Rinehart Clinic celebrates centennial
The Rinehart Clinic is celebrating 100 years of providing compassionate community care to North Tillamook County, and it has recreated the clinic’s history on 10 storyboards. The historical photos and articles tell some of the story of the clinic and the Rinehart family, and they will be on display throughout May and June in the Riverbend Room of the North County Recreation District, 36155 9th St. in Nehalem. During the history investigation, hundreds of copies and receipts from birth certificates from 1915 through the 1920s were discovered. Through the generous volunteer efforts of Karen Hirte, president of the Tillamook County Historical Society, a searchable database has been developed and will be available to view. Be sure to mark your calendars for other upcoming centennial events: June 1 will see the
Nehalem Bay Crab Derby at Jetty Fishery and Kelly’s Brighton Marina; July 27 to 29 will see the annual Sand Dollar Auction; and July 28 will be the Community Festival. For more information, visit www.rinehartclinic.org
Theatre hunts for ‘Fox’ cast
Theatre West is calling for auditions for its production of “The Fox on the Fairway,” a comedy farce by Ken Ludwig. The director is Rich Emery. Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 12 and Monday, May 13 at the theater located at 3536 U.S. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. The cast consists of three men and three women. No previous acting experience is necessary. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. The play is set to run from July 5 through Aug. 31. The play will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. There will be no show on Thursday, July 4. In addition to actors, the director is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved in “The
Fox on the Fairway” at Theatre West, stop by auditions or leave a message on the office phone at 541-994-5663. A tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, “The Fox On the Fairway” takes audiences on a hilarious romp that pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and overthe-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. Theatre West is a nonprofit, all-volunteer community theater whose roots in the community go back to 1975. Membership dues are minimal at $10 per year for an individual $12.50 for a couple, $15 for a family and $5 for a student. For more information visit www. theatrewest.com or call 541-994-5663.

Three little words…
on stage
…but a whole lot of trouble in “Sin, Sex and the CIA” Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
As the scandal surrounding philandering former CIA director Gen. David Petraeus fades from the news, people looking for a good dose of steamy shenanigans to accompany their geopolitical intrigue should look no further than the new offering from Theatre West in Lincoln City. “Sin, Sex and the CIA,” begins with the discovery of huge oil reserves in the Chagos Islands, which quickly come under pressure to join the OPEC cartel. Anxious to stop such a move, the US government sends a CIA agent and an undersecretary of state to a safe house in the mountains of Virginia to begin negotiations to place the Chagos Islands under US protection. Things get complicated as the CIA agent turns out to be extravagantly incompetent and the undersecretary proves that her actions are controlled more by her libido than by US foreign policy objectives. Adding to the confusion are a stranded televangelist, his seemingly innocent secretary, an ex-marine caretaker with a secret, and a mysterious, glamorous neighbor. The play is one of the many farces from husband and wife writing team Michael and Susan Parker, whose other works include “The Sensuous Senator” and “Never Kiss a Naughty
Nanny.” While the salacious titles might suggest an ‘anything goes’ approach, the couple insist that, in order for a farce to work, its characters must remain believable at all times. Bryan Kirsch, director of the Lincoln WHAT: Sin, Sex and the CIA City perforWHERE: Theater West, 3536 mance, said SE Hwy. 101, Lincoln City he agrees with that WHEN: 8 p.m. on Thurs., Fri., Sat., May 2 -25 philosophy. “Once COST: $12 adults; $10 seniors/ you can students; $8 children identify CALL: 541-994-5663 with the On performance days, the box character, office opens at 2 p.m. and doors then it all open at 7:30 p.m. Advance falls into reservations for all performances place,” he are recommended.

“Cabaret.” He has been involved with Theatre West for four years, appearing onstage as well as backstage positions. Kirsch said he feels blessed by the cast and crew around him, including Debbie Hendrickson as Heather, Joanna Corlett as Ranger Don, Karen Davis as Millicent, Rich Emery as Reverend Samuel, Shelby Barton as Luke and Tami Keller as Margaret. In addition to his directorial duties, Kirsch stepped in to play the role of Daniel, one of the OPEC “bad guys,” after his original pick for the role did not work out.

He said having to be on stage a lot means that he relies heavily on assistant director Danny Roberson to let him know what things look like from the audience’s point of view. The backstage crew also includes Max Johnson as lights and sound technician and Rashelle Fender as stage manager. Kirsch said people should come to the show prepared to laugh long and loud at both the dialog and the physical comedy. “I expect people will want to see it twice,” he said, “because you will probably miss something the first time.”

New Show at Yaquina Gallery
Sitka artists play show and tell
The forest is growing greener for summer, and Sitka Center writers- and artists-in-residence have been busy in their studios. They will host a Resident Show and Tell 1 p.m. Saturday, May 11 in the Boyden Studio at the Sitka Center, 56605 Sitka Drive in Otis. Meet the writers, musicians and artists, tour the campus, and watch a brief presentation of their work. Learn how their time at Sitka has influenced them creatively. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided. Spring residents include: • Christine Martell, a visual artist who uses imagery to enhance verbal communication through her company VisualsSpeak; • Nolan Stolz of Las Vegas, Nev., a musician with a unique compositional voice that is influenced by jazz and progressive rock yet is firmly rooted in the contemporary classical tradition; • Lindsey Thordarson of Petaluma, Calif., the 2010 recipient of the Doug Fir Fiction Award, whose work has been published in California Northern Magazine; • April Marie Hale, who creates large-scale adornment using felted wool and found natural and human-made objects that serve as a metaphor for the relationship between humans and the natural environment; • Frances Feldon, a musician who specializes in Baroque flute and recorder. Her current project is tentatively titled “Winging It: Birds & Music,” a concert of music inspired by bird calls and impressions.
Students in the After School Achievement Club at the Seashore Literacy Center helped install the “Shelter Me” exhibit at the Upstairs Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center.
Artful umbrellas provide shelter “Shelter Me,” a collection of painted umbrellas and writings about shelter and homelessness, is now showing in the Upstairs Gallery at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive in Newport. The show opened May 3 and will run to June 1. The students in the After School Achievement Club at the Seashore Literacy Center in Waldport created the exhibit. Earlier this year, one student asked Senitila McKinley, an artist and director of the center, why she painted umbrellas. To Senitila, the umbrella is a symbol of shelter that she paints as a meditation to seek answers to problems such as homelessness. Students said they wanted to paint umbrellas, real umbrellas. Senitila brought in paints and shared some techniques for painting on fabric. At the Seashore Literacy Center, the students talked about shelter, homelessness, and their own experiences with homelessness. From this discussion came a word list – safety, love, compassion, empathy, kindness, peace, security, hope – to describe the concept of the project. This led them to the definition that
homelessness is when you don’t have a place to call home. Since January, the students have painted more than 70 umbrellas, and their goal is to paint 500 or more. It takes a long time to paint an artistic umbrella and can’t be done in just one day. Some designs include: handprints, flowers, comic books, watermelons and more. One umbrella on display at the center says “shelter me,” with stick figures holding hands around the perimeter. For the “Shelter Me” exhibit, students hung more than 20 umbrellas along with pictures and poems in the Upstairs Gallery exhibit. Umbrellas can be donated for the project during the show. The theme of the project extends beyond the exhibit itself. You might spot umbrellas displayed in businesses around Waldport. “Shelter Me” is sponsored by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts. OCCA brings high quality arts experiences to the coast. Newport Visual Arts Center gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday or by appointment by calling 541-265-6569.
A two-week spotlight show featuring artists Charlotte Carter and Douglas E. Sheldon opened May 4 and will run through Friday, May 17 at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive in Newport. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Carter has pastels, watercolors and mixed media art on display. She likes to capture fleeting moments in nature, things that grow or change, such as plants, flowers, people or animals in motion or repose, changing weather and more. Carter teaches the Yaquina Art Association Pastel class that is ongoing from 10 a.m. to noon Thursdays at the Visual Art Center upstairs classroom. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in design drawing and painting from the University of Michigan and worked as a graphic artist and illustrator in the publishing industry for 20 years before retiring. Carter has worked in many different mediums. Her work can also be seen at the Senior Center and will be displayed in the Canyon Way Bookstore in October and November. Douglas E. Sheldon was born in central Kansas. He began art classes in fourth grade and loved painting and watercolors from a young age. Sheldon went to college with the intent to major in art and become an art teacher, but reality hit him. He ended up working as a visual art director doing window displays and merchandising for major companies like Meier and Frank. Sheldon worked in merchandising until going into landscaping when he moved to Oregon when he retired about 20 years ago. Sheldon teaches watercolor classes on a rotation basis for the Yaquina Art Association, as well as being a facilitator for the clay class. He has made it a priority to visit and paint many national parks, and he loves doing seascapes as well.
Plein air painting classes
Artist Bjorn Lundeen is back with another painting workshop, running 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursdays, May 16, 23 and 30 at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita. The goal of this class is to introduce plein air painting methods using water-based oil paints. Other topics will be covered, including: rendering the landscape, how to create atmosphere and distance, creating compositions, responding to the landscape, and capturing light, shadow and color. All materials will be provided. Bring outdoor easels and chairs if you have them. Cost is $60 for three sessions, plus a $15 materials fee. Register for the class by sending your name, phone number and payment ($75) to the Hoffman Center, P.O. Box 678, Manzanita, OR 97130. For more information, email Lundeen at bjornlundeen@hotmail.com

in concert
You’ll dig Tunnel Six in concert Tunnel Six, a sextet comprised of some of the most notable up-and-coming jazz musicians, will return to the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 7 p.m. Friday, May 10. The group was formed when its members attended the International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, in May 2009. Though the band was formed by chance meeting, the musical chemistry between the band members was immediately evident from the first notes they played. Within three weeks, the band members felt as though they had already been playing together for years. Tunnel Six is on tour with six musi-
cians: Chad McCullough of Seattle, on trumpet; Ben Dietschi of Toronto, Ontario, on saxophone;, Brian Seligman of Toronto, Ontario, on guitar; Andrew Oliver of Portland, on piano; Ron J. of Halifax, Nova Scotia, on bass; and Tyson Stubelek of New York, on drums. Since its inception, Tunnel Six has composed a substantial amount of new music and performed across Canada and the U.S. Their debut album, “Lake Superior,” was released in the spring of 2011 on Seattle-based Origin Records and distributed within Canada, the U.S. and Europe. A new live album recorded in Canada and
the U.S., “Alive,” was just released. Tunnel Six connects to a broad spectrum of audiences through the strong and intuitive storytelling elements of its compositions and improvisations. Accessibility, a broad palate of expression, and an organic narrative quality are some of the driving characteristics of the group’s approach to composition and performance. LCCC is located at 540 NE U.S. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and free for youth ages 12 and younger. To purchase tickets or for more information, call LCCC at 541-994-9994.

Blueprints Trio to honor mothers
A special Mother’s Day INHOUSE is slated for Sunday, May 12. Consistent with the INHOUSE format of presenting intimate concerts in non-traditional venues, INHOUSE will be offered at the Ozone Fine Art Gallery, 669 SW Bay Blvd in Newport.

Music will be performed by the Blueprints Trio, a non-traditional, progressive and conversational jazz ensemble.

All INHOUSE concerts are from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month from now to September. The INHOUSE atmosphere is informal; providing an opportunity for audiences to enjoy an intimate concert free from distractions often associated with a restaurant or bar.

World of watercraft
Make a splash during Devils Lake Dash Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
Lincoln City’s reputation as home to the world’s fastest lake will receive another boost on May 18 and 19 with the debut of a contest filled with high-octane racing, hairpin turns and gravity-defying acrobatics. The Devils Lake Dash will see competitors from beginner to professional put their Jet Skis and other personal watercraft through their paces in a contest that will kick off the Northwest Jet Sports Association’s 2013 season. The inaugural event came about after lakefront homeowner Miles Schlesinger got talking with some of the jet boaters who hold their annual speed trials on the lake each October, with the pilots saying the sea level altitude makes the lake perfect for racing. “So I thought, ‘why not Jet Skis?’” he said. Schlesinger, who has owned a Jet Ski for more than 15 years to cruise around the lake, said he had no idea that jet sports commanded such a committed following until he started searching. “It was a sport that I didn’t know existed as far as an organized thing,” he said But organized it is, with the International Jet Sports Boating Association governing a system that sees contestants in 11 regions throughout the U.S. vying for a place in the world finals, held each year on Lake Havasu, Arizona. Schlesinger made contact with Roger Harnack of the Northwest Jet Sports Association, a promoter for jet sports events in the Pacific Northwest region of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Harnack, of Riverside, Washington, traveled south to check out Devils Lake and concluded that its shallow depth and relatively warm water made for a perfect race site. Even more crucial was the community support that began to solidify around the event, with Chinook Winds Casino Resort coming
on board as the presenting sponsor, the City awarding a tourism development grant WHAT: Devils Lake Dash and the Devils Lake Water Improvement District and WHERE: Best view is from Regatta Park, NE West Devils Lincoln City Chamber of Lake Road, Lincoln City Commerce also backing the idea. WHEN: 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Sat. Harnack said racing perMay 18; 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Sun. sonal watercraft such as Jet May 19 Skis is like dirt bike racing COST: Free on water. “One of the biggest differences is that the water conditions change on every lap,” he said. “The longer the race goes, the more intense water conditions you face.” The course for the May 18 and 19 races will start at the boat dock at Regatta Park and be marked with buoys color-coded to indicate whether riders should turn left or right. Some buoys give riders the option to chose between an inside track, which is shorter with more turns, or outside track, which is longer but straighter — allowing each racer to play to their strengths. Harnack said racers will be adjusting their skis to take advantage of the low altitude and higher oxygen content, which should make for a fast course. The contest has different classes for watercraft depending on the amount of modifications they have undergone. Classes range from “stock” or unmodified models; to “limited” for models with limited modification such as improved piping or propellers; to “open,” which Harnack described as “anything goes.” There is also a special class for vintage models predating 1995 as well as for X2s, a modified watercraft that resembles a snowmobile. Aside from the races, the event will feature a freestyle competition, in which skiers will demonstrate their skill by perform-

ing barrel rolls, riding their skis backwards and even doing back flips from a flat-water start. Harnack said backflips require specially souped-up skis that are shortened and kitted out with enough horsepower to launch the vehicle and the rider skyward. The best views of all the action are likely to be from Regatta Park, where vendors will set up booths and spectators can watch the racers ready their skis for action. Open pits will allow the public to get a close look at the machines but organizers insist on no smoking — some of these machines run on aviation fuel. The Devils Lake Dash will open the 2013 season for the Northwest Jet Sports Association, a season that will close in September just a few miles north at the Blowsion Surf Slam in Pacific City — an event that sees skiers try their luck in the surf of the Pacific Ocean. The top skiers of the season will progress to the world finals at Lake Havasu. Harnack said some riders to watch out for are Oregon’s Alicia Goering, and Aaron Newport from Tri Cities, Washington, both of whom have placed within the top five in their categories worldwide. In the freestyle event, Matt Engels of Richland, Washington, and Owen Kuipers of Kelowna, BC, could be the first to thrill the crowd with a successful backflip, both having completed the tricky maneuver in contests last year. The event is open to riders of all ages, with skiers as young as 10 taking part. As well as age categories, the races will be divided up according to experience level with a slot for everyone from the professionals all the way to beginners who have never raced before. For those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land, there will be a mid-event cocktail party from 4 to 6:30 pm on Saturday, May 18, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The party, sponsored by Roadhouse 101, will give attendees a chance to meet the skiers, check out their watercraft and see the presentation of some awards from last season’s racing.

lively Godzilla film festival storms into Newport The Newport Public Library will screen three Godzilla films over the next two weekends, in anticipation of an upcoming Oregon Humanities program. The original Japanese Godzilla film, “Gojira,” will be shown at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 11. One of the longest-running series in film history began with this grim, black-and-white allegory for the devastation wrought on Japan by the atomic bomb. The special effects may look quaint to modern eyes, but the post-nuclear parable it offers is passionate and fascinatingly ambiguous. At 1 p.m. the same day, “Mothra” will be shown. It features the giant moth, and her eggs, which were stolen by a greedy developer. When the developer’s actions disturb Godzilla, it’s up to Mothra and her offspring to save Tokyo from destruction. “Godzilla, King of the Monsters” will be featured at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 18. This Americanized version of the film includes new scenes with actor Raymond Burr. Cinema studies scholar Isabelle Freda will lead a conversation entitled “Tracking Godzilla: Images of Nuclear Radiation in Film and Media” at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19. The film “Godzilla” was directly linked to the controversial aboveground hydrogen bomb testing in the Pacific Ocean. Freda’s program will address how the threat of nuclear radiation is being presented today through films and other media. This Conversation Project is sponsored by Oregon Humanities, with additional support from the Sylvia Beach Hotel. The Newport Public Library is located at 35 NW Nye St. For more information, call the library at 541-265-2153 or visit www.newportlibrary.org
Have a merry time at Ye Merrie Greenwood On Mother’s Day Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, Ye Merrie Greenwood Players will present their third annual Ye Merrie Greenwood at Glastonbury Faire in Toledo. The Faire is located on Port of Toledo property at Northwest First and A streets. The Faire is set in the year 1585 as a celebration for the arrival of Elizabeth I. The local residents have created this presentation to entertain her, bringing together entertainment, wares and food to delight her. The Faire features stages, a tourney field and several interactive exhibits. Performances include armored fighters, period dancers, madrigal singers, Renaissance musicians, and theater presentations. Merchant booths will sell the type of items that Shakespeare would have found common, and food booths will fare from the times. Ye Merrie Greenwood Players are a nonprofit theater company from the Tri-Cities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, Wash. Since 1985 these volunteers and players have produced their Ye Merrie Greenwood Faire in Richland. A professional troupe that encompasses all ages and talents, bring the world of Queen Elizabeth I to life, researching their own characters, making their own costumes, and offering visitors a real representation of the time. Glastonbury Faire opens at 10 a.m. and runs until 5 p.m. both days. Gate prices are $6 for adults and teens, $4 for seniors and children. Children under 5 are free. For more information, see www.yemerriegreenwoodfaire.org or the Glastonbury Faire Facebook page, or contact the director, Marjorie Kunigisky at 509-783-7727.
Newport Farmers Market promises to be sweet The second week in May means the return of the Newport Farmers Market. The market opens 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 11 at Newport City Hall, 169 SW Coast Highway. With the farmers market comes the Lemonade Project – a social enterprise sponsored by the Newport Farmers Market and Ten Rivers Food Web and run by community volunteers. Volunteers make and sell fresh squeezed lemonade at the market. Proceeds from the lemonade sales fund the That’s My Farmer SNAP Incentive Program, which is operated by Ten Rivers Food Web in partnership with farmers’ markets throughout Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties to offer customers with SNAP Benefits (formerly food stamps) added buying power when they purchase food from farmers and food producers in the community. Shoppers can use their Oregon Trail card to purchase tokens using the Newport Farmers Market’s EBT machine at the market manager’s table inside Newport City Hall. Every time a customer spends at least $6 at the market using an Oregon Trail card, they receive an extra $6 in farmers market tokens to purchase local food and support the family farmer economy. The Lemonade Project is looking for volunteers to work a Saturday morning at the lemonade stand. If you’re interested in supporting a great program by squeezing lemonade while having a fun Saturday in the sun at the farmers market, stop by The Lemonade Project booth at the market and talk to Bonnie Goode or contact 541-264-5728, chloe@tenriversfoodweb.org to volunteer or for more information.

foraging
Pick up something for dinner …with foraging classes at the Oregon Coast Story & photo by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
It’s easy to forget that there was a time when you couldn’t just head down to the local grocery store for sustenance. Craving a piece of toast? All you’d have to do is grow some wheat, harvest it, separate the wheat from the chaff, grind it, bake it, and then, finally, slice it up and toast it. Craving cinnamon toast? Better hope the trade routes are open. But things can sometimes get too convenient. Our connection to our food has been largely lost, and along with it some of our spirit of adventure and exploration. Foraging, especially with a knowledgeable guide that can take the fear factor out of the experience, doesn’t just repair our connection to food; it can also supplement your larder with no cost other than a little effort. Instructor John Kallas, who holds a doctorate in nutrition, a master’s in education, and degrees in biology and zoology, looks every bit the part
of a wild food expert, and his serious demeanor lends him an air of authority even as he holds up a “feather boa” seaweed. Some of the plant names he uses are in regular use and some are his own, like the “stir-fry” seaweed, a common sense name he uses because he “likes to put it in a stir-fry.” Kallas began researching edible wild plants in 1970, began teaching others in 1978, and is the author of the guidebook “Edible Wild Plants: Wild Foods From Dirt to Plate.” His “Wild Food Adventures” include forays into the forest as well as classes on the coast. Based in Portland, he frequents places like Forest Park, but for his seaside jaunts the Central Coast, especially the Lincoln City area, is a favorite choice. The day of the workshop I attended was a good one; the tide was lower than Kallas had seen it in all of his years foraging there, and rocks were exposed that had been submerged or covered in sand for years. The day progressed as a series of “seek, taste, and describe.” We participants found
ourselves straining to come up with descriptive names because the professor so obviously wanted us to come up with something, but, honestly most of our finds were surprisingly mild. This is not to say that it wasn’t fun trying. There was a lot of laughter shared among the group as we discovered new things, like what “mucilaginous” tastes like (not good), and that there is a seaweed that does indeed taste like blood, a description that initially made me hesitate to try that one. The crowd favorite were the olive-shaped air pouches

that grow on the feather boa seaweed that tasted almost like actual olives. Sea Vegetables of the Pacific Coast, in Lincoln City, will be held on May 26 and June 9. In the Tillamook area, Kallas will run a Butter, Steamer and Gaper Clam Dig on May 25 and a Pacific Coast Clam Dig on June 8. To sign up, or to find out more about Kallas and the foraging classes he offers, visit www.wildfoodadventures.com or call 503-775-3828.

Babes in Arrrrrrms ‘Ask a Pirate’ seeks advice on parenthood from the coast’s most roguish baker
Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
With parenthood very much on the mind here at TODAY Towers, we could think of no better topic to test the advice-giving talents of Lincoln City’s best-known pirate pastry chef and part-time agony uncle, Cap’n Dan. With the amount of time he spends in the store, crafting cookies, pies, turnovers and gourmet coffees, we know he’s no stranger to labor, but let’s see what else he knows about the child rearing process, in this latest installment of Ask a Pirate.
Dear Cap’n Dan, My wife and I are thinking of starting a family but don’t know if we are ready. How can we know if the time is right? One Only Please, Seattle Dear OOPS, When the tide is out it’s a perfect time. I think there’s more romance in the sand, although it could be a bit gritty. Oh, you mean what time of life rather than the time of day? Well, I would say that when you get the urge to name someone after yourself, it’s time to have kids. As a pirate, you don’t get the chance to name many things except for your ship and you should never name your ship after yourself. You name your ships after your exes and hope that they sink.
Dear Cap’n Dan, During the birth, it used to be the case that the man would stay in the waiting room, but nowadays it is fashionable for the man to be in the delivery room, helping out. What would a pirate do? Can’t Operate Normally or Focus Unless Someone Explains, Delaware
Dear CONFUSED Make sure you remove your sword first. And then, when it’s time to cut the umbilical cord, you get your sword back.

Dear Cap’n Dan, Do you have any suggestions for the best ways to keep a baby entertained? Is it a good idea to let baby play with my hat or cutlass?

Momiji is on a roll Sushi just one of the offerings at newly remodeled restaurant in Lincoln City
Sushi chef John Zhen presents one of his sushi rolls, pretty enough to photograph and share with friends.
Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
With the spread of smart phones and social media, an interesting ethical dilemma has popped up for diners — is it rude to take a photo of your meal before digging in? At Momiji in Lincoln City, the answer is a resounding ‘no,’ with the chefs keen to show off their sushi creations for all to see. “When you have a presentation of sushi or sashimi and they take a picture and put it on Facebook, we feel so proud and honored,” sushi chef John Zhen said. “That keeps me going in the sushi.” Jacob Allen, who worked his way up from delivery driver to become assistant manager and sushi chef trainee, agreed. “I didn’t really understand it until I had a couple take a picture of one of my plates,” he said. “It’s just a really good feeling.” And it is easy to see why Momiji diners are reaching for their cameras when their dishes hit the table, with the restaurant serving elegant, colorful sushi rolls and sashimi as well as a full range of Japanese and Chinese entrées. Zhen and his brother, restaurant owner Bruce Zhen, are originally from southern China — an area with a rich culinary heritage, although not one in which sushi features prominently. It was after moving to the US that Zhen trained as a sushi chef, 16 years ago while a sophomore at high school in Portland. While a person can learn the basics in six months, he said, to get really good takes two years of training, with patience and presentation the key qualities for making great sushi. That and making sure the roll doesn’t fall apart, said Allen, adding that he restaurant’s method of steaming the rice, and then adding rice vinegar before letting it cool ensures that rolls stay in one piece on their journey from the plate to the mouth. Wrapped within or perching atop that rice could be any of the nearly 40 varieties of seafood the restaurant has delivered twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, many of which cannot be found on the Oregon Coast. If the idea of raw fish makes you squeamish, fear not — Momiji offers several cooked fish sushi options, including barbecued eel, fried tilapia, tempura salmon and tempura shrimp Never tried sushi before? Just say so and Zhen will treat you to a free sample of his own personal creation — the Salem Roll. Made up of imitation crab, cream cheese and avocado, all of which are then deep fried tempura style, Zhen says the Salem Roll is Oregon’s answer to the famed California Roll, only much more flavorful. Zhen said that since he created the roll in 2005, it has gone on to become one of the most popular sushi rolls in Oregon. Unfortunately though, Zhen doesn’t get a royalty check every time another chef serves up his invention.
Sushi chef John Zhen adds the finishing touch to one of his sushi rolls with torch.
“I didn’t think that far ahead,” he said, adding: “I could be retired!” Diners stopping by for lunch or dinner at Momiji will be glad that Zhen is still on the job, especially those who take advantage of the restaurant’s dinner sushi combos, offering two rolls from a selected list for $10.95 or one roll and two sets of nigiri sushi for the same price. Add soup and salad for a dollar extra. Other Japanese entrées include teriyaki chicken, katsu chicken (fried chicken Japanese-style) and Oyaku Donbun, a chicken and egg dish that Zhen jokingly refers to as “mother and son cooked together.” Among the popular Chinese entrées are the sizzling platters, which come to the table on a cast iron skillet; and the dinner combos, which include a choice of dishes including sweet and sour chicken, pork chow mein, Mongolian beef and pork fried rice. Momiji first opened in Taft in 2005, spending three years there
before moving to its current location in the Tanger Outlet Center, where it has just completed a $55,000 remodel. To accompany the remodel, the restaurant brought in a certified chef from China to revamp some of its menu items. Zhen said that, to show gratitude to its regular customers, Momiji will mark its eighth anniversary on May 24 with a buyone-get-one-free offer on all entrées and sushi rolls. Can’t make it to the restaurant? No problem, Momiji offers delivery almost anywhere within Lincoln City within 30 minutes for $3.50, with no minimum order required. And when that food arrives, don’t worry about Styrofoam; the restaurant has moved to biodegradable and recyclable packaging — just one of many ways in which Momiji is a restaurant looking to the future. Momiji is located next to the main entrance of the Tanger Outlet Center, 1500 SE East Devils Lake Road, Lincoln City. It is open daily from 10 am to 9 pm. To place an order or make a reservation, call 541-996-8886.
