This week’s top five
GARIBALDI & NEWPORT — I’m not knocking the diesel engine; when you absolutely, definitely have to get your ship from A to B in a hurry, you should accept no substitutes. But, when it comes to sheer, jaw-dropping grandeur, nothing compares to the intensely romantic sight of a tall ship at full sail. With Hawaiian Chieftain visiting Garibaldi this weekend and Lady Washington docking in Newport, (pictured below) budding buccaneers along the Central Coast will get the chance to get their Errol Flynn on with a tour or even a quick sailing trip. See page 10.

LINCOLN CITY — As a tour guide in Vancouver BC one summer, I was fond of telling a story about an eccentric millionaire who allowed his grandchildren to ride a Shetland Patrick Alexander pony on top of one of the city’s tallest skyscrapers. To this day I have Editor no idea if there was even a shred of truth to that tale. Be a better customer service worker than I was by attending Love Your Lincoln, a training event, pizza feed and trivia contest all rolled into one, where I have somehow been trusted to read the questions. See page 16.

NEWPORT —Rogue Ales read the old proverb about every dog having his day and decided to go one better with the Brewer’s Memorial Ale Festival — two days of fun for dogs and their owners. While pooches can check out the dog wash, Doggy Olympics and Doggy Dancing, the two-legged guests can peruse a selection of 50 microbrews from around the Pacific Northwest. See page 15. ROCKS EVERYWHERE — The crown jewel in the Oregon Coast’s long list of cool stuff to do at the beach for free, tide-pooling is set to get even cooler this weekend as Spring Tides hit. With extra-low tides revealing seldom-seen crevices, it’s time to dig out some sturdy boots and start peering. See page 14.

TILLAMOOK — In 1912 when running as the Progressive Party candidate for president, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest. Rather than rush to the hospital, he insisted on delivering a speech that lasted an hour and a half. “It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” he said, displaying his bloodstained shirt to the crowd. More proof that if Teddy hadn’t existed, we would have had to make him up. See Roosevelt interpreter Joe Wiegand’s take on the bulletproof president, page 16. 12

Divas get all stirred up Some neighborhoods just attract talented people — New York’s Upper East Side, London’s Hyde Park and... the Delaware Valley Federal Correctional Facility? That’s the setting for “Delval Divas,” which continues its four-week run at Lincoln City’s Theatre West this weekend. Together, wayward Wall Street trader Stella Wild, larcenous lawyer Rosemary Adams, dodgy doctor Linda Robertson and crooked computer hacker Beth Ziegler are the Delval Divas — and they are doing the time of their lives. With massages on call, chocolates on the pillow and their pick of the best gourmet restaurants come mealtime, the divas are living high on the hog, with prison guard Lucille eating out of their hand. But life on the inside gets turned inside out when one of the divas is released and her bunk assigned to Sharon, a new inmate facing charges distinctly messier than tax fraud. Written by Barbara Pease Weber, “Delval Divas” is brought to the Lincoln City stage by Bryan Kirsch, fresh from his recent exertions in “Sin, Sex and the CIA.” The play features a raft of Theatre West veterans, with Tracy Blakeman as Stella, Ellen Christian as Linda, Tamara Merry as

Students from the Newport School of Dance and Oregon Coast Ballet Company will be demonstrating their skills this weekend as “A Ballet Lesson” takes to the stage at the Newport Performing Arts Center. School founder Sian Zander will take the audience on a trip down the path to becoming a dancer as students illustrate technique and perform their own dance designs as well as classical variations from well-known ballets. “The Newport Performing Arts Center has always been a learning lab to me,” Zander said. “The number of young people who have taken the stage there and then gone on

at Newport School of Dance and a soloist in the Oregon Coast Ballet Company, has created several works, including a solo that will be performed by Morse. Meanwhile, Morse, a teacher at Dance and All That Jazz, has choreographed a piece for ballet company dancers Rhiannon Chuck, Kaiya Loper and Lindi and Leah Hunter. Dancers will take to the stage at 7 pm on Saturday, May 17; and again at 2 pm on Sunday, May 18, at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street.

Are you ready to vent? Blind crabs, giant clams and mouthless tubeworms are among the marvelous creatures that will feature in Dr. Steve Hammond’s Wednesday, May 21, presentation on the fascinating organisms that thrive near hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean. Hammond, recently retired program director for NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, will give an account of 30 years of research into the vents and the life that flourishes where scientists previously thought nothing could survive. Scientists first discovered deep-sea hydrothermal vents on the Galápagos Rift in 1977, accompanied by colonies of creatures nourished by chemicals
released from the Earth rather than the power of the sun. Shortly after their discovery, NOAA installed a high-resolution, multi-beam sonar Steve Hammond system on the agency’s ship Surveyor, the first of its kind on a US civilian research vessel. An interdisciplinary team of ocean scientists from NOAA, Oregon State University and the University of Washington began to use the new sonar to systematically map the sea floor spreading centers off the Northern California, Oregon and Washington coasts and to explore
for vents. What followed were three decades of spectacular discoveries and research that remain at the forefront of efforts to understand how deep volcanic and hydrothermal activity impact the physical, chemical and biological environments of the global ocean. Hammond’s career in ocean exploration and research began at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and, for the past nearly 40 years, he has been an active scientist and program director for NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research. Trained as a marine geologist and geophysicist, his principle scientific interests are focused on discovering and understanding how the Earth’s

A knotty moral question If a tree objects to the environmentally degrading activities of the human race while no one is around — does it still make a sound? Philosophy professor Dr. Tom Kerns will wrestle with this and other moral conundrums in his Saturday, May 17, presentation to the Yachats Academy of Arts & Sciences, entitled “Should Trees Have Standing?” Kerns, a professor of philosophy at North Seattle Community College, will look at whether trees, water, soil ecosystems or oceans have moral status and can make justifiable claims on human duty. He will also ask if humans have a moral obligation to protect our ecosystems from ourselves.
time of changing ocean and climate conditions. His free presentation will begin at 6 pm in the auditorium of the Hatfield Marine Science Center’s visitor center, 2030 SE Marine Science Drive. St. Augustine Catholic Church
“This particular topic is gaining national attention,” Kerns said. “A current case is before the Oregon Department of Justice. It is being argued by the proponents that government does have an obligation to protect our natural resources for future generations and the well-being of our Earth.” Kerns is executive director of Environment and Human Rights Advocacy as well as a board member of Beyond Toxics and Concerned Citizens for Clean Air. His May 17 presentation will begin at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N.

Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying “imagination is more important that knowledge” and a new class in Lincoln City is aiming to help people unlock the power of their minds through a process known as guided imagery. “It is a valuable tool of positive mind-body interaction — simple, yet powerful,” instructor Diana Lynn Kekule said. “It is used extensively in numerous professions for its physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits to relax, release, clarify, and raise consciousness.” Kekule said guided imagery can be used for physical, psychological and emotional healing; as well as allowing people to reach peak performance and attain their personal goals. The ongoing class runs from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm on Tuesdays and 5:30 to 6:30 pm on Wednesdays in the conference room of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. The fee per class is $5 and drop-ins are welcome. For more information or to register, contact Kekule at 541-614-0924 or luvsea33@gmail.com.

Really get into history With more than 100,000 soldiers training on a complex that included some 1,800 buildings, Camp Adair sprang up out of nowhere to become Oregon’s second largest city in 1940. Located just north of Corvallis, the camp was used to train thousands of soldiers in preparation for deployment to Germany during World War II. Though long since decommissioned, the camp has an enduring legacy in the form of 11 chapel buildings that were disassembled and transported to new locations after the war ended. On Thursday, May 15, Oregon Coast author John H. Baker will give a presentation on the camp’s history from one of those chapel buildings, which, for the past 65 years, has served as St. Augustine Catholic Church in Lincoln City. Baker, author of “Camp Adair, The Story of A World War II Cantonment,” will give a presentation filled with amazing facts about the building of the camp, as well as personal stories from the soldiers who trained there. The free talk will start at 3:30 pm in the hall of St. Augustine Catholic Church, 1139 NW Hwy 101.

Dan “the Magic Man” Roberson will be welcoming visitors to the North Lincoln County Historical Museum in Lincoln City on Sunday, May 18, with magic tricks, face painting and balloon sculptures to celebrate the museum’s shift to summer hours. The museum will be open on Sundays from noon to 5 pm throughout the summer in addition to its regular opening hours of noon to 5 pm Wednesday through Saturday. Roberson will be on hand to greet visitors from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. “Sundays are always a great time to bring the family to the museum,” said museum Executive Director Anne Hall, “Exploring the history and heritage of north Lincoln County is a wonderful way to foster learning and culture in young people, while the Children’s Corner offers a place for younger children to experience imaginative play by dressing up in old time costumes, playing school, or interacting with puppets; leaving parents free to explore the museum at their leisure.” The museum is located at 4807 SW Hwy. 101. Thanks to a grant from the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, admission is free. For more information, call 541-996-6614.

For the third summer in a row the ladies of the Oregon Coast Chorus are offering their summer program, a chance to sing with the chorus for 11 weeks — finishing up with a concert performance in Newport. Throughout the 11-week program, guests will learn about the art of singing four-part harmony in the barbershop style. Regional coaches will be available for coaching with the chorus and to provide private vocal lessons for members and guests. The program comes to a grand finale on Saturday, July 26, when the chorus will perform at the third annual choral baseball show at the American Legion in Newport along with the Sea Breeze Harmony Chorus from Coos Bay. This program is for women of all ages from throughout Lincoln County. Young women are encouraged to attend and learn more about the Young Women in Harmony programs available through Sweet Adelines International. Rehearsals for the summer chorus start on Thursday, May 15, with singers who can’t make that date encouraged to join in as soon afterward as they can. For folks that need a ride, the chorus will arrange a pick up and drop off. Practice runs from 6:15 to 9 pm each Thursday at the American Legion, 424 West Olive Street, Newport. There is a $10 fee to cover the cost of music. For more information, call Ellen at 541-574-6407.

Giving a dog his day We gave my Mom cash that Mother’s Day in the early 1970s. It was to buy herself something at the new department store. But when we arrived, we found the Humane Society had set up on site with a handful of dogs and cats that needed homes. And so we went home that day not with a new dress for my Mom, but a cuddly black puppy with a streak of white on her chest. My brother, newly home from his stint in the navy, decided her name should be Ruda Chee Chee — “Cheech” for short — after his favorite bartender in Barcelona. And hey, if my brother wanted to name my new puppy after his favorite bartender, well then, Ruda Chee Chee, she would be. But Cheech, a lab mix with a thick long coat, was destined to be a big dog, too strong for me to handle on leash, and soon my parents decided she would have to live outside. We lived along a three-lane highway and our large yard had no fence. Indeed, it seemed much too large to even consider fencing. My dad brought home a large, well-constructed dog house, set it up under the shade of a big old oak tree on four cinder blocks to keep it off of the ground. He padded it with a bedding of straw, and then he installed the chain that Cheese would be tethered to. And all the while this was going on, I begged, I pleaded, I cried. Do not make her live outside. They said there was no choice. Otherwise, the risk that she might get hit by a car was too great. It was wet and miserable the day Cheech’s new home was ready. My dad attached her to her chain. But Cheech just stood there, refusing to take herself out of the rain while I sat on the ground with her still sobbing. Finally, I crawled inside the house, coaxing her to come in with me. I told my parents I would live outside with her; I threatened to run away. I said pretty much every hateful thing a 12-year-old dare come up with. But my parents, who rarely said no to me and were generally loving and kind, would not relent. And so Cheech lived outside. All these years later, it is one of those dark thoughts that come haunting in the wee hours when sleep is an elusive tease. But now I think I may be able to put Cheech to rest. I first learned of Fences for Fido five years ago. Founded by a group of Portland women, their
mission was to provide fences so dogs could be freed from their chains. The idea was fashioned after the Coalition to Unchain Dogs in North Carolina. At the time, Fences for Fido wasn’t doing work on the coast, but a few weeks ago, I looked them on the Internet and lo and behold they were here. I signed up, and last week, the hubs and I joined five other volunteers to build a fence for the small white furball Kola, and her pal Bear, a black lab pup with boundless energy. The group had cemented the posts the week before and now we went to work, unrolling wire mesh fence, pounding in supports, measuring, hammering and securing. Not four hours later, the pups had a large, fenced yard, including gates and

ground wire. They also got two sturdy dog houses and beds, the latter made by FFF coast coordinator Skye McCloud’s special education students out of donated coffee bean bags (thank you Boyd’s of Troutdale) and cedar chips. And me, I got to smile, I got to drive away knowing two dogs would never need to spend a moment tethered to a chain. And now when I awake in those dreaded restless wee hours and my thoughts turn to Cheech, I’ll let them turn instead to all the dogs that will never need to know a chain. To date, Fences for Fido has provided more than 700 fences and dog houses, too. If you want to help, with money or time, or know a dog who needs a fence, please go to www.fencesforfido.org. and support their good work.

Marine adventure beckons as tall ships call on Newport and Garibaldi By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY
W
ith its two narrow lanes, Newport’s Yaquina Bay Bridge requires drivers to exercise great discipline in tearing their eyes from the gorgeous scenery to focus on the roadway ahead. That task is set to become even more difficult next weekend when the list of distractions will expand to include two 18th-Century sailing ships doing battle in the bay below. The skirmishing vessels in question are Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, a pair of tall ships that will be docking in Newport as part of their West Coast tour. Arriving on the Central Coast on Wednesday, May 14, the ships will be offering walk-on tours, two- and threehour public sailing excursions and K-12 education programs in Newport and also in Garibaldi, where the smaller Hawaiian Chieftain will be making a short visit. Both ships are owned and operated by the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, a nonprofit based in Aberdeen,

Washington, that is dedicated to bringing maritime history to life. And while the ships might look like they just sailed right out of the 18th Century together, they actually have very different origins. The seaport authority built Lady Washington from scratch in 1989 as a replica of the original Lady Washington — the first American ship to reach the west coast of North America under the command of Captain Robert Gray. The aim of Gray’s expedition, which involved an arduous voyage around Cape Horn, was to capitalize on the value of otter pelts from the Pacific Northwest. The vessel went on to open up trade links throughout the Pacific, visiting Honolulu, Hong Kong and Japan. Built on a timber frame using traditional shipbuilding techniques, the replica vessel is an almost exact copy of the original when viewed from outside, although sharp-eyed observers will be able to spot the radar dome and — if the water is clear — the shadow of a propeller at the stern.
Joe Follansbee, communications director for the seaport authority, said the ship’s diesel engine is mainly a safety feature to make sure Lady Washington can maneuver her way around marinas. But, he added, it does come in handy when the ship is running late. “If she has to be somewhere and the wind is going in the wrong direction, we will fire up her motor,” he said. Follansbee said the interior of the 112-foot-long ship has quite a few differences from her 18th-Century namesake — with crew bunks instead of a cargo hold; and modern appliances like a refrigerator and stove to make life more comfortable for the crew. While Lady Washington is a wooden ship, the 103-foot Hawaiian Chieftain has a steel hull and two engines. Follansbee said the vessel, which was built in Hawaii in 1988, is classed as “an interpretation” of an 18th-Century trading ship rather than a replica. Designed specifically to hop between islands in the South Seas, the ship has a flat bottom that allows it to land on beaches at high tide and slip back off when the tide comes in. That flat bottom, paired with a very shallow draft of just five and a half feet, also makes it possible for Hawaiian Continued on Pg. 11
on the cover Continued from Pg. 10
Chieftain to get over the bar at Tillamook Bay and pay a visit to Garibaldi — a task that would be perilous for the larger Lady Washington. Follansbee said the ships are on the move 10 months of the year, visiting California to Oregon from late September to early May, heading north as the weather improves. After a month at home port in Gray’s Harbor, Washington, the ships heading off for a summer season visiting communities around Puget Sound. On their journeys the ships are crewed by a mixture of professionals, who sign up for three to six months aboard; and volunteers taking part in the “Two Weeks Before the Mast” program, which allows people of all levels of ability to pay for the experience of crewing a tall ship. Visitors setting out for one of the short sailing trips from Newport or Garibaldi needn’t worry about being drafted in to swab the decks. But Follansbee said the crew does offer passengers the chance to help out here and there, like raising the sails, singing a sea shanty or even taking a turn at steering the ship. But it’s when the two ships are reunited in Newport that the sparks will really start flying — with the pubic getting the chance to experience an 18th-Century naval skirmish in the bay, with Battle Sails taking place on Saturday, May 24, and Sunday, May 25. “There is real gunpowder, real cannon, real booms, but of course no cannon balls,”

Follansbee said. “We invite people to verbally taunt their opponents and try to have a little fun but also make it a learning experience.” Follansbee said that, whether watching a skirmish from the shore or coming aboard for a sailing trip, almost everyone who comes into contact with the ships is thrilled by the experience. “People, almost to a person, love us,” he said. “I won’t say that it’s 100 percent — mostly because a few people get seasick.”

ow low can you go? Well, from now until Tuesday, May 20, you can go a lot lower, thanks to Spring Tides on the Oregon Coast. These extra-low tides make for perfect tide-pooling conditions, exposing areas that are often not accessible, including all of the interesting critters that live there.

species you might see are the small red octopus and the much larger giant Pacific octopus. Red octopuses only get to be about 4.5 ounces and can easily squeeze into tiny hiding spaces. Giant Pacific octopuses, on the other hand, can sometimes grow up to 150 pounds. They are sometimes seen crawling between tide pools but usually stay below the low tide mark.
Know before you go Tide-pooling is a very enjoyable experience but there are some safety points to consider. Find out when low tide is and go out about an hour before. That way you can follow the tide out and get to see as much of the low tide zone as possible. Wear sturdy shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, or rubber boots with good soles — the tide pools are slick. Not only are there wet rocks with slippery algae growing on them, there are slippery anemones that are great at camouflage. Stepping on a hidden group of anemones could send you into the
What are Spring Tides? Twice each month the sun and moon align with Earth, which creates a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides. These are called Spring Tides, even though they happen year round. This year, the best Spring Tides are in May, June and July with minus tides as low as -2.6 feet.
nearest pool. Watch where you walk and don’t step on the animals. It’s perfectly OK to touch the animals in the tide pools, but be gentle. Many of these animals such as sea stars, hang on tight to the rocks and pulling them off can damage them and leave them vulnerable to the ever-present hungry sea gulls. Lastly, always keep an eye on the ocean. Know when the tide is coming back in and watch out for sneaker waves.

SNIFF TEST Rogue Ales brews up something special for memorial bash
T
his weekend, Newport will well and truly go to the dogs as Rogue Ales welcomes guests both two-legged and four- to the eighth annual Brewer’s Memorial Ale Festival. The festival, which will take place on Friday, May 16, and Saturday, May 17, includes all manner of events to entertain dogs of all shapes and sizes, as well as live music and 50 different varieties of beer from microbreweries across the state. The event is held in honor of Brewer, the friendly black lab who served as Rogue’s mascot, greeter and general supervisor for many years — eventually rising to the rank of CEO. Each day of the festival, dogs will get the chance to perform in the Doggy Olympics — jumping through hoops, weaving through cones and generally having fun. For those who want to show off their nifty footwork, the Doggy Dancing contest will give them the opportunity to bust a move or two. A free dog wash station will help TODAY photo
pooches beat the heat while ensuring that they are ready to pass the inevitable sniff test that comes with making new friends. Other activities will include Doggy Musical Chairs the Dog-a-like contest, which will reward dead-ringers for famous canines such as Rin-Tin-Tin, Lassie, Benji and — of course, Brewer himself. Dogs will also get the chance to sign up for their very own Rogue Nation ID card — complete with mugshot. Last year’s festival attracted 810 dogs and 3,200 people, binging with them a thirst that could only be slaked by the finest craft beers in the Pacific Northwest. This year’s festival will allow guests to choose from 50 microbrews from a range of visiting breweries including Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River; Leavenworth Biers; Backwoods Brewing Company from Carson, Washington; Portland’s Columbia River Brewing Company; and the newly founded Newport Brewing Company. Plenty of Rogue’s own brews will also be available, including its signature Brutal IPA. And proof (if proof were required) that the festival is truly a special bash can be seen in the fact that one of Newport’s favorite rock bands is coming out of retirement to perform at the event. Led by Rob Connell on guitar, the Classic Rock Club features Steve Cook on bass, Curtis Colt on drums, Joe Armenio on keyboards and Mark Mugnai on guitar. Connell said the group of veteran musicians played the festival a couple of years ago and couldn’t turn down the invitation for an encore performance. “As always,” he said, “we’ll be playing the finest in rock and roll, from Tom Petty to Nirvana to the Doors, Iron Butterfly and points beyond.” Classic Rock Club will play from 8 to 10 pm on Friday, May 16, following a set from Lozelle Jennings and the Purple Cats, who will take the stage from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Playing blues, Cajun, country, R&B and more, the Purple Cats features Lozelle “The Racontourist” Jennings on harp, accordion and vocals accompanied by sizzling guitar from Joren Rushing, Steve Cook on bass and Leonard Maxson on drums; plus special guests Steve Burkle on keyboards and the Mumble Bros. Horn Section. The festival runs from 4 to 10 pm on Friday, May 16; and from noon to 10 pm on Saturday, May 17, at Rogue World Headquarters, 2320 SE Marine Science Drive at the south end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Admission is $5 and dogs get in free when accompanied by a human. Proceeds will benefit Lincoln County animal charities. For more information, call 541-867-3660.

Something to declare
With seven miles of sandy beaches, a serene lake, forest trails and plenty of great restaurants, Lincoln City is easy to like. But to love Lincoln City? That’s something entirely different. And on Thursday, May 22, frontline service workers will get the chance to test how well they know and love their city in Love Your Lincoln — a two-part training event featuring trivia, prizes, beer and pizza. The event, organized by the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce assisted by the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau and the Small Business Development Center at Oregon Coast Community College, will start with a morning session from 9 am to noon, featuring a host of brief presentations from local attractions like the Connie Hansen Gardens, North Lincoln County Historical Museum and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. In the middle of all that, chamber president and business improvement specialist Chris Waugh will give
a 45-minute presentation on the fundamentals of customer service. “It’s really important for people to understand that the skills that serve customers are the same skills that build leaders and make good spouses,” she said, “communication and conflict resolution.” Waugh’s talk will be interspersed with chances to win prizes by answering questions about local businesses. In addition, the first 100 people through the door will receive goodie bags donated by Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Dave Price, director of the Small Business Development Center, said the event is designed to offer frontline employees the chance to win instant rewards as well as long-term benefits, like the ability to make more in tips. “It’s a nice line for a resume and it doesn’t cost them anything,” he said. Attending the morning session is also worth a free ticket to the evening event — a Trivia-palooza with free gourmet pizza and soda, a no-host bar and the

Marv and Rindy Ross
Some notes on writing
The spring workshop season hosted by Newport’s Writers on the Edge will take a lyrical turn this weekend, as musicians Marv and Rindy Ross come to the coast to talk about the art of songwriting. The creative force behind the Oregon band Quarterflash, the Rosses have lived out many a musician’s fantasy, producing gold and platinum records including five top-40 hits; touring with Elton John and Linda Ronstadt; and even being commissioned by the state of Oregon to produce a musical based on the diaries of Oregon Trail immigrants. Marv is a songwriting instructor and is on the 2014 faculty of the Fishtrap writing series. His musical, “The Ghosts of Celilo,” was presented by Artists Rep in 2007 and 2011 and won 11 Portland Area Musical Theater Awards. He also founded The Trail Band and produced
their 13 albums. He was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2007 and received the Alumni Award of Excellence from Western Oregon University for his contributions to northwest art and history. On Saturday, May 17, he and Rindy will perform some of their new music, including songs from their new album, “Love is a Road.” Afterward, they will open the floor to a conversation about songwriting and their life in music. The evening will conclude with an open mic for local songwriters. General admission is $10, with students admitted free. The event will take place at the Newport Senior Center, 20 SE 2nd Street, starting at 7 pm. Marv will be back at the senior center the next day, Sunday, May 18, for a free songwriting workshop, starting at 2 pm. All are welcome. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org.
A memoir of hope Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library will be the venue for some harrowing subject matter on Sunday, May 18, when local author Bunny Stevens will talk about her recently-published memoir “Unholy Union: A Memoir of Clergy Sexual Abuse Within the Salvation Army.” The book takes the reader on a journey through the darkest of betrayals — abuse of children and vulnerable adults in their homes and the church; where they should have expected safety and protection. In “Unholy Union,” the author breaks her 50-year silence and, with heartbreaking transparency, reveals what no one wants to believe can actually happen. Ultimately, though, Stevens said her book is a story of victory over those who shamed her, renounced her and commanded her to “go away and tell no one.”
Stevens has been a legal secretary, an insurance department manager, the owner and operator of a busy automotive repair shop, a newspaper columnist, a photographer and the director of Christian education and middle school ministries at a large Presbyterian church. She is ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church and has found great joy in some of life’s lighter moments — especially as “Leafy” the mascot for the Salinas Packers semi-pro baseball team during a summer she was 64 years old. Now living in a tiny cottage on the Oregon Coast, Stevens looks upon her continuing participation in the lives of her two grown sons as the most precious thing of which she has ever been a part. She participates in the daily activities that make her new home special — giving

back by volunteering as a chef to the homeless outreach program; visiting, along with her dog Buddy, at the local assisted living facility; and running halfmarathons. The free May 18 talk will start at 3 pm in the library on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@ lincolncity.org.
If, when asked where to find a poem, your first answer is: “Why, in a book, of course,” the presenter at the Sunday, May 18, Willamette Writers workshop would like you to think again. In “Public Acts of Poetry,” Salem poet Stephanie Lennox will invite participants to consider the ways that poetry interacts with the public — from poems in parking structures and hospitals to poems read at weddings and funerals, from open mics and poetry slams to poets laureate and poetry boxes. “What happens when a poem gets up off the page and wanders into a mall, a bathroom stall, or onto a public sidewalk?” she asked. “What can poetry become when it is performed, floated down a stream, or projected onto a wall?” Workshop participants will experiment with several exercises, including an invocation to a muse; collaborative writing; and writing for a public occasion. Finally, they will create their own small public acts of poetry to perform for the rest of the group. This workshop will experiment with the potential that taking poetry WHAT: Poetry workshop outside the classroom, or with Stephanie Lennox at least off the page, has WHERE: Newport Public in terms of learning and Library, 35 NW Nye Street encouraging creativity.

Lenox is the author of “Congress of Strange People” and “The Heart That Lies Outside the Body.” She first started teaching poetry by sneaking it into ESL lesson plans under the guise of pronunciation practice. Whether working with second graders, high schoolers or college students, she aims to demystify the process of writing poetry while preserving the mysterious spaces within poetry that make it vital. She teaches creative writing at Willamette University and lives in Salem where she is currently being schooled by two smart ladies — Louisa, aged 2; and Iris, aged 4. Her website is at www.stephanielenox.com. The free workshop will run from 2 to 4 pm at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street.

The Manzanita Writers’ Series will welcome Portland author Dan Berne on Saturday, May 17, to talk about his debut novel “The Gods of Second Chances,â€? a family saga set against the backdrop of an Alaskan ďŹ shing village. Family means everything to Alaskan ďŹ sherman Ray Bancroft, battling storms, invasive species and lawsuit-happy tourists all while trying to raise his granddaughter. To navigate, and to catch enough crab to feed her college fund, Ray seeks help from a multitude of gods and goddesses — not to mention ad-libbed rituals performed at sea by his half-Tlingit best friend. But kitchen counter statues and otter bone ceremonies aren’t enough when his estranged daughter returns from prison, swearing she’s clean and sober. Her search for a safe harbor threatens everything Ray holds sacred. Set against a backdrop of ice and mud and loss, Berne’s debut novel explores the unpredictable ďŹ ssures of memory and how families can break apart even in the midst of healing. The novel has won praise from Suzy Vitello, author of “The Moment Before.â€? “Rarely have I come across a novel that blends story-telling, drama, and great writing quite as well as “The Gods of second Chances,â€? she said. “I confess — I bought this book for my husband, but when he fell asleep, I snagged it, and couldn’t put it down. There are moments of sadness, well-paced reveals, lush landscape description, fantastic and honest character sketches — all the things I look for in a stay-up-all-night read.â€? Berne has been an active member of a select writing work group led by author Karen Karbo for 10 years. His short stories and poetry have been published in literary magazines and this — his debut novel — was chosen for publication during the 2013 open submission period at Forest Avenue

Great songs — with the prize to prove it Folk music will fill Manzanita’s Hoffman Center on Friday, May 16, when Cal Scott, first-place winner of the Great American Song Contest, brings a concert of original songs to the coast. The concert will feature Scott on vocals, guitar and harmonica; performing songs from his latest album, “Carved Wood Box.” Among those songs is “Paid Too Much for the Diamond,” a piece that won Scott first place in the singer-songwriter Cal Scott category of the 2012 Great American Song Contest. Kathryn Claire, who performed on the new album, will join Scott on stage, providing vocals, fiddle and guitar. Claire will also sing songs from her new album, “Shimmering Blue.”
Scott is the musical director of the eightpiece ensemble The Trail Band and also records and tours with Irish fiddler Kevin Burke. Their album “Across the Black River” was hailed as one of the top 12 world music CDs of 2007 by the New York Times. Scott has also written musical scores for more than 50 PBS specials, including the opening theme for the Oregon Public Broadcasting program, “The Oregon Experience.” A master of many styles, his specialty is scoring to picture: creating the right music to tell the story. In addition to his dramatic orchestrations, he has developed a feel for folk music from many cultures, helping a film establish a sense of place and time. More information on Scott is available at www.calscottmusic. com The May 16 gig will start at 7:30 pm at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $12.

Surf for the little children Registration is now open for the 6th annual Otter Rock N’ Roll Youth Surf Contest and Beach Cleanup Challenge, organized by the Surfrider Foundation. The event, which takes place from 8 am to 4 pm on Saturday, June 21, at Devil’s Punchbowl State Park in Otter Rock, is open to all kids aged 18 and under, from beginners to experts. From the no-experience-necessary beginner division with lessons to the parent-with-child division or the more competitive 16-18-yearold division, there is something on offer for all beach lovers. As well as the surfing, there will be beach games and activities throughout the day, including the special beach cleanup challenge, where youth can compete for different prizes
through various stewardship activities. Organized jointly by the Surfrider Foundation’s Newport, Siuslaw and Portland chapters, the contest is timed to coincide with International Surfing Day, which helps raise awareness about issues facing oceans, waves and beaches. “This is a great opportunity to engage in ocean stewardship, physical activity, and family friendly competition,” said Matt Hawkyard of the Newport chapter. “No surf experience is required — just a desire to enjoy the sport of surfing.” Advance registration is $25 at www. otterrockandroll.com. Beach registration is $35 and closes at 8 am sharp on the day of the contest. All participants will receive an event t-shirt and great prizes from local sponsors.

Wild at art
Whether it’s a breathtaking seascape or a dog riding a hog, Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery has you covered at its latest Spotlight Show, featuring work from local artists Josephine Allen and Cody Cha. Allen said she has loved art since she was a child but didn’t start painting until she retired. She has worked with pastels, watercolor, clay and other mediums, but her favorite is acrylic. She likes the fact that it dries quickly and thinks mixing colors is fun. She likes to paint dogs as they bring joy to people’s lives and are man’s best friend. “My art is to make people laugh and not take life so seriously,â€? she said. “The other part is to enjoy the beauty of life. We are given a gift and we should enjoy it every day.â€? Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Allen fell in love with the Oregon Coast at ďŹ rst sight. She has been in Newport for more than 30 years and considers herself an Oregonian. As a child, she was inspired by her brothers, who were professional jewelry makers and musicians. Her father was
