Fool of praise Patrick Alexander

EDITOR & PUBLISHER

Every year, our traditional April Fool prank story prompts a healthy response —divided roughly equally between people congratulating us for brightening their day and folks who call purely to let me listen to the sound of them sharpening their pitchforks. But without question, the finest response I have ever received came in recently from John Manson of Revere Beach, Massachusetts, who was moved to write by our entirely bogus report of neoprene-clad sea lion interpreters on Newport’s Bayfront. Here, we reproduce a slightly abridged version of the letter that made our day. Gluttons for punishment can see the original article on our website at www.oregoncoasttoday. com/oct/lively/20150324/no-more-lion-down. ••• Dear readers, During a recent visit to Lincoln County, we were distressed to learn of a labor dispute between rubbersuited sea lion interpreters and their Newport Yaquina Bay Front employers. This news was both grievous and surprising to us, grievous, because we hate the idea that any critter should sweat and grunt for the mere enjoyment of idlers and loafers, and surprising because we had thought that the case of THE GREAT INDIA RUBBER SUIT was satisfactorily resolved in 1852. With Daniel Webster being the triumphant attorney, and Charles Goodyear as the very pleased plaintiff, we just naturally figured that the issue of who should wear the rubber suit and under what disguises they should wear it had been completely zipped up. With more than the usual heaviness in our hearts and confusion in our heads, we headed for Newport to get the proverbial lowdown on this controversy. We chose a Saturday in early April as the day of our excursion, thinking that, if the tourists were going to show their solidarity with the rubberized sea lions, their fervor would be most in evidence on the first day of the weekend. After disemBARKING from The Lincoln County bus at Newport’s City Hall, we moseyed down the Hatfield Street hill toward the waterfront. More surprises awaited us as we approached the docks. Whereas we expected to smell the Halloween aroma of caramel corn, based on reports that this food group is a staple of the sea lion interpreters’ diet, our nostrils wrinkled at the increasing redolence of fish. As we got closer to the wharves, yet another unforeseen sensation intruded upon us, a discordant, cacophony of yelps, grunts, snorts and barks. Where was the unison of a great labor anthem, “YOU CAN’T TOUCH ME I’M PART OF THE UNION” or “SOLIDARITY FOREVER” or “COD AND HERRING,” the heroic chords of which inspired the great dolphin demonstrators and porpoise protesters of the past? Speculating that this inharmonious racket might be the routine prelude to a more cohesive choral concert, we lingered on, but the commotion was unaBAITED. Disconsolate at the dwindling strength of organized labor, we wandered westward and inland, more confused than ever. Were these bully boys and ruffians, sporting about and striving for dominance, mere scabby strike breakers? Were they in training for an NFL or NHL version of water polo? Had the rubber-wrapped wrestlers of previous seasons forsaken one Newport for another, imagining that the handouts in the former summer home of The Vanderbilts might be more lavish? With all of these unanswered concerns and questions, we are hopeful that some of your readers, if not the editor himself, can enlighten us as to the truth of whatever is happening in Yaquina Bay. In your sincere efforts to do so, we would ask that you remember that, despite the reputation of citizens of our metropolis being very sophisticated and erudite, we are just as often led astray by hucksters and columnists from the other end of dear old US Route 20. Sincerely, Befuddled if not Bamboozled in Boston

Can you shed some light on Newport’s attractions?

Who could say know?

Newport is a vibrant place to live and work — so much so that keeping up with what’s going on can be a full-time job. And that can be a problem for people who already have a full-time job but are still expected to know everything from what’s going on at the aquarium to what’s on tap at Rogue. So, to make sure that the town’s frontline hospitality staﬀ are prepared to answer any question that comes their way, the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce is oﬀering its popular Know Your Newport seminar on Wednesday, May 13. The free event gives

participants the lowdown on local attractions and customer service training as well as tips on how to showcase Newport’s amenities to visitors. Participants will receive a guided virtual neighborhood tour, complimentary passes to local attractions, door prizes, refreshments and a chance at winning the grand prize. There is a choice of two sessions — 9 am to noon or 6 to 9 pm — both at the Newport Recreation Center, 225 SE Avery Street. For more information, call Bobbi at 541-2658801 or email bobbi@ newportchamber.org.

FROM

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y L O R I T O B I A S

acked to a cork board above my desk is a piece of writing advice I try to keep in mind. Offered by novelist Colson Whitehead, it reads, “Don’t go searching for a subject, let your subject find you. … Once your subject finds you, it’s like falling in love. It will be your constant companion.” I didn’t have to ask to know how Bill Hall felt about that. Hall’s subject found him decades ago. It just took him a bit to respond. That moment finally came two years ago when writer and publisher Matt Love blogged that he wanted to write a novel about what might have been if Oregon Gov. Tom McCall had been President. He said he would call the book “McCallandia.” The concept, recalls Hall, “struck me like a bolt of lightning.” Would Love be interested in collaborating? Hall asked. No, Love replied. He’d probably never get around to it. Instead, he gave Hall his blessing to go it alone. Though as it turned out, Love’s Nestucca Bay Press would end up being his publisher. “The finished book is a little over 90,000 words,” Hall told me. “I probably wrote 11,000 in a week. I had a 48,000-word rough draft in two months.” Yep, Hall was in love. I got to hear excerpts from “McCallandia” a few weeks ago when Hall held his first public reading in Yachats. The novel fits under the literary genre of alternate history, in which the writer takes a piece of history, then at some point, departs from the facts and imagines instead what might have been. In this case, that comes when President Nixon names McCall the successor to Vice-President Spiro Agnew, which in turn leads to McCall becoming the POTUS upon Nixon’s resignation. I read “McCallandia” while sunning by a pool in Las Vegas. Opening it, I hoped for a good read — the same thing I hope for in every book. This was all of that, and more. Hall was just seven years old when McCall was first elected governor in 1966. He remembers watching him on TV, listening to him on the radio. He admired him for his push for the Beach Bill, the bottle bill and for Vortex, the only state sanctioned rock concert in history. In 1978, when McCall again announced his candidacy for governor, Hall went to work on the

TO THE

OVAL campaign. He had the honor of introducing him at one campus appearance and was present when the hopedfor victory party became the acknowledgment of defeat. Hall didn’t merely research the book, in many ways, he lived it. His knowledge of Oregon politics, history and personalities is so extensive, so absolutely believable, it’s almost as if he were in the same room with these people as events unfolded. Many times, I forgot I was reading ﬁction. His rendering of the characters, particularly McCall’s mother Dorothy, made me long to be part of that insider’s circle in the era former Secretary of State Phil Keisling describes as Oregon’s “Camelot.” But this isn’t only politics. There are appearances by Ken Kesey, John Lennon and Steve Prefontaine. Hall even takes a stab at a piece on McCall as he imagines Hunter S. Thompson might have written it for Rolling Stone While Hall rewrites history — often with a happier ending than reality allowed — this is no fairy tale, but a tribute to a man who guides him still. “When dealing with a complex or controversial issue, I often ﬁnd myself asking: What Would Tom Do?” Hall writes. Now, thanks to Hall and a few others, Oregon’s future generations will continue to learn about McCall’s legacy. As I write this Gov. Brown is set to sign legislation Hall helped draft naming McCall’s birthday, March 22, as Tom McCall Day. It seems an apt honor for a man many believe made this state a better place. McCall died in 1983; Hall was there for the celebration of his life. “Although the ceremonies were carried live on statewide television, I felt compelled to be there in person. McCall had insisted that the ceremony be

open to all on an equal basis… As McCall’s casket was carried from the chamber for the ﬁnal time while a choir sang “What the World Needs Now,” I cried.” And sitting there under the hot Las Vegas sun all these years later, I nearly did, too.

Stretch yourself with art talk Toledo sculptor Karen Fitzgibbon will be the guest speaker at the Thursday, May 7, lunch meeting of the Coastal Arts Guild in Newport. A self-taught artist, raised in an artistic family, Fitzgibbon learned at an early age to create in ﬁber arts, and later moved into fabric, sculpture, clay work and woodworking. “I feel part of being an artist and creating is learning new processes, which may or may not become an integral part of the on-going development,” she said. “This learning aspect is the work that calls to us, that keeps us involved and intrigued, along with keeping

us growing artists.” Now working mainly with polymer clay, Fitzgibbon creates multi-media, three dimensional soft sculpture ﬁgures ranging in size from 6 inches to more than 3 feet tall and ranging from whimsical to spiritual, tribal to exotic. An assortment of re-used and recycled materials is used in each piece. “Even though I mainly work with polymer clay, I will continue to explore other mediums, as they too may become a part of my work,” Fitzgibbon said. “It is embracing the new that I ﬁnd exciting, and not knowing where it may lead keeps things fresh for me.”

The May 7 lunch will run from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. It is open to anyone with an interest in the arts. For more information and an invitation to attend, call CAG member Linda Anderson at 541-265-5228 or Bobby Flewellyn at 541-563-8548. The Coastal Arts Guild welcomes new members. To learn more, call Carol Deslippe at 541-265-2624 or Mary Peterson at 541-574-8221.

Hailing a new literary talent Newport author Mark Kuykendall, better known as “Marcus the Taxi Driver,” will sign copies of his recently published collection of short stories at a Saturday, May 9, publishing party at Café Mundo. “The Housebroken Philosopher” is a chronology of the author’s often-misspent youth. After a foreword by Richard Kennedy, Kuykendall presents a series of richly told

vignettes, recalling unusual experiences with humor and wit. Having worked as a Newport taxi driver for 25 years, Kuykendall is known by many for his love of billiards, fly fishing and the large flower garden he maintains in Nye Beach. Fewer are aware of his unpublished work and lifelong love of beat and avant-garde poetry.

The May 9 book launch will run from 3 to 6 pm on Saturday, at 209 NW Coast Street, with Edward van Aelstyn and Ed Cameron on hand to read some of their favorite stories from the collection. The book is available at Cafe Mundo, Nye Cottage Beads and most Nye Beach bookstores for $ 9.95 or direct from Kuykendall at pupuwapu@gmail.com.

Things will get pretty seedy in Yachats on Friday, May 1, as One of Us Productions begins its three-week run of “Sordid Lives” with a fund-raiser dinner theater presentation at the Yachats Commons. The adult comedy by Del Shores was the ﬁrst show the theater company ever staged and has been brought back to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary. Directed by Carl Foster Miller, the play tells the story of a colorful, small town Texas family mourning the loss of

their mother — who died in a seedy motel room while in a tryst with her much younger, married neighbor. The play stars Carl Foster Miller, Dean Peterson, Grace Coxey, Tim Troutman, Dave Cowden, Patty Egan, Marcia Pickner, Johnni Prince, Sally Dalton and Olive Jule. Tickets for the May 1 dinner theater are $60 apiece and include the show, wine and a gourmet dinner created by an extraordinary local chef. Proceeds beneﬁt the Yachats Youth and Families Activity Program. Dinner

theater tickets are available by calling Alyce at 541-5474599. The Yachats Commons is located at 441 Hwy. 101 N. Regular theater seating begins Saturday, May 2, and runs through Sunday, May 17, with performances at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the door, Toad Hall, Yachats Video and Country Store, Touchstone Gallery and Waldport Video.

Join the chain gang Riders from across the Western states will saddle up for 24 miles of mud, gravel and slippery turns on Sunday, May 3, as the Coast Hills Classic Mountain Bike Race returns to Newport for its fourth year. The race is the revival of an event founded by a local high school teacher and a number of his students, including Ben Eder. Eder and his family kept the tradition alive for a number of years until a fateful day in 2001 when he died in a ﬁshing accident at the age of 21. Local volunteers now work alongside staﬀ from the Newport Parks and Recreation Department to breathe new life into this old race, formerly known as the Ben Eder Memorial. Mike Cavanaugh, sports

coordinator for Newport Parks and Recreation, said the race’s inclusion in the Oregon Oﬀ-Road Series and the OBRA Junior MTB Series will see competitors traveling from all over Oregon as well as California, Washington and Idaho. “Our race is sure to grow this year in participants!” he said. “This increase will make the event even more exciting for the racers and spectators.” The excitement begins at 9:30 am with the big line-up of competitors at the Oregon Coast Community College campus in Newport. While experts and pros will do a double run to make up their 24 miles, most of the adult racers will do one circuit of the 12-mile loop, which puts riders

through 1,600 feet of elevation gain on tracks that vary from muddy to gravel. Advance registration is $45, rising to $50 on race day. Meanwhile, young kids can practice their skills in a free race held on a ﬂat dirt area. For kids aged 8 to 12, there is also a timed “Grommet Race” on a modiﬁed, 5-mile section of race course. Entry to the “Grommet Race” costs $20 and prizes will be awarded. Proceeds from the event go towards the youth scholarship fund at Newport’s recreation center. To register, go to www. CoastHillsClassic.com. For more information, call Newport Parks and Recreation at 541-265-7783 or Bike Newport at 541-265-9917.

A jewel personality Quality and character earn The Bay House four diamonds from AAA

The Bay House owner and host Steve Wilson — at his post

When you own a restaurant, checking your email is always an adventure. Steve Wilson was doing just that recently, when he got some unexpected but very exciting news — AAA had awarded his restaurant a Four Diamond rating, making The Bay House one of only two Four Diamond restaurants in Oregon. (The Painted Lady in Newberg is the other. There are currently no Five Diamond properties in the state.) Four Diamonds is no mean feat. Of the roughly 30,000 restaurants that AAA rates, only about 2.3 percent are chosen. That’s less than 700 in the world. Wilson is understandably proud of the achievement. “The staﬀ scored extremely well in every category,” he said, adding with a laugh, “although, as host, I contributed the fewest number of points.” Wilson said that apparently when the undercover AAA inspector arrived, he wasn’t standing at the host stand. Fortunately, bartender Chase Golombek stepped forward to greet and welcome the arriving mystery diner. The reason Wilson wasn’t at his station is easily explained — when you dine at the restaurant you will see him constantly on the move, communicating with the kitchen and servers, chatting with guests both in the dining room and the lounge, and bussing tables. “I think it’s important to do what

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • may 1, 2015

you love,” he said. “Making sure guests are enjoying the food, the service, the hospitality, and the whole Bay House experience in this beautiful location just makes me really, really happy.” Wilson recognized the talent in Executive Chef Kevin Ryan early on. Ryan worked his way up in the kitchen beginning 11 years ago when he was a student at Taft High School in Lincoln City. “Since my arrival 10 years ago, Kevin has always been the hardest working culinary team member,” Wilson said. “It’s especially gratifying to see how he has learned and grown as a professional, becoming our Exec a little over three years ago. Where once he was the high school intern, he now coaches the high school culinary team, and we’re proud that our current intern, Jesse Pink recently won a scholarship as the ProStart Student of the Year. If that isn’t local and organic, than I don’t know what is!” Following The Bay House tradition of using fresh ingredients, never frozen, local and organic whenever possible, Chef Ryan adds unexpected touches to palate-pleasing effect. Like the duck confit, served nestled in a bed of carrot cardamom purée, the halibut topped with a fennel grapefruit salad and served with a parmesan polenta accented by a grilled fiddlehead, or the Piedmontese beef tenderloin, served with a Yorkshire pudding, which recently got the thumbs up from a guest from the United Kingdom. “He told me he wasn’t sure what to expect when he saw it on the menu

in an American restaurant,” said server, Peter Doerflinger. “But he was definitely impressed with it.” Main courses are all so enticing it might be difficult to choose, so the restaurant offers a tasting menu to give you the chance to try a few of them in smaller but still substantial portions. The menu consists of five courses, six if you count the amuse-bouche presented to each guest in the dining room. During a recent visit, my husband and I decided to place ourselves in Chef Ryan’s hands and go with the 5-Course Tasting Menu ($68) without reading the course descriptions. Each plate was a surprise, and a very pleasant one. We dispatched each course with relish, despite the fact that, having visited the restaurant before, I knew that I would not be able to resist a single bite of the dessert plate. When it came, we were both quite full, but one look at the platter that was placed in front of each of us, we know there would be no crumbs left. The dessert trio, as attractive as it is delicious, was a chocolate trifle, Earl Grey cheesecake and fresh house-made sorbet. Another element that may have influenced the AAA evaluator is the wine list, which is another source of pride for Wilson. “At this point, I believe that we still have the largest wine list in Oregon with over 2,100 selections,” Wilson said. “Though we do favor Oregon vintners, I’m pleased to present a solid foundation of Old World wines from Burgundy, Bordeaux and Italy as well. I’m equally delighted to have great options available in all price ranges, from $18 to $3,300 a bottle. Now, if you really want to see me get excited….!” In addition to making its name as a fine dining restaurant, The Bay House also features a lounge with comfortable seating for a less-formal dining experience that has become a local favorite. Nestled on the Siletz Bay, this gem of a restaurant is worth a visit and contends with restaurants around the globe, charming even a very choosy restaurant evaluator. Now if only Wilson can stay still… The Bay House is located at 5911 Southwest Highway 101 in Lincoln City, overlooking Siletz Bay. They are open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 pm, with dinner service starting at 5:30 pm. For more information, call 541-996-3222.

Food Chef Rob Pounding of Blackfish Café is roasting the salmon • TODAY photo

TODAY photo

for thought Cultural center serves up a little salmon special at Culture, of Course! While culture feeds our souls it does not keep the lights on, patch broken water pipes nor fill bellies. But the new Culture, Of Course! benefit dinner and auction will help do all three when guests take their seats at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, May 2. This four-course dinner, with wine tasting, silent auction and raffle will raise money to fund dayto-day operations at the center, a home for visual and performing arts inside the historic Delake School. “Launching an annual signature event is part of our three-year strategic plan,” said John Collier, president of the center’s board of directors. “As our nonprofit grows, our development strategy is diversifying, too. We hope to establish Culture, Of Course! as a successful annual event that raises money and highlights our great programs.” The event will begin at 6 pm with hors d’oeuvres by Chef Randy Nichol of Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, and selected wines by Erath Winery and Willamette Valley Vineyards. This opening act will take place at the south end of the center, in the dance studio and Margaret’s Meeting Room. Guests may choose a wine tasting ticket, with three pours and a commemorative wine glass, or purchase wine by the glass. The silent auction will open at 6 pm in the center’s Chessman Gallery, offering guests the chance to win a variety of entertainment, lodging and dining gift certificates, along with jewelry, clothing and garden art. The selection will include a signed, numbered lithography called “Three Dog Night,” a Pendleton woolen wrap and a quarter-ounce gold Krugerrand from South Africa.

At 6:45 pm, the action will move into the auditorium for the second course, a seasonal salad provided by Chef Brooke Price of the Side Door Café. The salad course will be accompanied by the drawing of the Culture, Of Course! 50/50 cash raffle. Tickets, $25 apiece, will be sold right up until the drawing, and the grand prize is half the gross receipts — anywhere between $1,000 and $6,000. Guests need not be present to win. Up next, the entrée: filet of salmon, roasted on a cedar plank by Chef Rob Pounding of the Blackfish Café. Weather permitting, Pounding will be roasting the salmon in an outdoor brazier, graciously loaned from the Salishan resort. Over dinner, guests will be asked to join the “paddle raise” to purchase special equipment for the center’s use. Dinner also features entertainment, jazz standards and folk favorites by the duo of Jim Kuoni and Ron Green. The fourth course will be dessert. Pastry Chef Michelle Robben of My Petite Sweet will prepare a platter of miniature desserts — fruit, chocolate, citrus — for each table. Guests can grab a cup of freshly roasted Cape Foulweather Coffee to enjoy with their sweets and the closing of the silent auction. Tickets for Culture, Of Course! are on sale now, with seating limited to 100. Dinner and entertainment tickets are $50 each, and wine tasting flights are $20 per person. Tickets for the 50/50 raffle are $25 each or five for $100. To purchase, call the center at 541-994-9994 or click the “Buy Tickets” button at www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org.

The center of attention

The Lincoln City Cultural Center was born in 1992, when a group of 75 residents created a coalition for arts and culture in Lincoln City. These artists and art-lovers formed a non-profit group called the Coastal Communities Cultural Center, known locally as the 4C’s. The group’s goal was to establish a single location, a common home for art classes, performing arts programs and cultural activities. In 1997, the 4C’s established its first home, a small gallery space at City Hall. The members offered classes and exhibits in this location, while planning and fund-raising for a larger, permanent center. This work came to fruition in 2006, when the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency purchased the historic Delake School and offered it to the 4C’s with a long-term lease. Since then, the non-profit has raised more than $1 million in donations and grants, and transformed the 1929 Delake School into a modern, comfortable and ADA-accessible community resource. Since 2007, it has been known as the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The center receives support from the Urban Renewal Agency through lease forgiveness and infrastructure project grants, and from the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau’s nonprofit event fund. All other operating funds come from donors, grants and program fees.

The bald and the beautiful Become a culture vulture at Pacific City’s Birding & Blues festival By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY Cover photo BY Michael “Mike” L. Baird, bairdphotos.com via creativecommons.org

The follicularly challenged might get excited by a hot topic at the 11th annual Birding and Blues Festival, but it’s lack of head feathers, not hair, that both keynote speaker Dr. Susan Haig and featured presenter Liz Burton will be talking about during the annual event, taking place this year from Friday, May 1, to Sunday, May 3, in Pacific City. “Why I Love Bald Guys,” is the tile of the talk on vultures by Burton, president of Badger Run Wildlife Rehab. “I’ll cover general vulture stuff,” she said, “Why they are important to our ecosystems, the threats against them, and what people can do to help. I try to educate the public about the importance of them working as our garbage collectors.” The talk will be Saturday at 3 pm On Friday from 5 to 6 pm, Burton and some of her staff will conduct a “meet and greet” with some of the birds rescued by the organization, including hawks, owls, and falcons. “Friday night is a family friendly event,” Burton said. “We’ll talk about the different species and what makes them really cool.” To help her campaign to improve humanvulture relations, participants will be able to meet Dexter, the turkey vulture. “They really are beautiful when you see them up close,” Burton said. “I try to teach people to love them, not fear them or hate them.” Keynote speaker Dr. Susan Haig is another fan of bald guys, in particular the critically endangered California condor. “When I first started learning about them I found out that there are some at the Oregon Zoo,” she said. “Then I learned about the reintroduction programs, and I got hooked.

The Fabulous Roof Shakers

These birds are so sociable and so incredibly interesting that it’s hard not to want them to come back to a place where they belong.” In her efforts to help bring this about, she wrote a book on the history of the California condor in the Pacific Northwest. “To convince the Fish and Wildlife Service that they should put an effort into bringing the birds back to this area, we had to prove to that they were here in the first place,” she said. “So my doctoral student and I spent a lot of time going through records to make sure we could show that condors did in fact exist here. Haig said the issue with condors, as with other scavenger species, is that one of their main causes of death is lead poisoning and hunters in Oregon are still using lead ammunition. The Oregon Zoo has hired a non-lead coordinator, and Oregon State also has an outreach program to educate hunters about lead-free ammunition. “This is not a campaign against hunting,” she said, “it’s about getting hunters to make the switch.” Haig’s talk will be Saturday from 1:30 to 2:45 pm. The second wing of the festival of course is music, and two bands will give the birders something to boogie to. Both bands hit the stage at 8 pm and go until 11 pm. Friday’s band is the T-Bones, and Saturday, the Fabulous Roof Shakers will be trying to knock a few shingles off the event venue, Pacific City’s Kiawanda Community Center. This will be the first Oregon performance for the Roof Shakers who formed in 2006.

“We’re a high energy dance band that plays a variety of musical genres,” said bass player and vocalist Bruce Koenigsburg. “We play the top clubs in the Seattle area and are all professional musicians from around the country.” For example, vocalist and harmonica player Joe Blue is from New York and has performed with John Lee Hooker, Marsha Ball and Steve Basset, and toured with the King Biscuit Blues Band. To learn more about the band, go to www.fabulousroofshakers.com. No Birding and Blues Festival would be complete without excursions; destinations this year include Two Rivers Peninsula, the newest addition to the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge; Clay Myers State Natural Area on Whalen Island; Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge; and the Neskowin Marsh. Most excursions are included in the festival pass but, for an additional $40, committed birders can join Friday’s Three Capes Tour — a 60-mile round trip with opportunities to see

up to 50 species. Two-hour guided tours of the Nestucca River and Estuary by kayak or stand-up paddleboard will be on oﬀer on both Saturday and Sunday, starting at 8 am. Bring your own vessel or rent one by contacting Nestucca Adventures at nestuccaadventures@gmail.com or 503-965-0060. Other events in the action packed weekend include seminars on nature photography, beginning birding and a talk on beaver ecology. Beginning birders (or seasoned ones) looking for a new guidebook will surely want to pick up “Must See Birds of the Paciﬁc Northwest,” after hearing authors Max Smith and Sarah Swanson talk about their experiences writing it. Presentations and music will be at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive. For a full list activities and schedule, go to www.birdingandblues.org.

Angling for awards at the fish taco cook-off Food fans will get the chance to celebrate Cinco de Mayo a few days early when the Culinary Center in Lincoln City holds its 7th Annual Fish Taco Cook Off on Saturday, May 2. The contest will see restaurants from around the region compete to serve up the best fish taco on the Oregon Coast, vying for the approval of professional judges as well as the voting public. Lincoln City’s Roadhouse 101 is a former 1st Place winner and manager Brandon Fowler said he is looking forward to participating again this year. “I am always up for a challenge,” he said. “Our fish tacos will be served cantina style, and include fresh cilantro, queso fresco, all in a flour tortilla.” Fowler said the ingredients in Roadhouse 101’s fish tacos make them stand out from the competition. “Our fish tacos are very authentic,” he said. “I have

been in the culinary business for over 25 years, and authentic quality ingredients are important to me and our restaurant.” But Fowler will be up against some stiﬀ competition in the form of serial cook-oﬀ

winners the Pelican Pub and Brewery from Paciﬁc City as well as Ethan Granberg and Danelle Lochrie of Lincoln City’s Hearth and Table. Lincoln City Mayor and restaurateur Don Williams will also be throwing his hat

into the ring. Guests will get to taste tacos from each restaurant and then vote for their favorite in the People’s Choice Award. Back by popular demand, Culinary Center Executive

Join the beat generation In both drumming and cardiology, there’s nothing quite so comforting as a regular rhythm. This explains why drum fans are welcoming the return of the Newport Community Drum Circle to its regular, twice-monthly summer schedule. Starting on Tuesday, May 5, the group will meet from 6 to 8 pm every ﬁrst and third Tuesday through September. The free, family-friendly drum circle meets year round in the glass enclosed gazebo at Newport’s Don Davis Park at the west end of Olive Street across from the Newport

Performing Arts Center. Celebrating its eighth birthday this year, the circle boasts some 700 members, attracting visitors from all over the Central Oregon Coast and around the world. All ages are welcome and no prior musical training or experience is required. There are always extra drums or other percussion instruments on hand to borrow. Coordinator Chandler Davis said the drum circles at the park usually attract two to three dozen people, with participants of all ages and from all walks of life. “The drum circle allows

people without musical training an opportunity to participate in music rather than just be spectators,” he said, “and it builds a sense of community by breaking down artiﬁcial barriers.” While some members of the drum circle perform regularly at local community events, fundraisers, festivals and other venues, Davis said the emphasis at the regular drum circles at the park is always on cooperation and listening rather than on any kind of musical purity. The drum circle’s motto is: “In life and in music,

everyone has something to contribute to the groove.” Davis facilitates the drumming and helps the drummers create group improvisations based on traditional song rhythms from West Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and other cultures. Solo improvising and “grandstanding” are discouraged. Alcohol, smoking and other drug use are prohibited by both drum circle rules and city ordinances. For more information, contact Davis at chandler@ chandlerdavis.com or 541272-4615.

Everyone knows the Oregon Coast Aquarium is the go-to location on the Central Oregon Coast for fish, sharks and other saltwater dwellers. But the aquarium’s dedication to celebrating the natural world does not end at the shoreline. On Saturday, May 2, the aquarium will mark Oregon Native Plant Awareness Week with a free guided walk through its naturescaped grounds. The aquarium was a pioneer in the practice of naturescaping. The facility was built upon an abandoned industrial landscape that used to be home to the Triangle Pacific sawmill. Nearly two dozen years later, this carefully cultivated wildness is so well restored that the grounds are certified as Wildlife Habitat

by the National Wildlife Federation. Naturalist, gardener and mycologist Bruce Waugh will team up with Anita Albrecht, the aquarium’s head groundskeeper, to lead this wander through the wooded and marshy landscapes that surround the aquarium. Discussions will focus on identifying plants native to Oregon’s Central Coast. The walk will start at 10:30 am at the aquarium, 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport, and is open to participants of all ages and levels of expertise. Those who wish to learn more about the naturescaping process, and do not mind getting their ﬁngers dirty, should contact volunteer@aquarium.org to learn about volunteer opportunities.

Sharing mussel memories in Newport The little-known world of freshwater mussels will be illuminated on Thursday, May 7, when ODFW biologist Shelly Miller shares her expertise at a meeting of the MidCoast Watersheds Council in Newport. Miller, a member and former chair of the Pacific Northwest Native Freshwater Mussel workgroup, has an interest in mussels that goes back 20 years, to her first job as a biologist with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Her 20-year career in biology has taken her from West Virginia to Illinois, back to East Virginia and finally, about 10 years ago, to Oregon. She earned a bachelor of science in biology from the College of William and Mary and a masters of science in

Ecology and Evolution from the University of Pittsburg. She currently works with Chinook salmon, but loves to share her enthusiasm for mussels with everyone who is interested.

“Freshwater mussels are an indicator of stream health for two reasons,” she said. “They are highly sensitive to pollutants and they depend on ﬁsh as their hosts for dispersal. Living to be up

to 100 years old, they are used in many monitoring programs as ‘bio-monitors.’” By analyzing the physical and chemical variations in the shells of freshwater mussels, scientists can assess the cumulative eﬀects of environmental conditions over time, similar to the way a tree’s rings record information. In addition, the mussels can aid in the monitoring of contaminants such as mercury, lead, dioxin, poly chlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Miller’s free presentation will begin at 6:30 pm in the public meeting room of the Central Lincoln PUD building located at 2129 N Coast Highway. Refreshments will be served.

“View in the Stanford Gardens” by Michael Gibbons

Wild away some time… … with a stroll through Toledo’s First Weekend art show

ntamed nature will be the star of the show this Saturday and Sunday in Toledo as artists throughout town display works inspired by the theme “Wild Garden” at the latest First Weekend art event. The “Wild Garden” theme was the choice of featured artist Michael Gibbons, who paints regularly in gardens, both wild and tame. Gibbons, a renowned oil painter and longtime Toledo resident, will be displaying works including “View in Stanford Gardens,” which he painted ala prima (outdoors on site) in Mendocino over the course of three hours as the sun slowly descended. With a golden glow bathing the entire area, soft lines and rich colors including the

house used as an architectural feature make up this typical “Gibbons” landscape scene. “I tried to capture the heavy, warm atmosphere of the afternoon,” he said, “typiﬁed by the haze of coastal sea air that Mendocino is so famous for.” The gardens in the Inn were originally formed years ago when Japanese workers developed truck gardens in order to sell produce to the townspeople. The Stanford Inn owners have continued the growing process by planting ﬂowers and vegetables that are used daily in their vegan restaurant. Located at 140 NE Alder Street, Gallery Michael Gibbons will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday, May 2, and noon to 5 pm on Sunday, May 3. Guest are welcome to drop by for art talk accompanied by complimentary Oregon wine and cheese.

“Drops of Mist” by Angela Lehrbass

“Ocean March” by Ivan Kelly

At 1 pm each day, Gibbons will give an informal talk about his experiences painting en plein air, including his encounters with two bears. Elsewhere in town, Impressions Paciﬁc will be showing new original art, including “Drops in the Mist” — a signed photograph by

co-owner Angela Lehrbass. The gallery also features pottery, glass, ﬁne woodcraft and original oil paintings from local artists. Co-owner and master woodturner Rodney Lehrbass will be performing woodturning demonstrations all weekend, and refreshments will be on oﬀer. Located at 333 N. Main Street,

the gallery will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday. The doors will also be open at Ivan Kelly Fine Art Studio, located at 207 East Graham Street. Kelly will be displaying new, on-location coastal and landscape oil paintings including “Ocean Marsh,” a scenic 12-by-

Three Oregon Coast artists will be displaying their talents at the latest Spotlight Show, opening on Saturday, May 2, at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery. Retired teacher Bob Beyer has been taking classes through the association since moving to Newport from Kansas five years ago. Fellow association members call him the “Skeleton Man” on account of his watercolor paintings of skeletons dancing, playing basketball, playing the piano and more. His artwork is somewhat impressionistic and he has also been known to create the occasional abstract piece. Meanwhile, fellow retiree Judy Far will also be sharing some of her watercolors. After moving to Oregon from the Midwest, Far has found her artistic expression influenced by the beauty, peace and history of the Pacific Northwest. Maintaining her passion for preserving Midwest farmland memories, Oregon beaches and farms have become a new landscape of interest for this evolving watercolorist.
