his week’s focus on farmers markets allowed me to kill two birds with one stone. It’s not every day that I get the chance to do my grocery shopping at the same time as gathering material for a feature.

But I got more than just notes and veggies on my visits to the farmers markets in Newport and Lincoln City. I got some stories, too. Take our wonderful front-page model for example. I honed in on Diana Polisensky as soon as I saw her wonderfully photogenic basket ďŹ lled with equally photogenic greens. After we got chatting, I detected an accent I couldn’t place and asked where she was from. Maybe England, I thought. Perhaps Australia. Not quite. Turns out Polisensky was born and raised in Southern Rhodesia, the former British colony that went on to become the country of Zimbabwe. Now living in Gleneden Beach, she writes about her time in Africa at www.oncecalledhome.com. Just a little earlier, I had been left utterly speechless by the lovely lady at the lemonade stand who told me with great pride that she had once pushed a sixpence all the way along the main street of my hometown of Aberdeen, Scotland, while wearing nothing but a pair of old ladies bloomers. Union Street must be at least a mile long, meaning — bloomers or no — that’s quite the achievement. With so many fascinating people to meet on the Oregon Coast, my only sadness is that there are only so many hours in the day to get to know everyone who calls this wonderful place home. Sometimes, I wish I could clone myself so that one of me could be out and about while the other stays in the oďŹƒce

and types up the tide tables. So far, the cloning results have been disappointing; but I am thrilled to announce that we have gone one better, with Greg Robertson coming on board to handle sales and marketing at the TODAY. A true people person, Greg will be wearing ruts into the asphalt on Highway 101 as he calls at businesses from Yachats to Manzanita, helping them get their message across to locals and visitors alike through the TODAY’s pages. Having worked with Greg for many years at The News Guard, I have seen ďŹ rsthand his excellent customer service skills, keen eye for data analysis and impressive commitment to the consumption of black coee. He has found his natural home here at TODAY Towers. So, if you have an advertising question, call Greg at 541-992-1920. If, on the other hand, you have a funny story about bloomers, call me at 541-921-0413. I’m all ears.

coast culture The Dorchester House
Nice pace you got here... Some people like to take tours at a fast clip, charging ahead of the group; while others take their time — pausing to read every scrap of information on every panel along the way. Lincoln City’s new self-guided Heritage Tour is the perfect solution for both, allowing folks to go at their own pace as they visit 14 stops that reveal the rich history of the region and its people. The tour and the guide book that goes along with it were created by Anne Hall, curator of North Lincoln County Historical Museum in partnership with the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau. The guide contains both recent and historic photographs of locations like the Dorchester House, site of the first Republican issue conference in Oregon; the D River, arguably the shortest river in the world; and the Connie Hansen Garden, gift of horticultural artist Constance P. Hansen and open free to the public.
The Lakeview movie theater, now the Bijou
The guide is available from the museum, located at 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and open from noon to 5 pm Wednesday through Sunday, except major holidays. Admission is free, so take the time to guide yourself around the museum, too. The guide is also available online at www. oregoncoast.org/heritage-culture. For more information, go to www. northlincolncountyhistoricalmuseum.org or call 541-996-6614.
Cook up something on the fly Quick-thinking kitchen maestros are being invited to take part in the Coast to Cascades Cook-Off, a contest that will take place at the Town and Country Fair in Newport this July. Presented in partnership with the Lincoln County Foods Group, the contest will see each participant provided with two locally sourced, mystery ingredients in the run up to the cook off. Participants can choose to use one or both ingredients in their final dish. The entries will be judged on the main stage of the Town and Country Fair at 1 pm, Saturday, July 12. Entries should be delivered at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds no later than 11:30 am that day. Prizes will be awarded in both youth and adult categories for winners and runners-up. Participants must pre-register by 5 pm on Friday, June 27, by emailing info@ townandcountry.com. The email should include their name, address, phone number and which category they wish to enter. Pre-registered participants can then pick up their mystery Ingredients from the Lincoln County Fair office at 633 NE 3rd Street, Newport, from noon to 7 pm on Tuesday, July 8. For more information, call 541-574-6534.

Students and staff from schools along the Central Coast will celebrate publishing success at a pair of launch parties this week in Lincoln City and Newport. On Friday, May 30, Oregon Coast Community College will launch this year’s publishing book, “Waves,” which highlights artwork and creative writing by students and college staff. This year’s edition features work from more than 100 contributors and is edited by Hallie Price who works in the Student Services Department. Dr. Catherine (Kitty) Pavlish, who started the literary journal more than 10 years ago and acts as advisor to the publication, said she is very happy with this year’s crop of writing. “I’m always so amazed at the level of talent shown by the submissions,” she said, “and this year is no exception,” The 210-page book costs $13 and will be available to buy at Friday’s publication party at the college’s Newport campus. The public is invited to hear contributors share their works during the party, which will run from 5:30 to 8:30 pm in the community room at the college, 400 SE College Way. For more information about the college, call student services at 541-265-2283.
“Seeds, Sand, Storms” On Wednesday, June 4, the action will shift to the Lincoln City Cultural Center, where students from Taft High 7-12 will be revealing the answers to some probing questions they have been asking as members of the CIA. That’s the Creative Inspiration Agents, a seventhand eighth-grade writing club that set about answering questions like “What defines life on the Oregon Coast?”
and “What is it like to grow up here?” The result is a literary review entitled “Seeds, Sand, Storms: Our Journey on the Oregon Coast,” which will be unveiled at Wednesday’s launch party, accompanied by music from the Taft 7-12 Jazz Band and refreshments prepared by the school’s culinary students. The party begins at 6:30 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Admission is free and copies of the review will be on sale for $5. “Seeds, Sand, Storms: Our Journey on the Oregon Coast” is a culmination of a yearlong effort led by teacher and author Matt Love. Students took multiple field trips around the Lincoln City area and participated in a series of writing workshops held during the Friday School enrichment periods. The review contains the best writing from the workshops and is arranged thematically on topics such as rain, gardens, forts, paths, walking and love. “I was incredibly impressed with the writing from the CIA,” Love said. “They certainly weren’t afraid to express themselves and offered some fresh perspectives on what it means to grow up at the coast.” Taft 7-12 Principal Majalise Tolan was instrumental in setting up the club and encouraging the field trips. “Watching students grow as writers, explorers, and now published authors, has been incredible,” she said. “Being in their workshops and learning from them has been inspiring for our building and community.” This literary effort is part of the Lincoln County Ocean Education Initiative known as “Devocean,” a campaign using traditional and new media to showcase the many extraordinary happenings related to ocean education in the school district.
Get fortified Further fruits of the Devocean project are available in the latest edition of Newport High School’s monthly magazine, the Harbor Light, featuring many literary musings on the subject of forts. “Fortitude,” a special 20-page edition of the magazine is available around Lincoln County and other outlets along the North Oregon Coast all the way to Astoria. “We build forts to protect ourselves, to shelter us from weather, enemies and danger,” wrote high school junior Elena Ellingson-Cosenza. “Once the gate has closed, the fort should be impenetrable. Everyone is safe. That is the magic from forts.” Ellingson-Cosenza’s essay, “A Mental Fort” is one of the many reminiscences, mini memoirs and poems included in the magazine and inspired by the word “fort” and its many interesting derivations. The issue also contains photographs documenting the magazine staff’s fort-building field trip to Fort Stevens State Park in Hammond on a rainy day in March. Junior Kimberly Crowley designed the entire issue. “The beauty of the special issue is the opportunity to have true creative freedom,” Crowley said. “It challenged me, being solely responsible for the design, but I still found it to be incredibly fun and fulfilling.” “Fortitude”
Teacher Sam Murphy, who is the Harbor Light advisor, came up with the title for the publication. “We were excited to highlight this particular aspect, the building of driftwood forts, of coastal living,” she said. “I’m very proud of the work that the students did for ‘Fortitude.’”

A tour that leaves on time
The only thing more satisfying than taking part in the SOLVE Annual Beach and Riverside Cleanup is organizing part of the cleanup yourself. SOLVE is now accepting applications from volunteers interested in organizing community projects in support of this year’s cleanup, which will take place from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday, Sept. 27. Since 1984, more than 110,000 Beach and Riverside Cleanup volunteers have removed 1.4 million pounds of litter from Oregon’s beaches and waterways. This year’s event marks the 30th anniversary of the cleanup and coincides with National Public Lands Day and the International Coastal Cleanup. Volunteer leaders will be provided with free project planning assistance and training, event flyers and pre-event publicity, online volunteer registration and cleanup project supplies. SOLVE also has a limited number of small grants of up to $100 for reimbursement of qualifying project expenses. To apply, go to solveoregon.org or call SOLVE at 503-844-9571 x317 or 1-800-333-SOLV. The deadline for applications is Friday, June 27.
People interested in seeing what a wellmanaged forestry operation looks like are invited to take part in a tour of Peter and Alice Bregman’s tree farm near Waldport on Saturday, June 14. The couple were recently chosen as Tree Farmers of the Year for Lincoln County by the Oregon Tree Farm System, an honor that allows them to go on and compete for recognition at the state and potentially the national level. On the tour, Peter Bregman will discuss his management objectives, including stream protection, reforestation, living with wildlife, a firewood business and more. The tour is free but participants must register by Friday, June 6. Refreshments and lunch will be served. Coffee and donuts will be ready by 8:15 am for early arrivals. The tour will start at 9 am and should wrap up after lunch by 1:30 pm. To register, call the Oregon State University Lincoln County Extension Service office at 541574-6534.
Put a spring in your step The Yachats-based Coastal Gems walking club will celebrate the full bloom of spring with a walk that passes through the Gerdemann Gardens in Yachats on Tuesday, June 3. This 10K walk is rated 1b for some natural trails and some short gentle slopes and is not appropriate for strollers or wheelchairs. The group will meet at 8:45 am at the Overleaf Lodge, 2055 Hwy. 101, Yachats. The Gems walk in any weather, so come prepared. As always, leashed pets are welcome, but are not allowed in the gardens themselves. An alternative route is provided. Owners should be sure to carry water, cleanup materials and a 6-foot leash For more information or directions, call Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721, Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541-961-4279 or go to www.yachatscoastalgems.org.
Welcome to Miami Before you start packing your beach blanket and Speedos, we should point out the Miami River that the Nature Conservancy is looking for some help cleaning up is not the waterway that runs through the gem in the crown of the Sunshine State. No, this Miami River runs into Tillamook Bay and the recommended kit for volunteers is more along the lines of hiking boots, rain gear, leather gloves and eye protection. The Nature Conservancy is looking for people to help remove invasive yellow flag iris and manage Canada thistle on the wetlands around the river in a work party scheduled for Saturday, June 7. The restored wetlands will benefit northern red-legged frog, chum salmon, peregrine falcon and other at-risk wildlife. The site is flat but workers will be walking on uneven ground through tall, dense grass. Participants should bring a daypack, lunch and snacks for the day, one or two full water bottles, layers of clothing, a hat and sunscreen. Some gloves and safety glasses are available for volunteers to borrow. Registration is required. For more information or to register, call 503-8028100 or email orvolunteers@tnc.org.
Fancy a coffee with that view? It would be hard to find anyone who would argue with a straight face that the views from Cape Perpetua are not worth five bucks. That’s the fee that the Siuslaw National Forest charges for day use of its facilities, including the parking lot that gives access to those breathtaking cape views. But if the price of a large latte is keeping you from experiencing the joys that Siuslaw National Forest has to offer then the federal government has a deal for you. In recognition of National Trails Day on Saturday, June 7, and National Get Outdoors Day on Saturday, June 14, the US Forest Service is waiving the day-use fees at recreation sites in Oregon and Washington. Offering free access on National Trails Day is aimed at encouraging people to hike on their national forest trails; and to volunteer to help keep them maintained. For volunteer opportunities, go to www. americanhiking.org/ntd-events.

F
or many people, the Yellow Brick Road stops dead when the Wicked Witch of the West melts away and Dorothy makes her way back home to Kansas. But author L. Frank Baum was far from finished with his magical kingdom, as the Pacific Dance Ensemble will show
Camille Follett as a Tottenhot
when they take to the stage this weekend to perform “The Patchwork Girl of Oz” at the Newport Performing Arts Center. An original adaptation by ensemble director Nancy Mittleman, the show is based on L. Frank Baum’s seventh novel in the Oz series — a novel that would never have been written were it not for bankruptcy and a fan letter sent by a young reader. Baum had stopped writing his Oz series in 1910 in order to focus on other fantasy stories. He even went so far as to end the sixth book “The Emerald City of Oz,” by sealing Oz off from the rest of the world with a wall of invisibility.
But Baum’s new works, “The Sea Fairies” and “Sky Island,” were much less successful and bankruptcy forced Baum to consider writing about Oz again. One of his child fans wrote to him, suggesting he find a way to get through the invisible wall. In an ingenious stroke of invention, Baum had Glinda the White Witch erect a telegraph tower in Oz, allowing him to receive work of the kingdom through Morse Code. “The Patchwork Girl of Oz,” published in 1913, was the first of these new adventures and was met with tremendous success. The character of the Patchwork Girl became very popular and a source of comic relief throughout Baum’s Oz series, which went on to include a total of 14 books. Mittleman’s adaptation of the work tells the story of a little Munchkin girl named Ojo on her quest to save her Unk Nunkie, who has accidentally been turned to stone. She is joined by Scraps, a patchwork doll who has been brought to life, as well as Oz favorites including Dorothy, the Scarecrow and Toto.

Putting the fun in funeral The Riverbend Players will again be taking audiences back in time to an era of mobsters, molls and speakeasies this weekend as they continue a three-week run of “Funeral for a Gangster,” a dinner theater show at Tsunami Restaurant in Wheeler. The year is 1928; the place, Ruby’s Speak Easy; the occasion — a funeral service for Vito “The Gut” Marzetti who has been gunned down in a gangland slaying. A colorful guest list includes Frankie
“Marbles” Marzetti, played by Greg O’Neill; Ruby “Fingers” Marzetti, played by Linda Olsson; Joey “The Lump” Marzetti, played by Brian McMahon; Lena “The Grieving Widow” Marzetti, played by Betsy McMahon; and Federal Agent Farmer, played by Mike Scott. As the service gets underway, audience members will find themselves presented with a gangland mystery to solve and no shortage of suspects. Written by Eileen Moushey, directed
by Ted Weissbach and hosted by Linda Makohon, this Riverbend Players production promises clever dialogue and hilarious comedy antics. The run will continue through Saturday, June 7, with performances at 7 pm each Friday and Saturday night at the restaurant, located at 380 Marine Drive. Tickets, $25 in advance and $30 at the door, include lasagna, garlic bread, salad and dessert, and are available by calling 503-368-3778.

A man with vessels in his blood Fishing vessel historian, author and artist James A. Cole will appear at Newport’s PaciďŹ c Maritime and Heritage Center on Sunday, June 1, to share the story behind his recently published pictorial history of Northwest ďŹ shing vessels. “Drawing on Our History: Fishing Vessels of the PaciďŹ c Northwest and Alaskaâ€? boasts 208 lavishly illustrated pages, documenting everything from Native American carved cedar canoes to today’s commercial vessels. A selection of original paintings from the book will be on display. Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Cole grew up hearing his uncle’s sea stories. His uncle who had sailed the world and was part owner of a Scottish steam trawler, illustrated his stories with
pencil sketches. After graduating from the University of Washington and serving in the Coast Guard during the Korean War, Cole was a marine designer at Philip F. Spaulding & Associates, Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in Seattle. In his 56-year career, he has been employed at
the oďŹƒces of four naval architecture ďŹ rms and in the engineering departments of four Puget Sound area shipyards. The June 1 talk will begin at 5 pm at the center, 333 SE Bay Blvd. Admission is free for members, and $5 for non-members. For more information, call 541-2657509.
Something’s brewing in Lincoln City Guitarist and composer Michael DeLalla will bring more than two decades of experience to the stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, June 5, serving up a delicious brew of traditional inuences from around the world. Beginning in the ’80s as the driving force behind Philo/ Fretless recording artists Oxymora, DeLalla has forged a distinguished and storied career on stage and studio. His uency on classical, 12-string, and steelstring acoustic guitar and memorable performances showcase gifted improvisation and dazzling technical facility.
10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • may 30, 2014
DeLalla’s music is infused with inuences ranging from jazz, Celtic and folk traditions worldwide, tempered with his classical training. Sprinkled among the music are his wry, sometimes irreverent observations of the experiences that are behind the pieces. The result is not just a collection of instrumental works, but also a narrative of his travels and travails found in his varied musical habitats. The June 5 concert will begin at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $11 in advance or $13 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994.

auditorium, sets up outside from May to September. “It’s so nice to come outside on to the lawn,” said market president Megan Gill. “It brings out more of the locals and also all the new faces.” And there are plenty of new faces staffing the booths, too; with the market growing from 67 vendors last year to 81 this summer. Creating the space for all those extra booths meant setting up a new food court area on the center’s side lawn where vendors serve up everything from coffee and cookies to hot dogs and crêpes. “We wanted to have a safe area for people to sit and enjoy food, enjoy music and enjoy each other,” Gill said, “as opposed to the parking lot.” While they eat, food court visitors can take in live music from artists including Fred Wells, with acoustic blues; the acoustic folk of Fred Bassett and Sonya Kuzen; and the Native American-style flutes and low Irish whistles of Mark Beckwith.

from 9 am to 3 pm, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Meanwhile, in Newport, another set of vendors has emerged from a winter spent under cover to set up beside Newport City Hall. Newport Farmers Market vice president Katie McNeil said longtime favorites including Walker Farms, Bead Chicas, Rainforest Mushrooms and her own Pacific Sourdough are joined by plenty of new vendors, selling everything from fresh produce to obsidian knives and didgeridoos. Visitors can pick up organic limosin beef; artisan cheese from cow and goat milk; and fresh produce from several farms, including Sitka Spring, located just four miles from the market. “You can’t get any more local than that,” McNeil said, adding that the balance between fresh produce and craft items is key to the market’s broad appeal. “If you live here, you won’t buy a bird table or a wind chime every week but you are going to buy your produce every week,” she said. “And if you are traveling through in an

The Newport Marathon offers scenery so beautiful, you won’t want to rush
T
By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
here is a common joke that people who don’t like to run make that we runners have heard at least as many times as there are miles in a marathon. It goes a little something like this: “Sure, I like to run… if there’s a bear chasing me.” Badum-bum. Fortunately, on Saturday, May 31, all the smart bears will be hiding in the mountains, when thousands, including 1,250 registered runners, descend on the coast for the 16th Newport Marathon.
Lacking the need for ursine encouragement, there are many things that get people through 26.2 miles, but some are particular to the Newport Marathon. Here are some reasons why this relatively small event draws people from all over the world, and which cause it to sell out every year long before the cutoff date.

The course Including a “haunted” lighthouse; a historic shopping village; a state park with an ocean view; and a working waterfront, the bulk of the course goes along a bay that changes with the tides, affording a constantly changing view to those who have time to enjoy it. Some racers will be going too fast, though, since this “fast and flat course” is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. “About 30 percent of the people who run this race come to get a qualifying time for Boston,” said race director Tom Swinford. “Every year, about 20 percent of our participants do.” New this year is a half marathon option, which will have most of the same the sights as the longer course, just a shorter amount of time along the bay.

running into artfully formed glass, usually in the form of a float, vase or some kind of sea creature. Each year, the Edge Gallery in South Beach makes the medals for the Newport Marathon — awards that are among the most sought after in the running world. Most recently, the 2012 medal was voted 3rd most popular in the May/June 2013 issue of Marathon and Beyond Magazine.
The cause The marathon is put on by the Newport High School Boosters, a group of dedicated adults who work to support the school’s sports programs; and proceeds from the marathon go almost exclusively to supporting that cause. “We have a lot of coaches for our track and field teams
compared to other schools,” said Swinford, who is one of those coaches. “It’s amazing. The money comes from other fund-raisers too, but the marathon is the number one fund-raising event.” Although the bulk of the funding goes toward the track and field programs; soccer, basketball, swimming, equestrian and even the golf team can benefit from the money people pay to run 26.2 miles.
marathons provide frequent aid stations, this course also just happens to run right past the Yaquina Bay Oyster Company, which generously donates as many oysters as a runner can consume. According to Swinford, the current record is 101. “I don’t know if anyone is going to break that,” he said. “That’s an amazing amount of oysters. You should have seen his teeth when he came in.”
The aid
The finish
The school teams don’t just get handed money, they have to work for it. Each team that manages an aid station (they can also help at the finish line or with set up or tear down) during the race gets funds. This year it will be about $900 each, to use for equipment, uniforms or other things they need. “That’s a lot of cars they don’t have to wash,” Swinford said. This motivated pool of helpers means runners will get their water and fuel needs met as frequently as every two miles, which, if you’ve never run a marathon, is a lot. While plenty of other
Rogue Brewery will be providing adult beverages. Enough said. Spectators are more than welcome at the marathon. Although the Bay Road will be closed during the bulk of the event, shuttle buses will take spectators along the course. Loud cheering is required. The race begins on Saturday morning at Yaquina Bay State Park at 7 am. The finish line is on Bay Blvd. in front of the Embarcadero Resort.

Pacific Dance Ensemble Presents
The Lincoln City Cultural Center will welcome a trio of guitar virtuosos to the stage on Saturday, May 31, with Paul Chasman and Terry Robb on acoustic guitar joined by Albert Reda on bass for an evening of blues. Chasman’s musical career has spanned nearly 40 years. He came to Portland in 1969, where he played in a number of blues and bluegrass bands, most notably the Heavy Gauge String Band. As well as playing, Chasman has composed music for the guitar — melding jazz, classical and folk idioms into his own unique style. His system for harmonics, cascading, belllike tones, won praise from Guitar Player Magazine, which called him “one of the most deft harmonics practitioners” and his technique “simply astounding.” Beginning in 1998, Chasman spent a particularly productive decade on the Oregon Coast where he composed music for guitar and cello, resulting in three albums: “Sonatas No. 1 and 2,” “Songs from the Bay,” and “I Hope.” Chasman also helped found the Acoustic Guitar Summit featuring himself, Terry Robb, Mark Hanson and Doug Smith. During Chasman’s nine-year association with the Summit, they played for packed auditoriums in Oregon, Washington and California; were featured several times on NPR; and recorded two highly acclaimed albums. Meanwhile, Terry Robb — multiple winner of the Cascade Blues Association’s Muddy Award — is one of the most heralded players of the flourishing Pacific Northwest blues scene. “Resting Place,” his debut album with Yellow Dog Records, features covers chosen to complement Robb’s originals, echoing a broad swath of roots legends such as Merle Travis, Joe Callicott, Reverend Gary Davis, Lightning Hopkins and John Fahey.

Terry Robb
As a member of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and Cascade Blues Association Hall of Fame, Robb is an icon of the Pacific Northwest music scene. In 2011, after he won the Muddy award for best acoustic guitar for an unprecedented 19th consecutive year, the Cascade Blues Association honored him by creating the Terry Robb Acoustic Guitar Muddy Award, which is bestowed annually on a Northwest guitarist. Rounding out the trio on bass, Albert Reda has been honored by the Cascade Blues Association with 11 Muddy awards including one for best bass player. He was recently inducted into the association’s Muddy Award Hall of Fame. He has performed nationally with many artists and notably at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival with Honeyboy Edwards. The May 31 gig will start at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $13 in advance and $15 are available by calling 541-994-9994.

Manzanita’s Hoffman Center will welcome Astoria singer-songwriter Daric Moore for an evening of original solo guitar and voice on Friday, May 30. Moore was drummer and singer in the band Revolution I from 1985 to 1995. The band recorded one album, “Revoloceans,” and played around Portland. He also recorded a solo

album, “No Design,” in 1995, plus an album of experimental songs with friends in 2000. Now, Moore is in the process of recording an album with full instrumentation to showcase his style, which is best described as Indie rock. His music has been called “upbeat, emotional (some would say intense), lyrically strong and full of feeling.”
The May 30 gig will start at 8 pm at the center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $10.

ertainly the welcome home given the F/V Seeker earlier this spring ranks as one of the warmest any fishing vessel has received here in recent years. People lined the jetty, fanned out across the Yaquina Bay Bridge; they held signs and snapped photos as the U.S. Coast Guard escorted the Seeker home. Mostly, the crowd of about 100 was quiet in those somber moments, though there were a few cheers as well. Regardless of how they voiced it, or didn’t, everyone understood what a dark, dark day it was for the crew that could not bring home one of their own. Eric Eder, 43, died in March after slipping from the vessel into the Bering Sea. He left behind his wife, Adrienne, and two sons, 5-year-old Oliver and Bennett, born only weeks before Eder died. I can’t say what drove me to join everyone at the jetty that day. I didn’t know Eric or any of his family. Not even his friends for that matter. But having suffered the loss of so many of my own recently, including my only brother, I understand the comfort even strangers can bring. I wrote a little about that recently and a funny thing happened. Shelly Heim, a woman I’d never met, reached out to thank me for the comforting words. Shelly, it turned out, is Eric’s sister. Shelly and Adrienne weren’t at the jetty that day. “We didn’t want to be there,” Heim said. “Eric’s homecomings were always happy, happy times. It would have been too hard to see that without Eric.” But they didn’t have to be there to know the outpouring of support coming their way. Shortly after news of Eric’s death was made
public, someone started a GoFundMe account. The goal was $5,000, but within days it exceeded $45,000. When it was decided for practical reasons that Eric’s memorial would not be held here on the coast, but in Redmond where the Eders lived, Heim said she would be grateful if even 100 mourners showed. There were 450. And last week, when yet another fundraiser was held at the Elks in Newport, more than 300 people passed through those doors to bid on vacations, seafood, art, food baskets, designer clothes, gift certificates, water park passes — all donated. Trident Fisheries in Alaska offered fishing crews the opportunity to donate a percentage of their pay, which they agreed to match two to one. The Newport Fishermen’s Wives donated time, money, helped arrange the fundraiser, picked up donations and even wrote thank you notes. And all to build a trust fund for Eder’s boys. It is not the first time, Heim has witnessed the generosity of our community. In 1985, when her father died of melanoma at only 38 years old, the family was still new to the community. “Our family doctor who diagnosed my dad and told us he was terminal would bring us groceries every night,” Heim recalled. “The people that came forward to help my mom … it was unbelievable to all of us. I don’t know how we could have gotten through that without the community support. Eric was only 14, but the men who stepped into his life helped him become the man he was.” The man Eric became was a kind man, a man who loved the sea, who liked to dress up and who never had a bad word for anyone. A man who,

after Heim posted a request on Facebook for fond memories, drew 150 comments in 10 minutes. Eric is gone and the pain of that loss will is something his loved ones will carry with them all of their days. But they will carry with them too the kindness of both friends and strangers, the knowledge that the man they loved brought out the best in so many of us. “People want to honor Eric,” Heim said. “It is a beautiful thing. There is nothing I could say that could express how grateful I am. My brother and I were very close. But I never knew how many people he touched and how many people loved him, respected him. Eric was such a quiet and humble guy. To just have this outpouring come back to our family, it is just a reflection of who he was.” Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years. She lives in Newport, where she freelances for a number of regional and national publications, as well as the occasional post for her blog loritobias.com.

Barrel into Newport
With more than 700 people already signed up from as far afield as Hawaii, Michigan and even Mexico, there is still time to register for this year’s Barrel to Keg Relay from Philomath to Newport. A fund-raiser for Community Services Consortium, the July 12 race sees runners and walkers make their way from Harris Bridge Vineyard in Philomath (the Barrel) to Rogue Ales Brewery in Newport’s South Beach (the Keg). The route winds through the beautiful backcountry of the Oregon Coast Range, before
reaching the coast and crossing the scenic Yaquina Bay Bridge to the brewery, where carousing and live music await at the finish line party. Money raised from the event helps people in Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties keep the lights on, put a roof over their heads and put food on the table. Runners and walkers can form teams of up to seven people and can register online at www.barreltokeg. com. Special prizes are on offer for teams with the most creative names, costumes and best-dressed vehicles, as well
as those that raise the most money. And you don’t have to run or walk to participate — anyone interested in being a race official or event volunteer should contact Dee Teem at dteem@communityservices.us or call 541-574-2277. For more information, find the race on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ BTK.relay or go to www. barreltokeg.com. Sponsorship opportunities are also still available. Go to http://communityservices.us and follow the links for Barrel to Keg.

Photographers are bursting with tips Making photos that pop is the topic of a Monday, June 2, presentation from the Yaquina Art Association Photographers, where three experts will share their knowhow in taking and improving images. Newport photographer Carl Baker will give examples of how he increased the impact of several of his photographs, showing how subtle adjustments to contrast, lighting, micro-contrast and saturation can make a photograph grab the eye. Baker started taking photos in high school but did not get serious until digital photography became aordable in the early 2000s. Digital photography allowed him to experiment and greatly improve his photos. He has been taking landscape photos at the Oregon Coast since arriving from Houston, Texas, a year and a half ago. Baker will be joined by Ted Crego, whose presentation “Post Processing to Highlight Subjectâ€? will teach students how post-processing techniques can be used to force viewers to focus on what the photographer wants them to see. Crego will show how photographers can improve shots in post-processing by applying knowledge of what the human eye and brain do when they see an image. Born and raised in Balwinsville, near Syracuse in New York, Crego attended Alfred University and received BS degree in Ceramic Engineering.
