This week’s top five

TOLEDO — This quiet mill town is a gem of a place to visit any day of the week, but even more so during First Weekend, when the thriving arts community throws open its doors to all-comers, with special exhibits, refreshments and the chance to talk art with passionate people. See page 17

NEWPORT — Whether it’s a vast seascape from Astoria’s Christos Koutsouras or an intricately detailed study of a Silverspot Butterﬂy from Nora Sherwood of Lincoln City, the new art shows at the Newport Visual Arts Center have pieces to ﬁt everyone’s

tastes. Meet the artists at the opening receptions this Friday.

See pages 16 & 18 YACHATS — Coastal piano phenomenon Milo Graamans is kicking oﬀ his coastal tour in his hometown. And what better place to hear this virtuoso than in the village where his talent ﬁrst shone? Admission is by donation, so dig deep and settle down for a concert to remember. See page 21

TILLAMOOK — Move over Leonardo DiCaprio. For the next three weeks the role of Jay Gatsby belongs to Zach Crivella, who

from the editor will be bringing F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most enigmatic character to life at the Barn Community Playhouse. See page 26

LINCOLN CITY — The prospect of salmon cooked by Rob Pounding of the Blackﬁsh Café might be enough for some. Others might be drawn in by the promise of decadent desserts from Michelle Robben of My Petite Sweet. And for some, the icing on the cake might be the witticisms of veteran emcee Keith Altomare. Whatever your reasons, you’ll be glad you made time for Culture, of Course! this Saturday. See page 10

A day of pure focus Manzanita’s Hoﬀman Center for the Arts will host a one-day photography class Saturday, May 14, oﬀering tips from Randy L. Rasmussen, former photographer for The Oregonian. Rasmussen worked at the newspaper from 1981 through 2015 as photographer and picture editor. Prior to joining The Oregonian, he worked for the Orange County Register and the Associated Press in southern California. His class, “Translate Your Vision Into Compelling Photographs,” will run from 10 am to 4 pm, with tuition $60 per person. “There are many ways to make more interesting pictures, starting from when you push the button to how you crop and present your

images,” Rasmussen said. “I love to document the diverse forms and textures that our natural world offers.” The class is intended for adults with prior photography experience and who are able to either bring prints, or Jpeg-format digital images on a USB flash drive. After the morning presentation, participants will spend the afternoon critiquing up to four examples of each other’s work. The class can accommodate a minimum of five and a maximum of 12 students. To register, go to http:// hoffmanblog.org. The registration deadline is May 9. For more information, email Randy@ randyrasmussen.com.

Striking back Strokes can come out of nowhere — changing lives forever or cutting them tragically short. But, on Thursday, May 12, a free class will show how a quick and coordinated response can reduce disability and even save a life. The Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies program in Lincoln City will see Richard Lafrance, MD, of Samaritan Stroke Services provide important information about how to prevent a stroke, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of stroke and what to do if a stroke is suspected. “A stroke can be debilitating or deadly, but you can signiﬁcantly reduce your chances of having a stroke by making simple lifestyle changes,” Lafrance said. “If you have concerns about stroke or a history of stroke in your family, you will not want

to miss this seminar.” The class will run from 6 to 7:30 pm at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital’s Health Professions Education Center, 3011 NE 28th Street. Heart-healthy refreshments will be provided. Preregistration is required. To register, go to samhealth.org/ BeHealthy or call 1-855-8730647 toll free.

ENCOUNTERS OF THE STIRRED KIND

Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library is gearing up for the 11th year of its Coastal Encounters series, which will see experts give presentations on coastal topics close to their hearts throughout May. The series will kick off on Tuesday, May 10, with a return visit from Bill Lackner, who will talk about clamming on the Oregon Coast. On the day after his presentation, Wednesday, May 11, Lackner lead a trip to Siletz Bay to hunt purple varnish clams. Lackner will be back at the library on Tuesday, May 24, for a presentation on crabbing, followed by a crabbing field trip to the North Shore of Siletz Bay on Wednesday, May 25. On Tuesday, May 17, Doug Bradstreet, owner of Lincoln City’s Prehistoric store, will talk about fossils and dinosaurs. The series will conclude on Tuesday, May 31, with a visit from Kay Myers, co-author of the perennially popular pocket guide Agates of the Oregon Coast. Myers will talk about agates and how to find and identify them. All lectures start at 6:30 pm and are free to all, thanks to sponsorship from the Friends of Driftwood Public Library. Driftwood Public Library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Ken Hobson at 541996-1242 or via e-mail at kenh@lincolncity.org

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

The detractor and the duel After all these years and hundreds of thousands of words written about Oregon’s “great birthright,” as Governor Oswald West memorably described the state’s publicly owned ocean beaches, a detractor of my writing about beaches has emerged. Actually, the term “detractor” understates it; someone out there really hates what I write and spends a considerable amount of time telling me exactly that. His attack began about a year ago with intermittent emails, letters to the editor, a letter to me, and then a barrage of emails virtually every weekend. Initially, the communications contained mostly wry and often bizarre comments that I assume were meant as rebuttals of points I was trying to make in my columns. Later, he just

got more weird, angry and faux-literary with his derision. From what I could gather, he hates beach dogs roaming off leash and thinks it makes perfect sense for two people to sit silently on driftlog and text all day with the ocean roaring 50 feet away. He hails from an exclusive beach community known for its covenants of conformity and apparently loathes living on the Oregon Coast since he’s constantly complaining about the very qualities that make living here so wonderful. Here’s a sample of his invective: To Matt, Sanctimonious Pontificator — I’d rather a tourist taking selfies in the dunes than the scores of bagged and un-bagged loads of dog**** I’ve come upon in them, and rather cell phones on the sand than morons spraying me with mud while giddily doing figure eights in their trucks. How often have I read, in your tedious encomia to the Oregon Beach Bill, that the beaches are “for the people”? Well, to paraphrase the foes of Citizens United, dogs and trucks are not people! He’s old. Perhaps not necessarily in age, but in spirit. There is a difference. I’m 52 and feeling younger every day. He describes my detesting of umbrellas as some sort of “macho” pose. Au contraire sir, letting rain lave you can help anyone embrace the long-suppressed femininity of Mother Earth.Try walking in rain without an umbrella for extended periods of time and you just might understand that. I did a few years back and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to my teaching and writing, not to mention my soul. In particular, the detractor took umbrage to my claims that Oregon has a unique legacy of publicly owned beaches unlike any other state in the nation. He railed against my “Oregon “exceptionalism” and

repeatedly cited the example of Florida as having many more miles of public beach than Oregon and that people enjoyed themselves more there because they could frolic in bikinis and swim at leisure in the warm water. My first thought to his latter point was straight out of a Johnny Paycheck country anthem: take your sun and shove it! I ain’t vacationing there no more. To his former point, it is true that Florida has many more miles of beach than Oregon. But not all of Florida’s beaches are publicly owned and even many of the ones you may use can cost a significant amount of money to enjoy (parking fees, etc.) I might add, too, that no one has to check into a motel, hotel or campground to access a particular Oregon Coast beach. I’ve also heard stories from friends that sometimes you have to drive for miles and miles to find a dedicated access to the beach in Florida. On the Oregon Coast, they are literally everywhere you look. I responded to my detractor a couple of times early on and once suggested he should consider walking more on the beach (for free) and think about where he was, what he was doing in Oregon, and reflect on the possibility he was becoming an embittered old man. After this rebuke, he totally lost it. His most recent communication (now approaching 40 emails total) was utterly ridiculous and hostile in a way I hadn’t seen before, and I never responded. I don’t get into the gutter with the gutter-junkies. And then, while walking with Sonny the husky on the beach, I decided I would respond…but with more than a mere retort, that tiptoes along the edges of the gutter. (Notice I’m still standing with this metaphor.) Dear Vainglorious Vile Viscount of Vitriol: Sir, enough is enough! Either move back to your bright beloved Florida or accept my challenge of a duel: building driftwood forts on the beach at 40 paces in a ripping rainstorm. Sonny the husky will serve as my second. You can bring along your flat screen TV. Why do I get to set the conditions of duel? Because I extol the virtues of the Oregon Coast and the sacrosanct great notion of free public beaches and you merely complain. Because I have better things to do and you don’t. Because you consult a thesaurus and I don’t. Because I have a great dog and you don’t. The winner of the duel — me — dashes naked into the ocean. As for the loser — you — well, you get to stand there in chinos and think about palm trees, dog-less beaches and the terrible abuses of socialism. How do I know you will lose? You can’t build a fort while holding an umbrella, fiddling on a phone or drinking your own bile from a Styrofoam cup. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

MUD, SWEAT AND GEARS THE COAST HILLS CLASSIC MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE REVAMPS ITS COURSE FOR 2016 By Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

Racers in the fifth annual Coast Hills Classic mountain bike race, coming up on Saturday, May 14, at the trail system near the Wilder housing development in South Beach, will still find grueling climbs, speedy downhills, wicked single track, gravel roads and rutted fields under their tires, as they have for the past four years. They will still find Rogue beers in the beer garden at the finish line and awesome raffle prizes donated by a range of sponsors. Their registration fees will still support City of Newport youth sports scholarships. And as always, there will be plenty of mud to go around. But there is something different in store for racers this year: miles of new trail, most of it single-track, created just in time for the race. Necessity is the mother of invention: the new trails were constructed to replace those that were wiped out by a forestry thinning operation carried out this spring by the trail network’s private land-owners. “It’s a working forest on private property, and their timber needs to be thinned periodically,” said Mike Cavanaugh, sports coordinator for the Newport Parks & Recreation Department, one of the race’s sponsors. “As a result of this thinning, we lost about three to four miles of trails.” “Many of the trails were built on old logging road beds or skid roads, and the land-owners needed to use those again for this operation,” he added. To map and build new trails, Cavanaugh, the forester in charge of the thinning, the landowners and members of Newport’s Yaquina Wheels Bike Club worked together to scout new potential paths. One of the lead trail-planners and builders, Tomas Follett, a local mountain biker, spent a lot of time reviewing old maps and walking and biking the trails with his GPS, bushwhacking and backtracking. “I followed the elk a lot to find their trails,” he said, “And I hit a lot of dead ends.” Cavanaugh, Follett and others marked the new trails with flags and then led teams of volunteer trail-building crews from the Newport Parks & Recreation Department, the Yaquina Wheels Bike Club, Bike Newport and Ardor Adventures running club. On most Sundays for the past two months, crews of these intrepid volunteers have brought chainsaws, loppers, rakes, machetes and sweat equity to the trails, working mainly near the airport. Other labor has been provided by the Lincoln County Parole & Probation work crew.

The result is a set of new trails that connects to the old race course to circumvent and replace those trails that are temporarily lost. The new pieces include a stretch of singletrack through salal and other scrub that local riders are calling “Ursula;” a mowed climb through a field frequented by elk; a wooded trail that weaves through small trees like a ski slalom course; and an extension of a fun trail near the trailhead called “My Humps” which is chock full of moguls, jumps and banked turns. With the addition of the new tracks, the race course might end up being slightly longer than in previous years (about 12 miles last year), and more difficult with the addition of a couple of climbs later in the course. “The race will be as good as it’s been, if not better, this year,” said Cheryl Brown, a local rider and treasurer of the Yaquina Wheels Bike Club. “The new trails will add a challenge for those that have ridden the course before, and local bikers will be riding the new additions long after the race is over.” “We’re grateful for the wonderful partners we have in the Wilder land-owners,” Brown added. “We’re so glad they let us use their property for riding — these trails are an amazing community asset.” The Coast Hills Classic race is the reincarnation of an older race called the Ben Eder Memorial. It is part of the Oregon Off-Road Series and the Oregon Junior MTB Series. Racers can register in a variety of categories from elite to novice, and a two-mile kids race for riders aged eight to 12 is also offered. The Wilder trails can be accessed by the gate at the end of the road leading to the Newport campus of Oregon Coast Community College. A free permit is required to use the trails, available at Bike Newport, 150 NW 6th Street. If you’d like to join the fun on race day, registration and other race information is available at coasthillsclassic. com.

A choice presentation Newport’s Thursday, May 12, class on conquering chronic disease will be led by an instructor who speaks from firsthand experience. Four years ago, Sherri Smith defied the odds to survive a major medical crisis that led her to flatline. Not knowing how long she would live, she moved from the Valley to the Coast to spend the rest of her days by the ocean. Sick of being sick from prescription medication side effects, she took responsibility for her health and researched her own remedies. Not only did she survive, she thrived.

Smith recently completed a nationally recognized course in nutrition and credits the changes she made as a result with saving her life. She was shocked to learn that the evidence-based scientific research behind the facts has been around for 30 or more years. Her free presentation “Get the Facts. Choose Health” will start at 12:30 pm at the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. All are welcome. For future presentation dates, email getthefactschoosehealth@gmail.com.

Mixing up the Yaquina Bay Light with the Yaquina Head Light used to be a fatal mistake for mariners heading into Newport.

Frontline employees from around the area are encouraged to participate in the seminar which is free to all and includes a guided neighborhood bus tour, complimentary passes to local attractions, door prizes, refreshments, a grand prize and more. This year’s seminar will be held at the Best Western Agate Beach Inn, 3019 N Coast Hwy. in Newport.

Items up for bid include everything from a cocktail party at a cultural center supporter’s home to a side of grass-fed beef, along with wonderful gift certificates for dining, services, art and more. At 7 pm, the silent auction will close and the action will move into the auditorium for the second course: a lovely seasonal salad provided by Chef Brooke Price of the Side Door Café. Volunteer servers will clear the salad plates and then present the main course: a beautiful plate of alder-plank roasted salmon, prepared right outside the center doors by Chefs Rob Pounding and Josh Anderson of the Blackfish Café. It will come with vegetables, prepared on site

in the center’s new commercial kitchen, and fresh baguettes donated by Hearth & Table. The fourth course will be a platter of miniature desserts, prepared by Pastry Chef Michelle Robben

of My Petite Sweet and freshly brewed Cape Foulweather Coﬀee. The evening’s festivities, led by emcee Keith Altomare, will include live music, with selections by loop-cellist Billy Mickelson,

singer-songwriter Tom Owczarzak and the duo Pipedance. The schedule also includes the drawing for the Culture, Of Course! 50/50 Raffle, with chances sold throughout the evening. The raffle’s grand prize is half the gross receipts — anywhere between $1,000 and $6,000. Chances are $20 each, and you need not be present to win. All proceeds from the event will go to fund the center’s daily operations and financial security.

But for donors who prefer to invest in something solid, the Culture, Of Course! Totally Tangible Paddle Raise offers a host of things that benefactors can see, touch and point to with pride. Last year’s paddle raise bought new, energy efficient LED light bulbs for the Chessman Gallery and the Info Center/ Gift Shop. This year, Executive Director Niki Price will present a selection of new tangibles in need of support. There are two ways to enjoy the second Culture, Of Course! Tickets for the full evening, with four courses of food and entertainment, are $75 each. Seating is limited to 100. A vegetarian option is available, but must be ordered in advance. Tickets for just the ﬁrst course, including appetizers, one glass of wine and the silent auction, are $25 each. To purchase, call 541-994-9994 or click the “Buy Tickets” button at www. lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Found in transition A new exhibit of scientific illustrations at the Newport Visual Arts Center delves into great detail to show how plants and animals adapt to dramatic seasonal changes on the Oregon Coast. “Seasonal Transitions,” by Nora Sherwood will open on Friday, May 6, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, including a talk from the artist at 6:30 pm. The show invites viewers to consider the beauty of enormous changes in the natural world of the Oregon Coast as plants and animals move through various adaptations. For example, the lifecycle of the Oregon Silverspot butterfly requires a series of metamorphoses over the course of a year just so the butterfly can spend a few weeks on the coast. Many other sea and shore birds only spend winter on the coast, while whales and other animals “commute” through the region on annual migrations paths. “We humans aren’t really required to adapt to accommodate changing seasons,” Sherwood said.

“Varied Thrush and Apples”by Nora Sherwood

“For the most part, we live in insulated homes, use refrigerators to buy and store any food we want, and wear clothes to be comfortable indoors and out. Humans can stay put and awake in the same place year-round. Not so in the world of plants and animals.” Sherwood’s preferred media include watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite.

Her recent work has been inspired by the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a few miles from her home in Lincoln City. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the show will be on display through May 29 in the Upstairs Gallery of the center, 777 NW Beach Drive, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm Tuesday to Saturday.

CRASH THE PARTY

By Becky Miller

“Laguna Gold” by Michael Gibbons

with a visit to Toledo’s First Weekend The beauty of the West Coast will be on full display in Toledo this Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8, as the town’s artists celebrate another First Weekend. Visitors to the Yaquina River Museum of Art will be able to marvel at a scene from the Yaquina watershed in the form of “On A Summer Morning,” by renowned local oil painter Michael Gibbons. One of more than 30 images Gibbons created as part of his traveling exhibit “Yaquina,” the painting won the people’s choice award and will be available as a giclée print in time for the town’s annual Labor Day Art Walk. Gibbons and his wife, Judith, donated “On A Summer Morning” to the YRMA Traveling Exhibit in memory of Richard Nichols, the museum’s founder and past chairman, who passed away in February.

“Majestic Pacific” by Angela Lehrbass

The Yaquina River Museum of Art is located at 151 NE Alder Street and will be open from 11 am to 5 pm daily during First Weekend, with light refreshments served by Friends of the Museum. Meanwhile, across the street at his Signature

Gallery, Gibbons will be showcasing a work from further down the West Coast. “Laguna Gold” was painted on the California coast where the rocks and water come together in a scene of vigorous action. Gibbons will welcome guests with a wine and cheese

reception from 11 am to 5 pm both days at the gallery, located at 140 NE Alder Street. And, just around the corner, oil painter Ivan Kelly will be showcasing several of his acclaimed maritime scenes including the newly ﬁnished “Heading Out, Winter Morning.”

Located at 207 East Graham Street, Ivan Kelly Studio-Gallery will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday. At the Impressions Paciﬁc gallery on Main Street, Angela Lehrbass will be showcasing her photography skills with an image from Cape Perpetua called “Majestic Paciﬁc.” Elsewhere in the gallery, visitors can browse original paintings, ceramics and handcrafted wood items while enjoying refreshments and the

opportunity to watch a woodturning demonstration. Impressions Paciﬁc is located at 333 N. Main Street and will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday. Newport’s kelp will be in the spotlight at Twisted Snout Brewery, where oil painter Becky Miller will be showing several of her large kelp paintings, which combine abstract design with photorealism for an engaging and imaginative viewing experience. Located at 300 S. Main Street, the brewery is open from 11 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 11 am to 7 pm on Sunday. Elsewhere on Main Street, visitors can check out artwork sculpted from Oregon clay at Toledo Clayworks now under the management of accomplished local ceramic artist Chasse Davidson.

Astoria painter Christos Koutsouras will bring his largescale landscapes to Newport on Friday, May 6, when his solo exhibit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accessible to All,â&#x20AC;? opens at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The show will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, with a talk from the artist at 6 pm. Originally from Greece, Koutsouras came to Astoria somewhat by chance. He was traveling from Seattle to Cannon Beach in 2010, looking for a place to create work for a show at the Indiana Museum of Contemporary Art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place of conďŹ&#x201A;uence of took hold, like an anchor dropped from a freighter,â&#x20AC;? said Teri Sund at Astoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imogen Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And here he remains, still ďŹ nding inspiration in the currents that move the land, sea and sky.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Passages,â&#x20AC;? in 2013, and went on to host â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accessible to Allâ&#x20AC;? in 2015. Born in 1957 on the Greek island of Samos, Koutsouras served as a merchant marine until the age of 25, when he traveled to Germany to study painting and drawing. From 1982 to 1985, he was commissioned to create murals

and reliefs in Greece and France. Before arriving in Astoria, Koutsouras was already a well-traveled painter and adventurer. He has had multiple solo exhibitions at venues including at the Indiana Museum of Contemporary Art, the Gallery Sassen and Edition in Bonn, the Abraham Lubelskey Gallery in New York City, the Gallery Alekton in Athens, Georgia, and the Center for Artist Melina in Athens, Greece. In spring 2016, Koutsouras returned from a trip to Germany, where he is working on a commissioned mural project. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accessible to Allâ&#x20AC;? will be on display through July 3 in the Runyan Gallery of the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, available to view from 11 am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

A-sharp performer

Milo Graamans launches concert series from Tillamook to Florence By Barbara B. Covell For The TODAY

Photos by Chris Graamans His musical talent as a pianist drew community attention and critical acclaim when barely a teenager in the village of Yachats. Before long, the celebrated musical prodigy drew regional at-tention for his multiple abilities to perform, compose original music, score music and lyrics as a playwright and direct vocalists in solo and chorale settings. Now an adult with a lengthy resume of creative achievements, he is known locally as Milo. Milo Graamans has a rich piano performance background and enjoys playing diverse repertoires, from classical to ragtime, featuring Chopin, Liszt, Joplin, Rachmaninoff, Cobb and many other recognized composers, as well as his own original music, which he describes as a variant of pop. He is the accompanist for the Central Coast Chorale and the organist/music director at the Yachats Presbyterian Church. He regularly plays piano or keyboards with the Red Octopus Thea-tre Group, the Porthole Players and the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts Shakespeare Camp at the Newport Performing Arts Center. He has been a feature pianist with the Yachats Music Fes-tival, sponsored by Four Seasons Arts of Berkeley, California, and most recently performed a dual piano arrangement with Carlyn Jefferson at the Lincoln County Oregon Music Teachers As-sociation annual fund-raiser. Now Milo is stepping up his performance schedule with a five-city line up from April to September 2016, showcasing guest artists and a host of classical, popular and original compositions. “Each concert will be different,” he said. “I want to offer something unique in every venue, something tailored especially for that community.” The first concert, at 2 pm on Sunday, May 15, at the Yachats Community Presbyterian church, will include classical works by Liszt, RimskyKorsakov, Schubert and others, along with popular selections by Joplin and Gershwin and several original compositions. Guest performers Ian Smith, Evan Pardi, Sarah Richards, Gidget Manucci and the Yachats Community Presbyterian Chancel Choir will add guitar, upright bass and vocals to an otherwise piano-centered program. The Sunday, July 17, concert at 2 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center will feature guest pianist Carlyn Jefferson. Audience members will be treated to a dual piano repertoire with Milo and Jefferson. Proceeds will be donated to the OCCA Shakespeare Camp scholarships.

The Saturday, Aug. 27, concert in Florence and the Sunday, Sept. 11, concert in Siletz are being held in private homes at 7 pm and 2 pm respectively, with the owners generously providing more intimate settings for Milo and his guest musicians. Seat reservations in Florence can be made at www. mainlypiano.com; and people can reserve seats in Siletz by emailing jel@newportnet.com. Milo will return to a larger venue for his Friday, Sept. 30, concert in Lincoln City, taking to the stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 7 pm. Admission to each concert is by donation. “I like having it this way,” Milo said, “because it means I do not have to turn anyone away.” Inspiration has played a major role in Milo’s artistic development. He credits his uncle, guitarist Ian Smith, for developing his interest in music at a young age. Milo began piano lessons at the age of four, under the tutelage of Jessica Treon, with whom he studied until heading oﬀ to col-lege at the University of Oregon. He has studied composition with Mary Lee Scoville, PhD, and works with her still in other musical capacities. Milo remembers being immediately immersed in music, picking repertoire that he wanted to learn, such as Chopin and Joplin. “I was always getting ahead of myself, picking music I wasn’t capable of playing yet,” he said. “I would delve into pieces before my hands were large enough to play all the chords. What I really appreciated about working with Jessie Treon was that she let me go in whatever direction I was most interested in.” He began to work on his own piano arrangements at the age of 12, then gradually began song-writing, eventually writing his own musical, “She Loves Me Not,” which was produced in 2014 at the Newport Performing Arts Center and the Yachats Commons. “My three primary inspirations during that phase were Andrew Lloyd Webber, Girlyman and Starkid,” he said. In addition to his summer concert series, Milo will be performing Sunday, July 10, at the 36th annual Yachats Music Festival. Sponsored by Four Seasons Arts, this internationally acclaimed gathering of world-class performers features classical, spiritual and popular music in an intimate setting. For more information about Milo’s 2016 Concert Series and music, go to www.milograamans.com Barbara B. Covell is a contributing journalist with 10 years’ experience in Oregon newspapers and regional magazines. Feel free to contact her at bbcovell@me.com.

Playing the blame game The state of American theater will be laid bare on the Lincoln City stage this month, as Theatre West presents John Morogiello’s comedy “Blame It On Beckett.” Directed by Wes Ryan, the play tells the story of Heidi Bishop, a wide-eyed dramaturgy intern, eager to better American drama. What she encounters instead is an endless stream of bad scripts by desperate playwrights and an office filled with cynicism and turf battles, led by her bitterly hilarious boss, Jim Foley. When Heidi’s efforts to improve things run into unintended consequences,

she is forced to confront idealism with reality to save her career, reputation and relationships. This play contains some adult language. Karen Davis stars as Heidi Bishop, with Charles Herndon as Jim Foley, Bryan Kirsch as Mike Braschi and Stina SeegerGibson as Tina Fike. The play also features the voices of Hugh McDowell, Dennis Gibson and Wes Ryan. Backstage, Danielle Ryan is assistant director, while also helping out on lights and sound with Pedro Cortez. Set dressing is by Ariel McDowell.

The play runs through May 28, with performances at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, along with a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, May 15. On regular performance days, the box oﬃce is open at 2 pm, doors open at 7 pm and the play begins promptly at 7:30 pm. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $14 for adults or $12 for seniors and students can be booked by calling 541994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back.

prohibition America, the roaring 1920s and the shallowness of the nouveau rich. The stage version faithfully follows the well-known novel about the young and mysterious Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, who passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan. Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into

their world of obsession, greed and danger, and pens a tale of impossible love, dreams and tragedy. “In life there are some stories that can surprise you.” Fleisher said. “When I was ﬁrst introduced to ‘The Great Gatsby’ I was less than thrilled to be watching another sappy romance movie. Halfway

through I noticed I was paying closer attention, and by the end I was hooked. I ended up thoroughly enjoying the 1974 version and reading the book, twice. The story was enchanting, and the way it was told allowed the reader to not just witness, but interact with the story and to ﬁnd points of light in their own past. I hope
