This week’s top five 1

YACHATS — For many years, heading to Yachats in mid-November has put visitors at severe risk of encountering an Irish jig, with the town’s Celtic music festival seizing upon the wet season as the perfect time for a bit of a knees-up. This year, music fans can expect a more diverse range of tunes as the Rainspout Musical Festival takes over, oﬀering everything from bluegrass to New Orleans jazz. See page 21

NEWPORT — If you’ve ever wondered what Sesame Street looks like after the cameras stop rolling, this spicy musical comedy will give you a pretty good idea, with

Muppet-like creatures misbehaving left and right. Cover photo by Chris Graamans. See page 12

LINCOLN CITY — Different people have different ways of making it through the winter. Some turn to family, some turn to religion. Lincoln City turns to chowder. Come and see why as chefs from across the Pacific Northwest deploy their take on the ultimate comfort food. See page 19

LINCOLN CITY — People who remember laughing ‘till they cried at the caustic comments of Mama on

from the editor

“The Carol Burnett Show” might well wonder what the no-nonsense Southern matriarch would make of modern pop culture, like the Kardashians. Wonder no longer, Mama is coming to Lincoln City to tell all. See page 7

NESKOWIN — When you’re named after the Greek god of the four winds, the Oregon Coast is pretty much a required stop. Hear the Aeolus String Quartet do battle with the elements as the Neskowin Chamber Music series continues this Sunday. See page 21

Nothing signals the start of holiday season quite like the smell of a freshly made wreath. And wreath-making opportunities abound on the Oregon Coast, with classes on oﬀer at the Tillamook Forest Center, the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the Connie Hansen Gardens in Lincoln City. The Lincoln City workshop will kick oﬀ wreath-making season on Sunday, Dec. 6, with U.S Fish and Wildlife volunteer and master wreath maker Lee Sliman leading a class on how to make a holiday wreath from native trees and shrubs. The workshop, sponsored by Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, will see participants crafting wreaths using greens from native species, including Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce and Salal. Students will discover which materials make the longest-lasting wreaths — and pick up a bit of natural history along the way. All wreath-making supplies will be provided but participants should bring gloves if possible. The workshop will run

GET SCHOOLED IN TRASH WALKIN’

Registration is now open for people interested in joining the new marine debris program organized by the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team, or COASST. The group will oﬀer a training session at the Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center in Newport on Saturday, Nov. 21. Through an interactive, hands-on workshop, trainees will learn how

to collect data that speak directly to the source and transport pathways of debris, as well as to the potential harm to people, wildlife and local coastal ecosystems. Volunteers do not need any prior experience with scientiﬁc data collection, just a commitment to survey a willingness to walk a speciﬁc beach at least once a month. COASST is a citizen science

project of the University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal and federal agencies, environmental organizations and community groups. By collaborating with citizens, natural resource management agencies and environmental organizations, COASST works to translate longterm monitoring into eﬀective marine conservation solutions.

Currently, more than 800 volunteers survey beaches in Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska. The free training session will run from 10 am to 4 pm in classroom 30/32 of the center, 2030 SE Marine Science Drive. To reserve a spot, call 206-2216893 or email coasst@uw.edu. For more information on COASST, go to www.coasst.org.

YO, MAMA Vicki Lawrence brings her iconic role to Lincoln City By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Photos by CC Street Studio For some actors, getting older takes them further away from the roles that made them famous. Roger Moore creaked his way through a few too many Bond movies in the ’80s and it remains to be seen whether Indiana Jones fans will come back for more installments of the whip-cracking hero played by a social security card-toting Harrison Ford. But for Vicki Lawrence, the passage of time has only served to heighten the connection to her iconic role as Mama, the formidable Southern matriarch familiar to millions of viewers of the “The Carol Burnett Show” and later “Mama’s Family.” “You do reach an age where you just don’t have that much time to waste,” she said, “so you tend to tell it like it is.” Not that Lawrence has ever suﬀered from being shy. She got her big break by having the gumption, while still a high school senior, to write to Carol Burnett directly, inviting the famed TV entertainer to the local talent show in Inglewood, California. Burnett made the trip and hired the teenaged Lawrence to play her kid sister on “The Carol Burnett Show,” which premiered in 1967. Lawrence spent 11 successful years on the show, playing all types of characters in sketches alongside Burnett and other TV comedy greats including Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. But it was in 1974, at the age of 24, that Lawrence came up with the character that would come to deﬁne her career — Thelma Harper, aka: Mama, the acid-tongued matriarch who ruled the roost in the show’s recurring series of “Family”

sketches. Lawrence said playing mother to Burnett’s character in the Family sketches was not so unusual, despite being 16 years younger than her co-star. “When Carol was Cinderella, I was the wicked witch. When Carol was Shirley Temple, I was the mean old school teacher,” she said, “so at the time, it was just another old lady to play.” But Mama’s plain-speaking approach and devastating putdowns became so popular that she went on to become the main character in the spin oﬀ “Mama’s Family” TV show, which aired for six seasons in the ’80s. Lawrence hung up Mama’s trademark ﬂowerprint dress and support stockings when the show’s run

ended in 1990 but, in 2001, after nearly 30 million viewers tuned in to watch “The Carol Burnett Show: Show Stoppers” special, she decided the time was ripe for a comeback. But the new touring production, “Vicki Lawrence & Mama: a twowoman show” allows audiences to see beyond the silvery-blue curls of Mama and get some insights into the life of Lawrence herself. “Everyone loves Mama so much, I knew she had to be a big part of the show but sometimes I get a little jealous of her,” Lawrence said. “She gets all the best jokes, gets to say whatever she wants, and sometimes I think I could fall oﬀ the face of the Earth and as long as Mama showed up everyone would be happy.” The resulting compromise sees Lawrence appear as herself for the ﬁrst half of the show, recounting

on stage If you go

Lawrence said the TV landscape at the time of “The Carol Burnett Show” allowed for the development of comedy characters that are more multilayered than many of their modern equivalents. “Back in the day there were only three networks. So everyone tuned in and watched the Burnett show,” she said. “Now, if you’re not funny in 20 seconds, people have ﬂipped the channel.” But

Mama has also moved with the times, and audiences can expect jokes on everything from visiting the gynecologist to wrestling with an iphone. “It’s been fun to push her into the new century and to hear her take on what’s going on in the world today,” Lawrence said. “She’s upset about those toilets that ﬂush three times before you can get your pants back up. She’s upset about the Kardashians. She’s upset about Donald Trump’s hair!” “Vicki Lawrence & Mama: a twowoman show” will be in Lincoln City for two performances, at 8 pm on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21, at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, 1777 NW 44th Street. Tickets, $10 to $25, are available by calling 1-888-6246228 or at www. chinookwinds casino.com. Lawrence as “Mama”

CULTURE? WE AGRI... Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery will present a celebration of Northwestern agricultural heritage in a new photography exhibit that opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Nov. 13. “The Bountiful Lens: Picturing Agricultural Lands and Plenty” features work by five photographers from Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. The show is organized and curated by the College of Agricultural Sciences at Oregon State University, which features all five photographers in its Art About Agriculture permanent collection. Rich Bergeman of Corvallis employs blackand-white photography to depict the romance and nostalgia of ranch life and abandoned homesteads in Eastern Oregon. From Tigard, Loren Nelson explores the rich detail and design of plants with his 4x5 film camera, black-and-white film and traditional gelatin silver prints. Nancy Peterfreund of Seattle uses color and geometry to great effect in depicting the planted, plowed and harvested fields of Eastern Washington, while Susan Seubert of Portland focuses her lens on the flora and fauna of the sea. Seubert creates 4x5-inch ambrotypes, a historic process that produces positive images on glass plates. Rounding out the group, Mark Abrahamson of Red Wing, Minnesota, takes to the air in a small plane to capture the designs and patterns created by agricultural fields when seen from above. The exhibit will be on display through Monday, Dec. 7, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm every day except Tuesdays. The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101.

Lincoln City’s Blackfish Café is displaying an exhibit of gyotaku fish prints from local artist Bruce Koike, with 40 pieces available to view throughout the restaurant through the end of the year. The Japanese word gyotaku translates to “fish rubbing” and refers to a traditional technique in which the actual specimen is used in the printing process. Koike practices the “direct method” in which paint is placed directly on the fish. The next step in the process is to position a sheet of rice paper on the fish and gently rub it to transfer the paint. After the paint has set, the eyes are hand painted, giving the fish a realistic appearance. The Blackfish Café display includes many Pacific Northwest marine species including coho salmon, yelloweye rockfish from Alaska waters, Pacific sand dab, cabezon and fishes from other locations. The exhibit also includes bay scallops, spot prawn, gaper clam, oysters and swell shark egg cases, aka:

Mermaid’s purse. “Bruce has captured the beauty and diversity of some of the significant rockfish species off our coast”, says Mary Yoklavich, a fishery biologist at the NOAA facility in Santa Cruz, California. “He has truly mastered this traditional method of fish printing.” Koike earned a master’s degree in Fisheries Science from Oregon State University and has worked at public aquariums including Oregon State University’s Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science Center, the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. He also created the Aquarium Science program at the Oregon Coast Community College. The Blackfish Café is located at 2733 NW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and is open for lunch at 11:30 am and for dinner at 5 pm every day except Tuesday. Gyotaku fans can also see more of Koike’s work by contacting him directly at koike.bruce@gmail.com.

CAKE AND EAT IT FIND CAPTAIN DAN’S AT TWO LOCATIONS THIS WEEKEND, IN LINCOLN CITY

For almost eight years, Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop has provided a warm welcome, delicious baked goods and hot, fresh coﬀee to locals and visitors alike in Lincoln City’s Taft district. Co-owners Dan and Kathy Draper make a great team — he donning the tri-corner hat to play the pirate while she puts her baking skills to work providing the pastries. But this weekend, the pair will each be captaining their own ships, with Dan holding down the fort in Taft while Kathy sets up shop a few miles north to cater to the crowds crying out for comfort food at the annual Lincoln City Chowder Cook-Oﬀ. Guests visiting Kathy’s booth at the Lincoln City Outlets will be able to pick from a range of 10 turnovers, including the shop’s undisputed bestseller — the Shipwreck Turnover, the only baked good on the seven seas that combines apples, cream cheese and caramel with the sweet bounty of bacon. Maple bacon cinnamon rolls

will also be on offer for people in search of that sweet-salty combo, while those looking for a more traditional dessert might want to sample Kathy’s beer brownies, made with craft beer from Lincoln City’s own Rusty Truck Brewery. “The recipe calls for Guinness,” she said, “but it was just so much better with the Taft Toffee Porter.” Meanwhile, back at the shop, Dan will be serving up all this plus a few new seasonal treats — pumpkin cream cheese turnovers and pumpkin spice bars — which can’t travel to the cook-off due to refrigeration requirements. The shop’s popular theme cookies, decorated like clown fish and salmon, will be on offer at both locations. And in-between serving customers, Dan will be trying to figure out how to make a clam cookie that would tie in with the cookoff and still look appetizing. He has been wary of messing with mollusks ever since he tried to create an oyster cookie to coincide with the Oyster

Kathy will be oﬀering a range of pastries for sale at this weekend’s Chowder Cook-Oﬀ, running from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, Nov. 14, and 11 am to 3 pm on Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Lincoln City Outlets, 1500 SE East Devils Lake Road.

Cloyster fundraiser in Newport. “Have you ever seen an oyster?” he said. “It looks like a hardened piece of rock.” But while this is a tricky problem, Dan counts his blessings that it is at least an interesting one. Before embracing the pirate

lifestyle, Kathy and Dan spent most of their careers in rather staid oﬃce environments, at the Portland Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank and in other ﬁnancial institutions. Dan likes to say that when he was with the Fed, he couldn’t even see the box to think out of.

Since the couple opened the shop in February 2008, they have embraced the opportunity to do something different — decorating the place with nautical details, smart-aleck signs, driftwood mobiles and a mechanical parrot named Polly. Kathy, who was a prizewinning baker long before they opened the shop, believes in old family recipes, like layer cakes made with real butter and shortening, real whipped cream and fresh eggs, and Northwest favorites like marionberries and hazelnuts. She prides herself on an extra-flaky pie crust and cookies that you can’t stop eating. The pastries go down easy with a cup of joe from the Pirate Coffee Company, an unaffiliated but equally arrrdent roasting and retail shop in Depoe Bay. The Drapers grind each batch as they brew it, so the coffee is always fresh and flavorful. Customers are welcome to take their bounty and leave,

but if they stay, Cap’n Dan and his first mate try to show them a good time. They provide coloring pages and books at a kid-level counter, open to children and adults alike. The tables are laden with “Pirate” magazines, and the shelves are stocked with booty including T-shirts and toys.

Q Puppets storm the stage as “Avenue Q” debuts in Newport

By Barbara B. Covell Photos by Chris Graamans For the TODAY

Hold on to your heartstrings. The wildly spirited and naughty puppets from the Emmywinning “Avenue Q” have arrived, making their Oregon Coast debut at the Newport Performing Arts Center. There, during a three-week run, they will sing and dance their way into the hearts of every audience member, evoking laughter, tears and empathy. Yet these childlike puppets with green noses and furry faces explore a gamut of adult feelings, including the seedier underbelly of humankind. Porthole Players Director Cyn Wilkes has transformed the ample Alice Silverman stage into an outer borough street in New York City, where humans and puppets scramble to stay solvent. It is here where the characters convincingly present a coming-of-age parable that deals with life’s disappointments. “The 11 puppet and three human characters who live on Avenue Q interact with each other everyday, much like Sesame Street,” Wilkes said. “The diﬀerence is that Avenue Q consists of young adults in search of their purpose, facing real-life obstacles and adult problems.” The storyline is a rapid-ﬁre slice of life. A recent college graduate named Princeton

moves to Avenue Q in search of an apartment and job. He is eager to find his “purpose in life,” yet bemoans the fact he has an English degree and no work experience. Princeton and his new neighbors, Kate Monster, Rod and Nicky are joined by their human friends: unemployed Brian; his Japanese fiancé, Christmas Eve; and Gary Coleman, the building superintendent, in a resounding chorus of “It Sucks to be Me.” Rod, a Republican banker, struggles with his sexuality as his roommate Nicky suspects he is gay. “If You Were Gay” is both poignant and rollicking, involving input from the neighborhood characters. This quickly segues into a war of words between Princeton and Kate Monster, eventually drawing in the others for another resounding number: “Everybody’s a Little Bit Racist.” Later, the reclusive and gruff Trekkie Monster unveils another reality of adulthood in “The Internet is for Porn.” Princeton and Kate Monster go out on a date and encounter the persuasive Bad Idea Bears while Lucy the Slut performs a seductive song-and-dance for Princeton. After drinks and a night of wild, raucous sex, Princeton and Kate Monster initiate a rendition of “Fantasies Come True,” also joined by the lonely Rod. A highlight of the first Act is Rod’s lascivious “My Girlfriend in Canada.” The decidedly adult themes are played out by adorable puppets, a riveting, fast-paced storyline and a musical score that won the Emmy award for Best Musical in 2004. But this is not a show for young children and discretion should be used with teenagers. It is a juicy parody having childlike puppets recognize the fallacy of being told they could “do anything” in life; when in actuality, options may be limited. The final song, “For Now,” echoes the sentiment that life goes on. Wilkes has cast a standout team of actors to portray the human and puppet characters. Rehearsing since June, the performers have to sing, dance and be proficient in puppeteering. While onstage and visible to the audience, the actors with puppets remain behind their characters, giving complete authenticity to the vocals, movements and interactions between the puppet cast. “Human characters are dressed in bright colors, as are their puppet counterparts,” Wilkes says. “The puppeteer actors all wear solid colors,

so they don’t detract from the puppet costumes.” The total eﬀect is a knockout, as is Wilkes’ staging and choreography. Veteran actors Justin and Nikki Atkins (Rod and Kate Monster) give outstanding performances with great depth and emotion. Cody Larsen’s Princeton is both vulnerable and mesmerizing as he leads the characters through a metamorphosis to awareness and maturity. Mary Eastman and Marc Maislen take on the challenges of Nicky and Trekkie Monster — puppets that require two puppeteers in complete physiological sync. Eastman and Maislen are masterful in their work. Of particular note is the seven-piece

orchestra, ably led by Music Director Howard Lackey. They tackle a complicated score and enhance the powerhouse vocals. The result is a professional polish to a delightful script. Audiences will delight in the color and detail of the actual puppets, which are the original ones used on the Broadway stage. Sound and lighting amplify the set design, which includes two projection screens. “Avenue Q” runs from Friday, Nov. 13, through Sunday, Nov. 29. Performances are at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, with 2 pm matinées on Sundays. Tickets may be purchased online at www.coastarts.org/ticketing or by calling 541265-ARTS.

To go, or not to go? Hurry up and decide. “I Hate Hamlet” wraps up this weekend in Lincoln City. Fans of “Hamlet” know very well that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. But according to the new show from Lincoln City’s Theatre West, there’s something pretty ﬁshy going on in Manhattan, too. “I Hate Hamlet,” a comedy by Paul Rudnick, introduces audiences to Andrew Rally, a young and successful TV actor who relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, Gothic apartment. With his television career in limbo, Rally is oﬀered the opportunity to play Hamlet on stage. There’s just one problem: he hates Hamlet. His dilemma gets even more complicated with the appearance of the ghost of famed Hamlet actor John Barrymore, who arrives intoxicated and in full costume at the apartment that once was his. The contrast between the two actors leads to a wildly funny duel over women, art, success, duty, television, and yes, the apartment. Directed by Danielle Ryan, the plays stars Wes Ryan as John Barrymore,

Showing my true colors A

few months ago, on one of those nights when I wasn’t tired enough to go to bed, but not awake enough to watch another rerun of “Modern Family,” I turned to one of the shopping channels I’ve been known to sneak a peek at. There was a time I thought such channels were for couch potatoes who lacked the gumption to get out and shop in the real world. Then I ended up with shoulder surgery, on pain meds, frustrated and bored and, what do you know, there I was shopping from my sofa. I’ve bought sea grass, yard lights, leggings, jewelry, make-up, pillows, a laptop, even Christmas cookies — and I am total sucker for anything promising to anti-age me. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s kind of crazy and most of the time I abstain, but every once in a while… Which is where I was one evening last summer when the host began touting the day’s special deal. I could barely believe what I was seeing. Adult coloring books. I had no idea the books had become such a trend. In fact, I assumed if anyone knew, they’d laugh me out of the room. I didn’t care. I picked up the phone and bought two sets. One for me and one for my sister Penny. And in that moment, I was not on the Oregon Coast, thousands of miles from my central Pennsylvania hometown, but at our childhood kitchen table, coloring with my big sister. Coloring together was generally a quiet, peaceful time. We sometimes even invited Mary, our imaginary friend, to join us. But there always came that time when Penny, ﬁve years my senior, would spy my eﬀorts, throw down her crayons and threaten to never color with me again. (She also once threw me into the Christmas tree for doing a crappy job decorating.) I started out coloring with the best of intentions, but then, realizing it was never going to turn out as nicely as I’d imagined, I tended to turn a bit manic, racing across the

page, straying outside the lines with a riot of colors that had nothing to do with the subject. Penny, on the other hand, was a natural, filling in the open space in neat, even strokes, staying within the lines, picking just the right colors. As I grew older, I found a bit more patience and began to enjoy coloring purely for the Zen of it, but I never achieved Penny’s skill. Once, while awaiting my flight at an airport, I watched with a certain envy as a group of traveling high school girls sprawled on the floor at the airport gate, coloring books and crayons laid out before them, intent on their efforts as they quietly discussed life. I would have joined in at the merest hint of an invite. But by then I was an adult and coloring was not something adults did. Or so I thought. Coloring books for adults

have been around for decades, according to The New Yorker. But the recent surge in popularity was sparked by the 2013 release of the “Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book.” It has since sold two million copies. “It’s amazing,” says Sheryl Eldridge, supervising librarian at the Newport Public Library. “It’s just taken oﬀ.” So Eldridge, who is in charge of adult programming, decided it’s time to join the fray. On Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 1 to 2:30 pm, the library will host the ﬁrst meeting of the Coastal Colorists Adult Coloring Club. You can bring your own pages and colored pencils or use the library’s. “It’s being promoted as a way to get back to low tech and just relax and do some things that can relieve stress,” Eldridge said. “The thing

about doing it as a group is it will give people a chance to socialize. I plan to play some music in the background and serve tea. Apparently tea is an essential ingredient.” A few weeks after I sent Penny the coloring books, she texted me photos of her work. Meanwhile, my books sat untouched, the pencils still sealed in the pack. It took me a few months to ﬁnally pull out the books and open the pencils — and then another half hour to select the right page. But I am pleased to say, I didn’t rush (too much), I picked appropriate colors and I even stayed inside the lines. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

potpourri

Now that’s what you call recreational pot

Rain is an inescapable, essential, fundamental part of life at the Oregon Coast. And while the seemingly endless deluge that descends upon the coast each fall drives some to madness and others to Arizona — most locals settle for regular doses of a scientifically proven antidote. Rain, meet chowder. Combining cream, salt, starches and seafood to potent, blues-banishing effect, chowder remains the favored winter medication of choice for 9 out of 10 coastal physicians.* And, this weekend, chefs from throughout the Pacific Northwest will present their medicines at the 11th Annual Chowder Cook-Off under a big tent at the Lincoln City Outlets. On the first day of the event, Saturday, Nov. 14, restaurants will compete for the title of best chowder and the People’s Choice Award. Guests can vote for their favorite chowder and help decide which restaurants will take home top honors. Last year’s first place winner, Tiki’s at 51st from Lincoln City, is ready to defend their title this year. Since last year’s cook-off success, Tiki’s chef Julia Karstrom said the restaurant had to upgrade its kitchen to

keep up with the demand for the award-winning chowder, which is based on her mother’s recipe. “It has a spicy kick,” she said. “We also put a lot of clams and bacon into the recipe, which makes it meatier than most chowder.” The Tiki’s chowder will be up against stiff competition this year, in a field that includes fellow Lincoln City entrants Roadhouse 101, Deli 101 and The Culinary Center, as well as Pelican Pub and Brewery of Pacific City, the Sand Dollar Restaurant & Lounge from Rockaway Beach, and Gumbo Goddess Catering from Vancouver,

Washington. The Saturday cook-oﬀ will run from 11 am to 4 pm, with winners announced at 3:45 pm. Saturday guests can also enjoy craft beer and wine from Rusty Truck Brewing while listening to live music from the June Rushing Band and the Ivie-Meziere Trio. There will be plenty of chowder left to enjoy on Sunday, Nov. 15, when the cook-oﬀ will resume from 11 am to 3 pm. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, the Sunday event will feature Tribal entertainment throughout the day. Throughout the weekend, local clamming and crabbing

expert Bill Lackner will be on site to oﬀer tips, while Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop will have a range of desserts and sweets available for sale. Admission to the cookoﬀ is $5 for a one-day pass, which includes a tasting size portion of each chowder. The Lincoln City Outlets are located at 1500 SE East Devils Lake Road. For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org. *This is not true. Most prescribe whisky.

A WAGE-OLD QUESTION Is it possible to live at the Oregon Coast and raise a family on $9.10 an hour? This is the question up for discussion at a Living Wage Community Conversation set for Saturday, Nov. 14, in Lincoln City. Panelists pondering the possible eﬀects of a living wage in Lincoln County will also look at whether small businesses can aﬀord to pay higher wages to their employees and still stay in business.

The event, coordinated by the Outreach and Opening Door Teams of the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, will feature a panel of knowledgeable panelists including State Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian; State Rep. Dave Gomberg; Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall; Hanna Connett, executive director of Family Promise; Dave Price, director of the Small Business Development Center at Oregon Coast Community College;

and Rev. Mike Grogan, pastor of the Congregational Church of Lincoln City. There will be time for questions and answers following the panelist discussion. The event, which is free and open to all, will run from 5 to 6:30 pm in the sanctuary at the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, located at 1760 NW 25th Street. For more information, call 541-9942378.

Don’t go Russian to judgment The Oregon Coast Learning Institute will continue its fall semester on Tuesday, Nov. 17, with presentations on present-day international relations as well as a famed 16th-Century tapestry. At 10 am, Peter Lacques will present “Russia Reexamined,” an exploration of recent actions by the former superpower. “Many of us felt a sense of euphoria at the fall of the Berlin Wall, the demise of the former Soviet Union, and the liberation of much of the world from Soviet oppression; the end of the Cold War,” Lacques said. “There was a great optimistic hope that Russia would join the liberal democracies of the world. Recent events, the invasion of the Crimea, Ukraine, and the internal deprivation of civil rights within Russia has

made the world suspicious the Russians are regressing to the Cold War era.” At 1 pm, Patty Heringer will give a presentation on The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries, a series of six works woven in Flanders from wool and silk at the start of the 16th Century and often considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages. Five of the tapestries illustrate the ﬁve senses, while a sixth gives an enigmatic representation of love. The set is on display in the Musée National du Moyen Age in Paris. The learning institute meets at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, 7760 Hwy. 101, Gleneden Beach. Membership is $75 for the year and guests are always welcome to try one session free.

RESTORATION NATION Get up to Siletz Tribe marks 38th anniversary of federal recognition speed on poetry Just in time for autumn storms and blustery politics, poets Wendy Willis and Nancy Slavin will read at the Art Accelerated pop-up art show in Oceanside on Sunday, Nov. 15. Willis is a poet and essayist living in Portland. Her first book of poems, “Blood Sisters of the Republic,” appeared from Press 53 in 2012, and offers a poetic history missing from the formation annals of the United States — of the women who sewed, cooked, cleaned, labored and reared the children during the country’s creation. Willis has published work New England Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, ZYZZVA, Poetry Northwest, Oregon Humanities and elsewhere. In addition to her poetry career and being a member of the Attic Atheneum faculty in Portland, Willis is the executive director of Kitchen Table Democracy, a national non-profit dedicated to improving democratic governance. Slavin is a writer, English teacher and violenceprevention educator who recently relocated from Tillamook County to the Portland area. She’s a longtime English and writing instructor for Tillamook Bay Community College. Her novel, “Moorings,” was published in 2013 by Feather Mountain Press. Slavin’s new collection of poems, “Oregon Pacific,” is out from Bay City Books. Written over her more than 22 years on the North Oregon Coast, the book

Nancy Slavin

Wendy Willis

explores the possibility for reconciliation of feminine, natural and peace-loving qualities with masculine, material and warfaring values. Replete with storms, salmon and the search for serenity that often accompanies living near the ocean, the poems in “Oregon Pacific” are familiar to coastal-dwellers and visitors alike. More of Slavin’s work can be found in Rain Magazine, Barrelhouse, hip mama, Literary Mama and Oregon Humanities Magazine. Her website is www.nancyslavin. com. The Art Accelerated PopUp Art Show will begin at 3 pm at the Three Arch Inn, 1505 Pacific Avenue, Oceanside.

All are welcome on Saturday, Nov. 14, as the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians holds its annual Restoration Pow-Wow at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. This free event begins with a grand entry at 6 pm. American Indian vendors will be oﬀering jewelry, beadwork and other items for sale throughout the day. This is the 38th year the Siletz Tribe has celebrated the signing of Public Law 95-195, which re-established government-to-government relations between the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the federal government. The Siletz Tribe had been terminated from federal recognition in August 1954. In the late 1960s, it became apparent that the only way to preserve and revitalize Siletz Tribal sovereignty, community and culture was for the Siletz Tribe to regain its status as a Tribe recognized by the United States. In November 1977, after years of intense lobbying, Congress and President Jimmy Carter approved Public Law 95-195, which reinstated recognition of the Siletz as a federal Indian Tribe. The Siletz Tribe was the second in the nation — and the ﬁrst in Oregon — to achieve restoration. Chinook Winds Casino is located at 1777 NW 44th Street.
