Dumb luck and a sharp beak

eagulls are sort of the clowns of the bird world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd them laughable are petriďŹ ed of them for reasons that they often ďŹ nd hard to explain. Having always lived within ďŹ&#x201A;apping range of the coast, I have developed something of a soft spot for seagulls. At high school in Aberdeen, Scotland, my friends and I adopted a baby seagull that used to hang out near the snack bar. Archie, we called him, and would feed him meat pies and sticky buns while the bigger birds werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking. I admired him as a particularly goofy specimen of a species known for its gooďŹ ness; big ďŹ&#x201A;at feet, stick-like legs with knees like knots in a piece of rope, all topped oďŹ&#x20AC; with a ludicrous pinhead sporting a permanently quizzical expression. Patrick Alexander But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just wild nostalgia that got me Editor thinking about seagulls this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was the front-page photo shoot and the perplexing concept of oysters. It was while asking Chef Kent Harrison of Bridges Restaurant in Newport to try juggling with a batch of Willapa Bay oysters to promote the upcoming Oyster Cloyster that I started to worry about what would happen if one fell oďŹ&#x20AC; the deck and hit a passer by. Hard as rock and covered with jaggedy edges into the bargain, one stray oyster could, I feared, spell the end for anyone unlucky enough to stray into its path. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it struck me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how on Earth did anyone come up with the idea of trying to eat an oyster in the ďŹ rst place? What led the ďŹ rst Neanderthal coast dweller to persevere in bashing his kobbly ďŹ nd against a rock long enough for it to reveal its inner bounty? And, upon seeing that the bounty resembled nothing so much as a healthy dose of phlegm, what possessed said Neanderthal to suspect it would make good eatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? This is where the seagulls come in. I propose that at some point in history our gastronomically curious Neanderthal saw a seagull feasting on an oyster and became intrigued. After watching the seagull for a few hours and seeing that it had not dropped down dead, the Neanderthal decided the coast was clear and, voilĂ , that night was oyster night back at the cave. From there it was a mere culinary hop, skip and jump to the Oyster Cloyster, where top chefs adorn the versatile mollusk with everything from bacon champagne mignonette to mango mojo. Why am I so sure that it was a seagull that ďŹ rst discovered oysters were edible, rather than say an otter or a particularly adventurous raccoon? Simple, having time after time observed Archie wolf down an entire meat pie before making a hilariously doomed attempt at take oďŹ&#x20AC;, I am convinced that a seagull is the only creature dumb enough to have spent hours pecking at what was, to all intents and purposes, a rock, in the blind hope that there might be something tasty inside. To that brave, perseverant and ever-so-dumb gull, we oyster fans are in your debt.

A summer spent Russian around Two artists from Oregon Coast Community College will give a presentation on Monday, Nov. 4, detailing their recent trip to recent St. Petersburg, Russia, to study the art of Palekh style painting. Art instructor Julia Goos-Pence and student Melissa Moffitt made the trip this summer to find out more about the process and history of the Palekh style. Palekh is a style of Russian miniature folk painting that is completed on small surfaces such as jewelry boxes and powder cases. The Palekh miniature traditionally represents themes including folklore and fairy tales; historical subjects; and everyday life. The presentation will include details of the pair’s visits to the St. Petersburg Graduate School of Folk Arts and the School of Russian and Asian Studies as well as their exploration of the city and culture. Their trip was funded by the OCCC Foundation through a memorial fund in the name of Dodie Moore, a former resident of Seal Rock and an accomplished painter who studied under a Russian Palekh master. The Nov. 4 lecture will run from 5 to 7 pm in the Dr. Patrick J. O’Connor Community Room at the college’s Newport campus, 400 SE College Way. Goos-Pence and Moffitt will also offer a Russian Miniature Painting workshop from 6:30 to 8 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 5, and Thursday, Nov. 7, providing information about the history of Palekh painting, as well as explaining and demonstrating the technique. All levels of experience are welcome and each participant will be provided materials to create a miniature painted lacquered box. For more information regarding the workshop, call Janice Redford at 541-996-6222.

A peace of advice...

Lama Tsering Gyaltsen

Tibetan Lama Tsering Gyaltsen will visit Newport on Sunday, Nov. 3, to present “Practical Buddhism,” a presentation on how people can incorporate Buddhist wisdom into daily life. Born in western Tibet in 1945, Gyaltsen ﬂed to India with his family at age 16. For six years, he worked for the Dalai Lama as a representative of the Nyingmapa school of Buddhism within the Tibetan government in exile in Dharmasala, India. A lifelong Buddhist practitioner of the Dudjom lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and a learned Buddhist scholar, he holds a Master of Arts degree in Buddhist Studies from the Tibetan Institute of Higher Studies in Varanasi, India. After arriving in the United States in 1996, Gyaltsen directed the creation of the Padma Charitable Foundation in Corvallis, where he serves as head Dharma teacher. He is also a founding director and vice-president of the Saraha Nyingma

Buddhist Institute in Eugene. “I wish to teach peace,” he said. “Peace is not from looking outside. If you have peace on the inside, then you have peace.” The local Dharma group, Newport Yeshe Nyingpo, which is hosting Gyaltsen’s talk, has been sponsoring spiritual teachers since the early ’80s, most of them originally from Tibet. “These incredible lamas, dislocated by the Chinese take-over of their remote mountain monasteries and villages, have come to the West to ﬁnd new homes and students,” said organizer Suzette Bell. “They escaped a regime under which it is a crime to have a picture of the Dalai Lama in their homes.” Gyaltsen’s Nov. 3 talk will run from 1:30 to 3 pm, at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive. Organizers request a donation of $10, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

learn a little Between hell and high water Anyone who has driven through Yachats can understand why the threat of rising oceans might strike a particularly resonant chord in such a low-lying town. So it seems ﬁtting that the Yachats Commons will be the venue for “Global Warming — Between Hell and High Water,” a Wednesday, Nov. 6, presentation by Dr. Kathleen Dean Moore, distinguished professor of philosophy at Oregon State University. As an environmental philosopher, Moore has written extensively about moral, spiritual and cultural relationships to the natural world. Her recent award-winning edited volume, “Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril,” addresses the question, Do we have a moral obligation to the future to leave a world as rich in possibilities as the world we inherited? Her current work applies ecological concepts to the challenges of making a powerful moral response to environmental emergencies. “If we truly understand that we live in complete dependence on an Earth that is interconnected, interdependent, ﬁnite and resilient,” she said, “could we imagine a better set of ideas about our moral responsibilities to one another, to the Earth and to the future?” The Nov. 6 presentation, hosted by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences, will take place at 6:30 pm at the commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge, but organizers request a $5 donation to cover publicity expenses. For more information, call 541-961-6695 or go to www.GoYachats.com.

Liven up your weekend

Anyone who says the coast is dead in the winter has obviously not been to Newport at the start of November. On Saturday, Nov. 2, the Nye Beach neighborhood will hold its second annual Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, celebration. The holiday celebrates the day when preHispanic Mexicans believed that the dead returned each year to visit the living. Although it originated in Mexico, the holiday is celebrated around the world a few days after Halloween. While it is also celebrated with masks and costumes that feature skulls and skeletons and other representations of death, Día de los Muertos represents a very different take on death from that of Halloween. Rather than focusing on fear of death, it celebrates the lives of the departed and invites their returning spirits to party and feast with the living. “It’s about honoring the dead,” said Karen Candelario, one of the organizers of the Newport event, “It’s very, very positive; it’s not a sad thing at all. In many cultures, the layer between the living and the dead is considered to be the thinnest at this time. It’s a way for us to commune in a positive way with the memories of the folks who have moved on.” The Newport celebration, initiated last year by artist and musician Ann Miller, will feature a traditional Día de los Muertos procession, opportunities to privately remember and honor lost loved ones, and a bonfire on the beach. The family-friendly, all-ages community event is drug- and alcohol-free and open to all. Everyone is encouraged to wear traditional Day of the Dead masks or makeup and to come in costume. Everyone is also invited to bring drums or other small acoustic instruments, light sticks, flowers or other offerings for the deceased, and wood for the fire. Participants will gather, rain or shine, at 5 pm in Don Davis Park, at the west end of Olive Street across from the Newport Performing Arts Center. The event will begin with private remembrances, dancers, drumming by members of the Newport Community Drum Circle and other music, and a brief non-denominational group remembrance. The group will proceed together at 6 pm to the Nye Beach Turnaround, near the visual arts center, where a large bonfire is planned with fire dancing and more music and drumming. For more information contact Candelario at 541-265-9500 or ozone669@gmail.com, or Chandler Davis at 541-272-4615 or chandler@ chandlerdavis.com.

Is this a Branagh I see before me? Coastal audiences will get the chance to see Kenneth Branagh tackle his ﬁrst Shakespearean role in more than a decade as National Theatre Live in HD brings “Macbeth” to the big screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center on Friday. Nov. 1. The Manchester International Festival’s production sees Shakespeare’s tale of ambition and treachery in bleak medieval Scotland unfold within the walls of a deconsecrated church. Alex Kingston, familiar to many through her roles in “ER” and “Doctor Who,” plays

the role of the manipulative Lady Macbeth. The play is directed by Rob Ashford, winner of an Olivier Award for “Anna Christie” and a Tony Award for “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” National Theatre Live is an initiative by the UK’s National Theatre to broadcast live performances onto cinema screens around the world. Since its ﬁrst season in 2009, more than 750,000 people have experienced the National’s work on movie screens worldwide.

The Newport screening is sponsored by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and hosted locally by Catherine Rickbone. Local sponsors include the Jeannette Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation and the City of Newport. The Nov. 1 screening runs from 7 to 10 pm at the performing arts center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $15.50 for adults, $12.50 for seniors, and $10.50 for students, are available at the box oﬃce or by calling 541265-ARTS (2787).

Homes for the holidays Tickets are now on sale for the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s annual Holiday Home Tour, featuring homes with majestic views of Yaquina Bay, This fund-raiser tour will take guests to four homes — all decorated for the holidays — and strategically chosen for their views of the bay, including its fishing fleet, the iconic Yaquina Bay Bridge, and surrounding hills. The tour will also include a stop at the recently opened Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center, where vocal and instrumental musicians will provide entertainment while guests

explore the restored building and take a peek at the holiday cakes and breads on oﬀer at the bake sale. The event will be held Saturday, Dec. 7, from 11 am to 4 pm and again on Sunday, Dec. 8, from noon to 4 pm. Proceeds will go toward the symphony orchestra activities, including its Newport Youth Orchestra program, which aims to instill in young people an understanding and appreciation for symphonic music. Tickets, $18 in advance and on $20 the days of the tour, go on sale on Friday, Nov 1, at

Get Slade at Comedy on the Coast

Comedy on the Coast returns to Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Saturday and Sunday, Nov 2 and 3, with headliner Dwight Slade joined on stage by veteran funny girl Susan Rice and host Art Krug. Described by one critic as “part man, part ageless boy,” Slade has a comedic style that combines sarcastic adult indignation with giddy adolescent snickering. He is a man on an odd journey; mocking every stop in his path and conquering every medium along the way. He has appeared on HBO’s My Way Home, the Tonight Show, and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and has released two comedy CDs, “Weird State” and “Shut-up”. Appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe

Festival and Montreal Just For Laughs Festival have helped him develop a reputation as an international funny man. Slade will be joined by Susan Rice, a seasoned comedian with almost 30 years experience of playing to every type of crowd. In her down-to-earth and conversational way, she makes fun of her everyday experiences, herself, and peculiar family members. Rice’s cleanbut-hilarious routine has graced HBO’s Comedy Festival, Showtime Comedy All Stars, and The Las Vegas Comedy Festival, along with many small comedy shows, corporate gigs and conventions. Art Krug is another comedy veteran, having ﬁrst tried his luck on stage in 1983 after deciding that bussing tables at a Mexican restaurant in Portland had

taught him everything he would ever need to know about chips and salsa. Throughout the late ’80s and ’90s, Krug was a regular with The Improvisation Comedy Group that toured throughout America, working with comedians including Drew Carey, Ron White, Jake Johansen and Brian Regan. Over the years, he has performed thousands of shows at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, parties, auditoriums, resorts and outdoor festivals. Doors for the 21-and-over event open at 7:30 pm both nights, with the comedy starting at 8 pm and a no-host bar on hand. Tickets are available for $15 in-person at the box oﬃce, by calling 1-888-MAIN-ACT (624-6228), or online at www.chinookwindscasino.com.

When a restaurant parks a mobile meat-smoking rig the size and shape of a Wild West locomotive outside its front door, barbecue fans find their turn lights coming on as if by magic. The smoker in front of Vivian’s Restaurant & Bill’s Barbecue in Lincoln City acts as a signal to people craving grilled meats that they need drive no further. But one glance at the menu shows that there’s more to this family-owned restaurant than ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The restaurant’s scope and dedication to quality are evident in its success at the Lincoln City Culinary Center cook offs, where it has won medals for dishes as diverse as jambalaya, mushroom flan and chowder. Co-owner Ann Williams said

Seared cod with rice pilaf

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

that, after winning second place in the chowder contest three years in a row, the restaurant will be gunning for gold when the cook off returns to the Tanger Outlet Center on Nov. 8 and 9. Their secret weapon? New chef Jason Jobé, a veteran of more than 30 years in the industry who came on board in July. Jobé has been running kitchens for the past 17 years, from Hawaii to Portland-area country clubs and, most recently, the seafood grill at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. At October’s mushroom cook off, Jobé claimed second place for Vivian & Bill’s with a fourmushroom flan served with a mushroom demi-glace. For next weekend’s contest, he is preparing a thick chowder that foregoes bacon in favor of two types of clam — both sea and cockle. The key, he said, is to find the perfect balance between the clams and the potato. Of mixed French-Cherokee heritage, Jobé brings with him a background in fine dining, which Williams said makes him the perfect fit for the restaurant as it revamps its offerings, with a view to rolling out a new menu in the summer. “There was a lot of room for growth here — to express myself,” Jobé said, adding that he is already trying out new ideas via the restaurant’s specials. Many of the new dishes have a Southern feel, such as barbecue shrimp served over grits with collard greens on the side. Jobé said he is working hard to find the right ingredients

that will allow him to bring fine dining flavor and presentation to the table while still keeping things affordable, with most main courses costing from $12 to $17. He said diners looking for something a little more extravagant will be able to find it on the specials board. “That will be where I get to play a little bit and they would get to experiment themselves,” he said, “maybe step outside the box a little bit and have something they wouldn’t normally have.” Barbecue fans have nothing to fear — Jobé has already fallen in love with the restaurant’s mobile smoking rig and hopes to start setting up at the local farmers market as well as special events throughout town. The rig is fueled by a combination of hickory and apple wood to give a rich flavor without too much smoke, and all the restaurant’s sauces and rubs are house-made from scratch. Jobé adheres to the “low and slow” philosophy of barbecuing, using low heat and long hours to produce everything from handpulled pork and turkey breast to St. Louis-style pork ribs that fall off the bone, to that king of barbecue meats, the brisket.

the favorites while expanding the creativity a little bit,” she said, “and give people the chance to have some upscale comfort food.” Honoring the spirit of the original menu is important for Williams and her co-owner, Monica Beck, sisters who named the restaurant in honor of their parents. Williams said Vivian and Bill met 65 years ago while both working at a restaurant in Portland.

“When they got married, Dad said they would try to get her a restaurant some day for her very own,” she said. “Then they had nine kids and the restaurant idea went down the tubes.” For four and a half years, Vivian, who passed away last month, was a regular ﬁxture in the Lincoln City restaurant that bears her name, chatting with people as they dined on the very same dishes she had served to her daughters years before. “All the recipes are based on what we grew up eating as kids,” Williams said. “These are things we learned to make from our mom.” Vivian’s Restaurant & Bill’s Barbecue is located at 1725 S.W. Hwy. 101, Lincoln City and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 8 am to 4 pm Sunday to Wednesday and 8 am to 8 pm Thursday to Saturday. For more information, call 541994-3667.

So who can blame the folks at Toledo’s First Weekend for calling their November show “Et Cetera,” and using it as an opportunity just to show off the wide variety of art being created in the town? The Yaquina River Museum of Art is the featured location for the Saturday, Nov. 2, and Sunday, Nov. 3, exhibit. The museum will be showing selected pieces from its permanent collection, including watercolors by John Hewitt and Marion Moir; bronzes by Mark deGraffenried, and oils by Don Prechtel, Ivan Kelly, Michael Gibbons, Douglas Haga and Dee Boyles. The museum, located at 151 NE Alder Street, will be open from noon until 5 pm each day of First Weekend. Refreshments will be provided by Friends of the Museum. For more information, call 541-336-1907 or email yrmaoffice@questoffice.net. And, just across the street, Michael Gibbons will be displaying a collection of his works from the estate of Marion Kyelberg. Kyelberg first met Gibbons when she and her husband lived in Portland and began collecting his work in 1991. Later she moved to California, where she enjoyed her retirement and art collection. The group of paintings includes “Storm Over Ventry,” an 8-by-6-inch oil that Gibbons created in 1996 on a painting trip around the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. The exhibit will also include four seascapes of the Oregon Coast, including one of Salishan Spit. Gallery Michael Gibbons is located at 140 NE Alder Street and will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday. Complimentary Oregon wine and cheese will be served. For more information, call 541-336-2797, email michaelgibbonsart@charter.net or go to www.michaelgibbons.net. Fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly will also be showcasing local natural beauty with a rendition of fall colors in “Moonshine Park,” a new piece created on location. Kelly will also

be showing oil paintings of Northwest rams and Rocky Mountain big game animals such his 16-by-20-inch “The Lookout, Black Bear.” Ivan Kelly Gallery-Studio, located at 207 East Graham Street, one block above Main, will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday. For more information, call 541-336-1124, go to www.ivankelly.com or email info@ ivankelly.com. Becky Miller will be featuring new framed giclée prints of her kelp paintings and new works in progress, as well as oils and watercolors of farm animals and flowers. Becky Miller Studio is located at 167 NE 1st Street, nearly a block above Main, and will be open from 10 am to 5 pm both days. For more information, go to www.beckymillerartist.com. Heather Fortner at Sea Fern Studio is best known for her gyotaku fish prints but nature printing can be much more than fish and plants. During the “Et Cetera” show, Fortner will share images created using snakes, spiders, bats, lizards, dragonflies and other creatures befitting the Halloween season. Sea Fern Nature Printing Studio, located in the old Mary Harrison School at 321 SE 3rd Street, will be open from noon to 5 pm both days. Fortner will be demonstrating the monoprinting process with snakes and lizards on Saturday at 2 pm, and will demonstrate nature printing with a Mexican freetail bat on Sunday at 2 pm. For more information, call 541-264-5945, go to www.HeatherFortner.com or email fishprint@gmail.com. Lastly, First Weekend’s new kids on the block at Impressions Pacific will be displaying a mix of handcrafted items made from local driftwood, fine woodcraft, woodburned items, photography, Asian calligraphy, and other original works of art. Impressions Pacific located in The Leader Building at the corner of Hwy 20 and Main Street, will be open from 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday, and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday. For more information, go to www. ImpressionsPacific.com, call 541-336-2207 or email info@ImpressionsPacific.com.

Don’t get weft behind A modern take on an ancient art form will be on display at the Newport Visual Arts Center throughout November and December in an exhibit of tapestries from Astoria-based weaver Cheryl Silverblatt. “From Ancient to New: The Art of Contemporary Tapestry” opens on Friday, Nov. 1 with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm. The exhibit will include a series of three “jewel” tapestries; two tapestries mounted on paper; one tapestry hanging free from a bamboo pole; and “Signaling PEACE” — a collection of woven semaphore flags spelling out the elusive, five-letter word. Most of the pieces are framed without glass for ease of viewing. Tapestry weaving is one of the oldest and most durable forms of handwoven cloth. Tapestries are characterized by weft (the horizontal threads) entirely covering the warp (vertical threads) so that a series of “beads” are created that form images or pictures. While cloth weaving takes the weft yarn from edge to edge, tapestry weaving utilizes multiple weft yarns so that the thread is discontinuous across the piece. Modern tapestry weavers use a range of materials, including wool, silk, cotton, paper, wire, hemp, raffia and jute. Silverblatt said that, while tapestry is one of the most timeintensive forms of weaving, it is also one of the most rewarding. After an early career as a library administrator, Silverblatt learned to weave in Port Townsend, Washington, and went on to spend a year at the Oregon College of Art and Craft in

Portland. Fascinated by tapestry, she enrolled in the intensive, one-year tapestry-weaving program at West Dean College in West Sussex, England, where she earned a post-graduate diploma. Since returning from England, Silverblatt has woven contemporary tapestries in her home studio in Astoria; taught at the Astoria Fiber Arts Academy; organized Coastal Fiberarts 2011 and 2013; and shown in local galleries. She is a founding member of Astoria Fiber Arts Academy and vice president of the Weavers Guilds of Oregon. “My small pieces are not paintings in yarn but are about the interlacement of yarn, warp and weft, to create a textile,” she said. “Particularly, it is the ﬁber, its nature, texture and hand that interests and excites me to weave in abstract motifs, highlighting the special characteristics of wool, silk or linen. Weaving row by row, making cloth and image at the same time is tapestry weaving. Exploring contemporary themes and materials while creating a textile is my passion, an ancient art made modern.” Silverblatt’s work is being displayed as part of the Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase, a series sponsored by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, featuring mid-career artists who live in Oregon’s seven coastal counties. The exhibit is on the second ﬂoor of the visual arts center, located at 777 NW Beach Drive at the Nye Beach Turnaround. For more information, go to www.coastarts.org or call Sally Houck at 541-265-6569.

Play a game of duck, duck… duck When it comes to decoys, Frank Werner is the real deal. The Idaho-based woodworker has been making decoy ducks for 30 years, starting out with the sole aim of creating good hunting aids but evolved to embrace the artistic and cultural aspects of his craft. “An Art of Deception,” an exhibit featuring many of Werner’s works opens on Friday, Nov. 1, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Werner said the earliest-known decoys, created from tule rush, date back almost 1,200 years and that several diﬀerent carving traditions have emerged across the US. “My birds follow a ‘Western Tradition’ in visual form,” he said, “an eclectic mix of formal elements drawn from older established regional traditions. Mine have the ﬂat bottoms, keels and hard chines so common to decoys from the upper Midwest. My divers, the canvasbacks, scaup and redheads have the

elegant Chesapeake-style heads riding atop chunky coastal Carolina bodies. Mallard, pintail and wigeon heads, as in New England stool, assume a variety of attitudes. Their bodies, above the waterline, resemble decoys of the upper Delaware River.” Born and raised in New York City, Werner moved to Idaho in 1974 after 20 years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps. He began making decoys without much thought to anything other than hunting ducks. In 1983, the Idaho Commission on the Arts began a survey of folk arts and folk artists in the state and he was “discovered and cataloged.” In 1984, the commission borrowed three of his ducks for a traveling folk arts exhibition. Werner is still involved with the commission to this day, working as a master artist for the Idaho Traditional Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program. He said his experience with the Idaho Folk Art exhibition brought him into

contact with the contemporary arts community and was the start of a crosscultural engagement that has proved both productive and aesthetically satisfying. Werner said his art straddles the fence between traditional and contemporary arts and, in doing so, questions the validity of any such distinction. His work has earned him two fellowships from the Idaho Commission on the Arts Visual Arts; an honorable mention; and the Idaho Governor’s award for Excellence in the Arts. He has also written numerous articles for publications including Art Matters, Artifact Magazine and Wildfowl Art. The exhibit, sponsored by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will run throughout Nov. 30 in the Upstairs Gallery of the visual arts center at 777 NW Beach Drive. It is open to view from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Sunday. For more information, go to at www. coastarts.org or call Sally Houck at 541265-6569.

Cole to fuel Hoffman Center

Acclaimed stage and screen actress Liz Cole will perform a benefit reading at The Hoffman Center in Manzanita on Thursday, Nov. 7. Cole described the show, “Storytime for Grownups,” as a collection of “great, funny, and moving pieces that I feel passionate about.” An accomplished stage actor, Cole has become a familiar face to many through guest-star appearances on TV shows including Seinfeld, ER, Star Trek, The Practice, Judging Amy and Las Vegas. Cole originated the leading role in Margaret Edson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama “Wit” in 1995, for which she received the L.A. Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Outstanding Performance. She also tours with “The Wisdom of Wit,” her solo version of the play. A Manzanita resident, Cole worked with Mark Beach and Portland playwright Ellen West to develop the solo play “Lost Pioneer,” based on the lives of three women who homesteaded in Tillamook County in the 1890s. This will be her first staged reading at The Hoffman Center since 2010. The Nov. 7 reading will begin at 7 pm at The Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue, with doors opening at 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be served. There is a suggested donation of $5 and all proceeds will go to support the center’s programs.

Crack a spine at the hospital With the amount of mayhem and peril that follows the footsteps of his crime-solving alter ego, it is little wonder that Oregon Coast author Ron Lovell is a strong supporter of hospitals. Lovell, whose long-running series of Thomas Martindale mysteries sees the mild-mannered journalism professor tackle everything from international terrorists to Mexican drug cartels, will be signing copies of his books to beneﬁt the Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital Auxiliary on Wednesday, Nov. 6. From 7 am to 4 pm in the hospital cafeteria, Lovell will be signing books from the Martindale Mystery Series, including the newest and ninth

book in the series, “Murder in the Steens.” The sale will also feature holiday-themed books, children’s books, local authors, new authors, new releases and gift items. Purchases can be made with cash or check. Free gift wrapping will be available and there will be a free drawing for two gift packs. The auxiliary, which is hosting the event in cooperation with Bob’s Beach Books, will receive 20 percent of the proceeds from the sale, with the funds going toward equipment purchases and scholarships for local students and staﬀ. For more information, contact Kathy Stuart at 503-539-4404.

NOVEL APPROACH Make the most of those long, dark nights with National Novel Writing Month By Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

he assignment to write this article about locals participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) came from the TODAY editor just a few days before it was due. For me, that’s a tight deadline. I had six days to write 700 words. There was much whining and gnashing of teeth. The nearly half a million writers expected to participate in NaNoWriMo 2013 worldwide would laugh at my plight. Those that take part in the event attempt to write a complete novel of 50,000 words in 30 days. That’s 1,667 words per day, compared to my 116. I am suddenly feeling pathetic. NaNoWriMo participants, most of whom are not professional writers, commit to certain rules. The novel must be original and brand new. Writers can start at midnight on November 1, and must upload their finished product, for a word count and proof of completion, to NaNoWriMo’s web site by midnight on November 30. To earn a certificate of completion, writers must have hit the minimum of 50,000 words. Editing is discouraged in order to encourage free flow of words on to the page. “We call it kamikaze novelling,” said Nikki Atkins, Lincoln County’s NaNoWriMo municipal liaison. This approach enables writers to get their ideas, even questionable or nonsensical ones, down on paper, to be edited later (“That’s what December’s for,” said Atkins).

NaNoWriMo provides support, writing prompts, forums and more online at nanowrimo.org, and the local “chapters” (pun intended) provide encouragement and assistance as well. Atkins, a NOAA employee at the Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center, said about 250 people aﬃliate with the Lincoln County group on the NaNoWriMo web site. Participation in live local write-ins varies from year to year from one to a dozen or so writers. In its biggest year, the local group came in third in the world for average number of words written per participant. As the local municipal liaison, Atkins is part cheerleader and part drill sergeant.

She provides word count reminders, writing prompts and challenges via social media, as well as organizing local write-ins where writers can gather for quiet writing time, consultation with others and encouragement. Sometimes during the write-ins Atkins will introduce activities like “word sprints,” in which she awards a prize to the writer who writes the most words in 15 minutes. She also puts together swag bags of prizes to those that show up for the in-person sessions and organizes a wrap-up party for Lincoln County participants when the whole ordeal is over. This year’s local write-ins will be on Sundays throughout November, from 10 to 11:30 am at the Bayscapes Gallery & Coﬀee Shop at 333 SW Bay Blvd. on the Newport Bayfront. Atkins is participating in the event for the tenth time this year. She has four

completed fantasy novels under her belt, having combined the results of some pairs of NaNoWriMo efforts into single books. She works full time, sings in a local choir and is frequently on stage in community theater productions — including a show that opens partway through NaNoWriMo this year. Denise Parker, also a NOAA employee and a fantasy/science fiction writer, commutes twice a week to Newport from Philomath and has two young kids at home. If these busy women can do it, writing a little bit every day, anyone can. The pair offered a few tips for emerging victorious from NaNoWriMo. First, as mentioned, don’t edit as you go. Save your draft to an online storage service like Google Docs so it can be accessed from anywhere. To avoid writer’s block, try stopping for the day in the middle of an exciting passage, like a battle scene, so it’s easier to get going the next day. Skip to the end and work backwards — you can fix the continuity problems later. At the end of November, participants bask in the glow of a major accomplishment. “You get to the end of the month and you realize your characters are going in directions you never anticipated that are often much more interesting that what you planned,” Atkins said. She added, “No matter if you write fifty thousand words this November, or ten thousand, or even just one thousand, those are words that did not exist before.” Want to give it a try? Sign up at nanowrimo.org — it’s free. Or, contact Atkins directly at MLbrightshadowsky@ gmail.com or 541-351-8765. The local group is on Facebook as well at www.facebook.com/ groups/LCWrimos.

Newport symphony takes the Fifth

They don’t take up much space on the page, but those first four notes of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony have, in the 200 years since they were written, become a kind of shorthand for classical music, dramatic intensity and even the notion of culture itself. The symphony, regarded by many as the most influential classical work ever, will be the highlight of the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s “Tragedy and Triumph” performances on Saturday, Nov. 2, and Sunday, No. 3, at the Newport Performing Arts Center. “Concert-goers in Newport will be delighted as the orchestra, directed by Adam Flatt, digs lustily into the varied music, now menacing, now melodic, and driving toward a magnificent conclusion,” said symphony Board President Michael Dalton. “The performance is sure to be a topic of conversation among lovers of music on the Oregon Coast.” The concert will also honor the centenary of English composer Benjamin Britten by playing excerpts from his 1945 opera “Peter Grimes,” which depicts the sea in its various moods, from violent storms to serene beauty. The excerpts will include the “Four Sea Interludes” and the “Passacaglia,” featuring the orchestra’s principal violist, Shauna Keyes. The Saturday, Nov. 2, performance will begin at 7:30 pm; with the Sunday, Nov. 3, matinée starting at 2 pm, both at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, priced at $34 and $20, or $10 for students, can be purchased at the Newport Performing Arts Center box office, by phone at 541-265-ARTS, or online at NewportSymphony. org. The orchestra’s silver jubilee year will continue with concerts on Dec. 7 and 8; Jan. 25 and 26; and March 29 and 30.

in concert

Celebrate — step by step Forget phone-tapping scandals — it’s time to lace up your toe-tapping sandals and celebrate the Celtic New Year with an evening of music, dance and laughter at Harvest by the Sea in Toledo. Returning for its third year, the Celtic Heritage Alliance fund-raiser will see acclaimed Celtic trio Bróg Crua take to the stage to perform an Irish house concert and lead dancers through the steps for a traditional Irish céilí. A form of group dance, the céilí (pronounced kay-lee) requires no previous dancing experience and anyone can join in, or simply sit and enjoy the music. Fresh-baked goods and beverages will also be available for purchase. Directing the toe-tapping activities at the Saturday, Nov. 2, event will be the group’s caller, Maldon Meehan, an internationally renowned instructor in sean-nós — a traditional Irish style of unaccompanied singing — and one of only a handful of sean-nós dance instructors in the nation. Meehan was born in Portland and began dancing as a teenager. She now operates a dance studio in Portland and travels the globe to perform and teach her craft. She is joined on stage by Félim Egan on accordion and vocals; and Erik Killops on the fiddle. The three combine their musical skills with a good dose of Irish humor. Egan was born in Ballinasloe, in Ireland’s County Galway. His father’s passion for music and encouragement led him to begin lessons at the age of four. His many musical influences include Matt Molley, Tommy Peoples, Charlie Lennon and Frankie Gavin, to mention a few. Killops is a Portland native who began playing fiddle aged six and began Irish fiddle lessons with Dan Compton in the 4th grade. He was influenced by the playing of local

musicians such as Kevin Burke, Johnny Cunningham and Johnny Connolly as well as bands such as Patrick Street and the Bothy Band. In 2006, he began studying Irish music at the University of Limerick under the tutelage of top-notch ﬁddlers such as Tommy Peoples and Frankie Gavin. This concert is a fund-raiser for the Celtic Heritage Alliance, which stages the annual Celtic Festival & Highland Games in Newport. The Nov. 2 event, part-sponsored by the historic Yaquina Bay Hotel, will take place at 6:30 pm at the newly renovated Flowerree Community Center at 321 SE 3rd Street, Toledo. Tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for youth aged 7-16 and are available at www.newportcelticfestival.com. For more information, call Susan Spencer at 541-5749366.

Escape from the daily grind The Lincoln City Cultural Center’s Sunday, Nov. 3, Coﬀee Concert will have a distinctly coﬀeehouse feel, featuring an acoustic performance from Eugene-based singer/songwriter duo, Jackie & Jason. Jackie Jae and Jason Cowsill have been performing together for the past six years, building two bands and getting married — to each other — along the way. With their rock ‘n roll band “The Blue Valentines” they keep crowds dancing to yesteryear favorites, while their original alt-Americana band “Troupe Carnivàle” transports the listener to a world of desert crossroads, traveling fairs and

carnivals. Their debut album “Skaal Krush” was released in May 2013. In this special matinée performance, they’ll distill it all down to one guitar and two voices, presenting a harmony-driven blend of the past, present, and future. The Sunday, Nov. 3, concert will start at 3 pm, with admission including a dessert by Rockfish Bakery and coffee by the Cape Foulweather Coffee Company. Tickets are $10 each, on sale now at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-9949994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Where you are, who you are

hat compels someone to move to the Oregon Coast? A great notion? A lark? A mission to reclaim one’s soul or integrity? An obsession with green? Retirement? Love? Loss of love? A job? Losing a job? An existential crisis? An automobile breakdown? A decision to take Highway 101 instead of Interstate 5? An awareness that human plasma is synonymous with the ocean? A lucid line of poetry from an opaque poem of the sea? An article? A photograph? Repeated viewing of “The Goonies?” A dream? A subconscious invitation from an aquatic archetype? A message in or from a bottle? A message from a god? A constellation that marked you as a water sign? Every time I meet new settlers to the Coast I always ask why they moved here. Over the years I’ve heard a hundred reasons, (including all of the above) each one simultaneously unique and a cliché. These reasons interest me and I continue to catalog them, but what interests me more as a writer and amateur anthropologist is learning how the transplants embraced the Oregon Coast. I mean, did they become someone else? Did they improve or at least redeﬁne? Did they scratch the rippled surface of living here? Many newcomers did. Others did not. They bought umbrellas, ate farmed salmon, installed more riprap, never built a driftwood fort nor ﬂied a kite on the beach, and paid to tan. Eventually they left,

disoriented and defeated. They blamed the rain, but I sense something else was the culprit. As either Gary Snyder or Wendell Berry once wrote, “If you don’t know where you are, you don’t who you are.” I bring all this up because in recent months I have marveled at one man’s dramatic embrace of the Oregon Coast. As regular readers of the column may remember, six months ago I recounted the story of Dan and Sally. Dan moved to the Oregon Coast from Portland because he needed a big change and to heal Sally, a pit bull he rescued from a shelter after she had been badly mauled in a dog ﬁghting operation and left for dead on a Hillsboro street. Dan lives a few houses away from me and we have become fast friends, often taking our dogs to the beach together and debating the merits of caring about University of Oregon football. Witnessing Sally’s ongoing recovery from her psychic trauma has utterly astonished me. It’s almost a miracle to behold and provides me with indescribable joy. She has taken to the Oregon Coast and become a new dog. I could say the same about her owner, although in his case, a new man. In my 17 years of living here, I have never seen anyone embrace this place like Dan has. Frankly, he inspires me. On almost a daily basis, when he’s not working full time from his home, Dan regales me with his tales of ﬁshing the South Jetty at midnight, meeting Oregon Tavern Age men

and women in the outdoors, memorizing the tides, surﬁng Agate or South Beach whenever perfect or mediocre waves emerge, riding his bicycle on the beach to Beaver Creek, crabbing in Alsea Bay, ﬁshing for ocean perch, collecting agates and limpets, and running, walking and sashaying with Sally on his local sand. He occasionally asks if I want to toss the football around down at the beach. He once even harvested mole crabs and tried a recipe he found online! (They weren’t very good.) Sally always joins him in the adventures. He never leaves her behind. Think back to the quote: “If you don’t know where you are, you don’t who you are.” Dan knows where he is. He devoured the essence of living on the Oregon Coast; he barbecued its marrow and ate it without tartar sauce. And by doing so, I think Dan has come to know who he really is and wants out of life. I can’t imagine him living anywhere else. To employ a football metaphor Dan might appreciate, he went deep down the middle, outran the rat race coverage, embraced the long pass in the rain, and scored the silent touchdown that never ends. Matt Love lives with his husky, Sonny. His latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,” is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores. He can be reached at lovematt100@yahoo.com.

artsy A vintage presentation at the Coastal Arts Guild Mixed-media artist Frances VanWert will give a presentation at the Coastal Arts Guild Nov. 7 lunch, sharing her theory that abstract art is an acquired taste, like fine wine. VanWert said her process for creating compositions that emphasize color, shape and texture involves refining and reorganizing a realistic image or a mental concept to reveal the essence of a subject, without regard for its physical appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pure design without apparent reference to a subject,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abstract art creates visual

Harlem takes flight

High-ďŹ&#x201A;ying slam dunks, dazzling ballhandling tricks and hilarious comedy routines will be on oďŹ&#x20AC;er on Saturday, Nov. 9, when the Harlem Ambassadors bring their unique brand of basketball to the new Waldport High School. The event, organized in partnership with the Yachats and Waldport Lions clubs and the Waldport High School Boosters Club, will help raise funds for new athletic programs at the school. Ambassadors Coach LadĂ¨ Majic said the team brings a positive message to kids as well as giving them a few good laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At our shows, we want the kids to know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of our team too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuďŹ&#x20AC; we do.â&#x20AC;? Ambassadors President Dale Moss said he

is very proud of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record, performing more than 200 shows each year and raising millions of dollars for good causes including Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs and the American Red Cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good to be able to provide quality entertainment and create memories that the fans will take with them,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to give even more when we can help provide funding for a Habitat for Humanity house or new computers for the school library, and that feels great.â&#x20AC;? The Nov. 9 game starts at 7 pm in the gymnasium of the new high school at 320 Lower Crestline Drive. Admission is $5, with kids aged four and under admitted free. Tickets are on sale now at Eclectic Hair & Nail Salon and Chucks Waldport Video in Waldport; A Cut Above Salon, Mariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Store and Ya-hots Video in Yachats; and online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/466271.
