Not a black and white issue The Bijou Theatre’s fall film series continues on Sunday and Monday, Oct. 13 and 14, with a screening of the controversial documentary “Blackfish” at the Newport Performing Arts Center. This eye-opening documentary directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite centers on Tilikum, a notorious orca performer who has taken the lives of several people while in captivity. Among those interviewed in the film are Newport resident John Crowe, who was once involved in capturing baby orca whales from Puget Sound and is now a strong advocate for protection of the species. Crowe will be attending the screenings both nights and will do a brief Q&A afterwards. The movie will screen at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday at the performing arts center, 777 W Olive Street. Tickets are $7.50 for adults and $7 for seniors, students or Oregon Coast Council for the Arts members.

Let’s do the time warp again

Tickets are now on sale for a much-beloved Lincoln City institution, making a welcome return after a one-year hiatus. The Bijou Theatre will once again celebrate Halloween with a midnight performance of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Saturday, Oct. 26. The show, which sees performers from Portland’s Clinton Street Cabaret act out the on-screen action at the front of the theater, has been a regular occurrence at the Bijou for more than 10 years. Bijou co-owner Betsy Altomare said last year’s show had to be canceled because 20th Century Fox had made the move to all-digital and the Bijou did not have the equipment to project the movie. After upgrades backed by a successful fundraising campaign, the Bijou is ready to do the time warp again. And audience members can be WHAT: “The Rocky assured that the Horror Picture Show” cabaret stars know midnight showing the material, havWHERE: Bijou Theatre, ing performed the 1624 NE Hwy 101, show every week Lincoln City non-stop for the WHEN: Midnight, past 35 years.

The whole event is rated R, with no one under 17 admitted without a parent or guardian. Advance tickets area available, priced at $8 and a can of food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry. Tickets on the door cost $10 and a can of food. “We have always been pleased at the thousands of pounds that have come from Rocky Horror fans;” said co-owner Keith Altomare. “We look forward to having fun and breaking food donation records since the need is so great.” For more information, stop by the Bijou at 1624 NE Hwy 101 in Lincoln City, go to cinemalovers.com or call 541-994-8255.

Returning to an old haunt “Ghost of a Chance” sees Wes Ryan back in the director’s chair at Theatre West Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Trevor Schnabel as Chance, getting used to his ghostly status

Oregon Coast TODAY

As anyone who has had the chance to wander around its labyrinthine prop room will tell you, Lincoln City’s Theatre West is one seriously haunted place. And, this fall, that phantom presence is making its way on to the stage in the form of “Ghost of a Chance,” a supernatural comedy by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus. The play centers on Bethany, a bright, strong, independent, beautiful woman with absolutely no self esteem, who has recently become engaged after the death of her first husband, Chance, in a hunting accident. The action begins when she brings her fiancé, Floyd, and his mother, Verna, up to the woodland cabin where accident happened, hoping to find closure. But her presence in the cabin has the opposite effect, bringing Chance back from beyond. These ghostly shenanigans mark Theatre West veteran Wes Ryan’s return to directing after almost 20 years. Ryan, whose has maintained a presence on stage with appearances in plays including “The Supporting Cast” and “Murdered to Death,” said his schedule has now opened up enough to allow him to commit the time to directing again. “Also,” he said, “I’m getting older and it’s getting harder to find parts that fit.” The director’s cap, however, seems to fit just fine, with Theatre West President Stina Seeger-Gibson ask-

ing Ryan if he would direct “Ghost of Chance” in addition to the play he had originally sought to helm “The Big Five-Oh.” Despite the fact that it meant setting himself up for almost back-to back runs, Ryan said he jumped at the chance to direct the spooky caper. “I just thought the characters were great. I thought the premise was cute,” he said. “And, if we can pull it off right, it’s an extremely funny play.” The trick, Ryan said, is to get the cast firing on all cylinders to deliver the rapid-fire dialog that keeps the play bubbling along from the ghost’s first appearance to the dramatic finale. Having one of the characters being invisible and inaudible to almost everyone else on the stage creates great opportunities for comedy while also demanding spot-on timing to keep the script crackling. Ryan has some firsthand experience in this area, having played the ghost of Shakespearean actor John Barrymore many years ago in “I Hate Hamlet.” “Some of the things I remember that ghost doing, this ghost does,” he said. The job of bringing Chance the ghost to life, so to speak, falls to Theatre West newcomer Trevor Schnabel. Rashelle Fender plays the traumatized Bethany, with Riley Lozano

filling the role for the weekend of Oct. 17 to 19 due to a scheduling conflict. Theatre West stalwart Rich Emery plays Bethany’s fiancé, Floyd, with fellow veteran Susanna Hiltman-Rich playing his mother, Verna, who makes her distaste for both Bethany and the cabin clear from the opening scene. Also in the mix are Debbie Hendrickson as Crystal, the moon child, sort-of-medium who can see Chance all too clearly; and Danny Roberson as Adam, Chance’s accountant, who wants to buy the cabin for reasons that become clear during the play. The cabin itself has been lovingly brought to life by Dennis Gibson and his crew, with Ryan providing the finishing touches along with his

assistant director — and granddaughter — Danielle Ryan. But the room’s centerpiece, an imposing river rock fireplace, comes courtesy of Julio Reyes at The Dorchester House Retirement Residence, who crafted the piece from paper mache and part of an old television set. Shelby Barton is lights and sound technician. The play opens on Thursday, Oct. 10, and will be performed each Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening through Saturday, Nov. 2, running a little over two hours. On performance days, the box office is open at 2 pm the doors open at 7:30 pm and the curtain goes up promptly at 8 pm. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City.

Tickets for the show are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors aged 62 and up and for students over 12; and $8 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $9 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. Advance reservations for all performances are recommended and can be made by calling 541-994-5663. Leave a message and someone will call you back. Theatre West is a non-profit, all volunteer community dating back to 1975. Membership is open to all with dues at $10 per year for individuals, $5 for students, $12.50 for couples and $15 for families. For more information about the theatre, go to www. theatrewest.com.

“Hamlet” — the pinnacle of Shakespearean tragedy; the ultimate test for every great male thespian from John Gielgud to Liev Schreiber; a play that has become a byword for serious drama and gravitas the world over. Not in this town. “The Little Theater’s Production of Hamlet,” which takes to the stage in Yachats on Friday, Oct. 11, tells the story of what happens when a New York director tries to bring the Bard’s classic tale of treachery and revenge to coal country. Fresh from a successful Off Broadway season, sophisticated city slicker Lauren reluctantly agrees to direct “Hamlet” in rural West Virginia as part of a grant-funded program to bring culture to under served regions. Her misgivings prove well founded when only six people turn up at the casting call held at Hattie’s Restaurant, the most enthusiastic being 23-year-old Mona, who has always dreamed of playing Ophelia. Also among the recruits is 74-year-old restaurant owner Hattie Johnson, who launched the grant application to see Mona get a crack at her dream. Rounding out the group is a coal truck driver besotted with Mona; two waitresses in their 40s with no acting experience; and the vice president of the local bank, who has been ordered to turn up. Staged by One of Us Productions, this play within a play sees director Robbie Schoonover on familiar territory, tackling a tale of the challenges of bringing theater to a small town. Schoonover said she came across the play while searching through the Samuel French catalog and was struck by the similarities between the nameless Appalachian town and Yachats. “We are always looking to get so many grants,” she said. Founded in 1995 as a dinner theater experience, One of Us has evolved into a non-profit

Grab a Danish in Yachats See the sweeter side of Hamlet in this small town romp By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

community theatre group that has given back more than $55,000 to good causes in the community. Written by Jean Battlo, “The Little Theater’s Production of Hamlet” unfolds into a tale of triumph over adversity as the mismatched cast struggle to learn their lines and deal with their offstage dramas, while teaching the haughty Lauren a thing or two about life in the real world. And, while the fictional Lauren is presented with a motley crew of would-be actors, Schoonover said she is very happy with her real-life cast, which contains a good balance of experience and newcomers’ enthusiasm. David Cowden, Johnni Price and Kathy Elbert are newcomers to the area as well as to One of Us Productions, with Price and Elbert bringing theatrical experience. They join Linda Curtice, Dean Peterson, Jacquee Christnot and Bob Barber, all veterans of previous productions. Competing the cast is 13-year-old Nina McDonald, a participant in the recent One Of Us Productions Theater Camp. With the cast working so well together, Schoonover said her main challenge is handling the play-within-a-play format in such a way that the audience can see what’s going on. With the stage at the Yachats Commons transformed into Hattie’s Restaurant, the “Hamlet” rehearsals then take place on a smaller stage set up within, measuring just four feet by eight. Things get even more complicated during the “Hamlet” scene in which a group of traveling players arrive at the castle to act out the king’s murder — meaning the audience get a brief glimpse of a play within a play… within a play. “It’s basically nonsense,” Schoonover said, but added that you just haven’t lived until

you’ve heard someone say ‘to be or not to be’ in a broad Appalachian accent. The play opens on Friday, Oct. 11, with a gala performance accompanied by drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction including original paintings, jewelry and quilts. Doors open at 6 pm and tickets are $35 apiece, with $10 going to support One of Us Productions and the other $25 supporting the work of the Yachats Youth and Families Activity Program. There will be also performances at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Saturday, Oct. 26, as well as a matinée at 2 pm on Sunday, Oct. 20. Tickets are $10 apiece. All performances are at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. To book tickets, call 541-547-4599.

Caps off to this cook off If, when you picture a mushroom, you see one of the neat, white, bulbous specimens known to flourish in supermarket aisles across the U.S., you are missing out. Fortunately, the 5th Annual Pacific NW Wild Mushroom Cook-Off is here to expand your horizons as chefs from all over Oregon whip up recipes using wild mushrooms including Chanterelles, Boletes, Lobsters, Oysters, Morels, Matsutakes, Cauliflowers and many more.

Party and harvest — combined

Neskowin Valley School will hold its 31st annual harvest festival on Saturday, Oct. 12, with the whole community invited to celebrate the onset of fall with live music, fresh-pressed apple cider and home-baked goods. The festival will also include a silent auction, art and craft vendors, carnival style children’s activities, a gently used book and toy sale, storyteller hours, pumpkin decorating, a haystack to play in and, if the weather co-operates, pony rides from Green Acres Equestrian Center. “We are going all out this year,” Head of School Chris Schau said. “Our parents have been working nonstop to bring the community a fun and festive event that everyone will want to attend.” Schau said the school is particularly excited to be partnering with the Pelican Pub and Brewery to include a beer garden at this year’s event. “To complement the beer garden, the Slab Creek Grill will serve up pulled pork sand-

wiches and dogs with ‘kraut,” he said. “We want everyone to feel welcome and to come join us and help support our school.” The harvest festival is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the independent pre-K and elementary school, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. In addition to a silent auction, the school is holding two raffles, one for a beautiful handpieced quilt by Lincoln City quilter Pat Lay, with tickets priced at $5 each; and one for a two-night stay and spa package at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, with tickets $10 apiece. The festival runs from 10 am to 5 pm at the school, 10005 Slab Creek Road just south of Neskowin. Children’s performances from local dance troops and a martial arts demonstration will take place from 10:30 am to 1 pm; storytelling hours start at 11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm; and a woodcarving demonstration will take place

at 11:30 am. The beer garden opens at noon and there will be live music from 2 to 5 pm. The Slab Creek Grill and Bakery Café will be serving food all day.

Cod almigh ty Go deep this fall with a lingcod expedition Story and photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

A

s punctuation marks go, the storm that marked the end of Chinook salmon season and the start of lingcod season on the Central Oregon Coast was emphatic. Two days of torrential rain and gale-force winds tossed and scoured and shook the ocean like a child with an Etch-a-sketch, leaving it clear, calm and looking brand new. Weighing in at up to 80 pounds when fully grown, lingcod present a fine challenge to keep deep sea fishers busy all the way through fall and winter. With a scheduled departure time of 7:30 am, preparations for my own lingcod expedition aboard the Samson out of Depoe Bay start the night before. I lay out the thermal underwear, rain jacket, beanie hat, sun block and sunglasses. Smearing on sun block right after putting a pair of long johns in the dark feels somehow wrong but makes a lot of sense. Even if you do remember to bring sun block with you, the chances that you will want to tear yourself away from fishing for long enough to apply

are slim. Arriving at Depoe Bay’s Dockside Charters at 7 am, I get a cup of coffee and step on board. Captain Lars Robison and his deckhand, Cole, have a full house today — 14 fishers coming from Sherwood, Eugene, Springfield and Washington state, ranging from beginner to expert. I myself fall squarely into the beginner category, a veteran of just two fishing trips. The first involved catching a piranha on the Amazon using a line tied to a stick. It’s a long story, but suffice it to say, there’s not much eatin’ on a piranha. It’s mostly teeth. The second trip, a rockfish expedition out of Depoe Bay, reaped greater rewards, with beginner’s luck helping me haul six or seven black rockfish aboard. That success was, however, twinned with pretty severe seasickness that caused me to offset my ocean withdrawals with three contributions over the side. For weeks afterward, while enjoying rockfish fillets in all manner of recipes, I so associated the odor of diesel with being

unwell that the smell of my own car made me sick. This time, my dawn preparations included a couple of motion sickness pills in an effort to prevent a repeat display. One of the great attractions of fishing out of Depoe Bay is the harbor itself. Nicknamed ‘the hole in the wall,’ its entrance is a terrifyingly narrow gap in a wall of basalt rock. Less than a minute after maneuvering us off the dock, Captain Lars guides us effortlessly through that gap, giving us a fine view of the Depoe Bay Bridge above and the wide, flat ocean ahead — indigo in the first glimmers of dawn.

to peak over the coast range, bathing us in glorious sunshine that will last throughout the six-hour trip and soon has us all peeling off layers of Gortex and fleece to fish in our t-shirts. Ling cod run in deep waters, so we are heading out about 14 or 15 miles where we will be dropping our lines to depths between 400 and 650 feet to try and snag one. To get a hook to sink to that depth we are using 26-ounce lead weights. That, combined with the weight of so much water on top means the first trick is just figuring out when you’ve got a fish on your line in the first place. More than once, I reeled all the way to the top to find that what felt like a whopper was just my bare hook starting back at me. At our first stop, it’s not long before the cry of “fish on!” begins to ring around the boat. As the lucky anglers bring their lings to the surface, Lars or Cole rush over with a net to scoop them out of the water. They then remove the hook and apply what one passenger called “a gentle anesthetic” with a stout club before putting them in a tote. A few yellowtail rockfish also find their way into the totes, having grabbed at the hooks before they reached the bottom. We are told to watch out for the distinctive, sherbet orange-colored canary rockfish — a protected species that are currently off limits. Unfortunately, a fisher has no way of knowing that the fish on his line is a canary until it is all the way to the surface, by which time the unfortunate creature’s swim bladder has over-expanded, making survival very unlikely. Sometimes they can recover and make it back down but mostly they remain floating on the surface, with seagulls feasting on the choicest parts and the rest becoming a meal for other fish or sea lions. I pull up two canaries at the first stop but on my third try, I get lucky. It’s a ling cod. It fights all the way to the top, where I look it right in the beady eye before making a rookie mistake. I pull the head clear of the water, depriving the fish of oxygen and causing it to — exContinued on next page

No more craning for a good view The Audubon Society of Lincoln City will hold its annual bird watching paddle on Beaver Creek on Saturday, Oct 12, providing a great opportunity to spot birds that are difficult to view from the trails. The two-mile paddle meanders up the Beaver Creek valley, offering the chance to see year round residents including raptors, terrestrial birds and waterfowl, as well as fall migrants. The trip will be led by Dawn Harris, supervising park ranger of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, and Mark Elliott, an experienced birder who has led many of the society’s trips. No prior birding experience is required, and binoculars and guidebooks will be provided. Participants will need to bring their own kayaks or canoes, weather appropriate clothing, safety gear and watercraft permits. Non-motorized watercraft 10 feet or longer require a permit which helps fund invasive species control. Permits are available at Bi-Mart in Lincoln City and other outlets that sell Oregon boating and fishing licenses. The group will launch at 9 am from Ona Beach State Park, eight miles south of Newport. At milepost 148.9 on Hwy. 101, turn east on North Beaver Creek Road and take immediate right into the parking area. For more information, call 541-992-0440. Audubon Society of Lincoln City offers free birding field trips with experienced trip leaders on the second Saturday of most months during the year. Beginning birders are welcome and carpooling is usually an option.

The sphere factor Buried treasure certainly has its allure but talk about hard work. Anyone who has tried simply walking in dry sand can tell you that trying to dig up a long-buried casket packed with rubies and gold doubloons is really going to take a chunk of time out of your weekend. Much more convenient to find your booty waiting for you on top of the sand in an easy-to-carry bundle – and that’s precisely what Lincoln City’s dedicated team of float fairies are offering as Finders Keepers returns for its 15th year on Sunday, Oct. 13. The program, which runs through Memorial Day 2014, will see volunteers place more than 2,000 handcrafted glass floats on the seven and half miles of Lincoln City, from Roads End in the north to Cutler City in the south. To kick things off right on the opening day, fairies will place an extra special prize on the beach on Sunday Oct. 13 — a one-of-a-kind giant Golden Sand Dollar created by Marcia Glenn of Glass Confu-

sion. Find the Golden Sand Dollar and you could win a Lincoln City weekend getaway, including hotel accommodation, restaurant gift certificates and the opportunity to create your own custom float at the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio. In addition to the Golden Sand Dollar and the daily glass floats, there will also be two special over-sized floats to find during the program’s opening day, handcrafted by local artist Kelly Howard. Find a float and you can take it in to the Visitors’ Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101 to receive a certificate of authenticity and a biographical sketch of the artist who created it. People who are unable to walk on the beach are invited to stop by and fill out a slip to enter to win a glass float. “We’re excited to have Finders Keepers back for another year,” said Scott Humpert, public relations coordinator for the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau. “This 15th anniversary of the program will mark well over 30,000 floats placed on the beaches of Lincoln City for people to find. Last year we invited successful treasure hunters to share their finds with us via social media, and we hope that they do so again this year.” To share your finds, go to www. facebook.com/LincolnCityOregon

or send a tweet on Twitter using the tag @lcvcb and #FindersKeepers. As well as their daily float excursions, the stealthy fairies will be doing special glass art drops throughout the fall and winter, placing glass floats, sand dollars, crabs and starfish on the beaches — see sidebar for dates. For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org.

The Winter Solstice celebration will be held at 6:30 pm on Saturday, Dec. 21, at the library, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101. For more information, contact Heather Jones at 541-996-2277 or by email at hjones@driftwoodlib.org no later than Nov 1.

Weather Statistics recorded by Sheridan Jones in Roads End, in Lincoln City.

NOTEWORTHY: Starting Sept. 15, there were only two days without rain. There were three lighting and thunder storms. One green flash at sunset, Sept. 7. First major rain and wind storm Sept. 22.

NOTEWORTHY, 1993: Our favorite seagull returned from summer nesting. His name was “Bad Bird.” The 24 rain totals only amounted to traces. 52 degrees in the surf, 50 degrees in the ocean. The last week of the month, fog limited visibility.

OUTLOOK: October should be cooler than average and lots wetter than the average of 5 inches. Sheridan Jones

Another chance to clean up Organizers of the SOLVE Beach and Riverside Cleanup have rescheduled beach cleans that were postponed due to the September storm for Saturday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 26. “Beach cleanup coordinators have been working tirelessly over the past few days to make sure these cleanups still take place,” said Joy Irby, SOLVE program coordinator. “Oregon volunteers are resilient — an early storm won’t stop us from ensuring the health of our coastlines.” Irby said litter and marine debris are a serious environmental problem, with marine creatures often mistaking them for food, resulting in malnutrition, entanglement or strangulation. Even the smallest bits of trash can be harmful. While organizers were not able to reschedule all the Central Coast cleanups, nine will occur

Hear a perfect marriage of sound Neskowin Chamber Music will begin its 20th season with a performance from cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han on Sunday, Oct. 13. The couple, who have been performing together for 30 years, were named Musicians of the Year in 2012 by Musical America magazine — marking the first time in the publication’s history that two musicians shared the front cover. “Critics have praised their boldness, imagination, and collaborative intimacy,” read the lead article, “but their performing virtuosity is only the starting point of their achievements.” The article went on to cite the couple’s many appearances at The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Music@Menlo, a chamber music festival and institute in Silicon Valley, saying: “They have a history of innovation in programming, recording, and outreach [that] David Finckel and Wu Han performing at Lincoln Center have combined to create a revolution in the traditional quiet world of chamber music.” Finckel received his first cello at age 10 and at 17 became the first American student of the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. In Other performances scheduled for the 2013-14 1979, he became cellist of the Emerson String Quartet. Wu Han came to the United States from her native Taiwan at age 20 THE ZEMLINSKY STRING QUARTET — Nov. 3 and went on to study with Lilian Kallir and Leon Fleisher at the Aspen PIANIST ANDRIUS ZLABYS — Jan. 26 and Marlboro Music Schools. THE KAPLAN/WEISS DUO — Feb. 9 Sunday’s performance is at 3 pm at Camp Winema, three miles THE BOREALIS STRING QUARTET — March 16 north of Neskowin, just west of Highway 101. Season tickets cost $110.

A dynamic and talented family from Veneta, Oregon, the group is comprised of Wayne and Leslie Hanson and the three youngest of their seven children, Lisa, Theraesa and Daniel. The group’s harmonies and vocal arrangements have gained them much recognition in the music world, as well as the honor of winning the 2013 Kamloops Cowboy Festival “Rising Star Award.”

Saturday’s event will see the group present a fun and lively performance of Western favorites and great instrumentation. The newly formed — and as-yet unnamed — kids’ band from the Kids Zone music program will open the evening.

Come to this workshop

Author Rick Borsten will oer a workshop titled “Character Whisperingâ€? on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in Newport Public Library as part of the ongoing Writers on Writing series oered by the Coast Chapter of Willamette Writers. The workshop aims to teach the subtle art of making characters more compelling, and give participants the tools to make their ďŹ ction come alive. Borsten began writing in earnest the summer after his senior year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when he lost his voice — and very nearly his life — while playing basketball. His ďŹ rst novel, “The Great Equalizer,â€? was a National Endowment for the Arts New American Writing selection; a ďŹ nalist for the Oregon Book Award in 1987; and has been optioned for ďŹ lm many times. The Chicago Sun Times

called the novel “Daring and imaginative, fast-paced and moving‌a tender and loving story, and a ringing reaďŹƒrmation of life.â€? And Willamette Week described it as “A magical love story, radiant with the small joys, humor, and life-aďŹƒrming pathos that dignify the human spirit in an age of pessimism.â€? He is also the author of the novel “Rainbow Rhapsodyâ€? as well as other works of ďŹ ction and poetry, and is currently working on a new novel, “The Loss of Incomparably Beautiful Things.â€? Borsten lives in Corvallis with his wife, Kim Crane, and, when he’s not writing, works for the Benton County Health Department. The Oct. 15 event is free and open to the public and takes place from 7 to 8:30 pm in the McEntee meeting room of the library at 35 NW

Escape — to Seascape

The inaugural Seascape Poetry Festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 12, in Lincoln City, featuring readings, workshops and discussion on the themes of peace and justice by four well known Oregon writers and publishers. Poets A. Molotkov, Duane Poncy, Patricia McLean and Ger Killeen will be in attendance at the event, which will also include an open mic for public participants. Molotkov will lead a morning workshop from 9 am to noon, with participants encouraged to pre-register and submit examples of their work in advance. At 1:30 pm, Poncy and McLean will present a program on the “State of Poetry, Publication and Activism.� The couple, founders of Elohi Gadugi Journal and The Habit of Rainy Nights Press in Portland, are activists for peace and justice and the editors of “Raising Our Voices: An Anthology of Oregon Poets Against the War.� Poncy is a life-long activist, writer and advocacy journalist, with numerous peace, justice, environmental, union and feminist

publications. During the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was a member of Roadside Bomb, a guerrilla anti-war poetry collective in Portland. He is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation and his writing often contains Native American characters and themes. He is currently writing a trilogy of speculative ďŹ ction novels. McLean is the co-author, with Poncy, of “Bartlett House,â€? A Will Adelhardt/Lucy Hidalgo Mystery. She works in social services in Portland and provides assistance to those in need, especially the homeless. The Oct. 12 festival will also honor the winners of the Seascape Poetry Contest, with prizes being awarded to the top entrants in the adults and youth divisions. The festival will be held at the Congregational Church of Lincoln City, 1760 NW 25th Street. For more information, contact Opening Door at 541-921-1395 or 503-392-3717 or via email at openingdoor.lc@gmail.com or Ken McCormack at kenmcc@centurylink.net.

A story of artistic growth Elegant glass sculptures reminiscent of botanical wonders will be on show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery throughout October in an exhibit of work by Kevin Shluka, accentuated with real orchids grown by Kathleen Emmerson. “Orchidaze‌and other assorted manipulationsâ€? will open on Friday, Oct. 11, with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm at the gallery, located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy 101. Shluka traveled far and wide in his search both for a home and for a style of glass art that is his very own. Having grown up in California’s Silicon Valley, he studied glassblowing at the Tesuque Glassworks near Santa Fe, New Mexico, before deciding to pursue his education from the masters of Murano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon with a history of glass blowing that goes back a thousand years. Fortune led Shluka to the door of Dino Rosin, a glass master of 50 years experience who had collaborated with greats such as Picasso and Chagall. Rosin became Shluka’s friend and mentor, inspiring him to move beyond simple glass blowing and seek to evoke his own spirit in the sculpture. Shluka then returned to Santa Fe, and went on to collaborate with notable ďŹ gures in the ďŹ elds of art, science and theology, but could not ďŹ nd peace with the materials and energies that were required to maintain a furnace full of 2100-degree glass. The ecological toll of such consumption simply did not mesh with the tranquility and fragility that he sought to express in his work. Shluka wanted to continue to use glass, but in a manner more akin to painting, that would allow him to focus on a piece for a period without the demands of maintaining a traditional shop. To solve the problem, Shluka constructed a miniaturized studio that could be transported easily from place to place. As he experimented with the new techniques required to work at such a scale, he traveled the country in search of a permanent home.

Temporary waysides included Monterey, Seattle, upstate New York and New Orleans. But it was while traveling along the Oregon Coast on a sunny weekend that Shluka said his “heart jumped ship and demanded that the body follow.â€? Making his home at the coast, Shluka continues to explore his new approach to glass art, ďŹ nding that the Oregon wilderness has shaped his art as much as the arid and expansive badlands of New Mexico and the misted and dramatic vistas of Venice. The show will run through Nov. 4, with the gallery open from 10 am to 4 pm, Wednesday through Monday. For more information, call 541-994-9994, or go to www. lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

How nice to sea you again The Newport Visual Arts Center has welcomed the return of an old friend with “The Coast — A New Vision,â€? an exhibition of new work by Mimi Cernyar Fox, on display in the Runyan Gallery. It was William Runyan, for whom the gallery is named, who urged Fox to pursue a formal degree in art after she enrolled in his painting class. Upon obtaining her master’s in ďŹ ne arts, Fox returned to Newport, where she taught classes at the visual arts center from 2004 to 2008. She held her ďŹ rst exhibition at the center in 2004, entitled “Ocean Cowboys: The Fisher“Taholaâ€? by Mimi Cernyar Fox men and the Fleet.â€? It was also in Newport that Fox met her husband, Dante Fox, a ďŹ sherman. The couple continue to live by the sea, making their home in Raymond, Washington, on Willapa Bay.

“My husband, a ďŹ sherman and ship’s engineer has brought me gifts from its waters including our food as well as incredible objects in the form of shells and bits of coral,â€? Fox said. “I have joined the ďŹ shermen for many years on their boats to study the movement and the light of the ocean. I am beguiled, too, by the sea-shell objects and during long meditative walks on the beach I gather sand dollars.â€? Fox’s current work includes images of the sea and from the sea, including sand dollar paintings and mosaics as well as highly textured paintings that glitter with metallic and sand. Fox said the pieces are designed to make people think about the delicate nature of sea life. “I want the sand dollar pieces to say something about living in a deeply loving and caring way in this rich and beautiful universe,â€? she said. “The one thing we all have in common apart from our religions and our cultures is that we are all breathing the same air, relying on brother sun and walking with mother earth.â€? Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, Fox’s exhibit will be on display in the Runyan Gallery through Dec. 1 from 11 am

“Hungry Gull� by Mimi Cernyar Fox

to 6 pm (through October) and 11 am to 5 pm (through November). The visual arts center, at 777 NW Beach Drive, is also hosting ongoing exhibits of work by Newport Middle School art teacher Amber Sprague and Tillamook Community College instructor Christine Harrison. For more information, contact Sally Houck at 541-265-6569 or via email at vac@coastarts. org.
