How to weave a historical tale in Newport The delicate art of weaving fiction through history will be up for discussion in Newport on Saturday, Oct. 19, as author Ruth Tenzer Feldman visits the Lincoln County Historical Society’s Carriage House museum to present “Precarious Entanglements: Mixing Story and History.” Set in Oregon during the WHAT: “Precarious Entranglecampaign for women’s right ments: Mixing Story and History” to vote, Feldman’s novel “Blue presentation by author Ruth Thread” tells the story of Tenzer Feldman Miriam Josefsohn, a 16-yearWHERE: 545 SW Ninth St., old being groomed for the life Newport of a socialite, whose discovery WHEN: 2 pm, Saturday, Oct. of a mysterious shawl allows 19 her to travel thousands of years COST: Free into the past, into the middle of another battle for women’s CALL: 541-265-7509 rights. “Historical fiction offers readers an entertaining and evocative way into history and culture,” Feldman said. “We humans often learn best when we can put facts into context.

If you go

What do we gain — and lose — by adding a bit of storytelling?” Feldman writes books and articles, mainly for children and young adults. She has been an attorney, editor, research analyst, ticket seller, and keypunch operator. Her 10 nonfiction books focus on history and biography, and include “The Fall of Constantinople” and a biography of Thurgood Marshall. Her topics range from leeches to Einstein’s refrigerator. She lives in Portland with her husband, Michael. “Blue Thread” won the 2013 Oregon Book Award and the Leslie Bradshaw Award for Young Adult Literature. Its companion book “The Ninth Day,” will be released just before Feldman’s talk. It also is historical fiction/fantasy and entwines the story of the free speech movement in 1964 Berkeley with LSD and the First Crusade. The Oct. 19 talk is free and open to the public and will take place at 2 pm at 545 SW Ninth Street in Newport. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

Whitney Otto will read from her book “Eight Girls Taking Pictures” at The Hoffman Center on Saturday, Oct. 19, as part of the Manzanita Writers’ Series. Otto’s new novel explores the ambitions, passions, conflicts and desires of eight female photographers throughout the 20th century, with each larger-than life character offering wide-ranging insight about the times in which they lived. From San Francisco to New York, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires and Rome, Otto spins a magical, romantic tale that creates a compelling portrait of the history of feminism and of photography. The book not only travels the arc of 20th century history, technology and art but also brings readers face to face with the struggles that creative women faced in the past century. As author Sena Jeter Naslund put it, “What makes Eight Girls Taking Pictures so remarkable is its simultaneous sharp focus and wide-angle lens.” To accompany the reading, The Hoffman Center will also present a photography exhibit highlighting the work of local women. Otto is the author of five novels, including “How To Make an American Quilt,” which was a New York Times best seller and adapted into a feature film produced by Steven Spielberg. Her other works are “Now You See Her,” “The Passion Dream Book” and “A Collection of Beauties at the Height of Their Popularity.” Her novels have been published in 14 languages. Following Otto’s reading and Q&A, there will be an open mic, where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. The reading will take place at 7 pm at 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita. Admission is $7. Also on Saturday, from 10 am to 2 pm, Otto will lead a writing workshop entitled: “Memoir/Fiction: Is there a difference?” The workshop, open to writers interested in both fiction and memoir, will look at ways to use the strategies of narrative to engage the reader, even it means reworking some of the nonessential facts.

on stage

Batting well above average Of all German words, fledermaus is one of the most satisfying. Literally translating as ‘flutter mouse’ it conjures an image of the bat as a warm and comic creature rather than the stuff of haunted houses and vampire movies. And that image fits perfectly with the story presented in “Die Fledermaus” (The Bat), the classic comic operetta from German composer Johann Strauss, which will flutter into the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Saturday, Oct. 19. First performed in 1874, “Die Fledermaus” is a tale of extravagance, flirtation, mistaken identity and sweet revenge, featuring some of the most captivating and memorable melodies ever composed. Fantasy and reality converge at an elegant ball as everyone from high society spouses to private and public servants enjoy the diversion of champagne and masked identities on a night when everyone has a secret to hide and a trick up their sleeve. The opera will be performed by the 20 accomplished voices

Are you proud of your pipes?

The Porthole Players theatre company is looking for people who not shy in belting out their affections to star in a production of “I Love You Because,” a modern musical twist on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Set in New York City, the story centers on a young, uptight greeting card writer whose life is changed when he meets a flighty photographer. Along with their eccentric friends and siblings, they learn to love each other, not in spite of their faults, but because of them. Director Erik Furuheim is looking to fill the following roles and vocal ranges:

Austin Bennet, a 25-year-old greeting card writer, tenor to A; Jeff Bennet, a 28-year-old pedi-cab driver, baritone to G and optional A; Marcy Fitzwilliams, a 24-year-old photographer, soprano, strong mix to F, belt to D; Diana Bingley, a 27-year-old actuary, alto to D; and a female soprano and a male bari-tenor, both to play several roles. The show will open Feb. 28, 2014, and run through March 6, with a special Valentines show on Feb. 14. Auditions will run from noon to 3 pm on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Callbacks will be by invita-

of Cascadia Concert Opera, a nonprofit arts organization based in Eugene and dedicated to showcasing some of the finest local and regional talent in intimate venues throughout the Pacific Northwest. “At Cascadia Concert Opera we believe that opera is for everyone,” artistic director Bereniece Jones-Cenento said, “and we are dedicated to bringing exceptional and imaginative opera to audiences through access, artistic excellence, and community engagement.” Sponsored by Cascade Head Music Festival, the opera will be presented in concert version with piano accompaniment and will be performed in English. The Oct. 19 show will start at 7 pm in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101 Tickets, $15 in advance, $20 at the door and free for children age 12 and under, are on sale now at the cultural center box office, 541-994-9994.

If the knickers fit... tion only at noon the next day. Bring a current headshot and resume if you have them, along with a prepared song either from the show or a piece that showcases your best singing voice. If your audition song is not one from the show, bring the sheet music for our accompanist. Sides will be provided at the time of audition.

Take off to Tillamook The air museum is a fine place to hangar round Story & photos by Julius Jortner For the TODAY

Finding a fascinating museum is always a treat, but discovering a museum within a museum is truly something to treasure. The Tillamook Air Museum is one such place, displaying a fleet of lovingly preserved Word War II airplanes within a cavernous wooden hangar originally built in 1943 to house blimps. As one of the largest freestanding clearspace wood buildings in the world, the museum is not hard to find. Just south of the city of Tillamook, anyone looking east cannot help but see the words AIR MUSEUM painted in massive letters on its side. Simple and to the point, the letters do their job according to museum curator Christian Gurling, who said many of the 80,000 or so visitors each year are drawn there on impulse. Only when you get closer does the immensity of the building become clear. Many visitors come back several times, having found there is more to see than can be appreciated in a single visit. The hangar is 1,072 feet long and 296 feet wide, large enough to accommodate more than four football fields. The vast unobstructed space is about 15 stories high up to the crown. It was built to house eight blimps engaged anti-submarine patrol during World War II, each one larger than the Goodyear blimp. Of the 17 such structures built along the U.S. coastline, Tillamook’s hangar is one of just seven remaining. All were built of wood, even down to details like gutters and downspouts, to conserve steel for the war effort. Now with the blimps having faded into history, the building is packed with a collection

of vintage military and civilian aircraft, most of which are maintained in flyable condition. Most of the planes displayed inside and outside the hangar were used in the American war effort but a few are from Germany and Japan. Notable specimens include P-38 Lightning, PBY-5Y Catalina, F4U-7 Corsair, J2F-6 Duck, PV-2 Harpoon, P-51 Mustang, among about 30 others. The largest plane is Boeing’s Mini-Guppy with a wingspan of 141 feet. The most recent acquisitions are the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber and the German Focke Wulf FW-190 fighter, both joining the display last year. Although visitors are prohibited from touching the aircraft, to avoid affecting their flight worthiness, you may climb into cockpits of several nearby flight trainers. For those wanting to get a little closer, a fee of $35 will buy you the chance to sit in the cockpit of one of a selection of planes while a member of the museum’s staff takes souvenir photos. Displayed in a separate room are photos, dioramas and artifacts relating to World War II aviators of various nationalities, the building of the hangars, and use of the blimps. The museum’s lease of the Tillamook hangar expires at the end of 2015, after which the collection will move to Madras, Oregon. “It’ll take a while to fly the planes over there, one by one,” said Michelle Forster, assistant manager of retail operations, who suggests visitors plan a trip soon while the full collection is here. “One reason for moving inland is to protect planes from corrosion in coastal weather,”

Left: Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon bomber. Decoration reads “Rose’s Raiders” Above: Gun turret below Flying Fortress bomber

Gurling, the curator, said. “We want to preserve this important legacy of that generation of flyers for as long as we can.” Gurling studied history in college and is deeply interested World War II aviation. His dad and grandpa both worked at Consolidated, which made the PBY Catalina aircraft, and a great-uncle flew Catalinas and Lockheed Harpoons during the war. Looking at planes on the ground is all very well but for those who want to soar above the Oregon Coast in a World War II warplane only one thing will do — a year’s membership in “Soaring with the Warbirds.” Not only do these passes allow you and a guest free entry into the museum for a year but they also offer a free flight in one of the vintage aircraft, piloted by an experienced flyer. You can choose where to fly during your quarter- or half-hour in the air: over ocean, farmlands, mountains, forests, up or down the coast. Memberships vary from

about $150 to $800, depending on choice of aircraft, length of ride, and factors like rarity of the plane, its fuel consumption, and its maintenance. For up-to-date pricing call the museum at 503-842-1130 or email info@tillamookair. com. It’s best to reserve a flight well in advance; appropriately skilled pilots must come in from other parts of Oregon. For those who are content to keep their feet on the ground, regular annual memberships are available for $30. The museum and gift shop are open 9 am to 5 pm daily, except Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Admission is $12 for adults, $11 for seniors, $8 for youth, $10 for military and free for children under 5. There is also a four-person family pass for $35 and a special rate of $10 per adult for groups of 10 or more.

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

To the Oregon Beach Station S everal years ago, I read Edmund Wilson’s “To the Finland Station,” a narrative intellectual history of 19th century European radicalism that culminates with an exiled Lenin returning to Russia in 1919 and leading the Bolsheviks to power. According to Wilson’s thesis, Lenin’s crucial role in the revolution was as inevitable as it was inexorable. Lenin ended up where he did because a kind of historical and intellectual gravity specific to a narrow time and place sucked him there. This is, I admit, a crude summary of Wilson’s incredibly complex thesis, which he presented in a relentless and convincing fashion over 484 pages. I don’t possess the fanatical interest or deep reading in this particular era to prove or disprove Wilson’s thesis. He made a huge leap of historical imagination and I gladly went with him, particularly his notion of historical inevitability, meaning that a person could find himself unconsciously routed toward a historical destiny of some kind. The destiny could be large, even monumental and affect world history, as Lenin’s surely did, or it could be small, even miniscule, and affect something not as grandiose as world history, but, rather, the history or perception of a region, like the Pacific Northwest, a state like Oregon, or a specific natural place such as ocean beaches. Indulge me here a fanciful speculation about Wilson’s thesis of “inevitability” as it pertains to me and Oregon Coast beaches. Was it my destiny as an Oregonian to have found them when and how I did and then establish such a passionate relationship with it? Was there a confluence of unique cultural and political influences, some indigenous to Oregon, others not, that sucked me, oblivious, inexorably, to the state’s ocean beaches and compelled me to call obsessive attention to them in the editorial manner I have? Consider this: as a young man in Portland, I absorbed with religious fervor the stream of raw nature that flows through the words and sounds of Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Kerouac, Neil Young and Jim Harrison. The essays, poems, songs and novels of these artists planted something organic and literary within me that Portland concrete buried, disallowing the space, water and light critical for germination. When I escaped to the Oregon Coast in 1997, due in part to what I now believe were subconscious exertions originating from the work of the aforementioned artists, I began to grow in all the best ways a person can grow — if you’ve read and taken to heart the art of Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Kerouac, Neil Young and Jim Harrison. I mean, if you really try to live it, which I have. Now consider this: Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published in June of 1962 to worldwide

The highway plan Straub helped slay

acclaim and is generally credited with touching off the modern environmental movement and leading to the 1972 domestic ban of DDT, an insidious insecticide which had caused the near extinction of many avian species, including the bald eagle and peregrine falcon. Carson’s book surely exerted a tremendous influence on a Portland television commentator named Tom McCall. In November 1962 his special documentary titled “Pollution in Paradise” outlined the threat to Oregon’s natural environment aired on a Portland station. It is generally credited with creating an Oregon environmental consciousness and helping Tom McCall win the office of secretary of state in 1964. In 1966 Oregon voters elected McCall as governor. I grew up in Oregon under the influence of the Beach Bill, as well as many other unprecedented conservation initiatives, all passed by the Oregon Legislature and signed into law by Governor McCall during his two terms in office from 1967-75. These initiatives eventually led Oregon, particularly Portland, to become one of the most desirable places to live in the country. People flocked to the state as a result. Consequently, Portland became crowded and I escaped. Was my escape inevitable? Not too long after I found the Oregon Coast, and particular Nestucca Spit, which was saved by the combined efforts of Bob Straub and others, I began to wonder why so many people had moved to Oregon in recent years. This led me to investigate McCall-era stories no other writer bothered to probe. In the initial stages of my investigation, I

Bob Straub at Nestucca Spit

found the extraordinary and distinctly Oregon story of how Bob Straub slew the insane proposal to relocate Highway 101 down Nestucca Spit in the 1960s. That story influenced — no — imbued me with a love for Oregon, a passion for conservation, and a sense of literary destiny. Was that destiny inevitable? Finally, consider this possible equation: my absorption of Emerson + Thoreau + Whitman + Kerouac + Neil Young + Jim Harrison as a young man living in Portland + “Silent Spring” + a visionary Tom McCall and the Oregon Legislature circa 1974 + a relentless Bob Straub in 1967 + growing up in Oregon when I did + the unique public nature of Oregon’s ocean beaches = to the Oregon Beach Station, the establishment of Nestucca Spit Press, and the million or so words I’ve written about beaches, including the ones you are reading right now.

Come see the light Drop anchor at the Harbor Lights Inn for a culinary voyage of discovery Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

W

alking through the door of the Harbor Lights Inn can be an overwhelming experience. The first thing to hit you will likely be the spectacular view of Depoe Bay Harbor, framed by the graceful arc of the town’s art deco bridge. After that, your sense of smell will take over, spurred into overdrive by the magnificent range of odors emanating from the kitchen, where garlic, herbs and spices are forging delicious alliances in the pot. Then there’s the warmth — a heartfelt welcome from owners Bob and Beni Blessinger, who greet their guests like old friends whether they are staying for the night, for dinner or just to admire the view with a cocktail. It’s easy to see why the Blessingers are so keen to welcome guests to the inn, which they managed for four years before buying the business last year. Beni said their time as innkeepers gave them the opportunity to see the place’s potential and, after sealing the deal, the couple redecorated all 11 rooms, got a liquor license and fired up the kitchen, offering Italian cuisine on Friday and Saturday nights. Starting with just a few dishes, the menu grew as Bob and Beni figured out what people wanted to eat. Crab-stuffed ravioli quickly emerged as a hot favorite, as did the Chicken Vesuvio, which comes served alongside an Italian mac and cheese made with fontina, gruyere, parmesan, mozzarella and white cheddar. Once the Italian nights were established, the Blessingers developed a second menu for Monday to Thursday, featuring a range of burgers and specialty sandwiches. Bob’s “Three-napkin burgers,” live up to their billing, arriving as a tower of bun, patty, veggies and cheese, all held together by a steak knife driven through the center. Vegetarians can swap out the meat patty for a black bean burger that has attracted a dedicated local following. “Bodily harm has been threatened to me if I ever get rid of it,” Bob said. “They said it was best they ever had.” Meanwhile, the shrimp po’boy, served with a mild remoulade sauce, offers a little Louisiana flair without quite so much heat as you might find on Canal Street. Bob said the twin menus make it possible for Harbor Lights to satisfy a range of palates without overburdening the kitchen, where chef Andrew Reynolds-Rice is to be found hard at work. The first thing Andrew had to learn when coming on board was how to make the pasta noodles that feature in so many of the restaurant’s dishes, from spaghetti to ravioli to lasagne. “Bob has perfected this recipe for years and years,” Andrew said. “He was over my shoulder, making sure I did it exactly perfect.”

Andrew is one half of a can-do, brother-and-sister team that the Blessingers credit with the smooth running of the inn. Bob said Andrew’s sister, Sara, joined the staff first as a housekeeper. When the couple opened the restaurant and needed a waitress, she stepped up and, when Bob needed someone to take on the chef ’s position, she nominated her brother for the job. Since then, Bob has been passing on the wealth of culinary know-how that he has accumulated throughout 45 years in the restaurant industry. Having grown up on the move as an army brat, Bob developed a love of Italian food, tweaking recipes to make them his own. He got into the food business soon after his first stint in the army, as a helicopter gunner, and returned to it after a second stint 11 years later, when he served as a radio operator attached to a special forces unit. Now, as the owner of one of the few Italian restaurants in the county, Bob’s mission is to get people through the door and make sure they come back. Beni said the inn’s location, away from the highway, makes that more tricky. “There are people who come in for dinner who have lived here 15 years and never knew that we were here,” she said. “But once we get people through that door, we have got them.” What hooks them? It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s the much-

praised steamer clams, maybe it’s the USDA prime steaks now offered on both menus, or maybe its Sara’s specialty — the tiramisu martini. “That’s always a hit,” Bob said. “It’s kind of like dessert in a glass.” And, as if diners needed another reason to keep coming back, the Blessingers have a new rewards program that offers people $20 off their next meal after spending $400. The program also offers $15 discounts as a reward just for signing up or for referring a friend as well as to mark members’ birthdays and anniversaries. Bob is excited about how the new program will help Harbor Lights stay in touch with its fans but said, at the end of the day, the food speaks for itself. “We will throw down against any restaurant in the county,” he said. “I think we are good enough that we can be a little cocky.” The Harbor Lights Inn is located at 235 SE Bay View Avenue in Depoe Bay. They are open Monday to Saturday from 5 pm “until it dies down, usually around 8.” For more information or to make a reservation call 541-765-2322 or 800-228-0448, or visit their website at www.theharborlightsinn.com.

Step up to sing out

Registration is underway for this year’s Christmas program from Kids Sing Out, which will see kids from fourth to eighth grade give four performances of an original musical in December. The program, organized by John and Valerie Kendall of Flying Fish Productions, debuted last year with three nights of performances to packed houses at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. “This year we will push the envelope a little farther,� John Kendall said. “It seems the kids and other local talent keep on rising to the occasion.� Evening performances are scheduled for Dec. 13 and 14, with matinees on Dec. 14 and 15. This year’s production will be “The Gift,� a musical written by Valerie Kendall and designed to bring out the best of children of all ages. “I can’t tell you how excited I am,� she said. “We thought it would take several years to pull our kids into the full musical theatre experience, but here we are.� The Kendalls took inspiration from what Missoula Children’s Theatre accomplishes at the cultural center every summer and are combining some of its

techniques with their own experience directing large musicals in Portland. The ďŹ rst workshop in this year’s program begins at 10 am, Saturday, Oct. 19, at the cultural center, 540 NE Hwy 101. The cost is $40 per child. For more information or registration forms, contact Valerie Kendall at 541996-4045 or email vkendallsong@gmail.com. Additional casting for “The Giftâ€? will come through secondary auditions early in November.

After all, where else can you get away with using the word ‘mushrump?’ Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Ida Gianopulous administers the sniff test

Would you believe that poisonous mushrooms will blacken silver, turn rice red when boiled with it, or that mushroom species with peaked caps are always toxic? If your answer is no, good on ya. Unfortunately, there are people who believed all of those things, with unfortunate results. Even though the vast majority of mushrooms are not poisonous, almost all the ones that are sought after for their palatability have lookalikes that you definitely do not want in your omelet. Considering the risks, it is a testament to the enduring popularity of mushrooms that so many people continue to hunt them. The joy of the hunt itself is definitely part of the appeal. Being a mushroom forager also gives you the opportunity to use the word “mushrump,” to describe the bit of ground being pushed up from below by a rapidly growing fungus. A mushrump can help you find the king bolete, a highly prized species found on the Oregon Coast, as we did on a recent mushroom walk led by fungi expert Ida Gianopulous. Once Gianopulous had located the crowning bolete, she encouraged us to use our “mushroom eyes” to find the prize that in most circumstances would have remained hidden in its camouflage of duff. Once we’d been alerted, the bolete’s fate was sealed; we knew where to look and the poor thing met a quick and decisive end. In addition to sight, experienced hunters use a combination of knowledge, the sense of smell and a good guidebook to identify edible species. “You can tell what it is by where it’s growing,” Gianopulous said. “If it looks like a chanterelle but is growing out of a tree? Definitely NOT a chanterelle.” Also important is the type of tree; many species can only be found near a certain type, and to up the ante even more, only during a certain age. Oldgrowth stands will have different species associations from second-growth. The matsutake, another popular species that can be found here on the coast, supposedly smells like cinna-

mon. I personally can’t smell it, so unless I am with an experienced guide I heed the sage advice proffered by Gianopulous “When in doubt, leave it out.” Many of the edible species on the coast, like boletes and chantrelles, can be identified with a fair amount of confidence once you’ve practiced with a seasoned hunter. And then there’s the lobster mushroom. This species, one of the few that can be pretty easily identified by even a complete beginner, is the result of a parasite that attaches itself to a variety of mushroom species and changes its characteristics. The resulting fungus is a knobbly thing that tastes better than it looks and, as the name implies, is the color of a cooked lobster. But for your first foray, it’s still a good idea to go on an organized walk or find a friend who is willing to share their knowledge with you — and if you’re really lucky, their secret spots. The upcoming Yachats Mushroom Festival has a number of such walks scheduled. Can’t make it to the festival? Consider joining the Lincoln County Mycological Society, they have monthly walks during peak season, and provide great opportunities for meeting fellow fungi-philes. If all else fails, a good mushroom guide will help at least get you started. The go-to guide for most foragers is “All That the Rain Promises and More: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms” by David Arora. Not only sized so that it is easy to carry, it covers most edible species that you are likely to encounter. Less portable but a nice easy read is “Mushrooming Without Fear,” by Alexander Schwab, which follows the rule of leaving alone anything you have even the slightest doubt about. The author goes even farther to say that, if you are an inexperienced forager, don’t take anything with gills. Luckily, that still leaves boletes, chanterelles and lobster mushrooms on the menu. For a mushroom hunter, learning more about your prey can develop the competitive spirit and foster a desire to test your skills against fellow shroomers. Filled with confidence from my recent guided walk, I challenged my husband, a more seasoned hunter, to a chantrelle-off at our local spot. As his basket, as usual, filled at twice the speed of mine, I was tempted to stab my beloved in the eye with a mushroom knife to slow him down a little. Such is the emotion inspired by these tasty, ephemeral, fungi.

Shroom for improvement Become a better person with a trip to the Yachats Village Mushroom Festival Story & photos by Jenni Remillard For the TODAY

The air is turning a little cooler, leaves have begun to fall and the rains are back. All of which adds up to just one thing — mushrooms. And fungus of all forms will be invading Yachats for the annual Yachats Village Mushroom Festival from Friday Oct. 18 to Sunday, Oct. 20. Our wet coastal climate is a perfect habitat for mushrooms and if you’ve ever taken notice while out on a hike, you’ve probably spotted many. Do you kick them over? Ignore them? Take a picture? Eat them? If you are at all curious about mushrooms, then the Yachats Village Mushroom Festival is the place to be. With a focus on local Pacific Northwest mushrooms, the festival will offer a range of activities for the mushroom lover and the mushroom curious, starting with a range of guided hikes for beginner and intermediate mushroom knowledge levels. Hikes are held both Saturday and Sunday and will focus on identification, taxonomy, and ecology. The hikes are limited to 12 people and pre registration available for most of the outings. There will be a shuttle service from the Yachats Commons to the hike sites. If you’d rather just sit and listen, be sure to visit the speakers’ forum. Topics range from “What Are Mushrooms?” for an introduction to all things fungus,

to “Mushroom Cloning” for those who want to learn about growing their own mushrooms. You can also learn about truffles, lichens, mushrooms of the Oregon Dunes, and historical uses of mushrooms in Guatemala in “Mayan Mycology.” Workshops are also available, with instructors offering tips on how to identify mushrooms, how to collect them, how to cook them and even how to grow them. Attendees of the “Grow Your Own Gourmet Mushrooms” workshop will go home with a bag of inoculated straw that should sprout some tasty oyster mushrooms. The Lincoln County Mycological Society, the Cascade Mycological Society, and the North American Truffling Society are all teaming up to create educational mushroom displays of both edible and toxic mushrooms. Society members will be on hand to answer questions and share their mushroomy enthusiasm with visitors. They will also be heading up some of the other festival activities. Even the local businesses get into the mushroom act. Ona Restaurant will be giving a free wild mushroom

cooking demo, and many of the restaurants in town will be having special mushroom-themed menus for the week. Menus are available on the festival website. Once you are fired up with all of your mushroom cooking knowledge, head over to Judith’s Kitchen Tools for gadgets to help you. If you want to get out and collect your own, several shops in town will have mushroom books available and Ya-Hots Video Country Store can supply you with mushroom harvesting tools. Mushroom arts and crafts will be available from the galleries and antique stores. If you’d rather save the effort and buy your own, mushrooms will be available from several vendors including Rainforest Mushrooms. For a full list of mushroom-related vendors and goodies, check out the festival website. All of this fungi fun kicks off on Friday night with “Bienvenidos! A Festival Welcome,” at the Yachats Lions Hall at 7:30 pm. There will be live music, food, and speakers who will give a preview of the weekend’s talks. The theme is Central America with dinner being Guatemala’s national dish — made with mushrooms, of course. There will also be a slew of tasty desserts brought local chefs. Tickets for dinner and dessert are $28 or just $12 for a dessert ticket. There will be limited tickets at the door at 7 pm but organizers recommend you online at www.yachats. org/MFest2013.html. Many of the festival events are free and a $5 wristband will get you entrance to lectures and workshops. Some workshops have additional materials fees so check the website for more details. Most of the events are held at the Yachats Commons at Hwy 101 and W 4th Street.

Historical society ponders the future

Always leave them wanting moor Shakespeare’s celebrated tragedy “Othelloâ€? will take to the big screen in Newport on Friday, Oct. 18, in a screening of a major new production by National Theatre Live in HD. Olivier Award-winning actors Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear play the lead roles in the classic tale of jealousy and betrayal, centering on the noble military commander Othello and his duplicitous aid Iago. Othello, newly married to Desdemona – who is half his age – is appointed leader of a major military operation. Iago, passed over for promotion by Othello in favor of the young Cassio, persuades Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an aair, with tragic consequences. The play is directed by Nicholas Hytner, fresh from the success of the National Theatre’s recent production of Hamlet. National Theatre Live broadcasts live performances onto cinema screens around the world. Since its ďŹ rst season in 2009, more than 750,000 people have experienced the National’s work on

If you are interested in passing on history to future generations, the Tillamook County Historical Society wants to hear from you. The society is looking to attract new members and is considering changing the times and location of its meetings to accommodate them. The group has regular programs throughout the year, including a tours of Kilchis Point and the Trask River Toll Road, the Lost Pioneer play and 100 year History of Wheeler to name a few. The society also conducts historical walking tours from time to time and has placed plaques honoring historical buildings in several locations. There is also an annual dinner for members. Currently meeting at 11 am on Tuesdays, the group is considering a shift to either a late afternoon or Saturday. There is also a strong possibility the group will change its meeting site to the Tillamook Bay Community College. The group is interested in hearing what times would suit potential members and how often they would like to see meetings occur. Time requirements begin at 1 to 2 hours a month.

Music to welcome in the autumn Members of the Oregon Coast Recorder Society will perform music from early to contemporary times, with a little blues and boogie mixed in for good measure on Sunday, Oct. 20, in Yachats. The concert, entitled “Farm, Harvest, and Home: Autumn music on recorders, viols, and cello,â€? will take place at 2 pm at Yachats Presbyterian Church and will end with a sing-along. Part of the church’s Agate Windows Concert Series, the concert is a beneďŹ t for the Yachats Food Pantry and a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items is suggested. The church is located at 360 SW 7th Street. The Oregon Coast Recorder Society rehearses every week and is open to recorder players or other musicians interested in early music. For more information, call 541-9611228 or go to www.coastrecorder.org.

Here at TODAY Towers, we are reliably informed that the word “skankâ€? has a couple of dierent meanings and are delighted to report that the Friday, Oct. 18, reggae concert in Lincoln City will be packed with good skank, rather than bad. For the uninitiated, reggae skank is the term for the quick, sharp chords played on the obeats of the tune’s regular measure — also known as ‘the part that make you want to get on the dance oor and shake something.’ Friday’s Reggae Harvest concert at the Lincoln City Cultural Center will feature two bands with a knack for ďŹ lling the dance oor, Jaskamon and UNDRTOW, the latter a regular feature on the local bar scene. Above all else, UNDRTOW, with their infectious rhythm section, vocal strength and solo talent, pride themselves on being entertainers. Featuring a line up of veteran players and singers, the band has that hardest-to-ďŹ nd knack — having fun — and bringing the audience along for the ride. Percussionist Rodney Turner comes to the band with a broad background touring and recording in both the LA and Washington music scenes. The nephew of famed Latin percussionist Willie Bobo, Turner also brings years of

Jaskamon

experience touring with “boy band� groups, Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse, Fishbone, Ravinwolf, Seattle jazz/ blues great Michael Powers and others. On rhythm guitar is Richard Silen, a transplant from the Austin music scene and a songwriter/ vocalist with a long background with RCA, Columbia and various recording and touring acts of note. He’s a well-known local sideman for some years on both bass and guitar. On keyboard, Norman Austin is UNDRTOW’s own part of the British Invasion. Brought up just south of London, he was a stalwart in British and Irish rock bands before moving to Scotland’s Isle of Skye where he played for seven years with the infamous Celtic band Peatbog Faeries. He came to the States after working as the resident pianist on a cruise ships

plying the Hawaiian and the Mexican Rivera routes. Lead guitarist Steve Sloan is a well-known guitar slinger on the Oregon Coast, fronting One Way Out for some years. Sloan honed his skills gigging in his hometown in Long Island and the Portland scene. Rounding out the group on bass is Steve Cook, a veteran of Sacramento’s jazz and blues fusion scene, most notably the well-known group Symposium, who opened

for Herbie Hancock’s lineup on occasion. Jaskamon is the latest project from singer and percussionist Randy Foote, a ďŹ xture on the West Coast music scene for decades. His fans remember his performances with the Hudson Brothers, his videos on MTV and his hits with the ’80s pop band, ComboNation. Guitarist Barry Klusman brings a tested formula of pop-island tunes to the Jaskamon project as well as an unusual left handed upside down guitar style — a la Albert King or Otis Rush. He honed his skills in acts including Country Water, Spyn, Dallas LoveďŹ eld and the Eclectic Coconuts. Providing the beats is Marv Bauer, a pro drummer for 24 years and the creator of community events including Unity in the Streets, Oxfest and Recovery Rockfest. Bauer is passionate about World Music and loves the island vibe of reggae. On bass is Louis Butts, whose rĂŠsumĂŠ includes Sons Of Soil, Roots Renewal System and Skankin’ Yankees to name a few. The Reggae Harvest concert starts at 7 pm on Friday, Oct. 18, in the auditorium of the cultural center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $13 in advance or $15 at the door and are available by calling 541-994-9994.

Belly up

Get stuffed to the gills Three renowned coastal chefs will come together to showcase the spectrum of flavors of Pacific Northwest wild mushrooms in a Thursday, Oct. 24, workshop at the Lincoln City Culinary Center. The Wild Mushroom Culinary Exploration Workshop will see Rob Pounding of Blackfish Cafe and Justin Wills of Restaurant Beck join the Culinary Center’s Sharon Wiest to create a six-course, small-plate, wild mushroom extravaganza, incorporating the best of what’s available from the coastal fall harvest. The final menu will depend on availability of ingredients, but looks likely to include a wild mushroom

As fall envelops the coast and we begin to spend more time indoors, the thoughts of many turn to what can best be described as ‘coastal winter belly syndrome.’ Newport-based dance instructor Yemaya also has bellies on the mind but with less wobble and a lot more shimmy. A second-generation belly dancer, Yemaya is offering beginner, intermediate and fitness classes to help people make their winter belly a source of pride. Yemaya was raised in an environment of Middle Eastern dance, music and culture and incorporates her Lebanese heritage into her dance and her teaching. She has assisted in the artistic direction of two professional belly dance troupes in the Pacific Northwest and also has a strong background in jazz dance. Beginners classes take place on Mondays from 6:30 to 8 pm; intermediate classes on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8 pm and belly dance fitness is on Tuesdays from 6 to 7 pm. All classes have a monthly fee of $45 and take place Dance and All That Jazz, 630 Hubert Street in Newport For more information, call 541-224-3538 or go to www.yemayabellydance.com.

The workshop costs $100 per person and runs from 3 to 7 pm at the culinary center, on the fourth floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101.

Have a night out with salmon

If you have ever rooted for a salmon making its way upstream to spawn, keep Sunday, Oct. 27, clear — it’s your chance to make life a little easier for Oregon’s iconic fish. A Night Out with Salmon is an evening filled with gourmet food, entertainment and the chance to pick up unique artwork — all in the tranquil surroundings of B’nai B’rith Camp on the shore of Devils Lake. All funds raised will help the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council continue projects including estuary and wetland restoration and protection; in-stream habitat enhancement; long-term water quality sampling; and a collaborative native plant nursery — as well as helping

Coho salmon as they cross Rock Creek on East Devils Lake Road. Chef extraordinaire for last year’s event, Brett Sommermeyer, is again developing a gourmet menu featuring locally farmed and foraged seasonal ingredients. This year’s dinner will feature salmon-safe wines from wineries such as Soter Vineyards and Evesham Wood and Deschutes Brewery River Ale to pair with fall bounty from Oregon’s farms, forests, rivers and ocean, supplied and prepared by volunteers and donors. Tom Owczarzak will be on hand to provide live music, while a silent auction will offer unique, green and musthave items such as a white

water kayak, a weekend at Sun River, rounds of golf from several green courses and salmon-safe Oregon pinot noir from Cameron, Eyrie, and Illahe Wineries. This year’s raffle grand prize is a weekend stay at a luxury home with a stunning view of the Salmon River Estuary. Raffle tickets are $5 each, three for $10, or eight for $20. You need not be present to win the raffle grand prize. The party starts at 5 pm, and tickets are priced at $45 — $20 of which is tax deductible. The ticket includes dinner with dessert, wine or craft beer, a raffle ticket and access to the silent auction. For more information and reservations, go to www. salmondrift.org.

Ozone Fine Art presents....

Now Through October 14 featuring John Macnab and contemporary local artists expressing warm Autumn and Coastal hues. Munch’s portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche

Famed Norwegian artist Edvard Munch worked on some large canvasses in his time, but none as big as the massive screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center, where his works and the logistics behind their display will be shown in “Munch 150â€? on Sunday, Oct. 20. Timed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Munch’s birth, the ďŹ lm takes a behindthe-scenes look at the eorts of Oslo’s National Museum and the Munch Museum to stage a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of the master modernist’s work. Global interest is huge — not least as a result of one of Munch’s four paintings of “The Screamâ€? recently set a public art auction record of $120 million. “Munch 150â€? will delve beyond “The

“The Scream�

Scream� to provide an indepth biography of a man who lived from the mid19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War. Norwegian and international guests will also oer their expert insight

and knowledge to host Tim Marlow. The ďŹ lm is part of EXHIBITION, a new theatrical series of events, bringing the world’s greatest art exhibitions to cinema screens worldwide, including the works of Edouard Manet and Johannes Vermeer. The Oct. 20 screening will take place at 2 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. The event is hosted locally by Kay Moxness, with local sponsors including the Jeannette Hofer Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation and the City of Newport Tickets are $15.50 for adults, $12.50 for seniors, and $10.50 for students and are available at the box oďŹƒce or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787).
