The end of my tail M y time here is coming to a close, and despite the best efforts of my assistant editors, nary a dog has graced a cover. However, I do want to give credit to the photographers that lent color to last and this week’s covers. Vicki Matthis, who captured the enormous dragon kite at one of last year’s kite festivals, and Chris Graamans, who proved in a photo from the 2016 Oregon Coast Jazz Party the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. In lieu of a top five, I’d like to highlight one event happening in Lincoln City on Thursday that ticks all the boxes (at least my boxes). Funny, cheap, and

environmentally friendly. At the costume exchange and floating pumpkin patch, you can not only watch kids (and big kids) try to grab a bobbing pumpkin in the pool, which promises to be pretty comical, you can save money and open up some storage, and landfill, space at the costume exchange. (See details in Coast Calendar, p. 13) The mighty Quinn will be back next week, keeping Editor and Publisher Patrick Alexander on his toes and providing cuteness for the week. In the meantime, here is one last photo of assistant editor Daisy May, who gave me “that look” when I asked if she wanted to donate her costume.

The Pacific Maritime Heritage Center wants to hear about your ghost encounters at Smugglers Cove or elsewhere in Lincoln County. In Newport, many patrons and employees of the old Smuggler’s Cove Nightclub (now the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center) report having seen a ghost in the building. Smugglers Cove nightclub was in business under several operators from about 1980 to 1999. Parts of the rambling 30,000 square foot structure date from the 1920s. The stone foundation is from the original 1880s residence on the site. If you have an entertaining ghost story (preferably true), please join with others at the center for a creepy good time on Friday, Oct. 28, in the Great Room in front of the fireplace. The microphone will be turned up, the lights turned down, and treats will be provided. Admission to this event will be free for Historical Society members, and $5 for non-members. For more information, call the Lincoln County Historical Society at (541) 265-7509.

Take a stein to Pacific City Grab your lederhosen and shine your stein- the Pacific City Oktoberfest is back. The Kiawanda Community Center will be filled with the irresistible sounds of accordion on Saturday, Oct. 7, for this family friendly celebration filled with dancing, live music, arts and crafts, coloring contests, beer and wine gardens, authentic German cuisine and more. The PC Oktoberfest is sponsored by and benefits several local community organizations. The fundraiser will run from 11 am to 8 pm. “Last year’s Oktoberfest fundraiser brought in approximately 700 guests and a fun time was had by all,” said local founder and volunteer, Tony Branz. “We successfully raised funds for the Kiawanda Community Center, Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters and the Community Arts Project.” The Oktoberfest celebration kicks off at 11 am and lasts until 8 pm. There is a $5.00 entry fee or you can purchase a PC Oktoberfest stein that includes entry, four tasters and a bonus raffle ticket for $20.00. Drink and food tickets will be available for purchase as well as limited edition merchandise. On the agenda, Dance

Zone and Oregon Coast Dance Center from Tillamook will be twirling in style from 12:30-1:30 pm and 3:15-3:45 pm. Kids are the focus from 11 am to 1 pm, with crafts, jugglers, balloon makers, an inflatable jump house and coloring contests. The live music portion of

the festivities will begin with the accordion players: Shelby Aeppli-Imholt, from 2 to 3 pm, and Bob Noel from 4 to 7 pm. The party will continue to the beats of a local south county favorite, DJ Charles Wayne. Included in the evening events will be raffles and a traditional costume contest

with a cash prize for the winner. Breweries and wineries from the Pacific Northwest will share their delicious craft. Breweries scheduled include Pelican Brewing, Buoy Beer, Werner Brewing, Wolf Tree, Rusty Truck, Boneyard, 10 Barrel, Atlas Cider, Golden Valley, Rogue, and Worthy

Brewing. No Oktoberfest would be complete without traditional German cuisine- including sauerbraten, weisswurst, pretzels, spätzle, potato salad and red cabbage, and plenty of sauerkraut. “Everyone in the community has been so supportive and we can’t wait

to celebrate with everyone near and far,” Branz said. “Don’t miss the hot dog eating contest early in the day.” Volunteer Audrey Guerena added, “It’s always encouraging to witness a community come together for a positive cause, especially when it includes an excuse to drink great beer.” For more information on the event contact the Kiawanda Community Center at 503-965-7900, email kiawanda98@yahoo. com, or visit Facebook @PC Oktoberfest.

AN AUCTION FOR THOSE WHO CAN Fill your larder with the large bounty produced by members of the small community of Logsden during annual Logsden Community Club Harvest Auction on Saturday, Oct. 7. The largest fundraiser of the year

for the Logsden Community Club, this annual event, taking place at the Logsden Community Center, features garden fresh vegetables and fruit, plants, fresh baked culinary delights, home canning, unique and one of a kind gift giving items,

including gift certificates. Hot dogs will be on sale prior to the auction. The Logsden Community Club donates a portion of its profits back to the community, including to the Siletz Valley Volunteer Firefighters.

The Logsden Community Center, built in the 1980s, is situated on a historic site where the local school once sat, at the junction of the Logsden/ Siletz Highway and Moonshine Park Road. The facility also houses a commercial kitchen

for cottage industry entrepreneurs who market culinary items and is a designated emergency shelter. The auction will take place from 6-9 pm. For further information contact Teresa Simmons @ 541992-2709.

AGING ARTFULLY What is most important to you as you age? What is your personal potential? How can you make choices to reflect the priorities in your life? These are the type of questions that will be explored during the “Priorities: Getting Clearer About What You Want for the Rest of Your Life” presentation for the Art of Aging/of Dying series at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Tela Skinner will offer participants an opportunity to ponder questions designed to help them recognize what holds meaning in their individual lives now, and as they age. As a social science researcher, Tela interviewed hundreds of people in late life. She came to recognize the value of asking questions and digging deeper with each answer. Tela holds a Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies/Gerontology. Her Master’s thesis on Gerotranscendence, a shift in perspective on the aging process, looks at how we, as aging humans, can re-evaluate our place in the world and our natural progression towards maturation and wisdom. Participants will have a chance to think about different aspects of the aging process (physical, spiritual, social, mental, psychological, practical, creative). They will also take a closer look at what is working in their lives, and what isn’t. 3-5 pm, 594 Laneda Avenue. There is a $5 fee to attend. Further information is available at www. hoffmanblog.org online or contact Tela Skinner, at telaskinner@gmail.com.

It’s Artober in Lincoln City Quilt while the Other than “talented” the word that best describes the people that keep the plates spinning at the Artists’ Co-op Gallery and the Beachstone Gallery in Lincoln City is “busy.” In October, this community of artists will be presenting a show with the theme “Art, Music, & Wine,” which will include work by over 50 artists. A kick-off reception will be held Friday, Oct. 13, featuring demonstrations by Laren Wooley (photography) and Linda Cline (jewelry) and introducing new artists Sarah Bolerjack (engraving) and Laurie Carlson (oil painting). Visitors can also greet returning artists, Dan and Beth Anderson. Instructors for Artists’ Studio Association classes will have work on display and will be registering students.

Party like a jazz star

Swing into Newport for the Oregon Coast Jazz Party

Y

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN

ou would probably be forgiven for calling the Oregon Coast Jazz Party a festival. The sheer volume of musicians and packed event schedule, which will revolve around Newport’s Performing Arts Center from Friday, Oct. 6 through Oct. 8, resemble many a festival, but the word party is used quite on purpose. “It’s sort of like jam sessions, except the musicians are so talented you can’t tell that’s what it is,” said jazz flutist Holly Hofmann, who is on her ninth year as music director for the event. “I played what was back then called a festival 10 years ago when they were bringing up individual groups, which was expensive. So I suggested trying what we call the party format, which is basically an all-star group of musicians that play in a mix and match configuration. You can tell the musicians are the best of the best because the audience can’t tell that some of these musicians are playing together for the very first time, right there in front of them.” Over the years, Hofmann has developed a formula for choosing the artists that are invited to the party. “First, I have favorites, who are artists I invite back based on comments I receive on comment cards,” she said. “Then I add some brand-new artists who’ve never been heard at this event. Finally, I make sure we have representation by Oregon artists. I think the exposure is good for them, since the audience comes from at least five different states, but I also think it’s good for people from Oregon to get to hear their Oregonian artists.” One constant runs through her selection process, however: “I don’t hire anyone I haven’t heard live,” she said. Returning favorites include Grammy winning bassist John Clayton, fourtime Grammy nominated pianist Gerald Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, bassist Mary Ann McSweeney, tenor sax-man Houston Person, drummer Chuck Redd and pianist Mike Wofford.

Grammy winner John Clayton

The George Cables Trio

New to the event this year are the George Cables trio, led by pianist George Cables with bassist Essiet Okon Essiet and drummer Victor Lewis; the George Colligan Trio, led by pianist George Colligan with bassist Chris Higgins and drummer Chris Brown; and guitarist Russell Malone, Thomas Marriott on trumpet, vocalist Greta Matassa, drummer Ryan Shaw. Representing our fair state this year will be the Oregon-based Bossanaire Septet. Though the event features artists from as far away as New York, Los Angeles, and Maryland, and some years has even had international artists, Hofmann says getting them here doesn’t take much effort. “It’s amazing for a small town like Newport to have this kind of star studded event because these artists play jazz festivals

all over the world,” she said. “The first year when I came to play the festival, I was just amazed at the location. It really makes it easier to attract great players. Especially since this is such an ideal time of year.” Though people might not expect “9 am,” in the same story as “professional jazz musicians,” the party does indeed start on Friday at 9 am, when people can pick up passes for the weekend and tour the PAC. The first live music event starts at 7 pm, which kicks of the multiple sets of jam sessions, nightcap performances, and even a few free educational events. “All of these are touring artists except a few local groups,” Hofmann said. “They are all full-time jazz musicians and educators. Just Jazz is an organization in Newport that provides opportunities for young people, they are sponsoring three clinics.”

One such educational session is “Jazz 101- What To Listen For?” presented by pianist Mike Wofford, bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and flutist Holly Hofmann. Nightcap performances will take place at the Shilo Inn Suites Hotel on Friday and Saturday evenings after the jam sessions at the PAC. “People really love those because it’s a little less formal,” Hofmann said. “You can go right up to the artists, maybe buy them a drink.” After nearly a decade of directing, a question comes up fairly frequently for Hofmann. “People want to know what kind of jazz they will be hearing,” she said. “Really the best way to describe it is that it’s mostly straight-ahead jazz; swinging, accessible, and very uplifting. It’s jazz in the tradition of the masters, like Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Miles Davis. You won’t be hearing any easy listening or smooth jazz. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just not what you’ll be hearing at the Oregon Coast Jazz Party.” All seating is reserved; ticket prices vary by session. For local jazz fans who want to join the party, Oregon Coast Council for the Arts offers discounts on all sessions except Session 5; OCCA members get discounts on all sessions. Get your locals or OCCA member discounts on tickets at the box office of the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street.

CAN’T YOU SEE THE MUSIC? Art becomes lively at the Lincoln City Cultural Center The arts will collide in a beautiful way Tuesday, Oct. 10, at the 4th annual Sound of Nature, Sound of Art, a multi-media event that gives you the choice to get down and dirty, or sit quietly in your seat. For the main event, the Lincoln City Cultural Center auditorium will fill with chamber music and surprising visual art, simultaneously. This year also includes a morning performance and art project that high school students will participate in but all are welcome to at the Commons of Taft 7-12 in Lincoln City. Sound of Nature, Sound of Art is the brainchild of Jonathan Dubay, violinist and head of the Three Centuries Ensemble. Dubay has planned a program of favorites (Vivaldi’s “Summer,” Dvorak’s “Silent Woods” and Milhaud’s “Suite for Piano, Violin and Clarinet”) along with original works by two contemporary composers. The first half of the program will include “Swing Shift” by Kenji Bunch, and the second half will present “The Wave Sings Because it is Moving” by Bryan Johanson. The works will be performed by member s of the Three Centuries Ensemble: Jonathan Dubay (violin), Todd Kuhns (clarinet), Kenneth Finch (cello) and Susan Dewitt Smith (piano). Two visual artists, Victoria McOmie and Siobhan Humston, will also be performing. McOmie and Humston will be responding to the music, on canvas, and will be creating their pieces while the audience observes. And, in a popular new addition to this event, arts educator Krista Eddy will be leading an “audience art” project also coordinated with the musical selections. If you’re sitting in the audience, you can respond in real time, as you watch and listen. “It’s a sensory-laden experience that opens up new paths of understanding,” said Niki Price, executive director of the Lincoln City Cultural Center. “I have found that I think differently about both the music and the art, and that time slows down while the performance is taking place. How you experience Sound of Nature, Sound of Art is up to you – but to find out, you’ve got to be here.” SONSOA is sponsored by a generous grant from US Bank, lodging sponsorship by Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, and educational

the show will include painter and collage artist Victoria McOmie; multi-media artist and arts consultant Randall Koch; and environmental artist and REEF coordinator for the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council, Graham Klag. This year, thanks to a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, SONSOA will have an “audience art” project lead by Krista Eddy, director of the Chessman Gallery and Lincoln City arts educator. This year’s Sound of Nature, Sound of Art will be performed in two ways: 1) A 45-minute morning program, which will include a discussion of line and gesture led by Jonathan Dubay, followed by a performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons (Winter)” and John Luther Adams’ “Make Prayers to the Raven.” Graham Klag and Noah Lambie will lead an environmental performance art piece, and Krista Eddy will enable Taft 7-12 students to take part in art creation, from their seats in the audience. This performance will begin at 9:05 am in the Commons of Taft 7-12, 3780 SE Spyglass Ridge in Lincoln City. The public is invited to attend this free program (but don’t forget to sign in and get your “visitor” badge).

GET ON THE ORBS RICH LIST Stumble upon your fortune as Finders Keepers returns to Lincoln City

More info

Normally, it’s not until spring that people start thinking about getting into shape and sorting through their wardrobes. But Lincoln City’s crack team of Float Fairies have been training hard since the start of fall to get into peak condition for the 19th season of Finders Keepers. The beach-going volunteers have also been rifling through their closets to find jackets with plenty of pockets large enough to hold the colorful glass floats that they will be hiding on Lincoln City’s seven and a half miles of sandy beaches every day for the next six months. The Fairies will start dropping the colorful keepsakes on Saturday, Oct. 14, and continue through May, 28, Memorial Day 2018, hiding some 2,018 officially numbered glass floats from Roads End at the north end of town to Siletz Bay at the south end. Floats can be found above the high tide line and below the beach embankment, and are always hidden during daylight hours. Finders Keepers has been running since 1999, when a local artist came up with the idea of using glass floats mark the year 2000. The program was inspired by the green and blue glass floats that used to wash up

• As if daily float drops weren’t enough, the Float Fairies will be making special drops throughout the next few months. These special drops will include a combination of antique Japanese glass floats, holiday-themed floats and other glass art pieces. For a schedule of upcoming drops, go to http://www.oregoncoast.org/ glass-floats.

regularly on Oregon’s shores, having broken loose from Japanese fishing nets. Ranging from a few inches to two feet across, these floats were the ultimate find for any dedicated beachcomber. Today, fishing vessels around the world use buoyant plastic, making glass floats a rare find — except in Lincoln City during the Finders Keepers season. Each year, tourists continue to come from around the country to search for their own brightly colored, signed and numbered glass float. Anyone who finds a float can take it to the Visitors’ Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101 to receive a certificate of authenticity and a biography of the artist who created the treasure. To mark the start of the 19th season, Float Fairies will be hiding 100 extra floats on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14 and 15, along with a jumbo float that entitles the finder to a weekend getaway package. Kelly Howard of Lincoln City Glass Center, Inc., one of several glass blowers that produce floats for the program, said the start of Finders Keepers always leads to a flood of visitors, stories of triumph and the occasional tale about the one that got away.

One such tale, she said, came from a customer at the company’s Volta Glass Gallery whose construction worker’s build was not enough to guarantee success on Lincoln City’s beaches. “He was on the beach closing in on a float and this 70-year-old woman dives through the sand and grabs it,” she said. “It’s pretty steep competition out there.” But Volta manager Tracy Blakeman said the gallery also hears its fair share of heartwarming stories, like the one that started with a man whose lack of success had led him to question whether there were any floats on the beach at all. “While he’s in here, a little girl comes in with a float and says ‘I found one, I found one!’” Blakeman said. So the man went back out to the beach the next day and found a float of his own, which he brought in to the gallery to show to the staff. “He said ‘she inspired me to go out again,’” Blakeman said. For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org.

Shed a little light on Lincoln City history with A Tour To Die For By Rebecca Stone

T

F  TODAY

hose who say you can rest when you’re dead don’t know the folks interred up at the Taft Pioneer Cemetery. In the two weekends leading up to Halloween, some of them will walk the earth to share their stories with intrepid visitors daring to embark on Lincoln City’s second annual A Tour To Die For. The roughly hour long tours to the historic cemetery kick off at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. There, prior to boarding shuttles offered courtesy of Chinook Winds Casino Resort, guests will be welcomed with hot beverages, snacks and a visitation by the fortuitously named John W. Bones. A grocer back in the day, Mr. Bones donated the land 92 years ago that would become the city’s first cemetery — and his final resting place in 1945. And Mr. Bones had good taste. Perched atop a hill, across from the ocean, Taft Pioneer Cemetery offers sweeping views that would be the envy of the living. Enroute to the their final destination, guides will treat guests to Native American legends, and perhaps some of the more well-polished stories from a different era. At the end of the line, six of the area’s early settlers will take time out from their eternal resting schedules to offer a glimpse into the past in the course of a lantern-lit stroll through the tombstones to each of their graves. A collaboration between the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, Taft Pioneer Cemetery Association and Lincoln City’s Theatre West, this little jaunt through past lives delivers a spooky albeit history-rich experience, much of it culled from the research of museum Executive Director Anne Hall. “I pick different characters each year from the museum’s extensive collection of oral histories,” said Hall. “I try to find people who have interesting life stories, who are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery.” This year, three men and three women are featured, including two couples — the women sisters — who shared the same house. “I thought it would be interesting to get the differing points of view on what was a very similar experience,” said Hall. “I also wanted to contrast the stories of the wives and husbands. Often, in history, the stories of women’s lives are

Terri Hayden and Lewis Smith in haunting mood

deemed less important than men’s. Although they worked primarily in the home, the lives of the women were often more exciting than the men’s.” Theatre West actors portraying the dearly departed this year are Bryan Kirsch as Mr. Bones, while veteran thespian Elizabeth Black and Matt Blakeman bring the stories of Finnish couple Jack and Ida Liswig to life. Ida’s sister, Anna, and her husband Matt Niemi are played by Donna Morris and Don Bambrough. And rounding out the cast are Terri King as local dance hall enthusiast Tonia Hespack and Lewis Smith as homesteader and chicken coop resident Matt Kangas. “The museum prints out biographies, with stories, told in first person, from archival information, and these become scripts,” said Smith, who doubles as director. He explains that while they work from facts, some creative license is taken, and a degree of improvisation and audience interaction is not uncommon. In addition to the challenges inherent in taking a production “on the road,” Lewis also explains that coordinating with shuttles that run every 30 minutes can be tricky. And

then there is the weather. Should it turn inclement, organizers will, instead, provide a cemetery drive-through experience, followed by a nocturnal visit to the historical museum, complete with spiritual hosts. The call will be made each night an hour before the tour. A Tour to Die For is partially made possible by a grant from Travel Oregon, from which it received an Oregon Heritage Tourism award. It also received an Oregon Festivals & Events Association’s 2016 Hidden Gem Award. According to Ed Dreistadt, director of the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau, this has led to Lincoln City being regarded as a leader in heritage tourism. “With very little investment, Lincoln City has a new attraction that literally brings our history to life,” says Dreistadt. He adds that the event, which sold out last year, brought an influx of out-of-town business to the community in what is typically the off-season. And expectations are that this year will be no different. “Given the demand last year, it will most likely sell out again,” he said. Sheryl P. Smith, president of the Taft Pioneer

Cemetery Association, credits numerous volunteers who are helping out with the tour, including local residents Mari Lasagna-Kircher, Terry Kingston, David McKee, Tami Leedom, Bri McKee, Cathy Minnich, Steve and Susie Allen and Linda Wagner who have stepped up to serve as tour guides. Also joining the tour guide lineup this year is Oregon State Representative David Gomberg. With so many enthusiastic souls involved in this event, there’s little doubt that A Tour to Die For, will become a tour to remember, and one to return to year after year. Tour shuttles will transport visitors into the spiritual realm every 30 minutes on the evenings of Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 20-21 and 27-28, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, with matinée tours offered Sunday, Oct. 22 and 29, from 2 to 4 pm. Tours depart from the Lincoln City Cultural Center, at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 12 and under. For tickets and information, go to www.TourtoDieFor.com. Proceeds from the tours benefit Pioneer Cemetery, North Lincoln County Historical Museum and Theatre West.

Enjoy some natural cycles Go with the ebb and flow on the Yaquina River Road Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman

A

F  TODAY

lthough I’d never argue against the notion that the ocean provides a nice view, no matter which part you’re looking at, it’s all pretty… oceany. For a view with some variety, you can’t beat the everchanging vistas provided by places where the ocean meets up with a river. And one of the best ways to take in the sights with your two eyes is on two wheels. A great bicycle ride on the central coast starts along the Yaquina Bay, formed by the meeting of the Yaquina River and the Pacific Ocean and accented by an iconic art deco bridge completed in 1936. The bay is deep enough to accommodate large vessels, including recently welcomed NOAA research ships, and others that travel up the river to the historic logging town of Toledo. Following the river as it snakes from the bay just south of Newport to Toledo is the Yaquina Bay Road, from which visitors can experience changing tides. Low tides expose shoals, some bare and some covered in marsh plants. Herons and egrets feed in the exposed sections and, once a year, visiting geese hide goslings among the marsh grasses. The experience is made even better by the consistent shoulder on both sides of the road, providing a safer alternative to many cycling routes in the area. Riding along the river includes one of the best fueling stops for people that enjoy mollusks — fresh locally harvested oysters from Oregon Oyster Farms, whose oyster beds you can see along the ride. Though an historically productive area for oysters, the “discovery” by westerners in the mid 1800s caused the area to be over-harvested, and the local bivalves were gone by the early 1900s. A few attempts to introduce other species failed, until 1968 when a group, including that plucky doyen of serving seafood, Mo Niemi (of Mo’s fame), created a successful research project at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and revived the now thriving industry.

More of the history of the Yaquina River area is described on the informational signs dotting the road during your ride, including one at the site of the former town of Oysterville. If you need refueling of the more hoppy type, the Mad Dog Country Tavern is located just past the Sawyer’s Landing Marina and RV Park. The tavern is a great place to meet locals and has 13 beers on tap. For those that like to leave the technology at home, the road has well-maintained mile markers, but there is also another way to track your distance. Newport is one of the few places in the country to install permanent markers for their annual marathon. If you are considering tackling the distance, this is a great way to preview the route of this popular Bostonqualifying race. If you don’t mind some climbing, start the ride by parking at the Yaquina Bay State Recreation area and head toward the bay. The first part of the ride will take you past the historic coast guard station, then along the Newport’s working waterfront and along the marina on a very nice wooden walkway. After the marina, ride on the regular road past the Embarcadero Resort and over a small hill, where you will see the beginning of the road shoulder, which continues almost to Toledo. At the final approach to Toledo, there is a short hill without shoulders, but if you’re up to the challenge, you can ride all the way into town and take a rest at the well-done outdoor railroad museum. Riding all the way to Toledo and back to the park is about 27 miles, but you can turn around at any point to shorten the ride. Other alternatives are parking along the Bay Road, or starting your ride in Toledo. I’ve been on the road at dawn and dusk, ridden through fog, battled wind and even occasionally gone out on one of the rare coastal days hot enough to make for a sweaty ride. I’ve learned which spots have resident deer (one house in particular is oddly popular with the ungulates) and exactly where the public restrooms are. (The Port of Toledo day use area at mile marker 10, and at the railroad museum). But the one thing I never know is what the day will be like, which is the best part about it.

RECYCLED FASHION IS HAUTE Forget New York Fashion Week, North Tillamook County’s got swag

T

If you go The CARTM Trashion Show and Upcycle Party will take place on October 7, starting at 6:30 pm, at the North County Recreation District Theater, 36155 9th Street, Nehalem, OR. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door — if available. The show usually sells all 195 seats early. Tickets are available in The Refindery at CARTM, 34995 Necarney City Road, Manzanita, OR, Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, and through CARTM at info@cartm.org.

hey say that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. That expression couldn’t be truer than it is at CARTM (Community Action Recycling Team of Manzanita), a nonprofit recycling center, which serves North Tillamook County. The center is gearing up for its annual Trashion Show, an event that showcases the last word in trash attire, featuring garments constructed out of materials from the center’s recycling bins. The result is some smokin’ hot couture, designed out of everything from clothes hangers, bubble wrap and Solo cups to newspaper, toilet paper rolls and roofing materials. This year’s popular trashion-forward affair, slated for October 7 at the North County Recreation District Theater, in Nehalem, will feature 30 designer/models. Each will burn up the catwalk with swoon-worthy creations starting at 7 pm, following a 6:30 pm preshow featuring a surprise local entertainer. After the trashionistas have strutted their stuff, the fun will move to the gym upstairs for the Upcycle Party, with dance music supplied by DJs AfTim Rhythm, tasty treats from the Bleu Eyed Baker, and assorted beverages, including beer, wine and nonalcoholic drinks. During the evening, raffle tickets will be sold for a few select items from CARTM’s The Refindery store, and attendees will have the opportunity to see all of the evening’s trashions — as well as some from previous years — close up. Now in its sixth year as a standalone event, the Trashion Show/Upcycle Party began as part of the organization’s annual TrashBash, but ended up with a life of its own. “Volunteers so enjoyed dressing up with recycled/upcycled materials at the TrashBash, that they continued it as its own event,” CARTM Executive Director Karen Reddick Yurka tells Oregon Coast Today. “Most make their own outfits, however, we have attracted very good professional costume designers who are making

outfits as well.” Reddick Yurka, who started as a volunteer with CARTM in 2006, became executive director in 2014. She has seen her share of Trashion Shows. When asked about some of her all-time favorite getups, she ticks off a list that includes the ‘Statue of Liberty’ made from peeled rubber garden hoses; a glowing ‘Jellyfish;’ an evening gown from a 1960s Christian Dior pattern, using black bubble wrap; and an ‘Elvis’ outfit made with bottle caps, vinyl records, with a cassette-andlicense-plate belt.

As much fun as it is, it’s all done for a seriously good cause. CARTM is on a mission to create a zero waste community, through creative reuse of materials that might otherwise end up in a landfill. Located on what was once an open burning dump site, the Manzanita-based venue, developed with support from Tillamook County, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the Spirit Mountain Community Fund, has evolved from a 1990s volunteer idea about creative waste management, into an efficient

recycling operation. Not only does CARTM promote sustainable living by providing a place where the eco-aware can drop off unneeded materials, it also offers a store in which visitors can find unique treasures. In fact, so popular is the recycling center, which just passed its 20th anniversary, that this summer it actually ran out of room due to all the “donations,” and had to close briefly to regroup. “We are really proud of the work we have done to reduce the amounts sent to the landfill,” Reddick Yurka said. “In 2016 alone, our community recycled 1,340 tons, a 14% increase over the previous year. That’s over 2.6 million pounds.” In fact, she notes that the center’s rate of recycling to total waste is consistently between 55% and 65% — while the national average is 34.3%. “We make an effort to recycle as many materials as we can, Reddick Yurka said. “Even if it costs us a bit, because it retains the intrinsic value of the materials, and provides significant energy savings when compared to new resource extraction and processing.” But CARTM is also known in the community for supporting creative expression through material reuse, which can be seen in the Trashion Show and annual spring Trash Art Show fundraising events. According to Reddick Yurka, funds raised help to offset the cost of recycling items CARTM collects that can’t be sold for enough to cover costs. “But,” she said, “we continue to recycle these items because there are few other options for them.” And that’s where trashion comes in. New York Fashion Week is all well and good, but if your tastes run more toward the latest look in bubble wrap, then CARTM’s Trashion Show is where it’s at.
