This week’s top five Patrick Alexander Editor & Publisher

NEHALEM — To hear our freelancer Gretchen Ammerman tell it, the Nehalem River Fall Splendor Excursions are riddled with children dressed in locomotive engineer overalls and bubbling over with uncontainable excitement at the prospect of an autumn train ride. I say why let the kids have all the fun? Break out your stripy dungarees and a peaked cap and climb abroad while the fall colors last. See story, p. 12

LINCOLN CITY — Free events normally like to boast about having no strings attached. But that kind of

policy would make for a short-lived show at the annual Fall Lincoln City Kite Festival. These colorful show and stunt kites will remain ﬁrmly anchored to the ground throughout the weekend-long event, which includes a salute to US veterans. See story, p. 21

NEWPORT — It might well have a title that sounds like a two year old listing their friends at daycare but “Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike” comes to the coast with some serious critical acclaim behind it. Christopher Durang’s poignant and though-provoking comedy won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play and opens in Newport on Friday. See story, p. 17

from the editor

LINCOLN CITY — The Mashed Potato meets the Macarena this Saturday as Taft High 7-12 hosts a party celebrating the city’s 50th birthday. But will the Twist take on the Twerk? Only time, and the chaperones, will tell. Come dressed as your favorite Lincoln City decade for this all-ages bash. See story, p. 7

YACHATS — We’ve all felt it. Halfway through TODAY columnist’s Matt Love’s latest installment of beach-based musings, the craving hits. If only this thoughtful prose could be interspersed with some gritty poetry and a good measure of acoustic reggae. Your wishes are answered this Saturday as the Oregon Story Sessions come to town.

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

onny was doing her thing in a park, romping haphazardly among the dandelions and mole hills. I moved parallel to her and saw a piece of folded notebook paper in the grass. I went over and picked it up, thinking it was litter. It was not. It was a list, a handwritten list, discarded, misplaced, or lost. Who knew? Whatever the reason, I now had it firmly in my possession. In the days of emails, text messages and social media posts, you almost never find handwritten notes. Two decades ago you’d encounter them all the time, especially middle or high school teachers, who regularly confiscated them and read with pleasure. The handwritten adolescent mash note is an almost extinct literary genre, as is the personal letter to parents and thank you cards to grandmothers. We are not better as a culture for their disappearance. They were important tangible documents to American personal storytelling. I couldn’t believe my good luck! I relish discovering cultural artifacts like this, and always try to sleuth out the stories behind them.

A list for the beach The list read:

Back by 8:30 pm Gas Dollar store Butt paste Wipes Electrolyte water / no cherry or fruit punch Few little prizes New fishing poles Outdoor toys Beach Burrito Chicken fajita Extra chicken Grilled peppers + onions cheese, Herb + Garlic Pico + Red on side No rice or Beans Hunter – Little kids menu – call Tom – call Pack of smokes 2 Gallons of tea

What was going on here? I read the list again trying to deduce its intent. What was it preparing for? Some kind of outing? It seemed vaguely redolent of a trip to the beach, one with possibly a child or children involved. Whatever the outcome, someone was pretty particular about the necessities and going to be well provisioned. I contrasted this level of preparation with my own. I virtually never bring anything with me to the beach when Sonny and I visit. Sometimes a camera, but that’s it. Then again, I go almost every day and don’t see my excursions as a special event. Then again, I live near the beach. Most people in Oregon don’t, and it better start raining again like it used to in Oregon or the mass

migration from the Willamette Valley to the coast is coming. How could it not? It occurred to me to turn the paper over. I did, and read a name, identification number and address of a person incarcerated in the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, the only women’s prison in Oregon. Interestingly enough, the inmate had the same first and last name of a character in a highly obscure Rolling Stones song. A thousand scenarios raced through my mind. I craved to know the truth of this list and its creator. Was it the inmate on a furlough, to see her child and play on the beach? Was this list mailed to a friend who was supposed to facilitate and stockpile the visit? I am a curious person, about people, places, animals and those politicians who don’t bother helping their fellow human beings, or old trees, for that matter. I am so curious that I picked up a pen and wrote Ms. Rolling Stones a letter asking for the story of the list. I also included some of my One Man’s Beach columns to bolster my credentials. The inmate never responded. It looks like I’ll have to make up the story now. I much prefer stories enmeshed with truth. In my writing life, they have always proved infinitely richer than anything I could have ever imagined.

learn a little

How big is your forest? The Oregon State University Lincoln County Extension Service is oﬀering “How to Measure Your Forest,” a workshop for woodland owners, or for those just interested in learning how forests are measured. The course will run from 9 am to noon on Saturday, Oct. 16, at the Newport extension oﬃce, 1211 SE Bay Blvd. Do you have an idea of the species composition, the vigor, and the volume of your forest? If you think it might be important to estimate these forest attributes, this class is designed for you. You’ll learn to use tools

that foresters use to collect individual tree data, and how to expand individual tree data to a sample that can estimate your timber stand attributes. Registration is $10 per person to cover the cost of handout materials. Students must register by Thursday, Oct. 15. The registration form is available at http:// extension.oregonstate.edu/ lincoln/forestry/news. If you have questions about the course, call OSU Extension forester Jim Reeb at 541-574-6537 Ext 19 or e-mail him at jim.reeb@ oregonstate.edu.

Happy in the Himalayas? The Oregon Coast Learning Institute will take its guests to the heights of the Himalayas before delving deep into linguistic research when its fall semester continues this Tuesday, Oct. 13. At 10 am, Sheila Stevens and Heather Haugland will present “Adventures in the Himalayas: Bhutan and Nepal,” an account of their September 2014 journey to the region. Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, sits high in the eastern Himalayas, bordered by its powerful neighbors India and China. Since 1974, when the country opened its doors to tourism, the Bhutanese have worked to maintain their cultural

heritage while moving into the age of technology. All economic growth is tempered by Bhutan’s aim to maintain its Gross National Happiness rather than its Gross National Product. To preserve the fragile environment and cultural uniqueness the government allows a limited number of tourists to visit annually. Tourists must arrive in a group; no lone travelers need apply. At 1 pm, Byron Lewis will present “Neuro Linguistics Programming Demystiﬁed,” looking at a ﬁeld of study developed the mid-1970s by a group of students and teachers at and around the University of California, Santa Cruz. Based on the study of several highly successful

therapists including Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir and Milton Erickson, the group sought to answer the question, “What do they do that results in therapeutic change?” Lewis’ presentation will focus on the basic presuppositions of this approach to human behavior as well as various applications of the discipline and some of the controversy surrounding the work. The learning institute meets at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, 7760 Hwy. 101, Gleneden Beach. Membership is $75 for the year and guests are always welcome to try one session free. For more information, go to www.ocli. us.

Have a harmonious holiday Women of all ages are invited to join the Oregon Coast Chapter of Sweet Adelines International for a Christmas Chorus that will perform in four-part harmony at a variety of holiday events. Rehearsals begin on Thursday, Oct. 15, from 6:15 to 9 pm and continue every Thursday evening through mid December. Several performances are already scheduled including the Tree Lighting Ceremony in Lincoln City, the Yachats Ladies Club and a Holiday Performance with the Coastal Aires on December 10. “If you are new to the area or have lived here all your life this is something fun and diﬀerent to do,” said group spokesperson

Mary Mamer. “It’s a great way to spend an evening with friends or make new friends. Mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces have a chance to bond over singing. What better way is there to spend an evening? Why wait until January to make that resolution to do something new? Start now and join the Christmas Chorus.” Rehearsals are at the American Legion Hall located at 424 West Olive Street in Newport. Ridesharing is available. There is a $10 fee to cover the cost of music. For more information, call Ellen at 541-574-6407 or Pat at 541-563-7293.

CoastWatch talk The Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences will welcome CoastWatch Volunteer Coordinator Fawn Custer as the guests speaker at its Thursday, Oct. 15, meeting. As a member of the Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators, Oregon Science Teachers Association and as an instructor at the Hatﬁeld Marine Science

Center, Custer frequently presents workshops and curriculum for both formal and informal educators. Custer’s passion for the Oregon Coast has been enhanced by working with more than 1,300 volunteers along the coast. CoastWatchers are currently involved in citizen science projects including NOAA

Stranding reports. The meeting, which will also include a screening of “It’s Everybody’s Ocean,” starts at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge but a $5 donation helps defray publicity expenses. For more information, go to YachatsAcademy.org or GoYachats.com/events or call 541-961-6695.

THE DANCE OF THE DECADES

The Mashed Potato will meet the Macarena this Saturday, Oct. 10, when Taft High 7-12 hosts a community dance celebrating Lincoln City’s 50th birthday. Guests of all ages are invited to come dressed as their favorite Lincoln City decade, with organizers hoping to see outfits from the ’60s onward. Principal Majalise Tolan said the dance is the perfect way for the school to celebrate 50 years of Taft Tiger pride with a “Growing Up Tigers” theme. Associated Student Body members Terin Trachtenberg and Margery Price have taken the lead on organizing the event, which will see the school’s commons decked out in Tigers’ black and orange. Price said the city’s incorporation in 1965 was a milestone, bringing together the area’s five existing communities, each of which had their own varied histories of settlement and development. “It was definitely not the beginning,” she said, “but I like to think

about it as the start of unity.” Tolan said the music lineup will include a host of old favorites, including interactive songs like the Macarena, with dance moves that many guests are sure to remember. And to add a little authenticity to the music on offer, Historic Anchor Inn owner Kip ward has loaned the school an old 8-track tape player unearthed from his impressive collection of vintage memorabilia. Tolan said the player came accompanied by a box of old 8-track tapes that is sure to contain treasures. Meanwhile, some of the outfits on the dance floor might well be making their second appearance at a homecoming dance. Price said organizers have been talking with some members of the class of ’65, who are having their reunion the weekend before.

“Hopefully they’ll bring their dresses from homecoming,” she said But guests should not let the lack of a fancy frock dissuade them from attending what promises to be the party of the decade. Trachtenberg said people should feel free to come dressed in whatever they like, as long as they are prepared to have fun. And he plans to lead by example, delving all the way back to the 1940s for his own dance getup. “I have a very special hat in my closet for occasions like this,” he said. The party is free and open to all, with ﬁnger foods and drinks provided. Donations will be accepted for North Lincoln Hospital Foundation, with funds going toward breast cancer treatment. The dance, which marks the start of Taft’s Spirit Week, will run from 6 to 8 pm in the Commons at Taft High 7-12, 3780 SE Spyglass Ridge Drive.

A multi-layered event The Yachats Ladies Club will be serving up lasagne with all the ﬁxings on Friday, Oct. 9, when it hosts its annual Scholarship Fund Dinner. The club has a reputation for producing great food, from their famous pies to lunches and dinners. This Scholarship Fund Dinner will be no exception, starting with antipasto trays followed by a tossed green salad with homemade Italian vinaigrette. Guests can then choose between homemade lasagne with a hearty meat sauce or roasted vegetable lasagne with a bechamel sauce served with garlic French bread. Dessert is a lovely fruit cobbler. Available beverages are coﬀee, tea and water. To-go dinners are available.

In addition to the food, guests will have the chance to meet current or prior scholarship recipients as well as trying their luck in the Scholarship Quilt raﬄe. Tickets are a dollar each or six for $5. The winner of the Scholarship Quilt will be announced on Sunday, Dec. 6, at the conclusion of the Christmas Bazaar. In the past four years the scholarship fund has given between $1,000 and $3,000 annually to nursing students at Oregon Coast Community College. The dinner will run from 5 to 7 pm at the Yachats Ladies Club, 286 W. Third Street. Admission is $15 at the door. For more information, call 541-547-3205.

Drumming up some support Tickets are on sale now for the third annual Bongo Bingo fundraiser for the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. Players will ready their dabbers at the Eventuary in Lincoln City on Sunday, Oct. 18, for bingo, bongos

and lots of fun, led by Master of Ceremonies Wally Kohl, who will liven things up with bingo trivia and surprises. The event will run from 3 pm to 5 pm at 560 SW Fleet Avenue. Parking is available at US bank, as

well as at the Eventuary. Admission is $20, which includes door prizes as well as one game card with twelve traditional bingo games. Additional bingo game cards are available for $10 each. Winners will choose from a variety of prizes,

including dinners at local restaurants and motel stays. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. For advance ticket sales or more information, call 541-996-6614 or drop by the museum at 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City.

Estuary so far... GO BIRDIN’ AT WHALEN The health of Tillamook County’s five estuaries and watersheds will be in the spotlight this weekend at the third annual State of the Bays celebration hosted by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. The two-day event highlights efforts to improve water quality and restore habitat as well as giving people an opportunity to reflect on the area’s wonderful waterways. The event begins with a reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Oct. 9, at the Officers’ Mess Hall at the Port of Tillamook Bay, where Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian will kick off the festivities, accompanied by other local and national representatives. This open house-style event showcases many projects by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and its partners and features information on local conservation projects, water quality issues, efforts to improve fisheries through habitat restoration, emerging issues such as climate change and much more. Light refreshments will be provided by Pacific Restaurant. Saturday, Oct. 10, will be filled with outdoor field experiences highlighting on-the-ground, in-process work supporting TEP’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. TEP staff and partners invite the public to join them on these outdoor tours, exploring the pathways of wetland and woodlands, learning about the history and stewardship of these natural environments and habitats. There are seven field trips planned throughout the county and spaces are filling up fast — RSVPs are strongly recommended.

Whalen Island, just north of Tierra Del Mar on the South Tillamook Coast has a reputation for being the place to go for coastal birding in October. And, on Saturday, Oct. 10, the Audubon Society of Lincoln City will ﬁnd out whether the island lives up to the hype as it hosts a free birding trip led by Mark Elliott. This easy walk will take participants through dunes, forest and thickets of rhododendron and huckleberry as they keep their eyes peeled for year-round residents as well as latemigrating shorebirds and early arriving winter season ducks. Beginning birders are welcome. Binoculars and guidebooks are available for those who don’t have their own, and carpooling is usually an option. Have questions?

See you on the ﬂip side Pig ‘N Pancake has you covered for breakfast, lunch and dinner By Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

ith a jolly-looking porker about to tuck in to a short stack drenched with syrup, Lincoln City’s Pig ’N Pancake has a sign that could hold its own against some of the most distinctive pubs in England. But while your average Dog & Duck or Rose & Crown might struggle to offer anything more substantial than a pickled egg, this beloved eatery has a diverse menu that packs diners in for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Restaurant founders Bob and Marianne Poole opened up their first location in Seaside back in 1961, choosing a name that summed up the perfect pairing of pork products and pancakes on offer within. Now with five restaurants along the coast from Astoria to Newport plus a location on Portland’s east side, Pig ’N Pancake still offers buttermilk pancakes made to Bob’s original recipe, plus a whole lot more. Zach Poole, Bob and Marianne’s grandson and vice president of the company, said the breakfast lineup includes something for every palate, from traditional pancake stacks to chicken-fried steak and his personal favorite, razor clams and eggs served with a choice of pancakes or hash browns. Alongside longstanding favorites, the restaurant brings on new dishes each year, with this year’s breakfast offerings including the kielbasa

skillet — Polska kielbasa served over fresh hash browns and topped with homemade country gravy, scrambled eggs, green peppers and cheddar cheese. Poole started working at the Seaside restaurant when he was eight years old, helping out by buttering hamburger buns. In the decades since, he has seen the company grow while retaining its customer-centered approach. “My favorite part was the people — always has been,” he said. “It’s a pretty people-intensive business you know, and a friendly business. You have to be hospitable.” Poole said his grandparents passed on a legacy of working as a team and always listening to the customer. He said the Lincoln City restaurant strives to uphold that legacy by oﬀering a friendly atmosphere, spotless surroundings, fast service and good food. A good breakfast, he said, relies on all these things coming together. “We get a lot of repeat customers and we are very happy to serve

them,” he said. Over the course of a lifetime spent in the restaurant industry, Poole has seen growing interest from customers in where their food comes from, something that drives his team to seek out the bestquality ingredients they can ﬁnd. “In general, the customers expect a quality product all the time,” he said. “I just think people are more conscious of what they are eating.” The restaurant’s lunch menu includes several options for people looking to limit their carbs, including a crispy chicken jalapeño wrap served with fresh veggies, pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo. Carb watchers can also have any of the restaurant’s sandwiches served as a wrap or opt for one of a range of diet-friendly salads, including crispy chicken,

Get sidetracked With a fall railroad adventure out of Nehalem Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Children tend to develop in fairly predicable stages: they learn to walk, learn to talk, and then a large number of them go through what can be best described as the “train phase.” On a trip on a vintage train for one of the Nehalem River Fall Splendor Excursions, I counted no fewer than three kids wearing engineer-style overalls, one so excited while we were embarking that he went into a fit of near hysteria and did what looked like an adorable version of a Saint Vitus dance. “We get lots of kids in those,” said conductor Jeff Gallaher. “Also lots of t-shirts with Thomas the Tank Engine on them.” The excursion is one of the special rail tours operated throughout the year by the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, a non-profit group formed in 2003 by members who are actively working to revive and restore steam and diesel locomotives, train cars and even the tracks the trains ride on. Although the tracks used by the OCSR currently originate from the Tillamook Air Museum, rail tours generally run on a stretch between Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach. But for one month each year, the train makes a right turn in its route to take advantage of the colors that autumn brings ever so briefly. Leaving from Wheeler, the train, powered by an appropriately pumpkincolored diesel locomotive, travels north along the coast, passing active dairy farms and the Nehalem Bay Winery before turning east to follow the Nehalem River. I was lucky enough to ride during this year’s maiden voyage, which happened on a particularly stunning early fall day.

But it was still the coast, so when we pulled out at 10 am the wind created by our movement cooled what had been t-shirt weather. Seasoned, or prescient, passengers started pulling out scarves, extra jackets, and even a few blankets which did the job of keeping them warm enough to stay in the open cars. Although the open cars aﬀord the best viewing and photo-taking opportunities, there is also at least one enclosed car where passengers can stay

warm while still enjoying the view, complete with tables for setting out a meal. The open cars allow for four-legged passengers as well. On board this journey was Coco, whose people were glad for the pet-friendly policy on the excursion trains. Pet owners should check before purchasing tickets, as train car conﬁgurations have resulted in no open cars at least once and a couple who had arrived with their dog were regretfully turned away.

The trip was roughly eight miles long and terminated near the “town” of Batterson, where the engine detached from the train and headed on a parallel track to rejoin the cars on the other end for the jaunt back to Wheeler. The break afforded us the chance to walk down to the Nehalem River, past a large old-growth spruce that was ignominiously adorned with a tire swing. The coast has a lower percentage of deciduous trees than some areas, but longtime volunteer Vicky Thompson said the changing leaves are just a small part of why people really enjoyed this trip last year, the first time the route was open to the public. “People really just enjoy the ride,” she said. “The kids love it so much and adults find it very relaxing. Plus you get to ride along the Nehalem River.” To enhance the experience, the conductor and other on-board volunteers like Richard Gitschlag do a great job of alerting passengers to upcoming photo ops, like the chance

to see the OCSR’s photo-worthy steam engine, which powers the summer tours but is used in the fall only for charter trips. According to Gitschlag, members of the National Model Railroad Association (clearly a bunch of people who are going through their train phase as adults, or maybe never left it after childhood) recently chartered one such trip, and another group had chartered it today. At the end of our two-hour train ride, almost all of us couldn’t help but wait to see the other train as it rolled boldly into the station, blowing steam and sounding like history. The Nehalem River Fall Splendor Excursions run weekends through October, with the ﬁnal ride on Sunday, Oct. 25. There are two trips per day, one at 10 am and the second at 1 pm. Tickets are available on board but advance reservations are highly recommended. Tickets are $18 for adults, $17 for seniors and $10 for children 3 to 13. Children under 3 years old ride free.

A family affair

on stage

“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” opens in Newport By Barbara B. Covell Photos by Greg Covell For the TODAY

t’s the stuff of life. A thick slice of remorse, disappointment and disillusionment coupled with unmet hopes and dreams. Add a dollop of sibling rivalry, a May/ December romance and a quick, witty script that mirrors life’s unpredictabilities with possibilities; this is a formula that works. And all the ingredients are there in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” the new production from the Red Octopus Theatre Company, which opens opens in Newport on Friday, Oct. 9. This is the first time the play has been performed on the Oregon Coast after winning the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Veteran actress and director Bo Harrington handily transforms a riveting script into a dynamic stage performance. The story takes place in farmhouse in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Brother and sister Vanya and Sonia (named after Chekhov characters) live together in the family homestead after caring for their aging parents through Alzheimer’s and end of life. Both in their 50s, Vanya and Sonia each struggle with depression and sadness over lack of achievements in life, love and financial independence. Their sister Masha, a once-successful stage and screen actress, garnered acclaim and recognition during her youth and assumed all financial support for her family. But heyday roles are no longer an option for Masha, well into her midlife years. This overshadowing gloom goes awry when the aging Masha arrives for a visit, with an energetic young lover

in tow. Add to this premise a psychic housekeeper, a beautiful young aspiring actress, an unexpected costume party and the wildly uninhibited (and well-endowed) young lover cavorting freely in his underwear. Playwright Christopher Durang craftily transitions the morose into source material for laughter. Scott Branchfield portrays Vanya, a 57-year-old gay man who has lived a sheltered life in his parents’ home. He spends his days watching the backyard pond and waiting for the herons to arrive. Often the intermediary while his sisters exchange barbs, Vanya longs for the memories of yesteryear. He has great concerns about global warming and the changing weather patterns. He is not a simple man, and Branchfield illustrates Vanya’s complexities with a masterful performance. His delivery of a soulful, emotive monologue in Act II is a tour de force and not to be missed. Red Octopus Theatre alumnus Carol DeMuth is Sonia, the adopted sister who struggles with sadness at the loss of her productive years. She mourns being single at 52 and sees dismal prospects for male companionship. Carol is painfully convincing with conveying Sonia’s sorrows and equally adept in delivering powerful moments of self assurance. Her facial expressions and physical presentation are skillful. “We forgot to make a life for ourselves,” Sonia tells Vanya in Act II. Vanya’s response, “We didn’t leave because we didn’t know how to leave.” Barbara Berge plays Masha, describing herself as “beautiful, talented, charming and rich.” An aging actress with five failed

Cassandra makes a dire prediction

Vanya and Nina talk about the changing world

Masha and Spike ready for the costume party

marriages and a skillful young lover, she narrowly views life from a self-absorbed vantage point. Berge portrays Masha with wild abandon, nailing her character’s penchant to orchestrate the lives of her siblings. It is a work of art to witness her execution of this role. Michael Spivey does an outstanding job as Masha’s young lover, Spike, able to work his role unclothed and comfortable in his own skin. Spike is a free spirit representing a much younger generation, no longer connected to the values of Vanya, Sonia and Masha’s generation. Mother and daughter team Kristi and Katherine Meredith perform beautifully as the housekeeper, Cassandra, and young aspiring actress, Nina. Cassandra has

psychic abilities, warning of dire events in the future. Nina is innocent, yet keenly aware of the circumstances around her. Both characters have a profound inﬂuence on the show’s outcome. This is the ﬁfth Christopher Durang show that Harrington has directed for Red Octopus. “He is a great writer and I am blessed to have such a talented cast,” she said “I like to feel this is a sunny, funny play about gloomy people,” she added, “It is now the mostrequested play in America. We are so fortunate to have obtained performance rights prior to Eugene and Salem. It is a show that hits people right where they are — Boomers meet Generation X.” Adding to the show’s stage

performances are the expertise of lighting and sound producers Ron Miller and Justin Gleeson. The 1970 musical contributions from The Beatles, Lou Reed, Randy Newman and other musicians resonates well with the playwright’s script and moral theme. The set design is warm and intimate, reﬂective of a family farmhouse. “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” opens Friday, Oct. 9, in the Black Box Theater at the Newport Performing Arts Center and runs Friday and Saturday nights at 7 pm and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm, until Nov. 1. Advance tickets cost $15, students and seniors $14. For more information, call 541-265-ARTS. The play contains some adult content and might not be suitable for children.

LISTEN UP The Oregon Story Sessions are coming to Yachats

Marcelo Álvarez as Manrico and Sondra Radvanovsky as Leonora • Photo by Ken Howard/Metropolitan Opera

How do you know it’s opera season? A little Verdi told me. The Oregon Coast’s opera season will begin this weekend, with a screening of Verdi’s “Il Trovatore (The Troubadour)” in Newport on Saturday, Oct. 10. Presented by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, “The Met: Live in HD” beams full-scale productions from New York’s Metropolitan Opera House to big screens around the world. “Il Trovatore” sees soprano Anna Netrebko put her dramatic and vocal skills on full display as Leonora, the heroine who sacriﬁces her own life for the love of the gypsy troubadour.

Tenor Yonghoon Lee sings the ill-fated Manrico, baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky is his rival and mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick is the mysterious gypsy with the troubled past. Marco Armiliato conducts Sir David McVicar’s production, which is inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya. Saturday’s performance will run from 10 am to 2:45 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets, $18.50 for adults, $15.50 for seniors and $7.50 for students, are available at the box oﬃce, by calling 541-265-2787 or online at coastarts.org.

Whether it’s a rollicking poem about fishermen drinking Fireball in a dive Newport bar, a detective story about a washed-up private eye trying to prevent the privatization of Oregon’s beaches, or some sweet acoustic reggae from coastal lads just breaking into the music scene — you will find it this Saturday, Oct. 10, in Yachats when the Oregon Story Sessions come to town. Saturday’s session will see author and publisher Matt Love and poet Tim Sproul join forces with the Siletz musical trio Crooked for an evening of uniquely Oregon-themed words and music at the Yachats Farm Store. In his debut novel, “The Great Birthright,” Love sends up the detective genre. The novel’s premise is that a shady Los Angeles developer is trying to have the US Supreme Court overthrow Oregon’s 1967 Beach Bill and only one detective and writer can stop this nefarious plan. Set on the Oregon Coast, the novel unfolds a hard-boiled tale of what happens when someone tries to mess with Oregonians and their beaches. Tim Sproul’s “Newported, a Poetic Field Guide to the Pacific Coast,” goes

where most poetry fears to go — the heart of the real characters, dark bars and magically dangerous beaches of the Pacific Coast. “Newported” is Sproul’s third book of poems and he celebrates what it means to get Newported — formally defined in the book’s first poem as…“…to experience a slighting…or unexpected joy…. brought on by cultural and geographical isolation….born of provincialism, rain, rugged individualism and Walmart.” Newported is a practical and lyrical guide to the most magical places on the Pacific Coast, alight with hope and compassion, drunk with the joy and pain of real people trying to make it in hard places. Crooked features Brett Lane on guitar and vocals, Casee Case on bass guitar and Dakota Burgins providing percussion. The band recently released a four-song CD called “Crooked EP” and they describe their sound as “Northwest acoustic reggae.” It’s home-grown music guaranteed to make you smile. The Newport vibe for this installment of the Sessions is strong. Sproul graduated from Newport High School in 1984, Love taught there for five years,

counting both Lane and Case among his students. The pair were featured performers at Love’s classroom open mic called the Friday Lunch Jam. “It’s going to be great to gig with Brett and Casee again,” Love said. “It’s been way too long and it’s fun to see them about ready to take oﬀ.” The free event begins at 6 pm at the Yachats Farm Store, which was recently named one of the seven wonders of the Oregon Coast by Travel Oregon. The store is located at 348 Hwy. 101

Check out this tree-o Life, love, dogs, cats and Muhammad Ali will all be on the playlist this Saturday, Oct. 10, when Paul Chasman & the Great Gatleys step on stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Chasman performed as a “mute guitarist” for many years, until hand surgery forced him to explore other avenues. Three years and two albums later, Chasman has completed his reincarnation to acclaimed singersongwriter. His songs are a skillful mix of vivid poetry, formidable guitar playing and biting satire. His musical career spans 50 years, during which time he has recorded more than 15 albums of his own music, performed solo and played with blues, bluegrass, rock and jazz bands as well as in classical ensembles. Joining Chasman on stage is Laurie Gatley, who spent most of her young life singing in church and school choirs and choruses. In college, she was in the Portland State Choir and has spent the past 24 years singing four-part a cappella barbershop, in both quartet and chorus settings. Rounding out the group is Dan Gatley who began playing trumpet at an early age in grade school band, then went on to join the Imperial Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps. He began playing electric bass in junior high and found it to be his love, playing ’70s rock and funk jazz. Since then, he has traveled throughout the United States and Japan playing jazz, blues, classic

HIGH HONOR Lincoln City celebrates veterans at fall kite festival The Star-Spangled Banner will take pride of place at the 37th Annual Lincoln City Fall Kite Festival this weekend as the event honors military servicemen and women with a “Salute to our Veterans.” The festival runs from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10 and 11, at the D-River Wayside State Park in the heart of Lincoln City. Colorful, larger-than-life show kites will be on display and professional kite ﬂiers will perform their signature routines throughout the festival. Activities include kids’ kite making, kite demonstrations, and the Running of the Bols, which is a footrace across the beach with each participant harnessed to parachute kites. On both days, kids of all ages can learn how to make their own paper kite and show oﬀ their colorful creations in the kids’ parade. All kids attending the festival will receive a free passport

to the event and can earn great prizes by collecting autographs from featured fliers. Guests are also encouraged to wear red, white and blue to help celebrate the event. To go along with the veterans theme, the festival will have some very special guests. “We are coordinating with a few veterans groups to attend the festival,” says featured flier Phil Burks, who works with people suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI by using kite flying as a therapy mechanism. “As someone who suffers from TBI, it is very important to me to raise awareness of this devastating injury,” Burks said. “Kite flying has a magical quality to it, and it has helped me personally with my TBI recovery. I believe that the same can be done for veterans that suffer from TBI.” Burks, who has flown kites for more than 15 years, says that the key to flying is not

about the size of the kite. “It’s about the energy you bring to the flying field,” he said. “Bring a positive, enthusiastic attitude and the flying takes care of itself.” Burks will be on the flying field both days during the festival, showing off red, white, and blue banners that he designed especially for the event.

Visitors are welcome to stop by and say hello to all of the featured ﬂiers. “Come on down and talk to us,” Burks said. “We love sharing our passion for kite ﬂying with visitors.” For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org.

Surf’s up — again

Competitive surfing will return to Newport after a five-year hiatus this weekend as Newport Parks and Recreation unveils the first annual Agate Beach Surf Classic. Running from Friday, Oct. 9, to Sunday, Oct. 11, the event will see adult and youth surfers from across the Pacific Northwest compete in a much-missed event at Agate Beach. This event is a revival of The Rogue Gathering, started by local surf legend and board shaper Steve Swan. With the help of Ossies Surf Shop, Rogue Brewery and volunteer

surfers, the City of Newport is able to breathe new life into this old contest. Attendance is free. Surfers will gather at 8 am on both Saturday and Sunday for the ﬁrst heats and will be competing in ﬁve divisions: Youth 12 & Under (with or without a parent), Women 13+, Junior Men 13-19, Men 20-49, and Men 50+ in Honor of Bear Club Legends. Competitors, family and friends will gather on Saturday evening for a contest party hosted by Rogue Brewery.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the development of the Agate Beach Wayside, including parking, restrooms, showers and improvements to sidewalks and trails. Registration is now open. Online pre-registration is $40 and available until Oct. 6. Day-of registration is $50, but there is no guarantee of open spaces on the day of the contest. For more information, go to www.NewportSurfClassic.com or call Mike Cavanaugh at 541-5745453.

HAVE A CLOSE ENCOUNTER Lincoln City artists and artisans are inviting the public to take a really close look at their work at the Artists’ Co-op Gallery this Friday, Oct. 9. The opening reception for the gallery’s new show, “Natural Wonders, Up Close and Personal,” will give guests the chance to admire everything from jewelry and textiles to metal sculpture and ceramics while chatting with the artists and enjoying light refreshments.

Owned and run by local artists, the gallery receives a total facelift every three months, with members brining in new work to share. During Friday’s reception, Donna McCoy will demonstrate how she uses a camera to explore the natural world. She loves being surprised by patterns, colors and textures that are revealed through the camera lens and hopes guests will enjoy seeing the details of marine animals as ﬁne art.

IMPRESSED YET? T

he latest show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery showcases work from six artists who incorporate nature into their art, whether it be glass, wax, clay, paper or fiber. Entitled “Nature Impressed,” the show features fish prints by Heather Fortner, Christine Holden and Sharron Huffman; wax prints by Bridget Benton; clay prints by Chasse Davidson; and fused glass works by Teresa Kowalski. The show will open with a public reception on Friday, Oct. 9, from 5 to 7 pm, where guests can enjoy wine, appetizers and a chance to meet some of the artists. All six artists specialize in some form of nature printing, a style that utilizes inks, pigments or chemicals to transfer images of natural objects to a surface. Paper prints are the best-known but nature printing lends itself to any surface, including clay, wax, glass and fiber. Nature printing allows the artist to capture the subtle shapes, textures and intrinsic designs of nature, while also expressing a personal interpretation and appreciation for the natural world. Natural objects, such as leaves, fish, octopus and crabs, ferns, seaweeds, insects and flowers serve as the template for prints that capture the striking beauty of nature. Heather Fortner fell in love with gyotaku, or Japanese fish printing, in 1976 while living in Hawaii and has been printing fish and plants for the past 40 years. She works from her Sea Fern Nature Printing Studio in Toledo and will print anything that does not run away. Christine Holden, now of Sarasota, Florida, is drawn to the patterns, colors and textures of the natural world. Trained as a graphic designer, she spent her professional years

Gyotaku by Heather Fortner

working for the fish and wildlife service and other agencies, creating wildlife publications in Oregon and Alaska. Introduced to gyotaku in 2005, she took to it like a fish to water and brings the skills of her artistic background to take this art form to a new dimension: making art quilts of gyotaku mixed with nature-printed seaweeds. Sharron Huffman is a longtime relief printmaker, fortunate to have taken classes from Ray Troll in Ketchikan, Alaska, in the 1980s. She discovered nature printing in 1997 and was immediately captivated by the art form. Once a classroom teacher, she retired from teaching and devotes herself full-time to nature printing and her own studio-gallery, Herring Cove Originals in Ketchikan. She moved from Alaska to Milwaukie, Oregon, in 2005 and continues to nature print, now specializing in octopus. Bridget Benton has been an artist most of her life, working with fiber, acrylic, collage and assemblage. She

Raku by Chasse Davidson

added encaustic to the mix in 2006 and soon began integrating nature printing into her work as well. A passionate teacher, Benton supports students in listening to their own intuitive voice and following their unique creative impulses. She has recently moved to Asheville, North Carolina, from her former home of Portland. Teresa Kowalski is a glass artist from Newport who has worked in fused glass art for more than 30 years. In 2011, she started layering glass powder directly on real leaves and placing the powder-coated leaves under a sheet of glass. When ﬁred, the organic material burns away and the glass powder is fused to the base piece of glass. She ﬁnds this technique to be the perfect way to turn nature prints into distinctive fused glass art. Chasse Davidson uses many items found in nature in her raku pottery.

“Blue Rockfish and Bladderchain” by Christine Holden

She uses leaves to press into the clay or act as stencils during the glazing process. Horsehair and feathers create unique marks as they are imprinted on the pot through ﬁre. Chasse also uses natural materials such as cattails, seaweed, leaves and pinecones as fuel during the reduction process of her raku. These natural materials inﬂuence the color outcomes of the glazes. Chasse has been working with clay for the past 20 years and shares her passion with others through her classes at Toledo Clayworks. “Nature Impressed” will run through Nov. 9, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Monday, inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy 101. For more information, call 541-9949994.
