Sharing the gallery spotlight The upcoming Spotlight show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery will feature a combination of paintings and photography by Michael and Maureen Farer and JerriLynn Woolley. The Farers will be displaying work done individually as well as collaborative projects including graphics and sculptures. Michael graduated from the Art Center College Of Design in Los Angeles, where he majored in Industrial Design. His career was spent designing everything from toys to automobiles, although the majority of his work involved designing exhibits for trade shows. He has had the opportunity to work with various mediums, including watercolors, acrylics and studio markers. Maureen, a native of Rhode Island, met and married Michael after moving to California where

she attended Citrus College and majored in interior design. She further developed her design abilities by attending the West Valley Occupational Center, graduating as a fashion designer for women’s wear. The Farers moved to the Oregon Coast from Austin, Texas, four years ago. JerriLynn Woolley has been enjoying photography most of her life and, since moving to Newport 12 years ago has developed a habit of getting up early in the morning to catch the sunrise. She enjoys traveling with her husband and they love exploring new places to photograph. More of her photography can be seen at oregoncoastphotography.com. The Spotlight Show opens on Saturday, Sept. 19 and runs through Wednesday, Sept. 30, available to view from 11 to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive.

More than e-NAFTA keep you interested The new show at Newport’s Visual Arts Center uses video, photographs and narrative writing to document the collision between smalltown America and the forces of international trade. “Between the Bottomlands & The World,” by Ryan Griﬃs and Sarah Ross of Chicago, explores Beardstown, Illinois, a rural Midwestern town of 6,000 people that, in the wake of North American Free Trade Agreement, has become a place of global exchange and international mobility. The video series tells a story of Beardstown in three acts. “Act One, Submerging Land,” portrays a landscape massively engineered to

redirect water for the production of commodity crops. “Act Two: Granular Space,” is a meditation on the movement and scale of the international grain trade — from one seed to millions of bushels, moved from ﬁeld, to elevator, to barge, to ocean-going vessel. “Act Three: Moving Flesh,” chronicles how and why so many people from around the world have come to Beardstown, a formerly all-white, Sundown town. “Beardstown, Illinois, may be 2,000 miles away from Newport,” said Visual Arts Center Director Tom Webb, “but lessons can be learned here for any smaller town dealing with globalization and natural resources.” Griﬃs and Ross created the project for

Regional Relationships, a group that commissions artists, scholars, writers and activists to create works that investigate the natural, industrial and cultural landscapes of a region. Griﬃs is an associate professor in new media at the School of Art & Design, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign. He received his MFA in studio Art from East Carolina University and his BFA in painting and drawing from the University of North Florida. He creates work and publications that use tourism as an opportunity for critical public encounters. These encounters include public tours of urban parking lots, speculative proposals for parks and hotels and,

most recently, a series of experimental guidebooks. Ross is an adjunct assistant professor of sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She received her BFA from East Carolina University and her MFA from the University of California, Irvine. She has received awards from the University of California Institute for Research in the Arts, the Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowship and the Graham Foundation. Hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, the exhibit will be on display through Saturday, Sept. 26, available to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Video screenings begin at 12:15 and 2:15 pm.

learn a little

Wood; behaving itself

A rather dry topic If you think wood just sits there doing nothing all day long, think again. The wood in that chair you are sitting on is behaving right now as you read these words — checking or cracking, splitting, warping, shrinking or swelling. The behavior of wood is the subject of a Wednesday, Sept. 23, class at Tillamook Bay Community College aimed at wood industry personnel, portable sawmill operators, woodworkers or those just interested in learning more about the physics behind wood drying. Students will learn how to minimize the negative results

of wood drying behaviors as well as how to identify the characteristics that woodworkers have little control over. The class will run from 9 am to noon at the college, 4301 Third Street, Tillamook. Registration is $10 per person and students must sign up by Monday, Sept. 21. Registration forms are available at http://extension. oregonstate.edu/tillamook/ forestry-classes-amp-events or at the OSU Tillamook Extension Oﬃce, 2201 Fourth Street in Tillamook. For more information, contact Jim Reeb at Jim.Reeb@ oregonstate.edu.

LESSON UP! Tillamook County Pioneer Museum’s Great Speaker Series will continue on Saturday, Sept. 19, when Alexander Sager leads an Oregon Humanities Conversation Project discussion entitled “What is Education For?” “Are we learning a love of knowledge and beauty?” Sager asked. “Does our education relate to social justice? Or are we spending billions of education dollars in reforms that only produce competent workers?” Sager is an assistant professor of philosophy and university studies at Portland State University. He specializes in social and political philosophy

Alexander Sager

and is closely involved with PSU projects that collaborate with Portland-area schools in philosophy-related educational projects. The free program will begin at 1 pm at 2106 2nd Street. For more information, call 503-842-4553 or go to www. tcpm.org.

Three chances to brush up Watercolor artist Catherine Hingson will be sharing her skills in a series of classes at venues in Lincoln City and Newport this fall. The classes will begin with a free, one-day session at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, from 9 to 11 am on Monday, Sept. 21. Hingson will share techniques she learned from taking an Eric Wiegardt

class on how to create an area of dominance, color theory and watercolor techniques for creating bold vibrant paintings. Students should bring their own watercolor supplies, reference photos, a sketchpad and pencil. No registration is necessary and students are welcome to come early to set up. On Tuesday, Oct. 27, Hingson will also be

oﬀering a Playful Paintbrush Watercolor Class from 10 am to 3 pm at the Artists’ Studio Association, 620 NW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. This class will focus on creating an area of dominance, color theory and techniques in painting bold, free and easy watercolors. The class will be $25 and Hingson will provide a list of suggested supplies to registered students. To register,

call 503-545-9339 or email playfulpaintbrush@gmail.com. Hingson will be teaching a 10-week Playful Paintbrush Watermedia course at the Oregon Coast Community College in Lincoln City. The classes will run from 2 to 5 pm on Mondays, from Sept. 28 through Dec. 7. For more information, go to http://oregoncoastoc.org/ water-media.

A warm-up act at the casino The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce will hear the case for local warming shelters at its Tuesday, Sept. 22, meeting at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. Guest speaker Richard B. Gartrell, organizing administrator for the Lincoln City Warming Shelter, Inc., will provide insights into the

characteristics and nature of homelessness and will stress the need for volunteers and ﬁnancial support for the citywide warming shelter project. Retired executive dean from South Seattle Community College, Gartrell is a Certiﬁed Association Executive and has overseen

the development of organizations in California, Michigan, Illinois and Washington. He has been a speaker and trainer in the US, Japan, Malaysia, Canada and Australia and taught at Michigan State and the University of Michigan. Gartrell received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from San

Francisco State University and did his doctoral work in Communications at the University of Nebraska. The chamber lunch will begin at 11:45 am at 1777 NW 44th Street. The cost is $12. Guests should RSVP to 541-9943070 or info@lcchamber.com by 5 pm Friday, Sept. 18.

Get in line for new kite class While flying a kite is one of life’s simplest pleasures, designing and building the kite first can make the experience even more rewarding. And Oregon Coast Community College has a new Kite Building class that aims to give every student that Wright brothers feeling — designing and creating their very own flying machine and then watching it take to the air. Taught by Ronda Brewer, a Lincoln City kite builder and competitive flyer, the class teaches students a proven nosew method to create their own unique, durable Tyvek kites. Held on Thursday, Oct. 8, the class is timed so that kitebuilders will be able to take their new creations to the beach the following weekend and send them aloft during the Lincoln City Fall Kite Festival. The class will cover all the steps involved from the initial idea to taking flight, including design, concept and painting. Tuition for the class is $30 plus a materials fee that will range from $10 to $30, depending on the complexity and size of each participant’s kite. The class will be held at Oregon Coast Community College’s Lincoln City campus, 3788 SE High School Drive. Registration is open now, online at oregoncoastcc.org/

every interest. Students can learn about shellﬁsh ecology from a Ph.D. candidate at the Hatﬁeld Marine Science Center and then join a wild mussel-harvesting outing in Lincoln City, complete with preparation tips. For a complete list of courses, go to oregoncoastcc.org/ CommunityEd.

A winning combination

Exercise Hatha positive effect Students of all levels are invited to try the new Gentle Hatha Yoga class starting on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the Newport 60+ Activity Center. A low-impact exercise, Hatha yoga diﬀers from other styles of yoga in that it focuses more on breathing and poses than on meditation. Instructor Kelly Ardinger will teach students how to focus their thoughts and bodies to help relieve stress and promote relaxation.

Other beneﬁts of yoga can be increased mobility and ﬂexibility of the joints, lowered blood pressure, increased lung capacity and breathing control and increased mood levels and concentration. The class will run from 11:45 am to 12:45 pm each Tuesday at the center, 20 SE 2nd Street. For more information or to reserve a spot, drop by the center or call 541-265-9617.

At Lincoln City’s 50th anniversary parade

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

t has been 50 years since The Beatles performed before a world-record crowd of 55,600 fans at New York City’s Shea Stadium during the height of Beatlemania. The crowds will be a tad smaller this Saturday, Sept. 19, when Lincoln City holds its 50th anniversary parade. But bear in mind that while the Fab Four went on to plenty more gigs throughout their career, Lincoln City’s parade might well be a genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s because shutting down Main Street gets a little tricky when your Main Street happens to be a state highway. But, after months of planning, parade organizers will close oﬀ one side of Highway 101 on Saturday morning, allowing a procession of bands, marchers and ﬂoats of all kinds to mark the town’s golden anniversary in style. The parade is the pinnacle of a yearlong celebration marking 50 years since the communities of Cutler City, Taft, Nelscott, Delake and Oceanlake came together to form Lincoln

City in 1965. Starting at 10 am, participants will begin making their way from the Lincoln City Cultural Center at NE 6th Street northward for just shy of a mile to the Lincoln City Community Center at NE 22nd Street. During the parade, most traﬃc will be diverted down side streets. But the west side of the highway will remain open to log trucks, RVs and other large vehicles — all of which will be allowed to trundle through at ﬁve miles per hour. Organizers recommend coming early to snag a good viewing spot along the parade route. For pre-parade entertainment, the Bijou Theatre will be playing old-fashioned cartoons with free admission starting at 8 am. Parking is limited, so carpooling, walking and biking are encouraged. There will be no parking along the parade route starting at 2 am on Friday, Sept. 18. Some parking will be available at Lincoln Auto Supply, where people with limited mobility can watch the parade from their vehicles. Participants, spectators and everyone else is invited to a post-parade party at Kirtsis Park across the street from the Lincoln City Community Center. Partygoers can enjoy a free barbecue, desserts for sale and games including a water balloon toss, giant Jenga, ladderball and Frisbee

golf. “We are going to throw out some stuﬀ so people hang around and have some fun,” organizing team member Sandy Gruber said. “And we’ll sit around for a while and pat ourselves on the back for being 50 years old.”

Summon the ambassadors! While locals are sure to see a lot of old friends in the parade, one ﬂoat will be packed with a lot of new faces. Chamber of commerce ambassadors from towns across the state will be taking part in the procession as part of the 2015 Oregon Ambassador Convention happening this weekend at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. The group is packing in a host of talks, workshops and presentations during their four-day stay but will still have plenty of time left over to check out what makes Lincoln City a fun place to live. Joni Jackson, a Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce ambassador who spearheaded the convention planning, said the gathering gives Lincoln City the chance to build positive memories in every corner of the state. “It will be about showcasing our hometown,” she said. “They are the socialites at every chamber of commerce across the state of Oregon.”

Several of the convention’s social activities are open to all, giving everyone the chance to rub shoulders with Oregon’s movers and shakers. • On Friday, Sept. 18, Lincoln City Cultural Center will host A Taste of Lincoln City, showcasing the town’s culinary highlights as well as other local products and services. Restaurants serving up their specialties will include The Nelscott Café, Vivian’s Restaurant, The Wildﬂower Grill, Deli 101 and Pig N’ Pancake. Tickets are $15 per person and the event will run from 6 to 9 pm at 540 NE Hwy. 101. • On Saturday, Sept. 19, Chinook Winds Casino Resort will host a cocktail reception from 5 to 7 pm in its Mikonotunne and Nehalem rooms at 1777 NW 44th Street. Tickets are $15 apiece and include hors d’oeuvres, a drink ticket and a no-host bar. • After the cocktail reception, the action will shift to the downstairs banquet room at the Chinook Winds hotel for a beach party luau, featuring a huge seafood buﬀet and live rock n’ roll from The Ocean. The party will run from 7 to 9 pm, with tickets $35 apiece. For more information on convention activities, call the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce at 541-9943070. A full list of convention activities is available online at http://lincolncity.info.

HITTING NEW HEIGHTS

Perched on the 10th floor of the Inn at Spanish Head, Fathoms offers spectacular views of the ocean and Salishan Spit

Fathoms restaurant celebrates three-diamond rating from AAA Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean from 10 stories above the beach, Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place to watch the changing of the seasons at the Oregon Coast. And, as well as admiring the late summer light through the wraparound windows, guests can also watch the seasons change on their plates, as the restaurant adapts its menu to take advantage of fall delicacies. Led by Executive Chef Ken Martin, the kitchen team is preparing to add a Pacific Northwest twist to a menu that focuses on combining local ingredients with Mediterranean preparations. Martin said the fine-tuned recipes will make use of Oregon favorites including hazelnuts and fresh-foraged mushrooms. “We like to put out the freshest product possible,” he said. “We are always striving for that.” And when it comes to reading the Oregon Coast seasons, Martin is an expert. Born in McMinnville, he graduated from Lincoln City’s Taft High before beginning his culinary education at Chemeketa Community College in Salem. From there, he went on to complete a culinary apprenticeship in San Francisco, setting himself up for a career that has included stints in Los Angeles, Palm Springs and Seattle. In 1993, Martin returned to the coast to raise his family, working first as sous chef to Rob Pounding at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort before moving to lead the team at Fathoms. This varied experience left him with a deep appreciation for different food cultures and how to meld their various flavors and techniques. “In San Francisco there was a lot of international influences: a lot of French cuisine, Asian influences, Creole influences,” he said. “The focus at Salishan was much more Northwest regional, using produce from local farms and pulling fish from right off the boat.” That access to fresh seafood is the best thing about being a chef on the Oregon Coast, Martin said, with current catches including halibut, lingcod and rockfish. While the Fathoms menu has something for every palate, seafood reigns supreme, with popular dishes including grilled wild Pacific salmon with a choice of tarragon butter sauce

or mustard-horseradish vinaigrette; sea scallops served with pancetta, stewed leeks and tomatoes in a chardonnaycream sauce; and pan-roasted cod topped with feta cheese, olives, sun dried tomatoes and pistachios. Fish also features prominently on the restaurant’s list of specials. Recent offerings have included grilled swordfish with sweet pickled red grapes and artichoke in a light butter sauce as well as several blackened fish dishes served with a cucumber coulis — a popular combination created by chef de cuisine Russell Strickland. Martin said changing up the menu helps keep the kitchen staff energized as well as offering restaurant diners the chance to try out new flavors and combinations. Whatever dish they go for, guests would be well advised to save some room for one of Fathoms’ delectable desserts, displayed prominently in a glass case that diners file past on their way in. The range includes favorites like peanut butter pie, marionberry cobbler and crème brûlée as well as occasional specials such as lemon mousse. Putting desserts by the entrance means some diners are thinking about a sweet treat all the way through dinner, but Martin said it also gives people the chance to act on their impulsive side. “Sometimes, people that are staying here, they stop on their way out and order a couple of desserts for their room,” he said. After more than 20 years cooking at the coast, Martin’s affection for the area remains undimmed. He said he is always striving to hit new heights of service, ably assisted by a veteran kitchen staff, many of whom have been at Fathoms for eight to 10 years. “We have a great team,” he said, “and we’ve been able to accomplish quite a bit.” “Quite a bit” turns out to be quite an understatement. Earlier this year, Fathoms became only the third restaurant in Lincoln City to receive a three-diamond rating from AAA. Fathoms Penthouse Restaurant and Bar is located at the Inn at Spanish Head, 4009 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For details and reservations, call 541-9941601 or 800-452-8127. To book lodging reservations or learn more about the hotel, go to www.spanishhead.com.

Several acts of mercy

email: info@capekiwandarvresort.com

Award-winning Broadway playwright and actor Michael Milligan will bring his oneman play, “Mercy Killers,” to the Newport Performing Arts Center on Friday, Sept. 18. Billed as “cry from the heart, not a prescription,” the play illuminates the dark side of the American medical system. The play tells the story of Joe, whose conservative values of self-reliance and personal responsibility are thrown into question when the wife he loves dearly is diagnosed with cancer. Mercy Killers is a tragic story of love and anger, of struggle with insurance companies, drug companies and proﬁt-driven hospitals. The performance, hosted by Health Care for All-Oregon and Physicians for a National Health Program, will begin at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street. After the show, David

WAVE. HELLO. Fun is a shore thing at the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

Surf contests give contestants the chance to score big if the waves are right and luck is on their side, but Pacific City’s Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic guarantees spectators a good time — all without wrapping a single inch of their body in neoprene. The event, which runs from Friday, Sept. 18, to Sunday, Sept. 20, includes a surf contest, live music, a brewfest, silent auctions and raffles — and is completely open to the public. “We definitely invite people to come that aren’t in the contest,” said organizer Jeff Mollencop of Moment Surf Company. “Actually all the extra things we’ve been adding are making it even more entertaining for the person who is coming just to watch.” The fun starts on Friday at the registration party, with a Bob Marley tribute band, a bonfire on the beach and a beer garden, and continues Saturday

when the contest starts in the water; but things will still be happening on the beach. “Every year during the event we’ve had a big tent set up with things like the silent auction, but everybody is usually on the beach watching or participating in the event so the tent is quiet,” Mollencop said. “Now that we’re having the brewfest from 2 to 6 on Saturday, that will draw people to the tent, so people will be buying tokens for beer, and also looking at the silent auction items, our vendors’ displays, and there will even be raﬄe tickets on sale there. It’s a great way to continue fundraising at a time when it used to be quiet.” Those funds are crucial because, while organizers want people to have fun, the event does have a higher purpose. “We’ve been raising funds for a skate park in Paciﬁc City,” Mollencop said. “We’ve raised enough so far to get started. It would be great if this event

could raise enough to get it finished, but the hope is that now that we have the plans and the engineering done, we can go to the different entities that donate money to projects like these for grants. Dreamland Skateparks is our designer, and we should have plans on display at the contest.” The park will sit on some 10,000 square feet of a 2.5-acre site behind Doryland Pizza that was donated to the community. The area will also include a playground, volleyball courts and additional parking. “The lease is signed, we’ve moved dirt for the parking lot,” Mollencop said, “now we just need people to come and buy beer.” The main company that has signed on to put the brew into brewfest comes as no surprise — Pacific City’s own Pelican Brewing Company — although others will also be in attendance to fill out the menu of hops on offer. “We partnered with the Pelican to add the brewfest to the event this year,” Mollencop said. “We’re trying to raise even more money for the skate park and the Pelican is 100-percent in support of the park so they were happy to partner up.” Guests will receive a

commemorative glass and can purchase tasters or full pints from Pelican as well as Bouy Beer, Fort George Brewing, Seaside Brewing, 10 Barrel Brewing, Two Kilts Brewing and Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. After the Brewfest comes the contest party, which will be rocking to the surf tunes of local band the RetroActive Gamma Rays. “Our sound is a mix of ’60s classic surf songs like the Ventures, and ’90s California punk,” said bass player Taj Richardson. “It’s fast and really fun.” Although formed about a decade ago, the band had been taking some time oﬀ for family and work

commitments but are lately making music a priority again. “We’re getting ready to get back into the studio and put out an album that we are hoping to put out on vinyl in the spring,” Richardson said. The evening is being partially sponsored by the Pelican: “They will be donating beer for the party and there will be food,” Mollencop said. “Again the public is welcome, we really encourage it.” The contest continues until 3 pm on Sunday and the awards ceremony starts soon after. According to Mollencop, people who never entered the water even stay for the contest results. “It’s amazing how many people we get that come year after year that don’t participate,” he said. “They just love to watch it.” All events happen at the Cape Kiwanda parking lot in Paciﬁc City at the end of Cape Kiwanda Drive, or on the beach directly in front of the lot.

Steer yourself towards Newport Newport’s Writers on the Edge will present an evening with a wide-ranging writer on Saturday, Sept. 19, when they welcome Wallace Kaufman to the Oregon Coast. Kaufman’s writing is as varied as his pursuits in coastal Oregon and around the globe. His 1979 book, “The Beaches Are Moving: The Drowning of America’s Shoreline,” accurately warned of many disasters that happened in the following years. His fiction, non-fiction, journalism and poetry have appeared in major magazines and newspapers in the US, England and Kazakhstan. His research and reporting has taken him to Central and South America and to the Arctic and Pacific coasts of Siberia. In Latin America, he helped indigenous writers establish themselves and translated the first two books by Mayan writer Victor Montejo. In Kazakhstan, he worked with Kazakhs on translations of their principal writers. In July, his

collaboration with Iranian writer Alireza Taghdarreh on the ﬁrst translation of Thoreau’s “Walden” into

Persian took him to Walden Pond and the annual meeting of the Thoreau Society. He has taught writing

at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Duke University, written a composition textbook, and

served twice as writer-inresidence at Bucknell, where he conducted workshops on writing about natural history and the environment. Kaufman lives in the forest overlooking Poole Slough southeast of Newport and in 2013 published “Invasive Plants: Guide to Identification and the Impacts and Control of Common North American Species.” He is at work on a collection of poems, an illustrated journal, a biography of the biologist Georg Wilhelm Steller and is collaborating on a science fiction novel with one of America’s leading astrobiologists and molecular biologists. Kauffman’s presentation will begin at 7 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive, and will be followed by an open mic for local writers. General admission is $6; students are admitted free. For more information, go to www.writersontheedge.org.

Enjoy the spoke-n word with a local writers series The multitalented Brian Benson will be the guest speaker at the Manzanita Writers Series this Saturday, Sept. 19, when he will read from his novel, “Going Somewhere: A Bicycle Journey Across America.” Benson didn’t plan to write a book when he set out on his 2,500-mile bike trip across country with a new girlfriend. Later, inspired to write by teachers like Cheryl Strayed and Karen Karbo, he created a memoir that is as much about an internal journey and relationship journey as it is about a bike ride. The meandering approach to writing is in keeping with Benson’s creative process.

“Over the years, I’ve built rock walls in northern Michigan and played jazz guitar in western Guatemala,” he said. “I’ve edited a magazine for bohemian

travelers and served egg rolls to Madisonian suburbanites. I’ve taught Spanish to ﬁve-year-olds and English to 50-year-olds and helped people learn to ﬁx tiny bikes

for tiny children. And all of this, in its own way, has led me to writing.” His new project is “The River Signal,” an original radio story written on a paddlewheel riverboat as it floats the Mississippi. Benson’s talk will begin at 7 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue, and will be followed by an open mic where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. The suggested theme for the evening’s open mic is “Me and My Bike.” Admission for the evening is $7. For more information, go to hoffmanblog.org or

contact Kathie Hightower at kathiejhightower@gmail.com • Benson will also teach a writing workshop on Saturday, Sept. 19, on “The Elusive Art of Funny HaHa.” Whether you want to use humor in fiction or nonfiction, Benson will show how to find the funny in your writing. The group will read strong examples, discuss humor in writing and do a guided write. Students should bring a short (500-word maximum) piece for critique. The workshop is $30 per person and will run from 10 am to 12:30 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. Register at hoffmanblog.org.

GET SHAKEN UP Award-winning author Bonnie Henderson will read from her book “The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast,” in Newport on Saturday, Sept. 19. Henderson guides her readers through the complex science of a tsunami by telling the story of Seaside resident Tom Horning, who was nearly swept out to sea as a 10-yearold when a surge hit the coast in 1964. Horning, who grew up to be a geologist, understands the science and the politics surrounding earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the complicated psychology of living in a tsunami zone. And, living at the mouth of the Seaside estuary, no one stands to lose more. His home will be among the first to go. Henderson’s 2008 book, “Strand: An Odyssey of Pacific Ocean Debris,” was listed as a Best Book of 2008 by the Seattle Times and was a finalist for the 2009 Oregon Book Awards. She is also the author of “Best Hikes with Kids: Oregon,” and” Day Hiking: Oregon Coast.” A resident of Eugene, she serves as communications coordinator for North Coast Land Conservancy and is active as a volunteer for CoastWatch. Saturday’s free presentation will begin at 2 pm in the Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. Copies of Henderson’s book will be available for purchase and signing. For more information, call 541-265-2153 or go to www. newportlibrary.org.

Just two one cannot remember McCall without months later, news of the Watergate breakremembering his statement about visiting in broke. The scandal donimated most of the Oregon: “Come visit us again and again. This news for the rest of the year. On October 10, is a state of excitement. But for heaven’s sake, Spiro Agnew resigned as vice-president.

He stood up and strolled in front of the big desk, taking a seat in an armchair. “Oh, just ﬁne, Mr. President,” EPA director McCall replied. “I think we’re starting to shake some of the cobwebs out of the place, but we’re going to have a hard time getting some of your current legislative agenda through Congress.” In short, I loved the book. It is extraordinarily well researched and written. Hall has done an amazing job of setting the story against the reality of what was actually taking place, so much so that I almost felt that the entire story

was true, if only… Doris Penwell, former executive secretary to Governor McCall sums up better than I the essence of “McCallandia:” “Bill Hall’s fantasy on what might have been for “the Oregon story” is so true to the sense of the Tom McCall era that when you ﬁnish this work, you wonder how the rest of the nation could have missed out on what Oregon takes for granted as a way to live. A truly pleasurable read for an Oregonian.” Richard Emery is a professor of business at Linﬁeld College, McMinnville, and a stalwart actor and director at Lincoln City’s Theatre West. He lives in Neotsu.

suspect that somewhere out there, in a country far away, sits a computer tech just praying he doesn’t get my call. And I feel bad about that. I do. But not as bad as I feel about the laptop hell I’ve been inhabiting for the past six weeks. Now that, I feel bad about. Bad enough that when my inner witch unleashes the flying monkeys on the poor tech who has done nothing but try to be nice, I don’t even try to summon the good witch to intervene. I have had pretty lousy luck with laptops. My first, an IBM which I loved, was less than a year old when I decided to protect it on our drive from Colorado to Oregon by smooshing it under the seat. Turned out, I’d protected it so well, the screen imploded. I followed that with what we’ll just call Brand B. It was cheaper than the IBM and I got what I paid for. I’d be working on page four and suddenly, the cursor would take off scrolling to page 11. The computer tech said it might be high blood pressure, which I didn’t have — until, I got off the phone with her, of course. The laptop I’ve been using for the past few years was bought for me by my former employer (to replace the high-end Lenovo — formerly IBM — I loved). It was also a Brand B, and from the start, I hated it. It was slow on the Internet and frequently appeared to be possessed, highlighting on its own numerous sentences or even graphs, and then deleting them. I bitched about it bitterly every time I opened it up. Then the hard drive crashed. Rather than replace it, I had it repaired. I said I was being frugal. It sounds better than being cheap. Finally this summer, I bought a new one. We’ll call it Brand C. It was lightweight and a racy shade of red and I thought we’d get along OK, especially given the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10. The upgrade arrived just about the time I had personalized the laptop to my liking and copied everything from the old computer. I uploaded the upgrade and found I had no wireless connection. So I called the Brand C experts. We took out the battery. Unplugged it. Rebooted it. We ran diagnostic tests. And then, an hour into it, we got disconnected. I called again, waiting on hold for a half and hour. This time, we uploaded a driver to a zip drive on my desktop and then installed it on

cliff notes:

HEADLINE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED the laptop. Nada. So, it was time for recovery mode and back to Windows 8.1. Once again, we uploaded the missing driver and tried Windows 10 again, and two hours later, voilà. That lasted for about, oh, seven days until the laptop decided it was done communicating with the modem. By now, I was getting a bit cranky. Back to the phone I went, first, enduring the usual endless hold time, followed by the usual inept attempts (‘First, we will shut down the computer and remove the battery.’) at a fix. Finally, the tech decided we must go back to Windows 8.1 yet again… And that’s about the time, I mounted the broom and demanded they pick it up and fix it themselves. But that meant I had to talk to a supervisor, which meant another 20-minute wait while listening to music that I swear was going make me spontaneously combust. Ten days later, the computer was back. I turned it on and lo and behold, it was still suffering the same failure to communicate. And so we began all over again. But at that point, I wasn’t even pretending to be sane. Still somehow, the tech managed to persuade me to try again. If I would just go buy an Internet cable and hook up to the modem, my laptop would update itself and my problems solved. Well gee, if it’s that easy, why didn’t you say so in the first place? So I did, but it didn’t. And on it went. More phone calls. More time on hold. More solutions that failed. My new laptop now sits on the porch awaiting a pick up as I write on my old, muchmaligned Brand B laptop. Funny thing is, I’m beginning to think I just might grow to like the old clunker.
