A golden opportunity An enduring symbol of the quest for nuclear disarmament will sail into Newport this Friday, Sept. 23, as the Golden Rule peace boat continues its West Coast tour.

And members of the Golden Rule crew will be on hand at Rogue Brewery on Sunday, Sep. 25, to explain the history and continuing mission of the vessel.

The Golden Rule was among the very first of the environmental and peace vessels to go to sea, setting out in 1958 to oppose atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons in the South Pacific.

The 35-foot wooden

sailboat set out from San Pedro toward the US nuclear test zone at Eniwetok atoll in the Marshall Islands, but she never made it that far. The US Coast Guard boarded the vessel at Hawaii, and the crew were arrested, tried and jailed in Honolulu.

The Golden Rule and its mission are credited with helping ignite the worldwide public outrage against nuclear weapons that resulted in the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963.

The vessel resurfaced in late 2010 after it sank in a storm near a boat yard on Humboldt Bay. After boatyard owners

Leroy and Dalene Zerlang found out about the ship’s historic value, the Quakers launched a campaign with Veterans For Peace to have it restored.

The ship’s visit to Newport is part of a tour that has included stops in Portland, Hood River and Puget Sound and now sees the vessel on its way back home to Humboldt Bay. Sunday’s presentation will start at 5 pm at 2320 SE OSU Drive. The event will last roughly three hours, with refreshments provided.

For more information, go to VFPGoldenRuleProject.org.

WAVE really missed you

Competitive surfing will return to Newport after a six-year hiatus this weekend as the first annual Agate Beach Surf Classic brings two days of adult and youth competition to town.

Surfers from across the Pacific Northwest will descend on Newport to suit up for the event, organized by Newport Parks and Recreation and running from Saturday, Sept.

24, to Sunday, Sept. 25.

This contest is the revival of The Rogue Gathering, a former competition started by local surf legend and board

shaper, Steve Swan. With the help of Ossie’s Surf Shop, Ocean Pulse, Rogue Brewery and volunteer surfers, the City of Newport has been able to breathe new life into this much-missed event.

Surfers will gather at 8 am on Saturday and Sunday for the first heats and will be competing in eight divisions: Youth 12 & Under, Junior Women 13-19, Junior Men 13-19, Women 20-49, Men 20-49, Women 50+, Men 50+ and Stand Up Paddleboard.

Competitors, family and friends will also get together

Saturday evening for a contest party hosted by Rogue Brewery in South Beach.

The event is a fund-raiser, with 100 percent of the proceeds going toward the Newport Recreation Center’s youth programs scholarship.

Advance registration is $40, rising to $50 on the day of the contest if any spots are still available.

There is no charge for spectators.

For more information, go to www.NewportSurfClassic. com or call Mike Cavanaugh at 541-574-5453.

Michelle soon finds herself thrown into the middle of a quickly thickening plot, where the legacy of Genghis Khan meets the hunt for FOXP5, a genetic transcription factor that could herald the dawn of new human species.

Kaufman’s previous books include “Coming Out of the Woods: A Memoir,” “No Turning Back,” and “The Beaches Are Moving: The Drowning of America’s Shoreline.” In addition to his writing career, Kaufman

learn a little

THE PLACE TO BE Oregonians from all backgrounds are being invited to discuss what the concept of “place” means to them at a Sunday, Sept. 25, discussion session at Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public library.

The 90-minute discussion is part of the “This Place” series sponsored

by Oregon Humanities, which sees similar gatherings taking place across the state this fall.

The discussions provide Oregonians with an opportunity to explore their relationship to the places they’ve come from and the places they are in now.

Participants will also be asked to consider how communities have lost or gained land and power, and how this has affected people within these communities; to consider the history of neighborhoods, communities and the state, and how those places have changed over time; and to explore options for meaningful engagement with their places and communities.

After 25 discussions around the state, the “This Place” series will culminate in a one-day gathering on Oct. 28, at the Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg.

These conversations will be led by trained facilitators from the fields of tribal resource management, anthropology, conflict resolution, applied theology, natural resource management, ethnic studies and fisheries science. To learn more about the one-day gathering, go to http://oregonhumanities.org/ programs/this-place.

Sunday’s discussion will start at 3 pm at Driftwood Public Library, 801 SW Hwy. 101, on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex.

For more information about this free community discussion, contact Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney at 541996-1251 or kbrodbeck-kenney@ lincolncity.org.

The Science on Tap series will continue this Wednesday, Sept. 28, with a presentation from sea turtle expert Dr. Selina Heppell at the Rogue Brewery in Newport.

One of the most endangered species of sea turtle in the world, the Kemp’s Ridley, made a remarkable comeback from near extinction in the 1980s. The population was rebounding at 12 to 18 percent per year, but the rebound halted in 2010, the same year as the largest oil spill in US history. Heppell will reveal what is known about the population

change and why scientists cannot determined exactly what caused it, illustrating the importance of comprehensive monitoring of endangered species.

Heppell has been studying sea turtle populations for 20 years and has served on several expert working groups and recovery teams for the National Marine Fisheries Service. She also works on fisheries management issues in the Pacific Northwest, and helped develop the Fisheries Ecosystem Plan for the Pacific Fisheries Management Council. She is

currently department head in Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University based in Corvallis and maintains a lab at Newport’s Hatfield Marine Science Center.

The Science on Tap event will begin at 6 pm in the downstairs boardroom at the brewery 2320 SE OSU Drive, with doors opening at 5:15 pm. The family-friendly event is free and open to the public.

Food and beverage will be available for purchase from the regular menu.

For more information, call 541867-0234.

Wash up in Manzanita Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts will host a two-day watercolor class on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9, aimed at teaching the basics of the medium.

Entitled “Shaping Your Watercolors: Composition, Color & Concepts for Beginners,” the class will cover the basic concepts of creating compositions, color and color mixing and painting techniques.

Instructor Carolyn Gates of Eugene will show

students how to apply the concepts to painting from life and from photographs.

The class is designed for beginners aged 18 and older.

Some drawing skills are preferred, but not necessary.

Gates studied studio art at Mira Costa College in Oceanside, California, and watercolor painting at Lane Community College in Eugene.

She won a commission in 2004 to paint the Stations of the Cross for a permanent installation at St. Bede’s

Episcopal Church outside Portland. Since then she has been awarded several private commissions in watercolor and colored pencil.

The class will run from 10 am to 4 pm both days.

Tuition will be $100, with an additional $4 materials fee for paper.

To register for the class and see a list of supplies that students must provide, go to hoffmanblog. org and follow links for “Programs” and “Register for Workshops.”

A PINCER MOVEMENT

GET CAUGHT BETWEEN CLASSIC CARS AND CRUSTACEANS AT CRUZIN’ FOR CRAB IN WALDPORT

By Barbara B. Covell For the TODAY

Classic cars and Dungeness crab are a natural pairing for the peaceful community of Waldport, and the two will share top billing this Saturday, Sept. 24, when the town holds its 17th annual classic car and citywide crabfest — Cruzin’ For Crab.

Sponsored by the Waldport Chamber of Commerce, Cruzin’ For Crab will see the old Waldport High School property on Highway 34 and Crestline Drive packed with everything from convertibles and muscle cars to street rods, trucks and foreign automobiles. Awards will also be given for Best Club Participation, Farthest Distance and Chamber Choice.

Organizers Lori Eaton and Cheryl Stokes say that they expect a minimum of 75 classic cars entering the awards competitions and cruising north to south on Highway 101. Registration runs from 8 to 10 am, with pre-entry fees at $12, or $15 at show.

“We look forward to another successful fun event,” Eaton said.

“The old cars from Model A’s to roadsters bring in a great crowd of car enthusiasts. These beautiful cars come from all over the Northwest, with registrants from Vancouver, Washington, to Roseburg, Oregon.”

The first 50 entrants will also receive goodie bags filled with novelty items donated by local merchants.

Judging for the automobile categories begins at 1 pm, with winners announced between 3:30 and 4 pm after judging by trophy sponsors and prominent car aficionados. An original fused glass crab trophy hand crafted by

local artisan Scott DeYoung will be awarded to top participants in the primary 13 categories.

Public prizes will be drawn every 15 minutes starting at noon. Raffle tickets at six for $5 give guests the chance to win glass floats, gift certificates from local restaurants, candy baskets, hand-crafted jewelry and more. The day also offers a 50/50 cash drawing at 3:30 pm, with tickets $1 apiece and the winner receiving one half of the total cash jackpot.

And DJ Nita will be on hand throughout, playing the sounds of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and more.

For crab aficionados, be sure to follow signs throughout the

12 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • september 23, 2016

city for crabmeat specials at the Hilltop Cafe, Salty Dawg, China Restaurant, Flounder Inn & the Greenside Golf Course Restaurant.

An early coffee and breakfast will be served at the Community Presbyterian Church located at Hwy 34 and Bay Street, beginning at 8:30 am, with admission by donation.

Local vendors and art stands will be located throughout downtown, showcasing some of Waldport’s finest culinary and artistic treasures.

For more information or registration information, contact Cheryl Stokes at 541-563-4478 or Lori Eaton at 541-270-5376.

On your bike

Across the field from the car display is the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic cycling race, featuring more than 200 bicycle riders racing up to 71 miles along forest roads between Waldport and Yachats. The Oregon Coast Gravel Epic presented by Oregon Coast Bank is an endurance event that showcases the raw beauty of the ancient Siuslaw National Forest.

The course features aid stations with electrolyte drinks and a host of other goodies, sandwich makings, Nutella and other delicious offerings. Bike support is also provided at aid stations, in addition to lead and follow vehicles. After the finish line, riders can enjoy a delicious post-ride meal and complimentary Yachats Brewing beer (and non-alcoholic options), in addition to Hilltop Bistro beverages in a post-ride celebration.

GET THE LOW DOWN ON THE COAST The seldom-seen topography revealed only during minus tides will be on show at Newport’s Pacific Maritime Heritage Center when “Low Tide Landscapes” opens on Thursday, Sept. 22.

The exhibit features work by nine members of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild, who make regular visits to the beaches of the Central Oregon Coast during low tides, especially the minus tides that occur in the spring and early summer.

The photographers work in a variety of photographic media, including pinhole, iPhone, infrared and platinum, as well as straight and manipulated digital photography.

“Like most photographers, we’re always looking for new things to see in the world around us and new ways to see them,” said Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman.

“One place that never disappoints is the coast at very low tides. It’s a combination of seascape and landscape, and a photographer’s dreamland.”

Joining Bergeman in the exhibit are

Corvallis photographers Bill Laing, Jack Larson, John Ritchie, Dave McIntire, Craig Hanson and Kat Sloma, along with Kurt Norlin of Albany and Phil Coleman of Philomath.

Art lovers have a few weeks to decide whether they agree with the verdict handed down in the third Annual Juried Plein Air Show, which is on display through Oct. 2 in Toledo.

The show features works by 10 selected artists who created paintings of the Yaquina watershed and estuary over a three-month period.

This year’s theme was “Toledo; Where Art and Industry Meet” and the contest was juried by William Shumway of Corvallis. The winners, Ivan Kelly, Susan Kuznitsky, Marion Moir and Colleen Caubin, were announced during Toledo’s Labor Day Art Walk and will share $2,000 in prize money.

The show is available to view from noon to 4 pm Wednesday through Sunday at the Yaquina River Museum of Art 151, NE Alder Street.

A

s many Oregonians know, our beaches were nearly taken from us early on by powerful private development interests.

Our shores were saved for us by enlightened Governor Oswald West (1873-1960), who proclaimed the entire coast of Oregon to the high-tide line a public highway, thus preserving access for future generations. In 1967, another forward-thinking governor, Tom McCall, mortared Oswald’s foundation into law. But for these crucial early actions, those of us who do not own oceanfront property would have little or no access to our beaches.

Born and raised in Oregon, I took this remarkable pelagic patrimony for granted, mine as if by divine right. Transplanted to California at age 20, the discovery of extensive beach privatization smacked me like a sneaker wave. High barbedwire fences scarred the face of the sand, segregating the rich from the common cattle. These domains were posted with huge, eye-polluting signs threatening in several languages KEEP OUT — PRIVATE PROPERTY — TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED. Had Oregon fallen into political hands less altruistic and environmentally conscious than those of West and McCall, this California calamity would have been ours.

While we in Oregon are thus fortunate beyond reckoning, with this

matchless bounty comes our shared responsibility to care for and maintain it. Our beaches and their ecosystems are stressed far more severely than many of us may realize. Through our ignorance and indifference it may all be lost, to our measureless detriment, forever. It is essential that residents and visitors alike help keep our mutual property free from thoughtlessly discarded and tidal-borne non-biodegradable waste, basically including anything made of plastic, Styrofoam, rubber, metal or cellophane.

This past spring on my beachcleaning walks, I had to dodge innumerable decaying corpses of seabirds, dead in droves, visibly chock-full of cigarette butts and bits of Styrofoam mistaken for food.

While it is tragic that scores of our birds are starving to death owing to the dramatic reduction in their food supply caused by the warming of the seas, some of that is not our fault and much of it has progressed beyond our control. Conversely, I believe criminality exists in the entirely avoidable, utterly reprehensible trashing of our beaches, greatly within our control.

On my beach-cleaning expeditions, the garbage I find most often consists of beer and soft drink bottles, cans and lids, drive-through coffee cups and stir sticks, fast-food wrappers and plastic bags. Certainly, merchants are not

to blame for the despicable behavior of their customers, but I believe the situation is helped when food-to-go establishments add to their signage a reminder such as Please Keep Litter in the Can and Off the Sand.

Despite the daunting magnitude of the task, it does not actually take much time and effort to keep our beaches clean, if we all participate. While this Saturday’s annual beach-clean-up event organized by SOLVE is terrific, resulting in the removal of literally tons of garbage, we do not have to wait for this official occasion to clean our beaches. We can do this on our own any and every day of the year with minimal, inexpensive equipment.

When I head for the beach, I just fling over my shoulder a sturdy totebag, containing plastic garbage bags, disposable gloves, hand sanitizer and a pair of long-handled barbecue tongs, purchased second-hand for 99 cents.

It’s pretty easy to keep a kit like this in your trunk or strapped to the back of your bike.

I regret to report that in summer I easily fill a 13-gallon garbage bag in about half an hour. Bearing in mind that I am a visually impaired 71-yearold, and thus progress in turtle-time to avoid falling on rocks or tripping over driftwood, underscores just how incredibly much waste lies is in a given small area. Despite my limitations, my haul of three to five bulging bags

of disgusting yuck-muck per week is better than nothing.

With this predisposition, I was tonging along one morning, ruminating on the lack of affordable housing on the coast and how I might participate in ameliorating this dire situation. In vain I had been reviewing all possible types of homes — mobile, manufactured and so-called “tiny.”

Suddenly I saw in front of me a Pepsi can, rolling gently on edge of the tide. Cursing the slob who had not disposed of it properly, I snatched it up and was immediately stopped in my tracks at the sight of the dainty denizens dwelling inside.

The pull-tab had been bent back just far enough to let move in some itty-bitty gray shrimpy-types, which is as close as my eyes could come to identifying them. Theirs was a large extended family, tucked in cozily, several members of which came to the front door to see who was disturbing their breakfast. Several little translucent feelers waggled curiously at me and tickled the end of my now ungloved fingers. No doubt concluding I was too big to haul inside, tasted rancid and would likely be tough and stringy anyway, they promptly turned tail and retreated, in effect slamming the door and leaving me on the porch like an annoying encyclopedia salesman of old.

Collecting the can would have

killed the clan. I tried gently shaking the fanciful RV, hoping the little squatters would leap out onto the sand. Nobody budged. I could not bring myself to put their home in my bag and make it their coffin. I placed it back at the edge of the foam and watched it resume its journey. I know not whether the colony lived happily ever after or even beyond the hour, but in this instance I felt life was more important than litter. Although I would never trash a beach for less than life, it is incontrovertible that I littered our beach, no matter how I justify my decision. I stayed on, collecting another bag, the rising wind scouring my face with gritty sand, as penance.

Poet Lynn Ungar, poignantly fighting against environmental degradation, puts it best: “How can you leave your heart open to such vast, pervasive sadness? How can you close your eyes to the riot of joy and beauty that remains? The solutions, if there are any to be had, are complex, detailed and demanding. The answers are immediate and small.” We can do the immediate and the small. If we are to continue to be able to enjoy living in one of the most beautiful natural locations on the planet, we must recognize that our beaches are our true treasure. Burying our heads in the sand will not save them.

Time to gear up for the annual Gravel Epic bike race on the back roads between Waldport and Yachats

By Nancy Steinberg For the TODAY

Road cycling can involve traffic and broken glass.

Mountain biking can involve tricky obstacles and broken bones. But there is a third way to spin your wheels, which has been gaining popularity in recent years: gravel road riding. Originating in the Midwest, rides and races on gravel and other unpaved roads have taken off, and Oregon, with thousands of miles of unimproved roads, is the perfect state for trying out this type of riding.

Enter the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic, a so-called “gravel grinder” race that has been held on the back roads between Waldport and Yachats for the past three years. This year’s Gravel Epic, organized by Mudslinger Events and sponsored by Oregon Coast Bank, is Saturday, Sept. 24, so grease

that chain and get ready to rumble.

Gravel grinders are held all over the country, from the Dirty Kanza, a 200-mile grinder held annually in the Flint Hills of Kansas, to the Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnee in western Massachusetts. The granddaddy of gravel grinders is the Trans Iowa, a 300-mile race held on the back roads of Iowa since 2004. The races are gruelingly long, often entail monstrous climbs, and many require riders to be totally self-sufficient — no tables of Clif bars and Dixie cups of water along the way and no help with a flat tire or broken chain.

The Gravel Epic holds true to form in its length and elevation gain: riders can choose from the Abomination course (71 miles, 8,700 feet of climbing), the Son of Abomination (37 miles and 3,700 feet), or, new for this

year, the Little Abomination (10 miles, 600 feet). However, the Oregon coast is a kinder, gentler place: there are aid stations on this ride as well as technical support along the course (provided by Waldport’s Green Bike CoOp).

The race starts and ends on Crestview Drive in Waldport, but quickly heads off into the nearby wilderness. The route is about 60 percent gravel and 40 percent paved, following Forest Service roads and back routes in the magnificent Siuslaw National Forest as well as paved beauties like the Yachats River Road in Yachats. Finishers will be welcomed back from the outback with food and drink generously provided

by Waldport’s Hilltop Café & Bistro and the Yachats Brewing Company.

“The Gravel Epic is just a weird event,” marveled none other than the event director,

Mike Ripley of Mudslinger Events. “You think, ‘Who would pay to punish themselves like that?’ But the race is so beautiful. There’s so much adventure when you involve gravel, and it’s a great way to get roadies [road bikers] off the pavement.”

Ripley promises grueling climbs, speedy but bumpy downhills and gorgeous scenery all around.

Cheryl Brown, a local mountain biker who rode the Son of Abomination route in about four hours, backs Ripley up on his course description.

“It’s beautiful back there,” she said, “really serene, especially when there’s fog in some of the valleys,” The Gravel Epic is the third race in the 2016 Oregon Triple Crown, an annual cycling event that tests a rider’s endurance and skill in three races over the course of five months. The first event

of the series, the Oregon Gran Fondo, was a 117-mile road race starting in Cottage Grove held in May. In June the Willamette Gran Fondo served as the middle race of the series. Another road race held south of Corvallis, this 87-mile course featured nearly 7,000 miles of climbing through the hills of the Siuslaw National Forest near Alsea Falls and Lobster Valley. Just as for the Gravel Epic, shorter routes are offered for both Gran Fondo rides. Riders that commit to, and ride, the long course of all three events are awarded eternal fame and a custom-designed cycling jersey to commemorate their achievement. Sixty-nine riders are still in contention for that honor this year.

Riders will celebrate the completion of the entire Triple Crown at a blowout party at Tacovore in Eugene on Nov. 5.

Ripley expects about 200 riders for the Gravel Epic this year, and they’ll come on all kinds of bikes — anything but road bikes with skinny tires that won’t hold up to the race’s gnarly conditions. The rise in popularity of gravel riding has inspired bike manufacturers to develop rigs specifically for this kind of riding, with wider tubeless tires, heavier frames and a longer wheelbase than road bikes. But riders give the Gravel Epic a try on whatever bike they’ve got, including mountain and cyclocross bikes. Brown rode the race on her mountain bike and found herself being passed on the uphills by those on cyclocross bikes but she then flew past those same riders on the downhills.

Orchestra blows back into town

JAZZ

Gypsy jazz will swing through the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Wednesday, Sept. 28, with violin, driving bass and the kind of guitar playing that would make Jean “Django” Reinhardt proud.

The Rhythm Future Quartet has a straightforward agenda: to keep alive the spirit of gypsy jazz — made famous by Reinhardt and his contemporaries in the 1930s, which forsook non-guitar percussion of any kind in pursuit of a truly swinging sound.

Named for a Django Reinhardt tune, the band offers up a newly minted sound that is influenced

by the classic Hot Club of France, yet wholly contemporary. Led by violinist Jason Anick and guitarist Olli Soikkeli, the quartet performs dynamic and lyrical arrangements of both gypsy jazz standards and original compositions. With Max O’Rourke on second guitar and Greg Loughman on bass, Rhythm Future is dedicated to expanding the boundaries of a vital genre.

Anick, an award-winning composer and one of the youngest professors at the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston, has shared the stage with an array of artists including Grammywinning guitarist John

Jorgenson, the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, Tommy Emmanuel and Stevie Wonder.

Soikkeli, aka “The Finnish Boy Wonder,” recently made the move from Scandinavia to New York City, where he quickly became a top call guitarist in the bustling Brooklyn jazz scene. He has performed alongside rising star Cyrille Aimee, worldrenowned gypsy guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg, Bucky Pizzarelli and many others.

O’Rourke was the winner of the 2015 Saga Award from DjangoFest Northwest, and at the age of 19 has already toured and recorded with many of the top American gypsy jazz musicians,

GOOD AS IT GETS including John Jorgenson and Gonzalo Bergara.

Loughman is a top call bassist in Boston and has played with luminaries such as Sheila Jordan, Curtis Fuller and George Garzone.

Doors for the Sept. 28 gig will open at 6:30 pm with music starting at 7 pm, 540 NE Hwy. 101.

Tickets, $20 in advance or $22 at the door, are available at lincolncity-culturalcenter. org or by calling 541-9949994.

Volunteers will be selling Northwest beers and wines along with cookies and brownies, and Mountain Man nuts and snacks, all to benefit the center.

The Newport Symphony Orchestra at the Ocean will kick off its 2016-17 season this weekend with a pair of performances featuring works by Mozart, Stravinsky, Liszt and Newport composer Ernest Bloch.

The opening concert program includes Mozart’s “Overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio,” Stravinsky’s “Suite No. 1 for Small Orchestra,” Bloch’s “Suite Modale” for flute and strings, Schuller’s “Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee” and concludes with Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.”

Accompanying the orchestra will be special guest flutist Erin Adair, an orchestral and freelance musician who has been performing throughout the Pacific Northwest for more than 25 years.

As well as being principal flutist with the Newport Symphony Orchestra, Adair plays with the Rose City

Erin Adair

Chamber Orchestra in Portland and the Linfield Chamber Orchestra in McMinnville. She has also performed with the Sinfonia Concertante and Portland Chamber Orchestra, and the Broadway Symphony in Seattle, as well as numerous chamber music groups.

During the 2004 and 2005 Summer Season, she performed and toured in Italy, Switzerland and France as the principal flutist with the Central New York Symphony and the Santa Monica Chamber Philharmonic.

The concerts, conducted

by Maestro Adam Flatt, will start at 7:30 pm on Saturday, Sept. 24, and 2 pm on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 West Olive Street.

Tickets, $25 and $39 plus ticket fees, are available at www.newportsymphony.org or by calling 541-265-2787. $10 tickets are available for students. Season tickets are also available.

A tourist-building excercise Registration is now open for the inaugural People’s Coast Summit from the Oregon Coast Visitors Association, which will be held in Garibaldi on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 18 and 19.

The event is aimed at offering both private and public tourism industry leaders across the Oregon Coast the chance to connect, debrief and de-stress after the busy tourism season.

“The travel and tourism industry is a critical economic component of Oregon’s coastal communities, and we are pleased to see gains in earnings, revenue and employment extending from Astoria all the way to BrookingsHarbor,” said Marcus Hinz, executive director of Oregon Coast Visitors Association. “Last year, nearly $1.9 billion in direct spending along the entire coast contributed to valuable increases in employment and tax revenue, ensuring the continued vitality of the region.”

Presenters and keynote speakers will cover social media, marketing best

practices and tourism trends as well as examining international tourism opportunities. Summit workshops are geared toward the needs of small- to medium-sized tourism businesses while keynote speakers aim to present bigpicture perspectives.

Among the scheduled speakers is Mac Burns, executive director of the Clatsop County Historical Society, which operates four museums in Astoria.

Widely known as the best example on the coast of how to successfully take advantage of a tourism economy while holding fast to history, culture and community character, Astoria continues to be a rising star and a significant player in Oregon’s tourism industry.

A pre-dinner excursion on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad in Garibaldi will be free with registration.

All meals and workshops are included with the $110 registration fee, reduced to $88 for OCVA members.

To register, email Hinz at Director@ ThePeoplesCoast.com.
