Much ado about movies Ever wondered what happens when you cross William Shakespeare with Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Who hasn’t? But put that speculation aside and see for yourself as the Bijou Theatre’s Fall Film Series gets under way in Newport. The series kicks off with “Much Ado About Nothing,” a modern-day version of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy directed by Joss Whedon, creator of everyone’s favorite stake-wielding cheerleader and, more recently, the driving force behind the “The Avengers.” This 2013 movie stars Nathan Fillion in a fast-paced PG-13 romp about a series of possibly comic, possibly tragic events that might or might not keep two couples from finding true love and happiness. The film will screen at 7 pm on Sunday, Sept. 29, and Monday, Sept. 30, at the Newport Performing Arts Center 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets are $7.50 for adults and $7 for seniors, students or Oregon Coast Council for the Arts members. The series will continue on Sunday, Oct. 13, and Monday, Oct. 14, with “Blackfish,” a 2013 documentary looking at the mistreatment of highly intelligent animals in captivity. Directed by Gabriella Cowperthwaite, this emotional, PG-13 tale centers on Tilikum, the performing killer whale that has killed three people in three separate incidents since 1991. On Sunday, Oct. 20, and Monday, Oct. 21, the series peers behind the showbiz curtain with “20 Feet From Stardom,” a 2013 documentary telling the story of the backup singers who bring harmony to the world’s biggest bands. Directed by Norman Melville and featuring commentary from stars including Bette Midler, Bruce Springsteen and Sting, this story promises to shine a light on these often-overlooked performers. “Austenland” will bring the series to a close on Sunday, Oct. 27, and Monday, Oct. 28. Directed by Jerusha Hess and starring Keri Russell, Jane Seymour and Brett McKenzie, this 2013 release tells the story of Jane, a 30-something single woman obsessed with “Pride and Prejudice,” who attends a Jane Austen themed fun fair to find her perfect Mr. Darcy. Light and funny, the film is rated PG-13, presumably for fleeting references to corsets. For more information on any of the screenings, call the performing arts center at 541-265-ARTS.

potpourri

School of rock(s) Geology — a bunch of old rocks, right? Dr. William Orr, professor emeritus of geology at University of Oregon, begs to differ and will use his Saturday, Sept. 28, presentation at the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences to prove it, presenting some of the newest findings in the field. Orr’s presentation, “What is new in Oregon Geology?” will detail the discovery of a new, extinct volcano in Prineville with a crater radius of 35 miles, making it by far the largest volcano in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, just 50 miles offshore from Newport, newly discovered deposits of frozen gas hydrates could be the world’s richest supply of methane. Orr and his wife, Elizabeth, have just released their 6th edition of Oregon Geology, published by Oregon State University Press. His presentation will take place at 6:30 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101. N. There is no admission charge, but a $5 donation is requested to cover publicity expenses. For more information, call 541-961-6695 or go to www.GoYachats.com.

Don’t miss the Swiss

An American classic will be on offer on Friday, Sept. 27, as the Yachats Ladies Club holds its annual Scholarship Fundraiser Dinner, with Swiss steak as the main course. A way of preparing steak tender enough to eat without a knife, Swiss steak starts of with round steak, which is pounded, floured, browned, and then smothered in carrots, tomatoes, and turnips. Cooked down during a long oven braise, the vegetables become a savory, satisfying gravy. This choice steak will be served alongside herb-roasted potatoes, crisp garden salad, homemade roll, beverage and a choice of homemade blueberry cobbler bars or rhubarb custard cake both made with locally harvested produce and

served with an optional dollop of fresh whipped cream, all for $12.50 Funds raised from the dinner will go toward the club’s scholarship fund, which has given between $1,500 and $2,000 each year to nursing students at Oregon Coast Community College for the past four years. The dinner will run from 5 to 7 pm at the Yachats Ladies Club, 286 W. Third Street at Pontiac Street and will include a silent auction and a chance to take part in the Scholarship Quilt Raffle. Organizers encourage people to come early, as only 85 dinners are available. To-go dinners are available. For information about becoming a club member, call Sandy Dunn at 541-547-3205.

Get your head Can you keep a in the clouds secret? The Yachats Academy of Arts and Science will offer people a look at some of the most dramatic scenery in the world with a slide show entitled “The Cloud Factory - Iceland” on Sunday, Sept. 29. The presentation by Greg and Nan Scott is a follow up to Greg’s recent sideshow of images from Botswana and features many images taken late at night in the light of the arctic summer. Among the images are shots of waterfalls, glaciers, icebergs, black sand beaches and incredible cloud formations. The presentation will start at 2 pm at the Yachats Commons, 441 Hwy. 101 N. There is no admission charge, but a $5 donation is requested to cover publicity expenses. For more information, call 541-9616695 or go to www.GoYachats.com.

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

Interpretative scenes from summer O

regon’s beaches offered me so many surprising moments this summer that I’ve struggled to shape them into a coherent philosophy that conveniently services my world view and editorial motives. Time and time again in August something unfolded at the beach and everything came down to a question: do I act or not? One day you can easily connect the dots of experience and know what to do and then another day the dots look like a Kandinsky painting and the plucking of one’s own heart string elicits nothing but the sound of one hand clapping. At some point, I stopped trying to connect the dots. Readers, I’ll let you.

Scene 1: Wedding Sonny the husky and I sat on the edge of Beaver Creek at Ona Beach and watched people assemble a wedding: chairs, flowers, a PA, food, drink. The nuptials appeared ready to begin except for one thing — no minister. He or she apparently hadn’t shown up. I couldn’t hear voices but the pacing, gesticulations and frantic phoning and text messaging made it all too clear. I’m a minister, yes Reverend Love, duly sanctioned by the state of Oregon to perform marriages. I received my credential 20 years ago from a “church” advertising in Rolling Stone magazine and have performed one marriage. The couple remains together. A 100-percent success rate! Top that, other ministers. All I had to do was wade across the creek and offer my services. I could have winged the ceremony with ease and sprinkled in some sexy ocean lines from Led Zeppelin. The couple could have said “yes” and rolled the dice with an eccentric or said “no” and succumbed to rational fear. I didn’t give them a chance. Sonny and I watched the mounting panic and floated away to nap in a fort.

eye? I looked up and saw people staring down to the water. A salmon run? An otter? A seal? A kayak race? Should I investigate? Do I really want to know what’s going on? Didn’t W. H. Auden say something on the virtues of paying attention to someone besides yourself? I’d rather be dead than incurious. I got up, brushed off the sand, and walked over to the creek. I saw two men and a boy in the water. Everyone on the bridge was watching them. What? Tourists! It came to me — a baptism — straight out of the Gospels. I reflected: perhaps if I had been baptized this way in rainwater at the ocean’s edge it might have turned out differently. My generic baptism at the age of 10 was memorable only in that I wore a strange plastic outfit and felt lukewarm tap water drowning my intuition and inquisitiveness forever. I never let it.

Scene 3: Abduction I daydreamed near a willow on Ona Beach. Sonny was drinking from Beaver Creek. I turned left and beheld an Oregon state trooper 30 feet away. I was shocked and let out a good-natured profanity. He was talking on his phone and didn’t interrupt his conversation. A minute later, he took out a notepad and asked me some personal questions. I told him I was a local and arrived here 15 minutes ago for my daily beach nap and spiritual reconnaissance. We bandied for a few minutes and then I asked him what was going on. “Someone tried to abduct a child at the park. The perpetrator was wearing a red shirt. He’s still at large.” I had on red long-sleeve shirt that drugstore cowboys wear. The kid was all right and my alibi proved rock solid. The state trooper said goodbye and left to continue the manhunt. Sonny and I walked back to the truck and encountered a mom and two small children in an SUV with Washington plates. They were about ready to go out to the beach once she got off the phone. I considered knocking on the window and warning her. I didn’t.

Scene 2: Baptism

Scene 4: Distress

Sonny and I reclined near an ancient root wad on Ona Beach. I drifted into a snooze but then a din emanating from the bridge that spans Beaver Creek startled me awake. What now? Can’t a misanthrope get some shut

Seven o’clock in the evening. The sun shined. A man trudged a few feet past Sonny and me and I could detect severe distress chiseled in his face. I put him at 35 years old. As he went by, I said “hello” and he replied with an

anemic courtesy. He pivoted, walked to the ocean, stopped and stared west. He collapsed to the sand in a heap and curled into a ball. He sat erect and pounded the ground with his right fist, left fist, then both fists at the same time. I whipped out the camera and snapped a few shots. Was this man in the throes of contemplating suicide? One kind word from a stranger might instantly dissipate that idea. He might just want someone to give a damn. I was about ready to intercede when he turned abruptly away from the ocean and headed east. He found a log and plopped down. Ten minutes later, he walked by me and Sonny. He looked even worse and neither of us said a thing. His trip was his trip. Sonny and I exited the beach and I loaded her into the truck. Seconds into the drive home, I came across the man lumbering to his car. I pulled up and powered down the window. Today, I would give a damn. “Are you okay? I don’t mean to pry but you looked pretty upset.” ‘It was nothing. Just a real estate deal gone bad.”

Scene 5: Sculpture On my local beach at five in the afternoon, an associate and I encountered a driftwood sculpture well below the wrack line. It wasn’t going to last another high tide. Rumor had it that some visiting Canadians made it, most likely financed by a socialist grant. This piece of evanescent art beguiled and goaded me in mysterious Walt Whitmanesque ways. It called me out. It demanded action. It wanted me. This was no art gallery full of dilettantes sipping wine. I was ensconced inside a universe of primal magic that insisted I play. I stripped off all my clothes, ran through the sculpture, raced to the waves, and dived in. My associate thought me insane, a mad druid craving salt and foam; she refused to join me. I pitied her. One naked ocean dive in broad daylight can revolutionize a person’s life. But you have to act. So readers, are there any connections between these moments? I welcome your interpretations. Matt Love lives in South Beach with his husky, Sonny. His latest book, “Of Walking in Rain,” is available at nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores. He can be reached at lovematt100@yahoo.com.

Batter up! Dip into Oregon history with a Pronto Pup in Otis

From dog to Pup

By Patrick Alexander

Julie Shoemaker guides the once humble sausage to a better life as a delicious Pronto Pup at the historic Otis eatery.

Oregon Coast TODAY

I

t would be easy to underestimate the Pronto Pup. At first glance, few might suspect that the brown, torpedo-shaped sausage snack on a stick has a rich history going back more than 70 years — starting right here on the Oregon Coast. Likewise, it would be easy to underestimate the Salmon River Pronto Pup restaurant, tucked alongside Highway 18 next to a gas station in Otis, just outside Lincoln City. But the restaurant has a history that goes back almost as long as its namesake product, having first served up freshly fried pups back in 1946 and now boasting a full menu, including burgers, sandwiches, seafood dishes and a full slate of rich, creamy milkshakes.

TODAY photos

A pup is born

The Pronto Pup has its origins just a few miles north along the coast, in the town of Rockaway Beach. It was here, on a Labor Day weekend in either 1938 or 1939 that George and Versa Boyington set up a hot dog stand, hoping to make a decent profit from the holiday crowd. But poor weather set them on another, altogether more lucrative path as a downpour drenched their hot dog stand, turning their buns to mush and sending sales plummeting. Later, contemplating how his sausages had come undone for lack of a bun, George had a brainwave — why not devise a bun that is cooked straight on to the sausage just before the sale? After tinkering with several recipes, George hit upon the perfect mixture of flours to create a just-add-water batter that soon proved a hit at fairs and expositions around the state. Not one to miss an opportunity, George developed a logo and began to market the Pronto Pup across the U.S., selling franchise rights to independent operators throughout the country. Each franchisee would have the right to sell Pronto Pups in their area — provided they bought the secret-recipe batter mix from him.

Pups hit Otis

The Salmon River Pronto Pup was established in 1946 as one of the first places where people could buy pups year round rather than having to wait for a temporary stand to pop up at the county fair. It started as no more than a small kitchen with a window facing the parking lot. The cooks would hand the freshly fried pups through the window to motorists on their way to the beach or heading home after a vacation. At some point, it expanded to fill the grocery store property next door.

Current owners Wanda Gendreau and Dan Tompkins have run the restaurant for six years, bringing it back to life after several failed attempts by others to make a go of it. Having built up a solid local following thanks to regular hours and an expanded menu, the place really comes alive on weekends and holidays, when streams of vacationers and day trippers pull over at the distinctive yellow sign – enchanted by the prospect of a trip down memory lane.

A pup for every occasion The Salmon River Pronto Pup experience begins with a sausage, and the owners emphasize the importance of using prime meat. As well as the original beef, the restaurant offers Polish kielbasa, German bratwurst and, for customers who like it spicy, a jalapeño cheddar pup. Smaller pups area available for kids and there is even a soy Pronto Pup so that vegetarians don’t have to miss out. Once the sausage is selected, customers can watch as it is dipped into the secret batter mix and plunged into the bubbling vegetable oil for the roughly four minutes it takes to reach perfection. What makes the perfect pup? Perhaps that question is best answered by David Sulmonetti, current president of Pronto Pup Co. Inc. and guardian of the secret blend of flours that gives each pup its distinctive coating. “When you pull a freshly made Pronto Pup out of the vegetable oil, the outer crust is crisp and crunchy,” he said. “Just inside the golden brown coating it’s like a doughnut or cake. But it’s not too sweet — that’s the genius of George Boyington’s

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • september 27, 2013

invention. That’s the secret of why a Pronto Pup is a Pronto Pup. We’ve never changed the formula, because people like it just the way it is.”

Beyond the pup But people can’t live on Pronto Pups alone. That’s why the restaurant offers all kinds of other dishes — starting with a full range of hot dogs for those who prefer their sausages the old-fashioned way. Add to that grilled sandwiches, seafood baskets and burger choices running from the simple hamburger or cheeseburger all the way to a Jalapeño Pepper Jack Burger and it becomes clear why some visitors choose to stop both on their way to the coast and on their way back home. Veggi burgers, shrimp, coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad and soups round out the main menu, but don’t forget the fries. The restaurant serves five different varieties, from curly to sweet potato to beer-battered — and that’s without mentioning the tater tots. How do you top off a meal like that? Behind the counter, Julie Shoemaker has a suggestion — a milkshake made from Tillamook ice cream. “They are some of the best milkshakes ever,” she said. “We don’t add milk to them. They are made straight from the ice cream and they are wonderful.” Salmon River Pronto Pup is located at 1252 Salmon River Hwy. (Highway 18), next to the Salmon River Market. It is open from 11 am to 6 pm, seven days a week.

Starting off easy with the cobra pose

Stretch yourself… By Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

B

alancing barefoot on a wobbling board in the middle of the Nestucca River with my butt in the air and my head a few inches from the water, I glance between my legs just in time to see a mother and baby deer swimming across the river behind me. Gingerly shifting my weight, I stand upright to admire the scene before returning to my best imitation of downward dog. At the other side of the river, a blue heron stands watching the scene with an effortless elegance that I notably fail to match as I move from one pose to the next. This is paddleboard yoga and I am as new to it as it is to Oregon. Only a handful of instructors in the state and just one on the coast teach the activity, which combines yoga with standup paddleboarding for a surprisingly calming experience. My instructor is Jodie Dodge of Nestucca Adventures, who has been practicing yoga for nine years and began offering classes on paddleboard last May after finding that the water setting made holding a pose even more rewarding. “When you are on the water, you really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” she said, “and every little movement counts.” A lifelong fan of water sports, Dodge’s introduction to standup paddleboarding came when her business partner at Nestucca Adventures, Dennis McKay, bought a board. “I was just out there playing around,” she

Dodge in a more challenging pose

said, “and one night after I got a little gumption I did some poses.” A few poses led to a few more and, before long, Dodge was practicing each morning and decided that she wanted to share the experience with others. Only when went to buy more paddleboards online did she discover that the sport had already taken California by storm. “I thought I invented this,” she said. “But of course I didn’t.” Nevertheless, seeing an opportunity to bring a new activity to the coast, Dodge and McKay invested in six specially designed yoga paddleboards and added a range of water yoga options to their list of water sports options. The class I sign up for, Introduction to Wa-

ter Yoga, covers the basics — learning how to move around on the board, followed by some slow-paced poses. As a rank amateur in both yoga and paddleboarding, I have a fairly modest goal for my first time out: don’t fall in the water — or at least hope that someone else falls in the water first. After a brief orientation on dry land, my two fellow students and I tether our boards to a buoy line just off the Nestucca Adventures dock to keep us in place against the outgoing tide. We start off easy, standing up and wobbling from one side to the other; tying to get a feel for how far we can push the boards before they capsize.

Next, a few basic moves; start with plank, move into downward dog, stand, raise arms to the sky, dip forward touching the board, repeat. We go through a few more poses and, after about 20 minutes, I start to imagine that I might actually make it through the class without falling in. It’s not long before that overconfidence comes back to bite me. I don’t know the proper name of the pose that was almost my undoing but have christened it ‘the pretzel.’ Sitting on top my left heel with the right leg stretched out behind me, I bend my right leg up and reached back to grab it with my right hand. So far so good. But when I try and complete the pose by stretching my left arm out in front of me, I start to tip, swamping the board. Somehow, I claw my way back from the brink and escape with no more than a wet sleeve and soggy knees. I’ve found my limit. Throughout the class, Dodge gives various options for how far to take a pose, allowing students to either push themselves or stick at a level where they are comfortable — and dry. She said most people don’t fall in unless they are pushing themselves to their limits and even then most of the dunks seem to happen on sunny days when it only takes a few minutes to dry off. With our class taking place on a beautiful but cool mid-September morning, I resolve that discretion is the better part of valor. For the rest of the class I take it easy, enjoying the no-frills version of each pose — feeling chalStory continued on next page

lenged but still relaxed enough to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Nestucca River, now at slack tide and buzzing with life. Dodge said being on the river makes it less likely that students will be distracted by humdrum thoughts like groceries, bills or whether they need a pedicure. “It’s just so much more of what yoga is about,â€? she said, adding: “And you deďŹ nitely have to learn how to go with the ow because at any minute things could change.â€? After the ďŹ nal pose, we stretch o and head downriver for a paddle, crossing paths with boats of salmon ďŹ shermen searching for the ďŹ rst of the fall Chinook. We tether our boards together for Shavasana or “corpse pose,â€? lying face up with our eyes closed, letting our bodies shed their fatigue and stress and ďŹ ll with energy for the day ahead. As we lay there in blissful peace, a group of ďŹ shermen land a salmon at the other side of the river. In order not to disturb the curious quartet of oating yogis, they celebrate quiet as mice.

In their ďŹ rst year, the classes have attracted everyone from beginners to yoga instructors, with a range of options on oer, including yoga geared for people with back problems and pilates classes carried out on untethered boards that move with the current. Dodge is working on plans to oer paddleboard yoga indoors throughout the winter at local pools but said she plans to be teaching outdoors on the Nestucca until late October.

Snapshots from across the nation will fill the Bay City Arts Center starting Saturday, Sept. 28, for an exhibit looking at the everyday ways in which people from all walks of life contribute to the economic health of their communities. Entitled “Economic Development in Everyday Life” the show consists of images created using Instagram, a social media platform that allows people to post photos online and apply various filters to make them look over-saturated, sepia-toned, grainy, or exceptionally sharp. The show’s participants include a Brooklyn architect; the owner of Portland business Bee Local; and the Tillamook manager of Foodroots Micro-enterprise Development program. The show was curated by Bay City Art Center Board Member, Terra Wilcoxson, to include a diverse selection of content and photographic style.

Fish sticks on the menu

Art with the “essence of fishiness” is on display at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery in a two-week spotlight show featuring work by Mark Cheney. A longtime writer, Cheney took up art after moving to the Oregon Coast, starting by creating birdhouses out of driftwood found on the beach. He has been producing marine-inspired sculptures ever since finding a few pieces of wood that fit together in a fish shape. As he continued beach-combing, Cheney’s “Fish Sticks” creations became larger, running from five inches up to five feet long. As well as driftwood, he often uses jewelry wire with shells, agates and selected beads as eyes, and occasionally shells for fins. Cheney also creates the occasional driftwood bird or small horse and experiments with public art on Newport’s beaches. He hopes to one day complete a life-size driftwood horse.

“FishSticks” by Mark Cheney

Also on show will be a series of watercolors from Christine Collins, who grew up enjoying art from her early childhood. Born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, she enjoyed taking classes in stained glass in high school and watercolor classes in junior college in California. Collins moved to the Oregon Coast in 2000 and got a chance to renew her love of art by taking watercolor classes

through the Yaquina Art Association last year. Her works focus on the ocean, rivers and mountains that have inspired her since her move to the coast. The show began on Sept. 20 and will run through Friday, Oct. 4, available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily at the gallery, located at 789 NW Beach Drive at the Nye Beach Turnaround.

Making a state-ment

Newport’s CafĂŠ Mundo will be the venue for a reading by poet and publisher Michael Czarnecki, whose Poems Across America tour has him traveling the country with the aim of giving one reading in each of the lower 48 states. The free Sunday, Sept. 29, reading will be Czarnecki’s 19th stop on the tour, which began in August in Maine and will end in New York on Nov. 17, the day he turns 63. “This is a tour I have dreamt about for a number of years and have ďŹ nally turned into reality,â€? he said. Czarnecki has been making his living solely through the creative word for nearly two decades. In 1986, he founded FootHills Publishing, which has gone on to release more than 400 chapbooks and books of poetry by

writers throughout America and beyond. His work is published in a dozen chapbooks and books, including his “Twenty Days on Route 20.â€? Although Czarnecki has given hundreds of featured readings throughout America and has taken many cross-country poetic journeys, none has been as extensive as his current tour. When not on the poetic road, Michael lives with his wife and sons on their 50-acre Wheeler Hill homestead in upstate New York. For more information on the Poems Across America tour, go to www.foothillspublishing.com/48states Czarnecki’s reading will take place from 3 to 5 pm at CafĂŠ Mundo, 209 NW Coast Street in Newport’s Nye Beach area.

get out! Checking the spook route

As the robins head south on the Oregon Coast so too does the weather, meaning now is the time to join the Yachats Coastal Gems for a stroll in the sun. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the group will be testing the route used for its Halloween event at the end of the month. Walkers should meet at 9 am at the Lions Club, 344 W. 4th Street, Yachats, This is a 10K walk that includes some hills and rough surfaces and is not appropriate for wheelchairs or strollers. There is a 5K option for those who want a shorter walk. Pets are welcome

On Wednesday, Oct. 2, the group will hold its monthly club meeting at the Yuzen Restaurant in Seal Rock, starting with a leg stretcher walk at 4 pm, dinner at 5 pm and the meeting at 6 pm. The group’s biennial Halloween walk is set for Saturday, Oct. 26, and will include a spooky fun-house. Start times are from 8 am to 1 pm, with walkers to be off the course by 4 pm. Registration and start point are at the Lions Club in Yachats. For more information or directions, call Gene and Linda Williamson in Seal Rock at 541-563-6721, Maryann Brown in Waldport at 541-961-4279, or go to www.yachatscoastalgems.org.

No charge for this light parade Why did 19th century Willamette Valley farmers need coastal lighthouses? Which marine mammals and birds visit Oregon and which make the state’s rocky shores their home? The answers to these questions and more will be on offer at a celebration of National Public Lands Day at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Bureau of Land Management is waiving entrance fees to the site, located at the north end of Newport, in celebration of the day. Attractions will include exploration stations set up throughout the park, as well as treasure hunts or “Quests” designed to challenge the gray matter. Information about all the special events on offer will be available at the Interpretive Center, which will be handing out activity passports to guests. Prizes will be given to all participants completing at least three stations or activities. Prizes will also be on offer for people who lend a hand to staff controlling invasive plants in two work parties scheduled to run from 11 am to noon and from 2 to 3 pm. At 3:30 pm a reception will be held to announce the winers of the 12th annual photography competition.

Make sure the coast is clear

Try this one for thighs

Cyclists looking for a route to set their thighs a-quaking need look no further than the hills between Waldport and Yachats — the site of the inaugural Oregon Coast Gravel Epic, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 5. Steve Cash, owner of event organizer dark30 sports, said he rode the 73-mile route three times throughout the winter, an experience that led he and fellow riders to name it “Abomination.” “It’s remote, it’s hilly and it’s an ass-kicker,” he said. “When you finish, there’s no announcers, no cheerleaders, no medal, no age group awards. There’s food, a sense of relief and I will be at the finish to shake your hand for a job well done.” Only two prizes will be on offer at the event, for the first overall finisher in the male and female categories. “If you are the first male or female, the award you get is pretty dang cool,” Cash said. “This first year it will be a surprise. You can put it on the mantle for the year, but come next fall it will be on the line

because, like in boxing, the championship prize is not yours – it is yours to defend.” Recreational riders who want a challenge but don’t feel up to the Abomination route can find it on Son of Abomination, offering great scenery, but a shorter, 37-mile route and half the climbing — a mere 5,000 feet’s worth. The race will start and finish in downtown Waldport, where festivities will include a beer garden, live music, a free post-ride meal for participants, and a post-ride raffle of prizes from sponsors. The event is presented by Oregon Coast Bank and organized in cooperation with the cities of Waldport and Yachats, the Port of Alsea, and with support from Travel Oregon and a host of local sponsors. Registration costs $45 for individuals or $65 for tandem teams until Oct. 3, increasing to $55 or $85 thereafter. For more details and to register, go to www.oregoncoastgravelepic. com.

Every homeowner knows that it’s a good idea to clean your gutters at the end of summer before the fall rains arrive. For much the same reason, the SOLVE environmental group has chosen Saturday, Sept. 28, for its Beach and Riverside Cleanup — inviting thousands of Oregonians to once again scour beaches, rivers and parks before the deluge washes debris into storm drains and out to sea. “Every corner of every street is connected to a river, to a watershed and to our ocean,” said Kaleen Boyle, SOLVE outreach coordinator. “Each time you stop to help, be it by picking up a bottle cap or planting a tree, you impact that connection — you make it a better one. This event gives all Oregonians a chance to take part in protecting the areas we hold dear.” Presented by the Oregon Lottery, the event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup and includes more than 100 volunteer-led cleanup and watershed restoration projects throughout the state. Last year, more than 4,400 volunteers joined together to clear 64,400 pounds of debris and plant 5,596 native plants. Volunteers typically clean up cigarette filters and Styrofoam as well as plastic caps, lids, bottles and bags, all of which can break down into tiny pieces that can be harmful to fish, birds and marine mammals. Saturday’s cleanup runs from 10 am to 1 pm at multiple sites along the Oregon Coast. Volunteers who pre-register for a site will be automatically entered into a drawing to win two tickets to the soldout Jack Johnson concert on Oct. 16 in Portland. To volunteer or make a donation, register online at www.solvoregon.org or call 503-844-9571 or 1-800-333-SOLV.

Lace up for this work party

The Nature Conservancy will be holding a volunteer work party on Saturday, Sept. 28, to remove invasive Queen Anne’s lace from the Cascade Head Preserve north of Lincoln City. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the preserve provides critical habitat for native prairie grasses, rare wildflowers, the threatened Oregon Silverspot butterfly and the Cascade Head catchfly. The work party includes a four- to five-mile round-trip hike with elevation gain and might

require volunteers to hike off trail and stand on uneven ground while working. Volunteers should bring hiking shoes, a day pack, lunch and snacks, a full water bottle, layers of clothing to be prepared for any weather — including rain gear and a hat and sunscreen — as well as gloves if available. To register for the work party, call 503-8028100, email orvolunteers@tnc.org or contact Debbie Pickering at 541-994-5564.

Starting on a

high note Newport Symphony Orchestra’s season opens with tribute to Ernest Bloch

The Newport Symphony Orchestra will begin its silver anniversary year of concerts with a pair of performances from renowned guest cellist Allison Eldredge on Saturday, Sept. 28, and Sunday, Sept. 29. After the scheduled cello soloist Wendy Warner took ill, Eldredge stepped in at the last minute to serve as the centerpiece of the orchestra’s tribute to Swiss-American composer Ernest Bloch. Born in Geneva in 1880, Bloch immigrated to Oregon at the start of World War II, where he spent the final 18 years of his life composing music at his home in Agate Beach. Bloch’s masterpiece “Schelomo,” named after the biblical Solomon, will be at the heart of the concerts. Originally conceived as a piece for voice and orchestra, Bloch redrafted the work to include cello solos, which he said are intended to represent the voice of King Solomon while the orchestra represents the world around him. The performances will begin with the “Danse Bacchanale” by Camille Saint-Saëns, whose biblical theme complements Bloch’s piece, and conclude with “Pieces at an Exhibition,” composed by Modest Musorgsky and scored for full orchestra

Free tickets Classical music fans can get their hands on free tickets to Newport Symphony Orchestra performances simply by booking a hotel stay in Newport, thanks to a grant from the Destination Newport marketing group. Guests checking in at any Newport hotel or motel can receive a free ticket for either a Saturday night or a Sunday matinée performance for the symphony’s 25th season, which starts on Sept. 28 and runs through March 30. For more information and online ticketing, go to www.newportsymphony.org or call the symphony office at 541-574-0614.

by Maurice Ravel. The Saturday, Sept. 28 concert will begin at 7:30 pm, while the Sunday, Sept. 29 performance is a matinée, beginning at 2 pm. All performances take place at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets are priced at $34 and $20, or $10 for students, and can be purchased at the performing arts center box office, by phone at 541-265-ARTS, or online at NewportSymphony.org. Supported by the Nye Beach Merchants Association and various foundations, businesses and individual donors, the Newport Symphony Orchestra is the only full-season professional orchestra on the Oregon Coast. The orchestra will continue its 25th anniversary season with Nov. 2 and 3 performances featuring a program of “Tragedy and Triumph” including Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. On Dec. 7 and 8, Erica Brookhyser, mezzo-soprano born and raised in Newport, returns from Europe to perform in her home town. The Jan. 25 and 26 is a program filled with the “Exotic, Sacred, and Profane,” and the season concludes March 29 and 30 with a program of “Strauss and Strauss.”

Allison Eldredge Heralded as “a musician of remarkable gifts” by the Chicago Tribune, and “an impassioned and focused soloist by the New York Times, Eldredge has performed as soloist with many of the world’s great orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Saint Louis Symphony, and the Boston Pops. She has been the featured soloist in numerous orchestral tours including a North American and European tour with the Warsaw Sinfonia under Krzysztof Penderecki; a tour of England with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, including a concert in London at Queen Elizabeth Hall; and four tours of Israel with the Haifa Symphony.

Sounds like a case of the Mondays Start the week off right with Tillamook’s concert series

The start of football season has, for many Americans, bought a sense of purpose back to Sunday afternoons. But, while gridiron provides plenty of big hits, even its biggest fans would have to concede that its harmonies leave a little to be desired. Fortunately, the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook has also returned for its 2013-2014 concert season, with a line up that promises to enliven Sunday afternoons with everything from jigs and reels to honky-tonk and big band. The club’s 19th season kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 29, with Everything Fitz, a band made up of all six members of the Fitzgerald family from Ontario. Champion fiddlers Julie, 24; Kerry, 23; and

Tom, 20; provide intricate harmonies with support from their 25-year-old brother Pat on percussion. Parents Pam and Paddy provide accompaniment on piano and bass guitar. The show includes high-energy fiddling and step dancing styles ranging from bluegrass to jazz and swing to Celtic and gospel. The season continues on Sunday, Oct. 27, with The Highwaymen, billed as the ultimate tribute to country music greats Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings and their country supergroup endeavor with Kris Kristofferson. Their 90-minute show aims to transport audiences back to the late-’80s when the original group toured the country, throwing out upbeat, honky-tonk hits such as “Ring of Fire,” “Dukes of Hazzard,’ and “On the Road

Again.” On Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, The Tokens will come to town. The Brooklyn group found fame in 1961 with the smash hit “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and went on to record hits including “Tonight I Fell in Love” and “Portrait of My Love.” Rounding out the concert season Sunday, March 30, 2014, is a return engagement by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, a longtime favorite of Tillamook audiences. The band has been a favorite throughout the world since the 1940s with a string of classic hits including “In The Mood,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “String of Pearls,” and “Moonlight Serenade.” All performances will take place at 2 pm in the Don Whitney Auditorium at Tillamook High School, 2605 12th Street in Tillamook. Advance tickets for individual concerts are

26 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • september 27, 2013

$25 each for adults and $20 for students. Tickets at the door are priced at $30 for adults and $25 for students. But, just like at the NFL, things get cheaper with a season ticket — priced at $80 for adults and $55 for students and guaranteeing reserved, center section seating at all four concerts. To order season or advance tickets, send a check payable to the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook to 6415 Westwood Court, Tillamook, OR, 97141. Tickets may also be purchased at the offices of TLC Federal Credit Union and the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce or by calling 503-842-2078. No advance tickets will be sold the day of an event. Funds raised from the concerts are used to sponsor master classes for Tillamook music students and fund a scholarship for the winner of the club’s annual talent competition.
