What happens in

Newport… Get hooked on fishing with the town’s Wild Seafood Weekend Story & photos by Eileen Flory For the TODAY

If you look down from the Yaquina Bay Bridge you’ll see a group of hardy people motoring out between the jetties nearly every day in search of wild seafood. They’re true hunters and gatherers, but they don’t live in the distant past or in an exotic location. They work right here, right now, as commercial fishermen.

Mark the date to celebrate

On Saturday, Sept. 7 we can all share the bounty at the fourth annual Newport Wild Seafood Weekend, organized by the Newport Fishermen’s Wives as a way to celebrate the Northwest’s vital wild-caught seafood industry and those who go to sea to harvest fish and shellfish. “The weekend will feature Newport’s fishermen and their families — people who don’t often toot their own horns,” said Sarah Scamser, president of the Newport Fisherman’s Wives. “We’ll have nothing but local, fresh seafood brought in to port by our own fishermen. It’s an opportunity for our association to feature the industry and raise money for fishing families in need.” Proceeds will directly benefit the Fishing Families Relief Fund of the Newport Fishermen’s Wives.

A seafood lover’s delight

This feast for the mind and body runs from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, with something for everyone who likes seafood. It all takes place on Newport’s bay front at Port Dock 5 and the adjacent boardwalk, across from Local Ocean Seafood restaurant. Locals and visitors alike can simply come down to the dock and join in the fun — no tickets necessary. The Fishermen’s Wives have outdone themselves planning a full day for visitors: • Oregon Sea Grant will offer “dock walks” throughout the day to show off Newport’s

fishing vessels. • A lineup of booths by Sea Grant, the Coast Guard, NOAA and others will offer free books, posters, information sheets and tips on cooking with seafood. • A “gear shed” will sell Fishermen’s Wives goods and, with the help of event sponsor Seafood Oregon, fresh crab and shrimp cocktails. • Following a printed guide, visitors will be able to purchase fresh seafood directly from the docks as well as from the boardwalk. • Marine Discovery Tours will offer bay cruises. • A special passport will afford its holders exclusive opportunities.

Newport rules The Port of Newport predominates on the Oregon coast. It’s first in number of vessels homeported (248), first in people employed in the industry, and second in landings, or pounds taken in. The port ranks fifth among West Coast fishing ports in landings, at 57 million pounds in 2010. Although most of Newport’s fleet sticks fairly close to home, 12 vessels make up the distant water fleet. They are 80- to 125-footlong vessels that go to Alaska to fish and return to Newport for maintenance and repair — and perhaps to do some crabbing and whiting fishing. Like every port, Newport is host to the eternal choreography among markets, regulators and fishermen who just want to make a living. Ensuring future harvests means having to contend with quotas, bycatch (the accidental harvest of unwanted species, a regulated and costly phenomenon), licensing, restrictions on harvest, and issues of marine reserves and wave energy. A feather in Newport’s environmental cap is the work of Foulweather Trawl, owned by Sarah Scamser, the Fisherman’s Wives pres-

ident. Her business’s bread and butter is net making and repair, but it is also on the cutting edge in creating excluder devices intended to minimize bycatch. Dozens of Newport fishermen, along with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, cooperate with Scamser in testing these ingenious additions, which, when successful, benefit both the fishermen and the environment.

Impress your friends The big winners in Newport’s landings last year were Pacific whiting (hake), at nearly 56 million pounds, and pink shrimp, at 14.7 million pounds. Much of our Pacific whiting catch goes to

make surimi, or imitation crab meat. Oregon’s Dugeness crab fishery, though not nearly as heavy in pounds as whiting and shrimp, is consistently the most lucrative. Newport’s shrimp fishery is relatively easy on the environment because its nets don’t scrape the ocean bottom. The tuna landed in Newport are low in heavy metals, largely because the fish are relatively young and haven’t had as many years near the top of the food chain to accumulate those elements. Last year Newport had measurable harvests of jellyfish (29 pounds), red sea urchins (16 pounds), sea anemones (6 pounds), sea stars (5 pounds) and one pound of sea cucumbers.

Coming out to party? Gay or straight young or old, get ready to show some Oregon Coast Pride For anyone who thinks life at the Oregon Coast is nothing but a drag after Labor Day, we have just three words — Oregon Coast Pride. Because this gay pride event is way more than just a drag show, with organizers gearing up for a party that has something for everyone — from kids’ activities during the day to risqué stand up comedy at night. “Our goal was to make LGBT events even more family friendly and open up to straight families as well,” said Oregon Coast Pride Vice President David Pick. Now in its second year, Oregon Coast Pride will be held at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 6 to 8. The event is the successor to the Iris Pride festival, the Oregon Coast’s first gay pride event, which was held at several venues throughout Lincoln City but centered on Taft’s SW 51st Street. Oregon Coast Pride President Franci Miller said having the event take place at the casino means people don’t have to race all over town to take it all in. “Last year’s event was amazing,” she said, “with everything being inside, all in one area.” This year sees the return of a dedicated drag show, set for 10 pm on Friday. Drag queen and king shows will also be presented Saturday throughout the day, with Jennifer Lanier and local favorite Raina Bowe, among the familiar faces scheduled to be in attendance. For youngsters, Giggles the Clown, one of Portland’s best kids’ entertainers, will be heading up the Kids’ Funzone, running from 10 am to 10 pm on Saturday. This pocketbook-friendly family area will feature bounce houses, free balloon sculptures, a challenge course

and more. Also returning this year — and bigger than ever — is the street fair, which will run all three days. Vendors include local stores such as Glass Confusion and Calise Soapworks & Such as well as rainbow sticker specialists The Rainbow Effect; and Damsel in Defense, purveyors of everything from hot pink stun guns to purse-sized pepper spray. For the adults, there will be standup comedy from Oregon Coast Pride favorites including Mimi Gonzales and Belinda Carroll. For a full schedule of entertainment, go to www.oregoncoastpride.com. And on Saturday the party really gets started at 8 pm with the return of the Inferno Dance Party with DJ Wildfire. This event is for ages 21 and over with a $15 entrance fee.

There will also be food carts and, for those over 21, an alcohol garden. Those lucky over-21s will also receive a free five-dollar slot play for each day of the event Last but by no stretch of the imagination least, the event will see the return of the incomparable Cosmic Flaming Bingo from 10 am to 2 pm on Sunday. This is not your grandma’s bingo. Packed with music and lights, there will be big prizes like hotel and golf packages, restaurant certificates and much, much more. And don’t miss the morning’s “Bloody Mary Bar.” The initial bingo package is $10, with additional bingo game packs $5 apiece. There is a $5 suggested donation for entrance to the festival but organizers pledge that no one will be turned away.

Try your pluck with the orchestra this fall Adults and children are invited learn how to play a stringed instrument from Kathy Follett, assistant concertmaster of the Newport Symphony Orchestra, who will begin a class in Lincoln City on Sept. 14. Follett’s classes, at the St. James-Santiago Episcopal Church, have been open to children for the past two years but this year, she decided to extend the opportunity to adults as well. “I hope people of all ages will come and learn to play the violin, viola, cello, or stringed bass,” she said. “We offer our instruction in a friendly and supportive environment.” Follett will be assisted by veteran cellist and fellow Newport Symphony member Stevie McDougal. The classes are open to anyone aged eight

and above. Participants do not have to have their own instruments but should bring them if they have them. For those who do not have an instrument, Follett has acquired a number of violins, violas and cellos that students can use for the year. Throughout the fall, students will be preparing for the annual Strings Concert held each December. Cost for the class for children is $20 per month or $70 for a semester and $40 a month or $130 per semester for adults. Registration will take place at the church from 10 to 11:30 am on Saturday, Sept. 7 for continuing students and from 11 am to 12:30 pm for new students. For more information, contact Follett at 503-201-3406.

The greatest curriculum W

hen a window to a new creative opportunity opens up, I don’t step through it, I dive headlong, not really worrying about the cushion of the landing. Could be water. Could be concrete. Could be an abyss. Could be an embrace. The point is, dive. Such a window recently opened up for me, and made it impossible for me to teach in a conventional classroom setting at Newport High School where I have taught the past five years. So it was time to say goodbye to the best teaching job I’ve ever had, move on, advance, seek out new adventures and stories. I am hardly burned out of teaching and plan on returning one day. A refreshing plunge into new ideas and vistas always re-energizes me and makes me a better teacher. As I recall my tenure at Newport High, what stands out to me was my conscious and subconscious practice of conceiving a curriculum that

relentlessly integrated the ocean and Oregon’s publicly-owned beaches into my teaching: English, journalism, creative writing, photography, rock and roll. The subjects never mattered. I always found a way to forge a connection, whether it was atavistic or aesthetic. It wasn’t really all that difficult since the ocean is the greatest life force on the planet and connected to everything from evolution to art. Students of all ages instantly grasp this elementary concept when you put them into kinetic situations where they have to confront the ocean with all their senses and then reflect upon the experience. To do that, you have to elicit and solicit this outdoor confrontation and then ask the students to reflect. And you don’t test them later because there is nothing to test. As for the outcomes of these confrontations, I attest that the writing, poetry, journalism and photography produced by my students in connection to their interactions with the beaches/ocean are always the best, most original, most passionate, most probing, most hardcore Oregonian assignments they complete for me. I doubted they even considered them assignments. The other day I calculated how many field trips I organized at Newport High School to enable this confrontation: almost 20. Several were spontaneous: we just walked out of

my classroom and down to Nye Beach or Yaquina Bay. Millions of words, thousands of photographs, hundreds of poems, forts, cairns, limpets, sandcastles, bonfires, interviews with kooky strangers, races, guitars, band names, and, I almost forgot, one cell phone destroyed. I cherish all the trips but the one that rocketed my teaching to a new level was the November 2010 day I took my newspaper staff to Oswald West State Park near Manzanita to lay hands on the holy plaque of the Matt Kramer Memorial, named for the heroic journalist whose reporting helped secure the passage of the 1967 Beach Bill that protected the dry sands area of our beaches from privatization and prudery. (See the accompanying photographs.) It rained something 4.75 inches that day — one of the rainiest days

in recent Oregon Coast history and we never once used an umbrella, complained, stopped dancing, and eventually ended up the soggiest but happiest high school newspaper staff in the history of high school journalism. I doubt none of us will ever forget celebrating Oregon’s “great birthright,” as Oswald West described the state’s ocean beaches. I never paid a cent to use any of these beaches as my greatest curriculum of my teaching career. The students will never forget that either. Matt Love lives in South Beach with his husky, Sonny.

Making a fresh start Inspired by Oregon food culture, this ockƤsh is aking a es Story & photos by Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

T

he Oregon Coast seemed like an intriguing new adventure for culinary couple Ethan Granberg and Danelle Lochrie when they moved to Lincoln City four years ago. But little did the pair expect that the state would change their view of cooking and lead them to start all over — from scratch. Indeed, if the Rockfish Bakery were to pick a motto, ‘from scratch’ would be a good choice. Almost everything on the menu — from lunches to desserts to loaf upon loaf of gourmet bread — is made entirely in house, using as many local ingredients as possible. The couple were already foodies when they moved to the coast from Pittsburgh in 2009. Granberg worked as executive soux chef at the Inn at Spanish Head while Danelle managed the Rockfish — then owned by Rob and Mary Pounding of Blackfish Café fame. But it was during a nine-month stint in Corvallis at Les Caves Bier & Kitchen gastropub that the passion for house-made ingredients really took hold. “They made everything in house,” Lochrie said, “They showed it could be done.” Granberg said the couple took that philosophy back to the coast when the opportunity came up to buy the Rockfish from the Poundings. “It really kind of lit a fire inside of me,” he said, adding: “Oregon in general has changed my mind about the kind of cook that I want to be. It’s such an amazing, seasonal-but-always-abundant place.” And, for the past year, the couple

have been using seasonal ingredients to build a small but perfectly formed menu of wholesome dishes that avoid the culinary shortcuts of the supermarket age. “We are trying to go back to how everyone’s grandma cooked a hundred years ago,” Granberg said. That dedication extends even to the condiments, with Granberg recently perfecting a homemade ketchup to accompany the mustard that he and Lochrie already make in house. And there have to be very few places on this Earth where it is possible to get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich where everything, from the bread to the jelly, is 100-percent homemade. Limiting the size of the menu helps keep the workload manageable, but the couple are still to be found in the bakery at about 5 o’clock each morning, firing up the ovens for the day’s bread and getting to work on breakfast items. But Granberg said all the work is worth it for the joy that comes with creating things from scratch and also for the conversations that begin with a customer asking: “did you make this?” “We really like having that discussion with our customers,” he said, “that it’s not difficult to make these things and, in some small way, we are trying to change the way people think about food.” And the couple have found that they are not alone in their passion for good food, having developed a community of regular customers who enjoy cooking and learning about how the dishes are prepared.

Customers even drop by with ingredients they think the pair could use, like chanterelle mushrooms, or, sometimes, the output from their own kitchens — like cookies. “Is it awkward to bring cookies to a bakery?” Granberg said. “No. It’s fantastic, actually.” So, Granberg and Lochrie have taken Oregon and its attitude toward food well and truly into their hearts, but can their new clientele hope to find evidence of Pennsylvania food culture lurking within the Rockfish? Only if they stay for dessert, Granberg said, and try a slice of shoofly pie — a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe that combines custard and molasses to delicious effect. “That’s the one thing we brought with us,” he said. Except, of course, for the popcorn.

12 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • september 6, 2013

Popcorn? Yep, order a Rockfish sandwich and it comes complete with a side of freshly popped corn. Granberg said sandwiches used to come with a bag of potato chips, which became a problem; firstly because of trash from the packaging and secondly because the couple could not make them in house. So they ditched the chips in favor of popcorn, an old favorite from the restaurant where they both worked in Pittsburgh.

Lochrie said the couple never expected their choice of side to cause such a stir among customers. “The popcorn blows a lot of people’s minds,” she said. You can get your mind blown and your taste buds tantalized at the Rockfish Bakery from 8 am to 5:30 pm Wednesday to Saturday and 8 am to 3 pm on Sunday. The bakery, is located at 3026 NE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, call 541-996-1006.

Happy Holidays Already planning your Thanksgiving dinner? Let the Rockfish help out by providing bread, desserts and soup for the big day. The special order menu becomes available a month before Thanksgiving. Place your order, pick up the day before the holiday… and relax.

“Memories” by Carol Sands

“Country Scene” by Patti Johnson

Artists share spotlight in Newport gallery

Artists Patti Johnson and JerriLynn Woolley will take center stage for a two-week spotlight show at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, featuring oil paintings and photography. Johnson, raised on the East Coast, moved to Oregon in 1976 and is putting her more-than-40 years’ painting experience to work by teaching Yaquina Art Association classes in oils, acrylics and pencil. Having learned to paint from her parents, she has continued to develop her skills and currently focuses on oil portraits and china painting. Woolley has been running the Oregon Coast Photography business with her husband for the past nine years and taking photographs for enjoyment for the past seven. She loves to be out in the early mornings or in the evenings around sunset, trying to capture the magnificent feelings that come from being out in nature. She wants her pictures to helpviewers connect with a time when they were at the Oregon Coast. In addition to her coastal photos, Woolley will be displaying shots taken on a recent summer trip to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. More of her work is available at www.oregoncoastphotography.com. The show begins on Saturday, Sept. 6, and runs through Sept. 20. The gallery, located at 789 NW Beach Drive, is open from 11 to 4 pm daily.

“Love is What Stays” by Susan Cowan

“On the Edge of Her Seat” by Liz Walker

Forge ahead to Newport One of the most bizarre stories to emerge from the recent revelations about computer security (or the lack of it) is that Russia’s spy agency has bought a batch of typewriters in an attempt to keep its sensitive documents safe from the eyes of prying hackers. Another old-school security method can be seen at the Newport Visual Arts Center this month, as a group of Portland artists display their version of an ancient technique for marbling paper. Until the advent of computers, it was usual for ledgers to have marbled edges, making it easy to spot when someone had torn out a page

in order to cook the books. And marbling’s role in security dates back even further than that, all the way to the Ottoman Empire, which used marbled paper for their official documents right up until the 20th century. For this reason, marbling techniques were a closely guarded secret. If papers could not be marbled, documents could not be forged or altered. But, after five years of experimentation, Jean Blatner, Susan Cowan, Sandy Dutko, Airi Foote, Carol Sands and Liz Walker have created their own form of the Ottoman Empire’s practice of ebru marbling.

“Reflections” by JerriLyn Woolley

14 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • september 6, 2013

In their exhibit, the group will display paintings and collages created with the technique as well as marbled gourds and rotating trays. The exhibit will run through Sept. 29 in the Runyan Gallery of the center at 777 NW Beach Drive. There will be a chance to meet the artists in person at a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Sept. 6, with Walker giving a talk at 5:30 pm. Refreshments will be served. Walker will also be teaching a workshop, “From Marbled Paper to Finished Painting” on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the center. For more information, call Sally Houck at 541-265-6569.

A witnesses statement

“Water is Life” by Amber Sprague

“Lasting Aid (Haiti)” by Amber Sprague

“Empowering women through education” by Amber Sprague

The Newport Visual Arts Center will provide a window into global social issues, such as universal access to clean water and women’s right to education, when it hosts an exhibition of work by Amber Sprague this month. Sprague, who will be teaching art at Newport Intermediate School and Isaac Newton Magnet School this year, said she began creating her works in response to her own questions about how to be a compassionate member of the human race. “I was at a loss for how to act and respond to the deep-seated social injustices seen here and abroad,” she said. “Though I may not be able to eradicate widespread poverty with a single solution, I can bear witness to the real stories and hope found in the midst of these seemingly unsolvable problems.” Sprague’s show, “Bearing Witness,” uses mixed media paintings and collage to tell stories of people throughout the world overcoming adversity. Sprague said her decision to focus, one by one on lives that have been changed for the better, was inspired by Roman poet Lucretius’ observation that ‘constant dripping hollows out a stone.’ Born and raised in Chico, California, Sprague earned a master’s in teaching before completing a year-long teaching internship at Wilsonville High School, where, in addition to teaching, she co-managed a school-commissioned art installation. “In my art classroom I hope to encourage my students to express themselves, to think deeply and consciously, and to embrace mistakes as part of the learning process,” she said. “It is with great excitement that I start my art teaching career in this arts-centered community.” Sprague will donate 30 percent of any sales of her work during the exhibit to Bridging the Gap, a nonprofit organization working to raise awareness and funds to build clean water wells in developing countries. The exhibit, hosted by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Sept. 6 in the Upstairs Gallery of the visual arts center, at 777 NW Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround. Sprague’s works will be available to view from noon to 4 pm Tuesday through Saturday until Sept. 28. For more information, see the events at www.coastarts.org or call Sally Houck at 541-265-6569.

Clay it on me, Newport Clay art with a Mexican influence is on display in Newport, as the Yaquina Art Association Gallery hosts an artisan spotlight show featuring the work of Eileen Flory. Flory, whose education is in Spanish, anthropology and music, has visited Mexico many time, both as a child and, later,

to conduct research and purchase crafts. “When I work with clay I feel as though I am collaborating with Mother Nature, using earth, fire, water, and air,” she said. “In both clay and textile work, I am inspired by native techniques and designs, especially those of Mexican artisans.”

If you go

When not working with clay, Flory enjoys spinning, dyeing, weaving, seaweed pressing and paper crafts. Her website is www. eflory.org. Flory’s work will be available to view from 11 am to 4 pm daily until Friday Sept. 13, at the gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive, Newport.

“Steamboat Falls� by Christine Harrison

Water spectacular show for the Oregon Coast Tillamook County artist Christine Harrison will exhibit a body of work inspired by the power of nature at the Newport Visual Arts Center, in a Coastal Oregon Visual Artists Showcase that kicks o with a public reception on Friday, Sept. 6. Entitled “River Mantra,â€? the collection of pastel drawings and acrylic and oil paintings reects Harrison’s long-running fascination with water in all its forms. “Having almost drowned in my mid-twenties, I have often found myself attracted to and afraid of large bodies water,â€? she said. “While visiting Maui, I watched a stream leap 400 feet down a mountain wall and continue to cascade over two miles down to the sea. I kept thinking about what a powerful and graceful force I was witnessing.â€? A sculptor as well as a painter, Harrison is well known for her part in the creation of the three large cement cows that are prominently displayed in Tillamook County. Born in Oakland, California, and raised in a semi rural area east of Berkeley, she received her BA in Fine Arts from San Francisco State University and an MFA with distinction from Oakland’s College of the Arts. After ďŹ nishing her MFA, she received California Art Council Artist-in-Resident Grants that allowed her to work in her studio while she created a highly successful intergenerational art program for underserved populations of senior citizens and inner city public school children. She moved to Tillamook in 1998 and commuted for two years to ďŹ nish her grants. She currently teaches at Tillamook Bay Community College and Lesley University. Her works have been shown in one-person and group exhibitions across the country. The exhibit, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will be open to view from noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday until

Stay glassy, Lincoln City With more than 3,000 treasures up for grabs, Finders Keepers has never been more buoyant

M

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

uch in the way that 2000 is known as a good year for Oregon pinot noir and 2008 was a great year for California chardonnay, 2013 will likely go down in the history books as an excellent year for glass on the Oregon Coast. Lincoln City’s seven and a half miles of beaches have always been a good bet for finding treasures thanks to the generosity of the seldom-seen Float Fairies, who patrol the sands, leaving brightly colored glass floats in their wake.

The secretive order of fairies was established in 1999 in order to implement Finders Keepers, a Year-2000 celebration that saw the City sponsor the placement of 2,000 floats on the beach from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The promotion proved so popular that it continued the next year, with 2,001 floats; and the next, with 2,002, and so on. But this year the fairies have been going through boot camp to get them into shape for their biggest challenge so far — dropping more than 3,000 pieces of glass art on the beaches. In addition to the colorful floats, the treasures will

include antique Japanese glass fishing floats of the type that inspired the program to begin with, as well as smaller glass crabs and sand dollars. These smaller trinkets were designed especially for those tough days when its impossible for fairies to hit the beach without attracting a tail due to the telltale bulge of six floats concealed under their jacket. The fairies, whose identities remain a closely guarded secret, will place the glass on the beaches every day from Saturday, Sept. 7, to May 26 next year. Weather permitting, the treasures will be placed on beaches from Roads End in the north to Cutler City in the south, always above the high tide line and never hidden in the bluff. And, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Finders Keepers program, the fairies will be sweetening the deal and improving the odds by leaving extra large amount of glass on the beach for walkers to find. The first bumper crop will be placed on Saturday, Sept. 7. For a full list of these bonanza days — including a full 10 days of antique Japanese fishing float drops to coincide with Antique Week— take a peek at the sidebar. Each handcrafted float is signed and numbered, meaning that lucky finders can bring their treasures in to the visitor center to receive a certificate of authenticity and a biographical sketch of the artist who created their float. The visitor center is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy 101. And people who can’t walk on the beach are also invited to try their luck by dropping by the center and entering their names in a prize draw to win a float. The Finders Keepers program is sponsored by Chinook Winds Casino Resort, the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, Coho Oceanfront Lodge, Ester Lee Motel, Liberty Inn, Nordic Oceanfront Inn, Ocean Terrace Condos and the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau. For more information, contact the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800-452-2151 or go to www.oregoncoast.org

The kora in its distinctive playing position, in the hands of Surahata Susso

The stage at the Lincoln City Cultural Center is no stranger to exotic instruments. From the dual-hammered dulcimer to Javanese gongs it has seen notes plucked, banged and strummed out of the most unlikely contraptions. But perhaps the most unusual instrument of all will be on display on Saturday, Sept. 7, as Sean Gaskell performs a solo acoustic set on the Kora, an ancient 21-stringed harp from West Africa. Traditionally played by griots, or oral historians, the Kora has been around for about 300 years, although some of the songs traditionally played on the instrument go back some 800 years to the founding of the Mande Empire, in 13th Century Mali. Melodic and seemingly peaceful — Tthe Kora’s sound is at odds with a repertoire that includes ancient stories of war and hardship, as well as songs praising people of high political status and those who helped expand the Mande Empire. Gaskell’s performance will include

traditional songs of the Mandinka people from Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau, Gaskell has studied extensively under the instruction of Malamini Jobarteh and Moriba Kuyateh, both of Brikama, Gambia. He has also studied under Kane Mathis, a Kora player formerly based in Seattle who has lead groups such as The Kora Band and The Sahel Band. He has performed at the Kartong Festival in Gambia, the Dombondir Festival in Senegal, the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle and at various venues across the United States. The Sept. 7 concert will start at 7 pm in the auditorium of the center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $10 in advance and $12 at the door, are on sale now at the center or by phone at 541-994-9994. While in Lincoln City, Gaskell also plans an outreach concert in one of the local elementary schools. For details, call the center.

The ďŹ nal INHOUSE Jazz concert of the year will take place on Sunday, Sept. 8, with jazz pianist Randy Porter giving an intimate performance on a 1918 Steinway Grand Model B in an oceanfront Seal Rock home. Praised by The Oregonian as “a knowledgeable, inventive, and sophisticated player with a remarkable sense of time and gorgeous keyboard facility,â€? Porter will be display his unique style as he coaxes the classic instrument into life. “Randy Porter has performed with many jazz greats, recorded, performed and toured worldwideâ€? concert organizer Annie Averre said. “This is an opportunity for interested audience members to meet and listen to Randy up close before the 2013 Oregon Coast Jazz Party where he will be a festival artist.â€?

Randy Porter

The concert will run from 2:30 to 5:30 pm, with a suggested donation of $15 to $20. All proceeds beyond expenses are donated to local arts and education needs. Bring a beverage to drink and a potluck treat to share and RSVP to aaverre@hotmail.com or 360-606-7136 to reserve a seat.

Breakfast of Champions

Some people’s idea of a perfect Sunday morning revolves around three central concepts: 1) a long lie in; 2) a nice breakfast, possibly including bacon; and 3) some time to read the paper. But, for others, the only real way to get a Sunday started is with a three-quarter-kilometer swim in Devils lake, followed by a 15-and-a-half-kilometer bike ride around the lake and topped off with a five-kilometer run to the finish line. This breakfast of champions goes by the name of the Lincoln City Sprint Triathlon, which will get underway for the 23rd time on Sunday, Sept. 8. The race will get underway at 8:30 am, with competitors starting and finishing all three legs at Regatta Park, just off NE

West Devils Lake Road, making it the perfect place to park a lawn chair and watch the action. But there’s still time to sign up and be among the no-more-than-200 competitors who will cross the finish line, flush with the ruddy glow that comes with completing a great race. Registration is open for individuals and two- and three-person teams, with fees ranging from $55 to $75 through Sept. 7, and $60 to $80 on race day. Race organizer Karl McShane of the Lincoln City Community Center said the short but hilly course is perfect for novice and experienced athletes alike. Ribbons will be awarded to the top three finishers in five-year age divisions, and all participants will receive

Whodunit? Go to it! Few words chill the blood quite like ‘murder’ and little compares to the thrill of curling up with a well-written thriller and reading long into the night to find out who did the dastardly deed. “Whodunit?” is the title of Kempton Hewitt’s presentation to the Oregon Coast Learning Institute on Tuesday, Sept. 3, a talk that will explore our culture’s fascination with the murder mystery. Beginning with British novelists, the English-speaking world has supported a hugely profitable publishing industry of mysteries — one that has spread to become a truly global phenomenon. Hewitt’s presentation will disclose the ancient beginnings of the “Whodunit” genre, survey a variety of approaches taken by authors and perform several short readings and clips that illustrate style. He will also explore the factors that make mysteries suitable for conversion to stage and screen. “More importantly,” Hewitt said, “this question will be given an answer: ‘What inner need is satisfied by following a cleverly conducted investigation that, in the end, puts to rights a horrible wrong?’ Hewitt’s presentation will run from 1 to 3 pm, and will be preceded by Sheila Stevens’ talk, “Culture of Kapinga on the atoll of Kapingamarangi” from 10 am to noon. The Kapingamarangi atoll is the most isolated atoll in the western Pacific. Though included politically in Micronesia Kapingamarangi is the western most expansion of Polynesia and populated by islanders who appreciate their privacy and allow few visitors. Stevens was there for two months doing a magazine article in 1974, and went back in 1976. Her presentation will focus on the culture and beauty of the atoll. The institute meets at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, 7760 Hwy. 101, Gleneden Beach. Membership is $75 for the 24-session year and visitors are always welcome.

Brighton up your weekend

on stage

Want to see the funny side of the Great Depression? Neil Simon is your man. By Patrick Alexander

OREGON COAST TODAY

The drama of the old world colliding with the new will be played out in Newport when Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs” begins its three-week run on Friday, Sept. 6. A poignant coming-of-age comedy about the challenges faced by an immigrant Polish family in Brooklyn, the play will also bridge a generational gap on the coast by bringing high school students into a theater scene dominated by mature audiences. The play, staged by the Red Octopus Theater Company, boasts a cast that combines youthful talent with experienced performers to tackle the tale, described as Simon’s love letter to his past. Marc Maislen, publicity director for the Red Octopus group, said director Deborah Zirin was able to tap into Newport’s youth theater scene through her position as high school drama teacher as well as director of the summer theater camp. The result was an outpouring of interest from students who wanted to take part in the play; an experience Maislen said will be hugely helpful in developing their theatrical skills. “Because this play has teeth,” he said. “There’s really an emotional content in this because of the dynamic of the family.” The semi-autobiographical work, told through the eyes of Polish-American teenager, Eugene, paints a picture of life in a modest Brooklyn home with his immigrant parents and his older brother along with his widowed aunt and her two teenage daughters. Maislen said the tensions between a younger generation that wants to modernize and an older one that wants to stay true to tradition tell a timeless American tale that will strike a chord with many. He said Simon is a popular choice for theater on the Oregon Coast, where many retirees can relate directly to his subject matter and appreciate the way he develops his characters and storylines. “He doesn’t have to rush through anything.” Maislen said. “He understands the craft of writing. And older people are willing to take a breath and let the story unfold.” “And he’s funny,” he added. “The man really can write.” Veteran Red Octopus actors C.J. McCarty and Scott Branchfield play parents Kate and Jack Jerome; joined by Linda Capshaw

Above: Grant Burns and Josh Lawrence as Eugene and Stanley Left: The set conveys the close quarters of the family’s Brooklyn home Below: C.J. McCarty as Kate and Scott Branchfield as Jack

as aunt Blanche Morton. High school students fill three of the teenage roles, with Grant Burns as Eugene and Danielle Cramer and Grace Burns as Blanche’s daughters, Laurie and Nora. Eugene’s older brother is played by Josh Lawrence. Maislen said the play harks back to a time when families stayed close; opened their doors to members facing hard times; and shared their problems around the dinner table. The close quarters in which the extended family lives are emphasized by Darcy Hogan’s set, which gives the audience a cross-section view of the home, with two bedrooms above a ground-floor living area and back porch. Although the action is confined to the family home, global themes loom large, from the hardships of the Great Depression, to the rise of fascism in Europe — prompting fears for the safety of the family’s relatives still living in Poland.

“You do get a sense of awakening of the future,” Maislen said. “Something that the future holds for each of the kids.” Indeed, Simon went on to catalog Eugene’s path in the other two plays of what became known as his Eugene Trilogy; “Biloxi Blues” which follows the young man through his military service and “Broadway Bound,” which sees him move on into the world of theater. “Brighton Beach Memoirs” opens on Friday, Sept. 7, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street, with curtain at 7 pm. It will run through Sunday, Sept. 22, with performances at 7 pm each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There will be matinée performances at 2 pm on Sunday, Sept. 15 and 22. Tickets are $14 and are available online at coastarts.org or redoctopustheatre.org, at the box office, or by calling 541-265-ARTS (2787).

Tillamook asks: “Are you ready for inspection?”

The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is on the lookout for people interested in a role in its winter production and fervently hoping that life does not imitate art once the play gets underway. The play, “Inspecting Carol” by Daniel Sullivan, tells the story of the pathetic, almost-broke Soapbox Theatre Company, which is having a dickens of a time with its annual winter production of “A Christmas Carol.” The cast is tired of the old classic, which they have been performing so long that Tiny Tim has entered puberty. But the group needs to find a cash cow to impress the inspector from the National Endowment of the Arts into renewing their arts grant. Enter an incompetent actor who gets mistaken for said inspector. Everything goes wrong and hilarity ensues. The following roles are needed: Zorah Block, the founding director of The Soapbox Playhouse and extremely self-concerned; Sidney Carlton, a founding member of the company. Kind, but somewhat addled; Dorothy Tree Hapgood, Sidney’s wife, English and unable to lose her accent; Larry Vauxhall, Tough, intellectually vain child of the ’60s and still looking for a turn on; Phil Hewlitt, very obsessive and usually

SENIORS

plays the ineffectual character in any Soapbox production; Walter E. Parsons, African-American and recently taken up acting again after a stint in the armed forces; Luther Beatty, a large 11-year-old who’s been playing Tiny Tim two years too long, Kevin Emery, a nervous man in the impossible position of managing director; MJ McMann, a realist who long ago realized that the company hit bottom. Now a bemused observer; Betty Andrews, an inspector for the National Endowment for the Arts; Bart Frances, a pleasant youth; and Wayne Wellacre, in search of a new career in acting, no training, less talent, affable and eager to please. This production contains some mild adult language. Auditions will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Barn Community Playhouse at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. Volunteers are also needed for the stage and production crew. Rehearsals will be held mid-September, with the show set to run Nov. 22, 23, 29 and 30 and Dec. 1, 6, 7 and 8. For more information or to obtain an audition packet contact Director Chris Chiola at 503-842-6305 or info@tillamooktheater. com.

Deduce see this play yet?

Here at TODAY Towers, we love Sherlock Holmes in all his forms — from the stiff-upper-lipped Basil Rathbone to the younger, edgier incarnations currently gracing screens both large and small. But, after watching the great detective for the umpteenth time deduce the killer, motive, murder weapon and time of death all from studying the dirt under a suspect’s fingernails, we find ourselves wondering ‘where did this guy come from?’ In answer to that question comes Robert Buckingham, director of “Sherlock’s Secret Life” now playing at the Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook. Buckingham said the play is a “more or less a prequel” to the works of Sir Arthur

Sherlock, Lestrade and Moriarty

Conan Doyle, who cataloged the famous detective’s life extensively in 56 short stories and four novels. “It allows the playwright to take come liberties with what we all think we know about Sherlock Holmes,” he said. Written by Ed Lange, the play tells the story of the young, idealistic Holmes

during the early years of his collaboration with Dr. Watson. In addition to the familiar characters of Professor Moriarty, Inspector Lestrade and Holmes’ landlady Mrs Hudson, the play introduces two new faces, Dr. Watson’s nurse, Mollie, and the mysterious Marianna, the supposed true

love of Holmes’ life. However, Marianna’s identity and motives remain a mystery for the detective and doctor until a dramatic final scene. “Sherlock’s Secret Life,” staged in partnership with the Oregon Coast Dance Center, runs through Sept. 15, at 7 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm on Sundays. Doors open half an hour prior to curtain. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook. Reserved seating is available through Diamond Art Jewelers at 503842-7940. Tickets are $15 for adults; $10 for seniors or students; or $40 for a family of four. For more information, go to facebook.com/tillamooktheater or contact info@ tillamooktheater.com.

The cast of “Sherlock’s Secret Life” with members of the Blue Carbuncle order.

Down in front! If audience members at the Saturday, Sept. 7, performance of “Sherlock’s Secret Life” find their view of the stage impeded by a magnificent hat, chances are they have found a seat behind one of the members of the Noble and Most Singular Order of the Blue Carbuncle, who will be attending the performance in period dress. Formed in 1971, the society holds formal dinners, discusses themes related to Holmesian fiction, and takes an academic approach to appreciating Doyle’s work. New members must spend a year as an “egg,” attending five of the group’s events and are only granted membership after displaying sufficient knowledge of the works during a grilling at the group’s Christmas dinner.
