from the editor
The height of fashion
I
t is a little-known fact about your humble editor that I stand at precisely ďŹ ve feet, eleven inches and a little bit. All things considered, it’s not such a bad height — tall enough to help out little old ladies in the grocery store by reaching the high shelves, but not so tall that I get pointed at in the street or bang my knees on the back of airline chairs. No, ďŹ ve foot eleven is just ďŹ ne almost every day of the year. Every day except Saturday, April 26. That’s when I get to co-host the Lincoln City Community Days awards banquet with a woman who, among her many other charms, stands an inch over six feet tall. Allison Cook, this year’s Miss Oregon, will, I am conďŹ dent to say, outshine me in every way when we take to the stage at Chinook Winds Casino Resort to introduce this year’s award winners. But, if it is my destiny to appear on stage as a hairy midget, my Patrick Alexander Scottish heritage means that I will at least be a hairy Editor midget in a great big woolen skirt. Now, some persnickety people insist that a kilt is not a skirt and have even been known to start ďŹ ghts to ok Co on llis A n prove the point. As most kilt-wearing Scotsmen also have a sharp knife tucked go Miss Ore into their sock, these people are to be avoided. But whatever you call it, there is no denying that a good 10 yards of heavy wool swishing around your hindquarters lends a certain something to any occasion — aside from the inevitable moths. And pest control is just one of the many reasons that kilt owners the world over enjoy dusting o their garb at pretty much every opportunity. But a far more compelling reason for breaking out the ďŹ nery is that, having chosen to live in an area so relaxed that it is entirely possible to get through an entire year without one putting on a tie, it’s just great fun to get dressed up every now and then. Besides, my kilt brogues are the highest-heeled shoes I’ve got, giving me another half an inch. And, with this crowd, I’ll take any advantage I can get. TODAY photo sh a kilt

Far more than a two-by-four For some people, wood is just wood. But, for the experts at Oregon State University, wood is “a multilayered, lignocellulosic, visoelastic, thermoplastic, cellular material of biological origin that is both hygroscopic and anisotropic.” And understanding wood’s more complex side is the best way to understand its behavior during cutting, shaping and drying. So OSU’s extension service in Tillamook and Newport are offering workshops for wood industry personnel, woodworkers, hobbyists or those just interested in learning more about wood behavior. The Tillamook class will run from 5:30 to 8:30 pm on
Wednesday, April 30, at Tillamook Bay Community College, 4301 3rd Street. All students must register by Monday, April 28. A second class will take place at the Lincoln County Extension Service Office, 29 SE 2nd Street, Newport, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, May 3. Students must register by Thursday, May 1. The class fee is $25. For more information or to register, contact Jim Reeb at Jim.Reeb@ oregonstate.edu.

rganizers of Depoe Bay’s annual Crab Feed, Classic Wooden Boat Show and Ducky Derby make it a point of pride to send everyone home with a full belly and a smile on their face. But one lucky guest will also be going home with a genuine piece of shipwreck treasure in the form of a silver coin retrieved from a Portuguese trading vessel wrecked off the coast of Mozambique almost 400 years ago. The coin, donated by Nick Bruyer of the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce, serves as the grand prize in the ducky derby, which sees hundreds of colorful bathtub ducks released to race into the harbor on Sunday afternoon. The derby also offers several other prizes donated by Depoe Bay merchants, including clothing and food. On both Saturday and Sunday, guests can enjoy a diner of locally caught
Dungeness crab with all the trimmings at the Community Hall, which will offer indoor and outdoor dining options as well as a beer garden. A whole crab dinner costs $20; with a half costing $15. Also throughout the weekend, the 20th Annual Wooden Boat Show will have 40 vintage and modern vessels from all over the Northwest on display at the harbor. Admission to the show is free as is the boat-building demonstration that gives both the young and the young-at-heart the chance to build their own model. For those interested in larger vessels, US Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay will be throwing open its doors and offering tours of the patrol and rescue boats operated by the “Hole in the Wall Gang” — the dedicated lifesavers who take their name from the tiny opening to “the world’s smallest harbor.” Depoe Bay is also famous as “Oregon’s whale watching capital” thanks to a resident pod of Gray whales, that offer near year-round whale watching. At the Whale Watching Center, park rangers are on hand daily from 10 am to 4 pm to help visitors spot the giants. Admission to the center is free. For more information or to plan a group trip, contact Nick Bruyer at 541270-3944 or njbruyer@msn.com.
ƫɅȯȾΎɇȽɃɀΎȰȷȺȺΎȴȽɀΎȯΎȱȽȷȼ The grand prize in Sunday’s Ducky Derby dates from 1561 and was part of a cargo of “pieces of eight” recovered from the wreck of the Sao Jose the royal flagship of King Philip III of Spain and Portugal that was lost with all hands off the coast of Mozambique in 1622. The Sao Jose was leading a fleet of ships bound from Lisbon to India, loaded with coins forged in the mints
of Mexico, Bolivia and Spain and also carrying Francisco da Gama, great grandson of the Portugese explorer Vasco de Gama, to take his post as the new viceroy of India. As the fleet made its way through the Mozambique Channel, a combined force of British and Dutch ships attacked, cutting off and surrounding the Sao Jose. In a desperate attempt to escape, the Sao Jose ran aground on a reef. The enemy managed to seize a small portion of the treasure before the ship broke up and sank, with the loss of more than 300 lives. For more than 380 years, the ship and its treasure remained on the bottom of the channel until it was discovered in 2003. The recovery of the coins caused quite a stir among coin collectors, including Nick Bruyer, who acquired several and has offered one as the ducky derby prize for three years running. Crudely hand-struck, the coins have edges that were trimmed by hand to make them the correct weight. The design features the Spanish royal coast of arms on one side and a large cross with symbolic lions and castles on the other side. The coin is mounted in a hardwood presentation case and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a history of the treasure.

Day of the
CACKLE Whatever you do during Community Days, just remember to laugh
E
very so often, Lincoln City has a quiet week. A few days where there is nothing to do but stroll the beach and admire the ocean; or curl up with a good book and a cup of tea. This is not that week. With the return of Community Days for its 54th year, the town is set for nine days of madcap activity, ranging from dogwalking on the beach to golf on the mud flats and garage sales in every conceivable location. The wide range of activities on offer is a testament to the guiding principle of Community Days — if you don’t see an event you like this year, step up and organize it for next time. “It’s a way of saying ‘thank you,’” Community Days co-chair Shirley Hill said. “Thanks because this is a great community and thank you to the people that put so much time into the community over the past year.”

Did someone say garage sale on the beach?
Friday, April 18 – Sunday, April 20
This year’s Community Days kicks off with the Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale — a three-day extravaganza that stretches from Otis all the way to Newport. Packrats along the coast have been scouring their garages to ensure that no bargain hunter has to go home empty handed. Maps listing all garage sale venues are available at locations along the coast, including the chambers of commerce in Lincoln City and Newport. Sales by organizations include a furniture extravaganza by Family Promise of Lincoln County from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, April 19, on the ground floor of Mid City Plaza, 800 SE Hwy 101. Meanwhile, the Eagles Lodge will hold a sale on Friday, April 18, and Saturday, April 19, from 10 am to 4 pm each day at Highway 101 and SW 32nd Street.
Saturday, April 19
If you thought garage sale bargain hunters were fast, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The cheetah, the gazelle, the peregrine falcon — none can match the speed of the kids involved in the Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt. Woe betide the spectator who turns up just 20 seconds late for this candy-fueled stampede, held every year at noon, sharp in Regatta Park, just off NE West Devils Lake Road Also today, the Lincoln City Cultural Center hosts the community’s Earth Day Festival from 11 am to 3 pm at 540 NE Hwy 101 — see page 14 for details. Keep an eye out for the blue pinwheel garden set up each year on the center’s front lawn, drawing attention to April’s status as child abuse awareness and prevention month.

The presentation, with songs in English and Spanish, will run from 6 to 8 pm on the second floor at 801 SW Hwy. 101.
Thursday, April 24
Thursday will be dominated by two Community Days institutions, both of which run throughout the day. The canned food drive will see community figures stationed outside Kenny’s IGA North waving signs, dancing and generally doing whatever it takes to grab the attention of passing drivers. Food and cash donations all go to the local food pantry. Many of those same community figures will then rush over to the studios of KBCH 1400AM for Radio Days, where they will proceed to ham it up as guest presenters, with all the money from the day’s ads going to support Community Days. Continued on Pg. 11

At noon, there will be another chance to meet Miss Oregon, who will join the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln City for their lunch at Mist Restaurant, 2945 NW Jetty Avenue. At 6:30 pm, the Lincoln City Community Center will open its doors for an evening of fun, with a nickel dive for kids; and the 2nd annual Ducky Derby that will see a cascade of duckies make their way down the water slide. Ducks are five bucks apiece, with prizes for the winners.

It just wouldn’t be Community Days without Mud Flat Golf, nine holes of pure, ludicrous enjoyment on Siletz Bay at low tide. The first hole is just north of The Bay House Restaurant and the course will be open from 2 to 4 pm. The $5 fee helps support high school golfers. From noon to 6 pm, the Lincoln City Cultural Center will be hosting the Relay For Life Craft Sale, which will continue on Saturday from noon to 4 pm. End the day by grooving away to guilty pleasures like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hootie and the Blowfish at the 90s Prom, organized by the Lincoln City Young Professionals.

Oregon Coast TODAY
usic will ring out as Lincoln City’s Earth Day celebrations get underway on Saturday, April 19, with bluegrass group Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising proving a very fitting choice of headline act. Because, just like the phoenix, Earth Day has risen from the ashes at the Lincoln City Cultural Center — back, bigger and better than ever after a five-year break. As well as live music, the event will feature locally sourced foods, a farmers market, locally brewed beers and the chance to learn skills including bike repair and how to grow tomatoes at the coast. Guests will also have the opportunity to tour a recently completed forest-thinning project; try their hands at making recycled art; and learn about the crucial role of small fish in the oceans.
Danelle Lochrie of Rockfish Bakery
Organizer Gretchen Ammerman said she threw herself into planning the return of Earth Day after she and cultural center Executive Director Niki Price agreed that many people missed the event. With assistance from the cultural center as well as a lot of leeway from Tina French, her boss at North Lincoln Sanitary Service, Ammerman started rounding up the components for a family friendly day of fun. She said that almost everyone she asked was only too happy to take part, like Soren Klingsporn, who will be providing a bike clinic to walk people through easy fixes like tightening a chain or changing a pedal. Bring your bike and questions. A farmers market will offer fresh produce from Corvus Landing Farm, Mama Tee’s Farm and Farmer Creek Farm as well as seedlings sold by students at Taft High to help fund their campus gardening project. “Our farmers are pretty excited,” Ammerman said. “I think it’s going to be a wonderful way to kick off the spring.” In addition to the farmers market, Earth-friendly vendors will be selling up-cycled goods like t-shirt skirts and flour sack bags. Throughout the day, Carolina Lyddy from Corvus Landing Farm will give pointers on how to grow tomatoes at the coast, including tips on the best varieties for the area. Lyddy’s tomatoes often end up in the dishes served at the Rockfish Bakery, which will be on hand, selling sweet and savory treats. Owners Ethan Granberg and Danelle Lochrie make everything — down to their condiments — from

Liquid refreshment will be provided by the award-winning Rusty Truck Brewing Company who have donated three kegs of locally crafted beer, available for a small fee per glass, with all proceeds supporting the cultural center. Ammerman said that while many people are increasingly aware of the need to live in an eco-conscious way every day, Earth Day is still an important symbol. “This is a reminder of some of the environmental laws that were put in place around the time of the first Earth Day — The Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act,” she said. “It’s a reminder of some of the important things we put down 44 years ago-ish to protect our environment.”

Branching out At 11:30 am, a shuttle bus will take guests from the cultural center about a mile south to the Agnes Creek Open Space for a tour of the recently completed forest-thinning project. Led by Lincoln City Parks Board Chair Steve Griffiths, the tour will pass along the roughly half-mile loop trail installed as part of the project, which aims to help speed the former timber farm’s transition into an ancient forest. Griffiths said the area was clear cut about 60 years ago and the resulting regrowth was unhealthy — with tall, skinny trees of all the same height crowded together, making it impossible to walk through the forest. “Sunlight is now hitting the forest floor,” he said. “We will be seeing salals and evergreen huckleberry popping up.” The thinning project, completed last summer, is the first attempted by the City in one of its Open Space areas, properties bought with special funding, approved by voters in 1990. “I think Lincoln City is so fortunate and so visionary to have created that Open Space bond,” he said. “There are now 350 acres within the city limits that are preserved forever as natural areas.” “I think the more people we get into our open spaces, the more they will take action to protect them and to make sure they remain healthy.”
Get schooled Earth Day guests will also get the chance to learn about the crucial role played by small “forage fish,” such as herring, smelt and anchovies in the ocean food web. A 1 pm presentation by the Pew Charitable Trusts will aim to shine a light on these unsung heroes, which support the ocean’s more headline-grabbing species such as whales, pelicans, salmon and albacore tuna.

All’s fair in love and forts
Not too long ago, I reunited with some of my former Newport High School journalism students to participate in one of the most spiritually rewarding activities known to anyone who visits an Oregon Coast beach — building a driftwood fort. The overarching goal of our reunion was simple and grandiose — these reporters from the school’s magazine, the Harbor Light, would become the first high school staff in the annals of American journalism to take a field trip to build driftwood forts and then produce a special issue on this quintessential Oregon subject. (The issue’s coming out soon!) The rain was relentless that day, and came in at least a dozen different styles and directions. Of course I loved that, but a few students initially groaned at the prospect of getting soaked on the beach. But as the day unfolded, I told the staff that without rain — no stupendous fort-building story. With sunshine — merely great. A few smirked at that, but one kid stripped down to a tank top and shorts. He’ll go far in life and was clearly a master fort builder. After the construction of three forts and various hi jinks with kelp, the soggy crew repaired to a pizza parlor for lunch where I led them through a fort building writing
workshop. The prompts were: 1. Describe a driftwood fort with three adjectives. 2. What are three verbs/actions needed to build a driftwood fort? 3. How do you build the ultimate fort? 4. Write an equation for an Oregon Coast driftwood fort. 5. Finish this simile: Building a driftwood fort is like_____. 6. Answer this question: How does one fortify one’s life? 7. Describe the type of fortifications you’ve built to protect yourself. 8. Where do you need fortitude in your life? 9. That one rule of driftwood forts is____. 10. Doctor Fort prescribes_____. 11. Confess a secret inside the driftwood fort. 12. Who or what do you want to wrestle with inside a driftwood fort? 13. Search your mind and recall the best fort from childhood. Describe it. 14. What’s the best band name with the word “fort” in it? Here’s what wrote: I build the ultimate fort in my mind every day. Collaborate, hoist, interlock. Thank you beavers, for the buck-toothed fort wood you sent flowing down the watersheds. Building a driftwood fort is like becoming and eternal child in a world ruined by adults. When I build a driftwood fort, I laugh
out loud. LOL! Once I build a driftwood fort app for smart phones, I’ll become the billionaire I’ve never dreamed of becoming. Fort Rain is a great name for a band. I would roadie for them. Later, one of the students on the field trip, Jane Myrick, a sophomore, sent me her poem that emerged from the workshop. It thought it so great, that I simply had to share it with you. All is fair in love and forts. A secret sanctuary, Eternal status or quick cavorts. Waves of satisfaction crashing, Secluded like an oasis, Wind like a whip slashing. Some like ‘em smooth, Some like ‘em rough. Break down driftwood barriers, And embrace the salty stuff. Matt Love is the founder of Nestucca Spit Press, which recently published “Driftwood Forts of the Oregon Coast.” The book is available at all coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com.

Known as a ten-gallon soul in a half-pint body, Boyd provides the bass beat and sparkle to Phoenix Rising. With an entertainment and public speaking career spanning decades, she knows what
an audience wants and always delivers.

Nothing mellow about this drama There’s nothing like a dramatic pause to heighten the suspense. And so it is fitting that the Oregon Coast Chamber Music Society’s upcoming “Melodrama Medley” has left classical music fans on the edge of their seats for more than two months. Originally scheduled for early February, the performance of music and literature was postponed due to bad weather. It will now take place on Sunday, April 19, with well-known narrator Edmund Stone from All Classical FM joining forces with pianist Cary Lewis. The pair will perform selections including the “The Castle by the Sea” by Ludwig Uhland with music by Richard Strauss; an adapted version of Cervantes’ “Don Quixote” with music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold; Robert Browning’s “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” and Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” with music by Arthur Bergh; and Alexander Pushkin’s “The Fisherman and the Fish” with music by Nilolai Tcherepnin. Edmund Stone began his career as a teenager in theater for youth in England before moving to Scotland, where he became a film correspondent for BBC Radio and Thompson Publications. In 1980 he moved to Hollywood where he covered the Academy Awards and
16 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • april 18, 2014
interviewed celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock. He has also lent his rich vocal talents to narrating more than 1,000 educational audio books. Stone now hosts All Classical FM programs on weekend afternoons and evenings. In 2006, he created “The Score,” a nationally and internationally syndicated film music program which he writes, produces and hosts. Cary Lewis has been in demand as a collaborative pianist for soloists and chamber music groups since the beginning of his career. Together with cellist Dorothy Lewis and violinist William Preucil, he received acclaim throughout the U.S. and Europe as a member of the Lanier Trio. A former Fulbright scholar, he has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, the White House and London’s Wigmore Hall. In addition, Lewis has made more than 36 recordings on 11 labels and has performed in music festivals around the world. He is still a frequent guest at festivals and chamber groups and contributes to the annual Astoria Festival on a regular basis. Organizers are also hoping to present musical prodigy Kristin Qian with a performance of poems and music based on her published book “The Silly

Monkey World.” The April 19 concert will take place at 3 pm in an ocean-view home in Lincoln Beach. Tickets are $25 per person, including light refreshments prepared and served by Taft High Culinary Club.

Celebrating Stafford Lincoln City’s ongoing celebration of former Oregon poet laureate William Stafford will continue next weekend with a poetry workshop led by Central Oregon poet Jarold Ramsey, followed by a reading of his and Stafford’s works. All aspiring poets aged 18 and older are invited to Ramsey’s workshop, which will take place at the Driftwood Public Library on Saturday, April 26. The class, which runs from 2 to 4:30 pm, will consist of teaching, exercises and group discussion. Ramsey grew up on a ranch near Madras — a home to which he and his wife, Dorothy, returned in 2000. In between, they raised two daughters and a son in Rochester, New York, where he was a member of the English faculty at the University of Rochester. His poetry collections include “Love in an Earthquake,” “Hand-Shadows” and “Where the Wind Comes to Play,” written with Bill Baber. His prose books include “Coyote Was Going There,” “Reading the Fire” and “New Era: Reflections on the Human and Natural History of Central Oregon.” On Sunday, April 27, at 3 pm, the library will host a reading of poetry from workshop participants as well as Ramsey’s own work and poetry by Jarold Ramsey William Stafford. Both events are free but advance registration is required for the workshop. To register, contact Ron Sears at 541-996-1255 or rsears@ driftwoodlib.org. The library is located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City.

A time to rhyme in Manzanita
Noted poets Lisa Steinman and John Sibley Williams will be in Manzanita on Saturday, April 19, for PoetryFest, a day of workshops and discussions dedicated to the written word. Organized by the Manzanita Writers’ Series, the event will begin at 10 am with a workshop from Steinman on how to generate new writing and make poems out of images, memories or sounds. The workshop, which runs from 10 am to noon at the Hoffman Center, will include exercises aimed at helping participants make extraordinary poems out of ordinary things. Steinman has taught at Reed College in Portland, since 1976. Since 1983, she and her husband, Jim Shugrue, have edited the poetry magazine Hubbub. She is the author of three books about poetry as well as collections of poems, the latest being “Absence & Presence.” From 1 to 3 pm, Williams will lead a workshop on how to take a poem
Lisa Steinman
John Sibley Williams
from the merely personal to one that speaks to larger issues. This interactive workshop will consider poems that have succeeded in “universalizing the intimate” and provide hands-on advice on how to strengthen poetry to ensure
it touches readers while remaining true to the poet’s experience and vision. Williams, the author of “Controlled Hallucinations” and six poetry chapbooks, is the winner of the HEART Poetry Award and finalist
for the Pushcart, Rumi, and The Pinch Poetry Prizes. He serves as editor of The Inflectionist Review, co-director of the Walt Whitman 150 project and marketing director of Inkwater Press. At 3 pm, Steinman and Williams will sign their books, followed by round-table readings and conversation — a supportive forum where members of the public can share one of their own poems. Tuition for the workshops is $30 each, or $50 for both. The book signing and the round-table conversations are free and open to the public. To register for the workshops, go to http://hoffmanblog.org/manzanitawriters-series/2014-workshopschedule and click on the link for the registration form.

Sunriver Nature Center: “This is no travelogue of a trail, but a human adventure that brings into play unexpected challenges, unexpected heroes, and an unexpected ending.

Many copies of the book are still available at the library, as well as in local book stores.

Entitled “The Heart in the Details: New Ways of Conveying and Evoking Emotion in Our Writing,” the workshop is the latest in the Writers on Writing series offered by the Oregon Coast Chapter of Willamette Writers. Eslami will offer writers tips on how to go beyond simply writing about emotion and actually evoke emotion in their readers. “Writers know that instead of telling our readers a story, they should be showing it to them,” Eslami said. “‘To tell’ means that the reader is at the author’s mercy. The author delivers the story, while the reader passively receives it. To show, on the other hand, involves and invites the reader. To show means the author’s images play out on the screen of the reader’s imagination. The reader becomes part of the act of storytelling, actively filling in the gaps, taking partial ownership of the story.” Eslami will look at several examples of writers who excel at breaking hearts, raising hackles and fraying nerves, as well as those who come up short, leaving their readers numb and unmoved. Students will learn how to avoid some of the common mistakes writers make
when trying to describe emotion and will get to examine strategies for getting readers more emotionally invested. Finally, the group will dive in and try these strategies with some written exercises, so participants should be sure to being either pen and paper or a laptop. Eslami is the author of the acclaimed novel “Bone Worship” and the forthcoming story collection, “Hibernate,” for which she was awarded the 2013 Ohio State University Prize in Short Fiction. Her essays, short stories and travel writing have been published widely, most recently in The Literary Review, The Sun and Witness, and her work is featured in the anthologies “Tremors: New Fiction By Iranian American Writers” and “Writing Off Script: Writers on the Influence of Cinema.” She holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and an MFA from the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers and serves as a senior prose editor at Tupelo Quarterly as well as teaching in the MFA Program at Manhattanville College. The free workshop runs from 2 to 4 pm in the McEntee Room of the Newport Public Library at 35 Nye Street. For more information call Theresa Wisner at 541-270-3870.
