Oregon State Park rangers are stepping up education and outreach efforts to prevent damage and erosion caused by people taking shortcuts from and carving on beach cliffs.

Rangers said the damage can be seen all along the Coast, but is especially evident in the Roads End area of Lincoln City.

“There is accelerated cliff crumbling and rock slides in the Roads End area mostly attributed to cliff carving and people taking shortcuts from the cliff to the beach,” Ben Cox Oregon State Parks Manager said. “There are sections of the fence where people climb through and erosion is very evident.”

Local residents have posted an online warning to

beachgoers about the rockslides caused by the erosion. According to the website, Roads End Community, there are two areas of concern: “The largest rocks are about halfway between the last houses on Logan Road and the end of the beach.

Note that high tide can force you to walk near this rockslide. Rocks have also fallen at the end of the beach at Roads End Rock. There has been a lot of rain and the

rocks and hillside are loose.

You can hear gravel. Be careful and warn your guests.”

Cox also warned that the accelerated cliff erosion is See EROSION Page A7

The Lincoln City City Council unanimously voted Monday, March 24, to grant permission for the City to apply for funding to purchase 6.7 acres of former Taft Elementary School property on S.E. 51st Street from the Lincoln County School District.

Several local coaches, youth sports participants and their parents gathered at City Hall to urge local leaders to pursue purchase of the property with an Oregon Parks and Recreation Local Government Grant to help alleviate a shortage of playing fields and give area youth and residents a city park.

“Think of the investment in our kids’ future,” longtime local soccer coach Ray Santos said.

“We may not be around to enjoy that field, but our kids will be.”

Oregon State Police (OSP) investigators said at approximately 8:40 a.m., a witness traveling southbound on Highway 101 near milepost 130 reported Ruiz’s Saturn sports utility vehicle passed their vehicle

southbound at a high rate of speed, traveled off the highway through a wide turnout and went off the cliff at the entrance to Otter Crest Loop. Investigators said the car traveled approximately 250 feet in the air before landing 100 feet on the

vehicle and died. A rope rescue team consisting of personnel from Yachats, Central Coast, Newport, Toledo and North Lincoln Fire & Rescue was called to the scene to reach the victim.

Governments continue review of medical pot dispensaries JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Lincoln City City Council has yet to set a date to review a possible one-year moratorium against development of medical marijuana dispensaries within City limits.

The Depoe Bay City Council will meet with the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners before deciding whether it should adopt the moratorium.

“We need to know more

about the options we have,” Depoe Bay Mayor A.J. Matilla said.

The Newport City Council

approved a moratorium Monday, March 17, allowing the City to develop reasonable regulations concerning loca-

tion and operation of the pot dispensaries.

The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved a one-year moratorium against the pot dispensaries March 3.

“This is not about medical marijuana,” said Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall. “That has been settled by voters. This is a about the manner in which marijuana is distributed. This is something that is really evolving. We need the opportunity to think this through and look at the community impacts. It is im-

portant for local government to regulate where and how these facilities are located.”

The Oregon Legislature approved a bill allowing local

governments to enact the one-year ban.

Nelscott Cafe up for sale

Sheridan Jones Weather Details

JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

The Nelscott Cafe, a small but popular local breakfast and lunch restaurant open since December 2009, is being sold by the Williams family of Lincoln City.

Owner Don Williams, who recently purchased a Subway sandwich shop in Newport to go along with two he owns in Washington, said he hopes to concentrate his efforts on his developing catering business at the old Taft Fire Hall building.

“We wanted to consolidate our business interests here at the Coast,” Williams said. “We are selling Nelscott primarily to focus on the new project in Taft.”

The cafe, located at 3237 S.W. Highway 101, is listed with Don’s wife, restaurant co-owner and real estate broker, Debbie, through Prudential Taylor & Taylor for $69,950.

Besides a catering business and banquet hall, Williams said he is going to operate Siletz Bay Foods out of the building he and Debbie purchased and donated majority use of to Family Promise of Lincoln County.

Manufacture of locally sourced products such as sea salts and jams will be done and the products sold on an open e-market.

We also hope to develop the back area into a type of ‘Saturday Market’ area for other local vendors,” Williams said.

The couple has been Subway franchisees since 2006, starting with stores in Ridgefield and Hazel Dell, Wash.

The Williams’ business interests grew with the addition of three Portland

Protect your family financially from flooding When it comes to protecting your family from the devastation of unexpected events, you might think homeowners insurance is all you need to be covered. However, most standard homeowners insurance policies don’t cover flooding — the No. 1 natural disaster in the United States.

“If it can rain where you live, it can flood,” Jeanne Salvatore of the Insurance Information Institute said. “Just because you haven’t experienced a flood in the past, doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t in the future.

Flood risk can change rapidly from year to year.”

Experts advise to do your family a favor and prepare for the worst. Here are some tips to help you keep your head above water as you make plans to prepare for a flood: • Know the causes: Many may not think of flooding in winter, but the season can bring weather that can cause devastating floods, like heavy rains, rapid snowmelt and winter storms. Also, areas that have experienced a wildfire are at a significantly increased risk

of flash flooding for up to five years.

• Be proactive: Just a few inches of water can cost tens of thousands of dollars in damage and federal disaster assistance is usually a loan that must be paid back with interest. Additionally disaster assistance is only available if the president signs a declaration of disaster.

Not all floods are declared a disaster, so get flood insurance before catastrophe strikes.

• Don’t wait to get covered: Typically, there’s a 30-day waiting period before flood policies take effect. Don’t wait until the storm clouds gather to get insured.

• Insure wisely: Flood insurance, which is recommended for almost everyone, is available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to homeowners, renters, condo owners and business owners.

While rates are set and don’t differ from company to company or agent to agent, opting for a flood savvy agent means you will get your questions answered properly.

• Stay safe: What’s even more

important than protecting your home during a flood, is protecting you and your family. Floods can be life-threatening events, so monitor weather reports to assess impending flood risk and get to a safer location, when needed.

Be sure to know the do’s and don’ts of flood safety. If flooding occurs, go to higher ground, avoiding flood-prone areas on the way. Never attempt to walk across flowing streams or drive through flooded roadways.

Listen to a battery-operated radio for information. Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if advised to do so.

Remember, flood water can contain harmful substances like gasoline and bacteria. If you’ve come in contact with floodwaters, wash your hands with soap and clean water.

More flood safety tips can be found at Ready.gov. To assess your current risk for flooding and to locate an agent serving your area, visit FloodSmart.gov or call 888-226-9499.

Thousands join SOLV spring beach cleanup THE NEWS GUARD

Daniel Vincent Christiansen

Memorial scheduled for 3-year old cancer victim JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A memorial service is set for 3 p.m. Sunday, March 30, in Lincoln City for Daniel Vincent Christiansen, the 3-year-old Otis boy who lost his battle with cancer March 6.

The Celebration of Life will be held at Taft High 7-12, 3780 S.E. Spyglass Ridge in Lincoln City.

Daniel became an honorary firefighter in stations worldwide after his parents asked North Lincoln Fire & Rescue (NLFR) to let him ride in a fire engine.

NLFR made Daniel an honorary firefighter and shared his story through the Facebook page “Firefighters for Team Daniel,” making Daniel’s dream come true.

“Fire stations all over the globe welcomed Daniel into their ranks and posted pictures of fire helmets and lockers with his name on them,” Capt. Jim Kusz of NLFR said. “Daniel’s strength and inspiration brought firefighters and thousands of caring individuals from all walks of life, from every conceivable location, together, which helped give Daniel a few weeks as a firefighter, give his family a lifetime of memories and show that one boy’s story can pierce the heart of our nation’s bravest.”

Daniel leaves behind his parents Stephanie and Duncan, and his 5-year-old brother, Sean.

Donations can be made at any U.S. Bank to the Firefighter Daniel Memorial Fund.

Oregon beaches are ready for summer after shedding close to 23 tons of trash Saturday, March 22. More than 4,500 volunteers helped clear the Oregon Coast of an estimated 45,955 pounds of trash during the annual Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism (SOLV) Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup, organizers said.

An Oregon tradition for 30 years, the biyearly coast-wide beach cleanups have seen nearly 225,000 Oregon volunteers remove an estimated 2.8 million pounds of trash from the state’s beaches since 1984.

“None of this work would be possible without the dedicated zone and beach captains that lead thousands of volunteers across 47 cleanup sites,” Joy Irby, program coordinator for SOLV, said. “The success of this event truly belongs to everyone that participated.”

The most common items found were cigarette butts, fishing ropes and plastic bottles, but volunteers also found telephone poles, the remains of a sunken crab vessel in Brookings, a large semi truck tire at Glenedan Beach, and a 200-pound block of Styrofoam in Netarts Bay. SOLV worked with more than 60 volunteers from Portland Shokookai and the Japan-America Society of Oregon, a partnership that has been indispensable in the years following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

“So many Oregonians have a deep bond with our Japanese

friends whose lives and livelihoods were so affected by the tragic disasters of March 11, 2011,” Dixie McKeel, executive director of the Japan-America Society of Oregon, said.

“By coming together for the beach cleanup with SOLV, we now have a framework of committed volunteers from many Japan-related organizations in our community who support

efforts along our Oregon beaches now and in the future.”

Due to shared ocean currents, marine debris impacts coastlines across the North Pacific Ocean, washing up on the shores of Japan and the West Coast of the United States.

“The SOLV cleanup is a wonderful opportunity to work together and promote mutual understanding and friendship

between our two countries,” McKeel said.

The nonprofit Washed Ashore took debris from several checkin sites to turn into art at their Bandon facility.

Due to its efforts, more than 5,000 pounds of debris will be kept from landfills and used for art projects.

“What was really interesting about this was the thoughtfulness of the comments,” Wyden said. “On the Oregon Coast, people really get the big picture.”

Wyden was joined by State Rep. David Gomberg as host in holding his 695th town hall meeting in Oregon. He helped ease citizens’ concerns about nuclear energy, among other things.

“The reality on nuclear energy are there be will be no nuclear energy plants built until somebody figures out a plan to deal with the waste,” he said.

ported the use of medical marijuana and said he anticipated that the division between federal and state laws on the issue would work themselves out.

Wyden also discussed forestry and the need for compromise between “people who want our forests vertical or horizontal.”

He said give-and-take on the issue was tantamount because no one will be completely satisfied with whatever proposal is made.

In regards to immigration and illegal residency, Wyden stressed enforcement at the border and stricter enforcement of the laws on the books. He suggested lawbreakers pay fines and back taxes owed

“We could also close the area to the public,” Cox said. “The repeated cliff carving and short cuts could eventually threaten homes anywhere along the ocean shore.”

“We are concerned that people could fall to the beach below,” he said.

Last year, state parks crews removed the center rail and put a vinyl coated chain link material along the Roads End State Park fence. Warning signs were placed at the fence to discourage people from going down the cliffs, and signs

were put up on the beach asking people not to climb or carve on the cliffs.

But Cox said the additional measures have been unsuccessful.

“We still see people marking the cliff,” he said.

“People don’t understand the erosion and the danger they are causing.”

State Park officials are considering other measures, such as adding more natural plants, to help deter climbing.

“In the end, we raised about $10,000 and all four of us agreed to take a pie in the face,” Tolan said. “We also received $550 from the doctors at North Samaritan Hospital to add to the money already raised.” Cahill was unable to be present at the rally, but sent a check in place of his attendance.

Hatton said getting hit in the face with a pie was all part of the effort for Family Promise.

“I’m proud to be a part of an event that raises awareness about the need to help homeless families in our community get back on track and have a place to be able to do so,” she said.

Anderson said getting hit in the face with a pie was a new experience.

“The real winner here was Family Promise,” he said.

Tolan said she appreciated Anderson’s involvement.

“Not a lot of elected officials would come and take a pie in the face from a bunch of students they don’t know, but you can see when community leaders do get involved, it inspires kids,” she said.

“Pies in the face inspire.”

Plan, which proposed the acquisition of Taft Community Park, with a dog park, two soccer fields, three multi-use baseball/softball fields and a Frisbee golf course.

“The site currently provides a soccer field, used by about 200 to 225 youth in two soccer leagues and adults who play in pickup games that the city will lose if the school sells it to another buyer,” Griffiths said.

“The city has wanted to buy that property for a long time,” Lincoln City Senior Planner Debra Martzahn said. “The City had made an offer in 2008, but both sides could not come to an agreement on price.”

“Since the city does not have any funds at this time to purchase the property, one of the conditions on

the city’s offer is that we are able to get a grant,” Griffiths said. “If we can acquire the site, Lincoln City intends to conduct a public process to refresh the priorities of the 2001 master plan, and then to make improvements as an anticipated large bequest, other donations and system development changes become available.”

City Manager David Hawker said no specific price for the property has been made public. Hawker also acknowledged the need for more City park space.

“We are unique in the fact that we have the beach and we have open spaces established throughout the City,” he said. “But our needs are clear. We do need more parks especially in the southern portion of the City.”

Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson, right, looks on.

Family Promise Interim Director Linda Roy said the combination of fundraisers and the pie event is heartwarming.

“This event brings us full circle and it connects us to the kids in our community,” she said.

The 4,000-square-foot Day Center at the former

Oregon Coast Community College and Taft Fire Hall building on S.E. 48th Street will be the hub that serves families that are experiencing or nearing homelessness. A “family” can consist of two adults with children, a single parent with children, grandparents who are

the legal guardian for children with the main criteria being having a child 18 or under.

The Williams family of Lincoln City essentially donated the vast majority of space in the building to Family Promise for $1 a month rent for 10 years to use as a daytime shelter.

Pfaff said the effort is to target niche markets and specific cultures and lifestyles, in addition to the general population.

“So much of our advertising, including TV, is in Spanish and Chinese,” she said.

“Research tells us you reach them better in their language, even if they are bilingual.

The Mexican-based Spanish population is the largest growing segment, and Travel Oregon is working on bringing the Chinese market here.

Our targets also include target Blacks, Generations X and Y, university students and teachers and people in Canada.”

The Bureau is also placing promotional efforts into growing meetings and group travel in conjunction with a handful of local lodging properties.

Lincoln City is also promoting to people with disabilities and to create assets that support what they need. The Bureau offers a wheelchair riders guide and is changing marketing to include Braille and closed-captioning.

“The City as a whole is developing a plan to improve its Americans With Disabilities Act compliance,” Pfaff said. “The Bureau is working to go beyond what is minimally required to try to create the best place on the Coast for people with disabilities to visit. It is the right thing to do.

“We need them badly,” she said. “Hiking and biking are enormous parts of tourism in Oregon and, frankly, we don’t have much and what we have with regard to biking is simply not safe.”

Olsen said he is hopeful early discussions in Depoe Bay will lead to the City again

offering rental homes to attract more visitors. The home rentals were banned in Depoe Bay several years ago.

“It would be much like the vacation rental dwellings in Lincoln City,” he said. “It would add additional revenue to the City, but we will have to figure out regulations and enforcement if we chose to pursue the rental housing idea.”

as far,” he said. “People from Portland, Salem and Eugene know it’s just a quick trip to the ocean. I am anticipating a pretty good summer.”

Depoe Bay City Council President Zeke Olsen, owner of Bonepile BBQ Restaurant in Depoe Bay, said the tourist economy is picking up this year.

“Our business has increased about 25 percent consistently since the recession, although this year it was a bit slower in late winter because of the snow and ice storms we had, which affected everyone,” he said. “But the trends I am seeing now indicate Depoe Bay will have a good spring and summer tourist season.”

Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau Director Sandy Pfaff said lodging has picked up since the recession. She said it has gone from $45.7 million in 2009, its recessionary low, to $52 million this past year in gross lodging sales. The gross sales were up 5.67 percent in 2013 and 5.88 percent in 2012, she said.

“So, just in lodging, they are spending more,” she said.

According to data from the Visitors Bureau, the average day-tripping tourist spends about $50. The average overnight tourist spends about $150. According to Pfaff, tourists spend approximately $211 million annually in the Lincoln City area.

The Bureau’s marketing includes television, social media, print and radio advertising, web advertising, Coast-wide or Central Coast co-ops in print and social media, direct mail, and editorial promotion. The bulk of the promotions are centered in the Pacific Northwest.

xcuse Taft High softball coach Dave Broderick if his heart leapt through his chest last January when junior Katie McCardell went down in a heap on the basketball court.

The 16-year-old McCardell is Broderick’s bread and butter, his all-league ace pitcher, a major player in his attempt at a league championship in his fifth and final year as head coach.

“Pitching will be the key to our success,” Broderick said.

Rewind to Jan. 2, then, when, in an otherwise nondescript nonconference home game against Reedsport, McCardell dislocated the left elbow on her pitching arm.

Dislodged with it could well have been Taft’s promising prospects for the upcoming softball season.

McCardell, a 5-foot-11-inch inside presence, would sit out the remainder of the basketball season, only to resurface in majestic fashion last week by pitching the Tigers to a 5-0 win over Willamina – a no-hit, shutout victory at home on opening day, no less.

“At the start, I was feeling pretty good,” McCardell said. “It was a little nerve-racking on how it would go, but once I got into it, I was feeling really good and I kept getting stronger and stronger as time went on.

Besides her current fad of “Malibu Barbie” pink nail polish, McCardell said she has few superstitions.

“I try to keep my mind completely clear of anything but the next pitch,” she said. “I mentally kept track and realized I was throwing a no-hitter. I couldn’t have done it without my teams’ defense, though.”

There was little commotion in the dugout, where Broderick couldn’t have started his final season much better.

“A no hitter speaks for itself,” he said.

McCardell struck out 13 and walked two in the nonleague opener against the Bulldogs of the Class 3A West Valley League, which Taft will join next season.

“It was very, very surprising,” McCardell, an aspiring dental hygienist, said. “It helped me recognize that after taking a super long break, I could still go. It’s like riding a bike. I still know how.”

Willamina’s starter was nearly as crafty, Broderick said, striking out 11 and forcing the Tigers to utilize their speed and baserunning to turn a spray-hitting attack into five runs.

“She threw the ball hard and gave us a lot of different looks,” he said. “However, we were able to get a few timely hits and get runners to the bases.”

Senior first baseman BillyAnn Stempel had three singles in four trips for the Tigers, while sophomore center fielder Kelsey Wilkinson went 2-for-4 with a single and double.

Senior outfielder Taylor Adams and senior shortstop Hanna Ray joined Stempel and Wilkinson by was good to see.” scoring runs for the Tigers.

McCardell again fanned 13 in an 11-0 two-hit road win As if the no-hitter wasn’t enough, McCardell answered the against the Cheesemakers on Tuesday. A game scheduled Thurscurtain call for an encore the following day – this time before a day, against Colton and another on Monday,, against Gervais were visiting audience. canceled.

“We had a lot of hard-hit balls throughout the game that Taft plays at home at 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, against Tillamook tracked down, and we had players reach on error and Marshfield, and is at a tournament Friday and Saturday in fielders’ choice plays. We spent a lot of time on the bases, which McLoughlin.

Tigers work on short game in opening match Stiff competition from experienced Portland-area schools on a familiar golf course were among the many obstacles confronting the Taft girls golf team in its opening match Monday,.

March 17, in Clackamas.

Taft placed last in the tournament on the executive layout at Sah-Ha-Lee Golf Course, which features holes ranging from 104 to 169 yards.

“It was a great opportunity for our team to practice match conditions on a par-3 course,” Taft coach Heather Hatton said. “I wanted my girls to play a course that wasn’t overly challenging, but would still test their skills and give them practice on their short game.”

Junior Rachael Adams led the Tigers with an 81, 27 over par on the tee-to-green layout. She was followed by sophomore Hayden Zumhofe, junior Zoe Teplick, senior Sam Raines and freshman Shelby Wright.

“Rachael is a strong iron player and has a good feel on her short game,” Hatton said.

The longtime Taft coach said early season play would be tantamount in building her team’s skills in quest of a return appearance at State.

“We were able to see exactly what we needed to work on and the following week of practice was all about the short game,:” she said. “We are already seeing results in the players’ confidence and seeing them post lower scores.”

Taft returns to action, Monday, March 31, at Salem Golf Club.

Taft High junior Randy Herndon pitches, hits and runs the Tigers to a 7-1 home victory Saturday morning over Toledo.

Upstart Tigers unbeaten in opening-week play JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

As a first-year head coach, Taft High’s Dusty Hankins couldn’t have asked for much more from his team’s play in a hectic week of season-opening baseball.

“I couldn’t be more pleased,˜ Hankins said Sunday after the Tigers plowed through their first week of play without a blemish on their record.

Well, sort of.

If a tie does indeed feel like kissing your sister, in baseball it’s even less thrilling. So went Taft’s 3-3 tie with Tillamook on Tuesday March 18, in a game called in extra innings due to darkness.

Before that, however, came a 10-0 victory in the home season opener Monday, March 17, against Willamina; 7-1 and 12-2 wins in a day-night doubleheader Saturday.

March 22, against Toledo and Gervais; and a

12-1 rout of Amity the following day. A home game scheduled Thursday against Siuslaw was canceled due to a lack of players for the Florence team.

“With our program at this time, and as early as it is, the guys have been responding to our coaching staff,” Hankins said. “With the way the community is behind us and supporting us, I couldn’t be happier at this stage.”

Senior Seth Steere and junior Grant Prins combined on a one-hitter to get the Tigers off and running in nonconference play in the opener against the Bulldogs.

Junior Joe Salsbery then started against the Cheesemakers with relief help from Steere and Prins as Taft got seven hits spread among seven players.

Brothers Henry and Pete Lahti were the batting stars of the 7-1 home victory Saturday morning against Toledo with three and two hits, respectively, while junior Randy Hern-

don got the win.

Sophomore center fielder Rylan Fisher had three hits, and Herndon, Steere and sophomores Cade Knott and Alroy Zacarias two each for the Tigers in the 10-run win over Gervais in the nightcap. Knott got the win with Prins and junior Charlie Zeller in relief.

Taft banged out 11 hits, including three from Henry Lahti and two each from Steere and Zacarias in Sunday’s 11-run, five-inning rout of Amity, with Steere and Zacarias teaming on the hill.

“Our pitching has been great,” Hankins said. “Steere has been our workhorse, and we finally got Randy back [sore back] and he pitched a great game against Toledo. The defense has been very solid and we’re getting great outfield play. We’re not afraid to pound the strike zone and let teams put the ball in play.”

Hankins is playing his team in various situations and positions in anticipation of the

start of Oregon West Conference play April 8 against Stayton.

“We’re trying to figure out our best spots for everybody, so we’re doing some experimenting, but it’s always nice to get the win, even in preseason,” he said. “We have such a versatile team. We have guys who play multiple positions, so finding out where they’re comfortable at is big. We want to get them comfortable with the whole field.”

The Tigers are also sizing the ball up well and squaring up at the plate, Hankins said.

“The guys are seeing the ball really well right now,” he said. “We’re making a lot of contact.”

The Tigers play Marshfield today, Wednesday, March 26, at home at 2 p.m. and are scheduled to meet Warrenton on the road Friday.

“We have one of the toughest leagues in the state, so we’re definitely using preseason to identify our best options,” Hankins said.

‘Magic Man’ to take center stage JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Danny Robertson’s love of magic and performing on stage started when he was 12 and living in San Diego.

“I had been begging my parents for a magic set and got one that year for Christmas,” he said. “I showed all my friends my magic tricks, and

eventually they began asking me to perform at birthday parties and other events. It just evolved from there.”

Robertson’s nickname, Dan the Magic Man, stuck with him when he moved to Oregon. He is active in local theater and events associated with the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Robertson has been part of the Center’s annual Festival of Illusions since it began four years ago.

“I enjoy the mystery of presenting something that is seemingly impossible,” he said. “I enjoy the light in peoples’ faces when they see something that they thought couldn’t be done. Performing gives me the pleasure of seeing people smile and their delight in the magic.”

But Robertson admits there are often skeptics in the audience.

“Some people want to find out

how I do it, they are the skeptical ones,” Robinson said. “Then there are the ones who love the story and the entertainment of magic, especially young children. They love to see something from their fantasy stories like a wizard or a sorcerer.”

Robertson came up with the idea of a community talent show to wrap

Chessman From page B1

Van Wert is a mixed media, including, but not limited to, found-object art, as well as paper layering; and Alice Martin is a photographer.

Each of these artists has exhibited extensively in the Northwest. They use color, texture, shape and form to make a statement in very different art mediums.

Van Wert has taken many art classes at the University of Oregon and the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology on the Oregon Coast. She retired and moved to Newport in 2004. In 2008, she helped found For Artsake Gallery, a co-op in Nye Beach, and is also an active member of the Oregon Coastal Arts Guild.

“Art expression is a way to communicate ideas and feelings that simmer in the subconscious until they’re set free in some sort of art form,” she said. “The creative process is the avenue for this expression to evolve into some sort of art outcome. I often use found materials that offer a sense of surprise or mystery.

I have a definite preference for abstract art as it is an acquired taste like fine wine.”

Jacobi creates with watercolor and mixed media. Often inspired by Oregon nature, she gravitates towards the shapes of salmon, birds, ferns and coastal landscapes. She paints because it activates creative endorphins – the time when an artist transfers energy to the medium.

“It is like playing in a sandbox of paints,” Jacobi said.

She loves watercolor for the luminosity and the surprises formed as pigments puddle into the paper. Her favorite tools are a handful of brushes for watercolor, and for mixed media, a nail and hand-made stencils.

Jacobi is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, Yaquina Arts Association and the Toledo Arts Guild.

She is also a poet and board member of Writers on the Edge.

Martin is new to photography, but not new to the world of art. She studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute, University of Alaska, Anchorage, and Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma Wash.

She is formerly a professional clay artist, private instructor and adjunct faculty member at the University of Alaska, Anchorage.

“I was eventually forced to find another form of expression other than clay,” she said. “I picked up the camera about two and a half years ago after buying a home in Newport and am thankful that I did. Now, I have devoted myself to an exciting new medium that fuels my unstoppable passion to create.”

The Oregon Coast Aquarium offers a variety of activities for all ages. Doors will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during spring break

Oregon Coast Aquarium extends hours The News Guard

The Oregon Coast Aquarium has expanded its hours to accommodate travelers who will visit the Coast over spring break. Doors are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through March 30.

Guests who wish to connect with the Aquarium’s animals may shake suckers with a giant Pacific octopus or share a whiskery smooch

with a seal or sea lion.

Animal encounters will be available most days, but fill quickly.

Those seeking indepth adventure may immerse themselves in Passages of the Deep while wrapped in the comfort of a dry suit. The Faceto-Face Snorkel Program gives visitors 8 and older the opportunity to swim in the Orford Reef and Halibut Flats exhibits, and peer into the shark-

infested waters of the Open Sea exhibit from an observation pool.

Aquarium-goers are encouraged to soak up spring with a stroll through the Aquarium Gardens. The sprawling naturescape features labeled native plants for viewers to brush up on their botany. Careful observers can spot local wildlife that choose to make the Gardens home.

tion about the Oregon Coast Aquarium, or to book tickets and special behind the-scenes experiences, call (541) 867-FISH or visit www. aquarium.org.

The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road in Newport.

up the Center’s Festival of Illusions this week. The event, called Main Stage Top 20 Talent Show, is sponsored by Beachtown Coffee and will showcase children who took part in this week’s magic workshops. The show is set for 7 p.m. Friday, March 28, at the Cultural Center.

“I have now come full circle,” he said. “I was the child that learned magic and now here I am the teacher of magic to children. My goal has always been to give children confidence in performance.”

By getting children on stage, Robertson said the experience offers each child the chance to gain confidence.

“If they are able to

their lives,” he said.

Auditions were held over the past few weeks.

Robertson said the lineup includes a wide

stand in front of people and do magic tricks, then they are able to have the confidence that they will need in other parts of

range of local folks who enjoy entertaining.

“The acts include a 70-year-old belly dancer, a 6-year-old interpretive dancer, jazz musicians and a female magician, which is rare,” he said.

Jorjan Plimmer is the only female magician in the show.

“I am a registered nurse and I got into magic as a way to teach health and make my presentations to children more effective,” she said.

“Magic is a way to keep their attention.”

Thirteen-year-old Lincoln City resident Cody Tougas said the talent show is a way for him to jumpstart his career as an electric guitar player.

“I’ve been playing the guitar for a long time

and I’ve been trying to get noticed,” he said. “We saw the sign to audition outside the Cultural Center and I decided to do this.”

Robertson said he is already planning the second Top 20 Talent Show for next spring.

“We are really hoping that this will be an annual event where people will plan to come to Lincoln City to see the talent show and spend their money at our restaurants, our shops and stay at our hotels and motels,” he said.

For more information, call Robertson, at 541-6140193. Advance tickets are $6 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under. Prices increase $1 at the door.

Proceeds will benefit the Center’s main stage maintenance fund.
