ndependence Day, falling on a Thursday, kind of four-thed us over this year.
Regular readers have come to know that they can begin to look on Wednesday for a paper that does not “officially” come out until Friday, as that is how we plan the timing of our stories and calendar listings. So a major holiday on a Thursday? It’s not ideal.
In our calendar you will find our listings for all the parades and fireworks displays that we could find, But Linda Griepentrog’s lovely coverage of the (finally) returning Gleneden Beach Parade, or Chelsea Yarnell’s rundown of the ridiculously cute Firecracker Nationals wiener dog races?
To avoid having those stories be missed by people that arrive in town and find empty racks, we are running those stories next week in a “special” edition of the Oregon Coast TODAY.
By that time, Publisher Patrick will be back in town, an occasion for which I would jump for joy if I could only get the kind of clearance Assistant Editor Anevay got on a recent trip to the beach.

Show your colors as Lincoln City celebrates Pride month
The Lincoln City Cultural Center is unveiling a fabulous lineup of events and activities that celebrate LGBTQ+ culture and community at Lincoln City Pride Fest, this Saturday, June 29.
The schedule of family-friendly festivities includes performances, both indoors and outdoors, showcasing the talent of local artists and those closely connected to the Lincoln City community.
“LC Pride Fest is a celebration of Lincoln City’s queer community, because we deserve it,” organizer Zoe Vincent said. “It’s my hope that this festival becomes an unforgettable day full of queer joy, resilience and love. Please join us to support our small but mighty town’s LGBTQ+ community. It’ll be all kinds of fun!”
The indoor entertainment in the auditorium will spotlight drag performers, with pianist Sweeney Gray kicking off the festivities, followed by the dynamic lip-syncing numbers of drag queen sister duo Mai Faye Rit and Lexi Vaughn. Then, prepare to be captivated by Portland-based drag artists Max Little, Mars, Given and The Infinite Urkscape.
Outdoors, the entertainment will begin with Conexión Fénix ballet folklórico dancers taking the stage, followed by the enchanting moves of the Hokus Pokie dance crew. Local singer-songwriter Kathy Redwine will next hit the stage, followed by the modern alt-rock sounds of Katelyn Convery. Then, experience the melodies of solo violinist Miss Robbie Dee, hailing from Florence. Finally, the day will close with a heartwarming performance by Lincoln City’s very own acoustic duo of wives, Alanna and Catherine Baumann.
Highlighting the festivities is the Pedestrian Pride Parade on the Poetry Path, where all are invited to don their most fabulous attire and join the promenade around the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s grounds in celebration of queer love and joy.
Enjoy a glass of beer and a cup of chowder at Zeller’s Bar and Grill’s beer garden, and satisfy further cravings with food vendors including Bobablastic, Grub’s On and La Wawa.
The outdoor resource and vendor fair will take place for the duration of the event and showcase more than 30 booths highlighting local and regional organizations and vendors offering a variety of goods and educational materials.
Indoors, attendees can unleash their creativity with art activities, sponsored by Tah-Lume Curiosities and Gifts, in the Dance Studio. Discover your inner royalty by making a paper crown and contribute to a commemorative community art journal.
For those seeking a moment of tranquility, a quiet room in the yoga studio will provide a safe space to slow down for a moment. New Moon Yoga teachers will also guide peaceful meditations – the schedule will be posted on the studio door during the event.
Lincoln City Pride runs from noon to 5 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org or call 541-9949994.

Trip out on some vintage film artsy
The upstairs gallery at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum has been transformed into a mini movie theater showing “Detours: Road Trips Through the Pacific Northwest,” a 21-minute loop of home movie footage shot on the Oregon Coast in the 1960s and 1970s.
The reel is edited together out of recently completed digital transfers of 8mm celluloid films that have been in storage for many years. These one-of-a-kind physical films show some of the first moving images of the Oregon Coast.
Since late 2021, museum staff have been carefully inspecting, cleaning and repairing more than 15,000 feet of 8mm and 16mm films and preparing them for archival storage. While going through them, they discovered promotional films advertising the Oregon Coast and hours of home movies filmed by local residents of their road trips, family gatherings and local events such as Fleet of Flowers.
A grant from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund made it possible to digitize the films and make them accessible to the world.
The clips included in the reel were shot up and down the Pacific coast from Vancouver BC, to Monterey, California. You will see Oregon Coast landmarks, tourist destinations, dirt highways, families playing on the beach and many other sights – some still familiar today, and some that are clearly historical.
This is the first time this small selection of rare films have been able to be viewed, and plans are in place to integrate additional portions of the footage into exhibits, provide the reels for researchers and make selections available online.
“Detours” will be shown through the end of the year at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, located 4907 SW Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City and open 11 am to 4 pm, Wednesday through Saturday. For more information, go to northlincolncountyhistoricalmuseum.org or call 541-996-6614.
Art on a pedal-stal
The Bead Chica will headline a Pedestal Show of local artists at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, opening Saturday, June 29 and running through July 12.
“I live in an amazing place where every day I have the privilege of watching the ocean glisten, sparkle and change into many colors,”
Newport resident and jewelry artist Linda Cline said. “The variety of colors in nature is the canvas whereby I create sparkling jewelry.”
Cline’s business of 22 years is The Bead Chicas. She uses high quality materials including Swarovski crystals, gemstones and glass and 14k gold filled, sterling silver, pewter and brass findings to create her earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
“Customer satisfaction is my number one goal and I have many repeat customers who love my creations,” she said.
The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive and is open daily from 11 am to 4 pm. For more information, go to yaquinaart.org.

So many sites to sea
on the Art on the Edge Tour
By Eliot Sekuler FOr the tODaY
The magnetic pull of the coastline has drawn artists to the shore in every era. From the painters of the Flemish Renaissance gazing out on the North Sea to the abstract expressionist masters hunkered down in eastern Long Island, the sea’s visual rhythms and shimmering light have beckoned to artists working in every medium. Unsurprisingly, the Oregon Coast has benefited from that appeal, drawing an outsized population of artists and crafters.
About 35 of those Oregon Coast artists will be spotlighted as part of this year’s three-day Art On The Edge Studio Tour, Friday through Sunday, June 28 through 30.
For Krista Eddy, visual arts director at the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the tour’s organizer, the lure of the coast has provided a bountiful pool of artists to showcase for her annual event.
By Joanne Daschel
“Creative-minded people gravitate here because it’s so beautiful,” she said. “We’re lucky to have a rich artists’ community and a great deal of quality work we can exhibit.”
This is the seventh year that the tour has been presented. In 2023, the tour sprawled from South Beach and Toledo to Neskowin, and many tour-goers found the distance to be daunting. This year’s tour, again presented free of charge, has been condensed to a 20-mile route stretching from Depoe Bay to just north of Cascade Head.
There are 16 locations along this year’s tour and all but one of the featured artists have participated in previous ones. Examples of all participating artists’ work are currently on view at the Cultural Center’s Chessman Gallery and represent a wide range of media, including painting in oils, acrylics and watercolor, mixed media, oil and cold wax, metal sculpture and casting, driftwood furniture, handmade jewelry, fused glass, glass blowing, clay and ceramic art, photography, weaving, mosaic, reclaimed assemblage art and fabric arts.
Despite the many differences, the viewer can find a connective thread in the artists and their work.
“Even though there’s a great variety of media and styles, I think there’s an undercurrent of love for the natural world shared by the majority of our local artists,” Eddy said. “You can see the beauty of where we live coming through their work.”
One long-standing hallmark of the tour has been its interactivity. At many of the tour’s locations, artists will be demonstrating their creative processes. The Cultural Center will serve as a hub for the three-day event within its galleries and several “pop-up studios.” Visitors may learn
about ceramics from artists Rabun Thompson and Pam Young and other ceramicists working at the center’s clay studio. Across the hall, Sharon Cook, Lynne Wintermute and Kay Pendleton will present their work in oil and cold wax painting and demonstrate the technique involved in that medium. Joanne Daschel will offer information on the art of mosaic. Upstairs, Karen Gelbard’s hand woven wearable art will be on sale in Margaret’s Meeting Room, while Jane Wilson’s fiber/ gourd art will be on view in the Fiber Arts Studio.
Photographer Bob Gibson, a perennial studio tour participant, will be offering a three-part photography workshop at his studio in Lincoln City’s Taft district.
“I’ve been involved with the studio tour since Krista started it and initially, I opened the studio as a gallery and explained the stories behind the photographs to visitors,” he said. “It was good, but it seemed like there needed to be something else. So now, I schedule a still life photo shoot at 11 am on each day. I show people how to set up lights and explain the elements of photography. At 1 pm, I’ll set up a computer with a large screen and process the photos in Lightroom and Photoshop. And at 4 pm, I print. Often, visitors are interested in the post-processing, because they’re trying to do it themselves. And a lot of people want to learn about using a lighting setup with their iPhone.”
The newest face on the tour is Crimea-born painter Natasha Ramras, who was quick to adopt the tour’s interactive spirit.
“I plan to do a quick demonstration at 10 or 11 am on each of the three days,” said Ramras, who works in oils, watercolors, pastels and linocut prints at her home studio at the north end of Lincoln City. She paints in both representational and abstract styles, but many of her paintings feature depictions of the sights to be seen along the Oregon Coast.
“I love the Oregon Coast and I paint it all the time,” she said. “Nature has so much grandeur here, such a great variety of environments: the dunes, marshes, the wild waves of the ocean. You can have such a great diversity of visual experiences without traveling very far.”
The self-guided Art on the Edge Studio Tour will be open from 11 am to 5 pm at 16 locations. Maps and a survey of the work of all participating artists can be found at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Highway 101. For more information, go to artstudiotourLCCC.com or call 541994-9994.

coast culture Head to Otis for a great party
You may think reaching the age of fifty is no great shakes. But for a protected research area, it’s a very big deal.
Join with the Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative and the US Forest Service to celebrate as the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area approaches five decades of environmental stewardship and sensitive human use at the Cascade Head Experimental Forest Headquarters this Saturday, June 29.
The event, the first of two, will feature speakers, a short film, music and food, with many opportunities to learn more about CHSRA’s legacy of balancing cultural, environmental, scientific and recreational activities.
Established by President Ford on December 22, 1974, the research area, located along the central Oregon Coast between Lincoln City and Neskowin, stands as a beacon of environmental protection and scientific exploration.
Spanning 9,670 acres of pristine landscapes, it was
the first non-wilderness land in the US designated by Congress for its scenic, ecological and scientific values. Over the years, it has served as a model for similar protected areas across the nation, including the Mono Basin and the Columbia River Gorge. Home to diverse ecosystems, including meadows, estuaries and forests, it provides critical habitat for native flora and fauna, including the rare Oregon Silverspot butterfly. Its significance as a research site for Sitka spruce and Western hemlock forests is internationally recognized.
The second event, the town hall and information sharing event “What Does CHSRA mean to me?” will happen on Aug. 14 at the Otis Fire Hall from 6 to 8 pm.
The June 29 50th anniversary event is from 11 am to 2 pm at the USFS Experimental Forest headquarters on Old Scenic Hwy 101, 2.5 miles north of Otis (look for signs on the road). For more information, go to cascadehead.org.

Create your own temporary masterpiece at the Chalk the Block event on Toledo’s Main Street this Saturday, June 29.
Open to all ages and skill levels, the event is the perfect summer activity for the whole family.
“I am always amazed at the level of artistic talent right here in our neck of the woods,” Toledo Mayor Rod Cross said. “Our youth and families get to showcase their abilities for the benefit of the community, and our level of participation is outstanding!”
Each person will be given a sidewalk panel to decorate with their original chalk art. Panels at table height will be available for those who do not wish to bend over the sidewalk. If you’re in it to win it, up your chalk art game for a chance at a cash prize. Judges will award prizes to first and second place winners in age categories of up to 11, 12 to 18 and group/family.
The event is courtesy of The ART Toledo
Committee, working since 2021 to create a thriving cultural district and celebrate the city’s industry, history and creativity. The fun starts at 9 am at Toledo City Hall. For more information go to arttoledo.com.
We’re
touched
We see them on the streets and often require their services – now you get to climb on them and even honk a horn or two at Newport’s annual Touch a Truck event this Friday, June 28.
The event is for truck enthusiasts big and small who wish to explore and get an up close look at the vehicles used by the City of Newport’s police, fire, parks and public works departments, the Oregon National Guard, Rowley’s Towing, First Student buses and US Coast Guard. Food for purchase will be available from Bristo’s Place food truck.
“This is Touch a Truck’s fourth year and it only continues to grow,” Recreation Program Specialist Jenni Remillard said. “This event gives not only the City, but also community partners a chance to meet with the public and let kids and adults explore vehicles they don’t usually get a chance to see up close. And our staff love the chance to interact with the kids!”
Kids will have the opportunity to sit inside vehicles and try out their sirens and horns.
A popular returning vehicle is the City’s Vacuum Truck, with a pressure hose which staff can show kids how to use to try and knock down some traffic cones.
Those who do not wish to be present for the loud noises can participate in the siren-free last half hour of the event.
“This event is such a great way for us to positively connect with our customers!” Aimee Thompson, public information and education manager of Thompson’s Sanitary Service said. “We’re a part of many kids’ weekly routines because they either greet or watch us from their house every week, and this gives them a chance to meet a driver and discover our collection truck in a safe and fun manner.”
Touch a Truck will go from 3 to 5:30 pm in the parking lot of the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street. For more information, go to the City of Newport Parks and Recreation page on Facebook.

Sign up for a community education class today
This Summer, Oregon Coast Community College’s community education lineup runs across time (and tortured rhymes) with classes featuring Layers, Lairs and Players. The non-credit workshop lineup for the summer term is the leanest of the year, as attendance is traditionally far lighter than during the school year, but what this lineup lacks in sheer numbers, it more than makes up for in variety and content.
Layers
First, there’s “The Geology of Roads End,” a one-session workshop designed to help teach participants how to “read the rocks” at this beautiful Central Coast destination. Every attendee will receive a field trip guide so that they may visit Roads End on their own schedule and experience the geology firsthand.
The class is led by Lincoln County native Margery Price, who will complete her Master’s degree in Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon this Winter. The course is $20 and runs from 2 to 4:30 pm on Thursday, July 11, at the North County Center in Lincoln City.
Lairs
Next up are two sessions led by Jake Holshue, an introduction and a deeper dive into one of the most iconic of all table-top roleplaying games – Dungeons & Dragons. Originally created in the 1970s, it is a game that generations of enthusiasts have enjoyed.
Now in its 5th Edition, the game is seeing a rise in popularity.
The 10-session introductory course will explore the rich history of DnD, the evolution of tabletop role-playing games, game mechanics, Lore 101 and, of course, the playing of a game or two.
Class will be held from 4 to 5:45 pm Mondays and Wednesdays, July 8 through Aug. 7, at the Central County Campus in Newport. The cost is $75.
Those who have played the game before, or have previously taken D&D 101 at the college, may be ready for Dungeons & Dragons 202: a more comprehensive dive where the first class is a character-sheet creation. From that point, the group will delve into an adventure about which the bards will sing tales for generations. D&D 202 will be held from 4 to 5:45 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, July 9 to Aug. 8, at the Central County Campus in Newport. The cost is $75.
Players
The final offering in the summer Community Education Lineup is Improv Comedy. In this program, taught by members of the Porthole Players Theatre Company, participants will learn to improve their stage wit and wisdom. The class will include elements of movement, accent work, sketch writing, content editing, prop mastery, scene work and general fearlessness on stage or wherever fun times are to be had.
The class will use theater games, work groups and real-time evaluation to help attendees refine their skills as comedy writers and actors. All ages are welcome.
Led by Sean Orton, the eight-session class will be held from 4 to 5 pm on Thursdays, July 11 to Aug. 22 at the OCCC Central County Campus in Newport. The cost is $15.

Jamaican composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Clinton Fearon will bring his acoustic solo reggae show to the Beach Club & Events Center in Lincoln City this Sunday, June 30.
A professional since the age of 19, Fearon was born in Jamaica and became the bassist, vocalist and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, and a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee “Scratch” Perry at Black Ark, then two of the main producers on the island. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo and Junior Byles.
“My music is roots reggae from the island of Jamaica,” Fearon said. “I grew up deep in the hills, up in St. Catherine, surrounded by nature, beauty and hard work. Even as a child, I knew I wanted to be a musician and began my career singing in church and at school, and eventually built my own guitar. As a teenager, my journeys took me to Kingston where I met many

After leaving Jamaica 1987, Fearon started a new career in Seattle. With other musicians of the Gladiators, he founded The Defenders. The band built a nice following in the Northwest, but after five years the band split and Fearon formed the Boogie Brown Band with local musicians.
