O

ne day many years ago, I was walking in the Cutler City Open Space and almost literally ran into a woman with wild hair barely contained under a hat festooned with mushroom pins, wearing a thick terry cloth bathrobe and outdoor slippers.

When she saw the look on my face she quickly assured me she was “not a crazy person” and was just out on the trails behind her home, spreading mushroom spores.

I had just met Freda Holloran, the person behind the formation of the Lincoln County Mycological Society.

My interest in mushrooms still blooming at the time, her friendship and gifts of books and articles over the years help it form more fully.

When it became time to pass on my limited-but-secure knowledge of a few local edible mushrooms, we took niece Anevay out to collect chanterelles. That night, she got to make her own pizza from scratch and ate almost the whole personal pie.

Her mother, excited that her daughter now likes mushrooms, ordered them the next time they went out for pizza.

But the little one took one bite then spat it out, declaring, “These ones taste gross.” I couldn’t agree more.

Fan your flame for foraged fungi at the Lincoln County Mycological Society Show, happening this Saturday at the Depoe Bay Community Center. Read more on page 16.

Hear the pluck of the Irish and the Scots, Bretons and more as the coast goes Celtic

By Barbara B. Covell

I

For the TODAY

t’s a world-class festival of all things Celtic, featuring international musicians, food, vendors and an audience of dedicated fans. The Yachats Celtic Music Festival once again transforms the idyllic village by the sea into a magical weekend of entertainment with some of the best names in traditional and not-sotraditional Celtic-inspired music this Friday through Sunday, Nov. 10 through 12.

“This year’s lineup is phenomenal,” Music Director Stephen Farish said. “We are so lucky to have this quality of artistry here.

Their combined experiences, years and maturity are something to appreciate. If you know Celtic music and look at our roster, it’s amazing.”

Indeed, it is amazing. And if you aren’t familiar with the many variations of the Celtic scene, it’s a sure thing you’ll develop an appreciation for the music, culture and depth of talent.

The weekend is loaded with entertainment at multiple

venues, from the Yachats Commons stage to the Presbyterian Church as well as outdoors at the Yachats State Park. While tickets to some of the main shows and the weekend passes are already sold out, there are many free events and shows still available.

So, how did Farish manage to bring such accomplished musicians to Yachats?

“Maybe I have the audacity to ask,” he said.

“We are grateful that all of them are coming and playing at the same show. The Celtic groups have a family connection and they enjoy playing their music around the world.

They come because they are among friends.

Maybe we are building a reputation for outstanding shows here in Yachats. We are fortunate to be on the Oregon Coast. That’s a big thing going in our favor.”

The festival kicks off with a free event on Friday at noon in the Yachats Commons multipurpose room. Farish says it will be a “slow start” and an introduction to the different variations of Celtic music.

It will feature a jam or extended session of music as musicians from different bands play on stage together.

4 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • Nov. 10, 2023

Saturday morning’s free event is an Irish breakfast concert featuring three bands for two hours of Celtic music. Another free Celtic music event follows at 4 pm.

Both Friday and Saturday see the return of Kevin Carr playing bagpipes as the “Piper on the Point” at 4:30 pm in Yachats State Park. This is a free event which will delight the family as dusk settles over the Pacific.

Also on Friday and Saturday are more “free flow” concerts at the Yachats Presbyterian Church. These events, at 1 and 5 pm on Friday and noon and 4 pm on Saturday, are much more intimate, with musicians performing less structured sets.

On Sunday at 10 am is a free event featuring various musicians playing Celtic music and Ceili dance instruction and subsequent open floor dancing with Biddy on the Bench. The ticketed concert follows at 2 pm with On the Lash and 2:30 pm with Dervish, who close the show.

Lastly, there are three Whistle Workshops on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as a hands-on Celtic Harp instruction, offered twice on Saturday.

For more information on these workshops and a copy of the Yachats Celtic Music Festival events schedule, go to yachatscelticmusicfestival.org.

An artist signs off Cloverdale’s Thomas Goodwin Gallery beckons to collectors Story and photos by Eliot Sekuler

B

For the TODAY

ut for the stacks of canvases leaning against the walls, the shop seems more like a living room or a cozy den than a formal gallery. The setting suggests that it’s okay to slip off your boots, sink your toes into the plush oriental carpets and sprawl upon one of the stuffed chairs or sofas. It’s a place designed for sipping a hot drink and enjoying some easy conversation while admiring the art that lines the wood-paneled walls.

The paintings, varying in size from 10”x12” to large, 48”x84” pieces, are the work of the gallery’s owner, Tom Goodwin, a prolific artist who currently has about 90 canvases on hand. The paintings, created with Golden acrylics on pure cotton canvas, are mostly abstract works, some with subtle figurative elements, with a very broad range of palette. Goodwin’s admiration for such modern masters as Kandinsky, DeKooning and Hans Hoffman is reflected in the expressiveness of his brushstrokes and the sensual play of line and color that brings each piece to life.

Asked how he hopes that viewers see his paintings, Goodwin said “I’d like them to be intrigued, to find both humor and beauty in the work and not so much trying to figure it out.

When people look at my paintings, I’d like them to just let their hearts and brain go where they choose.”

Goodwin can be considered a life-long artist.

“I’ve been a painter since I was very young,” he said, “and I was always looking for a way to support myself with painting.

To pay my bills, I built a career in Portland real estate, but I kept painting all the time.”

Almost 25 years ago, Goodwin bought a home high above

the coastline in the Neskowin area with a sweeping ocean view and built a studio on his grounds. He was still looking for a way to sell his work.

“And then I was driving through Cloverdale on my way to Tillamook and I saw this community that was becoming like a ghost town,” he said. “I saw buildings that had a lot of character, but weren’t being maintained. Some of them were vacant. I was attracted to the opportunity of rehabbing the town.”

Goodwin purchased a property known as the Closet Door Boutique in 2012 and performed extensive renovations before selling it to another artist, Marilyn Burkhardt, who still operates her Burkhardt Gallery in that space. He bought another property across the street, performed another renovation, and eventually settled into his third and final gallery space, which he now plans to close at the end of this year.

As he prepares to close his gallery, the artist has priced his work very affordably, with pieces offered in a range from $50 all the way up to $1,500 for the very largest canvases. Some of the work dates back to his most prolific period, during the COVID lockdown, when there wasn’t much to do aside from furiously turning out new paintings.

“The gallery had become very busy,” he said. “Then COVID came and for two years, nobody was coming in. It gave me a lot of time to paint.”

Although the collection of paintings are the principal offering at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery, other items are distributed throughout the space, many of them treasures from Goodwin’s extensive travels.

“There’s a Balinese barong mask, some excellent Maasai beadwork from Kenya, baskets from various countries and

86 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • Nov. 10, 2023

slippers from indigenous Alaskans,” he said. “There are a lot of very cool things in this collection.”

In the decade since he opened his first space there, Goodwin has been highly immersed in the Cloverdale community, helping to organize annual grass-roots Cruise-In car events and contributing to the town’s annual “Clover’s Day” civic celebrations.

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery has also acted as a cultural hub for the area, hosting musical gatherings, poetry readings, exhibits from other artists and one-off events such as a presentation and lecture on the Four Noble Truths by traveling Tibetan monks.

A piano, along with guitars and other instruments, are strategically placed throughout the gallery.

“People from all over the world come through the door and some play musical instruments,” Goodwin said. “They all have stories to tell. The social aspect of this gallery has been very important. And very time-consuming.”

When the gallery finally closes, Goodwin intends to spend more time painting at the studio on his home property. An avid car enthusiast, he’ll work on his vintage 1936 Studebaker, his prized 1955 MG, a 1965 Chevy2 station wagon and other vehicles in his collection. And he expects to maintain some involvement in the Cloverdale community that he has helped to revitalize.

“I’ll support Cloverdale in any way I can,” he said. “I’ll miss it, but I won’t be far away.”

The Thomas Goodwin Gallery is located at 34380 Hwy. 101 in Cloverdale. Hours are Friday through Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm. For more information and special appointments, call 503-3298345.

Birding on the river As fall grows cooler, birding gets better.

Test this theory and explore the mouth of the Salmon River with members of the Audubon Society of Lincoln City this Saturday, Nov. 11.

The two-hour walk starts at Knight Park in the Cascade Head Scenic Area and wanders through woodlands, marshlands and along the Salmon River.

The group will keep an eye out for grebes, gulls, cormorants, waterfowl and raptors. This is a great opportunity to learn more about protected estuarine habitats and the birds and

other wildlife that depend on them.

All the group’s bird walks are free, family-friendly, easy to moderately easy and no pre-registration or experience is required. Binoculars and guidebooks are provided. Walks are held rain or shine; dress appropriately for coastal weather and muddy trails.

The walk will start at 9 am in the Knight Park parking lot at the end of Three Rocks Road. For more information, go to lincolncityaudubon.org.

Wat-er fascinating topic!

Lots of big words will be tossed around when Professor Younes Alila gives her Zoom presentation on Wednesday, Nov. 15, but the gist will be the effects of water on coastal forests.

Alila is Professor of Hydrology and Watershed Management at the University of British Columbia’s Forest Resources Management Department.

Her presentation, “Forests and Water: New Science for a Changing Climate,” is coordinated by the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection in collaboration with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust and the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance.

Using published peer-reviewed case studies,

Alila will illustrate how the old framework for understanding forest hydrology continues to misguide forest management worldwide. This outdated model dramatically underestimates the effects of all landscape operations. Alila offers a new, holistic approach that will more accurately assess hydrologic and geomorphic risks caused by forest management practices, such as clearcutting. Some of these risks include floods, droughts, landslides and wildfires.

The talk will be moderated by Dr. Jacqueline Stoeckler of the West Kootenay Watershed Collaborative and will conclude with a question-and-answer period.

The talk begins at 7:30 pm. For more information and the registration link, go to healthywatershed.org.

step-by-step, charts showing various mushroom and fungi types, alongside clippings on the mycological society’s history.

“The main narrative for this show is that this is coming back to our roots,” Mikich said. “It’s just really focused on education and fun.”

The show includes a special Children’s Area with pages of mushroom drawings to color, and an area where adults and children can learn to do spore prints, a colorful and fun technique that is an essential tool for mushroom identification.

For sale will be a number of the best and latest mushroom identification books for the region; wild mushroom cookbooks full of delicious recipes; and “fungi best-sellers” like Merlin Sheldrake’s “Entangled Life.” There will also be a selection of mushroom knives especially designed for harvest of wild mushrooms.

At roughly 10 am, a free, short foray will take visitors out to a nearby location to hunt for mushrooms, which will be brought back for identification and added to the display tables.

“If we get lots of people that want to go on the walk we will likely add more society members so that we can accommodate as many people as possible,” Mikich said. “But it’s still a good idea to sign up in advance.”

To register for the foray, email lcmycosociety@gmail.com or call 530-748-9365. The show and foray are free and everyone is welcome, regardless of age or mushrooming experience.

The Mushroom Show runs from 9 am to 4 pm at the Depoe Bay Community Center, located at 220 SE Bay Street.

Simply the fest Newport’s Autumn Fest Art Show is back and almost getting too big for its britches.

With more than 80 artists taking part, the Newport Recreation Center will be bursting at the seams with art of all kinds this Saturday, Nov 11.

“This is one of our biggest events,” Recreation Program Specialist Jenni Remillard said. “Last year we expanded into the small gym, this year we are expanding into a third room due to demand.”

Variety is the name of the game at this jampacked sale.

“The thing I love about this show is there’s something for everyone,” Remillard said. “We have everything from fine art to crafty things and stickers.”

There will also be a free Kids’ Corner in case parents want to drop off their little ones while they check out the show. Kids aged five through 12 can play in the Child Center with the School’s Out Recreation Leaders.

The show runs from 10 am to 4 pm at the Newport Recreation Center, 225 SE Avery Street.

A fair offer Would you like a new job, a new volunteer opportunity or a $25 gift card for a local supermarket? Do you have a few hours every week that you would like to fill with meaningful work or volunteer service? If so, come visit the Newport 60+ Activity Center’s Volunteer and Job Fair and Vaccination Clinic on Tuesday, Nov. 14.

Along with about a dozen organizations in attendance, Lincoln County Public Health will be onsite to provide flu vaccinations. Anyone receiving a vaccine will receive a $25 gift card, with multiple stores to select from based on availability. The vaccination clinic is walk-in only, no reservations required, but you must bring your insurance card.

Organizations in attendance are specifically interested in hiring people who have spare time and are looking to either earn a few dollars or donate their time to a good cause. Most opportunities offer a social aspect as an important portion of the work. Employers will be on hand to discuss their opportunities, answer questions and even accept applications.

All are welcome to attend, regardless of age.

The fair runs from 1 to 4 pm at the Newport 60+ Activity Center, 20 SE 2nd Street. For more information, go to newportoregon.gov/sc or call 541-265-9617.

Foster some appreciation Did you know that roughly 80 children are currently being fostered in more than 50 homes throughout Lincoln County? Would you like to learn how you can help these children and their foster families?

At the Newport 60+ Activity Center on Monday, Nov. 13, William Boldt, child welfare supervisor for the Lincoln County branch of the Oregon Department of Human Services, will provide information about the Lincoln County foster care program and ways that you can help.

Learn about the current state of Lincoln County’s foster care system, what foster parents do and why they need support. Perhaps you can take on a mentoring role with a child, offer a respite break for the foster family or even just donate items in need. There are many ways to help, but the first, and easiest, is to learn about the system, how it works and what the current needs are.

The presentation begins at 2 pm at the Newport 60+ Activity Center, 20 SE 2nd Street. For more information, go to newportoregon.gov/sc or call 541-265-9617.

Light up a Life During the winter holidays, Samaritan Evergreen Hospice has historically hosted a celebration called Light up a Life in Lincoln City, Newport and Lebanon. This annual event brings people together to remember loved ones who have died and to support hospice patients and their families.

This year’s event will offer both in-person and virtual participation options. For those wishing to attend in person and pay tribute to their loved ones, remembrances will be held at Newport’s Center for Health Education at 6 pm on Friday, Nov. 10.

Beginning Friday, Nov. 17, participants can also join a virtual remembrance of a loved one. Viewers will be able to customize their experience by clicking through reflections from hospice chaplains, a memorial slideshow of hospice patients and a candle-lighting video.

“The holiday season can be difficult when grieving a loss,” said Cindy Thelen, bereavement coordinator at Evergreen Hospice House in Albany. “With comfort and end-of-

life care being amongst the most essential services, our Evergreen Hospice philosophy affirms life and supports the dying and grieving processes. Our autumn Light up a Life ceremonies, both in person and virtual, are moving occasions to pause and comfort each other, share the journey of loss, grief, love and healing, as well as mourn those who have gone before us. The virtual event link will be live for up to a year, so the ceremony can be shared at gatherings such as Thanksgiving or during a springtime visit from a friend.”

Although Light up a Life focuses on Samaritan Evergreen Hospice patients who have died during the previous year, it is also open to community members who wish to donate in someone’s memory. Visit samhealth. org/LUAL, select the hospital foundation you would like to support and complete the donation form to make your gift in memory of someone special.

For more information, email SHSFoundations@ samhealth.org, go to samhealth.org/LUAL2023 or call 844-768-4256.

Take a bow in ‘Fiddler’

Reflecting on an artistic career The speaker who will spill the tea at Newport’s next Tea & Talk on Thursday, Nov. 16, is one of the artists in the current “Varied Perspectives” show at the Newport Visual Arts Center.

Judith Toler, who prefers to go by Jude, is originally from Portsmouth on the south coast of England.

“The need to be creative has forever been a part of my life,” she said. “My grandfather was an important early influence, a talented amateur watercolor painter, he always encouraged me in my goal of someday attending art college.”

While pursuing a degree in textile design, Toler won several awards, including first and second place awards from the British Textile Institute and a National Carpet Design travel scholarship.

After graduating, she became a designer for a fashion house in London and later a carpet designer in Wales.

“The lack of time for my own art led me, on a whim, to the travel industry as a seasonal tour director during the summer, working all over Europe which financed my wintertime art activities,” she said. “This work also gave me access

to the great cultural centers of the art world.”

During a short vacation in Hawaii, Toler met the man who would become her husband. Their son was born on Maui the following year.

The family moved to 30 acres in rural Oregon in 1985 and created a small business making handmade ceramic tile that they initially sold at the Eugene Saturday Market and later at art shows all over the west.

A chance encounter led to a couple of week-long workshops with master silk painter Karen Sistek.

“It was a revelation,” Toler said. “I found that using dyes on silk is captivating, the intensity of color enhanced by the luster and sheen of the silk.”

In her talk, Toler will cover a little history of silk painting, give details of how she works and provide a list of resources.

Tea and Talk events, organized by Coastal Arts Guild, are informal afternoon gatherings for anyone curious about art and artists.

The talk begins at 2 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, located at 777 NW Beach Drive. For more Information, call 541-574-3364.

If you were a rich man, would you spend your time trying new things like performing in a musical?

Now’s your chance to be in one of the world’s most beloved musical productions, “Fiddler on The Roof ” directed by Jason Holland with musical direction by Milo Graamans.

Auditions are at the Newport Performing Arts Center this Saturday, Nov. 11, at 1 pm, or next Sunday, Nov. 19, at 6 pm.

A co-production of the Red Octopus Theatre Company and the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, “Fiddler on the Roof ” is based Jason Holland on the world-famous stories of Sholem Aleichem and features a wealth of unforgettable musical numbers such as “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Tradition,” “Matchmaker,” “Sunrise, Sunset” and “Miracle of Miracles.” Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this timeless story is the brainchild of Broadway legends Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince, songwriters Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick and book writer Joseph Stein.

While Holland, who serves as executive director for the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, has helmed many productions over the years, Fiddler will mark his directing debut in Oregon. Music director and Red Octopus Board Member Graamans, on the other hand, has guided many local productions over the years. But this will be his first time collaborating with Holland.

“At this precise moment in history, ‘Fiddler on the Roof ’ resonates with a timeless message,” Holland said, “It is a profound testament to the enduring power of tradition, family and, of course, love — a message we all need to hear now more than ever. It speaks to the power of the human heart, singing out a universal truth: in every era, in every storm, we still carry hope in our hearts.”

A staple of the musical theater canon, “Fiddler” features roles both large and small and for kids and adults. Some actors may portray more than one role, and all actors will be asked to sing.

The production is scheduled to run April 12 through 28, 2024. Rehearsals begin in January. Hopefuls need only attend one of the two audition dates, and will be asked to sing 32 bars, or approximately 90 seconds, of a song of their choosing, or a song from the show. Callbacks will be held Monday, Nov. 20, at 6 pm. Holland and Graamans are willing to work around rehearsal conflicts, depending on their length or frequency and the role in question.

Volunteers are also needed for crew positions: set building, painting, sewing and stage crew. Those interested should email redoctopustheatre@gmail.com with a short description of their interest and experience.
