No coasting for Mr. Claus

B

eing Santa at the Oregon Coast is not a job for the faint of heart.

While Santas in the big city get to lounge around in the foyers of department stores, flirting with the sales staff while sneaking sips of polar moonshine from a hip flask, we at the coast demand a little more from Saint Nic. I first noticed this high Santa standard when the big man made an appearance at the Embarcadero resort in Newport a couple of weeks ago. No comfy sleigh for him — he got shunted across Yaquina Bay on a Coast Guard boat. Meanwhile, at Lincoln City’s upcoming Miracle on 51st Street (see page 21), Santa’s escort will be made up of a cadre of rather tough-looking bikers who will deliver him to the site in a fire truck. But it is at the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Sea of Lights celebration (see page 22) that the challenges of Mr. Kringle’s coastal tour really become apparent. In full fur-lined gear, complete with boots and hat, Santa plunges into the tank at the Coastal Waters exhibit twice each night. Once in the water, he recites a festive poem and answers questions from an audience of kids who are — quite understandably — on the cusp of Christmasinduced mania. How he dries off in time to pose for photos in the foyer I’ll never know…

Had a long day?

There is no better way to spend a long, dark winter night than curled up with a good book. So, when confronted with the longest, darkest night of them all, what could be better than heading to the library? On Saturday, Dec. 21, Driftwood Public Library will hold its 10th Winter Solstice Celebration, featuring performances by local musicians and poets, reecting on the meaning of winter and looking forward to the coming of spring. Organizers say the event gives guests a chance to stop, take a breath, relax and reect in the company of their community, enjoying

The Lincoln Pops

a small sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Light refreshments will be provided at intermission. The celebration is sponsored by The Friends of Driftwood Public Library, Cape Foulweather Coee Company and Starbucks of Lincoln City. The celebration will begin at 6:30 pm in the Distad Reading Room at the north end of the library and will last about an hour and a half. The library is located on the second oor of the Lincoln City Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101. Any questions about this event can be directed to Mark Irmscher at 541-996-1257 or via e-mail at mirmscher@driftwoodlib.org.

Feeling chili? Feel the burn instead. The town of Yachats will light up the sky and warm up bellies on the year’s longest night with a Winter Solstice BonďŹ re and chili feed on Saturday, Dec. 21. The event, hosted by the Yachats Academy of Arts and Sciences will start at 4 pm in the picnic shelter behind the Yachats Commons, with food and music on oer. The bonďŹ re will be lit at 4:30 pm or as soon as it is dark enough. Members of the Yachats Ladies Club and the Yachats Lions Club will be on hand to provide hot chocolate, mulled cider and

coee. The bonďŹ re celebration is free, with any donations being shared with the participating nonproďŹ t organizations. After the bonďŹ re, the action moves inside to the Commons multipurpose room, where homemade meat and vegetarian chili and cornbread will be on oer for $5, along with an open mic and dancing to old-timey music. The Yachats Commons is located at 441 Hwy. 101 N. For more information, go to GoYachats.com or call 541-961-6695.

learn a little Learning — on your terms

Master a new skill in 2014

If your New Year’s resolution is to get fit, learn a foreign language or master a new skill, Tillamook Bay Community College is here to lend a hand, with registration now open for winter term classes. People planning on attending the college for the first time, can complete an application online at TillamookBay.cc or at the Student Services Office at the main college campus. New students must complete the application, take a college skill level placement test, or provide previous college transcripts, and take a Jan. 2 student orientation session before registering for classes. Returning students can register online at TillamookBay.cc or at the Student Services office at the college. Registration can be completed online through Sunday, Jan. 5. Winter term classes start on Jan. 6.

As far as titles go, “Master Gardener” is pretty impressive — bringing to mind a sage group of flawless horticulturists, gathering in secret assemblies to swap asparagus tips, like elves from a Tolkien novel But you don’t have to be an expert to become an OSU Master Gardener. Anyone with a sincere interest in gardening and horticulture can take part. And registration is now open for the 2014 Tillamook OSU Extension Service Master Gardener training. The program includes 66 hours of instruction about growing plants on the Oregon Coast, taught Oregon State University staff and local volunteers. The course is offered at a discount to people who are willing to volunteer in the community to help the Extension Service answer horticulture questions for the public. For those that have the time and desire to volunteer in their community, the fee for the training is $120, which includes the Sustainable Gardening textbook and all class materials. OSU Master Gardeners provide 60 hours of volunteer service during the year after they complete their training. They work with other Master Gardeners to answer questions at the OSU Extension office, plant clinics and other events; they work together at the Master Gardener Learning Garden and at many community and school gardens; and they help educate others in the community about gardening. For those that do not have the time or desire to volunteer, the class costs $360. Classes are held each Tuesday, starting on Jan. 7 and continuing through April 1, from 9 am to 4:30 pm at Tillamook Bay Community College with an hour for lunch, and are held. To register or form more information, contact the OSU Extension Service, 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook, 503-842-3433.

A resolution you CAN keep

Even if your New Year’s resolution is to drive less, you can still stay up to date on your food preservation skills. Oregon State University Extension Service’s new Preserve@Home class gives people the chance to learn how to safely can, dry or freeze their garden’s bounty without leaving their home. The online class shows how to safely preserve a variety of foods and includes lessons on the science behind food preservation and food safety. The class starts on Thursday, Jan. 16 and the registration deadline is noon on Monday, Jan. 13. Each lesson includes online text that can be downloaded and printed; an online bulletin board to facilitate participant discussion; a real-time weekly chat to allow classmates and instructors to interact; and weekly open book quizzes, leading toward an open book final exam. Topics to be covered include: foodborne Illness – causes and prevention; spoilage and canning basics; canning high-acid foods; canning specialty high-acid foods – pickles, salsa, jams, jellies, etc.; canning low-acid foods; and freezing and drying. OSU Extension/Tillamook County will provide a hands-on lab experience in pressure canning and water-bath canning for North Coast Oregon participants at the OSU Extension office in Tillamook. Cost of the course is $50. For more information or to register, contact the OSU Extension Office at 503-842-3433 or go to http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/food-preservationamp-safety-information.

A resolution solution With the ushering in of a new year, many people make lists of lofty resolutions that will be forgotten by mid-February — lose 20 pounds, eat healthy, work out five days a week. This year, why not try something different? The Living Well with Chronic Conditions workshop offers people a six-week path to take control of their health and life by learning and implementing simple tools. Tools like problem solving, decision making, healthy eating

And the Chays are on hand to offer advice about how spicy people might like their dish, using a Thai spice scale that runs from ‘very spicy’, through ‘spicy,’ ‘medium’ and ‘mild’ all the way to ‘not spicy.’ Day recommends first-timers start on medium and go from there. “If you feel that’s not enough, we can bring it back to the kitchen and up the level for you,” he said. The restaurant has lots of vegetarian options and also caters for people who require their food gluten-free. Day goes as far as to wash the cooking pan and the spatula and present them for inspection at the table before starting to cook. Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, the couple aim to provide a warm, service-minded welcome to all their guests in the hope that they will come back for more — and bring their friends. Favorite dishes at the restaurant include Tom Yum, a hot and sour soup made with the Thai herb lemongrass, galanga and kaffir lime leaves; as well as Tom Kha, a chicken coconut soup, which is a step closer to the coast’s beloved chowder.

An Oregon Coast

Christmas Carol O

PART 1

n Thanksgiving Day, Old Marley was dead, dead as a clearcut. He’d suffered a heart attack while riding a sublime turquoise wave and washed up, entangled in kelp, a couple hundred yards from his beachfront home. A week later, Marley, an ageless legend in Oregon Coast surfing circles for 40 years, had his ashes spread upon the ocean at dawn by the largest flotilla of surfers in the history of the sport. The wake raged for two days and the drum circle never stopped. It rained the whole time and the town ran out of beer and chocolate bars. Even the Governor put in an appearance, although he looked a little awkward around the bonfire, perhaps because he was the only one wearing clothes. Then the anxious mystery commenced. Marley’s clan openly wondered who would inherit his magnificent home, a cedar, A-frame structure titled Fort Tom McCall, a crude, hand-crafted palace that served as a Mecca, a hostel, a crash pad, a Zen station of the cross, a hospital, a repair shop, a sanctuary for fairies, a lawn gnome orphanage, a flotsam and jetsam art gallery, a history museum, and animal shelter for surfers, kite fliers, paddle boarders, rock hounds, crippled birds, old sea lions, real estate novelists and limpet nuts. Marley never cared where a person came from; everyone was a local in his mind. He welcomed one and all and shared his passion for Oregon’s unique heritage of publicly-owned beaches. That heritage imbued Marley’s spirituality and politics and it was widely attested that he was the greatest unpaid activist protecting that heritage the state had ever known. One postcard from him could put 200 surfers and their boards in a zoning meeting or bureaucrat’s windowless office in three days. He’d never gone online in his life and did activism the old way. Marley had a standing invitation that anyone could access the beach via his property, 24/7. In fact, he erected neon signs that pointed the way. Luckily, he owned the two huge vacant lots juxtaposed to his property, prime real estate that non-dreamers dreamed of developing. It was on this choice, sandy ground that Marley staged his annual Oswald West Naked Surf Rock and Driftwood Fort Festival, a tribal event that routinely vexed the State Parks Department because of its spontaneous, unscripted nature.

Some dreadlocked guitarist just started shredding a Dick Dale nugget on a gray summer afternoon, the whiskey flowed from Cascade Head, and the tubular word got out. What permit? This was Oregon. Marley did more than protect the beaches, stage a festival and provide succor to humans and animals alike. He also hosted an annual surf camp for kids, principals, seniors, cops, criminals, sinners, saints, dogs, veterans, transgenders, carnies and every other demographic group under the sun. And then there was Marley’s epic Christmas Day salmon bake and bonfire sculpture contest that attracted hundreds of people from far away as Whoville. He fed everyone and then judged the sculptures as they went up in flames. The winners received wooden figurines of androgynous mermaids Marley carved himself with a tiny grandma chainsaw. Marley never charged anyone a cent for anything. He refused all donations. No one ever determined where his money came from and no one ever asked. There were rumors of a lucrative high tech past, an early association with Steve Jobs or Gordon Moore, cashed-in stock options and mountains of gold bars, but nothing concrete or codified. There was absolutely nothing about Marley on the Internet, outside the stories of his receipt-free philanthropy. It was agreed, however, that he did not grow and sell marijuana. Yes, who would inherit the property? No one even knew if Marley had family. None had visited him. Most in Marley’s clan thought he would deed it to a conservation foundation or a surfer in a random drawing. A few believed Marley would call for razing the structure and giving the property to the state to become a new park. They were all wrong, very wrong, and therefore shocked to learn in the newspaper a few days after the wake that Old Marley had gifted his entire estate to his only surviving relative, his nephew, a 33-year old man with the odd name of Ebenezer Scrooge. What shocked the clan even more was learning that Marley left no provision in the will about developing or not developing the land. It seemed like an egregious oversight. Upon hearing the name Scrooge, one of the Clan whipped out her smart phone and googled him. “Oh my God!” she exclaimed, tearing at her

wetsuit. “He’s a condo developer in San Diego and writes a blog about how much he hates slackers and surfers! He just posted that he inherited some beachfront property in Oregon and can’t wait to see it.” Then it got much, much worse. “And listen to the theme music on his blog!” she screamed. It was Kenny G’s song about the rain. Back in Southern California, Ebenezer Scrooge could not believe his good fortune. He had inherited three spacious beachfronts lots on the Oregon Coast from a communist uncle he’d never met. He could do anything he wanted with them because they were grandfathered in before Oregon enacted its visionary land use laws that forestalled terrible, foolhardy development shored up by ungodly riprap. Merry Christmas indeed.

Oregon Coast TODAY

lthough the Central Oregon Coast rarely has weather that inspires one to get out and run during the darkest months of winter, a group of stalwart runners do, in fact, get out in all kinds of conditions. And they not only run, they race. Members of the Coast Hills Running Club, based out of Newport, compete in an environment where the word “supportive” is an understatement. The club’s Winter Trail Series, open to all comers, consists of three races held in different locations throughout Lincoln County from November to January. Runners earn points based on their performance in each of the races, which are between four and seven miles long. Due to gender and age handicapping and the fact that most runners can’t make it to every race, the prizes awarded at the end of the series do not necessarily go to the swiftest competitor. The courses are a great way to discover local trails

getting into it too.” Cortes is the race director for the closely associated but different organization, Coast Hills Events, which last year put on a summer trail series. This year, Cortes is hoping to put on a 25-kilometer trail race and a beach summer race series. “People are hitting the trails more and more,” he said. “There’s been an increase in running in general, but I think it’s easier to get hooked on the trails than the roads.” The next race in the winter series will be held at 10 am on Sunday, Dec. 22, at Cape Perpetua, an area south of Yachats very popular with hikers and runners. At 6.5 miles, it will be one of the more challenging races in the series, but Cortez assures prospective racers that “half of the race is downhill.” The date and location of the third race has yet to be determined, but will be posted on the club’s Facebook page. All are welcome, with registration taking place onsite on the race day. More information as well as photos from previous events can be found at www.facebook.com/

CoastHillsRunningClub. Although the trail series races are, as the name implies, run almost exclusively on trails, the club sponsors quite a few road races every year in or near Newport. The club also has informal group runs throughout the week. For more information about the club, visit www.coasthillsrunningclub.com or email run@newportmarathon.com. Coast Hills Events also puts on a few races a year, including the upcoming Jan. 4 “Resolution Run,” a multi-choice event with options including a 5K, a beer mile, a kids run, or the 5K followed by a “Polar Plunge;” a dip in the icy waters of the Yaquina Bay. You can sign up for any the races or just the plunge, at www.facebook. com/NewportResolutionRun. For more information, email info@ coasthillsevents.com. Entry to the Winter Trail Series races is $15 per race for non-members. Club members can take part in all the races for a flat fee of $15. Club membership costs $15 for individuals or $20 for families.

That’s because this year, Santa will be delivered to Lincoln City’s Taft District by a group of hogs. The Harley-riding Roundabouts for Veterans & Community group will form an honor guard to escort Santa and Mrs. Claus to SW 51st Street on Saturday, Dec. 21, for the sixth annual Miracle on 51st Street celebration. Santa, who entertains visitors in a decorated trailer to keep the weather at bay, never fails to draw a crowd, with kids, adults and even animals wanting their photo taken with the polar present-giver. The event’s 4 pm start will be tough to miss, with the Bay Area Merchants Association icking the switch to illuminate the fairy-light bedecked 51st Street dock as Santa arrives. “That’s how we get 51st into a festive mood,â€? Roundabouts member Stephanie Franklin said. “When Santa shows up then ‘boom’ — the lights go on.â€? Mo’s Restaurant, which sits adjacent to the dock, provides the electricity for the lights and maintains the decorations until after Christmas. Santa and Mrs. Claus are scheduled to arrive at Mo’s at 4 pm, having been escorted

A place to get into the spirit

Operation Christmas Spirit will again serve up a full Christmas dinner to all comers at the Lincoln City Community Center on Wednesday, Dec. 25, ensuring that no-one need be alone for the big day. The traditional hot Christmas meal will be served up from 10 am to 3 pm on Christmas Day, with organizers expecting 500 or more people to turn up. This annual event, created years ago by Betty Fry, feeds people that might otherwise have a bleak and hungry

holiday or simply would otherwise be alone for their holiday meal. It is now sponsored by Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Lincoln City Community Center, and North Lincoln Sanitary Service. Organizers are still accepting donations of desserts, which can be dropped o at the center between noon and 4 pm on Tuesday, Dec. 24, or from 8 am to noon on Christmas Day. Donations of items to help people beat the cold weather, such as new blankets, sleeping bags, hats and gloves cam

also be dropped o at Aces Bar and Grill, the Chinook Winds Casino Resort Marketing Department, Little Antique Mall, North Lincoln Sanitary, Kenny’s IGA North, and the Lincoln City Community Center until Christmas Eve. For more information or to volunteer, contact Monica Logan at 541-557-4313 or Heather Hatton at 541996-5766. If you’d like to deliver hot meals or you know someone who should be on the delivery list, call 541-9947731.

See submerged santa at 6 and 7 pm

Come sea the lights The Oregon Coast Aquarium has never been short of color — boasting glowing jellyďŹ sh, brick red octopuses and neon ďŹ sh of every hue imaginable. But on weekends throughout December, the place is getting even brighter after hours, with Sea of Lights — a painstakingly crafted display of thousands of twinkling lights and holiday decorations. Previously a one-time event, this year’s show is open every Saturday and Sunday in December from 5 to 8 pm. Admission is $8 per person. As well as admiring the lights and the aquarium displays, guests get the chance to see Santa show o his SCUBA skills as he dives into the Coastal Waters tank at 6 and 7 pm each evening. Guests visiting before Christmas can also have their photo taken with Santa in front of the aquarium’s enormous Christmas tree.

The aquarium is also accepting donations of non-perishable food for Food Share of Lincoln County; pet food for the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and new, unwrapped children’s toy for the Newport Fire Department’s Holiday Toy Drive. Aquarium members can get in to Sea of Lights free of charge but organizers said they hope members will still choose to donate to one of the good causes. “Sea of Lights lets the Aquarium give back to the community, but we also organize it for the sheer fun of it,� said event organizer Michele Steen. “There is no other place to go see a big light display on the central Oregon Coast.� The Oregon Coast Aquarium, located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, is open every day, except Dec. 25, this winter from 10 am to 5 pm. For more information, go to aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.
