The quiet town of Toledo is where the Georgia Pacific mill hums, where the Yaquina River meanders and, according to Toledo’s thriving community of artists, also “Where Art Lives.” And the town’s art community is once again throwing open its doors this weekend, inviting guests to explore artwork and hear stories about creating one-ofa-kind pieces. The First Weekend event will offer visitors the chance to view a series of plein air works by award-winning artist Michael Gibbons. The collection features works painted on location in the Pacific Northwest as well as the Arizona desert. Guests are invited to visit with the artist and enjoy complimentary Oregon wine and refreshments from noon to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 6 and 7. Gallery Michael Gibbons is located at 140 NE Alder Street. For more information, call 541336-2797. Just around the corner, fellow oil painter Ivan Kelly, a Signature Member of American Society of Marine Artists, will be showcasing works inspired by the coast’s autumn storms. “Debris washed up from afar creates fascinating patterns in the sands,” Kelly said, “with the beachcombing gulls congregating in the hopes of catching fresh tidbits.” Kelly will be welcoming guests for light refreshments and artistic conversation from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday at 207 East Graham Street. For more information, call 541-336-1124. Also in the Toledo Arts District, the Yaquina River Museum of Art will be continuing its Christmas

show, “Promise,” featuring a range of Latin American and European crafts from the collection of Judith Gibbons. The museum, located at 151 NE Alder Street, will be open from noon to 4 pm both days, with guests invited to enjoy
light refreshments alongside live music from guitarist Gabriel Salcedo. And down on Main Street, Frank Jones will be showing an exhibition of his signature black and white photography, chronicling the urban life of 1980s Portland — a bluecollar cityscape very different from the hipster environment of today. Jones’ photography will be on display accompanied by live folk music from 10 am to 4 pm both days at Francyfolk Photos and Music, 227 S Main Street.
10 weeks of novel ideas Oregon Coast author Deborah Reed will school aspiring writers on how to get their masterpieces out of that desk drawer and into print in a 10-week novel writing class at Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts. Now the author of seven novels, Reed remembers what it feels like to be working on a novel but not really working smart. Her course is aimed at helping writers move forward more effectively. Starting on March 21, the class will meet every Wednesday evening from 7 to 9 pm at the Hoffman Center. To apply, submit a writing sample of no more than 10 pages to hoffmancenter@ nehalemtel.net by February 25. No more than 10 people will be accepted, so early applications are encouraged. The workshop will cover the importance of effective structure, rhythm, pacing and texture, with an emphasis on exploring voice, viewpoint and characterization. Reed will also cover the more elusive and finer sensibilities
of depth, meaning, theme and nuance, where the emotional ties of a novel pull the reader in, keep them turning the page and cause their senses to resonate long after the story has ended. Students will be provided with instructor feedback on submitted workshopped pages, including a summarized statement as well as written feedback on pages from fellow writers. Each writer will have the opportunity to submit pages twice, at a minimum, during the 10 weeks, depending on the size of the group. Reed holds a Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Writing and is co-director of the Black Forest Writing Seminars at the University of Freiburg in Germany. She teaches creative writing at workshops around the US and in Europe. The cost of the workshop is $350 per person. For questions, contact Kathie Hightower at kathiejhightower@gmail.com.

Let him aid your memoir While the word “memoir” might summon images of the great and the good, recording their elevated deeds for the adoration of future generations, a new class in Newport aims to inspire people of all backgrounds to tell their life stories. “Memoir Writing Made Easy” is a six-week class for beginning and experienced writers who want to learn and practice the art of writing memoir in an inviting and supportive environment. Participants will study the
elements of creative nonfiction, do a lot of in-class writing and sharing of stories and strive to inspire and encourage creative storytelling instinct. Instructor Larry Lehnerz approaches writing as a daily spiritual practice while also enjoying the sense of community that develops among writers. A native of Seattle, this 25-year Boeing employee first began writing in earnest while earning BA and MA degrees from Antioch Seattle University. He met his wife in a fiction
writing program at the University of Washington, later joining her to write for a social justice newspaper. Now retired, he is currently marketing two novels to literary agents. This six-session course meets from 10 am to noon on Tuesdays from Jan. 9 through Feb. 13 at the Newport 60+ Activity Center, 20 SE 2nd Street. The class size is limited to 12 people. To sign up, drop by the center or call 541-2659617.

Shedding light on a tale untold A long-lost tale from the Lewis and Clark Expedition will fill Manzanita’s Hoffman Center for the Arts on Saturday, Jan. 13, as “story-warrior” Gideon Gideon F. For-mukwai takes to the stage. “Dare to Tell: Crossing the Columbia with York” is a one-man show telling the story of York, Captain William Clark’s black slave on the 18041806 expedition. His status notwithstanding, the records show York contributed immensely to the success of the expedition as an indispensable bridge-builder. For-mukwai takes the audience on a panoramic journey from Camp Dubois in Missouri to Fort Clatsop in Astoria. In the course of the journey, York experiences 850 days of freedom. Unlike other slaves of that era, he was allowed to carry a rifle, vote alongside the soldiers and given express permission to hunt and trade with the Indians.
But for the footnotes in the journals of his fellow explorers, York’s story would have been lost. “York’s story is an open invitation to all of us to explore and to tell the stories of today’s unsung heroes in communities, corporations and institutions,” Formukwai said. “Who is the York of your community? Dare to tell the story of your own unsung heroes and keep their legacy alive.” For-mukwai spent two years researching and piecing together York’s untold story
before debuting his one-man show with performances in Portland and St Louis. Prior to attempting this project, he spent more than 15 years honing the craft of business storytelling in Asia, Europe, Africa and America. The bestselling author of “The Science of Story Selling,” For-mukwai combines a natural flair for telling stories with dramatic and poetic characters that blend entertaining messages with topical issues that engage and educate across cultures. His public speaking and storytelling have taken him to countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, Iraq, Canada and United Arab Emirates. “Dare to Tell” will start at 7 pm on at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $10. For more information, go to www.hoffmanblog. org online or email Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@ gmail.com.

Psych yourself up and try out Lincoln City’s Theatre West is holding auditions for its upcoming production of “Meanwhile, Back on the Couch,” a fast-paced comedy by Jack Sharkey. Psychiatrist Victor Karleen is financially pressed between the rental of his posh office apartment and his fiancée’s expensive tastes. Needing cash, Victor reluctantly takes on a new patient who, due to romantic frustration, is grinding out a rip-roaring sex novel. By mistake, his nurse
gives the patient’s manuscript to a literary agent believing it to be Victor’s work. Suddenly Victor has an enormous advance royalty check, a Book of the Month Club selection and a potential Pulitzer Prize. When he discovers that it is his patient’s confidences and not his clinical casebook that has saved the day, Victor determines to keep his patient crazy until he dreams up the final chapter. Director Rich Emery is looking for a cast of four
women and four men. Auditions will be held at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday, Jan. 7 and 8, at the theatre, located at 3536 Hwy. 101. The play will run from March 8 through 31 with performances at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, plus one 2 pm matinée on Sunday, March 25. All rehearsals and performances will be at Theatre West. For more information, call 541-994-5663.

A launch countdown W
hen I think back on that September day in 2011, I remember the winds gusting to 60 mph, the white caps frothing up over a slime-slickened pier stretching far out into the bay and me trying to get out of walking the length of it. I was in Garibaldi to visit a one-of-a-kind historic boathouse, but in that moment, there was no place I wanted to visit less. Standing there on the pier in my big yellow raincoat, trying to force a stubborn zipper that refused to budge, I told my guide there was no need for me to see it in person. I already knew it was a special place, and I could further get the gist from pictures. Besides, I was already running late. (Nothing like invoking the sacred ‘on deadline’ excuse.) Today that boathouse, originally the US Coast Guard Lifeboat Station, and later dubbed Pier’s End Boathouse, is the first preservation project of the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative and an apt choice, indeed. The station was built in 1936 and put into use in 1937. Set at the end of a 760foot stretch over 100 wood pilings, it came with its own marine railway, and could accommodate two 36-foot-motor lifeboats and one 26-foot oarpowered surfboat. When the call for help came in, crewmen rolled the lifeboat over the rails into the water, then, when their work was done, winched it back up over the rails into the boathouse. The twostory structure was decommissioned in the 1960s. “It’s the last boathouse in existence in the Pacific Northwest of this type, actually off the water,” said Mike Arseneault, GCHI volunteer marketing consultant and all around community advocate. “Once it’s gone it’s gone. If it falls into the bay it is not going to be coming back. Last summer, Arseneault invited 10 photographers to come to the boathouse and shoot it from sunup to sundown. Now, a recent grant from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition will go toward installing lights in the boathouse for a photography exhibition, including vintage shots as well as those taken summer — the latter donated by the photographers. Arseneault is paying out of his own pocket to have the photos printed. “This will help us tell the story and communicate the significance of the boathouse,” he said. “Our goal is get the space open over key weekends to allow more people to see and experience the space to hopefully generate more funds to help with the full scope of repairs. GCHI is a 501c3 non-profit. In addition to raising funds, we could use donated services of contractors to evaluate and repair the pilings and exterior, repair the pier structure, upgrade electrical and all interior mechanical work.” The photo exhibit will no doubt allow visitors to

appreciate this Tillamook Bay icon, but plans for its use are not only for museum-like displays, but practical hands-on workshops and other special events, such as the recent kayak-building workshop hosted there. “The goal right now is to get people vested in the history and why it is important to keep for the future,” Arseneault said. “We have kind of fallen in love with it. We love working with something people have such a connection to. People tell me their stories. We’ll give people a tour and they are completely blown away. There is nothing left like this on the coast. As far as I am concerned, it is a national treasure.” GCHI leases the boathouse from the Port of Garibaldi for $1 a year, and hopes to have repairs and fresh painting completed in time to open the
building to the public on select weekends this spring. While the boathouse is closed to the public except for special events, the 760-foot pier is open and includes a concrete staircase to the shoreline and seven disabled-accessible turnouts for wildlife viewing, crabbing and fishing. Even in blasting winds and splashing waves, it’s a popular place for those obviously more hearty than I. On that day in September — felt like December — I gave in and reluctantly inched my way out across the slippery pier past numerous folks minding crab rings and fishing rods, apparently not too concerned about the conditions we were in. My only thought was getting to the boathouse, getting inside and surviving the trek back to terra firma. Today, I still grin at the experience (yes, I am such a chicken) and count myself lucky to have had it. Lori Tobias is the author of the novel “Wander” and a journalist of many years.

PHONING IT IN
on the cover Theatre West goes for the hard cell in “For Better”
Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY
O
nce upon a time, playing games with friends required being in the same room with them, maps didn’t need a power source, and people had attention spans that weren’t as short as Lincoln City’s record-holding D River. For better or worse, rapid changes in technology have changed the way we shop, the way we learn, and especially the way we communicate. “For Better,” a new comedy by Eric Coble presented by the cast and crew of Theatre West, explores the sillier aspects of the internet age. The play tells the story of a woman named Karen, played by Theatre West newcomer Tylene Cool, who tries to plan then ultimately carry out her wedding remotely as she and her fiancé have jobs that are keeping them apart. Handheld devices act as critical props in the run up to the wedding — and even during the ceremony itself. “It’s very relatable because at some point everyone has to manage a relationship over short or long distances,” said director Danielle Ryan, whose previous Theatre West directorial credits include “Love, Loss and What I Wore” and “I Hate Hamlet.” “Part of the humor is what gets lost sometimes,” Ryan added. “The play also tackles family relationships and how different generations relate in the modern world, like the dad, who is afraid of technology.” The role of the father, Wally, is being played by George Weber, who recently appeared in the Theatre West production of “The Odd Couple.” Paul McCully, who plays Stuart, is the only other performer with Theatre West credits — he appeared in last year’s production of “Calendar Girls.” “Though most of the cast has theater experience they are brand new to our company,” Ryan said. “We tried to put this on once before but we just couldn’t cast it. It was just luck that I suddenly had new people to work with this time that just happened to fit what the roles called for.” Cool, who is new to the Oregon Coast, was involved in community theatre in Pendleton and while she was in college in California, then started a community-based theatre company in England. Once she was settled in Lincoln City, she started looking for local

theater to be involved with and found Theatre West. “I was ready to audition for whatever play was available but was glad it turned out to be this one,” she said. “I was really excited because it’s so modern compared to what I was used to doing, Shakespeare, for example. Social media is my reality, plus the play is very quick and funny.” The other new blood includes Lauren Hahn as Lizzie, David Piper as Michael and Colette Buchanan as Francine. The young play will be performed in the newish (for the theater company) venue of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, which Ryan says is quite fitting. “Because of the kind of show it is, it will play better at the cultural center,” she said. “We needed a bit more space, and ironically,
the technology is more advanced here.” “For Better” runs through Jan. 27, with performances at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, Jan. 21. Reservations can be made through the Lincoln City Cultural Center by calling 541-994-9994 or online at www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org. Tickets for the show are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (60 and over) and for students (over 12) and $10 for children 12 & under. A special group discount is available at $12 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a pre-paid reservation. Season tickets (five shows for two people) are available for $120.

LIVING IN HARMONY
Organizers of Neskowin Chamber Music will be hoping for harmony on stage when the series resumes on Sunday, Jan. 7, with a performance from husband-and-wife duo Edward Arron and Jeewon Park. Arron has gained worldwide recognition for what critics call his “elegant musicianship, impassioned performance, and creative performing,” while Park has won praise from the York Times for her “infectious exuberance.” A graduate of the Julliard School, Arron started playing the cello at the age of seven and made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, he has appeared in recital, as a soloist with major orchestras and as a chamber musician throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2013, he completed a 10-year residency at the museum’s Artists in Concert series. He has played at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York’s Town Hall and the 92nd Street Y. He currently serves on the music faculty at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Park made her piano debut at the age of 12, performing Chopin’s “First Concerto” with the Korean Symphony Orchestra. After winning all the major competitions in Korea she came to the US in 2002. She is also graduate of the Julliard School as well as Yale University and holds a DMA degree from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. She has performed at such major concert halls as the Grace Rainey Rogers Hall of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art and a number of venues in Korea. She regularly appears at music festivals in New York, Vermont, Seattle and Santa Fe, New Mexico. She frequently collaborates with members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Sunday’s concert will start at 3 pm in the chapel at Camp Winema, three miles north of

There’s b-allot to see at the Mayors’ Show Art selected by some of the Oregon Coast’s top elected officials is on display throughout January as the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts hosts its annual Mayors’ Show at the Newport Visual Arts Center. Now in its third year, the exhibit showcases artwork from 10 artists selected from the dozens who took part in the center’s PushPin Show in December. Newport Mayor Sandra Roumagoux, Lincoln City Mayor Don Williams and Visual Arts Center Director Tom Webb worked together to make the selections on the theme “Paper and Fiber.” The show opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm this Friday, Jan. 5, featuring an artist talk at 6 pm. “We are excited about the mix of creative approaches and artist backgrounds,” Roumagoux said. “This will be a dynamic show!” Artists selected for the show include Laurie Card, Norm Ferber, Julia Goos, Helen Abe-Ichien, Freyjah Krantz, Jeri Le, Kit Macfarland, Jared Matthys, Sara Siggelkow and Tash Wesp. The chosen artists run the generational gamut from Macfarland, who has lived in Newport for 28 years and appeared in the

original Pushpin Show, to 13-year-old Krantz, an eighth grader at Newport Middle School. “I’ve been drawing for longer than I can remember,” Krantz said. “I used to draw on the walls when I was little. My mom decided to buy me art supplies so I would stop drawing on the walls.” “We’re excited to have younger artists in the Mayors’ Show,” Webb said. “Besides Freyjah, Jared Matthys is a freshman in high school. Both are very talented and aspiring artists.” The Mayors’ Show will be on display through Saturday, Jan. 27, available to view from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Sunday, at 777 NW Beach Drive.

Works by Portland artist Bethany Rowland will be on display at the Newport Visual Arts Center in “We Are All in this Together,” a new exhibit opening this Friday, Jan. 5. The show, which features a series of acrylic panel paintings on clayboard, will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm, with a talk from the artist at 6:30 pm. Rowland began her painting and drawing practice more than 20 years ago, working with Phil Sylvester at The Drawing Studio in Portland. She has also studied encaustics under Andrea Schwartz-Feit and monotype and painting under William Park and Royal Nebeker. “By using transparent layers of color and levels of abstraction, painting is the medium for discovery of what captivates me about my subject,” Rowland said. “My love of birds, in all their beauty and wisdom as inhabitants of the world for over 60 million years, make them a frequent subject of my work.” Rowland is represented by the Imogen Gallery in Astoria and the Brian Marki Fine Art Gallery in Portland. In recent years, her work has been featured in solo and group shows at both galleries, including the fall 2017 solo exhibit, “Hope in Another,” at the Imogen Gallery. She has also created work for the 2014-17 Sitka Art Invitationals, the 201417 juried CAP Art Auctions in Portland and the 2015 “Bird Show” at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Beyond her creative pursuits in painting and drawing, Rowland is psychiatric nurse practitioner with a psychotherapy practice in Portland. “We Are All in this Together,” will be on display through February 24, available to view from noon to 4 pm Tuesday through Saturday in the Upstairs Gallery of the Newport Visual Arts Center, 777 NW Beach Drive.

In a class of their own T
he departing class of resident artists from the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology will be showing the fruits of a fall spent at the secluded campus in a Show & Tell set for Saturday, Jan. 6. The free event will give guests the chance to stroll the wooded campus and chat with the residents about their work. The Show and Tell will feature work by Siobhan Humston, an interdisciplinary fine artist exploring notions of journeys and nature; Dan Bottom, a fishery research biologist with deep roots in the wetland restoration in the Salmon River Estuary; Alexis Williams, a Canadian artist who mixes biology and mysticism; Kevin McLean, an ecologist processing research from his studies of wildlife in tropical forest canopies; and Kindra Crick, a Jordan Schnitzer printmaking resident integrating neuroscience and visual art. Dan Bottom has worked in state and federal government for 38 years, including 22 years with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Corvallis and 16 years with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Newport. His research interests include salmon, estuaries and environmental history. He helped to initiate a longterm study of the effects of wetland restoration on salmon populations in the Salmon River estuary, home of the Sitka Center of Art and Ecology. He retired from federal service in 2016 but continues serving as courtesy faculty at Oregon State University and as a technical

Dan Bottom
advisor for a large habitat restoration program in the Columbia River estuary. Siobhan Humston is an interdisciplinary fine
artist based in Vancouver, BC. She uses drawing as the foundation to her environmentally themed practice and also works
with fiber arts, sculptural installation, sound and film. Her desire is to create works that help the viewer develop a deep connection to the
18 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 5, 2018
environment, generating mindful, respectful impact and forward-thinking discussions. Kevin McLean is an ecologist who uses motionsensitive cameras to study wildlife in tropical forest canopies from Malaysian Borneo to the Ecuadorian Amazon. As he collects his scientific data, he uses writing, photos and videos to provide a view of some of the least-known species in the forest. McLean studied Earth Systems at Stanford University, completed his PhD in Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California — Davis. Alexis Williams is a Canadian artist working with natural materials and electronics. Her MFA is from Concordia University where she studied print and bio-art. She runs the Ayatana Artists’ Research Program that facilitates artists’ study of nature through scientific and other points of view. She is a mycologist, a road kill lepidopterist, a sky gazer and a rural explorer, all of
which inform her art practice. She is currently building empathy masks that will let their wearers experience the world with the senses of nonhuman organisms. Kindra Crick, the granddaughter of scientist Francis Crick and the artist Odile Crick, creates artwork that gives visual expression to the wonder and process of scientific inquiry and discovery. In her installations and layered mixed-media work she incorporates drawings, diagrams, maps and imagery from under the microscope. Based in Portland, Crick has exhibited throughout the US and in the UK, including shows at the New York Hall of Science and MDI Biological Laboratory. As part of NW Noggin, an arts-integrated neuroscience outreach group, she created a neuroscience-inspired installation for the Phillips Collection in DC and gave an accompanying lecture at the Portland Art Museum. The Show & Tell, which is free and open to the public, starts at 1 pm at the Sitka Center, located off Three Rocks Road in Otis, just north of Lincoln City.
