Word up, in Lincoln City Finding the right words to describe a piece of art can be tricky. But the Chessman Gallery’s latest show will see visual artists tackling the opposite challenge, how to create work that does justice to poetry. “Beyond Words” is a mixed media exhibition about the power of poetry to ignite the imagination. The exhibit explores the infinite ways words can be interpreted, displaying art pieces and musical compositions alongside the poems that inspired them, all from “First Draft: Erratic Musings of a Wannabe Poet” by Terri Thomas. The show opens with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Feb. 9, offering visitors the chance to enjoy wine, light refreshments and live music, as well as to meet

On Saturday, Feb. 24, Terri Thomas will hold an Afternoon Poetry Salon featuring select guest poets from the Oregon Coast. Running from 2 to 4 pm in the Chessman Gallery, the salon will feature poetry readings, light refreshments and the chance to view the “Beyond Words” exhibit.

During the “Beyond Words” reception, guests can head downstairs to an open house and sale at the cultural center’s Clay Studio. Meet local clay artists and see what creations have been born in the converted boiler room of the old Delake School building. For more details, email Kimberly Ota at Kimberly inclay@gmail.com.

In a career spanning three continents, she has made her mark in everything from television, film and theater to voice overs and opera. “Vanna Bonta said, ‘The true poem rests between the words,’” Thomas said, “it is that place that I hope artists and readers find inspiration from

He’s a natural The natural world as seen through the eyes of Gleneden Beach oil painter Ronald Yasenchak is the subject of a February exhibit at Lincoln City’s Beachstone Gallery. Yasenchak’s artistic talents first surfaced in 1968, when he started painting with oils while living in Columbus, Ohio. He and his family moved to Portland in 1970 where he put away his brushes and pursued woodwork along with various outdoor interests including hunting, fishing and golf. In 1974, he attended a garden show that included a bonsai exhibit. Yasenchak had majored in forestry in college and he found bonsai

an almost perfect marriage of plants and art. For the next forty 40 years, he designed and maintained dozens of artfully crafted bonsai. He collected trees, took lessons from bonsai masters, scoured trees from nurseries, collected plants in the wild and attended conventions. He served as board member and president of the local bonsai society and later served six years as treasurer of the International Bonsai Society. In 2008, he and his wife, Becky, bought a home in Gleneden Beach and became permanent residents. Trees remained central to Yasenchak’s art when he picked up his abandoned paints and brushes in 2014,

joining birds and fish as the main focus of many of his paintings. He also likes to include a little mystery and humor in his work. Beachstone Gallery is open from 10 am to 5 pm every day in the Artists’ Co-op Gallery building at 620 Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. Parking is at the rear of the building.

With the theme “From the Old West to the Stars Beyond,” the newly renamed Antique & Collectibles Week will celebrate a mixture of old and contemporary collectibles from Saturday, Feb. 10, through Sunday, Feb. 18. “We are mixing the old with the new this year,” said event coordinator Lori Arnold. “The retailers are excited for everyone to get in touch with their nostalgic side.” As well as offering deals and discounts at antique stores throughout town, Antique & Collectibles Week will host a City-Wide Scavenger Hunt, giving participants the chance to win 50 gift bags worth more than $100 each. One lucky scavenger hunter will win a weekend getaway to Lincoln City. Those with cherished collectibles in need of appraisal can drop by the Appraise-a-thon at the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Tuesday, Feb. 13, to get their items appraised by experienced volunteers, starting at 6:30 pm. And the Float Fairy volunteers will also be busy during Antique & Collectibles Week, taking to the sands to hide 300 antique-style Japanese glass floats on Lincoln City’s seven miles of beautiful beach. They will be carefully hidden during daylight hours between the high tide line and the embankment. If you find it, you keep it.

In praise of old favorites By Dana Grae Kane For the TODAY

I

n my opinion, Antique Week has two major flaws. First, running from Saturday, Feb. 10, through Sunday, Feb. 18, clearly makes it nine days rather than week. And second, while it does return faithfully every year, it does not come often enough or last long enough to suit me. Once a month throughout the year would be much better, but I try to make do. The age an object must reach before it is deemed “antique” and valuable as such is always debatable, but generally something is so considered when it has survived at least 75 years, but preferably 100. However, H. Jackson Brown, Jr., who has thus far survived 77 years and is the author of seemingly billions of best-sellers, beginning with the famous “Life’s Little Instruction Book,” reminds me that “the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.” Absolutely they are, and I gather as many of them as possible for this joyfully anticipated yearly ritual. We share the delights of discovery of the surprising, the bizarre, the fabulous, sometimes the unique and occasionally even the rare to be found among the participating shops. Our imaginations run wild considering the conversations and actions may have taken place over a hand-painted Victorian eggshellporcelain tea cup. Did dastardly ne’er-do-well third-cousin Egbert Throggleslugge stare steadily over its delicate rim into the eyes of gullible heiress Amelia Chalmondsley, inveigling her to hand over the family fortune? Might evil Aunt Euphorbia have sipped primly from the vessel while her tea guests succumbed to the nightshade in the scones, after which the complicitous gardener interred the innocents beneath the herbaceous border? Those who have not yet experienced the fun of antique and collectible hunting and feel they don’t have the faintest idea how or where to begin will surely enjoy a preliminary voyage of discovery in the pages of “Kovel’s Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide,” now in its 49th edition, covering virtually every type of object in classical and pop culture. Having started writing in 1952, describing themselves as passionate amateur collectors, not professionals, and thus far having sold over four million copies of their guide, the Kovels can help novices enjoy Antique Week to the fullest. Also, shop owners will help

direct newcomers to things with which they would really enjoy living, not merely owning, and explain how to properly maintain them. The antique dealers I know are interested in developing satisfied customers, who will want to return year after year, not in unconscionably unloading white elephants for a one-time profit. With particular regard to solid wooden furniture, many people are under the mistaken impression that antique pieces are “too expensive” to even consider and thus settle for cheaper “modern” furnishings for their homes. The truth is the reverse: Almost all solid wooden furniture, even that in a sorry state of severe neglect, will outlast the unscrupulously marketed concoctions of plastic, pressboard and (sometimes toxic) chemicals and glue. This false furniture will invariably sag, crack and fall apart, resulting in perpetual replacement costs. A local antique dealer recently marveled to me ruefully that even his own now adult child, despite having been nurtured in the presence of beautiful antique woods, consistently invests in mass manufactured monstrosities that invariably fail. “Three complete bedroom sets in three years,” he sighed, shaking his head, resting his hand on a magnificently handcarved 150-year-old bedstead. The other specious argument against real wooden furniture, paneling and wainscotting is that such are “dull” in color and “oldfashioned” in form, ranging only from light oak to black walnut with just the occasional leavening of red or black lacquer, and that Baroque complexity is better replaced with “clean” linearity. These two spurious concepts once met to horrific effect in the fevered brains of the Powers That Were in a major international patent law firm where I used to work. In fairness, I should say that this was understandable, given that the firm was at the forefront of cutting-edge biotechnological and computer software invention. It was decided that the magnificent mahogany characterizing the quiet quality and dignity of the firm since its inception in 1851 was passé. A Decorating Committee was appointed,

the members of which, although undeniably brilliant exemplars of science and law, could not have distinguished the Bayeux Tapestry from a recycled tire doormat and thought the Louvre was a type of vertical window blind. It did not end well. After interviewing numerous decorators, the Committee finally succumbed to the mesmerizing mantra of one particularly sprightly husband-and-wife decorating team: “It’s Always Wise to Modernize.” Massive wads of money changed hands and from the several floors of the firm all former glories were savagely stripped away. In barged a mélange of faux woodgrain turquoise and slate blue linoleum-like flooring and blinding white plastic cabinets, conference tables and chairs, exuding formaldehyde and other dangerous substances, giving the office the look of a 1950s tract Formica kitchen and the smell of a chemical processing plant. Carpeting of competing patterns and colors covered vast expanses. Particularly disconcerting was the foot-wide black and white zig-zag lightning bolt pattern of the new library rug, so visually disturbing that librarians suffered vertigo and dared not look toward the bottom shelves for fear of vomiting on the books. Not to be left behind, the reception area sported juxtaposed cube chairs in piercing turquoise and screaming Halloween orange. Meanwhile, back at the cubicle maze, the interior walls had broken out in a polyester geometric design print in a mixture of coral, turquoise, pink and black, appearing to have been infected with a strange disease. Staring at this at close range, as we cubicle-dwellers had no choice but to do, proved so migraine-making we resorted to taping sheets of plain printer paper over the fabric and regretted the ignorance that had caused us to scorn the original gray as boring and inartistic. Now we understood why lab rats go mad. The tide began to turn only when major International clients recoiled in shock upon first entering the reconstituted reception area, politely suppressing guffaws disguised as coughs. Accompanying several of them

commentary

as interpreter, I learned some unexpectedly candid expressions drawn from the undiplomatic vernacular. Alas, the Committee had neglected to recall that many CEOs, CFOs, hedge fund managers and venture capitalists, particularly those from Europe and Asia, usually had heaps of treasured wooden furniture at home in their chateaux and Manhattan penthouse pied-a-terre, passed down lovingly for minimally 400 years of dynastic family life. Within six months, the thin fabric on the chairs began to wear and fray, the plastic cupboard doors would not close all the way, one of them falling on and breaking an employee’s foot, and the filing shelves sagged ominously. Rehab of the employee and the office was scheduled as early as possible and the hapless Decorating Committee members were confined to their fields of expertise. The firm was refurbished in a high-quality conventional manner, but the formerly unique elegance and ambience were lost forever. Having at last escaped from the above world, I now seek peace and tranquility. When people visit my retirement apartment, they see a few solid wooden pieces of furniture dating from about 1850 to 1940, none of it perfect and none of it matched, but all of it compatible, most of it purchased during previous Antique Weeks, no single piece having cost more than $350, all selected judiciously to please my eye and suit the available space without cramming. Every one of my woods earns its keep by containing things, maximizing my storage space. For a one-time expense, and often an especially low one during Antique Week, anyone can acquire very high-quality furnishings to last a lifetime and beyond, an admirable legacy. Fortunately, Antique Week lasts long enough for us to shop mindfully and meaningfully. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was it built of plastic and pressboard. Such garbage makes landfill, not history.

love a little Jive and jot this Valentine’s Day

Vow and again, in Yachats The Little Log Church and Museum in Yachats will present its annual Ceremony of Renewal and Commitment this Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, Feb. 14. Now in its 23rd year, the ceremony offers committed couples, married or otherwise, the opportunity to renew their vows in a group setting. This year, the Log Church will offer the ceremony at two times — one at noon and one at 5:30 pm. Mary Crook, the independent minister who has facilitated the event since 1996, said hundreds of couples have come to Yachats to renew their vows over the years. “For some couples it is a first-time experience,” she said; “for others it has become an annual tradition — something fun and meaningful to do on Valentine’s Day.” This year her theme will be “Creating a Vision.” Popular local guitarist Richard Sharpless will play a selection of romantic pieces at the noon ceremony, while local violinist Ruth Mock will provide the music for the evening ceremony. Each couple will also receive a certificate as a memento of the occasion. The church is located at SW Third Street and Pontiac in the heart of town. The Valentine’s Day vow renewal has become a popular fundraiser for the Little Log Church, which has been a Yachats landmark for nearly 90 years and houses several historic artifacts. A $10 donation is suggested. Reservations are required. To book a spot, call Crook at 541-547-4547.

Flying the PFLAG for love Hearts and Flowers will fill the lobby of Oregon Coast Community College’s Newport campus this Saturday, Feb. 10, as PFLAG hosts its annual Love is Love Valentine party.

There will also be a special ceremony honoring newlyweds and longest-married couples, both gay and straight. Live music will be provided by Past Forward, with a lineup of traditional and modern love songs featuring vocals from Akia Woods. Teen poets and writers representing the Gay/Straight Alliance Clubs from Lincoln County high schools will read their work, and adults will read striking modern and traditional love poetry, Guests will also get to choose from a selection of Valentine desserts donated by local bakers and churches. And volunteers will be staffing a table of hearts, flowers, glitter and glue for guests to create their own handmade Valentine cards for that special someone.

PFLAG Chair Ineka Estabrook and Akia Woods, soloist for Past Forward

Love is Love will run from 2 to 4 pm in the lobby of the college at 400 SE College Way. Admission is free but donations will support PFLAG’s programs for LGBT youth. For more information or to be included as newlyweds, call 541-265-7194 or 541265-2922.

has been developing her dance career for the past two years. Kurt Danna danced with PDE for 10 years before going on to study design management, music and art at the Art Institute of Portland. At this year’s performances, he will present a piece he choreographed, set to music he composed. Other performances prepared for the show include dances set to opera and jazz, a traditional pointe ballet piece, and a duet by Anabel Tucker and Madyson Fortmeyer set to Simon & Garfunkel’s “Feeling Groovy.” As well as enjoying the show, guests can browse and bid on a range of items in the silent auction, with all proceeds helping PDE continue bringing cultural enrichment to the community. Programs include engaging in exchange programs with national and international dance groups; offering lecture demonstrations in local schools; commissioning guest choreographers, artists and dancers to enrich Lincoln County dancers; taking students to performances in other cities; and bringing performances to the Newport Performing Arts Center. PDE was conceived as a training ground for young dancers interested in pursuing a career in dance. PDE dancers follow a rigorous program with numerous rehearsals, multiple performances throughout the year, touring and continually working hand-in-hand with professional artists to create mature works for the general public. PDE alumni have gone on to study and perform in such places as The Juilliard School in New York City, the San Francisco Ballet and The Laban School in London.

xpect heartfelt performances in Newport this weekend as members of the Pacific Dance Ensemble take to the stage for a pair of free performances to offer thanks to a supportive community. Entitled “Dances From the Heart,” the performances will take place at 7 pm on Saturday, Feb. 10, and 2 pm on Sunday, Feb. 11, each accompanied by a silent auction packed with items donated by local merchants. “PDE offers these performances as a Valentine’s gift to the community,” said ensemble director Nancy Mittleman, “in heartfelt recognition of all the wonderful support and skills they have acquired growing up in Lincoln County.” This year’s shows celebrate PDE’s 32nd anniversary with original choreography by alumni Cecily Wechter and Kurt Danna as well as current members, Erika Sugrue, Leela Kreis-Stokes and Anabel Tucker as well as Mittleman herself. “The Lincoln County community web continues to expand,” Mittleman said, “as PDE alumni weave themselves into the fiber of new communities and then bring their worlds back to share with us in this year’s ‘Dances from the Heart.’” After studying with PDE for many years, Wechter went on to graduate from the School of Music and Dance at the University of Oregon. She currently teaches modern dance, including an exploration into the Gaga movement style, developed by Ohad Naharin, choreographer and artistic director of the internationally acclaimed Batsheva Dance Company. She has been a guest teacher at Mittleman’s summer Dance Intensives for the past two years and is currently teaching at PDE while Mittleman heals from a hip replacement. Wechter said her choreography for this year’s “Dances From the Heart” was inspired by the imposing stone memorials of a graveyard near Reykjavik, where she

Manzanita’s Art of Aging series will liven up the dark days of midwinter with a Wednesday, Feb. 14, session on “The Power of Humor and Laughter.” Led by a team of Art of Aging facilitators, the session will aim to show participants how to add more humor and laughter to each day. “There is plenty of research out there on the benefits of humor and laughter, for body, mind and spirit,” said Art of Aging facilitator Tela Skinner. “Laughter appears to change brain chemistry and may boost the immune system.” Skinner said humor can allow a person to feel in control of a situation and to release fears, anger and stress. “Humor improves the quality of life,” she said. “Even without the research, we know this intuitively.” The event will run from 3 to 5 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Admission is $5. To get on the email list for Art of Aging and Art of Dying announcements, email telaskinner@gmail.com.

There is still time to register for an Oregon Coast Community College class that takes a metaphysical approach to dealing with the stresses of daily life. “Have a Pleasant Present: Techniques for Creating Inner Peace in Stressful Times” runs each Wednesday from Feb. 14, through March 21, at the college’s Newport campus, taught by metaphysical educator Violet Young. Young, who has been

teaching about the spirit for more than 30 years, said the class aims to show how people’s personal belief systems set them up to perceive the world either negatively or positively “We are influenced and become preconditioned by and through our upbringing and life experiences,” she said. “Because this happens so slowly during our lives we are not conscious of the patterns being formed and we become resigned to the

‘usual outcome.’” Once people learn to recognize their own patterns and triggers, she said, they can then be open to make choices that create new growth and joy. Using a lot of humor, the experiential class includes relaxation techniques, exploration and sharing of personal experiences as well as art projects to create affirmative supports and personal flash cards. The cost of the class is $45.

Have a ball at the museum Lincoln City’s North Lincoln County Historical Museum will celebrate Antique & Collectibles Week with an opening reception for its new exhibit of Japanese glass floats this Saturday, Feb. 10. Avid collector and float expert Nick Simpson, along with members of the float community, will be on hand to discuss and answer questions

about the exhibit. Guests will also be able to see a selection of beautiful American-made glass floats from Simpson’s personal collection. The exhibit displays the various sizes, shapes, colors and methods used in glass floats developed for use by fishermen along the coasts of the Japanese islands. Floats in this exhibit were lost by fishermen at sea, and

some still have their nets. They were caught up in the Pacific currents and eventually deposited by the tide on beaches along the West Coast. The floats became a prized find for many beachcombers. This exhibit displays floats from two large collections that span many years. The reception will run from 1 to 4 pm at the museum, 4907 SW Hwy. 101.

Return of the Krack The Crab Krack will return to Newport this Sunday, Feb. 11, offering guests a luscious dinner of fresh, local Dungeness crab accompanied by live jazz. This Lincoln County Historical Society fundraiser is made possible thanks to generous donations from the local crab fishing fleet, alongside donations from local restaurants and merchants. As well as a whole crab dinner, guests can enjoy various side dishes, an array of desserts, no-host bar, live music by the Bringetto Jazz

Duo, and both silent and oral auctions. Event proceeds will be used to complete lower-floor renovations at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center. Tickets, $55 per person or $45 for historical society members, are available at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Museum, 333 Bay Blvd; and at the Burrows House Museum, 545 SW 9th Street. For more information, to purchase tickets, or reserve a table for eight, call the Historical Society at 541265-7509. The Crab Krack will

A TIME FOR PEACEFUL

REFLECTION

Siletz Bay will be the site of the latest birding field trip from the Audubon Society of Lincoln City this Saturday, Feb. 10. The trip, offered in partnership with Lincoln City’s Parks & Recreation Department and Visitor & Convention Bureau, will start at 9 am from Taft Dock, just next to Mo’s Restaurant on SW 51st Street. No prior birding experience is required and binoculars and guidebooks can be provided. Siletz Bay regularly hosts thousands of wintering waterfowl and shorebirds including ducks, loons, grebes, raptors, shorebirds, gulls and herons. Great egrets and great blue herons, common goldeneye, redbreasted merganser and surf scoter are usually seen with the possibility of an Eurasian wigeon. Bald eagles, who nest nearby, always put on a show and winter storms can bring in some unusual visitors. The group will carpool from Taft, making stops overlooking Siletz Bay in Cutler City and Siletz Keys. In Cutler City, walkers will also get to check the Cutler City Open Space for winter resident birds. Time permitting and depending on conditions, the group could end the trip with a walk on the south side of Siletz Bay along the Salishan Nature Trail. For more information or directions, call 541-9929720. Audubon Society of Lincoln City offers free birding field trips with experienced trip leaders on the second Saturday of most

Some echo-friendly technology The potential of underwater gliders as a research tool will be on the agenda this Saturday, Feb. 10, when PhD candidate Selene Fregosi addresses the Oregon Chapter of the American Cetacean Society in Newport. Fregosi will explain how Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, or AUVs, can be outfitted with passive acoustic recorders to study the presence and distribution of a variety of marine

mammal species. A PhD candidate at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, Fregosi uses novel acoustic technologies to answer applied ecological questions. Her PhD research focuses on how AUVs can be used as a monitoring tool for otherwise hard-tostudy species like marine mammals. Her research has ranged from the behavioral responses of marine mammals to man-made

noise; the development of an animal-borne tag to study animal behavior; individual acoustic signatures and social hierarchies in male elephant seals; and even the evolution of aggression in bluebirds. The talk, which is free and open to all, will start at 10 am at Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye Street. For more information, contact Joy Primrose, ACS Oregon Chapter president, at marine_lover4ever@yahoo. com or 541-517-8754.
