ART ON<br />
DISPLAY<br />
On view for the first time in years is a traveling<br />
exhibition created by the Yaquina River<br />
Museum of Art featuring 35 plein air paintings<br />
from locations in the Yaquina River Watershed,<br />
created by the late artist Michael Gibbons.<br />
The display — “The Yaquina Exhibition: A<br />
Painted Voice for a Sacred Landscape” — is<br />
showing from now through Jan. 15, 2023, in<br />
the Mezzanine Gallery, located inside the Pacific<br />
Maritime Heritage Center at 333 E Bay Blvd.,<br />
Newport.<br />
Supportive artifacts from the Lincoln County<br />
Historical Society collections will also be<br />
featured as part of this exhibition. A book<br />
on Gibbon’s work and Giclee prints will be<br />
available for sale in the museum store.<br />
EXHIBITION STATEMENT<br />
The purpose of the Michael Gibbons exhibit is<br />
to offer a visual documentation of the beauty,<br />
history, health and viability of the Yaquina<br />
Watershed. Through experiencing these<br />
poetic landscape interpretations, a benchmark<br />
is offered for sustaining this significant<br />
environment for forests, fish and wildlife. This<br />
artist’s vision emphasizes the benefits of the<br />
watershed, which provides employment, a water<br />
source, healthy air quality, and recreational<br />
venues for the region. This stunning exhibit will<br />
inform current and future generations about<br />
the effects of changing climate and the human<br />
impact on the environment. Its viewing will<br />
encourage others to visit the Yaquina region and<br />
seek out the many experiences it has to offer.<br />
ARTIST STATEMENT<br />
Born in Portland in 1943 and a fifth generation<br />
Oregonian, Michael Gibbons was actively<br />
painting the Oregon landscape for 55 years.<br />
He continued working in his signature style<br />
to create intimate views of the ever-changing<br />
Northwest landscape until his death in 2020.<br />
Preferring to work alone, Michael isolated<br />

himself among the trees and waterways where<br />
he could listen to the “voice of the land.” The<br />
artist used the painter’s tools to give substance<br />
to that voice and spirit by communicating space,<br />
color, form and light through his innate talent<br />
and refined execution. “What is painted is of<br />
secondary importance; how it is painted is<br />
the critical aspect. It is in the execution of the<br />
painting that the possibility of interaction with<br />
it takes place,” he said.<br />
Michael Gibbons’ paintings communicate<br />
nature’s sacred voices onto a painted surface for<br />
the viewer to experience and to become part of<br />
and respond to. “All of the world we experience,<br />
every human being, every bush, every tree, and<br />
every rock is a gift to us for this part of our<br />
earthly experience,” he said.<br />
When en plein air (in the landscape), he would<br />
come to a place that felt right to him, then<br />
pause, find a bush he could hang on to and grab<br />
a branch. “‘How would you like to be seen?’” he<br />
would ask. “You can almost hear the chorus of<br />
the different trees. It’s a sense. You don’t hear<br />
words, but the language is right there. It’s a<br />
living being.”<br />

ARTSEA<br />
CRAFTSEA<br />
OPENS IN<br />
SOUTH<br />
BEACH<br />
After a decades-long career in the hospitality industry<br />
in Colorado, a recent transplant to the Oregon coast<br />
made a decision to do something fun for a living.<br />
Lara Lubinski opened Artsea Craftsea, a paint-yourown<br />
pottery business located in the former South<br />
Beach Post Office. Lubinski said all the pieces fell<br />
into place once she moved to the central coast in<br />
2020.<br />
After staying at places all along the coast, Lubinski<br />
said Newport seemed like the right spot to start<br />
a business, but finding a retail rental took her six<br />
months. When she went to the former post office,<br />
Lubinski knew she had a winner.<br />
She had the idea to create a place that locals and<br />
tourists could enjoy even in bad weather. “I kept<br />
seeing posts on Facebook that people were looking<br />
for things to do, and it’s fun,” she said.<br />
The community of Newport has embraced Lubinski<br />
and her start-up business. “They just took me in and<br />
want me to succeed,” she said.<br />
Artsea Craftsea has nearly 200 unique pieces of<br />
ceramics for guests to choose from. The selection<br />
includes dishware, holiday decor, pet bowls, piggy<br />
banks, figurines and planters, which come with a<br />
complimentary plant.<br />
With 62 different glazes, technique and video, and a<br />
variety of silk screen patterns to trace, Lubinski takes<br />
the finished pottery, adds a food and dishwasher safe<br />
glaze and fires it in a kiln. The process takes between<br />
seven to 10 days to complete after which the artist<br />
can pick up their finished products.<br />
She also has mosaic tiles for board creations. Anyone<br />
who uses the glass will be sent home with grout to<br />
finish the piece.<br />

Lara Lubinski is the owner of Artsea Craftsea, a paint-your-own pottery business located at 4909 S Coast Highway<br />
in South Beach. The hours are Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 4 p.m., and Thursdays and<br />
Fridays, from noon to 7 p.m. (Photos by Susan Schuytema)<br />
The studio is a great place for special occasions<br />
and parties for kids and adults, team building for<br />
businesses, a girl’s night out or a guy’s night out.<br />
Lubinski said parties can be held during<br />
regular business hours or rented after hours. Walkins<br />
are welcome, but parties over six should<br />
make reservations.<br />
Costs range from $20 to $145 for the largest<br />
pieces. Parties have a minimum of a $200<br />
pottery purchase. The average time for a<br />
project is one-and-a-half hours.<br />
Eventually, Lubinski would like to incorporate<br />
other popular crafts and would like to bring<br />
in instructors to teach classes. Attendees in<br />
an upcoming class, for example, will make<br />
driftwood<br />
wreaths. “It doesn’t have to be pottery or<br />
painting,” Lubinski said. “Just someone who<br />
has a talent they want to share.” She is also<br />
looking to get some of the mobile paint and<br />
sip classes scheduled as well.<br />
Artsea Craftsea is located at 4909 S Coast<br />
Highway in South Beach. The hours are<br />
Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from<br />
noon to 4 p.m., and Thursdays and Fridays,<br />
from noon to 7 p.m. The studio is closed on<br />
Mondays and Tuesdays and may be closed for<br />
special events.<br />
If anyone is interested in hosting an event,<br />
contact Lubinski for more information at<br />
lara@artseacrafts.com or 458-868-9125. And<br />

People can create a wide variety of ceramic art<br />
projects at Artsea Craftsea. The selection includes<br />
dishware, holiday decor, pet bowls, piggy banks,<br />

WOMEN<br />
PUBLISH<br />
ADVENTURE<br />
NOVEL<br />
The close friendship of three Newport women —<br />
Carla Perry, Sara Lou Heimlich and Jess Bondy<br />
— has led to the publication of their first novel,<br />
filled with adventure and romance, and laced<br />
with real-life livability challenges.<br />
The trio of authors of “The Jew Girls Adventure<br />
Series: You Can Call Me Andy” have been<br />
friends for 20 years. They decided to create a<br />
book that spoke to their many long, serious and<br />
humorous debates around the dinner table, but<br />
the underlying goal has always been to help each<br />
other stay sane during COVID, and to have fun.<br />
“When COVID started, we were able to get<br />
together in our isolated bubble,” said Carla<br />
Perry, one of the book’s authors. “I wrote up a<br />
proposal and asked if anyone wanted to write a<br />
book. I was looking at it as a way to have more<br />
joy in my life.”<br />
“My thought was, ‘let’s see where it goes,’”<br />
said fellow author Jess Bondy. “Carla was<br />
our inspiration. I never knew I’d be involved<br />
with the creative process, but it gave me some<br />
confidence to do something new.”<br />
“We wrote mostly to keep ourselves sane during<br />
COVID,” added author Sara Heimlich. “We<br />
would tell each other stories about growing up.”<br />
A trio of Newport authors — Carla Perry, Sara Lou Heimlich and Jess Bondy — recently released their new book, “The<br />
Jew Girls Adventure Series: You Can Call Me Andy.” (Courtesy photo)<br />
“It’s truly been a collaborative process,” said<br />
Bondy. “The process was new and fresh to me.<br />
We would get together and have fun. And we’d<br />
take our time.”<br />
“It was writing by committee,” Heimlich said.<br />
“We spent months developing characters before<br />
we ever started to write,” Perry said. They<br />
devoted those months to getting to know the<br />
characters, each friend taking one character and<br />
developing its mannerisms and personality.<br />
“Once we had a character, they could be put<br />
into any structure and we’d know how they<br />
<strong>OC</strong> WAVES • VOL <strong>3.3</strong><br />
would react,” said Perry, noting they taped<br />
conversations, then transcribed them for<br />
dialogue.<br />
But in spite of the work, the women had fun,<br />
which was the point of their effort. “The best<br />
time was when all of a sudden, something<br />
clicked and we’d all start laughing,” Bondy said.<br />
The book follows three Jewish friends “of a<br />
certain age” as they visit Maui to save a solar<br />
project. Also traveling with them is Andy,<br />
a talking German shepherd/collie “Secret<br />
Service” dog, inspired by a dog once owned by<br />
BY LESLIE O’DONNELL<br />
Perry. A pet iguana awaits their return home.<br />
The authors weave a story that starts out seeking<br />
revenge and quickly becomes a fast-paced<br />
adventure. In Maui they encounter nefarious<br />
characters, end up at a Jewish commune’s<br />
Purim celebration, and sleuth their way to a<br />
seat at the table of a solar investment group. It’s<br />
full of shenanigans, romance, and long-lasting<br />
friendship even as the trio plots to solve reallife<br />
livability problems in Newport. And just<br />
as inescapable as it is in today’s world is the<br />
presence in the background of “a certain big<br />

in Florida.“<br />
The three main characters frequent locations<br />
local readers are likely to know, with references<br />
to such places as Oceana Natural Foods Coop<br />
and the Lincoln County Humane Society thrift<br />
shop.<br />
The book also touches on local issues, including<br />
affordable housing, sexism and solar power. And<br />
the authors say there are places in the book that<br />
still make them laugh out loud.<br />
And then there are the Jewish holidays —<br />
celebrated together by the authors as well as the<br />
book’s main characters. Both the writers and<br />
their creations affectionately call themselves the<br />
Jew Girls.<br />
The book is published by Bubbelah Press, a new<br />
imprint of Dancing Moon Press. Bubbelah is a<br />
Yiddish term of endearment, which falls right<br />
within the writers’ description of the book as<br />
filled with fun and joy.<br />
And it’s not over — Perry has started a file for<br />
the group’s next book. “It’s our hobby,” she<br />
said. The authors say the book is reminiscent of<br />
the Nancy Drew adventure series.<br />
While Heimlich and Bondy are new to fiction<br />
writing — Heimlich was a whale biologist and<br />
graphic artist and Bondy was a senior planner<br />
with Lincoln County for more than 30 years —<br />
Perry brings decades of experience as an awardwinning<br />
writer and publisher and founded<br />
Writers On The Edge and the Nye Beach<br />
Writers’ Series. She has written several books of<br />
poetry and the novel “Riva Beside Me,” which<br />
was transformed into a stage play.<br />
Former local resident Sarah Gayle created the<br />
cover illustrations of Maui and Newport.<br />
While the three writers are Jewish, they each<br />
came to embrace their culture later in life.<br />
“I always knew the book was going to be Jewishbased<br />
because we were the Jew Girls to ourselves<br />
— that’s what we’ve affectionately called ourselves<br />
for years,” Perry said. ”And that’s why the title of<br />
the book is “The Jew Girls Adventure Series.”<br />
Some people may see that as a derogatory name,<br />
but that’s far from what is intended. “As we<br />
worked on the book, we felt it was very natural<br />
to use that term,” Perry said. “We knew some<br />
people might take offense, but it came naturally<br />
to us. It is an affectionate term.”<br />
Heimlich said they discussed the title and<br />
the possibility people might be offended, but<br />
emphasized, “it’s an endearing term that we use<br />
ourselves.”<br />
“We stand by it,” Bondy added.<br />
And while writing the book has added to the<br />
trio’s closeness, it has also boosted their sense<br />
of being Jewish.<br />
“I was not raised religious but I always felt<br />
culturally connected,” Bondy said. “Having this<br />
group of friends is very meaningful and helps<br />
me connect to Judaism. The Jew Girls was our<br />
eating group!”<br />
“We told stories about how we ended up in<br />
Newport and how our ancestors ended up<br />
where they did,” Perry added.<br />
Heimlich said the group’s Passover Seder meals<br />
began more than 20 years ago — Perry was<br />
invited to host them because she had a table<br />
that could seat 14.<br />
“And we all knew how to make the food,” Bondy<br />
said. “When I think about our boisterous<br />
conversations, I can taste the chopped chicken<br />
liver!”<br />
“Every year it fills me with identity, connects<br />
me, and gives me hope,” Perry said.<br />
Heimlich added that attending the Passover<br />
meals taught her what it means to be a Jew in a<br />
way that makes sense to her.<br />
“I’m proud to have my name on the book,”<br />
Bondy said.<br />
“It’s been fun,” Perry concluded. “That’s why we<br />
did it, and it worked.”<br />
Copies of the book will be for sale (cash or<br />
check only) and available for signing during<br />
a book reading is set for the Nye Beach Book<br />
House, 727 NW Third St., from noon to 2 p.m.<br />
Dec. 10.<br />
The book can also be borrowed from local<br />
libraries.<br />

BICYCLING AROUND THE GLOBE<br />
Couple from Netherlands<br />
is two years into<br />
decade-long journey<br />
It’s a pretty normal thing to see bicycles loaded<br />
with gear traveling down Highway 101 through<br />
Lincoln County. Some are heading out for a<br />
few days while others may be journeying further<br />
and longer. But there are very few of these twowheeled<br />
travelers who have set their sights as high<br />
as Ben van Baardwyk and Linda Reimersdahl.<br />
This couple, from the Netherlands, embarked<br />
on a world bicycle tour two years ago, and they<br />
expect their journey to last about 10 years.<br />
The couple spent a few days in Lincoln County<br />
in October while waiting for repairs to Ben’s<br />
bicycle, and the News-Times caught up with<br />
them on the deck outside Bike Newport.<br />
When asked how this vision of a global tour<br />
originated, Ben said, “In my mid 50s, I was<br />
thinking already about early retirement. I<br />
worked at a social housing company, and I was<br />
a project manager for building new housing<br />
for the company. I was already bicycling a lot<br />
… and I did a lot of tours, almost every week,<br />
and sometimes I did a longer tour in Norway or<br />
from Italy back to the Netherlands or in Spain.<br />
And I liked it so much that I was thinking about<br />
an early retirement and cycling the world on a<br />
bicycle … but I was just thinking about it.”<br />
And then he met Linda. “She was new at the<br />
company, (and) there was lightening between<br />
us,” said Ben. “Then Linda told me she wasn’t<br />
that happy with her new job and she was thinking<br />
about hiking to Santiago de Compostela in<br />
Spain. I said to her, ‘Are you crazy? Don’t go<br />
walking, take a bicycle, and don’t stop in Spain.’<br />
She thought about cycling the world with me<br />
together, and she said yes, and then I proposed<br />
to her, we got married, and then we are two<br />
people with the same dream.”<br />
They started planning their adventure in 2018,<br />
and it officially began on June 15, 2020.<br />
“We went from the Netherlands through<br />
Croatia, Albania and then all the way down<br />
Linda Reimersdahl and Ben van Baardwyk are pictured in the summer of 2021, bicycling their way to Nordkapp in<br />
Norway. (Courtesy photos)<br />
to Greece,” Linda said. “And then we decided<br />
it doesn’t look good enough to go to Asia, the<br />
borders were still closed, we couldn’t get a VISA,<br />
so we headed from Greece to Norway — we went<br />
through Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Baltic<br />
states, all the way up north.”<br />
“To the northern point of Europe, what you<br />
can reach with a bicycle,” said Ben, “and then<br />
down to the Norwegian coastline, down to<br />
Sweden, Denmark, Germany. We were down to<br />
the Netherlands so we said hello to our parents<br />
and friends.”<br />
They took winter breaks of about three months<br />
after each of the first two years.<br />
“First year we had three months winter break in<br />
Greece, and then the second year we had three<br />
months winter break in the Netherlands, again<br />
because we were passing through,” said Ben.<br />
“And then we decided to change continents.<br />
Due to COVID, it was easier to go to a big<br />
country (less borders) so we went to London,<br />
South Hampton, England, where we took a ship<br />
to New York.” The arrived in New York on May<br />
1 of this year.<br />
From New York, they headed north through<br />
New England and then on into New Brunswick,<br />
Canada. They then cycled Canada coast to<br />
coast, entering the United States again on the<br />
West Coast at Port Angeles, Washington, and<br />
now they are working their way south — they are<br />
planning to take their next winter break in the<br />
warm climate of Mexico.<br />
When asked to name a highlight of the journey<br />
thus far, Ben said, “There’s one highlight<br />
especially — all the people we meet. Every day is<br />
an adventure. We never know where we’re going<br />
to end up. At the end of the day we always meet<br />

adventure.”<br />
In Lincoln County, they were welcomed to the<br />
home of Lucinda and Jeff Taylor, of Depoe Bay.<br />
After bicycling across Canada and arriving at Port Angeles, Washington, this fall, Ben van Baardwyk and Linda<br />
Reimersdahl are heading south down the West Coast. They are pictured Oct. 4 during a layover in Rockaway Beach.<br />
“We were outside doing yard work, and we<br />
saw them approaching,” Lucinda said. “It was<br />
obvious that they were not local bicyclists; they<br />
were traveling a long distance.” Ben and Linda<br />
explained to the Taylors what they were doing<br />
and asked if they could spend the night. “After<br />
just chatting with them for a few minutes, we<br />
felt comfortable saying ‘yes, sure, come on in<br />
and spend the night,’” Lucinda said. “It’s been<br />
delightful getting to know them, learning a little<br />
bit about the Netherlands, their travels, in some<br />
of their photos the scenery is just gorgeous.”<br />
When it was discovered they would need to stay<br />
a couple of extra days in the area for the bike<br />
repair, the Taylors invited them to spend that<br />
extra time at their house.<br />
As part of this global adventure, Ben and Linda<br />
have formed a foundation called XPLORid<br />
(www.xplorid.today).<br />
“The reason why we travel this way, why we<br />
knock on the door, is because one of the<br />
main purposes of our world tour is to meet as<br />
many local people as possible,” Ben said. “And<br />
that’s why we started a foundation. With that<br />
foundation, we collect money — one euro,<br />
one dollar for each kilometer we cycle, and<br />
we want to cycle 100,000 kilometers, so that<br />
equals $100,000. And the money we collect we<br />
spend on people we meet who need help. All<br />
the hospitality we get we pay forward to other<br />
people who need it, or we support organizations<br />
who need help. So if people want to buy some<br />
kilometers, they are welcome to give a donation.”<br />
All of that information is on their website.<br />
To date, Ben and Linda have traveled around<br />
29,000 kilometers (more than 18,000 miles). As<br />
for their daily goal, “It depends on the day, on<br />
how we feel, but about 40 miles is the average,”<br />
said Linda.<br />
Linda Reimersdahl and Ben van Baardwyk, from the Netherlands, are pictured atop the Rocky Mountains in Canada,<br />
headed from Banff to Jasper in mid August. The couple is more than two years into an estimated 10-year adventure<br />
of bicycling around the globe.<br />
such nice people who are so hospitable, and they<br />
invite us to their homes and it’s unbelievable.<br />
And there’s not one country where that is not<br />
the case. It’s everywhere.”<br />
Linda echoed his remarks. “Everywhere people<br />
are very friendly when they hear about our<br />
story. At 4 o’clock each day, we simply look for<br />
a nice house with flowers, with a nice garden<br />
<strong>OC</strong> WAVES • VOL <strong>3.3</strong><br />
or well painted, and then we knock on the<br />
door and explain our situation and ask if we<br />
can stay for one night. Sometimes people are<br />
at first flabbergasted because it doesn’t happen<br />
often. The beautiful part is most of the time<br />
when we leave again in the morning, people<br />
thank us for knocking on their door. We meet<br />
many nice people, and we get to have the true,<br />
local experience, which is a huge part of our<br />
And although they expect to be living this<br />
lifestyle for quite a few more years, “We try to<br />
live in the moment, not to plan too much ahead,<br />
what can happen,” Ben said. “We probably are<br />
10 years on the road, but it’s just one day after<br />
another … I don’t know where I’ll be next week,<br />
what I’ll do next week or who I’ll meet next<br />
week, or tomorrow.”<br />
Linda added, “It’s always a big surprise for us,<br />
but also for the people who we meet. So it’s a<br />
real big adventure.”<br />

THE HAYSTACKS<br />
(AND OTHER R<strong>OC</strong>KS)<br />
There are at least two monoliths dubbed “Haystack Rock” on the Oregon<br />
coast. Interestingly, the one that is better known and brands itself as in the<br />
top-three largest such rocks in the world is the smaller of the two.<br />
Haystack Rock at Cape Kiwanda in Tillamook County is about 100 feet taller<br />
than its counterpart at Cannon Beach — though it stands about 340 feet<br />
tall, it’s appears smaller because it is further away, about ½ mile off shore,<br />
inaccessible at low tide unlike its 235-foot Tolovana twin.<br />
A rock near Bandon has also been given the Haystack moniker, but it is less<br />
than 100 feet tall. There are also three summits in the state’s interior called<br />
Haystack Rock.<br />
Both massive basalt seamounts north of the Salmon River likely have the<br />
same origin — a gargantuan lava flow that eventually spread over thousands<br />
of square miles, on the west side digging out the Columbia River Gorge and<br />
pushing all the way to the sea along the ancient riverbeds of the Miocene,<br />
about 23 million years ago.<br />
The geologic event created much of the unique landscape of the Three Capes<br />
Scenic Route, Cannon Beach, and generally along the central and north<br />
Oregon coast.<br />
Another formation at Kiwanda, a hoodoo rock dubbed the Duckbill, was<br />
destroyed by vandals in 2016.<br />
According to the Anchorge Daily News:<br />
When park officials first discovered the destroyed formation in the Cape<br />
Kiwanda State Natural Area late last week, they assumed it had fallen<br />
naturally. But video shared with local media over the weekend appeared<br />
to show a group of people toppling the top-heavy structure, prompting<br />
an Oregon State Police investigation.<br />
A six-second clip posted online shows three men jostling the precarious<br />
rock sandstone pedestal … Someone, apparently a witness, swears at<br />
what he sees; the rock tumbles to the ground with a thud; someone else<br />
screams, ‘Got him!’<br />
After the rock fell, (the people recording the video) confronted the<br />
group. The group apparently felt they were doing a public service: A<br />
friend had broken a leg on the formation; it was a safety hazard, they<br />
said.<br />
The perpetrators have never been caught.<br />
All the big rocks of the Oregon coastline are now part of the protected<br />
Oregon Islands Wildlife Sanctuary, with the exception of Tillamook Rock,<br />
site of the abandoned “Terrible Tilly” lighthouse. The route along the coast<br />
from Tillamook Rock, actually in Clatsop County, to Proposal Rock south<br />
of Pacific City leads travelers past six shoreline monoliths — Tillamook,<br />
Haystack, Twin Rocks, Three Arch Rocks, Haystack and Proposal. Proposal<br />
Rock is located within the Neskowin ghost forest.<br />

STACKED PEAR<br />
Stacked Pear With Fresh Goat Cheese<br />
and Candied Walnuts with Maple Cider<br />
Vinaigrette<br />
This recipe, “Stacked Pear With Fresh<br />
Goat Cheese and Candied Walnuts<br />
with Maple Cider Vinaigrette,” was<br />
and inspired by my good friend, Cindy<br />

statement dish. It can stand alone or<br />
accompany any meal. The recipe is<br />
delicious and super easy.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 2 pears, sliced in ½-inch horizontal slices<br />
leaving red stem on top piece.<br />
• 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles<br />
• 2 cups fresh arugula or spinach<br />
• Lemon juice<br />
• Brown butter pecans<br />
• Maple cider vinaigrette<br />
Directions<br />
Remove the core/seeds from the pears,<br />
brush with lemon juice.<br />
Toss the greens and cheese to lightly<br />
dress with the vinaigrette salad dressing.<br />
Assemble on a serving plate in this<br />
order: pear, greens, cheese, dressing<br />
nuts and repeat. Drizzle with additional<br />
dressing.<br />
BRAIDED<br />
BREAD<br />
This bread recipe is one of my childhood<br />
favorites. It’s soft, buttery and flaky. My<br />
mom’s best friend, Vicky Telford, made<br />
it every time we went to her house. She<br />
is the one who gave me this recipe — I<br />
changed it a little.<br />
It’s super fun to roll out the three<br />
balls of dough into ropes. I always enjoy<br />
working on my braiding skills.<br />
This delicious bread is perfect for a<br />
dinner party or gathering. It pairs with<br />
butter and jam.<br />
Yeast mixture:<br />
1 Tablespoon of active dry yeast.<br />
1-1/4 warm water<br />
Pinch of sugar<br />
Combine these three ingredients in a<br />
bowl or glass measuring cup. Stir gently<br />
with a fork and cover to let it rise in a<br />
warm, draft free spot. I set it on top of<br />
my oven. Usually takes 5-10 minutes for<br />
it to rise.<br />
Dry ingredients:<br />
1/4 cup of vegetable oil or melted butter<br />
2 whole eggs<br />
1/2 sugar<br />
1/2 teaspoon of salt (I use French gray salt)<br />
4-1/2 cups of white unbleached flour (I use<br />
4-1/3 cups of Kamut flour)<br />
Add both bowls of ingredients together<br />
once the yeast mixture has risen and<br />
forms bubbles. Alternating yeast mixture<br />
and dry ingredients until the dough is<br />
smooth, not sticky or dry.<br />
Knead for 4-5 minutes and then cover<br />
the bowl with a dish towel and let it rise<br />
until it’s doubled in size.<br />
Take dough out of the bowl, divide<br />
evenly into three balls. Roll each ball<br />
out to the same size in a rope shape on a<br />
floured surface. Lay the three ropes next<br />
to each other, side by side. Start braiding<br />
in the middle out to each end.<br />
Use a large baking tray, lightly spray<br />
the tray with oil. Move the braid onto<br />
the tray and let it rise again until double.<br />
Melt some salted butter and lightly brush<br />
the top of the braided loaf before baking.<br />
Optional: sprinkle poppy seeds over the<br />
top.<br />
Bake at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes<br />
depending on your oven. Brush again<br />
with butter when you pull the bread out<br />
of the oven. It’s a great bread to set in the<br />
middle of the table and pull apart to eat.<br />

OREGON<br />
BLUEBERRY<br />
RECIPES<br />
Fall is quickly moving in, and the fresh Oregon<br />
coast berries are just as quickly disappearing.<br />
Thankfully there’s a delicious alternative that<br />
doesn’t require any expert foraging skills to enjoy<br />
— blueberries from your local market.<br />
Oregon is among the top producing states in<br />
the nation for blueberries, harvesting around 150<br />
million pounds annually, so there are plenty of<br />
blueberries during the peak of harvest season to<br />
freeze and enjoy throughout the rest of the year.<br />
Most growers use what is called the Individually<br />
Quick Frozen (IQF) process, which locks in this<br />
nutrition at the optimal stage, and these berries<br />
are usually frozen within 24 hours of harvest —<br />
at the height of nutrient value. They can remain<br />
frozen for up to a year without losing their flavor<br />
or valuable nutrients, and Oregon blueberries are<br />
certainly packed with valuable nutrients!<br />
Oregon blueberries provide essential vitamins<br />
and antioxidants, and their antioxidant<br />
compounds help to immobilize free radicals<br />
in the body. Free radicals are associated with<br />
heart disease, memory loss, certain cancers and<br />
motor deterioration. Aside from their anti-aging<br />
properties, Oregon blueberries also offer other<br />
incredible health benefits. They support immune<br />
health with 15 percent of our daily vitamin<br />
C requirement, improve vision, clear arteries,<br />
strengthen blood vessels, stop urinary tract<br />
infections and promote weight control — one cup<br />
of blueberries contains only 80 calories, and just<br />
one serving of blueberries can help us meet our<br />
daily fiber requirement.<br />
Thanks to over 350 blueberry growers in<br />
Oregon, we’re able to enjoy the delightful<br />
experience of eating blueberries all year round.<br />
So grab some frozen or dried blueberries to whip<br />
up these incredibly delicious Oregon blueberry<br />
recipes. Your heart, brain and other body parts<br />
will thank you.<br />

Let me tell you a little story about our hen<br />
named Guadalupe, now known as “Guadalupe<br />
the Super Chicken.”<br />
Guadalupe is a hen from our original flock<br />
of chickens, making her about 5 years old now.<br />
She arrived Easter morning with her sisters as an<br />
Easter surprise for our little ones when we owned<br />
our 100-year-old farm house in Oregon City. She<br />
eventually made her move with us to the coast<br />
when we moved to Waldport about three years<br />
ago.<br />
Guadalupe is an Ameraucana breed, which is<br />
known for their beautiful markings, adorable eartufts<br />
(which look like puffy little cheeks) and their<br />
green-blue eggs. They’re also really smart birds.<br />
Guadalupe had figured out early on how to escape<br />
from our coop to roam free in the yard —no matter<br />
how many times we mended the fence she still<br />
managed to find a way out. Of course living here<br />
in Waldport, we are always fearful of the coyotes,<br />
hawks and other predators that regularly express<br />

interest in trying to get to our chickens.<br />
But sadly, on May 4 of this year, Guadalupe was<br />
attacked by a predator we hadn’t considered — our<br />
neighbor’s dog. In fact, I hadn’t ever even seen our<br />
neighbor’s dog until that afternoon when both<br />
animals wandered into places they shouldn’t have<br />
been. Guadalupe ended up being very seriously<br />
injured by the dog, and I was certain when I pulled<br />
her free that she was dead. She was lifeless, and of<br />
her feathers had been ripped out on her backside<br />
and she had very deep puncture wounds all over<br />
her body. The kids and I quickly ran her into the<br />
house and, without skipping a beat, my little ones<br />
jumped into action grabbing supplies to get her<br />
cleaned up, even running out to the coop to get her<br />
some bedding and food to make her comfortable<br />
in the house. We were certain that she wasn’t going<br />
to make it because she was in bad shape, but we<br />
were doing everything we could think of to help<br />
get her comfortable in the meantime. That first<br />
day she was eating and drinking a little, but by the<br />
next day she had given up and appeared that she<br />
was allowing herself to die. We were heartbroken<br />
and so was our neighbor. It broke his heart seeing<br />
how sad the kids were and how badly his dog had<br />
injured Guadalupe.<br />
As luck would have it, that very same day we had<br />
eggs in an incubator that had started to hatch, and<br />
for whatever reason, we decided to put Guadalupe<br />
in with the new baby chicks. Almost immediately,<br />
those babies gave her a reason to live. She began<br />
eating and drinking and very slowly, over the next<br />
couple of months, began to heal.<br />
Once it was time to introduce those new baby<br />
chicks to our flock of chickens, we thought that<br />
would be a good time to transition Guadalupe out<br />
of the house and back into the coop as well. But<br />
sadly, the rest of the flock immediately rejected<br />
Guadalupe and began attacking her. Chickens can<br />
be sweet and wonderful creatures, but they can<br />
34<br />
also be jerks, and a pecking order isn’t just a clever<br />
phrase — it’s a real thing, and somehow due to the<br />
magnitude of her injuries, Guadalupe was now at<br />
the very bottom of that pecking order.<br />
Over the next few weeks we tried a few more<br />
times to reintroduce her back to the flock with the<br />
same results every time. So Guadalupe officially<br />
found herself a new home, in the house, and quite<br />
frankly has loved every minute of it.<br />
She now spends her time snacking on the kids’<br />
leftovers, like a little dog wandering around under<br />
the dining table as they eat, picking up their<br />
crumbs, she lays around lazily on the deck in the<br />
sunshine with the cats who have lovingly adopted<br />
her as one of their own, and pecks at the sliding<br />
glass door around dusk to let us know that she’s<br />
ready to come back in the house for the night.<br />
On evenings that we’re having a family movie<br />
night and all snuggled on the couch together,<br />
Guadalupe, now as an active member of the Wiley<br />
family, doesn’t want to be left out, so she hops up<br />
onto the couch to snuggle in with us. Do I love<br />
having a chicken on the couch? Absolutely not,<br />
but she knows she’s safe and loved and will live<br />
out the remainder of her years as a comfortable<br />
house chicken.<br />
As for our neighbor, he was just as surprised<br />
as any of us that Guadalupe survived the attack,<br />
and although this absolutely wasn’t his fault at all<br />
because both animals were in places they shouldn’t<br />
have been, he felt so terrible about what happened<br />
to Guadalupe that he had T-shirts made for the<br />
kids with a giant photo of Guadalupe on the<br />
front of them that reads “Guadalupe the Super<br />
Chicken.” So Guadalupe is now living her best life<br />
with some awesome apparel to prove it.<br />
Thanks to Guadalupe and our other hens, we<br />
always have an abundance of eggs — although<br />
Guadalupe thinks it’s appropriate to lay eggs<br />
behind the chair in my bedroom ... but that’s a<br />
story for a different day — to create delicious and<br />
super nutritious dishes like this Dungeness Crab<br />
Omelet.<br />
Dungeness Crab Omelet<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 3 eggs<br />
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream<br />
• 1 teaspoon minced chives, plus extra for<br />
garnish<br />
• 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt<br />
• 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper<br />
• 1 tablespoon butter<br />
• 2 slices of provolone cheese<br />
• 1/2 cup lump Dungeness crab meat<br />
• 1/2 avocado, sliced<br />
Directions:<br />
• Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the<br />
chives, heavy cream, salt and pepper to the eggs,<br />
then whisk with a fork until frothy.<br />
• Heat a 10-inch, non-stick skillet over medium<br />
heat. Add the butter, and swirl until it melts. Once<br />
melted, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Swirl<br />
the pan to cover the bottom with an even layer<br />
of eggs.<br />
• Cook the eggs covered over medium-low heat<br />
until the edges are firm and the center is just barely<br />
cooked through, 3-4 minutes.<br />
• Place provolone cheese slices over one half<br />
of the omelet. Top the cheese with the lump crab<br />
meat and avocado, then sprinkle with more chives.<br />
• Using a spatula, fold the empty half of the<br />
eggs over to form a half circle. Remove from heat,<br />
and transfer to a plate. Sprinkle with additional<br />
fresh chives to taste, and garnish with more lump<br />
crab meat. Serve immediately.<br />
CARAMEL APPLE<br />
PUMPKIN SEEDS<br />
Here we are, already carving pumpkins and<br />
roasting pumpkin seeds, and I feel like I haven’t<br />
even accomplished all I set out to do during the<br />
spring and summer yet. Where has the time gone?<br />
Time is a tricky thing, it ticks away while<br />
we postpone plans with family and friends,<br />
put off doing things we’ve been wanting to do,<br />
procrastinate planning that trip or adventure and<br />
ultimately delay creating memories until a more<br />
convenient time — later realizing that we will never<br />
be able to make up for that time lost.<br />
As we head into the holiday season when time<br />
seems to move the fastest with family gatherings,<br />
parties, events and celebrations, let’s remember<br />
that being present is what’s most important, not<br />
only to create our own lasting memories but<br />
because time is the most valuable gift we can give<br />
those who mean the most to us.<br />
Kick off the holiday season by carving out time<br />
to make a batch of these Caramel Apple Pumpkin<br />
Seeds. Not only is pumpkin carving a great way to<br />
spend time together as a family, but these delicious<br />
seeds make a great gift for friends and neighbors,<br />

• In a large mixing bowl, pour that Apple Pie<br />
Cinnamon Spice BBQ Rub butter mixture over<br />
cleaned pumpkin seeds.<br />
• Spread pumpkin seeds on large parchment<br />
lined baking sheet.<br />
• Bake for approximately one hour (smaller<br />
batches will take less time, so if you’re adjusting the<br />
<strong>OC</strong> WAVES • VOL <strong>3.3</strong><br />
recipe for less seeds, you’ll need to cut the baking<br />
time down as well). Bake until lightly browned<br />
and caramelized, stirring occasionally during the<br />
roasting process.<br />
• Remove from oven and let cool about 15<br />
minutes.<br />
• Enjoy!<br />
VENISON<br />
LASAGNA SOUP<br />
With the return of the rain and that dreaded<br />
time of year when we have to set our clocks back<br />
for the end of daylight savings, I think we can<br />
officially declare that we are entering comfort food<br />
season — and do I have the ultimate comfort food<br />
for you this week with this Venison Lasagna Soup.<br />
Comfort foods aren’t just an expression either,<br />
they really do provide both emotional comfort<br />
as well as reduce stress hormones in our bodies.<br />
A number of studies show that people feel less<br />
depressed, anxious and irritable after consuming<br />
carbohydrate-rich foods due to the fact that<br />
eating these starchy foods helps our bodies<br />
make serotonin, which makes us feel calmer and<br />
decreases the stress hormone called cortisol.<br />
And although these comfort foods should be<br />
eaten in moderation, I think this Venison Lasagna<br />
Directions:<br />
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add<br />
ground venison and cook until brown. If there’s a<br />
lot of excess fat, drain it then set aside.<br />
• In the same pot, reduce heat to medium,<br />
add olive oil then onion and garlic, and continue<br />
cooking for 4-5 minutes.<br />
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste,<br />
chicken stock and Good Fella Italian seasoning.<br />
If you prefer a smoother soup base (my husband<br />
doesn’t love chunky crushed tomatoes) at this<br />
point, blend with an immersion hand blender<br />
until smooth.<br />
• Increase the heat to high and bring the<br />
soup to a boil. Add lasagna noodles (broken into<br />
bite-sized pieces) then continue to gently boil<br />
until noodles are cooked — approximately 10-15<br />
minutes. Occasionally stir to make sure pasta isn’t<br />
sticking to the bottom of the pot.<br />
• Once pasta is cooked, remove from heat and<br />
stir in fresh basil and parsley and season with salt<br />
and pepper as needed.<br />
• For serving, top each bowl with a dollop<br />
of ricotta and a small handful of mozzarella and<br />
parmesan and enjoy!<br />

FISHERMAN, 10,<br />
CONQUERS NORTH<br />
POINT<br />
DEPOE BAY — While other kids his age were spending their school<br />
“snow day” in front of an X-Box or a TV set, 10-year-old Dakota Laford<br />
sized-up a deep, watery fissure that stood between him and a fish-filled honey<br />
hole at North Point.<br />
Carefully taking the measure of the crevasse, he sprang from a boulder<br />
and soared over the rift to the rocky bluff beyond, landing like a fly on a wall.<br />
“Fishing here is kind of an adventure,” reasoned Laford, who likes<br />
electronic games but would rather tie a hoochie with a surgeon’s knot and<br />
cast for trophy gamefish half his size. “You have to climb, jump and crawl to<br />
get to the right spot, but then pow, pow, pow, a fish with every cast.”<br />

adult companions on a crisp midweek<br />
afternoon. Following a weeklong<br />
storm, the ocean was flat and<br />
clear enough to see swarms of fish<br />
schooling along the reef.<br />
Experts say North Point is one<br />
of the great fishing spots in a town<br />
lined with angling opportunity.<br />
A volcanic massif of basalt rock,<br />
the reef juts 100 yards into Depoe<br />
Bay. Sure-footed fishermen can<br />
reach the site from a slippery<br />
nature trail carved by city workers.<br />
“There are five miles of<br />
headlands in Depoe Bay and<br />
everywhere there’s a rock, there’s<br />
a fish,” said Ray Horn, a Portland<br />
angler who spends his weekends<br />
in Depoe Bay. “But North Point<br />
is special, when the conditions are<br />
favorable. If they’re not, you can<br />
get into big trouble.”<br />

The weather was perfect, however, as Laford released some of his catch<br />
while slipping trophy-sized fish into a nearby tidepool for safekeeping. The<br />
action was fast from a flat pan of rock as the young angler decked bass after<br />
bass.<br />
“You cast like this,” he said, giving his rig an overhead toss into 20-foot<br />
shallows. “Then, you just kind of bring it back slow and steady for the fish<br />
to get a look. Maybe you’ll get a sea trout, which you can use as bait. The<br />
ling cod love them.”<br />
Depoe Bay is a training ground for young anglers such as Laford, according<br />
to Dan Dettman, who taught his daughters, now grown, to land bread-loafsized<br />
perch from nearby South Point.<br />
“To a kid, Depoe Bay is a fishing paradise,” he said. “You hop on your bike<br />

HOLIDAY EVENTS CENTRAL OREGON COAST<br />
FLORENCE<br />
CROW PRESENTS ‘THE PERFECT GIFT:’<br />
THE 2022 HOLLY JOLLY FOLLIES<br />
A happy tradition in Florence is to gather your<br />
friends and family and head over to the Florence<br />
Events Center for the Holly Jolly Follies. This<br />
year’s Follies will be presented by CROW at the<br />
Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St., on Dec. 2<br />
to 4 and is sure to kick off people’s holiday season<br />
right.<br />
“It has been three whole years since<br />
the Follies graced the stage at the Florence Events<br />
Center,” said CROW Artistic Director Melanie<br />
Heard. ”Our production in 2019 happened just<br />
before the COVID-19 pandemic arrived as an<br />
unwelcome cast member. So many people have<br />
commented how much they have missed it and are<br />
so excited that we are back this year. We are so<br />
happy to be back!!”<br />
Local playwright Rose Ellen Jacobson, with the<br />
help of her daughter and show director, Heard,<br />
have created a sentimental and sweet series of<br />
vignettes, involving several of the Follies’ most<br />
beloved characters, plus some new additions.<br />
The show will feature assistant direction<br />
by Genevieve Shahan, musical direction by<br />
Maree Beers and live musical accompaniment<br />
by Rhianna Haines and Marty Adams,<br />
plus many other musicians, volunteers and<br />
performers. Additionally, scenic elements will be<br />
designed and painted by Brian D Sandahl.<br />
The short synopsis is that Santa’s gift of a magical<br />
stocking comes as a BIG surprise to the elves<br />
this year. Each unexpected item that is revealed<br />
represents one of life’s perfectly intangible gifts,<br />
such as Laughter, Love, Friendship, Creativity,<br />
Time and much more. The story centers on<br />
the concept that the “perfect gift” doesn’t need<br />
ribbons or bows, because it is not something that<br />
can be bought in a store.<br />
As always, there will be delightful variety-style<br />
performances, intermixed throughout. This year’s<br />
offerings include the incredible Flight Dance Team<br />
— back with an original piece entitled “The Gift<br />
of Nature” — several beautiful vocalists, teen and<br />
adult tappers, CROW’s dance class performances,<br />
comedy skits, live music and, of course, the World<br />
Famous Tutu Dads, who will pounce into your<br />
heart.<br />
Putting the Follies together is no easy feat, since<br />
it involves such a diverse crowd of talents – not to<br />
mention a huge cast of volunteers. But CROW is<br />
no stranger to the task, having taken the reins for<br />
this community event back in 2016.<br />
“The entire CROW team is really looking<br />
forward to bringing our community a<br />
heartwarming show this year,” said Heard.<br />
Ticket sales from the Follies support CROW’s<br />
free and low-cost arts programming, including<br />
scholarships for youth, educational materials<br />
and production costs for the non-profit’s Spring<br />
mainstage production — “The SpongeBob<br />
38<br />
Musical,” which will hold open auditions in<br />
January and be performed live on stage in April<br />
2023.<br />
For tickets to ”The Perfect Gift:” The 2022<br />
Holly Jolly Follies, visit the Florence Events<br />
Center at www.eventcenter.org or call 541-997-<br />
1994. Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for kids<br />
12 and younger. Showtimes are Friday at 7 p.m.,<br />
Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.<br />

is gearing up for this year’s event at the Florence<br />
Events Center (FEC), located at 715 Quince St.<br />
Volunteers are rolling up their sleeves in<br />
preparation for the 26th annual Empty Bowls, a<br />
fundraiser which benefits the Florence Food Share<br />
beginning Friday, Dec. 2 at the Florence Events<br />
Center (FEC).<br />
Local artists have been busy all year making<br />
ceramic bowls, wood turned bowls, fused glass<br />
art pieces, wood art, paintings and photography<br />
totaling over 2,000 pieces donated so far.<br />
The public is invited to come and see the<br />

The Empty Bowls 2022 Committee also announced<br />
the featured artist for this year’s event is Alan Huck.<br />
Huck is an artist and art teacher residing in Florence<br />
for the past two years. He graduated from the Los<br />
Angeles Art Center College of Design with his field of<br />
study being in illustration. He worked on many wellknown<br />
Walt Disney feature animated films: “Robin<br />
Hood,” “The Rescuers,” “Winnie The Pooh and Tigger<br />
Too.” He was a storyboard artist on Disney’s “Fox<br />
and the Hound” and “Pete’s Dragon” and worked<br />
on character and story develop.m.ent for “The Black<br />
Cauldron.”<br />
Huck’s talents are varied. He not only worked in<br />
animation, he also designed 21 stained glass windows<br />
for the Shadow Hills Presbyterian Church in Los<br />
Angeles. He also won an award for landscape design<br />
from Los Angeles Water and Power.<br />
The featured artwork is titled “The Potter’s Gift,”<br />
with the concept being that “Food Share feeds the<br />
body, the artist feeds the soul,” Huck said.<br />
The collage pictures a potter who had created the<br />
perfect handmade bowl that he cherishes but he realizes<br />
that it could serve a purpose: to feed the hungry. He<br />
fills the bowl with food and gives it to a hungry person.<br />
“Free admission, family friendly and lots of fun!”<br />
said Desiree Clifton. “We hope you will stop by to view<br />
all the wonderful artwork!”<br />
No admission fee, open to the public. Due to our<br />
generous sponsors, all proceeds from this fundraiser<br />
will benefit Florence Food Share, our local food pantry.<br />

HOLIDAY MAGIC — AND CHARLES SUNIGA<br />
— RETURN TO FLORENCE EVENTS CENTER<br />
Once again, music and holiday magic comes to the<br />
Florence Events Center in the form of Charles Suniga.<br />
Suniga is a Florence native and a Siuslaw alum who<br />
has been performing since he was seven years old. His<br />
Moments Of Peace series has received critical acclaim<br />
in the music industry and is very popular with listeners.<br />
Suniga has been nominated twice for the prestigious<br />
Grammy award in the easy listening category, but the<br />
singer, songwriter and composer tends to shun awards<br />
and prefers to concentrate on spreading his music to<br />
the masses.<br />
“It’s all about the music,” he said.<br />
Suniga is often joined by “The Angels” — Audrey<br />
Breznikar, Jeannine Harwood and Julia Weiss, along<br />
with special guest vocalists performing traditional<br />
holiday tunes. These include Lynn Davis, Phil Parker<br />
and local radio personality Wayne Sharpe.<br />
The show will be Saturday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m.<br />

CAPE<br />
SEBASTIAN<br />
STATE<br />
SCENIC<br />
CORRIDOR<br />
Cape Sebastian … the very name invokes images<br />
of early Spanish explorers and long journeys. The<br />
cape was named in honor of Saint Sebastian in<br />
1603 by the Spanish navigator Sebastian Vizcaino.<br />
The most striking feature of this park is the<br />
panoramic view, both parking lots are over 200<br />
feet above sea level. At the south parking vista, you<br />
can see up to 43 miles to the north with Humbug<br />
Mountain filling the view. Looking south, you<br />
can see nearly 50 miles toward Crescent City,<br />
California and Point St. George Lighthouse.<br />
A deep forest of Sitka spruce covers most of the<br />
park and a 1.5 mile walking trail takes you out to<br />
the lower levels of the cape. If you're lucky, the trail<br />
will give you a chance to enjoy awe-inspiring views<br />
of the gray whales on their bi-annual migrations.<br />
