GIBBONS<br />

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 />

check out the website at artseacrafts.com<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 />

figurines, and planters, which come with a<br />

complimentary plant.<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 />

Ritcher, food stylist extraordinaire, from<br />

Austin, Texas. This is such an amazing<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 />

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 />

some quality time with those important people in<br />

our lives.<br />

Caramel Apple Pumpkin Seeds<br />

Ingredients:<br />

• 4 cups seeds (from three pumpkins)<br />

• 1/2 cup butter<br />

• 6 tablespoons brown sugar<br />

combined.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
