A Cultural Tradition on the Oregon Coast

No one sees them, but dozens of Float Fairies roam this seven-mile stretch of the Oregon coast. Several mornings a year these anonymous volunteers stroll the shores of Lincoln City, carefully placing glass treasures among driftwood and seagrass. Soon, the Float Fairies blend in with us mere mortals who have come in search of these treasures.

Finders Keepers, a popular treasure hunt for handcrafted glass floats, originated in Lincoln City. Now in its 19th year and inspiring imitators, the event grew out of a cultural tradition.

Today, visitors come from all over, seeking their own brilliantly-colored, signed, and numbered glass floats.

Treasure Hunting

I, too, have come in search of treasure: treasured time with sisters. Having three sisters in Oregon, I’ve made my way from high-desert Bend to seaside Newport, then up the rugged coast to Lincoln City, where Carolyn lives.

At first, fishermen crafted their floats from whatever glass was available to them—usually, recycled beverage bottles. Something about the sea stirs a terrible thirst, it seems.

Then, glass-making companies sprang up in Japan, Norway, Russia, and the U.S. Thousands of glassblowers found jobs making floats by hand. Circa 1890s-1930s, these floats are among the most ornate and coveted collectibles.

A Fragile Industry

Later, companies switched to using industrial molds and machinery to mass-produce “improved” floats—cheaper, more uniform, less colorful. Eventually, companies phased out glass altogether.

Over time, the world’s fishing vessels began using plastic, aluminum, even Styrofoam floats. For generations of beachcombers, coveted glass floats became all the rarer—except in Lincoln City.

That’s where artist Jennifer Sears had a brilliant idea for celebrating the Millennium: commission local artists to create glass floats, each distinctive, then place them in the open for anyone to find.

Playing with Fire

Soon we’ll play Finders Keepers. But first, says Carolyn, let’s see how glassblowing happens. We make our way to Lincoln City Glass Center.

There we watch as artisans gather molten glass, scooping it like honey from crucibles heated to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit.

They roll the glowing mass across a marver, a special metal table, to distribute heat evenly. Then, as if adding sprinkles to ice cream, they dip the molten lump in crushed glass to add layers of color. At various points, the glass is returned to the crucible to keep it hot and malleable.

As for the glassblowing, the artisans carry this out as nonchalantly as if they were chewing bubblegum, not working with bone-searing liquid fire.

Sailing, Sailing

All week, Carolyn and I tailor our adventures to the changeable coastal weather. On bright days, we look at tide pools, fishing boats, and bright pebbles.

On blustery days, we head for Captain OverKeel Cabin and batten down the hatches. Its interior resembles an ancient sailing ship. There’s no cable TV, no wifi, just the magic of forgetting what century this is.

Up and at ‘em

Nobody sleeps in on Finders Keepers days. By Saturday, the Float Fairies have placed 300 treasures all over the beach. Locals and visitors will soon be out in droves.

To help us on our quest, we seek out local expert Eric Johnson. As public relations coordinator for Lincoln City, Eric is first to see the glass floats as they arrive from artists’ studios all over Lincoln County.

Eric Johnson is truly a coastal citizen .

Does he have tips for spotting glass floats in the wild?

The secret, says Johnson, is not to look too hard. You’re more likely to discover a float the less fixated you are. And stay safe. Floats are never placed in risky-to-access areas. Just get out there and enjoy the day.

Oh, I see: Instead of treasure-hunting to the point of frustration, simply notice the beauty all around you. Good life advice, too.

Finding Bliss

After combing the beach, antiquing in town, and sipping coffee by the fire, the prospect of a Lincoln City sunset draws Carolyn and me outdoors again.

And just like that, we find it—a gorgeous glass float!

It’s in the hands of Todd Terrell, who marvels over its beauty with partner Rose Bliss. Their delight is what caught our attention.

For one companionable moment, we share in the joy, happy as nine-year-old kids. That’s all it is—a moment, created by years of cultural tradition on the Oregon coast.

A lovely moment to share with your sis. If that isn’t finding treasure, what is?

Meet the Challenge: Escape Rooms of the World

by Meredith Mullins on April 9, 2018

Everyone loves a challenge.

Cultural Encounters, Adrenaline, and Life Lessons—All in a Day’s Fun

I couldn’t help but get excited. Maybe a little nervous. I’d heard about it. I’d read about it. People had described the experience in a way that was seductive and sense-heightening. It was time to go for it. To see for myself.

Of course, I’m talking about escape rooms—the newest game phenomenon taking root around the world and offering cultural encounters of the mind-challenging kind.

Escape rooms are more than just a game, though. They’re theatre, mystery, teamwork, logic, puzzle solving, deciphering, intellectual sport, and, most of all, real-life fun.

You’re Sherlock Holmes, Harry Houdini, Indiana Jones, Nancy Drew, Inspectors Poirot and Clouseau, Columbo, Harry Potter, and Jessica Fletcher all rolled into one.

And, if your main purpose is fun, you are also a child again.

For those of us who spend too much time in front of a screen of one kind or another, when we step into a world of make believe that actually has tangible elements and human teamwork, it’s a welcome treat. Add to that the challenge of the hunt, and we’re in game heaven.

I was ready. I had trained watching quiz shows like Jeopardy and reality shows like Survivor. I had scored 800 on my math SATs (albeit many years ago). I was a daily sudoku player who was also immersed in a second language (brain activity . . . check!). And I reveled in detective mysteries.

Bring it on.

What is an Escape Room?

An escape room is a kind of physical adventure game where a team of people are locked in a room and have to figure out how to escape within a certain amount of time.

The players must work individually and as a team to discover clues, find hidden objects, solve problems and puzzles, answer riddles, unlock locked safes and boxes, and think creatively and strategically as a team.

Which of these items has a hidden clue? Perhaps all of them?
© Richard Green/Exodus Escape Room

Since there are more than 3000 escape rooms in the world, they can take many forms. You can escape from a room set in specific time period (Sherlock Holmes, Roaring 20s), or you can escape from a prison or a dungeon or a space station.

You can rob a bank, find a missing person, solve a murder, be an adventurer, defuse a bomb, or capture (or be) a spy. The themes are creative and endless, and, more often than not, fit within the culture of the country.

Cultural Encounters While Escaping

Escape rooms around the world all have different themes—settings and characters that have meaning to the particular country and culture—for example, a metro car, a casino heist, a haunted house, an espionage center, or the catacombs.

In Paris, one of the escape rooms is a metro car.

In Berlin, you escape to the other side of the wall, and send a message to tear the wall down. In Ontario, Canada, you participate in the Ontario Gold Rush of 1866. In a replica of 18^thcentury Zagreb, you find a passage so you can save an innocent woman accused of witchcraft from burning at the stake. There’s even an escape igloo at a ski resort in Slovenia.

Other cultural adjustments also exist. In the U.S., you can be teamed with strangers. In some other cultures, working with strangers would never be forced.

In all cases, the gamemaster explains the problem to be solved, and what may and may not be touched, lifted, or moved during the experience. (Everything not mentioned is fair game.) The door is locked (well, not in all cases, due to legal liabilities, but you get the idea). And the adrenaline rush begins. The clock is ticking. It’s a race against time.

Five Escape Room Life Lessons

What happened to my team in my virgin escape room experience? We had to find a murderer in the era of Sherlock Holmes.

We were a bit timid at first (since we didn’t all know each other and we hadn’t yet figured out how to work as a team), but we fell into the rhythm, used our individual talents wisely, and escaped the room with 15 minutes to spare.

The exhilaration of solving the final clue and finding the key to escape was a proud victory, especially since only 50% of the teams working our room had actually escaped within the time limit. We weren’t on the leader board, but we were in the top 50%.

Can we reveal any secrets? No. Escape room ethics dictate, “What happens in the escape room, stays in the escape room.”

Look closely. There are at least five clues in plain sight.
© Richard Green/Exodus Escape Room

Aside from having a fun adventure, my real “Oh, I see” moment came when I realized that the five things I learned from the escape room experience were also good life lessons.

Appreciate that everyone has unique skills. A great team works well together but also thinks differently, finds unique paths, reaches conclusions in different ways, and thinks outside the box.
Divide and conquer, but keep clear lines of communication. Use everyone’s specific skills to benefit of the team and to make effective use of time, but, while working independently, let the team know what clues have been found and what puzzles have been solved.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. (In the escape-room world, the gamemaster is watching and can provide hints if needed to keep the team from getting stuck or frustrated.)

Is there a room behind this room? Only time will tell.
© Richard Green/Exodus Escape Room

Don’t stop searching. (Look everywhere for clues. Crawl under things, turn things over, look behind things, empty drawers and pockets. Check and double check.)
Enjoy the experience. You don’t have to “win.” (But it would be nice not to be locked in the room forever.)

Am I now an escape room addict (diplomatically called “enthusiast”)? Possibly.

I can imagine a road trip with cultural encounters in Estonia, Hungary, Romania, Cyprus, Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands . . . and all the other countries with growing escape room opportunties.

And, even if I stay home, the escape room life lessons are worth living.

Resting in Peace at the Paris Pet Cemetery

Cultural Traditions that Honor our Best Friends . . . in Surprising Ways

From a distance, this peaceful resting place by the Seine near Paris looks like any other cemetery—a sea of tombstones, some polished and new and some devoured by time.

There are flowers of remembrance (plastic, ceramic, and real), pictures of loved ones, and heartfelt tributes.

Many ways to say I love you

It is only when you move closer that the hints of another world appear.

Dora, Panache, Elvis, Milou, Fleur, Sweety, DouDou, Bijou, Oscar, Spikey, Mitsy, Kiki (lots of Kiki’s), Nanette, Tootsie, Whisky, Faust, Drac, and Poupette.

They are all gathered here . . . in one of the oldest pet cemeteries in the world. The Paris Cemetery of Dogs (and other domestic animals) is a dramatic reminder of the cultural traditions that honor our furry, hairy, wooly, and feathered friends—often named our “best friends.”

Oh, I see. The depth of love for pets knows no bounds. This is not news, especially to animal lovers. But the joy of having had a loyal friend and the pain of losing that friend make a visit to this cemetery especially touching. The tributes are consistently emotional. These pets will be remembered forever.

Cimitière des Chiens

The name Cimitière des Chiens is a bit of a misnomer, since the cemetery houses cats, horses, a sheep, a chicken, birds, mice, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and a monkey.

The unofficial “And Other Domestic Animals” was added as a nod to animal equality. The well-kept grounds by the Seine are the final resting place for more than 40,000 pets.

The land was acquired by journalist Marguerite Durand and attorney Georges Harmois, and the grounds opened in 1899, after a law was introduced in France that prohibited throwing dead animals into the river (or into the trash).

Aside from that kind of tragic farewell, pet owners were allowed to bury their pets as long as the grave was 100 meters from the nearest dwelling. But animal advocates Harmois and Durand wanted something more. They wanted a scenic place that would honor pets—such an important part of people’s lives.

Stories of Compassion

The words of the epitaphs, as well as the visuals and objects selected to grace the tombstones, tell the stories of these loyal companions.

Tales of love . . .

To our dear adored Emjie, our great love, who gave us joy and happiness with her intelligence, sensibility, and affection. She was a heart covered with fur. Six kilograms of pure love. We will never forget you.

To my affectionate hen, who lived 16 years, faithful inseparable companion mourned by your mistress who remains inconsolable. To you I was attached. You will never be forgotten. Regretfully, R.O.C.

Poetry and philosophy . . .

For the regal collie, Rigadin de Pechinecha—You have beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, intelligence without arrogance, and all the virtues of men without their perversions.

Practicality and truth . . .

Bijou was not very large but he had good teeth.

Here rests Brother Bill. A true friend. He has many blue ribbons to his credit.

The pain of death . . .

Here lies Dick, faithful companion in the trenches who was always my only friend. He lived a model life and his leaving plunges me into sadness . . . And so I am all alone, no longer believing in anything.

And a final farewell to Kiki the monkey—Sleep my dear. You were the joy of my life.

Some of the stories challenge the far edges of the imagination.

Kinshasa de Cabotcove Coon was a cat with the intelligence of a primate. She could drink with her paw. If you find this hard to believe, there are photos on the tombstone to prove her evolved nature.

The celebrities of the cemetery include

the original Rin Tin Tin, who was found by an American soldier during WW I in France and who went on to become an American film star (the dog, not the soldier)

The imposing statue at the cemetery entrance portrays the legendary mountain rescue dog Barry, who, over the period of his life, saved 40 people from blizzards near the St Bernard pass in the Alps of Switzerland.

The memorial says Barry was killed saving the 41^st person to be rescued. Although this plotline is a film-worthy story, it is apparently untrue. Barry died a natural death at age 14 . . . always a hero.

The Art of the Cemetery

The emotional impact of this cemetery is powerful. For me, also, there are several “Oh, I see” artistic moments.

From the Art Nouveau entrance gates to the artfully sculpted likenesses of those buried, leaning in and peering closely at the detail is rewarding.

Many of the tombs are stone doghouses or free-form sculptures.

And, as with all art subject to the elements, nature adds some beautiful touches. Names embossed in moss, mosaic deterioration, and carvings changing with time like rocks washed by an ocean.

After spending a few hours in the emotional arc of this poignant setting, the cultural traditions surrounding pet lovers give good insight into the idea of love.

And it becomes clear that love lives beyond death.
