Manzanita’s long-awaited visitors’ center and public restroom facility is finished (or very close to it) and will be the object of a grand opening slated Saturday, Jan. 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews have been busy in recent days attending to items that the architect of the structure determined to be deficient, according to City Manager Jerry Taylor. Taylor said he expected much of the furniture to be moved into the building beginning this week. Looking to complete the new building before the Fourth of July, the city originally put the project on the fast-track in early 2013 with a plan to replicate the existing building that stood at 31 Laneda Ave. and was most recently home to Kent Price Coldwell Banker Realty. The old building was at one time the office of Ben Lane, one of the founders of Manzanita. In replicating the design of the building, city staff and the Manzanita City Council looked to save time by eliminating the need for design review by its planning commission. That didn’t set well with members of the planning commission, who voiced their opposition at the February meeting of the council. Also in attendance at the meeting were three or four local architects disgruntled that the city didn’t solicit design proposals for the new facility locally. It was suggested then that designing a new building specifically designed to handle the two functions, rather than replicating the old
DONE DEAL!
Rinehart Clinic enjoys success in helping people sign up for health coverage By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Finally finished! Manzanita’s new visitors’ center and public restroom facility at the corner of First Street and Laneda Ave. awaits visitors. A grand opening that includes refreshments is set for Saturday, Jan. 18, from an 11 a.m. ribbon cutting to 4 p.m. An after hours gathering for business owners in Manzanita,Nehalem and Wheeler is set for 5:30 to 7 p.m. later in the day. Photo by Dave Fisher building would better serve the community. Ultimately, the city council elected to stick with the original idea of replicating the existing building, but the time lost moved the project back two to three months. Once under construction, it was delayed time and again for a variety of reasons and plans for an opening during the holiday season were shelved. But that’s a mute point now as the Manzanita Business Alliance, in partnership with the City of Manzanita, gets ready to open the doors to its new visitors’ center a week from this Saturday.
The MBA has contracted with the City of Manzanita to staff and run the visitors’ center. The deal was finalized with the city this summer. In addition, the MBA hired a new part-time coordinator, Dan Haag, to help with the creation of the new MBA website and solicit volunteers to staff the visitors’ center. Through it all, MBA President Covert remained unfazed, keeping her eye on finally realizing a dream Manzanita merchants have harbored a long time. “Eventually, we’re looking to become a Chamber serving the three villages,” Covert
told the Citizen in an interview earlier this fall about the MBA’s long-term plans. “Until then, we’ll be recommending businesses not only in Manzanita but Wheeler and Nehalem as well.” With the grand opening of the 400-square-foot visitors’ center in sight, Haag remains enthusiastic. “I’m just looking forward to getting the doors open with smiling faces inside to greet visitors,” he said. Construction of the visitors’ center is being paid for from revenues generated by an increase in Manzanita’s transient lodging tax.
It’s no secret that the Affordable Health Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, and Cover Oregon, the state-sponsored plan, have experienced problems with the rollout of their programs, so much so, many are under the impression neither program is working. Not so, says Rinehart Clinic employee Tammi Lappier, who has had a hand, along with five other clinic staffers, in assisting over 200 families and individuals in securing health care insurance under Cover Oregon since Oct. 1. Said Lappier, the clinic’s CMA outreach and enrollment manager, “Confusion is rampant and people think the program isn’t working. Many don’t know where to start…it can be overwhelming.” Both the federal and state programs experienced major glitches with their online enrollment process early on and problems continue, though Lappier maintains things are getting better. To help those seeking coverage in the early going Lappier and her colleagues relied more on doing things the old-fashioned way by helping people fill out hard-copy applications (up

“If one child is being bullied, that is one too many,” says Neah-Kah-Nie School Superintendent Paul Erlebach, whose interest in bullying at school was piqued last May by a student about to graduate from Neah-Kah-Nie High School. As part of his senior class project, the student, of African-American descent, made a recording of racial comments directed to him during the course of senior year. Admittedly, some were made
jokingly, but whether or not they were perceived that way by the target of the comments is anyone’s guess, and it is just one form of bullying that goes on at schools throughout the country. Bullying and harassment, as defined in the NKN student handbook, is “a disturbance (language, behavior, technology-cyber bulling) which insults, ridicules, or torments another person.” “When I went to school, kids were being bullied and we weren’t doing anything about it,” Erlebach told the Citizen.

On New Year’s Day in 2005, eight people participated in the inaugural Manzanita Polar Plunge. Ten years later, as many as 300 “plungers,” along with that many watching, gathered on the beach at Manzanita for the New Year’s Day tradition. “The ‘Plunge’ has many stories,” said founder Janice Gaines, following the 2014 tenth anniversary of the event. “I was told by one woman that drove up from Pacific City that her mom had passed away this last year and she decided for her she would save the ashes and throw them in the ocean while plunging. Very touching. “I met another family from somewhere back east and they came here on vacation and the plunge was part of it. Every year it gets bigger.” Said first-timer Mary Moran, whose sister, Sheila, was on hand to document the event, “It (the water) wasn’t that bad.” That said, for those who needed a quick warm up after taking the dip in the ocean, a fire on the beach awaited them. “It’s a very cool event… crosses all economic and political barriers and bring joy to all,” said Gaines.

Pie Day (Night) celebration promises delicious fun By Lorraine Ortiz
If you love barbecue, chances are you’re going to love this Manzanita eatery’s new dinner menu By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Perfecting his technique and looking to emulate the barbecue flavors he’s grown fond of the past 15 years, Andy Loke thinks he has found them, and that’s good news for Friday and Saturday night dinner customers of Bread and Ocean Bakery and Deli in Manzanita.
The dynamic duo of Megan “Liz” Cole and Peter Newman will be the guest auctioneers at the sixth annual Pie Day Auction and Feast. Monica Gianopulos bids on her favorite pie at the 2013 Pie Day/Night auction, a benefit for Lower Nehalem Community Trust and Food Roots. The sixth annual 2014 event takes place on Saturday, Jan. 18, at Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church.

Those successful in procuring a pie from the auction can safely tuck them away and partake in
the final slice of fun, the pie feast. Food Roots, will be providing pies of all kinds for Pie Day revelers to enjoy. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., so bring your pie lov-
ing friends, get a good seat and prepare for an evening of delicious winter fun. Proceeds from this event will further the work of the two hosting non-profits. The Lower Nehalem Com-
munity Trust, a local land conservation organization, (www.nehalemtrust.org), and Food Roots, a community food organization supporting local food and farm awareness, production and access on the north coast, (www.foodrootsnw.org).

Smokin’ barbecue at Bread & Ocean Loke, who has worked at Bread and Ocean during the busy summer season the past three years sold the idea of creating a dinner barbecue menu to owner Julie Barker with just one taste of his signature slow-cooked barbecued beef brisket. Barker, herself a fan of authentic barbecue, was sold on the concept and invested in the tools of the trade that includes a barrel-like pit-style barbecue/smoker. In October, she and Loke launched the new twonight-a-week barbecue dinner menu and, so far, it has been a hit with locals and visitors alike. “Going into winter is a touchy time to start

something new,” Barker admitted, “but we’re doing good…it’s paying for itself, and I’m happy.” Though Loke is on hand during the restaurant’s 5 to 8 p.m. dinner hours to help assemble meals, he actually begins his day on Fridays and Saturdays much earlier. When most people are thinking about breakfast, Loke is firing up the grill at Bread and Ocean and preparing the meats – beef brisket, baby back ribs, and pork shoulder, typically – to slow cook for up to seven to ten hours. It makes for a long day, but Loke wouldn’t have it any other way. “You can’t rush it…you have to let the smoke do its thing,” said Loke, who uses a mixture of hickory and mesquite in the smoker, along with his rubs he has perfected over the years as well. “Just as with baking cookies, the oven has to be just right.” Growing up in Seaside, Loke has smoked fished and worked for other smokers in the area, but it wasn’t until he lived in Portland, where he experienced authentic barbecue, that he became more serious about his trade. Back on the coast and given the opportunity by Barker to do his thing, Loke is making the most of it. “If you like good food, you’ll come,” says Loke of the dinner menu, noting that Barker’s longestablished reputation for quality works in his favor. “We go the extra mile to provide a quality product.” Right now, Bread and Ocean is content with the
two-day-a-week dinners. Perhaps, as summer approaches, hours will be expanded as well as the menu. Loke says he would like to offer fish along with links and other items. Though patrons are welcome to dine at the restaurant, the take-out option has been most
popular, especially prior to the holidays when people just wanted to enjoy a good quick meal at home. Dinner prices range from $14 to $23 for a full rack of ribs and include two sides – coleslaw, baked beans, macaroni and cheese and potato salad on a rotating basis – and a biscuit. If

n Smoking ban proposed for state parks, possibly beaches Jeremy C. Ruark For the Citizen
Oregon Coast residents will have the chance to comment this month in Newport on a proposal that could ban smoking in some areas of Oregon’s state parks. The ban might also extend to Oregon beaches. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is seeking reaction to proposed rule changes that would control smoking in outdoor areas of state parks. Public hearings have been scheduled during January at Newport, Grants Pass, Bend and St. Paul. The Newport hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Jan. 16 at the Newport Recreation Center, 225 Avery Street S.SE. The proposed changes, which can be found at http://tinyurl.com/oregonstateparksmoking, are designed, in part, to reduce
A series of public meetings will be held next month to review proposed smoking restrictions at Oregon state parks. Courtesy photo litter and protect natural resources in Oregon’s state parks. Smoking is already prohibited in public buildings in the parks. The , change proposes to limit smoking to personal ve-
hicles, tents, and RVs, plus campsites in developed overnight camping areas. “We started looking at this when the Governor issued an order restricting smoking at all state
buildings a year ago,” said Richard Walkoski, with Oregon State Parks. “He asked us to review a smoking ban at state parks.” After parks officials began looking into what smoking issues the parks face, a common problem emerged. “The park rangers said, hands down, that cigarette butts are the real problem,’ said Walkoski. “You can imagine the environmental damage caused by filter cigarettes. They do not biodegrade and they create all kinds of environmental problems.” But the proposed ban is balanced, Walkoski said. “It didn’t make sense to us to restrict smoking completely in all the state parks,” he said. “To be fair to our customers that do smoke, we will allow smoking at specific campsites and in private vehicles.”
The Oregon Parks Commission is expected to review public comments and act on the proposed ban at its Feb. 6 meeting and the restrictions could be implemented in March. It would be a full year before enforcement takes place. “We will use the whole year as an education time to help everyone understand what the restrictions are and why they are needed,” Walkoski said. “We are not going to plaster signs all over the park. We will talk with park visitors to explain the new policy and place information on the state park’s web site.” When enforcement does begin, Walkoski said it would be conducted through a step-by-step process that would include voluntary compliance after warnings from park rangers. “If the verbal warnings don’t work, we will issue
written warnings and could even issue a citation that would carry a fine of $60 to $110,” he said. The Parks Commission is expected to also review extending the smoking restrictions to the Oregon beaches at its February meeting since the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is charged with managing the beaches. “Our real reason behind the smoking restrictions is to get a handle on the littering and environmental damage caused by cigarettes,” Walkoski said. Comments may be made at the public meetings or also be e-mailed to oprd. publiccomment@state. or.us and written comments may be sent to Richard Walkoski, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, 725 Summer St. NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301. Public comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Jan 17.
rodent problems in the first place. • Block entry by mice, rats and squirrels into your home, basement or building by sealing holes. • Reduce potential food sources and nesting areas in and near buildings, including seeds around bird feeders. • Use mechanical rat and mouse traps for rodent control—this is the most humane method. • Employ a licensed wildlife control operator or licensed pesticide applicator. • If you must use rodenticide bait, use it according to manufacturer label directions and current EPA safety standards. According to Rose Kachadoorian of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, “Everyone who applies pesticides is required to follow the directions on pesticide labels, including the restrictions. For example, if the product is labeled for use to control rats and mice in and around buildings, you cannot legally use it to control voles in your garden. The label is the law.” About Anticoagulant Rodenticides Anticoagulant rodenticides work by blocking the body’s ability to conserve vitamin K, which in turn stops the body from producing and activating new factors needed for normal coagulation of blood. The result is widespread bleeding throughout the body and eventual death.

Oregon Owls and other wildlife dying from rodent bait Department of Fish and Wildlife veterinarians advise home and landowners that poison baits used to control mice and rats can sicken or kill owls, hawks, foxes, bobcats and other species. To protect wildlife, people should carefully follow product directions and explore other options for rodent control. According to Julia Burco, ODFW Assistant Wildlife Veterinarian, wildlife deaths are generally the result of secondary poisoning from anticoagulant rodenticides used in the baits. Birds and other wildlife eat dead or dying rodents that have consumed the poison and, as a result, they are poisoned. Some wildlife will also eat the bait directly, as will pets. Anticoagulant rodenticides are used both indoors and outdoors, in urban and rural settings. They are usually formulated into pellets, blocks or bars and can be brightly colored. “In Oregon, we have documented cases of raptors and bobcats that have died from anticoagulant rodenticides,” said Burco. “Most recently, a great horned owl found in the Willamette Valley with significant bruising under the skin was confirmed to have died from anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning.” Owls are especially vulnerable as their diet

Talkin’ trash and other matters
Coastal Currents Dave Fisher
It’s that time of year, along with thoughts about our hopes and fears, we have time to look at life and try to determine if we are still focused on what is really important. We reflect on the years that have passed and the friends we have made along the way. For our family, we had an exciting day when, in the course of just an hour, we enjoyed a telephone visit with some people we met from halfway around the world and neighbors from just a few blocks away. Our visits were wonderful and reminded us of the joy in maintaining friendships and remembering the good times we shared. Looking at the state of the world and the changes throughout the years
north coast
As 2013 came to a close, I was reminded once again the precarious fine line an editor of a small town newspaper walks as I was caught up in the middle of a damned-ifyou-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation. As is the case in most instances like this, I ended up taking it on the chin – fortunately, not literally. Such is life, and it goes with the territory. Said one local elected official of my job, “A person in your position is kind of like being in politics.” Abraham Lincoln once said, “You can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the
people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” How true, and I find Lincoln’s pearls of wisdom comforting and reassuring during those times I encounter behavior that, from where I sit, defies logic. Enough said, other than the fact I wrote a rather lengthy editorial concerning my recent and somewhat one-sided exchange with a reader of the Citizen only to close the document, click on the icon and drag it to the “trash.” During the past decade I have authored, perhaps, half a dozen such “editorials,” if they can be called
that. (Rants better describes them.) None have seen the light of day and most I can’t even remember now. However, at the time I wrote them, it was a therapeutic exercise and served an important purpose. Editors, like everyone else, need to shoot off steam once in awhile, but it doesn’t give them license to print it. Nor in a tit-for-tat exchange with a reader will an editor come out on top. The rule of thumb in the industry is that the reader gets the final word. Better to move on or, at the minimum, edit yourself and your remarks. I would, however, suggest that sometimes, no
matter how perturbed we may be in the heat of the moment, we would all be better off dragging our inner feelings that often result in counterproductive comments to our internal trash can before we actually open our mouths and blurt them out. It’s that line of thinking that, for better or worse, has made me the newspaper editor I am today. In contrast to my experience the last few days of December, the first few days of 2014 have been absolutely beautiful in every way. Got down to the beach this past weekend and enjoyed a long walk with my wife, some-

present day. Nobody is examining the motives of the other, nor are they about to question a statement with need for technical analysis. We rely on what has been called “gut feelings,” and certainly those feelings have ruled as we look back and think of people we have known and know to this day. While I certainly would never be classified as being a “world traveler,” in the true sense of the word, I have managed to see several parts of the planet and maybe from a different perspective than many could claim. I actually had the advantage of seeing things from several angles, from first-class to steerage, and much in between. The government-
sponsored tour was about as interesting as anyone could imagine. Training and living on an old diesel electric submarine was certainly looking up from the bottom. (Pun intended!) Sailing the Atlantic on the French liner, the “Liberte,” which at the time was the finest ship in the French fleet, I enjoyed dining and hobnobbing with the elite. Later in life, visiting down under in Australia and then seeing an old school chum in “Kiwi Land” was very interesting. So traveling the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans did give me a wider understanding of just how darn big this world of ours really is and showed me that regardless of our heritage
thing we haven’t done for some time. If you’re looking for a therapeutic exercise, there’s none better. The almost summer-like conditions here on the coast this past week and lack of snow in the mountains seems to have prompted many living in the valley to venture westward. Manzanita and surrounding area seemed busier than usual this time of year, which bodes well for business – a first-of-the-year bonus of sorts. Enjoy… 2014 is off to a great start, Polar Plunge and all! See you at the grand opening of Manzanita’s new visitors’ center on Jan. 18.
or place on earth we are all, in the end, just people. No matter our place in the grand scheme of things, many of us were able to discover that by being nice to one another we could even enrich our lives. Most of us can be happy to know that we weren’t born with prejudice and by developing our understanding of others we will be forever thankful, if not just plain pleased with the results. Let us hope that 2014 brings us new friends and memories we can carry in this wonderful adventure called life. Let us not allow instant replays and the need to always be perfect get in the way.

Generosity much appreciated Once again, the gift of hope was generously given at the ninth annual Alternative Gift Market! In spite of the freezing temperatures, the ninth annual Alternative Gift Market held December 7, was a festive marketplace that garnered a total of $5,512 to help make the world a better place. For the first time, the market was
extended because of the cold and this total includes $310 donated by mail after the day of the market. Eighty-six percent of the donations went to 13 local non-profit organizations and 14 percent to 30 international projects. A huge, huge thank you to approximately 30 volunteers! You know who you are – those who wrote advertising, glittered and distributed flyers, made copies, set up and decorated, then put everything away, cashiered, greeted shoppers, staffed the international tables, made delicious soups, and did after-market accounting and follow up. Everyone worked; everyone enjoyed each other; and the holiday giving spirit was present in full force. Thank you to Fulcrum Community Resources for sponsoring and organizing this successful market. Thank you to Ocean Edge Specialty Rentals for every year providing paper and copying of market materials. Thanks to Fire Mountain School for every year bringing the Visa machine and clipboards and to Bread & Ocean for making bread to go with our soups. All these people and businesses contributed to the outstanding success of the
Alternative Gift Market, year nine! Once again, donations (tax-deductible) were made to international and local projects that support people who are in dire need. International projects address education, environmental protection, human rights, hunger, children’s health, women’s issues, medical supplies and services. The local non-profit organizations represented at the market help make our communities stronger by advocating for women, children, animals, art, recreation, food security, sustainability and the environment, along with helping those of us who are less fortunate. They were: Anyway Foundation, CARE, CARTM, CASA, North County Food Bank, Food Roots, Friends of NCRD, Fulcrum Community Resources, Hoffman Center, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Lower Nehalem Watershed Council, Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center and United Paws. The biggest thank you goes to the generous shoppers who, instead of buying more “stuff” for family and friends, opened their hearts and chose to give peace and hope through this alternative way of giving.

the world. In the twenty-first century, disparities among the genders still prevail, especially the intersections of race, class, immigration status, and geography. What can these disparities tell us about society’s values and priorities? How can we better understand the complexities of gender’s effects on our daily lives and identities? This is the focus of “Mind the Gaps: How Gender Shapes Our Lives,” a free conversation with Jade Aguilar on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 1 p.m. at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. This Great Speaker Series program is hosted by the Pioneer Museum through its Daisy Fund and sponsored by Oregon Humanities.

Women in the Arts, Redux on display at Pioneer Museum The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is pleased to present a new art show, Women in the Arts, Redux, through February 16. Art by Breanna Moran and Rebecca Spaniel is featured in the Main and Northwest galleries. Inspired by the beauty of the Northwest, Moran’s current body of work attempts to distill the complex matrix of textures, colors and light found in the forests and shores of the Oregon coast. These latest images attempt to capture the personality of the various inhabitants and the rugged grandeur of their natural surroundings. Rebecca Spaniel grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, fishing the marshlands and exploring the Appalachian forests, where she first discovered her love of nature and painting. After experiencing an Alaskan winter, Spaniel decided to rejoin the continental United States as an Oregon resident where she found inspiration and a community that embraced her and her art. A reception in the artists’ honor will be held at the Pioneer Museum from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will host six public open houses in January, including one in Tillamook, to solicit public comment on a draft management plan for six coastal salmon and trout species. The draft Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan describes the conservation status of these species and outlines a suite of actions related to harvest and hatchery programs, predators, and habitat to sustain these species and improve overall fishing. The goal is to better balance risks to wild fish populations by being conservative in some areas while also increasing fishing and harvest opportunities in others. The species and area for the plan include spring and fall chinook, chum salmon, winter and summer steelhead, and coastal cutthroat

Anna Welsh of Nehalem went to jail Jan. 6. Welsh had pleaded guilty Dec. 16 to two counts of attempting to induce a child to engage in a display of sexually explicit conduct for a person to observe and record in a visual recording. There were two criminal counts, because there were
n BULLYING From page 1 “We’re more sensitized now and mature in our reactions to it.” Following a presentation by the student of his senior class project depicting bullying to the school board in May, Erlebach launched what he intends to be a series of school and community meeting on harassment, bullying and cyber bullying. Five meetings have been held so far with the next scheduled Tuesday, Jan. 28, from 5 to 6 p.m., at Neah-KahNie Middle School. Cyber bullying will be the focus of the meeting and the public is invited to attend. At the November meeting, attended by NKN administrators, instructors, bus drivers and parents, school principals shared what is being done at each school. While the public perception may be that bullying is primarily a middle and high school issue, the problem exists at the elementary level, as well, in the form of teasing and shunning fellow students. “We’ve gotten better at teaching and problem solving,” said Garibaldi Principal Carol Kearns. The idea, said Kearns, is to give students the words and tools for basic conversation, demonstrate on how
two separate victims, both minors. The “attempt to” charge carries a lesser sentence than what Welsh originally had faced. Tillamook County Circuit Judge Mari Garric Trevino sentenced Welsh to two consecutive 20-month terms in state prison. Welsh then will have 24 months of post-prison supervision and be required to register as a sex offender. Welsh, 32, was arrested in
December 2012 for sex crimes involving underage boys. According to investigators with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Welsh was accused of engaging in sex acts with at least one of the victims, and sending and requesting pornographic images of the victims via electronic devices. Tillamook County District Attorney Bill Porter presented an impassioned statement
from the victims’ mother – “Our lives were consumed by this turmoil,” she said – after which Trevino asked whether the mother (whose name has been withheld to protect the identity of the victims) agreed with the plea bargain reached between Porter and Welsh’s attorney, John Tuthill. She replied that she did. One of her goals had been to keep her children from appearing at trial, she said.
to disagree and be proactive in building those skills. At the middle school and high school levels, Policy, Behavior, Intervention and Strategies (PBIS) is reviewed at the beginning of the school year, with the goal to teach students to be safe, responsible, and show empathy for others. Advisory periods at both schools is set aside to talk about social issues and help create awareness of the problem of bullying. Certain activities done in “fun” in the past, but which may be considered demeaning to some, are no longer part of the school experience. “Being proactive is the best way to avoid problems,” says Erlebach. “How do you do that? With school counselors in each building, peer mediation and after-school activities… places for kids to go.” Small class sizes also work in Neah-Kah-Nie’s favor, says Erlebach. “Kids are not just a number as they would be in larger school,” he noted. In addition, the district continues to refine consequences to help deter inappropriate behavior. First offenses call
for an apology to the harassed individual and up to two days in-school or out-of-school suspension. Repeat offenders are looking at three to five days suspension and possible expulsion depending on the nature of harassment. In extreme cases, police may become involved if a crime has been committed. Fortunately, the Neah-KahNie School District has not seen bullying to the degree of inner city and suburban schools, but that doesn’t mean there’s a problem, even if it’s just one student being harassed. Since coming aboard as superintendent in 2012, Erlebach believes “the pulse” of the district is healthy. “We want to promote that, create a healthy learning environment and ensure students’ safety at school.” The goal, says Erlebach, is not to overreact, but to be ahead of the problem and transparent in looking at it and dealing with it. So far, the feedback from staff and parents has been positive and Erlebach sees the public forums on bullying and
harassment continuing. “We’ll always have new students and parents coming into the district… kids need to be mentored.” And, the issue, he noted, will never be totally resolved.

On Dec. 19, (left) the Rotary Club delivered dozens of books to the Nehalem Elementary School library. Mrs. Hansen’s 4th and 5th graders were very excited to add the books to the library shelve along with librarian Kathy Kammerer. The club’s weekly luncheon speakers sign the bookplates in each book, which are then donated to the school.

The success of the Manzanita Polar Plunge over the past decade is undeniable. On hand for the tenth such event were founder Janice “Cat in the Hat” Gaines and David Matthews, who have participated in all ten plunges. Gaines promised a larger fire on the beach this year, which many took advantage of following their dip in the surf on New Year’s Day.

From page 1 to 20-pages long) by hand, mailing them to the state and following up, as necessary, by phone to check the status of applications. “It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete the application, longer for larger families and those who are self employed,” said Lappier, who has had extensive practice in filling out the paperwork the first couple of months after the rollout. It’s a two-step process, according to Lappier, that begins with the eligibility application followed by shopping the marketplace for various plans once the subsidy, based on the applicant’s income, is determined. To help individuals and families Lappier has taken part in a number of health care informational meetings held at libraries, civic organization meetings and schools from Tillamook to north county. The next such meeting, a healthcare application fair, is scheduled February 22 and 23, in Tillamook, at the fairgrounds in the 4-H dormitory. The 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all-day event is an opportunity for those seeking coverage to get acquainted with the process and have their questions answered in sessions lasting as little as 15 minutes. While the Cover Oregon website continues to be
tweaked, 3,400 applications statewide had been processed by Dec. 4, 2013 for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Locally, The Rinehart Clinic continues to help people in need sign up for health insurance coverage. While the deadline for Cover Oregon has passed, those seeking coverage through a private plan have up through the end of March to do so. “Everyone is still committed to making this work, including The Rinehart Clinic” said Ellen Boggs, chief executive officer for the Wheeler-
