Hatfield Award given to Shirley Kalkhoven The League of Oregon Cities’ (LOC) prestigious Mark O. Hatfield Statesmanship Award was presented to former Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven during the LOC’s 90th Annual Conference at the Riverhouse Convention Center.

The award is presented to a deserving “statesman” who has provided lasting benefits to the quality of life for Oregon citizens. Mayor Kalkhoven, who died in March, had been a force in Oregon politics for the past decade, particularly in her work on transportation and emergency preparedness. She changed Oregon policies through her dedication and perseverance, devoting her life unselfishly to the betterment of Oregon.

Mayor Kalkhoven served as president of the League of Oregon Cities in 2009 and the Oregon Mayors Association in 2014. She had been a member of the Northwest Regional Solutions Advisory Council and chair of the Tillamook County Futures Council. In addition, she had been the chair of the Northwest Area Commission

Shirley Kalkhoven on Transportation since 2007, chair of the League of Oregon Cities Water Wastewater Policy Committee, a member of the League of Oregon Cities

Transportation Committee and a member of the board of the Col-Pac Economic Development Commission, representing small cities in Tillamook County. At

the time of her death, she had been mayor of Nehalem for 10 years and previously had served 10 years on the Nehalem City Council.

Previous Hatfield Award winners include: Oregon Senator Betsy Johnson (2013); U.S. Congressman Greg Walden (2011); former Oregon Senator Brady Adams (2007); former Oregon Senator Cliff Trow (2001), former Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt (1997) and former Oregon and U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield (1996).

The Hatfield Award is presented to a deserving “statesman” who has provided lasting benefits to the quality of life for Oregon citizens.

Applicants must be held in high esteem by the public due to their unselfish devotion to the call of public service. Hatfield began his political career in 1950 as a member of the Oregon Legislature, and in 1956 became the state’s youngest Secretary of State at age 34. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1966, and became the longest-serving Senator from Oregon in 1993.

NKN Homecoming Royalty... 4-H Grows Here celebrating National 4-H Week

The Tillamook County 4-H program is celebrating the impact 4-H youth are making in their lives and their communities during National 4-H Week. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth organization, empowering more than six million young people across the U.S. This year, National 4-H Week is October 4 - 10, 2015 and the theme is “4-H Grows Here.”

We want to encourage everyone to wear their 4-H gear (shirt, hat, scarf, ect.) on Wednesday, October 7th to represent 4-H. The Tillamook County 4-H program reaches over 1,200 youth each year through traditional 4-H clubs, 4-H afterschool programs and day camps and through nutrition and science programs offered in school classrooms. 4-H clubs are led by 160 adult and 44 youth volunteers.

National 4-H Week recog-

nizes the beginning of a new 4-H year. It is time for getting together to plan and organize the new 4-H year.

Many people ask what 4-H stands for. The Four H’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. They symbolize the development of the head to think, plan and reason; the heart to be concerned with the welfare of others, accept the responsibilities of citizenship, and develop positive attitudes; the hands to be useful and skillful; and health to practice healthful living, enjoy life, and use leisure time productively.

The 4-H Motto is “To Make The Best Better,” ever striving to better oneself.

Green and white are the 4-H colors. Green is emblematic of springtime, life, and youth, while white

n North Fork 53 Continued from Page A1 forests and pastures. In early 2014, several North Coast farmers and fisherman began informally meeting to discuss how to better get their products directly into the hands of their coast communities and to promote sustainable North Coast food to visitors. From these meetings arose the vision for a string of local food hubs; places where farmers, fishers, foragers and chefs could share the harvest as well educate and engage the public.

This fall the collective of local growers are celebrating the launch of their first farmer owned food hub in the Nehalem Valley called North Fork 53. With the help of a community fundraising campaign and lots of volunteer effort, North Fork 53 was created from a 1930s homestead property along the North Fork of the Nehalem River. It features a farmer owned and operated four bedroom bed and breakfast, a certified kitchen to produce value-added

farm products, a year-round community farm store and educational/event center.

Ginger Edwards, local vegetable farmer at R-evolution Gardens and founder of North Fork 53 spearheaded the effort. “The demand for our food and for folks who want to learn more about our farm has been growing every year,” said Edwards, now in her seventh year as a full time farmer. “We wanted to create a place that supports and trains young farmers, creates value added foods, hosts events and community celebrations, and brings in educators and chefs to teach people to cook with seasonal healthy ingredients.” Edwards explained that agritourism is the best way she has found to fund local farms, and to reach a wider audience for local food. “If people who are visiting the North Coast get to stay on a farm and eat the food, tour the fields and maybe even harvest some vegetables or gather eggs, it is the most direct educational experience they can have about what we do. They will feel more connected to this place and want to support local farms as they travel and eat,” she added.

Edwards is joined in her passion for building a local food visitors’ circuit by

Nehalem grass fed beef and pastured pork and poultry producers Jared Gardner and Hilary Foote of Nehalem River Ranch, and Jeff Wong of Community Supported Fishery in Garibaldi.

Jared and Hilary received their start in farming through the generosity and mentorship of long-time dairy and beef operators who had a vision of helping the next generation get into food production. “We wanted to pass this along and now Nehalem River Ranch is also a catalyst for small food producers, helping grow a local vegetable operation and a local honey producer by integrating their operations onto our land in a way that compliments everyone,” said Gardner. Nehalem River Ranch was recently awarded top animal welfare and grass fed certifications, becoming certified Animal Welfare Approved for their pastured pork and becoming the first in Oregon to be Certified Grassfed by AWA for their beef cattle.

n 4-H Continued from Page A1 symbolizes high ideas.

The 4-H pledge was adopted in 1927 and remained unchanged until 1973 when the words “and my world” were added. Many Tillamook County residents are familiar with the pledge which states: “I Pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

Although today’s 4-H program still has traditional 4-H clubs, less than 10% of Tillamook

County’s 4-H participants live on farms. In the traditional 4-H club program the most popular projects in Tillamook County are clothing, photography, art, and swine, although more than 40 different projects are available depending upon the interests of volunteer leaders and members. In Tillamook County leaders are especially needed in the 4-H clothing, foods, gardening, and small animals (rabbit & poultry) project areas. New 4-H leaders are provided project materials and training; this year new 4-H leader orientation will be held on November 8, 1:30-4 pm at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook.

The 4-H Cloverbud program for youth in grades K through 3 continues to increase in popularity. 4-H Cloverbuds focus on shortterm projects in a variety of project areas that include

cooperative learning and are non-competitive. The majority of 4-H Cloverbud members are reached through day camp and after school programs. The 4-H program is looking for volunteers who are interested in establishing 4-H Cloverbud clubs.

People interested in learning more about 4-H or how to start a 4-H group are invited to visit the OSU Extension Office at 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook, or call Nancy Kershaw or Joy Jones at 842-3433. 4-H families, friends, supporters and those interested in learning more about the 4-H program are invited to attend the 4-H Recognition Dinner on Sunday, October 18, 1 p.m. at Tillamook High School.

Come and find out why many people view 4-H as both a youth and adult educational program.

2015 Harvest Festival celebrates Community Land Trust Oct. 3 Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) celebrates community and conservation with its annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 3, from noon to 4:00 p.m. Alder Creek Farm is a natural area and wildlife habitat where folks gather this time of year to appreciate the beauty of conserved land, catch up with friends, and experience farm life for an afternoon. The Festival is free as are parking and shuttles.

There will be farm tours and conservation talks, as well as live music by Sedona Fire Band. This year Nehalem Bay Horse Excursions & Pony Rides is offering free pony and horse rides for both children and adults.

Sponsored by NCRD, Sierra Gjerde will lead children in imaginative play and parachute games. There will be booths by local community groups, and best of all it’s the last farmers market of the season, so expect farm fresh produce, delicious lunch offerings, and handmade local products.

In a bold move, LNCT has eliminated on-site parking at this year’s event. LNCT Executive Director Dale Cramer Burr said, “The festival has grown, and we realized it was time to make Alder Creek Farm a no-car zone on October 3rd. Parking is available for vendors only, so we’ve set up a quick and convenient shuttle service for our community. Walking and biking are definitely encouraged!”

With an increasing number of cars every year, parking on the grassland habitat negatively impacts the property’s conservation values while encouraging vehicle usage. Continuous shuttles will run from four Nehalem parking lots: the municipal lot (corner of 7th and Highway 101), the lower NCRD lot (36155 9th Street, enter from B Street), St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church (36335 N Highway 101), and the Lighthouse Restaurant (36480 N Highway 101).

There is disability parking available at the Farm, and a dedicated pullover space at the end of Underhill Lane

for passenger drop offs, too. “We’re really excited about everyone helping the environment this year. Hop on a shuttle and come to the Farm!” exclaims Burr.

Alder Creek Farm was Bill and Carole Anderson’s family dairy then a group of local citizens purchased the farm when the Andersons retired. The Farm became a home base for LNCT, which stewards well over 100 acres of conservation land in the region. Every year schoolchildren come from all over Oregon to experience hands-on learning about conservation. And the Trust’s all-volunteer community garden supplies organic fruits and vegetable to families served by the North County Food Bank. Alder Creek Farm has become a hands-on community classroom for a new generation of children and young adults learning about the land.

“Old” to Joy, CARTM’s Trashion Show and Upcycle Party success CARTM presented a sold out 4th Annual Trashion Show and Upcycle Party Saturday night. There was such an extraordinary generosity of spirit from the many volunteers, organizers, models and planners that worked so hard on the Show, to our marvelous sponsors and, most importantly, to our wonderful community!

We all know this production could not have come off without a hitch, unless it was very well planned. For months the terrific team of Karen Reddick-Yurka, Cathy Silver, Mary Moran, Jenny Greenleaf and Wendy Ryan created an incredible community event with pizazz and grace!

The trashionistas were magnificent! The staging spectacular and the music unique and energizing! It is impossible to choose a favorite model. needless to say the production was filled with great examples of reuse and recycled material magically turned into amazing costumes! Add to that our spectacular emcee Aina Tonjes, the epitome of improv! Fun was had by all!

CARTM is so appreciative of our community’s support! It is truly through the generosity of our community, volunteers and sponsors that we are one step closer to Zero Waste!

Many many thanks to all!

n TLT Continued from Page A1 be sent out and roughly $450,000 will start making its way back into the communities of Tillamook County.

A request of $29,800 for Tillamook Association of the Performing Arts to create ADA accessible restrooms, and a request of $57,000 to start a Port of Garibaldi Hertiage Plan were not funded.

An additional project was chosen by the Board of Commissioners to receive funding because Commissioner Tim Josi called it a “crisis of epic proportion.”

Ranked as the12th priority project by the TAC and EDC, the Board of Commissioners voted 2-1 in favor or dedicating $50,000 to the Nestucca Fire Beach Access Improvement. “I know we saw the situation in Pacific City this summer demonstrated they are reaching an impasse in being able to move traffic,” Josi said via phone during the Board’s meeting on Sept. 23.

The original application request $195, 000 as part of a $732,328 project to widen the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access to two lanes.

“The main reason the fire department is interested in this is it’s a huge issue for us dealing with the safety on the people on the beach,” Nestucca Fire and Rescue Chief Kris Weiland said during the TAC presentations back in August. “I’ve had to close the beach access…they look at you and say, ‘I’m not ever coming back again.’ We don’t want that. What we want is them to have a positive experience.”

“This is a strongly supported project by the Pacific City Community,” Jeff Schons of Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies said in August. “I think of it as the introduction to Tillamook County for many visitors.

Congestion [in] that spot has caused a lot of frustration and anxiety.”

Josi wished to move the project ahead for the first round so that planning and permitted could get underway.

Commissioner Bill Baertlein voted in favor of

dedicating $50,000 to the additional project.

“I want to honor our voters in South County,” Baertlein told the audience.

But he also stated his own issues with the grant process.

“When I look at the projects, I see no cohesive strategy or strategic plan for spending the funds,” Baertlein said. “We have taken a shotgun approach to getting our infrastructure updated so that we can provide our guests a clean and safe place to enjoy our area.

“We need a scoped approach to really fix the problems and our grant process does not lend itself to fulfilling this need. In addition, when I look at the grants, such as the TAPA grant for new ADA bathrooms I wonder if maybe, rather than a band aid, they should be asking for a new performing arts center and parking structure in the core of downtown Tillamook. A structure that other businesses could build around, revitalizing the central part of the County. Under our current process it could never happen. They could not afford to prepare a grant application with a design and cost estimates.”

Baetlein suggested that the TLT should be a department of the County, rather than a branch of EDC. “There has been nothing in the implementation of the TLT that has changed my opinion that this needs to be a Tillamook County Department,” Baertlein said. “ I believe that this should happen on July 1, 2016…

My greatest fear is that this Bureaucratic and contentious nightmare we have created will get institutionalized and impossible to change.”

Commissioner Mark Labhart voted against funding the Nestucca Fire Beach Access Improvement project in the first round of grants.

“If the beach access project is in fact an important project to be partially funded by the TLT, then the application should be refined for the second round to address the issues raised and let it compete with the other two projects that did not get funding and any new projects that may be proposed in the next round of funding beginning in less than two weeks,” Labhart said.

“Let’s not change the due

diligence recommendation from the TAC and the EDC. Yes, the Board of Commissioners can change the recommendation of the TAC and EDC. But as I said earlier, I’m only going to change my mind for TLT first round funding if I saw something that was out of line from what we asked the TAC and the EDC to do in an open and public process. We need to follow our process and I support the recommendation of the TAC and the EDC. “Let’s get the beach access fixed next summer and let’s get some of the other worthy projects done too by working together without circumventing our own processes.”

Six applications submitted for tourism marketing and promotions grants: Lucky Bear Soap of Tillamook, Three Arch Inn of Oceanside, Scovel Racing, Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, Twin Rocks Friends Camp, and Association of Northwest Steelheaders have all applied for the first phase of tourism marketing and promotions grants.

The tourism marketing and promotions grants were available to non-profit and for-profit businesses.

All applicants passed county legal counsel.

According to Visit Tillamook Coast Director Nan Devlin, the six applications will be reviewed and scored by the TAC and then ranked at their next meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Rankings will then be presented at the Economic Development Council on Oct. 20 for funding approval.

“The total request for all six applicants is just over $30,000,” Devlin said.

“Phase one of this grant made available $50,000, so the approximately $20,000 not requested in this phase will roll over into Phase Two. That will make $70,000 available for marketing and promotions grants in the next round.”

Round two of tourism facility grants open Oct. 1 The second round of grants for tourism related facilities opens on Oct. 1 with the application deadline closing on Jan. 15.

Commentary

Football Season is upon us!

Fall is here, and let the football games begin. Kids, both big and small, can test themselves with a chance to show what they are made of! Hot dogs and pop corn are the best training tools for the observers.

It was kind of a strange weekend a few weeks ago when we witnessed some of the first games of the season for many football teams. Sunday was particularly different for this displaced Husky, who has learned to live in the land of Ducks and Beavers.

Neither of those teams had very much good fortune on Saturday, and the Dogs managed to win their game rather handily that fateful day.

Sunday, while I was relishing my first winning day in many years, I decided to watch another Washington team win their first game. It was a pretty exciting day right up to the end and something went wrong and the Seahawks lost their way. I decided that their

biggest problem is that those games are just a couple minutes too long. They look really good for most of the game and then they collapse. I can imagine that their camp is a bit tense after that screwball loss, on top of their loss last year in the The Old really big game.

Geezer Football Walt was my favorite Trandum sport when I was a teenager. I was too small to play High School ball, but there was a Boy’s Club league in Seattle with teams from various neighborhoods. My

team was Lake City, which was in the northeast part of Seattle. We had a volunteer coach, who’s day job was being a Deputy Sheriff.

A man who stood over 6’5” and weighed in at about 300 pounds.

I never did hear about what his playing career entailed, but he was a good guy and knew a lot about the game. We played on a dirt field behind a school and our uniforms were all hand me downs from some place. We did have team jerseys for game days, but the rest of the time we probably looked like comic team with various parts of uniforms that didn’t fit all that well. There was nothing that resembled a face mask and those leather helmets didn’t offer much protection. One guy had an iron bar to try and protect his nose after it was broken several times.

Something I never will forget was the agony and pain that racked my body the morning after our first scrimmage. Everything

The North Coast Citizen is multi-media

rules have been made to protect them, but I have what I think might be the root of the problem.

I am thinking that players have too much protection with all the pads and head gear that they are wearing. They have become what could be considered a “guided missile.” Perhaps, those tackles and blocks would not be so severe if the person making the play thought they might just hurt themselves.

Another weekend has passed since I started this article. It proved to be a disaster for both the Ducks and the Beavers again.

Probably, a lot tougher on their backers than on the players. I remember playing on a team that did not score a touchdown our first year. The next year we won half our games, and the third year were the champions. Good things sometimes take a little time and the rewards are even greater for those who love a winner!

hurt and getting back out on the field the next afternoon was quite a challenge. Maybe that is where I gained some of the toughness that came into play later in my Navy days when I trained to be a submarine swimmer.

Football is really a rough sport, but nothing when you compare it to Australian Football. They spend all their time moving on the field and there are no huddles and the game doesn’t stop every few seconds. When I saw them play 40 years ago, I was amazed at how skimpy their padding was compared to what we use on this side of the pond. I noted that some of our teams have recruited Australian kickers and when I watched them in action it was obvious from the way they move that they came from down under.

There is a lot of concern for the safety of the players both young and old who suffer head injuries. I know there was been a great amount of research and

Re-opening of Oregon razor clamming on indefinite delay

ASTORIA, Ore. – Razor clamming at Oregon’s popular and productive Clatsop County beaches will not open Oct. 1 as scheduled.

Razor clamming along the entire Oregon coast has been closed since May 14 due to elevated levels of domoic acid in the clams.

The most recent test results released Friday, show levels too high for the season to open next Thursday, said Matt Hunter, ODFW shellfish biologist.

Hunter said Oregon beaches will re-open to razor clamming only after two consecutive samples show domoic acid is below the alert level. Exactly when that might happen is impossible to predict because the clams are very slow to eliminate the toxin.

“The only way for razor clams to reduce the level of domoic acid is through spawning or growth,” Hunter said. “We saw a big reduction in domoic acid levels after spawning in June, but we haven’t seen much growth in adult clams since then that

would bring the levels down even more.”

While razor clamming will remain closed for the entire Oregon Coast, the harvest of bay clams and mussels is now open on all Oregon beaches. The harvest of Dungeness crab also remains open in Oregon.

Harvesters can visit the ODA shellfish closures webpage for the latest closure information.

•When should I apply for Social Security?

•How can I maximize my benefits?

•Will Social Security be enough to live on in retirement?

To help baby boomers better understand the Social Security system, this workshop will cover •5 factors to consider when deciding when to apply for benefits •When it makes sense to delay benefits -- and when it does not •Why you should always check your earnings record for accuracy •How to estimate your benefits •How to coordinate benefits with your spouse •How to minimize taxes on Social Security benefits •How to coordinate Social Security with your other sources of retirement income Registration Fee is $15.

Seating is limited and reservations are recommended.

Individuals may reserve space by going to www. clatsopcc.edu/schedule and searching under Course Title or by calling 503-338-2402.

U.S. 101 paving project to be completed next year The U.S. 101 pavement preservation project from Wheeler to the Wilson River will be completed next spring.

The project is about halfway complete, but was halted effective this week since there would not be not enough time for the necessary secondary pavement

compacting and installation of permanent striping before winter rains begin.

The contractor, Oregon Mainline Paving of McMinnville, started the project in late August and made excellent progress.

“Paving contractors were extremely busy this summer,” said Dave True,

ODOT’s Project Manager.

“Starting this late, there was a good possibility that work would not be completed this year. Although the dry weather is expected to continue, paving any later than Sept. 30 runs the risk of delaying installation of the permanent striping and pavement markers, which is

and of course, robots. His playable story app, Mayday!

Deep Space, is available at the App Store.

Following Wilson’s reading and Q&A, we’ll have our popular Open Mic where up to nine local writers will read 5 minutes of their original work. The suggested (not required) theme for the evening’s Open Mic is “Surviving Machines.”

Admission for the evening is $7.

The Manzanita Writers’ Series is a program of the Hoffman Center for the Arts and will be held at the Hoffman Center (across from Manzanita Library at 594 Laneda Avenue.)

a safety issue.”

The contractor was able to complete 8.8 miles of the project along U.S. 101 in Tillamook County from just south of Wheeler to around Barview (milepost 56.6) just south of Rockaway Beach.

Starting after March 15 of next year, the contractor

will complete the remainder of the project from milepost 56.6 to the Wilson River at milepost 64.2.

The project is removing the current damaged asphalt and replacing it with a new surface that is significantly improving travel conditions. In addition, in either 2016 or 2017 ODOT will

upgrade pedestrian ramps in Rockaway Beach and Bay City to American Disability Act (ADA) standards.

ODOT is delaying the paving of Garibaldi until the more extensive ADA work can be designed and funded. There is not a date set at this time for this work to be scheduled.

Successful CARTM campaign launches new local service When projects are ripe they burst forth, so says CARTM Chair Linda Kozlowski. “When our board listed its top ten special project priorities for 2015 at our retreat last January, purchasing a box truck for CARTM was at the top of the list,” said Kozlowski.

“Next thing we knew, a ‘for sale’ sign was on local contractor Joe Zak’s box truck and CARTM decided to buy it. We call it “CARTM-A”, our own special karma!”

Of course, non-profits all dream of special projects and typically they all require fundraising—this was no exception. With a unanimous vote of the board, CARTM moved forward, named its goal and its timeframe and set about raising funds to purchase the truck, which was available locally at a very reasonable price.

“We could not believe our luck. Of course, it is never luck, it’s timing, right?”

CARTM’s timing was very good and the campaign was swiftly funded by 24 local donors, one foundation and the entire CARTM board of directors.

The purpose of the truck, explained Karen Reddick-Yurka, CARTM’s director, is to

offer the community pick up and delivery service. “ I can’t tell you how many times customers have ask if we could deliver items purchased in The Refindery. We are happy now to be able to say, ‘let us CART your stuff so you don’t have to.’ “ “With our new box truck service we can also pick up a single item or the entire contents of a home or business, and even remnants from garage sale,” continued Reddick-Yurka. “We’ve had some successful trial runs with people who have sold homes in the area. They were happy to have CARTM pick up donated furnishings for reuse. It is truly a win, win for all concerned and we couldn’t be happier to be able to offer this service to our community.”

The truck, currently undergoing a makeover with new CARTM signage, is now available to the community for basic pick up and delivery every Wednesday, at very reasonable rates. The rates include the truck plus one staff person within a 10 mile radius.

Special pick up and delivery may be scheduled on other days, and larger loads requiring more staff are available for an ad-

ditional cost.

“When our customer wants to donate large or multiple items, staff will go to their location (at no charge) to assess the items and schedule a convenient pick-up date,” Karen continued.

“We always accept clean, reusable donations of household items, books, tools, furniture, electronics, appliances, hardware, building materials and probably items we haven’t even thought of.”

CARTM cannot pick up recycling or waste (trash), or hazardous waste. “As we have all been doing for the last 17 years, we encourage trips to CARTM to recycle and dispose of refuse and hazardous waste disposal events are held throughout the year at the Tillamook Transfer station,” she concluded.

“We have our generous community to thank for making our new (to us) box truck possible,” said Kozlowski. “This is just another reminder of why we all love to live here.

Not only do we have CARTM, but we have people who want to help us make things happen for the benefit of all.”

For more information on the box truck service, call 503-368-7764 or email ops@cartm.org.

NBF&R Takes Inventory, Flow Ready for Recreational Sales... Tests of All Hydrants

By Laura Swanson

lswanson@countrymedia.net

Oregon Coast Cannabis in Manzanita will begin selling recreational marijuana today Oct. 1, 2015 at 11 a.m. It is the only cannabis business in Manzanita and was grandfathered in prior to a city council decision to hold a public election on the sale of marijuana. The fate of the new business may be left up to the voters in Nov. 2016 if the City of Manzanita puts the sale of marijuana on the ballot during a city election. No other marijuana sales licenses can be obtained in Manzanita until after the vote making Oregon Coast Cannabis the only legal retail marijuana store in the city. OCC is continuing to build its inventory and product lines, and has a quantity of local flower available for the beginning of recreational sales. To celebrate and commemorate the start of recreational sales on Thursday Oct. 1st, the Tsunami Drummers will perform at Oregon Coast Cannabis from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information, call 503-368-4200, or go to leafly.com for specials.

Tillamook Estuaries Partnership presents ‘State of the Bays 2015’ Get to know the wonders of your local watersheds!

The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP) is hosting their third “State of the Bays” celebration. This two-day event starts out with an evening reception on Oct 9th, from 5 –7pm at the Officer’s Mess Hall at the Port of Tillamook Bay.

Light refreshments will be provided by Pacific Restaurant.

Saturday is filled with educational and fun outdoor field experiences highlighting real on-the-ground, in-process work supporting TEP’s mission. TEP staff and partners invite the public to join them on these outdoor tours exploring the pathways of wetland and woodlands, learning about the history and stewardship of these natural environments and habitats. There are seven field trips planned throughout the county and spaces are filling up fast-RSVPs are strongly recommended. Field trips are scheduled at varying times and locations throughout the County, please see our website for specific times and locations or for more detailed information on each tour. www.tbnep.org or call 503.322.2222

When you dial 911 to report a fire, every second counts. Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue responds as quickly as possible, but in the past, upon arrival they might have encountered a hydrant with low flow rates or no hydrant nearby at all. Now, NBF&R have completed an inventory and mapping of all the district’s hydrants, including flow tests.

The hydrants are now color-coded by the flow rate, how many gallons per minute comes from that hydrant, which tells the fire-fighters when they arrive how much water is available to put out the fire. “This information is extremely helpful to our firefighters,” said fire chief Perry Sherbaugh, “and by doing this and some other pre-planning, we have lowered the fire district’s ISO number.” The state Insurance Services Office (ISO) assigns a rating, using a grading system from 1 to 10 (one being the best/lowest rate, 10 one the highest) to each fire district which then determines the insurances rates for the community.

“We had a very positive inspection, and our citizens should contact their insurance company to find out what rating they have,” said Sherbaugh. “Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue is now at a 5.”

He continued, “We are working on fire pre-planning for commercial buildings, such as churches, NCRD, etc. and will invite ISO back after the first of the year to lower the numbers further with a demo of shuttling water.” The fire district’s new apparatus, new engine, helped to lower the ISO numbers

and with a demonstration of shuttling water the rural part of the district is rated at 6B. “When the first ISO numbers were done after the district was formed, many people saved significantly on their insurance rates, and we hope that our continued efforts to improve fire safety, upgrade equipment and training, that we can lower those number even further and save our citizens money,” Sherbaugh said.

NBF&R has three full-time employees, and relies on 30 volunteers as well. “For medical calls our QRT, quick response team has saved numerous lives,” Sherbaugh said.

“With only four ambulances in the county, you never know where they might be.” The volunteers continue to increase their training with many completing advanced training courses. NBF&R has experienced a steady increase in the number calls – in 2013 there were 668 calls; in 2014, 725 calls; and to date over 620 calls, with 90 days left in the year, it is likely the fire district will exceed 800 calls in 2015.

NBF&R is the sponsoring government entity that just received $130,000 grant from Homeland Security to fund a Mass Casualty Incident trailer, a “Sim” man for training purposes, and ham radio upgrades. “We have an amazing community, and working together on the emergency planning and preparations for this grant were possible because of our partnerships with Tillamook County Emergency Management, the EVC, CERTs and MRC,” Sherbaugh said. “We are here to take care of our citizens during any emergency, and to do it to the best of our ability. We take pride in doing our jobs every day.”

Pirates flood Rogue River with too much ‘Max’

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net

Rogue River came to Rockaway Beach Friday with a full team, but they weren’t ready for a team of one.

The one thing the Chieftains couldn’t prepare for was Max Halverson.

The 3A squad from Southern Oregon agreed to change the planned varsity contest from 11-man to 8-man football after injuries cut the Neah-Kah-Nie to only 13 healthy players after the Warrenton game a week earlier.

The injuries also forced the school to drop the remainder of the varsity season and try to cobble together a mixture of 8-man and junior varsity contests.

Both schools only had a few days to convert to their plays to the smaller eightman teams.

The Neah-Kah-Nie quarterback ran over the visiting Chieftains for eight touchdowns and four twopoint conversions Friday in a 62-40 non-league homecoming win.

Halverson started early with a short five-yard run on the second play of the game with 11:25 left in the first quarter. His first play from scrimmage was a 45-yard run. The second was the touchdown.

The lead lasted only four minutes, when Rogue River quarterback Jaden Bliven scored from six yards out.

Derek Nelson got the twopoint conversion for an 8-6 lead.

That lead didn’t last long either, in spite of a 50-yard run touchdown run by Halverson being wiped off the books by a penalty.

Freshman Tucker Champ turned a first and 20 at the Pirates’ 40-yard line into a first and 10 at the Chieftains’ 37-yard line.

One play later, Halverson scored his second touchdown of the night that gave Neah-Kah-Nie a 12-8 lead with 6:54 left in the quarter.

Rogue River came back with a drive of its own, but a sack by freshman Tristan Bennett forced the Chieftains to try to convert a fourth and eight at the

Pirates’ 38-yard line.

But Bliven slipped on the wet grass, ending the threat.

Three plays by Halverson put the Pirates in the end zone again on a 30-yard run with 2:29 left in the quarter.

A penalty after score moved the ball back 15 yards on the conversion attempt, but Halverson weaved his way into the end zone.

That built up an 20-8 lead

But it was Halverson scoring again a minute later on a 32-yard run, followed by a two-point conversion to build a 28-16 lead with 8:34 left.

Halverson cut short Rogue River’s attempt to rally with an interception which set up another score.

Then, Halverson would score from the six with 3:33 left to build a 34-16 lead for the Pirates.

The Pirates resumed their scoring barrage with Halverson scoring on a 25-yard run and adding the two-point conversion with 7:29 left in the third quarter for a 48-16 lead.

Blivens responded with an 80-yard kickoff return, and added a pass to to Dean

Neah-Kah-Nie quarterback Max Halverson breaks into the open during a rainstorm in the first half of Friday’s game with Rogue River in Rockaway Beach. for the Pirates.

After a drive stalled deep in Pirate territory, the Pirates got possession only to lose it on a fumble.

Rogue River’s quarterback scored on an 11-yard run, cutting the lead to 20-16 with the two-point conversion and 9:35 left in the first half.

Senior Chet Tidwell recovered a fumble on the kickoff, setting up another score. Champ went in from one-yard out with 37 seconds left. Halverson added a two-point conversion to make the score 42-16.

Rogue River made another turnover on the kickoff, losing the ball to

Nelson for the conversion, 48-24.

Halverson scored from 26 yards with 5:01 left in the third quarter, giving the hosts a 54-24 lead.

The Chieftains got back on the scoreboard with 10:55 left in the game on a 56-yard pass to Josh Tambellini and a two-point

Delphian and one-half game ahead of Knappa in the standings.

Nestucca wasn’t as lucky losing a 3-0 decision Thursday to Knappa, falling to 1-5.

Neah-Kah-Nie hosted

league-leadingVernonia Tuesday, while Life Chrisstian visited Nestucca.

Nestucca hosts City Christian Thursday at 6 p.m, while the Pirates host Faith Bible at 7 p.m.

The game Friday also burned up all the quarters the players were allowed by the OSAA, so that means the team will have a week to heal up more. The next game, according to Ross, would be a Monday afternoon JV game.

“Right now, we are just taking it week by week,” he added.

“From our angle, it looked like he was being forced out of bounds (on the far side of the field) and then he came back,” the coach said after the game.”That was quite a run.

“It was a first time for us playing eight-man football,” he added. “It is nice when you have got a weapon like Max. He is really a good athlete and if you give him some open space, he’s hard to tackle. There is so much green out there when they are playing eight-man football that you are just not going to get him.”

The eight-man game really opened the field up for Halverson and he responded with eight touchdowns in just over three quarters of play, the coach said. “He had well over 200 yards rushing,” Ross said.

“He is just a gifted, gifted athlete,” he added. Although the coaches relished the win for their players, they also knew that the cancellation of the varsity schedule would also hurt them this season. There will be no players earning all-league recognition this year, Ross said.

“But he has another year left,” the coach said of Max. The remainder of the schedule this year is not yet finalized, the coach said.

“We are still at 13 bodies.

We have 12 kids out (of the lineup) and nine were season-ending injuries. So the most we would be able to get back is three.”

“We are pretty much committed now to a JV schedule or eight-man football, so we have to see what we can do,” Ross explained.

Lady Pirates battling for NWL playoff berth Neah-Kah-Nie stayed in the Northwest League volleyball race Thursday with a victory over Life Christian.

The 3-2 win put the Lady Pirates in fourth (32), one-half game behind

conversion, cutting the lead to 54-32.

Bliven scored again on a 40-yard run with 5:48 left in the game, cutting the lead to 54-40 with the two-point conversion.

Halverson, who was on the sidelines for most the fourth quarter was back at the helm for the Pirates and started with an 11-yard run.

He sprinted into the end zone on a 30-yard run which was more than double the distance. It was a move that even surprised coach Scott Ross.

“From our angle, it looked like he was being forced out of bounds (on the far side of the field) and then he came back,” the coach said after the game.”That was quite a run.

“It was a first time for us playing eight-man football,” he added. “It is nice when you have got a weapon like Max.

Farmer’s market manager moves on and leaves us nourished

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia Laura Swanson doesn’t remember when she fell in love with food, it’s just always been that way. “I grew up here in Tillamook County and graduated from Neah-Kah-Nie high school. My father was a hunter and clamdigger/harvester, so we always had delicious local foods to eat.” Laura shared with me over a congenial piece of carrot cake. “So I guess you could say I have always been local and into local foods.”

This all made sense to me as Laura just “retired” as Manzanita’s Farmers Market manager after eight years of faithful and fruitful service. It was obvious to me that someone with a great love of local foods has been cultivating our market and Laura positively bubbles with it. She was hired as the Market Manager in 2008 after a group of citizens realized that the market they had started out grew their volunteer efforts.

“In 2006, the market was started by a group of citizens that really wanted a farmers market in our area. Ginger Edwards (formerly Salkowski), Julianne Johnson, Rich Kennedy, Craig Mackie, Fawn Russo, Bunny Frost, Beth Basile, and Sherri Raschio, were the founders and first volunteer board of the market.” Laura filled me in, “Walt and Kay Covert are also considered founding members as well because they were so accommodating and supportive to having the market in their parking lot of Windermere Manzanita (now Kamali Sotheby).”

“From the very beginning, the market board has been a great support team to work with that are integral and key to this market happening. “ Laura shared, “In fact, I couldn’t have done it without them or my daughter Kalli. When I was hired, there was a joke that the market got a “two-fer” because my daughter Kalli was always by my side helping with everything. She started the face painting and children’s booth as well,” Laura beamed.

One of the carrots that sprang up from Laura’s time at the market was turning the market into a zero waste market.

“We started the zero waste program at the market the third year I was there. Ginger (Edwards) and I sorta tip toed into it. It was her idea that she brought from the Oregon Country Fair, where they have been doing it for a long time.” Laura continued, “The first thing we did was provide real forks for the market as one of the things we identified as being a real problem was all the plastic silverware that isn’t recyclable and isn’t that great to eat with.”

So through Cartm Recycling and other sources they acquired lots of real metal flatware and distributed that to all the ready to eat food vendors, and then would collect them at the zero waste station at the entrance to

the market. “On top of doing that we would recycle everything we possibly could and we mandated that all of our vendors use recyclable materials.” Laura told me, “The next issue was the problem with paper plates and that is when we moved into providing plates and bowls that are reusable and also collected at the zero waste station at the market.”

With this program in place, this year the market only produced a small trash can of garbage at the end of every market, opposed to large amounts that they used to have. “We went from spending hundreds of dollars on trash a month to twenty bucks.” Laura accounted, “It has been amazing.” She was recently at a farmer’s markets conference where she was going to speak on promotional techniques but everyone was more interested in the zero waste program that she implemented. “I ended up speaking mostly about the program so the promoter of the conference said we should probably have me come back to do a workshop on it.” Laura said.

Yes, Laura’s enthusiasm for everything she does has certainly been reflected in our incredible farmers market. But, her zeal for life has taken her to other pastures as she is now the editor of the North Coast Citizen where she is equally qualified being in the industry for 25 years. “I have loved managing the farmers market all these years and I am really looking forward to getting my summers back.” She said almost wistfully.

“I’m looking forward to spending more time in our garden next year.”

Laura and her husband Rich, who are combined certified master gardener and landscaper love to create beautiful food together.

Not only do they cook a lot but they employ intensive gardening (which is growing stuff really close together to keep out the weeds) that uses a lot of perennials for low maintenance. Their latest endeavor has been to grow hops and make their own beer out of it. “We made a raspberry beer recently from our huge crop of raspberries and hops we got this year, and it was AMAZING!” Laura said rolling her eyes and practically drooling.

The next locavore to take the carrot stick of running the market is the native Oregonian Emily Vollmer, who is more than qualified to take over with not only a great love of local food, gardening, farmers markets, flower arranging, and sustainability but comes with quite the pedigree of degrees to back her up. Laura said, “She is the perfect fit for the market and our community in general. We are very lucky to have her.”

I asked Laura to share one of her favorite recipes with us to celebrate her matriculation. Being an avid cook, it was difficult to narrow down her recipes but we settled on her roasted red pepper soup. “It is really easy to take a few simple ingredients and make your own soups that are healthy for you and are so much better than anything out of a can.” Laura expressed.

“This soup calls for a half a cup of cream or half and half but I never add it. The soup turns out so thick with the roasted red peppers that it really doesn’t need it.”

She likes to roast her own red peppers that they grow in their green house and freeze them in one cup portions in the freezer. “It really isn’t that hard to roast your own but if you want, you can use bottled roasted red peppers for this soup. I can make this soup in less than 30 minutes, it is quick and tasty.” Thank you Laura for your years of nourishing our market and for this delicious soup to keep us nourished.

Laura’s Roasted Red Pepper Soup Serves 4-6. The original recipe came from a friend of Laura’s and food genius Darlene Jones.

medium heat, melt the butter. Toss in the onions and garlic and sauté until tender and fragrant. Add the roasted peppers and broth and simmer about 15 mins or so till everything is mingling well. Mechanically puree your concoction somehow, either in a blender, food processor or immersion blender. Pour it back

2 cups of roasted red peppers (about 4 big peppers) 2 TBLS of butter 2 fat onions, sliced 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp of salt or to taste 4 cups of chicken broth 1/2 cup of Half and half (optional) Few cranks of black pepper 1/4 tsp of Cayenne Pepper (Or to taste)

in your saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir in the half and half if desired and add the pepper and the cayenne.

Taste and add more seasoning if you fancy it. Enjoy this beautiful red fall-ish soup!

Laura’s easy instruction to Roast Peppers – Clean, remove seeds and ribbing; flatten on lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Roast under broiler, middle shelf for 10-15 minutes until skin is blackened. Carefully remove and place in heavy duty freezer bag or brown paper bag to steam until cool. Peel skin under cool water. Ta daa! Roasted your own peppers.

Now onto the soup; Take out a large heavy saucepan and over

FISHING REPORT

NORTH COAST LAKES A few rainbow trout were stocked in Cape Meares Lake recently, and some of those fish should still be available.

Hebo Lake and Town Lake are scheduled for stocking with surplus larger trout the week of Sept. 21.

Warm water fishing is slow.

Coffenbury, Cullaby, Sunset, Lytle, Cape Meares, and Town lakes, and Vernonia Pond all offer opportunity for largemouth bass. Weed growth and water quality may make fishing challenging in some areas.

The latest trout stocking schedule.

KILCHIS RIVER: cutthroat, Chinook Cutthroat fishing should be fair. Sea-run cutthroat should be available in good numbers in tidewater areas and are moving to upstream areas. Water levels are low and clear so use very

light gear. A few fall Chinook may be starting to enter tidewater areas.

NEHALEM RIVER AND BAY: Chinook, cutthroat, coho Fishing for Chinook is fair to good. Some hatchery coho are being caught also. Troll herring or spinners near the bottom, or bobber fish in upper tidewater.

Sea-run cutthroat can be caught throughout the bay and tidewater areas, and further upstream. Troll or cast small lures or flies along the channel margins or in areas of cover, such as logs or woody debris.

The Nehalem Bay and River is closed to the retention of wild (non-finclipped) coho salmon this year.

NESTUCCA RIVER AND THREE RIVERS: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Fall Chinook fishing is fair to good in the bay. Trolling herring near the mouth is producing fish, with bobber/bait and

spinners producing near Pacific City and into upper tidewater areas. Steelhead fishing is slow to fair, with some decent bites coinciding with recent rain events.

Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair to good. Three Rivers is closed to all fishing downstream of the hatchery.

The bay and tidewater below Cloverdale will be open to the retention of wild coho on Sundays and Mondays only, from Sept. 20-Nov 2. One adult wild coho per season may be kept.

days only, through Oct. 31.

TRASK RIVER: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Fall Chinook are available in tidewater in increasing numbers. A few hatchery coho are making their way through tidewater and into the lower river also. An occasional summer steelhead is still being caught.

Fishing for cutthroat trout is fair to good. The hatchery hole area is closed to all fishing through Oct. 15. Anglers are reminded that the Dam Hole (near MP 7 on Trask River Road) is closed through November.

Anglers who catch a steelhead or salmon with numbered tag(s) are encouraged to report catch information via the internet or by calling ODFW at 503-842-2741 and asking for Derek Wiley. All live tagged fish that are not legal to retain or are voluntarily not kept should be released quickly and unharmed with tags intact.

TILLAMOOK BAY: Chinook, coho Fishing for Chinook and hatchery coho is fair to good.

Trolling herring or spinners are the two most popular techniques. Fish are being caught throughout the bay. Casting spinners for hatchery coho can be productive at times in some of the mid-bay channels. The bay is open to wild coho retention (1 adult wild coho for the season) on Fridays and Satur-
