hirty-four Tillamook County nonprofits filled rooms 214 and 215 at Tillamook Bay Community College on Thursday Oct. 8 ready to tell their stories and all about the volunteer opportunities at each their worthy organizations to willing community members.

“Build it and they will come,” Deborah Mather, volunteer event coordinator said. “Over 60 community members attended.”

The overall response from participants and attendees was positive. “We’ve been talking about putting this together for years, and it’s great to see it finally happen,” Kathleen Marvin of Tillamook County Womens Resource Center said.

FAMILY PUMPKIN PATCH DAY — Sunday October 18 - 1 to 3 p.m.

Come celebrate the Season at Alder Creek Farm, and the bounty of the pumpkin patch. The community is invited to Alder Creek Farm (35955 Undershill Lane, Nehalem) on Sunday October 18th from 1 to 3 p.m. This FREE event will include harvest fun including pumpkin painting, games, garden taste tours, hot cider and more.

“When we heard that not all the classes at Nehalem Elmentary were going to be able to make the trip to the pumpkin patch this year, we wanted to be sure that the local children had the traditional opportunity to have a locally grown pumpkin,” said Lower Nehalem Community Trust Garden Coordinator Karen Matthews. “For over 10 years, the school children have beencoming to the garden in the fall to learn about the harvest time, play games and score a locally grown pumpkin. We wanted to make sure that traditional continues.” Neah-Kah-Nie High School Honor Society students will be assisting with the activities. Many of these students were among the first classes that enjoyed the experience a local pumpkin patch. For more information, contact Matthews at 503-705-5203 or see nehalemtrust.org.

n July, the Tillamook County Commissioners designated 2016 as the “Year of Wellness” (YOW), and tasked a variety of stakeholders with developing a plan of action to involve and encourage county residents to get healthy. “The cost of preventable, chronic disease is growing and unsustainable,” said county commissioner Bill Baertlein.

“Traditional approaches to population health improvements have not been successful in improving health outcomes or reducing costs, so we need to take it to the streets, and get people involved to take control of their own health. For the health of our county and communities.”

The Year of Wellness is a community-led effort to improve selected basic health matters through

art of the Halloween traditions are scary and frightening, and for some families, it’s frightening for other reasons – food allergies, particularly peanut or tree nut allergies, can make the ordinary “trick-or-treating” truly a life or death situation. It’s hard to imagine how it is for families with food allergies or sensitivities and the daily struggles these family’s face, let alone trying to be “normal”. Imagine never being able to experience trick-or-treating because it’s just too risky.

Aprilmarie Eckstrom of Manzanita Sweets candy story and Toylandia decided to make this year’s Hall-O-Nita event all inclusive – a peanut-free/non-food, trick-ortreating extravaganza. Eckstrom has enlisted nearly 50 Manzanita merchants to don “teal” pumpkins to indicate to families that the treats being given away are peanut-free and/or they are giving away nonfood items. “I know of several kids in our community that suffer from peanut allergies, so it’s always been important to me to be able to provide candy and treats that they can enjoy, too,” said Eckstrom. “We are very excited to be a part of the Teal

pumpkin project (tealpumpkinproject.org) this year which promotes peanut/nut free/nonfood options for kids with allergies, we are hoping that we will have a street with teal pumpkins!” Manzanita’s Hall-ONita invites costumed kiddies to visit local merchants from 3 to 5 pm on Saturday October 31st.

Here is a small list of food safe/ peanut/nut-free candies: Skittles, Swedish fish, Mikes and Ikes, Wonka’s Nerds and nerds ropes, Laffy Taffy, Runts, Double Bubble gum, Tootsie pops and Tootsie rolls, Junior Mints, Lifesaver gummies, Smarties, Sour Patch, Whoppers, Sweet Tarts, DumDum lollipops, Pop Rocks, Bottle Camps, Now and Laters, Zours, Hot Tamales, Red Vines, Jolly Ranchers, York peppermint patties, Twizzlers, Rolos and Starbursts.

“Teal Pumpkin Project” -- What it Means if You See a Teal Pumpkin This Halloween Trick-or-treating is an age old tradition, but for parents whose kids can’t just eat whatever they get their hands on, it can be a completely stressful endeavor, and it may be confusing and not much fun for the kids. Besides peanut allergies, there are other food allergies, celiac disease, diabetes, food intolerances, and other special

diets that can make it a struggle for some families to just feed their child things that they didn’t buy or make yourself. If your kid gets exposed to something she shouldn’t be eating, the risks can vary, but they can be pretty devastating—it can affect behavior, cause discomfort, result in serious illness and sometimes even cause death.

While there is no way that anyone can possibly accommodate every person everywhere when handing out treats, there is a way to accommodate everyone with an awesome teal pumpkin.

That’s what Manzanita is doing for Hall-O-Nita – and you can, too! Paint a pumpkin teal and let it hang out on your porch. If you do so, the trick-or-treaters know that they can come by your house and their kids can be handed something that won’t make them sick and won’t potentially kill them. So consider painting a pumpkin teal this Halloween and stocking up on non-food items to hand out. Teal pumpkins mean that you know that not all kids can have all foods and that you can provide a fun non-food treat to the little ghosts and goblins that visit your home on October 31st. The Teal Pumpkin Project is working on getting the word out to everyone that having non-food

treats at your home makes it a safe place to trick-or-treat. It’s a pretty simple thing to do and can mean so much to your friends and neighbors.

According to families that deal with this issue on a daily basis, “We’ve never seen a teal pumpkin on a doorstep or porch, and it’s going to be amazing for Manzanita merchants, and our communities to support this; the people who do provide non-food treats are definitely appreciated.” Kids adore small gifts like glow sticks, bookmarks, crayons or small notebooks, and they won’t feel ripped off if they get a bunch of awesome stuff like that—and it can really help ease the minds of their parents. So consider painting a pumpkin teal this Halloween and stocking up on non-food items to hand out. You don’t have to completely avoid food treats—just have some of both (in separate bowls or buckets) to allow kids to choose. And you will be a real hero on that spooky night.

Make plans now to enjoy Manzanita’s Hall-O-Nita on Saturday October 31st from 3 to 5 pm.

Task force formed to find housing solutions

By Laura Swanson lswanson@countrymedia.net

T

he Tillamook County Board of Commissioners at their meeting last week on Oct. 7 approved a resolution to establish a Tillamook County Housing Task Force. The goal of the task force is to bring together stake holders from all geographic areas, and economic sectors to participate in a process to create a long-term housing plan for Tillamook County and to look for short-term creative solutions to address the extreme housing crisis in Tillamook County.

Members of the Housing Task Force will include Erin Skaar, Executive Director of CARE, Melissa Carlson-Swanson, Branch Manager Oregon Food Bank Tillamook Services Center, and Commissioner Bill Baertlein.

“From the beginning of his term as commissioner, Bill has focused on human services,” said Skaar. “And early on, he recognized that housing, all types, was a problem.”

The Futures Council reports and community vitality project assessment showed the absence of any projects or plans for housing.

“Ask anyone in the county what the most critical issues are facing the county and housing will appear in the top three,” added Skaar.

The Headlight-Herald’s opinion poll in April of this year, asked “Do you think affordable housing is a problem in Tillamook County?” showed that 80 percent of those answering the poll agreed.

“What makes this such an important issue for Tillamook County is that it is not just low income housing that is not available, it is all types of housing,” Skaar said.

Employers are anxious to be a part of this effort as they are struggling to hire employees at all levels due to the housing shortage.

“All our major employers, the cheese factory, the hospital, the school districts have lost potential employees that tried to move here, but could not find affordable housing or even temporary rentals,” Skaar said.

In support of this effort, Charter has donated $1,500 toward the work of the housing task force. “Charter is pleased to support CARE and help further their mission to provide affordable housing,” says Marian Jackson, Charter’s direc-

tor of government relations. “We hope that our contribution toward this effort, along with the efforts and contributions of many others, will improve the quality of life for many.”

The Housing Task Force has applied for a grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust to facilitate a housing assessment and address immediate affordable housing issues. “The task force has two main goals,” Skaar explained. “The longterm goal is a countywide housing assessment that inventories buildable lands and identifies that Tillamook County has issues that are uniquely difficult for development. This is the traditional, and time-consuming approach.

“The short-term plan is to capture the ‘lowhanging-fruit’ such as tiny houses, duplex and four-plex developments, bringing foreclosed, abandoned homes back into the available inventory,” Skaar continued. “And creative solutions that could make some of the vacation homes that sit empty for months out of year back into the rental market.”

For more information about the task force, how to participate or how to donate to the efforts, call Erin Skaar at 503-842-5261.

Nehalem Valley Historical Society to unveil long-lost table from Manzanita’s first Mayor’s office made from shipwreck wood Sunday, October 18th at 3 p.m. the long missing teak table made from wood from the beeswax ship will be on display at the Nehalem Valley Historical Society. The little table that Ben Lane (Manzanita’s first mayor) had in his office was finally found in the inventory of the Columbia Maritime Museum in Astoria. “The Historical Society asked the Maritime Museum to look for the table among the thousands of items they have in storage,” said NVHS president Tom Mock. “It has been missing for several decades, and took some time to locate, because we weren’t quite sure of its size.”

Jeff Smith, the Maritime Museum’s curator, will be there to answer any questions concerning the table or the Columbia Maritime Museum in general. At the same time another artifact from the beeswax ship has also been obtained and will be on display -- an over 60 pound hunk of beeswax.

This piece is the largest piece found in recent history.

The Nehalem Valley Historical Society will have a brief 15 minute business meet at 3 p.m. followed by an interesting presentation

by Chris Dewey, the president and founder of the Maritime Archaeological Society. Chris will explain

Commentary

Thanks for what you have done!

A short article in a recent edition of the North Coast Citizen made me feel sad.

It was announcing that the local Manza-Whee-Lem Kiwanis Club was disbanding. I know that over the years, many members have come and gone in that organization, and many people, both local and elsewhere, have been the beneficiaries of the work they have done to improve lives. I hope those who have served in the club over the years realize how much their efforts have been appreciated. I am sure they all will continue to do what they can to help others.

More than 46 years ago, I began my life as a member of the Lions Club. I wasn’t sure what the mission was and why these men met every couple

weeks and undertook variticipate. Among the other ous civic and humanitarservice organizations were ian projects. The motto the Rotary Club, the Kiwas easy to wanis Club and, remember: ”WE of course, the SERVE”. LookLions. There ing back I can was a joke going see how some around that said wonderful things that the Rotary have been acowned the city, complished and and the Kiwanis most important ran the city, and is that people’s the Lions did lives have been all the work! I improved, and do know that even saved, by The Old over the years, I the efforts of this have witnessed Geezer club of voluncooperation by teers. all three of those Walt I know there clubs to make Trandum are many insome wonderful dividuals who things happen. belong to organiIn the beginzations who are dedicated ning, those service clubs to service in many ways were all men, and a few and there has always been years ago that stipulation room for more to parwent away and women

have become vital members of every club. The Lions have also sponsored Leos Clubs that allow high school members to serve their communities. Our local Neah-Kah-Nie club is one of the best in the world.

Each year, they work to help the Lions with some projects and have many of their own to make life better for others.

For some reason, service club membership has declined over the years. I remember when just about every business owner and professional in our area were members. Maybe, it was a hold over from the war effort during WWII and Korea that made people aware of their communities and those who might need special care. I know we were always fiercely

athleen Claire Covert, known as Kay, of Manzanita Oregon was 67 years old when she passed away unexpectedly of complications of pneumonia on August 16th, 2015 in St Vincent’s Hospital in Portland Oregon. She was born in Los Angeles CA on November 1st 1947 to Edward and Mary Henlin, the third of four children.

Kay attended the University of California at Berkley where she earned a bachelor’s degree then went on to

obtain her master’s degree in speech therapy from San Francisco State University in 1971. She was a speech therapist until 1986 when she married her high school sweetheart, Walt Covert, after they were reconnected at her 20th year high school class reunion.

In 1989, Walt, Kay, and their son Max, moved to Manzanita Oregon from Long Beach California after falling in love with the area.

Kay and Walt became real estate brokers a few years after arriving and began their career at Ribbon Realty. Ribbon Realty became Windermere and then Walt and Kay bought the business in 1998. They owned Windermere Manzanita until 2012 when they sold it to Kamali/ Sothebys. Kay was an active broker till her passing.

Kay lived her life passionately and everything she did reflected this spirit. Her love of the Manzanita area was evident in her active community involvement.

Since my time on this earth is running out and I will never live to see how it is all going to turn out, I can only offer my thanks to those I have worked with.

The families of those who have served can share in the pride that I will always have in witnessing how even one person can make life better for others and the only thanks they want is the satisfaction gained for their efforts. Those members of all service organizations should be proud of their contributions over the years and I hope it continues in the future.

If you know any of those former members of the Kiwanis give them a pat on the back and a sincere thank you.

She believed in making this the best community possible and helped start numerous organizations in the area such as the Fitness Center at NCRD where she taught aerobics for many years, The Teen Center at NCRD, Cart’m Recycling, The Farmers Market, and the Manzanita Business Association that later became Manzanita Chamber of Commerce. Kay was the president of the latter for many years as she ardently believe in promoting and supporting local businesses and crafts people. She was the drumbeat behind the Visitor’s Center being built on Laneda Avenue early last year. Kay also enjoyed being a part of the Women’s Club, Neahkahnie Club, and many others.

Kay was kind, generous, gracious and supportive. She encouraged others to be the best they could be and these qualities are reflected in her community where she is greatly loved. She also had

a keen interest and concern for the welfare of animals rescuing many cats along the way and treasuring many dogs.

She is survived by her husband Walt Covert of Manzanita OR and son Max Covert of Nehalem OR. She is also survived by her older twin sisters, Margie and Maryjo, younger brother Paul, their families and numerous close friends that call her family.

A community gathering to honor Kay will be held Nov 1st in the NCRD Gym in Nehalem OR at 4:30pm with a reception following at the NCRD kitchen and gallery where we shall toast this classy lady. The family encourages everyone to support your local businesses to remember her. Please make memorial donations to United Paws at https:// unitedpaws.wordpress.com/ donate/ and to Tillamook Animal Shelter at http:// www.tillamookanimalshelter.org/help.htm.

Hoffman Center offers oil painting class The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will offer Oil Painting classes on four consecutive Thursdays, starting Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day.

Tuition will be $165 for the initial 4 weeks.

According to teacher Karen Gale, the instruction is designed to take students from “where they are to the next level.” She added, “Participants will learn the elements of art and design, classic painting techniques, and color theory through the process of creating their own paintings.”

Students who already

work with oils are asked to bring their own supplies. A complete list will be provided at registration.

Students new to oil painting can be provided materials for an additional $20.

The class may evolve into a weekly drop-in oil painting group.

Gale has been teaching art for eight years and is experienced to both beginning and experienced artists.

She studied in the Department of Art and Design at Southern Utah University. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, she created the Pike Road Painters

artist group in Yamhill, joined Currents Gallery in McMinnville as an artist and teacher, and founded Pease House Art in Oregon City. She lives in Bay City, teaches art, paints, and is illustrating a children’s book.

Interested persons can register for the oil painting class on-line at http://hoffmanblog.org/ongoing-classes/register-for-workshops Registration is needed no later than Monday, Oct. 26.

Questions about the class can be referred to Gale at peasehouseart@gmail.com.

The Riverbend Players Community Theater presents ‘Over the River and Through the Woods’ “Tengo famiglia!” -- an Italian expression that means “hold the family together” -- weaves its way throughout “Over the River and Through the Woods.” This hit offBroadway comedy written

by Joe DiPietro is the latest Riverbend Players production, a hilarious comedy that is even funnier than his long-running musical revue “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The story: Nick is a single, ItalianAmerican guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida, but that doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner, which is a routine until he has to tell them that he’s been offered a dream job. This job he’s been waiting for - marketing executive - would take him away from his beloved, but annoying grandparents. The news

doesn’t sit so well when Nick tells his grandparents the news. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around.

The Riverbend Players production is directed by Jeff Slamal. Jeff has been in several productions including “Take a Number Darling” and “The Foreigner”. Rosa Erlebach, assistant director, has also appeared in a number of Riverbend Players plays. The cast of characters include the following: Nick Cristano, the grandson who is about to break family tradition, is played by Peter McClure; Catlin O’Hare, a nice Irish girl, played

by Annie Naranjo-Rivera; Frank Gainelli (maternal grandfather) played by Michael Dinan and Aida Gainelli (maternal grandmother) played by Sedona Torres; Nunzio Cristano (paternal grandfather) played by Mike Scott and

Oregon Beach Monitoring Program sets public meetings to discuss new ‘beach action value’ for health advisories

Courtesy Photo Jim and Lynn Mudd of Manzanita celebrate 26 years of inspiring donors, teachers, parents, children, and community members. The foundation they co-founded with Doug Nicholson has raised and granted over one million dollars for learning experiences for young people in north Tillamook County in the past seven years.

The Oregon Beach Monitoring Program (OBMP) has scheduled a series of public meetings this month to discuss its adoption of a new, lower “beach action value” (BAV) that will be used as the basis for public health advisories at Oregon beaches.

The new BAV for bacteria will be 70 MPN starting in 2017. The 2015 and 2016 monitoring seasons will remain unchanged and continue to use the current BAV of 158 MPN. The adoption of the new BAV is recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Studies suggest that exposure to bacteria levels below 158 MPN may still cause

gastrointestinal illnesses from accidental ingestion of water during recreational activities.

At the meetings, the Beach Monitoring Program also will solicit public comments about beaches to be included in the 2017-2018 monitoring seasons (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Public comments can be submitted to the program at beach.health@state.or.us through April 2016.

Meeting schedule • South Coast: October 20, 6-9 p.m., Marshfield High School, Heritage Hall, South 10th and Ingersoll Street, Coos Bay. • Mid Coast: October 21, 6-9 p.m., Newport Recreation

Center, Room 124-B, 225 SE Avery Street, Newport.

• North Coast: October 22, 6-9 p.m., Chamber of Commerce, Community Hall Main Room, 207 N Spruce, Cannon Beach.

• Portland metro: October 29, 4-6 p.m., Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, EQC-A (10th floor), 811 SW Sixth Ave., Portland.

The Oregon Beach Monitoring Program monitors the waters along Oregon’s coastline for the presence of fecal bacteria and reports elevated levels to the public. For more information, visit the program’s website at www. healthoregon.org/beaches.

Talking about Dying On October 8th, about 40 avid learners packed into North Tillamook Library to engage in a ninety-minute interactive program that explored the subject of dying, sponsored by the Tillamook County Library.

Talking about Dying is a statewide initiative by Oregon Humanities, created in partnership with Cambia Health Foundation, to bring thirty conversations about death and dying to communities across the state from September through November. Talking about Dying provides Oregonians with an opportunity to reflect on what stories and influences shape their thinking about death and dying and to hear different perspectives and ideas from

fellow community members.

Facilitator, Andrea Cano, framed the discussion by asking each attendee to describe his/her concept of death in just one word.

The words reflected the experiences and beliefs of the person – “grief, transition, chores, lonely, transformation, release, inevitability, ending, peace, despair, fear, mother, grandchildren, friends…”

She continued prompting introspection by posing other questions: What do you think about when you think of dying? As people you’ve known have moved closer to death, what seemed to work well for them and the people close to them?

The topics stirred up deep, and sometimes

uncomfortable sentiments.

People shared how they prepared emotionally and practically for the death of a loved one and gave advice on impediments they faced. Maintaining control and dignity was a common answer to the question - What do you want most as you are dying?

“Death is not a medical event,” was one of the last thoughts Ms. Cano left with the audience. Participants came away from this program understanding the value of community support and importance of further reflection and planning as they shape a meaningful approach to death and dying.

Further discussions on the topic co-sponsored by North Tillamook Library Friends and the Rinehart Clinic are being planned for spring 2016.

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will combine film, art and a discussion of an historic pilgrimage across Spain Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

The film will be “Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago.” Directed by Lydia B. Smith of Portland, the 2013 documentary tells the story of six people attempting the famed 500-mile trek to Santiago de Compostela across northern Spain.

The pilgrims followed in the footsteps of similar sojourners over the past 1,200 years who have undertaken

the physical, emotional and spiritual experience as a personal journey into themselves.

Smith will attend the screening to facilitate the discussion.

At least four residents of North Tillamook County – Mike and Sally Vanebo, Robin Lieberman, and Julianne Johnson -- who completed the trip, will also be on hand to talk about their own experiences.

Lieberman created a series of art works following the trek and will have several of them on display at

the Center. The works will remain up through Nov. 8.

“I’ve wanted to show this film since I first heard about it two years ago,” said Center film program leader David Dillon. “I knew we could combine it with local people who completed the walk and make this a very special evening.”

Admission to the event will be $5. The documentary lasts 84 minutes, and refreshments will be available.

A film trailer can be viewed at http://caminodocumentary.org

North Tillamook Library Bookcomber Book Review ‘The Goldfinch’ by Donna Tartt Imagine being able to keep readers’ attention throughout a novel of 771 pages. Donna Tartt is a skilled writer, of that there is no doubt. If one were to believe all the glowing reviews of The Goldfinch, one would think it would be a novel in the Dickens’ tradition! However, in reading the 2 and ½ pound book, a less monumental view emerges. The characters are finely drawn: Theo, Boris his Ukrainian sidekick in Vegas, Hobie, Pippa, Mrs. Barbour and Theo’s gambler father. The plots are absorbing: a tragedy in which a young boy’s mother is killed; a famous painting survives an explosion; a dead man’s ring leads a teen to a kind and caring man; and a young boy’s estranged father finally comes forward to help

him. There are plot lines that are disturbing: drugs and their effects on a teenager; the lack of parenting skills on the part of several would-be saviors; continuous drug-induced bad decisions and complete lack of personal responsibility on the part of the main characters.

Some plots are believable and understandable; others not so much. Perhaps plots taken from real life are harder to believe than fiction, but the reader’s imagination is stretched. The themes of beauty and its value, family and fate are intertwined effectively. This thirteen year old boy knows right from wrong – hence the guilt that seems to haunt his whole life. Theo is so obsessed with a painting that he can’t seem to turn it into the authorities. The niggling questions

that remain unanswered are: How on earth did Theo find a shopping bag in all the confusion of the explosion? Didn’t he want to keep the gold ring given to him by the dying man? How does a 14 year old cross the country with a dog in tow on a bus without anyone stopping him? How did an impoverished single mom save money for her son to go to college? Did Ms. Tartt have to include a ring of professional art thieves into the mix? The largely unedited book moves swiftly from tragedy to tragedy towards an ending that, while somewhat plausible, makes one think that the art police should have been called at a much earlier time! That said, Donna Tartt has a way of keeping the reader involved

until the last page.

Emergency ‘Go Bag’ Class returns The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay will repeat its popular free workshop on what local individuals and families should pack in their emergency “Go Bags” Thursday, Oct. 22, from noon to 2 p.m. at the fire station in Bayside Gardens.

Larry Wiedenhoft and Tim Anderson will lead the class, which will cover: What are the most important things to have in a Go Bag? How long should someone plan to be away

from home?

Where is the best place to store a Go Bag? Should Go Bags be

taken to assembly sites or shelter?

What is the difference between “shelterin-place” supplies and those needed in a Go Bag? Wiedenhoft and Anderson invite people who already have Go Bags to come to the class and learn what’s new.

Attendees should feel free to bring a lunch.

Questions about the “Go Bag” workshop can be referred to Linda Kozlowski and president@evcnb.org.

Apples ­— the secretly disguised superheroes

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia

I

recently scored a huge box of beautiful organic apples picked from a local tree. When I opened the box and breathed in the aroma of fall, I was struck with how this common fruit is really a superhero posing in plain clothing. Immortal and extraordinary, the apple has been flying out of phone booths and through history in art, science experiments, legends, and torrid love affairs. It has also been seen flexing its vast muscles and protecting health and smashing disease for centuries.

The wild apple of ancient Asia, malus pumila, a member of the rose family, is the ancestor of our current juicy superstar apple.

The malus was small and sour, much like our crab apples. There are many tales told of this ancient apple and its rise to fame but the ever imaginative Romans are credited with cultivating it into the predecessor of our caped crusader. They began the magic by creating 7 different varieties of the apple. There are now over 7,500 varieties of apples being grown worldwide. The leading producer of apples is China, (big surprise!) with the US coming in second with Washington State as the quarterback.

There is a wee bit of controversy that needs to be cleared up for our superstar. The apple has never deserved the publicity that it was the downfall of the Garden of Eden. (But I guess every super hero is misunderstood occasionally.) According to historians there is no specific name given to the fruit Eve tasted from that notorious tree.

They believe Eve’s fruit of temptation might have been a pomegranate or possibly even a quince since those were the popular fruit during the time the bible was written.

No matter what the mysterious past of the apple is, today it is the world’s favorite champion fruit with American’s eating an average of 50 pounds per person. Johnny Appleseed was on to something when he planted apple trees across the country, bringing nourishment for generations to come. (Even though it is rumored that he planted the trees for hard cider) The nutritional benefits of our humble hotshot are astounding. A medium apple eaten raw with the peel on has only 81 calories and a whopping 3.7 grams of soluble fiber. (Make sure and eat them with the skin on, most of the good stuff is in there.) It is also loaded with antioxidants, potassium, folic acid, Vit C and calcium. The amazing apple also has been shown in studies to reduce the chance of lung, breast and colon problems and consequent cancer. An apple a day really does keep the doctor away!

How does one pick the right apple out of 7500 different varieties for the dish?

I once again, sacrificed myself and my husband for the good of all, and found that out. Honeycrisps are the BEST for eating and baking. They even edged out the old reliable granny smiths. Galas are a pretty good all-around apple too if you can’t find honeycrisps.

Macintoshes are the best applesauce apple but do not bake with them or you just get mush.

There are so many wonderful varieties of apples that are being dusted off from the past now, it is incredible to gaze upon them in wonder. The farmer’s market in Portland has a few apple farmer vendors that offer heirloom varieties that are flying back in style again. It is so much fun to taste the difference in all these apples! I recommended you do your own personal trials with apples and see what you uncover of this super hero in disguise. Start with this very simple dish to highlight the brilliance of the apple.

Honey Apple Crisp This recipe can be gluten and dairy free, but not vegan due to its use of honey. If you wish to make vegan just sub maple syrup for the honey. Make sure and use organic apples as conventional apples are loaded with toxins. Serves 4-6

A pinch of salt 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts 1/4 cup of butter or coconut oil, melted 1/4 cup of honey 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

The fruit 4 large apples, peeled, cored and cut into slices 1/2 lemon, squeezed over the apples 1/2 cup of raisins (optional) 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom 2 tablespoons of honey

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and pick out a beautiful pie plate or 9x9 baking dish and lightly oil it. First, make the fruit filling by tossing the apples with the lemon juice in a mediumish bowl. Sprinkle in the raisins and spices and toss till combined then drizzle in the honey and stir till well incorporated. Arrange the apple slices in your baking vessel and set aside till you get the topping made.

The crisp 1/2 cup of almond flour or wheat flour 1 cup of gluten free oats

FISHING REPORT NORTH COAST LAKES 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.

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 (nonfinclipped) 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. The bay and tidewater below Cloverdale will be open to the retention of wild coho on

To make the topping, stir the flour, oats, pecans, salt and cinnamon together till it is all blended nicely. While stirring this mix, slowly add your melted butter, then the honey till the mixture gets clumpy. Lastly, stir in your pure vanilla to make your nose dance. Pour the crumble topping over the apples and pat down so it fills the crevasses of the apples. Tuck in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes till the topping is just starting to get golden and a knife easily slips into the apples. Try not to buzz about at the end of the baking as honey and nuts burn quickly. Serve with ice cream or vanilla yogurt. (of course)

Sundays and Mondays only, from Sept. 20-Nov 2. One adult wild coho per season may be kept.

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 Saturdays 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. The 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.

WILSON RIVER: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Summer steelhead fishing is slow. Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair. Use lighter gear for best results as the water is extremely low and clear. Fall Chinook angling in tidewater will improve over the coming weeks as more fish arrive.
