As area residents dry off after a wet ‘n wild three days of inclement weather, a couple of nagging questions linger. What does this winter hold? Was the early fall storm an anomaly or is it a harbinger of things yet to come? Time will tell. As storms go, the leftovers from a typhoon on the other side of the Pacific, coupled with a low-pressure system that dropped down from the Gulf of Alaska on Sunday, the activity didn’t match the intensity of the December 2007 storm with its hurricane-force winds or the February 1996 “Pineapple Express” soaker, which produced significant flooding on the coast and inland. However, those storms were winter storms. My gosh, it’s only the end of September. Manzanita received six inches of rain, as did Bay City, according to Gordon

Mudd Nicks continue to evolve and grow By Dave Fisher The Citizen
What started out as a golf tournament, an opportunity for a few old college buddies to get together once a year in Manzanita and enjoy each other’s company, has evolved into one of the premier fundraising events in north Tillamook County. On Sept. 20 and 21, the Mudd Nick Foundation once again hosted its annual golf tournament, which started 25 years ago, and charity auction and banquet attended by over 170 people, and that’s not counting the over 60 volunteers who pitched in to ensure that everythi9ng ran smoothly.
“It gets better every year, “ said Donna Miller, program coordinator for the foundation, who was most appreciative of the volunteer force. “They did everything, including the dishes, and that’s not counting the Neah-Kah-Nie choir or band members that helped set up the chairs.” Among the helpers were Neah-Kah-Nie and NCRD staff members along with a few parents of students. Jim Mudd, one of the foundation’s original founders, said the nature of the event has changed in recent years. Not only is the number of attendees growing, but more Manzanita area residents are part

It’s 1913 and the Citizen is there! Editor’s note: Okay, admittedly, it’s a bit of a stretch, but we thought it might be fun if the North Coast Citizen reported the story as it happened in 1913 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Glenesslin shipwreck at Neah-Kah-Nie. Sorry it took 100 years to make the paper. Special thanks to historian Mark Beach for the photographs and his efforts in keeping the story in proper historical context. Enjoy. The accompanying article is reprinted from a previous edition of the Citizen.
The Glenesslin lies stranded on rocks at the base of Neahkahnie Mountain. Fortunately, photographer Ward Meyer was in his Wheeler studio and could rush to the scene in time to take this photo for the Citizen.
SHIPWRECKED! British ship Glenesslin runs aground at base of Neahkahnie Mountain – No lives lost
29467 70001 8
Mrs. Samuel Reed could hardly believe what she was seeing. Shortly after 2 p.m.
on October first the clipper Glenesslin ran aground on the rocky base of Neahkahnie Mountain. The vessel was four months out of Santos, Brazil, bound for Portland for a load of grain. From her vantage point at the Neahkahnie Tavern, Mrs. Reed has seen many ships off the coast, but never one as close as the Glenesslin, which, she said, sailed
straight onto the rocks. “A slight haze covered the ocean,” she said, “but not enough to hide the ship as it approached land.” Mr. Reed witnessed the event from high above where he was surveying a new road around the front of the mountain. From that vantage point he recognized

Nehalem Beehive launches ‘Winter Market’ Sunday afternoon market gets underway By Joe Wrabek For the Citizen
With the Manzanita Farmers Market shut down for the season, where does one go in north Tillamook County to get locally grown meat and produce? The answer may be at the Nehalem Beehive in downtown Nehalem. The Beehive, a new store front in downtown Nehalem, will be hosting an The recently opened Nehalem Beehive is home to a winter farmers market, which kicked off Sept. 29, and will continue every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. for the foreseeable future. Photo by Dave Fisher
indoor “Winter Farmers Market,” which kicked off Sept. 29. Four to five local area farmers will be present every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. You can expect to see King Fisher Farms, Lance’s Farm Vittles, OK Ranch, Tallwomen Tonics, Neahkahnie Farms, The Roost’s fresh baked bread, English muffins and pastries and a few more local producers. “We’ll have one musician and four to five vendors,” said owner Brenna Hamer. Local meat vendors will rotate, with a different one each week, as will produce sellers, she said. The “winter market” ties in with Hamer’s effort to make the
Beehive a “community space.” The vendors will be scattered throughout the store. “It’ll be kind of like it’s in your living room,” she noted. All are welcome to linger, play games, chat or meditate. It’s an opportunity for locals to experience this winter in style as the Nehalem Valley bounty continues well into the shorter days of winter. The Beehive will also have many useful items for sale, including tea, coffee, culinary salts, medicinal sipping chocolates, Epsom salts, dipping oils, balsamic vinegars, as well as arts and crafts. For more information, call Hamer at (503) 368-BEES (2337).
Nehalem’s Rainbow Lotus focusing on healing, spa work By Joe Wrabek For the Citizen
Rainbow Lotus Spa and Wellness Center is still in downtown Nehalem, but it’s not in a storefront any more. It’s upstairs, over what used to be the Art Happens gallery and the dog grooming shop next door, and is now the Nehalem Beehive. Nor does it look like an East Indian art gallery. “Most of that stuff is at home,” owner Sedona Marie Torres said. “It was always difficult to do services and retail. It’s all about services now; it’s where I wanted the business to be.” Rainbow Lotus offers a variety of facial, skin care
and body treatments, along with a range of Eastern medicine techniques: reiki (a Japanese technique for reducing stress), oshadi (an herbal wrap treatment), shirodahara (warm oil treatments), and gandharva sound healing, to name a few. The center also offers a variety of counseling and coaching services. “We’re merging holistic stuff with typical day spa stuff,” Torres said. “It’s by appointment for the most part.” Torres is Rainbow Lotus center’s master esthetician, reiki master, intuitive, sound and energy healer, ayurvedic practitioner and spiritual life coach. Partner
Michael Dinan is a sound and energy healer and astrologer. Torres said she began learning the Eastern medical techniques when she lived in San Diego. “Over the past two years, I’ve finished certification in ayurvedic medicine from an institute in New York,” she said. “Ayurvedic yoga is a restorative yoga; it heals the body on a quantum level. A lot of clients are going through physical therapy.” The Rainbow Lotus Center was initially in Manzanita (in 2010), then moved to downtown Nehalem; and moved upstairs in March 2013. “It’s more
tucked away. People like that,” Torres said. The new, larger space provides a big side room available for meditation, and a new electrically heated sauna. Being upstairs from the Beehive “is kind of like a tree house,” according to Torres. “It’s a ‘Wellnest.’” What Rainbow Lotus does isn’t “alternative” medicine, Torres noted. “It’s actually not exclusive. We teach you to have an understanding how your body works. It doesn’t exclude Western medicine – but Eastern medicine has its values. Both can enhance your state of wellness.”

Tillamook County schools LNCT’s annual Harvest get funds for teacher training Festival a day of family fun By Sayde Moser For the Citizen
Tillamook County’s schools have received a joint grant worth $175,000 from the Oregon Department of Education for teacher mentor programs. Tillamook School District grant writer Bruce Rhodes crafted the request for the Oregon Mentoring Grant in conjunction with the Astoria, Jewel, NeahKah-Nie and Nestucca Valley school districts. The grant offers first- and second-year teachers additional training by partnering with qualified teachers in each district. Last year, Tillamook partnered with the Seaside and Astoria school districts to receive the grant. A decision was made this year to include the two other Tillamook County districts. “We saw how hugely beneficial it was for us,” said Tillamook Superinten-
dant Randy Schild. “And this was really the first year that Nestucca Valley and Neah-Kah-Nie both had a number of new staff members that would benefit from this extra training, so they were eager to come on board.” Each school district was awarded some $4,000 per teacher-mentor duo. The money helps fund the newer teacher’s training and provides compensation for the veteran teacher’s time. This is the fourth year Tillamook has offered such a mentoring program for its first- and second-year teachers. This year, the district has 16 teachers in the program. Said Schild, “We have a really good set of new teachers that have very diverse backgrounds this year, great educations and a good knowledge of their subjects. But when you actually get your feet on the ground and start doing it, you realize
there’s a whole lot of issues and things you never would have expected. “Our younger teachers [in the program] feel so much more equipped,” he said. “And it also helps improve the performance of our veteran teachers.” Neah-Kah-Neah Superintendant Paul Erlebach said his district has five teachers benefiting from the grant. “Without it, we wouldn’t be able to offer this extra training,” said Erlebach. The same goes for Nestucca Valley School District, said Superintendant Kathryn Hedrick. Three teachers and one counselor will receive the additional training. Erlebach said teacher mentor programs are essential – if, that is, school districts can afford them. “Research shows that new teachers are more likely to leave if they aren’t given that extra support,” he said. “So mentor programs are a high priority.”
Obituaries Nancy Gordy Rinehart Oct. 12, 1926 - Aug. 06, 2013 Nancy Gordy Rinehart passed away peacefully with family by her side. She was born in Salisbury, Md., to Ralph Raymond and Martha Pusey Gordy. Upon graduation from nursing school in Baltimore under the Cadet Nurse Corps program, she accepted a position at the Rinehart Clinic in Wheeler. In 1957, she married Dr. Robert E. (Bob) Rinehart and they moved to Portland to establish a medical clinic for the treatment of rheumatism where Nancy was the business manager. Wheeler remained special to Nancy and she returned there to live full time in 1995. She was active in the community, serving on the Planning and the Parks committees. Nancy was named
Wheeler Citizen of the Year in 2004. Nancy was a life-long volunteer who did not hesitate to get involved in organizations which interested her, most notably: Catlin Gabel School, Oregon College of Arts and Crafts, OHSU (Marquam Hill Steering Committee) and Reed College Women’s Committee. Nancy relished the company of friends, at her husband’s clinic, her various civic involvements, her book club, the Portland Garden Club, those in Wheeler and elsewhere. Her friends were a source of wonderful support to her after she suffered
a devastating car accident in 2005, especially the late Marian Showers. Nancy was well loved and will be remembered for her enthusiasm for life, magnetic smile and delight in her grandchildren. Nancy is survived by her children, Pamela Rinehart Sears, Suzanne Rinehart Bishop, Brenda Jay Rinehart, Nancy Rinehart Rodriguez; her beloved sister, Emily Gordy Cottingham; five step-children; and nine grandchildren. Husband, Bob; and son, Harvey Earl Rinehart II, preceded Nancy in death. A celebration of Nancy’s life was held Sept. 27, in Portland. Donations in memory of Nancy may be made to the Rinehart Clinic (www.rinehartclinic.org), a non-profit federally qualified health center serving north Tillamook County, 230 Rowe Street, Wheeler, OR 97147.
Think pumpkins, apple cider, live music in the barn and celebrating with the community when the bounty of the harvest comes alive at the 11th annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s Alder Creek Farm in Nehalem. Bring the whole family to the farm and have some fun. From noon until 4 p.m., this 54-acre preserved natural area, along with its barns, gardens and creekside trails, welcomes the community to this setting for an afternoon of harvest festival activities. This year’s festival features live music by the Sedona Fire Band just right for dancing and singing along. Along with the music is a bountiful farmer’s market, cider pressing, information booths, children’s activities and conservation tours of the 54-acre property. The gardens of Alder Creek Farm will be open for strolling and inspiration. Caretakers of the community garden and the permaculture garden will be on hand to answer questions and inspire green thumb aspirations. If you have not visited these gardens, plan to spend extra time this year seeing the delicious beauty of what can be grown in the Lower Nehalem/Neahkahnie Mountain region. Local Rotarians will be barbecuing hamburgers and hotdogs and beer and wine will be offered. All proceeds benefit the year-round education programs of the Lower Nehalem Community Trust. To reach Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area, turn south off of Hwy 101 at Underhill Lane between Manzanita and Nehalem. Follow the Lane to the end of the road. Parking is limited so carpooling, walking or bicycling in is encouraged. The 11th Annual Harvest Festival is made possible with the support of Unfurl Manzanita, Ecologic Tree,

CARTM isn’t just the dump, it’s a place where you can see your neighbors while shopping for a new chair. It’s a place where you can learn how to turn your old bathtub into a planter or a couch, and it’s a place where you can take your old lamps and exchange them for something new-toyou. Most importantly, it’s a place that provides a necessary service and employs dozens of people all of whom you likely see out-and-about in the community. So, buy tickets to the show and stay for the amazing food, drink, and music. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and are available at CARTM or at the Beehive, the T-Spot, Manzanita News and Espresso,

After all, if you know anything about CARTM, you’re aware of the challenges of recycling, especially in the pouring rain. Things to keep in mind, this is a zero waste event so bring a reusable cup! Also, wear your dancing shoes as the party starts immediately after the runway show. I’m volunteering to help set up the Upcycle Party and am planning on providing pizza and music for anyone who wants to help with decorating. I’m hoping the pre-party decorating on the 11th, at 4:30 p.m., at NCRD, will be as fun as the event itself. Please feel free to help out in anyway you can by emailing me at caradmico@gmail. com.
Letters to the Editor Renewing levy is all about community
Readers of my column in the North Coast Citizen probably notice that I’m all about community. Renewing the local option tax for NCRD at the same level is all about community. It doesn’t matter what avenue we each take in the use of this community resource. I’ve used most of them. What it comes down to is support for our community and the treasure that NCRD represents. Please vote to renew this tax, not just for yourself, but also for our small villages in which we all grow. Gail Balden Nehalem
Continue the levy
I am writing to encourage you to consider continuing the levy for the North Coast Recreation District. You have done a great job for the last four years and enabled the district to provide excellent programs for your fellow friends and neighbors helping to keep them healthy and living longer lives. What a great asset you have in the recreation district! Bill and I have seen the dream come true we had twenty years ago of providing a place for all of our community to come, work out at the program of their choice and many, like me, have managed to keep ourselves out of wheel chairs, manage our homes and enjoy our beautiful bit of “heaven on earth.” Although Bill is gone now and I have moved elsewhere, I encourage you to keep this levy going. It won’t cost you any more, but it will keep your community healthy and thriving. Geri Berg
NCRD a valuable community asset
My wife and I moved to north Tillamook County three years ago after serving in the Peace Corps. Besides the friendly people and natural beauty of this area, we were taken by the surprising array of amenities available in such a small community, especially the North County Recreation District. There has been a lot of commotion lately regarding the vote to renew the local option tax, but rather than rehash many issues that are already being discussed, I thought I’d share my perspective as an architect. Local option tax money goes to pay NCRD’s operational costs. This includes things like salaries for employees, electricity, and so forth. But it also enables timber revenue to provide major maintenance for the buildings. We have a saying in construction – if you lose the roof, you’ll soon lose the building. It means that you must maintain structures, or else they will start to deteriorate. It’s the classic “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” As a community, we have a lot of value wrapped up in the facilities at NCRD.
That’s YOUR money sitting on that hill in Nehalem, and by passing the local option tax we are enabling ongoing maintenance to ensure it’s properly cared for – things like fixing burst plumbing, upgrading door hardware to allow better handicap access, removing dry rot around leaky windows, and replacing deteriorated siding before the weather gets through. If we don’t pass this tax, those things will start slipping. And given enough time, the buildings will as well. Also know that this tax is not to be used for major projects and expansion, such the auditorium renovation or the much-discussed pool project. Those projects must be funded separately, from a combination of timber revenues, grants, and fundraising. I would like to remind readers that the amount of tax we are talking about is forty cents per thousand dollars of property value. Not only does this place the majority of the burden on those most able to pay, but even if you own a quarter-million dollar house, that’s only $100 per year to keep NCRD operational. It’s quite a bargain, compared to the cost of supporting a pool, gym, community theatre, conference center, art gallery, or community center in any other place I’ve ever lived, and NCRD is all of these things at once! I hope you’ll vote yes, and join me in protecting this valuable community asset. James M. Fanjoy Manzanita
A big thanks from Pine Grove
The installation of a commercial dishwasher/sanitizer in the Pine Grove Community House kitchen has upgraded the kitchen and expanded the rental use of this community facility. Thanks to these businesses for their services and products for their part in the project: Van Dyke Plumbing, Boreland Electric, George Morlan Plumbing, and Coastal Repair. The project to upgrade the kitchen, by the Women’s Club of Manzanita/North Tillamook County has also provided dinnerware for 100, a microwave and coffee pots. These items have added to the kitchen service for use by renters and local service clubs. More projects are planned to ensure that Pine Grove has a superior kitchen facility for use by renters for large group parties and fundraisers. A big thank you goes to the volunteer efforts of members of the Women’s Club and the Pine Grove Board. Pine Grove is at the heart of our community and such dedication of volunteers ensures that it remains a service to the social and economic part of our community. Dianne Getty Manzanita
Interested in joining the fair board?
The Tillamook County Commissioners recently voted to add two members to the
Tillamook County Fair Board. It would go from five to seven members. In addition, the Board of Commissioners is very interested in seeking nominations from north Tillamook County. We currently have no members on the Fair Board from north Tillamook County. If you have a love for the Tillamook County Fair and are interested in serving on the fair board, please call the commissioner’s office for more details on how to apply. The phone number is (503) 842-3403. If you have specific questions about the roles and responsibilities of being a fair board member you can call me directly too. Same phone number. The Tillamook County Fair Board is a hard working board and it, along with the myriad of volunteers, make our fair one of the best in the state, if not the nation. Please consider this volunteer opportunity to continue our great fair tradition. Mark Labhart, Chair Board of Commissioners
Help ensure NCRD programs continue
I am writing to urge voters in the North County Recreation District to renew NCRD’s Local Option Tax in November. The amount of the tax will stay the same as it has been for the past five years. I support this renewal because I believe NCRD is a vital part of our community for many reasons. It gives all of us opportunities to explore our individual interests in areas like art, culture and health (swimming, yoga, fitness). It provides programs for all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens. It offers people living with pain several different ways to help cope using the pool and through arthritis classes and yoga. It makes its spaces available to the community for large meetings, fundraising events, art openings, basketball, dance, and more. Not only do we get to do something that increases our health or pleasure in life ,we have the opportunity to connect with other people in our community. I believe the ability to connect with others, whether new friends or old, is one of the most important aspects (if not the MOST important) of a healthy and happy society. It is definitely one of the main reasons I live here. NCRD gives us a place to do that, all throughout the year, in many different ways, with many different people. I would guess that most of us who live here have been to NCRD for something. Since I am already paying for it, I won’t really feel a financial burden if the local option tax passes. I would feel the negative impact of NCRD having to reduce services if it does not pass. Please, help ensure that NCRD can continue its programs at the current level by voting yes on the local option tax renewal in November. Barbara McLaughlin Nehalem
Vote YES for NCRD
The North County Recreation District (NCRD) has been an essential part of north Tillamook County for years, but it is also important in the lives of many individual citizens in this area. With amazing courses, such as aqua aerobics, zumba, yoga, drawing, pilates and many others, the NCRD provides numerous choices for all tastes. The meeting rooms are available to many community groups, a valuable service to all. The adult activities have provided trips, speeches, and discussion groups. Worthwhile benefits have been provided to the youth in our area through the youth center and New Discoveries, not to mention the opportunities to learn how to swim. We have been active in the Riverbend Players for years and through these theatrical productions we have met some of our best friends, as well as provided enjoyable entertainment to the community. The NCRD is growing, with the number of patrons increasing 29 percent in the past four years and number of visits increasing by 12 percent in the same period! We must continue to provide continued support for this extremely valuable service to everyone in our community. Vote YES in November. Betsy and Brian McMahon Manzanita
NCRD contributes to quality of life in area
We are writing in support of the upcoming vote to renew the five-year local option levy that supports the operations and programs of the North County Recreation District. The renewal will be at the same rate as the current levy and will not increase property taxes. The special district permanent tax base has not been increased since 1996. It cannot be increased and is insufficient to maintain the aging facilities, which were built in the 1920s and 30s. NCRD provides high quality, affordable programs for children, adults and seniors. These range from play care, summer camps, youth sports to a variety of fitness programs, hiking, games, road trips, intellectual programs and educational work shops. It makes meeting space available to community groups and nonprofits. The leadership team and staff are good stewards of the public and private dollars that support NCRD. This excellent resource contributes to the quality of life in this area and supports the decision we made to move to Manzanita. We urge your readers to vote yes on the renewal of the local option levy. Allan and Madeline Olson Manzanita

The artists in the show are Carol Ferris, Claudia Johnson, Susan Walsh, Jean Erhardt, Linda Cook, Mike Cook, William Walsh, Andrea Mace, Liza Jones, Paul Miller and Shirley Kishiyama. Next up is the 27th Annual Miniatures Show featuring folk artist, Zemula Fleming.

local ecology from ecological restoration to sustainable agriculture. This information will be used as the basis for even greater appreciation for these fascinating organisms as she demystifies the identification of edible mushrooms in the Nehalem watershed. Beginners, curiosity seekers or the fungi-literate are encouraged to attend this informative outing. The Sunday morning walk will take place at Oswald West State Park. Participants will be encouraged to use all their senses to develop skills for recognizing mushroom habitat and ecology and identify both edible and inedible mushrooms. Plan to meet at the south parking lot, dress for the weather and bring drinking water. Gianopulous has been fascinated with the ecology of the Pacific coast forests having grown up in a family of mushroom hunters. Her curiosity, as a child, about the mysterious work of fungi, led her to earn a bachelor of science degree in biology at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. Enrollment for the “Mushroom Talk, Walk, Hunt & Taste” workshop is limited to 25. Tuition is $10 for general public, $5 for LNCT members. Annual individual membership in the Lower Nehalem Community Trust starts at just $15 per year, or $30 for a family membership, and includes benefits such as reduced or free admission to events, workshops and program activities and more.

Writers’ Series hosts author Whitney Otto Whitney Otto will read from her book Eight Girls Taking Pictures at the Hoffman Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19. Otto’s new novel explores the ambitions, passions, conflicts and desires of eight female photographers throughout the twentieth century. This spectacular cast of spirited, larger-than-life women offers wide-ranging insight about the times in which they lived. From San Francisco to New York, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Rome, Otto spins a magical, romantic tale that creates a compelling portrait of the history of feminism and of photography. Through the fascinating lives of these eight unconventional women, the reader not only travels the arc of 20th century history, technology, and art but is brought face-to-face with the particular struggles creative women faced in the past century. As author Sena Jeter Naslund put it, “What makes Eight Girls Taking Pictures so remarkable is its simultaneous sharp focus and wide-angle lens.” Whitney Otto is the author of five novels: How To Make an American Quilt, which was a New York Times Best Seller (as well as other bestseller lists) and NY Times Notable Book; nominated for the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award, and adapted into a feature film produced by Steven Spielberg.

though some came close,” stated McCraw in his Monday morning update, “except for the Wilson River that crested at 12.19’, flood stage is 12’.” By Monday morning, though showers persisted as did thunder and lightening, area rivers continued to fall quickly. Aside from scattered power outages, a few trees blown down on roads, some minor street flooding, and a couple rockslides, McCraw was relieved that it wasn’t worse.

Within minutes of the event, Mr. Edmund Lane and his teenage son Ben set out with a band of hardy locals to render aid. The men helped secure the line the crew had shot to shore. All of them were anxious to stand on solid ground before the surf pounded the ship apart on the rocks. Shortly the 18 seamen and three officers were safely ashore. Captain Owen Williams, 26 years at sea without an accident, was last to leave. As for the cause, no one is sure. According to one seaman, the captain was not even at the helm until it was too late. When the mates summoned the captain and he finally arrived, the young sailor claimed “he was bloody drunk.” An old salt nearby, however, claimed the mates were too young to handle the ship. He blamed
the owners for unwillingness to pay for experienced officers and sufficient crew. The drinking story was put to rest by crew members at Bob’s tavern in Nehalem. The ship was provisioned for three months, and poorly, at that, claimed the old salts. Nobody, they said, including the captain, had a drop of liquor during their last month at sea. The day after the accident, Captain Farley of the lifesaving crew in Garibaldi arrived at the scene. Readers will recall the heroic efforts of Captain Farley and his crew last April regarding the wreck of the Mimi on Nehalem spit. Farley pointed out there was nothing Capt Williams could do to avert disaster once the ship emerged from the haze within sight of land. Confusing winds south of Cape Falcon made it impossible to put the vessel back out to sea. After their harrowing experience, the crew enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Reed at the Neahkahnie Tavern, which had been closed since the end of the

still a common sight in 1913, though the age of squareriggers was giving way to steam-powered vessels. One can imagine it was a lazy fall afternoon at the Neahkahnie Tavern, a 30room hotel built in 1912 and home to Samuel Reed, his wife Beulah and their three daughters. Positioned just west of the present day intersection of Nehalem Road, Ocean Road and Beulah Reed Road, the establishment had a signature view of Neahkahnie Mountain, which is why a glassed-in porch at the tavern’s northwest corner was included in its design so guests could enjoy the view in comfort. Neahkahnie Tavern would have been closed for the season in October. The hotel was only open during the summer, from the Fourth of July through Labor Day. How many people were on hand that Wednesday afternoon when the sailing ship came into full view is unclear, but most likely there weren’t many. Photographs of the period show the tavern and a handful of cottages on the plains at the base of the mountain. Nearby Manzanita and Laneda Ave., which was a muddy stretch most of the time, wasn’t bustling either. This was, after all, 1913. Still, when the fully rigged vessel inexplicably pointed its bow toward the jagged rock base of Neahkahnie and made a beeline to the mountain, anyone gazing at the sight had to be doing so in astonishment. Whatever action was taken on board the ship to avoid catastrophe was a matter of too little, too late. It was about 2:30 p.m. when the British ship Glenesslin crashed on the rocks of Neahkahnie. She was commanded by Captain Owen Williams, an experienced shipmaster who had sailed the seas for 20 years without accident until that fateful day in 1913. A hole was ripped on her underside and the ship came to rest listing a few degrees on its starboard side. With Neahkahnie as a backdrop, the Glenesslin and its set sails would make for great photographs, and the view from the Neahkahnie Tavern looking north would be a topic of conversation for weeks to come. “It was a huge attraction for locals and tourists, but it took a while for word to get around,” says local historian Mark Beach. Local dwellers arrived at the scene to render aid, including Sam Reed. A line from the ship to the rocky shore was established and all 21 crewmembers made it to shore safely. Ocean waves continued to pound the ship’s stern and the wind filled her sails. The Glenesslin’s officers, including Captain Owen Williams, were reportedly tight-lipped about the incident. Some of the locals are said to have smelled liquor on many of the crew. The captain, who was last to leave the ship, and other officers were reported to be drunk. While Williams and his 22-year-old second mate were found to be “negligent” in their duty in the subsequent investigation, whether or not they were intoxicated at the time remains a speculative matter. The first mate, also 22, was also reprimanded for failure to respond quickly enough to the impending danger Neahkahnie posed. It was speculated at the time of the wreck that the captain deliberately sailed the ship into the base of Neahkahnie for the insurance settlement. As more modern steamships werea replacing sailing ships, there were instances where this actually happened. In the Glenesslin’s case, however, this was never proven.

Where was the captain? It was a beautiful fall day Oct. 1, 1913 on the north Oregon coast, but not a perfect day in an account of the Glenesslin’s last hours written by English writer and poet C. Fox Smith (1982-1954) in her book, “Ocean Racers.” (The “C” stands for Cicely. She published under the name “C. Fox Smith” because she believed readers would be less interested in her books if they knew the author was a woman.) According to Smith’s account, the Glenesslin captain was concerned about fog and looking ahead to the crossing at the Columbia River bar. The captain remained on deck until 12:45 when he went into the chart-room to lie down, telling the second mate to call him at two. The flood tide was making at the time, and the ship going along at about five knots. At two o’clock he intended to go about to the westward until midnight, coming in on the next tack to fetch the Columbia lightship, and enter the river on the next flood tide. The weather was hazy at the time, and visibility poor, and Captain Williams did not want to lose sight of the land in case the fog should become thicker. Shortly after 2 p.m., the captain, who is still in the chart room, is advised by the second mate of the ship’s precarious position. “She’s getting very close in.” The urgency in his voice brought the skipper, who was lying down all standing, on deck with a jump, and he at once saw that the position was desperate. Right ahead loomed the rugged slopes of the Neah-kah-Nie Mountain…”
Conditions off shore Maritime author James Gibbs recounts the wreck of the Glenneslin in his book “Shipwrecks of the Pacific Coast.” Gibbs wrote several books over his career and interestingly spent a year, beginning in 1945, as the keeper of the lighthouse on Tillamook Rock near Cannon Beach. Gibbs offers this explanation why there was no apparent effort observed from shore to steer the ship from harm’s way: Navigators who knew the Oregon
Not long after the sailing ship Glenesslin ran aground at the base of Neahkahnie Mountain, crew members posed for a photograph. The man at the far right is thought to be a local resident. Photographs from the archive of Mark Beach removed by locals before salvagers arrived: Several of her masts, complete with hardware, became roof supports at the Thompson house in Neahkahnie, and for years one of her anchors stood nest to the Kardell’s store and post office. Other artifacts…are housed now at the maritime museum in Astoria.
“The last half dozen years…” The Neahkahnie Tavern, as it appeared at the time, hosted visitors to the area and was a popular gathering spot. Cottages dotted the landscape in 1913 as well. Coast at the point where the Glenesslin came to grief explained that a windless pocket existed inside Cape Falcon. Once a sailing vessel was in this bight, it became a virtual impossibility to bring it about. Here’s what Smith says in her book: He (the captain) immediately ordered the helm to be put up, and all hands to be called. The ship made a gallant effort to answer, but there was a strong current running towards the shore and she did not pay off as quickly as usual. If she had had ten minutes longer she would have cleared the danger.
Local photographer captures the moment Hard to imagine anyone who lives in or even visits the area not coming across photographs of the Glenesslin wreck. Perhaps the most famous one shows three crew members and what is thought to be a “local” posing on the rocks in front of the Glenneslin a short time afterwards. Other crewmembers can be seen on the rocks in the distant. Even the three-masted ship, despite a gash in her hull, appears to be putting her best face forward. It’s not clear who took that particular photograph, but a likely candidate would be Ward Mayer, who reportedly had a studio in Wheeler. Mayer took many photographs of the Glenesslin, along with other shipwrecks, and his name often appears on them. Whoever took that particular photo didn’t waste
time arriving at the scene. The wreck occurred at about 2:30 p.m. and it seems reasonable to assume, with the crew still huddled on shore, the picture was taken that very afternoon.
Salvage “problematical” Gibbs references a Nehalem party that paid $100 for Glenesslin salvage rights from a couple of Astoria gentlemen who a few days earlier had paid $560 for the wreck. The sale was advised by Lloyd’s Insurance surveyor from Portland, Gibbs reports. Extensive damage to the hull erased any hope of refloating the ship. The difficulty of getting anything of value to shore made it extremely problematical that the wreck was even worth the latter price, Gibbs writes. The “Nehalem party,” it turns out, was Harry Bell, grandfather of present-day Wheeler resident Dave Bell. Harry, who was in his 30s at the time, owned a small engine shop in Nehalem on the waterfront. He also operated log-moving tugboats on the river. Dave says his grandfather managed to salvage the lifeboats from the wreck, and that they were turned into fishing boats, but that was about all that was gained. “There was a time element involved,” said Dave in an interview a few years back. “When it (the Glenesslin) broke up, it went in a hurry.” In her book, “At the Foot of the Mountain,” published in 2004, Jane Comerford says many of the smaller items, including silverware and life buoys, had been
Alfred Basil Lubbock (1876-1944) was a British sailorman, yachtsman and maritime author, who wrote extensively on maritime matters, in particular the latter days of sailing vessels. In transitioning from wind-aided sailing ships to steam-powered vessels, Lubbock explains to readers the conditions on board the square-riggers during their final days: In the last half dozen years before World War I it was heart-breaking work

Finally, this final passage from Gibb’s account: …In the memory of many salts, the ship lived on. In 1901 she had won a trans-ocean sweepstakes race over a field of eight square-riggers by some 17 days. In 1902, the Glenesslin covered 1000 miles in four days running. She also held a record never equaled by any other sailing vessel--Portland, Oregon, to Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 74 days. This exceedingly handsome ship, built in 1885, once the pride of the DeWolf fleet, had left her mark but was stricken from the records by human failings.

The story of the Glenesslin pretty much reads the same no matter who writes it. Of course, the single fact that keeps the story alive is that it ran aground at the base of Neahkahnie Mountain on Oct. 1, 1913. Had it not been for that, the sailing vessel, despite the speed records it set in its heyday, would have faded from memory and not have commanded the attention it did. The fact that it is a ship that became a shipwreck is what fascinates us, and the compelling reason to revisit the story time and again. As with any investigative story, there’s always a few asides that are not always factual and, nearly 100 years later, sometimes impossible to substantiate, but interesting nonetheless. Here are just a few:
for the masters of British sailing ships and many of them left their old love, the square-rigger, for steam, simply because they could not get competent officers or men. Those who hung on usually had to put up with an old “has been” as a mate, who either drank or was such a poor sailorman that he had either lost his ship in disgraceful circumstances or had never been trusted with one. And for second mate, the windjammer “old man” had to be satisfied with a boy just out of his time. More than threequarters of the crew, also, were likely to be useless steamboat men or crooks and invalids, who were of no use aloft. In such conditions sail could not be carried safely, for the skipper was certain to be let down by his watch officers or his crew at the first emergency. The former could only handle the ship in the clumsiest fashion and the latter could not take in sail in any wind. There were, of course, any number of good officers and men afloat, but they preferred the easier conditions and greater opportunities of steam. Thus in her old age we find the Glenesslin sailing without her royal yards and with two boys as mates.

Community News Briefs
The City of Manzanita Planning Commission has been informally discussing a number of possible amendments to the city’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Before making specific proposals, the planning commission is inviting the public to make comments on these possible amendments at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 7, at Manzanita City Hall. This public forum will be an opportunity to hear what has been discussed and provide your input. The commission will review the results of the forum at its Oct. 21 meeting. A copy of the commission’s discussion draft is available for review at Manzanita City Hall or on the city’s website, www. ci.manzanita.or.us. There are 15 areas of possible changes. Some of the possible changes are in setback requirements, commercial design review standards, and technical wording corrections. The commission welcomes written comments so that ideas can be studied further after the meeting. However, oral comments are also welcome. Please come and share your thoughts and ideas.

n Shoplifting From page 1 and down Laneda Ave. are all too well aware of that. A couple of weeks ago, Aina Tonjes, owner of T-Spot Yarns, Gifts & Chocolates in Manzanita, was helping a customer when another customer commanded her attention at the checkout counter. As Tonjes began ringing up the items, the customer at the counter saw a middle-aged woman walk out the store with a bag of merchandise and asked Tonjes, “Did that customer pay for those things?” It turned out the customer she had been assisting just minutes earlier had not paid for the items, prompting Tonjes to pursue the thief. She caught up with the woman who at this point had rode her bicycle to Mother Nature’s Natural Food Store a couple of blocks up the street. Tonjes confronted her and demanded her merchandise back, but to no avail. The woman managed to mount her bike and pedal away. “She went for high quality hand-knit toys that were easy to stuff in a designer shopping back that she stole too,” said Tonjes. Among other items taken were children’s coats, t-shirts, and pajamas. In all, over $500 in merchandise, Tonjes calculated. Back at her shop, she reported the episode to the police and contacted her husband, Hans, who gave chase by automobile based on the description of the woman he received from his wife. It was a stroke of good fortune that he caught up with the woman, based on Aina’s description, as she made her way to Nehalem Bay State park on a bike path. Pulling up alongside her, Hans, asked for the merchandise back. At first, he was ignored, but persistency paid off and the woman finally gave him back most everything she had taken. Law enforcement officials don’t recommend confronting a customer a shop owner may suspect of shoplifting. First of all, you don’t know if that individual is armed, nor can you gauge their state of mind. The recommended course of action is to report the crime, giving police a detailed description of the suspect and a list of items taken, but for a shopkeeper who feels violated that’s easier said than done sometimes. It was just the second time in five years of owning TSpot that Tonjes says she has caught someone shoplifting, though she suspects smaller items are probably routinely taken. “I just write it off; it’s just part of being in business,” said Tonjes, who also posted a note on Facebook in a timely manner alerting other merchants of her

misfortune. In business for nearly a decade, Suzy Freeman, owner of Unfurl Clothing, says shoplifting has been an issue for years. “We do staff training with all incoming employees on how to spot shoplifting behavior and protocol for catching a thief. We quickly get the police involved when we have an item go missing and share specifics of the item and any identifying details we remember about the person we believe committed the crime,” Freeman told the Citizen. In addition, Unfurl recently installed several security cameras to monitor for theft, go back in time and put a face with the crime in order to help police. “The first year we opened, we had a pair of expensive sandals stolen. The only lady who had tried them on that day was very friendly and pulled away in an expensive SUV. We quickly realized they were gone after she left, but had a hard time believing it was her,” said Freeman. As luck would have it, the following day Freeman and her husband, Judson Moore, encountered the woman wearing the stolen sandals while they were in Cannon Beach on their day off. Moore approached her about the sandals and the woman went into hysterics claiming she was being harassed. With a camera in hand, Moore began taking pictures of the woman’s feet and the sandals, and followed her to her parked SUV where he took a photo of the license plate. “We turned the photos over to the Manzanita police and they forwarded them directly to the Tillamook County district attorney and we eventually received a settlement for the stolen merchandise,” said Freeman. “It was a pretty satisfying conclusion. We found out later the woman had a shoplifting record.” At Salt and Paper, store owner Stephanie Simpson has developed a sixth sense about shoplifters and if she suspects them of heading towards a neighboring business, she makes a quick phone call alerting the that shop owner. “For some reason, it (shoplifting) seems to be more of an issue this summer. I haven’t been able to figure it out. I think it has to do with more than just the economy…there’s a multitude of issues that contribute to it,” Simpson said. “None of us can afford to have that happen to us. As business owners, we need to be committed in that we’re going to hold people accountable.” At the grocery store down the street, Manzanita Grocery & Deli, owners Chung and Judy Lee have experienced shoplifting too, but, says Judy, “It hasn’t been a big issue.” More often than not, it is something small, like a candy

TCCC soliciting requests for projects The Tillamook County Cultural Coalition (TCCC) is soliciting requests from Tillamook County citizens and organizations interested in developing projects that celebrate the arts, humanities, and heritage of our county. To be considered, projects must address one or more of the following: education, community art, heritage, the environment and/or traditions. Detailed information about TCCC and the grant application are available on the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum web site: http://www.tcpm.org/tccc.htm. Applications will be reviewed and decisions made by late November. Note that grant applications are due Oct. 25. This is a change from last year.
Tillicum Foundation files for renewal Tillicum Foundation, licensee of FM Translator Station K205EU, operating on Channel 205 (88.9 MHz) with 0.023 kw vertical effective radiated power, and serving Wheeler, etc., OR, from a transmitter site located at 45o 41’ 10” North Latitude, 123 o 52’ 59” West Longitude, gives notice that on or about Oct. 1, it filed an application (FCC Form 303-S) for renewal of license with the Federal Communications Commission. K205EU rebroadcasts the signal of KTCB, operating on a Channel 208 (89.5 MHz), licensed to Tillamook.

bar that is opened in the store and consumed. The telltale sign is the leftover packaging that shows up in the aisles. In-store cameras have helped and employees are instructed to keep an eye on suspicious people, such as under-aged kids hanging round the beer cooler or wine section. The layout of a store has a lot to do with deterring would-be shoplifters, according to Lissette Erickson, owner of Manzanita Beach Company, and Overboard owner Tobi Nason. Their shops are relatively small, but most important; the register is located close to the door so both shopkeepers can keep a close eye on who comes in and out. “I can see every corner of my store and over the shelves in the middle. I have a clear line of vision,” said Nason. “The only inadvertent shoplifting I may get is when a child picks up something small and walks out with it. Typically, the parent returns it as soon as they notice it.” Erickson, who has been in a business a year, says she found out the same evening of the T-Spot incident on Facebook. “It really helps to warn other shop owners,” she said. Despite the occasional shoplifting incident, retailers the Citizen spoke to are happy to be in business. Aina Tonjes sums it up this way, “Overall, most customers are really nice. I love being in retail.” Still, there are steps one can take to help ensure they don’t become a victim of shoplifting, like keeping an eye on customers and letting them know that you’re aware of them and their whereabouts and keeping more expensive merchandise off shelves and in display cases. And, perhaps, most importantly, alert fellow business owners, either through social networking or a simple call, when something happens or someone looks suspicious.
Fair board seeks two additional members The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners has completed its review of the Tillamook County Fair Board operations and has determined that there is a need to add two members to the board, increasing it from five to seven members. “The workload for the current fair board is high, especially during fair time and adding two members will help spread the workload out,” said Tillamook County Commission Chair Mark Labhart. In addition, based on recent interviews with the fair board members, there is a desire by commissioners to reorganize the current board. All current fair board members will be asked to reapply for their current positions with the goal of having a seven-member board in place this fall. Commissioners are looking for broad geographic representation from throughout Tillamook County, as well as, a diverse group of citizens who are interested in seeing the Tillamook County Fair continue to be one of the best County Fairs in the nation. If you are interested in applying for a Tillamook County Fair Board position, please contact Sue Becraft in the Commissioner’s Office and she will get you an application.

In a mediumish bowl, mix all the meatball ingredients except the bacon fat, and squish it all together with your hands. (If you have a better way, let me know.) Tuck it in the fridge overnight for the flavors to marry. The next day, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then squish the bacon fat into the meatballs.

While those nuggets are baking, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat up your bacon drippings on medium heat and then sauté the onions until they are fragrant and translucent, about five minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well blended and simmer at just barely bubbling for 20 minutes, stirring often. The sauce will thicken and coat the back of spoon. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Then add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and serve with love.

s Wheeler turns 100! Manzanita’ 3rd Street By Dave Fisher
New owners at Livi’s Burgers
“Live in each season as it passes” — Henry David Thoreau
Volume 18, No. 12
Wheeler turned 100 years old on June 4 and to celebrate the community will be holding a picnic at Waterfront Park on Saturday, July 20, in which everyone from the greater Nehalem Bay area is invited to attend. Organizers were busy last week erecting a historical timeline display in the windows of the old Wheeler Pharmacy building, while crews from Tillamook PUD placed a banner across Hwy 101 saluting the occasion of the town’s centennial. It was on June 4, 1913 that Tillamook County gave its stamp of approval on the results of the vote of incorporation. The vote wasn’t even close with 32 citizens casting their votes in favor of incorporation and just two voting against the idea. The results arrived at the Secretary of State’s office a week later and officials there slapped a date of June 11, 1913 as the birthday of Wheeler, but locals adhere to the earlier date, according to Wheelerite Eunice Massie, whose help was enlisted to help with the historical aspect of the display. “Wheeler was a center of industry in its day,” said Wheeler city councilor Karen Matthews of the pictorial display at the pharmacy. “We want to celebrate that early history and the roots of the

If there are two things that are music to a city administrator’s ears following the completion of a municipal project it is that it was completed on time and came in under the original engineer’s estimate. Such was the case with Manzanita’s S. 3rd Street project that was completed this past week. Despite the addition of approximately $12,000 in change orders approved by the city, the final tally of just under $400,000 was over $20,000 under the estimated cost for the installation of a new storm drainage line, along with replacing water lines and resurfacing the street. The street is again open to vehicular traffic as crews from Pacific Excavation did the final cleanup and addressed minor details on the city’s “punch list” earlier this week. Meanwhile, the Manzanita City Council was expected to award the bid for the construction of a new visitors center and restroom facility at the corner of First St. and Laneda Ave. at its June 12 meeting (after the NCC deadline for this issue) to Baumgart Construction based in Rockaway Beach. Once the city gives the construction company the green light to proceed, the project will take 90 days to complete. “It should be wrapped up by the end of September, more or less,” said City Manager Jerry Taylor.

The Middle Mudds, an offshoot of the Junior Mudd Nicks and made up of NeahKah-Nie Middle School 7th and 8th graders completed a busy school year with a visit to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland on May 31. The group was created at the beginning of the school year in response to Junior Mudd Nick students wanting to continue their Mudd Nick experience once they got into middle school. According to Donna Miller, who serves as the Mudd Nick Foundation’s
