Lower Nehalem Community Trust supporters protect Neahkahnie Creek I
Give seeds a chance T
he Third Annual Seed Exchange is a free event that will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at The White Clover Grange, 36585 Highway 53 about two miles from Highway 101 near Mohler. A roundtable discussion on techniques and the importance of seed saving will take place at 1:30 p.m. At the Exchange you can get herb, vegetable, flower and native plant seeds and information from other gardeners, new and old. Handouts will be available for people to take and there will also be some books and resources on hand for browsing. All seeds are free, whether you bring some to share or not. If you have them, bring seeds you have collected or extra commercially packaged seeds you no longer want. Place your collected seeds in small envelopes or zip-sealed baggies and mark your seed packet with as much information as you have: plant, variety, area grown, production qualities, etc. Seeds that are several years old ideally should be tested for viability. If you are not sure if a batch of seeds is still good please take a sampling of them (ten or so) and place between two moist paper towels in a warm place to see if they germinate. If half or more sprout you’re good to go! New gardeners and those without seeds to share are still welcome to take seeds. If possible pay it forward and

n July of 2015, an opportunity was presented to Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) to place into conservation 7.27 acres with over 2,100 linear feet of Neahkahnie Creek, a high priority salmon habitat that runs along Highway 101 between Manzanita and Nehalem. The Neahkahnie Creek Initiative was created to raise the funds needed to transfer and protect this land. We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the generous support of LNCT donors, all necessary funds have been raised and the lands along Neahkahnie Creek will be placed into conservation. This success represents a victory for the land, for the salmon, and for all those Trust supporters who pitched in and made it happen. The stretch of Neahkahnie Creek and 7.27 acres of buffer zone, pictured in the map below, will be protected from development in perpetuity and its quality as a waterway habitat will be ensured. In 2013 LNCT sister organization Lower Nehalem Watershed Council began a restoration project upstream in Neahkahnie Lake. And underway now is Oregon Department of Transportation’s replacement of the culvert under Highway 101 at the conservation site to improve fish passage. Working in concert with these efforts, LNCT’s preservation of the Creek will help secure access to quality spawning and rearing habitat, enhance in-stream habitat, remove invasive species and establish native vegetation. Species that benefit from these coordinated efforts include Coho, winter steelhead, cutthroat trout, western brook lamprey, northern red-legged frogs, and northwest salamanders. Securing fish

ork is underway renovating the interior of North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and thanks to successful fundraising in January, the renovation is fully funded. On January 26, 80 Library Lovers enjoyed a spaghetti dinner at the Big Wave contributed by owners Brian and Carol Williams. Event proceeds totaled $2,700 from tickets, donations and the silent auction of an Allen Olson bowl; $1,700 will be used to pay for new furniture, including reading lounge chairs and tables and chairs for library staff. The remaining $1,000 is budgeted for 2016 general maintenance. “Our community is so supportive of the library,” said Gail Young, board member and event chair, the event was sold out in December. I believe our friends love coming together to celebrate what this library means to our community.” This is the second Library Lovers’ Dinner that Brian and Carol Williams have hosted. “When the Williams first offered their services to the library in 2014, we were reeling from water damage to the building,” said Kay Stepp, board president. “They
saved the day then. This year, when we were struggling with how to find the money to pay for much needed new furniture, Brian called again. They are, indeed, our guardian angels.” Also, in support of needed new furniture restricted gifts of $900 were received in December and the silent auction of library furniture prior to the closing netted Big Wave owners Carol and Brian Williams with Library Lovers Event Chair Gail Young. $1,177. said Stepp. “This generous donawill continue through the month of Good news for the tion makes it possible for us to February.

Tillamook County-wide Early Chilhood Screening Fair March 2-4
illamook County’s Early Childhood T Screening Fair will be held March 2-4 at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. All Til-
lamook County children ages 2 to 6 years of age are encouraged to participate in this comprehensive screening fair, which is provided free of charge. Formerly known as Multi-modular preschool exams, this one-of-a-kind program has been a feature of Tillamook County for 45 years. Since that small beginning in 1971, more than 20,000 Tillamook County kids have been served. At the 2015 screening, 109 children from all around Tillamook County received free screenings in 12 health and developmental areas, with referrals made for follow up with professional providers in 215 identified areas of concern. The value of screening services provided per child is more than $1,000 each. Community partnerships, generous in-kind and financial donations, along with more than 100
volunteers both locally and from Portland-area university programs make it possible to offer these services free of charge to our community’s young children to help ensure they begin school as ready to learn as possible. “These comprehensive screenings in 12 vital areas of children’s health in a single appointment are unique to Tillamook and give a clearer picture of our children’s overall development than any one provider can offer,” stated Gina Seufert, community partnership leader and VP of physician and clinic services at Tillamook Regional Medical Center. “And resources are available to help families with the professional services follow up as needed.” Transportation to and from the Fairgrounds has been identified as a barrier for some families, especially those from North and South Tillamook County. “Our community partners group is committed to making sure any child who needs it has transportation,” stated Kim
Lyon, NW Regional ESD Tillamook administrator. “When families make a screening appointment for their child, please let the scheduling staff know if transportation is needed and we will be happy to make arrangements for pick up as well as the return ride.” Tillamook Regional Medical Center is honored to lead this community-wide project, which can only be accomplished through the support and involvement of so many local and regional partners, including the school districts, the NW Regional ESD, Head Start Centers in Tillamook County, the Tillamook County Health Department, OHSU, OSU Extension Office, Tillamook Family Counseling and more. To schedule an appointment for your child, please call 503-815-2292. To make a donation in support of this community program, please visit AdventistHealth.org/TRMC/giving or call 503-815-2302.

Pie Day a success Twenty-five pies helped to cook up more than $4,000 in donations at the eighth annual Pie Day held Saturday at the White Clover Grange on Highway 53. According to Joel Caris, the development director with Food Roots and the treasurer of the grange, the latest ‘Pie Day’ auction and feast proceeds amounted to more than $4,000. But for the children attending pie day, the best part was after the auction when
they could fill up a plate with pie and ice cream. For those who couldn’t quite win one of the pies being auctioned, there were also about 20 more pies on the tables ready to be feasted on after the end of the auction. “It is about what we were looking for,” he said after the auction concluded and the pie feast began. When she opened the auction, auctioneer Susan Tone told the people sitting in the
grange that it was time to “Honor the Pie.” That they did, with the prices climbing repeatedly over $100 for some of the pies. The winning prices ranged from $45 with many being sold in $75 to $80 range. Marie Scovell’s Venison Mince Meat Pie was one of the ones that sold for more than one hundred dollars, but it was not the only one. One of the beneficiaries of the fundraiser has been the

White Clover Grange building itself. “We put a new roof on it last year thanks in large part to the generosity of this community that has supported us,” Caris told the bidders before the auction began. “We’ve maintained this beautiful historic building. “We redid the porch to be more in line with the historic character of the building,” he added. In addition, the grange also funds other programs.

Landowners Tom Nash and Maureen McMahon generously offered the acreage to LNCT to preserve, and were also among the first trust supporters to contribute to the fundraiser online through nehalemtrust. org. They join the proud family of land donors in the Nehalem Valley region who have helped shape our ecosystem through placing their lands into conservation.

Boone files for relection for State Represtentative
Rep. Deborah Boone (D - Cannon Beach) has filed for re-election to continue representing the north coast communities of House District 32. “We’ve made big strides on Oregonians’ biggest priorities, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said Rep. Boone. “Last year, we passed the largest K-12 budget in state history, funded full-day Kindergarten for the first time, and made big investments in higher
education. We also approved bonding for seismic upgrades for schools and public safety buildings that will make them safer in the event of earthquakes and will provide hundreds of jobs in the process.” “I am running for re-election so that I can continue working to protect education and public safety funding, improve our economy and do my best to represent the people who call this district home. We know that there is a direct correlation between higher education and economic advantage and I will do everything I can to ensure that Oregonians have access to higher education. Whether they want to go straight to a vocational career path or to the full academic approach it is one of my top priorities.” Rep. Boone has represented HD32 since 2004. Since then, she has led the House on key issues like emergency and tsunami preparedness,
including introducing the Oregon Resilience Plan and creating a senior policy advisor position on resilience in the Governor’s office, promoting renewable energy projects, ocean and fisheries policy and services for seniors and veterans. Previously, Rep. Boone served 16 years as a legislative assistant to seven legislators. She also served as a Clatsop County Commissioner. In addition, she was appointed by Governors to the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Council, Pacific NW Economic Region, Pacific Fisheries Legislative Task Force, Oregon Ocean Resources Management Task Force (now the Ocean Policy Advisory Council), Public Commission on the Oregon Legislature, Juvenile Justice Advisory Council, and the Children’s Trust Fund of Oregon. She served her community for 16 years a volunteer firefighter.
By Shaena Peterson Trees, Cheese and Ocean Breeze – it’s the reason we live here. Loggers, farmers and fishermen are the backbone of Tillamook County. Too often I hear their dismay with government – it’s not they don’t care about our environment, it’s the struggle with ever increasing regulations. As County Commissioner, it will be my goal to make sure doing what’s best for our environment does not mean crippling our backbone. “Build it and they will
come.” Everything plays a part. We need more housing, desperately. A housing task force has been formed and they’re doing great work, but everybody needs to be on board. Let’s encourage tiny houses. They take up less energy. In fact, if they use solar and bio resources, let’s give them a break. Sustainability on an eighth of an acre. Let’s make sure the planning and development process runs smoothly. Further, if the zoning is for high-density residential, let’s go up not out with affordable, energy efficient apartments, encouraging the highest and best use of our land. And that includes our farmland. We could reduce the odor from our dairy farms by 75 percent or more and we could lessen the damage done by flooding. Process the waste differently, let our ditches run freely and clean out the mouths of our rivers. Let’s continue to work toward healthy, productive forests. We know how to manage our resources; we need federal and state regula-
tors to recognize the fact. We must look for answers to improve our infrastructure so it’s welcoming to passenger, commercial and farm vehicles. There is a mandate by 2025 our energy must be 25 percent renewable. I do not believe wind is the answer, though it plays a part. Instead of the massive turbines out on our ocean, up on our hills, the small turbine on top of the three-story apartment building, but let’s go with bird-friendly, bladeless technology. While we’re up there, let’s add a solar array. Our farmers could be processing manure so efficiently PUD is giving them a check each month. From slash to sawdust, burning wood waste is a simple process and getting the debris to the power plant should be made easier. As County Commissioner, I promise to work toward a healthy, happy, well-educated community where you know your voice will be heard. Tillamook County is my home and I will protect it and you.
IRS Scam callers active in Tillamook County An aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers has been making the rounds again, including in Tillamook Country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Several of the recent calls have told the victims, once they received their money, to go verify their signature at the Sheriff’s Office. Some victims have been told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information. If the phone isn’t answered, the scammers often leave an “urgent” callback
request. Note that the IRS will never: 1) call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill; 2) demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe; 3) require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card; 4) ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or 5) threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

Hello to the world! M
y old computer finally bit the dust. It never got over the notice that the manufacturers had announced they would no longer provide backup for their products that kept it working.. My new machine is a laptop, but I doubt I will be doing much work with it perched in that position. I see in the news that PC sales are down, so maybe this will be the last of it’s kind. I can’t imagine typing on a smart phone. Just talking on the phone is probably what I should doing. All that along with a huge overload of information stored there in, made the move to new equipment necessary. Typing on a little key board with these

One of our kids was showing me their new smart phone and demonstrated how you could instantly have another person on the line with the answer for any question they could imagine.. I allowed that it was indeed pretty amazing, but we had that same thing way back when I was a kid. You picked up the phone and a voice said “Operator” Depending on how big your community was, she knew everything about everybody.

on day to day tasks. This whole communications business is remarkable. I am sure that the young people do not realize how fantastic it is that we send messages and images around the world in the blink of an eye. In some ways this instant knowledge actually works against us. This crazy stuff that has been happening in eastern Oregon is a good example. No matter what the merits are of the event, the media stories kick in and that fuels the flames and the imaginations of every malcontent who thinks they should throw their own weight into the fray. Freedom of speech is something we all have and should protect,however it can be
a lifetime skill and healthy recreational activity. Benefiting the lives of over 200 children, (including Basic skills students of School District #56) the lessons are provided weekly through out the school year. The Pool-A-Thon event raises a substantial amount of funds necessary to keep the NCRD/Nehalem Elementary Swim Program Afloat! Donors pledge student swimmers a flat rate or a specific amount for each length of the pool the student
swims. Participating kids canvass throughout the community looking for sponsors who will pledge dollars for their swimming efforts. The big event is held on a Saturday, thus providing the kids a venue to showcase their fine tuned swim skills for supportive family and friends! The Saturday following the Pool-A-Thon, the swimmers are rewarded with a celebratory party for their dedication to the cause.
All proceeds from the Pool-A-Thon go directly towards the NCRD/ Nehalem Elementary School Swim Instruction/Water Safety Awareness Program. 26th Annual Pool-AThon 2016 • February 20, 2016 Saturday 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Donations gladly accepted!

Potholes Potholes – no one likes them. During the December 2015 storm we had several roads closed primarily due to culvert failures. We usually record 98 inches of rainfall a year. December 8 brought us 20” inches recorded in some areas of Tillamook. With all the rain, Potholes pop up by magic almost overnight. In reality potholes are created in a number of ways. The most common way is when water seeps into cracks in the surface of the road and, combined with the vibration of the tires over the cracks, causes the asphalt to fail. That is why there are more potholes after it rains or
when the temperature shifts. Once there is a weak spot, every vehicle that travels over it makes the problem worse creating plenty of work for Public Works crews — and a rocky ride for some drivers and cyclists. We have 15 employees that continually work on the 328 miles of county roads. Due to the immense damage of the December 2015 storm our crew are still unplugging culverts, cleaning ditches, clearing slides, repairing the damage on the shoulders and clearing debris. With the small crew size it is very difficult to manage the county road transportation system.
We are thankful that the voters showed their confidence and support to the Tillamook County Road Department by supporting a General Obligation Bond passed in 2013. These funds have enabled us to rehabilitate and pave some of our roads, do some bridge maintenance and culvert repair. With plenty of winter left to go and a shortage of funding and crews, the problem with potholes isn’t likely to go away anytime soon. Please bear with us; we will get to those pot holes as soon as we can. In the meantime please drive slowly being aware of the conditions of
our county road system. The public should use extra caution as potholes that form in the winter months may damage vehicles. Avoiding potholes also helps keep the holes from getting bigger. Please remember to keep the travelling public and road workers safe by following the speed signs in construction zones. For more information call the Tillamook County Public Works (TCPW) Department at 503-842-3419.

Just like parks and protected natural areas on land, there are multiple benefits of protected areas in the ocean. These sites also serve as living laboratories, where we can learn about marine reserve protections and Oregon’s ocean environment to help us maintain our seas for future generations. Oregon has designated five marine reserve sites, located at Cascade Head (near Lincoln City), Otter Rock (near Newport), Cape Perpetua (near Yachats), Redfish Rocks (near Port Orford), and Cape Falcon (near Manzanita). The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for managing and scientifically monitoring these five sites. Learn more about Cape Falcon and the other Marine Reserves at http:// www.oregonmarinereserves.org/. The Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve is a group of local people and organizations who are working to increase understanding and appreciation of the marine reserve. The local group works closely with a number of nonprofits including the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, North Coast Land Conservancy, Haystack Rock Awareness Program, Oregon State Parks, The Nature Conservancy, Surfrider, and local watershed councils to put on educational lectures, field trips,

The Lower Nehalem Watershed Council is exited to partner with the Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve to bring this exciting presentation on sea bird populations and citizen science to the communities who worked so hard to see the local Marine Reserve go into effect. Presenter Joe Liebezeit has worked for the Audubon Society of Portland since 2013. He manages their citizen science projects and a number of state-wide conservation efforts including ocean conservation work. Prior to his position with Portland Audubon, Joe worked for the Wildlife Conservation Society for 12 years leveraging on-the-ground science efforts to protect wildlife from oil development and climate change impacts in Arctic Alaska. Joe received his Bachelor’s degree in Zoology from the University of New Hampshire and a Master’s Degree in Wildlife Management from Humboldt State University. Joe has lived in the northwest for nearly 20 years and in Portland since 2005. In his free time Joe enjoys family time with his wife, two daughters, and pets. Joe enjoys playing and listening to music, exploring natural areas, and of course, bird watching!

Neahkahnie Art Show A beacon for canoes, sailors, and visitors from all over, Neahkahnie Mountain has inspired local tribes, treasure hunters, mystics and explorers for many centuries. Join in on Saturday, March 5, 2016 from 5-7 p.m. at the North County Recreation District Gallery, 36155 9th St in Nehalem, for the opening of a community art show and sale honoring this special mountain. Artists in a variety of media will have works for sale through March. Neahkahnie Mountain is a sacred place to the ClatsopNehalem people, touched
by the Creator. It has always sustained our people: the mountain’s summit served as a beacon to canoe travelers, while the elk and plants of its lower slopes had a long and enduring relationship with Nehalem villagers. This mountain is still hugely important to us today, and is one of the few places where we can still see the land as the ancestors saw it. First and foremost, it is a mountain that deserves our ongoing respect, protection, and delicate care. A portion of the proceeds from art sales during this event will be donated to the
NKN Youth Athletics Chili Feed Fundraiser and Silent Auctionis Saturday, Feb. 13, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Rockaway LIONS Club located at 286 South Anchor Street in Rockaway Beach.

Lady Loggers hold off Pirates Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net While Alaina Holm burned the Loggers for 20 points, Vernonia was still able to survive the hot spot for a too-close for comfort 42-38 win Thursday in Rockaway Beach. The loss dropped the Lady Pirates into a two-way tie for second with Faith Bible, both with 8-2 records in league play. Vernonia improved to 9-0 and almost has locked down the league crown. The seventh-ranked Lady Loggers are 16-2 for the season going into the final five league games – with four of the foes battling at the bottom of the league standings. Those four foes have a combined 8-29 league record. Faith Bible, the secondplace team, lost to the Loggers by more than 20 points
earlier in the season. The Loggers started Thursday’s game with a 10-6 advantage after the first quarter and turned it into a 22-12 lead by halftime. In the second half, the Lady Pirates outscored the visitors by a 26-20 margin but it wasn’t quite enough to knock off the undefeated league leaders. Annie Romig finished with nine points, while Maddie Lambert added eight. “We lost by four to the top team in the league,” coach Corey Douma said. “The girls played hard and I can’t ask for a better effort. We had been kind of slacking in the last few games and not playing to our potential. In this game, they really brought it.” He was pleased with how the team responded in the second half. “We were down by 10 at the half and we came back. We pulled within
three and if we could have knocked a few free throws down or few shots..... We were right there at the end. Our girls battled hard and that is what I wanted to see.” It was the second loss in two days for the Pirates, after dropping a 39-26 decision in a non-league encounter Wednesday at Warrenton. Neah-Kah-Nie travels to Knappa Tuesday with an 8-2 league record and a 10-7 seasonal mark. “We beat them the first time, but playing at Knappa is another story,” the coach said. “We have to bring this effort (the Vernonia game) in each and every game and not just against Vernonia. Good things will happen if we play with this kind of intensity.” The team will host Faith Bible in a battle for second place Friday at 6 p.m. before they start the final week of league play.

Use Generators Safely
Nikki Kuehl, FNP Family Nurse Practitioner
Tips for Safe Generator Operation:
The Women’s and Family Health Clinic welcomes Nikki Kuehl, Family Nurse Practitioner. Nikki is accepting new patients of all ages, men, women and children. She brings to Women’s and Family Health a wealth of experience and a love for the community.
Read and follow all manufacturer operating instructions. Never connect a standby generator into your home’s electrical system. 1) For a stationary generator – A professional should have installed an approved generator transfer switch, which keeps your house circuits separate from the utility. 2) For a portable generator – Plug your appliances directly into the outlet provided on the generator.
Nikki grew up in Tillamook County and graduated from Nestucca in 1994. She is happy to be home and we welcome her back.
Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home—out and away from your garage—away from doors, windows, and vents into your home. The carbon monoxide the generator produces is DEADLY. Start the generator first—BEFORE connecting appliances.
Now accepting patients.
Use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect electric appliances to the outlet on the generator.

Sprouting up with Energy and Life by Growing your Own
The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia
H
ow’s your year of wellness going? Mine is doing good so far, which I think is a new record that I actually made it this far and am still inspired. It feels so good to be eating healthy and caring for myself. One of the habits I love to do is growing my own sprouts. It’s funny I forget all about growing sprouts till the dark days of winter and fresh local produce is at its scarcest, then I start my little indoor garden. Sprouts are probably the number one super foods that you could possible eat. They are nutritional complete, chocked full of vitamins, minerals, proteins, chlorophyll and enzymes. They are low in calories and contain nutritional super powers. Amazingly enough, the industrious Chinese discovered their nutritional value over 5000 years ago but we tend to forget things, don’t we? The reason sprouts are so super charged is because they contain all the elements a plant needs for life and growth. The endosperm of the seed is the storehouse of carbohydrates, protein, RNA, DNA and nutrients. When sprouts are used as food, the powerful life force in them is released into the body. These essential nutrients, only found in live foods, signal the body to generate healthy cells and fuel us with new vigor and life. Sprouts are basically miniature fountains of youth! There is just one tiny problem; they are really hard to buy ever since commercially grown sprouts have gotten a bad reputation of handing out tainted sprouts….occasionally. Fortunately this is an easy problem to cure, grow your own. Growing you own sprouts is easy and safe,
takes very little equipment, provides fresh, organic, produce all year long, and is really cheap. Oh, I forgot to mention, it’s actually quite fun. The simplest way to get started is to get a quart mason jar, buy a screened lid at Mother Nature’s, online or make your own and get sprouting. (You can also get sprouting seeds from Mother Nature’s.) I personally like to use “Easy Sprouter” sprouting cup from Frontier Natural Products which are affordable and you get a higher quality of sprout. Sprouting trays are also a good way to grow your own. I have tried many different ones and like the “Sproutmaster” best. Make sure and rinse your sprouts often, keep in a cool place in the kitchen and bleach your sprouting device after each batch to banish bad bacteria. All of the above sprouting devices are available at “sproutpeople.com” which is a rocking great web site. They also have wonderful mixes of sprouts that are super tasty and fun. A very good book to read about how to sprout and the enormous benefits of them is “Sprouts; the Miracle Food” by Steve Meyerowitz aka “Sprout man.” Meyerowitz, who is a passionate believer, healed himself of asthma and severe allergies by eating lots of sprouts. You can sprout just about any seed that hasn’t been roasted or toasted. Some of the favorites are; Alfalfa sprouts are what people typically think of when you mention sprouts. They are chocked full of protein and antioxidants. Broccoli sprouts have just recently become popular after it was discovered that they abound with the amazing cancer-fighting phytochemical, sulforaphane. Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are a good source of fiber and can be sprouted to make delightfully delicious hummus. Lentil sprouts, (one of my favs) are very tasty and can be eaten raw or cooked. Radish sprouts taste just like radishes, bright and fresh. Loaded with Vitamin C. They are great on sandwiches or in salads. There is something completely satisfying about growing your own food, especially in the dead of the winter. I am always amazed with how clear and vital I feel after eating sprouts. You will be able to feel the difference almost immediately. You will feel like a super sprout yourself by eating and growing your own sprouts with very little effort.
“Stop treating your stomach like a compost and start treating it like a garden!” – Steve Meyerowitz aka Sproutman
Legume Sprout Salad with Asian Peanut Dressing This recipe is a treat for the senses with its bright colors and medley of flavors. I sprouted lentils, chickpeas, peas, and alfalfa for this salad. To make this a main dish, add a can of albacore tuna. Tahini, sesame paste, can be substituted for the peanut butter. Remember to use as many organic products as possible. Serves 4 The salad 2 to 3 cups legume sprouts 1 cup of small spouts like alfalfa 1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced
3 or 4 carrots, grated or peeled into long strips 1 or 2 sweet peppers, chopped Asian Peanut dressing
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika 1 tablespoon of sesame oil 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 tablespoon of honey 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 large shallot, minced
1 cup of chicken or veggie broth, low sodium 3 tablespoons of peanut butter or tahini 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce 4 tablespoons of rice vinegar 1 tablespoon of white wine ½ to 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, (I like to use Sriracha Thai)
Prepare the veggies and toss merrily in a medium bowl. Toss all the dressing ingredients into the blender and frothify. Artfully plate the veggies on a beautiful plate and drizzle with the dressing. To life!

Buttercup owner has sweet recipe for success J
ulie Barker opened Buttercup Homemade Ice Creams & Chowders on April 3, last year at a space in the Nehalem Riverside Trading Company building located on Hwy 101 North going through Nehalem. You can’t miss it, it’s the big yellow building on the east side of the main drag. Barker has been in business in North County for 29 years, so she knows very well the struggles mom and pop shops face each week. But her recipe for success comes from a mixture of knowing the market, experience in the restaurant business and hard work. “I have been wanting to do this style of restaurant for five years,” she said. “I know everybody, I do cater to the locals, that’s my number one focus.” After listening to her clientele over the years, she decided to open a restaurant that focused on handcrafted chowders and ice cream offerings. “What I’m making here really is artisan chowders, that’s really what it is, handcrafted,” Barker said. “As far as the ice cream, no one is doing homemade ice cream and we are the only ones pairing their ice cream with it’s own flavored cones.” Since selling Bread & Ocean in Manzanita in November of 2014, Barker has had very little idle time.

“I have to be working,” she commented. “I can get into trouble if I don’t have something to do.” This will be the third business Barker has developed in North Tillamook County during that last 29 years, starting with the Blue Sky Café and then Bread & Ocean, now Buttercup. “I’m always trying to find a niche that hasn’t been filled in our area, so I came up with the idea for a small batch, seasonal, homemade, to-go only, ice cream/ chowder shop,” Barker said “I will be making four different rotating seasonal chowders – a traditional Northwest clam chowder, maybe a spicy Thai-style seafood chowder, a non-dairy, coconut milk based sweet potato, black bean and corn or smoked chicken or smoked salmon or shrimp chowder; definitely a tomato-based Manhattan style or Cioppino, all made to order. No chowder sittin’ around. The new shop has a freezer section to supply grab-n-go for both ice creams and chowders. “My list of ice creams/sorbets/ gelatos is long, but I plan on rotating nine or 10 seasonal varieties includAnyone like semifreddo?

I’m so excited to bring the best chowder and ice cream to Nehalem.” Her plans for the future are huge. She said she wants to franchise along the coast and even sell her ice cream and chowders in grocery stores. “Now that we’ve been open for a while, I’m working on franchising and marketing the business,” she

added. “Trying to make a living on the Oregon Coast is a struggle, but with passion, experience and vision, it can be done. I believe I have passion and vision. I felt that anywhere I would be there would be a line out the door, let’s hope this is a success story, whether it will be well received — time will tell.” Buttercup is located at 35915 Hwy 101 N in downtown Nehalem. Buttercup is open Wednesday through Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Summer hours are open seven days a week, 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
