avid Yamamoto has announced his candidacy for the position of Tillamook County Commissioner, Position #2. This seat is currently held by Commissioner Mark Labhart, who has announced he will not run for another term. “A resident of Pacific City, I believe Tillamook County needs strong leaders who come to the table with fresh perspectives and have a willingness to work harder and smarter for every citizen of Tillamook County,” said Yamamoto. “I feel it is important to give back to the community that has offered so much to me and my wife, Terrie.” Yamamoto has worked for over 20 years in the forest products industry, 19 years as a long-term care specialist dealing with senior issues, and most recently as a real estate broker. An active community volunteer, he is also a part of the Pacific City-Woods Citizen’s Advisory Committee, NW Area Commission on Transportation, Tillamook County Health Care CAC, Territorial Sea Plan Advisory

s everyone joins their families for Thanksgiving, the Crosman family will enjoy a final few days with daughter Katie as she prepares to fly half way around the world to Thailand on November 30th. Katie Crosman, a NeahKah-Nie High School graduate, during a backpacking trip to Southeast Asia in 2007, encountered posters and propaganda about human trafficking that she found puzzling. “The posters show

a man holding the hand of a small boy, and said something like ‘If you see this, report it to authorities.’ And I was like ‘What?’ No way, it’s just a bad movie. But, unfortunately, I soon learned that it’s not exaggerated and in fact, the problem with human trafficking in Southeast Asia is even worse than how it’s depicted in the movies,” Crosman explained. “That’s when I first had an idea to volunteer there, to do something about it.” Crosman will be volunteering with an organization called “Development & Education Program for Daughters & Community”, or DEPDC,

that has been doing human trafficking prevention work in the northern hills of Thailand for 25 years. DEPDC programs include a school and orphanage, as many of the victims, or potential victims, are often abandoned by their families. “It’s such a deprived area,” said Crosman. “The tribes in the hills are often approached by the traffickers and the families sell their own children for the price of the television.” The DEPDC “rescues” many potential victims to provide a safe environment, an education,

closed market. That’s how one member of the new Tillamook Housing Task Force described the housing situation in Tillamook County. Representatives from CARE, Habitat for Humanity, Pelican Pub and Brewery, Tillamook Regional Medical Center, Columbia Bank, Tillamook County Creamery Association, the Small Business Development Center, the Tillamook County Community Development Department, and several others met on Nov. 9 to begin the long process of finding solutions to the housing epidemic in Tillamook County. Spearheaded by Commissioner Bill Baertlein, the Task Force was assembled because of the success of the Transient Lodging Tax. TLT has kicked off and wants to increase tourism to the area, CARE’s Executive Director Erin Skaar said. Employers will need additional staff for additional visitors “Staff will not be here if they don’t have a place to live,” Skaar continued. Local employers including the Creamery and Tillamook Regional Medical Center find that the housing situation is a huge barrier

Thanksgiving Day T

he Pizza Garden will serve a Thanksgiving dinner. “I’ve always wanted to invite those in the community who don’t have family here, or a place to go for Thanksgiving to come here,” said Pizza Garden owner Jeanne Wells. “So this year, we are.” Anyone who is alone or doesn’t have a place to go, or can’t afford a Thanksgiving meal, is invited to the Pizza Garden for a Thanksgiving dinner , starting at 3 p.m. with all the traditional dishes. Donations will be accepted for the meal, but not expected. The Pizza Garden is located in downtown Nehalem. “This is my way to say thank you to the community for supporting the

Pizza Garden,” said Wells.

in recruiting because potential candidates are unable to find a place to live—affordable or anything. “It’s been a struggling need here for decades,” Senior Planner for Tillamook County Community Development Sarah Absher said. Without a Housing Authority in Tillamook County, several employers in the area are motivated to find a solution themselves. The Tillamook County Creamery Association has committed $50,000 to the Task Force’s work, with an addition $1,500 coming from Charter Communications. The Task Force also requested $1,000 from Columbia Bank. “We have folks willing to step forward at whatever level they’re able to,” Skaar said. “It’s time in Tillamook for us to rely on ourselves. It’s the stories we’ve been talking about here…we can’t wait for someone to come in here with a solution.” In the primitive stages, the Task Force is interested in an analysis of all types of housing, but three types of housing are of particular interest: 1. Low and very low income 2. Workforce and family housing 3. Young professional and professional housing

Commentary

Old or new, wet or dry! One of the nice things I discovered many years ago was that living in an area with a large population of older folks has many rewards. While I surely wasn’t classified as being old at the age of 55 when I pulled the work plug, I soon found myself involved in community affairs with people who wanted to help solve the problems of living in a small town. Some of them had backgrounds that were amazing. Even those who hadn’t climbed the corporate ladder to any great height had experience that allowed them to make great contributions. Most of the people I worked with in those early days of my retirement are no longer among us, but the fruits of their labors are being enjoyed by the present occupants. Our little part of

looks like heaven. After a long dry summer and fall, we are now watching Mother Nature remind us of who is in charge. True Oregonians, and others who have been here for awhile, think rain is just fine, and just work around whatever is happening. We have many volunteers, both young and old, who give of their time and expertise to make our life even better. Every volunteer brings something unique to the table, and with their assistance, big problems become easier to handle. I would say that having a bunch of older people around can be counted as one of our assets, and for those younger people who may criticize us now and then, with a bit of luck, you will all be in our position and can live the good life.

the computer. That brings me to wonder how we all worked back in the days before we had those screens to watch at all times. I know that I had a secretary, and because I could type, I would write up documents, and then pass them to her for the final copy work. One time, some brain head decided that we didn’t need that many secretaries and so they formed a pool, where we would send our material and they would type the finished product. It didn’t work very well, and sending out letters with many corrections showing was a bit embarrassing. These days, with automatic spell check, we don’t have as many of those kinds of problems. So, here we are, living on the left edge of the country, in a place that is a bit wet, now and then, but surely

Becoming a Master Gardener in Tillamook County Want to grow your green thumb? Want to become a better gardener, applying up-to-date scientific methods, reducing pesticides and weeds? Learn from the experts and become a Master Gardener this winter. Weekly classes taught by Oregon State University (OSU) faculty and local experts start January 7. Every Thursday, you will hear from a variety of experts on all aspects of gardening on the Oregon coast. The 12-week course, offered by the Tillamook office of Oregon State University Extension Service, will cover soils, propagation, pruning, landscape and garden planning and design, suitable plants for coastal gardening and landscaping, pest and disease control, weed management, orchards, raised beds, and other topics of interest to local gardeners. Students will experience a variety

of hands on and interactive training, including greenhouse techniques at our learning garden, assisted by local Master Gardeners and OSU staff. The program also requires 60 hours of community service work in the first year of training, including advising the public during Master Gardener office hours. “By taking the Master Gardener classes, and in helping others, our Master Gardener apprentices develop their own expertise and abilities to better serve the community. This is a great way to help yourself and others enjoy their gardens using current scientific knowledge,” Joy Jones, local OSU Extension Agent, says. 2 OF 2 “The classes are very informative and professional,” one of last year’s students says. “The time flies, I had a lot of fun, and I am a much more informed

and capable gardener now. My gardening skills really improved. This is the best bargain a gardener could find.” Tuition is $120 and includes the comprehensive Sustainable Gardening book, as well as access to a wide range of printed and on-line resources, and experienced professional instructors. For those who do not have the time or desire to volunteer, they too may take the training and receive a certificate of horticulture. The fee for this option is $240. Enroll now! Call the Extension Service office at 503-842-3433 or visit them at 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook, for more information. In addition, registration information can be found at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/ . Classes will be held at the main Tillamook Bay Community College campus.

City unveils new fountain spray at Seaview Lake By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net

There will be showers now in Rockaway Beach, even on a clear day. And, even at night. The City of Rockaway Beach has replaced a fountain in Seaview Lake that had been not working for more than a decade. The old fountain hadn’t been operating for many years, according to Luke Shepard, the city’s public works director. “The Lions Club here in Rockaway really cleaned up around the lake,” Shepard said. “They put a lot of work into it, brushing it out and making it look nice.” The Neah-Kah-Nie School District added to the new look, “helping with the footpath around the lake,” he added. According to Shepard, the

fountain was originally built in the 1950s. “It was originally part of the city’s drinking supply, but after awhile the state wasn’t going to allow that any longer. The new fountain will be visible at night, too. “It is lit at night. There are LED lights on the fountain itself,” he explained. The city put the money into the budget in the spring and by the end of October, the old fountain had been replaced. “The city had tried for awhile to get a few grants, but those didn’t work out. During this year’s budget process it was decided to include it in the budget this year.” “We removed it in October, using Burden’s Big Boy Truck. They dragged it out,” he added. Seaview Lake is springfed, added Shepard.

The new fountain at Seaview Lake in Rockaway Beach will also be lit up at night by LEDs on the pedestal.

international projects that relieve suffering around the world and these will also be presented. Shoppers are able to donate to any of these worthy organizations from near and far. Then they receive gift cards to give friends and loved ones to say a gift was made in their name to a cause that will benefit others. Organizers encourage shoppers to bring their checkbooks instead of credit cards as it adds to event costs to process the credit cards. Soup and bread provide the sustenance at this venue. The 11th annual Market is again sponsored by Fulcrum Community Resources, whose mission is to create sustainability in north Tillamook County. For more information, call 503-368-6874. Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church, 45th Annual Christmas Bazaar & Clam Chowder

Luncheon, 10th & A Streets, Nehalem. This long-running bazaar not only features handcrafted items and baked goods made by the women of the church but their famous clam chowder as well. The chowder is made using a “from scratch” recipe that started with June Johnson who resided in Manzanita many years ago. It has changed very little and still includes hand chopped vegetables, cream, and an abundance of clams prepared in the church’s approved Health Department kitchen. There is also veggie soup along with pie and ice cream. The wide selection of handmade items includes candy, jams and jellies, Christmas ornaments and cards as well as beautiful roses created by one of our members. There will be ready-to-give baskets, beautiful needle work and other crafts. Several outside vendors

will also be on site with a wide variety of handcrafted items such as rocks and gems, baby items, baked breads and rolls, jewelry, cards, birdhouses, and beautiful crocheted gifts. Changes to the Bazaar this year include adding some Christmas-only tables where you can find decorations and gifts and making Granny’s Attic Rummage Sale a stand-alone event in the spring. For the second year in a row the Silent Auction will be held from 10-2 with items from local businesses and individuals. Monies raised during the bazaar go to support their various Mission Projects such as Marie Mills, North County Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Secret Angles, and Women’s Resource Center as well as national and international missions.

Coal Creek Trails: diamond in the rough in the Nehalem Valley By Dan Haag North Coast Citizen

Hiking is an extremely popular pastime on the North Oregon Coast, with trails of just about every shape, size and degree of difficulty. If you are looking to ditch the usual trail crowds but not stray too far from civilization, the Coal Creek Trails system outside of Nehalem might be just what you are looking for. Highway 101 cuts through the middle of downtown Nehalem. While most travelers heading south hang a hard right at the town’s only light, hikers in the know take a quiet left out of town. Here, down North Fork Road, the road winds and bumps along through a lush

farming valley buttressed by mountains and the Nehalem River. One gets the sense you are about to embark on a

grand adventure. At around milepost four, a left turn up a largely unmarked gravel road confirms that thought. You’ve reached the starting point for a unique and fulfilling hiking destination. A non-motorized trail system, Coal Creek Trails have been around in one shape or form since they were first cleared in 1998. The system traverses low land coastal forest and allows hikers to take in dense stands of trees and a variety of wildlife. There are two main trails in the system; Outback Trail and Coal Creek Trail. Outback Trail begins a quarter mile up from the road and has become very popular with mountain bikers because of its varied

climbs. Coal Creek Trail winds through older forest featuring large spruce and hemlock. It runs about one mile

up-slope to connect with Coal Creek Ridge Road. The trails also offer a glimpse into Oregon Coast history; they happen to run along an old railroad line that was used in the early part of the 20th century for logging operations. “There are two old railroad bridges that run over the trails,” says Clyde Zeller, Recreation Unit Manager for Tillamook State Forest District. “They were part of logging railroad work done around the 1920’s.” Those railroad operations also included coal mining on Weyerhauser-owned land, further up from the current trails. Zeller adds that more research is presently being conducted to uncover further data related to the historical value of the railroad tracks. Overall, Zeller is responsible for taking care of trails and other recreation facilities on state forestland. With this in mind, the Coal Creek Trails have undergone serious maintenance this past spring in hopes of increasing awareness of their recreational value. Under Zeller’s direction, students from the University of Idaho put in some serious trail work. The students, who participated in what is called “alternative Spring Break,” came from a variety of disciplines to contribute to the trail’s upkeep. “A lot of brush clearing and water control projects,” Zeller says. While both trails in the system are great for avid mountain bikers, that usage comes with a price. “On Coal Creek Trail, mountain bikers built of some ramps and jumps, which changed water drainage on the trail,” Zeller says. He added that due to its semi-remote location, maintenance on Outback Trail is difficult to keep on top of consistently. 2016 will bring a chance to do some upkeep

on the trails after a heavy year of usage. Still, it’s hard to argue with the beautiful solitude of the trail system. That includes the variety of wildlife present, some of which hikers don’t often see on more popular trails such as Cape Falcon or Neahakhnie Mountain. Zeller says that on any given day, hikers may see fantail deer, elk, beaver and birds such as red tail hawks. “We’ve come across bobcat prints on several occasions,” he notes. Zeller adds that Coal Creek itself is a great fishbearing stream with its gravel bars and good shade. Perhaps most the most appealing aspect is that such a remote and unique area lies so close to town. Zeller hopes that fact will continue to draw people. “It’s a completely different experience than what you’d find at, say, Oswald West,” he says. “You get to see a working forest and a variety of landscapes. And If you are looking to ditch the usual trail crowds but not stray too far you can throw your bike in from civilization, the Coal Creek Trails system outside of Nehalem might the car and be there after be just what you are looking for. work.”

Remembering to be grateful, especially for leftovers!

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia

T

hanksgiving leftovers. Who doesn’t love them? I once heard that if Thanksgiving is the biggest eating day of the year then the day after is the second biggest eating day of the year. I completely agree with this! I honestly think everything tastes better. Maybe it’s cause I’m not stuffed to the gills but I am so grateful for those leftovers. Now I must have a repeat of that delicious dinner the day after, let’s say by brunch, seeming I had pie for breakfast, but by the next morning my mind (and my taste buds) have begun to wander. I start wondering what else I can do with all the nummy food bulging from the fridge. We all know the classic turkey sandwich that is a must the next day. In fact, when I polled my friends and majority of them voted turkey sandwiches as their favorite

post turkey day food. My favorite? Turkey soup. The first thing I do the morning after (after I’ve had my pie of course) is to stuff the turkey carcass in a large pot and make stock with it. Turkey makes the most wonderful stock and enough to last through many a soup night in the winter. Just place the turkey carcass, wings and neck included, in a large soup pot and add a cup or so of white wine, a few carrots, celery, some sprigs of herbs, and a chopped onion (skin on which adds more color and depth of flavor), then fill with water till just covered. Simmer at just barely a bubble, covered, for 3-4 hours. Chill for the night and scrape the fat off the top, give it to the dog, and then bring the lovely mess up to room temp over medium heat. Remove from the heat and strip all the meat from the bones (leave in the soup) and very carefully remove all the bones and veggies from the stock. (I have found the hands are the only way to do this right, thus why room temp is so much more pleasant than 40 degrees.) And voila! Freeze in quart containers and you are well “stocked” for the winter. This is my very favorite turkey soup to make. I got this recipe from Greg Higgins, the chef at Portland’s landmark restaurant “Higgins” that is still going strong at 20 years old. The avocado relish is purely optional but elevates this soup from wonderful to fabulous. Enjoy your thanksgiving and all those abundant leftovers in the fridge and remember to give back some way during this holiday season. I am ever so thankful for you, my readers.

Turkey or Chicken Pozole Rojo with an Avocado Relish Chipotle chili powder and smoked paprika are available at Mother Nature’s in the bulk spice section. If you don’t have them, substitute regular chili powder and bump it up to 3 teaspoons. This soups serves 4-6 people as a main dish, more if a starter dish. Perfect Spice mix; 1.5 teaspoons of chipotle chili powder 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika 2 teaspoons of ground cumin 1.5 teaspoons of ground coriander 1 teaspoon of dried oregano 1 teaspoons of cracked black pepper .5 teaspoon of sea salt Prepare the spice blend by mixing all the spices together in a small bowl. (Double it for a great spice mix to use on anything you please.) Soup; 1-2 TBLS of coconut oil or other high heat oil 2 onions, coarsely chopped 2-6 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 32 oz container of low sodium organic chicken broth

OR 1 quart of homemade chicken or turkey broth 2-3 cups of cooked and shredded turkey 4-5 fat carrots, sliced into 1/4” rounds 2-3 stocks of celery, chopped 1 28 oz can of organic low sodium crushed tomatoes, undrained 1 4.5 can of mild diced green chilies 1 small can of organic tomato paste 2 bell peppers, coarsely chopped The juice of 1 to 2 limes 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey Salt and pepper to taste

for 20-35 minutes till the carrots are just starting to get tender and the house smells like goodness. Add the bell peppers and cook for 5 mins more, (I like my bell peppers slightly crunchy) then, taste and add the honey and the lime juice, a little bit at a time till you have the right flavor. Add any salt and pepper it might need and serve with the avocado relish and radishes. Ole! Relish; ½ cup of chopped cilantro 1/3 cup of chopped green onions 1 diced and peeled avocado Grated lime zest of one lime and juice 3 ounces of cotija cheese, crumbled A pinch of salt

Get out your favorite soup pot, everyone has one, and heat it up over medium-high heat and sauté the onions and garlic till fragrant and translucent, about 2-5 mins. While they are cooking sprinkle half the spice mix over it and mix in. Toss in the chopped carrots, celery and green chilies and sprinkle the rest of the spice mix over the mix while doing the cha cha. Pour in the broth, shredded meat, canned tomatoes, and paste and mix them in well. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer

When the soup is almost ready to serve, dice the avocado up and squeeze a little lime juice over it and sprinkle with the lime zest. Add the cilantro, green onions and cheese then mix gently till barely mixed. Serve on the soup.

“Indies First” event at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita Nov. 28 Two years ago the awardwinning poet and author Sherman Alexie came up with a simple but powerful way for authors to be what he called “superheroes for independent bookstores.” He named it Indies First. To participate, authors and illustrators had only to show up at their local independent bookstores on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and hand-sell books. More than eleven hundred of his colleagues did. What Sherman began with one great idea has quickly become a movement of authors and illustrators directly supporting the independent booksellers who so directly support them. Join us at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore at 148 Laneda Ave in Manzanita for the Indies First event on November 28th, 2015. That day is Small Business

Saturday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year, coming as it does right before the holidays. It’s the perfect time for you to find gift books for everyone on your list. “Shortly after we moved to Manzanita fulltime in 2006,” Kathie Hightower, author and cofounder of the Manzanita Writers’ series said, “My husband and I attended an evening where Mike Powell of Powell’s Books said something that really struck me. ‘You have one of the best independent bookstores here, in Cloud & Leaf. You need to support them…the book business is incredibly challenging these days especially because of Amazon.’ I decided to order all my books from Cloud & Leaf because I do want them here in town.” One of the things that independent bookstores do so well is

to “handsell” books, to introduce you to books you might not hear about otherwise. These can be the big bestsellers, but just as often are great books from small publishing houses or self-published books that don’t quickly get press, titles that might not gain a foothold in the book

world without the efforts of indies. “When my book came out in February,” new author Phyllis Mannan shares, “Jody bolstered my confidence by placing a stack of copies on the counter at Cloud & Leaf where customers couldn’t miss them. I owe her a debt of gratitude.” A number of local authors will be at Cloud

& Leaf Saturday, November 28, from 11-4, sharing some of their favorite books, hand-selling books. Not their own books, but other books they personally love. Indies First is a way to say thank you to independent booksellers for all they do, and specifically to show Jody and her crew at Cloud & Leaf how important they are to our town. The local authors who will be at Cloud & Leaf on Saturday November 28th are: Kathie Hightower, coauthor of Military Spouse Journey, and 1001 Things to Love About Military Life. Lauren Kessler, author of Raising the Barre, Counterclockwise, Stubborn Twig, The Write Path, and others Holly Lorincz, author of the novel Smart Mouth, and coauthor of Step By Step Pitches And
