NCRD narrows search for new general manager Selection committee whittles list down to three, decision expected March 21 By Dave Fisher The Citizen

With a field of 23 applicants to choose from, the North County Recreation District Board of Directors will choose between the two top candidates screened by a selection committee as part of the search effort. A third candidate that was selected to be interviewed withdrew his application saying after visiting the area he and his family decided they did not wish to relocate. The remaining two are from out of state as well, hailing from

Washington and Colorado, and will be interviewed during the day on March 21, after which the NCRD board members will meet and decide who gets the job. “It’s a big question, a big responsibility,” said John Coopersmith, who replaced the departing Kevin Greenwood as board chair. “It’s a tough act to follow,” he added, referring to Peter Nunn tenure as NCRD’s general manager the past five years. At its meeting March 13, the board fine-tuned its interview schedule and strategy as it looks ahead to making its final selection. While a decision is expected to made by day’s end this Friday, board member Jack Bloom urged caution. “What if we’re dissuaded with both candidates after

the interviews?” he asked his counterparts. “Are we prepared not to make an offer?” “The best action will be what is best for the district,” Coopersmith responded, noting that the district could operate with an interim general manager while a renewed search for a permanent GM continued. “The plan is to make an offer to the person selected by March 28,” Nunn told the Citizen previously, saying he flexible and could stay on longer while the board conducts its search for his replacement. In other business, board member Mary Gallagher was sworn in. Gallagher replaces Julie Chick who resigned in February. In addition to Coopersmith, Bloom and Gallagher,

Marie Ziemecki and Jennifer Holm, who was also recently appointed following Greenwood’s resignation, round out the five-member board. In finalizing its goals for 2014 NCRD’s top priority is to continue to review staff benefits to ensure the district attracts and retains qualified personnel. To that end it has approved a retirement plan for its 12 full-time employees with a fixed two percent contribution with an employee match of at least three percent. The plan, which will be administered by TLC Federal Credit Union, will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process and take effect July 1, 2014, the beginning of NCRD’s new fiscal year. As it looked to attract quality candidates for the

general manager’s position, the move to institute a retirement plan for employees and bring NCRD in line with other governmental entities took center stage beginning last November when a three-person committee was selected to explore retirement plan options for the district. Meanwhile, the budget process gets underway April 17. Returning members of the Budget Committee include Rick Dart and Marv Hirte. Veteran committee members Ann Morgan and Victoria Stoppiello were also approved by the board at its March meeting, leaving open just one position with a two-year term. The Budget Committee also includes NCRD board members and Nunn, who will serve as budget officer.

Cost of doing business in Nehalem goes up $15 per year By Dave Fisher The Citizen

As expected, the City of Nehalem has passed an ordinance regulating and licensing businesses within its city limits effective immediately. The annual cost to business owners doing business in Nehalem: $15 annually. “It’s not about money,” Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven told the Citizen. “It’s about having more control as to what type of businesses come to Nehalem.” The action came at the February meeting of the Nehalem City Council following a public hearing in which no member of the audience commented. Council members voted unanimously in favor of adopting Ordinance 2014-01, better known as the Business License Ordinance. Even council president Dale Stockton, a longtime opponent of the idea of instituting a policy of requiring business licenses in Nehalem, voted in favor of the ordinance, said Kalkhoven. “Times have changed,” she said, not only in people’s attitudes but the nature of businesses. As for the amount of money that will add to the city’s general fund, Kalkhoven said she couldn’t imagine it amounting to more than a few hundred dollars. “Frankly, there’s not that many businesses in Nehalem,” she noted. While it took the oldest incorporated city in the Nehalem Bay area to adopt a city licensing program, both Manzanita and Wheeler have required business licenses for decades. Currently, the annual fee for doing business in Wheeler is $50, collected the beginning of each new fiscal year, and accounting for over $3,000 that is targeted for the city’s street and general funds. Further north, Manzanita, which up until 2005 charged businesses $50 annually like Wheeler, revamped its business license fee schedule that year making it a graded fee based on number of employees at one time during peak season, including the business owners and managers. For one to two employees the fee is $75 annually; three to five, $100; and six employees and

Weichert Wellness to open soon in Manzanita For the Citizen

“Yes, I’m here to stay…” says Bronwen Weichert, FNP (family nurse practitioner), formerly with the Rinehart Clinic, who is pleased to announce the establishment of her private practice, Weichert Wellness LLC, opening soon in Manzanita at 123 Laneda Ave. Site renovations are currently underway and the practice is tentatively scheduled to open its doors March 31. Current or prospective patients are encouraged to contact her at (503) 3684393 and leave a message. Someone will return your call within 24 hours to schedule an appointment. Weichert Wellness uses an integrated approach to healthcare. Along with treating symptoms of chronic disease, lifestyle and nutrition are explored to find the most effective treatments for a patient’s individual needs. Weichert Wellness will also offer aesthetic medicine, as well as a retail area with apoth-

Bronwen Weichert ecary prescriptions and a variety of products that are only available from a licensed healthcare provider. Weichert is a boardcertified family nurse practitioner specializing in primary and women’s care. She specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women and has special training in addressing chemical and hormone imbalances

of the endocrine system. Since Weichert utilizes a personal approach to health and wellness it requires more face-to-face time with patients. “I found that working in a setting that demanded seeing multiple patients an hour was not how I wanted to practice medicine,” says Weichert. “I want to spend more time with my patients and look forward to building lasting relationships that lead to overall wellness. “My husband, five-yearold daughter and I fell in love with this community when we got here. We considered moving back to a more urban area, but in the end it is our patients and this beautiful place that are keeping us here,” said Weichert. “We look forward to being active members of this community and contributing to the overall well-being of local residents and visitors alike. Thank you all so much for your support, and I’ll be here for all your health and wellness needs now, and into the future.”

Finnesterre adds partner, expands presence on Laneda Finnesterre, a Manzanita retailer of original works by local artists and artisans and fine home goods from around the world, announces a new partner and plans to expand. Terri Desaro opened Finnesterre in the summer of 2011 in a 1930s cottage on Laneda Ave., Manzanita’s “Main Street,” following an extensive renovation. Desaro has added a new partner in the business, Fred Kassab, a long-time friend and part-time Manzanitan, who recently retired from his pediatrics practice in Seattle. Along with a second proprietor, Finnesterre will soon gain a second display gallery as it expands into the former Bonfire building next door.

The pair are currently sourcing new inventory and expect to open that space sometime this spring. “Fred and I both have an appreciation for the unique and the finely crafted,” says Desaro, “and I am excited to have his selections broaden our offerings in style, scope and size as we take advantage of the additional, high-ceilinged space.” Kassab will begin working at the shop soon and looks forward to getting to know Finnesterre’s clientele. “Terri has created a must-stop shop for Manzanita visitors and residents alike,” said Kassab, adding that he considered opening a shop in Seattle but realized the appeal of working

with a friend whose vision he shared and strengthening his connection to Manzanita, where he has owned a home since 1999. Finnesterre is planning to open in its new, expanded form in early spring. Desaro and Kassab are hoping to have a grand opening event on Friday, March 28, with extended hours and refreshments. Finnesterre is located at 194 Laneda Ave., across from Manzanita Grocery and Deli. Winter days of operation vary, but the store is always open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Call ahead for hours of operation (503-368-8377) or check online at finnesterre.com or facebook.com/finnesterre.

Therapist expands practice to Manzanita By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Joe Rhinewine likes Manzanita; so much so, the highly sought after Portland area licensed clinical psychologist plans on getting to the small coastal community he has taken a liking to in recent years at least once a week. In establishing a foothold in Manzanita, Rhinewine, who grew up in Manhattan, the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City and has practiced in Portland the past seven years, says he wouldn’t mind maybe spending even more time here. “In summer 2010, I made the decision that I really wanted to spend more time here…maybe a lot more time. I grew up close to the sea and have always been intrigued with the possibilities smaller communities offer,” he said. His parents, who also moved west and settled in Portland, tipped him off about Manzanita. One visit to the area with his wife, he fell in love with the town and the couple established it as their vacation town. “Coming here reminded me of by upbringing and visits to upstate New York where my family had a

getaway…it was a simpler place in time and might help explain my fascination with the Manzanita area.” Earning his doctorate at Kent State, Rhinewine has been a licensed psychologist since 2006 and had provided therapy for 16 years. His first job upon moving to the Pacific Northwest was at the Children’s Farm Home in Corvallis. A year later, he started a practice in Lake Oswego and subsequently branched out to downtown Portland with the establishment of Portland Mindfulness, Inc., a clinic and educational center committed to providing top-quality, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, classes and coaching. “I want to get to know my client and the client’s values…what kind of life does this person want to lead and how are we going to get there,” said Rhinewine in explaining his approach to those who enlist his services. His expertise lies in his technique addressing anxiety and stress-related issues due to chronic fatigue, medical and work-related problems facing individuals. Rhinewine estimates that 40 percent of his clients’ issues are stress related; 30 percent medical, such as clinical de-

pression and anxiety issues, and the remainder everything else. He has treated all age groups from teenagers to those in their 80s and has done some couples’ counseling and family therapy. “I haven’t seen anyone in their 90s, though,” he said with a chuckle. Perhaps he will, one day. A devoted father of two and self-admitted extravert, Rhinewine, says he has a tendency of “thinking too big.” It’s during that time he finds the need to unwind and slow down a bit, which goes a long way in explaining why he loves Manzanita and the notion of “beach time.” He enjoys the outdoors, playing guitar, listening to and analyzing progressive rock, and cooking healthy and tasty food. Occasionally, he takes a stab at singing, but laments, “I wouldn’t call myself a singer.” Available in Manzanita on Mondays, those wishing to see him are advised to counsel with him first by phone. The 20-minute consultation by phone is free and serves as an opportunity for therapist and potential client to get to know each other. If Rhinewine believes he can be of service, a subsequent appointment will be made. However, if another profes-

So far, $11,722.00 has been raised with additional donations still trickling in. In all, 2,870 lengths (40 miles) were swam by 69 enthusiastic swimmers. In addition, there were 10 student participants who were not able to swim, but were kind enough to solicit donations towards our cause. This event raised funds to help keep the NCRD/ Nehalem Elementary School swim program afloat. All proceeds from the Pool-A-Thon go directly towards the School Swim Instruction & Water Safety Awareness Program, which impacts the lives of all students, kindergarten through 5th grade, as well as the adaptive swim students of

To the parents and families of these kids, we are truly appreciative for the time and energy you gave to your child throughout the Pool-A-Thon. Thanks for being the backbone of the fundraiser. You all are wonderful! An extended thank you to all the generous donors. By pledging a swimmer, you have validated the importance of this vital program, which enhances the lives of over 200 children.

who had his finger pulled off in an industrial accident. I quickly found out how it happened and paid special care around that piece of equipment. My job was to dump sacks of flour and other ingredients into huge mixers that produced the dough. One day, I decided to count the bags and that made me so tired I decided I didn’t want to do that any more. That company went out of business a few years later. I was living up on the Olympic Peninsula when I got a job as a “whistle punk” at a logging site. I had to buy my first pair of caulk boots and they cost about as much as a weeks work. It was back when the logs were pulled out of the woods by a donkey engine with cables strung from a spar tree. The guy called the “choker setter” would drag the cable to the tree that had been cut down. He would hook the choker to the log and then it was my job to sound the whistle telling the donkey operator to pull the log in. Dragging that electric cord around through the woods was quite a challenge and I was told at the outset that I had several people’s lives in my hands if I made the wrong whistle signal. I can still remember some of those guys’ names and often wonder how they spent the rest of their lives, or if some dumb kid had made a mis-

take. I can only imagine how much improved that logging process has become with modern communications and better equipment. Something I watched with great interest was one of the new machines they have now that cuts the tree down, limbs it, cuts it to the proper length, records the number of board feet in each log and even notes what kind of tree it was. A couple of things that still mystify me are the use of lead and asbestos. I remember recycling the lead toothpaste tubes during World War II. How come that lead didn’t kill us? Our homes were built with asbestos insulation on the heat and air ducts. I know that both of those materials have proven deadly and many have lost their lives. I guess the only difference would be in how they were used. I don’t think their mere presence is dangerous. Learning how to swim at an old mill site on Lake Washington without the benefit of parental supervision or even knowing what I was doing set the bar for survival. I remember the first time my mother saw me swimming and how surprised she was. I told her I had been practicing in the old copper boiler we had in the yard. I think she called those “white lies.” I am sure my own kids have a few secrets that I will never know, but that’s life.

Wheeler Community Garden seeking ‘renters’

In 2013, the City of Wheeler and interested garden volunteers established the Wheeler Community Garden located in the Upper Park. Eight raised bed plots were dug and built for use. A fence was constructed and water access made available. The garden produced lots of fresh food and fun. Most renters are returning in 2014

and new gardeners are invited to join in the garden expansion that will begin soon. The Wheeler Community Garden is organic only – no chemicals are used for fertilizing or pest control. All gardeners must be Wheeler residents. Gardeners must agree to follow Wheeler Community Garden policies and sign an annual rental contract with payment. Plots are 4 feet by 8 feet and rent for $20, plus a $10 refundable clean-up deposit. Because it is a community garden, renters also agree to contribute time to general upkeep of the entire garden, as well as their own plot. Space is limited and beds are given on a first come, first served basis. Interested? Please contact Joe Velkinburg at (503) 368-4283 or email wheelercitypw@nehalemtel.net. The deadline for renting plots is April 1. This will ensure that the expansion is needed and that enough gardeners are committed to do the work.

Interested in joining Kiwanis?

The Kiwanis Club of Manza-WheeLem, serving North Tillamook County, remains active.

Kiwanis launches “Dollars for Scholars” campaign

The Kiwanis Clubs of ManzaWhee-Lem and Tillamook have launched their annual “Dollars for Scholars” campaign to raise funds for graduating seniors from Tillamook County high schools. Club members are selling advertising time on Tillamook radio station KDEP-FM (105.5 FM) to be broadcast Saturday, Apr. 5 during a special allday Kiwanis radiothon. Contributions from businesses or individuals can advertise the business and/or express support for the graduates. Levels of support run from $30 to $500. The higher the donation, the more ads will be run during the radiothon. “This is a great program for the kids,” said Manza-Whee-Lem club president David Dillon. “Over the years, our communities have sent a lot of worthy graduates on to college with best wishes and financial support.” Individual businesses are being approached, but anyone else interested in donating can contact Manza-Whee-Lem club members David Dillon at dillond@nehalemtel. net or 503-368-6153, or John Coopersmith at jcoop71@gmail.com or 503-812-2052.

Cloud & Leaf to host writer Willy Vlautin in April

Writer Willy Vlautin plans to read from his latest novel, “The Free,” at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore next month. As with Vlautin’s previous novels, “The Free” is a story of the downtrodden prevailing, at least in spirit, despite the soul-sapping conditions they endure. Vlautin, who lives in Scappoose, is also a singer and songwriter with the Portland-based band Richmond Fontaine, which has produced nine studio albums since its founding in 1994. Born and raised in Reno, Nevada, he began playing guitar

and writing songs as a teenager. A Paul Kelly song based on Raymond Carver’s “Too Much Water So Close to Home”inspired him to write stories about struggling, working class characters. Later this year, his new band, the Delines, featuring vocalist Amy Boone of the Damnations, will release its debut album. Alan and Gabe Polsky directed a film adaptation of “The Motel Life,”which opened in theaters in November, and stars Emile Hirsch, Stephen Dorff, Dakota Fanning and Kris Kristofferson. Vlautin’s local appearance is scheduled for 7 p.m., Saturday, April 12 at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore, 148 Laneda Ave., Manzanita. You can reach Cloud & Leaf at (503) 368-BOOK.

Pool-A-Thon raises nearly $12,000

“It was a fantastic turnout for the 24th annual Pool-A-Thon,” said Sue DindiaGray, aquatics instructor at the North County Recreation District. The event, held February 22, attracted 69 swimmers who swam a total of 2,870 lengths, the equivalent of 40 miles, and raised nearly $12,000 with donations still coming in. In addition, 10 students, who were not available to swim, participated by collecting donations or pledges for the cause, Gray noted. Money raised helps support the NCRD/Nehalem Elementary swim program. The enthusiasm and excitement spread throughout the natatorium was evident in the faces of the participants and their outstanding accomplishment as one can see in the accompanying photos. All participants enjoyed a party and free swim on March 1, to celebrate their achievement.

couldn’t do all the trainings and meetings required by the district and national organization,” said club president Laura Swanson. In the end, the membership numbers had dwindled to eight or ten with only half of those active, according to Swanson, who has been a Rotary member for four years. “I like everything about Rotary – its mission and our local projects. What we did locally really kept me involved,” Swanson said. Among the local projects taken on by the club were the annual Coho Salmon Harvest benefitting Tillamook County food banks, the Fourth of July fireworks booth in Manzanita, which club members operated as a fundraiser, and the dictionary/thesaurus program in which Nehalem Grade School fourth and fifth graders each received a dictionary and thesaurus provided by Rotary. Though Rotary will be no more in north Tillamook County, Swanson said the projects associated with the local chapter will be passed off to other local civic organizations and members wishing to maintain their membership in Rotary can join either the Seaside or Tillamook chapters. Aside from a decline in membership, Swanson noted that the national organization’s dues structure was another drawback for the fledgling club, while members were stretched thin with other activities. “Nearly every member could name three or four other organizations or ac-

Laura Swanson tivities they were involved with,” she noted. Looking to disperse funds still at its disposal, the Rotary Club of North Tillamook County, in one of its final acts, has initiated a “Blaze of Glory” final grant program in which it will issue grants to local nonprofit groups, schools, churches, and other

charitable organizations. Multiple grant awards will be made, to a maximum grant amount per project/ organization of $1,000. Being a registered 501(c)3 organization is not required for this grant, but project/ organization should have local community benefit and/or nonprofit mission. To acquire an application for a grant, contact Swanson at laura@ nehalemtel.net or at (503) 368-3688, or Lloyd Seely at lseely@nehalemtel.net or at (503) 368-6010 application. A brief description of need, scope of project, and basic budget is required for grant consideration. Applications and information is due no later H20918 Oregonian 1x1 092111:L than April 3.

Storytelling, dancing, and drumming set the tone for the day. A beautiful altar was the focal point for this portion of the day. “Lane de Moll, Maia Holiday, Lynda Chick, Kathleen Moore and Barbara McLaughlin did a wonderful job of setting the tone for the entire day,” said Gray. A brainstorming group followed in the kitchen with local leaders Tom Bender, Anthony Stoppiello, Victoria Stoppiello, Michael Hithe, Dana Cunningham Andersen, Joyce Cochran, Dale Cramer Burr and Georgenne Ferdun, who have spent years working to help heal the problems facing the Earth, sharing ideas, methods, and hopes for solving the ecological and social challenges faced by all. This portion of the day was facilitated by Gary Seelig and the final round gave an opportunity for everyone in attendance to present solutions ranging from being aware of the effects of all of our actions to the type of soap we use. Later, from 6-7 p.m., the Tikkun Olam Art Show opened. Many artists representing Tillamook and Clatsop counties are showing work in the NCRD Gallery through the month of March. A wide range of two and three dimensional art created on the theme of healing the Earth is for sale and may be purchased by calling Gray at (503) 368-3739 or through Steven Turnsen at the NCRD office. Ten percent of the sale price of the art will go to the Lower Nehalem Community Trust and 10 percent to CARTM as those organizations’ efforts help to repair the world. The performances, which closed the evening, were also focused on healing the Earth, respecting each other, and building community. Beginning with a song by children from Mama Mia’s daycare, and including readings by Sharla Smith, Liz Cole, Linda Olson, and Maia Holiday, with a dance by Rosa Erlebach, juggling and song by Sierra Gjerde who was accompanied by John Freethy, and musical offerings from Maia Holiday, Joe Wrabek, Jane Duncan and Russ Hosley, as well as musical groups The Rhythm Method and The Sedona Fire Band. “As I worked on creating an art show on the Tikkun Olam theme, the project grew as others found out what I was doing. Other artists wanted to be represented, and conversation became a critical element,” said Gray, who looks forward to helping stage the event again next year. “The day was full and a rich example of the power

Turmeric, the super hero in an orange flowing cape

maintains the blood pressure at a health level. Since it has great anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to protect the circulatory system from the ravages of atherosclerosis and blood clots. Curcumin has also been tested on folks that suffer from depression with surprisingly great results and give Prozac a run for its money. And, these are just some of its attributes. Yes, turmeric is a super hero in an orange flowing cape. There are two great ways of getting the perks of turmeric, one is in a capsule and the other to cook with it. Dr Andrew Weil says, “To get the full benefit of turmeric it is

recommended that you take 200 milligrams, available in capsules, every day. If you have an inflammatory condition like arthritis, tendonitis or bursitis, take it three times a day. Whole turmeric is more effective than isolated curcumin. Be patient when taking turmeric, the full benefit takes two months to develop. Do not use turmeric if you have gallstones or bile ducts dysfunction.” Turmeric is powerful enough that you can get a good medicinal dose by cooking with it. The fresh

turmeric tuber is a shock to cut open and see that bright orange color and more of a shock to see it stain your hands and anything else it comes into contact with! (It even stained my stainless steel grater a little.) Now I know why it is so good for us, it is a vibrant food, indeed. I recommend using a designated cutting board and rubber gloves when handling it. Great ways to cook with fresh turmeric is to finely grate a bit and add to your smoothies, (I add it to our green smoothies everyday) scrambled eggs, rice, soup, stews, curries and marinades. We’ve been added it to everything lately and it adds a playful color and

delicate flavor. The fresh turmeric does not have the bitter edge that the dried powder has so have fun with it. Today’s recipe, featuring turmeric, is certainly an Asian fusion dish. It requires a marinade overnight for the full flavor to develop, but I have roasted the chicken before after only a few hours in the marinade and it was still very good. Make some turmeric rice to serve with it by adding one tablespoon of finely grated turmeric, one tablespoon of soy sauce and 1:2 ration of coconut milk to water. It is the most beautiful delicious and healthy rice to enjoy. To your health and happiness!
