ockaway Beach has the newest Little League baseball field in the county after a large volunteer and community effort has worked to breathe new life into a dilapidated field just south of the Neah-Kah-Nie School District building. Neah-Kah-Nie School District superintendent, Paul Erlebach said “the field was this unused piece of property, and Scott Ernst approached the school board to create a dream field.” As the Neah-Kah-Nie Youth Athletics President, Ernst, saw an opportunity to create a

lamook YMCA’s Little League, parents have had to make a sometimes lengthy commute for games, but now Rockaway Beach can host games at the new field. “We now have one of the best little league fields south of Seaside,” said Isbell, proud to now have a field that will foster growth for the community’s baseball program. “We have the support of Neah-Kah-Nie’s head baseball coach, Rob Herder,” Isbell said, “we want to help these kids develop because we have kids learning the fundamentals of baseball when they get into

field appropriate for little league baseball players, according to John Isbell, board member and treasurer of the Mudd Nick Foundation and Treasurer for Neah-Kah-Nie Youth Athletics Association. “The kids are having to practice on 45 foot base paths and no pitchers mound,” Isbell said, referencing the fact that the little league has had to practice on the softball field. Due to scheduling conflicts on the usage of the field, as well as the physical differences between a softball and little league field, has made practicing difficult, according to Isbell. Being affiliated with Til-
ith an impending change in the schedule, Nehalem Elementary School’s Swim and Safety Program at NCRD will remain, not only as part of the standard school day, but also identical duration and frequency, next academic year, according to Paul Erlebach, Superintendent of the NeahKah-Nie School District. Following the implementation of an uninterrupted 90-minute literacy block, the school district and NCRD will reevaluate the schedule for swim lessons Erlebach, told the Citizen. “After analyzing the many brainstorming options for swim lessons, Neah-Kah-Nie School District staff, NCRD staff, along with parent input, clearly decided the only viable option is to continue with swim lessons during the school day,” he said. Erlebach also reiterated the mutual goal for the school district and NCRD is a weekly 30-minute swim lesson for all students. The literacy block, Erlebach says “just means it is the highest priority for the school district,” and is set to combat District reading scores at grades three, four and five that do no meet school administration and Board expectations.
eah-Kah-Nie School District officials know if you or your child stayed in college. At least, if you graduated in the class of 2008 through the class of 2015. On Monday night, during the Regular School Board Meeting, Dr. Heidi Buckmaster, Principal of Neah-Kah-Nie High School, presented data on college enrollment, graduation and persistence rates for students continuing their education. Buckmaster said “This data says what students are doing, but data doesn’t tell us why,” referring to
the reasons Neah-Kah-Nie alumni drop out of college or stay in school until they graduate. The data comes from National Student Clearinghouse, an organization that offers information to school districts on their students who pursue a college education. Buckmaster said that of the graduating class of 2008, 39 percent went to college directly following high school, 88 percent of the students who originally went stayed past their first year, and within a six-year pe-
riod, 16 percent obtained their diploma. However, Buckmaster noted that for every single class NeahKah-Nie School District
has data on, the percentage of students enrolled in college increased after the first year. Some students
appear to take a year off between high school and college. The class of 2009 had a college enrollment of 33 percent for their first year after high school, but during the second year increased to 49 percent of their graduating class. According to Buckmaster, 85 percent of the graduating class of 2013 reported that they would be going to college in the fall, however, only 55 percent of the graduating class went to college their first year out of high school. Buckmaster says she is curious how these trends compare at the state and
national levels. A shift in ideals and beliefs about studying at a four-year college not necessarily guaranteeing a good job or comfortable life, she added, may be one of the reasons there have been declines in college enrollment.
Following are percentages of NKN students by class who attend college after high school graduation: • 2008 - 39 percent • 2009 - 33 percent • 2010 - 67 percent • 2011 - 52 percent • 2012 - 55 percent • 2013 - 55 percent • 2014 - 50 percent • 2015 - 38 percent

high school.” The new field has been in development for two years and is the product of community support and donations of time, money and equipment. In particular, Isbell said he is quite thankful for those in the community who lent large pieces of equipment, like tractors. Isbell shared that 2015 was when outfield work and fundraising began. So far, $20,000 has been raised in private donations, a Lions Club chili feed and silent auction, funds from the City of Rockaway Beach, and supplies from both Manzanita Lumber and Rosenburg Builders Supply. Finishing touches are currently being added. One such addition that will be added in the near future is the dugouts, which will be built by NeahKah-Nie High School’s wood shop class, with donated materials. According to Erlebach, “this baseball field will provide countless hours of enjoyment for youth.” The Neah-Kah-Nie Youth Baseball Field is located behind the Neah-Kah-Nie School District building on 504 North Third Avenue in Rockaway Beach.

“Literacy is vital,” Erlebach said. “It’s demonstrated by our active libraries and fantastic community support for these programs.” Erlebach answered questions at a special meeting on April 5 regarding the future of the swim program where he saw parents that were passionate about both the swim program and literacy. “Any time we get parents involved, it creates a healthy environment and brings people
together to problem-solve and find creative solutions,” he said. NCRD interim General Manager Barb McCann said that NCRD is flexible in clearing out times for the school to do their lessons. “It is our mission, NCRD’s mission to teach every child in our community how to swim,” she said “I’ve been here since the beginning and am aware of so many positive effects on the kids.” McCann noted aside from a curriculum focused one-third on water safety, the students build confidence and strong muscles, and also a sense of community service, through
their involvement with the annual Pool-a-Thon. In a recent success report for the program, Sue DindiaGray, NCRD Aquatics Program Manager said, “It is evident that the impressive success rate of the program is a direct result due to the consistency of weekly swim class,” which is between 34-36 classes per school year for six years. Erlebach said no contract has been signed yet, but will be once it is ready, “NCRD and Neah-Kah-Nie School District staff are currently collaborating to ensure the swim program’s legacy continues for the next generation of swimmers,” Erlebach added.
In Stitches sewing group create prayer shawls The Warm Welcome Daytime Drop-In Center in Nehalem was a “warm” location for the In Stitches sewing group of the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church. Ladies (or gentlemen) who love to knit, crochet, needlepoint or any other hand craft hobby, get together once a month to work on projects and get caught up on what’s going on in the lives of the folks in the group.
There were eight ladies in attendance. Many worked on Prayer Shawls that are given to shut ins or folks in the hospital or recovering at home. The shawls are blessed and prayed over during the making of them and also during a Sunday morning worship service. The shawls carry the prayers of the makers and the entire congregation and are a comfort to the ones who receive them as they wrap them-
selves in prayers. The Warm Welcome Center was the perfect place for the group as it is intended to be a warm and homey place to gather. We encourage travelers, homeless and anyone in the community to stop by for a cup of coffee and a snack on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., located in the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church basement on 10th Street just off Hwy 101.
Local governments addressing area preparedness By David Dillon Elected and appointed officials from throughout north Tillamook County gathered Mar. 21 at the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District station for a summit meeting to discuss community-wide emergency preparedness. The summit was called in response to the results of a regional readiness survey conducted in 2015 by the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay. The detailed survey, conducted online or faceto-face with nearly 500 households, revealed that only 14% of them felt they were well prepared for any emergency. Brian McMahon, Public Information Officer for the Northwest Incident Management Team, was the featured speaker for the gathering. That team responded to the Mar. 22, 2014 Oso, Wash. landslide which killed 43 people. McMahon discussed the Oso incident with photos, videos, and lists of “lessons learned” by emergency responders and the government
agencies involved. Of particular importance, he said, was advance planning done by cities and agencies, and positive relationships established between those organizations. “Building a resilient Nehalem Bay/North County requires the involvement of the whole community – including government and agencies - working together to increase individual and community preparedness,” said Linda Kozlowski, president of the Emergency Volunteer Corps, which hosted the gathering. “Our community will only be fully prepared when each household and neighborhood is prepared, we have trained volunteers ready to respond, and we have drilled and practiced to verify our preparedness,” she added. The Mar. 21 summit ended with the participants agreeing to complete an assessment of their own preparedness, and to gather again in May to report results. The summit attendees included: Manza-
nita – Garry Bullard, Mayor; Jerry Taylor, City Manager; Dan Weitzel, Public Works Director; Erik Harth, Chief of Police; Nehalem – Dale Shafer, City Manager; Wheeler – Stevie Burden, Mayor; Geoff Wulschlager, City Manager; Heidi Wilcox Siglin, Councilor; Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue – Perry Sherbaugh, Chief; Walt Covert, Board Chair; Bob Forrester, Board; Chuck Bridge, Board; Nehalem Bay State Park – Gary McDaniel; Nehalem Bay Wastewater Agency – John Handler, Board; Zaddach Creek Water District – Ted Wendell, Board Chair; Rinehart Clinic – Marge Jozsa, CEO; Adventist Medical Center – Eric Swanson; Red Cross – Malachai Hindle; and the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay – Linda Kozlowski, President; Peter Nunn, Vice President, Betsy Chase, facilitator.

Commentary
One ring-dingy now and then! little over 30 years A ago my wife and I decided to build a home. In
the beginning the plan was to make it small and a place where we could enjoy the fishing and other activities that go along with week end and summer living on the coast. With a lot of other activities and travel It was a slow process and by the time it was all finished we had decided to sell the big house in Portland and make this our home base. I think what happened was I caught a 40 lb salmon and my fate was sealed. Having all the fresh crabs and clams that we could eat was another factor. Since I was an old telephone person I made sure that the new house was wired so there was a phone in every room and in the adjacent pole barn garage and shop building. When I was working
on the place it was pretty handy when there was a call. For the time it was overkill but staying in touch with family and all the people we worked with in the Lions Club and other activities was pretty important. This was a bit past the time when they came out with those walk around telephones that became popular. The first one we had was guaranteed to work up to 150 feet and that was a bit of a stretch. I seem to remember returning it because it just didn’t work very well. Who could imagine we would ever see what has happened in the phone world. After retirement I ran across some old telephone company friends who had made some decisions that came back to bite them. The phone companies were selling their pay phone stations to investors who
The Old Geezer Walt Trandum would in turn service them and collect the money. We all know what happened to most of those and I even saw one pictured as a rare sight place on the internet. All this phone chatter
brings me to the point that I intended to make with this little story. Old age has finally brought me to realize that life can go on without all that chatter on the phone. Most of the people we worked and played with in the past have all gone away and the calls we do receive are from family members checking up on us. Once in a great while I do get a phone call from an old friend who calls to see if I noticed the obituary of one of our mutual acquaintances. Not too many of the people I know who are still around do much with a computer and they must be much more lonesome than I have been feeling. When I do have a conversation with someone we always end up discussing health issues. The most exciting ones are when we find out that we share a malady or

tions in some other part of the country. So being lonely is a bad part of getting old , but we did have a pleasant surprise a couple weeks ago when we were having our weekly restaurant dinner. When I asked for the check the waitress told me that somebody had picked it up and our dinner was free. What a nice feeling to know that someone exercised that act of kindness. That was the first time anything like that ever happened so there are still some good people that didn’t even ask us to vote for them! So here we are surrounded by telephones and even the one in a pocket that seldom ring and maybe that is a good thing. We don’t have to worry about something we might be asked to do when we are not so busy!

I guess that is the one thing over and above the health and financial planning that got us this far, that was never discussed. We used to play cribbage every evening and that is no longer possible so television is our main source of both entertainment and information. If you are full time participant the repetition of programs is pretty maddening. The commercials are the worst and you find yourself mouthing the words before the actors can get them out.

Letter to the Editor
Kids need swim program T
here is a lot of unrest in the community about the Nehalem school swim program. Rumors are flying fast and furiously, and parents are concerned. I went to a pubic meeting Tuesday evening 4/5/16 with Paul Ehrlebach, school superintendent; Christy Woika, Nehalem grade school principal; 2 members of the school board; and 2 NCRD staff. Neahkahnie School District administration is concerned about low literacy scores of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. They want an uninterrupted 90-minute “literacy block” that is difficult to schedule with all the other requirements needing to be met. So one consideration would shove
the school swim program off to the side and it would possibly not happen during school hours. Another possible consideration is that the school swim program might shrink to once a month, rather than once a week. My suggestion, which I made at the meeting, is that the 90-minute literacy block occur 4 days out of five, and the school swim continue uninterrupted one day a week. Right now there is not one uninterrupted 90-minute block for literacy. Would not four days out of five, for nine months, be enough to help bring those scores up? We need to remember all the testimonials from teachers and parents about the positive effects that swimming has
on learning. We need to remember that we have the oldest continually-operating school swim program in the country. We need to remember that we live in land interlaced and bordered by water-rivers, creeks, lakes, bay, the ocean, and yet, not one local child has drowned in those 80+ years of weekly school swim lessons. Further, lives have been saved from drowning by residents who grew up here and learned to swim in the Nehalem grade school swim program.

Ben Killen Rosenberg to host exhibition and opening reception of his art show ‘Continuum’ con•tin•u•um: noun, a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct. Ben Killen Rosenberg has been recording dead birds and decomposing wildlife over the last five years of exploring the beach stretching south of Neahkahnie Mountain to the jetty outside Manzanita. On his walks there he documents the organic material subjects that have become, in ink and watercolor, the focus of this show. Rosenberg describes the harsh beauty of death that requires looking deeply to accept. By documenting in drawing and painting both his mother’s and uncle’s changing bodies as they slid from the world, the artist came to see what his mother had long understood—death
is a natural part of life. It’s an obvious statement, but Rosenberg says it was his mother’s own curiosity about what was happening to her as she was dying that allowed the space for his own curiosity to exist. After her death, he says, “I began to notice the birds.” On Christmas Eve in 2014 he found the beach littered with the bodies of hundreds of Common Murres. They were “dead from starvation, dead from the warm waters off the coast, and for other reasons left for scientists to study.” Rosenberg says one might simply walk past the remains of a washed up bird or birds, step over them, and go about daily life, but that this mass die-off of Common Murres, Casein Auklets, and Brown Pelicans was impossible for him to ignore. The birds seem banal
at first glance but what intrigued Rosenberg were the compositions created by their bodies and their abstract beauty as they lay on the sand, surrounded by driftwood and washed up debris. Their positions, he says, and the play of light and shadow on form and the stark beauty of death forced him to take notice. He became like an urban archeologist, viewing the birds as fragments of unintentional design and seeing himself as a participant in an unspoken conversation. The resulting body of work, he says, is about the transition between life and death, embracing the whole of the journey, and not looking away. Ben Killen Rosenberg received his BFA in printmaking from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 1988 and his MFA in studio arts from PSU in 2007. He teaches at
Clark College in Vancouver and has previously taught at Clatsop Community College in Astoria, PCC, PSU, Clackamas Community College, and University of Portland. His illustration work has been commissioned by The Portland Tribune, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Oregonian, Johns Hopkins University, Internal Revenue Service, Hewlett-Packard, and the Philadelphia Daily News. Rosenberg’s work is in numerous private collections nationally and abroad, and may be seen at www. benkillenrosenberg.com and www.benrosenbergillustration.com

Word & Image opens for submissions Submissions opened April 1 for Word & Image, a summer exhibit at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita which will pair artists and writers to create original work, each in response to the other’s. Word & Image will offer up to 12 selected artists and writers a unique creative experience, one that co-organizers Deborah DeWit and Emily Ransdell call “silent collaboration.” “We piloted this project last summer,” Ransdell explained. “Writing in response to art has been popular for centuries — we thought it would be fun for artists to have their turn as well, creating art in response to writing.” Co-organizer DeWit
added, “It turned out to be a great experience for the participants. Unlike a more typical themed show, the concept of response art and writing enabled each participant to both showcase their own personal style and to connect with others through interpreting each other’s work. People explored new mediums and methods with wonderful results.” Ransdell said that the project began as a spin-off of the Hoffman’s weekly Writer’s Lounge, where writers are invited to create short pieces in response to various prompts, often resulting in work that surprises the authors themselves. Last sum-
mer’s call for submissions to Word and Image was so successful that Ransdell and DeWit will be jurying the entries this year via a blind submission process.
in our area.” The Hoffman’s Word and Image project is open to all artists and writers who live on the north Oregon coast or have a strong connection
“By limiting participants to 12 writers and artists, we can make sure we give all the participants the space and time for their work to be represented well,” DeWit said. “And we want the community participation to be as broad and diverse as possible. There is so much talent
to the area. Submissions will be accepted from April 1 through May 1. Selected artists and writers will be paired at a kick-off gathering on June 4, with the resulting new work for the Word and Image exhibit due from each artist and writer by July 25. An opening reception
and reading will be held at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita on August 20. For further submission details, visit http://hoffmanblog.org/word-image. Participants will be selected by a Hoffman team, led by Ransdell and DeWit. Ransdell is a poet with an MFA in Creative Writing. A past recipient of an American Academy of Poets Prize, she is currently a member of The Poet’s Studio at The Attic Institute in Portland. She divides her time between Manzanita and Camas, Washington. DeWit, a full-time painter and photographer for 35 years, has exhibited widely.
Her work is included in many private and public collections throughout the Pacific Northwest. She is also a published author, with three books in publication and is the subject of a documentary, “Wetlands: Seasons of Mind” about her painting and its relationship with the natural world. Currently she exhibits with Whitebird Gallery in Cannon Beach and Rowboat Gallery in Pacific City. She lives with her husband, filmmaker Carl Vandervoort, in Wheeler. This project is supported in part by a grant from The Oregon Cultural Trust: Oregonians sustaining, developing and participating in our arts, heritage and humanities.

Police Museum gets the boot The International Police Museum, the newest attraction for locals and tourists in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, has officially gotten the boot. Tossed out? No. Ed Wortman, the executive director of the museum, recently put on display the museum’s newest acquisition - an “Oregon Boot”, more properly known as the
Gardner Shackle. The boot was created by J. C Gardner, the warden of the Oregon State Penitentiary in 1866. Wortman invites everyone to the museum to see not only the “Oregon Boot”, but the other rotating exhibits offered by the museum, located next to the Rockaway Beach Police Department on Highway 101.

Pirates sweep Falcons to even NWL record By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net
After an 0-3 start to the Northwest League season at the hands of the defending state champions, the Pirates made a turnaround. And Faith Bible became the victims of the Neah-Kah-Nie resurgence on the diamond. Neah-Kah-Nie won
three straight league games to even the league record at 3-3 and move the team into a tie for third place in the standings with Gaston. The Greyhounds started out with a 3-0 league record before dropping three straight to Knappa and fell into the tie for third in the standings. For coach Rob Herder,
it was another sign the team is growing. “We are a long ways away from an impressive record. We played the highest competition we could schedule,” he said, adding that the challenging strategem is starting to pay dividends. The Pirates (4-9 overall) had taken a 3-1 triumph on the road Tuesday, then blew the

Falcons away in the first game by a 14-4 margin. The bats were lively in the first game, with Herder praising Bryce Bridge and others for pounding out an early lead that enabled Herder to pull starter Coby Hixon after three innings. The final win in the three-game sweep of the Falcons proved to be

much tougher. The Pirates were chasing the Falcons for most of the second game after the visitors grabbed a 3-0 lead. And they were facing the Falcons’ top thrower. That happened Friday when Eammon Kelly took the mound for the Falcons. The first time the Pirates saw him Tuesday, the pitcher gave the team fits, Herder said. “He kept the ball away and we just kept getting ground balls.
That first game, he made life really difficult on us. “They did pull him after five innings so we suspected we’d see him again.” They did in the second game. “He was able to keep parts of our lineup down. But the nice thing is that the second time you see a pitcher you are a little more equipped to handle him. “We put eight on him today,” the coach said.

Spring has sprung and so has the green garlic
The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia
“
Until recently, green garlic never appeared in the market and was largely unrecognized by cooks.” Alice Waters
T
hings are beginning to look up; I reek like garlic and it is 77 degrees. Sunny warm and my kitchen smells like garlic. Things couldn’t be better. Walking around my yard earlier this week, I noticed this unseasonable warm weather has made my garlic patch grow like crazy! I grabbed the shovel and began to dig up green garlic, which is the immature garlic before it bulbs. This stuff is a treasure and the season is fleeting! Green garlic has the sleek seductive look of a spring onion and has a springy, mellow garlic flavor. It is all the rage in the gourmet world. Any dish will simply sing with green garlic chopped up and added to it. Green garlic is amazing chopped up in stir fries, steamed, roasted and my favorite, grilled. They are actually good in anything you would add garlic to but have a much milder flavor
n Baseball Continued from Page A9 “They took three from us last year, so we are just returning the favor,” Herder explained. Still, it wasn’t until the sixth inning that the Pirates were able to overcome the Falcons on the scoreboard. One of the clutch hits was a two-run double by
so it’s hard to overuse. (Imagine green onions that taste like garlic.) Later on this spring the garlic will start to send up blossoms called “scapes” in the garlic world. (Don’t ask me why, I simply do not know) The scape is the stem and flower of the garlic. They are tender and delicious if you pluck them off when they first begin to shoot up. It is also extremely important to remove the scape if you want the garlic to put all its energy into the blub, opposed to the flower. Which, we most definitely do! Green garlic and garlic scapes can be used interchangeably with each other and they have all the same stellar nutritional benefits of mature garlic cloves. Garlic has been known to keep everything from the common cold to vampires at bay. Green garlic also is a good source of Calcium, Phosphorous, and Selenium, and a very good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Manganese. The only bad thing about all this is that it is hard to find garlic scapes and green garlic, unless you have a garlic patch close by. But I have found that Mother Nature’s and North Fork 53 farm store are carrying green garlic right now. Yeah! Do yourselves a favor and experiment with the other scrumptious parts of the garlic plant that usually go unheralded. But don’t tarry as the season flies by and soon we have good old garlic blubs instead of the tender green garlic. A scrumptious way to use green garlic is to make pesto with it. You can use the pesto on anything you would normally use basil pesto on and woo hoo! It’s a ride! Tonight I made both garlic scape pesto and spring green garlic soup. So, now you see why I reek of garlic? Yup, everything is beginning to look up and spring has finally sprung.
Cameron Kelly. But Kelly also found himself in a unique position, having to return to third base after scoring because the Faith Bible pitcher had been called for a balk while Kelly was stealing third and then went home on an overthrow. Still, the Pirates were able to pull out the win and will be facing a tough Vernonia squad. The 12thranked Loggers hosted Neah-Kah-Nie Tuesday, then come to Rockaway

until blended. Taste and adjust seasonings. Put on everything you can think of, except maybe chocolate.
2 cups of green garlic or garlic scapes, chopped into 2-inch pieces 1/4 cup hazelnuts chopped fine or pine nuts 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup warm water 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Drop the green garlic through the food chute with food processor on; process until minced. Place next 4 ingredients (nuts through pepper) in processor; process till everything is well mixed and fragrant. Combine water and oil in a measuring cup. (oil and water do mix sometimes!) With the food processor on, slowly pour oil mixture through food chute, processing just Beach for a doubleheader. Vernonia entered the week tied with Knappa, both with 6-0 league records. In other action, Nestucca picked up a 12-2 win over Country Christian last week before dropping two to Portland Christian (8-6, 8-5). The Bobcats (0-3) returned to NWL play Tuesday with a home game against Faith Bible (0-3, 0-8), then travel Friday.
Spring Green Garlic Soup 3 tablespoons of butter 6 fat stocks of green garlic, minced 1 – 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme 1 -2 teaspoons of fresh parsley 1 quart of chicken or vegetable stock 3 – 4 plump new boiling potatoes 1 cup of sour cream 1 tablespoon of cornstarch 2 teaspoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice Fresh grated nutmeg to garnish ½ - 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, to taste About 5 cranks of fresh cracked pepper to taste Heat up your favorite soup pot and melt the butter in it over medium high heat. Add the green garlic and sauté until
translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Put in the herbs and sauté for a few more minutes. Next add the broth and the potatoes and reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 20 minutes till everything is nice and tender. Carefully take half the soup and blend till kind of chunky smooth, if you know what I mean. (An immersion blender is great right about here, but that is one kitchen gadget I don’t have.) Mix the blended portion back into the soup. Stir the cornstarch into the cup of sour cream till smooth and add to the simmering soup. Mix in really well and simmer for a few minutes till everything begins to get thick and creamy. Season with the lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes longer while stirring here and there. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and grate some fresh nutmeg on each bowl of soup and serve up hot.
