LANEDA AVENUE PROJECT ON TRACK By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Despite the mess and inconvenience, the Laneda Ave. project, which has effectively closed Manzanita’s main street to traffic from Hwy 101 to Division St., is progressing well, according to city officials. “It’s going pretty well,” said Manzanita Public Works director Bret Siler, noting that the installation of the water line is currently underway which caused a couple of two-hour water outages on Monday and Tuesday of this week as crews cut and capped existing lines. Sanitary and storm sewer lines have been completed and Nehalem RTI is finishing up its work on its underground communication lines this week. Once the water and telephone lines are completed, grading will begin for the sidewalk and roadway. “Were looking at forming up the sidewalks in a couple of weeks,” Siler told the Citizen. “So far, there have been no major interruptions.” “On the whole, the general public has not complained very much, although we know that the project creates inconvenience for many people,” said Jerry Taylor, Manzanita’s city manager. “I think we have been mostly successful in directing traffic around the construction zone without getting people lost. But ultimately, we are trying to help the contractor get in,

Of the three businesses on Laneda Ave. in the construction zone, Manzanita Lumber, because it is a retail outlet, has been affected the most and has seen a drop in business. Further down the street, it has been pretty much business as usual for Columbia Bank and Coast Cabins. Photo by Dave Fisher get the project done, and get out as soon as possible.” That’s good news for the three businesses located in the construction area that remain open and are accessible, but are looking forward to seeing Laneda put back together again. “It’s always a pain, and there’s concern that some businesses may have lost some business, particularly from tourists,” Siler concedes. “Locals know they’re open, however.”

While it has been pretty much business as usual at Columbia Bank and Coast Cabins because of the nature of their business, Manzanita Lumber, the only retailer directly affect has noticed a drop in its day-to-day walkin traffic. “It has had an effect,” said owner Dave Stephens. “It’s hard to put a number on it. We’ve been working with customers and suppliers to get them in and out. There’s even a sign (on the street bar-

ricade) that says we’re open, but our daily walk-in traffic has definitely dropped. Parking, says Stephens, has been an issue and his next-door neighbor Brian Williams, owner of the Big Wave Café, has allowed lumberyard customers to park in his lot to help the situation. Patty Schlip, branch manager of Columbia Bank, says the bank hasn’t noticed any drop off. “We’ve actually been pretty busy. People have been able to access us

through the back way with the detour. Everyone will be glad when it’s finished, but it will really be nice to have the sidewalk for increased safety and that will connect us with downtown.” In an effort to keep the public informed on construction progress, the city has made every effort to keep in close communication with affected businesses and residents along Laneda within the construction area. “They have shown a lot of patience, which we appreciate,” noted Taylor. “We have tried to address problems that have arisen as soon as possible. Our Monday morning updates with the contractor have been a good way to address issues as they have come up. They are held Mondays at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall and the public is invited to attend.” Meanwhile, Laneda Ave. remains closed to through traffic, including pedestrian foot traffic, from Hwy 101 to Division Street. The Classic St. / Laneda Ave. intersection is also closed now to north and south bound traffic on Classic St. Local access is still available to those that need it within these two blocks, says Siler. Barring any unforeseen hiccups, the 90-day contracted project, which commenced March 7, will be wrapped up by June 10, and, perhaps even by the end of May.

Wheeler looks to acquire parcel for park

The city hopes the second time is a charm in acquiring property for Bott’s Marsh Park By Dave Fisher The Citizen

In an ongoing effort to acquire a 6.78 parcel of land known to locals as the “upland property” adjacent to Bott’s Marsh, the City of Wheeler has once again, with the blessing of property owners John Jelineo and Vern Scovell, applied for an Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) Acquisition Grant. Last year, at about this same time, Wheeler applied to for a similar grant with the state agency

and came tantalizingly close to receiving it. OPRD ended up approving 25 applications received last year for grants, with Wheeler coming in at number 27, a matter of “close, but no cigar.” Approached by the current owners in the past couple of months whether or not the city was still interested in acquiring the property, the city’s response was “yes” and now it finds itself in a race against time to submit its application by the April deadline, though it does have more time to address its portion of the funding to seal the deal should it obtain approval from OPRD. In the meantime, city officials are working on a three-prong ap-

Rinehart Clinic CEO to retire Ellen Boggs, who has been the chief executive officer of the Rinehart Clinic, announced her planned retirement in a joint statement to the staff and Board of Directors on Wednesday. Boggs, who has been in the position for more than seven years, has set her final date as June 30. “I really hate to see Ellen go, but understand that she has earned a welldeserved retirement,” said Rinehart Board president John Sorenson. “ The progress that the Clinic has made under Ellen’s watch is phenomenal. The increased level of professionalism has been astounding, and the increase in the scope of what we do here is impressive. She has added many programs that serve the patients of the Clinic, and marshaled the Clinic through the many changes in health care we’ve seen in recent years, and overseen a substantial increase in staff and providers. Ellen will be missed greatly, and we wish her nothing but good in the future.” Sue Remy, vice president of the Board, said, “The Clinic was very fortunate to coax Ellen out of retirement when she moved to the coast after retiring from many years as a school department administrator in Vancouver, Washington. The expertise she brought with her has served the Clinic well.” Sorenson said that he will appoint a committee to begin the search for

CARTM asks, ‘Why target us?’

Five destructive robberies at CARTM over last nine months Including E-Edition

Ellen Boggs, CEO of the Rinehart Clinic,plans to retire the end of June after seven years.

The rash of car break-ins during Spring Break several weeks ago also alerted the community to a spate of robberies at CARTM. On Sunday, Mar. 30 or early Monday, Mar. 31, yet another break-in occurred at CARTM. “Since last June, we’ve been hit five times,” said CARTM executive director Jan Hamilton. “We are being targeted. Everyone, staff, volunteers and our customers are baffled about why someone would do this to such a beloved nonprofit

that does so much good for the community. We feel so violated, and there seems to be a pattern. It’s so disappointing that it appears to be someone that knows us.” CARTM has taken measures to prevent and protect itself from these attacks, which have included destroying entrance doors, breaking windows, smashing cash registers and file cabinets, in addition to stealing money and other valuables. “We installed security cameras. The suspect seemed to know this and covered his face during subsequent robberies,” said Hamilton. “We do not keep cash on premises after hours, we lock up and secure any valuables now in ways we didn’t before.”

Big Wave to host ‘Springtime on the Oregon Coast’

Rinehart benefit dinner to feature internationally renowned celebrity chef

It isn’t every day that a Certified Master Chef prepares dinner in north Tillamook County. However, Tuesday, May 6 is that day. At 6 p.m. that evening, internationally renowned celebrity Chef Roland Henin will prepare a Springtime on the Oregon Coast Dinner made with local ingredients, with proceeds benefitting the Rinehart Clinic. “This is a rare opportunity for lovers of fine food to experience a multi-course meal prepared by a culinary virtuoso,” said Brian Williams, who, with wife Carol Williams, owns the Big Wave Café, in Manzanita. “I met Roland in 1987 when I was a student in culinary school in Portland. He was an advisor.” Today, Henin is one of only 66 Certified Master Chefs in the United States. The title, issued by the American Culinary Federation following successful completion of a rigorous series of tests, is the highest level of certification a chef can receive. Based in Seattle, Henin serves as corporate chef for Delaware North Companies, a global food service and hospitality corporation with headquarters in Buffalo, N.Y. In that role, he directs culinary operations for all of the company’s venues, from resorts to sporting facilities and serves as a mentor to all company culinary teams. In 1992, he served as the coach of the gold medal U.S. Olympic Culinary Team, helping the American chefs

bring home the World Cup from Luxembourg. The following year, he received the first National Chef Professionalism Award ever granted by the American Culinary Federation. Henin continues to mentor famous chefs, including Thomas Keller, of the Napa Valley’s French Laundry, and Timothy Hollingsworth, who represented the United States at the Bocuse d’Or World Final in 2009. “Brian is an old friend of mine and I was so happy when he decided a couple of years ago to settle down on the Oregon coast,” said Henin. “Is there a better place? When he asked if I would consider helping out with his fundraising dinner for the local medical clinic, it was difficult to say no, so here I am. Chefs, as a rule, are givers by their very nature.” Rinehart Clinic staff, board and volunteers are no strangers to giving themselves. The nonprofit clinic, which has served north Tillamook County for more than 100 years, serves anyone who needs medical care, regardless of that individual’s ability to pay. “We are so grateful to Brian and Carol for hosting this benefit dinner,” said Ellen Boggs, Rinehart Clinic CEO. “They give so much to the community, and with this dinner, they’ve outdone themselves.” While Henin and Williams have yet to finalize the menu, tentative plans include poached darne of Columbia River spring chinook with an Oregon white wine veloute served with a jardinière of local vegetables and ovenroasted Yukon gold potatoes for the main course. The

salad will consist of Oregon dandelion greens tossed with sliced Hood River Granny Smith apples, Point Reyes bleu cheese, toasted walnuts and mache lettuce. For an appetizer, they will serve fresh Oregon bay shrimp with plum tomatoes and green onion served on French baguette toast. Dessert will be a roasted rhubarb clafouti, which is Carol Williams’ special inspiration. A complimentary glass of wine is included with the price of dinner. Additional wine, as well as beer and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, will be available for purchase. The Williams, who have owned the Big Wave since 2011, have hosted many benefit dinners for local nonprofit organizations over the last few years. Brian is former senior vice president at Career Education Corporation for Le Cordon Bleu, while Carol, who makes the Big Wave’s desserts, is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Portland. She also studied with renowned French pastry chef, Pascal Tisseur at Petite Provence, an upscale French bakery in Portland. As for the upcoming Springtime on the Oregon Coast dinner, Henin said, “We’ll give it the best shot we have, hoping that some others chefs in the future will joins us, so that we’ll eventually make this event the place that anyone who’s anyone on the Coast will want attend. Watch it happen.” Tickets, which cost $50 per person, are available at Manzanita Lumber, Ticor Title in Manzanita or the Rinehart Clinic.

Family Fun Night a big hit at Nehalem Grade School Event designed to bring families together for an evening of fun By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Designed to bring families together, Nehalem Grade School will have sponsored by the school year’s end four Family Fun Nights. On Friday, April 4, students and their families gathered at the school for pizza and a movie and, according to Principal

Kristi Woika it was the most successful such event yet with 110 people attending. Marzano’s, in Manzanita, took pre-orders on pizzas and delivered them to the school where students and their families enjoyed a bite to eat in the school cafeteria. Afterwards everyone was treated to Disney’s “Frozen,” which was shown in six different classrooms simultaneously. The movie experience even included a concessions stand. “The whole idea is to get families and kids together to do something fun together.

Hoffman Center to close its studio building

The Hoffman Center in Manzanita is closing down its studio building, the former home of its namesakes, due to concerns about the condition of the structure. The studio building, located at 595 Laneda Ave., was the home of Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman who donated it to the community in their trust in 2004 to support the arts, education and the library. The building has provided studio space for working artists, as well as storage and sorting room for the North Tillamook Library board’s annual used book sale. “This winter’s weather was especially hard on the 76-year-old building, and several items came to our attention as needing immediate repair,” said Hoffman Center Board president David Dillon. “We hired a certified home inspector to go through the it on March 22. His find-

ings showed problems with the building’s condition, some of which could pose a safety hazard – specifically excessive moisture and cracked overhead beams.” “After the inspection, it became clear that we could not in good conscience continue to have people using the building as it is, and needed repairs would be too costly until we knew for certain what the long term plans for the house should be,” said Dillon. The center’s board of directors voted to close down the operations of the studio building and gave the users 30 days notice to vacate the property. “We recognize and regret the impact our decision is having on the users, but we had a legal and moral obligation to act,” said Dillon. A stakeholder meeting has been set for Wednesday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in the

center’s main building – 594 Laneda Ave. – to review options and discuss how the property could best fulfill the intent of the Hoffman’s donation to the community. “We are inviting supporters of the Hoffman Center, neighbors, building users and library representatives, as well as experts in real estate and development,” said Dillon. “The meeting will review the Hoffman Center’s overall situation, various options that have been already explored, and then open the discussion for other ideas.” Others interested in attending the meeting can contact Dillon at dillond@ nehalemtel.net or (503) 8010969 for an invitation and a document that provides a The Hoffman Center in Manzanita is closing its studio building on Laneda Ave. across from its primary building background for this meeting. due to concerns about its structural condition.

“Not only did we hit $12,000 this year but the grand total as of today is $12,060,” North county Recreation district swim instructor Sue Dindia-Gray reported at the April 10 meeting of the NCRD Board of Directors. By comparison, last year’s total amount raised was $10,100. This year, there were 80 participants, 69 of them swimmers, from Nehalem Grade School. In all, swimmers swam 2,870 laps equivalent to 40 miles. The annual event is a fundraiser for the NCRD swim program, which teaches elementary school children to swim and learn about water safety. “The event energizes the community in supporting these kids, helps raise awareness and inspires youth,” Dindia-Gray added. “It’s an event where everyone is a winner,” said NCRD general manager Peter Nunn.

Rotary Club of North Tillamook County grant program receives large response

The “Blaze of Glory” grant program launched by the Rotary Club of North Tillamook County received 50 grant requests from organizations throughout Tillamook County. “As we made arrangements to dissolve the club and disperse the remaining funds from the group’s foundation, we expected a good response to the grant program,” said club president Lloyd Seely. “But we were astounded by the final count. There are many worthy nonprofits and organizations doing so many wonderful things in our community.” The Rotary Club will carefully review the grant applications over the next month. Grants will be awarded in midJune to selected organizations. The grant requests represent a total value of projects well over $100,000, and demonstrate the valuable contributions these many programs make to the livability of our community.

County Commissioner Tim Josi I’m seeking re-election because we need to find a responsible way to get our nation’s forests working again. Our neglect of this issue has resulted in overstocked and diseased forests. What we now experience every summer is massive carbon dioxide emitting forest fires that are extremely expensive to fight. Last year the federal government spent $1.1 billion dollars in fire suppression and only $300 million dollars reducing fuel load. Prudent management will result in much-needed jobs and a healthy forest environment.

In the Pacific Northwest, we harvested 3.8 billion board feet in 1987 from our federal forests. Today we’re lucky if the annual harvest is 350 million board feet, yet the annual growth is 1.9 billion board feet. This doesn’t make sense. I’m in a position to make a difference. Last year I was elected to represent the 15 western states as a member of the National Association of Counties Executive Committee. I am also on the board of a national committee that works on forest issues. These two positions allow me to work closely with members of Congress and county Commissioners from across the nation.

Somewhere $220, including Geezer I got the figure of free delivery. Walt $20,000 as being When I was still the average loan a teenager, my Trandum that is hanging brother and I over their heads. I bought a Sears am sure that many chainsaw and set of them exceed that sum, but out to make a living in the

firewood business. We sold a cord for $15, delivered and stacked. We were really upset about another fellow who was selling it for $13 and my brother wanted to take some action to force him to raise his prices. A few years later my wife and I bought our first new home using my G.I. Bill qualification. We were allowed to choose the colors for the kitchen and bathroom fixtures and it included a washer and dryer and stove. The total cost of that home was $8,950. Our payments including taxes and insurance were $89 a month. I had a good job driving a truck and found a copy of my W-2 form for one of those years that showed my wages were $4,000 for the year.

Probably the greatest story about the value of the dollar goes back to the home where I lived as a small boy. My folks bought the place in 1935 for $1,750. Their monthly payments were $17 and they struggled to make those during the Great Depression. Many years later, when they passed away, my brothers and I sold the place for $89,000 and were convinced we made a killing. The folks who bought the place later sold it for $240,000. A few months ago, I was looking around on the computer and found the plat where that home is located and the current value is $450,000. My point in telling all this about home values is to point out that, while the

asset remained the same, the value has escalated to where that initial investment by my folks was very small and I think those who have purchased an education for that $20,000 got a real bargain as they make their way through life. They would be hard pressed to buy themselves a new car for that much money and it would depreciate over the next ten years to almost nothing. That education is their ticket to putting themselves on the road to prosperity that they will be able to share with their families. If they really want to save themselves some money they could use the same strategy that I used to pay off a home in short order. When making the monthly payment they should add the amount of

the next month’s principle. A twenty or thirty year mortgage can be paid in a greatly shortened amount of time. My wife and I just celebrated our 64th wedding anniversary and that made us look back and see how it all happened. We went through some tough times and with that experience we found ways to make our way quite comfortably. Building our own home was the last nail in the housing needs department and being the mayor of the town was the job I had always feared ¬– being paid for what I was worth. That mayor’s job offered no money but there was the opportunity to work with others to help those in need. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Catching up with candidate David Yamamoto

I recently sat down with candidate for Tillamook County Commissioner Position 3, David Yamamoto to discuss his platform and ideas for helping to shape the future of Tillamook County. Although his platform is varied, we discussed two primary issues; bringing family wage jobs to the county, and maintaining and improving our existing infrastructure. These are no small feats and they are strongly interconnected. “Often there are opportunities elsewhere for youth that draw them away from home.” Yamaoto said in regards to the general trend of the increasing median age of Tillamook County. He spoke highly of the community college program to provide technical training for local jobs, “I’m happy that that program is going to stay.” Yamamoto also discussed the current successes of the efforts to bring more family

bond.” However, roads aren’t the only piece of the puzzle as he discussed how he would jockey for more education money as well, “We need to get back to a point where we’re funded by the state. Right now we’re reliant on timber money. We need to start talking to our senators and representatives to look at that formula again.” I have to admit I was surprised I hadn’t heard of David Yamamoto before he entered the race. Having been in Tillamook County for just over a decade, Yamamoto had been involved in projects ranging from the Territorial Sea Plan Amendment Process to the Tillamook Futures Council. Just listing his involvements would be too much for one column, but you can find more information about him at yam4commish.com.

Letters to the Editor Purpose of Tikkun Olam event clarified I want to respond to two letters to the editor alluding to the Tikkum Olam event I facilitated. This quote from the ‘Tikkum’ magazine explains my intention: “For many modern Jews, the term tikkun olam (repairing the world) has become a code-phrase synonymous with social and environmental action. It is linked to a call for healing the ills of the world. Indeed, tikkun olam has become the defining purpose of much of modern Jewish life.” I was delighted that Judaism holds a belief that meshed so beautifully with my hopes for the event: to help people remember our responsibility to heal the Earth. I tried hard to make sure the spirit of the event would be in line with Jewish philosophy. I checked in with local leaders of the Jewish community. Several Jewish artists entered work in the show. The discussion leader is Jewish. The evening’s performances began with a blessing and readings in Hebrew. It is with utmost respect I used this term. This generous community responded most graciously to my invitation to participate in the events. It reminded us of our responsibility to work together to assure that our grandchildren and their grandchildren have a future. It gave over 39 artists an opportunity to express their unique perspective on healing the world, and many others the chance to appreciate and think about those offerings. Those attending the art show, evening performances, discussion, fire ceremony and the ritual sensed the depth of concern expressed. I wanted this event to include elements of Paganism, Buddhism, Christianity, Quantum Physics, Native American philosophy, and love. The challenges facing us call for a blurring of boundaries, a coming together of purpose as we all work to find positive, constructive

and expeditious solutions to the problems which are, more and more, effecting our home, this Earth. I hope this helps to clear up any confusion about the purpose of the event. Together we raised over $600 for local charities, which work to heal the Earth. Glenna Gray Nehalem

Cormorants not to blame Once again the species that does the damage gets to target a species for blame and to get harassed. I’m referring to the April 3 Citizen’s article, “Cormorant hazing aims to protect young fish.” Juvenile salmon need a healthy habitat: clean, clear, cool streams so more survive to come back and spawn, to create more to survive and so on. Maybe we should send pyrotechnics toward loggers, gravel miners, cows, motorboats, fishing people, and dredges. Why is it that cormorants, terns, and seals bear the brunt of our habitat destruction?

tens of thousands of tons of waste every year, including manure, shavings, straw, and animal corpses. Many carcasses from fur farms end up rotting in landfills. Fur coats are also loaded with toxic chemicals to keep them from decomposing in the buyer’s closet. One of the chemicals used in dying furs, hexavalent chromium, is a hazardous waste, according to the EPA. Fur is mean, not “green.” Find out more at www. PETA.org.

‘Thank you’ anonymous donor The Pine Grove Community House needs to update its emergency lighting system in case of a power outage during a public event. Shortly after the Pine Grove board began investigating the cost of installing a new system, it received an anonymous donation of $500 to help pay for it. This is indicative of Manzanita’s strong community spirit and the Pine Grove membership is, indeed, thankful for this kind gift. George Reddish, Presdent Pine Grove Board

Fur is mean, not ‘green’ A commercial crab boat caption was recently charged with first-degree water pollution, a felony, after he allegedly dumped 5,000 pounds of rotten, skinned mink carcasses in the Port of Brookings Harbor in Curry County. Fur-wearers, take note: There’s the rest of your fur coat. According to news reports, the carcasses came from mink farms and were to be used as crab bait. This is just the latest example that turning animal skins into fur is neither kind nor sustainable. The majority of animals killed for fur today are raised on fur farms, which produce

What the heck is a feck?! The season of political name calling and general chest beating is upon us with the upcoming elections. Although it really never lets up, it will undoubtedly intensify in the months ahead. Name calling and vague platitudes will be offered up as a substitute for political discourse. So what the heck is a feck? And what is “feckless,” less fecks? As the “think tanks” churn out endless talking points to coordinate name calling, this one seemed particularly strange...”feckless!” After hearing a half dozen politi-

cians and pundits use feckless, it required a trip to the dictionary. The ancient Scots used the word “fek” and it became “effect.” So feckless means without effect, or ineffective, worthless, weak, irresponsible...those kind of things. This rather high brow name calling. More typically, name calling goes from the old standards, to the darker and darker. Labeling your opponent as disturbing, dangerous, naive, out-of-touch, soon devolves to such terms as warmonger and corrupt. And in some circles, the blows are really “below the belt”...communist, fascist, anti-Christ and the classic... un-American. If we are to elect our representatives that actually have understandable policy positions, we need to press them for specifics as to what they would do on a particular issue and tell them to cut out the name calling. Vague, hackneyed statements like “I will advocate educational reform, or I will cut taxes” are really meaningless unless the candidate gives some details on exactly what they support. Do you feel feckless sometimes in figuring out who should get your vote? Ed Gallagher Manzanita

Writers’ Series presents Karen Karbo on May 2 Author Karen Karbo will read from her book Julia Child Rules at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 2. Karbo was originally scheduled Saturday, Feb. 15, but that event had to be rescheduled due to weather and road conditions. Please note it’s Friday rather than the normal Saturday event schedule. Many have dog-eared copies of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in our kitchens or fondly remember watching episodes of “The French Chef,” but what was behind the enormous appeal of this ungainly, unlikely woman, who became a superstar in midlife and changed our approach to food and cooking forever? With her characteristic wit and flair, Karen Karbo takes us for a spin through Julia’s life: including her years working for the OSS in Sri Lanka; her world class love affairs with Paris and Paul Child; and her decades as America’s beloved French chef. Karbo highlights important life lessons along the way: how to live by your whims, make the world your oyster, enjoy a life of full immersion. Karbo’s 2004 memoir, “The Stuff of Life,” about the last year she spent with her father before his death, was an NYT Notable Book,

Getty to turn 80, donates to local food bank

The family of Cal Getty will hold a birthday celebration for his 80th birthday from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 19 at the Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Ave. Community friends are invited to join the festivities. The celebration’s events will include a donation to the local food bank with a focus on reducing hunger with the area’s children. As a supporter of the local food bank, Getty has asked that in lieu of gifts any donations be made to the North County Food Bank. The generosity of community contributions to the North County Food Bank, under the direction of director, Imie Camelli and volunteers is an example of “paying it forward” so many of our families can benefit from their efforts, believes Getty. Cal and his wife Dianne moved to Nehalem in 1992 following their careers in education working with young children. “This is an amazing community and we are proud to be a small part of the encouraging spirit that comes from participating with others and for others,” say the Gettys.

Beatles on Laneda, an evening of The Beatles music

Do you remember where you were fifty years ago when The Beatles first sang on the Ed Sullivan Show? Too young for that? Either way, don’t miss Beatles on Laneda, an evening of Beatles music on Saturday, May 3, 7 p.m., at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. “Several friends, 55 and older, watched the Grammy’s fifty-year salute to the Beatles together. No matter where in the country we’d grown up, we had memories of this historical musical event in common,” recalls event organizer Tela Skinner. “We decided we could do our own Beatles salute, here in Manzanita. John Freethy created a flyer with The Beatles crossing Laneda similar to the Abbey Road album cover. Voila! The name ‘Beatles on Laneda’ was born.” Hoffman Center Talent Show musicians Fred and Friends, Frank and The Ferrets, and The Sedona Fire Band will perform their

versions of Beatles songs including: All My Loving, Here Comes the Sun, Don’t Pass Me By, Blackbird, Act Naturally and others. Singer-songwriter George Hoag, a musician since age 14, will be new to the Hoffman Center stage, playing acoustic guitar. “Like most young people from 1964 to 1970, the music of the Beatles carried an instant and deep interior resonance with my inner being,” says Gary Seelig, emcee for the concert. George Martin, the Beatles producer, noted that when the four Beatles came together they seemed to enter another dimension to become a vehicle for whatever higher force is out there. John Lennon described this phenomenon as being a channel for “the music of the spheres, the music that passes all understanding.” Though most of that generation had no idea of what this resonance was, people immediately felt it, loved the

music then and still enjoy it today. If you were alive in 1964, please bring a photo of yourself from that era. We’d like to see the sweet young thing you were back when the Beatles first came to America. Many of us who live in this community only got to know one another as we’ve gotten older. Too young to have experienced that historic event but enjoy Beatles music? Wear a tag that says, “A mere little glimmer in Mom and Dad’s eyes.” Come early and join in the celebration. Your $10 admission will support the Hoffman Center’s Capital Campaign to “Finish Off the Hoff” to make it a more attractive and comfortable building for all types of artistic events. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda, Manzanita. Further information is available at hoffmanblog.org online or contact Tela Skinner at mactela@nehalemtel.

Webb holds her MFA from Naropa’s Contemporary Performance Program, and her BFA from NYU’s Experimental Theater Wing. “Deep Play” is a path to manifesting our birthright as creative physical beings. Webb invites us to slow down, refresh our senses, and delight our inner eye as she leads us in making on-the-spot compositions using found objects. Through mindfulness of our everyday use of sense perceptions and gentle awareness of the stories space inherently holds, participants will unfold their imaginations and

aesthetics using their bodies and physical props to explore moving and still images in space. Come as you are – no experience necessary. Tuition is $30. Please register by calling Lola Sacks at (503) 368-6227 or email contemplativearts.lola@gmail.com.

Forum set April 22 for Sexual Assault Awareness Month Sexual assault is more common than most people know and the most underreported crime in America. Why is this so, what social and cultural norms contribute to the problem and how are Tillamook County professionals responding to this challenge? For answers to these questions, a public forum entitled “Standing Together: Preventing and Responding to Sexual Assault” is scheduled for Tuesday, April 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Copeland Room at Tillamook Main Branch Library on 3rd Street. Sponsored by Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center, the forum will reveal the truth about the high incidence of sexual assault, how it can be prevented and what we are doing about it locally. The program will include sexual assault awareness information from Syndey Elliot, who has been teaching self-defense and sexual violence prevention in Oregon for more than 20 years. And there will be a presentation about Tillamook County’s Sexual Assault Response Team and its work. The forum is free and refreshments will be served. Space is limited.

2014 ocean salmon seasons promise plenty of angling opportunity The proposed 2014 ocean salmon seasons announced by the Pacific Fishery Management Council the past two weeks include good news for both sport anglers and commercial troll salmon fishermen off the Oregon Coast. Recreational and commercial troll Chinook salmon fishing this year looks to vary from good to great based on forecasted adult returns destined for key river basins of the Columbia River, the Central Valley in California, and the Klamath River. Although fishery managers are forecasting returns to the Central Valley and Klamath River fall Chinook to be well below the 2013 totals, they should be abundant enough to result in good Chinook catches along the entire Oregon Coast. Managers are predicting tremendous runs of Chinook are forecast to return to the Columbia River later this summer and this should provide for some great fishing both in the ocean and the Columbia River in August. Thanks to much improved hatchery and naturally produced coho populations, the 2014 ocean coho seasons should provide the most time on the water for coho fishing since the 2010 season. Mark selective fishing for hatchery coho beginning in late June is expected to be very good along the Oregon Coast, especially from Bandon up to the Columbia River. The Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. non-selective coho season will open on August 30 to coincide with Labor Day weekend. “We are expecting a very good coho season this year, and, if the stars line up just right off the Oregon Coast, Chinook fishing could be even better than last year, ” said Chris Kern, ODFW administrator for ocean salmon fisheries. “This should be a great year

On April 10 through 12, over 3,000 Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members converged on the Portland Convention Center for a statewide competition in various business oriented contests. Among them were 18 Neah-Kah-Nie High School students, one of the smallest delegations to attend this business competitive event, and they came away winners. “This is the most students we’ve had qualify for state in several years,” said FBLA advisor Brad Gerards. “I’m just so pleased with the results.” Topping the winners were Max Hooley, Dylan Wacker and Julian Croman with first place in marketing, and Colin Purcell and Nathan Imholt, placing third in digital design and promotion in team events. Ariel Breazile took third place in introduction to business, and Kelsey Nelson placed eighth in this individual event. Other teams that placed in the top ten at state were Annie Kelly and Alejandro Quintana in eighth place in hospitality management; and Alaina Holm, Sokcali Hansen and Annie Romig in ninth place in marketing. Alaina Holm placed fourth in word processing. NKN FBLA embraced the conference’s

theme and truly showed “Excellence in Action.” “I’m so proud of everyone,” said FBLA President Kalli Swanson. “For most of the kids in other FBLA chapters, that’s all they do. Our FBLA chapter members are students that are involved in tons of other activities and sports, and we had amazing success at state. Way to go, Pirates!” FBLA is a student-led,

This year’s ocean Chinook season will offer anglers the most time on the water since the 2010 season. Courtesy photo to be out on the ocean.” Sport anglers and commercial troll fishermen already have been fishing along the Oregon Coast south of Cape Falcon, and fishery managers have been hearing of good ocean Chinook catches from waters offshore from Newport to Bandon, according to Eric Schindler, ODFW ocean salmon project leader. “Our season is already off to a good start, and should only get better from this point on,” he said.

n Wheeler From page 1 proach to raise the necessary funds by revisiting the city’s budget, seeking private donations and asking the Port of Nehalem to chip in. The land valuation of the 6.78 acres is $1,108,400. The OPRD grant being applied for is $800,000 with a required 20 percent in kind match of $200,000 coming from the owners of the property. That leaves $108,400 for Wheeler to come up with; not an astronomical amount, but money the small coastal community that’s strapped for cash doesn’t have at its disposal, hence the fundraising effort and spot on the Port of Nehalem’s March meeting agenda to present its case. Why the Port? Because the Port has the money and Wheeler’s plans for it dovetail nicely with the Port of Nehalem’s strategic plan, say Wheeler officials. Geoff Wullschlager, Wheeler’s city manager, noted such in a 14-page handout to Port commissioners in his presentation at the Port’s Mar. 26 meeting in Nehalem. In addition to “providing and advocating for a healthy, accessible, and navigable, economically, and

He stressed emphasis on a smooth tra nsitio n for the clini c sta ff and for the patie nts of the Rinehart Clinic as the Clinic continues to serve the he alth needs of the communi ty. Docto r R inehart, whe n informed by Boggs of he r plans, wrote the f ollowing statement, which

environmentally sustainable Nehalem River,” the Port’s strategic plan also calls for the protection of Bott’s Marsh. Though Bott’s Marsh is not actually part of the purchase, the vision of what Wheeler looks to accomplish with an abutting, low-impact park does, said Wullschlager. As for Bott’s Marsh, Wheeler is in favor of keeping it in its natural state as part of the Nehalem River watershed with a land conservatory stepping forward to help preserve it. In the end, it’s all about Wheeler coming up with $108,400. “That’s why we’re here tonight, to ask your help to make up that shortfall,” said Wullschlager as he concluded his presentation. Asked if the City of Wheeler had any “skin in the game” by Commissioner Jim Peters, the response by Wullschlager and Mayor Stevie Burden was not yet, but that fundraising efforts were underway, including a private donation of up to $50,000. Among the supporters of Wheeler’s effort to acquire the property are state senator Betsy Johnson, state representative Deborah Boone, Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, the cities of Manzanita, Nehalem, Garibaldi, Bay City and Tillamook, the Economic Development Council of

Tillamook County, Lower Nehalem Community Trust and the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway. In addition, over 60 local residents have signed a petition in favor of the land acquisition for a park. “It’s a wonderful presentation, but I would feel better about it if there was financial backing by your supporters,” said Peters, a sentiment shared by fellow commissioners. Perhaps the biggest stumbling block is the animosity towards the City of Wheeler shared by Port commissioners Rick Dart and Lindy Scovell, two of five commissioners who would ultimately have a vote in the matter of approving Port funds to help Wheeler in its quest to purchase the waterfront property. Said Scovell, son of the property owner Vern Scovell, “You won’t allow growth,” noting that Wheeler had thwarted previous attempts throughout the years by his father to develop the property. “I guess I’m a hard sell.” As for Dart, he found himself at odds with the city a few years back about how he used and conducted business on his waterfront property next to the uplands parcel the city is looking to acquire. Dart, who ended up racking up attorney fees

to protect his interests, said, “I don’t mean to take it personal, but some wounds run deep.” In reply, Burden noted she wasn’t in city government at the time and actually worked to help rectify the rift between the city and Dart when she became mayor. Mindful of “the stinky old wars,” of the past Burden added, “I think a lot of things have changed over the years, including public sentiment as to what people will support…The property has been hanging in the balance for a long time…I don’t blame you for how you feel. I’d like everyone to come out of this better than it is now. We’re talking about the future of our community, not the past.” Burden’s sentiment was echoed by Wheeler city councilor Bill Mullen, also in attendance. “This could be the last hurrah, the property could sit there another 20 years and that would be a crying shame. If nothing else, this is going to help Vern (Scovell),” said Mullen, in that he would be cashed out of the property. The Port of Nehalem revisits Wheeler’s proposal at its next meeting on Wednesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m., at its office inside the North County Recreation District in Nehalem.

reflects many of the comments of the board and staff: “Ellen Boggs came to Rinehart Clinic six years ago at a time o f dire need. We needed an executive director who was experienced, sharp, and tough enough to put up with the likes of me. ‘I’m your girl!’ she said, when applying for the job. “Boy, did she fit the bill. Ellen guided us through some very difficult times, never wavering, always there

with a smile, and usually a cookie. Tough! When her beloved husband, Gary, died suddenly three years ago Ellen could easily have departed the scene. She didn’t, for there was work left to be done, and Ellen Boggs never left a job half done. She never stopped learning; she attended all the meetings and courses so necessary to stay abreast in this rapidly changing world of health care. She had the foresight to plan ahead for a future when

most of us will be long gone. Above all she cares deeply for the people of this community, and always advocated for excellence in the delivery of prim ary care at Rinehart. Her retirement will leave a large void in the clinic for some time, and knowing this, Ellen has agreed to assist in the transition. Many thanks, Ellen, for a job exceptionally well done, for your dedication to our community’s health, and for your friendship.”

n Cartm From page 1 One of the stolen items is over $400 in postage stamps, which can then be sold at face value on E-bay and other Internet sites. “We were hoping that the individual might try to cash in the stamps at our local post offices,” said Hamilton. “We purchase special recycle-themed stamps and alerted the local postmasters to be on the look out for a large quantity of these stamps, but so far, no luck.” It’s likely that the person went out of the area to turn the stamps into cash or sold them on the Internet, Hamilton noted. Manzanita Public Safety officers have increased patrols out to CARTM after hours, and encourage the public to be extra vigilant and aware of suspicious or out-of-the-ordinary individuals in the area of CARTM. “We are hoping that maybe someone might have seen something and that by getting the word out we might be able to find the person or persons that have done this,” said Hamilton.

the damage to four buildings, doors, windows, security cameras and other measures have taken a toll on CARTM’s already tight budget. “This is such a wonderful, caring community,” said Hamilton. “Stealing is wrong no matter what, but it seems especially wrong to steal from a nonprofit. We’d help these people if they’d just ask, instead of stealing from us. It happens quite often that folks find themselves stuck here and in need of sleeping bags and clothes and household items – circumstances beyond their control, and we’re happy to help them.” It is all about keeping our community safe and having that sense of security. The break-ins throughout the area are a reminder to everyone to be watchful and aware. “These robberies aren’t just about the materials things and the money they’ve taken,” said Hamilton. “They’ve also taken away our idyllic view of this community.” If you have any information that might help with this on-going investigation, please contact Manzanita Public Safety at (503) 368-7229 or CARTM at (503) 3687764.

Changing of the guard at...

NCRD

Outgoing North County Recreation District general manager Peter Nunn was recognized at a special reception in his honor at NCRD the afternoon of April 4, where he thanked those in attendance and the greater community for its support. Nunn, after a six-year stint as the recreation center’s GM, indicated last fall that he planned to retire in early 2014, prompting a search for his replacement earlier this year. NCRD welcomed Steven Cangelosi to its April board meeting the following week. Said board chair John Coopersmith in welcoming Cangelosi, “We can finally remove the general manager search from the agenda.” Cangelosi, who was among 23 applicants for the job, was selected between the top two finalists Mar. 21. Nunn plans to stay on a few weeks longer to help during the transition.

Below: Peter Nunn greets well wishers upon his impending retirement at a reception held for him at NCRD on April 4. At right: Outgoing NCRD general manager Peter Nunn and his replacement, Steven Cangelosi, pose for the camera.

Prepare for a new challenge... small is beautiful. Tiny is cool. And, as the Trash Art Show returns to CARTM, the size of the art is getting smaller— much smaller. This year, the Trash Art Show will be held in the Trash Art Gallery in The Refindery. To contain the show in this small, but beautiful space, all trash art pieces must fit into 36 square inches. “We thought this would be a great new challenge for our trash artists,” said Lorraine Ortiz, who along with Susan Walsh is co-producing the 16th

There is no entry fee and the only stipulation is that all artwork must be made with recycled, repurposed or reused materials and must be 6” x 6” or 36 square inches. Each submitted piece must have a title, be priced and exhibition ready with appropriate hardware for hanging or display. All art submitted to the show must be for sale with the split being 50 percent to the artist and 50 percent donated to CARTM. Art may be delivered to the Trash Art Gallery at CARTM’s Refindery, 34995 Necarney City Road

From repurposing chipped, cast-off dishes into beautiful mosaics, to using scraps of metal wire to make kinetic sculpture— everything is fair game as long as it fits in 36 square inches. Two-dimensional work, as well as three-dimensional work is encouraged and electric outlets are available for pieces that

and full of lovely things like pineapple, coconut and pecans. Even though it was a fad dessert at the time, it has endured and has a sweet spot in most everyone’s heart and mouth. So much so, that February 3 was declared National Carrot Cake Day. (I kid you not! Who-

ever declared that, I love them!) You are a lucky, lucky bnny today as I am sharing with you the best carrot cake ever! It comes from one of my very favorite cookbooks, “The Fiddlehead Cookbook,” which was a celebrated restaurant in Juneau,

Alaska. Every single person that has tried this cake has asked for the recipe. Now you don’t have to. I have developed a gluten free carrot cake made with almond flour that is on my website at cavewomancafe.com. Have a wonderful Easter filled with hope and carrot cake.

Fiddlehead’s 18 Carat Cake

The unsweetened coconut is available at Mother Nature’s. Remember to save your pineapple juice from draining the canned pineapple!

2 1/2 cups of unbleached organic flour 1 1/2 cups of white sugar 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon of ground ginger OR 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 1 cup of light tasting olive oil 4 eggs 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice from the pineapple 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract 2 cups of grated carrot (about 3 medium) 1 cup of chopped nuts 1 cup of raisins 1 cup of finely flaked desiccated (unsweetened) coconut 3/4 cup of canned crushed pineapple drained (save that juice!) Generously coat two 9” inch round cake pans, or whatever cake pan you are into, with butter and dust with flour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and set the racks to the middle of the oven. Then, bunny hop around the kitchen, once or twice. (Optional.) Grate your carrot up and drain the pineapple juice out of the pineapple into a clean bowl then set aside for later. Whisk together in a large mixing bowl all the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, spices and leavenings, till the spices are mixed in well. In a mixing bowl, (I use a stand mixer) blend the oil, eggs and vanilla till they get creamy, about three minutes. Add the pineapple juice and blend some more. With the mixer on a low speed, you know, not to slow to bog the mixer but not so fast the flour will give you a facial, add the dry ingredients to the wet until just mixed. (Don’t over mix it or you will get a toughie of a cake!) Fold in the carrots, nuts, raisins, coconut and pineapple with a rubber spatula until distributed evenly. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pans and tuck in the over to bake for 30-35 minutes or until the fragrance begins to fill the house. Check for doneness by touching the center and if it is set. (You can also use the old fashion way of inserting a tooth pick in the center and if it comes back clean.) Let the cakes cool for a 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to let finish cooling completely. Frost with cream cheese frosting and bunny hop.

Maple Cream Cheese frosting

I don’t like a super sweet frosting, but if you do, add more powdered sugaruntil you get the flavor you enjoy. You will need to half this recipe if you are frosting something less than a two layer cake.

Two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese 5 tablespoons of melted butter 1to 2 cups of powdered sugar 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon Cream together the cream cheese with the butter with a mixer until smooth, smooth, smooth. With the mixer on low, add one cup of the powdered sugar until mixed in, then add the vanilla, maple syrup and cinnamon and mix some more. Taste, if it needs more sugar, add until it is the perfect flavor for you. (I like it a little less sweet.) Frost your cakes, decorate with nuts, coconut, raisins and edible flowers. Bunny hop some more.

More Volunteers, More Community Work In More Places More Volunteers Doing More Community Work in More Places than Any Service Club Organization When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In 208 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we’re local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we’re global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders. We want everyone to see a better tomorrow. That’s why we support sight programs and services including vision screenings, eye banks and eyeglass recycling. Provide eye care services to those at risk of losing their sight. And raise donations through campaigns like SightFirst and Campaign SightFirst II. We believe everyone deserves a healthy life. From providing health programs that focus on hearing loss to supporting efforts to control and prevent diabetes, Lions volunteers are working to improve the health of children and adults around the world. We empower the next generation. Whether it’s providing youth volunteer opportunities and leadership experiences in a Leo club or sharing a message

of peace through our Peace Poster contest, our youth programs invest in the future by reaching out to young people. We serve local communities and protect the planet. From performing hands-on community work and service projects to providing emergency assistance, our community and environment programs improve our communities and protect the environment. There are many ways to get involved. Here are just a few of the many opportunities to do volunteer community work when you join the Lions: Community projects Group volunteer opportunities Become a host family Community disaster preparedness Diabetes awareness Global health programs For more information about local Lions Clubs, Gloria Tarnasky at 503-355-8242 or Marilou Bowman at 503-355-2977 in Rockaway, Jack Graves at 503-322-3543 in Garibaldi, and Vern Mobley at 503-392-4436 in Nestucca Valley.
