Tillamook County Quilt Block Trail moves north to Manzanita

$1.00

Visitors’ Center latest building to be adorned with a distinctive block

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Though Manzanita’s visitors’ center has been open since January, it wasn’t until recently a quilt block secured by the Manzanita Chamber of Commerce (formerly Manzanita Business Alliance) was placed on the side of the building. Disagreement as to where the anchor design quilt block should be placed between the City of Manzanita, which owns the building, and the Chamber, which staffs and operates the visitors’ center, was resolved in early March. On a rainy afternoon March 19, the Tillamook County Quilt Trail was finally extended to Manzanita with the placement of the block on the building’s west wall facing the ocean.

The quilt block was for Chamber members an appropriate finishing touch, who see the Quilt Trail as one more way to promote business and tourism in north Tillamook County.

The first Quilt Block Trail on the West Coast, the first phase of the Tillamook County Quilt Trail began in 2009, when in January

Steven Cangelosi says he looks forward to becoming a member of the community and building on the existing programs in place at the North County Recreation District.

Photo by Dave Fisher representatives from several city and county organizations began meeting with the intent of establishing such a trail locally. The concept has its roots in the eastern U.S., where approximately 3,000 quilt blocks are mounted on barns and businesses. The closest quilt trail to Tillamook is in Nebraska.

Formed under the auspices of the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, the process included identifying historic barns and other buildings

in Tillamook County, with the idea of enhancing the structure with a large (8 ft. x 8 ft.) painted wooden quilt block. Through a self-guided tour, visitors celebrate quilts and the unique rural heritage of Tillamook County. Today there are 81 quilt blocks have blossomed throughout the county, mostly in the central portion, 30+ of which (4 ft. x 4 ft.) adorn businesses in downtown Tillamook.

Meanwhile, the Quilt Trail, preserving and promoting the coastal heritage of

Tillamook County, continues to grow and has reached into the northern and southern parts of the county. In Wheeler, the first quilt block in north Tillamook County made its debut in November 2010 on the exterior wall of Creative Fabrics. The recent addition at the Manzanita Visitors’ Center is the furthest northern point in the county where a quilt block is on display.

The project, sponsored by the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center, owes its success from

Hoffman Center launches capital campaign

‘It’s time to finish off the Hoff,’ says the center’s president

Entering its tenth year supporting the arts, culture and education, the Hoffman Center in Manzanita is kicking off a capital fundraising campaign to complete needed improvements to its main building.

Myrtle Hoffman died in April 2004, launching through her and her late husband Lloyd’s family trust what would become the Hoffman Center – a place for locals and visitors of all ages to explore, create and connect through the arts.

Two large public meetings

held in late 2004 solicited what the community wanted in an art center. Recognizing the Hoffmans’ house could accommodate few of those desires, the board of directors made an important decision. They purchased the former Treasure Cave building across the street in late 2006 to provide space for a wide range of programs to be developed. The Hoffmans’ house would be reserved for artist studios.

Architectural designs were obtained for replacing the building with something modern and striking. The project would have cost about $500,000. The board felt those funds could not be raised at the time, so they opted to refurbish the

“Three years ago, we began turning the original mini-storage and later gift store into a more usable, flexible, and comfortable place,” said Hoffman Center president Dave Dillon. “We made certain things signifi-

cantly better, but now is the time to complete the transformation. It’s time to finish off the Hoff.”

Starting in early 2011, the center room posts were removed, improving visibility. The clay studio was expanded and a window was installed. The Manzanita

NCRD names new GM

The North County Recreation District has selected its new general manager to replace Peter Nunn who is retiring.

The new manager will be Steven Cangelosi who currently resides in Gig Harbor, Washington.

The decision to offer the position to Cangelosi followed interviews of the top finalists and a special board meeting held afterwards on March 21.

“Bringing in Steven Cangelosi as the new general manager of the North County Recreation District will, in my perspective, allow the district to continue and build on the outstanding stewardship of retiring GM Peter Nunn,” said NCRD Board Chair John Coopersmith.

“Under Mr. Nunn’s leadership the district has achieved fiscal stability. The district has seen growth in numbers of patrons and programs.

Buildings have been renewed and maintained.

As of June 30th we will have saved one million dollars towards a new community pool,” Coopersmith added.

Cangelosi has a bachelor’s degree in recre-

Spring Break in Manzanita!

Inclement weather and the closure of Laneda Ave. from Hwy 101 to Division Street didn’t deter visitors to this part of the coast during Oregon school’s annual spring break.

Warm sunny weather greeted those who came to the Manzanita area the first weekend, which bode well for the annual Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup on Saturday, Mar. 22.

SOLVE reported that over 4,500 volunteers helped clear the entire Oregon coast of trash during the annual cleanup, estimating 45,955 pounds of de-

bris was removed.

Rain returned to the area early in the week making it yet another “typical spring break,” said many. By week’s end, sun breaks beckoned area residents and visitors to get outside once again.

While the eastern most portion of Laneda Ave. was closed except for local access, progress continues on widening the street and adding a sidewalk.

Plans call for improvements to Laneda to be finished prior to the busy summer season.

An end is in sight and Spring break for some meant just stretching out on the beach at Manzanita it’s not far away. and soaking up some sunshine, that is when they could find it.

Quality meats, garden-fresh produce, salads and desserts from our deli... everything you need for your Easter celebration!

Manzanita inn seeks your help in selecting colors

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Stewart Martin wants your help.

Stewart and his wife, Karen, purchased what was the Fireside Inn in 2004 and over the past decade the couple has continued to make improvements to the building and amenities.

Now it’s time, with the inn’s siding replaced and repaired, to decide on a color scheme for the building. That’s where local residents and guests of the inn come in. Stewart wants your advice and you’re invited to submit your vote or even suggest another color scheme.

“We had a contest to name the inn when we purchased it,” said Stewart. “We’ve listened to suggestions and have made a lot of improvements because of customer feedback.”

If you have noticed

the various exterior color schemes on the Spindrift Inn’s west wall along Carmel Ave. and wondered what the heck is going on, it is because those are the colors being considered for the wall and doors to the guest rooms. The color schemes can also be accessed and voted upon by visiting the inn’s Facebook page accessible through its website, www.spindrift-inn.com.

“People can just pop in the office and place their vote too,” said Stewart, who is open to suggestions as far as colors.

With the “big stuff” – including a new roof and siding – finished, Stewart is breathing a sigh of relief and now it’s more about having fun with the business. Asked how business has been of late following the economic downturn, he replied, “It’s been good, we’re up over last year…it’s better

than ever.”

A lot of the credit goes to his new innkeepers, the Aasens, who live onsite and moved to the area a year ago from Michigan to assume the position. In addition, says Stewart, he is blessed with a great maintenance and cleaning crew, which goes a long way in explaining why the Spindrift is running like a fine-tuned, well oiled machine.

Cautioned that he might be opening a can of worms seeking outside opinions as to what colors he should be painting the exterior, Stewart grinned and noted, “We control the ‘can.’”

There’s still plenty of time to weigh in. Study the colors and vote, or offer your own color scheme. So far, more than 200 people have responded. The results of the contest will be visible by summer.

Owner Stewart Martin, left, and Spindrift Inn managers Carl and Jennifer Aasen want your help in selecting the inn’s new color scheme from those options shown on the building’s exterior west wall. Or, if you’re so inclined, suggest other colors. Martin looks to have the exterior painted before summer. Photo by Dave Fisher

Hoffman Center presents Irish Concert “In Two Minds”

The Hoffman Center in Manzanita will host an evening of Irish music by Len Graham and Brían Ó hAirt, Friday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. The Portland Céilí Society is sponsoring their appearance. Admission will be on a sliding scale from $15 - $20.

Graham is one of Ireland’s best-known singers, having gained an international reputation not only for his inimitable singing style but also for the breadth of his knowledge of Irish folk music. Ó hAirt, an American-born singer, continues to gather repute for his ability to share the collective mind of an older generation of singers, having gained intimate insight into Ireland’s singing traditions in his youth.

The hallmark of a decade-old friendship bridging a generation or two, “In Two Minds” is a collaboration that captures the magic of Irish traditional singing in the “raw bar.”

Graham’s ballads come from northeastern Ulster and Ó hAirt’s lyrical sean-nós from the Irish-speaking regions of the Wes. The duo has distilled those traditions into a performance that weaves stories, songs, tunes and dance into “the one tradition.”

The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Ave., Manzanita. More information is available at hoffmanblog.org

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.

Writer Willy Vlautin plans to read from his latest novel, “The Free,” at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore on April 12.

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. “‘The Free,’ by Willy Vlautin, is magnificent,” says Jody Swanson, owner of Cloud & Leaf in Manzanita. “It is about three people whose lives are intertwined by sad circumstances. There is Leroy, who has come home wounded from fighting in Iraq and is now living in a group home, Freddie, the night watch at the home, and Pauline, the nurse who works at the hospital where Leroy eventually ends up.

Vlautin weaves back and forth through their lives and reveals the plights each are caught in. Through the telling of the story, the importance of each character’s decision not to give up is made clear. Their struggles and how hard they each try to stay hopeful and not be defeated by lack of money, mental illness or the cruelty of others is what makes them beautiful.

All three characters manage to treat the people they know or encounter with kindness and empathy. Not unlike his other three books, Vlautin takes ordinary people, often the underdogs, and makes them into quiet heroes.”

Vlautin, who lives in Scappoose, is also a singer and songwriter with the Portlandbased band Richmond Fontaine, which has produced nine studio albums since its founding in 1994. Born and raised in Reno,

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?

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.

I graduated from Oregon State University and shortly thereafter started my own small business as a landscape contractor. I ran my business for nearly 25 years and managed employees. I utilized my training at OSU to design, bid and contract projects that ranged from private homes to public schools. My six brothers and sisters have always been selfemployed. I have two grown children. A little over three years ago, I lost my wife to a sudden illness.

I can remember my mother coming in the bedroom that I shared with two of my brothers. Don’t think any of us ever admitted that it might have been our fault the mess it was in.

I liken our national, international and personal financial situation to the question “Who made this mess?” The news is filled with finger pointing. Companies tell us they are over extended in their retiree pension accounts and the retirees are all worried that they have not received cost of living increases and in many cases stand to lose what they were promised. Governmental agencies, including cities and counties, are broke and going out of business.

The companies have long given up on apologizing for

a chance that the population will ever increase to where it can be spread out to more people to share the burden.

I heard something new on television recently. They asked a newly elected governor how he felt about the negotiations with Iran and the other countries alarmed about what is happening. His reply was that he was just elected to run the state and he didn’t know enough about the facts to offer an opinion.

I wanted to thank him for that piece of wisdom. The governor had some problems of his own, but he certainly isn’t the only elected official with problems.

It is pretty hard to even imagine the enormity of our countries debt. Just trying to track the daily expenses boggle one’s mind. This stuff

is like trying to imagine the amount of water in the ocean and our chances of affecting what is there. Page one there is a story about the financial disaster and on the next page the president has flown to Florida to play golf. Getting there on Air Force one probably cost more than the average citizen makes in a year.

I can remember when we were all up to our necks in offers for credit card accounts. All kinds of promises were made about the ease of use and the advantages of using that money in our daily lives. Some people do use them and manage their finances in a very efficient manner. However, there are those who couldn’t handle those cards without jeopardizing their very lives. I will never forget a fellow I knew

who told me that he had been using those credit cards and had 17 if them maxed out.

He lived to a pretty grand old age, so the obligation must have been met. The old adage about waiting to buy something when you had the money was lost on many people. Bankruptcy is sometimes the only solution for individuals and now we have cities and towns experiencing that same tragedy.

The bad part of all this is that the folks that are going to be stuck with handling this mess are sure not the ones who made it all happen. If some of our elected officials would spend more time seeing where the money is going and quit looking for new sources of revenue, they might save the day in this country.

Letters to the Editor Interesting how ‘traditions’ change over time These comments may be considered churlish and petty, and I apologize in advance if I hurt anyone’s feelings.

It is often interesting to see how the meaning of a tradition changes over time. Consider the bagel, a bread product that originated in Krakow, Poland in the early 17th Century and has become a half billion-dollar industry in the United States.

From a simple boiled and baked bread product with the occasional use of poppy or sesame seeds sprinkled on top, the bagel has morphed into so many varieties and versions, that it is almost unrecognizable to purists.

Likewise the concept of tikkun olam (a Hebrew phrase meaning to repair, heal, or transform the world)

north coast

has broadened from the call to the Jewish people in the aleinu (a prayer recited three times per day by observant, orthodox Jews) that thanks God for allowing the Jewish people to serve God and hopes that all the world will abandon idolatry and accept God. In modern Judaism, particularly in the Reform and Reconstructionist movements, the term has become associated with social action to right the perceived wrongs of the modern day world.

The magazine Tikkun is representative of this movement.

I have a difficult time reconciling any of the versions of tikkun olam with bonfires on the beach, drum beating, dancing and art shows. There is certainly nothing wrong with these activities, but they don’t seem to me to belong under the rubric of tikkun olam. Shalom aleichem!

Medical marijuana dispensary controversy I had hoped my encouragement to Oregonians to vote for Paul Rand was the last opinion piece I would write for a very long time. But here I am, again, compelled to write another.

I wish it was otherwise as I have much to do. But the Tillamook County commissioners have lately attacked birds and marijuana – two of my favorite things – and I cannot stay silent. As anyone whose loved ones are being attacked, I am forced to take a defensive posture.

I did not read the article about the commissioners nixing marijuana dispensaries (did not need to), the byline, visible on the newspaper dispensary window, proved to me their ignorance on the matter.

Why bother to read their illogic? The byline on a recent front cover of the Headlight Herald was this: “What kind of message are we sending our children if a medical marijuana dispensary is opened near any of our schools?”

Here is the message we should be sending: Pharmaceutical drugs try hard to mimic marijuana, but cannot come close because they are created by bankers, mad scientists and the devil. God created marijuana. Plant a seed and you have your medicine.

More than 20,000 people die every year after ingesting Wall Street’s evil drugs.

Many thousand more die from Wall Street’s pharmaceuticals than are killed by guns. How many die each year from marijuana?

Zero. How many die from alcohol? How many are abused, beaten down, or die in car accidents from alcohol? How many families are ripped apart by Wall Street’s alcohol? God only knows.

Marijuana is a plant, a sacred medicine created

by God. This is the message we should be sending: Children, when you come of age, you will have the power to heal yourselves using a medicine that comes directly from the Creator, no Wall Street middleman or paid-off physician required.

Tillamook County is still one of the best places to live on earth, despite the three county commissioners currently in office. Will some folks with intelligence and an understanding of reality please run against these guys when their terms expire? We deserve better.

Opportunities abound at Hoffman Center I moved to Manzanita with my husband, when we retired six years ago.

We wanted to live near the ocean. We had no idea we’d find such a great community here.

There are so many opportunities to become engaged in meaningful activities with local non-profits, including Cartm recycling, Lower Nehalem Land Trust, the

Silver-spotted tiger moths spotted nesting in Manzanita?

Yikes! Beware.

Destroy the invaders!

Everyday my wife, Renate, and I walk a remote path adjacent to the Manzanita Golf Course.

For the past several weeks we have stopped to look at a large nest of strange looking creatures whose numbers increase each day.

I have documented their progress with my trusty I-phone camera.

Last week, I became aware that these guys may be of concern as the branches of the pine trees where they nest were turning brown and dying because the needles were being eaten.

I then decided to go to Seven Dees Nursery where I showed the photos to a lady named Ivy. She is really good with plants and she said you have to do something immediately. A pest like Manzanita library, and an art center – Hoffman Center.

Hoffman Center is a place for people to create art of all kinds – at the Clay Studio, in the Writing Lounge, with the Life Drawing artists. The Hoffman Center is a place to be inspired at artistic events such as the Manzanita Writers’ Series with its Open Mic for local authors and stage performances with Liz Cole.

Hoffman Center is a place to have fun at the Film Series, Talent Shows and musical events. Hoffman Center is a place to be inspired at workshops and classes where you can improve writing, drawing, painting and guitar playing skills.

How fortunate members of the community are to have this art center available, right here in Manzanita!

I joined the Hoffman Center board because I am eager to see it thrive.

The completion of a few remodeling projects will make the center much more comfortable and inviting for everyone.

The Hoffman Center has some interesting events on the hoffmanblog.org calendar – Todd Miller reading from his book, Border Patrol Nation on April 17; the PoetryFest with workshops and readings on April 19; Karen Karbo reading from her

this is killing many trees in Eastern Oregon. She advised that I get in touch with Scott Thompson, of Oregon State University, in Astoria, an expert on plants. Scott was very thankful for the information and looked forward to seeing my photos.

As it turned out, we had to travel to Portland the following day, however, with today’s communication marvels.

I was unable to email the pictures from my phone to Scott from our car as Renate was doing the driving.

Within an hour we had an answer. Scott had forwarded the photos to Jim Reeb, a professor of forestry and natural resources in Newport. Scott Thompson had thought the creatures were silverspotted tiger moths. Jim Reed agreed. The insect likes to construct its webbook “Julia Child Rules” on May 2; and Beatles on Laneda, with local musicians performing on May 3.

Hope to see you at one of these events soon. If you have an idea for a new program, workshop, musical event, or other artistic activity, please let us know.

Non-profits in our community provide many ways to give and receive what we value in life. If you value art, if you value having an art center in town, please

bing on the south side of trees where they “bask” in the sun.

As it turns out, their damage is mainly local at the webbing site and not considered a major problem. They will go away and come back the following year. There will be dead branches, but not dead trees.

There are probably many hundreds of these nests in our trees. You can spot them by looking closely for pine trees with brown branches. I noticed another nest recently while walking my dog just three houses from mine here on Ridge Road near the golf course. If you have conifers and see these nests, destroy them to be safe.

Destroy the invaders!

As a retired disabled veteran (leg amputation in 1981/Air Force) I served to protect the values of America including democracy and freedom of speech so I was surprised Monday when John/Tim Walsh 86’d me from their store and contacted the police to remove me from their store because they disagree with my opinion on a local issue.

While people are dying in Egypt and Ukraine fighting for freedom of speech it’s sad that some in our community don’t support this freedom and I’m hopeful the Headlight Herald & North Coast Citizen will support our right to “freedom of speech” by printing this letter but staying neutral on the issue.

Port of Nehalem fined $6,000 by DSL

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

For the Port of Nehalem it’s the story that just won’t go away and over a year later, since its dredging of Deer Island Slough along Nehalem’s waterfront in early 2013, Port officials find themselves kneedeep in the muck leftover from the project.

At its meeting March 26, Port Commissioner Jim Peters, a newcomer to the commission, chastised his counterparts on how the Port does business stemming from how it handled the dredging project and the leftover “spoils” from the project that were deposited downstream.

Apparently, unbeknownst to Peters, the Port approved payment of a $6,000 fine due March 14, 2014 to the Department of State Lands (DSL) for its noncompliance in removing the spoils as directed by DSL in a letter dated June 7, 2013 and again directed the Port to remove the spoils from the Nehalem River.

In addition, the Port has enlisted the help of a Portlandbased law firm at a cost of $30,000 to represent it in hopes of not having to spend upwards of $200,000 to $300,000 more to eliminate the mounds created by the dredging.

Hopeful that the spoils would disperse by means of in-water disposal, a plan approved by the inter-agency review team prior to dredg-

West Wall of Center Room: Remove interior surface of the west wall of the center room, treat, insulate and sheetrock. Retain exterior metal siding.

Estimate: $3,800

Frustrated, Peters, in a letter dated March 3, 2014 to Port President Dale Stockton, reiterated his position on the subject expressed at the February meeting of the Port commissioners. “…I lobbied hard for the Port to bucket and barge out to a depth of -20 feet. I felt then, as I do now, that it is the right thing to do…I lost my bid 4 to 1.

“The wrong thing to do is accept a fine thinking that it is the least expensive route and which will bring the Corps and DSL into a permit enforcement mode…I think in the end both agencies will levy per diem fines until we bucket and barge the hump to -20 feet.”

“The Hoffman Center remains an important part of the culture of north Tillamook County, and we appreciate those who have helped make it grow over the past 10 years,” he added.

noted that an apparent attempt to disperse the mounded spoils was made December 28, 2013.

Stated Wheeler resident Ralph Thomas, who authored the article, “The Eland, owned

by Nehalem River Dredging Company, appeared in downtown Nehalem, positioned itself over the rock piles and allegedly proceeded to attempt to disperse the pile by ‘prop – washing.’”

An accompanying photo taken by a local resident showed the Eland “presumably dredging,” an activity requiring a permit.

Added Thomas, “The Port of Nehalem is the permit holder, not Nehalem River Dredging Company. … the response from the Port’s agent Bill Campbell who, choosing language carefully, advised DSL that the Port ‘did not hire the Eland,’ thus denying it

pleased with what their memorial gift to the community has provided.”

had a contract with Nehalem River Dredging Company to perform this work.”

Said Thomas, “That may be true. But what the Port did not say that it was complicit in any way with this event. To believe that the Port was not somehow involved, at least independently, is to…well, you be the judge.”

Meanwhile, the letter from Commissioner Peters to Stockton seems to indicate the Port was well aware of the Eland’s activity on its behalf.

“During our regularly scheduled meeting on December 18, 2013,” states Peters, “our board minutes show that you (Stockton) were asked to talk to Verne Scovell (owner of Nehalem River Dredging Company) about the possibility of doing a wheel wash or prop wash.

“On December 27, you called me and the other commissioners for a telephone vote. Your question was ‘Are you in favor of hiring the Eland to prop wash the hump area for $13,500? I agreed because I knew we had to disperse the hump anyway we could before February 15, 2014.”

The explanation as to why the payment of the $6,000

Astro & Odie

fine did not come up at a regularly scheduled board meeting was because the decree from DSL was received between meetings and had to be acted upon with in 15 days. Complicating matters, said Commissioner Rick Dart, was the unseasonable snowstorm that occurred in February, which meant mail sat in the mailbox and was not retrieved in a timely manner.

Stockton said he did communicate with other commissioners about payment of the fine by telephone, but apparently not Peters and fellow commissioner Lindy Scovell, son of Verne Scovell, who were unaware the fine had been levied and acted upon.

“Doesn’t it seem kind of strange to be explaining to a body of five what you have been up to between meetings?” asked Peters. “Why aren’t we following SDAO (Special Districts Association of Oregon) rules? We’re a body of five not a body of two or three.”

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Port of Nehalem Board of Commissioners is Wednesday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m., at its office inside the North County Recreation District in Nehalem.

sheet-rocked and painted.

Emergency and exterior lighting systems were upgraded, and storage space and access were improved.

“All this was done on a budget of about $26,000,” said Dillon. “Those funds were donated by local individuals and families, and stretched by the generosity of our local hardware stores and contractors.”

In 2012, the center raised enough funds through its “Heat the Hoff” campaign to replace the old, inefficient and noisy heating and air conditioning system with a modern, efficient and quiet heat pump.

“There are still problems with the building. It lets out too much heat and lets in too much water,” said Dillon. “The old carpeting also needs to be replaced, so the whole place will be more inviting and comfortable.”

The Hoffman Center board has listed six projects that need to be completed at a total cost of about $36,100. “We’ve already received a very generous targeted donation of $12,500 from a local family for the projects,” said Dillon. “So that’s a great start, but we need to raise more to get the work done this year.”

The six projects are: 1. East Wall: Replace the east wall. Install a full light commercial style door, two horizontal windows, exterior cedar

ing, the Port monitored the situation. To satisfy DSL it was a matter of taking soundings in the outfall area of Deer Island channel to determine if the spoils dispersed, work to be completed by January 1, 2014.

If the spoils had not dispersed, the Port was directed

by DSL to use a bucket to remove the spoils and restore the Nehalem River to pre- existing elevations. “Spoils,” stated Carrie Landrum, DSL Resource Coordinator, in a noncompliance letter dated June 7, 2013, “must be taken to an upland location or the Port must obtain authorization for ocean disposal. Corrective action must be complete by the end of the in-water work period, February 15, 2014. If the Port fails to follow this course of action, the Department may open an enforcement case and assess civil penalties.”

Corrective action as outlined by DSL did not happen, prompting the fine. The Port noted in its response by letter dated February 7, 2014 to DSL and the Army Corps of Engineers, that “while the residual materials are of concern they do not represent ‘an unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable water’ at this time or over the past year.”

Furthermore, the Port indicated that based on the “authority of present permits,” it could “conceivably contract for the removal of said materials by contract between November 1 and November

Visitors’ Center volunteers and staff get schooled

On Friday, Mar. 21, volunteers and staff of the Manzanita Visitors Center were treated to a history lesson by board members of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society. The joint effort between the two organizations was meant to educate the center’s volunteers and staff on local history of Manzanita, Nehalem, and Wheeler.

Despite advances in family-friendly laws – including the Equal Pay Act (1963), Family and Medical Leave Act (1993), and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (2005) – pay for women still lags far behind pay for men doing comparable work. In 2012, women, on average, earned 23% less than men did, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That means that a woman must work at least three months longer than her male counterpart in order to equal his earnings for the previous year.

This year, Equal Pay Day falls on Tuesday, April 8.

Pay equity is a family issue. Working families lose $200 billion in annual income due to the gender wage gap, according to a1999 study by the AFL-CIO and Institute of Women’s Policy Research.

Pay equity would reduce poverty rates. If single, working mothers earned as much as men doing comparable work, their poverty rates would be cut in half.

Tillamook PUD Board awards Community Grants

The Tillamook PUD Board of Directors has awarded funding under its 2014 Community Support Grant Program to eight nonprofit organizations in Tillamook County. Those receiving awards are the Marie Mills Center, to assist in the purchase of a bus; Tillamook Senior Citizen’s Club, for building insulation; Friends of North County Recreation District, for Phase 1 of its auditorium project; Tillamook Farmers Market, for a sound system; Tillamook Animal Shelter, for a water heater; Tillamook County Master Gardeners, for electrical work at their Demonstration Garden; Nestucca Valley Alliance, for a fence project; and, Latimer Quilt & Textile Center for window replacements.

Tillamook PUD developed the Community Grant Program to assist local nonprofit organizations in funding projects designed to promote economic growth

in Tillamook County. In evaluating and selecting projects for funding, the board focused on the enhancement of economic development, in addition to community livability, financial need and projects that would be completed by the end of the year.

Historically, and by statute, PUDs are formed not only to provide power, but also to promote economic development within their service areas. This is the 13th year the board has budgeted funds for the community grant program and feedback has been positive. Recipients have reported that in many cases, the PUD grants were instrumental in securing funding from additional sources.

Rockaway Lions presents ‘Easter gift’ to Nehalem Elementary

Every spring around Easter time the Rockaway Lions present $300 each to the Resource Centers of Nehalem and Garibaldi Elementary schools. This money goes to buy clothes, shoes, coats, swimsuits, towels, toothpaste and more for children.

If a child has an accident where they need a piece of clothing while in school they are provided with the article. These articles are loaned to the children and are returned back to the school. Some things may be given to a child who may need a warm coat or shoes and cannot afford them.

People can also donate needed items to them.

Writers’ Series presents author Todd Miller April 17

Todd Miller will read from his book, Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Frontline of Homeland Security, at the Hoffman Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 17.

(Please note that the event is on Thursday evening, rather than on the usual third Saturday of the month.)

Border Patrol Nation shows in stark relief how the entire country has become a militarized border zone, including cities that don’t immediately come to mind.

In fast-paced prose, Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles the changing landscape, speaking with the people most involved, from border patrol agents to government contractors to vulnerable immigrant communities. He combines these firsthand encounters with careful research to expose a vast and booming industry

for military grade weapons, high-end surveillance technology, and prisons. While politicians and corporations reap substantial profits, the experiences of millions of men, women, and children point to staggering humanitarian consequences that can no longer be ignored.

“In Border Patrol Nation, Todd Miller exposes the underpinnings of this ever-expanding surveillance state —military contractors that rake in fat profits and bloated government agencies that keep ex-

tending their tentacles while the core of our neighborhoods withers from neglect.

Miller reveals the humanity of both the victims and the victimizers, and the inhumanity of the system. A fantastic book,” says Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink and author of Drone Warfare: Killing

by Remote Control.

Following Miller’s reading and Q&A, Open Mic will feature up to nine local writers reading five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $5.

The event is a program of the Hoffman Center and will be held at the Hoffman Center, across from Manzanita Library, at 594 Laneda Ave. Further information is available at hoffmanblog. org online or contact Vera Wildauer, vwildauer@gmail. com.

The Writers’ Series Reading Group will meet the Tuesday prior to Todd’s reading, April 15, 6:30 p.m. at the Manzanita Library. Everyone is invited to bring a friend to both events.

Author Todd Miller will read from his book, Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Frontline of Homeland Security, at the Hoffman Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 17.

FRESH celebrates grand opening in Bay City featuring homemade soups, sandwiches, breakfast and lunch specials, and desserts to fill out the café menu.

Wednesday night dinners feature a variety of themes, traveling the world of cuisines right here in Tillamook County.

At the beginning of this year, the baskets and space for the local whole foods market began to fill with product. “It’s all about providing the best food for our community,” said Kiva, noting that the mission of FRESH is to bring the best quality fruits and vegetables (organic and non-GMO), bulk foods, herbal medicinals and other local products, sourced from within a 100mile radius when possible to the local area.

Similar to a community supported agriculture (CSA) subscription, FRESH is a “community-supportedenterprise.” Just like with a CSA, where you pay a local farmer up front for a season of produce, your investment with FRESH stocks the market and investors are paid back throughout 2014 through market and café purchases.

“We continue to add products to the market and as the season progresses, more and more wonderful fresh produce will be available,” said Kauffman. Now, fresh at FRESH are apples, cabbage, kale, spinach, peppers, citrus, mangoes; Zweifel Farms eggs and Bennett Family Farms fresh milk are also available.

There’s a lot of buzz about non-GMO and organic foods and knowing the source of your foods.

what I love to do – making healthy, nutritious great food for everyone.”

The idea for a whole, real, local foods market is a long-held dream of the original collective that formed Art Space over 25 years ago, which included Kiva’s parents Trisha and Craig, Shelly Bowe (now with Food Roots) and Michael Suchi and Peggy Maack. “To have a retail store in our local neighborhood with local produce, that’s Fresh,” said Kiva.

The ideas for FRESH Café’s menu were tested at the Manzanita Farmers Market last season, to rave “we want more” reviews. Among the offerings were the café’s signature smoothies, whole fruit juices and wheatgrass shots and soups. The ArtSpace Café re-opened as FRESH soon after the market season,

Spring cleaning at Manzanita library With the cherry tree in full bloom outside the main entrance to the Manzanita Branch Library, the North Tillamook Library Friends held a garden work party on Sunday, March 23, under clear skies. Karen Babbitt, vice chair of NTLB’s Maintenance Committee, organized the event in which volunteers cleared winter debris, added shrubs, and planted flowers to freshen the landscaping around the library for spring.

One of the most significant changes to the garden was the removal of the Manzanita tree in the front of the library. The board determined that the tree needed to be removed.

It had become a safety hazard as it extended into the sidewalk.

According to several local experts the tree was not healthy and in a condition to be transplanted successfully. The wood was donated to Kathleen Ryan, local artist, who plans to create a public art piece.

Cormorant hazing aims to protect young fish tinue in most areas through May 31 in the Nehalem, Nestucca, and Coquille river estuaries and in Tillamook and Alsea bays. The program could continue through July 31 in Astoria, where the Clatsop County Fisheries Project manages a salmon rearing program.

Hazing generally will take place during the morning and evening hours, when cormorants feed most actively, in the bays and estuaries where young fish tend to linger as they make the transition from fresh to salt water.

Hazing will involve driving at the birds in small boats and, in some estuaries, firing at them with small pyrotechnics. Hazing workers are being provided by the Clatsop County Fisheries Project, Port of Nehalem, Port of Bandon, North Coast Salmon and Steelhead Enhancement Fund, and Alsea Sportsmen’s Association. ODFW

The double-crested cormorant is a waterbird associated with inland waterways as well as on the coast. They catch fish by swimming and diving, and nest in trees, cliffs and on the ground on predator-free islands.

Cormorants are protected by international treaty and federal law.

will provide a portion of the funding and program oversight.

Hazing is designed to disrupt the birds’ feeding patterns long enough to give the young fish a chance to pass through the estuaries unharmed. The outbound migration of juveniles of several species of salmon and steelhead peaks in springtime. Some of these spring migrants, such as coho salmon, wild steelhead, and chum salmon, are listed by the state as sensitive species that are at some degree of conservation risk. Coho salmon are listed as “threatened” in Oregon under the Endangered Species Act. Cormorant hazing is expected to benefit both listed wild fish and hatchery fish, which are not listed but are vital to commercial and recreational fisheries on the coast.

In a separate but related project, ODFW staff will collect up to 50 doublecrested cormorants each in Tillamook Bay and at the mouths of the Rogue and Umpqua rivers. This is part of an ongoing study that will assess the diet of doublecrested cormorants in Oregon estuaries. Oregon has a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that allows for limited collection of

double-crested cormorants, a protected species under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Hazing of double-crested cormorants is set to begin soon in several areas along the Oregon coast in an attempt to improve survival of juvenile salmon and steelhead as they migrate from inland waters to the Pacific Ocean.

Double-crested cormorants are large, fisheating waterbirds that occur throughout Oregon, and are particularly prevalent in the state’s estuaries during April through September. Research suggests that cormorants may eat significant numbers of juvenile salmon and steelhead that migrate to the ocean during this time.

To reduce threat to young fish, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is working with several nonprofit and local governmental organizations to haze cormorants in six coastal estuaries over the next two to four months.

Hazing will take place as early as March 27 and con-

they have found out that an individual will burn 20 percent more fat if they exercise on an empty stomach.

On top of that, they will not binge because of an increased appetite during that day. Their bodies are happy, well exercised and running lean.

It’s really very simple, if you aren’t hungry don’t eat. Don’t force breakfast because you think you have to have it. Our bodies, which haven’t evolved much in the last 10,000 years, tell us when they are hungry – loud and clear. Learn to listen to your body’s hunger and “break-fast,” when you finally feel the hunger.

I usually don’t eat till 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This small 16-18 hour fast is called intermittent fasting in the nutrition world and gives your body a nice break from all the food processing.

Now, when you do “break-fast,” focus on low glycemic foods like vegetables and protein. You will feel so much better all day long, have more energy and lose those pesky pounds. Foods that cause your insulin to spike like cereal, oatmeal, (yes, oatmeal) pancakes, donuts or

bagels and cream cheese, ya know, simple carbs, are not that healthy for you coming off a fast.

One great trick to being able to hold off till you’re hungry is to have readymade foods that are super easy to grab when you are ready to eat a bear. Breakfasts made in a muffin pan are a great way to enjoy low glycemic foods on the go or even for a special occasion. They are all the rage. So much so that there is one food blog devoted exclusively to muffin pan mania. I can see why, it really is a good idea. You can bake a few days of breakfasts in one fell swoop and they are portable and nutritious. Feel free to let your imagination run wild on these little nuggets and come up with your own ideas.

muffin soggy. (And, be careful with the tomatoes!) You can make these in individual ramekins too for a dressier affair, served with a fruit salad and a sparkling orange juice for a lovely Easter brunch. Makes 8-10 muffin omelets or 4 ramekins.

All RE/MAX offices are independently owned and operated.

Basic recipe:

8 eggs 1/4 cup of milk, cream or nut milk 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon of pepper 8 ounces of cooked meat like sausage, bacon or ham 1/2 cup of diced onions, green onions or shallots 1 cup of veggies chopped, like broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers 1/2 cup of cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 banger muffin pan with something greasy, preferably coconut oil or butter. While the oven is heating, prep all your goodies and whip the eggs with the milk or water, and salt and pepper. Crumble the meat and put in the bottom of the muffin pans, then sprinkle in the onions and veggies and cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the goodies in the muffin cups. (Don’t overfill the cups, or they run all over the oven. I found that out the hard way.) Then pop in the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes till the centers are set.
