hree-hundred and fifteen pounds of microplastic and marine debris was collected from Manzanita’s beach over the course of six days in 2015, according to Kate Eskew, project coordinator and volunteer. On June 18, Eskew and her team will do it again and said she is seeking funding and volunteers to extend the clean up. “I liken it to getting after blackberries,” she said. “Left unaddressed, things build over time, like blackberries. We may never get it all, but we get a more reasonable situation.” Marc Ward of Seaside and president of the non-profit Sea Turtles Forever said, “Microplastics have been ingested at every level of the food web, at this point.” Microplastics are a material that is left over when larger macroplastics are broken down, he added. Bottles, car parts and plastic bags break down to one-half to five millimeters and are consumed by sea life, starving them, he said.

Citizen photo by Jordan Wolfe Wheeler’s post office, located within the heart of the city, is closed indefinitely following water damage from the December storms that went weeks without being cleaned. The building is environmentally unfit for the employees of the USPS now.

he post office in Wheeler has been closed for five months following the storms in December and, according to city manager Geoff Wullschlager, nobody knows when it will be operating again. “The storms affected our post office in a way that caused water inundation. We knew the longer the water sat there, the worse the situation would become,” he said. And sit there, it did. Wullschlager said that the environmental factors, such as rot and black mold, has caused the building to be unsafe for USPS employees. The responsibility, he added, ultimately falls on the owner of the building. She lives a state away and leases the building to the USPS. Nobody who had legal access opened the building in a timely manner to allow any clean-up, he added. “Why did the building sit for two weeks when it could have been cleaned within 24 to 48 hours?” Stevie Stephens Burden, mayor of Wheeler, said her citizens now have to claim their mail as “General Delivery” from the front desk of Nehalem’s post office. They can only get their mail during operating hours: 8 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. “This has created a hardship on the com-

munity. A large segment of our population is retired and another portion doesn’t work near their home.” Burden said that residents have had vital pieces of mail and time-sensitive documents sent back or unclaimed. Items such as retirement checks, mortgage statements, insurance information and children’s Christmas presents were returned to sender. Communication has also been an issue for the city of Wheeler, according to both Burden and Wullschlager. Burden said, “We have requested to meet with the Postal Service. We invited them to the city to talk, but we haven’t had much of a response.” Wullschlager adds that the city has not heard from the postal service since February. “We have not had communication that has assisted us to provide up-to-date information for our citizens,” he said. “The city is limited with what we can do because we are not a party in this situation,” he said. “This is a private issue between two private businesses.” Work began on the building, but has since been suspended indefinitely due to escalating costs, he added. “It will now require an exorbitant amount of money to get the building working in a condition suitable for the post office,” Wul-

She will soon be going to a field training in Salem to learn about preserving cemeteries properly, like how to remove moss without damaging cement. “Part of our job is envisioning what the families intended for the plot and restoring it while doing no harm to the monuments or the site,” Vines Magee said.

improve the look. “That plot was caved in, almost like a bath tub,” said Lyla Hendrickson, treasurer of Nehalem Valley Historical Society. Vines Magee said she brought the idea to beautify the cemetery to the Nehalem Valley Historical Society, whom she said have been very supportive and Hendrickson was instrumental in getting the project up and running. Among improvements that are planned, Vines Magee said that they are receiving grant money and donations to build a fence along the road, include interpretive stations and create a sign. “There has never been an entry sign for the cemetery. Grant money will

pay for that,” she said. Vines Magee said finding a first donor can be difficult and is happy that Nehalem Bay Garden Club was their first. Other funding has come from the Tillamook County Cultural coalition and the City of Nehalem. “If we get a crew going, I think we’ll be able to create a permanent support system for this site and maybe only do annual touch-ups,” Vines Magee said. “The city has done an amazing job maintaining the site, but they need help and support. “What a special place this is.” For more information, or to volunteer, contact Val Vines Magee at vinesmagee@gmail.com.

the Post Office’s closure after flooding damaged the building. Because the Wheeler Post Office is in a leased facility, we are continuing to work with the owner of the building to ensure the necessary repairs are made and the building is deemed safe for our employees and customers. We thank our customers for their patience.” Hass, however, provided no other information, and was

fairly unaware of the situation. He added that there is no standard time frame to reopen when a facility is not owned by the USPS. Burden said, “We’re only 400 people, but we deserve a response.” The public is invited to a town hall meeting on May 17 at 5 p.m. in the Masonic Lodge to address the issue and options the city of Wheeler is pursuing.

n Plastic Continued from Page A1 The highest concentration of microplastic in Manzanita, Eskew said, is a two feet band along the high tide mark. The area where families tend to gather. She said a professor in Japan did toxicology studies on the free-floating toxins that microplastic absorbs and identified them as endocrine disruptors. Sea life, pets and children are the most susceptible. “The microplastics settle and people build fires along this band. They’re cooking hot dogs over it, children put it in their mouths and dogs lick it.” She explains that plastic has been dumped into the ocean since the material was created in the 50s. “What’s coming in is very old for it to have broken down to the small size we’re

seeing.” How microplastic is able to be collected, Eskew said, is through a revolutionary screen created by Marc Ward of Seaside, and president of the non-profit Sea Turtles Forever. Ward said, “We developed a filtration system that’s simple, low-cost, manual and needs no fuel or outside energy.” The screen, he explains, is made of a type of polymer material that emits a lowlevel electro-static charge that captures all plastics as it sifts through the sand. Plastics as small as 50 micrometers, the thickness of a piece of paper, are able to cling to the screen to be discarded. He said, “As long as we keep removing these microplastics from these high density sites, we’re filtering the ocean - which has been impossible up to this time.” High-density sites are flagged because the ocean current repeatedly drops large deposits of microplastic to

the same spots on the Earth, according to Ward. The Manzanita and Neahkahnie Beach area is one of them. Eskew said that Ward needs to duplicate himself, so the next best thing is to train volunteers and have screens in communities to be accessed. She said there will be a short workshop on marine microplastic and filtration training in the morning and then proceed to a cleanup. “This issue is a global issue,” Ward said, “Our goal is to filter every site on Earth that has high density landfall of this material. For more information, contact Kate Eskew at microplasticfreekate@gmail.com. To donate, visit seaturtlesforever.org and earmark the funds to Manzanita. The Manzanita beach cleanup will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the end of Laneda, on the beach, with a training workshop at 9 a.m. and an hour break for lunch on June 18.

Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay encourages community to be ready for natural disasters By Jordan Wolfe

jwolfe@countrymedia.net

Floods that maroon our coastal towns, pounding rains that wash away our roads and blackouts that thaw our freezers are among the natural hazards to life on the Oregon Coast. The Emergency Volunteer Corps (EVC) of Nehalem Bay wants to expand the conversation about what our communities need to do in the wake of a natural disaster. To continue a culture of readiness and preparation, the EVC held their annual meeting on April 18 at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita. Linda Kozlowski, president of the EVC, discussed a new program to encourage the community to build a fully loaded GoBag, described as “the bare essentials to grab and go when your house is on fire, is damaged by a disaster or a

tsunami is rapidly approaching,” ideally with enough supplies to keep someone warm, dry, fed, and hydrated for up to three days.” According to Kozlowski, the new program will be called “GoCoffees” and be get-togethers to have coffee or tea, where one person with a fully loaded GoBag will upturn its contents and identify every item in it, in a show-and-tell style. During the afternoon meeting, Kozlowski awarded volunteers Betsy Chase and husband Paul Knight as the most valuable team of the EVC. “Being prepared needs to start with individuals and households. I am privileged to be associated with this organization,” Chase says. “It is a good example of how to build a community around things that matter.” Knight says of their award, “It’s a little overwhelming! We’re really involved. We’re making this com-

munity our community. My wife has been amazing. She is on the recycling and library committees. She’s just a powerhouse. I follow her lead.” Chase presented the results from a recent survey she created and conducted within the Nehalem Bay area. 446 households responded to the survey, around 21 percent of all households. Chase says of those that responded, 14 percent feel prepared for a natural disaster and aftermath, 60 percent feel somewhat prepared and the final 26 percent self-reported themselves as being totally unprepared. The presentation shifted towards preparation and fallout from a 9.0 earthquake from the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Director of Oregon Emergency Management, Andrew Phelps says “If people began preparing for the worst - like the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, then disasters such as the wind and rain

storm last December don’t become so bad.” Phelps gave a presentation with liveliness and levity about the state of readiness in Oregon. “The Cascadia Subduction Zone did not come up during the interview. I had just spent the last seven years in New Mexico. I didn’t know how to spell or pronounce ‘tsunami.’” Phelps says that oftentimes the government and citizens become short-sighted when it comes to preparedness. He explained his belief with the example of the United States’ heavy emphasis on terrorism prevention post-9/11 that Hurricane Katrina made the country realize that other disasters could happen too. In a recent survey from Salem’s Statesman Journal, Phelps says only seven or eight percent of Oregonians feel prepared for a natural disaster. “Oregonians are more ready

than they think,” Phelps says. “We have this great outdoor culture that lends itself to preparedness. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on fancy gadgets.” Being clever and savvy was also a talking point for Phelps. “Most people think they don’t have 40 gallons of water ready,” he says, “but you have a water heater, don’t you?” Those in attendance for the annual meeting provided a lively energy and asked well-informed and intelligent questions of the guest panel that consisted of Phelps, County Commissioner Mark Labhart, Senator Betsy Johnson and the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries director, Brad Avy. For more information, or to get involved with the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay, contact President Linda Kozlowski at president@evcnb.org or visit evcnb.org.

Commentary/News

Like watching a movie without an end! T

he current political scene is a mystery and for some of us even a bit comical. Nobody seems to like the current regime and everyone promises big changes, but offer few hints just how it is all supposed to work. Being a member of the very advanced senior citizen population we could offer some suggestions, but every request from candidates or their party comes with an expected financial contribution. Nobody suggests that we might be spending too much money and surely the media doesn’t mind the struggle and do offer varied points of view. I am so old that I remember the day that FDR died and witnessed the panic that most people experienced when they realized that a very unknown person was advancing to the Presidents position. Harry Truman was hardly known but surely when that term was over he would be replaced. Nobody

could imagine that he would one day make earth shaking decisions that brought about the end of the war that was raging all over the world I was eighteen years old when the election of 1948 was held and it proved to be a huge upset when Truman won over Dewey. It didn’t look like he had a chance and newspaper headlines in eastern cities were published celebrating Dewey’s victory. President Truman was a very plain spoken person and was called by some “Give them hell Harry”. His remarks while brusk were always well thought out and no matter which party a person might belong to they had to respect his wisdom. Eventually there were plays and movies dedicated to celebrate his contributions to the world. The ensuing years included the use of the atomic bomb and the end of World War 11 and the war that nobody saw coming in

fault in just about everything that our government and our citizens have done since our nation was founded. Sure there were some mistakes made along the way, but you will find even larger problems in other parts of the world. There are those who see discrimination in every corner and I have to say that things look a heck of a lot better than when I was a kid. Much progress has been made but it will never satisfy everyone and I often question the motives of those who see demonstrations and violence as the only way to solve the problems they perceive.

display their flags and towns have flags flying. I have been privileged to help place those flags along the main street and they certainly do brighten up the place. Many people wave and toot their horns while giving a thumbs up signal. This year you will note something different as you drive in to Wheeler. With the approval of the City Council we have elected to have flags on the city signs on both ends of town. They are properly lighted for the night time hours and will fly 24 hours a day to let everyone know how much we love our flag and our nation. No matter who wins the contest that will drag on for the next few months we will continue to demonstrate that freedom and democracy will continue to be our passion and full time responsibility. This movie will have an end that some of us will live to see.

Lower Nehalem Watershed Council speaker series announced An Overview of the Oregon Marine Reserves Human Dimensions Research Program How are individuals, communities, ocean users and economies affected when areas of our ocean are set aside for conservation? Join Lower Nehalem Watershed Council on May 12 as we welcome Dr. Tommy Swearingen, Human Dimensions Research Project Leader for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Reserves Program, for a presentation on the Program’s ongoing research to assess the socioeconomic impact of marine reserves. Oregon has designated five marine reserve sites, located at Cascade Head (near Lincoln City), Otter Rock (near Newport), Cape Perpetua (near Yachats), Redfish Rocks (near

Port Orford), and most recently Cape Falcon (near Manzanita). The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for managing and scientifically monitoring these five sites. The goal of the Human Dimensions Project is to assess the socioeconomic impact of marine reserve implementation and to perform research that informs nearshore management. Learn more about Oregon’s Marine Reserves at http://www.oregonmarinereserves.org/. The Lower Nehalem Watershed Council is exited to partner with the Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve to bring this noteworthy presentation on the social science side of marine reserves research to the North Coast.

sions research, working in conjunction with a multitude of research partners in academia and the private sector. He received his Doctorate degree in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources from the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences in 1989. He’s worked on large-scale social science research projects for the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute and numerous agencies. His research has focused on recreational visitor management, environmental ethics, tourism, and community development. Tommy grew up in New Orleans, owned a 1,100 acre farm in Alabama, and is a former kayak and canoe instructor trainer. The presentation will

be held at the Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Ave, in Manzanita. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for refreshments.

R & R Espresso approaches 25 years in business By Jordan Wolfe

jwolfe@countrymedia.net

Lattes! Cappuccinos! Doubleshot-no-whip-extra-foam-vanillaalmond-white-chocolate-mochas! R & R Espresso is nearing its 25th anniversary, next year, and owner Gloria Robben reflected on being the second coffee shop to open in Rockaway Beach, in 1992. “Before opening, we were filling out paperwork and the person working said another coffee shop had just done the same thing,” Robben said. “I thought ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’” Nearly 25 years, and a few locations later, Robben and her daugh-

ter, Jamie Holt, are making drinks and preparing food in their trailer, amongst a sea of coffee beans, syrups and to-go cups. “I can’t even imagine what else I would do, I love coffee. I’ll be here till I can’t stand anymore, or my arms don’t work,” Robben said. Robben said Holt has worked off-and-on, since 2000. “She’s my favorite employee and my partner. Not legally, but she’s still my partner,” Robben said. In 2008, she sold her original downtown Rockaway location and moved to Redmond. “The restaurant was a lot of work - just too much. I wanted to downsize

and get a coffee kiosk. We did that during the collapse of 2008, then Dutch Bros. moved in.” Robben said she returned in 2011, after her coffee representative told her of a trailer available back in Rockaway Beach, and has been there since. “I love being on the coast. I love being apart of this community. In Redmond, I was anonymous,” she said. “Rockaway is home.” Aside from the caffeinated fare, R & R Espresso offers gyros, burgers, chicken-bacon-ranch wraps, biscuits and gravy and breakfast burritos. Robben adds that they are famous for their scones and coffee cake.

“I had a regular customer who used to call our apricot almond scones ‘hockey pucks,’ as a joke, so I stuffed bits of paper towel in one of the scones and baked it in to give to him as a prank.” Robben gave it to him free of charge and said that when he didn’t react while eating it, she was mortified to realize that she had already sold the pranked scone. Years later, the customer she attempted to prank revealed that he actually did get the paper towel scone - and ate every bite. In her time in Rockaway, Robben said she enjoys the relationships that have been built. “It’s fun. We have a customer

who first started coming when their child was four or five, now they’re graduating high school this year.” She also recounted a fourth grader whom helped make the original menu boards with her sister-in-law. The boy is now a father, who still comes in. Robben said, “That’s the stuff that’s invaluable - the ties.” R & R Espresso is located at 610 North HWY 101 Rockaway Beach, in the same lot as D’Viener Vendor food cart, and currently open every day from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, or to place an order to go, call (503)355-3315.

Manzanita book sale returns Memorial Day weekend An annual Memorial Day tradition plays out May 27 and 28 in Manzanita, as the North Tillamook Library hosts its book sale featuring thousands donated books. It’s a sale that has become so big in recent years that it’s at two locations: The Hoffman Center for the Arts (549 Laneda Ave.) and Pine Grove Community House three blocks away (225 Laneda). “We’ve always have a great se-

lection; fiction, non-fiction, hardback, paperback, children’s books, coffee table books and more,” said Ann Morgan, longtime Library Friend and coordinator of this year’s sale. The sale begins Friday evening, May 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. in which members of the Friends of the Library get first crack at this year’s selection. If you are not a member, have no fears. Accord-

ing to Morgan you can join the evening of the presale - $10 for an individual membership and $15 for a family. The following day, Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the general public is invited to comb the shelves and tables for good deals on “gently used” books. The books at the Hoffman Center are non-fiction and include cookbooks, biographies, humor, nature, gardening, history, reli-

gion, self-help, reference, general interest and coffee table books. One can find fiction books at the Pine Grove Community House - novels, mysteries, science fiction, poetry, romances and children’s books. The book sale, held every year over the Memorial Day weekend, is the major fundraiser for the North Tillamook County Friends to provide maintenance to the

Manzanita library. The books have been donated by members of the community, and volunteers sort and price them year-round. Over 100 volunteers from Wheeler, Nehalem and Manzanita volunteer to make the book sale a success. Mark your calendars and the days of the sale, Morgan gives this one piece of advice: “The earlier you come, the better the pickings.”

Call goes out for quilt and fiber art Quilters and fiber artisans from Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler and surrounding areas are invited to submit their works for an August show at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita. The show will be collaboration between the Center and Creative Fabrics in Wheeler. Interested artists are asked to provide a photo and size dimensions for their entry.

Ten years and counting: Salt & Paper owners celebrate anniversary It’s been 10 years since Dietmar Krueger and Stephanie Simpson, opened Salt & Paper on Laneda Ave. in Manzanita. It was on Mother’s Day 2006 to be exact and to celebrate the couple is offering 20 percent off items throughout the store this coming Mother’s Day, May 8, 2016. “It’s one big thank you to the community and local artists that have supported us over the years,” said Dietmar. The business took root shortly after the couple moved to Manzanita. It was the people, their kindness, that prompted the newcomers to move following a vacation on the north Oregon coast. “We decided to move here almost immediately,” Stephanie noted at the time, and, with them, they brought a plan to open a retail business featuring art supplies, greeting cards, stationery, gifts, crafts, office supplies, outdoor pottery and seasonal plants. Services, such as copy and fax, along with scanning and digital imaging, would soon follow.

Opportunity presented itself when retail space became available following the closure of a Chinese restaurant. After an extensive remodel, the couple - Dietmar with his love of the arts and Stephanie with her analytic abilities realized their dream. Ten years later, the two are still very thankful to be in Manzanita, especially after 2015, a year in which the business took a backseat to the needs of Stephanie’s cancer-stricken mom, who lived with them her final months. The 24/7 commitment proved to be a stressful and emotional roller coaster for both Stephanie and Dietmar. If it seemed they were missing in action at Salt & Paper, it was because they were. “We’re incredibly thankful to our staff and the community for their help during this time,” Stephanie said, searching for the words that seemed to fall short in expressing her heartfelt gratitude. “The community reached out and took care of us.” “It blew us away,” Dietmar added. “There was so

much genuine warmth and support.” During their leave of absence, store employee Brenda Smith successfully took over the daily operations of the business. Sunshine Erdman, Kerry Allen and Gabe Calkins, in particular, were instrumental in keeping the doors of Salt & Paper open without missing a beat. Since the passing of her mom, life has slowly returned to normal, albeit a “new normal,” for Stephanie and Dietmar. More often than not, you’ll see one or the other at the store, though Dietmar, an avid photographer, spends more time in his studio (dstudioimages. com) involved in the creative process. His images are on display throughout the store, but he’s certainly not the only local artist whose creativeness and talent is on display at Salt & Paper. During the past decade, the store has become a show place for local artists; not by accident, but by design. “We’re totally attached to the local art commu-

nity and we’re thrilled we can show the works, the creative moments, of local artists,” Dietmar said. Asked if they would do it all again, the answer was an emphatic yes. The couple is already looking forward to the next ten years. “You’ll have to drag us out of here,” said Stephanie with a laugh. “It’s everything we dreamed. This community is our extended family and that proved to be so very true during 2015.” “Altogether, it’s been a real pleasure,” added Dietmar. “Since the beginning, we’ve received so much support.” Hence the “big thank you” as Salt & Paper, which is open daily 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., celebrated its ten-year anniversary on Sunday, May 8 - Mother’s Day.

18th annual Trash Art Show: A unique annual tradition showcases creative re-use turned artful beauty “Trash Art” is the moniker that stuck 18 years ago when this unique show was first birthed at CARTM. In those days, the “trash” artwork, made with all recycled materials, was hung in close proximity to the trash and sometimes it was hard to tell the difference. Now, in its 18th year—Trash Art has found its home, its fans and its creators. The art made with upcycled, repurposed, re-use creativity shows beautifully in a real gallery, with real lighting awaiting the walls and gardens of the those who come to purchase these unique pieces. The annual show opens at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem on Friday, May 13

and runs through Sunday, May 15. “NCRD has been central to our community since its origins as a school,” said lead show organizer Carl Vandervoort. “The opening of the gallery 12 years ago has added a formal exhibition space for art to all the ways NCRD builds community: public pool and fitness spaces, class rooms for pre-school and adult classes, the newly restored theater and affordable event and meeting venues. Having CARTM’s annual celebration of re-use and art fits right in to the cultural mix of this special local resource.” The annual show opens with a ticketed preview and celebration with the artists on Friday

night from 5 - 7 p.m.. The $25 advance purchase ticket includes snacks and beverages, mingling with the artists and first chance to purchase the unique creations made with all recycled materials. A few tickets are still available at the Refindery cashier at CARTM, Thursday and Friday during open hours. The Trash Art Show continues it run, free and open to the public, Saturday, May 14, from 10 a.m. 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 15, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. The show is an all-volunteer effort. The 2016 Trash Art Show is produced by a team of four who makes sure the art gets in the door and hung in visually interesting ways, puts on a great party

with the artists and takes care of sales. “The idea of an activist board of directors really resonates with me,” said Vandervoort, CARTM Board member and lead producer of the Trash Art Show, “that CARTM can make use of the resources and skills board members bring to the table. In my case, eight years on the Sitka Art Invitational committee and “hanging crew” makes it easy to visualize interesting ways to present the results of our community’s amazing artistic “re-use” ideas. I tend to think of planning and bringing off the Trash Art Show as building rather than organizing, and we have a very talented and experience team of builders.

The Trash Art Show team includes Susan Walsh, CARTM board member along with Deb DeWit, Claudia Johnson and CARTM executive director Karen Reddick-Yurka. The Trash Art Show is a beloved tradition on the North Coast and creative fundraiser for CARTM—a unique trio of services: reuse, refuse and recycling. CARTM accepts over 40 different materials for recycling at no charge and is home to the inspiring and creative reuse mecca, The Refindery.

Lady Pirates sweep past winless Dragons

Neah-Kah-Nie picked up three crucial softball wins over Delphian to lock up fourth place in the Northwest League softball race. The Pirates picked up a 27-1 win Tuesday on the road, then returned to Rockaway Beach Friday for a 14-4 and a 24-0 pair of victories. That closed out the league schedule for the Pirates with a 7-8 record in league (7-12 overall). Going into the final week of league play for most teams, 10 th-ranked Vernonia is still unbeaten in league play with 12 victories. Knappa is second with a Citizen Photos by Brad Mosher 10-2 record, while Gaston is Cheyenne Rohweder tries to clear the bar in the High Jump event at the Northwest meet in Rockaway Beach Thursday. Neah-Kah-Nie girls placed 2nd overall to Nestucca in the competithird with a 10-5 mark. tion. Rohweder finished 2nd in the 100 meter dash and she tied for 2nd in the high jump. She was also on the first place 1600 meter relay team.

Clifford leads Lady Pirates to silver, boys take fourth Nestucca dominated the Northwest League Relay event at Neah-Kah-Nie Thursday as the teams prepare for next week’s district championships at Portland Christian. Nestucca won both the boys (166 points) and the girls divisions (162 points). City Christian (118.5), Vernonia (96), Neah-Kah-Nie (95) and Knappa (58) rounded the top five team finishers in the boys division. In the girls’ team race, it was Neah-Kah-Nie taking a close second (132 points), followed by Vernonia (86.5), Knappa (54) and Faith Bible (53) in the top five team finishes. The Neah-Kah-Nie track teams will head to Portland Christian in Portland Friday for the two-day for the Northwest League district level competition. The top finishers there will go to the state championships at

Hayward Field in Eugene May 19 and May 20. Neah-Kah-Nie freshman Tristan Bennett picked up thirds in all three throwing events. Bennett still has the second best league throw in the shot put, but he is still short of making the top 10 in the 2A.He needs to improve by two feet to crack into the 2A top 10. In the discus, Bennett is fourth best in the league with a throw of 112 feet, six inches. In order to make the 2A top 10 list in the event, he would need to improve by nine more feet. In the javelin, Bennett’s best of 145 feet, five inches puts him third in the league, but to make the top 10 among the 2A throwers, Bennett needs more than three more feet. In the hurdles, Nestucca packed a one-two punch in both the 110-meter and 300-meter

events. Wyatt McKillip won both races, edging ahead of teammate Cody Kirkendall over the final hurdles in each event. McKillip finished with 17.40 seconds in the shorter race, and 43.93 in the 300-meter race. Kirkendall had times of 17.56 seconds and 44.27 seconds. Neah-Kah-Nie’s Dylan Mitchell was third in both races with times of 18.90 seconds and 46 seconds.

Clifford leads Pirates to silver Neah-Kah-Nie junior Katie Clifford finished with the best marks in not only the long jump (14 feet, 7.5 inches), but the 100 meters as well (13.64 seconds). Clifford is still third on the list when it comes to 2A leapers, but she still has the best Northwest League mark by more than a foot. Clifford’s 100-meter time is also the fastest logged yet this year by a Northwest League com-

petitor. Clifford also helped the team place second in the 400-meter relay with teammates Ashley Henderson, Nicole Henderson and Cheyenne Rohweder (55.65 seconds). Rohweder also placed second in the 100 meters in 13.72, putting her third among the league’s sprinters in the event.

If life gives you lemons……rejoice!

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia “For mad scientist who keep brains in jars, here’s a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar for freshness?” Jack Handy y mother returned M from L.A. recently, with a very large box of

lemons, picked fresh from her brother’s tree. They are beautiful to behold, large, glossy, organic, (if you don’t count the smog film on them) and free! My imagination began to fill full of lemony food dreams like sorbet, bars, cookies, vinaigrettes and classic lemon grilled fish. Oh but there is so much more to do with a lemon! There is something about lemons that is so sunshine, smiles and Clark Kent. But don’t let this benign beauty fool you, they happen to be the super hero among fruit. They are good for everything. Need a face cleaner? Lemons mixed with aloe vera work great. Need an antibacterial? Lemons! Or how about a cure for scurvy? (I know that is a real problem these days.) Yes, lemons. How about need to get rid of the smell of garlic from your hands? Lemons. Scrub the toilet to clean and disinfect? Lemons once more. Okay, that’s enough; I think I’ve proved my point, that lemons are capable of leaping buildings. Lemons, as you can

expect, are blazing with nutritional goodness too. They are super charged with vitamin C and are a bonzer of an anti-inflammatory, so consequently helps battle a million different diseases. Lemons also have this readily absorbable special power compound called limonoids, that are like kryptonite to cancer cells. Limonoids actually stay in your body for up to 48 hours after eating them too. Pretty super. Here just a few tips and trivia on this marvelous fruit. • Bring lemons up to room temperature and roll them on a hard surface before juicing them. (You can stick them in the microwave for 20 seconds if you are in a hurry.) This will get so much more juice. • Rub lemons on your cutting boards to clean, deodorize and disinfect. • You can run lemon peels through your garbage disposal to kill bad smells crawling out of there. (Makes the house smell good too!) • A squeeze of lemon in your food will make the flavors pop. Try it in your favorite soups, salads and meats. It is a great way to reduce your salt intake. • Mix 2 tablespoons of lemon in a cup of water to drink, first thing in the morning and it will aid in digestion and give your liver a boost. • The aroma of lemons lifts the spirits, calms anxieties, centers the mind and helps improve the memory. • Squirt lemon juice on apples or avocado to keep from oxidizing So next time you look at that garden variety lemon, remember that there lies a super hero full of surprises. This recipe is delicious on any white fish. Hubby came home with rock fish, fresh off his fishing pole, so that is what we used. Rock fish is also called red snapper or snapper by a lot of restaurants and fish mongers. Make sure that whatever fish you use, does not smell fishy or is the least bit slimy when you buy it. Make sure and use organic lemons, particularly when using the zest.

Lemon Fennel Rock Fish with Lemon Tzatziki

Lemon Fennel Rock Fish with Lemon Tzatziki 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind ¼ cup of lemon juice 2 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds, crushed 3-4 garlic cloves, minced A few cranks of pepper ½ teaspoon of salt 4 nice fillets of rock fish Mix together all the ingredients except the

fish in a ziplock bag, (that doesn’t have holes, unlike yours truly). Add the fish to the marinade and set in the fridge for an hour while you prepare the tzatziki, scrub the grill and dance in the sun. When the time is up, heat up the grill or the broiler in the oven, after you have brushed the grill rack with oil. Cook the fish just long enough to find a spatula, about 6 to 8 minutes. If you are cooking on the grill,

keep the lid closed. Serve with the tzatziki, a wedge of lemon, and whole wheat couscous. (Available at Manzanita Deli) Lemon Tzatziki 1 cup of non-fat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon of lemon juice 1 cucumber, peeled and grated 2-3 garlic cloves, pressed

Spoon the yogurt into a piece of cheesecloth (you can use heavy duty paper towels for this too) and gather up into a ball. Squeeze it gently (gently!) to get rid of some of the moisture. This step can be skipped if you want; it just makes a runnier tzatziki. Scrap the yogurt into a small bowl using a rubber spatula. Add everything else to the yogurt and stir well. Serve with the fish and eat with life!
