MAN ON A MISSION

Manzanita police officer Mike Sims makes a ‘Run For The Wall’ By Hal McMahan and Dave Fisher The Citizen

Manzanita police officer and volunteer firefighter Mike Sims will leave on May 10, on his motorcycle, for Los Angeles and then on to Washington D.C. as part of the 2014 Run For The Wall. “If it wasn’t for these veterans I wouldn’t be able to do my job and enjoy the freedom I do,” said Sims. “For me, it’s not a trip, it’s a mission.” Run For The wall was started in 1989 as an effort by James Gregory and Bill Evans, a couple of Vietnam veterans who traveled across the heartland of America on motorcycles, talking to local radio, TV stations and newspapers about the fact that America had thousands of men and women still unaccounted for, from all wars. That’s why Sims, who will spend all of his accrued vacation at the Manzanita Police Department, is looking forward to be part of the Run For The Wall. “It’s important to me to help bring attention to the fact that we still have MIAs,” he said. The need for this awareness continues today and the traditional ride across the country, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, happens every May. Sims was a part of The Run last year and got as far as Texas with his fellow bikers

before he had to turn around and come home. It was a situation of not having enough vacation time to make it all the way to Washington D.C. He came home determined to make it all the way in 2014. The participants don’t give political speeches or stage demonstrations. Run For The Wall gets its message across to the public by riding across the United States. Riders obey all traffic laws and treat all citizens with dignity and respect. Participants range in age from eight to eighty and include mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers, some of who ride their own bikes. Among them are veterans from World War 11, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq Freedom and Afghanistan, active military, supporters, friends and family. Everyone is welcome. The mail rule is: No attitudes. Apart from raising public awareness, veterans receive the opportunity to experience their own welcome home and start the healing process. By his action, Sims is paying tribute to his uncle who served in Vietnam and received a medical honorable discharge as part of the 101st Army Airborne. Robert Sims, a Bronze Star recipient, died in 2011.

Weather permitting, street may be finished by Memorial Day

For Mike Sims, the Run for the Wall is all about honoring those veterans “who gave all” and help raise awareness to those still missing in action. See RUN, page 7 Photo by Dave Fisher

Golf carts take to the streets in Manzanita In an interesting twist, carts are allowed in Manzanita, but not on the golf course By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Driving about town in a golf cart is a great way to get around in Manzanita as long as you’re a licensed driver, your golf cart is street legal and you obey traffic laws. At left: John Kasch, Bill Nealeigh, Bob Joseph and Dick Heaman are among perhaps as many 20 residents in town that own golf carts. Photos by DaveFisher

With the Manzanita Open Golf Tournament in full swing this weekend, expect to see more golf carts around town as locals and visitors scoot back and forth to the golf course to take in the action. But while the City of Manzanita, by ordinance, permits the use of golf carts on its streets, the Manzanita Golf Course does not allow them on the course. So, what’s going on here? “The decision was made early on to keep this course a walking course,” Manzanita Golf Course owner Steve Erickson told the Citizen. “It’s a beautiful course and golf carts would tear it up.” Soil conditions and 90+ inches of rain a year factored in to the decision to keep the nine-hole course a walking course, said Erickson. In ad-

dition, the path down to the fifth hole is a bit steep and the issue of liability surfaces if golf carts were allowed on the course. Still, there are upwards of 20, perhaps as many as a couple of dozen, golf cart owners in Manzanita. Bill Nealeigh claims he was the first to have a golf in Manzanita 24 years ago. Nealeigh, like most of his counterparts, uses his golf cart to shuttle back and forth to the golf course and visit the post office and grocery store. Dick Heaman, like Nealeigh, uses his cart in the same manner, but reduces his outings during the peak tourist season because of increased traffic. “I try to stay off the streets during the summer months. It’s a little tougher going during the summer,” he said. “People are pretty congenial when it comes to golf carts in Manzanita,” added Bob Joseph, “but 101 is off limits. You’ve got to stay off 101.”

Nehalem Elementary School unveiled a new mosaic and ceramic mural that graces the front entry to the school at its Art Night celebration May 8. The “Native Spirits Mural,” a working title, was part of the Arts in Education programs of the Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre and Youth Art Center. On one side of the mural is a river scene with native wildlife and on the other side Neahkahnie Mountain with ocean scenes and sea life. A sea bird perched on a metal bar that extends from the wall gives the mural a eye-catching three dimensional effect. Students submitted drawings beginning in January of scenes to be used in the mural. The student artists whose designs were chosen were Carmela Camacho, Raul Ce-

ballos, Anna Driscoll, Nina Eudy, Caleb Harth, Jayce Lawson, Rachel Lee, Eric Loza, Alondra Mendoza, Kalani Mersereau, Jaxon Sherman, Bianca Smith, Braden Soans, Sophia Van Dyke, and Espen White. However, all Nehalem Elementary students, K-5, had a hand in helping glue the ceramic tile fragments onto tile board. The project gained steam the latter part of April during a weeklong artist-inresidence effort at the school by artists associated with the Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre and Youth Art Center. Every grade got to participate and the mural is something will most likely outlast the students who helped piece it together. “These projects can often outlast the school as mosaics last for many, many years,” OCCT artistic director Larry Adrian told the Citizen.

Friendly people... friendly service, That’s Manzanita Grocery & Deli! H50893

Though the contractor for the Laneda Ave. project has until June 10 to complete the job, it is looking more and more that the street from Division to Hwy 101 will be completed by the end of May. “At this point, the city is confident that the contractor will have the street paved before Memorial Day and that is well ahead of the contract schedule,” said Bret Siler, of Manzanita Public Works, in an email project update. “Hopefully the weather is good to help facilitate this early completion by the contractor.” Towards the end of last week, crews began forming the south side gutter system in preparation for the pouring of concrete early this week, weather permitting. Forming of the north side curb and gutter system of Laneda Ave. also began Monday. “We should learn at the next Monday morning meeting on when they will pour the north side curb, gutter and sidewalk. During this concrete phase is when driveway access will be impacted for the longest periods of time,” Siler added. In the meantime, Laneda Ave. is still closed to through traffic, including foot traffic from Hwy 101 to Division St. The Classic St./Laneda Ave. intersection is also closed to north and south bound traffic on Classic St. Local access is still available to those that need it within these two blocks.

Ready or not, summer camping season is nearly here By Dave Fisher The Citizen

• Boat Docks

Boat docks have been installed for the season and will be removed, again, in early October.

• Rate Changes

In September 2013, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission approved a rate increase. These increases include camping sites, extra vehicles and yurts and took effect May 1, 2014. Visit www.oregonstateparks.org for more information. In November 2013, the voters of Tillamook County passed a lodging tax. Since Nehalem Bay State Park lies within Tillamook County, the park needed to adjust camping (lodging) rates to cover the 10 percent increase, which began January 1, 2014.

• Snowy Plover Management – March 15 to July 15

In order to comply with Federal Regulations, access to the Nehalem Spit requires that pets be leashed at all times when south of the day use area. Visit www.oregonstateparks.org for further information, including maps.

• Smoking in Oregon State Parks

In order to comply with the governor’s executive order, Oregon State Parks has implemented a smoking ban in all of its parks. Smoking tobacco products is only allowed in personal or recreational vehicles/units and in designated campsites.

• Nehalem Bay State Park – Electrical Upgrade

Beginning October 2014, Nehalem Bay State Park will be getting some much needed work to upgrade the electrical hookups to 50 AMP. Here’s a timeline of the project: Oct. 1 to Dec. 1, 2014 – Entire campground closed. Dec. 1, 2014 to April 1, 2015 – D, E and F Loops open, first come first served. April 1 to May 1, 2015 – All loops open, first come first served. May 1, 2015 – All loops open and may be reserved.

ODOT delays construction bid on Manzanita culvert project

Work on Hwy 101 culvert project has been delayed until this fall.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has postponed the construction bid for the Manzanita Avenue to Neahkahnie Creek culvert replacement and U.S. 101 realignment until this fall. Construction and culvert replacement was planned to start in June but there were design considerations and some unforeseen issues that forced the postponement. While the project construction will not begin until

Like us on

next spring, the project end date has not changed and it will be completed by October 2016 as originally specified. The project consists of replacing an existing culvert at Neahkahnie Creek with a tunnel structure and enhancement of the stream bed, relocating and realignment of U.S. 101 to improve this section of the highway, and enhancing turning lane movements into downtown Manzanita.

OPRD updated information for 2014

Memorial Day weekend is nearly here and you know what that means… the kickoff to the summer tourist season. At Nehalem Bay State Park, it’s usually a full house that weekend, according to Park Manager Matt Rippee, who will see his ninemember staff balloon this summer with the addition of 18 seasonal employees to handle the influx of people at Nehalem Bay, Oswald West and Ecola state parks. Part of the Nehalem Bay Management Unit, the three parks are home to three million visitors that pass through annually. “It definitely keeps us on our toes,” said Rippee, who has been on the job at Nehalem Bay State Park a year. The day use areas see plenty of action with Nehalem Bay and Ecola seeing half a million visitors a year. At Os West, a popular destination for surfers and outdoor enthusiasts, that number is 780,000 visitors. Though Memorial Day weekend signals the beginning of summer, things don’t get hopping until mid-June when schools have let out, after which time the campground at Nehalem Bay is full pretty much the remain-

der of the summer season. “The first couple of weeks of September are usually busier than June,” says Rippee, noting that when the campgrounds are at full capacity at Nehalem Bay it becomes a city of 1,500 to 2,000 “residents.” While family camping is the draw at Nehalem Bay, Oswald West, further to the north, attracts a younger crowd because of the nature of the park. Matt Rippee, manager of the Nehalem Bay Management Unit for the Oregon Parks and “With eight miles Recreation Department, heads up a staff that looks forward to serving park visitors. of trails, people trees became a growing conPark north of Cannon Beach go there to hike, cern, especially when a large got most of the off-season explore and exercise, and, of spruce tree fell in the vicinity attention.

News/Commentary Memorial Day thoughts and memories

With Memorial Day right around the corner I got to thinking that maybe some of what I remember about World War II, might be of interest to those who have only read parts of what happened. I was 11 years old and can remember exactly where I was when the war started. Another kid and I were throwing a football around on the street in front of his house. His mother came out the front door and hollered that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. My friend’s father and brother were both in the Navy and were stationed a few miles from where we lived. His mother announced that both of them had been ordered to report to the base. The next few days and weeks were very tense as people tried to sort out what they would do if we were attacked directly because of

n Carts From page 1 “It’s no big deal,” added John Kasch. “The speed limit is 25 in town, but you have to be street legal.” That’s where the City of Manzanita’s Ordinance 0903 comes in. Passed in 2009, the Manzanita City Council, noting that the golf course was an integral part of the community, approved the use of golf carts and low speed vehicles on its streets, but with certain restrictions. The operator of a lowspeed vehicle (golf cart or electric vehicle) must have a valid driver’s license or instruction permit. A golf cart and/or low speed vehicle may not travel on any road or street that has a speed limit in excess of 30 miles per hour, and drivers are required by Oregon insurance

law to insure their vehicles. Required equipment for such vehicles operating at dusk or night include two headlamps, at least one stop lamp, turn signal lamps, and tail lamp. In essence, golf carts are treated in the same manner as motor vehicles. As for the golf cart owners that spoke to the Citizen, none of them go out after dusk. Common sense, in addition to Manzanita’s ordinance, comes into play. Asked if they have had any close calls driving about Manzanita in their carts, the answer was a resounding “no.” This weekend, 700+ golfers will participate in the annual Manzanita Open and, rain or shine, the beauty of the course will once again be showcased, something Erickson takes great pride in. “It’s a beautiful course,” says Erickson, “and, after all, golf is supposed to be exercise.”

population to give the help we needed for those in the armed forces. We put up with shortages of some basic items, such as butter, meat, shoes and many other things, including gasoline. We had blackout drills for the possibility of an attack from the air. The Boeing factory was camouflaged to look like a big farm. There were anti aircraft facilities all around with one in our neighborhood. As a kid, there were many opportunities for making a contribution to the war effort. We helped distribute ration stamps at school. Recycling was in full force with people saving everything, including fat leftover from cooking and old toothpaste tubes. The ladies couldn’t find nylon stockings so they would paint their legs. We had air raid drills in school and were mostly told to get

on the floor under our desks and cover our heads. We also had fire drills that would call for evacuation of the building. I was a member of the Boy Scouts and when we wanted to go on an overnight hike, we left on foot from home. Somebody would know of a place to camp and we practiced our scouting skills and even how to march like those in the armed forces. It is probably human nature to forget the really horrible things that we heard about happening on both sides of the world. Some of the things that were happening would only be disclosed as we got to the victory phase and the world still reels when it looks at the atrocities that happened behind enemy lines. Most of those who served our nation during that

worldwide war have passed away. The people in my age group found themselves involved in a war in Korea. We served along side many of those who had been a part of the big war and they all had memories that they would share with us. Some people said that the war in Korea was actually a “police action,” but we beg to differ when we recall those friends and relatives who gave their lives in what looked like a war to them. I am sure I can speak for all of the veterans when I express my hope that we never get involved in any worldwide wars and that the places where we have troops now can find ways to resolve their issues and stop the taking of lives when negotiating is a much better solution. We admire those who are serving as we seek to bring peace to the world.

Community News Briefs Author Holly Lorincz recipient of national award

Local author Holly Lorincz has won a national book award, an IPPY, for her first novel, Smart Mouth. Her book placed third in the Popular Fiction (print version) category, the biggest category in the 18th Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards. “This year’s contest drew over 5,500 entries from authors and publishers in all 50 U.S. states, nine Canadian provinces, and 32 countries overseas,” stated IPPY Director Jim Barnes. “Launched in 1996 and conducted each year to honor the year’s best independently published books, the ‘IPPY’ Awards recognize merit in a broad range of subjects and reward authors and publishers who take chances and break new ground.” The award ceremony will be held in New York on May 28. As luck would have it, Lorincz was already scheduled to be in New York on that date, attending the annual Book Expo of America in her role as literary agent. “Jeez, is this not the best coincidence ever?” said Lorincz. “I entered the national division as a shot in the dark, thinking I might have a slight chance in the regional division. And not only did I win the national award, I’ll actually get to stand on a stage and have a bronze medal slipped over my head. The media coverage will hopefully boost sales; I know my spirit’s been boosted.” Smart Mouth, A Novel is set in the Pacific Northwest and uses pointed humor to tell the fictional story of a bumbling young teacher, a burnt out coach, and a group of desperate kids trying to survive the pitfalls of school and the bigger world. The book is available in local bookstores and on Amazon in both print and e-book versions.

Have you voted yet? I want our children to find meaningful, family-wage jobs here when they grow up. We start by creating a healthy forest environment. Twenty years after the Federal Northwest Forest Management plan was implemented Spotted Owl populations continue to decline. 261 mills have closed and we have lost 50,000 family—wage jobs. Dense, overstocked and neglected federal forests have become vulnerable to wildfires that threatened our air and water quality. A fear of being sued has replaced sound forestry science and management principles. This doesn’t make sense! I’m in a position to make a difference. Last year county commissioners from the 15 western states elected me to represent them in Washington, D.C. I want to restore the health of our forests and put people back to work. I still have much to do and need your vote on May 20. Please call me with your ideas and concerns.

Nehalem Bay Video finds new home in downtown Manzanita By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Larry Gresham, owner of Nehalem Bay Video, has certainly made the rounds. In business three years, Gresham has set up shop in his third location next door to Manzanita Grocery and Deli and now looks forward to growing his business once again. Shortly after taking over for previous owner Joe Maple, who retired, Gresham moved Nehalem Bay Video from its original location next to Manzanita Fresh Foods when the grocery store was demolished to pave the way for a parking lot in front of the new store. As luck would have it, he converted a double garage across the street made available to him by owners Harvey and Sandy Sturm into a video rental store. The arrangement worked well until one day a potential buyer for the Sturm’s building made an offer prompting Gresham to

“I love the relationship with my regulars and have developed a feel for what they want to view,” said Gresham. “I try to keep up with all the new releases that come out.” Most of the time, he says, he gets it right and, when he doesn’t, “I hear about it.” Certainly, with over 5,000 DVDs in stock, the most in north Tillamook County, there are plenty of movie titles to choose from, including classics, documentaries, westerns, TV series, family and children, drama, science fiction, action, and comedy, not to mention a variety of video game rentals. Gresham, who purchases his DVDs outright, eliminating the middleman, also maintains a selection of 200 new and recent releases. As part of the agreement with Manzanita Grocery and Deli, he no longer sells candy and movie snack items. The good news is the grocery store no longer rents movies. In addition to movies and video game rentals, Gresham

make stops at memorials, veterans’ hospitals and schools. They enjoy parades, escorts and welcome-home receptions from many patriotic citizens in towns along the route. “The groups get larger with the addition of other bikers as they roll through various states,” Sims noted. The trip from L.A., along three separate routes, takes ten days to reach the Vietnam Memorial, where The Run officially ends on the Sunday evening before Memorial Day.

Additionally, riders have things scheduled for the weekend, ending with their participation in the Rolling Thunder Parade in Washington D.C., on Sunday. Upwards of 350,000 motorcycles, starting from the Pentagon parking lots, parade through downtown Washington, ending at the Vietnam Memorial, “The Wall.” Run For The Wall is a 501 [c][3] organization and welcomes donations. Contact your state coordinator or the RFTW treasurer as listed on www.rftw.org-contacts.

“It’s like they say, ‘All gave some and some gave all,’” said Sims. “We’re riding for those who can’t.” There is a nominal fee for participating in Run for the Wall, and you have to pay your own expenses. Participants have been very fortunate in the past in that they generally get a great deal of support from organizations and people along the way. Most evening dinners are provided free or for a small donation by citizens. Many breakfasts and lunches are provided, as well, and some groups even pay for gas and H20918 on Oregonian lodging occasion.1x1 092111:Lay Along the way, bikers

pack his bags to accommodate the sale, which, as luck would have it, eventually fell through. “I actually was off for a couple of months,” said Gresaham, “as I tried to figure out what I was going to do.” That was last fall. Heading into Thanksgiving, Gresham reached an agreement with Manzanita Grocery and Deli to resurrect his business in a building owned by Chung and Judy Lee next door to their store. The building, home to Oregon Coast Cyber Café for years, meant working out a deal with Cyber Café owner Jeannie Henley to share space. The two struck a deal and the rest is, as they say, history. Ii was a few tough months for Gresham at his new location. Many were unaware he had moved and it was winter, however, slowly but surely, his customer base is returning and he looks forward to increased foot traffic this summer being on Laneda Ave., Manzanita’s main drag.

Reviving a two million year old tradition of cooking “Cooking, above all, connects us.” – Michael Pollan

You see, raw food takes an amazing amount of time to chew and energy to digest.

That’s many households almost 50 percent these days where of the day, where most families eat we spend around packaged foods on five percent of the the go. day chewing. Cooking, acIt is figured cording to anthat our ancestors thropologists, is started cooking considered the one The food around two vitally important million years ago attribute of Homo Golightly as that it when sapiens that sets us apart from all Gourmet they started showing up with the other animals.

When our that helped to crack open hairy ancestors discovered how to cook food an amazing more nutrients and partially transformation happened, our break down the foods for our jaws and guts got smaller and ancestors so we got a bigger brain out of this brilliant our brains got bigger.

idea. This also opened up another interesting and previously uncharted territory in our grunting ancient grandparents – culture. Think about it, if one goes from spending 50 percent to five percent of our day to get the daily nutrients out of food that we need, there would be some time to spend pursuing other interests like dwellings, clothing, weapons, art and more sophisticated tools – i.e. culture. The other concept that birthed with cooked food is the family dinnertime. Yes, our cave people ancestors “dinnertime” was surely different than ours, but the concept started when the cooked food was ready to eat, called “primary eating.” Before that they were grazers eating all day long, and that is called “secondary eating.” Primary eating, also more elegantly called family meals and the cooking of them, is tittering on extinction. A very interesting decline has happened since the advent of processed foods, we not only have vacated the kitchen but

we have also become secondary grazers again grabbing food on the go just like our giant jawed, tiny brained ancestors. (Does that mean our brains are shrinking and our guts are getting larger?) The family meal and cooking it is vitally important for us to take back. Around the family table we talk, we connect, we develop concepts and we enjoy home cooked meals. This two million-year-old tradition is the foundation of our health and culture. No light thing, but it really isn’t that hard to do; just start with the decision to cook your meals and to eat it together. Back when our kids were pre-teens, I was so busy working that I settled for packaged and pre-made foods to save on time. We engaged in secondary eating and both I and the kids got overweight in short order. Paul sat me down one day and we made the landmark decision to cook and eat together. We put emphasis on making healthy meals and enjoying them together with no media and we all lost

weight. This was an incredible shift in our lives that we had no idea would be so far reaching. To this day, our adult children still love to cook and are very interested in their health. Paul and I both love to cook and eat at least one meal a day together (with no media involved) so that we can reconnect and enjoy the wonderful food. Cooking and eating together is truly paramount and the

most profoundly powerful act each of us can take in our lives, day in day out. This recipe is an easy one with ingredients in almost everyone’s cupboards. Just make sure and plan for the marinade time then fire up the ancient cook fire (the grill) and in minutes you have a delicious and wholesome meal. Eat it around a table with your loved ones, and grunt with delight if you want.

Garlic mustard grilled beef skewers glaze recipe

The meat needs to marinade for at least 4 hours up and up to 8 so take that into consideration on your timing. Smoked paprika, my favorite spice in the whole word, is available at Mother Natures.

1/4 cup of whole grain mustard 2-4 cloves of garlic finely chopped 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon of honey 2 tablespoons of finely chopped rosemary leaves 2 teaspoons of smoked or sweet paprika Salt and ground pepper to taste Beef skewers 2 pounds of beef or venison, tri-tip cut Twelve bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes Get ready to connect with your ancestors from two million years ago… whisk together all the glaze ingredients and let sit while you get the meat ready. Cut the meat into 24 thin strips, about 1/4” thick

more or less. (There will not be a test on this.) Place the meat into a medium bowl, pour the glaze over it, stir it around till it is well coated then cover and marinade for 4-8 hours in the fridge. Take out the meat and skewer two pieces of meat on each skewer by threading the meat strip on the skewer like a snake. (Hope that made sense.) This is messy business with the marinade on the meat, so I suggest you do it over the sink. Set the skewers in a baking sheet and pour the remaining glaze in the bowl over the skewers. Lightly oil your grill then heat to high. (Feeling the ancestors now?) Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, flip over and grill a few more minutes till they get blacken bits on them. Test one and see it is to your liking. If not, grill a few more minutes. Don’t overcook or you will get tough meat that even Neanderthals can’t chew. Salt and pepper to taste and serve with mayo mixed with pressed garlic and mustard.
