In quest of a community library

Helen Hollensted, one of the earlier inhabitants of Manzanita, tells the beginning of the story in notes that she kept. Mrs. Ben Lane donated books to the Manzanita community in 1930. She was looking forward to Manzanita establishing a public library. These books were housed in the very small real estate office of Ben and Johanna Lane. They formed the beginnings of what we know now as the Manzanita Branch of the Tillamook County Library. According to Helen’s notes, some 100 books circulated that summer. Mr. Lane eventually built racks in his garage. Mrs. Van Groos was librarian and conducted a

The Neighborhood Club of Nehalem paid the costs for transporting the books at first until the Community Club (Pine Grove) took charge after they opened their new building in 1933. From then on, the library seems to have been located in the Pine Grove Community Center where the present kitchen is now. The Women’s Club and the city shared the financial responsibilities. By 1947, the Oregon State Library Board was encouraging Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman, shown above at the ground-breaking ceremony library systems for entire counties.

At the Port of Nehalem’s meeting on May 28, the board voted in favor of donating $32,541 to the City of Wheeler to help acquire and develop the 6.78 parcel of land commonly known as “upland property” adjacent to Bott’s Marsh that Wheeler hopes to turn into a waterfront park. “I think the wisdom of the Port comes in regards to regional projects and solutions and shines through in the decision they rendered,” Wheeler City Manager Geoff Wullschlager said. “The community support shown by the Port is such a keystone element in this project moving forward.” Wheeler has already collected $10,100 as pledges from local citizens, and the City has committed to give $20,000 to the project. The City of Wheeler has also applied for funds through the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Acquisition Grant. Their application has been pushed past the technical review process. The city applied for a similar grant last year, but finished just outside of the top 25 chosen applications. This year with less money in the grant program, the city hopes support from the community, local organizations, and other local governing bodies will give their application what it needs to be selected.

Big changes in store for CARTM beginning July 1 By Dave Fisher The Citizen

At a special town hall meeting Sunday afternoon, June 8, attended by about 20 area residents, CARTM officials took the opportunity to update those gathered about changes coming to the north Tillamook County recycling center and trash transfer station. “Some are small changes, and some are big changes, but it’s all good,” said Karen Reddick-Yurka, who chairs

CARTM’s board of directors. First, and foremost, beginning July 1, the transfer station at CARTM will charge based on weight of garbage, not by volume. While the minimum fee is going up from the current rate of $3 to $5, most will benefit, said Reddick-Yurka, “unless you are throwing away bowling balls,” she joked. By switching to weights at all three county transfer stations, a uniform basis for charging will be established for the first time. The new rate is

NORTH COUNTY NEWS ONLINE

$105 per ton, with the new minimum fee. That figures out to be just over $.05 per pound making disposal of 100 pounds of trash only $5.25. In a move by county commissioners in what is technically a pilot project, the county will now be footing the bill for operation of trash disposal, alleviating CARTM of that responsibility. Said Reddick-Yurka, it puts CARTM on firmer footing financially, particularly during those times when the

market for some recyclables is in decline. “I see CARTM as a three-legged stool,” she said. “The first being the recycling leg, the second being re-use of materials and the third, trash handling. The re-use and recycling legs are still CARTM’s.” Contractors disposing of building materials will be able to expedite the process with a special express lane just for them beginning July 1 as well. It will effectively separate them from area resi-

dents and visitors and speed things up. Sales were up the past 12 months at The Refindery, CARTM’s re-sale store. The board approved a plan to use $60K in improvements to boost in-store sales and so far it has paid off, according to Reddick-Yurka. “We’re really happy with the way it turned out,” she said, noting that there was still work to do to improve departmental sales of metals, hardware

Neal Maine recipient of Ferdun Conservation Award By Lorraine Ortiz

It was a standing ovation moment for local conservation icon Neal Maine as he received the first annual Ferdun Conservation Award at Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s 7th annual Living Locally gala last Saturday night. The award, established by the LNCT board in honor of Gareth and Georgenne Ferdun, two of the organization’s dedicated founders who retired from the board earlier this year, was created to illuminate local citizens who have given significantly of their time and vision to the work of land conservation in the Nehalem region. Along with many in the room that evening who have been touched by Neal’s passion for land conservation, award presenter Lane deMoll (also a founder of LNCT) shared many stories of the way Neal has impacted people’s lives. Of those quoted by

Lane, there was unanimous agreement that Neal Maine was their mentor—some by design, others by chance. As a high school biology teacher in Seaside, Oregon for 31 years Neal interacted with hundreds of students and affected the lives of several who have gone on to either careers in environmental fields or to have a relationship with the natural world that shapes their life experience. “Neal saved my life,” said restoration ecologist Doug Ray. Ray, one of Neal’s students at Seaside High School in the 70s describes himself as a “non-traditional” student who struggled with a structured learning environment. “Neal saw this in me and he also saw the spark that nature flamed and took me out of the classroom and into the natural world. To this day, I use the lessons perfectly designed for my way of understanding and delivered so patiently by Neal.” And Doug Ray under-

scored it all by sharing “beware, time spent with Neal Maine will change your life.” Katie Voelke, executive director of North Coast Land Conservancy, the organization that Neal founded in 1986, could not agree more. “I remember the day I had an appointment with Neal so he could answer my questions about anadromous fish. Instead of talking about fish, we talked about everything. As it turned out, everything I talked about he was interested in and everything he talked about I was interested in. At the end of that day he offered me a job and I felt like the luckiest person in the world.” After seven years at the helm of NCLC, Katie still feels like the luckiest person in the world. “Neal will always be my mentor. I continue to learn from him and use his lessons every day in the way I do my job...” Eugene-based writer Bonnie Henderson, met Neal through her brother Randall

and joined them on a river trip on the John Day. “Neal is so humble and so broadly inclusive. So, one day on the river, off the top of his head Neal pointed to a bird and said, we think of birds like that as all being the same, but they are individuals just as much as we are—that statement stopped me in my tracks and forever changed my perspective. Hanging out with Neal unhinged me and steered me. “As a writer, Neal speaks my language. He is both a poet as well as a biologist. As a result of my friendship with Neal I now have a relationship to nature that has allowed me to write passionately about the topic inspired by Neal’s broad vision for conservation. Neal is unlike any other conservationist I have ever known.” Gareth and Georgenne Ferdun, for whom the award is named and who presented the award to Neal, shared about his skills as a land negotiator and talented photographer. “Not only was Neal a strong supporter of our efforts to launch LNCT, but he was able to negotiate some transfers of local property that I see as a major accomplishment for our watershed,” said Gareth. Georgenne added, “Neal has a way of inspiring people with the beauty and the knowledge of the natural world in our area—it makes so much difference in conservation work.” Presenting this award “not only allows us to publically honor Neal as a recipient, but also becomes a way to inspire others to keep this work going,” Georgenne added. The “award” presented to Neal was a collaborative and locally-inspired finecraft piece.

ligrapher and resident of Sandlake in South Tillamook County. “It was an honor to collaborate with Denise, to create the symbol that carries the spirit of this award,” said Allan. “We congratulate Neal and hope that he will take the honor to heart as he continues to inspire us all in this work.” Humble by trade, when asked to speak about receiving his award, Neal did offer some of the secrets to his success. “As a teacher, when I finally understood that people weren’t going to school to get ready for something, they were going to school to have meaningful life experiences, well, that was the moment

that I pushed my desk in the waste basket and started over,” said Maine. “If nature is going to be part of your life, then it has to become part of your life and that means more than having taken a course in science.” If Neal has an agenda, it is quality of life for all coastal citizens and having resources that function well—significantly increasing the quality of all residents of the coast. “The best way to interact with people and to have quality dialogue with them about this topic is to offer full respect for their ideas, find common ground and start from there,” said Maine. “Along with people, I have unending respect for nature—something that has taken a few million years to stack up. Understanding how it functions and works gives one the best possible opportunity to be a part of it. In my new adventure, the art photography business, I am able to communicate visually and portray these nuances to

a broad audience.” “I’m bad at this award business because I worry about concentrating the focus on single individuals, given that we are all riding on the same train here. If the award helps advance the cause, then I go along with it and keep it focused, in this case, on the Ferduns and their values—I honor them for what they have helped to establish.” Neal went on to share about his new adventure— the creation of a “road show” he calls “The Art of Seeing.” This visual presentation of Neal’s photography is designed to be shown to groups of any size, in any locale, as a pathway to find new connections to help support environmental sustainability on the North Coast. “In general, I am focusing on trying to have the photography communicate more than a picture of an animal and begin to expose folks to some of the natural resource thoughts and to see things in a new way.” “I don’t have the answers, I’m just telling the truth as I experience it and want to get people ready for what’s next so we can move conservation even further in our communities.” As a reciprocal gesture that evening, Neal gifted the Ferduns with a speciallychosen photo from thousands of his nature-based images. The photo of two eagles on the beach was selected as a symbol of his respect for what the Ferduns have helped to create and their inspiration to others. “In coming years the LNCT board will solicit nominations for The Ferdun Conservation Award,” said LNCT’s executive director Dale Cramer Burr. “We hope the creation of this award will inspire more citizens to engage in the natural world and to those already working for the environment to know that they are part of the spirit of it all.”

Writing and Submission Class for Young Writers

The Manzanita Writers’ Series coordinators are pleased to announce a class for young writers to prepare their writing work for submission to publications. Open to students entering grades 5 through 9 in September, 2014, the class will help students take a favorite writing piece, and to perfect it through peer feedback and a guided editing process. They will also become acquainted with the submission process and explore publishing sites. Ultimately, students will finalize a piece to submit to the North Coast Squid literary journal. “With the new submission categories at the Squid, there’s an opportunity for local young writers to submit their work this year,” says Deb Simmons, who developed the class and will be teaching it. “We’re hoping a regular writing group will grow out of this experience.” The class, which runs six days, Monday through Wednesday for two consecutive weeks (July 7,8,9,14,15,16), from 10 to 12:30, will be held at the Nehalem Elementary Computer Lab/Library. Along with submitting their work, the final class will feature an Open Mic at the Hoffman Center. The class fee is $70 and materials are included. Students should bring a sack lunch for each day’s “Talk About Writing Lunch.” A third generation Oregonian and graduate of OSU, Deb Simmons completed the Masters of Teaching (MAT) program at Lewis & Clark College with certification in Language & Literacy. She studied at the NW Writing Institute under Kim Stafford and is a ‘graduate’ of their Oregon Writers Project.

After 35 years of teaching (the last 13 at Nehalem Elementary), Deb retired in September 2013 to devote more time to writing and writing instruction with young people. She mentors teachers, has trained student teachers, and served on two school boards (both in Portland). Deb and her husband of forty years live in Neahkahnie.

The two afternoon classes are: • “Monsters, Fairies & Robots: Drawing from the Imagination” (ages 6-17) with Ryan Pedersen. Students will draw on their imaginations to work with form, weight and expression in their drawings, broaden their idea of “line,” and inherit specific, life-long techniques.

Students will learn character development through improvisation games, round robin shares and various exercises in juggling, poi, basic acrobatics and slapstick theater. The class will conclude with a small showcase of skills learned, musical expression during playtime and showcase encouraged.

Guest Commentary

Hoffman Center president Dave Dillon records the demolition of the Hoffman House Studio for posterity. Photo by Dave Fisher

Hoffman Studio in Manzanita leveled

The Hoffman House Studio building, at Laneda Ave. and Division St., in Manzanita was torn down the morning of June 2. Built in 1938, and modified a number of times after that, the building belonged to the late Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman. It was bequeathed to the community in 2004 to support the arts, education and the library. The building – part of the Hoffman Center – has provided studio space for artists, art and writing classes, and storage for the Friends of North Tillamook Library’s annual used book sale for several years. “The house has to come down, but their memory still remains,” said Hoffman Center president David Dillon of the Hoffmans. “We thank the Hoffmans and the community for its support.” The demolition conducted by John Longfellow Construction was funded in part by a $15,000 grant from a local family. The site will be landscaped to beautify the entry to the city in time for this year’s Fourth of July celebration. Work began on the vacant lot on Wednesday this week with volunteers helping with the planting to spruce up the entrance to Manzanita. “The lot will be preserved for a new Hoffman Center structure sometime in the future,” said Dillon. “That facility would be constructed only after the mortgage on our main building across the street is paid off and sufficient funds raised for the new project.” The Hoffman Center is seeking additional financial help to fund the follow-up landscaping. Donations can be made to Hoffman Studio Demolition Project c/o PO Box 678, Manzanita, OR 97130. Questions about the project can be sent to hoffmancenter@nehalemtel.net.

Who took the roof?

Several years ago when I was serving as the mayor of Wheeler, we received a request for placing a bus shelter on some property owned by the Masonic Lodge. The Rotary Club was one of he sponsors and after checking with the city planner, the project was approved. It was situated in a parking lot and was certainly safe, if not cozy. One side is wide open but there is plenty of room out of the rain. I’m not sure how I got involved, but one day I noticed there were a lot of spider webs and other bits of junk on the windows and I decided to wash the windows and sweep out the critters. Many years ago, when working in a downtown building, I got to talk to a window washer,one of those people who hang on the side of the building and wash all those windows on the outside. Later, they came in the office to do the inside and I asked what they used to do all that cleaning. Turned

I am a long time member of the Rockaway Lions Club and I am sure that with some material that I already own and a little help from my friends we can get that roof replaced in short order. I don’t know who we need to contact for permission, but I will be happy to talk with whoever is in charge. I will check with the City of Wheeler to see if a building permit is needed. Maybe this will be classified as repair work and that won’t be necessary. Meanwhile, try my window-washing technique and you and your neighbors will be amazed with how easy it is to have nice clean windows to go with that roof over your heads.

Letters to the Editor Annual book sale a great success

The Manzanita Branch Library held its annual book sale Memorial Day weekend. We want to thank the people who contribute to this successful event. Thanks to the hundreds of people who donated books and other materials for the sale. Thanks to the volunteers who carted the books to the sorting areas and sorted the books all year long; to the two volunteers who scheduled the workers for the sale; to the volunteers with strong backs and trucks who transported the tables, shelves, and books to the two

sale sites; to the volunteers who worked the sales; to the volunteers with strong backs and trucks who dismantled the tables and shelves, and reboxed the books. These volunteers number approximately 100. And the biggest thanks to all of you who purchased books and made the sale such a success. We raised more than $7,500. The North Tillamook Library Friends own the library building and grounds, and the book sale is the biggest source of funds to maintain both. Again, thank you! Ann Morgan and Madeline Olson, Co-chairs 2014 Book Sale

Creativity on display at Trash Art Show

On behalf of the CARTM board and staff I thank our community for its interest in the 16th Annual Trash Art show. We learned this year that good Trash Art comes in all sizes! There was no shortage of imagination and creativity displayed on the walls of the Refindery’s Imagine Gallery as this year’s show featured small works by local creatives. Our own Julie Barker of Bread & Ocean extended the artistry beyond the gallery and onto the tables through delicious food at the opening

event. Her inspired creativity and talent as a chef is a local treasure. Aren’t we fortunate to live in a place where artistry surrounds us? Thanks also to Lorraine Ortiz and Susan Walsh, who made our 16th annual show something new, different and fresh. After all these years, the ‘ART’ is still in CARTM!

Obituaries Lewis Eugene Scott

Part-time Neahkahnie resident Lew Scott, died March 23 at age 90. He was born on October 23, 1923 in Portland, Oregon to Harry and Elizabeth Scott. In 1931, the family moved to Neahkahnie where Harry was one of the engineers in charge of creating Highway 101. Lew became involved in the Boy Scouts of America, earning the rank of Eagle Scout. He attended Pine Grove School and later Nehalem High School where he graduated in 1941. Lew decided to follow in

his father’s footsteps as an engineer and enrolled at Oregon State College. He spent one year in school before enlisting in the Army where he was a surveyor in Alaska for the Alcan Highway. After being honorably discharged in 1943, he resumed his studies at OSC. Lew spent many summers and spring breaks back in Neahkahnie and worked construction crew with his father. During these breaks, he met his future wife Jeanne Sersanous, whose parents had built a beach house down the road from the Scott’s in 1941.

Lew received a BS degree in geology in 1947 and, while in the midst of his grad studies, he received a call from an oil company to work as a geologist in Columbia, South America. He and Jeanne married in 1947 and lived in Columbia, Salem, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Arizona before moving to Beaverton, Oregon in 1985. In 1993, they became part-time residents of Neahkahnie. Lew became involved in the Northwest Civil War Council and participated in re-enactments. With his friends, he helped research and build many cannons that are used in the re-enactments, as well as on display at Fort Stevens. In 2008, an artillery battery at Fort Stevens was named in his honor.

He co-built the replica of a cannon found on Cannon Beach from the USS Shark that is now owned by the Nehalem Bay State Park. Lew participated in the Dune Preservation Project, helped research and fund the Beeswax Wreck Project, and spent more than a decade serving on the Neahkahnie Water Board. Lewis is reunited with his wife Jeanne and son Jeff; and is survived by their son John, daughter Lisa, and four grandchildren. A Civil War era memorial service for Lewis will be at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, at Fort Stevens, in Hammond, Oregon at the Civil War re-enactment. For more information on the service and Lew’s life, please visit www.sunnysidechimes.com.

Community News Briefs The North Tillamook Rotary Foundation has handed off the Fourth of July Fireworks Booth to the Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay and the Rinehart Clinic. The booth will be operated by volunteers and citizens who support both of these organizations. Profits from the booth will be shared equally and be used to further the mission of each organization. The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay is a deeply committed core of volunteers that have forged a remarkable private-public coalition supported by the three Nehalem Bay communities and is regarded as one of the most visionary, innovative, and organized local emergency preparedness groups in the U.S. Last year, the Rinehart Clinic celebrated its 100th Anniversary Year of serving people in the local community and beyond. The mission of the Rinehart Clinic is to provide accessible, effective and comprehensive medical care and education, assuring optimal health and well-being for all in the community, regardless of health conditions or financial circumstances. Both organizations are fully engaged in the Nehalem Bay communities working to make sure citizens are safe and have access to medical care. Opening on June 23, in downtown Manzanita, the booth will provide a wide variety of fireworks legal in the State of Oregon and many non-fireworks items. Decorations for parade floats, tattoos for all ages, hats, glow necklace, and horns are just a few of the items sold at the booth. Items for kids of all ages will be available.

North Tillamook Library receives bequest

On May 22, The North Tillamook Library Board received a bequest from the estate of Linda Anne Easely of $50,952.36. Linda Anne Easely, who died in 2012, was a former employee of the Multnomah County Library System. She maintained a second home in Manzanita for many years. The North Tillamook Library Board is responsible for all maintenance of the North Tillamook Library building and grounds. The Easely bequest, which was unrestricted, will be used to make major repairs to the west wall and to the water system. Remaining monies will be put into the Library’s Investment Account as a reserve for future building maintenance and repairs. Meanwhile, Marcia Silver was elected secretary of the North Tillamook Library Board at its March 8 meeting. Silver brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position. Born in Tidewater, VA, she earned her undergraduate degree at the College of William and Mary, and her graduate degree at New York University. She spent many hours reading to her daughters in the Children’s Room at the Brooklyn Public Library, and the rest of her time teaching writing at Brooklyn College. She traveled across the country training educators through the Bard College Institute in Writing and Thinking. A career move brought Marcia to Portland State University in 1992, where she taught until taking a position at the Lewis & Clark Graduate School in 2001. While working in Portland, Marcia fell in love with Manzanita and bought a small cabin in 1997. She spent years remodeling it, and when she retired four years ago, brought her talents to Manzanita as a full time resident. Marcia co-sponsors the Writing Lounge on Tuesdays at the Hoffman Center. She invites anyone interested in exploring their creativity through writing to attend. The next Board Meeting of the North Tillamook Library will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. at the Manzanita Library. Anyone interested in becoming more involved wit the library is urged to attend.

Summer writing workshops offered

Creative Journeys with facilitator Gail Balden will offer two summer workshops at the Center for Contemplative Arts in

n CARTM From page 1 items and building materials. In the meantime, a leadership change is in the works as the search for a new executive director is underway. Long time CARTM director Jan Hamilton is retiring at the end of June. The search has narrowed and an announcement as to who the new executive director will be could come in as little as a couple of weeks. In other news: • A new exit road to be completed sometime this summer, as part of CARTM’s master site plan, will improve traffic flow at the recycling center. • The Oregon Bottle Bill has been expanded to include bottles for iced teas, single-serve and sports’ drinks at five cents apiece. The donation of beverage cans and bottles to CARTM has helped the bottom line. Last year, it accounted for

$24,000 and with the added items with deposits it could mean upwards of another $7,000 annually for CARTM. • Thanks to the Oregon Department of Forestry, Tillamook County residents may drop off up to nine cubic yards of residential yard debris free of charge through September 30 at county transfer stations, including CARTM. After that time the charge will be $12 per cubic yard, down from $18. Now in its 17th year of operation, CARTM officials are excited about the arrival of July 1, but not so much for July 5, the day after Fourth of July festivities in Manzanita and surrounding area. With the sudden increase in population, the facility and its employees have their hands full servicing the influx of visitors and getting used to a new way of doing things. “Patience is required as we iron out the kinks…it’s going to be a process and it’ll be a little cumbersome as we make the switch,” said Jan

Manzanita, Oregon. No previous writing experience is required. Both workshops will include topics on the art of listening to the voice of spirit, paying attention to the power of the ordinary, and making a lasting commitment to our creativity. Participants should bring a journal or notebook, their favorite pens, and a brown bag lunch or cash for a take-out lunch from the local deli. Each workshop meets on a Saturday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and costs $50. Early registration is advised, as class groups are intentionally kept small to groups of ten or less. June 28 - Writing Your Memoir: What are the elements of a good story? What subjects do we feel strongest about? How do we write with authority in our unique voice? Memoir is a story from your life, not the story of your life. Join us as we explore who we are and what stories we’re most passionate about and need to tell, if just for our family or ourselves. July 12 - Tending to Our Creativity: Where do we writers find inspiration? Can it be found in the most ordinary of days? How do we find tasks that encourage creative thought? This workshop will focus on giving ourselves time to play and unleashing our creative spirits by stringing words on a page, one at a time. Registration requires a $25 deposit to hold your space.

Scholarship awarded by United Methodist Church

The Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church was among several organizations that each year award scholarships to graduating high school seniors from NeahKah-Nie High School. This year, awards went to Kristina Burdick, Morgan Eastin, Dana Moore, and Taylor Winder. The “Alley” scholarship fund was established in 2002 by a gift to the church from Robert and Winifred Bain who were relatives of the Alley family. The family was early settlers in the area and long time members of the church. The gift established an endowment account to be used for scholarships and youth ministries at the church. Since its inception, the church has awarded $123,500 to graduat-

ing high school seniors. Applications are available at the high school guidance counselor’s office. Larry Kiser from Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church made the presentations at a special awards ceremony honoring this year’s graduating seniors.

NKN School District awarded grant

The Neah-Kah-Nie School District is amongst the first organizations to be awarded the Oregon Kindergarten Partnership and Innovation Program Grant through the Oregon Department of Education. This grant is designed to create opportunities to increase the connection between early learning and K-12 education by investing in innovative and promising models for integration across the state; to build a body of evidence that Oregon can use to create stronger alignment between its early learning and K-12 education systems; and to promote community and school partnerships that result in measurable increases in children’s readiness for kindergarten. On May 22, the Early Learning Council awarded approximately $4 million to 16 applicants across Oregon who were identified as having the strongest plans for reaching the children who are most in need, and maximizing return on investment. In January, the Early Learning Council released a request for applications asking applicants to submit their ideas for implementing or expanding evidencebased innovative partnerships to increase kindergarten readiness. Forty applications from every corner of the state were received, each of which went through a rigorous, multi-step review process. The Neah-Kah-Nie School District application

58 percent of the vote. “I was impressed that kids from other states voted for me. I didn’t know anybody there,” said Alejandro, noting that he gave a lot of speeches during his short stay in Washington D.C. “They (the speeches) got better as I went along. I enjoyed it and I got more comfortable talking before people.” His final speech was at the farewell ceremony and during his tenure he signed an education bill passed by his peers. Education and the environment were among key concerns for the young Americans at Close Up. While in the nation’s

capital, Alejandro visited the White House and Capitol, and various memorials. His trip and expenses were paid by the Close Up Foundation and his church, St. Catherine Episcopal, collected funds for some extras. Alejandro, who was quarterback for the Neah-KahNie Pirates’ football team

this past season and also wrestled and golfed, concentrated primarily in business subjects in high school and looks forward to continuing his education whether it’s at Southwestern. What sticks in his mind from his experience was enlightening. “Anyone can do anything,” he said.

n Library From page 1 the city council met and was presented with a plan for the building by Ted Erickson. At that meeting Esther Anderson asked for a steering committee to be formed to decide on what we really needed for the library. In late 1984, a ten-member citizen’s steering committee was formed at the behest of the city council to explore avenues to build a new library. Ann Knipe recalls that the first meeting was held at the Community Center. Mayor Carr was there and seemed negative about the possibilities. Norman Craig was asked to head the committee, and after researching, he reported at the February meeting that to be eligible for grants the city would have to build a structure of 2,000-squarefeet, which the city at that time felt was much too large. Prior to the steering committee being selected,

Fish

Alan Miller, the head of the Tillamook County Library, brought an application for a grant, which Howard Wilson wrote. However, the recommendation of the steering committee was to not try for a grant because the city did not want a 2,000-square-foot building. As the discussion went on, Norman Craig resigned as chairman of the committee and Jean Prentiss filled the vacancy. For the next few months the steering committee researched how best to obtain a 1,250-square-foot library. The city and park board were willing to have a library at the park, but legal ramifications prevented using that site. In July of 1985, the city divested itself of the steering committee because it was unable to provide a large enough piece of property for the required building and did not wish to bear the burden of any legal problems should they arise. At this time, as the steering committee evolved into a new organization, the North Tillamook Library Board, a decision was made

About the author The history of the North Tillamook Library written by Patty Went is being published in three installments in this and the next two editions of the Citizen. The articles lead up to the 27th Anniversary Rededication Celebration of North Tillamook Library to be held Friday, July 18, at 1 p.m. at the library. Mrs. Went compiled the history based on documents, news clippings, letters, and interviews at the request of current NTLB president Kay Stepp. “I do believe that knowledge of history and honoring the past are important to building the future,” said Stepp. Patty and her husband, Burt, bought property in Manzanita in 1978 and built their home in 1996. By 1998 they were full time residents. “We were coming to Manzanita for our summer vacations in 1987 when the library was being constructed. To us this was a bellwether of the community’s spirit and values. The library became one of the attractions for moving to Manzanita,” she said. Patty recalls that she got involved with the library right away. Around 1999, the library board secretary became ill and Patty was asked to step in to do the job. She continued with various assignments and became board

anytime we get a sore throat and it really helps. You can get the spray locally made by our very own herbalist, Vivi Tallman, at the farmer’s market, which opens on Friday. (Let’s hear it for the Farmer’s Market… Fridays, 5 to 8 p.m., in the Sotheby’s/ Kamali parking lot.) Oregano tea, made simply by seeping a handful of fresh or a teaspoon of dried oregano in hot water for five minutes, has remarkable benefits. It has been shown to reduce LDLs (you know, the bad cholesterol) combat motion sickness and soothe all symptoms related to a common cold. The tea can be a bit bitter so a spoon full of honey will make the medicine go down. There are three different types of oregano, Greek or Mediterranean, Mexican and Cuban. The oregano that is grown in hotter climates is spicier than cold climate oreganos, like the Mediterranean. An interesting fact, all three of the above mentioned oreganos aren’t even related. True fact! The Mediterranean oregano is the “true” oregano and all the rest are oregano “types.” Marjoram is more closely related to true oregano than the others. Most people in the U.S. associate oregano with good

Burt Went has been a member of the Investment, Audit, and Maintenance committees since that time as well. During her presidency, 20 years after the founding of the library, it was time to revisit and update the governance structure to comply with current regulations. The articles of incorporation and by-laws were rewritten. The gardens were redone with a committee designing and procuring new plantings. “Perhaps my biggest contribution was discovering that we had no ‘trip and fall’ insurance and taking care of that right away,” Patty said. “Sometimes it is the small

to apply for 501 c3 status and aim for a library that would be a branch of the Tillamook County Library. On September 4, 1985, the organization became an official 501 c3 nonprofit organization. At this point, the city made available to the fundraisers the $5,000 that it had been holding. By then, the steering committee consisted of eight members representing the communities of Manzanita, Nehalem, Neahkahnie and Wheeler. Its purpose was to build a library on two lots acquired by the fall of 1985. One was from Bob and Dorothy Braun, which the Friends bought for the reasonable price of $12,000 due to their generous donation of $6,200. The deed reads that the lot was transferred at the price of $18,200. The other lot was donated by Myrtle and Lloyd Hoffman. They planned to erect a building that would house a reading room, meeting room and children’s room and space for displaying art. The size was hotly debated. things that can make a big difference.” One of her recollections of the library’s early days and verified in her research was the masterful leadership of Jim Shields. He worked for many years, starting and overseeing the investment fund long after the library opened. “Somehow one of the founders even convinced an anonymous donor to put up a $140,000 bond so construction could proceed while waiting for the rest of the money to come in. It was a matter of faith and perseverance by everyone who was involved.” Patty believes community spirit in support of the library continues today. “We have nearly 100 community volunteers for the annual book sale, the library’s primary fundraising event, out of a community of 800 voters.” In Patty’s view, the North Tillamook Library “remains a major resource for the North Tillamook Community.” Some things have been added over the years, electronic media and computer classes, but what remains is that “the library is where people go to get information about whatever they need to know.” As for me, “Story Time on Saturday is my favorite activity in the library,” she says. “Watching young readers grow! That never changes. Reading opens doors.”

old fashion Italian cooking probably because that is how it was introduce to us. America didn’t even know about oregano until after World War II when the vets started coming home with it to put on their pizza. But oregano is used by many cultures in cooking like Mexican, Spanish, Greek, Caribbean and Turkish. Now, it is widely used in many kitchens everywhere when it marches down the garden path and demands an entrance. Dried herbs are always stronger than fresh but dried oregano is even stronger than most. Anytime you use a fresh herb you will taste the difference, it has life to it. Fresh oregano is easy to use; you pick it, wash it and chop it. Done. I suggest planting your own inquisitive plant in a contained area that you don’t mind it taking over and get ready to play with the Goddess’ herb. This is my new favorite marinade for salmon and chicken. It is so delicious! I developed this recipe because 93 percent of soy beans are GMO and I needed a yummy marinade that didn’t contain soy sauce. This recipe is so summery and easy you can make it every night of the week and Aphrodite would approve.

fully flip and grill on the other side. Drizzle the left over marinade in the bowl over the fish and cook for five more minutes with the lid closed or until the salmon gets slightly opaque in the center. Don’t overcook! If anything, undercook and let rest for five minutes and it will be perfect. Serve with a fresh salad and rice with oregano leaves in them.

Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.

Manzanita Open on its way to raising its second million By Dave Fisher The Citizen

The Manzanita Open held May 16 through 18 at the Manzanita Golf Course was, by all accounts, a great success. Even the weather cooperated. “It was as good as we could hope for,” said Eugene Schmuck Foundation board member David Matthews of the weather. “Not too hot and not too cold, with just a little rain towards the end of the tournament on Sunday.” The annual event sponsored by the Eugene Schmuck Foundation has been held for 26 years and has raised and given away

over $1 million during that time, said Matthews. This year, 636 golfers descended on the popular nine-hole course and over $85,000 was raised. In addition, noted board member Jim Hickey, 500 hamburgers were served off the grill. “The golf tournament is a great fundraiser for many of the important community organizations we all enjoy,” Matthews added. They include Neah-Kah-Nie School District sports and scholarship programs, the Rinehart Clinic, the North County Food Bank, Mealson-Wheels for seniors, the Hospice Center, CARTM and many more.

In addition to the golf tournament itself, silent auctions, a wine auction, games and drawings, and putting and chipping competitions helped bolster the fundraising effort— all with valuable donated prizes, many from local area merchants. Joining the fun were area residents who don’t necessarily golf but enjoy the games and a bite to eat with friends. “I saw more locals on Saturday, especially around noon. All of the tables, chair and benches were full around the club house,” said Dave Stephens, board member and owner of Manzanita Lumber, one of the major sponsors of the annual tournament. Other major sponsors include RTI Nehalem, Columbia Bank and Manzanita Golf Course, along with a number of local businesses. In addition, out-of-town financial support has been key in the overall success of the tournament. “The support we receive from local merchants and volunteers each and every year is what makes this event what it is…we couldn’t do it without them, and the community gains as well,” longtime Eugene Schmuck Foundation board member Connie Vander Waal noted.

Locally grown loans. Unlike national banks, we’re in the business of helping local businesses. We don’t outsource our phone calls or our handshakes, so why would we outsource our loan approvals?
