ill L. Dillard Jr. struck the gavel for the first time as the mayor of Nehalem on June 13. “I have to say, I really don’t like not being able to vote,” he said with a laugh. As a member of Nehalem’s city council for almost fifteen years, Dillard said he had gotten used to the role. As the Council President, Dillard succeeded
former mayor Dale Stockton, whom retired on May 9, after serving on city council and as mayor for a total of 49 years and nine months. “Not many people can say they’ve served alongside men who have served for 30 or 40 years. They have a lot of knowledge and are always willing to share if asked,” Dillard said. Among the people he has served alongside was his father, William Lee Dillard, who was

The night sky over Manzanita on the Fourth of July would have looked much different, had a ragtag group of citizens not stepped up to take over the annual fireworks. “Us young people need to step up,” said Aprilmarie Eckstrom, owner of Toylandia and Manzanita Sweets, both on Laneda. “We are used to Dave Dillon’s

ick and Linda Scovel, owners of Scovel’s Towing and Service Center, were named Manzanita’s Citizens of the Year at the June 8 meeting of the city council. Reading from a nominating letter, Rev. John M. Olson, associate pastor of Calvary Bible Church, said, “Rick and Linda Scovel are an invaluable part of the Manzanita community. For the past 20 years, they have provided an essential service to our community as well as the many guests who pass through our villages.” “Rick and Linda are always there when we need them most; ready to help with a cheerful attitude,” he continued. “No matter the time of day, weather, or location, you can count on the reassuring sight of the Scovel’s truck and Rick’s easygoing demeanor as he gets you back on the road, many times free of charge.” Olson cited the Scovels for donating cars to the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue for practice burns, pulling the VFW float in the Manzanita Fourth of July parade, and regularly donating oil changes to local non-profits for Citizen photo by David Dillon use in fundraising efforts. Rick and Linda Scovel have been named Manzanita’s Citizens of the Year.
The Scovels were high school sweethearts at Neahkahnie High School, and continue to support the sports programs there. They have also hosted 13 foreign exchange students over the past several years. “You can’t talk to the Scovels for more than a few minutes without realizing the central role they play in the lives of their children, grandchildren, and extended family,” said Olson. “Rick and Linda are also an essential part of their faith community, Calvary Bible Church. They serve in many ways: leading worship, teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, leading in youth group, Bible studies, and prayer meetings, and reaching out to families of children with disabilities through Camp Attitude.” He concluded, “Rick and Linda Scovel exemplify the kind of caring and generous hearts that make our community shine.” As Citizens of the Year the Scovels will serve as Grand Marshals of Manzanita’s 4th of July Parade. They also received a hanging flower plant from the previous year’s winners – Bill and Paula Peek.

he fifth grader’s farewell song filled the gymnasium at Nehalem Elementary School moments before the school district surprised principal Kristi Woika as the Oregon Small Schools Association Administrator of the Year. “I’m blown away,” Woika said during the Nehalem Elementary Awards Assembly on June 15. “It is very overwhelming. I’m surprised and humbled. I have the best staff - they are such good people.” Woika is the first administrator from Neah-Kah-Nie School District to receive the award, according to Paul Erlebach, superintendent. “Criteria for this prestigious award includes integrity, leadership, commitment to community, scholarship, and student achievement,” he said, “Principal Woika shines in all of these areas.” Erlebach said he wrote a letter to the OSSA board recommending Woika for
the award. His letter presented achievements and accomplishments Woika has earned during her tenure as principal, including the club SHE Warriors (Sharing Health through Exercise) she began, with other volunteer coaches, for fourth and fifth grade girls. “This is not just a ‘running club,’” Erlebach’s letter reads, “SHE Warriors learn about nutrition, relationship building, volunteering, self-advocacy, empowerment, and goal setting, as well as running.” Erlebach mentions Nehalem Elementary School’s relationship with NCRD Woika has built, her instrumental role in supporting funding for a district-wide preschool program and mentoring aspiring principals. One of her mentees is now a principal. Garibaldi Grade School’s principal, in

CARTM announces recycling line makeover and rate news Colorful, creative and inspiring continue to be the buzz words for CARTM in Manzanita. The newly upgraded recycling line uses color as the guide for local recyclers. “We wanted to streamline the system for sorting recyclable materials, grouping them by raw material and color coding, “ said Karen Reddick-Yurka, CARTM’s executive director. “We are getting great feedback about how it is working—in fact, people love it!” Recyclers will find the line now organized by red for metals, yellow for plastics, blue for paper and green for glass. All signage is now bigger, bolder and bilingual to serve a diverse community. CARTM continues to accept over 40 different materials for recycling—more than any other recycling facility within two counties. The acceptance of such a wide variety of
materials and the ease of sorting has helped to keep 1,196 tons out of the landfill.
Those who choose to throw waste in the landfill will now pay a $6.50 minimum fee ($0.055/pound or $110/ ton) starting July 1. Rate increases are
set each year by Tillamook County and go into effect at the beginning of the county’s fiscal year. “CARTM continues to operate the Manzanita transfer station for the County,” said Reddick-Yurka. “It is one of the trio of services we offer along with recycling and reuse.” The Refindery, the unique and popular retail store showcasing donated, reusable merchandise for sale at CARTM, is now open five days a week, Thursday through Monday, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. These expanded summer hours will be in effect through Labor Day. “We want feedback about how the community likes our new recycling line,” Karen continued, “We hope to see the color coding wherever we recycle in Tillamook County.” Comments may be sent to ed@ cartm.org or call 503-368-7764.

proves her leadership as not just a building principal but a district principal. “It is important to recognize her,” Erlebach said, “For me, she is administrator of the year, every year. The proof is in the pudding: she has lots of volunteers and she gets kids excited. See, I don’t have to say anything.” As Erlebach finished his sentence, numerous students from Nehalem Elementary flocked Woika. Between the hugs, congratulations and well-wishes for the summer, Woika looked up and said, “This is the best place to be.”
Commissioners announce vacancy on Fair Board The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners is accepting applications for a vacancy on the Tillamook County Fair Board.

tunity for public service. The successful applicant will serve a three year term. Applications from citizens living in the South County area are especially encouraged to apply. Membership application forms are available on the County web site under the Board of Commissioners’ page. Applications should be
e-mailed to Isabel Gilda in the Commissioners’ office at igilda@co.tillamook.or.us by 5 p.m. on July 15.

n Mayor Continued from Page A1 mayor of Nehalem for 29 years and two months, according to Dale Shafer, city manager and recorder for the City of Nehalem. “We have been very lucky to have people who are elected mayor who want to keep serving,” Shafer said of the tradition of long-serving mayors, including Shirley Kalkhoven’s decade-long tenure as mayor. Dillard admitted he has rather large shoes to fill.
n Fireworks Continued from Page A1 generation stepping up.” Eckstrom said after Dillon stepped away from coordinating the fireworks show last year, something he had done for nearly two decades, many of the groups who supported his efforts pulled back from the fireworks show as well. “When Dave [Dillon] told me he was done, I sat on it to see if anyone would pick it up,” Eckstrom said, “I waited three weeks. No one wanted to do it.” What followed was the formation of the Fireworks Committee, a collaboration between Leroy Heppener, Danielle Johnson, Brian Ruef and Eckstrom, she said. “If the fireworks don’t happen for one year, I’m worried they will never come back,” she said. “We came together to try to keep it going.” Eckstrom said even though Dillon has retired from coordinating the
“I know I can’t do all the things Shirley could,” he said, citing his time restraints with work commitments and the time he spends with his family and children. “It’s a whole new learning process; I’m always learning,” Dillard said. “I hope I can step up to the plate and people see fit to elect me when it comes time.” Elections for mayor and some council seats will occur in November, according to Shafer, but the vacancy left by Dillard means the city is accepting applications to fill the council seat. “We have 30 days to take applications,” Shafer said of the vacant council seat, and
added that applications are available at Nehalem City Hall on 35900 Eighth Street. For Dillard, he said he has a positive outlook on the future of Nehalem, but addressed issues such as the lack of affordable housing, yet difficulties in building due to issues the city has with water. However, he added he plans to support and encourage the local businesses in any way he and the council can. “He’s a lifetime resident, we’re lucky to have him,” Shafer said of the new mayor. “He does a great job. He is even-handed, fair and sees all sides before he makes a decision.”
fireworks, he has provided a booklet outlining what he did and has been a helpful contact for organizing the Fourth of July fireworks. “Everyone was just tired,” Kristin Grasseth, administrator assistant for the City of Manzanita, said. “There was no way the city could have taken it over. We support it, but it would be such a large function for us, especially after volunteering our time for the parade.” Grasseth added the City Council received public input both in favor and against the fireworks and needed to decide whether or not they would continue them. “This energetic group stepped up,” Grasseth said of the Fireworks Committee. “They pulled it off without a hitch. It was fabulous.” Garry Bullard, mayor of Manzanita, added, “They did a good job last year. The fireworks are a part of the Fourth of July culture.” He added the real issue the city faces is from illegal fireworks in the neighborhoods, but noted last year the city patrolled the neighborhoods
more aggressively than before. However, even with the support and praise, Eckstrom said they are still in need of manpower and funds to ensure the fireworks can happen seamlessly. “We’re still looking for volunteers,” she said, “We want as many as we can get and we’re willing to pay this year,” adding a surplus from their estimated $25,000 budget from last year would allow them to pay. One of the fundraisers, which she said recently launched, is to support the Fireworks Committee by purchasing a shirt or sweatshirt from Toylandia or the Manzanita Farmers Market. “I think for a lot of people, it’s this small town Mayberry tradition you take for granted,” she said, “Not all small towns have their own fireworks.” For more information, email ManzJuly4Fireworks@gmail.com. To donate, visit ManzanitaFireworks.com/give. The fireworks will begin July 4 at 10 p.m. on Manzanita Beach.

Hoffman Center presents works by Lloyd Lindley II The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will kick off a month-long display of works by Lloyd Lindley II -- entitled “The World After Us in 5 Suites” - with an artist’s reception on Friday, July 1 from 6 to 9 p.m. “This exhibition of paintings and drawings is an exploration into an unknown future, an envisioned place where evolution progresses without the influence of humans,” said Lindley, a retired architect and lifelong painter who recently moved to the area full-time. “Author Alan Weisman explored the sudden absence of humanity in his book ‘The World Without Us’ where inexplicably all people simultaneously disappeared,” continued Lindley. “What if one day people suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind all of the inventions and technologies that made living easy, extended life and enabled humanity to

ike most people I have been suffering with the news from all over the world that makes the headlines in the press and on the air. Every day there is a new crisis to remind us that life is really a very fragile thing and we can lose it very easily. I have to admit that seeing it through these very old eyes may give me a perspective that isn’t shared with the masses Since the above subject matter is not a very nice experience, I thought maybe a glimpse at some good things that are happening in my life might be of interest to others. In particular I am going to talk about the volunteers that we see in our community and even find mentioned in the press now and then. I am talking about people who give of their time and even
their money in the pursuit of making life better for others. Those we can help are not just those who are down and out, they are even those who may be living a good life. You can never tell when someone might need some assistance either financially or physically with a problem they are living with. Maybe they are struggling to help someone whose needs are larger than one person can handle. Over the years I have been privileged to lend a hand in many ventures that have grown to be real assets in our world. A discussion over lunch one day led to the establishment of one of the world’s best eye banks. It started with just volunteers who recognized it as something that could change the lives of hundreds if not

ing that they are part of the solution and not the problem. I remember when a member of our Lions Club passed away and how much we knew we were going to miss him. One day I happened to be in the Lions meeting hall and discovered a large puddle of water in the kitchen area. It was coming from a bucket that was overflowing and it had been catching the leaks from the sink above. It wasn’t much of a job to replace the gasket in the sink drain and the problem was solved. It dawned on me that we had never experienced that problem when our lately departed friend was alive. He evidently had been emptying that bucket for several years. Another member passed away and we then realized that for several years he had
been cleaning the hall every Sunday after the weekend Bingo sessions. Service to help others often helps the person by letting them feel good about their contribution to the cause at hand. They don’t expect any more compensation other than observing others enjoying themselves and they helped make it happen. Watching a youngster looking through the new pair of glasses that you just helped him receive can be the brightest part of any day for everyone involved. You can be part of all this if you take the time to buy a special hot dog from the Rockaway Lions Weenie Wagon. All the proceeds from that purple trailer are spent making lives better for others and they sure get to meet a lot of nice people.

working day after day on projects to provide basic needs for people who would go hungry or perhaps fail in their efforts to earn a living. There are those who have mental and emotional problems that make them different and many are not accepted in their communities or families. Many individuals and organizations spend thousands of dollars and hours raising money and even conducting various tests and treatments to help those with special needs. Some of those volunteer efforts are readily seen by the public, but the thousands of hours spent on preparing the food or product to be sold happens behind the scenes. It is apparent that none of those people realize any money from their efforts but they do have the privilege of know-

Guest Column RE: “Tillamook County Schools embrace transgender guidelines” By Chaplain Janice McFarland (retired) Bay City Many Christians including myself do not embrace this or any of the other degrading things that are forced upon us by the people in power of these last years. Any person who has read the Bible, believes the Bible is God’s road map for us, [and we] cannot go along with what is happening in this country. God says what He means and means what He says. He is a loving God trying to keep us going in the right direction so that we can live a good life and be proud of the United States, our home, our land. From the time I was a child growing up on a farm where people believed in God and had reverence for God. I do not even recognize the country I am living in now compared to then. We have forsaken the very thing that made this country great. God. He gave us the Ten Commandments. Which if even half the people in this land would abide by we would see things greatly improve. True Believers, I admonish you to stand up now. This country is already not considered a world power in some places anymore. Why? Because we have let sin come in and the degradation has spiraled beyond one’s comprehension. Homosexual marriage: counties, states, voted it down many places. Judges overturned our votes and claimed it legal for them to marry. Judges have no right to do that. Homosexual marriage was decreed a law in the whole country to be lawful by the Supreme Court. They had no right to do that. Our rights were to have it voted on state by state. Under the Obama Administration … their form of government is to do just what they want to do, bypassing our basic form of government and Constitution. Basically it is a kingship now. A pres-
north coast
ident is to be a servant of the people. To respect the majority of the vote of the people. I guess us little people are too dumb. So it is best that these super intelligent people make the rules up as they go along. Look up Romans, chapter one in the Bible. God condemns homosexuality. Take your argument to Him not me. Because every person on this earth will some day stand before Him and will have no excuse. It was news to me that this all started back before 2015. How many millions of dollars is going to take to re-do bathrooms, showers, locker rooms all across this nation? The question is are you going to be a God-pleaser or a man-pleaser? It seems we have a lot of menpleasers. I am ashamed for the show of cowardiceness to stand up for what is right. People don’t want to offend anyone. Don’t want to make waves, are indifferent. Well God is offended. That’s somewhat scary. Going against God can destroy a person, and a nation. The America we live in now is not the American our forefather’s fought for, died for, lost all for. Even with character flaws (which we all have) they believed in God, they believed in the Bible. OK, you don’t believe in God or the Bible. A man is born with man parts. Therefore he is a man. Women are born with women parts. Therefore she is a woman. I guess that is too simple to the great intellectual minds out there that come up with all kinds of reasons and excuses to legitimize homosexuality and the transgender movement. You’re not impressing God with your smarts. With the transgender thing. Could someone explain to me “Female, male, somehwere in between”? What does that mean? Like they’ve had surgery for the upper part of the body and not the lower part? Or the other way around. Or they have not made their minds up? Also to quote the article again.
I really don’t get: “even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns.” So that’s the law now. It doesn’t matter that we have a vote on these immoral acts. We cannot by law object. What are we already a communinst country? I didn’t know that had happened already either. As an American I have nothing to say about these things? I have nothing to say about my granddaughter. That as she got to be 10… I’d let her go into a bathroom by herself. Now I’m going to always go with her. Because I don’t know who might be in there! I know the article said they are putting in special bathrooms for people who don’t know what they are?? (spending tax-payers money to do it.) But I realize I can’t take a chance that there is a man coming into a woman’s bathroom dressed as a woman but still having a mans body. Could he molest a little girl? The answer is Yes! Did these great minds think this thing through? Let me figure this out. A small minority gets all their way, plus special privileges. Nuts with the rest of us. We have no say in it. If we don’t abide by laws we did not vote on. We could loose our businesses, etc. The article in this paper mention the word “discrimination” more than once. The facts through out this nation is that Christianity is discriminated against more than any group. We are at war. Is right wrong and wrong right now? That is where we are in this country. We need to come back to God or this nation will keep diminishing.“If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

North Oregon Coast Symphony to host three concerts in July The North Oregon Coast Symphony will present three concerts of classical chamber works in July, its final concert series of the 2015-16 season. The concerts, titled “Traveling with Mozart”, feature an assortment of Mozart’s works, including Symphony No. 31 “Paris” in D major. The programs will be conducted by Cory Pederson and performed by the symphony’s string ensemble, with selected members of the woodwind, brass, and percussion sections. The first concert, an “open rehearsal”, will be held Tuesday, July 5, 7 p.m. at the Cannon Beach Community Church (132 E. Washington). Free admission, donations gratefully
accepted. The first formal concert will take place Friday, July 8, 7 p.m. at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center (PAC) in Astoria (588 16th St.). The second formal concert will be held Sunday, July 10, 3 p.m. at the Rockaway Beach Community Church (400 S. 3rd. Ave.). Admission to the two formal concerts will be $15 for adults and $10 for seniors (65 and older). Children under 12 (with adult supervision) are admitted free. The program will include Mozart’s “Church Sonata No. 15 in C Major”, which features guest artist Ray Utterback on organ. Pederson says, “This is a unique op-
portunity to hear the organ and symphony musicians together.” Other selections include Mozart’s “Mauerische Trauermusik”, two flute duets, a violin/viola duet, a flute/cello trio, and a trumpet duet. The North Oregon Coast Symphony is a group of local musicians and volunteers dedicated to providing live classical music for the North Oregon coastal region.

TEP’s 13th Annual Bounty on the Bay Although the elusive spring Chinook played hard to get this year, the great weather and good food helped ease the anglers pain. “Folks saw a lot of fish out there but they just weren’t biting,” reported Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s (TEP) Executive Director, Lisa Phipps. John Lecarno led the pack capturing big fish, first place overall, and the captain’s award. Brad Philipsen came in second overall, guided by Curt Hedges. The annual event is hosted by the TEP’s board and staff to raise funds to fulfill TEP’s mission to conserve and restore Tillamook County’s estuaries and watersheds. Fishing began early Saturday morning after a fun-filled Friday evening of ‘Tips and
Tricks for Bay and Ocean Angling,” by guide Andy Schneider. Weigh-in opened at 2 p.m. and closed sharply at 4 p.m. This year’s event wrapped up with a presentation, seafood feast, silent auction, and awards ceremony. Keynote speaker, Jim Martin, brought the audience of over 100 to their feet with his passionate and thoughtful presentation on the vital fisheries in Tillamook Bay. We also bestowed the Jim Mundell Environmental Stewardship Award to Liane Welch, Tillamook County Public Works Director. Citing her commitment to partnerships and looking for opportunities to marry restoration to improving our roadways, Board President, Chris Knutsen, praised Welch’s efforts
which have opened up miles of habitat to salmon and other aquatic species. To support this annual fundraiser, our dedicated guides donated their services for the day: Curt Hedges, Greg Hublou, Pat Abel, Chris Vertopoulos, Jon Winter, Andy Schneider, Ted Teufel, Dave Harris, and David Johnson. Volunteers and participants came from all parts of Oregon to help out. This year’s Watershed sponsors were: Garibaldi House Inn and Suites, KTIL Family of Radios, Pacific Seafood, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Trinidad Tackle, Hook, Line ‘n Sinker Sports Bar and Grill, and Northwest Hardwoods.

Rural veterans program nears end, possible rebirth By Brad Mosher
bmosher@countrymedia.net
Nathan Rogers knows his days are numbered. The local navigator for rural veterans is part of a two-year pilot program called Home Base and knows he has been successful. He also knows that the pilot part of the program is nearing its end. It was designed to last two years, leaving a few months remaining, Rogers said. However, there has been a slight extension, the veteran navigator explained in his office in the Helping Hands facility in the Port of Tillamook Bay. “They are going to allow our program to continue in motion as long as the grant funds hold out. Normally, they would reclaim them but at this point, we have between eight and 12 more months of grant funding to utilize,” he said. “We are going to keep pushing and they are in the process of finding other ways to keep us help servicing veterans.” Even though the two-year pilot program may be nearing its end, Rogers said he has no plans to leave the area. The family recently bought a home in Nehalem. “I’m here. This is my community. I am doing this for the vets,” he said. The pilot program was one of several set up by the Department of Veterans Affairs to find ways to improve service to veterans throughout the country. “Right now, they are evaluating what we have discovered in the first two years (in Tillamook County). The need demonstrated will determine the dollars gained,” he explained. One early method WestCare and Rogers used to measure the impact of the program involved social media. “We are at about 10,000 – about 1,000 percent of the contacts and views we needed. So, we are still keeping tabs, but we have exceeded that (original) benchmark by thousands and thousands through media outreach. We did the bulk of it right here in Tillamook County. “Tillamook County has been very receptive to infor-
mation and outreach with our program. It has been a joy to work here and do this,” Rogers said. According to the navigator, one of the keys to the programs success has been in identifying the veterans’ key needs in the area. “One of them was trying to troubleshoot the (Veterans) Choice program. That is the key focus for the remainder of the time we are doing this in Tillamook. “I thought by the second year, it would become easy, but it has gotten bigger and a grander. It has become more joyful, but there is a lot more of it,” he said, looking at his workload in Tillamook. “Tillamook has been very receptive to information and outreach with our program,” Rogers said.
Veterans Choice primary focus Although it was identified as just one of the key needs, the Veterans Choice program will be the main focus of the Home Base program for the next few months as it winds down. “It will be so our rural veterans can access their health care with less difficulty. “Initially, the difficulty was the feeling out process. We had a mission statement and we had standard operating procedures – but like with any pilot program, things change as the variables present themselves. It really came down to the many variables being broken down into key items – then prioritizing them. According to Rogers the primary item for his program in Tillamook County is to work with the veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs and local providers to improve the situation for veterans in the county. He is also working with other service organizations and groups to improve the housing situation for the veterans in the country as well setting up a veteran treatment court. “Our back burner issues are housing and setting up a treatment court,” he said. “They are on our radar, but we have a key mission.” As far as local housing is concerned, Tillamook County already has a great housing task force, Rogers explained.
Social media helps The social media outreach is based on capturing those veterans that are struggling to get their health care and medical care. The concept of that is if we can take one thing off their plate, it will make everything else easier to manage,” he said. “Ideally, we would like to see the choice program succeed here. Then we would like to start utilizing great programs like VetBikes and Heroes on the Water. Those are programs that could be used out of here (in Tillamook). We would like to start developing some partnerships around healthy lifestyles for veterans,” he said. His regional supervisor with WestCare has also asked Rogers to come up with ways to enrich the lifestyles of veterans with healthy activities. “One of the key missions was with summer coming up... being the Year of Wellness, he wanted me to identify programs like Heroes on the Water, VetBikes and the Disable Veterans Access pass for parks program, for healthy enriching therapeutic ways for the veterans to spend their summertime.” VetBikes builds bikes from donated parts for returning combat wounded and injured rehabilitation ef-
forts. Currently, the eligible veterans reside in either Washington or Colorado. It (VetBikes.org) is also a veteran-run 501c3 nonprofit that provides adaptive sports bicycles. Heroes on the Water is a fishing kayak program that was started in 2007 and designed to be a therapeutic activity for veterans. Even though the WestCare program was designed to be a temporary two-year pilot program to evaluate better ways to serve the veterans in rural areas, Rogers said it exceeded it goals. “The changes in service to veterans was brought about by public meetings and networking. I can’t take responsibility for all that. It changed the face of how the veterans are served here – that is due in part from the willingness to serve from the community. Really, they needed a common ground to meet on. I was blessed to be a part of that and bring people together,” the Marine Corps veteran said. He admitted he sees partnership possibilities most of the time, as he works with people and organizations in the county.
in the program locally, he’d like to see it continued by receiving other funding. “I don’t see how anybody could look at a program that has been put on across the nation like this with different missions. Each one fulfilling their mission with a positive result. WestCare was just one piece of that. The findings have been astounding,” he said, referring to the pilot programs initiated by the VA. “Think when they take all those moving parts and put them together in one machine. They are going to have a formula for success with the rural veterans.” The amount of money expended through the pilot programs is just one reason for the VA to follow it up on an even bigger scale, Rogers said. “I can’t fathom them spending this much grant money on such a successful program for the purpose of seeing it become a viable program and then walking away from it. “I think the VA will adopt this as a standard. I would be shocked if they didn’t. But it won’t just be the WestCare model. There
are five other programs out there doing various veterans missions. They have different angles with different approaches,” he said. “We (WestCare) had a real wild card with a freedom of motion and could really be adaptive,” Rogers explained. “With the success we have had, I think we may go away from it while it is being evaluated, but I think it will be back with a much bigger impact,” he said. “The purpose of our program was the rural veteran, so I think the protocols we developed are going to stay rural. We are not going to change the VA. But we are probably going to change the way we do business with the VA as rural counties,” he added. There may be a period of more training for the people in the field, Rogers explained. It also may have a more flexible role in the community. “Our real goal if this program gets adopted by the VA will be to partner with those agencies outside the VA to get things done and supplement what the veteran already has,” he said.

Rising Tide Productions bringing new theater options to area W
ith a board in place, their first production booked and Professional Actor and Director George Dzundza leading the helm, Rising Tide Productions (RTP), the area’s newest theater production company, is ready for new and exciting projects. “The purpose is to give our northwest communities a place to work on projects that are not normally done in community theater,” Dzundza said. “We are a place for those who want to work on difficult or complex projects — if someone has something they want to do, they can bring it to the board.” It’s exactly that type of project that the company took on to be its inaugural production in ‘I Am My Own Wife,’ coming in August and staring RTP board member and local actor, Mark Johnson. “We have been working on this play, in a limited way, since last September,” Dzundza said. “We’re (RTP) able to take on projects that take more time.” Dzundza explained how his new theater company is different from others in the community. “TAPA is generally full in terms of their yearly schedule,” he said. “We can take on less and more difficult projects because our schedule has the luxury of time.” Like the current production in which Johnson play multiple roles. “It’s extremely complex due to the many characters he plays,” Dzundza said. “We’re establishing an entity so people in the community can have
access to more demanding work.” Dzundza said the payoff is, being able to do deeper and more emotional performances to hopefully strike a reaction or thought in those who attend. “Plays give us social reverence, they can give the community a better understanding of their morals — a look at their morality,” Dzundza said. “Hopefully the people performing can give the audience something profound in a personal way.” When this happens, Dzundza said, “It gets people having conversations.” Dzundza said the company and board are looking at many different productions in the future, with the community in mind. “One of the ways you help a community is you put controversial things on the table,” he said. “The determination of what we are, and we are a conglomerate of different people with different opinions, we need to respect and understand our differences.” RTP will be showing I Am My Own Wife beginning in August as it’s first production in the North County Recreation District’s theater.

State’s housing LIFT plan seeks local help, input By Brad Mosher
bmosher@countrymedia.net
Oregon has a housing shortage. A big one. There are shortages from Tillamook to Ontario and from Bend to Portland. The State of Oregon may have a plan to help ease the housing shortages around the state, but it still needs to be more adaptable to local and more rural needs, according to members of the Tillamook County Housing Task Force. In the meeting at Tillamook Bay Community College June 13, Kim Travis briefed the task force on a proposed framework set up by the state’s Housing and Community Services. The state has been working with the Housing Stability Council in an effort to build new affordable housing for low income households. The state has plans for $40 million in general obligation bonds to fund the LIFT program in an effort to add to the pool of available affordable housing. The LIFT (Local Innovation and Fast Track) program is focused on developing an efficient use of funding while
trying to maximize the impact it could have throughout the state, according to Travis, a housing integrator for the program. The goal of LIFT is designed to create a large number of new affordable housing units to serve low income residents, while also serving rural communities of less than 25,000 people and communities of color. In addition, the program should push for affordable housing as quickly as possible while identifying ways to innovate and lower the costs of affordable housing.
Applications in September The program will be accepting applications in September for the grant money, with a decision planned by December, Travis said. Each of the applications will be scored by how well it meets certain criteria. One area of the program that could be important to Tillamook County is the focus on rural communities smaller than 25,000 people. Every city and town in the county meets that requirement. According to U.S. Census
estimates, the entire county of Tillamook has slightly more than 25,000 residents. The county’s median household annual income is approximately $43,000, according to the census estimates.
ity
Hispanics largest minor-
According to Travis, the largest non-majority ethnicity in the county is Hispanics, with slightly more than nine percent. More than 45 percent of that group is considered to be in poverty. According to the Community Action Team statistics, Tillamook County’s population has increased by 4.1 percent since 2000 and there are nearly 4,000 people living in poverty. That is 16.1 percent – one tenth of a percent lower than the state statistically. The largest group in poverty is single women with children under 18 years old (47.1 percent). It is much higher than the state (40.1 percent). The household income statistics are low in Tillamook County, with the county median being approximately $41,869, according statistics from the yeas
2008 to 2012. At the same time, the state median was $50,036 and the country’s was $53,046. For renters, the median income was more level, with both the county and the state at slightly more than $30,000 in annual income, while the federal statistic was a little higher at $32,212. According to the statistics released at the meeting, the county has 920 households making 30 percent of the median (less than $12,561) annually. They are considered to be extremely low income. Very low income is where the household is making 50 percent of the median annual income ($20,935). There are approximately 1,405 households in Tillamook County earning between 31 percent and 50 percent of the median household income. There were 1,720 households considered to be low income ( earning between 51 percent and 80 percent) households in the county. Even if the state increases the minimum wage, the county housing problem may be hard to change. Travis said the state will probably use Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.)
statistics to evaluate income for the counties. “We’ll stick with the H.U.D. calculations, but we are not going to be kicking people out if they start earning more money,” she said. “There is going to be a little bit of flexibility and allow people to have more housing security.”
Local visit Travis, who in recent months met with Erin Skaar of C.A.R.E. Inc and Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein, told the members of the housing task force that the state will be accepting applications in September for grants. The county may not exactly fit the protocols that are currently being assembled, Skaar said during the meeting. Skaar said that the county hopefully would not be put at a disadvantage because of the population statistics and ethnic makeup of the area. According to Travis, many of the counties have similar concerns and are trying to address them, The state official has been
busy. “I am meeting with counties all across the state. I have been to lots of counties and I wanted to meet with that group (in Tillamook),” she said. “It seems like the appropriate place to have a conversation. “In different counties, the discussion about housing can look different. It seemed most appropriate to have the discussion with that committee. Not all counties have these committees so it is harder to convene with people,” she explained. Tillamook is not the only county trying to address housing shortages, Travis added. “There is a committee in Curry County but I don’t know if Curry County has adopted it as a formal process. But, I know they are meeting as a county. In other places, like Pendleton, it has a committee for the city,” she added. As an example, she also mentioned the larger city of Bend in central Oregon also has a city-based housing committee. “It is different in different parts of the state.”

Saving the oceans one bite at a time
The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia . “The choices we make one meal at a time, add up. Together we can make a big difference.” Monterey Bay Aquarium We all know our oceans are in trouble. The reality of what sort of trouble our greed has gotten us into can be a bit overwhelming at times. Where do we start to help out? Once again, the answer comes back to consumption and voting with our dollar, the most powerful way. One of the ways that we can make a difference and support our oceans is to start eating fish that have sustainable populations. They are sustainable seafood. The easiest way to figure out if a fish is a sustainable seafood is by its size. If the whole fish can fit on your dinner plate, it is a good guess it is sustainable. Smaller fish are lower on the food chain and tend to be abundant and fast-reproducing. Bigger fish are naturally higher up the food chain. They live longer and take a more time to grow to sexual maturity and reproduce. Since they are at the top of the food chain, there aren’t that many of them anyway. All this combines to make them very vulnerable to overfishing. Sharks, swordfish and the giant blue fin tuna are some examples of these fishes that are in jeopardy. In fact the magnificent blue fin tuna is highly endangered down to only 3% of its 1960 population. Unfortunately, these fish continue to fetch a price tag as giant as they are, up
to $200,000 per fish. The other motivation to eat smaller fish is for health reasons. The larger the fish the more mercury, PCBs and other lovely toxics it has in it. The pollutants we generate from human needs, like burning coal, wash into our ocean and are absorbed by the plankton which in turn accumulates up the food chain to the large, older fish. The higher on the food chain you eat, the more concentrated contaminates you are likely to ingest. Another consideration on sustainable seafood is the way the fish is raised and caught. Farmed salmon is not considered sustainable since the practice of raising these fish is taking such a heavy toll on the environment and the wild salmon populations. Farmed tilapia is sustainable though, since they are raised in a closed system that doesn’t affect the environment. Try not to buy any seafood from overseas as they usually catch their fish in extremely unsustainable ways, like drag netting. Steer clear of the farmed fish and shellfish from overseas as well. The environmental practices in those countries tend to be lax and have the attitude that about anything goes. Fortunately for us here in the abundant NW, there is a lot of sustainable seafood that we can enjoy. Dungeness crab, albacore tuna, mussels, oysters, clams, Alaskan wild caught salmon and Oregon pink salad shrimp are just a few that are sustainable. But gone are the days guilt free eating of red snapper, Pacific rockfish, Atlantic cod, orange roughy,(who lives to be 150 years old!) and blue fin tuna. If we all start to demand that only sustainable seafood is offered at our local restaurants and fish markets, the blue fin just might make it. Many top chefs, including Emeril Lagasse, have pledged not to serve unsustainable seafood in their restaurants. Wal-Mart is even getting on the bandwagon and going to have only sustainable seafood in their stores starting in 2011. So if Wal-Mart can do it, why not us? For an in depth list of sustainable and unsustainable seafood go to seafoodwatch.com and check it out. You can print a pocket sized list of sustainable seafood from that site and help save our oceans, one meal at a time.
Shrimp Caesar Salad
T
his Caesar salad highlights our very own Oregon pink salad shrimp. They are very fast producing and delicious to boot! You can substitute water for the olive oil if you would like to lower the calories in the dressing. Make sure and ask to smell the shrimp before you buy them. If they have an ammonia like smell, do not buy them and ask if they have some fresher. Rinse them in fresh water when you get home and use them that day.
