Meet Manzanita’s 2014 Citizens of the Year By Dave Fisher The Citizen

In quest of a community library
1986 was busy year for library organizers as fundraising efforts gained steam and the North Tillamook Library Board was established Part 2 of a 3 part series
By Patty Went For the Citizen
Though the size of a new library was hotly debated, the plan was to go with a 1,600-square-foot building that would house a reading room, meeting room and children’s room and space for displaying art. As early as October 1985, architect Tom Bender was presenting sketches at public meetings. The Oregon Library Association was requiring 2,000 square feet as a minimum for their grants. They went back to the drawing board. “The participation and enthusiasm in the community was tremendous,” wrote Jim Shields in his account of the founding. Several people had given memorial donations for the library. The garden club had an opportunity to sell dahlias, and they gave the proceeds of that to the library fund. Throughout 1986 the community activists were busy. They had established the North Tillamook Library Board as a non-profit, which allowed them to solicit tax deductible donations. Property owners made contributions and many organized activities occurred. Mary Kay Eskridge was one of the major promoters and organizers. Others named in the news clippings were Jim Shields, who served as financial consultant, and his wife Sandy, Jean Prentiss, Ann Knipe, Eldridge Appleton, Helen Janowski, Bonnie Carr and her husband, Warren Zumwalt, Dave Eskridge, Betty Dey, Norman Craig, and Charles and Charlotte Hoskins, Walt and Gloria Stickel, Peter Walczak, Tom Bender and Bob Rieke. Doubtless there were many others. There were pancake breakfasts with the help of local merchants, Greg Movosian and Joe (at Nina’s). The first pancake breakfast was a real hit and they eventually had several at the firehouse. They also held progressive dinners. Carol Povey organized a silent auction. A dessert was sponsored by the Manzanita Women’s Club. There was a pub crawl, a wine tasting party and a musical. They sold used books, t-shirts, greeting cards, Entertainment Books, book bags, etc. They joined the effort with a VFW sponsored dinner, a grade school children Read-A-Thon and High Tea. Numerous individuals donated hours of time and effort. In the words of the draft of the application for the grant in March of 1986 Tom Bender wrote, “Preliminary architectural plans and cost analysis for the project

Catching up with Cal and Dianne Getty to inform them that they had been chosen Manzanita’s 2014 Citizens of the Year proved to be a chore this time around for the Manzanita City Council. The couple was in Victoria B.C., literally “out of the country,” celebrating their 20th anniversary when the council met for its regular June meeting when the announcement is typically made. City Manager Jerry Taylor tried to arrange a special meeting of the council a few days later requiring the Getty’s attendance on some fictitious issue, but that didn’t work either. So on a Wednesday morning, a week after the council hoped to let the cat out of the bag, a group of city councilors, including Mayor Garry Bullard, Jerry Taylor and former Citizens of the Year trooped over to the Getty’s residence and knocked on the door. Said Bullard, “It was as if we were from Publishing Clearing House calling on them to award a prize.” Fortunately, for band of well wishers, the Gettys were at home and they answered the knock on the door; the third time was a charm. “It was overwhelming,” said Dianne, who was initially clueless why a bunch of people shoed up at her doorstep, led by the mayor. “Everyone piled into the house and gave us hugs.” “It was certainly something we didn’t expect,” added Cal. I was over 20 years ago the two former elementary principals from Vancouver’s Evergreen School District moved to Manzanita. Dianne had “discovered” the coastal community previously through a friend and had purchased a house. When it came time to retire the obvious place to be was Manzanita. Cal joined her and the two were married on the beach on a sand dune, as Cal recalls, not far from the house. “We were single at the time and had known each other for years…we shared a common philosophical outlook and had similar backgrounds,” Dianne

explained. A couple they met on the beach stood up for them during a short ceremony. Dianne’s sister and husband were there as well. A couple of weeks later they celebrated the occasion with a big party at their house.
Newly retired, they were not prepared to do nothing and they quickly became involved with Pine Grove Community House. That was in the early 1990s and, at the time, Pine Grove was teetering on the edge of the fiscal cliff. To make matters worse, the building, which dates back to the 1930s, was in a state of deteriorating condition. “The question back then was are we going to sell it or make something out of it?” said Dianne.

Earlier this month, members of the Manzanita City Council got a firsthand look at what was once the Manzanita Fire Hall on Fifth Street to review the condition of the building and see if it could be possibly renovated into a new city hall for Manzanita. Led by city building inspector Doug Dick, the visual tour was a first step as the council hopes by year’s end plan a course of action for city-owned property. That doesn’t mean a new city hall would be built anytime soon, City Manager Jerry Taylor told the Citizen, but, at least, the city council hopes to determine what is possible in laying out the initial groundwork. The “rough evaluation” by Dick of the station’s condition left councilors satisfied for the time Cracks in the exterior masonry wall of the former Manza- being, said Taylor. “As a building nita Fire Hall due to the foundation settling is a big concern inspector, Doug has an intuitive for city building inspector Doug Dick.

he added. “My unofficial advice would be that it would probably cost as much to bring it (the existing station) into compliance as to build a new city hall from the ground up,” said Dick. “There’s some pretty major deficiencies that would have to be corrected it was turned into an office building.” One of those deficiencies is cracking in the exterior masonry walls. “The building wasn’t built to today’s seismic standards and isn’t up to code,” said Dick of the station that was initially built in the 1950s and added onto over the years. Dick indicated that there was evidence that the foundation in certain areas was sinking thereby causing the cracks in the walls. While the goal is to make a decision by the end of the year as to how to proceed, financing a new structure is still up in the air. “The perception is the public is

Manzanita Farmers Market underway, welcomes new vendors Market runs every Friday evening now through Sept. 19, in Manzanita By Laura Swanson For the Citizen
Every market season brings new heirloom vegetables and other specialty products to the market, and this year eight new vendors have signed on to bring their tasty foods to north Tillamook County. Here’s a look at some of the new vendors and their offerings. • Fraga Farmstead Cheese from Gales Creek, Oregon comes to the Manzanita Farmers Market featuring organic goat cheeses, raw milk feta, “goatzarella,” farmhouse chipotle, and Foster Lake camembert. • The Chili Man – “Next to music there is nothing that lifts the spirits and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili,” said Henry James. The Chili Man began his career cooking chili at the Covered Bridge Inn in
Wisconsin. After developing a taste for the hearty Midwest culture, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he worked for celebrity chef Mark Miller, a chef famous for his Southwestern cooking style. During his experience working at the Coyote Cafe, the Chili Man mixed his Midwest roots with his newly formed southwestern
flair as he learned how to treat chili peppers properly, as well as use them in collaboration with other flavors to develop a unique and one-of-a-kind taste. He became experienced in using different flavors and ingre-
dients, such as Kielbasa and Italian and smoked sausages, as well as different levels of heat, to create a flavor unlike any other. In 2004, he won the Las Vegas Flame Throwers World Championship Chili Cook-off, sponsored by the International Chili Society. His savory chili won first in the “traditional” category, although the judges quipped that it was “the most ‘un-traditional’ traditional chili” they had ever tasted. Winning this title put the Chili Man on the map for chili-enthusiasts, and was the pivotal moment that sparked his decision to make “The Chili Man” his new career. To escape the Las Vegas heat and achieve their dream of living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Scott “The Chili Man” and his wife, Merle, moved to the beautiful Oregon coast. • Bennett Family Farms brings its fresh, pasteurized milk from Tillamook County’s own cows, straight to your refrigerator. With all the cows in our county, you’d think the milk from those cows would be in our

Now, that milk in your fridge won’t the miles on it – it will come from your own backyard. • O’falafel brings offers Middle Eastern vegan/vegetarian delicacies to patrons of the Manzanita Farmers Market in a completely equipped food cart. Wraps and platters,
featuring falafel, veggies, lamb and chicken with a variety of salads and sides, and even baklava for dessert, are among the offerings. • Santa Fe by the Sea brings its Southwestern style foods with Indian fry bread tacos and empanadas to the market this year, offering patrons tastes from many regions. • Josh Blewett, chainsaw artist, shows what he can do with wood that will delight
and amaze market shoppers. More local artists this year at the market, including Lolivia Gifts with its arranged succulent gardens and It’s a Soy Thing, featuring locally handmade soy wax candles. The Manzanita Farmers Market, featuring 38 vendors this year, takes place every Friday, now through Sept. 19, from 5 to 8 p.m., at he corner of Fifth St. and Laneda Ave. in the Kamali/ Sotheby parking lot.
Honor Flight brings two local WWII veterans together By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Though the two local area World War II veterans lived no more than a mile apart the past several years, their paths didn’t cross until a story appeared in the May 29 edition of the Citizen about the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. that Manzanita resident Owen Nicholson was preparing to embark on. It’s when that story broke that Nicholson’s phone rang. On the other end was fellow WWII veteran Clayton McCormick, who lives on Clipper Ct., a stone’s throw away from where Nicholson resides. Turns out McCormick, who noticed the newspaper article, was aboard the same Honor Flight that Nicholson was and the two ended up as roommates Honor Flight participants Clayton McCormick (left) and Owen Nicholson during their three-day, all-expenses received a warm welcome at Portland International Airport when they paid, trip to the nation’s capital to visit returned home from the nation’s capital following a three-day visit ear- the WWII memorial. Until that phone conversation, lier this month in honor of their service during WWII. Courtesy photo
neither knew of each other’s existence. Nicholson’s aim, as the subject of the initial article, was to make WWII veterans aware of the program that honors vets of that war with an all-expensepaid trip to Washington D.C. to see first hand the memorial in their honor. Both expressed surprise that they were aboard the same flight. “I didn’t know anyone else in the area was going,” said McCormick. Likewise for Nicholson, who was pleasantly surprised by McCormick’s phone call. “We’re practically neighbors,” noted Nicholson. During the war, the two 89-year-old Navy veterans served aboard ships in the South Pacific, Nicholson on the destroyer USS Reynolds and McCormick aboard the battleship California and later troop transports. The war interrupted their education, but the eye-opening experience of their service to their coun-
try was an education in itself. The two men joined about 25 other Oregon vets for the trip to D.C. The visit included tours of the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, along with other war memorials and a sightseeing tour of Washington D.C. Both came home sporting t-shirts that helped organizers identify them as well as serving as a souvenir of the trip. “They treated us like royalty,” Nicholson commented, excited to finally visit the memorial he donated money towards its construction. “The tour of Washington was great,” added McCormick, who has flown before but had never visited the nation’s capital. Interestingly, the wartime experience is still bringing together people just like it did over 60 years ago when the United States entered WWII following the attack on Pearl Harbor; just ask Owen Nicholson and Clayton McCormick.

Manzanita lowers short-term rental license fee
By Dave Fisher The Citizen
The Manzanita City Council has adopted a resolution approving a change in its short term inspection and rental license fee for short term rentals. The council, in 2010, raised the short term rental license fee to $500 with the provision that up to $350 of the fee would be refunded upon submission of up to $350 in transient lodging tax receipts from the rental. For over three-quarters of the license holders, according to city Manager Jerry Taylor, the full $350 was refunded each year.
While the old fee served its purpose of discouraging those property owners who had licenses but were not necessarily serious about renting their homes, thus creating an increase in the waiting list for those wishing to attain a STR license, administering the program and sending out over 200 refund checks annually got to be somewhat of a headache for city staff. The good news is the waiting list, which prior to the increase was twelve or more, is now down to two, prompting the city review the fee once again. “The refunding aspect
created a significant amount of work in the administration office,” Taylor told city councilors in a memo. “The original purpose of the ‘large fee/partial refund’ approach was to encourage those license holders who rented their house very little to turn them in so that persons interested in renting their house more actively could have a license. It appears this goal has been achieved.” Since most of the license holders were receiving refunds, the net amount to the city, Taylor stated, has been $150, which has been
the same amount received since 2005. Of that $150, $100 has gone into the Civic Improvements Reserve, and the $50 remaining amount is the same amount that has gone into the General Fund since 1994. “In those 20 years, the cost of administering the license program has obviously increased,” Taylor added. Based on a council work session on the issue in April, Taylor crafted a resolution proposing to reduce the STR license fee to $200, with $100 of this fee going into the General Fund and eliminating the refund program.
said Mayor Garry Bullard. “Some people are cheating…some are not being honest in what they report and we are moving on both fronts. It’s a matter of fairness to those who are playing by the rules.” Short term rentals in Manzanita is big business, accounting for most of the city’s revenue. There is a cap as to how many there are at any one time, which explains the waiting list. This past year, the city granted 247 STR licenses, including those outside of the “cap zone.” Of those, 206 are in the zone.
Unemployment rate down from last year
Price tag goes up on Lommen Bridge replacement
In a letter to the Manzanita and Nehalem city councils towards the end of last month, Tillamook County Public Works Director Liane Welch noted that while the Lommen Bridge project over the Nehalem River on Miami-Foley Road is “proceeding to 90 percent design,” the construction cost estimate for the whole project, including a relief bridge, was about $3.8 million over budget following a recent review by Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) staff. In looking to reduce cost, Welch said she asked the design team “to review and try to reduce the project costs.” Among the suggestions were: • Reduce the length of the relief bridge, located approximately 200 feet from the main bridge above the flood plain of the Nehalem River to take pressure off the main structure during high water and allowing water and woody debris to pass underneath. • Reduce the length of the end panels for the relief bridge. • Reduce and employ creative ideas for treating the stormwater from new impervious areas. • Eliminate aesthetic elements of the relief bridge, and • Contact drilling contractors to get a better handle on the drilled pier costs for the main bridge.
For most license holders because of the refund program, the effective result is a $50 increase in the fee, not a reduction. The proposal also increases the fee by another $50 to $250 as of August 1, 2016 with the revenue from that increase going into the Civic Improvements Reserve. The council, with a unanimous vote in favor, approved the rate increase, which will go into effect later this year when licenses are up for renewal. “It’s a first step in some other revisions of short term rentals policy to come,”
“After this exercise and a new cost estimate,” stated Welch, “the project is still $2 million over budget. For this reason, and that the original scoping of the project included only one bridge, ODOT has made a decision to not fund the relief bridge. The county believes this relief bridge will reduce the potential for flood waters of the Nehalem River from overtopping the Miami River Road. The county will continue to seek opportunities to fund the relief bridge. “While disappointed with this news, we can still move forward with the design of the main bridge,” Welch added. “We are still planning the construction to begin the summer of 2015.” The Miami-Foley Road serves as a detour route for US 101, linking north Tillamook County to its neighbors to the south in the event the main coastal highway is closed. If the existing bridge were to fail, that vital link wouldn’t be there during an emergency. In a report to local city councils towards the end of 2013, Welch said, of the $10 million awarded for the project, 90 percent of the amount is federally funded with the remaining a 10 percent a local match. An early estimate had the project coming in at $12.5 million. At the time, Welch indicated the county had the contingency funds to cover the added cost.
In the latest report from the State of Oregon Employment Department for May 2014, Tillamook County preliminary estimates of labor force and unemployment estimates from a survey of households showed the county’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate at 6.5 percent in May, unchanged from the previous month (6.5%), but lower than the year before (7.4%). It was about the same as the statewide rate (6.9%), and the national rate (6.3%). Tillamook County’s unemployment rate ranked 9th lowest of Oregon’s 36 counties in May. The rate peaked at 10 percent in the spring of 2009. It has declined unevenly since then and has changed little for the past few months. Nonfarm payroll employ-
ment estimates from a survey of businesses show that seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment rose by 10 jobs in May to 8,310. Seasonally adjusted figures compare expected changes with actual changes. A gain of 140 nonfarm jobs was expected for the month, and the county’s nonfarm payroll employment increased by 150. The private sector added 80 jobs and government employment grew by 40. Leisure and hospitality added 40 jobs and local government added 50. May’s to-
tal nonfarm employment was 20 less than one year before. The private sector shed 40 jobs and government grew by 20. Local government added 30 jobs and private educational and health services cut 40 over the year. Unemployment rates for other counties can be found at http://www.qualityinfo. org/olmisj/AllRates.

nita to ask taxpayers to help foot the bill. Members of the present city council are on record that they won’t seek any kind of levy, including Mayor Garry Bullard, who is in favor of the city finding other avenues to finance the building. One option to help finance a new building is to sell the
current city hall and land its sits on Laneda Ave., something the council continues to mull. In the meantime, Dick says the existing fire station is safe for the purpose it is currently being used for, but as for converting it into an office building, that’s another matter.

Gone fishin’ and other odds and ends
In the 1980s, when the kids were young and family campouts were our favorite pastime, I took up trout fishing, and even owned a canoe with an electric trolling motor to scoot around the lakes on Mt. Hood. But then we built a house on a couple of acres outside of Molalla and I sold my canoe and put into storage my fishing poles and tackle box in favor of farming tools. That was 30 years ago. With the acquisition of acreage on the Nehalem North Fork in recent years, I finally got around just this past week to retrieving my poles from the attic where they have resided since we moved to the coast ten years ago in anticipation of, once again, casting a line into the water to see what might happen. In the tackle box, which served me well back then, was a copy of ODFW’s 32-page Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations publication for 1984 and ’85. I didn’t think much about until my wife and I stopped in at Wheeler Marina to get our angling licenses and Jim Neilson handed up a copy of ODFW’s fishing regulations guide for 2014. It was an eyeopener to say the least as I compared the two publications 30 years apart. Here’s what has transpired during that time: First, the guide has ballooned to 110 pages and appears to come out annually as opposed to every two years. Of course, in 1984 there was no mention of a website on the cover like there is now, and, if you’re one of those who think this electronic age is helping save paper, you’d be mistaken.

78 pages translate into that many additional regulations throughout the years? Don’t know. I nodded off after skimming just a few pages. What I do know is that it costs $33 for a resident annual angling license nowadays compared to $12 in 1984. As unimaginable as this may sound, I did catch a 12-inch trout my first time on the North Fork. It had been so long since I had felt the tug on the line that I automatically assumed is was a snag. I hooked three more undersize fish that Coastal I released. I’ve always enjoyed my outings on Currents the water and look forward to getting more back into the swing of things Dave this summer, but I wonder, what will Fisher it be like 30 years from now, a $100 angling license accompanied by a 200page fishing regulations guide? I won’t be around long enough to find out and that’s probably a good thing. I’m cynical enough as it is.
The greening of Manzanita
There was a flurry of planting activity in Manzanita the first part of June following the demolition of the Hoffman House Studio. Volunteers landscaped the lot the house once stood creating a much more inviting entryway to Manzanita. A few days later, another group of volunteers pitched in to landscape the area around the visitors’ center and, to everyone’s delight, Mother Nature did the rest ensuring the plants were well watered in the ensuing days. The Hoffman lot, which is a big improvement over what was there, gives one pause as to what the future should hold for that parcel of land on Laneda Ave. Green is good, I’ve always contended. Along with buildings and accommodations for parking in Manzanita’s commercial area, there needs to be
“greens” (as New Englanders refer to them) as well. Instead of a new building taking root there sometime in the distant future, how about a park? One of the things missing on Manzanita’s main street are outdoor public gathering places, green areas, where events could be held or people could just sit and enjoy an afternoon basking in the sun (or rain). The Hoffman Center board made a wise decision to pay as it goes in improving its building across the street from where the Hoffman House Studio stood. At one time, it even looked at a modest plan to spruce up the facility’s exterior, getting rid of the pole-barn look in favor of a more eye-appealing facade for the community arts center on Laneda. In the long run, that’s certainly more doable than starting from scratch and it could happen much sooner than later. It will be years before the Hoffman Center has the funds to build a new building. Hoffman Park? It has a nice ring to it and, even though I never knew Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman, I think they would be pleased. The volunteers who helped with the initial landscaping made a good start and demonstrated what can be done when a community comes together.
Here we go again... Dave Stephens, owner of Manzanita Lumber, must be wondering what he ever did to the editor of the Citizen to deserve the kind of treatment he is receiving in the local press. Last year, you may recall, I inadvertently left his name out of the caption beneath a photo of the Eugene Schmuck Foundation board members. I made amends in the next issue by noting that the “good looking guy” between so and so and so and so was Dave Stephens. This year, Stephens show up again in a picture standing between two gentlemen at the Manzanita Open. I didn’t leave his name out this time; I merely misspelled it. Actually, it was a typo. My fat stubby fingers failed me. Either that, or these keyboards are getting smaller. Just for the record, it’s Dave Stephens in the photo, not ‘Save’ Stephens. (Thank your lucky stars, Dave; it could have been worse.)
Time capsules revealing
You know you are over the hill when they open a time capsule that was sealed the same year you retired. As they uncovered the things that some people thought would be typical for that time you spot items that you are still using. I was involved in the conversion of many company systems to what was the state of the art electronic equipment. I am sure nobody had any real concept of what the future would bring us and we are probably in that same position now. One of my jobs on the submarine that I served on sixty years ago was assisting the navigator. We had to know how to figure the exact time for sunrise and sunset and even for the moon rising. We certainly couldn’t imagine the GPS that provides all the data necessary for navigating and positioning everything from ships to aircraft and drones and bombs. People and stolen phones can be tracked and found along with the culprits who think using other people’s things is a good way to live. I was puttering at my workbench and found a few items that were suffering from the salt in the air. I cleaned them up on a wire wheel and gave them a shot of oil that should hold them for the next fifty years. I found some other items that caused me to do some thinking. Hanging on a hook were my Navy dog tags. Along with my service number they also designated my religious preference and my blood type. Everyone knows that the little notch in them is to facilitate that tag being inserted between your front two teeth so they can tell who just died. The fact that my front teeth are no longer with me I guess they
would have to find another way to use the tags. Another item was a Washington State tax token. It was actually on a chain for a key ring. That aroused my curiosity and memory. I can’t remember how much they were worth. I know you had to have at least three of them to buy a piece of penny candy at the store. They were aluminum to start with and later were made of plastic and The Old out it took more of them to buy that Geezer candy. I am pretty Walt sure they were the product of the Trandum Great Depression that marked most of my early childhood. One more thing that I found was an Eagle Scout badge. Just for a second I thought it was mine and then I remembered that I never made it that far in scouting. I seem to remember that I was short one merit badge that I just never got around to get. Strangely enough it was for bird watching and there were some pretty exact requirements that a great many of us didn’t think were necessary. I think that was later in my scouting career when my fellow Scouts and I had started high school and dis-
covered girls. I remember being the Senior Patrol Officer, and that was a pretty important position. It was just one step below being the Assistant Scout Master. Many years later, when my boys were in the Boy Scouts, I served as Scout Master and I am pretty sure my uniform included the Life Scout badge that was just below Eagle. Had I gone for that bird watching merit badge I would probably be doing a better job of feeding several thousand birds that have made our house a snack shack as they travel north and then south each year. We have six or more feeders with different kinds of food and it is amazing to see how fast they appear when I get everything loaded up in the morning. I had one hit the window the other day and I picked him up off the deck and put him up on a table in the shade with a sardine can filled with water. I kept watching him and thought he was going to make it but during the night he cashed in. I guess we might get points for giving it a try. It’s pretty crazy when you can find parts of your life hanging on hooks in your garage. There were some boxes with all the stuff you need to make fishing lures and even some that I invented that never quite made the grade. I built my own fishing rods for a few years and some of them are leaning against the wall in that garage. I looked them over and they look pretty good. I am sure our family will get a kick out of opening up the time capsule that we have made over the past 64 years. I hope they enjoy it as much as we have had putting it all together.
Letters to the Editor A fast few weeks for the Hoffman Center
As announced, our Studio Building was taken down in a matter of a few days and a brand new community park sprouted in its place. Thanks go out to so many people who made this possible. First: the local family who gave us a $15,000 grant to
help pay for the demolition Second: John Longfellow who demolished the structure and landscaped the lot so artfully Third: Jonathan Feder of CARTM who hauled off five truckloads of materials for recycling Fourth: Karen Babbitt who designed the new park and guided its creation
Fifth: All the volunteers who showed up June 11 to plant the berms Sixth: Everybody else who helped that I can’t remember The lot will be preserved as a park for several years, until a new Hoffman Center structure can be envisioned, designed and funded. As the grant did not cover
all the demolition expenses -- particularly the asbestos removal -- the Hoffman Center is seeking additional financial help with this project. We still appreciate everything that has been done so far. The Laneda Ave. entrance to Manzanita sure looks nicer now. David Dillon Board President

Forest to Sea Day Camp comes to life at Alder Creek Farm
There’s nothing more fun for children than getting outside on a summer day to explore the natural world with outdoor educator and marine biologist, Peter Walczak. Students grades 2-5 will have that opportunity at this year’s Forest to Sea Day Camp, June 30 - July 3, at Alder Creek Farm, in Nehalem. There will be bugs and skeletons, art projects and journals, gardening and collecting samples—just like wildlife biologists! Registration is now open for Forest to Sea Day Camp, which will be held at Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s Alder Creek Farm, 35955 Underhill Lane, Nehalem, Monday, June 30 to Thursday, July 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The $40 fee per students includes four days of non-stop summer learning, discovery and fun. Scholarships are available for this unique and local outdoor learning experience. Day campers will be taking two field trips to nearby state parks, one being to Oswald West State Park to explore the ancient forest. Additional activities include a nature treasure hunt, streamside activities, hiking, fossil hunting and beach and tide pool study. At Nehalem Bay State Park day campers will hike through sand dunes and the successional forest. Estuary ecology will be investigated through collecting or observing small invertebrates and the unique inhabitants of the fresh water marsh. Peter Walczak has been leading young people in environmental education for over 25 years. He co-coached area high school students competing in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, placing first regionally for 11 of the 16 years he and his students participated. Directing and teaching summer day camps for 20 years, Peter is beloved by children of all ages. Peter trained as a fisheries scientist and marine biologist, and was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Middle East, where he organized overnight camps in national parks. Later in his career he served as a United Nations Food & Agricultural Fisheries Biologist. “I am very excited about partnering with LNCT and being at Alder Creek Farm. We have many fun activities planned, and we even have artists leading special workshops with the day-campers. We are all lucky to live in this beautiful region, and I am amazed by how kids grow and learn by being outside in just one week at day camp,” said Walczak. Registration is $40 per student and includes an optional brown bag lunch provided by the Grub Club. Scholarships

The Hoffman Center is sponsoring a staged reading from the novel, “Riva Beside Me: New York City 19631966,” by Carla Perry. The performance takes place on Saturday, July 19, at 7 p.m. A suggested donation of $10 is gratefully appreciated. The script for the staged readings is excerpted from the book, narrowed down to focus on just four of the characters. The cast includes Sarah Gayle as Riva, Hovey Grosvenor as Richard, Ke Edmisten as the Mother, and Wayne Plourde as narrator. Author Carla Perry will be on hand to introduce the show and answer questions afterward. The novel, “Riva Beside Me,” is based on real life, growing up in Manhattan in a dysfunctional family. But the story is one of transition and hope, where humor and love prevail. The story makes it obvious that angels walk among us. Staged readings have already been performed to SRO crowds in Toledo, Portland, and at Canyon Way Bookstore. It has also been performed at the Newport Visual Arts Center. “After experiencing the staged reading at Canyon Way, I bought a copy of “Riva Beside Me,” and have just finished it. I was swept away by the subtle details and enormous visual context gained by reading the novel in its entirety. It was obviously an extraordinary experience for the audience, for the four actors, and indeed for my friends who came with me. I am thrilled to see that you have scheduled additional readings.” Says Barbara Gast, Summit. Paperback copies of “Riva Beside Me” will be available for sale and autographing at the Hoffman Center. The book is also available at Powell’s Books in Portland, and in Newport at Canyon Way, Nye Beach Bookhouse, Things Rich and Strange, and at the Toledo and Newport public libraries. E-Books are available through Amazon, KOBO, Barnes and Noble, and Apple iTunes. For those interested in hosting a staged reading of “Riva Beside Me,” and for all other information, contact info@ dancingmoonpress.com, or call (541) 574-7708. The event will be held at the Hoffman Center, across from Manzanita Library at 594 Laneda Ave. gathered to dedicate a brand new library building constructed with funds raised by, and on land purchased by North Tillamook Library Friends. For more than a quarter of a century, our library has been an important part of the Nehalem, Wheeler and Manzanita communities, as well as a valuable attraction to visitors. Exactly 27 years later to the day, that historical event will be celebrated with a Rededication Celebration. On Friday, July 18, at 2 p.m., the entire tri-city community is invited to celebrate our recommitment to “Building a Community of Learners” with music, cake and celebration. The event will take place at the library on Laneda Ave., in Manzanita. Special honorees for this special Rededication Celebration will be founding members as well as past board presidents, 25 of whom continue to reside in the area. For more information, contact co-chairs Bev Luce (bevluce4@gmail) or Gail Young (gailmyoung@mac.com) or (503)368-5248.

Down by the Riverside event engages county students By Laura Swanson For the Citizen
During the last week in May, every third grader, totaling 290 kids, in Tillamook County was invited to participate in Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s annual Down by the Riverside – three days at Hoquarton Park in Tillamook and one day at Alder Creek Farm in Nehalem. The event is made possible by the involvement of over 40 volunteers and presenters. Now in its tenth year, the event features a series of hands-on natural resource education activities that take place along streams or sloughs to help students gain an understanding of these environments that surround them. Each interactive 20-minute session had the
kids engaged in a variety of learning experiences. From “building a bug” to learn about macro-invertebrates in riparian areas, then they dug right into “chips and dips” to spread mulch chips around the young trees. The “migration headache” activity keeps the kids on the move, as they became birds and learned the many dangers of flying north and south. Artwork was created using plants from riparian areas, as the kids completed “plant bingo” by identifying native plants. The Down by the Riverside activities complement the new Oregon Science Standards. TEP has developed estuary education kits on a variety of topics – water quality, community awareness, watersheds, explore a bay, wetlands, macroinver-
tebrates, animal tracks, intertidal, birds of the estuary, and soils/geology – that are available for educators. New this year, high school students participated in the various sessions as leaders, mentors, and support. Students from Tillamook Options Program School (TOPS), the county’s alternative education program, participated at Hoquarton. An Oregon Youth Conservation Corps (OYCC) Community Stewardship Grant enables the high school students to work on employment and academic skills through service projects. The community partners include the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, the Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership, the Tillamook Animal Shelter, and the Tillamook Pioneer
Museum. Students also work in the Tillamook School District at the Wilson School Garden and with students at Liberty Elementary School. OYCC Crew Members helped at Down by the Riverside leading the Riparian Art lesson and the Migration Headache game at Hoquarton. At Alder Creek Farm seven Neah-Kah-Nie High School seniors-led groups assisted with activities and helped the students complete their tasks. The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership is always looking for people to volunteer at events throughout the year.

From page 1 a revived Pine Grove was the spot for family gatherings, receptions, even weddings. Though Cal isn’t as active as he once was because of health issues, Dianne, as president of the Women’s Club, is currently a member of the Pine Grove board. “I’ve been on the board forever it seems, but in different capacities,” she said, “and have even served as president.” She was also involved with Healthy Families through Tillamook County doing grant writing and fundraising for the organization for a period of ten years, in addition to serving on a TBCC advisory board when
it had a present inside the North County Recreation District. She has also been a Kiwanis member ever since the civic organization began admitting women. Nowadays says Cal, “I’m the wind beneath her wings.” In his younger days, Cal served on The Rinehart Clinic board of directors and Manzanita Water Board when the new water treatment plant was in the works. The couple continues to offer their support to the Mudd Nick Foundation, Rinehart Clinic, and North County Food Bank. “It’s a new normal for us, the pace has changed,” said Dianne as the couple has aged. One thing she can count on is Cal’s support, which is one reason she took over as president of the
Women’s Club of Manzanita/ North Tillamook County. “All of the ladies that volunteer, this award is for all of them. Everyone steps up, we all help each other,” she said. “The whole community is made up of very nice people. That’s one of the reasons we enjoy living here,” Cal added, noting that it felt good to be recognized as Citizens of the Year. “We just want to thank everyone. It’s been a great place to live and we love the community.” That said, don’t look for the Gettys to be moving anytime soon. Over twenty years later, everything seems to be working out just fine – their marriage, complemented by their decision to choose Manzanita as their retirement home.

Manzanita Fireworks booth open for business
With the Fundraiser Fireworks Booth delivered, Patty Rinehart says people are beginning to ask “when is the booth open?” That happened Monday morning, June 23. “It might be a little early for some people but part of the fun is looking at the display to find your favorite fireworks,” said Rinehart. As usual, there will be several non-fireworks items to look over if you are participating in Manzanita’s world-class Fourth of July Parade or having a party at home. The booth is a fundraiser for both the Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem and the Rinehart Clinic, two important non-profits located in the area. A favorite last year seems to have been the patriotic sequin cowboy hats, which are back this year this year. Rubber duckies are back along with the Stars and Stripes visor. Banners, pinwheels, fans, and patriotic fringe to decorate floats will be on display opening day. Get there early to get the pick of the lot. Speaking of lots, the space for the fireworks booth is being donated by the Lee Family of Manzanita Grocery & Deli, with volunteers from the Emergency Volunteer Corp, the Rinehart Clinic, and friends and fans of both organizations. The plan is to be open every single day, 10 to 6 through July 5 with the booth being sold out on that day. Stop by for some real bargains then. Please act responsibly with fireworks. Do not use them near homes or dry grass. Keep matches away from children as they can be a real temptation for them. There are fireworks that are legal to sell to children, so, if your children are buying what is legal for them, be sure you are with them when they are lighting them off. There are also fireworks not legal in the State of Oregon and if caught with those they will be confiscated and you will possibly be fined. Using illegal fireworks at the beach when it is so crowded is a potential disaster for many. Always have a bucket of water nearby to put out matches or fireworks. Enjoy the Fourth of July traditions, and have a safe day and a fun weekend.
Portland firefighter Nick Weichal, at right, was awarded the Silver Medal of Valor recently for pulling two people from a burning car. Weichal grew up in the Nehalem area. Courtesy photo Weichal of Nehalem, jumped into action in March when 12 cars crashed into each other on Highway 26 earlier this year. The firefighter was able to pull two people from the burning wreckage, saving their lives. He wasn’t on-duty at the time, so he didn’t have any equipment or backup, and Weichal says that made the situation pretty nerve-wracking. “I wasn’t ready for it, for sure. It’s always easier to do it with the equipment that you have, and your friends and your coworkers,” said Weichal. “Everything’s easier when you’re actually at work at prepared for it, but when you’re at home and there’s nobody else to help, it’s a little stressful. I’m just glad I was able to get them out.”

Summer writing workshops offered
Creative Journeys with facilitator Gail Balden will offer two summer workshops at the Center for Contemplative Arts in 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. Please send to Gail Balden, 41500 Anderson Road, Nehalem, OR 97131. For more information, please contact Gail at (503)368-7807 or gailbarbara@mac.com. Balden is a writer, educator with over

The other big bonus that was reported is those participants’ personal relationships with spouses, co-workers and otherwise, became richer and more cohesive. That is a lot of bennies for such minimal effort. Good trade. As you can imagine with me, everything comes back to food. Every single day I am grateful for the abundant and clean food our valley produces. Walking through the farmer’s market this week, I just enjoyed oohing and awing at the bright colors and smells of all the food there. What a feast for the senses! I made a point to truly drink it all in, instead of rushing around and filling my market basket, and it changed the experience for me. This salad is a true practice in gratitude. It is a gesture of appreciation for our freedom that was hard won by many. You can prepare the roasted beets, the puree, and the vinaigrette a couple days ahead of time, which make putting the salad together a snap. Make sure and peel the beets as soon as they cool enough to handle them. (Much easier.) I am so grateful for you dear readers. Happy Fourth of July and stay safe!

For the vinaigrette
Wildlife viewing photos are among the categories one can submit a photograph. Contest closes August 1, 2014. Courtesy photo
five categories: fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming and wildlife viewing. Each winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to
2 TBS of champagne or white wine vinegar 2 TBS of white wine 1 TBS of lemon juice 1 TBS of Dijon mustard 1 TBS of the beet puree 2 tsp of honey 1 small garlic clove, minced fine 1 TBS of minced rosemary 1/4 tsp of both salt and pepper 1/4 cup of olive oil
For the salad
1 pint of fresh blueberries 4-6 cups of baby arugula or salad greens 6 pieces of pancetta 4 oz. of feta or blue cheese For the beets - Turn on the oven to 375 degrees and slice the beets into quarters. In a small baking dish add the wine, thyme, rosemary and about 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Stir it up and nestle the beets in the liquid, cover with foil, and roast in the oven till the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about an hour. Let the beets cool then set the beets on a cutting board (that you don’t mind stained red) and peel them and chop them into smallish wedges. Measure out one cup of the beets and chop those into smaller pieces. Place the one cup of chopped beets and 1/4 cup of the roasting liquid, a 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper in a blender and puree. Save
that for a grand entrance later. Make your vinaigrette by putting everything, but the oil, in a jar and shaking it up. (Hopefully, you have the lid on the jar.) Add the oil, and shake some more. Done. Take out a small frying pan and fry the pancetta for a few minutes on each side over medium heat till wrinkly and crisp. (In Italy they don’t do that, FYI.) Okay, now onto the assembly. Dollop a spoonful of the beet puree evenly among six salad plates. Arrange the beet quarters and blueberry on the plate, toss the arugula in some of the vinaigrette and arrange on top of everything. Sprinkle feta cheese in the middle, a piece of the pancetta on top of that and drizzle any remaining dressing over everything then serve with gratitude for all this abundance.

Mudd Nick-financed PX2 training keeps on rolling
The personal growth experience for Neah-Kah-Nie students completes year six
This spring 16 Neah-KahNie Middle School students and two students from NKN High participated in PX2 training, a program created by the Pacific Institute in Seattle that, the institute maintains, “helps youth recognize that they do have choices in life.” The most recent two-day, two-night training session held the end of April marked the second year the training, developed and implemented by the Mudd Nick Foundation, was held at the Twin Rocks Friends Camp facility in Rockaway Beach. It was the sixth year the Mudd Nicks have supported NKN youth involvement in PX2. “The Mudd Nick Foundation believes that the PX2 training is a life-expanding
experience that provides tools for personal growth that will have a long term positive effect on the participants and the communities they live in,” said Donna Miller, program coordinator for the Mudd Nick Foundation. PX2 training, said Miller, is a step-by-step process that exposes participants to an awareness, understanding and appreciation of their own potential resources and natural talents, a stronger belief in their own ability to try and succeed at great things and an expanded vision of the many possibilities and alternatives which are available to them that they may now be missing. “Not only did the students participate in the 12-lesson PX2 training, but they also had opportunities for social bonding with one another in recreation activities and meal sharing,” Miller noted. “The training was an all-around fantastic learning opportunity
for these students.” The training this spring involved 7th graders identified and selected by their teachers as potential leaders, three peer mentors, who successfully participated in the training previously; along with two presenters, Miller and Joan Henderson. The goal of the training is to help youth recognize how their mind works. The PX2 program strives to show them how they can control the way they think to help build success, how their thoughts affect how they act, and they can use that power to change the way they live their lives. It’s a program the NeahKah-Nie School District continues to embrace and one that students and instructors alike have benefitted from. And, as is the case with all Mudd Nick FoundationNeah-Kah-Nie students and Mudd Nick Foundation advisors gather for a group photo at the Twin Rocks Friends sponsored programs, all the Camp during their PX2 training retreat sponsored by the Mudd Nick Foundation. Courtesy photo expenses for the camp and training were paid 100 percent by the Mudd Nicks.
