School districts adopt transgender guidelines

By Jordan Wolfe

T

ransgender students across the country have been given clarity of their rights in school and a multitude of protections, following unprecedented new guidelines released in May. According to the Oregon Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education’s new guidelines, students who identify as female, male, somewhere in between or refuse to identify at all are to be allowed use of their preferred name or bathroom that corresponds with their gender, not their anatomy.

Tillamook County schools are embracing the change.

“This isn’t a choice. We’re not trying to push a movement,” said Randy Schild, superintendent of Tillamook School District No. 9, “There is not a lot of grey area. If a student identifies as a different gender than what they were born, they have the right to use the bathroom they identify with.”

The Oregon Department of Education’s 15-page document cited federal law, “Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) generally prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded programs and activities,” the document reads.

The documents state that discrimination

Greg Kelley, social studies teacher at NeahKah-Nie Middle School and the 2016 Day of Service coordinator said the annual event, geared towards community service, has been ongoing for the past several years.

“All students are split up, usually based on where they live,” Kelley said, “We try to keep them in their home areas as much as possible to give them a connection to the area they live in.”

The students of Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School worked on 12 different sites from Bay City to Oswald West State Park, according to Kelley. At every one of the different sites, he

ith a playful smile, Max Hooley, Neah-Kah-Nie High School Salutatorian for the class of 2016, said “I’m used to taking second place to Alaina.”

Alaina Holm, Neah-Kah-Nie High School Valedictorian for the class of 2016, said the title was not her endgoal for her high school career.

“When I was a Freshman, I made a goal - not written, but internal - to do well. My parents pushed me to do my best and have a nice transcript.”

Hooley said that, during their early years of high school, the top academic standing for their class would fluctuate between he and Holm.

“She gets A’s that are 98 percent.

Both students said they were actively involved in extracurricular activities throughout high school.

“I really enjoyed the team bonding experience with basketball, and the team playing at state and in playoffs,” Holm said.

Hooley, equipped with his tenor saxophone, said he enjoyed his time in band.

“I didn’t play my Freshman year because I didn’t want to start high school really overwhelmed; it was a zero period, I think.

Towards the end of my Sophomore year, I joined. I’m thinking of playing in college.”

Since obtaining their diplomas on June 3, Holm and Hooley both said they will be going to a University in the fall.

At the time of this writing, Hooley said he has a fairly clear path ahead of him.

“I am attending the University of Portland and declared Biology as my major; I hope to be a Physician’s Assistant.”

Holm, with varied interests, said she is not sure of where her path will lead her at Oregon State University.

“Nothing jumps out at me right now. I love biology, I love history, and I have played piano since first grade. I am looking forward to exploring and learning more and just to get out and have more experiences.”

The memory of Sgt. Goodding will live forever in Tillamook County

he memory of Sgt. Jason Goodding, the Seaside officer killed in February while on duty, will live on at Helping Hands in Tillamook.

The Old Naval Command Center at the Port of Tillamook Bay, which houses the emergency homeless shelter and reentry facility, was rechristened on May 28, as The Jason Goodding Building.

The afternoon featured a ribbon cutting and flagraise ceremony as well.

Gary Albright, director of the Tillamook County Volunteers and those instrumental in assisting Helping Hands get into Pioneer Museum, said, “To Tillamook County cut the ribbon to the, newly dedicated, Jason Good- have one of our biggest buildings named after a ding building, Helping Hands’ facility for Tillamook County.

police officer from Seaside is huge.”

After the dedication of the building, a flag was raised by the Boy Scouts.

“There hasn’t been a flag on that pole in 50 years,” said Alan Evans, co-founder and executive director of Helping Hands, “And it will come up and go down every day.”

He added that the flag raise and building dedication was a special day for Helping Hands.

“Jason came to our Seaside facility and wanted to know everyone’s story,” said Evans. “I am grateful for Jason. He saved my life 15 years ago, because he heard my story.”

In February, during n a warrant arrest in

downtown Seaside, Goodding was shot and killed.

Jason Schermerhorn, Police Chief of Cannon Beach and close personal friend of Jason Goodding, was on hand to receive a plaque honoring Goodding and the new building in which is name is dedicated.

“He died serving the people,” Schermerhorn said. “He had a huge heart and so much compassion for helping people.”

Evans added that the stories of people have changed Helping Hands since its inception. He said people need to not lose focus on what homelessness is, adding there have been

“They’re excited and like doing it. It’s a fun day.”

For the three years Kelley has been involved, he said they meet in the gym, distribute into groups and are out of the building by 9 a.m. and work until around 1 p.m.

“We give them work gloves, water and snacks then pump them up to do positive work in the community.”

Kelley thanked First Student, the school bus service, for transportation during the

day.

“We’re also lucky that the Lions club donates and puts on a barbecue lunch for the kids and volunteers,” he said. “Their reward is a nice days work and a free meal out of the deal.”

At some of the sites, the students were able to accomplish much in their short time.

“We were getting emails and phone calls that same day saying the students did so much more than expected.”

Kelley said the annual tradition of community service is a great opportunity for the middle school students to network and see what jobs exist in their community.

But the most wonderful part, according to Kelley, is the opportunity for kids to give back.

“We also have a space where we feature a different winery or brewery. The new distillery at Cannon Beach will be featured as well,” Vollmer said. “They will offer tastings of their products,” she added they will also be offering these products to sell.

Along with every Tillamook County Farmer’s Market, Manzanita’s will offer “Double Up Food Bucks” to offer incentives to purchase fresh, local food for low-income Oregonians who receive benefits through SNAP, according to Vollmer.

Vollmer added Manzanita Farmer’s Market also features a different non-profit organization every week.

“There is a station where kids dog sit. They just ask for a donation. For most of these kids, it’s their first experience as entrepreneurs,” she said, adding for various reasons, dogs are not allowed in the Farmer’s Market, but are welcomed to the dog sitting station.

Vollmer said there will be about 40 vendors, all offering various goods.

“There are farmers, artisans, prepared food vendors, cheese, vinegar, honey, lavender and beauty care,” she said, naming a sample of what people can expect at Manzanita’s Farmer’s Market.

Albright said that the Old Naval Command Center was, essentially, built overnight at the onset of World War II with the help of thousands of people.

“I’m trying to find the names of them all.”

However, Albright noted that the U.S. rushed the military out of the area once the war ended and the building was used for different purposes throughout the years.

With the new direction for the building, he said part of the idea is to save the historic past of Tillamook and to pay respect to, not just the military, but all uniformed services.

Albright added that the current need at The Jason Goodding Building is the replacement of all 91 windows.

Some people care about historic preservation. Some people care about homelessness.”

n Guidelines Continued from Page A1 based on gender identity is discrimination based on sex.

A 2015 statement by the U.S Departments of Education and Justice clarified that Title IX protects transgender and gender nonconforming students from discrimination based on sex. The federal guidelines also state schools are to provide transgender students “equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns.”

South Prairie Elementary, in Tillamook, retrofitted a restroom at the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic year

to accommodate students of any gender, according to Schild.

“We have a bathroom designed in a way where every student has complete privacy,” he said, adding that it is only offered to students upon request.

Tillamook School District plans to introduce gender neutral restrooms in other schools, Schild said.

“The real problem is the high school setting,” Schild said. “With locker rooms, it becomes a far bigger issue.

We don’t know what the plan is for that yet, but it is going to come.”

However, Schild stressed that, “Our first and foremost priority is the safety and well-being of all of our students.”

David Phelps, superintendent of Nestucca Valley School District No. 101, said in addition to typical

boys and girls facilities, the schools have offered gender neutral “family restrooms” since a 2007 retrofit.

Paul Erlebach, superintendent of Neah-Kah-Nie School District No. 56, provided the values for his school district. They include: celebrating our diversity; open, collaborative communication; building positive community partnerships and building a positive school and district climate.

“How many [of these values] relate to this topic,” Erlebach asked. “Probably every one of them.”

Neah-Kah-Nie High School introduced five unisex restrooms, the week following the Oregon Department of Education’s guidelines, according to Erlebach. He added the restrooms are single-stalled facilities with locks.

Aiden DeRoest, a 2014

alumnus of Neah-Kah-Nie High School, came out as a transgender male following high school.

“I was reaching out to the district with suggestions of how to make it more transinclusive,” DeRoest said of a letter he recently wrote to Erlebach and the Neah-KahNie School District. “Only one bathroom wasn’t gendered [in the high school]; the nurse’s. And the other trans student and I were also upset about the gendered graduation gowns.”

Since his graduation, Neah-Kah-Nie High School uses just one cap and gown color.

The U.S. Departments of Justice and Education’s guidelines read to interpret Title IX to require schools to treat students consistently with their gender identity.

This is to happen once the student’s parent or guardian,

Eighty ukuleles have recently found their way to Neah-Kah-Nie middle and high school

By Jordan Wolfe

jwolfe@countrymedia.net

While in Maui last year, Rockaway Beach resident Sugar Brosius said she entered a contest on Facebook that requested participants to write in their favorite school.

She wrote “Neah-KahNie.” “I wanted them to win because I’ve been wanting to get the ukulele into Tillamook County. They are so fun. I am hoping some kids will just pick it up and get totally immersed.”

Brosius added there

was some mix-up of which school was awarded the ukuleles.

“I contacted the company and they said ‘No big deal.

We’ll send ukuleles to both schools.’”

After finding out NeahKah-Nie was the recipient of the prize in January, Brosius said shipping and handling, along with some information getting lost by the company, prevented the ukuleles from arriving earlier at the Rockaway Beach schools.

Brosius said that, while it is too late in the school year to begin lessons, she still

as appropriate, notifies the school administration of the change. School districts do not need proof or any type of documentation at any point during the process, according to the new guidelines.

“I was very sporty, so it was kind of awkward because I had to play on the girls teams,” DeRoest said.

Mid-way through high school, DeRoest accepted he was a transgender male, but did not come out and continued playing on the girls sports teams.

According to the new guidelines set forth by the Oregon Department of Education, transgender females and males should not be excluded from gender-specific sports, programs and activities. Cheer class, homecoming, prom, assemblies and all extra-curricular activities are allowed participation by transgender students. For

example, transgender females are allowed to wear dresses to homecoming and transgender males can play boys basketball.

DeRoest said he had been interested in playing on the boys teams in high school, but the logistics of locker rooms, wearing a sports bra and the stigma of making others feel uncomfortable prevented him.

“Most of the time, the person who is most uncomfortable is the trans individual,” DeRoest said the new guidelines are significant because, according to him, many trans individuals do not come out until adulthood due to a multitude of reasons. He said starting the conversation will allow students of any gender to better accept themselves.

“We’re starting to accept sexuality, now let’s get on the train to accept gender.”

hopes to next year.

Dr. Heidi Buckmaster, principal of Neah-Kah-Nie High School, said, “Thanks for the great donation and thinking of us.”

She added that the staff are already talking about creating a school-wide production featuring the ukuleles for next year.

Other possibilities with the instruments include learnto-play sessions and will be implemented into the middle school’s music exploratory class.

“We’re looking forward to ukulele playing at lunch.”

The high cost of puffing!

I

guess that smoking these days is a sign of being pretty well off. I see cigarettes on sale for $55.00 a carton and that is a long way from those we got for 70 cents back in the 1950’s.

Having been around for quite some time I notice big changes of all kinds with things that have been around for years. Like most kids I started messing around with smoking at a very young age. Somewhere we found some cigarette papers and tried rolling up dried leaves. I think all we got was a whole bunch of coughing and maybe a little dizzy.

Just about every person older than me smoked either cigars, cigarettes or pipes. Some guys chewed their tobacco and that was kind of a macho thing.

Every house had ash trays all around and even fancy lighters were provided. Restaurants had ash trays on every table

and every conference room was equipped the same way.

When you traveled by air there were pretty girls at the airport handing out samples packages of various brands of cigarettes.

Some airlines had both smoking and non smoking seating. I seem to remember that you had to be in the air before lighting up.

I also remember when the tobacco companies would hire young men and women to pass out samples on the campus at the University. I believe there were people on the sidewalks downtown handing out samples. Tobacco companies were major advertisers on both radio and television. Who could forget Glenn Miller and his orchestra selling Chesterfield Cigarettes along with Moonlight Serenades and Chattanooga choochoo.

One summer I had a job in Alaska working on a fishing

The Old Geezer Walt Trandum boat and we could buy cigarettes at a very low price. Since it was a territory outside of the United States at that time, cigarettes were tax free and we could get a carton for 70 cents.

For some reason I decided

been smuggled in from Cuba for the last fifty years. I met some ladies in a bar in Pennsylvania who were cigar rollers.

They talked me into trying one of them and I got sicker than a dog. While I never got the cigar habit I have been collecting Cigar Boxes for many years.

Some of them are probably valuable if I removed all the nuts and bolts and other items I have stored in them.

Smoker’s pipes come in all forms, the rough and tough corn cob pipes and the very ornate works of art that were carved from wood burls. There is a large firm in Seattle that invented the metal Meerschaum pipe that has an efficient filter to take away all the poison.

They are still in business but I have not observed anyone using one for many years.

I am one of the lucky people who got away with smoking for a very long time. Quitting was not too difficult because the person

who said it was killing me was the surgeon who operated on my heart. I would probably have a lot more spring in my step these days if I had quit much earlier.

Kind of ironic when you keep hearing about all the wonderful revenue the government is now receiving with the marijuana laws being relaxed. If the weed doesn’t make you goofy and you get in big trouble you might even survive the new found attack on your body from the smoke. I guess you can eat it or drink it and the buzz will be with you. None of this makes much sense when you realize the State of Oregon is in the booze business and now wants to tap the marijuana bucks and they are also paying for the police to arrest you if you take more than you should. How does a person who is just a little goofy figure out just when to stop?

The real cigarette smokers all went for the straights and only sissies used the filtered brands. Some preferred the Cools with a menthol kick.

Most brands came in two sizes, King or Regular and the hard core smokers went for the long ones with more bang for the buck.

Cigar smokers in our family seldom smoked anyplace but outside or in the garage or basement where the heavy smoke wouldn’t bother the ladies and children. Cigars came in all sizes and shapes and for the younger users there were some that were actually sweet tasting. There is still a big market for very high priced brands and some of those have

The annual North Tillamook Library Book Sale was again a success this Memorial Day weekend. We raised almost $6,755 from the sale of used books and audiovisual materials, and almost $200 from donations.

The sale is a community effort. Volunteers spend time all year round sorting and pricing the books. One hundred volunteers spent time over the holiday weekend setting up for the sale, conducting the sale, and returning the sale sites to normal.

I want to thank the Pine Grove Community House and the Hoffman Center for the Arts for the use of their facilities and tables for the sale. Also thanks to the

Nehalem Valley Historical Society, which provided tables and a bookcase to display materials.

A successful sale is vital to maintaining the North Tillamook Branch Library facility. Thanks to all the people who work on the sale year long, who worked that weekend, and the several hundreds of people who purchased materials. Without all of you the sale would not be the successful community project that it is.

Ann Morgan, Book Sale Chairman Manzanita, OR Rockaway Beach Little Store The Rockaway Beach Little Store is run by the Mills

family and they are phenomenal. I go there to mostly get my milk and snacks but have gone for groceries like rice, eggs, and bread. Their food is fresh, reasonable priced, and the store is well maintained. They are constantly asking my opinion on how they can better serve the community.

They have good business practices. For example, a kid came in yesterday and told the owners that when he bought an item for $2.50 yesterday he was short changed by $15 (he had paid with a $20 bill). The owner started to count his till until he said “you know what, I’m just going to give you the benefit of the doubt” and he handed over the $15 no questions asked.

I also heard they offered

to deliver groceries to a local elderly woman who did not have a ride to the store.

Every time I go in they are super positive and frequently ask my opinion on what the store can do to make it better for the residents. They also offered to take suggestions on items I would buy from them and then stock those items.

They are good for our community and they are interested in helping make it a better place to shop. If you haven’t done an article on them please do. I will give a testimonial. I don’t just want this local, family business to survive I want them to thrive!

Guest Column Commissioners respond to State Forest multiple-use issues

W

e don’t usually respond to Letters to the Editor because we believe people should have an opportunity to provide their opinions on matters important to them. However, when statements or assumptions are made that are not factual or are outright misrepresentations of us or Tillamook County, we feel obligated to respond.

In a recent opinion piece, Bob Rees makes some statements that are not only misrepresentations but are disparaging to Commissioners Josi and Baertlein, the County, and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).

In Mr. Rees’ letter, he attempts to give the perception, by stating numerous times, that state forests are not being managed for multiple uses. He further tries to convince you that the issue about clearcutting is all about cutting more timber and that we need to have more conservation areas to keep that from happening by espousing lack of “Multiple Use”. He advocates that we need more protections for “habitat species headed for extinction”. Mr. Rees mentions that ODF is “clearcutting younger stands” and that ODF needs to “mitigate against floods and drought”. Mr. Rees alludes that the way state forests are being managed now “contributes to declines of juvenile salmon”.

Mr. Rees goes on to say that “these are public forests, let’s manage them as such”.

Mr. Rees’ final comment is that if these forests are “managed sustainably, they will provide a multitude of benefits for generations to come”. In other words he’s trying to convince you that state forests are not being managed sustainably or for multiple uses.

Mr. Rees wants you to believe that we are headed for a train wreck and we need to turn the ship because if we don’t all the important attributes of sustainability and multiple use will be in danger. This could not be further from the truth.

Here are the facts: Over

one half of Tillamook County is being managed by ODF, who are the stewards of these forests and their habitats. Did you know that 38 percent of the Tillamook State Forest is already set aside for no timber harvest? These areas include riparian zones along streams, High Risk Sites for landslides, Salmon Anchor Habitats, recreation sites and trails, and areas with poor, shallow soils. Spotted Owl and Marbled Murrelet habitats are also protected.

And yet, Mr. Rees would give you the impression that there’s very little forest conservation and we need to reduce harvesting and increase the protected areas from 38 percent even though the remaining 62 percent is managed to produce a variety of forest habitats across the entire landscape.

Mr. Rees mentions that ODF is clearcutting younger forests. What would be ODF’s goal in doing that?

On the forest tours we attend, we don’t observe this practice occurring and it certainly does not make economic or environmental sense. The only thing we agree with Mr. Rees on is that ODF is converting Swiss Needle Cast diseased Douglas fir stands.

In the 1950’s, ODF should have replanted the burned over coastal strip timber lands with disease-resistant Hemlock trees but Hemlock seeds and seedlings were unavailable, thus leading to the Douglas fir plantings in the coastal Hemlock zone.

This is a mistake we believe ODF will not repeat.

Mr. Rees alleges multiple uses are either not happening or are severely limited in the Tillamook Forest. We respectfully disagree. The Tillamook forest provides a multitude of recreational uses, which are supported by 116 miles of trails used by hikers, horse riders, and motorcyclists. Last year about 38,000 people camped in the nine campgrounds and five off-highway (OHV) staging sites.

Many more people used the seven additional day-use

areas, for picnicking and sightseeing. Did you know the Tillamook Forest Center along Highway 6 hosted 5,000 students last year?

Tourists stopping for a visit to learn about the forest and its transformative history also add to the visitor count.

Fish are also considered a multiple use. Mr. Rees gives the impression that current forest management conflicts with fish conservation and that we need more protected areas to preserve the habitats that support our fisheries. There are five major rivers that flow out of the Tillamook State Forest and support Tillamook Bay’s “world class” fishery, most notably for famous Chinook salmon. The Tillamook Forest produces significant numbers of young salmon, which begin their life cycle in the headwaters.

A few years ago, ODF and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife placed non-lethal fish traps on a few tributaries to research how many young fish were being produced and outmigrating to the ocean. One trap was on a tributary to the Wilson River called the Little North Fork of the Wilson River—it’s just as you enter the forest past the Wilson River RV Park on the left. In just one year, 1.4 million Chinook, 154,000 Coho, and 11,000 steelhead fry out-migrated from the Little North Fork. This 12-mile long Wilson River tributary is only one of an expansive tributary network of the five rivers in the Tillamook State Forest. It tells us the forest is producing a lot of fish under ODF’s forest management regimes.

Mr. Rees would lead you to believe the whole system is going down the tubes and we need to set aside more of the forest with more conservation areas.

Mr. Rees mentions floods and drought. As we know, forests trap water and sediments, and shade streams to retain cool water temperatures. ODF annually spends millions of dollars replacing culverts and bridges to improve fish passage and creating drainage systems

to divert water off roads.

While the forest is managed to trap sediments as much as possible, sediment retention can be difficult when the forest receives over 100 inches of rain, sometimes over a short duration.

Lastly, Mr. Rees leads you to believe the Tillamook State Forest is clearcut heaven. We encourage you to take a drive into the public forest and take a look for yourself. Most of the roads are open to the public.

Do you see devastation that requires harvest reductions or locking up the forest in more conservation areas?

What you will see is a wellmanaged forest with a variety of forested landscapes.

Yes, you will see clear-cuts.

We need a variety of forest structures across the landscape, like open stands that provide deer and elk forage.

We also need older forests that provide valuable habitat for species such as voles, Spotted Owls, and Marbled Murrelets. We assure you ODF is cognizant of the need for producing revenue for our college, schools districts, and yes, the county, so we can continue to provide law enforcement, health, planning, juvenile, and election services, to name a few.

After the four fires – commonly called the Tillamook Burn – the forests were deeded by the counties to the State for the purpose of growing, harvesting, and sustaining forestlands.

Unfortunately, the current Forest Management Plan has so many environmental and recreational requirements in place that ODF is no longer able to pay its bills. They are operating on their reserves, which will be gone by 2020. A new plan is being considered by the Board of Forestry. When the new Plan is adopted, the forests will continue to be managed sustainably and with many multiple uses for generations to come.

Mr. Rees would have you believe otherwise.

Sincerely, Board of Commissioners, Tillamook County

Kellie Smith, owner of Parkside Cafe and Coffee House in Garibaldi has always kept an eye on business expansion and diversification.

She has operated the restaurant and coffee house for the past five years in the city where Tillamook Bay meets the Pacific Ocean but has always looked for opportunities to grow her enterprises.

Smith along with her husband Blair, have purchased and totally remodeled the restaurant next door to her coffee house and they are planning a opening date for Wednesday June 15, ready for the busy Summer season and travelers on Hwy 101.

Smith also plans to keep the Parkside Cafe and Coffee House open while expanding the menu options next door and adding in a lounge with patio seating.

Kellie is excited for this new venture, because she’s built up quite a local following and has always involved members of her family to help out, but most important she will be able to serve her customers better — an important part of Smith’s business plan and something she treasures.

“First and foremost we would like to thank our loyal customers for giving us the opportunity to serve them through the years in our tiny Parkside Coffee House with all of five tables,” she said. “It was very cozy.”

But with Smith always looking for ways to expand, she talked Blair into taking the plunge and the couple purchased a full sized restaurant where she could better serve the community.

“We will continue to serve you in our much larger restaurant and lounge” she said. “We will have a larger menu such as prime rib every Friday and a large selection of steak, seafood and salads.”

But just because her business is growing, doesn’t mean you should not expect the same great freshly prepared menu options.

“We will continue to prepare as much homemade food as possible,” she said. “All of our pastries and our triplelayer cake and home baked pies will still be on the new menu, but we will have the room to do even more.”

In 2010 Smith started Pacific Edge Espresso and a month later she purchased another drive-through coffee shop in Tillamook but that

wasn’t enough.

“I told my husband Blair that ‘I think I want to try a cafe and we ran the three businesses for years,’” she said. “I fell in love with cooking, making coffee and putting smiles on my customers faces and decided to size down a bit, but that didn’t last long.”

After purchasing the little cafe, Smith’s sister Carol Halvorsen came on board to help out and they have been cooking ever since.

“I have to say, Carol is the best cook and pre-baker,” Smith said. “It’s so nice to see people enjoying the things we are doing.”

Along with Smith’s sister, she has her mother, Carol Wismer, they call the ‘preppie girl’ helping out and said her father is the food critic and taste tester. The rest of the family helps out as well especially with the expansion and remodel going on next door, but Smith is quick to point out that she picked the fixtures, furniture and colors of the new restaurant.

Smith used all local vendors to remodel the restaurant and lounge as well, giving back to the community who has supported her over the years.

2016 winners of the John and Alice Dillard Memorial Scholarships announced John and Alice Dillard were the founders of the Nehalem Tel and Tel Phone Company (currently Rural Telephone) and were hard working, salt of the earth, pioneers in the community who firmly believed in the power of education. So much so, they set up a trust fund account that stipulated, upon their passing on, that the funds would be distributed for education.

Since 2002, the Board of Trustees has served the students of the Neah-Kah-Nie

school district by distributing interest funds, in the form of scholarships, annually.

The Board is proud to say that, thus far, they have given out over $95,000 to deserving students.

John and Alice would be delighted to see how their gift has grown and impacted so many.

The 2016 Neah-Kah-Nie winners of the John and Alice Dillard Memorial Scholarship, in the amount of $1,500 each, are: Garit Champ, who will

be attending Oregon State this fall, majoring in Engineering and Jenna Henderson, who will be attending George Fox, also starting this fall, and majoring in Education.

Garit and Jenna were chosen for their scholastic achievements, community service, leadership skills and future goals.

The Board wishes to thank all who applied and looks forward to supporting others in the future.

have a great staff as well.”

In all Smith employs about 25 people between the businesses.

“It’s been a great five years at Parkside Cafe but it was time to expand,” She said reminiscently. “I believe Parkside Restaruant and Lounge will be a great asset to Garibaldi which Blair and I

are very fond of.”

Parkside Cafe and Coffee House is located at 235 Garibaldi Ave. open from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the new Parkside Restaurant and Lounge will be open June 15. It’s hours will be 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. for dining and the lounge will be open from 7 p.m. to midnight.

Help needed to clean microplastic from Manzanita Beach On June 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., volunteers will join Marc Ward and his Blue Wave team to screen harmful microplastic from Neahkahnie and Manzanita beaches.

Microplastic is the name for the confetti-like bits that coat the beach’s high tide line, where people walk barefoot, kids play and dogs frolic. The tiny pieces, residue of larger plastic debris fouling the ocean, absorb chemicals such as PCBs, flame retardants (PBDEs), pesticides and the like. Some of these are proven carcinogens that not only can be absorbed through the skin, but also are eaten by seabirds, fish, crabs and other marine life, entering the food chain.

Kate Eskew, whose family

is from Manzanita, is organizing the cleanup. She needs $1,000 for the one-day event, although a thorough cleaning takes three to six days. If she gets enough funding, she will extend the event. She’d like to make it annual.

Ward, of Seaside, who invented the sand-screening method that creates an electrostatic charge to capture the microplastic, will conduct a training session at 10 a.m., then lead the daylong cleanup. Last year, 200 volunteers worked with Ward’s team to clean 1.37 miles of beach, removing about 350 pounds of debris in six days.

“One thing that always shocks people is the terrible odor a large bag of micro-

plastic gives off,” Ward said.

“You don’t notice the smell when the plastic is spread out on the beach, but concentrate 40 pounds in a trash bag, let it warm up, and it gives off the most terrible chemical smell.

“Plastic on the beach offgasses all summer long in the heat; you just don’t notice it with the ocean breeze blowing. We need to keep all that contaminated material off the beach, where thousands of children play.”

Volunteers should meet at the foot of Laneda Avenue in Manzanita at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Manzanita golfers tee off for charity

In spite of wet conditions, rain and wind, the scores at the Manzanita Open were sizzling. And close to 500 golfers teed it up for a some great causes.

Everyone arrived, played, had fun, and left with a smile on their face (even if a bit wet).

Everyone playing golf was given a hat as they arrived. The hats were donated

by RTI. All of the games, putting

& chipping contests, raffles, silent auction, and food court were run by the Eugene Schmuck Foundation Volunteers with almost everything being donated.

The money gathered by the sponsors, donations, and all the Tournament activities will be used for North Coast Charities such as Scholarships for Neah-Kah-Nie High School Seniors, Neah-Ka-Nie High School Athletics, Food Bank, Hospice, Meals for

Seniors, NCRD, and ever so many other charities. A large portion of the greens fees is also being donated.

The final tally will not be available for a while but we anticipate a very successful outcome.

This year all of the pictures can be seen by opening Facebook under the title of “Eugene Schmuck Foundation.”

Winners in the Men’s division were: T Tymer, C Angelo, G Serria, & J Karas

with a score of 26 (6 under par).

Winners in the Women’s Division were: D. Butter, S. Moran, M. Garin, & S.Stennick with a score of 31.

Winners of the Mixed Division were: The Spady 4-some with a score of 30.

Winners of the Senior Men’s Division were: B. Jager, L. Paluck, B. Thompson, & M. Maginnis with a score of 30.

Special thanks go out to

all the Volunteers, Donators, & Sponsors that made the Manzanita Open such a resounding success.

2016 Eugene Schmuck Scholarship Recipients This year we have presented scholarships to three very deserving Neah-KahNie High School Seniors.

Each scholarship is for $1500 per year for four years, as long as the student maintains a minimum 2.5 G.P.A.

The decision was very difficult this year as all the applicants were outstanding students and community active individuals.

The scholarships were presented at the Annual Awards Night at Neah-KahNie High School on Tuesday, May 24.

The scholarship recipients for 2016 are Alaina Holm, Jamey Sherman, & Ariel Breazile.

Congratulations to these well deserving seniors.

The Fabulous and Frustrating Fava bean

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia .

“The farmers market is the only place left where we interact with someone who grew our food.” Deborah Madison

T

he Farmer’s Market opens on June 10th in Manzanita. Rain or shine, it is a glorious day for everyone in our community. Other than it being a feast for the senses, there are so many other reasons to shop at our local market. (Let me pull up my soapbox, ahem…)

Eat locally, support small farmers, protect our environment, reduce your carbon footprint, connect with your community and food, nurture health, cultivate biodiversity, promote humane treatment of farm animals, slow down, enjoy life AND the food tastes better. MUCH much better.

One of my personal favorite reasons to shop at the farmer’s market is trying new foods. There is always something unusual that catches my eye that looks like produce from another planet, like fava beans AKA broad beans. I’ll never forget the first time I saw them as they arrived in a CSA box from Kingfisher Farms, thoughts of Jack and the giant beanstalk swirled

in my mind. They look like enormous, bumpy green beans that could take you on a dangerous and magical journey.

These ancient beans are one of the oldest cultivated plants. They are the grandfather of the pea family and were the only bean in Europe for centuries. When the Americas were discovered (where most all beans come from) they fell from favor. Favas have been slow to catch on here, in the land of fast, because they are, well, let’s just say they are high maintenance. First you have to shuck them out of their pods, then boil them for just a few minutes, then pinch them out of their waxy skins.

So, why do it? For one, they are nutritional dynamos, loaded with fiber, iron, and so much protein that they have been called the meat of the poor. Supposedly they single handedly saved Italy from a great famine.

For two, fava beans are very delicious with their lovely green buttery flavor. Oh, and they are good therapy for slowing down and getting in touch with your food. Make it a Sunday with friends, setting around shucking the beans. It’s better than chewing the fat!

One of my favorite ways to eat them is to take the shucked bean, (instructions on how to shuck them below) toss them in boiling water for a minute or two till they are bright green. Then scoop them out and squish them with garlic, olive oil, pepper and salt, serve on Bread And Ocean’s baguette and you are there. The magical world of the fava bean revealed.

Our community is very lucky to have so many devoted farmers bringing us many tender vegetables, (and hopefully Favas) coaxed out of the rain drenched warm earth. This incredibly aromatic recipe highlights the spring offerings of vegetables. Use your imagination on what to add, it can be served as a main vegetarian dish or a side.

Spring Market Veggies and Herbs

2 - 3 young spring onions, stalks and all 6 to 10 small sweet carrots 4 to 6 little turnips 3 – 4 small potatoes 2 pounds of fava beans, shucked 1 tablespoons of butter or olive oil 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, sage or oregano (Fresh tarragon is amazing in this recipe, if you can find it) 1 tablespoon of lemon juice Salt and pepper

Slice the onion bulbs into rounds, cutting far up into the tender stalks.

Depending on the size of the carrots, turnips, and potatoes either leave whole or cut in half length ways, rinse.

Boil 4 – 6 cups of water in a large pan.

Drop the shucked fava beans in the boiling water for 1 minute or so, then scoop them out and rinse them in cool water. (Make sure and save the yummy stock water for the next step) Coax the favas out of their skins by slicing a bean size slit in the smooth end with

a knife and pinching them. (They can go pretty far when catapulted this way!)

Compost the skins.

Melt tablespoon of butter in a large skillet; add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes over medium heat till fragrant. Add a ½ cup of the stock water, the vegetables, half the herbs, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few cranks of pepper.

With the lid on the pan, simmer/ steam until vegetables are cooked to your liking, about 10- 15 minutes, stirring

gently now and then.

Add stock water a ½ cup at a time to keep fluid in the pan for the sauce that is building. Add the fava beans, lemon juice, rest of herbs and stir till nicely blended. Remove from heat and let rest, with the lid on, just long enough for all the veggies to get to know each other. Remember, Fava beans don’t need to be cooked long. Serve with some of the sauce drizzled on top and a sprig of herbs for beauty.
