‘Scary’ best describes recent Neahkahnie fire
In wake of July 8 fire, area residents look for ways to help avoid future fires and minimize damage By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Josh Uithof could hardly believe his eyes, but, for that matter, neither could anyone who first witnessed the wildfire that raced up a hillside from the beach at Neahkahnie in the early evening hours of July 8. Uithof was headed home shortly after 6 p.m. and had just pulled up at James Rd. just past Beulah Reed Rd. when he looked back and saw a ten-foot high flame shooting out of a log on the beach. In a matter of seconds, the fire marched up the hillside with flames as high as 30 feet or more. The flames disappeared but it was apparent to Uithof that there were houses next to the steep bank that had caught fire. “It was surreal,” Uithof told the Citizen. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” Uithof, if not the first, was among the first people to call 9-1-1 and report the fire. He stayed until firefighters arrived and even went down to the beach with buckets to where the logs were on fire. By that time, a number of people on the beach pitched in, filling buckets with sand to help fight the blaze.
Linda Cook, a Neahkahnie resident three blocks away from the scene, witnessed the effort. “There was so much spontaneous help going on, with people with buckets and plastic bags of sand and water being dumped on the smoldering logs,” she said. Cook, an accomplished photographer, took a number of photographs of the volunteer effort, a smoldering hillside and the houses set ablaze. “The wind was so severe, smoke was everywhere and flames were flying around. Everyone seemed to be wondering ‘What house is next?’” Cook added Up the hill the fire and smoke drew the attention of Bob and Donna Joseph. “It was pretty scary,” said Bob Joseph, who, like Cook, grabbed his camera and began taking pictures. “A flash of flame appeared over a house and then it turned to smoke. We tried to call 9-1-1 but the line was busy…the smoke didn’t subside.” Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue received the call at 6:27 p.m. and arrived at the scene shortly after. With four houses involved, two of which were severely damaged, the fire went to a second alarm. Firefighters from Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Cannon Beach and Oregon Department of Forestry were called in to assist, while members of the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay A charred hillside, void of vegetation, is all that’s left after a wildfire that began on the beach in a pile of driftassisted with traffic control. wood raced uphill and ignited four homes.

Looking down on a great Fourth of July parade!
If Manzanita’s Fourth of July parade is beginning to look the same year in and year out, you might want to take a page out photographer Laurie Excell’s book and try viewing it from a different angle. “I was standing at the corner of Laneda and Ocean Rd. filming the Manzanita Fourth of July Parade with my DJI Phantom 2 “Aerial” (drone) with a GoPro camera attached,” Excell told the Citizen. “Using a remote control I was able to direct it from the ground while filming the parade from this unique, elevated angle.” The result, shown here, was a view of the parade rarely seen, if ever seen. Said Excell, “I wanted to photograph the festivities from a unique perspective. This was my first Fourth of July event in Manzanita… what a wonderful way to enjoy this special holiday than on a beautiful day at the beach. Manzanita’s Fourth of July celebrations more than lived up to their reputation and exceeded my expectations.”

Meet NCRD’s new general manager By Dave Fisher
Including E-Edition
New NCC editor named
Nearly four months into the job, Steven Cangelosi, the North County Recreation District’s new general manager, is excited to be part of an organization that has been around a long time, weathered storms and is headed in the right direction, as he sees it. Cangelosi, who replaced Peter Nunn as GM, came on board April 9. Born and raised in Baltimore, he’s a long way from his East Coast roots. Graduating from Pennsylvania’s York College with a degree in recreation administration, Cangelosi knew at an early age what he wanted to do. To augment his college educa-
tion and help pay for it, he held a variety of jobs in, what else, recreation. During a two-and-a-half hear stint with Royal Caribbean cruise lines he visited ports of call in the Caribbean, Alaska, Hawaii and the Panama Canal. “I always wanted to do the Panama Canal…it was awesome. Alaska ended up being my last cruise and that’s when I first got acquainted with the Pacific Northwest and fell in love with it.” Other recreationaloriented positions helped mold him, including wilderness training with youth in Georgia and stints with the YMCA. Another opportunity brought him back out west to Tacoma. “I found the career I wanted before I knew there was a course of study for it,” said Steven Cangelosi, NCRD’s new general manager, is a recreational enthusiCangelosi. “My experience ast, himself, and excited to be living on the north Oregon coast.

Karen Reddick-Yurka became the new “Evangelist In Chief” of CARTM on July 1, replacing Jan Hamilton upon her retirement as Executive Director.
tasks in order to spend more time in the community promoting waste reduction, forging new partnerships and maintaining strong relationships with the three cities and Tillamook County leadership. Karen explained that her dream for CARTM is to continue to find new ways to innovate trash reduction. She believes the time is right to incubate industries that reuse material locally. One example of such an industry that CARTM currently provides material for is a Lincoln County company that turns asphalt roofing shingles into road patching material—a model of innovative environmental industry development. Tillamook County is ready to welcome other similar businesses and technologies. CARTM is busy with entrepreneurial endeavors of its own. “We’re currently underway with two really exciting new projects at CARTM, both
mission forward.” “I am calling myself ‘evangelist-in-chief’ because of my enthusiasm for waste reduction. I already have a strong understanding of the finances so I can assist with the financial stability of the organization as well,” said Karen. “Because of my upbringing, I’m wired to see the value in every little thing. I feel the importance of reuse and recycling in my bones. I look forward to finding ways to divert more and more from the landfille and seek new uses for discards.” Upon receiving notice of Jan Hamilton’s retirement and in anticipation of hiring the next executive director, CARTM restructured its management team last fall by creating an operations team leader position. Staff member Rolly Boggs was promoted to the new position. The board’s strategy was to relieve the incoming executive director from daily operations
begun under Jan Hamilton’s leadership. I’m happy to report that both going very well,” said Karen. “Our new contractor services program is designed to give local builders better access to CARTM, making it easy and affordable to dispose of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and to divert valuable materials from that debris for reuse and recycling.” The C&D diversion program inspired the expansion of CARTM’s reuse facility with the creation of The Rebuilding Yard. “The Yard” supplies used building materials of all kinds, garden and lawn equipment, bicycles and kitchen and bathroom fixtures. These items are well displayed and weather protected for year-round shopping, perfects for do-it-yourself home repair and remodeling. The Yard has been getting great reviews and sales have been brisk in this new endeavor. “We realized in the aftermath of the China’s “green fence” last year, when the markets for recycled materials disappeared almost overnight— and are still recovering—that staying proactive and nimble to opportunity is the name of the game,” said Karen. “CARTM has a strong, dynamic board who is committed to the challenge of Leading Our Community To Zero Waste—they mean it, and I am ready to evangelize for it!” For more information about CARTM, visit www.cartm. org. CARTM’s trio of services – reuse, recycling and debris disposal – is open to the public Thursday through Monday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call (503) 368-7764.
Annual Beach Walk & Run raises $12K
This year’s Manzanita Beach Walk & Run organized by the North County Recreation District, was another great success with 317 registered participants showing up to take part in the annual fundraising event for NCRD, just shy of last year’s record of 350 participants. The weather was just right for the day, said NCRD Beach Walk & Run coordinator Jeremy Hill, “overcast with mid 60s and no wind in sight.” Elliot Minor, 17, from Niwot, Colorado finished first in the 5K run with a near record-breaking time of 17:31. Finishing second in the 5K run was Aaron Scovel with a time of 18:50, followed by Brock Roberts of Portland with a time of 20:29. The 10K runners had equally impressive times as well with Philip Evans finishing first with a time of 38:27 and second-place finisher Jon Mathiesen hot on his heels with a time of 38:35. The Nehalem Elementary S.H.E. Warriors joined the fray again this year with 15 participants, five of which participated in the 10K event. Those S.H.E. Warriors participating in the 10K run made a sweep in their age division awards with Emma Miller, 1st place, Dinah Schultz, 2nd Place, Jordan White, 3rd, and Damaris Avalos, 4th place. The event raised $12k for NCRD, which will be put towards the creation of teen programming. Helping make this year’s event another great success, said Hill were the volunteers. “I calculated the volunteer hours involved and we had over 100 hours of volunteer time during the event.” Next year marks the events 25th year and is set for July 18, 2015.

There is a new diva at the dump. On July 1, Manzanita resident Karen Reddick-Yurka began her new position as CARTM’s fourth executive director. After an exhaustive national search which did not deliver a candidate, CARTM’s board of directors unanimously voted to offer the position to Karen and were delighted when she accepted. “The board is committed to taking a strong leadership role and believes CARTM is ready for the new challenges it will face as we move forward,” said Linda Kozlowski CARTM’s new board chair. “We are all excited and very optimistic about Karen’s appointment and our next phase, and we couldn’t agree more with Manzanita mayor Garry Bullard when he says that sometimes the best choice for future leadership is right here at home.” A life-long environmentalist, Karen served on the CARTM board for the last seven years and was the chair of the board for the last four years. Her tenure in this capacity has given Karen a deep understanding of the complexity of CARTM’s business model. This along with her keen interest in reuse and zero waste, which she lives and breathes daily, has landed her squarely in the right place at the right time. “It never occurred to me to consider taking the ED position, but when it was offered by the board it seemed like the right thing to do. CARTM is at a point of stability and now is the time to look long-term for new opportunities to move the

Unplug Everything and Save our mother always told you to turn the lights off when you leave a room. Add your TV, computer and cell phone charger to that list. Your electronic gadgets guzzle less electricity when they’re turned off than when they’re turned on. Yet most appliances still use electricity when they’re turned off. Even “standby mode” requires most appliances to leave some circuits on, waiting for the command to activate. And your cell phone or iPod charger keeps using electricity if you leave it plugged in after you disconnect the phone or the iPod from it. In fact, as much as 13 percent of home energy use might be from electronics on standby, estimates one study. Even more is wasted on devices like stereos, cell phone chargers and kitchen appliances that are turned off but still plugged in. Some people call this waste of energy “vampire power.” Your best bet for energy savings: Unplug everything when you’re not using it. Don’t be a vampire!

News/Commentary Library rededication event celebrates community By Dave Fisher The Citizen

On a sunshine-filled afternoon July 18, upwards of 75 people gathered at the Manzanita Branch of the Tillamook Library for a rededication celebration, 27 years to the day the library was originally dedicated. While paying tribute to special honorees – the founding members as well as past board presidents, most of whom were in attendance – Kay Stepp, current board president of the North Tillamook Library Friends, asked those gathered to rededicate themselves to ensure the library is sustained in future years. “We want to be sure that we have this library 27 years from now,” said Stepp. This past year, the building has begun showing its age with the development of water leaks and the exterior west wall showing signs of deterioration over the years. “It’s been a combination of things,” Stepp told the Citizen, and an important reason the community needs to continue to support the library. “The main message here
is that this library started with citizens coming together and doing something that no one thought was possible. People not only supported the library financially but gave of their time as well,” Stepp added. Today, the Manzanita branch of the North Tillamook Library is a unique partnership of two groups, the North Tillamook Library Board and the Tillamook County Library System. The North Tillamook Library Board owns the land, library building and furnishings, pays for utilities and maintains the library building and grounds. The Tillamook County Library system provides for books, periodicals, computers and a library staff. And, as they did in 1987, the community gathered last week to rededicate the library building that was constructed with funds raised by, and on land purchased by North Tillamook Library Friends benefitting citizens of Nehalem, Wheeler and Manzanita, as well as visitors to the area. In celebrating its recommitment to “Building a Community of Learners,” the Friends not only celebrated
the past at the rededication but the community spirit that is alive and well today. “It was an extraordinary effort for this community back then, but what we’re really celebrating is community spirit. People came together and did what needed to be done,” said Stepp.
Former library board member Peter Walczak enjoys a piece of cake at the July 18 celebration.

It was a nice warm day as I drove by the American Legion Cemetery and remembered that I had failed to stop by and show my respect for a good friend who along with his wife rests there. The Memorial Day ceremony was very nice and it is always impressive to see all the flags on the graves of the veterans. Doc Turner and I served together on the Wheeler City Council many years ago. One year he was the mayor and I followed in that position the next year. In those days, the five city council members, who had been elected, appointed the mayor. Doc was a soft-spoken nice man, but had some resolve that served him through a long career in medicine. I remember a meeting when we were seeing a presentation for a new water filtration system that someone wanted us to buy. Doc made some remark about one of the points the salesman had made and he made the mistake of telling Doc that he didn’t understand the complexity of water systems. Doc told him that he was pretty sure he knew a heck of a lot more about water than the presenter since he had

where Doc and his wife are resting, it was sad to see that the gravesite had not been cared for lately and was full of weeds and ants. That prompted me to break out a big screwdriver and a bucket and I pulled all the weeds and went back and spread some bark dust to make it look better. Some of the ants tried to leave with me, but I shook them off. It was kind of an eerie feeling as I worked away because I knew I was sitting on the spot that will some day be the resting place for my wife and me. We bought the lot right next to the Turners. When they place those flags on the graves for the Memorial Day ceremony, there will be two of them right there on that spot that will designate those people who loved their country and their community, hoping it is a better place for our having been there. I hope my actions were ethical and I am pretty sure Doc would give it the thumbs up that was typical for our friend and his family. I think he would appreciate my dressing up the neighborhood.

David Gillis
David worked in Tillamook County all his professional life, serving children and their families. He was known for his extraordinary ability to listen compassionately and without judgment. David was a beloved counselor in the Neah-KahNie School District, in both high school and elementary schools, for 17 years. He later worked as a social worker for Tillamook County Family Services and had his own private practice. David was pre-deceased by his mother Clara (Holey) Gillis and his father George Angus Gillis who resided in Garibaldi for 20 years. David is survived by the love of his life, Jane (Davidson) Gillis, to whom he was married for 41 years. He is also survived by his son Danial Gillis and his daughter Karen Gillis, and by step daughters, Vicki Lesh, Susie Lesh, Gretchen ( Lesh) Rowe, and Tammi
Lesh, and by 16 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Dr. Vincent Gillis of McMinnville, his sister Twila (Gillis) Springer of Port Angeles, Washington, and his sister Carol (Gillis) Zetterberg of Langhorne, Pennsylvania. David was a gentle soul. He was known for his unfailing kindness and concern for others, especially children and youth, as well as his positive outlook on life, and his irrepressible and zany sense of humor. David and Jane’s home was a peaceful and loving haven for their many family and friends. There were countless meals around their dining room table filled with story-telling, philosophy, and laughter. As a physically active person, David enjoyed hiking, yoga, beach walking and swimming. In high school he was a member of the wrestling team. After retirement, David and Jane enjoyed traveling. They took many amazing trips together, including Europe, Alaska, Mexico, Hawaii, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Florida, and several western states. David had a great interest in a wide range of topics and was an avid reader. It is not surprising that someone who loved ideas as much as David would spend his lifetime learning. He was a member of the national honorary society, Phi Beta Kappa and The Oregon Society of Clinical Hypnosis. He held
a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Portland State University, a Master’s of Science Degree in Education from Oregon College of Education (now Western Oregon University) and a Bachelor of Arts in Education, also from OCE. He began his academic career at Clatsop Community College in Astoria. As a child David lived in Lafayette, Yamhill, and Keiser. He spent most of his school years in Silverton, and graduated from Silverton Union High School in 1964. Creativity flowed through many areas of his life, including non-traditional ways to help his clients, as well as his unique humor. His original, personalized comic cartoons are treasured keepsakes by family and friends, and continue to draw much laughter years after he created them. David’s creative writing expressed his more serious side. For years, David met monthly with a poet’s group in Tillamook. He wrote many poems, which are being gathered into a collection to be published posthumously, under the name of the lead poem, Midnight on the Montana Express. David’s caring ways, bright spirit, and smile will be sorely missed by the many who knew and loved him. Deceased’s Education: A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, August 9th at 10:30 a.m. at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church at 36335 Highway 101, Nehalem. A reception and
celebration of David’s life will be held on Sunday, August 10th at 11:00 a.m. at the White Clover Grange (36585 Highway 53, Nehalem, Oregon) with a potluck brunch/lunch for family, friends and community.

4-H Fair Clean-up Days scheduled
The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum had such a successful response to its Community Tree at the Festival of Trees in 2013 that the committee has decided to have another communityfeatured tree for this year’s event. Festival Committee member Diane Colcord suggested the theme of “Tell Me a Story…” so the museum is now asking community members to donate vintage-style ornaments and photos with a brief sentence or two about a favorite Christmas memory. “We will then create ornaments with the photos on one side and the story on the back. It should be fun and enlightening to read about our community’s most memorable Christmases,” said Colcord. Photographs can be scanned by the Pioneer Museum with the originals being returned to the donors. After the festival, the photographs will remain in the museum’s photography collection. The Festival of Trees is the museum’s only fundraiser and will be held December 6 - 14, with the Gala Event on Friday, Dec. 12, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Funds raised this year will go toward state-of- the-art archival collection preservation materials and equipment so the museum can better care for its artifacts. Those interested in contributing to the Community Tree or in decorating a tree, tabletop tree, wreath, centerpiece, or donating items for Santa’s Pack can call Carla during morning hours at the museum at (503) 842-4553.
4-H Fair Clean-up & Preparation Days have been scheduled for July 23 and 24 this year. 4-H members, leaders and families are encouraged to participate. Areas to be cleaned and prepared for the fair include the 4-H exhibit area and kitchen, the 4-H pavilion and other animal areas.

Fireworks sales benefit EVC, Rinehart Clinic
Good weather and Independence Day on a Friday combined to make annual local fireworks sales greater than ever. The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay and The Rinehart Clinic have a strong history of partnership in serving the community. That history was strengthened further when they joined forces to organize the Manzanita fireworks booth for the Fourth of July. Fireworks sales netted over $6,500 for the two organizations and the proceeds were evenly split. Completely volunteermanaged, crews were led by Patty Rinehart and Linda Kozlowski. Ann Blaker, Interim
CEO of The Rinehart Clinic and Linda both expressed their appreciation for the many local volunteers that worked multiple hour shifts. The Rinehart Clinic will use the proceeds to support primary health care for anyone regardless of economic circumstances. The EVC will use their proceeds to support their disaster preparation activities locally. This activity is the first summer fund raising activity for The Rinehart Clinic, which is preparing for its annual Sand Dollar Auction on August 2. Those interested in attending may purchase tickets by contacting Leila Salmon at (503) 368-6132.

Special thanks go to the Manzanita Public Works Department for site preparation, the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District for safety support, and especially Western Display Fireworks for putting on another safe and exciting show. Our security teams – provided by the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay – kept the grounds secure. The fundraising team did a great job. Lori Dillon distributed and collected from the jars set up around town, and Anna Wilkes did personal, one-on-one fundraising on the 4th. Extra special thanks also to Charles Skellenger for providing critical transportation, and Stewart Martin for photograph Finally, kudos go to the Kiwanis Club of Manza-Whee-Lem and the Boy Scouts for cleaning up around the firing pit the next morning. That was another important job.

Firewise advice for protecting your home
From page 1 “There was probably a total of 45 firefighters at the scene, 29 of those from our department,” said NBFR Chief Perry Sherbaugh, who confirmed that the fire originated at the beach in the logs and spread up the hillside to the houses overlooking the ocean. Winds from the northwest, blowing south to southeast and gusting up to 30 to 35 mph, fanned the flames and were cause for concern. As for the actual ignition source for the fire on the beach, Sherbaugh said that is unknown. “There’s no smoking gun,” he noted. It’s conceivable that it could have been a beach fire that wasn’t extinguished properly and continued to smolder for a few days and was brought back to life by the windy conditions. Sherbaugh likened it to wildfires that happened during an unusually dry January earlier this year. Leftover slash piles from logging operations months earlier reignited during windy conditions. The slash piles, thought to be extinguished, caused the Falcon and Shingle Mill fires that ended up burning 271 acres in all. “It just goes to show how long a fire can smolder and still come back to life,” said Sherbaugh, who was among those to recap recent
n Library From page 1
Following the Neahkahnie wildfire of July 8 that torched four oceanfront homes, the debate continues whether or not to prohibit fires on the beach or, at the minimum, move or eliminate driftwood on the beach near hillsides. The suggestion has been made that the Oregon Department of Forestry in collaboration with State Parks could use federal grant money to do just that. Whatever happens, there are some important steps homeowners can take to protect their property. 1. While cedar shake roofs and wood siding are aesthetically pleasing, they become a real hazard during a wildfire. If building a new home or replacing a shake roof, consider a more fire resistant metal roof or even a composition roof. Keep gutters
Neahkahnie resident Linda Cook is interviewed about the fire by KOIN-TV the day after the July 8 fire that burned a hillside and ignited four houses. Photo by Bob Joseph events and offer advice for fire protection at a special public forum held Tuesday in Manzanita. Shortly after 10 p.m. the last of firefighting units left the scene, though a local firefighter kept vigil overnight to secure the scene and make sure there were no new flare-ups. At a meeting of the Neahkahnie Water District that same evening, Joseph noted that general manager Rich Felley was relieved that the water district was up to the challenge of meeting the needs of firefighters, reportedly supplying water to douse the flames at their height at a rate of 160 gal-
lons per minute. In the days that followed, firefighters received nothing but praise as homeowners in the area were impressed by the response. Still, with the fire season relatively young, everyone’s a little on edge. “The concern is people don’t put out their fires,” said Joseph. “Maybe it’s a situation that fires shouldn’t be allowed on the beach.” “Locals know not to start a fire in the logs. It’s got to be someone that is unaware of the danger,” said Cook, who expressed concern that Nehalem Rd. is the only vehicular exit to Hwy 101. “Depending where a fire
starts and spreads, those north of it would have had no auto exit without going through the fire if it had spread to both sides of Beulah Reed Rd. They’re only recourse would be to run uphill.” In the meantime, a fire ban remains in effect, no open burning is allowed. Fires in burn barrels are allowed up until Aug. 1, but that could change depending on weather conditions. Recreational fires in approved fire pits are allowed. For upto-date information on burning, call Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue, (503) 368-7590, or visit www.nehalembayfirerescue.org .
and enhancing those activities local patrons already enjoy. “We want NCRD to provide those rainy day activities to help fill the gap. It’s good for the greater community that NCRD provides an alternative.” While the discussion regarding a new pool will be rekindled after the first of the year, there’s plenty going on in the meantime with continuing improvements being made to the auditorium, new roofing and the installation of electrical service to the facility underground instead of overhead. In addition to conducting a market survey, which will be instrumental in developing a more comprehensive
user-fees plan, the district is embarking on plans for customer service training for NCRD staff and continuing to build on community partnerships and collaborative efforts. “Those,” said Cangelosi, “are kind of the big things we’re working on at the moment.” Aside from the natural beauty of the area, two other things stood out for rec center’s youthful GM – the NCRD staff and the community in general. “The staff really stood out, especially their longevity. They held in there during the rough times and it helped save the place. It sent the message to me that this was a special place.
“There’s also a real sense of community here and you see that with the number of volunteer-driven organizations…that sent another big message to me.” For NCRD patrons who were used to seeing Peter Nunn’s dog, Jethro, accompany him to work, get ready to meet Holden, Cangelosi’s black lab. “I got him about nine years ago when I was living in Baltimore and he’s been with me ever since. We made the journey together back to the Northwest when I got the job in Tacoma. He’s usually here most days and it was one of the great things about getting this job.”

Take a walk on the wild side and make some sauerkraut
I’ve been receiving these jolly green giant cabbages in my CSA boxes lately. (CSA stands for “community supported agriculture,” which is a subscription service to receive a glorious box of organic veggies weekly.) These cabbages are awe-inspiring and a bit daunting on what to do with them, but I have discovered that when life gives The you cabbage you make sauerkraut. Golightly Sauerkraut is Gourmet one of the most well known foods Dana Zia that are naturally fermented to get the distinctive tangy flavor this food is celebrated for. Genghis Khan is credited with introducing it far and wide, but it was an art form born in China. (He ripped it
off from them, so to speak.) The Germanic tribes of Eastern Europe went wild over it and made it one of their national foods. It’s probably why they grew so healthy and strapping as sauerkraut is a wonder food. Sauerkraut, that is made the old school way by lacto-acid fermentation, is filled with communities of beneficial micro-organism that are largely devoid in our modern food that is so fixated on everything being sterile. Beneficial microorganisms work symbolically with us in so many ways that is hard to explain in a short article, but they are critically important for our immune and digestive system. They protect us and nourish us, and we do the same to them. Most sauerkraut is made by fermenting with a microbial called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that is found on all plants and in the soil. You simply cut the cabbage up, give it a nice salt rub, then let the
LABs do their magic at fermenting the cabbage and preserving it all at the same time. The LABs do the same thing to cabbage that they do with us, protect it. Then we eat it and we get protected. Genius. Amazingly enough, fermenting vegetables is super safe and a powerful way to take control of your health. Fred Breidt, of the US Dept. of Agricultural, once said, “Risky is not the word that I would use to describe vegetable fermentation. It is one of the oldest and safest technologies that we have. As far as I know, there has never been a documented case of food-borne illness from fermented vegetables.” So with that in mind, give this wild ancient art a try. I explained a lot of it in the recipe but if you have more questions there are lots of resources online and the book called “The Art of Fermentation,” by Sandor Katz, tells all. Feel free to add some other flavors to the mix like beets and ginger or carrots and cumin. Turn fear into curiosity and take a walk on the wild side!
Homemade fermented classic sauerkraut
Equipment that you need – 2 large mouth quart jars, washed in the dishwasher A large mixing bowl 2 small skinny jelly jars full of clean rocks Clean cheesecloth or muslin A couple rubber bands A muddler or something to tamp down the cabbage First off peel the droopy outer leaves off your cabbage then cut it into fourths, de-core it, then finely slice each wedge crossways to make thin ribbons. Toss the cabbage ribbons into a large mixing bowl, separating the ribbons as you do. Sprinkle the salt over the mix, and then begin to rub the salt into the cabbage by massaging it all. After somewhere between 5-10 minutes of massaging, when your cabbage is reduced to half the size you’re done. Massage in the caraway seeds for a few more minutes and it is ready to go.
Next, get out two canning quart sized jars and stuff them with the cabbage mix. Tamp the cabbage down as you go to tightly pack it in the jars. You can pack it down with a large wooden spoon. When you have the mixture evenly divided between the two jars and squished down tight, pour what fluid is left in the bottom of the bowl over the cabbage. Take an outer leaf you pulled off from the cabbage and tuck it over the to-be sauerkraut to keep the oxygen from getting to it. Tamp it down again. Now, place your rockfilled (I know, it’s high tech here) jelly jars on top of the cabbage to keep it submerged. Cover with the clean cloth, put a rubber band around each of the jars and place in a quiet room, out of direct sunlight, at the temperature of 65-75 degrees consistently, to do its magic. If the temperature rises above 75 degrees, move it to a cooler location as hot fermentation can make the whole thing go off. It will taste and smell bad. Cold temperatures just
slow down the process but no harm done. Press the cabbage down every few hours the first day to get the juices flowing. The liquid will begin to seep out of the cabbage and cover it. This is your brine. Allow the cabbage to ferment for 3-10 days, pressing it down daily under the brine. (I found that 7 days was just about right.) While it is fermenting you will see lots of bubbles and activity, which shows it is alive and well. As long as the cabbage stays under the surface of the brine, fermentation will occur perfectly. If any mold or scummy stuff grows on the surface, remove it immediately and then re-submerge your cabbage. The sauerkraut under the brine is fine. Begin tasting it at day 3-4 and then every day until it reaches the perfect tangyness for you. When it gets at your preferred flavor, remove the cloth, the jelly jars and the top cabbage leaf and fluff it up into the liquid. Store in the fridge with a lid on it and it will last months, as long as it still smells and tastes good, it’s good.

Part-time resident, artist and author Sher Davidson shares her love of south-of-the border cultures in new novel provided background and details,” she explained. Under the Salvadoran Sun is a fictional story of a mature woman’s search for love in post civil war El Salvador. The novel weaves history and geography together with humor and insight from Davidson’s experiences in real life. Davidson and her husband, Gary, reside parttime in the Nehalem River Valley and part-time at their home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. “For 20 years or more, I had been attending a famous art institute in San Miguel, and we always talked about
the possibility of a house there, if one ever met our requirements,” Davidson said. “Hummingbird House was just what they were looking for, and we’ve always loved the beach here at Manzanita and the Nehalem River.” When a friend offered her cottage at Nehalem Shores, it was the perfect match for the Davidsons. Davidson is also a vendor at the Painted Poppy that features her artwork for sale. Her book is available at local bookstore Cloud & Leaf in Manzanita. Sher Davidson will be doing a reading at Cloud & Leaf on Friday, July 25, at 7 p.m.

“I’m a late bloomer,” said Sher Davidson about her newly published first novel, Under the Salvadoran Sun. The novel has been in my head for over six years. All good things take time.” It has been over 40 years between books for this author-artist. Her first book, published in 1973, was a travelogue that recorded her adventures with her husband and young daughters “Europe with Two Kids and a Van.” Fast forward 40 years, during which Davidson enjoyed a successful career in the arts, exhibiting her paintings and teaching art in Portland, Oregon, which also included 18 years of travel and volunteering for a nonprofit organization in El Salvador called EcoViva. The organization supports environmental sustainability, social justice and peace for communities in Central America. “There’s always been a novel in my head and my work in El Salvador teaching art to children, and learning the history of the region
