Manzanita’s quintessential annual Fourth of July parade was again a crowd pleaser and the parade, according to Manzanita City Manager Jerry Taylor, who also chairs the Parade Committee, was the largest in years, perhaps ever. “We had 129 entries this year; 15 more than last year,” Taylor told the Citizen. “All in all, everything went smoothly.” Prior to the parade, Harold Schild, of Tillamook, flew his airplane over Laneda Ave. in a flyover reminiscent of those in the past. Though Schild’s private plane maybe wasn’t as exciting or noisy a fighter jet or military transport, the thought was there and the crowd that lined up to view the parade was appreciative. “He (Schild) said, ‘I made as much noise as I could,’” Taylor noted. The weather was perfect for the traditional Independence Day celebration, capped off with a fireworks display on the beach later in the evening. Typically advertised as an approximate 20-minute show, this year’s fireworks display, conducted by licensed pyrotechnicians from Western Display Fireworks in Canby, last 38 minutes. Though there were reports of people with illegal fireworks, some of which were clearly visible on the beach, Taylor noted that the number of reports were about the same as previous years. From his perspective, Manzanita Public Safety Department Chief Eric Harth told his boss, “It was a very calm Fourth of July when you think of all the people that were here.” If you enjoyed the fireworks show and would like to help out financially for this year’s show and future shows, the Manzanita Fireworks Committee will gladly accept your donation, which can be mailed to the Manzanita Fireworks Committee at P.O. Box 802, Manzanita, OR 97130. The committee is a private, non-profit effort. No city funds are spent on the display.

In quest of a community library
With the library built and operational by the summer of 1987, focus turns to financial stability Part 3 of a 3 part series
By Patty Went For the Citizen
The Manzanita Branch of the Tillamook County Library system was dedicated on July 18, 1987. The books, personnel, and library policies are the responsibilities of the Tillamook County Library. The North Tillamook Library Board retains custody and ownership of the building. The North Tillamook Library Friends bear the financial responsibility for building maintenance. Friends also can furnish volunteers from time to time. The contract was negotiated and signed in 1987 and resigned in 1994. With the building built and in operation, the attention of the North Tillamook Library Board turned to guaranteeing the financial stability for the maintenance of the building. A campaign was started to raise money with a target of $50,000. That amount of money earning about 7 percent interest would cover the yearly expenses. Again, Pauline Reed gave a nest egg and donations from all over the country came in from property owners and supporters. At that point the decision was made to concentrate on the book sale and copier

Upwards of 130 people gathered at White Clover Grange near Mohler to extend best wishes to the retiring Jan Hamilton, CARTM’s executive director the past six years. Prior to taking over the top post in the summer of 2008, Hamilton was assistant director to Rich Felley for two years at CARTM Recycling. “My plan is to spend a lot of time walking on the beach, playing music and just relaxing the first six months to a year,” said Hamilton of her retirement plans. “From there, I’ll decide what I’m going to do. One thing I want
to do is spend more time connecting with people and this beautiful area. Being retired will give me a better opportunity to do that…this is a fabulous community.” Said CARTM board chair Karen Reddick-Yurka at the retirement get-together for Hamilton, “Jan was the right person for the job at the right time,” and she will greatly missed. As a going away present, Hamilton was presented with a handmade community quilt, each square made by a different person with its own particular story. In the meantime, the search for Hamilton’s replacement ended with the selection of Reddick-Yurka as director at a meeting of the board of directors on July 1. No longer a member of the board, as a result of her new assignment, Reddick-Yurka was replaced by board member Linda Kozlowski as chair.

monies as revenue sources. The investment accounts are still active, with the idea that this account will be kept for future expansion needs and capital improvements. The library presently is paying its operating expenses through the book sales, copier receipts, donations and magazine sales. There is concern that the income from the annual book sale will diminish as electronic devices are used, but thus far, the sale is continuing to be very popular. Friends are aware that new sources of revenue will need to be tapped in the future. In 2006, the recently formed Hoffman Center made overtures to the North Tillamook Library Board to combine the two organizations into a single community cultural center or to use the library property to support the center’s activities. Many were concerned that this could result in a de-emphasis of the mission of the library and that the loss of property and investments could limit its possible expansion to meet future needs. After several meetings and a good amount of newsprint coverage, the library board decided that what the Hoffman Center was proposing was not com-

Downtown Nehalem sees burst of new business activity By Laura Swanson For the Citizen
Travel down the main street of any small town and you’ll often see closed up, boarded up, empty storefronts and such has been the case in downtown Nehalem. But recently, Nehalem has been experiencing a minirevitalization and transition. Last year heralded the opening of the delightful BeeHive, featuring tea and local art, and then the opening of Nourish Natural
Family Medicine. Now, the shuttered auction house has returned to its roots and is blooming again as the Painted Poppy. For decades the building at the corner of Hwy. 101 and 7th Street was the Nehalem Antique Mall. Building owners Brian Ruef and Aprilmarie Ransom Eckstrom have renovated and brightened up the building to feature antiques, vintage, upcycled/recycled items (think CARTM trash art), clothing resale and other artisan items. They offer space to vendors, 6 feet by 10 feet or 10 feet by 15 feet at $1.25 per square foot. “We’ve rented out over 50 percent of the spaces,” said Ruef. “There are still spaces available.”
Currently the Painted Poppy has 14 spaces rented, that includes antiques and vintage items, artwork and jewelry by Emily Knight, the building mural artist, as well as handmade fabric items, repurposed pieces, artwork by Sher Davidson, and the clothes corner. The brainchild of April’s sister, Jennifer Ransom and daughter Libby Eckstrom, the clothes section is full of “gently used,” many brandnew, never worn name brand designer clothing and shoes for everyone in the family. “We wanted to provide the local community access to good qualify clothing at an affordable price,” said Ransom. “We are building our inventory and would love to have input from the

community about what kinds of clothing they’d like be able to purchase right here in town.” Check out the clothes corner, and jot down your clothing and shoe requests in the guest book. As you wander the wares of the Painted Poppy, it’s difficult to ignore the mouthwatering aromas wafting from Captain Len’s BBQ. The trailer-sized smoker/barbecue that now sits in front of the Painted Poppy gives a strong clue to the nature of the menu at Captain Len’s. Pulled pork sandwiches and baby back pork ribs are the main stars at Captain Len’s, with chicken being added to the menu soon. Len is a retired lawyer with a passion for sailing, spending years on a sailboat in the Portland area and cruising up and down the West Coast. Selling the boat and moving to landlocked Utah, he replaced his sailing with a passion for barbecue. Developing his own sauces and rubs, he was encouraged to enter barbecue contests while he in Utah, winning best ribs in 2010 and best pulled pork in 2012. Len and his wife, seeking a more temperate climate, discovered Manzanita, and as we often here “fell in love” with the community, but his passion for barbecue could not be denied and the opportunity at the Painted Poppy was perfect. “You really connect with people over food, especially good barbecue,” said Captain Len. “It makes people smile. My grandpa had a saying, ‘I’ve never met a stranger,’

Manzanita Library Rededication Celebration set July 18
On July 18, 1987, the community 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, twenty five 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.
Staged reading of ‘Riva Beside Me’
at the State 4-H Horse show, which will be held from August 15-18 in Salem.
The Hoffman Center is sponsoring a staged reading from the novel, “Riva Beside Me: New York City 1963-1966,” 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. Further information is available at hoffmanblog.org or email hoffmancenter@nehalemtel.net.

Red Cross delivers in more ways than one
North County Recreation District shelter receives emergency supplies By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Retirement beckons for Citizen editor
There have been several instances lately, in particular at the recent retirement gathering for CARTM executive director Jan Hamilton, that I’ve been asked when I was going to retire. My somewhat evasive stock answer was, and has been of late, something to the effect “Oh, one of these days… I’m getting closer.” The fact of the matter is I’m getting really close. The answer to that question is I plan to “retire” in a little over two weeks from now. Friday, July 25 is my final day as editor/general manager of the North Coast Citizen, the small town newspaper I have been associated with the past decade. During that time, I’ve worn many hats – owner, publisher, editor, freelance contributor, reporter, and general manager. Privy to the fact that my wife and I owned the paper and that I have stayed on through two subsequent ownerships, I was asked by one of my longtime freelance contributors and friend, Dana Zia (The Golightly Gourmet), which of the owners was my favorite. I didn’t think twice. “I really liked it when Jan and Dave Fisher owned the paper,” I replied. Those were good times, both for the paper and the local economy. Real estate was red hot and rolling, new home construction helped fuel jobs, and there wasn’t a business in town that didn’t benefit, including the North Coast Citizen. Three years later, in the summer of 2007, and with the economy hitting on all cylinders, opportunity came knocking and we sold the paper, not that we were looking to sell, but the timing seemed right. “Sell high,” they say, and we did. It was the smartest thing we ever did, though a tinge of sadness came over us, knowing the “chit-chatty” small town independent paper would probably never be quite the same. A little over a year later? Well, we all know what happened; lending practices led to the popping of the real estate bubble and the economy tanked. Like most businesses the Citizen took a hit and it wouldn’t have mattered who owned it. At the time, we were living in the Willamette Valley, having purchased a home to be closer to our children and grandchildren. However, we didn’t sell our house on the coast, and, after a five month hiatus, we moved back, secure in the knowledge that this was home and where we wanted to be. (Perhaps, returning to the coast ranks as the smartest thing we’ve ever done.) In any event, it has been a hoot, indeed a privilege to be associated with the Citizen in one way shape or form all of these years. I am grateful to both subsequent owners of the paper – East Oregonian Media Group and Country Media – for giving me the opportunity to continue as editor of the paper in recent years. Ten years later, not only am I a better editor, I’m a better person in large part because of you, the citizens of Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler. This, indeed, is a unique area as we all know and it’s the giving nature of the people who live here that make it that way. I’ve been schooled and, suffice to say, we won’t be leaving the three villages again any time soon. Have I written my last story? Probably not. My wife says I have a book in me. (I’m thinking about entitling it “Off the Record,” everything people told me, but things that they didn’t necessarily want to see in print. Naturally, I’ll change the names to protect the innocent. That’s just the kind of guy I am.) So, here I am, tens of thousands of words later since I first became editor of the North Coast Citizen, looking to close out what I guess could be considered my swan song, at least for the time being. Two words immediately come to mind. Thank you.

Members of the Emergency Volunteer Corps (EVC) of Nehalem Bay were on hand at the North County Recreation District facility in Nehalem on Friday, June 27 to receive and inventory shelter supplies from the American Red Cross. In a partnership with the Red Cross that has proved beneficial to both parties, the EVC continues its effort to make sure each Nehalem Bay area community – Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler – has a well stocked shelter, ready-to-go shelter in the event of an emergency, said EVC President Linda Kozlowski. “We really value our relationship with the Red Cross,” said Kozlowski, who was on hand to greet Red Cross volunteer coordinator Willie Bence assigned to the area. Bence’s trip was postponed as he found himself providing mental health support to those in need following the shootings at Reynold’s High School
in Troutdale the last day of school. The Red Cross, said Bence, even provided snacks to volunteers on duty during the aftermath of the incident. In its “working relationship” with the Red Cross, Kozlowski noted that the Red Cross structures and helps organize the local shelters, while the EVC is in charge of providing longterm food, sanitation and hygiene supplies. “We’re trying to get the same supplies at each area shelter,” said EVC member Mary Moran, “and we’re getting closer.” Two things the Red Cross provides for the EVC during an event, said Kozlowski, is the cost of supplies that are used and additional volunteers if the need should arise. “During this winter’s snow event when motorists were stranded along 101, we were able to handle it,” said Kozlowski of EVC members. “Longer term, the Red Cross would have made the call for additional volunteers to help free up our volunteers.” While Kozlowski and Moran agree that much progress has been made in securing emergency supplies and sanitation needs, more needs to be done in the area of training volunteers. It has been a step-by-
step process following the December 2007 storm that knocked out power to parts of north Tillamook County for over a week and left the region isolated for a short period of time. It was fol-
lowing that event that the EVC came into being. Now, it is considered a model for other communities along the West Coast developing emergency preparedness plans.

A memorable summertime trip
I have some pleasant memories of an episode that happened when I was very young. I was probably in the first or second grade when my dad came home from work with a fancy convertible car. He was in the car business and often drove one of their used vehicles to show prospective buyers. It had to be summertime because he had the top down and was so tickled that he announced we were going on a trip to eastern Washington. They were building a giant dam on the Columbia River and we should go see what was happening, he said. It was quite an adventure roaring down the highway with the wind blowing everyone’s hair in every direction. I seem to remember that mom wasn’t all that fond of what we were doing. Perhaps it was poor planning, but we had to look for a place to stay for the night. We ended up in a very old hotel room that had no air conditioning and just two beds for the five of us. Mom and dad were in one bed and the three boys were crammed into a twin-sized one with some jumping around that you can probably imagine. To add to the dilemma, there was an announcement that a madman was on the loose in the area and people should lock their doors and windows. Probably, one of the longest nights I can remember. We did see the huge

There have been several proposals to build facilities to utilize wave power in the ocean, but I have not seen where it was going to be a boon for the people living near the ocean or anywhere else. I am thinking it is just another attempt to find a revenue source that will only profit the investors and, of course, the government will probably guarantee funds to cover those times when the wind and waves are not adequate or are too prominent in the supply chain that is keeping all the other sources in business. It’s a whole other story when you get into the nuclear power business and most people are scared of the consequences when there is an accident. I have to remind them that the plants that are operating all over the world use the same kind of mechanism that have been used in submarines and other ships for the past fifty plus years. There are always many other dangers that we live with. The almighty buck seems to be the main reason for most of what is happening, it seems. I wonder if that old hotel has air conditioning these days and if they ever caught the madman? I am also pretty sure that was my mother’s last ride in a convertible!

By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Retired architect Tom Bender, who designed the Manzanita Branch of the Tillamook County Library, remembers a “lot of hilarious things” about the project, but, most significantly, that it was a true community effort. Bender, who has among other buildings has Columbia Bank and St. Catherine Episcopal Church to his credit, had already been an active member of the Manzanita area for about a decade when he signed on to design the new library. Money was tight and as Bender puts its, “I actually designed two-and-a-half libraries for the cost of half a one.” Though he had cut his teeth in designing other public buildings, this was Bender’s first library. His initial design was for a library at the site of what is now Manzanita’s main city park, which borders a wetlands area. Bender had worked out the details and challenges of erecting a building on the environmentally sensitive site and remembers making a presentation to the Manzanita Planning Commission unaware that the library committee had its eyes on another parcel of donated land on Laneda Ave. “I was out of the loop as far as the Laneda Ave. property was concerned,” said Bender, who went back to the drawing board in developing a plan for the new site. At the time, the committee was looking at a 1,600-square-foot structure. Budget concerns had a lot to do with the decision. However, in soliciting state funds to help with the
From page 2 renovations began, and it is a work in process. The nearly 100 year old building has a colorful past, starting out as a dockside building in the 1920s in Uppertown Nehalem, near Nehalem Shores RV Park on North Fork Road, then being moved to downtown Nehalem in the 1950s. The building has housed a variety of business over the years. “We’ve been delighted by all the visitors that have come in with their memories and stories,” said Hayes. “We selected the name to emphasize the buildings river view and access, and as a reminder as it’s long history as the Nehalem Bay Trading Co.” This is not your average antiques selection, the Trading Co. features many1800s Old English and European pieces, including many solid piece rare, unique wood tables. Barn doors and old horse tack, vintage salt and pepper shakers round out the current offerings. “There will be new vendors and pieces coming in daily,” said Hayes. “We’ll always be changing and adding new items.” Hayes and Louie are avid outdoors people, and are excited to begin exploring their new home. “We are loving this welcoming community,” said Hayes. “There’s just not enough time for everything we want to do.” The renovations will continue on the retail space,
cost of construction, the requirement was that the library be at least 2,000 square feet. It was back to the drawing board for the green architect, who took it all in stride. “The community and committee were really easy to work with,” he noted. To help secure a state library grant that was based on a point system, Bender ended up doubling his fee. It was another peculiar circumstance in which his fee was too low based on the point system. “A light bulb went off in my head and I said ‘I’ll double my fee to qualify for the grant and then donate half of it to the library.’” When it came time to bid the job, Bender, along with committee Tom Bender at at his Neahkahnie home.

From page 1 patible with the mission of the library. In the past few years, Tillamook County Library has provided the library with WIFI service. This has attracted a number of new people to the library and the parking lot adjacent. These customers become acquainted with the many services that the Library has to offer when they come to use the WIFI. For the past 26 years the Library has had 14 different Boards which managed the building. Some of the Board members have served for many years and some for just a few months but it is probable that there have been over 100 people involved in Board service alone. Very few changes in operation have been made, but the efforts of the volunteers on book sales and magazine sales have made it possible to keep the library in good condition and add the necessary improvements as they are needed. Some Boards have been very active and some not so much, but the
Learn to can fish, meat, poultry and vegetables
Register now for the class, “Home Canning Fish, Meat, Poultry and Vegetables,” sponsored by the OSU Extension Service in Tillamook on Wednesday, July 23, from 6 to 10 p.m. Cost is $12 for supplies and handouts if pre-registered by the day before the class or $15 for registrations the day of the class. Classes with low pre-registrations may be cancelled. Contact the OSU Extension Service office in Tillamook, (503)842-3433 to register for a class or to receive the latest home canning publications. This class will highlight the current USDA recommendations to prevent botulism. Participants will learn how to use their pressure canner properly. They will also try their hand at canning in a pressure canner during the class and take home a jar of home-canned tuna or meat. Those who want to can meat, fish, poultry or vegetables, but who don’t own a pressure canner, may borrow a pressure canner from the OSU Extension Service office. Pressure canner dial gauges will be tested after the class. The public can also have their canner dial gauge tested at the OSU Extension Service office. Bring the lid with dial gauge attached for testing.
number of people involved has steadily grown. Some of the significant projects in the last few years were the replacement of the roof and several windows in 2007, the shoring up of the foundation in 2009, new landscaping in 2009, treatment of outside lumber in 2011, and the development of a 20-year facilities management plan in 2013. As the building ages maintenance will become even more critical. There were 96 volunteers serving at the 2012 Book Sale which brought in revenue of $7000, as compared with the $1500 target that Jim Shields envisioned in 1997. “The story behind the library building is unique and a great example of the power of the community. Membership in the Friends organization is open to all – residents, part-time residents and visitors alike.” as Jim Chandler writes in his communications assessment. Sara Charlton reports that the Manzanita Branch circulates the highest number of items in the Tillamook County System. The sense of community is still evident, as Friends ask their friends to become Friends and the organization grows and grows.

I keep one in the fridge vors that are thirst quenching so it is cold and ready to go.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with adding these bubbles to drinks. Could be good, could be bad, but fun nonetheless. Roses are a good option too; just grab and go with grilled fish and chicken. My personal favorite is Argyle Rose, a little expensive but local and refreshing. If you haven’t experimented with the sparkling reds, you must give them a try. My personal favorites are the Lambruscos, which have highly evolved from the candy sweet ones oversold in the 1970s-80s, to a civilized dry sparkling red that makes any day a special occasion. My personal favorite: Vecchia Modena Lambrusco, a great Italian sparkler. (Great Northern Garlic Company has it already chilled.) (Side note – Have your tried the Willamette Valley Vineyards Semi-Sparkling Muscat yet? I hadn’t even heard of it until recently and oh, momma! That is an amazing summer wine to be sipped as an after dinner surprise dessert. I don’t care for dessert wines, but this one is worth writing about! Complex notes of rose, jasmine,
peach and tropical fruits with the sparkle in it, making it clean and crisp, opposed to cloying like most dessert wines. A must try! Enough of wines, back to cocktails…) The drinks I am sharing with you are my current favorites and all call for simple syrup. It’s called simple syrup because it is simple. Add one cup water and one cup of white sugar to a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat stirring the whole time until the sugar is dissolved. Taa daa! Done. I like to add things to it like ginger slices, mint or whatever and let it set in the fridge to let the flavors meld. It keeps in the fridge forever. (Well, maybe not forever, particularly if you use organic sugar.) Remember that summer drinks have no rulebook behind them. Be playful and creative; don’t sweat mistakes as they are often the mother of invention. Most importantly, have a wonderful summer filled with all things you love about this season. Drink it in!

Pour the simple syrup in a tall drink glass, (called a Collins glass), add the rosemary springs, grapefruit juice and slices and then muddle it.

Oregon honeybee losses continue at economically unsustainable rate, OSU survey finds By Daniel Robison
Oregon State University
More than one in five commercial honeybee hives in Oregon did not survive last winter, continuing a financially challenging trend for professional beekeepers. Between Oct. 1 and March 31, Oregon beekeepers reported a 21.1 percent loss in colonies of the crucial crop pollinators, according to a survey by the Bee Informed Partnership, a countrywide collaboration among research labs focusing on honeybee declines. The latest figures are a slight improvement over the state’s average annual loss of 22 percent over the past six years. Nationally, commercial beekeepers reported a 23.2 percent decline last winter. An average of about 30 percent of colonies nationwide has died each winter over the past decade, the partnership reported. “These are challenging times for beekeeping and we have reason to be alarmed,” said Ramesh Sagili, an entomologist with Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences who has been conducting honeybee colony loss surveys for the past five years. “While 10-15 percent loss of colonies is considered acceptable, current rates of decline could drive professional beekeepers out of business.” To replace lost colonies, beekeepers must split healthy hives of 50,000 bees or more – a process that takes months and adds substantial costs for labor, new queens and equipment. However, as these lost colonies are replaced, there is not a drop in the total number of hives each year, according to Sagili. Oregon is home to 62,000 managed honeybee colonies,

(Can do this part ahead of time.) In a cocktail shaker, add the all the ingredients, then add a cup or so of ice, and shake till you can’t anymore. Strain into the salt rimmed glass, add more ice and a lime wedge on the rim and serve. This can be done in the blender for an adult slushy too. Ole!

Oregon is home to 62,000 managed honeybee colonies. More than one in five commercial honeybee hives in Oregon did not survive last winter. Courtesy photo with the United States total at 2.6 million, according to the Bee Informed Partnership. The U.S. Department of Agriculture credits honeybees with pollinating more than $15 billion worth of crops in the U.S., including pears, blueberries, cherries, apples, and vegetable seeds such as broccoli, mustard, carrots and onions. Many nut trees also rely on bees for pollination, including nearly 900,000 acres of almond trees in California, according to the USDA. Bee colonies are in significant decline for a variety of reasons, according to Sagili. He said these include Varroa mites, which transmit viral diseases to bees; poor nutrition from a restricted diet resulting from largescale monocropping; and exposure to pesticides when bees are foraging for nectar and pollen. “We wish there was an easy answer,” said Sagili, who is also a honeybee expert with the OSU Exten-
sion Service. “Each of these factors add stress to the bees and compromise their immune systems.” OSU is home to the Honey Bee Lab, which tests beekeepers’ honeybees for mites, diseases and protein levels for a small fee. The lab is estimated to save Oregon’s beekeepers about $1.4 million a year in reduced costs for medications, according to Sagili. More information on the lab is at http://honeybeelab.oregonstate.edu. The Apiary Inspectors of America and the U.S. Department of Agriculture also assisted with the survey. OSU’s role was funded by the Oregon State Beekeepers Association. Dewey Caron, an OSU professor emeritus, helped conduct the survey and process data. More information on the nationwide survey of 2013-14 honeybee colony losses is at http://beeinformed.org/2014/05/colonyloss-2013-2014.

Annual NKN pancake breakfast a holiday tradition
The July 4th event helps raise funds for Neah-KahNie High athletics programs By Laura Swanson For the Citizen
“Keep Calm and Eat Pancakes” declared the 2014 Neah-Kah-Nie Athletics Pancake event t-shirts. And that’s exactly what the over 1,200 people that were fed by over 50 volunteers at this year’s event did. A veteran crew of grillers, including Dave Stephens, sporting his NKN basketball jersey with 19 years behind the grill, and Chris Bennett, with 20-some years, and training the next generation,
his son Travis, also manned a grill, beside other skilled pancake flippers, including Jay Woika, Nick Weichal, Norm Maves and Brian Hixson. Cooking up the ham that accompanies the full breakfast were Kim and Sandy Douma. “We’ve been helping out since our son Corey was an incoming NKN freshman in 1993,” said Sandy. “This is where we spend our July 4th mornings, making pancakes for the community,” added Neah-Kah-Nie alum and now NKN teacher and coach, Corey Douma. Just like a lot of other community members and visitors, the 4th of July starts
with the pancake feed, then the parade and culminates with the fireworks. The pancake feed started in the 1980s as a fundraiser for the Manzanita Library and when that group decided not to do it, organization member and, at the time, NKN secretary Connie Vanderwaal, undertook the event to benefit the NeahKah-Nie athletic programs. And so the tradition began, with two electric skillets and a Coleman cookstove. “People had to wait a long time for their pancakes in those days,” said Corey Douma. “Now we’ve got six industrial sized griddles for pancakes and a seventh griddle for the ham, and for
three hours we pump out the pancakes.” Serving over 1,200 people this year would compute to probably over 3,000 pancakes, accompanied by gallons of maple syrup, coffee and orange juice. A festival atmosphere is created at the Manzanita Fire Hall with a Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue fire truck on display with firefighters giving special demonstrations, and face painting. In what was probably one of the busiest years for the annual event, at one point, the line stretched from the Fire Hall on 5th St. to Laneda Ave. Everyone “kept calm” and all were seated and enjoyed their pancakes.
