illamook Bay Seafoods moved a step closer to opening for business on the commercial wharf in the Port of Garibaldi Wednesday.

The fledgling company received a grant from Rural Development Initiatives, a Eugene-based non-profit at a meeting in Garibaldi City Hall.

That infusion of capital will allow the company, co-owned by brothers Jeremy and Jesse Coon, to get a new fish hoist.

That, in turn, will be the start of a plan to building a fish processing plant which could help spawn a commercial renaissance in the Port of Garibaldi.

Jesse Coon said that as he was growing up in the commercial fishing, he could see a need in the port.

“What we don’t have,” he explained.

“We don’t even have an ice plant here in Garibaldi. I saw an opening.

“I am a bait dealer. We are leasing more space from the Port of Garibaldi so that we can expand into seafood processing and get an ice plant of our own,” he explained.

“The fishermen will benefit. Growing up as fishermen, we know what is needed here.

“That is why me and my brother are doing what we are doing... trying to get a

Following a proposal from The Satanic Temple – Portland, requesting to begin an after school club at Nehalem Elementary School, Superintendent Paul Erlebach says, “We can’t discriminate against groups who want to use our facilities.” The Supreme Court decided in a 2001 case stating all religious groups that promote moral and character development for students all have the same access to public school facilities. “My response is this: We’re just following Supreme Court ruling.”

‘After School Satan’ program proposed for Nehalem Elementary

S

omething devilish may be coming to Nehalem Elementary School this academic

year.

“The Satanic Temple - Portland has proposed to establish an after-school club,” read a letter from Paul Erlebach, Neah-Kah-Nie School District superintendent.

He added in an interview, “The district has to be neutral with anything dealing with religious issues with schools.”

For the first time, The Historic Nehalem American Legion Cemetery has an entrance sign.

School district approves robust budget thanks to timber sales

Officials hope grant will help spawn new business in Garibaldi

he Neah-Kah-Nie School District’s (NKN) unique budget model is primarily dependent on property taxes and the area’s timber industry and this year things are looking good – knock on wood.

District homeowners will not see a major property tax impact, there are no huge cuts, teachers will see a competitive pay hike and services and staff are being added, according to district officials.

“Basically there are no reductions and we’ve had additions,” NKN Superintendent Paul Erlebach said. “Previously we’ve had to make cuts, cuts, cuts.”

The district school board recently approved the $28.1 million for the 2016-17 academic year, up from $19.7 million last year. There’s no deficit and

carry-over revenue is at an alltime high of $9.2 million (which will pay salaries through November), versus $6.3 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year, according to budget reports.

Thanks to fiscal prudence, a considerable spike in the timber industry and an increase in area home construction, Erlebach said some of those additions include: • Two percent teacher salary increase in this year, and 1 percent for the next two years • Special education/student services director • Lifeskills teacher 6-12

• Classroom teacher and an instructional assistant at Nehalem Elementary School (NES) • Special education instructional assistant at Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School (NKNMS) • Parttime state testing coordinator at Neah-KahNie High School • Parttime media assistant at NKNMS • Contracted behavioral specialist pre-K-12 • Track and field improvements equaling $1.7 million • Summer custodian (reinstated) NKN Business Manager Mark Sybouts said the district is one of

a select few in Oregon that does not receive funding from State Basic School Support, because it receives more money from property taxes and timber than it would from state subsidies.

About 70 percent of its support comes from property taxes and 30 percent from Tillamook State Forest timber revenue.

The overall revenue forecast from property taxes and timber revenue is expected to increase from approximately $10.6 million to $11.7 million.

The district’s bond levy rate has not gone over 60 cents per $1,000 of assessed home value during the past ten years, added Sybouts.

“The school district has a history of being fiscally responsible,” he said.

Nevertheless, Sybouts cautioned that timber revenue is uncertain.

n School Continued from Page A1 little while,” Rezz said.

He added, “We are Satanists. We are non-theistic, so we don’t believe in an actual Satan or actual God, but we have core beliefs and values.” He noted, the usage of ‘Satan’ is allegory for free-thinking and acts as their metaphor to challenge other programs, namely, the Good News Club.

Rezz said Nehalem Elementary is the first school TST has reached out to for an After School Satan Club because students have access to a Good News Club.

An interdenominational Christian program for students ages five to 12, the Good News Club often utilizes public elementary schools for Bible study and other activities, after a 2001 Supreme Court ruling that allows groups such as the Good News Club to be entitled the same access to public school facilities as other groups such as the Boy Scouts.

“Obviously, that’s what it is coming from,” Erlebach said.

He added the Good News

Club meets from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., Thursdays at NCRD and allows students with parental permission to be released during the school day to participate in the club.

“The Neah-Kah-Nie School District recognizes that questions of religious belief and discussion of religious organizations can create strong feelings and it is important to note that our district does not promote any

particular religion,” Erlebach’s letter reads.

In fact, the school district policy explicitly states just that.

“We can’t discriminate against groups who want to use our facilities,” Erlebach said. “My response is this: We’re just following Supreme Court ruling.”

If the After School Satan Club joins Nehalem Elementary School, the TST has requested leaders of the club to have a table or booth

at “Back to School Night” events.

Rezz said, “Our ultimate goal is to have ‘After School Satan’ offered at every school district where ‘The Good News Club’ is offered.”

He added TST has a number of initiatives to shed light on church and state separation issues.

The curriculum for the program has been a work-inprogress for some time and Rezz said his is very excited about it, with an emphasis on science and rational thinking.

“We’re really encouraging people to look into the program,” he said.

“To be a pluralistic, democratic society, it is important for all opinions and views to be heard.”

Rezz’s letter also reads, “After School Satan Clubs are led by caring Satanists.”

As of this writing, Superintendent Paul Erlebach had not yet contacted TST about their request. For more information, contact Kristi Woika, Nehalem Elementary School principal at 503-3553640, kristiw@nknsd.org, or Erlebach at 503-355-3501, paule@nknsd.org.

n Cemetery Continued from Page A1 community-area signs,” Vines Magee said, adding many of the signs can be seen in north Tillamook County.

The sign, most recent in a planned series of refurbishments, has been in the works for almost a year, according to Vines Magee. Fundraising began in October and the City of Nehalem, Nehalem Bay Garden Club and the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition awarded grants.

The beautification committee contracted with Walsh in early summer.

“We’re unsure if there was ever an entrance sign,” she added. “There is confusion in the community of what the name actually was.

“This signifies its historical nature. It’s important for people to know.”

The cemetery was formally established in 1901. However, Vines Magee added it had been used informally before that date.

“Some people we’re working with are descendants of people buried there,” she said.

“We’re getting to know all the old stories of these residents.

We’re getting an oral history as we go.”

The current goals for the beautification committee, aside from adding more volunteers, is to compile a list of all veterans and place bronze markers on the sites and add one more sign: An interpretive sign board which will be up by the end of summer.

“It’s been so fun,” Vines Magee said, “Our youngest volunteer is 20 and our oldest is 86. When you’re working, there are no ages.”

“I would call it a rebirth,” he said. “Talking to my dad and my grandpa, back in the 70s and 80s, there was five or six different fish plants here in Garibaldi. Each one of them had their own ice plant.

They were processing shrimp, albacore, salmon and all you are getting is albacore, salmon and crab. Shrimp boats can’t come around. They can’t get ice.

“A lot of the boats out here are freezer boats, so they don’t need the ice. But there are a lot of salmon trollers and tuna trollers that need it. When they can not get it, they either are limited to what thet can get here for a couple of boats, or they have to go to the Columbia River to fill their boat up,” he said.

Coon said the grant would allow the company to work with an engineer.

“We have to have them build some plans for a platform for our hoist. “We can start moving product on that dock once we have a hoist,” he added.

According to Coon, the company hopes to have a roof over their heads in time for the upcoming crab season. “We are hoping to have it set up by Jan. 1, because that would al-

low us to be the buying station for another outfit who would be buying crab for the port of Garibaldi here.”

It would also mean more competition helping to drive up the prices for some of the seafood local fishermen catch, Coon added.

“If there is another buyer around, then everybody has to compete for that price. The fishermen get all the benefit from that,” he said.

Coon’s business will be moving into a site on the northeast corner of the new commercial wharf, he said.

The two story structure will be approximately 14,000 square feet after it has been completed.

On the bottom floor, the new facility will focus on processing.

“We are going to build the facility too large for what we need so we could lease out to other seafood processers,” he said.

Coon admitted after the meeting and getting the grant funding presented to him that he was a little nervous. “It is exciting,” he said Coon’s hope is for the port to become a central processing hub for collecting crabs and sending them out in a large shipment.

Once the business is up and running, Coon said he hopes to create a local label for the seafood caught in and around Tillamook Bay. “When we start doing the canning and “Export markets over the last couple of years have been strong, in turn increasing the demand for domestic logs, which is the category public owned timber in Oregon falls into,” said Ty Williams, Oregon Department of Forestry assistant district forester. “Typically an ODF timber sale contract has a two-and-a-half to three year time frame. This allows the purchaser to ‘play’ the market to some extent and try and time their harvest at peak market conditions.”

Riprap appeals end, but not the battle

The appeal of a controversial rip-rap decision was removed from the Rockaway Beach City Council agenda before its Aug. 10 meeting in City Hall.

However, the problem is still confronting the city with pending legal action by homeowner Tai Dang.

The appeal was removed from the agenda because the fees were not paid to cover it, according to John Putman, the city attorney.

The actual riprap request was made as an effort to halt or slow the erosion that was wiping away the sand in front of Dang’s house on Pacific Street.

In the past, a barrier built from drift-

Women’s & Family Health 1011 Third Street, Tillamook OR 97141 adventisthealth.org/trmc

wood had been erected to slow the erosion, but over time even that was washed away.

One of the original proposals was to build a revetment or protective wall 14 feet high and approximately 80 feet long.

After originally being approved by the city, the riprap request was revisited by then-city planner Jay Sennewald and then denied. That started the appeals process for Dang, who lives in Hillsboro.

The request for riprap drew a strong response from Dang’s neighbors, who fought against his request at numerous hearings because of the way it would impact their property.

After the Wave: Survey on Tsunami resilience efforts A research team at Portland State University is conducting a survey of residents and visitors in the Nehalem Bay area. This survey seeks to understand how residents and visitors understand tsunami risk, and what steps they’d be willing to take to become more resilient.

The goal of the survey is to reach a broad set of

residents and visitors in the Nehalem Bay communities.

We want to make sure we hear from people from all around Nehalem Bay – including full time residents, families, employees, parttime residents, and visitors.

A neat and tidy world I

don’t think that I am what you would call a “neat freak”, but I do like to see things in order and clean.

It probably goes back to my mother being fussy about how I looked as I went off to school every morning. Never had any fancy or stylish clothes but what I had on was washed and pressed. My shoes were mostly the high topped pair that I got every year before school started. They were kept greased to make them look good and it made them pretty water proof.

Girls wore dresses or skirts and boys wore pants and that was just the way it was.

My mom would comb my hair every morning with the comb being dipped in a gel solution. That all dried and my hair stayed where she put it until I got to messing with it by

breaking each hair. I must have looked pretty goofy at the end of the school day.

All this neatness carried over into my Navy and working days. Everyone in the military kept themselves in the proper manner and I don’t remember there being much facial hair among the salts that I lived with. I know that we had morning inspections and even the condition of our ears and nose got checked. At one point when I was a squad leader in boot camp, I carried a handkerchief and would check all the ears to avoid getting gigged.

At one point in my life I drove a milk truck and like every other driver I wore the striped overalls with a starched collar shirt and tie.

Pretty natty and impressing the customers was part of the

Somebody went to all the trouble to mow the grass very carefully and even clipped the edges but right behind the flower bed is a jungle of weeds and brush. I notice that same things in public parks and other city properties. I think all that mowing and trimming kind of care pays off as people respect the property and hesitate to leave behind their debris.

Men were allowed to shed their coats while in the office and that brought about another problem in that if you spent the majority of your time there, the suit pants and slacks would wear out long before the coats showed any wear.

When I retired I had a closet full of suits and coats but something happened to all of them.

They all shrunk! Even the shirts got smaller. The only things that survived were the ties and some of them look a little skinny.

Free tour of Alder Creek Farm and natural area with Max Broderick Free Tour of Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area with Max Broderick Imagine a place on the Oregon Coast preserved forever where elk roam, eagles soar, river otters play, great blue herons fish, and volunteers tend a vast community garden and orchard? You’ll discover just such a place for yourself when Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s Stewardship Coordinator, Max Broderick, leads a tour of the Trust’s natural area and wildlife sanctuary at Alder Creek Farm in Nehalem. Join Max on Saturday, August 27, at 1:00 p.m. for a 1.5 mile, easy hike. Alder Creek Farm is located at 35955 Underhill Lane, Nehalem.

Visitors will tour the barn, as well as the Farm’s diverse habitats, which include Alder Creek where otter and beaver live, and the grassy meadow and pond where elk roam and blue heron hunt. Max will lead a discussion of the Farm’s unique ecosystem and the Community Trust’s restoration progress and goals. Bring binoculars, wear long pants and hiking boots; there are bathroom facilities at the Farm. This is a free tour, open to the public and registration is not required. For more information, visit www.tbnep.org/ExploreNature.

This program is part of the Explore Nature series of hikes, walks, paddles and nature-based events offered in Tillamook County throughout the year. Created by Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Lower Nehalem Watershed Council, Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS, Tillamook Bay Watershed Council, Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve and the Watershed Councils of Neskowin, Nestucca and Sand Lake, these meaningful, outdoor experiences highlight the unique beauty of Tillamook County and the work being done to protect the area’s natural resources and natural resource-based economies.

This effort is partially funded by the Economic Development Council of Tillamook County and Visit Tillamook Coast. Learn more about the Explore Nature series at www.tbnep.org/ExploreNature.

With a vision to protect wildlife habitats on the Nehalem Estuary, a small group of local residents purchased the farm in 2002 from William and Carole Anderson who ran a family dairy there beginning in the late 1950s. Founders Vivi Tallman, Tom Bender, Lane DeMoll, Judy Sorrel, Gareth & Georgenne Ferdun, and Doug Firstbrook didn’t

know exactly how it would all work out when they purchased the Farm. But many showed up to help out, and with generous donations from local supporters, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lower Nehalem Community Trust was born.

Lower Nehalem Community Trust is a community land trust dedicated to preserving land and nurturing conservation values in partnership with an engaged community in the Nehalem Region of the Oregon Coast. Its community garden at Alder Creek Farm is that rare place where 40 volunteers come together to grow food to share with families and neighbors served by the North County Food Pantry in Wheeler. Every year the community garden donates more than a ton of fresh organic fruits and vegetables. In addition to the garden, the Farm hosts a native plant nursery, greenhouse, fruit orchard, and ethnobotanical trail. After the farm tour, guests are welcome to take a self-guided tour of the native plant nursery, community garden, and orchard.

Evison to read from his novel

Jonathan Evison will read from his latest novel, This is Your Life Harriet Chance!, at 7pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita on Saturday, September 17, 2016.

It’s been more than 50 years since “This Is Your Life,” the early reality show after which Jonathan Evison’s new novel is named. The show provides the framework for this book.

Evison intersperses current day scenes with ones narrated by an omniscient host addressing Harriet, recounting the days from her birth to her dotage.

“The themes Evison presents — disappointment, delusion, redemption — are universal, and he deals with them beautifully in this wonderful novel.” --The New York Times Sunday Book Review.

“Once again, Jonathan Evison dazzles . . .

This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance! is as sweet as it is inventive, profound as it is hilarious, unflinching as it is bighearted.”

- Maria Semple, author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette It might seem odd for a writer in his 40’s to create a main character who is a 78-year-old widow.

“When I was 17 years old, I lived with my agoraphobic grandmother in a senior citizen trailer park,” Evison recalls in an LA Times interview. “ I was the only person under 65 in this whole community.”

The large mobile-home park was home to a couple of hundred seniors, mostly elderly widows.

Evison’s debut novel, All About Lulu, won critical acclaim, including the Washington State Book Award, and landed on many year-end “Best of” lists, including Hudson Booksellers, where it enjoyed the added distinction of being the only independent title selected in 2008. also won awards.

Real Estate: ‘The time to sell is now’

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home but were waiting for the market to improve, here is a piece of good news: the wait is over.

“When you take into consideration the lack of inventory in the county, the number of buyers out there, historically low interest rates and more relaxed lender guidelines, the time to sell is now,” said Dusty Trost, Broker with Rob Trost Real Estate.

Dusty Trost is the current President of the Tillamook County Board of Realtors, a non-profit association that serves real estate professionals in the county.

The number of active house listings in Tillamook County is down 39 percent since June 2015.

“Inventory is slim,” Trost emphasized, “especially in the lower price ranges.

There is a lot of competition out there for appropriately-priced properties.”

Trost noted that it’s not uncommon to see multiple offers on a single property within the first week that it’s on the market.

“The demand for single family homes is very high.”

This time last year, there were 363 active listings in the

county, versus only 221 now.

The number of days a home is spending on the market is also

declining, from 197 days in June 2015 to 171 days.

“Buyers need to keep a close eye on new listings hitting the market and be prepared to act quickly when they find one they like because they’re not sticking around long,” Trost said.

And, with interest rates at an all-time low and lending guidelines less restrictive, it’s a great time to buy.

“Property values are still relatively low so if you’ve been considering a purchase, now is the time to get pre-approved and start looking,” he said.

A total of 30 homes were sold in Tillamook County in June, bringing the total number of homes sold this quarter to 77.

“The market is the strongest it’s been since 2008,” said Trost. “It’s an exciting time to be in real estate.”

Community Garden Open House: Get a Taste of Gardening Experience a taste of organic gardening at beautiful Alder Creek Farm & Wildlife Sanctuary, and join us for a morning at work in our organic community garden.

If you’ve ever thought about joining a community garden or turning a garden in your own backyard, this is the perfect chance to get started. You’ll see a small-scale working farm in action and learn more about composting and irrigation.

Be prepared to work alongside volunteers and master gardeners weeding, pruning, and harvesting.

The next open house is Saturday, August 20, at 10:00 a.m. Alder Creek Farm is located at 35955 Underhill Lane, Nehalem.

This is a FREE event and registration is not required.

Lower Nehalem Community Trust is a community land trust dedicated to preserving land

and nurturing conservation values in partnership with an engaged community in the Nehalem Region of the Oregon Coast. Its community garden at Alder Creek Farm is that rare place of colorful beauty and magic where volunteers come together to grow food to share among themselves and with families and neighbors served by the North County Food Pantry in Wheeler.

Last year the community garden donated nearly a ton of fresh organic fruits and veggies.

Alder Creek Farm is a 59-acre natural area and wildlife sanctuary, and the community garden honors conservation with organic and sustainable food systems. Also, Alder Creek Farm is a beloved birding site and a stop on the Oregon Coast Birding Trail. In addition to the garden, the Farm hosts a native plant nursery, greenhouse, fruit

orchard, and ethnobotanical trail.

All experience levels are welcome, and it’s recommended children come with an adult and be old enough to work independently.

Master gardener lesson begins at 10:00 am. Bring water and your own gardening gloves if you have them.

New Pirate coach hopes to lead rebuilding Bennett sees challenge in adding more students to the team, completing a varsity season

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net For Chris Bennett, it will be a first.

The former graduate of Neah-Kah-Nie is taking over the school’s football program in the hopes that it can rebound from a year where injuries decimated the team and the season.

The Pirates started 2015 with high hopes and a strong showing in the jamboree, but injuries cut the varsity season short, forcing the squad into a hodge-podge season of eight-man varsity football and junior varsity games.

Now, Bennett has taken over for Scott Ross and is hoping to meet several goals – but the biggest will be to have a complete varsity season while avoiding the wave of serious injuries which derailed last season.

He is also hoping to get more students interested in coming out for the sport because of his successful stint coaching the middle school football team.

In the first days of the 2016 season since practices started Monday, the new coach has 16 players out practicing on the field with another three or four scheduled to soon join the others on grass field to the west of the football field.

Bennett, who graduated from the school in 1999, has been thinking about coaching football. He has helped coach linemen previously at the high school level.

“I always enjoyed it (coaching football). I thought it was a good time to step in,” he said. “I wanted to do something to help rebuild.”

The team will have a whole new coaching staff, with James Billstine. The new english teacher at the school coached at Riddle High School for the last three years. The Irish compete in the 2A Mountain View Conference normally, but were 4-4 as an independent in football for the 2015 season.

In addition, Bennett and Billstine will be joined by Tanner Repass and Mike Sims on the coaching staff.

“It will be a learning experience,” Bennett admitted.

The new coach is also hoping to eventually get around 25 students out for the team.

“We had a very good showing during the summer in the conditioning program he said. We averaged about 14 to 16 kids a night in the weight room.”

Numbers are not only a

problem in Rockaway Beach, but throughout the state, Bennett said. “For all the 2A programs, the numbers are getting really tough. They are all going to be in the mid-20s for the other schools in the league.

The Pirates again have 3A schools on the schedule, but the game with 4A Corbett has been turned into a bye week for the Pirates. Eventually, Bennett said he would like to focus the scheduling on the 2A level schools for the non-league portion of the schedule.

“We would prefer in the future to schedule just 2A games,” he said. “A majority of the players at most of the 2A schools play both ways.” For the new coach, it is just a matter of numbers.

The schools at the 3A and 4A level can outnumber and

The wild melting pot called Brazil

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia

A

ll eyes are turned to Rio De Janeiro Brazil and the Olympic games right now.

I am always fascinated with the Olympic games. I’m drawn in by the talent, commitment and determination of the athletes that stuns me in and the amazing diversity of all of the participants and their varied backgrounds. As usual, I ultimately end up being curious about the country hosting the games and their culinary world.

Turns out Brazil has a very interesting culinary history that is just as diverse as the athletes competing in their fair city right now. Brazilian food is best understood in layers of colonization that has happened there over the years. The foundation of the food is from the native Indians, the first people, then the Portuguese arrived in the 1500s to this lush land to bring their cuisine. Over the next three centuries, the slave trade brought over 5 million Africans to Brazil, along with their diverse traditions. The Germans arrived in the first half of the 19th century, in the second half of the 19th century the Italians, plus a liberal sprinkling of Syrian and Lebanese arrived.

The first half of the 20th century brought a major immigration of the Japanese and now Brazil is home to the second largest Japanese population outside of Japan. Wow… On top of that, there are 5 distinct regions of Brazil and different culinary delights in each. This is easy to fathom as Brazil is almost the size of the United States, only being a smidge smaller. But despite the wild melting pot of cultures and cuisines that fed the development of Brazilian cuisine there

are certain staple ingredients that are common to almost every region.

One of those staples is a gift from the indigenous people, yucca root also known as manioc or cassava. This food has been the cornerstone of Amazon cooking for over 7,000 years. When the Portuguese first settled into Brazil, they tried to raise wheat, failed, and then adopted the native flour made from the yucca root. Consequently, cassava has spread throughout Latin cooking. It is used liberally in Brazilian cuisine from yucca fries (which are supposed to be amazing) to sprinkling the flour on foods as they fry them. It is best known for its use in the national dish, “feijoada” which has 3 more of the Brazilian staples in it, black beans, rice and meat.

Yes, Brazilians love their meat. Their neighbors to the South of them in Uruguay and Argentina are more famous for their meat heavy eating but the Brazilians are right in there too, cooking their beans in many meaty concoctions. They also love roasted skewered meats done over the fire. Usually the spices are light and the meat is roasted and eaten right off the skewer. In Brazil it is called “churrasco” and amazingly enough it was another gift from the indigenous people, in a more round about way.

When cattle first made its way to South America the 17th century, the most likely people to tend the cattle were the indigenous people that knew the back country well and didn’t mind living out under the stars. These guys were called “tropeiros” which not only means cattlemen but also means cattle bird that travels with the herds. As the tropeiros were traveling with their cows they would slaughter one and eat it on skewers over the open fire with a bit of salt, pepper and whatever else they could use in the wilderness.

Eventually this caught fire, (pun intended) and spread throughout the cattlemen and the countries that have cattle down there.

Over the years the churrasco has been elevated to new heights and with the influence of the Italians, turned into a big deal where expensive cuts of meat are served in courses that one pays a lot of money to go experience at restaurants.

But the common person still roasts humble cuts simply on the BBQ with a few spices and serves it with rice and beans.

This recipe has the elements in it that are commonly used in Brazil today.

Brazilian style beef skewers ala Olympics

2 pound rump roast (of preferably grass fed) beef 1/4 cup of olive oil 1/4 cup of orange juice 1-3 garlic cloves, crushed (Depends on how garlicy you want it!)

1-2 teaspoons of cumin 1 teaspoon of paprika or (my favorite) smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper Salt and pepper to taste Get ready to preform your best. You’ve been training and it’s gonna

pay off here! Start with cutting the fat off the roast and then trimming it into strips. Whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a sturdy glass or ceramic bowl and then toss the beef in the marinade. Stir the beef strips around in the marinade till the strips are all well covered then tuck it into the fridge to marinate for 2-8 hours. (I like to make mine in the morning) While the beef is marinating soak your wooden skewers in water. (There are stainless steel skewers that you can buy that are more

South American style but wooden ones are cheap and easy.)

When you are ready, thread the beef onto the skewers and lay in a glass baking dish. Preheat your gas BBQ to medium and then lay your skewers on the hot grill. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side. It won’t take long! If you want to do a more traditional Brazilian skewer, roast on an open fire. Salt and pepper it to taste and serve with rice, black beans and lemon wedges. Gold metal win here!
