Once a destination inn, known for its breathtaking views of Nehalem Bay, the surrounding mountains and sunsets over the Pacific, the View of the West set high on a hill above Wheeler is nowadays apparently home to occasional vagrants and criminals hiding from the law. Built in the 1940s, the View of the West operated as an inn up until 2000, or thereabouts, with its 12 rooms going for $75 to $100 per night.

Built in the 1940s, the View of the West Inn in Wheeler has been closed for more than a decade and sits vacant. Blackberry vines have engulfed the sign at the parking lot entry, while another signs warns. the inn’s “famous” John Wayne and Mint Julip rooms, guaranteed to “excite and please the most discriminating of vacationers.” Owners of the building have come and gone over the years, each set of owners, it seems, harboring intentions to renovate and modernize the facility to bring it back to its former glory. Economic downturns, a fire shortly after the inn closed, and escalat-

ing construction costs have thwarted efforts of the well intended, who discovered too late that they had purchased a money pit. Wheeler resident Eunice

Massie stayed at the inn in 1994 before moving permanently to the area. “It’s a shame,” she says of the building’s current condition. “It had such incredible views. When I stayed there, the owners, who were refurbishing it

The City of Wheeler’s plans to acquire just less than seven acres of property adjacent to Botts Marsh, owned by Vern Scovell and John Jelineo, received a setback when the city learned in July that the grant it applied for to purchase the property was denied. The city received permission from Scovell and Jelineo to apply to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) for the grant following a presentation by Jelineo to the Wheeler City Council earlier this spring. The proposal ranked highly according to City Manager Jeff Aprati, raising hopes that the city could apply again next year should the property still be available. Of 36 projects considered by OPRD, half received funding. “We were two spots away from the cutoff line, so

Wheeler’s plans for Botts Marsh Park hits a roadblock

The Citizen

While the Manzanita Visitors Center continues to make progress, it won’t be completed by the end of September as originally hoped. The reason for the delay: concrete masonry units for construction of the restroom walls. “Apparently,” City Manager Jerry Taylor told city councilors at the Aug. 7 meeting of the Manzanita City Council, “they don’t make it (masonry units) until you order it.” The delay temporarily stopped the framing of the new building, as the masonry walls have to be completed before framing could continue. Taylor expects the 1,000-square-foot building, located at First St. and Laneda Ave. at the site of the former Kent Price Coldwell Banker Realty office, to be completed by the end of October. The city awarded the construction bid earlier this summer to Baumgart Construction, of Rockaway Beach.

At last, concrete masonry units have arrived and restroom walls begin to take shape as work resumes on Manzanita’s new visitors center.

said the MBA set the goal five years ago to have a visitors center and restroom facility close to the beach. With the goal soon becoming a reality, the MBA, she said, has been working with similar centers in Tillamook and Cannon Beach to get a better handle on operations. “It’s part art and part science in running a visitors center,” said Covert on what has been learned so far. “Manzanita has a warm heart and we want that to be reflected in the visitors center.” In addition, the MBA is in the process of hiring a coordinator, who will come on board this fall with the completion of the facility and be responsible for volunteer organization and staffing. Though the MBA is running the center, it will serve Nehalem and Wheeler, as well as Manzanita, Covert added. A formal signed agreement will likely be finalized in September between the MBA and City of Manzanita. By consensus, the council directed city staff to proceed in drafting the agreement.

Giant Sequoia topic of concern for Nehalem Council The tree next to the new city hall receives a health checkup following site preparation By Pat Edley For the Citizen

Still on schedule, Nehalem’s new city hall took a back seat to a discussion about a giant Sequoia located near the construction site. At its August 12 meeting, the Nehalem City Council received an update on the city hall project from City Manager Dale Shafer, who said the project was still on track, with the modular components to be delivered to the site on August 26. In addition, the city had received a copy of an arborist’s report from Jeff Gerhardt of Treescapes Northwest, based in Manzanita, concerning the giant Sequoia (sempervirens),

more commonly known as a coast redwood tree, near the site of the future city hall. In the report, Gerhardt stated that the only roots encountered during excavation were small feeder roots. These were pruned, and the amount of pruning was minimal. Furthermore, Gerhardt stated that the future growth of roots will not affect the new construction. He did, however, recommend that the tree receive a deep feeding, and some pruning to remove broken branches, improve the tree structure and create adequate building clearance. Liane Welch, Tillamook County Public Works director, gave a presentation on the replacement of the Lohman Bridge on MiamiFoley Road southeast of Nehalem. The bridge is in bad shape, Welch stressed, and is checked every day during periods of flooding. In case of cracks or other problems, she said the bridge would be closed immediately.

Last grads from Wheeler High School... 60 years later By Sayde Moser For the Citizen

They were members of the last class ever to graduate from Wheeler High School. That was 60 years ago, in 1953. The following year, area high schools in what is now the Neah-Kah-Nie School District consolidated into one high school north of Rockaway Beach. “We were quite a crazy group,” recalled Merry Lu Bowen, one of the 23 graduates. Of those 23, 10 have died and two more – Gloria Shan-

“Every time I go by it, I think of that beautiful property with the best view in the world,” says Merry Lu Bowen of the site of Wheeler High School. Courtesy photo non and Lenora Woods – are unaccounted for. Graduate Don McElrea said it was a pretty good-sized class to come out of that school.

“One of the largest we ever had.” So was the gymnasium. “It was one of the best in the entire county,” said McElrea. “It was the only one with a full-sized floor.” Amazing, too, was standing in the library watching the eagles fly over the bay and catch fish. “We were so truly blessed with that beautiful wide-open view of the bay from all our west windows,” said Bowen. “Every time I go by it, I think of that beautiful property with the best view in the world.” Bowen lives in Portland now and McElrea in Arkansas,

although they visit the area every summer. Bowen says one of her cherished memories was her junior year, when some of the football players and cheerleaders decided to “play hooky” and go for a boat ride out on the bay – right in front of the school. “The principal’s office faced the bay and we all knew they were out there,” she said with a laugh. “They weren’t allowed to play the next game; that was their punishment.” The elementary school was located on the same campus. It boasted its own cafeteria. “That was really upscale in those

days,” said McElrea’s wife, Audra, who attended high school in Garibaldi and graduated in 1954 from Neah-Kah-Nie. Her husband Don remembers how all the students were supposed to enter in the front of the building, but the high schoolers entered in the back through a window. “There was this ramp that went right up to a window and we would just walk right through it,” he noted. During their senior year, there was a three-way tie in football for the district championship. “That was big because Wheeler hadn’t won against Garibaldi in five years, but we

won that year,” said Don. Audra noted that the football coach at Garibaldi liked to recruit players from throughout the area. “He was a real superpowered coach and principal,” she recalled. “He would get people from out of town, get their dads jobs at the mill and recruit the sons for football.” As for the town of Wheeler, it was bigger in those days, according to Bowen, thanks to the mill. Most of the parents were loggers or worked in the mill. “We were probably all poor and didn’t know it,” said Bowen. “And, we didn’t care.”

Commentary NoCoSoCo looks to clean up

I had a long conversation the other evening with an old friend. I have a few years on him, but he is teetering on the edge of admitting that he is getting old. We had a great time talking about golf and fishing trips that we enjoyed in the past and then we lapsed into feeling bad about our various medical and aging problems. We had a few laughs as we recalled just how hard we used to work at having fun. The conversation gave me cause to do some heavy thinking about the changes I have experienced over the past 25 years and looking for something in my shop was kind of nostalgic. In various cupboards and boxes I found relics of different of hobbies The Old I pursued, such as a large number of reels Geezer of fishing line and leader, along with Walt all of the parts for Trandum making and repairing some of the many fishing rods that are still propped against the wall. Another box contained fishing reels with some of them dating back to my childhood, including my first spinning reel that I bought from a guy that had a bunch of them in the trunk of his car. I probably paid five bucks for it, which was a lot of money then. There is a casting reel that came in a leather case and was top of the line when I bought it. I seem to remember that the last time it was used it there was something wrong with the drag. There is another salmon reel that I know my dad used when he was a young man. It has two knobs and thus called the “knuckle buster,” but it sure caught a lot of fish. I also found several old CB radios that I used in my boats and trucks over the years. I remember the first one that I bought was stolen from my vehicle right outside my bedroom window. About five years later I got a letter from the police department telling me they had my radio. I had trouble remembering the brand, but by golly there it was with the cut wires still hanging from the rear. It was found in the house of a stolen goods fence that was busted somewhere in town. I had scratched my driver’s license number on the back and that was how they found me. Thinking about those CB radios makes me wonder how come we never got in trouble for talking on them. Maybe it was because they were easy to use or perhaps today’s drivers have so much going on they cannot do it all at one time. They were sure handy when we used to caravan with other RV people and, on occasion, they got us out of trouble. Along with the sporting goods and the radio stuff, there are other things, like crawdad traps and herring nets. There was even a big old smelt dipping net that I guess will never be needed again, and still a few boxes of leftover nails, clips and braces that I used while building our house. Once in a great while I find a use for some of that stuff. I have a barrel of old bolts and nuts of every size and thread that you could imagine except for the one you need right now. Of course, when I go to the hardware store I don’t just buy one or two; a handful makes the trip worth the while. This life as the official “fixer” for the family has been interesting and I probably saved a bunch of bucks over the years. Appliances used to be worth repairing, but these days they are built with lots of throw away parts that are expensive to deal with. Overhauling an RV water heater proved the point when the two of the parts I needed exceeded the cost of a new water heater. It’s probably just as well, because I don’t have the patience that I once possessed. Like most things in life, just about the time you have something mastered, you don’t need to do it anymore.

I just want to help people,” said Mike, who currently works in public safety. “But I’m really just a dude with a job; I’ve got to give all of the credit to my wife… she’s the mad scientist doing all of the mixing, getting her hands dirty.” (I’ll let that one hit home.) “I want a NoCoSoCo bumper sticker that says, Dry Safe, Bubble Up.” Mike enthusiastically recommends trying the process, “I encourage people to make it themselves, the information is available on YouTube.” However, a word to the wise, dealing with lye is dangerous and messy and the process of soap making is a precise science, you are better off just buying their soap at the market for $5 a bar, which is a steal for fine

soap, which can run from $15 to $30 a bar in boutiques. This soap is really the best soap, says Mike. “The flavor of the soap comes from the essential oils. The blend of olive and palm oils doesn’t dry out your skin.” On top of this, NoCoSoCo does special orders as well. “A woman called Keri and said she had a bunch of lavender she wanted made into soap so she could give it to her family as gifts.” The scents they flavor their soap with are phenomenal. I personally have tried ‘Sun Tan,’ which is a combination of baby powder and pineapple, among other ingredients, and it really is one of the best things I’ve ever smelled. Keri’s personal favorite is Lilac. Given their immediate success, I asked Keri if she has considered expanding to lotions. “Yes,” is the short answer, “but not for a while. This is just for fun,” she says. But if her enthusiasm and passion for life win out, I’d bet you’ll see a broader line of toiletries sooner, rather than later, from NoCoSoCo.

York for national judging. Mrs. Christian, my choral teacher, instilled in me a love of singing which holds for me to this day. Recently, I asked one of my five grandsons, a bright eight-year old who is the best reader of the bunch, if he was reading chapter books yet. He looked at me like I was crazy. “No,” he said, “I’m not reading, it’s summer!” Though I’m all for kids taking a break over the summer, my hope is that something exciting they’ve learned (like reading) will carry over into a lifetime habit. I still have a booklet entitled “Books I Have Read” from the summer of 1952 listing over 15 books I read that summer. I’m still reading, summers included, and still teaching. When it comes to teaching creative writing and memoir, what resonates with me is Beth Kephart’s comment in her book, Handling the Truth, On the Writing of Memoir. She says teaching memoir is all about teaching questions: Who are you? Where have you been? Where are you going? What do you believe in? What will you fight for? What is the sound of your voice?

I invite all of us at this time of new beginnings to ask ourselves those questions and to consider which of our teachers made a difference. Maybe, it’s not too late to let them know. One year, long after I’d moved on from a high school position in Michigan, I received a letter from a former student thanking me for helping him in my class. Notes like that are few and far between. But what a difference a simple thank you note made in my life. In today’s chaotic world, school may be the only place left for kids to sink into, a place of rest or sanity, a place to grow and learn, make friends and have fun. Teachers hold the key, the future of our generations in their hands. As a teacher, parent and grandparent, I hold teachers in my heart to see to the safe passage of our children. It’s a monumental task. In her book, Kephart refers to teaching as a privilege. I agree. It is a privilege. As a teacher, I honor that privilege and do my very best to bring about positive change in the classroom. I also agree with her final analysis: “Teaching, after all these years, is the marrow in your bones.”

The bathroom tub and toilet appeared to be the original fixtures.” With its basement, two floors of rooms, and an “attic” with sufficient headroom and which ran the entire length of the building, Massie could see why investors were charmed by the possibilities. “With its rooms and an attic that could have been a wonderful meeting room, it would have been a great place for retreats,” she said. Currently owned by a Portland area investor, the building has been for sale for several years. The owner, like his predecessors, planned to renovate the inn, but money became an issue, according to Wheeler City Manager Jeff Aprati. “The intention was, as I understand it, to fix it up, but not long after it was acquired the economy went south,” Aprati told the Citizen. So, instead of being remodeled and fixed up, the building continues to sit vacant and further deteriorate. Windows have long been

n Sequoia From page 1 Welch said that $10 million has been awarded to replace the bridge, which will go to bid in 2014. A three-span design has been decided upon, and will include the main bridge over the Nehalem River and a “relief bridge.” In addition, there will be no pilings or structures in the middle of the river in order to prevent logs and other watercarried debris from piling up against the bridge structure. When the new bridge is under construction, the old one will be used as a detour bridge. The bridge, Welch noted, is extremely important in the case of a Hwy 101 closure, making the Miami-Foley route the only direct detour between north county and Tillamook. Karen Reddick-Turley, chair of the CARTM’s board of directors, gave a presentation, touching briefly on the history of the facility. It began as an all-volunteer effort, she said, and later partnered with the Tillamook Transfer Station to become the Manzanita Transfer Station. A large part of their high costs, she explained, is due to heavy, dense materials, such as construction debris, which could be recycled. “This

At the entrance to the parking lot, a View of the West sign is engulfed by blackberry vines and barely visible. In its current condition, it would make a great backdrop for a horror movie noted one official. Meanwhile, Wheeler looks to pursue avenues available to the city, which includes working with the present-day owner, to better secure the building. “It is definitely unsafe; it’s worse on the inside than it appears on the outside,” said Mayor Stevie Burden at the June meeting of the Wheeler City Council, in which Manzanita police officer Mikes Sims briefed councilors on the challenges the building presents for law enforcement officials. Said Sims of the former

vacationer destination; “It’s a great place, if you’re a criminal looking to hide. There has been more than a dozen calls in the general vicinity of the inn in the three years I’ve been here.” Sims, who until recently had never been inside the building, noted that food items, trash and blankets have been discovered by officers when investigating the site. “It’s not secure and a real concern for law enforcement officials. It’s easy to access, whether it’s individuals who have committed a crime or just vagrants staying there,” Sims added. “It’s been an issue for years,” said Wheeler City Manager Jeff Aprati, noting that the inn’s current owner shares the same concerns as the city. “Our concern is safety and securing the site from unauthorized entries. The problem is how do we secure it. Even though it is fenced, people can still hop the fence.” For the time being, Wheeler continues with its abatement process of working with the owner to rectify the situation. At the city’s disposal is its nuisance ordinance, should it determine the building and its owner are in violation of it.

The final phase of a project that started in 2007 is nearing completion. Tillamook Bay Community College’s distant learning center at Neah-Kah-Nie High School will be open and ready for students come the first week of school, said TBCC Foundation President Jon Carnahan. This center was part of a ballot measure passed in 2007 to build the main TBCC campus. Within the ballot, it indicated that the college would build technology centers in north and south county. The main campus was completed in 2010. At the same time as it was being constructed, the college also remodeled the college and career center at Tillamook High School. Then in 2012, the south county facility was opened for business. As with the south county facility at Nestucca High

had a 20 percent match attached to it, which might have been problematic had the property not appraised for $1.1 million. Aprati said the owners “donated” 20 percent of the total appraised value to provide the matching funds required. “We’re keeping that relationship warm, “said Aprati of working with Scovell and Jelineo, “but we also understand they own it… however, they like the idea of working with the city to

acquire the property.” With a little under a month to submit its grant application, the city could not come up with any additional funds towards the acquisition of the “uplands” parcel on such notice. Secondly, there wasn’t time to provide OPRD an environmental analysis of the site, which at one time was the site of a shingle mill. “You can still see remnants of the mill’s foundation there,” Aprati noted.

Wheeler’s Vision Plan, with input from its citizens, makes clear the kind of low-key development most want to see for the Botts Marsh area. Previous plans for a marina and large-scale condominiums have met with considerable resistance from members of the small coastal community. The idea of purchasing the seven acres “uplands” for the creation of a waterfront park and possible interpretive center, coupled with a

will be CARTM’s No. 1 priority for the coming year,” she said. Reddick-Turley also noted that a large volume of household waste has influenced CARTM to do a demo composting home garden, to show people how to do this themselves. CARTM has invested heavily in its resale store, she added, and she thanked communities for being willing to take the time to sort plastics, as that’s the only way CARTM can continue to take plastics under current market conditions. In other business, public hearings were held on two proposed ordinances and three resolutions, with little input from the public other than a few questions. The council declared an emergency and adopted an ordinance amending the Nehalem Zoning Ordinance 80-2 – adopting new provisions relating to definitions, flood hazard overlay administration, and flood hazard reduction. In this case, City Manager Dale Shafer explained that if this ordinance was not approved, citizens would be paying considerably more for flood insurance. The council also passed the first reading of an ordinance providing for a transient

lodging tax for the City of Nehalem and to provide for the administrative procedures for the collection of the same and amending Ordinance 2004-02. In addition, the council approved resolutions • declaring the city’s request to receive grant funding through the Coastal Management Grant Program, • adopting a new schedule of fees, charges and monetary penalties for the City of Nehalem, and • extending the City of Nehalem’s Workers’ Compensation coverage to certain volunteers of the City of Nehalem. A water master plan for the city, with a water management and conservation element, was discussed, and the council voted to have Otak, Inc., of Seaside, do the master plan. During a discussion of a possible fence in front of the American Legion Cem-

etery, public works head Don Davidson said he would much rather see a low shrub border surround the cemetery rather than a fence. A decision was tabled. The next meeting of Nehalem’s City Council is scheduled for Sept. 9, at 7:30 p.m., at Nehalem City Hall.

it’s back to the drawing board as Wheeler looks for a successful alternative to acquire the land for Botts Marsh Park.

The original completion date was Aug. 23, and while Carnahan said they’re extremely close to being finished. “We’ll make sure the students can use those classrooms when they arrive back at school,” he said. The south county campus had been completed first because of the high need for classroom space after the combining of the junior and senior high schools. Carnahan said they continue to use the south county center, offering collegelevel courses to high school students and members of the community. Nestucca Valley School District has also gotten pretty good use out of it, he said. “It’s been a pleasure working with all of the school districts on this project,” Carnahan said. An open house and dedication for the north county campus is scheduled Monday, Sept. 9, from 4 to 6 p.m.

School, Neah-Kah-Nie High School has a joint use agreement with TBCC to use the space when it’s not occupied by college courses. Unlike in south county, this newest learning center didn’t require constructing a brand new building. “They didn’t need any additional space,” explained Carnahan. There was enough room within the high school building to accommodate the college classes; it just needed to be updated. “So instead of building a brand new building, we invested the same amount of money up there by remodeling four classrooms and a wing with its own entrance,” he said. Because they were just remodeling, they couldn’t start the process until school was officially out and have to be finished before the students come back, said Carnahan. The four classrooms will serve as a science room, computer/math room, technology and liberal arts.

David Barsamian, author of the book Targeting Iran, gave a reading at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita in Oct. 2007. Norris approached him about making a film based on the book.

Community News Briefs Last month, Tillamook County Commissioners passed a resolution proclaiming their support for the Great Oregon Shakeout. This year’s exercise takes place on October 17, at 10:17 a.m. The “ShakeOut” earthquake drills, which are now held worldwide, looks to motivate people to be prepared, to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” to protect themselves during earthquakes at work, school and home. To participate, organizations and individuals can register on the Great Oregon ShakeOut at http:// shakeout.org/register/. “Registering lets the county and the state know what people are planning for their drills and how many people are involved plus, once they register, they will also receive updates and other preparedness information,” said Emergency Manager Gordon McCraw. The ShakeOut began in southern California in 2008 as a way of involving the general public in a large-scale emergency management exercise, which has now grown to become the largest public preparedness exercise in the United States. More than 14.5 million people in the U.S., and 160,000 Oregonians participated in ShakeOut 2012. Part of the appeal of the ShakeOut is its simplicity. At a minimum, participants practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On,” the recommended procedure for self-protection in an earthquake. Many schools and other organizations also practice additional aspects of their preparedness plans. ShakeOut is hopefully changing the way people and organizations are approaching community-wide earthquake preparedness. “Tillamook County’s risk of a 9.0 magnitude or higher, earthquake, similar to Japan’s 2011 earthquake increases each year,” said McCraw. To learn more about the Oregon ShakeOut, visit their webpage at www.shakeout. org/oregon

First prize and second prize just isn’t the right way to describe this year’s top two prizes for CARTM’s annual Re-think raffle as they both hold top billing appeal. Tickets are on sale now at CARTM for this year’s effort to support north county’s award-winning recycling facility. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and offer the opportunity to win one of three prizes. Holder of the first ticket drawn will have their choice of the top two prizes: a Manzanita staycation ($600 value) or a private party for eight at VINO/Manzanita ($500 value). The staycation offers two nights at the pet friendly Studio/Lighthouse on the oceanfront in Manzanita. Along with two nights of lodging, the staycation includes dinners for two at Terra Cotta and the Big Wave, breakfast or lunch at Bread and Ocean and a massage at Longevity. The private party for eight at VINO is offered during the month of January 2014 and includes dinner, wine, live music, gratuity and the

private ambiance of this local wine bar for the eight lucky winners. The third prize, valued at $250 is a “Recycling PhD.” This unique prize includes an in-home consultation by CARTM staff to design a recycling set up to fit the space and lifestyle of the winner. New recycling bins, a home composter and a $50 gift certificate to The Refindery round out the prize. The winning tickets will be drawn at this year’s second annual CARTM Trashion Show/Upcycle Party on Saturday, Oct. 12 at NCRD.

Zucchini oat dark chocolate chip cookies

I have a gluten free version of a chocolate chip cookie with bacon and almond flour on my blog cavewomancafe.wordpress.com. Take a walk on the wild side and try it! This recipe makes about two dozen cookies and can be easily doubled. 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) softened 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar, depending on how sweet you like it 1 large egg 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla 1.5 cups of grated zucchini or any summer squash 1.5 cups of all-purpose organic flour 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1 cup of oats 1 cup of chopped nuts 1.5 cups or 10 o.z of dark chocolate chips or chunks

know. The four kittens needed a ton of socializing and lots of potty box cleaning, room cleaning, feeding and lots of care. I didn’t know what I was getting into! They blossomed under lots of love and good food and turned into loving silly kittens. United Paws found fantastic homes for three of them and we kept one of them, Willow, to be a playmate with Bodhi and romp through the house. (Which they are doing right now.) Now, we have a full happy house with little furry feet pitter-pattering all over. I decided traveling is over rated and potty boxes aren’t

really that hard to clean. So, making a short story long, I will not be fostering anymore cats for obvious reasons. I will continue to volunteer for United Paws answering the hotline and working at adoptathons but I have learned I’m have a soft heart and can’t say no to these little creatures. I have also learned that United Paws is filled with loving volunteers that give endlessly for the many less fortunate cats of Tillamook County. If you have a few extra nickels or some time, please give too… http://unitedpaws. wordpress.com/. I am sharing this recipe

First things first; turn the oven onto 350 degrees and grate your zucchini. Next, get out your mixer and whip the butter, egg and vanilla until creamy. I mean really creamy. Mix in the zucchini. Now, combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended. With the mixer on, add the flour mix to the butter mix until just combined. Stir in oats, nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a light greased baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes till golden brown and fragrant. Try to cool of a few minutes before consuming. Make sure and save some for other people, okay? These also make great ice cream sandwiches. against my better judgment; you are going to love these! You are going to get hooked, just like me. You won’t be able to stop making them. I took a batch of these cookies to a summer BBQ and everyone swooned over them. They were the first cookies to disappear and I got many requests for the recipe. If I was

going to hold a bake sale for all the lost and homeless pets of the world, these would be the first cookies I’d bake. (They also use that pesky zucchini that you neighbor left on your porch.) So bake some cookies and volunteer somewhere meaningful and you have the recipe for true happiness.

Perhaps you’ve seen the tie-dye box of bunny crackers in the organic grocery aisle? Or, perhaps you know the name of Annie’s Homegrown whose tagline is “cultivating a healthier happier world.” The Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) had a close encounter with Annie’s Homegrown recently as Manzanita resident and LNCT member Sue Griffith became one of three winners of its national “Bun-way” Project. The unique contest asked people to create something out of 9’ x 9’ piece of the Annie’s purple banner, which recently hung outside the New York Stock Exchange when the company went public. “I became aware of the contest when I visited Annie’s website to read more about something totally unre- Manzanita resident Sue Griffith, holds a piece of the purple fabric supplied to create her prize-winning entry for Annie’s Homegrown national lated,” said Griffith. “When “Bun-way Project” contest.

Rinehart centennial fundraising nears goal

The Sand Dollar Auction, signature event of the Rinehart Clinic’s yearlong centennial celebration, brought the fundraising total for the year closer to its stated goal of $100,000. Camy Von Seggern, board member and auction chair, said that the money raised at the July 27 dinner and auction, which netted over $87,000, followed the nine-year trend of raising more each year than the previous one. “We had more community involvement than ever,” said Von Seggern, “and we were delighted to see so many community volunteers and guests supporting this community health center.” Over 130 guests wined and dined under the big tent in Nehalem. They enthusiastically raised their bidding paddles after viewing a poignant video

about the Rinehart Clinic and its patients. Many celebrants returned the next day to join the larger community for free birthday cake, hot dogs and a spectacular timber exhibition. Ellen Boggs, Rinehart Clinic CEO, expressed her thanks to Rinehart Clinic’s board of directors and the Nehalem Bay community for support and enthusiasm throughout the year. “There was something for everyone,” she said. “We had a heart healthy dinner in February, a vintage fashion show in March, and historical story boards in May. Patients, families and friends have helped us to continue to provide a complete range of medical services and referrals in our home community. We plan to continue in the healthy tradition established by the

Rinehart family a hundred years ago.” John Sorenson, board president, said, “We have a wonderful giving community that recognizes the importance that Rinehart plays here. Our goal is in sight. We need only a little more than $12,000 to reach it, and with only one quarter left in Rinehart’s centennial year, we are trusting that our community partners will help us get there.” The commemorative birthday cake that has been on display in Wheeler throughout the year will be moved, but the wooden candles will continue to be displayed. Board member and centennial chair Sue Remy, says she has a few more to sell. A contribution of $100 will buy a candle to honor a loved one or simply show support.
