Take care of your community Join thousands of volunteers on Saturday, September 19 for the SOLVE Beach & Riverside Cleanup, presented by the Oregon Lottery, as we clean up Oregon’s waterways and take care of our parks, neighborhoods, and natural areas. Choose from over 100 projects across the state including litter cleanups, invasive plant removals, and planting of native trees and shrubs. Volunteers can find local project details and register online at solveoregon.org, or by calling 503844-9571 x332.

During this year’s event, volunteers at litter cleanup sites will participate in a worldwide citizen-science effort by submitting data on the types of trash they collect.

Top items collected by volunteers typically include cigarette filters, Styrofoam, plastic caps, fishing line, bottles and bags. Most plastics do not biodegrade, but instead break down into tiny pieces that can be harmful to fish, birds and marine mammals. Volunteers at restoration sites will also make a posi-

tive impact on wildlife and their habi-

tats. Removal of invasive species, such as English ivy and Himalayan blackberry, helps native plants to thrive which reduces erosion, provides vital nutrients, and shades our streams. Oregonians are urged to join SOLVE on September 19 to make a difference in their community.

This year’s event runs from 10 a.m. 1 p.m. Volunteers are encouraged to preregister online at solveoregon.org, or by calling 503-844-9571 x332.

Harvest Festival 2015 is coming T

Including E-Edition

“Look what I found on my morning walk today,” said a Facebook post from a good friend, and there was a beautiful photo of a blown glass float. And then a link – www. floathunt.com. A few quick clicks and I’m reading all about Roger and Trevor Crosta’s latest way to share their beautiful artistic glass floats with the general public and introduce their innovative Afterglow Memorials.

The Crostas are a father and son glassblowing team working here in Nehalem.

“We love it here and feel lucky to be able to do what we do in this amazing place,” said Roger.

“To show our appreciation and showcase our work, we started our Float Hunt Project as a way to share our amazing blown glass creations with the world. We hide floats at random on Oregon’s Beaches throughout the year, so if you’re lucky enough to find one, please post a picture and share your story with us!”

Explains Roger, “I started throwing out floats randomly two years ago when we started Afterglow Memorials.” He continued, “I threw them out for fun at first, but this year I realized it was a great way to promote our

The event is at Alder Creek Farm located at 35955 Underhill Ln. in Nahalem.

Bring your friends and don’t miss out on this free, funfilled annual tradition! This year’s Harvest Festival will include: • Cider pressing • Food, beer, and wine vendors • Kids activities • A farmer’s market • Bake sale • Conservation tours • Community Garden tours, and much more!

Because space is limited, and to protect the conserved lands surrounding the Farm, this year’s Harvest Festival will have no car parking available. Parking will be provided at several lots in the surrounding area, with free shuttles regularly transporting to and from the available parking lots. There will also be prizes awarded to the most creative noncar method of arriving at the festival!

Volunteers are needed to help with parking, kids, cider, beer and wine service, setting up, and tearing down for the event. To be a volunteer for Harvest Festival, call Gary at 503-368-7633 or Mary at 503-368-3203.

Manzanita Farmers Market celebrates final market of season Sept. 18th 7

29467 70001 8

The final market of the season in Manzanita is Friday September 18th, and the traditional treats for market shoppers will be available -- FREE Tillamook Ice cream and free Pelican Beer. Yes, FREE ice cream and FREE beer! It’s a time to celebrate the harvest and transition of the seasons. And the market is undergoing another transition as a new market manager prepares to take over. On the left, Emily Vollmer, the new Manzanita Farmers Market manager for next season, has been learning the market manager ropes from Laura Swanson. After eight seasons as Manzanita Farmers Market manager, Swanson is pleased to put the Market in Vollmer’s capable hands. Currently with Food Roots as North Coast Grown program manager, Vollmer’s grant position ends in November, so the Market Manager position was perfect timing. Vollmer has experience as a farmers market vendor, a background in agriculture and horticulture and is already integrated into the market community. “We were thrilled that Emily accepted the position,” said Swanson. “She brings a wealth of experience, enthusiasm and energy. After a decade, the market is in a great position, with grant funding for programs in place and a solid group of great vendors.

Emily is the perfect person to take the market to the next level,” said Swanson. “And I’m looking forward to just hanging out, enjoying the music and great food at the market in 2016.”

School District is constantly trying to improve,” he said.

“The Standard Response Protocol training is a research based national model that many schools and other public agencies are implementing, it’s a critical ingredient of school safety and is the uniform classroom response to an incident at school.”

I Love You Guys Foundation was founded after an incident at a school district where a student was shot by an intruder.

According to the foundation’s website, on Sept. 27, 2006 a gunman entered Platte Canyon High School, held seven girls hostage and ultimately shot and killed Emily Keyes. During the time she was held hostage, Emily sent her parents these text messages: “I love you guys” and “I love u guys. k?”

tion.

Also according to the site, a critical ingredient in the safe school recipe is the uniform classroom response to any incident. Weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety are scenarios that are planned and trained for by school and

district administration and staff. Historically, schools have taken this scenariobased approach to respond to hazards and threats. It’s not

uncommon to find a stapled sheaf of papers or even a tabbed binder in a teacher’s desk that describes a variety of things that might happen and the specific response to each event.

According to Erlebach, his staff, administration and teachers will host ongoing training on many emergency scenarios at the district.

Erlebach also said he and his staff will also continue to build relationships with local emergency response and safety management personnel as part of the

districts safety plan.

Erlebach has scheduled another safety training for district employees, which the public is invited to attend on Wed. Oct. 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. During this training the group will focus on natural disasters namely, tsunami and earthquake preparedness.

Safety is not the only items that Erlebach said his staff is making uniform around the district. Sixth through 12 grade English and Math curriculums are new this year with a focus on uniform ways to take notes in class, making it easier as the student moves from grade to grade and learns the next section of each curriculum. Erlebach believes this will give each student a better understanding moving from grade to grade and give them the tools to succeed in these key learning areas.

Community Health Council members needed The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners is seeking applicants for the Tillamook County Community Health Advisory Council to represent consumers of Tillamook County health centers. Applications from citizens living in the north (Bay City to Falcon Cove) and south County areas are especially encouraged to apply. The Council’s bylaws stipulate that at least a majority of the total membership must consist of individuals who use health center programs. The Board of Commissioners’ policy is to maintain a geographical balance on the Council.

A consumer is defined as an individual who has or is using health center programs within the last two years or is a legal guard-

ian of a consumer who is a dependent child or adult, a legal sponsor of an immigrant. Council members will be trained to carry out their duties.

The Council was created to meet the Federal statute requirements for several of the grant programs that are delivered by the Health Department; and to provide the Department with community input regarding programs delivered throughout the county.

The mission of the Council is to assure excellence in Tillamook County Health Department services, provide leadership and work as partners with other medical and social organizations for a healthy community.

The purpose of the Council is to develop policy

and generally to govern the operation of and advocate for the programs of the Tillamook County Health Department, subject to the overall policies of Tillamook County and the directives of the Board of County Commissioners.

For more information about this advisory council, contact Donna Gigoux at the Health Department, 503842-3948 or the Health Administrator at 503-842-3922.

Membership application forms are available on the County website under the Board of Commissioners’ page. Applications should be e-mailed to Sue Becraft in the Commissioners’ office at sbecraft@co.tillamook. or.us by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11, 2015.

n Treasure Continued from Page A1 business, which is creating blown glass memorials with cremation ash in the form of a beautiful glass float.”

The first “official” Float Hunt occurred this Labor day in and around Manzanita Beach. Over 30 floats were released into the ocean, hidden in the dunes from the north end of the beach all the way down into the south end of Nehalem State Park. Some were hidden on the trail and in the Bay at the park; some were tossed into the river. “One of the best ‘hiding spots’ was putting one in a great sand castle someone built on the beach,” enthused Roger. The artists just light up when they talk about sharing these works of art with the public, just like the faces of the lucky “finders”. “We’ve had a great response from the people who have found them, and we’ll posting up pictures and text on our Facebook page,” (link at www.facebook.com/ floathunt) said Roger. “I think most of them were found, and we’ve had a number of responses so far.”

The Crostas will be releasing floats regularly from now on, at random sites on the beach, in the ocean, and in the dunes.

A post on their Facebook page will alert searchers about a release. “We’ll do another big release during the holidays, maybe New Years,” hinted Roger. “We are sending them out to friends all over the country and even internationally for people to release for us, and we want to get them out as far as possible to see who finds them and tells us where and when,” he added “We’re also going to start geocaching, probably on Neahkahnie Mountain.”

Crosta has been blowing glass for 20 years using a process called “Scavo”, which means excavation in Italian, for all his glass from the beginning. Over the years Crosta’s Scavo Glass specialized in architectural lighting creating chandeliers and pendant lights, and also made ikebana vessels which sold online and in galleries.

The Scavo process involves fusing ash into molten glass and gives it a rough, textured surface. Afterglow Memorials was started in the summer of 2013. “We created a way to fuse the cremation ash of loved ones and pets into our blown glass several years ago, and we chose the form of a glass fishing float to symbolize the journey of their spirit across the sea,” explained Roger. “People don’t throw them into the ocean, obviously, they display them in their homes as a celebration of life.” Trevor, Roger’s son joined him two years ago and the memorials have become so popular that they

they were an inexpensive way for fishermen to add buoyancy to their nets .

Soon many countries in Europe were using them, and the many manufacturing companies began identifying their floats with a stamp on the button seal on the bottoms of the floats. The countries in the far east, particularly in Japan, who made most of the floats that still wash up on the beaches here, didn’t begin manufacturing them until the early 1900’s. They used recycled sake bottles for their raw material, so the majority of the floats that you find on the beach these days are various shades of light bluish green.

There were other colors used by various manufacturers throughout the years, however, including clear glass, amethyst, violet, dark brown, beer bottle amber, and a variety of blue, pale ruby, and cranberry glass.

The pale ruby and cranberry floats are the most valuable, because the only way to produce those colors in glass is to use gold.

Glass floats had to be tied into the nets, so they broke free fairly easily and had to be replaced frequently. That’s why there are still many of those old floats circling the pacific ocean in the Japanese Current and washing up on our beaches after fierce storms.

Eventually cork, metal, and plastic floats began to replace the glass floats because they were easier to attach securely and cheaper to manufacture. But finding one of them on the beach is nothing compared to the thrill of seeing a beautiful glass float that’s washed up on the sand, sparkling in the sun on the morning after a powerful coastal storm!

So, now begin your own “float hunt” with help from Afterglow Memorials. “We make and release our beautiful glass floats on the beach for free as a creative way to let people know about our unique services–making blown glass cremation ash memorials for people who have lost loved ones or pets,” said Crosta. “We fund the project ourselves, make the floats that we give away all by hand, and host events like the Labor Day Float Hunt at our own expense.

We also donate our beautiful studio floats to various charities and events we like.

We’d greatly appreciate your spreading the word about our products and services so that we may continue the work and make our Float Hunt project even bigger!” he concluded. For more information, go to www.floathunt.com or see their Facebeook page at facebook/floathunt or go to www.AfterglowMemorials. com.There truly is treasure on Manzanita Beach and throughout the North Tillamook County – artists such as the Crostas creating Scavo blown glass floats and randomly sharing it with everyone.

have put all other projects on hold, and focus on only making them. Trevor also does flame-worked glass and creates cremation ash jewelry. Their website, AfterglowMemorials.com is simple to use and explains the process and online purchases. A cremation ash collection kit is sent out and the memorial is made with a tiny amount of the ash. The process takes 4-6 weeks, and the finished memorials come with a display ring and look beautiful on a mantel or shelf. (There is detailed information on the website.)

“The floats and memorials are also unique in that every piece we make creates some kind of emotional response in the person who receives it, whether they had us make a cremation ash memorial, or they found a studio float that we released on the beach,” said Crosta. “That’s different than any other type of art I’ve done, and it’s special because it’s a beautiful three-dimensional art glass object created using a historic process. That I do Scavo as well makes it even more interesting and one of a kind. It’s a pretty cool way to do art!”

Here is an entry from Roger Crosta’s journal: 6:44 pm. I finished up the Labor Day 2015 Float Hunt today, and it was the most fun ever! It changed the way I’m going to do my art from now on, and I realized that giving it away like this is the best way to proceed. At first I was concerned about who might find it, but now I realize that the whole point is to share it with people who otherwise might not ever see it, no matter who they are or how they receive it. If they love it, value it, and post up on our Facebook page that’s great. If they leave it there, that’s how they experience it. If they take it home and leave it in a box, that’s fine. if they destroy it or throw it away, then that is how they related to it.

It’s all great, and it doesn’t matter at all now to me how it’s received.

Putting my art out there so anyone can find it and react to it however they want is what’s important to me now.

“It’s an art form that allows me to express color and technique, and I’m so happy I developed it and finally turned it into something I can share–it’s a great way of communicating with people I would never otherwise meet!” said Roger.

The float form is also totally amazing, because it’s sturdy, functional, it can travel across the ocean, be displayed indoors or outside, and it will endure for centuries, unchanged wherever it winds up. A Very Brief History of Glass Fishing Floats...

Commentary

Friends everywhere As time goes by, we all lose dear friends for many reasons. Aging is to blame for most, and there are other tragedies that can take their toll. It brings me to think about the friends beyond family and work place people, those we have met in many different ways.

I think an interesting fact is that many of the people we have met live in other parts of the country, and the world, and just chance meetings that blossomed into full blown friendships. Some of those have proven to be strong enough for us to travel half way around the world for visits. As I think about it, the forming of those friendships, it took some effort on the both parties. We may have shared some common interest, but beyond that, there was perhaps a similarity in beliefs and goals in life.

At a Lions Club International convention in Miami, Florida, we met people from everywhere and came away with new friends who would share a large part of our future life.

There was a lunch meeting where all delegates were assigned seats with someone from another district

from somewhere in the world. The person I was to meet had died, and so I was facing lunch by myself when I looked up to find another fellow having trouble finding his assigned mate.

Turned out he was from Australia when I told him what had happened to my assigned person, and that The Old prompted him to say Geezer that perhaps Walt he too was alone and Trandum we should get together.

Several things in the Lions organization were discussed and we shared plans that we had for the coming year.

We parted amiably and realized we

would both be attending a formal dinner the next evening.

We ended up having dinner that next night with my new friend and our wives along with several hundred other members from all over the world. We discovered that we had a lot of things in common. One of them was that while we had five children, they had six. We both had daughters named Margaret that were about the same age. We talked about perhaps taking advantage of the Lions Youth Exchange program and swap Margarets for the six week exchange session that next year. Our Margaret chose to not participate, and so we sent our Karen to visit them in Australia. It turned out to be the start of a life long friendship for our families.

We hosted their Margaret, and a few years later their son Jim. Our daughter made two trips down there, and a few years later, my wife and I traveled there to further our friendship.

The parents in Australia have passed away, but we are still in touch with their son. The computer has allowed us to share information at any time and it has proved to be a bless-

Richard “Dick” Wayne Woodward was born October 7th, 1940 in Tillamook, Oregon to Merritt & Vivian Woodward. He was raised on the family farm and went to high school at Nehalem. He loved football and played in the East-West Shriner’s game in Pendleton in 1958. Richard was a dairy farmer all his life and a very successful one. His

farm was his passion and his hobby. He loved the land and was always working to improve and make his farm more productive and profitable.

Richard met the love of his wife, LaRayne, in high school. They were married on January 16th, 1960. To Richard, family was the most important part of his life. He loved spending every chance he could get with family and playing with his kids and grandkids. He spent a lot of time at family gatherings dog piling all the kids and cracking his corny jokes.

He was always interested in people and never met a stranger and could talk to anyone. Even though he was always busy, he would be the first person to help a family member,

friend, neighbor, and even a stranger in need. He treated everyone with respect and believed in second chances.

He also believed everyone had a talent or gift they could use in life. He particularly enjoyed mentoring young men and teaching them the value of hard work.

He was very involved with the 4-H program and was a 4-H dairy leader for 20 years. He spent 27 years on the TCCA Board of Directors. He was always open to new ideas in the dairy industry. He would study and research new innovations from all angles before making a decision of whether he should utilize it.

Richard is preceded in death by his parents and brothers Floyd, Lyle, Jerry, Charles & Edward and his sisters Retha and Mildred.

Richard is survived by his wife LaRayne of Nehalem, sons Dennis (Teresa) Woodward of Nehalem, Gary Woodward of Nehalem and daughters Carol (Ray) Myers of Salem, Tasha (Cameron) Malcolm of Spokane, WA and Cami Woodward of Nehalem. His sisters Verna Bell of Sweet Home, OR, Peggy Rhodes of Kent, WA and Kay Moser of Big Fork, MT and brother Ronald Woodward of Turner, OR. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 19th at 11:30 am at the Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in his name to the Tillamook County 4-H Dairy program.

ambulances and a quick trip to the hospital it became one of the more memorable days. Those people from everywhere pitched in and made the right things happen, I think the interesting thing that we have found a great amount of similarity in the life styles and beliefs of those from wherever they lived.

We all get involved in listening to the news each and every day that puts a pure political slant on every place where people are struggling to find a life style that will allow them the basic freedoms that we take for granted. We have our problems, but nothing to match what is happening to a great many people who are probably much like us and have no place to go!

Our experience in hosting youth exchange students certainly enhanced all of our lives, mostly the friendship, but more importantly the understanding that people everywhere are the product of their environment, and there is always room for improvement and a need for understanding.

ing. I remember when I was making tapes and mailing them with whatever message I was passing along.

Another chance meeting in a campground led to friends who lived in Germany. The fact that they were from the area that my mother’s ancestors came from was interesting.

That relationship lasted for several years, and unfortunately, one of them has passed away. One day we mentioned the rationing that we had during World War II. Our friends from Germany were shocked to hear that we had those kinds of problems.

Their impression as small children during the war was that the United States had plenty of everything. They also told us that the lady’s father was killed the day after the surrender; their communications were such that they didn’t know it was all over.

Many other friends came from all parts of the United States and Canada, and we spent several winters in Arizona where those relationships became quite close. Just to make things interesting, I arranged to have a heart attack one afternoon during our daily gathering and with

The Wright Brothers Book Review

By Kay Stepp What can one do with intellectual curiosity, single focus determination, courage, stamina and selfsacrifice? You can change the world.

This is the overriding conclusion one draws from reading The Wright Brothers, written by two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize David McCullough (Simon and Schuster, 2015).

Wilbur and Orville Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, are the iconic American success story. Born to a preacher and his wife who had three other children, the brothers had minimal formal education but their parents encouraged reading, intellectual interests and curiosity. Wilbur, an avid reader, was the genius of the two who had a vision of man in flight from his study of birds. Orville was a mechanical wizard who made Wilbur’s vision real-

ity. Together they formed a partnership from childhood on. They never married, forming an allegiance to one another and their mission to fly. Other members of the family, namely their father, a bishop, their mother and their sister Katherine played important roles in the brothers’ development and eventual success, caring for and encouraging them through difficult times.

When the brothers began their pursuit of man in flight, they were proprietors of a bicycle shop in Dayton. Their earnings from the bicycle shop financed their costly experiments. Not until they demonstrated the soundness of their flying machines in France, years after beginning their quest, did the brothers receive some small payment for their inventions. They suffered setbacks, public ridicule, rejection by the US Government, personal injuries, and near death experiences, but they never wavered in pursuit of

their goal.

McCullough draws on what seems to be an extraordinary collection of private diaries, notebooks, scrapbooks and more than a thousand letters from private family correspondence to tell their story.

He takes what, for me, was a one dimensional story of that day in 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, when they took the first flight, to a three dimensional story of two men dedicated to making something happen that had never been done before. Further, their story is set in the turn of the 20th century, a period of rapid technological change and new global awareness – a fascinating time that McCullough has written about in previous books.

One finishes The Wright Brothers with a deep appreciation for these two humble men who epitomized the American spirit and who changed the course of history by making it possible for man to fly.

Volunteer Fair to help connect volunteers to nonprofits

By Laura Swanson lswanson@countrymedia.net

“We need more volunteers” is the most-often heard statement from the over 60 nonprofits throughout Tillamook County.

But how do you recruit them? Then, what do you do with them? Where are they and how do we encourage more people to volunteer?

“It seems that we are all looking for volunteers, and we see many of the same people volunteering at the various nonprofits,” commented Melissa CarlsonSwanson from the Tillamook Regional Food Bank. “We don’t want to burn them out, and we need to recruit new volunteers.”

The idea for a countywide recruitment fair has been bouncing around for a decade or more, and this year with organization from Carlson-Swanson, Erin Skaar at CARE, Emily Fanjoy, volunteer coordinator for the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center, County Commissioner Bill Baertlein and a Deborah Mather, a volunteer at Til-

lamook regional Food Bank, a volunteer recruitment fair will be held at Tillamook Bay Community College on Thursday Oct. 8 from 1 to 6 p.m.

This will give the general public an opportunity find out about all the nonprofits in Tillamook County and where their interests and capabilities might be best utilized as a volunteer for a local nonprofit.

“This is an opportunity for the local nonprofits to build awareness about their programs and services,” said organizer Deborah Mather.

“It’s about recruiting volunteers and to simplify the process for larger employers with volunteer programs.”

It is also an opportunity to create inter-organizational awareness among the nonprofits and create more community awareness of needs based resources.

Many of the residents of Tillamook County are retired (approximately 65 percemt or more) with many strong skills that are needed by local nonprofits.

“This event will provide a venue to gather information about as many nonprofits as

possible for these individuals to find an organization that matches their interests,” said Mather. “To find a place to do good work and make a contribution to their community.”

Volunteering has many benefits for the organization as well as the individual as it creates connections and compassion for a cause or causes. For a small rural county, Tillamook boasts some of the most successful and active nonprofit organizations, which contributes to the overall quality of life in the area.

“We attract good people to the area, and they, in turn, want to give back to the community for the good of the area, but they don’t know where to find the organizations that need volunteers,” said Mather. “This event will assist everyone in making those connections.”

Nonprofit organizations interested in participating in the Volunteer Recruitment Fair should contact Deborah Mather at debbylee43@hotmail.com or Emily Fanjoy at Emily@tcwrc.net or 503842-8294 to reserve a table and for more information.

In order to prohibit growing in exclusive farmlands, that would be left up to the voters.

As it sits right now, potential growers, with a license, would be able to grow in an empty lot located in a residential zone.

Voters will potentially see both issues on the general election ballot in November.

Women’s Club of Manzanita kicks off first club meeting of 2015-2016 The Women’s Club of Manzanita will kick off it’s first monthly meeting of the 2015-2016 year on October 6th at the Pine Grove Community Center. The Community Center is located at 225 Laneda Ave., Manzanita. The meeting will begin with a social time from noon to 12:30 when lunch will be provided featuring Harvest Soups with bread and desert. The Program will be “Making Connections”. This program will be presented by Kimberly Allen and Stacy Nuttal.

The program will include some fun participatory team games that will not require you to be physical.

The Club meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month, October through May beginning at the same time (noon) each month. Anyone interested in joining our Club may join us as our lunchen guest at any of the meetings including our first on October 6th.

Women’s Club of Manzanita started in the 1920’s by a small number of women living in Manzanita when life was much more isolated

and traveling in the mud and rain much more difficult. They focused on the social aspects of coming together and eventually , as women often do, helping others in the community.

Although, very surprising the Club still exists today and actually the Club’s mission and purpose appears to be quite similiar. The Club provides an opportunity for members to meet and become better acquianted with each other and others in the Community. We demonstrate an atmosphere of friendliness, good will, and provide helpful information. We also work together on fund raising events to promote and contribute to charitable and civic causes including scholarships and leadership training for young women at Neahkahnie High School. Currently our membership consists of a wide variety of women with different ages, personal and professional backgrounds and many different talents and interests.

Don’t be Toast: Practical Steps to Prepare for the Big One

By Dr. Margaret Steele, Emergency Volunteer Corps, Medical Reserves If you’ve read the recent New Yorker article about the predicted Cascadia earthquake and tsunami, you probably saw the memorable quote from a FEMA official about the aftermath: “Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.” Dave Dillon’s article in this issue clarifies that preparing for such a disaster will increase our likelihood of surviving it.

Here are some specific steps you can take to increase your preparedness.

1. Realize that there are actually two disasters, the earthquake and the tsunami.

If you live, work, shop or play in the tsunami zone, there’s only one thing to know – get up and out of the way of the onrushing water.

2. Learn whether or not you’re in the tsunami zone (http://nvs.nanoos.org/TsunamiEvac). You can enter your address on this site and find out if you’re in a tsunami inundation zone. If you are, learn and practice your evacuation route. Make a small, easy to carry go bag with the absolute necessities.

Be sure you can actually carry it (a backpack may be best, or maybe a small wheeled suitcase.) Keep the go bag out where you can find it instantly even in the dark. Keep a pair of sturdy shoes with socks by your bed, along with a flashlight.

You will have only a very few minutes to get out and UP away from the oncoming wave.

For everything else you need, consider storing your supplies with a friend

who lives outside the inundation zone, but within walking distance for you.

3. If you are NOT in the inundation zone, and if your home is stable enough to stay in, DO NOT evacuate! Help your neighbors if you can.

Prepare yourself to shelter in place. Things to consider: • The electrical grid will fail. Have several portable light sources (flashlights, lanterns) as well as a generator, if possible. Gasoline will be in short supply, though, so the generator won’t be useful indefinitely.

• Glass will break. Be prepared with tarps and plywood to cover your broken windows.

• If you have camping equipment (tents, sleeping bags, camp stove) keep it in a place you can get to if your home is badly damaged.

• Anything unsecured in your home will move and fall. Secure your bookshelves, strap your water heater, consider cupboard locks.

• Your propane/gas lines will likely be damaged.

Have a tool to turn off your gas at the street or propane tank, and know how to use it.

• If your house isn’t bolted to the foundation, have that done if you can. (Cost $2000-4000) • Bridges and roads will fail. Don’t expect to drive anywhere. Think about all the highway bridges on 101, the only Oregon Coast NorthSouth artery. Don’t expect to get to a hospital or pharmacy in Tillamook, Seaside or Portland.

• Learn First Aid! Store medical supplies in a place in your home least likely to be turned to rubble. Include as large a stockpile of your

prescription medications as you can. Rotate these meds regularly. Be sure to have an extra pair of glasses (or two) if you wear them.

• After earthquakes, fires are very common. Keep a fire extinguisher in an accessible place, and know how to use it.

• Water and sewer pipes will be damaged in the earthquake. Store water (1 gallon per day per person) accessibly. Learn how to deal with human waste. (link to EVC material online) Recovery from a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami will be painfully slow. On the coast, we can expect at least 3-6 months without electricity, 1-3 years without water or sewer systems, and 3 or more years without hospitals. Very few of us will be prepared to be self-sufficient for that long. There will clearly be a need to evacuate, and we hope that within a month of the event there will be Federal help available to do so. But the I-5 corridor itself, with its much larger population, will most likely receive help before the more sparsely populated coast.

So be prepared to be selfsufficient with shelter, water, food, sewage management, and medical supplies (including needed medications) for at least 30 days.

We in the Nehalem Bay area are fortunate to live in one of the most prepared communities in Oregon.

The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay has been working together since 2008 to educate the community, train, and plan for this nearly unimaginable disaster.

Please join us! (www.evcnb. org)

The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay will host a workshop on what local individuals and families should pack in their emergency “Go Bags” Monday, Sep. 28, from noon to 2 p.m. at the fire station in Bayside Gardens. Larry Wiedenhoft and Tim Anderson will lead the class, which will cover: What are the most important things to have in a Go Bag? How long should someone plan to be away from home? Where is the best place to store a Go Bag? Should Go Bags be taken to assembly sites or shelter? What is the difference between “shelter-in-place” supplies and those needed in a Go Bag Wiedenhoft and Anderson invite people who already have Go Bags to come to the class and learn what’s new.

Pirates never surrender in lopsided home loss to 4A Cardinals, 49-16

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net The scoreboard told one story Friday night.

The Neah-Kah-Nie coach saw something more.

According to the coach, Scott Ross, the score didn’t tell the complete story Friday when the 4A Cardinals handed the Pirates a 49-16 loss at home.

“Our kids didn’t give up,” Ross said. “They really improved over last week. They battled to the end. They have a lot of pride and they just keep fighting.”

The Pirates were on the verge of being shut out at home before they were able to come up with two touchdowns in the final five minutes of the game.

“We are just 22 kids, so after a while we were starting to wear down a little bit,” he said. “Our kids, they battled. They worked hard.

“It is about execution for us right now,” he added.

After the game, he told the players that execution was the difference. The Cardinals just executed better – but he said that except for some crucial mistakes and penalties, he thought they had played well against the Cards.

“They are pretty solid,” Ross said about the team that handed the Pirates the second loss of the season.

Omar Arena came up with one interception and almost picked off a second one. “That was our first of the year,” Ross said. “He had a chance (for the second interception). If he would have been a little more aggressive, he would have had it.” Ross added that Arena had to wrestle with a receiver for the first interception.

The team is still learning, the coach added. “It is just execution.

Execution. Execution.”

One play that seemed to continuously hurt the Pirates was when the Cards went into their bag of tricks.

Corbett running back Devin Weien connected on several pass option plays for big gains against the Neah-Kah-Nie defense.

“That halfback pass – they hurt us with that. Then they did the little ‘Tim Tebow’ jump pass down there at the end zone. That is just the need for our kids to make the right read,” Ross said.

“A lot of times, we were reading run, and it was a play action pass so we were out of alignment.”

After scoring once in the first quarter, the Cardinals added three more to take a 27-0 halftime lead.

One of those plays where the Pirates were out of alignment was on a fourth down play where Weien hit Adam Conrad in the end zone on a fourth-and-four play with 10:14 left in the fourth quarter. With a two-point conversion, the Cards had a 35-0 lead.

On the next series, the Pirates moved down to the nine-yard line before mistakes moved them back and turned the ball over on downs at the 11-yard line. The Pirate defense stopped the Cards, forcing the visitors to punt.

Quarterback Max Halverson sparked the offense with a nineyard gain, then Willie Davidson broke free for a score from near midfield. Halverson scrambled for the two-point conversion, cutting the lead to 35-8.

Corbett’s Wyatt Miller ran the kickoff down the left sideline to make the score 43-8 after they added the conversion.

“I hate kickoff returns. That was just a breakdown in coverage. The kid came over to me after the play and told me ‘it was my fault.’ So he knew the mistake that he had made. Let’s just hope he learns from that and doesn’t do it again.

“We don’t give up many kickoff returns here. That is only the second one I can remember,” the coach said.

The Cardinals scored again after Neah-Kah-Nie fumbled on the first play of the next series. Austin Arnold ran in for the score from the 17-yard line on the first play.

Neah-Kah-Nie’s Garrett Meyer sacked the quarterback on the two-point conversion, leaving the score at 49-8.

On the next series, Halverson took the ball and led the Pirates down the field, scoring from 22

FISHING REPORT KILCHIS RIVER: cutthroat Cutthroat fishing should be fair. Sea-run cutthroat should be available in good numbers in tidewater areas and are moving to upstream areas. Water levels are low and clear so use very light gear. Paving at the entrance to Parks Landing boat launch was completed recently and the boat ramp is accessible. However, repairs to concrete planks in the boat ramp are scheduled to occur between in mid-September.

Access to the boat ramp be restricted during the work.

NEHALEM RIVER: Chinook, cutthroat, coho Fishing for Chinook is fair to good. Some hatchery coho are being caught also. Water temperatures are warm, so incoming tides may produce the best bites as cooler ocean water pushes in. Fish are available in the lower bay up to Nehalem, with increasing numbers of fish moving to upper tidewater areas. Troll herring or spinners near the bottom, or bobber fish in upper tidewater.

Sea-run cutthroat can be caught throughout the bay and tidewater areas, and further upstream. Troll or cast small lures or flies along the channel margins or in areas of cover, such as logs or woody debris.

The Nehalem Bay and River is closed to the retention of wild (non-finclipped) coho salmon this year.

NESTUCCA RIVER & THREE RIVERS: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Fall Chinook fishing is fair and improving in the bay. Trolling herring near the mouth is producing fish, with bobber/bait and spinners producing near Pacific City. Steelhead fishing is slow. Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair to good.

Three Rivers is closed to all fishing downstream of the hatchery. The bay and tidewater below Cloverdale will be open to the retention of wild coho on Sundays and Mondays only until Nov 2. One adult wild coho per season may be kept.

TILLAMOOK BAY: Chinook, coho Fishing for Chinook and hatchery coho is fair to good.

Trolling herring or spinners are the two most popular techniques. Casting spinners can be productive at times in some

yards with 2:33 left in the game.

Halverson added the conversion for a 49-16 score on the board.

The Pirates lost the services of quarterback Halverson for a while in the second half. “The kid plays hard. Last week, we pulled him out at the start of the fourth quarter because he was exhausted.

He’s a tough kid.

“Tonight, he got a little bit of a ding in the ribs. But, he went back in.

His departure stalled a Pirate drive deep in the the Cards’ red zone in the second half.

On one series, the Pirates had the ball inside the Corbett oneyard line, but mistakes pushed them back. On another, the Pirates lost a fumble.

“One of the reasons we are playing this 3A/4A preseason is that we are trying to get ready for the physicality of our league.

“We are getting better. We played a lot better this week than we did last week,” he said. “We just gave up too many big plays.

Those last three or four touchdowns we had our JV trying to get some time in.”

The one thing that really upset Ross and the coach staff was right after Neah-Kah-Nie scored its first touchdown, the Cards came back with a kickoff return for a score.

He praised Greg Elligsen and Meyer for their play on the defensive side of the ball. “They are our two ‘ranger rovers’ (outside linebackers). Arena improved quite a bit.” He also praised the play of Ivan Davidson.

“We had our share of mistakes, but those kids played a pretty solid game,” Ross said.

“Overall, even though the score doesn’t indicate it, I thought it was a pretty good game from our kids.

“Take away three or four big plays and .... who knows,” the coach added.

The Pirates play at Warrenton Friday at 7 p.m.next week, the Pirates travel to play 3A Warrenton, who buried Willamina by a 32-2 margin Friday. The Warriors (1-1) Headlight Herald photo / Brad Mosher lost to Vernonia by a 58-0 score in the season opener for the Warriors. Neah-Kah-Nie quarterback Max Halverson (11) breaks a long gain during the game against Corbett Friday. The 49-16 loss to the 4A Cardinals dropped the Pirates to 0-2 for the season, Neah-Kah-Nie travels to Warrenton Friday for a 7 p.m. game against the 1-1 Warriors. of the mid-bay channels. The bay will be open to wild coho

retention (1 adult wild coho for the season) on Fridays and Saturdays only, Sept. 18 – Oct. 31.

TRASK RIVER: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Fall Chinook are available in tidewater in increasing numbers. A few hatchery coho are making their way through tidewater and into the lower river also. An occasional summer steelhead is still being caught. Fishing for cutthroat trout is fair to good. The hatchery hole area is closed to all fishing through Oct. 15. Anglers are reminded that the Dam Hole (near MP 7 on Trask River Road) is closed through November.

TIDAL CHART Anglers who catch a steelhead or salmon with numbered tag(s) are encouraged to report catch information via the internet or by calling ODFW at 503-842-2741 and asking for Derek Wiley. All live tagged fish that are not legal to retain or are voluntarily not kept should be released quickly and unharmed with tags intact.

WILSON RIVER: steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Summer steelhead fishing is slow. Fishing for cutthroat trout should be fair. Use lighter gear for best results as the water is extremely low and clear. Fall Chinook angling in tidewater is slow as relatively few fish are present yet.

The turning of the season is heralded by our mighty salmon

The Golightly Gourmet Dana Zia

T

he salmon is the profound and enduring symbol of the Northwest that reminds us of the turning of the seasons. Every year, at about this time, as the fall snap comes into the air and the rains return, the salmon forge upstream on their hero’s journey to spawn in our rivers and streams. Some of them have swam thousands of miles just like their ancestors have for millions of years.

I’m not joking when I say millions as it is figured that our pacific salmon have been around for 4-6 million years! How incredible is that!?!

Salmon are an important part of our diet, here in our food happy home. Hubby is a fanatic fisherman that loves to bring home these magnificent fish for us to dine on. We feel humbled and incredibly lucky to have abundant access to such a noble food right here in our back yard. Oh and it is so good and so good for us!

I love experimenting with many different recipes to honor this fish that is the backbone of many cultures.

There is one recipe that I love to cook this time of year when the blackberries are plumb and juicy on the vine. It is a nice blending of the seasons as summer fades into fall. It is grilled cumin marinated salmon with blackberry sauce. Oh my…..is it really wonderful.

Ok, I’m going to share this recipe with you but you must pinky promise me not to use it on farmed salmon.

Please. Farmed salmon are not only unhealthy to eat but they are threatening our wild runs and polluting our oceans. On top of that, it takes 2,162,000 tons of fish taken from the oceans to produce 871,200 tons of farmed salmon. Not a good trade!

Here’s the corker that should get everyone’s attention, all of them are dyed.

Yup, a farmed salmon’s flesh is naturally gray because they do not have access to eat their natural foods, so the farms feed red dye to the salmon right before harvesting them. This process of farming creates a fish that is low in omega 3s and is not a healthy food to eat. Kinda like the fast food of salmon that is harmful to our environment. Farmed fish is commonly called “Atlantic Salmon” and is easy to tell at the market as it is a much lighter pink color.

Not surprisingly, this difference means a lot in the taste. Chefs around the country rate wild salmon far superior to farmed. A recent taste test scored farmed salmon at 4.83 out of 10, while wild salmon rated 9.7.

By eating wild salmon, you are giving your body and mouth something great, getting omega 3s, (that which we all seek), help to save the wild runs and the oceans clean plus supports our local fisherman. Now that’s a great deal!

Remember, vote with your dollar and ask for wild salmon. I know this is an old rant but the amount salmon being farmed is escalating and this is only happening because we are buying them. Ok, I’m done preaching, let’s get on with the fun. Here is the recipe for you in all its glory.

Respectfully enjoy the deliciousness of this venerable fish from our beautiful oceans and rivers.

Cumin chipotle salmon with blackberry sauce This serves 6-8 people, depending on appetite and size of the fish steak.

Zest of one lime Juice of one lime 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, minced fine ¼ - ½ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder Dash of salt and pepper

6 large salmon steaks, 6-8 ounces each, 1 inch thick Marinade ¼ cup of olive oil Juice of 2 limes 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder (optional) 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika or sweet paprika 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, minced fine 1 tablespoon of ground cumin 2 teaspoons of kosher salt 2 tablespoons of maple syrup 3-6 cloves of garlic, minced

Mix up all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and drop the steaks in there and roll around in the marinade. Set in the fridge to wait for its shining moment on the grill, about 20 minutes. Zest the lime and put in a small sauce pan then squeeze the lime juice and butter or oil into it. Set on a burner at medium heat and melt the butter/ oil. When it is melted, add the honey and the chipotle powder stir together till well blended, then add the blackberries. Stir it up this fragrant mix and simmer over the medium heat for about 5 minutes till the blackberries have lost their form and you have a fine sauce. Add the salt and pepper, taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your taste. Let the sauce slightly cool

Blackberry sauce 2 cups of blackberries, fresh or frozen 1 tablespoon of honey 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or butter

then squish it through a sieve with a rubber spatula to remove the seeds. Put it back in the sauce pan and keep it on low till the salmon is done.

Time to fire up the grill! Lightly oil your racks then heat your grill on high till it is nice a hot. Take your fish steaks out of the marinade, discarding the marinade, then place the salmon steaks on the hot grill.

Cook about 5-6 minutes on each side with the lid shut till just opaque in the center.

Don’t overcook or fuss to much with them or they can fall apart. I like to take my salmon off the grill when it is still slightly raw in the center and let it rest 5 mins. It will continue to cook and be perfectly done that way. Ladle a puddle of the sauce in the middle of a plate and nest the salmon steak in the puddle. (If you put a pile of mashed potatoes on the plate first it is even better!)

Top the steak with a bit more sauce and a sprig of rosemary. After all, making this beautiful is honoring this timeless fish.

Rinehart Clinic to participate in Innovation Consultancy Rinehart Clinic has some exciting news to announce, as Keri Scott and Terra Marzano were recently selected to participate in the Californiabased Center for Care Innovation’s Catalyst Program.

In June, the pair applied for a grant aiming to “create a network of trained innovators who can introduce and champion innovation within their own organizations, and help other safety net organizations discover new ways to advance their work.” This will be the third cohort of ‘Innovation Catalysts’ developed by the grant, which is funded in part

by Kaiser Permanente and the Blue Shield of California Foundation.

With guidance from the Innovation Consultancy at Kaiser Permanente and experts from the Center for Care Innovation, Keri and Terra, along with other grant winners in California and Oregon, will participate in an intensive 3-day training where they will learn, digest, and practice a number of design and innovation skills geared specifically to health care safety net clinics. Following the training, Keri and Terra will work with design coaches monthly as

they identify, refine and address a problem – or, “innovation opportunity” – affecting the health of our community.

Ultimately, Keri and Terra will bring their work to the entire Rinehart team, enlisting the skills and expertise of staff and volunteers in order to further enhance and transform our care.

Rinehart Clinic staff and Board are honored to be among the first cohort in Oregon to participate in the Catalyst program and we’re excited to move forward, transforming health care one Terra Marzano, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Keri Scott, Director of Quality at the Rinehart Clinic will attend a three-day training at the Center for Care Innovation’s Catalyst Program to learn ways to bring innovainnovative step at a time. tion and new ideas to transform health care at the Clinic.
