Gene Schmuck would be proud. The memorial foundation that bears his name will, the weekend of May 17-19, surpass the $1 million mark in money raised during the 26th annual Manzanita Open Golf Tournament. It’s a big deal considering the amount raised has been passed on to nonprofits and charitable organizations in north Tillamook County since the Schmuck Foundation’s inception in 1997. That was the year the Manzanita Open became more than just a weekend for golfers to get together to enjoy a round of golf, it became the principal fundraising event for the newly created foundation. In talking to members of the Schmuck Foundation board it doesn’t take long for the conversation turn to the foundation’s namesake, Gene Schmuck.

NCRD broken into and vandalized
Employees arriving to work at 6:00 a.m., Friday morning, April 12, at the North County Recreation District in Nehalem discovered the main building had been broken into sometime during the night and vandalized. A budget meeting held at NCRD wrapped up about 9:30 p.m. the evening before, said general manager Peter Nunn, “So the break-in occurred sometime between 9:30 and 6:00.” The vandal(s) gained access by breaking a window of the cardio room of the fitness center and moved down the hallway breaking the window of the weight room door and breaking off the handle to the door. The fitness center office adjacent to the weight room was also broken into and a laptop computer was taken. Upstairs, another laptop was taken from the general manager’s office and a projector damaged. A fire extinguisher was discharged leaving a powdery white coating on the hallway floors and other areas.

All systems are go for the upcoming 2013 Manzanita Farmers Market, but a change of venue is a distinct possibility the year after. “We’ve always looked at the possibility of moving the market from its present site,” said Laura Swanson, market manager. “The main thing is growth. We cannot grow beyond 35 booths where we currently are, though the amenities are great.” Entering it seventh year, the Manzanita Farmers Market has always been staged at the corner of Fifth St. and Laneda Ave., utilizing the parking lot

When Walt and Kay Covert sold their real estate office to Farzahn Kamali, there was concern about the future of the farmers market at that site, but those fears were soon alleviated by Kamali, who, like the Coverts, is a big fan of the community-wide event.

Dragon boat returns to Nehalem Bay The newly formed Nehalem Bay dragon boat team looks forward to the upcoming paddling season
By Debbie Gardiner-Cline For the Citizen
Last year, Char von Ahlefeld dreamed of spending her summers paddling a dragon boat on the Nehalem Bay. After a year of work involving a lot of people, Char’s dream came true with the launch of a dragon boat at the Nehalem Bay boat dock on Saturday, April 6. Asked why she started the team, von Ahlefeld said, “I live in Manzanita during the summer months, and I missed not going out each week with my Wasabi team members and paddling. I
started talking to the members of the padding club in Portland about the possibility of starting a team in Nehalem, and found several people were supportive of the idea.” Last September, Wasabi club members Cindy and Mark Hickman brought a dragon boat to Nehalem for a one-day trial and the community support was amazing. Very quickly over 60 residents from Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler and Rockaway expressed an interest in joining the team. Wasabi said they would loan a boat, paddles and life jackets to the Nehalem team, but several things had to happen before the boat could come. Von Ahlefeld now had her work cut out for her. During the winter months, Connie Flesuras, head coach of Wasabi, taught coaches clinics for several paddling clubs in Oregon. Along with von Ahlefeld, TideRunners team

and guidance in establishing the team was Larry LaMarsh, Cindy and Mark Hickman, and Martha Atteridge. The next issue that had to be resolved was where to keep the 47-foot dragon boat on the bay. Sue Jelineo attained rock-star status with the team when she graciously offered to keep the boat at her private dock. “Without Sue’s dock, we couldn’t go forward, and I’m so delighted Sue joined the team,” said von Ahlefeld. About 40 people gathered Saturday morning in downtown Nehalem to wait for the boat to arrive, a boat with 12 benches and room for 24 paddlers, plus a caller and steers person. The boat weighs 1,200 pounds empty, and approximately 4,700 pounds when paddlers are aboard. The weather cooperated for the most part. At 9:30
it was raining with strong winds. With the boat was due to arrive at about 10:30, the rain stopped and the sun started to peak through the clouds at 9:45, while Miriam Rogers educated the group on basic boat operations and how to paddle. The boat was launched at the Nehalem Bay boat dock with a round of applause and loud cheering. Steering the boat through heavy winddriven waves was certified steers person Mary Gallagher, who guided the fully loaded boat on its maiden voyage upstream. Others took turns steering the boat as they toured the Nehalem Bay in dry conditions. Stacy Nuttall moved to Manzanita in 2011, and joined the TideRunners team last year. “This was my first experience paddling and it was a total blast. I was
unprepared for the great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed my first day of paddling. The camaraderie among the paddlers was a highlight for me, and the shared enthusiasm was exhilarating,” said Nuttall. “Many thanks to Char and Wasabi for the wonderful gift they have given to this community.” Von Ahlefeld and Rogers have traveled internationally paddling dragon boats. They said the highlight of their paddling travels was in 2004 in South Africa, when they were on a team that won a gold medal. Asked if the South Africa trip was a better experience than having a dragon boat on Nehalem Bay, von Ahlefeld replied, “Hmm, I will have to get back to you on that one.” Her next goal is to establish a high school paddling team on the north coast. Weather permitting, this year’s paddling season will be April through October. In April, the boat will be going out every Saturday at 9 a.m. from the public dock in downtown Nehalem. In May, the boat will also be going out every Wednesday evening at 6 p.m., and more times may be added for the summer months. The dragon boat and the TideRunners team will also be in the Manzanita 4th of July parade this year.

classroom training that included instruction for electric and hybrid automobiles, something that is becoming an industry standard. NBFR District board member Jack Allen loaned his electric vehicle so that firefighters could familiarize themselves with its instrumentation. Prior to the class, Division Chief Scott Mullen conducted a pre-test in which firefighters were asked 24 questions about electric and hybrid vehicles with volunteers getting the answer wrong on 10 to 12 questions. Following the hands-on exercise with Allen’s vehicle, the results were much better with firefighter missing only two or three questions. Rick Scovel, owner of Scovel’s Service Center & Towing, donated six vehicles to the fire district for training purposes, after which the vehicles will be picked up and recycled by Scovel. A “win-win for everyone,” commented Mullen.
The training exercise incorporated the use of a dummy for a more realistic touch.

Out of an illness comes a writing career By Dave Fisher The Citizen
It began one sentence a day and ended up a novel. A high school teacher on hiatus, she says on her blog, Holly Lorincz recently finished her first book, Smart Mouth, A Novel, and anticipates finishing her second, The Same River, Twice, in the next six months. Lorincz began work on Smart Mouth in September 2010 as the former Neah-KahNie High School teacher was still coming to grips with a life altering health issue that left her laid up in bed, wondering what the future held for her and whether or not she would ever get her energy back. The award-winning teacher and speaker was knocked off her feet by, what she calls, “a mean little virus” she contracted from a student of hers while at NeahKah-Nie. More commonly

Though no longer an instructor at NKN where she taught high school language arts for 15 years while at the same time coached an award-winning speech and debate team, the 40-something
Lorincz still considers herself a teacher. However, with the successful completion of her first novel and a leg up on her second, safe to say she has reinvented herself. While a sense of normalcy has returned to her life and no longer sapped of her energy, she still finds the need to pace herself. So far, Lorincz has sold over 100 books electronically of Smart Mouth, a number she finds surprising. “I sold books to some people I don’t even know…that was shocking,” she says. Next up is a limited print run of her book as she has received an over 100 additional requests for a hard copy. Though Smart Mouth, A Novel focuses on the trials and tribulations of a young female teacher at the fictional Oceanside High School, the tale is by no means autobiographical, says Lorincz, though she does draw on some of her own ex-
periences and the characters in the book have traits of people she knows. “Addy (the main character) is not like me at all. She’s shy, it’s almost debilitating, and I am not shy,” says Lorincz. “There’s a Brigid Jones feel to her…she’s a little bit clumsy, has a hard time sticking up for herself and gets pushed around by her boyfriend, school administrators and even her students.” Addy, like Lorincz once did, coaches the school’s debate team, which is problematic. “In order for her to find their voices, she has to find hers first,” says Lorincz, noting that most of the book is told from Addy’s point of view. While at NKN, Lorincz’s speech and debate team brought home the state championship title for Oregon Speech and Debate twice, while seven of her
kids became state champs in their individual events. “That’s what I really like to brag about,” says Lorincz, ever the teacher, who created the speech and debate team at Neah-Kah-Nie High, giving fringe kids an opportunity to use their voices. “I love working with teenagers, they’re so bright and unafraid to try new things.” So how does Addy make out with her students at Oceanside High? Lorincz isn’t giving away the ending. Over 25,000 words into The Same River, Twice, her second effort, Lorincz noted that it is a darker tale revolving around guilt, mental health issues and drownings. Enthralled with her current novel, Lorincz says she thinks about it all the time, even while taking a shower or lying in bed. Meanwhile, she has

It’s a dream job; we really hit it off. He has a ton of clients and is training me in the business. I can’t imagine being this lucky having a job like this in Manzanita.” It’s the latest twist in the life of the self-described nerd, the kind of twists that make for a good book. “Who knew a major illness could be so lucky?” she asks.

May will be a watershed month as NCRD decides how to proceed with new pool By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Two critical meetings in May could very well dictate whether the North County Recreation District board will stick with its plans for a new four-lane pool or possibly opt to build a larger six-lane pool. In a worse case scenario, it could be that board members find themselves back at the drawing board. It depends in large part on the results of the feasibility plan for raising upwards of $3$4 million from private sources to go toward the cost of a new
pool. At a special board meeting scheduled Thursday evening, May 2, at 6 p.m., John Donovan of Portland-based Metropolitan Group will present his findings of a feasibility study conducted by his firm. The report will include the results of over a dozen interviews of people both locally and from other areas that have been involved with these types of fundraising efforts. Just as the name of the report implies, it will answer whether or not is it feasible for the recreation district to proceed with fundraising plans for a new
pool. Worse case, says NCRD general manager Peter Nunn, it may be a situation where the board finds out it is being “too optimistic” and has to rethink its strategy. Also on the agenda for May 2, is the roll-out of a draft conceptual design for the proposed four-lane pool, along with narratives regarding the possibility of solar heating and water treatment options. The most recent cost estimates provided by pool architect Carl Sherwood show a four-lane pool costing $5.3 million and a six lane one running $5.7 million.
“The cost of the four-lane pool is up considerably,” said Nunn, “reducing the gap between the cost of a four-lane pool and a six-lane pool, which reopens the discussion as to whether we proceed with a four or possibly a six-lane pool.” In its Enterprise Plan for a new pool presented to the public nearly a year ago, NCRD calculated the cost of a new pool between $5.5 and $6 million. A week later at its regularly scheduled meeting on May 9, at 7 p.m., the board is expected to further discuss what it learned at its previous meeting and decide whether to stay the course with the construction of a new four-lane pool or explore other options. Coupled with that will be a decision whether or not to proceed with a fundraising campaign based on the feasibility study.
“Surely, if construction of a four-lane pool is not feasible, the fundraising campaign would not go forward at this time,” said Nunn. Prior to discussion of the pool, a public hearing will be held on the proposed 2013-14 budget. In addition, the board will tackle a draft proposal of a five-year local option tax levy to appear on the November ballot. A similar measure, which expires next year, was approved by voters in November 2008 by a narrow margin. The measure provided additional operating funds for NCRD at a tax rate of $.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value for those owning property within the district. In the course of five years, the district will have set aside $1 million earmarked for a new pool. If another five-year tax levy is approved, the plan is to

save another $1 million towards the cost of a new pool. “If there’s no renewal of the local option tax, there’s not going to be a new pool,” Nunn says bluntly. “But I think this should be viewed as a referendum on the district and not just the pool. There’s so much more that we do.” Nunn points to improvements to the fitness center, gymnasium and auditorium as visible signs of how far NCRD has come since its fiscal crisis five years ago. “We have demonstrated that we are organized and have controlled costs while improving the facilities and planning for future capital investment.” The meetings on May 2 and 9 will be held at the North County Recreation District in Nehalem and are open to the public.

The Nehalem River is the lifeblood of the little towns of Wheeler and Nehalem. So a distressing series of missteps that led to a dredging fiasco in the river is having far-reaching consequences. The Port of Nehalem applied to the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Oregon Dept. of State Lands in November 2011 for required permits to dredge the Wheeler waterfront. This project was identified as the fourth highest county priority by Campbell, quietly notified the the Tillamook County Comagencies that it was dropping missioners because impinging mudflats means that Wheeler has Wheeler from the dredging project because “the cost to continue continuously had to extend its was deemed to expensive and docks further into the Nehalem provided no realistic cost-benefit River, thus encroaching on the navigation channel.

for additional efforts to disperse the dredge island, ignoring the effect this would have on downstream communities, especially Wheeler. Neither considered where the spoils would ultimately settle. The Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), though they reviewed the dredging application, did not propose any conditions that would have effectively protected the Nehalem River. Then there is the financial angle. Further investigation showed that the Port told the City of Nehalem that the Deer Island Slough part of the project would be funded entirely with Port monies. Dale Stockton, who is Port of Nehalem Commission President and Nehalem City Council President, led the discussion. Nehalem initially hoped for a State Marine Board grant to aid in the city’s cost for the dredging, but once the Marine Board notified the city there were unlikely to be funds, the Port assured the city that the Port would bear the cost. City of Nehalem Minutes twice reiterates this assertion by Dale Stockton, speaking for the Port; in November 2012 and December 2012. Yet, back in 2011, the Port’s application specified that the City of Nehalem would help pay for the dredging. So Wheeler’s urgently-needed dredging was never done, and there is a dredge island in the Nehalem River that has ruined a fine fishing spot. Most perplexing is the preferential treatment the City of Nehalem received at the Port’s hands, while Wheeler was dropped from the project. Why? The dredge island can no longer be seen, but it is still there.
The initial outcry prompted DSL and the Port of Nehalem to flatten the pile. As of March 12, ODFW reported that the dredge pile is 30-40 yards in diameter, rising from a twentyfoot depth to an eight-foot depth. It has not dispersed. Continued pressure from DSL to the Port of Nehalem to disperse the pile is worrisome to Wheeler residents, who fear the dredge spoils will simply settle downstream a little ways and add to the sediment already clogging Wheeler’s waterfront. The aftermath of this fiasco continues. The project’s DSL permit will remain open and active to mid-November. The high cost of permitting is beyond the means of small cities and waterfront businesses, as is clear from figures cited here. The Port of Nehalem should therefore restore the dredging of Wheeler’s waterfront that was originally the centerpiece of the Port’s application, and complete it sometime during the fall in-water work window. This would be much more cost effective for both the agencies and for Wheeler, which would otherwise have to pay $60,000 or more for a new application, as well as wait at least a year for the agency approvals. Wheeler residents are also requesting DSL to require that the dredge spoils be removed from the river and taken to an appropriate upland location. This should have been done originally. This debacle certainly raises more questions than answers (so far) about cronyism at the Port of Nehalem. It should prompt scrutiny of the Port’s mission, financial management and preferential treatment of Nehalem over Wheeler.

attendance at my 90th birthday celebration. I can only show my appreciation by saying it was a great honor for me, and to all of you good people, who made it such a big success, may the blessings of God

ready on the books. The reasons people needed the laws was to protect them from themselves, from over indulging with liquor and wasting money in gambling. What is happening right now is that in many states the government is in the booze business and everybody has a lottery of some kind. Pot smoking has been illegal for as long as anyone can remember, but now states are getting in the business. Again, the reasons for it all being illegal was to protect people from getting goofy and hurting someone else or themselves while drifting with the clouds. An article in the daily paper tells of the steps being taken to get people to quit smoking. Being someone who managed to stop, I am qualified to talk about what it takes to make that happen.

kinds of therapy, it was a doctor telling me that if I didn’t quit I would die pretty darn soon. Actually this being without smoke is a pretty good way of life. I don’t have that little cough that seemed to be with me all the time. I am not the least bit unhappy with the nosmoking policy in public places. I remember when I called bingo in a hall where a lot of people smoked. My clothes smelled like I had just cleaned a furnace or scrubbed a fish smoker. I was a pack a day smoker except when I was having fun and then it was two packs. At the prices I see today I am saving more than a couple thousand bucks a year.

process to quit smoking. Unfortunately, the legislators of those states have used those funds for other purposes. They probably used it to finance “Brew Fests,” or “Wine Fests,” where folks can find other ways to get goofy. Maybe they can have a “Pot Fest,” to promote their newest funding source. I don’t hear of anyone contesting traffic or nuisance laws. Zoning and building laws are there to protect our investments and our personal lives. Perhaps we need to have “Living Fests,” where people can celebrate a safe and sane way of living. Just hope they don’t come up with a tax on something like that. Maybe there should be a law against having bad habits that would be enforced by people who have a habit of helping people with problems.

Upcoming Nehalem timber sale to gross $658,000 For the Citizen
Brent Keller, representing Mason, Bruce & Girard, Timber Consultants, attended the April 8 meeting of Nehalem’s city council to report that Hampton Lumber will be ready to proceed with a timber harvest in the next month or so. He estimated the total value of the city’s timber sale at about $658,000 gross, adding that the city’s payment to Mason, Bruce & Girard includes reforestation of the logged area. Keller also reported receiving a proposal for a reciprocal road maintenance agreement with

She did her internship in Rochester, Minnesota, and then returned to Wheeler where she joined The Rinehart Clinic in 1942, where she practiced for over 40 years. Dr. White saw patients well into her 80s. “She listened to people,” said daughter Patty Rinehart. “It made it difficult for her after she retired to go out as people would tell her their stories and explain ailments at the bank, post office or grocery store wherever she went. She was honored and always took the time to listen.” During her medical

Longview Timber Corp., which council members approved. Longview Timber had also proposed a tailhold agreement with the city, (to anchor a skyline) for their harvest unit scheduled to begin in June, 2013, with F & B Logging as contractor for the operation. Keller recommended a case-by-case basis for any tailhold agreement. Council members discussed and approved a tailhold agreement with Longview Timber. Council members received a packet of proposed plans, options and information for a new city hall, from Toni Pinkston of Pacific Mobile. Pinkston asked
that the mayor and council members go over everything thoroughly, study it, and get their questions together. “When you’re ready,” she said, “I’ll come back and answer all the questions.” Looking at the hefty packet, one council member commented, “It appears we have a lot of homework to do.” Reporting on the Charter Communications Franchise agreement, which has been an ongoing problem for some time, City Manager Dale Shafer reported that two cities remain who haven’t yet paid Nehalem for their share of the Charter
practice, appointments with Dr. White lasted an hour. She set an example for children and the young people of this community, and especially for her children. “Mom said I could do anything,” said Diane. “During college when a professor told me that women didn’t get hired at big eight accounting firms, I was shocked, but my mom said I could do anything, so I did.” Diane worked at a big eight accounting firm for three years. “We were expected to stand on our own,” added Patty. Many of the young girls delivered by Dr. White and then cared for by her during childhood and teen years realized how unique and special it was to have a woman doctor. “She was on ‘doctor time’… mother was always late,” said Diane. The daughters’ memories are of much time spent waiting in the car for their mother as she saw “just one more patient.” Dr. White always took the month of August off for vacation, going to the Tillamook County Fair and a trip to visit her parents in Everett. “But we often had to wait for ‘soand-so’ to have their baby,”
said Patty. “And I think she drove fast all the time to scare us kids,” said Patty. “It kept us quiet.” Diane and Patty were two of six children of Dr. White and Robert E. Rinehart – in 1943 firstborn Robert arrived; 1945 brought Harry (the current Dr. Rinehart); in 1947 the first daughter, Gail, was born; then in 1949, Diane; and 15 months later, in 1950, Patricia (Patty) was born. Finally, the youngest, Cynthia (Cindy) arrived in 1953. The sisters delighted in relating as many stories about their brother, Harry, as they did about their mother. “One time she was really fed up with Harry and Robert and she stopped, kicked them out of the car, told them to walk home and drove off,” said Diane. “She drove just out of sight and then turned around. I think it scared us girls more than it did the boys.” With six children and a large medical practice, Dr. White enlisted the help of a housekeeper in the 1950s. Ethel M. Neketin kept more than the house, she kept order in the Rinehart household for ten years. “We couldn’t pronounce the Russian name Neketim, so she was always Mrs. Ketin, and you didn’t cross her,” said Diane. “She scared the geewhiz out of me,” added Patty. “She did so much for

Franchise negotiations. Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven reported briefly on items of local interest, one being the Rails and Trails proposed project. This project, she said, is to be spread out over 25 years, with the section from Banks to Cochran being in the best condition for development. There may be a feasibility study done on the Salmonberry area. She added that the Tillamook to Wheeler area is also in fair shape, but mentioned that Hwy. 101 is possibly built on the railroad right of way along a narrow part of it.

In 1949, the Rinehart family moved to the old schoolhouse, off Hwy. 101, just before the entrance to Manzanita. “It was the only home big enough for all of us,” said Diane. “I was one month old at the time.” The remodeling at the old SUBSCRIBE TODAY!

Dr. White was very athletic, and was a championship tennis player. She enjoyed skiing, golf and rode horses. She kept her big family active, insisting on regular exercises. “She would get all of us to exercise with Jack LaLanne’s program,” said Diane. She liked to fish, too, and spent many evenings up the river fly-fishing with Dr. Beckwith. Her main hobby especially in her later years
was her rose garden. When she moved to the coast and announced her intentions to grow roses, she was told by many that “you can’t grow roses on the coast.” She set out to prove them wrong. She was constantly fighting pests, bugs and aphids, and then there were the many “experiments” with ways to keep the deer away, but she did grow beautiful roses. “She always said she was the same age as Jack Benny, 39,” said Diane. “We didn’t know how old she was for sure,” added Patty, “until we were going through some photos after our grandmother died and found one that was dated of mother at a few days old, in 1911.” Dr. White was a founding member of the Rinehart Clinic Foundation, which provided funds for indigent care and for scholarships for local students in the health care field. When she passed away in 2003, at the age of 91, there were many heartfelt stories shared at her funeral. Dr. White is remembered fondly and highly regarded for her compassionate care to all in the community.

Smiley Brothers recognized for Coho Salmon Project The Smiley Brothers have yet another reason to smile. This past weekend Mike Ehlen of Manzanita accepted the Outstanding Oregon Tourism Volunteer Award at the annual Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism in Salem. With fellow recipient Bill Campbell, also of Manzanita, out of town it was up to Ehlen to accept the award and deliver an acceptance speech, something he’s not accustomed to. “I’m not the type that generally enjoys getting up in front of 500 people to speak,” said Ehlen, “but, being a dutiful soldier and proud team member, I accepted my fate… I have to say, all in all, it was a fantastic event.” The award recognizes
significant commitment by an individual or a group of individuals exemplifying the positive impact of volunteers on Oregon’s tourism and hospitality industry and on Oregon’s economy. Though Campbell and Ehlen as the principal instigators who spearhead the project each fall were the recipients of the award, Ehlen is quick to point out that it is a community effort that has made the program a success. “When Bill Campbell first told me about this award, I have to admit a feeling of pride and accomplishment for all that everyone has done in this community to make this happen – ODFW, Tillamook Bay Boathouse, Neah-Kah-Nie High School,
our local Rotary, volunteers, and community support of businesses and individuals. This is truly a grassroots and local effort with great representation of our area of the north Oregon coast.” Travel Oregon hosted the annual “Celebrate Our Stars!” kickoff event at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism on Sunday, April14, during which the 2012 Oregon Tourism & Hospitality Industry Achievement Awards were presented. The conference is a once a year opportunity for industry folks on all levels to gather for three days of tourism-related presentations and seminars. Seven industry awards were given at the opening of the conference.
A functional stump at Manzanita City Park
Manzanita’s city park on Pacific Lane has a new chair thanks to Manzanita Public Works employee Ben Paul and his chainsaw. Paul “carved” the chair from a Sitka spruce stump next to the children’s playground area. “This stump has been here as long as I have,” said Paul, who has been employed by the City of Manzanita for seven years and is a water distribution operator. The stump is left over from a tree that was 60 to 75 years old. Paul, it turns out, has a knack for fashioning wood for use in various applications. He operates a small sawmill in a shop next to his home where he mills lumber in his spare time from logs he’s recovered on the beach and along the Nehalem River.

Obituary Stanley Edward Shreeve Stanley Edward Shreeve, 79, passed away at his daughter’s home in North Powder, Oregon on Sunday, April 7, 2013. A memorial service was held April 13, at Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita, with Pastor David Martin and Pastor John Olson officiating. Stan was born February 7, 1934 in Sacramento, California to Edward James and Helen Margaret (Keil) Shreeve. He was raised and educated in Davis, California, graduating from Davis High School where he was named second highest scorer in high school basketball in all of northern California. He attended Sacramento Junior College for two years before enlisting into the U.S. Air Force, in 1955, where he was selected for officer’s training. He served 20 years for his country as a flight navigator and retired from the service
as a major. He married Ruth Eleanor Hoyman in Great Falls, Montana on January 24, 1958. They lived all over the United States during his career in the military. After the military he worked as a Real Estate agent until Stan and Ruth retired to Manzanita, Oregon in 1989. His interests were golfing, fishing and bird and deer hunting. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family. He was also an accomplished carpenter and loved to play card games, especially cribbage. He was an active and faithful member of the Calvary Bible Church, in Manzanita, and also an avid golfer at the Manzanita Golf Course where he was a member of Men’s Club. He was very supportive of his children and grandchildren and they always knew he would be there for them any time they needed. His
“Hopefully I did not embarrass the family too severely,” said Ehlen following the ceremony. “I’ll admit I did have a pretty good time and of course the upshot is that the Smiley Brothers program has more support and recognition than ever. A big shout out to all the folks around here that have, are, and have been involved with this project over the past four years. And guess what… we’re just getting rolling.” Currently under construction, the Smiley Brothers are looking to launch a website in the next month or so, with the help of webmaster Gene Dieken. “It will be under Smileybrothers.org or .com,” said Ehlen. “Not sure which yet.”
gentleness, kindness and compassion were felt by all his family members and his many friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth, of 54 years on June 27, 2012 and by his parents. Survivors include his daughter and son-in-law Sandy and Chris Colton of North Powder, Oregon; daughter, Sara Clemons, and son-in-law, John Fast, of Boise, Idaho; and five grandchildren: Terah, Elise, Peter, Alexandra, and Isaac. He is also survived by sister-in-law Karen Butler of Cannon Beach, Oregon; and sister-in-law and brother-inlaw Jan and Earl Palmeter of Snoqualmie, Washington. Memorial contributions may be made in his memory in lieu of flowers to the Calvary Bible Church of Manzanita in care of Calvary Bible Church, P.O. Box 308, Manzanita, Oregon, 97130.
allow the market to add up to 15 more vendors, something Swanson and farmers market board members are excited about. There are, however, a few logistical issues, which would need to be ironed out first. The fire station is also home to the Manzanita Police Department and just a few feet away is the bus stop for the Tillamook County Transportation District, bringing up the issue of accessibility for local police and the bus. The “biggie,” however, is electrical power to the proposed parking lot site. When Swanson speaks of the amenities available at the Kamali site, one of them is electrical power, which is readily available for vendors. Not so at the city’s parking facility. “Power is the big is-

If the market were to move, it could also entertain the idea of extended hours. Currently, the hours of the public market are from 5 to 8 p.m. with an hour setup time beginning at 4 p.m. Vendors over the years have streamlined the setup of their booths, but, since the market would no longer be utilizing a private lot, it would afford vendors more time and maybe allow the market to stay open an extra hour or two. “It would certainly give us more flexibility,” said Swanson. This year, the market kicks off Friday evening, June 14 and runs through Sept. 20. Again, upwards of 35 vendors will be on hand, with local producers offering plenty of organically grown fresh veg-

Calendar of Events Volunteer Corps annual meeting April 22 The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay will holds its annual meeting at 3 p.m., Monday, April 22, at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita. The meeting is open to the public, and people not yet familiar with local emergency preparedness are encouraged to attend. The principal speaker will be Patrick Corcoran from the Oregon State University SeaGrant Program. He will discuss the recently published Oregon Resilience Plan, which outlines the impact a large Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and subsequent tsunami would have on the state’s infrastructure – roads, electricity, water, sewer, and healthcare facilities. “Restoring those services here on the coast will take much longer than in the valley – months and perhaps years,” said EVCNB spokesman David Dillon. “That’s why we locals need to plan and practice both personal and community preparedness.” The meeting will include updated information on the preparedness strategy for the north Tillamook County area, including Red Cross, Map Your Neighborhood, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), Medical Reserve Corps, Emergency Communications, plus the EVC’s newest division – Recovery. The new WaSH (water, sanitation and hygiene) strategies, for both personal and community use, will also be demonstrated.

The clinic will host a retirement celebration to honor Dr. Walczak on Friday, April 26, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the Pine Grove Community Center in Manzanita. The clinic is establishing a scholarship fund called the Dr. Karin Walczak Karin Walczak Scholarship in Medicine, to be awarded annually to any Neah-Kah-nie High School senior with a GPA of 3.5 or above, pursuing a four-year degree in medicine, any Bronwen Weichert type of medicine, including veterinary medicine.

Born and educated in Denmark, she began her medical career in Sweden and traveling to Third World countries in Africa and the Central Pacific.

Dr. Walczak is particularly fond of her work with the Breast Health Coalition, serving as the program director. A twotime breast cancer survivor, Dr. Walczak’s personal experience was a strong influence on her patients. “I’m a big believer in preventive medicine. Early detection makes such a difference with cancer and many diseases,” said Dr. Walczak. “Cancer teaches you to be thankful for every healthy day.” The public is invited to join the celebration to honor Dr. Walczak on April 26, at Pine Grove from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. A short program will be held at approximately 5:15 p.m. Meanwhile, a new family nurse practitioner has been added to the Rinehart Clinic staff.

Her practice will focus on primary family healthcare for acute and chronic conditions, preventive and wellness care, women’s health including bio-identical hormone treatment. A native of Texas, Bronwen graduated from Texas A & M and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and has certifica-
tions as an MSN, APRN, FNP-C. “I am a highly motivated person with years of professional and practical life experiences and I was looking for a position in a medical practice that provides quality healthcare,” said Bronwen. “We wanted to relocate to the Oregon coast and I’m just thrilled with the opportunity to serve north Tillamook County and to become an integral part of The Rinehart Clinic medical team.” Longtime area physician, Dr. Karin Walczak, will be retiring from the Clinic at the end of April. “Our patients will experience a seamless transition as Dr. Walczak will be able to introduce her patients to Bronwen and mentor her during her first month,” said Clinic CEO Ellen Boggs.

If you have plans to renovate or remodel your house, the workshop May 3-5 offers a decision-making process that could help you analyze your building’s needs and create a strategy for implementing changes, all in keeping with the historic character of your building.

Taught by architect Anthony Stoppiello, the workshop will begin with a Friday evening slideshow. On Saturday, participants will visit two Astoria houses to hear the owner’s needs and learn about potential design decisions and techniques, including materials, off the shelf technology, and lifestyle choices as they impact energy use. On Sunday, participant teams will present their strategies for making improvements in each house. Stoppiello has over 35 years experience, and emphasizes solar design, environmentally preferable materials and a whole systems approach in his practice. He has served as Sustainability Division Chair for the American Solar Energy Society and teaches Green Building and Thermal and Moisture Protection classes for Clatsop’s Historic Preservation Program.

Your dream vacation is only a raffle ticket away

Book launch celebration set May 4 for local authors
Two long-time local writers and emerging new publishers, Elia Seely and Nancy Slavin, will celebrate the publication of their novels, respectively titled Whisper Down the Years and Moorings, on Saturday, May 4, at 7 p.m., with a Press and Book Launch at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. The two writers created Feather Mountain Press as a publishing venue dedicated to writers whose novels are well written, literary, and include soulful characters and storylines. “I am the queen of supernice rejection letters,” Slavin said. “I had many reputable editors and agents say that my novel is lovely and good, but not sellable enough for today’s market. Elia and I understand what drives the popular market and we know publishing has changed dramatically in the past few years. Our novels don’t include zombies, werewolves,
or over-descriptive sexual content and we weren’t interested in writing those books. We decided to start our own press because we wholeheartedly believe readers still want stories that transport them to comElia Seeley pelling places and include people with struggles and transformations they can relate to in their current lives.” “There are many writers like Virginia Woolf who started their own presses,” Seely added. “They published their own books and then published the works of other authors who came to be well-known.”

mention the fact that community members can enjoy a bite to eat with their friends and neighbors at the clubhouse. With upwards of 750 golfers descending on Manzanita, Matthews and his cohorts are appreciative of the community support that has made the annual tournament run like a fine-tuned we-oiled machine since the beginning. “A lot of community organization send volunteers to help with the games and food booths,” Matthews said. “As for the golfers, many are second homeowners who have participated for years.” A few years back, a third day, Friday, was added to the event making it a three-day tournament. Many of those tee times are reserved for Manzanita Lumber, which every year invites its vendors to the tournament from as far away as central and eastern Oregon. Additionally, the Manzanita Open is good for the local economy, filling the streets and local businesses with people here for the tournament. “It’s a big event,” said Connie Vander Waal, another longtime Schmuck Foundation board member. “The women shop while the guys golf,” though at this tournament there are plenty of women golfers as
witchcraft. Slavin’s novel, Moorings, follows a young woman, Anne Holloway, as she journeys from the lower forty-eight up to Alaska to find her biological father. While unraveling the violent, deceitful truth about her family’s history, Anne’s presence precipitates break-ups, boat crashes, and, even, unexpected storms. By making the journey, Anne discovers true identity can be found within. For both novels, setting plays a big part in the story. In Whisper Down the Years, the barren, windy landscape of Orkney, with the presence of folklore and ancient ruins, make a compelling backdrop for the questions of murder, power, and justice. In Moorings, the small fictional fishing village of Snug Harbor is surrounded by misty fjords, receding glaciers, and wild animals, mirroring the town’s volatile past and tightly-held secrets two de-
cades after a major oil spill, but also pointing toward the possibility of healing for both the environment and the locals. Feather Mountain Press’s goal is to provide a platform for other writers who are writNancy Slavin ing in traditional genres – mystery, western, commercial, etc. – but who are stepping out of the box and elevating their stories with intelligence and finely-wrought themes. “In the U.S.,” Seely noted, “it can be hard to get a mystery published that isn’t one car chase after another or purposefully silly. We want to encourage writers who transcend the conventions
of popular genres.” By the end of the year, Seely and Slavin look forward to finding new books for Feather Mountain Press that can really soar. The Feather Mountain Press book launch is open to the public and refreshments will be served. After Seely and Slavin read from their novels, there will be time for Q & A. Book sales will be provided by Cloud and Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Avenue in Manzanita. For more information visit feathermountainpress. com.
well. Of the approximate $85K to $90K donated annually by the Schmuck Foundation in recent years, $65K found its way back to the local community with the remainder earmarked for scholarships. Local organizations that are among recipients of Schmuck funds on an annual basis are the North County Food Bank, The Rinehart Clinic, Hospice of Tillamook, Meals on Wheels, Secret Angels and
Neah-Kah-Nie athletics. Board members are quick to point out it all stays in north Tillamook County. Scheduled May 17, 18 and 19, the Manzanita Open runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Though it’s too late to sign up for tee times, there’s plenty of time to register to volunteer, donate to the silent auction, add your name to the sponsor board for as little as $100 or
just visit the Manzanita Golf Course and partake in the fun and games and enjoy a burger hot off the grill. If you’re interested in volunteering, call Ron Owens at (503) 368-7620 or Connie Vander Waal at (503) 3686340. For more information about the tournament or the Eugene Schmuck Foundation talk to one of the other Schmuck Foundation board members – Dave Matthews,
Dave Stephens, Steve Erickson, Tom Moore, Jim Hickey or Nancy Zettergren. “This is truly a communitywide event,” says Matthews, who cautions, if you hear a loud cheer emanating from the golf course the weekend of the Manzanita Open it’s because the Schmuck Foundation has surpassed the $1 million mark, something that will likely happen sometime on Saturday of the tournament.

Erickson, “but I’m going to live with cancer.” For seven years, up until his death in July 2004, that’s exactly what he did. Shortly after he received the news from his doctor, Gene, with the help of the Manzanita Golf Course and others, established the Gene Schmuck Memorial Foundation to benefit charities and nonprofits in north Tillamook County. Erickson remembers playing at the first tournament with Gene and later having to drop the word “memorial” from the foundation’s name because, as Erickson puts it, “Gene just kept going.” Even after he moved to Nehalem Bay House, an assisted living facility, in 1998 Schmuck still made it to the golf course to enjoy time with his many friends and help with the Manzanita Open. “Gene was always a breath of fresh air when he walked through the door,” said Erickson in an interview with the Citizen following Schmuck’s death. Erickson maintains that it was Gene’s positive attitude that gave him the upper hand in his battle with cancer. Now, nearly a decade later, his foundation closes in on $1 million. Though the tee times for this year’s golf tournament were filled long ago in the span of an hour-and-a-half, there’s still plenty of opportunity for locals to get in on the fun, says Schmuck Foundation board president David Matthews. “The putting games, raffle and silent auction are open to all,” said Matthews, not to
Seely’s novel, Whisper Down the Years, is a literary mystery set in Orkney Island off the coast of Scotland, where the protagonist, Finn Ross, has retreated to find clarity about his dissolving career and marriage. Ross unwittingly discovers the body of a local eminent musician and his involvement in the case thwarts his desire to return to his native Belfast. An enigmatic island girl and her grandmother join Finn in his pursuit of the mystery, and all three find themselves caught in a web of lies and secrets, revealing threads of old sins and links to shadowy

It is the same principal that the tobacco industry uses when it adds more nicotine to cigarettes, it hooks people. But since MSG has such a bad name, the food industry has come up with clever ways to hide it. Now, go back and read that list again, learn it, be informed. You are the only one that can control what you buy and what goes in your mouth. One of the foods that always always has MSG in it is mayonnaise. Mayo also contains low quality oils and calcium disodium EDTA, which is a preservative made from formaldehyde. Processed mayo was a beloved ingredient in our fridge until last summer when I decided we were not going to eat it anymore. I decided to start making our own and have never turned back. It is actually fun and tastes so wonderful! I encourage you to take your health in your hands and make your own mayo.

Homemade Mayo, your way Making mayo is a magical thing; you just have to remember a few things. First of all make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature or you will have “broken” mayo, which is a slurry of egg and mayo, yucky. Second, pour the oil into the running blender as SLOW as possible, or once again, it will break. But in truth, it is very easy if you follow the rules. Do not use extra virgin olive oil here, it turns the mayo green and tastes funny. 1 2 1/2 3/4 1-1/4

Break out the blender and crack the egg in there, add the lemon juice, mustard powder, salt and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. (Add the garlic, herbs or other spices here as well.) Put the lid on the blender then blend on medium speed until the ingredients are combined. Now for the exciting part, take off the middle of the lid of the blender and with the blender still going, start drizzling the remaining one cup of olive oil into the blender very, very slowly. I mean pour in a tiny little trickle. Breathe, lower your shoulder blades, and relax. This is a process. Soon your will hear the blender begin to change in tone, this is when the magic begins and the emulsification starts. Do not lose your nerve and consider dumping the rest in! Continue to drizzle the oil in slowly until the mixture is this lovely creamy mayo and all the oil is distributed. Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. (I mark on the jar when I made it since I never remember otherwise.) Enjoy this wondrous food with all wholesome ingredients.
