TRANSIENT LODGING TAX SET TO GO UP IN OCTOBER Of the two percent increase, 70 percent will help fund tourism promotion By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Tonjes replaces Ray Scales, who resigned his position because of health issues.

Manzanita’s transient lodging tax will increase from 7 to 9 percent effective October 1, 2012, as a result of the Manzanita City Council approving the second reading of an ordinance changing the existing tax rate. The council’s approval of the measure at its meeting June 5, came on the heels of a public meeting held the previous Saturday at Manzanita City Hall to encourage comment on the proposed increase. “This was a good opportunity for discussion and people didn’t take advantage of it,” said Councilor Leila Salmon, noting the sparse turnout of less than 20 people at the special meeting despite it being well publicized. Council member Linda Kozlowski shared Salmon’s disappointment and noted that “change is going to happen,” and that the rate increase will allow the city to better manage it. “This will help support our infrastructure, create a visitors’ center and build restrooms closer to the

Eleven-year run ends for NKN Superintendent Jay Kosik By Dave Fisher The Citizen

It was, Jay Kosik admitted, a somewhat bittersweet feeling he was experiencing, as the superintendent for the Neah-Kah-Nie School District sat in the audience prior to handing out diplomas to graduating seniors of Neah-Kah-Nie High School at this year’s commencement exercise. The June 1 ceremony marked the eleventh time in eleven years Kosik had played a role in the annual right of passage and it was his last. Kosik’s last day as superintendent is June 30, and that very same day a moving truck leaves Manzanita with his and wife’s belongings headed to Dickey Prairie just outside of Molalla where the Kosiks will begin the next chapter of their lives. For Jay, the upcoming move will be like going home again. It was while he was the director of human resources for the Molalla River School District he learned of the Neah-Kah-Nie position. He had also served as a middle school principal for the district. Though he grew up in small community in Washington, the move to the Oregon coast the summer of 2001 was, in his words, “a brand new experience for us,” and that experience had its rewards. “I’ll miss my people, making the friends we did and developing relationships. For me this has been the best professional journey of my entire career.” His wife, Sandy, herself an educator early on, shares her husband’s sentiment.

Neah-Kah-Nie Superintendent Jay Kosik and his wife, Sandy, look forward to spending more time with their children and grandchildren as they get ready to move to the Willamette Valley. Photo by Dave Fisher “I’ll miss the people here, my neighbors and those patients that I have come to know over the years. It is what I liked best about living here. I had never lived in a small town before,” she said. Subscribing to the notion that education is a continuing lifelong process, Jay and Sandy continued their formal education well into adulthood. At age 48, Sandy, who grew up in Eugene and is a “Duck,” decided she wanted to practice medicine, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Encouraged by Jay, the former health

Neah-Kah-Nie seniors say farewell at commencement exercise The Class of 2012 bid NeahKah-Nie High School adieu at its graduation ceremony held Friday evening, June 1. This year’s class, 45 members strong, was led by valedictorians Alexis Anderson and Kellie

Woodward, and salutatorian Shelby Porter, who challenged fellow graduates to make the most of educational opportunities and to embrace the future in their speeches. The 60th graduation exercise

of Neah-Kah-Nie High marked the last commencement exercise for NKN School District Superintendent Jay Kosik, who, after eleven years with the district in that capacity, is retiring at the end of June.

Manzanita Farmers’ Market kicks oﬀ new season e much-anticipated event attracts upward of 500 visitors every Friday evening

29467 70001 8

Fresh local foods from north Tillamook County’s small acreage farms is the main attraction at the Manzanita Farmers’ Market.

Open Friday evenings, June 15 through Sept. 21, the Manzanita Farmers' Market revs up the local scene and begins the weekend in Tillamook County's northernmost town. When the drum sounds at 5 p.m. at the parking lot on the corner of 5th and Laneda Ave., the festivities begin and continue until 8 p.m. The market shoots a healthy dose of money into the local economy, says Laura Swanson, market director. Last year, each of the 35 market vendors reported on average earning $4,000 through the season-or $120,000 total. Manzanita’s market has a lively vibe. Pedestrians trailing along downtown’s strip are enchanted by local music, tasty food, children’s activities and of course, fresh local foods from north Tillamook County’s abundant small acreage farms. Manzanita’s market also boasts a near “zero-waste” benchmark. Last year, the market only generated one garbage can's worth of non-recyclable garbage. This year, with the addition of reusable plates and silverware for ready-to-eat vendors to use, the market directors hope to

Experiencing firsthand the library book sale ‘payoﬀ ’ By Tela Skinner For the Citizen

It’s Saturday morning before Memorial Day. Crowds gather in front of Hoffman Center and Pine Grove, waiting for doors to open. The annual Manzanita Library Book Sale is about to begin. Outside Hoffman Center, shoppers press faces against windows trying to get a better look inside. Thousands of books - biographies, psychology, philosophy, history, reference, humor, coffee table, cookbooks and general interest books - are displayed on tables and shelves. Kathy Chandler, manager of the non-fiction venue, checks to make sure signs for each category are in place and that everything is ready for the crowd. When I step out of the building, a person in line asks, “How much do books cost?” “Most books are priced between $1 and $4.” I say. “You’re going to have fun in

there.” At Pine Grove, co-managers of the fiction venue, Margaret Steele and Peggy Biskar, greet volunteers as they prepare to work the first shift of the sale. It’s 9:00 a.m., doors open. People of all ages rush in to search through the huge selection of novels, mysteries, science fiction, poetry, and children’s books. Soon laughter fills the building as arms fill with treasures. “I feel like a kid in a candy shop,” one shopper announces. I’m smiling now. Paul Steele, a volunteer at Pine Grove, puts words to my experience, “This is the payoff, isn’t it!” Yes, yes, yes. People in our community donate thousands of books and volunteers work all year to make this one-day event a success. Observing shoppers enjoyment is a big reward. Of course, the other reward is income the sale generates for

North Tillamook Library Friends (NTLF). Friends work in partnership with Tillamook County to keep the Manzanita library operational. Tillamook County provides books and staffing while Friends maintain the building and grounds that house the library. Throughout the day, John Hanby, Friends’ treasurer, counts and deposits receipts. The primary fundraiser brought in over $7,500 in sales, donations and memberships this year. Elaine Hanby and Marleen Weissbach, volunteer coordinators, make sure both venues have plenty of help. Volunteers tell us they have fun looking over the book selection while they assist shoppers, restock shelves and tally purchases. If you’d like to support the Manzanita library here are a few things you can do: Join NTLF, the tax-deductible, single membership costs $5, family memberships are $10. Information about

traffic stop on Third and Laurel in Tillamook. Roger Grant McDonald, 63, was charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants (drugs) and two counts of recklessly endangering another person, as his wife and daughter were in the vehicle at the time of the incident. He was arrested by the Tillamook Police Department and lodged in the Tillamook County Jail. Mary Kellie McDonald, 43, was also arrested at the scene on a warrant stemming from a theft at the Bunkhouse Restaurant in

Nehalem. She was also arrested for supplying contraband, a class C felony, when officers found medication on her after the booking process that she had concealed. The couple and their young daughter were displaced from their rental home on 7th St. in Nehalem following a two-alarm fire May 22. No one was injured in the fire. NBFR District Chief Perry Sherbaugh said the cause of the fire was an unattended candle at the area of origin. At the time of their ar-

rest, they had been temporarily lodged at a motel in Rockaway Beach. Following the fire, a bank account was set up in their name at the Bank of Astoria for donations.

Rinehart Clinic receives Susan G. Komen grants The Rinehart Clinic has received a $35,000 grant to provide information and access to screening in Tillamook County. This education program is designed to increase screening and early detection of breast cancer. The Tillamook Breast Health Coalition goal is to reach nearly 1,000 women this year. The Rinehart Clinic has also received a $3,000 grant to provide transportation assistance in Tillamook County. This program is designed to remove the cost of transportation as a barrier to obtaining screening, diagnosis or treatment for breast cancer. The Tillamook Breast Health Coalition provides patient navigation and resources for breast cancer patients. In addition, the Coalition provides breast health education and screening information through workshops and community events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition has been successful in reaching out to more women here in Tillamook County every year with the help of these Komen grants,â&#x20AC;? said coordinator Suzie Whalen for the Coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Rinehart Clinic mammography rates have more than doubled in the

Wheeler had another successful town cleanup day May 19. Residents were invited to bring their discards such as furniture, appliances, building materials, electronics, yard debris, household or garage items down to Wheeler City Hall at no charge and enjoy refreshment while volunteers did the unloading. If residents were unable to get their discards down to City Hall, volunteers picked up items. This year 12 such trips were made, removing bulky things such as several couches, a hide-a-bed, pickup canopy, chopped up utility trailer, and a large commercial stove and grille.

A small fur seal tangled in rope was spotted on Manzanita Beach by Nehalem Bay State Park rangers at about 9 a.m. Friday, June 8. The rangers notified the Seaside Aquarium who quickly responded. Keith Chandler and Tiffany Boothe were able to successfully free the little seal from its entanglement. As soon as the rope was removed, the seal happily returned to the ocean.

MOVIE REVIEW "Memorial Day" Starring James Cromwell and Olivia Coon. A thought provoking look into the things we use to remember events, in particular war. Deep soul searching as one older generation deals with the atrocities of war and the younger generation wants to know bout their heroes. RAB 6/1/12 "Red Tails" This is one very good movie. The action set in WWII when we employed machines to kill the enemy. A true story about the military coming to grips with prejudice versus a need for talent. Believable interpersonal clips with excellent action battles in the air. Cuba Gooding stars. RAB 5/25/12

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Library‘Friends’ say thank you

The North Tillamook Library Friends extends a huge thank you to everyone who made the book sale a success this year. People in our generous community donated enough books to fill Pine Grove Community Center and Hoffman Center. The week of the sale, 89 volunteers helped with set up, moving, shelving and selling of books. We raised $7500 from sales, donations and new memberships. Friends of the Manzanita library own and maintain the building and grounds. The book sale, held annually on the Saturday before Memorial Day, is the Friends’ primary fundraiser. We hope everyone enjoyed the sale and will continue to donate gently used books. If you have suggestions about the sale, or would like to volunteer to help, please leave your name and contact information at the Manzanita library. If you’d like to become a member of Friends’ sign up forms are available at the library. Tela Skinner Book Sale Coordinator I would like to respond to a letter sent to editor by Elaine Magee, nutrition consultant for companies like Coca-Cola. She had comments to my article “The Reclassification of Sugar as a Drug” (5/2). First off, I want to say I am flattered and enthused to know that folks like Elaine and Steve Arch, a professor from Reed College, are reading and responding to my articles. It is motivating. I have to admit I was taken aback by Elaine Magee’s comments, as were a number of my readers. It was surprising that a person of such depth of knowledge would debate the fact that high doses of sugar is anything but poison to the body. There are a number of scholarly articles and studies attesting to that fact, as well as the fact that sugar is related to diabetes, heart disease and obesity. It is obvious, I am discussing the intake of sugar in excessive amounts and educating folks about the hidden sources of sugars in our foods, alerting them to this knowledge. Scare tactics? If

that is how you see it, then so be it. I have been a fitness and health coach for over 30 years. Now that I am in my 50s, it is apparent to me that there is no time to tippy-toe around the facts. My goal and my style are to give clear and concise information as well as motivation. On another note, I am curious about Ms. Magee’s position as a nutrition consultant for companies like Coca-Cola. I did try and contact her but was unanswered. Just wondering. Janice B. Gaines Manzanita

I am sure that I have spent most of my life being fully aware of the “trickle down theory.” It just dawned on me that we are right in the middle of trickling the other way. This stuff isn’t just happening in our country, it is worldwide and what a coincidence that we are all running out of money at the same time. I am not enough of a scholar to tell you how many times this has happened, but I know that my generation lived through a dandy back in the 1930s. The early 80s were the years that I lost most of my hair and sparked my decision to retire in 1985. A shocker a few years later was when the market crashed along with our IRAs and some of the stock that we thought were impervious. Along with others on fixed incomes, we worked at reducing our debt and managing whatever money we had in savings. I don’t think even the experts predicted the reduction in interest that made cash savings almost a liability. We were the first to have our cost of living allowances either reduced or canceled. Our use of the money we, along with our employer, paid into Social Security was suddenly converted to public funds and we became a liability. I was around when they started that business and, if they had kept the use of funds to the original payments to those who had contributed, it would probably be worth a great deal of money. While we were struggling to manage our affairs, it seems that the federal government was using the money like a slush fund used to finance favorite projects of

those in office. I am sure there were some good works accomplished, but it took a catastrophe to bring them to realize they had a problem. The real estate crash and the collapse of major financial institutions came close to putting us out of business. A strange result is the failure to hold those who were in charge responsible, who are nearly all living comfortably while others try to put us on an even keel. Yes, I think the “trickle up theory” is with us and those who would be our leaders are realizing that some decisions are going to have to be made that bring spending of all kinds in line with what we need to get by while private industry puts its shoulder to the wheel and sparks the economy too. To bring this government spending thing close to home, I have had a little experience and tried to make a difference. While serving as mayor of Wheeler, I was aware of the fact that the building that houses both the business office and the maintenance facilities, needed to be brought up to ADA standards and just general repairs were in order. Along with the city council, we came up with a plan and even got the process underway. The front door and door to the office were replaced and a porch and ramp was built. The restrooms needed to be improved and an elevator or other method to get handicapped people upstairs were funded and it was under way. Unfortunately, I had a medical problem and had to step down from the mayor’s position. The current mayor has now stopped all work on the building and insists that the city should apply to the Urban Development Bureau for funds. Even with a grant, the city will take on a great amount of debt. They mention using the money they do have to get free money with a grant. If it can be avoided, it would be a step in the direction that will have to happen on a national level. There is no free lunch! Maybe this thinking will “trickle up.” Wheeler already has more than its share of debt. If the current city council will look back in their records, they will find a plan that will make that grand old building usable for many years to come. It can all be done with the money that is in hand at this time. Call city hall or the mayor or any

In response to Ms. Magee’s critical response (5/17 NCC) to Janice Gaines’ convincing exposure of the deadly dangers of sugar permeating American diets. I petition Ms. Magee to clearly explain why sugar in processed foods and liquids, to her, is not detrimental to America’s healthy future. Merely browsing online for food with hidden sugar, various startling comment were found. An average American eats approximately 1,500 pounds of food every year and of this, 160 pounds are primarily sugar. According to the USDA, most added sugar in the American diet come from regular (non-diet) soda drinks, about 33 percent of all sugar consumed. One daily drink of soda can produce in one year 16 pounds of added unhealthy body weight. Furthermore, seriously ponder the warning health issue concerning society’s subtle slayers: smoking, stress sugar and salt. In closing, I request Ms. Magee to react with a more clarifying explanation of her differences with Janice Gaines’ thematic approach to a healthier lifestyle for the American public. William Maloney Manzanita

Weighing in on sugar

Personal hugs of gratitude sometimes don’t seem enough when one’s place of business floods from a broken toilet. My landlord, Pete Thompson, my husband Jim Hickey, and three great friends and neighbors, Craig Elliot, Robert Jack, and Tony Butler took time to empty the Maya Muse Gallery into Pete’s Antiques and clean up the water. In turn, they came back two weeks later to help with the task of finding the art and props in Pete’s Antiques and returning them to the gallery. I extend a huge thank you to all…for your time, kindness, and continued support. Kathleen Stupfel Hickey Maya Muse Gallery, Nehalem

■ Kosik From page 1 teacher attended Pacific University and received her credentials to become a physician’s assistant. She wraps up a three-year stint with the Tillamook County Health Department, “retiring” two weeks ahead of her husband. In her tenure on the coast, she also worked as a PA for The Rinehart Clinic and the Coastal Family Health Center in Astoria. For his part, Jay received his doctorate in education leadership in January of this year. “I was the oldest in a class of 40,” he noted. “It was a dubious honor.” While the Kosiks will slow down a bit, as they take up residence on their one-acre homestead on the Molalla River, the idea of retiring completely from the workforce is a foreign concept at this stage in their lives. Sandy, who enjoys gardening and now has an acre of ground to work with, looks forward to short-term assignments in the medical field, such as filling in for providers on vacation. Jay, a woodworker who is still honing his skills, sees himself as an education consultant for schools. The important thing, he says, is he and Sandy will be in charge of their own hours, freeing up time to spend with their grandchildren and enjoying long walks together. Of his achievements while a Neah-Kah-Nie, Jay is most proud of the fact that the district was able to pass a bond to build a new middle school, and renovate and remodel the other three schools that make up the school district. It was something that had never been done before and, while he spent countless hours pitching the passage of the $16.5 million bond measure in the fall of 2004, he is quick to credit school board members, community leaders, and district voters for the success. Another noteworthy achievement includes the literacy program, embraced by the Neah-Kah-Nie School District and implemented in 2007, an ongoing program that is supported and taught at every grade level, by all staff, throughout the district. Coupled with the continuing professional development of Neah-Kah-Nie staff, because, as Jay puts it, “you never stop learning,” the program has fostered a climate of “community learning,” where adults and children learn together. The implementation of an all-day kindergarten and vocational and technical programs, such as the high school’s construction trades program, also took root under his watch. Most important, though, it’s “his people” that have made the difference. “We’ve always hired quality people,” said Jay, “because you can’t have a great organization without good people. And, we have always had a great school board, committed to quality education, that’s been consistent with very little turnover.” While the couple will miss the coast and the friends they have made, one thing Jay and Sandy will not miss is all the rain, especially those never-ending dark, stormy winter days. ‘I’m glad I am no longer going to have to make a decision at 5:30 in the morning, following a storm, and having to decide whether or not we have school that day,” said Jay. Looking back the past eleven years, the Kosiks are grateful for the opportunities that presented themselves and there would be no thinking twice if they had to do it all over again. “Sandy and I both agreed when we came here it was to serve others. I feel blessed I had the opportunity to do something significant during that time with the help of others and am thankful for all the support we have received.”

Noting that Tillamook County is seriously considering imposing a 10 percent transient lodging tax countywide, Councilor Mike Scott voiced his support of the measure. Should the county beat Manzanita to the punch, the city would lose out on any increase in revenue, said Scott. “In the end, this should be approve,” he said. “We need to be proactive and continue to mange and maintain the village atmosphere (of Manzanita). Even if we raise it two percent, it’s still not the highest on the coast.” “Change is inevitable,” said Mayor Garry Bullard in his remarks. “Our stewardship is to manage change. There’s always going to be opposition and that’s understandable, and it helps us in our decision making. Control of the revenue raised must be maintained by the city. It’ll be our job to make sure the funds are used appropriately.” Looking to develop a strategic marketing plan to help build a healthy, sustainable, yearround economy in Manzanita, the Manzanita Business Alliance (MBA) approached the city earlier this spring with a request to raise the short-term lodging tax by two percent, with 70 percent of the increase tar-

geted to promote tourism in Manzanita. City Manager Jerry Taylor estimates the additional two percent collected by the city would amount to $105,000, 70 percent or $74,000 earmarked for tourism with the remainder going to the city to cover the impacts of tourism, such as road maintenance and public safety. As part of its agreement, the MBA, in partnership with the city, would provide a proposed budget at the beginning of each calendar year that describes how the tourism-related funds would be utilized and at the end of the year provide a detailed accounting of how the money was spent. To help eliminate confusion when the ordinance goes into effect, Taylor suggested moving

back the effective date from July 5 to October 1, allowing local operators to use the 7 percent rate for lodging reservations made before July 1, and apply the new 9 percent rate for new reservations. Also, noted Taylor, with the possibility of a referendum on the rate increase, it would create more confusion if the city informed operators of the increase one day and then had to send another notice soon after indicating that the increase was on hold until a referendum election was held. The Manzanita City Council will revisit its decision to increase the transient lodging tax when it considers a document of findings, which provides an analysis of issues and concerns raised, at its next meeting.

OBITUARIES Longtime Nehalem resident, Perry “Pete” W. Jones Jr. died Saturday, June 2, 2012 in Wheeler of Alzheimer’s disease. His wife, Lois, was with him at his side when he passed. Pete was born to Perry W. and Lura B. Jones, on January 24, 1926 in Independence, Oregon. He lived in Independence with his parents and brother, Rodney, until he enlisted in the United States Air Force in August 1944. He completed his basic training in Amarillo, Texas and continued his aerial gunnery training as a tail gunner at Tyndal Field in Florida. He was honorably discharged August 1946 in Ft. Lewis, Washington. After his service, he returned home, and enrolled at Oregon College of Education (Western Oregon University) where he met the love of his life, Lois Mae Gordon. They were married in Portland on December 28, 1947. He graduated with a degree in education and moved to Estacada, where he taught from 1949 to 1954. Pete accepted a teaching job in Gresham at Orient Grade School and moved to Boring. Pete attended Oregon State University and received his master’s in education in 1962. The family, which included three daughters, moved to Nehalem in 1967, where he was principal at Nehalem Upper Elementary for one year. In 1968, he became a vocational coordinator with the Tillamook County ESD until his retirement in 1985, ending a 35- year career in education. Pete belonged to many professional alumni and veteran organizations throughout his life including Past Master at the Masonic Lodge in Estacada. With their lifelong friends, Chuck and Vivienne Bullock, Pete and Lois bought acreage on Harrington Loop Rd. in Sis-

ters, in 1972. The two families subsequently built a cabin where they enjoyed spending as time as possible pursuing outdoor activities including biking, hiking, backpacking, and camping. Pete especially loved to fly fish having given up his old method of fishing that he disdainfully referred to as “bottom gouging.” He was a lifelong enthusiast of sports and played golf, baseball and football. If not playing the games, he was an avid fan of Trailblazer basketball and the New York Yankees. He loved to fly, sometimes hopping a jet just for the pleasure of flying. Eventually, he took flying lessons and got his small aircraft pilot’s license. He also enjoyed genealogy, playing pinochle, cribbage and counting cards at blackjack tables in Reno. Pete was best known for his sense of humor, and has left this personal legacy of play on words and “one-liners” to his wife, daughters, and grandchildren, who frequently banter with each other and unsuspecting people outside the family. Surviving Pete are Lois, his wife of 64 years; daughters Diane (Doug) Hunt, Marilyn (Denny) Ebner and Annette (Kirk) Jolma; grandchildren, Aric, Rory and Ted Hunt, Carrie and Bret Ebner, Kristine (Jolma) Boatman, Angela (Jolma) Porter; and great grandchildren, AJ Hunt, Tyler and DJ Boatman, and Noah and Andrew Porter.

NCRD seeking RFPs for pool design June saw two significant developments towards NCRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of securing an updated home for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aquatics programs: the pool Enterprise Plan, including public comments, was published and a Request for Proposals (RFP) for architectural services from a pool designer was announced. The Enterprise Plan describes what options are available to bring the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aquatics facilities to current standards, how the options will be studied, and the steps the District will follow to achieve the goal. As a result of the public comments, the Enterprise Plan was revised and the updated document is available for review at the NCRD office, at the Manzanita public library, and on the NCRD website at www.ncrdnehalem.org. The district has now invited proposals from pool design architects to provide specialist services to help select from a list of optional configurations for upgraded facilities. The Request for Proposals has been advertised statewide and local architects alerted to the opportunity. Proposals from pool designers are due July 6, and the district is aiming to select the most qualified company by mid-August. The RFP is also available to view and download from www.ncrdnehalem.org.

Members of Civil War regiment part of this year’s parade

Former candidates asked who they’ll support in November By Erin Dietrich For the Citizen

Two candidates out of the seven in the May primary for County Commissioner, Pos. 1 will face off in the November general election. However, the pair – Lisa Phipps and Bill Baertlein – together only received 44.4 percent of the vote. When asked whom they would support come November, only two of the other five primary candidates are making public endorsements. Jill Williams, who garnered 12.7 percent of the primary vote, and Tom Donohue, who had 7 percent, both plan to back Baertlein. “He's more fiscally conservative than Lisa (Phipps) and I think he's a more practical person from a conservative perspective,” said Donohue. Donohue, who has run for county commissioner three times, also said he believes the central part of the county dominates the political dialogue. “Consider that Mr. (John) Coopersmith, who is very well-known in the Nehalem area, and I'm from south county, we have two fairly wellknown people from north and south county who did fairly poorly in votes,” he said. “We had nothing from the central part of the county.” Coopersmith, who received 5.5 percent of the

Manzanita City Councilor Mike Scott is part of a Civil War reenactment club that will serve as the color guard at this year's Fourth of July parade in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The group represents the 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry, which was the only infantry regiment raised in Oregon during the war. The regiment served throughout Oregon replacing regular Army personnel who were sent east. The color guard, above, participated in this year's Rose Festival Starlight Parade in Portland.

vote, said he does not plan to endorse either Phipps or Baertlein. “No, I think the voters are able to make their own choice,” Coopersmith said. Neither is Valerie Folkema, who came in third place with 15.6 percent of the vote. “As with the rest of the citizens of Tillamook County, I will have to make that choice in November,” she said. Steve Forster, a Tillamook City Councilor who brought in 14.6 percent of the vote in the May election, isn't endorsing a candidate - at least, not yet. “I am doing a discernment on the office and where this county needs to go,” Forster said. “I don't want to be committed to one particular candidate at this point. I'm evaluating what this office needs from a new perspective and will go from there.”

As with all Mudd Nicksponsored programs, there is no cost to parents. “Everything is provided,” said Mudd, “even a spending allowance.” The Colorado archeology camp is just the latest life-expanding project the Mudd Nicks have been associated with and helped fund. During the past school year, the foundation presented approximately

MANZANITA PUBLIC SAFETY LOG

‘Life-changing experience’ awaits 12 NKN students this summer This summer, 12 Neah-KahNie middle and high school students, along with three instructors, will be participating in an archeology camp in Cortez, Colorado thanks to the Mudd Nick Foundation. It is, says Jim Mudd of the “Mudd Nicks,” a life changing opportunity for those who will make the trek to the Rocky Mountain state in June and July. “This is by far the biggest thing we’ve ever done,” said Mudd of the collaborative effort with Our Brothers’ Keepers, a group of 1960 alums from Oregon State University whose many members annually support the Mudd Nick Foundation as volunteers and donors. As luck would have it, Joe and Tina Turner, who are associated with the group, are residents of Cortez and own and operate Delores Canyon College where the NKN “campers” will stay their first night. The following day the Turners, whose enthusiasm helped propel the summertime experience for NKN students, will transport them and their chaperones to Crow Canyon Archaeological Center nearby. “It all happened so fast,” said Donna Miller, who, as the Mudd Nick coordinator, is the only paid person in the organization. The student selection process began this spring with teachers’ referrals, in which teachers were asked to select those students who would embrace the experience and, then, bring back and share it with their family, friends, school and community. The referred students, nearly 30 middle and high schoolers, wrote essays, attended informational meetings, and met with their principals and Miller before the final selections were made. The timeframe to accomplish all of this was tight, especially for the middle school students who will attend June 16-23, followed by their high school counterparts a month later. “We had about two weeks to do this for the middle school,” said Miller or the selection process, “and, of course, the parents had to be on board. It’s an incredible opportunity to expose these kids to such a different lifestyle and give them hands-on experience work sideby-side with professional archaeologists investigating the ancestral Pueblo Indians of the Mesa Verde region.” The program, says Miller, includes excavation, laboratory work and a variety of activities designed to give students an appreciation for ancient lifestyles and technologies. Crow Canyon’s mission is to advance knowledge of the human experience through archaeological research, education programs and collaboration with Native Americans. The week culminates in a daylong tour of Mesa Verde National Park, a World Heritage site. While all travel costs, camp fees and extra money for specialized gear needed for the experience is provided, all the participants will present a “project” that demonstrates what knowledge they attained from
