THE DILLONS,CITIZENS OFTHEYEAR

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Don’t look for Dave Dillon to be part of the veteran’s color guard in this year’s Manzanita Fourth of July parade. Nope, it’s not going to happen, even though he’s been at the front of the parade for so many years in a row he cannot remember how many. Nor will his wife, Lori, herself a “regular” in the parade, be pluckin’ her banjo on a flatbed truck as part of the Nehalem Bay Stompers.

Instead, this year, they will be chauffeured, riding in the backseat of a convertible waving to the crowd as Manzanita’s Citizens of the Year for 2012, in recognition of their volunteer efforts in the community going back several years.

“It wasn’t a total surprise,” said Dave, when the selection of Citizens of the Year was announced at the June 5 meeting of the Manzanita City Council.

“It’s just nice to be part of a club that has done a lot for this community.”

While it wasn’t unusual to see Dave at the council meeting, Lori was invited specifically, under false pretenses, to bring her banjo to the meeting and play “Happy Birthday” in a sing-along to Mayor Garry Bullard because he loves the sound of the banjo. Turns out, it wasn’t his birthday. Whether or not he likes the banjo, who

If that’s not enough, David and Lori appear as Santa Claus and his elf during the holidays to support community celebrations and local businesses.

(Whew!)

Lori, who grew up on an Idaho farm, moved to Nehalem in 1979 and has the distinction of living in all three villages – Nehalem, Wheeler and Manzanita. She met Dave in 1995, not long after the retired Navy veteran moved to the area. She was putting up posters to help promote a blood drive in a local coffee shop when she caught the eye of Dave, who asked her about the event.

Later that year, the two were participants in early meetings to launch a newspaper in north Tillamook County, which, as the North Coast Citizen, debuted in April 1996.

“There were about 30 of us at that first meeting,” Dave, who graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Utah, recalled. “By the time the newspaper actually started it was down to six of us.”

One of those six was Lori, who served as the paper’s distribution manager, while Dave took on the duties of editor. By this time, the casual relationship had blossomed. They started dating and, in 2003, tied the knot. In November that

Remembering a ‘down to earth’ kind of guy

It wasn’t long after Lyle Woodward’s passing on June 10 that news of his death spread across the region. Lyle, who lived most of his life in the Nehalem River Valley, was simply described as “a truly great, kind, down to earth guy,” by one member of the White Clove Grange where he had served as grange master for several years.

It was a sentiment undoubtedly shared by family members and the many friends he made over the years. Lyle died in Wheeler at age 86 and, interestingly, had just celebrated with his wife, Virginia, the couple’s 65th anniversary.

He was in the seventh grade, when he moved to Nehalem with his family. Lyle graduated from Nehalem High School in 1944 and right afterwards enlisted in the U.S. Navy.

Not one to talk about himself, it was hard to get the World War II veteran to speak of his wartime experience, but he remembered that period of his life as if it happened just yesterday. He had never strayed far from home, but when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Lyle, like most of his Nehalem High School buddies, could hardly wait to sign up, he told the Citizen in a Veterans’ Day interview in 2005.

“I figured I needed to help. Back in those days the general feeling here was that we were really going to be attacked on our own soil, probably by air.”

He was ready to go when he was just a

Eleven-year-old Mara Soans was excited and honored to have her poster design selected as the official Manzanita Fourth of July poster. The Nehalem Grade student said she “worked really hard on it” and spent upwards of 20 hours on the project in a period of a couple of weeks. Photo by Dave Fisher

Manzanita ready to light the fuse for the 4th of July There’s nothing like an Independence Day celebration at the beach, and Manzanita’s annual gala party is as good as they get. Here’s what’s happening on the Fourth of July, 2012, along with a few tips for a safe and sane holiday:

Neah-Kah-Nie High Pancake breakfast

Start your July 4 with a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast at the Manzanita Fire Hall from 8 to 11:30 a.m. A fundraiser for the Neah-Kah-Nie High School athletic department, the menu includes pancakes, ham, juice or milk, and coffee. Adults are $6 and children under 12, $4.

Another great Manzanita 4th of July parade is in store.

This year’s theme is “Child’s Play,” but you can always expect a few surprises from entries to this parade. On Wednesday, July 4, registration is from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Underhill Plaza, and the parade begins promptly at 1 p.m. Ribbons will be awarded for each of five categories, including two designed for kids 16 and under.

Entries have to be in place by 12 noon to be eligible for judging. Honoring veterans

His mother wouldn’t sign the papers for him to enlist. Lyle waited until he graduated, but pre-enlisted so that when he turned 18 he didn’t have to wait any longer.

“I turned eighteen May 9, graduated high school May 10 and was in boot camp May 11 – bang, bang, bang, just like that,”

said Lyle, at the time.

The parade entry form may be obtained on the city’s website, www.ci.manzanita.or.us , or at City Hall. Any other questions on the parade may be directed to Jerry Taylor at (503) 368-5343.

The city-sanctioned fireworks display starts at approximately 10 p.m. on the beach at Manzanita. The show lasts about 20 minutes.

Evening Fireworks Display

If you are planning to see the Manzanita July 4th fireworks display up close, be prepared for some street closures. In order to comply with State Fire Marshall regulations, Ocean Road between Laneda Ave. and North Ave. will be closed to all traffic between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4. The east-west streets between Laneda Ave. and North Ave. will be closed to through traffic at First Street. These side streets will be open only for local access during this time.

The wait is over.

The old structure that once housed Manzanita Fresh Foods is long gone and in its place is a new expanded parking lot in front of a brand new twolevel 18,000-square-foot facility. The new Manzanita Fresh Foods IGA opened for business Monday morning after being closed nearly a month for demolition of the old store and installation of the parking lot.

After experiencing more than 15 years of steady growth in the retail business, storeowners Jon and Tim Welsh planned the construction of their new energy-efficient store in conjunction with becoming members of the IGAAlliance.

“We are very excited to launch our new store as a member of the IGA family,” said Jon. “Bringing IGA to Manzanita will enable us to leverage the dedication and commitment to our customers and community that has always been a part of our business.”

The grocery store and property adjacent to it was purchased by James Welsh, father of Tim and Jon, in 1997, with the plan being to one day expand.

His sons took over ownership of the business in recent years and, almost

immediately, set about planning for a new store.

As members of IGA, the world’s largest group of independent grocers, the store will begin displaying the globally recognized IGA red oval banner.

Manzanita Fresh Foods will also carry more than 215 IGA private label brand products.

Manzanita Fresh Foods IGA features a full-service meat department, seafood, deli and bakery departments, a wide assortment of organic and conventional produce and grocery products, as well as a vast selection of wine, beer, general merchandise, and seasonal items.

With an expanded store and new specialty departments, the Welsh bothers have hired upward of ten additional employees, many of which, along with existing staff, underwent training during the down time to learn new systems and how to operate equipment.

The new store, say Jon and Tim, will be a great asset to the region for years to come, as they continue to improve their overall store operations, product selection and services with IGA. The store, located at Highway 101

Port of Nehalem backs away from marketing plans

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

The Port of Nehalem has, for the time being, tabled plans to develop a marketing plan for a portion of Bott’s Marsh and adjacent fill property owned by Nehalem residents Vern Scovell and John Jelineo.

According to the minutes of its March meeting, Port commissioners approved $5,040 for consultant Bill Campbell, former director of Tillamook County Department of Community Development, for purposes of “marketing for Bott’s Marsh property.” The motion, moved and seconded by Don Cameron and Lindy Scovell, son of Vern Scovell, was approved with one abstention.

In the minutes of the April meeting of the Port of Nehalem, the minutes of the preceding month’s meeting were amended to read: “Bill Campbell is developing a plan for the marketing of Bott’s Marsh property.”

The minutes, as recorded, caught the attention of Cameron La Follette, land use director for the Oregon Coast Alliance (ORCA) based in

Charleston, whose mission is to help conserve and protect coastal natural resources.

In a letter dated May 9, and directed to port commissioners, La Follette asked the following questions, hoping to get a reply

by May 21: 1. Does “Bott’s Marsh property” refer to the property owned, in part, by Vern Scovell, which lies primarily in the Urban Growth Boundary of Wheeler, and consists both of a marsh in the Nehalem River and an upland portion?

2. Does the Port of Nehalem have an ownership interest, or some kind of lease or other agreement giving it rights, in Bott’s Marsh property?

3. If the Port of Nehalem does not have an ownership or other interest in Bott’s Marsh property, what is the purpose of paying Bill Campbell $5,040 for “marketing” the property?

4. Where are the funds coming from to pay Mr. Campbell $5,040; specifically, are they Port of Nehalem public monies?

5. What actions will Mr. Campbell take to market the

Bott’s Marsh property in return for the money received?

Asked about the letter, Dale Stockton, president of the Port of Nehalem, said he had not seen the letter from ORCA and as far as he knew the Port had not received it. He did note that Port commissioners had “backed away” from the idea of helping promote the sale of the property, roughly 6 to 8 acres that includes the site of an old mill north of Dart’s Small Engine Repair.

“The idea,” said Stockton, “was to help promote it and the area at the same time.” However, he added, there were “problems” with the property and the Port decided to put their “marketing” plans on hold, following the advice of Campbell who had initially been directed to analyze the property in assisting the present owners in marketing.

“Following discussions with the owners and my initial assessment, I recommended to the Port that they not pursue a marketing plan until some of the present issues were resolved,” Campbell said in an email to the Citizen. “The Commission concurred with

my assessment and the project has been tabled.”

Though Campbell said he wasn’t in a position to comment one way or another on any communication received by the Port from ORCA or any response the Port may or may not have provided, he did state that in his experience “there is far more myth and fable surrounding the property than fact…”

“Fact: Bott’s Marsh,” he stated, “comprises about 60 percent of the total real estate holding, it is a high salt marsh and is protected as a Significant Natural Resource under provision of the Tillamook County and City of Wheeler Comprehensive Plans (e.g. it will not be developed and will be protected). The Port is cognizant of the Plan provisions affording estuarine protections throughout the Port District to the Head of Tide above Roy Creek to the mouth of the river and the jetties constructed, beginning in 1911.”

This is not the first time the environmentally sensitive area has been the subject of controversy. At one time, Scovell planned a marina for the site.

Of late, plans to develop the area for condominiums with a retail element led Wheeler to approve a measure by public vote to allow citizens to have the last word on property annexation, something that would have to be done if the

property is to be developed.

This doesn’t mean Wheeler citizens and ORCA are against future development of the property. “We just want to see an appropriate development that protects the marsh,” La Follette told the Citizen.

Join the search for the ‘Neahkahnie Treasure’

Treasure seekers have long heard legends of Spanish gold hidden somewhere on Neahkahnie Mountain. Now, Country Media and Tillamook Ford are giving locals a chance to find a treasure of a different kind.

Readers of the Headlight Herald and North Coast Citizen will have the opportunity to search for the “Neahkahnie Treasure” – a small treasure chest hidden somewhere on public property within Tillamook County. Inside the chest will be a notarized certificate redeemable for a $500 cash prize at either newspaper office. Tillamook Ford is graciously sponsoring the contest and the prize.

Starting July 4, in each print edition and daily online, readers will find clues about the chest’s location. The clues will be hidden somewhere within the newspaper, and within various online articles at tillamookheadlightherald.com and northcoastcitizen.com.

Unlike the Neahkahnie

treasure of lore, believed to be buried somewhere along Neahkahnie Mountain, this treasure could be anywhere on public property within Tillamook County – and you won’t have to dig to find it.

“Some clues will have multiple meanings; don’t expect them to be easy,” said Headlight Herald publisher, Samantha Swindler. “We hope readers have fun finding and interpreting the riddles, and solving the mystery of the treasure chest’s location.”

The story of the Neahkahnie treasure was passed down

by Native American tribes. As the legend goes, in the late 1600s, a Spanish ship arrived in Nehalem Bay. Several of the ship’s crew walked up Neahkahnie Mountain with a heavy chest laden with gold.

Believing that superstition would keep the natives from disturbing a man’s grave, the sailors took the life of a slave from the ship, and left his body on top of the chest.

Since the 1800s, British

and American explorers have searched for the treasure along the slopes of the mountain. It was never found; or, if it was, the lucky treasure hunter kept his mouth closed on the subject.

A few important rules for this modern treasure hunt: The chest was not placed on private property, so there is no need to illegally trespass, dig or do any damage to any property in order to find the chest. Laws expressly forbid digging on park property; please don’t disturb any public spaces in search of the chest.

Treasure seekers must be 18 or older to redeem the prize. The contest will end when someone finds the chest.

Readers must find the clues in print and online. Employees of the Headlight Herald or North Coast Citizen will not be able to provide the clues for you. Employees of the newspapers’ parent company, Country Media, and

their immediate families are not eligible for this contest.

Happy hunting!

The Rinehart Clinic's annual Sand Dollar Auction will be held Aug. 4. The clinic's 99th anniversary year will be celebrated with Tillamook County's largest and most glamorous tented event, featuring a silent auction, a multi-course catered dinner, and live auction. The “exclusivity” reputation of the event is due to the limited amount of seating – only 120 places are available, and the event does sell-out every year, so get your tickets now.

The Sand Dollar Auction has raised over $400,000 for The Rinehart Clinic, a nonprofit, Federally Qualified Health Center.

Volunteers are at work lining up the estimated 300 items needed for the silent auction.

In the past, donated auction items have included fishing trips, resort/hotel packages, wine, food, coffee, chocolate, dinners in private homes, tickets for concerts, theater performances, original art and jewelry. The widely distributed auction catalog includes sponsors ads, recognition for loved ones and tributes to the clinic.

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 “Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows” Starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. A long, but good story set in Britain late 1800s. A portrayal of the mechanics of war.

The underlying logic is absolutely true, unfortunately. A nice ride with no lifelong lessons, no deep thought... just good, high-action entertainment.

It all seems so clear to me now. I am the victim here. Why else would friends buy me a copy of George Takei’s autobiography (which is a very good book, by the way) or an “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” refrigerator magnet?

By Thor's Hammer, I was not alone! Outside the theater, I realized I felt better. Almost strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark, in fact. I was happily reminded of a quote from the classic 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds – “Just join us, cause there's more of us nerds than there are of you.”

Look for something that fits the money already in hand

I was surprised to see Kevin Greenwood’s persuasive speech headlined “North county community wants to see a new pool” (North Coast Citizen – June 14), since the only people who want to see us spend $6 million on a new pool are the people running NCRD. Some facts...

1. There are roughly 3,000 residents in the recreation district who could use the pool.

The cost is $6 million.

Umm... do the math.

2. There are about 2,000 homeowners, who would be the ones funding this dream.

So, the board wants to pay for it by boosting our property taxes. Again.

3. While nobody wants to admit it, the current pool costs are a huge drain on the NCRD resources. Spending $6 million doesn’t alleviate that, it exacerbates it. The fact is, if we didn’t have the high pool costs, the NCRD would

be in great fiscal shape.

4. We saw a big jump in NCRD funding four years ago (which, lest we forget, was largely to take care of the previous administration’s poor fiscal management). It passed by about eight votes. Do they really think, in light of the current economic climate, taxpayers want to add another big tax bill to our increasing list of demands?

5. The main argument in favor of building a new pool is to offer school children swimming lessons, but that could be done at other pools in the region, or by building a smaller, outdoor pool for summer use. Or, we could make the tough decision that swim lessons are one of the things we can’t afford for everyone at the present time.

6. The secondary argument in favor of building a new pool is to continue offering aqua exercise and arthritis therapy for seniors. That does not require a full-size, six lane pool.

7. The board keeps talking

about finding donors to help fund the pool, but they seem awfully short on specifics.

Claiming you are going to find people to contribute is significantly different from having checks in hand. The argument that “this area is filled with wealthy parttimers who will fund our dreams” has proved to be untrue.

8. At the end of the current budget cycle (2013), NCRD says it will have $1 million built up for a pool fund.

If we could move the NCRD board away from the Cadillac mentality of having the biggest, shiniest pool on the north coast, perhaps they could build something that would meet the needs of our local seniors, and possibly offer summer lessons for kids.

My suggestion is we look for something that fits the money already in hand, rather than listening to the happy-talk of a few people while laying another big tax burden on those of us who own homes in the area.

Decide on a plan of action first

Walt Trandum’s letter published in the last issue of the NCC regarding Wheeler City Hall improvements makes the case that ADA improvements to City Hall could burden citizens and seniors with debt. I agree, unfortunately, ADA is a mandate from the federal government and there’s not much anyone can do about that. The costs of compliance will need to be absorbed by the city unless other resources can be secured through grants or endowments.

In 2010, Wheeler established a committee to look into the alternatives for bringing the old structure into compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). I did the research, wrote the definitive Alternative Report, and presented it to the city council. The committee gathered a tremendous amount of data, including some cost data from similar projects. We also investigated possibilities for grants and

loans, and looked at available alternatives. The alternatives condensed into two broad options – either remodel the existing structure and bring it up to code and in compliance with ADA, or build new.

Our report did not attempt to quantify or identify ADA requirements or code violations and left the development of a list of deficiencies and costs to a follow-on design professional. However, from researching the topic with ADA and building officials, we learned that a new elevator, restroom remodels, automatic door openers would most likely be required as a minimum to make the existing structure comply, not to mention code violations. We also identified other concerns – resistance to earthquake and tsunami to name two. These are not small dollar items.

The total project costs will be substantial no matter what alternative is chosen.

In the process of investigation, we discovered that while Wheeler is revenue poor, it has land assets that could reduce the cost of a new facility considerably. We also discovered that private grants were available for new community centers, which could further reduce the cost.

To justify any expenditure of public funds, an architectural firm would need to be involved to tell the city what modifications were necessary to either bring the existing structure into ADA and code compliance or construct a new facility. We envisioned that A/E (architect/engineer) services would require “predesign” sketches, outline specifications, and total construction cost estimate. We are speaking of tota; cost of the project, start to finish, to the city. Our concluding recommendation to city council was that they begin the process of pursuing funding and selection for an A/E firm.

Some minor work has been done to City Hall – the front door and walkway. But I think, and this is just my opinion, the city is no closer to achieving ADA or code compliance than it was before. In fact, modifications to

floor plans could be required as a result of an elevator installation or restroom modifications that could impact the work already done. We won’t know until a final study and design has been completed.

The USDA (Department of Agriculture) holds the loan contracts with the city for the water system and requires ADA accessibility. My understanding is they have advised Mayor Stevie Burden to put all projects on hold and reserve capital for ADA improvements while other sources of revenue are being sought. Mayor Burden is currently working with the USDA to secure grants to do a study of what needs to be done to bring City Hall up to code and to assist in the construction once the community has reviewed the studies and decided what options will work best for our community.

That is exactly what needs to be done and it could increase the available funding by as much as 65 percent.

It is wise, fiscally responsible, and prudent for council to keep the financial brakes on any further construction until it decides upon a plan, and go ahead and fund the study to help council members and the community and make informed decisions using professional help. I support the mayor in her desire to lead the city ahead towards a final resolution that will determine the future of City Hall.

Lions serve the north coast area

While the closest Lions Clubs are in Rockaway, several members live in this area.

We spend our time looking for ways to serve our community and to make life better for others.

Our work to aid those with sight and hearing problems is pretty well known, but we serve in other ways. Each year, the two Lions Clubs offer scholarships to students at Neah-Kah-Nie High School and support many other activities throughout the

year. There is actually a branch of the Lions Club at the school, the Leos Club, which is very active in both their own projects and assisting the Lions in others.

One well-known work of the Lions is the collection and distribution of used eyeglasses and hearing aids. If anyone has some that they would like to donate, there are two collection boxes in our area. One is at Harrison’s Cafe in downtown Wheeler and the other is at the US Bank in Manzanita.

The Lions also have some equipment available for those needing wheel chairs or walkers. They also have an electric wheel chair that was donated by some local people.

If you need information, call the Lions Hall in Rockaway or you can call me, in Wheeler, at (503) 368-6079.

If you know any other Lions members, they will be able to help you.

Thanks for you help in our effort to make life better for others. Our motto is: We serve.

Coyote trappings to continue in wake of attack at NBSP

By Erin Dietrich For the Citizen

NEHALEM - Wildlife officials trapped and killed a coyote in Nehalem Bay State Park Saturday, following the coyoterelated injury of a five-year-old Oregon City girl in the campground the evening of Thursday, June 21.

Although it cannot be confirmed whether the trapped coyote was the same animal that confronted and apparently bit the child, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will continue trapping coyotes in the park and have the animal's carcass sent to Oregon State University to be tested for rabies and other diseases.

"Our plan is to get as many of them as we can find out of the park," said Rick Swart of the ODFW. No other coyotes were reported to be found or seen in the park over the weekend.

The attack, reported to Oregon State Police at approximately 9:30 p.m., occurred while girl and her family were walking along a trail that leads from the beach, where they had watched the sunset, to the campground. The girl's family said the coyote confronted them, and, while it remains unconfirmed that she was actually bitten, the animal appears to have caused a puncture wound on her back.

She was transported to

Providence Seaside Hospital, where she was treated and re-

leased, then went with her parents to a Portland-area hospital for precautionary rabies vaccinations.

After the incident, three other visitors reported encounters with an aggressive coyote earlier the same evening, though none resulted in an injury.

OSP stayed at the park over night to secure the area, and the U.S. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife came to the park the following morning to formulate a plan to trap the unknown amount of coyotes that live in the park.

According to a news release from the U.S. Parks and Recreation Department, four USDA Wildlife Services Agents arrived Friday and identified an

area of the park where coyotes were likely living. They set live traps and snares, and used imitation calls to attract coyotes.

One 20-pound adult coyote responded to the call and was safely taken from the park by lethal means. A park visitor involved in one of the other coyote incidents from June 21 managed to take a photo of the aggressive animal, and it strongly resembles the coyote removed by the Wildlife Services Agents. No other coyotes were removed from the park.

The attack was an isolated incident and Oregon State Parks representative Chris Havel said nothing like this has ever happened before in Oregon State Park History.

Swart, an expert in northwest wildlife behavior, said it's very rare, but not unheard of, for a coyote to go after a small child.

"We recommend that people don't leave small children unattended outdoors if coyotes have been seen around," he said.

According to the ODFW, the best way to respond to a threatening encounter with a coyote is to scare it away by shouting, throwing rocks, waving arms, etc.

Nehalem Council hears plans for new,larger NCRD pool

By Pat Edley For the Citizen

Peter Nunn, general manager of North County Recreation District, gave a report to Nehalem’s city council during its June 11 meeting on the progress of the proposed new pool. Nunn outlined the key points of the Enterprise Plan for the new pool, noting NCRD has received considerable input from the public on the plan. NCRD is now looking at three possible options including, seeing what they can do to fix up the existing pool, construct a new pool with the same dimensions as the current pool or build a new pool that is 50 percent larger, adding two more lanes.

As NCRD officials continue to study comments from the public, they are now in the process of getting proposals from

■DILLONS From page 1 broadcast journalism from the University of Utah, recalled. “By the time the newspaper actually started it was down to six of us.�

One of those six was Lori, who served as the paper’s distribution manager, while Dave took on the duties of editor. By this time, the casual relationship had blossomed. They started dating and, in 2003, tied the knot. In November that same year, Dave sold his interest in the newspaper and the couple “retired,� only to raise their hands, it seems, for any and every volunteer assignment that came their way. In addition, Lori started appearing at various local businesses pitching in as needed when business owners were shorthanded.

Regarding his volunteerism, Dave says, “There’s a lot of people in this community that do a lot of things‌nobody else is going to do it unless we, the community, do it.â€?

He has been associated with the Hoffman Center since its creation in 2004 and actually

The current cost “guesstimate,� said Nunn, is from $3 million to $6 million for a new pool, which would be located in the lower parking lot where the skateboard ramp is located. The parking that would be lost there would be moved to the lot along North Fork Road. Nunn said NCRD is looking at a steel frame building to house the pool and that they will engage a fund raising expert in hopes to have a definite plan by the end of the year.

City Manager Michael Nitzsche reported on the status of the PUD franchise agreement, which the council had accepted during its May meeting. However, PUD subsequently made changes to it. Nitzsche said the most troublesome change concerned putting up holiday lights and decorations on PUD poles, in

addition to other changes that he saw little reason for. Council members agreed, saying they felt it was a bad decision to present the franchise agreement as a “done deal� and then make changes after the city had approved it. The council authorized Nitzsche to discuss the matter with PUD officials.

There was a public hearing on a resolution declaring the city’s election to receive state revenues, and a hearing on a resolution to adopt the annual budget for fiscal year 2012 - 2013. The council approved both resolutions, with no further public input.

Nitzsche asked the council’s approval to accept an offer from HLBOTAK to digitally map Nehalem’s water system in order to simplify future work with the system. The cost would be $5,000. Council members agreed that

In other matters, the council: • Learned that Bill Davidson, the representative of Timber Consultants Mason, Bruce and Girard, who has worked with the city for a number of years, is going to a part-time position and will no longer be working with the city. • Discussed purchase of a “vac trailerâ€? for $5,000, noting that such a trailer would allow easier clean-ups without using a backhoe. The council approved going out for bids on the trailer and authorized Nitzsche to declare the Public Works Department’s old flail mower as surplus equipment.

Lyle Orlando Woodward was born in Overton, Nebraska on May 9, 1926 to Merritt and Vivian (Carpenter) Woodward. He died in Wheeler, Oregon on June 10, 2012 at the age of 86.

When he was in the seventh grade Lyle moved to Nehalem, where he grew up and graduated from Nehalem High School in 1944. Right after high school, Lyle served his country honorably in the United States Navy for two years. He was united in marriage to Virginia Gutschmidt on June 7, 1947 in Wheeler.

Lyle worked as a logger for Newberg and Scovel for 25 years, before working for Bighorn Logging. While logging, Lyle and Virginia also raised beef cattle at their farm.

They lived together for 65 years in a house that Lyle and his father built in Nehalem.

Lyle retired from logging in 1990, but stayed very active.

In retirement, Lyle and Virginia enjoyed camping, and traveling in their RV through the Good Sam Group.

“People are just interested in other things, television, computers…”

However, he also remembered what it was like for him as a young man working to support his family.

“I was the same way; I didn’t want to join anything. I was trying to raise my family.

My mother was always a granger, but I didn’t get involved until I was retired.”

However, concerned that the grange building was “going to go down,” he got involved.

In retirement, Lyle enjoyed camping with Virginia and the couple traveled in their RV

From page 1 defense of the island, kamikazes, in a last-ditch effort, guided their planes into the American ships, one of which was the Aaron Ward. The ship was severely damaged and came close to sinking, but somehow the shipmates kept the ship afloat. Forty-two sailors lost their lives and many more were wounded, including Lyle, who didn’t week treatment.

The small town boy arrived back in San Diego and, with some of his buddies, made his way back to New York City just in time for VJ Day. He was discharged form the service in 1946 and was back home in Nehalem in June of that year.

“I never really thought about staying in the Navy,” he said afterwards. “The main problem was there wasn’t enough to keep you busy. I’d been a farm kid all my life and there was too much down time for me.”

Back home in Nehalem, it did not take Lyle long to settle down. He and Virginia, who he met on his return, married in 1947 and the couple would have four children. He worked on the family farm for a time being, but soon turned to logging, which he did the remainder of his working life.

He and Virginia lived in the house he started building in 1950 on North Fork Road, a mile away from his family’s home. Little by little, the house, just like the family, grew over the years.

“I built everything on a cash basis. I had been through the Great Depression and I knew what it was like not having any money,” he told the Citizen.

In 1998, at the urging of a friend, he applied for the Purple Heart that was due him. Because he had not received treatment aboard a nearby hospital ship years ago, no doctor had entered his injuries into the record, although it was mentioned on his official discharge paper. Six months after he filed his request, Woodward received his Purple Heart.

In 1990, Lyle retired from logging, but continued to live in the house he and his father had built. During his career, he also raised beef cattle and continued doing so as a gentleman farmer in what was a very active retirement.

A grange member for 35+ years, Lyle became even more active with the White Clover Grange. He came by the role of master naturally. His mother, Vivian Woodward, was the longtime grange master.

He lamented the dwindling number of members and recalled when White Clover Grange meetings bustled with the presence of more than 100 members and their family and friends in another interview with the Citizen in 2007.

“At one time you couldn’t

ceded in death by his daughter, Diane Woodward Hinkle and granddaughter, Tonya Jude, in 1970. He was also preceded in death by his siblings; Mildred Stewart, Floyd Woodward, Gerald Woodward, Ed Woodward, and Charles Woodward.

He leaves behind to honor his life his loving family: wife Virginia Woodward, Nehalem; children John Woodward, Clatskanie; Sharon Blades, Soldotna, Ark.; Brenda Buel, Canby, Ore.; brothers Ronald Woodward and wife Mildred, Turner, Ore.; Richard Woodward and wife LaRayne, Nehalem; sisters Retha Kirby of Roseburg, Ore.; Verna Bell and husband Bill, Sweet Home, Ore.; Lois (Peggy) Rhodes of Kent, Wash.; and Kay Mosier and husband Bill of Big Fork, Mont.; by 16 grandchildren, many great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.

A celebration of Lyle’s life was held on Saturday June 23, 2012 at Calvary Bible Church, in Manzanita. Memorial contributions in Lyle’s name may be made to the Nehalem Valley Care Center.

Inurnment will be in Sunset Heights Memorial Gardens, in Tillamook. Waud’s Funeral Home is in charge of cremation arrangements.

Design your own Dog/Cat Bowl Contest Muttzanita 2012 is pleased to present an opportunity to anyone wishing to personally decorate an unglazed dog bowl. Once fired with a food-safe glaze, the bowls will be auctioned off as part of the fund-raising efforts of Muttzanita, which benefit United Paws and the Rotary Club of North Tillamook County.

Unglazed dog bowls will be available from Four Paws on the Beach beginning June 30 for a donation of $5. This covers the cost of the bowl. Glazing and firing costs are the responsibility of the artist. Four Paws will also accept entries for bowls designed from scratch.

Bowls may be glazed and fired at the Hoffman Center for those so inclined. Artists must agree to donate their work to Muttzanita's silent auction. Prizes will be awarded in both categories – original design and hand-decorated – to the bowls voted best by Muttzanita Festival participants. Deadline for entries is Aug. 11, one week prior to Muttzanita.

For more information, go to http://muttzanita.com/ or call Four Paws on the Beach at (503) 368-3436.

14th Annual Art Show expands its horizons What started 14 years ago, at CARTM in Manzanita, as a way to inspire the creative re-use of materials, has blossomed into an international art-form. Upcycled art, recycled art, trash art, metal art—whatever name is used, the medium is all about making something surprisingly creative, aesthetic, unique, functional and new out of something used, worn, discarded, displaced, ripped or smashed.

CARTM has upcycled this Trash Bash event into a new partnership with Hoffman Center in Manzanita as co-producer of the 14th Annual Trash Art Show. The show will take place at Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita and is the perfect upcycling scenario. “We're an art center,� said John Freethy, Hoffman Center board member and co-producer of the show. “The idea to partner with CARTM and produce the show at our venue was a perfect fit for the two organizations and the community.�

All trash art in the 14th annual exhibition – one of the spinoff events birthed from the Trash Bash – will be for sale in this joint fundraiser for CARTM and Hoffman Center. The other two spin-off events will be a CARTM Treasures Live Auction on Saturday, July 28, featuring 250 lots of the best of the best of the stuff that is turned into CARTM for resale and in October the much beloved Trashion Show will take place on Saturday, October 13 in Nehalem. For more information on those events check CARTM's website, www.cartm.org.

The Trash Art Show opens Friday, July 6, from 6 - 8:30 p.m., and runs Saturday, July 7, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday, July 8, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. The show is free and open to the public. For more information call 503-368-3846.

Entries for the 14th Annual Trash Art Show will be accepted on Friday, June 29, from 5 - 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 30,

monthly calendars signed by their parents, while 26 trophies were given to students in grades 2 through 5 for reaching their Accelerated Reading goal all four terms. Fifth grader Dixi Esplin received a plaque for having the highest point total of 372.

from 10 a.m. - noon at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita.

Trash artists may submit up to three pieces to the show with the following stipulations: all work must be for sale with a 50/50 split between artist and the sponsoring non-profit organizations; all work must fit through a standard sized entry door; all work must have a title and be ready for hanging (wired, framed, etc); and there is no entry fee to participate in the show. The show organizers regret that no late work will be accepted.

1 to 3 hours before BBQ time, start soaking your bamboo skewers in hot water, then mix together in a small bowl the soy sauce through the pepper. Drop your meat into a large zip lock bag and then pour the marinade over the meat in the bag. Squish it around until everything is nice and covered and put it in the fridge so everyone can get to know each other. Prep your veggies by cutting them into bite sized pieces, making sure they are big enough to get skewered and not fall apart. Set in the fridge with the meat. When it is time to grill, take out the meat and veggies and poke them onto the skewers in whatever pattern amuses you. This is a messy process so you might need a drop cloth. Discard the remaining marinade in the compost or where ever. Heat up the grill on high and grill the skewers for 5-10 minutes while turning them to each side. Try not to drool on them. When they are done, if you can handle it, let them set for 5-10 minutes before you eat them so the juices soak back into the meat.

Enjoy!

Lawyer was selected as the middle school principal after an extensive search by a screening committee comprised of Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School parents, students, volunteers, licensed and classified staff, and district administrators. Five candidates were interviewed from a pool of highly qualified and experienced educators. After an extensive interview process, and a thorough review of the needs of the students, staff, and district, Lawyer was chosen as the ideal candidate.

The board and superintendent continue to review options for athletic director and vice principal responsibilities at Neah-Kah-Nie High School.

Pending board approval, Lawyer, who replaces Jim Severson as middle school principal, will assume the position July 9, 2012.
