HOLIDAY CELEBRATION GOES OFFWITHOUT A GLITCH Manzanita’s annual Fourth of July celebration was for the most part trouble-free, according to City Manager Jerry Taylor. “The crowd seemed a little lighter this year, probably because the holiday fell on a Wednesday,” said Taylor. That said, the town was full, as was nearby Nehalem Bay Sate Park for the festivities. Laneda Avenue was, once again, lined with spectators for the parade, which was followed by a spectacular fireworks display on the beach later in the evening. The Manzanita City Council critiqued the annual celebration at its July 11 meeting.

CARTM’s solidserviceislocal goldevenwithnew$3minimum By Lorraine Ortiz

Many in the Nehalem Bay Community pride themselves on the tiny amount of household trash they generate each week – and most have been recycling for 25 years or more. These people are called “Zero Heroes” by the staff at CARTM because they practice principles that help further their mission of leading the community to zero waste. “Our Zero Heroes arrive at CARTM with tiny bags of trash,” said CARTM director Jan Hamilton. “We love knowing those households are generating less and less trash. We even created a special measuring device just for them that would assess trash fees down to twenty-five cents.” CARTM’s effort has been to reward people for doing the right thing – that is by making recycling free and charging for trash. CARTM relies on revenue from trash to help offset the costs associated with recycling. This model is literally putting CARTM out of business. By encouraging the community to do the right thing for the environment, people are bringing in less and less trash and more and more recycling resulting in overhead and expenses remaining steady to

Photo by Lorraine Ortiz keep the service alive, as the income continues to decrease. Historically, CARTM has prided itself on operating without imposing a minimum fee for trash, (the other two transfer stations in Tillamook County charge a $17 minimum) but driven by the steep downward trend in trash revenues, beginning June 1, CARTM instituted the first

ever $3 minimum fee for dumping trash. “We are so proud of our Zero Heroes, and their tiny bags of trash,” said Hamilton. “It is the norm for transfer stations to charge a minimum but the idea of a minimum at CARTM is taking some getting used to by our community.”

Approved legislation good news for Tillamook County Congress recently passed a transportation bill that includes a one-year, $346 million extension of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act – commonly known as the county payments law. Thirty-three of Oregon’s 36 counties, one of which is Tillamook County, will receive a total of $102 million from the legislation to help fund county roads, law enforcement and schools. The extension represents a 5-percent decrease over funds distributed last fiscal year. Tillamook County will receive about $600,000 of previously un-budgeted funding: nearly all of that will go to the county road department. Eric Schmidt, spokesperson for the Oregon Association of Counties, said the payments will likely arrive in December. The legislation passed the U.S. Senate on March 14, by a vote of 82 to 16 and on June 29, the House passed it, 373 to 52. “This is the fourth time since I wrote the original county payments law in 2000 that Congress has come down on the side of schools, roads and law enforcement in rural, natural-resource dependent counties,” Oregon’s U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden stated. “Maintaining the federal govern-

ment’s historic obligation to rural Oregon and to rural America has always been my top legislative priority. The conference committee decision to include this extension means that this vital program will continue $100 million to help stem the tide of layoffs, cutbacks and reductions in vital services in hard-hit rural communities could simply not have come at a better time.” In 2000, Congress passed the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act to make up for the shared revenue that timber counties lost when logging in federally-owned forests was curtailed due to new environmental considerations. "I applaud the House for passing a bipartisan, fully paid-for transportation conference agreement negotiated by Senate Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell," said U.S. Rep Kurt Schrader. "While not perfect, this extension gives Oregon's struggling timber counties, transit and construction companies and undergraduates the security they need to plan for their long-term success. Most importantly, these investments serve as a boost of confidence for Oregon companies to invest, expand and create quality Oregon jobs now and later on down the road."

“She really lit a fire.” That is how Kathryn Harmon, Nehalem resident and librarian for both Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School and Neah-Kah-Nie High School, sums up her recent experience with Erin Gruwell while attending the Freedom Writers Institute in Long Beach, California. Harmon, who has been with the Neah-Kah-Nie School District seven years, was awarded a scholarship supported by Our Brothers Keepers (OBK), a group of 1963 alumni from Oregon State University, to attend the five-day training exercise. “This opportunity will allow me to bring the teachings of the Freedom Writers Foundation back to both schools,” said Harmon. “I believe this training will support student success in this district, and I was honored to be chosen to participate.” The focus of the Freedom Writers Foundation and its institute is to decrease dropout rates and help at-risk students reach their full potential. The institute trains and supports language arts teachers of at-risk middle and high school students by using the Freedom Writers method. The story of Erin Gruwell and the

Kathryn Harmon, a teacher/librarian at Neah-Kah-Nie middle and high schools, was one of 25 teachers nationwide selected to attend the Freedom Writer Institute in Long Beach, California this summer. Photo by Dave Fisher Freedom Writers has received worldwide attention with the release in 2007 of the feature film “The Freedom Writers,” and the sale of nearly a million

copies of the Freedom Writers Diary, which is now published in eight languages. “I had no idea what I was getting into,” said Harmon, when advised she had been selected. “I read the book before I went and became interested in Gruwell’s philosophy and how it could be applied to our rural district. She (Gruwell) is all we endeavor to be as teachers.” Harmon was selected from a group of many qualified applicants. She received both a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and in Chinese language from the University of Oregon, along with a master’s in education from Portland State University. Additionally, she has been a member of the Oregon Association of School Libraries since 2005 and served on its board since 2011. As a teacher/librarian, she team-teaches in all content areas and library science within the Language Arts Department in both the middle school and high school. “Working in both buildings made me a good candidate to attend, and others had summer scheduling conflicts that eliminated them, but when it came to me, I said, ‘Heck, yeah, I’d love to go.’” Harmon is now part of an exclusive

club. In the eleven years the institute has been held, 237 teachers have attended the annual event. Harmon, who was one of just 25 who attended this summer, is the first ever teacher/librarian to become a Freedom Writer Teacher, a designation that allows her to teach the principles set forth by Gruwell. With only five days to teach what took Gruwell four years to accomplish at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, from 1994 to 1998, Harmon’s days were jam-packed, lasting from 7 a.m. to between 10 p.m. and midnight. “We even had four working meals so we could eat while we listened. They really tried to pack in as much as they could,” Harmon noted. This fall, Harmon will take what she has learned and concentrate on staff development, providing short lessons to improve how teachers teach. Her experience at the institute dovetails nicely with the school district’s focus on literacy, in particular writing. In the end, says Harmon, it’s about the students, not teachers standing in front of the classroom. A unique aspect of this scholarship is

Fire Mountain to launch new Intuitive Arts Program When school starts this fall, Fire Mountain School will unveil its new Intuitive Arts Program recognizing and nurturing individual creative expression through music, writing, visual arts, dramatic arts, and healing arts. One day a week, a variety of local art teachers with diverse backgrounds and approaches will be offering their skills to the classroom and encouraging creative self-expression. Fire Mountain will be integrating these ideas into the educational curriculum to further deepen and enrich students’ engagement with essential learning topics such as reading, math, science, English, and history. During the fall, students will be exposed to visual and healing arts. Activities will include plant imprints, paste and organic paper making, painting, wildcrafting, natural fabric dying, cooking, tincture and salve making, and flower essence creation. Fire Mountain School will host an art

and gift show at the end of the fall season. Dramatic arts will be the focus for winter with activities to include acting and improv, puppet making, script writing and creation, musical creation, visual art creation, set building and costume design. This will culminate in a play performance in December. The spring/summer season will include music and creative writing. Students will learn more about journaling, poetry writing, instrument making, song writing, music theory and composition education, visual art creation, and singing. A concert will be held at the end of the school year. Fire Mountain currently has openings for the 2012-13 school year, offering a beginnings class, ages 3 to 4, and an upper class, grades K through 6. For more information or to apply, please call Barbara at (503) 436-2610 or email fms@seasurf.net.

not going to be ‘Oh, what was that thing?’ We are down and we are screaming for help.” Goche said Albacore fishermen, who often operate 100 to 200 miles from shore, are the “front line” in the effort to spot debris, adding that they need an effective way of sharing information about navigation threats. He said most skippers have satellite Internet access, and would be able to log debris sightings on an interactive website if one was available. Heather Mann, of the Community Seafood Initiative, said such a system would unlock a powerful asset in the form of the Oregon fishing fleet. “You have eyes and ears all over,” she said. “These people are willing and able to report what they are seeing as long as they are also getting something back in terms of notification.” George Boehlert, of Hatfield Marine Science Center suggested attaching transmitter buoys to pieces of debris so that they could be tracked. Goche said that while boats would want to keep their distance from debris for fear of entanglement, fishermen could throw buoys in general area of the debris and hope they drift on the same path. Wyden said the combination of transmitter buoys and a

debris tracking website could be “one-two punch” the fishing industry needs. But trying to determine which federal agency could run such a system was less simple. Rick Brown of NOAA said his agency’s debris-tracking website is geared toward giving a “big picture” overview rather than tracking particular items’ movements on a day-today basis. He said NOAA could possibly broadcast co-ordinates of reported debris as part of its regular weather reports but that making such information available online would require more study. Meanwhile, Coast Guard Capt. Bruce Jones said the sheer size of the ocean means his agency must focus its attention on the most hazardous

pieces of debris. Jones said mariners have a legal obligation to keep a sharp look out for any navigation hazards. “The first line of defense has to be you maintaining that sharp look out at all times,” he said. Wyden said that while many details remain to be worked out, he feels the federal government has received its “wake-up call” regarding navigation threats. “This is the first meeting on this issue …” he said. “It’s not going to be the last.” SUBSCRIBE TODAY!

Days after Oregon authorities established a network of collection stations for tsunami debris that washes up on the state’s beaches, two federal legislators have drawn attention to the threats posed by debris that remains floating at sea. “It’s what you can’t see that is our biggest concern,” U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader said on a June 30 visit to Agate Beach with U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden to see the Japanese dock that washed up on June 5. Wyden said he wants to see the federal government take be a “better and smarter partner” in tackling the threat that floating debris could pose to fishing boats, barges and tugs along the Oregon Coast. “This is an enormous part of our economy,” he said, and, of course, lives could be at stake as well.” After visiting the dock, Schrader and Wyden met with members of the fishing industry representatives, local emergency managers and representatives from agencies including Oregon parks and Recreation Department, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Coast Guard to try and determine how to deal with the issue. “I want to make sure that Oregonians don’t get lost when one agency says it’s someone else’s job,” Wyden said. Wyden expressed particular concern that no one seemed to know that the 66-foot concrete dock was on its way to the Oregon Coast because it was floating outside the shipping lanes monitored by the Coast Guard. “There seems to be a gray area between the shipping lanes and the beach,” he said. “So we ought to be sorting that out.” While Wyden and Schrader heard that debris was unlikely to sink larger vessels, Rick Goche, chairman of the Oregon Albacore Commission, said an object like the dock could easily sink a fishing boat. “We hit something like that, we are going down,” he said. “We are going down now.

Dragon boat club forming in north Tillamook County By LeeAnn Neal For the Citizen

MANZANITA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barbara McCann believes 2012, the Chinese Year of the Dragon, is the time to form a dragon boat club on the north Oregon coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the Year of the Water Dragon, which only happens every 60 years, so this is a good time to start,â&#x20AC;? said McCann, a Nehalem resident and director of the North County Recreation District Aquatics program. McCann was among more than a dozen people from Manzanita, Nehalem, Cannon Beach and Seaside to meet on June 23 to discuss formation of a local dragon boat paddle club. According to organizers, another two dozen local residents who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to make the meeting have said they are seriously interested in joining a local club. However, before a club could begin practicing in the Nehalem River and Bay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are some things that we need,â&#x20AC;? said Char vonAhlefeld, a Vancouver and part-time Manzanita resident, as well as a member of the Wasabi Paddling Club, which has offered to assist in the founding of a local club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a boat, we need pad-

Founded in 1993, the Wasabi Paddling Club is Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest paddling club. It offers dragon boat and outrigger canoe paddling opportunities for paddlers at all levels on Juniors, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mixed Crew and Breast Cancer Survivor teams. Its 400 members range in age from high school students to octogenarians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aging has taken on a whole new meaning since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met these women,â&#x20AC;? said Miriam Rogers, Portland and part-time Manzanita resident and a Wasabi Paddling Club member who attended the recent local meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is anyone can do it.â&#x20AC;? According to Rogers, dragon boating is commonly

believed to have started 2,500 years ago in China. Today it is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with races held throughout the globe. Members of the Wasabi Paddling Club have participated in races in South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and China, among other locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go to Canada a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Wasabi Paddling Club member Joan Cavanagh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also paddle and race locally. You can do as much or as little as you want.â&#x20AC;? When they began, vonAhlefeld, Rogers, Cavanagh and Mary Ellen Schmidt, who also attended the recent meeting, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize they were the competitive type. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then it hits you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really competitive. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know I had it in me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said von-

Ahlefeld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dragon boat racing is a sprint,â&#x20AC;? said Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-out for three minutes and when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, you feel exhilarated.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do anything for three minutes,â&#x20AC;? said vonAhlefeld. Being a member of a dragon boat team â&#x20AC;&#x153;motivates you to do off-water training,â&#x20AC;? said Cavanagh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You start walking or lifting weights regularly.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is this great joy in being in synch, which takes time, but it will happen,â&#x20AC;? said Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of togetherness with people on the boat.â&#x20AC;? Another pleasure inherent in dragon boat paddling is the experience of nature close-up, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going out on a Saturday morning when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misty and seeing all the animals on the water is just magical.â&#x20AC;? The Wasabi Paddling Club is considering loaning or renting a boat to the local club to get it started, said vonAhlefeld. Eventually, however, the club will need its own boat. The 40foot-long dragon boats cost $8,000-$10,000 new, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be fundraising to get our own boat and there will be dues for insurance and maintenance. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to figure out how much those will be.

Char vonAhlefeld poses with a lifejacket and paddle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two of very few accessories needed to participate in dragon boat paddling. Photo by Joan Cavanagh

Wasabiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are $200 per year, but we paddle year-round and have a lot of boats.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great way to raise money is to get advertisers whose names will be displayed on the boat,â&#x20AC;? said Cavanagh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a dock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideally in downtown Nehalem. We could warm up from there, practice in the bay in front of Wheeler and cool down coming back. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need a place to store the boat from April to September.â&#x20AC;? The initial equipment investment is relatively low, said Schmidt. Lifejackets retail for $80-$120 new, while paddles â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

wood or carbon fiber â&#x20AC;&#x201C; range from $60 to $100 new. Many paddlers also use paddling gloves, rain pants, a hat and portable seat pads, she said. Mary Blake, former Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation District, who is interested in joining a local club, said the district could offer a supplemental paddling session at the Seaside pool as well. Organizers will hold a second meeting for interested local club members the weekend of Sept. 29 and 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have a dragon boat towed down to show it to people,â&#x20AC;? said vonAhlefeld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a sense of excitement and enthusiasm here that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like not to die over the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go out and recruit your friends and family,â&#x20AC;? said Cavanagh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No experience necessary. Once we get started, Tillamook has a lot of water and Astoria has a lot of water. We might be able to (form additional coastal clubs) and race each other.â&#x20AC;? To learn more, to be added to an informational email list, or to offer use of a dock or boat storage, or to suggest a name for the local club, contact vonAhlefeld at (360) 904-3899 or windweaver@comcast.net.

Friends of NCRD find many friends at Pine Grove bingo event The Friends of North County Recreation District found many friends attending their bingo event at Pine Grove, July 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendsâ&#x20AC;? made a solid $500 at the event with proceeds from bingo and what was called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best in the westâ&#x20AC;? strawberry shortcake.

Ahh, remembering back to those summer days for kids! Even in these twilight days, I still sprayed the entire roadway with oil. While the dust problem was gone, have memories of things that hapthere was oil on just about everything pened when I was a kid. I don’t think there are many of the bunch you could imagine. It stuck to that I ran with that are still the cars tires and to your around. That gives me some shoes. Since we were not wearing many clothes, that relief from any fear that wasn’t anything to worry somebody might question what I am relating. about. I do remember the We lived in what was a smell and trying to cover my middle class home on the nose with the sheet when I went to bed. There were surely outskirts of the city. There were no sidewalks and even some great health hazards inno paving in the beginning. but we didn’t know The Old volved, The road was pretty well about them and I don’t reGeezer member anyone getting sericompacted, but with the ously ill. summer sunshine came a Walt As kids, we would usually great amount of dust. Every Trandum one complained, even play in the street and, if that though it was in the middle didn’t work, find a vacant lot of the Great Depression, that there to play our games of kick-the-can and was not enough money to fix many hide-and-seek. I still have a scar on problems. I have a vague memory of my forehead from one of those the neighbors all chipping in to get games. The kid who was doing the something done. Finally, without nokicking, did a 180 and kicked the can at my head. I still remember the game tice, a big truck would appear and it

and the guy who did it. I’m pretty sure none of those kids are still around. After dinner, we were allowed to go out to play and told to be back before dark. If we didn’t come in and she couldn’t see us, my mom would blow a whistle that could be heard around the block. In the early summer, we would go back in the house and listen to the Lone Ranger and, after that, The Shadow. I think we were lucky that there was no such thing as television. We got to listen and let our minds paint the pictures of what was happening. The Shadow was usually pretty creepy and I can remember my mom tucking me into bed and telling me not to be too upset about what we had heard that evening. She would tell me that it was all make believe. Not too sure I always believed her. There wasn’t any such thing as organized entertainment or sports for kids. We just made something up.

Running through the hose or dunking in an old washtub full of water was our relief when it got too warm. Since we were home, we got to know all the delivery people, including the postman. We were considered a rural area, so we didn’t have postal service to the door. We had a mailbox across the street with several others. The mailman was almost like a relative because he knew when it was your birthday and would give you a hearty greeting on that special day. I remember one day when the Sears catalog came and he told us how lucky he was compared to those poor guys who went door to door. One day, my mom had to mail a letter or something and didn’t have a stamp. She just taped three pennies to the letter and the deed was done. Always lurking in our minds was the fact knowing that summer wasn’t going to last forever. When we were given our yearly pair of shoes, we knew it was over. We lived about a

mile from our school and were too close to have a bus pick us up, so we walked. Since we were in Seattle, sometimes it rained. In fact, many times it did that and even snowed in the winter. Nobody had their parents drive them and I even remember starting the third grade on crutches. When I got to be a big kid, I had a bike and that took some of the pain out of getting to school. I know that we parked them all together and nobody bothered with bike locks nor worried about somebody taking them. I suppose young people get tired of hearing about the old days when your entertainment was mostly what you were imagining as you listened to the radio or thought about the movie you saw one Saturday for a dime. Maybe we are the lucky ones who can look back, remember those awesome days of summer, and compare them with the wonders we live with today.

Adventures around Manzanita… Don’t go home without one In Manzanita we often think of the peaceful long walk on the beach and we love it. Sometimes we go north to the end of the beach and that is especially nice when the tide is really low. There are beautiful tide pools with starfish and other sea life to be seen. Then, of course, there is the sand dollar hunt, trying to find the ones that the sea gull have not beaked at to get the urchin out. Some of us take the longer walk south to the north jetty Ask of the Nehalem River Janice mouth, soon discover Janice that around mid day the Gaines high pressure that brings us all that wonderful sunshine (while Cannon Beach and Seaside are fogged in), also brings the NW winds making walk back is a bit more challenging. Fortunately we are often entertained by the visuals of the kite surfers and wind surfers. They welcome the wind! What else is there to do around here? Of course, there is shopping, hot

dogs, golf, massages and just plain relaxing. That is fine, but what about an adventure, something to remember and something new to see? I have some suggestions. Lets start with the obvious and go from there.

This is the mountain that is on our north border and is part of Oswald West State Park. From the trailhead just north of town (there are two trailheads), you will climb about three miles to reach 1,680 feet. The beach below this mountain might be where the Europeans first set foot in Oregon and the tallest mountain to come straight out of the ocean in Oregon. The hike and the view is breathtaking (literally), and has been described by some as a “physical and spiritual awaking.” The trail is open all year and is pet and young people friendly. Other suggested hikes include Falcon Point and Saddle Mountain.

Hiking Neahkahnie Mountain

Crazy as it may sound; it really is

Surfing

not so hard to play in the ocean. I am not saying it is easy to get up and surf a wave but the trying part is what we are talking about, and having a story to go home with. It is easy to make this happen. Here is how it goes. There are a number of places around to rent wet suits and surf equipment, which could be a soft boogie board. In fact, our little town has Manzanita Bikes and Boards. You take yourself and your family over to Oswald West State Park, four miles north and hike down to “Shorties,” where all the surfers are. It is a beautiful walk through old growth less then a mile down to a cove beach that is somewhat protected from the NW winds. The beach is a gentle sand beach and a perfect place for beginners to play in the water. On gentle small wave days our beach is perfect for your surf adventure too. There are some very cool bike rides around here. Of course you will need to bring your bike. One of my favorites, because you don’t have to be on 101 very much, takes you up the

Cycling

south fork of the Nehalem River on a rode with hardly any traffic. Go south on 101 through Nehalem, over the bridge and then make the left on Hwy 53, go one mile to Miami Foley Road and make a right, go one mile to Foss Road and make a left. You now have a six-mile out and back trip. The road goes to gravel at a bridge, a beautiful spot to have a break; a picturesque ride! Other great rides include going up Hwy 53 to top and back. A nice climb and low traffic. Another nice ride is Miami Foley road to Garibaldi and back. Can be done as a loop if you don’t mind 101.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, Crabbing or fishing the Nehalem River

These are ways to be on the water in the river. We all know about the ocean but the river valleys that feed the ocean hold some the most awesome treasures to be experienced around here. Crabbing is fun and you can take the family! There are a number of places near by; Kelly’s Marina is one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let’s enhance budgets for healthy living

Fifty thousand visits per year. That’s right, 50,000 visits per year to our local NCRD pool. Our pool, built in 1930 and now the oldest functioning pool on the West Coast, continues to offer classes and programs from pregnant moms to the eldest of seniors and everyone in between. It is a mystery why the innocent pool would become the target of such an inaccurate and shortsighted review by Mr. Owen Nicholson (North Coast Citizen, May 31). The pool is a tremendous resource to the community, promoting health, rehabilitation, and neighborliness. By some miracle, the pool has not yet been shut down. Long past meeting current code and ADA requirements, the pool has limped along on waiver after waiver. Eventually, the grace periods will come to a halt and the health and safety of our citizens will suffer as a result. Instead of taking the low road by belittling the pool staff and NCRD for keeping the pool and its programs operating, it seems to me, we should be thankful for the work accomplished thus far in the effort to build a new pool and fully support the board and staff to that end. Bake sales and bingo just don’t cut it. We could be proud to invest in our health and safety by having a pool that is up to date, meets current codes and is available to everyone. It looks like our community has it backwards. How can it make sense that we have funded an overgrown, over-expensed fire district with private gym and flat screen TVs, and a growing parade of new vehicles that has put our community into painful debt for 25 years (early payoff notwithstanding), then turn around and scrimp on life-enhancing resources such as a pool that benefits the rest of us? Fear and terror work to persuade some and it seems to be the popular method of promoting groupthink and voter persuasion nowadays. It sure works here in north Tillamook County. Instead, a realignment of community priorities is

north coast Serving North Tillamook County since 1996 The North Coast Citizen (15503909) is published biweekly by Country Media, Inc. 1908 Second Street, P.O. Box 444, Tillamook, OR 97141

in order. If public safety is the concern, then surely programs that teach children (and grownups) water safety and swimming skills has a far greater impact on our residents and quality of life than fear-driven, bloated, moneydraining government entities. Young families are growing and older folks are using the pool in greater numbers now, too. There are few resources for year round recreation here in north county and the pool has a remarkable program for both kids and grownups all year long. Perhaps, this resource contributes to our low crime rate by directing kids toward growth-enhancing activities. Let’s reduce the budgets for services driven by fear and enhance the budgets for healthy living in a meaningful way by supporting the new pool plan. Let’s show our appreciation for the enormous effort and dedication to those who have kept the pool alive all these years. Linda Ballard Manzanita

Fire district never needed that amount in the first place

A round of applause is in order now that the fire board has a plan to pay off the $2.6 million debt early. However, one question remains, how can they speak for a board that will be in office 10 years from now? At the same time, one must ask why the board agreed to the 25-year contract that requires a minimum of 10 years of interest payouts in the first place. The reality is that the district receives permanent revenue of roughly $1,000,000 /year, increasing 3 percent annually, already. The debt could have been paid off inside 10 years easily with that kind of income. In fact, this district, NBFRD, receives more permanent revenue from its taxpayers that any fire district in the entire county, including Tillamook and Nestucca, two much larger districts. It is a shame that the community was divided last year over the actions

of the fire board. However, the proposal by the board to lower the tax rate once the debt is retired is an action that should work to heal the divide. One wonders why a permanent $1.15/thousand rate was asked for when it is clear that the district never needed that much of the taxpayer's money in the first place. Perhaps if the correct amount had been on the ballot originally, the division in the community would not have occurred. A message should be taken that when you attempt to take more taxpayer money than is needed, there will be a price to pay. Jeff Schlip Nehalem

Many thanks…

Visions of dollar signs

President Obama and his supporters naturally have every reason to be pleased by the Supreme Court's ruling on health care, while his conservative opponents seethe with futile anger. This country's highest judicial tribunal gave its approval to a rather expansive increase in the amount and size of federal intervention in the provision of medical care. In the end, rightwing

ideological adoration of "rugged individualism" proved to be nothing at all in the eyes of the court's majority. Republicans can boil with hatred to their heart's content about "Obamacare" from now on, but the argument is effectively over. Perhaps the most interesting reaction to what was decided by the Supreme Court came in the form of a great surge in the price of health care stocks. America's capitalists know a splendid money making opportunity when they see it. Obamacare essentially means that there will be at least 30 or 40 million new "customers" for the products and services churned out by the medical industry. Visions of dollar signs are dancing in the heads of many U.S. businessmen as the President's program kicks in. This profithunger trumps everything else. So it would appear that Obama had a much shrewder understanding of these things all along. Frank W. Goheen Camas, Wash.

Please, hold off on counterproductive advice

Being diagnosed with an extreme cancer has been very enlightening. I have learned from all-knowing friends that medical doctors are poorly trained in fighting cancer. They say most doctors have interest in pharmaceutical companies and profit from traditional treatments. Oncology clinics discourage alternative cures because they compete with their overpriced and ineffective procedures. Friends assure me that there are several surefire cures for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and just about everything else. Their alternative cures include, but aren’t limited to: Diatomaceous Earth, colloidal silver, Kangen water, baking soda and honey, John of God, and some Chinatown doctor. It’s curious that the same friends, unable to change their oil, unstop plumbing, or replace a light switch, can cure my cancer. Those giving medical advice to a cancer patient may be very unpopular at the celebration of

Kelly will set you up in no time at all. Fishing the Nehalem Bay is renowned, from the Chinook runs in the early fall to winter steelhead and trout. I suggest taking to some of the local marinas and getting the scoop. Kayaking the river is fantastic. You can ride the tides in the summer or wintertime while watching cormorants fishing, spot a harbor seal looking at you or grabbing Chinook while it’s heading up stream, elk on the shoreline or eagles flying overhead. You can rent kayaks at Wheeler Marina and downtown Nehalem. I am a bit bias when it comes to stand up paddle boarding since I personally love to do it and do so almost daily. Basically you are stand up paddling on a very large surfboard. It is actually really easy to do on flat, calm water and can be learned in less then an hour. Great for the body and the soul! You can take lessons from yours truly; information is available at Spa Manzanita. Also there are some folks that will be renting boards around town too. Having an adventure is good for you – take one home with you!

life of the victim who took it. Ask Steve Jobs. Oh, you can’t - he’s dead. Just what harm can well-intentioned advice do? We cancer patients, and our families, are facing a potential, extended, painful death. We’re scared, desperate, and aware of our situation every minute. We agonize. What if one of our friend’s ridiculous, untested, unproven, dangerous cures might really work? Until those freely giving their advice earn a sheepskin that reads MD, they should keep their opinions to their self. I frequently hear condemnation of traditional treatment in favor of unproven alternatives. Will someone with these beliefs, and there’s a bunch of you, please submit a rebuttal to this letter? Don’t give your name though, just in case someone actually takes your advice. Medical professionals carry expensive insurance to protect their liability. What are your consequences when someone suffers negative consequences from your dangerous, unqualified, unsolicited opinions? Family, friends, and community are overwhelmingly supportive. A very sincere “Thank you!” However, the focus of this letter is combating counterproductive advice. If you want to help people with terminal illness, just be there for them. Do not play doctor, you ain’t one. Better yet, give the patient’s caregiver a break from their responsibilities. Family members often suffer even more than the victim, but don’t get the degree of support and attention. This letter is anonymous to avoid hurting the feelings of well intentioned, albeit misguided, friends. Everybody knows someone with a terminal illness. Just assume that that they wrote this letter to you. Anonymous Editor’s note: Generally, the North Coast Citizen does not publish anonymous letters. However, the author did reveal their identity to the editor, thereby making it a legitimate letter worthy of publication.

OBITUARIES

John Collier

John Collier, born June 12, 1926, died June 18, 2012. Brother to four siblings, rider of fire trucks as a youth in Marin County, a cavalry service member in Burma during WWII, graduate of the University of California - Berkeley, geologist, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend; he was also a traveler to Alaska, Japan and Great Britain, a Jumble player and builder of simple pieces of furniture. John explored miles and miles of federal land, planting survey markers, evaluating mining claims, meeting bears and rattlesnakes along the way. He was a lover of dogs, homemade cookies, jicama, “snicky” snacks, salads from the deli and old books. John was a loyal and avid Cal Bears fan, reassuring all that the elusive Rose Bowl victory would come “next year.” Seemingly quiet and reserved, John had a quick wit and engaging sense of humor that often surprised his listeners. He relished his routines: shopping for thrift store bargains, following his daily exercise circuit, insisting on returning favors with a bottle of wine, and enjoying his single beer once every two weeks. John remained determinedly independent and was most happy at home, working in his yard as far away as possible from the hustle bustle of city crowds and traffic. Always ready to offer his seat or pull out a chair for a lady, John combined the genteel qualities of a true gentleman with the rugged stamina of a

■ CARTM From page 1

Sharon Daye of Nehalem has been recycling for over 25 years and at age 76 appreciated being able to bring her small amounts of trash to CARTM each week, both for the economy and so she wouldn't have to lift heavy loads. “I recycle everything I possibly can,” said Daye. “I've been coming to CARTM for 11 years and have seen it improve 100 percent over the years. I’ve just returned from a trip back east and they have nothing like CARTM – we are way ahead of them.” Daye says that even with the new minimum, she has no intention of going to curbside garbage because of the high monthly charge. “I’m going to have to change the way I do things. I’ll probably get a garbage can to put my smaller bags in to take to CARTM, but $3 per bag isn’t that much to pay.” Other Zero Heroes also recycle or compost everything they can and take small amounts of trash to CARTM. Steve and Sherri Davis, who relocated to the area from Battleground, Washington, said that they have never found another organization to compare to CARTM’s services or having the convenience of the resale store so close by to purchase household items and fittings for projects. Jim and Bonnie Johnson said that although they would

lifelong outdoors man. He was a salt of the earth kind of guy, quiet, yet steadfast. He touched the lives of all who knew him. A gathering to celebrate John’s life will be held in Manzanita on Saturday, August 18.

Ruth Eleanor Shreeve

Ruth Eleanor Shreeve was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on February 26, 1935 to William and Sarah (Melhus) Hoyman and died at her home in Manzanita on June 27, 2012, at the age of 77. Ruth grew up in Fargo, North Dakota. After high school, she attended Iowa State University for three years, before finishing her schooling at North Dakota State University where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in teaching. She taught school for one year before being united in marriage to Stanley E. Shreeve on January 24, 1958 in Great Falls, Montana. Together they followed Stan’s career through the United States Air Force, and ended up in Sandy, Oregon in 1975. The couple retired to Manzanita in 1989. Ruth’s passion was art and she was very skilled at and loved painting. She worked with oils and acrylics, and mostly painted colorful outdoor scenes. She found pleasure in giving many of them away as gifts, and some of her paintings are still on display around the Manzanita area. She was a dedicated member of the Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita and leaves behind her loving family to honor her life: husband Stanley Shreeve, of Manzanita; daughters Sara J. Clemons, of Boise, and Sandy Colton, of North Powder, Ore.; sisters Jan Palmeter (and husband Earl), of Snoqualmie, Wash., and Karen Butler, also of Snoqualmie; grandchildren Elise Clemons, Terah Clemons, Peter Colton, Alexandra Colton, and Isaac Colton; and her

typically bring in twenty-five cent bags of trash they would always donate more than that on their periodic trips to CARTM and underscored that CARTM “is a great service.” Other, more shy Zero Heroes who did not want their names used in the press, said that the $3 minimum is making them up the ante on their already strong recycling habits. CARTM is offering a free biodegradable bag in exchange for one that when filled is worth $3 of trash. These bags, unlike regular plastic bags that take hundreds or up to 1,000 years to decompose, will decompose in a landfill in 12 to 24 months. The bags are a trial study to see if they are sturdy enough to not rip or tear in transport. CARTM’s staff is reporting that some people are already changing their habits and many are using the new $3 bags. “We trust our community to come up with innovative household systems and strategies in response to recycling technology and industry changes,” said Hamilton. “We're watching for innovative systems people have created, and passing along that information to our other customers. We are always looking to our community to help us learn, grow and change for the better.” Larry Kizer, of Neahkahnie, doesn't like to see a minimum as he feels it detracts from CARTM’s zero waste mission, but he understands the reason for it and the need for it. “I like the idea of the $3 bag of trash… it’s a great idea,”

aunt, Janet E. Wallin, of Ames, Iowa. A memorial service was held July 3, 2012 at Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita. Those who wish to make memorial contributions in Ruth’s name may do so to the Calvary Bible Church. Arrangements are in care of Waud’s Funeral Home.

Darrel Ludtke

Darrel Louis Ludtke was born March 31, 1950 in Tillamook to Walter and Pearl (Duerfeldt) Ludtke and died June 28, 2012 in Eugene, at the age of 62. Darrel was a graduate of Neah-KahNie High School and Clatsop Community College. He married Jeannine Ferol Bigham in Nehalem. Darrel worked several jobs including drilling wells, logging and heavy equipment operation. He also worked several years as a boiler operator. He loved to go to NHRA races in LasVegas and to the drag races in Woodburn. He loved hard work. Darrel was known to be stubborn at times and wanting things done his way. He worked hard and played harder at times. He would give the shirt off his back or do anything for anybody. Anyone whose lives have been touched by this wonderful man will forever hold them in their hearts for lost was an amazing friend, father and grandpa. Darrel is survived by two sons, Dale Ludtke, of Dubai, and Chance Ludtke, of Eugene; two grandchildren, Jordan Ludtke and Cayden Ludtke, of Eugene; one brother, Glenn Ludtke of Portland, Ore.; and one cousin Gene Starr of Nehalem. Interment was held at Nehalem American Legion Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Chance Ludtke at 1699 N. Terry St., Space 241, Eugene, OR 97402. Arrangements in care of Waud’s Funeral Home, Tillamook.

said Kizer. “I am a CARTM regular and recycle at least three times a month.” Other shy Zero Heroes talked about the problem of having food waste attracting pests in residential areas and hope that CARTM begins a composting program to deal with this issue. “CARTM is continuing to listen to our customers and to work with these issues,” said Hamilton. “Having to create a $3 minimum was in direct response to our community being such great recyclers. It seems counter intuitive to institute a minimum, but the fact is trash is one of our revenue streams

By Josiah Darr For the Citizen

For the first time in either school’s history, the Nestucca and Neah-KahNie baseball teams have joined forces to create a summer ball team. The Bobcats and Pirates hope the extra summer games will make both teams stronger come next season. So far this summer, the Neah-Stucca Phillies have racked up two wins and two losses after sweeping Benson High School and being swept by Lincoln High. The game schedule this summer has been sporadic, with rain outs and random games, but head coach and Neah-Kah-Nie Athletic Director Leo Lawyer is staying in touch via text message, hoping to get enough players to come out when the field is playable. “I'm tired of losing to Knappa,” Lawyer said. “I'm completely serious! The number one thing that is preventing us from winning more baseball games the last few years is lack of field time and experience. So Ken Richwine and I put this team together in hopes of getting the kids more time of the field and more games like Knappa always does.” Lawyer has taken the helm for the Phillies this season, and he’s been extremely happy with not only his own players, but the Bobcats, too. “All the Nestucca kids have been really respectful and are very business-like in their approach. They're

here to play,” Lawyer said. “Jacob Menefee and Joey Chatelain have been very good Bobcat contributors so far this summer. Heck, Menefee hit one of the deepest balls I've seen a kid hit all season. Austin Woods has also caught really well for this team and Brian Anderson has done a great job pitching.” The Neah-Kah-Nie players have been making some huge strides as well. Lawyer complimented Cade Hasenoehrl on making one of the prettiest defensive plays he’s seen in years. “Cade turned the first 46-3 double play in five or six years by a Pirate,” Lawyer said. “It was all Pirate players involved in the play and it was so smooth and perfect. I loved it!” Lawyer is also making some developmental moves to help his team next year. “Brad Watson is training this summer to be our everyday catcher next season, and these extra games are allowing us to do that. I also have been able to bring up Cam Kelly and Tristan Fields. They will be freshmen in the program next year and are pushing themselves to compete for a varsity spot next season, and I've been able to give Austin Buckmeier a chance to come off his wrist surgery and get ready for next year. He has looked great.” Josiah Darr is the sports editor for the Headlight Herald, the sister newspaper of the Citizen.

COMMUNITY NEWS BRIEFS

Nehalem artists share the walls at Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ in July Only three years ago, the Oregon coast was just a dream for Nehalem artist/musician John Freethy. He was living in Maine, owned a guitar store, and was teaching lessons to as many as 45 students per week. The West Coast was calling him so a five-day vacation to Oregon to look for possible areas to relocate to was quickly planned. On day two, there was a stop at an art gallery in a quiet little town. Driving south from Nehalem, he joked that it would be funny if he ended up moving to this town, which was remembered as where Charlie (the adorable art gallery guard dog) lived. A few months later, John closed up his business, piled his belongings in the back of his pickup and headed west, aiming for Oregon. Either by chance, luck, or destiny, he ended up in Nehalem, only a few blocks up the hill from Charlie and Art Happens, owned by Bonnie Speer. For the month of July, John and Bonnie will share the walls at Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ in Wheeler as the Artists of the Month. John will be showing linoleum block prints, all carved since his move to Oregon, which was in order to start anew and focus on his artistic and musical creations. Bonnie Speer, owner of Art Happens in Nehalem, will be showing paintings on plaster-covered canvas featuring rich, vibrant colors. Bonnie was born and raised in Southern California and spent most of her young years in the art colony of Laguna Beach. Art was always a part of her life, however, at that time she did not create art or consider herself an artist. After moving to the South and opening her own framing gallery she finally envisioned herself becoming an artist. She always considered framing her art, but now paints on a regular basis and shows around Tillamook County. The show will be on display for the month of July at Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ, in the Old Wheeler Hotel on Highway 101 in Wheeler. Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. An artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception will be held on Thursday, July 12, 4 to 5:30 p.m.

The DSL rules will establish site boundaries and regulate seafloor uses that require state authorization or a removal-fill permit, including the harvest of subtidal kelp.

Writing workshops offered Creative Journeys with Gail Balden will continue her 2012 Summer Series of one-day creative writing workshops at the Center for Contemplative arts in Manzanita with two dates scheduled: July 21, Another Look - Master the art of your craft whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiction, narrative nonfiction, or short-shorts. Learn to kill your darlings, tighten, get to the heart of the story, and be able to give and receive constructive critique. Letting go of your work is just as important as getting started. August 18, Sharing with the World - This workshop will foster the idea of starting small when it comes to putting your work into the world. Writers have more opportunities than ever to share their work through e-books, zines, e-readers and on-demand publishing. Workshops meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and cost $50 each. Class size is limited to a small group. To reserve a space in each class, send a $30 deposit (50 percent of which is nonrefundable if student cancels) to Gail Balden, 41500 Anderson Road, Nehalem, OR, 97131.

State invites public comment on marine reserve The Oregon Departments of Fish and Wildlife and State Lands have proposed administrative rules for the newly-designated marine reserve sites at Cape Perpetua, Cascade Head and Cape Falcon, and will be asking for comments during a series of public meetings in June. The draft rules are available for

Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber announced that the state is creating a task force to deal with the influx of debris from the Japanese tsunami on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches. The newly created Oregon Tsunami Debris Task force will be an interagency team consisting of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which has authority over the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches, the Department of Environmental Quality and Office of Emergency Management. The task force formation is a response to events like the dock washing up on Agate Beach on June 4 and cities like Manzanita and Cannon Beach reporting that the amount of small debris on their beaches increased since the beginning of the year. At the task forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first meeting they arranged for there to be a single phone number that people can call to report marine debris to. State Senator Betsy Johnson emphasized the importance of having a single number for people to call at a meeting about tsunami debris in Cannon Beach in June. Without a single number, she said, people would call 911 to report debris. The hotline for marine debris went live on June 29, a day after the task force was announced. People who would like to report marine debris can reach the hotline at 1-800-SAFE-NET (1800-723-3638). Deborah Boone, a state representative for parts of Tillamook and Clatsop County, was appointed to the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that the devastating after-effects of the tsunami in Japan are touching the Oregon coast, it is more important than ever to be prepared,â&#x20AC;? said Boone, of Cannon Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effort to make the Oregon coast better prepared to handle ocean debris is critical to the future of our environment.â&#x20AC;? Chris Havel, of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, said that tsunami debris was not a reason to avoid the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no reason to believe that this is going to be anything overwhelming. People may think the beaches are in bad shape. They are not,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working the make sure the word is out that the Oregon beach is a wonderful place to visit.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Havel said the parks and recreation department would work with people to organize beach cleanups if it becomes necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These beach cleanups usually help encourage tourism,â&#x20AC;? he said. Havel said that for the parks and recreation department the biggest issue is funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can not afford to spend $80,000 or $100,000 to deal with the tsunami debris. We know who to call to react, but paying for the reaction is the big problem.â&#x20AC;? Havel said that the newly formed task force

Foam debris, as seen here, is increasingly common on Oregon beaches. Foam like this is often used as insulation in buildings and vehicles. will help obtain funding for cleanup activities, which is how parks and recreation will be able to afford to react. At an intra-agency meeting in Cannon Beach, U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici said she would work to obtain federal funding to help with tsunami debris cleanup. She also recently issued a joint letter, with 28 other legislators in coastal states, to the Coast Guard asking them to clarify how they would respond to large pieces of tsunami debris. The letter states that the legislators would like to know why the dock was allowed to wash ashore at Agate Beach, when they were able to sink a boat washed to Alaska by the tsunami before it could arrive at the coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given this inconsistency, please provide us with the criteria that the Coast Guard uses to determine when it will take decisive and effective action,â&#x20AC;? said the letter. While the task force and federal government will have roles in the financing the disposal of debris, volunteers will likely pick much of the smaller debris up. SOLVE, which organizes beach cleanups in Oregon, said they will organize additional beach cleanups on their website. Oregon Parks and Recreation announced on June 29 that it was establishing 32 drop-offs locations for debris collected on the beach. Debris dropped off at the collection locations must be in official SOLVE bags, which can be picked up at any state park or transfer station in an Oregon coastal county. Some of the drop off locations for SOLVE bags include Fort Stevens State Park, the Clatsop County Transfer Station, Nahelem Bay State Park, the Tillamook Transfer Station, Cape Lookout State Park, and North Lincoln Sanitary Service Recycling Center. 2012. OBK also has supported Friends of Pimpollo, a Salembased organization supporting children and their families in southern Mexico; and the relocation of two families displaced by Hurricane Katrina to the Pacific Northwest, including the support for a family member to receive a teaching degree at OSU.

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 multicourse catered dinner, and live auction.

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. For information on purchasing tickets, becoming a sponsor, or making a donation for the auction, contact board member Camy Von Seggern at (503) 368-4599 or at camyfam@nehalemtel.net, or board member Gail Young at (503) 368-5248 or at gailmyoung@mac.com.

Special thanks go to the Manzanita Public Works Department for site preparation, the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District for safety support, and especially Western Display Fireworks for putting on another exciting show. Our security teams – provided by the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay – kept the grounds secure. The fundraising team kept that effort going throughout the weeks leading up to (and through) the 4th. Stewart Martin shot a bunch of great photographs. Finally, kudos go to the Kiwanis Club of Manza-Whee-Lem and Boy Scout Troop 148, their families and friends, for cleaning up around the firing pit the next morning. They did a great job!

If wrong foods to avoid for picnics; foods that will spoil, foods the lettuce mix touches the dressing it gets all “wilty.” So, that are meant to be very cold, dressing in first, then use a or piping hot, since you can hearty veggie like shredded rarely guarantee either; and cabbage, carrots or peapods foods that require labor-intennext.

Stay away from these cucumber, nuts, cheese, cherry foods and you will find your tomatoes, apple chunks tossed outdoor meals much more re-

in lemon juice, black olives, berries and sprouts. (Avocados don’t work too well in this mix.) Think color and flavors. Then, when you are ready, just dump your salad out of the jar on a plate and voila, a perfectly portable salad. Use your imagination on this one, but here are a few examples to get you going. One of my favorite combinations. In this order in the jar are: a raspberry vinaigrette with peapods, shredded carrots, chopped hazelnuts, strawberries, finely diced red onions, feta cheese and spinach. A Caesar salad jar would go together something like this: Caesar salad dressing, shredded carrots, diced celery, chunks of grilled chicken breast or salad shrimp, green onion, parmesan cheese, and Romaine. (Skip the croutons or bring them along in

a separate baggie. They get all mushy in the jar.) Cobb salad in the jar: red wine vinaigrette, celery, red cabbage, fresh corn kernels, red bell pepper, red onion, boiled eggs, bacon bits, chopped ham, grilled chicken breast and romaine. If you want avocado, bring a whole one and cut it up on the salad right before you eat it. And, of course, we must have Salad Nicoise: lemon vinaigrette, blanched green beans, boiled red potatoes, nicoise olives or any black olive, red onion, tablespoon of capers, hard boiled eggs, canned tuna and salad mix. Easy, squeezy. Toss one cup of cashews, a splash of soy sauce, and few

More picnic options

cloves of garlic and enough water to get it going in the food processor and process until almost smooth. Add in chopped cilantro and chives, or green onions, until mixed. Spread on celery sticks and go. Better than peanut butter! Halve cherry tomatoes and toss with finely chopped basil, fresh mozzarella that is cut into bite-sized chunks and drizzle with olive oil. Store in a glass jar or plastic container to take to your picnic. Lightly steam a bunch of veggies like asparagus, green beans and carrot sticks and serve with your favorite dip. Or puréed jarred roasted red peppers with feta, marjoram or oregano and parsley, olive oil and garlic for the dip. Nom nom. Try fresh skewers. Grill chicken breast, tofu or a nice steak then cut into bite-sized pieces. Skewer on bamboo skewers with fresh cherry tomatoes, pineapple and cucumbers. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Make chicken teriyaki and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Make chicken salad out of it by mixing with mayo, small splash of soy sauce, pineapple chunks, cilantro, grated fresh ginger, red onion and almonds. Eat straight or make into wraps with romaine lettuce and pepperjack cheese. Slice open a good baguette

and fill it with chopped or shredded cooked chicken or pork tossed with fish sauce, chili, sugar, lime, garlic, scallions and Thai basil (or, in a dire emergency, regular). Make an antipasti loaf. Get a round loaf of sourdough bread, cut off the top and scoop out most of the insides and give to the birds. Layer roughly in this order, assorted cold cuts like ham, salami, roast beef, thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, a little olive oil, jarred-roasted red peppers, steamed long strips of zucchini, a little olive oil, red wine vinegar and dried Italian herbs, a little garlic powder or sautéed chopped garlic, red onions sliced thin more mozzarella and fresh arugula. Make sure and fill to the top. Put the lid on, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and set in the fridge for one to 24 hours. Slice like a pie at the picnic and serve with fresh cherry tomatoes. Bake your favorite brownie or cheesecake in the small onecup jars. After they are cool, top with a berry jam and fresh berries and put the lid on. Portable heaven.

The Hoffman Center crackled with the energy of repurposed creativity the evening of July 5 – opening night of the 14th Annual Trash Art Show. The occasion marked the first time the show wasn’t held at CARTM, also in Manzanita, where it originated as a way to highlight the many uses of what would otherwise be considered garbage. The show, which featured 44 artists and more than 100 works of art, continued at the Hoffman Center through July 8. It was a fundraiser for the Hoffman Center and CARTM, both nonprofit organizations. All trash art in the 14th annual exhibition—
