It was the first time Vietnam veteran Mike Scott had ever talked to a group about his wartime experience. On the other hand, WWII veteran Owen Nicholson has spoken of his experience on more than one occasion.

WWII and the Vietnam War stand in stark contrast to each other – two different generations, two very different wars.

That was the message the two longtime residents of Manzanita delivered to students at Neah-KahNie middle and high schools the Friday before Veterans’ Day in presentations to eight classes. It was a full day, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at NKN Middle School. By the time Scott and Nicholson finished with presentations to 50 to 60

Relieved.

That’s how Peter Nunn, general manager of the North County Recreation District, said he felt following the Nov. 5 election in which the NCRD five-year local option levy passed by 265 votes.

“The great thing was that the voters have endorsed the district with the same majority we had originally when the district was formed,” said Nunn. “They see NCRD still as a viable and valuable resource.”

Returns, still unofficial at this time, showed 898 in favor, in the four precincts north of Nedonna Beach, and 633 against the measure (59 percent to 41 percent). The percentage plurality was nearly the same as it was in 1996 when the district was first formed. Voters, then, approved NCRD’s formation with 58.8 percent of the voters

A process, ten years in the making, came to a conclusion, pretty much, at a special meeting of the Manzanita City Council Tuesday evening.

Doctor, now living on the Oregon coast, recounts autopsy

By Jeremy C. Ruark For the Citizen

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963 shook the nation and triggered talk of conspiracy for years. Dr. Jay Cox, today living in Depoe Bay, was the Officer of the Day at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland on the day of the assassination and when President Kennedy’s body was brought there for the autopsy.

“I was a young resident in my second year and as Officer of the Day I was in charge of the entire hospital,” said Cox. “I was the first one informed that Kennedy’s body was being sent to our hospital.”

According to Cox, while Air Force One was leaving Dallas following the assassination, the President’s physician asked Jackie Kennedy, the President’s wife, where she wanted the autopsy performed and she selected Bethesda.

“The corpsman on duty got the call and he ran down to the hospital cafeteria, where we were all eating supper, to inform me that the body of the President was coming to our facility,” said Cox. “At that point my job was to assemble the medical team and get things ready to go. After that, it was out of my hands.”

Doctors at the hospital in Dallas tried to revive President Kennedy, but they didn’t plan to do the autopsy, according to Cox. “When they knew the President was dead, they packaged him up and sent to him to Air Force One,” said Cox. “There had been no initial communication between Dallas hospital doctors and those at Bethesda about the wounds suffered by the President.”

Cox said he witnessed the entire autopsy.

“When we got the President in the room and undressed for the autopsy all you saw was the head wound,” said Cox. “Every-

“Kids just aren’t taught this,” said the 89-year-old Nicholson, citing the importance of students hearing firsthand the experiences of

wartime veterans.

A few years back, Nicholson and another WWII veteran, Lyle Woodward, now deceased, did a similar exercise before students at Tillamook High School. As for Scott, it was his first time speaking to students or anyone else for that matter about Vietnam.

Dinner theater returns to the Tsunami Grill in November The Riverbend Players are at it again with their version of ‘Check Please’

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Having enjoyed great success with their first dinner theater production last spring, the Riverbend Players are at it again, this time with a new production, “Check Please.” The Jonathan Rand comedy features longtime members of the theater group, Brian McMahon and Michael Dinan, in their directing debut.

With a cast of 12, Dinan and McMahon agree that directing the play during rehearsals has been somewhat challenging. “It’s the first time for both of us,” said Dinan. “Scheduling and getting everyone together has been the biggest challenge, but it should be a good show.

Says McMahon, “I’m kind of a blunt guy…you need to be a good communicator and diplomatic.

Just because you talk a lot, doesn’t make you a good communicator. We‘re directing adults and everyone has their own opinions, which can be helpful, but can make it more challenging from a director’s point of view.”

The show runs for two weekends: November 15 16 and 22 – 23, and will be held at the Tsunami Grill at 380 Marine Dr., in Wheeler.

In “Check Please,” the Riverbend Players stir up long-suppressed memories about the dating game gone spectacularly wrong as they explore what happens when people who should not occupy the same planet are forced into the intimacy of a blind date. There is the couple that makes a beautiful cosmic connection, not surprising, since they are first cousins. Then, there is Jackie Guy’s online friend, in person, she still communicating exclusively in capital letters. Dan, the movie-

Dr. Donna has multiple personalities each with their own extensive cell phonebooks. If that’s not enough, Cleo, the psychic, reads feet. (“My dear, anyone can read palms,” she maintains.) Add a pirate to the mix and you’ve got the makings for a very entertaining and funny play, say the directing duo.

In addition to McMahon and Dinan, who both admit they prefer acting to directing, the diverse cast of characters includes veterans Sedona Torres, Linda Olsson, Candace Nelson, Dick Huneke, Marilyn Karr, Ted Weissbach and Janet Robinson, along with newcomers Mike Scott, Judy Holmes and Mike Sims.

“I haven’t been in a play since high school,” said Scott, “and that was 50 years ago.”

“People should come just to see Mike Sims, It’s his first time and he’s a real ham,” said Dinan. “It’ll be fun for the audience to see

that side of him.”

McMahon agrees that the addition of the Manzanita City Councilor Scott and Police Officer Sims has generated more interest among locals. “I’m sure we’ll see more people that have never taken in a (Riverbend Players) play previously,” said McMahon.

“It’s community theater and we’re always on the lookout to get new people involved, along with having a lot of fun…that’s are main goal,” Dinan added.

Doors open at 5:30 for cocktail hour and dinner is served at 6:30, with the performance beginning at 7:30. Cost for an evening of dining and entertainment is just $25 in advance, and $30 at the door.

Seating is limited, and based on the popularity of the inaugural dinner theater production earlier this year, both Dinan and McMahon are expecting sellouts for all four shows. Reservations can be made by calling the Tsunami Grill at (503) 3683778.

Manzanita Farmers’ Market to stay at present location

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Having toyed with the idea of moving the Manzanita Farmers’ Market from its present location at the Kamali/Sotheby Real Estate parking lot at the corner of Fifth St. and Laneda Ave., the market’s board of directors has opted to stay put.

“A lot of it had to do Farzahn Kamali. He wanted to send a clear message to the community that he is a big supporter of the market and that he wants it to stay where it’s at,” said Laura Swanson, who has served as general manager of the market the past several years.

Earlier this spring, the seven-year-old farmers’ market

was approached by the City of Manzanita about the possibility of staging the event at the city’s public parking lot across from what was once the Manzanita Fire Station on Fifth St. The site would have allowed the market to add up to 15 more vendors; something Swanson and farmers’ market board members were excited about at the time.

There were, however, a few logistical issues, which needed to be addressed. The fire station is also home to the Manzanita Police Department and just a few feet away is the bus stop for the Tillamook County Transportation District, bringing up the issue of accessibility for local police and the bus.

The “biggie,” however, was electrical power to the proposed

parking lot site. Aided by a grant from Tillamook PUD, all vendors at the Kamali site have ready access to electrical power. Not so at the city-owned parking lot. In addition, the market currently enjoys the shared use of Kamali’s outdoor storage area, which has proven invaluable.

In a survey of its vendors, they were fairly evenly split, according to Swanson about the possibility of moving. However, more vendors meant more competition, which was problematic for some. Most were convinced that bigger wasn’t necessarily better, said Swanson. “This is really best for all concerned. The Kamali site is so conducive and perfect for a farmers’ market,” she said.

Coupled with the addition of extra space along Fifth Ave. three years ago bordering the parking lot, the market, with the blessing of property owners along that portion of the street, was able to add more booths and relieve congestion.

With room for 35 vendors, up from a couple of dozen before the “annexation” of that portion of Fifth St., the market is just the right size it seems, according to patrons who were surveyed along with vendors following the market’s seasonal closure in midSeptember. The overwhelming response, said Swanson was “We love it…don’t change a thing,” which is exactly the advice the market board decided to follow.

With the blessing of Farzahn Kamali, owner of Kamali/Sotheby International Realty in Manzanita, the Manzanita Farmers Market is staying put at its present location.

Ave.

From page 1 Coast Cabins. In a trade-off with Coast Cabins, the design allows for a bump-out in front of one of the cabins to allow greater space between it and the street. Owners of the garage have indicated their intent to “cut back” the portion of it that intrudes into the right-of-way.

Ten years ago the city installed sidewalks and repaved Laneda Ave., leaving the eastern portion of the street from Division St. to US 101 untouched. Money, or the lack of it, along with other “problems,” was the main issue.

That portion of Laneda is still a county-owned road, which after improvements, will be transferred to the City of Manzanita. Liane Welch, Tillamook County Public Works director, in attendance, said her department notified property owners in May 2014 and subsequently met with them to resolve issues associated with the project.

As part of the project, trees and large pieces of wood were placed in the stream via helicopter. Trees, donated by Longview Timber, were picked up and then transported to the stream system where biologists and others were on hand to guide their placement.

The project includes a number of objectives to enhance wildlife along Jack Horner Creek, Smith says.

LNWC received funding earlier to restore the creek, which is a tributary to the North Fork Nehalem River.

The system lacked large wood debris in the creek and, as a result, the stream had little or no gravel and was scoured to bedrock in

many locations. The creek also had limited connectivity with the flood plain.

Adult fish need gravel to spawn, and adults and young fish need assess to the flood plain during high winter flows to rest and find safety from the current. Without it, they will expend energy and be pushed down the system before they are ready.

Additionally, as part of the project, access was opened to a pond that formed in a relic stream channel near the confluence of Jack Horner Creek and Soapstone Creek and which was blocked by a logging road. The outlet the pond was enhanced with large wood structures. Opening

“There were issues, certainly on the north side, but we reached a compromise,” said Welch, who noted that property owners must have been satisfied with the process as she didn’t see any of them in the audience, including representatives from Columbia Bank.

In the case of the bank, the right-of-way is right on the edge of the pond, Taylor explained. “Engineers have proposed and arch to protect the pond,” he noted. In the final design, two large boulders that are part of the pond will have to be removed, along with a pine tree. The sidewalk along that area would be reduced from six feet in width to four feet to leave the pond undisturbed as much as possible.

In public testimony, members of the audience spoke passionately about keeping the pond intact and retaining the positive impression the bank building and its landscaping have as visitors enter Manzanita. In that same vein, Mike Cook asked if city officials had been thinking of the east end of Laneda as a “gateway” to

the community. “This is an opportunity to address the entry into our town,” he said.

“The reconfiguration of the street and probable design change of the pond in front of Columbia Bank puts our towns welcoming entrance at risk,” stated Gary Seelig. “It would be an enormous error to remove any aspect of this harmonious building from Laneda Ave.” In a letter to the Manzanita City Council, Tom Bender, architect of the bank building, requested that the city not alter the sidewalks, parking, tree, rocks and pond in front of the Columbia Bank as proposed.

“I feel that the expenditure of significant funds ($5,000+?) to remove or alter paving, drainage, sidewalks, tree, rocks, pond, etc. in front of the Columbia Bank is a waste of public funds and a detrimental destruction of a pleasing introduction into the City of Manzanita,” Bender stated.

Possible remedies included sacrificing the two parking spaces in front of the bank and create another bump-out leaving the pond intact. Vivi

Tallman, a bank customer, said she often parked in front of the building, but noted, “I could be retrained.”

“The parking spaces in front of the bank are used a lot,” said Councilor Mike Scott.

“We need input from Columbia Bank before we consider taking away those parking spaces.”

When asked if the parking spots in front of the bank were “flexible,” Taylor said they were, but that a decision to alter the design would have to be made soon to stay on track.

Currently, the city is looking at completing the project prior to the 2014 tourist season, with a call for bids going out in January.

“We need to provide a sidewalk in the interest of public safety as people move up and down Laneda,” said Mayor Garry Bullard prior to the council’s vote. “This project has been going on for ten years.

It’s still a work in progress and it can be tweaked, but it’s the right thing to do and in the public’s interest.”

the pond to fish is extremely important, according to LNWC officials, as these types of habitats are very rare and serve as a fattening pen and refuge for young fish.

The Jack Horner Creek project was made possible through grants and in-kind donations from ODFW, OWEB, TEP, ODOT, Longview Timber, Teevin Brothers, BioSurveys, Columbia Helicopter and

is collected and new mutations are identified. The World Health Organization (WHO) is responsible for selecting three strains that they believe will continue to circulate and from this point the development and production of the vaccine begins.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states: “An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get the seasonal flue and spread it to others.” Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body about two weeks after vaccination.

These antibodies provide protection against infections with the viruses that are in the vaccine.

There has been strong disagreement ever since vaccinations were introduced in the 18th century. The first arguments against this practice of inoculations was religious based, with many arguing that diseases were sent by God to punish sin and that any attempt to prevent them was seen as a “diabolical operation.” Now, many sectors of the population present worthy arguments against vaccines. Reasons vary from vaccines being dangerous, non-effective and there is the issue of individual liberty.

Unfortunately, there are studies that show the performance of the flu vaccine in healthy adults is not producing the kind of results that the WHO and CDC hopes for, but, even with marginal results, the public health organizations continue to push for widespread influenza vaccinations as the most effective means of prevention. The debate will go on for years, so it comes down for each of us to make up our own mind about whether to get that shot – or not.

Letters to the Editor A fantastic season!

What a fantastic season for the Waterhouse Falls Coho Salmon Project. A giant thank you to all who participated!

As many of you know, the fish showed up in a grand fashion this year. It started out with a huge bounty of Albacore Tuna from the Oregon Tuna Classic.

Again, this year, we were able to provide fresh salmon filets to The Nehalem Bay House and Kilchis House assisted living homes, as well as canned fish to our usual recipients - local food banks, and the Nestucca Valley Children’s Backpack Program.

Based on the unexpected amount of fish, our fiscal resources were stretched for canning. We were able to send a portion of our tuna and salmon filets to Meals on Wheels in Portland, thanks to connections with Brian Rohter and Eileen Brady, strong supporters of the effort.

Also new, this year, was the incredible service provided by our new friends at Skipanon Brand Seafoods. Owner Mark Kujala and company processed 5,058 8-ounce cans at cost, al-

lowing us to handle way more volume. A big thanks to Mark and his great team.

Our fish hauling team was stellar and never missed a beat.

Back-up haulers were ready and stepped in at a moment’s notice when needed. Approximately 540 fish were taken from the Waterhouse Falls trap to the Tillamook Bay Boathouse. Nice work you all! Dave Stephens, thanks for the idea of housing the coolers and key at Manzanita Lumber.

Laura Swanson deserves major credit. Laura stepped in as team leader and was key to this year’s organization on all levels including fundraising.

A big thank you also goes out to Joe Watkins ODFW at the North Fork Nehalem River Fish Hatchery for providing us with some of their overflow of fish; 300 extra Coho were donated to us.

Derek Wiley and his team at the Waterhouse Falls Fish Trap were tuned in perfectly, per usual, with the added challenge this year of negotiating the unusual amount of log truck and gravel truck traffic this year.

Thanks Derek, Aaron and team

for all you do.

None of this would be possible without the participation and full commitment of our good friend Darus Peake and his partners at the Tillamook Bay Boat House.

Darus and Co. really pulled out the stops this season with a massive amount of fish to deal with.

He brought in Skipanon Brand to help and the Boathouse, itself, took on literally tons of tuna and salmon.

A big tip of the hat to our Neah-Kah-Nie High School faculty and students for their help and organization with design, labeling and distribution of this year’s bounty in a timely fashion.

Kudos to Steve Albrechtsen and Beth Gienger for keeping this ship on course.

Lots of other great help this year – Gene Dieken with making www.smileybrothers.org website a reality; Peggy Campbell with helping with creation of the website; Eileen and Brian Rohter, of New Seasons, for helping connect us with a number of grant opportunities; and friends, neighbors and businesses that contributed funds to help offset the costs of processing, canning

Bottom line – this year, 6,858 cans of fish was processed for our local food banks and the Backpack Program, and 3,620 pounds of salmon filets were delivered to local assisted living centers and Meals on Wheels; that’s approximately 28,200 protein meal portions to folks in need.

NCRD Board expresses its thanks for your support On behalf of the North County Recreation District Board of Directors, I would like to thank the voters of north Tillamook County for their support in the recent ballot measure to continue the existing local option tax for another five years.

This resounding endorsement demonstrated the same majority support that originally formed the recreation district in 1996.

The result of this election enables the district to continue at the same level of services that we provide today, continuing to enhance the quality of life for all ages. We can continue to promote health, provide therapy, and enrich the lives of young and old alike. We can continue to teach our children to swim.

And, we can continue to maintain this valuable community asset.

Again, thank you!

Kiwanis plan Bingo Night Nov. 16 The Kiwanis Club of Manza-Whee-Lem will host its annual “Best of North County” Family Bingo Night Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita. The event will feature 15 games and is open to all ages.

Prizes will include merchandise, services and gift certificates provided by area businesses.

Proceeds from the games will be used for Kiwanis service projects that benefit local children.

Manzanita Writers Series present author Christopher Lord Nov. 16 Christopher Lord will read from his latest novel, “The Edwin Drood Murders,” at the Hoffman Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16.

This is the second in Lord’s series of mysteries Christopher Lord set in the fictional Oregon town of Dickens Junction. Dickens Junction is a small town in Oregon, populated with eccentric, some may say Dickensian, characters.

The most normal of these seems to be Simon Alastair, antiquarian book dealer and part time sleuth. As he attempts to convince his boyfriend Zach to move in with him, he is also organizing the latest convention of Droodians – enthusiasts of Dickens’ last, unfinished work. Of course, there is a murder to complicate matters.

Christoper Lord was born in Astoria and now lives in Portland with his partner of 20 years and their Devon Rex, Miss Corey, the inspiration for Simon’s Miss Tox. Lord started collecting volumes of the Centennial Edition of Dickens’s work at age 14.

Following Lord’s reading and Q&A, Open Mic will feature up to nine local writers, reading five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $7.

The events are programs of the Hoffman Center and will be held at the Hoffman Center, across from Manzanita Library, at 594 Laneda Ave. Further information is available at hoffmanblog. org online or contact Vera Wildauer, vwildauer@gmail.com.

Holly Lorincz, a published author, nationally recognized speaking coach, and a publishing consultant with one of the top literary agencies in the United States, MacGregor Literary, is offering a one-day workshop on Saturday, Nov. 16, for all the writers in the area who want Holly Lorincz to practice talking to an audience. Her seminar, entitled AUTHOR> SPEAKER, will be at the Hoffman Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and costs $59. At 7 p.m. on the same evening, the Hoffman Center is hosting an Open Mic, directly after writer Christopher Lord reads from his works.

AUTHOR>SPEAKER will focus on the three marketing elements that authors, peering out from their writing cave, would rather avoid: the pitch appointment, the radio/tv/newspaper interview, or the public readings.

Lorincz has been in the hot seat herself. She successfully pitched her novel at writing workshops and now has an agent and her book is on the desk of various publishers. She also has been on the other side of the hot seat, as the literary agent rep listening to book proposal pitches. As part of her job at MacGregor Literary, Lorincz works with authors to prepare their manuscripts and pitches.

If you are interested in the AUTHOR>SPEAKER workshop, visit the Hoffman Center website or go to the Lorincz Literary website, http:// literaryconsulting.com/, where you can register online or email Lorincz with your questions.

Community News Briefs Pine Grove Thanksgiving Day Potluck cancelled The Thanksgiving Day community potluck dinner has been cancelled by order of the Tillamook County Health Department.

Melissa Kauffman, a health department employee, informed the organizer of the potluck that public potlucks are not allowed in accordance with an Oregon State Food Code. Potlucks are allowed at private parties, such as weddings or club meetings. While potlucks have a rich history in American culture as a means for communities to come together, Kauffman acknowledged, especially in rural areas, she emphasized that the food code exists to prevent risk of food-born illness.

Nehalem resident, Sheila Moran, the person who promoted the idea of having the Thanksgiving Day potluck, said she was disappointed that the dinner had be cancelled. Moran added that she had received a lot of positive response regarding the dinner and she hopes something can be worked out with the county in the future.

When Moran first conceived of the idea for the dinner she imagined it might become an annual event with the slogan, “Our Community Gives Thanks Together” as a theme. “Our community’s enthusiastic response this year suggests giving thanks together is very much what our community desires to do,” said Moran, who noted that many people had already made it their Thanksgiving Day plans to attend.

In addition, local artist Elisabeth Summers, had printed full color posters of her original artwork that she had created specifically for the event. Turkeys had been generously donated by Manzanita Fresh Foods IGA and Manzanita Grocery & Deli. Michael Simpson, choir director at Neah-Kah-Nie High School was lining up students to sing at the event, and the

Pine Grove Community Club had donated use of its facility. Also, numerous people had already eagerly volunteered to do everything from roasting turkeys at the Pine Grove to giving rides to seniors who needed transportation.

“Clearly, there is enthusiasm to have a community Thanksgiving Day potluck dinner; the idea really seems to have struck a positive chord,” Moran noted.

For more information, contact Moran at acudocmama@hotmail.com or (503) 812-4636.

“Take Your Seat” fundraiser to benefit NCRD auditorium Friends of NCRD are excited to announce a holiday fundraiser to help replace the seats in the NCRD auditorium.

Brown joins RE/MAX Coastal Advantage North coast native, Egrane Brown, has joined RE/MAX Coastal Advantage in Cannon Beach, where she’ll continue to apply her specialized knowledge of the area to list and sell residential real estate in the Cannon Beach, Arch Cape, and Manzanita areas. Born in Tillamook and raised in the Nehalem Valley, Brown has a lifetime of experience with north Oregon’s beautiful coastal towns and villages.

A resident of Cannon Beach for the past 19 years, Brown and her husband are now active members of the local community and are raising two school-aged daughters. She entered the real estate industry three years ago after a successful 16-year career in sales management.

“Customer service is my top priority when it comes to my clients. I want clients to have the best possible experience buying that first home or vacation home—it’s important,” says Brown.

RE/MAX Coastal Advantage owners Alaina and Marty Giguiere are happy to welcome their long-time friend and are excited about the opportunity to help Brown utilize the RE/MAX tools and brand to build upon her already established real estate business.

“Egrane is an outstanding addition to RE/MAX Coastal Advantage,” says Alaina. “She knows Cannon Beach and has an insider’s understanding of our local market. We welcome her to our team of local experts and look forward to watching

Deputies attempted contact with almost half of the 92 open restraining/stalking orders in Tillamook County during the operation. “The National Family Violence Apprehension Detail is an important program for our community,” said Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long. “It enables our deputies to make contact with victims of domestic violence and petitioners of restraining orders so we can assess any potential needs of these individuals, locate subjects avoiding apprehension and/or prosecution and enhance the safety of the community. Most of the petitioners, who were contacted during the operation, expressed their gratitude and were appreciative of the follow up with their individual cases.”

For additional information regarding domestic violence awareness or protective orders of any type, please contact the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office or the Tillamook County District Attorney’s Office.

From page 1 in favor. The results from the Nov. 5 election are in stark contrast to those of 2008 when the first NCRD fiveyear local option tax passed by a mere 14 votes.

“I was hopeful for a strong showing, but, to be honest, I was surprised by the spread,” said Kevin Greenwood, chair of the NCRD Board of Directors.

“It’s a sign that north county voters see a value to the services NCRD offers; and improvements in the management systems and organizational transparency.”

Deborah Skidmore, youth director and public information specialist for NCRD, said she was “grateful” for the public vote of confidence.

“Our numbers are astounding,” said Skidmore of the continued growth of the district’s youth program, in particular the afterschool “playcare” session. “During September, we more than doubled our attendance and have been averaging 17 to 18 children, K-5, per day.”

Looking back five years ago, Nunn said the district had recovered from “that

n Veterans From page 1 very good choice,” Nicholson told students.

His naval career lasted three years, two of which he was aboard the USS Reynolds, a destroyer escort. By the time his tour of duty ended, he traveled 25,000 miles aboard ship.

The Reynolds was to be part of “Operation Downfall,” the invasion of Japan. The war ended following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Nicholson, who kept a personal diary aboard ship, a practice frowned upon, noted that it was estimated that there would be one million casualties the first day of an invasion. While the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific, he pointed out that B-29 operations over Japan killed more

n Kennedy From page 1 one had thought he had been shot in the throat. That’s where the confusion and the talk of conspiracy began.”

Cox said he believes what the medical team found rules out a second shooter and that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin.

“As we turned the body over, we immediately saw two wounds; one in the back of the President’s skull and the other wound in his back,” said Cox “The exit wound from the head was very obvious because it took out the right half of the skull and part of the brain. We could not find an exit wound for the bullet that entered the back. But we did receive a call from the Dallas doctors that they had done a tracheotomy and that’s when our medical team decided the bullet went in the back and came out in the throat. The importance of that is that we knew the President had been shot from behind, not from in front. It just shows where the confusion was. Dallas doctors never turned Kennedy’s body over and never saw the wounds in the back.”

During the three-hour autopsy, the Kennedy family and staff were in an upstairs room at the hospital. Their presence impacted the results of the

County TLT approved by 2 to 1 margin Unofficial returns from the Tillamook County clerk’s office showed the county transient lodging tax passing easily. Of over 7,000 votes cast in the Nov. 5 election countywide, 4,707 were in favor of the county TLT, and just 2,330 opposed (67 percent to 33 percent).

There was a 49.14 percent turnout, with 7,057 of 14,361 registered voters casting ballots, according to the clerk’s office.

Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein, reached at home the evening of the election, noted, “We

have fulfilled the county commissioners’ promise to the roads committee. Thirty percent of the transient lodging tax money is going to go to the upkeep of roads. That was the main issue.”

How the 70 percent that’s dedicated to tourism will be allocated – and by whom – is the next big issue, he said. “I would like to see how other counties are doing it.” Input from Travel Oregon, which collects the state’s transient occupancy tax statewide, “will be invaluable,” Baertlein noted. “I hope to get some people here in the off season.”

low point” when NCRD was in financial disarray and its general manager fired because of embezzlement of district funds. That’s when Nunn, then a member of the board, was hired as general manager.

‘This enables us to move forward with that vision we originally had to continue the school swim program and generally improve the quality of life for community members,” said Nunn.

While much discussion has taken place in regard to one day replacing the

80-year-old pool, district officials tried to separate the pool from the debate over the five-year levy. Those funds, said NCRD, were for general maintenance and day-in and day-out operations only.

“Letters we saw and comments we heard in opposition focused on the pool, so we weren’t 100 percent successful in separating the pool from the discussion. But we did not see objections to funding the day-in and dayout operations…I didn’t see any naysayers,” said Nunn.

people than the two atomic bomb attacks combined.

On September 2, 1945, the war officially came to an end with the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay. Nicholson’s made his last entry in his diary on October 8. “The most wonderful day in the world, we passed under the Golden Gate Bridge about 0730…”

While veterans of WWII were welcomed home as heroes, Scott, and his Vietnam counterparts, didn’t experience that. A country that had grown weary of the ongoing conflict in Southeast Asia and protests at home, for the most part, turned its back on returning soldiers. That attitude would change slowly over the ensuing years.

“It was a turbulent time in the 1960s,” said Scott. “I was in high school when JFK was assassinated…that kind of kicked

off the 60s for me. If you didn’t have a plan following graduation from high school, you had to worry about the draft.”

Upon graduating from Portland State University with no further student deferment, the 23-year-old signed up in the navy’s officer training program, and served a one-year stint in Vietnam as a salvage and damage control officer repairing river gunboats.

In his unit in Vietnam, everyone, said Scott, knew exactly how many days they had remaining in their one-year tour of duty. “There was somebody new and somebody leaving everyday it seemed…there was no cohesion” he noted, something that has changed in the military since then. As a result, relationships were hard to forge and upon his return to the states, Scott, unlike Nicholson, would never hear from or see any of those he served with

overseas.

Students were attentive, asked a few questions and laughed with the veterans as they recounted some of the lighter moments of their experience. Scott, who told students he hated snakes, noted that there were “lots of them in Vietnam.” Nicholson recounted eating bread made with flour that had been infested with weevils. “They toasted it to hide the weevils,” he said with a laugh. “It tasted okay.”

Afterwards, students lined up to shake the hands of Scott and Nicholson, thanking them for their service and sharing with them their wartime stories. Nicholson presented the high school with a copy of a spiral-bound book he had put together of his WWII diaries and photos, along with his perspective of events. What lasting impression the two veterans made on students is anyone’s

autopsy, according to Cox. “It might have been more thorough, but the Kennedy family was there on the 10th floor waiting for this to be done,” said Cox. “They kept calling us to see when we would finish, so there was pressure to finish quickly.

Normally, the doctors would carefully trace the wounds, but because they felt they were under pressure they did not do that.”

Cox said even as doctors attempted to record the procedure, simple mistakes were made.

“In those days, everything had to be recorded by hand,” said Cox. “The original notes were all full of blood. The doctors recopied the notes, and, in so doing, they wrote that the wound on the back was two inches away from its original place. That was one of the original mistakes.”

Cox said military admirals at the hospital ordered the

bloodied notes and the doctors’ clothes to be burned so that there would be nothing for souvenir hunters. “But they did not burn the President’s clothes or any of the other evidence,” said Cox. “The evidence was secured.”

Another twist during the autopsy came during a request from the President’s wife.

“Jackie didn’t want the President’s head shaved during the autopsy,” said Cox. “She was thinking of an open casket viewing. Normally, your wife or my wife couldn’t make that call, but the doctors decided to go along with her request. At the time, none of this seemed like a big deal. It was really pretty cut-and-dry.

It was only later that all these questions came up that were pointing toward conspiracy.

But I do not believe that there was a conspiracy.”

guess. Nevertheless, it was important to them that they share their stories. For Scott and Nicholson, their day talking to students at Neah-Kah-Nie was time well spent.

difficulties” that would have resulted if the levy had not passed, Nunn is looking forward to strengthening existing programs and continued progress in renovating and improving the district’s aged facilities. Saving towards a new pool will continue and the conversation will, once again, swing back to one day replacing the current pool, one of the oldest on the West Coast still in use.

“Certainly, no decision as to the final design has been made,” said Nunn. “Can we afford it? That’s the question.

Right now, I’m focused on the auditorium refurbishment. We have grants and the

grantors expect progress.”

With the gymnasium/ auditorium exterior siding recently completed, Nunn said he hopes to put out for bids, beginning next year, for a new auditorium ceiling, along with lighting and electrical upgrades. Next up is a fresh coat of paint and replacement of seats, something the Friends of NCRD, a nonprofit support group, has launched a fundraising campaign for.

As for Greenwood, in speaking for the board, “Personally, I think continuing to find efficiencies and better ways to deliver services to families that have been hit hard by the economic downturn would be two of my goals. We need to show that we’re being responsible with the use of these operating resources.

“Based upon the pool feasibility report that the board received earlier this year, I personally think it will be several years before a serious pool improvement takes place. But that should not be a reason to stop placing timber revenue in reserve funds for future boards who will need to make those decisions.”

The North County Recreation District recently completed re-siding the walls of its gymnasium building. Pictured above, the east wall was a work in progress this summer. Courtesy photo ing the pool, in my mind, was never a part of the operating levy discussion,” Greenwood added. “The board did spend quite a bit of time looking at the feasibility of a pool upgrade and realized that the district is not in a position to pull the trigger on any pool option at this time. The renewal of the levy, however, does allow NCRD to continue to set aside timber revenue for the replacement of the district’s considerable assets (i.e. roof, siding, windows, auditorium, pool) and that’s important.”

the bird.

My troubles are over in that department though as I am grateful for this handy dandy little recipe for crockpot stuffing. How ingenious!

It cooks all day and adds its own lovely fragrance to the house, and doesn’t take up any space in the oven. It is also incredibly tender, just like right out of the bird. Yippee! I make mine with veggie broth too, so it is friendly to both the turkey eaters and the not. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I am so thankful for you dear reader.

Your precious memories here

1 teaspoon of salt and pepper 1/2 stick of butter, melted 1-2 cups of broth Get out a very generous bowl, like we are talking BIG! Mix everything together well except the butter and broth. Drizzle the stuffing mix with the melted butter and 1/3 cup the broth while tossing it with a fork till well distributed. Add the broth 1/3 cup at a time, slowly, while tossing until the whole lovely mess is just moist. Don’t get it too wet! I usually find that in our humid climate that it only needs about 2/3 to 1 cup of broth at this point.

Tuck in a large crock-pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours, drizzling 2-3 tablespoons of broth over it every two hours or so. Watch it and make sure it doesn’t get too dry. When it is done, turn the crock-pot down to “keep warm” until you are ready to serve it. And voila! The stuffing is done when the turkey is, delicious, moist and not taking up room in the oven.

You will give thanks for this.

12-14 cups of dried bread cubes 2 onions, diced 1 bunch of celery, cleaned and chopped 2 apples chopped 1 cup of walnuts, roughly chopped 1 cup of dried cranberries 2 cups of wild rice, cooked 2 eggs, beaten 1/3 cup of chopped fresh parsley 1 cup of finely shredded Parmesan cheese (Optional but amazing!)

2 teaspoons of celery salt 2 teaspoons each of dried sage, rosemary and thyme OR two tablespoons each of fresh sage, rosemary and thyme, minced OR 1 tablespoon of dried poultry seasoning

every night after work and by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, everything is mostly done. I start prepping the things that will last or I can freeze first, then move to making the more perishable dishes the day before.

I consciously choose dishes that can be made beforehand and simply be assembled or heated up the day of Thanksgiving, like salads and casseroles. Remember dishes that can be served at room temperature are a blessing as well.

Attitude is everything and I have adopted the approach that Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t have to be so much food that you feel committed to overworking and overeating. Honestly, we don’t need that much. A few dishes done well is a way better plan.

Slow down, breathe, (drink your wine) and choose your dishes wisely. Speaking of wine, plan for easy drinks; like wine (a local pinot noir) hard cider and sparkling ciders. No mixing, messing or ice too!

In my one oven household, sometimes it is difficult to get everything done all at the same time. On top of that, we have a vegetarian in our midst so if I do not plan right, I have to make two of every dish.

(No wonder I was exhausted!)

One of the big culprits is the stuffing. It always takes up the oven and half the time comes out “stick to the roof of your mouth” dry if it isn’t in
