Wheeler’s Vision Plan gets teeth The input of citizens will not be ignored in future planning decisions

Oregon’s First Lady visits north Tillamook County

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Cylvia Hayes, companion of Gov. John Kitzhaber and Oregon’s First Lady, stopped at Garibaldi and

Neah-Kah-Nie High School on a tour of the north Oregon coast on Thursday. Hayes, who expressed her concern about Oregon’s high hunger rates, was on a mission to learn more about the Coho Salmon Project that

just wrapped up its fourth year. Hunger, said Hayes, is “so out of keeping” with what she thinks a progressive state like Oregon should be.

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Generally, a mob, often associated with a “mob action,” isn’t considered a good thing. Raine Miller is looking to change that perception in north Tillamook County with the creation of a cash mob program.

Familiar with a similar effort in Tillamook, Miller decided to proceed with creating a north county version after kicking around ideas with her husband, Jeremy, that centered around doing something locally that would help businesses in Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler during the slow winter months.

What is a cash mob?

“It was born out of the idea of a flash mob,” says Miller. “A cash mob is where a group of people hit a business all at once and spend money, typically $20 per person, to give that business an infusion of cash. It keeps

Garibaldi Marina is one of many businesses that have been “mobbed” by the Tillamook Cash Mob. Courtesy photo money locally.”

So far, the north county effort is still in the planning stages, though Miller hopes to inaugurate the program before the Christmas holiday.

“Facebook is the perfect place to get people on

board,” said Miller, “but, then I realized, it’s harder than I thought.”

Twenty-five mile south, the first cash mob program on the Oregon coast has been in effect since March 2012.

Justin Aufdermauer, execu-

tive director of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, spearheaded the effort after attending a professional development conference where someone brought up their cash mob program.

“I started researching it

and found out that Sherwood was doing one and contacted the organizer. There is a lot of information on how to start a cash mob. The key is finding what works in your community and what members of your community are responsive to,” Aufdermauer says. “The biggest challenge is conveying the message of why one should show up and commit to spending $10 to $20 at a local business when they have no idea what they are going to buy.

“Our highest attendance at a cash mob was 44, and our highest grossing cash mob was last Friday (Nov. 30) for $622.29. Impressive, when you think that it was $622.29 for a small locally owned business in the matter of 45 minutes.”

Miller, who has contacted about 70 people via Facebook, said she would be delighted with a “mob” of at least 20 people; 30 or 40 would be “tremendous.”

Already, she has a Manzanita business in mind, one suggested by several people on Facebook. One bit of advice she received from Aufdermauer, who she has been in touch with, is to take the lead

About Dale Schafer

For the Citizen

Nehalem has a new city manager. Dale Shafer, who has served as city recorder for the past months, was selected by the Nehalem City Council during its Dec. 10 meeting. Shafer, who was named interim city manager following Michael Nitzsche’s resignation in November, had expressed her interest in the city manager position.

After a brief discussion, the council voted unanimously to appoint Shafer, with a performance review after six months. Noting that more help would be needed, the council also agreed to have Shafer advertise for a permanent part-time city recorder.

In other business, Public Works Director Don Davidson told council members there had been significant blow-down damage in the Nehalem’s watershed from the November storm. “When Longview Fiber logged some of their land,” Davidson said, “they cut the timber right up to the (Nehalem) property line, and right up to the creek as well. This exposed our new watershed timber to southwest winds. The November storm blew down about 75 percent of the trees along the creek.”

In addition, Davidson reported there was a lot of blow-down on Nehalem’s water line. “I’m so glad the line has been replaced,” Davidson said. “The old water line pipe would have shattered. As it is, the water line is intact.” Davidson added that another storm would take many more trees down, suggesting the city move ahead quickly with salvage and cleanup.

Council members voted to declare the situation an

Dale Shafer emergency with no need to go out for bids, and engage Grasseth & Son Logging to do the cleanup work. The salvage and cleanup will likely begin in January, 2013.

Council members agreed that a possible timber sale could also be discussed during the January council meeting.

The council also discussed plans for the new city hall, including whether plans should be only for the city hall site itself, or include provisions for future expansion.

There was general agreement that some consideration should be given to future expansion needs. It was also agreed that the site of the annex building burned should be filled in to bring the area to current ground level. The annex building was razed on Dec. 8, as a practice burn for Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue District firefighters. The site is currently in the process of being cleaned cleaned up.

Shafer reported that the city had just received a report from arborist David Sip, saying that the redwood tree on the parcel owned by the city is healthy, and posed no problem for the planned site of the new building.

Dale Shafer, Nehalem’s city recorder since August 2011, is the city’s new city manager. Shafer replaces Michael Nitzsche, who resigned in November.

A resident of Cannon Beach, Shafer has lived on the north Oregon coast for nearly 10 years and has 21 years experience in municipal government as a city administrator, city recorder and municipal judge.

“When the opportunity presented itself,” said Shafer of the opening of the city manager position, “I knew I could to the job and that it would make for an easier transition since I already work for the city. For me, it was a no-brainer.”

Members of the Nehalem City Council agreed and Shafer was appointed city manager at the council’s regular December meeting held this past Monday.

Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven asked if the city should do a proposal for a grant to help with construction costs of the new city hall. After a brief discussion council president Dale Stockton noted, “We have the money to build it; let’s build it, with no request for grant money.” Council members agreed unanimously.

Shafer reported that the survey of lot lines at J & 10th streets was complete and that residents had been advised not to touch trees, shrubs, etc., in the city’s right-of-way without written permission.

Shafer also asked the council for advice on complaints of people parking in front of the post office drop box on 10th Street, blocking access to the box by postal patrons. The council voted to have the area of the drop box made a no-parking zone.

Tsunami sirens sound for last time in Tillamook County Monday, Dec. 10 was the last-ever test of the tsunami sirens in Tillamook County.

For over seven years, the 31 sirens, located from Manzanita to Neskowin, have blared out at 1 p.m. on the second Monday of every month, triggered by a signal from the 911 center in Tillamook.

No more. The “tripwire,” according to county emergency manager Gordon McCraw, is new rules from the Federal Communications commission requiring emergency sirens to use “narrow band” frequencies beginning Jan. 1, 2013. The sirens in Tillamook County, which are old, use wideband technology. “They’ve been in place for 10 to 15 years, and they were old when we got ‘em,” McCraw said. “At minimum, we’d have to replace the radios so they’d receive narrow-band signals.”

An additional problem is “they quit making parts for these years back,” McCraw said. “We found somebody who could replace circuit board components, but he retired.” No one does that work any more, McCraw said.

The county itself actually owns only six of the 31 sirens, county radio technician Michael Soots advised.

Those are the sirens at Neskowin, Cape Kiwanda, Cape Meares, Barview Jetty Park, Nedonna Beach, and in Neahkahnie (on Beach Ave.,

What other owners of tsunami sirens in Tillamook County do with their sirens after Jan. 1 is up to them, but the county won’t be sending out radio signals to the sirens any more. The county, which has historically helped with maintenance (and maintenance costs) for some of the non-countyowned sirens, won’t be doing that any more after Jan. 1. north of Manzanita). The other 25 sirens are owned by city governments or neighborhood associations, or are privately owned, McCraw said.

What those other owners do with their sirens after Jan. 1 is up to them, but the county won’t be sending out radio signals to the sirens any more. The county, which has historically helped with maintenance (and maintenance costs) for some of the non-county-owned sirens,

won’t be doing that any more after Jan. 1, Soots said.

“The only assistance we will be providing after January 1 is removal.” Siren owners aren’t required to remove them, he said; “They’re very handy if you think you have a reason for them.” If the sirens are going to be radio-triggered, however, “You need to change out the radio so it runs on a different signal.”

A decommissioning plan for the sirens is being prepared by Soots, and should be done by May of 2013.

To replace the sirens, Tillamook County has “an array” of warning systems, McCraw said – the Civil Air Patrol planes, reverse 911, NOAA weather radios, TV and radio, and more.

When the Japanese tsunami happened in March 2011, a lot of folks got notice from friends and relatives outside the area long before any local warning systems were activated, McCraw said.

“Back when the sirens were installed, the world was bigger than it is now,” he suggested.

Back then, there wasn’t any distinction between “lo-

cal” and “distant” tsunamis, he said – a distinction considered important today.

The warning of a “local” tsunami is going to be “3 to 5 minutes of the worst ground shaking you’ve ever experienced in your life,”

McCraw said. With “distant” tsunamis, “you have up to 4 hours to do anything you need to do.

“We were able to handle that in March (2011),” McCraw said. “We should be able to do it in the future.”

NCRD receives Meyer Memorial Trust award The North County Recreation District is pleased to announce a $50,000 award from Meyer Memorial Trust has been received for the Auditorium Refurbishment Project. This project is in the last phase of a fourphase process to renovate the gym/auditorium building in Nehalem. Phases 1 and 2, towards strengthening the gymnasium floor and then renovating the gymnasium, have been completed. Phase 3, to re-side the outside of the

building, will be completed in early 2013. Phase 4, to renovate the auditorium and performing arts theatre, is a work in progress and will be completed upon adequate funding.

The Meyer Memorial Trust grant is an important step in fulfilling the dream of many in our community, spearheaded by the Riverbend Players theatre group, of transforming the auditorium into a first class performing arts and lecture venue. About $160,000 is still required. Several other grants are being pursued.

NCRD is also hopeful of tax-deductible donations to the project.

The Meyer Memorial Trust is a private Oregon foundation not connected to Fred Meyer, Inc.

I am sure there were problems that in my early age I didn’t even understand. I do know that they were all very decent people who served their nation and their families well.

The only sad note as I look back is the fact that of all those people who were at those Christmas celebrations, I am the only survivor. I tried to cook lutefisk a few times and, with one exception, I ended up with a pot of fish glue. I don’t think people string popcorn or cranberries anymore. I did attempt it one time and I suppose I shouldn’t have butter and salted it before the stringing.

Since this will be the 61st year that our family members have celebrated the Christmas season together, our children have a lot of traditions that we have established. I am sure they all have great memories of their own. It’s a time to be together and to share our love and appreciation of each other as we dedicate ourselves to help those who are not as fortunate as we are this special time of the year.

Commentary

Pushing the Tillamook County Fair to new heights er appreciation of fairs and those individuals that come together each and every year teach others about agriculture, show off their own hard work, or just enjoy a day away filled with wonderful entertainment and yummy food at the fair. I am attempting to meet and get to know the thousands of individuals that make our fair a success and encourage others to get involved.

Even more importantly, I am learning about the Tillamook traditions, while searching for new and unique ways to make the fair even better in 2013.

One of the first items on the agenda upon my arrival was selection of the 2013 fair theme. We had a wide variety of ideas to choose from but after speaking with community members and the fair board, one thing continued

After considering all of this and my desire to push the fair to new heights we chose “Got A Good Thing Growing!” From flowers to dairy cows and toddlers to retirees, everything is constantly growing and with growth comes possibilities.

Along with choosing the theme, the Tillamook County Fair is already hard at work preparing for next year’s fair. August 7-10, 2013 will be here before we know it and there is always something to do in preparation. We

are hoping to see the return of our wonderful food and commercial vendors and are looking for exciting entertainers to fill our stage. Always in search of sponsors and volunteers, we continue our quest to broaden our audience and involve individuals of all ages.

This fall we have also been hard at work on off-season activities as well. We recently opened the 4-H/FFA Pavilion for use as an indoor riding arena in the rainy winter months. Individuals can purchase passes from the fair office allowing them access to this incredible facility. We are also looking forward to our Holiday Open Skating times at the Tillaskate. Whether it’s an extra hour of family time, a few minutes of exercise to ward off those holiday pounds, or you

just want to come in out of the rain, join us for an afternoon of fun and skating. And finally, as we look forward to a new and exciting 2013, the fair is already planning ahead for the second annual World’s Greatest Potato Chunkin’ Contest , which will be held in July. Start building your potato guns now and do not forget to challenge your friends and neighbors to do the same.

As you can tell it has been a busy few months for me at the Tillamook County Fair. There is always something happening and if you are interested in any of the events or activities mentioned, please call the fair office (503-8422272) for more information. We are definitely more than just a four day fair, but we are also working on making those four days spectacular!

Preconception supplementation is important for women A look at three key nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy and fetal development

vertently led to pregnant women and their infants not getting enough fatty acids from fish oils. Numerous nutrition groups point out that if women focus on the low mercury fish, that women should in fact eat a minimum of 12 –oz. of fish per week, in order to assure an adequate amount of essential fatty acids.

Supplementation with a daily high quality supplement of fish oils during pregnancy provides vital nutrients that supply the necessary EFAs for the increased nutritional and metabolic demand throughout the nine months of gestation.

Folic acid Folic acid is the only required vitamin that doubles during pregnancy. Deficiencies of folic acid have been linked to low birth weight infants and neural tube defects. Folic acid supplementation prevents low birth weight and neural tube defects, and may also prevent maternal infections.

In 1996, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended that all women planning a pregnancy or possibly being able to become pregnant take a multivitamin supplement that contains folic acid, for the prevention of neural tube defects. The USPSTF issued a new updated statement in the May 5, 2009 and found convincing evidence that supplements containing 0.4 to 0.8 mg of folic acid during the preconception period lowers the risk for neural tube defects. They also concluded that adequate evidence suggests that folic acid from supplementation at usual doses is not associated with serious harms including no evidence found for the masking of vita-

min B-12 deficiency in women of childbearing age. For women who are planning or are capable of pregnancy, the USPSTF concludes that there is a high certainty that the overall benefit of folic acid supplementation during pregnancy is substantial.

Zinc Zinc is required for proper fetal growth and immunity. Plasma zinc levels decline about 30 percent during pregnancy, and low zinc intake is associated with spontaneous abortion and premature delivery, as well as complications and labor abnormalities. Low zinc was also associated with the specific complication of fetal distress, and may be associated with CNS abnormalities in infants, including neural tube defects, as well as low birth weight infants and toxemia of pregnancy. Supplementation, especially if zinc levels are low, is recommended to reduce the risk of fetal and maternal complications. In one study, labor complications (vaginal bleeding, fetal acidosis, uterine inertia) were improved. Another study showed a lower incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (which is associated with preeclampsia and preterm labor). Some food sources of zinc are oysters, beets, broccoli, wheat germ, wheat bran, fish, and lentils; and watercress (not in the first trimester).

Please consider these supplements in your pregnancy planning. Getting a headstart before you are pregnant, enhances your health and your baby’s health.

Letters to the Editor Gift of hope generously given at gift market Once again, the gift of hope was generously given at the eighth annual Alternative Gift Market!

The popular market held Dec. 1, was a festive marketplace whose dollar receipts totaled $7,200.

The breakdown was 19 percent for 30 international projects and 81 percent for 14 local non-profit organizations. Shoppers responded with this generosity in a mere six hours in one day.

A huge thank you to the 35 volunteers! You know who you are; those who made signs, wrote advertising, distributed flyers, set up and decorated, and then put everything away, cashiered, greeted shoppers, provided calligraphy on holiday cards, staffed the international tables, made delicious soups, and did after-market accounting. Everyone worked, everyone enjoyed each other, and the holiday giving spirit was present in full force.

Thank you to Fulcrum Community Resources for sponsoring and organizing this successful market.

Thank you to Ocean Edge Specialty Rentals for every year providing paper and copying of market materials. Thank you to Fire Mountain School for every year bringing a Visa machine and clipboards and thanks to Bread & Ocean for every year making bread to go with the soups that are served.

Once again, donations (tax-deductible) were made to international and local projects that support people who are in dire need. International projects address education, environmental protection, human rights, hunger, children’s health, women’s issues, and medical supplies and services.

A local donation might have been given in support of school supplies or warm clothing for a homeless high school student. The local non-profit organizations represented at the market were Anyway Foun-

From page 1

The program, launched locally in 2009, involves the transporting of hatchery-produced Coho salmon at the end of their life cycle to Garibaldi where the meat is processed and canned for distribution to local food banks.

In the first three years of the program, Manzanita residents Bill Campbell and Mike Ehlen, who helped get the Coho harvest off the ground, estimate that the program has accounted for 59,000 high-protein meals. This year, the annual project received expanded notoriety with expanded media coverage provided by the Oregonian newspaper and Pacific Northwest journalist Grant McOmie, whose outdoor television program, Grant’s Getaways, appears on Portland’s KGW Channel 8. The added exposure attracted the attention of the Governor’s office in Salem leading to Hayes’ Dec. 6 visit.

Hayes sees untreated hunger as a symptom of poverty and the need to address the root cause.

“It’s a total economic development issue,” she said at her stop

n Wheeler From page 1 city council passed an amendment to its comprehensive plan (CPA 20122) by unanimous votes following public hearings at both meetings giving the Vision Plan more teeth as the decision making process moves forward in regard to future development in Wheeler.

“There was a concern that there was the potential for the Vision Plan to be ignored in the planning process,” Wheeler City Manager Jeff Aprati told the Citizen, noting that the plan will serve as a background document to the comprehensive plan.

“This means ‘the Vision’ will have to be considered anytime a decision is made that involves the comprehensive plan.”

Wheeler’s latest Vision Plan was the result of a two-year effort, begun in 2009 by the city, to systematically receive input from its citizens addressing their concerns in future planning. Chaired

by Stevie Burden, who currently serves as mayor, and Eunice Massie, the process could be viewed as painstakingly slow, but for good reason, according to Burden. Meetings and town halls presented opportunity for citizens to sound off.

Surveys were sent to local residents on multiple occasions. The responses were scored in the interest of

objectivity, at which point focus groups were called upon to review the results.

From there, the Vision Plan was presented to the planning commission and city council where it was tweaked and ultimately adopted in 2011.

“It was a way of addressing priorities set forth by our citizens,” said Burden, who, along with Massie, had been involved in a similar visioning process a decade earlier during Burden’s first stint as mayor.

With the recent approval of the amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan, Burden assures Wheeler citizens that their voice will be heard as the city moves ahead during the next decade. “This gives credence to the Vision Plan,” she said.

More importantly, Burden was pleased with the transparency of the process as the planning commission and city council grappled with the wording and intent of the amendment. In the end, it was “thumbs up” at the public hearing held at the Nov. 20 meeting of the city council during a short public hearing. “There was no dissention at all because we took our time and addressed concerns,” said Burden.

One of those pleased with the recent outcome was part-time Wheeler resident Ralph Thomas, principal spokesperson for the group Wheeler Citizens for Responsible Development, which “enthusiastically” supported the amendment

and applauded its endorsement by the council.

A grass-roots citizen’s coalition dedicated to promoting the kind of development that Wheeler citizens want, Wheeler Citizens for Responsible Development was instrumental in getting the voter-approved annexation measure on the ballot a few years earlier.

“We are very optimistic about conforming the comprehensive plan to agree with the Vision Report and I think that will be a challenge for a small town like Wheeler. It means that the citizens have a voice in shaping how the town will grow in the years to come,” said Thomas, who would ultimately like to see the Vision Plan as part of the zoning ordinance. “The CRD didn’t have anything to do with originating the Vision Plan, but adopted it as a guideline after it was written and it is part of our platform going forward, as it reflects the concerns of Wheeler’s citizens.”

At its December meeting, the Wheeler City Council, having approved the amendment adopting its Vision Plan as a guiding

“It’s a good feeling,” said Peake of the program he’s been involved with since the get-go and processes the fish at his

document to the comprehensive plan, will consider an ordinance that would make it law prior to the new council taking over in January.

“We want it to be in place for the new council coming on board so that the foundation is in place,” said Burden. However, how the Vision Plan applies to the city’s comprehensive plan is still a matter of discussion.

Says Thomas, “The $64,000 dollar question is how the council will direct the actual revision of the comp plan be done.

Our preference is for a dedicated citizens advisory committee to actually do the hands-on work of revising the comp plan. I have my hand up to serve, if and when they decide to go that direction. We’re waiting to hear how the council will approach this after the first of the year, but clearly SUBSCRIBE TODAY! The Oregonian Daily and Sunday Delivery

“It just takes good heart,” added fellow Smiley Brother Campbell.

things are moving in the right direction.”

As the city applies for future grants, Burden believes Wheeler, with the adoption of the Vision Plan in 2011 and subsequent approval of the amendment to make it a principal guiding document to its comprehensive plan, has done its

homework. “It shows we have done due process,” she said.

First Lady

at the Tillamook Bay Boathouse in Garibaldi where the salmon and tuna provided by the Oregon Tuna Classic is processed.

While at the Boathouse, Hayes met up with the “Smiley Brothers,” the adopted name of the original foursome – Campbell, Ehlen, Tillamook Bay Boathouse owner Darus Peake and ODFW salmon monitoring team leader Derek Wiley – who took an idea and made it a reality. Enamored with what she referred to as the “Smiley Bother movement,” Hayes inquired, “Can I be a sister?”

Next stop for the First Lady was Neah-Kah-Nie High School where the task of designing labels for the tuna and salmon and adhering them to cans has become an annual student project as well. Visual arts students, under the direction of art instructor Steve Albrechtsen, designed the labels once again this year along with a poster commemorating the annual effort. This year, Honor Society students applied the labels to the canned product.

It’s no small task; this year the total number of cans of salmon and tuna was over 4,500, according to Campbell. In addition, 218 jack salmon fillets were provided to Nehalem Bay House and Kilchis House assisted living centers.

This method is founded on the idea that everyone is an artist and that talent can be liberated by going within and painting what is found there. Unlike the accepted practice of having a scene, portrait or idea in mind before starting to paint, in process painting the ideas come from the meditations, the colors of the paint, the feelings of the moment.

Meditation and Paint Art Show at NCRD

The current art show in the NCRD Gallery remains on display through December and features a vibrant, colorful, thoughtful array of process paintings. This is a method of creating in which the focus is on fully experiencing the process of painting as a form of deep self-expression, not necessarily on creating a saleable product. These paintings have been painted over the last year in workshops held at the Center for Contemplative Arts in Manzanita led by Jan Tarr, and Ruby Gray Studio in Nehalem led by Glenna Gray.

Partially funded this year by a grant from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, the workshops have previously been supported by the CCA and a small fee charged to the participants.

Six years ago, Jan Tarr, having recently completed the Heroes Journey workshop with Susan Walsh, and become a Spiritual Direction Counselor, created the Meditation and Paint workshops. Meeting weekly, groups of 4-12 women meet at the CCA to listen to and discuss readings, meditate, and then paint in silence. The process ends with sharing of what has been painted, focusing on the process. Recently, Gray joined her in leading workshops, and included men in the mix. Another workshop leader, Linda Weibensen, will take over the sessions at the CCA as Tarr is retiring at the end of the year.

Painting in this way is both challenging and rewarding, as experienced artists are confronted with leaving their perfectionism and control behind to free up their work, and more inexperienced artists face the challenge of believing

“I think there are enough businesses locally to spread it out over a year and beyond before it would repeat itself,” said Miller, noting that another benefit of the program is acquainting “mobsters” with area businesses and spreading the word.

“It’s new to me,” she says. “But, I know the slow season in particular hits everybody hard. Why not make it fun and encourage people to shop local and get people familiar with what’s in the community?”

As for Aufdermauer, he couldn’t be happier with the results so far.

“The Tillamook Cash Mob has been great. A cash mob averages almost $500 in about 30 minutes,” he noted.

The smiles of Nehalem Elementary students express their appreciation and delight having received financial contributions in support of the NCRD’s swim program.

Students express thanks for Swim Program support

Students of Nehalem Elementary and the Friends of NCRD have much to appreciate this season. Oregon foundations have granted the Friends $8,000 for distribution to the School Swim Program for the academic year, and there’s more to come this month.

This is the third year the Juan Young Trust has generously supported the program. Their mission is to provide grants to non-profits that promote the health, education and welfare of children under 21 in the state of Oregon. The Autzen Foundation funds organizations in the Pacific Northwest with an emphasis on youth, education, arts and nature.

The Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund has honored its tradition of sharing throughout the community with distributions of more than $10 million to date through their fund and other tribal resources. This is the first year local students have benefited from their support with a donation.

NCRD Aquatics Upgrade study released

Pool architect Robertson Sherwood has completed Phase A of his work on the North County Recreation District’s aquatics upgrade. Phase A was a study of two options associated with potential energy and cost savings associated with the existing pool, including installation of a pool blanket and/or installation of an air treatment system. These options will be considered by the NCRD Board at its meeting on Dec. 13.

The Phase A study also included three options associated with a new pool; up-

grade the existing pool, build a new 4-lane pool or build a new 6-lane pool. The NCRD board has opted to pursue the building of a new 4-lane pool.

The final Phase A Options Study Report may be reviewed at http://www. ncrdnehalem.org/aquatics-upgradephase-a-options-study-released/.

Kids donate funds to Kiwanis Club

For the ninth year in a row, the students at Nehalem Elementary School have turned the tables on the Kiwanis Club of Manza-Whee-Lem by donating $278.51 they collected during December to the club.

Since 2003, the Nehalem Elementary students have conducted food, toy and fund drives in the days leading up to their Christmas break. To date, they have given the local Kiwanis club a total of $2,774.83.

Kiwanians raise funds throughout the year with raffles, bingo nights and home tours. They use those funds to support children’s programs in North Tillamook County.

“This contribution from the kids will be donated to an appropriate local, child-related program,” said Kiwanis club president David Dillon. “We thank the students, their families and the school staff for making this program such a success.”

Meyer Memorial Trust announces grants

At its November program meeting, the Meyer Memorial Trust’s board of trustees made two grants totaling nearly $64,000 to organizations along the northern coast of Oregon.

The North County Recreation District was awarded $50,000 to renovate and refurbish community facilities in Nehalem.

The soon-to-be-refurbished building houses a gym and auditorium and is used by many community members for a wide variety of classes and programs seven days a week.

Food Roots, in Tillamook, was awarded $13,976 for technical assistance to support community food system work.

This grant was one of six that went to support organizations participating in MMT’s Community Food Systems special focus program.

These grants bring the total amount awarded since Meyer Memorial Trust began operating in 1982 to nearly $21 million in Oregon’s north coast region.

Meyer Memorial Trust is one of the largest private foundations in Oregon, with assets of approximately $671.5 million.

2013 Master Gardener classes offered

The next opportunity to become a OSU Master Gardener in Tillamook is coming up very soon. The Master Gardener Volunteer Training Program is offered annually. Registration is now open for the 2013 classes, which will begin with orientation on Jan. 8, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Classes will be held at Tillamook Bay Community College on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting on Jan. 15, with the last class on April 2. Class will not be held spring break week, March 26.

There is a $100 fee for the training and materials, which includes “Sustainable Gardening,” the Oregon – Washington Master Gardener Handbook, a comprehensive 526-page handbook written specifically for gardeners in the Pacific Northwest.

This would make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves gardening, would like to garden, or would like to know more about gardening. Gift certificates for the classes are available at the OSU Extension Service. The recipient can complete the class registration once they have received their gift.

To obtain a schedule and more information about the classes or a registration form, please contact the OSU Extension Service, 2204 4th Street, Tillamook; phone (503) 842-3433; or visit http:// extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/ what-master-gardener-program online.

Polar Plunge set Jan. 1 Seems like almost yesterday since people of all sizes, shapes and ages made a mad dash to the ocean for a New Year’s Day dip in the surf. The annual Manzanita Polar Plunge is once again set for Jan. 1, at 11 a.m., this time to kick off 2013. Participants

are encouraged to arrive a few minutes before on the beach near the intersection of Nehalem Rd. and Ocean Rd. in Manzanita.

“These things are fun and fun is good,” says principle organizer Janice Gaines.

“That is my story and I am sticking to it!”

ODFW News Briefs Commercial Dungeness crab season delayed

NEWPORT – The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced that the opening of the ocean commercial Dungeness crab season in Oregon will be delayed through Dec. 30.

The ocean commercial Dungeness crab season along the Oregon coast normally opens on Dec. 1, but can be delayed to ensure a high-quality product to consumers and avoid wastage of the resource.

Coast-wide crab quality testing showed some test areas did not meet minimum preseason test criteria. Fishery managers met Dec. 10, and decided to further delay the opening through Dec. 30 to allow crab quality to improve.

The opening had previously

been delayed through Dec. 15. Typically, the commercial season begins around the first of December.

In Oregon, crabbers will be allowed to begin setting their gear in the ocean for a gear pre-soaking period starting at 8:01 a.m. on Dec. 28, and start harvesting crab at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 31.

Recreational harvest of crab in the ocean and in Oregon’s bays will remain open.

Commission sets 2013 annual sturgeon limit at one fish

SALEM – The statewide annual bag limit for sturgeon will be reduced to one fish beginning in 2013 under new rules adopted last week by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.

The new rules covers

all Oregon waters including inland rivers, bays and estuaries and supersedes a two fish annual bag limit set in September as part of the 2013 Sport Fishing Regulation development process.

At its meeting last Friday, the Commission had considered a proposal from an Oregon/Washington Workgroup that would have closed sturgeon to all retention in most state waters in 2013, but decided on the reduced bag limit as a transition to catch-and-release only fishing in 2014.

The reduced bag limit comes after several years of declining harvest quotas reflecting concerns about shrinking numbers of legalsized fish.

Neah-Kah-Nie High art students give newspaper racks new look It took some doing, but perseverance paid off for students of Steve Albrechtsen’s visual arts class who are responsible for giving three news-

paper racks owned by the North Coast Citizen a brand new look with a coastal theme. The brightly colored racks will be back on the street after the installation of new plexiglass. The project, said Albrechtsen, was a way for students to get more involved in the community and, at the same

time, see their artistic efforts on display.

“We certainly appreciate the help of Steve Albrechtsen and his students in taking on this project,” said Dave Fisher, editor of the Citizen. “They look great, and I’m sure the newspaper-buying public will agree. I look forward to hearing the reviews.”

Students help load the three newspaper racks, which will be back on the streets in north Tillamook County sometime after the first of the year.

Annual Whale Watch Week nearly upon us The wintertime edition of this event takes place Dec. 26 – 30

It’s almost that time of year again. No, not Christmas; we’re talking Winter Whale Watch Week at 24 sites along the entire length of the Oregon coast, where trained volunteers will be present to show visitors the gray whales. This year’s event is slated Dec. 26-30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the designated sites.

This is not the only time you can see the whales, but during this period you actually receive help in doing so. About 18,000 gray whales will pass by in roughly four weeks, from midDecember to mid-January, and the same locations (see map and sidebar) are still great viewing spots. Generally, the higher the site the better the viewing.

Whale watching takes place almost year-round on the Oregon coast. Spring watching begins in March, when another Whale Watch Week is scheduled March 23-30. The number of whales peaks the last week and finishes in June with mothers and babies being the last whales traveling north. Summer brings whales that feed along the coast from July to midNovember.

With trained volunteers at “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites visitors receive help spotting gray whales during the winter and spring annual migrations, in addition to receiving information about their migration.

The main body of whales is about fives mile offshore, but some can be seen as close as one to two miles off shore.

During the southern migration whales seldom stop to eat,

grays made a good recovery and were taken off the endangered list in 1994, but are still threatened. The only natural predators of gray whales are Orcas (killer whales) and large sharks. Even though some countries are still whaling, the biggest threat to the whales is pollution in the oceans.

The reason for the migration south is to give birth to their young in the warm, calm bays of Mexico. Gray whale babies are 15 feet long and weigh 2,000 at birth and can grow up to 45 feet long and weigh 70,000 pounds.

They return north and spend the summer feeding in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, seldom eat during migration.

About 200 gray whales don’t continue to Alaska, but remain along the Oregon coast to feed.

The Oregon coast produces lots of phytoplankton (small marine plants), which are eaten by zooplankton (small marine animals), including bottom dwelling amphipods and mysid shrimp, the primary food of the whales.

Make a merry holiday with easy appetizers Here is a recipe for the hottest rage in hors d’oeuvres, bacon wrapped dates. They can be made so many ways but this is my favorite. So, dear holiday partiers, whip up an appetizer and get out there and make merry.

‘Tis the season!

Bacon Wrapped Dates 24 large moist dates, such as medjool 12 not-too-thick slices of bacon 24 whole toasted unsalted almonds brie at room temperature, place on a plate and drizzle with cranberry sauce, chopped fresh rosemary and honey. Serve with crackers or Bread and Ocean’s baguette slices. (This is truly amazing, simple but amazing.)

• Make a cheese and fruit platter in the shape of a wreath on a large round platter. Use your imagination and have cedar boughs or salal leaves under it all in the form of a wreath, red grapes, dried fruit and nuts for contrast and cute little cheese rounds with crackers. Have fun with this one!

• Put out a platter of cooked shrimp and serve with cocktail sauce. (This never grows old.)

• Bake a frittata of your choice and cut into bite sized pieces and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions.

• Fill endive leaves with a tablespoon or two

of hummus and garnish with smoked paprika and chopped green onions or olives. Arrange on the platter like flower petals with the bowl of hummus in the center. Arrange other veggies around the endive leaves in a floral pattern as well. (There has to be a veggie platter, just make it beautiful.)

• Make tiny tea sandwiches, like turkey, cream cheese and cranberry sauce on raisin bread or ham with artisan mustard, mayo and gouda cheese on rustic bread.

• Everybody loves deviled eggs; just make them a wee bit dressier by adding smoked paprika, crumbled cooked bacon and hot sauce to the yolk mix. Garnish with cooked crumbled

Move oven rack to upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees. Pit dates, by tearing them as little as possible. While the dates are awaiting their moment, halve the 12 slices of bacon crosswise.

Stuff cavity of each date with one almond and then wrap one half-piece of bacon around the width of each date and put dates, seam side down, on a baking sheet, at least a half-inch apart. Bake until bacon is golden and crisp, 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly before serving or can be served at room temperature.

bacon, chopped chives and smoked paprika.

• Cut fingerling potatoes into fourths, length wise.

Toss in olive oil and salt and pepper and roast in a hot oven, like 425 degrees until done. Arrange on a platter in a floral pattern with a garlic or red pepper aioli dip in the center.
