Wheeler looks to acquire property for Bott’s Marsh Park If all goes according to plan, say goodbye to big development of Bott’s Marsh and the adjacent property to it simply known as the “upland” property. In a presentation to the Wheeler City Council at its Tuesday meeting, Mar. 19, John Jelineo and Vern Scovell, owners of the property, laid out a plan for the City of Wheeler to acquire the 8.3-acres upland parcel

through a grant with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. As for the Bott’s Marsh property to the north, Jelineo and Scovell are working with other agencies to keep the wetlands in the condition it is in and protect it from any future development. “I don’t want another five years of bickering (in trying to develop the property),” said Jelineo. “Vern is on the same page…it’s obvious with the

vision of this town, it doesn’t want big time development on that land.” After the hour-long presentation and question and answer period, the Wheeler City Council approved a resolution to authorize an application for a local government grant from OPRD for acquisition of the upland property for purposes of establishing a park.

Long awaited S. 3rd St. project underway By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Manzanita’s S. 3rd Street project, originally thought to drag on into summer, is scheduled to be completed May 28, according to City Manager Jerry Taylor. The project, which has been high on the city’s priority list the past several years, entails the installation of a new storm drainage line, along with replacing water lines and resurfacing the street. Pacific Excavation broke ground on March 8 and, more importantly, has a plan to deal with the unusually high water table in the area to help avoid delays. “Work crews are beginning with the bottom half of the street, from Pacific to Edmunds, where the line runs deeper and more de-watering (of the ground) is required,” Taylor told the Citizen.

Instead of removing the old storm drainage line in that area, the old line will be filled with slurry and left in place. Further north, where the line is not as deep, it may be removed. Taylor believes the city is dodging a bullet as in recent months S. 3rd Street, just south of Edmunds, has gotten noticeably worse. Previous breaks in the line have caused flooding in the immediate area. Though signed for “No Through Traffic,” property owners along or near S. 3rd Street will be able to access their homes. Work will proceed during the week, but not on weekends, said Taylor. Pacific Excavation’s bid of $386,364 came in almost $35,000 less than the project engineer’s original estimate

Though closed to through traffic, property owners on or near S. 3rd Street in Manzanita will be able to access See PROJECT, page 5 their property during construction. Photo by Dave Fisher

Winging it… Talk about being in the right place at the right time, local resident Julie Resnick took this photograph on a recent Sunday morning of what appears to be a crow touching down on a rock with Neahkahnie Mountain in the background. “I thought this one I took this morning on Neahkahnie Beach was a good one,” stated Resnick in an email to the Citizen.

Be prepared, not scared - Disaster Fair coming up Disaster Fair slated Mar. 30, at NBFR District Fire Station

Lesson learned living through a disaster

The Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay and the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District will hold their third Disaster Fair Saturday, Mar. 30 at the fire station in Bayside Gardens. The fair, with the theme of “Be Prepared, Not Scared,” will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Parking will be available at Covenant and St. Catherine’s churches, Ron’s Lighthouse, and the TPUD workshop – all on Hwy. 101. Shuttle vans will be provided. Tillamook County is prone to natural disasters. The Dec. 2007 storm knocked out power to homes and businesses for five or more days. Slides and downed trees blocked roads in all directions. Superstorm Sandy hammered the East Coast last October, and that area is still recovering and rebuilding months later. As serious as those storms were, their impacts would pale in comparison to “The Big One” – a large earthquake and resulting tsunami starting from the Cascadia Subduction Zone just 70 miles off the Oregon Coast. Witness what happened to northeast Japan in March 2011. It was the same thing that could happen here. The last large earthquake and

The following are ten of the 46 lessons learned by Frantz Ostmann and published on-line in his oft-reposted “Living Through Sandy.” It was released Nov. 17, 2012, 20 days after Superstorm Sandy hit New York City and New Jersey.

It’s easy to prepare yourself for a natural disaster, which is one reason the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay teams with the NBFR District in conducting Disaster Fairs locally. Courtesy photo tsunami in our area occurred in 1700. There is a significant chance of another huge one striking in the next 50 years. The State of Oregon just released “The Oregon Resilience Plan,” which outlines the impact of such a disaster on the state’s infrastructure – roads, electricity, water, sewer, and healthcare facilities. Restoring those services will take much longer on the coast than in the valley. The coastal damage will be more severe, but the larger valley

population will draw more relief efforts. The reasons for preparedness and self-reliance on the coast are evident and startling. According to the report, restoring drinking water and sewer services in the valley could take a month to a year. On the coast, it could take one to three years. To view a draft of the Oregon Resilience Plan (319 pages), visit http://www.oregon.gov/ OMD/OEM/osspac/docs/Or-

egon_Resilience_Plan_draft. pdf. The Disaster Fair will include presentations on lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy featuring Red Cross volunteers who were there (1:30 and 2:30 p.m.); Residential Damage Assessment (2:30 p.m.); and emergency communications with hand-held family radios (2:00 p.m.). (Locals who already have FRS radios should bring them to the fair.) There will also be in-

Welsh has Anna Welsh been indicted on four counts of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, a class A felony and Ballot Measure 11 crime, in which she “did unlawfully and knowingly induce (name omitted) a child, to participate and engage in sexually explicit conduct for a person to observe and record in a visual recording, to wit: cell phone video.” She is also indicted on four counts of luring a minor,

a class C felony, in which she “did unlawfully and knowingly furnish a minor a visual representation, to wit: cell phone picture of sexual conduct, for the purpose of inducing the minor to engage in sexual conduct.” Additionally she stands charged of three counts of sexual abuse in the third degree, class A misdemeanors, and one count of sodomy in the third degree, a class C felony. Two minor males have been identified as Welsh’s victims. Welsh has been under house arrest since she was released from jail on bail to the custody of third-party supervisors. She is currently residing with her parents, who

were recently added to her list of approved third-party supervisors. Welsh is scheduled to appear in court March 22 for a hearing on the release violation. If she is found guilty of violation of her release agreement, she stands to forfeit the deposited security (bail) she posted when she was released in December 2012. Her bail has been reset at $200,000 full cash. Meanwhile, Welsh’s hearing on charges of sexually abuse of minor males has been rescheduled to Tuesday, May 28, at 1 p.m. Both Welsh’s attorney, John

Children’s activities will include “Wiggle World,” which shows kids how earthquakes work. Firefighters will be on hand to show off their equipment and demonstrate rope rescue techniques.

Tuthill, and deputy district attorney Lee Carter attributed the delay to information not being available. “Discovery

is not complete,” Tuthill told Judge Mari Garric Trevino. “Information has not been made available.”

Anna Welsh in custody again, hearing delayed For the Citizen

Anna Welsh of Nehalem is back in jail for violation of her release agreement. In a random search of Welch’s residence, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office detectives found electronic devices with access to the Internet, cell phones and unprotected computers, as well as alcohol. Detectives found that Welsh’s residence had wireless Internet access, and at her disposal were a cell phone, a smart phone, a Kindle, Netflix, and a laptop computer. Detectives found opened bottles of alcohol in the garage. Welsh’s release agreement specifically prohibits her use of cell phones or any elec-

Free School Readiness exams are April 24-26 Early screening for health and development challenges is an important step to successful learning. That’s why health and education community partners from all around Tillamook County have worked together for more than 40 years to offer the annual Multi-modular Preschool Exams program to all children ages 3 to 6 years who live in Tillamook County. This year’s exams will take place April 24 to 26, at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. To make an appointment for this free service, families are asked to call the number most convenient for them: (503) 815-2292, (503) 368-2292 or (503) 965-2292. Last year, 250 children received screening in twelve health and development areas including vision, dental, speech, motor skills and behavioral development. Referrals were made for follow up with professional providers in 207 identified areas of concern. The value of screening services provided per child is more than $1,000 each. Community partnerships, generous in-kind and financial donations, along with more than 100 volunteers make it possible to offer these services free of charge to our community’s young children to help ensure they begin school as ready to learn as possible. Tillamook Hospital, leader of this community-wide project, receives support and involvement from many local and regional partners, including all three school districts, the NW Regional Education Service District, Head Start Centers in Tillamook County, Tillamook Bay Child Care Center, the Tillamook County Health

Department, Tillamook Vision Center, OHSU and more.

EXCELLENT GENTLEMENT

Saturday, March 30th

With six teams representing Neah-Kah-Nie School District at the competition, coaches and students alike are hopeful their performances will qualify them to represent Oregon in the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals to be held in Lansing Michigan this May. The school district, with the support of the 21st Century Community Learning Center YSTARS, and the Mudd-Nicks Foundation are set to send one team this year. Odyssey of the Mind is an international enrichment program that focuses on team directed problem solving ranging from building complicated structures, to performing an original play. Students learn how to be a positive member on a team, utilizing higher level thinking skills, and reaching long term goals. Each year the teams choose a long-term problem to collaborate on and present at competitions. Students work together to determine the “answers” to the problems, without any adult assistance. This year over 35 interested students met twice a week after school to learn the process of how a team functions, and what character traits are important for a team member. The students were then given a long-term problem to solve – this year ranged from creating complicated inventions to do simple tasks, to creating performances that included sound effects, song, and dance. All props, costumes, scripts, and songs were created by the team members. Dylan Mitchell, a 7th grade student at NKN Middle School, has been involved in the program for several years summed up what a lot of the students believe, “Being a part of Odyssey, I’ve learned when you work together, you can accomplish more than by yourself,” he said.

There’s never been a better time to make those home improvements you’ve been thinking about. U.S. Bank is offering a Home Equity Line of Credit at a great rate with no closing costs.

tions might be. From the cheap seats we see what is happening in the world directly affect on our daily lives. We find it hard to believe that science and technology has brought about automobiles that can run further on a gallon of gas than we used to get from a full tank. Our gain from this wonderful fact is that gasoline now costs six times what it was in the early days. It rises and falls at the whim of the speculators and the need for profit. The cost of medical care is soaring and the salaries of CEOs, of what have even been declared charitable medical facilities, are making millions every year. A minor accident for someone with inadequate medical insurance could ruin the lives of entire families. Us old folks are drawing our Social Security funds that we paid into the system along with our employers for our entire working lives. Some people both in and out of government have now declared those payments as entitlements and an unfunded drag

on the economy. Companies from both minor and major industries have gone to great lengths to void their committed retirement payments to former employees. Nobody tells it like it is, reminding those firms that those retirement funds are delayed compensation that was promised to those who would work for less and accept money later in their lives. For the firms involved it was a matter of saving hard dollars and paying with soft dollars. Two things that us old people do have control over is the daily routine of taking our pills from that handy pill box that seems to empty itself each and every week. The other time gauge is the trip to the store for our weekly supply of bananas. The trick is to get there on the day that they are first put on the shelf and are very green. The next morning there will be one on the underside that is eatable and from there on out it is easy to get your daily dose of fresh fruit that you could afford and will keep you going so you can fill your pill box.

Living at the beach means freedom, a freedom you cannot explain to anyone who hasn’t lived here. I am surrounded by incredible natural beauty on all sides; crashing waves, towering trees, soft sand. I’m also surrounded by a bevy of inventive, artistic, stubborn, creative, entrepreneurial dreamers. We came here seeking the freedom to build our dreams.

Beach and Bay Poetry Weekend, April 6 & 7 In honor of National Poetry Month the Manzanita Writers’ Series and Bay City Arts Center present a weekend dedicated to the joys of poetry. Beach and Bay Poetry Weekend will take place April 6 and 7. Two workshops and a public poetry reading will take place at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita on Saturday, April 6. Cost is $30 per workshop or $50 for both. In the morning from 10 a.m. to noon, poet Stephanie Lenox will present “Other Shoes,” a workshop to help you learn to embody the voices of your characters. This workshop is for poets of all levels, as well as fiction writers interested in developing

Dr. Robert Rinehart taught rheumatology as a clinical instructor, associate professor and then Clinical Professor of Medicine at OSHU from 1946 – 1984, becoming a Clinical Professor Emeritus in 1984. According to Dr. Fisher at the time, “Without Dr. Robert Rinehart’s help, it is felt that the bulk of our medical students and house staff members would not have had any formal exposure to the rheumatoid diseases. Dr. Rinehart has consistently and meticulously directed and personally staffed the rheumatology clinic – one of the largest in the system.” Growing up in Wheeler, a graduate of Wheeler High School, Robert “Bob” Rinehart often displayed the family trait for volunteerism, as he would bring needy people home to care for them. During the 1930 Tillamook Burn, as ash was raining down on all the communities, a train was

He received is B.S. in chemistry from Oregon State University in 1937 and a masters in biochemistry at the University of Oregon Medical School in 1940-42, and served as a Fellow of the Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota in 1943-44. In 1942, he married to Dr. Dorothy W. White and the couple had six children – Robert, Harry, Gail, Diane, Patricia and Cynthia. After serving as a captain in the Army Medical Corps in North Africa, Robert and Dorothy joined his father, Dr. Harvey Rinehart at The Rinehart Clinic in Wheeler. They continued and expanded the successful treatments for arthritis, created the Rinehart Foundation and instigated the formation of the North Tillamook Hospital District. He led the community in the establishment of the Harvey E. Rinehart Memorial Hospital, completed in 1955. The Rinehart family was instrumental in a variety of community enhancements, including work with the Department of Transportation to improve roads to the area and the Federal Aviation Administration to build the airport. Robert lobbied to have the airport located closer to Wheeler, near the

strooms and a visitor center, will likely be finished by Labor Day. Originally, the city council had hoped to have the new facility ready by July 4, just in time for Manzanita’s annual celebration, but got sidetracked when members of the planning commission accused the council of bending the rules in an attempt to bypass the commission and the design review process. Additionally, local architects took issue with the city for not affording them the opportunity to submit a design for the new visitor center. In trying to streamline the construction process, the council ended up

Situated in a flood plain, an area that has the potential for flooding, it was not considered by the FAA, and the current airstrip was built on the sand spit near the Nehalem Bay State Park. In 1959, Dr. Robert Rinehart transferred his practice to Portland and with second wife, Nancy Gordy, had five children, Pamela, Suzanne, Brenda, Harvey and Nancy. He continued his work as a nationallyrecognized leader in research and treatment of rheumatic ailments. An early innovator, he utilized a variety of techniques, and according to daughter Suzanne. “From a very young age he taught us muscle awareness and how to manage stress and anxiety through differential relaxation, bio-feedback, stretching excercizes, Feldenkrais techniques, and with the daily adage ‘X isn’t making you mad (or upset or unhappy), you are allowing yourself to react to X.’”

The city ended up staying with out-of-area architect Ivars Lazdins, who was originally chosen to draw up the plans. Those drawings were submitted to the Manzanita Planning Commission at its meeting held March 18 for design review. The property was acquired last fall, as the city looked to make good on a promise to provide public restrooms closer to the beach and create space for a visitor center.

He was chairman of the Medical and Scientific Committee of the Oregon Chapter of the Arthritis and Rheumatic Foundation from 1949 to 1970, and served on the executive committee until his death in 1985. “Professionally, he (Bob) was one of the great modern rheumatologists of the world. He was a pioneer and the essential ingredient that kept the Rheumatology Clinic at OHSU growing through some of its most trying periods,” said Dr. Edward Rosenbaum, professor of Rheumatology at Oregon Health Sciences Center, Portland and research collaborator with Dr. Robert Rinehart. “For years, no matter the weather or how busy, he made the round trip from Wheeler to Portland to serve one day a week at the clinic.

Library ‘Friends’ look to boost membership Key dates in the history of the Manzanita Library

The Citizen

“Many in our community don’t even know about North Tillamook Library Friends, and having a library card does not make you a ‘Friend’ of the library,” says Gail Young, who as co-chair of the group’s membership committee hopes to change all that. “We’ve lived in Manzanita for over ten years, and I didn’t know about Friends until I joined the library board.” Twenty-five years ago, North Tillamook Library Friends raised funds for the purchase of land and the construction of the building, which houses the Manzanita Branch Library. Today the Friends continue to cover all costs for operating the library building and grounds, including utilities, maintenance and improvements. Materials and professional staff are provided by the Tillamook County Library system, a collaboration, which has been a remarkable publicprivate partnership for the community. The Friends also support Peter Walczak’s Watershed and Our Environment Reading Challenge Program, which is open to all Nehalem Elementary School students. Introduced to the Friends organization through a

“We were back to normal in 2012, by the sales numbers anyway, and we expect 2013 to be just as ‘normal’ as 2012,” said real estate broker Walt Covert, who, along with his wife, Kay, owned Windermere Manzanita for a number of years before selling to Kamali/Sotheby International Realty last year. When the Coverts speak of “normal,” they point to the 53 homes and condominiums sold in Manzanita/Neahkahnie in 2012, over twice as many units sold in 2009, the first full year of the economic downturn or “Great Recession,” sparked in large part when the real estate “bubble” burst. Though the numbers aren’t near the peak years beginning nearly a decade ago when the market was red-hot and rolling, brokers are quick to point out that too was an anomaly. “I’m pretty positive overall,” said Dellanne McGregor of Pete Anderson Realty. “We’ve recovered a lot in volume of transactions in 2012…Portland is up and we kind of follow Portland.” Echoing that sentiment is Alaina Giguiere, who has worked the Manzanita and Cannon Beach market

North Tillamook Library Friends members Gail Young, at left, and Janice Levesque co-chair the nonprofit organization’s membership committee. Photo by Dave Fisher neighbor, Young’ s co-chair, Janice Levesque, was excited at the prospect of volunteering her time. “I’ve always been interested in the library and thought this would be a great thing to volunteer for. The library is very important to the community,” said Levesque. Interestingly, says Levesque, the Manzanita Branch Library has the second largest circulation of libraries in Tillamook County, second only to the main library in Tillamook. In Tillamook County, there are three libraries

owned by Friends groups meaning that a small community, like Manzanita, can have a thriving library with the help of volunteers and through donations. The other two Friends-owned libraries are located in Rockaway Beach and Bay City. In terms of circulation, Manzanita is the largest of the three. Through an agreement, the Tillamook County Library provides books, materials and staff for the branch libraries. The public/private approach is a win-win for those communities and the main library in providing

the past several years and recently launched her own real estate office, RE/MAX Coastal Advantage, with husband Martin in Cannon Beach. “It already looks better than last year. Buyers who have been sitting on the fence are coming back in,” said Giguiere. “The economy as a whole has stabilized, things are getting better.” Indeed, the rise in the stock market and other signs that the economy is on the mend is fueling cautious optimism among real estate brokers, but don’t look for prices to skyrocket any time soon. While most agree that “we’ve reached the bottom” and, in some instances, home prices are on their way back up, which is the case in Portland where prices have gone up 6.5 percent in recent months, local real estate brokers like to use the phrase “prices have stabilized” when describing the market in this neck of the woods. “Sales may be back to normal, but prices will take several years to reach the kind of levels they were once at,” said Covert. “Homeowners lost 30 to 35 percent of the value in their homes.” In this market, with more sellers and buyers testing the waters, positioning one’s property to sell becomes more important and, if you’re looking at buying and still waiting for the market to bot-

tom out, don’t. “We’re past that,” said McGregor. “We’ve reached the bottom and if you were waiting to reach the bottom, you missed it. It’s already happened.” However, this cautionary note: “If you’re looking to sell, you need to price your home for the current market, not the one five or six years ago,” says Giguiere. “No one believes we’ll see those prices again anytime soon. Prices have stabilized, but I hesitate to say they’re going up.” For the time being, more affordable houses and cottages ($400K and below) are selling well in Manzanita. “For awhile, we didn’t have anything to offer in that price range,” said McGregor. As more sellers get off the fence and put their homes on the market, she sees a reasonable amount of inventory for buyers to peruse. With 45 properties currently on the market in Manzanita/Neahkahnie, Covert notes that it’s not a seller’s market yet, but that the market is more “balanced” and he sees that as a positive thing. “We’re no longer in a declining market, which was a scary situation because we didn’t know exactly where we were headed. Today, it’s a much more steady and reliable market which is the way real estate people prefer it,”

quality library services. Were it not for the Friends organizations, it is doubtful the Tillamook County Library could support branch libraries if it was a matter of owning them. The Library Board’s strategic plan for the next five years does include an assessment of community needs and changes in the use of local libraries to meet those needs. For its part, the North Tillamook Library Friends group continues to provide funds for utilities and maintenance from membership dues, contributions, bequests, and from fundraising activities such as the annual book sale. Members of the Friends also support the library as volunteer workers doing everything from helping with magazine and

book sales to sprucing up flowerbeds. The primary fundraiser is the book sale held the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Throughout the year, donated books from the community are set aside in anticipation of the event. The past couple of years, the event has raised $8,000. “As an added perk this year, there will be a ‘Library Friends Members Only’ pre-sale on Friday, May 24, from 5 to 7 p.m.,” said Young. The annual Book Sale is held the next day on Saturday, May 25. Why become a Friend of the Library? To support the community’s treasured asset, say Young and Levesque. “A library, especially one in such a beautiful building, adds to our quality of life

he said. While sales of homes rebounded in 2012 and most brokers are optimistic for another good year in 2013, sales of lots continue to lag. In a normal market, according to Covert, 25 lots are sold each year. In 2012, only five sold, as contactors, developers, and investors continue to sit on the sidelines. That aside, there is cause for optimism. “The rise in the stock market will help the sales of second vacation homes in the area,” says McGregor. “The beach is still a very desirable place, especially for baby boomers who have seen their retirement funds recover.” Says Covert, “Real estate continues to be a wonderful investment over time, however, if you buy a house on Monday and intend to flip by Friday, don’t look to come out ahead. On rare occasions that works, but it’s very rare.” “It’s an amazing time for buyers to get back in the market since they were priced out for so long…there’s some extraordinary deals to be found,” says Giguiere. “As for sellers, they must understand their buyer and price their property accordingly for this market. If they do that, it will sell.”

and enhances our community, even for those who are not frequent users of the library,” Young added. “The Manzanita Library is such a great asset to the community,” said Leveque. Membership dues are $5 for individual; $10 for a family; and $10 for businesses. Dues and donations, which are always appreciated, are tax deductible. “New Friends” are always welcome as are the membership renewals from “Old Friends.” Donations may also be made to Friends of the Library as a gift in honor of or in memory of a loved one. “What better way to honor someone’s life than a donation in his or her name to our extraordinary library at Manzanita,” said Young. From its humble beginnings in the offices of a real estate firm in 1930 to what is now the kitchen of Pine Grove two years later, and finally to its new facility in July 1987, the library has been a source of pride among community members and that’s not likely to change in the next 25 years.

Fire District receives hazmat refresher course Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District volunteer firefighters recently received instruction in the handling of hazardous waste material from the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Hazmat Team. The one-and-a-half hour refresher course, which included classroom instruction and hands-on demonstrations, was conducted by Lt. Dan O’Grady and firefighter Andrew Hagman from TVFR for the benefit of firefighters, including ten new recruits. TVFR brought its

hazmat engine for the demonstration. The engine has a tip out with computers, radios, closed circuit TV and everything required to handle hazardous material, including a portable shower. The State of Oregon requires firefighters to participate in hazardous materials refresher training every two years. Twenty-five volunteer firefighters attended the training exercise held March 13, with the help of TVFR which was requested by NBFR Division Chief Training Officer Scott Mullen.

Big Wave hosts MBA get-together Following the success of recent events held at their restaurant to drum up more support for local causes, Big Wave Café owners Brian and Carol Williams were at it again hosting a meeting of the Manzanita Business Alliance on March 11. The gathering, more of a social than a meeting, was an opportunity for business owners and prospective new members to mingle and sample fresh seafood dishes and homemade desserts prepared by the Williams and their staff. Brian, who serves as vice president of the MBA is big on the organization. “The MBA plays a key role in the greater Manzanita area, benefitting many stakeholders,” he stated in an earlier interview. “Membership gives you a voice in future strategic and event planning as well as an opportunity to network with other business owners.” Based in Manzanita, the MBA includes members from throughout the Nehalem Bay area.

Sewage ponds strategic to birds and birders as well For the Citizen

I met my husband five years ago in Eugene. Scott was living in Grants Pass at the time and had never been this far north. Wanting to make his first trip to the north Oregon coast a remarkable one, I took him, along with my granddaughter and dad on a spectacular bird day adventure in north Tillamook County, featuring the Nehalem sewage ponds. He was not impressed. Nevertheless, we married about two years later. Scott retells the story with a bit of a negative twist. My perspective is positively different. I remember the day and many trips to that magical valley as nothing less than fabulous. A large raptor cruised over the van as we stepped out. We saw lots of water birds and a bald eagle in a tree at the far end. The sun was shining and it was a pleasure being outside enjoying a family outing. The path at pond edge is perfect for setting up a scope and public works has installed a special birders’ gate. Another favorite memory, of what I may start referring to as the “Sewage Diaries,” is the morning I took my dad and my brother to the Astoria sewage ponds. The numerous signs on the road warn “No parking beyond this point,” but we ventured on. Is it technically parking if the engine is running and a person is sitting behind the wheel? After briefly scanning the water and seeing the usual suspects, I glanced over at the office and noticed someone official getting into his truck and heading our way. Not wanting to have to explain myself or be wrong, I quickly gathered the troops and headed back

A “birder-friendly” sign at a gate to the Nehalem sewage pond helps guide birders on their visit to the facility. Photo by Susan Boac to the entrance. Now, there is really only one way out of that neighborhood in east Astoria, so I don’t know if he was chasing us or going about his business, but I ducked onto a side street and parked inconspicuously just in case. It’s a story I like to retell as often as I have a chance – Undercover birding: How to get away. Astoria Public Works provides a parking lot and after a short walk, birders are

welcome around the outside of the fence surrounding the pond areas. I am not always twisting the rules or looking for loopholes, you will be happy to hear. As is the case when I took my dad and sister to the Warrenton sewage ponds. We parked in the right spot and stayed on the outside of the fence. We got in about 50 feet across the large fill rocks and then undeveloped ground. We

had to really hug the fence for stability, only to have a pleasant public works worker come out to inform us that we were welcome to come onto the property and look around. We felt a bit foolish. We must have looked like jailbirds behind that fence. We saw four kinds of swallows that day – barn, tree, green-violet and rough-winged. The Cannon Beach lagoon trails are two blocks from my office on Hemlock Street. I venture out there two or three times a week. The trail is well maintained and I can usually see 25 or more species of passerines, corvids, water birds and raptors. So, get out and enjoy. Take your family and learn together. You, too, will have great stories to tell around the dinner table. Susan Boac has spent her life enjoying the great Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors.

‘Hamming it up’ for Easter dinner “The Easter ham holds the same place of honor on the dinner table that milady’s hat does in the Easter Parade.” – Mary Meade

weight thereby greatly increasing the profit margins. The amount of water added to a city ham directly affects its flavor. In many taste tests, the no water added hams always scored the highest. 1. “Ham” pure ham, no water added. The best option. Try to find one with the bone in. It adds more

flavor. 2. “Ham in natural juices.” This is a bit confusing as it sounds like it isn’t tampered with but actually has up to 10 percent extra water added. These hams are actually pretty good and cook up nice a juicy, not a bad option. 3. “Ham with water added.” This ham has up to 15

percent water added. The water percentage will be on the label, usually in fine print. Now you’re getting a highly processed ham that is losing its flavor. 4. “Ham and water product.” This is the freefor-all ham, processed to the fullest letter of the law. This ham can have up to 50 percent water. This ham is

Bourbon-Orange Glazed Easter Ham Feel free to use your imagination on the marmalade. I ended up using a ginger-orange marmalade and it was delicious! You can use a roasting bag instead of the foil, maybe a better option for a pre-cut ham. 3/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 6-8 1 1

cups of high quality orange marmalade cup of pure maple syrup cup of whole grain mustard cup of bourbon of dark rum The juice and zest of one orange whole cloves tablespoon of fresh rosemary Crank or two of black pepper smoked half of a city ham, 7-9 pounds, preferably bone in

In a small saucepan, mix up all but the ham. (It would be hard to fit the ham in there I guess.) Heat up the sauce mix over medium high heat mixing often until it starts to bubble. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer until the sauce, stirring now and then, is reduced in half and coats the back of spoon nicely, about 20mins. Let cool. Before you turn on your trusty oven, position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees. While the oven heats up, line a high rimmed baking dish with foil. Place the ham in the baking dish and carefully baste it with a 1/2-cup of the glaze. Tent the ham with foil where it is well sealed and tuck in the oven to cook for 2-1/2 hours

roughly, until the internal temperature of the ham is 125 degrees. (18 minutes per pound.) Take out of the oven and peel back the foil to reveal your masterpiece. Raise the temperature of the oven to 425 degrees and while it is heating up, brush the ham with 1/4 of the remaining glaze and return to the oven. Bake for 5 minutes, then brush again with glaze, repeat two more times for a total of 20 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on that “piggy,” as this is either your moment of glory or when you can burn the heck out of it. Remove the ham from the oven and let it set. (I know you want to try it, refrain.) Let it rest for at least 20 minutes to two hours before slicing. Hoppy Easter!

“yucky;” do not buy. There are a few more thing to consider in this Easter ham primer; which end of the ham to buy and pre-cut or not? Some people prefer the shank end since it has a higher fat content, but I prefer the butt end, as it is leaner meat and the “meatier” part of the ham. I found that hardly any ham is labeled which end is which, but a butcher informed me that you can tell by feeling the package. (I’ll leave the rest of that one alone.) Ahh, to buy pre-cut or not? This option is pretty much not an option at the coast. The only bone-in, pure ham I could find was at Costco and it was spiral cut, one of the drawbacks of living in this lovely place. If you have the option, I would suggest an uncut ham as they cook up juicer, but a sliced ham cooks up just fine if you do it right. This recipe I am sharing today is a delicious way to cook any style of ham and ensures that a sliced ham doesn’t dry out. Enjoy the wonder of Easter and spring with this festive ham.
