Wheeler approves grant application to acquire property for Bott’s Marsh Park By Dave Fisher The Citizen

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 Mar. 19 meeting, 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 (OPRD). 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, who owns 50 percent of the property. “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.” Prior to 2010 when Jelineo acquired 50 percent ownership, Scovell owned the property in its entirety and going back to the 1980s planned to build a marina on a portion of the 30+ acres of land. Stymied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven woke up Monday morning, April 1, to a political sign in her front yard that had been vandalized during the night.

If all goes according to plan, Bott’s Marsh will no longer be the subject of development but will be granted to a conservancy to protect the natural environment. Meanwhile, the City of Wheeler will file for a grant application to acquire the “upland” property adjacent to Bott’s Marsh for the development of a future park. Photo by Dave Fisher and the State of Oregon, Scovell went back to the drawing board and submitted plans for a scaled down 85-slip marina in the fall of 2003. According to reports in the North Coast Citizen, it was the City of Wheeler, which had jurisdiction of the Bott’s Marsh parcel through the Urban Growth Boundary Agreement with Tillamook County, that put the brakes on the proposed marina for the second time. Most recently, Jelineo and Scovell explored the possibility with developer Mike Nelson to construct condominiums with commercial space on the main

level on the site, a plan that was met with resistance by Wheeler and its citizens through its Vision Plan for the city. Noting that the last commercial building to be built in Wheeler happened in 1984, Jelineo said at this point he and Scovell were content to “take the path of least resistance” and grant the upland portion of the property to the City of Wheeler for purposes of a park and Bott’s Marsh to a conservatory to protect the wetlands. In the plan outlined by

POLITICAL SIGN VANDALIZED IN NEHALEM If this was someone’s idea of an April Fool’s prank, Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven isn’t laughing. Sometime during the early morning hours of April 1, under the cover of darkness, someone spray painted the words “No, No, No” on the two large political signs displayed on the front yard of her home in support of the Tillamook County road measure on the May 15 ballot. “It was a cowardly act,” said Kalkhoven, who lodged a complaint with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office. “I’m not sure they even knew it was the

South Third Street - Yep, it’s mess! 7

29467 70001 8

When Manzanita Mayor Garry Bullard warned that the S. 3rd Street project was “going to be a mess,”

he wasn’t kidding. The street is barely recognizable, but the final result will be worth it.

While last week was spring break for many, no such luck for Pacific Excavation work crews who were busy de-watering the street from Pacific to Edmunds as they trenched and laid new storm drainage pipe. Once finished, the project will make its way from Edmunds to Laneda Ave. With the high water table in the area, de-watering continues as trenches are dug. The project, which includes repaving the street, is scheduled to be completed by May 28.

A somewhat muddy mess is what S. Third Street in Manzanita has been reduced to. The good news is work should be completed by the end of May. Photos by Dave Fisher and Jerry Taylor

Easter - Manzanita Style The 2013 edition of the Manzanita Easter Bonnet Contest and Easter Egg Hunt played out under warm sunny skies. “Both events were great successes,” said David Dillon, president of the Kiwanis Club of Manza-WheeLem that sponsors the events. “It was a

beautiful day.” As is always the case, local businesses and volunteer helpers made the annual event a crowd-pleasing one. Manzanita Rental Company provided the stuffed animal prizes, Manzanita Lumber Company the flagging tape,

and Manzanita Fresh Foods IGA contributed the candy for more than 2,300 plastic eggs. Extra volunteers helped the Kiwanis stuff all the eggs, making it a truly community event, said Dillon.

Longevity moves up the street to new digs By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Billed “a place to rejuvenate,” Longevity, founded in 2010 by Manzanita resident and massage therapist Jamie Ehrke, has moved from its previous location on Laneda Ave. to just a few blocks up the street above Mother Nature’s Natural Foods. In the process, Ehrke and partner Christina Pyktel have been rejuvenated themselves. “Running Longevity at the previous location, it was like running four different businesses,” said Ehrke of her establishment that offered yoga classes and an eclectic boutique in addition to massage therapy. “I wanted to simplify my life. My son is 12 and the next few years will go by fast. The business was very successful and a great experience, but I wanted to focus on just being a massage therapist, which I really love.” Pyktel, who showed up on Ehrke’s doorstep

when she first opened Longevity three years ago, says she was “on board” with Ehrke’s decision to move. No longer an independent contractor, Pyktel, herself a licensed massage therapist, is a full fledged business partner and so far has enjoyed her new-found freedom in participating in the decision-making process. “It has been so much fun in creating the new space and being a part of that,” said Pyktel. With a month-long remodel behind them, which included the creation of two private massage rooms (one called the Sun Room and the other the Moon Room) and an interior paint job, Ehrke and Pyktel officially opened their doors the end of March. In offering therapeutic and nurturing massage, the goal at the new location is the same: to customize the experience to best meet the wellness needs of patrons, whether it’s to

resh start,

receive pain relief, relax and de-stress or to support one’s daily health. “We offer a wide range to meet one’s needs, massages that are very customized and therapeutic,” said Ehrke. Among them: the Longevity massage, a choice between a classic Swedish massage or a deep tissue massage; hot stone massage; and aromatherapy massage using essential plant oils to support optimal well being. “The idea is to focus more on the person, offering more personalized attention,” added Pyktel. “I think that is what separates us from other massage therapists.” Ehrke, who has lived the past 14 years in and around Manzanita, studied massage at East West College in 2006, commuting from the coast to Portland for her studies. It wasn’t long afterwards she opened Longevity – A Place to Rejuvenate. Pyktel moved to the area three years ago from Portland and hasn’t looked back. “It’s been

a fabulous move,” she says. She completed a massage program while living in Flagstaff, Arizona in 2004 at Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College. Unlike days past when Longevity, at least the retail portion of it, had regular hours, Ehrke and Pyktel are available by appointment only. It’s as easy as going online – www.longevitymanzanita.com – to book an appointment. Or call (503) 368-3800 or email info@longevitymanzanita.com. Reinvigorated, the duo is excited about a new beginning at a new location. “We’ve enjoyed so much community support during our transition…it’s been terrific,” said Ehrke.

Commentary Letters to the Editor Truly a community event It was a beautiful sunny day for this year’s Manzanita Easter Bonnet Contest and Easter Egg Hunt. Both events were great successes. Anybody who attended would agree. Kiwanis thanks Manzanita Rental Company for providing the stuffed animal prizes, Manzanita Lumber Company for flagging tape, and especially Manzanita Fresh Foods for contributing the candy for more than 2,300 plastic eggs. We also ask the extra volunteers who turned out a few days earlier to help us stuff all those eggs. This was a truly community event. David Dillon, President Kiwanis Club of Manza-Whee-Lem

Pool-A-Thon 2013 raises over $10,000 Bravo Pool-A-Thon participants and benevolent donors. The 23rd annual PoolA-Thon held February 23, was extremely prosperous, with $10,100 raised so far and additional donations still trickling in. In all, 2,396 lengths (33 miles) were swam by 62 enthusiastic swimmers! In addition, there were ten student participants who were not able to swim, but were kind enough to solicit donations towards our cause. This event raised funds to help keep the NCRD/Nehalem Elementary School Swim Program afloat. All proceeds from the Pool-A-Thon go directly towards the School Swim Instruction & Water Safety Awareness Program which impacts the lives of all students, kindergarten through 5th grade, as well as the adaptive swim students of District #56. Many thanks go to the 72 student participants. Because of their enthusiasm, hard work, and passion for swimming, the event was a great achievement! To the parents and families of these kids, we are truly appreciative for the tim and energy you gave your child throughout the Pool-A-Thon. Thanks for being the backbone of the fundraiser. You all are wonderful! An extended thank you to all the generous donors. By

‘We live in such a beautiful place’ I want to say a public thank you for everyone who helped my husband, Eric Lindahl, and me through his month of health problems, and after his passing at the end of February. His death was a shock to all of us, but I can’t imagine a more helpful and comforting response than our community has shown to me and our family. Neighbors brought us meals, flowers and visits; first responders came immediately and were so kind; friends helped with our pets; Vicar Patricia Millard and the congregation of St. Catherine Episcopal Church prepared their beautiful space for Eric’s service; Nehalem Bay Garden Club brought lovely plants; the Pine Grove Community Club hosted a potluck dinner afterward; Salt & Paper helped with programs; Sedona Fire gave heartfelt music; and so many people we know have sent cards, flowers, emails, and continuing love. It is no secret how much Eric loved living here, and how busy he became – our children and I have tried to recall all his activities, and it is a challenge! Riverbend Players, Manzanita Planning Commission, Pine Grove, Men’s Book and Cooking Clubs, Wednesday Hiking Group, Emergency Volunteer Corps, Garden Club and Master Gardeners, CERT, and Sedona Fire Band – all had his interest and time. So thank you all for caring and being our friends. If you want to do something in Eric’s memory, just get to know your neighbors and get involved. We live in such a beautiful place, with such special people – we are all fortunate to be sharing our stories. Linda Myers Manzanita tion.

A few years ago I showed the senator the problem we have with the river in front of Wheeler.

Living on the remote left edge of the country makes our connection with the rest of the country a bit sketchy at times. We are still the Wild West and kind of a fun place for others to visit now and then.

The rather extensive and someproduction process simply what unclear as a topic of has to be overseen to make “discussion” among different segments of the Jewish sure non-kosher items are not used. Therefore the community, but there are many general rules that are kosher symbol system was

agreed upon. A major aspect of kosher rules and regulations has to do with animals that can and cannot be consumed. Pig is probably one of more well represented taboo animals. Many ancient Near East cultures have prohibited swine. Pigs is the only common livestock animal that has split hooves but it does not ruminate (chew their cud). Pigs are considered scavengers and will eat anything including their own feces and much more. Their digestive system is very poor so toxins are allowed through and stored in the fat. Only fish that have fins and scales are allowed in a kosher diet. Shellfish, lobster, shrimp and clams are not considered clean in that live at the bottom of the ocean eating anything. Birds of prey are non-kosher, as the hormones that they produce are considered unhealthy for the meat. Morally, kosher laws for slaughter are based on sensitivity to the animals and their feelings. Many of these laws promote health and a better hygienic environment. In order for meat to be considered kosher and get an A+/“glatt kosher,” it must pass a number of regulations and there are special procedures that must occur by specially trained practitioner called a “shochet.” The slaughter must be done with the least amount of pain or fear to the animal. Once the animal is no longer alive, another team of experts will examine the animal to be sure the animal is without illness, abnormalities or anything else that can be considered unsanitary.

Certain fats and entrails, the sciatic nerve, and all blood must be removed. Except for the blood all of them can be eliminated with a knife by the shochet. Removing blood is more complicated. It must be done shortly after slaughter. After the blood veins have been removed, the cuts of meat are soaked in cold water and then sprinkled with coarse (koshering) salt. The salt draws the blood to the surface to be washed away. The meat is then soaked a second time. All of this is usually done at the slaughterhouse or butcher shop. Meat and milk cannot be eaten or cooked or used together at all. The reason for this prohibition is humanitarian. The practice cooking an animal in its mother’s milk is considered cruel. A kosher household will have at least two sets of pots and pans and dishes: one for meat and one for dairy. There are many more laws of kosher that go into more detail but the underlying rules are fairly simple. For many Jews and other similar cultures that have ingrained laws of eating do so because of what ancient texts have told them to do, but also because it establishes a kind of self control and discipline: “If a person can be disciplined in what and when he eats, it follows that he can be disciplined in other areas of life as well.” In addition, it elevates the simple act of eating into spiritual nourishment and a mitzvah (good deed) is done for our physical body. I am not kosher but I certainly adhere to the idea of doing good deeds for our body!

Options include antihistamines, decongestants, and corticosteroid nasal sprays. Desensitization techniques include making an extract of a specific allergen and injecting it under the skin in increasing doses. The purpose of this technique is to build up a patient’s tolerance to an allergen so they no longer react. Claritin is a popular antihistamine that is now available over the counter.

For the city’s part, the only cost it would incur would be that for writing and submitting the grant to OPRD, an amount, said City Manager Jeff Aprati that would not exceed $2,500. To sweeten the deal even further, Jelineo said he would be willing to split the cost of the grant application if for some reason the deal did not go through. In a process fraught with details, the city has until April 12 to submit its grant application. In the meantime, Jelineo and Scovell have contacted the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board about acquiring the wetlands parcel. “OWEB is very excited about the prospect of acquiring that piece,” said Jelineo.

With an April 12 deadline, it’s a pretty big leap of faith.” As for the sellers, Jelineo assured the council that he and Scovell would do everything they could to make the deal happen, but acknowledged that everyone, including OWEB or another conservatory interested in acquiring Bott’s Marsh, needed to be

After the loss of original member Lonesome Dave Peverett in 2000, the group collaborated with former Ted Nugent singer, Charlie Huhn. Since that time they have released several live albums, DVD collections, and their latest new album Last Train Home in 2010. The fair wraps up on Friday, Aug. 10.

Arbor week was celebrated the first full week of April this year with more than 300 fourth graders in Tillamook County rolling up their sleeves to plant a tree. The kids became members of Fourth Grade Foresters. The project’s goal is to help revitalize a remarkable idea – the observation of Arbor Day in America’s schools. Fourth graders at East Elementary, Garibaldi Elementary, Neskowin Valley, Nestucca Valley and Tillamook Adventist School in Tillamook County will received trees to take home and plant. “This project is made possible because The Tillamook SWCD covered the cost of each of the individually packaged evergreen trees, so that there is no cost to the students, the teachers, or the school,” said Ray Monroe, Water Quality Specialist, from the Tillamook

In addition, the appraisal could be a sticking point as Jelineo noted that he and Scovell “have a number we need met on the wetlands and upland portion.” The sellers hope to have the transaction successfully completed by year’s end, a scant nine months away. “It’s a matter of one step at a time, until that day the grant is accepted… by the end of the year I want to put this chapter of my life behind me,” said Jelineo. Lisa Phipps, director of the Tillamook Estuary Partnership, noted the organization was supportive of the acquisition of the property. “We’re more than happy to provide any

technical assistance, but not in grant writing…acquisition of property is not our specialty.” Lower Nehalem Community Trust Director Erich Miller cautioned that land acquisition is a “very complex process,” but that the Trust, which has been involved in acquiring a number of environmentally sensitive parcels of land in the Nehalem Bay area in recent years, is supportive and interested in helping to facilitate the process. 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

Obituaries Harry ‘Bill’ Linker Harry W. “Bill” Linker, fondly remembered as a teacher at Neah-Kah-Nie High School for thirty years, passed away suddenly in Tillamook on March 24, 2013 at the age of 83. Bill was born on June 15, 1929 in Fort Morgan, CO to Harry and Willamina (Kinkel) Linker. He earned his master’s degree at the University of

North Colorado in Greeley, CO. He taught for a brief period in Colorado, and it was there he met Barbara Bollman, a fellow teacher. They were married in Laird, CO in August 1953, and moved to Rockaway Beach in 1955. Mr. Linker taught at NeahKah-Nie High School until his retirement in 1985. Bill was a voracious reader, particularly Civil War history. He would tell you that he was a “font of useless trivia.” Bill, Barbara, and the children took advantage of summers off from teaching, traveling all over the country on driving vacations. Bill and Barbara also traveled abroad, visiting countries in Europe and

Asia. Bill later traveled to Russia with a church group. He was a very active Mason and a Shriner, as well as with Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church. He was a railroad enthusiast, collecting model trains and working as a conductor for the Port of Tillamook Railroad for a time. Bill was preceded in death by his wife Barbara in 1993. He will be missed by his children, Leah Linker Fletcher and husband Gill of Rockaway, David Linker and wife Lisa of Beaufort, SC; a brother, Jim Linker and wife Susanne of Puyallup, WA; five grandchildren, and six

great-grandchildren, as well as all the lives he touched with his humor and kindness. Bill’s life was celebrated at a memorial service at Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church on Saturday, March 30. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in his name to the NeahKah-Nie Alumni Scholarship Fund, which may be made care of Waud’s Funeral Home.

Roger (Morgan), both young and old, takes hold of the book from its opening pages.” – The Seattle Times “A dazzling new novel ... Lynch is masterful in contrasting this tale of the same city in two different eras.” – Barbara McMichael, The Bookmonger Following Lynch’s reading and a brief question and

Nikki Luxuria full-service salon welcomes Serendipity´s Jill Burch

SEASIDE - Seven years after attending beauty school in Astoria together, Nikki Scovel and Jill Burch are working together to offer a comfortable, full-service salon experience geared toward locals and tourists alike. Scovel opened Nikki Luxuria, located at 734 Broadway Street across from Yummy Wine Bar, in May. However, it wasn´t until March that the two teamed up. ¨Jill fits in perfectly here,¨ said Scovel. ¨We´re both happy and goofy.¨ ¨... And fun!¨ added Burch. Located in Seaside´s former First State Bank building, constructed in 1945, Nikki Luxuria´s architectural stateliness lends a level of elegance to a comfortable space. ¨People come in here and say they feel at home,¨ said Scovel. Ït´s a big space, but it´s still cozy.¨ Scovel graduated from Neah-Kah-Nie High School in 2005. She was raised in the Nehalem Bay area, where her parents still own Scovel´s Service Center. Ï grew up in the shop,” she said. When it came time to consider her future as an adult, she decided to find a way to stick around the north Oregon coast. Ï didn´t want to leave this area - it´s such a nice, beachy, coastal community,” she said. She enrolled at the former Paul Mitchell School in Astoria, later opening Nikki Luxuria. Ï thought about opening my business in Tillamook County, but I wanted a lot more foot traffic than I could get there,” said Scovel. ¨Seaside has a lot more tourists, and it´s not far from Nehalem.¨ Meanwhile, Burch, who grew up in Republic, Wash., had opened a salon in Nehalem. She moved to the north Oregon coast initially to attend Ecola Bible School in Cannon Beach. After graduating from beauty school, she opened Beauty at the Beach in Manzanita, in 2007. Three years ago, Burch opened Serendipity Salon, in Nehalem. When she learned about Nikki Luxuria, she began considering returning to Clatsop County. ¨Nikki said, ´How do you feel about working in Seaside?´¨ she said. Ï thought, Í´ve got a good thing going here.´ But I had been thinking about a bigger space, and I wanted to start over with new equipment. I visited (Nikki Luxuria), and the place had a really good feel. After a lot of prayer and consideration, I made the decision to go for it. The transition has been really smooth.¨

Courtesy photo The two continue to use their Astoria beauty school training in their daily work. ¨Paul Mitchell focuses on color and cuts,” said Scovel. ¨It´s fun to do something a little edgy. And we keep up on our education. In fact we´re going to a hair show soon. A lot of people don´t keep up with their education because they don´t have to, but doing hair is a practice.¨ Nikki Luxuria is a full-service salon, offering haircuts, color, facials, manicures, pedicures, tanning, makeup consultation, waxing, and a variety of products, including the Paul Mitchell hair line. It is available for bridal parties - Scovel and Burch even keep champagne on hand. Scovel said she has two more stations available to rent to other hairstylists, and ¨could use a nail tech or two.¨ In the meantime, ¨We take walk-ins if we have time,” said Scovel. ¨Everyone is welcome here. We offer high quality at a costefficient price.¨ Despite catering to clientele from all walks of life and economic backgrounds,¨Weŕe still country girls at heart,¨ said Burch. Reach Nikki Luxuria at 503-717-5377.

n Grant From page 1 too late, as some of Wood’s natural creations may have come tumbling down, either through forces of nature or by the hand of man. Like Goldsworthy, Wood’s latest artistic efforts employ the use of natural materials – twigs, rock, stones, leaves and bark – in producing the eye-catching works, about a half dozen in all. The intention is not to make a mark on the landscape, but rather to instinctively work with it and the natural materials at hand. “I’ve never seen anybody do anything like this here,” said Wood. “It’s not built to last. If they fall down, they go back to where they came from. People seem to like it…I kind of stay out of the way.” An egg-shaped structure made of stone atop an old piling took Wood about three weeks to produce, working off and on, and required upwards of ten backpacks of stone he ferried from a site not far away. Tired of carrying rock, Wood went to work carefully assembling the pieces of stone with the aid of a stepladder. Other pieces made of twigs and driftwood resembles a hut and a nest. His most recent effort was a tower next to the Wheeler train station made of stone with a few railroad ties appropriately included. Fellow artist Glenna Gray, who works across the street from the park at Wheeler Station Antiques, was so captivated by Wood’s work, she captured them with her camera. It’s a good thing she did, as the intricate egg-shape sculpture is no longer standing, a victim of kids “at play” it is believed. “Grant is such an awesome artist,” said Gray. “It was great to see his latest work and it reminded me so

Employing the use of twigs, driftwood and rocks, Grant Wood’s oneman art show was the subject of much conversation among those who visited Wheeler’s Waterfront Park in recent weeks. Photo by Glenna Gray much of Andy Goldsworthy’s work by using what he finds in nature.” An individual who guards his privacy, Wood has been a resident of Wheeler since July 2004, spending nearly 30 years on the north Oregon coast and living in Astoria and Cannon Beach prior to making his way to Wheeler. A naturalist, he looks at the world and lives his life a bit differently than most others. It’s no real surprise that he lists Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau among his favorite authors. He left the Cannon Beach after 15 years for Wheeler because the town had changed too much for his liking. “The natural area around Cannon Beach is still very inviting, but the town itself had changed over the years,” Wood explained. Too touristy, too much like Carmel. He doesn’t drive a car and depends on his legs mostly to get where he wants to go. A trip to neighboring communities becomes a journey, an opportunity to appreciate nature

along the way and observe things firsthand. “I’ve given thought to getting a bicycle and might do so, but as long as I can walk somewhere that’s what I’ll do. You can see so much more,” Wood said in an earlier interview with the Citizen. At the top of his “to-do” list is completing his book, which will undoubtedly offer further insight into his view of the world. It’s a project he’s had on the back burner long before arriving in Wheeler. Ironically, when asked about his best and worst traits, Wood, who turns 63 his next birthday, said he wasn’t patient enough but sees his curiosity and openness to ideas as a positive thing. Making his living as an artist and part-time handyman, Wood has enjoyed the mild springtime weather thus far and the opportunity it presented recently to get outside and test his creativity. It offered a reprieve, he says, from thinking about his book.

Manzanita loses out on $120,000 in uncollected fines The Headlight Herald The Citizen

It’s not everyday the City of Manzanita kisses goodbye $120,000 in potential revenue, but that’s exactly what occurred recently when councilors were informed that the financial obligations and citations of over 350 cases dating back to 1996 were discharged and the cases closed. Manzanita Municipal Court Judge Larry Blake, Jr. signed the order Feb. 13, 2013. “These are uncollectable debts, court fines on the court roles since 1996 that cannot be reassigned after ten years

Secondly, the funds used to pay for these signs were from private donations and it was volunteers who donated their time to place these signs. State law does not allow the county to contribute funds to promote the passage of this county road bond. Whoever vandalized these signs hurt the very

In a phone call to the Tillamook County Commissioner’s office, Kalkhoven learned that other large signs like hers placed in other parts of the county, ten in all, had been targeted as well, though lawn signs were apparently left undisturbed. Asked by the deputy who visited her home Monday morning if she would want to press charges should the perpetrator(s) be apprehended, Kalkhoven didn’t have to think twice. “Damn right,” she replied. The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

for the same offense,” City Manager Jerry Taylor explained to council members at the March meeting of the city council. “These are people we will likely never see again or who would be unable to pay.” “Suspensions for failure to appear and failure to comply have met statutory periods and the cases are not eligible for re-suspension. Additionally, any monetary judgments imposed have expired,” the order further stated. Fines, debts, and penalties during the five-year period from 1996 to 2001 ranged from $50 to $6,480, the bulk of which are traffic citations

and parking tickets. Asked if the amount had been considered revenue, Taylor told councilors that the city did not recognize it as revenue until it was received. “There’s nothing to be written off the city’s budget books,” he noted. Typically, if the city doesn’t receive payment within three to six months, those cited are sent to collections, Taylor told the Citizen, however, often times, the collection agency isn’t successful either. “It’s not like we don’t try to recover those outstanding amounts,” said Taylor.

people who donated their time and money to promote this bond. So, now what should the Road Campaign Committee do with these vandalized signs? Should they raise additional funds and have volunteers replace them? Or, should we leave them there and hope people understand that vandalism is always wrong? What message does either action give to the voters of our county? If they do replace the signs, what is to keep the vandals

from destroying the new signs? As you can see, the choices are not easy. At this time, they are thinking about leaving the vandalized signs in place and hope that the people of Tillamook County condemn this illegal activity and deliver a message that regardless of how they intend to vote, they don’t appreciate having their free speech protections violated.

Weekend EVC Disaster Preparedness Expo attracts 150 attendees By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Building on lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy, the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay hosted its third disaster preparedness fair in as many years this past weekend, the day before Easter. “We had over 150 attendees, some who came from as far away as Astoria and Pacific City,” said EVC President Linda Kozlowski. “I think that is a reflection of our countywide outreach to help other communities develop their own emergency preparedness teams. The idea is to get as many people involved as we can.” This time around, in collaboration with the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District, the EVC concentrated more on the preparedness aspect following a major disaster. With the Nehalem Bay area likely isolated for weeks following an earthquake and tsunami, more attention was focused on survival strategies following a major disaster with on-site classes and exhibits. An instructional class led by EVC volunteer Bill Peek on FRS radio (walkietalkie) communication was one of particular importance, said Kozlowski. With the normal lines of communication no longer available, communication by FRS radio will be the only way people will be able to communicate locally with each other. Peek will teach another FRS class this fall, according to Kozlowski. An exhibit created with the help of EVC volunteers Stewart Martin and Jim Fanjoy dealt with water sanitation, hygiene and hu-

Warm weather helps spring beach cleanup effort Sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted volunteers who turned out in Manzanita and Nehalem Bay State Park to participate in the spring beach cleanup on Saturday, Mar. 30. About 3,700 volunteers in all, local residents and spring break visitors, combed the state’s beaches and coastlines. One year after the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, volunteers locally as well as in other Oregon coastal communities were on the lookout for any sign of tsunami debris that may have reached shore. However, at day’s end, the beach cleanup effort sponsored by SOLVE (formerly SOLV), found

man waste disposal. “This is going to be a very important from an individual and community standpoint,” said Kozlowski. “I thought the exhibit did a wonderful job of showing the best and easiest way to handle the hygiene issues.” Next up for the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay is its annual meeting scheduled for 3 p.m., April 22, at Pine Grove Community House. Disaster expert Patrick Corcoran will be the featured speaker talking about the 2013 Oregon Resilience Report that outlines the aftermath of what Oregon coast residents can expect following “the big one.” “It’s really chilling,” said Kozlowski of the new report. “It could be as much as three months before we see outside help and three

Massaged Kale Salad Be creative with this delicious salad. Quinoa, while optional, adds a nice toasty crunch and packs in the protein.

For the salad:

5 1/2 1/2 1 1 1/4

cups of chopped and de-stemmed Kale cup of chopped toasted nuts of your choice (walnuts are very good here) cup chopped fresh strawberries (or 1/4 cup of dried cranberries) apple cubed cup of cooked quinoa, cooled (optional) of crumbled feta cheese

For the vinaigrette: 1/4 2-3 1 1 2-3

Real Estate standards for those with “Higher” Expectations.

Start with your vinaigrette first; pour everything into a jar and shake it up until well mixed. Or you can do it in the blender, which I prefer. Add everything but the olive oil to the blender and whiz it up, then slowly, very slowly while the blender is going, drizzle in the olive oil. This will cause some emulsifying, which I really like in dressing but it is not necessary, just nice. Set aside the dressing while you prepare the salad. After de-stemming your kale, put it in a large bowl and pour the vinaigrette over the beautiful leaves. Massage vinaigrette into the kale with your hands for about five minutes. You will notice the size of the leaves will decrease significantly and you will feel the leaves becoming more tender. After this stage, you can put the salad in the fridge for up to 12 hours. When you are ready to eat the salad, toss the massaged kale with the rest of the ingredients and serve immediately. Enjoy your whole foods in good health!
