Nothing but blue skies and “million dollar views” greeted those who attended Wheeler’s centennial celebration Saturday afternoon, July 20, at Waterfront Park.

The celebration brought together townspeople along with nearby area residents to pay homage to the small coastal community and its 100 years of history.

Taking part was Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler, the great grandson of C.H. Wheeler, who owned a lumber mill in the early 1900s and for whom the town is named after.

Celebrating a town’s centennial “is a pretty rare event,” said Wheeler. “It gives us the chance not only to look back, but to The musical group Coaster performed throughout the afternoon of July 20 at Waterfront Park helping look forward.” entertain locals, nearby residents and visitors who gathered for Wheeler’s centennial celebration. Blue Wheeler noted that his skies and warm temperatures were the order of the day helping attract a good-sized crowd. Photos by Dave See WHEELER, page 10 Fisher

Manzanita Beach Run sets new participation record Sun, Fun, Run – NCRD’s beach run continues to grow

Early morning cool weather failed to put a damper on a record-setting crowd as the 23rd Annual

Manzanita Beach Walk & Run began. The North County Recreation District organized fundraising event has continued to show significant growth the past two years. Pre-registrations topped out at 326 by Friday, July 19, a new preregistration record. Overall

With the five-year local option tax passed by voters in 2008 due to expire next year, the North County Recreation District, in a 4-0 decision by its board at its July 11 meeting, approved a resolution to submit to voters another fiveyear levy on the November ballot – in essence, renewing the current levy. The vote likely would have been unanimous had board member John Coopersmith, not been absent.

Instead, Coopersmith submitted a letter to be included in the minutes of the meeting outlining his support of renewing the current levy.

A new record!

At right: Over 350 people participated in this year’s Manzanita Beach Run & Walk, setting a new record and eclipsing the previous record set just last year.

S.H.E. Warriors step up to the challenge

school year came to a close, continuing their training through the summer up until race day. Upon completion of the run, the girls were awarded special “pink edition” of the event medals to commemorate their achievement.

Additional groups joined in, including runners from Mo’s Chowder, who handed out wooden nickels good for a free bowl of chowder, and Stimson Lumber, one of many sponsor of this year’s event. Families from across the country joined as well, coming from Texas, New York, along with international groups from Canada and

From page 1 helped spur the surge in participation numbers,” said race director Jeremy Hill, who also serves assistant director for NCRD’s Fitness Center.

This year’s run featured a group of local elementary school girls called the S.H.E. Warriors. The group began training for the Manzanita Beach Run shortly before the

the United Kingdom.

“It was a great turnout and a great run… I’m looking forward to next year’s run already, a big thanks from NCRD to this year’s volunteers for doing such a wonderful job and for helping make it a great time for everyone,” said Hill, who was congratulated by race officials from Portland Running Company, who help orchestrate the event.

Will the Manzanita Beach Run be even bigger and better in 2014, its 24th year running? If Hill has anything to say about it, it most likely will.

If you were a spectator on the sidelines at this year’s Manzanita Beach Run & Walk, you probably noticed a group of girls, along with a few moms, sporting bright pink t-shirts that said “S.H.E. Warriors” on the front, and on the back “Love yourself… be kind to others.” The group was hard to miss.

The S.H.E. Warriors, made up of Nehalem Elementary 4th and 5th grade girls, came into being this past spring – its mission: to develop friendship skills, improve self esteem and work towards being physically fit.

“It really about bringing them together,” said Erin Hanson, a 4th and 5th grade instructor at the school.

It seemed only natural that the group would culminate its inaugural year by training for and running in the 5K Manzanita run on July 20.

Upwards of 25 girls, which included a few mothers, rose to the challenge and participated in this year’s event on the beach.

“It has been one of the most impactful things I’ve seen,” said Kristi Woika, principal of Nehalem Elementary. “Girls have been pushed out of their comfort zone and they have risen to the occasion. A by-product of this is that parents are taking notice and exercising with their children, spending quality time with them. It’s been a real bonus.”

Modeled after the national organization Girls on the Run, the S.H.E. Warriors recently attained nonprofit status.

“Our plan is to expand and develop a better curriculum,” said Hanson as the club moves forward. “And we’ll probably continue to train in the fall and spring and take the winter off. I don’t think the girls would like running in the rain very much.”

NKN music program gets donated piano For the Citizen

Neah-Kah-Nie’s music program has a new piano – courtesy of a supporter of the Mudd-Nick Foundation.

Cheryl Lutz, whom NKN choir director Michael Simpson described as “a friend of the Mudd-Nick Foundation,” donated the Young-Chang baby grand piano. Lutz reportedly heard from Jim and Lynn Mudd about the fundraiser organized last year by Simpson NKN music students with the new piano.

and recording engineer Larry Schaefer that raised $1,500 toward purchase of a new piano for the school.

Lutz donated her piano and, according to Simpson, decided to donate the shipping cost as well so the music department could use its $1,500 to maintain and tune the piano. The piano had to be shipped from Los Angeles to Rockaway Beach.

“It’s been a great tool for us to do a lot of things,”

Simpson said.

The Mudd-Nick Foundation has also offered to fix all the band instruments that need repairs, Simpson said.

“It was quite a list.” The repairs are being done over the summer, he said.

Schaefer, whose recording studio is in Bayside Gardens, is now on the Mudd-Nick Foundation board and “is pushing for more music-related assistance,” Simpson said.

Fair, just around the corner, is not to be missed. It runs from August 7-10 and has something for everyone.

The theme this year is “Got a Good Thing Growing.”

The Tillamook County Fair is one of the top ten fairs in the nation. It has more dairy animals on display than any other county fair in the state and showcases a Master Gardener demonstration garden, built in the late 1980s on what was once a gravel parking lot. The 4-H and FFA exhibits of everything from clothing, foods and livestock displays to art, photography and science projects are an inspiring example of kids doing great things. The Huckleberry Health Fair provides free health screenings on certain days, and the Fair Acres Learning Center gives you the chance to experience being farmer for a day. Add in courtyard entertainment, Brad’s World Reptiles, horse racing and the world famous Pig-N-Ford Races plus free grandstand shows in the evening, the carnival and Demolition Derby, and it spells SUMMER FUN! Last year, I won blue ribbons at the fair for a number of my flower specimens, and a first place ribbon for my pool ball zucchini, a plant start I got from Alder Creek Farm in Nehalem. The fair has become a family tradition for us and we wouldn’t think of missing it.

All obituary announcements are placed on the North Coast Citizen website at no cost.

city councils and various boards this time of year are short and sweet, a blessing of sorts, but if you’re in the news business there’s little news to report. The last important order of business prior to summer is the approval of operating budgets for the coming fiscal year in June. After that, elected officials begin to disappear. Agendas are short. Who wants to sit in a meeting room that has become warmer and stuffier?

It’s only because there is an election in November that county commissioners and NCRD board members are working overtime. Tillamook County wants to initiate a transient lodging tax while the North County Recreation District is looking for voters to renew its five-year local option tax. With a deadline looming to get initiatives on the ballot, dog days have been delayed for these entities.

Fortunately, this is a rare circumstance.

And, there’s this bit of good news. Muttzanita, Manzanita’s annual celebration of dogs (even the red ones), has been moved back from August to the second Saturday in September this year. Dog days are alive and well on the north Oregon coast, and they have been extended, at least in these parts, past the month of August.

Enjoy!

Raffle raises $680 for Kiwanis The Kiwanis Club of ManzaWhee-Lem thanks all who supported

The Secret Angels located in Nehalem. They are gearing up their back-to-school program to get kids started in school with new clothes, coats, and shoes plus school supplies and a backpack. These items are crucial to a child’s self esteem and getting started on the right foot.

Several years ago I was reading with a second grader at the Nehalem

Grade School. He was squirming more then usual. I noticed he could not keep his feet from moving and then realized his feet really smelled.

He had some sort of foot disease wearing used tennis shoes. Obviously, the whole situation was not good for learning. After our session I went to the school office and let them know of my observations. I was sent to the Secret Angels office where they provided me with new shoes and some pairs of socks. I later learned it was arranged for the child to go to the Rinehart Clinic where he was treated for his foot disease. Once again, our villages stepped up for a child.

Whatever you can do is greatly appreciated. Many thanks for caring and giving to get these kids off to a good start in school. Many of them need all the help they can get.

To learn how you can help, contact Nancy Bogle, in Nehalem, at (503) 801-6698 or Cheryl James at (503) 368-3845. Monetary gifts may be mailed to: TCSA, P.O. Box 208, Nehalem, OR 97131 Best and happy summer!

Do you want to buy a duck?

When you get to the point in your life that you are less of a “doer” and more of a “rememberer” it gets hard to shut off the memories of that flood of events and people that you ran across during your life time. One of our blessings is that ability our mind has to block out unhappy events that could overshadow those good times.

Looking back at things like six days of hiking across the Olympic Peninsula you can only remember the beauty of the country and the joy of making it to the summit of the mountain or ridge that you had climbed. With just a little prodding I found myself thinking of the fact that something went bad with my right foot on the first day’s hike. I couldn’t even stand on it after taking off my boots. The next morning I had to roll up a sock that was placed under my heel and that slightly relieved the pain that I felt on every step of the trip. That sore foot sure didn’t keep me from enjoying a wonderful time.

While in the Navy, I trained to become a submarine swimmer and went through the school at Coronado Beach along with UDT that are now

On the other hand, there are constant efforts by charitable organizations and others in need to gain the support they have to have to maintain their survival expectations.

There are some basic things that a person can do to make them a better sales person.

First of all is the first impression as you start your sales effort. An interest creating statement or remark will get the call off on the right foot.

Clarity and honesty must be present and the goal is to have the customer make the decision to buy your product or service. That decision will be positive if you have convinced the person that it is in their best interest to make the purchase.

At a later time, when you run across a satisfied customer who tells you they are still happy with what they bought, it helps take away the memories of all those calls that were not successful. You can get back to work and feel good that you made another person’s life better.

Valley. Here are some of their stories:

Phyllis Schollmeyer Stephens In 1926, Dr. Harvey Rinehart cared for Phyllis’ mother Eva during the at-home birth of her sister, Frances. Phyllis remembers seeing Dr. Harvey at his office behind what is now the old pharmacy-building parking lot, facing Rorvik St. in the 1930s. Phyllis and her family have made doctor visits to nearly all of the clinic’s locations, as well as had Rinehart physicians make house calls.

“When I was in high school in the 1940s, I had severe strep throat,” said Phyllis. “Dr. White came to see me at home every day and gave me penicillin shots. For over 80 years, we have received care from the clinic that’s been above and beyond. They take care of us just like we’re family.”

Her father, August Schollmeyer, was treated for rheumatoid arthritis by Dr. Harvey Rinehart and the treatments kept him from being bed-ridden like his mother.

August remained active and worked on the family farm well into his 80s. When the clinic was established in downtown Wheeler at the former Rector Hotel (presently the Old Wheeler Hotel) in 1940, one memorable element was the elevator, which was necessary to access the basement where the lab, x-ray and physical therapy departments were located. This elevator required an operator and for years, well into her 80s, Clara Schollmeyer (Phyllis’ aunt) was the elevator operator at The Rinehart Clinic. For many a frightened child about to have blood drawn, a shot or an x-ray of a broken bone, it started with that trip down in the elevator.

Beverly Miles Stephens “Dr. White was my doctor from the time I was 10 years old, until she retired,” said Beverly. “She was just the very best.”

That time period would span Dr. White’s career, from when she started practicing in Wheeler in 1945 until the 1980s when she retired. Dr. White saw early signs of lung cancer in Bev’s mom,

n TLT From page 1 “Normally we would have only held two, but we wanted to make sure we got it right,” said County Chief of Staff Paul Levesque of the July 17 meeting.

The commissioners continued to make changes to the two ordinances right up until the end, especially in the section regarding the allocation of funds for tourism promotion and tourism-related facilities.

“Based on the testimonies we heard, the board decided to take a step back and look at a different approach,” explained Levesque.

At a previous meeting held July 10, the commissioners agreed on some substantial changes, including increasing the tax to 10 percent with a nine percent credit to cities.

“We received an overwhelming abundance of testimony to change the tax rate,” said Levesque of the decision to change the tax formula.

The board will still contract with either the Tillamook County Economic Development Council or another tourism-promotion agency to allocate and distribute the funds. The added changes address stipulations following the execution of that contract.

The contracting entity will: • Annually conduct a county-wide needs assessment of tourism related facilities.

• Develop and amend as necessary county-wide/regional strategies for tourism

Join the Rinehart celebration

Sunday, July 28, from 1 - 4 p.m. in Nehalem The big day is nearly here and everyone is invited, especially those with a “connection” to The Rinehart Clinic, to the Community Festival on Sunday, July 28, from 1 to 4 p.m. in Nehalem. With the clinic’s 100-year history, there are many people with many connections.

Say event organizers, “We have all had the experiences of ‘it’s a small world’ when we encounter friends or family. As we have gathered historical encounters from community members, we have found the roots of The Rinehart Clinic are deep and all encompassing in this area. Many people contacted the clinic to share their ‘story,’ which often led to another story and another connection.

Edna Miles, and sent her to a specialist in Portland. She had her lung removed and lived 16 years longer to the age of 78. In 1954, married only one month to Bob Stephens, her husband had an emergency appendectomy surgery in the upstairs of the old clinic building in Wheeler. Bev was an employee for the clinic from 1979 to 1980, during the “big move.” In 1980, The Rinehart Clinic moved from downtown Wheeler (currently the Old Wheeler Hotel building) to near its present location up on the hill.

“We packed a lot of boxes, those were before the days of electronic records, and there promotion.

• At least twice annually convene an advisory committee comprised of citizens, local government representatives and tourism promotion agency members.

• Within the first year of the contract, present to the board for approval a tourism needsassessment report; recommendations on proposed percentage allocations for promotion and facilities; and a proposed budget for administration and overhead.

In subsequent years, the report will also include details on how the previous year’s funds were spent and updates on those projects.

“This creates benchmarks and a process of checks and balances to assure equity in the process,” said Levesque.

Once that process has concluded, the board will hold a public hearing concerning the report and either approve it or not.

“It does not create earmarks for specific projects but creates a process for the community to come together each year,” explained Levesque. “The commissioners ultimately will have the final say.”

No funds will be released until the board has approved the report each year as well as the contracting entity’s performance the year prior.

While those who showed up to the third hearing were appreciative of the changes, there was mixed feelings between the unincorporated areas and some of the cities.

“The unincorporated areas will be raising $1.4 million

“The Rinehart Clinic has proudly served the North Tillamook County for 100 years, bringing high quality compassionate health care to all, and will continue to provide the best healthcare to all for the next 100 years.”

Join the celebration on July 28 and enjoy the many historical displays and “Ask the Doctor.” An additional highlight will be a timber exhibition acknowledging the clinic’s connection to the timber industry, as Dr. Harvey Rinehart came to the area to be the Wheeler Mill physician. Dr. Harry Rinehart continues to care for local loggers and mill workers and their families, as well as many retired residents and visitors today.

were hundreds of patients charts,” Bev commented.

Shirley Potter A childhood friend (and neighbor) of Bev Stephens, Shirley has lived all 80 years of her life in Manzanita. Shirley’s mother, Ann Adamscheck Lewis, was born in Germany and came to the area when she was two years old. There were many people of German descent in the Nehalem Valley and they encouraged others to come to this part of the U.S. Shirley continues to be a patient at The Rinehart Clinic, beginning with visits with Dr. White in for the county,” said Jeremy Storber, President of Kiwanda Hospitality Group. “Meanwhile Rockaway Beach has decided to raise their city TLT, effectively eliminating $75,000 from the county to keep and control in their own district.

When this kind of thinking exists, how are you ever going to disperse of the money fairly?”

Manzanita Mayor Gary Bullard said his city wouldn’t be able to operate effectively without its city TLT, which it enacted in 2003.

“There is responsibility and accountability that comes with being a city and I might recommend that [south county] incorporate,” he said.

Pacific City/Nestucca Chamber of Commerce President Merrianne Hoffman said she supports county-wide tourism promotion, although she didn’t agree with every aspect of the ordinances.

“If we were to incorporate,” she said, “that would take back a significant portion of the road effort and that’s not really what we want to do.”

Commissioner Bill Baertlein assured those present that south county will rank pretty high on the needs-assessment analysis because it hasn’t had the funds available before to improve infrastructure.

Commissioner Tim Josi concurred. “This is a tool that can really bring people together and develop that trust that has been lacking between north and south county.”

“I believe we have bent over backwards to listen to and incorporate your

the 1950s. Her mother, Ann, and Shirley’s and husband, Billy, ran a restaurant and boarding house just south of the clinic in downtown called the Wheeler Inn. The rooms above the restaurant were mainly occupied by railroad workers – a rather wild bunch, according to Shirley.

The Wheeler Inn had a bar, which was heavily frequented by the railroad men, mill workers, loggers and the many other rough-and-tumble residents of this area during the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s era. It was the main place in Wheeler to eat. Many people who came to The Rinehart Clinic and received treatment for arthritis

ate there as they stayed several days for treatments. For a time, the Wheeler Inn prepared lunch and delivered it to the employees at the clinic.

Billy has been featured in several of ‘Doc’ Rinehart’s stories throughout the years.

Bill Potter recalls that he worked on the construction of the Rinehart Hospital building while in high school in the early 1950s.

Barbara Woodward Knapp From cradle to cradle Dr. Harry Rinehart’s mother, Dr. Dorothy White, delivered Barbara’s older sister, Judi, Barbara and her brother Mike. When the clinic’s history research began, Barbara, a clinic employee at the time, mentioned a photo that she remembered from the mid-1950s that showed the first babies delivered by Dr. White at the “new’ Harvey E. Rinehart Memorial Hospital that included her mother and sister. When a photo was brought in to the clinic, the thought was “Oh, here’s the photo.”

When Barbara looked at the photo, she was delighted to see herself, her sister and her little brother. It was determined that the photo was taken in 1959 – not the “first” photo of Dr. White with the babies

thoughts,” Commissioner Mark Labhart added. “It’s not going to be perfect, we know that, but let’s move ahead because I believe we’ll be able to look back in a few years and see that we did what was best for Tillamook County overall.”

Language was also added to clarify that this tax is not intended to repeal or supersede any existing TLT enacted by a city.

she delivered, but certainly a milestone moment. Dr. White continued to doctor Barbara’s family, which included yearly bouts of tonsillitis, along with tetanus shots when they stepped on a nail. “She was probably the doctor that met us at The Rinehart Clinic, then in downtown Wheeler on the corner, to set my broken wrist in the middle of the night when I was five,” recalled Barbara.

Back in the “old” days, the State of Oregon required a premarital exam and Dr. White took care of this for Barbara, too, in 1977. At the time, Barbara let Dr. White know that she wanted her to deliver her babies as well, when the time came. “She politely declined,” said Barbara, “saying that she gave that up some years before because she needed her full night’s sleep.”

Hoffman Center Clay Studio expands hours to meet demand

Several times each week, a handful of local artists, ranging from novice to pro, gather at the Hoffman Center Clay Studio in Manzanita to work in their medium and share ideas and expertise.

The studio provides an unusual opportunity in such a small community, said Hoffman Center Clay Program volunteer and founder Kathleen Ryan. “We’d love to see more people use it. We want the general public involved.

You get excited when other people come in. We learn so much from each other.”

In recent months, owing to popular demand, the Hoffman Center has expanded its Clay Studio hours to include an ongoing weekend session.

“There’s some very interesting work that comes out of here,” said Bruce Phillips, program volunteer coordinator.

Phillips, said Ryan, “is a facilitator. He is the program’s liaison to the (Hoffman Center) Board.”

According to Phillips, Ryan, a founding Hoffman Center Board member, started the organization’s clay program. “She said, ‘You can’t do an arts center without ceramics,’” he said.

“I did some research and found out that you need a clay program if you want your arts center to be taken seriously,” said Ryan, an artist who lives in Neahkahnie. In the fall of 092111:Lay 2007, the Hoffman Center bought Dragonfire Gallery´s

By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Will this be the summer of discovery? The summer investigators associated with the Beeswax Ship Project, once and for all, pinpoint the exact location of a Spanish galleon thought to have wrecked off the north Oregon coast sometime between 1693 and 1705?

Scott Williams, lead investigator of the Beeswax Ship Project, certainly hopes so but he’s hedging his bets. “Hopefully, this is our summer.

We’re hoping we get some answers, but I’ve been at this so long… we’re, once again, at the mercy of the weather and ocean conditions,” said Williams, who has been at it seven years now. “I got involved in 2006, but the project actually goes back a couple of years earlier to 2004. Field work actually commenced in 2007.”

Most of that fieldwork has been concentrated on Nehalem spit and offshore near Manzanita and the base of Neahkahnie Mountain.

What’s different this time around is investigators now have the “gear, boat and people” in place as they zero in on sites where they think the sailing ship might be. As far as Williams and others are concerned, it’s not a question of whether or not there’s a sunken Spanish galleon somewhere offshore, it’s a matter of exactly where it is and which galleon – the Santo Christo de Burgos, which vanished in 1693 or San Francisco Xavier, which is believed to have gone down in 1705.

Beginning in mid-August, Williams and his cohorts will gather in Manzanita for what Williams describes as a oneweek “big push” to locate the actual wreck. That could be followed by additional visits to the area later in August and September based on what investigators discover.

“At this point, I would

Courtesy photo be happy just to discover the wreck. We can determine which galleon it was at a later date,” Williams said of the effort that for the past two or three years has been “rather quiet.” The missing elements have always been the right equipment and the permits to explore offshore. Both are now in place, along with the volunteers.

“The big thing was the equipment,” Williams noted, most importantly a boat moored close by to take advantage of windows of opportunity when they arise. To the rescue was Mitch Marken, an underwater archeologist who Williams became acquainted with a few years back following a segment that aired on the Public Broadcasting show History Detectives.

“Mitch bought the boat just for this, an old 42-foot fishing boat named the Sea Pirate,” said Williams, who, along with Marken, finds the vessel’s name most appropriate for its mission.

Marken doesn’t live in the area but he moors the boat in Garibaldi, about an hour away from the sites that have shown the most promise. “It’s actually one big survey site and depending on the hits we get of underwater anomalies, we’ll judge which ones look the best to further investigate,” Williams elaborated.

In addition to the boat and detection equipment, several local volunteers enamored with the saga of the Beeswax Ship are on board as well, including divers. “It is a community project, really,” said Tom Mock, president of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society that hosted a fundraising program on July 13, for the Beeswax Ship Project featuring Williams as the main speaker.

For his part, Mock believes through this latest effort the investigation will finally produce positive results. “After all this time, we’ll finally be able to identify the ship and solve this mystery. It will be the single-most important maritime discovery on the West Coast.” To help support the unfunded all-volunteer effort, the historical society is selling upwards of 50 tickets at $25 each, from which four winners will be drawn to venture out on the Sea Pirate along with a guest. Just one round trip to Manzanita from Garibaldi uses about $150 in gas, according to Mock.

The story of the Beeswax Ship dates back 300 years or more. The beeswax-laden ship, believed to be of Asian origin under the flag of Spain, met its demise on or near Nehalem spit sometime between 1640 and 1705. Throughout

the years, beeswax in blocks and candles have been found in the vicinity, along with pieces of teak wood that that were part of the ship. The artifacts in various collections seem to be consistent with a late 17th or early 18th century Manila galleon.

In late 2012, a 998-page document, all about the Santo Christo de Burgos, was discovered in Spain. In it is listed the crew, the cargo and how the ship was built. Williams and Mock see it as a valuable source of information should the wreck be discovered and the time comes to verify its identity. The only glitch is that much of it needs to be translated as present-day Spanish, like other languages, isn’t quite the same as it was over 300 years ago.

Though there are those who contend the galleon is the San Francisco Xavier, Williams believes it was the Santo Christo de Burgos, the pre-1700 tsunami ship that disappeared, based on the spread out nature of beeswax and other artifacts that have been discovered over the years.

“If you read the historical accounts of findings, it fits a pre-tsunami wreck rather than a post-tsunami wreck.

The wreck is though to have broken up which explains discoveries on Nehalem spit. Beeswax has been discovered a mile of more inland. No winter storm could have spread artifacts from the wreck that widespread,” Williams contends, sharing the same view as Curt Peterson, PhD, of Portland State University, a geologist specializing in Northwest

Coastal dune systems and the effects of tsunamis on coastal beaches. Peterson, in earlier visits to the area, studied the effect of the 1700 tsunami on Nehalem Spit and how it related to the Beeswax Wreck.

Should the project team determine the site of the wreck and verify that it is indeed a Spanish galleon, funding, which has been for the most part out-of-pocket for the

the studio offers a Raku firing outside the building. Raku is a 16th century Japanese pottery technique that involves loading pieces into a hot kiln, usually an open pit or a barrel, in which temperatures reach firing levels in as soon as 15 or 20 minutes, as opposed to traditional kiln firings in which it can take 8 to 24 hours or even more to completely fire a piece.

Clay Studio artists tend to be prolific, generating enough work for an exhibition.

Last summer, the Hoffman Center’s Clay Studio and Life Drawing Studio joined to present a show of their work.

The Hoffman Center Clay Studio, located at 594 Laneda Avenue, in Manzanita, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. The cost is $2 per hour for studio use and $2 for 2 pounds of clay. These prices include the cost of glazing and firing.

There aren’t many rules at the Clay Studio. Organizers ask that an adult accompany children 11 and younger.

And, “we ask for respect,” said Phillips. “For example, if you’re going to take a cell phone call, takes it outside.”

The Clay Studio accepts tax-deductible financial and material donations. Learn more at www.hoffmanblog. org or by emailing your questions to hoffmanclaystudio@ gmail.com.

Program host Dee Koscheski, of Nehalem, is also among those who took the plunge. “I always wanted to work in clay, but never had any training,” she said. “Then, three-and-a-half years ago, I ended up here.” Koscheski, having taken a class in how to use the potter’s wheel, has “been here ever since.” After a few studio sessions, she said the art of clay became a part of her day-to-day life. “You start thinking of all these cool things you can make. I tend to do practical stuff, often foodoriented.”

“I’m a little obsessed with teapots,” said host Judes Hauer, another Clay Studio host.

The program is open to accepting new hosts on an ongoing basis. In fact, the Hoffman Center board and other volunteers encourage anyone interested to contact them, as more hosts means more studio time. “It’s our goal to be open more hours, because this is a dedicated space,” said Ryan, of the clay studio.

Although the program mainly consists of studio time, it occasionally holds workshops. “We recently offered a Basic Wheel class,” said Phillips.

However, “don’t wait for a class,” said Koscheski. “Just drop on in.”

The studio’s kiln is active, with firings of formed, glazed clay conducted regularly outside of studio hours.

I know it sounds weird, but honestly it is delicious. The hubby and I have actually gotten to where we truly prefer cauliflower pizza crust over bread crusts. It takes a

1 teaspoon of dried basil OR 1 tablespoon of fresh basil, minced 1 egg 2 tablespoons of coconut flour 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil Heat the oven to 425 degrees. While it is heating, mix the cheese, garlic, salt and basil with the cauliflower until well mixed. Crack your egg in the bowl and blend it in well. Sprinkle the coconut flour over the cauliflower mixture, and then mix it together. Drizzle the olive oil over the whole mix and stir some more until all happy and mixed together. Your batter will be wet and loose, unlike nice doughy bread.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to make my paper stick to

bit of work but you will thank me, I promise. Just take a walk on the wild side and try it. One of the great benefits to this pizza crust is that it is low carb, no grain and very healthy for you. (Unlike most pizza.)

I have found some great

secrets to making cauliflower pizza crusts after a lot of testing. Okay, let’s start from the very beginning. To prepare your cauliflower, you can either grate it with a regular cheese grater or let the food processor do the work for you. I personally like to use my food processor. I cut the cauliflower into small pieces, put in the processor in small batches and pulse till it’s finely minced. It doesn’t work to well to just set the processor to “on” as all the cauliflower just sticks to the side of the bowl and end of mincing. So remember, just pulse.

If you are in a hurry, you can prepare the cauliflower the day before and keep in the fridge until you are ready.

This really speeds up the prep time when making the pizzas. When I get one of those

the sheet by lightly oiling the baking sheet then laying the paper on the oiled surface and pressing it down and ta da!

Stuck. Next, drop big blops of the batter into two equal portions on the paper and then pat them out into nice neat circles about 1/2 inch thick. Pop into the oven to bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or so or until the crusts are browning around the edges and the center springs back when you touch it.

Remove from the oven and spread with pizza sauce, cooked meat, veggies of choice and thin slices of fresh mozzarella (my favorite). Pop back in the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your satisfaction. Pull out of the oven and slide

mammoth cauliflowers in the box, I will sometimes mince the whole thing when I have time, so that I can make this pizza crust a couple days in a row. (We never tire of pizza!)

Just remember that the cauliflower will go bad faster in this state.

This is one dish you must let your imagination and the contents of your fridge run wild. Just remember that if you are using “wet” veggies like zucchini, onions, eggplant or mushrooms, it pays to sauté them first so they won’t make a puddle around your pizza crust when cooking. Top with fresh tomatoes after taking the completed pizzas from the oven, for similar reasons. Most of all, have fun and use up a bunch of veggies in a creative, fun and healthy manner.

onto plates and eat immediately. (With a knife and fork.) Enjoy your walk on the wild side! You won’t go back.

Suggested pizza toppings • Ground Italian bulk sausage, cooked • Canadian bacon • Shredded cooked chicken • Cooked bacon, crumbled • Sliced olives or roasted garlic • Sautéed mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, or fennel blubs • Chopped sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, and kale • Thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, or grated provolone, or crumbled feta

‘Wake up at The Roost’: Old Wheeler Hotel corner space home to an eatery once again Open since the Fourth of July, The Roost Coffee House is Wheeler’s newest eatery, occupying the corner of the Old Wheeler Hotel complex at Gregory and US 101. “It is,” says owner Heidi Cummins, “the perfect location.”

Cummins, who has lived in the Nehalem Bay area for 30 years with husband Rick, has been a business owner previously and is well aware of the seasonal aspect of being in business in coastal communities. Most recently she was employed by Jan Dawson, owner of Hugo’s drivethrough espresso and coffee stand in Nehalem, where she worked for three years.

In the 1990s, she owned Manzanita Vacation Rentals during which time Rick, the soup maker at The Roost, helped manage the San Dune Pub in Manzanita.

“I’ve looked at a couple

of other opportunities to do something like this,” said Cummins, who harbors a passion for baking, “but I passed them up, and then this popped up and I decided it was time for me to give it a try.”

Still fine-tuning her

business plan, Cummins offers simple, yet tasty, “wake-up” fare, including breakfast sandwiches made with homemade English muffins, scones, savory pastries, cinnamon rolls and more. Everything is homemade, she says, ex-

his opposition to seeking another five-year levy.

“The road tax just took a big bite. It’s a lot of money if you own a lot of property,” said Huber, who suggested that the board at least consider reducing the current $.40 per $1,000 of assessed value amount. “It would be a nice gesture,” he said, while also noting that in his tenure on the board he “tried to view things on how they would be handled in the private sector.”

Huber was replaced on the board by Jack Bloom, who was sworn in at the July meeting. In the other seat up for grabs in the May election, John Coopersmith was re-elected.

In the course of five years, with the passage of the initial five-year operating levy, the district will have set aside $1 million towards the construction of a new pool, adding to the confusion what the levy was intended for. “It has nothing to do with the pool,” Nunn reiterated. “It is strictly for operations and maintenance.”

Shortly after voters approved the local option tax in 2008, the existing board made the decision to save money for a new pool through timber revenue it receives annually. The argument was that those funds, because of the unpredictability of the timber market and how much the district receives each year, should be earmarked for capital improvement projects, such as a new pool, as opposed to the day-to-day operations of the rec district. Should the five-year operating levy be renewed in November, NCRD will continue to set aside money it receives from timber revenue towards a new pool.

Meanwhile, discussion of building a new pool has been put on hold until after the election. Earlier this spring the NCRD board received the results of a fundraising feasibility study along with the architect’s conceptual design for a new four-lane pool. While a final decision is still months away as to how to proceed, the major-

Oregon coast previously, and felt the urge to return.

“I’ve never been homesick because the surroundings here are a lot like Maine.”

Right now, The Roost is strictly a husband and wife business, with Heidi the front person. “Hopefully

I’m going to be so busy I one day will actually have an employee,” she says. In the meantime, it’s one day at a time helping patrons start their day on the right foot and serving up a fresh made sandwich and cup of homemade soup at lunchtime.

ity of board members have expressed the desire to build an enclosed four-lane pool, while leaving the door open for the possibility of a sixlane pool.

First things, first, however. If the five-year levy renewal doesn’t pass, it wouldn’t necessarily kill NCRD’s quest to build a new pool, but it would mean going back to the drawing board.

approved, would keep the current $.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value the same for general operations and maintenance and would start the beginning of NCRD’s fiscal year in July 2014/15.

Alluding to “misinformation” circulating among district voters, Geri Berg, a member of an NCRD support group, said, “It has to be made clear to the public that this is not a new tax. It doesn’t raise our taxes…it’s what we have been paying all along.”

Board member Julie chick agreed, noting “that’s why we, as a board, kept it the same, so there would be no increase.”

The district estimates that the proposed local option levy will raise $2,274,819 in five years, less uncollectible taxes, helping pay for its youth, fitness, aquatics and adult programs, and operating costs such as swim pool operation, utilities, administration and maintenance.

Without the renewed local option tax, the district’s program services would be cut by at least 50 percent, according to NCRD general manager Peter Nunn, who crafted the resolution and ballot measure.

All departments would have “significant” reductions in hours of operation.

Had the vote taken place a month earlier, in all likelihood, it would not have been unanimous in favor of going to the voters for a renewal of the levy. In discussion of the draft resolution in June, board member Steve Huber, a fiscal conservative whose term in office expired that month, voiced

cept the bagels and croissants. Aside from coffee, specialty drinks include espresso, lattes, cappuccino, mochas, chai, tea and Americano.

Lunch fare includes homemade soup of the day and deli-style sandwiches.

“There is no set menu right now,” says Cummins, “but it’s in the works. We’ll see how it goes.”

Born in the Chinese Year of the Rooster, Cummins says she has always had an affection for roosters, hence the name of the business and the reason for some of the interior decorations. On a wall of the dining area a colorful chalk drawing of a rooster named Rupert encourages patrons to “Wake up at The Roost,” which is currently open seven days a week throughout the summer from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

n Wheeler From page 1 great grandfather, who started Wheeler Mill, was an entrepreneur.

“There were certainly a lot of questions as to what kind of legacy he and other early pioneers of the community would leave,” he said. “Wheeler has always been about quality… it was known for producing the best quality lumber on the West Coast… and every time I come here, I love seeing what is happening with the streetscape.”

In thanking those who helped in planning the centennial event, Mayor Stevie Burden singled out Eunice Massie for the city’s second Pioneer Award, given to those longtime residents of Wheeler for their contributions to the community. City councilor Virgil Staben was the recipient of the first such award.

“Eunice spent almost a year in researching Wheeler’s

history,” said Burden.

That effort culminated in a storefront mural depicting Wheeler’s early days and a more permanent display inside the train station next to Waterfront Park that was unveiled in a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“The railroad was most important,” Massie noted in her remarks to the scores of people standing next to the train tracks. “Without the railroad, there would be no Wheeler.” Massie said the railroad line from the Portland area to north Tilla-

mook County cost $2 million and took six years to complete, effectively reducing the travel time from Portland to Wheeler.

Cake and ice cream followed remarks at the ribbon cutting ceremony, with the musical group Coaster providing live entertainment.

Free steamboat rides on Nehalem Bay and a visit by The Flying Eagle, a 24-foot cedar dugout canoe, piloted

by Wheeler resident “Willow Bill” Goulardt and friends rounded out the afternoon celebration.
