On hand at the familyfriendly July 28 birthday party for the clinic was another family, this one from Knappa with a logging tradition all its own, that presented an hour-long show featuring ax throwing, crosscut sawing, springboard chopping, log rolling and chainsaw sculpting.

New Nehalem City Hall on track By Dave Fisher The Citizen

Nehalem’s long-awaited new city hall building is, step-by-step, getting closer to reality. Work crews have been busy the past couple of weeks in preparing the site at the corner of Tohls and 8th streets, adjacent to the present city hall and former Nehalem Fire

Department. Foundation work was scheduled to commence this week. “We’re really excited,” said City Manager Dale Shafer. “All the hard work is done for us, now it’s just a matter of sitting and waiting.” Fortunately for city officials, they won’t

It turns out the new guy at Nehalem Bay State Park (NBSP), Matt Rippee, who replaced Larry Oswald as park manager, isn’t new to the park at all, but is merely returning. Rippee, who was a park ranger at Nehalem Bay from 2002 to 2004, has been on board at the park since mid-May and hasn’t really had a chance to catch his breath with the high traffic summer season in full swing. To illustrate his point, he pulls up figures on his computer for August 2012 showing that the park had 32,400 overnight users and a little over 100,000 day-use visitors.

There’s no cause for alarm, Manzanita City Manger Jerry Taylor wants to assure that community’s citizens, but the way the city’s public works department treats its water may be changing. The problem is adjusting the pH level in the water Manzanita supplies to its residents. As have other municipalities and water districts throughout the state, Manzanita is seeing an increased amount of carbon dioxide in its raw water that it receives from its well source. To reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, which in turn increases the pH level, the city has for years added caustic soda to regulate pH levels in its drinking water. Taylor doesn’t profess to be a chemist, nor does he necessarily blame global climate change for the increase of carbon dioxide in the earth’s water. All he knows for sure is, “if you can take carbon dioxide out of the water, the pH goes up.” In chemistry, pH is a measure of the acidity in water. Water with a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic and water with a pH greater than 7 is basic or alkaline. Pure water has a pH close to 7. In looking to reduce the amount of caustic soda it adds to its water and save money in the long run, the Manzanita City Council held a workshop July 22, and heard from engineer Rob Henry, of HBH Consulting Engineers, Inc., who was on hand to explain his firm’s analysis of whether or not a new technological advancement, known as a carbon dioxide stripper, would be a cost justified alternative.

Matt Rippee “It’s definitely a destination park,” said Rippee, who has been with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) for 11 years. Interestingly, his most recent stint with the agency was as the operations manager for the Oregon State Fair, which OPRD has managed the See PARK, Page 2

The Nehalem Beehive comes to life in downtown Nehalem

n Park From page 1 past few years. However, with the passage and signing of Senate Bill #7, OPRD’s days associated with the fair are numbered. “Parks and recreation took the fair as far as it could as a state agency. With the passage of this bill, it will become a public corporation so it can be run more as a business,” said Rippee, noting that the agency will still be involved with the fair the next two to five years likely during the transitional phase. “Managing the fair expanded my horizons, but, for me, a year was enough. I wanted to get back into parks.” When the opportunity at NBSP arose, Rippee threw his hat in the ring. Growing up north of Seattle and then moving with his family to Moscow, Idaho as a teenager, Rippee’s interest in parks and recreation was cultivated early on. He worked in parks in Washington and Idaho at the state and county levels. His position as a park ranger at NBSP marked the beginning of his career with OPRD. He left in 2004 to assume the role of park manager at Wallowa Lake State Park in northeastern Oregon. That was followed by stints at Farewell Bend near Ontario for two years and three years as park manager for the Blue Mountain Management Unit, which encompassed a total of nine parks in all. The reason for moving east was to be closer to family. “Both my wife and me, coming from Idaho, wanted to be closer to where our families were and we liked the climate,” said the father of four school-aged daughters.

However, the Rippees soon realized that they missed the north Oregon coast. “We really liked it over here. Truthfully, we knew we wanted to come back. It’s an amazing area and a great place to raise our children.” Having lived in rural areas most of his career, Rippee is somewhat amused that Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler are probably the largest towns he and his wife have lived by. As manager of the Nehalem Bay Management Unit that encompasses about 10,000 acres and includes nine parks and waysides – Nehalem Bay, Ecola, Tolovana, Arcadia, Hug Point, Saddle Mountain, Oswald West, Manhattan Beach and

Cougar Valley – Rippee is aided by nine full-time staffers and 18 seasonal employees, who work from midMay through mid-September. He makes no bones about how he feels about those he supervises. “I’m a little biased, but we have the best crew in the state. They care very much about the work that they do. My role is making sure we are keeping with the agency’s goals…and working with employees to make sure they have what they need to do their jobs. That’s the human resources side of my job.” While the focus right now is to continue to offer quality customer service to park visitors during the busy

summer, maintenance chores are just around the corner with the coming of fall. “I don’t see us doing a lot of new projects. It will be a matter of taking care of what we have the next couple of years, bringing up to standard facilities that are in need of some attention to maintain that high quality experience visitors expect,” said Rippee. In 2022, less than a decade away, OPRD will

celebrate 100 years as a state agency. Among the eight principles guiding the department, one talks about the need to forge partnerships. “I’d like to do more outreach, get more involved in the communities and the schools, form parnerships. Exactly, what form they may take, I don’t know at this point, but I think we’re set up to do good things. The communities

In the previous edition of the North Coast Citizen (July 25) in the article about the Manzanita Beach Run, it states “…who was congratulated by race officials from Portland Running Company, who helped orchestrate the event.” The wording implies that the Portland Running Company helped stage the event. It did not; officials merely commented on a job well done. The annual event is organized and staged solely by the North County Recreation District. The Citizen apologizes for any confusion that may have resulted.

seem receptive and we have the staff in place to make things happen.” As for moving anytime soon, the new park manager at Nehalem Bay doesn’t see that happening. “We’ve bounced around and this seems to offer the perfect balance between work and raising a family. I think we’ve landed where we’re going to be for awhile.”

Open since August 1, The Nehalem Beehive might best be described as a work still in progress. At least, that’s the way owner Brenna Hamer sees it. A resident of the area the past nine years and an encaustic painter (one who paints with melted beeswax, pigment and damar resin), Hamer purchased the buildings once home to Art Happens and a variety of other businesses next door this spring. For the past four months she has been knee-deep in the renovation of the approximate 2,000 square-foot space, treating it much like she would a blank canvas, with a vision in mind, yet constantly tweaking. The result is a warm and inviting inte-

related to the health of the planet and our own fate. “Hopefully,” she says, “beehives are very active and healthy places. A place where everyone gathers and engage each other,” which is precisely how she wants to see her business evolve. The Nehalem Beehive is currently open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday through Monday, and closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Hamer hopes to have music one night a week in the near future as she continues to tweak her business plan. In the meantime, she’s just delighted to be open and looking forward to sharing her space with others. The Nehalem Beehive is located in downtown Nehalem at 35870 7th Street (Hwy 101).

The Nehalem Beehive is an all-age venue featuring self-serve herbal teas and coffee, art and old world crafts, artisan gifts, music and the courtyard with its benches and tables. The back area of the building is being rented and a small café is in the works. Hamer’s mission, she says, is to support artists and small, environmentally friendly companies, as well as to provide a comfortable place for locals, vacationers

It’s as if the sign people have never heard of night blindness. Not only must we endure eyestrain from oncoming headlights but from highly reflective road signs as well. The reason red lights are used on the instrument panels of aircraft and military vehicles is that it doesn’t ruin the cones in your eyes at night. It takes five minutes for your eyes to readjust to low light after being blinded by reflective signs. It’s obvious the people putting up those signs don’t do it at night; they’re day creatures. All manner of signs distract your eye from the road. While driving south on Highway 101 from Seaside to Wheeler (23 miles) there are 286 roadside signs, not counting street and mile marker signs. Highway 101 along the north Oregon coast, where we live, is designated as an American Scenic Byway by the United States Federal Highway Administration. To qualify, a highway must have one of the six “intrinsic qualities” – archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and/or scenic. It seems a sign erected by a plethora of public departments and agencies, every 400 feet from Seaside to Wheeler for the driver to enjoy, is what constitutes a scenic byway. How many more signs can the sign people squeeze in? In the 1970s, when I was growing up in Oregon, we called sign proliferation “Californication,” and that’s when the state legislature passed limits on business roadside signage. The governing

Letters to the Editor Shop locally, and support small businesses As a small business working to survive in both a recession/depression and in a coastal and therefore seasonal location, I need to remind people how important it is that local businesses purchase from local businesses. The fact is that we are responsible for our own economic vitality. Shopping outside the community, and shopping online, means that the dollars earned here leave the community immediately. When you purchase from a locally owned store, the money is spent 6 to15 times before it leaves the community. From $1, you create $5 to $15 in value within that community. For every dollar spent at a national chain store, 80 percent of it leaves town immediately, while 100 percent of every dollar spent online leaves town immediately. As the owner of the world’s smallest office supply store in Wheeler, I knew that online purchasing would ensure very low volume, but even that low volume has dwindled in the last two-plus years as online purchasing escalates. What this

means for me is that it becomes impossible to purchase what I need locally. Indeed, it becomes impossible to survive. What happens to our communities when local businesses are no longer able to provide goods? Empty storefronts? Service businesses only? Hair salons? Tax accountants? How many cafes and restaurants can one coastal community support? Large local businesses and organizations should look locally and support their smaller neighbors rather than sourcing from the Internet. The only organization benefitting from their selfish purchasing habits is UPS delivery. Any local company purchasing hundreds of dollars’ worth of any kind of supplies or parts, for example, has the power to create local jobs and boost the economic vitality of the community, and they are choosing not to. It’s a conscious decision that ensures that small retailers cannot exist. Even a percentage of their purchasing power focused within the community would help to ensure a more vital community now and for the future. It is my hope that this sparks a more thoughtful approach to purchasing and perhaps conversation.

municipality must now approve all business highway signs, although we have seen an increase in these huge highway “TV screen” billboards. Where did they come from? I’m not suggesting we don’t need speed signs, temporary hazard signs, etc., but why do we need so many other signs, from so many municipal and state agencies, when smart phones are at our fingertips? There’s always the old-fashioned method of asking for directions at a gas station or one of our many fine visitor information stations. These excessive signs disturb our views as well as take our eyes off the road. The United States Sign Council (USSC) and its research arm, the United States Sign Council Foundation (USSCF) determined the viewer reaction distance (VED) at 40 mph is 59 feet per second. It takes an average driver five seconds to process the information and another five seconds to react in which time they have traveled 590 feet in response to a sign 144 square feet (12’x12’) with 19-inch-tall letters. (That’s bigger than the average bedroom). Smaller signs with smaller letters require even more distance traveled before the driver can process and react, suggesting that too many signs can become a real hazard. Every insignificant sign takes away a little bit of life’s adventure. Native American Chief Ruben Snake (19232001) said, “If we don’t change the direction we’re going, we’re going to get there.” The next time you see a NEW sign, give a quick thought about what direction we’re heading. We’re polluting the natural viewscapes of our parks and our American Scenic Byway.

The King of Tides, as photographed by Manzanita resident Jack Bateman.

Local photographer catches ‘The King of Tides’ event Manzanita photographer Jack Bateman has been photographing the local coastline for over 26 years. One day, in early February of this year while on Neahkahnie Mountain, he observed the ocean as never before. “That particular day, the color of the water and atmosphere looked extremely unusual,” said Bateman, who was astonished to see the extra-large waves, completely different from waves he had seen previously in Manzanita. “It looked like a scene from a dream.” Waves were coming to shore from far out, Bateman noted, single waves, one after another and amazingly the waves were so wide that he could look south and view a single wave that carried across the ocean from Neahkahnie’s edge to as far down the shoreline he could see. In researching the phenomena, Bateman learned that what he had witnessed was an event that is called

‘The King of Tides,” a term that originated in Australia describing extreme tide events that are most dramatic in winter. King tides occur when the orbit of the moon is closest to Earth, and the Earth’s orbit is closest to the sun, and all are in alignment. Scientists are now closely observing these tides because they provide clues to rising sea levels that may be caused by global climate change. King tides can be several feet higher than normal tides and can easily cause flooding in low-lying areas. Said Bateman, “It was a stroke of luck, that by chance, I was on Neahkahnie Mountain with my usual array of cameras photographing a scene caused by the Earth, moon and sun all being perfectly in line.” With his annual art sale slated August 23 and 24 at his home in Manzanita, Bateman is busy framing large photographs of the scene he witnessed in February.

my dad was a pro, I have to admit I played a lot of right field. Oh, I could catch the ball and had a pretty good arm, but I sure wasn’t a home run threat most of the time. I suppose the fact I was just 5’1” when I entered high school may have been one of my drawbacks. I wonder if those unorganized games might have been what gave the kids in our nation the grit and determination to be good soldiers and sailors in the wars that we have been involved with. I wonder if some of those who played right field didn’t become leaders in industry and public service. Maybe they steeled themselves to forget something like being chosen last just so they could be in the game. Most of those guys that I played ball with are no longer alive, but I know a couple of them became millionaires. I wonder if they ever went back to the old neighborhood and looked at “the lot,” that now has a nice home and garden covering our hallowed ground. Baseball was always big in our family and while I never made the team it was something I enjoyed

watching. One of the highlights of my Navy life was attending a baseball game in New York and watching the Boston Red Sox give them a beating. The catcher for Boston was Sammy White. He was the star of our high school basketball team when we won the state tournament. I managed to see him and he congratulated me for doing some growing. I am sure that the organized kids sports are very important to the development of all of them, but I have a hunch that the parents do most of the hustling to make it all happen. Today’s youngsters are a lot more sophisticated in the use of their time and I wonder if they know or appreciate that their parents and grandparents didn’t have the equipment and facilities that they enjoy. Both the joys of victory and the lows of defeat all go into giving us the character that shapes us the rest of our lives. Those kids that don’t have those experiences will have to find other ways to develop the discipline that will carry them to a happy and productive life.

n Water From page 1 The stripper reduces carbon dioxide in water through a mechanical process. “Strippers appear to work fairly well,” Taylor told the Citizen. “Basically, you send your raw water through the air stripper and it releases carbon dioxide as it goes through the process.” Taylor likened it to shaking or beating the dust from a throw rug. Recently, Manzanita Public Works employees Brett Siler and Dan Wetzel joined Rob Henry in a tour of Springfield’s water treatment facility where a new stripping system is in place.

After 15 years of service, it was time for the Nehalem Bay Wastewater Agency to say goodbye to its old sewer-cleaning vehicle and purchase a new rig. And when it came time to purchase a modern version of the same equipment, the agency had the money in hand. “We started saving for this 15 years ago,” said NBWA Manager Bruce Halverson, “right after we purchased the first one. After 15 years, it was a matter of do we want to sink more money into the old truck or get a new one. This was a demo and we couldn’t pass it up.” The 2013 Freightliner truck, equipped with Vac-Con sewer equipment, clean sewers and the vacuum is used to clean out debris from wet wells and manholes. Halverson describes it as a modern version of the 1996 truck it replaced. “It’s safer and more efficient,” he said, “and has the same size debris tank (5 yards) and water tank (850 gallons).” The agency, known for its fiscal responsibility, replaced the vehicle using money collected from user fees from its Improvement and Replacement Fund saved over 15 years. So when is the agency going to begin saving for the next such piece of equipment? You guessed it, right

According to Springfield water officials, the system is performing very well, and little, if any, caustic soda is being added to the water. With the city currently spending $38,000 per year for caustic soda to adjust water pH levels (caustic soda does not remove carbon dioxide fro water) and the cost going up as a result of using more of the chemical as pH levels go down, the council is taking a serious look at employing the use of a carbon dioxide stripper at an estimated cost of $473,000 with a payback on that investment in 20 years. The alternative was one of three council members were presented and represented the most cost effective approach. This plan calls for

the installation of the stripper at the Manzanita water treatment plant utilizing existing pumps as well as corrosion control and disinfection systems. Alternatives to this plan call for the installation of the system either at the well site itself or at the new reservoir, which would remove carbon dioxide from the entire regional water supply that includes Wheeler. Alternative 2, the one that is being seriously considered by the council, does not. The main sticking point, according to Taylor, is it worth spending any money anyway. “Our water currently meets standards by just doing what we’ve been doing all along,” said Taylor. “It’s a matter of do we spend money on a device to address

pH levels and spend less on chemicals.” The drinking water standards Taylor speaks of are federal regulations carried out statewide by the Oregon Drinking Water Service under the Oregon Health Authority. Adding caustic soda to its water is not Manzanita’s choice, says Taylor, but with new technology, there is now an alternative. “The water has always been safe to drink, though it does have some aesthetic issues,” said

timber sales from the 960 acres at the city’s disposal is key in helping fund municipal projects, thus avoiding the need to ask taxpayers for the money. As for the current city hall, which is housed in the fire station, that building will stay put for the foreseeable future, said Kalkhoven. “It will be a relief, however, that we will not be asking employees to work in a building that is a hazard,” she noted. The cinder-block building that dates back several decades is not expected to survive a major earthquake. Like her city manager, the mayor is looking forward to the city’s new digs. “It’s not a terribly big building,” she said of the single-story modular

facility, “but at least it’s not going to fall down during an earthquake. “People have been asking about it and want to know if we’re going to have a celebration when it’s completed,” Harry rineHart, MD said Kalkhoven. “We’ll probably do something, exactly what I’m not sure.” Shafer expects to move the city’s offices to the new site shortly after its completion the end of September. “It’ll be turnkey. It’s just a matter of us moving our stuff over there.” KatHryn MayHew, Pa-c To view the plans for the new building, visit www. ci.nehalem.or.us/ and click on “New City Hall” on 1x1 the left H20918 Oregonian 092111:Lay • Primary Family Care hand side.

now. “You’ve got to keep planning for the future. Hopefully this will last as long, or longer than the previous sewer cleaner,” said Halverson, but just in case there will be money down the road for such a purchase. Most importantly, Halverson noted, customers won’t see an increase in their sewer bill to help pay for the new piece of equipment.

Taylor referring to the city’s ongoing battle to get rid of the “whitewater” appearance of its water as it is first drawn from the taps of many Manzanita residents. Will a stripper remedy the problem and solve Manzanita’s whitewater issue once and for all? Engineers don’t know. In the meantime, a final report was due prior to the council’s Aug. 7 meeting. A final decision whether or not to proceed with the instal-

lation of a stripper will be made later this fall. If the council gives the project the green light, the money in the city’s reserves is there, says Taylor. It’s a matter of “borrowing from ourselves and paying it back.” Will the project affect water rates? “We’ll be looking at an increase in any event,” said Taylor. “We haven’t had an increase since 2003. We have enough money coming in to run the system, but none to build our reserves.”

Longtime volunteer firefighter Frank “Frankie” Knight, III has been selected as the Division Chief Training Officer for the Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue District. Knight replaces Scott Mullen, who resigned in May. One of three finalists for the position, Knight has been a firefighter since 2000, first with the Nehalem Fire Department and then the NBFR District when it was formed in 2009. His experience includes three stints as a contract firefighter for the Department of Defense in Iraq, Marshall Islands (U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll), and most recently northern Africa at the U.S. Navy base Camp Lemmonier. Firefighting, it turns out, runs in the family. Knight is a third-generation Nehalem volunteer firefighter,

the younger Knight. In addition to being a volunteer firefighter, Knight received his associate’s degree from Portland Community College in fire protection technology, has served as an EMT for Tillamook Ambulance, and performed disaster relief work for FEMA, with wife Kathye, following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. “I’m looking forward sharing what I have learned, some from other parts of the world, with the other volunteer firefighters,” said Knight of his new assignment. As for his travels abroad, he’s appreciative of the experience, but glad to be back living in north Tillamook County. “It’s always nice to be home. This is where our families are, where I was raised, and where I’ve always wanted to live. This is where my roots are.” Knight assumed his position August 1.

Judges finalized for North Coast Squid literary magazine The Manzanita Writer’s Series coordinators are excited to announce the judges for the next North Coast Squid literary magazine, which is due out December 2013 with a submission deadline of August 31. The North Coast Squid showcases work of writers and artists who live on the north coast or have a strong connection to the area. Writing is accepted in three categories: poetry, fiction, narrative non-fiction (which includes memoir). Brian Doyle will judge fiction. Doyle is the editor of Portland Magazine at the University of Portland. He is the author of thirteen books, among them the novels Mink River and Cat’s Foot, the story collection Bin Laden’s Bald Spot, the nonfiction books The Grail and The Wet Engine, and many books of essays and poems. Karen Karbo will judge nonfiction. Karbo is author of thirteen books. Her memoir, The Stuff of Life, was an NYT Notable Book, a People Magazine Critics’ Choice, and a winner of the Oregon Book Award for Creative Non-fiction. Her work has appeared in Elle, Vogue, Esquire, Outside, O, More, The New Republic, The New York Times, salon. com and other magazines. Karbo is most well known for her best-selling Kick Ass Women series, including How Georgia Became O’Keeffe, How to Hepburn, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel, and Julia Child Rules, due out in October 2013. Stephanie Lenox will judge poetry. Lenox’s chapbook, The Heart That Lies Outside the Body, won the 2007 Slapering Hol Chapbook Contest. She received fellowships from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Oregon Arts Commission and recently published a full-length collection of poetry, Congress of Strange People. “We’re also looking for art and photography submissions to accompany literary content for the publication,” says cofounder Vera Wildauer. Art categories include black and white photos and line drawings as well as color images for the publication’s cover. Art and photos will be selected by the North Coast Squid’s editorial team.

Heeding the call of the cabbage Asian chicken and cabbage salad

I like to roast a chicken with an Asian marinade on it for this recipe but a store bought rotisserie chicken, bought from the store, works great. Dressing 1/3 cup of light tasting olive oil 1 tablespoon of sesame oil 1/4 cup of lime juice 2 tablespoons of organic soy sauce 2 teaspoons of maple syrup 1 teaspoon of fish sauce 2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger Put all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well blended. Set it aside to dress the salad. 1/2 small head of red cabbage sliced thin

In our antiseptic world with chlorinated water, antibiotics in our meat, our milk and our own bodies, and antibacterial everything, we could use some beneficial bacteria in our bodies. So, I bet you think I’m going to have a recipe here for you to make your own kimchi or sauerkraut? I thought about it, but decided against it when I saw the time and energy it takes to make. It is summer

and I think everyone has their engines revved high, which means quick delicious recipes are the order of the day. I will re-visit the kimchi this winter. You’ve been fairly warned, as, after all, cabbage stores a loooong time. Meanwhile, I am going to share with you one of Paul’s family’s recipes. They are big cabbage lovers and I remember the first time I had this Asian chicken salad was at

It is super easy and big on flavor. It is important to make it with organic cabbage, which is in abundance around here. Conventional cabbage is

1/2 head of Napa or regular white cabbage sliced thin 2 medium carrots grated 6 green onions, the whole stalk sliced thin 1/3 cup of chopped fresh cilantro 3 cups of shredded chicken 1/4 cup of chopped dry-roasted peanuts 1 to 2 teaspoons of black sesame seeds Slice the cabbage up and toss with the carrots, green onions and cilantro. Add the chicken and stir in. Slowly add the dressing while stirring with a big fork until you have just the right amount of dressing for your tastes. Let it sit a couple hours in the fridge to let the flavors blend then sprinkle with the sesame seeds and peanuts right before serving. Gè bao! (That’s bon appetite in Chinese.)

heavily sprayed with pesticides due to this pesky little cabbage moth that is also in abundance. Organic growers carefully cover their cabbage crops with white garden fabric to keep these little buggers out. So every beautiful organic cabbage you see at the market place has been tucked in and grown with love. Enjoy the season and all its bountiful produce!
