Arriving in three modular sections last week, Nehalem’s new city hall is coming together, literally. Once work crews secured the three pre-manufactured sections to its foundation, they began addressing the siding and roof. If everything goes according to plan, the new facility, located next door to the present city hall and former fire

hall, will be completed by the end of September and the City of Nehalem will move in shortly afterwards. To view the plans of the new building, visit www.ci.nehalem. or.us/ and click on “New City Hall” on the left-hand side of the home page. Photos by Dave Fisher

Wheeler city manager leaving

By Joe Wrabek For the Citizen

Wheeler’s city manager, Jeff Aprati, is leaving.

“There’s nothing wrong,” said Aprati, noting that he and his wife are expecting their first child, and wanted to move back to Portland to be closer to relatives.

“I’ll probably be here through the end of September.”

Aprati had been Wheeler’s city manager since May 2012. It was his first city manager job.

“Wheeler is a great small town and a great place to work,” Aprati said. “It’s definitely a town with great volunteers. A lot of what we do here couldn’t happen without the volunteer help.”

Jennie Messmer from the League of Oregon Cities has been tapped to serve as interim city manager while the city looks for a replacement, Aprati said. The job has been advertised on the League’s Website since Aug. 13. “We’ve already received 20 applications,” he said. Interviews are expected in October.

The new manager will be dealing with a water master plan update, an update of the city’s comprehensive plan – and

“If it’s still available next year, the city will prob-

Ancient art of bonsai thrives in Wheeler The Citizen

“We were pretty amazed!”

That’s how bonsai enthusiasts Eunice Massie and Gordon “Skip” Rognlien summed up their ribbonwinning efforts at this year’s Tillamook County Fair.

Though the two Wheeler residents have pursued the ancient Chinese art of bonsai (pronounced bone-sigh) for years, this summer marked the first time either had submitted entries for judging in a fair or similar venue.

When it was all said and done, Skip walked away with two first-place ribbons and two second-place ribbons, one of those chosen as the most outstanding bonsai entry at the 2013 fair. For her part, Eunice took home four ribbons also – a first, two seconds and a third place ribbon. Not bad for the duo’s first competitive exhibition,

Skip Rognlien and Eunice Massie among the bonsai trees on display in Skip’s backyard in Wheeler.

Skip’s bonsai hobby goes back many years, as does his friendship with Eunice.

The two became acquainted through a mutual friend while living in San Francisco nearly 40 years ago. Following a career in theater, Skip moved to Portland and opened a bed and breakfast, which he operated for 13 years. Eventually, Eunice did the bookkeeping for his business. His interest in bonsai prompted him to become a member of the Bonsai Society of Portland.

However, he didn’t “really retire” until he moved to Wheeler four years ago.

Upon arriving on the Oregon coast, he eventually learned of the Migota Yamadori Bonsai Club of Tillamook, which he and Eunice have been members of for the past year.

“It’s a very good organization,” says Skip of the 20-member club. And, while there is a competitive nature among members to a certain degree, it’s more about sharing ideas and learning from each other. “It’s a great way to make friends; the competition is not a big deal.

We like seeing what others have done…it’s really quite rewarding.”

For those unfamiliar with bonsai, it is an art form in which trees are potted in a porous dirt-free mix. The very act of potting the tree restricts its growth and limbs and branches are “wired” to change the shape of the tree. This year, Skip and Eunice were more in tune to the importance of pruning, shaping and grooming their plants prior to entering them in the Tillamook County Fair.

Watering and feeding the trees, which typically make their home outdoors, is very important. Tropical trees fare well indoors as long as they are well attended to. Most trees, says Skip, can be used for bonsai.

Bonsai trees that have been cultivated for centuries sell for thousands of dollars, according to Eunice. “Each plant has a history, a story.

The older ones have a written history and the pots they are in can be as old and worth quite a bit,” she noted.

The really expensive trees one sees on display in the lobbies of swank hotels and corporate offices are attended

to by professional bonsai caretakers. “We’re just rank amateurs, the two of us,” said Skip with a laugh.

That said, Skip tends to a bonsai pine that is over a hundred years old, while Eunice’s oldest tree is roughly 70 years old. In describing the hobby, Skip refers to the art form as “slow sculpting.”

With renewed enthusiasm following their success at this year’s fair, the two are already looking forward to next year. It won’t be as simple as re-entering the same bonsai trees they submitted this year; that’s not allowed.

The work for the 2014 fair begins this fall and will take on a sense of urgency as next spring approaches. Considering the judging criteria, it’s easy to see why as bonsai exhibitors get a head start as they address things such as good trunk taper, root development, properly placed branches and answer the question, “Does it fit the specified style?”

Old age is beautiful in bonsai and the tree, say judges, should capture the character of a tree growing in nature and appear strong and vigorous.

Skip says he has a friend, a tree-hugger of sorts, who has threatened to take his bonsai trees and set them free in the forest, an idea Skip isn’t too keen about as he continues to pursue his hobby. However, in an effort

to appease him, Skip makes this promise. “I will leave him one of his choice in my will.”

First things first, however.

Right now, his sights are set on next year’s Tillamook County Fair.

which helps explain their wide-eyed amazement on their success.

“I had never really thought about it,” said Eunice about exhibiting her bonsai plants at the fair.

“This spring, Skip and I decided ‘Why not?’”

Eunice’s interest in bonsai goes back 50 years, but she admits she didn’t take it too seriously in the beginning.

When she moved to Wheeler in 1994 from California, she brought along with her ten bonsai specimens, which required a special van to transport them. “I had to find a nursery to board them until I found a house,” she recalled.

In her nearly two decades as a “Wheelerite,” Eunice has embraced the community, retiring from the North County Health District after a ten-year stint in 2007. Living in a 100-year-old house on what was once referred to as “Mill Hill,” she became interested in the history of Wheeler and who its streets were named after. Most recently, she helped piece together the community’s history on a mural displayed in the windows of the former Wheeler Pharmacy building for the town’s centennial celebration.

Move plants in the fall to prevent shock

By Judy Scott

OSU Extension Agency

Autumn is a good time to move or plant perennials, shrubs and trees in most places in Oregon. The wet and mild conditions can help prevent transplant shock and water stress.

“Shock is caused mainly by the demand of the plant for water and the limited ability of the root system to supply it,” saya Ross Penhallegon, horticulturist with the OSU Extension Service. “The plant has a better chance of quick recovery if it has a chance in the fall and winter to develop new roots and build up nutrient reserves needed for healthy growth next spring.”

If you dig and move a plant, try to leave as much of the root system as possible.

In many urban areas, soils are compacted and sometimes poorly drained. You’ll need to create a good root zone by amending the beds

with sandy-loam topsoil and working the soil as deeply as possible.

Proper planting is the most important step. Dig the hole at least two feet wider than the size of the root system or root ball. A large hole will allow better root growth and is especially important in compacted soils. Roughen the sides of the hole, which should be the same width at the top and bottom, and remove any rocks or debris.

Planting depth is critical.

Trees often are planted too deeply in the hole. Carefully set the tree in the hole at the same depth or slightly higher than it was at the nursery or in your yard. Plant it with the root collar at ground level or slightly higher (two inches) to allow for settling.

Often in container-grown trees roots grow around the inside of the container. After you remove the container, gently straighten the roots.

Otherwise, they can eventually girdle and kill the tree.

Fill the hole with soil about half full, lightly tamping it with your foot to remove air pockets. Make sure the tree stands upright.

Water the plant slowly to saturate the soil and remove remaining air pockets, then finish filling the hole with soil. Remove extra soil rather than mounding it around the tree. You can build a temporary berm at the drip line to hold water around the root system.

Sandy soil, often along the Oregon coast, benefits from organic matter such as peat moss, compost or old sawdust added to the planting hole to increase the soil’s moisture-holding capacity around the roots.

Organic matter helps clay soil as well. The soil is easily compacted, which obstructs the movement of water and air. Mix in organic matter to help break up clay particles and improve water and air flow around the roots.

Contrary to popular

belief, you don’t need to fertilize trees when you plant them. In the spring, slow-release fertilizers are good for fall-planted perennials because their effect is long-lasting and less likely to burn roots than rapid-release products, Penhallegon said.

Newly planted trees require routine and thorough watering, particularly during Oregon’s dry summer and fall months. Make sure the plant is well-watered for one to three weeks after transplanting. Add a layer of mulch around the base of the shrub to retain moisture and keep weeds from becoming established. Clean straw, clean manure, newspapers, a layer of black plastic or landscape cloth are all good mulching materials.

Water the tree regularly for at least three years after planting. If you have moved a shrub, it can help transplant shock to prune the shrub and make branches on top match the size of the root system.

How is it any different for Syria to use chemicals to killer their people quickly verses Congress to allow corporations to continue poisoning and killing United State citizens slowly in our food supply with GMOs, yellow dye #5 (a known carcinogen), weed and bug killer herbicides, etc. As a nation we only reject killing quickly when it’s okay to kill slowly. Stay out of Syria and get involved in the US. Otherwise, I feel we’re headed to WWIII if Congress agrees with Obama and the war

machine in declaring war on a sovereign nation.

this is considered less harmful.

Indeed, some claim it acts as a protective factor. HDL is thought to be responsible for removing cholesterol and transporting it safely to the liver.

Thus, a blood test will also include these measurements.

Only a little of the cholesterol in our blood comes from our food. Even if you did not eat any cholesterol your body produces what it needs.

Your blood cholesterol level is determined by the sum of how much cholesterol your body makes and how much you take in from food, minus how much your body uses up or excretes. High cholesterol can result from a problem in any of the variables in that equation—your body may produce more cholesterol than it needs due to a genetic predisposition, you may be getting too much from your diet, or you may not excrete cholesterol in your bile efficiently.

Few people with a hereditary defect require drug therapy. The rest of us can keep ourselves at normal levels with very little effort. The types of fat in the diet determine to a large extent the amount of total, HDL and LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream. The types and amount of carbohydrate in the diet also play a role.

Cholesterol in food matters,

too, but not nearly as much. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to keep your intake of saturated fats as low as possible.

We can’t eliminate saturated fat from our diets completely, because foods that are good sources of healthy fats—olive oil, walnuts, and salmon—also contain a little bit of saturated fat. And, it would be a mistake to cut back on nuts, oils, and fish to minimize saturated fat.

When you add it up, red meat and full-fat dairy products (cheese, milk, ice cream, butter) are among the main sources of saturated fat in our diets. Keeping these foods low in your diet is the best way to reduce intake of saturated fat. When you cut back on red meat and dairy products, replace them with foods that contain healthy fats such as fatty fish like salmon, nuts and seeds, plant oils, avocadoes, not with foods that are high in refined carbohydrates.

A good rule to live and eat by sticking to a low-fat diet is not necessarily good for health.

However, the fact of the matter is that avoiding fats is toxic to your health, and consuming the many food additives that commonly replace them, including synthetic trans fats, refined sugars, and processed grains.

These are a primary cause of disease-causing inflammation.

Eggplant here, eggplant there, eggplant everywhere My CSA (community supported agriculture) box is brimming with eggplants this year. When I unpack it, there are all shapes and colors of eggplant that dance out onto the counter, like a cartoon, and taunt me.

You see, I don’t know how to cook eggplant.

The I know, I know, Golightly it seems strange com- Gourmet ing from a Dana Zia food crazed person such as myself, but honestly I have two recipes for them, baba ganoush and …well…baba ganoush. I guess I have one.

Sigh. That won’t do at all for the bounty of eggplants dancing on my counter. I’ve got to get more creative.

Eggplants got their name from the early eggplants which were small white, egg shaped globes. (Easy enough.) Botanists give Mother India credit for being the birthplace of this noble veggie but Asia also has dibs on the dubious distinction with their long skinny eggplant that is prevalent in many dishes.

The Middle Eastern people embraced the eggplant like no other culture and it was considered important for all brides to know how to cook an eggplant 100 ways before getting married.

(No wonder the only eggplant dish I know is from the Middle East!)

Unlike the Middle Eastern people, eggplant didn’t make quite the splash in Europe where it was well understood that if you ate it, you would go insane.

When eggplant did make it to American, brought here by the adventuresome botanist Thomas Jefferson, it was used as a lovely table ornament until 50 years later when someone truly adventuresome actually cooked it.

An eggplant is in its glory in late summer, August and September. This is the best time to experiment with this interesting veggie as it is less prone to be bitter like the eggplants you will find in the grocery section

Eggplant and caramelized onion gratin This dish is a great meatless main dish or you can layer in ground meat of your choice to make it meatier. Any fresh herb can be substituted instead of the basil, like rosemary or thyme. You can also substitute other summer veggies in this like zucchini, just don’t roast them first.

3 pounds of eggplant 1 teaspoon of sea salt and freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup of olive oil 2 large onions, sliced 4 farm fresh eggs 1 cup of milk or half and half 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon of good balsamic vinegar 10 large basil leaves sliced into slivers Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly oil a 11 x 7 glass baking dish. Cut the eggplants into rounds about a 1/2 inch thick. Salt them, if you think they need it, and set them aside while the moisture and bitterness draw out, about 1/2 hour or so.

While the eggplants are doing their thing heat up one to two tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook nice and slow, while stirring, until soft and golden, about 12-15 minutes. Scrape the onions into a bowl to await their moment. When the onions are cooking, beat the eggs in a nice fat bowl with the milk, stir in the cheese, vinegar, one teaspoon of salt and fresh ground pepper.

Back to the eggplant. If you salted them, wash them off with water then wick off the water with a paper towel. Pour the remaining oil in a lipped baking sheet and wipe the rounds in the oil and turn them over, so they all have some olive oil on them. Tuck them in the over on a top rack to roast for 25 minutes until golden. Take out of the oven and lower the heat to 350 degrees. Layer the eggplant into your glass baking dish.

Next, layer in the onions and basil and pour the egg custard over the top of it all. Bake until firm, golden and puffed, about 30 – 40 minutes. Allow this masterpiece to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Cut up some cherry tomatoes and toss in balsamic vinegar to serve on top for a smashing garnish. Bon appetite! in winter and spring. The larger the eggplant the more bitter it can taste from the seeds. Choose smaller eggplants, fresh and plump, for your cooking.

If you do have a larger eggplant, cut it up like the recipe requires, then salt it, let it drain

in a colander for around an hour, rinse it and pat it dry. This process will draw all the bitter out of even a giant eggplant.

(Can I salt my brother-in-law?)

Another interesting tidbit; do not store your eggplants in the fridge. It makes them bitter too.

Keep them on the counter with your tomatoes for delicious sweet flavor.

There are many different types of eggplant, like the ones dancing on my counter.

The large purple ones that we are all familiar with are called “American” or “Globe” eggplants. “Italian” eggplants look like the globe eggplants but smaller. Then the long skinny ones are called either “Chinese” or “Japanese” eggplant. These are super easy to use and are hardly ever bitter due to their small girth. White eggplants are just called “white.” (Wow, someone was super creative on that one.) I have also gotten this lovely large eggplant in my box that was deep purple and looked like a velvet purse with deep gathers in it, called “Violet Beauty.” That one was fun to make lasagna with using it in the place of noodles.

Some great recipes ideas for eggplant that I got while researching this article are: • Make mini pizzas by slicing eggplant into rounds, brush with olive oil, then roast for 25 minutes then topping with pizza topping and cheese, bake until the cheese is melted.

• Slice into lengthwise slices, about a 1/2 inch thick, brush both side with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper then grill on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. You can also make the pizzas this way or sprinkle with feta cheese chopped tomatoes and slivered basil.

• Cube and add to your soups, stews, or tomatoes sauces for extra depth.

• Slice eggplant in half, bake skin side up for 1/2 hour, scoop out some of the meat and mix with some tomato sauce and veggies, stuff the eggplant, top with cheese and bake till bubbly and cheese is golden.

I had my way with those dancing eggplants on my counter and made this magnificent dish. It is so versatile and delicious. I tossed in some other things I had in the fridge like mushrooms, Italian sausage and zucchini. It was amazing and great for the family or for company. Despite myself, I think I have learned more than one way to cook eggplant. (But not a hundred!)

“Last year people went home with the cream of the crop of CARTM’s donations and many got that cream for bargain prices,” said CARTM’s director Jan Hamilton. “I’ve been work-

ing with Belinda for years and she still amazes me at her knowledge about the items that come through our donations building. Belinda is a master at pulling out the treasures and making sure we have the best of the best for this event.”

The doors open for the auction preview at 4:30 p.m. when buyers can get a catalog, see all of the items displayed, and make plans on which “lots” to bid on throughout the evening. For those unfamiliar with live auctions, every lot is given a number and are auctioned in numeric order so buyers can plan for when lots are coming up on the block. Auction goers can stay as little or as long as they like at this free event.

Due to the fragile nature of some lots and the fast paced style, auctions of this kind are not suitable for small children.

The 2nd Annual CARTM Treasures Live Auction is a fundraiser for CARTM’s general operations. Payment types accepted will be cash, credit, debit and local checks.

As typical with all professional auctions, a 10 percent buyers premium will be added to all purchases. Food and beverage concessions will be for sale and offered by Rockaway Lions Club.

Bring your neighbors, friends and visitors for a lively entertaining evening.

CARTM’s staff and board of directors is dedicated to their mission of “Leading Our Community To Zero Waste,” and as such are continually on the look out for local residents who want to help lead that charge. The organization recently welcomed two new members to CARTM’s hard-working, visionary board.

Barbara Krueger and Michael Maginnis are the newest additions to the CARTM board, which is led by Karen Reddick-Yurka, CARTM’s chair along with Linda Kozlowski, vice-chair; Cathy Silver, treasurer; and board members Susan Walsh and Carl Vandervoort.

Barbara Krueger, who has not only joined the board but also taken on the board secretary role, is originally from the mid-west and made numerous visits to the Oregon coast before making Manzanita her home in 2009.

She is retired from a career with the federal government, most recently as a technical expert for the Social Security Administration. Barbara holds a B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.

Michael Maginnis retired to Manzanita in 2009 from a career in wood products. He has a B.S. degree from the University of Oregon. Michael has served in a variety of volunteer activities in the community and was intrigued by a thought-provoking comment a friend made when Michael asked where his garbage can was.

When his friend replied, “I don’t really have a garbage,” Michael turned his attention to CARTM’s mission and has dedicated himself to the cause.

CARTM has been leading the community to zero waste since 1997.

This community non-profit offers a unique trio of services: recycling (over 40 different materials for free), reuse store (the new Refindery), and refuse – garbage destined for the landfill.

CARTM is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. For more information about CARTM and its zero waste mission visit www.cartm.org.

During the luncheon, children read a note of thanks to the two for their efforts.

“The Grub Club is a wonderful and much needed program for these kids,”said Peter Nunn, NCRD general manager. “I know the children and their parents really appreciated all the effort that went into making it happen.”

Sponsored by local churches, Grub Club has been providing free summer lunches to local children for over five years. Up to 40 children a day participate.

A Tillamook County team took third place in the Oregon Tuna Classic competition.

Team Big Wave Café competed with 46 other teams for the ranking.

The annual event, held Aug. 16 and 17, in Garibaldi, benefits the Oregon Food Bank with locally caught fish and financial donations.

In fact, this year, the event generated more than 10,000 pounds of fresh albacore tuna which volunteers will can before it is distributed to area food pantries. Darus Peake, who co-owns the Tillamook Bay Boathouse, raised $12,000 to pay for fish processing and canning at his facility.

The first Oregon Tuna Classic event of the year was held July 26 and 27 in Ilwaco, Wash., with fish and money benefiting Pacific County, Washington food pantries.

Team Big Wave Café was composed of Brian Williams, who owns the café, which is located in Manzanita, and the Mojo Risin’ boat, Jake Brown (also known as “Jake the Plummer”) and Chris Bennett. The team’s third-place finish was “very surprising given the quality of the field and the majorbrand-sponsored teams,” said Williams.

Greg Elliott, chairman of the Oregon Tuna Classic, acknowledged that “some of the finest anglers in the Northwest” participated in the event, which was hosted by the City of Garibaldi and sponsored by Duckworth and Weldcraft boats.

At the end of the competition, each team turned in five tuna to be weighed.

Winners were determined by the total weight of the fish.

Friday, Aug. 16 winners were Team Priorities Strait, which finished first with 126.10 pounds, followed by Team Englund Marine/OpporTuna-Ty with 119.4 pounds, barely edging out Team Big Wave Café, which finished at 119.30 pounds.

A total of roughly 20 to 30 Tillamook County residents participated in the event, said Elliott. “There are several teams whose members live in Portland, but they moor their boats in Garibaldi,” he added.

The Garibaldi tournament was filled with firsts, said Elliott. “We ended up with only 36 teams turning in fish as a few boats either couldn’t find fish or encountered mechanical issues. This led to the first annual ‘Irish Mooring Café Sportsman Award’ that was given to Captain Jason
