Wildfires in January? What next? By Dave Fisher The Citizen
Unusually dry conditions, combined with relatively low humidity and east winds, often create the perfect storm for wildfires to sprout and burn out of control, but in January? What’s that all about? Such was the case just recently when firefighters throughout Western Oregon found themselves battling a handful of wildfires – five in the Cascades southeast of Salem, three outside Coos Bay, two more in southwestern Oregon near Ashland and two near Arch Cape between Cannon Beach and Manzanita. Dry winds fanned the flames of the two fires in the vicinity of Arch Cape, according to Forestry Department spokeswoman Ashley Lertora, one fire about five miles southeast of Cannon Beach that burned 273 acres on private timberland and the smaller fire that ended up burning 31 acres a couple of miles away.
At the height of the Falcon fire near Arch Cape, which burned 273 acres, above, there were times all firefighters could do was watch the blaze. In the summer of 2005, right, Nehalem Bay area firefighters were called into action to fight a couple of wildfires on the Nehalem spit, one of which threatened houses.

day, Jan. 24 in the remains of slash burns from logging operations last fall. Extreme dry weather and high winds re-kindled the slash piles,
which were not completely out. Slash piles, which are ignited in the fall with the onset of the rainy season, are generally not a concern. Lertora, a forester who has worked out of the Astoria office of the Oregon Department of Forestry the past two decades, said she has seen instances where slash piles got out of control in November and December, but not in January. “They were on a much smaller scale, not even close (in size) to the 31 acre fire,” she said. The same goes for Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District Chief Perry Sherbaugh, whose firefighting career spans 28 years. “I’ve never seen anything like this, never a wildfire of this size, not even in the summer… this was a good-sized fire,” said

To those not privy to the Laneda Ave. project, which calls for the widening and resurfacing of Manzanita’s main street from Division St. to just short of Hwy 101 this spring, the tree stumps which appeared last along the north side of the street was, perhaps, an alarming sight. It’s actually all part of the plan. Tillamook County Public Works crews cleared the trees, which stood in the public right-of-way as a first step in the streetwidening project. Tillamook County owns the

Spaghetti fundraiser to benefit North County Food Bank On the heels of its Library Lovers Dinner, a benefit for the North Tillamook County Library Friends, the Big Wave will
host a spaghetti dinner with proceeds benefitting the North County Food Bank on Feb. 17. “We do our best to make

sure no one goes hungry,” said Imie Camelli, president of the food bank, which is located in the Nehalem Bay Health District building in Wheeler. “Even though the recession is officially over, there are a lot of people at risk of going hungry in the community,” said Brian Williams, who, with his wife Carol, owns the Big Wave Café. “The food bank fills a crucial gap, and we are honored to help its volunteers continue their mission.” In recent years, the Big Wave has hosted dinners on behalf of a number of local nonprofit organizations, including the Pine Grove Community Club, Rinehart Clinic and Manzanita Business Alliance. The North County Food Bank serves much of north Tillamook County, including the Nehalem Bay area. “The closest food pantry to them is in Garibaldi, at God’s Lighthouse, so they serve quite a large part of north county,” said Melissa Carlson-Swanson,
Tillamook County Oregon Food Bank branch services manager. The food bank plans to use the proceeds to purchase more food to give to the local hungry. The operation is entirely volunteer-run. Part of the Oregon Food Bank system, the North County Food Bank receives food from both the Oregon Food Bank and local donors. However, “We have to buy an awful lot of our food these days,” said Camelli. As for Williams’ generosity, Camelli said, “He’s doing it again. He’s wonderful. He’s a big asset to the community.” The dinner is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 17 at the Big Wave Cafe. Tickets, which will be available at the door, will cost $15 each. In addition to all-you-can-eat spaghetti, the dinner will feature garlic bread, salad and dessert. The North County Food Bank is open 1-3 p.m., Tuesdays. Donations can
be dropped off from noon to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. For more information, call (503) 358-7724.

Nearly 100 Library Lovers filled The Big Wave January 28, to raise money for the North Tillamook Library. Thanks to the generosity of Carol and Brian Williams, owners of the Big Wave Café, who contributed the dinner, Friends of North Tillamook Library raised $2,300. “Brian and Carol’s generosity and commitment to our community is truly exceptional,” said NTLB President Kay Stepp. “We are very appreciative that they chose to support the North Tillamook Library, especially in a year where we have some extraordinary maintenance expenses.” The library had planned to replace gutters and rebuild the drainage system in 2014. Then, in January, new exterior and interior water leaks added a new water service to the Board’s agenda. Stepp estimates repairs will exceed $10,000. Stepp also expressed thanks to Judy and Chung Lee of The Little Apple and Julie Barker of Bread and Ocean who contributed
in our community,” said Stepp.

Flood insurance delay bill passes Senate By Joe Wrabek For the Citizen
The flood insurance delay bill (S.1926) introduced last fall by U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and 27 other senators, passed the U.S. Senate Thursday morning, Jan. 30. Merkely and Oregon’s other Senator, Ron Wyden, organized a conference call with Oregon media to publicize the event. “We just voted,” Merkley reported. “The ‘Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act’ is in the process of being passed.” Merkley called the legislation “a very important fix to halt the damage the Biggert-Waters Act is doing to middle-class families.” Fixing the U.S. government’s flood insurance program, which was billions of dollars in debt, was a “laudable goal,” Merkley said, but Biggert-Waters “has done it in way that’s caused a huge effect on the market.” Every $1,000 in premium increases, he claimed, devalued a home by $20,000. “A lot is wrong when families are worried more about flood insurance than they are about floods,” he said. Flood insurance hikes “are one of the top issues that comes up in town hall meetings,” Wyden noted. “It came up repeatedly in meetings with community leaders, too,” Merkley added. “A lot of folks are walking an economic tightrope,” Wyden said, and the escalating premiums are resulting in “Americans being priced out of their homes.” He described the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s “re-mapping” process, that’s putting people in flood zones who were never there before, as “a bureaucratic never-never land.” The flood insurance delay bill proposes to delay flood insurance premium increases for two years, giving FEMA eight months
Downtown Nehalem is one of many areas affected by high water in the Nehalem Valley area when heavy rains and high tides combine to flood parking lots and portion of U.S. 101. File photo to do an affordability study (one was mandated by the Biggert-Waters Act, too, but FEMA never did it) and giving Congress another six months to review the results. The delay applies to homes and businesses that were built to code but subsequently “re-mapped” into higher-risk zones, and to those that were sold after July 6, 2012 (the latter group are being forced to pay “market rate” flood insurance premiums immediately, rather than having increases phased in over a number of years). Merkley said the bill also removes what he called a “Catch-22” in current regulations, that forces property owners appealing flood zone inclusions to do so at their own expense. The bill would allow homeowners who successfully appeal to get reimbursed. An amendment to the bill proposed by Merkley limits the practice of “force-placed” insurance, where a property owner is told they have to purchase flood insurance (after a “remapping,” for instance) and doesn’t do so fast enough. “Force-placed policies are very good for insurers and very bad for families,”
Merkley said. “They’re many times the fair market rate for policies, and can drive folks into foreclosure.” Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart offered thanks to local insurance and real estate agents “for all their hard work in providing factual information to Sen. Merkley” so he could cosponsor and support passage of the bill. “Tillamook County worked very hard to get this bill passed,” Labhart said. “We saw the devastating effects it was having on increased insurance rates and in some cases the ability of some folks to even sell their homes.” While the legislation isn’t perfect, Labhart said, “It gives us some breathing room to get the situation fixed.” The flood-insurance bill still has to be acted upon by the U.S. House of Representatives. There is a companion bill that was introduced in the House at the same time Merkley’s bill was introduced in the Senate. Rep. Kurt Schrader, who represents Tillamook County in Congress, is one of the sponsors. A date for House action has yet to be determined.

Manzanita, Oregon n North Coast Citizen n February 6, 2014 n 3
Tela Skinner joins Hoffman Board Tela Skinner of Neahkahnie has been appointed to the board of directors of the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. Skinner grew up in Michigan, but an early trip to Oregon saw her fall in love with the coast. She eventually moved to Portland for work, but maintained connections with Manzanita by building a second home there. She and her husband Michael Maginnis retired and moved to Manzanita full time in 2008. Skinner holds a bachelor’s degree in human studies and a master’s in gerontology. She worked part-time at a variety of social science research projects at OHSU and PSU. “I’ve volunteered for Hoffman Center’s Writers’ Series, organizing workshops and providing refreshments,” she said. “I also helped with the first Film Series plus other art and writing events, such as Hoffapalooza, Trash Art, Talent Shows, Transplant Your Art Sales, and Liz Cole’s ‘Storytime for Grownups.’” Skinner volunteers at the library, and managed the annual book sale for three years. “I’m a regular participant at Center for Contemplative Arts’ meditation-painting classes, and I’ve taken art classes at the Hoffman Center.” She took writing classes from Michael Burgess, and started the Burgess Writing group after his death. It has been meeting weekly for 3-1/2 years. Skinner and fellow new board member Marcia Silver are developing a series of open writing sessions for the public to use the Center. “I hope we
can start open art sessions for the public. I’d like the gallery to be used for ongoing art shows.” “As a board member, finishing the remodel project will be a high priority. With every improvement made, the center becomes more inviting for a variety of uses,” she said. “Collectively, the local population has so much creativity to offer, it would be wonderful to find ways to coordinate community skills and enthusiasm for its programs so the center will flourish.” “We were very pleased that Tela has joined the board. She has lots of good ideas and is eager to implement them,” said board president David Dillon. “That’s what it takes for an important local institution like the Hoffman Center.”

– strength and belief in yourself, in your power, because you are very powerful and that in itself is a bit scary. However, once you give yourself permission to feel your own unique strength, you will experience a sense of liberation and self-respect. Facing our fears robs them of their powers. This experience comes moment by moment. It is not always about getting somewhere. Goals are great and helpful, but goals are only achieved each step along the way. It does mean building incrementally; the challenge is in the moment and in the moment after that. Remember: “A journey of a thousand mile journey begins with a single step” (Laozi). When you hear the selftalk that is self-defeating, similar to, “Oh, I use to be…” or “If I could only be…” that is you leaving the moment and letting your fear get in the way. Step back and observe your mind as it offers many excuses for not taking action. This is your opportunity to walk through your fears. It is the opportunity to making those life-changing choices that give you the satisfaction and feel of success. It is as simple as ordering a meal at a restaurant, reaching for a healthy snack when you are hungry or putting your shoes on to walk out the door for a hike or walk. Each moment you choose to act in the positive life changing ways that you desire, you are choosing an action that will dissolve the fears you cling to. Try to quiet that noise and get back to you! By finding this strength, you will get to enjoy the place you live in – your body.

in which we foolishly made mistakes. Like most human beings we tend to erase the really serious or drastic happenings. Getting back on the bicycle just after the crash has always been a symbol of courage and maybe those other bad things serve to equip us to handle other problems. Some times there are simple answers to questions we may have and often we stumble on the solution with just pure logic. I always get a chuckle out of the story about the little kid asking the police man about the wanted posters. The cop explained that they were bad people and should be punished. The kid asks, “Why didn’t you keep them when you took the pictures?” Living in a small town such as our spot here on the Oregon coast it is hard to keep in mind just how many people there are in other places. When I see the mass of people attending an audience with the Pope, I try imagining those folks trying to get a peek
just one particular instance. The next time you drive south from Wheeler, take time to look at the existing rail line and try to visualize how a ‘trail’ fits in, not only from an environmental point of view, but how will coastal communities be affected as well? The mayors of Manzanita and Nehalem, citing safety concerns, like the idea of getting cyclists and pedestrians off of U.S. 101 and on the trail, but is there a better way to do that, and at a lower cost? As for the economic boon, don’t get your hopes up. Trails to Rails projects in other more densely populated parts of the country have fared well, but this is northwestern Oregon. Does anybody really think that people on horseback and bicycles, and hikers with knapsacks on their back are going to show up in droves, especially during the winter, which is when the local economy really needs a shot in the arm? It’s generally agreed that summer takes care of itself. The thought here is that the trail, like campgrounds, will see little action during the rainy season. So, before we get too excited, we need to sit back and scrutinize the plan with an intense ‘scrute’ as it evolves. Perhaps, our worse fears are unfounded, but we need to be part of the process. Said OPRD’s Rocky Houston, who serves as project manager, “We’re on a roller coaster and just getting to the top. There’s a lot in front of us, but it’s the fun part.” Let’s hope this isn’t an amusement ride, as I have the distinct feeling a lot of us aren’t going to be amused. And, then, there’s always the nagging question regarding a project of this magnitude: Is there something better we could be doing with our money? Stay tuned.
at our part of the world. On some summer weekends we are pretty sure they are all on Highway 101. I always make it a point to acknowledge strangers I meet when I go to the post office for my daily mail. Those with out of state license plates are easy to spot. Just a smile and a good morning is all it takes to spark a conversation. Most of those people are just in love with what they can see of our area. We always look our best at high tide and sometimes our local herd of elk will make an appearance out on the island. I explain that much of what they are looking at in the park was put there by volunteers, and that some of those same people spend part of their time doing the gardening and pruning that is needed. Life does have it’s ups and downs and the secret is to concentrate on the ups and try to avoid the downs as you remember a friendly smile and a “Good morning.” It’s a wonderful start for any day!
Letters to the Editor ‘Thank you’ donors If it were not for the encouragement of so many donors who send checks, drop off gifts to help fellow neighbors, include little notes and greetings with their offerings, it would be indeed difficult to keep going. Recently, however, we received a handwritten thank you note from a young mother that made it all worthwhile. Allow me to share what I can: Dearest TCSA, I am finding it very difficult to write this for every word seems so small and simple. I came to you with nowhere else to turn. I had very little hope and was very afraid. My heart was broken at the thought that my son would have no Christmas. I was without a single dollar in my purse; we didn’t even have a tree. I had no ideas and very little faith. I felt very ashamed that I, his mother, would fail him at Christmas. I not only feared no Christmas but that we would lose our car and possibly even our home. I was deeply and truly afraid!
I cannot begin to express the thankfulness your kindness and generosity brought to my life. I returned home with a Christmas tree. I wrapped “all” the gifts you provided and when came out of his room, we danced and laughed. He felt each gift guessing what it would be. He stared at me with so much joy and amazement hugging me saying ‘Thank you, Mom’ over and over. Due to your gas card we drove around looking at Christmas lights and singing Christmas carols. I explained that Christmas wasn’t about presents but a celebration of our lord. I told my son he would always have angels watching over (him) us if we always kept our faith and belief. My son looked at me and told me that not only was I ‘his mother’ but also ‘his angel.’ I cried a little for little did he know I had angels watching over me. Thank you, Lord, for the love of my angels. This mother had only asked for Christmas, but as we interviewed her further, we found she was down on her luck and the bleakness of the
holiday was not helping the situation. She had recently switched jobs and the new one had fewer hours and a lot less tips. The downgrade in her income was so severe that she had exhausted the entire of her summer savings just to stay afloat, finally coming to us as a last resort. Because of the generosity of our donors and the heartfelt sentiment to ensure our most hurting families receive a major dose of Christmas cheer, we were able to pay her electric bill, cover her insurance premium, afford gift certificates for gasoline, shoes and jeans in a size we didn’t have, plus fill a ten day food box and award her son a Christmas supply of clothing, toys, along with the wrapping paper, tape and ribbons to make it a special holiday. I stayed strong through her awe at the amount of her Christmas gifting, but ‘puddled-up’ when she pointed to the filled, handmade stocking and exclaimed, “You even include the candy?” She left wiping tears away knowing her new year was going to be a bet-
ter one as she had been granted breathing room and a fresh start courtesy of Tillamook County Secret Angels. Thank you one and all for your support and concern. This was one for the books and definitely worth the extra mile we walked to give a fellow neighbor a gift of hope and healing. Nancy Bogle, Coordinator Tillamook County Secret Angels
‘Thank you’ Little Apple
The members of the Pine Grove Community House sincerely thank Chung and Judy Lee, proprietors of the Little Apple Market, for catering our annual Christmas dinner. The roast turkey was juicy and tender, the ham was succulent, and all of the sides were delicious. We also thank the Little Apple employees who helped prepare and serve the savory meal.

Oregon Transfer Days and Career Fair set Feb. 12
A new hiking series is being offered by Lower Nehalem Community Trust, which intends to offer expeditions throughout the year exploring the Trust’s 220 square mile service area. Local wildlife biologist Ted Chu will lead the first hike to Soapstone Meadows and Lake in the Clatsop State Forest on Saturday, Feb. 15. Participants are asked to meet at 9:00 a.m. at Nehalem’s downtown municipal parking lot at the traffic light to carpool to the trailhead. In the event of heavy rain, the hike will be postponed to Sunday, Feb. 16, same time and place. The hike is suitable for all ages and most abilities. There are some stairs and bridges to cross, and all the steps are very short. Soapstone is 30 minutes from downtown Nehalem, and the hike will last about 2.5 hours, depending on the size and pace of the group. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes for hiking, bring water, and a lunch or heavy snack. Immediately following the Soapstone hike will be an optional visit to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s North Nehalem Hatchery. Joe Watkins, hatchery manager, will discuss the history and role of hatcheries in anadromous fish populations that migrate from the sea into fresh water to spawn. “Soapstone has much to offer the hiker,” said hike leader Ted Chu. “Like impressive, mature Doug fir and Sitka spruce, which may be 100 to 150 year old specimens, and it seems to be one of the most productive roughskinned newt habitats around. Also, there are active deer and elk in the area. I’m guessing the lake probably has native adfluvial cutthroat trout. And at the beginning of the hike there’s an old homestead site located in a beautiful open meadow.” Oregon’s State Forests are actively managed, including for timber harvest purposes. This hike is a glimpse into less dramatic, but equally important portions of the watershed, which also make vital contributions to water quality. This is the first community offering Chu has led for LNCT. In the area for eight years, he grew up in the Bay Area and began his lifelong passion for wildlife with a fondness for reptiles and amphibians, which he’s quick to point out are “small and catchable.” Chu worked in the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for 30 years where he was last assigned to southeast Idaho bordering Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. He first learned about LNCT through founding board member, Doug Firstbrook. With a history of conservation activism in Idaho, he naturally said yes when Firstbrook invited him to join the Trust’s Lands Committee. No fee or pre-registration is required for the hike.

CCB #128946
Tickets are now on sale for one of theatre’s most timeless classics. The slamming of the front door at the end of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House”shatters the romantic façade of the Helmers’marriage. After years of Nora and Torvald deceiving one another and themselves, consciously and subconsciously, Nora finally recognizes the urgency for her own freedom. Her character continues to be one of the most strikingly dramatic heroines of the late-nineteenth century. The playwright’s radical views shocked his audiences in 1879, and his insights into human relationships are still relevant today. Remaining performance are Feb. 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, with Talk Back slated on Feb. 20. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances start at 3 p.m. Ticket prices are $15 and $20.

From page 1 Sherbaugh, who referred to the recent fires as an “eye-opener” for firefighters and the general public. If Sherbaugh had his choice, he’d much rather fight house fires than wildfires. “The dynamics are different. How a fire affected by winds behaves in hills and canyons isn’t the same as a structure fire. That’s how firefighters get killed fighting those fires.” At one point, while trying to keep the Falcon fire, the larger of the two wildfires, from jumping a logging road and spreading further, firefighters had to vacate the area and set up about a half mile away because of winds and flare-ups, said Sherbaugh. Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue was one of many local area fire districts that supplied manpower and apparatus to help fight the fires. It’s too early to tell how this

I crunched the numbers, asking where the $17 million in fire budget was going. “It makes those issues very tangible, that’s where I got pushed into municipal management.” Wullschlager also worked for Portland State. He was a financial aid officer, a job he described as “half social worker, half accountant. I spent eight years
n Stumptown From page 1 eastern portion of Laneda Ave., which after improvements will be transferred to the City of Manzanita. Dubbed a compromise, a balance of private and public needs, by city officials, the need to do so arose with the results of an updated survey, which revealed that improvements by property owners over the years on the north side of Laneda actually encroached in the public right-of-way. In the case of Columbia Bank (formerly The Bank of Astoria), the sidewalk in front of its building is three feet into the right-of-way. A pine tree, which stood in front of the bank at the edge of the sidewalk, was one of the trees removed. Further west, a single car garage protruded into the rightof-way as does landscaping associated with Coast Cabins.

ODOT has scheduled a public meeting about the project on Monday, Feb. 10, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Pine Grove Community House, 225 Laneda Ave., in Manzanita. At the meeting, ODOT staff will provide the public with additional information about the project, the project schedule and traffic control plans.

dealing with different personal and financial situations.” He was urged to apply for the city manager job in Wheeler by one of his professors. He’d visited the beach frequently as a student, with his dogs. “Bayocean for years was the Labs’ favorite place,” he said. Wheeler, Wullschlager said, faces problems common to a lot of cities on the coast. “Water is a problem,” he said. “There’s too much of it. What do you do with it?” There’s runoff, erosion, and silt buildup in the bay, he noted. “Unless money is falling off trees, it’s going to be a constant problem.”
There have been some upgrades to Wheeler’s stormwater drainage system over time, he said, “but no system’s perfect. Wheeler has made an effort to make it work right. Wheeler has been very conservative with what they do with their budget – they have limited resources.” Long term, “I’d really like to try to leverage the natural beauty of this town,” Wullschlager said. “That doesn’t mean you have to have growth,” he emphasized, echoing a theme in Wheeler’s vision documents. He suggested the Salmonberry Rails and Trails project could increase economic activity in the city. “We’ll just
In a trade-off with Coast Cabins, the Laneda project design allows for a bump-out in front of one of the cabins to allow greater space between it and the street. Owners of the garage in question have already removed the portion of it that was in the right-of-way. The city is looking at completing the project prior to the 2014 tourist season. The final portion of Laneda Ave. to be resurfaced, widened, and connecting it to Hwy 101, will be done by the Oregon Department of Transportation in 2015 as part its improvements to 101. As for the term “Stumptown?” That nickname was earned by Portland, Oregon in the mid-1800s, because of the city’s growth as residents cleared land but did not always remove the tree stumps in a timely manner. People, back then, were reported to have jumped from stump to stump to avoid the muddy, unpaved roads. Fortunately, for Manzanita residents and visitors, Laneda Ave. is paved. no more than 20-minute delays. However, there will be a full closure of U.S. 101 for three days when the rock screen is installed with the help of a large crane or helicopter. The closure will be on a Tuesday through Thursday, each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with detours in place. ODOT will provide advance notification and detour signs for the closure to allow travelers to plan alternative routes. The new screen length is approximately 225 feet long and will extend up the hillside at Neahkahnie. The new screen should prevent rocks from falling on to U.S. 101. Questions about the project can be directed to Alvin Shoblom, the project manager, at (503) 986-2865 or alvin. shoblom@odot.state.or.us.

2014. Some of the goals are carryovers from 2013, such as deciding what to do with city-owned buildings, creating a second bicycle/pedestrian path and reviewing water rates. As for project successfully completed in 2013, the new visitors center was completed by year’s end and the Third Street water lines and street repair project was completed in a timely manner and came in within budget at a cost of $485K. In process are the Laneda Ave. improvement project and final landscaping of the visitors center. More importantly, maintains Mayor Garry Bullard is the framework under which the current council has operated the past eight years he has been mayor. He touched on that in his State of the City address at the January meeting of the Pine Grove Community Club. “Our overall goal is to
maintain the village character of Manzanita and to strike a balance between the related interests of business, tourists and second homeowners, and livability for full-time residents within our very special village, while maintaining financial stability integrity and transparency,” Bullard noted in his speech. Having grown with the position he has held the past several years, Bullard is most appreciative of those he has had the opportunity to work with, while, from the beginning of his term in office, avoiding the pitfalls of micro-managing city staff. “We’re very fortunate to have a long term city manager in Jerry Taylor,” Bullard told the Citizen, “and we have a council made up of talented individuals that hasn’t changed in its makeup, except with the resignation of Ray Scales because of health reasons, as long as
I have been mayor.” So far, so good, and it’s a trend that Mayor Bullard looks to continue in the coming year as the city council looks to achieve the goals it has set for itself.

bodes for the upcoming fire season. A typical rainy spring is what ODF is hoping for to minimize wildfire danger this summer. “We hope to return to a regular weather pattern,” said Lertora, who expressed the department’s gratitude to rural fire departments for their help in controlling the January fires. Sherbaugh, who recalls the summer of 2005 when a wildfire on Nehalem spit threatened homes, said if the prevailing dry weather pattern holds up, a burn ban, including a ban on recreational fires, could go into effect as early as June, instead of August. “I anticipate an earlier than normal fire season from ODF,” said Sherbaugh. With the January wildfires, it appears the fire season may have already arrived. As far as burn bans, normally reserved during the summer months, the first one of 2014, a temporary two-day burn ban, occurred at the height of the Arch Cape fires.

Manzanita, Oregon n North Coast Citizen n February 6, 2014 n 9
Writers’ Series features author Karen Karbo Feb. 15 Author Karen Karbo will read from her book, Julia Child Rules, at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita at 7p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Many of us have dogeared copies of Mastering the Art of French Cooking in our kitchens or fondly remember watching episodes of The French Chef, but what was behind the enormous appeal of this ungainly, unlikely woman, who became a superstar in midlife and changed our approach to food and cooking forever? With her characteristic wit and flair, Karbo takes us for a spin through Julia’s life, including her years working for the OSS in Sri Lanka; her world-class love affairs with Paris and Paul Child; and her decades as America’s beloved French chef. Karbo highlights important life lessons along the way – how to live by your whims, make the world your oyster, and enjoy a life of full immersion. According to Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, “Karen Karbo has written that rare bird of a book: one that manages on every page to be as enlightening as it is entertaining, as smart as it is funny.” Karbo’s 2004 memoir,
Karen Karbo The Stuff of Life, about the last year she spent with her father before his death, was an NYT Notable Book, a People Magazine Critics’ Choice, a Books for a Better Life Award finalist, and a winner of the Oregon Book Award for Creative Non-fiction. She is most well known for her best-selling Kick Ass Women series, including How Georgia Became O’Keeffe and How to Hepburn. The Gospel According to Coco Chanel became an international bestseller. Her short stories, essays, articles and reviews have appeared in numerous national magazines and
she’s penned three books in the Minerva Clark mystery series for children. She is the co-author, with Gabrielle Reece, of Big Girl in the Middle, and the New York Times bestselling, My Foot is Too Big for the Glass Slipper: A Guide to the Less than Perfect Life. Karbo grew up in Los Angeles, California and now lives in Portland. Following her reading and Q&A period, the Open Mic segment of the evening’s program features up to nine local writers reading five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $5. The Writers’ Series Reading Group will meet the Thursday prior to Karen’s reading, Feb. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Manzanita Library. Everyone is invited to bring a friend to both events. The events are programs of the Hoffman Center and will be held at the Hoffman Center, across from Manzanita Library, at 594 Laneda Ave. Further information is available at hoffmanblog. org online or contact Vera Wildauer, vwildauer@ gmail.com.
Writers’ Series makes changes entering its sixth year
NThe Manzanita Writers’ Series entered its sixth year June 2013. “Looking back, it’s been quite a run,” according to co-founder Vera Wildauer, “with a wide variety of featured authors of different genres.” (See sidebar for the full list.) “We like to say we discovered Cheryl Strayed before Oprah did and Garth Stein before the New York Times Bestseller list did,” Wildauer added. “Plus we’ve had people say they’ve been introduced to many new favorite authors they might not have read without the series.” As the Manzanita Writers’ Series continues, the organizers are introducing changes to keep programs fresh. “We realized that our attendance numbers were dropping steadily over time, from averages of 60 to 70 people in early years to current averages of 20 to 30,” said Kathie Hightower, one of the series founders. The event organizers decided to survey many regular attendees and readers to get input from their perspective and have made changes based on feedback.
Manzanita Writers’ Series featured authors since June 2008 2008: Jennie Shortridge, Ursula K. Le Guin, Molly Gloss, Thor Hanson, Garth Stein, and Susan Fletcher. 2009: Judith Barrington, Steve Duin, Floyd Skloot, Willa Schneberg, April Henry, Jan Baross, Philip Margolin, Lauren Kessler, Tom Hager, Brian Doyle, Diana Abu-Jabr, Karen Karbo, and Matt Love. 2010: Jennie Shortridge Oregon Book Awards Author Tour (Carmen BernierGrand, Bonnie Henderson, Gina Ochsner), Cheryl Strayed, Sage Cohen, Bryan Harnetiaux, Jim Lynch, Cathy Lamb, John Kroger, Stephanie Kallos, and Terry Brooks. 2011: Brian Doyle, Oregon Book
Awards Finalist Tour (Emily Chenowith, K.B. Dixon, Lisa Harris), PoetryFest (Paulann Peterson, Margaret Chula, Penelope Scambly Schott, Carlos Reyes), Jane Kirkpatrick, Jennifer Lauck, John Daniel, Naseem Rakha, Miriam Gershow, Jess Walter, and Chelsea Cain. 2012: Ismet Prcic Marjorie Sandor, Carlos Reyes, Deborah Reed, Matt Love, Steve Duin, Shannon Wheeler, Willy Vlautin, and Jen Violi. 2013: Erica Bauermeister, Patrick deWitt, Stephanie Lenox, John Morrison, Jim Lynch, Natalie Serber, Jennie Shortridge, Pauls Toutonghi, Whitney Otto, and Christopher Lord.
Cheryl Strayed The admission price for author events will be reduced from $7 to $5 based on survey responses. This reduced fee barely covers overhead costs, such as use of the Hoffman Center building, so additional donations are always welcome. This is a test to see if the reduced fee increases attendance overall. During 2014, the series will host six different featured authors, in February, March, May, September, October and November. Events with a different focus and format will take in place April, May and December. One of the Writer’s Series team members, Phyllis Mannan, an ardent advocate of poets and poetry, is coordinating the third annual PoetryFest in April to include morning and afternoon workshops followed by roundtable readings of previously written work, open
to the public. On the third Saturday of May there will be an independent publishers’ panel during the day. That evening, an author published by Forest Avenue Press, one of the “indie presses,” will be the featured author. In December the Writers’ Series again hosts its annual North Coast Squid literary magazine launch party to launch the fourth edition, with Open Mic readings from the Squid entries. Daytime writing workshops will continued to be offered with any of the featured authors who teach workshop topics not covered in the past. In addition, team member Tela Skinner and new volunteer Marcia Silver have created an ongoing weekly Writing Lounge at the Hoffman Center every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., to encourage local writing (and hopefully more Open Mic readers). “The changes are a test to see if we can increase the attendance numbers and the variety of Open Mic readings,” said Hightower, “We want to keep the series interesting and fresh to draw the widest possible audience.” The events are programs of the Hoffman Center are held at the Hoffman Center, across from Manzanita Library, at 594 Laneda Ave.

While this racket is going on, mix together the roasting broth. When the roast is done browning, pour the broth over the roast, cover, and tuck in the oven to bake for 3-4 hours (depending on the roast size) until the roast is tender and the house is fragrant with good luck. Take it out of the oven and sit the pan on a burner. Carefully remove the roast from the pot and place on a serving platter. Tent it with foil to keep it warm, then bring the pan juices up to a boil over medium high heat.

each other. Noodles are also on the menu for New Year’s resolutions. They are an ancient food that represents long life. It is important not to cut them as that is the same as cutting your life short! No, no, no, slurp them down whole to send a message to the new year you want a nice long healthy life. Serving whole chicken and fish is a similar message but it is more about the unity of the family, keeping it whole and together. (Don’t ask me how they eat that without taking it apart!) The list goes on, and it is most fascinating but today I decided to focus on that cheerful tangerine dancing the happy dance in our produce department right now. I can’t get enough of these little sweet nuggets and they loaded with good nutrition. This pot roast recipe has an Asian influence in its flavors and the use of tangerine in it makes a delightful element to the sauce. Serve with cauliflower rice, salad and fresh tangerine slices to ensure good luck and abundance on your table for the next year.
