Eating healthy for a good cause!
Formed nearly a couple of years ago, the Shanghaied Roller Dolls is a north Oregon coast flat-track roller derby league that spans Clatsop County and of late has attracted recruits or “Fresh Meat” from as far south as Manzanita and Nehalem. While it’s not the rough and tumble version of women’s roller derby on banked tracks you may remember as a kid watching TV, there’s still plenty of action and tumbles in the updated version of the sport that has made its way to the Oregon coast.
It was a full house at the Big Wave Café this past Monday evening as owners Brian and Carol Williams hosted a lowcholesterol, low-sodium, low-fat meal in conjunction with American Heart Month, with proceeds from advance ticket sales benefitting the Rinehart Clinic. In addition to making their restaurant and staff available to the Rinehart Clinic dinner, the Williams also donated the entire cost of the dinner.

New vicar at St. Catherine Episcopal looks to serve the greater community By Dave Fisher
Lent Series
The Citizen
For Patricia Millard, the new vicar at St. Catherine Episcopal Church in Manzanita, it’s all about freedom – freedom to think your own thoughts and to ask your own questions, and in looking for the “right fit,” she believes she has found it on the north Oregon coast. Millard comes to St. Catherine from Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Boring, Oregon where she served five years. She replaces Ann Fontaine, interim vicar for two years who followed Paul Barthelemy upon his retirement. Already, having

land area,” she says. “This is a very unique and interesting place. It’s interesting the impact nature has and how it interacts with the spirituality
of people who live here.” Millard was born and raised in Mexico and moved to “the states” shortly after completing high school to
attend Trinity University in San Antonia where she earned a degree in chemistry. She has dual citizenship and, being bi-lingual, she has served as a professional

Nehalem man killed in weekend accident near Hwy. 101 A fatal crash on Hwy 53 near its intersection with Hwy 101 early Saturday morning, Feb. 2, took the life of Zanoni Arizona Hartford, 36, from Nehalem. At approximately 7:40 a.m. on Saturday, Manzanita police officer Mike Sims was notified of a vehicle in the brush off Hwy 53 just north of the Hwy 101 junction. The officer went to the scene and confirmed a fatal crash occurred at the location. An Oregon State Police trooper from the Tillamook Area Command office responded to investigate. Preliminary information indicates the crash occurred at an unknown time during the early morning hours. A 1987 Honda Civic two-door driven by
Hartford was southbound on Highway 53 and, as it entered a left curve, it traveled off the highway and rolled several times. The Honda came to rest about 30 feet off the roadway in blackberry bushes and the driver was ejected. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to OSP spokesman Gregg Hastings. Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers are continuing the investigation. Manzanita Police Department, Nehalem Bay Rural Fire Department, and ODOT assisted OSP at the scene. Investigators were at the scene of a single-car accident early Saturday morning on Hwy 53 that took the life of a Nehalem man. Photo by Hal McMahon.

Ode to my KitchenAid mixer; a love poem Dear KitchenAid mixer: I am so sad that your motor conked out. You have been such a loyal steed in your bright blue jacket. We’ve made so many delicious foods together – truckloads of cookies, crates of cakes, boatloads of fruit cobblers and crisps, wheelbarrows full of truffles, pies and muffins. Yes, I have grown so attached to your sound and hopeful presence on my counter. You patiently stayed with me as I transitioned over to a grainfree lifestyle and helped me learn how to make delectable delights with coconut and almond flour.

I think it needs to be cinnamon this year. Yes, cinnamon has been known throughout history to spark the appetite in so many ways. Its spicy aroma and stimulating effects are incredibly arousing, yet relaxing all at the same time. If I was to be a spice, I would want to be cinnamon because not only is it delicious but healing too. It has been used throughout history to guard against colds, fight off the winter

chill and aide in digestion and circulation. This is the spice of life. Cinnamon is it, but I think chocolate and cinnamon is even better. How can anyone resist that combination? After all the Aztec emperor, Montezuma, loved to drink a cocoa drink from a golden goblet to give him va-va-voom for his nights with 100 virgins. Yes, I think the prefect combo for Valentine’s Day shall be created to christen the new mixer and in loving memory to you, my dear old mixer. May you rest in peace and tranquility knowing you fed a whole community (and my husband) with love♥.
Gluten free and crazy delicious, don’t reserve this cake just for Valentine’s Day. 4 oz. of high quality dark or bittersweet chocolate 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter 3/4 cup of white sugar 3 large farm fresh eggs 1/2 cup of unsweetened high quality cocoa powder 1-1/2 teaspoons of high grade cinnamon Turn up the passion by heating the oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round spring form pan and line the bottom with parchment or wax paper and then butter it. (If you only have a 9-inch pan, bake in ramekins for small servings that are easy to share. Bake for 18 minutes) Chop the chocolate into small pieces and try not to eat it all. In a small saucepan, on the stove, melt the chocolate with the butter, stirring often and until smooth as Don Quixote’s tongue. (You can also do this in the microwave. I know, but it works really well! Just microwave the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl 20 seconds at a time, stirring well between each 20 seconds, until well blended and smooth.) Remove the chocolate butter mix from the stove (or microwave) and add to your mixer. With the whisk attachment, whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture. (You can do this by hand too.) Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking the whole time and thinking about love. Sprinkle the cocoa powder and cinnamon over the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, while inhaling the warm fragrance of chocolate and cinnamon. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a thin crust has formed on the cake; don’t over cook! Remove from the oven and cool for five minutes, and then invert onto a beautiful cake plate. Dust the cake with cinnamon, cocoa powder and powdered sugar, if you dare. Serve with cinnamon whipped cream for stand up results! (Giggle.)

Calendar of Events Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper Feb. 12
St. Catherine of Alexandria Episcopal Church will host its annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 5 to 7 p.m., at the Pine Grove Community House on Laneda Ave. in Manzanita. Everyone in the communities is invited. The traditional Shrove Tuesday meal will be free of charge. A free-will offering will be taken at the door with 100 percent of the proceeds dedicated to local community outreach. Pancakes, baked eggs, sausage and orange juice will be served. Shrove Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras (“Fat Tuesday”) in French, Faschnacht (“Fast Night”) in German, and Carnevale (“Good bye, Meat”) in Italian, is the last day before Lent on the Christian calendar. Traditionally, rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, meat, and sugar were used up on Tuesday night before beginning the Lenten fast on Ash Wednesday. In all its cultural expressions, this last day before Lent is one last joyous feast of costumed revelry before the more somber season of Lent begins. St. Catherine shares this great tradition with the members of its communities in thanksgiving.
Come shop for your family and support a great cause, with all proceeds benefitting the New Discoveries Preschool, a non-profit preschool for 3 to 5-year-old children in Nehalem.

Fundraising feasibility study for new NCRD pool underway By Dave Fisher The Citizen
With the annual NCRD Pool-A-Thon fundraiser just around the corner the North County Recreation District Board of Directors finds itself dealing with a pool fundraising effort of a different sort. In January, board members sat down with fundraising consultant John Donovan, of Port-
land-based Metropolitan Group that provides strategic creative services for nonprofit organizations like NCRD, and, following a one-hour question and answer discussion, appropriated funding for a pool fundraising feasibility study. The cost of the study is $18,000. Another $25,000 was approved for fundraising campaign planning should it take place following the feasibility study.
NCRD General manager Peter Nunn sees the cost of the study as an investment. “It’s a question we must have answered,” he told members of the board at their December meeting. If the results of the study are negative suggesting that outside funding to help finance the project just isn’t there, Metropolitan, as part of its agreement with NCRD, would not pursue the fundrais-
ing campaign and thereby not charge for the additional amount. Donovan, in explaining the role Metropolitan Group would play, said it was a matter of exploring connections with other entities in Tillamook County and the north Oregon coast to “shed light on their experience in fundraising.”

Industrialize the ocean…where?
Ask Janice
Oregonians think and do things differently. This can be evidenced by our very first State goal, Oregon’s Goal 1: Citizen Involvement. When it comes to Oregon’s land use planning, rampant development of farm and forest land which threatened our natural resources and storied ‘way of life’, compelled the creation of a unique land use planning system. This program enabled local governments to plan and control land use issues with oversight by State land use goals and guidelines. We are now at a point where land use planning is being applied to the ocean, and amendments to Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan (TSP) to allow marine renewable energy companies to deploy arrays of devices off our beaches have been recently approved by Oregon’s Land Conservation Development Commission (LCDC). I must say that it has been a privilege and an honor to be involved in this historic undertaking as a citizen at large representative on the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee (TSPAC). Along with Oregon’s Ocean Planning Advisory Council (OPAC), literally thousands of man hours have been expended over the past 5 years in an attempt to get the details right. Paramount in this undertaking by OPAC and TSPAC was adherence to Goal 1: Citizen Involvement, and to Goal 19: Ocean Resources. Goal 19 states unequivocally that we give higher priority to the protection of renewable
marine resources—i.e., living of Pacific City for over 100 marine organisms (which years and being small boats also includes areas important (22’), they have limited range to fisheries)—than to the deand cannot be safely diverted velopment of non-renewable to other fishing grounds. ocean resources.

consensus through inclusion and working from a bottoms up perspective. The members of TSPAC and OPAC have devoted thousands of hours collaborating and fine tuning hundreds if not thousands of minute details to bring recommendations to LCDC. At stake here is Oregon’s long and proud tradition of open and transparent government. It seems the Staff Report takes our cherished bottoms up process and turns it upside down into a top down process. Immediately following the OPAC testimony at midday, not one question was asked of the Chair or Co-Chair of OPAC. Even worse, it was discovered 2/3 of the way through the OPAC testimony, that LCDC commissioners did not even have a copy of the OPAC transmittal letter, which was being presented, in front of them and copies were made and delivered to them. At the end of the day, when LCDC started its’ deliberative process, not one mention of the TSPAC or OPAC recommendations was made. While I would not expect LCDC commissioners to understand all of the complexities of the TSP amendment process, I would hope that such a truly momentous decision as this would warrant a basic questioning of the differences of opinion derived from its key advisory groups. It is unfortunate that this reasoned approach seemed absent this day. To me, this flies in the face of good public policy which Oregonians deserve.

Wave energy decision causes uproar regarding due process By Dave Fisher and Joe Wrabek With the recent decision by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) to keep Pacific City on the wave energy development list, the uproar it created hasn’t subsided, and this week coastal legislators were expected to meet to review the decision and the process. With a 5-1 vote, the LCDC approved on Jan. 24 the amendments to the state’s Territorial Sea Plan – including designation of a controversial site offshore of Neskowin as one of four “Renewable Energy Facility Suitability Study Areas,” or REFSSAs. County Commissioner Tim Josi, who is a member of LCDC, cast the lone no vote. Josi is the only member of the seven-member commission who is from the coast.
“I argued against it (the Pacific City/Neskowin location),” Josi said. “It’s too far away from any major port, and the likelihood of it being developed is pretty small. I thought I’d convinced at least two other commissioners to take Nestucca off the list, but it didn’t happen.” Including Pacific City/ Nestucca “was a political decision, to give the appearance of sharing the burden,” he suggested. The other REFSSA sites are all off the northern or southern Oregon coast. Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven said the Pacific City/Neskowin location was “clear down on the bottom of the list” of sites and that state officials took the recommendation and “twisted things around.” Kalkhoven, who represents coastal cities as a member of the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association board, said she was completely taken by surprise, as were other county officials, that the report along with public testimony, was largely ignored. “I never thought I would live to see the day something

Asked if his firm always said “yes” to nonprofit entities looking to fund projects, Donovan said that wasn’t the case, citing a couple of instances where Metropolitan advised its clients to essentially go back to the drawing board. “It’s a matter of asking, ‘Are you being overly ambitious?’ and ‘Is your business model workable?’” Donovan
like this would happen in Oregon,” Kalkhoven told the Citizen. The public process got turned upside down. We don’t do things that way in this state.” Still incensed about the Jan. 24 meeting, Kalkhoven brought Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Salem), Tillamook County’s representative in Congress, up to speed on LCDC’s decision when he was in Tillamook last Friday, Feb. 1 for an invitation-only meeting with city, county, port and special-district officials. “I don’t think this one is going to go away quietly… it was pretty blatant,” said Kalkohoven, though she admits the decision will likely stand. “What’s done is done.” Garibaldi Port Commissioner Kelly Barnett finds himself in agreement with Kalkhoven. “It was pretty ugly. The overwhelming testimony was to go with OPAC.” OPAC, the state’s Ocean Policy Advisory Committee, had recommended in early January removing Pacific City/Nestucca and another proposed site offshore of Netarts from consideration as wave energy develop-
told board members. “We will raise red flags.” For its part, the board previously approved the idea of building a new four-lane pool after looking at various options that included refurbishing the existing pool at an estimated cost to the district of $2.4 million or constructing a new larger six-lane pool for $5.5 million. In choosing the “middle ground,” a new four-lane pool, the board is looking at an estimated cost of $4.1 million. If the district is to be successful in its quest for funds, according to Donovan, there needs to be a strong vested local commitment in order to go outside the area for additional funding. It’s a matter, he said, of what can the local communi-

ment sites. However, when the state’s staff report was released Jan. 14, the Pacific City/Nestucca site was back on the list – this time, a list of just four proposed REFSSAs – without explanation why. LCDC voted to accept the staff report, ignoring, Barnett contended, the OPAC recommendations and public testimony from this and several other public meetings. “There was grave concern expressed by many, many people,” advised Pacific City’s David Yamamoto, one of many from Tillamook County who attended the LCDC meeting. “I’m not sure those concerns were taken into consideration.” The OPAC recommendations weren’t ever mentioned, Yamamoto said – “only the staff report.” The LCDC vote culminates an almost five-year-long effort to amend Oregon’s 1994 Territorial Sea Plan that “zoned the ocean” from the shoreline to three miles out. The original plan didn’t make any provision for wave energy devices. After the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licensed some offshore of Reedsport, that
ty accomplish, noting that there are just 3,200 people that make up the North County Recreation District. Meanwhile, Eugene architect Karl Sherwood continues to work on the conceptual design for the proposed fourlane pool. Once that is finished and the board has put its stamp of approval on it, Sherwood can begin to put together a more detailed cost analysis for the project. Following a workshop with Donovan on Feb. 1, Nunn said the district should have the results of the feasibility study by April, at which point it will go ahead with the fundraising campaign planning or rethink its strategy based on what funding appears available.

of water.” The “Pacific City/Nestucca” site offshore of Neskowin – it originally extended north to Pacific City and across the mouth of the Nestucca River – was one of 13 offshore sites desired by the energy industry for wave-energy development, Busch said. The Pacific City/Nestucca site was desirable because the ocean there has a flat, sandy bottom, Busch said, and a substation is only 500 yards away on Highway 101 with capacity to handle the load that would be generated. “Not having to build a substation is a huge advantage,” he said. What happens next? “It’s done,” Josi said. “I’m not happy with the outcome.” While the state legislature could overrule LCDC, that probably won’t happen, even though coastal legislators, who have received an earful, are expected to review the decision-making process that led to LCDC’s decision.

prompted a Memorandum of Understanding between FERC, then-governor Ted Kulongoski, and several state agencies, wherein the state agreed to amend the Territorial Sea Plan to regulate the placement of wave-energy devices. In a subsequent executive order, Kulongoski directed the state Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to do the work. The “Part 5” of the Plan, which LCDC voted to adopt Jan. 24, is the result of that work. The details of “Part 5” appear to have been relatively non-controversial. There has been little opposition to how the state would manage wave energy development in the Territorial Sea, only to where wave-energy devices would go. Jason Busch, executive director of the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) and the “industry” representative on LCDC’s Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee (TSPAC), lauded the commission’s decision – mostly. “We thought we’d get more of the ocean,” Busch said. “But two percent is still a good amount

February Writers’ Series features Seattle author
Erica Bauermeister will read from her latest book, The Lost Art of Mixing, at the Hoffman Center on Saturday, Feb. 16. A Seattlebased author, Bauermeister has published two non-fiction books and three novels. Frustrated by the lack of women authors in her university curriculum, she co-authored 500 Great Books by Women: A Reader’s Guide with Holly Smith and Jesse Larsen and Let’s Hear It For the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14 with Holly Smith. In the process Bauermeister read, literally, thousands of books, good and bad, probably one of the best educations a writer can have. Turning later to fiction, the first result was The School of Essential Ingredients. It’s about food and people and the relationships between them – about taking those “unimportant” bits of life and making them beautiful. The response the book has been a writer’s dream; the book has been published in 23 countries. Her second book, Joy for Beginners, is a book club favorite. The Lost Art of Mixing is her latest, published in January, 2013, and continues the stories begun in her first novel. A Booklist review describes the book as “Warm, funny, and deeply comforting, The Lost Art of Mixing is a delight.” Following Bauermeister’s reading and Q & A period, Open Mic, where up to nine local writers read five
The second annual North Coast Squid literary magazine will be released at the Manzanita Writers’ Series event on Feb. 16.

Matt Love, author of Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker, and Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel among others, judged nonfiction. David Biespiel, poet, poetry columnist for the Oregonian, and founder of the Attic Institute in Portland, judged poetry. Many of the writers whose work was selected will be at the Writers’ Series event to read selections at the Open Mic after our featured author’s reading. The North Coast Squid will be available for purchase at every Manzanita Writers’ Series event as well as at a number of retail outlets along the coast. Fifty percent of the $2 cover price will go to the Hoffman Center to help with operational costs that provide programs like the Manzanita Writers’ Series.

Calendar highlights local heritage Remember when the streets of Manzanita were unpaved? How about smokestacks from multiple lumber mills in Wheeler or horse-drawn wagons on the local beaches? These images, and more, are part of the 2013 calendar produced by Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT). Called “Our Heritage, Our Legacy,” LNCT has amassed an array of classic vintage images along with current photographs taken from the same point of view. The calendar is a yearly fundraising project of the Trust but this year’s project has a greater impact locally. “We see this calendar as an heirloom in many ways,” said Erich Miller, LNCT’s executive director. “I mean, how many locals have seen a photo of the entire Reed Family for whom Reed Road is named? And how many people know that Ann Morgan is a descendant of the Reed’s? It’s all in our 2013
calendar.” Local historical facts are portrayed in the calendar’s 12 months along with photographs—some unseen before. Deep research was done in the archives of local historian Mark Beach’s collection, along with searching through thousands of photos maintained in the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum’s database. “It is our hope that everyone who wants one of these calendars has a chance to purchase them while there are a few left,” said Miller. “If you stop by our office, we’ll show you our favorite part—the front and back covers held side-by-side to see what we mean by then and now.” The calendar, which originally sold for $15, has been reduced to $7.50 through the month of February and can be purchased at Manzanita News & Espresso or by calling the Trust at (503) 368-3203.

n New Vicar From page 1 translator and interpreter. She’s excited about St. Catherine’s decision five years ago to inaugurate a Spanish language service for the evergrowing Hispanic and Latino population on the Oregon coast. “It was a matter of reestablishing relationships, to look at people that are different from us as one of us, a mutual humanity,” said Millard. It was a significant move. There are few, if indeed any, churches between Tillamook and Seaside that offer Spanish language service. It is one of the reasons Millard is here. While she worked as an environmental chemist in San Antonio after graduating college, Millard, still a young adult, was coming to grips with her own spirituality. She attended seminary in San Antonio, without church sponsorship, looking to work across socio-economic and cultural differences. While she found herself “stuck inside a box” in San Antonio, a subsequent move to the Los Angeles area proved beneficial because of its diversity and where she enjoyed the freedom to think and express her own thoughts. Family needs ultimately brought her north to Oregon. “Orange County wasn’t working for my kids,” said the mother of two sons, now
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary boating course survey
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 63 is conducting a survey for local public interest in a variety of boating safety classes that will be offered this spring. Dates and times will be determined based on the number of people expressing an interest in a particular class. ‘GPS for Mariners’: This is a modern learning experience that focuses on the GPS equipment typically owned by the recreational boater. Those who already own a hand held GPS unit are invited to bring them to the class. This is a 3 hour class. ‘How to Read a Nautical Chart’: This course will provide the navigator with the knowledge to interpret a chart’s contents to navigate safely to their destination and return to port. Text and training chart is included. This is a 3-hour class. ‘Suddenly In Command’: This 4-hour boating safety primer is designed

Initially, she worked as the night chaplain for Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland before the position at Holy Cross became available. “I worked for about a year and as night chaplain it gave me an appreciation for what it takes to work a night shift.” The work in her pastoral position was often heartbreaking as she comforted patients and their families during end-of-life situations. “It was much different than a parish… it’s really about respecting where people are during a medical crisis. I found my work there so meaningful.” Now living in a rental home in Manzanita, a new chapter in her life has begun. The rental situation, she hopes, will be short term as she and her husband, who works for Tektronix, look to purchase a permanent home. “This is my primary residence.

Often a visitor to the Oregon coast, Millard recharged her spiritual batteries simply by enjoying the outdoors – hiking, kayaking and camping. Little did she know that she would one day live here. Her immediate goal is to help, what she describes as, a “self-motivated congregation” in working together for the common good. In addition, she would like to see a labyrinth on the church grounds, open to all, where visitors can walk as they contemplate and deal with spiritual questions. In the meantime, she extends an invitation to all to attend services at St. Catherine. “You’re welcome, no matter who you are. This church really means it, it’s authentic, and it’s what St. Catherine is all about. We value each other simply as people, above one’s religious and political views. “I believe I can make a contribution that really helps make a difference. I have a huge heart for serving the needs of the community.”

Community waste audit leads to new changes on CARTM’s recycling line When CARTM opens its doors on Thursday, Feb. 7, recyclers will find two things: the recycling line has changed and there will be plenty of people ready to help explain the changes. The changes on the CARTM recycling line are the result the community waste audit conducted at CARTM last fall. The north Tillamook County community fills approximately 52 dumpsters of waste per year. CARTM chose to audit one full dumpster, after tourist season, to get a snapshot of what is in the trash. Staff and volunteers sorted every piece of trash in the dumpster into 15 categories. Information gleaned from the audit helped support CARTM in decisions about what changes to make, what services to add and what kind of support to offer the community. Among other things, the audit revealed that an impressive 92 percent of what was thrown away was actually trash and only an additional 8 percent could have been recycled at CARTM. These percentages were heartening to CARTM’s board and staff as a result of its zero waste missiondriven operation. With this information, CARTM continues to seek ways to recycle, re-use or compost the material that is currently defined as trash, such as food waste and construction debris. In the short term, CARTM rolled up its sleeves to address the 8 percent that could have been recycled. It was no surprise that the content of that 8 percent recyclable waste in the audit was predominantly made up of paper and plastic. As with trends in all current commodities markets, the end uses of paper and plastic are continually changing along with the technology to recycle them. These changes reflect what is happening in
our culture. “People are reading newspapers less,” said Jan Hamilton, CARTM’s executive director, “so newspaper is not longer being recycled to make more newspaper. Instead, this category now includes magazines and paperback books because it is a commodity that is now also used to make other things like packaging. “Recycling is evolving at a rapid pace. Our community has a very strong recycling ethic and they count on CARTM to keep in front of the curve. One thing is certain, recycling will continue to evolve with the markets and we will have to change with it. It will require continual re-learning and re-thinking for all of us.” According to Hamilton, these recycling changes not only make individual commodities more valuable, thereby assisting CARTM’s financial sustainability, but in turn refine consumer choices and habits. “Like our sign says, what goes around comes around,” she said.
Above: CARTM staff member Jonathan Feder sorts trash from the dumpster into 15 different categories to determine what the community throws away. Photos by Gary Seelig.
Changes In The Line Beginning February 7, recyclers will find that paper products will now be separated differently. Items that were previously put in a bin marked “grayboard” will now be placed in four other paper categories: cardboard; newspaper/magazine; and two new categories: high-value paper and low-value paper. Sample contents for these bins will be placed near the receptacles with lists and three-dimensional examples of what is acceptable in each category. Recyclers are encouraged to allow extra time for recycling for the next few weeks while learning the sort. “We believe our customers are the most skilled recyclers in the Pacific Northwest,” said Hamilton. “And we also know that change can be stressful, so we are making sure we have plenty of support people on site to help our community learn the new sort.” Information about how to sort your recyclables at CARTM can be found on CARTM’s new website: www.cartm.org.
High-value paper will be one of the two new sort categories at CARTM beginning February 7. Due to changes in recycling technology, high-value paper can include bindings, envelopes with glassine windows and more.
Left: Low-value paper is one of the two new sort categories at CARTM. This new sort includes asceptic containers, neon color paper, egg cartons and paper cups and plates with no food residue.

Derby From page 1
A nonprofit organization, the mission is to empower women of all shapes and sizes, ethnicity, job status, and skills to be braver, kinder, smarter, healthier, stronger, more accepting, and embrace their inner being while having fun. “We’re daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, and friends,” the bout program states. “Big, small, and bad a--, we are Derby Girls.” “It’s not the brutal spot it once was,” said Shelly Imholt, a resident of Nehalem who joined the “Dolls” in May last year. “There are lots of rules and more pads.” Imholt is one of those who remember the hairpulling, elbow-in-the-face of days gone by when roller derby resembled a wrestling match. Now, says, Imholt, it is more refined, more like football. “It’s definitely still a contact sport,” she concedes. Imholt was on hand at a bout in mid January at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds in Astoria, joined by three others from the Nehalem Bay area who got hooked on the sport – Dawn Ahlers,
Keri Scott and her husband Mike Sims. Fresh Meat recruits Scott and Ahlers have been on board almost six months and look forward to being full-fledged members of the Dolls by the end of February upon completing their third and final skills test. To be drafted, Fresh Meat enlistees must successfully complete three different skill levels before they can competitively skate with the other Dolls on the track, Scott explained. In the meantime the girls train at least twice a week and at the recent bout they were visible in the infield of the track helping keep time and tracking penalties. Sims, a Manzanita police officer, volunteered to become a referee after attending a bout with his wife. Sims likens his role as a referee to his day job in Manzanita, making sure everyone follows the rules. However, he admits, it’s much more enjoyable working with the Dolls than pulling someone over in his patrol car and issuing a traffic citation. “It’s a great extracurricular activity and an opportunity to get involved with the team. The girls have a great attitude and sense of sportsmanship,” said Sims. Currently, almost 20 women participate in rigorous practices three times a

Ahlers, who has been involved with sports going back to her high school days, loves it. “It’s awesome being around the other girls. It’s like a family. It’s a great way to hang out and relieve stress and, of course, there’s the
exercise element,” she said. Ahlers, who works at a Starbucks in Seaside, was tipped off about the Dolls when one of her customers came in limping, a slightly injured roller derby participant. Upon learning about the woman’s injury and more about the roller derby league in Astoria, Ahlers, instead of being turned off by the physical nature of the sport, embraced the idea of becoming involved herself.
Scott agrees wholeheartedly with her friend. “It is like being part of a family, I love it. The other women are so supportive. In roller derby they immediately embrace you. The comradery is great,” said Scott, who, like Ahlers, is in her mid-30s. Imholt, at 43, considers herself an old timer of sorts. Skating since she was a child, Imholt sees herself as more of “referee material” rather than a derby girl,
although she enjoys the sport for all the reasons the other girls do. “At my age it’s important to keep an eye on not injuring yourself,” she said, noting most of the Dolls are in their 30s, although recruits can be as young as 18. Eventually, the local foursome would like to see a team formed in Tillamook County and the interest appears to be there, as a handful of locals made up the audience of nearly 300 people that attended the January bout. The thought of a local roller derby team is music to the ears of “Kill Shot” Scott, “Rage-a-Latte” Ahlers, “Chaos & Control” Imholt and “Eric Shawn” Sims. While the league recently gained membership into the U.S. Roller Sports Association (USARS), the next step is membership into the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the governing body for the flat track sport. In embracing the empowerment of women, the Shanghaied Roller Dolls look to raise money for local women’s charities. It’s a lofty and noble cause for the women involved in a sport that most agree is a real hoot, whether you’re a participant or a member of the fan base.
