anuary 2016 ended with a celebration of the completion of the fourth class of Tillamook County Master Recyclers. Five new students earned the title of Master Recycler, joining the previous 11 graduates. “Our county now has 16 people they can go to with recycling questions and concerns,” said Sue Owens, Tillamook County Education and Outreach Specialist who shares that Master Recyclers have come from all areas of the County. “I’m excited to see people in our communities take an interest in this important subject and then take their newfound knowledge home with them, to their families, friends, workplaces and neighborhoods.” Anne Osborne Coopersmith, John Goertzen, Linda Kozlowski, Wendy Ryan, and Brian Wilson all completed the course in January. “I would encourage you to congratulate these people on their achievement and visit with them about they have learned during the course,” Owens said. Students of the program learn to minimize the impacts of materials and learn strategies that encourage thoughtful consumption, the reduction of toxins and the recovery of our material resources. Aspects relating to local recycling efforts are also emphasized. The class is taught by David McCall, Tillamook County Solid Waste Program Manager, Owens, and a number of local and out-of-

Lower Nehalem Commuinity Trust welcomes new board members
Lower Nehalem Community Trust is proud to welcome Dan Carroll and Jim Pendergrass as members of the Board of Directors. These two individuals join the board at an exciting time, and will be invaluable guiding LNCT in its ongoing mission to preserve land and nurture conservation values in partnership with an engaged community in the Nehalem region of the Oregon Coast. A resident of Nehalem, Dan Carroll is co-founder of Nehalem Valley Naturals, an organic farm. About his joining the board, Dan said, “I started working on behalf of wetlands conservation organizations 30 years ago at the age of 21. As an avid water fowler spending at least 25 days each year in marshes around the country, I have seen firsthand the effects of wetlands loss on not only waterfowl, but also on all of the species that rely on these dwindling habitats. Like my camp sites, I would like to leave this world in better
shape than when I found it.” Jim Pendergrass is a retired banker with Wells Fargo, and has been active in land trust and watershed council work around the state for over twenty years. He joins LNCT’s board of directors as Treasurer. Jim knows the preservation of special lands and restoration of watershed environments is part of what makes Oregon such a great place to live, that LNCT is a unique organization, and Alder Creek Farm a particular jewel. “I’ve worked with watershed organizations around Oregon for a long time,” said Jim on joining the board. “And I know that preserving and restoring key watershed lands is an important part of maintaining healthy fish and bird populations in the Nehalem system. The Trust’s commitment to that and its work at Alder Creek Farm to provide garden produce to the local food bank are efforts I’m excited to be a part of.” Their influence and as-

Fish and clams that I have known and loved! W
ith not much more to do, I spent a rainy day looking out at the bay and the ocean and did some day dreaming. Maybe it was a disappointing dinner in a restaurant a few weeks ago is what sparked these thoughts about the proper cooking of sea food and other innovations that I have enjoyed in the past. Growing up just a short distance from Puget Sound in Washington and then spending my last quarter century plus looking at salt water from my front window partly qualifies me as a seafood expert. Everyone that I know enjoys both salmon and halibut and particularly if it has been properly prepared and cooked. Other than when used in soup or chowder, it really needs to be cooked quickly and served immediately. A salmon filet fried in butter with a dash of “Johnnies Dock” seasoning is delicious I have prepared salmon on a

to cook them. All heat will do, not for them, but rather to them, is make them tough and leathery.” Another disappointment was the time I ordered the “Captains Plate” that included four different kinds of sea food. Unfortunately they were all deep fried and while not too bad they all tasted about the same. For many years we had a group of former fellow employees come down to our place and had a reunion that started out as a three day affair but dwindled to an overnighter in the later years. One of the features over the years was the cooking on a grill over charcoal coals and enjoying of several bushels of oysters. The place where I bought them is long gone but I learned something that few people know. When storing oysters for any length of time they should never be covered with ice. The reason is that the extreme cold kills them and they start to deteriorate. A wet gunny sack and
a scoop of ice on it is all that is needed in a cooler. One of those little morsels dipped in butter is a great treat for lots of people while others shudder at the thought of eating one. A taste that I acquired when I was just a young man working in the fish canneries in Alaska was pickled herring. Later in life I found out that eating them smoked was a treat.. Right here in Nehalem bay we have a tasty item that few people know about. That would be the Eastern soft shell clams. They are a bit of a challenge to dig and cleaning them is tedious but the result is a clam that tastes much like the Razor clam and they should always be cooked quickly in the manner described above.. I guess that is all that I can think about this subject but the message is to remember that when preparing or thinking about sea food to always “KEEP CLAM!

work ethic, which started very early in life, when he lied about his age to get his first job at a Santa Barbara movie theater working alongside his big brother. Later he worked for the Oregon State Forestry as a Fire Warden and at Oceanside Lumber Yard. Also, as a second job on Saturdays, he was responsible for cleaning the inside of the now famous Garibaldi O&W smoke stack that still stands today. After short stints as a dump truck and school bus driver Frank found his true calling when he and Phyllis bought Manzanita Lumber in 1963. Frank built a very successful business not only based on being an honest merchant but also by building the trust of his community as a man of integrity. He was so trusted in the area that the lumberyard became, and always has been, a hub for the community. It was not uncom-
mon for folks to leave their house keys on the board in Frank’s office “just in case” because they knew he and his crew would take care of their homes, mail, or whatever was needed if anything should happen in their absence. Frank Stephens was a revered community steward, volunteer, and neighbor who always went out of his way to help anybody in need, a tradition that is carried on today by his son David and all of the family and friends who come to the yard everyday just to say hello and check in. Frank’s good works didn’t stop at the lumberyard though. He was also a Mason, a Shriner, an Elk, a volunteer fireman, Manzanita Citizen of the Year, and a Tillamook Futures Council Award recipient. He believed in helping his community and raised his family and extended family to share the same values; to have a

news coverage continues, with added threats of further bombings and of fires fed by the Santa Ana winds. In the apartment, as the characters move between attraction and suspicion, Reed mixes psychological character development with constant suspense. I so often tell myself as I read books in the evening, “Okay, end of next chapter, time for bed.” With Olivay, I kept saying that but then Reed would throw me another curve ball that kept me turning the page. Our understanding of each character and their motivations builds slowly. In fact, there is this overall slow, dreamlike, sense of waiting to discover more, just at the characters are in this otherworldly waiting zone with the crisis developing outside the apartment. As a person who lives in a
tsunami zone where Emergency Preparedness is a big issue, I found this depiction of life after a catastrophe even more fascinating and cautionary. If you are the kind of reader who likes everything to wrap up neatly at the end, you might find your reading boundaries stretched with Olivay. I’m actually not one to pick up this kind of book, not normally a thriller reader. I picked this one up because Deborah spent her last week writing to deadline, writing in my house. Okay, I admit I was thrilled that she added a character in the book named Mrs. Hightower (not at all like me), but that isn’t why I couldn’t put the book down. It’s the kind of book that has you thinking about it long after you turn the last page.

Cloud & Leaf bookstore in Manzanita. Reed moved the venue of her story to Los Angeles. She tells the story from two perspectives. Olivay, widowed for a year and sleepwalking through life, meets Henry by chance and takes him to her Los Angeles loft. Trapped together in the lockdown following the bombing, she’s stuck wondering who this man really is as she catches him in lie after lie. Is he connected to the bombing, and even possibly to her husband’s death? Henry’s perspective is told in flashbacks to a time he was in the Peace Corps in the Central African Republic, leading up to an event that changed his life. The two watch scenes of destruction, chaos, and horror playing out on television as

North Tillamook Library reopens with community celebration set March 12 After six weeks of closure North Tillamook Library in Manzanita reopened Saturday, February 27. The community is invited to celebrate the reopening on Saturday, March 12, 3 to 5 p.m. at the library. “This is our way of saying thank you to our patrons who were so supportive and patient, making do without their library,” said Kay Stepp, North Tillamook Library Board president. “The party will offer the opportunity to thank our donors, Friends and local contractors who made this major project possible.” The library closed January 13 for major repairs, including leveling the floors, installing new carpeting, upgrading and replacing lighting and heaters, painting through-
out, and repurposing the Hoffman Room to accommodate educational programs and technology use. Patrons will also enjoy new reading lounge furniture funded by the recent Library Lovers’ Dinner. Lee Hiltenbrand, NTL board member and renovation project manager remarked that, “the cooperation and competence of an outstanding group of contractors allowed us to complete the renovation on time and on budget.” The party will begin at 3 p.m. with music provided by the Oregon Old Time Fiddlers. “This entire project was sparked by the bequest we received from the estate of Linda Anne Easley in 2014,” said Stepp. “We learned that Ms. Easley, a Multnomah County librarian, was also a passionate
fiddler and invited other fiddlers to play with her at her home in Manzanita. Her friends offered to play for our celebration. Even though Ms. Easley cannot be with us, we will begin the celebration with the music she loved just as her gift began the renovation.” A short program will pay tribute to other organizations and individuals whose support made the renovation possible, including the Oregon Cultural Trust, The Ford Family Foundation, the Samuel S. Johnson Foundation and Tillamook County Library. Aili Schreiner, manager of the Oregon Cultural Trust, and Sara Charlton, executive director of the Tillamook County Library will offer comments. Refreshments will be served. “In addition, we want

to recognize the tremendous financial support we received from the community,” added Stepp. “In 2015 and 2016 NTL
Friends, citizens and visitors made donations, purchased raffle and dinner tickets and bought used library furniture to provide
more than $19,000 for the renovation. This demonstrates the deep commitment our community has for their library.”

Prospectors sink Lady Pirates in John Day By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net
The longest Pirate voyage of the season ended Friday with Neah-Kah-Nie running aground in the mountains of Central Oregon. Less than a week after the Lady Pirates pounded undefeated Vernonia in a first half scoring explosion, the opposite happened in John Day, with the Prospectors claiming an easy 47-13 win in front of a home crowd. For the Pirates, it was a 720-mile round trip to end the season far from home. The win earned Grant Union a berth in the elite eight playoffs at Pendleton and will open against a familiar foe, top-ranked Burns.
Neah-Kah-Nie playoff dreams scuttled, 47-13
It was the defense that stifled and stymied the Pirates in the first half. Sixth-ranked Grant Union took an 11-4 first quarter lead before shutting down the Pirates completely. Caitlyn Scull scored all of the Pirates’ first-quarter points. The Pirates were held scoreless in the second quarter, falling behind 26-4 at halftime. The Prospectors kept up the pressure in the third quarter with an 14-4 run, giving the hosts a 40-8 lead going into the final quarter.
Pirate seniors Annie Romig and Alaina Holm hit the Prospectors with the final five Pirate points in the game in the final quarter. The loss ended the Neah-Kah-Nie season with a 14-10 record. “It was a tough game,” he told a reporter after the game, adding his team “battled hard and never gave up.” He also praised Prospector sophomore Kori Pentzer who helped Grant Union get off to a fast start. “She’s a talented player, surrounded by a lot of other talented players,” he said. The victory moves the underclass-dom-
inated Prospectors back into a showdown with Wapiti League rival Burns in the opening round of the 2A basketball tournament in the Pendleton Convention Center. Only two of the Lady Pros are seniors.
Northwest teams wiped out The other Northwest teams in the state playoffs were also ousted in the first round. Vernonia was upset by visiting Bonanza in Saturday’s first-round playoff game, 60-58. Faith Bible was bounced Friday evening at Western Mennonite, 56-16. (Editor’s note: Information from Blue Mountain Eagle newspaper was used in the story.)

Pirates make big impression at state Neah-Kah-Nie wrestlers place ahead of Nestucca By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net The Pirates came up with a big finish Saturday, grabbing a pair of thirds in the final two weights to place 11th in the state wrestling championships at Portland’s Memorial Coliseum. Freshman Tristan Bennett was the first, coming back in the consolation bracket to claim third place by fall (:45) over Samuel Williams of Crane in the 220-pound competition. The victory gave the
Pirate a 43-4 record for the season in his first season of high school wrestling. The Pirates picked up another third with Anthony Ramirez in the 285-pound competition. Ramirez won by fall (4:38) over Brendon Johnson of Gilchrist. The tandem of thirds helped Neah-Kah-Nie defeat rival Nestucca in the final team scores. Bobcats get a third The Bobcats placed 13th as a team with 24 points. Jordan Whittles finished the year with a 31-8 record
with his 11-1 major decision win over Union/Cove’s Wyatt Hostetler in the third place match Saturday. Culver dominated the 2A/1A competition with 157 points, followed by Lowell (second, 99.5 points), Central Linn (third, 62 points), Myrtle Point (fourth, 52.5) and Monroe (fifth, 48.5). 1A power Pine Eagle and Union/Cove shared sixth place Saturday with 41 points each, while Riddle (eighth, 40 points), Heppner (ninth, 36 points) and Crane (10th, 30 points) closed out the top ten teams.

T
he Year of Wellness (YOW) in Tillamook County is in full tilt boogie right now and picking up speed. Next month’s focus for The Year of Wellness is nutrition and so the YOW team is bringing an amazing speaker, Dr. Miles Hassell from Portland, to our area to get us all inspired. This free event will be on March 11th from 11 am to 2 pm at Fresh! Café and Market in Bay City and requires reservations. Dr. Hassell is an internist that believes good food is great medicine. In fact, that is the title of the book he co-authored with his sister, “Good Food, Great Medicine, a homemade cookbook, recipes and ruminations from a medical practice.” Their book is a very well written and a highly entertaining read, which I recommend for anyone. If you haven’t quite found the inspiration to get on the bandwagon for YOW yet, this book and/or event will do it. I can tell I am going to
love meeting this guy cause he talks my language, whole foods. Dr. Hassell stresses that eating whole foods, and mostly vegetables and fruit, combined with exercise and good sleep patterns are the way to radiant health. It’s simple, attainable and at everyone’s fingertips. He says that eating whole foods not only reduces risk, but can actually reverse disease. For example, Dr. Hassell says if someone already has heart disease that they can reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events, like a heart attack, by 70 percent or more with diet alone and 60 percent or more with exercise. “That’s better than we see from our best medical procedures and drugs!” he continued “And we find the combination of conventional medicine and foods and exercise to give even better results.” One of the other things I love about this guy is that he is an advocate for having raw nuts, caffeine, aged cheese, real butter and dark chocolate in our diet in moderation. (He had me at dark chocolate.) One of his chapters is “Fat is good, bagels are bad.” I tell you this guy is spot on and going to be right here in our county to talk to us. (Bunny hop!) This special event requires a reservation so call Stacie at 503-812-2062 for your spot, which includes a free healthy lunch. The day after that, on March 12 from 10am to 1pm, I will be teaching a free cooking class in conjunction with recipes from his book at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. It will be an inspirational class on basic cooking to get you in the kitchen, then we will munch on what we made. Call Laura Swanson at 503-939-5416 or email her at laura@nehalemtel.net for reservations. I’ll see you there!

Hassell’s Red Wine Beef or Venison
Here is a recipe from Dr Hassel’s book, spiced up a bit by me. To reduce prep time, I’ve been known to leave out the step of browning the meat. It shortens the prep time but does not compromise on the flavor too much. The bacon is one of my additions as it adds so much flavor and is just a wee little bit of bad.

Heat up your olive oil in a heavy dutch oven you could knock a bear out with (Or a heavy bottomed soup pot) and cook the bacon chunks over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the bacon is fragrant and lightly browned. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate with a paper towel on it and blot off the excess fat. While the bacon is cooking, lay your venison cubes out on a cutting board and dry them with a paper towel, (no I’m not crazy, this makes the meat brown better) .

the cubes in the bacon fat/oil mix in small batches of a single layer of meat for 3-5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the meat with your slotted spoon when browned to a bowl and finish searing the rest. (If you need more oil, add a TBLS or 2 when you need it) After the meat is done, toss in the carrots, garlic and onions and cook for 10 minutes or so stirring occasionally until the onions are lightly browned. Add the meat and bacon back to the stew pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Turn off the burner and stir the pot till everything gets to know each other. (This step can be done the night before and stored in the fridge till you are ready to cook it) Place the pot into the middle of the oven and stand back and let magic happen. Cook for two hours while the house fills with the most amazing scent that will bring people off the streets. Carefully take out of the oven after two hours, taste and adjust the seasonings, then serve with a salad.

ometimes, it may be just a chance to talk. Other times, it may mean breaking out the yoga mat to help her clients. Either way, Holly Evans Smith is building her business Rolling Wave Silver Services in Manzanita with an effort to make people feel better. The licensed marriage and family therapist also is a registered yoga teacher. She has found a use for both the training and skill sets since she began working in Tillamook County’s northernmost city. On Thursday, she spends about 90 minutes at the Center for Contemplative Arts in Manzanita where she instructs the Silver Services yoga class. “It incorporates the community,” she said, stressing her focus on the entire person. “It is not a drop-in where I don’t know how many people are coming. People check-in. In everything I do, I am looking through an integral lens, incorporating all aspects of the person. When we are done, we have some tea and chat.” In many ways, medical care and counseling have become fragmented,
