Friends of North County Recreation District found more bulbs!

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Ever seen Patty’s garage? Well, if you have you will understand how this happened. While some of the Friend’s group was digging around for vases this past week, they found some tulip and daffodil bulbs hidden in banana boxes. The banana boxes are a long story, and we don’t need to get into that here.
It’s not too late to plant bulbs for the spring so let me tell you about the treasures we found.
Delnashaugh, Erlicheer, and Queen’s Day are all Double Daffodils. Delnashaugh is a double creamy white bloom enriched by fluffy peach-pink segments. Erlicheer is a sweetly scented double daffodil that bears 6-12 small white flowers on each stem. Queen’s Day is a double yellow named for the Dutch Holiday. This is a sunny, beautifully shaped flower. Price: All three are 5/$10 (Delnashaugh has 5 units left, Ericheer has 6 units left, and Queens Day has 8 units left).
Friends’ selection of what are called Uncommon Daffodils includes Pipe Major and Poeticus Recurvus. Easy on the eye, the Pipe Major has yellow petals with an orange center -blooming a little later than most daffodils. Poeticus Recurvus, which translates into Pheasant’s Eye. A stunning flower with white petals and a yellow cup ringed with red. Price: Both are 5/$10 (Poeticus Recurvus has 5 units left and Pipe Major as 12 units left).
Sailboat comes to you as a Miniature Daffodil, having 1-3 flowers per stem. It got its name from its white swept back petals. Price: 10/$10 (only 3 units left).
Thanks to many of you who purchased Paper Whites in the past couple of days we have only 12 units of those. Price is 5/$10. And we will also pot Paper Whites for you in holiday type or plain containers.
We have just a few Amaryllis left for sale. One-Double Dream Amaryllis which has reddish pink blooms with white highlights making an unusual and beautiful display. We start your Amaryllis for you using the proper medium and get them growing before we hand them off. They come with growing instructions. Warm up your world with the Horizon Amaryllis. You will think you have awakened in a tropical destination. We have three Horizon Amaryllis. These are very large amaryllis bulbs which sell for $40 planted.
All the above make great gifts. You will be so happy in the spring if you get our tulips and daffodils planted now. Thank you to all who have participated in our bulb sale this fall and we hope to see a few more of you as customers in the next few days.
Call Patty to place your order 503-368-6081. We will have your order taken to NCRD in Nehalem the next day.

It is almost time to plant if want them blooming around Christmas.
To order the units of 5/$10 bulbs or planted bulbs call Patty at 503-368-6081 and she will get back to you. Instructions for planting are below.

Paperwhites-Storing, Planting, Growing

Among indoor-flowering bulbs, none is more popular than paperwhites. They produce dense clusters of fragrant flowers indoors in fall and winter with minor special treatment. Allow 5-6 weeks from planting to bloom; for flowers at Christmas, plant by November 10. Bulbs can be started at intervals to provide color and fragrance until after Easter. Store paperwhites in refrigerator until ready to plant.

1. Put a 2-to-3-inch layer of pea stone, marbles, or decorative stones in a shallow, watertight container. A clear glass one will give you a good view of how the roots are developing. If using soil, fill a pot 1/2 full of potting soil or a soil-less mix.
2. Place bulbs in pointy-end up. They can be close together, almost touching. No more than 1 inch apart is best.
3. Anchor the bulbs with soil or more pebbles, leaving the top third of the bulbs exposed.
4. Water those in soil thoroughly to settle them in and then about once a week after that or as needed to keep them evenly moist. For the pebble planted ones, add water to the container until it is just below the bottom of the bulbs. If they sit in water, they will rot. Add more water as needed.
5. Place them in a dark, cool location, around 50 to 60°F. If kept too warm they may not flower well, producing spindly plants.
6. Watch for rooting. This is easier to see in the pebble-planted ones, especially those in a clear glass container. In the soil planted pots, look for roots poking out of the pot’s drainage holes. It takes about 3 weeks after planting for roots to form.
7. Move the pots of rooted bulbs to a sunny, bright spot with relatively cool temperatures (60-65°F). They should start to bloom 3 to 4 weeks later. If they don’t get enough light as they start to grow, the plants will be leggy and have a hard time holding up their blossoms. As the plants grow, turn the pot every few days to keep the foliage growing straight. Give them some sticks for support.
Paperwhites will bloom for about 14 days and perhaps longer if conditions are favorable. As discussed above, they need bright light but don’t like direct light, which will cause them to burn or dry up. Water only when the top 1 inch of their soil begins to feel dry to your touch. Do not fertilize paperwhites. Paperwhites do not hold over for the next year. Best to dispose of them in compost pile.

Mayerle for Manzanita: The Cows are in the Barn

Submitted By: mayerleformanzanita@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I hope you woke up this morning and noticed fewer signs on our streets. I decided to take my campaign signs down, not out of lack of commitment, but out of respect. The signs have been up for two months, and I am sure they are an eyesore. They have done their work, as have I!

Another reason I took them down is that this past week, someone has been removing and discarding my signs—about 1/3 of them went missing. I’m afraid the signs will end up as litter in our forests, waterways, or our parks (which is where some of the stolen ones have shown up). I don’t believe another two days of looking at them is going to change anyone’s mind when it comes to voting for Manzanita City Council. So, as they say, “The cows are in the barn.”

If I happened to miss one of the signs and you still have one in your yard, please text or call 503-260-4105 and I will swing by to pick it up.

It’s time for the campaigning keyboards to quiet, the airwaves to calm, and the signs to be gone. It’s time to move forward, to vote, and to get to work for Manzanita.

Charles McNeilly’s Statement to Undecided Vovers in Rockaway Beach

Submitted By: michael.s.weissenfluh@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m Charles McNeilly and I am running to be your Mayor. Are you undecided? Let me tell you about Cindy Kay Gregory and me.
I first met Cindy Kay Gregory when she was out gathering signatures to get on the ballot as a candidate for Councilor. Our paths crossed next at a City Council meeting. I quickly learned that Cindy Kay was running for the same reasons I am – to provide increased opportunities for residents and merchants to be heard. We want to build lines of communication between elements of our community and all aspects of city government.
We want Rockaway Beach to meet our challenges and build a vibrant community collaboratively. We want to foster trust within and between individuals and city government. If you are undecided, consider what Cindy Kay and I have done during our campaigns to demonstrate our commitment to these objectives.
We’ve walked the streets of Rockaway Beach and knocked on doors; posted answers to key questions on Tillamook Pioneer; participated in the Candidate Forum; answered your questions on MooVoter, and Facebook; we hosted two well attended Listening Sessions – giving residents a chance to weigh in on critical issues facing Rockaway Beach; and we’ve published our contact information for you to reach out to us directly. We have actively engaged with you, the residents of Rockaway Beach, during the campaign to learn what matters most to you.
Now, it is up to you!
Vote for Cindy Kay Gregory for Councilor and Charles McNeilly for Mayor, your listening candidates, so that as a community of equals we can come together collaboratively and move forward to dream and chart the glory days ahead.

GREAT chance to save $$ on gallon jugs real maple syrup (restaurants?)

Submitted By: jwmerc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi folks – Jeff the “honey and maple syrup guy” here – my current brand of real Vermont maple syrup is going to be changed out post-haste – and replaced with another (or two – which won’t be any less expensive) – so I have some large containers of real maple syrup to sell! This could be a great chance for a restaurant or bakery to save a few bucks on the very best Vermont has to offer (or for someone who wants to give out some REALLY impressive holiday gifts!)
I have SIX full gallons of syrup in classic white “jug” (yes – BPA-free food grade) – $70 per jug while they last – or you can take two for $130 – or THREE for $180.
There are EIGHT of the half-gallon jars in glass (all amber-rich grade – the middle one) – normally $45 each – contact me if you want to get a bunch.
CASH or your good check preferred – I am doing deliveries on WEDNESDAY of this coming week – pretty much full but I can bring some of these jugs with me. Text: 208-424-0042 – e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com or via message through the JW Merc Facebook page – thanks for thinking about it….jw

‘Cozy Mystery’ Author Ellie Alexander to Speak at Cannon Beach Library

Submitted By: nmccarthy1276@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Mystery author Ellie Alexander likes to bake. It’s no surprise, then, that her Bakeshop mystery series includes the titles, “Muffin But the Truth,” “Donut Disturb” and “Nothing Bundt Trouble.”
Alexander will discuss her books – and maybe offer a recipe – when she visits the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Nov. 12. This is a hybrid event; the presentation can be viewed in person at the library or online: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The event is also a part of WOW! Weekend, a three-day festival in Cannon Beach featuring local vendors, artists, speakers and performers. All library events are free and open to the public.
In addition to the Bakeshop series, Alexander’s cozy mysteries include the Sloan Krause mysteries, the Pacific Northwest and Rose City mystery series and several stand-alone novellas and collaborations.
Alexander notes that the Pacific Northwest is a backdrop for every book, and the location “almost becomes another character in each series.”
Her books feature charming small towns, idyllic settings, delicious foods and drinks and lovable characters (and sometimes, even murder).
A voracious storyteller, Alexander says her goal is to “tell stories that provide points of connection, escape and understanding.”
Alexander has published over 30 books in hardcover, mass-market paperback, e-book, audio, and Japanese. Her writing has appeared in regional and international publications including Climbing Magazine, Women’s World, Buzz Feed, The Oregonian and Portland Family Magazine. She also teaches classes and workshops on writing and marketing.
The event is offered by the NW Authors Series, a committee of the Cannon Beach Library that sponsors monthly author talks and other events from September through May.
