Election results certified by county clerk Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

T

illamook County Clerk Tassi O’Neil provided an election update during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Nov. 25. As of Monday, Nov. 23, O’Neil has certified the election results.

The Tillamook County’s website is updated to show the final results.

“We ended up in Tillamook County at 82.31 percent, having a total number of registered voters of 20,707 of those, 17,044 voted,” O’Neil said.

Several cities races were

Mike Scott

close. The numbers that are certified are the correct numbers.

“Our ballot machine is an amazing machine,” O’Neil

Hans Tonjes

said.

Tillamook Councilor, Ward 5 had a three way tie between Tony McGarvey, Jim Carpenter and Ryan Sisco. There was

Jerry Spegman a tiebreaker later in the afternoon of Nov. 25. O’Neil told the Headlight Herald Friday, Nov. 27, that Carpenter was the winner.

O’Neil said the City of

Tillamook has to certify back to the clerk’s office all the winners for all positions on the November ballot. With that certification, they need to indicate that the candidates are qualified to hold the positions.

“By law, I have to do an automatic recount in accordance with a statute that was put in place several years ago,” O’Neil said.

Bay City Mayor David McCall read a proclamation to O’Neil and her staff. The city declared the proclamation during a city council meeting Nov. 10 that recognized the Tillamook County Clerk’s Office and their work in con-

“That means more to me than you know and I know for my staff as well,” O’Neal said.

Commission Chair Bill Baertlein thanked the City of Bay City for stepping up and making the proclamation.

The show features works by Kyla Sjogren, Lisa Sofia, Barbara Temple Ayres and Jan Priddy.

Fiber Arts by Kyla Sjogren “My textiles begin with a seed in the ground or a lamb being born. Each

produce a strong fiber long enough to spin into a yarn. Simultaneously, a plant will grow to dye the yarn. I spin and dye the yarn, then wind it onto a tensioned warping board. One by one, I thread the yarn through my loom. Closing my eyes I feel the yarn for even tension and adjust the harnesses to weave a pattern. This is my time to meditate and think. Each woven piece captures this moment. Textiles hold memories we bring into our future.

Making these quilted compositions with my handwoven pieces, the story evolves,

added to by the viewer’s own interpretation and interaction with the textile.”

“Controlled Chaos” Paintings by Lisa Sofia “My mind is a puzzle which I can’t truly comprehend. The world around me is in continued movement, not stationary, never satisfied. It distracts me from delving into the depths of what I want, what I

ith COVID-19 cases increasing In Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown on Wednesday, Nov. 25, announces that strict health and safety measures will likely need to be in place for at least 21 counties found to be at extreme risk for COVID-19 spread following the two-week freeze, which ends Wednesday, Dec. 2. On Monday, Nov. 30, the Oregon Health Authority reexamined county data to determine which counties qualify for each

risk level following the two-week freeze. The Tillamook County Community Health Centers stated on Nov. 25. “Effective Dec. 3, the county will be able to reopen under limited capacity.”

On Tuesday, Dec. 1, Tillamook County was moved to ‘moderate risk.’

Some of the measures for moderate risk include: social indoor gathering size is max of eight people, recommended limit is two households; outdoor social gathering size is a max of 10 people; indoor dining is available at 50 percent capacity, with an 11 p.m. close time; indoor recreation and fitness establishments have a maximum 50 percent capacity or 100 total people (whichever is smaller); indoor entertainment establishments, such as indoor theaters and museums, have a maximum 50 percent capacity or 100 total people; retail stores,

such as grocery stores, as well as indoor and outdoor shopping centers and malls have a maximum 75 percent capacity and encourage curbside pickup; faith institutions, funeral homes, mortuaries and cemeteries have an indoor max of 50 percent capacity or 150 total and 250 outdoor; offices are recommended to allow remote work if able; outdoor recreation and fitness establishments, such as parks and hiking trails, as well as outdoor entertainment establishments, such as outdoor gardens and aquariums, have a 150 max capacity; personal services, such as salons, are allowed; and long-term care visitation is allowed.

Tillamook County Community Health Center’s COVID-19 weekly case summary for Nov. 20-25 reports five new confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 and one new presumptive case. There

are seven active cases in the county. This brings the county to 99 positive COVID-19 cases; 115 total when including presumptive.

There are 16 presumptive cases total.

Two individuals are currently hospitalized, the health center added. Oregon Health Authority reports 4,214 negative tests completed and 4,313 total tests completed. Twenty-seven cases are being monitored, including the seven active and 20 close contacts.

There have been no COVID-19 related deaths in the county at this time.

According to Oregon’s Health Authority’s weekly report on Nov. 25, there have been 62 positive and presumptive COVID-19 cases in the city of Tillamook, 1-9 cases each in Rockaway Beach, Pacific City, Bay City, Nehalem, Cloverdale and Wheeler.

n Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) weekly report for Nov. 16-22, weekly hospitalizations from COVID-19 rose to 366, a 26 percent increase and the highest weekly yet reported in the pandemic. During the week, 129,564 COVID-19 tests were conducted.

Oregon’s hospitality for Region 1, according to OHA’s data on Monday, Nov. 30, – which includes Tillamook, Clatsop, Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah and Washington counties – for adult ICU beds, there were 283 beds occupied and 60 beds available. For adult non-ICU beds, such as medical/surgical beds, there were 1,707 beds occupied and 175 beds available.

The Tillamook County Community Health Centers COVID-19 weekly case summary for Nov. 20-25 reports five new confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 and one new presumptive case. There are seven active cases in the county. This brings the county to 99 positive COVID-19 cases. Two individuals are currently hospitalized.

Adventist Health Tillamook Marketing and Communications Manager Cherie Plaisted said the capacity of the Tillamook hospital is expandable if there is an increase in patients. At this time, Tillamook has not experienced a surge in patients.

“Since we are a part of the Adventist Health hospital system, we have access to additional supplies, beds and expertise should we need it,” Plaisted said.

Adventist Health Tillamook also has an intensive care unit, Plaisted added.

At Adventist Health Tillamook, a health care provider must order the COVID-19 test.

“We encourage patients who think they need testing for COVID-19 symptoms or exposures to call our offices and make an appointment for an in-person or virtual evaluation,” Plaisted said. “Tell the provider about your symptoms and how you think you may have been exposed to the virus during the call.”

Plaisted said patients must meet the testing criteria outlined by OHA and the Centers for Disease Control to be tested at an Adventist Health facility. In Tillamook County, testing is limited to those who are symptomatic.

People can call Adventist Health Tillamook at 503-842-4444 or Tillamook County Community Health Centers COVID-19 Nurse Information Line at 503-842-3940.

County closes courthouse due to positive COVID-19 case Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

Tillamook County Board of Commissioners voted to close the courthouse during an emergency meeting Monday, Nov. 23, after the commissioner’s office was alerted earlier in the afternoon that an employee in an office in the courthouse tested positive for COVID-19. The board will reassess Monday,

Nov. 30, whether it is safe for employees to return to work at the courthouse.

Hagerty said the commissioner’s office was alerted that the courthouse has a positive case within an office of the courthouse. McCraw said the individual has had public tracing and those individuals needing to quarantine have been notified.

Gordon McCraw, incident command, said public health

has conducted contact tracing on the individual.

“The people who needed to be quarantined have been notified,” McCraw said.

“They’ll be quarantined for two weeks.”

These individuals are to notify the health department if they develop any symptoms.

Commission Chair Bill Baertlein said if the board chose to close only one or two departments in the

courthouse, this might run the risk of identifying the individual. McCraw said in a small county like Tillamook, any small amount of information could identify the person because of the tightness of the community.

“This is out of an abundance of caution,” Commissioner David Yamamoto said.

The commissioners will be working hard over the next couple of days to figure out

what the best practices are, Yamamoto added. Circuit court does need to operate.

“We’re going to need to have deputies on staff at the front door and let people in as needed to go to circuit court,” Yamamoto said.

Justice court has been holding meetings remotely and can continue with that. They will not be able to process payments with the closure.

Their plan is to have people

set up arrangements to make payments next week.

The commissioners voted and agreed to close the courthouse until the morning of Monday, Nov. 30. They will notify courthouse staff of plans moving forward. Circuit court will be potentially open pending further discussion.

New county-by-county restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19 were announced late last month. The restrictions assess each county’s risk level based on its case rate and test positivity rate over a two-week period and will go into effect following the end of the two-week freez.

Under the new guidance, each county is assigned a risk level ranging from low risk to extreme risk, and each risk level has a corresponding set of health and safety measures to follow. Twenty-one counties in Oregon are currently at an “extreme risk” of spreading COVID-19.

“Unfortunately, now more than ever is the time we must double down on our efforts to stop COVID from spreading,” Gov. Kate Brown said in a media briefing on Nov. 25.

“Our situation is extremely dire. Our hospitals are stretched thin and people are dying.”

The restrictions for counties at an extreme risk are similar to the restrictions of the twoweek freeze, but there are a few differences, a key one concerns outdoor dining. Under the two-week freeze, all restaurants were limited to providing takeout only, but under the new framework, counties at an extreme risk will be allowed to offer outdoor dining with a maximum of six people from two households total at each table.

However, restrictions on retail are a little stricter under the guidance.

“The hard reality is this: There is no normal while the virus rages unchecked, and the touch points of daily life — going shopping, having dinner with your friends, working out — could make you sick,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said.

The new restrictions become effective on Dec. 3 and each county’s risk level will be assessed every two weeks. Counties are deemed at an extreme risk if there are over 200 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people over 14 days.

Extreme risk The following restrictions will be in place for counties at an extreme risk: - Both indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to a maximum of six people from two households total.

- Indoor recreation and fitness centers (gyms, pools, K-12 sports) are not allowed.

- Indoor entertainment centers (aquariums, theaters, museums, event spaces) are not allowed.

- Retail stores are limited to 50 percent capacity and curbside pickup is encouraged.

- Restaurants can provide outdoor dining with a maximum of 50 percent capacity and a close time of 11 p.m., though takeout is highly recommended.

- Churches, funeral homes, cemeteries and mortuaries have an indoor maximum of 25 percent capacity or 150 outdoor.

- Offices are required to close to the public and require remote work if able.

- Outdoor recreation (parks and hiking, K-12 sports, personal training) has a limit of 50.

- Outdoor entertainment (zoos, gardens, theaters or any outdoor entertainment activity) has a limit of 50.

- Personal services are allowed.

- Long-term care facilities can allow only outside visitation.

The restrictions ease for counties at lower risks, and a table explaining the restrictions at each level is available online.

all so held apart, fabric’s tactile appeal comforts her as an artist and as a human starved for contact. Each unique weaving incorporates the work of women dyers and spinners before it reaches her studio. The weavings are meant for daily use, as handwork in a time of mass-production— communal in a culture focused on the individual, and women’s work in an atmosphere that marginalizes women’s cultural contributions.

Rockaway Beach Police Department announces partnership to conduct extra safety patrols

The Rockaway Beach Police Department is excited to announce that they have once again partnered with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oregon Impact and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct extra patrols focused on traffic safety. The extra patrols are funded through grants the police department received from Oregon Impact and ODOT. The grants will be used for seatbelt, speed,

distracted driving, impaired driving and pedestrian safety enforcement.

Some of the grants have specified dates where officers will be focused on certain safety issues. Seatbelt enforcement has four scheduled events: Nov 16 to Nov 29; Feb 1, 2021 to Feb 14, 2021; May 17, 2021 to May 30, 2021 and Aug 23, 2021 to Sep 5, 2021.

Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) has New Year’s Eve 2020, Fourth

of July 2021 and Aug. 18, 2021 to Sept. 6, 2021 as times where participation is needed to meet the requirements of the grant.

April 2021 will be National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The police department will have extra patrols out during this time.

The police department will look to implement two Pedestrian Safety Exercises in the Spring and Summer of 2021.

Targeted speed enforcement will be occurring throughout

the year.

Traffic safety enforcement aims to reduce crashes on Oregon’s Highways. The police department will also be posting to their Facebook page when the different events are taking place.

If you have questions about this project, please feel free to contact Sergeant Sean Ahlers at the Rockaway Beach Police Department or by phone at (503)-374-1726.

Rockaway Beach Police Department to move to City Hall The Rockaway Beach Police Department is in the process of moving to its new location, Rockaway Beach City Hall located at 276 Hwy 101 South in Rockaway Beach. The move will provide for increased workflow within the city with the added benefit

of annual cost savings.

The police department will be in the former council chambers on the second floor of City Hall. The move is scheduled to be complete by Dec. 11.

The police department’s mailing address will not

change and they expect their phone number to remain the same. If any of their contact information changes other than the physical location of the department, they will provide that when available.

Rockaway Beach City Hall is still operating under COVID-19 protocols, requiring appointments for access to City Hall. In the case of any emergency call 911, for non-emergent police matters, please call (503) 815-1911. If you have a concern that may not need immediate attention or general questions for the department, please call (503) 374-1726.

The police department does not anticipate any interruption to police services during the transition as they are working with community partners to make the move as seamless as possible.

The department would like to thank the citizens of Rockaway Beach and the community partners for their continued support during this transition.
