County remains in Lower Risk for last movement period Hilary Dorsey

Staff Writer

illamook County remains in Lower Risk effective Friday, June 25, through Thursday, July 1.

With Oregon close to the 70 percent vaccination rate goal – 68.7 percent of Oregonians have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine,

as of Monday, June 21— county risk level movements will no longer be announced.

Tillamook County was at 64.3 percent with a vaccination rate goal of 65 percent; around 150 more people are needed to reach that vaccine goal.

“Once that 70 percent vaccine rate of the state is met, Oregon’s risk level

framework, including all of the county-based metrics and health and safety restrictions, will be lifted,” Tillamook County Community Health Centers Administrator Marlene Putman reported during a community update Tuesday, June 22. “That includes masks, physical distancing, capacity limit requirements in almost all settings.”

Places such as airports, public transit and public health settings will still require masks.

“There are still people becoming sick and being hospitalized for COVID-19 and needing ventilators,” Administrator Marlene Putman said.

“If you’re ill, check in with your provider, give us a call if you need support.”

Outside the box

Commissioner David Yamamoto said of all the counties, Tillamook County is one of the few with a zero case count. Yamamoto said people should not lower their guard, as neighboring Clatsop County was eligible to move to High Risk but stayed at Lower Risk in a caution period.

New vaccine appointments

are available to schedule for June and July at the health center’s annex, located at 2111 8th St. Call 503842-3914 or email tcchc@ co.tillamook.or.us to make an appointment.

eah-Kah-Nie Middle School sixth graders participated in a three-day camp Outdoor School experience June 7-9 at Twin Rocks Friends Camp in Rockaway Beach. The day camp gave the students a chance to interact with others not in their normal cohort and learn new things.

Kessler McNutt said he was able to hang out friends he is not able to see most of the time because of the school’s cohorts. He also liked partner activities.

Haag named Manzanita’s Citizen of the Year D

an Haag was named Manzanita’s Citizen of the Year at the Jun. 9 meeting of the city council. Haag is a part-time independent contractor who runs the Manzanita Visitors’ Center.

Announcing the honor, Mayor Mike Scott said Haag, “faced several critical challenges this past year, most of them related to the town virtually shutting down for some months.”

He added that Haag was a “unifying and positive force for good in our community. He brought together businesses, citizens, and governments of the surrounding area. He became, in effect, the face of Manzanita to people from all over the world.”

“It was neat to see how important that is to creating a sense of community and providing hands on, direct education,” Blake said of Outdoor School.

Garibaldi Days is a go I

t’s official. On June 14, the Garibaldi City Council voted unanimously to hold the annual Garibaldi Days celebration for two days on Saturday, July 24, and Sunday, July 25.

The 2020 event was canceled because of the pandemic. Due to the short time to plan and organize the 61st anniversary of the festival, it’s been deemed “Garibaldi Days Lite.”

Several regular activities, such as the free nighttime music concerts will not take place. However, an amazing fireworks display over Tillamook Bay is slated for that Saturday night, July 24. Competitions between the Garibaldi Fire Department volunteers and the Tillamook Bay Coast Guard Station sailors are being planned.

The highlight of the celebration is a gala parade.

Efforts are underway to engage as many previous and new parade participants to make the trek down Hwy 101 and parts of the city. The parade is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. July 24.

The parade’s Grand Marshal will be Virgil Loudon, a Port of Garibaldi employee who recently retired after 32 years and who facilitated the city’s parade for many years.

This year’s Marketplace will again feature a diverse group of vendors offering a variety of crafts, jewelry, keepsakes, foods and much more.

Garibaldi Days is a proud tradition in the city of more than 800 residents. In the past, the event was organized by the former Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, and for the past six years, by two City employees.

“I pledged as mayor to once again include our residents in planning Garibaldi Days.” said Mayor Tim Hall. “It’s truly a celebration embraced by everyone.”

Hall reported he held a Town Hall meeting June 3 in which residents offered a number of new, good ideas like holding a Classic Car Show and a public stage for local musicians to perform during the day.

Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad had “Good Morning America” ride the Coastal Excursion on Tuesday, June 15. A crew of eight from the ABC morning show came to see the operation and interview the executive director as well as the founder and chief mechanical officer for a piece that aired Thursday, June 17.

Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad was contacted in late May by a GMA producer, Dominick Proto, regarding an interview. He said they would be coming to Oregon in June and would like to interview the railroad for inclusion in their “Rise and Shine” series about the reopening of America.

“We were certainly surprised and excited at the thought of being included in something on the national level and of course we gave them an enthusiastic “YES!” as our response,” said Administrative Manager Carla Lyman. “Once we got the final date of their arrival, we scheduled a special steam event for the railroad, because

we do not typically run steam during the week.”

The GMA team arrived in Rockaway Beach and the railroad’s executive director Rachael Aldridge, chief mechanical officer and founder Scott Wickert and Lyman rode the 10 a.m. train to meet them in Rockaway Beach on June 15 and rode back to Garibaldi with them. They filmed during that ride both with Go-pro camera on the back of the train and from the open

car, while railroad staff talked with them about the area, Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and other points of interest in the coastal area.

“They were very excited to learned that we own the McCloud 25 engine, which pulled the train that day, was in several movies include the Rob Reiner coming of age classic ‘Stand By Me,’” Lyman said.

After on camera interviews during the layover

in Garibaldi, railroad staff accompanied the guests back to Rockaway Beach aboard the train and said goodbyes to the friendly eight-person crew from Good Morning America.

Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad was honored to be spotlighted in the “Rise and Shine” in Oregon piece.

As much of the nation prepares for what could be a disastrous fire season, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley is urging local residents to be watchdogs in an effort to protect communities for major blazes.

During a conference call with the media Saturday, June 26, Merkley said people in neighborhoods across Oregon and the western part of the nation could stop the biggest threats before they start.

“Folks that are out in the community, when they see any signs like dropped matches, burns in their neighborhoods, the really important thing for people to do is not take but a minute and call the local fire officials. What the public can say is we can be the watchdogs over some of these threats.”

Merkley said it important for every person to play a role this year, saying he expects the fire season to be unprecedented. Because of the threat, Merkley has been working closely with the Biden administration, the U.S. Forest Service and others to come up with a plan to handle the potential of a fire season no one has seen before.

“For several weeks, I have been working very closely with the White House and the Forest Service to make sure they are prepared to deal with the unprecedented fire season

in the west,” Merkley said.

“Specifically, the danger of multiple big fires, infernos, taking place simultaneously across the western states. The fires are going to stress local, state and federal resources to the breaking point unless we are prepared. Millions of westerners this morning are collectively holding their breath about the prospect of one of these infernos ripping through their town.”

Merkley said after his continued discussions in D.C., he expects announcements to be made this week outlining federal plans for the fire season.

“I expect the Biden administration will have more to say publicly about this threat, this grave threat, in the next few days,” Merkley said. “I’ve been raising this in public hearings and private conversations every single day.”

While Merkley said he has not seen the White House plan, he expects the federal government to explain how it might fight multiple large fires at one time.

“Specifically, what I think we’ll hear is about making sure there are personnel available in the west to fight multiple fires, the big fires, at the same time,” he said. “The reason I emphasize this is because this is a departure from the past. Usually, we have one big fire, and other western states will chip in for the state that was hit the hardest. Now, we’re talking about something that’s unprecedented, which

is big fires simultaneously throughout the west.”

Merkley said during a recent public hearing, the Forest Service admitted it could be a very difficult year.

“Vicki Christiansen, the head of the Forest Service, said she felt resources are already at the breaking point,” Merkley said. “What we’re going to hear about this week is make sure there’s more personnel available to fight multiple fires at the same time, there’s equipment to back that up and that local, state and federal firefighters are going to be tightly coordinated in order to deal with this.”

In addition to more firefighters, Merkley said more funding will be needed.

“I do believe it’s going to take additional resources to deal with this especially grave situation, the possibility of fires all over the west at the same time,” he said. “I expect this will take additional resources.”

Merkley said there are two fronts where the threat of dangerous fires must be attacked.

The first is have firefighters and equipment available when blazes erupt. The second is an effort to thin out millions of acres of forest that are a tinderbox right now. Merkley said it will cost up to $20 billion to thin out the forest, which will ease the threat in the long run.

“Right now, my biggest concern is it is so dry,” he said.

CARE-A-Thon raises $20,000 for poverty fighting services before the end of their fiscal year. If you did not participate in the event, but want to support poverty fighting services in your community, you can make a donation to the CARE-A-Thon until June 30 by visiting www. careinc.org/donate or by sending your donation to 2310 First Street, Suite 2, Tillamook, OR 97141.

“On behalf of all our staff, volunteers, and especially our clients, I want to thank everyone who came out in support of the CARE-AThon,” said Peter Starkey, CARE’s executive director.

“We knew this year’s event

was going be different because of the COVID-19 pandemic and we honestly did not know what to expect, but the wonderful people of Tillamook County once again rallied to fight poverty and raise $20,000 for their friends and neighbors in the community.”

Through CARE’s social services division there are numerous funds and funding sources that support rental assistance or energy assistance, but those are just two of any number of challenges facing low-wage workers and those experiencing homelessness in Tillamook

County. For all these other challenges, like unexpected car repairs, prescription medications, bus tokens and so much more, CARE relies on its client services fund.

CARE’s spring fundraising event is the primary source of support for the client services fund, which is why the success of the CAREA-Thon is so important in fighting poverty in Tillamook County and why CARE has plans to grow this event in the years to come.

“We hope to build on the success of this year’s CARE-A-Thon and add a family friendly, in-person

component to the event next year,” said Starkey. “We want to give the community an opportunity to come together once again and show their support for poverty fighting services in Tillamook County while having a lot of fun in the process.

We are not sure what this will look like yet, but it will be in May 2022, it will be in person, and it will be fun for the whole family! We look forward to seeing you there and to your support as we strive to Knock Out Poverty in Tillamook county.”

Gov. Brown lifts all restrictions in State Wed. June 30

Oregon Gov. Brown lifted all restrictions on June 30 and all mandated health and safety requirements, including face masks and social distancing.

Brown made the announcement last Friday during a briefing with reporters.

In an executive order, Brown said if the state reaches her previous goal of 70% vaccination rate before June 30, the pandemic restrictions will be lifted.

“As we near the end of June, more than 15 months since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Oregon, we find ourselves entering a new chapter the pandemic,” Brown said.

“More than 2.3 million Oregonians are now vacci-

nated. And we are quickly approaching the point where 70% of Oregon’s adults have received a first dose.”

During the press briefing, Brown signed a new executive order—extending Oregon’s emergency order and repealing the face mask and social distancing mandates.

The order will come into effect once the state reaches the 70% mark or on June 30, whichever comes first, according to Brown.

“As I have detailed before, that means no more statewide mask mandates in most settings, no required capacity limits, and no required physical distancing,” Brown explained. “That means effectively, Oregon is 100% open for business.”

Over the past couple of weeks, daily vaccination rates have slowed, pushing Brown’s original deadline of June 21.

Over 2.3 million Oregonians have received at least one dose of the COIVD-19 vaccine, according to Director of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Pat Allen.

“We are on the doorstep of a 70 percent adult vaccination rate,” Allen said.

In the national ranking of states’ vaccination rates, Oregon has the 18th highest percentage of adults with at least one dose of the COVID-10 vaccine, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), said Allen. Columbia County’s vaccination rate is 50.1%.

Moving toward reopening and beyond, Allen and Brown said the state will shift power back to county commissioners and their public health agencies—though Brown said county’s need to focus on vaccination drives in rural areas and within Black, Indigenous, Latino, and Asian American communities of color.

“We must also recognize that it has been exceptionally difficult for our Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and tribal communities. Disparities that existed before are even wider now,” Brown said.

When faced with concern that the mask mandate would not be lifted before the extreme heat hits this weekend,

Brown and Allen said that the state would be lifting capacity limits on public transportation and looking to doing the same will large public spaces, like grocery stores, to employ them as cooling centers.

Whether the state hits the 70% in the next few days or not, the state will reopen on June 30—though Brown said she still encourages vulnerable populations and those living in areas with low vaccination rates to consider continuing to wear masks and limiting the kind of activities they engage in.

Should the state reach a “dire point” again, Allen said, the state would consider reinstating the restrictions again.

But a resurgence is unlikely,

as 7 in 10 Oregonians are vaccinated (with the state pushing for an 8:10 ratio), and high vaccination rates (above 70%) will prevent the virus from spreading.

“This action will give Oregon the flexibility and access to resources needed to aid in our recovery efforts.

Brighter days are certainly ahead,” Brown said. “And we are more determined than ever to make sure that we ground our state in a strong recovery that reaches every single Oregonian as we turn a new page on this chapter of the pandemic. Our work isn’t done. But we can all take a moment to celebrate that by next week. We will all be moving forward together.”

Oregon State Police joins forces to put the brakes on excessive speeding Drivers stayed off the roads in droves during the pandemic. Unfortunately, those who did drive were the cause of a steep rise in roadway deaths, with the excess speed at the heart of many crashes.

The Western States Traffic Safety Coalition (WSTSC) members came together to show commitment and emphasis on meaningful public education about the dangers of risky driving behaviors, especially excessive speeding.

The WSTSC Coalition includes the following members from Arizona Department of Public Safety, California Highway Patrol, Colorado State Patrol, Idaho State Police, Montana Highway Patrol, Nevada Highway Patrol, North Dakota Highway Patrol, South Dakota Highway Patrol, Utah Highway Patrol, Washington State Patrol, Wyoming Highway Patrol, and #YourOregonStatePolice.

Excess speed is a major factor contributing to serious injury and fatal crashes for drivers of all ages, along with speeding-related vehicle rollovers. As the nation opens up, summer vacations begin and more people hit the roads, law enforcement will be proactive in helping bring speeds and subsequent crashes down.

Excessive speed has a devastating impact on the safety of life for those traveling on our highways. To help address this issue, the WSTSC will be conducting an Excessive Speed Enforcement Safety Campaign this June 25 – 27.

Assertive traffic law enforcement activity with a targeted public safety focus is the purpose of the WSTSC partner-

ship and this campaign. The WSTSC encourages everyone to plan ahead and allow plenty

of time to arrive at your destination safely to avoid feeling the need to speed.
