Kelp crab caught in Tillamook Bay

Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue responds to truck on fire

G

Staff Report

aribaldi Marina reported a cool find in the Tillamook Bay this past Friday. They said this lovely specimen, identified as a Kelp Crab, is found in rocky areas and around pilings. They’re known for their large claws, long spidery legs, and shield shaped shell.

Kelp crab are in the Majidae or “Spider crab” family. Several species in this diverse family are excellent climbers, many are found in the complex habitats of the Oregon’s rocky reefs.

Crabbing is a year-round activity in Oregon that can almost always yield a successful trip. Crabbing trips require minimal gear, often available for rent in coastal towns, and while boat crabbing increases your likelihood for success, dockside crabbing is easy and very accessible.

Smaller estuaries and those with fresher water influence may be good during the late summer through the early winter.

Fall is typically the best time to crab. Beginning in September, crabs will tend to be more “filled out,” meaning there is a higher

Upon arrival, crews found a GMC pickup will a well-involved fire in the engine compartment.

According to NBFR, the driver stated that nobody was in the vehicle and that nobody was injured.

“Crews extinguished the fire, but the vehicle is a total loss,” said NBFR Fire Chief Chris Beswick.

The cause of the fire is undetermined, but the driver said he pulled over due to engine problems.

percentage of quality meat.

Experts advise using caution when boating or crabbing as swift currents during tidal exchanges could occur and could result in loss of gear or cause boat to be pulled out to sea if mechanical problems arise. Before crabbing, be aware of crab regulations. Knowledge of where, when and how to crab will increase your chances for success. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offers the following guide on how to crab.

When to go You can find some crab in every Oregon estuary, but Coos, Yaquina and Tillamook normally provide the best year-round opportunities.

The Elk-Kings Trail Races wrap up season, prepare runners for France Hilary Dorsey

headlightreporter@countrymedia.net The Elk-Kings Trail Races will start at 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12 at Jones Creek Campground in Tillamook. These races will consist of a Mountain Marathon, a 50K, and a 25K in the Tillamook Forest.

The Elk-Kings Trail Races is an annual event and has been happening since 2013.

“We started back then with the 25K,” said Renee Janssen from Go Beyond Racing, the organizer of the event. “We added the 50K the following year. And last year was the first year for the new Mountain Marathon distance.”

The 25K race is a very steep and technical course run on single-track trails in the Tillamook State Forest. Runners will summit two mountains – Elk and

Kings Mountains – and involve 5,800 feet of gain.

“The 25K distance is the most popular of the three,” Janssen said. “It’s the only race like it around, with scrambling with your hands up Elk Mountain and using ropes to descend the summit.”

The Mountain Marathon race will lead you to the backside of Elk Mountain, over to King’s summit, down and back up to the Elk summit before heading back to King’s and then the finish. This race involves 8,000 feet of gain and even more in loss.

The 50K runs on single-track trails all along the Wilson River Trail and has 6,500 feet of gain. It is a double out and back. The 50K doesn’t go up Elk or Kings mountain but is still a tough course with lots of rolling hills on the Wilson River Trail.

If you haven’t registered by Oct. 6, you will have to on the day of the race, as long as races are not sold out. The Mountain Marathon is $110, the 25K is $100, and the 50K is $120.

There are awards for the top three men and women in each distance.

“We give out Nike Trail shoes, Black Diamond poles and headlamps, and Ultimate Direction running packs,” Janssen said. “We also provide age group

awards for all three distances.”

Janssen said people like this race for several reasons.

“The unique nature of the 25K and the Mountain Marathon courses draw people who like technical and rugged running,” Janssen said. “It’s similar to the sky running races in Europe and there isn’t a lot like that in the northwest.”

The race provides The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) points for those looking to qualify for the race in Chamonix, said Janssen. Chamonix is a resort area near the junction of France, Switzerland, and Italy. The base of Mont Blanc is the highest summit in the Alps.

The Elk-Kings Trail Races is a nice end-of-season event for runners to wrap up their year of racing.

ommand changed hands this past May at Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay when Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Curtis Dewey retired, turning over leadership to Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Corbin Ross, who couldn’t be happier since his arrival.

In his free time, Ross is a dedicated fisherman who also likes to tinker with engines. He lives in Warrenton with his children, 17-year old Victoria and 13-year old Tyler. Born and raised in Bend, Oregon, he is also a lifelong outdoorsman, always looking for a chance to enjoy nature.

Growing up, Ross formed a connection with the Pacific Ocean early, beginning scuba diving with his family at a young age and spending his summers visiting Oregon Coast towns. He saw a lot of the Coast Guard during that time and it wasn’t long before he wanted a piece of the action – driving the boats.

Ross’ first unit was based in Port Angeles, Washington, on the Cutter Active. He was bummed at first because he wanted to drive the small boats, but the tour was far more exciting than Ross had expected. The unit spent much of its time focused on busting drug runners and illegal migrants.

“It was few and far between, but you got something it was intense,”

Ross said.

Ross went from Tillamook Bay to Fort Bragg, California, for a tour at Coast Guard Station Noyo River. He also served in Annapolis, Maryland and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

bag, using bait that they don’t eat (e.g. turkey legs) and avoiding areas where they are prevalent.

Continued from Page 1 tend to be more “filled out,” meaning there is a higher percentage of quality meat.

You can tell meat quality by the condition of the shell. Hard-shelled crabs will contain 20-30 percent meat by weight, compared to soft-shelled crabs which can be as low as 12 percent meat. After heavy rainfall and resulting freshets, crab tend to be less abundant in the bays.

“Slack water” (the times of peak high or low tide) are the best times to crab. During swift tidal exchanges crab often bury themselves, but at slack water more crab are walking around foraging, since they are being less affected by tidal currents.

Crabbing is open in estuaries (i.e. bays), beaches, tide pools, piers and jetties year-round. Crabbing in the ocean is closed for Dungeness crab from Oct. 16 to Nov. 30.

Make sure you have your shellfish license, crab measuring device, pots or rings, cooler, bait holders and bait. Check all the lines on your crab pots or rings for kinks or knots to ensure they are durable and will allow gear to work correctly. Make sure all your buoys are well marked so you can tell which pots are yours.

Baiting your gear Many different types of meat are used for crab baits: turkey, chicken, mink, fish carcass, shad, herring, clams, etc. But whatever you use, fresh bait is best.

There are many ways to secure your crab bait. As long as the bait stays in the gear when crabbing, and the crabs can get to it, most methods will work. Keep in mind that seals and sea lions will eat any attractive bait that they can get -- including bait laying out on a crab ring. You can avoid this problem by using a bait

Coastal

Setting your gear and soak time From a boat: Remember to set your crab gear outside of navigational channels. Set pots far enough apart so that you aren’t competing with your own gear. Try to allow 30-45 minutes before retrieving your gear if you are crabbing with pots and 10-20 minutes if you are crabbing with rings.

From a dock: Tie the end of your crab line to the dock or pier from where you are crabbing. Throw your crab pot or ring in the water to start crabbing. Try to allow 30-45 minutes before retrieving your gear if you are crabbing with crab pots and 10-20 minutes if you are crabbing with rings.

Retrieving your gear From a boat: Locate your buoy and approach slowly along the side of the boat. Grab the crab line just below the buoy with your hand or a gaff. A “crab davit” makes retrieval much easier on your back. When using crab rings, be sure to pull quickly at first to get the ring into a basket shape so you don’t lose the crab.

From a dock: Grab your crab line below where you have attached it to the dock or pier and pull your crab ring or pot to the surface. If you’re using crab rings, remember to retrieve at a consistent speed in order to keep the sides of the ring over the crabs to avoid losing any.

Sorting crab Quickly sort through crab, being careful to not break crab legs or get your fingers pinched. An experienced crab handler will sort crabs by keeping them at ease.

They want to get out, but they don’t want to be forcefully grabbed. A quick shake of the pot is often more effective then reaching directly for them. Keep only male crab.

Garibaldi Marina/Facebook Measuring crab Measure all male crab with a crab gauge. Legal Dungeness crab must be male and at least 5 ¾-inches across the back (not including the spines) or wider.

When measuring make sure you measure in a straight line across the back immediately in front of, but not including the last points.

Keeping crab quality Store legal-size “keeper” crabs in a cooler with ice or ice packs, or in a bucket or cooler with water. If you keep your crabs in bucket or cooler with water, make sure to change the water frequently to keep the water cool and oxygenated. Releasing “soft shell” crab is strongly recommended.

Soft-shelled crab are newly molted and are essentially a small crab in a big crab’s body. Meat pick out can be very low (as little as half that of a crab in good condition) and the quality of the meat is usually stringy and not as delicious.

How do you get to school? Are you able to walk or bike, or do you live too far, are too busy, or have to cross unsafe streets? Across Oregon, Safe Routes to School Programs are trying to overcome these barriers and make it safer, easier, and more fun for families to be active on the way to school.

Neah-Kah-Nie Middle and High School recently received funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation to improve streets near the school and help families walk and bike to school more safely. The funding will be used to help create a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan to identify how to improve streets near the school which will support families in getting to

school safely.

The SRTS Plan will also outline opportunities for education and encouragement events to promote walking and biking to school. The schools are asking for feedback about experiences traveling to school and ideas for reducing barriers for students walking and biking.

There are multiple ways to participate: 1.Give feedback using our online input tool. Share your experiences getting to and from school. What areas should be focused on?

Governor bans flavored vaping products for now Cody Mann

headlightnews@countrymedia.net

O

regon Gov. Kate Brown (D) on Friday, Oct. 4, issued a six-month ban on flavored vaping products by executive order amid a vaping-related lung illness scare. The ban, Executive Order 19-09, includes products containing THC and nicotine.

State officials urged people to immediately stop using all vaping products after Oregon Health Authority confirmed the second vaping-related death in Oregon on Sept. 26. In both fatal cases, cannabis vaping products were purchased from licensed retail stores.

Eight Oregonians reportedly have fallen ill with the severe lung disease linked to vaping. Five of the victims reported vaping marijuana oils bought at legal cannabis retail stores. The first vaping fatality in Oregon was reported Sept. 3. State health officials said the victim died in July after battling lung failure for five weeks.

A press released from the governor’s office noted that e-cigarettes are the most popular tobacco products used by Oregon’s youth, with 23 percent of Oregon 11th graders reporting using an e-cigarette in 2019, up from 13 percent in 2017.

“My first priority is to safeguard the health of all Oregonians,” Brown said.

“By keeping potentially unsafe products off of store shelves and out of the hands of Oregon’s children and youth, we prevent exposing more people to potentially dangerous chemical compounds and help lessen the chance of further tragedy for any other Oregon family.

“I want to be clear though: the safest option for Oregonians right now is to not use vaping products of any kind,” she said. “Until we know more about what is causing this illness, please, do not vape. Encourage your friends and family members to stop vaping immediately.

Talk to your children about the dangers of vaping. The risks are far too high.”

Brown said the bestavailable evidence from state and federal public health experts indicates that certain ingredients and compounds contained in flavored vaping products and additives have been found in cases of vaping-related lung injury and death. The governor also called on the federal government to act to address vaping-related illness.

“This order will help protect Oregon households in the short term, but federal action is long overdue to address this national public health crisis,” Brown said.

“It’s time for the FDA to regulate flavored vaping products and other additives for what they are: products that are addictive, dangerous, and targeted squarely at our youth.”

It was not immediately clear when the ban would take effect.

Healthcare advocates react Oregon Medical Association immediately released a statement expressing strong support for the temporary

ban. The advocacy group said liquid flavors such as bubble gum, fruit, and mint appeal to kids, and limiting access is an important step in preventing youth use and stopping a possible lifelong addiction.

The statement said health care organizations across the state are united on the temporary ban and continue to advocate for raising the price of tobacco products and e-cigarettes to deter tobacco and nicotine use.

“We have known for some time that vaping products – particularly those that are flavored – threaten to increase the number of youth addicted to nicotine,” the Oregon Medical Association statement said. “Given the increasing vaping-related illnesses and deaths over the last several months, urgent action is critical.”

Leadup to the moratorium On Friday, Sept. 27, Oregon Health Authority recommended the governor act to ban vaping product sales for six months, including nicotine, tobacco and cannabis vape products sold in stores and online.

The moratorium on sales was one of six suggestions that were proposed by Oregon Health Authority after Brown requested ideas from the state agency. Education campaigns aimed at quitting vaping, federal regulation, and more input from doctors and other experts were also suggested.

“If you vape, whether it’s cannabis, nicotine or other products, please quit,”

state health officer Dr. Dean Sidelinger said. “These are addictive substances, and we encourage people to take advantage of free resources to help them quit. If you haven’t started vaping, don’t start.”

Vaping product sales in Oregon are plummeting according to cannabis industry research by New Frontier Data that showed a 62-percent downturn in September.

Details of Executive Order 19-09 The order calls for a 180-day ban on all flavored vaping products under the emergency rulemaking authority of the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

The order also directs state agencies to develop legislative proposals for long-term solutions for consideration by the Legislature.

In addition to the temporary ban, the executive order calls for state agencies to develop plans within 90 days regarding warnings about the dangers of vaping, ingredient disclosure, products safety testing, improving reporting of vaping-related lung injuries, increasing access to federally-approved cessation services and methods, and establishing a statewide prevention and education campaign.

Executive Order 19-09 also convenes a Vaping Public Health Workgroup to advise the governor and state agencies, examine the evidence about the causes and effects of vaping-related

OPINION

Why shoot the messenger?

Our two senators and our Congressman in Washington, DC, visit the Tillamook area and interact with us, their constituents, once or twice a year. Our county commissioners decided not to try having meetings in the evenings, or in other parts of the county, but we can drive to listen to them every week. I live in Tiffiny Mitchell’s district. I know of several town halls she has had throughout the district since she was sworn in ten months ago. Since the legislative session has been over, I’ve seen her at various events in different parts of Tillamook County. She has politely answered questions – some of them over and over again, at different forums, sometimes from the same people. I was not pleased with every vote she took, but she responded positively to constructive criticism that I sent her. Yes, she has responded.

Each district is represented not only by a house member, but also a senator. I do not agree with every vote my

senator took either, nor with every stance she has taken on issues. I can count on one finger the number of forums I know of in which she came and spoke to the public this year. These interactions with our elected representatives troubles me. We are quick to criticize those few who really try to make an effort to reach out to their constituents, but we say nothing about those who choose not to interact with us. We, the constituents, appear to be satisfied with the lack of interaction displayed by most of our elected leaders, who represent us. But the one representative who has done by far the best job of trying to interact with her constituents is rewarded with a recall petition. Is anyone else bothered by this?

Stopping the vote Last week our Secretary of State Bev Clarno rejected ballot measures that were filed in hopes of finding their way to the ballot so that voters could

decide if they wanted to see changes in the way harvesting operations take place in our forests. She said she denied them a place on the ballot because they covered too many subjects even though every issue covered in those measures could be applied to the harvest of a single plot of forest land: steep slope logging that can trigger landslides; streamside buffers too narrow to prevent streams from heating up, drying up or loading up with sediment; and aerial pesticide spraying (which should require no explanation if you’re paying attention at all lately).

There was also a request to eliminate conflicts of interest on the Board of Forestry.

None of these measures are too complicated for voters to understand, especially for those in rural areas next to industrial timber lands and none of them are unreasonable requests for changes to outdated practices on the part of a enormously wealthy industry. In a news release Secretary of State Clarno’s slip of the tongue simply said it all when she apparently confused the Oregon Board of Forestry - which guides the

state’s forestry practices - with the Oregon Forest Industries Council - a lobbying group that acts on behalf of industry, not the citizens. When it comes to regulatory policies does she look first to the industry whose actions will be measured by that regulation, rather than to the agencies that are tasked with keeping a watchful eye on that very industry? This pushback from industry and the legislators who take their money is all about seeking freedom from regulation, wherever possible, while endangering the health and future of our children and grandchildren and every living thing in our forests. If the issues covered in these ballot initiatives were put before the voters, we’re confident they would pass. Industry, on the other hand, would have plenty to worry about, since their investors on Wall Street shouldn’t be able to vote in an Oregon state election. How convenient for them that they have in place a legislative firewall to ensure that the voters can’t interfere with their antiregulatory agenda but that’s what we’re left with when too much money pollutes the only

recourse we have to protect ourselves – the ballot.

Invest in the future My wife Kathy and I have been full time residents of Manzanita since we moved here in August of 2002. We made the move for all the same reasons as many of our current residents: to live in a beautiful, quiet, small Oregon beach town. While we have been living in Manzanita, our community has successfully balanced city growth with the original unique personality of our small town. One can see how popular the town has become with the increased visitors, and second home owners which have all added to the demands on our public employees and facilities. Over our 17 plus years of residency, our community has faced significant weather events - a tornado, significant flooding and a gale force wind storm of December 2007. Each presented our community leaders with the question: “How

do we keep our community safe during and after these events?” With the threat of a devastating tsunami or other natural or man-made disasters in our area, our local community began active education for emergency preparedness in each household.Recently, our city government representatives have taken additional action to ensure that if a tsunami were to occur near Manzanita, a command center would be available, out of the inundation zone, for our civic leaders, police force, EVC volunteers, and ham radio operators. It takes courage to look forward 50 years and to invest in our community’s future with a city services building - that would assure the safety of our current residents as well as preserve the uniqueness of our small town for the next generation to live in and love Manzanita as much as we do. Both Kathy and I are voting “YES” on the November ballot to invest in the future of Manzanita! We are encouraging you to do the same. .

Guest Column Mayor Bullard States the Case

To the Manzanita Community: Our community includes full-time residents, second home owners and a flood of visitors who come in and go out like the tide. To all three constituencies Manzanita is a special place.

In my 10 years as mayor (2006-2016), I learned that the spirit of volunteerism is one of the qualities that makes Manzanita so special.

Volunteerism generates pride in our community and supports a respect for differences of opinion.

We are, after all, friends and neighbors. We experience this connection at the Post Office, at the Library, at Little Apple and elsewhere as instinctive good will, optimism and friendship. Whatever the issue, personal attacks, negative innuendos and hidden agendas add nothing to the merits of an idea or proposed course of action.

One of the fruits of our spirit of volunteerism is an excellent Mayor, City Council and Planning Commission who all do their homework.

Working in tandem they defend our community and work to provide the infrastructure and municipal services that make our community a good place to be. These community leaders are all volunteers.

We also have been fortunate to have had an excellent city manager/ city planner for more than 20 years; he was recognized as the best in Oregon by the League of

Oregon Cities in 2016.

He retired last year and a fine administrative staff and a new city manager continue the good work.

Our new city manager served as understudy to the outgoing manager for 18 months in preparation for a smooth transition.

She is a quick study and doing well in a challenging job in challenging times.

I mention this because it is pertinent to the issue at hand: will you support a $6.5 million bond measure to build a multipurpose facility that will provide an emergency response gathering place and services, public safety offices and space for city operations and governance? There is a proposed concept to accomplish this that places these important community services outside the tsunami zone. I believe it is a project that will create additional community pride.

For more than a decade we set aside money to accomplish the current proposal. In hindsight, it was not enough, but it was a start and a public commitment to the need.

We have the leadership to accomplish this project.

It is within our collective means. Like other projects – the water system, the waste-water system, the Fire District, paving Laneda and Carmel, the short-term rental tax – it is time to take action.

This number does not include men, gender non-conforming and transgender people, or children who were murdered during that same period. It’s important to note that anyone can perpetrate violence and anyone can be a survivor of intimate partner or domestic violence. Still, 85% of all survivors are women and girls . Jaqueline Campbell, RN PhD, a national leader in research and advocacy in the field of intimate partner and domestic violence, notes that for every woman killed in the United States, 9 more are almost killed.

The World Health Organization calls intimate partner violence “a global health problem of epidemic proportions.”

Most people, including many survivors, identify domestic violence as physical assault only, but it is so much more. Intimate partner, domestic, or teen dating violence (IPV) occur when one person in a relationship uses a pattern of methods and tactics to

gain and maintain power and control over the other person. It’s a cycle that generally gets worse over time—not a one-time incident. People who choose abusive behavior use jealousy, isolation, emotional and psychological abuse, coercion, intimidation, and threats long before physical violence occurs. Leaving an abusive relationship is not always the best, safest, or most realistic option for survivors. All of us, whether we realize it or not, know people who have experienced or are living with intimate partner violence. Its impacts ripple out through our community and are felt by friends, family, employers, educators, healthcare providers, police officers, the court system, faith communities . . . and the list goes on. Because all of us are impacted by it, we can work together to support survivors and end violence in our community.

October is national Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Tides of Change (formerly Tillamook Co. Women’s Resource Center) invites you to join us in honoring survivors and victims. The Tides of Change mission is to provide hope, safety, and support to those impacted by gender based violence and shift cultural norms through advocacy, education, and community collaboration. Tides of Change offers advocacy services, including assessment and safety planning; education and referrals to community resources, health services, and legal assistance; support groups; free counseling services; and emergency shelter and safe housing.

We could not do this

alone. Everyone has a part to play in supporting survivors and ending domestic violence—educators and parents have the opportunity to talk about and model healthy relationships; health-care providers can discuss with patients how relationships affect health; faith communities can facilitate conversations about safety and respect within marriage and family life.

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this year we’re asking folks to answer the question, What’s your part? During October, there are many opportunities to find your part: • On Wed., October 23, you are invited to gather with Tides of Change at Carnahan Park from noon to 1 pm. As usual, we will honor survivors and remember local individuals who were murdered by current or former partners. This year we will be dedicating a new plaque in memory of Tillamook native Dion Wilks. Dion was a Tillamook High School Grad, practicing dental hygienist, and National Guard soldier who was killed by a former boyfriend on February 1, 2003 outside of Salem.

Attendees will be invited to take a #NoMore pledge and write their reasons for wanting to end domestic violence and the #1Thing they will do to support survivors. A photo booth will provide a place for people to take photos with their pledges and post them on social media.

• Tides of Change is hosting a gift card drive throughout the month to support survivors directly.

ToC staff and community partners work to meet needs of survivors and their chil-

dren. Even so, survivors are sometimes without basic needs like money for gas or a way to pay for prescriptions. Gift cards in denominations of $25, $10, or $5 for local businesses like Shell, Chevron, Safeway, and Fred Meyer will support survivors as they seek safety.

• On October 24, participate in #PurpleThursday by wearing purple and posting your picture to Tides of Change social media accounts as an indiidual, group, or business. o On Facebook @ Tidesofchangenw, on Instagram @tidesofchangenw, or Twitter @TidesofChangenw • In October and throughout the year, invite Tides of Change to share more about our work or facilitate a training with your organization or business.

• All year long, support Tides of Change through a monthly donation.

As author Jeanne McElvaney wrote, “You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so other know they aren’t alone.”

Let’s stand with all survivors this month—and honor those we have lost— so that they know they are not alone. Let them know that everyone deserves healthy relationships and peaceful home, true havens from the challenges in this world.

Nehalem Dragonboat team finishes season with 2019 Montana Dragonboat Festival The Nehalem Wasabi Tiderunners dragonboat team finished the season successfully with a big trip to Big Fork, Montana for the 2019 Montana Dragonboat Festival. The race, which took place on Flathead Lake, included teams from Canada as well as the western US. The Wasabi Tiderunners team came in first place for the B Level division in the 200 Meter race, and finished an exciting second place in the Guts and Glory 1500 meter race. Coach and caller for the Tiderunners, Char Von Ahlefedt of Manzanita, said that the Guts and Glory race was a real highlight for the team despite

the second place finish.

“Our steersperson apologized to us because he said he came in a bit close to the buoy, so we lost a few points there,” but Von Ahlefeldt added that she was proud of the team because it was the longest distance they had ever paddled in a race.

Team members were also able to get some sightseeing in during the trip as it was so close to Glacier National Park.

“Glacier was really incredible,” said Von Ahlefeldt, noting that combining some dragonboat races with travel to new places is a goal of the team.

The team is winding down their season

now, although they can be found on the Nehalem River dodging fishing boats this time of year until the end of October at which time the team removes the dragonboat from the river for the winter. Von Ahlefedlt said that she will be focusing on team fitness this winter with gym practice and pool practice in January and February. The team will start river practices again in March.

Von Ahlefeldt will be convening a team meeting soon to plan for local and out of state races for the 2020 season.

Team members travel from their hometowns from up and down the North Coast,

workgroup will make policy recommendations for lawmakers to consider and implement.

Vaping a nationwide concern Federal health officials say 13 people have died in 10 states from vaping-related illnesses, and some media outlets are reporting higher fatality numbers. More than 800 cases of vaping-related illnesses have been reported in 46 states and one U.S. territory, primarily among youths and young adults. Those who have fallen ill in Oregon have been hospitalized after experiencing worsening symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough or chest pain.

A cause of the illnesses has not been determined, but all cases have reported e-cigarette use or vaping. Investigators and local public health authorities continue to urge clinicians to be on alert for signs of severe respiratory illness among patients and report any cases.

Vaping product bans are

also reportedly in the works in Washington, Michigan, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Federal officials have said cannabis vaping juice that was not purchased in stores was the most common factor in 514 severe lung injury cases recently analyzed.

State health officials are working with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration to determine the cause of deaths and illnesses in Oregon and across the nation.

Before the new illness reports, Oregon Health Authority was already concerned about the health risks of vaping products.

Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad hosts Save the No. 90 Fundraiser

Back to school special

and in 1964, was moved to Garibaldi. Once in Garibaldi, the #90 was placed on display as a tourist attraction and became a landmark of the town and county.

The Lions Club put the No. 90 up for sale in May and the OCSR bought it and were happy that they were able to keep it in Tillamook County.

The dinner is free of charge and includes a talk by noted logging railroad historian, Martin Hansen.

Wine and beer will be available for purchase. Donations by cash or card will be taken towards the end of the evening.

According to Rachel and Sam from the OCSR,

they are hoping to raise a “minimum of $75,000 and ideally over $100,000 for restoration.”

“We didn’t have money set aside for the project when we acquired it in May,” Sam said.

Admission is free, however, RSVPs are required at www.savethepolson90. org/2019-fundraiser.

“We are excited to get the community involved,” Rachel said.

Sam added that the No. 90 was in logging for 45 years but has been in Garibaldi for 55 years – half of its life.

“Our goal is to keep it in Tillamook County,” Sam said.

Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates edge Nestucca Bobcats 26-24 Cody Mann

Sept.27 home game, giving up less than 130 yards on the ground – of which 98 yards came in just two plays. Bennett said he is concerned with NeahKah-Nie’s tendency to give up big plays.

“Nestucca made some great plays and we just didn’t cover receivers correctly or tackle well,” Bennett said. “This has been the case all season for us.”

Bennett said the game could have gone either way, and catching some lucky breaks, including a couple of huge plays by Kelly, kept the Pirates in the game. He said the Bobcats are a wellcoached team, expected to be in the playoff hunt at the end of the season.

Bobcats Head Coach Tim Foster said it was a good game overall. He saw his team moving the ball on the ground and air as well as several big defensive stops. Untimely turnovers and penalties held Nestucca back though, giving Neah-Kah-Nie new life and extra opportunities – and Pirates capitalized on that.

Neah-Kah-Nie held their ground in a 26-24 home game against Nestucca Sept 27. The Pirates were already watching for what’s expected to be a fierce Bobcats defensive line this season.

Pirates Head Coach Chris Bennett said his offense needs to show a lot of improvement in the coming week if it wants to compete for a league title, noting the great job done by Bobcats beating his linemen off the ball. He added the running back Travis Bennett was mostly taking hits as he was receiving the handoff.

Bennett was very pleased Mychal Kelly’s efficiency at quarterback compared to the previous two games, Parker Hopkins is developing well at the running back position and Eric Lambert led the team in receiving with five catches for 50 yards. He highlighted a Destin Donaldson catch in double coverage for the final touchdown.

Defensively, the Pirates put up a tough front in the Friday,

every time the Bobcats started to gather momentum and had a chance to string together a couple scores, they would have a snap get away from them or miss an assignment, and they’d be looking at 3rd and 15, instead of 3rd and 3. He noted early missed opportunities to build a bigger lead.

“We had three turnovers in the second half, two in the 4th quarter alone, and then we ran out of time to come back,” Foster said. “If we had played a cleaner game, I think we would have walked out with a win.”

Cool, rainy weather across much of the state has allowed the first controlled burns to be lit in parts of Oregon. New rules governing smoke may allow more of these burns than in the past. Oregon Department of Forestry officials believe increasing the amount of burning will help landowners reduce the public safety risk from the buildup of fuels in forests and improve forest health.Known as prescribed fires, these regulated burns are lit when weather conditions will minimize smoke getting into smoke-sensitive receptor areas (SSRAs) and Class I wilderness areas, such as Crater Lake National Park.

According to ODF records, out of 2,964 units burned in 2018 only 18 – about half of one percent – resulted in smoke entering an SSRA. Although forest landowners with permits may be burn-

places where burning built-up woody fuels would improve public safety the most.”

Yonker expects that burners will now be more confident about starting burns when conditions are reasonable rather than only when they are perfect. “If the weather cooperates, a conservative estimate is that we might get from 10 percent to 20 percent more burning done than last fall.”

Yonker added that ODF is also educating forest landowners about the benefits of covering debris piles. “Our research has shown that woody piles covered with polyethylene sheets produce far less smoke than uncovered wet piles, which tend to smolder. So burners can burn more piles without adding to the overall volume of smoke,” he said. “An added benefit is that landowners can burn covered piles later into the

rainy season, since they stay dry enough to burn compared to uncovered Wpiles soaked by rain.”

Last year, controlled fires were set on 185,702 acres out of Oregon’s more than 30 million forested acres. That was about 16,000 acres above the 10-year annual average of 169,779 acres burned.

Estimates are that those fires burned almost 1.3 million tons of woody debris.

The weeks just before heavy fall rains set in are considered ideal for burning, since those rains and colder temperatures reduce the chance a burn will reignite and start a wildfire. To learn if a controlled burn is planned in your area, visit the Daily Burn Plans page on ODF’s website at http://www.odf. state.or.us/DIVISIONS/protection/fire_protection/Daily/ rptDailyPlans7A.pdf

ing in certain areas, the public should know that fire season may still be in effect where they live or camp, so check first before lighting backyard debris piles or making a campfire.

Yonker said, “The prescribed burns the public may see in coming weeks are done only when weather conditions are favorable for burning. We look to burn on days where air movement will disperse the smoke so public health is protected.”

New rules implemented this spring still require that burners not exceed federal air quality standards for particulate matter from smoke. But they no longer classify small amounts of smoke entering an SSRA as an intrusion.

“The old standard used to be zero visible smoke in an SSRA,” said Yonker. “This made it difficult to burn brush near populated areas, the very

The Neah-Kah-Nie (NKN) Pirates won Friday Oct. 4th’s away conference game against Portland Christian (PC) by a score of 44-0.

Mychal Kelly was 6 for 9 passing for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Kelly had seven carries for 140 yards.

Eric Lambert had two receptions for 49 yards and one touchdown. Travis Bennett had 16 carries for 132 yards and one touchdown. Freshman Parker Hopkins ran 26 times for 138.5 yards and one touchdown.

NKN held PC to just 64 yards of total offense on 37 plays. They completed seven passes for 97 yards but had23 yards rushing on the night.

“Our defensive line played very tough,” Head Coach Chris Bennett said.

Travis Bennett led the defense with a total of eight tackles. Jacob Waldron led with one and a half sacks. Jacob Waldron led with one and a half sacks, Kent Pieper and Travis Bennett each had two assisted sacks, along with Alex Kral with a half sack.

“Our pass defense is still our weakest part of our defense but is improving every week,” Coach Bennett said.

“Offensively I was very proud of our line.

They opened up huge holes throughout the night and really gave our backs some good rushing opportunities,” Bennett added.

“I was very proud of our effort on Friday night. We only punted 1 time and we’re able to keep P.C. out of the end zone,” Bennett said. “We will need to play our best football of the year this Friday night as Knappa comes to our place. They are a very tough, well-coached football team and have some explosive receivers along with the returning 1st team all-state quarterback.”
