Dialysis center closure leaves patients scrambling WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

W

hen U.S. Renal Care announced that it would be shuttering its Tillamook dialysis facility as of February 23, patients who rely on the life-sustaining care were surprised and immediately concerned about finding a new place to dialyze. As they began to inquire at nearby facilities, they found that their options were limited and concerns about transport and possible inaccessibility due to weather abound as some weigh discontinuing their care. “To me, they need to give us more time and definitely have a place,” said Anita Hanakahi, a patient at the center, “this unknown is driving all of us crazy and if we don’t have dialysis after four days you meet your maker.” U.S. Renal Care, a dialysis company based in Plano, Texas, announced the closure of the Tillamook center to patients on January 24, when they arrived for their regularly scheduled treatments. The Tillamook facility currently serves 11 patients, who spend between three and four and a half hours having toxins and excess fluid removed from their bloodstream three times weekly. In a statement, U.S. Renal Care Regional Vice President Brian Loveridge said the closure had been caused Medicare reimbursements for treatments not keeping up with inflation. Loveridge said that the company was “taking every measure to ensure our patients have access to the lifesaving care they

A group of dialysis patients and former and current dialysis clinic staff gathered at Denny’s to discuss options moving forward on February 1. Standing are former center manager Chip Fletcher, biomedical and renal technician Travis and patient Randy, while sitting are patients Anita Hanakahi, Mike Shreve, Katherine, name unknown, Marty, Sharon and John and former staff member Rebecca.

need.” However, multiple patients said that this had not been their experience and that the handling of the closure and transitioning of care has been frustrating and stressful from their perspectives. Sharon Shreve, whose husband

Mike Shreve is a patient at the center, said that when she called a dialysis center in Lincoln City operated by DaVita, a competing dialysis company, employees there told her they had heard nothing about the closure. Shreve said that the workers at the facility also told

her that they already had a waiting list of patients to be treated at their facility. That left a center in Astoria as the only other option on the north coast, but Shreve said that with summer traffic it was too far for her and her husband and that they

are now looking at centers in the Portland metro area. But for dialysis patients, many of whom suffer from significant other health problems and struggle with mobility, the prospect of travelling to Astoria or the valley thrice weekly is daunting. In ideal circumstances the drive to those centers takes around an hour and a half and between getting set up on the machine, completing treatment and being taken off the machine, patients spend at least four to five hours at the center, making for a seven- to eight-hour day. Sharon Gallino, another patient, also pointed out that after dialysis treatments she and other patients feel extremely drained, are often struggling with cramps and have to worry about bandages coming off and allowing blood to flow from access sites used during the dialysis process. Gallino said that when taken in combination, these factors meant that any patient driving after treatment would essentially be impaired. Even for those who have family or friends to help with drive, other secondary medical conditions make the thought of lengthy travel over rough roads challenging. Anita Hanakahi suffers from severe osteoporosis secondary to her kidney failure and has repeatedly suffered broken bones over the last several years. Hanakahi says that even routine car rides around Tillamook are painful and potentially risky and that travel to the valley forces her to take medication to manage the pain. “Going up and See DIALYSIS, Page A7

Commissioners approve tourism facilities grants WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook’s board of county commissioners awarded more than $550,000 to eight groups across the county for facility improvements at their meeting on January 31. The funding for the grants comes from the county’s transient lodging tax and will be used to improve tourism-related facilities. Nan Devlin, executive director of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, which manages the grant program for the county, appeared at the meeting to discuss the awards with commissioners. Awardees were selected from among 21 total applications for grant funding this year by the

county’s tourism advisory committee, which scored each applicant’s submission to make their selection. Originally, only $400,000 was allocated for the program in this year’s budget, but after two proposals tied, the committee decided to ask for an additional $71,000 in funding from the commissioners and to allow the use of $40,000 left over from last year. Commissioners agreed to the request, saying that transient lodging tax revenues have come in above projections in recent years but noting that if that was not the case this year, a commensurate reduction to next year’s grant awards would be necessary. The eight organizations chosen for the grants, in order of their

ranking by the tourism advisory committee, were the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, the Tillamook County Library Foundation, the Sitka Center for the Arts, the City of Rockaway Beach, the Tillamook YMCA, the Tillamook Air Museum, the City of Manzanita and the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce. Aside from the Sitka Center and Tillamook Chamber, each of the applicants was awarded the maximum $75,000. The scenic railroad will be putting their award towards ongoing work to upgrade their depot facilities in Garibaldi. The Tillamook County Library Foundation will use their funding for further improvements to the park adjacent to the main library in downtown Tilla-

mook that opened last summer. The Sitka Center for the Arts will use its award of just over $61,000 to upgrade their walkway and the City of Rockaway Beach will put the funding towards a new playground at the park on Anchor Street. Tillamook’s YMCA will be using its grant to replace the roof at the recently purchased Tillamook Bowling Alley on Third Street. The grant award will allow the air museum to upgrade its entrance, which was damaged in an incident of vandalism in the summer of 2023, to be ADA compliant. Manzanita will use the money it received to enhance the public restroom facilities at the new city hall that it is set to construct this year.

The Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce made a last-minute request to the county, submitting a letter on January 23, requesting $40,000 to help offset unforeseen costs that arose while renovating their meeting space. $30,000 of the funding will go towards helping to reconfigure a stairwell, replace a roof truss and improve their building’s water-intrusion problem, while the final $10,000 will go towards a roof replacement. The commissioners also approved the budgeted purchase of an almost $77,000 Chevrolet 2500 for use as a tow vehicle by the sheriff’s department and two Dodge Durango Pursuits for use as patrol vehicles, with a combined price of just under $89,000.

Tillamook Pioneer Museum reopens WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

After a monthlong closure in January, the Tillamook Pioneer Museum reopened with a free-admission day, historical lecture and reception on February 1. During the closure, the museum completed several projects, including the installation of a new exhibit, and staff said that work will continue updating museum spaces and exhibits. “It’s not a lot of public facing right now but basically, it’s going to open the doors for us to be able to do our jobs more easily and better so we can tackle some of the bigger exhibit revitalization projects we have in mind kicking off this year,” said Peyton Tracy, the museum’s executive director. In addition to adding the new exhibit on the museum’s main floor, the museum’s staff also used

January to reorganize the research library and redo the basement workshop space that they use for various projects. The work is part of an ongoing plan to eventually refresh each of the museum’s exhibits and shuffle their locations around to free up room for a classroom. Tracy said that she wanted the museum’s collection to be more accessible to children, noting that currently interpreting exhibits often requires staff help. Tracy said that updating the exhibits’ interpretative material would be part of revitalization efforts but that maintaining exhibits’ history was also important. “At this point, you have to treat the exhibit as an artifact,” Tracy said, “so, like some things you don’t want to change but I’d love to a better job sharing how much cool stuff we have.” See PIONEER, Page A9

Housing commission makes multi-family housing grant recommendations WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook County’s housing commission made recommendations to the county commissioners for awarding $400,000 from the county’s annual multi-family housing grant program. Commissioners unanimously recommended offering funding to six workforce and affordable housing

projects across the county and the board of county commissioners will now decide on the awards. In its inaugural year in 2023, the program offered $710,000 in funding to six projects, with federal funding supplementing the shortterm rental operator license fee that will support the program in this and subsequent years. Eight total applications were received for the grant

this year, with two projects in Bay City, two in Manzanita and one each in Tillamook and Rockaway Beach recommended for funding, while projects in Beaver and Bay City were not. The Seagull’s Rest development in Bay City was recommended to receive $100,000 in funding from the county after requesting $200,000. The funding will help to complete the construction of six two-bedroom duplexes in downtown Bay City that will be available to residents making between 80% and 120% of the area’s median income (AMI). The Hobsonville Point

project in Bay City plans to add 29 two-bedroom units in a mix of duplex, triplex and quadplex buildings affordable for residents making between 60% and 120% AMI. Developers requested $250,000 in funding and were recommended for $40,000. A project redeveloping the space above the TMobile store on First Street in downtown Tillamook was recommended for $70,000 in funding against an $80,000 request. The project is construction ready and will add four, two-bedroom apartments for people earning between 80% and 120% AMI.

Manzanita saw two projects recommended for funding and together they will represent the first workforce housing available in the city. Maker Manzanita plans to add 34 one-bedroom apartments that will be affordable to residents making between 80% and 120% AMI. The project’s developers requested $400,000 in grant funding and were recommended for an award of $50,000. The Manzanita Pines projects is even more ambitious, aiming to add 60 twoand three-bedroom apartments affordable to people making between 60% and 80% AMI. The project is

in pre-development and Tillamook County Housing Coordinator Parker Sammons said that receiving the county grant would allow the developers to access additional grant funding as well. The final project recommended for the award was a development in Rockaway Beach which plans to add four one- and two-bedroom units above a community kitchen space on Anchor Street. Those units will be affordable for residents making 80% AMI and the project was recommended for an award of $65,000 against an $80,000 request.

February is American Heart Month, a time for people to focus on their cardiovascular health. It’s particularly important for older adults, who are at the highest risk for heart disease. It’s the number one cause of death in older adults, and according to the American Heart Association (AHA), over 75% of Americans over the age of 60 have a form of cardiovascular disease, which can include heart failure, heart attacks, arrythmia, congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease and much more. However, there are a variety of ways older adults

can combat the risks of heart disease, starting with fitness. If you or a loved one is able, the best foot forward is… to move your feet forward! If fitness hasn’t been part of your life, or that of a loved one, walking is a great place to start, as studies show that older adults who take 4,500 steps per day are 77% less likely to experience a cardiovascular event than people who take fewer than 2,000 steps per day.

More than 20 public commenters appeared virtually at a listening session hosted by Oregon State Forester Cal Mukumoto to encourage the adoption of a new habitat conservation plan for western Oregon state forests on January 29. Many of the commenters spoke on behalf of or were members of conservation groups and said that while they would like to see more protections for endangered species, they felt the proposed plan was a good compromise. Mukumoto scheduled

the series of three listening sessions to gather public feedback in advance of making a recommendation on the adoption of a new habitat conservation plan (HCP) to the Oregon Board of Forestry at their March meeting. In addition to the virtual session, two in-person sessions were held in Eugene and Astoria. Mukumoto started the meeting by addressing the commenters who had signed up in advance, thanking them for taking time to participate in the process. He reminded the audience that the department of forestry must work within the framework of state and federal laws when

developing the HCP. Three questions were provided to help guide the discussion, asking how new modeling information released in December impacted perceptions of the HCP, what recommendations commenters would make to improve outcomes and what they thought the most important consideration was for a new HCP. After that, public commenters were given two minutes apiece to share their answers to those questions. A trend quickly emerged, with all but a handful of commenters calling for passage of a strong HCP, with many voicing support for scenario three, which would prioritize net present value over harvest levels. Commenters representing Oregon Trout Unlimited, Portland Audubon and the Wild Salmon Center all said that the plan was a step in the right direction towards cold, clear streams but noted that they would like to see more protections added. They mentioned a desire to

see larger riparian protection areas around streams and buffers added to headwater streams. Other public commenters echoed these sentiments and many also mentioned the impacts of clearcut logging on local watersheds as another concern. Several mentioned the economic impacts timber harvest reductions under the new plan would have on counties and said that their budgets should be secure and not reliant on timber revenues, but no alternatives were mentioned. Laura Wilkeson, Hampton Lumber’s state forest policy director, was one of the few dissenting voices at the meeting, calling on Mukumoto to consider the plan’s economic impacts more carefully before recommending passage. Tillamook County Commissioner Doug Olson asked Mukumoto to try to find a balance between the conservational goals of the plan and the economic impacts on the counties.

Cape Kiwanda sinkholes now a tourist attraction

Two large sinkholes discovered at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City continue to grow, according to new details from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). The soil appears to be falling into large, unstable voids beneath the cliff caused by strong ocean waves. The first sinkhole, discovered in late January 2023, measured about 25 feet across and 15 feet deep. Park rangers placed a safety fence around the sinkhole. A second sinkhole, discovered in early May, is about 10 inches away from the first, and measures about 10 feet across and about 30 feet deep. That sinkhole developed within the safety fence of the first sinkhole in the northwest corner of the lower dune. Cape Kiwanda is a sandstone outcropping, which is naturally much weaker and prone to sudden changes compared with hardier rock like basalt. While any natural area carries risk, enjoying Cape Kiwanda safely requires visitors to pay special attention, according to the OPRD. The Lincoln County Leader has reached out to OPRD’s representative Stefanie Knowlton for insight

Lincoln County Leader: At this point, have any other sink holes occurred and have the original holes gotten larger?

Knowlton: OPRD is taking the following safety measures:

Lincoln County Leader: What has been the cost of the Cape Kiwanda State

Stefanie Knowlton: As far as we know, no other sinkholes have formed anywhere at Cape Kiwanda. The two original sinkholes continue to change, however. Over the summer, the sinkholes seemingly filled in with sand moved by the wind. This fall and winter, the sinkholes have continued to grow wider and deeper. Lincoln County Leader: We understand a report was developed following the discovery of the sink holes. What has the OPRD learned about the cause of the holes? Knowlton: From the report, we learned the sinkholes were likely formed by runoff water pooling and eroding the rock underneath the sand and creating a void, according to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries report from October 2023. There is also a large cave system under that part of the cape that will eventually fail due to water erosion. Lincoln County Leader:

• Moved the fence line more than 50 feet south of the sinkholes, which exceeds the DOGAMI recommendation. • Installed signs warning visitors to stay back. • Increased monitoring of the area. • Talking to visitors about safety and respecting the fence boundaries. Lincoln County Leader: Is the risk of more sinkage enough so that the dunes area would have to be closed to the public? Knowlton: The hazard near the sinkholes is isolated to this specific location. However, conditions could change as the entire cape is a dynamic environment. We will continue to monitor the changing landscape closely in consultation with DOGAMI and adjust safety precautions as necessary.

Knowlton: It cost roughly $2,000 to move the permanent fence line (we were able to repurpose portions of the old fence), a few hundred dollars to make and post safety signs and ongoing costs for additional monitoring by park staff.

Oregon Supreme Court bars Republican senators who participated in walkout from reelection JULIA SHUMWAY Oregon Capital Chronicle

Republican senators who participated in the longest walkout in state history cannot seek reelection in 2024 or 2026, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled Thursday. In a unanimous decision, the court rejected arguments from five Republican senators that Measure 113, a voterapproved 2022 law meant to dissuade lawmakers from walking out and shutting down the legislative process, was poorly worded and would give them another term in office. Instead, the court agreed with state attorneys, who urged jus-

tices to consider voters’ intent with the 2022 law, which bars any lawmaker with 10 or more unexcused absences from serving another term. “Because the text is capable of supporting the secretary’s interpretation, and considering the clear import of the ballot title and explanatory statement in this case, we agree with the secretary that voters would have understood the amendment to mean that a legislator with 10 or more unexcused absences during a legislative session would be disqualified from holding legislative office during the immediate next term, rather than the term after that,” the ruling said.

The ruling means 10 Republican senators – one-third of the Senate – are ineligible for reelection. Two of the 10, Sens. Bill Hansell of Athena and Lynn Findley of Vale, already planned to retire. Four others – Sens. Daniel Bonham of The Dalles, Cedric Hayden of Fall Creek, Kim Thatcher of Keizer and Suzanne Weber of Tillamook – were elected to four-year terms in 2022 and will serve until January 2027. And four, including Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-Bend, must end their Senate careers – at least temporarily – in January. Knopp and Sens. Brian Boquist of Dallas, Dennis Linthicum of Klamath Falls and Art Robinson of Cave Junction all tried to file for reelection last year and were waiting on the outcome of the court case. Each previously designated a successor if they were barred from running. Robinson and Linthicum chose family members: Robinson’s son Noah and Linthicum’s wife, Diane, both filed for office last year. Dundee City Councilor and former Republican lawmaker Bruce Starr, a Boquist supporter, filed to run for Boquist’s seat. And Knopp earlier this month endorsed Shannon Monihan, executive director of the Downtown Bend Business Association, to run in his stead. The ruling has immediate implications for the upcom-

ing legislative session, which begins Monday. Democrats need at least three Republican senators to show up each day to conduct business because of the Legislature’s two-thirds quorum requirement, and Knopp told reporters Wednesday that Democrats would need to entice lame-duck Republicans to participate if the Supreme Court ruled against them. “If the court sides with us, it’s a clear victory,” Knopp said. “If it doesn’t, I think we still win because our members literally have no reason to show up, and so in order for them to show up, they’re going to want to see that they’re going to be able to make a difference.” Thirteen words The lawsuit depended on how justices would interpret just 13 words of the 2022 law, which stated that lawmakers with 10 or more unexcused absences would be ineligible for office “for the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed.” Legislative terms end the January following a November election, so the Republican senators who sued argued that the six senators who participated in the walkout and were up for election in 2024 would be allowed to run in 2024. Their current terms end in January

2025, so they argued that they would be ineligible to run in 2028. “The text of the amendment does not unambiguously support either interpretation,” the court’s opinion said. “The text would more clearly support petitioners’ reading – and weaken the secretary’s reading – if it referred to ‘the term following the election [that occurs] after the member’s current term is completed.’” With ambiguous language, the Supreme Court looked at the materials voters saw when they made their decision in 2022: the ballot title and stateissued voters’ pamphlet. The attorney general drafts a ballot title, including a 15word caption and summary of what a “yes” and “no” vote will mean, for each initiative that goes before voters. Ballots have to include that summary, not the actual text of a proposed law or constitutional amendment. For the walkout measure, the caption read: “Legislators with 10 unexcused absences from floor sessions disqualified from holding next term of office.” And it described the results of a “yes” vote as disqualifying legislators with 10 unexcused absences “from holding office for term following current term of office.” The voters’ pamphlet similarly described the measure similarly, as did contemporary

news coverage. Linthicum, one of the senators involved in the lawsuit, was part of a bipartisan committee that crafted a 500-word explanatory statement for the voters’ pamphlet. “Reading the text of the amendment in light of the ballot title and the voters’ pamphlet, voters would have understood the disqualification to apply to the term of office immediately following the term in which a legislator accrued or more unexcused absences,” the justices wrote. Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade thanked the court for providing clarity. “I’ve said from the beginning my intention was to support the will of the voters,” she said in a statement. “It was clear to me that voters intended for legislators with a certain number of absences in a legislative session to be immediately disqualified from seeking reelection.” Republicans slam decision, others celebrate Knopp and fellow senators were quick to criticize the decision, and slam the Supreme Court as “Democrat-stacked.” Every justice who participated in the decision was appointed by former Democratic Gov. Kate Brown. (Justice Aruna Masih, appointed by Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek, sat out the decision.) “I’m disappointed but can’t say I’m surprised that a court of judges appointed solely by Governor Brown and Governor Kotek would rule in favor of political rhetoric rather than their own precedent,” Weber said. “The only winners in this case are Democrat politicians and their union backers.” Knopp said senators obviously disagree with the ruling, adding “But more importantly, we are deeply disturbed by the chilling impact this decision will have to crush dissent.” And Bonham said every lawyer he’s heard from, regardless of political leanings, agreed with the senators’ position. “The language incorporated into the Oregon constitution was clear and yet the Supreme Court ruled that voter intent, which cannot be determined by any metric, supersedes the constitution,” he said. “There is no justice in a political court.” The union leaders who backed Measure 113 praised the ruling. Andrea KennedySmith, public sector vice president of Service Employees International Union Local 503, described the lawsuit as a “frivolous legal challenge. “This ruling upholds the intent of Oregon voters; politicians need to do their jobs or lose their jobs,” she said. “They need to play by the same rules as everyone else. We appreciate the Oregon Supreme Court’s justices for taking up and resolving this frivolous legal challenge.” Reed Scott-Schwalbach, president of the Oregon Education Association, added that voters across the political spectrum supported Measure 113. “These senators didn’t just walk away from their jobs, they walked away from Oregon students who rely on the Legislature to function and the thousands of Oregonians who clearly said that we expect politicians to show up and keep our state moving forward,” Scott-Schwalbach said. A separate federal court challenge is continuing, though a federal judge in December denied a preliminary injunction that would have allowed Boquist, Linthicum and Hayden to run for reelection. Hayden, a Seventh-day Adventist who doesn’t work Saturdays because of his religious beliefs, has also filed a workplace complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, and that investigation will conclude by May.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Greed and beach access

“Greed is Good” was a bumper sticker I saw on the back of a red Porsche in the 1980’s and it appears the sentiment is gaining momentum again on the Oregon coast. The recent articles in the Headlight Herald on short-term rentals, the closing of beach access (the recreational immunity question) and the fees for parking at state and county parks are creating a beaches for the rich mentality. Oregon Governors Tom McCall and Oswald West would roll over in their graves if they could see

what is happening on the Oregon coast today. As a fourth generation Oregonian, I remember my dad telling me about how state parks were funded by the gasoline tax and were free for all. The rangers were respected and sought out for their expertise and local knowledge, unlike the camp host programs of today. Firewood was brought to your campsite, not sold in little bundles, and trash cans were located at restops and overlooks to keep our state the jewel that it is. We as Oregonians must go into the future with an

“Oregon for all” mentality by not charging for parking at our parks, which many families can’t afford. Not limiting acess to the beaches protected by the Oregon Beach Bill of 1967 and looking the other way with a snicker because we have beach front property. I cringe at the throught of a septic system meant for a single family being used by 20 people. We must limit short-term rentals and keep housing affordable or who will be cleaning the rentals? Greg Gosser Rockaway Beach

Trying to see: All of us who live

I greatly appreciate the written contributions made to our communities by two very thoughtful people, Jim Heffernan and Neal Lemery. They attempt to help us think, look within ourselves, and no longer take part in the bitter political animosity which is seeping into so many aspects of our lives. They propose that we reflect, develop a desire to appreciate the mysteries of life, and to honor other people’s ability to grow in a good direction to benefit themselves and the world. Our inner growth should never end while we are alive, yet such a wondrous phenomenon seems all too uncommon among us right now. The percentage of American voters who call themselves “Independent” rose to 49% in 2023, with the two major political parties roughly splitting the other 50 % of the electorate. People who think more broadly about life have abandoned both parties’ willful ignorance. They realize that hardline “Progressives” and “Conser-

vatives” (left-wingers and right-wingers) have given up on seeking truth. Instead, they have wrapped themselves in whatever simple dogmas their tribe considers righteous. Their minds are shuttered against the other side’s ideas, certain that they never have any useful ones. Individuals and groups who indulge themselves this way should be embarrassed by their folly. In life, thoughtful reflection and accumulation of useful experience combine over time to give us greater faith in life’s processes and in each other. But that faith depends on our desire to be observant and remain open to new insights. Too often, as time passes, we abandon that effort. The messages we receive from TV news and social media are neither objective nor accidental, and their effect fosters the closure of our minds. Cunning people spend great effort to shape our thinking. MSNBC, FOX News, TikTok, X, a hundred thousand bloggers and podcasters find

us or we find them. Each source tells us what we want to hear: Trump is a wannabe evil dictator; Biden is corrupt and senile—plus a thousand other carefully crafted messages. Rightwingers are resentful of the “elites,” those whom they feel are privileged with education, position, and power. Left-wingers are contemptuous of those whom they feel are ignorant and prejudiced, belligerent and prone to violence. Neither camp perceives even a glimmer of human merit over there on the other side. These simple-minded stereotypes, so easily absorbed by our lazy minds, do great

damage to us personally by jacking up our bitter feelings of contempt. On a national scale, not only have our stuck-in-stereotype minds contributed to political gridlock, but they have damaged families and whole communities. People have shrunk in upon themselves, nestling only among “trusted” friends: those who like the same talking heads on the same TV news outlets and other media. We could consider living differently, cultivating curiosity about why other people believe as they do about politics, religion, social media, immigration, about their community, about their lives. We can read a lot in strangers’ faces, and could become more acutely aware of other people’s pains and joys, pleasures and losses, and so gain more empathy for them. In doing so, we help ourselves and the world. In feeling curious about others, in seeing what is written in their eyes, each of us helps foster our own transformation as a person. Our

smug, self-righteous judgments drain away. We realize how isolated we often are from one another, how little we really know about each other, yet how many common experiences we share in this mortal life. One small example: author James Joyce wrote a great story, “The Dead,” in which snow continues to fall as a husband and wife arrive at their hotel late at night after a Christmas party in Dublin, Ireland. Gabriel, a kind-hearted but complacent husband, hopes to make love to his wife, Gretta. They get ready for bed, but she is melancholy from having heard a certain song at the party earlier. He questions her and she breaks down crying, telling him the song reminded her of a young man, Michael, whom she loved long ago, before she met and married Gabriel. Michael used to sing that song to her. This is news to Gabriel, and his reaction is disappointment and quiet jealousy. He questions Gretta, bitterly

asking if she would still like to see this man. But she informs him that Michael died of an illness when he and Gretta both were just seventeen. Finally in bed and exhausted, Gretta drifts into sleep. Gabriel climbs quietly in beside her. He gazes at her face, listens to her soft breathing, wonders at life’s mystery and how little he knows of what is in his wife’s heart. Humbled by the new knowledge of her having loved another man before him, his thoughts are at first confused, but then drift quietly toward understanding. As Gabriel becomes drowsy, snowflakes tap at their window, and his last sense before sleep is a vision of snow falling all across Ireland on this cold winter night, and on a hilltop cemetery where the snow falls softly on the crosses and headstones, and on the grave of Michael, his wife’s first love, who lies there alone. So many things we do not know, even about those who are closest to us.

Chambers of Commerce. The idea is to highlight the two cities’ respective strengths for the summer tourist season. Said Chamber president Kristine Hayes, “We have the lodging, they have the fishing.” The plans call for Rockaway Beach participation in the Garibaldi Days Parade, taking place over

the weekend of July 19-21, 2024. “It would be nice to have floats from our businesses in the Garibaldi Days parade,” Hayes added. Rockaway Beach has always gone all-out in creative and beautiful floats for our 4th of July parade, with the magnificent Peter Pan pirate ship taking top

honors in 2023. This would be an additional opportunity to show off these creations. Beginning shortly, the Chamber’s Historic Caboose will be receiving a much-needed makeover to its grounds. The installation of pavers will begin March 4. Construction is expected to be completed before the

end of the month. This project, made possible by a grant from Travel Oregon, will make the area on all sides of the Caboose level and smooth, especially important for wheelchair users. This dovetails with the planned construction of

e expected to see more traffic on Bayocean Road as the South Jetty repair project got underway. What we didn’t anticipate was a 60-foot truck and trailer in the ditch where Bayocean Road meets the dike road. The truck driver must have swung wide to get his big rig around that tight corner onto the dike road, but he apparently misjudged. The trailer, complete with its load of heavy equipment, slid partway into the ditch. The road was obstructed for only about two hours, but it might foreshadow other unusual situations as we undergo two years of jetty repair. The Hawaiian-themed

January potluck at the Barbara Bennett Community Center was a great success. Thirty-six individuals turned out, many in Hawaiian shirts or muumuus, to enjoy fabulous eats and good comradery. Entrées covered the spectrum, from Waikiki chicken and pulled pork to lasagna and meatballs. Sides were rice, rolls, baked beans, green and pasta salads, roasted vegetables and stuffed mushrooms. Desserts featured a chocolate Oreo confection, peanut butter cookies and a couple of berry pastries. Hosts Pam Robenolt and Sean Kohles had put up a Hawaiian wall poster to serve as a backdrop for photos; what a fabulous

I can tell you right now, it’s a little surf, and a little turf, and a lot of, “Oh, that’s good.” First course choices include prawn cocktail, Kahlua pork belly, crab mushrooms, oysters Rockefeller or crab cakes. Second course choices include the return of the prime rib, whiskey peppercorn sirloin meat and sea, chicken Oscar, Dungeness crab pot, portobello mushroom and spinach pastry, and seafood fettuccine Neptune. Chocolate or strawberry mousse and bananas foster for dessert. Items subject to change, but I’m guessing small changes at best. I can almost hear N. E.

Cape Meares Lake looked high and water was pooling on Bayocean Road, yet no rain event explained this phenomenon. Concerned neighbors notified the Sherriff’s Office, who in turn contacted Tillamook Public Works. Several vehicles and heavy equipment were out early the next morning. They found that the stoppage was at the east end of the lake, where a recycling bin lodged in the culvert that drains water from the lake into Tillamook Bay was severely impeding the flow. It wasn’t easy, but county workers finally dislodged the offending trash can and took it away. Thanks to all who participated in

recognizing and fixing this problem. There will be a Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA) meeting on February 10 at the Barbara Bennett Community Center. The session will begin promptly at 10 a.m. The first half of the meeting will be updates on current projects. The second half will focus on Cape Meares Lake. Simone Goldfeder and Miriam Fultz will give a presentation on the past, present and future of the lake, drawing on their research on the hydrology and geology of the lake and wetlands. The session will include a summary of the CMCA Lake Management Committee’s

progress since September 2023. Please join us this Saturday. Good news to report on the Watershed Conservancy Project. This complex undertaking has overcome yet another hurdle, with the regional office of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service giving the green light to plan an expansion of the Cape Meares Refuge that would include the Grimm property and CMCA’s forest property. The latest progress report is posted on CMCA’s website at https://capemeares.org/community. King tides will make their final appearance for this winter season February 8-10. Be safe out there.

after this post’s deadline. If I find those or hear about them before next Thursday, I’ll pass them along. For me, in addition to all these, I’m also eyeing the chocolatier in town, BigShus Chocolates. It’s located in the little building where the old Parkside Coffee Shop was, 235 Garibaldi Avenue, bay side of U.S. 101 between 2nd & 3rd St. They have an online store in-store pickup and a host of delicious items including variety boxes, lemon chocolates, pink Himalayan sea-salted peanut brittle and more. I haven’t been in yet (as it goes with the life of twin toddlers), but I’ve talked with a couple business folks who have nothing but incredible things to say about the store, the chocolates, and the owner, Patrick Shuman. Given all my wife has been enduring these last

couple weeks, a week-long business trips, marathon council meetings, and more, the least I can get her is a box of chocolates. To see the online store for yourself, check out https:// www.bigshuschocolates. com/ She herself passes out Valentine’s Day chocolates of kindness when everybody else is passing out cards. She’s everybody’s favorite local librarian, June Ekborg: “The February Food Drive is under way. Folks can bring donations by anytime during regular library hours. There is still time to school-aged kids to register for the Chess for Success Regional Tournament this coming Saturday. We now have federal tax forms and instructions available at the Garibaldi Branch Library. State tax

Scheduled appointments are filling up quickly, so call the Reference Desk at Tillamook Main Library (503-842-4792) soon to reserve your spot.” Lastly, a shoutout to Suzanne Weber for all her support to Garibaldi through the years. Within the final hours of this post’s deadline, the news broke that her time as a state senator appears to be limited, at this time, to just one term. Garibaldi is not on the road to recovery without Suzanne’s unwavering support. We Garibaldians hope this is but a setback, a mere pothole in what remains a long road ahead of nothing but continued civic good.

at the Wayside. August will see a return of our Arts and Crafts Fair to the Wayside, with August 2-4 set aside on the calendar. This always-popular event highlights Rockaway artists and creators, including members of our Rockaway Renaissance Artists group as well as other painters, sculptors, fabric artists and more. The Thursday Artisan Craft Market will be returning as well, with a soft opening (as last year) on Thursday, May 9. As in 2023, the Thursday market format avoids competing with other local farmers’ markets and provides the opportunity for visitors to extend a weekend trip. The market opens in earnest in June, with Thursday dates on the 6th, 12th, 20th and 27th. July dates are the 11th, 18th and 25th (the first Thursday in July is the 4th, and the Wayside will be occupied for our traditional fireworks display). August dates are the 1st, 8th, 22nd and 29th. The weekly market runs through September, on the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th. At present, the market plans to be open from 3-7

p.m. This gives visitors the chance to have dinner after shopping. The Rockaway Friends of the Library announced the date of the annual usedbook sale, Saturday, July 6, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. As always, our library will share in the presentations and programs offered by the Tillamook County Library district. Presentations in the past have included musical performances, magic shows and more. In addition to the monthly kids’ presentations, the library is planning quarterly events for teens and adults. Check the Friends of the Rockaway Beach Library website for upcoming events, at https://www. friendsrblibrary.org/events. This month there is a fun Lego Building Challenge on February 10 from 2-3 p.m. for kids aged 3 to 12. The library is located at 120 N Coral Street. One more schedule note for the library: the Rockaway Renaissance Artists will continue to provide new works in the library every six weeks. The most recent display includes magnificent nature photography by Chris Williams.

Compassion Clinic coming to Tillamook

Bethel Mae Douma Underhill 1928 ~ Jan. 24, 2024

Bethel Mae Douma Underhill passed away on January 24, 2024, at Adventist Health Tillamook hospital, surrounded by many family members. Bethel was born in 1928, in Tillamook, Oregon to Jake and Elmira (Edwards) Douma. They moved to Wheeler when Bethel was two months old. She attended Wheeler Grade School and High School. She attended the University of Oregon for a short time before returning home to work in her parents’ grocery store, Douma’s Market. She met the love of her life, Lawrence, when she was just 18, and they were married in 1947. Bethel was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great great grandmother and friend. She had a Christian heart, and was strong, kind, caring and compassionate to each and every one she met, knew and befriended. She truly made a difference, and her legacy will be that of treating everyone with kindness and caring; always there to help with what needed to be done. She will live in our hearts and memories always. Bethel loved to take in God’s beauty through travel, watching Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain, Rock Mountain, the elk, deer, birds, cattle, trees and events that occurred outside of her home picture window. She considered family, friends, visits, phone calls, trips and connections always a gift. She knew where those gifts came from; and was thank-

ful and treasured each one. She loved to hear about how everyone was doing; and she always said, “If you see anyone I know, please tell them Hello for me.” Bethel worked side by side as a partner with husband Lawrence initially with TV repair as an interest, while he was also a timber faller. Later moving with their tjree children from Foss Road to Underhill Lane in Nehalem. They built and owned Underhill TV Cable System which served the Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler area until they sold the system in 1986. They owned and managed Underhill Plaza in Manzanita for several decades; as grocery store, business shops, rental space, etc. Bethel is survived by her 3 children Velda Handler of Nehalem, Lynn Underhill of Tualatin, and D.W. Underhill of Bethany; 4 grandchildren, Chad Handler, Elkie Underhill, Bekah (Jim) Barnett, Jason Underhill, 11 Great Grandchildren and 5 Great

Great Grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by husband Lawrence. Lawrence and Bethel traveled in their RV with friends and enjoyed their adventures. Lawrence passed away in 2005 after 58 years of marriage. Bethel volunteered at the Hope Chest Thrift Shop, where she worked until 2015. She donated 100+ hand knitted and crocheted Afghans to Adventist Health Hospital in Tillamook for the “Cover Me with Care” End of Life program for more than 25 years. Bethel was a member of Manzanita Calvary Bible Church, and she loved her church family. She was a wonderful cook, and made amazing pies, cookies, and all…. A celebration of life is planned for April. In lieu of flowers, she requested any donations be made to the local “Hope Chest” - Mailing Address: PO Box 204 Rockaway Beach, Or 97136, or another Charity of Your Choice.

She loves our Heavenly Father, and we know she is at eternal Peace in her Forever Home in Glory. Sharing a favorite verse: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26.

LaQuieta May Baker (Casey) Feb. 2, 1936 ~ Jan. 3, 2024

LaQuieta May Baker (Casey) passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 3, 2024, at her home in Garibaldi, Oregon. She was 87 years old. LaQuieta was born to Chester and Edna Casey on February 2, 1936, in Long Beach, California. She was the third of four children, having two older brothers and a younger sister. Due to LaQuieta’s severe asthma, the family eventually moved to McMinnville, Oregon where they purchased a farm. She graduated from McMinnville High School in 1953. Several years later she was working as a receptionist when she was introduced to a handsome fellow by his mother who was intent on matchmaking the two. As they say, the rest is history. They fell in love and she married her true love Guvner Baker while he was stationed in Astoria, serving in the Coast Guard. LaQuieta and Guv were married close to 67 years and raised three children; Kelley Irene (1958), William Harlow (1961) and Mollie Kay (1964). For many years they owned and operated multiple Dairy Queen businesses, eventually building their last store in Garibaldi. LaQuieta and Guv worked

side by side most of their adult lives until the grandchildren started arriving. She was an amazing grandmother. Her grandkids were her greatest joy and she adored nothing more than having the opportunity to spend time with and care for them. LaQuieta also enjoyed and was very talented at gardening, crafting and dabbling in painting but one of her favorite pastimes was finding “treasures” at garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores, then bringing said “treasures” home, much to Guv’s dismay. LaQuieta volunteered with Tillamook County Faith in Action for many years and was an active member of the North Coast

Christian Church from the 1970’s until her death. She loved Jesus with all her heart and was always quick to help anyone who had need. Her warm smile, big hugs and kind heart will be greatly missed by all who knew her. LaQuieta is survived by her sister Peg Bartell; three children, Kelley VanAcker (John), William Baker and Mollie Reding (Michael); four grandchildren who she adored, Tyler VanAcker (Maria), Kelsey Baker (Cody Addison), Lindsay Henry (Todd) and Emily Rothweiler (Ryan) followed by two greatgrandsons that she was so proud of Ezekiel Henry and Harlow VanAcker. As a family we would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to her caregivers Kimber, Monica and Shannon who provided wonderful loving support and care in LaQuieta’s final days. A service will be held 11:30 a.m. Saturday, February 24, at the North Coast Christian Church in Garibaldi with a light luncheon to follow immediately after the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory be made to Adventist Health Hospice, PO Box 188, Tillamook OR.

Deanna Verna Hoelz

April 28, 1938 ~ Jan. 16, 2024 Deanna Verna Hoelz was born April 28, 1938. She passed away Jan. 16, 2024, after a 40-year battle against diabetes. Our family and close friends called her Danny. Her uncle gave her that name from the actress Deanna Durbin.

Danny gave birth to four sons and one daughter. Two sons predeceased her. We hope she is hugging them now. Danny was married to David for 67 years and leaves him behind. She was a devoted and loyal wife and a caring, accomplished

mother. She was a gifted quilter and a fantastic cook. She was the very best friend to many people. She had many grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She will be missed every day by many.

on and are organizing teams to provide free care for those in our community that need it.

Dialysis

a lot of weigh-in from the medical specialists, and that’s the way the medical system works in our country,” Kassakian said. Kassakian said that Northwest Renal Care manages centers owned by both DaVita and Fresenius and would be willing to partner with either company to continue the Tillamook center’s operations. She repeatedly emphasized that her clinic had a history of serving patients on the coast and that they were committed to making sure the patients in Tillamook had a plan of care going forward, whether it be with them or another provider. “Our practice is committed to our patients no matter where they dialyze, no matter what their resources are and we’re working hard to help them navigate this tremendous hardship,” Kassakian said. Patients and their families are still working to find alternative support for continuing dialysis operations in Tillamook, reaching out to elected officials and charitable organizations around the region. The patients interviewed for this article said that

they would find a way to continue their care, but that they worried about some of their compatriots who have been considering discontinuing care and choosing to end their life. “So, now this becomes a death sentence” Hanakahi said. The patients and family members also emphasized that the effects of the closure would ripple through the community, affecting the family members and friends of the patients. “This is my husband’s life and it affects me and my family and every other patient here and their families,” Shreve said, “it’s not just the 11 people on dialysis.” Hanakahi said that she hoped the community would “make a racket” and help to prevent the complete withdrawal of dialysis services from the county. She said that even though life on dialysis was a struggle, she still found meaning and purpose and hated to think that her fellow patients were considering giving up the fight. “My life might not seem like it’s great to somebody, but every day is a gift and I have a purpose and something to do,” Hanakahi said.

center closure leaves patients scrambling From Page A1

down ninth street where I live is a challenge but going over the hill is an even bigger challenge,” Hanakahi said. Gallino also brought up the question of how patients would access care during emergent weather events like the ice storm that occurred in January and closed access to the valley for most of a week. “Any way you look at it, we’re in the mountains and we have to travel over those mountains and they close,” Gallino said. Eric Swanson, president of Adventist Health Tillamook, said that the hospital has reached out to the two other major dialysis companies, Fresenius Medical Care and DaVita, to discuss taking over the space currently leased by U.S. Renal to continue offering dialysis care in Tillamook. He also said that the team at Adventist would discuss the possibility of adding acute care capabilities at the hospital to care for patients in emergent situations. Dr. Claire Kassakian, the medical director of the clinic, said that the week since the closure’s announcement had been emotionally draining and that she was deeply concerned for her patients. Kassakian said that while her practice, Northwest Renal Clinic, was responsible for the medical aspects of the clinic, they had not had input in the closure. She did note that contacts at U.S. Renal had communicated about the center’s struggling finances and potential closure over the past year as they sought support from the state to continue operating center but said that it was frustrating to see her patients’ lives upended. “These are decisions that companies are making and they’re being made without

Cheesemaker swimmers wrap regular season

come up and talk about how impressed they are with the Tillamook swim team and the improvement they have seen throughout the year. Brandon exemplifies what this program is about, swimmers being willing to do what it takes to be successful and giving great efforts day in and day out along the way. Other highlights included Sappington’s double win in the 50 free and 100 breaststroke, both personal records. He beat a Silverton swimmer who was undefeated on the season in the event. Munly finished in third in the 100 backstroke in another personal record on the year. Wyatt Swart had a huge time in the 200 IM today dropping under 3 minutes in only his second attempt. Diego Velazquez, Cyrus Werner, Tristan Valencia, Ethan Jackson all had multiple personal records on the day and are providing much needed depth moving into February’s important meets.

DAVID RICHMOND Tillamook High School Swim Coach

Saturday’s Blanchet Invitational at the Kroc Center in Salem marked the end of the regular season for the Tillamook swim team. Members of the team gave their latest best efforts in the pool and now set their sights on the championship portion of the season. Starting Friday, February 2, at the Tillamook YMCA, the Cheesemakers will host their Cowapa League rivals for what looks to be a very exciting meet (results not available at press time). In Salem, the Cheesemakers faced seven other teams and saw improvement up and down the lineup heading into February. I was really hoping for a big meet with excellent times and I thought we got them. The Tillamook boy’s medley team of Landon Munly, Jack Sappington, Wyatt Swart and Brandon Hudgeon started

the meet off with a bang. Munly swam his best lead-off leg of the season and got the team off and into first before handing it over to Sappington who holds one of the best times in the state in the breaststroke. Wyatt Swart did his job and swam a strong leg, but a Molalla swimmer passed him prior to Hudgeon taking the reins. Hudgeon raced down the the pool, passed the Molalla swimmer and comfort-

before the relay. Hudgeon has been taken his sprinting to the next level. Last week at the Molalla Invitational he was down 15 yards in his relay leg and brought the team back to give Sappington a slight lead and the team finished 2nd overall in the 13 team invite and beat third place by six seconds. Tuesday night in Astoria Hudgeon made up 18 of a 20-yard deficit and the team fell just short.

ably won by almost 2 seconds. It was his fastest anchor leg of the season. Hudgeon has shown a propensity for big comebacks this season, especially over the last few weeks. While Hudgeon has carried the anchor leg on the medley all season, we found that moving him to third on the 400 relay made more sense, so Sappington has more of a rest as she swims the 100 breaststroke immediately

However, he found himself in a big hole again at Blanchet, this time to District 3 counterpart Taft. Hudgeon came storming back from twenty yards and pulled within a yard of the Taft swimmer before Sappington finished the comeback and bested Taft’s star swimmer by almost a second. It’s the kind of effort that is getting people’s attention, not just for Brandon, but for the team. Coaches continue to

Tillamook County 4-H standouts shine at National Championship Against Youth from 18 States In a remarkable display of talent and dedication, three Tillamook County 4-H members Dannika Goss, Jay Johansen, and Karsten Johansen – excelled at the 4-H Family and Consumer Science National Championship in San Antonio, Texas. Competing against peers from 18 states, these young individuals were part of the Oregon 4-H team, consisting of eight members. Reflecting on the event Dannika stated “This opportunity was a memory that I will never forget. Over these past years I have been involved with 4-H doing animals, cooking competitions, canning, and fashion revue. One thing that I love

about doing fashion revue is that I get to make clothes that fit my personality and actually fits me.” Dannika Goss, from Tillamook, showcased her skill in Fashion Revue Constructed Item, securing 5th place in modeling and overall. Jay Johansen, from Bay City, paralleled this success with a 5th place in modeling and overall, in Fashion Revue Purchased Item. Karsten Johansen, also from Bay City, earned a praiseworthy 5th in the Skill-a-thon contest. Discussing the impact of the event Jay stated “I am so thankful for the opportunity to compete at the 4-H FCS Nationals. Last year, I went with the FCS team, and this

year I was honored to compete again in the purchased category of Fashion Revue. Nationals is an amazing opportunity to meet with other 4-H members from across the state and nation: I made many friends while there.” The National Contest, far more than a contest, it is a holistic educational experience promoting critical thinking, teamwork, and independence. It provides a platform for youth from various backgrounds to engage in educational sessions, community service activities, and social interactions, thereby fostering citizenship and life skills. When asked about the educational impact of

the event Karsten said “I learned a number of life skills through 4-H, including public speaking and how to make informed decisions about buying household items.” Tillamook County 4-H is exceptionally proud of Dannika, Jay, and Karsten for their outstanding achievements and representation of the skill sets developed through 4-H participation. Their accomplishments highlight not only their individual commitment but also the strength of the Tillamook County 4-H program in nurturing skilled, responsible future citizens.

Lady Bobcats grind out 13th straight win

Kyla Hurliman battles on the block against a lady Logger. WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Nestucca High School girls’ basketball team extended its win streak to 13 games, with its fourth win in five days, beating the Vernonia loggers at home on February 2. Both teams struggled offensively, but Nestucca gutted out the 36-21 win behind 10 points each from Kyla Hurliman and Hailee Knight. The Bobcats were tepid out of the gates, falling into an early 4-0 hole before an offensive foul call against the Loggers sparked a run for Nestucca, with Hurliman

scoring four straight to even the score. Nestucca took the lead on a Makayla Webber layup moments later and, though their offense continued to struggle with Vernonia’s pressure, they similarly flummoxed the Loggers with their full-court press and led 8-4 at the end of one. A banked three from Vernonia cut the lead to one minutes into the quarter as Nestucca’s offense continued to struggle with turnovers and the Loggers took a two-point lead on another banked three moments later. Webber finally broke the Bobcats’ scoring drought with a steal and layup to tie the game at 10 with three

minutes left in the half and the Bobcats retook a three-point lead on a Hurliman and-one play with just under two left. Nestucca’s offense finally came to life in the waning moments of the half and by the break the Bobcats led 18-13. Nestucca scored five in a row to push the lead to 10 to start the second half, before another banked Logger three stopped the run. Nestucca’s offense continued to struggle with turnovers but led 25-16 halfway through the quarter as Vernonia’s offensive woes continued. Both offenses went ice cold from there and the score was still stuck at 25-16 entering the fourth. Chloe Love finally ended the scoreless run and pushed the lead back to double digits before a Knight layup pushed it to 30-16 with six minutes remaining in the game. The Loggers notched a three to trim the lead back to 11 but from there both teams again went cold and the game ended with a final score of 36-21. With the win the Bobcats improved 18-3 on the season and 11-0 in Northwest League play entering the final week of the season. Nestucca had a rematch at Vernonia on February 5 (result unavailable), before a road game at Knappa

The new exhibit, titled “Contact: How Cross-Cultural Exchange Shapes Us” is the brainchild of Exhibit and Program Developer Jenny Teece and reexamines the idea of first contact through the lens of material culture. Teese, an anthropologist by training, arrived in Tillamook in fall 2022 and was curious to learn about the history of the indigenous people of the area and their interactions with outside cultures before the infamous landing of Captain Robert Grey at Tillamook Bay in 1788. After research, Teece found that material exchange between Tillamook and the outside world had occurred in both

directions prior to Grey’s arrival. “We have archaeological records that the Tillamook people interacted with foreign objects decades before people showed up,” Teece said. The exhibit includes fragments of Chinese porcelain, some crafted into arrowheads, that have been found at local indigenous villages as well as a collection of beeswax. The beeswax has been tested and identified as originating in the Philippines, and museum staff believe that it

washed ashore in Tillamook following the shipwreck of a Spanish galleon blown off course on a trip between Mexico and the Philippines. Teece said that her goal with the exhibit, which also includes several modern objects, was to promote thought and conversation about how people think about first contact. “As we learn more about material culture and we understand the importance of our items to ourselves and our societies, does that change how we think about first contact,” Teese wondered.

SPORTS Bobcats run away from Loggers A10

Tillamook Headlight Herald • February 6, 2024

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Nestucca High School’s boys’ basketball team got a big win, outdistancing the Vernonia Loggers 79-32 at home on February 2. Eagan Ortis and Mason Vu led Nestucca with 12 points each as 11 Bobcats scored in the game and they dominated from tip to buzzer. Nestucca jumped out to an early 6-0 lead, scoring easily on the interior and in transition and continued to extend the lead, with the score standing at 16-6

halfway through the period with Ortis accounting for nine points and Henry Ozuna five. Nestucca’s lead continued to grow as the quarter progressed, aided by overly aggressive defense from Vernonia putting them into the bonus with over two minutes left, and by the end of the first, the Bobcats were up 22-10. Nestucca’s offense continued to fire in the second quarter as the Loggers struggled, and the lead ballooned to 29-12 with five minutes left in the half. The Bobcats struggled with turnovers on overly optimistic passes for the next few minutes, allow-

ing Vernonia to trim the lead to 34-19 with two minutes to go, but Nestucca scored seven straight to push it to 41-19 at the break. Both offenses started the second half slow, but the Bobcats continued to stretch their advantage, leading 5022 after four minutes. Nestucca’s reserves took over for the starters for the rest of the quarter and pushed the lead even further to 65-30 entering the fourth. As the clock ran, the Bobcats continued to handle the Logges and led 70-33 as four minutes ticked by and won with a final score of 79-32. Nestucca improved to 7-14 on the season and

3-8 in league play with the win. They were scheduled to finish the season with

road games at Vernonia and Knappa on February 5 and 6, before wrapping

the season at home against Mannahouse Academy on February 9.

Citizen North Coast

The Neah-Kah-Nie High School boys’ basketball team eked out a 45-40 win over the Banks Braves at home on January 29. Ivan Dante led the way for the Pirates offensively, chipping in 17 points, while Ethan Hanson put up 10 in his first game back following an injury, as the Pirates managed to hold on to a tight lead through most of the game to seize the victory. Both teams were slow out of the gates offensively and after four minutes the Pirates led 5-4, with all their points coming from Dante. The Braves tied the score at six with just over a minute left in the quarter and scored a buzzer beating lay in to take an 8-6 lead at the end of one. Neah-Kah-Nie quickly

erased the deficit and took a six-point lead after scoring the first eight points of the quarter, but Banks settled down and cut the lead to 1612 with four minutes to go in the half. The Pirates shooting remained cold, keeping their offense in check and the Braves chipped away at the lead once more, sending the game to the half with the

pirates ahead 21-19. The Pirates started the second half strong with four straight before the Braves battled back to tie the game at 25 and Neah-Kah-Nie had a narrow 27-25 lead halfway through the period. Neah-Kah-Nie scored eight straight to push the lead to 10 with a minute remaining in the quarter but the Braves

scored four straight to cut the margin back to 35-29 entering the fourth. Neither offense was firing to start the fourth and after three minutes the margin was the same, but Banks hits a three to cut the lead in half shortly after and the score was 37-34 with four minutes to go. The Pirates stretched the lead slightly to four points with two minutes and one minute remaining, eventually forcing Banks to foul to extend the game, before Neah-Kah-Nie hung on for the 45-40 victory. With the win, Neah-KahNie improved to 13-5 on the season and 6-2 in league play. They had games scheduled on February 2 against Warrenton and February 5 against Corbett with the results unavailable at the time of press and were set to finish their season with a home-and-home series against Rainier, in Rainier on February 8, and Rockaway Beach on February 9.

The Neah-Kah-Nie High School girls’ basketball team lost a tough game to the Banks Braves 62-36 at home on January 29. The Pirate offense failed to adjust to Banks’ defensive pressure throughout the game, falling into an early hole that only grew larger as the night wore on. The Braves jumped out to an early 6-0 lead as NeahKah-Nie struggled to initiate their offensive attack, with repeated turnovers including shot clock violations, and were cold from the field. Kennedy Fletcher opened the scoring with a mid-range field goal and Graham hit a three to cut the lead to 8-5 halfway through the quarter. Neah-Kah-Nie began to

struggle with Banks’ fullcourt press and the Braves took advantage of an early entry into the bonus to extend the lead again as the quarter wore on, pushing their lead to 17-9 at the end of one. The Pirates scored five straight to start the second quarter, as they started to crack the Braves’ full-court press, but the press began to frustrate Neah-Kah-Nie again and the Braves had pushed the lead to 27-19 with four minutes remaining in the half. Neah-Kah-Nie’s offensive woes continued as time ticked down, with turnovers remaining a persistent problem as Banks’ lead grew to 38-20 at the break. Turnovers continued to plague the Pirates as the second half got under way but the Banks offense also sputtered and the score stood

at 44-23 midway through the quarter and 50-30 entering the fourth. The game continued in the same manner in the fourth, as both teams struggled to move the needle offensively, with the score 52-33 with four to go and 6236 at the buzzer. Fletcher led the Pirates in scoring with 13 points on the evening while Payton White chipped in seven. The loss dropped the Pirates to 8-11 on the season and 2-6 in Coastal Range League play heading into the last four games of the season. The Pirates had a home matchup against Warrenton on February 2, and a road game at Corbett on February 5 (results unavailable at press time), and a home-and-home with Rainier on February 8 and 9, with the road matchup coming first.

Pirate wrestlers finish regular season strong MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

The 18-member NeahKah-Nie High Pirates boys’ and girls’ wrestling teams concluded their regular season schedule with some wins to build momentum for the upcoming district tournament. The Pirates, guided by third-year coach Alejandro Quintana, had their final home meet on Senior Night, January 30, in a five-team dual event with Seaside, Warrenton, Knappa and Waldport. Seniors Jeremiah Miller, Angel Gonzales and Alexandra Aguinaga were honored for their contributions to the Pirate wrestling program, while accompanied by their parents in a festive ceremony at Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway. “We had a good showing in our dual meets with the other teams and it was good seeing the three seniors each getting at least one win on Senior Night,” said Quintana. Miller and Gonzales both had a good day in the final home meet of their NeahKah-Nie High School career

as they each won boys’ matches. Miller won twoout-of-three matches in the 138-pound weight class and Gonzales won one match in the 134-pound division. Aguinaga, one of three Pirate girls’ wrestlers, won two matches in the 130-pound class. The Pirates then competed on back-to-back days as their final regular season tournament was January 31, in the SD1 regional duals at Yamhill-Carlton High School with Banks, Rainier, Dayton and Riverside. The Pirates lost by just three points in a close dual with Rainier and they also lost to Banks. The Pirates won duals versus Riverside and Dayton. “They all had a pretty solid showing at YamhillCarlton and I was pretty happy with their performance,” said Quintana. “Now we’re just going to focus on getting ready for districts.” The trio of Miller, junior Nathaniel Tinnes (175 pounds) and Aguinaga had a strong showing at YamhillCarlton. Miller won threeout-of-four matches, Tinnes won two-of-three matches and Aguinaga won three

matches. Freshman Lakyn Wilkinson won one match in the girls’ 155-pound division. The Pirates will compete in the Class 3A District Tournament February 9 at Dayton High School. The top-four placers in each weight class from Saturday’s district tournament will qualify for the state tournament February 22-23 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland. “I think if Jeremiah, Nathaniel, Samuel Lommen (215 lbs.), Alexander Lessor (175 lbs.) and Gage Wilkinson (132 lbs.) have a solid performance at districts, they’ll have a good shot at going to state,” said Quintana. “We’re hoping that those guys along with our two girls, Alexandra and Krista Bozley, will have a chance to go to state and continue wrestling for a couple more weeks.” Bozley, a junior, has enjoyed tremendous success this year as she has lost only four matches this year in the 115-pound class. The Pirates girls’ squad will compete at the February 17 district tournament at Scappoose High School.

Whereof, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on 06/05/2024 at the hour of 9:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by Section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statutes, at the front entrance of the Courthouse, 201 Laurel Avenue, Tillamook 97141 County of Tillamook, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured (and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee). Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes; has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale.

You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.

IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid

to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy.

HH24-020 NOTICE OF ELECTION & RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE Published pursuant to ORS 255.085 Notice is hereby given that a ballot title for a measure referred by the Tillamook Fire District has been filed with the County Clerk of Tillamook County, Oregon on January 31, 2024. The May 21, 2024 Primary Election will be conducted by mail pursuant to ORS 254.465. An elector may file a petition for review of this ballot title in Tillamook County Circuit Court no later than 5:00 p.m. on February 9, 2024 pursuant to ORS 255.155. CAPTION: FIVE YEAR OPTIONAL LEVY TO FUND FIRE DISTRICT OPERATIONS QUESTION: Shall the Fire District impose a five year levy at the rate of $00.84 per $1,000 assessed value beginning FY 20242025? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent. SUMMARY: The Tillamook Fire District would use generated tax revenue to fund operations; increasing the sustainability of the District.

The current tax rate is $00.69 per $1,000.00 assed value. Tillamook Fire District funding has been frozen since 1997. The estimated funds generated annually will be FY 2024-2025 $1,151,598, FY 2025-2026 $1,186,145, FY 2026-2027 $1,221,730, FY 2027-2028 $1,258,382, FY 20282029 $1,296,133. The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the County Assessor at the time of estimate and may reflect the impact of early payment discounts, compression and the collection rate.
