County pays $300,000 for cyberattack ransom Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net

T

illamook County officials revealed that a $300,000 ransom was paid to regain data access after a cyberattack. The ransom amount was disclosed during the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, March 11.

Commissioner Bill Baertlein, reading from a prepared statement, said it could have taken 12-24

months and cost $1 million to unlock the county’s computer system if a ransom went unpaid.

“The county’s rapid and aggressive response to the incident mitigated the compromise and contained the encryption to 17 of 55 servers and five of 280 county workstations,” Baertlein said.

The attack was reportedly carried out by an international cybercriminal organization known to law enforcement both nationally and internationally. The prepared county

adding that new security measures were being implemented.

“The county made every effort to avoid the payment of a ransom to the cyber attacker, including recovery through two independent backup solutions and hundreds of hours of retained and county resources; however, data critical to county operations could not be restored without paying the cyberattacker for decryption keys,” Baertlein said.

“While the county maintained redundant backup solutions that would

Tillamook lumber mill worker was tested for coronavirus this past week, leading operations to shut down Thursday, March 12, for a cleaning.

Hampton Lumber Mill Plant Manager Mark Elston issued a statement about the employee and the closure. In the statement, he said the employee was tested at the local hospital and advised by medical professionals to self-quarantine at home pending results.

“The employee is following that advice and has committed to inform us of a positive or negative result once known,” he said. “We will let our employees know this result and will keep the appropriate community leaders informed.”

Elston said upon learning of the possible infection risk, Hampton Lumber closed shop to clean and sanitize areas the employee frequented. He said the relevant break rooms, restrooms, offices,

and control rooms were sanitized by a local cleaning service.

“We take the health and safety of our employees and the community very seriously,” Elston said. “We will monitor the situation and take the appropriate action to safeguard our employees and our operation as we get additional information.”

As of Monday, March 16, Elston said the employee’s test results had not yet been received.

The mill was reopened for work after the temporary shutdown to sanitize gathering areas.

County officials confirmed Friday, March 13, that tests for COVID-19 were conducted in Tillamook County. Test kits are reportedly in short supply.

As of Friday, there were no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Tillamook County. The Health Department tested two sick individuals, and both came back negative, according to a statement from county officials. Adventist Health has also tested patients for the virus and is waiting for

Tillamook County officials declare state of emergency Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net

C

ounty officials held an emergency meeting Saturday, March 14, to declare a local state of emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak. Most county offices will close to the public, operating by phone and email instead.

Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein said the declaration was necessary due to the rapidly developing situation around COVID-19. Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and David Yamamoto agreed with the necessity. No COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the county at this time.

“Are we going to be infected,” Yamamoto said. “I can tell you pretty much yes, we will.”

Votes for a resolution declaring the emergency and enacting a contingency plan passed unanimously.

The state of emergency will last until April 1, when it will be reevaluated.

“This is a very fluid situation and things are changing rapidly,” Yamamoto said.

Concerned about the impact of a possible COVID-19 spread in the area, Bell said with only a few intensive care beds, Tillamook County lacks the capacity to handle a serious outbreak.

Access to the Tillamook County Courthouse will be screened.

County department offices at the courthouse will serve the public by appointment. The Community Development office will close to the public but will serve people by phone and email. County Public Works will be closed to the public, though the solid waste transfer stations remain open.

The north courthouse entrance will be closed. Those who need

to access the building should use the south entrance. Access to the Justice Court, District Attorney’s office, Juvenile Department and Circuit Court will be available.

Handicapped access to the courthouse also remains available.

The Tillamook County Health Department will still be open. Public access will be closed off at the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, but jail visitations will continue. All Tillamook County libraries and the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will close immediately.

The Tillamook County Fairgrounds is suspending all events of 250 people or more in compliance with Gov. Kate Brown’s mass gathering ban. Canceled and rescheduled events include the Spring Bazaar, Creamery Asso-

State takes additional measure against COVID-19 spread G

ov. Kate Brown on Monday, March 16, announced new measures to flatten the curve of coronavirus transmission in Oregon.

The state has a total of 51 people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 as of Tuesday.

“I know it’s difficult to learn that we are seeing more active community spread of COVID-19, but this is something we’ve been expecting,” said Dr. Dean Sidelinger, state health officer and epidemiologist. “It’s a good reminder to take steps to protect yourself, and vulnerable friends and family members, by washing your hands, covering your coughs and sneezes, and staying home and

INDEX Classified Ads....................... B3-6 Crossword Puzzle.................... A8 Fenceposts...............................B2 Letters...................................

away from others if you’re sick.”

The measures include new orders and guidance on social distancing, an agreement for the Portland metro hospital system to coordinate resources and increase capacity, activation of the state’s Unified Command emergency response organizational structure, and a new order to prevent price gouging.

“My goal is to protect the health and safety of Oregon families. Every step we are taking is being made with community input and careful consideration of its impacts,” Brown said. “Each action has ripple effects across our state, both on a personal and an economic level. But we can overcome these hurdles in an Oregon Way. By working together, we are stronger, even if it’s in ways we never thought possible.”

The new orders on social distancing measures, effective March 17 for at least four weeks, include: • A statewide cancelation of all events and gatherings larger than 25 people — exempting essential locations like workplaces, grocery stores, pharmacies, and retail stores. It’s additionally recommended that Oregonians avoid gatherings of 10 people or more.

• Restaurants, bars, and other establishments that offer food or beverages for sale are restricted

to carry-out and delivery only with no on-site consumption permitted.

• Food service at health care facilities, workplaces, and other essential facilities will continue.

• All other businesses are urged to assess their practices, implement strong social distancing measures, and close their doors temporarily if they cannot put the new guidance in place.

“I know that while these actions will impact Oregon businesses and employees, they will help decrease the rate of infection while bringing state and federal resources up to the same speed as the spread of the virus,” Brown said.

The Governor’s Coronavirus Economic Advisory Council was slated to convene Tuesday, March 17, to examine ways to mitigate the impacts of new social distancing measures and anything else that adversely affects Oregon’s economy.

The council will examine a variety of tools available, including requests to the State Legislature and the federal government.

Brown also announced the formation of two command groups, one to manage our health care system’s resources and the other to manage state resources. The metro regional COVID-19 hospital response plan

will help the health care community to prepare for the expected surge of COVID-19 cases in the coming weeks — a model for a crisis care plan that can be implemented statewide.

Working together, hospitals will treat COVID-19 testing resources and personal protective equipment, including gowns, masks, and gloves, as community resources, and work together to increase bed capacity.

After someone contracts COVID-19, illness usually develops within 14 days. Symptoms mirror those of the flu, including fever, cough, runny nose, headache, sore throat and general feelings of illness.

The state’s Unified Command emergency response organizational structure, an incident management structure similar to what Oregon would activate during a major Cascadia earthquake, has also been activated. This will fully integrate the Oregon Health Authority’s public health response efforts with the Office of Emergency Management’s efforts to minimize any disruption to critical services in Oregon.

At the request of the Attorney General, Brown declared an abnormal market disruption regarding essential items like hand sanitizer and toilet paper, to prevent price gouging during this public health crisis.

Schools get meals to kids during shutdowns Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net With schools shuttering because of the coronavirus outbreak, Tillamook School District will be delivering meals. Nestucca also has a delivery plan, and Neah-KahNie is serving food at the schools.

From Tuesday, March 17, through Friday, March 20, Tillamook School District will be delivering meals to all bus stops. Lunch and the next day’s breakfast will be included. Meals are free for all children under 18.

n Ransom Continued from Page A1 cyberattacks, Tillamook felt transparency was important.

He said the attack could have been much worse.

“It was a learning experience,” Yamamoto said.

Baertlein said the $300,000 loss would have a significant impact on the rural county’s coffers. He compared the cyberattack to being shaken

11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. outside the buildings. Children up to 18 years old can get breakfast and lunch free.

Nestucca Valley School District announced on social media that children up to 18 could receive meals by delivery starting Tuesday. Contact the district on Facebook or at its website to register. Registered participants will receive emails and texts confirming delivery times.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown ordered the state’s public schools to cancel classes through March 31 in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus. The order took effect Monday, March 16.

“I have heard from su-

perintendents, school board members, teachers, parents, and students that it has now become impossible to functionally operate schools due to workforce issues and student absences,” Brown said. “Schools are experiencing critical shortages in staff, and superintendents are concerned for school personnel who are at elevated risk such as those over age 60 and those with underlying medical issues.”

Brown asked school administrators to spend the final two days of March preparing to reopen schools April 1 and ensuring they have adequate cleaning supplies. She also asked school districts to

develop plans to keep serving food to students despite the closures. Brown had previously ordered the cancellation

of events and gatherings of 250 or more people without calling for school closures as part of that mandate.

down by a bully and called on the federal government to act against cybercrime.

It was not immediately clear what the additional costs of the cyberattack would come to after figuring legal fees, contractor costs and county staff overtime. The county treasurer is working to compile those costs by the end of this coming April. Discussion with the county’s insurer are ongoing regarding what costs might be covered.

County systems are now operational, and a forensic

investigation was concluded.

The investigation found no evidence indicating personal information of employees or residents was accessed or taken by the attacker, according to county officials.

County officials said the cyberattack originated from a group called REvil. The group is reportedly also known as Sodinokibi or Sodin. Information Security Media Group reported that the malicious “ransomware-as-a-service” operation appears to be extremely lucrative.

“We all knew that ransomware was big business for cybercriminals and in our past several research blogs speculated about projected criminal profits, but seeing it firsthand by following the money trail gives a different level of realization that we are dealing with adversaries with very deep pockets, literally having millions of dollars as a budget,” John Fokker, security firm McAfee’s head of cyber investigations, told Information Security Media Group.

A cybersecurity specialist

said beyond being used as leverage for force payment, stolen information also seems to be getting repurposed to attack new victims.

“We’ve now got pretty clear evidence that Maze et al are using exfiltrated to spear phish other companies,” Brett Callow, a threat analyst at security firm Emsisoft, said.

“The problem is, many companies do not disclose these incidents, so their business partners and customers do not know that they should be on high alert. Bottom line: more

companies need to disclose, and to disclose quickly.”

A process to bring the county computer systems online after the malware infection began Feb. 3. County officials confirmed the cyberattack took place Jan. 22.

The county’s server, internal computer systems and website went down in the attack, and phone systems and email networks were affected.

County computer network connections were disabled to contain the spread of malware.

“Our products are safe to consume. Dairy foods produced and processed by TCCA are some of the most highly regulated and safest foods available to consumers,” said Jenna Cerruti, communications manager. “No public health authority has advised of any concern that COVID-19 can be transmitted through food or food packaging.”

“TCCA upholds the highest standards of food safety practices within the dairy industry, ensuring our manufacturing employees practice good

personal hygiene, products continue to undergo microbiological testing, and facilities and processing equipment undergo extensive cleaning and sanitizing programs,” Cerruti said.

Cerruti said TCCA continues to evaluate any supplier risk as global developments occur, but no disruptions have been experienced to date.

“The health and safety of those that consume our products, and of all of our TCCA employees, will remain our highest priority as we continue to monitor this issue,” Cerruti said.

The following statement was issued by Tillamook Creamery: “Our hearts go out to those who have been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The health and safety of our guests and our staff is our highest priority, which is why we’ve made the decision to close the Tillamook Creamery Visitors Center until further notice.

By taking this extra precaution, we hope to limit exposure to the virus and keep our community safe. We are committed to doing our part to slow the spread of this outbreak. We will continue to monitor the

TCTD has enhanced its vehicle and facility sanitation and disinfection protocols and developed a plan to guide the efforts. The vehicle sanitation plan is to spray and wipe down up to 75 percent of all buses and vans with disinfectant each day and have all vehicles thoroughly sanitized every other day.

District staff are also periodically wiping down high-touch areas of vehicles

and facilities throughout the day. The district said the chemicals being used to combat the COVID-19 virus are recommended by the Federal Transit Administration and registered with the Environmental Protection Agency as being effective.

Given the social distancing directives from the state, passengers should maintain six feet of space between to help prevent the spreading the virus. With more people traveling less there is more

space on the buses and the district asks that passengers maintain the recommended distance from each other.

Does Timber Unity have solutions?

John Rogan

Timber Unity has a mission statement to the effect that it will work to protect Oregon communities and jobs. It is a thoroughly worthy objective. I have no doubt that its members are sincere in their mission, which resulted in their efforts to defeat the cap and trade legislation. The question that I hope some of its members can answer is whether the mission to protect is confined to the year 2020, or whether they are committed to carrying on this mission for the remainder of this century. If the latter, please let us know how you propose to protect the community of Tillamook in particular.

First some parameters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bush hog

Kudos to Jim Fazio for his letter to the Editor on the subject of the “Bush Hog” he said exactly what a number of Tillamook County residents feel. The way the County cuts back the trees, bushes, overgrowth, etc. in our County is a crime. We need a better way to do this.

Way to go Jim! Rayanne & Robert Edwards Nehalem

SB1530

Thank you Victor Affolter for the excellent column rebutting the nonsense from Mike Pihl of TImber Unity.

Regrettably, it is standard operating procedure for opponents of climate legislation to base their opposition to a proposal on a different bill - or an earlier and out-dated version of their target. In this case, one wonders if Mike Pihl realizes his comments refer to HB2020 from 2019, a completely different bill than

SB1530 of 2020 or if he is practicing willful ignorance.

What Timber Unity folks should know is that if climate change continues at the rate it has been going, the livelihoods of those relying on forests or agriculture will be compromised as conditions shift beyond those which support current forest species or agricultural crops.

It’s opponents of climate action that threatens the livelihoods of rural Oregonians, not the proponents.

Furthermore, the investments that SB1530 was designed to allow would have provided a substantial boon for rural and coastal Oregonians. But the runaway delinquent Republicans sacrificed that possibility - preferring to breach their oaths of office, grandstand, compromise democracy, and adopt mob rule by the minority party as they left the Capitol for a vacation in mid-session.

Any other worker pulling this stunt would be fired -

which is exactly what should happen to the Republican Representatives and Senators who have no respect for their constituents and no interest in representing them in the Capitol. Why elect a legislator who doesn’t even show up to work and then promotes lies about the proposals before them?

Tree desecration

I agree with the man who wrote in last week about the desecration of the trees along our Netarts Bay. I called the Road Department and complained a couple weeks back after the same thing happened along the Tillamook River Road. I asked that the potholes that makingvdriving unsafe be filled rather than using financial and manpower resources to tear off tree branches that are in no way blocking line of sight on our

roads. We have ditches that need reopened so that water doesn’t pool in the road and degrade the asphalt. Please consider changing road department priorities to focus on our degraded roads versus wreaking havoc with our natural beauty. Thank you.

Wheeler is a town of about three hundred fulltime residents and about 100 absentee owners. The citizens of Wheeler love the smallness of our town, regardless of the fact that we can buy none of the necessities of life within its borders.

Wheeler is figuratively sliding into a financial abyss while at the same time literally sliding down the hill, and into the bay. Storm water mitigation is perhaps our city’s most pressing need, and the city is criticized and even sued for not “fixing it” with

answer to that is that nothing in the natural world is static.

Change is going to happen.

If we try to remain just as we are, our local lodging establishments will continue to draw tourists with our stellar views, two nice cafes, a first class restaurant, and a diminishing salmon run. But that will be overshadowed by the appearance of “Main Street”.

Our partially occupied business district will still look like a drunk with several missing teeth.

Wheeler used to be a big, little town. With banks, movie theaters, grocers, cleaners, hotels, gasoline stations, mills and canneries. It was an exciting and dynamic place to live and thrive. But now it’s all gone. The world changed around us, and Wheeler got caught with its municipal pants down.

Someone recently said while discussing the proposed waterfront development at the north end of town - “We don’t want to be another Manzanita, or God forbid, Rockaway. We just want a quiet little village.” Well, the

Properties will be have to be abandoned and most of the dairy farms in the surrounding area will be wiped out, along with most of the jobs in the county.

As I see it there are only two possible solutions to this scenario. One is to try to slow down and perhaps even halt global warming.

This solution requires the joint effort of all counties including ours. The cap and trade legislation may not have been perfect, but it

Should cap and trade go to the voters?

Across the globe, both air and ocean temperatures are rising. This is a measurable fact. The percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing.

This is a measurable fact.

One property of the carbon dioxide molecule is that it acts like a green house. This is an undisputed physical property of this gas. Glaciers are retreating and the ice caps of Greenland and the Antarctic are melting.

These are measurable facts.

Around the globe ocean levels are rising and the rate is increasing. This is a measurable fact. These facts can be ignored in the hope that they will go away, but they cannot be honestly denied.

There is too much hard data for this option.

GUEST COLUMNS

The antidote to Oregon’s vitriolic 2020 legislative session State Sen. Betsy Johnson The antidote to Oregon’s vitriolic 2020 legislative session came in a phone call from a woman who had a basic question for me: “How am I supposed to survive?”

She wasn’t talking about the coronavirus.

We legislators get so caught up in the bubble of the Capitol building, we lose track of the fact that life is going on for everyone else.

My phone rings every single day.

Something is wrong. The law of unintended consequences has come back to bite a constituent.

Like the woman who called me.

Her Medicare has gone up $18 a month. Then she found out what the legislature’s transportation bill, passed in 2017, was going to cost her.

Her vehicle registration will go up from $86 to $112. She is on a fixed

budget and doesn’t know how she can pay for this. What other surprises do the state’s politicians have in store for her?

When 21 House Republicans and 11 Senate Republicans walked out over Senate Bill 1530, they did so to spare their roughly 2.6 million constituents future surprises.

Their constituents, many of them rural residents, know “cap and trade” won’t change global climate. It will cap carbon emissions on businesses and essentially force them to buy emission allowances. What is the point in offering emission allowances if the intent is to control emissions?

The real point is to hit one group in the pocketbook and transfer their money to someone else. There is no significant environmental gain.

Rep. Brad Witt (D-Clatskanie) and I are Democrats and could not support this bill. We represent rural

places. Our constituents understood what this bill would do to their lives. A week before the walkout, a co-sponsor of SB 1530 suggested we seek a last-minute amendment to benefit pulp and paper mills.

Why didn’t the co-sponsor include this fix in the original bill?

Why wouldn’t co-sponsors use their superior negotiating position to attach the amendment themselves? Why put opponents in the position of begging for their constituents’ jobs?

Because SB 1530 is directed at a particular class of people who belong to the wrong political tribe. Our state history has shown that politics can be as deadly as a virus to certain populations.

Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn write in their book, “Tightrope,” about the crisis in workingclass America: “The consequences of lost timber jobs in Oregon and disappearing coal jobs in Kentucky are not so different from the consequences of erased factory jobs in North Carolina, Maine or Michigan.”

Kristof grew up in Yamhill, Ore. He likes to say he won the lottery at birth with parents who were academicians. Many of his classmates were from blue-collar stock. He went on to a career at The New York Times.

About one-quarter of his classmates ended up dead from drugs, suicide and assorted recklessness in a world

that no longer needed them.

Their lives became less meaningful than a spotted owl’s. Their expectations were dashed.

For a kid in the 8th grade who thinks he could grow up and work in the Wauna paper mill like his dad, make enough to raise a family, even take a vacation to Disneyland – a single piece of legislation can dash that expectation. That kid is just another political casualty, courtesy of those who thought they knew best.

So much of politics is good intentions. Like our Public Employee Retirement System, which continues to escape solutions while we are busy saving the planet. Now the coronavirus threatens to crater the economy.

For all those who supported cap and trade as a way to attack “corporate polluters,” you may get your wish. See how you like a world with much less commerce.

The real threat of concern in Manzanita LIMITED TIMEMustOFFER purchase by Randy Kugler At the March 4 Manzanita City Council meeting, Councilor Nuttall cited a Facebook post from last summer that confirmed in his mind that the allegation made by Mayor Scott that I “threatened to sue the City over the Budget” was indeed proven and a legitimate reason to not appoint me to the Budget Commit-

tee.

Some context to the quote is in order.

I did have conversations with citizens who asked my advice on possible legal action if necessary regarding the City’s misallocation of Water Fund revenue to pay the salaries of City Hall managers.

I said that I would obtain the contact information of the City Attorney and would be willing to meet with an attorney to answer questions if that would

be helpful. As I have clearly established in things that I have written and said over these many months, I would prefer to continue to encourage citizens to attend meetings, ask their question of our Council to get answers and apply for Committee openings to effect the change that they desire within the framework of our local governmental system.

Paul Krupin Special to the Herald Coronavirus concerns are on everyone’s mind. One of the most important questions that looms large is how we can help each other.

How can we each make a difference?

Many people have a robust front-line support system who we can rely on for help and who we

can provide assistance to.

This includes our families, friends, neighbors, the clubs, and religious groups we participate in, and the local community organizations.

However, there are other people who do not have a support network and who will need help during the coming times. Identifying those who need help and getting them the right help

will be particularly important.

Here are some ideas on what you can do to help.

Organize Local Support Groups Start local. Get a notebook and start taking notes.

Create a local neighborhood support circle or network and write down the names of people, their addresses, how many people live in

the residence, phone numbers, email, social media. If they don’t want to provide the information, fine, but keep tabs on them.

Speed up preparations while people are healthy.

Call on seniors, people who live alone, families with elderly or small children, or people with learning or physical disabilities.

Welcome Greiner, Schwend to Chamber Board Justin Aufdermauer Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce It’s been awhile since we have introduced our Board of Directors to the community, so I wanted to take this opportunity to share a bit about our newest board members: Lisa Greiner and Adam Schwend.

Lisa came on board a few months ago and was recently elected as Vice Chair. She is the owner at Oregon Coast Dance Center and currently teaches ballet, tap, jazz, and tumbling in two locations in Tillamook County. She is also the voice of Tillamook Today on the local radio stations and serves on many other boards including the Tillamook Futures Council, and the Tillamook County Arts Network.

When asked why she wanted to join the Chamber Board of Directors Lisa said, “Tillamook County is a small, but mighty, community, and I am passionate about being involved and helping where I can. As a Chamber member, I saw that same passion from the Chamber and felt that the board and organization’s values aligned well with mine.”

She added, “Every summer I travel to various parts of the US for studio owner/dance teacher training, and often get into conversations with individuals from other states who

are flabbergasted by what our Chamber does. It makes me proud to be a part of an organization that is actively striving to improve our economy and supports our local businesses.”

Lisa said she is excited to be involved in the Young Professionals of Tillamook and to see more trainings and leadership opportunities available for young professionals in our area. Lisa has experience as a small business owner as well as working for a multi-billiondollar corporation and we are excited to have her businesssavvy expertise serving on our board. She has also played an instrumental role in helping proofread and format Chamber publications.

Our newest Board Member is Adam Schwend, Principal broker at Coast Real Estate Professionals. Adam is also the Director of Cultural Events for the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook and has been in that role for the last five years.

Adam said he wanted

to join the Chamber board because, “I think we as a community - especially a business community - are stronger when we work together. I wanted to be able to give back to a community that’s done so much for me and the Chamber has been a big part of making the community what it is.”

Adam said that during his time serving on the Tillamook City Council he was able to work closely with the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce to make sure the City maintained a businessfriendly environment and he looks forward to keeping that relationship going, now from the other side of the table.

Adam added that, “We as business owners are running businesses and don’t always have time to go to a city council or planning commission meeting, and can feel good about the fact that even though we can’t be there as individuals we know the Chamber is stepping up and advocating for us and for a pro-business climate here in Tillamook.”

If you would like more information regarding the Tillamook Chamber Board of Directors, visit our website tillamookchamber.org.

Justin Aufdermauer is the executive director of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce

Ken Paulson As the scope and threat of the coronavirus pandemic becomes clear, people all over the world hunger for two things: an effective vaccine and truthful information about the disease.

The former may be more than a year away, but the latter is critical to stemming the pandemic in the meantime.

This is Sunshine Week, a time each year when people like me write columns about some legislature’s wrongheaded move to limit access

to public records, and then try to make the case for greater access to public information and transparency in government.

But we’re facing something far more dangerous than any state legislature could conjure up. It’s a worldwide crisis worsened by governments whose impulse is to hide, control and censor news and information.

When a Chinese doctor shared with his colleagues his concerns that a mysterious new virus might be emerging, he was repri-

manded and silenced. The doctor, Li Wenliang, died last month of coronavirus.

After China mishandled and hid the virus from the public, the epidemic dramatically worsened.

The Chinese government “is now leading a sweeping campaign to purge the public sphere of dissent, censoring news reports, harassing citizen journalists and shutting down news sites,” according to the New York Times.

Pay attention and stay aware of people’s situation.

Ask people if they want to help and how they prefer to communicate.

Form small teams and share skills, capabilities and resources that are in short supply with other teams.

Adopt a Neighbor Look for vulnerable people. Check on people regularly. Stay aware of their situation. Ask them if anything has changed. Ask them what they need.

Check on people in their homes. Help them with everyday tasks that are beyond their capabilities. Let others know what you learn. Think about the people close to home, on your block, in your neighborhood.

Make contact now especially with people who are in a high-risk category, may be in need, and do not have a healthy caregiver.

Know how many people are there and what their situation is. Offer to assist with normal day to day tasks that become difficult if someone gets sick. Like moving garbage pails to the curb and grabbing the mail.

It need not be complex care. It will be helpful to pair people up and create a buddy system. Consider cooking extra food and bringing pre-cooked meals for families in which everyone or the main caregivers are sick. Practice doorway and porch delivery.

Volunteer Local community organizations, businesses, and care organizations are heightening their capabilities to serve the public safely. There are organizations that provide support to the elderly and those with disabilities, to the homeless, to young people, as well as those with anxiety and mental illnesses, who have disabilities, learning difficulties or a number of other issues.

There are businesses and facilities that offer support for sickness, recovery and rehabilitation.

Reach out and link with these organizations.

Go visit and ask the food banks, retirement homes, children’s, women’s and veterans living centers and find out what they are doing and what they need.

Many organizations are looking for volunteers, especially students and young people, to help pro-

If the staff gets sick, many businesses and care companies in particular will be actively seeking people to take the place of care workers.

If you are healthy, send them an email, contact then through their websites or social media pages, or call them and offer them help.

Let them know what sort of skills you have or capabilities you can provide.

Donate to the food banks, homes, shelters There are several food banks in the area. They will accept canned goods and unopened packaged goods not yet expired. They will also welcome financial donations and put them to good work.

If you have extra supplies at home consider building a care package.

Things in short supply include: hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, soaps, rags, tissues, paper towels, toilet paper, sponges, mops, plastic or latex gloves, buckets, soaps, laundry detergent, disinfectant aspirin, Tylenol, immune system supplements, If you have extra new bottles of cold medicines these will also be provided to those in need.

Look in the phone book or on organization websites to see the best way to donate or contact them to get involved.

Some of the organizations are instituting procedures for remote drop off of donations and drive through pickup of care packages. Pay attention to new procedures to reduce the risk of face to face exposure.

Get Involved in Local Organizations and Networks If you are a member and participate in an existing organization or social network, get involved.

Many organizations have donate/volunteer or care package request buttons to their website and social media pages.

Deep Clean and Disinfection Everywhere Businesses should study their workplaces in detail and shut down all common free food sharing locations. At least temporarily, shut down your popcorn machines, coffee service, donuts, cookies, candy, anything that people can touch and contaminate.

As an extra precaution, clean anything that people can touch frequently.

Disinfect often-touched surfaces such as counters, chairs, phones, door handles, keypads, tv remote controls, kitchen and stovetops, desks, restroom surfaces, etc.

Place a spray bottle and disposable paper wipes with disinfectant in your car. If you are out and about, wear gloves and wash commonly touched surfaces (doorbells, door handles, railings) before and after you touch them.

Get in this habit: Clean.

Touch. Clean Again.

Everything. Everywhere.

Every time. Everyone.

If you touch it, leave it cleaner than before you touched it. If we all do this, we can make a difference.

Bag anything that is used for disinfection in a plastic bag and dispose of it carefully so no one else can come in contact with it.

Get Outside Event and school cancellations and travel restrictions are going to drive people inside. One of the best ways to destress and increase social distancing is to get outside.

So bundle up and head to the park. Take a walk.

Go for a hike.

Help the people you can help the most.

It would be low key and attractive and help to develop an increased tax base; allowing us to proudly develop a fully functioning community infrastructure.

n Threat Continued from Page A5 The result of these conversations with other citizens was the following: There was no contact with the City Attorney, no contact with any private attorney, no filing of the required notice of intent to bring a lawsuit against the City or the City’s insurance carrier and no further conversations on my part with anyone on the matter since last summer. In the interest of full disclosure, I have also been approached by citizens interested in starting a recall of City Councilors.

I have told them I will not support nor participate in any recall efforts. I state this now lest I somehow next be accused of “threatening” City Councilors if some future recall action is undertaken.

Citizens are allowed 3 minutes once each month to come before their elected representatives to bring up issues that they would like to have answers to.

ment’s comments through a single spokesman – Vice President Mike Pence. That has improved significantly over the past week.

When the public is desperate for information, government needs to maximize authoritative information from scientists and experts on the public payroll. That appropriately gives Americans what they need to know, and counters irresponsible pundits who have sought to minimize the threat to score political or ratings points.

Most encouraging, though, has been the response of state and local

governments, schools and the private sector. Governments at every level resist disclosure and scrutiny, but this has been a refreshing change, with leaders saying: “Here’s what we need to do, here’s why we’re doing it and here’s how you can find out more.”

Sports leagues and private businesses, not known for transparency, have been refreshingly transparent.

How many emails have you received this week that began “Out of an abundance of caution…”? There are a lot of institutions making tough decisions these days, but they’re

largely doing it in partnership with the American people.

More than anything, else, though, this crisis reminds us of how wise the first generation of Americans was in demanding a free press. Despite the inevitable accusations by some that the news media were “hyping” this threat, traditional media have been measured and thorough in their coverage, making the most of their on-air medical and scientific consultants.

Just four months ago, Manzanita voters surprised City Council with a resounding NO to Council’s plan for a new City Hall building with 30-year

bond funding. In response, Council members pledged to listen to citizens’ concerns and reformulate their plan to move City Hall with an expensive plan to the Underhill Property and to consider renovating the existing Underhill building as an alternative at lower costs.

Initially, Council members were surprised by the strong voter turnout and 68 percent negative vote.

Voters were saying in a loud clear voice that they did not want to go into debt for a too large, too expensive new structure. Council pledged to listen to the voters and reconsider the plan including the remodel design and cost estimate circulated as an alternative.

Sounds good?

Actually the city council is tone deaf. Council paid lip service to the remodel plan and have not completed a full cost estimate or even completed an inspection of the Underhill property. Now, they seem to be reformulat-

ing their own new build plan: adopt a smaller building , use different funding, maybe even complete their plan without a vote of the citizens for the new debt.

Justification? To keep the staff happy? Because a bank knows the credit from a City is always good because our taxes can be raised to pay the debt? Because it will be their legacy?

At a minimum this is bad faith with their citizens they represent. True leadership

by City Council is to open their ears and listen to their constituents. Doing an end run around the voters is poor leadership. city council should conduct a true study of a new building plan versus a remodeling plan with competitive designs, cost estimates and options to fund. After publicizing the results, let voters weigh in on the results.

established to answer any of their questions. We are told this must be done to insure that the Council has enough time to get everything done on their agenda.

In the case of my interest in being appointed to the budget committee and working with the city to find solutions to this budget issue, the mayor determined that my application form was not filled out to his satisfaction, I lacked proper qualifications for the position, I threatened Budget Committee members who would not now serve with me, I had intentionally mislead him regarding a question he asked me and then he subsequently thanked me for correcting my answer and the City Attorney had somehow advised him that my appointment would not be appropriate.

There is a strategic reason why the city would attempt to create this threatening to sue narrative. A very broad restriction to deny myself or other citizens access to or receive answers about any City communications, letters, conversations etc. on this subject can now be imposed under the guise of the need to protect potential evidence that might become relevant to any possible future legal action brought against the City.

Councilor Nuttall could not have been more honest when at the conclusion of reading the post in question he stated that he felt the City had been threatened. Councilor Nuttall and the Mayor seem

to believe it is their duty to be vigilant in protecting the Council from such threats, especially if it involves their decisions being questioned.

My question to Manzanita citizens is this: What is more of a concern to you? Citizens who engage in open community discussions involving their elected officials and their actions including the consideration of their right to pursue legal remedies to address grievances or City officials who unilaterally determine what and who constitute a threat to their governance?

If engaging in community dialogue that results in not taking any tangible actions is the standard that allows individuals to be labeled as threats and grounds for exclusion to participate on a City Committee or get answers to questions, then we have a serious problem.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have been consistent in wanting to work with the city and find appropriate solutions to this Budget issue and avoid any further dissention including further participation with others in any legal action against the City. What Councilor Nuttall and the Mayor see as a threat, I see as constructive civic engagement to force if necessary, accountability of our elected officials. My concluding statement for the post in question summarizes what I and others were attempting to achieve.

“We are seeking a resolution; I wish the Council would be similarly inclined to resolve

this”.

As a practical matter, the issues with our city will need to resolved this November at the ballot box when you will get to select a new mayor and two new Councilors. Continue to stay engaged, attend meetings and ask your questions, apply for Committee openings and consider if you would be willing to be a candidate for City Council.

the mouth of the bay. While the barrier would keep the ocean out it would also dam the rivers. So massive pumps would have to be included to pump fresh water out into the ocean. It would be an enormously expensive project. The advantage of this solution is that nothing needs to be done now, and so it can all be shoved off onto our grandchildren. However it too would have a number of

adverse side effects, such as the end of the oyster industry in the bay.

We all know what Timber Unity is against, but we do not know what it is for.

Please let us know what long term solutions you propose to the challenges that we in Tillamook, and our grandchildren in particular, will be facing with respect to global warming. If they make sense we can all get behind you.

the virus will affect the communities they serve.

President Trump told the nation last week that “we are all in this together” and that’s exactly what needs to happen: the government sharing what it knows truthfully and without spin or bravado, private and public institutions engaging constructively with America’s most pressing challenge and news organizations keeping the public informed in a thorough and

even-handed way.

In the end, science will prevail in curbing this virus. Yet the path to that victory can only emerge from true collaboration and collective sacrifice, fueled by a shared understanding of exactly what we’re up against. That can only come from the free flow of information.

Local woman seeks help for eroding river bank in yard Hilary Dorsey headlightreporter@countrymedia.net Terri Wallace, along with her neighbors who live along the 5000 block of Weber Road along the Tillamook River, is seeking help. Due to severe weather conditions, the river bank in front of her house is eroding at an alarming rate of speed.

Wallace said during the last two months, more than 25 feet of water is eroding on the bank. All agencies agreed the bank needs to be stabilized. The contractor has come out to the property and needs money to pay for the work to be done. Wallace only gets paid disability income.

“I asked for advice on

Facebook and people told me to do a GoFundMe page, but I can’t have the money coming directly to me because I only get disability income and have to have help with the state with my Medicare,” Wallace said.

40 percent of Wallace’s income goes towards what Medicare does not cover.

In a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden, Wallace said the bank is breaking down quickly – it is six to 12 inches from the main water line and two to three feet from the handicap ramp attached to her home.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless ADMISSION string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later. With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6, 1956, and under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glenn’s disappearance, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Since January 2012, vocalist Nick Hilscher leads the band.

Today, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.

those immediate risks fast,” Ryan said. “Those emergency permits can be as simple as people call us and tell us what they are going to do, and we give the okay over the phone.”

Ryan said permits are free and can be approved the day they hear about the issue. She said they had provided Wallace with material in mid-January and let her know that she may need to get approval from the county.

A long-term solution will be needed to stabilize the bank with the Removal Fill Permit. The short-term solution would provide a

temporary, immediate fix.

Wallace said that Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity stated that he would provide an authorization for permit to down the tree because it is in danger of damaging the home, and possibly neighboring properties.

“It would create a dam type situation on the river which would impact everyone above me on Blaser Lane and probably Tillamook River Road properties,” Wallace said.

According to Wallace, Laity provided two new contractors who are working with De Blasi to pro-

vide an estimate. They also noticed that if it is not fixed soon in an appropriate manner while weather allows, eventually it may take out Weber Road. Wallace said Laity and the contractors are trying to work towards a long-term solution, rather than a temporary fix.

One of the contractors, Jake Bruns, said he is still figuring out the quantities and price. He is working with the state and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to figure out the best fix and what will be needed in order to do that.

Wallace has not received a dollar figure yet.

nership and other agencies have agreed that the bank needs emergency stabilization as soon as possible.

Wallace does not have any family or any place to go. Someone from Red Cross called her and asked if the water is coming in to her house. Wallace said it is beneath the floor boards right now. Red Cross said that because it is not in the house, they cannot help.

“The bank needs to be stabilized and the tree needs to be cut down,” Wallace said. “Michael De Blasi, of Oregon Department of State Lands, said the tree should be cut down and needs to be done in a manner that it doesn’t hazard the water.”

Michael Sinnott, assistant district fish biologist at ODFW, said in a letter to De Blasi, that it appears that the bank is eroding toward the house. Wallace is also concerned about a spruce tree that appears to be leaning towards the river and would like to have it cut down.

If the tree falls by itself, Wallace and her neighbors will be in trouble, she said.

“I need help to save my home, and not only mine,” Wallace said. “There are two senior citizens next to me.”

The problem is taking her neighbor’s bank away as well, Wallace said.

Wallace continues to call and ask for help from agencies such as CARE, Inc. and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Although she cannot make a GoFundMe page herself, she hopes someone will. If someone started a GoFundMe page, she knows a couple of cousins back east who would help.

Communications manager for Oregon Department of State Lands, Ali Ryan, said to stabilize the bank, Wallace need to get a Removal Fill Permit.

“But when the unstable bank is creating a safety risk, we can issue an emergency permit because we want people to address

McCraw running for Tillamook County Sheriff McCraw was on active duty in the U.S. Navy , 10 years as an Air Traffic Controller, and 10 years as an Aviation Forecaster, retiring as the Chief in Charge of the New Orleans Air Station Weather Office.

About two years after his arrival he was appointed as the director of emergency management where he has assisted the county through numerous severe weather events.

McCraw said that he has always given 110 percent at all he does.

“Many already know my dedication to Tillamook County through my Gordon’s Update pages, Nixle, and my social media presence. I would continue to demonstrate the drive displayed during my time as your emergency manager into my new position,” McCraw said.

“As your sheriff, I would

work hard to continue the progress the sheriff’s office has seen in the past few years under the leadership of Andy Long and Jim Horton. There are many challenges in the county, and I hope to provide the necessary leadership to meet and overcome these challenges. I have learned that relationships are primary and know that I carry no biases, we will work as a team.”

McCraw said he would continue to work on achieving 24-hour patrol service to the increasing populating and tourism of Tillamook County.

“There is much work to be done with regards to addressing drug and mental health issues in the county. Homelessness is an increasing law enforcement problem throughout the state and even in Tillamook County,” McCraw said. “I

have formed many relationships over the years as your emergency manager.

I am certain these partnerships will help tackle the ongoing problems in our

City of Tillamook bumps up chlorine in drinking water City of Tillamook officials said in a statement they are working collaboratively with Tillamook County Health and the Oregon Health Authority on response to the coronavirus. One of the recommendations is to sanitize or disinfect surfaces, shelves, door knobs, light switches, etc.

The City of Tillamook Water Treatment Plant uses chlorine as a disinfectant to treat drinking water. City officials said this is a common practice used by water operators around the globe. The City of Tillamook generally manages the chlorine concentrations

at six parts per million (ppm). A statement from city officials said they are increasing the chlorine content to eight ppm to assist with cleaning.

The City of Tillamook has the ability to make chlorine for its drinking water. If sanitizing and disinfectant supplies become short in supply, city officials said there is enough chlorine for the drinking water to weather any shortage.

All disinfectants have a contact time needed for disinfection, ranging from a few seconds to several minutes. Please check your container for instructions

and correct contact time to be effective.

To mix a sanitizer, you will need 50 to 200 ppm of bleach to water. Add 1-2 teaspoons of bleach to one gallon of water will give you this concentration. Sanitizers need to be on the surface for two minutes.

Friday, March 6, during a traffic stop at Spruce Street and U.S. Route 101 in Bay City.

Authorities said the stop was conducted pursuant to an ongoing investigation of methamphetamine drug sales.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office said Anderson was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia,

a significant amount of cash, and a restricted weap-

on - a sap. He was charged with criminal conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine and will be facing additional charges.

“One of our office’s goals is to aggressively combat the drug epidemic in our community that touches so many of our lives,” Sheriff Jim Horton said in a press release. “Our relationships with our partner agencies is paramount in these efforts.”

McCraw said that he would be honored to run for the office.

McCraw came to Tillamook County in 2006 after he and his family decided to move out of the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. He had been a police patrolman in the city of Gretna Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans, and was recruited by Sheriff Anderson at the time, to come to Tillamook County.

He had graduated from the Police Academy in 1996 and was a patrol sergeant and senior crime scene technician for the city at the time of his transfer.

The McCraw’s had ties to Tillamook through his wife’s Heidi (Schneidecker) family at the time.

She had wanted to move back to the area for some time. Prior to become a law enforcement officer,

From humble beginnings, the idea grew into a house-packing showstopper. The first event drew around 700 guests; 2019’s estimated attendance was 1,100.

“We do as much as we can every year to change up the event so it doesn’t get stale,” Larson said. “Something that’s really drawn a

Plans for Grocery Outlet in Tillamook pass DEQ Hilary Dorsey headlightreporter@ countrymedia.net City Manager Paul Wyntergreen announced at the March 2 Tillamook City Council meeting that the plans for Grocery Outlet have passed Oregon Department of Quality (DEQ) and will be proceeding soon.

Lauren Wirtis, public affairs specialist at DEQ, said DEQ approved the water quality permit, officially called the 401 Water Quality Certification, for Grocery Outlet in Tillamook. After a thorough review, DEQ determined that the applicant had provided reasonable assurance that there would be no detrimental impacts to water quality as a result of the project.

The developer, Dan Dover

of Main & Main, did not immediately respond to the Headlight’s request for comment.

The Tillamook City Planning Commission approved the proposed site plan for a Grocery Outlet location at a meeting in October 2018.

The proposed 18,000 squarefoot store will be located between Roby’s on Hwy 101 and the Coastal Plaza.

The site plan was approved by the planning commission with 17 conditions, including the requirement for a removal/fill permit from the Division of State Lands and the Army Corps of Engineers, that no development will be conducted until a storm drainage and erosion control plan is approved, and the conceptual design will be brought into compliance with all city standards.

results, the statement said.

County commissioners urged the public to avoid unnecessary social contacts in the coming weeks. In the statement, they said there are “very likely” people in the community who have been exposed, are now carriers of the virus and may not even know they are sick.

The commissioners’ statement suggested avoiding social contacts including public meetings, social events, church, shopping and any occasion where you might be exposed to the virus or unwittingly spread it. They hope to prevent

a surge that would leave hospitals and clinics overwhelmed with sick patients.

“We want everyone to get the best possible care when they need it in a facility that is not overwhelmed,” the statement said. “This requires lifestyle changes of us all. Please do not visit people in precarious health, newborns, people who are immunosuppressed or in fragile health” The commissioners recommended that the public check out books and movies online through the Tillamook County Library, consider using ClickList at Fred Meyer or go shopping early or late to avoid the crowds, watch religious services on TV, call your friends and family - stay in touch but not in person.

Fight the good fight Paul Fournier Leslie Manners has always taken her health and fitness seriously. The 42 year-old mother of two boys, Max and Body, was a regular at the Tillamook YMCA, often working-out five days a week. She ate healthy foods and gently pushed her fishing guide husband, “Big Dave,” of Big Dave’s Fishing Adventures, to also make positive eating choices. So, when she noticed blood in her stool two years ago, she didn’t think much of it. At her annual OB-GYN checkup, she mentioned it and was referred to a gastrointestinal specialist for followup. Because of a family history of polyps in Leslie’s family history, a colonoscopy was also scheduled.

“I scheduled it for three months later in September, when my husband would be back from fishing in Alaska,” Manners said. It was during that screening that a large tumor was found in her rectum. Doctors told Leslie that surgery to remove the tumor would be necessary, but a biopsy would be completed before they scheduled the surgery.

“A few days later, the results came back as non-cancerous.” Yet, that seemingly positive prognosis was short lived.

Doctors scheduled a preoperation lower endoscopy and Leslie had a friend drive her to the appointment, thinking it would be another routine procedure. “When I woke up from the screening, the doctor came and told me that it was cancer and that the roots of the tumor had penetrated into the colon wall.” In addition to surgery to remove the tumor, Leslie was told she would also need radiation and chemotherapy. As expected, the diagnosis was devastating.

“I was in complete shock.

I was doing everything I thought I should be doing - I didn’t eat red meat, spent five days a week at the gym - it didn’t make sense.”

Leslie began praying every day for help and guidance.

A CAT scan revealed that Leslie had Stage 3 colon cancer and it had spread to two of her lymph nodes.

A PET scan then showed

Popeye Power Smoothie Makes 4 cups

Leslie had a nodule in her thyroid which was stage 1 cancer, but curable. “I remember asking, why me?

But then I said, why not me?

At the time, it didn’t make sense, but later, you think, maybe there is a reason for it.” And with that, the fight was on.

Chemotherapy, radiation, Western medicine, Eastern medicine, supplements, genetic testing, medication trials, naturopathic therapies - nothing was off the table. Leslie was determined to do everything she could to fight the cancer and felt fortunate to have the ability to pursue multiple treatment options - if not just for her, then for her family. “I went to a practitioner of Chinese medicine. I switched to a plant-based organic diet and I juiced everyday, spending more for organic veggies and vitamin C IV therapy and mistletoe injections.”

Leslie’s battle would be financially taxing, but the family pressed on. “Insurance doesn’t cover holistic treatments at this time.”

Leslie’s journey provides

an important reminder that early detection and prevention is key to saving money and lives.

It is recommended that, with any colorectal cancer diagnosis, other family members also get screened.

Leslie was advised that her family members should be screened 10 years prior to the age Leslie was at her diagnosis. In what seems to be a recurring theme in colorectal cancer diagnoses, screening often does more than just save one life, and with Leslie’s story, this rings true. “My sister Julie had turned 50. She got screened and they found three polyps. One of them was Stage 1 cancer and was treatable. My screening and diagnosis saved my sister’s life.”

The side effects of the chemo and radiation can be brutal. However, Leslie credits her full-court press on her cancer - the homeopathic therapies, acupuncture, massage, yoga, the diet and exercise regime, traditional medical interventions, her faith and cancer

support group - as a huge influence on her being alive today. “At one point during chemotherapy, the oncologist said to me, ‘You are the healthiest cancer patient that I have right now.” As with any health challenge, maintaining a positive outlook and having a network of support are tied to better outcomes.

The battle continues for Leslie, but her determination has only grown stronger. “In October I had a CT scan which was clear. My colonoscopy in December was also clear.” Leslie believes that talking about

Another

colorectal cancer screening is important, and that with knowledge, you are much better equipped to deal with a diagnosis if it ever occurs.

“I would say, slow down.

You didn’t get it overnight.

Change your diet immediately, then network, research and look outside the box.

Have the will and have faith. And get screened, because screening is easy, and early screening saved my life.”

Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. And it is the most preventable. Any person, age 50-75, should

be screened. Contact your healthcare provider to schedule your screening and to find out if you are eligible for a $25.00 gift card*. *For individuals that are currently due for screenings or have never been screened. Screening must be completed by May 31, 2020.

Gift cards will be mailed upon verification of completion of screening.

Spring Whale Watch Week returns as Gray whales migrate north T

he Spring Whale Watch Week event returns to the coast Saturday, March 21, through Sunday, March 29, to celebrate the more than 25,000 Gray whales expected to migrate north past Oregon over the next few months. Trained volunteers will be stationed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day at some of the best whale watching sites on the coast, ready to help visitors spot the whales and to answer questions about the animals.

Due to lower volunteer turnout this year, not all sites will be staffed by volunteers or park rangers. Check the whale watch webpage for the latest information and updates before you head to the coast.

Whale spotters can also visit the newly-renovated Whale Watching

Center in Depoe Bay; it will be open 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily. The center features interactive whale exhibits and panoramic ocean views.

A live stream of whale activity in Depoe Bay returns this spring too; watch it on the Oregon State Parks YouTube channel each day during the event or catch the archived streams throughout the week.

In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is prioritizing visitor health and will not provide shared binoculars at viewing sites. Visitors are encouraged to stay home if they are feeling sick.

Gray whales migrate north along the coast annually during spring, following a route to Alaskan waters

after spending the winter in the warm lagoons off the coast of Baja, Mexico.

Many of the Gray whales will be accompanied by their new calves, born during the winter. The first large groups of whales swim by Oregon mid-March and the migratory stream typically continues into June.

GARDENING MATTERS

Mid-March spring cleaning GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT

M

id-March is one of the best times to get out into the garden and do some spring cleaning.

Much more fun than spring cleaning inside the house but every bit as important to the health and vitality of the summer gardens.

Since it is most likely the first time to do any real work in the yard, I will start with a brisk walk around the paths to get warmed up.

This gives me a chance to see what really needs to be done and prioritize my day.

Once I am warmed up a bit, I will do some leg and arm stretches. Nothing too vigorous, just a little warmup for muscles I haven’t used since last October. Oh, yes, I like to think walking and doing weight training will keep me in shape, but gardening takes muscles we forget we have over the winter. And the last thing I want to do is be sore the next morning.

My first task is to pick up all the twigs and branches that have blown down over the winter. Off they go to the brush pile. Luckily, the brush pile has been composted a bit since last summer as it was piled pretty high. But the rains and natural decay have reduced the pile to half its size in October. So it is ready to be piled on again. I do try to break the twigs and cut the branches into smaller pieces so they will break down faster in the pile. I will also rake up some leaves and put them on as well. I don’t rake too much, as a layer of leaves will serve as a warming mulch until the ground warms up, usually in May. But I can certainly take up all the leaves on the paths and compost them on the brush pile.

Which brings me to talk a little bit about the difference between a compost pile and a brush pile. My compost is in a bin that I add my larger vegetable and fruit scraps to, as well as some grass clippings and a few brown leaves. Smaller pieces of veggies and fruit go into the worm bin for the worms to break down into “worm tea” that I use to fertilize my orchids and other plants. My brush pile is

for larger things like large twigs, small branches, fern leaves that I will cut off this month, and some browned leaves. I do not use the decayed materials from the brush pile as mulch or fertilizer as I also add most of my weed leaves to this pile.

Not all the weeds, as I bag ones that have flowered and gone to seed for the trash.

I don’t want weed seeds in the brush pile or the compost bin. (As you can see, composting is a real art that is best left for another column!)

After I have cleaned the paths of leaves and sticks, I move into the flower beds to collect the sticks that have fallen there. Alders are notorious for having weak branches that fall in the wind, so there is usually a lot to do in the beds surrounding the alders. But I love my alders as they are so stately and old that they define the gardens as much as the rhodies and hostas.

While I am in the flower beds, I will also pull any tiny ivy sprouts or bay laurel shoots I see. Pulling them now makes for less work in a week or two when they have had time to more firmly take root.

These won’t go into the brush pile nor the compost because of the easiness of them re-growing to create a real problem later. So they get bagged for the trash.

Also in the flower beds are sprouts of hosta (already!) and other perennials. I will pull the leaves away from them, as well as pull the weeds that have started to grow near them. I have to be very cautious as I have been known to pull seedlings that I thought were weeds only to remember they were a desirable plant that self-seeds and now I have pulled them out. So now I

hanks go to Dr. Deke Gundersen, toxicologist, for a very informative presentation entitled “Pesticides and Environmental Justice: Impacts on Community Health” at the recent North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection event held in Rockaway Beach.

People from as far away as Astoria and Lincoln City attended this event, and many of them said that Gundersen made toxicology understandable. They appreciated that he talked about our concerns regarding exposure to the pesticides used in industrial forestry practices.

Gundersen emphasized that these are usually mixtures of four to six chemicals and that there is very little testing or knowledge available about what happens when they are combined. With mixtures of several chemicals, there can be a synergistic effect, meaning that the mixture may be far more potent that any one chemical by itself. Also, there is very little testing for the presence of these chemicals in our water; therefore, it’s hard to know if, on a long-term basis, our water is safe to drink.

Air and soil are also not tested adequately for the presence of harmful chemicals.

There is currently no DEQ air monitoring on the North Coast. Gundersen validated our concerns that the spraying of pesticides as a part of industrial forestry is a public health issue that can put at risk our health and the health of fish and other wildlife.

Furthermore, Gundersen questioned the need for the use of pesticides, since there is research showing that trees can be grown well without them. He also gave us some ideas as to what we could be

doing in our local communities. He suggested we could form an advisory board of experts from the fields of toxicology, forestry, law, fish and wildlife, and policy and public health. He agreed to be the first person on this advisory board.

Another possibility is for us to collect raw data from local people regarding their health in the last 10 years so that an epidemiological study could be done tracking local health problems within our population. A number of times, Gundersen emphasized the importance of the NCCWP “Speaking Truth To Power” talks that help to educate people about harmful industrial forestry practices. He happened to mention that during his overnight stay down here at the coast, he questioned whether or not he should even drink the local water. We are indeed very fortunate to have him as a knowledgeable resource.

Thanks also go to Ephraim Payne from Beyond Toxics for filming Gundersen’s talk.

Payne will be making a short documentary about Gundersen for Beyond Toxics, and he will produce a version of it that we at NCCWP can share. Thanks again to Beyond Toxics for their help. More information about their work can be found at beyondtoxics.org Our name, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly known as Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection), reflects our working together on a regional basis to ensure that the air we breathe and the water we drink are safe. https://healthywatershed. org/ https://www.facebook.com/ rockawaybeachcitizens

What a spectacular weekend for the Cape Meares contingent in the Beachcombers’ Fun Fair in Ocean Shores, Washington, earlier this month.

Kathy Burke entered six items in the fair. The first was “Beach Spirits,” a skeletal figure created from driftwood; it won not only a blue ribbon but a “Best in Class” ribbon as well. Another exhibit featured 10 non-glass floats, one a special scientific instrument float that had been donated by BJ Byron; this exhibit took a blue ribbon. Kathy’s collection of foreign bottles brought home blue, and her husband’s pair of glass floats collected a third-

Kiawanda Community Center (KCC) will host a flea market from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, to kick off Memorial Day weekend.

They are renting eight-foot round tables for $ 20 each and six-foot oblong tables for $15.

(There’s a $5 discount on the total rental for multiple tables.)

I plan to be among the vendors.

Hope he wants us back when she’s through spoiling him.

n Spirit Continued from Page A18 munity Fund awarded 2,814 grants to nonprofit

organizations in Northwest Oregon totaling $83,597,506.

“The strength of our local partnerships is something Spirit Mountain Community Fund takes pride in,” said Executive Director Mychal Cherry in a press release.

“It is an honor and privilege to support those organizations in NW Oregon who are working to improve the quality of life for families, making it a better place to live, work and thrive. Hayu Masi (Many Thanks).”

both a blue ribbon and a “Best in Class” ribbon. Way to go, Kathy.

Sue Beckman entered four items in the fair and took home a ribbon for each entry. A blue ribbon was awarded to her crisp picture of a seagull perched on a rock as ocean waves poured over nearby boulders. Sue garnered red ribbons for both a gorgeous mahogany CD case that she built out of pieces of wood washed up on the beach and an unusual glass float with a bumpy exterior. Her final ribbon, a yellow for honorary mention, was for a picture of Cape Meares lighthouse. Congrats, Sue.

A neighbor commented on the sad-looking spruce trees here. He said that he had read an article in a recent edition of the “Daily Astorian” suggesting infestations of the spruce needle aphids are cyclical and the trees might spring back. Hope springs eternal.

Now a word from Pete Steen, a neighborhood captain for emergency preparedness: We in Cape Meares are proud of our disaster preparation efforts for earthquake, tsunami, wildfire, utility outages, etc. Now, worldwide, hundreds of thousands of people are quarantined in their homes for 14+ days because of

COVID-19. Are you prepared to be confined to your home for two weeks, let alone three or more months after the forecasted Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake?

Marilyn Bishop in Northeast Portland realized that her neighbors were not prepared for any sudden disaster. In 2016, she started Cascadia Quake Kits, a series of two-week kits available in three levels: “The Starter” ($299 and up, depending on the number of people), “The Essential” ($499 and up) and “The Comprehensive” ($899 and up). She based her kits on the recommendations from Oregon Office of Emer-

gency Management and the American Red Cross Cascades Region guidelines. All kits have 14 days of water storage and essential safety supplies. The second two contain toilet systems, and the Comprehensive includes freeze-dried food with a 25-year shelf life as well as camping supplies. She also has athree-day kit for your car. Ms. Bishop did extensive product testing and research before arriving at her final products.

She donates a portion of the proceeds from every kit sold to local preparedness initiatives.

To learn more, contact Ms. Bishop at 503-894-5100 or visit https://cascadiaquakekits.com.

No meeting this month for the Oyster Club. But the wonderful volunteers who stepped forward last week have taken some of the festival responsibilities off my shoulders. The famous Quaker saying, “many hands make light work”

is especially true when an organization is totally supported by volunteers.

They are going to be serving hot dogs and chili dogs beginning around 11:30. By the way, if you are tech savvy, sign up for the cleanup online. (https://solveoregon.org/ spring-oregon-beach-cleanup)

The Meals for Seniors Beakfast is the same day as the Solve Beach Cleanup. It is Saturday, March 28 from 8-noon, at the St. Mary’s by the Sea Hall in Rockaway Beach. At this yummy breakfast, you will not just have French toast served with berry compote, but you will also enjoy link sausage, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee. All are welcome and bring your kids. Cost is by donation and all contributions will keep the Meals for Seniors Program going.

Easter is coming fast. I

love Easter. So, great news: the Merchants Association and Rockaway Beach Fire Department are planning the Annual Rockaway Beach Easter Egg Hunt at the Phyllis Baker City Park on Saturday, April 11. The Easter eggs are getting prepared, and will soon be ready for all the kids.

The Merchants Association has a scavenger hunt planned with local participating businesses, with a drawing for the prizes at the end of the day. Prizes include two bikes and one adult basket. And that’s just the beginning. Also,

Etcetera is going to be selling their new t-shirts that say, “Hate Cancer, not each other.”

I like that. More information in my future columns.

And lastly, don’t forget to sign up for Wally Nelson’s Ballroom Dance class with the community college beginning April 6th. You can get all the information you need in the community college pamphlet.
