Halloween fun around county

Chelsea Yarnell Guest Contributor

This is Part One of a two part feature on local 2022 Halloween events. Read next week’s edition for another feature on local events.

Trunk-or-Treat Port of Garibaldi

The Port of Garibaldi is focusing on a safe Halloween.

The weekend before Halloween, the Port of Garibaldi will host their first ever Trunk-or-Treat event on Oct. 22 from 3-6 p.m.

“Since we are the week before Halloween, we are going to pass out a packet of safety information for how to have a safe Halloween,” Port of Garibaldi Events and Tour ism Coordinator Laura Schmidt said. “We’re partnering with local safety responders to promote a safe Halloween experience in our com munity.”

Participating vehicles in the trunk-or-treat event will line Biak Avenue. The street will be closed to thru traffic so pedestrians can safely walk the streets and trick-or-treat.

“I was hired on this year to bring more events to the community,” Schmidt said. “During Garibaldi Days, one of our locals did a car show on Biak [Avenue] and it turned out really neat with the marina in the backdrop. I thought it would be really cool to do some thing similar for Halloween.”

In addition to candy, attend ees can expect games and prizes, voting for their favorite decorated trunk, and participate in a scaven ger hunt.

“The scavenger hunt is geared for people to go to local business es,” Schmidt said. “People will get their little checklist and can return the completed form to enter a raffle drawing for a free Port of Garibaldi kids’ size sweatshirt.”

Registration is still open for those who wish to participate by decorating a vehicle trunk.

Registration is required at: https://forms.gle/eKrqszh vrkLqU2hc6

If you would like to volunteer or donate to the event, please contact Laura Schmidt at 503-374-1424 or events@portofgaribaldi.org.

Trunk-or-Treat

Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue

A community favorite is back for its third year.

Trunk-or-Treat hosted by Rocka way Beach Fire & Rescue will be hosted Oct. 29 from 1-3 p.m. at the Rockaway Beach Wayside (Hwy 101 & S. Pacific).

“[Three years ago] we didn’t have one,” Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Todd Hesse said.

“We saw a need in the community, especially during COVID, to let the kids in the community have a trickor-treating opportunity.”

Since its first year, the event has grown from four participating vehicles to a dozen plus.

“It’s growing at a great rate and our community loves it,” Hesse said. “Our firefighters come down and interact with the kids and have a great time. You don’t have kids roaming in the neighborhoods, you can put it all in one confined space…and have vendors with people you can trust.”

Fire engines will be on site for kids to explore as well as demon strations for adults.

“It’s a good event for everyone; kids of all ages,” said Hesse.

In addition to candy, Rockaway

Fire & Rescue will distribute a safety item, such as glow stick, to attendees.

“We usually pass out something to mark a dark costume so that the kids are lit and can be seen when walking around,” Hesse said.

Sparky the firedog will also make an appearance and be ready for Halloween photos with trick-ortreaters.

There is still plenty of room for participating trunks. Registration is required and can be completed by contacting the Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue Station at 503-3552291.

Swiss Society to Celebrate 100 years

I

t is not covered in a lot of his tory books, but the Swiss were in America long before the United States was even an idea. More than 200 years, in fact. But, as with many other immigrant groups, it was the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the pace of immigration started to pick up.

Nearly a quarter million Swiss are estimated to have arrived in the U.S. between 1860 and the 1910s. Among those pioneers were some who made their way to the Pacific Northwest—Oregon, to be exact— and settled in Tillamook County.

Proud of the heritage they brought to their new country, those settlers eventually founded the Tillamook Swiss Society in 1922. A century later, the community is about to celebrate the organization’s 100th anniversary.

“The Swiss pioneers brought their expertise in dairy farming to this Oregon coastal environment, with the promise of building a new life for their families and creating a com munity,” said Julie Hurliman, a 4th generation Tillamook Swiss and the Community and Industry Programs Manager for Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. “With their hard work, collaboration and resilience, they laid the foundation for the area’s cheese making business—now a nationally known brand. I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate the cultural bonds of our community.”

T

erry Phillips has built a strong portfolio of busi nesses in Tillamook over the last twenty-three years, all while stay ing focused on improving the town and giving back to Tillamook.

“I love this community,” Phillips said. “I feel business owners are obligated to give back.”

Phillips owns several commer cial properties in downtown Til lamook and operates North Coast Lawn and the Dutch Mill Café. He is currently preparing to open his new tanning salon and finishing up work on another Main Avenue property.

Phillips was born in Tillamook and grew up in Fort Hood, before moving back to Tillamook 40 years ago. In the 1990s, he became involved in drug dealing, ending up in the Oregon State Penitentiary for a year in 1995.

“That’s state custody, it gets no better than that,” Phillips joked.

He continued selling drugs after

At first, Phillips mowed lawns himself, starting with neighbors, but his clientele soon expanded to local businesses spurring fast growth of and leading it to profit ability in less than a decade.

For Phillips, it was important to establish his businesses in Tilla mook.

“It’s easy to run from your problems,” he said, “but to have a bad reputation and to turn yourself around in the same town is a dif ficult challenge, but I think it was a challenge that was worth taking on.”

Once North Coast Lawn had become established, Phillips began expanding into real estate around 2010, buying a storage rental facil ity on Third Street and building a portfolio of residential properties around town.

Phillips was successful in resi dential property management but has shifted his focus to commercial properties in the last five years.

He bought the Dutch Mill Cafe on Main Avenue and completely renovated the restaurant, which he now operates.

“I wanted to create something that was memorable to people and enjoyable to people,” he said of the Dutch Mill project.

That is an ethos that Phillips has continued to bring to more projects

downtown. He is currently finish ing up remodeling work on the old Cook’s Drug Store building across the street from the Dutch Mill, with opening expected later this month.

He is also in the middle of a major project on a building in the Second Street pedestrian plaza.

Phillips expects the project to take another three to five years to complete, but when finished it will house nine apartments upstairs and commercial space downstairs.

Phillips views the revitalization of Tillamook’s downtown as an important project in which he is excited to play a role.

“There’s activity downtown now, I think we were forgotten for a while, but I think it piques people’s interest and motivates people,” he said of the recent redevelopment

he and other building owners have been undertaking.

He pointed specifically to the Salty Raven boutique operated by Seasons Kaz Sparks, Todd Boucha rd’s redevelopment of buildings on First Street and Lisa Greiner’s on going development of apartments above the Oregon Coast Dance Center, as examples of the kind of projects downtown needs.

“People aren’t going to stop for one or two little businesses,” Phil lips said. “But if there’s a handful, six, eight, ten, they’re likely to stop.”

After twenty years in business in Tillamook County, Phillips feels called to continue to give back to

The Tillamook Swiss Society has been celebrating with traditional dances, music and food every year since it was founded; but this year is, of course, one of special significance. All the stops are being pulled out for a particularly memorable event on Saturday, November 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Tillamook Fairgrounds. Admission is free, and there will be food for sale at the event.

Swiss culture at every turn The day begins with a 5K run. But this no ordinary 5K. It’s the Lederhosen 5K Fun Run, challenging participants to make it to the finish line wearing the traditional shorts and suspenders many non-Swiss associate with yodelers from old movies. Prior registration and a registration fee are required to participate in the Fun Run.

The cultural salute continues with Swiss music and dance throughout the day, including accordion players, choral groups, alphorns, yodeling, dance academy performers, dance les sons, and even highly-skilled Tirolean dancers.

There are even Swiss sports on the agenda: a Schwingen competition and a Steinstossen competition.

Schwingen is a traditional style of Swiss wrestling in which competi tors face each other in a sawdust ring wearing schwinghosen over their trou sers. Schwinghosen is a rough-mate rial pair of shorts secured by a strong leather belt that is grasped in order to perform holds and throws.

Trunk-or-Treat hosted by Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue will be hosted Oct. 29 from 1-3 p.m. at the Rockaway Beach Wayside (Hwy 101 & S. Pacific).

School board listens to reports, Superintendent talks elections

Will Chappell Reporter

Tillamook School Dis trict Board met last Monday evening at Tillamook High School, spending most of the

hearing reports from various members of the district community.

First up was Communica tions Officer for the Associat ed Student Body of Tillamook High School, Jack Sappington. Sappington delivered a report on homecoming week at the high school.

Sappington said the week had been an all-around suc cess, with the volleyball team continuing their undefeated season in Friday’s homecom ing game. He noted that the “anything but a backpack” theme on Friday had led to calls from Safeway and Fred

Meyer requesting the return of the shopping carts borrowed by students.

The district’s Director of Curriculum, David Wallace, then delivered the statemandated annual report on the district’s curriculum.

He said that he had determined that the district had been in compli ance with Oregon Depart ment of Education curriculum standards during the 2021-22 school year. The board voted to accept the report later in the evening.

District Superintendent Curt Shelley then delivered the lengthiest report of the eve ning, addressing the impacts of elections in November be fore endorsing two programs he would like to bring to the district.

Shelley said that the unknown outcome of the up

coming elections coupled with the school district’s biennial funding cycle made planning difficult. With control of both houses of the state government and the governor’s mansion up for grabs there is consider able uncertainty for educators about the level of funding available going forward.

The superintendent also said that the new governor’s choice of state superintendent and education department policy positions would have a direct impact on the district’s operations.

He then discussed two edu cational initiatives he would like to bring to the district.

The first was the Advance ment Via Individual Determi nation (AVID) program, which trains teachers and administra tors and offers a bevy of edu cational tools to help enhance

school performance.

Shelley said that the Til lamook School District has been lagging slightly behind the Oregon average and other comparable districts in terms of testing. He believes that AVID would help to address that gap.

“It teaches us to be good teachers and we can all use a refresher on that,” Shelley said.

The program would be rolled out across the district over a period of three years and would cost around $4,000 per school to implement.

The second program Shel ley discussed was Bal-A-VisX. It uses ball exercises to help increase balance and visual acuity causing with other, ad ditional benefits for students.

Shelley, who is a trained in structor in the program, touted

its positive impact on student impulsivity, behavior, anxiety and cognitive function. He said that he thought the pro gram would help students in the district but acknowledged difficulties with licensing it from its developer.

The board also heard a financial report and reports from teachers’ union represen tatives, before board members each delivered updates about their activities over the last month.

Several of the commission ers had attended the opening of the outdoor school and re marked positively on the event and the staff at the school.

The board then approved a contract with the Port of Tillamook for the operation of the new disc golf course at the port, set to open next spring.

They also approved student

trips for the upcoming year, including the resumption of the optional annual trip to Washington D.C. and New York next summer for eighth graders at Tillamook Junior High School.

Stephen Owens, a teacher at the junior high, had detailed the east coast trip earlier in the meeting. He said that the trip would take place over five days in mid-June, costing around $2,500 per student (to be paid by families wishing to participate) and that there had been 50 signups so far.

Finally, the board appointed members to the budget com mittee before adjourning.

Commissioners approve filming of religious movie on Bayocean

Will Chappell Reporter

Tillamook’s Board of County Com missioners approved the filming of a Mormon religious movie on Bayocean Peninsula in their weekly meeting last Wednesday.

Commissioners addressed a brief agenda before hearing a presentation about the movie.

Kent Findlay, location manager for the project, told the board that the movie will focus on the Jaredites, who the Lat ter Day Saints believe arrived in North America from Israel before eventually

going extinct.

Findlay said that Bayocean Penin sula is a perfect filming location for the project.

It will allow producers to film scenes representing an eight year journey at locations in a four mile stretch. He also pledged that the production team would leave no trace.

Other than approving the filming, the agenda was filled with clerical items.

The board approved the annual ap plication, along with Tillamook County Community Health, to certify require ments that allow the center to maintain its federal certification.

Commissioners then approved amend ments to the emergency repair plans for the Dick Creek Bridge on Bayocean Road required to maintain Department of Transportation funding for the project.

They also approved a master services agreement with RingCentral to upgrade the county’s phone system, which will take effect January 1.

Commissioners also appointed Bay City City Manager Liane Welch to rep resent Tillamook County in the Oregon Department of Transportation’s North west Area Commission on Transporta tion.

Bay City Council happy to hear about windfalls at meeting

Will Chappell Reporter

Bay City experienced several unexpected financial windfalls in the month of September, the City Council learned at its monthly meet ing last Tuesday evening.

The council also approved several large expenditures at the meeting. The largest was to pay the $388,000 in out standing bills for the month of September. Also approved was $162,000 to pay for the drilling of a new water well for the city’s system.

The good financial news for the town started for the evening with announcements

that two separate fundraising initiatives had raised over $1,000 to benefit the Bay City Fire Department.

The first was a contri bution from the Bay City Booster Club, while the sec ond came courtesy of a raffle held by the Fire Department. The prize in the raffle was a quilt won by the neighbors across the street from the firehouse.

City Manager Liane Welch announced the closing of the sale of a property in town that had sat vacant for more than five years. The property sold for just over $69,000, and after paying outstanding bills and removing an RV,

more than $48,000 went into the city’s general fund.

Welch also told the meeting about a dona tion of $9,400 to the Fire Department by the Siletz Indian Tribe, earmarked for purchasing four new sets of turnout pants and jackets.

Welch and Mayor David McCall both thanked the Siletz tribe for their generous contribution.

The prominence of the Fire Department at the meet ing continued, fittingly as it was National Fire Prevention Week. The council approved a request to rename the Fire Training Hall after former Fire Chief Kenneth Hall.

It was also announced that the Bay City Booster Club was bringing back a program to install smoke detectors in local residences, with the help of volunteer firefight ers. The initiative has been funded for $2,000, in equal parts by the boosters and from the city’s Emergency Management Department budget.

Welch also announced that the city’s proposed ordinance regulating short-term rental properties was currently un der legal review. The council scheduled public comment on the proposed ordinance for next month’s board meet ing on November 8.

Rockaway Council approves $5K for Tides of Change

Will Chappell Reporter

Members of the Rockaway Beach community were well heard at the City Council meeting last Wednesday night, as the council addressed a light agenda.

In addition to a spirited public com ment portion of the meeting, residents shared their opinions on a moratorium on new short term rental licenses.

The only financial outlay approved on the evening was a grant of $5,000 to the Tides of Change center in Tillamook that works to support survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. Another grant request from Joe’s Snack and Bar

was returned to the applicant by the counsel, asking for more information on the proposed use of the funds.

Another portion of the meeting was occupied by an executive session of the council to discuss current litigation with their lawyer.

Before that session, various members of the public made comment to the coun cil on issues facing the city. First, a local father bemoaned the lack of activities for children offered in the city. Another criticized City Manager Luke Shepard’s handling of the sale of the old police building in 2020. A third complained about chronic flooding in low-lying areas of the city, demanding public works do

more to alleviate the problem

After the executive session, the council began discussion of a temporary moratorium on short term rental licenses being issued. The proposed moratorium would not affect currently held licenses and would have a set expiration date. It would serve to give the city a chance to craft new regulations for the properties. Both councilmembers and citizens at the meeting expressed reservations about the moratorium, and the council deter mined to set a public meeting to discuss the issue before taking further action. The meeting date was not chosen.

Steinstossen is similar to the shotput, except that the game’s rural roots have the competitors throwing large stones. To give you an idea of the dexterity required, an Ohio man once held a 21year steinstossen record for throwing a 138-pound stone a distance of 14 feet, 4 inches.

Anyone in search of a less culturally complex game can try the Corn Hole tournament or—for anyone who finds Corn Hole too tame—axe throwing. There are fees required for those games.

donating 100% of proceeds to giving local kids a shopping spree with a police officer in the run-up to Christmas.

He is enthusiastic about his work and hopes that the town will step up to match the recent improvements made by property owners. He bemoaned the infrequently maintained flower boxes, poor condition of railings and lack of street sweeping.

“I just hope we can start motivating (the city),” he said, “but maybe we’re gonna have

be the 2022 Tillamook June Dairy Ambassador Court, all of whom come from Tilla mook Swiss Pioneer families.

At noon, the Tillamook County Quilt Guild will open their Tidal Treasures Quilt Show celebrating 100 years of quilting; the guild will hold a quilt raffle, as well. Also at noon, a museum-style view ing of items form various Swiss heritage collections will begin.

To show there is no age limit for cultural pride, festival goers can also enjoy a Little Swiss competition in which boys and girls dress in traditional clothes.

The day will be capped of at 7 p.m. with the “tapping of the festival keg” followed by a joyful party named after a popular line dance called the Swiss Stomp. Music for thestomp will be provided by the very popular Pol katones—an eight-member traditional-costume band, sure to add plenty of oom-pah and two-quarter-time polka fun to the festivities.

A true community event

to take it upon ourselves.”

Phillips crackles with energy about his projects and positivity about Tillamook.

Although he won’t divulge specifics, there’s at least one more downtown project he has set his sites on, mean ing Tillamook can expect to see continuing improvement courtesy of Phillips for years to come.

“I’ve got other things that I want to do,” Phillips said. “I’m very motivated, I’m not stopping yet.”

The festival promises to be full day of fun, so to help festival-goers conserve their energy, Holly the Trolley will be on hand—courtesy of Tillamook County Transpor tation District—to provide free shuttle service around the fairgrounds from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Tillamook Swiss Centennial is a community sponsored event, with special support being provided by Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks Company, Tillamook Creamery, Fibre Federal Credit Union, Pelican Brew ing, Jenck Farms, Tillamook People’s Utility District, Rosenberg Builders Supply, Oregon Coast Bank, Umpqua Bank, Tillamook YMCA, Northwest Dance Academy, TP Freight Lines, Tillamook Trashers, Tillamook Swiss Society, and Tillamook Coast Visitors Association.

Sunset Tans opens

The new and improved Sunset Tans reopened, Monday, October 17, at 4630 Third Street.

The salon has three twelve-minute tanning beds and one ten-minute bed, all brand new and state of the art.

“We went over the top creating a business people can be proud of and want to come into,” Sunset Tans owner Terry Phillips said.

Phillips, who also owns the Dutch Mill Café on Main Avenue, likes to create busi nesses that stand out and appeal to passersby.

Sunset Tans sits next to a small oasis complete with pond and palm tree, and greets customers with a completely renovated waiting room, still smelling of new paint.

“We went top of the line all around,” Phillips said.

Sunset Tans will be open from Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Cape Meares resident Butch Freedman was bodyboarding in the ocean the other day, about 100 feet offshore, when two big sea lions swam right in front of him. They startled him and he jumped off his board, at which point the papa sea lion “hissed” at him. Then, thankfully, the two marine mammals swam off. Butch commented on how big they were.

I can attest to their general size, as we have seen very large sea lions stranded on Bayocean Spit from time to time. As for their aggres siveness, I saw a note on a science site online that while

sea lions are not known to be violent toward humans, male sea lions are territorial and can get physical trying to protect their personal space. Be careful out there, folks!

I have a beachcombing report for you…or is it a fishing report? Scott Gordon was walking on Cape Meares beach the other day when he came across a slithering mass of what looked like sand eels. They were actually small, bright silver fish called sand lances. These fish run anywhere from 8 to 18” in length and have forked tails, pointed snouts, long dorsal fins, and peculiar skin folds

on the lower sides. They swim in schools in the water and often burrow under sand.

Scott scooped up several sand lances and took them home to vacuum pack for fishing bait.

One, however, he used right away—and caught a salmon

in the ocean with it. Way to beachcomb—or, er, fish, Scott.

to one for the year, caught on certain days in a fiveweek time period. Several wild Chinook were turned back by participants during the two-day event. The 15 competitors fished hard, with two couples keeping their lines in the water until the last minute of the contest. There was a winner! Collin Foster of Portland won the prize for the largest salmon (aka The Big Hog) and the most salmon (aka The Big Pig) with a small wild coho caught on Saturday. Collin said he had been cleaning weeds off his fishing partner’s rod when a neighboring boat yelled,

“You have a fish on!” Another twist was that he was in the midst of a housing move and couldn’t find his usual tackle box. Collin also won the hardship award, having turned back a nearly 30-lb. Chinook with an oddly clipped adipose fin, thinking it was wild. However, he later looked at a chart available from Oregon Fish and Wildlife that shows legally clipped salmon with a variety of “misclips” and realized that he had released a qualifying hatchery Chinook. Despite this comedy of errors, Collin swept the 2022 derby; congrats to him.

Did you know that excessive alcohol use is a leading cause of death in Oregon? According to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), excessive alcohol use is the 3rd leading cause of death among Oregonians. To address this concern, the OHA launched a campaign called ‘Rethink the Drink’. The tar get audience for this campaign is adults who are at the legal age to drink who consume alcohol. One of the main components of this campaign is a website. People who visit the website can learn about excessive alcohol use, health consequences of excessive alcohol use, and learn where to get support for excessive alcohol use. The campaign’s website is www.rethinkthe drink.com.

Top takeaways from the ‘Rethink the Drink’ website:

• Excessive drinking includes underage drinking, drinking while pregnant, binge drinking, and heavy drinking

• More than 1 in 5 Oregon adults drink excessively.

• Excessive drinking increases a person’s risk of an alcohol use disorder, certain cancers (colorectal, prostate, breast, cancers of the mouth, etc.), heart disease, and liver disease.

• For some people, any amount of alcohol is too much, and can cause them harm.

• Not all drinks have equal alcohol content. Alcohol calculators can help a person understand how many stan dard drinks that are in each drink. For more information about standard drinks, review the National Institute on Alco hol Abuse and Alcoholism at www.niaaa.nih.gov.

• Binge drinking for a male is five or more drinks on one occasion. Binge drinking for females is four or more drinks on one occasion.

• Heavy drinking for a male is fifteen or more drinks per week. Heavy drinking for a female is, eight or more a drinks per week.

• Alcohol effects genders differently, male and female bodies process alcohol differ ently. The campaign linked a helpful webpage that a person can review to learn more

about these differences.

• A person can become more aware of their behaviors involving alcohol by utiliz ing the track, count, and shift method. Step 1 is to track the amount of drinks consumed. Step 2 is to calculate the total alcohol in each drink. Step 3 is to get advice and to shift to healthier options.

• For people who feel that they are in need of support to reduce excessive alcohol use, help is available. The cam paign website has a resource section to help Oregonians locate local supports utilizing the alcohol treatment naviga tor. One local provider that is located on the navigator is the Tillamook Family Counsel ing Center, to learn more call (503)842-8201.

Tillamook Living has arrived

Justin Aufdermauer Executive Director

The third edition of the Tillamook Liv ing Lifestyle and Relocation Magazine has arrived at the Chamber! Featuring new ar ticles, pictures, and highlights of local businesses. There is a great amount of potential in local publications, and Tilla mook Living is no exception.

As you may already know, the Chamber started publish ing Tillamook Living two years ago. The idea for the magazine was born out of several conversations with lo cal businesses, organizations, real estate agents, and other community leaders about how we could highlight our community to attract and re tain talented workers, as well as help newcomers settle in as they moved to Tillamook.

Last year the maga zine went through a major redesign, and this year we fo cused on writing new articles with local community mem

bers and gathering new pho tos to showcase how great our lifestyle in the Dairylands is. Covering all the ques tions or concerns a local or newcomer might have, from medical and emergency services to summer entertain ment and holiday festivities, Tillamook Living is the perfect resource for local needs. The final product is a seriously impressive resource that the entire Chamber team can be proud of.

The goal of Tillamook Living is to showcase how our community lives, cel ebrates, and all that we offer here. Our farming industry, our love for hiking, biking, camping, and even our obses sion with cheese. Tillamook is a unique place for many reasons, but mostly because we’ve managed to adapt and grow with a changing world while preserving important traditions.

One of the Chamber team’s favorite parts of the magazine is how genuine it

Moving forward

Ross Tomlin President

The fall term is well underway at TBCC. In fact, this week is already mid-term. Besides the growing number of aca demic programs we have been offering, we have just started a couple of new programs. One is an Entre preneurship option within our Business Management program.

The other new program is a Nursing Assistant program which awards a short-term certificate and prepares students to take the certifi cation exam to be licensed as a CNA. That class with 10 students is going on right now and will help produce some much needed CNAs for healthcare providers in Tillamook County.

We are also moving forward in the develop ment of our new Nursing program. We have the first big hurtle in November when our application is considered by the Oregon State Board of Nursing. If we pass that hurdle, we will be able to start marketing the program to get the word out to those students who will be eligible. Our plan is

to recruit our first cohort of students this coming spring to start their RN classes next fall. We are working with Adventist Health Tillamook to secure space at the hospital for lectures and labs for the nursing students next fall.

In other news of the college moving forward this year, we have just hired the firm, Wenaha, to be our project managers for both the renova tions to the new Center for In dustrial Technology building, as well as the new Healthcare Education building. One of their first tasks will be to help the college find architects to work on both projects. Once that is done sometime in early winter, we will start work on designing the new building.

We will pass on more infor mation about the construction projects as they progress.

Finally, we recently had two of our Board of Educa

is. All the content was written in-house at the Chamber, and the photos come from local photographers who have a special eye for what makes Tillamook great. This isn’t a promotional publication made by a company that has never been to Tillamook. It’s an authentic look at this place we call home, created by locals who not only live here but also care deeply for this community.

You can pick up a free copy of the Tillamook Living Magazine at Chamber HQ at 208 Main Ave. The magazine will also be available at local businesses and realtor offices for potential residents to take home and enjoy.

If you would like to re ceive a bundle of magazines to distribute through your business or just to your fam ily and friends, please call the Chamber at 503-842-7525 or email info@tillamookcham ber.org.

Ihave written several times about the impor tance of keeping a gardening journal before we start to make changes to our gardens. And while it would seem January is the best time to start a journal to get into the habit of keeping one, any time is a good time to start. And the end of the gardening season might be the best time of all.

“Why?” you ask. Autumn is the time when plants start to fold up shop for the winter, but it can also be a time of reflection as to what worked and what didn’t work in the Spring and Summer. For example, what slug baits worked best for you? For me it was the coffee grounds I would spread around vulner able plants all season.

But other questions popped to mind as I was cleaning up the hostas. Were there any plants that failed this year? My answer to that would be yes because several of

my older hosta seemed to be stressed and not doing well. When I looked further, I found it was because their roots had been undermined by chipmunks. That will be something I need to address next year for sure.

I had the same problem with my Rhododendron ‘Nancy Ev ans,” one of my all-time favor ite shrubs. The leaves started to brown and curl and upon inspection, the chipmunks had dug tunnels all around the base of the rhodie, too. No amount of fertilizer would help there, although perhaps it would be worse if I hadn’t fertilized. A

healthy plant is more likely to weather any problems.

My dahlias were a huge disappointment this year. I had beautiful plants but not a single bud to be seen. When I reviewed my journal from last fall, I realized I had not lifted and stored those tubers as I usually do. So perhaps that, plus a rainy, cool Spring, was the issue. This year I will lift those tubers and do what I always used to do and store them for the winter. I will note the day I do that in the journal as well.

And of course, the long, dry spell didn’t help anything either. I made note of that in my journal. We hadn’t had any measurable rain since the middle of June, so when we did get a nice rain at the end of September, I was sure to note that and include just how much rain we got. Keeping track of rainfall is an excellent use of a journal. When we look back over several years of journal ing, we may be able to see a

pattern and adjust our plant ings accordingly.

I do not limit myself to what happened in the past, though. I also make notes on what I want to change next growing season as well as what worked well and I want to do again. Those coffee grounds to keep slugs at bay will definitely be noted. And I need to add the varieties of annuals I bought this year that were spectacular, even in a drought. I will look for those again next Spring.

I put a gorgeous orange tuberous begonia in a large pot this year. It was very pretty in the big pot but some of its beauty was lost from having to be viewed on the ground. But next year, that same begonia is going into a hanging basket where it’s pendulous blooms can be better seen and enjoyed. But if I don’t make notes about it now, I may not remember what I had planned when April, 2023 rolls around.

I have mentioned before in columns that I keep my

journal as a Word document on my computer because I like being able to add photographs to illustrate the changes. But there are fancy, leather-bound journals that can be found in good bookstores as well as lesser-priced versions. Some people prefer a simple school notebook they can take into the garden with them to make notes. That works, too, as does a sketch pad for those garden ers who are also artistic and prefer drawings to photos.

In any case, even just a few words placed next to an il lustration or photo will remind you of why it was included in your journal.

I do encourage you to find the type of journal you like, whatever form it may take. You need one that will inspire you to keep current with your notes. For that is the most important part of any type of journal: filling it with infor mation.

they may be mailed. In order for it to count, ensure your signature is on the back of the outside envelope.

or pounding stakes, you’ll love the way they keep your imagination on the boil.

Music by Chris Moncrieffe includes eerie themes inspired by his favorite dark, east ern European Neo-classical composers. He also added a few light-hearted advertis ing jingles to help solidify the image of the 1940s radio show, and of course to thank the show’s sponsors, Wanda’s Cafe in Nehalem and The Little Apple in Manzanita.

Since the first rehearsal, the directors challenged the cast to consider the “character arc” of their roles. Cocklin and Bartrom charged the actors to explore the growth in their characters’ personali ties, which evolve from the introduction to the wild, ter rifying conclusion. Combined with the pace of events in the script, it makes for a very tight combination of plot and character.

Familiar faces include the always-delightful Margo McClellan, here playing Lucy Westenra. Lucy has been suffering from an undiag nosed but increasingly grave disease. “I hope to elicit chills and goosebumps from the audience,” Margo says. She has done precisely that to the rest of the cast since the earli est rehearsals.

Lucy’s fiancé, Jack Seward, is played by Jeff Sla mal, who has been involved in every Riverbend produc tion since 2017. Seward operates a sanitarium on the wild northeast coast of England. Lucy’s childhood friend, Mina Harker, is played with compassion and grow ing horror by Emily Dante, whom Dracula has chosen as his next victim. “I’ve wanted to play Mina Harker since high school,” Emily says, and it shows in her nuanced performance—as well as her blood-curdling screams.

Questions can be submit ted via email (in advance) to lisaphipps08@gmail.com or can be submitted during the forum in the chat box.

Questions will be read by the moderator.

This is an exciting oppor tunity to meet the candidates who may play a valuable role in ensuring the success of our county.

This is a chance to hear directly from the candidates about their vision, experience, and goals and how they will help Tillamook County.

Cannon Russell has been acting since 1998, and brings that depth to the role of Jona than Harker, Mina’s husband.

Jonathan had an experience in Transylvania with the mys terious count, but suffered amnesia. As Harker recovers his memory, Russell’s char acterization deepens, as does the mystery.

Newcomers include two members of Dr. Seward’s staff at the sanitarium, Carol Parks and Ellis Conklin.

Parks plays the superstitious assistant Birdie, convinced that the mysterious resident at the ruined abbey near the sanitarium is Jack the Rip per. Conklin, a musician and journalist, plays Williams, the orderly charged with keeping track of wayward patients. While initially placed in the role of comedy relief, they bring enough compassion to their roles that they also show change.

Christian Simmons, in his first role with Riverbend, truly took the character-arc idea to heart in his role as Renfield, the maniac whose penchant for eating flies and spiders landed him in Seward’s madhouse. A lunatic who has a creepy yet comic presence in his early scenes, Renfield’s humanity overcomes his madness as he learns the terrible plans that Dracula has for Mina.

The play is introduced by Dr. Abraham Van Hels ing, Seward’s professor from medical school in Amsterdam. Van Helsing has devoted his life to destroying vampires. And of course, we meet the greatest vampire of them all: Count Dracula. These two characters are both performed by your obedient servant—myself. They are a natural progression from my previous roles as Orson Welles in “The War of the Worlds” and George Bailey in 2019’s “It’s A Wonderful Life.” I’m delighted to be working with these wonder ful, talented people, and I hope you’ll join us for some Halloween thrills.

Cheesemaker Football net Fishermen, improve to 3-0 in league

Will Chappell Reporter

Tillamook improved to 3-0 in the Cowapa league on Fri day night, beating the Astoria Fighting Fishermen 40-7 and setting up a showdown next week with Scappoose that will determine the league’s championship.

For the second week in a row, turnovers in the early going saw the Mooks carry a relatively close lead into the locker room before pulling away in the second half.

“You encounter things dur ing a football season so you can make the adjustment and learn from it,” said Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson. “We took the adjustments that we needed from last week and we used that experience to our advantage.”

The Mooks quarterbacks led the way this week, com bining for three touchdowns on the ground.

Backup quarterback Seth Wehinger opened the scoring for the Mooks with a short rush on their first drive to put the team up seven early.

With their opponent mired in a winless season, it looked

as though Tillamook might pull away from the Fighting Fishermen early after a Parker McKibbin touchdown on the second drive gave the Mooks an early 14-0 lead.

But, in front of a raucous crowd, bolstered by the four pop warner teams that played exhibition games at the half, Astoria was determined to stick around.

Astoria receiver Connelly Fromwiller found an opening in the Cheesemaker defense on the next drive, pulling the Fishermen within a score.

On the ensuing drive, deep in Astoria territory the Chee semakers put the ball on the ground and Astoria jumped on it.

The Mooks defense held the Fishermen to a three and out, but on the next Tillamook drive an errant pass from Til lamook quarterback Tanner Hoskins was picked by the Astoria defense.

For a moment, it seemed as if momentum might be turning, but like against St. Helens last week, Hoskins made a quick bounce back.

“I smack myself in the helmet and say, ‘forget about it’ and keep going,” Hoskins

said after the game.

After the interception, Hoskins tossed a beautiful pass to wide receiver Zeyon Hurliman to push the Mooks lead to 20-7.

“I just know he’s down there somewhere,” Hoskins said of Hurliman, who is on a blistering pace with 10 touch downs on the season, before comparing him to Tyreek Hill. “I’m very confident in whoever I pass to that they’ll catch it.”

With time running low in the second quarter, Astoria made what would be its last concerted offensive effort of the evening, driving to the Mooks’ 24 before turning the ball over on downs.

After the half, it was all Tillamook. Moncrief got the scoring going on the Cheese maker’s first possession of the first quarter.

Hoskins found the end zone with his legs on the next Tillamook drive, putting the game out of reach.

With the Mooks lead a comfortable 33-7, Johnson brought in backup quarter back Seth Wehinger for the rest of the game. He found the end zone again on the ground

in the fourth quarter to make the game’s final score 40-7.

Even while the offense has faced first half frustrations the last few weeks, the Mooks defense has remained a for midable obstacle for opposing teams.

They have held opponents to just 16 points combined during the first three quarters of games in league play. Last night, they came up with a big interception in the third quarter that deflated the Fight ing Fishermen and turned the momentum decisively in the Mooks favor.

“Our strength is that we can do a bunch of different things,” Johnson said of the defense. He pointed to the consistency of his coaching personnel as a large reason for the Mooks success this year.

He specifically pointed to defensive coordinator Daniel Seaholm. “Coach Seaholm is doing a fantastic job, our whole coaching staff is,” Johnson said.

With the win over As toria, Tillamook set up a league-deciding clash against Scappoose next week in the Cheesemakers home opener after renovations to their

facility.

Scappoose downed St. Helens 41-6 to improve to 3-0 in league play and 6-1 on the season.

“It’s gonna be an excit ing night, that’s for sure,” Johnson said. “Everybody in our league knew that… (the league championship) was

going to go through Scap poose this year.”

If the Mooks can knock off the Indians, they’ll be in pole position for their first least league title since 1999.

“We’re gonna get locked and loaded and ready to go,” Johnson said.

The Cheesemakers (10-0 league, 12-4 overall) were seeking to win their 12th straight league game Monday at home versus the Scappoose High Indians (5-5 league, 10-7 overall) on Senior Night at Tillamook High School (result unavailable because of Headlight Herald press deadline).

The Cheesemakers, guided by seventh-year Coach LaVonne Rawe, had a very impressive performance in a 25-14, 25-18, 21-25, 25-20 win over the Lions.

“We’re just trying to take things one game at a time and we have to get through to the conclusion of our league schedule before anything else,” said Rawe.

Tillamook overcame a 9-6 St. Helens lead with a 6-2 rally, capped by a senior out side hitter Keira Thompson, whose kill put the Mooks up 12-11. Tillamook maintained the momentum and extended it’s advantage to 20-13. Skaar was instrumental in helping lead the Mooks to the win as she served a set winning ace at the conclusion of the game, lifting the Mooks in front 1-0 in sets.

“I’m so happy to have Emily Skaar, because she really puts a smile on our

team,” said Rawe. “We re ally need the strong serving and positive attitude that she provides as one of our team captains.”

In Set 2, Tillamook again overcame a Lions lead at 3-0 with a 9-3 run to take a 9-6 advantage. Skaar was on fire at the service line too as she served consecutive aces in the rally. After Tillamook extended its lead to 13-8, St. Helens fought back with a 7-3 run, making it a one-point game at 16-15.

“It was a total team effort and it was nice that I was able to find my serve again after having some trouble with it earlier in the season, so that’s exciting for me,” said Skaar.

Skaar again proved to be a dominating force at the ser vice stripe and she executed three consecutive aces to help the Mooks go on top 23-17, forcing a Lions timeout. A Lions serving error, followed by their hitting error helped Tillamook notch the 25-18 second set win for a 2-0 lead.

“It feels amazing to be on top of our league and it’s very exciting too, because this is my final season, so I’m really glad to be getting lots of play ing time,” said Skaar.

The momentum shifted in favor of the Lions in the third set as they led all the way to get a 25-21 win, with junior middle blocker Maisy McDole getting a set winning block/kill to the floor, making it a 2-1 Tillamook set lead.

“We just had to regroup after losing the third set and that’s what happens some

times,” said Skaar. “We made a comeback together as a team. We’re always trying to push ourselves to be a better team and that’s one of our main goals. We’re always trying to challenge ourselves by trying new things and just changing things up a little too.”

Set 3 was a seesaw battle early with three four deadlock scores and two lead changes early in the contest. After the final deadlock at 10-10, Tillamook took control with a 7-1 run, capped by Thompson ace for a 17-11 lead.

The teams then traded points, with Tillamook remaining in front 24-18 and junior middle blocker Lexie Graves pounded a kill to give the Mooks the match point. A Lions hitting error at the end, lifted the Mooks in front for the 25-20 win and a 3-1 match victory.

In the Oct. 13 contest ver sus Seaside, the Mooks won 25-16, 25-12, 27-25. Junior Malli Lewis led the Mooks in serving with seven aces and Tillamook had an impressive total serving performance at the line of 90 percent.

“We been working on some breathing techniques for serving and it has payed off, so I’m very happy with how well we’ve been serving,” said Rawe.

The Mooks had a total of 32 kills against Seaside, led by junior middle blocker Kate Klobas with eight, followed by Skaar (seven), Annika Norberg (six), Lexie Graves (five) and Dannika Goss

(five). The Mooks had a total of 63 digs and five blocks.

Junior defensive specialist Maritza Nieves led Tillamook with 22 digs.

“We don’t really have a standout player, because we are a team through and through,” said Rawe. “Some times one person might be a little bit above the others, but not by a lot. It was nice seeing both us and Seaside wearing pink jerseys to help support Breast Cancer Aware ness month in October and that was pretty cool. The big home crowd (Oct. 13) that we had too was just incredible. Everyone came out and liter ally filled the bleachers with parents and student athletes and fans from the visiting Seaside team too, so it was a good match.”

Upcoming Walk-In COVID-19 flu and pneumonia vaccines

Tillamook County Public Health

Making a plan to get vaccinated as soon as possible is the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19, flu, and pneu monia, which could be even more important this year as we approach winter.

Data from the CDC shows that COVID-19 safety pre cautions have helped to keep individuals safe from the flu for the last two years, but that also means our natural immu nity to the influenza virus has waned. To make predictions about our upcoming flu sea son, scientists use evidence about flu rates and severity from flu cases in Australia as they experience their winter when we are in summer. This year, Australia has experi enced a rise in flu cases dur ing their winter season and experts anticipate the United States will follow suit.

In addition, research has shown that immunity from COVID-19 vaccines (and COVID-19 infections) de cline over time, and therefore it is important to get a booster dose to remain protected from COVID-19. The up dated bivalent COVID-19

Pumpkin Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients: - 12 jumbo pasta shells (about 6 ounces) - 1 ¼ cups nonfat ricotta cheese - ¾ cup pumpkin - ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 Tablespoons basil - ¼ teaspoon sage - ½ teaspoon salt - ½ teaspoon pepper - ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided - 1 cup pasta sauce

Directions: 1. Wash hands with soap and water.

booster protects against the original strain of the virus that causes COVID-19 along with the subvariant Omicron, including BA.4 and BA.5.

Health experts predict an increase in COVID-19 cases through November as we move into the winter months.

To help keep yourself and your community safe, Tillamook County Public Health strongly recommends everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot and anyone 5 years and older get a bivalent booster as soon as possible.

It’s safe (and convenient!) to receive the flu vaccine at the same time you receive your COVID-19 vaccination or booster.

Immunizations such as flu and pneumonia are covered benefits for many insurance plans, including Medicare and Oregon Health Plan (OHP). COVID-19 vac cines are available at no cost. Please bring your insurance card and COVID-19 vaccine card, if available, when you plan to receive your immuni zations.

You can schedule an appointment at any health clinic or pharmacy in Til lamook County for a flu or COVID-19 bivalent booster.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3. Cook pasta shells ac cording to package direc tions. Drain and place each on a baking sheet to cool.

4. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, pump kin, spices and all but 1 Tablespoon of the cheese. Reserve the 1 Tablespoon cheese for topping.

5. Spread pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish that holds all the shells in a single layer. Fill each shell with about 3 Tablespoons of pumpkin mixture and place shells close together on top of the sauce.

6. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 15 minutes more.

7. Refrigerate leftovers

You can also drop-by one of the upcoming walk-in COVID-19 and flu clinics this month and next month hosted by Tillamook County Community Health Centers.

New COVID-19 boosters now approved for people 5 and older

Children ages 5-11 in Or egon are now eligible for the new updated bivalent boost er, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) announced today in a media availability. OHA also gave a summary of the latest COVID-19 data and trends and the status of the ongo ing response to monkeypox (hMPXV) in Oregon.

“Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Pre vention (CDC) expanded

Emergency Use Authoriza tion (EUA) of COVID-19 vaccine boosters for children 5-11,” said Dean Sidelinger, M.D. M.S.Ed., health officer and state epidemiologist at OHA. “The Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup met last night and affirmed the new eligi bility recommendations.”

The workgroup noted that “the benefits of bivalent booster doses that more closely match currently cir culating SARS-CoV-2 vari ants will sustain protection against COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths in young children and substan tially outweigh any potential risks.”

The expanded EUA of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Modern bivalent boosters for younger ages, and the state and federal recommenda tions for their use, mean an estimated 343,000 more people in Oregon, between ages 5-11, are now eligible to receive a booster dose at least two months after finish ing a primary series or prior monovalent booster dose.

The updated COVID-19 boosters add the genetic recipe for the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components to the original vaccines, offering updated protection that has waned in the general population and targeting the highly transmis sible omicron variants that have become the predomi nant strains in Oregon and the United States.

More than 259,000 bivalent boosters have been administered statewide by OHA clinics, Tribal and public health partners, pharmacies and health care providers, Sidelinger said.

Data from the state’s vaccine registry show that 6.1% of all people in Oregon have received the new bivalent booster compared to 3.5% nationwide.
