County Clerk says voter turnout trending up Do not mail ballots after Oct. 27; drop off at drop box sites
T
Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer
he Tillamook County Clerk’s Office provided an election update during a board of commissioners meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 21. Ballots were mailed out in the county on Oct. 14. County Clerk Tassi O’Neil said people should have received their ballots by now. One of the main reasons why someone would not have received it is if they have moved and have not updated their voter registration. O’Neil said people should make sure to sign their ballot envelopes. “People are concerned about how they are signing their envelopes,” O’Neal said. “When you get your ballot, sign it how you would normally sign it.” Whatever your normal signature looks like is likely what is on file for your voter registration, O’Neal added. If your signature does not match, you will be notified and have 14 days to take care of that. Every signature is checked. “If you don’t sign your envelope, we’re going to send you a notice as well,” O’Neil said. “You have 14 days to take care of that.” The envelopes for Tillamook
County are the golden Tillamook cheese color, O’Neil added. In Oregon, you are not required to use your secrecy envelope. If you turn in your ballot in only the secrecy envelope, it will not be counted. People should not mail their ballots after Tuesday, Oct. 27. Drop boxes are available throughout the county. “We have the city drive-up drop box,” O’Neil said. “It’s close to the northwest corner of Third and Laurel.” O’Neil said when you pull the drop box door open, there is a little bit of water, so make sure your envelope does not stick to it. The Tillamook County Library’s drop box is open for 24 hours this election. “Please vote early, which everybody is, but let’s continue that,” O’Neil said. Voter turnout in the county was at 44.25 percent as of 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23. Of the 20,770 people registered to vote, 9,191 people have voted. “Turnout has been fabulous; it’s a higher turnout for Tillamook County and for the State of Oregon this election,” O’Neil said. “Voter turnout has been increasing. Even in 2018, it was not a presidential election cycle, voter turnout hit 70.08 percent and in
2016 it hit 80.60 percent.” O’Neil said due to it being a presidential election, she expects the county will beat the voter turnout reached in the 2008 election, which was 86.40 percent. Voted ballots are due in the Tillamook County Clerk’s Office or in an official drop box by 8 p.m. Election Day, Nov. 3. Postmarks do not count.

illamook County Community Health Centers (TCCHC) announced during a Tillamook County Leadership meeting Friday, Oct. 23, that there were two new confirmed COVID-19 cases this week. As of Oct. 23, the county has had a total of 59 confirmed positive cases, as well as 11 presumptive. “The cumulative total cases for us now are 70,” Administrator Marlene Putman said. “That is both positive and presumptive.” Putman said to date, the county has had nine hospitalizations. There are currently zero hospitalizations related to COVID-19 in the county. According to Oregon Health Authority, there have been 3,523 negative tests completed in Tillamook County. There are 25 cases currently under monitoring, TCCHC said. Of those, a contact tracer is following 22. These people have had direct contact with a positive case and are under quarantine. If they develop symptoms, they get transferred back to a case investigator. TCCHC reported one case from last week was transferred out of their accumulative total, as the individual was found not to be a resident of Tillamook County. There have been some questions regarding the different in numbers between what the county reports on Fridays and what Oregon Health Authority reports daily. “The difference between the numbers in the county and state is most typically based on when the state updates their reports from the previous day,” Putman said. “The public health reports that we run from the health center is based on our latest information on Thursday at 4 p.m. Sometimes we may have an additional positive by 8 a.m. on Friday that we try to include in the report on Fridays that may not be reflected yet in the state report.” Putman said typically by the afternoon on Friday, the Oregon Health Authority’s report should reflect Tillamook County’s numbers. “If people are concerned about outbreaks, keep following those businesses and employees and the community as a whole around face coverings, washing hands and maintaining social distance,” Putman said. The health center continues to provide their flu clinic, Putman added. They maintain a separate office for flu vaccines, located at 2111 8th St in Tillamook. The clinic is open Monday-Tuesday, Thursday-Friday at 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, the clinic is open at 9 a.m. to noon and 1-4:30 p.m. Adventist Health Tillamook President Eric Swanson said the hospital’s personal protective equipment supply is adequate. If you go to the plaza, there is a new screening process with the thermal imaging camera that will take your temperature. Send comments to headlightreporter@countrymedia.net

and one of the researchers conducting monitoring. “Without monitoring, it’s not possible to determine whether the project was effective, so we owe it to the project’s many funders and stakeholders to monitor the results of the project carefully.” Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) has modeled flood events and a team of researchers from the Institute for Applied Ecology, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Oregon State University, University of Oregon, and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership have monitored fish populations, hydrology, soils, vegetation, and carbon sequestration at the project site and in nearby reference wetlands.
Impacts on Flooding Over the weekend of October 21, 2017 Tillamook experienced an early season storm resulting in the earliest significant flood event on record for the Wilson River. This event subjected the SFC project to its first test. One objective of the SFC project was to significantly reduce flood impacts to the Highway 101 business corridor. Pre-project modeling completed by NHC predicted the project would reduce flood levels up to 1.5 ft. during a 100-year event, benefiting over 3,000 acres and 540 structures. The October 2017 Wilson River flood was a 5-year event, wherein SFC pre-project modeling predicted flood level
reduction across 5,000 acres. A report released by NHC in December 2018 demonstrated the success of the SFC project by modeling the difference in water surface elevations of the 2017 flood between pre- and postproject conditions. “The post-project benefit matched what was anticipated to be derived from the completion of the project,” stated Aaron Palter, Project Coordinator for the Port of Tillamook Bay and SFC co-project manager. Results from the modeling report show the SFC project resulted in widespread reduction of flood levels, including decreases of up to 0.7 feet along the HWY 101 corridor. Flood duration
was reduced by 3-4 hours and about 4,800 acres showed some reduction in peak flood level. Asked if the SFC project accomplished what it was designed to do, Tillamook County Director of Emergency Management Lt. Gordon McCraw noted, “The initial results appear favorable. The test will be if it continues to display favorable results in the future.” The SFC project is expected to provide benefits over a range of flood levels and intensities. “Time will tell,” said Jon Cummings, business owner and Tillamook Bay Flood Improvement District President. “This first flood, everyone thought it [floodwaters] got out faster; but we need a bigger flood event to test that.” Benefitting Fish Tidal wetlands provide critical habitat for salmon and other fish species. “Removal of the dikes and tide gates has brought back the natural tidal flooding cycle and brackish water,” said Brophy. “With the return of the tides, we see young salmon using the site in much greater numbers than before project implementation.” Juvenile Chinook salmon were nearly absent from tidal channels prior to project construction, but after restoration, researchers found two times as many juvenile Chinook compared to the numbers found at nearby reference sites. Juvenile chum salmon were absent from the site ◼ See SFC

Tillamook Chapter of AAUW hosts Candidates Forum Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer The Tillamook Chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) hosted a Candidates Forum on Oct. 14, via Zoom. Candidates for State Representative District 10, State Representative District 32, State Senate District 5, and Tillamook County Sheriff answered questions from the community. The forum was in partnership with KMUN, Tillamook Headlight Herald, Tillamook Bay Community College and the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce. Question: If you could share your top priority for rural Oregon, and if elected, how would this priority make a difference of Tillamook voters?
“When elected, my top priority is to help businesses and people recover from COVID and the wildfires,” Melissa Cribbins, candidate for State Senate District 5, said. “2020 has been a heck of a year.” Dick Anderson, also a candidate for State Senate District 5, said his top priority is to get the economy back on track. This is a state that has benefits from income taxes and people need to be employed in order to receive that. Debbie Boothe-Schmidt, candidate for State Representative District 32, said she knows District 32 is missing a lot of internet connections and all students need to receive quality education. Housing is another priority for her. “Too many families don’t have the housing they need,” Boothe-Schmidt said.
Suzanne Weber, candidate for State Representative District 32, said virtual learning has shown that there is a deficit in WiFi accessibility. Expanding broadband is important. “I think that in addition to supporting education, that is what we need to do,” Weber said. Rep. David Gomberg, current State Representative District 10, and seeking reelection, said his priority is to make sure the benefits of economical recovery go to everyone in Oregon. He has fought to make sure all dollars coming into Oregon are going everywhere in Oregon, including rural areas. “COVID-19 has dealt us an interesting 2020,” said Mac Sherman, also running for State Representative District 10. “We need to get our businesses [and] we need to get our schools
back online and that needs to be a priority,” Sherman said. COVID-19 is probably going to extend well into 2021 and control needs to be extended back to local areas, Sherman added. Question: Are you in support of mandatory vaccinations for children to attend school? Weber said one size does not fit all and parents should have the opportunity to opt in or opt out. “There have been questions on how safe these vaccinations are to all of our children,” BootheSchmidt said. “I feel we need to make sure we’re educating all of the parents, making sure they know everything that could go wrong, everything is good with these vaccinations but I think parents should have that choice.” Anderson said he is a
firm believer of leaving it up to the parents to decide. “I realize there are some people who have health issues that prevent them from getting vaccines,” Cribbins said. “In those cases, there are medical exemptions but otherwise, we should be requiring children to get vaccinated.” Sherman said he believes vaccines are important but he supports parents’ rights to make choices. “I’m in support of making sure kids that come to school are vaccinated unless they’ve demonstrated a medical reason why they shouldn’t be,” Gomberg said. The forum also had candidates for Tillamook County Sheriff: Gordon McCraw and Josh Brown. Question: What will you do in your role as sheriff regarding racism?
McCraw said as sheriff, he would not tolerate racism. Brown said he believes racism sometimes gets hidden or pushed away. He would handle it before it happens, meaning proper training. Question: If assault rifles are banned, will you support it? McCraw said it is the sheriff’s responsibility to make sure the Constitution is adhered to. Brown said he would question how such a bill would be passed. Both candidates said they would protect constitutional rights.

Visit Tillamook Coast provides annual report to county Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, also known as Visit Tillamook Coast, Executive Director Nan Devlin presented an annual report for 2019-2020 during a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, Oct. 14. The association provides a six-month and annual report. “Instead of focusing on growth, which was the right thing to do in 2014, we are now looking at different types of benchmarks,” Devlin said. “I’ll tell you that we are getting calls from around the state and around the U.S., asking about how we’re measuring now.”

Asked if the project did what it set out to do, Brophy replied “Yes. The project re-established the natural processes that support tidal wetland functions and services at SFC. These functions and services are really important to fish, wildlife and people!” A collaborative success The history of the SFC project goes back to the mid-1990s, after a series of floods rocked Tillamook County. Multiple attempts to come up with a viable solution to mitigate flooding failed to receive the support needed. After intense flooding in 2006 and 2007, Governor Ted Kulongoski established the effort as an “Oregon Solutions” project at the request of Senator Betsy Johnson. The move provided the

opportunity for community groups, business organizations, and individuals as well as federal, state, and local government agencies to come together on a solution. “With the Oregon Solutions program, everyone comes to the table. There is a common goal and you’re looking everyone eye to eye. Everyone is forced to work together,” said Jon Cummings. The SFC project was a testament to the process of inclusion and compromise. “Consulting with all stakeholders, including the community early on in the process was crucial to building trustworthy relationships that supported successful implementation of the project” said Rachel Hagerty, Cheif of Staff for the Tillamook County
Board of Commissioners and SFC co-project manager. As results from effectiveness monitoring at the SFC site continue to come in, Tillamook can be truly proud. The SFC project is a testament to the will, perseverance, and creativity of the community. The SFC Project Outreach Team is working to communicate project results project and keep the public informed. The community can look forward to presentations on the effectiveness monitoring later this year and additional results into the future as monitoring continues.

Tales from the Library Bill Landau Extension Librarian Tillamook County Library
Letters to the editor yard signs and maybe the buttons (I have a drawerful of those), at least a small portion of this exorbitant spending could trickle down to those in need. I know that many small printing shops, local newspapers and radio stations may be kept alive by this biennial bounty of cash. But, when I think of all that is spent on political campaigns in Oregon every election cycle, compared to the pressing needs in our communities, there is something wrong here. Especially this year, with massive unemployment and small business closures due to the pandemic and devastating losses due to wildfires. My “political sign deposit” suggestion is tongue-incheek, but I hope it shines a light on just one aspect of the critical need for campaign finance reform.
A new bottle bill Hey! I have an idea! Why don’t we pass a political sign deposit bill? You know, like the landmark 1971 Oregon Bottle Bill spearheaded by South Tillamook County’s Paul Hanneman. Why? So far, $1,150,000.00 has been contributed to the Oregon House District 32 Republican and Democrat candidates. That’s over a MILLION DOLLARS, in one small, rural county in Oregon, a small, mostly rural state. By election day, November 3, all that money will have been spent purchasing ads, flyers, buttons and yard signs. We can’t do anything to recoup the money that went to media and print shops, but, if we put a deposit on the
I received a survey this week asking me to pick my top issue among a dozen - yet campaign finance reform was not even listed. I clicked “Other” and stated that “we can’t fix any of the other pressing problems we face until we fix the way we allow big money to influence our elections” I believe it is the foremost problem that must be solved if we are truly going to save our democracy. On your ballot, Ballot Measure 107 is a ray of light. It proposes to amend the Oregon Constitution to allow us to begin the process of limiting campaign spending and identifying donors. It is only the beginning of a process I hope leads us regionally and then nationally to curtailing paid political advertising, period. Yes, period! This could revise the

I support Measure 110 Unfortunately, substance use and abuse have always come up in my work as an educator, whether in discussing students’ home lives or addressing student use occurring on or near school grounds. I have witnessed too many students and their families struggle because we do not have the proper support in place to help those who are suffering from addiction. On the rural coast in particular, we lack many of the resources we need to help those who are addicted, leaving young people to struggle on their own. I am made even more concerned by the rise in substance abuse that we see as a result of the pandemic. My heart

I have a few items of interest to add to your calendar. The first one is very sad for us because we LOVE Halloween at the library. Unfortunately, while some of the town will be observing trick or treat activities on October 30, the library in Tillamook will be closing at 3:00 for staff development. Branch libraries will be open until 5:00. We would like to invite you to the retirement party for our director of 29 years, Sara Charlton. It will be on Friday, November 6 from 2:00 – 4:00 at the Main Library. For those who cannot attend, this event will be live-streamed. Go to tctvonline.com and click on Live Broadcast. Speaking of Sara’s retirement, many of us spent last week interviewing the three final candidates for the library director position. There were separate online interview sessions for the staff, for the library managers, for the public and for the library board and commissioners. We quizzed them about management styles, technology issues, fiscal responsibilities, and so much more. After many hours of interviews, I personally came

away with an interesting observation. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the country and many people would do just about anything to reside here! When you are interviewing people who live in places with extremes in weather or those who live in places that are…shall we say… geographically uninteresting, it drives home the idea that we pretty fortunate to live here. While hiking our trails, I often run into tourists from around the globe who have planned and saved for years to visit our beautiful coast. And yet, we get used to all this beauty. I have met longtime Tillamook county residents who have not been to the beach in decades. There are those who have not stepped foot in our wonderful Cape Lookout State Park. And when I blabber on to some locals about how delightful Kilchis Point Reserve is, I sometimes get a blank stare as they explain they
“always meant to go there some day.” But don’t feel bad. When I lived in Flagstaff, Arizona, 70 miles from the Grand Canyon, I met lifetime residents who never visited the canyon even though it was in their back yard. It reminds me of what Rachel Carson, conservationist and author of Silent Spring and many other excellent books, once observed about the breathtaking spectacle of stars and planets in the sky. She said that if the stars were a sight that could only be seen once in a century, the hills would be thronged with spectators lined up to see the glorious sight. But because it can be observed any cloudless night of the year, some people will never take the time to see the beauty overhead. So congratulations to us for living in one of the most beloved and sought-after locations on the planet, the Tillamook coast. With the great fall weather, this would be the perfect time to bring a lawn chair and a good book to the beach. Don’t have a good book?

Gardening Matters
U
sually my column for the week before Halloween is about spiders and their helpfulness in the garden. But Joe Warren did such a nice job talking about spiders in the October 7th issue that I thought I would find a new scary topic this year: bats! To my mind, bats are even scarier than spiders and I think this stems from the old wives’ tale I heard as a child that bats will land in your hair and make nests. Not sure what would be more

Going batty
frightening than that. Eek. But I have learned a lot about bats in the last couple of months when a friend asked my husband Gary to build her a couple of bat boxes. Which, of course, he did. First some myths I must dispel. The first two being that bats are blind and are flying mice. They are not blind. In fact, they can see as well as humans and maybe a little better as they can see in low-light conditions. They are equipped with echolocation
GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT
which is a type of sonar by which they do their best to navigate
away from people and toward flying insects, their primary meal. If a bat swoops toward your head, it is not because they want to build a nest in your hair. They are more likely hunting the fly or mosquito hovering near you. Their built-in sonar is much, much more efficient than anything humans have devised and it allows them to fly rapidly in total darkness. Bats are also not related to rodents of any kind. They are quite shy and intelligent. Most
bats only give birth to one live offspring – called “pups” - each year and they can live from 25 to 40 years. Oregon bats eat only insects. The vast majority of bats are not vampire bats (there are only 3 species of vampire bats and they live in South America) and are not interested in drinking blood. The other 1097 species eat fruit, nectar, pollen and insects. In

Letters to the editor drug abuse both in schools and our communities at large. We are now beginning to see the improved results of using traumainformed discipline in our schools, in which we try to address the root causes of behavior, rather than shaming and punishing our students. It’s time that we collectively shift toward this type of effective and humane approach to drug addiction. This is a remarkably difficult time to learn how to find a place in this world, and I fear the consequences of our young people being cycled through the criminal justice system, which we know functions as a spinning door of recidivism, for minor drug offenses. They deserve so much better. I am excited about the opportunities that Measure 110 could open up for our youth and all Oregonians. I support this measure, and ask my fellow Oregonians to do so as well. Hannah Reynolds Social Studies Teacher, Neah-Kah-Nie High School Vassar College ‘16
Measure 110 helps those
struggling with addiction North County Racial And Social Justice is a group of community members in North Tillamook County concerned with issues of racial and social justice. We care deeply about protecting the fabric of our community. We see friends and neighbors every day who struggle with addiction and lack of access to get the help that they so badly need. There is nothing more heartbreaking than knowing someone who desperately wants help, but cannot get it. As we know all too well here in Tillamook County, Oregon is facing an addiction crisis. Nearly one in ten Oregonians over the age of twelve suffers from substance use disorder, and 281,758 Oregonians who have needed treatment within the last year but were unable to get it. Our community is not immune from this. Meanwhile, addiction is treated as a crime, rather than a healthcare issue. Oregon arrests nearly 9,000 people per year for personal drug possession, disproportionately target-
ing Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ community members. This approach ruins lives, is costly to taxpayers, and it’s not working. It’s time to shift to a more humane, health-based approach to drugs. That’s why we support Measure 110. Instead of criminalizing people struggling with addiction, Measure 110 will expand access to treatment and recovery services that will better serve our communities. Measure 110 will reduce criminal penalties for drug possession and use existing marijuana taxes to increase funding for lifesaving treatment and recovery services. People of color face unfair racial disparities at every stage of the criminal justice system. Black and Indigenous people are 3 times more likely to be arrested compared to whites, despite using drugs at similar rates. Drug arrests can set up lifelong barriers to access housing, employment, student loans, and professional licenses, making it nearly impossible for people to get their lives back on track. For immigrants and refugees, the criminalization of addiction can lead to families being torn apart.
Measure 110 will nearly eliminate racial disparities for drug arrests and convictions, according to a report released by the Oregon Secretary of State and conducted by the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission! It’s time to truly begin to help people who have fallen through the cracks here in Tillamook County and throughout the state. It’s time to stop the unfair criminalization of people who suffer from addiction, and shift to a more humane, health-based approach. Please join us in voting YES on Measure 110.

CDC’s mortality stats are exacerbated The following are excerpts from the website – snopes.com, as seen at this browser address, https:// www.snopes.com/factcheck/cdc-mortality-statistics/ for the full article. Spreading misinformation on social media is a major contributor to the divisiveness of our country. See the excerts below: “In attempt to ring the
alarm on supposed deceptive practices by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hardline conservatives including U.S. President Donald Trump promoted the idea in August 2020 that the public health agency suddenly changed its methods for reporting COVID-19 mortality statistics.” “And as a result, viral social media posts alleged, America only tallied about 9,000 COVID-19 fatalities, or roughly 6% of the more than 150,000 deaths widely reported by politicians, scientists, and news reporters.” “Additionally, The Gateway Pundit page claimed, “the overwhelming majority” of reported COVID-19 deaths were among “very old Americans” — without going into specifics on what age population that meant — and suggested nefarious intentions on the part of the CDC to try to change its guidance without anyone noticing” “First, to unpack the claim, let’s be clear about how COVID-19 — which is the disease caused by the coronavirus dubbed SARSCoV-2 — attacks the body and can become deadly. According to an article in the
journal Science, a highly credible scientific publication:” “Next, we investigated how the CDC compiles COVID-19 death toll data. Since the viral posts did not specify what “numbers” by the CDC to which they were alleging nefariousness, we considered the CDC’s Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) web page, which is a compilation of death certificates updated weekly by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).” “In sum, considering the way in which the coronavirus impacts the human body, the way the CDC compiles data from death certificates — listing comorbidities that were either developed or exacerbated by COVID-19 — as well as the fact that one-third of COVID-19 fatalities were people aged 85 or older, we rate this claim “False.”” The whole article can be read at https://www.snopes. com/fact-check/cdc-mortality-statistics/ Richard Potempa Pacific City

n Gardening Continued from Page 5 fact, bats are very important pollinators. A very few will eat frogs or fish. Oh, and vampire bats are more interested in the blood of just about any other animal than humans. While all bats are not carriers of rabies, they can – like most mammals – contract the disease. They are wild animals and might bite in fear if you try to touch them. This is especially true if you find a grounded bat as they are probably ill – not necessarily from rabies – and should
not be handled. A couple of fun facts I learned is that bats are the only flying mammal and they can fly up to 100 miles each night at a speed of 25 to 30 mph. Their “pups” are able to fly two to five weeks after they are born, depending on the species. There are 15 different species of bats in Oregon and eight of those 15 are Oregon Conservation Strategy species. That means they are declining in numbers or are at-risk due to small populations. The California myotis, fringed myotis, long-legged myotis, silver-haired bats, Townsend’s big-eared bats are a few of the Conservation bats that can be found along the coast, although because they are on the conservation list, they are not easily found. Some of Oregon’s bats occur only east of the
Wednesday, October 28, 2020 Cascades or in southern and central parts of the state, so I will focus on bats that you might find near your home. The California Myotis is light brown/blond and has dark ears and feeds on flies and moths. In the summer, the females will join a “maternity colony” of other females and give birth to one live offspring. They spend the winter in caves or buildings…or bat houses. The Long-eared Myotis is a pale blond or light reddish color. Found mostly in coniferous forests throughout the state, it is known to enter buildings through open windows or doors and forage for moths therein. It will roost during the day in buildings or caves and other man-made structures (barns, garages) or even in hollow trees. One of the largest bats in Oregon is the Big Brown Bat, a dark brown bat
with a wingspan of 13 to 14 inches. This bat has a slower flight speed and so is easier to identify than faster bats that speed by. They are more active in winter than other bats and prefer human-made structures for roosting during the day. They can be found all over the state but, west of the Cascades, the big brown bats prefer mixed deciduous and coniferous forests. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has a great web page with lots more fun facts, bat house instructions, and White Nose Syndrome, a fungal infection which is causing vast die-offs of bat species. Find the ODFW bat info at: www.dfw.state.or.us/ wildlife/living_with/bats. asp . Another good website is www. batworld.org with lots of information about saving bat populations.

here are 24 new personalized bricks on the walkway to the Barbara Bennett Community Center. Chris Spence spearheaded the fundraising drive to add more bricks to the apron in front of the building. These new bricks brought in $1,200 for the care and maintenance of the community center. Chris Harvey, a local builder, laid the new bricks. They look terrific! Thank you to everyone who bought a brick and to Chris and Chris for all the work involved in executing this project. Two Cape Meares residents alerted me to an unusual find on their separate beach walks. Both came across a dead fish, about two and one-half feet in length, with a mottled tail and blood coming from the left gill and left eye socket. Intrepid Fencepost reporter that I am, I went down to have a look—tak-
ing my staff biologist (and husband!) with me. Pete recognized the fish as a salmon shark, verifying that in a reference book when we got back home. We can’t say for sure what killed the creature; only a necropsy would reveal that. Yet another mystery from the sea! I noticed a new sign up at the Bayocean Road beach access. It reads: “Welcome to the beach at Cape Meares. CAUTION! Extremely dangerous rip tides and undertow. Stay away from logs (they

appy Halloween dear readers! Here are some ideas for celebrating safely as COVID season continues: Host an online costume contest with friends and family near and far. Post a costume photo to #SpookySafeOregon to enter Governor Kate Brown’s own contest. Watch a scary movie on T.V. or online. Carve pumpkins with
float, roll & crush people). Sneaker waves hit cars parked here (however, this is the fastest route to Oceanside).” Thank you, Deborah Neal, for addressing this extremely serious issue with your usual good humor. Cape Meares resident Shannon DeJean seconds this warning; she experienced a frightening episode of the ocean knocking her off her feet in the parking lot and breaking her leg last year. We all need to do everything we can to alert beachgoers to the dangers of our beautiful but treacherous seashore. I’ll end today’s column with a combination fish tale/emergency preparedness note. We were out salmon fishing on a foggy morning. We headed out to a place called “the sheep corral” in Tillamook Bay that we don’t go to often (I think it was only my second time there), looking for “the
Wilson ditch.” Well, we found it—and Pete hooked a zippy salmon there, on a bright spinner good neighbor Bill Winter had made for him. That fish ran one way and then the other, putting up a grand fight until it was in the net and in the boat. Then we sat down, looked around and realized the fog had closed in tightly around us and the current had pushed us away from our landmarks; we had no idea where we were! We ended up circling around in the fog for nearly two hours before recognizing a piling and working our way back. In any case, here are our emergency prep lessons from that adventure: 1) always have food and water with you; 2) carry a cell phone and a stand-alone charger; and 3) download a GPS app and learn how to use it. We had some of this covered, but not all. Stay safe, folks! members of your household. Decorate your house, apartment or living space. Have a neighborhood driveby jack-o’-lantern contest. Tour neighborhood yard and home displays with household members. Make your own Halloween candy or caramel apples. Have a Halloween scavenger hunt

continue to be our biggest challenge until we get a working vaccine. COVID-19 has taken a tremendous toll on our tourism and local small businesses, which are the lifeblood of this community. I believe it is important for local government to support our local businesses through these tumultuous times by doing what we can to ensure their survival. Working with the community and business owners to better understand their needs and vision to solve the issues we face will better help us overcome this crisis. As well as promoting best/safe practices of CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of not only our residents but also our visitors.
and barriers within existing ordinances that could be revised to help create a more vibrant downtown, address housing and transportation needs, (including those of pedestrians and bicyclists), and permit uses that would promote these and other goals. The Angelo Planning Group, partially funded by a grant from the State, is assisting the City in this effort. Darci Rudzinski and Emma Porricolo, from the company, held ZOOM interviews with community members last week to receive input from the citizens. Kin and I enjoyed our chance to participate. I will keep you posted on how this exciting program is progressing and how you can provide your input to help make our town even better. The Booster Club is meeting at noon on Friday, October 30th. The meeting is being held at City Hall, and lunch is provided. They will be discussing how to assemble personal emergency bags, and providing a list of suggested items. Their popular rummage sale is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 6th from 9 AM to 3 PM. Setup is Friday, Nov. 5th from 9 AM to 3 PM; also donations can be dropped off during that time.

better. So, candidates, get your info into the newspaper so folks will be able to decide wisely. It’s best to be fully informed, right? Okay folks, call, message, text or email me to get your news out. It makes my column much more interesting and fun to read. I hope you bombard me with fun things for my column. “A full moon rarely occurs on October 31st. But naturally, one is happening on Halloween night, 2020.” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!” (The Halloween full moon will be a so-called ‘blue moon’ because it’s the second full moon of the month.)
Age: I am 53 years old. 30 years ago, I was given a second chance at who I wanted to become in my early 20’s. I had followed others down a dark path of living, and was intervened upon by Tillamook County’s finest, which lead to me being offered a new way to live. With the help of TFCC, Tillamook’s Justice System, and a group of old-timers in our community, I was shown a new way to live, and I have never turned back. I share this because if I can change, so can others; because the experience has given me a gratitude that only those that have survived such things can understand. Occupation: My husband and I own a successful construction business, SAI Design & Build, in Rockaway Beach. We have worked together over 20 years. I seldom boast about it publicly, because I don’t want to misuse my service work. I love what I do. We make peoples dreams come true; they trust us to create a vision that some of them have saved their entire adult lives for. I have come to understand about myself that it’s important for me to work in a trade that I can create in, and one
restrictions and guidelines). They have some “Very Special” surprises in store for you to enjoy from the safety of your own vehicle. They are definitely going above and beyond. Oh, did I mention that there will also be candy? Remember how much fun it was to surprise your friends and neighbors with May Day baskets delivered to their door; always, of course, ringing the doorbell, then running and hiding? It gave two sweet 14-year-olds a great idea. My granddaughter, Macey Jo, and her close friend, Sophia, have been busy decorating paper bags and filling them with treats to hang on their neighbors’ doors. The bag reads “Happy Halloween from your Secret Spook”. The trick is to run fast; and both girls do that very well.
that makes other people happy. The best benefit of being self-employed is that I was allowed to be present when our girls were growing up. It allowed me to help start the Preschool at the NCRD, to volunteer at the school & go on field trips, and later to volunteer as support for the speech team.
Education: I am a proud Neah-Kah-Nie graduate of the class of 1985. I have also been the NKN Booster Club President off and on for the last 10 years. After high school, I went to ITT Technical Institute for business administration; something my mom wanted me to do. I studied to be an interior designer and achieved CID, and I got the message I would not be able to support myself on the coast doing so. In the end, my mom was right.
Some of what I learned at ITT has supported my design career, family, and running a business. In my 20’s, I had earned an ECE degree, and did daycare from our home so that I could be with the girls when they were babies. That training and experience helped me in becoming the mom that I am today, and volunteer at the school. Family: My Mom is my

During my training as a firefighter and paramedic I’ve grown to see the importance and value of hard work, creative thinking, and problem solving.

COVID-19 puts prep sports on hold but two Cheesemaker standouts are finding other avenues to up their game Joe Warren jwarren@countrymedia.net When sports resumes at Tillamook High School, two standouts on the basketball team are returning that should give the Cheesemakers the one two punch needed to finish on top of the Cowapa League. With the pandemic continuing this year, prep sports are on hold in Oregon, at least until the end of the year and perhaps beyond. That’s not stopping Trask Veek-Petersen, who is a sophomore and Marshall Allen Jr. a junior, from upping their game, working out and playing on a traveling team over in the valley. Both are playing with Elite 24 a league of top high school athletes who travel to play others standouts. The team has been to Idaho, have plans to play in Phoenix, Utah and Las Vegas to play in tournaments if permitted by pandemic orders. Petersen and Allen are
both scoring threats from anywhere on the court. Peterson averaged 15 points per game, during his freshman year last season and Allen averaged 18 points per game during his sophomore season. Both started for the Cheesemakers and both earned First Team All League honors for their efforts. But with little to no local outlets to keep their game in mid-season form, They have been training weekly out in Portland with some of the top trainers in the Northwest. Trainers who work with athletes like Payton Pritchard and Terrance Jones. They are getting in the gym with older players and college athletes. Petersen and Allen have also been playing high level AAU basketball when facilities allow. About the duo: Marshall Allen (class of 2022) Sophomore year league

Why are you running for city council position 3 for Rockaway Beach? Originally, there was not an incumbent in spot #3, though there ended up being 5, and the people as the voted-in choice honored me. This time, it would be a waste of resources to change, both for the city, and myself. I’m using the same signs that I did in the last election. I try to reuse, recycle, and repurpose in my life if I can. No one can tell me why our seats are numbered. What if those were removed, and those with the most votes won? Why does 900 votes of the people lose, and 215 votes win a seat? I don’t believe this works for citizens or staff. I am running to fix this stuff and for the economic health of our city. I want this to be a place our kids and grandkids can live, earn a living and raise a family as we have.

What is Rockaway’s biggest challenge and how will you and overcome that? Our two biggest challenges are finances, and the lack of working together in regards to them. The goal is to improve and increase services without increasing rates and fees. We can only do that by working together. That means all of our business community; city staff, and citizens, full time and part time. We allow retired professionals to sit on our citizen committees as the comprehensive plan demands and let them find ways to increase revenue. Lets look at ways to save spending, such as budget and tourism workshops. I want to stop allowing the old tactics of separation, of entities being pitted against each other. The two areas I hope to see heal first are the business community, and our emergency services departments. To survive COVID or a natural disaster, we must work together. All of us, our economic health, happiness, and even our lives could depend on it.

Holiday treats baked daily New boutique arrivals to respond from a place of calm and care. I do my best to stay engaged and remember hope– the hope that is rooted in the mystery and uncertainty of it all. I know that both optimism and despair can give us the illusion that we already know the outcome (It’s all going to be fine! or It will continue to get worse!) and that can lead to apathy. Instead, I work to stay in that place of “wise hope” or “active hope” that is rooted in I don’t know and urges me to continue working to end racial inequities and racism. Because it feels the pain of others, my own heart is uplifted, and that helps me stay engaged. The poem “Clearing” by Martha Postlethwaite brings me a sense of clarity as I find my way on this journey. Perhaps it will also help guide you if you are wondering or feeling stuck on your own path towards

3% of cases; and Hispanic or Latinx people are 13% of the population, but 43% of cases. To give a comparison for context, white people make up 84% of Oregon’s population, but 49% of cases. These numbers reveal the racial inequities within healthcare, as well as the many other interwoven systems of our society, both historical and current, including—housing, employment, education and the legal system. My anguish multiplied as this year continued the legacy of state-sanctioned violence towards Black people in so many cities across our nation. The brutal murder of George Floyd brought feelings of hopelessness and despair, and I know I am not alone. I knew I needed to find a way to stay resilient during these times. My first step was recognizing that my feelings of despair and overwhelm are there because I care. My heart breaks because I have let myself be open to the suffering of others. I know that numbness is not my way out of this; continuing to feel more, not less, is the path to staying resilient. I also have to allow myself to self-protect. I sometimes need to take a break from the news. I know I cannot respond wisely from a place of agitation. I have

Dr. Cornel West recently said, “we would be numb if we weren’t wrestling with despair.” As this year has unfolded, I have found my own heart wrestling with much despair. The pandemic exposed so many issues around racism and health equity. Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other People of Color have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

fices of Jason C Tatman APC as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 5/24/2018 as instrument number 2018-02976, book XX, page XX notice is hereby given that on 11/6/2020 at 10:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: Lots 5 and 6, Block 2, Russell Hawkins Addition to Garibaldi, in Tillamook County, Oregon. Commonly known as: 305 FIRST STREET, GARIBALDI, OR 97118 The sale will be held at At the front entrance to the Tillamook Courthouse, 201 Laurel Avenue, in the city of Tillamook, County of Tillamook, OR 97141. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid an estimate of $197,387.46. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $19,738.75 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $19,738.75 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $197,387.46, as of 11/5/2020, plus all other amounts that
