Renovated National Bank Building brings

Following four years of renovations and remodeling, the downstairs at the National Bank Building on Henson Plaza in downtown Tillamook is now open for business, with five of seven storefronts spoken for. West Elliot Boutique, marriage and family therapist Lacey Hawkins, photographers Natalie Kay and Kevin Hancock, and a Medicare supplemental-insurance guide have signed leases, and building owner Terry Phillips said he hopes the diversity of businesses, which he hopes to expand further, will help draw more people downtown.

“The more diversity we can have, the more foot traffic we have downtown,” Phillips said, “the more foot traffic we have downtown, the more clothes Recurrent is going to sell, the more cheeseburgers I’m going to sell (at the Dutch Mill Cafe). The more people we can drive downtown, the better we’re going to be.”

Phillips purchased the former National Bank Building on Second Street between Pacific and Main Avenues for around $400,000 in 2021 and has since poured more than twice that into renovating the space, including a total overhaul of the building’s foundation and structure to bring it into compliance with current seismic codes, costing around $250,000. A healthy portion of the renovation budget has been funded by various grants, with the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency chipping in $95,000 for façade improvement, and Tillamook County contributing $100,000 and Main Street Oregon $250,000 towards the addition of nine one-bedroom apartments.

YMCA welcomes new CEO

Downstairs renovations were completed in August and Phillips has been working with realtor Valerie Schumann to find tenants for the space. The Medicare supplemental-insurance guide service will only be in the space through the Medicare open enrollment period before closing in December.

West Elliot Boutique is making the move from another Phillipsowned property, the Cook’s Drug Building on Main Avenue, opening that space up for a nail salon that will be opening following renova-

tions. Phillips said that Kay is planning to use her space as a studio, while Hancock plans to open a gallery and that he was looking forward to Hawkins taking advantage of her affiliation with different community groups to bring activities to Henson Plaza.

Work is still progressing on the apartment portion of the project, with planning paperwork being completed for submission to the county later this year. Phillips said that he hoped to have permits in

hand by early 2026 and to complete the eight upstairs apartments and one downstairs by the end of next year. After that, Phillips said that he will shift focus to the Beales Building at the corner of Third and Main Streets, which he also owns.

The Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency already awarded a grant of $280,000 to upgrade the façade, and Phillips said that he plans to put apartments upstairs but is still considering what to do downstairs.

Richwine settling into new roll at Nestucca

With more than 30 years of experience in the Nestucca School District, Ken Richwine was well-equipped to take over as acting superintendent, but a transition in the last week before the start of the school year has still proven a challenge.

Despite the big adjustment and extensive new responsibilities, Richwine said that he is oddly at peace in the new role and focused on fostering an exciting and welcoming atmosphere for staff and students in the district.

“I want people to enjoy their job, love what they’re doing,” Richwine said, “and I want the kids to enjoy coming to school.”

Richwine is a lifelong Oregonian, born and raised in Milton-Freewater before starting college at Oregon State University. Richwine had always thought he would take over his father’s furniture and hardware store growing up, but after his dad had some health issues

and encouraged him to explore alternate career paths, Richwine recalled positive experiences as a camp counselor and coach and decided to pursue teaching, transferring to Western Oregon University, whence he graduated.

In his first stop out of college, Richwine landed at Beaver Grade School in 1993 as a seventh and eighth grade math and science teacher, thinking he would only spend a few years in the district before quickly falling in love with the local community and putting down roots.

“It’s just those kinds of small towns, you know, everybody looking out for everybody, and I just felt like it was a great place to raise a family,” Richwine said.

Aside from a one-year interlude as principal of Nestucca Valley Middle School before that school’s closing, Richwine continued teaching until 2016 when he became principal of Nestucca High School. After eight years in that role,

Richwine moved to the district office last year as a district administrator, helping with various needs around the district including professional development, career-technical education and filling in for Superintendent Misty Wharton as needed.

When Wharton resigned on August 18, Richwine said that he didn’t immediately think of seeking the acting superintendent position, but when the district’s board of directors asked if he’d take over the role, he agreed. “This isn’t something that I ever aspired to, it wasn’t on my career trajectory,” Richwine said, “but for some reason, when it came up, I thought, ‘well, I can do that for at least a year.’”

Since taking over on August 26, just a week before the first day of school, Richwine said he has been focusing on learning the district’s poli-

In a busy week for the Tillamook County Family YMCA, new CEO Steve Claus arrived on September 15, just ahead of the organization’s annual fundraiser on September 20.

Claus comes to Tillamook after a long career in the private sector and said that he hopes to build on the success of former CEO Kaylan Sisco by maximizing efficiency to provide the best service possible.

“We want to honor the donors by managing what they’ve given to the best of our ability,” Claus said, ‘and we can do that through what we call out in the for-profit world, operational excellence, and it’s really about just getting organized, getting clarity and getting everyone marching in the same direction, serving the community.”

Claus was born in California but spent most of his childhood in Oregon before joining the United States Air Force after graduating from high school. After a four-year stint in the service, Claus landed in an entry level job with Hewlett Packard as a product tester and put himself through college and a master’s program while working his way up through the company to become a director managing 400 employees around the world.

After 22 years with HP, when the company requested, he move to Palo Alto, Claus, who was living in Colorado at the time, declined to uproot his family and transitioned into a consulting role with a company based in Boulder.

Claus consulted for Fortune 100 companies with that company and later remotely for one in the Bay Area while living in Silverton but also took a break from the corporate world with three years at Compassion International, a nonprofit focused on food aid for kids around the world. Claus helped the nonprofit with software development and gained an appreciation for the service mentality that characterized work outside the private sector.

“That was the first time in my career where I made an impact in a completely different way,” Claus said, “serving a mission that is

Tillamook Air Museum Welcomes Historic Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star

The Tillamook Air Museum is proud to announce the newest addition to its expanding aircraft collection: a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. On loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force, this two-seat jet trainer arrives as part of the Museum’s ongoing mission to grow, build and enhance its collection for aviation enthusiasts and visitors alike.

Delivered to the United States Air Force in March 1952, the aircraft was quickly transferred to the French Air Force under the Mutual Defence Assistance Program. After completing service in France, it was returned to the USAF and processed at RAF Sculthorpe in the United Kingdom for disarmament. In 1979, the aircraft was transferred to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, England—a world-class aviation museum renowned for its historic airfield and extraordinary aircraft exhibits. It was displayed in the “American Air Museum” from 1992 until 2016 and was later returned to the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

“We’ve listened to our visitors and recognize the strong interest in seeing new

aircraft added to the collection,” said Christian Gurling, Curator at the Tillamook Air Museum. “The T-33 is a refined, historically significant aircraft that represents a transformative era in aviation. Its addition supports our continued efforts to curate a dynamic and relevant experience for the public, offering something new to discover with each visit. We’re proud to welcome it as part of our long-term vision to grow and enrich the museum.”

The Museum sincerely thanks Sarah Sessions and Mike Rowland of the National Museum of the United States Air Force for their coordination and dedication in making this loan possible.

another great step in doing just that.”

“This aircraft reflects exactly the kind of high-quality, story-rich addition we strive to bring to Tillamook,” said Museum Director Rita Welch. “The T-33 tells the story of postwar innovation, Cold War alliances, and a global transition to the jet age. It also helps us honor the thousands of pilots who trained in this type of aircraft. Our mission is not just to preserve aviation history, but to make it accessible, inspiring, and memorable for every visitor—and this is

The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star will soon be prepared for public display. For updates on its arrival and exhibition debut, follow the Tillamook Air Museum on social media or visit www. tillamookair.com.

About the Lockheed T-33:

Developed from the P-80 Shooting Star, the T-33 served as a vital transitional trainer during the early jet age. Used by over 30 countries, its sleek lines and reliability helped usher in the modern era of military aviation.

Tillamook Starbucks shutters

Staff REPORT

Tillamook’s standalone Starbucks store closed its doors on September 27, as part of a larger move that saw the company shutter 100 stores nationwide.

The decision to close 1% of the corporation’s stores nationwide was announced by CEO Brian Niccol in a memo to employees on September 25. In the memo, Niccol said that follow-

ing an internal review after his arrival at the company earlier this year, “we identified coffeehouses where we’re unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don’t see a path to financial performance, and these locations will be closed.”

Tillamook’s Starbucks had been open since 2022 in its current location after an earlier iteration closed.

“I kind of joked at the board meeting that I’m drinking from a fire hose and I’d be fine if people would turn it down a little bit,” Richwine said. “But it is the oddest thing that it’s overwhelming, but I’m at complete peace.”

As the school year proceeds and he settles into his new role, Richwine said that the district will be focusing on implementing a new math curriculum and supporting teachers with professional development opportunities to optimize it. Richwine said that other top priorities would be supporting staff and recognizing their accomplishments and building strong relationships with students.

“If you have a positive relationship with a student, they’re more likely to listen to what you say, to engage in the topic you’re talking about,” Richwine said. “If they know you care, they’re more likely to be there.”

TBCC Hosts Cultural Celebration to Honor Hispanic Heritage Month

On Friday, September 26, Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) hosted a vibrant Cultural Celebration to honor Hispanic Heritage Month, observed annually from September 15 to October 15. Over 100 community members joined together on campus for an evening of music, food, games and fun.

different from a corporate mission and that has stayed with me ever since.”

Earlier this year, Claus decided to take a six-month sabbatical to enroll in coaching classes and work on a book while pondering his next move, but halfway through the break, an email from an employment agency alerted him of the open CEO position at the Tillamook YMCA.

Claus has deep roots in Tillamook County—his grandfather built the Tillabay Motel in Garibaldi and operated it for years and his mom was born in the old Tillamook Hospital—and after spending years coming to the coast for vacation, Claus

The celebration featured a performance by a mariachi band, and Taqueria Mendez, a local food vendor, catered the event by serving tacos for all. Guests also participated in arts and crafts, trivia, and traditional games, creating an inclusive atmosphere for celebrating Hispanic and Latinx heritage. “We are proud to host this celebration as part of our commitment to diversity, inclusion,

was excited by the prospect of moving and pursued the position.

Upon arriving in mid-September, Claus was thrown into the thick of preparations for the YMCA’s annual fundraising dinner and auction, which he said gave him a great opportunity to watch the staff execute a complex event and experience the community’s support.

Claus was highly complimentary of Sisco’s accomplishments at the Tillamook YMCA and said that they had given him a strong foundation to build upon. “I am blown away and amazed at what Kaylan has created. The relationships that he has repaired over time and built and the foundation of the staff and the Y itself and the assets that we have, all of that is amazing,” Claus said. “There’s no need for me to tear any of that and start over and rebuild. Everything that is in place, I can build on;

and community connection,” said Dr. Paul Jarrell, President of TBCC. “It’s events like these that allow us to honor the rich cultures within our community and bring people together in joy and learning.”

This year’s celebration coincides with a notable institutional recognition: TBCC was included in Washington Monthly’s “America’s Best Hispanic-Serving Colleges”

it’s a great foundation, so my plan is really to come in and optimize that.”

With that in mind, Claus said that he would spend his first 90 days in the role on a listening tour of the community, gauging what people liked about the YMCA and where they saw opportunities for improvement. After that, Claus said that he would use his decades of experience in management to optimize staff’s time usage and incorporate community feedback.

“That gives me a pretty good indication as to how people are feeling about what we do,” Claus said. “It doesn’t mean that everything they ask for we’re going to be able to implement, but it does start to create the themes of how well are we serving the community and what can we be doing to better serve them going forward.”

Washington Monthly’s methodology combines social mobility, graduation and transfer outcomes for Hispanic students, institutional support efforts, affordability and other metrics tied to student success.

by those in the Tillamook district. The Tillamook School District’s biggest improvement came in English language arts testing, where across all students test scores improved from a 27% proficiency mark in 2023-24 to a

42.5% proficiency mark last year. Tillamook’s math and science proficiency also saw improvements, with science scores up more than 5% and exceeding the statewide average and math scores improving 2%. In English language arts, Tillamook’s 42.2% proficiency was within one percentage point of the 43% mark achieved statewide. Eighth and 11th grade proficiency scores were the principal drivers of the improvement, with the former surging from 20% in 2023-24 to 50.4% last year and the latter improving from 25.5% to

58.9%.

Students in the Neah-KahNie School District exceeded the statewide average proficiency mark with 55.9% of students showing proficiency, while in the Nestucca School District 32.6% of students were found to be proficient, down slightly from 34.8% in the 2023-24 school year.

Tillamook’s small improvement in math proficiency results was the result of gains by third, fourth and fifth graders, with seventh and grade returns steady, and slight downticks in sixth and 11th grades.

Neah-Kah-Nie’s profi-

ciency was almost steady year-to-year, dropping from 33.9% to 33.5% and staying ahead of the statewide average of 31.5%.

Nestucca’s students achieved a small improvement in math proficiency, with 13.1% of students showing grade-level skills, compared to 12.4% last year and led by 11th graders, 22.5% of whom were found proficient.

In science testing, Nestucca’s students showed the largest improvement, going from a 15.4% proficiency mark in 2023-24, to a 24.5% mark last year, primarily

driven by a performance jump by 11th graders from 13.5% proficiency to 42.5%.

Tillamook’s science scores’ 5.4% increase was good enough to put the district ahead of the statewide average of 30% proficiency, and as in Nestucca, 11th graders had the strongest performance, with 46.9% demonstrating proficiency.

Neah-Kah-Nie’s science scores were off slightly from 2023-24, when 37.7% of students tested in the district showed proficiency, as compared to 33.3% in last year’s testing.

Students in the third

through eighth and 11th grades take the math and English language arts tests, while only fifth eight and 11th graders take the science tests. Last year was the fourth that standardized testing returned after the coronavirus pandemic forced a one-year hiatus and students statewide have still not matched the performance of their prepandemic peers. Prior to the pandemic, 39.4% of students statewide tested as grade-level proficient in math, 53.4% in English language arts and 36.9% in science.

The Culture Death of Pacific City

For the last twenty years, my closest friends and I, as well as countless surfers and outdoor enthusiasts have made pilgrimages to Pacific City to enjoy what is, without question, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Pacific City was once a mecca for everyday people, a place where families, surfers, and nature lovers could affordably soak in its breathtaking views, consistent waves, and laid-back vibe. We would stay at the RV park for a weekend and feel transported to a far-off paradise. Dogs ran free on the beach, kids played in the sand, and friends gathered around campfires with music, laughter, and a sense of community. It was a bohemian paradise on the Oregon Coast.

But that culture, the very spirit of Pacific City, is dying. In recent years, the town has rapidly become unaffordable. The surfer vibe is being replaced with a scene

that caters to the wealthy and elite, pricing out the working families and surfers who once gave this place its heartbeat. Locals who shaped Pacific City’s identity are being forced out, while the upscale camping resorts and vacation rentals take over. Surfboards and sandy dogs have been replaced by uptight attitudes and designer doodles. If the goal is to make Pacific City into another exclusive playground for the rich, something more like Jackson, Wyoming, then sadly, it’s working. But the cost is steep, the erasure of the people’s coast. Do the wealthy really need one more place to claim from the everyday man? I say no. This isn’t California. This is Oregon, The People’s Coast. And the Oregon Coast is supposed to belong to everyone, not just those who can afford to turn it into their own private resort.

‘Tis the time…

October already. I can’t help but think time is passing so quickly now that I can’t catch up. I remember my mother telling me as a child that the older I got, the faster time would go. I didn’t realize what that meant except that summer vacation seemed to fly by while the rest of the year dragged on, even though I loved school. But now that I am 10 years older than my mother lived to be, I see the intelligence of her words. My mother wasn’t an educated woman, but she was wise, nonetheless. Come to think of it, there were very few times when my mother was wrong when she advised me. It is important to be kind to others, especially those less fortunate. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Early to bed and early to rise. Higher education is important. And time does fly by. I felt like we had very little summer as such. The temps stayed in the 60’s for most of the summer and the night temps occasionally went back into the 40’s. We did have a few spectacular days in September, but that hint of autumn was still in the air.

Trees have begun to change color, but many of my Japanese maples have not so much changed color as browned and just dropped their leaves. I am certain that’s a result of the lack of rain this year. And the garden overall has lost its spark and beauty. The fuchsias look just plain sad as their flowerladen branches sag. Many of the fuchsia have gone to seed which makes them heavier, and more prone to droop. But the hummingbirds still manage to find blooming ones to feast upon. In fact, my hardy fuchsia will bloom into December, making them an all-season plant. And now the hostas are already starting to turn yellow. Quite a few show a lack of enthusiasm not seen earlier in the summer, too. Those

of you who plant hosta will know what I mean. Instead of their leaves being perky and upright, most have started to droop. Hostas are the bellweathers in my garden because as soon as I see them fading, I cut them back to avoid having to do so later when they are slimy. Hostas aren’t the only ones feeling the nip of autumn. The annuals have all but succumbed to the cooler nights and lack of sunshine during the day. Time to cut back the deciduous ferns like lady fern and maidenhair fern as well as the spent day lily leaves. The Japanese maples had started to brown in August but are stubbornly holding on to the leaves. Some of their exhaustion could – again - be due to the dry weather we have had all summer. But I have also stopped watering my garden in anticipation of fall rains. And of course, the garden spiders are out and about spinning their webs in the night to accost me as I walk down the path in the morning. While I hate to have the near-invisible webs in my face, I don’t feel so badly about taking them down since orb-weaving spiders

will absorb the webbing that was destroyed to create new ones each night. Because it takes so much energy to weave those webs, by eating the protein-rich silk, and having it broken down by animo acids and sent to the silkweaving glands, that new silk can be woven into new webs. Isn’t wildlife amazing? And it wouldn’t be Fall without the woolly bear caterpillars predicting the winter. I have already seen quite a few inching their way along the road. According to folklore, for caterpillars of the Isabella tiger moth, the wider the brown band, the milder the winter ahead. Sadly, the folklore isn’t scientific, and the width of the brown simply indicates the age of the caterpillar. But it makes a good story and a fun one to pass on to the grandchildren.

I will admit to being partly glad to see the end of the growing season. I am ready to hibernate like the plants. I will feel differently, I know, come January when I look forward to planning the new gardening year. But for now, it’s time to just let time fly.

What a relief it is to be able to go to Tillamook via Bayocean Road. The new Cape Meares Loop Road is pretty, but it was a drag having to use it for every trip to town. The new bridge on Bayocean Road is nicely done, and we should be set for some time to come. Thank you, Tillamook County Public Works Dept.

This week I went over to Olmedos for a late lunch/ early supper. They are a family-owned restaurant that opened this year; they are on Fourth, behind the Dairy Queen. Open seven days a week, they have breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a specials board in addition to their full menu. Their special on the day I went was baby back ribs with a baked potato, seasonal veggies and soup or salad. They were also offering chili. I had half an order of the ribs, and they were meaty and tender. Since I am avoiding gluten, this was a great meal (the sauce may have had some gluten; I am avoiding, not abstaining). Olmedo’s is a nice addition to the selection of dining options in Garibaldi.

This week I will be attending the League of Oregon Cities’ 100th Annual Conference in Portland. There will be presentations from other city leaders and service providers, and I’m hoping there will be something interesting that I can bring back to better serve Garibaldi.

Whether fish habitat is maintained and more fish survive, but at the expense of people who pay the price by not building or developing in floodplain areas or having to do expensive mitigation. FEMA has an extremely broad definition of building – any change to the environment can qualify. Garibaldi has three unnamed streams on the floodplain map. As I mentioned last week, one runs up between third and fourth and another around ninth. One is farther south. Any development – building, redoing a sidewalk or driveway, adding a patio, changing the landscaping, taking out trees – could result in needing to meet the requirements of this FEMA decision. And if you take one tree out, you might need to replace it with five. They call that mitigation. There were thirty people at the county-hosted meeting, who provided comments to FEMA.

way for the entire community to welcome a new piece of gear, much like christening a new boat but without the champagne. The day began with words from Michael Weissenfluh, City Manager Luke Shepard, Mayor Charles McNeilly and Fire Chief Todd Hesse. Then the Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue crew began the ceremony by wetting down the cab and wiping it dry. Next, the push-in began. Unlike the horse-drawn days, modern fire equipment is immensely heavy and, fortunately, has its own propulsion. But still, the mayor and several city council members put their shoulders to the task of welcoming Quint, as the truck has been named, into the fire station.

What’s the significance of Quint?

“This is a five-in-one fire engine,” Hesse explained. “It combines hose, a pump, its own water supply, ground ladders and an aerial device.”

That combination makes Quint a formidable

addition to our firefighting team. The hose and fitments mean Quint can connect with fire hydrants for urban and suburban duty, but the pump and water tank mean this truck is equally equipped for brush or wildland fires.

While other vehicles in the department’s arsenal have ground ladders, those are limited to 24 feet in height. “They wouldn’t even reach the roof of city hall,” Hesse explained, pointing to the roof in question as we stood on Anchor Street behind it. “The new ground ladders will reach up to 40 feet.”

Better than that is the aerial device with which the truck is equipped. In addition to being able to rotate and extend, this device combines with built-in stanchions on the truck’s chassis to make it possible to lift and carry several firefighters and their gear— or extract residents from a burning building.

“Fully extended, the

aerial device can hold up to 750 pounds hanging off the tip,” Hesse explained. “And that’s fully horizontal: it can hold even more if it’s elevated.”

After Quint was safely ensconced in the station, a group of residents settled down to the fun of hot dogs, snacks, and Tillamook ice cream. A group of volunteers from the newly formed Go Rockaway group handled cooking and serving, as well as choosing winners for the free drawing of a go-bag.

Other drawings included the chance to ride Quint along 101 through town and up to the high school and back. One of the first riders was my wife, Julie Bell, who was very impressed with the engine’s capabilities. “It can make a U-turn in its own length,” she said on her return.

On the subject of Go Rockaway, Hesse had some very kind words. “These people aren’t in it for themselves,” he said, gesturing to Deb Weissenfluh and her group of volunteers. “They’re working to lift up everyone in town.”

I caught up with Deb and chatted about the previous weekend’s event, the Beach Bargains combining 40+ yard sales with special offerings from a large number of Rockaway businesses.

“Everyone wants to do a

two-day event next year,” Deb explained. Signage through town will be expanded to help shoppers find their way. When asked why the event took place in September and not in summer, she said it was a conscious effort to bring excitement and visitors for the shoulder season—the end of summer when tourism starts dwindling with the onset of winter.

The Rockaway Beach Business Association, with Victor Troxel leading this project, has just launched a program meant to help sustain our local businesses through the winter slowdown. Called the First Friday Club, the message is simple: On the first Friday of each month, the club (made up of locals who wish to participate) agree to support a different business, spending $25 or more. Businesses will be chosen at random each month. Victor adds, “Whether you’re a longtime local or new to the area, you’re invited to join us in making a real difference, one Friday at a time. It’s a way to build community while giving our local economy a boost.”

The Oregon State University Extension Service in Tillamook County welcomes the public to participate in the 2025 Coastal Forage Variety Field Day on Monday, October 20, 2025. The field day will take place at 4506 3rd Street, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 in OSU Extension Service room 105 from 3:30- 5:30 p.m. The field day will discuss the overseeded pasture species trial in Tillamook County. Extension faculty will engage in general pasture management tips, and best practices for overseeding to improve the pasture quality.

The workshops are free of charge. Registration is open and will close on October 19, 2025. Find out more about the workshops here: https://beav. es/xxx Or call OSU Extension in Tillamook County at 503-842-3433 for more details.

Mooks rout St. Helens in homecoming game

Will CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

In front of a spirited homecoming crowd, the Tillamook High School Cheesemakers football team opened their Cowapa league schedule with a win, defeating the St. Helens Lions 54-7.

Junior quarterback Kevin Hurliman led a balanced offensive attack with four passing touchdowns, with two going to Griffyn Boomer, as the Mooks improved to 4-1 on the season.

Tillamook started the game off strong with the opening kick putting the

Lions inside their own 20. Facing fourth and short at the 24, St. Helens went for it, falling short and turning the ball over.

Tillamook quickly picked up a rushing first and Aden Camacho Garcia scored an 11-yard rushing touchdown on the next play, with a successful kick putting the Cheesemaker ahead 7-0 with eight and a half to go in the first.

St. Helens responded with a long kick return, setting their second drive up at Tillamook’s 45, but the Cheesemaker defense stifled their offense, forcing a three and out.

After a favorable bounce on St. Helens’ punt, the Mooks started off at their own six-yard line, but a Hurliman completion to Max Abrogoua quickly pushed them to their own 45 before a completion to Troxel put them at St. Helens 37. Two completions to Boomer brought up a first and goal and Joshua Manns converted on a short rush putting the Mooks up 14-0 with just over five left in the first.

Following another Lion three and out, Tillamook set up shop at their own 43 and were again on the move, picking up a quick first on a reverse sweep. A completion to Jorge Laura Juarez pushed the Mooks to the 15 before a beautiful catch by Boomer in the corner of the end zone stretched the lead to 21-0 with a minute left in the first.

Another Lion possession ended in three and the Mooks wasted no time, with Hurliman completing a 50-yard touchdown pass to Tristan Smith Evans on the first play of the next Cheesemaker drive, putting Tillamook up 27-0 shortly into the second quarter after a missed point after.

St. Helens picked up a first before punting the ball away to the Cheesemakers at their own 30 where they started another successful drive, which culminated with Boomer taking a screen pass for an easy 44-yard touch-

County soccer check-in

By MIKE WEBER

For The Headlight Herald

The two-time defending Cowapa League Champion Tillamook High Cheesemakers (2-0-1 league, 3-3-1 overall) started league play strong with two wins last week, putting them in a tie for first place in the sixteam standings with the No. 6-ranked Seaside High Seagulls (2-0 league, 3-2-1 overall).

The No. 12-ranked Cheesemakers concluded a tough four-game nonleague schedule during which they played three top 10-ranked Class 4A squads - The Dalles Riverhawks, Stayton Eagles and Newport Cubs. They dropped three straight games, including a 1-0 home loss to No. 8-ranked Newport (4-2).

Tillamook, guided by first-year Coach Graham Allen, snapped the streak with 7-1 home win the St. Helens High Lions (0-2 league, 0-4 overall). They followed with a 6-0 home win against the Astoria High Fishermen (01-1 league, 1-3-2 overall). In their last game, the Cheesemakers tied the Scappoose High Indians (1-1-1 league, 2-3-2 overall) 2-2 at Scappoose High School.

“We’ve had a few good results so far and that’s nice to see,” said Allen. “We were very pleased to start our league schedule with two wins.” Junior forward and leading scorer Canon Affolter (six goals total) helped lead the Mooks to the victory over Astoria with a hat trick (three goals). Senior Anton Werner scored two goals, and junior Emmett Moody scored one goal to help contribute to the Mooks offense.

Senior Juan Deniz, junior Jovanni Flores and senior Bruno Gonzalez each had assists for the Mooks, who recorded their first shutout victory of the season against Astoria. Gonzales leads the Mooks in assists with a total of three.

“We played well against Astoria, and we had a really good and very polished performance,” said Allen.

The Mooks play their next contest on the road

Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. versus the Banks/Vernonia High Braves (0-1-1 league, 2-3-1 overall).

“All I do is just focus on our next game, because sometimes you can get too concerned about the rankings, but we’re just trying to take things one game at a time and then prepare well for the next match,” said Allen.

Following Wednesday’s contest, the Mooks will follow with a 7 p.m. home game October 14 versus Seaside. Tillamook has seven games remaining on their 10-game league schedule, which concludes October 30 at Seaside. The Mooks are hoping to qualify for the state tournament for a fifth consecutive year.

Tillamook girls seek first league win

The Tillamook High Cheesemakers (0-1-2 league, 1-3-3 overall) will be seeking their first Cowapa League win in girls’ soccer in a 7 p.m. home game Wednesday versus the Rainier/Clatskanie High Columbians (1-1 league, 3-2 overall). The Cheesemakers won at home 1-0 over the Columbians on October 24, 2024, marking their only league win last season.

The Cheesemakers, guided by Coach Brian Reynolds, have played well, particularly on defense where they have allowed just nine goals, and have taken three close defeats decided by two goals or less.

The Mooks have the ninth ranked defense (1.28 goals

per game allowed) out of 31 Class 4A squads.

“We had a time period earlier in the season when we had lots of sickness on the team, so the girls were having a hard time breathing and they just didn’t have the stamina and the energy that they needed,” said Reynolds. “I’m really proud of the girls and they’re all playing really hard. The entire team has been playing really good defense. We’re pressuring the ball and winning it back and just doing whatever we can to take away scoring opportunities for our opponents.”

The Mooks started their 10-game league schedule with a scoreless tie on the road versus the St. Helens High Lions (0-1-1 league, 1-5-1 overall). They followed with a 2-0 road loss to the Astoria High Fishmen (1-1 league, 1-4-1 overall) who snapped a five-game winless streak and notched their first win of the season.

“We were hoping to get a win against St. Helens, but it didn’t quite pan out for us, and we missed a penalty kick,” said Reynolds. “We’re playing very good defense, but we just have to improve offensively and figure out a way to score some goals.”

The Mooks trailed the Fishermen 1-0 at halftime before falling behind 2-0 in the second half. Mooks senior goalkeeper Jessica Brown had a strong effort in front of the net in allowing just two goals by the Fishermen. Despite the close loss, Brown provided a highlight

down stretching the Mooks’ advantage to 34-0 with just under five left in the half.

A Lion turnover on downs gave the Cheesemakers another look with just over two left in the half but a bobbled pass to Boomer was grabbed by a St. Helen defender at the three for an interception.

On the ensuing first down, a Lion running back put the ball on the turf in the end

moment for the Mooks when she blocked a penalty kick in the second half.

“Jessica has been doing a great job all year and she had an awesome performance against Astoria,” said Reynolds. “There was a questionable call by referees that gave Astoria a penalty kick and she just snatched the ball out of the air and saved a PK, which was really fantastic. I’ll give credit to our defense too, because they’ve all been working their fannies off as well.”

Following Wednesday’s contest, the Mooks play their next game on the road Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. against the Seaside High Seagulls (1-1 league, 3-4 overall). The Mooks have seven games remaining on their schedule, which concludes Oct. 30 at home versus Seaside.

Nestucca boys’ soccer

In their historic first season, the Nestucca High Bobcats boys’ soccer team has muddled through a challenging start to the schedule with just one win in eight contests.

The Bobcats, guided by

zone and Vincent Maciel quickly jumped on it for a touchdown to push the lead to 40-0 with under a minute in the half. With the clock running in the second half, Tillamook tacked on another touchdown when Hurliman connected with Eli Wooton on the Mooks’ first drive, stretching the lead to 47. With a Ryan Garcia rushing touchdown in

first-year Coach Peter Deam, have struggled offensively and defensively, and were outscored by a total margin of 16-2 in their first three games, all losses. The Bobcats snapped that streak and earned the program’s first victory, with a 1-0 road win September 16 over the Kennedy High Trojans (0-5).

“The results have not been going very well, but we’re trying to teach the boys to play soccer the right way with passing and moving and tackling well, but we’re struggling to score,” said Deam. “Most of the boys have never played soccer before this year so we’re trying to teach them fundamentals. We’re also trying to compete well against the opponents, but it’s been a challenging task to far. We’re just lacking the cutting edge of being able to score against opponents.”

The Bobcats followed by dropping their first three matchups in the nine-team Special District 2 standings. Those included identical 5-0 losses at home to the Delphian High Dragons (3-1 SD2, 4-3-1 overall) and

the Western Christian High Pioneers (1-4 SD2, 2-8-2 overall). The Bobcats then lost their third straight, 3-1 to the Gervais High Cougars at Gervais High School.

“We have a great group of boys, they’re all trying very hard, but we’re just lacking a little bit of quality on the team,” said Deam. “We’ve seen lots of individual improvements, and we have a core group of seven seniors who did play last year when we had a junior varsity squad. Senior Vince Lewis is our leading scorer (two goals), he’s been a star player for us, and he’s played really well all year. We’re setting the foundation for success this year, but right now we just haven’t been able to have much success on the field.”

The Bobcats play their next game Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. on the road versus the No. 5-ranked Blanchet Catholic Cavaliers (4-01 SD2, 7-2-1 overall) in Salem, followed by a 6:15 p.m. Thursday road game against the Salem Academy High Crusaders (2-2 SD2, 6-3 overall).

the fourth, the Cheesemaker lead ballooned to 54-0 before

a St. Helen touchdown made the final 54-7.

With the win, the Mooks are 4-1 on the season and 1-o in the Cowapa League heading into their final home game of the season against the Astoria Fishermen on Friday at

Neah-Kah-Nie Cross Country check in

JAMES BILLISTINE

Neah-Kah-Nie Pirate Cross Country is sailing through the first half of their season with strong performances from beginners and returners alike.

The boys team picked up a win on Friday September 26 at the Champs Invite in Lebanon, despite not having their number one and two runners, who were out sick,

in the race. The groups of Senior Liam Gibson (3rd, 16:41) and Junior R Jonas Weiss (4th,16:49) led the way to a winning score of 132 points (in Cross Country the lowest points wins; with each runner crossing the line scoring a point in the order of their finish, i.e. 1st is one point, 2nd is two, etc.).

Sophomore Jack Cole and Senior Ansel Al-

brechtson ran 18:37 and 18:46 respectively, placing 41st and 46th. Freshman Zach Luquette and Corban Olson placed 63rd and 79th, with times of 19:29 and 19:55. Sophomore Caleb Sellars finished in 21:22. In the boys 3000-meter junior varsity race Avi Vargas had a personal record of 13:44, and Justin Jones ran a 13:58. This is the first 1st place

trophy the boys have picked up at the Champs Invite in their last 4 seasons of competing at Lebanon. “In 2021 our top varsity runners were almost all running over 21, and now we have freshman and 1st-year athletes running 19- and 18-minute times,” Coach James Billstine said, “I am really happy with the program’s development.”

The girls team consists

of two dedicated runnersJunior Baylee Sparks who ran a 16:46 in her junior varsity 3000, and Junior London Martin who ran a 24:04 in her 5K Varsity race. “Both Girls ran a fast, fairly even pace through their opening mile that I was happy with,” Billstine stated. “Baylee is such a newcomer to running that I think her running a shorter distance (3K rather

than 5K) is going to show her how much more she can push herself. London ran tough, and her time is a minute faster than last years’ time at the same course, so we are excited with her progress.”

FEMA gathers feedback on flood insurance update

Will CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

As part of the public comment process on proposed changes to the National Flood Insurance Plan’s code requirements for partnering agencies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency held a virtual meeting on September 30.

Tillamook County hosted a live event to stream the meeting and offer locals an opportunity to comment, with around 30 attending and a handful joining others from across the state in raising concerns about the proposed updates’ impacts and a lack of consideration given to Oregon’s land use laws in crafting them.

The meeting began with an extensive presentation from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staffers.

John Graves, branch chief for floodplain management and flood insurance in FEMA’s district 10, which encompasses Oregon, spoke first and gave an overview of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The program covers more than 22,000 communities nationwide who adopt minimum flood plain development standards set by FEMA to allow residents access to insurance.

Graves then discussed the legal underpinnings of the proposed updates, which were precipitated by an Audubon Society lawsuit in 2009 based on claims FEMA was

violating the National Endangered Species Act, Magnusson Stevens Fishery Conservation Management Act and National Environmental Planning Act (NEPA), which prohibit federal agencies from harming endangered species.

After the 2009 lawsuit, FEMA was eventually required to obtain a biological opinion from the National Marine Fisheries Service, which in 2016 found that the NFIP was causing harm to Coho Salmon and Orca whales, forcing FEMA to being a NEPA process to update the program’s flood plain development requirements in Oregon.

Under the proposed new rules, any projects proposed in the 100-year floodplain would have to include mitigation efforts that would lead to no net loss in any of the three fish habitat functions to receive building permits. Since FEMA is a federal agency and not allowed to make land use laws, it falls on the localities it partners with in the flood insurance program to implement the new standards.

FEMA has presented three alternatives to partnering agencies to update their codes and continue their participation in the NFIP. Those include a no-action alternative and two options that would allow counties and cities to choose from among four paths to come into compliance with the no-net-loss standard put forward in the biological opinion, with one exempting projects that complete federal per-

mitting from that requirement, and the other not.

The four options for coming into compliance are adopting FEMA’s model ordinance, showing that a jurisdiction’s current ordinances meet no-net-loss standards, developing a customized community plan to meet the standards or pursuing an alternative means of compliance with the endangered species act outside of the FEMA process.

Graves shared some data on the mitigation steps that would be required for development under the new codes, showing that if no-netloss standards were adopted, building a 1,500 square foot home with a 20-by-40-foot driveway in an area of special flood hazard would require .26 acres for mitigation to offset the loss in floodplain storage capacity. This would increase costs by around 10% if mitigation could be accomplished onsite and 30% if it has to be undertaken at another property and impacts to industrial and agricultural development are expected to be similar.

Galeeb Kachra, a senior environmental protection specialist at FEMA, then explained that the first alternative would not meet federal statutory requirements.

Members of the audience asked questions during the presentation, with Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity asking about the impacts on road building and real estate agent Brent Landels calling attention to Oregon’s small

lot sizes making required mitigation measures impractical.

When the public comment period began, around 10 attendees shared their concerns about the proposed update.

Ray Monroe from the Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation District said that he adamantly opposed any additional regulation and asked that Tillamook residents’ and governments’ efforts to improve water quality and fish passage, including the planting of more than 1.3 million trees and shrubs in riparian areas, be considered.

Tilda Jones from the Tillamook Bay Flood Improvement District called on the FEMA officials to take the negative economic impacts that would be caused by the updates be accounted for. Jones also said that she felt the current process was creating a false choice between preserving peoples’ property rights and environmental conservation.

Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity said that he was concerned about the lack of consideration given to fish passage projects the county has already undertaken with partners. Laity said that he worried future projects would run into permitting issues because of the ordinance and that landowners who partner on the projects would decline to participate because of the changes’ negative impacts.

Tillamook County Housing Coordinator Parker Sammons regis-

tered his concern about the negative impacts the changes would have on addressing the county’s housing shortage by raising development costs and limiting where new projects can be built.

Warrenton Mayor Henry Balensifer III, speaking on behalf of the Oregon Mayors’ Association, said that Oregon’s land use goals exist to contain urban sprawl and protect the environment and that the proposed environmental impact statement on the code updates took neither of these factors into account.

Balensifer said that he didn’t appreciate FEMA officials’ inability to answer questions about Oregonspecific land use laws, especially as it related to the feasibility of mitigation efforts. Balensifer said that if adopted, the new development standards would condemn Oregon communities to shrink and die because of a court settlement and asked that FEMA choose the no-action alternative and perform a new analysis that considered the increased cost of building and maintaining infrastructure.

Landels, who had asked questions about lot size during the presentation, again raised his concerns about properties being rendered undevelopable because of required mitigation not being possible at the property or another in the same watershed owing to Oregon’s strict lot size limits in urban growth boundaries.
