Dungeness Crab season now reopened for recreational fishers, Jan. 15 for commercial

For the Herald

Oregon’s commercial Dungeness crab fishery season opens from Cape Falcon to Cape Arago on Jan. 15 after having passed all tests for the crab being ready to harvest. The season opens Feb. 1 from Cape Falcon north to Washington State in accordance with the Tri-State Protocol.

Meat fill now meets or exceeds criteria in all areas of Oregon, and biotoxins are below alert levels in all crab tested from Cape Arago north. Domoic acid testing of crab will continue from Cape Arago south to the California border as test results today showed elevated levels of the biotoxin in that area.

ODFW works closely with the crab fishing industry, the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture on testing and season openings. ODFW also coordinates with California and Washington to help create an orderly start to the season within the Tri-State region.

Tim Novotny with the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission stressed the importance of being able to deliver a level of certainty in the product to the marketplace to

start the fishery, both for industry and consumers to have confidence in the product. That comes through rigorous preseason testing and only opening regions where crab are ready for consumption.

“Oregon’s Dungeness crab fishery has been recognized worldwide for its sustainable fisheries practices for generations now. The work we do with ODFW and the hard work and cooperation of the fleet helps us continue to work to solidify our reputation on sustainability, which is a huge benefit for the fleet and coastal communities yearround,” Novotny said.

Novotny and Caren Braby, ODFW’s Marine Resources Program Manager, say generally the fleet and industry support later season openings when necessary to ensure crab are ready. This season has been just such a situation and industry has overwhelmingly supported waiting until now for the season to start.

“Look, everyone wants to start Dec. 1,” Novotny said. “But the fishermen know that this process sets a high bar on purpose, so consumers know they’re getting the highest quality and safest product

Local dance center owner building Apts. above studio

Headlight Reporter

Four new workforce apartments will be coming to downtown Tillamook this spring, as construction work progresses above the Oregon Coast Dance Center.

Lisa Greiner, the center and building’s owner, has been able to leverage multiple grants from the state, county and city governments to bring the project to fruition.

“For me it’s a personal thing of that target demographic,” Greiner said of her motivation to offer workforce housing.

She said that she hoped to offer affordable accommodation to people with good jobs but who weren’t ready to buy a house.

Greiner envisions the apartments filling a gap in what housing policy

experts in America have come to refer to as “missing middle” housing in recent years.

“Missing middle” housing consists of housing modalities other than detached, single-family homes or high-rise apartment buildings and, as the name suggests, is undersupplied in America.

The renovated building will house three two-bedroom apartments and one one-bedroom apartment, each of which will have a single bathroom.

The two-bedroom apartments will be approximately 1,000 square feet, while the one-bedroom will be 700.

Greiner has danced at the Oregon Coast Dance Center (OCDC) since she was a girl taking classes from Pat Hawkins, the original owner.

When she returned to Tillamook after a decade in San Diego, Greiner began teaching at the center in 2011, before purchasing it in 2013.

At the time, OCDC was based in the building that currently houses Cricket Wireless in the 100 block of Main Street, which was inadequate for the center’s needs.

“I knew I needed to expand; I was at capacity there,” Greiner said.

She began exploring other properties in town and landed on the building at 312 Main, which she purchased and moved into in late 2018.

The building was built in 1909 and has housed many different businesses, spending much of its life as a furniture store.

When Greiner moved in, she began using the downstairs space for classes immediately, but had no plans for the second floor.

Greiner was drawn to the idea of housing but initially thought that it would be impracticable financially.

“Housing always came up, but it was crossed off the list so fast,” Greiner said.

But then Sierra Lauder from the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce told Greiner about an Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation grant that might help renovate the space.

The Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant funds work on buildings in downtown areas, with a focus on second stories and housing.

Area grocers suffer losses due to severe storm, power outage

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Christmas week’s severe windstorm knocked power out across the county and caused both Safeway and Fred Meyer to dispose of food that had become unsafe for sale.

Meanwhile, the Grocery Outlet in Tillamook was able to avoid major losses through careful planning and a well-executed plan, losing under $200 in spoiled food.

The windstorm hit Tillamook on the evening of December 26 and saw heavy gusts batter the town overnight and into the next morning.

Around midday on December 27, power in the City of Tillamook and all points north in the county went out.

According to Joanna Stelzig, public relations manager at the Tillamook People’s Utility District (PUD), damage to transmission lines operated by the Bonneville Power Authority and Pacific Power cut electric service to around 17,000 residents of the county.

Crews worked overnight and were able to restore electricity to all affected customers within 24 hours.

“We really appreciate the community and our customers’ support at this time,” Stelzig said of residents’ understanding during the extended outage.

At the Grocery Outlet supermarket, owners Rob Williams and Marilyn Diego quickly sprang into action.

The couple had implemented a plan for such an event after taking over the store in October and trained employees on how to proceed.

They quickly called a refrigerated truck in from Portland and transferred fresh produce and meat to it and put their frozen merchandize in their walk-in freezer.

When power came back on December 27, a United States Department of Agriculture tester was on site and tested the stored food, confirming it remained at a safe temperature for resale.

The only loss that Grocery Outlet suffered was an overlooked box of string cheese that was left on a grocery cart, a $172 oversight.

Meanwhile, at Safeway and Fred Meyer the power outage apparently led to much greater losses as both stores had dumpsters in their parking lots on December 27.

Safeway referred questions about the losses to Jill McGinnis, Director of Communications, Public Affairs and Government Relations for Safeway and Albertsons, Portland Division, who declined to comment on the extent of Safeway’s losses during the storm.

In response to follow up questions about Safeway’s preparedness plan in such emergent situations McGinnis released a statement blaming road conditions for the loss.

“As the recent winter storm conditions caused power outages and road closures across the state, our Portland trucking department was delayed in servicing more than a dozen stores that were also without power and in need of similar assistance,” the statement read.

Fred Meyer’s Manager declined to comment on his store’s response.

After newly elected officials are sworn in, Garibaldi Council gets back to work

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Garibaldi City Council met for the first time since October on January 5, holding a special session to swear in new councilors and address pressing business.

After Judge Jonathan Hill swore in Mayor Tim Hall for his new term and new Councilmembers Linda Bade and Norman “Bud” Shattuck, the council approved a major Oregon Department of Transportation project.

The ODOT project will see major upgrades to Highway 101 in downtown Garibaldi, including upgraded crossings.

ODOT will be funding the lion’s share of the $12.5 million project, with Garibaldi contributing just $157,000.

Final planning for the project will be undertaken this year with construction expected to begin early in 2024.

The council also moved forward on drafting a scope of work agreement for Milt Johnson, an outside accountant, to help complete out of date audits for the city.

Councilmembers Katy Findling and Linda Bade, who have been working on the

city’s finances were delegated to complete the document.

For the third month in a row, Councilor Judy Riggs was absent from the meeting.

After announcing her intention to resign from the council to the Herald, Hall said that neither he nor city staff had received a resignation letter from Riggs.

City Manager Jay Marugg said that Riggs had not been in contact with him prior to

the meeting to announce her absence.

Hall said that if Riggs is not present at the regularly scheduled January 17 meeting, he will be accepting applications to replace her on the council.

After the meeting, Hall also pushed back vigorously against Riggs’s claims to the Herald of having been subjected to a hostile work environment.

“There has been no hostile work environment during a city council meeting since I’ve been mayor,” Hall said. He emphasized that he tried to promote an environment of respect at meetings and wanted all councilors and members of the public to have their opinions heard.

Manzanita council delays decisions on projects says more information needed for newly elected officials

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Manzanita’s new city council delayed decisions on several issues on January 4, expressing wariness about their predecessors’ committee selection process and asking city staff for more information on several items.

The council gave final approval to a $1.6 million improvement of Dorcas Avenue to be complete by Advanced Excavation Inc. of Nehalem.

The project is expected to take about six months and all the funding is coming from the city’s budget.

Judge Larry Blake of Manzanita’s Municipal Court swore in Mayor Deb Simmons and Councilors Linda Kozlowski and Brad Mayerle at the beginning of the meeting.

“I am here with a commitment to action,” Simmons said after being sworn in and thanking her predecessor, the retiring Mike Scott.

After electing Kozlowski Council President by a unanimous vote, the council moved into the meeting’s business with the consideration of returning to in-person meetings.

City Manager Leila Aman presented a report to the council that said it would cost around $750 monthly, or $9,000 annually to return to in-person meetings.

Those costs stem from the city’s current lack of a city hall with council chamber, necessitating the rental of the Pine Grove Community House for public meetings.

Additional funds would need to be allocated for staff time to maintain Zoom and YouTube livestreaming capabilities for the meetings.

All six other cities in Tillamook County have returned to in-person meetings but Manzanita councilors remained reticent to commit to doing so.

Each of the councilors said that with Covid case numbers high after the holidays, they were hesitant to meet in person.

They said they might be willing to begin in March if numbers trend downward and postponed a decision until their February meeting.

Council then heard a presentation on the ongoing stormwater system development charges assessment from Shawn Koorn from HDR Engineering.

The assessment will lead to an update in charges that newly constructed buildings in the city pay to be connected to the water system.

Those charges aim to equalize the cost burden for system upgrades that have been paid for by existing users over the years.

The fee for stormwater system development was last updated in the 1990s and stands at $174.

The ongoing assessment will be suggesting an almost tenfold increase in that fee to $1,700 for a 5,000 square foot lot, with larger lots paying more in direct proportion to their size.

HDR Engineering will be bringing the final report to council at their February meeting where they will vote on the fee increase.

Following the storm water presentation, the council moved on to consider appointments to the planning commission.

A search committee had put forth recommendations for three empty spots after going through a lengthy application and review process in 2022.

But Mayor Simmons, who must give final approval for the appointments, took issue with that process.

She said that she had misgivings about the conduct of search committee member and Councilor Jenna Edginton, as well as Aman, who Simmons felt had interjected

her opinion in the process.

Simmons flatly rejected the search committee’s nominations, saying that her review of the applicants using the same decision matrix had led to different candidates.

She said that she favored reopening consideration of all 12 applicants and letting the newly seated council review them and offer its own recommendations.

Planning Commission Chair Karen Reddick Yurka who had led the search committee and was at the meeting was taken aback by this proposal from the new mayor.

Yurka said that after spending many hours working on the selection process at the direction of elected officials, the abrupt about-face was insulting to the committee members and their nominees.

Edginton concurred with Yurka and Kozlowski added that delaying the appointments would continue to leave an important government body shorthanded.

Aman said that while Simmons will make the final decision, the city’s charter required a process be followed to evaluate applicants and that doing so would take at least two meetings.

Simmons said that the delay was unavoidable due to the discrepancies in the search committee’s procedure, which she said had also been noted by the Oregon Mayors’ Association.

She said that she would add discussion of search criteria to the city council’s work session in the second week of January and begin the mandated process to reevaluate applicants.

Finally, the council approved criteria for the search for new budget committee members and adjourned.

Commissioners give final approval to dredging work on Memaloose Boat Ramp

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Dredging work on the Memaloose Boat Ramp was given the final go-ahead by the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners on January 4, 2023.

Commissioners also renewed a contract for shortterm rental management

services for the county with Granicus LLC, which will see a hotline established for citizen complaints.

The Memaloose dredging project has been long-awaited by Tillamook County anglers who have found one of the two boat ramps at the site unpassable for several years.

Permitting work on the project began in 2019 but owing to

the large number of agencies that had to approve of the work, the process was repeatedly delayed.

Billeter Marine will be doing the work at a cost of just over $216,000 and expect to finish the project by February 15.

Commissioners also approved the purchase of just under $145,000 in beams to be used in the construction of the Illingsworth Creek Bridge.

The renewal of the contract for short-term rental management software includes a new citizen response hotline to be operated by Granicus on nights and evenings.

Director of Community Development Sarah Absher told commissioners that she expects the line to start operations in March in time for spring break.

Operators at the hotline will log the complaints and reach

out to the contact person for the offending property.

Complaints will also be compiled into a dataset that will allow the county to better evaluate the impacts of short-term rentals and quickly identify properties operating without a license.

Absher said that the hotline should also help to relieve the sheriff department’s workload, as the agency has been saddled with the responsibility of responding to violations to this point.

Commissioners also reappointed Larry Rouse to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, Sadie Walker to the Tillamook County Library Board and Jeremy Strober to the Tillamook County Tourism Advisory Committee.

Be aware of new laws in Oregon that began in January

Important, new laws passed by the Oregon Legislature will take effect on New Year’s Day. These statutes will impact the day-to-day lives of Oregonians, covering everything from restitution for crime victims to workers’ compensation to voter registration.

“These changes will make Oregon more safe, more fair, and more affordable,” said Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber. “But, the work isn’t done. We look forward to delivering more progress for the people of Oregon in 2023.”

A selection of the new laws going into effect on January 1, 2023 is available below.

Access to restitution is important in the process for crime victims to move forward. HB 4075 streamlines the court process for obtaining an award of restitution and elevates payments to a

possible,” he said. Braby agrees.

“I’m proud of the crab fishery and our management of this iconic symbol of the Oregon coast,” she said. “By working with industry on the problems we’ve faced – from biotoxins, whale entanglements, and climate change – we’re crafting a stronger fishery that will stand the test of time. Steady collaborative management fostered an environment in which the fishery’s value and reputation continue to grow.”

The earliest the commercial crab season can open by regulation is Dec. 1 pending meat fill and biotoxin results. In recent years, that has been rare – 2021 was the first time

Senate Bill 1574: Ensure

Proper Medical Forensic Care for Survivors of Sexual Assault Survivors of sexual assault seek care from Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and Sexual Assault Examiners in hospitals across Oregon.

It is often assumed that the evidence collected in hospital exams is included in the SAFE Kit, but sometimes it does not get included. SB 1574 ensures that the Medical Forensic Examination Forms are included in the SAFE Kit prior to transferring it to law enforcement.

since 2014 the fishery opened Dec. 1.

During 2020-2021, the season opened in stages (Dec. 16, 2020 south of Cape Falcon; Feb. 15, 2021 north of Cape Falcon). Fishermen brought in 12.2 million pounds of Dungeness crab coastwide with an ex-vessel value of $60.6 million. The 2021-2022 season brought in just over 17 million pounds of crab with a $91.5 million ex-vessel value.

ever, agricultural workers were exempt from both the state and federal maximum hour requirement laws and therefore were not entitled to overtime pay. This inequity was accentuated by the intense manual labor, extreme heat and chemical exposure that farmworkers often face. HB 4002 remedies this inequity by phasing in overtime limits over several years, starting at 55 hours in 2023 and reaching 40 by 2027. Farmworkers will be entitled to one and half times pay for each hour beyond these limits. HB 4002 also allocates $55 million in tax credits and $10 million in grants or loans to help farm owners make this transition.

House Bill 4138: Injured Worker Parity Bill

Often, injured workers must rely on workers’ compensation benefits to replace their wages while unable to work. Once that worker reaches maximum improvement, the worker’s compensation benefits end. At the same time, workers often find that

Recreational bay clam and mussel harvesting also remain open along the entire Oregon coast. However, razor clamming is still closed coastwide.

ODA tests for shellfish toxins twice per month, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit.

It is recommended that recreational crab harvesters always eviscerate crab before cooking. This includes removing and discarding the viscera, internal organs, and gills.

Greiner applied for the grant in 2019 and was awarded $200,000 in funding.

That initial success got the ball rolling for Greiner who then began to explore other funding sources.

And while we didn’t find those rarest of beachcombing jewels, a glass float, we did find some interesting things. In addition to numerous round black floats, there was a big plastic float that was yellow on the top and orange on the bottom. It was too big for us to haul back, but I took a picture of it to send to a beachcombing friend in Washington. That fellow said that bi-color floats are unusual and a “find.” We alerted a neighbor in Cape

Cape Meares residents Jenny Francis, Bev Stein and Kathy Burke recently submitted “scarlet” works for a 2023 community art show in Manzanita. The Hoffman Center for the Arts invited part-time or full-time residents from Tillamook or Clatsop County to submit works under the theme “Scarlet.” What did our three artists enter? Well, you’ll have to visit the Hoffman Center to find out (594 Laneda Avenue in Manza-

The Scarlet exhibit will run through Jan. 28. We crossed paths with a couple of surfers who had just come off the beach on New Year’s Day. Capt. Pete asked if they had already finished surfing, and they replied that they had had to cut it short to attend an event at Cape Lookout. What event was that? A polar plunge, to kick off 2023! They invited us to join them. Naturally, we did… not. I later read that this was

the 8th Annual Polar Plunge at Cape Lookout. Hardy souls out there.

The Rockaway Beach Emergency Preparedness meeting on January 4 discussed what the city learned during the recent power outage. Nineteen people attended, led by Emergency Manager Letty Buchanan.

One important topic: the breakdown in communications as the storm knocked out power up and down the coast.

“This was very eye-opening on things that have to be fixed,” said Buchanan about the outage. “It affected not only our communications, but EMS communications as well.”

The Emergency Preparedness committee is looking into backup battery solutions for the handheld radio system, plus installing a repeater and a station radio. The department is actively seeking volunteers to be trained in the radio communication system, and is putting together an improved training program. (See the end of this column for contact information.)

One key takeaway: few knew that City Hall runs a warming center, with hot coffee, cocoa, snacks, space heaters and blankets, plus outlets for recharging batteryoperated equipment.

“Let people know we have wi-fi, and they will come,” Buchanan added with a smile. The plan going forward is to open the warming center as soon as it’s confirmed that the transmission line has gone down. There’s also a plan for a sandwich board on 101, in front of City Hall, with the information.

mayor-elect Charles McNeilly. Additionally, in the event of longer outages, City Hall is planning to serve hot food—pancakes and soup being the two menu items, as they are inexpensive and easy to store and prepare in bulk.

Outgoing mayor Sue Wilson also suggested canned chili, as a way of providing easilyprepared protein to a crowd. (Yes, both mayors were present at the meeting. Remember the scene in “Jaws” where the mayor refuses to admit there’s a shark? Not in our town.)

Significantly, our cell tower lost power, explaining why phones failed. Apparently the tower only has battery backup for three hours of operation. In addition to loss of cellular communication, the aircraft warning lights also went dark. This could be catastrophic if we require air lifted supplies in an extended emergency.

The team decided to look into Federal Aviation Administration regulations for a solution, as the red beacons are meant to prevent aircraft collisions.

Other topics included using buses and volunteers to bring people to City Hall if they have no means of getting there by themselves. Buchanan stressed that there will be a protocol to get people

We also learned that the group is working with state representatives for funding “to have a [supply] trailer in every single one of the evacuation zones,” said Buchanan. This would expand what is currently a single trailer at the top of North 3rd. At present the plan is to provide supplies for the number of homes in each area, plus 20%. The eventual goal is to have supplies sufficient for a month, in the event that transportation across the Coast Range is affected for an extended period.

Shortly after the meeting, Buchanan followed up with me about future meetings.

“I’m going to work on changing the way the meetings are run monthly to be more focused and accomplish more each time we meet,” she told me. “I will be presenting a road map soon at city council that outlines goals for this year and what’s been done so far. I’m hoping we can recruit a lot more community members to become involved.”

You can follow the Rockaway Beach Oregon Emergency Management and Preparedness group on Facebook, or contact RBEMERGENCYPREP@OUTLOOK. COM by email. If you’re interested in becoming more involved, the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 1, at City Hall (276 S Hwy 101) at 6 PM. The agenda: a tabletop exercise to train people how to respond to emergencies.

Is there a new class in America

The New York Times recently published a story about an internal debate raging among the luxury class in America. The issue? Whether airlines should allow babies in the first-class section of the plane.

Who wants to hear crying toddlers when one is working out details of how to pull off a monopoly-inspired hostile takeover or plan how to bury

the truth about profits and CEO benefits in the annual report?

Similarly, the Chicago Tribune showed the 1% class’ petticoat in revealing that Mayor Lori Lightfoot pushed for different seats at Bears football games due to security concerns. Why should a high and mighty public official have to rub shoulders with the city’s riff raff on her day off anyway?

America’s burgeoning new aristocratic class was given

massive new support when President Trump’s lawyers argued in his impeachment trial, and Senator Lindsay Graham argued later on, that Presidents and Senators must have “absolute legal immunity” from prosecution because they are naturally different, special, essentially above the law. Is this what we want?

Crab fishers push back against delayed season opener

A group of Oregon Dungeness crab fishers comprising nearly 10% of the state’s permitted commercial fleet sent an open letter last week to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife strongly criticizing the Department’s failure to open the Dungeness crab season along approximately half of Oregon’s coast in areas where crab have exceeded meat quality thresholds for several weeks. As the delayed opening enters its second month, the fishers’ letter describes in detail how the Department’s refusal to open the season has cut off a key economic lifeline to small fishing communities up and down the Oregon coast. The letter also takes sharp aim at the Oregon Dungeness Crab Advisory Committee, which the fishers describe as an “echo chamber” made up

of special interests including major processors that benefit from lower prices that predominate after the end of the peak-demand holiday season, at the expense of mom-andpop businesses and Oregon consumers.

The strong language in the fleet’s letter calls ODFW to account for failing to consider the life-safety risks associated with the late start, stating that “[a]s fishers, we understand and accept the calculated risks that are inherent in our profession. The overwhelming majority of us are highly proactive in doing everything in our power to minimize those risks and ensure that we and our crews return home safely to our families. We cannot express strongly enough how disturbed we are that the Department appears unaware and unconcerned

that its decision-making this season has directly undercut our efforts.”

The letter goes on to insist that ODFW open the season no later than January 15, arguing that failing to do so would amount to an “extraordinarily irresponsible” move that “would leave a devastating and likely permanent mark on the composition and integrity of Oregon’s Dungeness crab fishery and its fleet.”

Perry Bordeaux, who fishes out of Newport and helped organize the effort in the week following the December 22 Advisory Committee meeting that preceded the most recent postponement, said that support for the fishers’ position runs even deeper than the large number of fleet members who signed onto the letter on short notice suggests. “I know from my outreach that there are many, many more

Senate Bill 1586: Protections from Inappropriate Nondisclosure Agreements

The Legislature passed the Workplace Fairness Act (WFA) in 2019. Under the WFA, a private employer must adopt a written policy outlining procedures and practices for reducing and preventing discrimination and sexual assault. The WFA also prohibits employers from entering into

members of Oregon’s fishing fleet who support our position but are not yet comfortable speaking out publicly at this juncture,” Bordeaux said. “I expect that as momentum builds in favor or clearer rules regarding the season opener, more and more small to midsized crabbers will step up and join our push for more equitable, transparent, and principled decision making at the state level,” Bordeaux continued. “The bottom line is that the delays this season have been a disaster for most stakeholders, from consumers, to marine wildlife, to mom-andpop fishing businesses and the family-wage jobs we support in our coastal communities. The Department needs to understand and appreciate the harm this unnecessary delay has created so that it can avoid repeating these costly mistakes in the

a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) as a condition of employment. It was brought to the attention of the Legislature that a loophole was being exploited that was effectively continuing the use of NDAs in inappropriate situations. SB 1586 closes this loophole. The law extends the prohibition regarding NDAs to cover former employees of private and public employers and clarifies that the prohibition covers current employees. The measure permits otherwise prohibited NDAs under specified circumstances and declares prohibited NDAs to be void and unenforceable.

Senate Bill 1513: Protecting Bakery Workers from Forced Overtime Oregon law generally prohibits an employer from requiring an employee at a mill or factory to work more than 10 hours in a day or 55 hours in a workweek. If the employer processes perishable products, the employer may claim undue hardship. Oregon’s predictive scheduling law also requires employers with at least 500 employees worldwide in the retail, hospitality, and food service industries to give employees a written work schedule at least two weeks in advance, however, it exempted manufacturing. SB 1513 rectifies loopholes that some bakeries were exploiting to force workers to work overtime without notice. The bill prohibits bakery and tortilla manufacturers from taking adverse employment action against an employee who refuses to work a mandatory overtime shift without at least five days’ notice.

House Bill 4113: Worker Compensation for Firefighters with Ovarian Cancer Oregon workers’ compensation laws establish that certain cancers, including oral and male reproductive cancers, are presumed to be a compensable

future,” Garibaldi fisherman and fellow letter signer Levi Cherry agreed. “For me, fresh local Dungeness crab is a holiday staple that Oregonians have enjoyed for generations,” said Cherry. “As a fisherman, I take enormous pride in helping make that tradition possible, and it just crushes me that it didn’t happen this year even though the crab were ready to go across a huge part of the state,” Cherry continued. “The ball was in ODFW’s court, and they dropped it,” Cherry went on, “it’s just a shame, because I feel our regulators are really misinformed about the interests and concerns of the stakeholder community, which is a lot more diverse than just the voices on the Oregon ODCAC,” Cherry said, referring to the Advisory Committee. “I hope our open

An employer can rebut the presumption by providing clear and convincing medical evidence that cancer was not caused or materially contributed to by the firefighter’s employment.

MAKING HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE

Senate Bill 1555: Universal Home Visiting Reimbursement Senate Bill 526 established the Universal Home Visiting program in Oregon. Home Visit programs have shown positive impacts on reducing incidences of child abuse and neglect, improvement in birth outcomes, improvement in school readiness, and increased high school graduation rates for others who participate.

SB 1555 clarifies the Oregon Health Authorities responsibility to support local newborn home visiting services and provide reimbursement for these services.

Senate Bill 1538: Dental care for the Compact of Free Association Communities SB 1538 Establishes a dental program through the Oregon Health Authority for low-income citizens of Pacific Island countries in the COFA community who reside in Oregon.

House Bill 4124: Survey and Best Practices for School Assessments

Oregon schools administer a wide range of standardized tests to identify student progress, barriers, and improvements needed. While

letter is a first step in a larger dialogue that can give voice to these issues and improve the management of our fishery going forward,” Cherry concluded.

The Oregon Dungeness Crab Advisory Committee is expected to meet again this week, to discuss whether to open the season on January 15 or continue the delay. The decision that follows will no doubt have major ramifications for Oregon fishers and the communities they help support across the state.

standardized tests are helpful, we must understand which are the right types of assessments and when is the best time to administer them. House Bill 4124 creates a workgroup to administer a survey to gather information about assessments mandated by the state, federal government, and school districts. This survey will capture who provides these tests, how much they cost, the purpose, and what data this information provides back to the schools. In partnership with the Department of Education, this workgroup will develop recommendations and best practices to ensure mandated academic assessments are used effectively.

To promote equality and representation in our schools, House Bill 4031 creates a goal to have the percentage of diverse employees employed by the Department of Education match the percentage of diverse students in our public schools.

House Bill 4114: Economic Disclosure

Filing for School Board Members

Most Oregon elected officials are required to annually disclose their economic affiliations to the Oregon Government Ethics Commission on a form called the ‘Statement of Economic Interest’ or SEI. Before the passage of HB 4114, local school board members across the state were not required to submit the form. HB 4114 changes the statute to require school board members to annually complete and submit the SEI to the Ethics Commission.

Adventist Health Tillamook steps up big for the community and the rebirth of Alderbrook Golf Course

For the Herald

Adventist Health Tillamook steps up big by becoming a major sponsor of the new Alderbrook Golf, Gardens, & Events (AGGE), opening April 1st.

“It’s really great to see that Adventist Health sees our vision and wants to be a part of it,” said Patrick Zweifel, part of the team purchasing Alderbrook Golf Course. “We see Alderbrook as a community gathering place, centered around a well-managed 18-hole golf course, thriving restaurant, and a garden, park-like atmosphere.”

“Supporting the development of healthy activities for wellness is critical to the future of our community. Adventist Health Tillamook is excited to be the first corporate sponsor for the new future of Alderbrook Golf

Course. This multi-year partnership will provide wellness activities in alignment with our own vision to transform the health experience of our community but beyond that, show that our community is thriving and growing as a home for full-time residents as well as an exciting destination for visitors,” said Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook Adventist Health contacted Zweifel to talk about a custom corporate sponsorship. “Every company has their own vision of what they would like to see and what they would like to spend their money on, and what they get in return. Visibility was very important to Adventist Health—jumping at the chance of putting their name on Hole #1 on the course.”

In addition to a certain number of free membership passes, all employees of

Adventist Health will receive a discount to golf either as a member or in green fees.

For all founding corporate sponsors, “we’re committed to tell the story of what role they’re playing for the rebirth of Alderbrook Golf Course and the positive role they have in our community. In addition to sponsoring certain holes or other landmarks on the course, we’re commemorating all founding sponsors on the community pathway with a beautifully engraved concrete square. So not only are founding sponsors getting value and name recognition on the course, but their name will also be permanently engraved on our community walkway,” Zweifel said.

A message about the Manzanita Transfer Station by Tillamook County Solid Waste Program Manager

The Manzanita Transfer Station, located at 34995 Necarney City Rd, has been home to an open burn site, a landfill, and has operated as a municipal solid waste (MSW) transfer station and recycling facility since 1981, under DEQ Solid Waste Disposal Site Permit #342. The quantities of materials collected at this site have increased over the years, reflecting the increasing population and economic activities in the area. Planning activities initiated in 2017 were completed in 2022.

As the owner and operator of this site, we are pleased to announce that construction is scheduled to being on a significant expansion project during the week of January 9, 2023. This investment will result in additional Z-walls, creating capacity to serve the

community’s needs in the upcoming years. Z-walls enable the efficient transfer of small loads into large containers, which are then compacted and shipped off for final management.

Efforts have been made to restrict construction activities to times and areas separated from public access, to the extent possible. This means that most of users of the transfer station will not experience any impact during construction. All recycling activities will continue as usual. Scrap metal and yard debris acceptance will continue as usual.

Trash acceptance will continue, though periodic restrictions may limit access to the socalled trailer lanes on the west side of the fee station.

Our ability to accept large quantities of rubble (clean fill, sand, concrete, bricks,

etc.) may be impacted during construction. Please contact staff before bringing any quantities of rubble greater than ¼ cubic yard to ensure we have the ability to accept your material.

Lastly, we are all excited about the improvements this construction project will bring, but it is important that the contractors are able to work without disturbances or intrusions.

We request that everyone respect that, stay out of the designated construction area,and be aware of equipment coming and going on site.

If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact my office for more information.

Tillamook County Library launches strategic planning with listening sessions

Tillamook County Library is developing its strategic plan for the next 5 years. Between January and March, the library will be conducting community engagement work to hear what members of the public would like to see from their library in the coming years. This effort will result in a new strategic plan in July 2023 building

on highly rated services the library has provided throughout Tillamook County.

The first two strategic planning events will take place on January 17th at the Manzanita branch and January 19th at the Tillamook Main branch. Both events will be from 6 PM to 7 PM. Join Library Director Don Allgeier for a brief over-

view of the library’s strategic planning process followed by a listening session to provide community members with an opportunity to shape the future of their library. For more information call 503842-4792. More events will follow. For groups that would like to set up a listening session, please reach out to the library for more information.

State provides coastal communities in Oregon new planning resources for sea level rise

Climate change is causing sea levels around the world to rise, which is impacting Oregon’s coastlines and coastal communities, according to the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (ODLC).

As demonstrated by king tides, sea level rise will make existing erosion and flooding patterns worse in coastal regions and put pressure on already stressed ecosystems and freshwater resources. The Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP) has created tools to assist communities in planning for these impacts and continues to lead a community science effort documenting Oregon’s king tides.

The sea level rise adaptation planning toolkit is a set of three resources for local governments and communities to assess and address the impacts of sea level rise:

Sea Level Rise Impact Explorer is an interactive, online planning tool that covers all of Oregon’s coast zone areas. The tool illustrates coastal areas that are

likely to be impacted by sea level rise over the next 30-50 years. Inclusion of an area in the SLR planning area could mean permanent inundation or that the area will be impacted periodically by high tide flooding, storm surge, or erosion events.

Sea Level Rise Impact Assessment Tool is a digital workbook designed to help users inventory what activities take place within areas affected by sea level rise, assess vulnerability to harm, and prioritize further investigation into remedial and adaptative actions. Completing the workbook serves as a jurisdiction’s or organization’s vulnerability assessment.

Sea Level Rise Planning Guide for Coastal Oregon is a document that provides a suggested approach to evaluating the assets at risk from the impacts of sea level rise. It offers potential adaptation strategies to adapt to those impacts within Oregon’s regulatory framework. The guide provides authoritative information about sea level rise projections and impacts.

It is intended to guide local planning, capital improvements, and development decisions on the Oregon Coast that support community resilience and ensure effective coastal management.

To help document the highest tides of the year, and contribute to the library of images that helps us envision a future with sea level rise, volunteers from every part of the Oregon coast are needed to take photos of this winter’s king tide events.

From Nov. 24 - 26, 2022; Dec. 22 - 24, 2022; and January 20 - 22, 2023, these high tide events will give communities a preview of the impacts of sea level rise along the Oregon coast. The thirteen years of data and photos gathered through the King Tides project have helped the OCMP create the sea level rise adaptation resources now available.

The Oregon King Tides program will host several events throughout the winter season about how to participate in this community science effort and about current

climate change research. The king tides website has information about how to become involved and submit photos.

Sea-level rise rates are slower in Oregon than other parts of the country, but Oregon’s coast, particularly the central coast, is experiencing sea level rise every year. The coming years will bring higher tides, and more inundation of coastal communities. OCMP staff are available to help interested communities apply the planning resources and create a plan for an adapted future.

Be Safe

Whenever you are on the Oregon Coast it is imperative that you keep an eye on the ocean at all times. Never put yourself in danger. Be very cautious of rising water, eroding shorelines, flooded roadways, and high winds during any extreme high tide events.

Resources

Senator Ron Wyden kicks off 2023 with a Town Hall in Tillamook on January 8

U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today announced he will have 11 open-to-all, in-person town halls between Jan. 7 and Jan. 20 for Oregonians in Clatsop, Tillamook, Lincoln, Clackamas, Linn, Lane, Polk, Marion, Yamhill, Multnomah and Washington counties.

Heading into these first town halls of 2023, Wyden has held 1,027 town halls statewide in fulfillment of his pledge to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.

“Keeping my promise to hold annual town halls for each of our state’s 36 counties has been key to my public service, and I very much look forward to kicking off 2023 by resuming my inperson town halls with these open-to-all gatherings around Oregon,” said Wyden, who continued his commitment to those annual town halls in every Oregon county during the pandemic by holding virtual town halls in communities throughout the state. “Town halls provide all Oregonians the opportunity to shorten the distance between our state and Washington, DC by asking me any question and sharing any idea.

“That’s the Oregon Way and I’m eager to hear from Oregonians as the new Congress begins about how to make our state an even better place to live and work,” he said.

Congresswoman-elect Andrea Salinas will be joining Wyden for the town halls in Polk, Yamhill and Marion counties. Newly elected Congresswoman-elect Val Hoyle

will be joining Wyden for the town hall in Lane County.

“I ran for Congress to serve the people of Oregon’s sixth district, with a promise to speak with their voice in Washington DC,” said Salinas. “That’s why I’m delighted to join Senator Wyden for three town halls in the coming weeks. The input and feedback I receive from my constituents will be the foundation of the work I do in Congress, and I look forward to hearing from them very soon.”

“I am deeply honored to represent the people of Oregon’s Fourth Congressional District,” said Hoyle. “This year, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to travel throughout the district to meet with constituents, learn about the issues impacting their lives, discuss how my office can best serve them, and share the priorities I intend to bring before Congress. I look forward to joining Senator Ron Wyden at town hall meetings this January in my district to begin this conversation.”

Spirituality: The unsung hero of health

Michelle Jenck Adventist Health Tillamook Director of Community Well-Being

What brings you joy and fulfillment? Is it your family, job, faith, or a volunteer activity? Or maybe it is a hobby like music, art, woodworking, gardening, yoga, or hiking. It might surprise us to know that what gives our life meaning can also help us live longer. When we do tasks and activities that tap into our unique gifts, it brings us a deep sense of joy and satisfaction, but we rarely stop to think about where that comes from. What exactly are we tapping into that brings about these feelings?

When we get lost in an activity, when we are overcome with emotion looking at a baby or feel a sense of awe and wonder looking up at a starry night sky, we may realize there is something beyond ourselves and our own experiences. Practicing intentional awareness of these sensations and how they give us a deeper sense of meaning and purpose is correlated with living longer, healthier lives. This can happen in the context of a faith-based practice, through our relationships with others, or by spending time in nature. It is important to note that it does not have to be through an organized religion and these practices may not be readily accessible to everyone, depending on a person’s life experiences.

Research tells us that

people who have a regular spiritual practice, such as mindfulness, prayer, meditation, or participating in a faith community, are significantly healthier, living as many as 4 to 14 years longer than those who do not. According to numerous studies, spirituality is associated with improved overall health, better recovery from illness (including cancer), and is even a protective factor against disease.

What is a spiritual practice?

Spirituality, faith and religion are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things to different people. The common thread connected to better health is a regular habit of experiencing the sense that we are part of something greater. For some it can best be explained or understood in nature or in our relationships with one another. For others, this is a divinely ordered universe with a creator. Regardless, it is what gives our lives purpose and meaning. When we are living our lives in this way, we are more grateful, have greater life satisfaction and we are more resilient to the challenges and hardships we experience throughout life.

The connection between spirituality and health Mounting research shows consistent positive associations between spiritual or

Apple Spice Oatmeal

religious practice and health and longevity. The correlation is so strong it led Harvard researchers to conclude, “Spirituality should be incorporated into care for both serious illness and overall health.” A study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicates that having a consistent spiritual practice affects immune function, hormones, psychological functions and can prevent social isolation and increase healthy behaviors. The research is compelling and yet not often discussed in the context of public health or western medicine. There is a growing call to change that.

Many spiritual practices, such as mindfulness and faith traditions, have been around for centuries, some for thousands of years. The endurance of these traditions is a testament that they fulfill a need in many people’s lives. Things that work stand the test of time, after all. It is important to consider, however, that what works within these practices is that they orient us to the sense that there is something greater, beyond our earthly existence, beyond our individual needs and desires, that connects all of us to a sense of appreciation, belonging, and greater understanding. This is the common thread to which spiritual practices point. It is the essence of what new research on spirituality is telling us keeps us healthy and helps us attain better health outcomes when

we are sick. When we live our lives with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning, we tap into something beyond ourselves, giving us hope and inspiration.

How to start a spiritual practice

Starting any new practice can be challenging, especially if past experiences have not been positive. It is important to explore what is right for you. It could be joining (or rejoining) a faith community, journaling, meditation, art, or spending dedicated time in nature. Keep in mind that spirituality goes far beyond organized religion (though that structure and tradition works well for some) and

dium heat for 1 minute if using quick cooking oats or 7 to 10 minutes if using old fashioned rolled oats. Stir a couple times while cooking.

4. Remove from heat. Stir in cinnamon, brown sugar and nutmeg, if desired.

5. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

- To increase the apple flavor, use apple juice for all or part of the water. Mixing apple juice with milk may cause milk to curdle.

- Add bite-size dried fruit pieces like raisins, apricots or cranberries in step 3, or sprinkle on top when serving. - Sprinkle chopped nuts on top when serving. - Recipe adapted from Nutrition Matters.

can include anything that fills you with a sense of purpose and belonging, including a spiritual network, close-knit social group, volunteering or individual practice. Think about what gives you purpose and try to dedicate just a little bit of time to it every week.
