COVID-19 update: hospital capacity, hospitalizations, vaccines Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer illamook County Leadership discussed hospital capacity, hospitalizations and vaccines during a community update meeting Friday, Jan. 8. Tillamook County currently stands at 337 positive and presumptive COVID-19 cases, according to the Tillamook County Health Department. Oregon Health Authority reports 302 positive tests for Tillamook County, as of Thursday, Jan. 7. “This morning, we have 71 staffed adult ICU beds available and 140 staffed adult non-ICU beds,” Adventist Health Tillamook President Eric Swanson said. “That’s in Region 1.” Region 1 includes Tillamook, Clatsop, Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah and Washington counties. There are 772 ventilators avail-

T

able in Oregon. The hospital received 400 doses of the Moderna vaccine, of which 304 have been administered, as of Thursday, Jan. 7, Swanson said. The doses come in a vial with 11 doses per vial. The hospital has been careful not to waste any doses. Frontline staff are currently being vaccinated. “As of today, my count shows about 44 percent of our 630 staff have received a dose already,” Swanson said. Tillamook County Community Health Centers Administrator Marlene Putman reported during the Jan. 8 meeting that there have been 14 hospitalizations since the pandemic began. Two COVID-19 related deaths have been reported in Tillamook County, as of Thursday, Jan. 7. The Tillamook County Health Department announced Tuesday, Jan. 5,

the first COVID-19 death. The Oregon Health Authority reported the individual, an 87-year-old man, tested positive Dec. 28 and died Jan. 1 at his residence. The presence of underlying conditions is being confirmed. Oregon Health Authority reported the second COVID-19 linked death in the county on Jan. 7. The individual, an 85-year-old woman, tested positive Dec. 29 and dies Jan. 5 at her residence. She had underlying conditions. Putman said there are some delays in the information with the health department’s data and those reported on the state’s system. Oregon Health Authority’s “Warning Week” data shows Tillamook County is projected to remain in Extreme Risk through Jan. 14. According to Tillamook County Community Health Centers, 73 new

COVID-19 cases were reported between Dec. 20, 2020 and Jan. 2, 2021. To move risk categories, the county must receive less than 60 new cases in a two-week period. The Extreme Risk category limits indoor and outdoor gathering size to a maximum of six people, restaurants are available for outdoor dining or takeout, indoor recreation and fitness and entertainment establishments are prohibited. Long-term care facilities are to allow outside visitation only. Vaccines are being distributed in groups by priority by the Oregon Health Authority’s vaccine distribution plan. The groups include: Group 1: hospitals; urgent care; skilled nursing and memory care facility, health care personnel (HCP) and residents; tribal health programs; EMS providers and other first responders. Group 2: other long term care fa-

cilities and congregate care sites including HCP and residents; Hospice Programs, mobile crisis care and related services; secure transport; individuals working in a correctional setting. Group 3: outpatient settings serving specific high-risk groups; in home care; day treatment services; non-emergency medical transport (NEMT). Group 4: HCP in other outpatient, public health and early learning settings; death care workers. Adventist Health and the Tillamook County Health Department have not received guidance on when the vaccines will be available to the general public but are currently preparing a plan for when the guidance is available.

Public health group interprets COVID-19 data, provides strategies

Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer he North Tillamook Public Health Information Group presented “COVID-19 Strategies for Tillamook County: Fighting a Pandemic from Behind” during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Jan. 6. The group is composed of medical professionals who have interpreted local COVID-19 data. “The Nehalem Bay Health District, and the North Tillamook Public Health Information Group, have an agreement to provide the very best available science and evidence-based information and resources to protect and enhance the health of individuals, primarily focused in the North Tillamook area,” Member Linda Kozlowski said. According to the presentation, new COVID-19 case numbers have increased exponentially since November. Dr. Victoria Holt said Tillamook County had a very low positivity rate until December. Tillamook County COVID-19 diagnosed case rates are now 70 percent higher than those of the county’s adjacent coastal counties – Clatsop and Lincoln – and nearly as high at the metropolitan Portland counties. Holt addressed the new COVID-19 variant that emerged in the United Kingdom and is circulating England and the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, another variant has emerged in South Africa, independently of the variant in the U.K. Holt said moving into February and onward, the county might see an increase in cases if a variant reaches Oregon. “We don’t really know about how widespread the new variant is in this country,” Holt said. The number of virus tests conducted each week has been around 300 and has increased to about 400 tests in December, the group’s data states. Tillamook County’s recent testing is still less than half that of metro Portland counties and about 20 percent less than adjacent coastal counties. Dr. Margaret Steele said being alarmed by the numbers, the group wanted to recommend things we can do as a community to get ahead of the situation. These strategies include universal use of face masks and hand hygiene; physical distancing and limiting contacts by limiting gatherings, avoiding travel, avoiding nonessential indoor spaces and avoiding crowded outdoor settings; and increased testing, diagnosis and isolation, and contact tracing and quarantine. “The traveling public did a lot of traveling over Christmas and New Year’s holidays,” Steele said. As part of the recommendation for universal mask-wearing, Steele said the county could issue policies or directives for mandated mask-wearing, provide public information about choosing and wearing masks, and provide masks for visitors and customers. This would reinforce the state’s mask mandate. The city of Manzanita has placed signs mandating mask-wearing along city streets. Possible county actions for limiting contact include providing physical barriers and visual reminders in businesses to promote adherence to physical distance, Steele said. “We developed a flyer on gathering safely, which is posted on the City of Manzanita [website], the North County Health District and the BBQ website,” Steele said. “It’s also translated into Spanish.” Possible county actions for testing and follow-up include ensuring the health department has adequate resources to provide contact tracing and timely follow-up of close contacts and encourage and support efforts to assist those who are isolating and quarantining. According to the presentation, the state and country will not reach the 85 percent level of immunity until at least the second half of 2021 and there is a need to continue mitigation strategies until herd immunity is reached.

For the Herald

his winter’s final series of “king tides” runs through Jan. 13, which means that this will be the final round for the 2020-21 edition of the Oregon King Tides Project. Every winter for the past decade, a growing army of volunteer photographers has documented the highest point reached by these highest of tides. The camera-wielding volunteers are participating in the King Tides Project, the Oregon branch of an international grassroots effort to document coastal areas flooded by the highest winter tides. Here in Oregon, the King Tides Project has been developed and coordinated by the CoastWatch Program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, and the Oregon Coastal Management Program, a branch of the Department of Land Conservation and Development. From modest beginnings in 2010, the project has grown to the point that more than 100 volunteer photographers contributed more than 400 photos to the project’s archives last winter. Anyone with a camera or cell phone can participate. The first two “king tides” have passed, but volunteers are needed for the third round, beginning on Monday, Jan. 11, and extending through Wednesday, Jan 13. The exact time of the tidal peak will change each day and will vary with loca-

tion; on Monday, it will take place near 10 a.m. on the central coast. For information about how to find tide tables, and much else about the project, go to the website, https://www.oregonkingtides.net/. An online warm-up session for the final round of the project is coming up on Thursday, Jan. 7, 6-7:30 p.m. CoastWatch and the Oregon Coastal Management Program will host a panel discussion featuring geomorphologist Peter Ruggiero, coastal ecologist Sally Hacker, and economist Steve Dundas. Their topic: “Optimizing the ecosystem services of Pacific Northwest Coastal Beaches and Dunes.” For more information, or to register, go here: https://oregonshores.org/events/ talks-climate-beaches-and-dunes. Thus far this winter, some 60 photographers have documented the first two rounds of high tides with more than 200 photographs. But much more need to be done to provide visual evidence of the reach of high tides along the entire Oregon coast. To see priority areas where there are gaps in overage, to go to https:// www.oregonkingtides.net/participate/ and scroll down to “Where.” Every year in early winter, high tides on the Oregon coast are higher than usual. These extreme high tides, commonly called “King Tides,” occur at a few specific times during the year when the moon’s orbit comes closest to the earth, the earth’s orbit is closest to the sun, and the sun, moon and earth are in alignment, thereby increasing their gravitational influence on the tides. The goal of this citizen science project is to encourage Oregonians and visitors to submit photos they take of the king tides to help track sea level rise over time and reveal its impacts on the Oregon coast.

Photographers are also encouraged to take photos at average high tides from the identical vantage points of their “king tides” shots, for purposes of comparison. The hundreds of photos they take reveal current vulnerabilities to flooding. Even more important, they help us visualize and understand the coming impacts of sea level rise (such as flooding and erosion) to coastal communities. Anyone can participate by taking a photo during the peak period of a king tide, anywhere on the outer coast or along estuaries or lower river valleys. Photos that show the highest stand of the tide with reference to a man-made structure or natural feature reveal the reach of the tide most clearly. Participants then submit their photos through the project website (www.oregonkingtides.net). The information gathered can help to guide land use regulations that can be an important component in strategies to decrease tidal impacts to coastal infrastructure, such as appropriate oceanfront or riverine setbacks, moveable development, and stormwater management. Planning for coastal hazards and sea level rise impacts now will help to prevent haphazard management decisions in the future. To get a better view of the project, browse the King Tides photo albums by season: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ orkingtide/albums. You don’t have to be a scientist to understand and help to document how sea level rise may impact places in our own communities. The Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP) is a networked program of coastal cities, counties, and state agencies working to protect Oregon’s estuaries, shorelands, beaches and dunes, and ocean resources.

vidual, an 87-year-old man in Tillamook County, tested positive on Dec. 28. The presence of underlying conditions is being confirmed. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. For the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing any patient information,” said Marlene Putman, Administrator, Tillamook County Health Department. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Tillamook County

has recorded 327 cases of COVID-19. The risk posed by the COVID-19 virus is real and the recent spikes in the county and in the state show that the virus is surging. COVID-19 is a highly infectious illness that spreads like the flu. Local and state health officials continue to urge all Oregonians to take steps to protect those who are most vulnerable to complications from COVID-19. Those considered “high risk” include

adults 60 and older, or anyone with a serious health condition, including lung or heart problems, kidney disease, or diabetes, or anyone who has a suppressed immune system. To help control the spread of the illness the public is urged to stay home as much as possible and avoid gatherings. The health department asks all county residents to continue to take the necessary precautions and follow

current public health guidance to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus: · Follow guidance on face coverings. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. Keep 6 feet of distance from those not in your immediate household. Stay home if you feel ill.

Homeless woman found dead under bridge On January 7th, 2021 the Tillamook Police Department responded to a report of a possible deceased person at the Sue H Elmore Park. It was determined that a Tillamook homeless resident, Cheryl Bartley, age 62, had died sometime yes-

terday, January 6th, under the Hoquarton Bridge where she had been living lately with a companion. All indications are that this was a death of natural causes. Police Department staff had been checking on her and

a companion lately because of the weather, trying to provide some assistance. The Tillamook County Medical Examiner responded and will continue the medical investigation. Family were notified and Waud’s Funeral Home handled removal.

We also view broadband as a competitive issue in keeping Tillamook County as one of the top destinations to work and live,” said David Yamamoto, Tillamook County Commissioner and Tillamook Lightwave Board member. “To do that, we have to start by having a good picture of what connectivity there currently is in Tillamook County and what connectivity issues our citizens and businesses have which will help us determine what next steps to take.” “We will be gathering input through a survey that will be open through February 15, 2021,” said Doug Olson, Tillamook PUD President and Tillamook Lightwave Board member. “We’d like as many residents and businesses as possible to complete the survey so we have a clear picture of the needs and gaps in service.

Yet a single sneaker wave can lift and roll these logs further up or back down the beach. Anyone standing, sitting, or kneeling on one of these debris logs can suddenly be thrown off when a wave hits it and pinned underneath. Not only is the victim then pinned under a heavy log with possible serious injuries, but they’re in jeopardy of being drowned by incoming waves washing over them, filling their lungs with water and sediment. It can take an extended period of time to move one of these very heavy logs off the victim. Log

was saddened to hear of the passing of retired Sheriff Todd Anderson on December 27th. While he started his career with the Washington County Sheriff’s office, we were fortunate that his career path eventually led him to the position of Sheriff in Tillamook County. After retiring, he continued to serve his community by working for the Department of Public Safety, Standards, and Training. Whenever we had occasion to talk to him, we found him to be extremely congenial, knowledgeable and helpful. He will be missed by all who knew him. Good news for Bay City has arrived at the Fencepost desk. I received the following information from our mayor, David McCall: “Jenny Kettner joins the City of Bay City’s small but dedicated staff as a Planning Technician. Jenny lives in 358 Bay City, and is really excited to learn the ins and outs of planning-related issues / in the City. She comes to the City with an interesting nly background, and is even able NT to assist customers in Dutch, if needed! Join us in welcoming Jenny to the Pearl of Tillamook Bay!” David also reminded us that there will be the regular City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 12th, beginning at 6:00 pm. Tillamook County Clerk, Tassi O’Neil, will be swearing in the newly elected City officials. David noted that it is a real honor to have the head of county elections on hand for this ceremony. Attendance in the Community Hall is limited, but everyone is welcome to dial in as well. (Dial in information is always included on the agenda, which is on the

County Cultural Coalition (TCCC) selects projects to receive funding in the following areas: education, community arts, heritage, environment, and traditions. How fortunate we are to have TCCC to ensure that our cultural resources receive the support they need. TCCC is currently looking for additional Board members for 2021 who are aligned with the Oregon Cultural Trust and TCCC missions to enhance local arts, heritage and humanities in Tillamook County. On Monday, January 4th, Gregg Sweeney, Kin, and myself met Helen Wright at city hall to fill disaster preparedness packets. These are then given to neighborhood captains and city hall for distribution. The goal of the committee is to get a packet into the hands of every city resident. We never know when a disaster will happen, and we want you to be ready. Our next meeting is Monday, January 18th at 6:00 PM in city hall. You do not have to be a neighborhood captain to receive a packet or participate in the meeting. The Bay City Arts Center is very much the hub of our community. They provide outreach, education, and community meeting space, not only for the Bay City residents and visitors, but all of Tillamook County. Many people do not know that the Arts Center also operates a radio station. I will bring more information about the station next week in the Fencepost. In the meantime, if you wish to become a member and receive discounts to BCAC sponsored events, member newsletters, and weekly event updates, contact the office at

(503)377-9270. When I committed myself to writing the Fencepost, I knew my first priority was to bring the news of Bay City the “What’s happening in our town”. But I also saw it as an opportunity to honor citizens, and especially seniors who were part of it’s history, by writing about how they used their time and talents to shape our community. Once our seniors are gone, all that is left is the official record, and you know that their lives were so much more. From their stories we can gain insight into their characters, values, and personalities. When I listened to Pat Patterson, Debbie Averill Downie, Bub Simmons, and others, I knew there was more to their stories than I could write in the Fencepost, but they all had one thing in common – they were valuable, contributing members to the Bay City community. Bay City is known as “The Pearl of Tillamook Bay”; and it is because the people of this community are as valuable as rare pearls. Thank you for reading the Fencepost, and I’ll see you next week. P.S. This month watch for my interview and story about Billy Schriver.

But the most interesting sight of all was a flock of pink plastic flamingos strewn across a neighbor’s yard like a handful of confetti! As for the beach, southerly winds had swept it clean. The only thing I found was a nice cloth facemask with round ear cording on the access path to the beach. I’m looking forward to the day when facemasks are no longer a regular beachcombing find on the Cape Meares seashore.

NKN School District hopes for School-Based Health Center able in the high school, part of which is near the entrance to the school, allowing easy access to families and community members for community health events. Neah-Kah-Nie School District Superintendent Paul Erlebach said the school district received the competitive grant last year. Gail Nelson, CEO of Rinehart Clinic, had experience with a health-based center in a previous job and helped write the grant. Last year was Phase 1 of the project, this year is Phase 2, and Phase 3 will be completed next year. The school district had to complete a needs assessment the first year of the grant, during Phase 1, Erlebach said. “We talked with students, parents and staff and determined there was a need,” Erlebach said. “We looked at all locations throughout the district to find out where the best locations would be and where we could serve the most students.” Erlebach said he has been to three School-Based Health Centers, which helped him understand the purpose of what the center does: improve access to health for all students. Not

Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer Neah-Kah-Nie School District was one of 11 school districts to receive an Oregon School-Based Health Center Grant. This the second year of the grant. The school district hopes for the center to be open by the beginning of next school year. According to Oregon Health Authority, School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are a unique health care model for comprehensive physical, mental and preventative health services provided to youth and adolescents either within a school or on school property. Each health center is staffed by a primary care professional who may be a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant, other medical or mental health professionals and support staff, such as a receptionist. The future site of the health center would be Neah-Kah-Nie High School, which is co-located with Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School on a shared campus. The center would be available for all five schools in the district and would be centrally located. There is space avail-

every student’s parents can take students to the doctor. The School-Based Health Center needs a medical sponsor. This sponsor provides the health service, while the school district provides the location. The sponsor also develops specific billing policies and practices, said Jonathan Modie, lead communications officer for Oregon Health Authority. “No student will be turned away for lack of ability to pay,” Modie said. “Oregoncertified SBHCs are required to bill Medicaid, and most will also bill private insurers if the student has insurance.” Types of services provided by SBHCs include well-child exams; sick visits; minor injury treatment; vision, dental and other health screenings; immunizations; substance use disorder screening and assessment; mental health counseling; reproductive health services; prevention and wellness messaging; and health-related classroom presentations. Phase 2 of the project is a grant used for renovation purposes and construction projects. Some office space will be renovated at the high school. “Primarily, we need a recep-

make decisions in the construction planning process. The committee includes students, staff, school board members and others. The advisory committee would also develop a mission statement, a timeline, and make necessary decisions. They may also seek additional funding.

CHAMBER CHATTER

BY DAVE COVERLY

Recap: 2020 wasn’t all bad Justin Aufdermauer Executive Director

I

’m sure many of us would rather just put 2020 behind us by now as, ultimately, an epic fail. And, in many ways it was. But for the Chamber it was perhaps busier than ever, and while things were canceled left and right, people were sent home to work, and schools were closed, we were able to take a bad situation and make an incredibly positive impact on our community. Here’s some of the highlights we accomplished in 2020: Tillamook Farmers Market: 2020 was actually a banner year for the Tillamook Farmers Market, as it was the 20th anniversary. We didn’t get to properly acknowledge this milestone thanks to the pandemic, but we still had a successful season. Sales were up significantly for our farmers especially as people focused on planting victory gardens and found the outdoor shopping experience safer than the grocery store. We had to adapt to COVID regulations but overall the market resembled some normalcy for people, which was greatly appreciated. Covid Business Resources: From March on, it seemed like things were changing by the day, if not by the minute. We’ve worked diligently to stay on top of the information as it comes from the state and feds and filter it to our business community in a way that clearly showcases what impacts them and their business. Additionally, we distributed over $30,000 in Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) at no-cost to local small businesses. June Dairy Parade: Inside Out: In the midst of closures our team rallied around a vision to keep the June Dairy Parade alive, and instead offer it in a way that would be safe for the community and safe for the parade participants.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I support fee on short term rentals

I am writing in support of Ordinance 86 passed recently by the Tillamook County Commissioners to collect a quarterly fee on short term rental owners to support workforce housing. I am a short-term rental owner. I’ve lived in North County for over 40 years and during those years have started and worked at a number of community-based non-profits both as staff and volunteer. Similar to many I have also pieced together an income from various forms of selfemployment. None of this

work has provided anything for me to live on in these, my later years. Thus the good income from the vacation rental I own is the bulk of my retirement income. And it does indeed take a house out of the reach of folks who live and work here. The data shows that this is true of other such vacation rentals. While I don’t like the idea of paying an additional fee (and don’t look forward to the hassle of additional quarterly reporting), I do like the idea of a tax supporting housing for folks who live and work here. In fact, it is an issue I’ve long been passionately active on behalf of over the years. I’m pleased that the ordinance pro-

vides for 75% of the revenues to go towards housing. The other 25% goes to enhancing law enforcement necessitated by the visitors to our community. These visitors are a vital resource and their stays here are enhanced by the quality of our communities and our care for each other within our communities. I am happy to do my share. And I hope other jurisdictions will do the same. I thank the County Commissioners and the Housing Commission for their continuing efforts to ease challenges of housing shortages. Lane deMoll Nehalem

Results from our online poll:

up with the Inside Out Parade, where parade “floats” stayed stationary and the audience drove through the route. It was a logistical nightmare, but we knew if we pulled it off it could be a great event for our community during a summer where things were being canceled left and right. While I hope we never have to do it again, I heard from many people who thoroughly enjoyed the parade in this new format and asked that we do it again next year. It was a glimmer of hope during an otherwise bleak summer. Tillamook Takeout: Probably one of my personal favorite accomplishments of 2020 was the Tillamook Takeout campaign. We started this in early March just as restaurants were being shut down by the Governor’s Executive Order. The goal was simple: get people to support our restaurants by ordering takeout. We threw together a quick plan and received immediate funding from Visit Tillamook Coast to offer weekly giveaways to folks who got take-out and used #TillamookTakeout on their social media. We created a Facebook group to track takeout entries, that has more than 4,200 members and is still actively supporting restaurants. Fast forward to the second shutdown this December, we knew we had to make another run at and hit it hard, and thanks to sponsorship from the Tillamook County Creamery Association we were able to do just that. We knew from the get go that Tillamook

Takeout had the ability to be successful, but we were overwhelmed by the impact this had on our restaurant community with more than $3 million dollars generated through takeout orders. We hired new staff: In 2020 we brought on a new Programs & Events Manager, Ashley Christenson, and a new Communications Manager, Ashley Rushing. Yes, it does get complicated around here with two Ashleys, but we are really benefiting from their fresh eyes, positive attitudes, and artistic perspectives on our projects and programs. Together they have revamped Sip + Shop and turned it into a cohesive downtown event, even through COVID, and launched a new familyfriendly downtown event: Treats + Sweets. #WereStillOpen: Through some grant dollars from Visit Tillamook Coast, we were able to produce a video for our downtown retail community reminding residents - and visitors - that we were still open for business. Stay tuned as we expand on this idea for 2021. Shop Small Sweepstakes: For one final blow to 2020’s efforts to ruin everything we ended the year with the Shop Small Sweepstakes. This year we expanded the sweepstakes to all locally-owned businesses in Tillamook County and for community safety we added an extremely popular text entry option. With video highlights of businesses and many more entries, we ended 2020 with an extremely successful sweepstakes sponsored by US Bank. It was a stressful year no question about that - but overall, I was incredibly thankful for my board, staff, and our Chamber members for their willingness to fight for our business community. We will come out of this stronger, and I am just blessed to be a part of it. So take that, 2020. virus cannot cause a disease, nor can many fragments of a virus cause a disease. The PCR test just picks out a tiny fragment of the supposed virus, not necessarily from the covid-virus, but could be any cold or flu virus fragment since these viruses exchange nucleotides promiscuously and rapidly. Cases can be determined by the number of cycles - the more cycles the more positive cases so the number of cases can be programed : want more excuses to keep the lockdown going? Run more cycles of the test. Want to decrease the number of positive cases? Run less cycles of the test. Easy

TALES FROM THE LIBRARY Bill Landau Extension Librarian Tillamook County Library

L

ast week we talked about bettering yourself with some selfimprovement books sure to soothe your body and soul, liven up your kitchen, recharge your batteries, and increase productivity. This week, I will share some titles to go along with that theme. All these books are available from your Tillamook County Library. The Art of Showing Up – How to Be There for Yourself and Your People, by Rachel Wilkerson Miller.

n Letters Continued from Page 5 Peasy! And main stream media? just keeps making fiction! and censoring the truth.So I say - lets base the lockdown on death rates, which so far in all parts of the world amount to no more than a bad flu season or a normal flu season. I also say that Oregon citizens need to establish a fund to hire attorneys to protect their civil rights from government abuse. Dixie Gainer Nehalem

Clarification to last week’s thank you for Bill Baertlein letter Thank you for putting my letter of thanks for Bill Baertlein’s eight years of serving Tillamook County in last week’s Headlight Herald. However, I need to have one important correction on the letter submitted. I submitted it as a private citizen

If COVID has shown us anything, maybe it is that the core of creating and maintaining strong, meaningful bonds with other people is the very thing that will get us through tough times. Too often, the tyranny of the urgent in life pulls us away from our priorities. This book helps put it all in perspective and lets us know that nothing will happen unless we make a conscious effort to “show up”. The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Unforgivable, by Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt. One of the most difficult challenges in life is learning how and did not intend for the agency of Tillamook County Transportation District to be added under my name, as I meant it from myself as a citizen, (Jim Huffman). The document I submitted that was a typed article did not have the agency name included. That was an error when the article was published. I simply have appreciated Bill’s unique accomplishments to the public. I am also pleased in the New Year to find out now that in 2021 the very informative morning weekly radio program that he and the Commissioners established throughout 2020 will now continue each week to keep public informed to make 2021 a happier New Year where we can all stay more informed about important issues from the Governor’s office all the way down to the cities and special districts who serve the public. Citizen involvement and communication is a wonderful process that does not always get to happen in an open forum. So I also want to add a big “Thank you” for all the Commissioners for continuing to

to forgive. This book is filled with life lessons from real people, both famous and unknown, who have changed their life by understanding what it is to truly forgive. The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs, by Tristan Gooley. The subtitle of this book goes on to say it will serve us citizens during very difficult times. Jim Huffman Tillamook

Facebook returns to Tierra Del mar and violates conditional waiver Crews returned to Facebook’s shoreline drilling site at Tierra Der Mar and immediately ran into more trouble. Within 48 hours of returning, County Planning officials determined Facebook was not in compliance with the conditional approval permitting the drilling project in the residential neighborhood. Further, in an email message dated January 4, 2021, Facebook admitted there was activity on the site during the weekend, yet another violation of the County’s conditional approval. Nevertheless, County officials and OPRD, which has oversight responsibilities for the public beach, are continuing to approve Facebook’s return. Facebook’s drilling project in Tierra Del Mar has incurred a series of setbacks. Last

help you use outdoor clues to find your way, predict the weather, locate water, track animals, and master other forgotten skills. Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead, by Brené Brown. If you have read any other of Brené’s books or watched her TED Talks, you know she always offers a powerful, progressive vision aimed to help others enhance their relationships in schools, businesses, families, and communities. This book concentrates on how vulnerability can actually be a path to success. Yoga After 50 for Dum-

mies, by Larry Payne. OK, so I am not a fan of the concept of labeling thousands of selfhelp book as being suitable “for dummies”. But once I got used to the idea that the phrase is used tongue-incheek, I can better appreciate the clear and concise way they are written, to appeal to those who are beginners. This book is especially useful to educate novice Boomers who have decided yoga might be worth learning about. Mindful Beauty: Holistic Habits to Feel and Look Your Best, by Dr. Debbie Palmer. Today, more than ever, mindfulness (the act of being more present and focused in everything we do), is so important

to our well-being. Modern Comfort Food: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, by Ina Garten. Recipes include cheddar and chutney grilled cheese sandwiches, smashed hamburgers with caramelized onions, and cheesy chicken enchiladas. Enough said! My mouth watered just typing those words! That should get your started on your path toward a “better you” in 2021! If you need help reserving these or any other books or DVDs, just give us a call at 503-8424792. We’ll be happy to help you jump start your new year with inspirational books!

March a large “sound curtain” blew down in a wind storm as it had not been properly secured for the elements on the coast. In April Facebook broke an undersea drill and Facebook ended up abandoning industrial trash under the sea floor. Facebook delayed notifying State authorities of this event until June and was later fined by the State for this incident. Facebook was also required to conduct detailed underwater mapping, something that probably should have been required before the County approved the conditional waiver for the controversial project at Tierra Del Mar. Facebook’s crew has now been seen attempting to rebuild the “sound curtain” as the wind gusts exceeded 20 mph. See the attached photos. Large drilling machinery will soon be moved onto the site and Facebook will try again to the complete the complicated project that failed in 2020.

We will not have our regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 5, 2021. However, your chamber is hard at work for 2021. We will continue regular monthly meetings, via Zoom for now, beginning Tuesday, February 2. We hope to bring programs of interest and benefit to all of South Tillamook County including a visit with the county’s new library director, Geri Godber; discussions with health authorities; a visit with the new South County Destination Manager, Brook Wintergreen; a continuing conversation about beach access, parking and vehicles on the beach; a visit with our new sheriff, Josh Brown; updates from the Oregon Legislature; a conversation with our new county commissioner, Erin Skaar; a program and discussion about banking and internet fraud and protections for your business; and much, much more. Program details and a link to Zoom will follow. Here are some of the projects we are working on for 2021. 1. We will soon have chamber officers and board in place for 2021. 2. Your chamber will announce the recipients of our annual awards for 2020: Volunteer of the Year, Business of the Year and Citizen of the Year. 3. There will NOT be a Birding & Blues event for spring 2021. Simply too much uncertainty and not

enough time to put it all together, including speakers from out of the area. Bigger and better in 2022 we all hope! 4. Along with others in our community including the Dorymen’s Association, we are planning for both the traditional Clover’s Day and Dory Days events. While there are many unknowns, we hope to have the long-time events one way or another. Stay tuned. 5. Your chamber has moved its office to the Kiawanda Community Center. We’ll be open for business when the KCC is able to open to the public with normal hours. We’re also working on purchasing a new state of the art sound and video system for the KCC to be available to all users of the KCC facility. 6. The fireworks contract is in place for July 4 and the deposit has been paid. Look for a huge display on the beach on July 4, 2021. 7. Your chamber is working with Sally Rissel and others on improvements to Cloverdale. Sally is heading a group working with the Tillamook County Historical Society to add signage and other significant additions to Cloverdale. As some of you may recall, your chamber pays the monthly cost of streetlights in both Cloverdale and Hebo. Stay tuned for more information on those communities as well.

OHA will be working with health care providers, pharmacies, and local public health partners to streamline the distribution process to achieve that goal. “This is an all-handson-deck effort, and I have directed OHA to partner as widely as possible to ensure we are using all available resources to ramp up Oregon’s vaccinations rapidly.”

Oregon commercial crab fishery opens December 16 south of Cape Falcon

Fresh Oregon crab is back on the menu – the commercial Dungeness crab fishery will open on most of Oregon’s coast as of Dec. 16, 2020. Dungeness crab will be ready to be harvested just in time for the holidays from Cape Falcon south to the California border. Prior to the opener, crab vessels will set gear from Dec. 13 onwards, using the “pre-soak” period of time to set gear in anticipation of the first pull of ocean crab pots on Dec. 16.

T

hanksgiving morning Scott took his final breath at home with his wife Connie Joe Dunlap, Son Scott Dunlap Jr, Daughters Melissa Gaston-Thompson, and Shylla Gaston-Walsh, Niece Shannon Dunlap- Pullen, and Grandson Dylan Dunlap. The Loving heart that Scott shared with each and every person he knew was given to him from his Mother Eula M Dunlap and Father Earl W Dunlap. Together they raised three of the most amazing Loving children, Jeffrey Scott Dunlap, Jimmy M Dunlap, and Sara M Alvstad. Scott is watching over all of us with his brother Jimmy, Mom and Dad, and many other Family and Friends. Though he knew it would be hard all he wanted was for his Loved Ones to keep smiling even when we could no longer see his Loving smile he shared with all of us. Scott leaves behind his wife Connie Joe Dunlap, Sister Sara May, and Brother Ion-law Glann Alvstad. Children Virginia Klus, Angela Pontarolo, Scott Dunlap Jr, Melissa Gaston-Thompson, Shylla Gaston-Walsh, along with his Grandchildren, Nieces, Nephews, and everyone who he shared his Loving heart with thru out his life. The family will be having a celebration of Life on July 4th, 2021 on the beach in Manzanita Scott Dunlap asks that we all come together and share the Love he gave to all of our Hearts.

If tomorrow starts without me, Keep Smiling When tomorrow starts without me and I am not there to see, If the Sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you Love me as much as I Love you and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above, and I would have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye. For all my life I’d always thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the Love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday just even for a while, I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But than I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. When I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked thru heavens gates, I felt so much at home when God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne, He said this is eternity and all I’ve promised you. Today your life on earth has past, here life starts anew I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last and since each day’s the same there’s no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do. You have been forgiven, and now at last your free. So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts with out me, don’t think were far apart for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

Todd Gregory Anderson 1961- Dec. 28, 2020

​T

odd Gregory Anderson (Uncle Buck, My Sheriff) passed away on December 28, 2020, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon, the same hospital where he was born. Todd, at 59, had recently overcome stage 4 cancer and heart issues, but complications from a brief illness led to his death. Todd was raised in Forest Grove, Hillsboro and Buxton

by his parents, Vernon E. and Margaret S. Anderson. He attended Brookwood and W L Henry grade schools in Hillsboro and graduated from Banks High School. Todd also took college level course work from several community colleges. Todd never married, but dedicated his life to his vocation and his huge family, which included many close friends, coworkers and brothers and sisters in law enforcement. He lived his life large, traveling extensively for work and play. Todd began his career with the Washington County Sheriffs Office, where he was first an explorer, then a dispatcher and when he turned 21 he became a corrections officer and reserve deputy. In 1985 Todd was sworn in as a Rockaway Beach Police Officer beforetransitioning over to the Tillamook County Sheriffs Office in 1986. He worked his way through the ranks as a patrol deputy, narcotics detective, sergeant, lieutenant and then was elected sheriff for three terms. Once retiring from

TCSO, Todd was selected as theTraining Division Director for the DPSST (Department of Public Safety, Standards and Training) where he mentored trainers and new police and fire personnel at the required state academy. He spent fortyseven months in this position before retiring again and moving to Lake Havasu, AZ, for several years. Todd was a “solid cop,” a strong leader, reliable, ethical, supportive and was known for building strong relationships with coworkers and other agencies in both law enforcement and various levels of state government. He genuinely loved people as much as he loved being a cop. Todd was outstanding as a politician, having a great sense of humor, amazing stories, a notable calmness and the ability to disarm those who were upset and put them at ease. He worked behind the scenes, mentoring, assisting others, providing resources, yet avoiding the lime light. Todd was preceded in death by his parents, Vern and Margaret Anderson and

his oldest brother Craig. He is survived by a brother, Dirk Anderson (Moe), his nephews Ian Anderson (Natalie), Kaleb Anderson (Rachel), Anthony Anderson (Emily-children Kayne and Camdyn), cousin Julie Anderson (daughter Shelby) and Gail Sutton. Todd will always be cherished by his family, including close friends that are considered family. He earned the nickname “Uncle Buck” after being tasked to watch his nephews who were in their early teens, allowing them to stay up into the early morning hours playing poker, drinking energy drinks and eating unlimited candy. ​There will be a small private family service followed by a Celebration of Life when Covid restrictions are lifted. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be sent to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Chaplains. Todd had assisted in their formation, helped raise funds was a member of the board. NCCC, PO Box 426, Garibaldi, OR 97118-0426

Tillamook County Creamery Association and Visit Tillamook Coast award $200,000 in marketing grants to 16 tourism-related businesses Collaborative efforts will help nearly 90 businesses recover and thrive in 2021 Tillamook, Oregon. Like no other year, 2020 was hard on many tourismrelated businesses. Lodging closed for nearly three months, restaurants were forced multiple times into takeout only or very limited capacity, small commercial fisheries and farms lost as much as 75% of their customer base, and retail went online or curbside service only. The economic impact to these industry sectors was

significant. That’s when the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) reached out to Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (Visit Tillamook Coast), offering assistance to local businesses with a $100,000 match for the grant round of $100,000 that the tourism organization offers each year. “TCCA’s Hometown Resilience Fund has been so generous in so many ways, providing financial support and product donations to organizations in Tillamook County to help our businesses, nonprofits and social services,” said Nan Devlin, executive director of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA). “This match to our annual marketing grant meant we could more fully help businesses recover and thrive in 2021.” The Marketing Renewal Grant encouraged applicants to collaborate with other businesses on marketing efforts in 2021. Applicants submitted impact

statements on how COVID had affected their businesses, and what they were doing to recover and sustain. A marketing plan with goals, tactics and metrics, as well as a realistic budget, were also required in the submission. This helped the reviewers, the board of directors of TCVA, to score and rank submissions and make recommendations for funding. Of the 16 grant applicants/recipients, all are collaborating with local tourism-related businesses, bringing the impact of the marketing grants to nearly 90 businesses in Tillamook County. The recipients include: Blue Siren Shellfish, Offshore Grill, Oregon Coastal Flowers, Garibaldi Portside Bistro, Garibaldi Maritime Museum, Kayak Tillamook, The Winery at Manzanita, North Fork 53, Ocean Inn, Oregon Beach Ceremonies, Nehalem Bay Winery, Garibaldi Charters, Wild Manzanita, Oregon Coast Today, Lucky Beach Boutique, and Tillamook Chamber of Commerce. The list of projects can be viewed at tillamookcoast. com/industry For more information about the grants, contact Amy Blackburn, Director of Finance and Grant Administration at amy@tillamookcoast.com For more information about Tillamook Coast Visitors Association programs, contact Nan Devlin at nan@

n Crab Continued from Page 8 Oregon coast. The area north of Cape Falcon will remain closed to commercial crabbing to coordinate an orderly start with the Washington coastal Dungeness crab fishery. Results from recent domoic acid testing of crab viscera (guts) conducted by the state of Washington were elevated, and Washington delayed their coastal fishery until further testing is conducted.

Our staff provides caring, professional assistance for a wide range of personal and family needs. why you did not show up can be the motivation to not blowing off healthy choices. It also gives you a group of people that validate that you are worth making these healthy choices. Sometimes it is hard to change habits surrounded by individuals and cues that try and may want to keep them in place whether intentional or not. One fortunate thing about all the changes we have seen in the last year is how creative people have become with connecting. For example, the Tillamook YMCA is now offering live virtual classes, a video library of classes, and in-person classes streamed live. Go to tillamookymca. org to learn more. Free to the public classes like Tai Chi, Enhancefitness and Qi Gong are on the Tillamook YMCA YouTube. There is also the “Live Well” National Diabetes Prevention Program delivered virtually online by a live coach and in-person (when COVID-19 restrictions allow). This program is a yearlong program taught by a Lifestyle Coach. I have watched so many Tillamook County residents transform their lives with this program. - 4 (9 inch) flour tortillas Directions 1.

e have had such a bizarre year. I have found myself often slipping into thinking that I will get into a routine once things get back to normal – especially during the first lockdown in March. At first like many of us, a quiet week seemed somewhat nice. A chance to catch up with projects that I found myself too busy in the old normal life to tackle. I soon realized that slight depression had set in. We are so fortunate to live on the beautiful Oregon Coast. I felt guilty leaving my computer to get outside but then realized it was necessary for my mental wellbeing. I began going to Oceanside every day for a run and joined the Facebook pages COVID Runners and DairyAir Runners. It was very helpful to see pictures of others getting out, enjoying the fresh air, and keeping track of their runs. It also was fun to share what I was doing. I felt like we were all helping each other out. Having a group that can help hold you accountable as well as share the difficulties of having a goal and reaching it is so important. As a personal trainer and National Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Coach that has seen and tried so many quick fixes, this connection is the key element. With a group, we can observe our barriers, maybe even get a chuckle out of the silly things that hold us back or share some painful life experiences that start unhealthy habits. A group also helps you revisit your goal so that it does not slip out of being a priority to you. Knowing that people are going to wonder

DON’T YOU WANT TO TAKE ME HOME? Mya is a friendly, sweet natured gal that enjoys all humans. She craves petting of her silky soft fur. Strings and a fuzzy ball are her favorite toys. She has great manners and tends to stay on the ground rather than jump on furniture. If any food is left unattended, she will take advantage of that scenario. She enjoys being held but isn’t acclimated to a lap yet. Previously an outdoor only cat she can be timid of the strange noises a home makes. She is curious about it and likely will do fine with positive reinforcement from her person. Heaters turning on, TV, etc. are new to her. Mya may be best suited in a home with cat savvy children over 12 years old, if any, as she likes to play with hands, all be it very gently. Mya would thrive in a home with a small catio or cat proof window enclosure so she can continue life with some fresh air and outdoor stimulation. She is not to be adopted as a barn cat or outdoor only. Mya is a young 8-12 month old cat currently nursing 7 kittens. She showed up at a Netarts home and was given a warm spot in a locals garage where she had 7 kittens within the week. Here’s the online adoption app if you’re interested. https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/online-adoption-application/ Adoption fees range from $75-100. United Paws is not a shelter, and most of our cats and kittens are in foster homes getting ready to be in your home! Visit our facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/unitedpaws. Watch for adoption events held in Tillamook, and Petsmart on 185th in Hillsboro.
