USACE preparing for south jetty repair WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

embers of the United States Army Corps of Engineers are preparing to offer technical assistance during the twoyear, $52.7-million repair of Tillamook Bay’s south jetty by Trade West Construction Company. Project Manager Matt Craig and Project Engineer Colter Bennett recently gave the Headlight Herald an exclusive tour of the project site and discussed the project and its impacts on recreation at Bayocean Peninsula Park. Craig and Bennett said that the purpose of the repair project is to reinforce the root section of the jetty near the shore and repair around 490 feet at the jetty’s end, which will include the addition of a new 150-foot head. They said that the project’s goal is to restore the jetty’s functionality and that it will not have a significant impact on the navigability of the bar, stressing that those improvements could only be accomplished by dredging. The repair project is being funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that was passed SEE SOUTH JETTY PAGE A2

or more than three decades the Tillamook High School Alumni Scholarship Fund has supported graduates of Tillamook High as they pursue higher education. The current board overseeing the program is growing long in the tooth and is actively seeking younger graduates to ensure the fund’s continued success. “It’s a great, great thing and it’s an opportunity for me that I like it because I grew up here, born and raised, and this community gave me so much as a child,” said board member Bob Miles. The scholarship fund handed out its first award of $500 in 1992 and has awarded over $250,000 to more than 120 students in its history. The fund was founded by members of the classes of 1941, 1942 and 1943 who were having a combined 50th reunion that year and wanted to choose a way to collectively give back to Tillamook High School students. The group pondered the idea of a plaque at the high school but then “somebody came up with the idea, ‘well, why don’t we give the kids a scholarship,’” said board member Debbi Reeves. The scholarship fund was started with donations from that reunion and has continued to receive money from reunion donations throughout its existence. The fund does not host any fundraisers or other events, only raising money through contributions, with particular support coming from the estates of THS graduates. In its early years, the scholarship was awarded to one or two graduates who were bound for a four-year university in Oregon, but over the years both its scope and inclusivity have expanded.

Today, the scholarship is awarded to six or seven people annually, and can be used by students in four-year universities, community colleges or trade schools. “Our criteria were a lot more tight and then as the years progressed, we progressed,” Reeves said, “because we wanted to include more of the students that were trying to get out there and get a job.” The $3,000 scholarship is available to graduating seniors as well as anybody who graduated from Tillamook High School in past years and wants to return to school. Current students are required to have a 3.0 GPA at THS, and the selection process focuses on giving needy students who might not otherwise receive scholarships support to be able to pursue their educational goals. “It’s those kids that are just down, just a little below the valedictorian and salutatorian, that they’re the ones that really need a little bit of extra help,” said Reeves. “So that need is where we go back to each time.” Applications are due in December and scholarship recipients are selected by a search committee during the spring of their senior year or preceding their enrollment in secondary education. Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA in their first semester at their new school to remain eligible for scholarship funds, which are SEE THS ALUMNI FUND PAGE A9

oug Olson was selected in October by Tillamook County Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and Erin Skaar to complete the final year of Commissioner David Yamamoto’s term following his retirement at the end of this year. Olson recently sat down with the Headlight Herald to discuss his background, philosophy as an appointed commissioner and plans for after his tenure, among other subjects. Olson said that he will not bring an agenda to the office and instead rely on his judgment to address issues that come up. “I don’t have an agenda that says I’m going to introduce this or I want to do that, I want to change this or modify that, I don’t have that,” Olson said. “I will deal with whatever comes along and use my background and experience to say, ‘well, this sounds great to me,’ or, ‘have you thought about this?’ or, ‘this doesn’t make sense to me.’” Olson brings a breadth of experience to the position after a long life working in both the private and public sector, owning small businesses and volunteering and winning election to the boards of numerous charitable and civic organizations across the county. Olson was born in Hood River, and experienced a childhood beset by difficulties, with his father dying when Olson was four and his mother passing when he was 11. His grandparents took him

in for several years before their own infirmity forced them into an assisted living when he was a sophomore in high school. Three different families in the Mormon community took him in for a year apiece during his final high school

years. “That’s probably why I’m so darned independent, I’ve quite literally been on my own for a very long time,” Olson said. After graduating high school, SEE OLSON PAGE A9

Once the project is complete, the jetty will be around 7900 feet in length, although there will still be a section of around 500-feet submerged after engineers determined the shorter length was sufficient to achieve the jetty’s purpose.

At that staging area, they will be weighed to determine their value for reimbursement to the supplier before being taken for placement on the jetty. The repairs near the root will utilize relatively smaller stones, while the largest will be used further out. Repairs to the trunk of the jetty will add around 340 feet of stone and a bull-nose shaped head at the end. The

Bennett, Craig and John Morgan, a public affairs specialist, stressed that the corps could not undertake dredging work at Tillamook Bar with current conditions and restrictions. The bar at Tillamook Bay is just over 18 feet beneath the surface, failing to meet the corps’ 18-foot-or-less requirement for dredging projects. Tillamook Bay’s designation as self-scouring also prevents the corps from doing maintenance work to the channel between the jetties that continues to the Port of Garibaldi.

Cape Meares Loop Road opens to public

The view of the newly opened road from the soon-to-be-complete viewpoint overlooking Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge. WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

he new, 1.7-mile section of Cape Meares Loop Road crossing the ridge between the communities of Oceanside and Cape Meares opened to

the public on November 21. The project, which cost $22 million, reconnected the communities, giving each a new emergency egress option, and reconnected the Three Capes Scenic Route. Work on the project began in 2022, with the removal of

280,000 cubic yards of dirt, the construction of retaining walls and grading work undertaken that year. The rest of the grading, construction of a 40-foot-tall section of geofoam fill connecting the sections of the road and road construction took place this

year, with the final guard rail installed on November 20, making the road ready for public use. Cape Meares Loop Road’s old alignment on the west side of the ridge was knocked out of service by a landslide in 2013, one of a series that

occurred throughout the 2000s and 2010s. Design work on a new alignment traversing the east side of the ridge began in 2015 and lasted until the construction began last year. The new alignment runs from a stop sign just north

of the quarry on Bayshore Drive, up a series of switchbacks to the crest of the ridge, over the geofoam fill and then descends to reconnect with Bayshore Drive before dead ending into Bayocean Road at a new, three-way stop sign. Grades on the road reach up to 12% and there are gates at both ends to allow the Tillamook Public Works Department to close the section during icy and snowy weather. Some work remains to be done on the project, most notably the completion of a scenic viewpoint on the south section of road that will offer commanding views of the Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge. Funding for the project came from Federal Land Access Program grants, which contributed 90% of the $22 million budget with the remainder coming from the county. Those grants are available to projects that open access to federal lands, with Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge qualifying the project for the grant. The new road grants northern access to the refuge in addition to connecting the communities and recompleting the Three Capes Scenic Route circuit. SEE CAPE MEARES LOOP PAGE A4

Madeline’s Vintage Marketplace celebrates 10 years in business

Jennifer Robitsch, owner of Madeline’s Vintage Marketplace, celebrated ten years in business this black Friday.

en years ago, Jennifer Robitsch was setting up a booth at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds Holiday Bazaar with a couple friends. Between unloading pieces of her upcycled furniture and unique found items, the idea of having a storefront formed. Within two weeks, Robitsch and two business partners were opening “Madeline’s Vintage Marketplace.” “Madeline was a name that I felt evoked a certain feeling,” Robitsch said. “In my mind, she’s vintage, French, Audrey Hepburn-esque. It gave off the vibe I wanted to have in the store.” Their first location, located next door to the former Fat Dog Pizza, opened on Black Friday 2013. Robitsch recalls the store being long and narrow, and filled with their vintage-inspired pieces. Within six months, the business outgrew the space. “We were looking for a larger space almost immediately,” Robitsch recalls. A space became available adjacent to the former Blue Moon Café on Second Street. Madeline’s would spend the next year and half in that location, before moving to their current home on Third Street in 2015. “There was a lot of work done to this space,” Robitsch said looking around. “The drop ceiling was removed, we installed shelving, and added stenciled brick walls.” With Robitsch’s vision, the storefront was brought to life. She stocked the shop with items reflective of her

style and vision, along with trending items. In addition to her upcycled furniture and found home goods, a curated collection of wholesale goods was brought in to complete the space’s aesthetic. “I’m very particular about a look,” Robitsch said of the products she sources. “It needs to be vintage, modern farmhouse.” Shoppers can find just about anything in the store from shabby chic furnishings to rustic décor, antique furniture, collectibles, jewelry, clothing, books, kid’s items and seasonal décor. Robitsch also keeps a running “wish list” of décor and pieces of furniture guests are looking for. “Some pieces over the years are a piece of my heart, but I didn’t have room for it in my home,” she said. “But it made it better that I knew it was going to a good home and going to be treasured.” With the upcoming holidays, Robitsch has brought in ornaments, garlands, mugs, cheeky holiday-themed tea towels and napkins, a variety of nativity scenes, Christmas cards, miniature houses, bottle brush trees, nutcrackers and felted mice. Robitsch also stocks the

shop with products from individual vendors yearround. “I buy from locals as much as I can and support my local vendors,” Robitsch said. “Small businesses are helping keep our economy strong here in Tillamook and then I pass it forward. If I need some new clothes, I got to West Elliot. If I need my hair done, I go to Shear Bliss.” In addition to supporting local vendors and other businesses, Robitsch is also a staple at downtown events participating regularly in Sip+Shop evenings, Cork & Brew, and Sweets and Treats. She also donates gift baskets to local fundraisers and organizations including Tillamook High School’s Charity Drive, the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, Little Titans, Oregon Coast Children’s Theater, SAFE, YMCA, and Tillamook Rotary. “It’s about giving back to the community. I just love our small town,” she said. “It gets my name out there as some people still don’t know that this store exists.” Robitsch is also a member of the newly formed “Grinch Gang:” a group of downtown business owners who are

working to cohesively decorate the downtown Tillamook area. The group recently received a $3,300 grant from Tillamook Revitalization Association. The funds were used to purchase Christmas lights and garland to decorate business windows and light poles. “It serves all of us: for the locals to enjoy as well as encourages the tourists to stop and visit and spend their money here,” Robitsch said. “We all try to do as much as we can in the community.” Her commitment to the business community earned Robitsch and Madeline’s Vintage Marketplace the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Award in 2019. Robitsch said the award was confirmation of the work

she’s doing. Robitsch has worked with several business partners through the years but has been working on her own the last couple. She’s no stranger to the challenges of owning a small business, surviving various location moves and enduring extensive construction to the downtown area. “It’s about all the great people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve created with my guests,” Robitsch said looking back on her years in business. “I like to refer to my patrons as my guests.

Red Tide reunion concert brings 90s alternative rock back to Tillamook

By CHELSEA YARNELL Guest Contributor

ed Tide band members Drew DeRieux, Mike Reeves, and Brandon Affolter all logged onto a recent Zoom call.

“We hardly ever all get together,” Affolter said. But it’s hard to tell. Conversation picks up like they’d all seen each other yesterday. Memories flow. They reminisce about the times they used to play in the

school’s band room. Or when they’d record music in empty apartment units. Or when Brandon was only allowed to walk from the door to the stage at concert venues because he was underaged. The three established

their band “Red Tide” in Tillamook in 1995. DeRieux on guitar and vocals, Reeves on drums and vocals, and Affolter on bass. As classmates, and young teenagers at the time, DeRieux and Affolter were already playing in the Tillamook music scene. One day at a jam session, Reeves showed up. “We were amazed,” DeRieux said of Reeves’ skills. “Drummers were hard to find in the mid-90s. Mike, Brandon and I just gravitated towards each other and it stuck.” By the next get together, the three were the only ones who showed up. “At that point, we had all played with other people who were difficult to play with,” DeRieux recalls. “There’s a reason we all got along so well. There’s wasn’t anything precious about what we were creating. I implicitly trust what Brandon and Mike say.” The three said that music really changed during their formative years as a group, influencing their sound. “We really are a blend of what came out of the grunge movement,” DeRieux said. “Honestly, Mike has this edge that I really like. Hearing him play, we got those idea of a much harder edge in rock. We’re a really great cross of punk/metallic rock.” “It was not cookie-cutter music,” Reeves added. Affolter recalls Guitar World Magazine coming in the mail each month and learning the chords to the latest songs. “I was learning the music before I had even heard the song,” he said. “[Mike and Drew] had so much more experience with music than me. I was taking it in and they were a little more on top of all of it than I was.” While they were influenced

by music of the time, they put their own spin on it. “We weren’t really precise about making it sound like the ‘other guys’ work. We made it sound like Red Tide,” DeRieux said. The three began practicing together in just about any space they could find: band rooms, empty apartments, bonus rooms. “We were fortunate to have a lot of support,” DeRieux said. The trio recalls things going really smoothly between them all. So good that they started performing live. First at the skating rink, then birthday parties and then a student-led dance. “We did an alternative Sadie Hawkins dance,” DeRieux said. “They had us come out to play at this barn on Skyline. We had a massive turnout.” From there, they continued to play gigs and were a staple at the Tillamook County Fair Courtyard Stage for five years from 1996 - 2000. “We took off quick,” Affolter recalled. “We begged them to let us play the first year. They threw us a bone and let us play in the Courtyard on Saturday afternoon. Every year our payment went up a little bit and the last year we actually got paid a normal amount.” By their last Fair performance, the band recalls the crowd being packed. “You can watch the videos of us playing at the Fair through the years,” Affolter said. “There was two or three years that there was no room to walk through.” The band credits their fanbase to their philosophy as a band. “We had such a big following in Tillamook County because we weren’t doing it for money,” Reeves said. “We were doing it because we

enjoyed playing music and enjoyed being around each other. We would do charities concerts. One time we did a benefit concert for a student with leukemia and another time one benefited NeahKah-Nie athletics.” In 1997, Red Tide released their one and only album: “Beautiful Disaster.” “We play some goofy songs too,” DeRieux said. “We never took ourselves too seriously. We even put a song on that album that sounded like a country song.” “It was an ode to the rednecks in our class,” DeRieux said. The last time Red Tide performed together was in 2000, but they never disbanded. Despite careers and relocations, the three have stayed close, even giving their children middle names in honor of each other. After a 2020 reunion concert was canceled due to the pandemic, the band decided it was time for to reschedule and set a performance for November 24 at Bay City Arts Center. The venue was part of the band’s formative years and they decided to donate the proceeds from the one-nightconcert to the center. “I remember they were really excited to play in such a place, mostly just for rehearsal,” Bay City Arts Center Treasurer Charlie Woodridge remembered of Red Tide in the 90s. “I think they were the first music group to play in there because we had just opened. They asked if they could rehearse here and hear their ‘big sound.’ They’ve all continued playing in the last 15-20 years. They sound so strong, so amazing. This is really neat that they get to revisit that. The Arts Center is excited to have their support.” The reunion show was an exciting opportunity for the band to recapture the magic of their younger days, but even in the decades-long hiatus, the group never disbanded. Despite careers and relocations, the three have stayed close, even giving their children middle names in honor of each other. “We never ended, we’re still Red Tide,” Reeves said. “I think about playing with these guys all the time.”

County meetings roundup T

he Tillamook Board of County Commissioners accepted a grant to expand the county’s emergency service offerings in south county and approved a grant for the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay to bolster those offerings in north county on November 2022. Elsewhere during Thanksgiving week, the Garibaldi City Council appointed a new councilor, Tillamook’s city council approved the purchase of a dump truck and hook box, and Tillamook Fire District’s board decided to use a construction manager, general contractor approach for their seismic resiliency upgrade project. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management awarded the count a nonmatching grant of just under $33,000 to purchase Conex containers and emergency supplies for deployment in south Tillamook County. Tillamook County Emergency Management Director Randy Thorpe said that the containers would be the same size as those deployed at the Port of Tillamook Bay this summer and contain generators, sleeping bags, food, water and other supplies. Thorpe said that he is currently working to choose two appropriate locations to station the containers in south county, with the Tillamook People’s Utility District property in Hebo and the county’s Pacific City transfer station identified as possible sites. Commissioners also approved a $20,000 grant to the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay at their meeting to build new emergency supply sheds that will fill largely the same purpose as the Conex containers in north county. The money will also be used by the group to print fliers and other educational materials to increase public awareness of emergency preparedness at the events they attend throughout the year. A contract with Rede Group to complete a rural health development network plan for $30,000, was also approved by the commissioners. After receiving a grant to complete the plan, which will identify shared goals and priorities among health partners in the county to improve healthcare access and outcomes, the county initially tried to hire an employee to work on the plan. However, recruitment efforts did not yield qualified candidates and Health and Human Services Administrator Marlene Putman said that contracting with the Rede Group was the most expedient way to complete the process. On November 20, the Garibaldi City Council appointed Cheryl Gierga to fill the seat left vacant by Katie Findling’s assumption of the mayoralty following Tim Hall’s October

resignation. Tillamook City’s Council approved the purchase of a new Peterbilt dump truck and hook box for a total of just under $304,000. The truck and hook box will allow the city’s public works to transport dump boxes and other equipment and the truck is expected to be delivered in February 2024. The board of directors of the

Tillamook Fire District met on November 21, where it was announced that Allan Burris had resigned his position on the 20th. No reason was given in Burris’s resignation letter and the board now has two vacancies after Allan’s brother and Tillamook Mayor Aaron Burris resigned in October as part of a legal settlement with the district. The board

will consider candidates for the position at a future meeting. The fire district board also approved the implementation of a construction manager/ general contractor (CMGC) management approach for a seismic upgrade project at the district’s main station. The CMGC model sees one firm selected to manage the design and

construction of the project, avoiding the public bidding process usually required for government work and cutting down on costs. Tillamook Fire District received $2.5 million from the state for the project, which will include adding a new roof with seismic resiliency and reinforcing the station’s concrete and engine bays.

OLSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 Henson worked his way through college, starting at Pacific University in Forest Grove, before finishing his studies at Portland State University, graduating with a business degree and a minor in journalism in 1970. Olson started his professional career working for Montgomery Ward in their catalogue house in Portland, managing a department that handled catalogue distribution for, among other things, women’s undergarments. A promotion took Olson and his family to Chicago for several years, but the Pacific Northwesterner found that the cold winters, snow and long commutes didn’t agree with him and started looking to return to the region. A job with May Department Stores in downtown Portland fit the bill, but the 70-hour work weeks also began to wear thin for Olson, whose three young kids were starting to play sports, and he again looked for a new job. The listing for the newly created contracting officer position with the Evergreen School District in Vancouver, Washington, caught Olson’s eye and he applied and worked for the district for several years. While in that position, Olson had his first exposure to public servants who were enthusiastic about their jobs and found purpose in them. “I found that I really enjoyed it because the people there, the teachers and administrators, had a different outlook on life,” Olson said. “It wasn’t all about the bottom line and the dollar, although you’re mindful of your budgets but they wanted to educate the kids and it was a calling.” Olson gained experience working with state legislators and other government entities and contractors in the role with Evergreen School District and in 1984 moved on to become the contracting officer for Washington County. There, he helped to write contracting rules for the county, finance bonds for and build a new county headquarters in downtown Hillsboro and began forming relationships with legislators in Salem. In 1992, Olson’s second wife, Patty, received an early retirement buy out from the United States Postal Service. The couple decided to take advantage of the stability provided by her pension to sell several investment properties they owned and make a major lifestyle change by becoming owner-operators of a small business. The Olsons decided to purchase a motel, and after looking at properties on Mount Hood and the southern OregoncCoast, jumped at the opportunity to purchase a 15-room inn in Pacific City, where Doug had fished for years. The couple assumed ownership of the motel and operated it for 23 years, before selling in 2016. “You can make a living and it’s partly lifestyle and we had the underlying real estate but in 2016 we said, ‘well, you know, we’re getting a little older, time to retire and move on,’” Olson said. Since then, Olson has focused on his volunteer work on elected and appointed committees and boards across the county. Olson was first elected to the Pacific City Water District Board in the 1990s, serving three terms on the board and the board of its successor, the combined Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority. In 2005, Olson was elected to the board of the Tillamook People’s Utility District, a position to which he has been reelected three times and from which he will step down when he takes over as commissioner in January. Olson has also served on the boards of the South Tillamook County Chamber of Commerce, Adventist Health and Tillamook Lightwave for more than a decade, and has been

an appointed member of Tillamook County’s Budget Committee for a similar amount of time. Olson had mulled a run for commissioner in the past and been encouraged by friends and acquaintances but demurred because of his hotel ownership and other commitments. “I’ve never done anything that I didn’t give it a hundred percent, that’s just not how I want to do things, and so I didn’t, but I thought about it,” Olson said of running. When Commissioner David Yamamoto announced his plan to retire before the end of his term in August and the county announced the appointment process for a candidate to serve the final year of the term, Olson was again intrigued. He updated his resumé and filled out the necessary paperwork but was on the fence about submitting it until a call from State Representative Cyrus Javadi on the deadline day for submissions swayed him and he submitted. As a commissioner, Olson said that he plans to support ongoing projects and advocate for Tillamook County interests, like slowing down and lessening the blow of updates Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood insurance plan and accounting for the county’s financial health in ongoing state forest habitat conservation plan developments. Olson will take over liaison duties to the Economic Development Council, Northwest Area Commission on Transportation, Northwest Oregon Economic Alliance, Columbia Pacific Economic Development District and Tillamook Lightwave. He will also serve as the commissioner liaison to the county’s assessment and taxation, clerk, information technology and parks departments, the county surveyor’s office and the Tillamook County Fair Board. The assignments reflect Olson’s long-standing ties in the business community and his strong connections in that community across the county and state. The fair board assignment is particularly exciting for Olson, who described himself and his wife as “county fair junkies.” He said that they had used to go to two to three fairs a week during the summer and have been to every fair between Sacramento and Seattle. “The number one county fair is here by far and we figured that out way before we moved here and we’d always come here because of the Pig n’ Ford and horse races,” Olson said. While he is not bringing an agenda of items to the position, Olson plans to employ a dynamic approach and will not shy away from addressing problems that come up. “Anywhere I’ve been for any length of time something comes up that’s not on the agenda and so you use your logic and resources to fix it,” Olson said. Olson will not seek election in 2024 and after stepping down from other positions to serve as commissioner does not plan to run for elected office again in the future. He said he will remain engaged in civic life in some capacity, however, musing, “I don’t own a rocking chair.” Olson said that if he becomes involved in the process of seeking bonds for the new emergency radio system or other major projects requiring resident buy-in he will see them through to the end, even if it comes after the end of his term. An unwavering belief in and commitment to citizens is core to Olson’s modus operandi in public service and he promised to retain that commitment in his term as commissioner. He said that he will always offer reasoning for any decisions he makes

THS ALUMNI FUND CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 and not be afraid to approach voters for support for county initiatives, believing in their ability to make wise choices for the county. “I always believe that the citizens are much smarter than you give them credit for,” Olson said. “They understand stuff, they understand money. They know what it costs them personally and they know what they want their government to do.”

disbursed in the spring semester directly to the students with no restrictions on their use. Reeves, Miles and the group’s treasurer, Bonita Blaser, said that being part of the scholarship fund’s board was a rewarding experience but that as they grow older, they are looking for younger Tillamook High grads to become involved and eventually take over.

“We’re working on trying to get some of the next generation because we’re gonna be gone,” Miles said. The foundation meets on the fourth Monday of each month during the school year at noon at the Elks Lodge on Third Street in downtown Tillamook. The meetings are open to any graduate of Tillamook High School and last an hour. The group is also always on the lookout for donations.

Neah-Kah-Nie girls shooting for state tourney By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

he Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates girls basketball team had a strong season a year ago, finishing with a 13-9 overall record and 6-6 mark in league play. They finished fourth in the seventeam Coastal Range League, just behind the Riverdale High Mavericks (8-4 league, 19-9 overall), who earned a state playoff berth. The Pirates had a chance to reach the state playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, advancing to the district playoffs for a shot at a state playoff spot in a

matchup versus the Mavericks. Unfortunately, the Pirates lost 49-31 to Riverdale in Portland in mid-February, ending their season. Neah-Kah-Nie, guided by 19th year Coach Corey Douma, started practice November 13 with 19 players comprising the varsity and junior varsity squads. The Pirates play their varsity season opener Wednesday on the road in a nonleague contest versus the Class 2A Knappa High Loggers (15-12 last year) at 6 p.m. at Knappa High School. “I always like to start the season with a bunch of optimism, practices have been going well, the girls are

working hard and that’s all I can ask for,” said Douma. “It’s always hard to tell how good the team is going to be until you start playing games, but we’ve been looking good at practice and we’ll see how everything goes. Every year our goal is to extend the season as long as we can. That’s the same thing we’re shooting for this year. Hopefully, everyone will stay healthy so that hopefully we’ll continue to enjoy some success and go to the district playoffs.” Despite losing three graduated seniors from last year, the Pirates have a solid group of players returning to lead the push for the 2024 state playoffs. The senior trio

of Kailynn Stinnett, Madison Graham and Kennedy Fletcher will provide leadership for the Pirates, and are also expected to lead the team in scoring and rebounding. Some of the younger players will also be asked to contribute offensively for the Pirates, including juniors Ashley Perez, Lorelai Keefauver and Payton White. “The seniors have played together a long time, they know our system and I think they will provide some good leadership,” said Douma. “With the good group of juniors, seniors and sophomores on the team, I think we’ll get have good leadership qualities from all of

them.” The Pirates have some height courtesy of sophomore Acacia Christensen, a 6-foot center. Their other players are average height, but they can utilize their quickness to play solid defense and disrupt their opponent’s offense and create turnovers. The Pirates will continue their season against the Class 2A Vernonia High Loggers (11-14) in a nonleague match up on December 4 at 6 p.m. at Vernonia High School. They’ll follow with the first home contest of their 24game schedule on December 5 at 6 p.m. against the Taft High Tigers (12-12 last year) at Neah-Kah-Nie High

School in Rockaway. The Pirates will begin their 12-game league schedule January 3 on the road against the Yamhill-Carlton High Tigers (2-10, 4-16 overall last year). The Corbett High Cardinals (11-1, 25-4) and the Banks High Braves (11-1, 28-2) were co-champions of the CRL last year. The Cardinals are in a strong position to repeat as league champions as they return their entire roster from a year ago, save one graduated senior. The Braves look set to take a step back after losing five seniors to graduation.

Nestucca girls’ basketball prepares to build on standout season By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

he defending Northwest League girls’ basketball regular season champion Nestucca High Bobcats had an amazing season a year ago. So, what should Bobcats fans expect for an encore? A second straight league title in 2024 seems like a realistic goal for a strong Bobcats squad. Nestucca started practice November 13 with a solid varsity group of 10 players, including nine returners from last year’s state playoff squad. The Bobcats have four starters returning from a squad that had a 14-0 league record and was 19-7 overall and ranked No. 14. The Bobcats took second

place in the eight-team NWL after losing a league playoff game 40-37 to the Knappa High Loggers (11-3 NWL, 15-12 overall last year) February 18, at Vernonia High School. At one point during last season, the Bobcats were nearly unbeatable. They had a 15-game win streak from January 4 through February 11. Nestucca, guided by fourth-year Coach Tevin Gianella, followed with a second straight loss a week later in 39-31 loss to the Colton High Vikings (23-7 last year) in a first round state playoff road game at Colton High School. The Bobcats playoff game marked their first appearance at state since 2009. “I’m pretty excited about the season because we have a

very talented team and we’re bringing back nine of our 10 girls, which is awesome,” said Gianella, whose assistant coaches include Josh Rist and Hannah Haugen. “We have four of our starters returning from last year so they’re poised for a big year. Our goal is to win the league again, win 20 games and reach the quarterfinals and go to Pendleton for the state tournament.” Since the Bobcats lost only one senior, Lyndie Hurliman, they should be a league title contender again this year along with the Loggers, who also lost just one senior. The Bobcats have talented players up and down the roster who will make significant contributions, including juniors Daisy Camacho and

Rylee Armstrong, a 5-foot-10 forward, who is the Bobcats tallest player. Nestucca also has two sets of sisters with Rist sisters, freshmen Autumn her sister Piper, joining the Knight sisters, Hailee and Taylor. “It’s kind of cool having two sets of sisters, which is really neat,” said Gianella. “The two freshmen on the team, Piper and Autumn Rist are both very talented. I think I have a lot of girls that can really play and we have a really deep team this year. We have multiple girls that can contribute offensively. We’re really excited to get going and play our first game. We were excited about going to the state playoffs last year and we’re hoping to make another good playoff run this season.”

The Bobcats play the season opener of their 24game schedule Wednesday at 6 p.m. at home against the Class 3A Taft High Tigers (12-12 last year). The Bobcats played the Tigers during summer league and they won that game. “They (Taft) are a really good team too, so I think that’s going to be a really good first test for us and it will definitely be a good game,” said Gianella. “The girls put in a lot of work during the summer and they played over 20 games. I think we’re going to have a really balanced offense and we’ll have multiple girls scoring in double digits. Hailiee Knight (13 points per game average) and Makayla Webber will likely be our leading scorers again this year.”

The Bobcats have an experienced playoff squad led by NWL All-League Award-winning seniors Hailee Knight, Kyla Hurliman, Chloe Love and Webber. Knight earned a First Team All-League Award. Webber earned a Second Team All-League Award and was selected for the NWL Defensive Player-of-the-Year Award. Hurliman and Love both earned Third Team All-League Awards. Hailee Knight was the Bobcats leading scorer last season, followed by Webber, the second leading scorer. Nestucca begins its 14 game NWL schedule January 3 at home against the Portland Christian High Royals (6-8 NWL, 8-13 overall last year).

here weren’t many positive moments for the Nestucca Bobcats boys’ basketball last season. Nestucca had a very disappointing 5-9 record in the Northwest League standings (8-16 overall) and finished in sixth place in the eight-team league. The highlight of the season was a three-game win streak in January that included victories over Clatskanie, Gaston and Faith Bible. The Bobcats started practice November 13 with 18 total players on both their varsity and junior varsity squads. The Bobcats varsity squad, guided by fourth-year Coach Justin Hartford has five players returning from the 2022-2023 squad, along with five newcomers to the team. The Bobcats have an optimistic outlook this season and are hoping to have a much-improved team that will potentially contend in the league. “We don’t have many seniors, but we do have a good solid core group of returning kids that played last year and they bring a lot of experience and knowledge to the program along with the younger kids on the team,”

said Hartford. “We have a good group of kids that play hard and they’re learning very quickly too.” The Bobcats two seniors are Kenneth Blackburn and Bryson Morgan. “Kenneth will definitely play a huge role as far as being a team leader and Bryson is more of a quiet leader on the floor,” Hartford said. Juniors on the squad include Austin Reno, Eagan Ortis, Josh Knight and Nolen Hurliman. Sophomores Pedro Sandoval, Vince Lewis and Eli Love and freshman Mason Vu will also be counted on to make significant contributions for the Bobcats as well. Hurliman, a 6-foot-4 center, and Reno are expected to help lead the Bobcats offensively. “Mason really has a lot of potential,” said Hartford. “I mean it’s a big step coming from eighth grade and then playing against high school seniors. He’s not afraid to take it to the bigger guys though and he’s very confident in himself, so that will help him go a long way with his game.” The Bobcats play the season opener of their 24game schedule Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at home with a nonleague contest versus the class 3A Taft High Tigers (717 last year). The Tigers won

63-52 over the Bobcats in last year’s matchup at Taft. The Bobcats will be seeking to get revenge and focusing on starting the season with a victory in their first game. “I think we’ll have a good chance to be more successful in our league and I think we’ll surprise some teams this year,” said Hartford. “We’re a young team, but I think the kids really want to get after it, so I think we’ll be one of the top contenders in the league. I hope that we can qualify for the state playoffs, which would really be nice too. It’s been a pretty long time (over 20 years) since Nestucca has advanced to state.” The Bobcats begin their 14-game NWL schedule January 3 at home versus the Portland Christian High Royals (9-5 NWL, 15-11 overall last year). The defending NWL and OSAA 2A state champion Mannahouse Academy Lions (13-1 NWL, 27-3 overall last year) will undoubtedly be the top contender in the league again this season. The Lions lost just four seniors and have eight of their 12 players returning from last year.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Just how toxic is Styrofoam? ith my latest studies in the link between biomedical science and Nutritional epidemiology I wanted to present you with the question: Just how toxic is Styrofoam? Styrofoam containers are commonly used for take-out boxes, quick disposable cups and plates at gatherings. I’m sure you have heard the potential dangers it can have on the environment because it is non degradable and will never breakdown, ending up in landfills and our ocean, But what about human health? Scientists at the national toxicology program have discovered quantifiable data that the harmful chemical Styrene that is in Styrofoam leaches out of your container and goes into your food and drinks that you consume. Exposure to the chemical styrene has been

found to increases your risks of leukemia and lymphoma and causes damage to your white blood cells. Styrene is a neurotoxin; exposure to this chemical can causes side effects like headache, fatigue, body weakness, and impaired vision and hearing. These non-biodegradable containers end up in our environment, the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink! So why are we still using this nasty chemical? It boils down to money, Styrofoam in cheap. People and businesses love to save money. But long term this is only costing you more money. Medical bills are not cheap. Your long-term health is more important than saving a couple dollars. So what do we do now that we know how bad Styrofoam is to our environment and our health? We can put our own containers in our car so that when we dine out, we have our own containers accessible.

When offered a Styrofoam container we can politely decline and let the person know that it is a toxic substance. We can look in the stores on our packaging labels for the number 6. Inside the recycling logo will be a number, the number 6 contains the same harmful chemical that is in Styrofoam. We can pass this message along and let our local legislators know that we do care about our health and we are ready to ban this toxin for our public health. We need to protect our loved ones and our beloved planet. Thank you for your time reading this information and your commitment to helping this generation and many more to come be less exposed to this harmful substance.

anything that needed fixing in the house itself because of his skills as a carpenter and furniture builder. And he did. We basically rebuilt the house from the roof down, with new wiring and plumbing being added as we went along. Finally, I had the “English cottage-by-the sea” that I had always wanted. Then, in spring of 2002, we turned to the gardens. Gary was such a huge help to me as we cut back English ivy and blackberries and laid paving stones on pathways. We took out an old outhouse and put in a patio. I wanted as little grass as possible, leaving more room for plants and flowers. We accomplished that together, building a series of patios and walkways throughout the garden. We purchased the vacant lot next to our house a few years later and Gary – with the help of our son and daughter-in-love – built a summer house where we could eat out and be protected from the wind. It still serves as a place for me to winter-over my more tender perennials and succulents. It is situated in such a way that

it looks like a tree house built in an old, old alder. It has also become an art studio for when the grandchildren visit. There was never a task, small or large, that Gary wasn’t willing to tackle with me. We cut back bamboo, pruned escallonia and bay laurel, and dug many holes to plant trees and shrubs. When I broke my foot a week before our Master Gardener’s Garden Tour in 2007, Gary became my “garden assistant” and as I sat on a chair, he crawled around the ground pulling weeds and watering the plants. The gardens were perfect for the tour, thanks to his hard work and putting up with me supervising. Gary knew how much I loved being in the garden and would often watch me out the windows of the house as I went back-and-forth, backand-forth through the paths. He kidded me as he likened it to a duck in a shooting gallery. But perhaps where Gary most excelled was building yard art for me. I have outdoor benches, tables, and raised dahlia beds, all from his workshop. We had seen

giant diamond-shaped structures at an art exhibit in the woods the Tillamook Forest Center had quite a few years ago. They were hung between trees to provide a “window” to the view beyond. When I commented how cool I thought that was, Gary produced not one, but two large diamonds and painted them my signature color of cobalt blue. They stand today as windows to my gardens. So, as we start those long, dreary winter days, I know I can still go out into the garden and be reminded of my wonderful, generous, and kind husband and all he did throughout his life to make me happy. I will find comfort in that. (On a side note, my editor Will has kindly offered to let me take a few weeks off from writing “Gardening Matters,” and I am going to do just that. It will be the first time in more than 20 years that I have missed writing my columns twice a month. I am planning on returning in January 2024 with another year of gardening columns.)

Gary in the Garden

any of my regular readers will remember me speaking of the wonderful things my dear husband Gary did to help me in the yard. After Gary had passed away earlier this month, I was taking a walk through the garden, and everywhere I looked, I could see his influence. When we moved to Oregon in 2001, wanting to be closer to our son after 9/11, we toured many, many houses. None would really suit me until we found the house in Barview. The house itself was in total disrepair but I saw so much potential in the garden. I knew Gary could fix

ape Meares resident and author Brad Ayers participated in the Garibaldi Maritime Museum’s TillaBook Fair earlier this month. Brad has written eight books in a series called “If They Had a Voice.” Each book imagines plants or inanimate objects having a voice, and what they would say to us if they were to speak. I had the pleasure of reading two of Brad’s delightful books, “Beach Voices” and “Walk in My Garden.” An essay in “Beach Voices” brings a beach rock to life, hopeful that the person who picked it up will pocket it and carry it home. The garden path in “Walk in My Garden” beckons the reader into the garden, offering surprises around every turn. There are a lot of life lessons in these slim little blue books. If you are looking for a special gift this holiday season, check out Brad’s “Voices” series. A sea lion, alive but weak, was spotted on Cape Meares beach just before Thanksgiving. The sighting was reported to Jim Rice, Marine Mammal Stranding Network expert working out of the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport (541-270-6830). Jim said there is a good chance the sea lion was sick with leptospirosis, a contagious disease that has been affecting a lot of sea lions along the entire Oregon Coast. Be sure

“H

ow many times was that?” asked Mayor Katie as she gave a congratulatory embrace to Cheryl Gierga, a third generation Garibaldian, after being appointed Garibaldi’s newest city councilor. It’s been long, hard, often unfathomable roads for Councilor Gierga to finally get a seat and a microphone at the blue horseshoe council table in city hall. Unless you have been living off-grid for the last eight weeks, you know of the tragedy the Gierga family has endured with the loss of Cheryl’s son Tommy. Such tragic events would send many parents into isolation or worse, but there Cheryl was, application reaffirmed, standing tall and speaking proud about her City during the appointment process. “In the past month, I’ve seen first-hand how a community can come together.” Out of complete admiration, I had to ask how she could consider such service during such times. “It was Tommy who urged me to run, again. He kept telling me how proud he was of me. I probably don’t run again without his support. I still feel him urging me forward to better our home.” Damn. So I asked, “What’s the first thing Tommy would want you to do?” She said bluntly, “Keep giving voices to those in Garibaldi like us who struggle to survive and feel unheard. To do that, we need to keep pushing down on the accelerator, fulfill council objects and push back on those who keep taking their half out of the middle while the rest of the town suffers.” “Then maybe we can attack some of these rising costs from these years of unkept maintenance,” Gierga continued. “That would be nice. Wouldn’t it? Maybe a bit? Making sure our toilets flush

for years to come before we FINDLING give out any more business finn@natfinn.com deals.” She kept going. Who was I to get in the way? “I think about Tommy’s identical twin, my incredible son Robby. There are still a few kids here. What opportunities are there for those like Robby here that can match his abilities and still get him a down payment for one of these old houses that cost $400,000 and more? He’s going to have to spend a lot of time commuting to stay here.” “It’s never-ending, but it’s my home. It’s my job to leave it in better shape for future Garibaldians and Giergas alike.” When she took a breath, I asked her what her grandparents, Joe & Siggi Gierga, thought about all this (in English or German): “They’re excited for me and proud of me. They’ve told me that it’s my turn to serve Garibaldi.” Here’s to hoping Joe makes a commemorative spinner for the occasion. It’s a token, a ration against the rage of the last few weeks for the Giergas, but it’s not nothing. Much more than nothing to the Giergas. Rage on, Councilor Gierga. Now, off to LOC training with you. It wouldn’t be a Fencepost without hearing from everybody’s favorite local library. This week, she wants everyone to meet Perdita, the beautiful canine from the Autism Anchoring Dogs project. Come meet, greet, pet, read stories and simply spend incredible quality time with

this amazing companion. Perdita will be waiting for you at the Garibaldi Branch library on Friday, December 1, at 3 p.m. More information on the project, please visit so https// autismanchoringdogs.com Lastly, for those wondering why Mayor Katie asked “How many times was that?” and why Tommy asked her to run “again,” it’s because Cheryl applied three times alone in 2021, along with around a dozen others to fill then-Mayor Hall’s council seat, which he vacated when he was elected mayor. It was back in the early days of COVID, when meetings were Zoom-only and everyone was tapping into their “keyboard warrior” strength. The process to fill the vacant seat took months with a gridlocked council. Something like 17 votes were conducted before somewhere towards the end, then-applicant Laurie Wandell called out then-Councilors Forsman and Riggs for only voting for those who’d vote for “those f****** apartments,” in a speech that went viral. Wandell’s words appeared to have caught the duo on their flank as she was voted in on the 18th vote, her third nomination, 4-0, leaving Gierga crestfallen. Here we are, two and a half years later… “I really, really wasn’t thinking of applying after last time,” said Councilor Gierga. “It was disgusting what they put us through. But, again, Tommy pushed me to forget about last time and try again. He knew how much I wanted this. Both boys did.” “My baby boy is why I’m now a Councilor. I hope he knows that now, and it brings him joy.” Good on you, Tommy.

ats off to Fauna Fauth, of Beaver, who has donated several of her late husband Frank’s stainedglass artworks to brighten public spaces. Five pieces featuring salmon are hanging in the lobby of Tillamook Bay Community College. Egrets (one in a sunrise setting and a second with nighttime in the background) were repaired by Tim Josi and Billy Schreiber and are hanging in the magazine section of TIllamook County Library’s Main Branch. Let’s make a point of enjoying the art the next time we visit either space.

he November 8 City Council workshop and subsequent meeting had one result that many in town were hoping for: we’re keeping the Fourth of July fireworks display for 2024. “I plan to call our fireworks provider tomorrow and say we’re a go,” said City Manager Luke Shepard at the meeting. While popular with visitors and businesses alike, the fireworks display is not without issues. Noise and its effects on pets and sensitive people are key concerns, which is why some in the city had proposed switching to a drone display. Drones have their own restrictions, notably around winds at the time of display, but there were suggestions about adding them to other festivals. Council president Penny Cheek suggested looking at alternate light show sources for such events as the Kite Festival and others. City Manager Shepard also pointed out that the city fireworks displays receive a permit from state parks and the fire marshal. Others displayed legitimate concern about the illegal fireworks displays that have caused problems in the past. One such problem was a small brush fire last July, which was fortunately prevented from becoming serious by alert neighbors who contacted Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue. Other topics discussed at the meeting included the “Higher Ground” project, which plans to move City Hall and emergency services to a new location east of Quadrant Street off N 3rd. The main benefit: this would

The project’s next phase: a detailed examination of environmental impact on streams that pass through the area, as well as the impact of traffic and noise on the neighborhoods nearby. There is still time to weigh in with questions or concerns, and the mayor and city council are actively encouraging citizen participation in an oversight committee. I will post more as this proceeds, or you can sign up for emails on the city web site, https://corb.us to follow the issue.

Another topic of concern to residents is the Streets Capital Improvements Plan. This plan prioritizes repairs to streets in Rockaway Beach based on a number of criteria, beginning with the greatest need for repair but also looking ahead to required underground improvements, to avoid repeating the work in a year or two. The city is asking for public comments on the plan. You can read and respond to the preliminary list on the city’s web site, https://corb.us/ streets-capital-improvementplan-projects/.

Echoes of the Season: A Musical Solstice Celebration

4-H Fleece Hat Workshop Warms Hearts with 79 Handmade Hats for Tillamook Head Start and Healthy Families Programs

illamook, Oregon - On November 10, 2023 the Tillamook County Need and Thread 4-H Club hosted a heartwarming Fleece Hat Workshop that saw an impressive turnout of dedicated participants. A total of 14 individuals, including 6 4-H members, 4 junior leaders, and 3 leaders, gathered to create a generous donation of 79 handmade hats for the Tillamook Head Start and Healthy Families programs.
