Tillamook veterans’ memorial breaks ground WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

illamook City Councilor Doug Henson has secured more than $200,000 in donations and in-kind contributions to construct a memorial to Tillamook County veterans in downtown Tillamook. Work on concrete footings began last week and Henson, who served in the Vietnam War, said that the generosity of local contractors had been critical to the project. “That’s the part that just absolutely amazed me was that every contractor I approached, once I told them what I was doing and why I was doing they said they would do it and they wouldn’t charge me a dime,” Henson said. The idea for a memorial was planted in Henson’s mind when visiting with the parents of a high school friend who died in the Vietnam War. His friends’ parents remarked that during their travels they had seen many memorials to veterans and asked Henson why Tillamook did not have one. Henson said that he had no answer for the question and once he investigated the matter further, found that the only

illamook Mayor Aaron Burris has reached a settlement in his lawsuit against the Tillamook Fire District surrounding allegations of wrongful termination, accepting a $5,000 payout in return for dismissing the suit with prejudice. Burris, who originally sought $480,000 in damages from the district, also agreed to resign from the fire district’s board, which he was elected to in May, and is expected to sign the settlement shortly. “This was the best option to move forward with the district,” said Tillamook Fire District Board of Directors Chair Brian Cameron. The settlement ends a saga that began in early 2023, when Burris was dismissed from his position as a volunteer firefighter with the district. The dismissal followed investigations by Tillamook Police and an independent investigator into allegations that Burris had shown an explicit video of a former firefighter captured in the firehouse to various members of the district and public. The investigations were unable to conclusively determine whether Burris had shared an explicit version of the video and then-Tillamook District Attorney William Porter declined to press charges when the case was referred to him. However, Burris’s attorney, Randy Harvey, admitted that Burris had shared a shortened, non-explicit version of the video, which the independent investigator determined had violated department policy. Burris’s volunteer status with the district was terminated late last year by then-Chief Daron Bement, a decision that was upheld by the board in December. In March of this year, Burris and

Charles Spittles, whose camera had captured the video, filed suit against the district and Bement, claiming violations of their first and fourteenth amendment rights and alleging that they were retaliated against for whistleblowing when they shared the video. In a surprising move, Burris entered the uncontested election for a district board seat in May, assuming the position in July, before absenting himself from meetings in August, September and October. According to a statement from the fire district, a mediation session was held between the parties on September 7, with retired Judge Jean Maurer serving as mediator. That session did not yield a settlement, but in the weeks following it negotiations continued, and an agreement was reached in early October, before being approved by the district board at a special meeting on October 16. In addition to the $5,000, which will be paid by the district’s insurer, SDIS, Burris agreed to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice, precluding a refiling, and immediately resign from the district board. The district admitted no liability in the settlement agreement and both parties agreed not to disparage one another. Cameron signed the agreement on behalf of the district at the October 16 meeting and Bement SEE BURRIS PAGE A14

he City of Tillamook hosted an event to educate citizens about the extensive inflow and infiltration problems affecting the city’s wastewater collection system and a warranty program covering the issue on October 30. The issue is set to come to the fore, as city staff will again begin enforcing an ordinance requiring property owners to repair the lateral connections to their properties in December. Staff will also be sending letters soon informing homeowners of the results of a smoke test conducted on the system last year. Background Assistant Public Works Director Kyle Fetzer started the meeting with a presentation about the inflow and infiltration problem. Fetzer said that recent studies have estimated that the city is using around half of its wastewater processing capacity to treat stormwater that ends up in the pipes. The average proportion of rainwater being treated in city systems is around 40%, according to Fetzer, who estimated that the city is spending $1.4 million annually on treating stormwater. A wastewater system study completed by Consor North America, Inc.

showed that over 90% of the city’s system is failing and in serious need of repair, with half of the inflow and infiltration occurring in lateral connections. Inflow and infiltration problems have several causes, including roots breaking a pipe, although most of Tillamook’s issues are related to aging pipes, according to Fetzer. He said that the majority of pipes in Tillamook are made of concrete, with clay pipes coming in a close second, and that cracked lines, missing segments, and cracked or missing gaskets were more common causes of infiltration in Tillamook. A wastewater study conducted in 2022 estimated that around half of the problem was being caused by issues with the city’s main transmission lines, whereas the other half comes from lateral lines serving individual properties. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their own lateral lines, with repairs often costing thousands of dollars. According to Fetzer, properties located east of Miller Avenue are the most affected, with the situation being exacerbated by maximum capacity at the 12th Street lift station serving the east side of town. That lift station has been operating at capacity since 2005 and during large rain events it is overloaded, causing the system to overflow. Fetzer said that those issues were limiting the ability for new

developments on the east side of town, with the city having had to turn down several applications already. Not only is the issue hampering growth and running up wastewater processing costs, but it also puts the city afoul of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations. DEQ has mandated that the city address the issue, with the completed wastewater study representing the first step towards compliance and the forthcoming resumption of the lateral connection ordinance the second. Lateral connection ordinance An ordinance assigning responsibility for lateral connections to property owners and instituting fines has been on the books in Tillamook since the 1970s, but enforcement has varied and in recent years the ordinance has gone unenforced. With the approaching need to enforce the ordinance, Tillamook’s city council began considering updates to the ordinance at their last meeting on October 16. The proposed updates would extend the timeframe for homeowners to address issues from the current 60 days to 180 days, allow for a further 180-day SEE SEWER LINE PAGE A5

TJHS students outrun zombie horde

A group of students surge into the zombie pit at Tillamook Junior High School, trying to evade their chasing, zombified teachers.

Two students brave the zombie pit alone.

beloved Halloween tradition returned for its ninth year at Tillamook Junior High School last week, as students ducked, dodged and dove out of the way of their teachers during a zombie run. Not just a highly anticipated event, the zombie run is also paired with student fundraising efforts to help build fitness trails at schools around the district and raised over $10,000 this year towards a new path at South Prairie Elementary. “It’s something that the junior high is passionate about and the kids, giving back to the community,” Tillamook Junior High School (TJHS) Dean of Students Jamie Dixson said, “it’s not just for them, it’s for the community.”

The zombie run began in 2014 as Dixson was searching for new ways to fundraise to build community fitness paths at district schools. Dixson, who was then a physical education teacher, had previously secured funding to build the Bud Gienger Trail at the junior high by winning $16,000 in grant funding that was matched by the late Gienger. Looking for a more sustainable fundraising method, Dixson came up with the idea of a studentled fundraising drive in conjunction with a seasonally themed, schoolwide game and raffle for students, and the zombie run was born. During the run, the school’s teachers and staff become zombies, complete

Students looking for a less-intense experience can walk laps around the school’s football field while the chaos unfolds.

the story as students were busy during the week leading up to Halloween going doorto-door in Tillamook to raise funds for the fitness trail program. The inaugural zombie run funded a quarter-mile loop at TJHS to supplement the existing trail. Subsequent zombie runs raised money for a half-mile trail at East Elementary School and a quarter mile loop at Liberty Elementary School. Funds raised by students were also used to build the Bohannon Disc Golf Course, with TJHS hosting 11 holes and East Elementary seven, and an outdoor basketball court at the junior high. The funds from this year will be used to build a trail at South Prairie Elementary School and all the trails are open to the community, with Dixson hoping to one day build a trail at each of the district’s schools. TJHS Principal Karen Thenell said that people often have mixed feelings towards middle schoolers and that this was a great opportunity to improve the way her students are perceived in the community. “I think that the school really wanted to say look at the good our kids do, look at what a value add our students are to the community,” Thenell said. “We want to be good neighbors and good community members and we want to put something positive out into Tillamook.” Thenell said that she had first experienced the zombie run as a parent of TJHS students before taking over as principal three years ago and that it was a great tradition that high schoolers, she runs into often inquire about. After the run, the Halloween festivities culminated in a raffle for the students, with prizes ranging from a big screen TV to student-favorite, food-themed socks. Students received tickets to place on their desired prizes based both on their performance in fundraising and the zombie run. In the seventh grade, Kilchis Sukanan, Kaci Averill and Oliver Allen were the top fundraisers, while Blake Glassbum, Kiptyn Allen and Mia Weathers led the way.

Tillamook welcomes influx of trick or treaters STAFF REPORT

usinesses across downtown Tillamook threw their doors open and handed out candy to a huge group of trick or treaters from 3 to 5 p.m. on Halloween. Spiderman was a crowd favorite among the costumed kids, with inflatable dinosaurs, Disney princesses and classics like witches, skeletons and pirates all enjoying a strong turnout as well. In addition to the businesses, Tillamook’s various social clubs, emergency responders, county departments and the pioneer museum all got in on the holiday fun.

The Tillamook Police Department drew a large crowd to the second street plaza to take pictures with McGruff the Crime Dog.

County departments got into the spirit of the season, welcoming trick or treaters to the well-decorated courthouse.

Large queues for candy, like the one here outside Coastal Eye Care, were a common sight across downtown Tillamook on Halloween.

Rockaway Beach Transforms into Halloweentown

SCOTT FISHER for the Tillamook Headlight Herald

ockaway Beach celebrated Halloweentown on Saturday, October 28. While activities centered around the Wayside and the historic Chamber Caboose, businesses all up and down Highway 101 were decked out for the celebration. “We just want the whole town to be spooky,” said Chamber vice-president Kim Tackett when the festival was announced on October 3. “Halloween is my favorite time of year.” Tackett’s wish certainly came true, with businesses and residents alike vying for prizes. Third place in the commercial category: Joe’s Snacks & Beer, 101 S. Miller Street, directly across S 1st from the Chamber Caboose. Owners Debra Reeves and husband Bryce Zehrung went for a fun autumn theme featuring pumpkins, some with bat wings, and a few friendly ghosts. Second place was Tackett’s own Simply Charming. Her elaborate combination of wooden

cutouts featuring witches, owls, spooky trees and other icons of the season made chilling silhouettes inside the shop windows at 130 Highway 101 North. Pumpkins and corn stalks outside helped give a harvest-festival effect, but the frightening, skeletal animated figure just inside the door provided goosebumps and shrieks of laughter to visitors all week. First place, to the surprise of neither residents nor visitors, was Grumpy’s Cafe, 202 N Hwy 101. For weeks, Grumpy’s has been adding to the store of skeletons, zombies, ghouls and unnamable horrors—all in good fun, of course. A selection of skeletal pirates worked the rigging of a ghost

Rockaway Beach cell service outages to continue through 2024 WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

ell phone service in Rockaway Beach has been unavailable during power outages since late 2022, due to a damaged backup generator at the town’s only cell tower and those outages are set to persist into next year. The outages have left Rockaway Beach’s Fire Department in the lurch and forced them to staff their station for the duration of

outages to be available to the public. The problem came to light in December 2022, when Rockaway residents noticed during power outages that their cell phone service was also unavailable. Rockaway Beach Fire Chief Todd Hesse began investigating, contacting tower owner, American Tower, and Verizon, which manages operations at the site. Hesse said that he generated a help ticket with American Tower on

December 22, 2022, and followed up repeatedly in the following months, before receiving confirmation that the generator was damaged. A Verizon representative confirmed to the Herald in a written statement that “a recent lightning strike rendered a permanent generator at this site inoperable.” The statement said that Verizon’s engineering team was aware of the situation and “has begun the generator replacement process,

including regulatory clearance, equipment acquisition, building permits, etc.” The representative clarified that it was standard practice to have battery banks at Verizon cell sites for immediate backup and permanent generators for extended outages. The statement said that Verizon expected the generator installation to be complete in 2024 but a more specific timeline was not available. For now, a portable

generator has been placed at the site as a backup power source, however it only supports Verizon’s network during outages. Mayor Charles McNeilly, who has coverage through Verizon, said that his service outlasts the power by about three hours, but Hesse, who has T-Mobile, said his service goes out as soon as the power goes down. Verizon’s representative did not respond to a question about the apparent discrepancy in service between providers.

The gap in service has des forced the fire department ini to staff the station with an sev on-duty officer during power top outages to field emergencies bro and communicate with of emergency dispatch courtesy bri of the department’s generator and radio equipment. He Hesse said he has spoken up with both State Senator $2 Suzanne Weber and State and Representative Cyrus Javadi po about the issue, and that both were concerned and had pledged their support in getting it resolved.

Beaver Water District dissolution continued WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

illamook’s Board of County Commissioners continued a decision on dissolving the Beaver Water District on November 1, after a district staffer updated the board on work being done to bring its financial reporting up to date. Commissioners also approved the reallocation of a previously awarded grant to allow the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association to examine an alternate site for a proposed museum. In August, the Oregon Secretary of State’s office contacted the county to notify them that the Beaver Water

District had failed to submit audits to them for three years. Under Oregon statute, the incomplete financial documentation forced the commissioners to issue a notice of dissolution for the district, which they did at their October 4 meeting. That notice of dissolution triggered the November 1 public hearing, where the district would be able to update the board on their progress. Tillamook Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty said that following the notice of dissolution, a member of the district’s board reached out and put her in contact with a new staff member who had been brought on board to

help with the finances. Hagerty spoke with the new staffer, Heidi Reid, and the secretary of state’s office, which told her that Reid was a respected professional in whom they had confidence. Hagerty told the commissioners that if they were satisfied with the district’s response to the notice of dissolution, they could continue the hearing to allow the district more time to complete the audits. Reid appeared at the meeting and told the commissioners that while the district’s financials were “pretty disheveled” and “kind of a mess,” she was confident that she would be able to ameliorate the situation.

If the financial records are in adequate shape, there is a possibility that less cumbersome financial reviews could satisfy the secretary of state’s reporting requirements, although Reid said it would probably be mid-December before she would know if that was the case. Reid also said she had been in contact with numerous certified public accounting firms and found one that had agreed to work on the reviews or audits, though they are not available until January. The commissioners said they were happy that the district had begun to address the issues and voted unanimously to continue the

order of dissolution while asking Reid to return on January 17, for a progress update. The board also voted to allow the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association to use previously awarded transient lodging tax grant funds to explore the possibility of building a proposed museum at an alternate site. Originally, the dorymen had planned to build a museum dedicated to their history on a lot adjacent to the Pacific City library branch that had been donated by a member. However, that lot lies in the flood plain and after the county acquired a property on higher ground adjacent to

VETERANS’ MEMORIAL CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 Shell gas station. The Oregon Department of Transportation now owns the property and agreed to let it be used for the memorial. Work on a preliminary design then began, with initial renderings showing a seven-foot-tall, granite plinth topped by a four-foot-tall, bronze bald eagle at the crest of the hill, accessible by a brick pathway. With the design in hand, Henson was able to come up with a rough budget of $200,000 for the memorial and started looking into potential funding sources. He

found that grants were few and far between, and, having written grant applications in the pass, decided to try to pay for the project with fundraising. It was then that Henson began approaching local contractors to construct a more detailed budget, at which point those contractors started to offer their services and materials for free in support of the project. Thanks to that generosity and several cash donations to fund the purchase of the plinth and statue, Henson quickly funded the project

and began working on plans for construction. The next step was finding a company to do engraving work on the plinth and attach it to the eagle sculpture, which Henson was able to purchase online. Luckily, Henson found OM Stone, a company specializing in memorial and monument projects and which is conveniently located in Hillsboro. Henson put down a deposit for the plinth, which is set to arrive in December, at which point all four sides will be engraved and the

eagle will be affixed. Henson said that while he had initially wanted to specifically honor Vietnam veterans from Tillamook County, the lack of a comprehensive list of those who had served had forced him to reconsider. The memorial will therefore honor all veterans who have served since World War I. With the pieces of the monument on order, Henson began doing site inspection work to ensure that the ground would support the heavy monument. Over the Fourth of July weekend,

Burden’s towing parked a crane on the site and, more recently, two large cement blocks have been placed there. Henson said that results from those tests had been good, with minimal sinking occurring, although he wasn’t surprised as the asphalt from the Shell station was left upon its demolition. Now, Henson plans to install the rebar-reinforced concrete base by the second week of November, so that it will have time to cure over the winter. Engraving on the plinth will take one

to two months and Henson hopes that the project will be complete by next fall. Unlike many projects of its type, development of the Tillamook memorial has been driven by one man, rather than a group or committee. Henson said that with years of public service experience under his belt, he had opted to forego the committee building route to expedite the project by serving as the sole decision maker. “If it comes unraveled or goes to hell, I’ll just move out of town,” Henson joked.

on residential properties. The company offers three different types of coverage, external water line, external sewer line and internal plumbing, and works with vetted contractors to address issues while directly handling reimbursement. Water line coverage costs $5.75 per month and covers up to $8,500 in repair work per incident, sewer line coverage costs $7.75 per month and covers the same amount, and in-house plumbing coverage is just over $9 monthly, covering up to $3,000 per incident. All three warranties come with no annual or lifetime limits for coverage, no deductible and no inspection is required to participate. HomeServe has 89 customers in Tillamook, who hold a combined 189 policies.

Several of those policy holders attended the outreach event and spoke up to voice concerns they had about their coverage and experiences with the policies. They said that they had had poor experiences calling the company’s service hotline and that response times were slow as the contractors the company uses in Tillamook are based in Hillsboro and the Salem area. The representative promised to follow up about the issues with the helpline and said that the company was always looking for more local contractors. Residents also asked whether ordinance violations issued by the city would be sufficient cause to initiate a warranty claim. The representative did not have a definite answer for

that question, saying that if an issue was identified by the city, the warranty would cover an inspection but he was not sure if the actual repairs would be covered.

the city’s state and federal representatives about the possibility of securing outside funding. Another city staffer explained that Tillamook is in a much more tenuous position than larger metro areas that face similar issues. Because of its low population, Tillamook’s budget to address issues is much smaller, while the relatively low population density and prevalence of single-family homes makes the problem larger relatively. Several residents asked about the possibility of the city helping to defray or defer the cost of repairs for homeowners. George said that the budget was already overburdened by the issues in its own portion of the system and could not support such programs.

The proposed update to the ordinance would maintain a $250 per day fine for property owners violating the ordinance. Tillamook City Manager Nathan George stressed repeatedly both at the council meeting and the outreach event that he and the staff hoped to not be forced impose the fine. George said that the city wanted to work with homeowners to address the issues and that the fine would only be used as a last resort. A second reading for the proposed ordinance update will be held at the city council’s next meeting on November 6. George told the Herald that the city plans to begin

sending letters with the results of last year’s smoke test to affected properties shortly. George said that enforcement won’t begin “until at least December, possibly later.” Fetzer said that the smoke test showed that between a quarter and half of the city’s 1,700 private connections were affected.

George said that the city is working on a wastewater management plan to begin ameliorating the issues, with work scheduled to be complete in 2024. He said that staff is also on the lookout for grants that would help to pay for work and in discussions with

Cheesemakers bow out in first round of playoffs

he Tillamook Cheesemaker football team’s season ended on November 3, with a firstround, 32-8, home playoff loss against the Cascade Cougars. The Cougar defense stymied the Cheesemakers’

offense, containing standout senior quarterback Tanner Hoskins, and two early turnovers converted for touchdowns gave Cascade what proved to be an insurmountable lead over the Mooks. The game was marked by a persistent rain, which caused a slew of fumbles and limited both team’s passing

attacks for most of the night. Cascade won the coin flip to start the game and elected to defer receiving until the beginning of the second half. Tillamook started with the ball at their own 31-yard line, but things quickly went awry, as Andrew White fumbled the ball on a second down rush. Taking over at the

Thrice, the Cheesemakers forced Cougar fourth downs, but each time Cascade was able to convert, culminating in a short rushing touchdown on a fourth and goal from the three. A quarterback keeper on the point-after attempt was successful, and the Cougars led 8-0 with 5:40 remaining in the first. The Cheesemakers’ troubles only worsened on their next offensive possession when on second down a Hoskins pass attempt hit a receiver’s hands and popped into the air. A Cascade defender intercepted the tipped ball and returned it to the 1-yard line. A quarterback sneak on second down found the end zone and gave Cascade a 16-0 lead with just under four minutes remaining in the frame. Tillamook went three and out on its next drive before catching a break when the Cougar quarterback fumbled a snap on second down, which was recovered by the Mooks. Taking over near midfield, Tillamook’s offense finally got rolling, with White picking up two first downs on passing plays before Seth

Wehinger kept the drive alive with a three-yard rush on a fourth-and-inches play from the 11. Hoskins advanced the ball to the three and on fourth-and-goal found White in the flat on a pass that he took for a touchdown at the left pylon. Wehinger punched in the two-point conversion on a quarterback keeper and cut the lead to 16-8 with just over eight minutes to go in the half. Cascade started their next drive at the 35-yard line and again converted several fourth-down plays to move the ball into Tillamook territory. Facing a fourth and 13 from Tillamook’s 29, the Cougar quarterback looked to the end zone, but Eligio Maciel deflected the pass attempt out of bounds, forcing a turnover on downs. With just under a minute and a half remaining in the half, Tillamook took over looking for an equalizing touchdown. The drive started well, with Hoskins finding Griffyn Boomer for a long completion to the Cougars’ 25 and White for another that advanced the ball to the 14. But the wet conditions again stung the Cheesemakers when Hoskins fumbled the ball, turning it over to Cascade. The Cougars’ quarterback took a knee to send the game to the half with the score 16-8. Cascade received the opening kick of the second half and started their drive at their own 37-yard line. Maciel had another beautiful pass defense on third and 17 and forced the Cougars’ punt team onto the field. Taking over at their own 15, the Cheesemakers failed to get anything going and went three and out. The Cougars ensuing drive started at midfield and they picked up two first downs

before a Logan Motsinger sack on third down led to a quick kick play by Cascade for a touchback. Tillamook picked up a first down with a Boomer reception that advanced the ball to their 40, but as the third quarter gave way to the fourth, the Cheesemaker drive stalled out and brought the punt team onto the field. Cascade quickly advanced into Tillamook territory, but their drive lost traction near the Tillamook 30. When they elected to go for a fourth and 17 from the 37, the snap sailed over the quarterback’s head forcing a turnover on downs at midfield. A White reception and Wehinger rush moved the Cheesemakers to the Cougars’ 36 but trying to fit the ball into a tight window, Hoskins threw his second interception of the evening, with the Cougar defender returning the ball to Tillamook’s 29. Cascade’s offense broke their scoring draught shortly later with a rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion to push the lead to 24-8 with just over four minutes left. Tillamook began their next drive at their own 31 and four straight passes fell incomplete, forcing a turnover on downs. The Cougars’ offense tacked on another rushing touchdown, extending the lead to 32-8, before putting in their backups who allowed a sustained drive but forced a turnover on downs at their own seven-yard line and entered the victory formation to end the game. With the loss, the Cheesemakers ended the season 7-3 overall, having won a share of the Cowapa League Championship for the second year in a row, going 4-1 in league matchups.

Cheesemaker soccer exits first round of playoffs

Cannon Affolter scores the Mooks’ only goal of the evening on a rebound from a Bruno Gonzalez shot.

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

he Tillamook Cheesemakers boys’ soccer team lost a first-round playoff matchup against the Crook County Cowboys on November 1, falling 2-1 at home. The loss snapped a 13-game win streak by the Mooks, including an undefeated league schedule, and ended their season. The game took place amid a persistent rain and offensive opportunities were limited on both sides. In the early going, Tillamook was able to put some pressure on the Cowboys’ defense with attacks but were consistently rebuffed. The Cowboys struggled to create any opportunities throughout the first half, instead opting for long-range shots that were easily handled by Tillamook goalie Jonathan Flores Barajas. The Cheesemakers took

a 1-0 lead with 22 minutes left in the half, when Bruno Gonzalez broke free down the left side and attacked the box along the goal line. Gonzalez’s shot was deflected by the Cowboy goalie, but Cannon Affolter was perfectly placed to knock the ball in. The rest of the half passed relatively uneventfully, with Tillamook handling a threatening corner kick with eight minutes remaining and taking the one-score lead to the locker room. Coming out of the break, Crook County applied the pressure early, possessing the ball for almost the entirety of the first ten minutes of the half. At first, the Cowboys struggled to generate scoring opportunities, but with 30 minutes remaining they notched the equalizer on a corner kick. The Cheesemakers almost answered back moments later with a beautiful, spinning shot, but the Cowboy goalie

stood tall, making a diving save into the goalpost. Barajas had a similarly impressive, diving save on a free kick attempt moments later, after which neither team generated a scoring opportunity for the remainder of regulation. In overtime, the Cowboys ratcheted up the offensive pressure and it paid off with a goal three minutes into the first period. With the 2-1 lead, the Cowboys dropped their defense back and stymied Tillamook’s attempts to draw the game level for the remainder of the overtime periods. The loss was only the second of the Cheesemakers’ season. After a seasonopening loss to Newport, the Cheesemakers reeled off 13 straight victories, en route to a Cowapa League Championship and three-seed in the state championship tournament.

Nestucca takes win over Neah-KahNie in county showdown

n the first Tillamook County football rivalry game in four years, the Nestucca High Bobcats took control of the contest by scoring three second half touchdowns for a 32-20 win over the Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates Oct. 27 at NeahKah-Nie High School in Rockaway. Neah-Kah-Nie’s Senior Night matchup marked the first meeting between the area rivals since 2019. Prior to this season, Neah-KahNie didn’t have a varsity

squad the previous three years. The Pirates (2-5 SD1, 2-7 overall) guided by first-year Coach Alejandro Quintana-Rios, had seven seniors who were honored for their contributions to the football program. They were accompanied by their parents in special pregame ceremony. The Bobcats (4-3 SD1, 4-5 overall), guided by longtime Coach Jeff Schiewe, built a 14-0 first half advantage, which included a 94-yard drive capped by Nolan Hurliman’s touchdown and point after touchdown kick by junior Draven Marsh, making it 7-0. Junior running back Zak Chatelain helped

the Bobcats extend their lead when he scored on a 45-yard touchdown run, making in 14-0. “We really wanted to win and Zak and Draven both had some good running plays that helped us gain some momentum at key points in the game,” said Schiewe. “We had a pretty wellbalanced offensive attack, so that was pretty cool to see.” The Pirates, guided by first-year Coach Alejandro Quintana-Rios, responded with a scoring drive, capped by Anthony Allen’s 49-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Asher Kronoff (127 recieiving yards) trimming

the margin to 14-6 at halftime. “We played good, we battled hard, it was very competitive and we had a good first half, but we made a few mistakes in the second half that cost us the game,” said Quintana-Rios. “Our passing game was working pretty well, but they (Bobcats) did a good job of stopping our running game by utilizing a good blitzing scheme and getting all their guys in their quick. Anthony thew the ball well and we were able to utilize our advantage with Asher’s speed to help us on our scoring drives. Our offensive line

started figuring things out near the end of the game.” The Bobcats extended their lead in the third quarter when Hurliman threw a touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Eli Love, making it 20-6. The Pirates answered with a long scoring drive, capped by a 49-yard touchdown pass from Allen to Kronoff making it 20-14. The Bobcats scored on their ensuing possession to go ahead 26-14. Nestucca capitalized on a Pirate turnover when Marsh intercepted a pass thrown by Allen to give Nestucca good field position. Senior running back Bryson Morgan capped the drive with a touchdown run, making it 32-14. The Pirates scored on their ensuing possession when Allen hooked up with Kronoff again on a 21-yard touchdown pass, making it 32-20 late in the fourth quarter. The seniors who played the final game of their Neah-Kah-Nie High football career, included Allen, Michael Prior, Kronoff, Jeremiah Miller, Garrett Christian, John Burch and Alex Aguinaga, a rarely seen girl football player. Aguinaga had a limited role with the Pirates as she played only on special teams while participating in just a few plays each week.

“I’m proud of all the seniors and most of them played for the last four years, they’re a very dedicated group and we really appreciated them, so we’re going to miss them,” said Quintana-Rios. “It was awesome having them on the team and we were hoping to get a win for them in the final game of their Neah-Kah-Nie High School career, but we just fell a little short of that goal.” The contest also marked the final game of their Nestucca High football career for seniors Morgan, Zac Collins, Kenneth Blackburn and Quinn Hill. “We’ll miss the seniors, which is a small group, but they’ve contributed well the last four years, so that’s really cool,” said Schiewe. “I’ve been coaching them for a few years, so it’s hard to see them go and playing their last game is always something that’s a little tough for them too.” Nestucca took fourth place in the eight-team SD1 and just missed qualifying for the state playoffs by one spot in the standings, since only the top-three squads advanced. Nestucca trailed third place Knappa (5-2 SD1, 5-3 overall), Clatskanie (6-1 SD1, 6-3 overall) and league champion Gaston (7-0 SD1, 7-2 overall).

aving an undefeated season in any sport at any age level is truly a remarkable accomplishment. Now consider how amazing it would be to extend that perfect record for three straight seasons, which is exactly what the Tillamook youth football team has done. The Tillamook fifth/ sixth grade football team, guided by head coach Nate Bentham and assistant coaches A.P. Weggen, Terry Smith and Richard Reidt, has been undefeated the last three years. This group has actually never lost a game in their three-year career as they were undefeated on their fourth-grade squad as well. “This team is having an unbelievable amount of success and this group is abnormally good,” said Smith, who has coached football teams from third grade through the high school level. “The sixth graders in particular are on a level I’ve never seen

and they’re extremely physical, tough kids. We’re focusing on keeping the win streak going on for a fourth straight year too. Their success is not an accident. They deserve the credit and recognition for all of their hard work, commitment and accomplishments. Our coaching staff has stuck together with a great system and we helped build this team to where it is now.” The Tillamook fifth/ sixth grade team has a 20-0 record the last three years. They’ve dominated their opponents in the eight-team Lower Columbia Youth Football League, which includes squads in Astoria, Seaside, Knappa, Warrenton, Banks, Rainier and Ilwaco, Washington. The fifth/sixth grade team scored a total of 297 points and allowed just six points on their way to a 7-0 league mark. The squad capped the regular season with a 53-0 win at Ilwaco Oct. 21. “These kids work really hard and it’s obvious that they all really have a love for the game of football and

it’s nice that they’ve had so much success,” said Reidt, who has three sons playing on Tillamook’s youth football team. The fifth/sixth grade squad will play one more game this year in a nonleague exhibition contest Nov. 11 versus the South Coast All-Stars at Marshfield High School. The third/fourth grade team had a 6-0 record and they scored 161 points and allowed just 58. The team’s head coach is Blaise Bennett and the assistant coaches include Waymon Trent, Brian Leuthold and several volunteer coaches. The third graders attend South Prairie Elementary School in Tillamook. The fourth through sixth graders attend East Elementary School. Some of the players are in home school programs and some others attend the Tillamook Adventist School. The youth teams operate independently and they’re not affiliated with any schools.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A long time resident supports NCRD levy

ello Community, Full disclosure here, I am invested in NCRD. For 42 years, I have served or participated as a volunteer, instructor, and member. During the 70’s, I enjoyed lap swimming, teaching aqua aerobics and life guarding. In the 80’s I was one of the first volunteers for the newly formed Nehalem Bay Center gym. I was on the 20-year Vision Plan Committee in the 90’s and am currently on the budget committee. Throughout, I have participated in children’s events, gym, yoga and fitness classes – so many fitness classes. This gives me the unique perspective of someone who has been involved in some

capacity for an extended period. I have seen the facility go through many changes, from under the direction of the school district to TBCC and the Nehalem Bay Center and finally the organization we have today. I’ve witnessed the ups concerning our facility and feared the downs for our community. In recent years, I’ve been impressed with the board’s determination and ability to show growth. Along with this growth comes rising costs. Yet despite rising costs, the tax levy on the November ballot does not ask for an increase in operational tax but remains as it was some15 years ago! I’d like to address the cut back on the elementary school swim program. It’s true the school district has cut back its swim program for this year. That doesn’t

mean the cut back will continue into next year or the following years. I urge you to consider the whole picture, with an emphasis on the future. A final note: Because I support the tax levy, does NOT mean I disregard others whose experiences have gone poorly. I have no doubt there have been some valid concerns over the years. With any organization, there are failings. We are human – humans are imperfect- we can learn from our mistakes. Do we strip down an organization valued and utilized by so many? No, we move forward, learn from those mistakes and rectify to the best of our ability. Vote yes on the 5-year Optional Tax Levy for General Operations for NCRD. Sincerely, Margie Neilson

However, with proper management, people with diabetes can live long and healthy lives.

Tillamook Medical Minute: The Importance of Diabetes Management PAUL WELCH, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Adventist Health Tillamook

iabetes is a chronic disease that affects how the body turns food into energy. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is the most common

The importance of diabetes management Diabetes management is important for a number of reasons. First, it helps to keep blood sugar levels under control. High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves throughout the body. This damage can lead to a number of serious health complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness and nerve damage. Second, diabetes management can help prevent or delay the onset of these complications. For example, studies have shown that people with diabetes who keep their blood sugar levels under control have a lower risk of developing heart disease and stroke.

Third, diabetes management can help improve quality of life. People with diabetes who keep their blood sugar levels under control have fewer symptoms of diabetes, such as fatigue, thirst and frequent urination. They are also more likely to be able to enjoy all of the activities that they want to do. What can people with diabetes do? There are a number of things that people with diabetes can do to effectively manage their disease. These include: Eating a healthy diet: People with diabetes should eat a healthy diet that is low in processed foods, sugary drinks and saturated and unhealthy fats. Instead, they should focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Exercising regularly: Exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. People with diabetes should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise most days of the week. Taking medication as prescribed: People with diabetes

may need to take medication, such as oral medications or insulin, to help control their blood sugar levels. It is important to take medication as prescribed by your doctor. Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly: Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly is important for people with diabetes to make sure that their blood sugar levels are under control. People with diabetes can monitor their blood sugar levels using a blood glucose meter. In addition to the above, regular diabetes eye exams are essential for people with diabetes to protect their vision. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This damage can lead to diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults in the United States. The importance of mental health care People with diabetes are at an increased risk for mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. This is due to a number of factors, including the stress

Additional tips for managing diabetes: Don’t smoke: Smoking damages blood vessels and can make it more difficult to control blood sugar levels.

Halloween potluck was held at the Barbara Bennett Community Center on October 28. 22 individuals showed up, most in costume. We had Superman, Ken and Barbie, a paleontologist, several chefs, a military couple, cowgirls and a cowboy, a can-can girl with a Frenchman and some simply scary-looking folks. Food was delicious, as always, and everyone had a good time. BJ Byron made an announcement at the potluck: She and Kathy Burke are looking for a new team to take over putting on the potlucks. This dynamic duo has hosted them for about seven years (BJ alone going back 21 years), and it’s time to pass the baton. They say it is fun, not hard, and they will show you the ropes. Feel free to contact them at kkburke73@gmail.com or bjbyron66@yahoo.com for more information. There were some other rollicking good times going on in Cape Meares in late October. A bridal shower for Pam Robenolt took place at Wendy Kunkel’s house, with about 15 attendees celebrating the bride-to-be. Good eats and drinks, fun party games, and some unbelievable gifts. The party theme was “naughty and nice,” so

Coming on the heels of the bridal shower was an outing to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie, shown right here at the Tillamook Coliseum Theater. Neighbor Kathy Burke and I thoroughly enjoyed the show, dressed as we were in some of the Eras’ theme colors and sporting friendship bracelets. Our granddaughters aren’t the only Swifties now. A shout-out to Regina Sackrider, who got to see a live performance in Seattle this summer. She said it was an awesome experience. Cape Meares residents Pam Robenolt, Valerie Jenkins and Kirsten Blair are coordinating an effort to produce a Cape Meares cookbook. They are collecting favorite recipes to put in a cookbook that will be

sold for about $20 at future potlucks, with all funds raised going to the Cape Meares Community Association. Their goal is to assemble 120 recipes, ranging from appetizers to soups and salads, main and side dishes to desserts. Surely you have a favorite family recipe to share. Send your recipe to capemearescookbook@ gmail.com; feel free to include a photo, if you’d like. If you have questions or want to know other ways you can help, use the same email address. The deadline for recipe submission is November 14, 2023. The times, they are a changin’. Or, rather, the signs, they are a changin’. The intersection of Bayocean Road and Cape Meares Loop Road is now a three-way stop. This is a great safety improvement not only for those entering and leaving Cape Meares, but for folks launching their boats at the boat ramp as well as those fishing off the shore of Cape Meares Lake. The idea for a three-way stop came out of the community planning sessions held in Cape Meares with the help of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. Many thanks to Chris Laity and the Tillamook Public Works Dept. for being open to this suggestion and quickly implementing it.

t’s amazing how quickly we go from pumpkins to candy canes here in Rockaway Beach. With our first-annual Halloweentown behind us, we’re already starting to look forward through the end of the year. Let’s start with a recap of the Halloweentown decoration awards, given out to three homes and three businesses who did the most to create a festive atmosphere for the weekend. Third place in the commercial category went to Joe’s Snacks & Beer, 101 S. Miller Street. Joe’s went for a fun autumn theme with pumpkins, plus a few friendly ghosts. Second place was Simply Charming, 130 N. Highway 101. The elaborate handmade wooden cutouts featuring witches, owls, spooky trees, and other icons of the season made chilling silhouettes inside the shop windows. First place was Grumpy’s Cafe, 202 N Highway 101. For weeks, Grumpy’s has been adding to the store of skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and unnameable horrors—all in good fun, of course. Residential winners included third-place Sandra Van Skike-Mickey, Patty Balius in second, and firstplace Gary & Heidi Stevenson. All contestants entered via email, and judges made a loop through town to choose their favorite. Thanks to all who participated. Many downtown window displays were painted by the Rockaway Renaissance Artists group, headed by muralist Jill Collar. Members Rolf Birchfield and Linda Johnson assisted her, with help from Chris Williams and Louise Sargent. Painting the insides of

ROCKAWAY BEACH SCOTT FISHER sfisher71@yahoo.com the window takes a special technique. “You have to do the highlights first, because you’re painting backwards,” said Jill. Each window took three to four hours work by two or three artists. Several windows in town were painted with festive winter gnomes as well as brilliant pumpkins, to help the paintings stay current through the end of the year. The Renaissance Artists are also preparing for Rockaway’s Holiday Bazaar, held the first weekend in December. The Bazaar will feature work from a number of artists and vendors. At press time, the location remains undecided. Hours for the Bazaar: Friday, December 1, 1-7 p.m.; Saturday, December 2, 10 a.m.—6 p.m.; and Sunday, December 3, 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. Other holiday art events in town include the Rockaway Beach Friends of the Library gift table. As in years past, gifts donated by Rockaway residents will be available for purchase, typically at modest prices. The intention is to give children a place to buy gifts for family and friends, without having to spend too much. Typical gifts include holiday ornaments, decor items, and other objects that represent a heartfelt gift at this festive time of year. The library will set up the gift table Sunday, November

19, with gifts available for sale beginning Tuesday, November 21. If you have donations you’d like to make, contact the Friends of the Library at (503) 355-2665 or by email at friendsrockawaybeachlibrary@gmail.com. On Monday, November 13 at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 276 Highway 101 S, the final meeting of the Community and Destination Planning Workshop with Nan Devlin of the Tillamook County Visitors Association will take place. According to Nan Devlin of the Tillamook County Visitors Association, this meeting will “take a deeper dive into what each project is, why we want it, who will lead it, how it will be done, and where the money will come from.” The outcome of this meeting will be voting on and ranking projects. “We recommend that you pick three things and do them right away,” Devlin said. As with other events at City Hall, this meeting will be available on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. For more information, see the City’s Web site, http://corb.us, and scroll down to the Calendar. And finally, Meals for Seniors is hosting a Thanksgiving community dinner on Thursday, November 23, from 2 to 4 p.m. As with their weekday lunches, this will be held in the dining hall of St. Mary By the Sea Church, 279 S. Pacific. The following Saturday will be another of their popular French Toast Breakfasts, 8 a.m. to noon. These events are a wonderful way to experience fellowship and community, and to support an organization that does so much for so many in Rockaway Beach.

s planned, I carved the sizable orange pumpkin that I bought from Farmer Creek Gardens on Monday and my roommate Leo carved his “Blue Doll.” Each Jack-o-lantern has a wide smile and smallish eyes. Leo’s has ears and mine is accented with stars. We lit tea lights inside them to welcome trick or treaters on Halloween night. Seven costumed visitors tromped up the porch steps over the course of the evening. I stepped out at one point to survey the neighborhood. Only one other porch light was glowing; hats off to Dean and Laurie Bones! Pumpkin seeds are roasting in the oven as I write, they smell like fall. Let’s share some news. Thanks to Hebo’s own Wally Nelson for word that Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts will kick off the holiday season with a performance that starts this Friday night, November 3. “A Nice Family Gathering,” written by Phil Olson and directed by Ann Harper will run weekends through November 19. Friday and Saturday night shows are set for 7 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. The cast includes Matthew Bergkamp, Karen Downs, Sarajane Elkins, Fred Foster, Jeannie Foster and Steve Lewis. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for youth 12 and under and are available at tillamooktheater. com or at the door. There is no school for Nestucca’s K-8 School on Wednesday, November 8. A Family Resource Fair will happen concurrently with parent-teacher conferences at the K-8 building from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. that day. Repre-

sentatives from CARE inc.., Columbia Pacific C.C.O., Consejo Hispano/Hispanic Council, Nestucca Valley School District, S.O.S. Tillamook, Tides of Change and Tillamook County Community Health Centers, among several others, will be available to inform and assist families in their areas of expertise. There is no school for Nestucca Schools (district wide) on Thursday, November 9. Let’s save the date for Nesko Women’s monthly meeting, which is planned for Friday, November 16, at Kiawanda Community Center. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. at 34600 Cape Kiawanda Drive in Pacific City. November is a great time to join the philanthropic group, which is open to any woman residing in South Tillamook County. Plans will be underway to spread holiday cheer throughout our community. Watch this space for details next week. While we’re marking our calendars, let’s make a red circle around Saturday, December 2. That space on my kitchen calendar is decorated with a Christmas sticker, because it’s Bazaar Saturday in South Tillamook County. We appreciate Sandra Dust,

who is part of the Alter Society at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 34560 Parkway Drive, Cloverdale (my own neighborhood) writing of their upcoming Bazaar. It’s planned for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. that first Saturday in December. A $5 jewelry open house is planned next door to the church (34550 Parkway Drive) from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Kiawanda Community Center will host a Bazaar as well (their address is included above). Details will appear in future columns. Our calendars won’t include a Midway Chorus Messiah concert in Tillamook or Lincoln City this holiday season. Ron Watson, our indefatigable leader, recently posted to Facebook that both the choir’s conductor and its pianist have moved out of state and many have departed the orchestra due to moves, infirmity or death over the Covid years. Albert Thompson, M.D. (a former conductor) has agreed to lead the choir in 2024. An orchestra is being gathered. Rehearsals are weekly from October through November. The performances have traditionally been the first and second weekends in December in Tillamook and Lincoln City respectively. If you or someone in your orbit play piano or an instrument in the orchestra (and would like to participate) contact me using the information provided near my photo in this space. Happy birthday this week to: Clara Blum, Zakai Chatelain, Jennifer Fitch, Bobby Haltiner, Anita Ihnat, Kristen Kendrick, Katie Lane, Brooklyn McKillip, Marlene Trent and Travis Woods.

ity Hall flags were flown at half-mast last week for Tommy White, as well as for those who participated and supported in the search efforts. His celebration of life was conducted at Garibaldi Portside Bistro on Sunday, November 5th, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Crab Rock Pizza, Tommy’s employer for the past year, was also closed during this time so the staff could attend. Donations to the Gierga family have been a beautiful thing to see. The Giergas ask for financial donations to Garibaldi Fire & Rescue in Tommy’s memory in lieu of flowers. More importantly, the Giergas have been overwhelmed with relief to see how significantly Tommy’s life impacted so many others. On behalf of them, I thank you for y’all’s kindness. The new railroad crossing on 3rd St. is finished and taking on traffic. I’ve driven over it, white-knuckled, in anticipation of how it used to feel riding over. It doesn’t feel that way anymore. The crossing itself is smoother than

GARIBALDI NATHAN “FINN” FINDLING finn@natfinn.com some of the roads in town. It’s still a bit rough once you get back to the south side of the crossing, but incredible progress to this point. During Halloween, Katie and I took the toddler twins to Garibaldi Fire & Rescue for their ‘Trunk or Treat’ event. Even better than the candy was the sight of our daughter getting up into a fire truck and learning how all the buttons and do-dahs work. I take that back; the best part was Deputy Chief Paulsen spinning pirouettes in the driveway to teach my daughter to do the same. Good to see he’s still so nimble. (And yes, I have the video to prove it.) As the event wrapped up, Myra McCormick reminded us of the children’s event going on at God’s Lighthouse. Katie walked them over and I drove the (family, not fire) truck over. The church members were so friendly. There were goodie bags and baked goods including cheesecake cupcakes that I likely gained a pound on by just looking at them because they were so decadent. And games that helped the kids burn off all the Halloween sugar. My son tested them for peak efficiency. The Saturday before, we took the toddler twins over to the Garibaldi Maritime Museum for the scavenger hunt. Now, while only two, they had tons of fun stomping around on the second floor in their cowboy boots, weav-

ing around the other kids in the rooms like ambulance drivers. That said, they truly seemed enamored by the exhibits, which is a testament to the museum. By the way, very sneaky y’all, sending us out to find letters to a word that had multiples of the same letter. Katie and I spent five minutes telling each other, “But I found that letter here…” Abbot & Costello would have been proud. We are looking forward to what else they have in store during the holiday season. All in all, for a fishing village of 840 who claim residency, and an average age of 56, it was nice to see the kids have a fun filled Halloween. She’s got a quiet week, and that’s good because she deserves the rest. She’s everybody’s favorite local librarian, June Ekborg. “Quiet week at the library coming up. Regular storytimes are back on Friday. Saturday, all library branches will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. The virtual library continues to be available 24/7 at www.tillabook. org.” Lastly, I do have a couple interviews in the pipeline, but given the tragedy that transpired here, none of us wanted to look ahead. We still don’t. Many of us are still grieving. “Heal,” still sounds like a four-letter word and those who dare speak it risk scorn and rebuke. We each have our own proprietary concoctions of vice, indulgence or denial for dealing with the nightmare. We’re not better. We’re not okay. We’re not looking ahead. But we’ll survive. We hold our kids a little tighter. We let our conversations linger a little longer. We appreciate what is around a little more passionately because we’ve been reminded in stark contrast that anything could be gone in a moment’s notice.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Clean Water response letter

n reading Dave Wells’ Oct. 10 “Working . Forests” letter to the editor, I’m compelled to share the following: I imagine, Mr. Wells, that you advise your to private, non-industrial clients y regarding forest management well, and I have searched for the Oregon Wild timber harBa-vest in watersheds analysis s you mention in your letter. I ill believe I found it, my apologies if this is not it (nothing was cited in your letter save the topic and Oregon Wild), specifically https://ntrs.nasa. gov/citations/20230012190 n, This analysis published August 11, 2023, by NASA, k with data gathered in partnership with Oregon Wild, examined 80 Oregon coast ny drinking watersheds and found approximately 31% had been logged (mostly clear-cut, little thinning). The opening paragraph states: ed Logging operations are n widespread across the Or. egon Coast Range and conm ventional logging practices r. pose a risk of contamination - to surface water* quality. The NASA DEVELOP m- Oregon Coast Ecological ln Conservation team partnered with nonprofit Oregon Wild to quantify the extent of he clearcutting and commercial o thinning in 80 Coast Range ng drinking watersheds between

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

2000 and 2022. (... technical terms, Landsat, data gathering devices, algorithms, etc. explained …) Ultimately, this study identified the drinking watersheds and communities most likely to be impacted by logging activity. These results can inform legislation aimed at balancing the commercial and environmental benefits of forestlands. *Over 80% of Oregonians have surface water source (ODEQ) The analysis covers a lot and includes extensive photos. I am noting the following because I became very concerned about our drinking water upon moving here and have educated myself extensively regarding watersheds, from hydrology to economics to habitat; my conclusion is that our watershed stewardship must improve (and has been inadequate too often) for watersheds surrounded by privately-owned commercial forests here on the coast: In discussion with partner organization Oregon Wild, the <NASA> team determined that commercial thinning operations do not typically occur on privately managed lands … Functionally, the primary logging activity on private <commercial> land is clearcutting, and little to no commercial thinning. … The watershed with the most clearcutting was Rockaway Beach where 78% of the forest area was clearcut (over the study period 2000-2022)

… Seaside watershed 56% clearcut. Mr. Wells, I respectfully submit to you that drinking water (or any) watersheds should not be clear-cut nor sprayed. You noted in your letter that Oregon’s forest practice laws were recently updated to expand protections for water, no-harvest areas around streams, added new requirements for harvest on steep slopes, and I won’t get started about your herbicide and aerial-spraying comments. Why do you think the above protections are “recent”? If you hike up the logging roads in Jetty Creek watershed, as I have, you will see clearcuts as well as harvested steep slopes (and be advised that aerial spraying of those slopes has occurred.) I support our timber industry, no question - I also believe (as the analysis I believe you referenced states), “These results can inform legislation aimed at balancing the commercial and environmental benefits of forestlands“ by having “progressive, science-based forest practice laws” (your words). Drinking and habitat water protection, therefore watersheds, is imperative and needs to improve … and be enforced. I hope you agree, sir. Sincerely, Nancy Laga Lanyon Rockaway Beach, Oregon

LETTER TO THE EDITOR vote yes on NCRD levy

ou’ve probably seen the bright yellow NCRD √ yes signs? And you probably know what they’re asking? In case not, let me remind you. We’re asking you to vote for the North County Recreation District (NCRD). A YES vote will enable NCRD to continue operating at its current level. Why should we want NCRD to continue its current operations? ** Because NCRD is a hub of the North County communities. ** Because NCRD provides kids numerous experiences, including after-school care, youth sports, summer

A11

camp, arts and crafts, the school swim program, family swim, and special events for all ages. ** Because NCRD provides a fitness center for working out, and fitness classes and programs such as, yoga, group strength for seniors, Tai Chi, etc. ** Because NCRD has a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center offering musical events, live theater, and other special events ** Because NCRD provides aquatics classes and programs for all ages, including adult aqua aerobics, aqua yoga, lap swimming, water walking, etc. ** Because NCRD sponsors special events, such as art shows, craft shows, speakers, etc. ** Because NCRD staff and teachers are part of our

community and are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Final question: what can we do to help NCRD? Answer: vote yes on November 7 for the 5-year renewable operating levy. The levy will be used to continue to support NCRD’s daily operations, maintenance, classes, activities, and programs. The operating-levy rate on the ballot is the same rate NCRD has had for the last fifteen years. Our levy rate will not go up with a YES vote, and this levy will not be used for the new pool which will be funded by a Capital Campaign and timber tax revenue. Please vote yes for NCRD. Barbara Scott-Brier Manzanita

Encouragement to vote yes on NCRD levy

of NCRD, I think of the countless hours spent water walking in the pool, many memorable events at the NCRD Theater (It’s a Wonderful Life, Mel Brown, Maria Muldaur, Nancy Pearl,…), community group meetings in the Fireside Room, yoga classes, and much more. As a Pickleball player, I am forever grateful to NCRD for stepping up to build an outstanding Pickleball facility that is enjoyed by people from ages eight to

eighty. If voters fail to renew the operating levy on the November 7 ballot, NCRD’s program services would be cut by about half. That would make all of us poorer. The ballot measure will not create a new tax, it will only continue the existing tax at the same rate that has been in effect for many years. Sincerely, Steve Brier

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reasons to vote yes on NCRD levy

it will not. The tax rate remains the same. The tax rate is exactly what it was 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Yes, is a vote for all of the above and operational costs. Please support this amazing facility. Michelle Vinciguerra Nehalem resident

APN: 65949 1S1002BB04000 LOT 1, 2, 3, 7 AND 8, BLOCK 10, FULLER’S ADDITION TO BAY CITY, IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY, OREGON. Commonly known as: 8726 11TH ST, BAY CITY, OR 97107 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $54,477.17 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $192,097.47 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 11/1/2019, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due (if applicable) for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of

Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale.

“Hi, they call me Butler. No, I’m not the butler who did it. I’m the Butler that would love moving in with you. I’m a six year old, 16-pound bundle of sweetness. I’m very loving, friendly, and vocal. I had a nice home for many years, but my nice human mom passed away recently. I have some new friends that are taking care of me, but I can’t move in with them because they already have five that they adopted, and six would be too many. I can get along with other cats, but maybe not dogs and kids. You can ask those questions of the nice United Paws ladies. So, if you have a nice quiet house and need an older ‘fat cat’ to fill your heart and lap, just fill out and submit this application. We’ll both be happy.” https://unitedpaws. wordpress.com/onlineadoption-application
