Yamamoto celebrated at retirement soiree WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Commissioner Yamamoto opening gifts at his retirement reception at the Tillamook Creamery Association.
riends, family and colleagues gathered at the Red Barn at the Tillamook County Creamery Association on December 13, to celebrate retiring Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto’s career in public service. After enjoying light refreshments courtesy of the creamery, attendees gave Yamamoto gifts and shared some of their favorite stories from working with him. Yamamoto announced his early retirement from the county commissionership in August, citing a desire to enjoy retirement and travel before age precluded those possibilities. Doug Olson was selected to replace Yamamoto for the final year of his term in October and will assume the position at the beginning of 2024. A group of county commissioners from around northwest Oregon made the trip to Tillamook to fete Yamamoto, included Linn County Commissioner Will Tucker, Columbia County Commissioner Margaret Magruder and Washington County Commissioner Jerry
Wiley. Tucker told the crowd that Yamamoto had a knack for marketing, telling the story of three lawsuits in which Linn County has been the defendant during the past decade. Tucker said that two of the suits ended up in big wins for Linn County but noted that coverage had focused on Tillamook’s role in the cases, while in the final case, a loss, all credit went to Linn County. Magruder told the story of giving Yamamoto a wig of dreadlocks to wear at this year’s Association of Oregon Counties meeting and said that she would miss his leadership on timber and other issues facing the counties. Staffers and partners from across Tillamook County also came out to share their well wishes, with both Commissioners Erin Skaar and Mary Faith Bell attending, as well as Sheriff Josh Brown, Tillamook County Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty, Tillamook County Director of Community Development Sarah Absher, Tillamook County Treasurer Shawn Blanchard, Port of Tillamook Bay General Manager Michele Bradley SEE YAMAMOTO PAGE A2
Commissioners Board of Forestry and rename roads FTLAC discuss forest management plan T WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor
illamook’s Board of County Commissioners approved name changes for roads in Pacific City and Oceanside at their meeting on December 13, renaming the roads Dorymen’s Way and Lighthouse Road. The commissioners also approved a $26,500 professional services agreement with Solid Ground Consulting to update the county health department’s strategic plan. The name change in Cape Meares was made to account for the recent reopening of Cape Meares Loop Road on a new alignment. A portion of the old alignment, which was knocked out in a landslide in 2013, has remained in use as an access to Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge in the intervening years and was renamed Lighthouse Road from the intersection with the new Cape Meares Loop Road to the refuge’s entrance. In Pacific City, the unimaginatively named Cape Kiwanda Beach Access Road was renamed Dorymen’s Way in recognition of its use by Dorymen to access the beach and launch their craft. The road runs through the Cape Kiwanda State Park parking lot and is erroneously marked on some maps and Hungry Harbor Road, an appellation given by the owners of a restaurant of the same name that closed in the 1990s. The commissioners noted that the new name better reflected the curtailed use that is now allowed at the access point, after personal vehicles were banned from driving on the beach in Pacific City in recent years. The Cape Meares Community Association asked for the commissioners to support a letter
requesting a transient lodging tax grant for the construction of a path in their community, but commissioners declined. The proposed path would have provided access to several benches on county property, but the commissioners said that with recent court rulings removing recreational immunity for government bodies on access trails, the county’s insurer, CIS, and legal counsel recommended against building such a path. They noted that they would not be opposed to deeding the land to the Cape Meares Community Association to pave the way for them to build the path in the future. The commissioners also mentioned that county staff were in the process of inventorying all the county’s paths to identify potential issues outside of beach access points already addressed by public works. Commissioner Erin Skaar said that she had been in contact with Governor Tina Kotek’s office about the county’s emergency declaration on the day before the meeting and had been told a state emergency declaration was imminent. She said that the declaration would allow for funds to be sent directly to HB Civil, the firm undertaking work on a new bridge on Miami Foley Road to replace a culvert that washed out in the storms. On December 14, the governor’s office put out a statement saying that Oregon’s State Resilience Officer and the Department of Emergency Management were working closely with Tillamook County officials to evaluate the ongoing needs of the county in the wake of the storm. The statement said that state officials would continue to help in the process of securing federal funds for the recovery effort. Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said that work on the Miami Foley bridge project was progressing at an astonishing pace, which she likened to a Christmas Miracle. She said that the bridge should be passable to emergency vehicles by December 14, 8 days after the washout, and open to the public by December 21. SEE RENAMED ROADS PAGE A7

T
he Oregon Board of Forestry and members of the Forest Trust Lands Advisory Committee met on December 14 to discuss recently released modeling results and their impacts on the counties that rely on state forest revenues and the department of forestry. Members of both groups quickly homed in on excess habitat protections for the northern spotted owl as an area of concern and signaled their intention to work together to dampen the economic impacts of the new plans. The meeting began with an address from Oregon Board of Forestry Chair Jim Kelly who discussed the next steps that would happen following the joint meeting. Kelly said that throughout the process of developing a new habitat conservation plan (HCP) and forest management plan (FMP) for the state forests, the board had received well over 4,000 pieces of written testimony and heard more than 700 public commenters. Kelly said that while the board wanted to honor the public process, the voluminous correspondence risked bogging down the rest of their agenda. He said that two hours of public testimony on the matter would be included at the board’s January meeting and that department staff would schedule three listening sessions to allow for more feedback in the new year. The meeting then moved into a presentation by Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) staffers on the new modeling that largely mirrored the one given the week before to the FTLAC. The presentation showed that across all state forests revenue would drop somewhere between $21 and $28 million dollars annually and that the department had taken a conservative approach to species protection, with different planned scenarios protecting between 15% and 30% excess acreage of northern spotted owl
habitat. Board of Forestry members were then allowed to ask questions about the presentation and quickly focused in on the excess protected habitat. Board Member Joe Justice was the first to chime in and asked for clarification about the decision to remove between 55% and 70% of possible northern spotted owl habitat from harvest when the HCP process only called for protection of 40%. Department staff responded that the decision was made to account for unforeseen occurrences like wildfires or climate change destroying some of the habitat without putting the plans’ compliance with federal law in jeopardy. Board Member Ben Deumling said that he was concerned that the latest modeled numbers did not include allowances for climate change, fires or other disasters. Deumling said that the lack of such consideration made him doubt that even the already-worrisome harvest projections would be fulfilled and that he felt the model was looking through “rose-colored goggles.” State Forests Division Chief Mike Wilson said that accounting for such exigent events in long-term modeling was not possible. Wilson said that the department generally included those considerations in implementation plans, which have a 10-year period versus the FMP’s 70. Board Member Karla Chambers chimed in that by not including those factors, the proposed HCP and FMP were failing at their main goals increasing certainty of harvest outcomes and reducing risk of revenue loss for the trust land counties and ODF. The meeting then moved into a discussion between the board and members of the FTLAC, mediated by Sylvia Civorowski from Kearns and West. Civorowski had a group of questions to promote dialogue that she had shared with the FTLAC prior to the meeting, allowing the
group to coordinate its replies and designate members to respond to each. Columbia County Commissioner Margaret Magruder kicked off the discussion, saying that the FTLAC commissioners had come up with an extensive list of questions for Wilson, which he had answered in 15 written pages. Magruder said that the group would probably have more questions going forward but appreciated Wilson’s responsiveness as well as the opportunity to have a conversation with the board. Linn County Commissioner William Tucker said that one of the biggest concerns for FTLAC members was that the newly modeled harvest numbers would not bear out in more specific implementation plans. Tucker pointed to the number of disclaimers and caveats offered by staff during the presentation, as well as the lack of consideration for exigent circumstanes, as the reason for this concern. Tucker also brought up the question of excess conservation acreage being dedicated to the northern spotted owl. He suggested that some of the area outside of habitat conservation areas being dedicated to the purpose could be harvested to decrease revenue cuts for the counties and ODF. Wilson said again that the habitat conservation commitments had been crafted to account for uncertainty but that adjustments could be made to increase harvests at the direction of the board. Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar turned the focus to the impacts that revenue cuts would have, asking how ODF was planning to maintain operations when its revenues from state forests fell by 30%. Justice said that the Board of Forestry did not control the purse strings of ODF and that it would be the purview of Salem legislators to cover any shortfall with additional SEE FOREST MANAGEMENT PAGE A4

Bay City seeking applicants for mayor WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

nterim Bay City Mayor Kathleen Baker announced that she planned to step down from the position as soon as possible at the city council’s December 12 meeting, to allow the appointment of someone with more time to dedicate to the role until a new mayor is elected. The council also approved an increase in sanitary service rates, updated the

McCall said that he would have an application for the position uploaded to the city’s website shortly.

city’s public contracting rules and updated the city’s continuity of governance plan. Baker took over as mayor in June of this year after former Mayor David McCall resigned the position to assume the role of city manager for the city. Baker said that with her fulltime job she was unable to dedicate adequate time to the mayoralty but that she planned to continue serving as the council’s president. Baker said that she had
The council approved the rate increase, under which curbside pickup of one trashcan will cost $21 monthly, while non-curbside service will run $23 a month. The update to public contracting rules was made to bring the city’s rules in line with the Oregon Attorney General’s model rules. The most substantial changes were increases in the threshold for direct awards from $10,000 to $20,000 and for intermediate procurement from $150,000 to $250,000.
Direct awards can be made by city staff without fielding bids, while the intermediate awards will require an attenuated bidding process, without public noticing requirements, and council approval. The updated continuity of governance plan establishes a chain of command for city departments when dealing with emergent or disaster situations. The plan establishes a communication and decision flow chart for the city’s government,
administration, and public works and fire departments and evaluates the threat of risks ranging from union strikes, to bomb threats to high winds. The council also started the process of naming a committee to select the annual John Gettman Community Service Award honoree in the new year and tentatively set the date for the state of the city presentation for April 20.
Rockaway Beach City Manager receives raise WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor
R
ockaway Beach’s City Council approved an 8% raise for City Manager Luke Shepard at their December 14 meeting, following a positive performance review and to bring his compensation in line with other coastal city managers. The council also awarded two additional community grants to the Friends of the Rockaway Beach Library and Fulcrum Community Resources for the benefit of North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection. Shepard’s raise came in conjunction with his performance review, which was conducted in executive session before general feedback was
shared in public session. Mayor Charles McNeilly said that he and the other councilors had completed a form ranking Shepard’s performance in 50 traits, across ten categories, on a five-point scale and offering written responses to four categories. McNeilly said that Shepard had exceeded the performance standard in seven of the ten categories and met the performance standard in the remaining three, averaging a 4.1 on the five-point scale across all 50 traits. Shepard, who has served as city manager since 2019, had been making about $10,000 less annually than the average salary of 16 city managers in comparable cities on the coast, according to a compensation study
undertaken by McNeilly. McNeilly said that he believed Shepard’s strong performance, especially in the recruitment and retention of highly qualified staff in a strained labor market, warranted bringing his salary in line with his fellow managers. Councilors heartily agreed and those who had served on previous councils noted that they should have adjusted Shepard’s salary sooner. The council also approved a 6% annual cost-of-living adjustment for Shepard, which Shepard said was a standard feature in city manager contracts. With the cost-of-living adjustment, which went into effect immediately, Shepard’s salary jumped to $120,840, and the 8% adjustment will bring it to $130,503
on January 1. Shepard also receives an annual 5% retention bonus in January. The Friends of Rockaway Beach Library were awarded a $5,577.50 community grant to purchase and install a new flagpole and flag at the library and to fund a mailing campaign to attract more patronage. Fulcrum Community Resources applied for and was awarded a $4,567.50 grant for the benefit of North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection. The group will use those funds to host a three-part speaker series on safeguarding and restoring drinking watersheds that will take place from January through March at St. Mary’s by the Sea Catholic Church. Funding for the community grants comes from the city’s transient room
tax. A final application for $1,000 from Tillamook County Developmental Disability Program was asked to provide more information about the allocation of funds for a summer picnic, scheduled for June 27. Shepard also shared that the city had received a surprise community assistance visit from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), essentially an audit of the city’s floodplain management program. The visiting officials recommended updates to several portions of the city code and the establishment of an outreach program, which Shepard said had already been initiated. Overall, however, they
found that the city’s program had greatly improved since their last visit. Shepard said that he planned to apply to community rating systems, a division of FEMA that rates municipalities’ flood plain management for insurance purposes, for a reassessment of Rockaway Beach’s rating and the expected a 10-15% reduction in flood insurance rates to result. Shepard also shared that Verizon installed a new, temporary generator at their cellular tower site in Rockaway Beach on November 10, restoring cell service during power outages for the community after an old generator was rendered inoperable late in 2022.

and State Senator Suzanne Weber. Eric Swanson, director of Adventist Health Tillamook, presented Yamamoto with an award for all his efforts to promote public wellness in the county during his career and said that Yamamoto had always kept him on his toes during weekly community briefing calls. “I love what I do, I am going to miss this so much,” Yamamoto told the crowd. “There are 27,000 people in Tillamook Bounty but the things that we get done in Tillamook County are amazing.” Yamamoto was first elected to the board of county commissioners in 2017 and has prided himself on his work supporting the natural-resource based economy of Tillamook County. One of Yamamoto’s favorite things to say as commissioner was that when it comes to modern forestry, dairy and fishing practices, nobody does it better than Tillamook County, and he worked tirelessly to increase awareness around that message across the state and nation. The day of the party marked one of Yamamoto’s last days working in-person, as he plans to attend the final two commissioners’ meetings of the year remotely. Yamamoto and his wife, Terry, will reside in Henderson, Nevada, where they have owned a home since 2020, and the couple plans to travel extensively in their retirement. Yamamoto said that the couple have already planned their first trip to Cancun and that while relinquishing the commissionership was the hardest decision of his life, he loved his wife more than his job.

ODOT to maintain winter service levels with funds from legislature WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor
F
orecast cuts to the Oregon Department of Transportation’s winter services will not be necessary after Salem legislators approved $19 million in additional funding in early December. The funding will be distributed across the department’s statewide operation according to need,
but residents of Tillamook County can expect a normal level of winter services on their roads. “All those areas are going to get a better eye and better use of overtime funds to allow us to make those roads safer,” said Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOTT) Public information Officer Mindy McCartt. In November, ODOT officials began alerting local governments and residents
across the state that due to a funding shortfall caused by increasingly efficient vehicles, the agency would not have the funding necessary to offer its regular winter services. A pamphlet from ODOT published in November said that ongoing maintenance work and striping projects would be suspended and that measures to prevent ice buildup on roads would be curtailed through the winter
season. But, on December 4, Governor Tina Kotek, Senate President Rob Wagner and House Speaker Dan Rayfield announced that the legislature had committed $19 million to restore fullservice levels. McCartt said that the $19 million will allow ODOT to resume standard service across the state and restart the procurement process for new snowplows, which had
also been put on hold amid the funding shortfall. $8 million of the funding will be used to pay for overtime to allow staff to maintain roads, $7 million is set aside for road maintenance work and the remaining $4 million will be used for the new snowplows. Tillamook residents can expect winter road maintenance at the same level as in past years and for maintenance projects
to continue, according to McCartt. McCartt also said that the legislature’s decision to step in to bridge the gap in funding had been appreciated by ODOT staff and given them hope that the legislature would address their falling funding levels in the next legislative session.
Commissioner and FTLAC Chair John Sweet implored the board to continue working with the FTLAC on the plans’ development going forward, saying that communication was key to success. Sweet said he felt the relationship between the board and FTLAC had improved over time and he wanted to make sure that trend continued. Justice and Chambers thanked the FTLAC members for participating in the conversation and said that they valued their input and wanted to continue building the relationship going forward. Oregon State Forester Cal Mukumoto said that his staff would begin looking at decreasing the protections for 2-4pm The holidays can mean added demands on caregivers for older adults, and here northern spotted owl habitat holidays mean added demands and here at Prestige Senior LivingThe Five Rivers,can we’re here to help with a on freecaregivers resource for older adults, at Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers, we’re here to help with a free resource page on our website at www.prestigecanhelp.com. in response the consensus page on our website at www.prestigecanhelp.com.

Skaar said that the new HCP, even with potential modifications, was likely to force the counties and department to go to the legislature to seek funding and that presenting a unified front in Salem would be critical. Skaar continued that minimizing the economic impacts of the HCP to make sure that any funding ask was as low as possible was key. She said that she believed it would be possible with a good message to convince Oregonians outside the forest trust land counties to support an alternate funding model. Mukumoto finished the meeting by saying that the department would schedule three listening sessions, two in-person and one virtual, with dates hopefully to be determined in January. He also said that the department needed to reach out to the sovereign nations affected by the plan to gather their input.
FOREST MANAGEMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 appropriations. Wilson said that the department was already in a situation where its revenues did not match its budget and that the agency was undertaking austerity measures, such as leaving vacancies unfilled and prioritizing more profitable timber sales. Wilson said that the department was used to revenue shortfalls, although
they did lead to service gaps. Skaar wondered if the projected revenue cuts caused by the HCP would prevent the effective implementation of the HCP. Wilson said that was a concern and that department staff were investigating the potential for federal funding to make up the shortfall. Clatsop County Commissioner Courtney
Jacob Torres Bilingual Real Estate Broker
Bangs asked the board to direct staff to reduce the excess habitat protections for northern spotted owls to dampen the economic impacts of an HCP. Bangs said that she and the other FTLAC commissioners appreciated the need for an HCP and pointed out that the plan could be altered to account for future changes on the landscape.
Bangs also said that she was dubious that northern spotted owls could make strong returns in Oregon forests, citing the decades of protection they have received on federal lands with limited success at growing their population. She asked the board to weigh the economic viability of her county against that poor record. Coos County

ack in 2004, the community was celebrating the development of the Hoquarton Interruptive Trail in Tillamook. “I had been working with the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership,” David Mattison recalled, who now works as the City Planner of Bay City. “[TEP] said they’d love to have some storytellers at the event. I said I could make up some stories to tell.” Mattison remembered that he originally wanted to create a myth about a serpentine that lived in the slough, but instead crafted the origins of Hokey the Hoquarton Troll. “It was a much darker picture of a troll,” Mattison said. “But as time went on, we had a child and you start reading little kids’ books. I wanted to lighten up on the
Hokey story.” After “sitting in his head for ages,” Mattison decided to publish the story in an illustrated book. Partnering with illustrator Nathanial Jensen, “Hokey the Hoquarton Troll” was released in 2020. Hokey, the Hoquarton Troll, lives in the mythical land of Toomallook: a place where the land meets the sea. Hokey goes on adventures with his friends, meeting ogres, elves, waddlers and trolls. Their adventures take them to each hamlet in the land of Toomallook, which are fictional versions of the villages around Tillamook Bay. “It’s a fun little adventure book for children,” Mattison said. “[People who read them], they love them. They think they’re really fun books.” Last Christmas, Mattison
published his second book, “Hokey the Hoquarton Troll’s Counting Adventure” where readers get to meet each of Hokey’s friends. Recently, Mattison had the chance to do a reading of his stories at the Bay City Library on December 15, and was a vendor at the Five Rivers Prestige Senior Living Holiday Bazaar on December 16. After the holidays, Mattison and his Hokey books will be featured at the Blue Heron’s January First Friday event on January 5. Hokey books can be purchased at the event and Mattison will be available to sign copies. Hokey books are also sold on Amazon.com, Lulu. com. and locally at Flamingo Jim’s, the Blue Heron French Cheese Company and Seaworthy Coffee in Netarts.

Oregon Supreme Court weighs arguments from senators seeking to run for reelection Five Republican senators are suing to overturn Secretary of State LaVonne GriffinValade’s ruling that they can’t run for reelection By BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle
A
s Oregon Supreme Court justices intently listened on Thursday, lawyers parsed and dissected Measure 113, a voterapproved law that bars state legislators from serving a subsequent term after at least 10 unexcused absences. Now, the state Supreme Court must decide how to rule on the challenge from five Republican senators who want to block Secretary of State LaVonne GriffinValade’s ruling that would bar them from running for reelection. The senators want to run in 2024 after participating in the GOPled walkout during the last session. The six-week walkout forced Democratic leaders to water down bills on abortion and firearms but along the way GOP senators racked up unexcused absences. Regardless of how the court rules, the justices will
have a hand in determining the future of the Oregon Senate – and who will serve in the upper chamber in the years to come. The justices didn’t rule on Thursday, but their decision is expected before the March 12 deadline for candidates to file to run for office. In a separate federal lawsuit about Measure 113, a federal judge rejected a request from three Republican senators for a preliminary injunction that would allow them to appear on the ballot. That case can still go forward, but U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken indicated she doesn’t believe the senators will successfully prove that walking out was constitutionally protected free speech. In all, 10 senators who participated in the six-week walkout are barred from serving another term of office under Measure 113, a constitutional amendment aimed at preventing a minor party from blocking legislative action. The measure punishes lawmakers who do not have approval to miss at least 10 days of work. The senators are suing Griffin-Valade over her ruling, announced in August, over allowing them to run for election. Griffin-Valade said the decision was based on the explanatory statement in the voters’ guide, news stories and court documents.
A Secretary of State attorney also told her she has the authority to reject filings from disqualified candidates. The arguments centered on semantics: Republican senators are arguing that the text of the law, as crafted, applies not to their next term of office but the following one. If the justices rule in their favor, Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-Bend, and other Republicans up for election in 2024 could run next year and serve another four-year term. They would be barred from running in 2028, however. Knopp and five other Republicans involved in the walkout – Brian Boquist of Dallas, Lynn Findley of Vale, Bill Hansell of Athena, Dennis Linthicum of Klamath Falls and Art Robinson of Cave Junction – are up for reelection in 2024. But Hansell is not planning to run again. “This court has said time and time again that when the text of enactment is capable of only one meaning, the court applies the unambiguous meaning, even though the legislative history suggests a different meaning was intended,” John DiLorenzo, Jr., an attorney representing the senators, told the court. The language in question has just 13 words: “For the term following the election after the member’s current

term is completed.” The senators argue they can run in 2024 because that election is during their term of office, not “after the member’s current term.” Their terms of office will end in January 2025. At times, inquisitive justices quizzed the attorneys. Chief Justice Meagan Flynn agreed that words could be interpreted that way. “I look at those words and my first reaction is exactly yours,” she said to DiLorenzo. “But then I ask myself how did so many people read it differently?” Senator Tim Knopp, R-Bend speaks with Attorney Dustin Buehler, with the Oregon Department of Justice, before oral arguments at the Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023. (Abigail Dollins/Statesman Journal/ pool) ‘It’s inelegant’ Meanwhile, Oregon Department of Justice attorneys defending the Secretary of State’s office asked the justices to weigh the information that voters had on hand when they cast ballots for Measure 113. That information, including the ballot title, was clear that legislators would be barred from the next election, not receive a reprieve of oneterm, they said. “What we all need to

on, then you’re left with complete interpretation of intent after the fact. And I think that’s a dangerous precedent.” Meanwhile, Republicans are planning for a potential adverse ruling. Knopp said senators are working on a “Plan B” that would have alternative Republican candidates if necessary. Linthicum and Robinson already have plans – Linthicum’s wife and Robinson’s son filed to run in their place. Knopp said none of his family members is interested in running. Buehler, the state attorney, declined in a brief statement to reporters afterwards to comment when asked how confident he was in his case. “This is obviously an issue that’s very important to the voters, voters of Oregon and to the legislative assembly,” he said. “We’re very appreciative that the court will issue a decision as soon as it can.” Oregon Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

appreciate here is if this exercise is about effectuating the intent of voters, there really is only one answer,” said Dustin Buehler, attorney-in-charge of civil appeals for the Oregon Department of Justice. He said the language was not worded perfectly and is redundant, albeit with phrasing that could be interpreted to align with what voters understood. “It’s clunky,” he said. “It’s inelegant. But it’s also a voter-approved initiative.” But DiLorenzo, in his rebuttal, said the justices must go by the text of the law, just as they would if legislators made the mistake of relying only upon inaccurate staff-written summaries before passing bills. Knopp, Linthicum, Findley and Sens. Suzanne Weber, R-Tillamook, and Daniel Bonham, R-The Dalles, filed the lawsuit. Weber, Bonham and Sens. Cedric Hayden, R-Fall Creek and Kim Thatcher, R-Keizer, also had more than 10 absences but their terms aren’t up until 2027. After the hearing, Knopp spoke to reporters. “I think the justices really only have one option here,” he said. “It’s because if you don’t support the plain language of what the constitution actually says, and what the voters voted
federal judge late on Wednesday rejected a request to restore to the ballot three Republican senators who are barred from running for reelection because they participated in a six-week walkout. U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken’s ruling denying a preliminary injunction came less than a day before the Oregon Supreme Court was scheduled to hear oral arguments in a separate state case involving senators who want to run for reelection despite a voter-approved law that sought to punish lawmakers who participate in walkouts. Oregon’s unusually high quorum requirements – two-thirds of representatives or senators must be present for the House or Senate to do business – give Republicans in the minority power to stop, or at least delay, bills supported by Democrats. “The court cannot conclude that it would be in the public interest to grant the requested injunction to allow the senator plaintiffs to effectively negate a lawfully enacted measure,” Aiken wrote. An attorney for state Sens. Brian Boquist, Cedric Hayden, Dennis Linthicum and the Republican voters and county central committees who filed the case wasn’t immediately available for comment. The federal case can move forward despite Aiken’s ruling denying a preliminary injunction, but she indicated that she doesn’t believe the plaintiffs will succeed in proving their claim that walking out was constitutionally protected free speech. The state Supreme
Court case rests on how the court interprets the text of Measure 113, the constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2022 that disqualifies legislators from serving a subsequent term following more than nine unexcused absences in a session. Senators who sued in state court contend that they’re ineligible for the term after their next term because the measure wasn’t worded clearly. Arguments in that case are scheduled before the Oregon Supreme Court in Salem on Thursday afternoon, with a decision following. The First Amendment blocks government officials from targeting individuals – including elected officials – for engaging in free speech. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last year affirmed Boquist’s complaint, stemming from a 2019 walkout, that a rule requiring him to give 12 hours notice before entering the Capitol was retaliation for his comments. He had told then-Senate President Peter Courtney that “Hell’s coming to visit you personally” if Courtney sent state police after him to compel his attendance and told reporters he told the state police superintendent to “send bachelors and come heavily armed” if they tried to arrest him. Aiken acknowledged the prior Boquist ruling but said the senators didn’t prove that the walkouts themselves were protected political speech. “However, these walkouts were not simply protests – they were an exercise of the senator plaintiffs’ official power and were meant to deprive the Legislature of the power to conduct business,” she wrote. “Whether the legislator is present in the chamber to debate and vote on a bill or absents themselves from the chamber to deny a quorum, both actions are alike in that they are an exercise of the power of the legislator’s office. The Supreme Court has held that
performing the functions of a legislator are not a personal prerogative but are instead a public trust.” She cited a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Nevada Commission on Ethics v. Carrigan, which revolved around the ethics commission censuring a city councilman who voted for a land project that had his campaign manager as a paid consultant. The court upheld the state’s ethics law, which required elected officials to recuse themselves if they had conflicts of interest and determined that a legislator’s vote belonged to the people who elected him, not the lawmaker. “In consequence, the Supreme Court ‘rejected the notion that the First Amendment confers a right to use governmental mechanics to convey a message’ and held that ‘a legislator has no right to use official powers for expressive purposes,’” Aiken wrote, quoting from the Carrigan case. She also noted that Congress has the power to force attendance, with the threat of arrest and incarceration. “If no less a body than the United States Congress may compel the attendance of its members by imprisonment without running afoul of the First Amendment, then the court cannot see how a lesser penalty, such as temporary disqualification, or the threat of temporary disqualification, for the same conduct would constitute a violation of the free speech rights of the senator plaintiffs,” Aiken wrote. The deadline to file for office is March 12. Oregon Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

NKN robotics competes in second meet KATHRYN HARMON NKN Library Media Specialist
N
KN Robotics attended Meet 2 at Hillsboro High School on Saturday, December 9, after almost a month of meetings to prepare for competition. One would think that this would mean the teams were well prepared, practiced and ready to go. Sadly, that was not the case. Last week mentors were getting more and more nervous, noticing that robots were still in various stages of incompletion, while programmers waited (less and less patiently) for finished robots so that they could get to work. Sadly, team drivers didn’t have a hope of getting uninterrupted time to test all aspects of the new features that teams had implemented before competition Saturday. This was compounded by the unfortunate alignment of a chess tournament, a trip to California that was planned last year and the fact that two club members were a Caribou and the Conductor for a Saturday dance performance of the Polar Express. Thus, it was a small group of dedicated NKN Roboticists that boarded the district van to travel to Hillsboro Saturday morning. Typically, NKN teams are among the first to complete field and robot inspection. It is a point of pride for NKN teams to bring robots that are ready to go on competition day. Meet 2 was not that day. It took NKN teams an extra 20 minutes to prepare their robots for inspection - but not as long as it took other teams. The start of competition was

Here the Menacing Muffin Dragons and the Argonauts prepare for competition. delayed for over an hour as one team had to complete repairs before being passed through inspection - and that team had major repairs to make. Talking to other team coaches it was clear that many of our teams were struggling - as the robots get more complex through the season - there is just more that can go wrong. The Argonauts had several stellar rounds where their robot managed to hang from
the rigging at the end of the round! Corben Ray designed the lead screw system with 3d printed hooks that spring up when the arms lift. The argonauts were able to lift in 3 out of 5 rounds. Once again, they ended up disabled in the first round (high centered on a pixel?) and during the final round one of the arms didn’t lift, and Karsten smartly decided to park, instead of potentially ruining the arm system by
attempting to lift the robot with one of the two arms. The World’s smallest Team added a new Middle School member this Meet, welcome Hunter! He jumped right in to help the team and even was the human player for one round of competition. Two NKN teams had plane launching capability on Saturday. TWsT and Menacing Muffin Dragons. MMD’s design looked extremely similar to TWsT’s.
Plane launching was inconsistent as TWsT struggled to settle on a consistent plane design, and MMD’s plane seemed bound and determined to get caught on the nose and end up stuck to the plane launcher. Intake designs are definitely a challenge for all teams - but have particularly plagued our teams thus far. Many thanks to NKN’s sponsors this year - Tillamook County
Creamery, Eugene Schmuck Foundation, Mudd-Nick Foundation and ORTOP. We are so thankful to have the funds to create cool robots and attend competitions.

RENAMED ROADS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 The large slide on Sand Lake Road south of Tierra Del Mar will not be repaired so speedily, Bell said. Geotechnical engineers are currently working on dual tracks to determine if there is an interim solution that would allow for the reopening of one lane while a permanent solution, being evaluated concurrently, is underway. Unlike the washout on Miami Foley Road, which occurred at a culvert whose replacement had already
been designed, allowing for an expedited work schedule, the Sand Lake Road washout will take months or years to repair. Bell said that crews are still evaluating the situation at Big Trout Bridge, where the recent flooding knocked out supports on the north side of the span, matching previous damage to supports on the south side last year. The commissioners approved an increase in the scope of a contract that had been evaluating the previous
damage to encompass the more recent issues. Finally, Bell thanked Commissioner David Yamamoto for his service on the board of commissioners, as the meeting marked the last, he would be attending in-person before his retirement at the end of the year. Skaar also thanked Yamamoto but said jokingly that she would save her full praise until he had helped her through the first six months of his retirement with ongoing phone calls.

GUEST COLUMN: GARDENING MATTERS Holiday Gift Guide
R
eaders may remember that I said I wouldn’t be writing another Gardening Matters column until after the new year, but I have had some fans ask me about my annual gift guide. I usually break it into two parts, but I will condense it this time into one column, helping with last minute gift ideas. Every gardener I know
has a selection of gardening gloves that we use for different purposes. For example, I have a pair of sueded leather gloves I use when working among the roses. They have a little longer cuff which protects my arms from thorns, especially those of the ‘Munstead Wood’ rose which is very thorny. But there are other gloves, too. I use my nitrile gloves for everyday use as they are good for picking up slugs as
well as protecting my hands from cuts or bruises so often suffered when working in the garden. There are also unlined, chemically resistant long-sleeved gloves for wearing when applying pesticides. All these types of gloves can be found locally in our gardening, hardware or big-box stores. A favorite gift for the gardeners on my list is a year’s subscription to a nice gardening magazine. My personal
favorite is English Garden, but there are loads of others. Horticulture, Fine Gardening, Birds and Blooms, and Garden Gate would be my other top choices. The one you choose will depend on the level of expertise of your gardener as well as the price of the subscription. Be sure to look to see how often they are distributed and judge that against the cost to find the best value. All can be found online. Magazines are truly
the gifts that keep on giving. If you have a very special gardener or aspiring gardener, I always like to suggest the Tillamook County Master Gardener classes. They are being held again in person next year, with classes starting January 11, 2024. A few of the classes will be held in venues in North County so they will be combined with the Clatsop County Master Gardeners, but the majority will be held at the OSU Extension Office on Third Street in Tillamook. Traveling north is something new but should be a fun experiment. The classes cover everything from botany and soils to diseases and pests and how to deal with them as well as gardening on the coast and using native plants for a better success rate. Participants will be asked to contribute 40 hours of volunteer work
to offset the cost of the class, but you have a whole year to accomplish that and it is surprising how easily those hours add up. The classes run on Thursdays from January through March and will cost $150. If your gardener is unable to complete the volunteer service hours, they will need to pay an additional amount for the classes. This allows the Master Gardeners to bring in college-level professors to teach some of the classes. What a deal for all that knowledge. It is also a great way to meet likeminded people. You might even want to treat yourself to this gift. Call the Tillamook Extension Office at 503.842.3433 for more info on how to register. I wish you and your loved ones – gardener or not - a very warm and wonderful holiday season.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A letter of appreciation for Commissioner Yamamoto
T
o the Editor: As I listen to Commissioner David Yamamoto speaking on his one of his last Community Update teleconference calls, I’ve been reflecting on the past year-plus that I’ve had the
honor to work with him. While I haven’t known him as long as others have, it became obvious to me early on that Tillamook County was very fortunate to have Commissioner Yamamoto as their commissioner. We will lose a priceless wealth of knowledge, experience, and dedication when he closes the door to his office for the last time. I have personally observed his staunch support for this county at the local,
state and federal levels in many areas, including forest, lands and waters issues, helping to bring cell towers to Hwy. 6, and so much more. I believe he’s leaving a legacy for Tillamook County that will reverberate for generations and we’ve been very blessed to have him here. You will be missed, Sir. Thank you for your service to Tillamook County. Debi Garland Rockaway Beach

GUEST COLUMN Many Changes at TBCC! By DR. ROSS TOMLIN TBCC President
W
e seem to have used the term “change is constant” a lot recently. TBCC has experienced a large amount of turnover in the past two years as many organizations have since the pandemic started. Our new employees are doing great work, and we continue to help our students be successful. The theme of change continues for us. I have been President at TBCC for almost seven years. It has been the most satisfying and enjoyable part of my career. Tillamook County is a wonderful place to live and work and I have thoroughly enjoyed working together with the community to make Tillamook a better place to live. It is now time for me to look at retirement after spending 42 years working in community colleges. I have been a faculty member for over 20 years and a college administrator for almost 22 years. I have loved working with students and for students. Now it is time to pass the baton on to

We want to hear from you and encourage you to write letters to the editor. Because of space limitations, shorter letters have a better chance of being printed. We may edit your letter for style, grammar and clarity, although we do as little editing as possible. Letters longer than 300 words will not be printed. Letters can be on any topic, but letters on local issues will be given preference. Letters to the Editor that attack or challenge private individuals or private businesses will be refused. Challenges to public officials may be permitted. Only one letter per writer will be published on a single topic each month. Thank you letters are limited to mentioning individuals and non-commercial organizations and cannot exceed 200 words. Letters need to be submitted by 4 p.m. Wednesday the week prior to publication.

the next college leader. The TBCC Board of Education has begun the search process for my replacement. The search committee will conduct first-round interviews over the coming month and then recommend finalists to the full board. The full board will then interview the finalists, with each one spending a full day on campus meeting with different groups of students, staff and faculty, and community members. The first round of interviews is confidential, but the finalists will be shared with the community. The board will then take feedback from these groups and decide on who to hire as the next president of TBCC. This will be done sometime during the winter, with the new president starting sometime after that. I will plan to provide some overlap with the new president to ensure a smooth transition. In looking back over the past seven years, I am proud of the accomplishments we have made at the college, thanks to a lot of hard work by many people here, along with strong support throughout the community. We have increased enrollments even through the pandemic and are now no longer the smallest
community college in the state. We have added over two dozen new academic programs with most of them being career-technical, which provide students with skills needed to obtain a living wage job right out of TBCC. The most recent is our Nursing program which starts this coming January. We have passed a bond and are getting ready to break ground this coming spring on a new Healthcare Education Building that will contain all our healthcare programs and a 360-seat community event center. We also had a very successful re-accreditation visit with no recommendations and four commendations. We developed a new seven-year strategic plan in 2022 that has five strategic priorities to continue good work for our students. It has been a true honor to be the President of TBCC and I will continue to keep track of all the continued progress. I have no doubt that this little college on the north Oregon coast will continue to have a large positive impact in changing the lives of our students for the better. Thanks to all of you in Tillamook County who support TBCC.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Salem the Great Enabler.
T
he recent statement from our Gov. Kotek where; she wants to spend something like 60 million of our earnings on housing for the homeless. There will be no pride in the housing, and it will become a smelly filthy mess such as they left. There will be a cost to maintain as there will be no pride in the home. Any other outcome is fantasy. Here’s a better idea: Triage the homeless into groups 1. Those needing mental help. 2. Those needing help with alcoholism. 3. Those needing help for addictions. 4.
Those who fell on hard times through no fault of their own. Renew old government buildings into addiction centers/hospitals, mental health hospitals. Give the jobless the leg up needed to get back into the job market and thrive. Teach those who take the cure and or become better mentally; work ethics, money management, people skills, how to job hunt, etc... If they do not want to go or refuse treatment. Take away our tax dollar and forcibly take them off the streets. period. Do not enable/patronize them. If you don’t like the above, then give the homeless and disabled vets. the
money; they’ll at least do some good with it and have a better chance of giving us a return on our dollar with little continued costs. Giving with no responsibility required is nothing more than enabling. Enabling is the drug that empowers bad habits, addictions, irresponsibility, laziness, with no retribution. Quit enabling our own, its social suicide. Enabling is what created this problem. Responsibility is the power one needs to thrive. Respect our hard worked for dollars and citizens. Give the needy a leg up with required responsibility. Ed Eaton Bay City, OR

hose three atmospheric rivers in a row just about washed away the STOP lettering at the new three-way stop at the foot of Cape Meares Loop Road, where it intersects with Bayocean Road at the Cape Meares Lake boat ramp. There is much more serious damage than this for the Tillamook County Road Department to deal with. Good luck to all the folks working on repair and mop-up from the continual winter storms. The second community coffee klatch was held at the Barbara Bennett Community Center on December 10, and a good time was had by all. Close to a dozen residents turned out to sip a hot beverage, eat a scrumptious pastry and chat. Many thanks to Ann and Steve Quinn for again hosting this neighborly winter gathering. The next coffee klatch at the community center will be on February 25 from 9-11 a.m. Please text Ann at 503-457-7536 if you’d like to bring something or help with set-up or clean-up. The card-making ladies of Tillamook celebrated the season with a Christmas potluck at the community center here on December 12.

Our group meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the Hatfield room at the Tillamook County Library; stop in sometime to see what we are creating. There is a new babe in Cape Meares. And is she a cutie-pie. Oaklynne Ford made her public debut at First Christian Church when only 10 days old, and the church ladies recently held a baby shower that will keep that tiny girl dressed in style for some time to come. Oaklynne joins an older brother, Cedar, and parents Emylu Webster and her husband, Richard Ford, right here in Cape Meares. Congratulations to the family. We hope to see Oaklynne and her
family out on the beach in summers to come. Capt. Pete and I popped in at Salty Raven’s Santa Holiday Party at the flagship store in Tillamook recently.

I
have three good stories to start this week’s column. I couldn’t decide which one to first go with so I decided to flip coins. On my first flip, my son snatched it off the ground and ran away with it before I could read it. In his defense, it was one of their plastic gold piggy bank coins. In honor of his determination, let’s just go. The seasonal sign that we’ve endured the first batch of winter storms once again shines crimson on the western slope: The G is holiday red, again. Last week, Garibaldi Fire and Rescue went up the logging roads to manually swap out each lightbulb, one at a time, to keep our holiday tradition alive. It will remain red into the spring when dryer weather returns. Garibaldi Fire & Rescue also announced their annual Fire Truck Christmas Parade will circle the city on December 19 at 6 p.m. The traditional parade route is posted on their Facebook page. For those on the parade route, you can watch from your windows or stoops or wherever in your home the view is best. For those not living on the parade route, some of the best views are right by the fire station & city hall and on the south side of Garibaldi Grade School, especially up near the school shelter. Both locations see the trucks drive by twice. Last year, I watched along the fence from under the street corner light at the school on 8th and Cypress. I completely recommend that view as you can see and hear them essentially throughout the city. The Crab Pot tree, the red G and the Fire Truck Christmas Parade. Thank you, Garibaldi Fire and Rescue and the Garibaldi Firefighters Association for keeping the traditions alive. This past weekend, there
GARIBALDI NATHAN “FINN” FINDLING finn@natfinn.com were multiple parties to celebrate Pat Patterson’s 100th birthday. On Saturday, the longtime Garibaldian, Coast Guard retiree, and Lions Club member had a birthday party in his name held at Garibaldi City Hall. This celebration was reportedly put on by friends and businesses Pat met during the City’s 2022 Coast Guard Celebration and “Pat Patterson Day.” This was the party that was heavily advertised in the paper and online. And note, for those calling me and the mayor and asking, I can say that while the ads they saw did not state the hosts, no, the city itself did not host this party. That said, I’m told Mayor Katie, councilors, and commissioners will be reaching out to personally congratulate Pat on the milestone. On Sunday, the area’s various Lions Clubs, including Garibaldi and Tillamook, hosted their own Pat Patterson celebration at their monthly meeting. Patterson, who’s been a member for decades and decades, was treated to stories and good times including a cake from SaraSota’s of Tillamook that cost nearly as much as his age, a visit from Santa for the “Leos”, and an update on a project very dear to his heart: a Totem Pole in honor of his wife, who was descended from the Chinook Tribes. The local Lions Clubs have reportedly been working with artists, representatives of the Chinook Tribes, a

to-be-announced benefactor, and Pat to faithfully restore the pole and have it placed in a prominent location in the county as close to Garibaldi as possible. Pat, I hope you had 100 parties for your birthday. If I get to your age, I’m partying every day. Good on you, Pat. She’s been fighting off the rain with buckets and moxie, and now our dehumidifier.

All Tillamook County Library branches will be closed Monday, December 25, Tuesday, December 26, and Monday, January 1. Wishing you all warm and happy holidays.” Lastly, the next steps to the City’s financial recovery are set up to take place. On the city website you’ll find a request for proposal for Municipal-Governmental Accounting Assistance for the City of Garibaldi. Here’s the initial paragraph: “The City of Garibaldi, Oregon is inviting qualified individuals and/or firms to submit quotes for accounting and audit preparation services. The city uses CenterPoint software for its accounting. The City’s accounting for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 needs to be reviewed for accuracy and completeness of accounting transactions and then prepared for audit. If you or your organization would like to be considered for this engagement, please provide a proposal/quote which conforms to the description of services. “ The posting runs through December 20, and reportedly a couple responses have caught the city staff’s eye. Hopefully, this time next year, we’ll be able to talk more about grants and projects, but the fact that our municipal firm is finally able to go through our budget and the city staff is nearly rebuilt again is Christmas gift enough for now. “And if they had the words, I could tell to you / To help you on the way down the road / “I couldn’t quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats / ‘Cause it’s all been said before” – Stewart & Wood

T
he final Community and Destination Planning Management session took place on December 4, 2023. As with the three previous sessions, Nan Devlin, executive director for the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, guided the conversation with representatives of city government, the Chamber of Commerce and residents. Her goal: to finetune our visions of how transient room tax (TRT) revenue can help improve, preserve and benefit the community. One important piece of information shared in the December 4 meeting: the time frame for different projects. Short-term projects are considered to be achievable within 1 to 3 years. Mediumterm projects will require 3 to 6 years. Long-term projects are those which may require 6 to 10 years to complete. Many of the suggested projects, we learned, are already in process. Fixing potholes in city roads, for example, came up often. The city approved a proposal to address this in August. I discussed the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a five-year plan for addressing paving issues, last October, and the city web site has a link where you can follow the progress and ask questions. One complication with paving is that roads in unincorporated parts of Rockaway Beach are the responsibility of the county, not the city. “The city can’t do work on county property,” Mayor Charles McNeilly added. But the process is complaintdriven he said, and residents in these areas, working as a group, can contact Tillamook County Public Works at 503-842-3419 to get the ball rolling. Improved beach access at the Wayside is also already
ROCKAWAY BEACH SCOTT FISHER sfisher71@yahoo.com in process. “We’re going to have a ramp and stairs at the Wayside by summer,” said Mayor McNeilly. Additionally, ADA-compliant restrooms will be available at the Wayside and at the Anchor Street parking area. The reinstatement of our Parks & Recreation department is another recurrent topic. “Parks and Rec was one of the five original allocations for our TRT money,” said councilor Kristine Hayes. The department was dissolved in 2020. “We’ve discussed bringing it back.” This could addressed some of the other commonly cited needs, such as activities for kids and teens, residents and visitors alike. Affordable worker housing is another important issue. With the passing of SB 406, slated to take effect on January 1, 2024. From the state’s Web page, SB 406 “requires certain cities and communities in Tillamook County to allow middle housing on residentially zoned lands, to adopt housing production strategies and to accommodate estimated housing needs upon lands inventoried as buildable lands.” The hope is that middle housing will make it affordable for people who work in the tourism, restaurant and hospitality industries to live close to their jobs. Making the case for the use of TRT funds to promote affordable

housing will take thought and work. Related to this is the need for workforce training. Neah-Kah-Nie High School has some programs for the culinary and hospitality industry, but several suggestions highlighted the need for more. One of the most often mentioned categories of projects is preserving and highlighting Rockaway Beach’s historic buildings. Suggested projects include painting murals that represent some of our buildings from a century ago, as well as a self-guided walking tour—a topic that came up again and again. Councilor Mary McGinnis observed, “We’re missing a strategic vision that is community driven, with the planning commission to direct and consult, then the city council acts in line with that.” Nan Devlin replied, “The county doesn’t have one either.” The final decision on which projects to fund will be assisted by a survey which the city is currently planning to post on their web site in January 2024. This column will post the date that the survey opens, and how to access it. You can also review previous meetings on this subject from the city’s web page, https://corb.us, by clicking the link to Community & Destination Management Planning in the left-hand column. Once the survey results have been received, the city will review plans and priorities in February. In March, the plan will be presented to the community, after which time the selected projects will be presented to the budget committee for funding. If you have ideas, dreams, or other input, join us.

O
nce repping Cheesemaker jerseys on the racecourse, Sarah Pullen (‘21) and Gabe Lachenmeier (‘18) toed the line at the NCAA III Cross Country National Championships for the George Fox Bruins on Nov. 18 in Newville, Pennsylvania. At the National Championships, the George Fox women’s and men’s crosscountry teams finished 19th and 11th overall. Lachenmeier completed the 8k course in a time of 26:34 as the 6th Bruin on the team and placed 212nd overall in a field of 294. “I knew this team was going to go to Nationals and I wanted to be on the team,” Lachenmeier said. “I put in a lot of work this summer.” It was no small feat making the national team as Lachenmeier hadn’t cracked the top seven for the Bruins last year. But by August, he opened the season finishing third in their team’s time trial. “I had a dream to be good at something,” Lachenmeier said. “I had had a goal to be a college basketball star, but that turned into running. This past year, I’ve leaned into that dream rather than being scared of: ‘What if it doesn’t happen?’ I put in a lot of work with a sport physiologist, asked questions, learned, and surrounded myself with people with
common goals. [Up until this season], I had missed so many travel trips and then to be standing on the starting line of the [National Race]; it’s as close to Disneyland as possible. Definitely a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.” For Pullen, the day at Nationals didn’t go as planned. “I’ve had injuries. It’s been up and down and things just haven’t been going the way I have hoped,” she said. “But that’s a perfect example of how running goes sometimes.” Pullen said that part way through the National race she tripped, rolling an ankle and needing to be removed from the racecourse. “It leaves me hungry for more next year,” she said. Despite the mishap at Nationals, Pullen was still a top competitor for the Bruins at the Northwest Conference Championships on October 28. There, she finished third on the team and sixth overall in a time of 22:25 for the 6k course. The Bruin women claimed the championship win overall. “In racing, when you take those big leaps to make a really hard move or try something new, it’s better that you tried than never try…you never know what the outcome will be,” she said. “The process really does take time. The results are possible, but it does take time.” Pullen notes that the culture of their team helped them achieve their lofty
season goals. “Our coach really focuses on us as a team and our character, and not just our athletic abilities,” Pullen said. “He really dialed in on challenging us to run and make ourselves better. And we have a faith-based team and that’s very special.” Both Pullen and Lachenmeier credit the support (specifically from their parents) and preparation (from local coaches) in Tillamook in aiding in their success as collegiate athletes. “In high school, we had really amazing coaches,” Pullen said. “I felt pretty prepared going into college running; Pat [Zweifel] gave us such good training. [At NCAA III Nationals] we represented Oregon and the small towns in the U.S. that maybe are not heard of as often.” “My parents have definitely supported me in this dream,” Lachenmeier added. And what advice would these former Cheesemakers pass along to future collegiate athletes? “Be your biggest fan,” Lachenmeier said. “The limits you set on yourself are the opportunities that you rise to.” Lachenmeier is currently a senior at George Fox University majoring in psychology with double minors in sociology and criminal justice. Pullen is currently a junior majoring in Christian Ministries.

t was quite the electric atmosphere at the YMCA Aquatic Center on the night of December 8, as 10 teams and 175 swimmers went head-to-head in the pool. This was the biggest known home meet of all time hosted by Tillamook High School and boasted 3A, 4A and 5A schools with teams coming from as far as Pendleton and Baker. There was a buzz and a lot of energy by swimmers and spectators during and after the event. The team performances overall were strong again this week after a nice showing in Astoria last weekend. The boys followed up a fourthplace finish in an 11-team invitational last week with a strong 3rd place showing this week behind only 5A Silverton and Molalla. “I was very pleased with the results. We’re only four weeks into the season and we’ve had two monster meets and two strong showings. The season is looking bright,” Head Coach David Richmond said.

hung right behind The Dalles, Baker, Gladstone and Scappoose. “I would love to find at least one or two more girls to join us so we can swim all the relays and add some depth. It’s never too late to get a friend out,” said Richmond. Landon Munly and Amanthis Allen locked down enough points to earn their varsity letters at the meet with standout performances. Highlights from the meet included Captain Jack Sappington breaking the meet record in the 100 Individual Medley by over two seconds. Jack has been gearing up for the 100IM all season and blew the doors off the meet record by over 2 seconds. Jack was a double winner on Friday night, also winning the 100 breaststroke as well with an almost personal record (PR) of 1:07.66. He swam a PR relay leg of 53.22 in the 400 and helped both relays earn 3rd place medals in the 200 Medley and 400 Free. Landon Munly had a memorable meet as well, swimming a 2 second plus personal record in the butterfly leg of the medley relay. He then came back moments later in the 200 freestyle with an impressive PR. He swam a huge 5 second PR in the backstroke, and then capped the evening with another 4 second PR in the 400 Free Relay. Landon’s focus and hard work in practice has gotten him results. Brandon Hudgeon swam to second in the 50 free and 3rd in the 100 freestyle. “He is rounding back into shape and big times are coming. He and Jack are two of the best that have ever walked the halls at THS and the mission is to finish big before they graduate”, said Richmond. Amanthis Allen came close to achieving her early season goal Friday night swimming 29.00 flat and taking second place in the 10-team meet. Her time was a 1.5 second improvement. Finally, I want to applaud Wyatt, Noel Guttierez and Cyrus Werner for taking on the 100-butterfly challenge today. It’s the most challenging event in HS swimming and they conquered the physical and mental mountain in just their second week. There are about 10 new freshmen out this year and they are working hard to improve as a team. Hanna Amirkhanian from Neah-Kah-Nie is swimming as a collective with us in practice, but as an NKN swimmer in meets. If you look at the score sheet, she’s only a freshman and swam to second place last week in the 500 and then had a 12 second PR tonight in the same event in just a week. She is a legit threat to break into the 6s soon.

Alder Ridge partners Lisa and Ralph McRae are proud to team with the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage to better meet the demands of Tillamook County. U-Haul has teamed with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-ityourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer,
they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community. The local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises as there are no financial investments required to be a neighborhood dealer. These small businesses have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment, and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.

Let the Community Award Nomination Announcements Begin…Part One! By JESSICA MEYER Director of Operations Tillamook Chamber of Commerce
T
he anticipation has been building, and the eagerness to unveil this year’s extraordinary lineup of Community Award nominees has been almost unbearable! With another round of impressive nominations this year, it is truly evident that the spirit of our incredible community shines through. These Community Awards are proudly presented by the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce. Each year, during our Annual Banquet and Auction held in January, we honor outstanding individuals and businesses with Community Awards across five categories: Business of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Development Project of the Year, and Program of the Year. The community plays an
integral role in nominating deserving candidates by answering a series of questions and providing information that is vital to the nomination process. This year, nominations were accepted until December 1st, and all nominees will be celebrated at our annual Banquet and a winner from each category will be awarded. This is set to take place at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds on Saturday, January 13th, 2024. The winners for each category are determined by a committee comprising of past winners and community members (not Chamber staff or board members — a friendly annual reminder!). Now that the nominations have closed and announcement cards have been mailed to each nominee, we can finally announce the nominees in each category! For Small Business of the Year, the nominees are...

OBITUARIES Mo Jeffries
March 23, 1954 ~ December 9, 2023 on Saturday, December 9th, 2023 in Tillamook, OR. Mo was born on March 23, 1954, in Henderson, Nevada, and was raised in McCall, Idaho where he attended McCall Donnely High School, graduating in 1972. He then completed the forestry program at North Idaho College. While at college, he met Sue Schoeffler, and they were married on December 27th, 1974. He started working for the US Forest Service, and eventually procured a full-time position in Hebo, Oregon and moved to Tillamook in 1978. Mo worked for the Forest
M
aurice Ray Jeffries, 69, went home to be with his Lord and Savior
Service for 35 years, ending his career as a Timber Sale Administrator in 2009. Mo’s greatest joy was spending time with his family and watching his grandkids grow up. He loved sharing his wisdom with Lizzy, being outdoors fishing or hunting with his boys, or working in his wood shop crafting toys and furniture. He enjoyed riding his motorcycles over the years, and valued time with his coffee crew, solving the world’s problems. One of the highlights of his life was travelling coast to coast with Sue and visiting friends and
family along the way. He often spent his days after retirement going for drives, and eating at restaurants all over the area with his good friend Dave Schwend. He was a member of Ocean Breeze Baptist Church for 24 years, and it was one of his favorite places to be. He loved Jesus with all his heart, and was an amazing example of faith and hope, especially throughout the last several years of his life while fighting cancer, and dealing with the complications of his bone marrow transplant. He was the best husband, dad and grandpa.
A special thanks to his unknown bone marrow donor who, through her gift of stem cells, gave us more time with Mo. We will always be thankful for these extra years, which allowed him to walk Lizzy down the aisle, go on one last antelope hunting trip with Tony, and be there for Mason’s first hunting trip with Nick. He is survived by his wife, Sue; his children: Tony & Brittney Jeffries, Nick & Alisa Jeffries, and Lizzy & Josh Loftis; his grandchildren: Mason, Paisley, Addie, Sadie and GraceLyn, and his sweet dog Millie, along with
his sister and brother-in-law, Becky & Dan Hearne, and his many nieces and nephews. Mo was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Edrie Jeffries, and his sister and brother-in-law Melanie and Doug Schmick. A funeral service was held on Saturday, December 16th, 2023, at 2:00 pm at Ocean Breeze Baptist Church in Tillamook. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Ocean Breeze Baptist Church youth group or building fund.

Public Notices
Public Notices the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit
or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance,

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 upon maturity the following sums: TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $699,428.52 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 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: 1. The principal and interest remaining due and owing, plus amounts that are due 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 beneficiary’s efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid, including all sums that shall accrue through payoff. 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. Whereof, notice hereby is given that Affinia Default Services, LLC, the undersigned trustee will on March 12, 2024 at the hour of (PST), as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the southern front entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, 201 Laurel Ave, Tillamook OR 97141, County of Tillamook, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired
