Rockaway resident recounts time as a ‘A Christmas Story’ extra

Chelsea Yarnell Guest Contributor

It’s an iconic cinematic scene.

In “A Christmas Story,” The Old Man Mr. Parker wins a sweepstake and is overjoyed that his prize is leg lamp.

He plugs the lamp into an electrical socket and places it in the home’s front window.

“It’s indescribably beautiful! It reminds me of the Fourth of July,” the family patriarch cries in the movie scene. “Turn off all the lights. I want to see what it looks like from the street.”

Mr. Parker runs out the front door of his home to the sidewalk on the other of the street. As he stands there admiring his new possession, neighbors stop to see what he’s staring at.

One of the neighbors in the scene was Rockaway Beach resident Mike Kukral (62).

Kukral, 22-years old at the time, was home from college for Christmas and was looking for some short-term employment during the break.

“I was looking for a job,” Kukral said. “Sometimes I worked for UPS delivering packages, but this time I didn’t have anything lined up.”

Kukral recalled seeing a little ad in the local Cleveland newspaper.

“It read: ‘Extras wanted for major motion picture being filmed in downtown Cleveland. Must be available 24 hours a day,’” Kukral recalled. “And I was available to do that.”

Kukral replied to the ad and began working as an extra on the movie set in downtown Cleveland.

“[While I was working], I never knew the name the movie. I never knew who was in it,” Kukral said. After its release in 1983, Kukral learned he had participated in the “A Christmas Story” film.

Himself, as well as his family’s 1937 car, were used in scenes throughout the movie including the downtown Christmas parade.

“They’d shut down the streets at about 1 a.m. and decorate the

streets,” Kukral said. “They would start the whole parade at 3 a.m. It was like nothing I’d ever seen before. Bands were playing… it was really bizarre, but I guess this was how it worked. I’d never seen how movies were made.”

While Kukral said most of his time was spent standing around outside waiting, he did eventually make his silver screen début.

“There’s one scene I’m really, clearly in,” Kukral said. “It was a cold winter night, in a westside neighborhood at a house that they had bought to use. Darren McGavin [Mr. Parker/The Old Man] comes running out of the house. It was the leg lamp scene; it was sitting in the window. We saw this and thought, ‘What is this movie about?”

Kukral said the scene was initially filmed with solely Mr. Parker admiring the leg lamp from outside his home.

“They filmed this 38 times of him coming out of the house and into the street,” Kukral said.

After all those takes, one of the movie directors grabbed five extras and told them to walk up behind The Old Man and pretend to see what he’s looking at.

“It was such a fun time,” Kukral said. “They filmed it one time that way and they use that scene, and I’m in it.”

Kukral can be seen behind The Old Man, wearing a cap and a long overcoat.

“We thought this was going to be some really awful movie. And someone said, ‘It will probably never get released or get finished because it looked terrible,” Kukral laughed. “Us extras, who were standing around talking all the

time, we thought this was a horrible movie because of all these cheap props, but those were all these dream sequences. It’s astounding to me that it has become such a well-loved movie and some people’s favorite movie.”

For his time, Kukral was paid minimum wage of $3.50 an hour in cash every night.

When asked if Kukral watched the 2022 sequel “A Christmas Story Christmas,” he replied that he had recently.

“I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it,” he said. “I enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun.”

Kukral didn’t seek out further film roles, but it wasn’t his last connection to Hollywood.

After receiving degrees in Geography, Environmental Science, and Political Science from Ohio University, Kukral went on to receive his PhD from the University of Kentucky in Geography. During

County’s Short-Term Rental Advisory Committee discusses changing regulations

Will Chappell

Headlight Reporter

Tillamook County’s ShortTerm Rental Advisory Committee began discussing different regulatory frameworks at their meeting on December 13 at the Port of Tillamook Bay.

Committee members asked staff for more information on most of the options presented before moving forward in their decision making.

Each of the options has its pros and cons, although the biggest challenge with any regulation will be addressing already operating properties, according to Daniel Kearns, the lawyer advising the committee.

One option which would mitigate this challenge is limiting the number of nights a property can be rented during the year. Locali-

ties using this type of regulation tend to set the limit between 90 and 120 nights.

Committee members expressed concern that this approach would further concentrate tourist activity in the summer months, leaving properties empty and businesses strapped even more in the winter.

It was suggested that the limit could be monthly or quarterly to encourage more distributed stays.

The second option Kearns detailed was limiting short-term rental licenses to properties that are a primary residence.

This option was dismissed quickly by the committee as too restrictive and removed from the list of options.

The two final ways to restrict the number of properties were distance and density limits, and a hard cap on the percentage of properties allowed to operate as short-term rentals.

Distance and density limits would impose a buffer zone around short-term rental properties to prevent clustering. This clustering has led certain neighborhoods in the county to become what many at the meeting referred to as, “party streets.”

Kearns said that density restrictions could be tailored for different communities but said that bringing existing licenses in line with the new regulations would be very difficult.

The committee expressed concerns about the approach limiting rental activity in developments designed with the practice in mind or in communities like Tierra Del Mar where rental properties outnumber full-time residents.

A cap on the percentage of properties across the counties permitted to hold licenses would be less complicated to implement.

Localities opting for this approach typically set the cap between 12% and 17%, although Bay City recently enacted a cap of 5%. Across the county, between 12 and 24% of properties are currently operating as short-term rentals.

The last two regulatory tools that Kearns described were mechanisms that could bring the number of short-term rentals in line with any new restrictions.

First would be placing a transferability limitation on licenses, leading to attrition of licenses as properties transfer hands going

forward.

Someone pointed out that circumventing such a regulation would be as simple as placing the property into the ownership of a trust or LLC and selling that, which Kearns acknowledged was true.

The other option he mentioned was a limit on short-term rental licenses issued to each property owner.

This would prevent consolidation of property ownership for short-term rentals and reduce the number of licenses.

Committee members asked staff for additional information about the impacts and feasibility of all the proposals, except the primary residence restriction that nobody had favored.

The committee then decided that it would hold its meetings in the Port of Tillamook Bay’s conference room going forward.

Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of the month from 9:30 a.m. to noon and are open to the public.

School board taps interim Super

Jim Mabbott will be interim superintendent for the Tillamook School District between January 9, and June 30, 2023.

The district’s board selected Mabbott at a special meeting on December 14, at which they also chose Human Capital Enterprises to assist with the search for a permanent replacement for the recently resigned Curt Shelley.

“I am very excited to serve the students, staff and community of the Tillamook School District,” Mabbott said in a statement released following the meeting.

Mabbott will be taking over from Bruce Rhodes who has been serving since November 21.

Mabbott will earn $11,590.94 in January before making $15,000 monthly between February and June. That amount will be split between a $5,000 salary and a $10,000 tax shelter annuity.

He will also be given $5,000 to help pay for housing and relocation related expenses.

Mabbott has experience in northwestern Oregon, having served as superintend of the Northwest Regional Education Service district from 2004-2011. Most recently he was superintendent of the Castle Rock School District until his retirement in 2019.

“I’m an in the schools and community kind of guy,” Mabbott said at the meeting, appearing via Zoom.

After appointing Mabbott, the board selected Human Capital Resources to lead the search for a new superintendent to replace Shelley who resigned abruptly on November 14. The decision came after the board heard presentations from Human Capital and McPherson and Jacobson, the other finalist.

The board chose Human Capital, which will begin its search shortly with a cost between $14,000 and $18,000.

Hank Harris and Robyn Bean will be leading the search for the firm and made the presentation to the board.

They emphasized their commitment to community outreach as part of the superintendent search process, as well as their history of success.

Founded in 2011, Human Capital has led searches for a mix of urban and rural districts around the state, including in the South Coast Educational Service District in Coos Bay and the John Day School District.

The search process will start with interviews of school board members, teachers and other district stakeholders early next year.

Harris and Bean will then solicit public feedback through a series of townhall events and an online survey, both of which will have Spanish language options.

Their initial proposal projected naming a replacement in early April of 2023, but when asked said they could accommodate a faster search if that was a board priority.

The range on the price of their search owed to options they will offer

Mike Kukral poses for a photo with Darren McGavin, who plays Mr. Parker (The Old Man), on the set of “A Christmas Story” in 1982 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Rockaway Beach resident Mike Kukral recently retired to the Oregon Coast after decades as a geography professor. Throughout his life Kukral also worked as a movie extra in “A Christmas Story,” was a graduate student with connections to Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, and was in the same high school graduating class as American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Rockaway council hosts final meeting of 2022, gets update from TCVA

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Rockaway Beach’s City Council wrapped up its yearly business at its December 14 meeting, hearing multiple reports and taking care of business before a spirited public comment portion of the meeting.

Amy Blackburn and Nan Devlin from the Tillamook Coast Visitor’s Association (TCVA) delivered a report on their group’s work in Rockaway Beach in 2022.

Blackburn, TCVA’s deputy director, gave an update on the grant that they manage for Rockaway Beach’s government.

TCVA oversees the marketing grant, which is tasked with help local businesses with marketing through direct allocations to specific businesses. The grant program had $21,000 to award in 2022.

TCVA identified six recipients for the grant in 2022, but Blackburn’s report revealed that less than $4,000 had actually been distributed, leaving the program with more than $17,000 in outstanding funds.

Next year, $35,000 of money has been allocated in the city budget for the grant.

Devlin told the council about several public improvements the TCVA brough to Rockaway Beach this year. They purchased new trashcans featuring art and dog waste stations and developed new brochures to promote Rockaway Beach.

Devlin said that next year TCVA will focus on improving wayfinding in Rockaway Beach, installing two new kiosks with maps and information for visitors.

Fire Chief Todd Hesse discussed the long wait times residents of Rockaway Beach are facing when calling for an ambulance.

He said that 30-to40-minute wait times were not uncommon, and that the

entire county was struggling because of staffing shortages.

There are four ambulances in the county, normally stationed in Pacific City, Tillamook, Garibaldi and Manzanita.

Hesse said that this leads to slow service and logistical challenges when multiple calls come in at the same time.

He said that the fire department was unable to transport patients in need of medical assistance. After hearing these reports, the meeting entered the public comment portion during which Councilmember Kristine Hayes drew criticism for her leadership of the chamber of commerce and a recent Christmas event the chamber hosted.

The event occurred at the same time as Rockaway Beach’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the wayside and featured a Santa Claus, as did the city’s.

Three community members were so consternated by Kringle’s double appearance that they showed up at the meeting to voice their concerns.

They complained that the concurrent events had left local parents scrambling to explain the duplicate Santas. From there, the three speakers went on to address

Hayes’s leadership of the chamber of commerce, which they said had been inactive during her time as leader.

When asked about the comments following the meeting, Hayes said the statements were untrue and forwarded a statement detailing the chamber’s activity over the last several years.

The statement explained that the chamber had scaled their operations back significantly during Covid. They decided to stop charging members fees during the pandemic to help reduce costs and scaled back their activities accordingly.

However, it said that the chamber had continued operating the caboose with a reduced schedule and had put on the Annual Kite Festival, even in 2020.

The chamber put on events last year, including the Kite Festival, Flower Sale and Fireworks Sale, and donated $1,600 to the Future Business Leaders of America.

As for the Christmas event confusion, Hayes explained that a late change in plans from the city had led to the duplicate Santas.

In past years, the Santa Claus hired by the town had not gotten off the Candy Cane Express, necessitating a second Kringle at the chamber’s

event to interact in person. Hayes said that the chamber was only informed that the city’s Santa would be deboarding the train and interacting with locals after they had already booked a performer and they did not want to force either Santa to cancel.

Hayes said that event attendees had, in contrast to the commenters’ complaints, enjoyed the two Santas and that the chamber had received no negative feedback prior to the meeting.

Following the public comment, the council appointed new members to the city’s budget committee.

They selected Michael Weissenfluh, Penny Chilton and Susan Hennessy-Schaefbauer to serve in positions three, five and six respectively.

Before closing the meeting, Councilmember Mary McGinnis noted that it was Mayor Sue Wilson and Councilmember Terry Walhood’s last meeting in office.

She thanked both for their service to the community and said she was looking forward to working with their successors next year.

Rockaway’s emergency preparedness committee has seen an increase in volunteer interest

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Rockaway Beach’s emergency preparedness committee has attracted an uptick in participation recently after an ebb during the pandemic.

The group’s December meeting, held on the seventh, attracted more than 15 citizens interested in lending their help during emergent events in the city.

At the meeting, Tillamook County Emergency Management Director Randy Thorpe said that aiding and promoting these local groups was a major focus of his job.

In an emergency, the various communities around Tillamook County will become islands, isolate from outside help, Thorpe told the group. This means that each community needs to be ready to sustain itself in those situations.

It is critical for residents to have a go bag for emergency situations, with experts now recommending bags be stocked for two months.

Also critical will be HAM radio communications, another major focus of Thorpe’s job.

He said that the north

county leads the way in HAM radio groups and a repeater was recently installed on Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain.

In Rockaway, local John Orloff has taken the lead on HAM radio.

He has been working to revitalize a disused radio shack near the reservoir and is offering a free class to teach the public to operate radios on January 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Thorpe said that radio communications would be vital in coordinating supply delivery in a disaster.

To achieve deliveries in a situation where Highway 101 and other roadways are impassable, Thorpe has been working with the Port of Tillamook Bay and Near Space Corporation to have Tillamook Airport designated a supply hub for the coast.

Their proposal is awaiting final approval from state authorities and would see the airport become the main distribution point for the entire Oregon Coast during a disaster.

The airport’s runway is built to withstand seismic events, owing to its military history, and Thorpe expects the plan to move ahead.

Near Space is also helping

to develop plans to distribute goods to communities up and down the coast using aerial drones that will be able to carry up to 500 pounds.

Thorpe said that members of the committee should identify zones for supply drops and helicopter landings.

He further advised that the committee should partner with Rockaway Beach Fire and Rescue to apply for emergency preparedness grants from state and federal agencies.

He noted that the Oregon Department of Human Services oversees stocking emergency sheds and residents remarked that their local sheds need a resupply.

Armed with this information from Thorpe, the committee discussed its next steps.

In addition to the upcoming radio course, there will be a free CPR course offered to the public on December 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rockaway Beach firehouse.

The committee is also putting together an emergency preparedness fair for the spring, with details to come.

Bay City Council approves short-term rental restrictions

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Bay City’s City Council passed new restrictions on short-term rentals, instituting $100 application and annual renewal fees, and placing a cap on the number of properties in the city at their December 13 meeting.

Short-term rentals will only be allowed to occupy 5% of the local housing pool, or around 40 properties, with 26 currently operating.

The new regulations will also institute a 200-foot buffer zone between short-term rental properties and require owners to stock their properties with go bags for emergencies.

This last requirement drew the ire of several local short-term rental purveyors, concerned over the initial cost of the bags and that their guests would pilfer the bags or their contents, incurring even higher costs.

Council President Kathleen Baker responded to those concerns, noting that both Nehalem and Manzanita have the same requirement already. She said she had

been in contact with operators there, who said that theft of emergency supplies had not been an issue.

She said that the cost of the 72-hour go bags, containing water, flashlights, blankets and other preparedness supplies for two, was a legitimate requirement of property owners.

Baker argued that when welcoming guests to Bay City, it is important for their hosts to take safety precautions in case of an emergency.

Other councilors voiced hesitation about the go bags, but the new regulations passed by a vote of 4-1, with Councilmember Helen Wright voting against.

The council also approved a comprehensive update of fees across the city, following the first staff review of city fees since 2008.

Work should be beginning at Al Griffin Park in 2023 following council approval, but the project has hit complications.

City Manager Liane Welch informed the council that a required archaeological study had unearthed artifacts at the park.

Welch said that she was in contact with tribes and was hopeful that a resolution would be reached that will allow the project to advance.

The project will see more than $400,000 in improvements to the park, upgrading it to a hiker and biker campground, with toilet and shower facilities to serve the Salmonberry Trail.

Oregon Parks and Recreation is contributing $318,000 to the project, while transient lodging funds from Tillamook County and Bay City will comprise the balance of the funding.

The council also approved the Community Action Team to help low-income households with their water bills, approved $20,000 for outside assistance updating the city’s water master plan and signed off on the annual audit before sending it to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Finally, Mayor David McCall recognized Wright’s service on the council, as it marked her last meeting. He gifted her a stocking stuffed

this time, he was a Fulbright Scholar in Prague in 1989-90 and took part in the Velvet Revolution.

“I wanted to go overseas to research as a geographer,” Kukral said. “I wanted to go to Czechoslovakia. I thought going behind the Iron Curtain was just so different.”

As a Fulbright Scholar sponsored by the federal government, Kukral had to keep close ties with the U.S. Embassy. His boss there just so happened to be Ambassador Shirley Temple Black.

“She met with us several times,” Kukral. “She would remember our names. She was a very smart lady; you could see how she was able to do things in the movies.”

Kukral, one of only three American students in Prague, were invited to various events with Temple including a Fourth of July celebration at her home and an outing to a movie.

Kukral chuckled. “She slept through most of the movie. She woke up and said, ‘That was a terrible movie, it was just boring.”

In 1997, Columbia University published his book “Prague 1989, Theater of Revolution,” based on his time as a student in Czechoslovakia. His book is the only account from an American participant of the Velvet Revolution.

Kukral went on to become a geography professor at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana where he taught for 30 years.

In 2017, Hollywood came knocking again when Kukral was asked to be a film consultant and extra in the film “My Friend Dahmer.” The movie, about the life of American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, is based off the graphic novel of the same name by cartoonist John “Derf” Backderf. Backderf was a friend of Dahmer’s at Revere High School; as was Kukral.

“We all knew him in school. I remember going over to his house a s kid. I still know his dad and his little brother,” Kukral said.

“No one suspected anything bad about him…he was just a little goofy like we all were in middle school.”

With the recent release of crime dramas about Dahmer, Kukral has been interviewed for several news sources including a recent BBC podcast.

“With the people who grew up with and went to school with him, he will always be there in the back of our minds,” Kukral said.

This past September, Kukral retired and relocated to live fulltime in Rockaway Beach.

Kukral discovered the area 25 years ago when his college roommate was married in Pacific City.

“I drove all over the Coast and I just thought, ‘This is a really beautiful part of the country and someday I’d really love to live here,’” Kukral said.

His friend found him a house that met his two requirements: a home where he could walk to the beach, as well as see the mountains.

Kukral now plays in the local ukulele band and is hoping to begin substitute teaching in the near future.

Longtime residents and visitors to Rockaway Beach came to love the Barview Jetty Store. Owners Marilyn Naase and Rick Hurliman, in charge of the store since 2003, had been looking to retire for some time. So in late 2021, they agreed to sell the Jetty Store to local restaurant owners Dennis and Amanda Cavitt.

Dennis, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, had built up his restaurant, the Garibaldi Portside Bistro. Starting from a small location at the marina, the Cavitts moved into the former home of the Troller, a Garibaldi icon right by the harbor. There was some initial resistance to this change

among locals, but in spite of construction delays (at least one of which involved Cavitt falling through a section of flooring), the new Portside Bistro has since won acclaim from the coast and beyond.

Similarly, affection for Marilyn and Rick caused some to be skeptical about

the planned changes at the Barview Jetty. Fortunately, Dennis has fond memories of visiting the store as a child, during family camping trips to the Barview Jetty County Campground. And having proposed to Amanda on the Jetty, he had ample reason to retain the iconic site’s character — while adding to its charm, and continuing its traditions for the next generation.

One thing that helped allay concerns: Rick and Marilyn agreed to train the Cavitts in their traditional techniques and recipes for their famous pizza. The Barview Jetty pizzas, whether pre-baked or take-and-bake, had a distinctive style and a generous size. Fans of the old store were concerned that the beloved flavors would somehow change over time.

So while Marilyn coached the Cavitts on their traditional style, Dennis added a few touches. Fans (and yes, I’m one) of the Portside Bistro know Dennis as a master of anything having to do with meat, smoke, and time. The Bistro’s babyback ribs (available Fridays and Saturdays after 4 PM) are generous, fall-off-thebone tender, and have a glo-

Well, it seems that in this day and age, the competition isn’t doing much better!

Whenever I receive good or great customer service, I congratulate and praise the person or company who is responsible. And I tell them they are one of the few exceptions to the rule. I am sure you can relate to this.

Most of you reading this will have had the same kind of experiences. For you, I am in this way sharing your rant as well as mine. For those of you who are new to the issues I am going to share with you: get ready – your turn is on the way.

I’m first going to point the finger at the U.S. Postal Service. And I preface this by saying this problem – ex-

perienced by me and many other people in my community (Bay City) – began long before COVID reared its ugly head. The best mail carrier we EVER had that delivered our mail and packages – was Candy. She was a carrier we could rely on. Our mail was in our boxes – at our homes –usually no later than 11 a.m. – noon at the latest. Candy retired. And ever since then, my mail has been delivered as late as 9 p.m. How long does it take to learn a postal route? One month, two, maybe three? When a year has passed and things haven’t gotten any better, there is something wrong with this picture, wouldn’t you say? I have tried on several occasions to call the Tillamook Post Office to try and find out what the problem is, and no one answers the phone. Not once. About two months ago I asked two different carriers why no one ever picks up the phone in Tillamook (where all Bay City mail goes through) and was told that they are experiencing management and emoplyee issues. So this situation doesn’t have a solution – since these people’s jobs are protected by the

union. It just is what it is.

You can, fortunately, still count on UPS and FedEx. But if you are relying on the USPS, good luck. And I can’t tell you how many times the USPS tracking system shows OUT FOR DELIVERY – and low and behold – it isn’t.

Let’s now discuss something that is “mis-delivered”.

If your carrier delivers it to any address other than yours, and the recipient is not honest enough to bring it to your house, or take it to the post office, you will never see it –and tracking info will show it was delivered. Unless you had it insured, no one will do anything about it – ever. This has happened to me three times in the past 10 years – how about you? I know for a fact that prescription medications and glasses are mis delivered; I have received other people’s drugs and glasses in my mailbox – and immediately took them to the rightful recipients. I was told by these people “Oh, I am not surprised. This happens to us a lot.” A dishonest person might be taking

A great year for the TBCC Foundation

Dr. Ross Tomlin TBCC President

As 2022 comes to an end, it is a great time to reflect on the year and what has been accomplished. This has been an exceptional year for TBCC with the passing of the $14.4M bond to construct a new Healthcare Education Building, developing a new strategic plan to move the college forward for the next seven years, and rebounding with our enrollments from the pandemic to grow 16% and exceed our longstanding goal of 500 full-time equivalent students, just to name a few. But our TBCC Foundation, a separate 501.c.3 organization that helps support our TBCC students through scholarships and fundraising for large college projects, has had an amazing year as well.

The TBCC Foundation is led by Britta Lawrence, who was promoted to the Executive Director role a year ago after being our Development Director for the previous two years. She has added three new board members to the Foundation over this past year, including Joe Warren, Alicia Ritter, and Ann Batchelder. Michael Weissenfluh, a retired TBCC faculty member, is the President of the Foundation Board.

A large part of the work done by the Foundation is

rious flavor from the spice rub applied to them before long, slow smoking.

Likewise, the smoked pulled pork there is a favorite. (If you haven’t tried the Bistro’s recent addition, a Cubano panini with smoked pulled pork, ham, cheese, pickles, and coarse-grain mustard, it’s a don’t-miss for carnivores.)

So when I read that the Barview Jetty Store was adding a pulled-pork barbecue pizza to the menu, I had to ask: “Is this Dennis’ smoked pulled pork?” Amanda assured me it was.

But it’s more than just honoring the past while bringing in new items and a new look. Recently, my wife, Julie, was making

raising money for scholarships to help students offset the costs of attending college. This past year, the Foundation gave out over $107,000 in scholarships to TBCC students. We honor the scholarship recipients and donors at the Mildred Davy memorial and Scholarship Recognition Luncheon in October. This year was the first in-person luncheon in three years and was a wonderful event with emotional stories from a board member and a TBCC student.

Many of our scholarships are from endowments that provide money each year from the interest earned. This year, we received a new endowment of $100,000 from Hampton Lumber and Family Forests for our Forestry and Manufacturing and Industrial Technology students. We also received $100,000 from the estate of Ben Nunez to add to his endowment and $25,000 from the Robert Riggert Family Foundation to start a

a blackberry pie for our beloved neighbor Kelly’s birthday. I’d brought home fresh blackberries from Fred Meyer, but I hadn’t bought enough, so Julie asked me to check the stores here in Rockaway. Neither one had blackberries, fresh or frozen, so I started to head towards Tillamook.

On the way there, it occurred to me that the Barview Jetty Store might have frozen fruit. I pulled into the lot and started looking through the store when Amanda spotted me and said hello, asking what I was looking for.

“Do you have any frozen blackberries?” I asked. “Julie’s making a pie for our neighbor’s birthday and I didn’t get enough at Freddie’s.”

Amanda walked with me to the frozen-food case where they had a selection

Healthcare Career-to-Career scholarship. A new Arts and Letters Endowment has also just been created in honor of the late John Stahl, a former TBCC Adjunct Faculty member. Stay tuned for more details on the new Stahl Endowment in the TBCC Foundation summer newsletter. These generous donations allow these scholarships to live on into perpetuity for our students.

A big event is planned for this coming January 14 at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds to raise money for our Career-to-Career scholarship program. Careerto-Career scholarships cover all the tuition for a degree or certificate for students that have been out of school for at least five years. The event will be the North Coast Throwdown Cornhole Tournament and will have up to 48 teams competing and having fun.

So the college continues to work hard to help our students be successful and reach their educational goals, which does change lives for the better. We are proud of the work of our Foundation and are excited to see the accomplishments achieved in 2023. Next month we will look ahead to the goals set for the rest of this academic year that will continue to move TBCC forward to even more achievements.

of what seemed to be everything except blackberries. Then she had a thought.

“I know I have some in my freezer next door,” she said. (I recalled that she and Dennis, with their daughter, live in a house near the store.) “I’ll be right back.” Sure enough, in minutes she returned with two packages of frozen mixed berries.

“Will this do?” I gave her a hug and bought a bottle of Oregon pinot noir to sip with Julie while she finished her baking. The pie was a big hit the next day. And that’s one of the things that makes Rockaway Beach what it is: as Mayor Sue Wilson told me several months ago, it’s people who look out for each other and step up to take care of each other. Like neighbors borrowing a cup of sugar, we’re a community.

Good news! The Tillamook Master Gardeners have extended their registration deadline to January 4, 2023.

We are now just a few days away from Christmas which means our shopping needs to move from the internet to local businesses. And we do have some charming local shops in our communities where you can find garden-related gifts. But you may need to reevaluate and think “outside the potting shed.”

For example, there are lots of local stores that carry unique items that could be used as garden art. Steppingstones are one idea and there are styles for a range of gardens. I like to gift garden fairies when I find cute ones. If they make me smile, chances are your gardener friend will smile, too. And did you know those garden gnomes – dating from the 13th and 16th centuries -

bring good luck and protection from “evil forces” when placed at the entrance of a garden?

For a beach-themed garden, local seashore shops also carry lots of cement figures like seahorses, pelicans, sea gulls and even a gargoyle or two. Just depends on what interests your gardener. Little did I suspect my daughterin-love was enchanted by dragons until she spotted one in the outside display area of a popular Rockaway Beach store. I was gifted a hand-crafted wooden pelican a few years ago, and while I

don’t put her outside, I enjoy her every day, reminded of someone who knows I love pelicans.

Other stores along the coast feature air plants (Tillandsia species) that require no soil, just a thorough soaking once a week. I love these little plants because they have such a tropical feel, and because I can put them on a seashell or in a glass jar and use them as decorations. It may take a little research before you hit those shops in Manzanita, but worth the trip.

Tillamook County also has an assortment of great florists and floral shops that may offer just the right gift. Think beyond amaryllis and poinsettia -which are seasonal - and move to something that can be enjoyed all year. A growing plant is always welcome and since winter is the time when we gardeners start to get garden-withdrawal, a house plant or two might be a perfect gift. Dish gardens

are lovely gifts and will give a bit of cheer to the gray days of winter. There are a few that have blooms, but most houseplants are grown more for foliage, so try to find one with attractive leaves. Most of the florists realize plants in a dish garden need to have the same growing conditions of soil type, light and water. It will help the florists to help you if you have an idea of the light source available. You probably don’t want to get a full-sun dish garden if its going in a dark corner, or a cactus garden meant to be placed in a humid bathroom. Some florists will also deliver within the county, but I recommend an in-person visit so you can see what you are buying. Lots of price ranges here, too.

your drugs or wearing your glasses as I write this, thanks to the USPS.

Now let’s cover “shipping partners” --- and the primary two are DHL and PitneyBowes.

About three months ago, I purchased a pair of boots through eBay from a company in New Jersey.

Three days later, tracking showed it was shipped. The following day tracking showed “Delivered to shipping partner. USPS awaits parcel.” I checked it every day for the next two weeks, and tracking still showed the same thing. I called the seller and was told the “shipping partner” they use is Pitney-Bowes. I told them that tracking showed they still had it in their possession after two weeks and asked them to call their shipping partner (Pitney-Bowes) to find out why they had not taken it to their post office. Did they call them? No. Two weeks later the tracking status had not changed.

box stores. Thera are lots of tools gardeners use like spades, trowels, cultivating forks, and pruners. Most gardeners have their own idea of right when it comes to tools, though. So, unless you know specifically what they use, best to go more with accessories than tools.

One example is a sharpener for those pruners and loppers.

Good ones can range in cost from $10 to $20 and some are even geared to include different angles so they can be used on a variety of tools.

Tool belts or tote bags are also helpful, especially for a beginning gardener. And you can’t go wrong with a selection of gardening gloves. An assortment of types of gloves (nitrile, leather, long gauntlet) tucked into a tote bag would be an excellent gift for an experienced or beginning gardener.

Being a little creative this year will not only give pleasure to the gardeners on your

finally gets into the hands of the USPS.

Bottom line: shipping partners are anything but partners. Last time I checked, a “partner” is supposed to help – not hinder or obstruct. Let’s revisit the U.S. Postal Service. I’m not quite finished.

About four or five months ago – when I was watching the tracking updates on a package I was eagerly awaiting – something I had spend a lot of money on – low and behold, I saw that tracking showed “Attempted delivery – no access to delivery location”! You see, I have a very large mailbox right next to the street – and my gate was wide open! Not only was this a small package that easily would have fit inside my mailbox, but it was not even left on my porch! Again, I am sure I am not the Lone Ranger when it comes to this phenomenon. This can only be a postal carrier who simply did not want to do what they are being paid very well to do.

I then asked why no one answers the phone when I call. Her reply was “We are under-staffed.” “Isn’t your postmaster supposed to answer the phone here?” I asked. “Yes. That is true.” She replied.

I was expecting another important package that same day. Tracking showed it as “out for delivery”.

My mail was not delivered that day. Instead, tracking had been changed to “We apologize. We were unable to attempt delivery of your item on December 7th, 2022 in Tillamook, OR 97141 due to an unforeseen operational issue. Your item will go out for delivery on the next delivery day.”

An unforeseen operational issue? Really? It has been this way for the past two months! I would not call this “unforeseen.” To say the residents of Bay City are angry over this issue would be an understatement.

And how are things in your town?

I called the seller back. The following day I received an email from the seller, offering me a 30% refund for my trouble. I replied, telling them I was demanding a 100% refund for something I purchased from them and had never received. They refused. So I then got eBay involved, who forced them to refund me the full amount. The boots were never delivered.

When it comes to DHL, at this point they have not lost anything I ordered, but it takes two to three weeks from the time they receive a package from the seller/shipper – before it

Like you, I work hard for my money and expect better than this. So is there a solution for us, the American Consumers? Sad to say it, but no. We are forced to take a bite out of an elk turd sandwich, time after time. And then just wait – and hope. Sometimes things eventually show up, or they don’t.

And again, COVID is not the culprit! It is the ineptness of this day and age – and we are the victims.

On December 5th, I visited the post office in Tillamook and asked one of the clerks at the counter what was going on the Bay City’s mail. She looked at another clerk who gave her a funny look, and she said “There is no mail carrier for Bay City.”

Business owners beware of County Ordinance 88

Business owners of Tillamook county should be worried. Go to the courthouse and get a copy of Ordinance 88. My personal biased opinion is that if our commissioners vote this through, all three should be immediately recalled. There is a second public hearing sometime although I have not heard the date yet. Read it thoroughly!

Joann Caroline Haynes was born September 25, 1939 in Bethany, Missouri to Shelby and Margaret Houston and passed away December 11, 2022 in Tillamook, Oregon at the age of 83.

Marlys Floy Stangel, 91, of Nehalem Oregon, passed away on December 6th, 2022.

Marlys was born on December 28th, 1930 to Henry

Myrt passed away peacefully on November 13, 2022 after an ongoing battle with Lewy Body Dementia.

Myrt was able to visit with family in her final week which brought her much comfort.

Myrt was born at the beginning of the Great Depression to Helen and Gus Vandehey on a farm in Verboort, Oregon. Being the oldest girl of 8 children, she worked on the farm and helped with her younger siblings. It wasn’t until the birth of her last three brothers that Helen went to the hospital for the births. Originally the farm lacked indoor plumbing and running water. They sold eggs and strawberries as well as grew grain and raised cows. Times were tougher than most of us can imagine.

She attended grade school at Greenville elementary and went to high school in Banks.

After school, while working at the Tip Top Restaurant in Forest Grove she met the love of her life Wayne (Willie) Williams. When she refused to loan him money to take her out, he borrowed it from his sister Lois. That would turn into the beginning of a 63 year marriage that was filled with love and devotion. They were married at St. Francis of Assis in Roy, Oregon on January 13, 1951.

Just before the birth of their first child Kathy in November of 1951, Myrt quit working to be a stay-at-home mom. Wayne continued to work for Diamond Lumber working his way up from the green chain to the head Millwright Electrician. Ken was born in November of 1952

and Patti followed in October of 1956. After a family trip to Alaska in 1958, Diamond Lumber moved the mill to the air base in Tillamook. The family moved to Netarts for a short period of time before they settled on 3 acres along Netarts Bay on the way to Cape Lookout State Park. The family would live in an 8 x 40 trailer while they built a house which they moved into in 1964.

After the kids were in school, Wayne encouraged her to start her own business. In late 1965 they bought property down the hill from the house on Netarts Bay and opened Wee Willie’s Restaurant on Memorial Day in 1966. Originally it seated 65 and by 1987 when it was sold, they were serving 200 to 2000 people a day. It grew at a rate that required help outside of the family to be hired and in 1983 Patti and her husband came to work full time. Myrt was constantly tweaking recipes, revising the menu, and making the operation more efficient. She was well known for her baked goods—it was not unheard of to make several hundred pies a week and dozens of batches of cookies. Wee Willie’s Restaurant was featured in major magazines, United Airlines literature and books on hiking, travel and biking. During this time Wayne was promoted to foreman at Diamond Lumber, but didn’t enjoy the position. He started his own portable sawmill and started cutting alder for a paint brush handle factory in Bay City.

In 1969 Wayne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and Myrt’s life would change dramatically. She would now be the sole breadwinner as well as the main caregiver for Wayne. With the help of Dr. Swank at OSHU she turned the grim diagnosis around and after several years Wayne was able to physically get around; work at the restaurant; and enjoy reading and his puzzles.

In 1978 they bought property up the Trask River, but didn’t move up there until 1987 when they sold the restaurant. They

built a beautiful home and started a Christmas tree farm. They had also purchased property in the Three Rivers Recreational Area near Madras, Oregon. Ken built a cabin there. They finished the inside which included many “off grid” features. The family spent many Christmas Holidays there playing cards and board games, building snow men and sitting by the fire. Even though the house on the Trask was secluded and had an abundance of birds and wildlife; the maintenance of both properties and the long, dreary winters were catching up to them.

In 2004 they sold the cabin and in 2005 the house on the Trask. They would then move to the Bend-Redmond area on 2.5 acres of flat property with a one level home. The weather was better and Ken was nearby working as a builder in the area. But by 2010-2011 Wayne’s MS was coming out of remission and by this time Ken had moved back to Tillamook to work as the Bend area had collapsed. So, the task of maintaining the homestead and taking care of Wayne became increasingly hard for Myrt. They made the decision to move back to the Portland area in 2013. Wayne passed away at the age of 86 on January 6, 2014. The quality and longevity of his life was a testament to the devotion and loving care Myrt provide.

Myrt moved in with Patti and her husband Eric in the Damascus area and would continue to enjoy gardening which had been a life long passion. Patti encouraged her to take up painting. She appears to have been the only one in the family to have artistic talent! She painted many landscapes and sold some at local art shows. Patti would continue to provide wonderful care for her as her disease gradually got the better of her. She was an “independent” hard headed Dutch woman, so it was devastating for her to lose the ability to do many of the things she loved.

She was preceded in death by her husband Wayne (Willie), her brothers Everett and Elmer Vandehey, and her sister, Ellamae Schneider.

THS Boys basketball notches first win against Newport

Will Chappell Headlight Sports

Tillamook’s boys’ basketball team got its first win of the season on December 16, beating the Newport Cubs 66-61 in an exciting come from behind victory at home.

Tanner Hoskins led the Cheesemakers with 19 points, while new starter and freshman Griffyn Boomer, chipped in 17 on a strong shooting night for the team.

The Mooks jumped out to an early 8-0 lead, with Boomer contributing five early points.

Newport answered back quickly from outside the arc to tie the game at eight before taking a 16-11 lead moments later.

The Mooks responded with a scoring flurry of their own from Hoskins and Zeyon Hurliman, who added 10 on the night, to even the game at 16 with a minute left in the quarter.

But two threes in quick succession from the Cubs put them ahead 22-16 at the buzzer.

Newport’s shooting was streaky throughout the night, and the Mooks weathered the spasmatic scoring barrages with consistent offensive

output of their own.

After extending their lead at the end of the first quarter, the Cubs allowed the Mooks to cut into it as they fell cold to start the second.

Tillamook was aggressive on the offensive end of the floor, attacking the basket and drawing fouls and had entered the bonus shortly into the second quarter.

The Mooks went 61% from the line as a team on the night, but Hoskins was 11 for 12 and repeatedly made the Cubs pay for reaching in.

Tillamook had cut the lead to two shortly after the midpoint of the second quarter before another flurry of three threes gave Newport a 38-29 lead at the break.

But that was the last barrage from deep by the Cubs on the night, as the second half saw them fail to replicate the three-point output of the first.

In the early third quarter, the teams played to a draw with Newport holding a 4535 lead midway through.

But then, Judah Werner led an offensive explosion for the Mooks with a three-point shot and layup sandwiching a Hoskins layup to cut the lead to 45-42.

Werner had 13 points in the game, with six coming during the third quarter as he led the Mooks’ comeback.

Sensing a shift in momentum following the seven-point swing, Tillamook locked down further defensively and by the time Boomer hit a midrange jumper as the quarter ended, the Mooks had a 49-48 lead.

The Cheesemakers kept the pressure on in the fourth, building the lead to five in the first minute and never looking back.

Newport’s outside shooting woes continued and steady shooting from the stripe by Hoskins late iced the game for the Mooks.

The 65-61 victory was the Cheesemakers’ first on the season, improving their record to 1-3.

They will look to continue their success next week in Roby’s Tournament in Tillamook.

OBITUARY POLICY

The Headlight Herald has three options for submitting obituaries:

Lady Mooks drop close one to Willamina

Will Chappell Headlight Sports

The Tillamook Cheesemakers girls’ basketball team continued its rocky start to the season, falling 42-48 against the Willamina Bulldogs at home on December 15.

Tillamook’s defensive pressure kept the game close, while streaky shooting and turnovers kept the Mooks searching for their first win three games into the season.

The Cheesemakers came out strong, forcing five turnovers early in the first quarter to take an early lead.

Halfway through the quarter, the score was 9-6, but for the next four minutes the Mooks went cold. The Bulldogs worked the paint for a couple of baskets to take a 10-9 lead into the first break.

Tillamook’s cold streak extended into the second quarter, allowing Willamina to build an 18-11 lead by the four-minute mark.

But the Mooks answered back shortly after, as a three from Gabi Weber-Garcia and a layup from Vivian Vogel cut the lead to two before a oneand-one from Jaeden Haertel tied the game at 18.

Weber-Garcia was the leading scorer on the night, putting up ten points. McKenna Haertel and Aubrey

Hilton each put up nine for the Cheesemakers.

After tying the game, the teams both struggled to score for the rest of the half and the Cheesemakers went into the locker room trailing 21-23.

The second half started off poorly for the Mooks, as they once again went cold from the floor, failing to score for the first four minutes of the frame.

This drought allowed Willamina to build a 28-21 lead, to which they clung for the rest of the game.

In the fourth quarter, the Mooks once again ratcheted up the defensive pressure forcing a string of turnovers from Willamina.

The Mooks took advantage of these and free throw struggles by the Bulldogs to cut the lead to 36-33 with five minutes remaining, but they could not close the final gap.

Willamina rallied, attacking the basket and reestablishing slight breathing room over the Mooks.

The Cheesemakers found some success feeding Tori Pesterfield in the post, as she tallied 8 points on the night, but multiple failed entry passes in the game’s waning moments stymied the Mooks hopes of a comeback.

Tillamook fell to 0-3 on the season with the 42-48 loss.

Tillamook boys hoops suffer tough road loss to Gladstone

Mike Weber For The Herald

GLADSTONE - The Tillamook High Cheesemakers (1-3) were hoping to get their first win in an OSAA Class 4A boys basketball nonleague road game last week against the Gladstone High Gladiators (3-2).

Tillamook had a rough start though after falling behind by a double digit first quarter margin. The Cheesemakers, guided by fourthyear Coach Johnny Begin, fought back though and eventually trimmed the margin to just four points early in the third quarter at 32-28. However, the Cheesemakers just couldn’t regain their momentum as the Gladiators pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 64-43 win Dec. 13 at Gladstone High School.

“We got tired and we’re still coming off a great football season where we made it to the semifinals, so I’ve only had these kids for six practice’s, so we’re still in football shape and we’re not in basketball shape yet,” said Begin, whose squad includes 10 players that were on the Mooks football team. “We’re battling back and getting in shape and trying to figure out our identity as a team with player rotations. We’ve actually improved a lot from our last couple of games. We got our turnovers down to 20, which is a better, because we’ve had about 28 each game, so we have to continue to clean things up and take care of the ball and improve our passing and we’ll do that. We’ll get better and we’ll be able to compete better by the time our Cowapa League schedule starts (Jan. 10 versus Astoria).”

Tillmook grabbed the initial lead in the contest at 2-0

when senior Judah Werner (team high 12 points) scored on a layup in the lane. Gladstone then went on a 13-0 run to build a 13-2 lead. After the teams traded baskets, Gladstone led 15-4 and Tillamook took a timeout.

The Gladiators remained ahead with an 11-point lead at the end of the first quarter at 19-8. The Mooks responded with a strong offensive surge at the outset of the second quarter. A 7-0 Mooks run was capped by a fast break layup by junior Tanner Hoskins (six points), making it 19-15 and forcing a Gladstone timeout with 6:07 left until halftime.

Gladstone then outscored Tillmook 13-8 to build a 3223 halftime lead. The Mooks again came out strong at the beginning of the third quarter and had a 5-0 run, capped by a three pointer by freshman Griffyn Boomer (five points), making it 32-28 with 6:03 left in the quarter.

“I was hoping that we could compete a little better in the second half, but we just lost our legs and we couldn’t hit our outside shots,” said Begin. “They (Gladiators) outrebounded us too, so that hurt us because they had second and third shooting opportunities and then we would only get one shot on each of our offensive possessions.”

The Gladiatorrs then went on a 12-2 run to regain another double digit margin at 44-30, forcing a Tillamook timeout with 3:44 remaining in the third. The Mooks just couldn’t develop any kind of offensive rhythm from that point on though as the Gladiators were in control for the remainder of the contest. Gladstone led 50-35 at the end of the third and then outscored Tillamook 14-8 in the fourth for the final margin.

Their next games come in Roby’s Tournament in Tillamook next week, with

matchups against North Marion on Tuesday and Banks on

Wednesday. Please send any comments to headlightreporter@countrymedia.net.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY WELLNESS Healthy Holiday hacks and merry

Tillamook County Wellness

Between the winter weather, abundance of sweet treats, and chaos of coordinating family gatherings, it can be difficult to maintain your usual routines during the holidays. Check out some of these tips and tricks for finding the balance in enjoying holiday festivities from Lewis Martin, Nutrition Director at the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council, followed by a few creative “merry mocktails” for those looking to take a break from alcohol this season:

Healthy Holiday Hacks Make Breakfast the most important meal of your day: Some people believe that by skipping out on food intake earlier in the day, they can compensate later on and load

up on calories at a gathering without consequence. The truth is, this sabotaging practice can cause you to eat well beyond your daily needs in one sitting, causing spikes in blood sugar and prompting your body to store unneeded excess energy. Consuming a high protein, high fiber breakfast at the start of your day can help you better manage hunger, and give you solid control when dinner time arrives. Try options like eggs with whole wheat toast, lowfat Greek yogurt with high fiber granola, or oatmeal cooked in lowfat milk.

Brighten up your beverage choice: Soda, beer, and cocktails can sneak hundreds of calories into a meal without having any effect on how full you feel. Instead, enjoy sparkling water or a cozy hot cup of coffee/tea. If you’re hankering for something

sweeter, you can even try diet or “zero” soda options, which don’t contain any calories or sugar.

Double up on veggies: If you’re hardwired to clean your plate, use your impulse to your advantage. Load up on non-starchy vegetables like roasted carrots, steamed green beans, or savory collard greens in place of stuffing, potatoes, or bread. Pair with your favorite protein choice, like turkey, and you have a seriously delicious meal.

Don’t stop moving: With great energy from calories, comes the great responsibility to use that energy! Squeeze in your fitness routine before heading over to or hosting a gathering; catch up with friends and family on a brisk walk before your meal; or start a new tradition by hosting a backyard Turkey Bowl!

Bring your own, healthier dessert: Holiday desserts are often the most calorie and sugar-dense options at gatherings, and can wreak havoc on your efforts to stay on track with your health goals. Preparing a lighter, lower sugar dessert can not only provide confidence that you’ll be sticking with ideal food choices, but will give you the chance to share something awesome with your loved ones. Head over to our Healthy Recipes page on the Tillamook County Wellness website for more inspiration!

Rethink the drink: Many holiday parties have alcohol as an optional drink for adults. Did you know that more than 1 in 5 Oregonians

drink excessively? Examples of excessive drinking include binge or heavy drinking. Excessive drinking is harmful to a person’s body and can increase the risk of certain cancer (breast, colon, prostate, etc.), increase the risk of heart disease, and can lead to changes in behavior or mood. To learn more about you risk, check out the Oregon Health Authority’s ‘Rethink the Drink’ campaign located at: www.rethinkthedrink.com.

The Merry Mocktail List Take a break from alcohol or pace yourself this holiday season and try a Merry Mocktail! These drinks are a delicious substitute for alcoholic beverages. Be aware of the sugar content and look for low-sugar or sugar substitute options and fresh, natural juices. Each of the drinks below are poured over ice but can also be made as a martini or in a champagne flute. You can also find some delicious and refreshing nonalcoholic sparkling hops drinks in stores such as Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher, H2OPS Sparkling Hop Water, and Pelican Brewery Sparkle Hops. Cheers!

Mocktail Mule

Ginger beer or ale, cranberry juice, 4-5 fresh cranberries, 2 slices of lime, mint Muddle mint and lime with ice, add 4-5 fresh cranberries and more ice, and fill half with ginger beer and half with cranberry juice. Top with fresh mint and lime.

Sparkle Razz Razz-Cranberry La Croix, cranberry Kombucha, fresh rosemary, 2 slices of limes, 4 raspberries Muddle raspberries, rosemary and lime at the bottom of the glass, fill with ice, fill half with Kombucha and half with La Croix. Top with a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Orange Cinnamon Fizz Sparkling cider or ginger ale, orange juice, 2 slices of lemons or limes, ½ teaspoon cinnamon mixed with 3 tablespoons sugar (or sugar substitute) Rub a lemon or lime around the rim of your glass and then dip into the sugar/cinnamon mix. Fill the glass with ice, add orange juice and squeeze in lemon or lime. Top off with sparkling cider or ginger ale.

HH22-491 Tillamook Bay Community College Request for Proposals - RFQ 001-2023 Architectural Services

For New Healthcare Education Building Notice to proposers, all responses shall be: Submitted to Tillamook Bay Community College by Email to Pat Ryan, Facilities Director: patryan@tillamookbaycc.edu Proposals will be received until: January 10, 2023 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. A copy of the Request for Propos-

als is available on the College’s website www.tillamookbaycc.edu or from Julie Haymart of Wenaha Group: julieh@wenahagroup. com. A non-mandatory meeting / site walk will be held at the Tillamook Bay Community College, 4301 Third Street, Tillamook, Oregon 97141, at 10:00 am on January 3, 2023. All proposals shall be in the format requested and/ or furnished by Tillamook Bay Community College, herein after referred to as College, or they may be rejected by the College. It shall be the proposer’s responsibility to ensure that the proposal is delivered to the College at the specified email address before the time and date set for proposal closing as noted in the solicitation. College will not be respon-

sible for proposals delivered to any location other than the email address listed above. Proposals delivered to another address will be considered non-responsive. Interested firms shall have no unauthorized contact with College staff or Board Members during the selection process. Tillamook Bay Community College obtained $8M in matching funds from the Oregon State Legislature in summer 2021 and voters approved a $14.4M bond measure in May 2022. These funds will be used to construct a new 25,000 square feet Healthcare Education facility on its campus that will include offices, classrooms, healthcare program labs, and a 360-seat community event center that can be divided into at least three separate meeting spaces. The architect contract period is expected to begin immediately upon selection and extend through completion and close-out of the projects. It is likely that a general contractor will be selected using a select-list, qualifications-based lump sum bid process. The College has hired Wenaha Group, Inc. as the overall Bond Program Manager. The College may, for good cause, reject any or all proposals upon a finding it is in the public interest to do so and to rescind the award of any contract at any time before the execution of said contract by all parties with no liability against the College. Questions shall be directed to Julie Haymart of Wenaha Group: julieh@wenahagroup.com
