THS teacher, Brooklyn Bush selected for national award Instructor recognized for outstanding performance with agricultural education

B

rooklyn Bush of Tillamook High School in Tillamook, Oregon, is one of only six agricultural educators nationwide to receive the 2020 National Association of Agricultural Educators Outstanding Early Career Teacher Award, presented during the 2020 NAAE Virtual Convention, November 30 through December 4.

The Outstanding Early Career Teacher Award is given to an NAAE member in their third to eighth year of teaching who have exemplified great teaching methods in the classroom and have been dedicated to their career through personal and professional growth. Bush has been teaching at Tillamook since 2015 where she sees over 300 students each year and teaches animal and plant science pathways in her classroom.

She invests in her students as much as she can through building relationships in order to meet their

individual needs as well as the needs of the different local businesses that a lot of her students take part in. Bush works hard to connect with the Tillamook community to create endless opportunities for her students’ success.

“The agricultural diversity makes being the agriculture teacher in Tillamook really excited because of the support from the community and the chance to teach many diverse topics,” Bush said. “I firmly believe that if an educator invests their time wisely in students and builds connections with them, then the students will invest in their own learning and truly dive into the material the teacher is presenting.”

Like most educators, Bush takes the time to really get to know her students, acknowledging their strengths and working hard to motivate them to put the effort into their education. She

celebrates her students throughout the year by selecting a student of the month in her classroom as this encourages students to continue to work towards classroom and personal goals. Even before the outbreak of COVID-19, she recognized the importance of using online resources and ensuring additional handouts of materials are available as she holds her students accountable for their own learning. Bush challenges students to think outside the box and incorporates a combination of methods that allow students to use visual, kinesthetic and auditory skills.

Aside from teaching, Bush understands the importance of being a lifelong learner as she participates in professional development organizations to better her knowledge and teaching methods. Over her 5 years of

Tillamook County now designated as ‘lower risk’ ith COVID-19 cases increasing In Oregon, Gov. Kate Brown on Wednesday, Nov. 25, announces that strict health and safety measures will likely need to be in place for at least 21 counties found to be at extreme risk for COVID-19 spread following the two-week freeze, which ends Wednesday, Dec. 2. On Monday, Nov. 30, the Oregon Health Authority reexamined county data to determine which counties qualify for each risk level following the two-week freeze.

“Tillamook County was classified as a ‘lower risk’ county today,” the Tillamook County Community Health Centers stated on Nov. 25. “Effective Dec. 3, the county will be able to reopen under limited capacity.”

Some of the measures for lower risk include: social indoor gathering size is max of 10 people, recommended limit is four households; outdoor social gathering size is a max of 12 people;

indoor dining is available at 50 percent capacity, with a midnight close time; indoor recreation and fitness establishments have a maximum 50 percent capacity; indoor entertainment establishments, such as indoor theaters and museums, have a maximum 50 percent capacity; retail stores, such as grocery stores, as well as indoor and outdoor shopping centers and malls have a maximum 75 percent capacity and encourage curbside pickup; faith institutions, funeral homes, mortuaries and cemeteries have an indoor max of 75 percent capacity and 300 outdoor; limited office work is available; outdoor recreation and fitness establishments, such as parks and hiking trails, as well as outdoor entertainment establishments, such as outdoor gardens and aquariums, have a 300 max capacity; personal services, such as salons, are allowed; and long-term care visitation is allowed.

illamook County Clerk Tassi O’Neil provided an election update during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Nov. 25. As of Monday, Nov. 23, O’Neil has certified the election results.

The Tillamook County’s website is updated to show the final results.

“We ended up in Tillamook County at 82.31 percent casting ballots, having a total number of registered voters of 20,707 of which 17,044 voted,” O’Neil said.

Several cities races were close.

The numbers that are certified are the correct numbers.

“Our ballot Suzanne Weber machine is an amazing machine,” O’Neil said.

Tillamook Councilor, Ward 5 had a three way tie between Tony McGarvey, Jim Carpenter and Ryan Sisco.

There was a tiebreaker later in the afternoon of Nov. 25. O’Neil told the Headlight Herald Friday, Nov. 27, that Josh Brown Carpenter was the winner.

O’Neil said the City of Tillamook has to certify back to the clerk’s office all the winners for all positions on the November ballot. With that certification, they need to indicate that the candidates are qualified to hold the positions.

“By law, I have to do an automatic recount in accordance with a statute that was put in place several years ago,” O’Neil said.

Bay City Mayor David McCall read a proclamation to O’Neil and her staff. The city declared the proclamation during a city council meeting Nov. 10 that recognized the Tillamook County Clerk’s Office and their work in conducting the November 2020 General Election. McCall will be presenting the proclamation to O’Neal as soon as possible.

“That means more to me than you know and I know for my staff as well,” O’Neal said.

Commission Chair Bill Baertlein thanked the City of Bay City for stepping up and making the proclamation.

Tillamook remains stable as other areas see rise in hospitalizations Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

In Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) weekly report for Nov. 16-22, weekly hospitalizations from COVID-19 rose to 366, a 26 percent increase and the highest weekly yet reported in the pandemic.

During the week, 129,564 COVID-19 tests were conducted.

Oregon’s hospitality for Region 1, according to

OHA’s data on Monday, Nov. 30, – which includes Tillamook, Clatsop, Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah and Washington counties – for adult ICU beds, there were 283 beds occupied and 60 beds available. For adult nonICU beds, such as medical/surgical beds, there were 1,707 beds occupied and 175 beds available.

The Tillamook County Community Health Centers COVID-19 weekly case summary for Nov.

20-25 reports five new confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 and one new presumptive case.

There are seven active cases in the county. This brings the county to 99 positive COVID-19 cases.

Two individuals are currently hospitalized.

Adventist Health Tillamook Marketing and Communications Manager Cherie Plaisted said the capacity of the Tillamook hospital is expandable if there is an increase in pa-

tients. At this time, Tillamook has not experienced a surge in patients.

“Since we are a part of the Adventist Health hospital system, we have access to additional supplies, beds and expertise should we need it,” Plaisted said.

Adventist Health Tillamook also has an intensive care unit, Plaisted added.

At Adventist Health Tillamook, a health care provider must order the COVID-19 test.

“We encourage patients who think they need testing for COVID-19 symptoms or exposures to call our offices and make an appointment for an in-person or virtual evaluation,” Plaisted said.

“Tell the provider about your symptoms and how you think you may have been exposed to the virus during the call.”

Plaisted said patients must meet the testing criteria outlined by OHA and the Centers for Disease

Control to be tested at an Adventist Health facility.

In Tillamook County, testing is limited to those who are symptomatic.

People can call Adventist Health Tillamook at 503-842-4444 or Tillamook County Community Health Centers COVID-19 Nurse Information Line at 503-842-3940.

Man presumed drowned after boat capsized in Netarts Bay Emergency personnel from the Oregon State Police, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Netarts Fire and Rescue, and the United States Coast Guard responded at 2:20 p.m. Friday, Nov. 27, to a capsized boat at the mouth of Netarts Bay. Preliminary investigation revealed that two people, Srun Hong and Lyda Hong, both of Fairview, were crabbing in a small inflatable boat

with an electric motor when the boat capsized in heavy surf.

Lyda Hong was recovered in the surf by a US Coast Guard helicopter crew. She was wearing a life jacket and was transported to Tillamook Regional Medical Center. She was treated and released.

Srun Hong, who was not wearing a life jacket, has not been located and is presumed drowned.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office locates missing 70-year-old man Tillamook County Sheriff’s Deputies, along with Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue, were called at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 26, to attempt to locate a missing 70-year-old man from Hillsboro, Ore. who was hunting in the Neskowin area. After separating at approximately 3 p.m., the man failed to rejoin his hunting party and friends called him in missing after it became dark.

According to the sheriff’s office, the missing man had a two-way radio, but

no contact was able to be made. Sheriff’s deputies and volunteers searched until approximately 12:30 a.m. Friday morning, Nov. 27, before calling off the search for the evening.

Deputies returned at 7 a.m. Nov. 27 to resume searching. Contact was established with the missing hunter via the radio and he was able to make his way to rescuers and was picked up near Forest Road 12, where he was taken to the Search and Rescue Operations Base. Besides being cold, he appeared

to be uninjured. The man had gotten turned around in the timber after dark and spent a cold night out in the woods. He had been unable to hear rescuers calling over the PA and sounding their sirens looking for him.

As a reminder, when recreating in our amazing forests, please let others know where you will be and go with friends. Dress accordingly and be prepared for potential emergencies, knowing our weather can change drastically over a short period.

Nestucca Valley schools to continue distance learning learning. Nestucca Valley School District plans to continue comprehensive distance learning through the second quarter.

The school district is committed to comprehensive distance learning through the second nineweek period, Superintendent Misty Wharton stated in a community letter on

Nov. 16.

“While this is no one’s preferred method, it will be the most consistent and safe method available through these next two months,” Wharton wrote.

Wharton stated that their leadership team is working with the new guidance to prepare staff, school buildings and

request a Candidate Application. A letter of interest and the completed application must be returned to Tillamook School District, 2510 First Street, Tillamook, OR 97141, not later than December 21, 2020.

The Board will appoint a Director for Position #2 at the January 11, 2021, board meeting which will be held at the District Administration Office.

The Tillamook Ecumenical Community (TEC) will be facilitating the Christmas Basket program for Tillamook again this year. In the past, the Tillamook Volunteer Firemen have conducted a Toy Drive at Fred Meyers the first weekend of December for these baskets.

This year, the volunteer firemen are

No more clear cuts near watersheds

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is requesting an extended comment period regarding the proposed Olympic Line clearcut.

That land, owned by Stimson Lumber, directly abuts Jetty Creek.

The notice of this proposed cut was issued on November 20, and only allows fifteen calendar days (not business days) before the work may proceed on December 5. In fact, the fifteen day time period is effectively shortened by the Thanksgiving Day holiday, making the time available even more inadequate. This simply is not enough time for public notice and consideration of this cut which is very likely to have ad-

verse effects on the primary source of drinking water for the City of Rockaway Beach, Jetty Creek.

We are concerned, because a large part of the 55 acres that is intended to be cut is so close to the main stream of Jetty Creek.

While this may be legally allowable under the outdated and inadequate Oregon Forest Practices Act, we believe that because this area slopes so steeply towards the creek, additional sediment introduced into the creek will adversely affect the water that Rockaway Beach depends on. The Jetty Creek watershed is fragile. Further logging and subsequent pesticide spraying has a high probability of creating public health risks for the citizens of Rockaway Beach by jeopardizing its water quality and quantity. The extensive clearcuts that already exist in the watershed

create low stream flows in the summer (when more water is needed) and high stream flows in the winter.

In recent years, millions of dollars have been spent in this community to upgrade the water filtration plant and for salmon restoration.

Additional clearcutting may jeopardize that work.

Since Jetty Creek is listed as supporting a threatened coho run and a wild steelhead run, any adverse effect on water quality is especially significant. There is known to be a high correlation between clearcutting on high-angle slopes, landslides, and erosion that affects salmon runs. Logging so close to a stream can increase water turbidity and temperature, both of which are detrimental to salmon runs.

Olympic Line is one of the last areas along the creek

illamook County is rich in natural beauty and waterways that has enabled Tillamook County Parks to create a park system that is enjoyed by locals and sought after by tourists. The philosophy when parks came into being around the US is that they are meant to be enjoyed by now and in the future by all. To make public parks inclusive they have traditionally been free or minimal fees are charged.

That philosophy is probably why our city parks are free, other county parks, state parks and national parks charge minimal fees. Most cities, counties realize that although private entities often charge higher prices there must be a draw that is free to attract tourists and folks to move to or visit an area. City, county budgets are built to keep this concept alive.

Tillamook County is rich. Tillamook County citizens voted in the Tillamook Transient Lodging tax, implemented January 2014, which is a permanent 10% tax that provides a way for tourists to pay their share for services necessary to deal with an increased temporary population, fund projects broadly related to tourism, promotion of the Oregon Coast, fund acquisition of land, ability to build or improve facilities related to tourism. An impressive amount of grants has funded major projects throughout the county, saving money for the county general fund and recipients budgets. The TLT fund, in the July 1, 2020-2021 Tillamook County statement of budget has a revenue balance $4,582,750.

Tillamook County is rich. As reported in the 2018-19 Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances the General Fund for the year ended June 30, 2019 of the county’s annual financial report (CAPR) had a fiscal year-end balance of $15,755,58. This is the last year I could access.

Tillamook County Parks Department is solvent, doing well, in the last 3 years stashing money away in Acct no.9050 $1,689,030 for land acquisition listed as expenditures. $600,000.00 in account #9084 for infrastructure, $173,750 in Acct No. 9995 unappropriated ending fund balance, $25,000 in Acct.no. 9900 is operating contingency.

by small margins the short fall of ($465,700) for fiscal year 20-21 would be covered.

Tillamook County Commissioners are poor on transparency. As essential workers the Tillamook County Commissioners (TBC), support staff have continued to work. Because of the COVID pandemic public buildings have been closed, had limited access to the public. The TBC did what is required by law to inform the public. They did not put out press releases stating specific intentions, ask for citizen input with a week or more to respond to this issue. The Tillamook County library has been closed so access to computers or the HH newspaper was unavailable. Restaurants do not have newspapers or computers for community use because of COVID. The TBC website is not updated in all areas, for example the orders, resolutions. Past agendas are available only by audio.

Only board meetings are televised. The Oct.14, 2020 order #20-051 I needed to research this issue is not posted. I had to call to request a copy. There are at least 4 broken links in the Oct. 14th agenda document under legislative-administrative. The summary of TLT tax revenue could not be forwarded due to a failed computer virus scan.

I missed 45 minutes of a 1hr. 15 min. tele-conference meeting because of not being accepted into the meeting. A phone call to the county commissioner’s office finally got me in. The secretary told me I could have attended the meeting in- person but the legal notice said no in-person attendance offered. When I asked to many questions I was put on “the list”, call county counsel. When I mentioned the freedom of

information act to county counsel, I was told they do not have a form. I was to write in detail what information was wanted, they would analyze how much it would cost for information and get back to me. The point is what is required by law is not adequately working in the best of times, worse during COVID, so it is not meeting the law.

I called Senator Betsy Johnson, discussing the fee issue, the lack of transparency. She felt there should be outreach for citizen input and it should be put to a vote.

TBC finalized several items during this time, agreeing to buy the 6-acre Jensen property in Pacific City for $3.250,000.00 using TLT funds and proposed day use access fees as stated in the September 4, 2020 article in the Tillamook County Pioneer.

Commissioner Baertlein, said “This is a great one we could not pass up.” I personally feel only a rich person, government agency, corporation, or non- profit would feel this is a great price for 6 acres of unimproved property. It is now in the due diligence phase closing in 6 months from the time the offer was accepted. In the 20-21 budget Pacific City/Woods parking mgmt. fund $800,000 was transferred into revenue, parking. Approximately $770,000 is listed in expenditures with statement contracted service, no mention what for.

The Tillamook Board of Commissioners fail at empathy for the citizens of Tillamook county as they show no acknowledgement by their actions, under the circumstance of 2020 events, that lack of transparency and raising fees is not appropriate. The

But we all have a choice… we can either let that get us down…or we can find new ways to get us in the holiday spirit. This might

n Letters Continued from Page 4 that has larger trees, since the rest of the Jetty Creek watershed has already been extensively clearcut going back to about 2003.

If Olympic Line is clearcut, there will be very few trees remaining in the watershed that are older than 20 years (most of them are far younger). Also, that area is highly susceptible to landslides. In fact, there is already evidence of earth movement, since a large fissure presently exists within that area.

In summary, the area proposed to be clearcut, Olympic Line, is the most beautiful woods left in the Jetty Creek watershed ... an island of second-growth trees that have old growth characteristics with a healthy understory, all of which stands out in an area dominated by tree plantations. Compared to the other areas of the watershed that have already been cut, this area has much more biodiversity, This small island of biodiversity needs to be left so it can be a source for natural forest organisms that can help heal the surrounding clearcuts.

For all the reasons stated above, we appeal to the Oregon Department of Forestry to extend the time for public comment on this proposed cut. Fifteen calendar days is not enough time. And finally, we appeal to Andrew Miller, CEO of Stimson Lumber, to not clearcut one of the few remaining vestiges of forest in the Jetty Creek watershed upon which the citizens of the City of Rockaway Beach depend.

Too much damage has already been done to the Jetty Creek watershed. For the future, let’s all do what would be best for the drinking water and the fish.

n Column Continued from Page 4 order states the TBC deems the fee increase rates to be reasonable and fair. They are not reasonable and fair when factfinding has shown these fees are 100% more than what the other 6 counties on the coast charge for their county parks day use access fees. The fees are not reasonable and fair when citizen input was not asked for and citizens were not allowed to vote on this.

Instead of looking at the locals and tourists as dollar signs TCBC needs to look at us as people who are in need.

Tillamook County Parks have generated $617,359.00 from 2017-2021 (They anticipate $120.000 in 202021 down from $190,000 the year before) yet they do not receive this for park funding. Tillamook County parks should not be expected to provide funding for law enforcement anywhere.

That should come out of the TC general fund. Pacific city has been guaranteed any revenue from proposed parking fees in Pacific City will go back to them.

be the year to start some new traditions.

One of the ways I personally prepare myself for the holiday season is through music. The human brain is so amazing in many ways, but one of my favorite tricks it performs is when a song triggers a distant memory.

Every time I hear Perry Como start into There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays, I am immediately transformed into a sevenyear-old boy, sitting in front of our real Christmas tree that was decorated with alarmingly hot multicolored lights, accented with those long metallic icicles that you could never really get off the tree when the season

This last tourist season has shown us that Tillamook county has a capacity limit. County officials should analyze and learn from this. Goals for future development may need to be adjusted because of this new information i.e. it might not be wise to move toward the development of a conference center.

Solutions • TBC needs to change priorities during COVID from land acquisition, to helping citizens survive the crisis, by providing more grants that fit criteria for TLT funds.

• Any decisions made that affect funding should be temporary with a 2- year re-evaluation.

• In the next voting cycle let voters decide if Tillamook County parks (TCP) should receive transient lodging tax money as revenue either thru guaranteed grants or whatever is legal according to TLT criteria with an agreed upon percentage like 20% of the TCP budget. Voters should also decide if day use access fees should be raised

Nancy Webster, Representing North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection

An open letter to Tillamook’s Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Your incendiary comment in the Headlight Herald’s “Chamber Chatter” column of November 25th declaring that our Governor’s directions are “a bad call” was - and is - out of line. Governor Brown has enacted scientifically arrived at measures to protect the health of Oregonians and needs our support. As a community leader - at least someone who has a public voice - it is your civic duty to support our hard-working, and elected, public servants. Unlike you, our public servants were elected to serve all of us and are bending over backwards to do that.

During these exceptional times, the State Government is doing its best to protect each and every one of us. Believe me, I’m over 65 and am grateful that our state is doing so well. One mistake of mine could be my last.

Governor Brown is relying on the wisdom and experience of epidemiologists, statisticians, and health experts state-wide, and doing the hard job of enforcing the policies that their advice, based on sound science, indicates are necessary to keep us all safe. She is not waiting for things to get out-of-hand.

She is staying in front of the problem. No, it would not be better to let our guard down now since we have thus far kept the numbers of infected below those of other states. And, again, it does not matter what your opinion is because you are not qualified to have an opinion on this matter. and expanded to current non-fee areas. The parking/ boat access areas in Pacific City who have not been in the fee program for the last 10 years should join in at the current rate. *Tillamook County has two new revenue sources starting in 2021. The passage of a tax on vaping products and a $2.00 increase on cigarettes will increase general fund revenue. Short term rentals of less than 30 days a year will now charge TLT tax increasing that revenue.

Law enforcement should come out of the general fund. Work toward having Pacific City pay for their law enforcement. Negotiate with the large corporations like Tillamook Cheese factory, Nestucca Ridge Development to contribute to law enforcement.

• Develop a volunteer law enforcement group that will patrol parks, beaches, etc. during the high tourist season. Research how other communities do this.

• Negotiate with Fairchild Air force Base to have them pay the costs for a vault toilet, money for garbage bins and some collection fees for Bay Ocean spit and gravel grading every 2 years in addition to what

memory files for me to review!

The library can help you prepare for the holidays with our extensive special collection of CDs, DVDs and books. We will talk about movies and books in a future column but this week, I am focusing on music. Today’s technology allows you to either check out CDs to listen to on your CD player, or those who are into our streaming services can check out our holiday offerings on Hoopla.

First, let’s jog your memory on some old Christmas standard albums in our collection that I bet some of you will remember. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas album was a big

hit in our home, as were recordings by Andy Williams, Barbra Streisand, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, and Frank Sinatra. And don’t forget the slightly irritating Chipmunk’s Christmas!

These classic recordings are all available at your library for checkout.

If you prefer something newer, we have those, too.

In fact, I purchased about 50 new holiday CDs this year that ranged from Dolly Parton’s new release, A Holly Dolly Christmas to recordings by Meghan Trainor, Kacey Musgraves, and Carrie Underwood. But my all-time favorite Christmas CD is the soundtrack of the holiday TV Special, A Charlie Brown Christ-

mas. Charles Schulz and the production team broke all kinds of barriers on this 1965 animated special but it won them high reviews and many awards. One of their best decisions was to enlist jazz artist Vince Guaraldi to write the soundtrack. It went on to become one of the most beloved holiday specials of all time that still airs on television every year.

So if your holiday traditions are being upended this year, give music a try to get you into the holiday spirit.

Don’t know which CDs you would like? Just ask a librarian to grab you an assorted handful of musical Christmas cheer!

Please take my advice,speak about business, if you must, but do not continue to rile up the impertinent and uneducated among us that are nearly impossible to convince that they have certain responsibilities as part of a society - whether they like it or not.

Consider humbly asking for cooperation and offering positive, constructive ideas.

Please be a part of the solution instead of the part of the problem.

ployee’s spouse, and the list could go on. All the while denying our students the education the community pays the school to deliver.

This is not a criticism of the efforts of our committed, local teachers, but a reality of the online schooling platforms. In some areas, students do not have access to the internet, as promised by our superintendent.

On November 16, 2020, Superintendent Wharton decided to follow the example of Governor Brown and made a mask mandate on private property of patrons. She is requiring all those receiving food services from the school (via bussing the food supplies to the private homes) to wear masks while receiving the food outside! If patrons do not wear masks outside their own homes to receive food deliveries the bus drivers have been ordered to not stop. Often, these patrons are the students, children. All this during the Governor’s newest “freeze” on our largely tourist dependent economy putting more families at risk during this holiday season. Not to mention food services are largely federally financed.

There is no federal mask mandate.

I had made a request to our school board to rescind this edict from the Superintendent, but they have refused to curtail the mandate, as per the usual practice with the current superintendent.

The excuses given for this newest edict from our superintendent have been due to supposed “positive” cases, which the school does not have to prove due to privacy laws, and fear of the employees that someone outside not wearing a mask could pass the dreaded virus. Yet the science shows the virus is one-third the size of the holes in surgical masks and there is no documented case (that I am aware of at this time) of a

student passing COVID-19 to school personnel in our country.

The food services administrator, the superintendent’s cousin, insists that the state is requiring this newest mandate. Yet, Nestucca Valley School District is largely funded from local timber sales.

It is past time for the residents of our county and state to call the bluff of these petty tyrants. The school superintendent does not have the power to enforce unconstitutional mask mandates on private property. School board members swore an oath to uphold the United States Constitution, not the random edicts of our governor. If mandates from local or state officials compel individuals to act immorally (denying food to underprivileged children) then they should not be obeyed. These illegal mandates will not stop until We the People quit obeying them.

Nestucca superintendent off base with mandatory masks order While Oregonians are reeling from the newest edicts from our Governor that have dared to invade our private homes, residents of Nestucca Valley School District are dealing with their own challenges from an unelected ruler, our school superintendent.

Misty Wharton, has a history of pushing her agenda, from comprehensive “health” curriculum to extensive building programs that are questionable in their necessity and have significantly changed and grown since their original presentation to the public.

The current building project passed with a bond by less than 100 votes in our area, and now includes the local preschool. In fact, the school is currently working on a third additional purchase of property to finish spending our $29 million dollars.

During the COVID-19 crisis she has become even more aggressive denying the public access to a board meeting, refusing to open the schools, temporarily closing down the school to employee access due to a COVID-19 case of an emthey are already providing.

• Have Visit Tillamook Coast come up with a catchy way to inform tourists when certain areas of the county are at capacity so tourists know ahead of time not to come to Tillamook County or certain areas of the County during high season. Include the logo, Pack it in, Pack it out on this site. This could be accessed on the Visit Tillamook Coast web site, with contributors in different areas of the county giving input. Encourage news stations, weatherman to check this link so viewers have a heads up.

• As a temporary measure, negotiate with the porta-potty company to expand their services during COVID to include cleaning permanent toilets at various county parks, to eliminate the need for porta-potties and closed Vault toilets.

Parks would contract their company, like they contract garbage pick-up.

• Provide a list of possible park needs to senior class teachers for senior class projects at the beginning of the school year.

Be specific. If we still have Boy Scout programs, Rotary and church/Robys community help days con-

tact them for county parks clean-ups- projects. Ask the cross- country coaches to have an area clean-up on beaches, paths etc. Parks supply the bags, and final pick-up.

• Utilize the Clatsop County Parks and Douglas CP master plans for sources of funding, grants, volunteer ideas.

• Utilize the book at the Tillamook county library reference section for grant sources.

• Annual passes for day use access should not require license numbers.

This makes them more

ave Dittmer has been having a problem with elk on his property. He put up motion sensors to alert him so he could chase them off before they mess up his yard. One recent night, his sensors went off multiple times and he went outside to see what was going on.

There were two deer in the yard north of the garage, six elk in the yard south of the house, and four raccoons sitting on the east side of the property—all at the same time! All those red eyes looking at him reminded him of the movie “Village of the Damned.” Pretty funny,

Speaking of elk, we have big news in our family: Our daughter Amy Baldwin bagged her first elk.

She was shooting off-hand (no place to rest her gun) from 100 yards away and hit the animal right behind the shoulder. That one shot brought the big elk down.

Way to go, Amy! We had a nontraditional Thanksgiving. We had hot turkey sandwiches, a green salad, and slices of one of BJ Byron’s famous pies for our holiday meal.

despite the backdrop of the coronavirus. The day after Thanksgiving, we invited neighbors Rod and Mary Jane Pelson over for pie and ice cream out on our deck.

Yes, we had to bundle up and there was a threat of show-

ers, but it was great to catch up with them. They had a nontraditional holiday, too; they cooked duck instead of turkey—and it was delicious!

Their cat, Max, liked it, too.

Here’s hoping your Thanksgiving was good, no matter how you celebrated.

The holidays are in full swing around here, with more Christmas lights (including ours; thanks, Pete!) and delivery trucks in the neighborhood. Fortunately, with many neighbors retired and at home, we keep a good eye out for one another’s packages. Our biggest problem is when someone leaves

off the “NW” and packages circle around Tillamook proper, which has the same named streets.

We’ll miss our community’s usual holiday events.

Cape Meares traditionally has had a caroling night, originally outdoors (always in the rain) but in more recent years indoors at the Barbara Bennett Community Center. Singing in a group has been a proven superspreader event for COVID-19, however, so we’ll avoid that this year. The village also has always had a holiday party with a white elephant gift exchange; there

have been gifts that were real doozies! I recall one garish little girl’s lamp, fringed and pink and glitzy, that inexplicably had several women salivating over. Surely for their granddaughters, not them, right? We have had another tradition of gathering for New Year’s Eve and holding a silent auction as a fundraiser. Well, one year off won’t mean all that much in the long run; best to be careful of our health and be around to celebrate in style next year. As we’ve been telling our kids, we don’t want to fumble the ball in the fourth quarter and lose the game.

I would like to wish my husband, Dale, a wonderful birthday! December is a great month to have a birthday. He shares this month with lots of folks in our community. Happy birthday to Catherine Imbrie, Mike Konruff, Don Best, Michelle Forster, Alice Jefferson, Glo-

ria Tarnasky, Louise Haley, Gail Kessinger, Mary Faith Bell and Sarah Johnson. I know this year is different, but just find something different to do. Remember, “Always be grateful for things that don’t work out the way you want them to.

Look for the silver lining, it is always behind every cloud.”

It looks like our Beautification Committee has once again successfully decorated our pots in town. It is so wonderful to see your town lit up spreading Christmas cheer on our dark winter nights. It sure makes our community more joyful, don’t you think?

The Lions Club are once again filling baskets for the needy in our community.

The Lions Clubhouse is located at 286 S. Anchor.

Applications for baskets are next to the door of the

clubhouse (in the mailbox to the left of the door) and at the post office. They must be filled out and returned no later than Sunday, December 6th. Mail to the address on the form before that date.

Pick up date for the baskets will be on December 21st between 9:30 and 11am.

Be sure to fill your form out early because there are a limited number of food baskets.

Folks, I would like to remind you to throw all your baby wipes, hand wipes and any other wipes in the trash instead of flushing them.

These little wipes will not disintegrate in water like toilet paper. You know what that means; they clog pipes and cause sewage backups.

If they make it into the main sewer line they can get tangled and damage equipment at pump stations or water treatment plants. I don’t think I need to tell you what can happen to your septic tank. This can end up costing big bucks…. Really big bucks. Even if the packages say they are flushable, don’t believe it. Now-a-days that is called fake news.

Next week I have a real treat for you. One of our residents, Mike Kukral, was in the Christmas movie, A Christmas Story.” It is lengthy and very interesting, so I am waiting until a bit closer to the holiday itself.

It will not be ‘Sugar Coated’ either. I want you to read it in his own words. Be sure to look for it! “ I love the feeling of winter when you know it’s getting closer to Christmas.”

That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”

S

anta will drop by at the Rockaway Beach Fire Department on December 5th. I have contacted Santa several times, but he never gets back to me. Hopefully your kids won’t miss this event. Keep your eyes and ears open. I do know it is a drive by event. Your children will stay in the car and Santa will be waving behind an acrylic barrier. Sounds safe to me!

R

on Griffin was born Jan 1952 in Ellensburg Wa. and passed away Nov. 9, 2020 surrounded by his family.

t’s that time of year again! The trees are changing colors, the weather is getting colder, and the days are getting shorter.

While some things are expected and familiar to us all, other things are new- Holidays during a Pandemic.

After 8 months of lockdown and social distancing, many of us find ourselves eager to see loved ones.

While spending time with loved ones can be a great stress-reliever, navigating the holidays during a pandemic can also be a source of stress. So that begs the question: to travel or not to travel?

The absolute safest way to celebrate this Holiday season is to stay home and celebrate with your

Navigating holiday travel

household family members.

Virtual gatherings, over Zoom or Facetime, are encouraged to stay connected and safe this season. Given the new statewide “TwoWeek Freeze” announced by Governor Brown, limiting gatherings to no more than 6 people from no more than 2 households, now is the perfect time for virtual gatherings!

For those that are traveling and will be spending time with friends and family outside of their homes, here are some tips to enjoy the holidays safely: • Wear a face mask at all times (except for when eating) • Always maintain social distance of 6ft or more • Try to have gatherings in an outdoor location, but remember to dress warm and wear a face mask if social distancing cannot be maintained • When sharing a meal,

consider individual plates of food versus buffet-style dining • Consider driving with household members to the gathering, versus flying when possible • Make a plan to quarantine before and after the gathering, to reduce transmission of COVID-19 • Get your flu shot before traveling and meeting up with friends and family for holiday gatherings • While the flu shot will not directly protect against COVID-19, it has many other benefits to keep you safe and healthy, reducing illness • Stay home if you are feeling sick, have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or are a known contact to someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19 • If flying, consider purchasing traveler’s insurance and pack for a two-week

trip in the case you should have to quarantine at your destination Deciding to cancel your trip is difficult, but also something to be on our minds. Traveling during a pandemic requires all of us to call on the power of our inner-planners!

Remember, you can still partake in the holidays and make it special, while still staying safe! Now’s the perfect chance to get the WHOLE family together (virtually) and finally take that large family photo you’ve been wanting. Is it the same? Of course not.

But will it be a holiday season you’ll ever forget?

Of course not- it will be one to remember!

Tillamook County Historical Society stays close to its goals The goals of the Tillamook County Historical Society are to promote Tillamook County history. The organization has taken on a variety of activities since it’s founding in 1984.

One of the most ambitious was a musical production celebrating the bi-centennial of Gray’s discovery of Tillamook Bay. Through the years, the members have organized trips on the Trask Toll Rd., conducted

walking tours of Tillamook houses and historic buildings, and recently put on a program on Tillamook’s cemeteries. Putting plaques on historic buildings has been an ongoing project for the TCHS. A Nnew ambitious project that the society has undertaken this year was to promote and highlight downtown Cloverdale’s history.

Main street towns have suffered a

downturn with changing communities and shopping habits. Cloverdale was once an important hub of South Tillamook County. It had a hotel, cheese-factory, movie theater, pharmacy, hardware store, barbershop, and much more small business. In the last few years, there have been empty storefronts and a few small businesses holding on.

With the help of a Tillamook

PUD grant, the TCHS took on promoting and celebrating Cloverdale’s long history. Four huge historical photo murals have been placed on buildings depicting early Cloverdale.

The 100-year-old Charles Ray house has a new information sign in front.

Different businesses have historical pictures on their inside walls for people to enjoy. Planters and new signage have spruced up the town.

A series of Burma Shave-like signs have been placed at the north end of town to help slow traffic and promote the town. The new energy of the project has attracted several new businesses.

The TCHS has struggled with enrollment in the past couple of years. We meet at noon on the second Tuesday of the month at the Bay City Art Center.

17th Annual Tillamook County Pioneer Museum’s Festival of Trees cancelled In accordance with Governor Brown’s COVID lockdown mandate, Tillamook County Pioneer Museum Board of Directors is cancelling the 17th Annual Festival of Trees for this year, their only fundraiser.

also.) I think that’s part of it, but there’s more than that behind my melancholy.

I think the worst part of my sadness is how divided we’ve become. For a long time, I questioned how so many people could be so wrong when the truth was so apparent to me.

I’ve made enough mistakes in my life to realize that it could be me that’s wrong. Could it be that the people that who voted for the other guy were right?

I’ve done a lot of thinking and a fair amount of reading since the election and it’s led me to a startling conclusion. I’m just fine and so are the people who voted for the other guy.

What’s wrong is that our political parties have abandoned their principles and we’ve followed along. The result is a the quagmire of rancor and resentment we find ourselves in today.

Two recent books have helped me reach this conclusion.

The first is “It Was All a Lie” by Stuart Stevens.

Stevens spent 25 years as a lead strategist and media consultant for high profile political races. He laments how the Republican party seems to transformed itself from a political party with strong moral principles to a “vote gathering cartel” where winning is all that counts, even if truth falls by the wayside.

The second is “Listen,

Bush has applied for many grants and partnered with other organizations to provide over $226,000 for the program to purchase supplies and equipment for the classroom.

In addition to her involvement in the classroom, she was selected to serve as both a National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador as well as a National FFA Teacher Ambassador just last year. Bush participates in yearly conferences and meetings that work to improve the agricultural education profession. She also serves as a teacher mentor and representative for the CTE program at Tillamook High School.

Frank reveals how the Democratic party has largely abandoned the needs of working in favor of the “professional class” Their rhetoric is supportive, but a lot of their policies have a devastating effect for those outside the “professional class”.

Maybe COVID and its affects will give us a fresh start and a new unity once the vaccines reach us.

No to parking meters in Pacific City, and the coast Politicians tell us we are not essential. They tell local businesses to close. Local businesses are harassed by government agencies, like the OLCC. Out of state corporations are called essential, and allowed to be open. Masked rioters run our streets and attack private property. We’re told to wear masks, which is questionable science, and doesn’t stop a virus ( it even says that on the box ). Politicians illegally and wrongly extend states of emergency, when there is no emergency. Covid is vastly exaggerated.

There was surge of crowds at the beach this year, because of this false emergency. Now, we’re told to pay to park at our

They will not be able to process payments with the closure. Their plan is to have people set up arrangements to make payments next week.

The commissioners voted and agreed to close the courthouse until the morning of Monday, Nov. 30. They will notify courthouse staff of plans moving forward. Circuit court will be potentially open pending further discussion.

own public beach. My family’s had homes in Tillamook county 50 years. We don’t pay the taxes to get a beach pass, wear masks, or hurt local businesses.

We’ve paid our dues.

We’ve seen much government waste. But they still want parking meter money in Pacific City. No, this is public beach, declared to be free for all, by the Oregon Beach Bill. The public has “free and uninterrupted use of the beaches,” the bill says.

Legalese wrote we have to charge residents and visitors the same, because of discrimination. That’s silly.

As a long time property owner and local, I feel discriminated against.

Neskowin was just cluttered with large tidal wave signs on every street. It’s overkill, ridiculous. Projecting fear. One of the signs is pointing the wrong way for a tidal wave escape. The signs are costly. Too many signs clutter the Pacific City parking lot.

Maybe if they didn’t spend so much money on signs, they wouldn’t have to ask for parking meters.

Certainly, if government didn’t enable this Covid over reaction, we’d all be doing better, including the government. The Covid over reaction increased crowds at the beach, and reduced revenue.

picture, it’s doing just fine.

Yes, it gets really crowded sometimes, like anywhere at peak periods. That’s life. Much of the time, it’s pretty empty. The parking lot works, the bathrooms are good, people like it, and have fun there. We like it the way it is. We don’t want or need expensive signs, bathrooms, lights, pavement, gates, parking meters, ticket writers, etc.

Parking meters / passes will make people park in residential areas to avoid fees. Parking meters at the Pacific City lot sets a dangerous precedent for the entire coast. Say no to parking meters and parking tickets at our beaches!

Freedom, with old parking lots and facilities, is superior to spending money for new government rules with new stuff.

No one should have to get a pass, especially residents. This is a public lot and a public beach. We’ve paid enough already. We don’t want more government overkill or red tape.

Another explanation for Biden’s victory There is maybe another explanation for Biden’s victory in the recent election that has escaped the notice of the elite legal team headed by Mr. Giuliani –

extraterrestrial aliens. One could imagine ETs being upset about Mr. Trump’s promotion of the idea of a manned expedition to Mars, and deciding to do something about it. For example, directing a sufficiently intense beam of neutrinos towards computer powered voting machines. It is well known that, although the cross section is small, neutrinos do interact with many nuclei and produce an electron on doing so.

Indeed, professor Masatoshi Koshiba of Japan, who recently passed away, won a Nobel prize for his work on neutrino detection using electron production in Xenon nuclei as a detection scheme. A free electron in a sufficiently small solid state memory device could cause it to flip its state, and conceivably flip the election. Perhaps this could be brought about by ETs aiming a sufficiently intense beam at appropriate targets.

Neutrino have a vast range and so this could be done at some distance.

Given the almost uniform string of failures of the elite legal team arguing that there were irregularities in the counting of ballots – something like 31 failures in 32 attempts – they might try the extraterrestrial alien approach. They wouldn’t be doing any worse.
