tate Representative-elect Suzanne Weber resigned from her position as mayor of Tillamook during a city council meeting Dec. 21. Weber was elected as State Representative District 32 in the general election Nov. 3. Weber selected Council President Aaron Burris to complete her term, which expires Dec. 31, 2022.

Weber said she will miss the variety of experiences she had as mayor of Tillamook. She said she is looking forward to what she will do in Salem but will miss what she has done in Tillamook. She thanked the city for putting their faith in her and electing her as mayor. She was elected mayor in 2010.

“The friendships I have made along the way are another gift this job has given me,” Weber said.

Weber said she has many people to thank during her 10 years as mayor.

“I will miss serving you as your mayor, but I will keep all of you in my thoughts,” Weber said. “With that said, I resign as your mayor.”

President Burris will be taking over as mayor, with council approval, Weber added. The council agreed to appoint Burris to fill Weber’s term as mayor.

The council also addressed the vacancy of Councilor Ward 4, held previously by Burris.

“I will nominate John Sandusky, who just so happens to live in Ward 4,” Burris said.

The council agreed to appoint Sandusky. Sandusky is now councilor of Ward 4.

Vaccine doses continue to trickle into Oregon, financial relief on the way O

regon recently exceeded 100,000 cases of COVID-19 and recorded over 1,300 virus related deaths. Despite the consistent increase, Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) remain optimistic the coronavirus spread is slowing.

During a Dec. 22 press conference, Gov. Brown was joined by OHA Director Pat Allen to update Oregonians on COVID-19 vaccine distribution, financial relief and more.

“It’s really, really tough to be heading into a time where traditional celebrations are once again hindered by the virus,” Gov. Brown said. “Every single family that has lost a loved one to this virus and every Oregonian that has suffered emotionally, financially or physically from COVID-19, I want you to know that you are in my thoughts.”

Gov. Brown said there is light at the

end of the tunnel however, and nearly 4,500 healthcare workers in Oregon have received the COVID-19 vaccine so far. Oregon received the full 35,100 doses of the Pfizer vaccine allocated by the federal government and distributed doses to 16 hospitals across the state last week.

“I’m grateful for the healthcare workers who have been heroes throughout this pandemic,” Allen said.

“It’s fitting, truly, that they are the ones among the first to be vaccinated who will light the path for all of us to follow out of this dark terrible forest that is the coronavirus pandemic.”

In addition to the Pfizer vaccine, Allen said the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup now recommends the Moderna vaccine after confirming it as safe and effective.

An issue with distributing the Pfizer vaccine is the need to store in freezing temperatures. But according to OHA, the Moderna vaccine does not need to be stored at those temperatures. Allen feels this gives the state an advantage to easier distribution, especially to more rural areas.

Over 12,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine arrived in Oregon this week and the state is expecting an additional 25,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

Later in the week, Allen said over 72,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine

are due to arrive in Oregon.

By the end of the month, OHA expects to have received over 92,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 97,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine. However, Allen said these allocations are often ever-changing due to supply and demand across the United States.

“That means we have to be prepared for months of limited supplies and the need to prioritize who gets the vaccine and when,” Allen said.

Oregon has also begun administering the vaccine to residents and staff of long-term care facilities. OHA reported that 10,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine have been distributed so far statewide as Gov. Brown noted the care facilities have been among the hardest hit by the pandemic.

“It feels really good to be able to start these vaccinations with the hope that these folks can reunite with their families once again and feel safe from the virus soon,” Gov. Brown said.

Gov. Brown also noted that daily case counts have tapered off a bit lately.

The state is attributing some the decrease to the two-week freeze and additional safety restrictions that Gov. Brown said ‘blunted the virus surge.’

“Thanks to the decisions you, and the majority of Oregonians continue to

hile much of the state was paying attention to the COVID-19 relief package that passed Congress on Monday, Congressman Peter DeFazio was celebrating another win.

DeFazio, who serves as the chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, said the spending bill that also passed was a big win for the nation’s coastal communities.

Included in the package was the Water Resources Development Act of 2020, which fully funds harbor maintenance.

“This is a tremendous victory for Oregon’s coastal communities,” DeFazio said. “For decades, I have fought to unlock the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and ensure that funds already collected for harbor maintenance are fully utilized to keep our local ports dredged and jetties maintained.

Finally, WRDA 2020 fulfils that goal.

With this fix, our ports and harbors will have the resources they so desperately need, all without raising taxes or adding a penny to the deficit. My bipartisan bill, approved by both the House and the Senate, will create and sustain jobs on the coast, make conditions safer for Oregon’s commercial fishing and recreation industries and boost our state and national economic competitiveness.”

DeFazio explained Congress passed a small tax while Ronald Reagan was president to fund harbor maintenance.

But over the last decade, Congress has withheld some of that money, which accumulated to $10 billion.

When the spending bill passed, the money was unlocked and will be spent over the next decade. DeFazio said beginning in 2021, $500 million in extra funding will be released every year, with the number climbing to $1 billion in the sixth year.

“By unlocking the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, my legislation will ultimately provide up to $3 billion annually for port maintenance around the country and right here in Oregon,” he said. “I also successfully pushed for a 50 percent increase in funding for small harbors, like the Port of Gold Beach and the Port of Siuslaw, and for a provision that allows harbor maintenance funds to be seamlessly spent on the maintenance of adjacent marinas.

This funding will be put to immediate use paying for planned projects such as the Coos Bay North Jetty rehabilitation and maintenance dredging along the coast.”

DeFazio said the Water Resources Development Act twice passed the House unanimously, but the Senate refused to take it up for consideration.

That left no choice but to attach it to the spending bill that was approved by Congress on Monday.

DeFazio said the additional funding will help offset years of deferred maintenance at ports and harbors across Oregon and the nation.

“This is going to the big,” he said.

“The North Jetty at Coos Bay has needed repairs for a long time. When jetties start to go, they go quickly. This assistance will help us go forward with

the North Jetty repair.”

DeFazio also pointed to a dredging project at the Gold Beach harbor as much needed. He said so much gravel has washed into the harbor that the Coast Guard had to remove its boat from the area. Most boats can only enter and exit at high tides due to the built-up silt. With the funding, not only can the harbor be dredged, but work can be done upriver to keep rocks from flowing in for several years.

At Port Orford, the funding will help reconfigure the jetty or put in a permanent dredging system.

“It’s really good for coastal communities,” he said. “We’ve got to dredge these. We lose people on the harbor bars up and down the coast every year.”

DeFazio said he also got funding for the Coast Guard attached to the spending bill. The legislation will fully fund the Coast Guard and will keep an air station in Newport that was in danger of closing.

While DeFazio said he would have preferred to pass the legislation independently, he was forced to attach it to the spending bill when the Senate refused to consider it. The $10 billion surplus will help make repairs and finish dredging projects at all the harbors across the nation over the next decade, the congressman said.

COVID-19 relief DeFazio said the package that was approved by Congress was not perfect, but it was nice to see something done.

“It is not as much as I would have liked,” he said. “This got restarted by a bipartisan group in the House and I weighed in and said, ‘Hey, this may not be what we like, but we have to do something.’”

DeFazio said even the imperfect package will help Oregon residents.

He said 100,000 Oregonians who would have lost unemployment this month will continue to receive it. He also said federal money will go to tenants and landlords to stop evictions,ß and money would go to small businesses that need it most.

“That should provide particular relief to restaurants, gyms and other small businesses that have been impacted by coronavirus restraints,” DeFazio said.

While DeFazio has been spending most of his time in Oregon to limit travel during the pandemic, he said he would return to Washington D.C. early in the new year. He will be sworn in for a new term Jan. 3 and will take part in the Electoral College vote Jan. 6. DeFazio said he expects some Republicans to protest the results but was confident nothing would change.

“They could drag it out for a few days, but the result is preordained,” he said. “This craziness has got to stop at some point and we can get back to the business of helping the country.”

DeFazio said he anticipates the new Congress will take up more COVID relief discussions, but the end result is uncertain.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement,” he said.

Wednesday, December 30, 2020 out of state had intentions to swarm local areas this coming weekend.

“I hope this will help dissuade out-of-state clammers with the low tides this coming weekend,” Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said.

As of Friday 11:59 p.m., non-residents may no longer participate in these activities in Oregon. The ban stands until state coronavirus restrictions are lifted and it is deemed safe to travel into Oregon. This order does not apply to anyone living in Oregon for less than six months who has not yet established residency.

Number Ten Sept. 8, 2020 ODF, Tillamook County agencies respond to fires

quickly.

The first fire was on Stimson ownership east of the Blimp Base. Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) responded with employees from Stimson and a contract dozer and held the fire to 7 acres. The fire was controlled and is in mop-up phase.

The larger of the two, Pike Road Fire, has grown to over 40 acres in size. ODF personnel responded to this fire along with Tillamook Fire, Nestucca Rural, Bay City, and Garibaldi Fire departments, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and South Fork Inmate crews and heavy equipment operators.

The Pike Road fire resulted in evacuations and extreme fire activity. A shelter has been established at the county fairgrounds, 4-H dorms for evacuees.

The fire continues to be active and plans are being made for day shift with continued dozer work, engines and three hand crews. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

All emergency responders ask the public to not enter the

area of the fire for your safety and that of the firefighters.

The weather pattern of east winds and low humidity will continue through Sept.

8 and into Wednesday, Sept.

9, and then followed by hot and dry conditions, keeping the risk of fire high across the area. ODF is asking for the public’s continued efforts to limit risk and follow the county-wide burn ban put in place on Sept. 7.

ODF would like to Thank Fred Meyer for donating all the food for the firefighters this morning.

The Tillamook County Incident Command Team would like to advise everyone that the evacuation order for the Pike Fire has not been lifted. They are working on it and will advise as soon as it is safe to go in.

TBCC progress in 2020; An award winning year The past year presented some interesting challenges for all of us, but it was also not without some great news.

Tillamook Bay Community College was ranked #10 for Best Community Colleges in the United States for 2020 according to SmartAsset, a financial technology firm that has conducted the study for the past seven years. The study ranked 821 of the 1,050 community colleges in the U.S. by analyzing studentto-faculty ratio, graduation and transfer rate, and cost of tuition and fees. The college was also ranked #6 in the state on the list of 2020 Best Online Community Colleges in Oregon according to the Guide to Online Schools.

The ranking is determined by several factors, including retention rate, graduation rate, percentage of online enrollment data, and the number of online associate degrees offered.

Here are some other highlights from 2020 New Academic Programs The College thinks carefully about developing degrees, certificates, and educational opportunities that will meet the needs of students and employers in the community.

The process includes meeting with business and industry professionals, listening to future workforce needs, and being innovative in how the college addresses these needs within the scope of academic learning and career-technical skill building.

In 2019/2020, TBCC introduced the following • A new Basic Healthcare Certificate was created that can be completed while a student is still in high school.

The first high school student to complete this certificate will finalize their internship this winter term.

• Three new certificates were added in Welding Technology: SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW. • A new Associate of Applied Science Degree in

Agricultural Technology was developed with input from several local farmers and producers including Zwiefel, Oldenkamp and DaLaval.

Courses are taught by local industry experts and students spend a great deal of time in the field doing hands-on learning.

• The college launched an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Healthcare Administration, where students take courses in healthcare business and choose a clinical certificate in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Phlebotomy or Medical Assisting. Students can also now earn the Phlebotomy certificate for credit in addition to non-credit. The brand new Medical Assisting certificate began in 2020, and all program graduates were not only highly recruited but also able to accept employment locally.

• The Tillamook Works program launched, and placed its first intern at the TCCA Farm Store over the summer. Tillamook Works is a career readiness program that connects high school and college students in Tillamook County to local businesses, organizations, and professionals through internships and career exploration activities. The Tillamook Works program is supported

by Tillamook Bay Community College, Neah-Kah-Nie School District, Nestucca Valley School District, Tillamook School District, and the Northwest Regional ESD. • The college also added transfer degree options in both Biology and English.

Students in these degree programs can transfer to every public university in Oregon as a junior in their major.

• In 2020, TBCC began offering three new options to complete a degree online.

Students can now complete an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAO¬¬T), Associate of Science (AS), and an Associate of General Studies (AGS) degree completely online. The three degrees

join the Business Administration degree that has been online since 2015. There are also four certificates that can be earned online including certificates in accounting and office supervision.

Equity and Inclusion In 2020, the TBCC Leadership Team affirmed their support for Black Lives Matter. As an educational institution, the College believes it has an obligation to speak up and take an active part in dismantling systemic racism.

To this end, over the summer TBCC screened the movie ‘Just Mercy’ at the Tillamook Coliseum Theater free to the community to start a community wide discussion on the topic. Seventy people viewed the film.

TBCC will continue to focus on community-wide discussions and efforts to dismantle racist systems and inequities within Tillamook County and the nation.

Expanding Career Technical Education The College increased Career-Technical education offerings in the academic year 2019-2020. The focus this past year was on healthcare and industrial technology and was to support the needs of local employers seeking to hire qualified, high-skilled employees to fill high-wage jobs. To support the growth in the Manufacturing and Industrial Technology programs, TBCC purchased the former Mechtronics building, which sits on Third Street across from the college’s main campus. This building will become the Center for Industrial Technology and house the Manufacturing and Industrial Technology programs, which have been in desperate need of space to grow.

Small Business Development Center The TBCC Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has been a key resource

for businesses impacted by COVID-19.

The client load increased from the usual 110-120 businesses per year to 230 small businesses served. Training programs were added around managing through challenging times, how to access SBA disaster assistance and using creativity to survive a disaster.

The SBDC partnered with the Tillamook County Economic Development Council to help distribute multiple rounds of grant funding, totaling $798,000 so far, to the business community. SBDC clients reported raising over $870,000 in new capital so far in 2020. Additionally, they provided 38 training programs with a total of 297 participants. Many of the workshops were offered at no charge through grant funding provided by The Ford Family Foundation.

High-Tech Classroom Options The pandemic threw everyone in education a curve ball, and the college did its part to meet the health crisis head on. TBCC was a frontliner in developing a brand new class modality that allows students to take certain classes either in person, via Zoom, or online simultaneously in the same term and same class (or move back and forth in modalities where needed). This hy-flex class option launched winter

term, and gives students a level of flexibility that meets their needs while still delivering high-quality education. It also helps keep students safe as they can work from home when able, and come in for face-to-face instruction as needed.

COVID Response In mid-March, the world was impacted by the spreading coronavirus pandemic.

The College made a series of decisions over the first few weeks of the pandemic to keep both students and staff safe, including taking a step back from offering in-person classes for spring term.

However, the College came back strong and through a detailed and evolving Covid Response Plan, was able to safely offer 60% of classes face-to-face in summer and fall terms.

During spring and fall term, TBCC offered free college classes to juniors and seniors enrolled in a Tillamook County high school as a way to support K-12 students with additional learning options.

Students who enrolled earned college credits and saved a total of $134,000 in college tuition and fees.

Facilities Master Plan The TBCC Board of Education approved the College’s Facilities Master Plan in 2020, which calls for a renovation of the current main campus building to

better serve students, and a new two-story building on the south college lot across the driveway from the main campus. The new building will include both office and classroom space and an adjacent community-space with a seating capacity of 500. The plan is current being considered by the legislature for match funding for up to $8M in state funds. The College has reached a critical state in its ability to continue to meet the needs of the community within the current infrastructure, and an approval of the Facilities Master Plan is the first step toward making these improvements.

Looking toward the future In 2021, TBCC will celebrate its 40th anniversary, and will plan an appropriate celebration with the community. While it is unclear at this point what that will look like, the college intends to recognize this milestone and share its accomplishments and growth over the last four decades.

The College will also undergo its first 7-year accreditation visit in October 2021. This is an opportunity to showcase to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities how the college is meeting our strategic goals. Every accredited college is reviewed on a 7-year basis, and this is TBCC’s first independently-accredited review.

TALES FROM THE LIBRARY Bill Landau Extension Librarian Tillamook County Library

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the commissioners I have tried to appeal to you in every human sense possible to demonstrate, understanding, empathy, compassion to the residents of Tillamook county and others who are suffering from the events of 2020. On Thursday Dec. 15 I discovered in the archives of the Headlight Herald there was no public notice for the 2 Tillamook County Commissioner board meetings held in Sept.

The board meeting on Sept.23 should have had a public notice in the classified section of HH. Whether this was oversight or intentional it was not there. Oregon law 192.620 requires an informed public in which those interested can take an active role in the

decision making process. The many articles do not constitute this. According to Oregon law public meetings 192.640 written public notice is required in printed form. The Headlight Herald is the only printed (vs digital) newspaper we have in the county. Please do the right thing, reverse this order and go thru the legal and ethical steps to come to a fair order.

Give the residents of Tillamook County, your conscious, Commissioner Baertelin your legacy of office a Xmas present. I await the affidavit which proves you complied with the law as I requested to county counsel in my e-mail to him today.

Even if you keep the existing fees the same I am over 65 and will pay the same annual fee. I have more than self in-

terest in this.

Sue Aalykke Tillamook I would like to address two issues with respect to the efforts surrounding the two currently available vaccines against Covid-19. I speak as a retired faculty member of a medical school who has taught the pharmacology of antibiotics and anti-viral drugs.

Although not my primary research interest, I have conducted and published research on viruses. I have followed the scientific/medical literature on Covid-19.

The current vaccines are very effective at preventing clinical illness, including

Twenty-nine years ago, Sara Charlton was hired to be the director of the Tillamook County Library.

I got wondering what was going on in the world “way back then” so I did a bit of research. The Hubble Telescope had just launched.

The Academy Award for Best Picture was presented to Kevin Costner’s Dances with Wolves. Bette Midler sang the song of the year, From a Distance. In the literary world, we lost one of the most famous children’s authors, Dr. Seuss. And a young Macaulay Culkin was starring in the new film release destined to become a classic, Home Alone.

While the list of projects and accomplishments Sara achieved in Tillamook County since 1991 could provide enough content for a years’ worth of library columns, most people would agree her greatest triumph would be seeing the new library project through, from concept, to its completion in 2006. This monumental task created a series of hurdles that could only have been accomplished through Sara’s sheer determination and her strong desire to make the dream a reality.

As one patron stated on our 2020 survey, “Walking into the Tillamook Library always brings me such great pleasure.”

Sara tried to retire a few times this year, but the pandemic had other plans!

The Tillamook County Library System’s new director, Geri Godber, will assume her position on February 8, 2021! Ms. Godber was chosen from over 50 applicants in a nationwide search.

For the past seven years, Ms. Godber has served as Executive Director of the Christian County Library District in southern Missouri. During her tenure, she led efforts to enhance the library’s value and responsiveness to the community, secured renewal of a voter-approved levy and added service locations. We look forward to her arrival in early February!

OBITUARIES Louis William Weber May 24, 1935 - Dec. 26, 2020

L

ouis William Weber, lovingly known as Lou, passed away peacefully in his sleep on December 26, 2020, at the age of 85.

Lou was born on May 24, 1935, to Albert and Violet Weber in Denver, Colorado. He spent his childhood in St. Johns, Oregon as well as Ilwaco, Washington, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the age of 17, Lou enlisted in the United States Navy and served in the Korean War on the USS Warrick.

After his honorable discharge in 1956, Lou attended MIT (Milwaukee Institute of Technology) becoming an Electrical Engineer. In 1964, he worked at Snap-On Tools where he met the love of his life, Peggy Petersen, who caught his eye the day she turned in her application. Lou offered Peggy a ride home, and, as they say, the rest was history. The two could be found playing baseball in the alley at work or driving around from park to park, looking for ball games to watch.

Lou and Peggy married in January of 1965 and in March, they loaded up their 1958 Buick (with Peggy’s ironing board and a cat named Smoky) and headed west, settling in Bay City, Oregon. Lou quickly found work as a TV repairman and salesman in the back of Warner’s Music. They then started their family of four boys. Lou and Peggy enjoyed watching their boys, and later their grandkids, participate in all of their activities, including football, basketball, wrestling, soccer, baseball, and softball with volleyball, dance, and cheer thrown in. From Little League to adult sports, if you were looking for Lou, chances

are you could find him in the bleachers or in a lawn chair at the ball fields.

Lou also spent countless hours in the hills, hunting with his boys and grandsons.

Lou and Peggy opened Coast TV and Appliance, a store they ran until they retired in 1995. Lou was a generous supporter of all things sports-related in Tillamook County, as well as many other local events. He was a dedicated volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, and he loved driving around, showing his family the homes he helped build.

Lou was a lifetime member of VFW (Veterans of Foreign War) and was a 50-year member of the Elks Lodge. Lou never met a stranger and was a friend to everyone he met. He was simply the best Husband, Dad, and Grandpa anyone could ask for, and his family was lucky to have him, although he would have said he was the lucky one.

Lou accomplished everything he set out to do and provided a life well-lived for himself and his family.

Lou was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Carol Patterson, his brother Darell Weber and his grandson Mackenzie Bleth. He is survived by his wife, Peggy, and their four boys and their families: Bill and Michelle, Jill (Dustin), Raphael (Kirstin) and Jeremy (Michaela); Tim and Beth, Tyler (Suzanne) and Ryan (Brandon); Dan and Melanie, Danny and “Little Girl” Scout; Al and Jessica, Gabi, Aden, and Ryan. Lou also has 5 great-grandchildren with one more on the way.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Lil Titans, a youth hunting camp. Checks can be made payable to Titan Outdoors Lil Titans or donations can be made through Paypal. Please contact the family for additional donation information. Per Lou’s request, there will be no service.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Griffin House who took the best of care of our Husband, Dad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa. We are forever grateful for your love of Papa Louie.

Joseph ‘Mick’ Wall Sept. 13, 1945 - Dec. 17, 2020

J

oseph “Mick” Wall passed away peacefully in his home on December 17th. Mick was born to Robert and Julie Wall on September 13, 1945 in Aberdeen, WA where his father was stationed in the Navy.

At a young age, the family moved to Tillamook where his Dad took a job as head cheesemaker at the Red Clover Cheese Factory. Mick graduated from Tillamook High School in 1964.

Mick was in the Air Force 4 years and served in the Viet

Nam war. After his discharge, he attended FAA Air Traffic training in Oklahoma City OK and was stationed in Salt Lake City UT, Anchorage AK, Longmont CO. New York City, and Seattle WA where he retired.

Mick and wife Jan loved to travel in their motor home and were very proud that they had toured 49 states, including Alaska.

Mick was preceded in death by wife Jan, his father and mother, and brothers Tim, Robin, and Randy.

Mick is survived by daughter Jennifer (Wall) Hart and husband David, daughter Michelle (Wall) Nixon, sister Janell (Wall) Werner and husband Bob, 2 grandchildren, great grandchildren, and multiple nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to any Veterans Association or the charity of your choice.

At his request no services will be held.

July 3, 1935 - Dec. 18, 2020

M

ary Lou (Oldenkamp) Kinnaman, 85, of Hillsboro went home to her Lord and Savior on December 18, 2020.

Mary Lou was born in Okaton, SD on July 3, 1935.

She was the fourth of seven children born to Herman and Jennie (Wynia) Oldenkamp.

As an infant she moved to Tillamook, OR. She was raised in Tillamook and graduated from Tillamook High School in 1953. She then attended Northwest Nazarene College in Idaho.

Mary Lou married Hubert Kinnaman July 13, 1956 in Tillamook. They started their family in Tillamook and moved to Hillsboro in 1964.

Mary Lou held various jobs at various times: she taught piano lessons, directed Noah’s Ark Preschool, and worked as an instructional aide in the Hillsboro and Beaverton School Districts.

She spent many years in the ESL department and loved the students immensely. Mary Lou

was a wonderful homemaker and was very involved in her church.

Marylou loved family reunions, camping...anything and everything to do with family. She and her sisters had regular “Sisters Days” where they could be found drinking coffee and eating sweets all day long. She collected recipes and was an excellent cook. It was hard to find anyone who had beaten her at her favorite game, Scrabble. What gave her the most joy was creating memories with her grandchildren.

Mary Lou is preceded in death by her husband, Hubert as well as her parents, Herman and Jennie (Wynia) Oldenkamp, brothers Burt Oldenkamp and Gary Oldenkamp and sister, Berdina (Oldenkamp) Martin.

She is survived by her four children and their spouses: Gwyn and Dennis Brewster of Beaverton, Greg and Kathi Kinnaman of Hillsboro, Geff and Lisa Kinnaman of Sisters, Gayle and Tim Bieber of Portland; her three sisters: Alice Million, Joyce Etulain, and Linda Oldenkamp; fifteen grandchildren and twentyseven great-grandchildren Memorial gifts may be made to Hillsboro Nazarene Church, 1390 NE 21st Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124 or online at: hillsboronazarene.org, memo: Missions Kinnaman Memorial.

This is proof that we determine how the next few months play out while we work to swiftly distribute the COVID vaccine far and wide across the state.”

Both Gov. Brown and Allen encouraged Oregonians to continue following safety guidelines and to rethink their Christmas and New Years plans.

“Don’t let the memories of this holiday turn into painful regrets because of a careless gathering that led to a tragic outbreak,” Allen said. “We can enjoy each other’s company without being in each other’s presence. We can celebrate the season together in different locations. We can show we care about one another be keeping each other safe and healthy.”

Financial Relief Oregon held a special session this week to address several financial needs that have been caused by the pandemic. The state passed legislature for a $800 million package that will provide relief for tenets and landlords, keep roofs over people’s heads by extending the eviction moratorium and provide support for restaurants and bars. Gov. Brown said they also passed a wildfire relief package.

“I called for a special session because it is absolutely critical we get the help to Oregonians who have made the necessary

Dorothy was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and loved to spend time cooking, baking, sewing, gardening and watching her grandchildren grow up. She worked closed to 30 years at the Mohler Coop Store, in Mohler Oregon. She also worked for a few years in the Nehalem School District as student aide. Once her and LeRoy both retired, they enjoyed spending time with their kids and grandkids, and doing a little traveling to places they had not seen before.

Dorothy is predeceased by her husband LeRoy Davidson, and is survived by Dennis Davidson, and wife Gay, Debby Davidson, Daryl Davidson and wife Judy, 8 grand children and 2 great grand children.

Dorothy will be laid to rest at Nehalem American Legion Cemetery at a later date. sacrifices to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Gov. Brown said.

Gov. Brown also acknowledged the $900 billion pandemic relief package that passed through the United States Congress this week that includes direct stimulus payments to Americans. The bill includes $600 to individuals making up to $75,000 per year and $1,200 to couples making up to $150,000, with payments phased out for higher incomes.

An additional $600 payment will be made per dependent child, similar to the last round of relief payments in the spring of 2020. There is also a $300 per week jobless benefit that will be distributed to individuals on unemployment, which will last until March 2021. “(Both packages) will help carry us through the coming months as we continue to gain traction with our vaccine campaign,” Gov. Brown said.

The next steps on that vaccine campaign includes widening distribution of the vaccine to people over 75 and essential workers. Gov. Brown noted on Tuesday that educators and various school staff members will be at the top of the list in Oregon’s next round of vaccines.

“Our kids need to know they are number one, and we are doing everything we can to get them back in our classrooms,’ Gov. Brown said. “This pandemic has shown us the hard truth that in person instruction is so much more than what we take for its face value. School is where our kids connect with their community, it’s where many kids get meals and much needed support from caring adults.”

n Letters Continued from Page 5 severe infections and death. If sufficient numbers of people are vaccinated and immunized against this virus, we will get this pandemic under control, prevent an enormous amount of human misery, prevent thousands of deaths, and prevent future chronic medical conditions which have been linked to Covid-19 infections. We will get back to a normal economy and a normal life.

However, this post-pandemic state will not arise immediately and there are uncertainties, some of which are not “scientific,” but depend on how people behave toward each other. Two points: one scientific and one social.

First, we must understand that although the completed clinical trials show that immunized people are protected against developing clinical disease and dying, it is not established that the protection is long-lasting, nor is it established that immunized people cannot have asymptomatic infections and incapable of transmitting the virus to others.

These are questions that time and future research will clarify.

The uncertainty regarding the effect of vaccination on ability to transmit virus is a major scientific reason why immunized people need to continue the two proven means of preventing viral spread: masking and social distancing.

Second, for a vaccinated person to continue to wear masks and social distance is just simple courtesy and consideration for others. As someone in their late 70’s and thus at high risk based on age, I currently perceive unmasked persons who comes within six feet of me as a potential threat to my well-being, if not to my life. I do not think that I am unique, or particularly cowardly, in this perception. Even if you are personally protected from getting ill, people you come into daily contact with do not know this. Your close unmasked presence provokes anxiety, if not fear, on the part of many, especially those who are old or more vulnerable to the virus for a variety of other reasons. Wearing a mask and socially distancing seems like

www.tillamookheadlightherald.com such a small ask in order to make others feel and be safe.

Our economy will not fully recover until people are not only safe, but feel safe.

As an old person, I will get the vaccine as soon as it is my turn to get vaccinated. Even after I am vaccinated and am presumably highly protected from getting ill from covid-19, I will continue to wear a mask and socially distance when outside my home in order to biologically protect my fellow citizens and, almost as important, to allow them to feel sufficiently safe to resume a more normal life.

What a day

Early morning call; Thought it might be my family but no.

Seems I need to extend my fifteen year old car’s warranty.

Next call: I have very hard time understanding him. Think he needs more lessons on how to speak English. He asks me to turn on my computer and says I have big problem. I tell him he is big problem. Next call: Microsoft says my license has expired. Push 1 and I hung up.

Next call: My Apple account has been compromised, Now I do eat many apples but I don’t have an Apple account. Next call: They are taking $391.95 out of my checking account by the end of the day but that is OK because the next call says that I can get a reverse mortgage to pay for it.

I still haven’t heard from my family and it’s getting so I hate answering the phone. Have a great day and Merry Christmas.

Another roadside distraction

This past week I was driving with my grandsons through Pleasant Valley but had this rather unpleasant experience.

In plain sight along Hwy. 101 was a large sign with big bold letters that read “XXXX You, Governor Kate Brown. Merry Christmas.” I may not have listed this quote in the right order, but you know which expletive I’m referring to and you get the drift.

My grandsons were a little confused and asked me what the sign meant.

E P E S AL

Egad! What do I say?

Do I tell them that I have a hard time understanding why its author would want to attack the Oregon governor in this way?

I have been watching Governor Kate Brown since she took office in 2015, and, personally, I think she has done a great job, particularly considering the disastrous impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic. Can I explain to my grandsons that Gov. Brown has the safety and welfare of all Oregonians in her heart as she deals with daily changes in infection numbers, deaths, and an ever-increasing base of knowledge about the disease.

Shall I explain that this is called the “novel” corona virus for a reason? Everything about it is new, and therefore, from its first appearance in our world about a year ago, we’ve had to learn how to deal with its effects and how to keep ourselves as safe as we can.

My grandsons, of course, wear masks, and, until last week, were getting all their classes on line. They know the pandemic is serious.

But, how can I help them understand what it’s like to to make the tough decisions required of our governor? I could share some basic statistical information that shows how important Kate Brown’s leadership has been. I could show numbers in a report from Johns Hopkins University that prove that Oregon, with the 26th largest population among our Untied States is only 41st in infection rates. In fact, I learned that among the four states closest in population to Oregon - Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Connecticut Oregon has done by far the best job of controlling the virus, with the states mentioned ranking 22nd, 25th, 28th, and 34th in infections respectively.

I could then go into great detail explaining that prior to the pandemic, opposition to Gov. Brown’s attempt to deal with the Climate Crisis, the most crucial issue facing the human race today, had precipitated several recall attempts. While I’m on that soapbox, I could tell my grandsons that Gov. Brown’s staunch defense against attacks

by President Trump of Oregon’s rights to control its destiny in matters of policing, immigration, education, the environment, etc., had also created opposition.

G N I ND NEW HOME!

It is a beauty, 2021 Manufactured Home with 3 bedrooms 2 baths, kitchen appliances included in the over 1200 sq. ft. home.

Also, a small garage and Patterson Creek frontage across from Bay City Park.

MLS #20-749 $265,000

Page A7

But, I’d want them to know that opposition is what makes this country work, and that Gov. Brown knew that before she accepted the job. It’s makes her job tough. But, when she is able to reach agreements with constituents on both sides of an issue, which she has done often, her job is also very rewarding.

However, I’d still have a hard time explaining to my grandsons why this opposition would be exhibited so profanely along Hwy. 101. I have a hard time understanding it myself.

So what do I say? I know.

I’ll tell them that whoever wrote that sign and put it in their yard simply misspelled the word “Thank.”

Yeah! The sign should read, “Thank You Governor Kate Brown, Merry Christmas.”

2020 Holiday season drive sober or get pulled over continues This holiday season, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is partnering with Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office to share the message about the dangers of drunk driving. Through January 1, 2021, law enforcement

will participate in the highvisibility national enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. During this period, local law enforcement will show zero tolerance for drunk driving. Increased state and national messages about the dangers of driving impaired, coupled with enforcement and increased officers on the road, aim to drastically reduce drunk driving on our nation’s roadways.

Sadly, the statistics prove that we have a lot of work to do to put an end to drunk driving. According to NHTSA, 10,511 people were killed in drunk-driving crashes in 2018.

On average, more than 10,000 people were killed each year from 2014 to 2018 — one person was killed in a drunk-driving crash every 50 minutes in 2018. Therefore, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office is working with NHTSA to remind drivers that drunk driving is not only illegal, but also a matter of life and death.

As you head out to the holiday festivities, remember: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

“The holidays should be an enjoyable time for our community members, not a marker for the death of a loved one due to a drunk-driving crash,”

said Sheriff Jim Horton. “We need commitment from our community members that they’ll keep the roads free of drunk drivers so that everyone can have a safe holiday. This is a campaign to get the message out that drunk driving is illegal, and it takes lives. Help us put an end to this senseless behavior,” He said.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office 5995 Long Prairie Rd. Tillamook, OR 97141 Sheriff Jim Horton 503-842-2561 www.tillamooksheriff.com 503-8153399 Fax During the month of December 2018, 839 people lost their lives in traffic crashes involving a drunk driver. During the Christmas and New Year’s Day holiday periods in 2018 alone, there were more drunk-driving-related fatalities (285) than during any other holiday period that year. These fatalities are preventable, and drivers must remember that driving impaired by any substance — alcohol or other drugs — is deadly, illegal, and selfish behavior.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and NHTSA are reminding citizens of the many resources available

to get them home safely.

“Drunk driving is not acceptable behavior,” said Sheriff Horton. “It is essential to plan a sober ride home before you ever leave for the party. That is why, during the holiday season, we will make zero exceptions and arrest all drunk drivers. There are just no excuses,” He said.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office recommends these safe alternatives to drinking and driving: • Remember that it is never okay to drink and drive. Even if you have had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride service to get home safely.

• Call a cab or a friend for a ride • If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact police.

• Do you have a friend who is about to drink and drive?

Take the keys away and plan to get your friend home safely.

Alliance helps preserve Tillamook County’s history

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 NEW 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

bring your stories and creative ideas for more projects.

His fascination with tracking things that float in the ocean began in May 1990, when a Pacific storm knocked five container loads of Nike shoes off a cargo vessel. About a year later, those shoes began washing up along the West Coast, including Oregon beaches.

Amber and I did an impromptu ukulele performance at the Spouting Horn in Depoe Bay, split a seafood burrito from the Newport Café and had our traditional Chinese food dinner from Chinese Garden in Tillamook.

reetings Bay City, I would like to share a story with you, and yes, it’s a true story. A sixty-five year old woman raising her six year old adopted son called Center 50+ in Salem needing help. She was referred to the center from a resource line. The staff at Center 50+ set to work gathering toys and groceries to be delivered on Christmas eve.

When it was time to deliver them it was discovered that the caller actually lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had been mistakenly referred by the resource line she had contacted. It was now too late to connect her to resources in Tulsa. Center 50+ Director, Marilyn “Daily” Blair, immediately sent out a plea over Facebook asking someone in Tulsa to help this family.

Dozens of folks responded with information and resources. Two families (friends of a friend) volunteered to shop and deliver food and toys. In Marilyn’s words, “It was a Christmas miracle, and a gift to all those who rallied to make it happen. Many thanked us for giving them an opportunity to do for others during this time”. The woman has texted many words of thanks. However this message especially touched Marilyn and her staff: “I want to thank all of the angels from Oregon who helped out an elderly woman and her small son in Oklahoma, complete strangers brought together through a #211 Resource Center error, able to share the love of Christmas with one another, and now unlikely friends”. Christmas is a season of miracles, and sometimes it is caring people who deliver them.

I am reading a new book titled “Britt-Marie Was Here” written by Frederick Backman. By the time I reached page three, I was hooked. I love the main character, Britt-Marie, because I understand her so well: She can’t stand

a mess and she has strict views on the arrangement of cutlery drawers and on how others should live their lives. I don’t want to spoil the plot for you, so I won’t share why she has moved alone to a very small dying town. It’s a much deeper and moving story than I’m sharing here; but the author’s description of her made me laugh and cringe at the same time. I quote, “As the fastidious Britt-Marie is drawn into the daily doings, hopes, and dreams of her unpredictable fellow citizens, she is faced with new challenges that require more than her formidable powers of organization and unrivaled knowledge of cleaning products can handle”.

My close friends who are reading this post will tell you that my favorite words are fastidious, formidable,

a “sneaker society” set up by beachcombers to exchange rights and lefts of certain sizes so that a person could have a matching pair. Dr. Ebbesmeyer went on to track loads of tub

toys, hockey gloves and many other strange things that have washed ashore. Check out his book and/or his website, https://flotsametrics.com.

Good news on the medical front: Rod and Mary Jane Pelson’s daughter, Shelby, has received the first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

Shelby Hunt is the Director of Emergency Services at Northern Nevada Medical Center in Sparks, Nevada. Shelby has been on the local news there frequently, speaking on behalf of the hospital about the COVID-19 pandemic, and was inoculated on live television to

reassure the community that the vaccine is safe. We can hardly wait for a COVID vaccine to reach us out here on the Oregon coast.

The weekend before Christmas, when we took gifts to our family in the Portland and Salem areas, water was over the road in several places on Bayocean Road and in other spots along our route. The rivers were high and muddy, looking like chocolate milkshakes pouring downstream.

Steelhead fishermen will have to wait; they love water that is “Coke-bottle green” for their hobby. We typically see a lot

of fishermen lining the river banks over Christmas break; we don’t know if the high water will keep them home this year. Tight lines to everyone giving it a good go.

We have missed the Cape Meares Christmas party, the caroling party, and now the New Year’s party with its silent auction. We won’t be sorry to wave goodbye to 2020. May the good times roll again in the New Year, once we all get those shots in the arm. Just a little more patience and we’ll be there. Be safe, remain hopeful and have a Happy New Year!

view migrating whales and for interesting facts about the marine mammals.

“Oregonians love these traditions, but with the pandemic continuing to affect our communities we encourage everyone to visit the whale watching sites and hike or explore a state park January 1 on their own,” said Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Parking fees-for the 25 parks that normally require them- will be waived on New Year’s day, Friday. Before you visit a state park, take a look at the Oregon State Parks status map at https://stateparks.oregon.gov/ index.cfm?do=visit.status> that shows open and closed parks, as well as parks with reduced services. If a park is crowded, please consider visiting another nearby park.

and organization; and “unrivaled knowledge of cleaning products” is music to my ears. Frederick Backman is not only telling the story about a woman rediscovering herself after a personal crisis, but weaves the characters of an entire town into the story. The end result is that you fall in love with Britt-Marie and the citizens of Borg. It takes a very talented writer to make you laugh, cry, and shout out “I love this story!”.

Speaking about wonderful citizens of a small town, Bay City does not take a back seat when it comes to being a kind and loving community.

Because of COVID-19 we won’t be hosting our New Years eve party hardy bash. I’m looking forward
