Officers aided by flagger and construction worker in foot chase Joe Warren jwarren@countrymedia.net

S

tanding all day holding a flag directing traffic around a construction site can get a little mundane. This was not the case last Thursday in Tierra Del Mar, near the site Facebook’s subcontractors are currently working.

Joe Rogers owner of

Aangels Traffic Control was out working the site where Facebook has set up and some flagging and security was needed, so they hired the local traffic control company. Rogers says he was out working the area for SubCom. “I got a call from my son that law enforcement was in the area involved in a foot chase in pursuit of a car

thief,” Rogers said. “He heard it on the scanner.”

According to a release from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s office, In the early morning hours of Thursday, January 21, the Tillamook Edward D. Merrill County Sheriff’s

office received a report of a vehicle stolen in the Idaville area. A 2015 Ford F150 pick-up truck was running unattended and being warmed up when it was stolen.

Later in the day, a deputy responded

to a report of a suspicious white male adult lurking around a house in Tierra Del Mar. When the deputy arrived he saw the earlier reported stolen vehicle. The suspicious male, later identified as Edward D Merrill, 19, of Idaville, fled on foot with the deputy in pursuit. Other officers soon arrived in the area and the

t has made national news that Facebook has been tightening it’s policies and even deleting or suspending accounts since August of last year. Facebook and other social media platforms even suspended President Trump’s accounts recently. Last week, Tiffany Jacob, who is from Tillamook and has had a personal account for over 12 years woke up last Friday morning to find out her account was gone along with other accounts she was the administrator.

“Facebook wiped me out like I never existed,” Jacob said in a phone interview last week. “I got up in the morning and it was gone.”

Along with her account being deleted, she found out the Tillamook County Beekeepers Association Facebook account was also taken down, an account she was also the administrator. This came to a huge surprise to her and the association’s president Brad York.

“On the beekeepers’ website, we had a link to our Facebook page and it literally disappeared,” York said. “It’s too bad because we used our Facebook account to communicate with our members and for fundraising, now that’s gone.”

Jacob is an organizer in Tillamook for the Back the Blue group and would post times, places and dates she would host rallies to support local law enforcement.

She also posted other political content, often times chiming in on the talk of the day. She is also a supporter of Make America Great Again, a movement started by the Trump campaign and would post things related to that group.

Jacob is not sure why Facebook targeted her accounts, especially those she was involved with that had nothing to do with her political stances, like the local beekeepers account.

“I even had a secondary account set up if anything ever happened,” Jacob said. “Within two hours of me using that account, it also went away.”

Jacob believes Facebook was

somehow tracking her Internet protocol (IP) address. “My Instagram was also disabled,” she said.

“There really is no reason for this, I’ve never been in any trouble with Facebook.”

Jacob tried to appeal Facebook’s decision, but so far has not had much luck, and can’t talk to anyone at Facebook. “This was done by some algorithm or robot, Facebook uses,” Jacob believes.

“When I tried to logon to my account it took me to some browser and it said I had 30 days to contact them to try and appeal this, but they (Facebook) won’t respond.”

She’s tried to call customer service at Facebook.

“They have made it impossible to appeal,” she said. “I’ve even tried to fill out their online forms and that didn’t work.”

Jacob even went so far as to report the instances to the Better Business Bureau. Thursday morning the BBB contacted Jacob via email and told her she could resubmit the appeal forms online with Facebook. She finally received Facebook’s response, stating, “Your Facebook account was disabled because it did not follow our Community Standards,” the digital note read. “This decision can’t be reversed.”

Jacob said since she’s been organizing the local rallies, she’s become a target by some locally and beyond, she said she’s been harassed and called names.

“I had people world-wide attacking Pretty Paws Pet Grooming, stating I’m raciest and antiSemitic,” she said. “I’m quite sure one of our community members posted my information on the group, ‘Let’s get a raciest fired today,’ but I disputed that with Facebook and got it turned off.”

Her mother is the administrator of the Pretty Paws Pet Grooming Facebook page, so that page is still intact.

According to reports by National Public Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting, “Facebook is targeting content with the phrase “stop the steal,” referring to false claims of election fraud. Twitter is targeting accounts that focus on the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Both tech companies cited the inauguration of President Joe

esidents at Kilchis House were over the moon to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Even Tillamook County’s own 101-year-old centenarian Bunny participated.

All who received the doses were monitored for adverse reaction and all are well.

Nehalem Bay House residents and staff will receive their first dose of the vaccine by Nehalem Fire and Rescue this week as well.

“We are just so thankful for Tillamook County Community Health and Robin Watts, RN for reaching out and making this happen. Both communities were on ‘the list’ with no scheduled date in sight. Tillamook County Community to the rescue,” said Tracy DeLano, regional program director of CARE, Inc., with a sigh of relief, “I hope that after the second dose is administered the State will allow for family visitation. This definitely seems like a good first step.”

York says the beekeepers association will survive Facebook’s small sting, but looks at this as a much larger issue.

“Freedom of speech is a cherished idea, as well it should be,” York said. “Those of us that live in America consider it a basic right protected by the U.S. Constitution.

People have fought and died for it.”

York also said he’s not interested in starting a new Facebook page for the association or even dealing with an appeal. That may be taken care of if Jacob’s appeal is ever heard.

“Somewhere, somehow, the ideal has gone from freedom of speech to freedom from speech,” York added. “Freedom from Speech that one does not like is a threat to both pluralism and

democracy itself.”

Jacob hopes the decision she got is not the final word. It’s important to her because she had years of family pictures and messages she wanted to keep forever.

“I had pictures of my grandmother before she died, my baby and husband when we first started dating,” she said. “I’d like to get those back and backed-up somewhere.”

In a virtual instance, the social media mob can wipe your digital life away, just like what happened to Jacob.

“I feel very violated, like I’ve been spied on or monitored,” Jacob added. “I try to be well spoken, I don’t want people to take things the wrong way, and I’m flabbergasted it happened to me because they are obviously targeting people who organize rallies, they want to control the speech.”

illamook County has a total of 372 confirmed positive and presumptive cases of COVID-19, as of Thursday, Jan. 21. Oregon Health Authority reports 327 confirmed positive cases as of Jan. 21.

Tillamook County Community Health Centers Administration Marlene Putman said during a Tillamook County Leadership call Friday, Jan. 22, Tillamook County could move out of Extreme Risk and into High Risk if COVID-19 case counts remain below 60 for the two-week period. There were 25 cases in the first week and 10 cases in the second week of that twoweek period.

“We still have to look at our numbers for Saturday and Sunday, at least, to see where we are at,” Putman said.

“We are at six this week so we should see some movement on that.”

The health center regularly updates their website with COVID-19 vaccine information. They are also providing vaccine updates during the leadership calls, as well as the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meetings Wednesdays at 10 a.m. Visit the county’s website for call in information. Oregon Health Authority also has county-specific information on their website.

If you have questions or would like to know your status of getting the vaccine, you can call the health center’s new COVID-19 Vaccine Information Line at 503-842-3914 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Representative Ed Colson said 778 vaccinations have been issued in the county, as of the morning of Jan. 22.

“We have completed our Groups 1 and 2 within the Phase 1A,” Colson said. “We’re in progress for Group 3.”

Group 3 includes daytime/outpatient care, home caregivers, individuals who receive care at home, and non-emergency medical transport.

Colson said the goal for next week is to vaccinate those in Group 3.

“We are also receiving additional vaccines for which the vaccine planning committee will meet later today to discuss the allocation of that, as well as updating our school districts,” Colson said. “We know from the governor’s office the school districts are expected to be receiving vaccines.”

Educators and childcare providers are in Phase 1B, Group 1, which are expected to start receiving the vaccine sometime in February.

The vaccine planning committee is identifying sites for vaccine clinics.

Every vaccine that comes into the county will be administered. Booster shots will be shipped out, Colson confirmed.

Hospital bed capacity for Region 1 – Tillamook, Clatsop, Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah and Washington counties – is at 65 adult ICU beds available out of 358 beds, as of Thursday, Jan. 21.

Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) “Warning Week” data shows 53 new COVID-19 cases for Tillamook County over the past two weeks from Jan. 3-16.

Tillamook County Community Health Centers Administrator Marlene Putman said during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioner meeting Wednesday, Jan. 20, that this would indicate a move out of Extreme Risk and into High Risk if case counts remain below 60 for the two-week period.

“The final case count and risk determination will also take into consideration this current week period running from Saturday through Sunday,” Putman said.

OHA’s final count that determines the risk status will be announced Tuesday, Jan. 26, and the change would take effect Friday, Jan. 29.

Ed Colson, a representative from Tillamook County Community Health Centers, provided a vaccine update during the meeting. Colson said vaccinations are at 681 and up to 733 by the end of the day Jan. 20. Vaccinations are only occurring in Phase 1A currently, which includes groups such as first responders, hospitals, long-term care facilities, staff

in correctional setting, daytime/outpatient care, non-emergency medical transport, and other health care providers and public health settings. Vaccinations for those in Phase 1B – educators, people 65 and older, essential workers, adults with underlying conditions and prison and detention centers personnel – is expected to start soon but there is no confirmed date at this time.

“The governor has said these vaccinations are to begin within the state Jan. 25,” Colson said. “As soon as we receive our vaccinations, we will be able to let everybody know through our website, through our communications and radio.”

Right now, planning is in the process for vaccination clinics, Colson added.

They are currently trying to identify those areas and continue to request the public to remain patient.

“We are working hard with our vaccine planning committee, which is comprised of Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic, Nehalem Bay Fire, and the health department, to get these groups vaccinated as efficiently and as quickly as possible,” Colson said.

Commission Vice-Chair David Yamamoto said the commissioners understand there is concern in the community about not getting a fair share of vaccinations.

The county has discussed a mass vac-

cination event, when there is a sizable number of vaccines, but that timeline is unknown.

“One of the concerns I have, the 700some people who have already received that first vaccination, I’m concerned that four weeks after their first one, they need that second vaccination,” Yamamoto said. “I don’t think we have any guarantees that we’re going to have the amount of vaccine we need to make sure that the ones that already have been vaccinated get their second shot.”

Commissioner Erin Skaar said vaccines will take some time to administer.

As soon as there are vaccines available, the county will let the public know when each group qualifies to get one. People should continue to tune in to the weekly board meetings, as well as the county leadership update calls on Friday. Meeting information can be found on the county’s website.

Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer Tillamook School District began a hybrid model Monday, Jan. 25, for grades 7-12. The district began the hybrid model for grades K-6 in December and have been planning the hybrid models since September.

“Our staff has been wonderful since March when we originally closed schools statewide,” Superintendent Curt Shelley said. “We have turned the dial and evolved from packets to comprehensive distance learning and now to hybrid. The staff all need to be commended for their efforts, willingness and skillset.”

Shelley said the district went slow and planned well during the first trimester while listening to staff and

the community, while also adjusting to updates and changes from the Oregon Department of Education and recent announcements from the governor’s office.

“We have learned from grades pre-K-6, not only in our district but other districts throughout Oregon, the nation and the world, on how to mitigate the virus,” Shelley said. “We cannot prevent the virus from entering our building, however, if we follow safety protocol, we can mitigate the transmission within our cohorts and school system.”

Staff is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the vaccine, Shelley added. They also know the importance of prioritizing the mental wellness of students and feel it is time to bring students back into school. The Tillamook Virtual Academy remains an option for families if they choose.

District is set to begin an onsite/hybrid model beginning March 15. The elementary level will be moving to the onsite model and the secondary level will be implementing a hybrid model.

Superintendent Paul Erlebach answered staff and parent questions during a Let’s Chat with Paul meeting held via Zoom Jan. 13.

Erlebach said the new wing in Nehalem Elementary School has a ventilation system.

Principal Kristi Woika said air purifiers are in classrooms that need them, as well as the main building.

“Right now, we’re not focused on March 15 as much as we are just trying to increase our limited in-person instruction to February,” Woika said. “There will be more information coming out to families within the next week about that.”

Woika plans on gathering parent input to firm up enroll-

ment for onsite learning.

Limited in-person learning is optional. Woika said she does not know what onsite learning will look like until she knows what parents want.

With enforcing the use of face masks, Erlebach said there are protocols in place.

If a student has a doctor’s note stating they cannot wear a mask and need in-person instruction away from the cohort, the school will provide that. Teachers are being trained on safety protocols.

Nestucca Valley School District plans to wait to begin an in-person instructional model until staff can be vaccinated for COVID-19 and the county moves out of Extreme Risk. The school district will continue with comprehensive distance learning at this time.

Oregon Gov. pushes ahead with teachers next on vaccination schedule Oregon is pressing forward with plans to be one of a small number of states to offer COVID-19 vaccines to school teachers and education staff before the elderly and those with chronic health conditions.

Governor Kate Brown joined teachers and officials from the Oregon Health Authority in a carefully choreographed press conference Friday to defend the decision.

“It’s really pretty simple: I’m using every single tool we have to get kids back into the classroom this school year,” Brown said.

That’ll be hard to do safely until the teachers and educational staff who can see hundreds of students per day are vaccinated against the virus. So, the state’s put those individuals near the top of the vaccine priority list, right below health care workers and first responders.

“We also know so many families have been unable to meet the needs of distance learning,” Brown said.

Brown and the other state leaders put the decision simply, saying that vaccinating teachers and educational staff before seniors and the elderly is the only way the state’s students will be able to return to in-person classes before the school year ends.

“There’s exponential value here too. For every teacher who’s back in the classroom,

they help 20, 30, 35 students get their life back on track,” Brown said. “The harsh reality is we are managing a scarce resource right now.

I wish, I wish we had more vaccines right now.”

Still, there is a bright spot for Oregon’s seniors: Brown said the state had completed the first dose of vaccinations for seniors living in longterm care centers, which have made up over half the state’s virus deaths.

Though COVID cases and hospitalizations statewide have been on the decline in recent weeks, the conference came during the deadliest week of the pandemic to date, with 195 deaths reported statewide.

“We know that deaths are a lagging indicator, and they take a while to show up, but each of these deaths leaves a hole in the lives of friends, family and neighbors,” said Rachel Banks, public health director with the Oregon Health Authority.

Still, the majority of deaths in Oregon associated with the virus – 77% – have been associated with people 70 years and older.

The choice to put that group behind Oregon’s educators in line for the vaccine comes down to how quickly the state will be able to vaccinate teachers and staff, said Dave Baden, OHA’s chief financial officer who presented statistics on the state’s expected dose delivery and use schedule.

“We could have taken a

different path. We could have vaccinated seniors first,” Baden said. “But because we could only count on 50,000 prime doses per week, in that scenario we wouldn’t reach a critical mass of educators until we were well into May.” Instead, Baden said the state’s plan pushes vaccinations of Oregon’s seniors out two weeks from what had been previously planned, when the state expected a greater number of doses. That means seniors over 80 will be eligible for the vaccine starting Feb. 8, and other seniors will be eligible in the weeks after that.

In the meantime, the state’s 105,000 teachers and school staff and 47,000 early learning workers will be eligible for the vaccine Jan. 25. Baden projected over half will have the first dose of the vaccine by the time seniors become eligible.

What’s more, given the state’s current rate of vaccinations, Baden projected about two thirds of the phase 1A population, which includes a broad range of health care workers, will be vaccinated by Jan. 25. By May, he expects the state will have vaccinated a “critical mass” of its seniors.

While Baden said the state might receive an increased supply of vaccines in the coming weeks, that’s not certain, and the state’s efforts are entirely dependent on the supply it receives.

“Let me emphasize, our timelines depend on the doses

Marketing grants awarded to 16 tourism-related local businesses providing financial support and product donations to organizations in Tillamook County to help our businesses, nonprofits and social services,” said Nan Devlin, executive director of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA). “This match to our annual marketing grant meant we could more fully help businesses recover and thrive in 2021.”

The Marketing Renewal Grant encouraged applicants to collaborate with other businesses on marketing efforts in 2021. Applicants submitted impact statements on how COVID had affected their businesses, and what they were doing to recover and sustain. A marketing plan with goals, tactics, and metrics, as well as a realistic budget, were also required in the submission. This helped the reviewers, the board of

directors of TCVA, to score and rank submissions and make recommendations for funding.

Of the 16 grant applicants/ recipients, all are collaborating with local tourism-related businesses, bringing the impact of the marketing grants to nearly 90 businesses in Tillamook County.

The recipients include: Blue Siren Shellfish, Offshore Grill, Oregon Coastal Flowers, Garibaldi Portside Bistro, Garibaldi Maritime Museum, Kayak Tillamook, The Winery at Manzanita, North Fork 53, Ocean Inn, Oregon Beach Ceremonies, Nehalem Bay Winery, Garibaldi Charters, Wild Manzanita, Oregon Coast Today, Lucky Beach Boutique, and Tillamook Chamber of Commerce.

Carter Lee of Tillamook named to Missouri State University’s fall 2020 dean’s list Each semester, students at Missouri State University who attain academic excellence are named to the dean’s list. For undergraduate students, criteria include enrollment in at least 12 credit hours during the fall semester and at least a 3.50 grade point average (on a 4.00 scale).

Carter Lee of Tillamook made the list. Lee was among more than 5,300 students named to the fall 2020 dean’s list.

Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive university system with a mission in public affairs.

Their purpose is to develop fully educated persons with a focus on ethical leadership, cultural competence and community engagement.

NEWS TRAVELS FAST Stay ahead...

ers are next in line for the COVID vaccines. We are just full of emotions – we know everybody needs those vaccines, but we really want our schools to open, and all the teachers to be protected, because at the end, we are parents, we are mothers, we are daughters, we have kids and we want to be safe too,” Pelayo said. “But we really want to be protected, and we are desperate to get back in our classrooms.”

Friday’s final speaker, before the governor took just three questions about her plans, made the most impassioned plea for a return to in-person school.

“Over this past year, I

have been astonished to hear more of my peers come to me and say, ‘I just can’t do it anymore, I just can’t,’” said Yosalin Arenas Alvarez, a senior at South Medford High School.

Alvarez compared reopening schools to baking a cake: Everyone wants cake, but the right steps (like vaccinating teachers, in the case of schools) have to be followed to make sure it’s done correctly.

“Please, as the amazing Oregon as I know you to be, can we come together and make a cake, and not a loaf of bread?” Alvarez asked.

Like no other year, 2020 was hard on many tourismrelated businesses. Lodging closed for nearly three months, restaurants were forced multiple times into takeout only or very limited capacity, small commercial fisheries and farms lost as much as 75 percent of their customer base, and retail went online or curbside service only. The economic impact to these industry sectors was significant.

That is when the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) reached out to Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (Visit Tillamook Coast), aiding local businesses with a $100,000 match for the grant round of $100,000 that the tourism organization offers each year.

“TCCA’s Hometown Resilience Fund has been so generous in so many ways,

we receive from the federal government, Baden said. “If we receive more, we can move faster. If we receive less, we’ll have no choice but to slow down.”

During Friday’s conference, the governor invited teachers and a student to help her make the case for vaccinating the education workforce ahead of seniors.

“The main concern I hear is that many parents, caregivers and guardians feel illequipped to help teach their child, while also showing a great deal of concern about their child’s social-emotional health and the feelings of isolation,” said Nicole ButlerHooton, who teaches second grade in Eugene.

Butler-Hooton said online learning has been hard for students, who’ve reported depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and a lack of motivation while they’re unable to join peers and teachers in the classroom.

Mayra Pelayo, a kindergarten teacher in Ontario, went on to say teachers also want to be back in the classroom.

GARDENING MATTERS

I

was reading an article emailed to me from a nursery in Portland that said we, as a population, have been buying more house plants. Of course, it went on to tell me what a large selection of house plants they had for sale. Such is the nature of operating a business in a time of pandemic.

But it did get me to thinking that it made sense to me that people were buying more house plants this winter than for many years before. We have been quarantined in our homes, physically distancing from loved ones and friends for almost a year. So we naturally have wanted to bring some of nature inside to brighten our days. Such

was certainly true during the holidays last year when I took great delight in my blooming amaryllis.

To my mind, there are three categories of houseplants: high maintenance, low maintenance and somewhere in between.

Orchids are high maintenance, philodendron are low.

It all depends on how much time and thought you want to put into caring for your houseplants. And most of them fall in the “in between” category.

Orchids have been a part of my décor for many years and I enjoy the time I spend with them, pampering and fussing over them. But there are lots of other house plants that can fill the bill without

needing to be coddled. You will recognize many of these plants from your mother’s or even your grandmother’s homes. Maybe a little trip down Memory Lane is in order.

First on the list has to be the spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum). An easierto-care for plant has yet to be found. They like bright

Crash on Hwy 101 claims two

On Saturday, January 23, 2021 at approximately 1:01 p.m., Oregon State Police Troopers and emergency personnel responded to a vehicle collision on Hwy 101 near mile post 53.

Preliminary investigation revealed a Ford Clubwagon van, operated by Robert Muzzy (69) of Nehalem, was southbound and went into the northbound lane colliding with a Nissan Rogue operated by Leeanna Sutton (63) of Rockaway Beach.

Muzzy and Sutton both sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced deceased.

OSP was assisted by the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Rockaway Beach Fire Department, Rockaway Beach Police Department and ODOT.

light but not direct sunlight and watering about one a week will be plenty. Test the top inch of soil and if it is too wet, cut back to watering every ten days. Commonly placed in a hanging basket, they also do well in a pot on a window sill.

Philodendron are also very low maintenance plants. These are famous vining climbers and I have seen them winding their way around windows, doors and even around paintings. But they are easily pruned back to a desirable length and the cuttings can be rooted to give to friends. There is also a non-vining variety that has a more upright and spreading growth pattern.

They like the same bright but not direct sunlight as spider plants, and the same watering schedule: about once a week or 10 days but when the soil has dried out at the top inch of the pot.

A relatively new variety is called Philodendron ‘Birkin’ and it has a novel pin-striped variegation that increases as the plant ages. Check for this one at larger garden centers, although it can be quite pricey, ranging from $30-$70 for a six-inch pot.

It really gives the tired old variegated Philodendron a whole new look.

Another old-fashioned indoor plant is the rex begonia. But these aren’t

your grandmother’s begonias anymore! The leaves are swirled like a snail shell, thus the name “escargo begonia.” Grown more for their leaves than their flowers, these lovely plants also like bright but not direct light. They like moist soil, but it must be well-drained or they will get root-rot. Let the top couple of inches of soil dry out before watering thoroughly. They do like high humidity so misting them a couple times a week keeps them happy. I have one called ‘Emily’ that I have had since 2003 that is still thriving. I also have a new one called ‘Silver Swirl’. They live in an east window in the fall and winter but I move them away from direct sun in the spring and summer. These are a little trickier than a spider plant, but well worth the attention they need. They can be found in most larger nurseries that have an indoor plant section.

An old-fashioned plant that does take some specialized care is the African violet (Saintpaulia). But again, they are worth the effort.

First, they require a specialized potting mixture that is slightly acidic and has equal parts perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss. Or you can purchase a bag of African violet planting medium at a nursery or garden center.

Secondly, light conditions.

Here again, place in bright but not direct sun. This may entail moving them from a southern exposure in the winter to a northern or eastern exposure in the summer. A light curtain will help prevent leaf scorching.

Watering is also important.

Use room-temperature water and only when the soil feels dry to the touch. Water only at the soil line and try not to spill water on the leaves as they will spot. And the size of pot is essential as well. If the pot is too large, the plant won’t bloom; too small and the roots will bind. Generally, placing the plant in a pot that is one-third the size of the plant will be perfect for the roots. Plastic pots don’t dry out as quickly, but terra cotta pots allow more air flow.

Garden centers and nurseries have wide varieties of houseplants, usually in the winter months when not much can be planted outside. By knowing your home’s natural light sources, you can find a plant for just about anywhere in the house. Some are grown for their foliage – which is nice year-round – while other plants have lovely blooms like the Kalanchoe ‘Pink’ or the African violet. Like all forms of gardening, it comes down to personal preference.

“All of a sudden we saw this male in his early 20s run

out of the brush and we saw law enforcement in pursuit,” Rogers said. “The person tried to wave down a car but the car went past, a second car stopped and he jumped in.”

Law enforcement, according to Rogers then stopped the car, blocking in the driver who was just a lady passing

by on her way to town. The suspect got out of the car, a deputy drew his gun on the suspect but he got up and started running toward us (Rogers and the construction worker).

“He was literally running right at us coming from the north to the south, I heard someone yell, ‘tackle him,’” Rogers said. “I told the Subcom worker, ‘I’ll throw a cone at him and you tackle him.”

Rogers said he hit the suspect in mid-stride with the cone and the Subcom worker body slammed the suspect.

The two held the suspect on the ground a few seconds until law enforcement caught up.”

“It’s a good thing we caught the guy, because they were about 50-feet behind him,” Rogers said. “The first to get to us was a deputy, he’s a pretty buff guy so we were glad to see him.”

Everybody, the state police and sheriff deputies were very thankful, Joe added. “We were told the guy (allegedly) stole a car in Idaville earlier in the day and the state police and sheriff deputies tracked him to Tierra Del Mar by the afternoon and were in the process of apprehending the suspect.

“I throw cones all the time, who knew that I would have to ever use that skill set to help take down a criminal,” Rogers added.

Deputies want to acknowledge the members of the community that assisted in the location of Merrill as he ran through the Tierra Del Mar neighborhood.

In addition to the stolen vehicle, Deputies also located a bicycle which had been stolen from the Tierra Del Mar area.

The pick-up truck and the bicycle were returned to their rightful owners. Merrill was arrested on an outstanding warrant for Escape III and Resisting Arrest, and charges of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Escape III, Resisting Arrest, Theft 1, and Assault of a Public Safety Officer. All

CHAMBER CHATTER

Justin Aufdermauer Executive Director

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We need to humanize the homeless in our community The community of Tillamook is facing an increase in the homeless population.

Speaking from personal experience, people who are homeless are not well received by many. After an encounter in town, they are an afterthought.

The story to be told, once we return to our own home. They are seen, or possibly heard, but not to be acknowledged.

They are the ones at a light that you force yourself to not make eye contact with. These people carry a heavy and somewhat negative stigma.

As you go through your day, remember we are all human and being kind does not cost a thing. Smile at the man asking for money, help if you can or want to, but walk by with an understanding that they’re struggling too.

Because you have an education, because you can work

a trade, because you have financial stability, because you have or had family step up to help, because you can fight your demons, doesn’t mean others can or did. Homelessness is just a moments notice away for some, if not for the help they receive from others.

I know when things were horrible, the kindness I received saved my life. Not everyone is blessed to have the same.

After learning of the death of someone who passed away under a bridge, most likely alone, broke my heart. Their story was not an easy one, and whatever decisions were made that led them there resulted from pain. Some of us are stronger than our demons and some still battle theirs. We all struggle with something in our own lives, including being on the verge of homelessness. Some of those battles are shown and some are well hidden. How we handle these battles determines who we are and how we treat each other defines our character. Everyones choices are their own,

and you don’t have to accept or support it. But you can choose to be kind. We need to re-humanize this part of our community. They’re not a collective issue but just like you they have their own story.

They feel and they are hurting.

Our town is such an amazing community. One that gives back, fights fires, rallies together whenever our own is fighting for their life, and supports small businesses so we don’t lose them. She was, the same as all in our community- housed or not, one of us.

They need our help because dying under a bridge alone should not be acceptable. Not in our town. Our town has a limited amount of resources, which are used wisely. But as all resources they eventually run out. Unfortunately there is even less for those with psychological needs and while Tillamook works on this issue there should be grace given to all.

Weather Forecast

As we near the one-year anniversary of the very first state-wide shut down due to the global pandemic, the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce is looking to ensure the voice of the business community is heard. In short: businesses need to be allowed to open immediately within CDC recommended guidelines.

Our small business community is a vital component of Tillamook County. It is the very backbone of our culture, and it is what makes Tillamook such a unique place to live, work, and visit. Yet it is the small business community that has been unfairly targeted by regulations and closures from the Governor’s office over the last 11 months. Nearly every small business was forced to close at one time or another, and many have had to react on a moment-by-moment notice of whether they can operate or not. While our small business owners are resilient, and have done a remarkable job of holding on and rolling with the punches, many Tillamook County businesses are on the verge of letting go.

Those that have been able to continue operations have been extremely responsible and responsive to the COVID-19 guidelines coming from the state. The recent adoption of the Oregon OSHA Covid-19 Standard further means that Oregon workplaces are some of the safest and most sanitary places for customers and employees to be. And yet, public health officials have been clear that Covid-19 is spreading in Oregon for reasons unrelated to businesses being open. Locally, as of January 15, 2021, we have seen 357 positive and presumptive cases and two (2) deaths in all of Tillamook County since March 2020, according to the

Oregon Health Authority. Tillamook County has remained as the third lowest rate per 100,000 for several weeks, only behind Wheeler and Wallowa counties. Something has to give.

The Tillamook Chamber, in accordance with the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, believe all local businesses should be open in some capacity. Currently 26 counties sit under the Extreme Risk category which prohibits operation of indoor fitness (dance studios, YMCA, etc.) and entertainment (theater, museums, etc.) and any indoor dining at restaurants. This is a problem for all of rural Oregon, but especially here on the Oregon Coast where small business owners already face unique challenges that they must overcome to be successful during much of the year.

Last week, the Chamber submitted a letter to Mayor Burris and the Tillamook City Council asking them to collectively support the opening of businesses within the recommended CDC recommendations and submit public support to the Governor’s office, stating that small businesses should be allowed to reopen with the same considerations being granted the school districts; allow businesses to re-open in a manner that requires masks and physical distancing measures and frequent hand washing; and allow our small businesses to tackle the safety measures with the same spirit they used to carve out their etc.) pedophilia referendums that do not protect young lives, riots that destroy burn and kill, moving toward a socialistic government and many more topics that bring a depressive state to a person’s being. We feel that all of these negative things are bringing destruction to our country and personal freedoms. It is overwhelming and may leave us unsure of our future. These negative forces scream in our face.

These chaotic times challenge each one of us to look inside ourselves and ask some tough questions: “Can I? or Am I in control of my destiny and my family’s future?”

Good News! There is another story that is play-

niche in private enterprise.

The Tillamook Area Chamber Board of Directors and the City Council of Tillamook stand united in our commitment to continuing to do our part, within our authority, on behalf of safety and small businesses by encouraging every member of our community to follow the health and safety guidelines established by the CDC, OHA, and Tillamook County.

We are in no way advocating for the disregard of State mandates – we are requesting a change to reduce the Extreme Risk levels mandates to those of the High Risk category, which will allow all businesses to open in one form or another.

At the time this is published, Tillamook County may have received word that it will move down to the High Risk category, and while this is welcome news, this creates a lot of market volatility for small businesses as they have to be prepared to shut down as soon as two weeks later due to single digit positive case increases as we have seen recently in Clatsop County.

Our business community has made unparalleled sacrifices over the last 11 months to help the state fight the novel coronavirus.

The continued, seemingly never-ending, addition of more restrictions and closures from the Governor’s office on their shoulders is too great a burden for anyone to bear.

The weight of this pandemic cannot unnecessarily rest on a limited number of businesses.

Please continue to support Tillamook County businesses, now is the time to not only shop local, but to offer encouragement and let them know how much you appreciate their presence in our community. Your kind words may be the encouragement some of these businesses need to keep holding on. ing out while these things are happening.

Social media platforms have the potential for many benefits and life enhance-

ments. It can be a great way to stay connected with family and friends. When my kids were little, if I wanted my parents to see snapshots of them, I would have to make prints, handwrite a letter, put them in an envelope and mail them off. Now, photo sharing is instantaneous, so sending photos to parents, grandparents, friends, classmates, and whoever else you decide to share with, is just a click away. And let us not forget Zoom meetings and FaceTime on your phone. We are so connected…if we choose to be.

But it does not stop there.

You can learn new skills on the YouTube platform. You can network with others to get involved in civic engagement.

During the pandemic, some people have even learned to work from home using social platforms and other technology.

Unfortunately, there is the bad side of social media. It is addictive. It can easily misrepresent reality. It can create feelings of FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out. You or your children could run into cyberbullies. And unfortunately, social media sites provide tools that can create bad self-image issues. And despite what

anyone says, you can NEVER change anyone’s mind on any topic using social media…especially in the area of politics.

Plenty of people try, but I have never seen anyone succeed…so take my advice and do not even try!

In closing, I would like to impart this message. Social media itself is not bad…social media is not the problem. It is the way people, you and I included, use the platform that can turn a great innovation into something negative.

How about you and I make a pledge to find all the good ways to use social media in 2021? Who is with me?

It will show 2021 licenses and tags you have already purchased, if any, and give you more buying options.

Once you have made your purchases, all you need to do is remember to take your smartphone, loaded with the MyODFW app, with you on the morning you head out for your adventures.

Our eldest daughter and her husband came by for a quick visit and lunch on the deck last Saturday. We were careful to stay at a social distance, and we wore face coverings when we weren’t eating. The next day, our youngest daughter and her two girls came over for a

The Cape Meares Emergency Preparedness Task Force had two Zoom meetings this month. They discussed storing and accessing emergency supplies such as food, water, medical equipment, water filters, sanitation equipment, etc. They

Folks often walk Miller Street and Winnie would love to have others get involved, either with your ideas or even better, a little help with painting, etc… Once finished, families, retired folks or even tourists can go for a walk and perhaps rest along the way. When you see Winnie, be sure to chat with her about it. This could become a destination in our community.

December through March is mating season for coyotes.

Trust me, you never want to let your dog go outside alone through these months. A coyote will tease your dog to get your pup to play with him.

Then, as your doggy joins in the fun the pack, which has been in hiding, the others will attack and maybe kill your dog. As a side note, coyote breeding typically peaks in late February. This is when these fellas become much more aggressive. Cats, of course, are at great risk too.

We live right up against the woods. Please protect your pets always, but realize right now is much more dangerous.

Coyotes pose a great risk to our pets.

OBITUARIES Fritz William Marti April 15, 1929 - Jan. 15 2021

F

ritz William Marti, son to Henry and Martha Marti, was born on April 15, 1929 in Nehalem, Oregon. He was the youngest child in the family. His older siblings included Frieda, Albertina, Hank, and Katherine. He attended Nehalem High School completing the 9th grade. He then left school so that he could help out on the family farm when his brother Hank was deployed into World War II. Fritz was married to Ida Jean on April 4th, 1962 in Nehalem, Oregon.

Together they raised four children, Michael Jon, Lori Jean, Matthew Fritz, and Danni Lynn on the family farm. They were wonderful parents who instilled the value of hard work into their children. Fritz worked on the family farm from the time he could walk well into the golden years of his life. In 1990, his son Matthew took over the family farm, but Fritz remained as involved as possible. In recent years, Fritz could frequently be found spreading “liquid” in the fields, helping make silage, and running errands in Tillamook. He was a very hard-worker and enjoyed keeping himself busy. When he was not on the farm, he would spend his time calling friends and family on the phone or watching wrestling. In fact, wrestling was one of

the only things that would cause him to cut a phone call short. Sunsets were another favorite activity of his and he often watched them from the recliner in his front room. He was very popular with the hummingbirds who visited his house daily year-round.

During the spring and summer months, Fritz spent time planting and tending to his garden with his dear friend, Chrissy.

Fritz was known for his memory of past events and loved to share his endless funny stories and experiences from his life. He was a genuinely curious man who tried to understand the why and how of things.

Fritz was a friend to all that he came to know. Fritz passed away peacefully on the night of Jan. 15, 2021 surrounded by his family. The weeks prior to his passing were filled with laughter, stories, and visits from all the many friends and family that loved him deeply. Fritz is survived by his beloved dog, Lola; his four children and their partners, Michael and wife Jayne, Lori and partner Darryl, Matthew and wife Joan, Danni and husband Jim; his five grandchildren, Jade and her husband Aaron, Jacob, Emilie, Connor, and Veronica. Preceded in death by his parents, siblings, daughter-in-law Katy Okuma White, and wife Ida Jean Marti. A Celebration of Life for Fritz will be held over the summer. The date has not yet been determined. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Fritz’s honor to The Pixie Project where he rescued his beloved dog, Lola. 510 NE MLK Blvd., Portland, OR, 97232.

Wauds Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY WELLNESS

Believe me, it’s easier if you catch it early

Paul Fournier Storm Rock Creative

Mark Wiegardt isn’t the kind of man to complain much. Owner of Pearl Point Oyster in Netarts, Oregon, and a fourth-generation oysterman, Mark knows something about hard work, integrity and the importance of family. But, like many people, practicing self-care often takes a back seat to the responsibility of being a father, husband, and hard worker. Every once in awhile, we need to slow down some, and check in on our own health - both physically and mentally. Arguably, Mark was reminded of this life-lesson the hard way.

In late 2017, Mark ex-

perienced persistent fatigue and weight loss. “I thought, maybe I was just getting old. Working on the bay, in the oyster business is tough work, so you expect to be fatigued…,” Mark trails off as he recounts the events leading up to a discovery that has forever altered his life - and the life of those who care about him.

“I was losing weight, but it was over time so I didn’t really notice it, others did, but I didn’t. Until one day shaving, I saw it in the mirror.” Yet, Mark continued to procrastinate about getting checked out by a doctor.

It was when Mark was visiting friends in southern Oregon, that things finally came to a head. “I had a re-

ally good friend that finally convinced me I needed to get checked out, really checked out. I reluctantly caved in.”

Mark went to the local hospital and got an endoscopy and colonoscopy. “When I woke up, I’ll never forget it, the nurses wouldn’t look at me.

Something was really wrong.”

The doctor told Mark they had found a stage 4 cancerous mass in his colon. “I told him to get it out of me.” Following surgery, Mark was going to require a regimen of chemotherapy, but his prognosis was still pretty grim. “You start asking questions, like, ‘are we going to be able to fix this? What’s the probable outcome of all this.”

“They actually gave me four to six months to live.”

Mark began the fight of his life. Although chemotherapy took its toll, he was luckier than some. It would knock him down for a few days after treatment, but Mark was able to work and soon, the weight came back. Looking at Mark then, it was hard to tell he was battling cancer. Still, in 2018, doctors gave him a one in ten

chance of surviving a year.

Mark sought guidance from his father.

“He says, ‘Mark you gotta make it.’ And I said what do you mean dad? And he said, ‘You gotta make it to give other people hope. And I thought about that, and I said, yeah, I gotta punch through on this, and let people know that you can survive it.”

Mark pauses and consider his words. “But, it’s just a lot easier if you catch it early.”

Today, Mark cherishes every day he has to spend with family and friends, and he still enjoys working out on the mudflats of Netarts Bay. “Listen, it’s sort of like going to get your teeth cleaned. No one likes to go to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned because you always find something wrong. But, believe me, if there’s something wrong in your colon and it’s cancer, you want to catch it.”

Mark wanted to share his story so that it might encourage others who are reluctant to get screened for colorectal cancer. “If you don’t think it’s such a big deal for yourself,

Chicken Soup with Tortilla Number of Servings: 12 cups Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Ingredients - 2 teaspoons oil - 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium) - 2 cloves garlic, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 can (16 ounces) navy beans - 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes - 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) fat-free chicken broth (see notes) - 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce - 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies - 2 teaspoons dried oregano - 2 cups chopped cooked chicken - 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro - 1 cup shredded cheese - 10 thin corn tortillas

Mark Wiegardt do it for your family and your friends. Do it for them. Because I guarantee you, if you get diagnosed with it, you are going to see some people that are going to be pretty darn worried about you.”

If you are aged 50-75, and have not been screened for colorectal cancer, or if you have a family history,

please contact your healthcare provider today to learn more about screening options.

Notes • Broth can be canned or made using bouillon. For each cup of broth use 1 cup very hot water and 1 teaspoon or 1 cube bouillon.

DON’T YOU WANT TO TAKE ME HOME?

Remember me? My name is Mya. All of my Magnificent Seven babies have been adopted. Now it’s my turn. I’m a friendly, playful, sweet natured gal that enjoys the company of humans, but other cats irritate me. I get cranky & hissy. I’d really prefer to be an only pet. Then you’ll find that I’m not timid and I acclimate quickly. I adore having humans pet my silky soft fur and I allow gentle belly strokes I also love being held. I’m not a lap cat yet, but, with a little practice, I’ll catch on. I’m sometimes a goofy girl! I get the “zoomies” and entertain myself throughout the day with a simple feather toy, fuzzy mice and a shoe string. A sisal robe scratching post will be well used. I often found sitting in the window watching bird TV. Humbly speaking, I’m beautiful, soft and just awesome. My babies and I just survived a case of kitty parvo, so that’s one thing you’ll never have to worry about Here’s the online adoption app if you’re interested. https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/online-adoption-application/ Adoption fees range from $75-100. United Paws is not a shelter, and most of our cats and kittens are in foster homes getting ready to be in your home!

Visit our facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/unitedpaws.

Watch for adoption events held in Tillamook, and Petsmart on 185th in Hillsboro.
