Rockslide occurs at Oceanside tunnel A

rockslide occurred at 10:45 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, at the south opening of the Oceanside Tunnel, partially blocking access. Netarts-Oceanside Fire District and Tillamook Ambulance were dispatched to rescue individuals who were potentially trapped. According to the fire district, upon arrival it was determined that there were parties trapped on the north side of the tunnel with an incoming tide that would need assistance. Fire district personnel devised a plan bringing those individuals out of the south opening which was now approximately 3 feet in diameter. Victims were removed safely, one by one to the Oceanside beach with the removal taking approximately 25 minutes. No word from the fire agency as Dec. 5 of how many people had been rescued, who they are or their conditions. Oregon State Parks representative closed the tunnel access until further notice. No details have been released about what caused the slide. First responders urge beachgoers to be extremely careful when venturing along the beaches, in tunnels and bank sides.

he Tillamook County Board of Commissioners agreed during a board meeting Wednesday, Dec. 2, to reopen certain county offices to the public by appointment only, as they were before the governor’s two-week freeze. Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty said on Nov. 17, the board signed an order closing certain Tillamook County offices. If the county lets their current order expire, county offices will reopen to the public by appointment only. “Under order 20-023, which was signed by the board of May 22, county offices will reopen to the public by appointment only,” Hagerty said. “That began before on June 8.” Commission Chair Bill Baertlein said the county still has OSHA guidelines to follow. “We’re still proceeding with all OSHA guidelines, Oregon Health Authority guidelines, as well as the new county risk assessment plan the governor’s office has come out with,” said Joel Stevens, Tillamook County Counsel. Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said the county has cautious guidelines in place by having people do business with the county by appointment only. Every other organization can be open under moderate risk, with restrictions, she added. “I’m really grateful to the governor’s office for these new guidelines because they’re based on science, they’re detailed and they’re specific to each county and where we’re at,” Bell said. Commissioner David Yamamoto said the county was very cautious regarding COVID-19 beginning in March. The people of Tillamook County have taken this seriously, he added. He expressed concern over employees. Baertlein said he has concerns about employees too but at this point, he said their best efforts are to go back to where they were two week ago and be open by appointment only, letting the order expire. Commission-elect Erin Skaar said the county shut things down prior to other counties, and shut some things down that those other county never did. The ‘moderate risk’ category the county is currently in encourages the county to have employees work from home as much as possible. The commissioners agreed to let the order expire, allowing county offices to reopen by appointment only. Send comments to: headlightreporter@countrymedia.net

Amid COVID-19 surge, Oregon expects vaccine shipments in the coming weeks Max Kirkendall newsguardeditor@ countrymedia.net

The State of Oregon continues to set new records in COVID-19 infections with over 2,100 new cases and 30

deaths today, Dec. 4. However, in the midst of the recent surge, Governor Kate Brown said “hope is one the way,” as Oregon is expecting its first shipment of a COVID-19 vaccine this month.

This week, Oregon’s statewide two-week freeze ended and the new ‘Risk and Safety’ framework was launched. The framework showed the majority of the state has moved into the extreme risk level, which means the virus is still widespread across 25 counties who remain under tight restrictions. “We are not out of this crisis yet. I know it’s hard to imagine, but in fact, our hardest days still lie ahead,” Gov. Brown said during a press conference Friday. “Oregon hospitals are filling up and many are reducing elective surgeries.” Oregon’s death toll surpassed 1,000 this week since the onset of the pandemic and for four straight days, the state recorded double-digit deaths. “Every death represents and empty seat at a holiday dinner, a warm hug that’s missed, a winter morning walk that cannot happen… and we mourn every one of them,” Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Pat Allen said. Although the OHA modeling for the coming weeks looks grim, Gov. Brown an-nounced that two vaccines are currently awaiting final United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. The two vaccines from pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Moderna, are expected to be shipped to Oregon Dec. 15. Gov. Brown said they expect to receive 35,000 doses from Pfizer Dec. 15, followed by over 70,000

doses from Moderna on Dec. 22. A second shipment of the Pfizer vac-cine is expected Dec. 22, with 40,950 doses. Oregon anticipates having 147,000 first doses of both vaccines in December and expects an additional 87,000 of Pfiz-er’s and 31,000 Moderna’s vaccine Dec. 29 to provide a second dose to patients who received the first dose. These numbers are subject to change. The Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup will be reviewing and con-firming each FDA approval starting next week. “It’s remarkable that scientific strides have enabled us to get a vaccine in just mere months into this historic pandemic,” Gov. Brown said. “Rigorous clinical trials have not only worked to ensure the vaccines are safe, but that they are safe for our vul-nerable and diverse communities.” Health official said the Pfizer vaccine was found to be 95 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 and the Moderna vaccine was found to be 94.5 percent effective. By comparison, Rachael Banks, OHA Public Health Division Director, said the flu vaccine is 40-60 percent effective among the overall population. “I must admit, when we first, as a nation, started talking about vaccine development, I did not think we’d be looking at a 95 percent effective rate,” Banks said. “While we know that all vaccines may cause some side effects for people, in this case, about one in ten people who take the COVID-19 vaccines may experience some mild side effects. These common side effects include pain, swelling or redness where the shot was given, mild fever, chills, feeling tired, headache and muscle aches.” Health officials have also learned that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is 100 percent effective against severe cases.

Among the small population who received that vac-cine, none of the cases progressed to a severe case that needed to be hospitalized. In line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, priority will be given to frontline healthcare workers and long-term care residents and employees as the first group to receive the vaccine. All Oregonians in these settings will have the opportunity to be vaccinated by the end of January 2021, Gov. Brown said. According to Allen, the second wave of people who will likely get the vaccine are essential workers, individuals with health issues and adults 65 and older. However, that is unlikely to occur until several months from now, he says. “The introduction of a vaccine, however, doesn’t end this pandemic,” Gov. Brown said. “Right now, and into the foreseeable future, the only ways to reduce trans-mission and slow the spread is to take safety precautions until the vaccine is both widely available and widely administered. And this is going to take time. “I know these are the vaccines we have all been waiting for and as we work across Oregon and the entire country to get them widely distributed, I am asking you all to buckle down for just a little bit longer. We can finally see a light at the end of this tunnel, but we are certainly not there yet.” OHA Modeling Since mid-November, OHA has reported over 1,000 new cases per day all but twice. With case tallies from Thanksgiving weekend just now starting to trickle in, case totals are expected to increase significantly in December. The day Oregon’s twoweek ‘freeze’ began, Banks said the virus transmission rate was at 1.25, meaning each person who became

infected with the virus was spread-ing it to more than one other person on average. With that transmission rate, OHA’s modeling for Dec. 11-24 predicts infections in 660 individuals per 100,000, which translates to an average of over 2,000 cases and 75 severe cases per day. The modeling does not include a potential spike in transmission rates that could be caused by Thanksgiving weekend. If the transmission rate increases, Oregon could have 920 cases per 100,000 people, meaning Oregon would have 2,700 new cases per day and severe cases would increase to 110 per day. “It’s too soon to say how the Thanksgiving holiday affected our transmission rates and you may be wondering did the protections Gov. Brown put into place through the freeze offset the increase in cases due to holiday gatherings? Or did the holiday add more fuel to the surge that’s happening across the country as people spend more time indoors together? It’s too soon to definitively say,” Banks said. Despite the surge, Gov. Brown said surveys and data regarding face covering use, transportation statistics and more show that many Oregonians are following the safety guidelines set by the state. Data showed that more than 84 percent of Ore-gonians are wearing a face covering on a regular basis. “To every one of you that continues to make smart choices and follow our public health recommendations that help stop the disease from spreading further, thank you,” Gov. Brown said. “You are helping protect our doctors, nurses, grocery store employees, postal workers, agricultural workers and the many others who we count on to keep society going during the pandemic.”

State Budget: Gov. Kate Brown releases recommended budget, policies for 2021-23 Monique Merrill Country Media

Gov. Kate Brown released her recommended budget and policy agenda for the 2021-23 biennium on Tuesday, which focuses on addressing and ending systemic racial disparities, responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuilding communities affected by the wild-fires. “I believe the first step in creating opportunity is recognizing that racism is endemic to our systems, impacting every part of our culture and economy,” Brown said in a press confer-ence addressing the budget Wednesday, Dec. 1. Brown convened the Racial Justice Council this year to help advise her priorities and root policies in equity. A focus on criminal justice reform is also guiding the upcoming closures of three of the states 16 prisons. Mill Creek in Salem is slated to close at the start of July next year, six months later Shutter Creek in Coos Bay will close and six months after that Warner Creek in Lakeview will close. “My plan for the future of

our prison system is that the state will no longer invest in ex-tensive and expensive buildings, but invest in people,” Brown said. The ongoing impacts of the pandemic are felt through the budget as well, and Brown said there were challenges in creating the plan. “Let me be very, very clear: The budget does not put enough money into our schools and doesn’t make the investments in public health we need,” she said. “It is a budget built on sacrifice and hard choices.” The Oregon Health Authority estimates $252 million in resources will be needed to re-spond to the COVID-19 pandemic over the next six months, Brown said. An additional $433 million is expected to be needed for July through December of 2021. Brown called for a federal stimulus plan to help address the needs of Oregonians, includ-ing $350 million for rent forgiveness and mortgage relief, the continuation of $600 Feder-al Pandemic Unemployment Insurance for people laid off during COVID-19 closures, a re-

newed Paycheck Protection Program, increased funding for schools and childcare, among other asks. “What I think is really important is that Republicans and Democrats in Washington D.C. put aside their political differences and put the American people first,” Brown said. “That means working together and solving problems.” At a glance Housing and homelessness -$4.5 million investment to support youth aging our of foster care and facing homeless-ness - $20 million investment for homeowner assistance, including down payment assistent - $2 million to fund a technical assistance program through Oregon Housing and Commu-nity Services for outreach to communities of color - $2.3 million expansion of the Agricultural Workforce Housing Tax Credit for

The Oregon Health Plan faces a budget gap of $718 million due to the pandemic, and the budget has faced criticism from the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. “The Governor’s budget reflects her priorities and choices. She has chosen to propose di-rect cuts to hospitals in the midst of the biggest public health crisis in a century,” said Becky

Health care -$17.9 million for a range of strategies to protect as-

Hultberg, President and CEO of OAHHS. “Cuts of this magnitude could force hospi-tals to reduce services to Oregonians during a pandemic. These cuts cannot be justified.” In the press conference, Brown responded to the criticism and said the budget was a starting point and that she plans to work with hospitals to ensure the state has the resources to provide continued care. A challenge of putting the budget together was the un-certainty of not knowing

what federal aid the state would be receiving, Brown said. “This is a really challenging time for our healthcare system. I’m hoping over the next few months we can come together to come up with a package that will sustain funding for the Oregon Health Plan,” Brown said.

The Oregon Legislative Emergency Board has approved more than $128 million to help Oregonians impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The approval includes funding for childcare providers, Oregonians in need of shelter, small businesses, long-term care providers and victims of domestic and sexual violence. “This funding comes at a critical time as COVID-19 cases continue to spike in Oregon,” Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek said. “As winter approaches, it’s particularly important we passed additional funding to help people without permanent housing. We’ve been facing a statewide shelter emergency for some time and the pandemic has made the situation even more dire. We have a lot of work ahead of us to solve this emergency but it’s an important step.” During its Monday, Nov. 9 meeting in Salem, the state emergency board approved $35 million from the Oregon’s Emergency Fund to support the Project Turnkey Statewide Pandemic and Homelessness Response. The Oregon Community Foundation will use funding to support the acquisition, retrofitting and potential operation of hotel and motel properties to be used as emergency shelter. The funding is in addition to $30 million the Emergency Board approved on Oct. 23 to begin Project Turnkey in wildfire-affected areas. The E Board also approved the following allocations from the state’s share of federal funds available through the Coronavirus Relief Fund: • $45 million for Childcare Provider Assistance to support the increased costs facing childcare providers facing economic and operational challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. • $20 million for a third grant to the Oregon Community Foundation for the Oregon Worker Relief Fund, which will make additional payments to workers who are ineligible for wage replacement payments from traditional unemployment insurance programs. • $20 million to provide additional financial assistance

The role of cows in climate where it can remain for a thousand years. The warming impact of methane is not determined by how much is being emitted— since it’s destroyed relatively quickly—but by how much more or less methane is being emitted over a period of time. After 12 years, methane is converted into CO2 again, taken up by the grass, corn, alfalfa and recycled back through the biological system we call the dairy cow. The amount of methane emitted can equal the amount destroyed in the atmosphere. While the impact might not be as significant as many presumed, the dairy industry is still working to reduce rumen methane contributions. New tools such as feed additives and digesters could decrease the amount of methane produced and even create a short-term cooling effect. If you’d like to learn more about the role methane plays in climate change, check out Rethinking Methane at: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UOPrF8oyDYw

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I support Misty Wharton Regarding the letter concerning the Nestucca Valley School District, I applaud Misty Wharton and the board for trying to keep our school and community as safe from COVID-19 as possible. It is asking so little for people to wear a mask when near another person. I do not have grandchildren at Nestucca, but I am so grateful the schools they do go to are following the same guidelines as Nestucca. I have lost loved ones when it could not be avoided and wearing a mask is a small inconvenience to put someone

at risk of a long term illness or a painful death from this horrible disease. PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASK. Mary Lasley Cloverdale

Facebook still trying to figure out what went wrong Facebook subcontractors have been conducting a high tech review of what went wrong earlier this year in its on ongoing industrial level drilling project on lot 3200 in Tierra Del Mar. Facebook’s

wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Cable, revealed it has conducted additional survey work using: “ ... Electric Resistivity (ER) and Sub-Bottom Profiler (SBP). The Electric Resistivity was acquired using ground cables which lay across the ground and seafloor with exposed electrodes every 4m with a total of 56 electrodes. The method used to acquire the data was the Strong Gradient Method /// The SBP was acquired with a Bubble Pulser source utilizing the Single Channel Seismic (SCS) record technique.” Further, Facebook/Edge Cable acknowledged this survey “ … detected a pos-

ows receive a lot of attention in climate change discussions because one of the greenhouse gases they produce in the rumen is methane. Progress in our understanding of greenhouses gases, however, may provide new perspective on the role methane—and livestock— play in global warming and cooling. There are three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (NO2) and methane (CH4). According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. dairy industry accounts for approximately 1.4% of total U.S emissions. While some older studies claim agriculture is responsible for a greater percentage of emissions, many have been found to be misleading because of the way they were calculated. Others go beyond the U.S. to look at global agricultural emissions, which represent a much higher percent of total emissions. Why the difference in U.S. and global estimates? For one, the livestock industry in the U.S. is much more efficient than the rest of the world. We need fewer animals to produce a gallon of milk or pound of meat. We also consume fossil fuels at a much higher rate than many parts of the world, which changes the percent contributions. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a warming sible sandstone or basaltic geologic formation approximately halfway into the drill path.” Facebook admitted, however, “ …The mineral composition, hardness and depth of the formation is not yet fully defined.” Facebook plans to return to the drilling site to conduct additional survey work in January. Facebook’s drilling project came to an abrupt halt in April when the drill broke causing industrial trash to be abandoned below the sea floor. It is not known why Facebook failed to conduct this survey work before its initial attempt to drill a bore hole in Tierra Del Mar earlier this year. Ed Ruttledge Tierra Del Mar

potential more than 28 times that of CO2. Often authors criticize the livestock industry because of this potential. However, when it comes to livestock and climate change, several researchers are questioning the comparison and are changing the way we look at methane from cows. Dr. Frank Mitloehner, an air quality specialist from UC Davis has highlighted why we need to look at methane from cows differently than we used to. He argues many other characteristics set methane apart from CO2. For starters, methane stays in our atmosphere for about 12 years before returning to the atmosphere as CO2. At that point, 80-89 percent of methane is removed by oxidation with hydroxyl radicals. As a result, methane is only significantly warming our atmosphere for those 12 years, making it a short-lived climate pollutant. As methane is being emitted it is also being destroyed in the atmosphere. This is very different from CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a stock gas, which means it builds up in the atmosphere

TALES FROM THE LIBRARY Bill Landau Extension Librarian Tillamook County Library

EWS FLASH! The Tillamook County Libraries are open again for Library Express…brief, 15-minute visits so you can browse the stacks. Or, if you prefer, you can still utilize curbside pickup by calling your library. Curbside or inside…YOU decide! What film do you JUST HAVE to watch to get into the holiday spirit? Are you the type who only wants to laugh at the crazy slapstick antics of Will Ferrell in Elf? Or are you looking to watch a heart-warming movie like It’s a Wonderful Life? Animated? Clayma-

tion? Muppets? So many choices! The staff of the Tillamook County Library would like to help you out with their suggestions of seasonal favorites. Our library staff definitely has their own Christmas preferences! Some are traditional, some are unexpected, but they are ALL available for checkout at the Tillamook County Library. Judy’s favorite is the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street. She said, “Edmund Gwynn played the best Santa Claus ever and Natalie Wood was mesmerizing as Susan. I watch it every year. It’s such a wholesome, heartwarming, and feel-good movie.” Norma, from the Garibaldi Library, loves to

watch the classic Nutcracker Ballet annually to get in the spirit. Another “oldie” was recommended by Valerie, our new librarian at Manzanita. “White Christmas is a family favorite. I grew up watching it every year with my parents and it has become a tradition with my own family as well. The songs (which I know by heart), the comedy, and the

heartfelt feeling of the whole show gets my holidays off to a great start.” And then there are the “kids at heart”, including myself. My all-time favorite is A Charlie Brown Christmas and every time I watch it, I am transported back MANY decades, remembering how I would wait for it every year on network TV, complete with advertisements from Dolly Madison cupcakes! Remember those? Bookmobile-driver Jessica obviously prefers favorites from her childhood! Her long list includes a mixture of Claymation and animation including Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, The Little Drummer Boy, Frosty

the Snowman, and Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Marilyn from the Main Library backs those selections up with The Muppet Christmas Carol, which is also high up on my list! Another Christmas classic, this one recommended by Lora from Tillamook, is the Home Alone movie featuring a young Macaulay Culkin, playing the part of Kevin. Lora says, “Kevin’s Rube Goldberg-like pranks and the slapstick of the Wet Bandits just get me every time!” In the same vein, Will Ferrell’s Elf film is Sally’s must-watch of the holiday season, and I could not agree more. Sally works at the library in Pacific City and her cohort Courtney has chosen

a fun, romantic comedy called While You Were Sleeping. Courtney says, “It’s not a Christmas movie, but it features a Christmas party and I always associate it with the holidays.” Reference Librarian, Angela, achieves the holiday mood by watching the Thin Man movies featuring William Powell and Myrna Loy. Children’s Librarian, Melanie, picks Fiddler on the Roof as her musical go-to of the season. Matthew from Rockaway would like to suggest you try The Ice Harvest this Christmas season. There you go!

their products. They are high quality and I have never been disappointed. Sad when they left, I now shop online from a cata-log they mail regularly. A new catalog I received this year is one from Garrett Wade (www.garrettwade. com). It is a very general tool catalog and I almost tossed it away but I noticed as I leafed through it that they have some very nice, high quality pruning tools. They have a professional-grade pruning saw that I may put on my list to Santa. It is almost 15 inches long and has a closed handle to protect your hands. The blades have tri-grind Japanese-style teeth. Made in the United States, I can see this saw doing a quick job on almost anything I might need a pruning saw for. This one is $58, plus shipping, but there is a larger and a smaller version. Garrett Wade also has a ratcheting hand pruner for $23.50, or for $29.95 with a leather case for your belt. These look pretty handy for those branches that are just a

little too big for normal pruners. I can’t personally vouch for this company, but they have great reviews and have been around for 45 years. They also offer free 90-day returns. My last gift idea comes from my friend Marty who ordered a lovely personalized garden slate from www. Paintedgardenva.com. They have a wide variety of slates and can include paintings of your favorite flower or pet along with names or welcome greetings. This may take a little while since they are all hand created, so get that order in as soon as you can. The nice thing about online shopping is that you can have your gift shipped directly to friends and relatives. This results in safe “no contact gift delivery” on your part. Don’t forget to add some things on your list to Santa while you are shopping for others. You have earned some-thing special for yourself this year!

(NVSD) and feel fortunate to have Misty Wharton as Superintendent and as a committed educator and member of our community. I (Mark), during 24 years teaching at Nestucca High School, knew Misty as a student, fellow teacher, and principal of our elementary school. As a teacher, I wit-

nessed her creative instruction style and commitment to students. Students respected her and were engaged and stimulated in her classes. She was involved in many extra-curricular activities, too, demonstrating her support of students beyond the classroom. I (Kim), in 15 years bringing Art Literacy to Nestucca Valley Elementary School, worked regularly with Principal Misty on coordinating art curriculum. She was enthusiastic and supportive of the program, making it a school priority. She respected and encouraged kids’ creativity. With all students, even those struggling with behavior issues, I witnessed her patience, kindness, and generosity. We volunteered on a committee supporting the recent bond measure for NVSD building improvements. Misty worked tirelessly on the project, explaining the need and plan and responding to questions from a variety of community groups. We support her leadership and vision and look forward to a facility that will help our commu-

GARDENING MATTERS

ince Thanksgiving was so late this year, and since this has been a very strange year for shop-ping, most of Gift Guide Part 1 for 2020 will be for gifts you can find online and that can be easily shipped. The second part of the Gift Guide will be published very close to Christmas, so those gifts will be ones you can find – and give – locally. So much to think about! I always seem to start with catalogs from Gardeners’ Supply because they always have so many useful

gardening gifts. Easily found at www.gardeners.com, I can guarantee you will find something for your garden enthusiast. From tools and supplies for raised beds and vegetable gardens to birding and items for senior gardeners, the reasonably priced items are sure to please. But there is a lot more for those who aren’t serious gardeners. Let’s start with the extensive selection of amaryllis offered this year. From the Amaryllis ‘Rose Cybister’ with its spikey petals to the more traditional A. ‘Monaco’

pending on the size and type of pot in-cluded. Gardeners’ Supply also has a wide range of potted blooming flowers that include azal-eas, tulips, and evergreen table-top trees that can be planted outside after the holidays. Ship-ping is pretty reasonable and if you spend $99 or more, shipping is free, but don’t wait to send in your order as these tend to sell out quickly. Kinsman Company (www. kinsmangarden.com) has a lovely array of gifts for the garden devo-tee this year as well. From charming glass wind chimes that are shaped like jelly fish to soaps and hand creams from Kew Gardens in London, there are lots of things that will please the gardeners on your shopping list. One of my favorite gifts from Kinsman is their “Posey Pots.” These are small (6” wide by about 2” tall), orb-shaped ceramic pots with a variety of holes in the top that will hold small stems or branches of flowers. The large hole in the center is for adding water or for larger stems. They make an instant arrangement for a centerpiece or bed-side. These are less than $20 each and come in 4 colors. Also from Kinsman are hand-blown art glass terrariums for showcasing shells, sea glass, air plants or wherever your imagination leads you. The round-bowl terrariums are about 7” in di-ameter with a 4” opening at the top to place your treasures. They are swirled with cobalt or teal blues and would be charming to be filled by the gift-or or the gift-ee. These are only $32.95, plus shipping. As an aside, Kinsman used to have a warehouse on Third Street in Tillamook, near the Fair-grounds. That’s where I first learned of them and started buying

During this pandemic when students cannot safely be at school, the district, under Misty’s leadership, provides for the education of students while also helping with their nutritional needs. District employees providing food service are exposed to many people outside their personal households. It’s important for recipient family members to protect the safety of food deliverers by wearing a mask during delivery. It’s a simple, respectful, loving thing to do. Misty Wharton was born and raised in this community and has a long-term commitment to its health and well-being. We are fortunate to have her as District Superintendent, a position that requires extraordinary energy and long hours, many that go unseen by most of us. We are grateful to Misty for taking on this huge responsibility. She has earned and deserves our support. Mark and Kim Cavatorta Hebo

Context, Clarification, and Forgiveness I am disheartened by the context in which a paragraph out of a recent Chamber Chatter was taken by Bruce Deloria. The article in question was intended to reaffirm that Tillamook County residents are doing a great job combating Covid-19 and we’ve helped our restaurants survive once and let’s do it again. I did, in fact, make the comment that I believe the state “got it wrong” when they an-nounced a statewide freeze less than 48 hours after announcing a county-by-county freeze on No-vember 11th, 2020. Here is my statement from the article: “I’ll just be real with you: it’s a bummer that we’re back here and the State got this call wrong. You have done a great job through Covid-19, Tillamook County, and there is no reason for us to bear the brunt of other regions problems. Yet, as I write this frustrated and disappointed by this move, I am reminded that we have done it before and survived, and we will do it again.” While we have seen a slow upward trend of positive cases in Tillamook County, we entered the statewide freeze with the third lowest positivity rate in the state and came out of it as the second lowest (per hundred thousand) just two weeks later. Yet restaurants, museums, dance studios and fitness centers were all shut down for a second time. As a result, Tillamook County remains one of just six counties in the low and moderate risk tiers of the new guidance documents from the state. I stand by my statement that the call to go statewide so quickly was an error in judgment and un-necessary, not to be confused with not taking safety measures in general. I

she married her husband Bert and life even-tually led them to Tillamook where they owned two different restaurants, Coastway and then later The Sands. She was known locally for her good home cooking and friendly and generous spirit. After she retired, she enjoyed walking on the beach and around Tillamook enjoying all that na-ture had to offer. Later in life she enjoyed watching her great grandson play soccer, enjoying a meal out and reading. She was preceded in death by her husband Bert, her parents and broth-er. She is survived by family and friends who loved her. She is to be cremated and because of her love of the beach her ashes will be scattered there at a later date. Matthew 11:28 – ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and I will give you rest.’

believe we are all well aware at this time in our history that even those elected to represent us can get it wrong – we are all human. What concerns me the most about the context of Mr. Deloria’s letter is what seems to be a gross misunderstanding of efforts in my capacity as Executive Director of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce. At no time have I implied that we should “let our guard down” or take action that would imply that. Quite the contrary actually – the Chamber has sent over two dozen emails to local businesses and organizations to keep them comprised of new and changing regulations and funding opportunities as well as assisting businesses daily who have questions. The Chamber con-tinues to distribute PPE to help local businesses comply with state guidance, and has also hosted many events while I oversee compliance with the guidance at the time of the event. I want noth-ing more than for our community to stay healthy so that our businesses can thrive, and children can stay in school once they go back. We are truly in this together and I am grateful that under the new guidance we have control over the regulations of our county. Our actions, not opinions, will form our future. Lastly, Mr. Deloria, you sent me an incendiary email earlier last week and I encouraged you to call me directly so that we could have a respectful dialogue. I’m sorry you didn’t take me up on that offer. You stated in your letter that those who do not agree with you or the state elected officials are the “impertinent and uneducated among us.” I hope you reflect on that statement and come to a more kind and understanding approach in the future. I forgive you for being unkind, Bruce – I hope you can also forgive me for the aforementioned misunderstandings. I do believe that is the beginning of finding any solution. Justin Aufdermauer Tillamook

Response to, “AN OPEN LETTER TO Tillamook’s Chamber of Commerce Executive Director In response to the open letter from Bruce DeLoria, Tillamook. (Headlight Herald 12-2-20) It is sad that Mr. DeLoria considers elected government officials as being ‘God-like” and above criticism by their subjects. While I do not have a dog in the fight, that is, I am neither a member of the Chamber of Commerce nor a local business owner, I do applaud the Chamber of Commerce for what they do in support of our local businesses. I am of the opinion that Governor Brown has overstepped her authority as governor by shut-ting down businesses throughout Oregon. Tillamook County businesses are in crisis because of the governor’s shutdown. Many may never reopen. Our government has elected to sacrifice local businesses, rather than seek a reasonable solution to the

Marvin L. Evans 1931 - Nov. 1, 2020

arvin L. Evans of Vancouver, WA passed away peacefully Sunday, November 1 at the age of 89. Marv was born March 16, 1931 in Hubbard, OR to Melvin and Bertha Evans. The family later moved to Portland, where he graduated from Franklin High School in 1949 He served in the Air Force as an M.P. before enrolling at Lewis and Clark College, from which he earned a B.S. in English and journalism in 1954 While there, he met Rojean Stivers and they married upon his graduation. They had two children, Matt and Meg. Marv began his career in public education as a teacher in the David Douglas School District and held positions there as counselor, vice principal, and Director of Curriculum In 1961 he earned a M.Ed. from the University of Oregon followed by a D. Ed. from U.O. in school administration and secondary education in 1968. He was promoted to Assistant Superintendent at David Doug-las that same year. In 1965 Marv and Rojean Covid-19 pandemic. I remind Mr. DeLoria that this is a republic in which we elect a president, members of con-gress, a governor, state and local officials to represent WE THE PEOPLE. They work for us. WE are their boss. Not as you see it. You are responsible as a citizen of our republic to care for yourself, to reach logical decisions for your own welfare and the welfare of your family. If that means to isolate yourself and have no contact with anyone else, that should be your decision, not the governor’s. Carey Jackson Huckaba Netarts

Gas has always been high in Tillamook Several letters to the editor have been complaining about gas prices in Tillamook. Gas prices in Tillamook have always been high and long before Fred Meyer came here. The last time I remember cheap gas in Tillamook was during the gas wars in the 60’s. Don’t know what knowledge the previous letter writers have of the fuel business, but I have a little being a transport dispatcher and transport driver. Unless it’s different here, which I doubt, fuel delivery isn’t charged by the mile but by the gallons delivered. A colleague delivers to Newport, Waldport and Lincoln City. Lincoln City loads usually come out of Portland. Waldport and Newport loads come out of either Eugene or Portland depending on the better price. Vendors request bids for gas and diesel from available transport companies. A one cent per gallon difference might win the bid. Transport companies purchase gas from processors the same way. In some cases, hauling out of Portland might

bought a vacation home in Neskowin, OR with three other couples. This second family, the Beach Bunch, enjoyed many weekends and vacations together at the coast. In 1971 Marv began a string of Superintendencies at school districts in Albany (1971-77), Lake Oswego, (1977-80), McMinnville (1981-82), Richland, WA (1982-86), and Klamath County (1986-91). He was a staunch advocate for prioritizing the needs of children and developed a reputation for sound fiscal management and collaborative problemsolving. After retiring from Klamath County he served as an interim superintendent in many school districts across the Northwest. It was while he was at Richland that he met and married Patricia Gardiner. Pat introduced him to fishing, which became his passion in retirement. They spent many happy years at the coast living in Garibaldi. Marv is survived by his wife Pat (Gardiner) Evans, children Matt (Sharon) Evans, Meg (Jeff) Johnson, Jeff (Kathryn) Gardiner, Katie (Greg) Gardiner, Rob (Traci) Gardiner, 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Our company buys fuel in bulk from processors thereby getting a much lower price which in turn dictates our profit margin. If you buy fuel by the truck load you pay more. Profit margins in the fuel business are counted in pennies. Transport companies might make $500 on a load of 10,000 gallons. From that subtract driver wages, insurance, fuel and maintenance costs. A vendor lists their price adding a few cents to each gallon to cover their costs. Most service stations don’t make their money from selling gas. If a full-service station, their profit comes

Carolyn Mapuana Evenson Jan. 30, 1953 - Nov. 18, 2020

arolyn Mapuana Evenson passed Nov18-2020 at 11:30 am within hospice at Providence Hospital in Portland. She was 67 years old. She spent seven days in ICU and six in hospice, got extended visits with all her children, grandchildren and ohana children she picked up along the way of life. We spoke (phone, texts, email) virtually to all her family in Hawaii and friends from San Francisco to Seattle. She chose her hospice path and left us with a famous Mapu

one-liner to her daughter. “Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it looks”. Mike and Mapu both went to Evergreen State College, where she focused on Oriental literature (her passion was books of all flavors). She became quite naturally the main librarian of the new South County Library (Winkelman’s) and retired from the Tillamook county library after 18 years to her home in Woods, OR. As a surviving husband (David Michael Dill), she taught me two very important lessons about girls. 1) Girls like flowers (her mother and tutu both raised flowers in Hawaii) and 2) Girls like to share adventures (This is why boys were made.) She is survived in Oregon by three daughters (Jessie Rose Naupaka, Samantha Pualani, Melinda Likleolehua) and one son (Mark Kupunihi). She also is survived in Hawaii by two sisters (Olivia Likolehua Evenson) and (Rosemary Kuulei Burnett) with many nephews, nieces, aunties, uncles and cousins to round out her ohana (ex-tended family). She lived a regal life and we were honored to have shared it with her. As Fr. Bob, a pastor from Providence could see “She was a woman of peace who raised a strong fam-ily”. We will miss her. There will be a celebration of life on Jan. 30, 2021 (her birthday) outside of the Pacific City Library. Hope she brings us sunshine.

This 55 acre clear cut may keep the mill going for a few days,or weeks, but will degrade and potentially destroy the drinking water quality in Rockaway Beach for 100 years, until the forest. if allowed to, heals itself.

Tillamook County Roads Dept and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership were in charge of the project along with Farline Bridge. It took me over a month and half to find out who was even working on the project After numerous phone calls and emails finally they all came to agreement. I travel the Miami ( as locals call it) quite often and traveled numerous times through the construction zone last summer withought any problems. The day that destroyed my little PT Cruiser it was a different scene. There was a flagger directing one lane traffic. Everyone was moving along at a “Slow” but steady pace because that’s what her sign said to do. All of a. Sudden I hit a ledge in the road which stopped my

car and hard. They were getting ready to I believe raise the bridge and pave so the new road would then meet the old. There was no warning or sign that said extra caution or Bump. What I didn’t realize is that it broke two motor mounts that hold my Engine in place. Not realizing it I drove to Bay City. Where my car has day ever since. The Project manager said that He didn’t see it do he doesn’t know what happened and that it was Farline Bridge who would be the responsible party! Contacted Farline and they told me that since no one else complained or got in an accident that he wasn’t going to help me. He told me to have my Insurance call his. So I finally call my insurance Co. They came and looked at my vehicle and said it’s a total loss. It’s a total loss to me. The buy out price is a couple thousand less than what I owe. The bottom line is if there would have been a Caution/ Slash Warning sign I still would have my vehicle! I’m disabled and on a

fixed income and that vehicle got me to all my appointments and there is no way that I can afford another. I really think that these three companies are responsible. TEP said in an article about the project they raised the Road above the 100 year floodplain so that Tillamook County Residents would have a safer road to travel on . Well I guess I will miss that part. Too late. I am a Tillamook County Resident and have been since 1995. I do believe I should be included in that Statement! Stranded Again.

I disagree with Baily’s letter I try, but I just can’t fathom the outrageous attitude exhibited in April Baily’s letter protesting the use of masks during this pandemic. Refusing to wear a mask when we are interacting with others is dangerous, inconsiderate, and selfish. We owe it to ourselves and our neighbors to do everything we can to prevent the spread of this terrible virus. I’m no theologian, but I suspect mask wearing is also the Christian thing to do. Kansas had a state wide mask mandate in July. Counties were allowed to opt out of the mandate if they wished. 24 counties did not opt out of the mask mandate and 81 did opt out of the mandate. In the counties that observed the mandate the rate decreased by 6%. In counties that did not observe the mask mandate, rates increased by 100%. Rates were compared in August.

ape Meares writer Butch Freedman has been teaching an online short story writing work-shop. The class will be doing a reading of their work on Zoom on Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. The reading is open to the public. Cape Meares residents Ciel Downing, Deborah Neal, Wendy Kunkel, Bev Stein and others will read stories they wrote in the class. Please e-mail Bev at steinbeverly@gmail.com for a link to the reading. BJ Byron, our local high priestess of pies, baked 20 pies for Thanksgiving. And I am sure they were ALL delicious! Our family had her raspberry, blackberry and pecan pies, and they were scrumptious. Other kinds of pie that BJ made for Turkey Day were pumpkin, apple and marionber-ry. If you are one of the lucky individuals who won free pies by donating to CARE earlier this year, think ahead to Christmas and order your pies now. You can simply put them in the freezer until the big day is here. Call

Apparently two peo-ple were crabbing in an inflatable boat with an electric motor when they capsized in heavy surf at the mouth of the bay. It was 2:30 p.m. when the boat capsized; that was in the middle of a strong outgoing tide. Only the woman was wearing a life jacket; she survived, but her companion is pre-sumed drowned. What lessons can we learn from this? Capt. Pete says reserve your use of inflata-ble boats

Facilitators are Jana Mann “Tis the Sea-Sun…” Our daughter, Amber came for a socially distanced Thanksgiving visit and she got to enjoy a wonderful Sugar’s Instant Pot broccoli soup on Wednesday night and turkey dinner with all the trimmings on Thanksgiving. Amber made a pumpkin apple pie from a 1935 cookbook and it was delicious. It was a little different than our usual Thanksgiving weekend, but we had a great time non-the less. The three of us always have a great time together. And she and I recorded several of our Christmas ukulele songs. Maybe we need to make a CD? Steve Tackett, Scott Fisher and I had a great time the Friday after Thanksgiving at the Little Crow. Anne Savage asked if we would consider a socially distanced ukulele performance at her sale that day, so we performed from 11am-1pm. What a fun time, and it felt so good to perform again. We weren’t able to practice, but everybody thought we sounded great. We even had a few people surprised to see a live performance. They said it sounded so good that they thought we were recorded. Well, I don’t know about that, but I wasn’t at all disappointed with how we sounded. Simply Charming has a fun event coming up! You are going to love this. This is perfect! ‘Covid stole Christmas so the Grinch is giving it back!’ On Saturday, December 12th, all the children aged 10 and under are invited to come to Simply Charming to get a Christmas stocking from the Grinch.

for lakes or other quiet bodies of water, never crab near the mouth of a bay on an out-going tide unless your craft has plenty of power (electric motors are not powerful), have a back-up power source (a second motor or oars), carry an anchor with an anchor rope at least four times as long as the depth of the water, and ALWAYS wear your life jacket. This is not the first time that lives have been lost in that area. Boats have capsized when the weather was rougher than anticipated, when the motor quit and there was no back-up, when the captain didn’t understand tidal action, when there was no anchor or an anchor rope too short to hold the boat in place, and, saddest of all, when boaters neglected to wear life jackets. In 2010, two men died when a small boat lost power in Netarts Bay and was pulled out into the ocean. Another small boat attempted to rescue it by throwing a rope and crab ring. It is hypothesized that the rope may have Speaking of local good causes, remember that Nestucca Valley Backpack Food Program cannot hold a fundraiser this year and must raise $20,000 to meet increased demand.

It is truly an unforgettable story. Traditionally, the Christmas season had it’s share of stressful times before we ever experienced the pandemic. People often celebrated alone because their children couldn’t be with them, and large family gatherings often brought old family wounds and feuds to the surface. Even decorating, shopping, wrapping gifts, and baking produce a sense of too-muchto-do, not-enough-time anxiety; So now we are living in a time when generosity matters more than ever. Please give your time, your money, and your prayers to your community. See you next week at the Fencepost. In the meantime, a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Oregon anticipates having 147,000 first doses of both vaccines in December and expects an additional 87,000 of Pfizer’s and 31,000 Moderna’s vaccine Dec. 29 to provide a second dose to patients who received the first dose.

hen Marilu and I got in touch with each other to talk about this moment, one “so difficult that changed life for the whole community,” she admitted that she had thought she could not “talk or express myself well” in being interviewed on such a matter. I hope that she was joking when she diminished her advice on how to endure days facing the coronavirus pandemic. Because what she shared with me were extremely realistic strategies that one can apply universally and lastingly to keep moving forward. Her pragmatic attitude that “we have to follow all the regulations that are required; if we don’t comply

To move forward we must have faith

with them, things will get worse and there will be more infection from the virus,” seemingly resounds with the reality we are observing with the surge in infections this fall season. During the last week of November, the state of Oregon continued setting new weekly highs for cases and hospitalizations. And Tillamook County, on December 2nd, had to count up the seriousness of 148 confirmed and presumptive cases in total (source: Oregon Health Authority [OHA], updates and data available at https://govstatus.egov.com/ OR-OHA-COVID-19). It’s likely that Marilu’s straightforward tone comes from her already extensive experience under the pandemic adapting things to protect herself and her family. She works in housekeeping and early on adjusted to working fewer

hours, while taking many precautions to prevent the spread of the virus, minute to minute. To enter into and arrange the spaces lived in by others, whose daily interactions and itineraries remain unknown from Marilu’s point of view -- this service has asked her to assume quite enough risk. She has combatted it by, among other measures, leaving the door open, wearing mask and gloves, further disinfecting surfaces and sheets -- each

moment worked now is structured by a routine that sanitizes the setting. More than anything, she emphasizes that she “[tries] to clean myself well before entering the house to feel certain I’m not bringing infection when I arrive.” For Marilu, as for many, the home contains the reasons for which she commits to take all preventive measures, whether in the workplace or in the essential public places, minimized as they are. She carries the pride of being mother to four children, some of whom still live by her side in the house. As for those that have already moved out, like her eldest son, Marilu hopes that, some other day, her home could host the family that keeps growing: his little girl just turned two years old. Due to the isolations required household to household,

Marilu couldn’t put on a party for her, her first granddaughter. Instead of being able to hold the girl with the care that a grandmother shares, she has become accustomed to “visiting her” through the phone or the computer. Attending virtual gatherings is something that has become more commonplace in her life, together with others in the Hispanic community that come from desires to reunite with family and celebrate altogether. Due to the impossibility of comforting oneself in the company of multitudes, especially when many Hispanic people are confronting “so many cases” in their communities, Marilu remains a woman of faith. She encourages those that are experiencing depression and that feel sadness that “we must keep the faith, and if not, seek help.” Given that “everyone’s emotions

are coming out because we are always walking with the fear that we might catch the virus,” Marilu underlines that “if one gets to [over]thinking or stressing themselves, it is worse.” At the least, we’ve got to “seem positive, not negative,” -- sometimes faking an emotion can end up creating the real thing. That said, Marilu doesn’t settle for wishful thinking. She advises “sticking to the rules, taking all precautions, not losing faith” -- this faith is maintained in practical steps, on the path toward “a more normal life” -- including perhaps an in-person reunion -- and that comes on the horizon we create.

PARA SEGUIR ADELANTE, MANTENGAMOS LA FE

uando Marilu y yo nos pusimos en contacto la una con la otra para hablar sobre este momento “bien difícil que cambió la vida” para toda la comunidad, ella me admitió que no había pensado poder “hablar ni expresarme bien” a propósito de ser entrevistada sobre tal asunto. Yo espero que ella me estuviera platicando a tono de broma cuando menospreció sus consejos alrededor de cómo sobrellevar los días frente a la pandemia del coronavirus. Lo que me compartió fueron estrategias sumamente realistas que uno puede aplicar universal y duraderamente para seguir adelante. Su actitud pragmática de que “tenemos que hacer

todas las reglas que se requieren; si no obedecemos las reglas, sigue peor, sigue más contagio del virus,” aparentemente resuena con la realidad que recién hemos observado por la subida de infecciones esta temporada otoñal. Durante la última semana de noviembre, el estado de Oregón continuó estableciendo nuevos máximos semanales de casos y hospitalizaciones. Y el Condado de Tillamook, hasta el 2 de diciembre, tenía que contar a la gravedad de 148 casos confirmados y presuntos en total (La Autoridad de Salud de Oregón [OHA], actualizaciones y datos disponibles en https://govstatus.egov. com/OR-OHA-COVID-19.) Es probable que el tono directo de Marilu derive de su experiencia ya extensa bajo la pandemia de adaptar las cosas para protegerse a sí misma y a la familia. Trabaja en limpieza de casas y tem-

pranamente se acostumbró a trabajar menos horas mientras tomaba las precauciones comprensivas para prevenir la propagación del virus, minuto por minuto. Entrar y arreglar los espacios vividos por otros cuyas interacciones e itinerarios diarios permanecen desconocidos desde el punto de vista de Marilu -- este servicio ha pedido a ella que asuma bastante riesgo. Lo ha combatido por,entre otras medidas, mantener la puerta abierta, poner la mascarilla y los guantes, desinfectar más las superficies y las sábanas -- cada momento trabajado ahora es estructurado por una regulación que

higieniza el marco. Más que nada, enfatiza que “trato de limpiarme bien antes de entrar a la casa para sentirme segura de que no voy a traer infecciones al llegar [allí].” Para Marilu, como para muchos, el hogar contiene a las razones, personificadas, por las que ella se compromete a hacer todas las medidas preventivas, bien en el lugar del trabajo o en los sitios públicos esenciales, minimizados que sean. Tiene el orgullo de ser madre de cuatro hijos, algunos de quienes todavía viven a su lado en casa. Con respecto a ellos que ya se han mudado fuera, como su

hijo mayor, Marilu espera que, algún otro día, su hogar podría albergar a la familia que sigue creciendo: la niña de él justo cumplió los dos años. Pero debido a los aislamientos requisitos de casa a casa, Marilu no pudo hacerle una fiesta para ella, su primera nieta. En vez de poder tocarle a la muchacha con el cariño compartido por una abuela, se ha acostumbrado a “visitarla’’ a través del teléfono o la computadora. Asistir a reuniones electrónicas o digitales es algo que se ha convertido más común en su vida, en conjunto con otras en la comunidad hispana que vienen de los deseos de reunirse con la familia y de celebrar todos juntos. Pese a la imposibilidad de reconfortarse uno en la compañía de multitudes, especialmente cuando muchas personas hispanas se han enfrentado a “tantos casos” en sus comunidades,

Superhero Shepard’s Pie Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 60 minutes Ingredients - 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and diced - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese - ½ cup non-fat or 1% milk - ½ teaspoon salt - ¼ teaspoon pepper - 1 pound lean ground beef (15% fat) - 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional) - 3 tablespoons flour - 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables - 1 teaspoon or cube beef boullion - 1 cup water

Marilu permanece una mujer de la fe. Les anima a los que tienen depresión y que sienten tristes que “tenemos que tener la fe, o si no, buscar ayuda.” Ya que “salían las emociones [de las personas en la comunidad] porque siempre van a andar con este miedo de que agarremos el virus,” Marilu subraya que “si pone uno al pensar o estresarse, es peor.” Por lo menos, tenemos que “parecer positivos y no negativos,” -- tal vez fingir una emoción puede llegar creando la cosa auténtica. Dicho esto, Marilu no se conforma a pura ilusión. Nos aconseja que “sigan las reglas, tomen todas las precauciones, que no pierdan la fe.” Esta fe se mantiene con pasos prácticos en el camino hacia “una vida más normal” -- que incluye quizás una reunión en persona -- y que venga en el horizonte que creemos.
