City Council looking at code updates

Will

Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook’s City Council

addressed a light agenda at their regular meeting on February 6, discussing an update of the code and hearing a lengthy report from the city manager. The code refresh will be addressed again at the council’s first meeting in March, with public comment and a final vote.

City Manager Nathan George said that the work on the code is not instituting any new ordinances, only updating it to reflect all ordinances that have been passed by the council. The last such comprehensive update took place in 2013.

In addition to compiling passed ordinances, the code update will also remove city employee rules from the code. George said that this was best practice according to the city’s counsel and the rules will be included in the city’s employee handbook going forward.

George also noted that rules for the council were not included in the current draft as the council had agreed they needed updating and he had omitted them to allow that to happen.

Councilmember Rebekah

Hopkins noted that an email from the city attorney addressing the employee rule issue had been included but not regarding the city council rules. George said that he had discussed removing the city council rules with city counsel verbally.

Hopkins said that she would like to see the existing council rules added back into the code and to see typos in the document fixed. Other councilmembers agreed and decided to schedule public comment on the proposed update and the vote for March 6.

George delivered his monthly report on city operations following the discussion, with the biggest news being an update to city hall’s hours. Starting February 13, city hall will be open from Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The change will allow residents to pay their bills in-person after work and allow contractors to come in earlier for permits, according to George, who also noted city hall saw light traffic on Fridays.

Brian Reynolds was named council president and Councilor Doug Henson announced that he was working to bring a veteran’s memorial to the triangle of state land between First Street and Main and Pacific Avenues.

Tillamook County’s recycling programs getting major overhaul

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook County’s recycling program is in the process of receiving a complete overhaul thanks to an Oregon Bill that is revamping the way recycling is handled across the state.

Tillamook’s Solid Waste Program Director David McCall told county commissioners that the bill offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity and that his department will be gathering public input at a meeting on February 14.

“It’s an incredible opportunity but we need to take advantage of that opportunity in the right way,” McCall told commissioners.

Oregon’s 2021 Recycling Modernization Act was passed in response to tight import restrictions on recyclable materials imposed by the Chinese government in 2019.

Prior to the implementation of the so called “Chinese Green Fence,” American recyclers had relied on exporting materials to the Chinese market for processing.

The clamp down led to a free fall in the market for recyclable materials, according to McCall, drastically affecting the cost structure of Tillamook’s program, though not its scope.

The recycling modernization act will standardize the recycling program across the entire state of Oregon and shift costs for recycling to the producers of waste products.

By 2025, Oregonians will be able to recycle the same materials in any locality in the state and the

cost of recycling will be borne by producer responsibility organizations, or PROs.

PROs are non-profits formed by the producers of recyclable and disposable waste, as well as some advertisers. Those companies fund the PRO, which in turn works with local governments to fund the costs of collection and recycling. This model aims to remove the cost to the public and governments, shifting it instead to the producers, according to McCall, who noted that the city currently loses money when recycling glass. The updated program will also reclassify many items as recyclable that have been excluded in recent years. It will go into effect in July 2025.

The February 14 meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the Tillamook Bay Community College in the building at 4506 3rd Street. Attendees will be updated on the program’s development to date and be offered a chance to offer input for state officials working on it. County commissioners approved $15,000 to permanently turn the Old Wheeler-Mohler Road

into a fire lane at the same meeting. The funds will pay for installation of a permanent fence with lock at the Highway 101 turnoff for the road and maintenance work to clear the right of wy of brush.

The road, which connects Highway 101 to Highway 56, has been close to its intersection with 101 since a 2016 mudslide, though residents maintained access from 56. FEMA paid for repairs to the road that were completed in December 2022.

Commissioners also approved a survey by Gallup to gauge county employee attitudes about workplace dynamics that will take place in mid-March.

Finally, they signed a letter of support for the Tillamook Bay Watershed Council in its application for funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB).

The council has not received funding from OWEB in several years after issues with the council’s management and had become fallow.

It has since reformed its board and hopes that its new structure and leadership will allow it to secure funding this year.

All three commissioners were enthusiastic in praising the work of Hawken Smith (?) who is chairing the new board and appeared at the meeting, and enthusiastically endorsed his work.

ODOT hosting open house to discuss Wilson River Hwy issues

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Oregon Department of Transportation is hosting an open house to discuss the ongoing Wilson River Highway study at the Port of Tillamook Bay on February 16. The event will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and ODOT will be gathering further feedback through an online survey from

Senator Suzanne Weber sponsored the bill when she was a state representative. Highway 6 has long presented safety concerns and the study aims to identify the largest of those for a report for the state legislature, which will be completed by September.

The report will contain a comprehensive list of the problems on the road and prioritize them to streamline future repairs.

Both Weber and State Representative Cyrus Javadi, who won election to Weber’s old seat in November, told the Herald that they plan to propose legislation to remediate the issues following the study’s completion.

Tillamook High School Sopho-

more Alyssa Lester is preparing for a study abroad trip in Japan that will start in March.

She’s wanted to visit the land of the rising sun since she was a kid and was inspired to finally apply for the program after meeting exchange students visiting Tillamook. “Seeing the exchange students and seeing the way they bring light into my life, I want to be that light for somebody else,” Lester said. “I want to inspire others the way they’ve all inspired me.”

Lester will be leaving for Japan on March 21 for a ten-month study abroad program with AFS, but still has some fundraising to do to pay for the trip.

Lester moved to Tillamook in 2019 to live with her aunt, Shelly Becker, after her parents lost their home in California and she was out of school for two years.

Becker says that Lester began working hard in Tillamook to catch up on her missed education and build a sterling grade point average, which now sits at 4.5.

Japan had been alluring to Lester since she was a little girl, when anime caught her imagination, and that interest blossomed into a passion for all aspects of Japanese culture as she grew older.

When she came home enthused about meeting exchange students, Becker did some quick research and encouraged Lester to start thinking about the possibility of studying abroad.

Lester realized that she would need to fund any potential trip, and quickly found a job at Flamingo Jim’s in Rockaway Beach while she began exploring the various programs.

By last summer, she had decided to apply with AFS, which she said attracted her because of its focus on cross-cultural connections.

“The AFS program especially works on bringing people together by their differences instead of segregating them by them,” Lester said, “I think that’s really beautiful.”

After choosing the program, Lester applied last summer and was accepted. She is still waiting to hear where she will be going specifically and to be connected with her host family.

Her stay will last for ten months, during which she will attend a Japanese-language school.

Lester says her Japanese isn’t great but that she’s excited for the opportunity to learn by immersion and ready for the challenge.

“I’m definitely really excited for challenges, that’s like the driving force of my whole being is being

Garibaldi’s finances still

for city leaders

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Garibaldi’s bookkeeping decisions have left their finances in a state that cannot be audited, according to the city’s auditor, city council learned at a special meeting on February 7.

The decision to contract the services of a certified personal accountant led to incorrectly formatted financial reports and will now require a second accountant to redo all the work.

“It’s putting the City of Garibaldi in a perilous position and we need to get out of that position right now,” Mayor Tim Hall said.

The financial update was delivered by Councilmember Linda Bade, who has been working on cleaning up the city’s finances since before her election last November.

Bade said that Hurliman CPA had been an inappropriate choice to handle the city’s accounting needs. The firm does not have experience in government accounting and has been preparing monthly financial reports incorrectly, according to Bade.

Bade said that the errors made it impossible to know the city’s true financial footing from the financial reports and gave the misimpression that the city was over $1 million in debt.

All councilmembers agreed that this situation was untenable and needed to be fixed by a qualified expert, with government accounting experience.

Bade said that the city should explore hiring a financial manager with the experience to handle the monthly responsibilities onto staff, but that in the interim contracting an outside specialist was necessary.

To audit this fiscal year’s finances an outside auditor will need to rerecord every financial transaction the city has made since last July or try to build a spreadsheet to organize the existing data.

Hall and the council directed Interim City Manager Jay Marugg to post an advertisement for the financial manager position. Hall told the Herald that he had been in contact with CIS Oregon, which had said that they could complete the recruitment process by early March and begin selection shortly after.

The council also directed Marugg to begin speaking with outside firms about contracting to redo this year’s financial reports in the interim. Hall noted that the city needs to have the issue fixed before the city’s budgeting process begins in April.

Council also chose search questions and a candidate evaluation matrix to use during their ongoing search for a city manager.

Councilmember Katie Findling proposed that they use the interview questions and evaluation matrix set forth by the League of Oregon Cities in its administrative hiring guide.

Council unanimously approved this decision and will be working to divide the 50-question list into two groups, one for a first interview and the other for a second. They will discuss and finalize the groupings on February 15, ahead of a work session.

Manzanita council wants more research done on city hall project, approves planning commission candidates

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Manzanita’s City Council approved funding for additional investigatory work for the new city hall project and heard reports on multiple projects and ordinances on February 8.

Mayor Deb Simmons also made three appointments to the planning commission, after rejecting the recommendations of a selection committee in January, drawing the ire of other councilors.

Simmons named John Collier and Thomas Crist to four-year terms on the commission and Frank Squillo to a two-year term. She apologized to the candidates whose names had been advanced and rejected in January.

At the time, Simmons expressed misgivings about the search committee’s process and said she wanted to review the candidates herself.

The mayor holds sole discretion over committee appointments, per the city’s charter, so despite objections from council members, the search was reopened.

Simmons said that she had since reviewed all submitted applications, discussed the interviews that had taken place with committee members and interviewed those candidates who had not been previously.

Concurrently, the council reviewed the process for appointing committee members, adopting finalized updates to that process at the February 8 meeting. That process had been implemented in August 2022, specifically for the planning commission search.

After Simmons made the appointments, Councilmembers Jenna Edginton, who served on the selection committee, and Jerry Spegman expressed concerns about Simmons’s handling of the matter.

Edginton said that the mayor had never detailed her concerns about the process used by the committee. She said that the updated process did not differ substantially from the one it replaced and would not have led to different appointment recommendations.

Spegman said that he was concerned that the mayor had neglected to speak with her predecessor about the process, instead opting to seek advice from mayors of other cities.

Both were displeased with the embarrassment caused to applicants and time wasted by search committee members.

Edginton said that the process had been designed expressly to prevent the appearance of mayoral cronyism in appointments and that this imbroglio had drawn concern

challenged,” Lester said.

In addition to working at Flamingo Jim’s, Lester has put on a variety of fundraisers throughout the community and raised $13,000 of the $18,000 program tuition.

Lester said that she is incredibly grateful for the community’s support and that she is not worried about raising the remaining money after the generosity she has already experienced.

“We’re too far in to quit now in my personal opinion,” she said.

They were quick to say that Lester was willing to do odd-jobs and asked for anybody who was interested in supporting the trip to please reach out.

Lester hopes to go to university in Japan and study art or literature before pursuing a career in one of those fields or maybe politics.

She is looking forward to the opportunity to spread positivity and change on her trip, gushing with excitement about the opportunity.

“A lot of it is driven for change for a better world,” Lester said, “that’s something I’ve always wanted to contribute to ever since I was little

from community members. The updates to the search process for future selection committees are interviews and rankings of all qualified candidates, rather than a short list, the posting of applications to the city’s website and the inclusion of two city councilmembers on the search committee.

The new procedure will apply to all committee searches, except those for the budget committee, which are regulated by state law.

In addition to those updates, the council approved budget increases to pay for expanded investigatory work at the school site designated for the proposed new city hall.

At a special meeting on January 18, the council directed Bearing Architecture and Klosh Group, the company managing the project, to examine the costs associated with preserving the Quonset hut on the site.

This request came after the project team had recommended demolition of both the school building and

Quonset hut after preliminary studies showed they had major asbestos, structural and foundational concerns.

Councilmembers approved $7,000 in additional funding to Bearing and $3,000 to Klosh to complete the work.

Call for True Survivor Stories

Tides of Change is celebrating 40 years of service to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Tillamook County. In April 2023 we will celebrate survivors and their incredible resiliency with a storytelling event.

True stories have the power to heal by helping survivors to stand in their own power and shine a light on injustice. True stories connect people with shared experience and raise awareness and empathy in a community. The courageous and generous act of sharing true stories can change the people who tell them and the people who hear them.

We are inviting survivors to share their true stories of domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, and/or human trafficking with the community. Stories can be spoken, read or performed by survivors or by volunteers if survivors prefer to remain anonymous. Survivor stories can also be in a variety of mediums, such as artwork, music, or poetry. Stories in Spanish and English are welcome. Last day for submissions is March 10, 2023.

If you are a survivor and have a story you are willing to share, please go to our website www.tidesofchangenw.org/survivor-stories for more information. You can also contact our executive Director Valerie Bundy at valerie@tidesofchangenw.org or 503.842.9486.

Stories should be true, up to 8 minutes, and not include real names of other people. A written version of your story or poems may be read by a volunteer upon request. Music can also be performed at the event.

Last day for submissions is March 10, 2023.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and celebrating survivors in our community.

Rockaway Beach council approves contract for trail consultant

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Rockaway Beach’s City Council approved a contract with Destination Management Advisors to help coordinate the initial design phase of a new trail that will be part of the Salmonberry Trail.

The $60,000 contract is for services that will set Rockaway Beach up to apply for further funding for the project from ODOT’s Community Paths Program.

ODOT has already committed

$750,000 in grant funding to complete the design phase of the project, which will run from north to south along Highway 101 in Rockaway Beach.

Destination Management Advisors will be leading the public outreach portion of the project, helping city leaders determine what stakeholders and community members want from the trail. After gathering feedback, the firm will prepare a design memorandum for the city, which it can then use in applications for further funding.

Destination Management Advisors will also help the city to liaise with ODOT, serving as project manager throughout the design phase of the project. Jon-Paul Bowles will be leading the project for Destination Management Advisors. He told council that he hoped to have the design phase mostly completed this year so that construction funding could be applied for in 2024 and 2025.

Council approved repairs to the boardwalk at the old growth cedar trail that were caused by a January

storm. The repairs will cost $25,000 and be performed by the contractor who originally completed the boardwalk. The city will be fully reimbursed for the cost by insurance after the work is completed in late February.

Council also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad for a project to improve the crossing at South First Street. The memorandum stated that the city will pay for the materials for the crossing, while the railroad will pay for labor and

project management.

Councilmembers discussed the search process for the city council seat left vacant by Cindy Kay Gregory’s recent resignation at the work session preceding the meeting. Applications will be accepted until March 1, at which point the council will select three candidates to interview, before voting on a selection.

Nestucca RFPD looking for volunteers for South Tillamook County

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is always looking for volunteer help to allow it to continue serving the population of south Tillamook County.

The district responded to more than 1,000 calls in each of the last two years, a first in its history, and relies heavily on volunteer support to buttress paid firefighters.

“There’s all kinds of stuff they can do as a volunteer to

help us,” Chief James Oeder said. “We look for firefighters, we look for people that want to be EMTs, we have people that just want to operate equipment for us.”

The district serves a large area across southern Tillamook County with stations located in Beaver, Pacific City, Neskowin, Blaine, Sand Lake and the main firehouse in Hebo.

Oeder estimated that around 60% of the district’s calls are for medical emergencies, 10% for fires and

the remainder go to vehicle accidents and other miscellaneous emergencies.

The district employs nine full time shift firefighters and three chiefs and has around 25 people who volunteer in some capacity.

The district works with other districts in Tillamook County to offer firefighter training academies and 40-hour EMS classes to prospective volunteers at no cost.

It also has a program to offer $1,000 reimburse-

ment towards the cost of a two-term EMT class at Tillamook Bay Community College in exchange for a one-year commitment to volunteering with the department.

The department also works with Nestucca High School to provide an academy program that allows students to train for firefighting work starting at age 16. After turning 18, students can become certified firefighters after going into one live fire.

Oeder said that the program has helped several Nestucca graduates find work straight out of high school in recent years.

Oeder also wants to bring the Firewise USA program to Nestucca. The program helps to educate homeowners on the risk of wildfires, which Oeder says are a threat on the coast despite common misconceptions.

Looking ahead to 2024,

Oeder said that the fire district’s levy is set to run out and will need reapproval

from voters.

He said that with timber revenues contributing around $1,000 annually, the levy was critical for the district and that he was planning to ask for it to remain at the same level it is currently.

“If we didn’t have the levy to be able to have the personnel there would be a lot of calls that we couldn’t go on anymore,” said Oeder. Please send any comments to headlightreporter@ countrymedia.net.

provide that methodology.

Aman said that she was working on drafting methodology to allow the increases to proceed, but that it would require the adoption of a new ordinance.

In anticipation of the ordi-

nance, Aman began public noticing in early February, but the requisite notice period will push the hear for the new ordinance to the council’s June meeting. The council also received an update on the in-development transportation system plan (TSP) for Manzanita, Wheeler and Nehalem.

Kara Hall from Fehr and Peers, the firm that has been helping the cities with the plan, detailed the first draft that they have developed.

The TSP will contain an inventory of the cities’ joint transportation infrastructure and list of projects needed to upgrade and update it moving forward. Having an updated plan will allow the city to qualify for new grant opportunities to expand funding for transportation needs.

Hall said that the firm has completed its first draft after receiving much public feedback. They are now ready to receive further comment from the council, planning commission and public ahead of final adoption in the summer.

The draft TSP identified upgrading pedestrian and bike infrastructure and connections between the businesses, beaches and parks of Manzanita, and improving safety on Highway 101 throughout the north county as priorities.

January ended with some mighty cold weather, but that didn’t deter 12 hearty souls from turning out for the Cape Meares community potluck. And they were glad they had! The group of neighbors feasted on lasagna, smoked pulled pork, coleslaw, beans, and cranberry sauce, topped off with cookies, cake and blueberry cobbler for dessert.

Mark your calendars for the next potluck on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. at the Barbara Bennett Community Center.

The temperature fell to 25℉ here that last weekend in Jan. I didn’t hear of anyone’s pipes freezing, but remember years ago a similar cold snap that left a neighbor with a broken toilet after the water in the toilet bowl froze.

We walked over to Paul and Donna Lehto’s house the other day to pick up some paperwork Pete was helping to edit for the Cape Meares Community Association. The Lehtos have a lovely home back in the forest, with an open floor plan and comfortable seating.

Donna has long-time roots in this area, with her greatgrandfather having been an assistant lighthouse keeper at Cape Meares Lighthouse. She showed us two old maps of Cape Meares, and we identified four streets we’ve lost in

the never-ending battle with the sea: Ocean Boulevard, Meares Avenue, Front Street, and 1st Street. What an interesting slice of history!

On our way home from the Lehtos’, we passed the Drafahls’ property on 7th St. They have made this area directly behind their house into a beautiful place to walk and rest. There are graveled walkways, wooden benches made by Sue, graceful statuary, and planks forming a bridge. Thanks, Jack and Sue, for inviting us to have a look at your sanctuary.

Robert “Olli” Ollikainen continues to participate in a survey colloquially called the “Dead Bird Survey,” an activity of the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) sponsored by the University of Washington (UW). Olli began his involvement with this group back in the early 2000s, surveying the

same mile of Bayocean Spit at least monthly. In recent years, he began sharing the leadership duties for mile 286 surveys with Wendy Burroughs, a full-time Cape Meares resident who is a retired environmental educator from Arizona. Successful knee replacement surgery has extended Olli’s ability to walk and bend without pain, and he plans to continue participating in the surveys for the foreseeable future. Eventually, Wendy will take over and keep the research on this mile going.

On a recent bird survey walk, Olli found an unusual bird on the beach. He tentatively identified it as a greater scaup, a type of duck not commonly found on Cape Meares beach. Hats off to citizen scientists Olli, Wendy and the others on their survey teams.

A deceased adult female Steller sea lion was found on the south end of Cape Meares beach on Jan. 31, 2023. As always, if you see a dead or injured marine mammal on the beach, keep dogs away and notify Jim Rice, Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator for Oregon State, phone number 541-270-6830—which is what we did.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope someone or something sweet comes your way today.

February is National Career-Technical Education (CTE) month. In Oregon, the Oregon Community College Association (OCCA) works with the 17 community colleges to promote and highlight all the great work being done across the state to train and prepare Oregonians for the state’s workforce and industries with high-paying jobs. We will highlight different fields and areas of study each Wednesday at noon on Zoom, encouraging all of our legislators to view how our community colleges meet the high need for trained workers in many different areas. TBCC will be one of the colleges highlighted in the Feb 15 segment that focuses on our welding program.

CTE is one of the three major focus areas at our community colleges, along with transfer to universities and community education opportunities. TBCC has been focusing on growing our CTE programs over the past six years and will continue to do so into the future. We want to offer more opportunities for Tillamook County citizens to find rewarding careers in many different fields that provide family-wage jobs with the ability for advancement. We currently offer CTE programs in business, criminal justice, manufacturing and industrial technology, weld-

Iwas honored, in time for my birthday last week, with news that my piece won a prize at Tillamook Regional Medical Center’s “Art for the Heart” show in Nehalem. My metal mosaic (from aluminum cans on a wood panel) was voted “People’s Choice,” and I won a $150 gift card. I’m truly thrilled. That “Art for the Heart” show is happening throughout February at North County Recreation District (NCRD). The gallery will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. weekdays through the month of February. The address is 36155 9th St, Nehalem, 97131. Because the space is made available (by reservation) for community use, it may be helpful to telephone in advance and verify that the art will be available for viewing; please

ing technology, agricultural technology, truck driving (non-credit), and a growing number of healthcare-related fields. These include a basic healthcare certificate, EMS (paramedic program coming in fall 2024), phlebotomy, medical assistant, CNA, and nursing (will be starting our own RN nursing program next fall). As we get close to opening our new Healthcare Education Building, hopefully in the spring of 2025, we will be exploring more healthcare-related programs that highly need trained workers in Tillamook County.

We are also working to grow our apprenticeship programs. These include limited maintenance electrician, inside electrician, industrial maintenance millwright, and industrial plant technician. We are currently working with O’Brien Construction to develop a new apprenticeship program in Carpentry and Interior Finish, along with possibly one soon in marine and platform construction. Our new CTE Dean, Sherry

Cook, is working hard to build relationships with industries and companies throughout Tillamook County to find additional ways we can provide trained workers to meet their growing needs. Another area we are exploring for a new CTE program is early childhood education. This would be a credential program certificate in child development to help meet the large need for childcare workers that we have in Tillamook County.

We are also working closely with the high schools in Tillamook County to provide a more seamless transfer from high school CTE classes to TBCC CTE programs so students can save time and money by receiving college credits while in high school that counts directly toward a CTE degree or certificate at TBCC. This provides a pathway from high school to college to the workforce for students to obtain the skills needed to get a good-paying position in as little time as possible after high school.

We are very excited at TBCC to be growing more CTE programs and opportunities for our students, and we will continue to do so into the future. If you have any questions or interest in these programs, please do come over to TBCC and talk to our Student Success Coaches who can provide all the information needed to get started in a program.

call 855-444-6273, option 1. I was treated to lunch by a dear friend for my birthday at The Sportsman Pub and Grub in Pacific City. I’ve always loved their pan fried oysters and coleslaw. Our meal did not disappoint and the home town vibe was great.

While we were in town we visited TIllamook County Library to print some things off of the internet and the Library Thrift Store. I found a $1.50 vase there, a birthday gift to myself, that’s selling for over $100 online. The thrift store recently reopened after a break for winter holidays. The hours are 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays; they’re located at 6330 Ferry Street (across Brooten Road from The Grateful Bread Bakery and Cafe). The thrift store, which funds the South Tillamook County Library building and grounds, welcomes resalable donations from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on days that the shop is open.

Speaking of South Tillamook County Library, Library Director Don Allgeier will host a “Listening Session” there from 6:00-7:00 p.m. this

Thursday, February 16. Input is sought from the community to shape the library’s next five years. It’s located at 6200 Camp Street in Pacific City.

February’s City Council meeting continued the move towards transparency that was so much in demand at last year’s Listening Sessions. Of particular note was a comment from Luke Shepard, City Manager, midway through the meeting:

“We are approaching budget season and are scheduling meetings for the year. At the budget meetings, we’ll present more information on budget law.” Luke said he will be present to explain the mechanics of budget law. Those of you who want to know how the City spends money, be sure to show up for these. I’ll post the date and time several weeks in advance. At these meetings, financial

statements will be distributed in packets instead of being exclusively on line. The statements cover monthly and year-to-date revenue. “Revenue is coming in higher than expected,” said Luke. “We are on track to stay within our budget this year.” Luke added that the City is exploring the hiring of a budget manager, “which would have a big impact on Rockaway now.” A future project mentioned in this meeting will help not only with transparency, but also with simplifying the the way citizens give direction to city government. This project will define a process for giving feedback about the Transient Room Tax (TRT) funds. Luke pointed out that this will give citizens input,

SCOTT FISHER ROCKAWAY BEACH sfisher71@yahoo.com

as well as information, about questions such as “What projects are going to be funded this year?” Again, if you want to have a say on how the City spends money, this will be significant.

Mayor McNeilly expanded on the project, and mentioned several upcoming community workshops to “put you all to work and tell us how you

want us to spend the TRT money. This is about city government going out to you, and you giving us input on how you want us to govern the city. And it’s free.” Watch for more details. New business included three resolutions, which passed unanimously.

23-980 outlined a contract with Destination Management Advisors, who are consulting on the Salmonberry Trail project. This marks exciting progress on a long-time project, which I’ll discuss in more detail in a future column.

23-981 approved a contingency transfer for fiscal year 2022-23, consisting of $25,000 to fund work for repairs to the Cedar Grove boardwalk damaged in the

December storm. We have insurance from when the trail was first put in; this bill simply moves funds from the roads and street contingency funds so that we could make the repairs to the boardwalk. Repairs are expected to be completed by the end of February.

23-982 concerned refurbishment of the South First Street railroad crossing, which gives access to the Wayside. According to this resolution, the City will pay the material costs of refurbishment, while the Oregon Coast Scenic Rail Road will cover the cost of labor and project management.

Councilor Penny Cheek said, “The resolution we have just approved has been long needed. It’s a blessing that we’re finally going to get that railroad crossing fixed so that you can now walk across it without fearing for your life.”

Again, sad news: Cindy Kay Gregory’s health con-

tinues to deteriorate, and the search is underway to fill her spot on City Council. Mayor McNeilly invited residents to apply, saying, “Be the fresh new voice for community engagement that Cindy Kay would have been.” The City of Rockaway Beach is currently accepting applications for her vacant position on the City Council. Applications will be accepted through 11:30 AM on March 1, 2023. Potential applicants are advised to check the City’s website for updated application material and instructions. Also, there will be a Listening Session at the Rockaway Beach Library, 120 N. Coral Street, on Saturday, February 25 at 11 AM. This session with Don Allgeier, the new Library Director for Tillamook County. The goal is to share our ideas and vision for the future of the library system in Tillamook County.

GARDENING MATTERS In between time

GARDENINGMATTERS

Happy Valentine’s Day. Here we are at the midpoint of February already. Can gardening season be far behind? I do consider mid-February to be midpoint between the winter of January and the spring of March; kind of in-between time.

We had some very cold weather at the end of January and I was afraid I was going to lose some of my hellebores. The poor flowers were drooping their little heads. I did lose a Senecio, but that was due to my negligence in not taking it inside when I knew the temps were to dip below 30. Lesson learned. And the hardy fuchsias looked a little withered, too. But once the temperatures climbed back into the 40’s at night, all returned to almost normal. I should know better than to worry about perennials as they are meant to survive a cold spell now and then. I was saddened for a couple of days but I felt better watching the hellebores perk up again. The daffodils and crocus are already sprouting leaves as they like a good cold snap. We do need to keep an eye on the soil and make sure the plants are getting enough water should the rains not return soon.

A nice day in February is actually a pretty good time to get some tasks done in the garden. For example, if you have a lawn, now is a good time to tune up the lawn mower and garden equipment so you are ready when the grass starts to get too high over the next couple of months. I do have a neighbor who mowed his lawn in mid-January and all I could think was “its too soon!” This is especially true if you are trying to attract certain pollinators. Grass that is a little wild for the first months of spring is a haven for bees. Thus we have “No Mow May” which is a campaign to encourage people to mow their lawns less in the Spring to allow those native bees to feed in a time when little else is in bloom. Started in the United Kingdom in 2019, this campaign has become popular in the States as well.

February is also a good time to have the soil tested to determine its nutrient needs. This is true for a new vegetable patch or an

Think about this: if you are a “foodie,” it might be fun to put in an herb garden to harvest fresh herbs for cooking. Herbs are also interesting plants for the flower beds. Perfect herbs for the coastal garden are rosemary, lavender, parsley, sage, chives, and basil. Herbs like as much sun as you can give them, and protection from the wind. Plant annual herbs indoors now and transplant into the garden once the danger of frost has passed. Rosemary and lavenders are semi-woody shrubs and are okay outside all year. But the basil and parsley will need to be transplanted in warmer weather than February offers. If you planted cover crops last fall in your veggie patch, February is the time to turn them under to fertilize the soil before planting.

I like to prune my deciduous Summer-blooming shrubs like fuchsia and Escallonia this month, too. I take the fuchsia down to about 8 inches and it always comes back with a vengeance. The Escallonia I usually prune to get the pathways cleared, although this year I am going to do a more serious pruning to reinvigorate it. No worries as this Summer-bloomer will also come back and reward you with blooms.

February is also a good time to plant new roses and to prune established ones. I like to cut back roses to about 15” and clear out the center of the plants for better circulation to prevent mildew and fungal diseases. I take out any branches that are less in diameter than a pencil, too. This puts new energy in the older branches which provide the rose blooms.

Of course, if you find that special February day when the air and the sun seem a little warmer, you can use it to clean out the potting sheds, too. I like to clean my pots as well as my tools so that I can jump right in when the weather turns really nice.

Sharen Peterson 1937 ~ 2023 Erma J.

of the 3 South County grade schools that then existed. She was the school secretary of Cloverdale Elementary for many years, then took up a similar role at Hebo Grade School and finished her working life as a teacher’s aide at Beaver Grade School. Years later, she delighted in seeing kids she had known bring their own children to Russ’ U-cut Xmas tree business each December.

Sharen Rodman Peterson, 86, has died at her home in Salem.

Sharen was born at home in Redmond, Oregon in 1937. Her mother, Martha Burkhart Rodman, was a former school teacher descended from Linn County pioneers. Her father, George W. Rodman, Jr., worked in construction and later farmed part of the Culver land that had been homesteaded by his parents.

Sharen began school in Redmond and graduated from Culver High School in 1955 as one of a class of 6. She moved to Portland, graduated from Behnke-Walker Business College and became secretary to the College’s President. On a blind date arranged by one of her former teachers, she met Russell Peterson – a fortuitous match leading to a marriage which lasted till Russ’ death in 2012.

Russ and Sharen moved to South Tillamook County in 1960 when Russ, a newly graduated forester, accepted an offer from Spaulding Pulp and Paper. While Russ worked for Spaulding and later Publishers Paper Co and Times Mirror, Sharen was employed over time at each

Post-retirement, Sharen continued to travel widely with Russ, collect plants for her beloved garden and volunteer in the community. A love of books led her to serve two terms on the Tillamook County Library Board. Sharen especially enjoyed reading biographies – not surprising perhaps in such a kind and empathetic woman who always took a deep interest in the shapes of the lives around her. A lifelong artist, Sharen painted in oils when young before developing an abiding affection for watercolour and pen and ink drawing. She often combined the two in the hand-painted cards mailed to friends and family for their birthdays. In later years, she found great pleasure in getting together with her friends to paint and draw.

Sharen is survived by her daughter Cynthia Peterson, her son Kris Harold Peterson, her daughter-in-law Jennifer Peterson, two grandchildren, Alison Crowley and Luke Russell Peterson, as well as two great-grandsons, Forrest and Drift Crowley.

Sharen’s family would like all her friends and acquaintances to know how often, and until its end, Sharen expressed gratitude for her life and especially for the variety and richness of her friendships.

Pirates end regular seasons with wins

Will Chappell Headlight Sports

Neah-Kah-Nie’s basketball teams both ended their regular seasons on a high note with wins against the Rainier Columbians.

The girls’ team was lifted by strong outside shooting from Rose Koch, while the boys pulled away late thanks to a big performance from Ethan Hanson.

The lady Pirates tipped first and struggled early against the Columbians, whose center had a considerable height advantage and scored the first eight points for the team.

But the Pirates came out hot, hitting five threes in the first quarter and taking a 19-13 lead on a buzzer beating three from Kennedy Fletcher who had 14 points in the game.

Neah-Kah-Nie also began attacking the paint after initial hesitancy, leading to many fouls against the Columbians, which put NeahKah-Nie into the bonus shortly into the second.

In addition to continuing to attack the basket during the quarter, the Pirates ratcheted up their defensive pressure, holding the Columbians to just four points in the second. They achieved this by shutting down Rainier’s attempts to feed their center the ball, repeatedly jumping passing lanes for turnovers leading to transition opportunities.

Two threes from Koch, who had 18 points in the game, propelled Neah-KahNie’s offense in the quarter and at the half they held a 34-17 lead.

The game slowed considerably after the break, as both teams came out of the locker room cold.

But after the halfway point of the period, Rainier started to chip into the Pirates’ lead by working the paint and had narrowed the margin to 39-32 by the end of the quarter. At that point, the Pirates

refocused and started driving to the basket again and drawing fouls.

The game remained tight, with Neah-Kah-Nie leading by five with four minutes remaining, and four with two to go, but the Pirates held on for the 51-45 win.

With the win, the Pirates finished the regular season with a 13-8 overall record and 6-6 mark in league play.

They travel to Riverdale on February 13, for a matchup with the Mavericks to tip their league tournament.

Neah-Kah-Nie can secure a spot in the state tournament with a win against the Mavericks.

A lengthy senior night ceremony recognizing the nine boys’ players who will be graduating in the spring preceded the tip of their game, which saw an altered lineup in recognition of the night.

The all-senior lineup struggled at a size disadvantage to start the game but managed to keep the score close, trailing 5-9 halfway through the frame.

When the regular starters came in at that junction, it spurred a small run, led by Eddie Loza and Espen White who scored 12 combined points to put NeahKah-Nie up 16-15 after one.

Rainier responded with a run of their own to start the second, taking a 24-20 lead with four minutes remaining. Anthony Allen kept Neah-Kah-Nie in the game as he posted eight of his 13 points in the quarter, leaving the Pirates behind 28-33 at the half.

After the break, NeahKah-Nie shifted its focus to attacking the rim and found success with that approach.

They were led by Hanson, who scored all 19 of his points in the second half, including three consecutive baskets at the midway point of the quarter that put the Pirates up 38-37 with four minutes remaining.

The Columbians battled back, but two late threes

from Ivan Dante, who scored 11 for the Pirates, helped stretch the lead to 5145 heading into the fourth. Neah-Kah-Nie came out red hot in the fourth, scoring eight unanswered to start the period and holding the Columbians scoreless for the first four minutes.

This boosted the Pirates’ lead to 61-45, with the final score 72-55.

The boys team finished the season with a 13-8 record overall, and thanks to a three-game, season-ending

win streak, improved their league record to 7-5.

They will take on Yamhill-Carlton on February 13 at home to start their league tournament, with a win securing a spot in the state tournament and a matchup with the winner of a Riverdale showdown against Corbett.

CARE board announces resignation of Executive Director

Dusti Linnell

Chair CARE Board of Directors

It is with sadness, and gratitude, that the Board of Directors announces the departure of Peter Starkey as Executive Director of CARE.

Peter has accepted a new opportunity as Executive Director of FolkTime in Portland, his last day will be February 16th. Peter joined CARE in 2020 during a time of significant challenges for CARE and the community combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Peter’s leadership, CARE was presented with some tough

decisions, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite these challenges, he has remained laser-focused on our mission to “foster changes that create healthier, more resilient communities throughout Tillamook County and empower people as they work to meet their immediate, basic needs.” These accomplishments include working with Tillamook County to establish the Coordinated Homeless Response Office at CARE and ushering in one of our biggest growth opportunities. In 2023, CARE will reintroduce a no-barrier shelter to Tillamook County,

providing shelter to the most vulnerable members of our community. This new endeavor is a testament to

CARE’s commitment to housing and homelessness and our expanded role as the county’s Coordinated Homeless Response Office. Peter leaves CARE in a strong position for continued growth and service to our wider Tillamook community. “Together, we have accomplished so much,” states Peter, “and I am proud to have been a part of the team that has helped CARE continue to grow and evolve into the agency it is today. CARE is strong today because of the hard work of a dedicated team, board, and our community!”

“On behalf of Board of Directors” comments Dusti

Linnell, Board Chair “we want to wish Peter the best of luck as he continues his career. We are appreciative of the dedication and enthusiasm he has given CARE, and his willingness to take on every challenge we have faced. We are confident that this transition will be smooth for our staff, clients, and generous supporters. We look forward to continuing to serve our mission and meeting the needs of Tillamook County’s most vulnerable.”

The mission of CARE is to foster changes that create healthier, more resilient communities throughout Tillamook County, and em-

power people as they work to meet their immediate, basic needs.

The CARE Board of Directors has already engaged with an executive search consultant and will be commencing a nationwide search for CARE’s next executive director immediately. It is the Board of Directors’ priority to maintain a stable and effective organization, and there will be no impact to CARE programs or services during this interim period. CARE will share the job announcement soon, please visit www.careinc.org or email recruitment@careinc.org

‘No Treaties for the North Coast’ history presentation at NCRD

In the 1850s, treaties were developed with the tribes of the north Oregon coast amid settlement of the territory. However, the treaties, which took years for Anson Dart, the first superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Oregon Territory, to negotiate, were later opposed by the Secretary of the Interior, and never ratified by the U.S. Congress. This led to decades of confusion that had huge impacts on the lives of local native peoples.

Join Dr. David Lewis on March 4, 3:30 pm at North County Recreation District (NCRD) to hear the story of these experiences, including forced removal from native lands. Dr. Lewis is an Assistant Professor, School of Language, Culture and Society at Oregon State University, and conducts ethnohistory research. He is a member of the Grand Ronde Tribe, where he managed the Cultural Resources Department, and cultural archives and exhibits. He publishes Quartux, the Journal of Critical Indigenous Anthropology about Oregon Territory and north coast tribal history. The presentation is sponsored by Nehalem Valley Historical Society; $10 fee at the door supports NVHS educational programs.

WORKS VEGETATION MAN-

AGEMENT NO SPRAY ZONE

AGREEMENT TO: ALL TILLAMOOK COUNTY RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS Tillamook County Public Works (TCPW) no longer has an operator to conduct weed spraying within the county rights of way and intends to contract this work for 2023. The contractor is required to have a valid Department of Agriculture license specific to right of way applications. We have found that many properties have been sold and new owners no longer maintain vegetation within the right-of-way as may have been done in the past even though signs are present. A field review of no spray signs revealed that there are many different types of no spray signs from homemade to commercially produced signs. A review of prior no spray agreements identified that very few are currently valid. Spray contractors that have a valid license will not have the local knowledge of who has been effectively managing weeds and will need to use standard signs to guide them. TCPW has purchased standard no spray signs like other counties to inform the contractor where to avoid spraying. An agreement between the property owner and TCPW is required. There is no fee for the first set of new signs provided that an agreement is signed in 2023 per the County

TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE

T.S. No.: OR-22-938401-BF Reference is made to that certain deed made by, JUSTIN HILBY, AND SHAWN MARIE MALLON, HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THOMAS MICHAEL MALLON, TENANTS IN COMMON as Grantor to FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY OF OREGON, as trustee, in favor of WACHOVIA MORTGAGE CORPORATION,, as Beneficiary, dated 6/30/2005, recorded

7/26/2005, in official records of TILLAMOOK County, Oregon in book/reel/volume No. and/or as fee/file/instrument/microfilm/reception number 2005-006500 and subsequently assigned or transferred by operation of law to Specialized Loan Servicing LLC covering the following described real property situated in said County, and State. APN: R1A929CA08700 ALL THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY SITUATED IN CITY OF TILLAMOOK IN THE COUNTY OF TILLAMOOK AND STATE OF OREGON AND BEING DESCRIBED IN A DEED DATED 01/09/1997 AND RECORDED 01/14/1997 IN BOOK 383, PAGE 889 AMONG THE LAND RECORDS OF THE COUNTY AND STATE SET FORTH ABOVE AND REFERENCED AS FOLLOWS: LOT 2, BLOCK 3, EASTGATE FIRST ADDITION SUBDIVISION. Commonly known as: 4204 FILBERT ST, TILLAMOOK, OR 971412830 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE:

$20,795.67 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $116,711.76 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to

pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 9/1/2020, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off.

Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents.

Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 5/10/2023 at the hour of 9:00AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Front Entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, located at 201 Laurel Avenue, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 County of TILLAMOOK, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property,
