nited States Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici hosted a town hall at Tillamook High School on March 14, before taking a tour of the soon-to-open Administration and

Health Sciences Building at Tillamook Bay Community College.

During the town hall, constituents largely voiced anxiety about various actions being taken by the administration of President Donald Trump, with Bonamici encouraging them to maintain hope and continue to

resist.

“They want us to give up, they want us to be overwhelmed and say, ‘it’s too big, we can’t address it, we’re just going to have to deal with it,’” Bonamici said of the Trump administra-

tate Senator Suzanne Weber finished her final legislative session in Salem on a high note, helping to get several bills close to her heart passed, including an amendment to restrictions on localities’ use of transient lodging tax she has fought for throughout her time at the capitol.

Weber said that the short session had been jam-packed with action and that she felt a lot of substantive policy issues had been addressed after a relative lack of action in 2025’s regular session.

“I think the whole session was extremely exciting, because it was a short amount of time and there were a lot of intense issues that were brought forward that needed to either be resolved or put on the back burner until the long session, See weber, Page A2

held annually in Portland and with support from an Oregon Department of Environmental Quality grant. This year’s festival relied on federal funding that TEP receives to support its operations, as well as a grant from the Roundhouse Foundation.

fter the completion of this year’s short session in early March, State Representative Cyrus Javadi recently sat down with the Headlight Herald to discuss happenings in Salem.

Javadi’s biggest success was the passage of a bill amending restrictions on transient lodging tax (TLT) revenues to allow localities more flexibility with that income, while he said that looking forward, he was anticipating the need for a conversation about updating the fundamentals of Oregon’s tax system to stabilize government revenues across the state.

With the passage of the TLT reform bill, local governments will be able to use 50% of the revenues from TLT for general government purposes beginning in July, up from the current 30%, while the rest of the revenue will

Oregon Dairy Farmers Association Presents Rita Hogan with 2026 Community Service Award Tillamook Dairy Farmer Celebrated for a Lifetime of Community Leadership and Dairy Advocacy

T

he Oregon Dairy Farmers Association (ODFA) is pleased to announce Rita Hogan of Misty Meadow Dairy in Tillamook as the recipient of the 2026 ODFA Community Service Award, honoring her lifelong commitment to the dairy community and to the people she has inspired along the way.

Rita’s connection to dairy farming began on a memorable blind date with a dairy farmer. What she once imagined as a fairy-tale lifestyle quickly revealed itself as something even better: real, purposeful, and rooted in hard work.

Salem, with the senator saying she had tried in each of her six sessions in Salem to change the split that currently restricts localities to using just 30% of TLT revenues for general government purposes. This year’s successful bill, sponsored

by State Representative Cyrus Javadi, will reduce that percentage to 50%.

The remaining 50% will still need to be dedicated to funding tourism marketing, tourist-related projects and a category newly added in the reform bill: small business grants Weber credited the bill’s passage to hard work by staff in the offices of legislators representing communities highly impacted by tourism, as well as the support of the Association of Oregon Counties and League of Oregon Cities,

each of which sent members to the capitol to lobby.

While the bill did get across the finish line and Weber said she received a congratulatory text from Governor Tina Kotek, the accomplishment did not come without hiccups, as Weber said she did have to “put on my grouchy grandma personality” several times to convince her colleagues to support the bill.

Weber was also excited about the passage of a bill that will make it easier for houses that are destroyed in natural disasters to be rebuilt, even if local planning departments have lost the original paperwork permitting the destroyed house.

Weber was inspired to sponsor the legislation after a family in a portion of her district in rural Multnomah

and so, sorting those out, working through those things was pretty intense,” Weber said.

Transient lodging tax (TLT) reform has been a key focus for Weber throughout her time in

County lost their 1977 house and two family members in a 2023 fire and were told that it would take three years to rebuild when the county planning department could not find their original plans. Weber said that she had requested a signed copy of the bill to give to the family that inspired it.

Another bill that Weber cosponsored that will allow school staff to administer epinephrin using application methods other than needles also passed and has already been signed into law and enacted.

Weber also touted success in passing a bill to support horse racing tracks at fairgrounds across the state that includes $1 million in funding for the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, one which secured funding for the Future Farmers of America and another that increased penalties for false reports to emergency dispatch triggering heightened law enforcement responses, a practice known as “swatting.”

Weber said that she believed the flurry of activity in Salem this session could be attributed to legislators looking to burnish their resumes in an election year.

“I think it was really just that people wanted to have some bills that they were able to campaign on, so they were more willing to do business this year than in past years,” Weber said.

at the County Fair and helps coordinate the fair’s Dairy Dessert, Pee Wee Showmanship, and Milk Chugging contests. For every June Dairy Day celebration, she hosts visiting Dairy Princess Ambassadors for breakfast, a rose planting ceremony, the parade, and a ceremonial ride into the Pacific Ocean with the Oregon Coast Guard.

Rita served as President of Oregon Dairy Women in 2011-2012, helping transform the organization into a more interactive, handson program. The organization honored her leadership with its Appreciation Award. She also served on the Tillamook County Fair Board, where she volunteered thousands of hours and served as President for multiple terms.

“Rita has led by example and impacted every organization and project she has been involved with, connecting people of all walks of life,” said Tami Kerr, Executive Director of the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association. “She is the strong thread that keeps her community and her family closely knit.”

The Oregon Dairy Farmers Association congratulates Rita Hogan on this richly deserved recognition.

ed measure on a transportation funding package approved by Democrats last year, Weber said she was disappointed in its passage and that she hoped future transportation funding solutions would not include payroll tax increases or such weighty burdens on truckers.

Looking forward, Weber said that she is working to arrange tours of a new paper mill in St. Helens and the site of a proposed biodiesel project in Columbia County, and that she will represent the district at the legislative days scheduled three times before the end of the year in Salem, as well as continuing to field constituent concerns.

Weber said that she is mulling a run for Mayor of Tillamook, an office she held prior to being elected state representative in 2020, though she has not yet made a final decision.

“I haven’t decided yet for sure, even though people are asking me all the time if I would do that, we’ll see” Weber said.

Weber does plan to continue serving on the board of directors at Tillamook Bay Community College and is interested in serving on the board at the Tillamook Family Counseling Center after becoming interested in mental health issues during her time in Salem.

Reflecting on her tenure in the legislature, Weber thanked everyone who had voted for her saying, “I am really grateful to everyone who voted for me, because they gave me an opportunity to learn and experience and to impact where I live in an even bigger way than I ever had before.”

Weber also encouraged citizens to become more active in their local governments, saying that learning how things worked was crucial to solving issues that arise and that she felt there was a distinct lack of civic knowledge in the populace today.

“I really encourage people to look into running for office and finding out what’s all involved in it because I think that’s part of what we’ve been missing is people haven’t stepped up and run for these positions,” Weber said. “Then, all of a sudden, they think that they see that there’s all these problems and so they’ve got to go in there and solve them but they really don’t know what’s going on.”

universal healthcare.

Bonamici also said that she was interested in looking at the possibility of instituting term limits on supreme court justices and changing the confirmation process for justices to try to introduce accountability for nominees who lie about their intentions.

In a press availability, the Headlight Herald asked Bonamici why she and other Democrats continued to focus almost entirely on Trump after a decade in which that strategy has yielded poor returns for the party rather than highlighting bipartisan work like that taking place on a housing bill this month. Bonamici responded that while her office communicated about those things in newsletters and other forums, constituents at town halls were not concerned about Trump.

“We just passed the bipartisan NASA authorization, there are those things happening but that’s not what people are concerned about right now,” Bonamici said. “They’re concerned about ICE raids, they’re concerned about the war, they’re concerned about the rising costs. And the fact that there might be a bipartisan bill, even though it’s good, great, that’s fine, but that’s not what they’re worried about.”

Garibaldi Mayor Katie Findling tendered her resignation at the city council’s regular meeting on March 16, citing concerns about legal and institutional risks created by the actions of council.

Council also received an update on the mold situation in city hall, learning from City Manager Jake Boone that asbestos testing was needed before the process could proceed.

Boone explained that with mold repairs necessitating accessing areas inside the building’s walls, any asbestos present would need to be remediated as part of repairs, which Boone said would hurt financially and take a while.

Findling’s resignation came following a lengthy executive session of the council, during which they reviewed documents exempt from public inspection, and in her announcement, Findling mentioned issues with the council’s current direction, without going into specifics.

“I want to be clear that this decision comes down to governance and process,” Findling said. “I believe the direction the council is moving creates legal and institutional risk for the city, and I cannot in good conscience lend my office to that course.”

Findling took over as mayor in late August 2023, following the resignation of Tim Hall amid a recall campaign targeting him.

When Findling took over, she had been assisting with city manager duties on a part time basis as well and soon helped the city secure the services of John Schempf to serve as city manager, though his tenure lasted less than a year.

Findling won election to the mayoralty in November 2024, running unopposed, and was set to face the voters again this

November.

Findling’s resignation followed that of Councilor Sandy Tyrer, her mother, on March 13, and left the city council with just three members, a bare quorum.

The remaining councilors voted to declare the council seat vacated by Tyrer and mayor’s position vacant and to accept applications to fill them until the end of the year.

the proposal’s impacts on survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence, saying that it put an undue burden on them to maintain documents in moments of trauma. “When someone’s fleeing domestic violence, they don’t go to their cabinet to try to find their original birth certificate and their passport, they’re fleeing violence,” Bonamici said.

Constituents returned repeatedly to asking Bonamici about the perceived ineffectiveness of the Democratic response to the administration’s actions and asked for advice on how they could contribute to resisting the administration themselves.

Bonamici told them to remain engaged by going to events like the town hall, encouraging acquaintances to vote and participating in protest rallies against the administration, and defended Democrats’ response, saying that there was more collaboration within the party than at any other point in her 14 years in Washington.

tion’s high rate of activity.

“That’s unacceptable. We have to rise up, we have to be in the street, and we have to also show that we are supporting each other.”

Bonamici began the meeting by awarding a check for $2 million to Port of Garibaldi Board Member Val Folkema, to support engineering for reinforcement of the port’s seawall.

Bonamici then addressed attendees, saying that the first year of the Trump administration had seen her office receive more than 220,000 calls and messages from constituents, many of whom were concerned by the administration’s actions.

Similarly concerned, Bonamici said that she has been active in her attempts to oppose policies unpopular with her constituents, citing her protests outside of executive branch agencies, yes vote on a recent war powers resolution that would require congressional approval to continue military operations in Iran and votes forced on issues like extending subsidies for healthcare and cutting agencies at the Department of Labor. “What we’re doing is everything we can through the mobilization, the litigation, the legislation that we’re introducing, whether we’re forcing a vote or putting our values out there,” Bonamici said.

In response to a student who asked about the high costs of education, Bonamici voiced her support for debt-free public universities. “The next generation has historically had a future better than the last, that’s not happening right now, I hear it from young people all the time that they’re afraid they can’t go to college,” Bonamici said.

“You should have a path to success for everybody and if they want to go public, they should not have to take on debt.”

Bonamici also lambasted the proposed Save Bill, which aims to institute national voting guidelines including a ban on voting by mail and identification requirements. Bonamici took special issue with

Clean Water Festival

From Page A1

Fourth grade students from each of the county’s three school districts attend the festival, with home-schooled and private school students also invited. After arriving at the camp in the morning, the students split into groups and made their way around one of two circuits comprising six stations with various activities to teach about clean water.

Stations included a game where one group of students simulated the tide bringing in marine debris

while another cleaned the beach, one simulating salmon migration along with its attendant challenges and another where students played a drop of water, travelling through many different possible phases of the water cycle.

Students from each of the county’s three high schools volunteered at the festival, with some staffing stations and others offering interpretation services for Spanish-speaking participants.

The festival also featured a visit from Claudia Chinook, a 30-foot-long model Chinook Salmon owned by the Upper Nehalem Watershed Council, which students were able to walk through following completion of the salmon lifecycle game.

Volunteers also gath-

ered the night before the festival at the camp to commemorate the 25-year anniversary, sharing dinner and stories from festivals past.

In total, 90 volunteers participated in the festival this year, representing the Bird Alliance of Oregon, Columbia River Maritime Museum, Consejo Hispano, Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS, Green Wave Co., Headlands Coastal Lodge and Spa, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Water Resources Department, Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, OSU Extension Juntos Afuera, Seaside Aquarium, Tillamook Bay Community College, Tillamook Pioneer Museum, Tillamook Forest Center, Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation District, Twin Rocks Friends Camp, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, US Forest Service, Venturing Vows and First Security Bank.

remain dedicated to tourism promotion and tourist-related facilities. The reform bill also added a provision that will allow restricted funds to be used for grants for touristfacing businesses, with Javadi explaining it will be up to localities to determine the specifics of those grants.

Javadi said that the bill’s passage, which amended the statute regulating TLT for the first time since it was originally codified in 2003, marked a step in the right direction as it came to giving localities more discretion over tax dollars but that he hoped to have further discussions about the split in the future. Javadi argues that other states with no restrictions on lodging tax incomes, like Ohio, New York and California, outperform Oregon when it comes to tourism visits and revenue, belying

arguments that the tax restrictions are necessary.

The bill reforming the TLT also included new reporting requirements for local governments as well as the destination management organizations and chambers with whom they partner to manage the funds. Javadi said that even the general data now available showed that many of the partner groups were not spending all the funds annually, including the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, which Javadi said puts around $500,000 of its annual $2 million budget into reserves, and that having more data would give a better idea of the efficacy of their spending.

“When I look at the tax forms that get filed for the non-profits, it’s laid out how much is coming in and going out, but it’s not very detailed on the money going out, it’s very general, and I still think we need more clarity there,” Javadi said.

Outside of the TLT reform, Javadi said that he was proud of the deal reached to guarantee a loan for the Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay, allowing the facility to remain open. Javadi said that while guaranteeing the loan would require around $1 million annually that is coming out of the unclaimed property fund and previously went to the common school fund, the hospital’s importance to the community and costs its closing would incur warranted the

support.

“We ultimately decided that keeping healthcare and hospitals or infrastructure is just as important as the schools, and if we lost that hospital, the impact on the community would trickle through everything and we would lose a lot more. It would end up costing the state far more than $1 million a year if we didn’t do it,” Javadi said.

As for the bill moving a voter referendum on a transportation funding package passed last year from November to May, Javadi said that while he had supported the bill so legislators will know the outcome sooner, he thought it represented a too-common situation where politics took precedence over good policy.

“I just think there’s too much of that where we play too much around with the politics of things, like what does it take to win the next election instead of what does it take to run the State of Oregon,” Javadi said.

After the legislature removed several tax cuts for businesses included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed

by Republicans last year to help cover a deficit in the state’s budget, Javadi said that he believes further conversations about decoupling will continue next year. Javadi said that he supports a complete decoupling of Oregon’s definition of adjusted gross income, so that the state can better

control and predict its tax revenues, without changes in the federal definition creating instability.

Javadi said that he expected decoupling would be used to fully fund state agencies in next year’s budget, but that on a more fundamental level, he felt the difficulties around funding state agencies and services will necessitate a major reevaluation of Oregon’s approach to taxation in the coming years.

Javadi argued that situations like the voter referral of the transportation tax package would continue to be a problem moving forward, and that with income taxes increasing at a rate insufficient to meet the growth in government expenses, an alternate solution would be needed. That solution, Javadi believes, is phasing out Oregon’s income tax, except on high earners, in favor of a sales tax with exceptions for food and other necessities. That tax regime would closely resemble that in Washington State and Javadi said a sales tax would track more closely with inflation than the income tax, allowing the state to stop playing a constant game of catch up. “(We need to) look at trying to make it first revenue neutral, but then as the price of goods increases over time, start to peg our tax revenue to something that’s actually floating with the general cost of business services,” Javadi said.

sletters to the Editor Thanks for proclamations Many thanks to the City Councils of Bay City, Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler and Rockaway Beach, for unanimously passing proclamations that declare each jurisdiction is a safe and welcoming community - affirming humanity, dignity, and constitutional principles.

Kudos to all who testified at the city council meetings or submitted letters in support of passing the Proclamations.

Their heartfelt words were compelling and inspirational. I’m proud to see so many of our residents standing up to honor the Constitution, to insist upon the safety and well-being of every resident, citizen and immigrant alike, and condemning the unconstitutional and abhorrent behavior of ICE.

The proclamations provide a framework to ensure civil protections for everyone.

Proud of Trump To the Editor, How proud we can all be of our president. Now we can add “War Criminal” to con man and felon in his bio.

Trump has launched an illegal war of choice, circumventing congress, with no real defined purpose or proposed outcome. First, it was eliminating the nuclear threat, even though he told us that it was already “completely and totally obliterated” in his last set of air strikes in June. Guess not?

Then he said we had to have regime change. But now he’s walking that back

hoa, who got wet?

A reliable source, neighbor Sonya Thompson who empties her rain gauge every 24 hours, reported 8.5” of rain from the morning of March 10 to the morning of March 14. The usual spots flooded in Tillamook, but here in Cape Meares we made it to the last day of that atmospheric river before a tree fell on Bayocean Road and took a power line down with it. Capt. Pete called the Tillamook PUD, and their prompt response had us back up and running in under 3-1/2 hours; thank you, PUD. During the power outage, those with General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) in Cape Meares kept in touch on channel 20; a few people posted in the Cape Meares private group on social media site MeWe; and limited phone

calls and texts rounded out the communications. Good job, villagers.

Electric-blue “by-thewind” sailors carpeted our beach recently. These little jellyfish, officially called Velella velella, drift with the wind using their clear, gelatinous sails. Armadas of the critters stretch for miles at sea and when the winds are westerly, they can be blown ashore in great numbers. March saw much of the Pacific Northwest coastline carpeted in velella.

Beachcombers know velella are harbingers of glass floats. Capt. Pete and I were out there, searching for treasures as we walked along—and sometimes in—the bright blue blanket of by-the-wind sailors. We found nary a thing except for plastic bottles, which we dutifully put in a white

Of course, the regime has now replaced the Ayatollah with his son, an even more hard liner.

But hey, at least we took out that girl’s elementary school. Our Tomahawk missile made quick work of that threat to our national security.

Trump promised he’d stop wars, not start them.

He promised he’d put America first.

Between Trump, Rubio and Hegseth’s conflicting statements, we have no idea why this war was started or he hopes to achieve.

But it turns out Putin is the real winner in this debacle. Trump announced today he is lifting sanctions against Russia to “ease the oil crisis”. The crisis trump created. Now Putin will be swimming in cash to pay for his war against Ukraine.

and MJ. This is spring whale watch week. Volunteers with the Oregon Whale Watch program will be at the Cape Meares Lighthouse March 21–29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., to help visitors spot whales and answer questions. Thousands of gray whales migrate north toward Alaska this time of year, passing right along our coast. Get your binoculars out to look for spouts, breaches and flukes.

Spike and Randy Klobas are hosting a community potluck at the Barbara Bennett Community Center on March 28 at 6 p.m. The theme is “Thanksgiving for Spring”—because they have two leftover turkeys to roast. Bring a side dish or dessert for eight and come participate in the feast.

The Cape Meares Book Group will meet at 2 p.m. on Monday, March 30, at the Barbara Bennett Community Center to discuss this month’s read, “Long Island” by Colm Toibin—a sequel to the book “Brooklyn” and one of the book club kit selections that the Cape Meares group donated to the Tillamook County library. All Cape Meares readers are welcome to attend. If you have questions about the book club, please email Mary Gordon at capemearesca@ gmail.com.

There is a change to the date for the coffee house at the Barbara Bennett Community Center in April.

It will now be April 12, 9:30–11:30 a.m., instead of April 19. Same good hot beverages and tasty pastries; join your neighbors for a convivial morning.

As you probably have seen in recent weeks, there has been no Bay City fencepost column. That is because I have been away, visiting my mother in England. I was gone for almost six weeks, and it’s taken me a while to settle back into my routine here. There is an eight-hour time difference between here and there, so getting the old sleep pattern back on track is always difficult. It was wonderful to spend time with my other,

Stay Ahead of Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancerrelated deaths among men, but it’s also one of the most preventable. Regular screenings can detect problems early, often before symptoms show up. According to the US Preventive Services Task Force, all adults should receive their first screening for colorectal cancer soon after turning 45 and then continue screening on regular intervals. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer, it’s important to talk with your doctor sooner to decide which screening option is right for you. Most insurance plans, including Oregon Health Plan, cover these screenings, making it easier to stay on top of your health.

Mark your calendar for the annual State of the City event, to be held on Saturday April 18th from 2 until 4 p.m. The mayor will give an update on the events of

the past year and upcoming year, as well as present the John Gettman Volunteer Service Award.

This family-friendly event is open to all at no cost.

On the May 2026 ballot, there will be a measure that would dissolve the Tillamook Fire District and the Bay City Fire Department and create one, new district that would serve approximately 18,385 permanent residents in the Tillamook and Bay City areas.

Stay tuned for more information of this vital ballot measure.

city of Garibaldi. Councilor Tyrer helped us through the last budget process and provided astute and relevant comments. Mayor Findling spent a great deal of her personal time acting as the city manager when that position was vacant years ago.

She worked tirelessly with the city staff on finances, achieving uniformity in the coding of the transactions.

She worked diligently on multiple financial-related issues and projects, creating a tracking system to facilitate getting things done. She ran for the mayor position after being the president of the council when the preceding mayor resigned, filling that position so the city could move forward.

I must acknowledge that there have been sharp differences of opinion in the last few months within the council. But that does not take away from the positive work that they provided the city.

Thank you, ladies. It takes a lot to volunteer for the council positions. It takes time, a great deal of thought and even some angst over the decisions that have to be made.

The remaining members of the council have all taken a deep breath. I am hopeful of more inclusivity, openness, and transparency within city government. There are now two open positions on the council. If you are interested in helping to oversee this fine little city of ours, please let us know! Yes, it takes some time. Some of

ries came from the Friday night bowling league. She also enjoyed her weekly “socials” to Curves, playing bunco, line dancing and bingo at the Eagles, slots and many concerts at the casinos with Tom and Sheryl, and went on several cruises and trips with the Expeditions travel group. She especially enjoyed going to the Tillamook County Fair and was a Tillamook Pioneer.

She also kept close track of Major League Baseball and her favorite team, the New York Yankees.

Due to deteriorating health issues, Fay moved to Woodland, WA in 2014 and lived with her daughter for a year. Then, with eyesight failing and health issues mounting, she moved into the Woodland Assisted Living Facility.

She quickly made friends & sat in the dining room at what became known as “the fun table”. She eventually was moved to the Woodland Care & Rehab Center, where she passed in her sleep after happily reminiscing with family. She was ready to see Ralph again.

Fay is survived by their 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren. At her request, a small, private service will be held in the near future.

oan was born July 19, 1937 to Paul and Nadera Suter. It was Joan’s mother Nadera (Moon) and her family homesteaded Moon Creek in Cloverdale, Oregon.

Joan grew up in Tillamook, spending a lot of her childhood with John and Leona Burbank. She attended South Prairie Grade School, later graduating from Tillamook High School, where she met Robert Hurliman. She married Robert June 18, 1955 and they welcomed their first of seven children in December of 1956. They made a home in Bay City, where they welcomed 3 more children. Moving to the homestead up Yellow Fir Road, Joan and Robert had another child, followed six years later by twins. She cared for her children while embarking on a new career as a Rural Mail Carrier substitute, later becoming full

time and retiring 24 years later. During these years she became chauffeur to many…driving the strawberry buses in summer time and taking kids to sporting events. When she wasn’t busy with that, she was part of bowling leagues, 4-H, and generally helping anyone that needed a hand.

She had a love for baking, canning, quilting, crafting, bingo (her number was fi-

nally called), playing games with friends, and planting gardens-especially dahlias.

Joan took to traveling in her retirement years, taking cruises with her daughters and friends. She was able to see Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbeans. She once traveled 22 states in a week with her daughters, to visit her sister in Georgia.

She was a lifetime member of the Eagles Auxiliary and Pioneer Association.

Joan was preceded in death by her husband Robert. She is survived by many- her children: Parry (Feenie) Hurliman, Stephanie Willis, Paul Hurliman, Mark Hurliman, Robert (Sandy) Hurliman, Holly Rico, and Heather Hurliman; five sisters, 14 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren.

ue Ann Carter, beloved wife of Robert Carter and mother of John, Benn and Jennifer, passed away peacefully and surrounded by her family in Beaverton, Oregon on March 10, 2026.

Born in Pomeroy, Washington on October 24, 1935 to Florence (McMonagle) and Dean Sherfey, Sue Ann grew up in Spokane, Washington where she discovered lifelong interests in playing the violin, collecting rocks, and reading books about history and distant lands.

As a University of Washington undergrad, Sue Ann met a UW Law School student named Robert “Bob” Carter when she was paired as a sorority sister with Bob’s sister Carla. The couple wed on June 21, 1958 in Spokane and began a love affair that lasted 67 years.

Beginning in 1964, the family spent time each summer in Oceanside, Oregon, where walking on the beach and collecting agates became a favorite pastime. Sue Ann also raised orchids, with three or four of them blooming

at any time. The family’s pets included a parakeet, cockatiel, several conures, two cockatoos, and a remarkable African Gray parrot named Winston, who still finishes each evening by mimicking Sue Ann’s voice and words to him at bedtime: “Nightynight!”

After Bob’s retirement in 1995, they moved to Oceanside and Sue Ann joined the North Oregon Coast Orchestra and performed for local high school musicals, including one that forced her to master the fine art of fiddling. Her artistic side was also visible in the beautiful

designs she embroidered onto clothing, seat cushions and wall hangings.

Bob and Sue Ann loved to travel the world together. They rode camels in Australia, explored the ruins of Egypt and Jordan, admired tropical flowers in Costa Rica, visited historic sites around Western Europe, and were eye witnesses to the 1986 “People Power” revolution in The Philippines. When they weren’t travelling, Sue Ann was a proud member of the Oceanside “Do Nothing Club,” which lived up to its name. She and Bob also enjoyed the town’s annual Fourth of July parade, which began right in front of their house. In 2024, Bob and Sue Ann moved into assisted living in Beaverton, Oregon, where she was regularly seen walking the hallways and greeting friends.

Sue Ann is survived by her husband and children John (Elaine), Benn (Leslie), and Jennifer Rowlen, as well as six grandchildren. The family plans a private gathering to honor her memory in Oceanside this spring.

D

avid Paul Scheetz, 75, of Tillamook, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2026.

Born in Portland, Oregon, David grew up surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest—a place he would call home his entire life. He answered the call to serve his country with pride as a member of the United States Army before beginning his career with the U.S. Post Office, where he worked for 35 years.

On October 25, 1969, David married the love of his life, Carol Aurelia Lawrence, beginning a beautiful partnership that would span 56 wonderful years. Together they built a family rooted in love and laughter. David was a devoted father to sons James Scheetz, Brian

Scheetz and daughter-inlaw Shanna Scheetz, and a proud grandfather to his nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Those who knew David will remember his incredible sense of humor and his ability to make anyone feel loved and

welcome. Whether sharing a well-timed joke or simply being present with his warm heart, David had a gift for lighting up a room. He believed in laughter, in kindness, and in loving people exactly as they were.

A celebration of David’s life will be scheduled for summer 2026, a fitting season to honor a man whose warmth brightened so many lives.

Cards or flowers may be sent to the family home at 6615 Brickyard Road, Tillamook, Oregon, where they will be received with gratitude.

Pelican Brewing Company to open 6th Oregon Coast location P

elican Brewing Company, the award-winning Oregon Coast brewery known for its coastal hospitality and innovative craft beers, has purchased a property in the small town of Yachats, the “gem of the Oregon coast.”

This will be Pelican’s sixth coastal location.

“We are delighted to expand our footprint and bring the Pelican experience to more of our coastal neighbors,” said Mary Jones, Pelican president and co-founder. “We look forward to sharing our next chapter with the community in Yachats.”

The future home of the brewpub, located along U.S. Highway 101, operated for the past year as the Whale’s Tail Diner, and for the prior 45 years as LeRoy’s Blue Whale.

Jeff Schons, who will lead the construction process, has a personal connection with the property: “We are truly excited to locate a Pelican in Yachats, where my mom lived for about 15 years. LeRoy’s was our go-to place for lunch whenever my wife, Mary, and I would visit, and I think mom would be really pleased to know that we will be the new owners and that we’ll be remembering her and those great times in that special place.”

The expansion to Yachats reflects Pelican’s commitment to investing in Oregon’s small towns, supporting vibrant communities and creating gathering places that celebrate the spirit of the Northwest.

Pelican plans to open the new location in the second half of 2026. More information will be available as renovation plans are finalized.

Commissioners support Grande Ronde reservation expansion Will Chappell

Headlight Editor

T

illamook County’s board of commissioners signed a letter of support for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde’s proposed acquisition of approximately 26,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land in the Siuslaw National Forest at their meeting on March 18.

The expansion would more than double the size of the reservation, and representatives from the tribe said that they planned to bring more active management to the land, achieving conservation and recreational goals they have prioritized on the more than 16,000 acres of land they currently manage.

Commissioners lauded the tribe’s management, saying that they believed approach style would lower wildfire risk, and said that they looked forward to strengthening their relationship with the tribes.

The expansion plans have been under discussion with the county for several months, with commissioners visiting the reservation in February, touring forest lands and visiting the community of Grande Ronde to learn about the tribes’ forest management ethos and other services.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell

introduced the tribal representatives who attended the March 18 meeting, explaining that the tribes were working on a piece of federal legislation with Oregon representatives to add the land. Bell said that the board was not being asked to make any decision but only for a letter of support.

Bell explained that the process is slightly complicated by the presence of Oregon and California Railroad (O&C) timberlands in the county and invited the tribal representatives to give further details.

Grande Ronde Tribal Council Chair Cheryle Kennedy introduced herself and Natural Resources Department Manager Colby Drake and Fish and Wildlife Program Manager Kelly Dirksen and clarified, before turning the presentation over to them.

Drake began by giving a brief history of the tribes and reservation, saying that the tribes’ original reservation had been terminated in the 1950s before being partially restored with just under 10,000 acres in 1988. Since then, the tribes have gone on to acquire a little more than 7,000 additional acres and today has 16,000 acres under management by the tribes’ natural resources department.

All those lands are governed by management plans that comply with and were approved by the federal government, Drake said, adding that the tribes take further steps than those required under law to help restore and conserve the forest ecosystem.

Given their successful track record in managing those lands, Drake said that the tribe had made the decision to try to add the additional 26,000 acres, believing they would be able to serve as better stewards than the U.S. Forest Service, which currently manages it as part of the Siuslaw National Forest.

Dirksen then gave some more specifics on the tribe’s history of land management. He said that after acquiring lands from the Bureau of Land Management and undertaking various fish passage enhancements like the replacement of 22 culverts, the tribe’s waterways now comprised four to six percent of annual salmon returns in the Willamette Valley, despite representing less than one one thousandth of the valley’s water volume.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar then jumped in to discuss the O&C land issue, as she represents the county on a board tasked with overseeing those lands.

Skaar explained that 18 counties across the state had O&C timberlands and received revenue off the lands based on a split proportional to the proportion of the total lands in each and that Tillamook County contains around 40,000 acres. 4,000 acres of the land the tribe is seeking to acquire in Tillamook County are O&C, Skaar explained, and there is a no-net loss provision in federal statute that requires any reduction in acreage be offset by a matching addition of comparable public land.

That must happen before the land can be transferred to the tribes and Skaar explained that it would be the responsibility of a staffer at the Forest Service to identify appropriate land, allowing it to be designated and reassigned in the same bill that deeds land to the tribes. Skaar said that the missing step at the moment was finding the appropriate staffer at the Forest Service to identify the replacement land.

Bell chimed in that while the county’s revenues from the O&C lands totaled just around $55,000 in years in which Secure Rural Schools Funding was approved, all dedicated to the county’s public works department for road work, even that small

figure was important in the county’s tight budget. Bell also noted that the county’s three school districts split another $20,000 in revenue from the forestlands in those years.

Bell also praised the tribally supported housing and mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities that she had toured in Grande Ronde, saying that she hoped Tillamook could partner with the tribes to help offer similar services to enrolled members living in the county. She also asked for slightly more detail on the tribes’ forest management strategy as it related to stand age diversity and the land they propose to acquire.

Kelly said that the tribes managed the forest to have sections in all stages that would naturally occur in the ecosystem, from young forests to old growth, and that their management provisions lead to older forest characteristics than are seen in forests prioritizing profits. Kelly said that this approach helped to support the variety of species that live in the forest, as they rely on different stages of the forest to survive.

As for the land targeted in the acquisition, Kelly said that while the tribes did not have data about the inventory, as feder-

ally managed land, it had probably been subject to a heavy harvest regime in the past and been planted with a density that created a competitive exclusion situation, as light reaching the forest floor was limited, making it a dead space biologically. Kelly said that the tribes would look to accelerate tree growth by moving away from that management paradigm, doing commercial thinning to allow increased light penetration.

Colby chimed in on the recreational impacts, saying that the tribes would maintain the same access practices as the federal government or expand access, and clarifying that the lands were held in trust and any changes to their management required approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Colby concluded by saying that tribal representatives had a meeting in Washington the next day with representatives from U.S. Forest Service and that they were seeking a letter of support for commissioners for the process including caveats applying to the O&C land process.

Commissioners unanimously voted in favor of signing such a letter, which County Counsel Bryan Libel said he would write based on the conversation.

Cheesemaker Golf Teams Open the Season Strong T

he Tillamook High School boys’ and girls’ golf teams have officially kicked off their 2026 season, with both squads showing early promise on the course.

The Cheesemakers are proud to call The Mook Golf Course their home this year, fielding a talented roster of 15 boys and ten girls.

The boys’ team opened its season on the road at Wildwood Golf Course, where senior Triton Faber led the way with a 79, followed closely by sophomore Jonah Corbus with an 81. The strong showing helped Tillamook secure a win over Scappoose to start the year on a high note.

On the girls’ side, the Cheesemakers launched their season at The Mook, highlighted by Ava Miller and Tatum Lancaster, who both earned top five finishes.

Next up for Tillamook golf is a trip to Eagle Crest in April, where both teams will prepare for a Cowapa League championship run later this spring.

Bobcat softball starts season strong

By Mike Weber

For The Headlight Herald

A

fter starting the season by splitting their first two nonleague games, the No. 8-ranked Nestucca High Bobcats are undoubtedly one of the most improved teams in OSAA Class 2A/1A softball this year.

The Bobcats finished 4-8 (6-19 overall) in the five-team Special District

1 standings a year ago and tied for third place with the Gaston High Greyhounds (4-8 SD1, 7-14 overall).

The Bobcats, guided

by Coach Megan Deam, lost only one senior (Rylee Armstrong) from a year ago and have 11 of 12 players returning from last year’s squad. They’ll have leadership provide by the senior duo of Taylor Knight and Maddie Nielsen.

“I think we’ll have a

good chance to be one of the top contenders for the league title this year,” said a confident Coach Deam.

“We have a four returning all-league award winners from last year with Maddie (second team), Piper Armstrong, Mckennah Macdonald (second team) and Maddy Olson (honorable mention). With lots of returning players, we feel like we’ll have a chance to finish in at least third

place or even higher in the league standings this year.”

Piper Armstrong is one of the top players on the team, earning the SD1 PItcher-of-the-Year Award last year along with a first team selection.

In their season opening 15-0 home win Mar. 16 over the Class 3A Amity High Warriors (1-1), Armstrong threw a one-hitter with 10 strikeouts to help

lead the Bobcats to the victory.

The Bobcats then faced a strong team in a March 18 road contest at the No. 1-ranked Toledo High Boomers (2-0), losing lost 11-2. The Bobcats will resume their 24-game schedule following spring break, with their next nonleague contest March 31 at 4:30 p.m. at home versus the Class 4A Tillamook High Cheesemakers (0-1).

Armstrong and Nielsen are expected to lead the Bobcats offense since they’re the top two hitters on the team this year.

The Bobcats begin their 12-game SD1 schedule April 14 at home versus the defending league champion Clatskanie High Tigers (1-2). The Bobcats are hoping to achieve their goal of reaching the state playoffs for the first time since 2013.

Nestucca baseball looks to grow

Nestucca students compete in bridge building competition O

Aaron Pearn

n March 7th, 2026, Nestucca High School, Principles of Engineering class competed in the 2026 Oregon Regional Bridge Building Competition held at University of Portland.

Eight Nestucca students competed in the Bridge Building Competition of which all finished among the top ten placers at the event, which in-

cluded over 40 bridge entrees from students across the State.

Nestucca Seniors Trystin Rose and Noe Lopez Solis placed first and second respectively in the Oregon Regional Competition, qualifying them for the International Bridge Competition to be held on April 25, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois.

The bridges are made from 3/32” square basswood sticks and held together with wood glue adhesive. Each year

bridge design specifications change to vary loading locations, bridge heights, spans and support locations.

This year’s winning bridge designed and constructed by Trystin Rose had a mass of 9.91 grams and held a total load of 41.1 kilograms or 90.6 pounds prior to failure. This is the 5th year in a row that a Nestucca Student has won the Oregon Regional Bridge Building Competition.

ollowing a disappointing season in 2025, the Nestucca High Bobcats are hoping to be much improved this year in OSAA Class 2A/1A baseball.

The Bobcats finished with a dismal 2-13 record (5-18 overall) last year in the six-team Special District 1, good for fifth place in the league standings.

Nestucca lost four graduated seniors a year ago and former Coach John Sousa resigned as head coach.

Former Neah-KahNie High Coach Rob Herder takes over in his first year guiding the Bobcats baseball team.

“We have a couple of really strong players, I love the mix of kids that we have,” said Herder. “We have three freshmen who are playing baseball for the first time ever, but our juniors and seniors are all really pretty solid players.”

The Bobcats have their fair share of experience with leadership from seniors Jaxon Jensen, Eli Love, Eli Gregory and Vince Lewis.

“Eli is one of our best players, but he missed most of last season with an injury,”

said Herder. Jaxon is another terrific player, and he’ll likely earn an all-league award this year.

The Bobcats (1-1) opened their 24-game schedule with two nonleague games last week. They won their March 16 season opener at home in five innings 17-0 over the Class 3A Amity High Warriors (0-2). The Bobcats then followed with a 3-2 road loss March 18 to the No. 4-ranked Toledo High Boomers (2-0).

“They (Warriors) made us look a little better than we are, but we still put a lot of balls in play, and we had a bundle of hits,” said Herder.

The pitching trio of starter Eli Love and relievers Owen Love and Jaxon Jensen combined for a no-hitter with 13 strikeouts.

The Bobcats dominated the contest offensively and defensively and they had a total of 11 hits.

Jaxon Jensen (2for-3, double, four RBI) led the offense, along with solid hitting too by junior Brady Hurliman (2for-3, two RBI), junior Jace Jensen (2-for-2, double, two RBI) and Eli Love (3-for-3, double, two RBI).

“Owen and Jace are not only two of our key players this year as juniors, but

they’ll also be stars of the team next year as well,” said Herder.

The Bobcats will compete in a Spring Break tournament March 23-26 in Nevada. They’ll return and then play their next nonleague home contest Mar. 31 versus the Scio High Loggers (1-2).

The Bobcats begins their 12-game SD1 schedule Mar. 14 at home versus the defending league champion Clatskanie High Tigers (0-1).

The Tigers (14-1 SD1, 19-5 overall last year) and the No. 11-ranked Portland Christian High Royals (1-1) are considered as the top league contenders this season.

“I know that on any given day, we’ll play very well I think we’ll be competitive,” said Herder. “I like our chances this and we’re a pretty solid team in regard to the areas that you need to be strong to compete well. We have solid pitching and catching and very good infielders. I’m not coaching the team and shooting for third place. We believe we can do better than that and be a top league contender this year.”

The Bobcats are hoping to enjoy some success this year as they seek to reach the state playoffs for the first time since 2024.

“Diamond Mill is in the heart of some of the most

There are new picnic tables, fire grates, site posts and signage, along with an existing doublevault pit toilet.

“We brought in boulders, soil, gravel, vegetation and contoured the area to make the sites feel more private and give campers a better overnight experience,” said Burns.

“It was a bit of free-forall with parking before,” said Burns. “This will

improve traffic flow and safety in the campground.”

Before, the use fee was $5 per car per night, now the improved sites are $20 a night like other ODF state forests campgrounds.

“For this first year the campground ground will remain a first come first served area. Then, we will consider user feedback and might go to a reservation system in 2027,” Burns said.

Burns and his staff are ready to see their hard work pay off after a typically challenging Oregon winter of wet, windy and cold weather.

“ODF staff and South Fork Forest Camp crews have been working really hard in sometimes difficult weather to transform the area, and we are excited to have it ready for the April 1 opening,” said Burns.

“This is just a great area in

the heart of the Tillamook with miles of trails to explore and the campground is family friendly; we even have a kids’ track right beside the campground.”

More than 2 million seedlings planted e this season in Oregon’s state forests Oregon Department of Forestry

A

mild winter with spring-like weather has helped the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) replanting of state forest timber harvest areas stay ahead of schedule this year with approximately two million seedlings already in the ground.

“This has been a great planting season with no shutdowns due to weather,” said John Walter, ODF’s State Forests Silviculturist. “All our districts are done or will be this month. The only exception being Klamath Lake—they typically plant into May and have about 60,000 to get in.”

Like most Western Oregon’s forests, Douglas Fir is the dominant species, but ODF tries to add diversity to its reforestation plan to promote resilience and provide additional types of timber products.

“This year we planted about 74 percent Doug(las) Fir, 17 percent Hemlock,

two percent each of Western Red Cedar and Noble Fir, one percent each of Grand Fir and Sitka Spruce with the remaining three percent Pondarosa Pine,” said Walter. “Later, hardwoods naturally seed in with mainly alder and bigleaf maple. So, we end up with a species mix that is fairly typical western Oregon forests.”

The seedlings are grown by nine contracted northwest nurseries and this year they supplied ODF with 2.3 million of them.

“The successful bidders that purchase timber sales, have three years to complete harvest so it makes it a little tricky on the planning side to project a year in advance how many seedlings we need each year,” said Walter.

“However, we never want to run short so we typically order a little more than what we will plant in state forests.”

This year ODF has nearly 300,000 of those “extra” seedlings, all of which are destined for

Oregon’s forests—just not state forests. ODF typically sells, or sometimes donates, seedlings to watershed groups, other non-profits, and Oregon tribes.

All those 2.3 million seedlings that were grown in controlled environments at the nurseries are then shipped to ODF and held in large coolers until planting season.

The planting is done mostly by private contractors working for ODF. Some planting and replanting the next year, mainly in the Tillamook State Forest, is also done by Adults In Custody from the South Fork Forest Camp, a facility jointly run by the Department of Corrections and ODF. “This is not easy work,” said Bill Sayers, Reforestation Forester for ODF’s Forest Grove District who along with two of his coworkers were monitoring contractors working in Tillamook State Forest. “The terrain can be steep and slippery especially with a pack of

200 or so trees on your back and a shovel in your hand. Also, the contracts emphasize both speed and efficiency. They have to plant fast and plant correctly to get the maximum pay out specified in the contract. Most of these guys do amazing work.”

To determine if the work is done correctly ODF staff measures out a 1/100th of an acre circle and counts the number of seedlings planted in the circle.

“To get to our goal of usually 400 trees per acre there needs to be four seedlings in that circle,” said Sayers. “If there are too few or too many, we alert the foreman and they correct the issue right there. We then dig up the seedings in the circle to make sure they are planted correctly. If they are too deep or too shallow or the roots are bent over, we call those planting errors. We identify those issues and again get it corrected in real time. And yes, we replant the ones we checked ourselves.”

Once in the ground correctly and at the right time, the number one determining factor for their survival is whether they get the right amount of moisture at the right time.

“Obviously weather is the top determining factor—if it is an unusually dry spring and hot dry summer mortality goes up,” said Walter. “We can’t do anything about the weather. The second major factor is competing vegetation. Even if it is a “normal” participation year, seedlings can struggle if other plants are sucking up all the moisture. We evaluate each unit individually and then where deemed necessary use herbicide to limit that competing vegetation to increase the survival rate.”

Other factors impacting seedlings survival are deer and elk browse, root damage (mainly from mountain beavers that live underground), insects, tree diseases and wildfire.

“However, these stressors are usually limited to certain units and not

as much of a threat when compared to the overall impact lack of water or drought region wide,” said Walter.

Looking to the future, ODF has several cooperative agreements and is a partner in research projects in Oregon and the Northwest to improve the genetics to increase the survivability of future trees.

“It’s difficult and a long-term effort to improve our trees,” said Walter. “Ideally, we want disease resistance, climate adaptation and growth all in the same tree. Realistically it is hard to get one of those traits without dropping one or two of the others.”

Meanwhile, ODF continues to manage state forests to yield a sustainable balance of economic, environmental and social benefits over time and for all Oregonians.
