P ort of Garibaldi General Manager Mike Saindon told Garibaldi’s city council that the massive stones that will be used to rehabilitate Tillamook Bay’s south jetty will be delivered by truck to a site at the port.

This marks a change of plans for the project, which had been contracted with terms that specifically avoided using local roads for the heavy loads by delivering the rocks on barges to Kincheloe Point.

However, when Trade West Construction Company, the group selected to complete the jetty work, started exploring the specifics of barging the rocks they discovered it was not a practicable solution.

Saindon said that the Port of Garibaldi and Tillamook County government had gone out to bid with the barge-delivery method to avoid wear and tear and disruptions on county roads. Saindon said that it had been determined that Bayocean Road could not support the 40-ton rocks and the county had been reticent to use the Barview Jetty campground as a staging area, after doing so for work on the north jetty more than a decade ago seriously impacted operations.

Contractors and staff from the county and port began exploring possible alternatives after it was determined that barging wouldn’t

work. They looked at the Mema loose Point boat ramp and Ghost Hole turnout as possibilities, before determining that the Port of Garibaldi was the best option. The port’s board approved a one-year lease for a small parcel located between the Coast Guard building and port office that is intentionally vacant for use as a staging area. The lease begins on

be extended.

In total, 1,500 rocks will be delivered to the port for the project, with five arriving each day from California and the Dalles for the better part of a year. Rocks will be offloaded

parks department.

The multi-family housing grants are part of an annual program that directs funds collected through the county’s short-term rental operator license fee to supporting housing developments that will provide below market-rate accommodation.

Six projects were recom-

mended for support by the housing commission after eight applications were received. Two projects in Bay City, two in Manzanita and one each in Tillamook and Rockaway Beach will receive funding.

The largest award will go to the Seagull’s Rest development in Bay City, which will receive $100,000 to add six two-bedroom duplexes affordable to residents making between 80% and 120% of the area’s median income (AMI). The Hobsonville Point project, also in Bay City, is set to accept $40,000 towards the construction of 29 two-bedroom units in duplex, triplex and quadplex buildings.

The two projects awarded funding in Manzanita will represent that city’s first workforce housing. Maker Manzanita aims to

add 34 one-bedroom apartments affordable to residents making between 80% and 120% AMI and received a $50,000 grant, while the Manzanita Pines project looks to bring 60 two- and three-bedroom apartments for those making 60%80% AMI, receiving $75,000.

A project to redevelop the space above the T-Mobile store on First Street in Tillamook will receive $70,000 to add four, two-bedroom apartments above the retail space. And a project on Anchor Street in Rockaway Beach is receiving $65,000 to construct four one- and two-bedroom apartments above a commercial kitchen.

With the recommendations accepted, the contracts to formalize the grant awards will come before commissioners in the coming

months. Approval for a new sheriff’s office employee was approved to help meet the community corrections requirements of grants received by the county. Sheriff Josh Brown appeared at the meeting and told the commissioners that the new staffer would allow the department to conduct urine testing for drugs for those on parole or probation on the weekends and bolster the program overall.

Brown said that being able to conduct tests on the weekend was required by the state, which funds the department’s community corrections division through grants. While the new position will not technically be grant-funded, its salary will be funded in large part through grant funds allocated for specific tasks they perform, ac-

cording to Brown.

The new employee at the health and human services department will be an accounting manager, for whom the department had sufficient funding in its budget. This employee will be trained on the complexities of medical billing to be able to replace other department staff upon their retirement.

The parks department was approved to hire a new fee collector, with the funds for the position already available in their budget. The parks department was also approved to purchase a Ford F-150 and Ford F-550 from Tillamook Motor Company for a combined price of $112,284.25.

Commissioners also approved a $325,000 increase to a contract with Consor to complete the Kiwanda Corridor project.

Man sentenced for port crime spree

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

One of the two men arrested in connection with an October 8, 2023, binge of property destruction at the Port of Tillamook Bay reached a plea deal with prosecutors on February 20. Ryan Corrigan Woods, 30, pled no contest to six felonies and one misdemeanor and was sentenced to time served in jail, three years’ probation and a one-year driver’s license suspension and ordered to pay more than $50,000 in restitution. The crime spree began early on

the morning of October 8, when Woods and a partner-in-crime, alleged to be Taylor Hulbert, stole a Mercury Sable from Burden’s Towing Lot in downtown Tillamook around 2 a.m. After a brief foray to the South Prairie Store, the duo advanced to the Port of Tillamook Bay, where they stole a forklift and drove it into a car before approaching the Tillamook Air Museum. At the museum, Woods, who was driving the stolen Sable, exited the vehicle and examined the locked entrance doors before returning to the vehicle and driving it through the glass entryway. The pair then exited the vehicle and ran-

sacked the museum’s lobby, before vandalizing several other nearby businesses’ property.

The two then made their way north along Blimp Boulevard, with Hulbert succumbing to exhaustion in the gras beside the roadway. Woods persevered, eventually arriv ing at the Tillamook County Justice Center where he used a flagpole to pierce a television screen before be ing apprehended by a sheriff’s duty and arrested by a Tillamook police officer.

On February 20, Woods was in court to formalize his plea agree ment in front of Judge Jonathan

Ninth Circuit: First Amendment doesn’t protect senators who walked out from consequences

The appeals court’s decision follows an earlier Oregon Supreme Court decision barring senators from running for reelection

JULIA SHUMWAY

Oregon Capital Chronicle

The First Amendment doesn’t protect state

senators who walked out in protest for six weeks from losing their chance to run for reelection, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday. The Leap Day decision is a final nail in the coffin for a handful of Republican senators who have been trying to evade a voter-approved constitutional amendment meant to discourage quorum-denying

walkouts by punishing lawmakers who miss 10 or more days of work. Ten Republican senators, six of whom would have been up for reelection this year, ground the Senate to a halt for six weeks in 2023 in the longest walkout in state history.

Earlier this month, the Oregon Supreme Court unanimously rejected arguments from some of the affected senators that they should be eligible to run for reelection because the law was poorly written. Sens. Dennis Linthicum, R-Klamath Falls, and Brian Boquist, R-Dallas, pinned their hopes on the federal courts, hoping federal judges would agree that they were engaged in

constitutionally protected protests by walking out.

U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken rejected their argument in December, and a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed her decision on Thursday.

“Actions have consequences. When those actions might be described as expressive in nature, the First Amendment sometimes protects us from the repercussions that follow. This is not one of those instances,” the opinion said. Judges Ronald Gould, Jay Bybee and Daniel Bress wrote that Linthicum and Boquist couldn’t show that their walkout was constitutionally protected activity.

Instead, they wrote, depriving the Legislature of its quorum was exercising their power as legislators.

“No private citizen enjoys the privilege to advance or frustrate legislative action directly in the Legislature,” the opinion said. “The ability to stymie legislation by absenting oneself from a meeting of the Oregon Senate belongs to senators alone.”

In a separate concurring opinion, Bybee noted that public employees like teachers are not excused from work if they choose to attend political rallies, and that the senators didn’t give any reason why they should be treated differently than any other public employees.

The filing deadline for the May primary is March 12, meaning Linthicum and Boquist don’t have time to appeal the case further and expect a decision before the filing deadline. Linthicum’s wife, Diane, has filed to run in his stead, while former state lawmaker Bruce Starr is running for Boquist’s seat.

Cape Kiwanda parking lot closing March 4

Together, the County and project team have created a plan that will allow the Kiwanda Corridor Project’s (KCP) first project, the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot Reconstruction, to still come in on time and on budget. With a busy summer season upon the beautiful Pacific City and surrounding areas, the reconstruction of the lot is well underway. Of course, it has been met with a few proverbial bumps in the road: extreme weather delays, a slide on Sandlake Road, material lead times, and minor but unforeseen design changes that happen to any construction project. All members of the project are committed to finding the best solution to these challenges.

Why Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot will be closed beginning March 4th, 2024

• The Sandlake Road closure has significantly increased construction trucking haul routes for earthwork. By temporarily closing the parking lot, onsite earthwork will be stockpiled, which will reduce the transport of soil and aggregates to and from the site. Therefore, the closure

results in project efficiency for earthwork and mitigates lost time to the schedule since the landslide event.

• Since demolition began for improvements to Dorymen’s Way, additional design and construction efforts have been required to stabilize portions of the existing boat ramp sidewalk and bulwark that have been significantly undermined through coastal erosion. The result will be a safer and more resilient boat ramp and sidewalk to access the beach.

• Unforeseen conditions were encountered with the project survey monumentation, resulting in design and construction adjustments by the project team.

• Full closure now will make full operation by peak summer season achievable.

All efforts are being made to continue safe beach access

• All public access to the beach will continue to be maintained, including boat launching activities via Dorymen’s Way.

• Limited parking will be made available during Oregon’s Spring Break. And

it will be free.

• Additional parking will become available by May as the north side of the lot is completed. Again, free to park until the lot is fully operational.

• Safe pedestrian access to the beach is encouraged along the Pelican Brewing sidewalk.

• Additional signage and “Getting Around” resource maps will be placed throughout the area.

The County is working closely with Visit Tillamook Coast, other Pacific Northwest destination management organizations, Pacific City Nestucca Valley Chamber, and local government agencies to ensure this closure is broadly communicated and other areas for parking and beach access are known and publicized.

These intermittent closures are the best move for project completion and create the least disruption to our very beloved, and also populated, Cape Kiwanda.

Where else can you park?

• Nestucca Valley Community Alliance Skatepark

(55 parking stalls and only a 10-minute walk to Cape Kiwanda)

• Pacific City Boat

Launch (60 parking stalls including space for large, motorized vehicles).

• Bob Straub State Park (60 parking stalls with direct access to the beach)

• Pacific City Turnaround (20 parking stalls and a quaint walk across the Beachy Bridge to local shops and food)

About the KCP and Cape Kiwanda Lot Reconstruction

The Cape Kiwanda Lot Reconstruction includes much needed demolition of the existing restrooms; a new restroom building and connecting sidewalks located much closer to the beach; repaving / grading of the parking lot and Dorymen’s Way with upgraded stormwater management systems; pedestrian only pathways; civic overlook; upgraded refuse and recycling; EV charging stations; information kiosk; safe routes for drop offs, pedestrians, bikes and the free Pacific City Shuttle; and the trailhead for the future

City race. The participants were treated to stunning views as they ran segments of the newly opened Cape Meares Loop Road on their way to Cape Lookout and then Cape Kiwanda. There were teams of two and five members as well as solo marathoners, and walkers as well as runners. I learned of three individuals from Cape Meares who were in the race. Patti Smith walked/ ran the last leg of the relay for her team, Netarts Friends Church. Guy Kyle ran the entire course as his inaugural marathon, at age 63. Brandi Harris also ran the course solo, finishing third in her category. Brandi is an experienced marathoner, with a current goal of 12 marathons in 12 months (for the second time; she first did 12 in 12 in 2020). Cheers to everyone who participated in the Three Capes Marathon Relay. The Barbara Bennett

Community Center was filled with the sweet smell of coffee cake on the last Sunday in February, as neighbors gathered for a coffee klatch put on by Ann and Steve Quinn. We conversed about marathons and swimming meets, the possibility of our community center getting solar panels and being used as a warming center during power outages, and how we each found Cape Meares and bought or constructed our homes. It was low-key and informal; a great way to spend a drizzly Sunday morning. Thanks for hosting this friendly event, Ann and Steve. The next coffee klatch will be April 14; keep an eye on the social media site MeWe for a reminder closer to the date. Our center will be the site of another community event on March 9 from 10 a.m. to noon. Cape Meares residents and property owners are invited to a workshop entitled “Water Works,” presented by Pete Steen and Kevin Burke. The session will focus on acquisition of water (especially harvesting), purification, storage, and sanitation. “Water Works” is yet another educational outreach by our local emergency preparedness team. See you at the Barbara Bennett Community Center Saturday morning.

As I write this column, everything appears set for all the official Coast Guard Week events.

Both the Coast Guard City Designation ceremony (March 5th, 10 a.m. Old Mill Event Center) and the Enlisted Person of the Year ceremony (March 7th. 10 a.m. Location correction –Garibaldi Maritime Museum), as well as the other festivities are ready to go.

Lastly, the planning commission keeps playing hopscotch with their meeting dates. The March event is targeted for March 11, 2024, 6:30pm. This should give the chair enough time to finish the edits to legislative draft brought about by the January 2024 meeting. And with the chair’s mother in town to keep an eye on each of the twins so the chair and his mayoral spouse can tend to extended family duties, time should finally free up.

PS – For those asking and sending thoughts and prayers, mayor Katie’s sister is still in labor. The baby has rescheduled her introduction to the world to later this month. We’re all on her schedule at the moment –which isn’t surprising.

Again, thank you to everyone for their kind support. One more – I backed up that heart-stirring piece on the grade school to next week. It deserves its own column.

O n February 3, the City of Rockaway Beach hosted a discussion of ways to protect the Jetty Creek watershed, Rockaway’s primary source of drinking water. Presented by North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP), formerly known as Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection, speakers included Chuck Willer, executive director of the Coast Range Association.

Willer’s presentation, “Safeguarding and Restoring Watersheds,” aimed to educate residents about the current state of Jetty Creek. He outlined the condition of Jetty Creek, listed serious threats to its future as a source of clean drinking water, and proposed several approaches to protecting it.

At present, the Jetty Creek watershed is owned by two timber companies: Nuveen, which owns the downstream portion; and

Stimson, which owns the majority of the tract located upstream from Nuveen’s share. An estimated 80% of the second-growth conifers in the watershed had been harvested between 2010 and 2013, leaving the majority of the Jetty Creek watershed clearcut since then. This presents two problems. First, clearcut land erodes more quickly than forested land because the root systems of living trees hold the soil in place. Erosion of this type moves topsoil downstream, reducing the ability of a hillside to support new growth. In addition, the soil eroded from the hillside fills in the downhill portions of the stream bed, and further puts a strain on the filtration systems required to produce clean drinking water.

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum today joined the Federal Trade Commission and a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general from across the nation in acting to block the proposed KrogerAlbertsons merger.

Oregon, the FTC, and the other AGs filed to enjoin

the merger in U.S. District Court in Portland. This followed a vote by FTC commissioners Monday morning; it is the result of thorough investigations by the FTC and the states into the proposed merger’s anticipated effects.

resulting from increased erosion, the City of Rockaway Beach installed a new membrane-type filtration system, as well as a sand filter system, between 2011 and 2013. At the time, the cost was just over $2 million.

Another issue is the chlorine required to make this highly turbid water safe to drink. Chlorine interacts with organic waste materials in the water, which can result in high levels of trihalomethane (THM). THM has been associated with a number

The second problem presented in a clearcut drinking watershed is the spraying of herbicide and rodenticide on the area. Herbicides are primarily used to control the rapid growth of red alder, a deciduous tree with much less commercial value than the conifers typical to the Pacific Northwest. Rodenticide is used to control mountain beaver, not an actual beaver but a relative of squirrels, who eat the shoots of timber-producing trees. There is concern that the runoff from these air-sprayed chemicals will leach into the watershed.

A final concern is runoff from logging roads throughout the area. This activity accelerates erosion from the roadways. The result: additional turbidity and other pollution, and the

resulting negative effects to our drinking water.

Protecting and managing the safety of drinking water from Jetty Creek involves a number of possible options, but all speakers stressed the importance of community involvement. In short, the options are to establish a conservation easement to protect the watershed; to purchase the watershed outright as a means of excluding spraying and further clearcutting; or taking legal action against the current owners to obtain relief from past and future logging operations.

Purchasing outright, some suggested, might be possible with Federal grants available for environmental reparations and protection. One of the speakers identified the Jetty Fishery watershed as tax lot 2800, measuring 640 acres and with a value of $571,820. Several attend -

ees had suggestions about possible legal action, which will be discussed in future meetings and columns.

One additional step the city is taking to monitor and protect our drinking water is the creation of a Sourcewater Plan Advisory Committee. At present, ten Rockaway Beach residents have applied for the five positions on the committee. The final selection will be announced at the March 13 City Council meeting, at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 276 Highway 101 South.

The City of Rockaway Beach provided a grant to NCCWP to co-sponsor a total of three presentations about Jetty Creek. The series title is “Safeguarding and Restoring Watersheds,” with the aim of educating the community about Jetty Creek’s present and future. I will publish dates and content of these upcoming meetings, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Oregon AG Rosenblum acts to stop Kroger-Albertsons merger

protect Oregon consumers and workers,” said AG Rosenblum. “We believe this proposed merger would hurt both, and we’re doing our part to prevent it from going forward.”

Kroger and Albertsons are the nation’s two largest grocery chains. In Oregon, the two corporations operate 176 stores, serving nearly every community in the state. Kroger operates 51 Fred Meyer and 4 QFC stores, while Albertsons operates 96 Safeway and 25 Albertsons stores.

Today’s lawsuit seeks to block the proposed Albertsons-Kroger merger. The FTC, Oregon, and the other

states participating in this legal action allege the proposed merger would violate the federal Clayton Act. That act prohibits acquisitions which may substantially lessen competition.

“If big grocery stores are allowed to reduce competition this way,” said Rosenblum, “they can charge higher prices for food for no good reason and reduce services, including in their pharmacies. They can also slow the growth of employees’ wages, or even reduce some of those wages. Working conditions and employee benefits can suffer, as well. In short, there’s no good for consumers or workers in this

proposed merger — and lots of bad.”

Oregon Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission investigators found compelling evidence that direct, head-to-head competition between Kroger and Albertsons has forced the two chains to compete vigorously against one another — both on price and on the quality of goods and services offered at their stores. This competition has also benefitted workers, by producing higher wages, better benefits, and improved working conditions.

“This supermarket mega-merger comes as American consumers have

seen the cost of groceries rise steadily over the past few years. Kroger’s acquisition of Albertsons would lead to additional grocery price hikes for everyday goods, further exacerbating the financial strain consumers across the country face today,” said Henry Liu, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition.

Joining Oregon and the FTC in the lawsuit are Arizona, California, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Colorado and Washington have already filed lawsuits to stop the merger in their respective state courts.

Three tips for reducing fall risk for older adults

Falling represents one of the most pressing health concerns facing older adults.

As people consider ways to prevent falling, either in

themselves or a loved one, it can seem daunting – with so many risk factors, how can we prevent them all?

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming – here are three ways you or a loved one can take action:

#1: Start or expand a workout routine

We begin losing muscle mass in our 30s, and that deterioration increases the risk of a fall as we age.

To counteract that, a regular fitness routine can help maintain and even build muscle mass and improve balance, lowering the risk of a fall. The CDC recommends 150 minutes of activity per week, which breaks down to 30 minutes, five times a week.

#2: Go room-by-room

Scan your home for fall risks, and as you do, here are a few things to consider:

• Remove loose cords and wires or fasten them to baseboards or the floor where possible.

• Remove unnecessary clutter like piles of newspapers, magazines, laundry, etc.

• Install non-slip mats or pads in the shower or tub.

• Install weight-bearing grab bars or railings for assistance getting up and down in the bathroom.

• Check that all light bulbs work, and have replacements on hand.

#3: See your doctor

A doctor can perform

tests to gauge balance and walking gait, two important factors in fall safety for older adults. Tests for eyesight and hearing are vital as well.

Free Fall Safety Webinar from Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers

At Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers, we’re hosting a free webinar with physical therapist Mike Studer, who will discuss the importance of balance and walking gait. In addition, he will present on the fear and anxiety many older adults feel surrounding fall risk.

The webinar will take place on Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m. You can register at prestigecanhelp.com.

Lawrence M. Remington

Sept. 20, 1937 ~ Feb. 18, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lawrence “Larry” Remington, who departed this world on February 18, 2024. He was born on September 20, 1937, and lived a life surrounded by family, friends, love, and

Larry was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and touched the lives of those around him in profound ways. He will be remembered for his friendliness, supportive nature, kindness, witty sense of humor, and his willingness to always lend a helping hand. He will also be remembered for his baking skills, taco dip, the way he often mispronounced words like “wraslin” instead of “wrestling”, and the sweet smile that lit up his

After graduating from high school, Larry served three years in the U.S. Army as a Truck Driver in the Tank and Armor Division. After that, he worked various jobs in the shingle mill industry and the automotive industry. The job that he was most known for and was most proud of was Part Manager at NAPA Auto Parts. He was often referred to as “Napa Larry”. After Larry retired at age 65, he went back to work as a Janitor at the Tillamook School District where he worked until he was 68 years old and officially retired.

In his personal life, Larry Remington was a source of support and inspiration to all who knew him. He loved getting his family together for family gatherings and of course watching and talking about sports, especially the ones his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids participated in. He never missed an opportunity to talk about his grandkids and the sports that they were playing. His family and friends will remember his for his unwavering support in not only sports but in every aspect of life. The kind of love

that Larry showed to his family and friends was strong and unconditional.

Larry Remington was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years Elsie Remington, his brothers Doug Remington and George Remington, and his son David Brian Remington.

Larry Remington is survived by brother Mac Remington, his children Phil Remington, Al Remington, Nina Johnson, and Patti Johnson. Along with his 11 grandchildren Chris Bennett, Sean Bennett, Harv Bennett, Melissa Bennett, Whitney Bruns, Lindsey Remington, Justine LaBree, Kennady Johnson, Jaxson Johnson, Makinley Johnson and Carson Remington and 14 greatgrandchildren Tristan Bennett, Travis Bennett, Blake Bennett, Branson Bennett, Bridger

Bennett, Sawyer Bennett, Piper Bennett, Colton Bennett, Bailey Sparks, Case Sparks, Aspen Burns, Blaize LaBree, Harper LaBree and Connor LaBree who will carry forward his memory with love and admiration.

Larry Remington may be gone, but the impact of his presence will forever remain in our hearts. One piece of advice that Larry said he would give to his younger self was “Do not take life too seriously. Try to be a good person and help other people if possible. If you are good to other people, you will get it back in spades.” He did just that. May he rest in peace and may the memories we shared bring comfort to us all during this difficult time.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled at Alderbrook Hall on Saturday, March 23rd at 11 a.m.

Pirates and Bobcats grapple at state tourney SPORTS

The Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates wrestlers and the Nestucca High Bobcats wrestlers both concluded the season by competing in the OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union Class 3A/2A Wrestling State Championship Tournament February 22-23 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland.

The Bobcats, guided by Coach Aaron Pearn, had six athletes competing in the Class 2A boys state tourney, including senior Kevin Sanchez, Brady Hurliman, Quinn Hill, Zak Chatelain, Tegan Slavens and Draven Marsh. Hill (fourth place), Chatelain (second place) and Marsh (third place) each had remarkable per-

formances to finish with top-three placing medal winning podium finishes.

“It was a good tournament for us and getting three placers was great because it’s the first time since 2012 that we’ve done that,” said Pearn, whose Bobcats notched a total of 44 points to finish 10th in 2A team scoring at the tournament. “Tegan and Brady reached the tournament as freshmen and even though they didn’t win, that’s kind of normal for first time state qualifiers. Kevin kind of had a rough time and he lost his first match to the state champion (Harley Hardison) by just one point. Potentially, we probably could’ve finished sixth or seventh in team scores, but it’s just not how things work sometimes.”

Toledo won the 3A team state championship with 138 points and Willamina was second with 121.5.

“It really shows how tough our district (SD1) is with the top-two teams in the state,” said Pearn. “We probably could’ve had more people qualify for state if we didn’t have the top-two teams in our district. We had a really good, two-days at the tournament and it was great. The guys worked hard and I feel good about moving on to next season with a pretty young group. We’ll only lose three seniors so the majority of our team will be back with lots of good sophomores and juniors who will be much improved wrestlers. I think we’re moving in the right direction.”

Hill, the 2023 state

champion in the 150-pound weight class, won twoof-four matches in the 157-pound division, including a close 6-2 quarterfinal victory of Jozia Williams of Illinois Valley. In the semifinal, Hill lost by fall to Kayden Tiller (30-2) of Oakridge, who won the state championship. In the consolation round, Hill won by a 7-0 decision over Cameron Russell of Willamina to advance to the third/ fourth place match and he lost by fall to Zach Brown of Heppner. Hill, the Special District 1 Champion, finished his senior season with a record of 44-11 and it was the third straight year he competed at state.

Chatelain won three-offour matches at 132 pounds, including a close 3-0 win by decision over Tyler Garner of Oakland in the opening round. Chatelain won in the quarterfinals by a 17-3 decision over Jayden McNall of Joseph, followed by a semi win by fall over Jonavin Keller of Oakridge. In a very close finals match, Chatelain lost by just a 4-2 decision to Logan Gerding (29-6) of Toledo. Chatelain, the Special District 1 Champion, concluded the season with a 35-9 mark.

Marsh (42-15 record) won his first match in the 144-pound class with a win by fall over Wyatt Tigner of Central Linn. Marsh lost by fall in the semis to Brady Otley (39-8) of Crane. Marsh came back and won his next two for the thirdplace medal. Marsh won in the consolation semis by a 5-0 decision over Jude Lichte of Reedsport, followed by a win by fall in the third/ fourth place match over Jaycen Marois of North Douglas.

Sanchez (120 lbs.), Tegan Slavens (132 lbs.)

and Brady Hurliman (126 lbs.) wrestled for the first time ever at the state tourney and they each lost their two matches. Sanchez finished with a 31-16 record, Hurliman had a 27-20 mark and Slavens had a 33-18 overall record. The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates also had a total six athletes who qualified in the Class 3A boys’ tourney, including Alex Neto, Alex Lessor, Hunter Skelton, Jeremiah Miller, Nathaniel Tinnes and junior Sam Lommen.

The Pirates, guided by third-year Coach Alejandro Quintana, didn’t have a lot of success on the mats though as they had just one win by Lommen in the 285-pound weight classification. Lommen and Miller were competing at the state tourney for the second time in their career. The Pirates other four grapplers were first time state qualifiers.

“We struggled a little and we only won one match,” said Quintana. “We were looking pretty good and we were hoping that Jeremiah would place well after he was seeded second. But he lost in the first round and in the quarterfinals, so that was kind of a surprise for us and it’s kind of a bummer in his senior year to go out like that (02).” Miller lost by fall to Gunnar Tamez (31-9) of Vale in his opening matchup.

Lommen, who concluded the season with a 29-10 record, won one-of-three matches including a win in his first match by fall over Wyatt Smith of Rogue River. Lommen then lost a quarterfinal match by a 7-1 decision to Bowen Johnson of La Pine. In the consolation round, Lommen lost

by a 9-0 major decision to Cole Wilson of Banks.

“Last year all of our kids were sitting at home because we only had one guy who qualified for state last season,” said Quintana, whose squad scored a total of just six points.

“This year we took five six guys to state and five of them will return next year. They’re still pretty young too, so hopefully next year they’ll win some matches and place at state. It’s awesome that we took a lot more guys to state this year than we did last year. It’s not such a disappointment, because now the kids who went will know what to expect and they’ll get better and they’ll be looking forward to returning to the state tournament next year.”

Kevin Sanchez qualified for state last year for the Pirates, but he moved and transferred to Nestucca last summer.

Miller, the Special District 1 champion in the 138-pound division, lost both of his matches to finish the season with a 35-14 mark. Skelton (150 lbs.) a freshman, lost both matches and he ended the season at 13-11 overall.

“The goal is place and be on the podium and not just be satisfied by getting to state,” said Quintana. “It was a great experience for the kids to go out there and see what the state tournament is like.”

Lessor (157 lbs.) lost both of his matches to finish the year at 29-19. Tinnes (175 lbs.) lost two matches to conclude the season with a 19-13 record. Neto (190 lbs.) lost his two matches and he finished with a 22-16 record.

Harrisburg won the 3A team title with a total of 285 points.

OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union Class 4A state tournament February 22-23 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland.

The Cheesemakers, guided by Head Coach Rex Metcalf and assistant coaches Christian Mata and Courtney King, had a total of five grapplers who earned prestigious top-five, medal winning podium finishes. Jak Hopkes (2nd place), Bryce Haltiner (2nd place), Chance Fletcher (5th place), Addison Josi (4th place) and Faliscity Murphy Snider (4th place) each had an outstanding performance at the tournament.

“It went okay, but it wasn’t what we wanted and we were hoping for better results,” said Mata, a 2016 Tillamook High graduate who was on the Mooks wrestling team who took second place at state his senior year. “It was pretty cool that we had two girls place fourth. The girls’ wrestling program is kind of growing and we had four that qualified for state, which was really good.”

Hopkes won three-of-

quarterfinals and a close 6-2 semi win over Aldo Duran of Baker. Hopkes lost by fall to state champion Kyle Sieminski (54-3) in the first-place match. Hopkes a junior and the defending state champion, reached the state tournament for a second straight year. Haltiner won three straight matches by fall to reach the championship in the 113-pound division. He won his first match over Riley Vaughan of Sweet Home, followed by a quarterfinal win over Tanner Schuh of Phoenix and a semi win over Henry Bankhead of North Marion. Haltiner then faced Skyler Sutton of Cascade in the first-place match and he lost a close one by a 5-0 decision to get second. Haltiner, a senior, concluded the season with an impressive 34-4 record and capped his career as a four-time state tournament placer. Fletcher (32-7) won four-out-of-six matches to get fifth in the 132-pound weight class. He won his opening match by fall over Cole Roy of Pendleton, fol -

lost a close battle by a 4-0 decision in the consolation semis to Mason Wolcott of La Grande, followed by another close match with a 6-4 win by decision over Roy to earn the fifth-place medal. Josi and Snider both took fourth place in girls ‘competition. Josi won two-out-of-four matches in the 170-pound division. Following a bye in the opening round, Josi won her quarterfinal match in a 6-4 sudden victory over June Highburger of Elmira. She followed with a semifinal loss by fall to Evelyn Wirfs of Cascade. Josi then won a consolation semi match by fall over Joie Wernegreen of Hidden Valley. Josi, a sophomore, advanced to the third-place match, where she lost by fall to Maddy Armstrong of Lagrande, to earn a fourth-place medal winning podium position in her first state tournament appearance. Snider, a senior, won three-of-five matches in the 140-pound division to get fourth. She won her first two matches by fall

Oakland in the consolation semis. Snider then earned the fourth-place medal after a loss by fall to Quincev Ludvia of Lakeview in the third-place match. Tillamook grapplers who each won boys’ matches at the tournament included junior Zavarta Anderson (126 lbs.), junior David Weathers (138), sophomore Jonathan Depas (190), junior Koi Smith (190), senior Kenneth Lopez (285) and freshman Clayton Petty (285).

“We have plans for our kids to continue competing throughout the spring and the summer,” said Mata. “We’ve noticed that sometimes these kids don’t do a lot during the offseason, so when wrestling season

starts up again in the winter, it just seems like we’re kind of starting all over from the beginning again. We’re trying to get the kids more involved in the offseason just to keep them wrestling, which would be better for them.”

Senior Shayla Hillstrom competed in the tournament for the first time ever and she won one-ofthree matches in the girls 130-pound division, including a win over Kaydence Johnson of Hidden Valley by a close 11-10 decision.

Pirates end season in Coos Bay

JOHN GUNTHER

For The Headlight Herald

It took nearly six decades for Neah-Kah-Nie to get back to the boys basketball state tournament, and though the Pirates didn’t win a game in the Class 3A championships on Oregon’s South Coast, they left a strong impression on their coach and a desire to return soon.

Neah-Kah-Nie lost to top seed Westside Christian 67-39 in the quarterfinals at North Bend High School on Thursday and then came back from a 15-point secondquarter deficit to force

overtime Friday morning in the consolation semifinals before falling to Burns 68-61 at Marshfield High School. “I’m just so proud of them,” Neah-Kah-Nie coach Erick White said. “Obviously, this moment is disappointing, but when we look back, it’s an awesome experience just to get here.”

The Pirates feature three seniors — Jonathan Dana, Ivan Dante and Anthony Allen — but the rest of the group is largely sophomores. It’s those players White hopes relish the experience of being in the tournament.

“Just getting part of the

experience — I hope it spurs us on to work harder,” he said. “I hope it inspires them.

“In the Bay Area is how we want to finish every year.”

White and assistant Corey Douma both played for Neah-Kah-Nie and graduated together.

“We never got close to getting to the tournament,” he said.

The Pirates started the weekend strong against Westside Christian, leading 18-15 through one quarter.

But they couldn’t keep up with the Eagles the rest of the way in a 67-39 loss.

Ethan Hanson, the team’s lone junior, had 13 points in the loss and Dante had eight points, five blocks and 13 rebounds. Allen and Dana combined for 13 more points.

Neah-Kah-Nie started slow in the consolation semifinals against Burns, trailing by 15 points in the second quarter as the Hilanders repeatedly hit from outside.

White said he was worried about how the team

would respond to the 9 a.m. game time.

“It took us a half to snap out of it,” he said, adding that the Pirates turned the game around by stepping up its defense.

Neah-Kah-Nie pulled

within two late in third on fast-break hoop by Ethan Hanson and Burns led 4543 heading to the fourth, a back-and-forth quarter that saw both teams lead several times.

Burns had the final pos-

session, but a potential gamewinning shot was off the mark setting up the overtime

Neah-Kah-Nie went cold in the extra session and Jaxon Hoyt and Jack Wright both hit 3-pointers to push Burns in front. The Pirates didn’t make enough shots and Hoyt hit four straight free throws to seal the win.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t put it in the hoop (in overtime),” White said.

The coach said he was proud of his team’s effort battling back from the early

“They work hard,” he said. “They never give up.” He praised the efforts of Dana, normally the team’s fourth-leading scorer, who had 14 points, including two 3-pointers.

“He kept us going in the first half,” White said.

Dante had 15 points for the Pirates. Allen and sophomore Clayton Dante had nine points each.

Neah-Kah-NIe finished the season 19-7 overall.

Lady Bobcats eliminated from state tourney

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Nestucca Bobcats girls’ basketball team lost back-to-back matchups against the Knappa Loggers and Enterprise Outlaws at the Pendleton convention center on February 29 and March 1.

Nestucca’s 46-39 loss to Knappa snapped an 18-game win streak for the Bobcats and followed three wins over the Loggers previously during the season.

Through three quarters the game was back and forth, with the Bobcats holding a seven-point advantage going into the fourth, but an abysmal offensive showing in the last quarter allowed the Loggers to come back for the win. Hailee Knight led the Bobcats in scoring with 14 points, while Chloe Love chipped in 11.

(503) 842-3938

After Nestucca took an early 4-0 lead, the Loggers responded by reeling off five unanswered to take a lead before Hailee Knight scored to retake a 6-5 advantage after four minutes of play. The Bobcats were working the paint in the early going as their outside shots weren’t falling and Knappa again began to struggle with the Bobcats’ defensive pressure.

Nestucca took advantage of an extended scoreless streak for the Loggers, scoring 11 unanswered to take a 15-5 lead on a Love three with around two minutes left in the first. Knappa finally ended their drought with a layup on the next possession and scored four more as the Bobcats went cold, ending the quarter with Nestucca ahead 15-11.

Knappa continued its run as the second quarter got under way, tying the game at 15 shortly into the period with two free throws. Knight ended the run with a three on the next possession to retake the lead and continued to lead the Bobcats through the quarter, with the team’s first six points.

The game remained tight, with Knappa tying the game

again at 21 with four and a half minutes left in the half before Love responded with a three for another narrow lead. Nestucca was drawing many whistles in the second quarter, with Knight picking up her third with just under three left and putting the Loggers in the bonus. However, with both teams’ offenses playing sloppily, the rest of half elapsed with three combined points for the teams from the line and the Bobcats led 26-22 at the break. Nestucca’s offense continued to struggle as the second half began, allowing the Loggers to cut the lead to two before another three from Love ended the cold streak with three minutes gone. Knappa answered with a long two-pointer and halfway through the period the score was 29-26. Moments later, with the score at 31-28, Knight picked up her fourth foul with a charge in transition, sending her to the bench. The Bobcat defense renewed its intensity following this development, holding the Loggers to just two more points in the quarter, which allowed Nestucca to extend

its lead to 37-30 entering the fourth. Knappa hit back-to-back three pointers to start the fourth and cut the lead to one with just over a minute gone in the quarter. With Nestucca again cold, the loggers tied the game moments later with a free throw and took a twopoint lead with a basket, drawing a timeout from Bobcat Coach Tevin Gianella with just over six minutes to play.

Nestucca’s offense continued to struggle, remaining scoreless as four minutes ticked by with the Loggers pushing their lead to 44-37 with a three seconds later. The Bobcats could not buy a basket as time ticked down until Love notched two free throws with 50 seconds left to make the score 46-39, which was the final tally.

The loss was just the fourth on the season for the Bobcats, but the disappointment continued with a second consecutive loss to the Enterprise Outlaws, 57-47, on March 1. The second loss ended the season for Nestucca, which had a final record of 23-5 and won the Northwest League for the second consecutive season.
