Tillamook City Councilor pleads guilty to DUII

Local election dates coming close

Staff

Two important local election dates are coming up. The first date is Feb. 14, election day for a City of Tillamook Special Election to determine the winner of Ward 2 and Ward 5 city council race. The special election is the result of a ballot error on those two wards and a lawsuit that followed contesting the election back in Nov. of last year.

City Council Wards 2 and 5 results were set aside on January 12, 2023, following errors in balloting in the initial race.

Rebekah Hopkins continued to represent ward 2, while ward 5’s seat on the council remained vacant until the election can be contested again on March 14.

Results from the November election indicated that incumbent Dean Crist had lost the ward 5 race to challenger Nick Torres by a twovote margin, while incumbent Hopkins beat challenger Paige Folkema by 24 votes.

However, word of potential irregularities began to trickle out in the weeks following the election.

By late November Tillamook County Clerk Tassi O’Neill told the Herald that she had identified at least one, two-person household that had received ballots for the incorrect city council race.

Then, on December 19, two suits were filed in circuit court contesting the results of the election.

Attorney Ross Day filed the suits on behalf of Sarah Dentel in Ward 2 and Sara O’Neil-Spellman in Ward 5.

Commissioners requesting federal funds for county projects

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook’s Board of County Commissioners got the ball rolling on federal funding requests for a wide variety of projects across the county at their meeting on March 1, 2023.

They also declared February “Problem Gambling Awareness Month” in Tillamook County and approved health contracts to support county residents.

Janeane Krongos, Tillamook Family Counseling Center’s Prevention Specialist, told commissioners that according to the Oregon Health Authority around 84,000 Oregonians struggle with problem gambling.

Problem gambling is defined as any gambling that disrupts or damages a person’s life, whether it be their own mental health, interpersonal relationships with family and friends, or professional pursuits.

Krongos said that the problem receives less attention than addiction to substances but that the repercussions of problem gambling could be just as severe.

Commissioners approved two contracts for outside companies to

provide supplemental service to the work done by the county’s health department.

InSight Medical Group will be providing a licensed clinical social worker to the county at a rate of $100 an hour for 24 hours a week. The worker will provide services via telehealth and is contracted for a year.

Synergy Health will be facilitating the services of a nutritionist who will help women, infants and children in the county for around 10 hours every week.

Health and Human Services

Administrator Marlene Putman said that the outside help was necessary due to staffing challenges faced by the county.

The bulk of the meeting was concerned with approving nine requests for congressionally directed funding. This annual process identifies projects around the country for which local communities would like to see federal funding.

County Commissioners identified four projects in the county’s purview for federal funding, requesting $2.3 million for the Shiloh Levee Project, $3 million in conjunction with the City of Tillamook for wastewater collection and treatment

upgrades, $3 million for Kiwanda Corridor projects and $3.5 million for continuing work upgrading fiber broadband connectivity in the south of the county.

Commissioners also approved a request for state funding to the Shiloh Levee Project, which will cost a total of $4.6 million and could be completed by the end of 2024 should funding from both sources materialize.

They also signed letters of support for a further five projects that are in the county or connected to it but which are being administered by other organizations.

The Salmon Superhighway project that aims to increase salmon passage in the Tillamook and Nestucca Bay watersheds is requesting funds to aid in that effort.

Tillamook City Councilor John Sandusky pled guilty to one count of driving under the influence of intoxicants on February 13, 2023, in Judge Mari Trevino’s courtroom.

Sandusky was sentenced to two years’ probation and a year-long driver’s license suspension, while being ordered to pay a $1,255 fine to the court.

“I was foolish and wrong to drive under the influence of alcohol,” Sandusky said in an email to the Headlight Herald.

The incident which led to Sandusky’s DUII charge took place on or about November 18, 2022, and marked the second time that Sandusky was caught driving intoxicated in Tillamook County.

Sandusky was charged with DUII in 2007 and took part in a diversionary program, after which the case was dismissed.

The terms of Sandusky’s probation prohibit him from drinking alcohol or entering bars or other establishments selling alcohol and require him to complete 80 hours of community service.

Sandusky has been serving as representative for Tillamook’s Ward 4 since he was appointed to the vacant seat in December 2020. He ran unopposed for election to the seat in the November 2022 general election, extending his term until the end of 2026.

Sandusky is a social science instructor at Tillamook Bay Community college, where he has worked for more than 30 years and where he won the Teaching Excellence of the Year Award for the 2021-2022 school year.

“I would like people to know that there was no collision, no one was hurt, no car was damaged, and I am complying with the law,” Sandusky said.

Former City Manager files suit against City of Garibaldi

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

A lawsuit seeking $1 million was filed against the City of Garibaldi in Tillamook County Circuit Court on February 16, by former City Manager Juliet Hyams.

The suit alleges that Hyams was subjected to retaliation for whistleblowing and was the target of a public campaign by former Mayor and City Councilor Judy Riggs that led her to resign as city manager in July 2022.

The city had received a letter of intent to sue in

October of last year, as well as a demand letter seeking $300,000 in late November. Hyams began working for the City of Garibaldi in June 2021 and became aware of issues with the city’s financial reporting from the tenure of her predecessor, Geoff Wullschlager. At the time, Garibaldi was out of date on financial audits by two years, with 2019 being the last completed audit. The suit alleges that when Hyams began trying to address the financial issues, she met with stiff resistance and hostility from Riggs. Riggs had been

Juliet Hyams

mayor between 2019 and the beginning of 2021 when the financial issues arose and was a city councilor during Hyams’s tenure.

Riggs began attacking Hyams’s job performance starting in December 2021, falsely accusing her of making unauthorized purchases, exceeding her spending authority and failing to complete financial reports, according to the suit.

The suit says this treatment by Riggs continued through the first half of 2022, as she repeatedly made comments about Hyams’s performance at meetings where it was not on the agenda.

These actions by Riggs are described in the suit as “a coordinated effort with

others to undermine the plaintiff’s credibility and authority,” which led to Hyams’s resignation in July 2022.

Hyams claims that the city is liable for the actions of Riggs as she served on the council and other members declined to push back against the false statements made by Riggs.

Current Garibaldi

Mayor Tim Hall declined to comment on the pending litigation, as did interim City Manager Jay Marugg.

Hyams is seeking $500,000 in economic damages to compensate for

lost wages and a further $500,000 for “humiliation, emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of life, and damage to her reputation,” caused by the situation. Hyams is also asking that her attorney fees be covered. Hyams is being represented by attorney Timothy Volpert. Riggs lost a mayoral bid in the November 2022 election before resigning her council seat in January of this year with two years remaining in her term.

Housing Commission briefed on new production strategies

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook County’s Housing Commission met on March 2, 2023, and was briefed on different strategies that the state government recommends to increase housing.

No decisions were made at the meeting, but commissioners were asked to investigate the strategies further and begin thinking about which would be appropriate for Tillamook.

Tillamook County’s Housing Coordinator Thomas Fiorelli went through five different potential strategies that the state has identified for increasing housing stock.

The first was ensuring that land zoned for high density use is used for highdensity housing rather than single-family homes by enacting minimum density standards. This approach would take

time to see the conversion of lower density housing stock, but as buildings went through updates or rebuilds it would help to increase capacity.

The second option Fiorelli discussed was updating the code of ordinances to allow for a wider variety of housing in the county. County Commissioners’ recent decision to allow accessory dwelling units in the county is a good example of this type of change, as would be allowances for micro-units, manufactured housing, multifamily housing or single room occupancy. Changing the code to allow for the redevelopment of large single-family homes into multiunit buildings was the third strategy detailed by Fiorelli.

The final two strategies were ones to financially incentivize development. The first was providing financial incentives and resources directly to developers to induce development, while the final

strategy was working with employers to help build accommodation for their employees.

Fiorelli asked commissioners to further consider the strategies ahead of their next meeting so that they can choose which to begin working towards.

Commissioners also had a brief discussion on the possibility of expanding county support to the development of single-family homes. Currently, the county offers grants to developers of multifamily housing units, funded by short-term rental license operator fees. Commissioners agreed that it was a good idea to promote a wider range of development types. They generally favored grants to developers rather than home buyers as a more effective way to stimulate new building.

OPSIS Architecture selected to design TBCC Healthcare Education building

In a Febuary Board of Education meeting, the Tillamook Bay Community College Board of Educa-

tion approved the hiring of Opsis Architecture. Opsis will work with Wenaha Group, the project manager for the college, on designing and constructing the new Healthcare Education Building. The selection committee, comprised of TBCC administrators, received six proposals for the project and interviewed the three firms with the strongest proposals, including Opsis Architecture.

On Jan. 19, the interviews and a mock community engagement exercise were held by the selection

committee, alongside TBCC Board Chair, Kathy Gervasi and the two project managers from Wenaha Group.

“The engagement exercise really provided a great opportunity for us to observe how the teams interacted with each other and their ability to engage with the community,” said Gervasi.

Wenaha Group negotiated on behalf of TBCC with Opsis Architecture considering the scope of services required, schedule of work, cost of services proposed, and any other matters in the interest of the

college. Wenaha’s construction and design contract experience across the region allowed them to compare fee proposals to similar projects across Oregon and Washington to verify that the proposed pricing is within expected margins for like projects.

During the same February 6th meeting, TBCC President Ross Tomlin announced the formation of a Bond Oversight Steering Committee. The Committee is made up of citizens from across the county and will meet regularly to ensure that TBCC builds a high-quality Healthcare Education facility and spends bond funding as directed by voters.

The following community members are part of the Bond Oversight Steering Committee:

Mary Faith Bell, Vice Chair TBCC Board of Education

Tamra Perman, TBCC Board of Education Member

Justin Aufdermauer, Executive Director of Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce

Doug Honeycutt, Mayor of Wheeler

Michael Weissenfluh, TBCC Foundation Chair

Michelle Jenck, Adventist Hospital Director of WellBeing

Michelle Bradley, Port of Tillamook Bay General Manager

Doug Olson, Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce

In May 2022, residents of Tillamook County approved a $14.4 million bond measure to build a new Healthcare Education Building on the college’s property adjacent to the main campus building. The building will provide the college with the capacity to add a nursing program, and additional healthcare occupations training programs, and provide space to expand and add new degrees and certificates to meet the community’s growing workforce training needs. The new building will include state-of-the-art simulation labs, high-tech classrooms, office spaces, and a largescale community space for conferences, trainings, and locally hosted events. The facility is expected to open in late spring 2025.

LIVE MUSIC SCENE

Tombstone Shadows,

Staff

You won’t hear this one through the grapevine if you hit Kitty’s Food and Spirits live music scene this Saturday.

Joel and Dana Baker are hosting Tombstone Shadows, a CCR tribute band out of Portland beginning at 8 p.m.

The four piece band with two guitars, a drummer and bass player, are playing a good mix of CCR’s top hits and a few of their not so known songs like their namesake, Tombstone Shadow.

“We do all the hits and a

few obscure ones,” said Robert Curren, the bands leader and the guy who decided two years ago to put this concept together in Portland. “We were coming off COVID and knew people were anxious to get back to live music, get out dancing and what better fun dance music than CCR?”

So Curren decided to start recruiting musicians and the band spent two years learning all the songs, dialing in the sound and getting ready to bring their music to the region.

Curren said this is their first trip out to the coast, and

they are ready to get people up and dancing to CCR’s hits.

“John Fogerty is having a resurgence, everybody know their music,” Curren said.

“We love their music, because there is such a large volume of work really good to dance to.”

Curren expects this night to be one that you will not want to miss in downtown Tillamook.

“We’re going to blow the place away,” he added.

“This will be a show where everybody has fun, I guarantee everybody is going to love this night out.”

About UNLEASHED

UNLEASHED is a rockin’ band for connoisseurs of Seattle-sound, 90’s live rock music. It was the Seattle sound that became a national movement—a ca-

cophony of distorted rock and screaming feedback that came to define an entire generation of American youth. Their shared angst, greasy hair, and metaphorical middle fingers raised against the establishment all imbued into raw, holy noise (along with a hell of a lot of Pacific NW flannel)!

Grunge was a genre as much as it was a lifestyle!

UNLEASHED pays homage to the iconic vocalists of the 90’s including

What an incredible few days here in Cape Meares, with a record snowfall and frigid temperatures. Residents at the top of 4th St. NW had 13” of snow; we had 10” at the Steen household, mid-way up 3rd St. NW. An exuberant neighbor skied through town and made a snow dog. Another tobogganed and made a snow woman. A couple of neighbors took fabulous pictures of Pyramid Rock, way out there in the ocean, covered with snow. Others shared panoramic vistas of our village in the snow (if you are not yet on our

neighborhood social media site, MeWe, you might not be seeing all this—step it up, neighbors!). And yes, indeed, there was snow on the beach—just as in the Taylor Swift song, which one granddaughter insisted I listen to. On the not-so-good side, a white truck ended up in the ditch on Pacific Ave. NW, at least two houses had frozen pipes, and mail wasn’t delivered on our hill for two days. A neighbor who drove over Highway 6 from the valley on the second day of the snow event said that only about 30% of that road was sanded, and he had to keep

his truck in 4WD for about a third of the trip. Talk about a bonding experience! Those of us who were in Cape Meares for this Snowmageddon will never forget it. Just to top it off, after that big snowfall melted, the next day

36th Annual

we awoke to another 1-1/4” of snow. And thus ended February 2023.

Another bonding experience has been less enthralling, but the good news is that the 11 individuals stricken by the outbreak of COVID in our community are on the mend. I don’t know of anyone who was seriously ill or hospitalized—just a number who were miserable for several days, including Capt. Pete and me. There was one rebound case. All are on the upswing now; we can be grateful this didn’t occur earlier in the pandemic.

Cape Meares had a team

all signed up for the Three Capes Marathon, the “race with a view,” scheduled to be held Feb. 25. Due to inclement weather, however, the race was canceled. Snow and ice undoubtedly coated the raceway up Cape Meares Mountain on that day; we still had quite a bit of snow and ice here in the village through that weekend.

Robert “Butch” Freedman will be reading at the Writers Read Celebration at the Cannon Beach Library (131 N. Hemlock St.) on March 10 at 7 p.m. The theme this year is “Hemingway at the Beach.”

Writers were asked for sub-

missions written in the style of Hemingway—or imagining what Hemingway would think about the North Coast. Butch’s submission was among 10 chosen to be read. His story imagines Hemingway as a Cape Meares surfer. Sounds intriguing; hope some of us can attend.

The Rockaway Renaissance Artists group has several upcoming milestones worth noting. First is an exhibition at the Rockaway Beach Library, 120 N. Coral, beginning Wednesday, March 8. This marks the first example of a partnership that’s been discussed for months, and is an exciting development for both sides.

If you’ve followed my previous columns about the library, you might recall that the library has been investing in display space near the front door. First, the many commemorative plaques honoring the initial contributors who made it possible to convert a private home into the Rockaway Library some 30 years ago have been consolidated into a single plaque, now mounted behind the librarian’s desk. (If you, a friend or family member were honored in one or more of the original plaques, please contact the library and arrange to have it presented for you.) That wall space now makes it possible to hang all kinds of art works, from photographs to paintings to fabric art, and from what I know of

the creativity represented by the Rockaway Renaissance Artists, there are likely to be several of each, and perhaps even greater variety.

The theme of this exhibit is The Pacific Northwest, and the artists’ interpretations of why and how much we love this part of the coast are sure to be varied and engaging.

Rick Hampton, known on social media as “Rick’s Pics,” is one of several group members who are coordinating the efforts and preparing the exhibition. Rick’s photographs of the scenic beauty, wildlife, and grandeur of the coast are well known, but always breathtaking, and the sheer volume of images is impressive on its own. Naturally, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, Rick has some incred-

ible sunsets in his portfolio.

“People ask me how I can have more than a thousand sunset photos when there are only 365 days in a year,” Rick told me. “Well, there are 22 spots along the highway from Cannon Beach: pull outs, scenic overlooks, and more. Every spot is different.”

In addition, Robin Bock is coordinating the event, and I for one look forward to her fabric art. In addition to traditional quilting patterns, Robin’s fabric art includes a beautiful, impressionistic representation of our iconic Twin Rocks, which she displayed last September at the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD).

Speaking of NCRD, the Renaissance Artists will be returning there on April 1, this time in the Fireside Room. This lovely spot has a gas fireplace, a kitchenette, a baby grand piano and a gallery wall for displaying artworks. NCRD is located at 36155 9th St in Nehalem. The exhibit begins at 8 AM on Saturday the 1st.

March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Each March, health professionals, community members, state entities, and the National Council on Problem Gambling come together to observe Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The goals of this month-long observance are to raise awareness of problem gambling, promote problem gambling prevention, encourage health providers to screen clients for problem gambling, and to raise awareness of problem gambling treatment and recovery services. To learn more about Problem Gambling Awareness Month visit:www.ncpgambling. org.

Gambling is an activity that carries risk and some people who gamble may develop problems. Problem gambling can be defined as when a person’s gambling disrupts their life or the lives of others (family members, friends, coworkers, and clients).

Common consequences of problem gambling include relationship strain, financial instability, loss of productivity in school or work, increased anxiety, depression, and substance use. Each year, there are Oregonians of all ages are impacted by problem gambling. According to the Oregon Health Authority, there are an estimated 84,000 Oregon adults and adolescents who meet the clinical diagnosis for a gambling disorder; and another 180,000 Oregonians who are at risk of developing problem gambling. Free and confidential problem gambling treatment is available to Oregonians.

This year, local health providers will be participating in the observance of Problem Gambling Awareness Month. One provider who will participate in this month-long observance is the Tillamook Family Counseling Center (TFCC). This month, TFCC will present a resolution request to the Tillamook County Board of County Commis-

sioners, present a virtual ‘Introduction of Problem Gambling Prevention’ presentation, and other outreach activities.

This month, I encourage all community members to take some time to participate in Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Continue reading to get ideas on how you can participate in this observance.

Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation receives a $100K endowment from Loren E. Parks Trust recently

The Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation has received a 100K endowment from the Loren E. Parks Trust that will support healthcare pathways students.

The Loren E. Parks Trust Endowed Scholarship will be used to support Healthcare Pathways students – such as EMS, Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and Nursing Assistant.

The ability to support a variety of TBCC students in a booming industry is extremely beneficial because the cost of equipment and fees associated with healthcare pathways are higher than in other TBCC classes. The perpetual support of the Loren E. Parks Trust Endowed Scholarship will help many healthcare pathways students pursue their careers with less financial

stress.

For the past three years, the Trust has been managed by four trustees. Jerry Dove, a trustee, spoke to why the endowment would go towards healthcare pathways students, “Loren made his living inventing, manufacturing, and selling medical electronics; and my wife, Johna Dove, is a retired RN. The Trust has donated to the hospital several times, and Johna and I want to see our local hospital have and retain locals in the medical field.”

The Loren E. Parks Trust Endowed Scholarship will support healthcare pathways students in many ways. Funds can be used for tuition, fees, books, educational expenses, living expenses, and childcare.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The power of your voice

The City of Tillamook is represented by a council of six. Each one is elected through a ward system that contain about 1,000 people. Votes in these wards average about 250. This is to say that 250 voters will determine one each of the two council seats that are on the upcoming ballot. Yet, those two councilors will make decisions that affect ALL 6,000+ residents, as well as millions of visitors of the City of Tillamook.

You may not be a registered voter in Ward 2 or 5 in the City of Tillamook. You may not have the power to vote for one of the councilors that will be elected there on March 14, 2023. But, you do have your voice and I encourage you to use it. These two councilors will technically be representing you, and their decisions will affect your life in some way over the next four years.

Housing, homelessness,

crime, public safety, tourism, road maintenance, taxes, business issues, garage sale permits, business permits and limitations, community development, city improvements, etc.; all of these issues fall under the guidance of a City Council. In addition, they interface with county and federal agencies for funding, guidelines, safety, and improvements. In short, it’s a big job that affects many people.

Although you may not be able to vote directly for one of these candidates there are many ways that you can help the people that will be voting make the best decision. #1 Ask questions of the candidates. You can do this on Facebook via MooVoter, or via their email which is listed on the county website (https:// www.co.tillamook.or.us/clerk/ elections/clone-2023-marchspecial-election), some have Facebook pages, some you may know personally. #2 Write letters to the editor or share your opinion via social

Thank You PUD

The snow we’ve had this past week caused a lot of problems for everyone. More importantly we thank the Linemen from Tillamook PUD for the great job they did restoring power to everyone. They worked very hard, and went without sleep and hot meals for some time bringing the power back so we could be safe and warm. Thank you - for your dedication and hard work - we all appreciate it.

David & Kim DeSau Neskowin

Rockaway Renaissance Artists will also be presenting at the Rockaway Roastery, 165 S. Miller, at the pop-up market planned for March 25 from 11 Am - 6 PM.

“This is more for table top art,” Kristina said, “maybe things on small easels, shells and rock art, knitting, jewelry, painted tiles.” I’ll be writing more about the pop-up market in coming weeks. I hope to see you at one or all of these events.

Harold Skarda and Agnes

Mary Ann Briskey Skarda, was born on July 24, 1943 in Hustisford, Wisconsin, and died on February 6, 2023 in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, Central America.

The Skarda family moved to Tillamook County Oregon in 1944. In 1951 they bought a dairy on Old Woods Road. Jacqui attended school in Cloverdale, graduating from Nestucca Union High School as the Salutatorian of the class of 1961. Recipient of multiple scholarships, Jacqui chose to go to Pacific Business College in Portland. She used her business education to support herself while she spent 100 hours per month in volunteer bible education.

Early in her life Jacqui chose to become a baptized Jehovah’s Witness. At age 24 she was chosen to complete a specialized course in bible instruction and missionary training at the Watchtower School of Gilead in New York City, graduating on March 10, 1968. Jacqui spent

Stanley E. Kephart May 1, 1949 ~ Feb. 21, 2023

his bountiful garden which he was very proud of. You were always able to find fresh fruit, vegetables, and dahlias which he was more than happy to share.

Stan passed away in McMinnville, OR on February 21, 2023, with family by his side.

Liz began her schooling at Riverdale (grades 1-4), East (grades 5-6), Tillamook Junior High (grades 7-8), and was graduated from Tillamook High School in 1962. After high school, Liz attended Northwest Nazarene College in Nampa, Idaho where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Home Economics equipping her for a teaching career that spanned many decades. Her first job took her to McDermitt, Nevada where she made many lifelong friends. After Nevada, Liz moved briefly to Burns, Oregon to continue teaching; she then returned to Tillamook to help care for family. She maintained her teaching career in Tillamook during those years starting at the middle school and eventually moving to the high school where she truly enjoyed teaching home economics. When home economics was removed from the high school curriculum, Liz was crushed and considered it a grave error depriving students of such valuable, practical life skills. Very soon after that, Liz retired from teaching.

Being a talented communicator, Liz thoroughly enjoyed her interactions with family and friends. Her uncanny memory allowed her to treasure each person as a special individual. Her tender heart brought many blessings to others as she shared her words, her food, her gifts, her precious homemade cards, and most importantly: her time. For many years she kept the THS Class of ’62 connected through her emails and letters as they met monthly for luncheons. When the 50th Class Reunion was on the horizon Liz became the CoChairman and poured countless hours into planning, organizing, and producing a memory book that her class mates use and cherish to this day.

One of Liz’s friends remembers her serving as a young tour guide at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. She also was a member of the Fair Board from 1985-

1987 and served as secretary for two of those years. Another of her volunteer commitments was to the Tillamook High School Alumni Scholarship Fund where she served for several years. In 1996 she began a 23-year stint working in the Textile Department at the Tillamook County Fair where she encouraged the 4H students, enjoyed the camaraderie of her co-workers, and greeting the many fair visitors. She would even compete with other volunteers to see who knew the most visitors to their department. Liz was fun! Teriyaki chicken and elephant ears usually rounded out her yearly fair experience.

As Liz was growing up the Landis family extended their love, their home, and their faith to many young people needing a safe haven and encouragement. Liz truly loved people and she maintained many of those early relationships her entire life. She had many family reunions at her home as she welcomed relatives from many states. In her later years she took care of the Landis homestead by keeping it mowed and attractively landscaped. She also looked after local cousins who needed help in their senior years. Her love for others knew no bounds and was expressed in many helpful ways.

Elizabeth Ann is survived by her niece Julie Neal, nephews Dan Neal, and David Neal, many beloved cousins, and some truly wonderful friends. She is predeceased by her parents, her sister Caroline (Ky) Neal, and niece Lee Ann Neal.

In remembering and celebrating Liz’s life there will be a Memorial Service at Waud’s Funeral Home, on March 18th at 1 PM, 1414 Third Street in Tillamook.

Jerry Warren, originally from Tillamook, will be officiating. A graveside service will be held at the Bay City IOOF Cemetery 7555 Doughty Rd, Tillamook, OR 97141 on March 18th at 11 AM.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Liz, the following organizations would accept donations in her name: Kilchis Point Reserve (and Trail), www.tcpm.org or at the Pioneer Museum 2106 2nd Street; Tillamook County 4-H Association, 4506 3rd Street; or Tillamook Alumni Scholarship Fund, P O Box 195, Tillamook, OR 97141.

Joyce Marie Deane was born July 11, 1928 in Tillamook, Oregon to Walter and Elizabeth (Balmer) Wismer and passed away February 27, 2023 in Coquille, Oregon at the age of 94.

Joyce is a 1946 graduate of Tillamook High School and later attended Northwest Nazarene College for 1 year.

In 1948 she married and moved to California and worked as a nurses aide.

In 1968 she moved to Tillamook, Oregon and worked as a Dialysis Aide in homes

Tillamook Baseball has eyes on returning to State

Mike Weber For The Herald

A year ago, the Tillamook High Cheesemakers advanced

to the OSAA baseball state playoffs for the first time in nine years, which was a fabulous accomplishment. A year later, the Mooks are expecting

3.40

3.65 11 3.90

4.10

to be an even stronger state playoff team again, while they’re hoping to go even further than last year.

The Mooks, guided by third-year Coach Matt Strang, have every reason to be optimistic about the 2023 season. First and foremost is that Tillamook has a very experienced and talented squad with eight seniors returning from the 2022 team that finished in second place (8-4) in the Class 4A Cowapa League and was 10-11 overall.

“Our expectations are high and we’re hoping to get all the way to the state championship game this year,” said Strang. “Our No. 1 goal though is to win the Cowapa League title and we’ll have a good chance to do that. The guys are showing a lot of confidence and they’re acting like it so far in practice. Scappoose will also have a pretty good team too, so we’ll definitely have some tough competition in our league.”

Tillamook took second in the league last year to the Banks High Braves (12-0 league, 22-2 overall last year). Banks moved down to Class 3A with the OSAA reclassification last year. The last time Tillamook won the Cowapa League championship was in 1993.

The Mooks, who finished with a No. 14 ranking last year, concluded their season with a 5-0 first round playoff loss to the No. 3 ranked North Marion High Huskies (23-5) on May 25, 2022. This year, the Cheesemakers will be focusing on getting past the first round and going far into the playoffs.

“Everyone kind of has the same attitude right now and they feel like this is our year,” said Strang. “This group of seniors has been playing on the varsity squad the last three years. They didn’t play baseball in their freshman year becasue of COVID. They’ve played baseball together since they were in junior high, they’ve stuck together for a long time. They have a good attitude, they know it’s their last chance and they know that if they want to do something big, they have to do it now and they really believe it’s going to be their year.”

Tillamook started the season with the first day of practice Feb. 27 with a total of 28 players that comprise the varsity and the junior varsity team. The Mooks are preparing for the first contest on their 24-game schedule, which is a Mar. 15 4:30 p.m. matchup on the road versus the Newport High Cubs (17-8 in 2022).

“We have a lot to be excited about and I’m really looking forward to the beginning of the season,” said Strang. “At the same time, there’s a lot of pressure on the team, because I feel like they can go a long way too. We really need to have a breakout season this year in terms of Tillamook standards. With the high expectations, there is a lot of pressure. We feel like every single practice needs to be perfect. In order to win a state championship, you can’t make very many mistakes and you have to be solid all the way through.”

Tillamook’s 12-game Cowapa League schedule starts April 4 on the road against the Astoria High Fishermen (6-17 in 2022). The Mooks first home game is April 6 versus the Molalla High Indians (518 in 2022).

“So far after one week of practice things have been awesome,” said Strang. “The guys are focused, they know what our goal is and we’re working towards that.”

Since they lost only two seniors (Junior Gonzalez, Dillon Stein) from last year, the Mooks have nearly the same team coming back onto the field in 2023. The Mooks will be led by senior Parker McKibbin, an All Cowapa League Pitcher who was also selected for an All State Third Team Pitcher Award last year.

The Mooks will also rely on the senior trio of All Cowapa League Award winners from last season, that includes Cade Ross, Bryce Harmerl and Trevor Leonnig. Other seniors who will also help provide Tillamook with a solid and experienced team include Garrison Gunder, Caleb Stewart, Ashton Hathaway and Tyler Moncrief. In addition, the Mooks varsity squad also includes two juniors and two freshmen.

meals: Plant-based proteins like legumes, beans, lentils, or tofu are highly nutritious and often cheaper than meat at the grocery store. You might find that switching a meal or two each week to a plant-based protein like dried beans or legumes can help stretch your food dollars and still be tasty and satisfying. For preparation and cooking tips, Food Hero is a great resource, or a quick Google search will get you started.

3. Shop smart: Try to stick to the list you created – you might find that eating a snack before shopping will help reduce any hungerinduced impulse buying! Look for any generic or store brand items that may be cheaper and utilize avail-

able coupons or sign up for rewards programs at your local grocery store. When debating between two of the same items that are different sizes, consider how much of the item you need or will use. Buying the larger item (or “buying in bulk”) can be a better deal for the amount you receive, but only if it’s an item that you’ll be able to use completely before it expires.

4. Buy canned or frozen fruits & veggies: Fresh produce can make up a large part of a grocery bill, but canned or frozen fruits and vegetables can still provide plenty of nutrients for a better price. Just keep an eye out to avoid canned items stored in syrup or with added sugar or salt. For frozen items, look for

those either stored without a sauce or labeled as “lightly sauced” to avoid extra sugar or salt.

5. Utilize local resources: Food Roots is a non-profit that provides local fresh fruits and veggies, dairy and meat products here in Tillamook County. They are part of the Double Up Food Bucks program so if you spend $10 in SNAP/EBT, then they will provide another $10 of goods at no extra cost. And as an added bonus, SNAP shoppers can receive free delivery of Food Roots items, check out their website to learn more: https://www.foodrootsnw. org/

6. Give yourself grace: There will always be weeks where things don’t work out quite as you hoped, and that’s okay! Remember to be kind and patient with yourself as you try out new things, and don’t feel like you need to change an entire lifestyle overnight - small steps can still have a big impact.

For inspiration, check out this quick weeknight dinner recipe from Food Hero:

Pasta with Greens and Beans

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients - 8 ounces pasta (try penne)

- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil - 3 cloves garlic, minced or 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder - 10 ounces frozen spinach - 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice - 1 can (15 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed - ½ teaspoon salt - ½ teaspoon pepper -½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside.

3. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic and cook on low (250 degrees F in an electric skillet) until soft.

4. Add spinach, tomatoes with juice, beans, salt and pepper. Once the mixture bubbles, cook uncovered on low heat for 5 minutes.

5. Add drained pasta and parmesan cheese to spinach mixture. Toss well and serve.

6. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Recipe Notes

• Substitute cleaned and chopped fresh spinach (about 6 cups).

• Try other greens, such as Swiss chard or kale instead of spinach. Be sure to clean greens well and cook them until soft.

• Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups drained beans.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS VEGETATION MANAGEMENT NO SPRAY ZONE AGREEMENT TO: ALL TILLAMOOK COUNTY RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS Tillamook County Public Works (TCPW) no longer has an operator to conduct weed spraying

within the county rights of way and intends to contract this work for 2023. The contractor is required to have a valid Department of Agriculture license specific to right of way applications. We have found that many properties have been sold and new owners no longer maintain vegetation within the right-of-way as may have been done in the past even though signs are present. A field review of no spray signs revealed that there are many different types of no spray signs from homemade to commercially produced signs. A review of prior no spray agreements identified that very few are currently valid. Spray contractors that have a valid license will not have the local knowledge of

Hi, my name is TJ. I’m a stunningly handsome ginger boy. I am just plain fun. In fact, my cat mom calls me a ‘sprinter.” I love to play zoomies around the house. In fact, I just love to play. But, as you can see, I have my quiet moments. I get along great with other cats. I’ve heard of dogs and kids, but I’ve never met one. With a slow introduction, it should be fine. I’ve heard that by the time you read this, I should be snipped and clipped, whatever that means. Right now I’m not much of a lap cat. The other kitties tell me that being petted in laps is the best! I’m sure that you’ll show me that it’s true. Can’t wait!. If you’d like to be my forever home, (how could you not?), here’s the link to our online adoption form that you’ll need. See you soon. https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/online-adoption-application/
