STR committee hammers out parking regs

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook County’s ShortTerm Rental Advisory Committee devoted the entirety of their four and a half hour meeting on April 3 to discussing parking regulations for short-term rental properties.

The issue, one of the biggest the committee will face, brought the challenge of crafting an ordinance that will work across the many contexts in the county to the forefront but was resolved with general committee consensus.

Commissioner Erin Skaar started the meeting off by addressing concerns that she had heard from committee members and citizens and offering some direction to the committee.

Skaar said that the commissioners remained committed to ending the pause on new license issuance by the July 1 deadline they had set. She said that the commissioners appreciated the role that short-term rentals play in Tillamook County’s economy and were uninterested in getting rid of them.

However, she told the committee that the commissioners were also not interested in allowing “unfettered” growth of the properties. She said that if the new ordinance did not include growth management tools, a group of citizens was likely to put forward a ballot measure banning short-term rentals in the county, as they had considered doing before the pause.

Skaar urged the committee to readdress the growth management discussion which it had tabled previously. She said that there was a “high likelihood” some sort of tool would be included in the ordinance approved by commissioners.

“We are 100% in support of a balance in our community and that’s why the committee looks the way it does,” Skaar said.

She also noted that the county staff working with the committee were keeping track of the dissenting opinions during the process, which will be compiled and presented to the commissioners in a minority report.

Discussion then began on parking regulations in the new ordinance.

The draft of the ordinance that the committee discussed had a requirement of one parking space per bedroom at short-term rentals. It required that the spots be eight feet by 20 feet, fit within the property’s boundaries, allow for maneuverability and that a diagram of the parking be displayed in the rental. It also provided an allowance for off-site parking on a property within 500 feet of the rental.

Ordinance 84, the ordinance currently regulating short-term rentals, requires one parking spot per bedroom and an additional parking spot, while allowing for two of the required spots to be on-street.

Short-term rental operators expressed concern that the minimum requirement would limit certain properties from renting out all bedrooms due to lack of commensurate parking spaces. They noted n See STR, Page A2

Hunkered down ... Beekeepers abuzz with busy spring

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook Beekeepers Association has a busy spring ahead as it prepares for the opening of a new apiary and garden learning center and the Sixth Annual Bee Days.

The Bee Days will be hosted in conjunction with the Headlight Herald’s Home and Garden Show at the fairgrounds on April 29 and 30, and the apiary and garden center is expected to open at the Port of Tillamook Bay in May.

“It just kind of evolved into a neat idea,” Beekeeper Association President Brad York said about the new learning center, “instead of just talking about it you can look inside the hive.”

The new $11,000 learning center will sit on half an acre that was donated by the port and was made possible thanks in part to a donation from the Tillamook People’s Utility District. York said that the group plans to give students and other interested community members a hands-on experience with bees and to help educate them on the plants that help sustain them in Tillamook.

The beekeepers’ association started in the 1970s or 1980s as an informal group of hobbyists across the county. Six years ago, they formally incorporated and quickly started attracting n See BEES, Page A3

Proposed changes to national flood insurance plan draw harsh criticism at FEMA meeting

Representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency updated residents of Tillamook on proposed changes to the national flood insurance plan that would greatly restrict development in the 100-year flood plain.

Several dozen community members, including county government representatives, workers from the dairy, logging and fishing industries, and concerned property owners took the FEMA representatives to task over the economic impacts of the proposed change.

John Graves, who manages the national flood insurance plan for FEMA in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska, started the meeting by giving the hundred-person-plus crowd an overview of the changes and the history behind them.

The national flood insurance program was started in 1968 to provide subsidized insurance for homeowners against flooding. That support is conditioned on localities adopting FEMA-approved ordinances to reduce the risk of flooding through building standards and development restrictions.

The currently proposed updates to the program were precipitated by a 2009 lawsuit by the Audubon Society, which claimed that the flood insurance program was causing harm to coho salmon in Oregon. The suit claimed that the program operated in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act that says government agencies shall not harm endangered species.

FEMA commissioned the National Marine Fisheries Service to investigate the claim and in 2016, the fisheries service released a report saying that the flood insurance plan was causing a take of coho and other salmonids that would lead to their eventual extinction.

Since that biological opinion was rendered, FEMA has been working on changes to the program that would bring it into compliance with federal laws on endangered species.

The biological opinion called for the program to update the ordinances for building in flood plains to achieve zero net loss in three areas of floodplain functionality that help

preserve fish habitat: flood storage, water quality and riparian vegetation.

Under the new rules, any projects proposed in the 100-year floodplain would have to include mitigation efforts that would lead to no loss in any of the three fish habitat functions to receive building permits. The new regulations would allow normal agricultural, forestry and fishing activities in the floodplain but would make placing fill, adding water impervious surfaces or removing vegetation more difficult to permit and costly.

Since FEMA is a federal agency and not allowed to make land use laws, it will be relying on the localities it partners with in the flood insurance program to implement the new standards.

Graves said that after listening to feedback from their partner communities, FEMA had decided to offer four different options for communities to satisfy the new requirements. Localities can use a FEMA model ordinance, develop an ordinance using a FEMA checklist, develop a community compliance plan for FEMA approval or create a habitat conservation plan for review by federal agencies.

Former Congressman Peter DeFazio delayed progress on the updates for three years, but with his retirement and lack of further congressional delay last year, the development process is now moving forward into its scoping phase.

The Tillamook meeting was the first of five meetings to gather public feedback with three planned inperson meetings around the state and two more to be conducted virtually before the end of April. The proposed updates would affect all but five counties in Oregon.

Even before the public comment section of the meeting, the disgust with the proposed changes was palpable in the room, with audience members interjecting to question assertions in Graves’s presentation. One man asked, “what about the extinction of businesses,” while Graves discussed the biological opinion’s dire predictions of salmonid extinction, and others expressed derision for the notion that these changes were not land use regulations being issued by FEMA.

After Graves completed his presentation, two other colleagues gave more specifics on the plan’s technical components and opened the meeting to public comment.

Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto kicked off the public comment. Yamamoto said that he had been following the progress of the biological opinion and flood insurance plan updates for six or seven years, concerned all along at the implications for Tillamook County.

He said that the plan was turning FEMA into an environmental policy implementation agency, a responsibility that it was shunting onto counties and cities by making them enforce new restrictions on property owners. These restrictions will amount to property takings under the fifth amendment, according to Yamamoto, requiring the governments enforcing them to compensate property owners for lost value or face a litany of litigation seeking the same.

Yamamoto said that he had asked FEMA officials if they would help pay for these costs and they had told him they would not.

Yamamoto said that this left the county in a tenuous position, as noncompliance would mean not only exclusion from the national flood insurance plan but all of FEMA’s services.

After laying out the urgency of the situation for the county, Yamamoto took issue with the more fundamental conclusions reached by the biological opinion about the future of salmonids. He said that Tillamook County has led the way on preserving habitat for coho salmon and other salmonids over the past thirty years. He pointed to numerous bridge updates, riparian zone rehabilitation projects, flood gate removals and other projects undertaken by the county and property owners through and said that credit was never given for those projects.

Yamamoto wondered why a take of wild coho salmon was allowed in Tillamook County if the preservation situation is as dire as the new measures suggest.

Yamamoto said that he had been meeting monthly with officials from FEMA for the past year and a half but that he hadn’t seen any of his

concerns addressed in updates to the proposal.

Several dozen community members then proceeded to harshly criticize the plan and the impacts that it would have on Tillamook’s economy.

Concerns about the impact on the dairy industry were foremost in comments with around three quarters of the dairy farms in Tillamook County lying in flood plains. While the new provisions would not impact existing structures, they would seriously complicate repairs or additions.

During his presentation, Graves had noted that improvements and repairs within the footprint of existing buildings would not be subject to the new standards.

However, Damian Laviolette, a business owner who has been in contact with FEMA, said that that exception would not apply in the case of “substantial” changes to the structure, which are defined as costing more than 50% of the building’s assessed value. Laviolette pointed out that this would make replacing buildings damaged in fires, floods or other natural disasters cost prohibitive, as well as effectively stopping new growth.

Another group seriously concerned about the new regulations was representatives from ports. Mike Saindon, the Port of Garibaldi’s general manager, and his counterpart from the Port of Toledo both voiced concerns about impacts on their ability to dredge at their facilities.

Graves confirmed that dredging was considered a development activity and that the ports would need to comply with the new ordinances to perform dredging operations. Both port managers said that this would endanger their business, as dredging was essential to continued operations and already expensive to the point where the additional regulations would make it financially impracticable.

The restrictions on dredging also alarmed the dairy farmers at the meeting, who said that dredging the irrigation trenches on their properties was a normal and necessary part of their work.

That growth has allowed the club to greatly expand its offerings. It currently has monthly meetings at the port and offers quarterly classes to the public to learn about beekeeping.

Beyond these specific complaints about the proposed modifications to the flood insurance program, commenters expressed deep unhappiness about the general conceit. Like Yamamoto, numerous commenters said that they felt that Tillamook County residents have been strong stewards of the environment and were offended that the changes seemed to completely ignore that.

There was also a sense of distrust of federal government agencies dictating land use regulations to local governments, which several com-

TPUD awards community support grants

Tillamook PUD is pleased to announce the local organizations selected to receive funding through the Community Support Grant Program in 2023.

This year, a total of 27 applications requesting a combined amount of over $205,000 in funding were received. With so many valuable community projects submitted and limited funds budgeted towards the program, the selection decision was especially challenging for the Board of Directors. Upon a comprehensive review process, the following not-for-profit entities were awarded funds for their community projects this year:

• The City of Garibaldi- for the fire department training facility property.

• Fire Mountain School- for emergency preparedness.

• Hoffman Center for the Arts- for facility audio-visual equipment.

• Lower Nehalem Community Trust- for electrical upgrades.

• Meals for Seniors, Inc.for kitchen facility electrical improvements.

• Neskowin Valley Schoolfor the Tech for Teachers program.

• Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad- for machine shop equipment restoration.

• Port of Garibaldi- for the public restroom remodel project.

• Sitka Center for Art & Ecology- for the campus fire system replacement and electrical wall repair project.

• Tillamook Beekeepers Association- for the apiary and garden learning center.

• Tillamook County Composite Squadron 114, Civil Air Patrol- for a storage building facility.

• Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity- for electrical work at houses in Bay City and Garibaldi.

challenging task,” York said. “Used to be you could stick a hive of bees in your backyard and just extract honey a couple of times a year and not worry about it but not anymore.”

York said that maintaining hives has become a complicated task, thanks largely to the Varroa destructor mite, which lays waste to colonies. The mite necessitates quarterly chemical treatments to ensure hive survival and frustrates many newcomers to the hobby, according to York. In addition to educational support on dealing with the mite and other challenges, the club has purchased a com-

menters said they felt was part of a long-running trend. No commenters spoke in favor of the proposed changes and the FEMA representatives did their best to answer questions about the proposal’s impacts while making note of the myriad complaints being lodged.

Public comment continued for well over an hour, pushing past the meeting’s two-hour scheduled timeframe, before finally starting to slow down. At that point, Commissioner Mary Faith Bell addressed the crowd and reiterated Yamamoto’s comments from earlier in the meeting about the serious impacts the changes would have on the county and its economy. Bell said that without financial support from the federal government to make property owners whole, there was a

mercial grade honey extraction machine, now located at its Honey House at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Club mem-

“real scenario” where the county could face bankruptcy from litigation.

Public comments on the plan will be accepted until May 5, and FEMA will be hosting in-person events in Pendleton and Eugene and two virtual townhalls on April 18 and April 20 at 4 p.m.

The comment period will be followed by the development of the draft environmental impact statement, which is expected to be completed and published by December 2023. That draft will be open for additional public comment in early 2024, and updates will be made prior to the publication of a final draft in December 2024 before community implementation in 2025.

bers can use the machine for a small fee and sell the resulting honey to offset the cost of maintaining their hives.

The club also started raising its own queens last year, removing the need for overnight shipping of new queens from distant suppliers.

In conjunction with its formal incorporation six years ago, the association also began hosting the annual Bee Days Celebration.

The celebration takes place in conjunction with the Headlight Herald’s Home and Garden Show and includes the display of a live hive encased in glass. The Bee Days event also helps to raise funds for the club through the raffle of a custom beehive. This year’s hive has a dairy theme and the drawing will occur on

April 30. In past years, funds raised have gone towards planting trees across the county to increase bees’ food supply, with $3,000 donated to plant 85 trees last year. “There’s not enough forage for the honeybee right now, especially in Tillamook,” York said, noting that a flowering tree provided the same amount of pollen as an acre of flowers. This year, the club will be using the money raised at Bee Days to complete landscaping work at the new garden. Please send any comments to headlightreporter@ countrymedia.net.

Bonamici hosts rural broadband discussion

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici hosted an event to discuss the United States Department of Agriculture’s Reconnect Program, which is helping to expand rural access to broadband internet.

The event at Atfalati Ridge Elementary School in North Plains on April 5, welcomed USDA Undersecretary for Rural Development Xochitl Torres-Small, Senator Ron Wyden and various representatives from north coast organizations involved in and impacted by rural internet challenges.

USDA’s reconnect program is investing $2 billion of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act to expand rural access to broadband internet across the country. As of the end of last year, Oregon had received $75 million from the program, helping to connect almost 5,000 rural residents.

Bonamici opened the meeting by welcoming those assembled and thanking the school’s principal for hosting the group.

Bonamici said that internet was infrastructure in the

21st century and particularly emphasized the importance of broadband in education. She said that she was proud of the funding that the last congress had dedicated to advancing rural broadband access.

“We talked about infrastructure for a long time before we got it done,” Bonamici said.

Wyden spoke next, noting the importance of the internet in the future of medical care, especially for rural Americans. “We’ve got a lot of work to do with respect to telemedicine,” Wyden said.

Torres-Small thanked Bonamici for the invite and said that in addition to facilitating education and telemedicine, broadband access in rural communities would allow for continued economic development. She said that enhancing rural broadband connectivity was key to allowing future generations to stay in those communities.

Bonamici then opened the meeting up to a discussion by the concerned stakeholders in the room.

A student from a local high school shared about his struggles with data limits constricting his educational pursuits during the pandemic. Then

the principal of the newly constructed elementary school hosting the event discussed the importance of having broadband at the school and in the growing neighborhood it serves.

Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto reiterated the importance of broadband connectivity in both education and economic development for rural communities. He talked about Nestucca School District, where all the students have Chromebooks but less than 40% had internet access at home suitable for educational pursuits during the pandemic.

Yamamoto discussed Tillamook’s longstanding efforts to facilitate broadband access, in the form of Tillamook Light Wave, which has worked to expand access for more than two decades.

He noted that the county had been successful in applying for grants from a wide variety of organizations, including the Tillamook County Creamery Association and Business Oregon.

Yamamoto asked the federal representatives if there would be a way to streamline the grant application process for the funds. He said that

the annual or biannual grant periods led to resources being spent on applications that could be better spent elsewhere. He also suggested that funds be directed through regional organizations, which could then oversee disbursement to counties and cities, saving further resources.

Other participants in the discussion echoed Yamamoto’s requests and asked that focus be given to ensuring that internet service be affordable once made available.

Torres-Small said that the USDA already has programs that provide vouchers to lowincome residents to keep the cost of high-speed internet to $30 a month.

Including the $2 billion being directed through the USDA, a total of $65 billion was allocated in the infrastructure bill to increase internet access across the country. $42.45 billion of that will be dispersed through the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program overseen by the Department of Commerce.

Commissioners announce $5.5 million contract for work at Cape Kiwanda

Tillamook County Commissioners approved a notice of intent to award a contract for $5.5 million of work on the Cape Kiwanda parking lot and restrooms at their April 5 meeting.

Nan Devlin of the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association also presented on the group’s work and commissioners announced another contract award for $400,000 for a project to evaluate properties for redevelopment.

The contract for $5.5 million of work at Cape Kiwanda was awarded to the Saunders company and work will begin soon after the ten-day period to contest the award has expired on April 19. Work

will continue until June, when it will be paused for the summer season, before resuming in October for a planned completion in June 2025. The project will see the demolition of the restroom currently standing in the parking lot, the construction of a replacement, the repaving of the parking lot and the addition of a path.

Funding for the project is mostly coming from transient lodging tax dollars, with a small contribution from the public works department budget and $490,000 budgeted from parking revenues.

Devlin, the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) executive director, updated commissioners on the work her organization has been doing over the past six months. The organization receives county funding to help communities with destination management and gives twice yearly reports to the commissioners.

Devlin was particularly

excited about the new Partners for Rural Food Systems program that TCVA formed with grants from Business Oregon and the Columbia Pacific Economic Development District. The program aims to promote innovation in rural food systems and its first two projects will be a seafood processing center at the Port of Garibaldi and an agricultural innovation center at the Port of Tillamook Bay, both set to open in June.

Another program that Devlin said she was excited about was the volunteer adventures program. The program welcomes various groups to Tillamook County to learn about conservation before doing a hands-on activity over the course of a day or weekend. This year, four groups have signed up to participate including the Girl Scouts of Salem and a group from Linfield University.

TCVA has also been working on a host of other

projects, including a recently completed wayfinding sign update in Rockaway Beach and an in-progress update in Bay City. They have also helped Manzanita and Bay City develop community destination management plans and are nearing completion on plans for Oceanside and Cape Meares.

The organization continues to focus on improving beach accessibility across the county, with nine beach wheelchairs currently being deployed.

The $400,000 for environmental analysis services from CHA Consulting is coming from a Brownfields Community Wide Assessment grant that Tillamook County received last June.

Housing Coordinator Thomas Fiorelli told commissioners that the brownfields program was developed by mayors from across the country to repurpose buildings and properties that potentially contain hazardous materials.

Fiorelli said that the program targeted properties that had issues that would deter developers from buying those properties but did not pose serious health or safety risks and could be mitigated. Examples of candidate properties include former drycleaning facilities, gas stations and factories.

CHA will help property owners evaluate their properties to determine necessary remediation and if work can progress on the site during remediation efforts.

A Brownfields Advisory Committee is being formed and a public meeting will be held at the Port of Tillamook Bay shortly after the contest period ends on the notice of intent to award the contract on April 19.

Fiorelli said that the assessment will focus on properties that could be redeveloped for housing and that there were more than 60 brownfields sites in the county. Please send any comments to headlightreporter@countrymedia.net.

STUFF! The cute store is chock-full of antiques, vintage clothing, whimsical collectibles, old books, unusual furniture, general housewares, and tchotchkes. Capt. Pete and I had fun looking over the merchandise the day after the shop’s grand opening. For the time being, Bazaar Bazaar is open 11-5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The Bakers plan to expand the store’s hours this summer. It’s great to see downtown Tillamook coming back to life after the pandemic. Our daughter Carole, her two sons and one son’s girlfriend came down for a day during spring break.

We fed them crab melts, tomato-basil soup, veggies and chips for lunch, followed by snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, and make-yourown sundaes with Tillamook ice cream and toppings for dessert. The crew walked on the beach, helped Capt. Pete load some heavy furniture in his truck, and then we went to town to buy them all hoodies

from Salty Raven. From light blue to teal, mustard yellow to orange, with a narwhal whale and a jellyfish, a mushroom and a salmon—those soft, warm hoodies cover the gamut. Check out Salty Raven’s recently expanded offerings online at saltyraven. net or at the Tillamook (109 Main Ave.) or Cannon Beach (140 S Hemlock Street) store. We ended the day with happy hour treats at Tora Sushi; yum, yum! We recently found a girl’s bike helmet washed up on the beach, decorated with images of watermelon slices and lemons and topped with a pink bow. It had been in the water a long time and was full of gooseneck barnacles. That same morning, we found a mannequin: the torso of a woman. Both of these finds were from container ship spills, according to beach-

combing friends in Washington, who have found similar items. I can’t find information online about the mannequin spill, but the bike helmet is from the cargo ship Zim Kinston that lost 109 shipping containers off Vancouver Island in a storm at sea in Oct. 2021 enroute from South Korea to Canada. Those containers had high-end Yeti, Ozark Trail and Orca coolers as well as children’s bike helmets. Keep your eyes peeled, fellow beachcombers; you never know what you will find after some west winds.

Cape Meares Lake has already had its first release of trout, per the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s (ODFW’s) 2023 stocking schedule. Four thousand trout were dumped in the lake just before spring break. Other dates on this year’s stocking schedule are the weeks of April 17, May 1, May 29, and Sept. 11. Better have that fishing rod handy, neighbors.

Pete Steen and Kevin Burke will be presenting an emergency management “Tech Prep” seminar for Cape Meares residents this Saturday, April 15, at 10 a.m. at the Barbara Bennett Community Center. Come learn how to keep the lights on and more.

Iwas pleased to connect with fellow-columnist Claire Moody in January so we could discuss bees in the garden. Claire’s Headlight Herald column was always one I read and cut out for reference because it had so much good information in it. I was sorry to hear from Claire last week when she informed me she could no longer take the time to write her bee-centric column as she was busy with the Tillamook Beekeepers Association and raising queen bees. As much as I will miss her columns, I had to admit hers was a higher calling. How special to be a “Queen of the Queens!” But have no fear, Claire forwarded me a lot of good information about how to attract bees into Tillamook gardens and I will be sharing that info in my columns periodically this season. First, she told me about a book she uses a lot. Kate Frey and Gretchen LeBuhn wrote “The Bee-Friendly Garden” in 2016 and it is a wealth of good information and lovely photos by Leslie Lindell. If you are any level of gardener who wants to attract pollinators into your garden, this is a good place to start.

Claire also forwarded me an article by Kathleen M. Prough who used to be on the staff of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Entomology and Plant Pathology. Although it is an article from the Midwest, it is certainly relevant for the Pacific Northwest too. Ms Prough had some excellent points about attracting bees. There are four areas we

need to consider when designing for bees. The first is Abundance, which basically refers to plant in clumps so the bees can find many flowers in one location. The bees need a reason to stop and feed, and clumping a variety of bee-friendly plants in one area offers them a smorgasbord of choices.

Secondly, plant for bloom succession and Sequence. Try to overlap the bloom times of plants from Spring to Fall. This will entail paying attention to when plants bloom, which can be found in most plant catalogs or online resources.

Diversity is also important. Try to find plants that provide nectar and pollen so the bees have a balanced diet. Trees and shrubs can be included in that diversity, not just perennials and annuals.

And last of the four is to Forgo Pesticide use. This is true of insecticides that will harm the bees and good pollinators as well as the insects you are trying to control. But it is also true of herbicides for the dandelions and white clover that you may consider to be weeds but the bees consider lunch. Let’s put to rest right now the myth that a lawn needs to be perfect with

no weeds of any sort. English daisies can give that lawn a charming appeal as well as attract bees.

When you are picking plants, start with the natives that attract native bees. Some great native shrubs to try are salal, oceanspray, Oregon grape, ceanothus and Nootka rose. Native perennials include bigleaf lupine, Canadian goldenrod, and Hall’s aster.

Bees are attracted to blooms that are bright white, blue or yellow in color. They like plants that have a landing area like a daisy, bee balm (Monarda) or coneflower. They also like tubular shapes like foxglove and Agastache. If the plant has pollen that is fragrant and sticky, that is a plus as well.

Of course, the choice of bee plants also needs to take in consideration the type of soil you have in your garden, plants you enjoy, and how large the plants get to be and how they will fit in with existing plants. Most bee plants prefer full to part sun, but that is natural as the bees like the sun as well.

And I will once again recommend keeping a journal. Try to keep a record of when the bee-friendly plants come into bloom and how long they bloom. Also important to record is the first sighting of bees and on which plants. What colors do your bees seem to prefer? What shape are the flowers? All this may take some serious observation skills. But truly, what better way is there to spend an afternoon than watching the bees?

LEGISLATIVE LETTER - CYRUS JAVADI

March marked the halfway point of the 2023 Legislative Session. I wish I could report that it is all downhill from here, but as the end of the session approaches, things will undoubtedly get more contentious.

Just like any business, the Legislature has deadlines. These deadlines help prioritize bills and keep the process moving by “thinning the herd” of bills that can pass and become law. Several of my bills were amongst those thinned. The most disappointing was my bill to protect North Coast jobs from a devastating Habitat Conservation Plan

Controversial Legislation

I noted that things would undoubtedly get more contentious as we head into the latter half of the Legislative Session. Here are two of the most controversial bills. I have more comprehensive comments in my newsletters (sign up here: www.oregonlegislature.gov/javadi).

HB 2002 – “Genderaffirming care” and AntiParental Rights

(HCP) proposed by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).

House Bill 3585 would have required the ODF to better balance the economic value of working forests and environmental protection. Around 300 North Coast timber jobs could be lost under the current HCP. Local law enforcement and school budgets would be devastated by decreased tax revenue.

I, along with other Representatives and Senators from the Coast, wrote Governor Kotek a letter urging her to work with the Department of Forestry to reverse course. It has been nearly a month, and we have not heard from the Governor.

Safe School Package

Last week, I joined my House Republican colleagues in supporting the Safe Schools Package following the tragic school shooting in Nashville. The seven-bill package would have funded school resource officers, invested in school safety technology, and studied ways to secure our schools.

The Nashville Police Chief said the shooter decided against attacking a different school because it had “too much security.” I envision a world where every Oregon school possesses an abundance of security measures that act as a deterrent. That is why I sponsored HB 3350. The bill would examine ways to protect our children by hardening schools and providing them with security like I have at the Capitol. The presence of even a single school resource officer might have significantly altered the outcome and perhaps even averted the tragedy entirely.

The Majority party blocked all but one. It is deeply frustrating that politics is getting in the way of protecting our schools.

This bill would expand the use of taxpayer dollars spent on “gender-affirming care” for minors. It would expand abortion, including repealing all parental notification requirements for minors seeking abortions.

The bill even repeals the crime of concealing the birth of an infant. According to ORS 167.820, someone commits this crime by concealing the corpse of a newborn child with the intent to conceal its birth or to prevent a determination of whether it was born dead or alive.

Many European countries are going in the exact opposite direction as this bill wants to go when it comes to “gender-affirming care” because they do not see sufficient data or evidence to support these procedures. For example, the Norwegian Health Investigation Board recently determined that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery are experimental and not evidence-based.

These procedures are life and body-altering. We must proceed with extreme caution.

HB 2005 – Omnibus Gun

Bill

This bill would do three things if passed:

1. Criminalize the possession of unserialized or homemade firearms

2. Ban 18, 19, and 20-yearolds from buying or possessing a firearm, including hunting rifles

3. Allow local governments to establish more gun-free zones

We don’t have any reason to believe this bill would have stopped the shooting in Nashville. At a time when there are bills in the Legislature to lower the voting age to 16, ban flavored tobacco to stop minors from smok-

for their continued efforts in keeping this vibrant resource going for Rockaway Beach.

Now for a much-needed bit of road repair: Samuel Aldridge, superintendent of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, informed Rockaway business owners that work will be proceeding on the South 1st Avenue railroad crossing, beginning the week of April 17th.

“This work is the result of a partnership between Oregon Coast Scenic railroad and the City of Rockaway Beach that will see over 200ft of track replaced, and the railroad crossing at S. 1st avenue replaced with upgraded rail, a concrete panel surface, and new asphalt approaches,” writes Aldridge. “The result will be improved safety, a more attractive aesthetic for the area, and a smoother ride for vehicles over the crossing.”

Since the Wayside is the “living room” of Rockaway Beach, this is great news. Whether you’re showing up for the Fourth of July fireworks, waiting for Santa to arrive for the Christmas Tree lighting, or just picking up some of Ronnie Duckworth’s barbecue at Joe’s Snacks & Beer, cleaning up the crossing is going to make life a little easier.

The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) & Val Braun of Edward Jones are delighted to present the hilarious production of the comedy “Four Old Broads,” written by Leslie Kimbell, directed by Chris Chiola, and produced by Robert Buckingham. Val Braun, Diane Ericson, Joni Sauer-Folger, Sabrina Garry, Phyllis Ham, Diane Hurst, Berta Limbaugh, and Kelli McMellon have roles in the production.

area that will be closed during construction. The section of off-street parking from S. 1st north through the entrance on southbound 101, roughly across from The Sea Breeze, will be closed for a few days longer while the project wraps up. And I’m sure Rockaway merchants are grateful to the OCSR and the City for waiting till after our busy spring break to set up the closure and construction.

A little farther out comes notification that the Chamber of Commerce is putting in motion the plans for a Farmers’ Market at the Wayside. Running Thursdays from May 11th through September, this is hoped to bring regular vendors, especially local farmers and other food providers. I’d love to see Food Roots NW set up a booth there with produce from some of their members. If nothing else, I’ll have to drop them a line to have the Rockaway Farmer’s Market added to their calendar.

April 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 2023 at 7 p.m. and April 16, 23, & 30 2023 at 2 p.m. Doors open one half-hour prior to curtain.

Happy birthday this week to: Stetson Adkins, Jason Baumgartner, Deb Dillon, Wesson Dooher, Lorraine Eckhardt, Jenni Green, Bill Hagerty, Ken Hale, Evan Hancock, Donna Jones, Julie Kellow, Dan Krueger, Lucas McKillip, Susan Norris, Leith Seymour, Randy Sigman, Tucker Slavens, Tiarra Thompson, Jeanne Wheeler, Fallon Whiteman and Walker Wohl.

The Rockaway Renaissance Artists have been selected as the art subcommittee for the Chamber and will be providing volunteers to help set up and take down the Chamber’s booth. In addition, they will have their own booth, displaying art works produced by members. The Chamber has also invited Rockaway Renaissance Artists to provide photos of art works and installations to use in the flyers for the Farmers’ Market.

One other exciting piece of news: the Chamber is currently contacting other Rockaway businesses for the possibility of having a Renaissance Artist create a mural for them, as a way of bringing more art to the city. Renaissance member Jill Collar recently completed a charming sea-life mural for Grumpy’s, complete with sea turtles, clown fish, and an adorable purple octopus. (Here’s a Fencepost Flashback: who else recalls the purple octopus Greek restaurant in downtown Portland?)

Several Renaissance Artist members have experience doing murals for various businesses and organizations. If this appeals to you, contact the Chamber (in the red caboose) or Rockaway Renaissance Artists, who meet Wednesday afternoons at the Nea Kah Nie district office, 504 N. 3rd Avenue.

THS baseball wins, softball struggles

Mike Weber For the Herald

The No. 16 ranked Tillamook High Cheesemakers had a great start to their Class 4A baseball 12-game Cowapa League schedule as they won 6-1 over the Astoria High Fishermen (0-1 league, 4-7 overall) April 4 at Astoria High School.

In a close contest that was knotted 1-1 after four innings, the Cheesemakers (1-0 league, 3-5 overall) took control of the game with a fifth inning rally. Tillamook scored five runs in the top of the fifth for a 6-1 lead and then held Astoria scoreless for the remainder of the contest.

Tillamook senior pitcher Cade Ross had a strong performance on the mound as he scattered six hits and he struck out six and walked two. Senior Trevor Leonnig led the Mooks six-hit offense

Tillamook, which is in second place in the Cowapa League, has a grueling schedule this week with three games in four days, beginning with Tuesday’s 5 p.m. home game versus the Seaside High Seagulls (0-1 league, 4-6 overall). The Cheesemakers play their next game Thursday at 4:30 p.m. on the road against the St. Helens High Lions (0-1 league, 2-9 overall), followed by a 5 p.m. home game Friday against the No. 1 ranked Scappoose High Indians (2-0, 8-2).

The Mooks got off to a good start in the game in building a 6-0 first inning advantage. Astoria responded with a seven run, second inning rally to take a 7-6 lead. Astoria then scored in the next three frames to build a 12-6 lead after five innings. Astoria held Tillamook scoreless from the second through the sixth inning. Both teams scored three runs in the seventh for the final margin. The loss marked the seventh straight for Tillamook.

The Mooks were seeking to snap the losing streak in Tuesday’s Cowapa League road game versus the Seaside High Seagulls (7-4). Tillamook plays it’s next contest on the road Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against the Scappoose High Indians (0-1 league, 9-2 overall).

Constructing buildings in hazard zones carries inherent risks, but some coastal communities like Rockaway Beach and Seaside are entirely within tsunami hazard zones. These communities require workforce housing, but existing regulations prevent it. In response, I have introduced HB 3442, a bill to promote housing in these communities. If passed, this bill would provide coastal cities with increased opportunities to construct housing without incurring the exorbitant costs associated with land production or rezoning.

The bill passed out of the Housing and Homelessness Committee with only one no vote. I expect the bill will be voted on by the entire House of Representatives sometime next week.

As always, I welcome your feedback in input. It helps me better represent our community. Email me at Rep. CyrusJavadi@oregonlegislature.gov or call my office at 503-986-1432.

July 6, 1942 ~ February 2, 2023

Beloved Husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and a friend to all.

Born to Clarence (Pink) and Viola (Mic) Goddard in June 1940 in Pocatello, Idaho. A town he very much loved. He graduated high school and joined The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps ROTC at ISU in 1959 and completed his Licensed Practical Nursing training at Saint Anthony Hospital. He was a devout catholic and as a young man spent time at monastery with the monks of The Abbey of our Lady of The Holy Trinity. Here he enjoyed the “peace and quiet up there with God and even contemplated priesthood with his Brothers and Monks.”

It seems God had other plans for him upon meeting his future bride and love of his life at a town dance he happened to be the Disc jockey for. They would marry in the summer of 1966 and were blessed with seven children to raise.

Together they went on to buy two radio stations, running ads and playing their favorite country songs and top 40 hits! Throughout their lives together in Idaho and later in Montana they

He went by many monikers that would stick with him throughout his life. His name was James but some called him Timothy, Big Tim, Ranger, or Terrible Tim. But for those that sought love and friendship they mostly just called him dad. He loved to joke around and it’s here in this display of humor and wit you would find a great companion. He had a magnetic personality and a gift for gab.

A kind man with an insatiable taste for knowledge.

He was truly brilliant and thought to have a photographic memory. He could easily recount most days, people, and places throughout his life. He loved sharing stories, laughing, dancing, going for long car rides, good food, but most importantly he really found joy being with his family.

To list all of his ventures would be an impossible task and instead we wish to speak of his generous nature and his incredible heart.

He found himself a local to the Oregon Coast for the second half of his life. He started a small car business. Coming into the car lot was like coming into Cheers… here everyone knew your name and if they didn’t they would soon find it out along with your credit score, proof of income, and a co-signer as needed! Not

But in all seriousness the car lot was a hub for all. And it really mirrored Big Tim as a person. A place where no matter your religion, political affiliation, or truck preferences you could find a friend in him. He rarely missed a day of work and somehow found a way to make everyone feel like someone. This was his greatest gift… friendship. Because above all else, Dad was a friend to all. His absence is immeasurable and, in his memory, we will find the greatest of men.

Big Tim is survived by his children; Timothy Goddard, Alexis Goddard (Randall), Scott Goddard (Alice), April Buckmeier (Scott), Boone Goddard (Summer), Tylee Laurance (Nic), Faith Hinkson (Zach) his 13 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and one due in June. He is also survived by his seven nieces and their families whom he loved dearly.

He loved The Lord and gave thanks regularly despite any hardships. It would be a failure not to mention his love and dedication for his wife Leslie. After she received an early onset dementia diagnosis, he cared for her in their home for many years and never gave up on getting her well. He has now joined her in heaven and his family finds comfort knowing they are together again. His life was colorful as he himself shined bright. Impossible to be forgotten and missed beyond belief.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 8th at 1 p.m. at Pacific Restaurant 205 Main Ave, Tillamook Oregon. In lieu of flowers, contributions “in memory of James Goddard“ may be made to Saint Mary’s by The sea in Rockaway Beach Oregon.

Peggy Renz, of Nehalem, passed away in her sleep on February 2, 2023, after battling a deteriorating medical condition she suffered within the past year. Peggy was a fighter and had strong determination to overcome her various health issues. She never let what life dealt her get her down. Her strong conviction, larger than life personality, and friendly smile will be missed by many.

Peggy was born on July 6, 1942, to Elmer and Billie (Bigham) Renz and grew up in Milwaukie, Oregon. She graduated from Milwaukie High School where she enjoyed being in theater and taking care of her three younger brothers. She later moved to Northwest Portland and was continually active in the community. She worked in social work and had a strong passion for helping others, which included tenure at Friendly House and Neighborhood House. She considered her colleagues part of her family. She married John Wendeborn and raised two children while living in Portland before divorcing. In 2000, she married her soul mate, Glen Downs. They moved to Nehalem in 1998 where she quickly engaged in the communities of Nehalem, Garibaldi and Wheeler in various social and volunteer activities.

Peggy was an avid gardener and transformed her property to an oasis of plants, flowers

and garden art, which many of her friends would come to see. She loved hosting family and friends in her gardens, and touring gardens around the Northwest. Her passions included canning, cooking and especially baking for which she was known to share with her neighbors and friends. She had a sharp sense of humor and had an affinity for “Tiara Tuesdays”.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents; 2 broth-

ers and her husband, Glen Downs. Peggy is survived by her sons, Rourke Wendeborn (Linda), Duggan Wendeborn, and stepchildren, Guy Downs (Shonnie), Shelly Brenner (Dave), brother Bill Renz, and 7 grandchildren.

Behavioral Health Housing in Tillamook County: Repurposing Kilchis House

Executive Director of Tillamook Family Counseling Center

Earlier this year, the Oregon State Legislature (House Bill 5202), allocated $100 million dollars to county behavioral health agencies (through the Oregon Health Authority) to support emerging initiatives to expand/

County

build behavioral health housing. An allocation formula was developed by the Association of Community Mental Health Programs to even out the awards gaps between large/small/rural and frontier counties in Oregon. The formula considered population, but also county economics, poverty level, and other criteria. For Tillamook County,

House Bill 5202 funds came to $1.75 million for TFCC to invest in the community. With the help of a planning process that included community and agency client input, and with the support of the Board of Directors of TFCC, the agency has positioned itself to expand the availability of supportive housing, targeting

individuals with serious and persistent behavioral health challenges. in Tillamook County. On August 26, 2022, TFCC’s offer to the Board of Directors of CARE to purchase the Kichis House site in Tillamook was accepted. On February 17, 2023, Tillamook Family Counseling Center became the owner. Getting to this point has truly

Commonly known as: 35595 CLIPPER CT, NEHALEM, OR 97131-9642 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $8,405.79 TOTAL REQUIRED

We do run in to our ‘safe’ place but are learning to enjoy the luxury of life with loves, pets, brushing and freedom to be cats. We are looking forward to that special someone taking us home.
