Nehalem Bay Health District seeks $10.5 million bond

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Nehalem Bay Health District is asking for voter support for a $10.25 million bond for a new healthcare facility in Wheeler and upgrades to other district facilities in the May 13 election.

The proposed projects would have a total cost of $15.5 million and allow the district to expand its services for north county residents and bring the district’s senior care facility up to date.

“We’ve got to make the case that it’s going to be a good investment for the community long term and meet some community needs,” said Board of Directors Chair Marc Johnson.

A $12.2 million health center and pharmacy facility in Wheeler would be the biggest part of the proposed project to be funded by the bond. The district purchased a 1.3-acre property adjacent to Highway 101 in Wheeler in 2021 as a potential site for the facility.

The new facility would be double the size of the district’s current health center in Manzanita, which was built when the district was established in the early 1980s. The expanded footprint would reduce wait times for current doctors and allow the district to offer specialty services like pediatric and geriatric medicine and dentistry.

Bond funds would also allow the district to update its senior care facility, which was built at the same time as the health center and offers the only 24-hour skilled nursing staff and rehabilitative services in Tillamook County. The proposed project budget would dedicate $2.3 million to a top-to-bottom renovation of the facility, bringing it up to current care standards for both patients and staff.

Johnson said that both facilities would be critical as Tillamook County’s population continues to age and require more medical care.

“Trying to think ahead and stay out in front of that need for growing services for seniors is a big part of why this proposal has come together,” Johnson said.

The final element of the new project would be the demolition of the Old Wheeler Hospital, which was built in the 1950s. The demolition would cost $1 million and would pave the way to develop workforce housing on the site in the future, with help from an outside developer.

Johnson said that providing housing for employees was critical if the district expands services. He also noted that the board is committed to continuing to provide a home for the North County Food Bank, which is currently operating out of the hospital.

The proposed bond has a 26-year term and would lead to an additional $3.70 in annual property taxes per $10,000 of assessed value. The total amount of the bond could vary depending on interest rates and how much additional funding the project is able to secure.

The project has already received

County leaders grant $66K to Bay City housing development

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook County Commissioners awarded a $66,000 grant for predevelopment work at a site in Bay City on which a developer plans to build market rate housing at their March 29 meeting.

They also proclaimed April “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” in Tillamook and received an annual report on the Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization.

The Columbia Pacific CCO was founded ten years ago by state mandate to administer the Oregon Health Plan in the northwest of the state and promote community health in the region.

Member Doug Henson is leading a new endeavor to create a Veteran’s Memorial in the City of Tillamook. The planned location of the memorial will be the open plot of grass on the north end of Downtown Tillamook (Between Main and Pacific on 1st Street). The memorial will be in honor of the brave men and women who gave their lives in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (all veterans who served in all wars). They were our mothers and fathers, our husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters, our sons and our daughters. They

The organization’s executive director, Mimi Haley, told commissioners that after a three-year pause during the pandemic, the Oregon Health Authority is reviewing eligibility of those on the Oregon Health Plan.

She said that the process will take most of the year, having begun with those most likely to be reapproved and moving on to those with lower likelihoods. Haley also said that the CCO is working to help people who lose their coverage find new insurance.

Columbia Pacific CCO will also conduct a community needs assessment starting in May, sending interviewers around the region to gather 1,200-1,300 responses about residents’ insurance and healthcare. The interviewers will be asking community members for stories before extracting patterns and themes from them to enter into a data set.

Haley then discussed the work that her group is doing outside of insurance administration to bolster community health.

Columbia Pacific CCO has already awarded over $3.5 million in housing grants to help address the housing and homelessness crisis. The Willet Apartments in Tillamook received a $500,000 grant, the Bayside Gardens Development received $300,000 and, most recently, Helping Hands was given $360,000 to develop transitional housing above their Tillamook location.

RAIN Catalysts seek to promote maritime industry

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Regional Accelerator and Innovation Network Catalysts are expanding their offerings on the north coast and have recently hired a new ambassador for the region.

RAIN Catalysts, as the group is known, will be working through its Startup Blue program to support innovators and entrepreneurs in the maritime industry in Tillamook County.

“What we want to do first of all is start some interest and figure out what the issues are,” Chris Jacobsen, RAIN’s new north coast ambassador, said.

which will be expanding to offer direct housing support to residents, help with climate related health risk factors and food support.

These programs will begin in 2024, with housing supports like rental or utility assistance becoming available in January, climate supports like vouchers for air conditioners or generators available in July and food support, like fruit and vegetable prescriptions and nutrition and cooking education starting in January 2025.

Four staffers from Tides of Change in Tillamook came to the meeting in support of the “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” proclamation, with Beth Hope addressing commissioners. Tides of Change supports survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in Tillamook County. As part of their mission, they promote public awareness of the prevalence of such violence, particularly in April and October, which is “Domestic Abuse Awareness Month” in the county.

This year marks Tides of Change’s 40th anniversary in Tillamook, and the month’s biggest event is a True Survivor Storytelling event at the Fairgrounds on April 22. There is also an art exhibition at the Bay City Arts Center that will open on April 7, and April 26 is Denim Day.

The workforce housing grant in Bay City was awarded to local developer Tyler Brogden to help pay for predevelopment costs at the site. Brogden was at the meeting and said that he needed to undertake geotechnical and soil studies and do preparatory work at the site before breaking ground on the project.

Brogden plans to build 29 two-bedroom units spread across duplexes and fourplexes, with those units being affordable to residents making either 80% or 120% of the area’s median income, depending on the unit.

Commissioner Erin Skaar noted that Bay City’s government had already made the project possible by building a new sewer lift station which opened a new section of town, including Brogden’s property, to development.

RAIN started working on the coast in Lincoln County in 2016, partnering with Oregon State University to help maritime professionals develop new products and technologies. They have assisted in the development of a float switch to ensure boats remain floating and a smart surf fin which gauges wave quality and are helping with the development of a device to remove jellyfish from crab lines.

Communities along the coast began to express interest in similar support in the years after RAIN began operations and started to ask for help.

Commissioners also approved a lease agreement for three vehicles for the sheriff’s department with US Bancorp. The two new Ford Explorers and one new Ford Escape will cost $115,725, with $18,773 going to debt service and the county making five annual payments, starting in April 2024.

The United States Small Business Development Administration took note and began looking for partners for a new grant to support maritime businesses on the coast in 2019.

After initially expanding operations in the area near their Hatfield Marine Science Center, OSU is now working to expand the program’s geographic footprint.

OCCT continues restoration work at Fairview Grange Hall

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Oregon Coast Children’s Theater hosted a flea market at Fairview Grange last weekend to raise funds to continue its rehabilitative work on the building.

The educational theater group began a partnership with the grange in 2021, helping to advance ongoing restoration to the facility and giving the theater a new home.

“This place was pretty vacant,” Larry Adrian, director of the Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre (OCCT), said of the grange, “there was not really anything going on in here.”

Fairview Grange opened more than a century ago and by the late 2010s had fallen into a state of dilapidation, causing the board to return the building to ownership of the state grange for demolition.

In 2019, a new board formed, taking ownership back from the state organization and beginning repair work.

At that time, the theater was headquartered in Auburn, at the Olalla Center, but a staff member was on the new board at the grange and by 2021 they had decided to move.

The Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre and Center for the Arts was founded in 1990 in Tillamook to offer performance and fine art exposure and instruction to children in the community. The group was initially headquartered in Manzanita at the North Coast Recreation District and has also called the Blue Heron in Tillamook and several locations in Lincoln County home.

OCCT puts on plays with kids from six to 18 years of age and offers fine art instructions for them, as well as those in pre-k. The theater relies on financial support from a variety of foundations, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Oregon Arts Commission and the Ford Family Foundation, for its $150,0000 to $200,000

annual budget. The theater has a dozen staff, although all have other jobs as well.

After struggling to find large enough audiences locally, the group began to take its offerings on the road in 1995, visiting schools, libraries and other venues across the state for performances and artist-in-residency programs.

Another hallmark of the group has become its public murals, especially in mosaic, after the principal of the thenWilson River School asked Adrian if he would make one for the school.

“We had such a success with that that we just put it in our repertoire as something we did,” Adrian said. “We’re up to about 140 public works of art that we’ve done in seven western states, including three national parks.”

By the time the theater partnered with Fairview Grange in 2021, the new board had replaced the heating system, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Since then, the theater has helped to replace the foundation of the entryway and ticket booth, repaint a section of the roof, install a new security system and build a wall along the road. The most recent addition is a handicamp ramp, paid for by a $14,000 donation from the Rotary Club.

The theater also worked with community members to paint a mural on the side of the grange. The media coverage of that mural attracted unsolicited support from the Roundhouse Foundation, which focuses on preserving historic structures in rural communities, in the form of two grants of $25,000, one awarded in 2022 and one to

come this May.

“They were just starting a push to support rural organizations on the Oregon coast because they heard how hard we had been hit,” Adrian said, referring to both the covid pandemic and forest fires in Tillamook and Lincoln Counties.

The pandemic forced the theater to cancel 38 scheduled performances in 2020, a pause which will only be ended in May when the theater puts on a production of Dragon Tales. Dragon Tales is an OCCT original production, first staged in Nehalem in 1996, based on stories from around the world.

All donations given at the box office during the performances on May 19 and 20, as well as the proceeds from last weekend’s flea market and two more that Adrian is planning will go towards continued work on the grange.

Adrian said that the next major focus is upgrading the building’s original wiring, which is ill suited for the needs of modern theater productions. He also mentioned rehabilitating the floor in the auditorium, adding blackout curtains to the windows and getting a new curtain for the stage as future needs.

Adrian encouraged any community members who were interested in supporting the grange to reach out to him about making a taxdeductible contribution either to the grange itself or through OCCT. Both groups are nonprofits and Adrian’s contact information can be found on OCCT’s website.

Tillamook County Solid Waste

April is here – the month of Earth Day – and opportunities abound!

We are hosting a Master Recycler Class, all condensed into three days in April. Participants will learn A LOT about what goes on behind the scenes in recycling and waste management, how the system works, and what YOU can do to make things better. The first day of the class is April 8th, and starts at 9:00 am in Heart of Cartm’s workshop space (395 Wheeler Blvd, Wheeler). The two further dates for the class will be April 14th and 21st. The class is free –in exchange for 30 hours of community service this year. (And we have

plenty of opportunities during the year!) Join the ranks of over 50 others who have graduated from the Master Recycler course in Tillamook County – starting this Saturday!

The ODF Yard Debris Voucher program is back – with extended dates. Our local branch of the Department of Forestry procured additional funding for this popular program, now starting April 1st and lasting through October 31st (in recognition of the extended fire seasons we have been experiencing).

On April 22nd we will be having a Drugs & Sharps Takeback event at the Health Clinic (801 Pacific Ave) 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. This event is

part of the national DEA effort to make sure unused prescription and over-the-counter drugs are disposed of properly. We augment those efforts with the opportunity for residents to drop off used sharps (syringes) in hard red plastic sharps containers at no cost.

We’ll close out the month cosponsoring the Home & Garden Show, at the Fairgrounds, April 29th 9 am – 4 pm and April 30th 11 am –3 pm.

We’ll see you multiple times during April – rain or shine!

Dredging has been completed and the Memaloose boat ramp is open. Time to gear up for spring Chinook fishing. Buy your annual fishing license and salmon tag as well as your parking tag, testrun your boat motor, check your fishing line for nicks, dig out your favorite spinner— and get ready! Good times are ready to roll again.

We recently had a marvelous walk through the forest with our next-door neighbor Narayan Lincoln. She led us through part of the 120-acres that the Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA) is looking to purchase from a private owner as part of a water conservancy/environmental protection effort. We saw legacy stumps from the old growth forest, as well as hemlocks, spruce, and some cedar. Narayan pointed out Oregon grape, skunk cabbage and a trillium, and there were many sword ferns, huckleberry bushes and fungi. An elk herd preceded us on much of the walk, their two-toned brown bodies flashing through the trees. Thank you for the personal tour, Narayan.

The Watershed Con-

servancy Project is a huge undertaking for our community. Various individuals are contributing in different ways.

Simone Goldfeder, Miriam Fultz and Bev Stein are leading the acquisition effort. Bev also gives regular updates to the community in her position as president of CMCA. Narayan has escorted individuals from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, DEQ, the Cape Meares Wildlife Refuge, and the Oregon Coast Trail project through the property in question. Other volunteers are recording their observations on an iNaturalist app and, at last count, the eight participants have marked 159 observations and identified 88 species. As of March 21, CMCA has received contributions from 35 people/

families designated for this project, totaling about $97,000 for pre-purchase costs such as appraisals, assessments and legal fees. For more on the Watershed Conservancy Project, go online to capemeares. org. Many thanks to everyone who is contributing to this complex endeavor.

Woo-hoo, about time: A new fiber cable is going to be installed from Tillamook to Hillsboro. Two companies, Astound Broadband and Amazon Web Services, are joining forces on this project. The 100-mile fiber will be laid underground, improving connectivity in the Tillamook area and along Highway 6. This may even lead to cell towers being installed along that route at some future point, although that is not part of the current undertaking. The entire project is expected to be a boon to the Tillamook labor force as well as to users of the service. Finally, good news about Highway 6!

The month of April got off to a great start—a day early, in fact, when Becki and Ronni Duckworth ran a two-day popup barbecue at Joe’s Snacks and Beer at the Wayside.

We got to know the Duckworths as Becki took a dedicated caregiver role for Cindy Kay Gregory’s last weeks in February. My South Carolina-born wife lived up to the best traditions of Southern hospitality by bringing meals and treats to the roundthe-clock care team at the Gregory household. It seemed Becki was always there.

So it was a very pleasant change to see her in Joe’s on the 31st. Having taken the advice on ordering ahead, I arrived about 45 minutes after

opening to find myself tenth in line to check out. By the time I moved up a few spaces, at least a half-dozen more people had lined up behind me.

I picked up a full rack of baby back ribs (at $35, the priciest item) and chatted with friends and neighbors while we all breathed in the heavenly smoke. Ronni’s Chicagostyle barbecue was prepared in the courtyard behind Joe’s on three Traeger smokers, one each for the ribs, beef brisket ($22/pound), and pulled pork ($18/pound).

I regret that we didn’t get at least a little of the pulled pork, as Becki weighed out trays for the counter staff to pack. And I regret that we didn’t take home a container of Ronnie’s

SCOTT FISHER ROCKAWAY BEACH sfisher71@yahoo.com

barbecue sauce; yes, we had a few bottles of favorite spicyvinegary goodness at home, but we shouldn’t have missed the chance to taste the sauce that the smoke-master himself thought fit to grace his work. The ribs themselves were scrupulously tender, moist and flavorful. A good but not overpowering smoky aroma wafted up, as did the tang of a

healthy dose of black pepper. “We ate those ribs like they were ears of corn!” my wife later told Becki. The best news is that, for at least the next few weekends, Becki and Ronnie are planning to return to satisfy our barbecue needs. And yes, next time we’ll get pulled pork and sauce, plus good fresh buns. Wondering if The Beach Bakeshop has anything suitable?

In other news, we have a few more big events coming up. Closest to the present is the Emergency Preparedness Fair, April 15 in the NeahKah-Nie High Schoo gym, from 11 AM - 2 PM. This is an important event, where we can learn how to be ready for any emergency — such as the

power outages we had last December. There will be booths and demonstrations, from CPR and first aid to details on how to fill a go-bag and more.

Emergency Preparedness head Letty Buchanan will be on hand, and reminds us that she is certified as a CPR and first-aid instructor for anyone who wants to renew their skill set or acquire a new one.

Here’s a tip from Robin Bock, a member of the emergency preparedness team as well as the Rockaway Renaissance Artists: those 5-gallon food-service drums with airtight lids make great dry storage for fire starters, batteries, first-aid equipment, your 90-day supply of prescription medications, and so many other things. For more information, contact RBEmergencyPrep@outlook.com.

Next up is the Rockaway Writers Renaissance, a weekend workshop on the craft and business of writing held at the Rockaway Roastery, 165 S.

Miller Street. At 6 PM Friday, April 28, the event begins with a songwriting workshop, open mic, and book sales. The workshop continues at 8 AM Saturday, April 29 with 45-minute workshops on travel writing, copyright, culinary writing, journalism, marketing, and poetry. I’m presenting the travel writing workshop at 9 AM, and look forward to helping new writers break into what so many see as a dream job. Sunday, April 30 opens with a meet-and-greet with authors and presenters, and concludes with a raffle drawing for some fairly impressive gift baskets donated by members of the community.

I am voting for Kris Lachenmeier to continue serving on the TSD9 school board. I have known Kris for many years. She is truly passionate about serving her community. Most importantly she does this with unwavering integrity. Thoughtful and effective, Kris takes time to learn about the issues in front of her. She reaches out to people to hear their perspectives, including those different from her own. She embodies the best qualities of a civic leader. Kris and I do not always share the same position on issues but she always approaches differences with respect and an open mind. I have learned a lot from her.

Kris and I both serve on the Tillamook County Housing Commission as large employer representatives. In her role, she is advocating on behalf of the school district for more workforce housing so we can attract and retain teachers and staff at the district. Kris serves in leadership roles and as an active member of the Housing Commission, contributing to its progress in accomplishing a number of its goals since 2019.

If you want an effective, caring leader who works well with others to get things done,

vote for Kris Lachenmeier. Michelle

Vote Marc Johnson for Nehalem Bay Health District Board

Occasionally our community is lucky enough to have a great leader in a critical position ready and able to make innovative and positive change. We have that leader in Marc Johnson. He stepped into the Board of the Nehalem Bay Health District when it was struggling to find its direction. Marc, as Board Chair along with an excellent Board, led the first strategic planning process following extensive community outreach. That strategy is focused on providing North County with an accessible critically needed healthcare option.

The strategic plan also created a process that begins to address critical housing needs for health care and other essential workers, purchased property on Hwy 101, and expanding the facility, making it easily accessible by the community Marc has developed a comprehensive funding strategy, including a bond measure on the May ballot (Vote YES!), for the new health center, as well as the renovation and modernization of the Nehalem Valley Care Center in Wheeler, our region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.

He was instrumental in getting 3 million in federal funding with Senator Merkley and Wyden’s support. Marc is a collaborative leader and gets things done! We need Marc Johnson on the Nehalem Bay Health District Board.

Vote for positive, innovative leadership. Vote Marc Johnson.

June 1940 ~ March 2023

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 would go on to own and operate a small newspaper, invest in real estate, and even build a hotel off the highway in Missoula.

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.

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 a 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 would go on to own and operate a small newspaper, invest in real estate, and even build a hotel off the highway in Missoula.

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 a chance you were leaving without… yep, you guessed it, a very “new to you” car!

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.

Nehalem Post Office has a new look and purpose

Native plants are beautiful and needed by pollinators to thrive. Nehalem Bay Garden Club (NBGC) is dedicated to supporting garden learning and enhancing the connection between plants and our ecosystem.

NBGC “adopted” beautification and re-landscaping the front of the Post Office in Nehalem as a service club project. Over the past several months, NBGC has been working tirelessly starting with removal of old overgrown shrubs and some very “healthy” blackberries and weeds. Thanks to a generous donation by Jiffy Construction, the heavy lifting was done by mechanical removal and garden club members did the finer work with shovels and sweat equity. Once the beds were cleaned up, the

real gardening fun was ready to begin.

March 25th, under a cloak of snow clouds and a cold frosty morning, several intrepid gardeners bundled up and began the rebuilding process. The design focused on Native Plants that attract pollinators. Snowberries, Huckleberries, Oregon Grape, Coast Daisies, Lupine, Sea Thrift, Manzanita, Yarrow and Sword Ferns were added to the existing plantings of Rhododendrons, Azalea, and Roses. Many of the plants were purchased from Hope Stanton’s Aldervale Native Plants a local nursery specializing in native plants: https:// aldervale.net/

Project Manager and Club Secretary, Kelley Roy was thrilled with the outcome

“The Club members really pulled together to get this

project done. It will be fun to watch as the plants grow and flower through the seasons and attract the precious pollinators of our area.”

Nehalem Bay Garden Club funds projects and nonprofit related groups from the profits made at the annual Plant Sale. Each year, the club holds a sale on Mothers Day weekend. Mark your calendar for this year’s sale Saturday and Sunday, May 13th and 14th.

Nehalem Bay Garden Club has been in operation as a public service group for 76 years The club meets the 4th Tuesday of the month. All community members are welcome to join. Contact Constance Shimek Club President for more information at 503-368-4678, constance@nehalemtel.net

Bud Johansen For the Herald

This winter of 2022-23 has been long and wet, and with some local flooding here and there. But the great flood of 1996 was especially prolonged and damaging.

The following story, told in a three-part series by Tillamook’s Bud Johanson, tells of an important local rescue made during that flood. This is part three of three parts.

Remembering the ‘96 Flood Part III

We struggled to push and pull, almost with brute strength, each evacuee up the narrow steps. We were careful to avoid hurting the frail bodies. They came in all shapes and sizes. One of us pulling from above and the other, standing in filthy water up to his knees, pushing and lifting from below. The tenants had been wheeled down the hallway, one at a time

by staff members, with their lap robes nearly dragging in the water. When they reached the bus door, Mike and I took over the delicate job of hoisting them aboard. Our helper from the care center staff got them seated comfortably, wrapped up in their blankets.

As we manhandled one old lady, trying to get her up the steps, she said, “You’re pulling my leg off.” Sure enough, we were! She had an artificial leg. Another lady said her grand kids were still in her room. We thought, “Oh sure, she’d have them there during a crisis in a flood.” We checked her room. Guess what? Her grand kids were there. They had stayed all night with her, and must have been overlooked in the rush to evacuate. After about a half hour of struggle, we finally had a bus full. There had been a lot of mental and physical stress in our efforts. I was worried about Mike, as he’d had a history of heart trouble, and we were under a lot of pressure. We were ready to head out into the flooded darkness with our first load of evacuees. It would take another trip to complete the evacuation. I eased the bus out into the flood, as the darkness closed around us, with a full load of precious cargo. Their lives were in my hands. Big responsibility. I held my breath as we crossed the little bridge with the swirling waters plunging underneath it. I did not dare to think about what would

happen if the bridge collapsed. We took our load of wet and exhausted, bewildered old folks to the Swiss Hall. We had lots of help with the unloading and were able to use the chair lift. The Red Cross had set up cots in the Swiss Hall and were bedding down my passengers. It had been a tough trip for them, but we still needed to go back to the care center a second time.

Mike and I immediately started to retrace our flooded route back to the Care Center. It looked like the flooding was starting to level off and did not seem quite so menacing, even though it was still inky black out.

After our first trip, we were now on familiar, but risky, flooded ground. We got the remainder of the residents of the center loaded onto the bus and delivered them to the Swiss Hall. We thought we were done, having braved our way through the treacherous dark waters twice. We were exhausted from the labor and stress of loading and delivering all of those frail and heavily dependent people. We went to Sonny’s Cafe for much needed breakfast, then on home for a hot shower and rest.

I took a soothing hot shower, scrubbing off all the filthy grime of the flood waters. I had just plopped down into my relaxing easy chair, when Mike called again. He said we had to go back to the Care Center to retrieve some mattresses and food supplies, like milk. It was daylight by now and the flood waters did not look quite so menacing. I think the water was starting to drop a little.

We had to wade through flooded halls to retrieve mattresses and supplies. The kitchen was a mess with floating objects and food containers bobbing all around. Next, we had to haul the mattresses and some of the care center tenants from the Swiss Hall to the hospital. This took a couple of trips. They were opening the 3rd floor of the hospital to house the old folks temporarily. It was better than the big open room of the Swiss Hall. We were finally released and could go home, for another hot shower.

Mike and had I worked our buns off and risked our necks in rescuing the Care Center residents. There was quite a write-up in the local paper, but it did not mention Mike and me by name. It read, “The two volunteers had a calming effect on the terrified evacuees.” We laughed about that: “So much for being heroes.”

I feel good about what we accomplished that day. Mike Cooley and I had been good friends all along and enjoyed a good relationship, but I think sharing this perilous experience bonded us even more. We had great trust and faith in each other. Now, 27 years later, Mike has passed away, but I still feel that special bond with his memory.
