Fifth graders continue tradition of clamming in Netarts Bay

By Chelsea Yarnell Guest Contributor

Over 150 fifth graders converged on Netarts Bay to learn about sustainable clamming.

“This is one of the older field trips in our program,” Tillamook School District Natural Resources Coordinator Amy Schmid said. “It’s been well over 10 years.”

Over the course of two days (April 20 and 21), groups of students from East Elementary School learned how to harvest clams and collect data about their finds. Tillamook High School students, Wilson River School students and Friends of Netarts Bay volunteers helped oversee the program. “The high schoolers are big piece

of this since the program has been around so long that they remember doing this field trip,” Schmid said.

Students recorded information about each harvested clam including where it was found, its measurements, species and the sediment in which it was found.

“What we’re doing is looking at the sustainability of clamming in Netarts Bay,” Schmid said. “We have a whole database that’s been collected by our fifth graders.”

In years past, collected data has been sent to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and students themselves write up hypothesis and interpretations based on their findings.

“We’re getting them out and utilizing the resources we have around us,” Schmid said. “It’s place-based

Chevron

investigated after fuel quality complaint

KATHLEEN STINSON and RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

A woman says she pulled into the Garibaldi Chevron & Deli Mart on Monday April 10 and asked for supreme unleaded gasoline. It was supposed to be a routine fill-up. But instead, she got gasoline containing “a significant quantity of undissolved water,” according to the state department of weights and measures.

Karen Spiering, resident of Rockaway Beach, says she purchased about half a tank of what she thought was supreme unleaded gasoline from the Chevron station at 513 Garibaldi Avenue.

But after her tank was filled, she could barely pull out of the lot. Spiering said she first checked to see if the gas cap had not been replaced properly, but that was not the problem.

Spiering said she “got no more than onto freeway 101 when all the lights came on” in her car, a 2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5. The most concerning to her were the check engine and traction control lights. She said she “managed” to drive four miles to her house, where the car died in her driveway.

learning and it sticks with them. Even though we live here on the coast, some kids have never done (clamming) before. We’re giving them experiences that they may never get to have. It’s an experience they’ll never forget.”

Prior to Covid, the field trip featured a clambake. This year, in a partnership with the Schooner Restaurant, the culinary class at Wilson River School and Food Roots, fifth grade students will soon have the opportunity to sample clam chowder; for some, their very first taste of a clam.

“Our community partners are amazing, we could not do this program without them,” Schmid said. “They’re always so willing to jump in and make this happen for our students. We’re really lucky here.”

Commissioners begin hearing on East Beaver Creek Road solid waste disposal cost

Tillamook’s Board of County Commissioners approved several contracts for work at county properties and the purchase of a new asphalt roller at their meeting on April 26.

They also approved six easement agreements that will allow work to begin on a new bridge on Trask River Road and began wading through the process of assigning costs for solid waste violations on East Beaver Creek Road.

May 4 was declared a Day of Prayer for Tillamook County, which will coincide with this year’s National Day of Prayer. The National Day of Prayer tradition dates to 1775 but was formally established by an act of congress in 1952.

Commissioners approved a professional services agreement with DLR Group Architecture & Engineering for a $40,000 redesign and remodel of the district attorney’s

office.

A $26,000 contract with Glasco Glass Company was agreed to for the replacement of windows at the Tillamook County Justice Center.

Several windows have cracked due to the building’s foundation settling, while one was kicked out.

Finally, commissioners approved the $95,000 purchase of a used asphalt drum roller by the county’s public works department. The 2019 roller, produced by Hamm equipment, has recorded 596 hours of work.

The six easements commissioners approved with property owners along Trask River Road paved the way for the construction of a new bridge over Samson Creek. The culvert servicing the stream began failing during the 2015 streams and the bridge replacing it will open a mile and a half of new area to salmon spawning.

After approving those easements, the commissioners began a public hearing to determine the costs they will assess for the removal of solid waste from a property on East Beaver Creek Road. The property is owned by Judith Debrey, but the solid waste violation was incurred

by her son, Scott Hunter, who has also been dealing with the county’s response.

Hunter, who lives on the property with his mother, fell afoul of neighbors and county officials when he began trying to improve a portion of his property with recycled tires. He assembled more than 200 on the small parcel of his property that fronts East Beaver Creek Road but is separated from his and his mother’s dwellings by the creek.

Hunter built a fence using the tires and had plans to use them for other construction projects before county officials stepped in to tell him that his plan was not allowable and that he needed to clean up his property.

Hunter declined to do so for several years and David McCall, Tillamook’s solid waste program director, brought the matter to the board of commissioners last December to ask for a violation to be issued.

The commissioners, noting that Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality required a license for storing more than 100 tires on a property and agreeing with Hunter’s

Spiering said her car was in “pristine” condition and had less than 90,000 miles on it, so she found the sudden breakdown very odd. She first ordered a new gas cap, which did not fix the problem. Then she ordered a new fuel filter and fuel pump. She reported the problem to the gas station and filed a report with Chevron Corporate in San Ramon, California.

“My concern is because this is such an impoverished area, that someone would have spent their last $5 on a tank of gas to fill their generator,” Spiering said. “When the power goes off next, it is going to ruin their generator.” She is also concerned that someone might get stranded in their boat on the bay or by the side of the road.

Spiering also contacted the Oregon Department of Agriculture (DOA) Weights, Measures, and Motor Fuels Division and spoke to Program Manager Steve Harrington.

“Weights and measures conducted an on-site inspection on April 17 and found that store management had already taken both the premium and mid-grade gasolines off-sale citing fuel quality complaints,” Harrington said.

The Oregon DOA tested the premium gasoline fuel dispenser, finding 1.5 inches of water at the bottom of the tank.

“During the onsite investigation, Weights and Measures found 1.5 inches of water at the bottom of the premium gasoline storage tank onsite,” Harrington noted. “A tolerance of no more than 1.4 inches is allowed for all gasoline containing 10% ethanol.”

Harrington said that the fuel was also visually inspected, failing the basic workmanship standard, which requires fuel to be bright and clear of visible undissolved water or sediment.

“A sample of the premium gasoline was pulled from the nozzle of one of the premium dispensers for visual inspection,” Harrington said. “That sample was both turbid and contained a significant quantity of undissolved water.”

Harrington added that the Oregon DOA also tested a fuel sample taken from Spiering’s car, which was at Lum’s Toyota in Warrenton. Harrington said the testing found the sample also contained “excessive undissolved water.”

Harrington stated that the Garibaldi Chevron store management was cooperative through the investigation and that the Oregon DOA will continue to work with them to ensure “the premium gasoline meets Oregon’s standards for quality before going back on sale.”

Spiering noted that she has not had the same level of cooperation from the Chevron store. Garibaldi Chevron did pay close to $1100 for some the service done at Lum’s Toyota, as well as $53 for the watered-down gasoline she originally purchased.

But, Spiering said the station told her they have no intention of covering the host of other expenses she’s accrued from the incident, including bills for a new fuel filter, fuel pump, and gas cap.

“The manager at the Garibaldi Chevron and Deli Mart has no intention of reimbursing me for anything else, and she believes all the necessary parts to repair my car were included in the $1003.40,” Spiering said. “My comment? Maybe in 1953.”

Garibaldi Chevron declined a request for comment from the Herald.

Spiering said she also heard back from Chevron’s corporate office regarding the report she filed, receiving a questionnaire where she explained the incident in detail. After the questionnaire was returned, a representative from Wilcox and Fagel, the company that supplies fuel to the Chevron in Garibaldi, reached out and asked her to settle the claim with the Chevron station directly.

As of today, Spiering has not heard back from either Chevron Corporate or the representative at Wilcox and Fagel about how she can recoup her expenses and settle her claim. Given that the Garibaldi Chevron station is not willing to cooperate with any further reimbursements, Spiering in unsure of how to proceed.

The Tillamook Headlight Herald contacted Chevron’s corporate office and was told that Spiering had filed a report and they would respond to a request for comment. However, no comment had been received by publication.

Rockaway Beach holds community meeting on walking/bike path design

Rockaway Beach community members gathered to give feedback to a team working on preliminary design of a new walking and bike path that will serve the town on April 26.

The new path will connect Washington Street at the south end of the city with Neah-Kah-Nie Middle and High Schools on the north, mostly running adjacent to the train tracks used by the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.

Jon-Paul Bowles from Destination Management Associates led the meeting and started by saying that his team’s goal during the initial design phase is to make sure that the community’s sentiments are mirrored in the design memo they will deliver later this summer. Bowles asked the assembled community members to share what they thought made Rockaway Beach a special community. They mentioned the great schools, civic engagement of the

These choices account for the Creek Rail Trestle on the north side of town and would allow for foot traffic at all downtown businesses.

The design also included six pedestrian crossings at different intersections.

Residents expressed support for this design while offering some concerns that it raised. Those concerns included losing parking for businesses and residences on Miller Street, the cost of maintenance and the possibility of flooding. Bowles said that DMA will be hosting more events to gather feedback through June before working to develop their final design memorandum by the end of the summer.

Pioneer Museum unveils Museum in the Making Exhibit

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is pleased to announce its newest temporary exhibit, “A Museum in the Making”, which opened on April 27, 2023, the 88th anniversary of the museum’s first exhibition for the public.

“A Museum in the Making” will remain on display through November. This exhibit is the first installment in the Museum’s Placemaking Series and highlights the history of the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum.

“Recently, the Museum has been having conversations about its past and how to move forward into the future,” said Peyton Tracy, TCPM’s executive director. “And we thought a good place to start would be acknowledging the passionate folks who built this museum from the ground up.

Understanding the history of the museum helps us better understand where we are now and where we could go.”

“One of our goals is to engage the public in the museum curation and interpretation process more directly, and we hope to do so through this Placemaking Series,” said Jenny Teece, Exhibit and Program Developer at TCPM.

“Placemaking is a collaborative effort to build deep, sustainable connections between people and the place where they are. What better way to begin that co-creation process than by starting in house?”

The exhibit covers the history of Tillamook County’s second courthouse, the building the Museum currently occupies, and the history of the group who started the Museum, The Tillamook County Pioneer Association.

The exhibit focuses on how the Museum grew from just one space into all three stories of the 1905 courthouse, and the plethora of stories they chose to tell in their exhibits and collections.

“We’ve tried our best to provide an overview of the foundational history of the Museum’s creation,” Tracy said. “It’s been challenging to consolidate all these histories into one story flow. However, I think we’ve done just that with the support of our staff, volunteers, and community partners who bring a wealth of knowledge and life into the Museum.”

“This exhibit showcases the dedication Tillamook County citizens feel in preserving their history and highlights what makes the area special. We hope it will be a memorable experience

for locals and visitors alike,” Teece said.

Garibaldi Days planning is in full swing. This year, the planning team consists of the City of Garibaldi’s Deputy City Recorder Kylie Poklikua, Event Planner Ashley Christensen, and the Port of Garibaldi’s General Manager Mike Saindon & Tourism Coordinator Laura Schmidt. There are a few changes, especially in anticipation of the U.S. 101 downtown paving project. The biggest change being the move of vendor booths from the 3rd St. and U.S. 101 area to along Jerry Creasey Drive, located on the shores of Tillamook Bay at the eastern edge of Garibaldi Marina.

To apply to become a vendor, email laura@ portofgaribaldi.org or find the online application link located in several places including City of Garibaldi website, VisitGaribaldi. gov, or any of the various City and Port Facebook pages.

Keep looking back here or to those aforementioned online properties for the latest news on Garibaldi Days.

One of the biggest questions swirling around downtown is: What’s going on with the Hook, Line ‘n Sinker? The Cavitts are what’s going on.

Owners of Garibaldi Portside Bistro and Barview Jetty Store, Dennis & Amanda Cavitt have recently purchased the building where Garibaldi’s Hook, Line ‘n Sinker Sports Bar and Grill once thrived.

Plans for the future of the location are still being determined. The only thing known at this point is that “Hook Line,” was a fixture in the Tillamook Bay area and will be missed. That said, if you know the Cavitts, you know they don’t do anything lightly. Whatever they choose to do next will likely be, “hot, hot, hot.”

While they make plans for the location, the Cavitts will be selling off the remaining collectibles and keepsakes that came with the building in a rummage sale. When those are gone, they will host a few garage sale-styled flea market days, selling antiques, collector’s items, neon signs, restaurant equipment, smallware, dishes and more. The sale hours will vary, but for the most part, your best bet will be to stop by Tuesday-Saturday

between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

That’s not all that’s changing. After a couple years of dedicated effort, Roger Cooper’s Under the Big G food truck court, located on the northwest corner of 10th St. and U.S. 101, will finally have the pleasure of hosting their Grand Opening on May 20th, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be live music from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and raffle prizes throughout the event. In addition, “Tides of Change” in Tillamook will host a fundraiser. Per the announcement, “$1 of every purchase will be donated by each vendor and that total will be matched by the owner, for a $2.00 donation.” For more information, email Roger Cooper at rcoop1950@gmail. com, or stop by Under the Big G and you might find him. “Coop” is not only the proprietor. He’s also a customer.

Lastly, during the Garibaldi Days update, there was mention of a new website

Long story short: If you have gone to the old visitgaribaldi.com and found it redirects you to an overseas gambling site, it’s actually a sign the city defeated the spammer. Between changes in city management a couple years ago, the credentials to the old web address login were lost. The access expired, and the city lost out on a pretty incredible bidding war to a spammer, who then tried to throw up a clone website and sell web services to local businesses. It took the city a week, but they were able to get the clone website removed from Google & Bing, and have all the federal, state and county websites to change their weblinks to the city-approved visitgaribaldi.org. From that point, with virtually all the web traffic removed, the spammer had no other way to make money.

SALE TIME!

One of the harbingers of spring each year has been the annual Tillamook County Master Gardener Association’s Plant Sale. During the Covid 19 lockdown in 2020, the sale went on hiatus, returning in 2021 but as an online sale only. Last year it was a hybrid sale with part online and part in person. For 2023, the sale returns to an in-person only event.

So, mark your calendars for this coming Saturday, May 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Held in the 4H/FFA Horse Arena at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, the master gardeners will be rounding up all sorts of plants

for you to peruse and perhaps buy. A traditional favorite is the wide selection of tomato plants, and this year there will be 700 of them. These will be varieties that are known to do well in our coastal climate so if you love

a ripe tomato fresh from the garden as much as I do, here is your chance to buy those starts.

There will be all sorts of vegetable and herb starts and house plants as well. Grown by local master gardeners, these plants will be acclimated to coastal conditions, too.

More perennials, small trees and shrubs will be on offer at the sale than in previous years. And I can’t forget to mention the Garden Garage Sale that will happen in conjunction with the Plant Sale. Master gardeners and friends clean out their potting sheds, tool sheds, greenhouses and garages for some lightly used tools, pots and so much more.

As usual, there will also be a nice group of merchants that will be selling their wares, including 12 new sellers. The master gardeners are very excited to welcome Lone Wolf Forge with Gary and Jody Lewis. Gary will be setting up his forge outside and creates wonderful garden “accoutre-

Dave Rockey, better known as The Sharpenator, will sharpen tools and scissors while you shop, so pack them and label them carefully and bring them with you. Hope Stanton of Aldervale Native Plants will be bringing some of her natives to sell. Angela Young’s Far Away Mushrooms, Andrea Wolfe’s My Essentials Collection and Nana B’s Succulents from Becky Fisher will all be there to welcome you. Jeanne Komlofske will be bringing L J’s Goodies and Lynn Beck will be bringing her Northwood Crafts. Can’t forget Master Gardener Phyllis Holmes and her Bag Ladies. The vendor area will also feture some local authors, including Deborah Lincoln’s new book and yours truly with my new book “Four Seasons in the Pacific Northwest Coastal Garden.” So, be sure and stop

on suppositions from the future science of NASA and asking the question, “Are we really alone?” You may order “Discovery” from Amazon in Kindle, paperback or hardcover format. The Drafahls are prolific writers; check out a complete library of their books at earthseapublishing.com.

Each spring, we see seal pups on Cape Meares beach. Mothers leave their pup on the ocean shore while they go out to search for food. These are not “abandoned” mammals; please do not go near them. Interaction with humans or dogs can interfere in the process of the mothers reuniting with the pups. Nature knows best.

Beachcombing has been sparse, but I do have a critter report from a recent walk. A herd of elk was in the dune grass, an eagle stood at the edge of the surf, two dead common murres were on the high tide line and a violet dog collar with a blue key fob dangled from a piece of driftwood. There is always something to see at the beach.

by to say hello.

If you have a garden wagon or even a child’s little red wagon, it might be a good idea to stick that in the back of your car. There is a lot of space to cover inside the arena and having a wagon to tote your plants around will make it easier for you. The master gardeners will also offer a holding area for you to store your plants while you shop.

Might I also recommend making a shopping list? Since we don’t really know exactly what plants will be on offer at this point (other than tomatoes!), it would have to be a general list. Something like “2 tomato plants, 1 zucchini start, 5 lettuce starts, 3 shade perennials, 2 sun perennials, 7 native groundcovers.” That kind of a general list will allow you to find desirable plants to slot into your garden.

Cape Meares. In addition to residents (and a number of visitors, too) regularly picking up trash on the beach, recycling is a major focus here. Community members may pick up a blue bag with tag at the Barbara Bennett Community Center and fill it with cans and/or bottles to recycle. Many thanks to Sean Kohles, treasurer for the Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA), who came up with this bright idea and takes the filled bags to Fred Meyer. Any monies received are added to CMCA’s coffers to be put to good use right here in our little village.

The latter is currently used for emails, and when city finances are a little more manageable, the city’s planning commission will work with city council to utilize the garibaldi.gov domain on the city website.

Help Desk as well as help you shop for just the perfect plant, should you need some advice.

Proceeds from this sale benefit Tillamook County Master Gardener Association programs and scholarship fund, so you know your purchases are funding a good cause.

And if you haven’t gotten your fill of plant sales and plants, the Nehalem Bay Garden Club is holding their annual plant sale on May 13 (10 to 3) and 14 (10 to noon) at 43080 North Forth Road, Nehalem (at the intersection of North Fork Road and Hwy 53). They will have Mother’s Day gifts, hanging baskets, planters, plants, and a nice raffle to raise funds. They do prefer checks or cash and their proceeds from the sale benefit local organizations who share the mission of the club.

So, no excuse for not finding just the right plants in May. Now let’s hope the weather stays warm so we can plant them.

will be held at the Tillamook Fairgrounds in the 4-H/FFA Livestock Pavilion. The sale will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature tomatoes, strawberries, other vegetables, and flowers that grow well in our coastal environment. Arla Ayers, a Master Gardener from Cape Meares, told me that there will be some new vendors at the event. Artist Gary Lewis of Lone Wolf Forge will be demonstrating how he creates his custom knives and swords, all made from high quality carbon steel. Another new entrant is Aldervale Native Plants, a small native plant nursery offering plants to complement your vegetables. There will be a help desk staffed with Master Gardeners to answer all your gardening questions. See you there! I have had no reports of spring Chinook caught in Tillamook Bay at the time of this writing. Some of our neighbors have been fishing for them since late April, but no catches reported yet. Capt. Pete and I plan to start salmon fishing this week. Keep tuned for further news, faithful Fencepost readers.

P.S.- For those wondering how much the city spent on the bidding war, the answer is, “nothing.” Since the city lost, the city didn’t have to pay. The spammer wasn’t so lucky. Per GoDaddy auction rules, the spammer’s minimum bid to top the City’s final bid would have had to have been at least $1,510.00. For those who’ve never purchased a .com domain, they cost about $12 per year.

sufficient places of recognition for honoring veterans in all branches of the US Military that have served our County to help preserve our liberty, freedom, and pursuit of happiness Many of these dedicated and loyal veterans who served so diligently have suffered in many ways; some even lost their lives. Councilor Doug Henson, a veteran himself, has a driven desire and vision to help members of our community and those passing through, to see and honor the great sacrifices that have been made by the residents of Tillamook.

Councilor Henson’s vision is to create a visible and memorable plaza for all of Tillamook veterans located in the center of our community. Mr. Henson has partnered with both the City of Tillamook and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to construct this plaza within the City of Tillamook on ODOT property. This location intersects and connects US Highway 101, Oregon State Highway 6, and Oregon State Highway 131. The City Council discussed this proposal from Councilor Henson, and at their February 6, 2023, Regular Council Meeting, they reached a consensus to approve and support this project.

One of Councilor Henson’s deepest desires for this project is to fund it strictly from outside sources, thus saving tax dollars. Accordingly, he has been working hard to raise such funding. Mr. Henson has even put a plan in place for the Veterans Memorial Plaza to receive regular care and maintenance from outside service groups and allow volunteers to take pride in the upkeep of this plaza.

Councilor Henson is creating a beautiful and lasting memorial plaza that will show our community and visitors our greatest respect and love for those who served. The City of Tillamook fully and wholeheartedly supports this effort and asks that your organization do anything and everything you can to assist in securing the necessary funding.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance on this important matter.

Sincerely,

Nathan George, MPA City Manager ngeorge@tillamookor.gov

Uriah, Vinny, and Norene.

Scott

“Scottie” James Blount passed away peacefully on April 17th, surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with latestage cancer. He was born at Tillamook General Hospital on October 12, 1982. He was the youngest of five children. He grew up in a large extended family with multiple grandparents, aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins whom he loved dearly. Scottie was a natural athlete growing up. He loved football and basketball, but basketball was his favorite. His teammates and coaches can attest to his strong passion on the court. In high school he participated in wrestling, cheer squad, and football. He was a smooth mover on the dance floor, and in school and life, he was everyone’s friend.

After graduating from Tillamook High School in 2001 he moved to Salem to attend Chemeketa Community College (CCC). He stayed at CCC for a term or two before working various

He joined Hampton Lumber in 2007 and was laid off in the summer of 2008 when the mill closed an entire shift. He worked at Tillamook Country Smoker, The Fern, and Subway before bartending at the Timeout Tavern for a few years. He had some great times working at the tavern with his sister, Malissa, and other family members. He eventually re-joined Hampton Lumber, in 2013, where he worked in the planer until his cancer diagnosis in November of last year.

In late 2010 Scottie began dating his soulmate, and the love of his life - Talia Dillenburg. Scott, Talia, and Uriah (8-months old) became an instant family. In 2013, they welcomed their second son, Vinny. In 2018, their daughter, Norene was born, completing their family of five. Talia also has a large extended family, giving them and their kids a wonderful community in Tillamook.

Scottie loved being with Talia and his kids. He was the kind of dad who always jumped right in to play with the kids or be silly. He was happy to let Norene paint his toe nails a rainbow of colors. He loved helping coach Uriah and Vinny’s sports teams. He also loved being with all his and Talia’s extended family. He was all about family. There was nothing more important to him than Talia,

In his younger years he enjoyed clamming with his oldest brother, Vince, whom he lived with during his teen years. In his 20’s he enjoyed snowboarding and had some epic trips with friends and his brother Joel. Scottie enjoyed playing co-ed softball with Talia, family, and friends. They made great memories at the local softball fields and at the annual Vernonia Softball Tournament. He loved camping and fishing with his family around Oregon. You could count on him to get a big game of kickball going with all ages playing. He had a great sense of humor, and an infectious laugh.

He was always up for a pick-up basketball game until his knees were too bad, then he took up Disc Golf. He enjoyed the laid-back pace of the game and enjoyed playing with his friends and his kids. He loved the outdoors but was also content to play some video games. He enjoyed watching his favorite teams compete – Florida State Seminoles, Boston Celtics, and San Francisco FortyNiners.

Scottie always greeted everyone with a giant smile, and if you were lucky enough to know him well, a big bear hug. He loved family gatherings where he could show off his BBQ/grilling skills, throw a few back, and beat the competition at horseshoes/ washers/cornhole or whatever game was to be had.

Tillamook School Board candidate responses

The Headlight Herald recently asked candidates in the May 16 election for the Tillamook School District’s Board of Directors three questions:

Please give a brief summary of the experiences that qualify you to serve on the Tillamook School Board and why you are running.

What would be your number one priority if elected or reelected to the school board?

What is one new policy that you would work to implement in the district if elected?

Their responses are grouped by the position for which they are running on the board and presented in the same order as their names appear on the ballot.

Position 1

Matt Petty

For the past two years, I have had the pleasure of serving as a School Board Director for Tillamook School District #9. In addition, I serve on the CARE, Inc Board, and on numerous Pension Management committees. For my day job, I work as a Human Resource Leader, which has provided me with extensive policypeople – and problemsolving skills and abilities.

My wife Kelsey, who teaches special education, and I have two wonderful boys. Clayton (8th grade) and Cody (5th grade). We also have several nieces and nephews spread throughout almost every school in the district. As a parent, husband, uncle and board member you can tell that I have a vested interest in this school district. It has been through my work history, and board service that has given me the experience, knowledge, business, and financial awareness needed to be a productive school board member. I’m passionate about public education, our children’s future, and equality for all of TSD9’s students.

Curriculum and Professional Development (would be my top priority). Over the last two years, the Board

has elevated the quality of the curriculum that has been adopted. As we continue the seven-year cycle, we must continue to make substantial investments in high-quality curriculum. Equally important is that we continue to have professional development time for our educators to not only learn and understand the best methods to deliver this education but also, to have time to invest in Professional Learning Communities to help grow our children’s education.

Perhaps not a policy—but I would like to see the Board bring on Student Representatives. Students’ voices are extremely important to our work, and they’re not often readily available. Also, I would like to see the Board look at how we are represented. Currently, I am the only member with a child in elementary education. After next year, we will not have an early education voice—so we need to find ways to ensure that all spectrums of our students and families have representation. I want the Board to utilize more committees to glean these other perspectives.

Danell Boggs

My name is Dr. Danell Boggs, DBH, LCSW. I was born in Tillamook and spent most of young years attending Tillamook schools. I attended Tillamook school district and graduated from Tillamook High School in 1985. I believe I bring the skills and experience Tillamook School District is looking for, as I value lifelong learning and education. I hold a master’s degree in social work, as well as a Doctorate in behavioral health, both of which have provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective manager, leader, and board member. I have served as the Mayor of Rockaway Beach and on the Tillamook Bay Community College School Board, I was an active member of the Board of the Tillamook ARC, I served as the Treasurer for

the American Association of University Women, and I was in charge of the local Tillamook Special Olympics for many years.

The health and wellbeing (social, physical, mental and educational) of our students, teachers and school environment by…assuring the resources are available to address the specific needs that children and youth have, so they can grow into healthy adults; healthy adults, means healthy communities, fostering a safe and trusting environment for our students, creating and implementing evidence-based/proven effective, crisis assessment and prevention programs that are trauma-informed, assuring that all board members receive education on the effects of trauma on child development; this includes how current policies and practices such as active shooter drills can cause harm.

As a newly elected board member, I would need time to review current policies to see which, if any, need to be updated or replaced. I would need time to review what new policies are needed and would benefit our district, I would utilize the support of other board members and the Oregon School Board Association to accomplish this.

Position 2 Justin Aufdermauer

The Students of Tillamook are the future of our community – our future families, workforce and leaders – and I am passionate about supporting students to be well educated, responsible and socially compassionate. I have a unique set of skills with over a decade of experience in organizational governance, finance and planning that positions me well to continue work with the board and superintendent to drive further positive change in a healthy and responsible way. I look forward to continuing my involvement as both a member of the school board and a father of two students

in the district.

A non-negotiable truth to me is that academics are to always be the “North Star” of the district, everything we do should point to providing students with a quality education. As a member of the TSD9 Board my top priority is to support our students achieve their academic goals. To accomplish this, I believe board members need to focus on district governance. TSD9 has high quality administrators, teachers and staff. As far back as October 2021 (when I first applied for the board) principals and teachers from schools communicated to me that they felt as if they were operating in a silo and that there was little to no collaborative effort to education in our district. As a TSD9 board member I am committed to supporting the work started by our interim-superintendent and working with the board and new superintendent to ensure that our schools and administration are strategically aligned with one another. I believe student outcomes and opportunities will thrive when we focus on district alignment, professional learning communities, and school improvement plans. We must provide an environment where students feel welcome and socially safe to grow and learn. Our society is broken, and our teachers and staff are struggling to keep up with how to support our student’s wellbeing. Anger, depression and bullying are prevalent, with inadequate processes and resources to address them. This may be the most significant, mostly unseen, epidemic hitting our schools right now. I wish you all could see it, this isn’t about politics, values, or beliefs it simply about compassion and caring for children. My heart hurts for where we are at and as a TSD9 board member I will strive to look after our children’s wellbeing to ensure they have the best opportunity to achieve a quality education.

Heidi Rieger

I am a born and raised Tillamook County resident and a graduate from Tillamook High School. With my own experience and having 6 children attend TSD9 with 3 still in attendance, I have seen firsthand the significant changes not only in our district but statewide. I am not a politician or public speaker. I am your average working mother, a Veterans’ Service Officer, who thrives helping others, while being vested and driven and wanting the best for our children. I am running for this position because I believe that a strong education system is crucial for the success and prosperity of our community.

I am a concerned mother who wants the best education for my children and all children in our community. I would like to be a new voice for parents, students and teachers. I want to use my experience, and knowledge to help our schools provide the best possible education for our children.

My top priorities will be promoting academic excellence, protecting parental rights, and promoting fiscal responsibility. I will work to ensure that our schools provide high-quality education that prepares students for success in life, that parents have a say in their children’s education, and that our schools use taxpayer resources effectively and efficiently. I would like to work on our children excelling in Core Curriculum, with reading, writing, arithmetic and history. Students are in

school to learn how to think, not what to think. I believe parents and families need to have more information and input as to what our children are learning. Communication is the key. I understand that the district does have rules and regulations that need to be followed, however we should have an input as to how things are being taught and/or ages when things are taught. I would advocate for more transparency and accountability in the school board’s decision-making processes. This includes regular public meetings, clear communication with parents and constituents, and a commitment to upholding the principles of good governance.

Position 4

Valaree Bentham

I am running for position 4 because I have the determination to contribute to the changes happening in the future within TSD9. My husband and I are raising a young family in the community that we ourselves grew up in. I care about the continued health and success of the district, which produces thriving members of society locally and in other communities. I have a fresh outlook on the ever-changing policies and regulations, and will advocate for the wellbeing of all families, teachers and staff.

(My number one priority if elected would be) establishing real obtainable goals with the superintenant and staff for the betterment of all students.

The board doesn’t run the district, we need to work together on policies to be representatives for our tight knit community.

Kris Lachenmeier

It’s been my honor to be on the Tillamook School Board as a public servant for the last 12 years. During that time, I’ve built trusted relationships, supported superintendents in their work and listened to student and parent voices, and wish to continue that into the future. I have a passion for public education, our staff, and our community.

Some of the focus of my School Board tenure included serving as treasurer for the team that successfully advocated for the 2017 School Bond Measure. The $6.8-million of additional funding accomplished numerous school district improvements including: cafeteria construction at South Prairie Elementary School, aging infrastructure (window improvements, heating systems, etc.), covered play areas at all elementary schools, and important building safety improvements across the District, helping advocate for traffic safety at Tillamook High School, East Elementary and Liberty Elementary and serving in the Board Chair position during Covid-19, navigating through difficult decisions. Tillamook School District lead the way for schools our size to return to the classroom. Going forward, my number one priority is to support the new Superintendent.

I am also currently a Board Member (along with Jesse Werner) who sits on the newly formed District Policy Committee. This group looks at policies from all angles including staff, students and community members. As a Board member I think it’s important to look at a policy from various points of view and to hear from staff about how policies affect their daily lives. We regularly review policies that are affected by legislative actions to assure that we are following the

law. This committee sends their recommendations to the Board, but ultimately it is the responsibility of the Board to approve the policies.

Position 5 Samantha Spratt

As an alumna of TSD9 schools, and a mother of four children attending those very same schools, our success as a district is very important to me. I have a master’s degree in social work, with an emphasis on children, adolescents and their families, as well as a bachelor’s degree in psychology and an associate’s degree in criminal justice. Conducting and interpreting research and data, as well as scouring and developing a working knowledge of laws, regulations, and policies were vital skills in my undergraduate and graduate studies. I began honing these skills in my previous career as a police officer, later as an Advocate Coordinator for Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, a quality assurance coordinator and abuse investigator for our local developmental disabilities program, and now as a mental health provider.

If elected I would prioritize ensuring that policies in place to protect our children and provide them with a healthy environment to learn in were adhered to and modified as necessary. I would focus on bringing together all the voices in our community, so all feel heard, respected and understood. Keeping an open mind and continually learning is something I pride myself in, and I feel it is vital that our board members support and encourage educators and are able to recognize what is in the best interest of our children and advocate appropriately, and professionally. A policy implementing an avenue to allow greater access to behavioral/mental health resources is something I feel is currently lacking and desperately needed. Times have been trying for our community and overall society, it is time to come together and realign with what we all can agree on being of utmost importance, our student’s well-being, safety and success.

Kurt Mizee

As a parent, life-time resident of Tillamook, a fourth-generation dairy farmer and local business owner I have a broad and deep understanding of the needs and concerns of our community. I have been actively involved in serving in various capacities over the years, including serving the last two years on the Tillamook School Board (as an appointed member), serving on the Tillamook County Planning Commission, and also as a board member and chairman of the Tillamook Farmers Co-op. I attended school at Wilson, East, the Jr. High and High Schools before attending Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture with a minor in Dairy Science. I also serve as Caretaker of the Act in Kindness Project.

Our number one priority as a board for the next year has to be making sure that the new positions being filled at the District Office transition without a hitch. These include Superintendent, Finance Director and the Curriculum Director. In the face of a looming recession with increased costs ranging from diesel for the busses to curriculum price increases we can’t afford to have missed steps. Beyond that it is time to push for greater academic achievement for the good of our students. This will be the charge of the new Superintendent.

Tillamook School District is drastically overdue for a facilities master plan. We need a vision for what our buildings, classrooms, and athletic facilities will look like moving ahead. This allows us to be wise with our infrastructure investments and budget for upgrades and replacements as needed. These improvements are made with tax dollars and they need to be spent thoughtfully to maximize return to the community on that investment.

Neah-Kah-Nie School Board candidate responses

The Headlight Herald recently asked candidates in contested races in the May 16 election for the Neah-Kah-NIe School District’s Board of Directors three questions:

Please give a brief summary of the experiences that qualify you to serve on the Neah-KahNie School Board and why you are running.

Zone 2

Landon Myers

My name is Landon Myers and I’m seeking re-election to the Neah-Kah-Nie School Board for Zone 2. I have served on the school board since 2017. I have two children that are currently enrolled in the NKN School District. I want to continue to be a voice for the parents and community of the district to ensure that our children are receiving the best education possible. I want to make sure that the students that graduate from NKN School District have the knowledge they need to help them be successful in the next step in their life whether it be college, a trade school or just entering the workforce.

My number one priority if re-elected is continuing to make sure that the NKN School District provides the students with the best education possible while maintaining fiscal responsibility. A major part of this is making sure that we not only recruit good educators but also retain the great staff that the district currently has.

One policy that I would like to see implemented is a “parental knowledge policy” This policy would require that the parents not only be informed of sensitive information that their child may be exposed to but that they also be given a copy of the information. For example, throughout the year students participate in “health/ wellness” surveys. The parents are notified that they will be participating in these surveys but they are not shown the content of these surveys. I believe

parents have the right to know what their child is participating in and what the content of the material is. How can a parent make a decision to allow or not allow their child to participate without knowing the exact content of the material?

Marisa Bayouth-Real

I spent 17 years teaching middle school and high school Language Arts at NKN until the pandemic hit and I became a full-time parent. It seems like it is time for me to serve public education again. It is what I have done since I volunteered as a peer reader for kindergartners when I was in 6th grade. Public education is who I am. Accessibility means “the quality of being easy to obtain or use.” I want all students, from all backgrounds, skills, genders, races, religions, orientations, languages and abilities to be able to access their right to a quality public education. Our district can access training that will help staff accomplish this vision through The Oregon Department of Education. Accessibility also applies to the community. Small things like making all community meetings accessible through Zoom will allow families who are deaf/hard of hearing the ability to use apps that create closed captions. It would let a single parent who cannot find/afford childcare the ability to stay informed with district meetings. I would not work to implement policy right away because I would need to learn too much about what is currently happening. Once I had that foundation, I would begin to consider implementing policy. I know that the community has voiced a desire to have a policy that addresses the nearly 100-yearold Nehalem Elementary School Swim Program. This topic has historically been of great importance to families so I would begin there in an effort to better understand and support the community.

Zone 6 Katie Wilkinson

I have lived in the Neah Kah Nie school district for the last 9 years; I have 4 children that are all currently attending schools in this district. I am involved with many extracurricular activities within the school district including sports and clubs. I have been

volunteering with these kids for the last 7 or so years and have seen the challenges they have been facing as well as celebrated the accomplishments they have made. I am in contact with teachers and staff members and hear the concerns they have and feel that I am someone who can be a voice for students, parents, and staff. I have a work background with bookkeeping and a strong financial understanding.

My number one priority will always be student success, students and parents in this district deserve someone who will have boots on the ground and a face in the trench with them. Our school board members should be a face that all students, parents and staff in the district know, I feel I can be that person.

I do not have a policy in mind that I would like to implement right out of the gate. I do want to be an asset in making the hard decisions that come with any situation involving so many people. I like to think outside of the box and come up with solutions that will benefit everyone involved. I would like to see the school board working towards supporting our athletics and club departments so we can maximize the opportunities that are available to our students. Every person involved in our school district deserves to be proud of the school they are associated with.

Michele Aeder

I have served on the NeahKah-Nie School Board for 7 years and am running as an incumbent. I am past board chair of the Tillamook Women’s Crisis Center (now Tides of Change) I have served 15 years on the City of Garibaldi Budget Committee. I was a driver and Manager of the school bus service contracted by the NKN school district for 31 years. Continued cooperation and appreciation of the respectful manner with which the district administrators and staff work with the school board on tough issues. We do not always agree and we have found ways to disagree respectfully and come together in the end to do what is best for kids.

I am a part of the equity committee for the board (the Inclusion Alliance). We are currently working on forms of restorative justice for administrators to use when we experience bias incidents rather than just

Their responses are grouped by the position for which they are running on the board and presented in the same order as their names appear on the ballot.

Position 2

Sherry Hartford

I’m Sherry Hartford, and I’m running for Board Position # 2 for Nestucca Valley School District. I chose to run for the school board because I want to encourage more parental choice and community involvement.

I am also concerned with funding level changes at the state and local level: I want to ensure the school stays funded during the economic downturn. Finally, I want Nestucca to attract and retain high quality educators and staff, decreasing turnover. Our kids are our future and I want to give them every possible resource for success.

If I were elected, my top priorities will be fiscal responsibility and transparency with the community. I will be a positive voice for our children by working for our children. I would help restore the school district and make student achievement my main focus.

My skills and experi -

ences that have helped me prepare myself to serve on the school board are unique. I have lived here for most of my life. I have always had a passion for working with youth so I started coaching at Nestucca. I quickly began mentoring the youth as well and continue to mentor to this day.

I manage 14 rental homes so my ability to problem solve and compromise has been well established. I also have experience with fiscal responsibility.

The issues I believe the current school board needs to address are:

The turnover of quality teachers and staff members. My solution to this problem is to build a strong support system for everyone employed by the district and offering support to them. The ability to have their voices and concerns heard are important to each of them.

The drinking water issue the elementary school is currently facing. My solution is to be transparent with the community and as a team, come up with a solution that would ensure safe drinking water at all times.

Wally Nelson

I have been in the Nestucca District since 1959, I taught at Nestucca for 38 years and was very active as a teacher and have supported the students in their outside activities to help establish a well-rounded person for success in the future. I was also on the Board at the Hebo School District in the 60’s when each school was a separate district.

My priority would be to be very supportive of our members and the staff to make sure our students are getting best educa -

applying a punitive “solution”. Bias is inevitable. We all have biases. Working to educate and better inform students will best prepare them for success in their future.

Zone 7

Joseph Carr

I’m Joe Carr and I live in Bay City. I have a Master’s in Education and served as a teacher/administrator for ten years. As a public servant, I have worked with youth and families for twenty years as an educator, social worker, and as a guardian for incapacitated adults. I have two young students in the district and want to use my experience to help ensure the district provides a rigorous and exciting learning experience for all students.

I would push to secure more funding for the district. I would review the budget and move to create a full-time Grant Specialist dedicated to finding and implementing innovative funding solutions. As a former GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Understanding of Undergraduate Programs) coordinator, I would also work with the new GEAR UP grant team to leverage those resources to update classroom technology and other teaching tools, as well as lay the groundwork for sustainable career education and exploration.

I would review and expand career education in the district. I would establish a Career Council at the district that would invite school staff, parents, local trades schools and colleges, and area business leaders. The council would be an advisory board to create opportunities for career fairs, site visits to local businesses, visits to post-secondary campuses and trade schools, job shadowing, and internship programs. This exposure should be integrated into the learning experience and start at the elementary level.

Christopher Kruebbe

This race is about our young people. I am running because our young people are in crisis and have been for quite a long

time. Young people continue to witness and experience school shootings, teenage pregnancy, child sex-trafficking, fentanyl deaths, substance misuse, addiction, obesity, suicide, oppression, hunger, discrimination, child abuse/neglect, homelessness, bullying, food insecurity, cruelty, isolation loneliness and other social issues. BigTand little t trauma are plaguing their lives. If their basic needs and safety are not being addressed, we are failing them.

Listening to our young people (will be my number one priority if elected). Giving them a voice and addressing their needs.

Inviting and allowing our young people to be a part of the process (is one new policy).

Heidi Luquette

I am running for the NeahKah-Nie School Board because I believe our students, staff, administrators and community deserve leaders on the board who are dedicated to making good decisions that serve the best needs of the district.We have a brand new Superintendent starting this year and I want to be sure that the board is ready to help him to engage with the community and learn our priorities. I have spent the past twelve years working in the field of education. I have been an administrator in K-8 and in higher education. I have experience passing bonds, writing grants, engaging a com-

munity, listening to input from faculty, staff and students, being accountable for achieving student success outcomes and managing public funds. I also have years of experience working with local legislators to ensure our county retains local control of our schools. I have a Master’s degree in Communication and Leadership from Gonzaga University. If elected, I have two key things I want to focus on in the first year. Continued fiscal stability and onboarding our new Superintendent who starts July 1. NKN School District is uniquely funded. Only three school districts in all of Oregon are funded the way we are with only revenue from local property taxes and state timber tax revenues with no State Basic School Support funding from Oregon. With the prospect of declining timber tax revenues due to the Oregon Habitat Conservation Plan anticipated to go into effect, it will be critical for the district to be educated about revenue options and prepare for how to fill potential future funding gaps without lessening opportunities in the classroom.

I am concerned with the mental health of our students. Youth are suffering and it is a nationwide issue that can’t be ignored. The board should be prepared to consider what policies or practices may need to be implemented to ensure students continue to have safe and supported learning environments.

tion possible to live in our changing world. I have no new policy in mind except I will be very willing to work on any good positive policy that I feel will enhance the development of our students.

Position 3

Diane Boisa

I have served on the NVSD board for many years. As a retired elementary school teacher and parent of eleven children who all attended NVSD schools, I have the skills, experience, and insight to be an effective board member.

My number one priority is to help shepherd the completion of the major construction and new programs that are in the works at NVSD such as the Career Technical Center.

The NVSD recently brought a pre-school facility into the district. I would like to see the operation of the pre-school become more fully integrated into the district and become an equal partner.

Position 4

Russ Sanders

I am qualified for this position. I am retired after 39 years working as a teacher and school administrator in Oregon Public Schools.

I have collaborated with school boards on curriculum mapping, Middle School program design, Vision and Mission Statements, Budget Committees and grant-writing. Two of my children graduated from Nestucca High School.

Mooks baseball slips while softball’s struggles continue Pirates

The Tillamook High Cheesemakers baseball team’s 4A playoff hopes are in jeopardy following a 10-2 Cowapa League road loss to the Astoria High Fishermen April 25. The contest marked the fourth straight league loss for Tillamook (2-4 league, 6-9 overall). The Mooks also lost 11-9 at home to Astoria (2-4 league, 6-10 overall) April 21. The Mooks did have some momentum after an 11-1 home win April 22 over the Class

5A Parkrose High Broncos (2-8). The Mooks had a rough start against Astoria as they were unable to generate much offense, going the first four innings with scoring a run. The Mooks finally got on the scoreboard in the fifth with one run, but trailed 5-1. Astoria then took control of the contest with a fiverun sixth inning, to build a 10-1 lead. Tillamook scored a run in the seventh for the final margin. Astoria outhit Tillamook 10-4. Tillamook senior pitcher Cade Ross had a strong performance

on the mound as he scattered seven hits, with five strikeouts and five walks.

Coming off of a great season in 2022 in which they advanced to the Class 4A baseball state playoffs, an experienced Mooks squad with eight seniors was hoping to have another successful season and reach the OSAA playoffs again this year. However, those hopes seem to be fading with each loss.

The playoffs are still a possibility with five games remaining on their Cowapa League schedule. The Mooks will have to turn

things around quickly and win some games to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Tillamook was hoping to bounce back and get a win in Tuesday’s road game versus the St. Helens Lions (2-2 league, 5-11 overall).

The Mooks play their next game Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. on the road versus the Seaside High Seagulls (2-2 league, 8-8 overall). Tillamook follows with a 5 p.m. April 5 home game against Seaside.

Softball still seeking first league win

The Tillamook High Cheesemakers dropped

their 11th straight game with a 12-0 home loss to the Astoria High Fishermen April 25.

The Cheesemakers (0-5 league, 2-11 overall) fell behind 4-0 after three innings and, after a scoreless fourth, Astoria added a run in the fifth to take a 5-0 advantage. The No. 6 ranked Fishermen (5-0 league, 13-2 overall) then had a sevenrun, seventh inning rally to extend their lead to 12-0.

Makinley Nielsen hit a double for the Mooks, but they struggled offensively as they were outhit 11-3 by the Fishermen. Tillamook

also committed a total of six errors, which was a key factor in the loss. Astoria recorded its 13th straight victory. The Mooks were hoping to turn things around and get a win when they played the St. Helens High Lions (2-2 league, 9-6 overall) in a home doubleheader Tuesday. The Mooks also play another home game Thursday at 4:30 p.m. versus the Seaside High Seagulls (1-2 league, 8-6 overall), followed by a rematch between the two squads Friday at 5 p.m. at Seaside High School.

Nestucca High Bobcat baseball falls to Vernonia

Mike Weber

For The Headlight Herald

The No. 26 ranked Nestucca High Bobcats were hoping to get a fourth straight win in an OSAA Class 2A/1A baseball Special District 1 matchup at home against the Vernonia High Loggers.

The Bobcats (5-5 SD1, 8-8 overall) outhit the No. 15 ranked Loggers (3-3 SD1, 9-6 overall) 10-8, but couldn’t overcome two costly errors, losing 8-5 April 25 at Nestucca High School.

Vernonia jumped in front 6-0 in the first inning and Nestucca came out cold of -

fensively with five straight scoreless innings. The Bobcats trailed 8-0 in the sixth, but they finally got going offensively in the bottom half of the frame.

Nestucca scored four in the sixth, highlighted by RBI doubles from freshman Eli Love (2-for-4) and sophomore Nolen Hurliman (2-for-3), trimming the margin to 8-4. The Bobcats, guided by Coach John Sousa, got another run in the seventh, but their comeback effort fell just short. Pitchers Love and junior Keith Marshall combined on the mound to get six strikeouts.

“We had a tough game against Vernonia and they are a very good team,” said

Sousa. “It was their first game in over a week and they came ready to play and they played with lot of energy. We just couldn’t get going after falling behind early. We didn’t really start hitting until the sixth and seventh innings. Our guys did what they needed to do and they chipped away at the deficit and we got some runs near the end of the game.”

Nestucca’s three-game win streak included a 13-2 road win April 24 over the Gaston High Greyhounds (1-6 SD1, 7-9 overall).

The Bobcats jumped out to a 6-1 lead after three innings and then they exploded for seven runs in the fifth for a 13-2 advantage

to conclude the game early via the 10-run Mercy Rule.

Nestucca junior pitcher Kenneth Blackburn scattered seven hits with seven strikeouts and five walks.

Love (2-for-3, RBI), junior Zac Collins (2-for-3, RBI) and Marshall (2-for-4, RBI) led the Bobcats offense, which racked up nine hits.

The Bobcats won a three-game series 2-1 against the Clatskanie High Tigers April 18-21. Nestucca lost the first game 5-3 at Clatskanie High School. The Bobcats bounced back and did some home cooking in the next two games as they got a sweep of the Tigers in an April 21 home doubleheader 11-8 and 13-3.

The Bobcats had a tough time in a matchup versus the No. 7 ranked league leading Knappa High Loggers (8-1 league, 10-5 overall) as they lost an April 14 doubleheader 9-0 and 10-0 at Knappa High School. The Bobcats faced the Class 3A No. 7 ranked Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates (9-0 SD1, 12-4 overall) in a local area arch rivalry matchup Monday at home, followed by a contest versus the Port-land Christian High Royals (0-9 SD1, 0-12 overall) Tuesday in Portland. The Bobcats conclude the regular season with a 3 p.m. home doubleheader May 5 versus the Royals. The league playoffs begin May 12.

neighbors’ distaste for the aesthetic created by the tires determined the property was in violation. They also determined that a road approach which Hunter had built to access the property was also in violation.

They demanded that Hunter remove all tires not associated with his vehicles from the property within 30 days, as well as the illegal road approach.

By February 1, that deadline had come and gone when McCall returned to the commissioners to let them know that after one dumpster had been filled with tires at the property progress had stalled.

The commissioners granted Hunter a further 30-day extension but added in weekly checkpoints, to be set by McCall, for him to meet or the public works department would do the work and charge Debrey for it.

After two more weeks passed without progress, the county sent a letter to Debrey informing her that they would be coming to do the work shortly.

A crew from the public works department started the work on February 21 and completed it, after a pause caused by February’s historic snowstorm, on March 2. The report presented to the commissioners by McCall on April 26 showed that a grand total of $20,026 had been spent on labor, equipment and dumping fees to dispose of more than two tons of waste from the property.

I am running to support the safety and health of students and staff.

I support the creation of a Community Health Center, to support the health and wellness of the local community. I will prioritize actions that address the academic

Hunter was present at the board meeting, joined by a lawyer, and said that the work crews had taken a considerable amount of his property that had been neither tires nor solid waste. According to Hunter, he had been storing extra sets of tires for his vehicles as well as a variety of construction equipment and a generator in two tents adjacent to the illegal road approach and those materials had been removed as well.

Hunter had made an inventory of those items and determined that, in total, they were worth around $18,000.

Commissioners asked McCall and Chris Laity, the county’s public works director, if they had been aware of the tents. McCall said that he had not and Laity said that he had seen one tent closer to the

strengths and weaknesses of each student. The district gathers periodic data on student academic achievement. This data drives decision making for targeted academic interventions. NVSD is small enough that students are well known to staff, and their academic needs can be addressed.

Board Policies are constantly reviewed and updated or eliminated by the work of the Board. I would advocate for a strong policy focus on Critical Thinking Skills provided by Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math courses that are integrated Preschool through 12th grade.

I would advocate that the next new building project for the Nestucca Valley School District would be a Community Center/Performing Arts Auditorium.

McCall was out of the office and did not have access to pictures taken immediately before and after the work and Hunter did not bring those that he had taken.

Commissioner Erin Skaar suggested that the commissioners delay the matter for two weeks to allow McCall and Hunter to gather photos. The board will then decide on what to charge for the work when accounting for the removal of extra property.

Once that figure is determined, Debrey will have 60 days to pay it or a lien will be placed against her property.

in creating open dialogue to allow opposing sides opportunity to cohesively resolve issues. We know not everyone will be fully supported however, everyone should feel represented and heard.

My children have said they often cannot drink the water. I would like to find out why the water is this way. Devise a plan and find funding from either donations or fundraising, to remedy our brand-new facility of having “bad” water.

Pirates extend win streak to 10 with four victories in five days

By Mike Weber

For The Headlight Herald

The No. 6 ranked NeahKah-Nie High Pirates extended their win streak to 10 straight in Class 3A Special District 1 baseball with a 13-2 home victory over the Corbett High Cardinals April 26.

The Pirates (10-0 SD1, 13-4 overall), guided by Coach Rob Herder, jumped out to an early 11-0 lead after two innings over the Cardinals (0-7 SD1, 2-8 overall). Neah-Kah-Nie added two more in the third for a 13-0 advantage. Corbett got two in the fifth to avoid a shutout and the game ended early after five innings thanks to the 10-run Mercy Rule.

“Anthony Allen really had an outstanding game for us while pitching three and two-third in-nings and he just did a great job,” said Herder. “At one point during the game, they (Cardinals) loaded the bases with no outs and Anthony was able to get out of that jam with two strikeouts and then we got a putout of a baserunner and nobody scored for Corbett in that inning.”

The Pirate pitching trio of senior Keagan Lane, Allen (seven strikeouts) and senior Parker Hop-kins combined on the mound to toss a five-hitter with eight strikeouts. The Pirates had a total of six hits and they were led offensively by seniors Cole Brown (2-for4, four RBI) and Humber-to G-Keith (2-for-4) and junior Calvin Gernert (2-for-3, two RBI). This group of kids has been playing together for a long time,” said Herder. “We really thought that last season would be our year at the Class 2A/1A level and we had a great season and reached the quarterfinals. We kind of feel like we have some unfinished business and we’ve kind of taken that approach this year. Everyone on our team, with the exception of two kids, remembers that playoff game in Dufur (a season-ending, 10-0 loss). Then we got bumped up to Class 3A this year and so we’re not really changing anything, but we’re just taking it to a new level.”

fourth game in five days. The Pirates won at home 18-2 over the Catlin Gabel High Eagles (0-8 SD1, 1-11 overall) April 22 followed by an 8-2 road win over the Horizon Christian High Hawks (3-3 SD1, 7-7 overall) April 24. The Pirates then won 11-1 at home over the Westside Christian High Eagles (0-6 SD1, 3-8 overall) April 25.

The contest vs. Corbett marked Neah-Kah-Nie’s

“We’re doing really well and what I really like about our team is that our guys have a fearless attack in their at-bats when they see pitchers throwing with a high velocity,” said Herder. “We have a good winning formula and I’m happy with the way we’re performing right now. We have kids that work really hard and they’re very deserving.”

Neah-Kah-Nie built an 11-0 lead over Westside Christian after three innings. The Eagles got one run in the fourth and then the game concluded after five innings by the Mercy Rule.
