Tillamook receives Moda Assist grant

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook has received a grant of more than $35,000 from the Moda Assist Program that the city will use to add accessible playground equipment to Coatsville Park. The city plans to use the grant, awarded in conjunction with the Portland Trail Blazers, as a launchpad to apply for other grants that will help install a complete playground at the park.

“The city is very thankful for Moda Health and the Blazers and their partnership on this,” said Tillamook City Executive Assistant Madelyn Orton. “We can’t wait to work together with our state partners and the community to make the parks of Tillamook, starting with Coatsville, accessible to all children.”

Through the Moda Assist, each Blazers assist during the NBA season adds $20 to the grant fund, before the total sum is donated at the end of the season to an Oregon city to help purchase Americans with

Disability Act (ADA) compliant playground equipment. The program has donated $245,000 to 10 cities across the state cumulatively.

In past years, cities had applied for the grant, but this year the selection process changed, with the Blazers and Moda selecting a community without receiving applications. Tillamook came to the fore after hosting a Rip City rally last September, at which Blazers and Moda representatives were impressed by the city.

“I just want the city of Tillamook and the people of Tillamook to know

how wonderful Tillamook is,” Orton said. “The city made a wonderful impression on them so they just chose Tillamook.”

Several city staff attended a Trail Blazers game in April to receive an oversized novelty check for $35,360 at halftime. The award total will be adjusted to reflect the end of season assist total.

Now, staff will begin working to find further funding to facilitate a larger project at the park. According to Orton, many pieces of ADA compliant playground equipment cost

around $30,000 individually, making further funding a priority.

“Either way, we’re going to do the best we can with what we have but right now we’re hoping that we can expand that budget so we can do more,” Orton said. She plans to reach out to the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation to inquire about potential funding, before approaching other agencies and foundations. A plan for the project will be developed once a final funding package is in place.

County clerk releases second round of election results

The Tillamook County Clerk released an updated vote count for May 16 special district elections on Thursday, showing that several races had been swayed by the 1,002 votes counted since election day.

In the Tillamook School District, Matthew Petty overcame what looked to be a narrow defeat to pull ahead of challenger Danell Boggs.

In the Nestucca Valley School District, the update showed that Diane Boisa had weathered a challenge from Greg Woods after she had appeared on track to lose on election night and that Zachary Best’s margin of victory over Russ Sanders had been shaved to a single vote.

Not in doubt is the fate of the proposed bond for the Nehalem Bay Health District’s new health clinic and pharmacy, which remained on track to pass by a wide margin, having received 70% of votes tallied.

The $10.25 million bond will be used in conjunction with federal funding to build a $12.2 million health center and pharmacy in Wheeler, complete a $2.3 million upgrade to the district’s senior

care facility and demolish the Old Wheeler Hospital to make way for workforce housing.

On election night, the closest race was for Tillamook School Board Position 1, where challenger Boggs held a 5-vote lead over incumbent Petty after the initial vote count. However, votes tallied after election day broke hard for Petty and the updated results showed him with a 109-vote advantage.

The race for position 3 on Nestucca Valley’s School Board also had a reversal from election night, when Woods had possessed a 10-percentage point margin over incumber Boisa. The update showed Boisa prevailing by 17 votes.

Justin Aufdermauer remained poised to win his election for Tillamook’s

School Board against Heidi Rieger with 57% of the vote, retaining the seat to which he was appointed earlier this year. Incumbents Kris Lachenmeier and Kurt Mizee look ready to retain their seats, having received 59% and 57% of the votes counted in their races, respectively.

In elections for the Neah-Kah-Nie School Board, Marisa Bayouth-Real was still on track to unseat Landon Myers, having received 55% of the vote, Michele Aeder held a large lead in the race to keep her seat against a challenge from Katie Wilkinson, and in a crowded race for Zone 7’s seat, Joseph Carr looked to have secured the victory with a 44% plurality of the vote in the four-way race.

Tillamook volunteer firefighters respond to district controversy

To the citizens of Tillamook Fire District:

The last 17 months, there has been much contention at Tillamook Fire District regarding an incident of unauthorized video recordings of fire department personnel released without consent and distributed publicly.

A criminal investigation and a private 3rd party investigation, concluded in the dismissal of 2 personnel, and 2 lawsuits against the Fire District. The Tillamook Volunteer Firefighters Association stands behind the Tillamook Fire District’s fire chief and board of directors’ decision.

These incidences have cost the taxpayers over $50,000 in attorney fees to date, that could have been better spent on public safety. The Tillamook Volunteer Firefighters

Association does not tolerate that type of behavior. Our firefighters’ sole mission is to save lives, protect property and tend to any other emergencies that may arise.

Our volunteers focus on professionalism during training and on emergency calls. This has disgraced and embarrassed our organization and community, which ultimately led to the resignation of Chief Bement.

In 3 and a half years, Chief Bement has accomplished a lot for the Tillamook Fire District volunteers and citizens. We thank him for his dedication and service to the citizens of Tillamook Fire District. Chief Bement’s accomplishments include:

• Seismic upgrade grant approved ($2.5 Million).

• Oregon State Fire Marshal’s water tender grant

($300K - $400K).

• Acceptance of $100K from the Estate of Joe Martin (long time Board member).

• Assisted with procurement of the grant for the Zoll Cardiac Monitors ($96K).

• Assisted with an extrication tool grant from the NW Farm Credit Bureau ($40K+).

• Oregon State Fire Marshal staffing grant ($35K).

• Exhaust removal system grant in the apparatus bay ($35K).

• Pending grant submitted for FEMA for radio communications ($400K).

Respectfully, The Tillamook Volunteer Firefighters Association Unanimously approved May 17, 2023

State taxpayer to see $5.5B kicker

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis has issued the latest revenue forecast, projecting an additional $1.96 billion in state revenue.

The outlook for personal and corporate income taxes has risen by $1.5 to $2 billion over the forecast horizon due to the updated model methodology. The 2021-23 personal kicker is now estimated to be $5.5 billion, and the corporate kicker is now estimated to be $1.8 billion.

The kicker tax credit goes into effect when the actual state revenue exceeds the forecasted revenue by at least 2%. An amount is then returned to the taxpayers through a credit on their tax returns.

Inflationary economic booms have not traditionally ended well, meaning not without a recession. As such it is easy to be pessimistic about the outlook for the economy, according to the Oregon Revenue Forecast Summary.

“Economic developments like last year’s goods recession, and the banking turmoil earlier this year add more fear

to the outlook. However, a near-term recession is far from a slam dunk. The reasons include some nascent signs that inflation is cooling and the Federal Reserve is looking to pause its interest rate increases which limits the potential for overtightening. Furthermore, the economy is showing some signs of renewed strength as housing and manufacturing stabilize, and income growth is again outpacing inflation. All of these indicate a sudden stop in the economy in the short- term is unlikely,” the Oregon Economic Forecast Summary states.

The Forecast’s Revenue Outlook states:

“Available resources are expected to be up sharply relative to what was assumed in the March 2023 forecast, both in the near term and over the extended horizon. The upward revision in the outlook is based both on a stronger than expected tax filing season, as well as methodological changes made in light of fundamental shifts seen in recent years.”

Reaction Gov. Tina Kotek said the Oregon Legislature must use the incoming revenue to address the pressing spending needs of the state.

“Oregonians have clear expectations for legislators to address our housing crisis, ensure that our behavioral health system is accessible in every part of the state, and set up our youngest students for success,” Kotek said. “The revenue forecast lays the path for bold leadership. We cannot afford to squander this opportunity, and I look forward to a continued partnership with legislative leaders to deliver results for all regions of the state.”

The Governor restated her call for focusing on the state’s top priorities:

• $316 million to continue and expand on the state’s response to homelessness prevention and unsheltered homelessness, and $1 billion in bonding to build and preserve more affordable housing.

• $280 million dollar investment to address the behavioral health crisis playing out across Oregon communities and support a more accessible, better staffed system of care no matter where people live.

• $120 million to improve

early literacy by delivering the science of reading across all 197 school districts in Oregon to help our students learn to read and write.

In addition, the forecast provides the opportunity to address a range of other urgent issues that are impacting Oregonian’s daily lives. The figures below are in addition to those originally proposed in the Governor’s Recommended Budget:

• $64 million to address urgent water quality and infrastructure issues in communities, particularly those that are small and rural, across the state.

• $207 million to continue advancements in the state’s wildfire protection system.

• $6.3 million to open more training slots so more officers can move through the academy at the Department of Public Safety Standard and Training.

• $6.7 million to address the backlog at the Oregon Board of Parole for updating the state’s sex offender registry.

Senate President Rob Wagner (D-Lake Oswego) released the following statement:

“We have an incredible opportunity this session to fund access to health care, stronger public schools, job training and behavioral health treatment that will improve the lives of people all across Oregon. It is critical all 30 state senators are here to have a say and vote on how we invest this money to the maximum benefit of Oregonians. Senate Republicans must return so we can seize this momentous opportunity.”

Oregon House Speaker Dan Rayfield (D-Corvallis) issued the following statement after the release of a healthy revenue forecast:

“We were elected to address the top issues Oregonians care about most: homelessness, behavioral health, education, community safety, and access to healthcare. Today’s revenue forecast affirms our plan to move a responsive, sustainable budget that prioritizes these key issues.

“Despite today’s forecast, we know that working families are still struggling with

TCCA partnered with Seattle-based award-winning architecture firm Olson Kundig on the concept design. Honoring TCCA’s Stewardship commitments, the PDX Play Area was built on flooring manufactured with 78 percent recycled rubber. From there, visitors can explore a climbing area that leads to an abundance of Tillamookproducts atop a life-sized flying Yum Bus – the brand’s iconic retrofitted bus – which doubles as a slide.

Rockaway Beach Council approves budget

WILL CHAPPELL Citizen Editor

Rockaway Beach’s City Council approved the city’s budget for fiscal year 2024 at their meeting on May 10.

They also named Sandy Johnson Rockaway Beach’s 2023 Volunteer of the Year and selected grand marshals for the July Fourth Parade.

The council unanimously approved the budget as recommended by the budget committee, with one clerical error corrected in a motion. They also extended the city’s contract with the Tillamook Sheriff’s Department for policing services and accepted state funding for the upcoming year.

The meeting started with presentations from Tillamook County Director of Community Development Sarah Absher on senate bill 406 and the proposed changes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Flood Insurance Plan.

funding for housing studies to communities across the state, and, according to Absher, would allow an opportunity to expand Rockaway Beach’s urban growth boundary.

The National Flood Insurance Plan provides FEMA backed flood insurance to property owners while also setting standards for local ordinances regulating development in floodplains.

The proposed changes to the plan were precipitated by a 2009 lawsuit brought against FEMA by the Audubon Society. The suit claimed that the National Flood Insurance Plan was causing harm to coho salmon, among other marine species, in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act.

As a result of the suit, FEMA was ordered to commission the National Marine Fisheries Service to investigate those claims, leading to a 2016 biological opinion concurring with the suit’s claims.

sparked a suit by Oregonians for Floodplain Protection in 2017, objecting to the requirement, and a congressionally legislated pause to implementation of the update in 2018. That pause expired in 2021 and efforts by retiring Congressman Peter DeFazio to extend it in late 2022 did not come to fruition.

Absher said that these updates would impact Tillamook County the most of any in the state, with its large proportion of floodplain. She also noted that an update to the model used to create maps of the 100-year floodplain was ongoing and is expected to increase the size of the plain.

Senate Bill 406 would open all cities in Oregon to the development of “missing middle” housing, i.e., duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and cottage clusters to help address the state’s affordable housing crisis. The bill would also provide

MLS#23-185 Call Debbie $825,000

This opinion called for the program to update its requirements to require new developments in the 100-year floodplain be built to a no net loss standard, meaning any loss in water retention in the floodplain would have to be completely offset.

These potential updates

Johnson was selected by the council as Volunteer of the Year in recognition for her wide-ranging service to the community. Johnson is a member of the planning commission and helps the city to write grants. She also participates in the organization of the July Fourth Parade and annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony and helps to maintain the city’s landscaping by watering and caring for plantings around town.

The council selected Terry Walhood, Ronnie Duckworth and the Rockaway Roastery to serve as grand marshals for this year’s Fourth of July Parade, in recognition of their service to the community.

The council also discussed an increase to the city’s short-term rental (STR) license fee at their council workshop before the meeting. The proposed increase would double the fee from $250 to $500 and would allow the city to expand its STR inspection and enforcement efforts, according to City Manager Luke Shepard.

Councilor Mary McGinnis noted that the city’s current fee is well below other towns on Oregon’s north coast, all of which charge a minimum of $500. Mayor Charles McNeilly said that increased enforcement and inspection would allow the program to provide increased economic benefits for the city by removing unused properties from the pool.

The council will vote on the proposed increase at its regular meeting in June.

Garibaldi discusses major utility rate raises

Garibaldi’s City Council began discussions of major utility rate increases at their meeting on May 15, planning a town hall to solicit public feedback ahead of a vote in June.

The rate increases would be the first since 2010, and according to Mayor Tim Hall and other councilors are long overdue and necessary to keep the city operating.

“It’s not pleasant folks, I’m not happy,” Hall said, “in terms of being mayor, it’s going to be a difficult next two years.”

City staff presented two

potential options for increases to water and wastewater rates. Increases of 47.49% or 51.81% were proposed to water rates, which would see the residential base rate rise from $24.50 to either $36.14 or $37.20. The monthly charge for sewer service would rise from $50 to a proposed $60.24 or $61.17. An increase to systems development charges for new developments is also being explored, with Engineering Firm Civil West recommending a fee of no more than $3,000 until further studies can be completed.

According to Councilor

Katie Findling the city’s water fund is close to running

out of money because of the inadequacy of current rates. Those rates, enacted in 2010, were supposed to be adjusted upwards by up to 3% on an annual basis by the city manager, but those adjustments were never made.

The council agreed to schedule a town hall on May 31, where community members will be asked to offer their feedback on the proposed rate increases as well as the budget that has been presented.

Councilors also unanimously approved the foundation of a footpaths and bicycle trails reserve fund in the city budget. Oregon law requires that 1% of state

highway funds awarded to cities be dedicated to the development of footpaths and bike trails, and the reserve fund will allow the city to set aside that allocation.

A discussion also began on adjustments to the city’s transient room tax advertising reimbursement program. Hall noted that the program has consistently failed to disburse its full funding allocation and said that he believed the review committee should be expanded. The council will discuss the matter again and potentially take a vote at a special meeting on May 23.

Rockaway Beach hires Wheeler and Nehalem city managers as city planner and recorder

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

Rockaway Beach Mayor Charles McNeilly announced last week that the city has hired a new city planner and recorder, both of whom will start on June 1.

Mary Johnson will become the city planner, departing the city manager’s position in Wheeler, while Melissa Thompson-Kiefer will leave the same position in Nehalem to become the city’s recorder.

“City of Rockaway Beach, as a desirable place to work, continues to attract high

caliber, qualified candidates for open positions this year,” Mayor Charles McNeilly wrote in a statement to the Herald. McNeilly had earlier announced the hirings on the board of county commissioners’ weekly countywide update call on May 16.

McNeilly noted that the average age in Rockaway Beach had decreased by a decade in between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, and that more families had also taken up residence in the community. These demographic changes have led to an increase in services and support sought

from city staff.

Johnson’s hiring will let the city move planning tasks in house to allow for a better response to the tactical and strategic planning needs of the community, according to McNeilly.

“Mary (Johnson) is well suited to lead our planning efforts with over 10 years of management and legal experience as well as first class communication, outreach and public relation skills,” McNeilly wrote. Johnson’s departure from Wheeler leaves the city with one staff member.

County meetings roundup

Headlight Editor

Tillamook County Commissioners and the Tillamook and Wheeler City Councils each had meetings with short agendas during the week of May 15.

In Wheeler, the council adopted a budget for fiscal year 2024, while commissioners named May as “Older Americans Month” in Tillamook County.

The Wheeler budget was approved as recommended by the city’s budget committee, with a slight change made in the distribution of the parks budget on May 16.

City Manager Mary Johnson also announced her resignation at the meeting, ahead of becoming Rockaway Beach’s city planner on June 1.

This departure led a public commenter to question whether the departure had anything to do with Mayor Doug Honeycutt’s part time residency in the community. Honeycutt took extreme offense at this suggestion and ended the meeting after Councilor Deanne Ragnell echoed the commenters’ concerns.

In addition to naming May “Older Americans Month” in Tillamook, county commissioners also approved a new policy for library community meeting spaces, prioritizing library, nonprofit and private rental usage, in that order They further declared two vehicles, a 2001 Ford Explorer and 2004 Ford Ranger, belonging to the community development department as surplus, allowing for their

disposal.

Tillamook City Council approved an initial expenditure of just over $59,000, as part of a total of $590,000 for a new sludge screw press for the city’s wastewater treatment plant. The machine is necessary to convert wastewater into sludge for disposal through a process known as dewatering. The funding for the sludge screw press is being provided by a low interest loan that will be paid back from the sewer budget. They also held a second reading on and approved updates to bring the city’s accessory dwelling units’ ordinance into compliance with state statute by removing off-street parking requirement and a call for units to be similar to the primary structure on the property.

12 Angry Jurors Opens Friday, June 2 in Nehalem, get your tickets today

By ELLIS CONKLIN

It is 1957, a hot summer day in New York City. Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat is soon to become that year’s bestseller. Brigadoon has crowds pouring into Broadway theaters. The Giants and Dodgers are playing their final season in the Big Apple. And, in a few months, the world will change forever when the Soviet Union launches Sputnik-1, the earth’s first artificial satellite.

Meanwhile, on this sweltering late-afternoon, a gripping, suspenseful courtroom drama is unfolding inside a claustrophobic New York jury room, giving a startled audience a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how jury deliberations take place during a murder trial.

12 Angry Men was initially broadcast as a television play in 1954 and proved so popular that it was adapted for the stage. The acclaimed Hollywood director Sidney Lumet three years later directed the well-received screen adaptation of 12 Angry Men, starring Henry Fonda.

A 19-year-old man, a tenement-dwelling Hispanic, has just gone through a six-day trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are led into a bleak, sweltering jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case – until one of the jurors begins sowing seeds of reason-

able doubt in the others’ eyes. Tempers flare, arguments grow heated, and the jurors, several of who nearly come of blows, become 12 angry jurors!

At the outset of deliberations on this stifling summer afternoon, 11 voters deliver “guilty” verdicts, and only Juror No. 8 submits a verdict of “not guilty.” Masterfully played by Sue Neuer, she urges the others to rethink their position and to take their time doing so – this despite impatient and clownish Juror No. 7’s

(Jon Helzer) plea that he has tickets to see Damn Yankees on Broadway and wants this ordeal to end sooner than later.

But, argues Neuer, a young life of the accused is at stake. Neuer demonstrates that the murder weapon – a switchblade – is hardly as unique as the prosecution claimed, and the eldest Juror No. 9 (Ellis Conklin), shocks his fellow jurors by joining her in a “not guilty” vote.

Soon, Juror No. 5 (Walter

Thompson-Kiefer will fill the city recorder position that was recently reestablished. McNeilly said that this move was made to allow City Manager Luke Shepard more time for strategic planning and to enhance the city’s customer service.

Nehalem has already begun the recruitment process to replace Thompson-Kiefer as city manager, with the position listed on the League of Oregon Cities’ website, with a salary range between $75,000 and $95,000.

This hangar is a challenge to the port. (My words not the port’s) “ What do we do for Hangar ‘B’? Do we sell it, tear it down, rent it or leave, as is.” We, the Friends of Tillamook Air Museum, have

one goal for now: fix the leaks, repair the doors and then put on a new roof. The port recently spent a huge amount of money to do a structural report and estimation of costs. The estimate for repairing the leaks was $1.5 million.

There are several ways you could help: monetary donations, large or small, treat yourself and your partner to a lovely banquet; donate for the silent auction; board members; volunteers; and Information about your personal history with the hangar.

Imagine journeying to the crossroads of Europe and Africa, where the rich culture and history of Spain, Portugal, Morocco and the stunning waters of the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet. As you explore these countries, you will relive the Age of Discovery, when explorers brought treasures from around the world—now on glorious display in Portuguese palaces and Spanish cathedrals.

The Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the 2024 Travel Abroad Tour to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. This will be a 16-day trip that will begin April 26th, 2024, with includes 14 nights of handpicked hotels, breakfast each morning, guided sightseeing tours with local experts and a private deluxe motor coach. There is also an extended 19-day version of the trip that will include more time in Madrid and Barcelona.

The college has hired a project management firm, Wenaha, to coordinate and manage both projects. We have also hired Opsis to be the architects for both projects.The Healthcare Education Building will be constructed across the college driveway from the main campus. It will contain all the Healthcare-related programs, including the new Nursing program that is slated to start next winter. It will also hold administrative offices which are badly needed, as well as a large community event center for college and community events and meetings.

Three committees are working on the design of the new building. One is working on the instructional spaces for the healthcare programs, including classrooms and specialized labs for our nursing, medical assisting, nursing assistant, phlebotomy, EMT and paramedic, along with other programs we develop in the future. The second committee is working on the administrative space layout, and the third committee which includes community members, is working on the community event center space. We plan to complete the design phase this summer and break ground on the new facility by next winter. A June 2025 opening is hoped for so we can have the first indoor graduation on the TBCC campus in our history. For the Center for Industrial Technology building, Opsis is working with staff on the design for the renovations that will include classroom and lab spaces for our Manufacturing and Welding programs. This building was purchased by the college two years ago and we then received a $1.1M grant from the Economic Development Administration agency of the federal government to fund the renovations. We plan to have the work completed by next winter with classes being held there by next spring.

The budget for this building is $22.4M, including the $14.4M from the local bond election last year along with $8M from the Oregon State Legislature as matching capital construction funds. The bonds from the local county election were sold last month and thanks to an excellent AA- rating, we sold all the bonds and obtained a premium of over $1M; we will now have over $23.5M to use for the project. The state bonds from the legislature will be sold this month, so we will have the

Mills) also changes his verdict to “not guilty,” and slowly but surely the dominos fall in favor of the 19-year-old. At the end, those that will not abide of any evidence that perhaps creates reasonable doubt are Jurors No. 3 (Bryan Churchill, who delivers a mesmerizing performance), No. 4 (Byronie Arnold), and Juror No. 10 (Jacob Merwin), who, unlike the other jurors, demonstrates no real change in character and remains tainted by unbridled, unremorseful racism.

The juror’s final verdict and how they reach it, in tense scenes that electrify audiences and keep them on the edge of their seats, add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature that is not to be missed.

In essence, this a play about 12 people in charge of deciding, not the guilt or innocence of this young man, but only whether there is reasonable doubt.

If there is one underlying theme to 12 Angry Jurors it maybe that anything is possible. As Juror No. 9 wisely puts in during one memorable scene in Act 2, he says of Juror No. 8’s decision early on to become the lone “not guilty” vote: “It takes a great deal of courage to stand alone even if you believe in something very

City news: Per the May 2023 Monthly meeting, Garibaldi Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Jay Marugg noted the City’s fire department, along with Garibaldi Rural Fire and Bay City Fire continue making inroads towards a po-

tential single, encompassing Fire District. Representatives from the entities, along with representatives from the Port of Garibaldi, and corresponding City and unincorporated areas within the district continue to put the proposal together.

In the interim, Garibaldi

Fire & Rescue & Bay City Fire are working on establishing an intergovernmental agreement to streamline their “operation and training platform.”

If you start seeing U.S. 101 getting ripped up here this summer, don’t get too excited. It’s not the longawaited downtown repaving project. We’re not that lucky. It’s a major repair to a broken pipe. And it can’t wait. To make it worse, the estimated cost to fix the pipe will be greater than the City’s contribution to the near-$13 million downtown paving project. By the way, we have an opening for a Public Works director. All inquiries may be directed to City Hall. And then there was the latest on the finances. It started when all-around saint Denise van Loon, who currently serves on the city’s planning commission and is the Commission’s representative on the GURA committee & GURA budget committee – the latter of which was essentially conscripted into the city’s budget committee -- spoke up in the monthly meeting public comment. She noted that during the city budget hearings, it was scary to hear the sobering realization of how the city was at risk of dissolution due to the state of the finances.

When I heard about Mrs. van Loon’s comment, I reached out to city councilor / retired government auditor Linda Bade. To quote one of my favorite songwriters, Lin-

The listening session for the Salmonberry Trail Project on May 17 opened with attendees describing their favorite parts of living in Rockaway Beach. The single most common observation: walkability. Residents and visitors alike love the centralized, downtown business district between North and South 3rd street and the Wayside just at South First. But more than walkability, the trail needs to address accessibility. Bill Hassell, president of the city planning commission, has been conferring with Victor Troxel on wheelchair access. Troxel, of course, traverses the city on his Segway, so he has a keen understanding of the challenges of navigating on a wheeled device. His beachaccessible wheelchairs are a welcome feature here in the summer. Hassell’s vision: “An ADA-compliant city that would let people take wheelchairs to the beach.” He mentioned the plan to create ramps at various beach access points. While beyond the scope of the Salmonberry Trail, it’s still an important city goal. Hassell concluded his comments with the hope that “we’re the first city in the world [that makes it possible] to go all the way from the high school to the Big Cedar boardwalk in a wheelchair.”

Statistics underscore the importance of wheeled access—meaning bikes and strollers as well as wheelchairs. Jon-Paul Bowles of Destination Management Advisors, the company involved in the planning of the project, said that the average age in Rockaway Beach was 55.5 years in 2010, but dropped to 46.6 by 2021. Residents under 19 years of age make up 24% of the city; residents 65 and older make up 27%. This leaves roughly half of the population in the middle,

SCOTT FISHER ROCKAWAY BEACH

comprising families with children, reflected in our rising school population. “We need to make accessibility multigenerational—from strollers to wheelchairs,” Bowles observed.

Next came the role of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) in administration and design of the project. ODOT funds include a recent award of $750,000. This will cover a comprehensive engineering analysis, including bridges, wetlands and enhanced crossings on Highway 101.

Additional existing funds for the program include between five and six million dollars at present, but 2024 will see an increase of $40 million, due to the availability of federal funds.

A key challenge is the absence of a crossing at 12th Street, the only access from 101 to the Lake Lytle neighborhood as well as the boat launch. The city recently leased the parking area from Tillamook County, which owns the lot. Plans to develop it include general improvements, but especially an enhanced, ADA-accessible kayak launching dock. A safe crossing at 12th is crucial to this.

The session then moved on to concerns about where to put the Trail. Mayor Charles McNeilly stressed the feelings of merchants and residents alike: “We absolutely cannot remove parking. If we remove it, we must replace it one for

one. That would be a bedrock priority.”

Another key priority is extending walkability north and south of downtown. This would extend south as far as Warehouse 10, and north to the old location of Littoral and the Rockaway Beach Little Store. Both of those businesses found themselves too far from the core of the city. Littoral now shares space with Upper Crust Pizza; the Rockaway Beach Little Store closed last year.

Mayor McNeilly stressed the importance of attending these listening sessions. “This is a dynamic time in the city. We need more broad public engagement from the people, not just the city government and business leaders.” Councilor Mary McGinniss echoed this, adding, “We have to grapple with all the different challenges and serious constraints.”

The next listening session is scheduled for late June. Check the city’s website at http://corb.us for the date and time, as well as for a link to attend via Zoom. You can also submit comments online: click on the General Information button under the Salmonberry Trail Project (at the left side of the city’s home page), then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the button labeled online comment form.

It was hotter than blazes in Oregon over Mother’s Day weekend. Cape Meares reached a scorching 91.4℉ on both Saturday and Sunday. Hope all the hot mamas out there had a great Mother’s Day.

The fishing report for Mother’s Day weekend features a mother of a fish.

Tony Papadopoli caught a 22-lb. spring Chinook on May 13, the biggest springer he has ever caught. A couple of the guide boats have been catching fish recently, too; congrats to all. Fishing should continue to improve as we head into late May and June.

Simon Freeman, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department park ranger for our area, watched a fascinating nature story unfold on Bayocean Spit earlier this month. A mother grey whale and her calf nearly beached on the spit. Simon suspects these whales found themselves in shallow water as they evaded killer whales that were hunting them. He shot some great video of the mother and baby whale in the surf (Facebook group “What’s Up in Tillamook County”).

Fortunately, the duo was able to return to sea on a deeper incoming tide. Simon emphasizes that it is important to keep in mind that fed-

da’s update was “more bacon than the pan could handle,” and she fried my brain. Her strategy was so incredible, I noted she should turn it into an op-ed. At the time of this writing, she was finishing her initial draft.

When she told me, the first thing that came to mind was that digging into the depth of our finance issues is like Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. In short and broad terms, what we first thought we knew about the state of the City was only shadows flickering on a dimly lit cave wall. Each time we seek to get closer to the light, we are blinded and overwhelmed until we can adapt and adjust to our surroundings. Once we see things clearly in that step, we proceed forward until we are blinded again. Along the way, our world gets bigger and brighter, more dangerous, and vibrantly spectacular. Chugging and churning, one step at a time. Exploring new depths and discovering unbeknownst truths.

With each step, everything changes, and everything we thought we knew pales in comparison to what we next discover.

And if we’re really diligent, and continue to trust the process, we will make it out of the shadowy cave and into the brilliant light of day.

Even if we have to walk through fire to do so.

Simon points out that we share the ocean shore with a variety of amazing animals, such as western snowy plovers, pupping harbor seals, molting elephant seals, and the occasional beached whale, so it is important to give them the space they need to thrive on our amazing coastline.

The Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA)

held its annual meeting on May 13, 2023, with more than 25 people in attendance.

A slate of 10 board members was elected and amended bylaws were passed.

Mike Sinnott of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) gave a presentation about Eurasian watermilfoil, a noxious and invasive plant growing in Cape Meares Lake, and ODFW’s plan to eradicate it—good news for lake fishermen and kayakers, as well as for the fish and native plants at risk in the lake. The eradication procedure will occur twice in July, and ODFW will continue to monitor to make sure there is not a recurrence.

There was also a presentation by Charles Ansorge and Spike Klobas, members of the Oceanside Water District board, highlighting historically high usage of water in the summer, its effect on our overall water supply, and possible future rate increases.

Have you ever heard of “Plogging?” The invented verb takes a “p” from “pick up” and an “l” from “litter” an replaces the “j” in “jogging.” That being said, I bet you can guess what “plawking” is. I learned of these terms for litter jogs or walks (which I’ve taken for decades on Condor Bridge Road, Gist Road or our beaches) through mail from my son in Chicago. His neighborhood association publishes a little newsletter, and half a page was devoted to promoting the idea. With the worst of the rainy season behind us, and calling it by its new name, maybe we’ll meet on the beach with litterbags in hand one day soon.

Elliot Lee finishes Tillamook golf career

By MIKE WEBER

For The Headlight Herald

Senior Elliot Lee capped an absolutely remarkable Tillamook High School boys golf career as he took fifth place with a medal winning individual performance at the OSAA OnPoint Community Credit Union Class

4A Boys Golf State Championship Tournament May 15-16 at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis.

Lee, the defending state champion, shot a two-round score of 145, finishing just four strokes behind 2023 champ Tyce Helmick of Ontario High School. The topfive golfers were separated

by just four strokes. Lee and Cheesemaker coach Johnny Begin were both hoping to win back-toback titles, but things just didn’t turn out the way they expected. Lee shot a three over par 74 on the course on Day 1, followed by his even par 71 on Day 2. “I’m so proud of Elliot and what he has accomplished as a golfer at Tillamook High School,” said Begin. “However, I am most proud of the young man he has become. He had a target on his back this season as the returning state champion and with three holes left on Day 2, he still had a chance to win back-to-back titles. We will miss his senior leadership

next year and I wish him a successful collegiate career at Valparaiso University.”

Lee earned an athletic scholarship to attend Valparaiso University, where he’ll continue his golf career while playing on the NCAA Division 1 VU Beacons men’s golf team in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Lee had an outstanding Tillamook High School golf career, which included winning the 2021 Class 4A boys golf Culminating Event Individual co-championship with Cole Beyer of Woodburn, as each had a one round score of 68. The event was not sponsored by the OSAA due to COVID-19.

Pirates ride three game win streak into baseball playoffs

By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

Competing in the Class 3A level for the first time ever has certainly proven to be a pleasant surprise for the Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates who qualified for a first-round playoff game in the OSAA OnPoint Community Credit Union Baseball State Championship Tournament.

The No. 7 ranked Pirates (13-3 league, 18-7 overall) will play a 4 p.m. home game Wednesday against the Mountain Valley Conference Champion and No. 10 ranked Sisters High Outlaws (14-4 league, 19-7 overall). If the Pirates win, they’ll advance to the May 26 quarterfinals. If they lose, their season is over.

The Pirates concluded the regular season with the momentum of a three-game win streak, including a 24-0 nonleague road win in an April 18 tune-up game over the Class 2A/1A Clatskanie High Tigers (13-9).

The Pirates, guided by Coach Rob Herder, jumped in front 4-0 in the first inning and then extended their advantage to 11-0 in the second. The Pirates maintained their momentum while

ELECTIONS

Races for two of Nestucca Valley School District’s seats were still in the balance following the initial results release and one became even closer with Thursday’s update as Best’s lead in the race for position 4 had been cut to a single vote over Sanders.

Meanwhile Wally Nelson’s advantage over Sherry Hartford in the race for position 2 had grown from 20 votes to 65. In the final race for Nestucca School Board, Joseph Boyd was on pace to retain his position, having received 44% of the vote in a three-way race.

Three incumbent members of the board of Tillamook Bay Community College looked set to hold off challenges, with Mary Jones having received 60% of the vote against Jonathan Whittles and Dwaine McClintock, Betsy McMahon having

scoring in every inning to pull away and end the game early in the fifth inning via the 10-run Mercy Rule. The 24 runs were a season-high for the Pirates.

“They (Tigers) had their best pitcher starting and he’s a hard throwing kid, but he only played two innings,” said Herder. “We were hoping to see a lot of him, because it would’ve been a good way to help us tune up for the playoffs. It was a good game and we played well offensively and it was kind of like the way we were playing earlier in the year. It was nice the way we recaptured some of our lost offensive capabilities.”

The Pirates pitching trio of sophomore Ethan Hanson, senior Parker Hopkins and senior Eddie Loza combined on the mound with a sterling performance in tossing a three-hitter, with six strikeouts and one walk.

“Clatskanie has a playoff game too and I’m sure this wasn’t a lot of fun for them,” said Herder. “It did give them a chance to swing their bats though and see some good pitching and play some defense prior to their playoff game.”

The Pirates ran wild on the basepath’s too as they had a total of seven steals, with ju-

High Seagulls (5-7 league, 11-13 overall) and the No. 16 ranked Astoria High Fishermen (5-7 league, 9-13 overall).

The St. Helens High Lions (3-9 league, 6-20 overall) created the logjam in the five-team league when they won 6-5 over the Seagulls (5-7 league, 11-13 overall) May 15 at Hillsboro Stadium. Seaside’s loss benefited the Cheesemakers (5-7 league, 9-12 overall) too as it helped improve their position in the OSAA rankings. Til-

“We have to stay focused on a budget that maintains existing services, and invests in housing, healthcare, good-

Neah-Kah-Nie capped their Special District 1 schedule with a 12-2 road win over the Catlin Gabel High Eagles (3-13 SD1, 4-16 overall) May 12 in Portland.

The Pirates scored three runs in the first and then added seven more in the third to build a 10-0 advantage. After the Eagles got two in the fourth to make it 10-2, the Pirates responded by scoring two in the fifth to end the contest early by the Mercy Rule.

Hanson and G-Keith combined for an outstanding pitching performance in tossing a one-hitter with eight strikeouts and two walks.

The Pirates 12-hit offense was led by G-Keith (3-for-4, three RBI), Allen (2-for4, two RBI) and Jacobee Wilkinson (2-for-3, RBI).

Jake was a light to everyone he encountered. His smile and laugh brought us all so much joy. As a child he was the class clown and never lost that silly, goofy side to him. He was very generous and never hesitated to jump right in and help a stranger out. He could make friends with anyone at any age with his old soul and kind demeanor.

He enjoyed many things

Jake will be deeply missed by so many people. He was a man of strong faith; his family finds some peace in knowing he is at rest and at peace in heaven. “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you” Philippians 1:3.

Due to all the lives Jake touched in such a short time the family has decided to hold a public memorial on his birthday, June 30th, 2023, at the Idaville grange at 2pm in Idaville, OR.

Sharon and Cameron Reeves would like to express our gratitude for all the kind words, cards, and offers of help in this time of loss. Memories of your kindness will last a long time. And, Steve will be in our hearts forever. Many thanks and God bless you all.

Betty Rose LortsRandall was born to Herbert A. and Edna Milton Robertson in Clarenton, Virginia on May 1, 1927, their only child. She passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of May 11, 2023 at age 96.

During World War II, she began working as a secretary at age sixteen while finishing high school. In recent years she would smile when remembering that she took a bus past the Pentagon daily and saw a platoon of women Marines marching to and from work. She laughed at the memory of her thoughts as a teenager, when she considered joining the Marines because she liked the women’s uniforms and how well they marched.

Just after the war, Betty came to visit a cousin in Oregon. She fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and moved here in her early 20s, raising her four children in Portland. She worked as a secretary at the US Bureau of Land Management, for the most part in Portland, and for the last several years in Den-

ver, Colorado. She retired in 1979, and has lived in Netarts, Oregon ever since. Her kids remember taking the train from Oregon to Virginia when all of them were a young swarm. Betty was nervous about the train’s stops at various cities across the country, fearing that one of the kids might decide to get off and she would lose them. But they survived the journey together and intact.

Betty loved bowling, which she began in her early teens and never stopped until recently. In her late 70s, she started to golf and continued playing with friends until she was 92 when the golf course closed. Her primary interest was taking care of her family: her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. She was a very sociable person, full of laughter and goodwill, enjoying people immensely, entertaining family and friends in her home, and getting out and about. Also, she loved working in her yard, which was always aglow with shrubs, flowers, and hanging planters. Every spring her bird houses were fully occupied with swooping, soaring families of swallows.

Betty is survived by daughters Donna (Bob, son in law) Buchanan of Damascus, Oregon, Susan Taylor of Cloverdale, Oregon, and son Bart Popham of Lincoln City. Her oldest son, Carl, passed away several years ago. Her family will hold a private gathering to honor and celebrate Betty’s life.

Hello my name is Marcel. I am a reserved 2 year old guy just waiting to come out of my shell. I love snacks (treats).

I love pets and when I get the courage to venture out of my bed you can find me pawing to be brushed. I dream of being brushed and my favorite pass time is to be brushed.

“You brush, I brush, we brush.”

When my human stops I roll on my tummy to show her I want to be brushed more.

I am not really food motivated, but as soon as I warm up to you I will be your best pal.

I was adopted but returned because I do best in a single cat household. Do you dream of brushing as well… then I am your man. I love to be close by and I excel at relaxing on your desk while you work. Pick me!!
