Cape Meares Loop Road on track for fall completion

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

Work on the new 1.7-mile section of Cape Meares Loop Road that will reconnect Cape Meares to Oceanside is around two thirds complete and on track to be completed by Halloween.

A recent site visit with Tillamook County Public Works Director

Chris Laity showed that the $22 million project will offer drivers stunning views while also bringing northern access to the Cape Meares Wildlife Refuge and completing the circuit of the Three Capes Scenic Route.

The original, failed alignment used for the road sits on a path constructed as a Crown Zellerbach logging road, on the west side of the ridge on Cape Meares, the right of way for which the county purchased from Stimson Lumber.

However, that alignment sits

on an active slide zone, shown on area maps as early as the late 19th century. In the 2000s and early 2010s the road suffered a series of landslides, which initially forced the county to twice reconfigure the road’s alignment before a final slide in 2013 led to the decision to abandon the west side of the ridge. The road was closed while work to find a less slide-prone alignment option began.

Laity said that the design phase began for the new alignment in 2015, leading to multiple rounds of

geotechnical surveys, planning and design. That phase cost $4 million and lasted until construction began in 2022.

The lion’s share of the project’s funding is coming from Federal Land Access Program grants administered by the Federal Lands Highway program of the Federal Highway Administration. Those grants are available to projects that open access to federal lands, in this case the Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge. The grants are contributing 90% of the funding for

the project, with the county putting up the remainder, and the highway administration is managing work at the site.

“If there wasn’t that federal wildlife refuge up on top of that cape, we wouldn’t have any federal money,” Laity said.

The new alignment will run from just north of the quarry on Bayshore Drive, over the east side of the ridge, and reconnect with Bayshore Drive on the north side of the cape.

Tillamook County Budget Committee Approves FY 24 Budget, Warns of Future Challenges

RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

The Tillamook County Budget Committee approved the FY 24 budget at their June 5 meeting, which included funding for all but one vacant position in departments’ budgets.

The committee reviewed a revised budget at Monday’s meeting after the original proposal was met with strong reactions from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and the public. The backlash prompted the committee to abandon its strategy of placing funding for unfilled county positions into the county’s Revenue Stabilization Fund.

During the June 5 meeting, Committee Chair Doug Olson stated that Committee Member Bill Baertlein had resigned shortly after the public hearing on the original budget proposal.

Changes incorporated in the revised budget included funding for all departments’ vacant positions, except for one in the Department of Community Development, which County Treasurer Shawn Blanchard said the department stated they did not need. Other changes included an $850,000 transfer from the building improvement fund to the general fund, remaining building improvement funds being obligated to FY 24 capital improvement projects, and $233,000 for a new septic system and $250,000 for a sprinkler system repair at the Sheriff’s Office.

The full funding of all vacant positions required the committee to remove a transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Revenue Stabilization Fund. Although acquiring the funds from vacant positions would have been a new strategy

for the county, an annual transfer from the General Fund to the Revenue Stabilization Fund has been standard practice. In each of the last three fiscal years, an average of $833,000 was transferred from the General Fund.

Blanchard said the budget as proposed would be “suitable for one year,” but to “keep a close eye on where we are heading.” She also expressed concern over the committee’s decision to transfer no funds to the Revenue Stabilization Fund, which the county has historically pulled from during low revenue years.

FY 24 will be the first time no funds have been transferred to the Revenue Stabilization Fund since FY 20, decreasing the fund’s total balance from the previous year for the first time since FY 17.

“Based on the requests made in the budget, our continued priority continues to be short-term gains over long-term stability,” Blanchard said. “A 10-year process of building a cash balance to ensure county facilities are suitable for current and future-mandated circuit court and general fund use has been reversed. A transfer to the revenue stabilization fund has been removed, making us less resistant to withstand timber or other revenue shortages in the future.”

Sheriff Provides Update on

Vacant Positions

The budget committee’s decision to not place funding for unfilled positions into the Revenue Stabilization Fund was strongly influenced by Tillamook County Sheriff Josh Brown. At the budget committee’s May 10 meeting, Brown detailed his concerns about the strategy, which would have moved funding for six vacant positions at the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Brown said this would have required him to get approval for recruitments, affected the employment status of candidates lined up for the vacant positions and impacted his already understaffed department.

A spokesperson from the union representing Tillamook sheriff deputies said that current staffing levels were threatening the safety of her union members, and that the union was considering filing a grievance. Members of the public reiterated Brown and the union’s concerns.

At the June 5 meeting, Sheriff Brown provided an update on the department’s hiring process. He said that if all goes well, the jail will be fully staffed by July 1.

“We have one very promising candidate in the academy right now, and we have two very promising candidates that have the expectation to start in the jail July 1, another

one on July 15, and another on August 1,” Sheriff Brown said. “By August 1st, if everything goes according to plan, the jail will be fully staffed.”

As far as patrol officers go, the sheriff said only 4 openings remain, despite no active recruitment efforts being made.

“We have another candidate for patrol, in addition to the one who just started on June 1, and that will leave four openings for patrol,” Sheriff Brown said. “Right now, because of where we’re at in the budget process and not knowing how many people will clear the background process, there is no active recruiting. As soon as we have some answers, we’re going to re-open them and fully expect that we’ll have interest in those as well.”

The four openings are all contract positions, with two for Rockaway Beach, one for the Marine Board, and one for the Oregon Department of Forestry. The four open positions bring the department down from 11 or 12 open positions at the beginning of the year. Committee Member Mike Scott commended the Sheriff for his department’s recruiting efforts, stressing that funding those open positions was “the right thing to do right now.”

“As a former Mayor of Manza-

nita, I know how important it is for elected officials and the community at large to support law enforcement,” Scott said. “I think it’s important to make these changes to the budget without eliminating [the Sheriff’s] positions. I feel the Sheriff’s department needs our full support in your efforts to fill out their ranks. I understand the long-term challenges to the budget, but I think this is an important thing to do right now because of the circumstances law-enforcement departments are in.”

Sheriff Brown also noted that the department’s retiree hires, who were hired back on to alleviate staffing issues, will “no longer be needed.”

Committee Members Discuss

Future of Budget

The only question left to be asked at the end of Monday’s meeting was where the county’s budget goes in future years. Most of the commissioner’s concerns centered around predicted decreases in timber revenue.

“You’re going to see the cost of doing business for the county increase,” Commissioner David Yamamoto said. “We’re currently predicting somewhere between a 24 to 32% decrease in timber revenue,

Third vote count released

The Tillamook County Clerk released a third tally of votes from the May 16 special district elections on June 8, showing that results shown in the second round of updates had remained consistent as late arriving ballots were counted. In the race for position four on Nestucca Valley

School District’s Board of Directors, the race remained tight, as Zachary Best increased his margin of victory from one vote to five in between the counts.

All other results were the same, with the Nehalem Bay Health District bond for new facilities receiving a vast majority of votes cast. The $10.25 million bond will be used in conjunction with fed-

eral 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. Final, certified election results must be delivered to the Oregon Secretary of State by June 12.

City Council Greenlights Phase 2 for New City Hall

RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

Manzanita City Council voted to greenlight phase 2 for the construction of a new city hall at their June 7 meeting, electing to finance the project through a special public works fund loan.

Manzanita City Hall was as packed as it’s ever been on Wednesday night, as residents piled in to hear whether city council would go forward with a project that’s been 30 years in the making.

Phase 2 of the project effectively allows design development for a newly constructed city hall building to begin immediately, followed by the creation of the construction documents, the construction contract and eventually construction.

the city manager’s report.

The third option was a $4 million special public works fund loan. With this financing option, the city is able to refinance at any time and will be reimbursed for what they don’t spend, according to the city manager’s report.

The motion to finance the construction of a new city hall building through a special public works fund loan passed, with all councilors voting yes except for Mayor Simmons, who voted no. Before voting on the motion, councilors took their time to explain their positions.

Stressing that the council had to make the ultimate decision, City Manager Leila Aman said she felt like there’s enough information to make a decision on whether to move the project forward.

“I feel like we’re at a place to make an informed decision on what to do next,” Aman said.

“I agree with the special public works fund financing. We heard plenty of testimony tonight and it was passionate, but it was only a fraction of the testimony we’ve heard,” Councilor Jerry Spregman said. “We’ve been getting emails from the public since February. Tonight’s voices added to voices that have been coming loud and clear since I’ve been on council. We have proceeded with much deliberation and caution on this project.”

at a $8.5 million investment cost. That is a lot of money, when the city has other needs as well. I just want this to be done. I want a city hall and I want the citizens to vote on it, so I would support the bond.”

Many citizens showed up to Wednesday night’s meeting to offer their two cents on the project.

James Markawat said the council should table the discussion to find a costeffective solution.

“I’m here to say that this council should table this for further discussion. There may be an alternate solution for the building of this City Hall that would be much more costeffective. As the taxpayer, I think all of us should demand that alternative,” Markawat said.

Another Manzanita resident advocated for moving to phase 2 and using the special public works fund option to finance.

“I’m abstaining. I’m a proponent of putting this to a vote for the citizens,” Mayor Simmons said.

The council was also tasked with choosing how to finance the project tagged at $5.79 million. The project will be funded through a variety of sources including grants, property sales and a $544,000 payment from the city’s general fund. But most of the funding will come through debt or bond financing options. These options included a general obligation bond, which would go out to the public for a vote, marked at $3.5-$4 million.

The second option was a $4 million full faith and credit loan. With this financing option, the city would be locked in for ten years and required to take out the full loan amount, according to

“Every step, we went to the community. Every step there was a presentation. Every step, we got feedback from the community, because that’s really important to hear,” Council President Linda Kozlowski added. “In the long run, I think we have an excellent project. I think it’s time to move forward. I’ve been working on this project for ten years and I think it’s the first time in those ten years that we have all the information we need to move forward. My vote is to start now and is to use the special public works fund.”

Despite the other two councilors also endorsing the special public works fund, Mayor Simmons said she still felt the decision on how to finance the project should be left up to the citizens, leaning towards the general obligation bond.

“When we are facing an investment of this size for the citizens, I think people have the right to vote,” Mayor Simmons said. “I can’t get around the fact that some of you feel that way, and some of you don’t. We’re looking

“Tonight, I join some of the other citizens that want to see our city’s place, our city’s hall, become a reality,” they said. “If we were to move forward today, we’d still spend almost as much as we would have with the 2019 bond measure, and we will have half the building. I appreciate that people weren’t ready then, but people are ready now. Most of us our looking toward our future and want to see a place where we can gather, a place where we can meet with our representatives, a place that represents Manzanita.”

Next steps involve applying for the special public works fund loan and beginning design development. After that, the city will have a contractor do another estimate and will work with them to agree on the $5.79 million price. Once that’s agreed upon, city council will be asked to authorize the guaranteed maximum price, and then construction will begin. City Manager Aman says she doesn’t believe the council will have to vote on the guaranteed maximum price until November or December.

STAFF REPORT

Country Media, Inc.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will host 16 public open houses with communities in Northern California and Oregon this June to gather input on the potential reintroduction of sea otters to their historical range.

The open houses will provide communities and stakeholders an opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives and speak with Service staff about sea otters and next steps in recovery efforts including the potential reintroduction process – should a proposal move forward.

The southern sea otter, one of three subspecies of sea otter, is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. As directed by Congress, the Service assessed reintroduction feasibility in 2022.The assessment concluded that reintroduction was biologically feasible and may have significant benefits for a variety of species in

the marine ecosystem and expedite the recovery of the threatened southern sea otter.

The assessment also concluded that additional information about how reintroduction would affect stakeholders and local communities was needed before considering the next steps. There is no active proposal to reintroduce sea otters at this time.

The open houses will help the Service gather further information to inform next steps. As the Service considers the possibility of reintroduction, we recognize that community values and issues are critical in this process. Input from the public and key stakeholders, including ocean users, will be a foundational component in establishing next steps including whether or not a potential reintroduction is proposed, as well as ensuring that proposals are crafted in a way that benefits stakeholders and local communities.

The Service aims to be inclusive, thoughtful, and

The easiest way to make worm tea is to steep the vermicompost (again, without worms) overnight in a large container of water. Add about ¼ cup per gallon of water, straining the vermicompost by pouring the mixture through a fine sieve or filter. Even easier is to add ¼ cup of vermicompost into a paper coffee filter and tie it closed with some twine. Place that

hole in the earth when transplanting annuals or perennials. They can also be mixed in with potting soil for an extra boost of nutrients when planting pots or hanging baskets.

My mother was due to fly in from Chicago in 36 hours. The anxiety was real. So, Katie grabbed her keys and made a trip over to Under the Big G to check out the Country Squire Kitchen cart for some much-needed takeout.

All the truck carts are on our radar, but we’ve made Country Squire Kitchen a point because we met the co-owners, Patrick & Amanda King, during their full-time days at Garibaldi Portside Bistro.

Patrick was Le Cordon Bleu trained and spent some time honing his skill at Wanda’s Café. Amanda’s baking skills are second to none and her desserts have successfully broken my diet on multiple occasions.

We tried a couple of their wraps: the chicken melt and the pork melt. Katie and I split them, to try them both. They each went down smooth, tasting much more like a plated dish than a sandwich.

home to her husband. Good times. We were playing canasta on a quiet afternoon at our house when the lights went out. June 5 seemed an odd date for a power outage, but we suspected that the big winds we had been experiencing (gusts up to 30 mph) had blown down a tree on Bayocean Road. This was soon confirmed with a text from a neighbor whose vehicle was stuck on the east side of the blockage. We also heard about a neighbor stuck on the west end. The tree had fallen about a mile east of the dike road and had taken down power lines with it. A PUD truck arrived quickly and work with a chainsaw began. The road was soon cleared, and power was restored in about an hour and a half. We are so fortunate for the ever speedy and compe-

tent responses from Tillamook PUD; many thanks!

We were saddened to learn of the death of Elna Persons on May 13, 2023, at the age of 84. She and her surviving spouse, Dick, have been fixtures in Cape Meares for many years. They were often spotted walking along Bayocean Road in their reflective vests, but Capt. Pete and I also saw them out salmon fishing in Tillamook Bay and ran across them razor clamming out by the south jetty. Elna always had a smile on her face and an upbeat attitude. Cape Meares as a community extends sincere condolences to Dick and the entire Persons family.

Don’t forget to tune in to the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW’s) webinar June 14 at 6 p.m. to hear the outlook and potential fishing regulations for 2023 in-river fall Chinook and coho fisheries along Oregon’s coast (https://myodfw. com/articles/fall-coastalsalmon-management). There will also be an in-person meeting to discuss North Coast fisheries only on June 15 at 6 p.m. at ODFW’s Tillamook office, 4907 Third St. Final fall salmon fishing regulations will be adopted and announced in early July.

Summer can be a hungry season for local school children who don’t have school breakfasts or lunches to rely on as they do during the school year.

In the next couple weeks, the steering committee for the forthcoming proposed fire district is expected to announce its adopted name, among other things. The name came from a unique process that was ultimately voted on by the fire volunteers from the proposed district areas. The volunteers submitted nominations to Garibaldi Fire & Rescue Division Chief Paulsen, who grouped them into 15 nominations. From there, the volunteers voted for the three finalists. Then, a final vote to determine the winner.

Division Chief Paulsen also has a couple updates for Garibaldi residents that will be published here in the next couple weeks. Check back here to this paper for more information.

Lastly, the Planning Commission is scheduling a couple

hearings for this summer

The first one appears to be a requested amendment to a conditional use permit, which is targeted for July. “Don’t you know such things, Chair Finn?” Well, I try to keep away from as much ex-parte contact as I can, so I can wait for the staff report like the rest of the commission. And things always change. Waiting for the finished document is usually the smartest play.

The other hearings will be some legislation, clearing up some loopholes and working to create a little more density in the Commercial and Downtown zones. It’ll be the first time since I’ve been on the Commission (currently the longest tenured member) that we’ve done such a thing.

It has been so long, that I was relieved when Councilor Terry Kandle noted the Planning Commissions back in the day even did such thing. It will be a new adventure, but one this council, mostly of new members, appears ready to tackle. If we don’t, Judith Parker might come back and kick my tail (we miss you, Bulldog).

GUEST COLUMN: SAVE HANGAR ‘B’

FRIENDS OF TILLAMOOK AIR MUSEUM

Ihave told you all the stories of our amazing hangar from start to finish, the reason why, where, when and who. The US Navy created 17 hangars along the coast lines of the United States to protect us from the enemy subs and to keep our ships safe. These buildings were built with box beams, steel and concrete and considered to be a wood structure. We had a railroad at that time and Fay Simmons told me that a lot of the materials came in on freight trains. This is the only World War II Hangar still in service to the public. Isn’t that enough to want to maintain Hangar ‘B’ as good as it can be at 80 years old?

So, l’ll tell you about us, the Friends of the Tillamook Air Museum and what we do. The Port of Tillamook Bay Board created a 501 (c) 3 organization with our goal to find the money to make repairs and to continue maintenance in all the years

to come. Friends of Tillamook Air Museum (FOTAM) members are: Gene Kyniston, President; Jack DeSwart, Vice President; Ann Richards, Joint Treasurer; Carolyn Decker, Joint Tresurer; Marc Peaslee, Member; Dallas Adams, Member; Sayde Walker, Acting Secretary; Matt Mumford, POTB Member; Kevin Stocker, POTB Menber; Rita Welch,POTB Museum director. And we have volunteers. To receive large grants, we need to have at least 13 Board Members. Our job is to educate the public and get the word out to our state representatives. Grant writers are important to us. Julie Hurliman is doing an excellent job for us. It is up to us to go to our friends, business owners, organizations, the county and city asking for sponsors for Hangar ‘B’s 80th anniversary.

The six of us went to at least 35 plus contacts asking for sponsorship. I appreciate every one of these organizations, friends, family and those we don/t know. Our community is very generous

and giving.

Those days after the fair, we will all be very busy working on preparing the Hangar for the party, setting up the silent auction and the free day for friends and families. Invite anyone that would like to help, call me. We wil be in the June dairy parade, Saturday Market, on TV, and radio. Being a part of the preparations is rewarding in many ways. The free fun and games in the afternoon live music and hoping for flyovers and food vendors. Free afternoon events 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. Save some of your energy for the evening, enjoy silent auction, banquet and dancing to live music.

How much do you care?

Will you help? Would you like to be a Board member, volunteer, idea person, stories about the hanger, etc. You can become a supporter of Hangar ‘B’ when you contribute your goods and or Services. Call Carolyn Decker 503-801-0935; Gene Kyniston 971-331-6963

Plans are well under way for the 2023 Fourth of July celebrations here in Rockaway Beach. With the theme “Small Town America,” the Fourth includes the parade, fireworks in the evening, and a few new twists on our 80-year tradition.

If you like to be part of the show, there are several ways to get involved. First, applications remain open for the parade. There are seven categories: Float, BIG Trucks, Automobile, Bicycle, Band/ Drill Team, Walking, and Equestrian. And if you’re the kind of person who plays by your own rules, there’s an other category where you can celebrate independence by doing your own thing.

The parade route will be much as in years past, beginning at the district office on North 3rd and passing the main business district on Highway 101. One way you can get involved: help lay out the parade route, setting up barriers on the side streets and working the parade’s path through town. Additionally, volunteers are needed at the Wayside as well.

You can also participate without leaving your home or place of business. This year’s celebrations include our Porch Parade. Decorate your home, windows, yard, or business with festive Americana, and let the organizers know. There’ll be awards for the best residence and the best business. For more information about participating as a volunteer, a parade entry, or entering your home or business in the Porch Parade, contact Laura Schmidt at (503) 6066094, or by email at oregoncoasteventco@gmail.com.

Spectators will have a wealth of fun activities. If you’re just interested in watching the parade, set yourself up at your favorite spot before 11 a.m. when the parade starts. The chamber of commerce has arranged for 300 flags to be handed out at the Caboose, so stop there first (the earlier the better) and have something to wave as your friends and neighbors roll, walk, or dance past.

And in a new twist, the parade features three Grand Marshals this year: Terry Walhood, Ronnie Duckworth, and the Rockaway Roastery. In addition, the 2023 Rockaway Beach Volunteer of the Year, Sandi Johnson, will be riding along with the celebrants.

Between the parade and the fireworks, don’t forget the Firecracker 500, our annual Wiener Dog Race. Our

Our own little guy absolutely refused to run when we entered him a few years ago. We had to carry him halfway down the field at the urging of the announcers, and even then, he ran to the woman next to his momma out of sheer petulance. The races start at noon in Phyllis Baker City Park, just north of N 3rd street between Coral and Falcon.

You might want to take advantage of another feature of this year’s Fourth: the chamber of commerce has arranged for a trolley to take us back and forth between the events and businesses in town. The list of stops is still

The weekend is also a busy time for other groups. Saturday, July 1, Meals for Seniors will hold a French Toast Breakfast in the dining hall of St Mary by the Sea, 275 S. Pacific. This will be their first breakfast since the kitchen remodel, so stop by and take a look. As always, French toast is served with scrambled eggs, sausage, berry compote and syrup. All donations go to support our Meals for Seniors program.

And on Monday, July 3, the Friends of the Rockaway Beach Library will hold our annual Used Book Sale at the library, 120 N Coral Street. Paperbacks are $1, hardbacks are $2, and you can buy five of either for the price of four. It’s a great way to stock up on beach reads for the summer, and all proceeds go to maintain the library building.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires…….Being prepared makes a difference

Local, grass root emergency volunteer groups across Tillamook County are working to teach residents how to prepare themselves and their communities for natural disasters. These groups meet regularly and all residents and even visitors are strongly encouraged to get engaged in your local efforts. Be prepared, not scared!

Tillamook County Emergency Manager Randy Thorpe and Don Backman, President of the Bay City Emergency Volunteers, are leading the coordination of all these grass root groups for a County-wide effort at emergency preparedness, called the TC4. TC4 is the name of the Tillamook County Citizens’ Corps Council. These groups are actively planning and organizing communication protocols, emergency supplies, information, sanitation and other efforts.

TC4 has held two meetings this spring in Bay City to get organized after a hiatus of several years due to the pandemic. The group will begin a monthly meeting schedule in Bay City starting in June and are working together and with Tillamook County on addressing some of the challenges residents will face in disasters that are very likely to include large numbers of refugees (displaced visitors).

One of the most important steps residents can take is to prepare for emergencies lasting a minimum of two

weeks, that means two weeks without access to a store to buy food, without power, possibly even without drinkable water. This is called two weeks ready. Many people may want to prepare for longer periods. Another important step is to reach out to neighbors to discuss ways the neighborhood can help one another. During serious disasters, neighbors help neighbors, and this works better when neighbors have prepared in advance. Emergency services are overwhelmed and unable to meet the need. This is called Plan Your Neighborhood, and your community’s Emergency Volunteer Group may have information to help with this. If your community does not have a volunteer group, then one should be started.

The groups include:

• Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay,

• City of Rockaway Beach,

• Nedonna,

• Bay City Emergency Volunteers,

• Oceanside,

• Cape Meares,

• South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps. For more information on how to contact your local organization please contact Randy Thorpe, Tillamook County Emergency manager, local fire agency or your local city hall how to contact your nearby group.

FY 24 BUDGET CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 although that’s not immediate. We’re also spending a lot of our reserves, which could be a problem in the future.”

Committee Chair Doug Olson echoed Commissioner Yamamoto’s concerns over falling timber revenue.

“Three and five years out, I’d start to worry a bit, particularly when that forest revenue starts to go away. Because that’s been a large part of the general fund for a very long time,” Olson said.

Commissioner Mary Faith Bell stressed a long road ahead for the county but remained optimistic.

“I think we have work to do in the next year about prioritizing if in fact we have to make cuts,” Commissioner Bell said. “Maybe it’ll be through a hiring freeze. I think we have yet to do the work to decide how [those cuts] will happen. Hopefully it won’t be necessary. And it’s entirely possible that we’ll have more revenue than we’re anticipating.”

Commissioner Erin Skaar discussed the false environment that Covid created through all the funding it afforded the county, and that before those funds had arrived, revenue shortfalls were already issues on the county’s radar.

Commissioner Skaar also issued an apology regarding the way the proposed budget strategy to transfer funding for six Sheriff’s Office positions to the Revenue Stabilization Fund was initially interpreted.

“I am very sorry that the

conversation turned to an unintended conversation on being for or against law enforcement. That never was the conversation,” Commissioner Skaar said. “I apologize for any part I played in having that conversation generated. It was extremely detrimental to this process, and I think [detrimental] to relationships in the community.”

After the original budget was proposed last month, Sheriff Brown had taken to Facebook to voice his concerns, citing Skaar and Blanchard as the proposal’s architects. Unfortunately, conversations in the post’s comments section turned to whether the budget committee was trying to defund the police.

“Defunding the police didn’t work for Portland… what in the hell make[s] them think it will work here?” One Facebook user said.

Under the original budget proposal, the Sheriff’s vacant positions wouldn’t technically have been defunded. Instead, funds would have been transferred to the Revenue Stabilization Fund and required approval from the budget committee to be transferred back to the department for the positions.

The Tillamook County Budget Committee voted to unanimously approve the FY 24 budget, sending it to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption. The committee also unanimously approved a number of tax levies.

Tillamook High Junior qualifies for national motocross championships

By MIKE WEBER

For The Headlight Herald

Tillamook High School junior Timber Blanchard achieved the biggest milestone of his motorsports career as he took third place in the American Motorcyclist Association Northwest Amateur Regional qualifying races May 26-28 at Washougal Motocross Park in Washougal, Washington.

Blanchard, 16, rode his AB Repair/Fallon Logging sponsored KTM 125cc motorcycle in the 125 C Class while competing in a group of 32 riders that are considered as some of the best on West Coast. A total of over 400 riders in various age groups competed in 18 different classifications at the regional, which is one of the Northwest’s premier motocross events of the year.

The top four of finishers in the race qualified for the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships July 31-Aug 5 at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. That prestigious event will certainly be extra special for Blanchard too since he’ll celebrate his 17th birthday July 30.

Blanchard had a fantastic performance while riding his motorcycle in two four-lap

moto events on the 1.5-mile hillside track, which includes steep downhill sections, numerous jumps where riders get airborne and sharp hairpin turns.

Riders from six states and one from Canada competed with Blanchard in the race, while they were each hoping to achieve their goal and qualify for nationals. For Timber, it marked the sixth year that he tried to qualify for nationals, but he fell just short the previous five years.

Blanchard started competing at age four when his dad Aaron instructed him on how to ride a Honda 50cc motocross dirt bike that his older sister Grace, 22, was also riding. Timber followed in the footsteps of Grace and Aaron, who also competed in motocross races.

Aaron, 51, competed in races every week from 1987-1991 in the Wylder Promotions Thursday Night Motocross Series at Portland International Raceway (PIR).

Aaron and his wife Shawn took Timber to PIR for his first competitive race at age nine. Their family enjoyed it tremendously and Timber has been competing in races at PIR every Thursday for the last eight years.

“It’s huge for anybody to qualify for Loretta Lynn Nationals,” said Aaron Blanchard, owner of AB Repair in Tillamook. “With

riders trying to qualify from 50 states and only the top four from regionals make it, that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment. It has been a dream of his for a long time, but it was always out of reach. We knew he had a good chance this year, but actually getting it done was above our expectations. Timber was just thrilled to make it and it was a pretty exciting weekend for all of us. Going to nationals is the goal for everyone that competes in motocross.”

Timber Blanchard has several sponsors that help support him in his motocross racing career, including JMR Suspensioin, Dunlop Tires and Don G. Averill Trucking in Tillamook. In addition to racing at PIR and Washougal, Timber also races at a motocross facility in Woodland, Washington.

“Competing at this level sometimes makes it tough to find sponsorship,” said Aaron Blanchard. “The majority of our sponsors are local people who have helped us out a lot.”

Timber is also a member of the Tillamook High School Drag Racing Club under the direction of Coach Johnny Begin. The group includes 2023 Tillamook High graduates Ethan Obrist, Seth Landolt, senior Landen Manley, juniors Cody Hoffert and Jaxsen Eggert and

sophomore Seth Ellerbroek. Timber competed in the first race May 20 and drove the club’s 2000 Chevrolet Camaro at a speed of 126 miles per hour, while timing it a 11.3 seconds on the quartermile drage strip. The drag racers will compete in their next race June 16.

THS Drag Racing members who volunteer once a week to help the young racers include Roy Ellerbroek from E & E Auto Body in Tillamook and Tyson Price from SR Repair in Tillamook. Ellerbroek and Price help guide the students with the skills necessary to build a safe and reliable race car. The kids learn hands on skills while getting experience in welding and metal fabrication. The Camaro includes a total of over 28 local area sponsors.

County Commissioners Talk Future of Property Tax Foreclosures, Raise Building Permit Fees

RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

The Tillamook County Board of County Commissioners discussed how a Supreme Court decision on property tax foreclosures would affect the city at their June 7 meeting, while also opting to raise building permit fees.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin that when a local government takes a home through a property tax foreclosure and keeps the homeowner’s equity after the outstanding taxes have been paid, they are violating the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Takings Clause states that “private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

Tillamook County Counsel William Sargent said the ruling will likely create all kinds of procedural problems for states that have a foreclosure process like Oregon.

“Bottom line is, Oregon, like twelve other states, has a foreclosure process that says if you don’t pay your taxes after being given two years to do so, [the property] is sold,” Counsel Sargent said. “Heretofore, we have kept the proceeds, although they are dispersed according to a statute. Here, the Supreme Court said that’s a taking. If there’s an excess after the property is sold, [cities] can’t keep that excess. It has to be returned somehow to the taxpayer, which of course creates all kinds of procedural problems.”

One of the commissioners’ key concerns was how this would affect foreclosed properties that have hazardous materials present. When the county takes control of these properties, they are required to dispose of those materials, which can be costly.

“I think one of the key pieces is that some of the properties that we take in foreclosure proceedings may have cleanup that’s required on them,” Commissioner Erin Skaar said. “And then there’s also just the time it takes to put them through the sale process. Proceeds were previously allowed to cover those costs in moving those properties.”

Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said she is also unsure how the county will deal with those types of properties.

“It’s fascinating because as I was reading it, I thought, ‘Oh, some of these properties are going to lie foul.’

Because I don’t know how we can afford to do what we do when this process takes a lot of staff time. If we can’t recoup our costs for any of that, I don’t know if we’ll be able to do it, Bell said.

Sargent said he didn’t believe the ruling would affect the property tax foreclosure list – which the county is required to publish every fiscal year – for this year. He also noted that there may be a legislative fix allowing governments to cover their

costs.

“There’s been a recent supreme court case that’s going to affect foreclosures,” Counsel Sargent said. “The preliminary thinking is that we’re going to proceed as normal on the end of it where it becomes time to take title to those people who don’t redeem; Business as unusual at least on this tax foreclosure list.”

Board Raises Building Permit Fees

The Tillamook County Board of County Commissioners also approved an order to raise building permit fees for the Building Division of the Department of Community Development. The Building Division, which is fully supported by building permit fees, stated that their fees had not been updated in 10 years, prompting the decision to raise them.

Julia Silveira, a certified permit technician for Tillamook County, said that changes include a minimum permit fee and higher plumbing and mechanical permit fees.

“We have raised our plumbing up to $130 as the base fee, as it’s usually not easy to get plumbing inspectors,” Silveira said. “And we created a base fee at $100

where there wasn’t a minimum permit fee previously. The mechanical has gone up to $103 from $65.”

Tillamook County Assistant Building Official Brian Blalock said the Building Division looked at the fees in surrounding counties before deciding to raise Tillamook’s fees.

“What we did is we discussed with the building codes division to give us the fee schedules of some surrounding counties,” Blalock said. “We lined up the different counties with the different fees. We averaged it out to come up with what we thought was appropriate with the other jurisdictions that are around, who have apparently been increasing their fees. We also looked at travel time and the total cost of the inspection.”

Both commissioners present agreed that the county was well overdue for updating their building permit fees.

“Ten years, as you said, is a long time to go without an update,” Bell said. “I think it’s also important that people understand that the Department of Community Development, as you said, doesn’t have another revenue source. It’s a general fund department.”

Skaar noted that the raise was necessitated by the nature of the work.

“Not having done this for ten years, it’s time to do this,” Skaar added. “This is a division that has to be self-supporting. We don’t put general fund tax revenue in here. It is a pat for what you receive type of department, and in order for that to work, we do have to charge for what it costs to do the work.”

The Department of Community Development said they plan to disseminate the updated fee schedule in a number of ways. In addition to hanging signs in their office, the department will also reach out to local contractors and send out a notice in the mail. The Building Division also sends out a public notice for the fee schedule to their listserv of everyone with a public license.

A full list of the building permit fees can be found in the supporting documents section on the Board of County Commissioner’s webpage for the June 7 meeting. The new fee schedule will go into effect July 15.

Tillamook PUD Inspection and Treatment of Wood Power Poles Program

June 1, 2023 - Tillamook PUD has contracted with National Wood Treating Co. to perform detailed inspections and treatments on 2,212 wood power poles throughout the Tillamook PUD electric system.

The power poles scheduled for inspection are located in central Tillamook County, including locations around Eckloff Road, Whiskey Creek, Netarts, and Cape Meares.

During inspections, it may be occasionally necessary at some locations for a National Wood Treating Co. contractor to cross private property to access poles that are located within Tillamook PUD’s easements and rights-of-way.

The process of pole

inspections and treatments is essential to Tillamook PUD’s system safety program. This program enhances public safety, reduces long-term operating costs, and lessens the occurrence of unexpected power outages. During inspections, each pole will be visually inspected, sounded with a hammer, and holes will be bored to determine if the pole is decayed. Some poles may need to be replaced; all other poles will be treated.

To treat power poles Tillamook PUD utilizes SmartFume, a modern system designed to stop and prevent internal decay. With SmartFume technology, a sealed capsule of fumigants is placed

in a bored hole on the power pole and is then plugged with a plastic dowel. This process reduces fumigant exposure to the applicant and allows for a sustained release of treatment over time. Unlike other types of fumigant treatments, SmartFume works immediately and bonds to the wood to increase the longevity of the pole.

SmartFume fumigants are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and National Wood Treating Co. contractors are licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture for the commercial application of pesticides.

Inspection activities have begun and will continue over the next several months until October 2023.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner with friends. Fitness and wellness classes. Day trips. Learning new hobbies and skills. Happy hours. Movie nights. At Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers, that’s a day in the life for many of our residents. It’s not enough to just meet basic needs, we strive to create days filled with memorable events in a social setting. Is it fun? Of course. But there are a variety of reasons why keeping a full social calendar is beneficial to older adults:

• Keeps The Body Active While fitness classes play a big role in keeping older adults healthy, staying busy is a great complement to that work. From gardening to walking clubs to just moving around a community from one activity to another helps keep muscles and bones strong, which helps prevent

falling. It’s also good for cardiovascular health, fending off illnesses and improving sleep.

• Keeps The Mind Active Staying active can help maintain and even strengthen cognitive health. It can be particularly helpful when trying new activities, which challenge the brain. It’s why at our community our events have such great variety – not only is there something for everyone, but also stimulates brain health.

• Good For Mental Health

Many older adults who live alone at home suffer from loneliness and isolation, which can be incredibly detrimental to mental health. By being in a community and joining with others in activities, it builds friendships. Furthermore, many older adults struggle to find meaning – keeping busy by engaging in old hobbies and

discovering new ones can bring joy and purpose.

At Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers, our residents enjoy all of those benefits as our team creates memorable, fun occasions every day.

We Are Nacho Grandma’s Nursing Home Come experience the fun we have here as we host a fun fiesta on Wednesday, June 21 from 2 – 4 p.m. We’ll have food, music and fun, and you’ll also be able to tour our community, meet our team and learn more about our programming. For more information about our programming, our community or our current move-in special, call us at (503) 842-0918 or visit us online at prestigecare.com/ FiveRivers.

CAPE MEARES LOOP

Easements for the road were purchased from the Oceanside Water District, Stimson Lumber and Green Crow Logging, which has recently sold its land to Olympic Peninsula LLC, with the easement transferring.

Work commenced last spring, and in its first year entailed moving tons of dirt, constructing several retaining walls and doing grading and other preparatory work at the site. Logging companies had previously harvested the tim-

ber in the area, but Laity says that 280,000 cubic yards of dirt needed to be excavated to prepare for the road (one cubic yard is roughly the size of a washing machine). Luckily, Green Crow agreed to have the excavated dirt redeposited on their property adjacent to the construction, removing the need for large trucks to use county roads last summer.

As of late May, crews were nearing completion on the portion of the road accessed from the south side of

nia State University. That union produced a son, Jerry Jr., and ended with the death of his spouse. Jerry worked as an engineer with Fleur Corporation in Southern California and did projects in Alaska, Salt Lake City and South Africa. He worked as a contractor, independently, and with his father. In 2004, while planning a 50ht class reunion for their high school, he and classmate, Auda, renewed an old friendship, and married in 2005. Surviving are his spouse, Auda, two sons, Wally and Jerry, two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. A memorial will be held in August with friends and family.

HENRY RALPH (HANK) BERRINGER of Cloverdale, Oregon, age 74, passed away peacefully during the early morning hours of June 4, 2023, with close family members at his bedside in Waseca, Minnesota, after a two-year courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada, a son of the late William Horace and Florence Ann Marie (Horsford) Berringer. He was united in marriage to Barbara Fostveit. Hank earned his master’s degree in psychology from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND. He worked as a business consultant at O.A.S.I.S for 25 years prior to his retirement. He was a very nomadic person who loved traveling, moving around and investing in real estate. With his great sense of humor, he wanted his headstone to read,

“He was a saint”. He is survived by his wife, Barbara of Cloverdale, OR; four children: Allison Ann (Sean) Harding of Portland, OR, Tracy Marie (Will) Hayes of Corbett, OR, Andrew William (Emiley) Berringer of Denton, TX and George Tait Berringer of Cloverdale; three grandchildren: Beckett Harding of Portland, Dutch Hayes and Berlin Hayes both of Corbett; mother-in-law Donna Fostveit of Waseca; brother-in-law Bobb (Cindi) Fostveit of Lincoln City, OR; sister-in-law Bonnie (Rich) Lucas of Zimmerman, MN; close cousins who Hank thought of as brothers: Mark Horsford and Gregory Horsford of Ontario, Canada; and his very close friends: Al Franks of Hilo, Hawaii, Martin Hemens of Pacific City, OR, Ben Johnson of Pacific City, OR, and Art Schunk of Chippewa Falls, WI. In honoring his wishes, he will be cremated, and celebrations of life will be organized at later dates. The burial will be in the Woodville Cemetery, Waseca, Minnesota.

Donations to benefit Hank’s grandson can be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – Great Strides Oregon Beckett’s Team. The following links provide a way to donate.

the project near Oceanside. They have almost completely constructed two 40-foot retaining walls on the slope and have graded and laid the roadbed for a good portion of the road on that side of the cape.

They are also nearing completion on the construction of a 40-foot-tall section of geofoam fill that will connect the south part of the project with the north. On the north side, more work remains to be done on the shorter section of road, but

prep work is under way. This summer, crews will be accessing the southern portion of road via the old road on the west side of the cape, moving heavy equipment over that stretch on a regular basis.

Laity said the public works department has installed a sign at the gated entrance to the road by the entrance to the Cape Meares refuge to warn hikers not to use the road. He emphasized that it would not be safe to walk on the disused road

with the heavy equipment and recommended using a trail at the refuge that offers similar views but is more strenuous. The new 1.7-mile section of road will traverse exceedingly steep slopes, with grades maxing out at 12% and several switchbacks, even after the extensive excavations that have taken place. A scenic pullout is being constructed on the north side of the ridge looking south towards the Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife refuge.

Laity said that he expects the new road to pull cyclists from Highway 101 and that they will be challenged by the climb but rewarded by the commanding views from the top.

Laity said that the project’s construction phase is on track to remain within its $18 million budget and meet the projected finishing date of October 31, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the first week of November.

Help is Here!

Use this service to help veterans who served to protect our freedom to ask and receive. There are hundreds of vets looking for work—carpenters, plumbers, tree trimmers, etc. trained in special fields that the everyday person needs help with, but are not sure who to contact. They are good men who want to work but life’s problems slowed them down. Help is here for your needs at very reasonable prices with great work done.

This is not an ad, but a reference letting our community know what can be done if one just asks given by a longtime home owner in Tillamook County. These veterans are safe and proud to help again. Call for information: Veterans Repair Solutions Inc, (503) 457-5450.
