Headlight Editor

County commissioners, state representatives and senators and staff members from their offices and various organizations traveled to Tillamook and Clatsop Counties for a tour of a dairy, fish hatchery and several forestry sites on June 8 and 9. The tour was hosted jointly by the Tillamook Working Lands and Waters Cooperative (TWLWC) and Clatsop Forestry and Wood Products Economic Development Committee (CFWPEDC) as part of an ongoing effort to raise awareness of the counties’ natural resource industries. The tours focused on the environmental stewardship practiced by each of the three industries, as well as their importance to the local economies.

The first day began at the Officers Mess at the Port of Tillamook Bay with introductions and an overview of the day’s tour. More than a dozen county commissioners from as far afield as Crook County

Cape Lookout construction, closure to begin July 6

Will Chappell Headlight Editor

Following a yearlong delay, a $6 million project to upgrade facilities at Cape Lookout State Park is set to begin July 6, necessitating a closure of the park for six to eight months.

The upgrades will include a major reconfiguration and resurfacing of the park’s day-use parking area, a waterline replacement for two of the park’s four campsite loops and repairs to the revetment that protects the other two campsite loops from high tides and winter storms.

Jason Elkins, Cape Lookout State Park manager, recently took the Headlight Herald on a tour and discussed the projects that will be undertaken.

Funding for the work comes courtesy of a $50-million general obligation bond approved by the state legislature in 2021 to fund needed work at park across the state. Originally, Cape Lookout staff were hoping to take the opportunity to close two of the park’s campsite loops that are adjacent to the beach and replace them with new loops east of the park’s entry road, due to flooding concerns. However, Elkins said that when staff began looking at that project, they found that with inflation that had occurred during the Covid pandemic, the project, which would include a new entrance road and fee booth, could not be supported by the available funding. That forced a pivot to the less expensive items, though Elkins said

Commissioners to pull DA’s stipend

Will Chappell Headlight Editor

Tillamook

County’s board of commissioners discussed the legal situation currently playing out between the county and District Attorney Aubrey Olson at their board briefing on June 10, agreeing that they would discontinue a county stipend of just over $20,000 a year for Olson beginning July 1.

All three commissioners expressed dismay at Olson’s response to an investigation into her office, saying that they had hoped she would work with the county to address issues it identified and been taken aback by her attempts to retaliate against those who participated in the investigation through legal processes.

Commissioners also clarified that they did not want county funds used to pay for a criminal defense attorney to represent the state in two cases in which Olson sought subpoenas for information on people involved in the investigation as part those attempts at retaliation. That decision led the defense attorney who had been slated to represent the state in the matter, Michael De Muniz, to file motions to vacate the two subpoena requests the day after the briefing.

Commissioners repeatedly voiced concern for the victims of crimes in the county not receiving justice at the briefing and agreed that they would take a vote on a resolution of no confidence in Olson at their next meeting to formalize their dissatisfaction with her performance.

“In my opinion, there’s a right side and a wrong side on this issue,” Commissioner Paul Fournier said. “Either you’re for victims or you’re not.”

The meeting began with County Counsel Bryan Libel reviewing the saga that has led to this point, which began last fall when commissioners initiated an investigation into Olson’s office after the county’s human resources (HR) department received multiple complaints about office staff, who are county employees. That investigation, which was completed in February, found a lack of competency in court proceedings, failure to consider the safety of victims of crimes, especially those related to sexual assault or domestic violence, inadequate training and supervision by Olson and a pattern of poor relationships with law enforcement and other community partner agencies.

Olson began fighting back against the report even before it was completed, initially serving the county with a notice of intent to file a tort claim in February, before pivoting to issuing several subpoenas in April targeting information on the whistleblower, a deputy in the sheriff’s office whose complaints spurred the investigation, and Sheriff Josh Brown. Libel said that the county was contesting these subpoenas, arguing that they are unrelated to criminal cases and instead seeking to retaliate against the whistleblower, and Brown for participating in the investigation. Since obtaining the subpoenas, Olson has recused herself from the cases and retained De Muniz, a criminal defense attorney, to represent the state at hearings on motions to quash the subpoenas set for June 16.

Libel said that in addition to the legal machinations, a defense

relocating the loops was still a goal for park staff should more funding becomes available.

Work will now focus on several less expensive projects, the most visible of which will be an overhaul to the park’s 300-stall, day-use parking lot. The lot will see a major reconfiguration, with a new vault toilet added, all facilities, restrooms and pay stations, made accessible to those with disabilities and new bioswales installed to filter runoff from the parking lot, while maintaining the same capacity and being repaved. Additionally, a full waterline replacement and undergrounding of power lines will occur in the C and D loops in the park’s campground section, along with a repaving of D loop. The man-made dune that was constructed around 2000 to protect the A and B loops in the campground from storm and tidal surge will also see rehabilitation, with its base repaired and cobblestones replaced on top to slow erosion, a task that needs to

be completed every five to seven years. Park staff will also be taking advantage of the closure to do several large maintenance projects, including remodeling several restrooms and adding tsunami evacuation trails

from the C and D loops to the park’s main road.

The work is currently out for bid and once a contractor is selected, Elkins said that work will begin July 6, leading to a full closure of the park’s camping and day-use facilities, though its south trail will remain completely open, while the north trail will be open to its midway point. Elkins said the work is expected to take six to eight months, putting the park’s reopening at the end of 2026 or early in 2027.

Tillamook Country Smoker sold

econd Nature Brands, a Chicagobased snack and treat company, announced on June 8, that it had acquired Tillamook Country Smoker from Insignia Capital

Group and family shareholders.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and it is expected to close in the coming months.

“We are incredibly excited to be joining SNB (Second Nature Brands), who share our values and

passion to deliver consumers only the best clean high quality on-the-go-snacks and nutrition,” said Tillamook Country Smoker CEO Shane Chambers.

“We know the Tillamook brand and business will thrive under their stewardship and look forward to working with our new colleagues to take Tillamook to the next level.

Tillamook Country Smoker produces jerky, beef sticks and sausages at two factories in Oregon, including one in Bay City, employing approximately 480 people and bringing in revenues of more than $175 annually.

The investment in Tillamook Country Smoker marks the first foray into protein snacks for Second Nature Brands, which has been on an acquisition streak in recent years adding Brownie Brittle to its portfolio in 2022, Sahale Snacks in 2023 and Voortman in 2024. Those three companies joined Second Nature Snacks and Sanders.

“Tillamook is a great addition to our growing portfolio of better-for-you snacks, known for quality natural ingredients, innovation and consistently outperforming its competitors on taste and customer satisfaction,” said SNB CEO Adam Butler.

“With a winning brand in a highlyattractive growth category worth over $5 billion, the Tillamook team has an impressive track record of driving innovation, growth and performance and we look forward to working with them to build on their successes to date and realize our significant ambitions for the Tillamook brand and the wider business.”

attorney had also brought an email from one of Olson’s deputy district attorneys (DDA) to the county’s attention. In the email, the DDA said that they had been advised by Olson to tell the defense attorney that the testimony of the whistleblower, an investigator in the case, should be doubted because of questions about their credibility raised by their responses in the investigatory interview.

Libel said that this action undermined the state’s case and amounted to retaliation as it would impact the whistleblower’s ability to testify in cases, a key job duty for law enforcement officers.

When the county’s human resources department reached out to Olson to ask that her office refrain from sending such emails to avoid violating laws prohibiting retaliation against whistleblowers, she refused, responding that her office had determined the investigation report could be seen as exculpatory evidence in cases involving the whistleblower.

After Libel finished summarizing the situation, Fournier began the discussion, saying that in 18 years at the sheriff’s office he had never seen a similar situation where the manager from one county department tried to retaliate against a whistleblower in a separate department. Fournier also said that he didn’t understand why Olson was unable to enlist one of Oregon’s 36 other district attorneys or more than 300 DDAs to represent the state in the matter and had instead resorted to hiring a criminal defense attorney.

Commissioner Mary Faith Bell then chimed in, saying that she had been aware of issues in Olson’s office for some time, as she had heard from staff at Tides of Change, where she is a board member, that Olson’s staff were not believing victims or prosecuting cases appropriately and that they were treating victims and their advocates with disrespect.

“Ultimately, the perception of the community is after having been victimized criminally, they’re now being victimized by the system,” Bell said. Bell continued that staff from partner organizations and the sheriff’s office had tried to give Olson a lot of latitude, hoping that the situation would improve with time and experience, but that that clearly had not happened. Eventually, Bell said, the complaints that had

been coming piecemeal to commissioners began being reported to the county’s human resources department, leading to the decision to initiate the investigation.

In commissioning the investigation, Bell said it had been her and her fellow commissioner’s hopes that Olson would take steps to address the issues and that they would have been glad to help in that effort. “What’s happened instead is horrifying,” Bell said. “What’s happened instead is blatant retaliation against whistleblowers.”

Commissioner Erin Skaar agreed with Bell, saying that the decision to initiate the investigation had not been taken lightly but that she had also heard lots of angry feedback from people even before the formal complaints to HR. Skaar then said that she found it frustrating that Olson was an elected official who had oversight of county employees for whom the county is otherwise responsible. Skaar pointed out that if somebody sued the county over one of the DDA’s incompetence and won, the county would be on the hook for the judgment, warranting the investigation. “We had to know what was really happening to protect the entire county,” Skaar said.

The investigation was also standard procedure, Skaar continued, saying that they would have initiated a similar investigation into any other department head had they received similar complaints. Skaar then said that the commissioners had some options to discuss if Olson was going to continue to decline to work on the issues identified in the report. Bell then said that before moving into that discussion, she wanted to make it clear that her priority was making sure that Tillamook County was a place where offenders are held accountable and victims know they are supported. Fournier concurred, saying that he did not understand why Olson was a prosecutor if she did not have the same mentality.

Skaar agreed and said that the county’s top priority now needed to be protecting the whistleblower from Olson’s attempted retaliation and commended their courage for coming out with the complaints against Olson despite her ability to ruin their career.

While commissioners cannot force Olson to suspend the court case or address the issues identified in the report, Skaar said, they can stop paying her a stipend of over $20,000 a year that supplements the salary she receives from the Oregon Department of Justice. Skaar said that she viewed the

stipend as compensation for supporting the administration of a county department but that given Olson’s refusal to work with HR, she was not meeting commissioner’s expectations in that regard.

Chief Administrative Officer Rachel Hagerty said that commissioners could direct the county’s finance director to remove the stipend from the final budget commissioners will consider for approval on June 17, which will take effect July 1.

Bell then said that she did not want county funds being spent on the criminal defense attorney who was helping to retaliate against the whistleblower, with Skaar and Fournier agreeing.

Hagerty said that the board had approved a board order last year requiring that all contracts for legal services go to the chief administrative officer for approval and said that Olson had not done so before retaining Muniz.

Fournier then recalled that Olson had asked the county to pay for her personal insurance for defending against bar complaints, another payment to reassess. Skaar agreed, saying that Olson had the right to make decisions but that she didn’t want the county paying for them. Hagerty said that commissioners could simply affirm that they no longer wished to pay for the insurance and that she would make sure payment was stopped, noting that the policy had been set to renew on July 1.

Bell then floated the possibility of taking a vote of no confidence in Olson’s performance, and Skaar quickly agreed. Skaar said that while the people employ Olson, most members of the public don’t have interactions with her office to judge her performance and that given county employees’ extensive interactions with the office, it was their responsibility to alert the public to the issues.

Fournier said that it was a monumental decision to take a vote of no confidence, but that he felt Olson’s conduct, which he called unprecedented, warranted it. Fournier continued that it was a calling to do law enforcement work, one that Olson clearly didn’t have.

Fournier concluded by saying that commissioners had received far more complaints than were detailed in the investigation, thanked those who had spoken out despite fears of retaliation and said that their bravery made him want to do what he could to say that he had had enough.

Hagerty said that staff would work on a draft resolution of no confidence for commissioners to consider at their meeting on

June 17.

The day after briefing, De Muniz reached out Ashley Cadotte, the attorney representing the county in the legal proceedings regarding the subpoenas, and told her that he would be filing motions to vacate the subpoenas in both cases after learning of commissioners’ clarification that the county would not be paying for his services, Libel told the Headlight Herald in a follow-up call.

Libel said that he expected the motion to vacate the subpoena in the case investigated by Brown would be granted, as the attorney representing the defendant had not made any filings in the proceedings. The defendant’s attorney in the other case involving whistleblower had filed motions in support of the subpoena, meaning that the judge will likely want to hear pleadings, Libel said.

De Muniz will represent the state at those hearings in front of Judge Tracy Prall of Marion County, on June 16 at 9 and 10 a.m. at the Tillamook County Courthouse.

Olson declined to comment for this article, citing the ongoing legal proceedings.

Locker room concerns

Under Oregon law, locker room access is based on gender identity, and denying an individual access to their preferred locker room based on gender identity is against the law.

The Tillamook YMCA has been aware of this law for years, as well as the fact that biological males are using the women’s locker room. I recently requested that the YMCA post signage at all entrances to group locker rooms, as well as at the front desk.

All patrons, especially parents, deserve transparency about what they and their children may encounter in shared locker room spaces.

The YMCA frequently speaks about creating a welcoming environment for all. However, a welcoming environment should not come at the expense of honesty and informed choice. Women, parents and children should not be expected to discover these policies only after entering shared changing spaces.

For many women, parents and children, this does not create a welcoming environment.

should enter. That is not the case under Oregon law. It should be clearly posted so that everyone considering using that space can make an informed decision.

As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, I am struck by how little attention this historic milestone has received in our community. While preparations are underway to celebrate the Tillamook Main Library’s 20th anniversary, no comparable effort has been made to recognize America’s founding or encourage reflection on our shared history.

When we homeschooled our younger son, American history became a central part of our studies. We explored civics, geography, primary sources and classic literature to better understand the people and events that shaped our nation. That experience showed me the value of engaging young people with the broader American story—its challenges, achievements and enduring ideals.

Instead, the library has chosen to promote George Takei’s graphic novel about Japanese American internment. The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was a serious injustice, and it should be remembered and studied. However, when America’s mistakes become the primary focus of commemorative efforts, the result can be an incomplete picture of our nation’s history.

What is often overlooked is the remarkable resilience and patriotism demonstrated by many Japanese Americans, including those who served honorably in the U.S. military and chose to remain in the United States after the war. Their stories

reflect not only hardship but also faith in the principles and opportunities America offers.

My own experiences have given me a broad perspective on questions of identity, culture, and belonging. I lived in Japan as a child, my family hosted Japanese university students, and my husband’s family immigrated from Russia. As a first-generation Russian American, my husband experienced suspicion and prejudice during the Cold War, yet his family embraced the opportunities available in this country and worked hard to become citizens. Their story mirrors that of countless immigrants who came legally, contributed to their communities and believed in the promise of America.

During extensive travels across the United States and Canada, my husband and I visited historical sites, national parks and communities large and small. We met people from many backgrounds whose lives reflected perseverance, gratitude and hope. Those experiences deepened our appreciation for America as a nation defined not only by its mistakes but also by its capacity for renewal and progress.

This anniversary presents a unique opportunity to celebrate the full American story. Why are we not discussing programs focused on our founding documents, great works of American literature, notable historical figures, and the ideals that have inspired generations? Our library, museums, civic groups and educational institutions could help foster

Of course, we must learn from past mistakes. But we should not define ourselves solely by them. America’s story is one of continual striving—a nation that acknowledges its shortcomings, seeks to improve, and remains a beacon of opportunity for people around the world.

I encourage our county leaders and cultural institutions to recognize the significance of this anniversary and to support programs that honor the breadth and complexity of our shared history. There is still time to make this milestone meaningful for our community and for future generations.

Listen to your dentist and thank them

Recently, I had a 7 a.m. dental appointment in Tillamook. It is salmon fishing season, so I had hooked up my boat and trailer to go fishing in Tillamook Bay after my appointment. I have been dealing with high blood pressure, so I had some anxiety about them checking my blood pressure. I hadn’t been feeling very good lately, short of breath, tiring easily and an uncomfortable fullness in my chest.

After the dentist and an assistant checked my blood pressure and pulse, they told me it was 180 over 102 and my pulse was 127, they advised that I immediately

go to the emergency room at Adventist Health Tillamook. Instead, having always been very strong and healthy, I called my wife, told her to make sure the fire was going and I would come home to rest on the couch thinking for sure that this discomfort would go away. Not ten minutes after reclining on the couch my heart attack started---severe shoulder pain and armpit pain. I declined an ambulance that my wife suggested and had her drive me to Tillamook hospital from Bay City. Just moments into the car ride the severe chest and heart pain began. I didn’t think I was going to make it. Immediately upon arrival at the emergency room, they had me in a bed and began treatment to ease the pain and slow the progress of the heart attack. Upon doing further bloodwork they had proof I was having a heart attack and would need to go to Portland for further care. An ambulance ride to Portland Adventist hospital and a meeting with a cardiologist led to the placement of a stent in a heart artery that was 90% blocked. I am back home after three days and feeling so much better I want to thank Bizeau Dental office for their care and guidance and a big thanks to the emergency room and ambulance crew at Tillamook Adventist for their promptness and quality care. Dr. Cox and staff were wonderful. Thank you. Terry and Diane Griffin Bay City

Disappointed in election turnout

Despite our universally mailed-out ballot, only 50% returned their ballots in our county. This means that only 25% of registered voters reelected Commissioner Bell, while only 21% elected new county judge, Matt Lyon. As someone who spends much time on voter education, the low turn-out is disappointing. Also notable, was the number of write-ins: DA Olson, ran unopposed, but received only 47% of the votes cast with 491 opposi-

Was this based on the behavior of candidates during the election cycle? Consider that the county judge candidates and commissioner candidate, Jeff Spink, were working full-time in nonpolitical positions during this election. Despite this fact, they attended several candidate events, the Home and Garden show and the debate hosted by We the People of Tillamook County. Jeff Spink also attended the AAUW candidate forum.

Re: Opposed to Beaver School development

application. I was approached by Sharon Reeder, of Oceanside, while shopping last Tuesday at Tillamook Goodwill. She offered a warm hug and conversation. Sharon was the first to befriend me at church when I moved with my young family (all grown now) to Hebo in 1993; a kindness that I always remembered. She tells me that she reads our Fencepost column weekly, so I asked if she and her hubby Perry still live in Beaver. “No,” she said, “Sarah and Tony live at the farm now.” The elder couple live back in Oceanside these days. It was good to see her; I appreciate my loyal readers, thanks to all of you.

Happy Juneteenth on Friday, dear reader. Happy Father’s Day on Sunday to any of you who are a father or a grandfather as well. Happy birthday this week to- Sophie Christiansen, Richard Gann, Robert Gann, Larry Love, Marissa McMahon, Dan Pengelly,

Contrastingly, Bell appeared publicly at the AAUW candidate forum and the Home and Garden Show. She did mention her campaign during the commissioner KTIL update, but she refused to attend the We the People of Tillamook County (a nonpartisan, constitutional group) Debate, claiming it was partisan. Yet she accepted a $500 donation from Act Blue, a major Democrat political action committee. Also, on her Commissioner Facebook page she shared a letter of support that stated “book bans could become the norm” if Spink was elected, an impossibility that Bell knows as liaison to the library.

Hopefully, these newly elected leaders reflect on these dismal numbers and Tillamook County voters increase their voter turnout in the future. If you didn’t vote, please consider emailing wethepeopletillamookco@ yahoo.com. We would love to hear your feedback.

The costs of factory farming

Dear Editor:

Lawmakers are now investigating toxic gas emissions from animal farming, including ammonia pollution that threatens nearby communities (The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Feb. 17, 2026). For residents living near these facilities, this isn’t new—it’s daily life.

We often talk about factory farming in terms of animals or climate, but the human cost is just as real. Families are breathing contaminated air so the rest of us can consume cheap meat and dairy.

This raises an uncomfortable question: how cheap is “cheap” if others are paying with their health?

If we value clean air and public health, we must confront the true cost of industrial animal agriculture—and start supporting food systems that don’t harm communities in the process.

Respectfully, Tate Harringer Tillamook

My name is Kevin Shluka. My wife, Katie, and I are looking to develop the old Beaver Middle School. I write in response to Terry Jones’ letter titled “Opposed to Beaver School Development.” This morning I met Terry and his partner, Beth, at the school to give them a tour and discuss their concerns. I hope that I allayed their misgivings about our project and our motivation. For the record, I’d like to address those concerns here: Prior to purchasing the property on Blaine Road, I met with the Beaver Water District’s board and staff multiple times. I was aware that water availability has been an issue for a while. Since taking over as District Manager, Larry Chitwood has done much to shore up systems, provide for better capacity in the dry season, and generally streamline operations. Consequently, the Water District confirmed that there is capacity for our project. We will pay for system development charges, system upgrades and water usage fees like any other customer. I suspect we will be their largest customer by a wide margin. Ironically, the day before Terry’s letter was published, I was in a meeting with representatives from the Governor’s office, Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Business Oregon, Oregon Housing and Community Services, Oregon Department of Transportation and other state offices to discuss our project. I sang the praises of the folks at the Beaver Water District and discussed opportunities to find funding to fulfill their master plan infrastructure upgrades. Our development project seems to be receiving some attention from State departments and organizations trying to support rural revitalization projects. There are other people in Beaver working to make it an even better place to live and raise a family. These collective efforts could and should lead to new opportunities for the broader support of our community. In reference to Terry and Beth’s concerns around the question of septic waste, we are working directly with the DEQ to design a large on-site wastewater system. The cost of design and construction for this system will be entirely ours. The system design must be approved with the DEQ’s guidance. Once in use, it will require scheduled maintenance and regular reporting. The DEQ will monitor and enforce violations for the life of the system. If there are other issues or concerns people have around our efforts to save the old school structure, create housing, and increase services to Beaver and South County please don’t hesitate to reach

out. I’m frequently at the school; giving tours, cleaning out the gutters or mowing the lawn. Stop by, tell me a story about the building, or ask my intentions. I’m always happy to chat.

Support the IMLS

As a devoted patron of our Tillamook County Library, I recently enjoyed listening to the Let’s Talk Tillamook show with an interview with Oregon’s State Librarian, Wendy Cornelisen. She talked about the support that our local library and other rural libraries receive from the Oregon State Library such software to coastal libraries that has reduced costs and increased efficiency, as well as licenses for digital resources and research services.

Cornelisen also pointed out that the Republican administration budget recently zeroed out funding for the Institute for the Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the federal budget. This federal agency provides grants and funding to libraries across Oregon and the USA. In March, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the IMLS saying the agency and funding were not necessary.

Not so, I say. Eliminating this agency and funding would have an impact on our local library and all public libraries across the country resulting in reduced services, books and resources. Everyone who uses our county library will be affected by these changes. We can advocate for our libraries by writing to our representative Suzanne Bonamici saying you want the IMLS funded in the FY2027 federal budget.

Our Tillamook County Library is special; a place in our community where every person, regardless of age, income, or background, is genuinely welcome. It is where children first discover that stories can transport them somewhere entirely new. It is where a teenager might find a book that finally reflects their own experience and feel, perhaps for the first time, less alone. It is where adults can explore ideas, histories, and lives vastly different from their own. This is how empathy is built. Books expand our imagination. They challenge comfortable assumptions. They introduce us to people we might never otherwise meet and places we might never otherwise go. That is not dangerous. It is exactly what a free society depends upon.

Let’s Talk Tillamook show has done some excellent short interviews in the past year on supporting veterans, the childcare shortage in Oregon, coastal tourism. You can watch these free videos at https://www.youtube.com/@ LetsTalkTillamook.

Colleen Rae Hagerty

September 30, 1944 - May 27, 2026

Colleen Rae Hagerty of Cloverdale, Oregon, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2026, surrounded by her loving children.

Born in Tillamook, Oregon, on September 30, 1944, to Wilma Dunn Hagerty and John “Jack” Hagerty, Colleen lived a life defined by love, generosity, faith, and service to others. She possessed a rare gift for making people feel seen, valued, and cared for, and she never hesitated to help someone in need.

Colleen was preceded in death by her son, Brian Fitch; her parents, Wilma and Jack Hagerty; and her brother, Bruce Hagerty.

She is survived by her brother, William “Bill” Hagerty, and her children: Mark Fitch and his wife, Jennifer; Michelle Hamilton and her longtime partner Stephen Kapture; and John “Wally” Fitch and his wife, Jacquie. She is also survived by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy and pride to her life: Myranda (Hamilton) and her husband, J.D. Baker and their children, Rylee and Jett; Cooper Fitch and his partner, Violet Bryant; Nicole Hamilton and her fiancé, Mark Nance; Bailey (Hamilton) and her husband, Doug Girard; Kaelyn Fitch and Jackson Fitch; Rachelle Hancock and her son, Flint; Michael Corey and his wife, Erin and their children, Olivia, Dexter, and Sawyer.

A lifelong South County native, Colleen grew up on a dairy farm in Cloverdale and attended local schools, forming friendships that lasted throughout her life.

Beloved wife and mother Donna Mackey was born March 1, 1943 in Portland, OR to Raymond and Anona (Lyons) Anderson and passed away May 31, 2026 in Tillamook, OR at the age of 83.

Donna attended school in Beaverton and then Tillamook High School. She married Billy Bussard and they had two children together. Donna worked as a crew boss in the broccoli fields and later at the Tillamook Cheese Factory in the packaging department. As time went on, she met and married Budd Mackey.

Although she spent many years traveling the world as a Navy spouse, Oregon always remained home in her heart. Family was the center of Colleen’s world. Among her treasured belongings was a handwritten list titled “My Wonderful Family”, which proudly named her four children, eight grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Nothing brought her greater happiness than watching her family grow and thrive. Whether it was a school event, sporting competition, concert, or community gathering, Colleen was there cheering from the stands, watching from home, or proudly telling others about the accomplishments of those she loved.

Many evenings found her at a gymnasium, stadium, or athletic field, supporting not only her own family but also the children of friends and neighbors. She became a familiar and beloved presence at Nestucca football and basketball games, and when she could not attend an event, she followed every game she could on television.

Colleen’s impact ex-

Donna Mackey

tended far beyond her family. Through her work at Tillamook High School, she touched countless young lives. One of her greatest joys was encountering former students who would tell her how much she had influenced them and how her encouragement shaped the people they became. These moments affirmed what so many already knew—that Colleen had a remarkable ability to lift others up and leave a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Her faith was equally important to her. Colleen was deeply involved in Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, where she faithfully served in countless ways behind the scenes to ensure services, ministries, and fellowship opportunities ran smoothly. She especially cherished Bible studies, worship, and the friendships she found within her church family.

To say Colleen will be missed is an understatement. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, faith, and unwavering devotion to family and community. Her influence can be seen in the lives she touched, the relationships she nurtured, and the example she set for all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made in Colleen’s name to the Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church Backpack Program. Celebration of Life will be held on June 20th, 2026 at 11 a,m.

According to my weather program, we will have had some pretty fair weather over the weekend. Temperatures may have reached the 80s here in Garibaldi, so I can only imagine what they were like in the valley. I expect many folks will have found their way to the coast for relief. I plan to stay home with my garden, to the extent I have not already committed myself to something else. I can watch the traffic go by and be glad I am not driving.

The Portside Bistro is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday, July 16th, from 4 to 6 p.m. Ten years. I remember they were there through COVID, delivering food so we did not have to go out and could still have a great meal. Improvements are coming; there is new outdoor seating with tables in open air as well as under cover. Just in time for this nice weather to arrive. Congratulations Dennis and Amanda. Thank you for all you have added to this community.

I dropped into Pacific Gypsy Boutique to see what I could see. My goodness, there are so many things there. Cheryl was hard at work beading when I came in. She has beaded earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all handmade. There are knitted and crocheted items; there was a knitted sweater that caught my eye. She has scarves and headbands. A variety of items that can catch your eye and be that just right item for someone you know – or for yourself.

There was a break in the water line between 3rd and 6th on Cypress on Thursday, June 11th. So, if your water was off for a bit, it could have been from that break.

The city council met in a workshop on Monday, June 8th, to discuss the upcoming hiring process for a city manager, the possible purchase of a new accounting system, and the council’s role in the request for another fire levy. The hiring process will be discussed again at the July 13th workshop, when the process will be

defined and ready for council approval. These workshops should give council additional time for discussion of items or issues that come before them, and hopefully they will keep the business meeting (3rd Monday of the month) to a reasonable time.

This coming Monday the council will hold the budget hearing and pass the budget for fiscal year 2026-2027. This allows the city to continue functioning for another year. The agenda is out and on-line for the meeting. There is also a flyer out for the June 22nd Town Hall meeting to be held at city hall, 5:30 p.m., on that Monday. Council is busy this month.

Dungeons

June 29-

July 3rd

D&D Diversions

D&D Diversions is a day camp for children age 12 and older to create their own characters and cooperatively participate in popular role-playing games (RPGs) with other children in a fun, safe, welcoming environment, scheduled for June 29 to July 3.

“We take anyone that can be kind at the table and wants to be there,” Camp Director Tiffany Craft said.

Four years ago, Craft and a sponsoring teacher began a Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) club at her son’s middle school, and they have grown the program to include 28 children.

“We kind of resemble the island of misfit toys because we get so many different types of kids that would have never spoke otherwise suddenly searching for treasure together or saving the day together,” Craft said. “Kids that don’t have a voice anywhere else get to be in control of their characters and escape their daily drama to just play.”

Rust&Stardust Society is an effort where Craft is partnering with Patrick Heelan providing gaming opportunities to interested folks ranging from birthday parties to the D&D Diversions summer camp. Craft is currently working with her favorite game master, Heelan, to offer a dozen different RPG options, of which D&D is one of.

were in attendance, as were field representatives for Senator Jeff Merkley and Suzanne Bonamici, numerous state representatives, several candidates for state house and senate, and members of other organizations such as Business Oregon.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar told the group that TWLWC had been formed in 2016 in response to ballot measures targeting herbicide usage in forestry to educate leaders and the public on the measures already being undertaken in natural resource industries to protect clean water.

The group then traveled to the Martin Dairy, where Taryn Martin led a tour of the dairy, which is home to around 700 Jersey cows.

Martin Dairy uses a robotic milking system, which it transitioned to recently at a cost of $5.4 million, according to Martin.

Martin told the group about the collars that each of the dairy’s cows wear to track their food intake, including data on rumination, or the quality of the cow’s chewing, that along with pedometers alert dairy staff to cows that might have medical issues allowing early intervention. Martin also discussed the dairy’s waste management system, which collects cow manure via a chain pulled mechanism that deposits it in three tanks to be applied on the farm’s fields during dry weather. Martin also told the group that around 70% of beef in grocery stores came from dairy cows, which have an average life span of eight to ten years.

Oregon Dairy Farmers Executive Director Tami Kerr also spoke briefly about initiative petition 28, which would see any harm to animals, including farming, banned in the state, saying that it was insulting to farmers.

Tillamook County Creamery Association Director of Farm Engagement Kate Lott, who is also a registered veterinarian, discussed antibiotic usage in the association’s herds, explaining that milk containing antibiotics was not used in their products. Lott said that each load of milk delivered to the dairy was tested for antibiotics and that farmers worked hard to detect illness early so that alternative responses

would be successful.

Once they had seen the robotic milking room and waste collection system, the group visited the dairy’s 32-cow rotary that is used for cows that have recently calved and the dairy’s calves.

The tour next proceeded to the Trask River Fish Hatchery, which was founded in 1914 and is operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).

The hatchery reared 230,000 fall chinook salmon, 450,000 spring Chinook salmon, 125,000 brood stock coho salmon for the Trask River and 140,000 wild brood stock steelhead in the past year.

The tour split into two groups, with each visiting the hatchery’s lower outdoor tank, which was currently empty, but is used to collect returning fish before they are scanned for tags placed by fisheries and have their eggs harvested. The groups also visited the hatchery’s hatch house, where they were given the chance to see the winter steelhead that were in the process of maturing from larva to fry, before they would be moved to the facility’s upper outdoor tanks.

Hatchery team member Amy Bennet discussed how she used slight variations in water temperature to speed or slow the maturation process for the fish, so that eggs collected on different dates would be ready for release on just three days, early, middle and late in the release season.

Bennet also discussed the impacts of the recent closure of the Salmon River Hatchery on the team at

Trask River, who must now travel to the closed hatchery’s fish traps to collect fall Chinook. The fish’s eggs are then removed and spawned at the Trask River Hatchery, before being transferred to another hatchery for rearing before they are transported back to the Salmon River for release, a process expected to continue for the next five years. Bennet concluded the hatch house tour by showing the groups the facility’s water treatment system, which includes filtration to remove sediment from incoming water that is gravity fed from Gold Creek before being treated with UV light to kill bacteria.

Ryan Fenwick, from the hatchery, showed the groups the hatchery’s upper fish tanks, where more mature steelhead were being prepared for release. Fenwick also showed the groups the water intake on Gold Creek.

After the stop at the hatchery, the tour concluded for the day, with participants traveling to Astoria and attending a mixer in the evening before reconvening the following morning at the Clatsop County fairgrounds for the tour’s second day.

There, members of CFWPEDC welcomed the tour group and explained that the committee had been formed by 4H and the Oregon State University Extension Service in the county, and consists of 13 members who work to spread awareness about the economic importance of the forestry industry to Clatsop County. 94% of the land in the county is covered with forests, and workers in the industry earn $87,000 on average annually, 77% higher than annual average wages in the county.

Following the introduction, the group boarded buses and were driven to an active timber harvest site being managed by Nuveen Natural Capital. Production Forester Hunter Thompson gave the tour group the lay of the land, explaining the process that precedes timber harvests and what was occurring during the active cutting.

Thompson said that the process began three years before harvest, when he evaluated the site, first on using geographical information systems (GIS) software before driving the parcel. Thompson said that he

were too large for local mills to process. Thompson estimated that 40 to 50 different contractors would work on the project by the time it was complete and said that the trees on the property were grown with a 47-year harvest rotation.

Kevin Brown, regional manager for Nuveen, then spoke, saying that during his career he had seen a lot of progress in finding a middle ground with environmentalists and those in the industry, culminating in the PFA, which he said represented the most modern rules in the country for the logging industry. Brown said that engaging and educating the community on the improved relationship between the industry and environmentalists was important to change perceptions of overly zealous harvest practices the public might have.

Brown then discussed the ownership of the parcel, explaining that it had most recently been purchased in 2009 by the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, since which point it has been managed by several different companies, most recently Nuveen.

From the harvest, the group traveled to the Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area where an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) staffer gave an overview of the agency’s mission at the 1,114-acre wildlife area, which is largely focused on elk preservation and viewing. The staffer said that the wildlife area supported around 250 elk at any given time, 274 currently, and that ODFW staff managed more than 400 acres to provide winter forage for the elk and additionally provided supplemental feed in the winter to encourage the elk to stay in open areas designed for viewing.

looked at property lines, sensitive habitat areas and wetlands among other things to help determine where and how to proceed with harvest.

Two years before harvest, Thompson said that a contractor would do a survey of every stream in a harvest site to determine if they were seasonal or yearround, and that data would be combined with information gathered through fish surveys to determine the necessary buffers for each stream. Thompson explained that these regulations had been established in private forest accord (PFA) passed in 2021, and that streams bearing fish had buffers of 100 to 110 feet, while non-fish-bearing streams required smaller buffers.

Once those steps are complete, Thompson develops a road plan, which is then passed on to a contractor for completion. In the case of the harvest the group visited, roads through the cut from previous logging were rebuilt using rock from onsite.

Six months to a year before harvest begins, layout engineers are contracted to finalize the buffers, before Thompson works with a logger or loggers to create a logging plan and negotiate a price for the work.

Thompson said that for this unit, about 60% of the logs were being moved by shovel, in flatter areas, with the remaining 40% moved by yarder.

Thompson said that wood from the harvest was being sent to eight or nine different mills, and that some of the larger logs were also being exported as they

In addition to providing elk viewing opportunities to the public, the wildlife area has also helped repopulate areas throughout Oregon and California, with more than 2,000 elk relocated from the center to other areas in the states since 1972. The staffer said that the wildlife area received an estimated 130,000 visits a year and relied on federal funding from a tax on ammunition and state funding from a hunting license fee.

The group next traveled to a piece of Weyerhauser property surrounded by clear cuts of various ages to demonstrate the different stages of the growth and harvest cycle. Steve Kenniston from Weyerhauser discussed the way that companies like his manage their forestlands between harvests.

Kenniston explained that after a harvest, seedlings grown in nurseries in the Willamette Valley for two to three years are transplanted by hand with one planted every ten to twelve feet, noting that the company had planted over one million this winter between January and April. For the first two to five years, the seedlings’ progress is monitored intensely, with herbicide applied to kill off competitive species, but after that, the trees are largely left to their own devices, aside from possible mid-rotation fertilizer treatments.

T he wait is finally over. Saturday, June 13th officially marked the return of the Tillamook Farmers Market, and we could not be more excited to welcome you back.

Starting last weekend and running every Saturday through September 26th, Laurel Avenue (right between City Hall and the Courthouse) will transform into a vibrant, open-air celebration of everything that makes our community so special. Whether you are a seasoned regular or planning your very first visit, the energy of opening weekend is something you won’t want to miss. One of the best parts of a new season is reuniting with the people who

feed and inspire us. You can look forward to seeing many of your absolute favorite past vendors returning to their usual spots stocked with the ultra-fresh local produce, beautiful floral bouquets, fresh baked goods, and handmade coastal crafts you’ve been craving all winter. But that is just the be -

ginning. We are thrilled to introduce a fantastic lineup of new vendors to the market family this year. From innovative food creators to unique local crafters, there are plenty of fresh booths to explore and new passions to support. It is no secret that the Tillamook Farmers Market has been growing in popularity each year. What

started as a modest gathering has blossomed into a beloved weekly tradition for both locals and coastal visitors. It’s a place to slow down, catch up with your neighbors, support local micro-businesses, and share a smile. We want you to make a day of it, so we’ve packed the market with features to delight visitors of all ages:

● Enjoy the sounds of talented local and regional musicians playing right in the heart of the market.

● We have plenty of fun, engaging activities lined up to keep the little ones entertained while you shop.

● Don’t forget that well-behaved, leashed pups are always welcome to join in on the fun.

Hampton Lumber Announces Free Recreational Permit Program for Forestland in Oregon and SW Washington

H ampton Lumber today announced the launch of a free recreational permit program for public access to the company’s forestlands in Oregon, as well as designated Hamptonowned forestlands in southwest Washington. These forestlands have long been open to public recreation. The permit program will simply serve as a communication tool to provide clear, current information about access conditions, safety considerations, and expectations for responsible use. Under the program,

forestlands are available for fishing, hunting, hiking, and other uses consistent with permit rules and seasonal restrictions. Permit holders should be aware that Hampton will continue to close all public access during periods of high fire danger— typically during the summer months—to protect public safety, neighboring landowners, and forest resources. Camping, fires, dumping, and vandalism are never allowed on Hampton land, and permit holders are expected to pack out what they pack in and respect posted rules and restrictions. “We’re pleased to be able

to continue offering public access to these forestlands, and we understand how much that access is appreciated by local community members,” said Hampton Timberland Manager Paul Lulay. “This permit gives us a better way to stay in touch with people who use these lands so we can share timely information about conditions, closures, and what’s expected to keep access safe and respectful.”

Hampton forestlands and road networks within the permit areas are often interspersed with other private lands, some of which do not allow recreational

access. Permit holders are responsible for understanding property boundaries and adjacent landowner access policies when recreating on Hampton land. Permits are available through an online platform administered by My Outdoor Agent (MOA) and are issued upon application. All permit applications, account management, and public inquiries regarding access to lands in permit areas should be directed to MOA.

The permit program will go into effect June 8, 2026. At that time, all recreational users present on

Hampton property will be expected to display proof of a valid permit. To learn more about the program, visit: www.hamptonlumber.com/recreation.

Estate of John and Janet Stahl donates nearly 250 works to Hoffman Center for

Artist s tudio t our weekend in M A nz A nitA Hoffman Center for the Arts

H offman Center for the Arts has received a major gift from the estate of John and Janet Stahl: a large financial donation and nearly 250 works spanning the full range of John R. Stahl’s long career as a Pacific Northwest modernist artist. The donation includes oil paintings, watercolors, prints, collages, carvings and sculptures, as well as examples of his distinctive hand-painted duck decoys. It’s one of the most significant gifts in the organization’s history.

Stahl (1937–2017) spent decades painting, printing, carving, and creating at his studio on the Oregon Coast, building a body of work rooted in the landscape and light of the North Coast. He’s remembered warmly by the Manzanita community as a generous artist and neighbor, and his work is now recognized as an important chapter in Pa -

cific Northwest modernism.

“John and Janet Stahl believed this work belonged with this community, and we’re honored to steward their legacy,” said Liam Whitworth, Executive Director of Hoffman Center for the Arts. “The sale gives collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of that legacy, and every dollar goes directly to making our art classes and programs for all ages more accessible and affordable.”

Special exhibition and sale: July 18–19

A selection of Stahl’s work will be on view and available for purchase in the workshop room behind the Hoffman Center gallery during this year’s North Oregon Coast Artist Studio Tour weekend, July 18–19, 2026. The work is priced below original gallery values and sells as-is, direct from the studio collection. All proceeds benefit the Hoffman Center.

Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson, a longtime friend of the Stahls and former curator at the Portland Art Museum, will be on hand to speak with visitors about John’s life and practice, his place in Northwest art history, and the significance of this gift.

About John R. Stahl (1937–2017)

John R. Stahl was a beloved Oregon Coast modernist artist whose work encompasses painting, watercolor, printmaking, collage, carving and sculpture. He worked for decades out of his studio on the North Coast, drawing on the natural world around him with skill, humor, and deep attention. His handpainted duck decoys became one of his most recognizable signatures, blending folk tradition with fine art sensibility. Stahl was a fixture in the Manzanita art community and a friend to

generations of artists, neighbors and visitors who passed through. About Hoffman Center for the Arts

Hoffman Center for the Arts is a community arts nonprofit in Manzanita, Oregon, dedicated to helping people explore, create, and connect through the arts. Programs include a clay studio, gallery exhibitions, visual and literary arts, a community horticulture project, and youth education. The Hoffman Center is located at 594 Laneda Avenue.

Beach Clean Up Day scheduled July 5

Friends o F n etA rts B Ay

Friends of Netarts Bay - WEBS and Oceanside Action Partnership invites community members, families, and visitors to join us on July 5th for a beach cleanup from Cape Lookout to Cape Meares. Volunteers will work together to remove marine debris and litter left behind after the Fourth of July festivities. Cleanups provide a great opportunity to come together as a community to make a positive difference; every piece of trash removed protects our local coastal ecosystems and prevents harm to seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. “Healthy beaches benefit both people and wildlife,” said Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator. Check in begins at 10

a.m. Volunteers can start at The Schooner Restaurant

or the upper parking lot at Oceanside beach; we will have check-in tables at both locations. Volunteers will be split into teams in order to cover as much area as possible. Also, be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean. Volunteers should dress for the weather, wear sturdy footwear and bring a water bottle. Gloves, trash grabbers and a limited number of buckets will be provided. Please bring your own bucket if you have one. As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals and never turn your

back on the ocean. If you find any hazardous material or unattended beach fires, please alert a staff member.

The event is free and open to the public. No previous experience is necessary, and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Youth under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event, visit http://www.netartsbaywebs. org/events

Questions: Email info@ netartsbaywebs.org

Consider donating: Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS is committed to offering high-quality, nature-based events led by experts, while also reducing the financial barrier of outdoor recreation. We do this by offering our events and programs at no cost to participants. Visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/donations to support our work.

The Downtown Spruce Up Continues

tillAMook AreA ChAMBer oF CoMMerCe

If you’ve taken a stroll downtown lately, you might have noticed things looking a whole lot brighter. That’s all thanks to the special people in our community who consistently go above and beyond to make Tillamook County a truly wonderful place to be. Because of their hard work and dedication, downtown is shining for the summer ahead, perfectly combining fresh blooms with a beautiful touch of red, white and blue. Our sidewalks got a fantastic head start this early spring thanks to two local high school seniors, Damion and Vincent, who powerwashed the sidewalks for their Senior Project. Building on that momentum, Terry Phillips and his incredible crew have been working to clean up downtown Tillamook’s side-

walks along 101, with even more clean-up work happening this very week. We owe a massive thank you to Terry and his team for their dedication to keeping downtown looking nice.

Beyond the clean-up, you may have also noticed a beautiful wave of patriotic flair popping up around town. We want to send a special shout out to the Grinch Gang for hanging the wonderful fan flags that are bringing a patriotic energy to our streets just in time for the upcoming summer festivities. The downtown transformation doesn’t stop there. Our flowerpots are officially getting a fresh makeover with beautiful new flowers from Penny, and they will stay hydrated and thriving all season long with the helping hand of Wendy. If you want to add some color and a pop of summer vibes to your block, the Flow-

er Pot Program is the perfect way to add a splash of color to our sidewalks without any of the heavy lifting. When you sponsor a pot, the Chamber handles absolutely everything, from the initial planting to the weekly watering and ongoing maintenance all season long. The best part? Anyone can participate. As a program of the Tillamook Chamber Foundation, this is open to everyone, you don’t need to own a downtown business to sponsor a pot. Whether you are a resident, a local family or an organization, you can contribute a small investment to help beautify a corner of our community. Ready to help Tillamook bloom? To learn more about the Flower Pot Program or to secure your sponsored pot before they are all claimed, reach out to Meg at the Chamber HQ or drop her an email at meg@tillamookchamber. org.
