Commissioners approve lease for homeless shelters in downtown Tillamook

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook County’s Board of Commissioners approved a lease for Community Action Resource Enterprises to place one no-barrier and several low-barrier shelters on county land on First Street in Tillamook on May 31.

Commissioners also signaled their intention to approve the expansion of a subdivision in Oceanside after a public notice period, recognized Juneteenth as a county holiday and named June “Celebrate Local Food Month” in Tillamook County.

The lease approval for Community Action Resource Enterprises’ (CARE) request to build new shelters on the property on First Street adjacent to the post office, Hoquarton House and CARE’s headquarters drew unusual dissenst among board members. Commissioner David Yamamoto expressed “grave concerns” about the process used in the lease application and abstained from the eventual vote for approval.

Dusti Lannell, the chair of CARE’s board of directors, presented the organization’s planned project for the leased land, which would initially include the installation one communal shelter and six smaller units on the property. The larger communal shelter would

have no barriers for entry, operating like CARE’s temporary warming shelters that are open in the winter and accept people on a night-tonight basis.

The smaller shelters would come in two sizes, housing either one or two individuals, or families between two and four people. The smaller shelters would serve as transitional housing and require residents complete an application process. The shelters would be drug free and residents would be connected with employment, social and housing services to help them progress into permanent housing.

According to CARE’s application for the lease, the units would be located behind a fence with a gate, shielding them from public view. There would also be two bathrooms, one of which would be ADA compliant. The lease will cost care one dollar annually and run through 2062, matching the duration of the lease of the adjacent Hoquarton House.

Funds for the project are coming from behavioral health and resource networks created by Measure 110 that are designated to help provide shelter for those suffering from substance use disorders.

The shelters and bathrooms for the site would be purchased from Pallet Shelter, a Washington based company that makes modular structures designed to address housing

emergencies. CARE hopes to have the shelters and bathrooms installed at the site by September 2023.

A planned second phase of the plan would add ten small shelters, four family shelters, more standalone bathrooms and a navigation center with additional bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry facilities and office workstations by September 2024.

After consulting with Tillamook City Manager Nathan George, Tillamook Police Chief Nathan Rau, County Commissioner Erin Skaar and County Housing Coordinator TJ Fiorelli, the team from CARE decided that the property abutting their headquarters and behind two county parking lots was the “perfect” location for the project.

However, Yamamoto quickly expressed concerns about the project, which he felt had been rushed before the board without sufficient opportunity for public feedback. He noted that the proposed project had only been announced in a press release the previous Thursday and it had not been published in the county prior to the meeting.

Yamamoto also expressed concerns about CARE’s operations and ability to operate the shelter and what responsibilities the county would have should issues arise. He noted that CARE is currently without an executive director and alluded to financial issues at the or-

STR owners and operators object to proposed ordinance update

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Owners and operators of short-term rentals had a large turnout at the first meeting seeking public comment on proposed revisions to the ordinance governing their properties on May 30. They strenuously objected to the proposed updates to ordinance 84, contending that they amounted to government overreach and asking county commissioners to either forego the updates or curtail them drastically.

The meeting at the Port of Tillamook Bay began with a presentation by Tillamook County Director of Community Development Sarah Absher about the proposed ordinance update.

County commissioners instituted a pause on the processing of new shortterm rental (STR) license applications in July of last year and formed an STR advisory committee to work on updates to Ordinance 84.

The pause followed complaints from residents across the county about safety and livability issues that had been created by the recent proliferation of STRs and their popularity during the pandemic.

The advisory committee met monthly over the past year, gathering data and community feedback before working to revise an initial draft of the proposed ordinance update presented in January. The committee was made up of both STR owners and operators and members of communities affected by those properties’ preponderance.

The final draft of the new ordinance presented for public comment and approval received committee consensus on many matters, but disagreements on limits on the number and transferability of licenses were not resolved.

The proposed ordinance would increase the building standards to which properties seeking an STR license would be held, create a new maximum occupancy formula, and strengthen the existing ordinance’s rules regarding parking, garbage and sound. The ordinance would also add a definitions section, event regulations and a requirement that a “good neighbor policy” be posted in STRs.

Most contentious in the committee’s deliberations were discussions of limiting the growth of the short-term rental program in the county or limiting the transferability of licenses.

Initially, STR proponents opposed any limitation mechanism. But after direction from the commissioners that they would be instituting a growth management strategy with or without committee consensus, the committee agreed to a cap that would limit new license issuance to an additional 1% of the

number of extant licenses prior to the pause. Over the next year, groups from each of those communities would meet to recommend license limits specific to their community to the board of county commissioners.

The transferability question flummoxed the committee even more than did the question of growth management. STR owners and operators on the committee would not endorse any limit to the transferability of licenses, concerned about the effects on the value of properties operating as STRs, while other committee members wanted a transfer limit to promote circulation of licenses.

Eventually, by a vote of six votes for, four against and two undecided, the committee included a one transfer limit for existing licenses and a ban on transfer of licenses issued after the new ordinance is adopted.

After Absher briefed the meeting on the contents of the ordinance, the public comment portion of the meeting began.

More than 30 people came forward or appeared on Zoom to comment on the ordinance, with all but a handful expressing their opposition to the proposed

ganization several times, saying, “I maybe know a little more about the finances of CARE than I should.”

Linnell answered each of Yamamoto’s concerns. She said that CARE has recently completed a complete financial audit returning no worrying findings and stressed that this project would be funded by Measure 110. Linell also said that CARE had something “better” than an executive director with a consortium of board members and other locals working together to carry out those functions.

As for Yamamoto’s concerns about a rushed process, Linnell noted that House Bill 2006, which allows city planners to fast track the approval of shelters to combat the homelessness crisis, is expiring at the end of June, prompting the quick action.

Linnell said that CARE had not publicized the planning of the project previously because they felt it was hard to gather public feedback before identifying a site to allow for better evaluation. She also noted that failure to construct more shelters in the county would run afoul of Oregon’s “Right to Rest” law and allow homeless people to legally camp in public right of ways due to lack of alternative.

Skaar, who served as executive director of CARE prior to her election as county commissioner, then jumped in to further address

Yamamoto’s concerns. She pointed out that the lease’s terms only allowed for shelters for this purpose and required that CARE maintain and operate them, or the land would revert to county ownership with no requirement to continue the shelter’s operation.

Skaar also noted that work at the site would require review and approval from the board of commissioners and that the lease only represented the first step in the process. She said that she worried delaying approval of the lease would give local opposition an opportunity to emerge. She said that the county was at a critical point in its response to the homelessness crisis and that it needed to provide options to move people off the street.

Yamamoto reiterated that his objections were to the process that had been employed, saying that he thought the shelter proposal or something similar to it would be beneficial to the county, but that he felt the cart had been put before the horse.

That left Commissioner Mary Faith Bell as the deciding vote on the matter. Bell said that she understood Yamamoto’s concerns but that she felt they were coming in large part because he had been out of the county on county business in the past several weeks. She said that in

ODHS officials visit Tillamook for emergency supply container seminar

Officials from the Oregon Department of Human Services visited the Port of Tillamook Bay to share information about two Conex containers housing emergency supplies that were recently delivered to the airport on May 30.

The containers hold the necessary supplies to set up an evacuation assembly point at the Tillamook Airport that can receive and triage

survivors before deciding on the appropriate next step for them.

The two, 20-by-8-foot containers were delivered in late April, making Tillamook the first location in the state to receive such supplies from the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS).

The county partnered with the Port of Tillamook Bay and Nearspace Corporation to accommodate the containers at the port, where they are situated adjacent to the Nearspace facility.

Together, the containers hold supplies that are designed to sustain 100 people for two weeks after an emergency event. There are 17 identical, 18-by-16-foot tents that will house a mess hall, medical tent and shelter for survivors, among other facilities, a main, command tent, an 8-stall shower tent and six two-stall field latrines in the containers along with generators, water purification, meals ready to eat and other

Salmonberry Trail Foundation accelerates work

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Salmonberry Trail Foundation has been ramping up its activities this year, with the hiring of a new executive director in January and clearance of a section of future trail in Washington County.

Caroline Fitchett, who took over as executive director in January, said that the foundation needs continued support from the community to make the exciting plan a reality

“There’s lots of opportunities and needs that we have for folks to step up and be a part of this legacy project,” Fitchett said.

The envisioned trail would connect Banks, in Washington County, with Tillamook using the disused rail crossing over the Salmonberry Pass to access Wheeler, before running adjacent to the railbed of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad to Tillamook. The plan was conceptualized by various community groups more than a decade ago, but after the foundation’s creation in 2019, progress was stalled by the pandemic in 2020, and is only now resuming in earnest.

The Salmonberry Trail Foundation works in conjunction with the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency to help coordinate work on the trail, which will be built in sections as possible. The intergovernmental agency controls the land on which the trail will run, while the foundation is in charge of raising funding to build the

trail itself.

Fitchett came to the foundation with a background in community organizing and uses those same skills to promote awareness and excitement for the trail, which she says is key to achieving the ambitious vision.

“In order for us to be able to build the trail we have to build capacity and a movement around the trail,” Fitchett said.

Fitchett will soon be joined in that effort by Gavin Mahaley, a longtime volunteer for causes related to the trail who will soon begin working full time as the foundation’s communications director.

Mahaley, who helps to organize volunteer efforts, crackled with energy when discussing the work that has been happening at the Catalyst Loop section of the trail in Washington County. Volunteers have so far cleared some 5,000 yards of the railway of vegetation and debris, and a volunteer event on June 10, will complete the job and allow inspections to begin on railway bridges and trestles. Mahaley said that the plan is to have the loop completely cleared this year before opening sections in 2024, ahead of a full opening in 2025.

“Once that happens, I don’t think you’re going to be able to stop this trail from heading over that mountain because people will be hungry for it,” Mahaley said.

In addition to volunteers for the physical work of clearing the trail, the foundation is also looking for community members who

can help to tell the story of the trail and offer other skills to the project. Mahaley and Fitchett said that that educational component will be key, and offers residents of Tillamook County, where no construction projects are imminent to get involved.

“If you want to help, we’ll find a place for you to help,”

Mahaley said.

The foundation is also working to raise funds and help communities along the trail do the same. Tillamook and Washington Counties both contributed more than six figures to the foundation to facilitate its staffing up, and Travel Oregon and the Washington County Visitors’ Association have also made contributions.

Fitchett is working to identify federal funding sources and the foundation has started to see success with private donors, with a $20,000 challenge grant from the Peace and Ernie Fox Fund on track

to be activated by the end of June. The foundation will also be hosting a fundraising event on June 22, at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro. Fitchett said that for the time being, in addition to reaching out to the foundation to volunteer, interested community members can write an email to Ron Wyden in support of a grant request the foundation has made. That grant would help the Catalyst Loop expand to 11-miles in rural Washington County.

So far, work has begun on initial preparations for two sections of trail in Tillamook County. One will be built by the Tillamook Creamery Association adjacent to the creamery north of Tillamook, and Rockaway Beach is in the early planning stages for a section of the trail that will run from the north to the south end of the city.

Watershed protection group prepares for petition drive

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection held a meeting to organize volunteers to

collect signatures on a petition to stop clearcutting and pesticide spraying in watersheds on the north coast on May 31.

Volunteers will be gathering signatures up and down the coast all summer and the group’s leadership hopes that the petition will increase public and legislative awareness of issues facing watersheds.

Nancy Webster, of Rockaway Beach, said that she had been involved in founding the group more than a decade ago after a pair of loggers warned her that pesticides, they were

spraying were contaminating Jetty Creek, her water source. Webster started Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection at that point and began trying to spread awareness of the issue and to get state officials to take steps to address the problem.

After more than a decade of pursuing that tactic without major success, earlier this year Webster said the group had decided to change their approach.

They decided to start a petition that calls for an end to logging and pesticide use in watersheds on the north

coast, which they hope will help them to gauge public interest and awareness of the issue. They did a soft launch of the petition in April and it had already garnered more than 200 signatures by the end of May.

The group plans to send pairs or small groups of volunteers to various farmers’ markets and popular outdoor recreation sites across Tillamook County this summer to collect signatures this summer.

Manzanita mayor draws heat at budget meeting

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight

Editor

Aspecial meeting of Manzanita’s budget committee became testy on June 2, as councilors and budget members questioned Mayor Deb Simmons’s decision to publish an editorial about her no vote on budget approval.

The editorial, published on the Tillamook County Pioneer’s website, said that Simmons’s no vote had come because of questions that she had about the city’s fiscal policies and situation that she felt were not addressed in the budget.

Simmons has raised questions since her assumption of office in January about the city’s overhead funding allocation model, which allows the city to fund most of its budget from water revenues. She also criticized past councils’ lack of follow through on capital projects in the city and failure to raise utility rates, issues which she

said she hoped the budget committee could help to direct the council on. Simmons was the only no vote against nine ayes for recommending approval of the budget to council in May.

Budget Committee Members Kathryn Stock and Chip Greening said that the request for policy direction fell outside of the budget committee’s purview. They also said that the writing the editorial and raising questions whose answers were available to the mayor instead of bringing them up at prior budget meetings was in poor form.

They also took exception to the mayor’s inclusion of the shortcomings of past city administrations, who had failed to raise the water rate or complete capital projects, in her reasons for voting no.

Budget Committee Member David Dillon also noted that the committee had recommended those actions to past councils but action had not been taken.

Dean and Laurie Schrock Bones celebrate 50 years

Dean and Laurie Schrock Bones celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Friday, June 2nd, 2023. They were each born in Tillamook and grew up four miles apart in and near Beaver, Oregon. Their first date was to a Sonny and Cher concert in 1972. Dean proposed to Laurie on her 20th birthday in front of her grandmother’s waterfall, and they were married at the Church of the Nazarene in Tillamook, Oregon, on June 2nd, 1973.

Dean is a retired teacher, having taught for 32 years combined at Banks Elementary in Banks, Oregon, for 6 years, East Elementary in Tillamook, Oregon, for 13 years, and Beaver Grade School/Nestucca Valley in Beaver, Oregon, for 13 years.

Laurie had a variety of other jobs and is a retired cook and in-home care giver. Dean was involved with the Outdoor School program in Tillamook County co-planning/ planning and do-directing/directing it for 36 years. Together, they ran the Tillamook County Outdoor School program at Camp Meriwether for 18 years with Laurie in charge of the kitchen and food service. Many friends know them by their camp names, Moses and Zippy.

Dean also worked for Tillamook Estuaries Partnership for 11 years planning and directing Down By the Riverside for all of the 3rd graders in the county and 11 years planning and directing Down

By the Riverside for all of the 4th graders in the county, again using the name Moses. Dean & Laurie enjoy spending their time working in their garden, walking at the beach, and traveling to see family, friends and new locations. In addition, Dean loves researching local history while Laurie loves cooking and trying out new recipes. Helping them celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary is their son and wife, Tyler (Becky) Bones of North Pole, Alaska, and their daughter

The budget committee members all agreed that the budget vote was not the place to protest policy issues that fell under the purview of the city council, of which Simmons is a member.

Simmons said that the no vote had been on behalf of citizens of Manzanita who shared her concerns about the budget. She said that it was not necessary in a democracy to have unanimity and that she had voted her conscience.

City Councilors Jerry Spegman, Linda Kozlowski and Jenna Edginton all voiced their frustration at that decision, which they said was part of a theme of hesitancy to work with other councilors by the mayor throughout her young tenure. Spegman said that Simmons’s failure to bring the policy issues up to the council reflected a lack of understanding of her duties and the procedural processes of city government. He also noted that many of the complaints were in the process of being

addressed by City Manager Leila Aman and staff.

Kozlowski then read a prepared statement, that said that the mayor’s publication of the editorial without consultation with the city council represented a breach of rules under the city’s charter. She said that she was deeply disappointed with the situation and asked Simmons to please improve her working relationship with the other councilors.

Simmons said that she was sorry if she had raised her complaints in an inappropriate forum and said that she would like to have a discussion soon about her frayed relationships with the councilors and how to mend them, suggesting an executive session.

Kozlowski said that she felt the discussion should be had in a public meeting, to which Simmons assented, bringing the meeting to a close.

and husband, Kaili (Sam) Ogeto of Auburn, Washington, along with the 5 grandchildren they have been blessed with: Rylee, Raegan, Zuri, Imani, and Ezra. Dean and Laurie share a love and special bond that has strengthened throughout the decades as they draw strength from and have a growing faith in God.

Thank you, Dad & Mom, for your ongoing example of

faith, love and devotion you share with your family and friends. Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!

SOUTH TILLAMOOK COUNTY

VOLTAGE

CONVERSION PROJECT

Beginning on June 6, 2023, Tillamook PUD

crews will be working on a project to convert system power line voltage in the the South Tillamook County area from 20.8 kV to 24.9 kV.

What is voltage conversion and why is it important?

Voltage adjustment improves the efficiency in which electricity is delivered, minimizes power loss, and helps provide alternate power feed options if an unexpected outage occurs. To convert voltage, Tillamook PUD must de-energize the section of the system being worked on for conversion. This consists of a planned power outage for customers in that area. A Tillamook PUD crew then goes to every transformer to set and re-fuse it for the new voltage. When this is completed, Tillamook PUD re-energizes the system with the new voltage.

What locations will be affected and when?

Power outages are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 6 - July 20, 2023, excluding July 4th. Customers will be notified in advance of a planned power outage at their location via a mailed postcard and/or email. Areas from Hebo south to Neskowin, including Pacific City will be part of the planned outage locations. Additional information is posted at www.tpud.org/outages/power-outages/.

GUEST COLUMN: AT THE LIBRARY

Our Library

DONALD ALLGEIER

Library Director

At the beginning of the year the library started gathering community feedback to help inform a strategic plan for the next five years. We received feedback from recent library community surveys and the nine public forums we hosted in January, February, and March. It was great to see and hear from so many people that care about their library. Thank you to all who have participated so far, for sharing your thoughts about the future of the library.

The themes that emerged during the community feedback period include:

• Programming: people expressed a desire to see more cultural and educational programming.

• Hours: there was a lot

of interest in more open hours and particularly open evening hours.

• Technology: folks routinely mentioned a desire to see continued investment in technology and more support for technology help for library users.

• Latino community: many people that we heard from wanted to see the library make strides in being more welcoming to the growing Latino community in Tillamook County.

• Education: community members conveyed their hope to see more support for the public schools and young students in Tillamook County.

While there was plenty of other feedback for the library, these were the areas we heard mentioned repeatedly. It is important to me and the citizen-led Tillamook County Library Board that our next strategic plan is rooted in what we hear from

community members.

One way in which the library is already committed to some of these themes is through the summer reading program. We are gearing up for another exciting summer of reading, programs, and prizes to support youth literacy throughout the summer months. This annual program is supported by the Ready to Read grant issued by the State Library of Oregon and it seeks to get kids excited about reading and get more books into their hands. One of the top indicators for success later in life is the number of books children have access to at a young age, so we encourage everyone to enroll in summer reading this year, take part in the programs that will be available throughout the County, and to read as much as possible. A successful summer reading program helps create a healthier community.

Afew weeks ago, the House Committee On Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources, and Water held an informational hearing on HB 3585, my bill to address the concerns in the current draft of the Department of Forestry’s Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). If you have been following me for any period of time, you have likely heard me talk about this plan and the devastating impacts that it will have on the North Coast, especially Clatsop County.

If this HCP plan moves forward, our communities will likely need to come back to the state for money to backfill the revenue lost due to decreased timber harvests. I strongly disagree with the Governor that our economy is “outdated.”

We talked to the committee about the need for great local involvement and the need to strike a better balance between environmental goals and the economic needs of the local community.

Community leaders from the North Coast came to testify in support of this bill. Thank you, Clatsop County Commissioner Courtney Bangs, Kevin Leahy (the Executive Director of Clatsop Economic Development Resources), and Lindsay Davis (Community Outreach and Stewardship Coordinator for Hampton Lumber & Family Forests) for coming out to support this important effort!

mists estimated a $3.9 billion kicker, Oregonians with an income of $33,000-$58,000 could receive about $820 back.

This revenue forecast means legislators also have more money to invest in critical needs around the state without raising taxes. Budgets reflect priorities, and we must prioritize education, public safety, and housing.

I am proud to help introduce HB 3627, a bill to fully fund our schools to the tune of $10.4 billion. District leaders and teachers have told the Legislature they need at least $10.3 billion to maintain the current service level. Yet the Governor’s Recommended Budget only asked for $9.9 billion, and Legislative Democrats have offered $10.1 billion. It’s time to give our students and teachers what they need!

ethical concerns that she was using her position as Oregon’s Secretary of State for personal gain by acting as La Mota’s lobbyist.

Oregonians’ trust in our public institutions is paramount. We must make real reforms and establish checks and balances to restore confidence following this scandal.

That is why I am supporting House Joint Resolution 16. It would ask voters next election if they want the legislature to have impeachment power over statewide elected officials. Impeachment acts as a deterrent to corrupt behavior among our elected officials. Oregon is the only state in the nation that does not have a process for impeachment.

A few weeks ago, the House voted on several bills that would have made our communities safer (House Bills 2135, 2310, 3603, and House Joint Resolution 29). Unfortunately, none of the bills moved forward.

You may have heard about the resignation of Oregon Secretary of State last month. It came to light through media reports that Fagan had a side hustle (making $10,000 per month, plus a $30,000 bonus for each business license that she helped secure outside of Oregon) for a marijuana company named La Mota. The owners of the troubled cannabis shop also had given Fagan $45,000 in campaign contributions while owing millions in unpaid taxes. We now know the owners of La Mota also owned a business that was caught in 2018 for diverting marijuana to the black market.

All of this raised serious

It’s no secret that Oregon has a serious drug problem. Measure 110 has left thousands of Oregonians behind by increasing access to dangerous drugs, while failing to get those struggling with addiction into treatment. A recent analysis from Willamette Week showed that the system has helped only five people in Multnomah County get into drug treatment and only 37 statewide.

According to a recent statewide poll, 63% of Oregonians support reforming Measure 110 to reinstate criminal penalties for drug possession while still funding services. HB 2310 would have done exactly that. I was proud to support the bill, but unfortunately, it failed on a vote of 30-30.

SUBMISSIONS

Dr. Gibbs is a beloved hematologist-oncologist here at Adventist Health Tillamook. He has worked at the hospital for 36 years, and during that time, he has touched the lives of countless patients and staff members.

Dr. Gibbs is known for his dedication to his patients, sense of humor, and love of life. He is always willing to go the extra mile for his patients, and always has a smile on his face.

Dr. Gibbs started seeing patients once a week in 1987. He would carry in a big Tupperware bin full of patient charts and chemotherapy drugs and, at that time, he administered them himself.

Three and a half decades later, Dr. Gibbs always leaves his patients’ rooms by saying, “Keep smiling.” He is very accommodating in scheduling patients in early on a Wednesday — which means he will have to rush here earlier from his home in Hillsboro and staying till 8 p.m. some nights when he has several new consultations to see.

We all love and admire his energy, humor and commitment to his patients — we are very honored to have Dr. Gibbs as our hematologistoncologist.

When asked, Dr. Gibbs shares this about retirement, “You mean so I can go golfing? This is my golf. I enjoy doing what I do. I guess I can do my pottery and hope someone will buy it to live off of, but I’m not that good,” as he chuckles.

On Dr. Gibbs’ birthday, we all gathered in the break room to celebrate. We brought in cake, ice cream and balloons. We also gave Dr. Gibbs a card signed by all of us.

Dr. Gibbs was so touched by our recognition. He said, “I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful team of colleagues and friends. I love

coming to work every day, and I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do.”

According to the National Cancer Institute, death rates for the leading causes of cancer death — lung, colorectal, pancreatic and breast cancers — are all higher in rural areas. Nationally, rural residents face challenges in accessing healthcare services and often have fewer primary and specialty care physicians and fewer home- and community-based service providers compared to urban areas. Although an estimated 17–20% of the U.S. population resides in rural areas, only 3% of medical oncologists practice in rural communities, and over 70% of counties in the U.S. do not have medical oncologists.

These statistics underscore the importance of Dr. Gibbs in our community. He plays a wide variety of roles as the only oncologist-hematologist in our area, which means he is responsible for providing care to our patients but also collaborates with several other healthcare providers, such as primary care doctors, nurses and pharmacists — all to provide comprehensive, accessible care for their patients in need.

While Dr. Gibbs is available to treat cancers if needed, please remember that the best thing you can do to prevent cancer is eating healthy with plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoiding tobacco, protecting your skin, regular exercise and early detection. Schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to discuss what you can do for an early cancer detection test today.

In good health, Dr. Paul Welch

Memorial Day weekend weather

cooperated for a rain-free get-together in Cape Meares. About 40 people turned out for the community potluck on Sunday, our 20th annual Memorial Day gathering— most of them hosted by BJ Byron, who has lived here for 21 years. Dishes ranged from BJ’s out-of-this-world smoked chicken and pulled pork to a great variety of fruit, vegetable and pasta salads to scrumptious cookies and delicious pies for dessert. Neighbors compared notes on everything from our unusual winter, with its record 13” of snow in Feb., to current fishing conditions (picking up). Everyone here is gearing up for summer visitors; we all get plenty of those. Hope you had a good holiday weekend, too, Fencepost friends.

Capt. Pete and I were privileged to view the Oregon Memorial Traveling Wall at the 2nd Street Plaza in Tillamook over Memorial Day Weekend. This wall is modeled after the Vietnam Veteran Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Oregon version pays tribute to 957 Oregon veterans who died serving their country from 1959-2011 in such conflicts as the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom and others. It is sobering to stand before

My wife and I took the baby twins down to Market Night. Confessionally, I didn’t get much past the entrance. I spent most of my time catching up with Garibaldi Fire & Rescue and Port of Garibaldi staff, and then was put on watch duty as Twins Ranch Catering food truck whipped us up some cheeseburgers and fries. Because of my steadfast attention to all things twins, my wife had the opportunity to visit all the booths and shop for goodies and chat with the vendors. She reported an amazing time. When she finished her rounds and I finished my gabbing, we took said goodies down to Lumberman’s Park to devour our haul and let the twins run around the playground. Between sundown, a slight ocean breeze and the strumming of the band, it couldn’t have been a better night along the water. It was one of those nights I shudder to mention because I don’t want to share it. I want it to be kept a secret, but that wouldn’t be very supportive of me.

Speaking of food trucks and vendors, Garibaldi Portside Bistro is overhauling their menu and supersizing their food truck. As announced on their Facebook page, some old menu favorites are returning including the Big “G” Burger – the burger that can likely feed a small village. It’s on the menu now. And that food cart. Wow. The first one was decked out, but this new one is an 18-footer purchased from Quality Food Trailers of

The Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA) is looking for individuals and local businesses who would like to contribute to our July 4th silent auction. This is the biggest fundraising event of the year for CMCA, and proceeds go toward paying the expenses of the Barbara Bennett Community Center, working on emergency preparedness, putting on community potlucks and much more. Hats off to Cape Meares resident Seasons Kaz Sparks, artist and owner of the business Salty Raven, for being the first to step up and contribute items worth $100 to the silent auction.

A number of Cape Meares residents have been asking about the black rubber strips that were temporarily placed across key intersections in our village—what the heck are they? I called the Tillamook Public Works Dept. to get the scoop. Jasper Lind was kind enough to fill me in, saying the devices gather data on the volume, type and speed of traffic. This information helps the Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) determine speed limits and inform other decisions, such as the upcoming replacement of the temporary bridge on Bayocean Road with a permanent bridge. Many thanks to Tillamook Public Works and ODOT for keeping our road needs on their radar.

Heads up that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) will be holding a webinar on June 14 at 6 p.m. regarding fall salmon regulations.

Itraveled over Memorial Day weekend to the Willamette Valley to tour Schreiner’s Iris Garden near Salem. I strolled with a friend from high school and my Chihuahua Maggie on a pink leash underfoot through several sizable fields of evenly spaced iris plants in full bloom. Each flower showed her own colors in a frilly display and the air smelled like a memory of heaven, had one ever been.

The flowers had names, posted on white markers at the end of the rows. Some favorites were “Sassafrass,” “Gotham City” and the almost black “Devil’s Anvil.” Several had “Nestucca” or Tillamook” in their name and I wondered if their corms were better growers here at the coast. The gardens closed for the season after Memorial Day, but I hope to return next year. The experience was a bargain for the $5 we paid.

In Support of Senator Weber

Iworked with Suzanne Weber for more than a decade at the City of Tillamook. She was the Mayor and I worked as Executive Assistant to the City manager and I also administered the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency (TURA). Suzanne was also elected to the TURA Board of Directors so we worked together many hours a week. While working with

Lastly, as previously noted, Mayor Hall’s town hall was conducted last Wednesday night. Now, they’re town halls, where in heated moments passion and pride can supersede logic by 3 to 1, but while most of the night was expected to be dedicated to the water bill, discussion veered more towards the budget and next steps.

Skip to the end of the page: A lot of this will get solved when the city can hire a new full time city manager. All the other staff members can go back to their own duties full-time, and the office can run like a finely tuned engine. Mayor Hall reaffirmed the proposed plan to go back to the League of Oregon Cities to look for new candidates. But our recent history of lawsuits, audits, deferred public works maintenance and councilor “protest” absences in 2022 appears to be known by every candidate who looks our way.

This is often where business & civic leaders quote Occam’s razor: “The simplest solution is almost always the best.” The plan here is simple: Hire a city manager. It’s the execution, given the circumstances, that is most difficult.

So, I quote a beloved poet to better frame our situation: “You take it on faith / you take it to the heart / the waiting is the hardest part.”

The Rockaway Beach Library opens its Summer Reading programs next week. From June 12 through August 5, the library, as part of the Tillamook County Library System, will offer activities for children, teens, and adults, as well as a calendar of performances and interactive demonstrations throughout the season.

Participants in the children’s program (through age 11) receive a packet containing a bingo card that participants will use to track their weekly reading. “Every child who registers will receive a free book just for signing up,” explained Jessica Moran, the county Bookmobile driver.

The packet also contains instructions on how to complete the activities on the bingo cards and lists everything needed to complete the program. When your kids complete an activity in one square of the bingo card, you check it off as completed. Each row, column, or diagonal you fill will earn your child a free book. “This makes a potential total of thirteen books,” Jessica said.

In addition, take-home crafts will be available in two categories, suitable for ages 2-6 and 7-11, at the beginning of each week at all Tillamook County Library branches. The upper age limit takes into account the grade your child will be entering in the fall; if your 11-year-old child will be entering 6th grade, sign them up for the teen program.

Teen participants (1118) can register online with Beanstack on or after June 12 at https://tillabook.beanstack. org/reader365. Then come to any Tillamook County Library for a magnetic poetry kit and a free book. Teens

who read 600 minutes (10 hours) over the summer will be eligible for the grand prize drawings, which are pretty significant. Rockaway Beach participants, along with Manzanita and Garibaldi, will have a chance to win one of two Pinball Parties from North Coast Pinball in Nehalem.

Adults (19-up) are included as well: keep track of the books you read either at the same Beanstack Web site or by picking up a Reading Log Bookmark. When you’ve read five books, stop by the library to pick up your tote bag. In addition, you’ll be entered in a drawing for one of seven $100 Fred Meyer gift cards. Reading more books will give you extra entries into the drawing: one additional entry per book (up to five additional books).

Readers are also encouraged to include audiobooks, graphic novels, ebooks, fiction, nonfiction, and additional reading material. Check with the Beanstack site for details.

As in years past, the Tillamook Library system has a full schedule of children’s programs, including presentations, movies, and more.

The Rockaway Library starts summer performances on June 27 at 10:30 a.m. with the Matt Baker Comedy and Stunt Show. Baker, a comedian based in Seattle, demon-

strates juggling as part of his act, and is famous for balancing bowling balls in hilarious and entertaining ways. He has previously performed at the Salem library and should provide a fun afternoon for kids here.

As summer draws to a close, the Rockaway Beach library will host the Traveling Lantern theater company at 10:30 a.m. on August 1. Providing an interactive theater experience for children since 1985, Traveling Lantern incorporates children from the audience into fresh interpretations of classic children’s stories.

And as some of you might have noticed last week, the Rockaway Beach Friends of the Library will be attending our summertime Artisan Farmers Market every Thursday through September 28. Stop by and say hello and find out more about the events and news from our library. Be sure to pencil in the Friends of the Library Book Sale over the July 4th weekend.

Summertime activities are especially important for kids in Rockaway Beach, as our demographics have changed over the past decade. The 2010 census found that the average age in Rockaway Beach was 55.5 years. Ten years later, it had dropped to 46.6. A full 24% of Rockaway residents are under 19 years of age, so having activities keyed to kids offers a valuable service for a full quarter of our residents.

If you have relatives or friends coming out for a visit during the summer, they are of course welcome at any of the library’s events for children and teens. Adults of course are also welcome to find a great beach read for a relaxing getaway.

Suzanne we became friends and I began to understand the love she felt for Tillamook and the State of Oregon. Suzanne was on the City Council for many years before being elected as Tillamook City Mayor and held that position for more than a decade. The City flourished under her guidance. She was tireless and dedicated to the people of Tillamook and to the projects and issues put before her. City residents reelected her knowing she could be trusted with doing

the right thing in each circumstance. Suzanne moved on to State government by being elected as a State Representative to the Legislature for her District and then on to become a State Senator. Nothing has changed with Susanne’s character or determination except for the fact she has now found that many of the other State Senators are not following the public state laws of governance set before them in regard to how bills and laws are presented and passed in the State

Capital. She adheres to the laws, and she believes that all other elected public officials should adhere to the law. Suzanne and the other members of the Senate that are not participating in unlawful tactics and standing their ground for full disclosure and adherence to the public laws and ethics are doing this for the people they serve. If you are a law abiding citizen you should be supporting Suzanne and the other members of the Senate as they continue to protest the unlawful tactics of other

State Senators. The protesting Senators are doing this for you and generations of Oregonians to come by not allowing rouge politicians to run amuck with disregard to the laws. Accountability for one’s actions builds character and holding another accountable for unlawful acts is good for everyone.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Manzanita – Enclave for the Rich?

When Manzanita’s City Manager said at a recent Budget Meeting that employees can’t live in Manzanita because the average house costs $850,000, I began to wonder about the source and whether it was accurate. That and comments by others give the impression that Manzanita is a wealthy enclave and by extension that expenses and increases in taxes and fees are of little importance to the well-to-do living here or having second homes here. I doubted that.

Tillamook County’s Assessor office sent a report to me on the Assessed Value and Real Market Value for every house and lot in Manzanita.

The report included data on 1493 residences with an average value of $799,000, a little different than the City Manager’s report.

Beyond that, averages can be deceiving. A histogram of each of the housing data points for the real market value of homes in Manzanita shows a distribution skewed to the left with a few expensive properties bringing up the average. The standard deviation is $380,000 with 66% of houses between $420,000 and $1,180,000 and 95% between $40,000 and $1,560,000.

The median(middle) housing cost turns out to be lower still. Looking just at housing after eliminating motels and retail stores, the value of the middle house is $690,000, 20% below the $850,000 assumption. Fully one half of the houses are below that level and one half above that level. Not addressed are how long homes have been owned, the purchase price and related mortgages all of which affects the situations of homeowners. Housing costs are one measure. Incomes are a another of Manzanita’s wellbeing.

According to Experian, GfK Mediamark Research and Intelligence LLC, Vintage 2020, Dun and Bradstreet, Applied Geographic Solutions, and Alteryx, Inc. demographic studies, the following describes City of Manzanita and Oregon incomes:

ManzanitaOregon

LEGAL NOTICES

This shows that our wealthy enclave has lower incomes than Oregon as a whole and that many households are operating on tight budgets.

So, with the recently passed Nehalem Bay Health District Bond measure passing, this will add 37 cents per thousand dollars of home assessment for up to the next 26 years, many households do notice the cost. Thirty-seven cents sounds affordable, but most homeowners will pay $2000 -$6000 toward the assessment during the next 20 years. Voters approved it. Budgets will endure the annual 3% increase in assessed value for regular property taxes and food and energy inflation of the last two years. Many people and their household budgets notice the pinch.

The points are three:

- Manzanita residents have a broad range of incomes and housing values. We are not all the same.

- City Council should not assume increased water fees, possible new street utility fees and tax levies do not matter. They do matter and they really matter for many residents.

- If we are to be paying possible cost increases for water charges, street utility fees or a new City Hall, we deserve an opportunity to vote on the increases.

Is Manzanita an enclave of the wealthy? Hardly. We are more an enclave of the pretty much like everywhere else.

In the tight economy facing us, I wonder if the City Council will reduce expenses or staffing to offset cost increases? It does not appear so. Many citizens are dealing with tight budgets by making reductions elsewhere. Is City Council doing this? Or is it simply passing along more and more expense to its citizens?

Six Mooks get all-league nod

For The Headlight Herald

The Tillamook High Cheesemakers had six players selected for OSAA Class 4A Cowapa League All League Awards in postseason voting by the coaches of the five-team league.

Tillamook High graduated seniors Cade Ross, Parker McKibbin, Trevor Leonnig and Bryce Hamerl each earned a Cowapa League First Team All League Award. Tillamook graduated senior Tyler Moncrief and freshman pitcher Jakoby Goss both received Cowapa League Honorable Mention Award.

The Cheesemakers had five players selected for Cowapa League Softball All League Awards. Juniors Makinley Nielsen and Aracely Viramontes Morales and graduated senior Gabi Garcia earned Cowapa League First Team All League Awards. Nielsen also earned a Designated Player-of-the-Year All League Award.

Tillamook High graduated senior pitcher Tori Pesterfield and sophomore infielder Hannah Obrist both earned Cowapa League Honorable Mention Awards.

Shayla Hillstrom (100 Hurdles & 300 Hurdles)

Emily Skaar (Long & Triple Jump)

From Coach Kye Johnson: Obviously we would have liked to score more team points at the state championships but I’m proud of all the athletes who went and competed. It was a competitive 4A field this year and we came away with less than we wanted. Hopefully that’s a motivator for our athletes and coaches as we head into the off-season and our other sports.

This is the second year in a row Shayla has made the podium in both hurdle events, Judah wound up having the second-best decathlon score in the

entire state at all levels this spring. Zeyon still wound up with one of the best high jump marks in the state this year. There were a lot of good things going on. We increased our numbers a bunch. We have good numbers in the lower grades so we’ll just keep getting more competitive by the year, I think. We’re still a ways away from where we want to be as a program in terms of results but we’re not going to change our goals and expectations of building a winning program.

Nestucca results: The Cats have a State Champion in the pole vault, Makayla Webber! She cleared 8-2.75 on her very last jump to run the title!

his absence, several meetings had been held to address concerns the other commissioners had had similar to his.

Bell said she was in favor of approving the lease and both she and Skaar voted in favor, while Yamamoto abstained.

The declaration of June

as “Celebrate Local Food Month” in Tillamook County came in support of the efforts of Food Roots, an organi-

zation that has promoted awareness and support of local food options in the county.

Juneteenth will be recognized by the county on June 19, with staff not required to maintain critical services receiving a day off. Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021 and recognizes the abolition of slavery.

After dealing with their regular agenda, the commis-

STR OWNERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 update.

Those opposing the ordinance were all either owners or operators of STRs, or would be owners or operators, and a pattern quickly emerged in their testimony. Most commenters would share that they had been visiting the Tillamook coast for decades before deciding to buy or construct a second home that they would subsidize through short-term rental operation before retiring there before enumerating their issues with the proposed ordinance.

These commenters said that the new ordinance was unnecessary and amounted to overreach by the county government, imposing excessive rules and regulations on STRs. They expressed concern about losing their property rights with the new cap, saying that certain homes would be unable to meet the new code requirements, forcing them out of the

program. They said that the proposed cap was not backed by data and complained that certain requirements were more stringent than those for long-term rentals and other homeowners.

They stressed their importance to the county’s economy and contended that their rentals had not been operated in an unneighborly way.

They said that despite the county’s attempts to avoid turning the ordinance into a land use issue, they believed that it was and at least one commenter alluded to a potential legal challenge before the land use board of appeals.

One commenter, a real estate agent, presented a petition with over 600 signatures asking that no new restrictions be placed on STRs and that the county instead focus on enforcing the existing ordinance. The few commenters without a vested interest in STRs who spoke at the meet-

sioners held a public hearing about the expansion of the Avalon Heights/Cougar Ridge subdivision in Oceanside. The subdivision was built with this expansion in mind but had been delayed multiple times due to issues with the planning process.

The subdivision’s developer said that he was frustrated with the slow progress and needed the approval to determine whether he would

ing were in favor of the new ordinance.

After the public comment ended, Commissioner David Yamamoto expressed his concern about the process that would be used to bring existing STRs into compliance. Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said that she shared concerns of owneroperators about the thirtyminute response requirement for complaints being difficult to meet for those without a management company.

A second public hearing on the proposed ordinance will be held on June 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the main conference room at the Port of Tillamook Bay.

Commissioners are then expected to vote on a final version of the ordinance at their regular meeting on June 21. They are also expected to vote to end the pause they instituted last July at that meeting, which would allow its expiration, as planned,

continue with the project or be forced to abandon plans for other work. Commissioners apologized for the delays and voiced their enthusiasm for the project, which will be completed in three phases to be completed this year and in 2025 and 2027. The approval will be formalized at the board’s June 21 meeting, allowing the developer to begin the platting process.

on July 1, with the program accepting new applications under the guidelines set forth in the updated ordinance.

For additional information on the proposed ordinance update check the Headlight Herald website and watch future editions or online for updates to this developing story.

Marilyn Fletcher, 75, of Tillamook, OR, passed away at home on May 26th, 2023. Marilyn lived a full and happy life with a family who loved her deeply. She was known for her dark humor, quick wit, compassionate nature, whimsical style, and terrible driving.

She enjoyed reading mystery novels, refurbishing old furniture, and garage sale hunting with her grandkids. Marilyn was an amazing mother, grandmother, wife, and sister who will be missed more than words can express. Marilyn was predeceased by her parents, Orvil and Mary Irvin, and her first husband Dr. Mark McConaughy. She is survived by her husband Bricker (Chip) Fletcher, her daughters Molly (Tom) Lust and Megan (Jeremy) McKenzie, her grandchildren Madison, Callum, Bobby, and Maggie, her sister LouDeen Adamson, and brothers Carl (Annette) Irvin and George (Kathy) Campbell. No services will be held per Marilyn’s request.

survival supplies. When all these supplies are deployed, the containers are designed to sustain 20 emergency support personnel and 80 survivors for two weeks.

In a major disaster scenario, the assembled facility would serve as a point for assembly and distribution of people and supplies for the north coast.

Small helicopters would be used to ferry survivors in need of medical attention or evacuation to the facility from points on the north coast. Once there, survivors would be evaluated by medical staff, who would determine whether they could return to their homes or if they need to be evacuated further over the Coast Range.

Larger helicopters would be used for those evacuations and to deliver emergency workers and supplies to the airport, whence they would be distributed along the coast. ODHS officials noted that anybody visiting the coast during an emergent event would be prioritized for evacuation back to their home. The Conex containers do not contain many medical supplies, according to the ODHS officials who spoke at the meeting. Instead, the agency maintains a central stockpile of supplies that it distributes on an as-needed basis in emergencies.

The containers were placed at the Port of Tillamook Bay because of its location outside of the tsunami inundation zone, meaning

that they should survive even a maximum Cascadia zone subduction event. ODHS is in the process of placing another set of containers at the Siletz Bay State Airport in Lincoln County and is working to identify a suitable site on the south coast for more. Although the containers were designed to respond to a large seismic event leading to a tsunami, their contents can also be deployed partially or in whole in response to other disasters, like power outages, wildfires or potable water shortages.

The initial deployment of the kits will be the responsibility of local officials in Tillamook before ODHS staff are able to arrive to support their efforts. Each of the smaller tents takes two people about ten minutes to erect, while complete setup takes around an hour per. ODHS officials will return to Tillamook later this summer for a day-long class with more detailed information on the containers’ contents and its assembly for emergency response officials and volunteers. Sometime after that, they plan to return for a two-day training, where they will unload and assemble the evacuation assembly point before breaking it down and returning it to the containers.

The ODHS officials said that the containers contents are scalable and that they plan to deliver a satellite communications system later this year to enhance the communications capabilities of the command center.

Hi, my name is Chula.

I’m a beautiful little brown tabby girl. I’m about two and a half months old. My momma had us four kittens under a friendly human’s porch. They took care of Momma and got her spayed, but they couldn’t keep us kittens, so the nice United Paws ladies took us in. Now, the time has come for us to find our forever homes. I’m SO excited! I would make an excellent family cat! I love little humans,but I haven’t met any under 5. If they are calm, it should be great, because I’m very confident and outgoing and I love attention!

I’ve heard about dogs, but I’ve never met one. I will run to greet new people, and I recently met a family group of 11 from her foster family. I couldn’t get enough of all of them! So many loves and pets. Wow! I’m a very busy kitten, and I would be lonely and maybe getting into mischief if I was the only cat in a quiet household. Adopting me with another kitten or if you have another cat or a cat friendly dog at home is a must. I’m ready,

willing and able to take care of you. Here’s the app that you’ll need to make your home happier. Ask for Chula. https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/ online-adoption-application
