Old Fashioned Country Fun at Tillamook County Fair Will Chappell Headlight Editor

Locals and visitors flocked to the Tillamook County fairgrounds from August 5 to 8, for the 135th annual Tillamook County Fair, which celebrated a theme of Old Fashioned Country Fun. All the traditional entertainment was there, from afternoon horse races to evening concerts, carnival rides to Pigs n Fords, and the event even drew a visit from Oregon Governor Tina Kotek on its first day. The fair got rolling on Wednesday with an opening ceremony before FFA and 4H shows throughout the afternoon in Aufdermauer Arena and the livestock pavilion, and familyfriendly performances on the courtyard stage, including from hypnotist Tammy Barton. That evening, after the Pig n Fords

first night of races, country star Niko Moon serenaded fairgoers to kick off the concert series. Thursday saw more FFA and 4H shows throughout the day, as fairgoers enjoyed the second day of quarter horse and thoroughbred racing and carnival rides from Rainier Amusements. Oregon’s 234th Army Band closed the day with an evening performance. On Friday, Collective Soul took the stage in the evening to cap the week of concerts, following a day of activities that included performances from Washboard Willie’s Jamboree and the junior livestock auction in the evening. The fair concluded on Saturday, with the championship race for the Pig n’ Ford Association leading into the demolition derby, before closing ceremonies.

Tillamook Council discusses downtown parking permitting Will Chappell Headlight Editor

T

illamook City Councilors discussed a two-tier parking permit system that city staff have crafted in response to concerns from downtown business owners as part of an ongoing update to the city’s codes at their August 3 meeting. The system would see the lot adjacent to the Tillamook Eagles’ lodge become reserved parking for permit holders and passes sold for unlimited parking without a guaranteed spot at two other city lots, across Ivy Avenue from that lot and at the corner of Stillwell Avenue and First Street, with revenues going to support a new, part-time parking enforcement officer. The code update would also see fines for parking violations increased. Councilors were supportive of the concept but delayed a first reading until their next meeting amid questions about the verbiage regarding the maximum penalty allowed and whether fines would count cumulatively against the maximum. Council also voted unanimously in favor of the second reading of an ordinance that will ban the storage

of RVs and trailers in the city’s rights of way and limit the storage of cars to 72 hours. That code update will go into effect September 3. Discussions around downtown parking have been ongoing since last year, as business owners relying on foot traffic have complained that other business owners habitually monopolize parking in the city’s downtown core, overstaying posted parking limits and deterring customers from frequenting their stores and restaurants. City code currently includes a $5 fine for parking violations and the city’s police department does not have staff available to conduct parking enforcement. In early May, Tillamook city staff hosted a summit to discuss the issue with business owners, determining that business owners wanted to dedicate certain lots to parking for employees of downtown businesses and downtown residents and that they were willing to pay a fee to access that parking and fund enforcement. Since then, Lewis and staff have been working to craft the framework for a See parking, Page A7

n the middle of a hotly contested campaign for reelection, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek toured Tillamook County on August 5, visiting local

businesses and the Tillamook YMCA before finishing her day at the Tillamook County Fair. Kotek told the Headlight Herald that though this was her first public appearance in Tillamook County since her election in 2022, she had visited previ-

ously but preferred smaller meetings to town halls favored by Oregon’s federal representatives. “I like the town halls, but I also like the opportunity to sit See kotek, Page A4

an interim city manager was needed. Kozlowski said she, Councilor Brad Hart and Crist had asked Jensen Strategies, the firm helping with the recruitment of a full-time city manager, to provide a person to fill the position and they had recommended Waffle, who works for the firm. As interim city manager, Waffle will coordinate day-to-day operations at the city with Crist, including executing contracts, coordinating departments’ operations, implementing policies and ordinances passed by council, and managing internal administrative workflow, while serving as the direct report for department heads. Hart gave a brief overview of Waffle’s resumé, saying that he had served across many areas of city governments, most recently as the assistant city manager and assistant finance director for Beaverton. Waffle thanked the council for the honor of being selected and said that he planned to be in Manzanita two days a week, while working the rest of the time from Cornelius. Kozlowski also gave an update on the recruitment process, saying the search committee had selected four finalists from among 31 applicants. Those finalists will be in Manzanita in the last week of August, with a town hall to meet residents scheduled for August 25 at 6 p.m. at city hall and three panel interviews with community members, peer administrators and staff set for the 26th, before city council meets in executive session on the 27th, with the goal of selecting a candidate and making an offer on the 28th.

Oregon’s T.P. Freight Lines suspends operations and fails to pay its workers Teamsters Joint Council 37

O

regon based T.P. Freight Lines abruptly notified its employees on August 4th that they were immediately suspending all operations and that employees were not to report to work until further notice. T.P. Freight also failed to make payroll on August 5th, amounting to at least two weeks of previously earned and now unpaid wages to its employees. T.P. Freight has been in business in Oregon since 1922 and came under new ownership in June 2025. The purported owner of T.P. Freight is Mohamed Hegab. It is not clear if Hegab has any experience running a trucking company, and he is claimed to

be faculty at the California State University - Northridge. With terminals in Eugene, Medford, Portland, Tillamook and Warrenton, T.P. Freight trucks have been a familiar sight on Oregon highways. When employees in Warrenton reported to work on the morning of August 3rd, they were unable to enter the terminal as the landlord had changed the locks and placed a lien on the property. Similar action happened at the terminal in Eugene on August 4th. Employees had also been without health insurance for more than a month as T.P. Freight also failed to pay employee health care premiums and were also months behind in contributions to employee retirement accounts.

Customers are also impacted. T.P. Freight’s largest account is the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC). Strict regulations govern the sale and transport of alcohol in Oregon and any OLCC shipments that could end up lost or stranded due to the suspension of T.P Freight’s operations raise the potential for serious public safety concerns. The drivers and dock workers at T.P. Freight are represented by the Teamsters Union. The workers and union put forth good faith efforts to make T.P. Freight successful. The more than 100-year labormanagement relationship is evidence of that. Unfortunately, the workers and union efforts were not enough to overcome the financial and operational

Whether they have questions about elections, recording documents, marriage licenses, passports, property records, or other services

and talk with folks, having these meetings with the businesses in town, the nonprofit providers,” Kotek said, “so they tend to be smaller conversations, but I think I’m pretty accessible.” Kotek’s day began with a visit to the Port of Tillamook Bay, where she toured the facilities of Aerostar, which specializes in high-altitude flights. The governor then attended a lunch at the Tillamook County Creamery Association with local elected officials, before visiting the Tillamook YMCA. At the fair, Kotek visited the 4H and FFA livestock displays, visiting with several students about their cow, turkey and rab-

bit projects, before taking a turn through the fair’s exhibit hall, sampling a variety of local honeys from the Tillamook Beekeepers’ Association and looking at the various arts, crafts, flowers, fruits and vegetables on display. Asked by the Headlight Herald about the potential for repairs to Oregon Highway 6 as part of an anticipated transportation package in 2027’s long legislative session, Kotek said that she wanted to have a discussion across the state about ways to make sure that critical road links like Highway 6 are properly maintained. “The plan for next year is to have a statewide conversation about how we pay for the basics in Oregon,” Kotek said. “And for me, it’s places like Highway 6, because they have to be maintained, they need to be supported and frankly, that goes to the top of the

list instead of brand-new products.” Kotek said that she had taken control of appointing the Oregon State Forester last year to ensure that the position was accountable to an elected official, rather than the appointed board of forestry. Kotek also said that she supported the habitat conservation plan (HCP) for Western Oregon State Forests passed by the Oregon Board of Forestry in 2024 and the forest management plan for those forests passed last month, and that she felt they provided consistent harvest opportunities. “I think it’s a really smart way to say, look, there are multiple benefits for the forest and we need timber production, how do we make sure it can actually happen on that consistent basis,” Kotek said. “And that’s what the HCP and forest management

Club meets on the last Monday of each month in the Barbara Bennett Community Center. The next meeting is August 31 at 2 p.m. The topic is “summer reading”: Share a book you have read

this summer. Sounds like fun. All Cape Meares readers are welcome to attend. If you have questions about the book club, please email Mary Gordon at capemearesca@gmail.com.

council’s business meeting on August 17th at 5:30 p.m., in city hall. That agenda is being prepared. Here is important information from the last council meeting. A public service announcement on fats, oil and grease. Fats, oils and grease can accumulate inside sewer service laterals and city sewer mains, causing blockages, backups, property damage and costly emergency responses. Commercial businesses that prepare or serve food should ensure that all required grease traps or grease interceptors are properly installed, maintained, inspected and cleaned on a routine schedule. These devices must be kept in working condition to prevent grease from entering the public sewer system. Residents should never pour cooking oil, grease or fat down a sink, drain or toilet. Instead, allow the material to cool, place it in a sealed metal can or glass jar, and dispose of it in the garbage. Pots,

pans and dishes should also be wiped with a paper towel before washing. Hot water and dish soap do not eliminate grease; they only move it farther into the sewer system, where it can cool, harden and cause a blockage. Let us all help maintain the city’s sewer system by paying attention to what we put into it. Thank you. And from our favorite librarian, we are reminded that while summer reading has wrapped up, the fun is not over. Prizes may still be claimed until July 31, and there are still a few take home crafts available for kids. Also, the movie “FernGully: The Last Rainforest” will be showing Saturday, August 15, 3:30 p.m. at the Tillamook Coliseum Theater. Admission is free for Tillamook County Library Summer Reading participants. Seating is limited, so early arrival is recommended. Free summer lunches are still available at city hall and the library Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m.

he Rockaway Cedar Preserve Trail is a unique hike through an old growth cedar grove. The 1.2-mile easy loop is a developed accessible boardwalk with the trail head located on Hwy 101 just north of Washington Street. Protected by the Nature Conservancy, the highlight of the trail is a giant western red cedar. This tree is more than 500 years old, it is 154 feet tall, with a circumference of 50 feet and is one of the largest trees in Oregon. There is another historical park just a couple

barbara trout blocks west of the Cedar Preserve, it’s the Twin Rocks Turnaround, which is a free Tillamook County Parks day-use, and beach access park. The park is located at 971 S. Breaker, the property was donated to Tillamook County for a park by Edith and her son Ed Hart in the 1960s, Ed continued to live there until his death. Edith and her husband Ed Hart Sr. moved to Twin Rocks in the spring of 1912, with their sevenyear-old son Ed Jr. The Harts lived in a tent in the early days, but when Ed Sr. became ill, he went to Portland, never returned and later died. Edith continued with the plan of a cottage rental business with a store and post office. The Hart home was built with rooms to rent

upstairs, and there were small cabins in the back. Due to the view of Twin Rocks, they named the home “Rock View Villa.” Edith circulated a petition to establish a Twin Rocks post office, it opened as a summer post office in 1914, and became a yearround post office two years later. Edith maintained support for the Twin Rocks post office for the entire 40 years of its operation, and was very disappointed at its closure. Edith remained active in Twin Rocks social activities until her death in 1966. Her son Ed worked as a merchant seaman for eight winters before World War II, and four years after the war. When he returned from the service, he worked as a cheesemaker at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, and died in 1997. Ed envisioned an oceanfront promenade like the one they have in Seaside, which is why he named it the “Twin Rocks Turn-

around.” There are two ADA parking spaces with additional parking across the street. In the park there are two ADA picnic tables, and two benches dedicated to the Harts. Edith’s faces inland because of her dedication to the community, and Ed’s faces west due to his love of the ocean. There is a paved walkway to the ocean where you will see a fantastic view of Twin Rocks. This is a wonderful hidden gem in Rockaway, honoring Twin Rocks pioneers who donated their property for future generations to enjoy.

system to respond to those requests. At the August 3 meeting, Lewis prefaced his presentation on the proposed permit system by clarifying that the city only controls three lots in downtown Tillamook, the two on the south side of the intersection of Ivy Avenue and Second Street and the smaller lot at the corner of Stillwell Avenue and First Street, with all other lots controlled by other entities. Given that limited control, Lewis said that he was suggesting that the lot adjacent to the Eagles’ lodge become a reserved lot for 27 passholders, who would be guaranteed one of 27 spaces in the lot seven days a week, around the clock. For the other two lots, Lewis proposed maintaining the four-hour posted time limit for parking, while selling a less expensive pass that would allow holders to use the lots without a time limit from Monday to Saturday. Prices for the passes will be set not in the codeupdating ordinance, but by council resolution once the ordinance, which establishes the framework for the

system, is adopted. Lewis said that he had investigated the prices charged by other lot owners in town for spaces and was recommending that the more expensive pass be sold for $250 a quarter, and the less expensive for $150. Lewis said that passes would not be tied to a specific car and explained that the plan would be for passes to go on sale in mid-September, with the new regulations to take effect at the beginning of October. While the passes will initially be sold on a quarterly basis, Lewis explained that he expects to move to annual passes next July, to align with the city’s fiscal year. The other portion of the proposed ordinance is an increase to the fine for parking violations, which is currently $5. Lewis said that he had looked at the fines imposed for parking violations by other cities around Oregon and found that $50 to $75 was the typical range for penalties. Lewis said that the code update contained language setting the fine at $250. While not enumerated in the ordinance, Lewis said that the revenue generated by the parking passes would be used to pay for a new, part-time parking enforcement officer who would be housed in the code enforcement division of the police department. Lewis said that

the new employee would work an irregular schedule to provide enforcement at different times throughout the week. Councilors were supportive of the proposal and were on track for a first reading until Councilor Justin Aufdermauer raised a question about the maximum fine for parking illegally downtown. Aufdermauer said that he favored a $50 fine but that he would also like to see larger fines for repeat offenders, believing that many of the current scofflaws would not be phased by a $50 fine, an idea other councilors supported. Lewis said that he was not sure if and how the ordinance could incorporate Aufdermauer’s suggestion and that he would need to check with the city’s legal counsel to find an answer. Deputy City Recorder Chelsea Hollis advised that given the uncertainty, the council should delay a vote on the first reading, as updates to ordinances’ language is only allowed between the first and second readings, making scheduling a second reading premature given the question. Agreeing that Aufdermauer’s suggestion should be explored, council voted unanimously to table the first reading of the ordinance until their next meeting on August 17.

heeler city councilors hosted a town hall on August 4, to update residents on discussions about ways to increase city revenues and solicit their feedback. Councilors floated the possibility of a prepared food tax or forming an urban renewal district in the city, while acknowledging the challenges of pursuing either option, though discussions centered on a citizen initiative proposal that would amend the city’s code to allow shortterm rentals (STR), which are currently banned, and is working its way toward the November ballot. Mayor Denise Donohue started the town hall by saying that city leaders were trying to give residents an honest and transparent picture of the city’s financial situation and the opportunities that exist to improve it in the future. Councilor Kate Cloran then discussed the current budgetary situation, saying that the city’s general fund is operating with a $166,000 structural gap this year, as it is projected

to take in $293,000 in revenues and have $459,000 in expenses. Cloran explained that the gap was covered by transfers from the city’s other funds, such as water and sewer, to account for the time city staff spends administering the programs overseen by those funds. Cloran said that the percentage of the general fund revenues coming from those transfers has been increasing in recent years and that the city needs to find alternate revenue sources to ensure long-term financial stability. Cloran said that restrictions on increasing property taxes imposed by measures 5 and 50 meant that the city could not look to property taxes to solve the problem or cost cut their way out of the crunch. City Manager Paul Shively chimed in to discuss city staff’s consistent efforts to secure outside funding for projects, pointing to a $120,000 grant from Business Oregon to support a project on Hemlock Street, a $300,000 grant from the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay to purchase Conex containers

with emergency supplies and a $46,000 grant from the Tillamook Coast Visitors’ Association to install new pavers in the city’s waterfront park as examples. Cloran said that there was no magic bullet to address the issue and that the council wanted to be sure not to create more problems for future governments in crafting solutions. Councilor Mary Leverette then discussed two options. The first was the possibility of a prepared food tax like a 5% one approved by Cannon Beach voters in 2021. Leverette said that she had visited four restaurants in Cannon Beach and been told by servers that diners did not seem to mind the tax and by city staff that it was generating lots of revenue. However, Leverette said that she did not feel it would be wise for Wheeler to make the move unilaterally, though she hoped that efforts by elected officials from Wheeler and other cities across the county to promote a countywide fee would be successful. The second was the formation of an urban renewal district, which would cap property taxes in the city for five years with increases in property taxes being invested in projects to promote economic growth for that period. While this could lead to a long-term growth in revenues for the city, Leverette said that in the short-term it would mean a stagnation and explained that the process for forming a district was complicated and time consuming. Cloran then jumped back in to say that staff and councilors were working to update the city’s system development charges, fees levied for new developments to connect to the city’s water and sewer infrastructure, to boost revenue. Overall, Cloran acknowledged that the city’s options for increasing revenue were limited and that the possibility of allowing STRs, which are currently forbidden in the city’s residential zones and not mentioned in the allowed uses for other zones, warranted discussion. Cloran said that the city’s economic development committee, of which she is chair, had commissioned a survey on the subject, fielding 106 responses, the majority of which were opposed to allowing STRs because of concerns about their impact on the affordability of housing and noise and other quality of life issues. The STR question was brought to a head last month when a citizen initiative proposal was submitted to the city to amend its code to allow for STRs. While the initial language of the petition was rejected, Shively told the Headlight Herald in an email that he expected a proposal with updated language to be resubmitted soon. When meeting attendees were invited to share their thoughts on revenue, almost all focused their comments on the STR question, with a slight majority opposing allowing the properties in the city. Those opposed to allowing the properties said they worried about their changing the town’s character, with several saying they had chosen to live in Wheeler specifically because of the prohibition. Those in favor of allowing the properties said that the city could not afford to continue forgoing the revenue and argued that the negative impacts of the properties could be mitigated if they were limited to certain areas of the city, specifically the waterfront.

Residents tour Nehalem forest Will Chappell Headlight Editor

A

group of around 25 Nehalem residents ventured into the woods on August 6, visiting a portion of city-owned forest that provides drinking water for the town. The tour was part of the public outreach being conducted by city’s elected leaders and staff as they work with Sustainable Northwest and Mason, Bruce and Girard to develop a new forest management plan (FMP) for the property. Mayor Phil Chick welcomed the group at city hall, saying that he appreciated people making time for the tour as it was important to city council to gather public input and incorporate it into the FMP. Chick introduced Public Works Director Brian Moore, Maintenance Specialist Chuck Mumm, Daniel Wear from Sustainable Northwest and Brent Keller from Mason, Bruce and Girard, who would be leading the tour. The group then proceeded to the tour’s first stop at the reservoir and intake on Bob’s Creek, where water is impounded and gathered before it is transported through 8,000 feet of pipe to the city’s drinking water treatment plant. Moore said that the reservoir held around 75,000 gallons and was contained by a concrete dam built in the 1950s, replacing a stone structure built in the 1930s. Moore also pointed out a tie-in that allowed the city to use water from an unnamed creek during large rain events and said that the capability to pull up to 100 gallons a minute from the nearby Anderson Creek had recently been added, though never used. Moore said that the intake adjacent to the dam typically provided around 150 gallons of water a minute, sufficient to meet the demand of around 140 gallons a minute during the city’s busy summer season. The group then proceeded to a second stop where Keller, who serves as the city’s forester, discussed the forest. Keller said that no chemicals were used in managing the forest, which predominantly consists of a mix of fir and hemlock, with a desired one to four ratio between the species to prevent Swiss Needle Cast, a fungus infecting coastal fir that restricts growth. Keller said that the city’s current FMP was essentially a harvest plan, not focusing on any other forest functions, but that the new document, which he will be writing based on city council’s input,

Keller discusses the various timber sales that have occurred across the city’s forest over the past decades, the vast majority of which have been purchased and logged by Hampton Lumber.

will cover a range of issues, including conservation and water quality. In the years between 2006 and 2024, timber harvests in the forest netted the city a little over $3 million, helping to fund the construction of a new city hall, and it will fall to councilors to strike a balance between revenues provided by the forest and an increased desire among the citizenry to manage the forest for water quality with little or no harvest in the watershed. Even if city leaders should decide not to continue selling timber harvests in the forest, Keller said it would be necessary to continue maintenance of the forest given its history and that it serves as the town’s drinking water source. The latter fact means that the dam, culverts, piping and other infrastructure on Bob’s Creek and the roads accessing it will need to be maintained, while the former means some amount of ongoing forestry activity will be necessary to maintain the forest’s functionality. That is because of the reforestation practices used following the 13 timber sales in the forest over the last 40 years, that have seen around 450 trees planted per acre against a desired density of 250 mature trees per acre. Keller explained that foresters planted more trees to ensure sufficient

density in areas with rocky soil or other constraining factors, but that the practice necessitated thinning operations to occur around 15 years after reforestation to

reduce competition. Keller said there were several portions of the forest that currently or would soon need thinning. Keller said that while he

would follow city leaders’ guidance when writing the plan, it was important to account for the costs of maintaining the forest, around half of which lies

outside the Bob’s Creek watershed. The group made a final stop at a higher point on Bob’s Creek then returned to city hall.

Moore details the functioning of the city’s water system at the 75,000-gallon reservoir on Bob’s Creek in the city-owned forest.
