Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

illamook County Health Department reported during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Aug. 25, 361 positive COVID-19 cases in a two-week period, and a record high for Tillamook County.

The previous record high was 103 cases in a two-week period in late December through early January.

“In a seven day period between Aug. 15 and 21, we had 180 cases,” Administrator Marlene Putman said.

“Our weekend case count was 49.”

Putman said the county has had 11 confirmed deaths, with one pending confirmation that the health department learned of Tuesday, Aug.

24.

“These individuals, nine of them were unvaccinated and two of them with no vaccine record, which we under our current protocol, presume to be unvaccinated,” Putman said.

The health department on Aug. 24 reported five new COVID-19 related deaths in the county, with an increase in deaths over the last several days. Tillamook County’s seventh COVID-19 associated death is a 49-year-old man from Tillamook County who died on Aug. 18. Tillamook County’s eighth COVID-19 associated death is an 80-year-old man from Tillamook County who died on Aug. 21.

Presence of underlying conditions is being confirmed. On Aug. 27, Oregon Health Authority reported the death of a 78-year-old man from Tillamook County who tested positive on Aug. 16 and died on Aug. 26 at Adventist Health Tillamook. Presence of underlying conditions is being confirmed.

Oregon School Boards Association announced Tuesday, Aug. 24, the death of Tillamook School Board member Mike Gardner. Gardner had also served on the Tillamook PUD board. An article from the association stated Gardner had not been vaccinated because he had a paralyzed diaphragm from a rare flu vaccine side effect and he was advised to never get another vaccination.

According to the article, Gardner died Monday, Aug. 23, of a heart attack brought on by COVID-19 and an underlying health condition. Read more at https://bit.ly/2Wlbsh7 The health department is monitoring 14 active outbreaks, eight of which are pending.

cases, Stimson Lumber with 18 cases, Tillamook Youth Correctional Facility with 17 cases, Tillamook County Creamery Association with 10 cases, and Tillamook Country Smoker with six cases.

Gov. Kate Brown announced Aug. 24 new statewide outdoor mask requirements. Effective Friday, Aug. 27, masks will be required in most public outdoor settings, including large outdoor events, where physical distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status. The health department asks the public to adhere to the guidelines.

Even with the mask mandates, the health department is encourag-

Father, son arrested after shooting incident T

For the Herald

illamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) deputies and officers from Tillamook Police Department (TPD) and Oregon State Police (OSP) responded Thursday, Aug. 26, to a residence in the South Prairie area of Tillamook County to locate two suspects that were involved in an altercation and subsequent shooting incident, which had occurred earlier that morning.

“Travis Sherva, 42, and Ryen St Michell, 21, father and son, both of Tillamook, were arrested following a disturbance and assault which occurred in the early hours of Thursday within the Tillamook city limits, and then escalated into a shooting incident that occurred within the county,” said TCSO Detective Sgt. Michelle Brewer. “No one was injured in the shooting incident.”

According to the sheriff’s office, Sherva, St Michell and two other people finally exited the residence peacefully after several minutes of being called out by law enforcement.

Travis Sherva was lodged in Tillamook County Jail on charges of menacing (x2), unlawful use of a weapon (x2), unlawful possession of a firearm, criminal conspiracy (x2) and disorderly conduct (x2).

Ryen St Michell was lodged in Tillamook County Jail on charges of menacing (x3), unlawful use of weapon (x3), reckless endangering (x2), pointing a firearm at another, tampering with physical evidence and tampering with witness.

The two other people in the house at the time were released on scene, the sheriff’s office said. The weapon used in the shooting has been recovered.

This investigation and apprehension was a collaborative effort between TCSO, TPD and OSP.

Superintendent receives resignations over vaccine mandate, expects more Headlight Herald Staff

T

he Tillamook School Board hosted a work session on Aug. 25 to hear from Tillamook School District staff regarding the vaccine mandate recently issued by Oregon Governor Kate Brown.

Governor Brown’s new vaccination mandate requires that all teachers, educators, support staff, and volunteers in K-12 schools be vaccinated against Covid-19.

The mandate requires those listed

above to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18 or six weeks after full FDA approval, whichever is later.

“Our kids need to be in the classroom full-time, five days a week, and we have to do everything we can to make that happen,” said Governor Brown. “While we are still learning about the Delta variant, we know from previous experience that when schools open with safety measures in place, the risk of transmission is low. That’s why I’ve directed the Oregon Health Authority to issue a rule requiring all teachers, educators, support staff, and volunteers in K-12 schools to be fully vaccinated.”

Tillamook School District Superintendent Curt Shelley opened the workshop addressing the roughly 10 staff members meeting in-person and 70-plus staff joining via Zoom.

“We’re doing everything we can to navigate a vaccine mandate, while keeping everyone safe and protecting people,” Shelley said.

“We have changes that are coming at us on a daily basis. I appreciate those who understand those changes.”

For the 2021-22 school year, the District hired 40 new teachers and several more additional employees.

One of the questions proposed to the Board and Shelley was if the vaccine mandate would create more vacant positions.

“I believe we will have a number of people who will resign,” Shelley said. “I will guess that more classified staff will resign than certified staff. Certified staff [teachers] would need to change profession or go to another state [to avoid the mandate].

I have had a couple resignations

already based around this mandate. We have a shortage of staff; whatever way we go, we will have challenges.”

Shelley noted that he knew of at least six school districts in Oregon state that have announced a delay in the start of school by a week.

“If we cannot stay open and the virus does not allow us to stay open, and we have to go to [distance learning], then that’s what we will do,” said Shelley. “If we have to postpone the opening of school, that is what we will do.”

Additional questions from staff members included medical and religious exemptions from the vaccine mandate.

In response, Shelley read from

ue to the increased COVID-19 deaths in Tillamook County, Waud’s Funeral Home has exceeded its capacity. Emergency Manager Gordon McCraw put in a request for a refrigerated morgue truck from the state.

Waud’s Funeral Home is licensed to hold nine bodies. Since late last week, Waud’s has been at capacity.

Klamath County has offered a morgue trailer to Tillamook County, as they are not using it, McCraw reported during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Aug. 25.

“If we sign a mutual aid agreement, they had one we could borrow,” McCraw said.

McCraw said once the agreement is signed, he can contact Klamath to see what transport looks like. He said it would be about a 6-hour trip one way.

“I’ll get with Oregon Emergency Management to figure out a way to get it up here to us to help Waud’s with their capacity limits,” McCraw said.

The board of commissioners approved the mutual aid agreement.

“I want to thank Klamath County for the very generous offer,” Vice-chair David Yamamoto said. “We’re in need. They understand our need.”

Comedy comes to Kitty’s on Fri. and Sat. Joe Warren jwarren@countrymedia.net

You will not want to miss two very special nights of comedy slated for Kitty’s Food and Spirits this Friday and Saturday. Owners Joel and Dana Baker, known for providing the best music and entertainment in the area, are doubling down as they have booked the Jokers and Jester Comedy Tour in town for two nights.

Jake Daniels, Tony DiJamco and Steve Mazan with the Jokers and Jester Comedy are taking center stage Friday and Saturday Sept. 3-4 for a full night of gut-busting humor as they each perform their signature acts. After the comedy each night the Joel Baker band will be playing so why not warm up with one of the best acts in the country then dance the night away.

Shows start at 6:30 p.m. each night and advance tickets are mandatory as there will be standing room only for these shows.

Daniels, with the tour, said in a phone interview, that he’s been to Tillamook once before and is excited to bring some new material to town.

“Normally we’re in and out of towns pretty quickly, so it will be nice to stick around and see the area while

we’re here,” he said. “We’ll be here for two nights so it will be nice to see your little town.”

Last year was rough on traveling acts due the pandemic, but with restrictions lifted and things looking better, Daniels and his entourage are happy to be back touring and back to work.

“Pre COVID we were on the road 10 months out of the year,” Daniels said. “We would do 300 shows per year, so it’s nice to be getting back out doing what we love to do.”

Jokers and Jester does not only travel the country, their act has been featured on Amazon Prime and Apple TV as well as Netflix. According to Daniels, the comedians are under contract to provide three more specials over the next three years for Netflix.

“Our first special received four-and-a-half stars out of five on Amazon Prime,” Daniels said. “I love to play the smaller clubs like Kitty’s, it’s a much more intimate show, I look forward to being in Tillamook again.”

About the comedians Jake Daniels Chasing a dream, before landing on the comedy circuit Jake produced several awardwinning films. Two of his feature-length films (Dark

audiences coming back for more.

Steve Mazan

Jake Daniels Woods, The Deviant) can be found on Netflix, while some of his older short films can be found on YouTube. Known as one of the hardest working comedians today, Jake is involved with over 300 shows annually.

Touring the U.S. most of the year doing comedy shows nightly in bars, stadiums and comedy clubs, Jake has also been heavily involved in some amazing causes.

These include producing and performing in fundraisers for Children’s Cancer Research, as well as several different Veterans Organizations.

The “Heart Break Kid” brings his history of relationship heartbreaks to life in his act. This romantic comic flirts with topics such as: “Love at first sight,” “Role playing,”

and the “D” word (D-I-V-OR-C-E, not Dallas). Jake is one of those rare comedians who can get an audience to shake their heads even though they’re laughing at the material.

Steve Mazan Beginning his career in the same San Francisco comedy scene that produced such comic legends as Robin Williams and Dana Carvey, Steve Mazan has brought his stand-up around the world.

He has enjoyed venues from clubs and colleges across the U.S. as well as corporate events, cruises, and a variety of television shows including The Late Show with David Letterman. As a writer for The Ellen DeGeneres Show Steve received an Emmy for his work there.

Performing clean, clever routines Steve has landed spots (in addition to David Letterman) on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Bob & Tom Radio Show,

Tony Dijamco as well as Sirius/XM Radio comedy channels. He has also handled audience warm-up duties for television shows Deal or No Deal, among others. Adding to his resume’ are eight different trips to Iraq and Afghanistan where he performed rousing comedy shows for U.S. and coalition troops.

These are the shows that are closest to his heart and when asked if he’d do it again, Steve says, “In a heartbeat!” The subject of the award-winning film “Dying to do Letterman,” Steve’s comedy has been described as “brilliant” and “sidesplitting.” His material offers layers that leave audiences howling and retrospective at the same time. Smart and silly, intelligent and ridiculous and always clever, Steve Mazan’s clean comedy keeps

Tony Dijamco Impressing audiences all over the country, and now all over the world the past seventeen plus years, Tony Dijamco’s fierce mix of quick wit and sardonic sense of humor makes him a club favorite and an eagerly sought after performer. Tony spends a lot of time entertaining on college campuses everywhere.

Tony combines vocal and physical act outs with his unique storytelling perspective, not just “touching” on world events but jumping in with both feet. His inimitable outlook on today’s world is guaranteed to provide you with a show not found anywhere else.

Tony takes pride in making every show unique for every night and every crowd.

Recently seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, in 2011 Tony took Second Place in The San Francisco International Comedy Competition, which, coincidentally, is a place in history he shares with Ellen DeGeneres and Robin Williams. (“Yes, that’s what they told me after the competition. And no, it didn’t make me feel any better.” – Tony Dijamco).

More information may be released on the deaths from Oregon Health Authority (OHA) at a later date.

Tillamook County’s 11th COVID-19 associated death is a 93-year-old man from Tillamook County who died on Aug. 23. No other information is available at this time.

“We grieve for every life lost and wish to extend our sincerest condolences at this difficult time,” said Marlene Putman, administrator, Tillamook County Health Department.

COVID-19 is a highly infectious illness. As of Aug. 23, there have been 1,194 cases of COVID-19 tracked in Tillamook County. Local and state health officials continue to urge all Oregonians to take steps to protect those who are most vulnerable to complications from COVID-19.

Those considered “high risk” include adults 60 and older, or anyone with a serious health condition, Including lung or heart problems, kidney disease or diabetes, or anyone who has a suppressed immune system.

To help control the spread of the illness, those not yet vaccinated are urged to limit travel, avoid gatherings, and make a plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.

We ask all county residents to be extra mindful of choices in regard to gatherings and to follow current public health guidance to slow the spread of the COVID-19: • Follow guidance on face coverings.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

• Keep 6 ft. of distance from those not in your immediate household.

• Stay home if you feel ill.

Muttzanita Festival cancelled; support with online donations Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

n COVID Continued from Page A1 ing events and gatherings to be postponed or cancelled.

If you are unvaccinated and these events are going on, you should not be there, Putman said. If you must go, wear a mask, even in outdoor settings.

“Both the health center, Adventist Health, and Rinehart Clinic are really busy trying to get people tested,” Putman said. “Testing supplies are a concern for all of us.

“The priority populations for testing, because of limited supply, and because of the overload on staff, are those that are experiencing symptoms or people who are close contacts to a positive case,” Putman said. “If you’re traveling, if you don’t have symptoms, and you need it for some other type of activity, it’s going to be really difficult to get them locally.”

People can check out dif-

going on and why we’re doing this,” Mayor Mike Scott said.

Ruona said registration is usually set up on First and Laneda and the parade begins at The Little Apple and goes down to the beach, coming back later for the silent auction and other activities.

“Everybody comes back up towards town after the beach events,” Ruona said. “After that, everybody disperses.”

The festival is a half-day event, Ruona said. The parade is however long it takes people to walk down to the beach.

“In the same sense that I couldn’t support the farmers market being as close to Laneda as it was for possible congestion reasons, given the devastating situation the county is in, I have a hard time supporting an event on Laneda that similarly could go well but does bring in that risk of congestion,” Tonjes said.

Scott said the farmers market was moved from Laneda to Underhill to provide more

ferent drive thru sites in the valley, Putman added. Many airports also have associated testing sites.

Appointments through the health center are available at the health center’s 8th Street annex, located at 2111 8th St., as well as their mobile clinic, located at St. John’s United Church-Christ in Tillamook.

Call 503-842-3900 to make an appointment.

“Adventist Health Urgent Care is also providing testing,” Putman said. “There’s a wait but they will get to you.

They have limited supply.”

Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ed Colson said 15,353 Tillamook County residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, as of Aug. 21. A total of 14,236 residents are considered fully vaccinated.

“COVID-19 vaccines are the best tool in protecting yourself and those you love against COVID-19 and slowing the spread,” Colson said.

“We have seen a tremendous increase in vaccine request since Aug. 1.”

The Food and Drug

Administration approved Monday, Aug. 23, the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 years of age and older. The vaccine continues to be available under emergency use for those 12 to 15 years old, Colson added.

A third dose of Pfizer or Moderna is available for those who have moderately to severely compromised immune systems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend third doses for any other population at this time. Talk to your medical provider to see if a third dose is appropriate for you.

To schedule a COVID-19 vaccine through the health center, call 503-842-3914.

“In order to accommodate more people, starting Sept.

9, our public health vaccine clinic will be moved back to the fairgrounds for drop-ins and walk-ins on Tuesdays and Thursdays,” Colson said. “No appointments required.”

Manzanita City Council voted to deny a permit for this year’s Muttzanita Festival in light of rising COVID-19 cases and deaths. The annual event, cancelled last year as well, raises money for local animal rescues that rely solely on donations, such as Animal Haven by the Sea. The festival had been scheduled for Sept. 11.

The festival is run by Four Paws on the Beach, a local shop in Manzanita and Cannon Beach that carries supplies and gifts for dogs, cats and their owners.

Meghan Ruona, co-owner of Four Paws on the Beach, said she wants to do what is best for the community and does not want to create a super spreader event. The Muttzanita Festival usually includes a parade down Laneda Avenue and activities at the visitor’s center, as well as games on the beach after the parade.

The money for the fundraiser is raised by donations from local businesses as sponsorships, as well as

registration from people who participate in the event itself, t-shirt sales and through the silent auction. Ruona said the fundraiser generally raises upwards of $10,000.

“All that money – 100 percent of it minus some operating costs – goes to Animal Haven by the Sea,” Ruona said.

Councilor Jerry Spegman said he believes canceling a major event like the festival is probably more powerful than mask signage on Laneda and in the town. He said he would favor postponing the event and have an effort on part of the city and visitors center to rally community support for financial support for Animal Haven.

Councilor Steve Nuttall spoke about consistency with allowing the farmers market and not allowing the festival.

Councilor Hans Tonjes said people rely on the farmers market for food.

“The city could get behind an effort with Dan Haag and the business community to set up some sort of online donation site or something that we would endorse and explain to the community exactly what’s

What is suicide?: Suicide can be described as an intentional death caused by self-harm. This cause of death is complex and is typically a result of multiple factors. This is one public health concern that can effect individuals of all ages, including the youth population. If you are interested in learning more about suicide as a public health concern, I would recommend, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s online resource titled Suicide Prevention Fast Facts (https:// www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/ index.html).

Suicide Risk factors: Risk factors are attributes, conditions, or actions that can increase the risk of suicide.

Common suicide risk factors include: relationship strain, financial hardships, substance use, problem gambling, mental illnesses, chronic health ailments, historical trauma, and financial issues.

Protective Factors: Protective factors are attributes, conditions, or actions that can help to reduce suicide risk.

Common suicide protective factors include: friends and family who can provide emo-

id you know that the Tillamook Chamber offers employers access to a health insurance program?

It seems to be one of the Chamber’s best-kept secrets — but we want to change that, because it’s truly a neat program.

We partner with the Bend Chamber of Commerce and Corey Bush with Hudson Insurance to bring Bend’s health insurance program to Tillamook. Here’s how it works: Any good-standing member of the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce also becomes an associate member of the Bend Chamber of Commerce, which can then offer their rates and insurance plans right here in Tillamook.

They are working with Corey as the local agent, so you have someone in town who can walk you through the process.

What’s especially cool about this benefit is that you can customize your plan from six different options from PacificSource, so you and your employees can get health benefits that best fits your needs. We know that health insurance is not one size fits all, so we are proud to be able

TALES FROM THE LIBRARY Bill Landau Tillamook County Library

O

f all my childhood memories, one that always filled me with the most excitement (and a little anxiety), was shopping for new school supplies at this time of year. Keep in mind that this was over 50 years ago, but our school always sent out an exact list of all the items we would need to bring on the first day of classes. Believe me, I took that list very seriously. I would check and recheck to be sure the pencils were indeed #2 (even though the local stores didn’t even sell any other kind), the box of crayons had exactly 18 different colors, and I had to be sure to choose the right kind of protractor. That protractor was perhaps the biggest mystery of all, because I don’t believe I ever used the darn thing in any class. I still don’t know why a protractor was a required item in order to attend classes!

to offer the option to choose.

The plans also come at competitive rates, so you might end up with better suited coverage at a lower rate. That’s something we’ve already heard from members who have taken advantage of this benefit!

For businesses that don’t already offer health benefits, you might find that this program finally makes doing so affordable.

With open enrollment for federal programs starting in November, it’s good to get started now to see if these plans are a good fit for you and your employees. It’ll give you time to work through details and ask any questions you need before insurance companies get busy later in the fall.

I won’t get into the specifics of each plan here, but I can tell you that all the health

I am certain parents reading this have gone through similar scenarios getting ready for this school year... and perhaps it has been even more confusing this fall with all the uncertainty that COVID has brought to the table.

At the Tillamook County Library, we feel for the parents and grandparents as they prepare to make this a very important year in the education of their children. Some students are playing catch-up from last year, and others are going to a school classroom for the very first time. It is the library’s goal to assist in any way we can to make this school year as enriching as possible.

How do we propose to do that? First of all, we will do everything in our power to keep our libraries open and available to all of our library patrons. We despised the time when COVID made us close our doors and we hope we never have to go through that again. If I wanted to look on the bright side of the closure, I would say it really helped us realize how much we desperately want and need people inside our buildings.

We missed you all terribly and are so glad to have you back now.

We also will support par-

plans cover essential health benefits, no-cost preventive care, calendar-year benefits and all member out-of-pocket costs for covered services apply toward the annual out-of-pocket limit. Plus, PacificSource is a great network both in Tillamook and throughout the state of Oregon.

There is one small caveat: The plan is only available with a Chamber membership. We’ve talked before about giving our members an appropriate value for their membership, and this is one way we can do that. Considering that most memberships cost less than $200 a year, I’d say access to a health plan like this – and a slew of other membership benefits – is well worth it.

If this healthcare plan sounds like something you’re interested in, I encourage you to reach out to Corey Bush at Hudson Insurance to learn more and see if it is a good fit for your business. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

And for information on Chamber membership (step one of accessing these competitive health plans), call our office at 503-842-7525 or visit www.tillamookchamber. org.

ents and students by having the most outstanding collection of books and resources to help make learning fun and effective. Sadly, I remember trying to do book reports at my local library when I was a kid with ancient books that had been outdated decades ago. But the Tillamook County Library has kept pace with the times, and we have oodles of new information on just about any subject you might be researching.

Did you realize that if you are doing a report on a certain topic, you can place specific books on hold and we will gladly notify you when the item is ready to be picked up?

And teachers...I hope you realize that if you give us a few days’ notice, we can gather an assortment of books on the theme of your choice...then you can check these items out on your “teacher card” so your students can utilize these books in your classroom!

We also have an AMAZING “virtual library”, online at www.tillabook.org. Here you will find databases, encyclopedias, storytimes, e-books, and so much more... all available 24 hours per day from your home computer or tablet.

Finally, we realize you can’t do schoolwork all day long, and that is why we have some of the latest and greatest fictional books for you to borrow. Reading a good story gives your brain a muchneeded break from studies and work. In fact, I might go search the library shelves right now to find a book that tells me what I can actually do with the protractor I never used in school.

GARDENING MATTERS

F

or the last twenty years, I have been gardening on the basis that I live in a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone of 8. This is important because it affects the type of plants that will survive winter temperatures. The most recent of the USDA maps was put out in 2012 and since Oregon State University was a part of the research team, I felt pretty confident in being in a Zone 8. That was also the year they broke the zones down into “a” and “b” so they could be more specific about the temperatures and I moved up to a Zone 8b.

To go back a bit, the USDA Plant Hardiness Map is used to divide the United States into zones according to “average annual extreme minimum temperatures at a given location at a particular time period” or, basically, what the lowest typical temperatures are in an area.

The map doesn’t reflect the lowest temperatures ever recorded, just the annual averages. I came from a Zone 5 in Western Pennsylvania, which meant our winter temperatures could (and often did) dip to -20 to -10 degrees. Believe me, there were winters it got colder than that… but I digress.

I was thrilled to move to coastal Oregon in 2001 where my zone jumped to an 8, meaning the winter temps would range from +10 to +20 degrees. That dramatically expanded the types of plants I could put in the garden and not have to worry about over-wintering. I could grow everything I grew in Pennsylvania like roses and rhododendron, but oh, so much more: hardy fuchsia, heather, escallonia, lupines… the list goes on and on.

Jump ahead to 2021 when I found an online nursery for some unusual succulents that

I wanted to try. And when I put my zip code into their search engine, imagine my surprise to see I was now in a Zone 9. “Hmmm,” I thought to myself. “That doesn’t seem right. Especially since the USDA hasn’t recently updated those maps.” So more research was in order.

I tried other online nurseries but with pretty much the same result. The majority of the reputable ones showed my zip to be in a Zone 9a.

This means instead of low winter temps of 10 to 20, I could now grow plants that

can tolerate low temps of 20 to 30.

But not so fast! I tried plugging in zip codes for other cities in Tillamook County and found a wide range of Zones. Tillamook city, Cloverdale, Wheeler, Oceanside, Netarts and Garibaldi were all Zone 8.

But Rockaway Beach, Manzanita and Nehalem were in Zone 9. Okay, I can see areas closer to the ocean’s warming effect would be in Zone 9, but that doesn’t explain Oceanside and Netarts in Zone 8. More exploration was needed.

I went onto the United States Department of Agriculture website to find out as much as I could as to how the maps were researched and created. And this is where it got really interesting, at least to me.

The partnership with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS)

and Oregon State’s Prism Climate Group resulted in a very comprehensive result.

The previous USDA maps had been published in 1990, so the 2012 map was able to take advantage of much more sophisticated technology to divide the zones. Each of the 2012 zones is a 10-degree Fahrenheit band, with the “a” and “b” reflecting a 5-degree F band. The new map utilizes a Geographical Information System (GIS) that allows the user to plug in their zip code for an updated zone. This was what I was able to easily use to find the zones for all of Tillamook County.

The USDA’s ARS and OSU asked horticultural experts across the country to review their geographical zones and give input for the draft maps. A longer and more recent time period – 30 years instead of 13 years of the 1990 map - of weather data was also used. And, of

course, the improved technology in recording and reporting the weather stations was available. This included using algorithms for tracking data between the weather stations. Algorithms were also used to account for nearness to large water bodies, elevation, and positions in the terrain such as valleys or ridge tops. There were also more weather stations around the country to gather data.

The bottom line to all this is that we need to know the USDA zones for our neighborhoods to be able to choose plants that will thrive. I expect the dramatic changes in climate we have experienced over the last ten years will result in an even more modern and updated USDA map in the near future. In the meantime, check your personal zone by going to https://planthardiness. ars.usda.gov and using their interactive GIS-based maps.

constantly changing. But over time, the fire moved away from the peninsula where the Pelsons’ home is located and their evacuation notice turned into an evacuation warning.

On Aug. 19, the peninsula’s residents were allowed back in. The Pelsons were relieved to get a report from a neighbor that their California home remains standing; in fact, the peninsula itself is relatively unchanged, although surrounded by miles of burnt landscape heading into and out of the area.

The Pelsons were delighted to hear that their freezer and its contents made it through the disaster unscathed,

although power had gone on and off several times. How could they tell? Rod cleverly had filled a plastic glass three-quarters full of water and placed it on the top shelf in their upright freezer. After the water froze, he placed a quarter on top of the frozen water. If things had thawed and refrozen, the quarter would have dropped down part way or all the way to the bottom. In this case, the glass of water was still frozen hard and the quarter, resting on top, simply fell off when the glass was picked up. Great idea, Rod; one we can all use! And congratulations on having escaped a close call

with this devastating wildfire, the largest in California’s history and currently the biggest blaze, one headline said, in the United States.

Speaking of fire, there was a close call right here in Cape Meares on Aug. 22.

Jonathon Hedden, one of our volunteer firefighters, noticed fire coming up from the beach that evening. He called Mike Smith and Olli Ollikainen, also volunteer firefighters, and they all went down to check it out. It was smoke coming up from the large driftwood logs on top of the berm. There was an unattended fire in driftwood about 200 yards south of the

Bayocean Road entrance to the beach. It appeared as if someone might have built a fire at the bottom of a tree and it then burned underground, perhaps smoldering for days.

Our Cape Meares crew, including Dave Audet, along with a crew from station 71 and our Tillamook Fire Chief were able to put the fire out.

Thanks heavens our firefighting team is on the ball! But they need our help, too. Fires on the beach are okay, but spread the word about not starting fires in driftwood, report unattended fires, speak up if you see someone having a dangerous fire, and help keep our community safe.

OBITUARIES

M

ichael Ray Gardner was born April 9th, 1954 in Independence, Oregon to Roy & Dorothy Gardner. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Cindy; his kids Natalie and Coby Rieger, Sam and Danielle Gardner and grandkids, Chloe, Carsen, Callan Rieger and Sawyer and Hayden Gardner, older brother Robert “Butch” & Susan Gardner and younger brother, Gary & Patti Gardner. Mother in law, Linda Jacob; in laws, Pete and Deniel Jacob, Brad and Gretchen Jacob and Becky and Rob Williams.

As a young boy, Mike spent most of his free time outdoors playing “street ball” in the neighborhood. When Mike was 12, his father tragically passed away and his mother married Dean Ritchey and the family moved to Tillamook.

Entering TJHS here as an 8th grader, he passed out from nerves his very first day of school in PE class, and Neal Tannler came to his rescue.

They became fast friends and Neal later was his best man. It didn’t take long for him to take notice of Cindy Jacob, and they became “official” at 14 years old. Mike bonded with the Jacob family and became one of their own. Mike played on the 1972 THS state championship basketball team, played football, baseball and track. He graduated from THS in 1972 and earned a full football scholarship to Portland State University. He played at PSU under the legendary coach Mouse Davis leading the run and shoot offense as Quarterback. College football led him to lifelong friends and unshakable work ethic.

Mike and Cindy were married June 14, 1975 and then Cindy joined him at Portland State.

After his graduation, he stayed on the payroll as a quarterback coach, and coached many other top talents including Neal Lomax and June Jones. After Cindy’s graduation from PSU, they moved home to Tillamook back to the Jacob Farm where Mike taught Health and PE at Neah-Kah-Nie. They built their dream log cabin on the Jacob’s hillside and spent any and all spare time developing incredible landscape and outdoor sanctuary. An opportunity presented itself to purchase a sporting goods business and “Body and Sole” became their primary business for the next 20 years. Mike owned and operated Body & Sole on the south end of town and in his spare time, he fished before work and played on softball leagues and basketball leagues “for old guys.” He joined Cindy and friends for many years running the #1 leg of the Hood to Coast Relay running down Mt. Hood.

Mike established relationships with his customer base and was a solid presence for the community and athletes. Most people can remember buying their basketball shoes or a letterman’s jacket from Mike.

Natalie and Sam were raised in the store, always at work with their parents. This experience contributed to their strong work ethic and understanding of quality customer service.

Michael Ray Gardner April 9, 1954 - 2021

They would sit on the counter and watch transactions, go to the bank with their dad, unpack freight, and visit all of the neighboring businesses. Then ride home in their dad’s truck standing in the middle seat, helping him shift the gears.

Mike and Cindy focused on raising their kids on the family farm, helping out on the mink farm during the busy seasons and mentoring kids at the First Christian Church in Sunday School, youth choir and productions and youth group.

They were involved in weekly bible study, and the Joy Class taught by Mike’s father in law, Ted Jacob. Rarely was a Sunday missed sitting in the balcony.

After the sale of Body & Sole, Mike had several other adventures down many avenues including back to joining Cindy teaching at TJHS, football coaching at many levels, production management and wildland fire fighting. No matter what new challenge presented itself, he took it on with his tried and true strategy: people first, relationships, communication and stellar customer service above all else.

In 2001 Cindy and Natalie decided to start a new business, Sunflower Flats, and Mike was the third silent partner. He went to work demolishing and rejuvenating the historical building. It took months of work to meet their approval and be ready to open.

Mike was always available for emergency flower order pickups in Portland, picking fresh flowers, or greens in the winter for centerpieces. He was the main garbage man, window washer, PR guy and weekend delivery guy. He probably set up the rented wedding arch at least 482 times in the 18 years of business. That business was a seven day a week commitment and he was a solid piece of the puzzle and one of the reasons it was wildly successful. He understood and preached that going above and beyond was the way to success. He would accept and give nothing less than exceptional products and service.

In 2004 he was approached to take on a new challenge of teaching at Tillamook’s Alternative School, Wilson River School. There he became instrumental in building a program that took in students who weren’t making it in the mainstsream educational system. Mike made connections, built bridges and gave students hope. He got them out in the community, held them accountable, and was their “person” if they didn’t have anyone else. Countless students have approached him since their time in his class-

room and let him know that he was the reason they made it.

There was no greater reward in his eyes. Mikes famous line is “DO YOUR JOB.” If you’ve run across him at all you’ve heard this. The success of this school in particular was based on his philosophy of being a Gamechanger. How can you be a Gamechanger?

After his retirement from the Tillamook School District in 2017, Mike increased his time at the flower shop until it was sold in 2018, but also increased his time at home in the yard building more raised garden beds and finding more grass to mow. He was in full time grandparent mode, always available for multiple grandkid transportation opportunities and activities on a daily basis. He had a special bond with each grandchild and they all connected in their own unique and special way with him….shared hobbies like fishing, football, cornhole, stacking wood and snacks!

In quiet moments, he could often be found fishing on the riverbank, or outside in all seasons working on projects around the house and grounds.

He was famous for his smoking meats and bbq’ing skills.

He welcomed his kids inviting themselves over anytime for dinner.

He took on a challenge of coaching his grandson’s youth football team for a few years.

It was a challenge for him to notch down the intensity – this was not college – this was 4th grade. He would study plays and re-work plays after games and the kitchen table would be full of game schemes. We often would remind him “it’s just 4th grade” but he couldn’t help it. It wasn’t about winning, but it was about helping those boys understand the importance of being part of a team. After every practice and game he’d say: Did you have fun? Are you a better football player? Did you learn something? And the focus in the huddle was: DO YOUR JOB. Mike was a member of the PUD Board of Directors for the past two and a half years. He was immersed in operations on a daily basis and had a deep passion for the district. Recently he had also been elected to the Tillamook School Board and was truly dedicated to finding solutions for the best interest of students and staff alike. Listening and asking hard questions were two of his finest attributes.

Both elections were tough against respected incumbents, but our community trusted Mike could do the job.

Most recently, he had an opportunity to help educate his grandchildren and friends in a pod-like educational setting. He believed strongly that kids should be in school, so he contributed to making a school for them and showed up daily to encourage them to be Gamechangers. He prepared lesson plans in History, Discovery, Science and participated himself in Cindy’s spelling and writing exercises, which he readily admitted he could use some brushing up!

He created a connection with

one too soon. Sandra Jean (Urrey) Sause passed away August 5th, 2021 at her home in Beaver Creek, OR after a short battle with cancer. Sandy was born 12/14/1949 in Astoria, OR to George and Janice Urrey. She graduated from THS in 1968 and began her life adventure.

Sandy tried many avenues from shrimp picking at Smith’s to executive secretary

at Wards in Portland. She married Gary Sause in 1971.

Upon settling in Lakeside, OR she took courses at Lane Community college and worked as a paralegal in Coos Bay. Her competitive nature got her into playing softball and her team won many baseball tournaments.

In 1984 her family moved to Hawaii where she freelanced and worked in Honolulu for Damon Key Law firm. Her ability and skills took her to

Guam to research pre-WWII land ownership tracing and to legal work with an English barrister for the King of Nauru. Sandy was a strong accomplished woman willing to take on difficult tasks and see them through, and fearlessly loyal to family and friends. She was a driving force in Sause Marine Services from the beginning in 1990. She and Gary formed Sause Marine Services and in 1994 moved the operations to Molalla, OR. Sandy had a big heart and advocated for many.

She believed in hard work being rewarded and taking responsibility for your actions.

Sandy leaves behind her husband of 50 years, Gary; their son Beaudre and beloved granddaughter Samantha; her mom Janice Urrey, brother and sister-in-law George and Sue Urrey, sister Pat and many more loved ones.

A celebration of life is planned at a later date.

all of those kids and didn’t view it as a job or a chore, but as a gift. It wasn’t all business – he enjoyed donuts, games of left right center and the occasional football game outside.

He took the students to the fish hatchery, the beach, and to his own home for art and painting.

It was no question that his greatest accomplishment in life was his family. He was proud of the fact that with his high school sweetheart, Cindy, they raised two amazing kids, Natalie and Sam. His pride for them was unwavering and he was constantly in awe of their ability to excel as parents and in their careers. He wanted nothing more than to be with them every opportunity he got. He showed up for them always – no questions asked – their lives intertwined on a daily basis. He very recently cared for his declining fatherin-law, Ted, in his last months in a dedicated and tender way.

Visiting daily and holding Ted’s hand, providing care and verbally expressing his appreciation for the example he was in his life was a gift that Mike cherished. Ted was a mentor to Mike since the age of 14.

We are not ready to say goodbye; he wasn’t either.

There was more work to do, more questions to ask and answers to push for. But we don’t get to choose our last day, that is already done for us. The lesson here is that Mike lived a full life never settling for status quo. He was a big, fun, witty presence, who adored his family and his community. In honor of him, go forward and do good work yourself. Live like it’s your last day, because you just never know.

A Celebration of Life will be held on the THS Football Field at a later date this fall.

aVerna Maxine “Chris” Sessions (Christensen) embarked on her latest adventure - hiking the stars and exploring the universe - on June 16, 2021 at the age of 94. She spent her final days surrounded by family and beloved friends who helped send her off in style; immersed in love, humor, music, and the legendary stories of her full and wonderful life.

Chris was born on February 18, 1927 to Claude and Marie (Brooten) Christensen in Tillamook, Oregon and was the youngest (and last-surviving) of her siblings - Charles (“Bus”), Kenny, Harold, and Marjorie.

She met her future husband, Keith W. Sessions of Bay City, Oregon in 1941 when she was 14. They married in 1945 and remained married for 61 years before Keith passed away in 2005 at the age of 81.

She apparently devised a brilliant scheme early on to have enough children that she and Keith would (in theory) never have to work, cook, or clean again. In pursuit of this, she and Keith spent most of their time procreating, eventually amassing an army of children large enough to really make a mess of everything while doing none of the working, cooking, or cleaning.

Chris is survived by all eight of her children, Victoria Wundram, Dr. Stanley Ses-

sions, Christopher Sessions, George Sessions, Sally Cobb, Keith Sessions, Jr., Annie Kiely, and Andrew Sessions.

She loved getting out into nature and was happiest when she was cross-country skiing, backpacking, or camping with the family. But she also loved the “finer things” and could prepare delicious homecooked gourmet meals, and quite possibly the best apple pies ever created.

Her energy and enthusiasm were seemingly never-ending and she showed her family how to live fun, amazing, and rich lives without necessarily having a lot of money.

Whether telling stories around the campfire at the Kilchis or having martinis at The Polo Lounge, she was always effortlessly glamorous and high-class.

Throughout her life, Chris knew what it meant to be a caring and generous person; respectful and understanding of others, our world, and nature. In that spirit, we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her name to The Nature Conservancy, The Audubon Society, The American Red Cross, Tillamook Pioneers, or any charity of your choosing that represents that spirit.

An informal picnic lunch and memorial gathering was held at Cape Lookout State Park on 11 August 2021.

S

usan Wesson Zollner passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 21st, 2021 at PeaceHealth Medical Center in Eugene, Oregon, with her husband at her side.

Sue was the daughter of John and Jean Sander of Tillamook, Oregon. She attended Marylhurst Catholic Univer-

sity and graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor’s in Home Economics and a Minor in Physical Education. While back in Tillamook, she met Jay Wesson.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Response to Charter’s letter

I am witnessing contradictions that make me feel as if my head might explode.

On one hand, Covid-19 is raging through our nation and our county. Our hospital’s ICU ward is filled with Covid patients. The hospital has had to suspend voluntary procedures. Our funeral home has needed to bring in portable storage for the dead.

On the other hand,

Brenda Charter is worried about the schools forcing our poor innocent children to wear masks at school. I bet she doesn’t care that the schools force our children to wear pants.

It sure seems to me that it is no exaggeration to say that we are at war and, largely through ignorance, we seem to be losing.

I think it is long past time that we put our preferences on hold and make the sacrifices necessary to end this ordeal. Even if it means wearing a mask.

niece, Kady. Also the outdoors, clamming and baking. She enjoyed her travels with family and friends to Wa, Montana, Idaho and Nevada.

She is survived by her niece, Kady Wilks, and aunts, Linda Jones of South Prairie, WA., Karen Lee of Hebo, and Beverly Johnson of Idaville, and numerous cousins. Crystel was the light of her families lives and will be deeply missed by all her family and friends, and Zena, her dog.

Ed Zollner. They enjoyed each other’s company so much that they were married September 12th, 2015 and Sue moved to Eugene to join Ed. She joined a local golf club, enjoyed having her grandchildren over, helped out the Eugene Pro Rodeo and was an active member of her local parish, St. Paul Catholic Church.

Every life that Sue touched, from students to the person next to her at the grocery store, was better for having known her. In her life, there was no such thing as a stranger. Her Catholic faith brought her strength and peace right to the end.

Sue was preceded in death by her sister, Margaret Chaires (James), and her brother, John L. Sander (Donna). She is survived by her husband, Ed Zollner; her sister, Janet Friedrich (John);

brother Paul Sander (Lynn); her sons, Michael Sander Wesson and Gregory John Wesson (Stacy); and her grandchildren Zachary and Payton Wesson, and Henley and Hawk Wesson, plus stepgrandchildren Delaney and Rosey Chapin.

Donald Trump, his wife, his children have all been vaccinated, along with Republican Senators and Republican Representative, many who refuse to admit it.

I believe that if you are refusing to be vaccinated because of anything Donald Trump has said, please take note, again, that Donald Trump has been vaccinated.

I believe that your refusal to be vaccinated is just another example of how much the Republican Party is willing to be uninformed, selfish, greedy and cruel.

Trump had the vaccine 50% of Tillamook County citizens refuse to be vaccinated while their County is overrun by tourists from all over the United States, who may or may not be vaccinated.

When asked if employees were going to receive additional leave time if they were quarantined or sick with Covid-19, Shelley replied: “Covid-19 leave ran out in December. The District is not required to provide Covid leave. Those on Covid-19 leave, currently, are taking sick leave. This can be negotiated with the District.”

Another staff member asked about data regarding the safety of the vaccines.

“I’m doing my best as a superintendent to be well-read… and you may even have different sources than I have. On either side that we are on, we can find data to support that.

We must ask the questions: Is the data reliable and what is the source?”

As the one-year anniversary of the Pike Road Fire approaches, our thoughts return to the incredible individuals (too numerous to mention) and organizations who saved our home at 8335 Pike Road.

Words cannot express our gratitude to the fire departments in the Tillamook area (Tillamook, Bay City, Garibaldi, Nehalem, and Nestucca), South Fork Detention Center, Tillamook Sheriff’s Department, Tillamook Department of Forestry and the numerous loggers, truckers, farmers,

barn making sure everything was working to perfection.

He took pride in his work by constantly making improvements with great detail and a very noticeable personal touch. He had an outstanding dairy and this was because of all his hard work and commitment to doing things right.

He enjoyed network genetics and his full purebred register jersey herd was magnificent proof of his dedication to dairy farming. He was an entrepreneur at heart and this shined brighter as he created a successful business selling grass seed to the community.

Our Heavenly Father called him home and now. Butch is now in the Land of Glory with his Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Butch is survived by his beautiful wife Sue Katen, two wonderful daughters and five precious grandchildren.

and volunteers as well as the various businesses that provided for the firefighters and the evacuees. Apologies to those we have failed to mention.

Having lived through this fire event, we can’t help but wonder what plans and improvements Pacific Power has put in place to avoid and/or mitigate another fire caused by the drought, dry conditions, dangerously low humidity (between 6-10 %) and strong, erratic easterly winds that triggered the failure of their equipment. These conditions, we believe, were self-evident and wellknown beforehand. Without the tireless efforts of those mentioned above, the Pike Road Fire could easily have spread and turned into a larger catastrophe for other homes in the area.

Again, we remain grateful for the efforts of the entire Tillamook community.

Board Member Kris Lachenmeier responded to the questions: “My advice is to talk to your doctor. If I was making that choice, I would want to have that heart to heart with my doctor.”

When staff questions ended, Shelley concluded the meeting and opened the floor up to comments from the Board.

“As a superintendent I always plan to follow all laws and mandates, but the Board does have some local control.

But, I don’t want to speak on their behalf.”

Board Chair Matt Petty closed the meeting with his thoughts.

“Unfortunately, we haven’t even had the opportunity to have a conversation about this as a Board,” Petty said. “At times like this as we move for-

ward, there’s going to be a lot of emotion. There’s no doubt that this mandate will impact us all...in the coming weeks there will be some emotional highs and lows to do the best for our families. So, have empathy for each other in our choices…be open to diverse thoughts and opinions. Show grace…be kind, caring, and empathetic to each other. I say this, as this will be tough in the next couple weeks for some of your coworkers and the Board.”

Tillamook School District is slated to begin school Sept.

7 with masks required for all students, staff, and volunteers.

The Tillamook School Board will meet for their next regularly scheduled meeting September 13 at 5:30 p.m in the District Office Board Room.

Suicide Prevention: An update on local QPR Gatekeeper Training Janeane Krongos Prevention Coordinator Tillamook Family Counseling Center

here are many resources in our community to support people during a crisis. One of the best and most important ways to build community resilience is for more people to get involved.

There are many free trainings and volunteer opportunities through which we can build a stronger community response to meet the needs of those around us. Janeane Krongos, Prevention Coordinator with the Tillamook Family Counseling Center, shared this information about the upcoming QPR Gatekeeper training: One of my roles as a Prevention Coordinator at the Tillamook Family Counseling Center is to provide community members with opportunities to be trained in the Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) Gatekeeper training. This training is an evidenced based suicide prevention training

“This was my first time taking a response training focused on mental health. I have had difficult conversations in the past with friends about depression or suicide and I have always struggled in knowing the best way to respond or support someone. The QPR course offered an outline for how to approach these conversations, which I greatly appreciated because you never know when you might need to rely on that training.”- Public Health Professional “I appreciated the QPR gatekeeper training, because it offers hope by providing concrete ways to respond to friends, family members, or co-workers who might be at risk of suicide.” -Community Response Coordinator Advocate for Tides of Change “I liked the fact that it went into detail on how we should go about asking a person questions, to find out if they

are considering attempting suicide. I also liked the fact that there were several participants, who were involved in the session & had their own input.” - Worksource JOBS Program “What I appreciated about the QPR training was the way it removes both the stigma around suicide and the hopelessness that once a person has decided to take their life there is no turning them around.” Faith Leader “Things that I enjoyed about the QPR gatekeeper training, offered free of charge, required only 1 morning of my time, was a small group with local names and faces, the material is from a trustworthy source and I was confident that it was taught to fidelity standards, Nothing presented was beyond my comfort zone, no follow up was required to prove that I retained what was taught, and mostly, I feel empowered to effectively intervene with family, friends, or clients when I suspect they might be

I learned a lot. I disposed of some myths in my thinking.”

–Retired teacher “QPR was a safe and positive learning opportunity, as a virtual space to raise my awareness, learn about things to look for, and gain tools to respond. I highly recommend this learning opportunity!”Nonprofit Organization Staff/ Parent “I really enjoyed being together with other invested folx to remind us that we can create a network of support in our very own communities.

The training also addresses common misconceptions and

myths around suicide, urging us to Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR), in order to save lives. I would definitely recommend this training to others and would be interested in learning how this training is adapted to be shared amongst youth.” - Community Member/Social Worker Together, we can build a safer community.

Tillamook County Transportation District has released a revised service plan to be implemented September 1, 2021.

Doug Pilant, General Manager for the District explains,

A little-noticed initiative

by Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-WA, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-OR and five other senators would boost local jobs, accelerate sales and improve economies. The Local Journalism Sustainability Act, S. 2434, is designed to help local news media support their newsgathering missions.

One provision goes far beyond offering aid to community newspapers, local news websites and other newsgatherers. It would help small businesses to dig out of the economic doldrums by supporting their advertising costs in local news outlets, which in turn will help publishers and broadcasters to hire

journalists.

This provision would permit small businesses to claim a tax credit for a portion of their advertising purchases up to $5,000 a year. Credits would remain, but in declining amounts, for five years.

The legislation, originally introduced in similar form

by Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-AZ, and Dan Newhouse, R- WA, would also help subscribers by providing them with a refundable tax credit up to $250 a year. It provides financial support for hiring as well, assisting news organizations with journalists’ salaries.

It is the advertising tax credit that is the unsung hero of this legislation. Like a pebble tossed into the pond of local economies, it will show the ripple effect of benefits in local jobs, enhanced spending, revenues to run

local governments and a boost to get American small businesses back in the game after a very tough couple of years.

Every dollar of advertising spending generates $8.77 in sales, according to a 2010 study by IHS Global Insight, a firm that periodically measures advertising’s impact on economies. Advertising is directly responsible for about 20 percent of the American economy by directly generating jobs in media sales, creation of materials and collateral work but it does far more by juicing activity in other businesses.

No surprise to anyone on Main Street: after the 2008 recession small businesses cut way back on their advertising campaigns, dropping from their normal 3-5 percent annual increases to a stunning 6 percent cut in 2009.

It is too soon to know what the COVID-19 pandemic has done to this spending, but it would be no great revelation to learn that the cuts equaled or exceeded those following the Great Recession. Expense cuts are what businesses do to stay afloat.

But when they are ready to climb back into the cockpit for a new takeoff, the spending needs to accelerate rapidly. Cash-strapped businesses may be in no position to fuel their journey though.

That is why a little boost in the form of the Cantwell tax credit would be so timely. If the economy behaves as it usually does after economic retraction, the new spending will generate more sales and the public coffers will refill. The bill’s benefits end after five years but the growth it generates will pay off for decades.

Tillamook County addresses COVID-19 spread Tillamook County Board of Commissioners

The COVID-19 Delta variant is spreading like wildfire among the unvaccinated in our community. In the past two weeks we have had 361 new positive cases in Tillamook County.

To put that number into perspective, from March 2020 when the pandemic began to Jan. 1, 2021, Tillamook County had 325 cases total. In the past two weeks we have had more new positive cases than the first 10 months of the pandemic.

oodbye summer, hello autumn! I think I am ready for autumn this year. Change is always full of magic and hope. A new season is cleansing. I think I will take a deep breath and feel the magic and hope of the changing season.

Michelle and Tony Vinciquerra have been working in Haiti for over 10 years and know the help the folks over there are desperately needing.

With the recent earthquake of 7.2 magnitude, they are even more desperate than before. Michelle and Tony

is due to the COVID Delta variant, which is three times more transmissible than the Alpha variant.

The spread of COVID-19 in Tillamook County has reached a critical phase.

From Aug. 18 to Aug. 23, we had six new COVID-19 deaths. That is six tragic deaths in six days. We grieve for our friends and neighbors and their families. We are so very sorry for your loss.

For the first 18 months of the pandemic, we had five local deaths due to COVID-19. In the past week, we more than doubled the number of COVID deaths in

Tillamook County, from five to eleven.

The increased number of COVID-19 deaths in Tillamook County has put a strain on our ability to store the bodies of the deceased.

Waud’s Funeral Home is licensed to hold nine; since late last week, Waud’s has been at capacity. Due to increased COVID-19 mortality and the anticipation of additional deaths, we have ordered a refrigerated morgue truck from the state.

As of this morning, Adventist Health-Tillamook, a 25-bed hospital, has 17 patients, seven of whom

have COVID-19. Their ICU has been converted into a COVID-19 unit, and they are in the process of converting beds on the medical/surgery unit to COVID-19 beds. To the extent possible, Adventist Health-Tillamook transfers critically ill individuals to other hospitals such as Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). However, due to the COVID surge, availability of beds at OHSU and other hospitals is becoming scarce. At the time of this writing, there are 44 available ICU beds in the entire state.

The current COVID-19 surge is predicted to peak Sept. 7, level out, and slowly fall thereafter. In the coming weeks our numbers will continue to go up, and we will likely lose more friends, family members and neighbors to COVID-19.

What can we do?

If you are not yet vaccinated, please get vaccinated.

Eighty-six percent of the newly diagnosed COVID cases are among unvaccinated individuals. Fourteen percent are vaccinated “breakthrough” cases, many of whom caught COVID-19 from unvaccinated individu-

als. Most individuals who are hospitalized with COVID-19 and those who die from it are unvaccinated.

Wear a mask in public, both indoors and outdoors in groups of people other than family members. Cancel or reschedule in-person meetings, events, and celebrations. Work and gather remotely whenever possible.

Maintain 6 feet of distance from other people and wash your hands frequently. We understand that everyone is COVID-19 weary. These are the darkest days of the pandemic so far, and everyone is at risk.

that the Meals for Seniors folks are still doing the indoor dining and following all the rules. They have cancelled their French Toast Breakfast though. Join them each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:30am; lunch is at 11:45.

They ask that you arrive by 11:30. It is at the St. Mary by the Sea dining hall.

pared tasty, nutritious meals.

Bay City UMC was the liaison with USDA and did the paperwork for funding the meals. Bay City church members set up the sacks with prepackaged items and delivered meals from south Rockaway to South Bay City. Nehalem UMC members finished putting the meals together, loaded them on the buses, and delivered them from North Rockaway to Manzanita. The buses followed school bus routes and stopped at a number of bus sites. This enabled the churches to serve a greater number of kids.

The Bay City UMC rummage sale committee is waiting to see what covid restrictions will be a month from now, but they still need volunteers to sign up to work and to make baked goods so they’re good to go. Set up at City Hall will be Sept. 28-30.

The sale is Oct. 1st and 2nd.

“Big cars and strong bodies are needed” on Sept. 28th and Oct. 2nd to set up and break down. Rummage sale times will follow. For more information call the church office at (503)377-2679 or email baycityumc@bccoast.net to volunteer. The Bay City UMC leadership and congregation have brought wonderful programs to help our community through the covid months

and continue to seek ways to help us. Give back and call to volunteer. It is good for your soul.

It’s not too late to take advantage of Dr. Ben Douglas’s free class discussions on Healthy Lifestyle. Join the ZOOM class at 2 PM on Sundays, September 26th and October 24th. Contact the church office at the above phone number or email address to receive an invitation.

Have you noticed that the first emergency preparedness container at Watt Park is finished? A “thank you” goes to July volunteers who framed the building and put in the floor, and August volunteers who roofed the container, added the trim, and painted the whole structure.

Volunteers for July were Greg Sweeny, Darrell, and Josh Griffith, Mike Rawson, Cathy Manis, Jack Long, Josh Keller, Dallas Coleman, Helen Wright and husband Steve, and Roy Markee. The August team were Tony Troyer, Billy Schreiber and Carl Ballinger.

I think I even saw Helen Wright swinging a paint brush. They not only volunteered, but supplied their own tools, like a generator and nail guns. I know every one of these volunteers, and they go above and beyond to help their community, never needing fan fair, never expecting reward or recognition. Truly, Bay City, you meet the best people when you volunteer.

reetings Bay City!

Last week was filled with fun get-togethers and celebrating. Good friend Norma Seely and I celebrated our husbands, Lloyd’s and Kin’s, birthdays with dinner (all homemade), party favors for all, and gifts for the birthday boys. Norma and Lloyd are two of our favorite people to spend time with. You can always count on good conversation and an evening with lots of laughter, much needed in these days that are filled with disturbing news.

We also had a visit from our daughter, Marilyn Jo, and our sweet son-in-law, Lee, who came to celebrate her dad’s birthday, and install Kin’s new backup camera (my birthday gift to Kin) for our RV. No more me frantically waving my arms and shouting stop! Stop! (Bang!).

We also met our oldest grandson and his girlfriend for dinner, as Kin continues to celebrate his birthday. We don’t have a cutoff date for celebrating any event. “Party on!” is my motto.

I have news for you about amazing volunteers joining together to do amazing things.

The Bay City UMC grub club partnered with Nehalem UMC, Camp Magruder and the Mudd Nick Foundation to provide meals to kids when school was out of session in the summer break. The result was that over 4,957 meals were served to hungry children. The Mudd Nick foundation, dedicated to providing opportunities to enrich the lives of children, donated two school buses and two drivers to deliver the meals.

Camp Magruder kitchen staff designed the menus and pre-

Brenda Charter’s letter to editor incorrectly focuses on the current requirement, that children must wear a mask, when out of their homes.

Our government has been requiring health decisions for children for years, to help

save their lives. Government requires children use seat belts, and being vaccinated to prevent the spread of childhood diseases. Teachers are required to report children’s heath issues to protect children. Around 40 years ago, I found out that Oregon law even has a requirement on outside air ventilation in schools. All to protect children health. This law may have been the result of the last

pandemic. The governor is trying to protect your child’s heath and those people around your child. Do you trust your Doctor?

Ask them what you need to do to protect your self and your children. You do have the free choice to do that.

HH21-414 Proposed Street Name Change NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL REVIEW Date of Notice in Newspaper: August 31, 2021 Date of Hearing: September 7, 2021 Hearing Location: Tillamook City Hall 210 Laurel Avenue Tillamook, OR 97141 Notice is hereby given that the Tillamook City Council is considering the following: A proposed name change for the public street connected to 12th Street west of Murray Way and east of Evergreen Drive. The street, originally accepted in August, 2018 as “Helmick Lane,” is proposed to change to “Bob Helmick Lane.” The original name and addressing were put on hold until signage could be installed, and as such all addresses along the street are still addressed on 12th St. The proposal will result in the following proposed administrative address changes at a date to be determined: Tax lot 01S09W30DD2901 (3662 12th St) is proposed as 1010 Bob Helmick Lane Tax lot 01S09W30DD2921 (3666 Unit B 12th St) is proposed as 1025 Bob Helmick Lane Tax lot 01S09W30DD2922 (3666 Unit A 12th St) is proposed as 1015 Bob Helmick Lane Tax lot 01S09W30DD2915 (3664 12th St) is proposed as 1005 Bob Helmick Lane This proposal was recommended by the Planning Commission on August 6, 2021 and is being reviewed by City Council. The criteria under which the proposal shall be reviewed are set out in Code of Tillamook §153.051(11) (M) and Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 227.120, including that the street name shall not be confusing with the names of existing streets, shall conform to the established pattern in the city, and shall be subject to approval of the Planning Commission as in the best interest of the city and the six-mile area around the city limits. The full criteria are available online or at the City of Tillamook Planning Department.

Written comments received by the Tillamook Planning Department prior to 4:00p.m. on September 1, 2021, including those received prior to the Planning Commission recommendation, will be considered in rendering a decision. Oral comments will also be accepted at the meeting.

Comments should address the criteria upon which the Council must base its decision. A decision will be rendered no sooner than September 7, 2021.

Failure to raise an issue in person or by letter precludes appeal and failure to specify to which criterion the comment is directed precludes appeal based on that criterion.

This notice of the proposal and a map of the subject area was mailed to all affected property owners and other appropriate agencies at least 20 days prior to the public hearing, and this notice is being published in a newspaper of general circulation once within the week prior to the week within which the hearing is to be held.

A copy of the application, along with a map of the request area and the applicable criteria for review are available for inspection at the City of Tillamook Planning Department located at City Hall: 210 Laurel Avenue, Tillamook, Oregon 97141.

If you have any questions about this application, please contact the Tillamook Planning Department at 503-374-1836 or mcarpenter@tillamookor.gov.

Hi, my name’s Hoot!

That’s because I have big eyes and look like an owl. I got the most gorgeous long black fur with beautiful reddish brown tones.

And soft! You won’t want to stop petting me. Now I’m hoping for a family with kids because I’m very energetic. I love to run and jump and play with wand toys, tunnels, and springs. I like to sit on my bum like a prairie dog and use my paws to play. I bet you could teach me some tricks, too. I’m also very curious and fearless. As much as I love to be picked up and petted, I do have too much energy to be cuddled at this point. Oh yes, I have a very healthy appetite.

SUMMER SPECIAL!

I was part of a litter that needed to find homes and United Paws took me in and is caring for me until my forever family comes for me. I am available for Adoption now.

Teenage kittens over 14 weeks old are on a summer special at $75 each or 2 for $125

If interested, contact United Paws at https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/online-adoption-application
