COVID-19 update:

Tillamook County COVID-19 death toll at 23 18 deaths in past 28 days, test positivity decreases, testing and vaccine clinics available

T

Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

illamook County Health Department reported Wednesday, Sept.

22, 19 COVID-19 cases for the weekend case count from Friday, Sept. 17, through Sunday, Sept. 19. The 7-day case count was 90 from Sept.

12 through Sept. 18.

Administrator Marlene Putman reported during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Sept.

22 confirmed COVID-related deaths as of Sept. 19 are 23, with 20 of those individuals

unvaccinated, one individual with no vaccine record and two deaths of fully vaccinated individuals.

“Our COVID-19 related death toll was at five deaths until July,” Putman said.

“Since this August, we have reached 23, with 18 of these deaths in 28 days. That’s nearly five times our pandemic total is a short period of time.”

Oregon Health Authority confirmed active workplace outbreaks, as of Sept. 22, at Fred Meyer with 30 COVID-19 cases, Stimson Lumber with 20 cases, Tillamook

County Creamery Association with 15 cases, Tillamook Country Smoker with 14 cases, Adventist Health Tillamook with 12 cases, Adventist Health Tillamook Orthopedics with nine cases, Hampton Lumber Company with eight cases, and Misty Meadow Dairy with six cases.

As of Sept. 18, the test positivity rate was 11.2 percent from Sept. 12 through Sept. 18. It was at 16 percent during the previous 7-day period.

“Our test positivity rate has decreased, which is great

news,” Putman said. “That’s what we’re looking for, to try to get that down below 3 percent rate, which was the target prior to the surge.”

According to the health department, ivermectin is not a proven or safe treatment for COVID-19. It is an anti-parasite that can treat infections causes by roundworms, threadworms and other parasites.

Drive-up COVID-19 testing is available for those with symptoms or is a close contact of someone who has tested positive. The testing is available from 9 a.m. to

3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday or Friday at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. There may be a wait time. Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic and local pharmacies are also providing testing.

Vaccine clinics are available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds Convention Center.

No appointments are needed.

Vaccines are also available at Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic, and local pharmacies.

Oregon is ready to make booster shots available to people who are eligible to

receive one, if the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup approves a federal recommendation to make booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine available to seniors and people in high-risk categories.

Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ed Colson said federal officials would have more information on booster shots for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson in the coming weeks.

Changing Ocean

COVID-19 vaccines for children could be available soon C

As climate change impacts the environment, the coastal region of Oregon and California is likely to see more change.

Scientists looking for answers to climate impact along coast A

s the ocean changes due to climate change, the pressure is on scientists and others to find a way to determine how the ocean will adapt and if people can help protect it.

During a discussion with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition last week, Mark Carr, a professor of marine ecology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz, said the challenge is immense.

“In my humble opinion, climate change is the greatest challenge in our current time,” Carr said. “It manifests itself in many ways.”

Carr said as the ocean warms up, especially near the coast, there are clear changes in currents, sea levels, acidity as well as temperature and precipitation.

To prepare for a changing coastal ocean, scientists like Carr must be prepared.

“How can we best prepare coastal marine life and human communities for the impact,” he said.

When looking at a species in the coastal ocean, Carr said there are three questions that must be answered. First, the likelihood of exposure. Second, sensitivity to change and finally, adaptive capacity.

“Those three factors ultimately determine the vulnerability of a particular species,” Carr said.

To prepare for the changes, Carr and a team created a climate vulnerability assessment. The assessment is not easy, but is could be effective.

“Climate change impacts are really complicated,” Carr said.

“They have lots of feedback to the system that most of the vulnerability assessments don’t capture.”

The goals of the assessment plan created by Carr and his team are to identify vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities, empower communities for mitigation and adaption to climate impact and avoid unintended consequences.

After creating a framework for the assessment, Carr and his team at Cal Santa Cruz tested it by looking back a few years. They looked back at the

devastation of the red sea urchin fishery. That event was brought on by two events, a marine heat wave from 2014 to 2016 from California to Washington at the same time that sea star wasting disease began eliminating most of the sea stars from the ocean.

The heat wave played a role by killing large portions of the kelp forest, which is the primary food source for urchins.

Sea stars, the main predator of urchins, were eliminated at the same time. The result is red urchins were forced to move to deeper water and purple urchins, which reproduce faster, began to take over.

When looking at the assessment, Carr said they look at four areas - the resource of interest, in this case the red sea urchins, the ecological community, human users and the overall human community.

“It’s important to recognize each one of these domains impacts the other domains, either directly or indirectly,” Carr said.

“Each of these feedbacks interact with the resource domain. Climate impacts are likely to impact all the domains.”

With the red sea urchins, the loss of kelp and a predator to control the purple urchins impacted the red sea urchins.

As a result, the purple urchins reproduced rapidly, leading to greater loss of the kelp forest as the urchins ate. The human users, or the people who fished for and processed the urchins lost work, and the greater community suffered when there were no urchins to eat.

The impact was felt greatest from Port Orford into Northern California, where the water temperature climbed 2 degrees.

“That marine heat wave is thought to be one of the largest marine heat waves in the world,” Carr said. “In the absence of food and the absence of predators, the purple sea urchin just went crazy.

They came out and fed on all the algae.”

Interestingly, the warmer water itself did little to hurt the red sea urchin, but the impacts down the line did.

“The sensitivity of the red urchin to to the heat was was minimal,” Carr said. “Rather, indirect ecological interaction in the kelp field impacted the urchin.”

Carr said the impact is being felt five year later because the kelp forests have not fully recovered.

“As soon as the kelp recovers

hildren in Tillamook County, across Oregon and the United States may soon be able to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

According to a report in the American Academy of Pediatrics, children account for more than one in five new COVID-19 cases.

As of September 16, over 5.5 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. Nearly 226,000 cases were added the past week, the third highest number of child cases in a week since the pandemic began, the American Academy of Pediatrics reports.

Oregon health officials have been closely monitoring the cases of COVID-19 in youth in the state and have said the virus is less severe in children.

Pfizer-BioNTech has announced that its coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective for children aged 5 to 11 years. The companies have applied to the Federal Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization. The use of the drug for children could be available within 30 days.

School districts across the state are developing specific protocols and procedures if they have to quarantine students and staff that may have been exposed to COVID-19.

The Headlight Herald reached out to Kati Moseley, Oregon Department of Education (ODE) Ready Schools Resiliency Manager, for insight into the COVID-19 impact at the schools.

The Herald: Is it surprising to the ODE to see the outbreaks at our schools, given the procedures and protocols that had been established for in-person instruction and approved by the state for the new school year?

Kati Moseley: It is unsurprising to see cases in schools, given schools are implementing layered COVID-19 mitigation protocols to slow transmission. These protocols may include things like symptom screening, reminders to families to keep children home if they have symptoms, and of course diagnostic testing. Having access to rapid testing in schools means that schools will find cases.

The success of these layered mitigation measures also means that we are seeing very few instances of COVID-19 spread in schools. Schools that are implementing layered mitigation protocols rigorously are not seeing spread in schools.

The Herald: With the outbreak of COVID-19 cases at schools in Oregon, what ODE policies and procedures are in place now and what more needs to be done to help guide school districts as they navigate through this latest pandemic challenge?

Moseley: Since the pandemic started in

“A lot of people when they do cat sitting they drop in and they feed them and change the litter,” Taylor said. “I always wanted to be not just a cat sitter but sort of a house sitter too because I wanted to make sure I was spending time with the cats and was giving them the best experience that they could have while their companion families were out traveling.”

Taylor has written a number of articles and essays published in various venues, including manuscripts of some children’s books, an essay for Baseball Research Journal, an essay for Watching Backyard Birds, and several cat stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

Democrat senators push for climate change investment David Rupkalvis Country Media

With Congress working hard to approve funding to keep the government open, Democratic senators from the West Coast said the budget must include funding to deal with climate change.

During a press call Wednesday, the senators, led by Patty Murray from Washington and Oregon’s two senators, said the country cannot afford to wait when it comes to climate change.

“In Western states, we got hit by a heat wave that literally made the pavement on our highways buckle,” Murray said.

“We’ve been hit by severe drought, and we’re not out of the woods yet on what has been a really tough wildfire season.

These are really stark reminders to all of us up close and personal that the climate crisis is here and now, not some distant worry for another day.”

Murray said Congress must have a sense of urgency to handle climate change and they have to invest in a renewable electric grid.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said the reconciliation package must include funding for climate change and must include it now. Wyden said those who live in Oregon have seen them impact of climate change first-hand.

“For those of us in the West, the reality is these are not your grandfather’s fires,” Wyden said. “They’re hotter, they’re more powerful, they leap over rivers and it’s hot and it’s dry and if someone drops a match, all of a sudden you have an inferno on your hands. You saw that with the Bootleg fire in Oregon this summer, where in effect is was so

powerful it moved the weather.”

Wyden said the Build Back Better plan must include three components to address climate change. The first is to create a 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps.

“What we ought to be doing is putting thousands and thousands of young people to work in these woods,” Wyden said. “They ought to be do preventative work to prevent the future Bootleg fires.”

The second step is to use the volunteers to do more prescribed burns.

“What you do is you go in during the cooler, winter months and do careful burns, and you’re able to prevent fires later on in the hot and dry season,” Wyden said.

The third step is to reduce carbon emissions.

“My Clean Energy for America Act is the lynchpin for what we’re going to be doing to grow clean energy in America and support thousands of good-paying jobs,” Wyden said.

He said the bill would get rid of 44 tax cuts for the energy industry and replace them with three tax breaks for clean energy, clean transition and energy efficiency.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley also said it is time to act.

“Last Labor Day, I drove 600 miles and never got out of the smoke in Oregon,” Merkley said. “It is a sight I never want to see again. We have to wake up and smell the smoke and recognize the enormous increase in fire is being drive by climate change. We need to wake up and swim the waters where rainstorms have dumped unprecedented amounts of water in the midwest and flooded cities.”

Merkley said fixing the climate crisis

503 842-4475 | 800 927-4476 | www.tillamookmotors.net

can be done and it can be done now.

“The answer is pretty simple, electrify everything with renewable energy,” Merkley said. “Put renewable energy on the grid to replace fossil energy on the grid. That is what Build Back Better does. It has an investment in a climate corps. It has tax abatements for solar and wind. It may well have another incentive like carbon tax to help drive transition, and it will have forest management in it.

We have a lot of work to do. We have to pass Build Back Batter.”

The final speaker was California Sen. Alex Padilla, who said Californians see the impact of climate change every day.

“For families in California, the climate crisis has become a daily reality,” Padilla said. “This summer, as many of you saw, thousands of Californians were forced to flee their homes. Families in other parts of California have either torn out the crops or lit acres and acres on fire because of the escalating drought.”

Padilla said the Democrats must use their majorities in Congress to pass Build Back Better now.

“The entire western United State has been on fire,” he said. “Fossil fuels have pushed our planet to a climate catastrophe. Yet, many of our Republican colleagues are ignoring clear, compelling scientific evidence. We have the Democrat majority, and we know what needs to happen. But our path to stopping a catastrophic cycle in narrowing today.

We need to act and we need to act boldly to combat our climate crisis head on.

“Building back better also means building back more sustainable.”

r Oregon unemployment rate falls below 5 percent Staff Report It is first time Oregon’s unemployment rate dropped below 5% since March 2020, when the rate was 3.6%. Oregon’s unemployment rate was below 5% in only two other periods since 1976 when comparable records began.

During 14 consecutive months in the mid1990s when the rate dropped to as low as 4.5%; and during the 51 consecutive months during 2016 through March 2020 when the rate dropped to a record low of 3.3% in late

The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.2% in August from 5.4% in July.

In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment grew by 7,900 in August, following monthly gains averaging 10,300 in the prior seven months. Gains in August were largest in government (+3,500 jobs); wholesale trade (+1,400); leisure and hospitality (+1,200); and professional and business services (+1,000).

Only one major industry cut jobs: retail trade (-1,900 jobs).

rant additional guidance, our framework is updated and schools notified.

The Herald: What are you telling parents that they need to do to ensure that their children stay safe and to prevent COVID-19 from spreading in their school?

Moseley: Parents can role model and support wearing a face covering when interacting with people outside of your household and practice keeping a 3’ distance so kids can learn what it looks and

feels like. For the start of the school year, ODE and OHA developed these five tips for families to help reduce the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19. We also shared that information and a helpful infographic in a press release to Oregon media.

The Herald: At what point would the ODE and/ or Gov. Brown decide that schools must return to distant learning to ensure the health and safety of our school children, or is that now up to

A marine heat wave followed by the loss of sea stars led to purple urchins reproducing in record numbers, putting further strain on the kelp forests from California to Washington.

from the heat wave, the red urchin will be back,” Carr said. “The marine heat wave only impacted the Northern California fishery. The Southern California fishery was not impacted.”

Carr said the people who fish for urchins had minimal impact as well because they were able to find other work.

However, the processors did struggle.

Carr said going back and looking at a past event will help scientists prepare for a future one.

“If we have another heat wave, you could ask what’s going that going to do to the Port Orford fishery,” Carr said. “You could adjust this to get some answers. It requires local experience. It requires the knowledge of people in that system.”

Another question that can be answered is how long the impact will last. And it could be longer than expected.

“To this day, we’re only

now starting to see more of the kelp recover,” Carr said.

“The prognosis of Northern California is pretty bleak. You need to change the urchin population in order for the kelp to recover.”

There is good news and bad news when looking at the 2014-16 heat wave.

“How often are we going to see the event,” Carr asked.

“That will be a big key as to recovery. If we start seeing more heat waves that could

shift the system.”

Phillip Johnson, the executive director of Oregon Shores, said Carr’s presentation is one of a series of events Oregon Shores is doing in 2021 as part of a celebration of its 50th anniversary.

“We potentially address any conservation issue along the Oregon coast,” Johnson said. “Anything that does threaten the Oregon coast, we do care about deeply.”

Since the low point of April 2020, at the economic depths of the COVID-induced recession, Oregon has recovered 204,700 jobs, or 72% of the jobs lost during the recession.

Leisure and hospitality added 1,200 jobs in August, following a gain of 6,100, as revised, in July. Despite these gains, it still accounts for the bulk of Oregon’s jobs not recovered since early 2020, with 44,300 jobs left to recover to reach the prior peak month of February 2020.

The industry has regained 60% of jobs lost early in the pandemic. local school districts?

Moseley: The instructional model a district uses is a local decision.

By the numbers The Oregon Health Authority’s COVID-19 Weekly Report, released Sept. 22, shows decreases in daily COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations and an increase in deaths.

OHA reported 11,655 new cases of COVID-19

Employment in health care and social assistance has been relatively flat all year. This major industry recovered substantial jobs in midthrough late-2020, but is still down 10,400 jobs, or 4%, since its pre-recession peak of February 2020. Over the past year, nursing and residential care facilities have been especially weak, having lost 1,300 jobs since August 2020. Meanwhile, two component industries have expanded in the past 12 months: ambulatory health care services (+3,100 jobs) and social assistance (+1,100 jobs).

during the week of Monday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 19. That represents a 10% decrease from the previous week.

There were 579 new COVID-19 hospitalizations, down slightly from 592 last week.

There were 148 reported COVID-19 related deaths, up from 120 reported the previous week.

There were 140,538 tests for COVID-19 for the week of Sept. 12 through Sept. 18.

The percentage of positive tests was 10.5%, down from 12% the previous week and the lowest level of test positivity in six weeks.

Local, state and federal health officials continue to stress that vaccinations, wearing face coverings and social distancing are key factors in slowing the COVID-19 pandemic. Free COVID-19 vaccinations are available at most pharmacies and health clinics.

T

he Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA) held its first meeting in more than 18 months on Saturday, Sept. 18, at 3 p.m.

Some community members attended in person at the Barbara Bennett Community Center, whereas others attended via Zoom, thanks to the technical assistance of Annesa Eastburn. The most significant event of the meeting was the passing of the baton, both literally and figuratively, from Deborah Thomas Neal to Wendy Burroughs as president of CMCA. Many, many thanks to Deborah for her years of service and dedica-

tion to our community, and a great big welcome to Wendy as the new guardian of all we hold near and dear in Cape Meares. As stated on our website, www.capemeares.org, “The Cape Meares Com-

munity Association serves as a catalyst to promote social interaction and exchange of ideas around common educational interests, environmental stewardship, historical preservation, and community well-being.” It is with confidence that we welcome Wendy to carry on this mission. Not alone, of course; in fact, she may be contacting YOU to ask for help in filling gaps in our board/committee memberships. Here’s to a resumption of our community gatherings, some important and some just frivolous fun!

BJ’s baaaack! BJ Byron rolled into Cape Meares

after several months at her family farm in Michigan.

The highlight of the summer was a family reunion in her aunt’s backyard. BJ and her sister, Jill, enjoyed visiting and sharing good food with about 50 relatives, including all their cousins from that side of the family. Naturally, there was a little family competition as well. BJ smiled as she reported that she was the self-proclaimed winner of the cornhole competition, stopped early because of a 15-minute torrential downpour that she says is typical of variable Michigan weather. Good to have you back, BJ!

On a recent beach walk, I found a blue cloth bag with a Walmart logo. It was covered with sea growth, including little barnacles. I picked it up and placed litter in it (including two disposable facemasks), then deposited it in the relatively new City Sanitary trash can at the end of Bayocean Road. That trash can and the porta-potty are improvements to the main access to Cape Meares beach.

I don’t know if they are just for the summer or not; I hope they remain a regular feature to help keep our beach clean.

Capt. Pete and I went salmon fishing up the Tilla-

mook River one nice morning before the fall rains set in. We didn’t catch a fish, but when we got back to Memaloose, we found out that the boat that should have caught fish had. That was a brave man out with five boys in his boat!

Two boys appeared to be teenagers and the other three elementary-aged kids. We saw one of the younger boys lift the prized Chinook, short and fat, out of the boat and into a fish box from the back of their van. Then all the boys piled in the van and, pulling the boat behind, the group triumphantly left the parking lot. Way to go, guys!

Free education printables are available at http://www.volunteerfirefighteralliance.org/ education.html. The site also has free materials available to ship to educators and Fire Departments.

We appreciate Nestucca Fire Chief Jim Oeder providing word that Hebo Fire Station has smoke detectors available to install or to replace existing detectors that are not responsive to testing.

Check your home. Working smoke detectors should be installed near the breaker box, in the kitchen and near each bedroom door. There should be at least one detector for each floor of the home. Hard wired detectors need to be serviced by an electrician.

The Audobon Society of Lincoln City is hosting a hike for birders in Beavercreek State Natural Area. Terrain

will include both marsh and upland habitat. It’s planned from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 9.

Participants should dress for the weather and meet in the Ona Beach parking lot. They expect to see ducks headed north for winter, songbirds, wading birds, hawks and woodpeckers.

Tillamook County Public Health is offering free driveup COVID-19 testing at Tillamook County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Free drive-up vaccinations are available there from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Fairgrounds are east of downtown Tillamook on Third Street. Enter through the gate on 3rd Street by the 4-H dorm building and follow the path to their testing tents. No appointments are required.

Testing will be performed while you are in your car. For additional information, call 503-842-3914 during regular business hours (English and Spanish) or go to tillamookchc.org.

Don’t forget that Neskowin Farmer’s Market happens from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. weekly on Saturdays.

They’re located on the east side of U.S. Highway 101 at the corner of Summit Lane across from Neskowin Beach Wayside. For more information, go to neskowinfarmersmarket.com. Pacific City Farmer’s Market runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sundays. It’s located in the parking lot of South Tillamook County Library on Camp Street (off of Brooten Road) in Pacific City. While some vendors participate in both markets, many do not, so it’s worth attending both--or alternating between the two, if that suits your schedule and location.

Happy birthday this week to: Carolyn Douglas, Jason Hagan, Anna Hagerty, Colleen Hagerty, Lennie Heitsman, Nicole Hurliman, Chris Nelson, Jr. and Waymon Trent. Because October marks a second year of relying on the 2029 Community Calendar for our birthdays (and some months are missing) I appreciate your patience with an approximated list. If there are birthdays that you want to see honored in this space, please contact me using the information near my photo, above.

Aunt, who was a childhood author. So far there are two benches on Miller Street for all to enjoy. They are a place of rest if you are tired after a long walk, or parents can sometimes read to their children and make precious memories with them. So far you can find Winnie the Pooh and Jonathan Livingston Seagull benches.

So, the theme of each bench would be a children’s book or a character in a child’s book and the goal is to simply just have a place to rest and enjoy the view of our Lake Lytle. If you own a property along this stretch of road, please consider placing a themed bench along this stretch of road, or if you want to get involved, ask one of these owners if you can help them place a bench. Our wonderful folks in town can assist in keeping this stretch of road neat and clean, and this road may, perhaps some day, be a destination for tourists. What a nice memorial for Winnie’s aunt.

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” Several months ago I met Marilyn and David Elkins while we were walking the Manhattan Beach area.

What a nice couple. Well, I have been so impressed with their accomplishments since then, I decided to share with you what I have learned about Marilyn. She has two hobbies that are quickly making her a name in our little community. She is quite accomplished at greenhouse gardening and her photography is nothing short of professional. She and David used to volunteer at the Rockaway Beach Police Department and Marilyn would give her photographs to the folks that donated to the police department. After our department left, folks were still asking for photos, so she decided to build a website to showcase and sell her photos. Since, Marilyn has gotten a business license and her photos are selling!

On the website you can pick your favorite photo and purchase it printed on metal, canvas or have it framed and matted.

Local businesses have begun promoting her new business too. The Little Crow, (Anne Savage), showcased eight photos in her shop from the last week in May until July 1st. The Nehalem Bay Winery has even asked her to hang her photos for folks to buy. The 30% of the money that the winery makes selling her photos is donated to an orphanage in Cambodia. You will also find her photos at the Silver Sands Motel, Sunset Surf Motel in Manzanita and four of them are in our City Hall.

So, you don’t need Internet to purchase one. You can find them all over!

seeing all the beauty in one place, go to MKElkinsphotography.com. The theme of most of her photography is Rockaway Beach. Her passions, and some of my personal favorites, are photos of the Milky Way from the beach in Rockaway. Our community is so picturesque, that photo opportunities are endless, and with Marilyn’s talent, you may even find beauty you have missed. Marilyn is even selling calendars and sold 63 of them in one day.

Marilyn confided to me that she recently received a message from a man who has seen some of her fabulous photos of our town on community websites and asked for her recommendation on where to propose to his girlfriend. He brought her to Rockaway Beach from Missouri and proposed to her on the same night that she was taking a Milky Way photo in August. He bought that photo from her web page and then asked that she take a few photos of them of their engagement. Since he had bought a large metal print already, Marilyn met them on the beach by the Twin Rocks at that golden hour before sunset. She took a couple dozen photos and it was her perfect engagement gift to both of them.

Thank you Marilyn for sharing your story. I absolutely enjoyed it, and I will continue to enjoy your photography online and in town.

And yes, Life is Good….

“A photograph is the pause button of life.” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Commissioners should meet when we can attend This letter is to address the county commissioners weekly meetings scheduled on Wednesday during the morning hours. This is when the working class, the majority of us, are busy working and cannot participate. We are trying to feed our families, pay our taxes, rent/mortgages and keep the lights on. It should be a top priority, of county commissions, to provide for and accommodate the majority of citizens to participate in the county government they elected. I would be attending meetings often if I had the opportunity to participate. I’m especially interested when the county commissioners (our elected officials) are scheduled to vote on various issues that affect Tillamook County.

We have a right to participate in this process, it directly affects the quality of life for Tillamook residents, young and old.

I sympathize with fellow citizens who have concerns for their health in this time when covid is still claiming

the lives of high risk people.

Yes it’s frightening and yes we can provide comfort for those with concerns with mask wearing and physical distancing. However, please keep in mind that for most of the population there’s a 99+% recovery rate. Lets get back to open meetings when citizens can actually attend and participate. Studies out of Israel are showing that people who have natural antibodies are many times more likely to resist covid and it’s variants than people who have been vaccinated. As this information becomes more available it should relieve most restrictions and hysteria from our daily lives. After all our country has been through much worse...think about it.

Asking simple questions why?

I am not an intellect. I am not an idiot. I am a normal, everyday, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and have lived over 6 decades.

I have faith and belief in a

Creator. I do my best not to judge others and my best not to pick fights or sides. I have never been a quiet person with no opinions. I am not a conspiracy theorist but question many things these days and search for knowledge and truth. I do feel the American people and possibly the world has been duped, deceived and lied to in the past year and a half about several different, but very important things.

I have done some in-depth digging into questions of the plague that encircles the world today. There are questions about origins but at this point in time, for me, who cares. It’s here and it is affecting life on the planet for the majority of human beings in one way or another.

In the past few days I have read and watched videos from one of the nation’s leading industrial hygiene experts, Stephen E. Petty. Industrial hygiene experts are the people who make it possible for people to fly in airplanes, build skyscrapers with proper ventilation, and basically allow construction and human

For those that don’t know, The Tillamook Chamber is a 501c6 mutual benefit membership organization.

That means it is limited in the types of grants it can apply for, and it cannot offer tax incentives for people wishing to donate money through the Chamber. As a 501c3 charitable organization, the community foundation will have access to a much larger pool of grant money and will be able to offer tax incentives for donors.

The foundation also will have a broader mission statement that allows it to run community programs beyond the Chamber’s focus on its members. For example, the Chamber envisions starting a Young Professionals group under the foundation, because it would allow the network to provide educational and workforce development opportunities beyond the Chamber’s direct membership benefits.

The specific details for what kinds of programs the foundation will run are

ime flies when you’re having fun — and especially when you’re helping the Chamber build a new charitable organization that will benefit your hometown!

Let me rewind for a quick second, because this is the first Chamber Chatter I’ve written. My name is Brooke Johnston, and for the last four months, I’ve served as the Operations Assistant Intern at the Chamber. You might remember me from the welcome article the Chamber published about me, though it did use my maiden name at the time because it came out before my wedding.

I’m a lifelong Tillamook resident, and I graduated from Tillamook High School in 2019. Now I’m studying nonprofit management at the University of Oregon in Eugene. The Chamber kindly offered me an internship so I could get real-world experience and fulfill one of my degree requirements to graduate.

My internship at the Chamber focused on helping with general, day-to-day operations. You may have seen me around at Chamber HQ, delivering visitor guides, helping Sayde at the Farmer’s Market or even selling apparel at the Tillamook County Fair.

I also got the exciting opportunity to help lay the groundwork for the Chamber Community Foundation, a charitable organization the Chamber intends to launch

Check out next week’s poll at TillamookHeadlightHerald.com

Stay connected to us!

Luckily, most of the questions we get are legitimate.

People ask us to help them find old obituaries, phone numbers or addresses they are trying to locate, how to get special tax forms they need, and other practical inquiries.

Then there are the questions we get that make us wonder if they are serious or just pulling our leg.

Back when I was working in a library near the Grand Canyon, a patron asked me if I had the schedule for the elevator that takes people to the bottom of the canyon. I had to break it to them that there was no such thing.

But we get lots of interesting questions around Tillamook County, too. Here are some of my favorites over the years: • Do you have any books with actual photographs of real dinosaurs when they were alive?

still in the works, and the Chamber plans to work with other community leaders to determine how to shape the foundation in a way to best fit the needs of Tillamook.

Stay tuned for updates in the coming months, and feel free to contact Justin at justin@ tillamookchamber.org if you have any questions about the foundation at this point.

Although there is still work to do before the foundation launches, I am proud to have played a part in building a strong basis it can grow from. I can’t wait to watch the organization benefit the community when it’s up and running, even if I’m leaving before I get to see it all start.

This was my first time working with a nonprofit, and I really enjoyed applying the concepts I’ve learned in class at UO to the real world.

I’m also excited to return to my final year of college with practical skills and a realworld knowledge of how to start a charitable organization. I also have the advantage of understanding the difference between a 501c3 and 501c6 and how those two organizations can legally exist together. That’s not too bad for an undergraduate!

So now I return to UO to finish up my degree; I graduate in spring 2022 (Go Ducks!) My plan for now is to come back to Tillamook after graduation to gain more career experience in my hometown. I’d like to work at a local nonprofit and, if it all works out, continue to help the Chamber Community Foundation as it grows.

• Can I pay for photocopies using these postage stamps?

• I have to go to a job interview. Can I leave my kids here for the afternoon?

• I was here last week and there was a book sitting right on this shelf. It was blue? Do you know where it is?

• Do you have any lotion?

My hands are really dry.

• Is it OK if I bring my parrot into the library?

• Can people swim around the cape at Cape Lookout?

• Is there really a basketball court in the clocktower of the library? (No, but thanks for the idea!)

• Has anyone read ALL these books?

• I have a bunch of jewelry to sell. Can I go around the library and ask people if they want to buy any?

• If I promise not to mess anything up, can I sleep for just one night in the library? I have always wanted to sleep all night in a library.

Of course, the answer to all the above questions is a polite “no”. But that doesn’t mean we always say no to every question! We don’t ever want to give the impression that we are not approachable. We subscribe to the old adage... it never hurts to ask! Hope to see you and hear your questions in the Tillamook County Library soon.

Happy October!

You can’t see me, but I am jumping for joy! October is here, my favorite month of the year. Yes, it is my birthday, and, yes, it is true, I do celebrate the entire month of October. But that is not why I love October. I love all things fall: Sitting by the fireplace with Kin, each with a good book; Changing the closets from summer clothes to fall; Canning food for the winter (although I don’t put gingham covers tied with ribbon on the lids anymore). I love the time spent outdoors in cold, crisp air gathering sticks and leaves to lay across my mantle. I love warm sweaters and blue jeans, falling leaves, and how the light looks in the late

afternoon, tartan plaid wool blankets, and fall football games with the Beavers or Linfield Wildcats. I love making soup and homemade bread with my friends. Most of all I love the feeling of putting away summer and preparing for winter. I love gathering friends together like a squirrel gathering nuts, not that any of them are nuts – well, maybe a few – but they are my favorite friends anyway. I just like all things fall.

Speaking of preparing, fall is also a perfect time to gather as a community to prepare for winter storms. If you haven’t been to an emergency preparedness meeting for a while, there is a lot of new information available; and if

Based on what, I have no idea other than they did not want his expert advice on how to deal effectively with an aerosol virus, namely Covid-19. He was dismissed by the White House as I am sure many other leading experts in many different fields have been dismissed.

Why would the leaders in charge of a nation not want every single leading expert in the fields of medicine, science, hygiene, containment, destruction of, lifesaving treatment for or cure for a disease that is affecting and killing human life on the planet for over 525 days? Why would the government officials dismiss anyone a lifetime of expert knowledge and advice in order to save nations across the globe from economic collapse?

Why would any government set into place rules, restrictions, mandates, and use coercion, but yet not use the advice, knowledge and expertise of leading experts in the various fields to stop the disease?

Can anyone tell me why?

Debbi Reeves Tillamook

Getting vaccinated Commissioner Yamamoto recently opined in the Washington Post that he feared President Biden’s mandates on vaccines will put more lives at risk. He believes workers will quit rather than get vaccinated, leaving patients and assisted-living residents in peril and costing lives. He believes we should pursue alternative

(MYN) program “Consists of neighborhoods led by captains who collect information regarding the tools, resources, skills, and special needs from each neighbor so that their neighborhoods are ready to respond to problems and help the most vulnerable when disaster strikes.

Neighborhood captains train their neighbors in the steps to take immediately following a disaster, beginning at home, and then reaching throughout the neighborhood.” So, mark your calendar everyone for Monday, Oct. 18th at 5:00 PM at City Hall. Don’t forget, masks are required.

If you are looking for ways to give back to your community, you’re in luck. The city of Bay City has announced means such as weekly testing.

(The President’s mandates do include weekly testing should vaccinations be resisted.)

Having not heard much local talk about testing, I called the Tillamook County Health Department and learned that testing here happens three times weekly available ONLY IF you have the symptoms or have been exposed to someone with covid. Should you wish to get tested “just to know,” for travel or going back to work, it is recommended you contact Rite-Aid or Walgreens in Hillsboro and make an appointment. A vaccine would certainly be easier than weekly trips to Hillsboro.

Andy Slavitt, former Biden White House Senior Advisor for COVID Response, said this week that the economy is losing 15 million working hours/ week with people sick or in quarantine. That number could be cut drastically if vaccinations increased. The administration’s mandates are directed toward private sector businesses with more than 100 employees. How many of those do we have in the county that would be adversely affected?

I also think the majority of our “health care workers” in the fire and rescue volunteer positions are by their very definition those who care and want to help their community, volunteering because they believe in helping each other. I don’t believe they would hold back because of “lack of financial incentive. “ Increased vaccinations would also greatly relieve the burden placed on Hospital workers and save resources for other medical emergencies, elective surgeries and more.

Once most of us are vaccinated, the sooner businesses everywhere can get back to providing services and the better our economy will function. The sooner we won’t be losing our friends and loved ones.

President Biden wants to protect our communities both national and local, by

that they now have two openings on City Council and three openings on the Planning Commission. You will be serving alongside people who are freely giving their time to serve their community for the betterment of all. It doesn’t get any better than that!

City Council meets the second Monday and Tuesday of each month. Next month’s meetings are Monday, Oct. 11th at 5:30 PM and Tuesday, Oct. 12th at 6:00 PM. If you wish to bring questions or concerns to the council, please submit them ahead of meeting day. For more information call City Hall at (503)377-2288. Masks are required.

I share my October birthday with some very fine mandating vaccines to help each other get beyond this rapid infection rate of the Delta strain. That is what Governor Brown is wanting as well. No, the vaccines do not prevent us from ever getting covid for the first time or in few instances a second time, but they do greatly lessen the chances we will be hospitalized and even more that we will not die in what we now know to be a lonely and frightening death.

I don’t believe those who are resisting vaccines are bad people, but I do wish they would listen to those who are truly expert in the field of public health. Not facebook or pundits, but those who have made fighting these diseases their life’s work.

Diane Concord Tillamook

Questions to consider Here are a few questions to consider: Why are the hospitals telling people with COVID symptoms to go home, and if it gets worse, come to the hospital, thus, suppressing early treatment and the use of long-approved, FDA medications like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and azithromycin, which have reduced hospitalizations by over 80% in those who have used it early on. And why is the government now making it much more difficult to acquire these medications, which I have personally experienced?

And why are the following groups of people exempted from the government’s vaccine mandate, such as the entire U.S. Congress, all postal service employees, the Supreme Court, and most of the rest of the judiciary system, while the rest of us are being forced to undergo a grossly under-tested, potentially life-threatening, messenger RNA genetic therapy experiment, the largest medical experiment in human history? If the vaccine is such a “wonder drug,” why would these groups be exempt from taking it? Why would they

Wait, that can’t be right! It wasn’t that long ago that I turned 51!

I am closing with a passage from English poet, John Donne (1572-1631): “No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face” Thank you for reading the Fencepost, and I will see you next week.

even want to be exempt?

It’s enough to make you start thinking that the lockstep narrative we’re being force-fed by many medical authorities and most of the media, has exempted itself from the truth.

Response to my own letter

This is in response to my own letter to the editor dated September 7th with respect to what the government should and should not do for me.

Upon further reflection, I must ask myself if there is any aspect of government, or any elected person that should, or does, make my life better. Clearly the closer to home the government, the more likely one would directly feel the impact of betterment at the hand of government. Given my own parameters, the mayor of the city should be more influential to my daily life than the U.S. President. I have concluded that the most beneficial service any level of government provides for me that might make my life better is a subset of city government. I speak not of an elected person, not even a person known to me, or most citizens served by this person.

I think the person who picks up my trash in the wee hours of every Thursday morning serves me better than anyone else I can think of. No matter the weather, no matter how stinky my trash is, no matter what I toss in the city provided receptacle, my life is better because of that service. He or she, or whomever it is, no matter what gender he or she is, or what pronoun he or she desires I use when addressing him or her, serves my needs beyond my expectations.

Elected officials may fail in their promises to the voters, but the trash person has never failed me. Thank you whoever you are and thank you city government for providing that service.

Brad York Major, US Army (Ret)

Missing Hillsboro man found dead Early Sunday morning, Sept. 19, deputies and search and rescue (SAR) teams from Clackamas, Washington and Tillamook Counties continued their search for a missing 85-year-old Hillsboro man.

The area of the search was focused in the northernmost part of Tillamook County, accessed by Hwy 26.

“The missing man’s vehicle was found parked, out of gas on Saturday between 2-3 p.m. near milepost 32 on Hwy 26,” said Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) Marine Deputy Kelly Awe, the SAR coordinator for this mission. “The man had a history of dementia for about a year. We have a K9 team also working the area.”

According to the sheriff’s office, around 10 a.m., search teams located the man deceased. The recovery involved specialized equipment and a rope rescue team. It appears the man walked away from his vehicle. No foul play is suspected at this time.

“Although these SAR missions can be difficult and often heartbreaking, they more often are rewarding and come with the satisfaction that you are helping others in need,” said TCSO Sheriff Joshua Brown. “We are in need of more SAR volunteers, and our team has created a unique training program that works around a volunteer’s schedule. We will be highlighting this new program soon and I hope more people in the community will see it as an opportunity to step up and lend a hand.”

B

etty Marie Crisp lived in Rockaway Beach from 1975 through 2014, when health considerations forced her return to the Portland area, where she was born in 1923. She was the daughter of James “Ray” Cayo, who had a fishing cabin out Makinster Road for many years in the 1950s1970s. During her years in Rockaway she worked as a relief pharmacist up and down Tillamook County, including Rinehart Clinic, Rockaway Pharmacy (when there was one), in Garibaldi, and the trio of her buddies “Chuck, Gary, and George” in Tillamook. Betty was married to Glenn S. Crisp, Jr, who taught industrial arts at Tillamook High School before his retirement.

Glenn also served on the City Council of Rockaway Beach.

Betty was truly a feminist pioneer. She graduated from Oregon State University’s School of Pharmacy in 1945 (a class of 6 women and one man, during wartime). In the 1960’s she returned to pharmacy after having two daughters. In those days, she was most often “Hey Nurse!” to customers at Fred Meyer and Pay & Save pharmacies in SE Portland. One story has to be shared. When condoms were only available upon request, she delighted in asking men, “What size?”

She meant how many in a box, but took quiet delight in their flummoxed silence before asking further, “A three pack, a box of 12, or a case of 48?”

Betty died on September 18th 2021 of complications from senile dementia. She is survived by her daughter Linda Beutler in Portland, and daughter Nancy Kline and granddaughter Leah Kline in Suhuarita, AZ. Please consider making a donation to the Rogerson Clematis Garden outside Lake Oswego Oregon in Betty’s name. www.rogersonclematiscollection.org/ donate A private memorial luau will be hosted by their daughter Linda at the home they loved in front of Twin Rocks.

hitney Elliott Neal Jonske, of Portland, Oregon, passed away on September 15, 2021 surrounded by family at the age of 37.

Her kindness, generosity and laughter were contagious. She made this world a better place for everyone who met her and she will be greatly missed.

Whitney was born Whitney Elliott Neal, on May 2, 1984, in Portland, Oregon to Marilyn Saito and David Neal of Tillamook, Oregon. She moved to Portland in 1994 with her family, where she attended middle and high school at the Catlin Gabel School. It was there that she would meet her future husband, Dirk Jonske, at the age of 12. Whitney and Dirk remained in close contact over the years, started dating in their 20’s, and were married on July 14, 2018, at Mt. Hood Organic Farms. She loved and adored Dirk and was looking forward to spending forever with her soul mate.

After graduating high school in 2002, Whitney attended the University of North Carolina Greensboro, where she was a member of the UNCG chapter of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, and made many lifelong friends. She had a long and successful career in finance and digital product management, first with Citibank and then with Prudential Financial.

She considered many of her

coworkers at both companies as close to her as family members. In addition to work, she was recently continuing her education with the goal of teaching high school Spanish. In addition to languages, she was passionate about the performing arts, particularly theater, music and ballet. She was always singing and writing songs, and continued to dance ballet even after moving to New York in her 30’s.

In spite of her many endeavors and demanding work schedule, Whitney always made time for her family and friends. She made everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world to her, from the fruit vendor on the street corner near her Manhattan apartment, to friends and family she’d known all her life. She always thought of others first and relished celebrating birthdays. She loved gifting piggy banks to toddlers. She extended joy, love, compassion and empathy to everyone she knew. Her family and friends were her life.

Whitney is survived by her husband, Dirk Jonske,; grandmother, Sumi Saito,; mother, Marilyn Saito,; father, David Neal,; sister, Lauren NealMannenbach,; brother-in-law, Cavan Mannenbach,; brother, Garet Neal,; mother-in-law, Nancy Jonske,; father-in-law, Fred Jonske,; brother-in-law, Kurt Jonske,; sister-in-law, Desiree Almodovar,; two nieces, two nephews and many cousins, aunts, and uncles.

A private memorial service will be held for immediate family, followed by a public celebration of life in the spring of 2022. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Whitney Elliott Neal Jonske Memorial Fund at the Catlin Gabel School.

William (Bill) James Schaffer Feb. 19, 1947 - Sept. 10, 2021

W

illiam (Bill) Schaffer was born in Des Moines, Iowa on February 19, 1947 to James Clifford Schaffer and Maida Bice.

Two years later his sister was born into the family. The family moved to Southern California where Bill married and had two children, Christy and Sandy. Bill was preceded in death by both his sister and his parents.

Bill then moved to Southern Oregon and managed a Chevron Service station for several years, and on to Woodburn, Oregon where he owned his own Texaco service station, and did mechanic work for thirteen years.

While living in Woodburn, Bill and Sharon DeHart met each other through mutual friends, Chuck and Naomi Adams, and started dating.

They married on September 3, 1988. Bill and Sharon lived in Newberg, where he worked for a Japanese lighting company as a machinist for twelve years before retiring in 2009. He and Sharon had great fun snow birding for the next five years—between Newberg, Oregon, and Yuma and Parker, Arizona.

They were state park hosts for several years at River Island State Park, in Parker.

They also hosted in Oregon State Parks; with Wallowa in Eastern Oregon being their favorite.

Bill was a somewhat quiet man, but full of easy laughter and fun. People loved to be has already awarded close to $3,000 of the grant this fall to assist TBCC Students.

Lawrence said students do not need to apply for the funding; it is automatically credited to their account when they enroll in a qualified CTE program.

The grant helps students who may need things like boots or gloves for welding; scrubs and stethoscopes for the healthcare programs; and fingerprinting, and licensing requirements for EMTs, among other things that a student would typically pay for out of pocket.

around him. He taught line dancing for several years at the Senior Center and Elk’s Club in McMinnville, Oregon. Bill liked being active—taking dancing lessons, clamming with Sharon, and crabbing with church friends.

He also enjoyed zipping around their property on his riding mower, working on projects around the house, and walking 5-7 miles three times a week. He enjoyed a little friendly competition playing games of all sorts with friends. He will be greatly missed.

Bill grew up as a Christian and attended the Methodist Church with his parents. After he and Sharon were married, they became a part of the Zion Lutheran Church in Newberg where he served as Financial Secretary for many years. When they moved to the coast in 2016, they made many dear friends at the Tillamook Nazarene Church, where they loved on people at Celebrate Recovery, and helped serve meals at Open Table. During these years Bill grew closer to the Lord than ever before.

As he went to the ambulance, Bill told his wife he was ready to go if it was his time. God took him home on the afternoon of September 10, 2021. He was able to wish his beloved wife of 33 years a Happy Anniversary in a call from the hospital seven days before he went to be with Jesus.

Bill is survived by his wife, Sharon. Step son Trevor DeHart, his wife Larissa, and their children: Tatiana, and her husband Colby Amaral, Tessa DeHart, Tavin DeHart, and Tennyson DeHart. Step son Troy DeHart, and his children: Fallon, and her son Lincoln Shaffer, Talia and her husband Dave Quillen, and daughter Tristyn DeHart. And grandson Chase Young.

Tillamook Bay Community College has CTE degrees and certificates in the fields of healthcare, manufacturing and industrial technology, agricultural technology, criminal justice, and business administration.

The Bright Line for Me - Protecting Oregon’s schoolchildren David Gomberg State Rep.

G

etting our kids and grandkids safely back into school has got to be priority one.

As parents, students, and educators anxiously return to in-person learning this week, it’s important to keep in mind where we were this time last year. While the ramifications of COVID-19 devastated communities, shuttered businesses, and left so many of us uncertain about the future, our kids were forced into a remote learning environment built on compromises for the sake of public health.

This March, Governor Brown announced a return

to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year.

Let’s keep it that way.

The decision to shift to remote learning last year was a choice no one wanted to make. Clearly, the best place for our kids’ social and educational development is in the classroom.

Nonetheless, circumstances led us to a school year in which everyone struggled -our educators, our parents, and certainly our children.

Educators scrambled to figure out ways they could adapt their curricula to suit the unique landscape of online learning. Working parents, already contending with the challenges of the pandemic and a lack of childcare opportuni-

ties were abruptly forced into the position of homeeducator. Businesses that could open found they had fewer employees to open with. And children were separated from their schools and deprived of the social experiences and much of the professional support they needed. Needless to say, this was not an ideal situation.

With the new school year looming, I fear that if we don’t take action now, we risk compromising another year of our kids’ education.

Unfortunately, the situation with the Delta variant has been rapidly evolving.

Communities are struggling, our hospitals are at capacity, and very sadly, we are seeing too many fatalities. Our

children are at lower risk, but are still unvaccinated and vulnerable.

At present, every corner of our state is contending with ICUs reaching capacity. This means that not only will COVID-19 patients have a hard time getting the emergency treatment they need, but so too will the rest of the population that may require a stay at the ICU for any number of reasons, like a heart attack, stroke, or even an auto or workplace accident. This month, the Oregon National Guard was deployed to hospitals around the state to assist our medical workers dealing with the recent surge.

I get mail expressing frustration that students will

be required to wear masks while in indoor classrooms.

Masks, while inconvenient, offer an effective layer of protection against the spread of COVID-19 and its highly contagious delta variant.

One of our Superintendents told me it is a small price to pay for getting schools open again.

Keeping our kids healthy should certainly be our first concern, but we can’t forget how important in-person learning truly is. Until we have a vaccine for children under 12, it’s more important than ever that community leaders, educators, and parents step up to keep our kids safe, and to also keep them in the classroom.

It’s imperative that we

encourage and maintain social distancing and to promote proper hygiene among our students. It’s imperative that we encourage proper mask usage and promote a robust and engaging learning environment. But most importantly, it’s imperative that we do everything we can to prevent needless community spread of COVID-19 so we can keep our schools open and accessible to the students and parents that rely on them.

Our kids and grandkids deserve our support, our sacrifice, and our kindness.

So let’s get vaccinated, mask up, and keep this school year safe, productive, and open.

Wheeler leaders add volunteers to workers compensation policy Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer Wheeler City Council agreed in a meeting Tuesday, Sept. 21, to add the city’s volunteers to the workers compensation policy.

In the past, the city’s insurance carrier has provided the city’s worker compensation insurance. They discontinued this line of insurance earlier this year and are now acting as broker for SAIF and providing the same coverage.

During the meeting, Council President Jim King said the only volunteers currently covered by the workers compensation policy are the council and mayor. The proposal is to cover all volunteers in Wheeler equally.

“Emergency volunteers especially are the ones that deserve special treatment and deserve that coverage,” King said.

Cost for emergency response volunteers would be $2.62 per $100 of payroll.

Since they are volunteers, they are unpaid, so the payroll is based on Oregon’s minimum wage of $12.

“The number of hours based on $5,000 of coverage is 416 hours,” King said.

Based on these hours, the annual cost would be $9.50 for volunteers and elected officials and $131 for emergency response members.

All volunteers are covered by the city’s liability insurance if they are signed up and approved as volunteers. If while performing volunteer duties, the volunteer injures someone else or damages their property, the insurance would defend the city, and pay a claim, if there is negli-

gence on the volunteer’s part.

King said the liability protects the city but not the volunteer if they are injured.

Once the city agrees for coverage, the insurance will give $5,000 assumed coverage.

King said Manzanita covers their emergency volunteers and Nehalem recently agreed to cover theirs. King proposed to include all volunteers as long as they are signed up and approved by the city.

“I think we need a little bit more information about the true costs of providing this for all our volunteers, what the ramifications are,” Councilor Mike Glowa said. “I just think it’s premature to do this tonight, to approve it.”

King said the councilors have the information about the cost. Each volunteer has to report when the start and stop, which is the responsibility of the lead of the volunteer team.

“Each volunteer reports the time to the team leader,” King said. “In the case of the emergency response volunteers, it doesn’t matter what they’re doing, whether a meeting or responding to an emergency, workers compensation companies charge the same.”

The city has all the documents showing all the hours, King added. The insurance company performs a yearly audit on the workers compensation, King.

“One time a year, we do paperwork,” King said.

The council approved to add all volunteers to the workers compensation policy.

AG warns of job scams Recently, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum learned about several fake job postings targeting individuals interested in applying for jobs at the Oregon Department of Justice.

The fake job listings are created by scraping legitimate websites, such as LinkedIn, and then substituting false information and embedding links which lead to website(s) that are used to harvest personally identifiable information.

By posing as a legitimate recruitment site, the scammers then collect personally identifiable information from unsuspecting individuals which is then sold.

Please be extra cautious if you receive unsolicited job announcements. To protect yourself from fake job scams, review these tips: 1. Conduct a web search of the hiring company using the company name only. Results that return multiple websites for the same company (abccompany.com and abccompanyllc.com) may indicate fraudulent job listings.

2. Legitimate companies will ask for personally identifiable information and bank account information for payroll purposes after hiring employees. This information is safer to give in-person. If inperson contact is not possible, a video call with the potential employer can confirm identity, especially if the company has

a directory against which to compare employee photos.

3. Never send money to someone you meet online, especially by wire transfer.

4. Never provide credit card information to an employer.

5. Never provide bank account information to employers without verifying their identity.

6. Do not accept any job offers that ask you to use your own bank account to transfer their money. A legitimate company will not ask you to do this.

7. Never share your Social Security number or other personal identifiable information that can be used to access your accounts with someone who does not need to know this information.

8. Before entering personal identifiable information online, make sure the website is secure by looking at the address bar. The address should begin with [https://]https://, not [http://]http://.

For information on how to avoid phishing scams, review the tips in this handy one pager, https://www.doj.state.or.us/ wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ DOJ-Do_Not_Click-Flyer.pdf And, if you have been a victim of a fake job listing, please file a complaint online at www.oregonconsumer.gov or call the Oregon Attorney General’s Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9393.

GARDENING MATTERS

succulent of the month: Stonecrop Sedums

GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT

When most gardeners think of sedums they think of the late summer bloomers called Stonecrop ‘Autumn Joy.’ Even if you don’t have this sedum in your garden, you will recognize it in other local gardens as it is a staple in the coastal garden.

The Stonecrop portion of the name denotes a type of sedum that does well in rocky soils you will find in a rock garden, thus the “stone.”

Sedums are a genus from the Crassulacea family, which also includes the ubiquitous Jade Plant. Many of the sedums are low-growing ground covers and have fleshy leaves of the typical succulent. While these are tough, easy-to-grow plants, they won’t take foot traffic like some other groundcovers and are best used in borders or pots. They will fill in nicely in an area that has well-drained soil with full sun. But mine have partial sun at best and they do well, too.

The ‘Autumn Joy’ Stonecrops (Sedum spectabile)

are a little taller than other sedums, and can be very dramatic in the September and early October flower beds. They have a rounded, blue-green fleshy leaf that is about 3 inches wide. The ‘Autumn Joy’ flowers in shades of pink that turn to a coppery red and finally to a rust as the weather gets cooler. The dried flower heads will last through the winter giving some interest in a time when there is little else to enjoy.

In colder climates, these will die back to the ground.

But with our mild climate on the Oregon Coast, the S. spectabile will stay all year, and can even get quite tall, stretching to 18 inches or more. This is especially true if they do not have full sun. Easy fix to this one: I pinch the tops of the plants off periodically from about May to mid-July. Then they can grow as tall as they like.

This also delays the blooming period a few weeks. And as an added bonus, the tops you pinch off can be rooted in succulent soil for a couple of months and planted back out into the garden for a larger display.

Most other shorter, groundcover sedums will last the winter without further tending. They can also be kept in check by dividing them in the early spring and transplanting to other spots or sharing. There are a few that won’t do well in our

Zone 9, but these should be planted into pots rather than into flower beds so you can bring them inside or at least put them under shelter for the winter.

As with most succulents, the sedum genus will do best with limited water, making them great for our drier summers. But those being planted outside will need that well-drained soil like the rest of the succulents.

You won’t be disappointed with a few Stonecrop sedum placed in strategic spots in the garden. Yet another succulent to add to your repertoire.

Before I close out this week - and this month - September is the prime time to order those spring bulbs for 2022. Tulips, daffodils and

crocus all need a period of being refrigerated if they are to do well on our mild coast.

Since most of them come from mountainous areas of the world, we need to trick them into thinking it is winter. So, order as soon as you find the ones you like and ask for prompt delivery so you can put them in the frig for at least six weeks. This means you will be planting them out in November. I know that is a horrid thought with the winter rains coming, but I am sure you can find a window of opportunity to get those bulbs in the ground. They will reward you with a showy spring display. Just make sure the soil they are planted in is (again) well-draining so the bulbs don’t rot.

Coastal Caucus requests disaster relief for commercial salmon industry

On Thursday, Sept. 9, the Legislative Coastal Caucus urged Governor Brown to formally request federal disaster relief for Oregon’s commercial salmon industry for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons.

“Oregon’s commercial salmon industry is a cornerstone of our coastal economy. Especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever that the men and women operating our salmon troll vessels and fisheries are given the support they need to contend with the diminished landings of the past three years.”

The 2020 fleet-wide salmon landings of approximately $1.5 million in value represents a historic low only surpassed by the results of the season closure in 2009, which saw landing values totaling roughly $345,000. 2018 and 2019, while marginally better years for salmon landings com-

pared to 2020, also saw results far below the 2016 season, which was declared a disaster at a fleet-wide $4.3 million. Salmon landings in both 2018 and 2019 sit at $2.4 million and $2.1 million respectively.

In response to the 2016 and 2017 commercial salmon season, the U.S. Department of Commerce allocated $20 million to eleven west coast fisheries in 2018. The 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons have seen little improvement, with combined salmon landings for the past three years barely exceeding the combined landings of the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

The Coastal Caucus worked together with the Oregon Salmon Commission in presenting the request.

“This is about more than just the preservation of one of Oregon’s most iconic industries. This

about the hardworking men and women of our commercial salmon industry who have been harmed by circumstances beyond their control. Our commercial salmon industry needs the reassurance that the State of Oregon and the federal government are willing to lend their support during difficult times.”

The Oregon Legislative Coastal Caucus includes bipartisan representatives and senators from coastal districts from Astoria to Brookings. It is chaired by Representative David Gomberg (D-Otis), Vice-Chair Senator Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City), and includes Senators Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) and Dallas Heard (R-Roseburg) and Representatives Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook), Boomer Wright (R-Coos Bay), and David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford).

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) announced Wednesday, Sept. 22, that $100,000 in marketing grant funds is available to tourism-related businesses and organizations in Tillamook County. This is an annual grant round, which started in 2015, soon after the tourism organization was established by the county.

To date, TCVA has awarded $727,000 in grants to dozens of business and nonprofits for a wide range of marketing projects. This new cycle will bring the total to $827,000.

Applications open Friday, Sept. 24; download the Application Packet at https://tillamookcoast.com/grants then. Also on that page is an on-demand grant and budget writing webinar to guide you through the process. Deadline for submission is Dec. 1. The TCVA board of directors will score and rank applications according to set criteria.

In fall 2020, TCVA partnered with the Tillamook Coast Creamery Association, which matched the annual amount by 100%, bringing the total funding to $200,000. The Marketing Resiliency Grant helped 90 businesses recover and thrive from COVID-related setbacks.

“This year, we’re encouraging businesses and nonprofits that have never applied before, or those who have but are undertaking new projects,” said Amy Blackburn, deputy director of finance and administration for TCVA. “The projects must be tourism-related, as the funding is subject to Oregon state law about the use of transient lodging taxes.”

This year, TCVA is asking that applicants consider how they can sustain marketing efforts, and how projects support sustainable tourism, defined as a positive impact on the community and creates economic vitality. Projects that focus on outdoor recreation should also state how the project supports stewardship of natural resources.

The grant application includes a sample list of activities that qualify, but projects are by no means limited to those suggestions. In the past, grants have supported social media programs, website development, events, brochures, videos, sponsored content, tradeshow participation, exhibits, billboards, and collaborative efforts with other businesses.

“TCVA is always available to help applicants with their marketing ideas, planning and budgeting,” said Blackburn.

“If the application is submitted at least 14 days in advance of the deadline, we can review it and make suggestions if requested.”

Study finds 2020 Labor Day fires significantly impacted Oregon’s forest sector Oregon’s forest-dependent businesses and industries suffered an estimated $5.9 billion in economic losses as a result of the Labor Day wildfires that one year ago burned more than a million acres across the western part of the state, a newly released study commissioned by the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) concludes.

Conducted by experts from the natural resource consulting firm Mason, Bruce & Girard, in partnership with the forestry economic analysis and forecasting firm Forest Economic Advisors, the 104-page study looked at the economic impacts of last year’s Labor Day fires on Oregon’s forest sector, which ranged from lost timber and logging equipment to forest restoration efforts made more difficult by a shortage of tree seedlings.

The “Labor Day 2020 Fires: Economic Impacts to Oregon’s Forest Sector” study report can be downloaded at https://bit.ly/3tpLfd3 The report looks at the various ways forest landowners and businesses, such as logging companies and sawmills, were affected by last year’s fires, finding that the Labor Day wildfires had substantial impacts on the sector, and will continue to impact Oregon’s timber supply, forestrelated employment and other economic factors well into the future.

The analysis focuses on the fires’ impact in terms of acreage burned and timber lost across public and private forestland, the economic value of timber lost in the fires, the potential to salvage timber burned in the fires, and the long-term impact on future timber supply to the state’s wood products manufacturing sector. The study also investigated the scale and costs of needed post-fire forest restoration, including infrastructure repair, erosion control, stream protection and reforestation.

About the Oregon Forest Resources Institute: The Oregon Legislature created the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) in 1991 to support and enhance Oregon’s forest products industry by advancing public understanding of forests, forest management and forest products, and encouraging sustainable forestry through landowner education. A 13-member board of directors governs OFRI. A portion of the forest products harvest tax funds it.
