2013: A year of ups and downs By Joe Wrabek jwrabek@countrymedia.net As Charles Dickens wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” We saw some new faces in the news in 2013 – new city councilors, a new county commissioner and late in the year, four new faces on the Til-

LONGEST-RUNNING BUSINESS IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY SINCE 1888
Back By Sayde Moser smoser@countrymedia.net In 1963, Rich Riley hung up his boxing gloves. A bout with Ron Marsh, who later was named Ring magazine’s fighter of the year and listed in the top three heavyweight challengers, left Riley shaking – literally. He and Marsh fought to a six-round draw, but it took Riley months to recover. A career that began at age 13 and lasted a decade, taking him nationwide, was at an end. Riley had won tournaments in the Golden Gloves featherweight, bantamweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions. Now residing in Rockaway Beach, he still holds a handful of records. In 1959, Riley joined the U.S. Air Force and boxed his way through the service, participating in at least 45 bouts at the Golden Gloves level. After his two-year military tour was up, he was offered a professional contract, but turned it down. At about that time, following his bout with Marsh, Riley said he developed symptoms of pugilistic parkinson’s syndrome, also known as boxer’s disease. Doctors told him that if he continued to fight, the shaking would only get worse. So he quit.

2 boys in the ring, want to 50 years later help by buying a farm By Sayde Moser smoser@countrymedia.net

For the first time in five decades, Golden Gloves champ Rich Riley returns to the ring, this time to tutor 16-year-old Chris Henley.

For two Tillamook boys, the spirit of giving didn’t stop once the Christmas presents were unwrapped. Samuel and Nicholas Smith, with help from their parents, have been busy the last month and a half collecting pop cans and selling candy bars to raise money to buy a farm in a Third World country. “It will help 10 families,” explained Nicholas, 6. “And then more, because [the farm] will keep producing.” The brothers learned about the opportunity to purchase a farm through World Vision while reading a magazine in their church. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization with roots in nearly 100 countries. Its primary mission is to help the children of the world. “They asked me why these families needed a farm,” recalled their mom, Briar Smith. “So I said some families would die without it. And that was very disturbing to them.” One farm costs $2,300. The Smiths won’t know what country it’s in until after they have purchased it.

Second-worst bridge in state to get makeover By Dave Fisher The Headlight Herald
A long-awaited replacement of the aging Lommen Bridge, which spans the Nehalem River on Miami-Foley Road, will get underway in the spring of 2015 and be completed by the fall of 2016. Tillamook County Public Works Director Liane Welch, speaking to the Manzanita City Council, said the 382-foot bridge, which dates to 1955, shifted on its foundation as much as 3 inches during the severe December 2007 storm when debris carried by the river stacked up against the base of the bridge. Welch said the bridge has been rated the second-worst in the state in terms of safety, one notch behind Portland’s Sellwood Bridge, which currently is being replaced. During phase one of constructing the new bridge, the existing one, located 40 feet to the west, will remain in place. At least one lane will remain open for travel at all times. The following year, after the completion of the new bridge, the old

The Lommen Bridge, which spans the Nehalem River and dates back to 1955, will be replaced starting next year. span will be removed. Now that project surveys have completed and the design and permitting process is underway, Welch said, she expects to go out for bids in March 2015. Miami-Foley Road serves as an
alternate route for a portion of U.S. Highway 101, Welch said, linking north Tillamook County to its neighbors to the south in the event the main coastal highway is closed. “If the existing bridge were to fail, we no longer would have this vital link during
an emergency,” she said. Incorporated in the plan for the new bridge is a relief bridge about 200 feet from the main bridge above the flood plain of the Nehalem River, to take pressure off the main structure during high water and allow water and woody debris to pass underneath, keeping the road from being washed out. Of the $10 million awarded for the project, 90 percent is federally funded with the remaining 10 percent requiring a local “match.” One early estimate has the project coming in at $12.5 million, Welch said, in which case there are contingency funds to cover the added cost. While the structural design has been approved, Welch is seeking public input on the “artistic treatment” of the north and south ends of the bridge. “I really don’t want to build ugly bridges,” she said. Among the treatments for the ends of the bridge are three options – a pillar with a pole adorned by a sculpture of a fish or perhaps a bird; a long, gradual upward curve to the pillars; and a vertical, slab-like pillar.

Manzanita closer to getting new park
By Dave Fisher For the Headlight Herald Apparently, the third time was a charm as the City of Manzanita was awarded a grant in July from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to acquire the property for an open space park at the eastern edge of the city’s urban growth boundary adjacent to Manzanita Meadows subdivision. In partnership with the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, the city had twice before – in 2011 and, again, in 2012 – applied for the grant and came out on the short end of the stick. “Every year we traveled to Bend to make our presentation,” said City Manager Jerry Taylor, who credits former LNCT board member Nancy Chase with dodereding much of the “leg work” $740to help secure the grant. This Idzalyear, with OPRD approvuent-ing 22 proposed projects, olledthe proposed park came in ass Aat number 19 on the list, acon orcording to Taylor. was In addition to laying most roba-of the groundwork on the project and providing the urtonland donations and cash for guiltythe City of Manzanita to ssionprovide the grant match, the lony,LNCT will organize the det. 13,velopment of the park and encedwill provide maintenance for nt offive years.

The Manzanita il forCity Council at its December meeting got its first look at the documents and still needs to approve the conditions under which the city would receive the option to buy the property, something Taylor says he expects will happen in January. “Although the city has no plans to do any kind of development of the park other than what was on the grant application, the deed restrictions would apply in perpetuity. Although the park is mostly a natural area, a future
S
council might wish to put structures on the site which complement the park use and the educational purpose of the park,” stated Taylor in a memo to city councilors. While the city and LNCT were in general agreement about the “natural” aspect of the park, the initial draft of the deed restrictions contained language that would essentially preclude a future council from building any man-made structures on the site. “I don’t think it is in the public’s best interest for the city to bind itself and not have that choice,” said Taylor at the December council meeting. After further discussions, a compromise position was hammered out allowing for complementary structures in the future but limiting the area of the park in which structures may be built. In addition, the revised proposal contains a mechanism for the City of Manzanita to change the deed restrictions in the future after consultation with the LNCT Board. Though concerned that the city may be viewed as the “bad guys” as a result of its concerns with the language in the initial draft agreement, Mayor Garry Bullard indicated he was looking forward to finally closing the deal.
“This represents an opportunity, in partnership with the Lower Nehalem Community
Trust, to save property from development on the cusp of the bay,” he said.
Now, half a century since his last fight, Riley is back in the gym – not to fight, but to teach. Sixteen-year-old Chris Henley has been boxing for five years. During a bout a few months ago, at which Riley served as an honorable judge, something caught the old fighter’s eye. “I just saw myself in that kid,” Riley said. “He’s a good kid and I could see that instantly. I could see it in his eyes.” Henley, a student at Tillamook High School, had found himself matched against a fighter several years older and nearly 100 pounds heavier. “I went up to the officials and I said, ‘Don’t you ever do that to that kid again,’” Riley said. “You do that and you’ll break his heart. You’ll break his spirit.” Riley knew from experience. At age 16 he lost his only bout, to Jerome Seaman, 10 years Riley’s senior. “I was ready to quit,” he remembers. “It just broke me.” Hoping to offer Henley some encouragement and words of wisdom, Riley began visiting the young boxer at Blend of Zen, a mixed-martial arts gym in Tillamook. “It wasn’t just his boxing that impressed me,” Riley said, “it was his manners. Everything out of this kid’s mouth is ‘yes-sir’ and ‘yes-ma’am.’” Riley offered to help Henley train for his next bout, on Feb. 15. The two now are training together a few times a week. Riley even bought Henley boxing gloves, trunks and shoes for his workouts. “I watch him go through his routine,” Riley said, “see if he has any bad habits I can help him curb.” “Rich dedicating his time says a lot about a generation that’s since been lost,” said Blend of Zen owner Eric Beggs. Henley next month will be fighting 21-year-old Daniel Moreno. “When I found that out, I couldn’t sleep all that night,” Henley admitted. That’s normal, Riley assured him. “I used to get so nervous before a fight that I’d almost throw up,” he said. Even though it’s been 50 years, Riley says he sees relatively few changes in boxing.
Other than it’s a little less of a “gentleman’s sport.” “What’s with all this trashtalking?” he wonders. “We just didn’t do that in my day. We always behaved like gentlemen and treated each other with respect. Boxing taught you how to be respectful and polite, not the opposite.” It also taught self-confidence, Riley said. “I never went out looking for trouble. But I always knew that when I had a date, there wouldn’t be any trouble. I just wasn’t afraid to go anywhere.” “You’re ready for trouble, but you don’t go looking for it,” added Henley. He said he plans to enlist in the U.S. Army when he’s finished with school, and might even box his way through the service like Riley did. Still, “I don’t really picture myself going big, “ said Henley. “I’d just like to get the ladies and protect myself at the same time,” he added, laughing. But one thing’s for sure, he won’t be sitting around Tillamook doing nothing. “I can’t see myself doing anything but the service,” he said. “And even if I don’t pursue boxing, I’ll still box for fun. It’s a great sport.” “He’ll carry this with him forever,” Riley mused. “He will walk with an air of confidence that people who look for trouble will sense. He might not go looking for trouble, but if it comes I guarantee you he’ll be able to take care of himself.” “Even with that smile he’s got, he’s confident,” Riley added. “It’s not cocky if you can do it. I’m just excited for him; he’s got a career ahead of himself if he wants it.” Meantime, Henley is prepping for his next fight and soaking up everything Riley has to teach. “You really never lost a fight?” he asked. “None that I’ll tell you about,” Riley answered with a grin. In truth, “I sparred 10 rounds for every bout I fought,” Riley said. “Nobody realizes that. And I got more hurt sparring than I ever did fighting.” Yet the biggest lesson in boxing isn’t the physical, or even the self-confidence. “It’s about how to always be a gentleman,” Henley answered. “Never forget that,” Riley encouraged.

Learning ways to boost your brain By Leslie Sauer Executive Director at Prestige Senior Living Five Rivers Exercise doesn’t stop at hitting the gym. Your most useful tool, your brain, needs to be challenged just like your muscles do to stay strong. Especially as we age, it’s important to keep the mind sharp and active – studies have shown that an active brain can ward against Alzheimer’s and dementia. Here are some fun ways to keep your noggin in shape. PLAY! Many teens are loath to hearing that playing video games kills brain cells and are bad for our health. But what if that wasn’t exactly true? Recent studies show some video games challenge the brain and promote healthy aging. Playing an active video game like Nintendo Wii not only offers physical benefits, but it can increase attention span, sharpen reflexes and improve your ability to quickly process information. Board games, puzzles and card games have similar benefits for the brain. The National Institute on Aging says that certain games stimulate brain cells, keeping neural pathways in shape. Find a game requiring plenty of concentration, reasoning and memorization such as Yahtzee, Scrabble, Pinochle and Sudoku. Once you’ve mastered one, learn a new one to keep your brain on the
READ! Reading isn’t just a peaceful way to spend an afternoon – studies show it can help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia. In fact, many people of all ages find that reading the newspaper daily at a set time, over coffee or breakfast, for example, will keep you informed and educated about the world and improve your brain health. Another great way to keep your nose in a book is to join a book club. The scheduled reading will keep you on track, and you’ll enjoy the added benefit of socializing with fellow readers. LEARN! It’s never too late to learn something new. Push your boundaries and try something different. Whether it’s learning to Skype to stay connected with far-away family or learning a new recipe from a friend, challenging yourself yields many benefits. Studies show that learning as we age helps reduce cognitive decline associated with aging and promotes a healthy self-image. Many colleges encourage older adults to sit in on classes and “audit” them, giving you the benefits of learning without the added stress of exams.

READER’S OPEN FORUM No more visiting Tillamook County for us To the citizens of Tillamook County: I want to thank you for effectively killing the tourist trade in your county when you imposed a 10 percent tax, fee, or whatever you want to call it on people who come to stay in your county. You may have thought it smart, but I assure you it was not. I know quite a few people who will not be returning to Cape Lookout State Park as a result of your decision. Because I and others will not be returning we will not be spending money in your grocery stores, gas stations and other places of business. Hopefully this will be a costly lesson for the citizens who thought that killing the goose that laid the golden egg was a good idea. There is still time to rescind these fee/ tax before it is too late. Mike and Diana Lerma (been coming to Cape Lookout for 22 years) Castle Rock, Wash.
RE: Setting clear rules for our area trails In response to Jim Jen-
kins letter about the south trail from the top of Cape Lookout down to the beach and the comment about “trail cutting;” the “trail cutting” trail is the original trail and was in existence long before the switchback trail was put in. While the switchback cut the original trail many times we did not complain, but will continue to use the original trail when going from the trailhead to the beach. This from a lifelong resident of this county. B. Walty Pacific City
Celebrating 43 years of serving For 43 years within our south county community, neighbors have helped neighbors. By providing Christmas dinners and gifts for many families and seniors in our area, this compassionate spirit again helped put smiles on a lot of faces. The Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program wishes to thank the many donors who gave money, food and purchased giving tree gifts; Santa’s helpers who collected those items and sorted food, packed food boxes, wrapped gifts, delivered the baskets and par-
ticipated in any way to help make sure that our neighbors in need had a brighter Christmas. Because of your generosity we were able to serve 91 families and seniors this year. Have a Very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year Teresa Smith Pacific City
Netarts Bay resources need to be shared John Stahl in a letter to the editor in mid-December described well our situation in Netarts Bay, where it appears there will soon be a total of two dozen plats leased for commercial oyster bed development and harvest. I have not talked to John Stahl, but I share his concern. Last summer I visited the Oregon Department of Agriculture in Salem for information on one of these plat requests, which would cover 32 acres in the bay. It was difficult to learn from the staff there about the overall average on Netarts Bay being leased, the acreage remaining for public use and the cumulative effects of all uses on the ecology on the bay. I could not tell that any analysis had been done. This ecology is unique
and once it is significantly impacted I don’t believe it will ever recover. I believe this estuary resource should be shared between the private interests and the public. I ask that our county commissioners assist us as concerned citizens in learning more fro the ODA, preferably though a meeting here in Tillamook County with a meaningful exchange of concerns, information and date. As John Stahl states, action must be taken now. Linda Hofman Netarts
It’s time to address the ‘marijuana nuisance’ I have noted several comments pertaining to my letter about the marijuana trailer parked next to my front driveway on Hill Street in Pacific City. The usual “alcohol is worse than marijuana” argument (is strychnine worse than cyanide?) and the “war on drugs doesn’t work” argument are classic and very much worn out. Users will go to any length to rationalize and defend their habit. As a veteran community pharma-

GUEST COLUMNS
It could save your life - it did mine By Ed Ketzel Colonoscopy survivor The letter came. Time for another colonoscopy. I had been expecting it. I am 60. Three years had past since the last one. Not looking forward to it, but at the same time knowing something was wrong; I had not been feeling right. I had been doing my best to get in shape. Walking my dog daily, eating well, and exercising. Lost some weight, and managed to get off my blood pressure meds. I made the appointment to see Dr. Pitts, the surgeon who did my last one. After telling him what was going on, he had me scheduled for an exam. Again I went through the bowel prep, and again I plotted his demise. I found that I could have chicken noodle soup without the chicken or noodles. Strain it, and it tastes better than broth. Believe me. Popcicles are a wonderful thing too when you are hungry. Lots of them. Nothing after midnight. By then I didn’t want anything. Except for maybe a little song and dance. A surgeons head on a lance. Oops. Ah well. Arriving at Tillamook Regional Medical Center for my appointment, I was once again
impressed by the constant checking of my name, and what I was there for. Name band in place, and still I was asked who I am, and what procedure am I going to have. As I said it was a comfort to me the effort to make sure I was me. I was a good deal more relaxed about it this time, and at the same time wondering what would be found. Laying back as my blood pressure was taken and they were hooking me up my doctor once more came to ask if I had any questions. No I replied just answers. Another technician asked me a couple of questions, and I woke up. Ice chips, and a nurse helping me to sit up. I felt fine. Time for answers. Dr. Pitts found only one small polyp this time around, but he did not like how my colon looked, and ordered a CAT scan to find out more. Alright. This is one neat machine. Drink a bottle of flavored stuff, and get put through a donut looking thing that takes a bunch of pictures. I got too look at the pictures too. The result was I needed surgery. A section of my colon was badly infected, and was in contact with my bladder. It needed to be resectioned. No way to

County-wide New Year’s resolutions By Joe Wrabek Reporter Happy New Year, everybody. It is customary at this time of year, as the days grow longer (even if the weather’s growing colder), to make lists of things we’d really like to accomplish in the coming year. We regularly do that individually. What about resolving some things we could accomplish collectively? This is, after all, a community that has a habit of doing things together. As the Resident Iconoclast here at the paper, I’d like to propose a few ideas. They are, for the most part, things I’ve fulminated about before, in “guest columns” on the editorial page. I am as usual not expecting anyone to agree with me; I would hope they might stimulate some discussion – and some ideas of your own. Here’s my list: ONE: Get the federal government – second-biggest landowner in Tillamook County – to start paying property taxes (or the equivalent) on their landholdings. The whole idea behind cutting trees – which they’ve mostly stopped doing – wasn’t to cut trees, it was to generate money to compensate the county and school
districts for all that land not being privately owned, not being developed, and not paying taxes – something the federal government appears to no longer be interested in or to care about. My idea – which I still think has merit – is to send the feds a property-tax bill, and then foreclose when they didn’t pay. I’m sure it would end up in court – which would allow us to have a very frank and loud discussion about our collective victimization. TWO: Start producing vehicle fuel out of all that cow manure. It’s an exercise in “autarky” – becoming selfsufficient in natural resources. Currently, the only things we produce enough of locally to satisfy local demand are milk, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. Every drop of fuel used in Tillamook County has to be trucked in from somewhere else. No, not every vehicle could reasonably take advantage of a conversion to methane fuel – but look at all the vehicles that don’t have to leave the county, or don’t go far if they do: school buses, the Wave buses, city and county fleets, farm machinery… Is there grant money available for a

Baertlein to chair Tillamook County Commission By Joe Wrabek jwrabek@countrymedia.net Bill Baertlein will be chairing the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners in 2014, beginning Jan. 1. “We have a longstanding practice to rotate the chairmanship on Jan. 1,” said the commissioners’ chief of staff, Paul Levesque. “The vice-chair from the prior year becomes the chair.” Baertlein was vice-chair of the board of commissioners in 2013. County Commissioner Tim Josi will become vice-chair in 2014. Mark Labhart was the commission’s chair in 2013. In other business recently, the Tillamook County commissioners: • Approved a liquor li-

Letters Continued from Page A4 cist in the valley and at the coast (in Tillamook) I am very familiar with the rhetoric that goes with drugs of abuse - and that includes marijuana. The purpose of my letter was to alert residents of Tillamook County to one of the potential problems that the “medical marijuana” law could cause them and the possible solution. It appears that I have succeeded. While researching the county ordinances I came across an ordinance that prohibits the keeping of livestock in a residential area within 100 feet of a residence. This is because of a possible malodorous situation and the vermin that may be attracted. I don’t know about you, but I much prefer the odor of a horse over the odor of a skunk and much prefer four legged vermin over the two legged variety. Now that the “livestock nuisance” has been addressed in the rules of the county, it is time to address the “marijuana nuisance” along the same lines and I implore the commissioners to take appropriate action. Please join me in my request. And if anyone thinks that there is not a criminal element associated with marijuana (as is true with all drugs of abuse), then I suggest you put out your joint and talk to the sheriff. Leonard Leis Sheridan, Ore.

cense for De Garde Brewing, which is moving its brewery from a residential neighborhood in Tillamook to property owned by the Port of Tillamook Bay. • Approved a contract with Lincoln County for juvenile detention. Juvenile offenders had been housed at Youngs Bay in Clatsop County, but that facility is closing, Levesque said. • Authorized the repair of a major slide on Resort Drive, one of the main access roads to Pacific City. The alternative chosen will put part of the road on a viaduct. The Federal Highway Administration will pay 90 percent of the $1.4 million cost, commissioners were told, and the county’s 10 percent “match” will come out of its road bond funds.
Passengers said Powell would place his hand in his pocket as if holding a handgun as he made the threats. Officials said no firearm was found. Powell was held in the Washington County Jail on $20,000 bail and faces multiple charges, said the sheriff’s office. The bus was delayed for about an hour.
Tillamook firefighters say ‘thank you’ On behalf of the many Tillamook children who found a wonderful gift under the three this year, your volunteer firefighters say thank you to all who contributed so generously to our annual “Santa’s toy bag” drive. You donated hundreds of toys and over $2,000, which was used for gifts for teens in needy families. Thank you TLC Credit Union for allowing us to place our toy bag barrel in your facilities, and to Fred Myer for the fabulous allday event on Dec. 7. Thank you as well to the churches of the Tillamook Ecumenical Community, who run the Christmas baskets program for seeing that these toys got distributed to local children. Thank you to the shopper, the Headlight Herald and Coast 105 Radio for helping promote our program this year. The generosity of so many in our community has once again made this an “over the top” success. Rev. Mike Hanback, Chaplain Tillamook Fire Ditrict
Based upon preliminary information confirmed with ODOT’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), there were no known confirmed traffic fatalities in Oregon during the 30-hour Christmas holiday period that began 6 p.m., Dec. 24, and ended 11:59 p.m., Dec. 25. Tragically, a confirmed fatality did occur Tuesday, December 24 at approximately 2:45 p.m. in Multnomah County, but it happened before the start of the reporting period. If the preliminary information holds true, this was the second fatal-free Christmas holiday period since 1970. The only other known fatal-free holiday period occurred during a similar 30-hour reporting period in 1996. The deadliest Christmas holiday period occurred 30 years ago (1983) when ten people were killed in traffic crashes. Oregon State Police (OSP), Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association, Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, and ODOT thanks all drivers who showed zero tolerance for impaired driving by either ensuring a sober driver was operating their vehicle or reporting possible impaired drivers. OSP troopers reported 11 DUII arrests during the 30-hour period, two of which were tied to citizen reports to OSP dispatch centers. During last year’s 102-hour reporting period, three people died in three separate fatal traffic crashes and troopers reported 53 DUII arrests. Last year’s was one of the deadliest on record since 1970 as 12 fatalities were reported, including 9 deaths in the fatal Dec. 30 tour bus crash east of Pendleton. OSP, Oregon State
Sheriffs’ Association, Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, and ODOT urge everyone to continue to be committed to keeping our highways safer for all travelers with these simple but important safety tips: • Have designated drivers. Plan to have sober drivers at your party who can help get folks home safely. Volunteer to be a sober driver at someone else’s party. • Plan to stay overnight. Make pre-arrangements to stay overnight at your friend’s home or in a hotel room where you won’t have to drive if you have been drinking. • Monitor car keys. Collect your guests’ car keys at the beginning of your event. Then, talk with your guests before they leave about the best transportation options for them. • Be ready with a cab fare fund. Having available cash to pay cab fare for your guests if they need it reduces the stress on you. If you can’t afford to pay for it yourself, ask your guests to pitch in a few bucks on your invitation. And keep phone numbers handy. • Be responsible. If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don’t let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel. • Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out. • Buckle up, every trip, every time. • Drive defensively at all times. • Show zero tolerance for impaired driving. Report impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1 or OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (1-800-243-7865).

avoid it. We set the date. Another bowel prep. Am I lucky or not? Got ready for surgery, and into the surgical suite. As I sat down and looked around the anesthesiologist talked to me about an epidural. I agreed as it was my best option. What happened was he swabbed my back with a solution he keeps in the freezer to sterilize the area, and insert the tube. Talk about take a deep breath. WHEW. After he taped a cover over it he had me lay down, and while talking to me did something and I woke up in a room. First off, no pain. None, zip, nothing at all. Pulling back the cover I saw a bandage on my belly, so I knew it had been done. No PAIN. I have had no pain at all from a major operation. Back ache has been it. I was on
New Continued from Page A4 mass conversion of vehicles to run on methane? With all the hoopla about “green energy,” you’d think there would be. THREE: Do something with that World War II-vintage blimp hangar four miles south of Tillamook, that’s losing its Air Museum and needs a $15 million new roof (among other things). I’m still partial to my suggestion – re-routing Highway 101 so it ran through the thing, as a sort of free-standing tunnel (it would make the Port of Tillamook Bay’s industrial park accessible at the same time) – but there’s been a serious proposal to put a brewery there, too. What about relocating the courthouse there? County government apparently needs more space than is presently available in the current courthouse, and the blimp hangar would provide more space
than they’d ever need. (We could even have the brewery there, too. That could be fun.) That enough? I could suggest FOUR: reform county government to replace the three-paid-commissionerselected-at-large with a county manager and four (or five) unpaid commissioners elected by district – but I’ve been warned that one might not fly, because we currently have three very competent commissioners who are good at what they do, and that situation would have to change first. Or FIVE, which I haven’t editorialized about (yet) – incorporate Pacific City, which has all the trappings of city government except, well, a city government. That one could produce a neighboragainst-neighbor battle that would be the antithesis of community-wide cooperation, and might be best left off a “community” list. And there you have it – a laundry list of visionary things we might be able to pull off together. Your ideas?

my feet that night, and walking with a nurse the next day. Next day walking alone and the next I was walking as fast as there was room. I spent a total of seven days at Tillamook Regional. What impressed me most was the constant safety. Always checking the ID bracelet. Always using hand sanitizer. Always asking how I felt. What was my pain level? Did I need anything? Checking and rechecking. There was no sign of anything else wrong in my colon. The diseased section was removed, and my outlook is excellent. My surgery went more than well. I am on my way to a full recovery, and back to walking my dog. Next week I will see my surgeon again, and hopefully be released to resume normal activities. I am lucky. Never ignore abdominal pain, or any persistent pain. Did the colonoscopy save my life? Maybe.

Tillamook’s Tale of handball By Chelsea Yarnell Sports@orcoastnews.com
Photo by Chelsea Yarnell
Female wrestlers only contribute 8,727 athletes to the sport nationwide. Tillamook High School boasts two on its team.
Finding opportunities for growth over inequalities: high school girl wrestlers By Chelsea Yarnell Sports@orcoastnews.com Walking into Tillamook’s wrestling room, nearly threedozen boys get ready to practice: stretching, talking about technique, wrapping hurt ankles; a scene you would expect to find at most wrestling practices across the country. In the midst of the preparation, Tya Tharp and Eva Deutsch sit together, lacing up their shoes, just as intently preparing for practice as the boys. While they’re not the first girls to wrestle at Tillamook High School, they’re presence on the team is noteworthy, for they represent the very small
percentage of girls who are willing to participant in this traditionally boy-dominate sport. Of the nearly 75 wrestling participants from the three local high schools in Tillamook County, only three are girls. This ratio is almost identical at the state and national level. Brad Garrett, the assistant executive director for the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) estimates that Oregon state has around a 100 high school female wrestlers every year. And nationally, based on the National Federation of State High School Associations’ “High School Athletics Participation Survey” for the 2012-13 school year, they
found that only 8,727 high school girls nationwide participated in wrestling, compared to the 270, 163 boys that did last year. Tharp, a junior at Tillamook High School, has been wrestling since she was in eighth grade. Trying out for the team started as a joke between her and a friend, but has become something she continues to come back to year after year. “I started wrestling and I just liked how hard the work was, so I just stuck with it,” she said. When asked if she wished there were more girls to compete against, Tharp is impartial because she doesn’t know the difference. “I don’t know. I
hardly ever wrestle girls.” Her teammate Deutsch, a German exchange student in her senior year, is brand new to the sport this year and has a slightly different perspective. “I think it would be cool if more girls were there,” she said. “I just started and I’ve never done it before. It’s hard when you’re in the same weight class, even as a girl, and when you wrestle they’re much stronger than you are. So, it’s hard to get the experience in the beginning. If more girls were [here] there then you could.” Regardless of their preference, the two will face mostly boys in competition until championship time at the end

On a Wednesday afternoon, nine guys gather at the Tillamook YMCA to play some friendly, yet competitive handball. Armed with their goggles, gloves, and handballs, the group disperses onto three separate courts and begins to play. The group games are not only for fun and healthy exercise, but several of the groups’ members are training for the competition season that is well under way. “Handball is a very demanding sport because it requires quickness, stamina, strength, and the ability to hit the ball with both hands,” local handball participant Walt Kastner said. “It has been really exciting here at the YMCA lately because we have added several new players and they are very enthusiastic about the game.” Handball is defined in the Official USHA Rulebook published by the United States Handball Association (2012) as “a competitive game in which either hand or either fist may be used to hit the ball.” Handball matches typically consist of two games to 21 points. Points are scored when the player or team that is serving wins a rally. A rally is won when a player or team hits the ball in such a manner that the opposing player or team is unable to return the ball to the front wall before it touches the floor after the first bounce. When each player or team (for doubles) has won a game, the match is decided by an 11-point
tiebreaker. Handball can be played on four-wall, threewall, or one-wall courts. The rules and way of play are similar to racquetball, but some players argue it’s more physical because it requires more movement. “You have to work a lot harder because with a racket you could reach a lot of things you couldn’t without,” local handball player Phil Hankins said. “You have to take a few extra steps to get there.” People of all ages can participate in handball and compete against each other. As you get older, you can’t continue to play sports like football, Hankins said, but in handball you can actually improve as you mature by using strategy to take on younger guys. Professional handball player Naty Alvarado Jr. echoes this comment. “The most common story is when a 70 year old man can beat a 16 year old,” he told the Headlight Herald. Alvarado tours on a professional handball circuit that travels through the United States, Canada, and Ireland. In single elimination tournaments, Alvarado competes for prize money ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 for a win. “It’s a very good paying hobby,” he said. Handball is also beneficial because it develops fitness, hand-eye coordination, builds self-esteem, and teaches sportsmanship and discipline. “You’re only as good as your weakness; you have to be able to hit the ball

Neah-Kah-Nie hosts Driftwood Classic Neah-Kah-Nie hosted their Driftwood Classic last Friday and Saturday, De. 28 and 29. Five schools attended the two day tournament including, Nestucca, Tillamook, Amity, and Jewell High School. On Friday, the teams had their first games with the winners playing each other on Saturday to compete for the tournament title. Defeated teams also played each other for third and fourth place on Saturday. FRIDAY GIRLS Neah-Kah-Nie: 28 Jewell: 23 Friday morning the NKN girls took on the Jewell Blue Jays. It took the Pirates awhile to get going, scoring only four points in the first quarter. But in the second quarter, the Pirates only allowed the Blue Jays to score four points, while they earned nine. At the half the girls trail by one, 13-14. In the second half, the girls improved a little, but were still not making it easy on themselves. “Better than the first [half],” NKN Head Coach Corey Douma said, “still sluggish, we went back to some old ways and we’re not using the backboard. When we use the backboard we score a lot more points.” The girls were able to pull of a small margin win, 28-23, and improved their season record to 4-3 overall. Brittany Scull led the team with eleven points. The girls’ team advanced to the winners bracket to play Tillamook. Neah-Kah-Nie scoring: Brittany Scull 11, Taylor Winder 6, Alaina Holm 4, Dana Moore 1, Tasha Mabe DeRoest 1 Tillamook: 46 Nestucca: 17 Also Friday morning, the Cheesemakers faced the Bobcats for their first game of the tournament. The Cheesemakers won 46-17 for their first win of the season. Their win came after their Dec. 23 loss to Marshfield. “We should have won against Marshfield too, we just didn’t utilize our post,” Tillamook Head Coach Danielle Weber said. “We did a little better with that in the second half.” With their win, Tillamook advanced to the winners circle to play Neah-KahNie. “We’ve seen Neah-Kah-Nie play, so we know what we need to do,” Weber
Wrestling Continued from Page A8 of the season. “I was put in a group of six my first round,” Tharp said about one of the matches she competed in. “We were wrestling all Banks [High School] kids and I just did what I could, as far as I could. I’d get tired and I’d just push myself more so that I can succeed and get better. I didn’t win any of my matches, but there’s always room to improve.” Tharp and Deutsch are a few of the nations girls choosing to participate in wrestling programs, but even with small participation numbers, some states such as Washington and California, have seen such growth and interest that girls’ wrestling’ has become a sport of its own. But, Oregon is not one of them. Unlike their neighboring states, Oregon still does not offer a girls wrestling state championship. In order for the OSAA to sanction a separate championship tournament for girls, 75 percent of the quantity of 6A classification
said. Nestucca shot from behind the arc most of the game, not daring to challenge the Mook’s defense, and were able to make a few threes to. The loss for the Bobcats leaves them 1-6 overall. Jamie Kottre had 20 points for the Cheesemakers and Jillian Wilkinson and Monica Chatelain had 5 points for the Bobcats. Tillamook: 8 9 16 13 Nestucca: 4 5 8 0
Neah-Kah-Nie: 18 22 16 11 Jewell: 12 21 16 15
Tillamook scoring: Jamie Kottre 20, Jordan Zweifel 8, Kaylin Hammond 7, Taylor Browning 6, Markita Martin 5. Nestucca scoring: Jillian Wilkinson 5, Monica Chatelain 5, Sunny McCall 3, Jackie Wilkinson 2. BOYS Neah-Kah-Nie: 67 Jewell: 64 The Neah-Kah-Nie boys squeaked by with another close win against the Blue Jays Friday morning. The Pirates surpassed Jewell in shooting ability, but they had a few errors with ball handling
schools need to sponsor the sport according to the OSAA 2013-14 Handbook. Currently, the numbers in Oregon are nowhere close to the mark. “Under our current rules if the girls want to participate, they have to participate on the boys’ team and they’re treated just like any other wrestler,” Garrett told the Headlight Herald. “But, there has been a movement in Oregon over the past five or six years to provide (outside the OSAA structure) more opportunities for girls to wrestle girls.” On of these ways is an end of the season girls’ only qualifier tournament. In place of an official girls’ state tournament, this non-OSAA sponsored event is only in its second year and allows girls from around the state to compete against each other. The top two competitors from each division at the tournament are invited to wrestle for first and second place at an ‘expo’ during the boys’ wrestling state tournament. However, girls choosing to participate in the girls’ wrestling expo are ineligible to compete in the regular district and state championships with the boys.
that aided the Blue Jays’ score. Traveion Morris was once again the go-to shooter for behind the arc, making three in the second quarter. Morris was the leading scorer, earning 34 points for the Pirates. The boys finished with a 67-64 win, bringing them 3-4 overall. They advanced to play Amity High School Saturday morning.
Neah-Kah-Nie scoring: Traveion Morris 34, Colin Purcell 9, Nathan Imholt 8, Max Halverson 6, Nick Smith 5, Garit Champ 4. Nestucca: 37 Amity: 64 Going up against a larger school with a much more polished team, the Nestucca Bobcats could not keep up with the Amity Warriors. Unable to even get on the board in the first quarter, the Bobcats finally managed to score ten points in the second. The Bobcats lost 37-64. Brett Elder
“It’s been semi-successful,” Garrett said of the girls’ wrestling expo. “We’re going to continue to do it, but we have not seen that real outcry for more member schools to sponsor the sport.” Local Neah-Kah-Nie wres-

Nestucca: 0 10 13 14 Amity: 18 16 14 16 Nestucca scoring: Brett Elder 19, Austin McKillip 7, Keenan Wenrick 6, Guillermo Pimienta 3, Max Kirkendall 2. SATURDAY The Tillamook girls were the only local team to see a victory on Saturday morning at the Neah-Kah-Nie Driftwood Classic. The Cheesemakers pulled off a close win against the Pirates 28-25 and took home the tournament title. The
tler Rebecca Savage competed at last year’s girls’ qualifier tournament and won the championship title in the 120-pound class. “Some coaches would argue, if the OSAA would
Nestucca girls’ team lost in the loser’s bracket 12-29 against Jewell. On the boys’ side, Amity won the championships game, beating NeahKah-Nie 59-23. The Nestucca boys also lost, just barely, to Jewell 50-51. GIRLS Tilamook: 28 Neah-Kah-Nie: 25 Nestucca: 12 Jewell: 29 BOYS: Neah-Kah-Nie: 23 Amity: 59 Nestucca: 50 Jewell: 51
sponsor a championship that would encourage more girls to participate,” Garret said. This argument comes from watching states like Washington first implement girls’ wrestling state championships and then watching their numbers exponentially grow. Therefore the lack of a girls’ state tournament in Oregon may be driving possible participants away from the sport. But, the current structure of the OSAA cannot offer a different alternative. “They’re a long way from being sanctioned as a championship sport, it just doesn’t have the participation numbers,” Garrett said. While the OSAA is slow to sanction girl’s wrestling in the state, Oregon has two of the nation’s collegiate women’s wrestling programs at Pacific University in Forest Grove and Southwestern Community College in Coos Bay. Josh White, the head women’s wrestling coach at Southwestern, has 15 women on his wrestling roster and their school’s program, along with three individuals, won the national title in 2012. However, only four of the women on his team are from Oregon.
The rest hail from states such as California, Washington, and Hawaii where girls’ wrestling is recognized as a sport. “I do think that the low numbers of female wrestlers is directly [effected] because [the] OSAA has not sanctioned female high school wrestling as a varsity sport,” White told the Headlight Herald. “I believe if the OSAA changed their bylaws and recognized female wrestling as a varsity sport then we could very easily see our numbers grow tenfold in Oregon.” But White doesn’t want to downplay the quality of female wrestlers that are produced in the state. “Don’t get me wrong, Oregon produces some tough female wrestlers.” While the OSAA waits for the state’s numbers to increase, the girls will continue to compete right alongside the boys in the meantime, seeing the opportunities for growth much clearer than any inequality they may face. “I think its good. During the season when you wrestle the guys all the time, it makes you better. I look forward to girls’ state because against girls I’m strong.”

Handball Continued from Page A8 with both hands,” Kastner said. Handball players also enjoy the communal aspect of the sports. “As opposed to going to the exercise room and sitting on the bike, there’s some social interaction,” Kastner said. “I found that going to a tournament is almost like a family reunion. Wherever you go, there are handball families.” In his 1971 book entitled, “Handball,” Pete Tyson notes that handball may actually be the oldest game played with a ball. There are records of handball being played in Ireland in the eleventh century and eventually Irish immigrants brought handball to the United States in the 1840’s. The United States Handball Association and the World Players of Handball are actively promoting handball across the country and have recently started webcasting handball tournaments. Collegiate-level handball teams are also becoming more popular, even close to home. Pacific University’s handball club in Forest Grove, Ore. has produced national regional, and state champions. At a competition, handball participants are divided into divisions based on skill level, starting at novice, class C, class B, class A, and the top division: open class. Once a competitor wins a tournament in a division, they are promoted to the next highest division. However, after the age of 40 (or 35 for national tournaments) divisions are based on age in ten-year increments. Recently a few of Tillamook’s local handball players have seen success. Tillamook’s Jerry Bristow finished second in the Diamond Master’s (70+) singles division at the 30th Annual Robert O. Smith Memorial Handball Tournament on Dec. 6-8. Bristow has been playing for 53 years and along with his handball success, Bristow is also a member of the Eastern Oregon Athletic Hall of Fame and the NAIA Intercollegiate Athletics Division II Hall of Fame for football and baseball. Kastner also placed well at the 47th Annual Lilac Money Shoot Out Handball Tournament on Nov. 8-10. He and his doubles partner, Mike Robles of Spokane, finished second in the doubles division. Kastner was first introduced to handball through a class at Washington State University. At the time, he was playing varsity tennis for the Cougars, but developed a real passion for handball, he said. “I have been playing handball now for more than 40 years... It was a great workout and very challenging. I would often try to get in some handball after tennis practice. I’ve had many great experiences and have met a lot of great people through handball over the years.” This is just a small sample of this groups’ success. Over the years, several local handball players have competed in local, state, regional, and national tournaments, and several are planning to compete again this year. The Oregon Doubles State Tournament is scheduled for Feb. 7-9 in Corvallis, Ore. and the Oregon Singles State Tournament is scheduled for March 14-16 in Salem, Ore. To prepare for the tournaments, the local players practice at the YMCA’s four courts which are indoor and ventilated. But, that wasn’t always the case. The current court facility was constructed in 1980 and was the vision of the late Frank McCoy. Prior to that time, the opportunity to participate in court sports in Tillamook was limited at best. There was one, non-regulation court built of plywood on a stage in the former YMCA, which was located at the site now occupied by Tillamook’s Safeway store. Former long-time Tillamook resident, Vern Holstad was a member of the handball community alongside McCoy. “Somebody showed Frank McCoy those old courts and he went in and played a bit. [He] bruised his hands because he was so good at it because he use to play handball in the San Francisco Bay area in the 30’s and 40’s,” Holstad said. “I played a lot with him; he used a racket and I used my hands because he didn’t want
to bruise his hands again.” Over the years, handball saved Holstad from heart disease and even took him on a multi-state adventure. In 1974, Holstad strapped his handball gear to his back and began a trip. “I hadn’t had a real vacation since finishing college...My brother lived in Reno and I wanted to go down and visit him and on the way I wanted to play some handball.” He hitchhiked his way from Tillamook, stopping to play handball in Klamath Falls, San Francisco, and Reno. As an avid handball enthusiast, when McCoy decided to invest in courts, Holstad took nearly half a year off work to help with the construction. “I wanted them to happen,” Holstad said. “We wanted one regulation size because of the shots you can take and to be
more successful. We wanted the community to have handball courts.” Bristow also donated countless hours and organized a fund-raising effort that yielded nearly $11,000 for the
project. In addition, Margaret McCoy donated over $11,000 for the purchase of an airhandling system for the court complex. Under the leadership of McCoy, the current four-
Wednesday, January 1, 2014
court facility was constructed through a combination of private funds (mostly from the McCoy family) and thousands of hours of volunteer labor. According to Jim Daughn, the Tillamook County Fam-
ily YMCA Executive Director at the time, McCoy was “profoundly driven” to see the completion of these courts and insured that the country’s highest quality materials were used. The court facility opened on February 4, 1981. A plaque was created to pay tribute to all of the volunteer efforts associated with this project with the following words: “To those volunteers whose 4,000 hours of time and love made this YMCA court facility a reality.” Since construction of the courts, there have been a number of tournaments held in the facility, including six Frank McCoy Memorial Handball Tournaments, which attracted some of the state’s top players. Walt Kastner also contributed to this article.

Polar Plunge celebrates 10 years New Year’s Day By Dave Fisher The Headlight Herald “Every year it gets bigger and this year we are hoping to build a bigger fire pit to accommodate the folks,” said Janice Gaines, founder of the Manzanita Polar Plunge that took place on New Year’s Day. This year, the event, slated January 1, at 11 a.m. on the beach at Manzanita (Neahkahnie), will celebrate its 10th year. On New Year’s Day in 2005, eight people participated in the inaugural event. Last year, one estimate had the number of “plungers” at 300 with that many more on the sidelines watching the spectacle. As the Polar Plunge continues to grow the economic impact it has on this small coastal community is hard to gauge. New Year’s Day attracts a lot of second homeowners and visitors to the area anyway. On thing for sure, business owners are not complaining. “All the merchants are really supportive for this event as it brings folks down just for the day now,” said Gaines. If it’s a matter of driving down for the day, it might mean a family having a bite to eat at a local eatery, stopping at the grocery store and checking out the shops that line Laneda Ave. Innkeepers have reported people intent on participating in the Polar Plunge reserving

This year, the event gets underway at 11 a.m., but Gaines suggests getting to the beach at Neahkahnie a few minutes early, 10:30 at the earliest. Why Neahkahnie Beach? “Because that is where it originated and it is in walking distance to my house,” said Gaines. The parking area is just around the corner from the intersection of Beulah Reed and Nehalem roads.

forward to in Garibaldi in 2014? A new Commercial Avenue wharf at the Port, and a new, first-ever boat wash; both those are under construction (and as this is written, the boat wash is almost finished). A new (if slightly smaller) community room upstairs in city hall, perhaps, along with a new, slightly larger, city council chambers and handicapped-accessible bathrooms. (That’s if city manager John O’Leary can find the grant money.) A water line, finally, to supply water to Barview and Watseco – we started talking about that 12 years ago, when I was Garibaldi’s city administrator – with part of the Tillamookto-Banks trail built on top of it to get the bicyclists off that narrow and dangerous section of Highway 101 and maybe save a few more lives. And – just maybe – money from somewhere to repair the south jetty before something disastrous happens. Now that the north jetty’s been repaired, the beachfront south of Barview is eroding again, just like it did when the north jetty was originally built (without a south jetty) back last century. The Corps of Engineers said back then that if a south jetty weren’t built at the same time, that erosion would happen; however, construction didn’t start on the south jetty until after an entire town – Bayocean – had fallen into the sea. Bayocean Spit got breached, too. Now, with the north jetty repaired and the south jetty not, it appears to be happening again.

ope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our plans got changed at the very last minute. Our dear daughter-in-law Jackie became very ill, ran an extremely high temperature. She started feeling ill on Sunday before Christmas but still wanted David and me to come for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. She just got worse and by Tuesday, Steve called first thing in the morning to cancel the plans. Jackie had prepared a lot of the food ahead of time and decided it could all go into the freezer and maybe we could get together on New Years. So that is the next plan in progress. We had also been invited to grandson Eric and his wife Brooke for Christmas Eve. So I went along with Mark and Elaine and had a wonderful time in Eric and Brooke’s new house . There was lots of good food to eat and we exchanged Christmas gifts.

lamook County Sherriff’s Department on Long Prairie Road has a drop off box available for free medication disposal during regular business hours year round. I hope that you’re enjoying your holidays. I traveled with my little Chihuahua Maggie to Portland before Christmas for visits with both of my brothers and both sons, then east through the Columbia Gorge to Boardman for Christmas with my dear Mom and Dave. Maggie loved chasing their pet rabbit, Fluffy, around and around the living room. It was my new Honda Bella’s maiden voyage east of the coast range. We traveled with confidence thanks to new snow tires from Tillamook Tire and built in front wheel drive. This past weekend, daughter Elise with her husband Adam and my grandson Logan from Prineville were houseguests for a lat Christmas weekend. Happy birthday this week to: Sean Bennett, Michael Corey, Naudia Eckhardt, James Elliott, Taylor Geil, Francine Hagerty, April Huff, John Hurliman, Patrick Irving, Annis Leslie, Elijah Love, Bonita O’Brien, Cecil Nims, Lee Saddler, Allison Sanders, Frank Spinar, Cheryl Trent and Shannon Williams.
The New Year’s Eve party at the Cape Meares Community Center is for Cape Meares people and their guests. There will be an auction and those are always fun. Please bring food to share. Last week I wrote about the McCready display in Dilly and the houses decorated inside and out with lights in Forest Grove. Not to sell Tillamook short - I found the lights displays at the courthouse, city hall and the Pioeer Museum very pretty- very nicely done. Then, if you haven’t seen the lights at the end of Douglas Street, they are just beautiful. What a lot of work these people all do for the enjoyment of people like me to see them. In Cape Meares several houses had outdoor lights on their houses and yards. For several years now we’ve enjoyed seeing the Klobas “house of red lights.” It is a sight you can see all over the neighborhood as the house is high up on the hill on Second Street. Jack and Sue Drafahl always have lots of lights on their outside stairway and deck. We’v e enjoyed seeing all the lights at the Cape Meaeres Community Center. The lighted Candy Cane Lane and outdoor lights at the building were so festive to have for the Christmas parties there. I was thinking that not so
many people sent out cards and letters this year, but this last week before Christmas I heard from all the people I usually hear from this time of year. Nea-Rock Garden Club has it’s “after Christmas party” Jan. 8 at Betty an Richard Rolstons house. Meet at PUD at 11 a.m. Carpool from the parking lot around 11:15 to 11: 30 a.m. Potluck is at noon. Bring some good food to share and a gift to exchange. Gift no more than $8. Or you can bring a recycled gift. Jon and Merrie Ziady emailed me about the monthly get together with Pete and Ellen Steen. “For a couple years now, the Steens and the Ziadys of Third Street, Cape Meares, have met monthly (except for summertime) for a hearty lunch followed by two hotly contested games of Scrabble fueled by chocolate and assorted sweets. Not always, but often enough, Ellen and Merrie tend to get the best of their spouses, so it was a huge surprise at the final gathering of 2013, to find Pete the winner of not just one, but both games! The smile on his face could have lit up the whole village of Cape Meares! Both couples look forward to continuing their rousing fun and games in 2014”

If you remember I menAl-tioned his resignation a couple pinar,of weeks ago. This excerpt from nnonthe “Grapevine” by John Sollman pretty much sums up what happened and how he will be missed. “David Pace has resigned as Public Works Superintendent effective December 3. I first learned of some discord cardsbetween the council and David t thisat the city council workshop held tmasNov. 11.

NOTES FROM THE COAST place in private, and are not a matter for public discussion. Though David remained on the job until his resignation date, that time was not sufficient for him to complete most of the projects with which he was involved. He was in the middle of the river undercrossing project, having completed two, with one left to go. This was a FEMA-funded project to remove waterlines from three bridges and put them under the rivers. The Wilson River crossing was to provide alternate sources of water for the creamery should the Bay City water system fail, and for Tillamook hospital should the Tillamook water system fail. “He was also in the middle of a project to place the electrical controls for the well pumps into a separate building, to prevent damage should a pump malfunction and spray water in the pump room. He was also involved in redesigning the electrical system to support a third pump when the new well is finally drilled. “I am truly sorry to see David leave. I thought highly of him. He was highly competent, polite, cooperative and knowledgeable. He worked well with others. He also had a head for detail, a very helpful asset when dealing with FEMA or federal grant accounting. My very best wishes to you, David, should you happen to read these lines. And I am happy to serve as a reference for you, should you need one. Take care.” David accepted a job at the Fairview Water District and when I talked to him last he felt it was a good move for him. Good luck Dave! I hope all of you have a happy and safe New Year, see you around town.

In addition to Tillamook Bay Community College, the other new Tech Trek pilot sites are New Mexico State University and University of Alabama. The returning camps from 2013 are Bowling Green State University, Eckerd College (St. Petersburg, Fla.), Pacific Lutheran University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. This is a wonderful honor for AAUW Oregon and the Tillamook AAUW Branch. Since 1998, serving more than 9,000 girls, this empowering camp has opened up a world in which girls become scientists, engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists. The plan is to involve female science and math teachers in Tillamook County, businesses, volunteers, AAUW members, college faculties and OSU Extension to help with this opportunity for these girls.

Shame, embarrassment & guilt - counselors
A
New Year’s resolution is a promise you make to yourself in late December you won’t keep so you can hate yourself during the coming year. Like everything else, resolutions have a religious origin. The ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts, a practice, by the way I would like to recommend to some people I know. In the Medieval era, the knights took the “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry and plumage. Knights have always been vain, which explains the love of big hats by their descendants, cowboys. Resolutions are kept with the aid of your village, your support group, and shame, embarrassment and guilt, which is not a group of dour counselors. Even though Christians are pretty good in the guilt department and have Lent to take all the fun out of life, the Jews got there first with a double wham-

my of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to reflect upon one’s wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer enough forgiveness to make Catholics green with envy. At the end of the Great Depression, about 25 percent of Americans adults made New Year’s resolutions. At the start of the 21st century, about 40 percent made them, which might be a big improvement except the 8 percent that actually keep them has stayed the same. One example of a resolution is to donate to the poor more often, but after the last five years, uh, that would be you. I’m supposed to become more environmentally responsible, but I have no clue how separating green wine bottles from brown is going to
save the planet. I looked at a list of resolutions my wife recommended. They are eat healthy, lose weight, exercise more, drink less, quit smoking, get out of debt, be less grumpy, get organized, learn a foreign language, make new friends and laugh more. I told her if I did all those I would laugh less. She told me it was a list of suggestions. I wasn’t supposed to do them all. New Year’s resolutions have changed. At the end of the 19th century, a typical teenage girl focused on good works. Today she wants better hair. When you think about it, when you make a resolution you are attempting no less than to change who you are. That’s a pretty big order. You got to be the way you are because you like it. A cold beer, lasagna, and pecan pie taste better than rice cakes or styrofoam. You need to enlist your village and shame, embarrassment and guilt. It’s the most effective motivation for personal change ever discovered. You need your village, which are your relatives, friends, enemies (enemies
are particularly effective), coworkers, church, AA, and any other support group you can think of. Tell them what you want to accomplish, weight loss, stop drinking, stop biting your nails, whatever, and get a partner who wants the same goal. Weight Watchers has built a huge moneymaking business out of shame, embarrassment and guilt. If you doubt this, attend a weigh-in. Tell everyone you know what your goal is. Take out an ad in the paper. Talk to your partner daily. Call and say, I’m thinking about biting my nails. Have a piece of pie instead, your partner will tell you. Better yet, come over and we’ll both have a piece of pie together because I was thinking of biting my nails, too. Later when you’ve stopped biting your nails, you can join Weight Watchers. Gullible, my wife said, add that to your list of suggestions for your resolutions. Stop believing everything anyone tells you. I’ll have you know I’m not gullible, I said. I looked up gullible in the dictionary like you told me to do, and it did not have my picture.
Christmas morning isn’t just for humans About 30 individuals and families came out to the Tillamook Animal Shelter Christmas morning to spread some holiday cheer to the four-legged friends. The dogs, 15 in total, got to socialize with adults and kids alike and run around. “I didn’t think many people would show up, but it was really amazing,” said Maria Nagy with the shelter. “We saw some amazing things; dogs that at one point didn’t like kids were up on the hill running around with teenage boys.” The idea came from volunteer Rebekah Hopkins, who organized the whole thing. And the spirit of giving wasn’t lost on those who
