Fair Board getting a facelift Three original members and four new ones will oversee duties of the fairgrounds By Sayde Moser
smoser@countrymedia.net
The board of directors that oversees the Tillamook County Fair has been reorganized by the county commissioners. Of the board’s original five members, three will remain on what is now a seven-member board. Officially appointed Nov. 17 were original board members Rita Hogan, Don Averill and Jack DeSwart. They’ll be joined by new directors Camy VonSeggem, Kelley Downing, Robert Larson and Joanna Stelzig. Fair board president Hogan thanked past members Doug Doyle and Nick Steiner. “We really appreciate their hard work and commitment, and we’re going to miss them,” said Hogan. Steiner, who had served six years on the board, reapplied for a position but told commissioners in his interview that he wouldn’t continue to serve with the three original members who were renamed to the board. “I enjoyed what I accomplished with the fair,” he said. “I believe I performed ethically but it was too much of an uphill battle to continue.” “We interviewed something like 20 candidates,”

LONGEST-RUNNING BUSINESS IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY • SINCE 1888
Community rallies around injured surfer By Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
Andre Lorincz had traveled north to Seaside on Nov. 9 for just another day of catching waves. Instead, a rogue wave knocked him unconscious, slamming him against the rocks. Lorincz, a Spanish language teacher at NeahKah-Nie High School in Rockaway Beach, was rescued by a helicopter crew from Air Station Astoria and airlifted by Life Flight to Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland. There, it was determined he had a broken scapula, two
broken ribs, three broken vertebrae, a collapsed lung, water in his lungs, a concussion and hypothermia. “The efforts of our aircrew, combined with the efforts of Seaside Fire and Rescue and Life Flight crew members, enabled the victim to receive the medical treatment he needed at OHSU,” said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. David McCown, the Jayhawk aircraft commander. Lorincz recently underwent surgery to fuse his spine. That procedure was considered successful and free of complications. He’s expected to make a full recovery within six months.

Those interested in making meals can sign up on the website. All of the meals can be delivered to Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita. Mark Lorincz hopes to partner with the local surfing community soon to create other fundraising opportunities to help shoulder the medical costs for his brother.

Barview discusses water solution with Garibaldi By Joe Wrabek

Netarts Bay is home to 21 oyster plats issued by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. It’s also a favorite spot for clamming enthusiasts. But when it comes to monitoring the health of the estuary, that duty falls to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife – which currently doesn’t regulate the number of oyster plats or their impact on the bay.
Local couple is concerned about the estuary and whether its oysters are being over-farmed By Sayde Moser
smoser@countrymedia.net
John and Jan Stahl sit at the kitchen table in their home off Whiskey Creek Road. The couple built the house in central Tillamook County more than 30 years ago. Its windows offer nearly unobstructed views of a serene Netarts Bay. The two have been watching the bay for three decades. Now, they’re concerned about the estuary’s future. John Stahl flips through binders he keeps close at hand that detail the different oyster plats active on Netarts Bay. Currently, there are 21. Stahl is worried that no one is determining precisely how many plats is too many. In the 1980s, Stahl actually applied for a plat, and was denied. Back then, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife told him they were saving the estuary for the black brant, a species of smaller goose that often breeds in Alaska and migrates along the Pacific
Coast, including Netarts Bay, in the wintertime. Since then, the Oregon Department of Agriculture has assumed responsibility for issuing oyster plats after the state Legislature deemed oyster harvesting an agricultural issue, not a wildlife one. In that time, said an alarmed Stahl, the number of plats on the bay has increased exponentially. For one thing, he said, the leased plats act as private land and thus restrict the general public from enjoying them. “Is that what we should be doing with public land?” he wonders. “These oyster plats make portions of the bay virtually inaccessible to people.” And access to the bay is important, said Stahl, especially for those who enjoy clamming. “Thirty years ago, you could just pull your car off along the side of Whiskey Creek Road and walk out

The board of directors of the small Watseco-Barview Water District plan to discuss a draft agreement Nov. 21 with the City of Garibaldi for constructing an “intertie” to supply Garibaldi drinking water to Watseco-Barview’s 200plus customers. The water district’s meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the office of the Twin Rocks Sanitary District in Barview. The intertie is required by a “bilateral compliance agreement” that WatsecoBarview signed with the Oregon Health Authority in July. In that agreement, the district acknowledged repeated failures of tests for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in its water supply, and the district committed to reducing TTHMs by getting its drinking water from the City of Garibaldi instead of the district’s own well. The Oregon Health Authority, which licenses water systems and their operators, requires quarterly tests for TTHMs in every public water system. Watseco-Barview had “elevated levels” of TTHMs in tests conducted in June and July of this year. Before that, TTHMs had been below the state’s “maximum contaminant level” in February 2013, but

Rare seabird threatens timber sales in local forest By Sayde Moser
smoser@countrymedia.net
The marbled murrelet is a multi-colored seabird the size of a robin. It spends 70 percent of its time near the ocean, yet is known to fly up to 50 miles inland to lay a single egg each year – in old-growth forests. The bird has single handedly shut down more than 90 percent of the Elliot State Forest in Coos and Douglas counties, halting more than $17.5 million in timber sales. Why? Because Cascadia Wildlands, a grassroots conservation organization, suggested the Elliot timber sales were violating the nation’s Endangered Species Act, which has protected the marbled murrelet since 1992.
(The marbled murrelet is listed as “threatened,” which means it’s not endangered just yet but is expected to be within several years.) “The murrelet is dependent on being close to the ocean,” said Brett Ferris, executive director of Cascadia Wildlands. When it nests, the bird, whose population has been dwindling for years, requires older, mature trees with large branches, preferably covered with moss. When the state began harvesting an older portion of the forest where the marbled murrelets were known to nest, Cascadia Wildlands blew the whistle. “We were OK with their previous cutting regimen,” said Ferris. “We were particu-

as thinning out some trees so others can grow bigger and
stronger. But then “the state took another tactic,” Ferris said. The federal courts agreed with Cascadia Wildlands that the planned harvest of 40 million board feet in the Elliot Forest would take too many marbled murrelet. (“Take” is defined as actions that kill, harm or injure protected species.) On the heels of that court decision, the Oregon Department of State Lands halted 26 timber sales in the Elliot Forest and two in the Tillamook State Forest. “Had they continued to harvest in a sustainable manner, they would have been allowed to do it for a lot longer,” Ferris

were elevated in all four of the tests conducted in 2012. According to a compliance agreement signed by WatsecoBarview and the Oregon Health Authority on July 13, the water district has had average TTHMs above the maximum contaminant level since 2008. Maximum contaminant levels are set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and enforced by the Oregon Health Authority. Part of the difficulty in passing the water tests have stemmed from a change in regulatory standards. The federal EPA’s maximum contaminant level for TTHMs – 1/10 of one part per million – previously applied only to water systems serving 10,000 or more people. In 2004, that standard was lowered – to 8/100 of one part per million – and applied to all water systems, regardless of size. It’s an ambitious standard, said Garibaldi City Manager John O’Leary. “If anything, the water’s cleaner now than it was 10 years ago,” added O’Leary. He said the WatsecoBarview district has done an excellent job of improving the quality of its water, “but the Oregon Health Authority is taking a stern approach.”

Kayakers enjoy the Tillamook Bay water trail, thanks in part to free guidebooks that have been printed by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Federal funding has allowed the partnership to print and distribute the guidebooks at virtually no cost. That funding now is in doubt. to be its own standalone funding mechanism for another year, Cole said. So any projects that received funds before Oct. 1, 2013, still will get that money, which will come through the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. After that, ODOT steps in. To date, four of the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s trail projects have been funded with Recreational Trails money. That includes three of the partnership’s four water trail guidebooks plus the Hoquarten Slough Interpretive Trail. “They probably wouldn’t have moved forward without these funds,” said Claudine Rehn, the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s accounting manager. Without the program’s grants, which helped pay the guidebooks’ printing costs (close to $40,000), the partnership might have to charge consumers for its fourth trail guide. Sue Abbot of the National Parks Service was surprised to hear that ODOT soon will be allocating the Recreational Trails funds. (The Tillamook County Water Trail is designated as a national recreational trail, identifying it as a premier recreational experience in the area.) “This is a sad move for Oregon,” said Abbot. “People continually say they want more trails, especially those who don’t live in rural areas

Trihalomethanes are a disinfection byproduct, Garibaldi public works director Blake Lettenmaier told the Headlight Herald. “They’re the result of chlorine in contact with organics.” An elevated level of TTHM is considered a cancer risk, he said. Trihalomethanes often are found in surface water, which tends to contain organic material (Rockaway Beach, which gets its water from Jetty Creek, has had to contend with high TTHM levels in recent months). On the other hand, Watseco-Barview’s drinking water comes from a well – 75 feet deep. “It’s a challenging water source,” O’Leary said. “You wouldn’t have a high level of disinfection byproducts if the water source was clean.” The high TTHM levels are the result of a “complicated treatment process,” he said. “This stuff has been in the water for a long time. It’s not new.” People have been drinking it for years, said O’Leary. “The water’s not incredibly bad. It’s just not very good. And it’s not as good as the state says it has to be.” Yet Barview resident Rowland Barkholtz argues there’s nothing wrong with
and don’t have access to open space to walk on.” Still, said Abbot, “Because [funding for the Recreational Trails Program] comes from people who are buying gas, it usually comes from motorized equipment of some kind. And is it fair to use that tax money on non-motorized trails?”

the quality of Barview’s water, nor has there been for years. He writes in a letter to the editor (see page 4) that, “None of the neighbors in our cul-de-sac in Terwilliger View Estates have water problems with the exception of when the water district blows out the lines several times a year, and then it quickly clears up.” Barkholtz adds he’s aware that the water occasionally runs afoul of the minimum requirements for trihalomethanes, but that the water district sends out notifications when that happens. “The increase is so minimal, we are advised we do not even need to use an alternative water supply such as bottled water,” said Barkholtz. The agreement between the Watseco-Barview Water District and the Oregon Health Authority requires the district to submit construction plans for the intertie with the City of Garibaldi by May 31, 2014, and to have the intertie built by Dec. 31, 2014. No enforcement action has been taken because the district is working on connecting to the city for water, Health Authority records indicated.

The Kilchis Point Interpretive Trail, the Tillamook County Water Trails, the Oregon Coast Trail …. All are non-motorized recreational byways that received funds through the Recreational Trails Program. In fact, this year alone Tillamook County trails have received more than $200,000 in program funding. But recent changes in administering the Recreational Trails Program threaten those monies. The trails program’s funds are made available from gasoline tax revenues collected by the Federal Highway Administration. A portion of those taxes are allocated by the federal government to each state’s department of transportation – although in Oregon, the Recreational Trails monies have been administered by this state’s Parks and Recreation Department, not the Oregon Department of Transportation. When the Federal Highway Administration decided last year to consolidate more than 50 different funding streams into five, it left ODOT with an “opportunity,” said the state agency’s Terry Cole. “We decided to look at simplifying those federal funds on our end, as well and how they’re dished out.” Cole said state officials decided to pool all of what had been the recreational trails money into one pot called Transportation Alternative Programs – and likely begin using much of that money for Oregon’s roads and other projects not associated with trails. “By making one big pool [of dollars],” said Cole, “everyone is competing. We hope to be able to look at things based on the merit of transportation, rather than having $20 million of highway funds and $5 million of trail funds, and so on.” According to Cole, there still is room for non-motorized recreational trails to be funded, they’ll just be competing against a broader range of projects. “We all have to apply for this money,” said Cole, “ODOT included.” It will come down to how any given project compares with other eligible transportation activities, he said. “There might be more money on the table, but there’s also more projects to compete with.” That includes everything from sidewalks, intersection improvements and dog parks, to a plethora of other projects that enhance transportation. That said, the Recreational Trails Program will continue

Christmas production adds humor to the holidays By Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
Playgoers will enjoy a humorous addition to their holiday plans with “Inspecting Carol,” an unconventional Christmas play from the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts. The twist on an old classic opens Nov. 22 at The Barn playhouse in Tillamook, as cast members portray a failing play company’s attempt to stage a production of “A Christmas Carol.” Despite money woes and bickering cast members, play director Zora Bloch (played by Sandra Koops) hopes her cast’s performance can impress a visitor from the National Endowment of the Arts and result in a renewed art grant.
“I picked this play because we needed a show to do at Christmas time and it’s not your typical Christmas play,” said TAPA director Chris Chiola. “It’s modern, with some edgy humor, and I think people will enjoy not seeing the typical Christmas pageant.” Written by Daniel Sullivan, the play takes viewers backstage to see what’s necessary to put on a play with a nearly impossible cast. “This one is different,” said Chiola, “because everyone on stage is trying their hardest to get this production of ‘A Christmas Carol,’ but they’re failing. So it’s not a comedy to these people, [but] it’s a comedy to everyone sitting in the audience. That’s what makes it really funny.”
“I get to be pretty sarcastic,” said Ann Harper, who plays MJ, the stage manager. “Inspecting Carol” brings a handful of friendly faces back to the stage. Devin McDaniel, 12, returns to play Bart Frances. “I’m excited to show my family and friends, because this is the second time I’ve been in a TAPA play,” he said. Also returning is Al Johnson as Sidney Carlton. Johnson, who has been performing with TAPA since 1997, said this play will lift the audience’s spirits. “I’m a firm believer that comedy is a good stress reliever,” Johnson said. “I think the holidays are a down time for a lot of people, and that’s why I think it’s important to do something that’s uplifting and out of the
norm.” The cast also includes Robert Kratz, Croix Swanson, Sarah Edwards, Glen Rankin, Reggie Coon, Brett Duer, Richard Coon and Rebecca Dougherty. The supporting crew includes RJ Wynia, Dennis Greiner, Pablo Santos, Elizabeth Rankin, Sylvia Johnson and Tona Mortensen. “Inspecting Carol” runs Nov. 22, 23, 29, 30 and Dec. 1, 6, 7 and 8. The Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m.; Sunday matiness begin at 2 p.m. Doors open a half-hour before curtain. The Barn Community Playhouse is at 12th and Ivy.

Divine Burger to close By Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
The Divine Burger Bistro in downtown Tillamook’s 2nd Street Public Market will be closed no later than Dec. 31, said its proprietor. After two years of ownership, Cynthia Tuel has decided to try to sell the business. “The basic reason is, it can’t support my family,” said Tuel. “A year ago, the numbers were there. But right now, it’s operating at about 40 percent less than it was a year ago.” When Tuel bought Divine Burger from its original owners two years ago, “I wasn’t working and it seemed like a feasible
option for me to do.” She said that since then, a difficult economy and sparse downtown foot traffic has cost her business dearly. “The ideal situation would be for someone to purchase it as-is,” said Tuel, “because the counters are built-in and the equipment is designed to fit in this space. They don’t have to do burgers. They can do whatever they want.” Added Tuel, “If someone came in and was able to offer a different type of cuisine that Tillamook County does not already offer on a daily basis, that would be a strong point.” For more information, email divinebistro@hotmail.com.

Banta and Merrill were taken into custody for unlawful possession of heroin, unlawful possession of methamphetamine and frequenting a place where drugs are used, kept or sold. TNT detectives then obtained a search warrant for the motel room where undisclosed amounts of heroin and methamphetamine were found along with large quantities of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, packaging material and digital scales. “These subjects appeared to have been staying in the local motel room for the last few days and were in possession of a significant amount of marijuana as well as other illicit narcotics,” said Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long. “Information obtained during the investigation led to the search warrant and subsequent seizure of illegal narcotics as well as the apprehension of wanted fugitives and suspects involved in ongoing criminal activity.” Upon the execution of the search warrant additional criminal charges were applied to the suspects who had been taken into custody during the investigation.

Readers’ Open Forum Barview is a great place to live The recent article in the Headlight Herald about the water quality in Barview is inaccurate. My wife Ann and I have lived in Terwilliger View Estates in Barview for 10 years and have never had the poor quality of water displayed at the top of the story. Not even close! In fact, we shut off our filtration system after six months because we found it was not needed and haven’t used it since. I contacted Headlight Herald’s Editor Sayde Moser immediately after the story ran and asked her “Where did this photo come?” She believed it to be a file photo but was not sure. I called her the second week and still she did not know. On Nov. 11 I contacted her again. She felt it came from a report on Waseco-Bar View water quality about two years ago but could not state the photo was from any water facet in Barview. This leads me to believe the photo could have been taken from the Internet or anywhere else. If it is from Barview, then it should be so stated. If not, the public should be so notified. This is also important to those who wish to move to this fantastic location. None of the neighbors in our cul-de-sac in Terwilliger View Estates have water problem with the exception of when the water district
blows out the lines several times a year and then it quickly clears up. We do not question the fact the Barview water district does occasionally go over the minimum requirements for Trihalomethanes but it is minimal. In fact, the water district notifies us when it happens. The increase is so minimal, we are advised we do not even need to use an alternative water supply such as bottled water. We recommend the Headlight Herald do a better job of investigating this situation such as going to Barview and checking out the users of the water to see if the water is good for all the customers or if there are isolated problems on the water line.

Enough is enough How come the immigration debate only focuses on illegal immigration? A population of 317,000,000 people is quite enough for one country’s land base. Not only should we connect the border fences and blow up the tunnels down south, visitors to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services citizenship web page should be greeted with the following message: sorry, we’re full.

Thank You For Making 2013 An Epic Year In Tillamook County As the owners and operators of a small hotel serving Tillamook County, we would like to thank the more than two thirds of the voters who voted for the Transient Lodging Tax measure. It is reassuring to see that the overwhelming majority of the voters understand the value of economic diversification, and the sociological importance of creating jobs and opportunities that can and will improve the lives of all Tillamook County residents. We need multiple legs in our economic stool, and we need to continue to work to strengthen each of those legs, whether it involves commercial fishing, timber, farming, manufacturing, recreational

fishing or tourism in general. This measure will help stabilize and strengthen our economy by bringing in millions of new tourism dollars from outside our county that will cycle and recycle through our local economy. A growing tourism market, aside from growing jobs within the tourism industry, the retail sector, food service, recreation and entertainment, will also increase the demand for more plumbers, more electricians, more construction workers, etc. We would also like to thank our County Commissions for having the courage to step forward and provide leadership on this important issue. Each one of them expended considerable time and effort laboring over each word of the measure, and has committed to spend even more time overseeing how the measure is implemented and the tax dollars are spent. For many reasons, 2013 will be remembered as an epic year in Tillamook County. It has provided new energy, direction and hope for our local economy. None of this could have happened without the bold leadership of Commissioners Labhart, Josi and Baertlein, along with the leadership and focus of our Tillamook County Economic Development Council and local volunteers too numerous to mention. But the biggest “Thank

More public money wasted It was with a mix of sadness and “I told you so” when I read the Nov. 13 article by Amelia Templeton of OPB documenting the local battle in Newport over the potential Asian raw log export yard largely for the benefit of a few out-of-state land owners. I testified last year at the Oregon Transportation Commission hearing that using public funds to support building a log export yard was poor public policy for the state of Oregon. At the time, the Port of Newport officials assured the Commission that this public money would be used for many export products and would create many jobs. What a surprise, only the out-of-state landowners with a narrow self interest are now stepping up to sell their raw logs to China. And to add “insult to injury,” they need more public assistance for dredging so they can profit by selling logs to Asia while local sawmills are desperate for more logs. While I can’t speak to the environmental effects of additional dredging, why should we invest more of our tax money to help these people out? The forest products

Tillamook mayor calls Second Criminal Convictions Street ‘the city’s family room’ by Sayde Moser
smoser@countryedia.net
“If we don’t do something different, where are we going to be in 10 years?” Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber asked City Council members Nov. 19. “We’ll be right exactly where we are now.” Weber was talking with the council about a recommendation by the city’s public works committee to close Second Street between Main and Pacific avenues, thereby creating a “pedestrian plaza.” “I feel the area around the Courthouse and City Hall and the [Pioneer] museum is like our community’s living room,” said Weber. “That’s where we carry on all our city business. ìAnd I think we need a place in our community where we can gather that can be our family room.” It would be a location, she said, for summer activities, festivals and where the stores along Second Street could take
their business “into the streets.” “It could be a place to encourage people to come interact with each other in a positive way,” said the mayor. Yet for all of Weber’s enthusiasm, the City Council wasn’t completely sold on the idea. For example, “Has anyone contacted the schools?” asked Councilor Joe Martin. The school district’s buses drops off and pick up students on the corner of Main Avenue and Second Street. “I think it should not be closed, for that reason only,” said Martin. Councilor Matt Harris questioned the resulting loss of parking spaces in downtown Tillamook. “We would lose a ton of parking in an area that already has a lack of parking,” he said. But Councilor Doug Henson argued that there isn’t a parking issue downtown. “Three weeks ago was Halloween,” he said, “and we had over a thousand people on Second Street. And every one of them found a place to park. “Our downtown has been in a steady
decline for years,” added Henson. “It’s time we start thinking a little outside of the box, or we’re just going to keep losing more businesses.” Chris Kell, who manages downtown’s 2nd Street Public Market, agreed. “All of the problems with this can be mitigated,” she said. “If you give people a reason to come downtown, they will. ìWe do ‘Moonlight Madness’ downtown, where more than a thousand people come. They all find a place to park, and half the street is closed.” Fat Dog Pizza owner Ray Jacobs argued that when you’re handing out free candy – say, during a Halloween promotion – anyone will come. He suggested the city consider a trial closure of Second Street and if that doesn’t work, the street can be returned to its original traffic flow. The one suggestion that sparked consensus was the need for conceptual designs of the area. Those will be discussed during the City Council’s meeting Dec. 16.
Tillamook city councilor resigns Matt Harris has resigned from the Tillamook City Council, effective immediately. “It is with great sadness that I must offer my resignation,” Harris
told the council during its Nov. 18 meeting. Harris cited a scheduling conflict with his new job. Formerly a deputy with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Harris
was hired Oct. 26 by the Cornelius Police Department as its 13th officer. He was officially sworn in Nov. 6 during a Cornelius City Council meeting.
Schrader: Expect another federal shutdown Jeremy C. Ruark
jruark@countrymedia.net
Oregon Congressman Kurt Schrader is forecasting another “mini”-federal government shutdown in early in 2014 because Congress will be unable to seal a budget deal by the end of the year. “We’re probably not going to get a budget deal in December,” Schrader told audiences during town halls Nov. 10 in Newport and Pacific City. The U.S. government was shut down Oct. 1-16 after Congress failed to enact legislation appropriating funds for federal government operations. “I have to apologize to everybody,” Schrader said. “We have not done well by you in Congress this October. The biggest problem in D.C. is leadership failure. It’s very frustrating.” Several of those attending the two meetings questioned Schrader about the Affordable Health Care Act, referred to by some as “Obamacare,” which takes effect Jan. 1. “[The act] is not going to go away, despite what some people in Washington, D.C., would say or would like to happen,” said Schrader. “The

main thing is to try and make sure it works.” He said some people are expressing uncertainty about how the measure will work for them. “They are concerned that their old policies are canceled,” he said, “and they fear the new policies under the act will cost them more.” But Schrader added that most Oregon coast residents
will qualify for subsidies to help pay for their health care. He told the town hall audience in Newport that he himself had been unsure about the Affordable Care Act at first glance. “But the bottom-line, real-word reality is that everyone needs to pay their fair share and everyone should have access to health care,” said Schrader. “This act replaces a sys-

tem that was horrible. If we all share the risk, we can take care of one another without burdening everyone.” He urged those at the town halls to do their research about the new federal healthcare plan and to be patient. “Check with your insurance agent,” said Schrader. “It’s unwise to try to do it online. Get good advice. “There is also the problem of scamming going on, so be very careful about your personal information.” Meantime, those at the Pacific City town hall also expressed concerns about the federal flood insurance program. That program needed to be fixed, too, Schrader said – which prompted passage of the Biggert-Waters Act last year. “But a key component was affordability,” he said. “It never got done.” Schrader is co-sponsoring a bill that delays flood insurance premium increases for up to four years and requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency to conduct an affordability study. “We’re trying to get lots of co-sponsors,” he said. “It gets the committee chairman’s attention.” Joe Wrabek contributed to this story.

SCHRADER ON THE FARM BILL: After the Farm Bill failed to pass the U.S. House of Representatives, “Everyone started to become extremely partisan and decided they weren’t going to work together,” Schrader said. As a consequence, the “No Labels” group he’s part of in Congress now has over 80 members. “We’re as fed up as you are,” Schrader told those present at the Pacific City town hall meeting. Schrader expressed optimism that a Farm Bill might finally pass Congress this year. The big battle, of course, is over SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps). It’s 70 percent of the Farm Bill. The argument between the senate’s cuts to the program – $4 billion – and the house’s cuts– $40 billion – “has fractured Congress,” he said. But it’s not the only battle. “The milk issue will be contentious,” he added. The votes exist to pass the “Dairy Security Act,” which would replace price supports with a version of crop insurance, but “it’ll be a tough battle because the Speaker (Rep. John Boehner) doesn’t like it.”
On Oct. 23, Bethany Marie Roach was found in violation of probation for having contact with Jeremy Miller and failing to answer truthfully to inquiries made by the parole officer. Roach’s probation was revoked, and Roach was sentenced to jail for six months with a 12-month probation On Nov. 1, Martin Dee Jacobs, 57, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants, a class A misdemeanor, committed on or about Aug. 25, 2013. Jacobs’s driver’s license was suspended for one year. Jacobs was sentenced to jail for 48 hours and bench probation for 24 months, and ordered to pay assessed costs of $1,300. Jacobs also pleaded guilty to refusing to take a test for intoxicants, an unclassified violation, committed on or about Aug. 25, 2013. Jacobs’s driver’s license was suspended for 90 days and Jacobs was ordered to pay assessed costs of $650.

Traveling to Japan and back by Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
Hundreds of miles and an ocean away, Wesley Neary of Tillamook found a little piece of home in the form of Tillamookbrand cheese. It was “at the Costco in Japan,” said Neary, “so I had to take a picture of it.” A Tillamook County 4-H member, 17-year-old Neary spent eight weeks this past summer traveling Japan. During the first four weeks of his trip, he participated in an immersion language school, learning Japanese. He spent the next four weeks living with Japanese host families. The country “has a lot of stuff I found interesting,” said Neary. “I wanted to learn the [Japanese] language. Japan is incredibly reliant on importing, and maybe as a future job I could be an exporter.” Neaqry also visited Japanese castles, museums, even an egg farm. His experience was a product of the 4-H Global Citizenship Program, offered through the Oregon State University Extension Service in Tillamook. Since 1948, 4-H has been coordinating international exchange programs to expose young people and their families to different cultures, and to create a sense of appreciation and understanding of those who live in other countries. “It creates a global awareness of what other kids your age are doing,” said Neary’s mother, Colleen, who serves as the Oregon 4-H Global Citizenship Program assistant coordinator. The program offers both outbound (trips outside of the U.S.) and inbound (4-H youth hosted in the U.S.) summer visits. Oregon’s 4-H students can apply to be delegates to Australia, Costa Rica, Norway, Japan or Tanzania. Tillamook County families involved in 4-H have the opportunity to host students coming here from Japan, Argentina, Costa Rica and Norway. The program endeavors to pair outbound and inbound 4-H youth with families that have children of similar ages and interests.
said. “It’s only a matter of time before our state forest is faced with the same crisis,” said Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi. And not just the Tillamook State Forest, but neighboring woodlands in Clatsop County, too, said Josi. “It’s not before us yet,” he said. “Here, it’s just business as usual. But in four or five years, we could be faced with this same issue.” To date, two or three marbled murrelet sightings have been made in the Tillamook State Forest. Because the forest virtually burned down in the 1930s, few of the trees here are considered old enough to serve as nests for the marbled murrelets. Sightings are conducted by trained surveyors hired by the Oregon Department of Forestry when a timber sale is planned. Two years prior to the sale, the surveyors set up stations within a 50-acre radius to look for marbled murrelets. It’s a tricky procedure, said Ferris, because the murrelet is a species whose lifestyle is hard
On the exchange trips, students are expected to share a piece of their own culture. “When you go, you have to have a cultural project to show your host family,” said Colleen Neary. The project can be anything that reflects American culture, from cooking, to games, to dances. Wesley Neary opted to share examples of American cooking with his Japanese host family, teaching them how to make chocolate-chip cookies, fish tacos, hamburgers and pies. The Neary family has hosted several inbound students, most recently Felix Tremohlen of Germany, who spent two and half weeks in Tillamook. Young Tremohlen came to Tillamook specifically for the area’s agriculture. “Where Felix lives in Germany, he lives on a 250-acre turkey farm bumped up against a dairy farm,” said Wesley Neary. “The two farms went into together to buy a digester … so he was interested in ours [in Tillamook]. “It was very interesting to learn more about dairy farming and see the biodigesters since we own a biogas plant at home in Germany,” Tremöhlen said. “I
grew up on a farm in Western Germany in the Lower Rhine Area. We fatten about 70,000 turkeys per year and also grow crops (wheat, corn, sugar beets, canola, peas). In cooperation with a neighboring farm we own and operate a biogas plant.” Tremöhlen echoes the Nearys’ outlook on the benefits of traveling abroad. “Traveling to another country and seeing different places and meeting different people is a very important experience for me because it really helped me to gain a better perspective on a lot of things and see things not only from one viewpoint, but understand why other people think differently.” On Nov. 19, Neary will give a presentation about his trip to Japan at the Tillamook County Library, from 7 to 8 p.m. At the same time, 4-H member Marissa O’Neil will be proposing her plan to travel to Australia next summer through the Global Citizenship Program and seeking supporters. The presentations are open to the public. For more information, email Colleen Neary at chri_co_7@yahoo.com or call 503-965-6288.

to pin down. The birds exist in the upper canopies of the trees, which can be difficult to study. If a single marbled murrelet is spotted in the surveyed area, the entire 50 acres is designated as a murrelet management area and timber harvesting is prohibited. Currently, ODF spends about $700,000 annually on these types of surveys. This practice was developed by the Pacific Seabird Group. Josi doesn’t think the process is good enough, but the Pacific Seabird Group’s surveying technique and analysis is the only one available. So generally it’s the only one the courts rely on during the litigation. “The state is trying to develop its own survey,” Josi said, one that’s science-based and peer-reviewed, so it can come up with a protection plan that allows for harvesting. “Because right now,” said Josi, “the two can’t happen simultaneously.” Ferris disagrees. “We’re not looking at a change in the law,” he said. “Our purpose was to get [the state] to rewrite their forest management plan to be respectful of the bird and its
needs, and try to fulfill some of the promises the state made in terms of protection.” Yet if the forest isn’t harvested properly, Josi said, he fears it will just burn at some future date. “And what does that mean for the schools?” he wonders. Before the lawsuit, the 40 million board feet in the Elliot State Forest would have resulted in $25.2 million for Oregon’s Common School Fund over the next two years. The Common School Fund was developed by Congress in 1859 when Oregon joined the Union. The lands and resources under the State Land Board’s jurisdiction were to be managed “with the object of obtaining the greatest benefit for the people of this state.” Now, only 15 million board feet and $8 million are expected from the Elliot this year ÷ with no money for the Common School Fund. Which is something Ferris said the state should have thought about before it violated the federal Endangered Species Act. “The timber industry is a shrinking one,” said Ferris,
No mayor? ‘No rush.’ By Joe Wrabek

Rockaway Beach Mayor Danell Boggs has officially resigned, with no one yet to fill her shoes. The City Council accepted her written resignation during a meeting Nov. 13. Boggs had informed the council on Oct. 9 that she would be resigning, although an official written resignation was needed before the council could move forward with appointing a new mayor. According to City Council president Rich Riley, that
might happen during the group’s scheduled meeting in December. Or it might wait even until January. Meantime, it’s Riley’s duty under the city’s charter to serve as the mayor. When a new mayor is appointed, he or she will serve only until November 2014, Riley said, which is when Boggs’s term would have expired. Going back in time, “We as a council picked [Boggs]” to fill a vacancy when the previous mayor stepped down, said Riley. “I personally nominated her and I think
she did an outstanding job. We thought the world of her.” While he can’t speak for the entire council, said Riley, he’d like to see the new mayor be someone who has served on a variety of civic committees and have a working knowledge of city government functions and processes. Or, the council could select one of its own members to be the next mayor. But that would require a search for a new council member. Either way, Riley said, any council member can suggest a nomination.

Poor Decisions by Port Of Tillamook Bay and other stuff
1) The Port of Tillamook Bay, making financial decisions, (ie to keep a property or not) when the decision to pas keep or sell an un-used property hinges on “does not feel/ smell right to me,” makes me nervous! Clearly there is not much good financial decision making ability at the table. My preceding statement is supported by all the empty “new” breeder-warehouse buildings at the port which were built, apparently to look pretty, and not to accommodate possible tenants. People needing warehouse space generally would have real trucks coming and going. Doors large enough to accommodate real trucks would have been nice. Sayde Moser’s suggestion (Hanger B Brewing Company) in a recent paper has a better chance of financial success than the one that came from the board at the port. 2) “Free Money” used by the Port to build these white elephants came from you and me, via the federal government. This money was not free!

Are we really a tree city? When driving into Tillamook, there are prominent signs from the Arbor Day Foundation calling us Tree City USA. If you go to a city council meeting, you will be looking at a huge banner proclaiming the same. Am I the only person who finds this to be an insult? You will be hard pressed to find another city that treats trees the way we do. Have you noticed the recent “pruning” of the cherry trees on Fifth Street and Main Avenue? How about the ones on First Street and Main Avenue? Go check out the 75-year-old tree stumps next to the Goodspeed Park playground. Does anyone remember Izaak Walton Park next to the fairgrounds and the clear cutting that razed it to be replaced by a run-of-the-mill subdivision? Most towns value and revere their trees and parks. Have you been to the valley lately to see the tree lined
streets with their stunning colors? Tillamook could look that way. We seem to treat them as an inconvenience. I propose that the Tree City USA signs be removed. A copy of this letter, along with pictures, will be sent to the Arbor Day Foundation to further this proposal along. Bill Miles Bay City
A big thank you from the VFW The VFW Post 2848 and it’s Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank all of the wonderful people who helped to make this years Veteran’s Day program a resounding success.

High School Chorus and Community Choir had our veterans rising to the occasion during their rendition of the service anthems. The Clan MaClay Pipe Bands performance of Amazing Grace brought tears to our eyes. Karen Backman’s Taps was haunting. Special kudos goes to Joel Baker and his Buffalo Kitty Band.

Labhart. “We picked what we believe is the best fit for the new fair board, the fair and for Tillamook County.” The decision to reconfigure the fair board and add two additional members came following post-fair interviews with the previous board, Labhart said. “It became clear during the interviews that even though the [2013] fair was again a great success, each fair board member indicated there was some discord in and among the fair board members themselves,” he said. “The workload on the
existing volunteer fair board was burning out some, if not all, the members.” The board had been operating the Tillamook County Fair without a manager and was down to only one office staff person. The county commissioners decided to expand the board to seven positions and asked all of the current members to reapply. “This expansion was needed to ensure broad geographical and diverse representation from throughout Tillamook County,” Labhart said. “We didn’t have that before.” At least a couple of the
board’s members want to concentrate on more than just the annual fair. “I’d like to see our facilities continue to be updated,” said Downing, “and see not only that the fairgrounds [are] utilized during fair, but that it becomes a venue in and of itself throughout the year.” Hogan agreed, adding, “It’s going to be very exciting to see where this new group of people can take the fairgrounds, not just the fair.” Labhart said one of the board’s first priorities will be hiring a new fair manager. Downing said she hopes that happens soon. “The fair
manager is really a full-time job,” she said. “The fair board is made up of all volunteers with their own full-time commitments, so there needs to be that point person with their finger on the day-to-day activities.”

skills. While Oregon’s family-owned sawmill businesses have a long history of investing in our local communities, I am not sure the same can be said for all of the large out-of-state log exporting companies. Some of these large outof-state landowners who represent investment money from all over the world seem to be only interested in getting the maximum price for their logs by selling to Asian customers. In doing so, they pull logs out of the Pacific Northwest “wood basket” which lowers the local supply and keeps domestic log prices too high for existing lumber market conditions. Do we really believe the Chinese will continue to pay extraordinarily high prices for Oregon’s private logs after its domestic sawmill industry is decimated? Once our domestic industry is destroyed, Oregon’s private forest landowners will likely be forced to convert forestlands to nonforest uses as the customer base for their logs will be inadequate to provide an acceptable return for the costs incurred in sustainable forest management. Is the conversion of forests to shopping malls or other developments an acceptable social or environmental answer for Oregon? While this log export activity may be adding a few port jobs to ship raw logs to Asia, a much larger group of Oregon’s sawmill workforce will lose its employment opportunity as an added consequence. I believe in free trade, but it is not fair trade when the Chinese subsidize raw material imports to create low-wage jobs in China. If the log export yard at Newport is completed and gets anywhere close to the

size of the one at Astoria, this could lead to the closing of our sawmill at Tillamook. Other sawmills in Oregon will also be affected as there are not any extra logs to put through Newport. Unfortunately, neither the Ports of Newport or Astoria have the infrastructure to economically load valueadded lumber we produce and ship using containers, so once again the sawmills and our workers will take it on the chin. What kind of public policy is this for the state of Oregon? As more sawmills close due to the shutdown of public lands and increased private log exports, the U.S. will be forced to buy more lumber from Canada. With all of our underutilized natural resources, it is disgusting that we have to buy 35% of our lumber from Canada while we ship privately-owned logs to Asia. I applaud the local citizens who have stood up and clearly understand the down side of log exports out of Newport. Whether from an environmental or economic standpoint, it makes no sense for Oregon. The Governor in speaking to the Board of Forestry claimed he had no wish to see Oregon turn into a “timber colony for Asia.” As I understand it, the final hurdle for the log export proponents to clear is to obtain permission for the required Yaquina Bay dredging from the DEQ and State Land Board. Now is the time for public officials to do the right thing and stand up for local jobs producing value-added products. Can we really afford as a state to trade family wage jobs for foreign log sales that leave Oregon poorer in many ways? Please shut off the public funds for this unsustainable activity.

NETARTS BAY: on the bay and catch all the clams in the world,” he said. “You can’t do that anymore. “The easily accessible places are being clammedout, so we need other places to clam.” Of even greater concern, said Stahl, is that no one seems to be monitoring how many oyster plats Netarts Bay can sustain. “I don’t mind people harvesting oysters out there,” he said, “but when is enough, enough?” And Stahl also is worried about the health of the black brant goose, which, he said, has declined on the bay since ODA took over the oyster plat applications there. “Estuaries are important to the entire ecosystem of an area,” said Stahl. “So who is making sure these oysters aren’t damaging it?” Yet science doesn’t support Stahl’s concerns, said Matt Hunter of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Hunter is the supervising shellfish project leader for ODFW. “Oysters have been found in every estuary since prehistoric times,” Hunter said. Granted, the oysters in Netarts Bay aren’t considered native to the estuary, “but they still have the same ecological niche,” he said. Several studies have been conducted that show the benefits of oysters in estuaries, Hunter said. Not many studies have been done to try and prove the opposite. “The amount of research on the benefits [oysters] have on an ecosystem far outweigh any data that proves that it doesn’t,” he said. What’s more, an oyster plat lease doesn’t make that land private, Hunter said. “That’s a misconception we deal with a lot. “Just because they lease the land doesn’t mean they have proprietorship of the land,” he said. “They can’t prevent someone else from

being on the plat and harvesting clams.” Yet Oregon law (ORS 622.320) states that any plats for the cultivation of oysters, if distinctly marked as such, shall be deemed private property. In fact, the owners of these plats are allowed to sell them simply by notifying ODA and submitting a fee of $100. As for who is regulating the bay, thereby ensuring that the current 21 oyster plats aren’t having an unintended adverse affect on the bay, the answer is simple: No one. Jon Byers, the shellfish plat leasing program director with ODA, isn’t on the bay every week. “I’m not required to do that,” he said. The ODA does require annual reports from its lessees recording the gallons, bushels or numbers of each species of oyster harvested the previous year. Quarterly taxes (10 cents for every gallon of oysters sold) and annual usage fees (no more than $14 per acre) also are required, which helps ODA keep track of which plats are active and which aren’t. Byers said there are parts of the bay unsuitable for oyster harvesting because the Food Safety Division has put restrictions on water that is considered unsafe for human consumption. But as far as whether or not the bay can handle the current number of oyster plats, or any additional plats in the future, Byers said he wouldn’t even know how to quantify that. “What metrics do you want to look at?” agreed Hunter. One could look at the overall health of the estuary, or overall populations of species, or water quality, or Ö. And regardless of the type of survey, it would need to be based on a historic time series, Hunter said, which the state simply does not have. “It
would be nice to have information on the bay prior to all the oysters, but the fact of the matter is, we don’t. We have to look at the here and now.” The here and now says there aren’t significant changes occurring on Netarts Bay. Hunter said that even the decline of the black brant could be cyclical and have nothing to do with the estuary. “That population has been going down for years,” he said. All in all, Hunter said, “If there is no science and no literature to support a theory, then I can’t support it.” However, he added, that doesn’t mean ODFW isn’t interested in the health of Netarts Bay, or any estuary, for that matter. Just recently, the agency finished up one-

half of a two-year survey on the bay – the first of its kind in 30 years. Hunter said that survey, while not perfect, is important. “We’ll come back in following years to do spot checks to see what’s happening, and have a better idea of what’s changing or not changing,” he said. “Without this survey as step one, though, we’d be at a loss to say if the bay is changing or not.” Stahl said he just wants to ensure someone other than his family is watching over Netarts.Bay. “My investment is the estuary and public land,” he said. “That’s my only investment. “I’d like to entrust agencies to take care of our assets on this earth.”
“The surfing community is pretty tight-knit and the support has been incredible,” said Mark Lorincz. “I can’t imagine the family trying to do this all by themselves. “It’s just an incredible burden, and we’re really impressed. I’ve known a lot of people who care about my brother and that says a lot about the north coast community.” Lorincz is expected to make a full recovery, but under doctor’s orders he’s unable to drive for the next three weeks, possibly delaying his return to the classroom. “We were all shocked and scared to hear that he was in such a serious accident,” said Neah-KahNie High School principal Heidi Buckmaster. “I hear from friends that were able to go visit him that while physically in pain, his sense of humor is fully intact. We are all extremely thankful that his wetsuit was the only casualty.” Mark Lorincz said his brother hopes to return to the high school before Christmas break. “I know he wants to get back as soon as possible, because he loves his students,” he said. “He’s going to miss that interaction.” According to Andre Lorincz’s recent Facebook

Speech and Debate Team wins Oktoberfest Tournament lots of others on the team doing well, even though they didn’t make finals,” Nestucca Head Speech Coach David Schaefer said. Nestucca’s team consists of 25 members, 16 of whom are beginners. Morgan would like to thank the community for their support and help with Saturday’s tournament. More than 50 volunteers helped with the judging and several others donated their time to making sure the event ran smoothly. “These tournaments rely on the work of so many people. We’re thankful to have the support of the community,” Morgan said.

For the first time in memory, the Tillamook Speech and Debate Program won a major regular season tournament this past Saturday at their own Oktoberfest Tournament. “It is exciting as a team to win the overall points of the day,” Tillamook Head Speech and Debate Coach Andrew Morgan said. “This is why the kids practice so hard all year is for these days.” With over 160 competitors from 12 schools from all over the northwest, Tillamook was able to take top honors by earning 119 points for a sweepstake win. The sweepstake winner was determined based on the number of points accumulated by the team. Seventeen of Tillamook’s 27 competing students earned points for the team on Saturday including junior Shayla Hayes and senior Sean Rumage. In the Dual Interpreta-
tion category, Hayes and Rumage performed a piece titled “Barbie and Ken” where they acted out several small scenes portraying the life and relationship between the two plastic figurines. “One of our coaches gave us the piece and Sean is one of my best friends, so the coach thought that the piece would match us,” Hayes said of their performance choice. “I enjoy making people laugh and it’s a comedic speech.” Hayes and Rumage’s doll impersonations earned them third place. Also earning points for Tillamook’s winning team was the debate duo of Cole Haenggi and Martin Nelson-Harrington. “I personally like debate because it has a sense of challenge that you don’t really find in impromptu,” Nelson-Harrington said. “With Parli[ament] especially, it incorporates some of the more difficult parts of every type of debate which I think is a really neat opportunity to be able
to have.” Haenggi and NelsonHarrington competed as a team in the Open Parliament debate division. The teams were unaware of their debate topic before entering the competition. To select the debate topic, the two debate teams were presented with three options and they narrowed the list to one subject on which they debated. The only resources each team was allowed to use was their partner, pen and paper, and a dictionary. One of the selected topics of the day was whether public or charter schools are better for education. “You’re always trying to find some way to maneuver around your opponents argument,” Haenggi said of the uniqueness of a debate. The duo finished the competition with an overall win in the Open Parliament category. Nestucca and NeahKah-Nie High Schools also competed at the tournament. “We actually had a great tournament with

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed growing up in the Northwest with the beautiful outdoors just in my backyard. From my childhood house (30 miles north of Seattle), Mt. Pilchuck filled our front living room window. If we drove further into town, Mt. Baker could be seen peaking its way out of the clouds, and when we traveled to Seattle, Mt. Rainer would sit prominently in the city’s background on those rare sunny days. These mountainous treasures hold very special memories for me as I have hiked my way through their vast trail systems. While I am in no way an expert, I have enjoyed my time on the trails. I didn’t begin recreationally hiking until I started dating my husband Aaron three and a half years ago.

Assassination: 50 years later Doctor, now living on Oregon coast, recounts autopsy By Jeremy C. Ruark jruark@countrymedia.net
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963 shook the nation and triggered talk of conspiracy for years. Dr. Jay Cox, today living in Depoe Bay, was the Officer of the Day at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland on the day of the assassination and when President Kennedy’s body was brought there for the autopsy. “I was a young resident in my second year and as Officer of the Day I was in charge of the entire hospital,” said Cox. “I was the first one informed that Kennedy’s body was being sent to our hospital.” According to Cox, while Air Force One was leaving Dallas following the assassination, the President’s physician asked Jackie Kennedy, the President’s wife, where she wanted the autopsy performed and she selected Bethesda. “The corpsman on duty got the call and he ran down to the hospital cafeteria, where we were all eating supper, to inform me that the body of the President was coming to our facility,” said Cox. “At that point my job was to assemble the medical team and get things ready to go. After that, it was out of my hands.” Doctors at the hospital in Dallas tried to revive President Kennedy, but they didn’t plan to do the autopsy, according to Cox. “When they knew the President was dead, they packaged him up and sent to him to Air Force One,” said Cox. “There had been no initial communication between Dallas hospital doctors and those at Bethesda about the wounds suffered by the President.” Cox said he witnessed the entire autopsy. “When we got the President in the room and undressed for the autopsy all you saw was the head

That’s where the confusion and the talk of conspiracy began.” Cox said he believes what the medical team found rules out a second shooter and that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. “As we turned the body over, we immediately saw two wounds; one in the back of the President’s skull and the other wound in his back,” said Cox “The exit wound from the head was very obvious because it took out the right half of the skull and part of the brain.
We could not find an exit wound for the bullet that entered the back. But we did receive a call from the Dallas doctors that they had done a tracheotomy and that’s when our medical team decided the bullet went in the back and came out in the throat. The importance of that is that we knew the President had been shot from behind, not from in front. It just shows where the confusion was. Dallas doctors never turned Kennedy’s body over and never saw the wounds in the back.” During the three-hour autopsy,
the Kennedy family and staff were in an upstairs room at the hospital. Their presence impacted the results of the autopsy, according to Cox. “It might have been more thorough, but the Kennedy family was there on the 10th floor waiting for this to be done,” said Cox. “They kept calling us to see when we would finish, so there was pressure to finish quickly. Normally, the doctors would carefully trace the wounds, but because they felt they were under pressure they did not do that.”
Cox said even as doctors attempted to record the procedure, simple mistakes were made. “In those days, everything had to be recorded by hand,” said Cox. “The original notes were all full of blood. The doctors recopied the notes, and, in so doing, they wrote that the wound on the back was two inches away from its original place. That was one of the original mistakes.” Cox said military admirals at the hospital ordered the bloodied notes and the doctors’ clothes to be burned so that there would be nothing for souvenir hunters. “But they did not burn the President’s clothes or any of the other evidence,” said Cox. “The evidence was secured.” Another twist during the autopsy came during a request from the President’s wife. “Jackie didn’t want the President’s head shaved during the autopsy,” said Cox. “She was thinking of an open casket viewing. Normally, your wife or my wife couldn’t make that call, but the doctors decided to go along with her request. At the time, none of this seemed like a big deal. It was really pretty cut-and-dry. It was only later that all these questions came up that were pointing toward conspiracy. But I do not believe that there was a conspiracy.” At noon on Nov. 20, Cox will outline. what he remembers about President Kennedy’s autopsy before the Rotary Club of Lincoln City and what he has since learned about Oswald and Jack Ruby, the man who was arrested for shooting Oswald. Cox has assembled news clips from the assassination and the events that unfolded during the Oswald killing. “I will explain that Jack Ruby shot Oswald because he thought he would become a national hero,” Cox said.

SOCO Pride mural dedicated in Pacific City By Julius Jortner
For the Headlight Herald
The new outdoor mural on the building that houses Nestucca Adventures on Brooten Road in Pacific City was celebrated earlier this month by about two dozen people at a dedication. The mural had been provided by SoCo PRIDE, represented at the event by Jamie Lee Niemi, Anna Finel, and Mark Cavatorta. Muralist Krista Eddy was there, as were Dennis Mckay and Jodie Dodge, owners of Nestucca Adventures. SoCo PRIDE is a community coalition whose goal is to reduce high-risk alcohol use among 18-25 year olds in south Tillamook County. Strate-
gies include campaigning to change social norms and local beautification projects. The mural in Pacific City fits both approaches, giving visibility to SoCo PRIDE’s message while simultaneously beautifying the neighborhood. The coalition was formed in response to statewide data showing that Tillamook County is one of Oregon’s highest-risk counties with regard to alcohol-related problems (such as binge drinking, DUI, and violence) among young adults. SoCo PRIDE is supported by concerned citizens, by an Oregon Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant, by the Federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration, and by the Tillamook
Family Counseling Center. According to Niemi, SoCo PRIDE does not seek to eliminate drinking, but seeks to encourage young adults to be safe and smart about their choices. The mural reminds viewers that it is “your time, your future - think before you drink.” It illustrates some alternate activities that may be pursued at the beaches and streams of south county. Nestucca Adventures offers lessons and access to appropriate equipment for many such activities, including kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and yoga on the water. For more info, call Jamie Lee Niemi at the Tillamook Counseling Center at 503-842-8201 or 800-9622851), or Dennis Mckay at Nestucca Advntures at 503-965-0060.

and the driver also used the next slow moving vehicle lane so I passed him also, but with mud splashing all over my car as I passed him.

I am never in a great hurry so I’ll try that. When I came home on Nov. 9, the road was dry as a bone and I got to Tillamook just in time for the Master Gardener Tea at the Nazarene Church starting at 1 p.m. Five Nea-Rock Garden Club ladies sat together at one table.

The Master Gardeners put a lot of time and work into this Tea every year. They decided to have the Tea every other year, alternating with their garden tours. 2014 the Master Gardeners will have the garden tours and 2015 they will have the Master Gardener Tea.

TAPA’s newest play, ‘Inspecting Carol’ opens Nov. 22 The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) & TLC Federal Credit Union are pleased to bring “Inspecting Carol” to Tillamook, kicking off the holiday season on Nov. 22. Written by Daniel Sullivan and directed by Chris Chiola, Inspecting Carol offers a hilarious look at the backstage antics of a community theater’s production of A Christmas Carol. The saying “there is too much drama in the theater” comes to life when this play takes the audience on a hilarious journey as the Soapbox Theatre’s 12th annual production of A Christmas Carol hits a wall of problems with the cast, money, and a wandering out of work actor. The cast is tired of it as it’s been done with the same actors for so long that Tiny Tim has entered puberty. But the cash-cow is needed to impress an inspector from
the National Endowment of the Arts into renewing their arts grant. Much like the hit play Noises Off, the audience has the pleasure of watching a motley crew of characters work through the process of producing a play and the struggles to get it past opening night. Inspecting Carol is simply about a group of founding members struggling with keeping the production fresh while dealing with egos, overacting, back-seat directing, and struggle for the spotlight all while trying to keep the patrons happy. “Inspecting Carol” interjects mild adult humor for those who need a break from the hum drum holiday season. “I hope audiences will laugh themselves silly watching this play and I hope it gives people a break from the madness of the holiday season,” said director Chris Chiola, who brought to TAPA the

Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinées begin at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour prior to curtain. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 12th and Ivy in Tillamook.

eteran’s Day at the Air Museum was well attended. In fact I think there were more there this year than I have ever seen. Perhaps it is due to the museum moving, but I like to think it is because so many more of us are realizing how important our vets and active military persons are to us. The program this year was extremely touching and moving as the Vietnam Vets were the main focus. It was great seeing so many wonderful people there from our own community. I love when I get important news emails from you, like the one I got from Dick Diamond: “I have contacted Representative Schrader’s office in Oregon City after writing a letter regarding the situation of no postal services other than the box at the Bay City office. Additionally, there were no lights on in the evening in the post office so it was hard to see the boxes. Here is the response of MaryAnn Smith, the staffer who is working on the case. She talked to Larry, (obviously the subordinate of Wayne— my comment) at the main Tillamook P.O. They will make sure there is a light on. Additionally, there are four applicants for the contract office in Bay City and the appropriate paperwork has been forwarded to the next level up for approval of a contract person. The postal service plans on having service before the first of the year.
Saturday afternoon. With all that excitement, we mustn’t forget the Lions will be selling their tantalizing homemade goodies on Friday, Nov. 29, 9 a.m. at the club (286 S. Anchor St.). Then you can treat your visiting relatives, or better yet, treat yourself with a potpourri of holiday faire. Friday evening Nov. 29 at 6 p.m., be sure to bring your friends and family to our old fashioned Lighting of the Christmas Tree at our new wayside! The illumination will feature Michael Simpson and his carolers, accompanied by Steve Bauer at the keyboard, Christmas cookies, and festivities you won’t soon forget. Design waterproof ornaments with twist ties to attach to the lower half of the tree, as the Beatification Committee will decorate the top. Bring canned food for the local food bank too. For the child in all of us, Santa Claus will take time from his busy schedule to visit and pose for pictures with you or your kids. So be sure to bring your camera. At the St Mary’s dining hall the Meals for Seniors are having their French Toast Breakfast and Christmas Bazaar silent auction too. There will be absolutely no reason to be hungry that weekend. Saturday, Nov. 30, there will be French Toast, sausage, scrambled eggs, Gail’s famous berry sauce for the French Toast, coffee, and juice. The cost is by donation. Now, it is with a saddened heart that we have lost longtime resident Nick Galluchio. Goodbye my friend. “Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you.” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!” They do not plan on closing the office.” Dick, it is people like you in our city that keep us in the know, thank you so much for going the extra mile, caring about this and sharing it with us. The Planning Commission is about to fill one of its vacancies. Fred Rigwood has presented an application for appointment to the Commission, and the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that he be appointed to fill one of the vacancies. That leaves one existing vacancy needing to be filled, and another is expected in the not-too-distant future. One of our members wishes to resign as soon as a replacement can be found. To apply to fill a vacancy, you need only fill out an application at the city office. Applicants may expect to be interviewed. Fred comes to the commission very well qualified. He served on the planning commission in Pasco, Washington, for several years, and he has some experience in construction. The Commission members look forward to working with Fred when the City Council approves his appointment. Welcome Fred and thank you. The Boosters Club welcomes all who live in or near Bay City.

Notes From the Coast
Know when to act, know when to stop My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make – Robert Frost Know when to stop – Lao Tse hen our son Josh was just crawling, he pushed open the screen door, crawled half way through, changed his mind and tried to back up. Stuck. He growled, he yelled, he screamed. I watched. He stopped, thought, and pushed through, crawling to me, grinning. Scientists tried to control coyotes in Eastern Oregon by poisoning them. With fewer coyotes, their food source, rabbits, exploded, exploding the population of coyotes. We planted European beach grass to stabilize the sand that used to obscure the roads at Kiwanda. It stabilized the sand into a 150-ft. high ridge that blocked views, built a 20-foot sand cliff on the spit three miles long that harbored predators which ran off snowy plovers, and occasionally collapses,

killing teenagers, and so on. The State of Oregon wanted to make a safe entry port out of Tillamook Bay. It did. It also changed the ocean currents, which destroyed the town of Bay Ocean. We’ve tried to protect the salmon by killing and harassing sea lions and birds that have been feeding on salmon smolts since God was a kid. We’ve spent millions raising hatchery salmon with no proof they help the native species they’re designed to strengthen. We’ve acted to protect the spotted owl, which increased the population of barred
owls, which eat spotted owls. We brought the eagle, the symbol of our country’s strength, back from DDTcaused near extinction, a bird, I’ve seen bullied and the fish it was eating stolen by two seagulls. We’ve brought water to the cities by creating deserts. Our attempts to feed our nation has resulted in a kind of starvation on empty calories, creating an epidemic of obesity. We filled the supermarkets with pool ball tomatoes and destroyed the family garden. In our search for health we’ve declared cream, eggs, and bread the enemy. We’ve so distorted beef it has to be fed antibiotics to live which create germs that kill us. We fought World War I we named the war to end all wars. It led to World War II. We created the United Nations to resolve conflicts and told it to sit down and shut up when it tells us we’re a bully. It’s difficult to count the number of American soldiers killed by weapons we’ve
given to rebel groups we’re trying to help. We, the richest country in the world, are joined at the computer to the rest of the world and our economic welfare threatened by, why not, Greece and Iceland. We supply the money both to fight the war on drugs and the market to keep it in business. There are young men serving long sentences related to marijuana who, when they are released, will be able to go to a State operated store to buy some. We created Earth Day in 1970, and since, evicted the polar bears with no forwarding address by melting the arctic ice cap of the only planet we’ve got. Fathers love their sons so much they use strict discipline on them so they’ll turn into fine men who avoid their fathers. It’s easy to connect the dots from Lao Tse to Frost. They said the same things. Know when to act. Know when to stop. Or, think more, do less.
‘Tillamook Traditions’ shows off local food, history at Grange By Joe Wrabek
jwrabek@countrymedia.net
A capacity crowd packed the historic Fairview Grange Sunday, Nov. 10 for the first-ever “Tillamook Traditions” event. Organized as a benefit for the Tillamook Farmer’s Market and Food Roots, the afternoon event featured a half-dozen different varieties or soups provided by local restaurants, ranging from a borscht to a salmon chowder, artisan breads, and a dozen different kinds of homemade pies. The Tillamook Pioneer Museum brought an exhibit of pioneer kitchen tools, and volunteers in pioneer garb. (“Food Roots and the Farmer’s Market asked us to participate,” museum curator Gary Albright said. “We know everybody.”) For those who didn’t show up in pioneer-era garb, there was a rack of “period” clothes people could dress up in to have their photos taken, in front of indoor and outdoor “scene” paintings created for the occasion. The paintings will stay at the Grange hall, the Headlight Herald was advised – they’re too big to fit through any of the doors.

Guests at “Tillamook Traditions” dressed up for the event, which benefited the Tillamook Farmers’ Market and Food Roots. Attendees could also purchase raffle tickets for overnight “romantic” stays, a fishing trip, a handmade myrtlewood table, and more. Proceeds from the event – including the raffles – were going half to Food Roots and half to the Farmer’s Market, Albright said.
The “Tillamook Traditions” affair was the first big event in years to be held at the Fairview Grange, built in 1916 and one of the biggest halls in the county. The Fairview Grange was reorganized just last year, with an influx of new, younger members.
