Staff report

chubert Moore has written and released “The Monster Chasers,” a children’s book about Lily, a four-year-old girl as the hero.

There are monsters under the bed and there are monsters in the closet, according to Moore.

Instead of asking her parents to chase them away each night before bedtime, the book’s protagonist, Lily, with the help of her dog, Socks, does the job herself.

There is a strange monster who lives in the woods Lily has never confronted. Lily vows to Socks, though she’s scared, by lunchtime tomor-

n 2010, dairy farmers Bart and Kurt Mizée had reached a point where they needed to carve more flexibility into their working day. Their answer was to install the first robotic dairy milking system in the Western U.S. the following year.

To date, the farm’s three robots have milked the farmers’ 180 cows nearly 1 million times. On average each cow visits a robot 2.8 times per day.

“Five years ago (other dairymen) thought we were crazy and now they realize it will work,” said Kurt Mizée, the farm’s fourth-generation owner. “We changed perceptions.”

five robotic dairies, he said.

Six years ago, the Mizées were at a crossroads. Their herd had outgrown the double eight herringbone-style milking parlor. Both men said they felt the need to balance work and personal life and began discussing a newer, faster milking parlor.

Then, after watching a simulated robotics demonstration given by a dairy sales company in Tillamook, the partners agreed to research robotic milking units. They were drawn to the idea that with a robotic system, the milking parlor was available to each cow whenever she wanted to be milked, rather than on a specific schedule set by humans.

Integrating such a new technology on their farm wasn’t a far stretch for this five-gener-

ation dairy farm family. Rudy Fenk, 90, is the farm’s secondgeneration owner. “I was one of the first guys to go with the technology,” recalled Fenk. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the new ideas.”

Kurt Mizée traveled to Tulare, Calif. for the World Ag Expo, February, 2011 to see further robotic demonstrations and to speak with sales representatives.

While Kurt was at the expo his wife, Wendy, and daughter, Shelby, 8, died in an automobile accident. Kurt was faced with the reality of raising his son, Ryan, 5, as a single parent. Fewer hours at the farm became a necessity, rather than a hoped-for dream.

“For us, (this decision became a) quality of life issue,”

oad signs are put up to keep drivers safe, according to Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright.

Disobeying them could earn the drivers a citation, but also put themselves in danger, the chief said Monday.

One of his officers wrote five citations at one time after drivers traveling west on Highway 6 kept driving around ‘road closed’ signs just east of the railroad underpass on Thanksgiving.

Highway 6 where the road dips under the railroad tracks just as westbound drivers are entering the city is just one of the locations that often required the posting of signs warning about high water levels on the road.

But that isn’t the only location in Tillamook, the chief explained.

North Main Avenue often gets posted with high water and flooded signs when the road becomes covered with water, he explained.

“We have it all the time when we have to close North Main (because of flooding). We’ll have signs there and people just go around them. That is why I

Officials say county will not opt out of class-action lawsuit over timber harvest

By Ann Powers editor@northcoastcitizen.com

Tillamook County has about two months to decide if it wants to opt out of a $1.4 billion class-action suit, against the Oregon Department of Forestry, claiming that mismanagement of Oregon Forest Trust Lands has cost 15 counties $35 million a year since 1998.

But so far, officials are saying the county is in.

“There’s no reason why you would pull out,” said Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi, who heads up the Council of Forest Trustland Counties Committee. “It’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face.”

Attorney John DiLorenzo, of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP of Portland, filed the lawsuit in Linn County Circuit Court earlier this year. The suit alleges breach of contract on behalf of counties that receive money based on annual timber harvests of 654,000 acres Forest Trust Lands statewide. About half of that acreage lies within Tillamook County, Josi added.

DiLorenzo said a notice of

Bob Van Dyk, the Wild Salmon Center’s Oregon and California policy director and part of the North Coast State Forest Coalition.

Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi says the county will not opt out of the timber harvest class-action lawsuit.

the legal action was mailed on Nov. 23 to the counties and roughly 150 harvest-revenue beneficiaries – such as law enforcement agencies, school districts, fire departments, libraries and more. Besides Linn and Tillamook, the other counties include Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Douglas, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Marion, Polk and Washington.

“They have 60 days to opt

out,” DiLorenzo said. “If they take no action to do so, they will be included as plaintiffs.

If they opt out, they forego the money.”

The legal action stems from issues dating back to the 1930s and the definition of Greatest Permanent Value (GPV).

In 1939, under Gov. Charles Sprague and the Legislature’s State Forest Acquisition Act, the state began acquiring the mostly

cutover timberlands. The land had become a financial burden to the counties during the Great Depression because of delinquent property tax payments, foreclosures and in the wake of massive fires.

In exchange, the lands were to be managed for their GPV and portions of revenues generated by timber sales distributed to the counties. At the time, the counties and special districts interpreted that to mean the property be managed for the largest sustainable timber.

However, since then the state has expanded the GPV’s definition to include other factors such as wildlife protection, watershed enhancement and recreation. In 1998, an administrative rule changed forest management policy so timberrevenue generation was less of a priority, and the Department of Forestry reduced annual timber harvest proceeds without the consent of the beneficiaries.

“They took the emphasis off of timber harvest and created

“I think it is more important to have fun and spend time with my guests at parties.” The Barefoot Contessa The festive party season has officially begun.

Lovely parties decked out in garlands of cedar and holly berries, beckon to us.

Twinkling lights, laughter and rich holiday foods grace warm homes filled with partygoers. We might even be so inspired by the season as to deck our own halls and have a party. Whatever the case, going to or having a party, there is a definite art to it so you won’t get stressed out of your mistletoed mind and expand your waist to Santa’s girth.

One of the key components of a stress-free holiday party is easy, healthy food. I know “easy” and “healthy” used in the same sentence with “holiday party” seems like an oxymoron, but it is possible. I assure you.

There are two festive dishes that you can serve at any party that will be received with big rosy smiles; the vegetable platter and the fruit and cheese platter.

We’re not talking just any ole platter like you get from a grocery store (even those will do in a pinch). We are talking an updated, healthy and sexy looking tray of merry healthy foods! These trays are easy to put together and filled with goodness that we all need this time of year.

They can even be elevated to art work, with little planning and prep. Oh, and they don’t require any cooking. Easy, healthy and delicious: check.

First off, when planning the platter of your choice, think textures and colors.

Start by choosing an interesting platter to arrange it on. A large wooden cutting board or a bamboo tea tray are my favorite go-to containers. I have found some great platters at Goodwill or other thrift store that are interesting and affordable too.

Let’s start with the luscious fruit and cheese platters. Pick out an array of dif-

cheese, fruit and veggies.

Make sure they are nonpoisonous and pesticide free first! Our native salal is a great one to use; completely edible and evergreen. (Holly and mistletoe are slightly poisonous, so don’t use them.) Then arrange the fruit and cheeses or the veggies in a fun and pleasing way. Use your imagination and most of all enjoy the process and the different flavors you are presenting. Your tray will be well visited! There are many people wishing to eat healthy foods this time of year. I wish you a healthy and (relatively) stress-free holiday season!

Beat holiday stress with platters of goodness ferent cheeses; a hard one, a soft creamy one, a mild one and a pungent one. Choosing locally made cheeses adds even more interest to the tray and/or try making a cheese log for a kick. Tip: Let your cheeses come to room temperature for a few hours before serving as cheese tastes better that way.

Next, think fruit; colorful, different shapes, and the simpler the better. Choose fruits that are in season and are easy to pick up and eat.

Grapes, apples and pear slices, figs and tangerines slices are good choices for this time of year. (To keep your pear and apple slices from turning brown, squeeze the juice of an orange over them and toss till well coated.)

Add some dried fruit, like cranberries and apricots, then some nuts, roasted cashews and almonds are good picks.

Choose some sliced breads or crackers for the platter as well. I love nut crackers, like “Blue Diamond Nut Thins” because they are healthy, gluten-free and have great crunch.

Let’s talk vegetable platters now, or in French, “crudités platter,” are equally enjoyable to create. Once again, think colors and textures. Carrots of different colors, sliced in half lengthways, radicchio and Belgian endive cut into little scoops, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, lightly steamed green beans and asparagus, then julienned bell peppers and celery make great choices.

Make a dip for the vegetables that is sleek and different. Something like a “Green Goddess”, baba ganoush, or zesty orange hummus dip (recipe above).

Now for the fun part, assembling your masterpiece.

Allow your creative spirit to flow here. Pick some herbs, like sprigs of rosemary and sage, to arrange around the platter to add interest.

Pine boughs that have been washed work too if you can’t get fresh herbs. Pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries sprinkled around the herbs make a lovely holiday theme.

You can use leaves from the garden to place under the

Recycling efforts earn county schools garden beds

Tillamook County Schools really cleaned up last week.

“The 2016 America Recycles Day collections were a huge success,” said Sue Owens, Solid Waste Education and Outreach Coordinator, “Even though only seven schools participated, most of them really got into it and worked hard to earn raised garden beds for their schools.”

All that was asked of the schools was to collect one “SuperSack” each of plastic films and Styrofoam. Every participating school collected at least one bag and most collected far more. Neskowin Valley School collected 12 SuperSacks total with South Prairie Elementary close behind with eight. The collections were successful due to the enthusiasm of the staff

and students and support of parents and local businesses who contributed beyond expectations.

“We are excited to be awarding these participating schools with garden beds in early spring,” said Owens, “They worked hard to make a difference and we’re proud of them, as you should be too.

Between the seven schools nearly 30 SuperSacks of plastics and Styrofoam was collected.”

A reindeer and an elf check the computer at the Garibaldi Maritime Museum while Santa and Mrs. Claus wait for more visitors Saturday. The three-day open house and gift shop sale was the final public event of the year for the museum.

North Pole visitors mark end of museum season

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net The Garibaldi Museum closed to the public for the winter after a big weekend, according to the manager.

The museum facilities can still be reserved for meetings and reunions, but the museum will not be opening again to the public until March, Anna Rzuczek said Saturday.

The museum was able to close out 2016 with a bit of a bang, thanks to three days of Santa and a gift store sales event, she said.

“It has been excellent.”

The museum had Santa and Mrs. Claus in the building for three days, along with a large display of Christmas ornaments for purchase.

For the families visiting Santa, the museum also set up areas where the children and parents could color their own Christmas stockings.

“We close Dec. 1 so we are looking forward to doing other things, like working on exhibits,” she said.

The museum is normally open Thursday through Mon-

day from April to October.

In November and March, the museum is only open on weekends.

During the winter, the museum will be open by appointment only, she explained. “A lot of people do that because they want the museum to themselves.

They may be having a family reunion or something else. It works out.”

The museum has already been reserved in upcoming weeks for business meetings. “We have left the room decorated (for Christmas) so people can come in and do a Christmas party.”

Among the groups who have already reserved the museum is the Coast Guard Auxiliary, she said.

“They come every year and we leave the room decorated for them.”

The museum moves to its summer hours for spring break, the manager added.

If people want to make a reservation, all they have to do is leave a message on the phone (503-322-8411).

Rzuczek added, “I check the messages daily.”

Serving as our Medical Director, Dr. Lisa Steffey, D.O. is board certified in family medicine and sees patients of all ages. A Tillamook County Native, and graduate of Neah-Kah-Nie High School, Dr. Steffey is excited to return home and take on a leadership role.

The Oregon Department of Transportation is responsible for posting when roads are closed, the police chief said.

“The signs are there for a reason,” explained Wright. “People were thinking that the water wasn’t too deep so they’d be able to go through.

“What if there was a hole in the road? If they did go around and did get hurt, they would sue us (the City of Tillamook).

“So people just need to obey the signs when they

are out. There is no justifiable reason to go by it.

“That would be the same as there is no traffic so I can drive faster than the speed limit,” he said.

“Or, there is not a lot of traffic in the middle of the night so I am going to run the red light.”

Drivers can not pick and choose what laws or signs to obey, he said.

“You can’t just make some arbitrary decision that you think that it (signs) doesn’t apply to you.

“They either apply or they don’t.”

WOLFE’S DEN

Ballad of a Beaver Believer I bleed black and orange.

During the second half of the Civil War game on Saturday, as the OSU Beavers football team turned on the heat against the U of O Ducks – in a downpour that would make Noah’s ark jealous – I was swept away to NostalgiaVille (where I often live), and recounted my weird history with Beavers football.

In my family, when you are born, two things happen: A) You’re alive! Congrats! And; B) Beaver Nation immediately increases its population by one.

Why are we Beavers fans?

I don’t think anyone really knows, but since I can remember, I have unabashedly rooted for all things Oregon State University (sports, academics, more sports), but the crown jewel for most Beaver athletics eluded me.

Football.

I just couldn’t grasp the sport as a child. Why weren’t they using their feet more?

Why are the zebra-men throwing yellow hankies on the field? What’s up with those point values?

As a hapless nerd (which even came as a surprise to Katie-Lady, who found out way too late to turn back. Surprise!), I tried my best to feign comprehension. Like cheering wildly and hugging everyone in the room when the Beavers would dramatically win.

What was a two-point conversion, again?

But something happened in the early 2000s that would begin a shift in my relation with football – my grandparents got season tickets.

It was Saturday morning. I had big plans to devour half a box of Cocoa Pebbles™ and binge-watch as many cartoons as possible, before the phone rang.

My grandmother was calling to ask if I wanted to go to “the game” (why does that always seem to mean something to someone?). It was pouring rain and my grandfather was, of course, going to go even if Mt. Hood began to erupt.

Out of our entire family, I was the one who could go.

Me, the kid who played basketball at the YMCA so poorly I accidentally made a basket when I was trying to pass, was going to go watch a live football game.

A small bit of pressure was applied and my bowl of Cocoa Pebbles™ was in the sink and I soon found myself riding shotgun in Grandpa’s truck, wearing my grandmother’s OSU jersey.

Jordan Wolfe My grandfather has the gift of gab (which he gifted upon me the entire way to Corvallis), but I should have found a moment to slip in a “Hey, Grandpa, can you please explain football to me?”

We made it to Reser Stadium and I was amazed at the size. Our seats were about seven rows up from the field (which makes things even more difficult, if you don’t know what’s happening) and we watched the game in Beavers rain jackets. I don’t remember who “we” were playing, I think it was the University of California, but I do remember waterfalls cascading down the steps from the torrential rain.

The game ended and as Grandpa drove the back roads home, I was inspired to try out for football.

However, during the first “practice,” the coach dumped a pile of pads on the ground and asked the players to pick theirs out. I grabbed something that was probably meant to protect your thigh, but was completely overwhelmed by how foreign and intimidating the whole situation was.

I slipped out the back door and decided band was my thing.

Two years later, still without knowing anything about the sport, I played (mostly) an entire year as a freshman in high school.

My apologies to all of my teammates and coaches. I was terrible (but I looked good doing it!). My football career ended with the season.

As I progressed through high school, I would saddle up shotgun, alongside Grandpa, for those rainy, cold or latenight games in Corvallis.

I started to figure it out on my own (being way too embarrassed at that point to ask for guidance) and would cheer at the appropriate times and knew, instinctively, to boo when a boloney call was made by the ref’.

My grandparents, being the good God-fearing Beavers fans they are, would record games that earned the team their nickname: “Giant Killers.”

During the 2008 season, the Beavs obliterated the topranked team in all of college football.

And our family re-watched that recording like some families re-watch home videos of their first-born learning to walk.

I loved the opportunities I had to visit Oregon State University. I got to experience a college campus (and be extraordinarily overwhelmed by the many facets of it) and get a taste of the culture of a university.

I found myself at Oregon State University as a student.

Partly because it was familiar, partly because my family enjoyed it and partly because I loved Beavers football (which, for the record, is a terrible reason to choose a school). My roommates and I got tickets to the Civil War game and I pulled an all-nighter to watch “College GameDay” turn the OSU campus into a party celebrating college football and spotlight the matchup of Oregon State versus U of O. I made an archrival that day.

My front row seats behind the end zone put me right next to the University of Oregon’s mascot: Puddles (or “The Duck,” or “Donald Duck goes to College,” whichever you prefer). That duck harassed me something terrible. And I harassed him/her right back. S/ he drew a line in the turf and pointed directly at me – into my very soul – after the Ducks scored their first touchdown.

Thankfully, we ended on amicable terms and the exchange didn’t end in fisticuffs, but the Beavers still lost a Civil War at home.

Since 2007, my Beavers have been cursed to lose (even by the smallest margin) to their archrival, breaking a time-honored tradition of “home team wins” (save for the occasional hiccup in that formula).

As the 2016 Civil War drew to a close, the Beavers had finally secured their first victory over the Ducks in nearly a decade, and I was on my knees cheering and screaming with my family at the TV. It’s a good day to be a Beaver.

Cheers,

Jordan Wolfe Editor Tillamook Headlight-Herald

Local businesses: Quiet as a mouse

By Steven Haney For the Headlight-Herald I am writing in reference to your Nov. 9 Fencepost [column] from Sugar Brosius in Rockaway.

The [column] describes how hard it is to get even a return call from local home repair contractors. Her comments struck a similar chord with me. I am a new resident in your wonderful county. I have purchased a property and this is where I have always wanted to retire.

Options to recycle Good news! Now we can recycle locally in Wheeler, Nehalem, Rockaway, Garibaldi, Bay City, Beaver and Neskowin. It’s so easy! I showed up with a carload and was done in minutes. The bins are handy and well organized and volunteers help get things to the right places.

Recycling saves money on garbage bills and on purchases when goods are made from recycled materials. More important, it reduces toxins in our food and water and the air we breathe. Once you get in the habit of putting plastics, cans, etc. in separate bags or

box as you go, it really takes no extra time. And now the rest is easier than ever!

This localized program is a monthly pilot project through the next event, the third week of December. The more we participate, the more likely it will continue. Maybe someday, we can even get curbside recycling. For times, dates and other details, call 503-815-3975, or go to www. co.tillamook.or.us/gov/solidwaste, or look for “Community Recycle Trailer” flyers around town. And remember, Rockaway, Garibaldi and Bay City also have Recycle Shacks that take many items and are open daily. Same for City Sanitary Service in Tillamook.

Thanks to our Solid Waste Department for this great program!

Chamber Chatter: The beauty of partnerships

By Justin Aufdermauer Executive Director I hope everyone was able to enjoy their Thanksgiving holiday last week, and that somewhere amongst the festivities and food you found a moment to give thanks for the things in your life that help make it special. I know I did. I found myself thinking of not only my home life, but also my work life, and want to share how incredibly thankful I am for our community and the many partnerships that have blossomed for the Chamber.

It was humbling to see how many of our local restaurants and cafes stepped up to the plate to offer Thanksgiving dinners for those in need. Whether a meal by donation at the Schooner Restaurant and Lounge, or a free meal at the Dutch Mill Diner, or to-go turkey care packages from Muddy Waters, everywhere you look we are making an effort to take care of each other. Thank you to those who went the extra mile and opened their businesses and churches so that no one had to be alone on Thanksgiving.

The Chamber mission is to enhance tourism, business, and economic viability in the greater Tillamook area. We strive to be a resource and an advocate for our members, and we find our success relies on partnerships and relationships. The same immeasurable sense of community that fills bellies during the holidays keeps us running all year long - supporting and challenging us to fulfill our mission in new and greater ways.

Reflecting on all of this, I found myself thankful for the Chamber’s recent partnership with the Manzanita

Visitor’s Center and the Manzanita business community during the “Cash Mob” event earlier this month. They welcomed us with open arms and were appreciative of the energy and ideas we brought, and our partnership efforts really paid off. Customers turned out in droves; many Manzanita businesses had a huge day! I look forward to future opportunities in all of our coastal communities.

Small Business Saturday, this past weekend, is another testament to the power of partnership. Our team worked closely with the SBDC office planning the day, and together we built some great relationships with small businesses throughout the county, and drew many shoppers to multiple communities. We facilitated a series of activities in the downtown area of Tillamook that were a collaboration with many small business owners. It was so exciting to see shoppers shrugging off the weather to explore what stores have to offer, and early feedback seems to be that this was a record breaking Small Business Saturday for several of the businesses.

The Tillamook Revitalization Association was also a partner in this event (donating funding to help with the advertising), as was Art

Accelerated, a burgeoning non-profit who put together the Pop-up Art show many were able to enjoy.

Not all of our partnerships are as visible. We were recently invited to participate in the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency’s effort to revamp their application process. TURA is housed in Tillamook City Hall, and is essentially tasked with investing in the revitalization of the district.

They offer funding opportunities for certain types of projects within their district, and have included the Chamber in their process to weigh in on how to make their programs more approachable for potential applicants. We are excited to be invited to the table, and are optimistic in where the conversations are heading.

We also have a lot to look forward to. By the end of the year, the Chamber will be in our new location downtown. It’s been a great partnership with the Tillamook County Creamery Association to share their space and their visitors, and we know that our relocation is not the end of our relationship. They have reserved space for visitor information within the new facility, and made a generous financial contribution that was essential in securing the building that is currently Bells Office Supply. The owners of BOS, Scott and Mary were thrilled to sell their building and evolve their business, and the Chamber is equally thrilled to be returning to downtown Tillamook after a 30-plus year absence.

Thank you Tillamook for the opportunity to serve you.

n Column Continued from Page A5 The other (whom was also highly recommended by a Tillamook friend) never returned my call either. Due to my friends glowing reference I called and left a message again two weeks later. Mouse quiet! I called a third time after another two week wait and actually spoke to a live person (Yippee!)

He made an appointment to come the following Monday. He ended up being a no-call, no-show.

I was lucky with a third electrician though.

I needed some new flooring installed so I called six contractors.

No call-backs for about a week. Finally got return calls from two and they did come over and bid.

Editor’s note: This is the ninth story in a 12 month series featuring stories of Tillamook Bay Community College graduates, programs and partnership as the college celebrates its 35th year.

Since its inception in 1981, Tillamook Bay Community College has been striving to make education accessible for all Tillamook County citizens.

One way TBCC is reaching this goal is by offering dual credit classes in each of the three Tillamook County high school. Dual credit classes involve an agreement between the college and the high school where a high school instructor is approved to teach collegelevel classes.

“Dual credit classes, because they are accepted as college-level work, have to conform to our class requirements,” noted Connie Green, TBCC President.

Some of these requirements include the number of instructional hours, learning outcomes and the course content itself must be congruent to the college curriculum.

In the 2015/2016 academic year, TBCC approved dual credit classes for each of the school districts. Tillamook High School students enrolled in 16 dual credit courses; Nestucca Valley High School students enrolled in three dual credit courses; and Neah-Kah-Nie High School students enrolled in 25 dual credit courses.

And, last spring, all but 11 Tillamook High School

even give stuff away!

Thankfully, a group of Boy Scouts were happy to accept!

All this occurred before hunting season started, so no excuses there.

I just can’t understand why these local businesses spend money on advertising and then don’t follow through with at least a call! I would like to add that the following contractors responded and I am delighted with their results: Casey Winters Construction, Dan Kephart Flooring, Angus Electric, K&J Powerwash, Complete Home Maintenance.

I want to support my new local community businesses, but y’all sure make it tough. Hope I achieve my goal of the last business I support is Waud’s, if they will take me!

seniors graduated with some sort of career- or college- credit under their belt – a goal that TBCC and Tillamook School District were working towards since 2011.

“We put together a group of high school instructors, community members, and TBCC staff and asked ourselves, ‘what if every student who graduates in 2016 has taken at least one careeror college-level course,’” explained Green. “It was a lofty goal, but we were determined to make sure our high school graduates were equipped to take the next step in life.”

In order to make that happen, high school students have several options: they can enroll in dual credit courses; or they can take advantage of expanded options, which allows eligible students to take college classes on campus at TBCC. “We have really made a concerted effort and worked very, very closely with TBCC to provide more opportunities to our students to be college ready before they graduate,” noted Randy Schild, Tillamook School District Superintendent.

This year, Tillamook High School students enrolled in 49 career- or college-level courses and earned a total of 1,146 college credits by taking dual credit and expanded options courses. Students saved over $107,000 by earning college credits before graduating.

“That is money they no longer have to put away toward their education,”

said Green. “Families are saving tens of thousands of dollars just by taking advantage of these opportunities to earn college credit at no extra cost to them.”

Thelma Chavrin is a current TBCC student working on her Associate of Science Oregon Transfer Degree. She took advantage of dual credit courses her senior year of high school in order to save money on tuition costs.

“The classes I took prepared me for TBCC because I had a chance to get a little college experience not only with the coursework, homework, and studying but also getting to know my instructors,” she said. Chavrin added that dual credit opportunities gave her the confidence boost she needed to continue her education.

“We need our students to understand that they can be successful beyond high school, and if we can introduce them to those steps at the high school level then we don’t lose them after graduation,” noted Schild.

Together, Schild and Green said their ultimate goal is to reach every student who leaves high school and make sure they’re headed towards a college education.

“We feel like we’ve been successful with it and it will only get better,” said Schild.

For more information about dual credit options at your high school, contact your high school counselor.

Beverly A. Larson Beverly A. Larson passed away at her home in Salem on Friday, November 25, 2016 at the age of 75. She was born on May 16, 1941 in Tillamook, Oregon to David Adler and Mary Josephine (Tone) Brown, and was fifth of 14 children.

Beverly married Conrad D. Larson on July 21, 1962 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tillamook, and together they raised a family of five daughters.

Before she married, Bev worked at the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce, Elmer Olson, CPA and Mel Larson Realty. She also worked as legal secretary to attorney William McDonald in Portland, and was a caseworker with St. Vincent de Paul Society Food Bank in Salem. After Conrad’s

passing in 1989, Beverly worked at the Marion County Assessor’s Office as a senior clerk, from which she retired in 2001.

Beverly will be remembered as a vibrant, generous, and caring wife, mother, sister, and friend.

Her home always smelled of the cookies and banana bread that she made for friends and family, as well as for the plumber, the lawn care crew, gas station attendants, and the list goes on.

She loved tending her small rose and flower garden and visiting the library with her children and grandchildren.

For more than 40 years, her favorite activity was fitness walking, whether it be through the neighborhood with De Gander and other walking partners or as a participant in charity walks in Colorado and Oregon.

She opened her home to many people over the years, offering support, kindness and a sense of family to all.

She was actively involved with St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Parish in Salem and was a member of the Altar Society.

Beverly is survived by her five loving daughters: Julie Larson Bricher (Steve), McMinnville; Toni Larson, Salem; Nguyet Larson Ngo, Hickory, NC; Lisa Larson (Erin Morrissey), Portland; and Jodi Gillespie (Keith), Albany. She is also survived by eight grandchildren: Monique and Tyler Huynh, Ella, Claire and Gracie Conri Larson, and Zachary, Sean and Abigail Gillespie. Known lovingly as Little Annie Rooney by her family, she is also survived by seven siblings: Sandra K. Russell, David Brown, Michael Brown, Molly Kinyon, Timothy Brown, Mary-Alyce Coffman, and Jim Brown.

The funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, December 1 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tillamook. The rosary begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by 11:00 a.m. Mass. Interment will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Cemetery in Tillamook. Fr. Andrew Baumgartner, Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID, will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Beverly’s name may be made to the Make A Wish Foundation (oregon. wish.org) or Willamette Valley Hospice (www.wvh. org/donate).

n Robots Continued from Page A1 explained Kurt Mizée.

The farm’s first two robots went to work December, 2011. They later added a third robot.

The first two months proved challenging, said Bart Mizée. Initially, “Kurt was more familiar with the technology and I was familiar with the traditional animal care.

Once things smoothed out a little, I got more proficient in the technology stuff.”

An exciting new challenge was learning about each cow in a digital way.

Every cow has a transponder on her neck collar

n Lawsuit Continued from Page A1 equal value with environmental and social concerns,” said Josi. “Which eliminated additional harvest proceeds because these forests are mature.”

According to the lawsuit, the 15 Forest Trust Land counties have received about $35 million less per year since the 1998 change, and that constitutes a breach of the original contract, said DiLorenzo.

Bob Van Dyk has a different take on the matter.

He is the Wild Salmon Center’s Oregon and California policy director and part of the North Coast State Forest Coalition.

“State law says these forests should be managed to secure the greatest permanent value to the state,” Van Dyk said.

“This law specifically identifies multiple uses, such as providing for fish and wildlife, protecting drinking water, protection against floods and erosion, and allowing recreation, as well as timber sales. No hierarchy of uses is mandated.”

He added that the state responded to the new demands in the 1990s by developing detailed, and balanced, conservation plans.

“The Board of Forestry sought high harvest levels while also protecting salmon streams, restoring lands damaged by earlier timber practices, managing recreation and protecting critical wildlife habitat,” he said. “The result was a dramatic increase in harvest levels. Rather than causing economic devastation, the state forests became a reliable economic engine.”

But Josi said harvest levels are higher than they’ve ever been because the trees in question have matured to 70-plus years old.

“And now is the time to start benefiting from that… before the trees get too old,” he added. “Especially for these rural communities that have been really hurt all these

that digitally connects with the robot each time she’s milked. The robot then tells the main computer how much milk she produces, how many steps she takes in the day, how much she eats while being milked and other information.

They can also detect if a cow is getting sick long before she shows physical symptoms by knowing if she moves less and eats less during the day. This information, Kurt Mizée said, means they can better give preventative care to each cow.

“How could you know that you were going to know every cow again in the way that your grandfather used to?” asked Kurt Mizée. “The method of getting the information is

years.”

He also said scientific research, such as the Trask Paired Watershed Study, states the environment is not in danger because of the current logging industry.

“If I really thought what I was advocating for was destroying the environment, I wouldn’t do it,” he said. “The environmentalists work on fear.

They do this by selling fear. They’re no better than the NRA. They sell fear so that people buy dues and so they keep paying their wages.”

Van Dyk said the environmental interest he represents don’t qualify under Josi’s environmental marketing analysis.

“We’re not a member organization,” he noted.

“So we don’t have members to scare.”

However, the North Coast State Forest Coalition, which Van Dyk represents, is made up of core member organizations including the Wild Salmon Center, Oregon Chapter Sierra Club, Association of Northwest Steelheaders, Oregon Council Trout Unlimited, Pacific Rivers, Native Fish Society, and Northwest Guides and Anglers Association.

Van Dyk added that the Coalition doesn’t oppose timber harvesting, but would like to see measures put in place that are above the minimum requirements imposed on private lands.

“We are going to be requesting that all of the taxing districts opt out (of the class-action suit),” he said.

DiLorenzo said he doesn’t see that happening.

“Some environmental groups are urging (plaintiffs) to opt out to make a statement,” he said.

“That would be a useless gesture because this case is not going to change laws. If you opt out, you just forego the money. I anticipate almost everyone will stay in.”

DiLorenzo added he anticipates the case to go to trial in the latter part of 2017, or early 2018.

different, but it allows us to give each cow custom care.”

“I still think it was the right move for us to head this direction,” said Bart Mizée. “Pioneering it from a couple of different viewpoints has had its challenges.”

One of the greatest challenges the family discovered was finding knowledgeable staff to service the units and walk farmers through the first few weeks as they transition from a conventional milking parlor to a robotic one.

Kurt solved this issue last year by launching his own business, “Priority Robotics of Tillamook.” This new company focuses on the sales, installation and service Name: Lutes Advertising Width: 42p4.467 Depth: 17 in Color: Black Ad Number: 172103

of Lely Robotic Milking Systems. When Bart and Kurt launched their robotic dairy five years ago they said they didn’t feel locally supported, yet through perseverance were able to succeed and now flourish.

Two years ago, Kurt remarried. His wife, also named Wendy, brought two daughters to the family and is a partner in the new business.

“Without the robots, we’d all be fine,” Wendy Stevens-Mizée said. But having the robots has, “allowed him to be a dad.

He can take the kids to school. On Christmas, we have a fire and open presents and those robots make that happen.”

King Tide Project ready to surge again

Bay City Beekeeper hopes artistic bowls carve out new business direction

By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.net Alan Leach and bees have been synonymous for many years in Bay City.

That is changing.

The bees may be small, but the hives are just too heavy for the longtime Bay City resident to keep moving around.

Leach is looking to his skills with woodworking to take the place of being one of Tillamook County’s beekeepers.

He has lived in the county since 1970 and started keeping bees soon afterward. “I have been keeping honeybees since about 1976. It is something I have enjoyed for all those years,” he said recently when he took a momentary break during the two-day Holiday Bazaar at the county fairgrounds.

“This is going to be

my last year of keeping honeybees because I can’t carry the weight anymore,” Leach explained.

He is switching to another passion – one that may be slightly less physical.

“I also have developed the hobby of making artistic wooden bowls,” he said. He had an assortment of his wooden bowls on display next to his pint jars of honey during the bazaar.

Alan’s Unique Bowls is a project that he hopes will take off in customer interest and sales.

“It is something I enjoy doing in my shop. I use all kinds of different woods.

“It is kind of a unique thing that I have picked up. That is my main interest these days and probably will be as long as I can do it,” Leach said.

He also hosts meetings of the Tillamook County

Woodturners in his shop once a month. “We have a lot of good fun in the shop when we have those meetings,” he added.

He admitted that he has had a lot of fun selling his honey and his bowls at the local fairs and bazaars.

“This is a great venue,” he said about the recent Holiday Bazaar where he was one of more than 70 vendors in the building. “I love coming out here and this year there has been a lot of activity. I hope that everyone’s having a lot of success in selling their wares.

“There’s a lot of interesting things to see out here. I have had very good success here and I appreciate the people who operate this venue. They have done a very good job,” he said.

Leach can be contacted at 503-801-0352.

Alan Leach, Bay City beekeeper, is switching from a passion of bees and honey (one he has been doing since 1976) to one of artistic wooden bowls.

The time has arrived for volunteers to help trace the reach of the year’s highest tides.

For the seventh year, Oregonians will participate in the King Tide Project, the state’s branch of an international citizen science initiative. The project is sponsored in Oregon by the CoastWatch program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, the Coastal Management Program of the Department of Land Conservation and Development, and the Surfrider Foundation.

Through the King Tide Project, volunteer photographers document the highest tides of the year, showing the intersection of the ocean with both human-built infrastructure (roads, seawalls, trails, bridges) and na stural features such as cliffs and wetlands. Anyone capable of wielding a camera can participate.

The three extreme tidal series participants will be photographing this winter began with a series taking place Nov. 14-16. The other two rounds are Dec. 12-15, and Jan. 10-13. Such high tides are known in Australia, where the project originated, as “King Tides.”

Information on how to participate and post photos can be found on the project’s website, www.oregonkingtides.net.

Documenting the highest annual reach of the tides tells us something about areas of the natural and built environments which are subject to erosion and flooding now.

It tells us even more about what to expect as sea level rises. Photographs of any tidally affected area—outer shores, estuary, or lower river—are relevant. The ideal would be to document the high-tide point everywhere on the coast. However, photos of spots where the extreme tidal reach is particularly apparent, inun-

Officials seek input on Botts Marsh wetland purchase

By Ann Powers editor@northcoastcitizen.com Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) officials scheduled a 3 p.m. public hearing at Wheeler City Hall, Monday, seeking community input on a grant application to help fund a proposed Botts Marsh wetland acquisition.

The Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) is interested in purchasing the 33-acre parcel to protect it as a natural area in perpetuity.

“As with every grant application, we have a facilitated discussion to go over things the community likes and any concerns it may have about the proposal,” said Eric Williams, OWEB grant program manager.

OWEB officials said they review four key factors when making grant determinations: • Project soundness in terms of title issues; • Verifying the ecological values justify OWEB’s investment; • Weighing the project’s community benefits and impact, and; • Capacity of the organization applying for the grant to ensure it can carry out the transaction and maintain the property’s ecological values indefinitely.

“It’s a forever thing,” Williams explained, likening a grant award to a long-term relationship.

“That’s why we make sure the ‘pre-nuptial’ is in order.”

And LNCT representatives said they’re ready for commitment.

“Development proposals over the last three decades have been disputed and the land ownership has changed over that time,” LNCT Board Member Nancy Chase said. “Conservation ownership will allow this longstanding controversy to be put to rest and help meet the new vision for Wheeler.”

The parcel is dominantly estuarine salt marsh, tidal channel with about 1,500 lineal feet of frontage on Nehalem Bay. It is currently zoned Estuary Development for waterdependent development and Water Related Commercial.

The wetland currently lies within an urban growth boundary, which means it can be annexed into city limits, if needed, to accommodate future growth needs.

“In the past there’s been conversations about developing it into a marina,” said Miriam Hulst, OWEB acquisitions coordinator.

“There is that chance just by way of its zoning.”

So far, many local stakeholders favor LNCT’s proposed purchase.

Wheeler Citizens for Responsible Development (CRD) recently launched an email campaign calling for support of the purchase in order to protect it as a natural area.

“In our analysis, an acquisition of this land by

LNCT would be the best and highest use for this land,” Wheeler CRD’s Ralph Thomas said. “We encourage everyone to send an email to Wheeler City Manager Geoff Wullschlager in support of LNCT”s acquisition of Botts Marsh with a copy to Nancy Chase, LCNT Board Member.”

Wullschlager said he’s received dozens of emails backing the purchase. A Nov. 15 informational meeting on the proposal drew high attendance for

the small coastal community with a population of approximately 400 residents.

“We had about 18 people show up, which is pretty good for us,” Wullschlager noted. “It was a good discourse and it really bolstered what (LNCT) is trying to do.”

The wetland’s purchase price is subject to appraisal. LNCT has applied for the OWEB grant to cover 75 percent of the acquisition costs.

If the grant is success-

ful, LNCT must raise funds for the remainder of the purchase price, due diligence, a baseline and management plan and stewardship.

Hulst added OWEB has successfully worked with

LNCT on previous grant awards including: • A $50,000 Alder Creek Farm grant in 2005; • A $919,036 Cedar Creek grant in 2009 and 2010, and; • A $721,600 Sitka Wet-

lands grant in 2011.

“The Trust has done a good job at taking care of the properties,” Hulst said.

OWEB is expected to make its grant determination on the Botts Marsh wetland in April.

3,300 acre acquisition advances at Oswald West State Park The North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) is moving toward the acquisition of approximately 3,300 acres of timberland between Arch Cape and Manzanita marking the single largest conservation initiative in the conservancy’s history, according to officials.

Moreover, NCLC reports that the five-year purchase agreement with Onion Peak Holdings is on track to becoming the biggest private acquisition of land for conservation in western Oregon.

The property is in the heart of what NCLC characterizes as the ‘Coastal Edge,’ an area between Tillamook Head and Nehalem Bay where mountain peaks abruptly rise 3,000 feet within one mile of the shoreline. The conservancy’s goal is to transition the property to long-term, local, conservation-oriented ownership and management.

Officials said it will be

Onion Peak complex at the heart of proposed NCLC acquisition. According to officials, the area will be the first place in Oregon, and one of few places in the world, where an entire coastal watershed is permanently conserved, from the headwaters to the ocean. the first place in Oregon, and one of few places in the world, where an entire coastal watershed is permanently conserved, from the headwaters to the ocean.

Together with Oswald West State Park and Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, this acquisition will create

a contiguous conservation corridor of more than 29 square miles linking land and sea.

“For nearly a decade, NCLC has been envisioning this monumental act of conservation,” said NCLC Executive Director Katie Voelke. “This agreement

is the first on-the-ground step in making this vision a reality. Now the fun begins: working with the whole community on a program that will conserve this special land, water and wildlife for all time to come.”

Samuel Boardman,

Oregon’s first state park superintendent, originally envisioned the property as an extension of Oswald West and Nehalem Bay state parks, which he created in the 1930s. He hoped that, altogether, it would become “one of the outstanding natural parks

in the nation,” stretching from the ocean shore to the tops of the adjacent coastal-fronting mountains.

Officials said an agreement with Onion Peak Holdings to acquire the property puts NCLC in a position to advance Sam Boardman’s vision. The Conservancy is seeking funds from public agencies and private donations to enable this acquisition.

In the interim period, Ecotrust Forest Management (EFM), will manage the property on behalf of Onion Peak Holdings.

EFM facilitated the acquisition of a larger holding of about 5,000 acres from Stimson Lumber Company, which had owned the property since 2004. Stimson will reinvest the funds raised from the sale in other timberlands.

“We are grateful to Stimson Lumber for this opportunity and look forward to stewarding this unique property,” said EFM CEO Bettina von Hagen.

Schooner Restaurant serves up a Thanksgiving feast; brings in thousands for local Food Bank The Schooner Restaurant may have cruised to high tide when it comes to raising money for the Oregon Food Bank – Tillamook County Services with its benefit dinner on Thanksgiving.

According to the restaurant’s Facebook site, preliminary results have the dinner raising more than $18,000 for the food bank. The Schooner is still hoping to find additional donations and corporate donors to help it clear $20,000.

The Thanksgiving meal was provided for donation only, with some, in the past, paying for additional dinners when people could not afford the meal.

According to manager Lexie Fields, the event was successful again, handling more than 400 meals and utilizing more than 40 volunteers in shifts at the restaurant on Netarts Bay. “I am so proud of the community and so thankful that the Creamery has stepped up to the plate – and raised the bar,” said Tom Flood, the owner of The Schooner.

“It was tremendous,” he said, noting the response by the community. “Our turnout was really good.

In fact, it was so good that I was nervous that I was going to run out of food.

“We actually posted on Facebook earlier that if anybody had any turkey to donate that I would

take it,” Flood said.

“As it turned out, I bought 10 more turkeys at Safeway and we ended up having enough. We did run out of green bean casserole, but we didn’t run out of anything else,” he said.

One thing Flood said he wanted to do more of is to have people leave with extra food. “So, I am vowing next year to have enough food for everybody to have leftovers.”

Flood is looking to find a new venue to handle the increase in people. “At 11 a.m., we were three-quarters full and from noon to 5, we were a full house 100 percent of the time,” he said. “We have been at capacity for the last two years.”

That has prompted the owner to look at expanding to include the Netarts Fire Hall, if possible. “I’m kicking around the idea of talking to the fire chief to see if I can get their hall on Thanksgiving. If I’m feeling like I am going to be overwhelmed (at The Schooner) then I’ll look at doing that as well next year.”

But the Schooner wasn’t the only restaurant involved in a holiday meal with spirit.

Dutch Mill restaurant Approximately 75 free meals were served to residents at the Dutch Mill restaurant in downtown Tillamook on Thanksgiving, according to owner Terry Phillips.

It was the first year the

restaurant had done the free meal program and Phillips said he wants to continue it in the future.

“We were happy with the volunteers and the turnout. The weather obviously played a role in the turnout of the people.

But we felt good about it.”

Phillips said the Dutch Mill had taken an existing program, created by a local church. “We kind of just took it from him, but he is still involved.

We just moved it from his church to here. He has got a feel for what happened and we have talked about where we want to go with it next year.

“We want to make it a little bit different, maybe catering to shut-ins and delivering meals,” said Phillips. “Maybe handling people who don’t go out period or the shut-in population who can’t get out period because of transportation. We could make sure we are taking care of those people and maybe even providing transportation, if necessary.”

That is an idea Phillips credited volunteer Dean Burdick from the Tillamook County Sheriffs Office with suggesting.

“We are going to plan it next year with a few more resources at our disposal and see if we can make this even a bigger deal,” said Phillips.

The restaurateur praised Terry Sprenkel, the pastor at Tillamook Christian Center for starting the program and getting the volunteers.

Native wreath creation is 10-year tradition

Headlight-Herald photo/ Brad Mosher

Luke Wahl of the Tillamook Forest Center watches as participants in his wreath making class on Sunday work to construct Christmas decorations. The class was the final public event of the year for the center, which reopens again in 2017.

Through fiverr.com, Schubert Moore found a commercial artist from Denmark to illustrate his new children’s book “The Monster Chasers.”

n Monster Continued from Page A1 row, they’ll meet the Great Ghost, Silent Sam. “This is the story of a girl who, through her confrontation, learns as much about herself as she does about the strange Silent Sam, a tale for our time,” said Moore.

The book was published via the so-called ‘gig’ economy.

“Another amazing development made possible by the digital economy and the internet,” said Moore.

Through one of many gig websites, the one Moore used was fiverr. com. The website allowed a 75-year-old author, in the northwest corner of the U.S., to hire Angelica Inigo Jasperson, a commercial artist in Denmark, to illustrate his story.

Moore said he took a look at her headshot and had no idea how old Angelica was, not that it mattered. “Actually I have

Schubert Moore no idea how old she is,” he added. “Judging by per picture, she’s eleven.

Although, everyone looks eleven to me.”

Moore went to fiverr. com and put the job out for bid. Jasperson answered and sent a sketch.

“It was as if she’d read my mind,” said Moore.

“She created sixteen stunning pastel watercolor prints to illustrate the action, making the largeformat book an artwork as well as a compelling story for kids from three to 99.”

The profits of the sale price of $9.95 go to feed

residents of Tillamook County through the Backpack Program and South County Good Neighbors through the end of the year, according to Moore.

Moore will be reading and signing his new children’s book, “The Monster Chasers,” from 2-4 p.m. at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery in Cloverdale with refreshments. Another reading will occur from 11 a.m. to noon on Dec. 10 at the Tillamook South County Winkleman Library.

By request, Moore has asked the paparazzi try to restrain themselves.

Notes-from-the-Coast author note: Schubert Moore is a published author of short stories, novels and poetry, Schubert wrote the Fencepost for the Headlight-Herald and whined and complained until he was given his own column, ‘Notes from the Coast.’ He wrote the column weekly for four years supported by slightly disturbed fans.

The Tillamook Forest Center closed out its 2016 schedule Sunday with its final wreath making class.

It was the last of three post-Thanksgiving classes focusing on building Christmas decorations with some of the natural elements that can be found around people, their homes and workplaces.

According to Luke Wahl, who was teaching the final class, approximately 75 people came to the center to create the wreaths and also some pinecone bird feeders over the Thanksgiving weekend.

“This is something we have been doing for 10 years. Some people have been coming out for year after year.

“We are making wreaths out of plants that we find in the forest. We have a number of really cool native plants in our forest that can be used to make wreaths,” he said.

The children attending the class also had the opportunity to make bird feeders out of pinecones, using Crisco and seeds.

“We’re having a really fantastic time here at the Tillamook Forest Center,” Wahl added.

Although slightly less than 20 people showed up for the class, Wahl said it was a good turnout, with several people joining

In addition, some of the people who have been to the classes before come prepared, he said, noting that some bring gloves to avoid getting smeared by sap.

“We are just going to keep on doing it,” he added. “It is kind of a end-of-the-year thing that allows us to get our message out.

“It is pretty neat and another way to connect with people,” Wahl said.

In addition, the center has an email list to let people know what is on the schedule at the center.

Although the total for the three days of classes was about the same as previous year, Wahl admitted the constant rain in the area might have also affected the attendance. “I know there is also a lot of other places doing wreath making this time of year as well,” he added.

One of the things that has been a constant every year has been shooting pictures after the classes with people holding up their wreaths and other projects for pictures in front of a hearth with a fireplace.

That has been another way to measure time.

Tillamook’s Solace Bergeron (center) and Linnaea Kavulich of Scappoose (right) chase race leader Celie Mans (left) in the second mile of the recent 4A title race at Lane Community College in Eugene. The pair of runners from the Cowapa League were chasing Mans again in the recent Border Clash competition between Oregon and Washington schools.

Washington tops Oregon in annual Border Clash Tillamook sent its girls team to the annual Border Clash race between high school runners from Washington and Oregon Nov. 20, but it was the Beaver State’s northern neighbor who picked off the win – again.

Washington beat Oregon in the overall girls race by a 19-37 score, with two Evergreen State runners taking the top spots.

Washington put four finishers in the top five to dominate the results.

In the regular team scoring where runners were identified not by their schools, but by a club name, it was Southwest Portland XC (cross country) club taking first with 54 points, beating out Cedar Mill XC (77 points) and Central Oregon XC (104 points).

Tillamook XC was 10th with 208 points.

Freshman Solace Bergerson again led the Lady Mooks, placing 62nd overall with a time of 20 minutes and 6 seconds for the course at Nike corporate headquarters in Beaverton.

She beat Cowapa League rival Linnaea Kavulich by eight seconds. Kavulich, from Scappoose, was running unattached after placing third in the recent 4A title race in Eugene.

Celie Mans of Siuslaw, who won the 4A individual title, placed 41st in the race with a time of 19:37.

Kara Putman came in 67th, with a time of 20:43,

while freshman Whitney Averill (84th, 22:00), junior Phoebe Brown (85th, 22:06) and freshman Allison Wilkes (88th, 22:39) followed.

Jordan Oakes of North Seattle XC (and Holy Names Academy in Seattle) won the race in 17:53, edging unattached Erinn Mullins of Cascade-Leavenworth in Washington by just one second.

The Oregon 6A champion, sophomore Ember Stratton of Sunset, was the only Oregon runner to break into the top five, placing third in 18:03.

Washington boys win The Evergreen State picked up an easy 19-38 win over Oregon in the Border Clash.

Andy Monroe, the Oregon 5A individual champion from Crater-Central Point, was the top team finisher in the boys race with a time of 15:32.

However, that was only good enough for fourth overall.

Washington runners took the top three places and closed out their scoring with five in the top seven runners to claim the state vs. state title easily.

Monroe’s Central Point teammates were able to claim the club title with 47 points.

North Spokane XC scored 67 points for second, followed by Tacoma XC (69) and Yakima XC (116).

Scappoose’s John Kavulich finished 49th in 16:51.

Pirates’ Gienger takes the helm as ‘captain’ After five years as an assistant coach at Neah-KahNie, Tim Gienger will move into the captain’s chair when the Pirates open the boys basketball season Nov. 30 at the Astoria jamboree.

Then, the Pirates come home.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

HURRY! YOU MUST ACT BY DECEMBER 31, 2016 TO GET YOUR DEDUCTION FOR THE 2016 TAX YEAR. Q: WHAT IS IRS SECTION 179?

HOW CAN IT HELP MY BOTTOM LINE? A: Section 179 is the current IRS tax code that allows you to buy qualifying Ford vehicles and deduct up to the full purchase price (including any amount financed) from your gross taxable income if purchased before December 31, 2016. That means that if you buy a piece of qualifying equipment and products, you may be able to write off up to the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross taxable income this year!

6,000 lbs. and a bed length of at least six feet (i.e., Ford F-150/F-250/F-350) qualify for the maximum first-year depreciation deduction of up to the FULL PURCHASE PRICE. SUVs, including trucks, with a bed length of less than six feet and a GVWR greater than 6,000 lbs. (i.e., Ford F-150 SuperCrew 5½ ft. bed, Explorer, Expedition) qualify for a maximum firstyear depreciation deduction of up to the first $25,000 of the full purchase price plus 60% depreciation of any remaining balance.

Q: DOES THE DATE OF MY PURCHASE HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE SECTION 179 DEDUCTION? A: Yes. To qualify for the Section 179 tax deduction for the 2016 tax year, your Ford vehicle must be purchased or leased and placed into service by December 31, 2016.

Q: WHAT ABOUT SMALLER TRUCKS/ VANS/SUVS? A: Vehicles of less than 6,000 lbs.

GVWR (built on a truck chassis), such as the Transit Connect, may still qualify under current bonus depreciation for up to $11,560 per vehicle in the first year.

Passenger automobiles under 6,000 lbs.

GVWR also may qualify for up to $11,160 in depreciation.

Q: WHICH VEHICLES QUALIFY FOR THE GREATEST IRS TAX SAVINGS? A: Trucks with a GVWR greater than

Neah-Kah-Nie wrestlers have strong core, want more

Neah-Kah-Nie coach Greg Kelly has 20 wrestlers out for his team.

He wants more.

According to Kelly, the key to doing well at the district meets is having a large number of wrestlers hitting the mat.

He already has nearly a dozen freshmen out for the team and one girl.

But the big horses that will be pulling his league, district and state hopes are a pair of grapplers who placed third in the state last season, along with a state qualifier and one wrestler who finished his season as an alternate to move on from the district championships.

Sophomore Tristan Bennett and senior Anthony Ramirez picked up the bronze at state last spring.

Senior Omar Arenas also qualified for state in the 132 pound weight class.

Sophomore Travis Jonsson was second at the district, making him an alternate to the winner in the heavyweight class.

“We have four seniors, one junior, three sophomores and, right now, 11 freshmen,” Kelly said. “We have good numbers for us. They are up from last year, but we are still wanting more kids to come out. The more we get, the more chance we have to compete for the district title.”

According to the coach, the team is led by his key group of returnees.

“It is pretty awesome to have two guys back (Bennett and Ramirez) in the room to lead the team with that experience.

“Arena is coming back from the state tournament as well and we are expecting big things,” the coach said Monday. “We are looking for him to step up and improve.”

Among the sophomores on the team, Bennett is not the only one Kelly sees as playing a big role. “Josh Longfellow will be a middleweight and Travis – two guys who placed well for us in the districts last year are coming back.

“We have another senior, Dylan Dunlap, an upper middleweight type guy, we are looking for big things out of him. We are expecting a great year out of him,” Kelley said.

“We have a lot of freshmen out here and that is awesome.

The future looks bright.

“There is a lot of young talent there that as they progress in their careers, they are going to have really good careers here,” the coach said.

The team will open its season Dec. 2 when they travel to Tillamook for the Tillamook Country Smoker Invitational.

The team’s only home contest will be Feb. 1 when they host the All-League competition.

The next closest will be a Jan. 20 trip to Cloverdale to face Nestucca.

proving. “We are just trying to continue the good work that we started when (former basketball coach) Steve Sherren started.

“We have got a couple of good players in Max Halverson and Johnny May, leading our seniors,” the new coach said.

The team has eight seniors, giving Gienger a strong core of experience to work with this season.

“We have a couple of juniors and a sophomore playing varsity,” he added.

The Northwest League is a tough group to break through on, according to Gienger.

However, the team’s goal will be to make it into the top cluster of schools.

“We are hoping to finish somewhere in the upper half,” he said, noting the fact that the league produced the state 2A champion last season.

“We are going to have to work pretty hard for it.

Lady Pirates face youth challenge There is going to be a new look for the Lady Pirates this year when it comes to the basketball court.

Graduation hit the team hard, but it will provide a lot of opportunities for players to step up their game, according to coach Corey Douma.

“Last year, we had a good year and had a lot of fun,” the coach said Tuesday.

“This year, it is going to be a whole new team. We’re going to be young. We’ll have four seniors returning. They haven’t had lots of varsity experience but they’re going to get it.”

But on the upside, it will mean that the team will be getting a lot of varsity experience early in the season, according to the coach.

The team will start on the road with a trip to Astoria Dec. 1 to compete in the Astoria jamboree against a pair of 4A schools – Astoria and Corbett. The Lady Pirates will follow that

with a trip Dec. 6 to Waldport.

The first time the Pirates will have a home crowd is when they host Warrenton Dec. 9.

The team will host Northwest League play against Delphian (Dec. 13) and City Christian (Dec. 15).

“There are going to be some young kids thrown to the wolves, but they will learn the varsity game one way or the other. It is an opportunity for the kids to get a lot of playing time.”

The team will get a chance to play against league rival Knappa in the jamboree. “That will be a good measuring stick for us to see how we match up against them.”

The Pirates face their first three league foes in one week.

Although he hasn’t finished his varsity lineup, Douma said there will be four or five seniors, two juniors and the rest will be sophomores.

Headlight Herald reader ‘Photo of the Week’

Courtesy photo

A portion of the “Dear Santa” cast gather around a table for rehearsal, joined by Director Ann Harper. The show, TAPA’s newest, opens 7 p.m. Friday with a gala.

‘Dear Santa’ opens Friday at TAPA C

omposed of a number of short scenes, “Dear Santa” ranges from the hilarious to touching.

Written by Rob Frankel, and directed by Ann Harper, this production views Santa from various viewpoints – from a child who alphabetizes her Christmas list and sends it out in August, to children at various stages of belief... and disbelief! Santa and his helpers shed light on many of the mysteries surrounding him, including why you don’t always get the gift you ask for, how Santa

delivers all those gifts in one night, how he finds children spending Christmas away from home, and how his power transcends the boundaries of race, gender and religion. Of course, sometimes being Santa isn’t all that great - your helpers fight over which one is best and occasionally you get arrested for shoplifting by those of little faith. But in the end, it is the faith of the many that sustains Santa.

“Dear Santa” opens Friday and runs through Dec. 17. Friday and Saturday

performances begin at 7 p.m., while Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour prior to curtain.

Tickets for this production are on sale now. As always, reserved seating is available through Diamond Art Jewelers located at 307 Main Street in Tillamook, call (503) 842-7940 for reservations. Tickets are $15 per person and children age 12 and under are $10. For more information, email info@tillamooktheater.com or find us on Facebook.

Join us for an Opening

Night Gala celebration on Friday, where every ticket purchase includes complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a beverage of choice.

Celebrating over 35 years in Tillamook, TAPA is a non-profit community theater dedicated to providing high quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education, and community participation. TAPA’s Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy St, on the corner of 12th and Ivy, one block west of Hwy 101 in Tillamook.

Local congressman reveals ‘inside’ story of beach and bottle bills

By Jordan Wolfe jwolfe@countrymedia.net

T

he author of Oregon’s landmark bottle bill has authored a book recounting the “inside story” of both the beach and bottle bill.

Paul A. Hanneman, south Tillamook County resident and member of the Oregon House of Representatives from 1964 to 1991, is credited as the author of the landmark legislation that imposed a five-cent deposit on bottles and is hosting a signing of his new book “The Inside Story: Oregon’s Beach and Bottle Bills” from 12:30 – 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Pacific Coast Bible Church in Pacific City.

“It started in 1968, on the street corner in Pacific City, when we no-

ticed all the empties that everyone had thrown away,” said Hanneman during an interview at Nestucca Valley Middle School. “Then we looked at the beaches and they were covered with beer and pop cans and bottles, lots of them were broken, and so we introduced a bill in 1969.”

According to Hanneman, the bill lost on the House floor.

When it was reintroduced during the 1971 session, with the support of Gov. Tom McCall, it passed.

“Think about how much we’ve saved with our recovery and reuse of finite natural resources in Oregon,” wrote Hanneman. “It’s time to renew our efforts stateby-state.”

How to stop the throatslitting and ambushes hen I was but a sprout in 1952, my Mom, a card-carrying Democrat, swore that, “If Eisenhower is elected we’ll all be out on the street selling apples.” I believed her and was worried that I’d have to stand out in the rain and get wet and cold selling those apples. And could we sell enough of them if everyone else was out there selling them, too? Well, Eisenhower was elected and still we didn’t have to be on the street in the rain.

Times have changed and now, when one political tribe loses, the only certainty is that the world is coming to an end. There is lots of blame to go around:

Michael Randall merslife@gmail.com

prevaricating politicians, weak candidates, biased cable TV networks, the fake “news stories” picked up as “truth” by the mainstream media. Last and not least we must include the dozing tens of millions of us who don’t want our elected leaders to compromise, or hear any new facts that

would challenge our angry, baloney-based beliefs.

When it comes to ciphering out the truth about anything important, as author Natalia Ginzberg said long ago, “We are like insects and only know about the one leaf from which we hang.” And we really don’t want learn about the other insects or their leaves, especially those insects who look or act differently than us.

Right now, the left is outraged at Donald Trump’s ascendance to the office of President, and its younger disciples have been out on the streets. Of course, if Hillary had won Trump’s disciples would have been

in the streets as well. We’ve come a long way toward barbarism.

As a young man just out of the Marines, I lived in Manila for a time and attended the University of Philippines. It was 1965 and President Macapagal was running for reelection against Ferdinand Marcos (who won the election and later declared himself ‘President for Life”). Many times that year the American Embassy warned us Americans to stay at home because of violence the two opposing campaigns unleashed against each other: gunfights at public

On Saturday, the Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Center Board of Directors, along with CEO and founder Alan Evans and Sen. Betsy Johnson, will be hosting a “Year in Review Celebration.”

“We have some gigantic things happening,” said Evans. “And we can’t wait to tell everybody about it.

We’ve had some major accomplishments since opening our doors in Tillamook both here locally and for our organization as a whole.”

The catered event will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Officers Mess Hall at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Guests will have an opportunity from 11 a.m. to noon to tour the Helping Hands Emergency Relief Shelter, which is housed inside the former Naval Command Center.

Beginning at noon, Evans will be sharing the organization’s plans to remodel the second floor of the Naval Command Center, which will house 18 single-family units once completed. He will also share informa-

tion regarding a brand new vocational training program that will launch early next year.

“We’re working with local businesses to bring training and job opportunities directly to our front door steps and it’s going to be rockin’,” he added.

Sen. Johnson and State Representative Deborah Boone will also be present on Saturday to share information about homeless issues around the state of Oregon.

“This is also an opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteers,” Evans said. “I could not possibly thank everyone who has been involved in this endeavor of bringing our program to Tillamook County, but I hope everyone who has had a piece in this will want to come and see the amazing work we’ve done.”

ope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving Day with family or friends and food to share. Thanksgiving Day this year for me was in Gresham with family – kids, grandkids and great-grandkids; just what I like a holiday to be. I take the transportation bus to Portland Greyhound Station and my son Steve picks me up there.

Tillamook’s Habitat for Humanity will host

Beach Library sharing this festive program. This is a must for any child embracing the holiday season, and would actually be fun for kids of all ages up to 102 years. Contact the library at 503-355-2665 for more info. (While there, talk to them about becoming a member!)

Mikki Gruber hosts a wreath making at her

house at 9265 Mill Creek Road in Tillamook on Dec. 7. Bring only a small amount of greenery to use on your wreath, as there will be extra for use there. Also the decorations you want for your wreath and foam oasis if you are using. This is a potluck at 11:30 a.m. This is the only December gettogether for the Nea-Rock Garden Club. Next time is at Nancy and Lynn Reddekopp’s house Jan.

Traffic seems heavier than usual due to blocked streets and one-way roads. Lanes marked but different than what I am used to. I avoid First Street and Highway 101 as much as possible.

Work on Pacific Avenue and work on Main Street also a challenge to traffic.

At the Post Office, the parking lot is mostly full due to no parking out on First Street. And there is no drop-box for mail anymore on First Street.

I used to use that a lot.

There is a drop-box for mail at Fred Meyer and one at Roby’s. I hope there will be a closer one to downtown Tillamook, in the future.

a brunch fundraiser and a tour of the next Habitat House this Sunday.

Let’s save the date for Community Arts Project’s annual fundraiser which happens from noon through 9:30 p.m. on Feb 11 at Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City. While it’s still advertised as a “celebration of chocolate, wine and art,” the much loved event

has been renamed “Your Art’s Desire,” to as CAP Board Member Debra Wisniewski put it, “put the focus on the art.” I will be creating pieces for the show on coming rainy winter nights.

Happy birthday this week to: Patrick Benton, Tara Boldy, Zoey Carver, Islande Dillon, Kyleigh Eckhardt, Mark Fitch, Brook Fleming, Karl Hale, Jeff Hancock, Justin Hancock, Kent Hancock, Donna Hopkes, Arial Huddleston, Jeff Hurliman, Melissa Jones, Nancy Love, Amber Pratt, Tony Riske, Jeremy Sisco, Kael Stuart and Nick Troxel.

The Rockaway Beach Volunteer Fire Department would love some new or gently used small stuffed animals. The best are the small Beanie Baby sized

ones as they are a better fit to store on the fire trucks.

They use them for Santa to hand out on the “Santa at the Station,” which is 6 – 8 p.m. on Dec. 10. Anyone with donations can bring them to City Hall during regular business hours.

After Christmas, you can dance into 2017 with the Lincoln Pops Orchestra! You can celebrate your New Years Eve listening and dancing to Big Band Music. It begins Dec. 31 from 8:30 p.m. to midnight.

My friend and past resident of Rockaway Beach recently called me updating me with stories of Rockaway past. As we finished our conversation she shared a quote that she often tells her friends and family. “Enjoy something out of every day.” I love you Alberta. Thank you.

“Your Art’s Desire: A Celebration of Chocolate, Wine and Art” will take place again in February to benefit Community Arts Project’s Art Literacy program in Tillamook County schools.

It will be held Feb. 11, at the Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City.

The art preview and silent auction will be from noon to 4 p.m., with no admission charge. From 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the Chocolate, Wine and Art Celebration happens, tickets are required.

Complementary wine, beer, sparkling cider, appetizers, and desserts will be served.

Art sale, silent auction, student art, raffle and live music complete the evening

festivities. Artists will depict artists’ reflection on the theme of “Passion” on sixinch-by-six-inch panels that will sell for $75. All proceeds from the sale of the panels will support Community Arts Project Art Literacy program.

Artists will also sell studio art with 50 percent or 100 percent donated to Community Arts Project.

Currently, Art Literacy programs are held at Nestucca Valley Elementary School in Cloverdale and Garibaldi Grade School.

Each month, an age-appropriate 90-minute art education session is conducted in each classroom focusing on a famous artist or art movement. The lesson includes art history, technique, and aesthetic analysis, as well as an opportunity for each student to create their own artwork

in the style of the artist or art movement presented.

More than 450 students are taught every month. The program is privately funded and sponsored by Community Arts Project, which also presents the children’s summer art program “Slug Soup.”

Funding relies on special events, grants, and the generous donations of local individuals and businesses.

Community Arts Project is especially grateful at this time to the many local businesses that are sponsoring the event.

The public is invited and welcome to join in this celebration. Tickets to the evening event are $30 advance, $35 at the door. For information or to purchase tickets, contact 503-550-9655 or secure online purchase at communityartsproject.net.

From the ranters and demagogues we encounter on the internet and cable TV news, we have allowed ourselves to be ratcheted more and more tightly into a narrow band of political beliefs, held in ever smaller cells of thought where less and less light gets in. We don’t even notice this anymore because the mental prisons into which we have locked ourselves now seem normal.

Political dramas and conflicts light up our lives. We love them, especially after a couple of drinks. We thrive on arguments and competition, and these traits possibly will lead us further and further into the dark.

So, what to do?

We need to become skeptics, knowing that from our birth to our death all we ever hear are just opinions.

And is it really true that the other side never has a good idea, but only bad (even evil) ideas?

Also, we should lift our

dripping faces from the digital barrel of Kool-Aid and televised rat poison we’ve been gulping, and take a look around. Are we only knuckle-draggers, elitists, racists, welfare moochers, bleeding hearts and fascists to each other? Do we really want to continue our political road rage? Sophisticated tools have been used against us, sometimes purposely to manipulate us, sometimes just accidentally in the nature of the technology we use and misuse.

Each of us knows, however reluctantly and distrustfully, someone who voted for “Crooked Hillary” or “Racist-Misogynist Trump.”

Go invite them to coffee, and do it more than once. Look in their eyes and listen; there’s a human in there somewhere.

Then, later, take a look in the mirror. Maybe we can learn to respect each other, maybe even stop the throat-slitting and ambushes before they go much further.

Continued from Page B1 gatherings, killings by various corrupt police factions, machine gun ambushes in the rural areas, and so on.

Are the same activities in store for the good old USA? It’s not hard to see how our own animal spirits could descend to that same murderous level. After all, no matter what some of us think about how “exceptional” America is, we are just people who give ourselves way too much credit for clear thinking and generosity.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt recently noted in an internet TED talk (Nov. 12, 2016) that the internet is an excellent tool for “demonization.” He points out that, first of all, we all are tribal beings, and thus susceptible to messages that stir our tribal loyalties and fears.

Sweet Lolli!

Lollipop, or Lolli for short, is a beautiful dilute calico. She showed up as a stray to her foster home but we believe she used to be someone’s pet at one time. We don’t know how long she was on her own before finding someone to care for her. Lolli is estimated to be around 10 years old and has some neuropathy in her back legs. She gets around fine on the ground but isn’t jumping as well as she probably used to in the past. Lolli will need to be an indoor only cat. She is one of the friendliest and sweetest cats around!
