A chapel built from inmates’ hands

ARREST IN ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY

Community donates $35K, inmates provide the labor for new prison chapel

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

An arrest has been made in the Nov. 16th attempted robbery at Wells Fargo Bank in Tillamook.

Oregon State Police, DARRIN BOBBITT Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and Tillamook City Police Department located and apprehended Darrin J. Bobbitt at about 10 p.m. Nov. 28 in Tillamook. He has been charged with attempted robbery in the second degree and arrested for a parole violation/ fugitive warrant out of the California Department of Corrections. He is in custody at the Tillamook County Jail; his next court appearance is Dec. 7.

Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright said Bobbitt has an extensive criminal history, though his prior convictions do not include robbery.

The South Fork Forest Camp (SFFC), the minimum security correctional facility on Hwy. 6, 28 miles east of Tillamook, celebrated an historic occasion Nov. 30 with the dedication of a new chapel. This is the first time since the camp was established in 1951 that there has been a dedicated worship space for inmates at SFFC, thanks in large part to the efforts and contributions of the Tillamook community.

Larry Bowen, chaplain for SFFC and the Columbia River Correction-

al Institution (CRCI), said in the dedication ceremony that the genesis of the chapel was a conversation. “I happened to be in a meeting in Tillamook and mentioned that we needed a chapel,� he said.

Dave Westmark director of Celebrate Recovery at the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene, was in that meeting with Chaplain Bowen, and he went to work to make it happen. “I called Dennis Widmer, he’s a Tillamook contractor,� said Westmark. “At that time we’d been told there was $10,000 of Department of Corrections (DOC) money that could go toward the project. I asked

Chaplain Bowen awarded certificates of recognition to SFFC inmates for their work in building a new chapel.

Dennis if he thought we could do something creative to build a chapel with just $10,000. He came out and looked at it and he said he thought we could figure something out.�

WHEN MICE MEET SOLDIERS

Woman dies when car lands in river PACIFIC CITY – Corinne Edmiston, 23, of Tierra Del Mar, died Sunday, Dec. 2 when her car went off the road on Resort Drive and landed upside down in the Nestucca River.

Corinne left her boyfriend’s home in Hebo at about 6:15 a.m.

Sunday. She was headed to her home in Tierra Del Mar. When she did CORINNE EDMISTON not arrive at home or report for work at Chester’s Market in Pacific City, her family called the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO).

Fresh tire tracks were located on Resort Drive, which runs east to west along the Nestucca River in Pacific City. Sgt. Zimmerman of the TCSO said “she may have hit a puddle and lost control. The car ran off the road, flipped over on its top and slid into the river.�

Oregon Coast Dance Center presents two performances of The Nutcracker, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. at the Don Whitney Auditorium at Tillamook High School. This is the sixth annual Nutcracker performance, and it has become a holiday tradition for the community. Up to 100 people will participate in the performance, and dancers have been rehearsing since September. Tickets are $5 at the door. The auditorium will open one half hour before the performance.

Dale Buck of Tillamook County received not one but two standing ovations from four hundred people November 30 for his lifetime contributions to Oregon agriculture.

Dale was recognized and honored for his leadership in the agriculture industry at the Agri-Business Council of Oregon’s “Denim and Diamonds� dinner and awards reception at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Portland.

Dale’s wife, Jackie, of almost 58 years and his family and friends, including a large contingent from Tillamook County, attended the dinner and awards reception to see Dale receive the 2012 Agriculturist of the Year Award.

Take a trip to Holly with ‘The Christmas Express’

BY SAMANTHA SWINDLER sswindler@countrymedia.net

An admission of bias – I’m in the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts’ upcoming production of “The Christmas Express,� and I think you should see it.

The show, which opens Friday, Dec. 7, is a comedy of one-liners and nutty characters, that at its heart has a message of hope and faith. In it a stranger, named Leo Tannenbaum, arrives on an unscheduled train, and his stay reinvigorates the cheerless town of Holly. “I like the fact that it takes place in a small town and in some respects, is similar to Tillamook,� said director Becki Wilhelm. “The characters are funny, quirky, yet it has a very good message about what Christmas can be.� “The Christmas Express� features a

Durrer, who has no previous acting experience, auditioned on a whim. “It was just random.

Tillamook lights up the Courthouse Square As could be expected during a December in Tillamook, it rained during the town’s first ever Light Parade on Dec. 1. The parade made its way from Fred Meyer to the Courthouse Square for the annual lighting of the tree. But that didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd, which came out to enjoy the unofficial start to the Christmas season.

Fifteen entries lit up the streets of Tillamook – including cars covered in Christmas lights, fire trucks and police vehicles, and a float containing Oregon Coast Dance Center’s young cast of “The Nutcracker,” which took first place. Entry fees for each vehicle or float were 50 cans of food, which will benefit the local food bank.

City Hall was open late for a children’s coloring contest and cookie decorating station. City employees handed out hot coffee and hot chocolate, and Santa took photos with children across the street in the Tillamook County Courthouse. Free chili was given out at the Tillamook Transit Center.

Mayor Suzanne Weber and Councilor Doug Henson emceed the event, describing the floats as they passed along Laurel Avenue. They also invited a group of children to flip the switch, lighting up the massive live Christmas tree in front of the Transit Center, along with other lighted snowflakes, cows, fish and other characters throughout the Courthouse Square.

Murrelet injunction won’t affect Tillamook State Forest

SAVINGS AWARD

Valid 12/4/12 thru 12/11/12

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The injunction issued Nov. 19 by a Federal judge in Portland prohibiting logging in marbled murrelet habitat on state forest land will have minimal impact on the Tillamook State Forest, the Headlight Herald was advised Friday, Nov. 30.

Only one of the 11 timber sales affected by the injunction is on the Tillamook State Forest, according to Kevin Weeks, public information officer for the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). That timber sale, on 116 acres northeast of Beaver, was put on hold when two environmental groups filed a lawsuit last June, Weeks said. That sale “will be out of our operational plans for a couple of years,” Weeks said. “We had kind of expected this injunction to come down.”

The lawsuit, by Cascadia Wildlands and the Audubon Society, had charged that a number of planned timber sales would affect marbled murrelet habitat. ODF had voluntarily suspended work on the sales, totaling 1,700 acres, but the environmental groups sought the injunction, claiming that the “voluntary” would allow ODF to change its mind later. U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken agreed, granting the injunction November 19.

The timber – and revenue – that would have been generated by the Moon Creek sale will simply be obtained from timber sales elsewhere in the Tillamook State Forest, Weeks said. ODF’s 2011 Forest Management Plan has a target of 47 million board feet annually. “We are on target,” he said.

The Clatsop State Forest is not affected at all, Weeks said.

None of the 11 timber sales affected by the injunction is in the Clatsop State Forest.

Ten of the timber sales affected are in the Elliott State Forest in southern Oregon – and there, there will be a financial impact.

91% of the Elliott State Forest is “common school land,” assembled from the two-sections-pertownship Oregon received from the Federal government at statehood “for support of the common schools.” (The Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests, on the other hand, were created from logged-over or burned timberlands that were repossessed for unpaid taxes.) Money from timber sales in the Elliott State Forest is distributed to all school districts in the state, Weeks said.

Those 10 sales were expected to produce $14 million for the Common School Fund, Weeks said. “We have designed six new sales in the Elliott State Forest,” Weeks said, that will make up some of that money, “but we’re still looking at a gap of $9.8 million not going to the Common School Fund.”

The exact impact on school districts in Tillamook County was not known at press time.

Weeks suggested part of the $9.8 million “gap” might be able to be filled by the Division of State Lands (DSL). “DSL manages a pretty broad portfolio,” he said.

PEARL HARBOR REMEMBERED mfbell@countrymedia.net

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is Dec. 7, when the nation honors those who lost their lives in the infamous Japanese attack on American soil 71 years ago, signaling the United States’ entry into World War II. The Headlight Herald asked the community to share their recollections of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We heard from Al Wylder, 89, of Hebo, who was an 18 year-old infantryman in the Army stationed in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked.

We also heard from Maudie Eastwood, 94, who lived and worked in Tillamook for years.

She lives in Toledo now, east of Newport, just over the historic Chitwood Bridge. Maudie shared with us a letter that her mother, Lula Maud Smith, wrote to her daughter Irene on December 17, 1941, from Chitwood, where she was Postmaster. The letter describes preparations for war on the Oregon coast following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We also heard from Bill Thwaites, of Tillamook, who was eight years old when the U.S. was attacked in 1941.

the rescue of the wounded and recovery of the dead. When asked about his part in the recovery efforts, Al’s brows knit and he looked away and swallowed. He was quiet for a few moments, his expression distressed as he replayed a silent movie of the traumatic events in his mind. “It was awful,� he said, shaking his head. “Just terrible.�

With the bombing of Pearl Harbor the United States was thrust into the war, and Al spent the next three and a half years fighting in the South Pacific. Al was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1945. “I returned to San Francisco four years to the day from when I departed. That was something, four years to the day.�

BILL THWAITES: CHILDHOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF DEC. 7

I was eight and a half years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. At the exact time the news reached Madison, Wisconsin, I was playing in a sand box across the street from our house. Upon my return home, my parents, especially my mother, were visibly shaken and both did their best to describe what the news of the attack would mean for us and for the U.S. I don’t recall if this news meant much to me at that moment. But as the war dragged on, I paid more and more attention.

Eating everything served to me became very important. “There are starving children in Europe who could live for another week by eating half of what you are leaving on your plate� they told me. I was a very fussy eater and eating meat was torture to me. When I was told about meat rationing in England, I wondered how anyone could eat that much meat.

Gasoline, sugar and rubber tires were rationed in the U.S. We didn’t drive anywhere and my mother began to hoard sugar by collecting unused ration stamps from her relatives. We had to be satisfied with wooden toys, metal toys were a thing of the past.

My father’s field was geology, but he was pressed into service teaching physics, mostly to uniformed men who marched around the University of Wisconsin campus to the beat of drums.

My mother’s church was hosting a Christian Japanese family who had been evicted from Oakland, California for being Japanese. The family included twin sisters who attended our school and were named Ako and Shigako. They were impossibly talented, and unimaginably cute, but I was in grade school. Boys were not expected to like girls. The U.S. seemingly disliked both sexes of Japanese. We were busy killing any and all Japanese who still called Japan their home. It didn’t seem right.

At first it seemed as if we were losing the war on both fronts. Then it seemed as if progress towards victory was so slow that I might reach draft age and be drafted before the war was over. Newsreels showed that war was worse than any imagined Hell.

So I was happy when Berlin was overrun and V-E day came. Then we dropped our two atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and V-J day came. I was relieved, but we were already learning that Hitler’s influence on German thinking was far less than we had been led to expect. Might the Japanese really be far less fanatical than we were being told?

I think my father’s physics connection had prepared me for the A-bomb. Even before the war, a children’s radio program called “Jack Armstrong� had featured an adventure involving pitchblende from Canada. So I had assumed that we would demonstrate the power of the bomb on some uninhabited place in Japan, not on centers of population where other Akos and Shigakos might have been living.

When I read the book “Hiroshima� that had first appeared in the New Yorker, my life changed. When Eisenhower mentioned the acquisition of unwarranted power by the “Military/Industrial Complex,� I imagined that the world soon would be entering a post-military age. But Eisenhower’s lofty vision of the future was put back in the closet by a Complex that already had acquired sufficient power to insure its survival.

Jane Wise, who has owned the Fabric Patch for 31 years, said about $275 was stolen from her cash register. “I thank God that they didn’t vandalize anything and just took the money,� she said.

Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright said there were similar break-ins in Tillamook last week as well, but he couldn’t say if they were related at this time.

Speed may have been a factor combined with wet road conditions.

Clatsop County Dive and Recovery Team was called in to assist with a under water search of the river at the site of the tire tracks.

After 40 minutes of searching, the vehicle was located on the river bottom, 25-30 feet from the bank.

Edmiston had just woken up when she left her boyfriend’s home, and there is no indication that she was drinking in the morning; but tests will determine whether there was alcohol in her blood stream from the night before.

Wright said Bobbitt has relatives in the Tillamook area, and he had been staying in the area for a while, couch surfing. “We had the bank photos,� said Chief Wright, “and we got a lot of tips. Once we knew who we were looking for, we knocked on a lot of doors. We knew the general area he might be staying in.

Police saw him walking down the street in that area and arrested him.�

The Tillamook Police Depatment worked with the Narcotics Team from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and the State Police. “They did the lion’s share of the work,� said Wright. “The Narcotics Team was extremely instrumental in the arrest. I doubt that we could have achieved this rapid resolution without their assistance.�

On Friday, Nov. 16, just before 6 p.m., a white male, later identified as Bobbitt, entered the Wells Fargo Bank on 4th Street in Tillamook and attempted to rob the bank. A note was given to a bank teller at one of the transaction windows inside. Bobbitt also provided a bag. During the contact, the Bobbitt suddenly left, taking the bag with him, leaving the note. No weapon was seen.

The Police Department is still requesting that anyone who possibly saw anything to contact them at (503) 842-2522.

STAFF COMMENTARY

Childhood memories of farms

Support for the Rodeo

I

had the privilege of attending the Agri-Business Council’s annual “Denim and Diamonds” dinner and awards banquet in downtown Portland November 30, where Tillamook’s Dale Buck was honored with the 2012 Agriculturist of the Year Award. (Read the story on the front page.) My thanks to Senator Betsy Johnson, who reserved a table for the Tillamook County friends of Dale and his wife Jackie. It was my pleasure to break bread with this esteemed group and to celebrate Dale Buck’s lifetime contribution to Oregon agriculture.

The program opened with a presentation by the President of the Oregon FFA, Jerry Risk. He asked the audience members to take a moment and remember their first experience on a farm. A thoughtful hush fell in the banquet room as 400 people recollected their childhood encounters with agriculture.

Surely many of the people present grew up on farms; the Denim and Diamonds audience was a veritable who’s who of agriculture in Oregon.

But a lot of attendees, like me, were not farmers.

Nonetheless, farmers and urbanites and ruralites alike shared in a moment of remembering our formative childhood experiences with food and how it is grown.

After all, this is something we all have in common, our reliance upon food and the land that provides it; and if we roll our family histories back far enough, even the most citified among us would find a connection to the land.

I would like to have heard what the people around me were remembering. Wouldn’t it be nice to share each other’s early childhood memories of farms and food and the land and things that grow?

This is what came to me in the banquet room at the Denim and Diamonds dinner.

It isn’t my memory, but my grandmother’s, as she told it to me.

My grandmother, Beatrice Murphy, was born to an Irish American farming family in 1921. Her parents had a potato farm in South Dakota.

The Great Depression corresponded with a terrible drought and thousands of American farmers lost their farms to banks and the Dust Bowl. There resulted a huge migration of destitute farmers headed west, looking for work, food for their families and land that would support them.

My great-grandparents packed seven children into a Model A Ford and left the farm in South Dakota in 1932 when my grandma was 11 years old. In her words: “We hated to leave the farm, but nothing would grow. The sprouts would come up, and then wither and die for lack of rain. It about broke Dad’s heart. It hadn’t rained for a couple of years. They tried to wait it out; Dad didn’t want to go, but then our milk cow died and Ma was afraid we would starve.

“We traveled west, all of us in Dad’s Model A. Ma had people in Oregon, and Dad had people Mary Faith Bell in Washington.

Editor They argued about where we were going all the way out. Ma won of course, and we ended up in Oregon.

“It was a dry trip. I remember that. It was hot in the car and we didn’t have much water to drink. Our lips were cracked and dry. I remember Ma telling Kathy not to lick her lips because they were so dry they were bleeding…

“We ate cheese sandwiches all the way to Oregon. Ma had saved up her egg money to buy cheese for the trip. We were lucky to have it, but boy were those sandwiches dry,” she said, shaking her head. “We had to take small bites and chew and chew and chew just to to be able to swallow.”

“When we came out of the hills in Eastern Washington and rolled into the Yakima Valley it was the first time I’d ever seen an orchard. Rows and rows of trees, straight like soldiers and so green. It was fall, and the apples were ripe. It was the most beautiful sight, those red apples hanging from the branches.

“Dad stopped and we had our lunch in the orchard. The sweet smell of the apples made us swoon. It was like the most wonderful perfume you could imagine. You could almost swim in the smell.

“Dad wouldn’t let us eat any apples because it would have been stealing. Not even the apples on the ground. We sat in that orchard and ate our cheese sandwiches and our mouths watered for apples.

“Some of the little ones were crying. We were so parched, and we hadn’t had fruit for a couple of years.

Maybe a store-bought orange for Christmas. You ate what you could grow or trade for.

“Dad told us to close our eyes and smell the apples.

That’s what we did. Seven dusty kids and Mom and Dad sat there and closed our eyes and smelled the apples, because Dad said the air was still free.

“Right then I decided that if it took the rest of my life, I would live on an orchard someday. I wanted to spend my life surrounded by apple trees.”

My grandmother told me this story when I was a child in Hood River, where she and my grandpa lived and worked on an apple orchard.

She made it.

Do you have a story about your first experience on a farm? Please write it down, or call me and tell me. I would love to compile a Tillamook County collection of farm memories.

ABOUT US

Of all the things I find offensive in Tillamook’s downtown – the torn and faded awnings, the plywood covering holes in the sidewalk, the graffiti on vacant buildings – the last thing that comes to mind is the Rodeo Steakhouse.

One of the owners of the business, Omar Viramontes, has put time and money into improving a very visible business between Laurel and Main streets, facing First Street. Its fresh paint and vibrant sign invite travelers at the intersection of Tillamook’s two main highways to stop and visit because, yes, there’s still life in downtown.

Unfortunately, Viramontes’ efforts to brighten up an otherwise dull, brown wall with a painted business sign are now under fire from the city. Ordinances bar any sign – even the painted variety – larger than 120 square feet. The Rodeo’s sign is an estimated 472 square feet.

The Rodeo is seeking a variance to the city ordinance, and will go before the Planning Commission at 6 p.m. Dec. 6 at City Hall. Requesting the variance alone has cost the Rodeo at least $500. I can only dream of the city staff time that went into investigating

Bingo raises $928

The Kiwanis “Best of North County” Bingo Night, held Nov. 10 at the Pine Grove in Manzanita, was a great success, thanks to all the businesses who donated prizes, and especially to the huge crowd showed up to play. It was a fun evening.

This year’s Bingo night raised $928. All those funds will be donated to the various local kid-related groups and causes supported by the Manza-WheeLem Kiwanis Club in the coming year. Our community always benefits when people come together for a good cause.

Kiwanis thanks everybody for being a part of that effort.

On behalf of the VFW Post 2848 and its Ladies Auxiliary I wish to thank the wonderful residents of Tillamook County for their generosity regarding the recent Denny’s VFW “Become a Shining Star” campaign. Because of your patriotism and desire to help, over $1400 was raised to help aid various Veteran efforts in our area. All monies raised stay in our county and benefit our local population.

Some of our projects include Veteran Relief, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Support Group, Patriotic Education, Care Packages sent to local service men and women, placing of flags in cemeteries, various public events and numerous other causes we all benefit from.

Your support is vital in our efforts to promote Veteran awareness and agendas, and we are humbled and grateful for your continued benevolence.

We would also like to acknowledge the fine folks from Denny’s for their hard work and spirit: Keith Cassell-General Manager, Donna Kyle-Marketing and Public Relations, Irina Anderson-Assistant Manager and the awesome service staff.

You are all “shining stars” and our community is blessed by your presence!

Thank you Tillamook County and Denny’s for your continued support of the VFW, Veterans and your display of pa-

triotism. May God continue to bless you and our great nation!

Kephart’s Floor Covering, Homelife Furniture, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and NAPA Auto Parts. There are buildings that are falling apart with peeling paint, broken windows, rust eating through metal siding and worse. It would have never occurred to me to contact the city if the Headlight Herald decided to paint a large sign on the building.

And, best I can tell from the city ordinance, we should have paid a $10 fee for the sticker sign on our front window.

The city’s guidelines for its Town Center Zone District (what we might just call downtown) call for period colors and design choices that “reflect architectural styles that were popular as late as the 1940s.”

Now, that’s a grand idea. And if we looked like downtown McMinnville, I could see the problem with the Rodeo’s sign. But in Tillamook, there are only a handful of buildings that reflect that aesthetic. With no effort by the city or the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency to reach out to business owners and explain their vision for downtown, how can we fault an owner who has taken the issue into his own hands and tried to do something good?

I hope the city will not only grant the variance, but wave all associated fees that go Samantha Swindler along with it.

Director of News In this tough economy, surely the city has better uses of time than going after an established, locally-owned business (which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, a feat for any Tillamook restaurant.)

While he did consult the city on suggested color schemes when he went to paint his building, Viramontes should have specifically requested information on sign ordinances. But any business person who takes a look along Main and Pacific would be convinced there are absolutely no rules when it comes to building upkeep or design. There are many large, painted signs downtown – Roby’s, Robinson-Carver Heating Co.,

The Power of Endowments and Memorials If you believe in paying it forward and having a direct influence on the lives of others, you can choose options that will make a difference at Tillamook Bay Community College or at your favorite charitable organization forever.

To establish a fund in your name, create an endowment — or simply add to one of our existing endowment funds. To honor a loved one through a charitable gift, make a memorial gift in that person’s name.

Create an Endowment: The Gift That Keeps on Giving Once your endowment is established, the TBCC Foundation will set up the fund and pay a fixed percentage of its annual value to a student recipient or project of your choice each year. Earnings over the fixed amount are reinvested,

building the fund over time. Because use of the fund is restricted to a small portion each year, the fund will last forever.

We will assist you in developing a personalized fund description that illustrates the ideal recipient or project to benefit and names the committee that will select the annual recipients.

We will also help you devise a backup plan in the event that your fund’s original purpose becomes impractical.

Alternatively, you can put a bequest in your will or living trust to specify that funds be added to our organization’s general endowment.

When your gift is invested as part of our endowment, it generates a total return (income plus growth) along with the rest of the endowment.

As a portion of that return is paid out each year in your name, your gift will be providing income to support our mission each and every year.

Make a Memorial Gift: Honor a Loved One by Supporting a Favorite Cause Making a memorial gift to the College or a charitable organization honors an individual who was admired, loved and respected. Your gift is a lasting tribute to the important part that he or she played in your life and a future student or project. It can establish a permanent link with the past and encourages others to participate in a vision for the future.

We Can Help We would be happy to meet with you to explore the options most beneficial to you and discuss how your gift can help preserve our future. Please contact us for an appointment if you have questions or would like additional information.

GUEST COMMENTARY Sustainable roads for Tillamook County Tillamook County has 300 miles of paved roads, 97 miles of gravel roads, 99 bridges, 3210 culverts, two dikes and 5310 road signs. This represents a public investment by taxpayers of $400 million. A recent review of the condition of county road systems in Oregon gave Tillamook County the worst rating of all counties. Poor roads impact the commercial, agricultural and industrial businesses in the county. But it also impacts public safety: properly engineered and maintained roads are essential to transportation safety, and deteriorating roads put all of us at increased risk and make it more difficult for police, firefighters and medical personnel to respond to emergencies.

Our committee believes the county road department has done the best job it can with fewer and fewer resources.

Funding from federal forests harvests have been declining and will soon end, and voters turned down funding measures in 1996, 1999, 2008 and, most recently, in November, 2011. The first three measures were defeated by more than 60% of the voters. However, the November, 2011 property tax measure, which would have cost an estimated 46 cents per $1,000 in assessed value (less than half the cost of the 2008 measure), narrowly lost, 47% Yes, 53% No. That result encouraged us to keep thinking about how to improve our county roads.

The Tillamook County Cit-

izens Road Committee believes that the condition of county roads has deteriorated to an unacJon Carnahan ceptable Chair, Tillamook County Sustainable point. At the same Roads Committee time, its members respect the wisdom of the voters of Tillamook County and have informally been asking citizens for advice on how to move forward over the last year. Two themes have emerged from our conversations: 1) make sure the tax is as low as it can be and is focused on essential work; and 2) look for ways to generate revenue from visitors to the county, who use and benefit from our road system.

Therefore, we are considering a package of two county ballot measures for May, 2013 – the first is an even leaner version of the 2011 property measure, and the second is a new county room tax for motel and hotel rooms, camp grounds and vacation rentals for stays of less than 30 days.

This is a package – in the opinion of our committee, neither is enough by itself to get the job done.

Go online to tillamookheadlightherald.com and vote in our online poll to let the Sustainable Roads Committee know what you want to see on the ballot in May.

LETTERS: Save Our Sirens I was informed this week by the SOS people the New York Times newspaper has done an interview with them about Tillamook Co. decommissioning our tsunami sirens and they wanted to know why Tillamook County will be the only county on the west coast in 2013 without tsunami sirens. I believe tsunami sirens could save lives just like fire alarms and seat belts and believe we should continue the tsunami sirens in 2013 and the SOS group has informed me over 4,000 have responded to their facebook account.

Who is responsible for child abuse?

Approximately three weeks ago a 3-month old infant was injured in Tillamook sustaining broken ribs and a broken arm at the hands of family. This happened in a household where other children have been removed due to various types of neglect and abuse.

This time the infant and another child were removed. The mother and father of the child were recently charged in the infant case. I know this family and have no doubt as to what happened. What I want to know is why the grandmother was not charged as well.

They live in a small apartment and it is clear that this injury could not have been delivered without the grandmother knowing if not at the time of the injury but after.

This baby must have been in serious pain screaming and crying and with broken ribs the pain would have been intolerable yet she did nothing to help this infant - no calls to the police, no calls to neighbors, no calls to the hospital and yes she was home.

The mother finally took the baby to the ER where the authorities were called and when she found out they had been contacted she called home to tell her mother and husband to quickly clean the house because Children’s Services and the police were coming.

This makes a total of four children taken out of this home

Continued from Page A4 and again I want to know why the grandmother is not being charged. She is as guilty as if she had injured the baby herself and who is to say she didn’t? I would pray that the authorities NEVER allow these children back into that household and I would hope the police reconsider and charge the grandmother. The children deserve better.

Help the families of our National Guard Deployed National Guard soldiers often leave families behind who are making great financial sacrifices. Citizens of our state can help provide some relief at this time of year, by sending gift cards to the Oregon National Guard.

Purchase a gift card for any amount, for grocery’s, toys, or fuel. Send the gift cards to General Caldwell who will distribute the gift cards to the neediest of the Oregon National Guard Families all around our state.

It’s a great way to let our soldiers and their families know that we appreciate them.

Wildflower Thrift Store helps families. I feel that they need some nice, small toys to give little kids a smile. When you’re getting ready for Christmas this year, cleaning out old toys and

games to make room for new, please remember Wild Flower.

They need small dolls and little cars, and please remember that donated board games need to be complete.

What might he need?

This past week I passed by a boy, perhaps 7 year old, walking to the Food Bank with his young sister and his mom. This was a nice little family.

The sadness is that young boy’s face has stayed with me.

What might he need? A friendly word? Food, of course. And let’s try, through the holiday toy and clothing donation programs, to provide a gift that could help a child or a teen to smile at Christmas time.

I was wowed in Tillamook County How we are left to feel after an experience is what we will remember. Experiences create emotions. I have been left with a good customer service feeling and want to share it.

A couple days before Thanksgiving I was in need of an outfit to wear to a very special Thanksgiving dinner - we were going out of state the following afternoon. No time to have anything altered. I took a dress I have had a very long time and drove to Syzygy in Manzanita. I was stressed and needed help. Marsha greeted me with a smile as she heard my story.

She understood my needs and expectations and exceeded

them. Her expert assessment of the situation indicated a particular article of clothing would be perfect with the dress. Marsha said she personally had what I needed, new in the original packaging, at her home. I could have them all. Understanding my time constrain, she ask where I lived and sent them with her husband the next day to the Tillamook Bay Boat House. Her husband, Darus, called me the next morning to tell me he had a delivery from his wife, indicating no one at the boathouse could or wanted to wear them.

The wow factor boils down to exceeding the expectations of the customer. It creates a successful environment for employees, customers, and the organization!

Tourists plan on an experience when they travel. If their expectations of that experience are not met or even exceeded they will not return. Good customer service is out there, let’s share our experiences. No one wants to hear the negative ones.

As business owners, our resources are limited! For good customer service we don’t have to spend a lot of money. We can make the magic happen for our guests each day with good customer service. A product or a price advantage can be easily duplicated, but a strong customer service culture can’t.

Thank you Marsha for exceeding my expectations with your outstanding customer service. I will definitely be back and continue to spread the word.

High schoolers’ littering sets a bad example The kids at Tillamook High School have been littering in their parking lot. It isn’t a good example for the younger kids going by the school to see all the garbage.

The high schoolers probably don’t know that the younger kids look up to them and follow their examples. Littering is disrespectful! So please set a better example and show some school spirit by keeping your parking lot clean.

Lorraine Eva Trattner Lorraine Eva Trattner passed away at her home Wednesday November 28, 2012.

Her loving son was at her side so she was not alone.

Lorraine was born to LORRAINE Charles TRATTNER Alfred Wilcox and Blanche Frances (Fouts) Wilcox on April 11, 1923, in Woods, Oregon.

Lorraine graduated from Garibaldi High School in 1942, where she had already met and had been dating the love of her life and soul mate, Harlin Richard Trattner. She married Harlin on Aug 23, 1942 in Vancouver, WA. To this union two children were born, daughter, Deanna Lorraine (Trattner) Whitehouse; son, Richard Lyle Trattner.

Lorraine worked in Garibaldi for the Edmonds Crab Company for about 20 years.

Lorraine and Harlin were always together; you never saw one without the other. They loved to go hunting, fishing, they had their own fishing boat and they commercial fished for salmon. Lorraine loved to crochet and made many doilies, bed covers, chair covers and much more. She loved to read old westerns.

Ana Angelica Badillo English Ana Angelica Badillo English, 89, graduated from this life in her home in Dallas, Oregon, on November 20, 2012. She was surrounded by her family during her final days.

ANA Ana was ENGLISH born on September 14, 1923, in Caguas, Puerto Rico. She was the seventh of eight children born to

Gregorio Badillo and Secundina Carrasquillo.

Her mother died when Ana was five, from complications of childbirth. Her father passed away when she was 11. She lived with relatives until she was able to go to boarding school where she sang in the high school choir. Her life in Puerto Rico was very austere; no electricity, cooking over coals, and sleeping in a cot rather than a bed. Despite the primitive conditions, there was a strong sense of community.

She recalled the neighbors turning up their radio so she and others could sit outside and listen from the sidewalk.

Following graduation, at the age of 17, Ana moved to New York City to live with family.

She also spent time with family in Chicago prior to settling in Los Angeles with her brother Tom and his wife, Janice. Ana attended junior college and worked for Lockheed-Vega during World War II where she was a “Rosie the Riveter” on the wing assembly of the B-17 Flying Fortress. While working at Lockheed-Vega, she met Gordon Comstock English.

Shortly after they began dating, Gordon was inducted in the Naval Reserve and went to work for Pan American in the Bay Area. Realizing they were meant for each other, Gordon proposed, and they were married on August 12, 1944, at the Wee Kirk of the Heather chapel, at Forest Lawn, in Glendale, CA. They began their married life together in South San Francisco, CA. Expecting their first baby, Gordon Jr., they moved back to the Southern California in 1945. Three more children, Virginia, Nancy and Gregory were born in California. Gordon and Ana relocated the family to Dallas, OR in 1964 where they became active members of the community.

Ana loved children. She was a den mother, church volunteer, member of the Dallas Women’s Club, and served as a bi-lingual instructional assistant in the Dallas and Central School districts. Ana and Gordon were hosts to several foreign exchange students throughout the years. She also spent many years providing child care for several children of family and friends. She loved being “Nana” to her grand-children and great grandchildren along with Jandi Lucas, great niece and caregiver.

Over the years, Ana and Gordon travelled to Puerto Rico on several family trips.

Ana enjoyed returning to the land of her youth. Over the years, Ana and Gordon traveled to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Hong Kong, Spain, Great Britain, Canada, and Mexico.

They also made regular visits to family and friends in California and across the United States.

Ana was preceded in death by brothers Francisco, Herman, Thomas, Ubaldo, and Jose’; sisters Virginia and Carmen; and grandson, Joshua.

Ana is survived by husband, Gordon; sons Gordon Jr. (Virginia) English, and Gregory (Joellyn) English; daughters, Virginia (Rick) Kirk and Nancy (Johnny) Kinder; eight grandchildren; six step grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; and six step greatgrandchildren.

Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, November 27th at 11:00 a.m. in Trinity Lutheran Church in Dallas. Interment was in Salt Creek Cemetery.

Memorials may be made to Trinity Lutheran Church in care of Dallas Mortuary Tribute Center who is in charge of arrangements. !Via con Dios!

Mary Frances Kesterson Mary Frances Kesterson was born July 15, 1938 in Norton, Va. to Alpha and Elliott Hamilton. She died Nov. 21, 2012 in Dallas, Oregon at the age of 74.

Fran was the lady who MARY loved life, KESTERSON family and friends. After moving to Oregon she lived in Rockaway until she moved to Dallas Oregon. Fran was the type of person who made friends easily and could make anyone laugh.

Fran is survived by ex-husband, Larry Kesterson; daughters, Janice and Marvin Graves from Dallas, Ore., Tammie Colby from Lincoln City, Lori Kesterson from Salem; and son, Toby and Onka Skeen from Germany. She is survived by grandchildren, Michael Graves, Chris and Julie Graves, Josh West and his fiancée, Bridget Crorey, Lee and Nadine Skeen, Isaiah, Jakob and Lukas Kesterson and Izzy Martinez-Ybor; two greatgrandchildren, Collin and Kea-

gan Graves and “sister in love,” Rose Godwin of Tillamook.

Fran will be so missed by all she loved, and if she loved you she loved you for life.

There will be no funeral per Fran’s wishes.

Beverly “Bev” Smith Beverly ‘Bev’ Smith passed away on November 19th at her home in Keizer. She was born on January 21, 1942 in Tillamook to Elbert and Elizabeth (Becker) Leonnig. She graduated BEVERLY from TillamSMITH ook Catholic High School in 1960 and went on to become a Registered Nurse upon completing her studies and graduating from Sacred Heart General Hospital School of Nursing (Eugene) in 1963.

Beautiful both inside and out, Bev wore many a tiara during her school years in Tillamook and later in nursing school.

Certainly not one to dwell on her accolades, yearbooks and newspaper clippings fortunately “tell the story” and continue to preserve special moments in the earlier years of her life.

Bev worked as a RN at Salem Memorial Hospital and caught the eye of one of her patients, Curtis ‘Curt’ Smith. As the story goes, Curt was tenacious in his efforts to pursue a relationship with Bev. He thankfully was successful and they were married on August 3, 1968 in Tillamook. Sadly, Curt passed away in December 2002.

Bev is survived by her son Bradley ‘Brad’ Smith and his wife Sunny Chao Smith of Portland; daughter Lisa White and her fiance Roy Israel of Keizer; grandsons Harrison Smith and Blake White; sister Marilyn Kaser of Hillsboro; brother Tom Leonnig and his wife Wanda; and brother Bill Leonnig, all of Tillamook.

At her request, no services will be held. However, that does not mean that as family or as friends, we cannot celebrate the life of a truly beautiful person.

Although she is no longer present physically, her spirit lives on and those she left behind will never forget her simplicity, sense of humor, beautiful smile and selfless ways. We will miss her tremendously, yet comfort can be found in knowing that we will be with her again someday.

“Webster” On November 27 Webster died of unknown causes. He was the heart and soul of Rainy Day Books. An extraordinary spirit, our hearts break at his leaving. He was loved so very much.

In his 18 years, he made many friends from both far and near. Being the gregarious WEBSTER guy that he was, he lived for greeting the customer and talking them into a pet (unless you were a kid, and then you might get a sharper greeting).

Some folks came time and again to visit this special, handsome guy, and he remembered every one of you.

Some of his friends brought gifts of catnip, not knowing that catnip didn’t excite him at all.

Others, having just come from the Y swimming pool found out that sniffing chlorine was his turn-onas he would meow, drool, bite feet and try to chew wet hair.

Two of his favorite activities were chasing and retrieving his super ball and being combed.

He was “Mr. Man, Mister, Lovey, Buddy, Love” and my

“Chunky Monkey.” Words can’t convey how much joy and love he gave and how very much he is loved and missed.

His ashes, super ball and comb will be laid to rest in a secret hiding place at Rainy Day Books where he can remain always, as he never wanted to be any place else.

Found on Main Street as a wee kitten, Webster was just a stray who made an impression on all who met him with his “joie de vivre.”

In remembering Webster, consider taking in a kitty or a dog who needs a home, or giving to United Paws to help with their caring efforts.

These are loving beings who deserve a home, and who give so much more than they take.

Webster surely did.

Good-bye my “Mister.” You will always be dearly loved and never forgotten.

Coast erosion, Rodeo sign to get variance hearing Dec. 6 ocean energy addressed by Neskowin CPAC

BY JOE WRABEK

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

BY JULIUS JORTNER For the Headlight Herald

On Dec. 1, the Neskowin Citizen Planning Advisory Committee (NCPAC) voted to recommend, to the county planning commission, the establishment of a “hazard overlay zone” near the ocean that would define the area most likely to suffer erosion by extreme tides.

The proposed boundaries of the hazard zone, as developed by the Neskowin Coastal Hazards Committee and described to the meeting

by David Kraybill, approximate the extent of inundation by a “100-year” high tide (as defined by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, DOGAMI).

Special rules for real estate improvements within that zone would be discussed in February, at the next scheduled meeting of the NCPAC. NCPAC also voted to engage the issue of permitting ocean energy devices off the coast between Cascade Head and Pacific City. It is generally understood that Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee (TSPAC) is close to placing this area on the list of areas recommended as appropriate for siting of ocean energy devices Specifically, the group approved wide distribution of a letter, drafted by Charlie Ciecko and Guy Sievert. The addressees would include the Tillamook county commissioners, TSPAC, Oregon’s Ocean Policy Advisory Council, and Oregon’s Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC).

LCDC makes the final decision.

The letter calls for proper attention to Goal 19 of Oregon’s Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines, and to Part 5 of the existing Territorial Sea Plan, which both give high priority to protecting living marine organisms and habitats from any adverse effects of development or use of the ocean floor, and similarly protecting areas important to fisheries.

The adopted letter concludes that NCPAC “urges the removal of the proposed wave energy development area between Pacific City and Neskowin due to serious conflicts with Goal 19 and the Territorial Sea Plan, Part Five.”

Prior to the vote, David Yamamoto presented a summary of current TSPAC activity. He noted that an enterprise would not be precluded from proposing energy development in areas not on the

list of places recommended

by TSPAC and adopted by LCDC. But every proposal would be reviewed by a Joint Area Review Team (JART) that (per Part 5 of the current Territorial Sea Plan) would include representatives of various governmental agencies and municipal entities.

Notably, there currently is no provision for representation of local unincorporated communities, like Neskowin and Pacific City, on a JART. Thus NCPAC’s letter recommends amending Part 5 of the Territorial Sea Plan to specifically include representation from potentially affected unincorporated communities.

Yamamoto urged all to publicly express their opinions about ocean energy devices on the local coast, and to attend relevant meetings.

The next (and possibly the last) meeting of the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee will be held on Thursday, Dec 6, from 9 am – 4 pm, at the Salishan Conference Center, Gleneden Beach. This meeting will also be open to the public.

Public input also will be accepted online at www.oregonocean.info anytime before LCDC meets in January.

About 24 people attended Saturday’s NCPAC meeting.

Most were from the Neskowin area, plus several visitors from Pacific City.

The votes of the Neskowin residents were nearly unanimous; 18 in favor, none opposed, with one or two abstentions.

The large sign on the side of the Rodeo Steakhouse and Grill building will be the subject of a Tillamook City Planning Commission hearing Thursday evening, December 6.

Omar Viramontes, owner of the Rodeo, has applied for a variance from city sign regulations. The variance, if granted by the Planning Commission, would allow a sign on the west side of the building 352 square feet in excess of the size permitted in the city’s Central Commercial zone. The Rodeo’s sign covers an estimated 472 square feet.

“Approval of the variance would alleviate the subject property of a sign size violation,” the city’s notice said.

On June 27, the Headlight Herald reported that Viramontes’ “Rodeo Steakhouse and Grill” sign, freshly painted on the side of the building, had been ruled “too big” by the City of Tillamook’s Planning Department.

Someone had complained, city planner David Mattison said.

One of Viramontes’ options

was to apply for a variance, Mattison had advised at the time. A variance is permission to violate a measurement – in this case, the maximum limit the city’s code places on signs. “We want the sign and are going to

apply for the variance,” Viramontes said.

The Planning Commission’s meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. The Rodeo sign is the second item on the commission’s agenda.

A retired Tillamook dairy farmer and a tireless advocate for farmers and the agriculture industry, Dale has dedicated his life to Oregon agriculture. Several spinal surgeries forced Dale to retire from the farm, but that hasn’t slowed him down. He shifted his considerable knowledge of and passion for agriculture into volunteer efforts. Dale sits on “at least a dozen” boards and committees; so many that it’s hard for him to list them all, and he’s too humble anyway. They include the Oregon Farm Bureau, the Oregon Agriculture Education Foundation, the Summer Ag Institute, the Oregon Century Farm and Ranch Program, and more.

Locally he serves on the board for the Nestucca Anglers Association. “I don’t feed cows anymore,” he said at the awards reception, “now I feed 100,000 live Chinook.”

Dale is known statewide and beloved locally for his service in organizing the Tillamook County booth at the State Fair. Every year for the past 12 years Dale and his wife, Jackie, have recruited volunteers to man the County booth, purchased and requisitioned supplies and decorations, set the booth up, cut and served thousands of cubes of Tillamook Cheese, and represented Tillamook County to tens of thousand of State` Fair visitors. It’s more than a full-time job in fair season, and Dale and Jackie do it out of the generosity of their hearts, and because “I love the fair, and I love agriculture,“ said Dale.

When it’s all over they tear down

EXPRESS:

the booth, pack up the supplies, load them in a trailer and bring them back to Tillamook and store them until next year.

Dale grew up on a farm in Scott’s Mills, Or., milking cows and feeding chickens and pigs. When he was in the sixth grade his family moved to Amity to live and work on the Broadmead farm. “When I was 12 or 13, I went to work on the farm driving tractor and combine. We didn’t have any trouble. But nowadays, the government is so goofy,” he paused as the audience laughed, “they don’t want to let kids under 18 work on a farm.”

Dale and Jackie started farming in Tillamook by renting land. Eventually they were able to buy their dairy farm. They operated it for 29 years.

Dale sat on the board of the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) for nine years, where he sold the milk from his farm. TCCA's new CEO Patrick Criteser hosted a table at the awards reception to honor Dale and Jackie. “Tillamook Cheese is paying my hotel bill tonight,” he said with a smile.

Senator Betsy Johnson also hosted a table for the Tillamook County friends of Dale, where she presided, along with Representative Debby Boone, Commissioner Mark Labhart and his wife, Melanie, Richard and Pam Obrist and Dan and Carol Marie Leuthold of Tillamook.

The TCCA Board was where Dale became involved with the legislative process. “You have to know your leg-

islators,” he said. “You have to get involved in the political process because you can’t clean out a farm ditch now without half a dozen agencies wanting to know what you’re doing. I‘m just so thankful to live in this country, where we can be involved in government.”

When the legislature is in session Dale can be found at the Capitol, wooing legislators with Tillamook cheese curds and lobbying for agriculture, forestry and natural resources issues statewide.

“At a time when a lot of people would have succumbed to the temptation to hang it up and retire,” said senator Johnson, “he’s busier than anyone I know. He’s constantly on the road. Going to meetings in Salem, talking to people on the farm; Dale is everywhere.”

Several hundred of those people raised their glasses to Dale at the awards banquet. Characteristically humble, he was reluctant to get up from his table and receive his award.

At the podium Dale told the crowd, “Without my wife, Jackie, the kids, and the many friends I’ve known in my life,” he said, acknowledging his friends in the audience, “I wouldn’t be worth much.”

The Agri-Business Council produced a video about Dale and his contributions to Oregon agriculture. It was shown at the Denim and Diamonds dinner and awards reception.

“Ever since then, which would have been in the 1990s, I kind of wanted to try it myself,” she said.

Being new to the area, Cherry said TAPA has been a way to make friends and get involved in the community.

“It’s funny,” she said of the play.

“Everybody needs a good laugh and a sense of humor, especially during the holidays because it can be stressful at times.”

Tillamook County native Barbi Fox plays Hilda Trowbridge, manager of the struggling Holly Railway Station. This is Fox’s second TAPA play.

After playing the flirtatious, ditzy Sue Johnson in “Never Kiss a Naughty Nanny,” Hilda is quite a different character.

“It’s challenging because it’s not my nature to be so snarky and grouchy, and so it’s difficult for me not to smile up there,” Fox said. “I’m supposed to be this cranky-pants, but people are cracking me up.”

Fox performed in Nestucca’s musicals throughout high school, and had always wanted to get involved in community theater as an adult. “... I moved away and had kids and I was a single mom,” Fox said. “I

knew what a time commitment it would be doing a play and since I had to work full-time and I had limited time with the kids anyway, I didn’t want to use up that little bit of time dropping them off at the babysitter to go to play practice. When my youngest son graduated high school I moved up here and saw in the paper they were auditioning for ‘Mousetrap.’

So I said OK, this is a bucket list thing, I’m going to do it, I’m going to get involved.”

While she didn’t get a part in that first production, which had limited female roles, she was encouraged and landed a part in the next play.

“I think people will be able to relate to this,” Fox said of the Christmas show. “I know in my own life, having just lost my dad a couple of years ago right after Christmas, this is a really touching play for me. It touches upon the difficulties people have with holidays, but it’s also a feel-good story, and it’s hilarious.”

Carrying the magic of play is Mark Johnson, who plays the pixie-ish Leo Tannenbaum. Robert Kratz, whom you may have seen as the reluctant “Nanny” in “Never Kiss a Naughty

Nanny,” brings the comic relief as Hilda’s bumbling assistant, Satch Brunswick.

The show is produced by Debbie Coon. Retired art teacher Diane Krieder designed and painted the set.

The talented (and only 14 years old) Croix Swanson is in charge of lights and sound. The cast also includes Joni Sauer-Folger as mail carrier Maggie Clooney, Richard Coon as the ominous Mr. Fairfax, Rob Buckingham as Donna’s husband Jerry Cummings, and me as (a big stretch) the editor of the Holly Herald newspaper.

Catch “The Christmas Express” at 7 p.m. Dec. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 or at 2 p.m. Dec. 9 and 16 at The Barn Community Playhouse at 12th & Ivy in Tillamook. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and students, or $40 for a family of four.

The chapel is a remodel of a room with an outside entrance formerly used as a TV room by the inmates. By all accounts the TV room was “a dark, dingy, sweaty room with concrete floors, not well maintained.”

The goal was to transform it into a dedicated chapel: “a place of peace and sanctuary in an environment that is often full of fear and loathing.”

But the DOC is facing stiff budget cuts, and the next thing Westmark knew, the $10,000 from DOC was off the table. If the chapel was going to be built, the entire thing would have to be funded from the community, with the exception of inmate labor.

“Dennis (Widmer) said he still thought we could do it,” said Westmark, “so we got busy.”

“I want to say how significant it is that the community stepped up and got this done in these difficult financial times,” said Chaplain Bowen. “This could not have been accomplished with DOC dollars. The Tillamook community donated $35,000 in materials and countless hours in volunteer time and labor.”

Dennis Widmer stepped up and managed the project, working side by side with an inmate construction crew.

Widmer was honored for his part in the chapel building with a plaque and a special, inlaid frame constructed in the SFFC woodshop.

“I enjoyed getting to work with the men here at South Fork,” said Widmer.

“I liked talking with them and showing them things and having them tell me about the things that frustrated them. It was a great experience for me, working hands on to build this chapel.”

Under Widmer’s guidance inmates gutted the room, put a foundation under it, replaced posts with a weight bearing beam, built a stage, built a bathroom and a control room, sheet rocked, installed cabinets, ceiling tile, flooring, did plumbing (with a licensed plumber), and painted the chapel. The inmates who labored for months to build the chapel were honored at the dedication with certificates. Chaplain Bowen shook their hands and thanked each man. They said that they were happy to work on the project, that it felt good to make use of their skills to build something meaningful.

They also mentioned that they’d be happy to do some more construction if the community wanted to support them in building a new TV room (for the one that was turned into a chapel) or a gym.

There is no gym at SFFC. The only opportunity for working out in the winter is running in the rain, which several men were doing on the afternoon of the dedication.

The men said that while not all of the inmate population avails itself of the chapel, it has already become a religious home to a number of inmates, and there is steady attendance at church services (all denominations) and Celebrate Recovery meetings.

“I’m an alcoholic,” said one member

of the inmate construction crew, “and Celebrate Recovery is really great for me. I’ve been to treatment a couple of times, had a couple of DUIIs; I think Celebrate Recovery is the best treatment program for me.”

A two-man Celebrate Recovery band attended the chapel dedication and played music to open and to close the ceremony. The opening tune was bluesy rock number written for the facility called the South Fork Shuffle Blues.

The closing tune was a rock variation of Amazing Grace. The band -- Peter Kleeman and Richard Biggs -- is very good. They visit SFFC a couple of times a week to bring music, teaching and worship. They also contributed toward the building of the chapel.

Dennis Holmes, DOC Religious Services Administrator, described the goal of religious services in a corrections setting not only as a ministry to the inmates, but also as a deterrent to recidivism with the aim of crime prevention.

“The goal is public safety,” Holmes said, “to reduce the number of victims.

“There is a dehumanizing that happens in inmate populations,” Holmes said. “The long-term significance of what a dedicated space can do for a guy to be able to get alone and consider God, and whether or not it is worth it to change is unparalleled…studies have shown that a commitment to God is the deepest kind of commitment a person can make. That commitment supports lasting change.”

Holmes commended everyone who participated in making the chapel a reality. “There are those who have meetings and talk about helping people, and there are those who help people. That’s what happened here.”

Christine Popov, Chief Administrator of Human Resources thanked the Tillamook community. “People put their money where their mouths are to help a population that is hidden in the woods and easily forgotten. As a community you said, ‘we believe in you.’A space like this building can create a message as powerful as that.”

Chaplain Bowen thanked Tillamook for being good neighbors and said, “I want Tillamook to know that SFFC wants to be a good neighbor to you, too.” SFFC inmates work with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) fighting forest or wild fires, planting trees, maintaining trails and campsites and providing disaster relief. SFFC staff and inmate work crews worked extensively on flood clean-up in Vernonia, Mist and Astoria after the 2007 floods.

“Tillamook, when you need us, we’ll be there for you, too,” said Bowen.

Businesses that were honored for their contributions to the building of the chapel include: Dennis Widmer Construction, Miami Cove Electric, Christensen Plumbing, Iconipro Integrated Solutions, Stricker Engineering, Scovell Design, Pro-Build Seaside, First Christian Church and the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene.

Man sentenced over child pornography

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Sentencing for convicted child pornographer Douglas Wayne Chandler took place Friday, Nov. 30 at the Tillamook County Courthouse. Chandler, 38, of Nehalem, was found guilty Nov. 1 by a jury of five counts of encouraging child abuse in the first degree (a Class C felony), and five counts of encouraging child abuse in the second degree (a Class B felony). Chandler was arrested July 20, and has been in custody since.

Judge Donald Hull sentenced Chandler to a total of 51/2 years in state prison on the 10 counts. Prosecutor Scott Jackson, a senior assistant attorney general with the state Justice Department, had requested that Chandler’s sentence be reduced to reflect the time he had already spent in jail, noting that the state Department of Corrections often ignores orders to grant prisoners credit for time already served. Judge Hull agreed, reducing what would have been a 6-year sentence to 66 months. Following his prison term, Chandler will have to undergo 36 months’ post-prison supervision and register as a sex offender.

Hull granted a request from defense attorney Richard White that Chandler be held in Tillamook County for 48 hours before starting his state prison sentence, in order to spend some time with his family. Chandler’s wife Katherine and mother Mary Pipkey were present in the courtroom for the sentencing.

Defense attorney White also argued for “merging� the firstdegree and second-degree “counts,� and making the sentences concurrent (served all at the same time) rather than consecutive (one after another).

This would mean Chandler would spend less time in prison. “There is no evidence of harm in this case,� White argued. The victims didn’t know Chandler existed, or that they’d been victimized, he said.

Jackson, the prosecutor, objected to both. The seconddegree “counts� (for possession) and first-degree “counts� (for duplication) are different, Jackson said. “There are two distinct elements in the crime.� He urged the judge to reject “the idea that victims aren’t victims because they’re not aware� they are victims. The judge agreed with Jackson.

In presentations to the judge, Chandler’s wife and mother both asserted his innocence. “He is a loving husband and father,� wife Katherine Chandler said. “I know deep in my heart he didn’t do this. We just want him home.� She expressed doubt Chandler would survive incarceration in state prison. “I don’t believe this is true,�

Mary Pipkey, Chandler’s mother, told the judge. “We talk about these five pictures,� she said. “Was this a child we were talking about?� She noted judges and attorneys on the case had changed three times. “I’m concerned whether you heard everything,� she said.

Chandler himself did not make a statement, though invited to do so by Judge Hull.

Before closing the hearing, Hull asked if Chandler had served in the army. (He had, defense attorney White said.) “There is a move a foot to have assistance to vets with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder),� Hull said. He urged White to look into those services on his client’s behalf.

Computer equipment seized when Chandler was arrested will be destroyed, Hull ordered.

Lady Bobcats bounce back to claim their first league win

After dropping their first two games, the Lady Bobcats beat Delphian

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Nestucca Lady Bobcats got their season underway on Nov. 28 when they headed to Waldport to take on the Irish.

Neither team came out scoring big, but the Bobcats led 12-9 at half.

It wasn’t until the third quarter where the Irish offense showed signs of life.

The Irish outscored the Bobcats 12-8 into the third quarter to take a 21-20 lead in the fourth. In the fourth, Waldport dumped on a few more to get a 27-23 win over Nestucca.

“The girls inspired me,” said head coach Yazminn Thompson.

“They’re a strong team and I think they haven’t been getting the credit they deserve. They’re such a great group of girls and they played a good game.”

Nestucca vs. Sheridan The Sheridan Spartans came to Cloverdale on Nov. 30 to take on the Bobcats in the Bobcats home debut. The Spartans pressed early, causing problems for the Bobcats.

They also had some big girls that caused mismatch issues. By the time the Bobcats figured it out, they were well behind. The Spartans led 24-9 at half and never looked back, win-

ning the game, 39-11.

“We were confident in ourselves and we executed our plays pretty well,” Thompson said. “I talked to the girls after the game and they felt good about themselves so I felt good about it.”

Nestucca @ Delphian The Bobcats opened their league play when they traveled to Delphian to take on the Dragons. Like any team, the Bobcats wanted to get

their league season off on the right foot and that’s just what they did.

Even without starting guard Jasmins Boisa, who was out with injury, the Bobcats rallied together to hold off the Dragons and get the win, 33-28.

A big part of that win was a huge game rebounding and 13 points from sophomore Monica Chatelain.

“The girls all worked together and really played as a team,” Thompson said.

2013

“They also played great defense and were very careful not to foul too often. They deserved that win.”

The Bobcats moved to 1-0 in Northwest League play and 1-2 overall.

Up next they'll go back into nonleague play at Willamina in a 6 p.m. game on Dec. 4 followed by a 6 p.m. game on Dec 5 at home against Toledo.

Headlight Herald Sports For the fourth time in the last seven years, the television outdoor show ‘Hawg Quest’ came to Tillamook to film an episode of their northwest hit fishing show with local fishing guide Dave Manners. Besides simply hitting the river for a few days to get some real fishing action and a few fat fall chinook on camera, they were also here to help promote the fishing in the Tillamook Area.

“Hawg Quest is watched by over 2.3 million people a week so having these guys come down here and film a show is an awesome way to get people interested in fishing Tillamook,” said local guide and owner of Big Dave’s Alaskan Bush Lodge, Dave Manners. “I know I get a lot of bookings off of doing the show and I know a huge majority of my clients come down and stay in hotels and buy dinners here and stop at stores. It’s a good thing for everybody.

“Also, if someone sees the show and maybe they went with a different guide besides myself a few years ago and haven’t come back but they did enjoy fishing, they might get up and call that guide for another trip after seeing the show. That even helps the other guides get business.”

When the Hawg Quest host Glenn Hall, cameraman Taj Gombart, owner of Clackacraft Drift Boats Bruce Belles, Clackacraft salesman Jake Gregg and Andy “The Mad Russian” Kuznetsov came to Tillamook and met up with locals, Dave Manners, Jamison Johnson, Nick Laviolette and Josiah Darr, they were treated to a wonderful dinner at Koko's Restaurant. The staff at Koko's was anxiously awaiting their arrival and happy to have them.

Bobcats going through growing pains in early season

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports The Bobcat boys basketball team opened their 2012-2013 season with a road game at a very good Waldport team's home court on Nov. 28.

The Bobcats hung in the game for the first two-and-ahalf quarters but in the third, Waldport starting distancing themselves. “They pressed us the whole game and trapped us when we got past half court which caused some turnovers,� said Bobcats head coach Jim Kiser. “About half way through the third we were still in it, but they hit back-to-back threes and took all the momentum.�

Without any momentum, the Bobcats couldn’t get rolling again and were outscored 25-8 in the fourth quarter, eventually falling, 5125.

Austin Woods led the Cats in scoring with 10 points. “I was actually really happy with how we played at the beginning of the game,� Kiser said. “Too many turnovers cost us in the long run.�

Nestucca vs Sheridan The Bobcats tried to bounce back from their opening loss when they hosted the Sheridan Spartans two nights later on Nov. 30. “I think this game was the best we’ve played so far this season,� Kiser explained. “But their guards killed us. I think they had 32 of their 55 points.

We didn’t have an answer for them.�

The Bobcats fell, 55-41.

Nestucca did get something in the game they’ll desperately need this season. Scoring from multiple players. Eight different Bobcats had points in the game let by Brett Elder with 12 points. “We handled the press a lot better and moved the ball well in the second half,� Kiser said. “Overall, it was a big step up from Waldport.�

Nestucca @ Delphian It’s been said there’s no rest for the wicked. Well, the Bobcats don’t get much either because after falling to Sheridan, they had to travel to Del-

phian the following night to take on the Dragons. Unfortunately for the Bobcats, the back-to-back play caught up with them and left them a little gassed. “We didn’t play nearly as well as we did the night before,� Kiser said. “It looked like our legs left us about half way through the second quarter. “Once we got tired, we started settling for jump shots.

Shots we weren’t making because our legs were history.�

The Bobcats gave everything they had left in the tank, but they couldn’t keep up with the fresher Dragons and lost

their third straight, 49-35.

The early season losses aren’t a huge concern to Kiser who knows his team will have growing pains early on. “We’re a young team and we're going to have some ups and downs,� Kiser explained. “We had trouble getting the ball inside which we'll work on and next time we play Delphian at home, I think we can get them.�

Up next for the Bobcats are road games on Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Willamina followed by a home game at 6 p.m. on Dec. 5 against Toledo.

Lady Pirates play well at Warrenton but fall, 47-24 Headlight Herald Sports

The Lady Pirates opened their season on Nov. 6 with a tough road game at Warrenton.

Besides being in a higher league, the Warriors typically run out very good teams in all their sports. Their girls basketball team was no different.

The Pirates played hard and hung with the Warriors longer than expected, but eventually fell 47-24.

Pirate head coach Corey Douma wasn’t upset about his team’s loss. On the contrary, he was excited to see some of the things his team was able to accomplish. “We had four freshman play big minutes for the first time in their lives,� Douma explained. “That was the first

time almost all of those girls had seen basketball at that level and that speed.�

It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Warriors took a more commanding lead by outscoring the Pirates 12-4. “My girls really did what they could, but Warrenton is a very good team with more size than we had,� Douma said. “They were pretty tough for us to match up against.�

The Pirates got a pleasant surprise when their leading scorer was freshman Elana Holm with eight points followed by Taylor Winder with six. “It was a good experience JOSIAH DARR PHOTO game for us and hopefully we Dana Moore played well for can improve on what we need the Pirates this season. to work on,� Douma said.

“It's great having the guys come in for a big dinner,” said Koko's manager Amy Tone. “It's so much fun having them out and we have a wonderful time. It's also a pleasure doing business with them for the second year.”

Tone did note that the advertising that Koko's gets during the Hawg Quest episodes is well worth hosting the crew.

“We have people every year that come in after the show airs and are asking about the Hawg Quest guys and tell us they came in because they saw it on TV,” Tone explained. “It's a great arrangement and it works out really well for everyone.”

This year the conditions were a little tough and the chinook fishing wasn't as hot as it's been on past trips. Fortunattely the talented fishermen got enough fish and footage for another great Hawg Quest episode, which will likely air in

January or February. When it does air, it will be on Root Sports Network.

While the fishing wasn’t incredible by Hawg Quest standards, it was still very good.

Between Dave Manners’ boat and two boats being rowed by Johnson and Darr, they caught quite a few big chinook.

Enough that Hawg Quest Host Glenn Hall is looking forward to his return to Tillamook.

“You name it and we've done it in the Northwest,” Hall said. “But besides coming out here and doing a show with my good buddy Dave, the fishing is outstanding. There are three rivers right here in town we can fish and if the water is high we always have an alternative place to go film a show.

“Frankly, Tillamook has got the be the best place to be for fishing in Oregon. I’ll be back in a couple of weeks.”

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports At the Tillamook County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting on Nov. 19, Tillamook graduate Rick Welle received the Virgil Chadwick Memorial Award Scholarship for $1,000.

Welle, a member of the 2012 Tillamook High School graduating class was very deserving of the award according to spokesperson from the Tillamook Farm Bureau Orella Chadwick.

Rick graduated with honors for scholastic achievement and was on the baseball, swim and bowling teams while at THS. He was also a Key Club member and active in the Charity Drive all four years of high school.

Outside of the classroom, Welle was active in his church, helped out at Whiskey Creek Hatchery with the Tillamook Anglers annual fin clipping and was a volunteer at the North Coast Salmon Rendezvous.

Welle also acted as a counselor at Outdoor School his junior and senior year.

Welle couldn't be in attendance for the meeting due to the weather and upcoming tests he had at Oregon State University so his parents Paul and Barbara accepted the scholarship on his behalf.

Rick Welle is majoring in Forestry Management at Oregon State University.

Currently, Welle is studying Forestry Management and plans on majoring in it as OSU. “I'm very thankful for the award,” Welle said. “I'll use the scholarship for tuition and and books this year.

“I'm really enjoying college. Honestly, I thought the classes would be more intimidating than they are.”

eautiful weather out there on Sunday and Monday, but downright cold! With black Friday and cyber Monday out of the way now I feel like I can really finish my holiday shopping. I would like to let you know about an activity for the kids that is going on in December. Starting on December 17th there will be a Christmas Vacation Bible School from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., for ages 4 years to 5th grade, located at Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church on 10th and A street in Nehalem. There will be stories, songs, crafts, games, a snack and drama for a Christmas play. It is FREE! You must register by December 10,2012.

You can pick up registration forms at N.B.U.M. Church and the N.C.R.D, then return them when filled out. You can also pick a registration form up at Nehalem Elementary School, BUT DON’T return them back to the school, they need to be returned to the N.B.U.M. Church or the N.C.R.D. All age children must be brought into the church and picked up inside the church each day. If your child is involved with the N.C.R.D program available at that time they have arranged for kids that are going to that program to be walked to N.C.R.D with an employee of N.C.R.D. Any questions call Joanne at 503355-2573 or pastor Jody at 503-

orry to hear that Wilma Fish passed away November 4, 2012. She was 87. She has been an active member of the Nea-Rock Garden Club for many years. And that is how we became acquainted. She knew a lot about flowers and plants and was an interesting person to talk to. She gave our garden club several tours of her yard and had a nice little garden where she was content to work and harvest what she grew.

Wilma lived along the Whiskey Creek Road, Netarts, Oregon.

The view from her windows on the east side of her house looked down a hillside and often she would see elk and deer there. I don't know if she ever drove a car but as long as I had known her she never did drive. She had friends who helped her with getting to appointments and shopping. Janet Stahl drove Wilma to garden club meetings that she enjoyed coming to. I'll miss her.

She was so happy and bright.

Condolences to her family.

In last week's Headlight Herald obituaries I saw that two long time residents of Cape Meares had passed away also. Harold Keller and his wife Betty lived in Cape Meares in the same house

rom Tami: “Hey all, what do ya know, a real radiation vacation update! I think I need to take a reality check and be honest with myself, and all of you! I've been trying to convince myself that I'm just gonna lick this thing any minute now, and I'm coming to the conclusion that I am getting better but I have no magic date yet that makes sense. The docs are telling me I'm doing great, but my next appointments aren't until mid-December, and I'm not sure how much I'll know by then. I do know it's not going to do any of us any good for me to come back too soon, and have to quit again and start all over. So I guess I just ask for your patience and when this is over we will all look back and laugh -- I'm very much looking forward to this part!. Don't forget Tillamook has other Barbers, and I will be back!”

Tami’s birthday is coming up, by the way – it’s December 11.

Besides Tami and That Guy whose birthday we celebrate on

368-5612. On Thursday evening, December 20th at 5:30 p.m. there will be a spaghetti dinner for the families of participants followed by the children's Christmas play.

This sounds like a lot of fun for the kids and a great activity for the winter break from school.

The Nehlaem Elementary School is having their winter concert on December 6th at 7:00 p.m., and the Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School will be having its winter concert on December 13th at 7:00 p.m., try to make it there to support the students and hear what they have been working so hard on.

I would like to let you know about the Cannon Beach chorus, a number of the singers are from the Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler area -- they will be performing the Christmas section of Handel's Messiah as well as a variety of Christmas carols. The final carol I hear is not to be missed! The audience will sing Silent Night while they sing a carol called Peace, Peace. Sounds exciting!

Friday December 7th at 7:00 p.m. is The Festival of Trees benefit for Providence hospital, doors open at 6:00 p.m. to view the trees.

This will be at Seaside convention center at 415 First Ave. The second will be December 14th at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Presbyterian Church at 132 East Washington Street, Cannon Beach and the last one is Sunday December 16th at 3:00 p.m. at the Rockaway Community Church located at 400 South Third Ave. The local chorus members from our area are; Barbara Ayers, Anne Coopersmith, Richard Diller, Faith Dorothy, Terri Michelsen, Diane Erickson, Margaret Page, Dick and Kathy Park, Penny Eudy and Jane Wannell.

Admission is $10.00 for ages 17

and over (16 and younger are free); there will also be coffee, punch and cookies included for intermission. So check out the chorus and come see our local singers on December 16th.

Heard of a local company that has 100 rental houses available and during the Thanksgiving Holiday they only had two left to rent out! Amazing, sounds like the coast is a good place to say what your thankful for. I hope all of their friends and family had a safe journey home. No wonder it seemed busy here.

Well, if you are a hunter and had the second season hunt you are well aware of the downpours, and winds that knocked over so many trees -- many hunters were forced to go to "plan B" due to all of this -- so to them I hope you were able to get your elk or at least find where you will go next season, if this season was good -or if "plan B" worked out for you HURRAY! If not to you hunters I wish you luck next season.

I do not want to forget to say congratulations to Carly Erickson on getting accepted in the Clatsop RN program! Way to go! Carly is very determined girl who commutes back and forth through the flood waters in Seaside to get to classes. Keep up the good work Carly!

I do have one last note - My family would like to send our condolences to Mr. Kenny Erickson (Loretta Ericksons son, Gayle Stephens and Mark Erickson’s brother) on the loss of his wife Darlene, she made life fun and will be sorely missed by so many. our prayers are with you and your family.

Happy Birthday to Matthew Grimes, Marcy Stephens, Carly Erickson and Kristy Durr.

Anything out there, send it to me at hope9801@yahoo.com.

See you soon!

(the Locke house) on Bayocean Road. Betty died in 1996. Harold then moved to Vernal, Utah to be with his daughter. He bought a brand new house and lived there until May of this year. I see he was born on my birthday, February 16 - only in the year 1913.

Wish he could have lived until February 16, 2013. He would have been 100 years old then. Nothing wrong with living to 99 years though. Many fond memories here for Harold and his wife Betty.

Many condolences to Harold and Betty's family.

Another Cape Meares resident of several years was Ronald Kumlin. He moved to Cape Meares in 2,000 to be with his mother, Ann after his father Dick died. He often walked from Seventh Street to the beach and became acquainted with neighbors. He enjoyed beach combing with friends. His parents lived in Alaska many years and had bear skin rugs and wall hangings in their Cape Meares home. Ron continued to live in Cape Meares after Ann died.

Dick and Ann had a large garden in Cape Meares to tend to while they lived here and many of us will remember "Lucky" the beautiful and gentle German Shepherd dog that was usually seen laying on the front porch. Condolences to the Kumlin family.

The last storm we had left some damages to places and property here in Cape Meares.

Chris Spence informed me that a sliding door blew off the shed behind the Cape Meares Community Center building. Some red fiberglass panels are missing since the storm. Only one has

been recovered so far. They are 1' X 3.' They blew off the door. If you find them save for Chris Spence (503) 812-8971.

A neighbor's tree fell against a pole that fell into the Kinsman's mobile home on Fourth Street N.W. in Cape Meares.

The rest of the tree was cut down and branches and the trunk removed.

Margaret and Marcel Tweelinckx had part of their split rail fence go down. The fence was on the east side of their house.

I see a large branch broke from a tree on Fifth Street N. W., Cape Meares. It is on the southeast side of our property. Winds here must have been more than the 80 mph winds predicted by the weather forecast from Portland. We were without power for about 20 hours. I finally started a fire in the fireplace around 4 p.m. as the winds had died down considerably by then. Once in awhile a gust would be a strong blast, but by 5:30 p.m. the power came back on. A drenching rain came with the high winds. It has been a couple of nice days after the storm. Very quiet this afternoon so far, but we are to have 50 to 60 mph along the coast later today and rain starting in again and last for a week or so before any let up.

By the way, the spelling of the TV series coming up in January is Dontown Abbey - not Downtown Abbey.

The Nea-Rock Garden Club meets at Mikki Gruber’s on Wednesday, December 5. Wreath making that day, so bring any greenery, cones, ribbons, and other decorations to share and use on the wreaths. It is also a potluck. Bring food to share.

t’s been years since a personal tidbit shared in this space has inspired more than a dozen calls, emails or passersby to comment. Maggie, my new Chihuahua mix puppy is a popular conversation starter indeed -- so I’ll report that she played a central role for Thanksgiving company at our house, frolicking nonstop with four visiting dogs and their families. Guests included daughter Elise and son in law Adam (the impromptu plumber) Morrow with grandson Logan of Prineville. When Logan’s friends Taylor and Hannah Geil of Sandlake visited, the kitchen timer was required to tick off fifteen minute turns holding the face-licking furball. She slept like a log that night.

Speaking of happy social events, Hebo Women’s Book Club met recently at the creek side home of Patty Shurts of Neskowin. Guests admired her home’s lovely interior, remodeled from designs Patty drew up herself.

Besides me and our hostess, those gathered to discuss Siri Hustvedt’s The Summer without Men included: Sharon Kesey, Melanie Merryman, Ginny Rasmussen, Pat Sears, and Nancy Whitehead. We gave the volume very mixed reviews. Next we’re reading Major Pedigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson.

Calendar events include a chili cook off serving from 58:00 p.m. this Friday, December 7 at Nestucca Jr./Sr. High School to benefit technology in classrooms

district wide. The fundraiser is sponsored by the elementary school’s Partners in Education and Nestucca’s Jr.-Sr. High Boosters. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for kindergarten through 12th grade, and free for children under five.

This Sunday the Midway Chorus, under direction of Dr. Albert Thompson of Bay Shore Family Medicine in Pacific City, will perform Handel’s Messiah. I sing with the altos. The free concert happens at 3:00 p.m. at Salishan Lodge, 7760 U.S. Highway 101 North in Gleneden Beach.

Thanks to Sierra Lauder for word that the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership will be reviewing their project year at a 5:30 p.m. meeting on Monday, December 10th, at Tillamook Bay Community College. There are reportedly many South Tillamook County highlights such as new fish habitat, a macroinvertebrate monitoring effort, and video highlights from the Water Trail Speaker Series. Cookies will be served.

I appreciate Cathy Jones letting us know that Nestuuca Presbyterian’s next baked potato lunch is coming right up. It happens from 11:301:00 on Wednesday, December 12 in their Fellowship Hall on Brooten Road in Pacific City. $5 will get you a baked potato with a variety of toppings, drink and dessert.

This month's proceeds go toward the community Christmas baskets organized this year by the Nesko Women's Club and the Nestucca Valley Lion's Club. Cathy emphasized that they’d like to make it a good year, so our support is vital.

That same evening, Wednesday, December 12, Tawnya Crowe offers a free “Gingerbread Festival” cooking class for the entire family.

The lesson starts at 6:30 p.m. at Hebo Christian Center, 31350 U.S. Highway 101 in Hebo and participants will create one of a kind ginger-

bread people and houses. We are encouraged to bring candies or sprinkles to embellish the tasty goodies.

The following Wednesday, December 19, a walk-through of the Pacific City Airport is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Hosted by the staff of the Department of Aviation, Tillamook County Commissioners plan to participate and the public is invited. Pacific City’s airport is reportedly being considered for closure by the Department of Aviation as a means of reducing the state budget.

Tillamook County Commissioners meet at 5:00 that evening at Kiwanda Community Center. All are welcome.

Gordon McGraw, Tillamook Emergency Preparedness guru, offers the following advice for surviving winter storms: • Stay out of standing and moving water during a storm.

Currents can change quickly and even the strongest swimmers can drown.

• Don’t drive through standing water – even if the water appears to be shallow, your car can quickly be swept away.

• If you lose power at home, don't use gasoline or charcoal burning devices indoors including the basement or garage, or near a window, door or vent. Generators and heaters can cause the build-up of carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause death with few symptoms.

• Never make contact with power lines or objects that are in contact with power lines.

• Wear appropriate clothing, such as safety glasses, ear protection and heavy work gloves when cleaning up storm debris.

Happy Chanukah dear readers and happy birthday this week to: Nia Chatelain, Roberta Ferrington, Katie Hudspeth, Heather Inman, Nancy Love, Wyatt McKillip, Harold Niederer, Mitchell Richwine, Tony Riske, Tanya Traxler, and Steve Williams.

hat a pleasant Thanksgiving we had. The Christmas tree lighting was a glittering introduction to the holiday season. Singing filled the halls and Michael Simpson’s NKN Choir was a wonderful accompaniment. Then we shopped till we dropped strolling the fire sale. The choir was heard in Trash and Treasures performing for both Christmas and Hanukkah. We didn’t make it to all the stores, but bought some fun gifts.

Because of the rain we had ‘smoking’ fire barrels, and The Frugal Crow said their 50% off sale exhausted them because it was “a blinding success.”

We recently lost two terrific ladies in our community.

There was a “celebration of their lives” for Louis Ball and Alberta Abrahamson at the Elks on November 24th. They both worked at NKN for years and started the NKN Scholarship Fund on fundraisers. It sounds like they were terrific ladies and the neighborhood has suffered a great loss.

Mark on your calendars now! In January the Parks and Recreation Department will begin having their Sunday afternoon bingo at the community center. More information will be in future columns.

Speaking of bingo, the Lions now have bingo every Saturday night at the Lions Club in

oping everyone had a great Thanksgiving, with church members and families and community friends we had 52 people for a bountiful feast and lots of fun. I was able to visit with everyone there and made some great new friends.

I will be leaving shortly to do some missionary work at an orphanage in Mexico.

Although I barely know any Spanish I am hoping my smile conveys my happiness in being there. I will be going with my sister whom has a second home there so thankfully my expenses will be minimal. Even though I will be thrilled to be there I will be sorry to miss the celebration of life for Bob Wright at the Landing on Dec 1st. and I will miss helping with the Christmas Bazaar, Bake Sale and soup lunch at the Bay City Church on Saturday Dec 8th, also the Christmas Dinner for the VFW at City Hall on Dec 1st. I will miss going to the Nov. Bay City Boosters this month too. According to Gordon McCraw I will also be leaving in the midst of another wind storm. Gosh, I hope it is warm in Mexico. I am excited though that I will be back to tele-carol and potluck at the church on Dec 16th, at 5:30 pm in the fellowship hall downstairs. For those of you that don’t understand tele-caroling, we started it a couple years back because the weather here on the coast is not

NOTES FROM THE COAST Rockaway Beach from 610pm. This is a great way to visit with others in the town during these cold winter nights. And who knows, you could be the next big winner!

My family and I recently visited the library with our recipes from the Food Basket Marketplace in Garibaldi (be sure to save them for the library.) They have computers for your use, just call ahead to reserve a time, or just bring your computer in and use their complimentary wifi. It's a lot warmer than sitting in your car somewhere. It's really a nice place with lots of comfortable seating. Try it out.

While on the subject, with the holiday coming closer, don’t forget the Friends of the Library are having their gift sale. Stop by and check them out, or buy a membership gift for your loved one. You can never go wrong with that present.

Rich Riley sent me a little trivia. And I love trivia! When he lived in Neosho, Missouri his family frequently visited Rockaway Beach, Missouri.

So, out of curiosity he googled "Rockaway Beach" and has learned that 4 states have a Rockaway Beach.

They are Oregon, California, Missouri and New York. Cool huh?

We had several Mrs. Clauses and one Mr. working really hard to decorate the city hall for the holiday season!

Thanks to the Beautification Committee, Terry Walhood, Pat and Linda Olson and Myrna Riley our hall is a winter wonderland.

Folks, is it not truly “The most wonderful time of the year?” Let's deck our town in the Christmas spirit.

Am I to believe at the end I go to a big party where I know everyone and they laugh at my jokes and it lasts for a really long time and I never get a hangover?

Or do I live my life and do all this good stuff and I just die and someone does my makeup?

Or maybe I am a crystallization of the great energy flow and when I die I’m reabsorbed and don’t file taxes that year?

The point is, even if I lie in the floor and kick and scream it won’t make any difference. What will make a difference? Can I make my wife laugh today?

God is a comedian. It’s just hard to get him sometimes.

Gulley Jimson is dying. He starts to laugh because his paintings are hanging in the British Museum, but he doesn’t have enough money to buy brushes. A nun attending him said, you’d do best to pray instead of laugh.

Jimson said, same thing, Mother.

Now, where’s my rubber chicken?

chance of getting laid.

I know you haven’t seen the entire movie yet, but if you read the news you’ve heard how this all turns out. Some say it’s not a comedy.

A wise man said there is no greater sin than having too many expectations except for voting conservative. That doesn’t mean we don’t SCHUBERT plan so we won’t run out of Ding Dongs. Life is MOORE what happens while we’re making plans. And when I say, living in the future is death, I don’t mean we have to wear dark clothes.

Sometimes when I’m repairing something, I think where’s my rubber chicken?

No, wait, that’s not what I think. I think, what’s the point since it’s just going to break again? Well, for one thing, my wife told me to fix it. So I fix it and if one day it breaks again I’ll hit it with a rubber chicken.

You take care of each other, not because of some big paycheck in the future, but

my hands to breath so they don’t get too hot. I do go through several pairs in a season, but that may not be the case with your gardener who isn’t gardening every day. When I buy several pairs of gloves, I like to get them in the same color so I can match them once the fingers wear out. And they will wear out eventually if you work as hard as I do when I weed. They can be found in all the garden centers around Tillamook. Because they run between $5 and $7 a pair, they would be a good stocking stuffer.

Composting bins for the kitchen counter come in decorator versions now, too, not just the boring beige plastic ones.

But you can also splurge a little more and get an outdoor black plastic composter for about $35 from Tillamook’s Solid Waste Department. We generate so much compost at our house that we have two piles going, one in a bin and one in the brush pile.

Or your gardener might want to get into worm composting. By going online, you can find all sorts of up-to-date information about worms and you can even purchase worms for the worm bins.

There are a couple of books I can recommend this year.

Valerie Easton has written The

New Low-Maintenance Garden; How to Have a Beautiful Productive Garden and the Time to Enjoy It (Timber Press, 2009). I do take exception when Valerie says that “cottage gardens are outdated” because I don’t believe this type of garden will ever go out of style. But her plans to keep it simple, keep it small, use raised beds, and nurture the soil are all good ideas.

This may not be a good book for beginners, but at about $20, it’s a good addition to a reference library.

One of my favorite modern garden writers is Tracy Disabato-Aust and her 2009 book Fifty High Impact, Low-Care Garden Plants (Timber Press, $17) would be a good choice for beginning gardeners. A bit of a warning: as Tracy is from the Midwest, her 50 plants may not be ideal for our moderate climate. A true beginner may be better off with the American Horticultural Society’s Smart Garden Guide for the Northwest. This DK publication runs about $30, retail, but it is well worth it as it gives lists with information (and photos) according to growing conditions.

That should give you a good start. Next time, we’ll try some last minute gift ideas.

ne of the things I cherish most is a letter from my daughter-in-law asking me what I thought was the meaning of life. I think she was heavily sedated at the time, but I’m still counting it.

I’ve spent half my life thinking about that question, half my life preparing for the end by honking my rubber chicken and half my life wondering what would happen if I filled a balloon with gasoline and tied a match...wait, that’s another philosophical question.

Some tell me if we’re good, at the end of life we get a fat paycheck, a big cymbal crash and stick the landing.

When my wife was first diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease she kept wondering about the future. I said, living in the future is death so we agreed we wouldn’t live there.

Besides, the rents are terrible. If we can do a good job just for today, then we get a tiny little cymbal crash each day.

I’m more Asian in that regard, except for kim chee. I hate kim chee. I believe in little cymbal crashes every day. That’s why I help my wife, not for a big cymbal crash at the end, but for that little cymbal crash today when I make her laugh and increase the

As the year 2012 winds down into its last month, once again I find myself asking where time has gone. Its seems like only yesterday I was planting tomatoes in the hope that this year, unlike the past 10 years, will be the perfect year for growing tomatoes. An eternal optimist, I know.

Tillamook County artist, Dennis Worrel, featured in new show

BIRTHS

Theo Condor Blair Theo Condor Blair was born October 27, 2012 at Tillamook County General Hospital to Tabitha and Jim Blair of Tillamook.

Theo weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces.

Grandparents are Kathy Dirks of Tillamook, and Mike and Letha Blair of Tillamook.

Tillamook County artist Dennis Worrel and his Landscapes: On the Wet Side will be featured in a new show at the Newport Visual Arts Center (VAC).

An opening reception for the artist will be held from 5-7 pm December 8.

Refreshments will be served. The video of the artist’s technique and other work will be shown on the touch screen computer near the showcase.

Dennis Worrel has a Masters in Fine Arts from San Francisco Art Institute and has recently shown at Portland’s Gallery 114. Worrel was a member of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery for over 10 years.

His work is in many private and corporate collections in both California and Oregon.

About this new body of work, Worrel says, “These landscape paintings are of western Oregon, primarily the Oregon Coast Range. They are works on paper started outdoors and finished in the studio using mixed media including acrylic ink, fluid acrylic paint, graphite, and watercolor pencil. They were completed in the late summer and fall of 2012.

“I was brought to the town of Tillamook about fourteen years ago to work on the Northwest Forest Plan as a soil scientist. The job requires a good understanding of soil and landscapes relationships… one can find unexpected beauty, sometimes even awe-inspiring beauty, in these dense lush woods.

“Through these landscapes I hope to

convey a timeless sense of place where nature can exist in both experience and imagination.”

Worrel’s exhibit can be seen from December 8-29, 2012. The Showcase and video are available for viewing from 12-4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday on the second floor of the VAC. Located at 777 N. Beach Drive on the Nye Beach Turnaround, the VAC is also home to the Runyan and Upstairs Galleries.

It should come as no surprise that Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School teacher Cynthia Grelck was recently named the Oregon Small Schools Association Teacher of the Year for the 2012-13 school year. After all, teaching runs in her family.

That said, Grelck says she was “shocked” when she received the honor earlier in November. “I was really honored. It’s quite an accomplishment, but mostly, I was shocked,” says the 7th and 8th grade math instructor.

Grelck, who has taught for 22 years, made her way to the Neah-Kah-Nie School District after a nine-year stint as an elementary teacher at Detroit Lake. For Grelck, it was like coming home.

“My grandma was a teacher at Bay City and Nehalem, and my grandfather was a principal at Garibaldi. I grew up in Warrenton and just wanted to get back closer to my roots,” she said. “My mother taught at Warrenton for 30 plus years and my sister also teaches. I was exposed to the profession at a very young age, helping

Cynthia Grelck, a math instructor at Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School, has been named the Oregon Small Schools Association Teacher of the Year for 201213. my mom, and knew early on I wanted to be a teacher.”

Nominated by district officials in September, Grelck attended the breakfast awards ceremony in jeans and a sweatshirt, not anticipating she was going to be the recipient of this year’s award. For her, it was an honor just to be nomi-

nated.

“Cynthia is humble to a fault and was completely floored to even be nominated,” said NKN Middle School Principal Leo Lawyer. “When we attended the Oregon State School Board meeting three weekends ago (Nov. 10) for the awards assembly you

could tell by her body language that she was completely honored to be chosen.

“Cynthia has spent the majority of her time in our district at the elementary level, only recently moving up the middle school. She provided exemplary instruction at Nehalem and we already are seeing student learning increase due to her skills in the classroom,” Lawyer added.

According to Lawyer, the Teacher of the Year is selected after a very competitive process that encompassed all grade levels throughout the small schools association in Oregon. Prior to making the move to NKN Middle School, Grelck taught at Nehalem Elementary School for 11 years, teaching at all grade levels during that time. Most of that time, she says, was spent teaching second and third graders.

“She not only teaches,” says Lawyer, “she also coaches middle school volleyball, basketball, and is the head track coach at the high school.

She was named Northwest League Coach of the Year last season after her first year in the position.”

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Bobcat boys have the talent to make some noise this season

The Nestucca Bobcat boys basketball team has a lot to look forward to this season.

They have some great leadership with Austin Woods, Joey Chatelain and Max Kirkendall each returning to the team, despite losing seven seniors

last season.

The ‘Cats did lose plenty of talent to graduation including seven seniors, but they look like they have the tools to be far better than the under .500 team from last year.

The added pieces for this Bobcats’

team are new guys stepping into new roles – guys like Gage McCall with his height and athleticism, and players like Derek and Keenan Wenrick who will make massive impacts on the season. But, if there was one addition that will make the biggest difference for

the long-term health of the Bobcats’ program, it’s the addition of freshman Brett Elder.

Elder has grown up surrounded by sports, and his six-foot two-inch frame is solidly built, which brings a lot of potential to this season’s Bobcats.

“I want to see this team make the district playoffs,� said Bobcat head coach Jim Kiser. “If we play well as a team, we have a very good shot at it.�

Kiser echoed Pirates coach Steve Sherren’s feelings that the league has lost a lot of talent to graduation, and that might open up a door for others to enter the playoffs. “Gaston has a lot of big bodies and you never know what Vernonia will show up with, but they tend to find some big guys,� Kiser said. “We are a little smaller than I’d like, but we play aggressive defense.�

Bobcats look to produce a state champ Lady ‘Cats play team game with new coach

There’s enough talent on the Bobcats’ roster for them to play with anyone in the Northwest League this season. The question is whether they’ll execute.

third at state, and should be just as good this season if not better. Cody Fouche was at state last year and he’ll be back this season, as will Rich Roberts.

The biggest thing that hurts the Bobcats is the loss of Valery Silva to graduation. “We lose a lot of points from last year without Valery,� said Bobcat head coach Cameron Mitchem. “But I had nine eighth graders who wrestled last year, so we have some good new blood coming in to make up some of those points.�

Mitchem was surprised by the lower than normal number

of kids who came out this season, but he’s confident the kids he’s got are the ones he needed. “The way things are working right now, without a lot of kids, you could see it as a negative,� Mitchem explained. “But the kids that I do have out are the hardest workers and the ones that are going to stick it out until the end.

Because we don’t have the dead weight, we’re going to be able to work harder and progress faster.�

The Bobcats’ low numbers are probably going to keep them from a team title in districts, but Mitchem is happy if his guys perform to their full potential. “If our front line guys are getting to the finals like they should, I’ll be happy with that. “We’re going to have at least three guys ranked in the top two spots preseason, and I don’t see why this team can’t produce a state champion for the Bobcats.�

Sometimes changes can be for the worse. Other times, a change is needed and can make big improvements.

The Nestucca Lady Bobcats basketball team is in the middle of one of those changes, the results of which are yet to be seen.

This season the Lady Cats will be led by first year coach Yazminn Thompson. Thompson grew up in California playing basketball and now resides in Tierra Del Mar. She’s got an excited group of young women out to represent the Bobcats this season on the court, and she’s quite happy about what she’s seen so far. “This team has a lot of strengths, but one of their biggest strengths is they play very well together as a team,� Thompson said. “Sometimes it’s hard to get girls to get along, but these girls carry themselves well and they play basketball like it should be played, as a team, and they play hard.�

The Lady Cats’ only seniors this season are Patricia Hedrick along with Jasmin and Lacy Boisa.

They also have juniors Shanna Cox, Marissa Dempsey and Jackie Wilkinson to round out their older girls.

The team does have experience, but Thompson can see what her team is lacking. “We need to implement a few more plays and be good at running them,�

Thompson said. “We also need to work on our all around ball handling so we can run those

In the wrestling world, there are teams that are perpetually knocking on the doorstep of a league title. The Nestucca Bobcat wrestling team is one of those teams, and the 201213 season isn’t going to be an exception. The Bobcats are looking strong.

Last season the ‘Cats finished toward the bottom of their league, but that wasn’t an accurate representation of how good the Bobcats really were.

They ended up finishing in eighth place at state.

Of the Bobcats who made it to state, many are coming back this year. Drace Moeller and Lucas Leslie both finished

HIGH ‘HOOPES’ FOR LADY MOOKS

Last season’s Tillamook girls basketball team was one or two lucky bounces from a legitimate shot at the State Championship.

They made it to Corvallis and lost their first round game to the eventual state champions, the Henley Hornets, in a game they led until half way through the fourth quarter.

Needless to say, the pieces were there. Unfortunately, Tillamook graduated pieces such as Cowapa League Player of the Year and All State selection Cheyenne Hahn, three time All League athlete Sara Strang, as well as Brooke Klahn, Sandra Valincia and Ela Kranl.

If that wasn’t enough, the Cheesemakers will be without seniors Nikki Carney, Kalli Sherer and Marissa Zerngast for various reasons. But, the Lady ‘Mooks aren’t left without any returning contributors.

They still have one major piece coming back this season to help build a great team – Keleigh Hoopes.

“I’m going to expect a lot out of Keleigh this season as a team leader and as a player,” said Tillamook Head Coach Danielle Webber.

Hoops was excellent last year as a post for Tillamook. A six-foot two-inch frame mixed with ongoing aggression and confidence on the court made Hoopes a mismatch for almost everyone last year. With another year of experience under her belt, she could be one of the most dominant forces on the basketball court in the Cowapa League.

“I expect Keleigh to be tough for us inside and outside this season,” Weber said.

“We’re going to use her in a variety of ways this season.”

But the rest of the team is young and will need to elevate their game throughout the season if the Cheesemakers are going to contend for a league title.

“Having three seniors who were on the team last year not come out completely changed our roster,” Weber said. “We were a completely different team with the three of them, but we have some very good youngsters who will step into their shoes and fill the spots.”

Some of the younger players Weber is referring to include sophomores Taylor Woods, Kaylin Hammond and

Much of Tillamook’s hope rests on the capable shoulders of Senior Keleigh Hoopes.

the very tall and athletic Jamie Kottre.

“Kaylin with handle the ball for us a lot this year,” Weber explained. “Jamie is still learning the game, but she’s come a long way. Playing against Keleigh every day in practice gave her no choice but to get better and get tough.”

Tillamook is a long shot to win the league, but they have a very good chance of making a playoff run.

“I honestly think if we fight with attitude we’ll be in the hunt for the playoffs with Seaside and Banks and maybe Scappoose,” Weber said.

“They’re a good squad and they’re willing to work hard.”

Mook Wrestling seeks 8th straight district title

Senior Ron Allen knows how much hard work it’s going to take for Tillamook to win its third straight regional title.

If there was one word to describe Tillamook’s wrestling program, a good argument could be made for “dominant.”

The Cheesemakers wrestlers have ruled the Cowapa League over the last seven seasons, and because of that they’ve taken home seven straight league titles and two straight regional titles. This year, they’ll be gunning for their eighth. It’s not just earning the title that motivates the team. It’s losing it.

“Coach reminds us all the time that we’ve won seven titles in a row and we don’t want to be the team that breaks the streak,” said Tillamook junior wrestler Logan Weeks. “We’re going to be a good team again this year with lots of seniors, but just because you’re a senior doesn’t mean you get a spot.

You have to earn it on this team.”

The THS wrestling team has about 48 kids coming out, and does have a larger senior class that includes Hector Rojo, Jake Fowler, Marcus Cheney, Zack Motsinger and Ron Allen to name a few.

Head coach Lonnie Eggert sees what he need to see from the majority of his

team to keep winning, but there’s a lot of extra work that needs to be done if the team is going to get on the podium at state.

“They should repeat at districts and regionals,” Eggert said. “State is up to them. They’re going to need to compete all season long and not just do what we ask them to do in practice. They need to take it on themselves outside of practice to get better.

“For this team to get on that podium at state, we’re also going to have to be the kind of team that wins close matches. We’re going to have to win a lot by one point.”

Eggert said the team did lose some good wrestlers to graduation including Tucker Cook, Travis Martin, Jed Coon, Dylan Hayse and Tad Lovely. But he also said the guys he’s got can fill in those holes if they’re motivated to do it.

“We’re going to put a good line up out there,” Eggert said. “I tell them to work hard and most of them do. I also tell them I don’t remember all the kids and the teams that won all those district titles, but I know I’ll remember the first one that doesn’t.”

Anytime a basketball team loses someone like three-time All State player Jordan Schriber, there’s a hole to fill – especially when the team has also lost All League players Trever Cooley and Trent Harp, a former seniors Grant Rocha Seth Motsinger and Travis Harp.

But Tillamook boys basketball coach Greg Werner is looking forward to getting the season underway with the squad he has coming out this season.

“We lost some experience and guys that already knew the system, which is always hard, but we have a great group coming this year that already has a lot of team chemistry,” Werner said. “We aren’t going to be the kind of team that has a single star player. We’re going to be the kind of team where one guy might have a big night for us one game and the next game it’s somebody else stepping up.”

A few of the guys that should be make huge contributions to the 2012-13 Tillamook team are seniors Nate McRae, Jacob Hurliman and Matt Travers. Each of them have been in the program and know how Cheesemaker Basketball is supposed to be played.

Besides the seniors, returners such as Joey Hancock, Matt Strang and David Waud

are all capable of not only playing great basketball night in and night out, but exploding for a monster night every time they step into a gym.

“We’re a really deep team this year and this could be one of the hardest working teams I’ve had the pleasure of coaching,” Werner said. “So often the best ball players on the court are the guys who are the hardest workers. You can encourage, coach and support your players, but ultimately effort and desire comes from the players. Some guys just have it and others don’t. This group is loaded with it.”

It seems as if the ‘Mooks have the mentality of a team that can compete for a Cowapa League title, but Werner also believes this team has the necessary piece to seriously contend for the league championship.

“This group really works well together and we have tons of versatility,” Werner said. “We have guys like Matt Strang and Matt Travers who are very interchangeable depending on if we need more offense and rebounding or we’re looking for more of a scorer.

“And we have Joey at guard who can play the one or the two. Having guys that can move around is very useful depending on the needs.

“As far as goal for this year’s team, I think we can

battle for a league title. Our goal is always to win the Cowapa, get to Gill Coliseum in Corvallis and be playing on the last day of the state tournament.”

Werner explained that Tillamook Basketball is focused on the little things, and if those little things are done, it adds up to big things.

“I’m excited to coach this group because there doesn’t seem to be any ‘I’ on this team, but there are a lot of guys looking to work together to get wins.”

Romig and Quintana lead Pirates under new head coach

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, December 5, 2012 - Page B3

The Pirate wrestling team has some peaks and valleys in store for the 2012-13 season.

They lost a few great wrestlers in the form of Austin Cherry, who took third at state; Ben Purcell, who barely missed placing at state; and Jasper Kamerer, who transferred to Elmira.

What the Pirates do have are a few excellent wrestlers coming back and a new head coach in Don Zellner. Kids such as Logan Romig, who took fourth in state, and Matt Clayton, who took third in state are returning. They also have second place at state finisher Alejandro Quintana, along with Jorden Bowden and their lone girl, Rebecca Savage.

The problem is, the team only has 16 kids this year, so there will be voids in the lineup. But Coach Zellner isn’t worried. He knows the wrestlers he has will be great.

“With only five returning wrestlers from last year, it is too early to predict how well we will do in the regular season,� Zellner said. “However, with three returning state placers I would expect a top 10 finish at the state tournament if everyone works hard and keeps getting better.�

Last year the team took fifth at state – an outstanding finish considering the small numbers.

But there’s always the question of how the season will go when you have a new head coach. “I don’t expect to have any difficulty transitioning into the head coaching position,� Zelner said. “I have eight years experience as a head wrestling coach at Gervais High School, and I was the assistant coach here last year. “Right now I see us as a top ten team at the state tournament this year. Alejandro and Logan have both looked good so far in practice, and I expect them to

challenge for individual championships. It just depends on how hard we work and how well we wrestle at the end of the year.

Graduation leaves hole in NKN girls basketball

Execution can lead Pirates to playoffs The Pirates are an athletic squad this season. If they execute, they have a shot at the Northwest League playoffs.

The 2012-13 Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates boys basketball team has one big issue they need to address. Can they fill in the shoes of last year’s senior leader, Scott Porter?

Not to mention Jared Darby, Mike Maizel, Wyatt Drake, Tyson Jacobson and Brad Winsted, who have all left the team.

Fortunately, they have a few great players coming back that should not only fill the shoes, but possibly put the Pirates ahead of the 5-11 league record they ended with last season. “The guys we have this season have been in the program for a few years so they have experience, but they do have limited time at the varsity level,� said Pirate basketball coach Steve Sherren. “One thing about this team is that they do have a better work ethic than last year’s team, and they play well as a team. “The guys on this year’s team know there’s no Scott Porter or other guy who’s going

to provide most the scoring.

Everyone on this team is ready to contribute where they can. If that’s rebounding, scoring or passing, they’ll do it.�

There are a few returners to this year’s team that were unable to play last year. Austin Buckmeier and Tanner Repass were both injured last season, but they’ll be in action this year.

The Pirates also have Craig Grasseth, Lair Tuel, Brad Watson and Eldon Hurder returning to the roster. They all know the game and know how Sherren likes them to play it.

Between the athleticism the returning players, the Pirates have high hopes for the season’s outcome. “I think that we will be competitive by the time we reach league,� said Pirate senior Craig Grasseth. “Maybe not league champs, but a playoff team maybe. That’s our goal.�

Coach Sherren thinks Grasseth’s goal of a playoff spot is

well within this team’s reach if they do the right things on the court. “There’s no Scott Porter on this year’s team,� Sherren said. “But, last year’s team didn’t execute well and it cost us.

Hopefully this team will execute better.�

The Neah-Kah-Nie Lady Pirates basketball team has a hole to fill this season like none they’ve had to fill before.

Last year, they graduated one of the best basketball players and all around athletes to ever come through Neah-Kah-Nie – Alexis Anderson.

Anderson was a major scorer and rebounder for the Pirates team and she’ll be missed.

If that wasn’t enough, the Pirates also lost another stud athlete in Shelby Porter. But, last season’s team only went 6-10 in league play, so Pirate head coach Cory Douma thinks this year’s team can fill those voids in a different way. “First of all, we’re going to have to find some scorers,� Douma said. “We have no seniors on this year’s team with 16 girls out for basketball and eight of them being freshmen. We do have a lot of juniors, though.�

A few of the juniors Douma referred to are all top notch players and will make huge impacts for the Pirates this season. Juniors such as Christina Burdick, Taylor Winder, Dana Moore and Tasha Maybe-DeRoast will take to the court.

Besides the junior class, there will be a lot of younger girls getting time this year for the Lady Pirates, and Douma sees that as good for the future of the program. “It’s going to be the first time playing big minutes for a lot of these girls, but we had great summer practice,�

Douma said. “I really saw

the team chemistry this summer and I think this particular group of girls is capable of a lot.�

A run into the playoffs and ultimately a state title is the dream of every coach, but this year’s Pirate squad is going to taker it one game at a time. “It’s going to be a fun year,� Douma explained. “It’d be great to get a spot in the playoffs, but we’re so young this year we’re really looking at growing and becoming better basketball players. But, they’re young and hungry and we’re looking for success this season and for years to come.�

Tillamook’s swim team looking strong and getting stronger Emily Reiback is phenomenal for her age, and Bush is excited about her potential. “She’s a firehouse,� Bush said. “She’s good at all her strokes so I can put her anywhere. She might be the fastest swimmer I have.�

The girls team has the addition of senior Nikki Carney, who after a break from swimming, is back to form. Sabrina Pullman, Andie Putman, Amber O’Brien, Sydney Colette and senior Kara Moore also strengthen the team.

Bush is looking forward to his team’s potential at districts and thinks if they peak at the right time, they’ll do well. “These first few weeks I just want the kids to get swimming and comfortable and not worry about where they finish,� Bush said. “Districts is where we’re really going to come through.�

The THS swim team is making strides in the right direction.

Besides already having a some excellent swimmers on the team, they are continuing to add members from the YMCA Sharks junior programs. “I’m starting to see these kids moving up from the Sharks and they’re already talented,� said THS swim coach Todd Bush. “It’s only going to get better from here.�

The boys team is going to be held down by senior Alex Lindstrom and the team’s best swimmer, Dylan Tohl. “At districts this season, Dylan is going to be alright and hopefully a top six swimmer at state,� Bush said. “He’s going to have to work hard to get there, but I’m not saying he can’t. He could be one of the best out there.�

MELLOW AND FRIENDLY Calista is the perfect lap cat. She’s very calm, mellow and friendly with everyone, even strangers and other cats. She has lived indoors all her life and would do well in a home with other cats, because she has no desire to be dominant. She is a gray tabby, and has been spayed, is current with shots, litter box trained and would make a perfect companion. Napping in a lap is her favorite thing to do.
