Locals beg visitors to hold off on spring break vacations O

Oregon primary election continues as planned

Chelsea Yarnell For the Herald

n the first day of spring break, fellow Oregonians and visitors from out of state thought there would be adequate space for social distancing at the coast.

Vast hiking trails. Wide, sandy beaches. And somewhat unfortunately, spectacular weather. The perfect place to get away from the chaos and lessen the chance of exposure to COVID-19.

One problem: thousands of people had the same idea.

Local Tillamook Coasters uploaded videos and photos from popular tourist locations showing crowded beaches and parking lots so full that people opted to park alongside the road.

This comes only a day after Gov. Kate Brown announced the state’s new policy of “Stay Home, Stay Healthy.” While the policy is somewhat vague, it does emphasize Oregonians and visitors should only leave home for essential reasons.

The wave of coastal visitors is prompting local leaders to act.

“As mayor of the City of Tillamook it’s my job to be the voice of my constituents. And that usually means encouraging people from all around the world to visit our community,” Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber said on a social media video broadcast Saturday, March 21.

“Our community is small, and our resources are few.

Our hospital has a fraction of supplies and beds of those in the Portland metro area. Our community is not equipped

month to month.

An emergency meeting by phone of the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners was held Sunday, March 22, to discuss the matter. The meeting began with an update from State Sen. Betsy Johnson, who

regon’s May 19 primary election will continue as planned, Oregon Secretary of State Bev Clarno said Thursday, March 19, in a press release. The certified list of 371 candidates that filed to run for office has been sent to the county election experts.

Ballots for military and overseas voters will be mailed out no later than Saturday, April 4, and regular ballots will be mailed out starting April 29.

“Because Oregon votes by mail, we do not have to be concerned about social distancing issues at polling places that so many other states are struggling with,” Clarno said the release. “Many states are looking to implement our vote by mail system as a safer way to conduct elections in November.”

States that have postponed their primary elections include: Ohio, Connecticut, Maryland, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, Georgia, Louisiana, Wyoming.

Primaries serve two main purposes. The first is for all voters to be able to cast ballots for candidates for nonpartisan offices like judges and some county and other local offices. The second is for the voters registered with a major political party to select their nominees for partisan office like U.S. President, Oregon Secretary of State, Treasurer and Attorney General and legislators at both the state and national level.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are running in the primary. Registered Democrats will have the two candidates on their ballots.

In the local arena, running for Tillamook County Sheriff are Josh Brown and Gordon McCraw, which will only be on the November 2020 ballot. Tassi O’Neil is running for Tillamook County Clerk, which will only be on the November ballot as well, and Denise Vandecoevering is run-

acing the potential spread of coronavirus, county officials are taking significant action to stop the flow of tourists during spring break. Much of Tillamook County was already closed for business after

the state banned large gatherings and limited service from restaurants and bars.

On Monday, March 23, Tillamook County is closing parks and campgrounds as well as day-use areas in privately owned, county, state and federal parks except to those who live there full-time and pay

oronavirus testing is happening in Tillamook County, but it is not clear how many people are waiting for results or how many test kits are available locally.

The virus has claimed five lives in Oregon, with 191 cases reported in the state Monday, and 56 hospitalized for treatment. No COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the county as of

press time. Nine tests have come back negative, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Officials and medical staff cannot say how many test kits are available in the county because each health facility has its own supply, according to Marlene Putman, administrator, Tillamook County Community Health Centers.

hrough Executive Order 20-08, Gov. Kate Brown ordered public schools to remain closed to students from March 16 through April 28, unless that period is extended or terminated earlier by the governor.

Neah-Kah-Nie (NKN) School District plans to provide supplemental learning to its students.

Superintedent Paul Erlebach said the supplemental learning will be a combination of online learning and packets. The district has had one on one Chromebook student capacity for seven years, grade second to 12th grade. This provides laptops to students who do not have computers at home. Students are likely better positioned than other districts, Erlebach said.

“We’re excited about the opportunity,” Erlebach said. “It’s going to be a new endeavor for us.”

NKN School District is constantly reviewing and prioritizing essential and non-essential services, Erlebach said in a parent letter on Friday, March 20. With over 50 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced meals, ensuring that all children have breakfast and lunch is a top priority.

The school district began providing breakfast and lunch to students on Monday, March 16. Erlebach said

they will expand that on April 4.

“It’s not just about education, it’s about feeding students too,” Erlebach said.

Selected NKN staff and administrators are collaborating with Northwest Regional Education Service District’s (NWRESD) to develop a tentative plan to provide remote learning. Administrators work on a plan to teach using instructional packets. Schools are beginning to identify students who do not have internet access.

Erlebach said the district is looking at internet hotspot capacity for those students who do not have internet access.

“We do have Chromebooks, laptops, for every student,” Erlebach said.

“The thing is, we need to do a survey to see who has internet at home, who doesn’t, who has a laptop at home and who doesn’t.”

From March 30 to April 3, licensed and classified staff will receive professional development on remote learning and use of supporting supplemental instructional materials. The supplemental learning and instructional packet plan will be implemented on April 6.

n Locals Continued from Page A1 to handle a significant health crisis with tens of thousands of additional people,” Weber said. “The COVID-19 pandemic is not just an opportunity for a traveling vacation, it is a threat to our lives … if you are visiting for non-essential reasons, pack your bags and leave immediately.”

Locals on the Tillamook Coast took to social media encouraging other locals to petition the governor for assistance with the problem, citing the influx in visitors that is increasing the risk of coronavirus exposure.

“They’re very upset; I have been fielding calls literally all day long,” State Sen. Betsy Johnson said.

“I’m trying to respond but the volume of calls is getting to the point where I’m overwhelmed. The gist of the calls are all the same: we as responsible Oregonians heeded the shutdown at great personal and financial detriments to ourselves.”

“After Oregonians took these very painful steps, they have been inundated with visitors largely from Washington, and to a lesser degree from California, and a goodly number from Portland,” Johnson said. “The argument from the Portland people is if Ted Wheeler is going to shutdown Portland, we might as well shelter in place in some nice, beautiful spot next to the ocean. The problem is they’re gathering to get takeout food, sitting at picnic tables, eating, their kids are playing.”

Local photos shared online also included a full parking lot at Cape Kiwanda. Right next door, the very popular Pelican Pub chose to act.

“Based upon the most recent information, we believe the right thing to do is to close all Pelican Brewing locations immediately to help control the spread of COVID-19 and protect our employees, our community, and the greater good,” Pelican wrote on social media Saturday. “If everyone does their part, this will be more likely to be short-lived and that is the reason we’ve made this decision—we want to be part of the solution.”

Visit Tillamook Coast Director Nan Devlin also took to social media encouraging people to heed

the warnings from health officials.

“Oregon’s north coast is inundated with visitors from several states,” Devlin wrote. “Normally we would welcome and invite that, but these are not normal times. Please respect the health of our community and safety of our public places. Practice social distancing now. Visit us when it is safe to do so. We will welcome you with open arms.”

Not only has the vast number of people caused angst amongst locals, but also where visitors are coming from is an issue.

“They feel they are vulnerable and exposed and at risk by visitors that are coming from someplace else that has had a high mortality rate, that would be the state of Washington, and descending on coastal resources,” Johnson said.

“And the places that would normally accommodate the tourist, that are now not open, is changing the flow of where the tourists are going and what they’re doing. I’m told by constituents that pictures of Highway 26 coming to the beach was literally car-to-car.”

Visitors’ medical needs and shopping habits are only adding to the concern.

“If there is a run of the virus and people are hospitalized, our little healthcare system would be swamped,” Johnson said.

“There has already been a significant run on commodities … with visitors coming and continuing to shop in grocery stores that are depleted of commodities, the visitors are taking up resources that the locals

Johnson called for visitors and locals to practice responsible behavior.

heard from numerous constituents ranging from concerned to angry about the swell of outsiders flocking to small towns along the Oregon Coast.

Other elected coastal officials reported similar experiences. One immediate solution that was suggested was stopping shortterm rentals, anything less than 28 days. Some hotels and motels have already shuttered temporarily as COVID-19 spreads across the state.

Commissioner Bill Baertlein suggested closing public access at all parks in the area. Commissioner David Yamamoto said a tour of the county Saturday revealed cramped campgrounds and huge crowds at recreational sites. Commissioner Mary Faith Bell also reported a massive tourist influx. All three commissioners supported closing county, state and federal campgrounds and day-use parks.

Early efforts to close some recreational areas seemed to push visitors to what remained open, causing overflows of parking and people at most beach towns and shorelines Friday and Saturday. County officials discussed pushing up timelines for recreational areas that planned to close during the week such as Sandlake, potentially giving an immediate 24-hour notice to vacate.

Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office plans to enact 24-hour shifts to enforce the closures. Sheriff Jim Horton said deputies could give campers 12 hours to clear out if necessary.

Concrete barriers would be brought in to shut down access to campgrounds and parks.

State Rep. David Gomberg expressed concerns about displacing homeless people who might be camping in parks. State Rep. David Brock Smith asked about the impact on low-income residents who live in some campgrounds.

Baertlein said there could possibly be a compassion clause allowing long-term campground residents to remain in place.

Closing parking areas at public boat launches and marinas was also discussed. Yamamoto was worried that a possible seafood import shortage could arise, making local commercial fishing even more crucial. Commercial fishing would not be restricted.

Stopping people from parking at and near beach access points was next on the list. County officials said while they cannot close the beach, access and parking could be restricted.

To aid that, it was suggested that parking be banned temporarily on all county roads, though enforcement could be difficult.

Elected officials from other counties voiced concerns about freedom of movement for medical workers, short-term rentals for those in the trucking industry, and boat launch access for commercial fishermen. There was also concern that the closures would deflect the flow of tourists into counties that have not enacted restrictions on tourism, causing them to overload.

Commissioners directed staff to draft a resolution for a vote later in the day.

Yamamoto said he expects most cities will follow the county’s lead and adopt its measures.

Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber said she would be working on the boat ramp and motels for the City of Tillamook.

Public access restrictions

were spotted at the wayside, playground and main beach access in Rockaway Beach Sunday morning as well.

Manzanita approved a resolution Sunday prohibiting short-term rentals until the state of emergency passes. Hotels are closed expect for those registered longer than 30 days, with no new long-term rentals.

Visitors were given until noon Monday to leave town.

When they reconvened, the board of commissioners voted unanimously to approve the resolution and to enact the restrictions effective noon Monday.

The resolution pushes the local state of emergency to April 28 unless further extended, closes county, state and federal parks in Tillamook County, county parking lots, county beach access and certain roadside parking areas, public boat launches except for commercial fishing, and all transient lodging facilities – hotels, motels, short-term vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts, RV parks and campgrounds, all closed expect to guests registered longer than 30 days, essential personnel and emergency responders.

“We have not had a single case of COVID-19 here,” Yamamoto said.

“Our intent is to keep it that way.”

The commissioners released a statement after the vote saying they acted in response to the public health emergency presented by COVID-19.

“COVID-19 represents and unprecedented threat to public health the likes of which has not been seen in the past 100 years,” the statement said. “The severity of the threat to life, health and safety calls for extreme measures and immediate action.”

“We care deeply about the economic resilience of our lodging providers and businesses in the tourism sector and are grateful for their sacrifices for the protection of their employees, guests and the community at large,” the statement said. “We ask the community’s support and forbearance as the outdoor recreation opportunities that we all value including parks, beach access and boat launches are closed to us all.”

The mayors of Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, Bay City and Tillamook were among those who supported the resolution and thanked the board of commissioners for acting. Tillamook County Emergency Manager Gordon McCraw also supported the resolution.

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District closed beach access in Pacific Sunday prior to the commissioner’s vote. Port of Garibaldi is working on locking down its facilities except for commercial fishing purposes.

Gov. Kate Brown again Sunday urged for an end to crowds in public places during spring break, but she has not officially ordered people to stay home.

She said people should “stay home, stay healthy,” and has banned large gatherings, reduced restaurants and bars to carry out or delivery, and closed schools because of the coronavirus.

Brown lamented on social media that despite her request to stay home, Oregon trails and beaches were packed this weekend.

She acknowledged it was difficult but said it was a “matter of life or death.”

As of Saturday, March 21, 138 in Oregon have tested positive for COVID-19 and four people have died. No cases have been confirmed in Tillamook County.

t the March 16 City of Tillamook Council Meeting, the council made an emergency declaration pertaining to the COVID-19 virus.

Several measures will be put in effect immediately and remain in effect until March 30.

These measures will be extended week by week as the emergency persists.

• This emergency pertains to the Tillamook City limits and the Urban Growth Boundary of the City.

• The City of Tillamook officials are committed to making every effort to stop and prevent the spread of the virus to citizens. The City encourages everyone to limit contact with other

only by calling 503-3741824.

• The City Public Works Department will have limited operations during this emergency.

• The City Police Department will be fully operational during this emergency.

Mayor Suzanne Weber explained that limited operations for the Public Works Department means “mostly maintenance, and small jobs that don’t require to many people.”

“The water people are concentrating on water and the sewer folks on sewer,” Weber said. “In other words, no big projects that require a larger workforce. Also, it is perfect pot hole patching weather.”

Any changes to the above-mentioned measures pertaining to this emergency will be updated on the City’s website at www.tillamookor.gov.

Include unemployment insurance changes to COVID-19 response With layoffs and quarantines looming from the COVID-19 pandemic, Oregon policymakers should modify the state’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) program to help workers and businesses cope with the crisis, according to a new report by Oregon Center for Public Policy.

“The COVID-19 pandemic threatens not only the health, but also the economic well-being of Oregon families, especially those living paycheck-to-paycheck,” said Center policy analyst Janet Bauer. “One of the steps Oregon can take to help workers and businesses weather this crisis is making certain changes to Unemployment Insurance.”

One of the changes the report recommends is to extend UI benefits to workers who are quarantined. While

Oregon law provides for paid sick leave, the Center noted that the law does not cover all workers, and those covered at most can accrue five days of paid sick leave in a year. That is not enough to cover a 14day quarantine, what health experts consider reasonable, the report said.

“Our UI system can fill the gap,” Bauer said. “Extending UI benefits to quarantined workers would help families cover the bills during this time of crisis, making it more likely that workers would be able to carry out the quarantine.”

Because greater use of unemployment benefits by workers means higher UI tax rates for employers, the Center also called on the state to waive UI rate increases during the period of emergency.

The report proposed

several other changes to the UI program. These included eliminating the rule of not paying benefits during the first week when workers meet all the conditions of the UI program, the so-called “waiting week” rule; suspending during this time of emergency the requirement that laid off workers search for work; and temporarily amending the definition of “good cause” to quit a job.

The report also urged the state to promote Oregon’s Work Share program, which can help both employers and workers during an economic downturn. Under Work Share, instead of laying off some employees, an employer needing to reduce staff cuts the hours for a group of workers, who then receive partial

restrictions threaten their very livelihood. Restaurant and coffee shop owners and workers are in this latter category.

One small way in which we can help these neighbors is to continue to patronize those that offer a takeout service.

GUEST COLUMN

JOSH BROWN This recent COVID-19 health crisis is unprecedented, and our country, state, and local governments have taken valuable steps to slow it’s spread. In one way or another everyone has been affected by these steps, some more than others. I will admit the situation has taken me aback and it has caused me to think about my priorities. The health and wellbeing of my family, friends and neighbors, as well as our community as a whole have always been important to me, but suddenly, this has been propelled to the top of my priority list.

As many may already know, I am running for Tillamook County Sheriff. I have been actively campaigning during these early stages of the election and many recognize that this election year is an important one, with two county commissioner positions, county sheriff, the Presidency, state representatives and many more open. As I attempt to figure out where campaigning falls on the priority list, I realize that it has moved down, and our community has become a far more important concern. We all understand the importance of elections and I’m sure none of us will be forgetting this valuable process, but until this crisis is in hand, it’s easy to set my campaign into a slower speed while we take care of ourselves and our community.

As I work through all of this, I’m reminded of something that I have always known: the citizens that make up Tillamook County are phenomonal. The support and offers of assistance have been pouring out in

n Letters Continued from Page A4 e-mail and surfing the web.

Being online can include watching movies, video conferencing, playing online games and transferring large files. We first connected to the Internet by attaching a modem to a voice telephone line. When web sites exploded what we called “Dialup” just wasn’t fast enough, web pages took forever to load. The phone companies came to the rescue with DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) which was a vast improvement in speed and also meant when you were on line you could still talk on the phone. The cable companies, not to be outdone also provided internet access.

Today, in a modern household with several laptops, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, game consoles and a TV or two streaming Netflix and other services the load on a DSL or Cable is severely stressed. You can see this with drop outs and other artifacts.

What is wanted is more bandwidth, a fatter pipe to provide more data with no delays. The solution is a technology known as fiber optic broadband.

It would be nice if we had fiber optic access available here in Tillamook County.

After all here along the coast of Tillamook we have several transpacific long distance fiber optic cables exchanging data with Hawaii, Japan, New Zealand etc. these go to the big data centers that provide users with access to web pages, movie streaming etc.

But we do have fiber available it just has not been made affordable to the residents of Tillamook. The fiber is owned by an Inter Government Agency and known as Tillamook Light Wave (TLW). The three agencies are Tillamook People’s Utility District (TPUD), the County Government of Tillamook and the Port of Tillamook Bay (POTB). They provide high speed fiber optic Internet access to the Court building, the Adventist hospital, schools,

spades. There are already multiple Facebook groups that have been created specifically for helping local residents and local businesses.

Tillamook Chamber has created “Tillamook Coast Takeout + Dining,” and a friend of mine started “Tillamook County Community Support.” Tillamook Chamber’s page is doing an amazing job promoting local resturants, cafes and coffee shops to help them maintain a level of business. The Community Support page is dedicated to helping residents that may need items purchased, picked up, delivered and more. These are just a few examples of our community stepping up to help in anyway they can.

This weekend our commissioners listened to the voices of many community members and took very bold action to protect our people by shutting down certain and specific areas that are busy tourist locations. I have seen first-hand a vast number of visitors from out of state and out of county visiting our small and beautiful community and tax our resources. I know that many citizens are very happy with this step to protect our county, but some have also expressed opposition. However, I do believe that the safety of Tillamook County residents is the top priority of our elected leaders and their decision was no doubt a difficult one.

As we move through these uncertain times please remember that there are people that need our help and there are people willing to help. We have always been an amazing community and without a doubt, always will be.

Josh Brown is a candidate for Tillamook County Sheriff

libraries, Cell towers, the city halls of several cities, the 911 building etc. There are a few large customers, but not many.

According to the Tillamook Light Wave web site, they are in the business of providing affordable high speed telecommunications.

What will it take to provide easy affordable high speed access to the good burghers of Tillamook? What could be done is Tillamook Light Wave could become a “Municipal ISP” (Internet Service Provider). There are several municipal ISPs here in Oregon: Sandy, Independent, and Douglas are some. There are municipal ISPs across the US and in much of Europe. Some municipal ISPs are run by cities, some by Power Companies and in California there is one which is the Mendocino School district.

Municipal ISPs tend to be in rural areas and they help close the Urban Rural divide.

When high speed internet comes to the rural areas, working at home and attracting companies doing back office work becomes attractive.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) estimate that bringing high speed fiber optic Internet access to Tillamook County would increase the income of the county by twenty million dollars.

Right now TPUD do the billing and accounting for Tillamook Light Wave. They are also ideally placed to be an ISP and phone company.

Here are the reasons: They currently own the utility poles that connect power to every dwelling and building in Tillamook county. They have a billing system in place. They have a customer list. They own bucket trucks to attach the fiber to the poles. They are a known quantity to the residents of Tillamook County.

Power companies across the US are in the business of Internet access.

I am a telecommunications engineer and will be happy to answer questions and provide help.

Thank you

Nestucca Fire I want to thank the Nestucca Rural Fire Department for their speedy response to a car accident my sister had last week. They were at the scene in minutes and promptly shut off a damaged propane line and rescued my sister’s dog from the back of the car. Nobody was hurt, but it was a potentially dangerous situation and they acted with cool professionalism. We are all lucky to have them in our community. Thank you.

Rejecting science creates risk Sometimes, amid the confusion, moments of clarity arise. Regrettably, the coronavirus pandemic provides us with one such moment.

Trump and his cult followers reject science and try to convince Americans that all is well. He maintains that what the medical experts tell us is wrong. His method is “spin & sell;” never direct and honest.

On March 15 he said “Relax, we’re doing great. This all will pass.” We are confronted daily by the evidence that science denial is the path to disaster.

When we look at the small but vocal minority who argue climate science consensus is a myth, we find the same array of individuals. These include birthers; Holocaust deniers; Nazi apologists; chemtrail advocates; flat Earthers; and all manner of conspiracy hoax lunatics who reject science but simultaneously cling to any cockamamie nonsense that comes along and appeals to their weird contrarian world view.

Those, like Trump, who reject medical science place our nation at immediate risk.

Those rejecting climate science place our planet at risk and compromise life for our children and grandchildren.

Shun them.

Social Distancing and Sheltering in Place... What are they and Why are they important?

VICTORIA HOLT Coronavirus protection: social distancing and sheltering in place The coronavirus pandemic is moving fast, and information has proliferated quickly as well. How to sort it all out? Look first to established governmental sources for accurate information.

The Oregon Health Authority’s Coronavirus Update from March 17, 2020 is a great source of information on how to deal with coronavirus in Oregon. Here’s the link for that update: Social distancing (keeping at least 6 feet away from other people) is at the heart of the OHA message. Strict and consistent social distancing will slow the spread of disease so that our health care system is not swamped by a sudden spike in cases, and more will survive. This is particularly important here on the coast, where we have limited health care resources.

Here are the important ways to maintain social distance to protect your health and that of others in our Nehalem Bay community.

DO: · Stay 6 feet away from other people – no hand shakes, no hugs · Work from home if you can, conduct meetings by video conference · Call before you go to a store (Are they open? Do they have what you need?) and minimize trips · When you are out, wipe

While some of the changes proposed in the report could be done administratively, Bauer said others likely

down any surfaces before you come into contact with them · Wash your hands thoroughly when you return · Go outdoors for fresh air and exercise – walk your dog on the beach, go for a hike or bike ride · Find new ways to keep in touch with friends and family – set up a chat group · Check the source of any coronavirus information you find – look first to the CDC website (www.cdc.gov) and the Oregon Health Authority website (www.oregon.gov/ oha).

DON’T: · Get in a car, bus or train or other confined space with non-household members · Go to stores during crowded times · Go out at all if you are sick – avoid all contact with others · Show up at your health care provider’s office unannounced – call first for instructions Sheltering in place has become a recent addition to public health recommendations to slow coronavirus spread. For instance, in the San Francisco Bay area residents have been told to stay inside their homes and away from others as much as possible for the next three weeks. This is an expansion of social distancing, and may also be appropriate for our community members who are over 60 or have underlying medical conditions. require the legislature to convene in a special session.

“The health and economic crisis posed by COVID-19 requires state action to protect families and businesses,” Bauer said. “We urge the Governor to act within her authority to strengthen the state’s UI system and, if necessary, call a special session promptly.”

People who are sheltering in place stay at home and avoid even small social interactions. Going outdoors for exercise is still encouraged, as long as it is done alone or with close family, and a 6 foot distance is kept from all others. In the San Francisco Bay area older people and those with underlying health problems are being told to stay inside at all times except for health care visits, and to ask someone to shop for them.

Italy has been under a sheltering in place lockdown since March 9, 2020.

We may be able to learn from Italians’ experience. A short video detailing what several Italians from across the country wish they had known about the epidemic before the lockdown, and what they want Americans to know now may be instructional. It was produced by The Atlantic magazine and may be found here! Worth viewing!

As the OHA notes, we are all in this together, and it’s not too late to act. The measures we all take today will determine how many people our hospitals can treat, how many lives they can save and how long the pandemic will last. The Nehalem Bay community has a strong history of mutual care and aid, and with that perspective and our actions now we can minimize the virus’ impact on us all.

Coronavirus: Child care can remain open, changes made To support Oregon’s working families dealing with the spread of COVID-19, Governor Brown has directed the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Early Learning Division to make changes to child care benefits.

The temporary changes, which are effective immediately, will help more low-income, working families access child care and help providers stay in business during the state of emergency.

“At a time when Oregon’s families are weathering numerous difficulties in their daily lives due to the spread of the coronavirus and its impact on our economy, we need to do everything we can to make sure child care providers can keep their doors open so parents can continue to work,” Brown said.

Co-pays will be eliminated for eligible families.

Child care providers are able to continue to receive payments from DHS, even if children are unable to attend or if they have to temporary shut down during the state of emergency.

Access will be provided to more families by increasing the income limit from 185 percent of the federal poverty level ($4,040 per month for a family of four) to 250 percent of the federal poverty level or 85 percent of the state median income, whichever is higher for the family size ($5,899 per month for a family of four).

“These measures are helping families access safe care for their children and will help stabilize child care businesses during an unprecedented time,” said Early Learning

System Director Miriam Calderon.

Providers and parents/ caretakers may contact the DHS Direct Pay Unit with questions Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 1-800-699-9074.

The Early Learning Division (ELD) is encouraging providers to take care of their own health during this time, especially if they believe they are at high-risk due to age or medical condition.

Calderon said the ELD is also working with providers to give them more flexibility to operate during this public health emergency and to understand what supplies and other supports are needed to stay open. Providers who decide to close should call 211 and/or their licensing specialist to notify them of closure.

Tillamook County Justice Court postpones in-person hearings, trials, services Based off an Order from the Supreme Court, the Justice of Peace has imposed significant restrictions on the Tillamook County Justice Court. The court is postponing all in-person hearings and trails is not providing any in-person services.

These restrictions will be in place until at least Friday, April 3, and may be extended or revised as circumstances warrant. You will not be able to come to the court window and talk with staff or file documents.

To file documents, mail them to the court: Tillamook Justice Court, 201 Laurel Ave, Tillamook OR 97141. The Court will not accept personal delivery of documents. You cannot leave the documents at the court window. Any filings

must be mailed.

If you have a first appearance on a citation, call the court at 503-842-3416.

Court staff are still working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday. You can enter a plea, either no contest or not guilty, by phone.

You can also mail in a plea. If you wish to enter a no contest plea, you can include a letter of explanation for the Judge to review.

If you have a hearing or trial, call the court at 503-842-3416 to confirm you mailing address. Court staff are still working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MondayFriday. The court will be mailing out new hearing notices with different dates.

If you are trying to make a payment, you can mail a check or money order, call

the court and make a credit card payment, or pay online. The court stops accepting credit card payments by phone each day at 4 p.m.

The court will not be setting dates for new hearings until there is a better understanding of when the court will reopen for in-person appearances.

The Tillamook County Justice Court appreciates everyone working with them during this difficult time. The court is still here to serve the people of Tillamook. The restrictions in place will help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. These restrictions are to remain in place, until the court feels normal operation will not endanger the health and safety of court staff and the public.

ODFW fish hatcheries closes to visitors Nehalem City Hall announces closure COVID-19 through interaction with the public or while cleaning areas extensively used by the public (ex. restroom facilities) is concerning,” Hurn said in a press release. “If a COVID-19 outbreak occurs in our hatchery employees, the department will struggle to operate the facility, and potentially have to expose more employees if onsite staff become unavailable due to illness.”

The announcement follows actions by ODFW’s federal partners that are also closing public access to federally-owned and operated hatcheries.

Below is a list of wildlife areas that are entirely or partially closed annually until spring to protect wintering wildlife including big game and migratory birds (see the Visitor Guide or Big Game Regulations and Bird Game Regulations for details). · Bridge Creek WA (Umatilla County ) – Reopens April 15.

· Elkhorn WA (Baker and Union counties) – Reopens April 11. · Fern Ridge WA (Lane County) – Portions closed through April 30 except on Saturdays. · Jewell Meadows WA (Clatsop County) – Some refuge and area closures in effect. · Klamath Wildlife Area (Klamath County) – Portions closed through April 30, reopen May 1. · Ladd Marsh WA (Union County) – Lands west of Foothill Rd reopen April 1. · Phillip W Schneider (Grant County) – Reopens April 15. · Prineville Reservoir WA (Crook County) – Closed to motor vehicles but reopens April 16. · Sauvie Island WA – There are current viewing opportunities but much of WA is closed until April 16 or May 1. · Wenaha WA (Wallowa County) – Reopens April 1.

Following the local state of emergency declared for Tillamook County due to COVID-19 on March 14, 2020, and social distancing measures ordered by Governor Brown, the City of Nehalem City Hall will follow the same measures effective immediately until April 14, 2020.

Effective Wednesday, March 18, all of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW) stateoperated fish hatcheries are closed to public access and all visitors. The closure is meant to protect staff, so they can continue to operate the 33 hatcheries while raise millions of fish critical to the state’s economy and biological systems.

While hatcheries are closed, fish stocking of lakes and ponds continue for now. See the trout stocking schedule at https://myodfw. com/fishing/species/trout/ stocking-schedule or visit the Recreation Report.

Fishing and other outdoor activities like wildlife viewing, hiking and hunting can enable people to get outdoors and still practice social distancing (staying ideally six feet from others).

Remember before heading outdoors that besides social distancing, you should stay home if you are sick, wash your hands frequently, cover your cough and sneezes, and take other recommended steps to protect yourself, friends, and family while slowing the spread of COVID-19.

ODFW’s wildlife areas, which are great places to watch wildlife, will remain open for now, except those areas annually closed until spring to protect wintering big game or migratory birds (see list below). However, visitor centers or areas where the public might congregate indoors will be closed.

Bathrooms at wildlife areas remain open. More information about wildlife areas is available at https://myodfw. com/visit-odfw-wildlifeareas.

ODFW Deputy Director Shannon Hurn notes that many fish hatcheries are operated by a small number of staff that live on site with their families in state housing.

These facilities have confined spaces where the public congregates to view fish or educational materials.

Governor calls to preserve personal protective equipment Chelsea Yarnell For the Herald You won’t be getting that teeth cleaning in the foreseeable future.

In an effort to preserve personal protective equipment (PPE), Governor Kate Brown directed all Oregon hospitals, outpatient clinics, and health care providers, including veterinarians and dentists, to cease all non-emergency procedures.

These restrictions were made in hopes to save surgical masks, gowns, and gloves, for health care workers treating COVID-19 patients.

“It is critical that we preserve every piece of personal protective equipment we have in Oregon so that our health care workers can keep themselves safe while treating COVID-19 patients,” said Governor Brown. “If we do not take immediate action, the surge in demand in our hospitals for masks, gowns, and gloves will quickly outstrip the limited supplies they have available.

We cannot let that happen.

I want to thank the health care providers––including dentists, veterinarians, and others––who have already

preserved and donated their critical supplies.”

This has impacted many professionals in the Tillamook community.

“Obviously, the financial impact of this executive order is massive,” Dr. Cyrus Javadi of Sand Creek Dental in Tillamook wrote on their Facebook page. “As a result, our office has had to temporarily lay off 16 of the most amazing people I know. They love their patients, and they love what they do. Please offer them your support when you see them. I believe in our amazing community, and we will support our medical partners during this time…”

Javadi cited that the executive order prevents dentists from providing routine dental care until June 15, but are still allowed to provide emergency care.

Bizeau Family Dentistry had opted to close prior to Gov. Brown’s executive order, but were surprised at the length of the closure.

“The goal is to get as many supplies as we can to the hospitals that are running or may run low.” Dr. Gabe Bizeau wrote on their Facebook page. “We never imagined that we would be

closed for an entire three months. As you can imagine, having dental offices shut down for three months will have a dramatic impact on our team and our community. I would urge you all to do your part to keep our community safe and support those in need around us. To those healthcare workers that are on the frontlines of this, thank you!”

Oregon State Senator Betsy Johnson has brought her concerns over dental closures to the state level.

“I have heard the dentists loud and clear….I am incredibly sympathetic to the plight of dentists who have been closed down to elective procedure given the paucity of PPE,” Johnson said. “Dentists don’t want to let go of their teams of highly-trained, trusted dental hygienists and dental assistants and others in their offices. I just want the dentists to know that I have lifted their situation to the Governor’s office and have made the case that these highly-trained medical professionals that we are putting out of work…by virtue of being ill-prepared at the state level with an inadequate supply of PPE.”

So, along with the support of Visit Tillamook Coast, they created “Tillamook Takeout:” a Facebook page specifically where local restaurants can post their specials, menus, and takeout information.

“So far takeout and delivery have been successful for Pacific Restaurant,” co-owner Nelia Seratista reported on the Tillamook Takeout Facebook page.

“My loyal team has been very helpful. Tillamook community has been very supportive. This is one of few adversities we face, and I am grateful to survive this with y’all.”

After only a week, nearly 2,500 Facebook members have already followed the page.

“We have to balance public safety and moral,” Aufdermauer said. “People have a close connection to food and we need to keep that normalcy going for community moral.”

“I like every teacher and a lot of them get a lot of stuff from students.”

Ramirez decided he

wanted to cook for a living in eighth grade. He always loved cooking and sees it as an art. He is an artistic person and likes stuff he can add on to make his own.

Ramirez plans to move to Colorado and live there for one year and then plans to attend culinary school. A community college in Colorado has a culinary program.

Bay City Council discussed a City Hall Remodel Professional Services Contract at their meeting on March 10. City Manager Chance Steffey said he contacted the architect, Brittell Architecture, Inc. for cost estimates.

Steffey gave Brittell Architecture, Inc. a tour of City Hall to discuss remodeling. The project consists of remodeling portions of the existing city hall, built sometime in the 1990s.

“At the front of city hall, we have a lot of issues with the way it’s laid out and a lot of distractions for our staff,” Steffey said.

As of now, staff has to go through the city recorder’s

The library occupies portions of the structure which will not be a part of the work.

No budget has yet been set. Brittell Architecture, Inc. will assist the city in determining the preliminary budget. They will retain cost estimating professionals or coordinate with contractors as deemed appropriate and pass those costs.

Steffey said there are a lot of little things that need to be addressed.

Steffey said they are looking at interior remodeling that will be functional for what the city needs. As of now, there are no escape routes for councilors during a public meeting. There are a 25 people max in the city council room.

Anticipated work includes: creating an office for the city manager within the City Hall building (the city manager’s office is currently located at the public works building); provide additional office space for a plan reviewer; improve circulation so that foot traffic for the printer, copier and restrooms does not pass through office space; relocate the city council bench so that an

“I can say that the supply is very limited in the county, state and nationally,” Putman said. “There has been some increased capacity this week … it is expected that there will be increasing capacity in the coming days and weeks.”

Through a medical screening process and provider clinical judgement, Community Health will determine who needs a medical appointment that may occur at the mobile clinic. The mobile clinic will be stationed in the parking lot of the Community Health Center clinic,

located at 801 Pacific Ave. in Tillamook.

Putman said the Oregon State Public Health Lab (OSPHL) is conducting laboratory testing of prioritized samples sent to them using state and federal guidance. She said commercial labs can receive samples that may not meet the strict guidelines required to protect OSPHL inventory for higher risk cases, public health investigations and the safety net.

OSPHL can process up to 80 tests a day and is building surge capacity, Putman said.

CDC guidelines on who should be tested included those with fever, cough, difficulty breathing and who have traveled to certain affected regions outside the U.S., and those who had close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 or is hospitalized, has evidence of viral pneumonia and a negative

influenza test.

A Tillamook lumber mill worker was tested for coronavirus, leading operations to shut down March 12 for cleaning.

Mark Elston, Hampton Lumber Mill plant manager, said the employee was tested at the local hospital and advised by medical professionals to selfquarantine at home pending results.

“I am very happy to report that our employee finally just received a negative test result on their COVID-19 test,” Elston said in an email Monday, March 23.

Elston said upon learning of the possible infection risk, Hampton Lumber closed shop to clean and sanitize areas the employee frequented. He said the relevant break rooms, restrooms, offices, and control rooms were sanitized by a local cleaning service.

NKN School District staff have never taught students remotely or with learning packets to this extent, ever,” Erlebach wrote in the letter. “This will be a new experience for students, parents and staff.”

Erlebach said the district has contracted with the web designer to create a supplemental learning page on the district’s website. This will be ready on the site on March 31. This will

be a go-to for parents and will have information and materials.

“This is a new direction for how we serve our students,” Erlebach said.

The role of schools is always involved in the community, Erlebach said, and this is a new challenge for how to serve students. The district’s top priority is for the seniors, so they can graduate, and move forward.

“We take the health and safety of our employees and the community very seriously,” Elston said.

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners has urged the public to avoid unnecessary social contacts in the coming weeks. They hope to prevent a surge that would leave hospitals and clinics overwhelmed with sick patients.

Becky Hultberg, president and CEO of the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (OAHHS), spoke out on the need for stronger social distancing measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. OAHHS represents Oregon’s 62 acute care hospitals.

“Hospitals and health systems are preparing for a surge in COVID-19 patients and it is critical that we have the capacity to care for those patients and others who present at our facilities,” Hultberg said. “Ab-

sent widespread testing and the ability to isolate patients, the public health tool we must use to avoid a rising patient surge is social distancing.”

Hultberg said OAHHS supports action on the state or local level to further limit retail commerce, unnecessary travel, and adopt shelter in place strategies.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the CDC has awarded $7.2 million to Oregon to support the state’s effort to help contain and fight the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The funding is in addition to an initial $500,000 that the state received at the beginning of the month.

“As our states tackle the unique challenges of responding to coronavirus, the federal government needs to be a full partner,” Merkley said.

The new funding comes from a bipartisan $8.3 billion

package of emergency funding signed into law earlier this month. Merkley pushed to secure more funding for the CDC, small business disaster loans, reimbursements for state and local government expenses incurred fighting the coronavirus, and support for tribal governments – all of which are included in the package.

he City of Bay City declared an official state of emergency Monday, March 23, following the Gov. Kate Brown’s declaration on March 8 and the Tillamook County Commissioners local state of emergency within Tillamook County on March 14 and continuance of emergency on March 22 due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

Councilor David McCall asked for the effective date to remain in effect until April 28 and modify to start on March 23.

City Manager Chris Steffey said a plan needs to be activated as it stands, and an emergency operation center needs to be initiated.

“Some of the other functions we have been working on such as emergency preparedness, that needs to stop,” Steffey said. “It needs to stop until we are done with this emergency because we can’t be out doing the functions to get people prepared at the same time we’re following the guidelines of the governor and social distancing.”

There will not be any emergency preparedness meetings during this time.

Steffey said they need to follow guidelines established by the governor and the CDC. Kruebbe asked for members to be available by some capacity.

The Emergency Declaration Resolution No. 20-08 states that: 1. City-wide State of Emergency. A City-wide State of Emergency hereby exists within the City of Bay City, which includes all of the area within the city boundaries.

Veterans honored with hand-sewn quilts A

t the Feb. 13 Veterans for Peace meeting in Manzanita, two veterans were honored: Jack Ferris, a World War II recipient of the French Legion of Honor, and Mike Scott, a Vietnam veteran who served as a river boat officer in the Mekong Delta.

The men received handsewn quilts from Marie Hanson, a Veterans for Peace member.

Marie’s mother, Coni Phillips, who is 83, made the quilts as well as many others which have been given to other community members.

Phillips served on active

her retirement she became reacquainted with her sewing machine and nurtured a love of quilt making.

She has created over 100 quilts.

Despite her arthritis and bad vision, Phillips continues to enjoy designing with various materials, and the lovely quilts just keep coming. Her quilts live as far away as Scotland and Alaska and there are six close-by in the Pacific Northwest.

She has four children, two grand-children, and five great-grandchildren. Both Jack and Mike were deeply appreciative of their quilts.

Bay City awards Gary and Carla GUEST COLUMN Albright the John Newspapers: An ‘essential service’ Gettman Award S

an Francisco and six Bay Area counties, with a combined population of nearly 7 million, are under “shelter-in-place” orders directing everyone to basically stay inside their homes for the next three weeks in hopes of suppressing the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the region.

It looks like many of us are going to be living under similar shelter-inplace orders sooner or later.

Bedroom community New Rochelle, New York, has a “zone of containment,” and at this writing, New York City’s mayor is considering an order sending everyone inside in The City That Never Sleeps, which will surely encourage other municipalities to issue their own shelter-in-place edicts.

At the national level, there are doubtless officials who gaze longingly at the lockdowns ordered across Spain and Italy.

ment agencies including Rockwell International, NASA and the Federal Labor Commission. After

One key to shelter-inplace orders is that businesses that do not provide “essential” services must send workers home. Most coverage lists the essential services as grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and vital services from police and fire fighters to utility workers.

In California, newspapers are among the essential services exempt from shelter in place. And that is exactly how it should be.

It is imperative that all future shelter-in-place orders recognize that newspapers provide “essential services.”

It’s imperative that these orders recognize their communities badly need those services in this crisis — and would be imperiled by their absence.

Day in and day out, newspapers bind communities together, enhancing civic life and informing, entertaining and educating their local audiences.

But it is during crises that newspapers prove their mettle. In hurricanes, in

floods, in tornadoes and wildfires, newspapers have provided the information, the background, the warnings and the directions to financial and psychological aid that help communities prepare, survive and rebuild in emergencies.

Newspapers are especially essential in this COVID-19 public health crisis.

For one thing, it is a complex and often baffling crisis. Again and again, public health experts speak of being in “unchartered territory” confronting this invisible, shape-shifting deadly menace. Newspapers are uniquely situated to provide the extensive background people need to understand as a community and as individuals.

In these weeks of crisis, they have ceaselessly delivered the best practices for individual and community hygiene. Newspapers (in print and online) continue to demonstrate their ability to tackle and explain complex issues with the necessary

and important details.

Newspapers have also been a voice demanding accountability on behalf of their communities during this COVID-19 crisis — from a President who denounced coronavirus as a “hoax,” to administration officials overpromising and failing to deliver testing kits, to lies and fudging of disease statistics.

And when this crisis passes and office workers flock back to their cubicles and waitresses to their dining stations, line cooks to their restaurant kitchens, bartenders to their taverns, actors to their stages, beer vendors to their stadiums, cashiers to their registers - when, in short, America begins to rebuild its economy, its trust and its health - newspapers will continue to provide the essential services vital to the commonweal.

Are newspapers “essential services”? You bet.

City of Garibaldi declares state of emergency

Hilary Dorsey headlightreporter@countrymedia.net

G

aribaldi City Council made an emergency declaration in response to coronavirus (COVID-19) at a special city council meeting held Wednesday, March 18. Ordinance 330, effective March 18, declares a temporary state of emergency within the boundaries of the city and delegating authority to the city manager.

Gov. Kate Brown issued on March 8 Executive Order 20-03, declaring a statewide state of emergency due to the serious public health and safety threat posed by the spread of the COVID-19 virus within the state. The City of Garibaldi has enacted local ordinance, 301, which pertains to the declaration and administration of a city-wide state of emergency within city boundaries.

The city council finds that during this state of emergency, it is prudent to delegate certain powers and responsibilities to the city manager

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding, if the City Manager desires to issue a municipal order limiting or banning public gatherings, establishing curfews, closing or limiting businesses, or implementing other social distancing measures beyond that ordered by the State of Oregon, the City Manager shall first consult with the City Council. This provision does not prevent the City Manager from publishing

in order to more efficiently expedite city responses and services. These emergency circumstances require focused and coordinated municipal and community responses beyond that which occur routinely, and such coordinated responses cannot be achieved without temporarily amending some of the city’s regular business, emergency, employment and intergovernmental practices.

There was concern about City Manager Geoff Wullschlager having responsibility, rather than Mayor Judy Riggs.

“The reason there are so many people involved in this is because of flexibility,” Riggs said. “If there was an earthquake, the city manager would be the first person who would probably be available.”

Riggs said the responsibility first falls on the city manager, and in order to have flexibility, needs to have as many people available as possible.

“The reason we need to

5. Effective Date and Duration. This Declaration shall be effective on the date adopted by the City Council and shall remain in effect until April 28th, 2020 at 5 p.m., unless further extended by the City Manager or designee or the City Council.

6. Establishing an Emergency. It is hereby adjudged and declared that existing conditions are such that this Declaration is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety of the City of Bay City, and an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Resolution, and all provisions modifying the Resolution referred to herein, shall take effect in full force and effect when signed by the Mayor.

“That’s our main concern.”

During this state of emergency, the City of Garibaldi may take any legal action and necessary steps to respond and recover from the emergency, including: requesting assistance, funds, and reimbursement from the State of Oregon and federal agencies; adopting temporary rules and policies regarding city facilities, funds, resources and staff; entering into contracts for services or aid agreements with other governmental or private entities; and cancelling non-essential city meetings and events.

The city manager has the authority to take actions and issue orders necessary and reasonable to protect health, safety and welfare of the city and the public and to conduct activities that minimize the effect of the

County Resolution #R-20-005 and R-20-006.

City offices have been closed to walk-in customers accept by appointment, public meetings have been canceled until the end of March, and the city is asking utility customers to use the payment drop slot at City Hall. According to the Governors Executive Order 20-12, the city parks are also closed which also includes the campground and bathrooms. The mayor, city council and staff are continuing to monitor the situation and are taking steps to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community.

Mayor Chris Kruebbe said the Fire Department is fully functional, however, they are short of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, contact the Fire Chief Darrel Griffith either by telephone at 503-3770233 or email at firedept@ ci.bay-city.or.us.

T

he City of Bay City awarded Gary and Carla Albright the John Gettman Award at a city council meeting Tuesday, March 10. The Albrights had been at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum (TCPM) for 10 years.

Bay City citizen Jody Daily interviewed them for her weekly Fencepost article in the Headlight.

“They were instrumental in bringing back the museum because it was in disrepair and wasn’t getting the visitors; it wasn’t getting the money,” Daily said. “The Albrights stepped in and got grants and donations and updated the building.”

The Albrights worked to put a new roof and flooring in the museum and provided new programs. Carla was the chair of the Bay City Arts Center for four years. Gary was very involved in the beginning of Helping Hands.

He was vice-president from 2014 to 2019. They left the museum for other opportunities.

The Albrights also

worked on the Salmonberry Trail. They were able to get funding and put in trails, signs and a kiosk. Daily said the trail is a jewel for Tillamook County.

The Albrights did handson work including digging and cleaning. Daily was told by another couple that the Albrights stop at Kilchis Point and clean the bathrooms every day twice a day.

Gary is teaching Political Science at the community college and also making furniture and selling it. Carla is at the Garibaldi Maritime Museum in a similar capacity as she was at TCPM. She creates events and exhibits and is hands on. At TCPM, she did 15 events in one year.

Gary and Carla met at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She came into a restaurant he was working at.

The Albrights have lived their lives in service to Tillamook County.

This is the second John Gettman award given out, Daily said.

Our staff provides caring, professional assistance for a wide range of personal and family needs.

Temporary lift on bottle return regulations

tores are declining bottle returns because of coronavirus fears.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) will temporarily not take enforcement action against retailers for failing to accept empty beverage containers for redemption.

During the temporary period, if stores don’t take back empty beverage containers, the OLCC will not issue them a notice of violation.

Grocers and supermarkets are overwhelmed with an unprecedented volume of customers attempting to purchase provisions, so they can spend time at home to help in the effort to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.

Supermarket and grocery retailers are short-staffed; like many other businesses and institutions their employees are also managing their own health and family

issues during this challenging time. With the surge in consumer grocery shopping, food retail employees are

working long hours to help customers as grocers prioritize their efforts on keeping shelves stocked.

The concerns about maintaining on-site redemption and collection areas is taking increasing amounts of time

away from in store customer service, supply re-stocking, store cleaning, and managing social distancing.

Stores have requested relief from bottle bill redemption in order to shift employees to focus on the unusually high customer traffic. Providing temporary relief through this action will allow grocers greater flexibility to more effectively manage and maintain a safe and healthy store environment.

The temporary action will be in place through March 31. BottleDrop redemption centers, operated by the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) will remain open. OBRC will also continue to operate BottleDrop Express drop sites, and Dealer Redemption Centers. The OLCC will continue to monitor the effects of this action and the impact on the grocery

industry.

“This is an important way for us to assist these stores to serve the immediate shopping needs of thousands of citizens and help contribute to reducing the spread of the outbreak,” OLCC Executive Director Steve Marks said.

The OLCC is asking for the cooperation of all citizens through the duration of this temporary action.

The agency has created an information flyer that provides details to locate all redemption center locations.

Because not all communities have redemption centers, citizens are being asked to safely store bottles and cans until redemption services resume.

The agency said it recognizes this is an inconvenience, but store redemption and collection environments need to be sanitarily maintained throughout this outbreak.

Colleges to go online, bar in-person class

ov. Kate Brown Wednesday, March 18, announced an executive order directing Oregon’s higher education institutions to move their curriculum to online learning, prohibiting in-person classroom interactions through April 28 as a way to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

“I know students have worked hard this school year, and we’re doing everything we can to help them safely finish their learning. But we’re also learning more about this disease every day, and social distancing is key to keeping Oregonians safe,” Brown said.

“I understand there are seniors getting ready to graduate this spring, and I want to assure them that our universities and community colleges are working hard to make sure they can get their diplomas.”

The executive order also limits on-campus operations to critical functions, such as din-

ing services and dormitories — all of which are directed to employ social distancing — as a way to ensure students have a safe place to live and eat, since some may not otherwise have housing options.

Tillamook Bay Community College students are scheduled for a two-week spring break from March 23 to April 3. The campus food pantry remains open weekdays from 1-3:30 p.m. Spring term is sched-

uled to begin April 6. Classes will be taught online through April 28. Students enrolled in courses that cannot be taught

online will need to revise their schedules.

Non-credit community education classes, adult basic skills and GED preparation are cancelled for spring term. The Small Business Development Center is closed to the public but is working remotely.

Classes will be rescheduled or provided remotely. All community events held on campus are cancelled or postponed.

No in-person meetings of 20 or more will be held through April 17.

“Brown’s clear guidance will help Oregon’s colleges and universities statewide to move forward into spring term with the utmost priority placed on the health of our communities, while they continue their educational missions during this extraordinarily hard time,” said Ben Cannon, director of

Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission.

“The students, faculty, and staff who are impacted by these changes should know that the important roles they play in this transformation are all critical to help slow the growth of COVID-19,” Cannon said. “Shifting almost entirely to remote delivery will help ensure that Oregon’s colleges and universities can continue to prepare thousands of students with degrees and certificates they are working so hard to achieve.”

“In this difficult time, we deeply appreciate Gov. Kate Brown’s commitment to help support Oregon students’ progress to a college degree as all of us collaborate to reduce the risk and spread of COVID-19,” said Ed Ray, president, Oregon State University.

Stores scramble to keep shelves stocked

I

f you’ve purchased toilet paper in the past week, count yourself among the lucky ones.

Across the country and here in Tillamook, shelves are stripped daily of essential hygiene and cleaning products. Many stores are limiting purchases on some of the most wanted products – toilet paper, tissues, cold and flu medicine and cleaning supplies.

At Fred Meyer, the company is adding shifts to its distribution centers, drivers and store staff. To prevent the spread of coronavirus, hourly cleaning has been implemented as well as overnight cleaning that is done while restocking. There is a round the clock cleaning mentality focused on sanitizing commonly touched surfaces.

“We are all aligned and committed to getting product to our customers as effectively as possible,” said Jeffrey Temple, director of corporate affairs for Fred Meyer. “Our store associates are working with a greater sense of purpose and responsibility toward the community than ever before.”

The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation recently announced a $3 million commitment to rapidly deploy hunger-relief resources to com-

munities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fred Meyer also added $25 to every associate’s Rewards Card for them to spend as a token of gratitude for working hard and being there for customers, the community and each other.

Fred Meyer stores are currently open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., giving employees more time to restock and clean.

At Safeway, the company is reserving 7-9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for vulnerable shoppers who must leave home to obtain their groceries. Safeway asks for customers help to reserve this shopping time for those most at risk in communities.

“We thank our customers in advance for their compassion and understanding toward their neighbors and friends, and in helping us maintain this temporary operations guideline,” said Nicky Nielsen, marketing promotional coordinator for Safeway.

Safeway has enhanced its cleaning and disinfecting measures in all departments, restrooms and other high-touch points of the store throughout the day, as well as a deep cleanse at the end of each business day. Protective screens went up recently in Tillamook, sort of a sneeze guard for the cashiers. Cart wipes and hand

sanitizer stations are available.

The company also created “contact free” delivery procedures for its team and has changed its signature processes so delivery drivers can sign for customers when delivering orders.

“The health and well-being of our team remains our top priority. Our teams across our stores are truly the people to thank for keeping our stores operating,” Nielsen said. “Working long hours and stocking our shelves to keep up with demand, we truly cannot express enough gratitude for their dedication and commitment these last few weeks.”

As recommended by state and local health officials, Safeway encourages you to wash or sanitize your hands before entering and leaving the store as a courtesy to your neighbors.

The Northwest Grocer’s Association offers the following tips for shoppers during the coronavirus outbreak: observe social distancing the best you can with department personnel and your clerk when checking out, use self-checkout stations whenever available, ask for a cleaning or use a sanitation wipe before each use, bag your own groceries and remember to wash your reusable bags after each use.

County weighs loans for local businesses

Governor extends school closures to April 28 G

ov. Kate Brown ordered an extension of a statewide school closure to a total of six weeks, until April 28, and also issued further guidance for Oregon’s public schools. This follows on an initial two-week closure of Oregon’s schools to end on March 31.

Districts are to provide learning supports and supplemental services to students and families during the closure period, including meals and child care. This includes the delivery of food assistance and offering child care for essential health care professionals and

first responders.

School districts may call on public school educators and employees to deliver limited learning and support services.

Each district will pay all their regular employees during the closure. The Oregon Department of Education, Oregon Health Authority, and Department of Human Services are directed to support public schools in the continuity of mental health services.

“I do not take the decision to extend school closures lightly. This will have real impacts on Oregon’s students, parents,

regon U.S. Sens.

Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, with U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Suzanne Bonamici, Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader and Greg Walden, announced that following their letter to the Small Business Administration (SBA) supporting the governor’s request, Oregon has been declared an economic disaster, giving small businesses access to emergency resources.

The Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan provides critical resources to small businesses that are facing closures and layoffs in the effort to contain the spread of coronavirus.

“I have heard the fear and anxiety from small business owners throughout the state who have been impacted by COVID-19,” Merkley said.

“In this unprecedented time, our small businesses—the lifeblood of our state economy—need all the help they can get.

I encourage small business owners throughout the state to apply for these loans. Know this: I will continue to fight for the resources we need to combat coronavirus and recover from this crisis.”

“I am gratified that small businesses in our state and the Oregonians who work in them can start to get emergency help recovering from the ongoing economic devastation rippling out from the coronavirus public health crisis,” Wyden said. “While today’s news is a welcome step, it’s clear much more must be done to provide urgently needed help to all Oregonians. I am pulling out all the stops to get that vital assistance quickly so small businesses in our state remain viable and Oregonians’ health and well-being are safeguarded.”

“I am very pleased by the Small Business Administration’s swift approval of Economic Injury Disaster Loans for Oregon’s small businesses,” Schrader said. “This assistance will help our small business community weather this difficult and uncertain time and is critical for their survival.

Oregon’s Congressional delegation will continue to stand behind and advocate for our small business owners and the thousands of people that they employ.”

Already, the state of Washington and parts of California and Nevada have been declared economic disasters. As a result, both counties in those states and Oregon counties adjacent to the declaration areas have access to low-interest federal disaster loans from the SBA. Gilliam, Hood River, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla and Wasco counties were already eligible to apply because of Washington’s declaration;

Curry, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath and Lake counties were eligible because of California’s; and Harney County was eligible because of Nevada’s.

C

and educators,” Brown said. “But we must act now to flatten the curve and slow the rate of COVID-19 transmission in Oregon, otherwise we face a higher strain on our medical system and greater loss of life to this disease.”

Brown also signed executive orders prohibiting on-premises consumption of food or drink and gatherings of more than 25 people, as well as an order declaring abnormal disruption of the market due to COVID-19. All three executive orders took effect immediately.

Small businesses can get economic disaster loans

Wednesday, March 25, 2020

With a statewide declaration for Oregon, the delegation encourages affected small businesses in all counties across the state to apply for the SBA loans.

ounty officials and local tourism leaders held a conference call Thursday, March 19, and discussed using Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) funds to bail out local businesses that are struggling because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Tillamook County Commissioners said assistance in the form of short-term bridge loans would be targeted at tourism-related businesses, though the definition of what is tourism related could be vast in Tillamook County. A committee is being assembled to further discuss the idea and plan how the loans would work and who would be eligible.

There is currently around $3.5 million in the TLT pot, though $2.5 million is earmarked for upcoming grant awards for which applications have already been filed.

Commissioners are also exploring state and federal funding possibilities and are seeking to collaborate with local banking institutions.

Tillamook County has

not yet been added to the list of counties that are eligible for coronavirus relief loans announced this past week

by President Donald Trump. The Small Business Administration can offer up to $50 billion in low-interest loans to small businesses during the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. Impacted businesses can apply for up to $2 million in loans.

“We need to get his money out there – we can’t just sit on it,” Commissioner Bill Baertlein said. “These businesses are bleeding.”

Baertlein said he wants to see money being disbursed by early next week, admitting that would be a breakneck pace. Commissioner David Yamamoto echoed the need for rapid response, saying local companies can’t afford to wait on longer state and federal timelines.

“Small businesses that aren’t able to fully operate are going to be in deep trouble,” Commissioner David Yamamoto

said. “It’s my hope that we can find a way to help small businesses so that they are still around when this is all said and done.”

Restaurants are among the most at risk because of limitations put on service by the state. To clamp down on the possible spread of coronavirus, the governor ordered restaurants and bars to ban on-site dining, allowing only takeout and delivery service.

Local restaurants are reportedly already struggling to make payroll and cover taxes for the coming weeks. A gap in support and resources for the self-employed and sole proprietorships meant they are also at a high risk of shuttering for good without financial help.

“I was thinking about a business here in north county called Wolfmoon Bakery, they just passed their first-year anniversary and the community really loves them, and it’s just a husband and wife,” Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said. “They’re really suffering.”

he 30th Annual Pool-A-Thon held Feb. 22 was extremely prosperous. $18,120.00 has been raised so far with additional donations still trickling in. 2,474 lengths (35 miles) were swam by 57 enthusiastic swimmers. In addition, there were 18 participants who were not able to swim but were kind enough to solicit donations towards our cause.

This event raised funds to help keep the NCRD/ Nehalem Elementary School Swim Program afloat.

All proceeds from the Pool-A-Thon go directly towards the School Swim Instruction & Water Safety Awareness Program which impacts the lives of all students, kindergarten through 5th grade, as well as the adaptive swim students of District #56.

Many thanks go to the 75 student participants.

Because of their enthusiasm, hard work, and passion for swimming, the event was a SUPREME ACHIEVEMENT. To the parents and families of these kids, we are truly appreciative for the time and energy you gave to your child

throughout the Pool-AThon. Thanks for being the backbone of the fundraiser. You all are WONDERFUL. An extended thankyou to all the generous donors. By pledging a swimmer, you have validated the importance of this vital program which enhances the lives of over 200 children. We are fortunate to have the support and encouragement of a caring community.

The legacy of the 90-year-old Nehalem School Swim Program lives on!

T

he Oregon State University Extension Office in Tillamook has temporarily suspended all organized classes, including Strong Women, Master Gardeners, and 4-H activities. At this point, they still plan to have normal operational hours and can always be reached at 503-842-3433.

The Extension Office urges everyone in the community to take the possible transmission of this virus serious and encourage you to limit travel if you can, use good hand washing hygiene and stay home if you do not feel good. We all hope with aggressive action we can reduce the spread of the Corona virus and get back to normal as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

SOLVE Spring Monday Musical Club postpones “The Glenn Miller Orchestra” concert Beach cleanup rescheduled T

he Board of Director was informed Thursday, March 12, that Tillamook School District was ending all events. Monday Musical Club’s Event Series is held at the Don Whitney Auditorium on the campus of Tillamook High School.

The District informed the Board of Directors that, per the decision regarding

the suspension of events, the concert would not be allowed to take place in the auditorium. In keeping with Governor Brown’s request that gatherings of over 250 people not take place, the Board of Directors made the difficult decision to postpone the concert originally scheduled for Sunday, March 22. It will now take

place at 4 p.m. March 14, 2021.

The Board of Directors and Glenn Miller Orchestra completely understand and respect the difficult public health decisions made by the school district and look forward to the rescheduled program next year.

Those who wish to have their money refunded rather

than attend the concert next year are welcome to mail back their ticket to: Monday Musical Club - Attn: Cultural Events, PO Box 983, Tillamook, OR 97141 and a refund check will be mailed.

Questions and concerns can be addressed to Adam Schwend, Cultural Events Director, at 503.457.8865 or apschwend@gmail.com

15th Annual Knock Down Poverty returns May 2

T

he 15th Annual Knock Down Poverty bowl-a-thon is returning to Tillamook Lanes Saturday, May 2.

There are many ways to get involved with a right-sized opportunity for everyone.

Here are a few of the ways in which you can get involved: • Become a Sponsor - Title Sponsor ($1100), Flight Sponsor ($550) or a Lane Sponsor ($125) –includes various levels of advertising through media, a banner to hang in the bowling alley for two months and a public thank you.

• Become a prize sponsor – Donate an item that will be used as a thank you prize for the great volunteer bowlers who have collected financial contributions.

• Become a financial donor – Make a financial donation in place of, or in addition to, your in-kind donation. A great way to boost the campaign for our client services!

• Organize a Bowling Team – organize a team of five bowlers to gather pledges prior to the event then come bowl together. The goal is for each bowler to raise $125 in pledges.

Always the first Saturday in May, the Knock Down Poverty bowl-a-thon is the most fun you ever had helping your community. For 15 years,

this event has supported Tillamook’s own Community Action Resource Enterprises (CARE), Inc. CARE is our county’s local community action agency providing anti-poverty services for our community.

CARE said the generosity of the people of Tillamook County over the past 14 years of this event has been truly remarkable. Two years ago, during CARE’s “A Home for CARE,” capital campaign the community came through in a big way, and as a result today there is a permanent home for anti-poverty services in Tillamook. Building on that success, last year CARE shared their dream of a time when no eligible client is ever turned away from CARE due to lack of funds, and Tillamook came through again to the tune of more than $30,000 for emergency client services.

This year, CARE is challenging the community to turn that dream into a reality each and every year by raising $35,000 for client services at this year’s Knock Down Poverty bowl-a-thon.

Accomplishing this will take more than a dream. It will take vision, and so CARE dubbed this year CARE 2020: A Year of Vision. The guiding question CARE is asking itself and others this year is: What does Tillamook look like to you?

If you share their vision of Tillamook as a community that believes support should always available for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors, CARE challenges you to put your best foot forward and help them Knock Down Poverty. All the funds raised from this year’s bowl-a-thon will go to support CARE’s client services programs.

These programs include many of the visible benefits CARE provides to the community, including rental assistance, paying part of a utility bill or helping to purchase a needed prescription.

However, some of the most important work that CARE does often goes unseen. It come from the time and attention CARE case managers spend with their clients. Sometimes the most powerful thing CARE can do is simply provide a listening ear and consoling shoulder to those who simply need some support during a difficult season of life.

For more information visit the CARE website at www.careinc.org. You can also give them a call at 503-842-5261 or simply drop by their office at 2310 First St., St. 2 in Downtown Tillamook near the Post Office. Donations must be received by Wednesday, April 15, if you want to be included in their marketing materials.

Tillamook County Parks Department announces closure

T

he Tillamook County Parks Department strives to ensure the safety of its employees, volunteers, and visiting public, the agency said in a press

release.

To help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, the parks department has decided that it is in the best interest of all to sus-

pend overnight camping in the Tillamook County Parks Department campgrounds to minimize close contact between individuals.

T

he health and safety of Oregon’s communities has always been a priority for SOLVE. Due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19. SOLVE is rescheduling its Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup, presented by AAA, until Sunday, July 5.

Beach cleanups on July 5 are crucial in removing litter and debris left from Fourth of July celebrations. SOLVE views this date change as an opportunity to focus on a different challenge facing the health and wellness of the Oregon coast. In addition, SOLVE is excited to expand its partnerships with community leaders who have hosted annual 5th of July cleanups in the past.

SOLVE recognizes the important role volunteers play in keeping the Oregon coast clean and healthy during the spring season. Removing marine debris and plastics is work that still needs to be done. In lieu of this statewide beach cleanup event in March, they invite all Oregonians to pick up as they go, whether they find themselves on the Oregon Coast or elsewhere.

More information will be sent out soon about how volunteers can help our beaches between now and July. Changes to SOLVE’s ongoing projects are ongoing. Please contact you SOLVE Project Leader for the most up-to-date information.

About SOLVE SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Since 1969, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers of all ages across Oregon to clean and restore our neighborhoods and natural areas, and to build a legacy of stewardship for our state.

TBCC Foundation announces over $95K in scholarships T

illamook Bay Community College Foundation is excited to announce the opening of their 2020-2021 scholarships for students to attend Tillamook Bay Community College. There is over $95,000 to award.

The scholarship process can be completed entirely online by visiting www.tillamookbaycc.edu and clicking on the Pay for College tab and selecting scholarships. Students have until Thursday, April 30 to apply.

Scholarships can help pay for tuition, fees, books, educational supplies, and in some cases childcare and living expenses.

“I have experienced firsthand the importance of community colleges, and the flexibility they provide to a ‘non-traditional student’,” said Britta Lawrence, development director of the TBCC Foundation. “We are very excited to help distribute this scholarship money to students to lessen their financial stress, so they can focus on reaching their educational goals. With over $95,000 of scholarship money to distribute, you can tell how much our community supports one another.”

Scholarships are awarded in June, with funds dispersed in the fall. They help to cover tuition and other expenses over three terms. Unlike federal and private loans, scholarships do not have to be paid back.

T

he community potlucks for both March and April at the Barbara Bennett Community Center in Cape Meares have been cancelled due to the restrictions on large group gatherings during the COVID-19 crisis.

Our little community is hunkered down. Most of us fit the definition of senior citizens; we are most at risk and need to stay home. If you have been following the advice of our emergency preparedness taskforce through the years, you are likely fairly well prepared for some voluntary selfquarantine: plenty of canned

worried about our family and friends in the valley or elsewhere. Thankfully, we have video chats, e-mail, phone calls and texts to keep in touch. One of our daughters initiated a family Marco Polo group; that’s a one-way video chat app. It’s been a fun new way to keep in touch.

This also might be a good time to catch up on making photo albums or scrapbooks… or tying flies, getting ready for some trout fishing in Cape Meares Lake. You might tune up your boat motor and paint some spinners for spring salmon fishing, which gener-

ally kicks off in May. The library is closed, but reading on your electronic device is still available. And do I have a book for you!

Cape Meares residents Jack and Sue Drafahl authored a book entitled “Discovery” that is a finalist for the Reader Views Reviewers Choice 2020 award. The storyline has the protagonist, Jake McDonald, hitting a low point and turning from banking to lobster fishing to solve his financial problems.

While scuba diving, he discovers an underwater cave extending deep beneath the island’s shoreline. As he swims into

the cave looking for fish and lobster, he finds an alien artifact. This discovery drastically transforms his life and changes the history of planet Earth in a way no one could have ever imagined. Intrigued? Check it out on amazon.com. It comes in both Kindle and paperback versions.

My husband and I have had monthly lunches and two games of Scrabble with Cape Meares neighbors Merrie and Jon Ziady for years. To keep the integrity of this column, it must be said that Merrie wins most of the games. We have put off these foursome get-to-

gethers during the COVID-19 crisis, but there are plenty of other board and card games for your household. We love canasta and play it once a day. It takes two decks of cards; you can find the rules online. And, of course, if you live alone, there is always solitaire and/or jigsaw puzzles.

A nice, large rock bed is showing at the south end of Cape Meares beach. Search for rocks that can be polished to a shine, such as agate and jasper.

On our beach, social distancing is not a problem. Talk a solitary walk and stay safe, neighbors and friends!

to foot and equestrian traffic on wet, packed sand throughout nesting season. Beachgoers will see roped off areas with signs that identify sensitive plover nesting grounds to protect the small shorebirds during this period. All other recreation on plover beaches is off limits on both wet and dry sand, include walking your dog (even on a leash), driving a vehicle, riding a bicycle, camping, fires, and flying kites or drones.These areas collectively comprise about 45 miles of Oregon’s 362 miles of shoreline.

By planning our trips, we can enjoy the beach and help keep these special birds safe.

Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications through April 20

for their next three Habitat Homes. Qualifying households can become homeowners by partnering with the non-profit.

Three properties are available: a two bedroom home in Bay City with anticipated move-in this summer, a three bedroom town home under construction in Tillamook with anticipated move-in this summer and a newly constructed home in our own Hebo, sized to fit the family who will occupy it. The Hebo move-in is anticipated for Summer, 2021. To apply go to tillamookhabitat.org and click on the “Be a Homeowner” tab.

Nestucca Valley School District is delivering meals to anyone aged one through 18 who lives within School

District 101 boundaries. Go to nestucca.k12.or.us/hs/index. html to sign up. There is also a link on the Nestucca Valley School District Facebook page. Meals are free and are prepared and served in keeping with health protocols. Qualifying households in other school districts should contact their school’s District Office to access meals.

Senior dining centers will be offering a “Pick Me Up Café” at the Pacific City (Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiawanda Drive), Tillamook and Nehalem dining centers. People who would normally come to the center for a meal will have the option to come and pick up a hot meal to go during the regularly

scheduled time for lunches to be served. They ask that participants not come into the dining room in response to infection control challenges. The meals on wheels program will not change and has not been interrupted. For more information, call 503-965-7900.

Happy birthday this week to: Willard Anderson, Linda Brown, Wyatt Clark, Aryana Cunningham, Annie Daggett, Jessica Elder, Danny Gordon, Bryce Haltiner, Clina Heathershaw, Jean Johnson, Kevin Hale, Tim Livengood, Jace Owens, Tyler Richwine, Kelly Sigman, Hollee Schildan, Cory Schmid, Dylan Schmid, Angie Simnitt, Cheyenne Traxler, Mike Wickham and Janet Woodard.

storyteller to entertain. Thank you, Mana, for being a good steward of our community.

Other closings as follows: The Bay City United Methodist Church will suspend Sunday worship gatherings for the next two weeks to help decrease the rate of infection.

They have also canceled their rummage sale that was set for the first week in April. All committee meetings and other gatherings, which includes AA, TOPS, and guitar class are also canceled. During this time if you or someone you know becomes sick, please call Pastor Dave or the office at 503-377-2679,

and let them know how they can support you. On March 22nd their worship team will again livestream the 10 AM service for everyone to view.

For more information go to their Facebook page, FB@ BayCityOregonUMC. The Bay City Art Center is suspending all Art Center activities including the pancake breakfast and all music concerts through March. They will reevaluate in early April.

Their email is baycityartcenter@gmail.com.

All meetings for the Oyster Club the Pearl and Oyster Music Festival are canceled for the rest of the month.

Please call me for more information.

During this difficult time, we are fortunate to have City Manager Chance Steffey at the helm as well as David Peterson, our new City Recorder. For further information about City closures, contact City Hall at 503-377-2288 or go to their homepage at www. ci.bay-city.or.us.

Helen Wright collected $343.46 in donations for Pendleton’s flood victims.

Fire Chief Darrell Griffith saw that the donations were given to the flood relief effort in Pendleton. Thank you, Helen and Chief Darrell, for

your volunteer service. My heart goes out to the citizens of Pendleton. They are still awaiting help from FEMA for flood damage and are now dealing with the threat of the Corona virus.

The famous Quaker saying, “many hands make light work” is especially true when an organization is totally supported by volunteers. The Bay City Art Center, Booster Club, Oyster Club, Volunteer Fire Department, and the Methodist Church, all need help in lightening their load.

Thank you for meeting me at the Fencepost. I’ll see you next week.

Joes. They have burgers, Hawaiian Teriyaki Bowls and Plates, Yakisoba Chicken and more. Sounds pretty tempting.

Where oh where do I begin? One way you can help the local businesses is to purchase gift cards for gifts or yourself when things calm down. That will help them get through these tough times.

I personally think this is a lovely idea.

The Meals for Seniors French Toast Breakfast that was planned on March 28 has been canceled.

Meals for Seniors has decided to begin a “takeout” lunch policy instead of

the group meet-up at the St. Mary’s by the Sea Hall. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week through March their seniors can come by and pick up their lunch. Stop by between 10-10:30 to get your meal. Please preregister so they know how many meals need to be prepared. They just ask for a $4 donation.

The Solve Beach Cleanup has been rescheduled for July 5. Beach Cleanups are always necessary after the 4th of July Celebrations. I like this idea!

The Salty Strings Ukulele Group is suspending all their jams immediately until further notice. We appreciate every-

one’s understanding and will look forward to seeing everyone again when this situation stabilizes. The Mookulele jams have also been canceled.

I expect lots of practicing until we meet again.

The Lions Bingo on Saturday evenings has been cancelled until the first weekend in April. I will update you if there are any changes.

Sadly, the Annual Rockaway Beach Easter Egg Hunt has been cancelled. This has been one of my personal favorite events ever!

Well, this was a really tough column to write. But what we are going through

brings out the good in so many. Some folks will always gripe about everything. They bring me down just listening to them. I choose to listen to those that are willing to be positive and are willing to help others wherever they can.

I have also learned that I am elderly. Hmm, I wasn’t aware, and don’t feel like I am.

God bless you all and keep you safe.

Spring adds new life and new beauty to all that is.”

Stay well friends. That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”

Stay calm and carry on” may not be the right mantra for Bay City right now. Maybe it should be “stay calm and stay home”. I appreciate Amanda Stanaway’s sign that she posted on her door at Mana’s Kitchen. It reads in part, “After consideration of the State and County condition of Covid-19, I have decided to close for two weeks starting on March 14th.

Although we have not seen a dramatic effect of the Corona virus in our neighborhood, the spread of such a disease can be stopped by active participation from all stewards of community space”. Since
