Governor expands block on evictions G
ov. Kate Brown on Wednesday, April 1, issued an executive order placing a 90-day moratorium on commercial evictions for nonpayment, in light of the impacts on business owners caused by the COVID-19 crisis. The order also strengthens Brown’s previous ban on residential evictions, and prohibits landlords from charging tenants late fees for nonpayment of rent during the moratorium.
“During this unprecedented public health crisis, too many Oregonians have found themselves with no way to pay the monthly rent for their homes and businesses,” Brown said. “These are difficult times. This order will help Oregon small businesses stay in their locations without the threat of eviction.” The previous executive order put a temporary moratorium on residential evictions for nonpayment in light of the public health emergency
caused by the spread of coronavirus in Oregon. The order is effective for 90 days as of March 22. “Through no fault of their own, many Oregonians have lost jobs, closed businesses, and found themselves without a source of income to pay rent and other housing costs during this coronavirus outbreak,” Brown said. “The last thing we need to do during this crisis is turn out more Oregonians struggling to make ends meet from their homes
and onto the streets. This is both a moral and a public health imperative. Keeping people in their homes is the right thing for Oregon families, and for preventing the further spread of COVID-19.” Under the Governor’s emergency powers, the order places a temporary hold throughout Oregon on law enforcement actions relating to residential evictions for not paying rent. Recognizing that landlords and property owners face
their own costs if tenants are not able to pay rent, the governor and her Coronavirus Economic Advisory Council are engaging lenders to find potential solutions and are exploring various state and federal policy options that might be available to provide assistance to borrowers or other options for relief. Oregon Housing and Community Services and the Department of Consumer and Business Services are also pursuing relief options.
County receives second delivery of protective equipment
Coronavirus
Tillamook jobless claims skyrocket
L
t. Gordon McCraw, the Tillamook County director of emergency management and incident commander for the Tillamook County COVID-19 Incident Command Team, accepted a shipment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) on Saturday, April 4. This was the second delivery that week. “This was not as much as I was hoping for but was more than we had so I am still grateful,” McCraw said in a press release. The PPE is to be distributed within the county in accordance with a directive outline to the county by OHA. OHA developed its PPE distribution process in partnership with the COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group (MAG). Through Monday, March 23, PPE Allocation from OHA was based on population and distributed through resource requests from each county. This process was not optimal in that counties that had COVID-19 positive patients were running out of PPE allocation and the request process was too lengthy. Upon approval by the MAG, OHA changed to regular PPE bulk shipments of received, purchased and donated items to all counties and tribes. This new process does not require counties and tribes to submit requests for individual locations. The shipments are made to one location in each county or tribe. If allotment is too small to ship, it may be delayed to the next shipment. The state will retain 30 percent for state agencies, life safety (urgent hospital or EMS requests over and above the distribution a county is able to provide) requests and OHA Operations missions (such as responding to a specific outbreak). If counties identify an urgent need, those are handled separately. The MAG plans to meet as needed to update the allocation. A reallocation could account for any additional supplies received from federal or other sources, or for greater impact of COVID-19 in some communities compared to others. McCraw said he hope to have additional deliveries but is uncertain as to when or how much will be received.

Nighttime theft increases in Tillamook T

night by persons who have a selfish purpose, Police Chief Terry Wright said. Tillamook is having thefts from vehicles, thefts of vehicles and thefts from private property. “We are all focusing on diligence in protecting our families and ourselves from the current emergency,” Wright said. “We need to also be diligent in protecting property.” Even with past releases and posting about guns left in vehicles, yet another gun theft from vehicle has been reported. Police say the vast majority of these guns are traded immediately for a very small amount of drugs. The guns are then sold cheaply to other persons who
otherwise could not legally have a gun. There is no reason to leave a gun in your vehicle, especially left in plain view or left in an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave anything in your vehicle if you do not need to. Even if you lock your vehicle, if there is an indication of something in your vehicle that can be traded for drugs, it will be taken. You will then be missing property and have to replace a broken window. Did you know you can show vehicle insurance on your phone in Oregon? When you leave identification in your vehicle and it is taken or possibly photographed,
Tillamook suggests you check your credit report every few months in case they used your information to open credit cards and other fraud. This action could take you months to years to fix. “It is amazing, especially in cold weather, how many people leave their vehicle running to warm it up or to run in to a store. I see it all the time,” Wright said. “If someone takes your vehicle and then you report it stolen, the vehicle could end up in a crash, pursuit or other criminal activity where persons could be

False report of child shot, hostage situation A
The order is part of the governor’s coronavirus housing and homelessness strategy, which includes expanding shelter capacity with social distancing measures in place, identifying emergency COVID-19 shelter options for people experiencing homelessness who must be isolated or quarantined, exploring options for rent assistance, seeking expansion of federal eviction moratoriums, and homeowner foreclosure avoidance.
woman was taken into custody after making a false report that a child was shot in the Tillamook area. At around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, April 1, Tillamook County Communications District 911 received a call from a woman who said a 5-yearold child had been shot in the chest, and a man was being held at gun
point in the 3000 block of Latimer Road. Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, and Tillamook Police Department responded to the call. When units arrived, two adults were contacted at the scene. After speaking with them the property was checked, and an additional adult and three
children were confirmed to be OK, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office. The woman who made the report was found by authorities, taken into custody and held for a mental health evaluation. Law enforcement and 911 were assisted on the call by Tillamook Fire and Adventist Ambulance.
illamook is among the hardest hit in the state for unemployment numbers in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. During the week starting March 22, the Oregon Employment Department received 92,700 initial claims for Unemployment Insurance Benefits. That represented a 21 percent increase from the previous record during the week starting March 15. By comparison, the agency received 4,900 initial claim filings during the week starting March 8. The Employment Department continues to take proactive steps to meet the unprecedented need for unemployment benefits, which is largely due to reduced hours and layoffs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sen. Jeff Merkley spoke out after national unemployment claims shot up to a record-shattering 6.6 million, showing the economic devastation of the coronavirus crisis. He said Oregon workers and small business owners are terrified about what the crisis means for their families and their futures. “Behind these historically bad numbers are millions of real people whose lives have been thrown into chaos through no fault of their own,” Merkley said. “We need to throw lifelines out to struggling families, and we need to get those lifelines out now.” Merkley said as the federal government works to implement its first relief package and Congress works to write the next one, there should be a priority on people and small business rather than the wealthy and powerful. “We need to make sure that help gets to every state and territory across this great nation—not just red states or blue states,” Merkley said. “And we need to do much more to help the working families who are the backbone of America, and who are facing a crisis the likes of which most of us have never seen.” Sen. Ron Wyden said he advocated for helping workers replace lost wages. He urged modernizing the unemployment system to include the self-employed and gig economy workers. “My provision in the COVID19 relief bill supercharges unemployment to provide workers with an additional $600 a week,” Wyden said. “This will be a lifeline for the millions of workers who have been hit by this economic wrecking ball.” Initial Claims The Employment Department has detailed information for 45,800 of the claims processed during the week starting March 22. The leisure and hospitality sector, which includes hotels and restaurants, saw the greatest number of initial claims for unemployment benefits (15,500). This reflects impacts of additional public health and safety measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many initial claims also came from workers in health care and social

Rollover crash driver cited for recklessness, false report Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net
A Bay City man was cited for reckless driving and making a false report after police said he rolled his car on State Route 6. At around 6:22 p.m. Monday, March 30, an Oregon State Police (OSP) trooper was dispatched to a rollover crash at around milepost 30 of the highway that runs between Tillamook and the Portland area. An occupied gray Dodge was found at the scene. Washington County deputies assisted by trying to reach the car’s registered owner. The OSP trooper was
advised that the car was recently sold to a person in Bay City. While the trooper was waiting for a tow truck to arrive, the new own called to report the car was stolen. Transportation Department employees remained at the crash scene to await the tow truck while the trooper went to follow up with the new owner, who police identified as 49-year-old Bay City resident George Christopher Norris. Norris allegedly began by telling the trooper he had parked at the Shell station in North Plains and left his key in the car, returned to find it gone, and got a ride

home from his son and a friend. The trooper reportedly pressed the young men for the truth, initially getting a similar story but later learning they were allegedly instructed by Norris to go along with his version of events. OSP said both the son and friend admitted Norris drove the car from the gas station and crashed on the highway before calling them for a ride back to Bay City and making the false report. Norris was issued a citation for initiating a false report and another for reckless driving. He was cited and released in lieu of custody.

Tillamook Bay Community College begins spring term online Hilary Dorsey headlightreporter@ countrymedia.net Classes at Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) began Monday, April 6. All courses will be taught online to comply with an executive order established by Gov. Kate Brown to not offer face-toface instruction on college campuses until April 28. Registration runs through Sunday, April 5, at midnight. Spring Term starts a week later than normal. “We had an extended spring break and all of the colleges in Oregon did that,” Tomlin said. “Mainly, that was to give our staff time to get all of their classes online.” This spring term, all of the credit classes will be online. Tomlin said the school typically has a fair number of classes online. TBCC has been offering online classes for nearly a decade with some degree options available completely online.

offered Spring Term are not normally online. “Students will not be able to interact directly face-toface with our staff,” Tomlin said. “They can come in and get on the phone in the lobby and talk to our staff or they can do that from home.” The building will be open mainly for students who do not have internet access at home. Students can check out laptops and the library will be open with internet connectivity during the term with social distancing in place. “If they are in need of a computer to help them with their online classes, that we will be able to check out computers for them starting on Monday,” Tomlin said. Tomlin said they will likely have a table set up in the lobby for checking out the laptops. The college is also expanding its WI-FI into the parking lot to be ready on April 6. “We also have a really strong food pantry,” Tomlin said. “We get food from the Oregon Food Bank and provide food and other items of need to our students through the food pantry and that is normally located in the library, and will probably be moved down to the lobby for the foreseeable future.” Tomlin said the school had originally thought it would have classes online through April 28 but classes may remain online throughout the term. A formal announcement on this will be made by the college sometime early this week. Some classes cannot be taught effectively online. Students who are enrolled in courses that cannot be taught online were contacted by a career academic advisor to revise their spring term schedule.

cancelled for spring term, as well as career-technical classes that involve handson learning, such as welding and manufacturing. Tomlin said these classes will be offered in the summer. All students registered for these classes were contacted and switched to online classes, such as general education. “Our plan, because we’re allowed to by the executive order, is to allow face-toface labs,” Tomlin said of the biology classes. “Our plan still is to do the online portion of biology classes the first three weeks of the spring term and offer faceto-face labs starting May 1 just for the biology classes.” Tomlin said there will be face shields for the students and small class sizes. The plan could change during the month of April, but as of now, that is the only class that would have face-to-face classes. “Our Small Business Development Center, which is run through the college even though the offices are closed, service is open right now,” Tomlin said. “Our Small Business Development Director Arlene Soto is putting out a lot of hours right now working with many, many small businesses here in Tillamook County and helping them apply for Small Business Administration loans and helping them in other ways to hang on until we get through this crisis.” The services are available online for how to connect with Soto. Tomlin said the college is working with local high schools in Tillamook County and helping their students get into online classes through the college. They are offering high school students free credit classes this term. “We’re feeling pretty fortunate here in Tillamook County and we’ve got such an amazing community that all pulls together,” Tomlin said. “We’re just wanting everyone to know the college is here to help the community any way we can and we’re going to be available to do anything that is within our power to try to help us get through all this.” All community events held on campus, facility rentals and group gatherings are cancelled or postponed. North Coast Throwdown on April 25 was also cancelled. “That was a fundraiser for our foundation, mainly for our career students,” Tomlin said. Tomlin said the foundation offers a career to career scholarship program. Stu-

Vacasa responds to coronavirus concerns Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net
Residents of the Oregon coast know there are always visitors in the community, more so during summertime and holidays. Despite warnings in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, the visitors came in droves for spring break. Many visitors stay in transient lodging – hotels, motels, RV parks and campgrounds. And normally the population swell is welcomed by local businesses, many of which depend on tourism to stay afloat in rural coastal towns. Due to growing worries about the pandemic, however, locals have been wary of outside visitors and even those who own second homes in the area. Seeing so many people from outside the community during ‘stay home’ mandates to prevent viral spread left some asking if short-term rental companies had moved quickly enough to take down advertising and cancel sold rooms. Others have questioned whether the cleaning staff for such businesses are properly prepared and
equipped against COVID-19. A Vacasa spokeswoman, public relations manager Anni Murphy said in an email that during this period of uncertainty the company is strongly encouraging everyone to follow health and safety guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Murphy said Vacasa is complying with orders and travel restrictions issued by federal, state and local governments. “Specifically, we are adhering to the recent order issued by Tillamook County, and we are cancelling reservations in the region as required,” Murphy said. Murphy said to the company’s knowledge, no Vacasa employees have tested positive for COVID-19 as of this past week. She said Vacasa is offering comprehensive health benefits including flexible time off and the ability to work remotely. “We employ local team members in every destination where we operate, which allows us the ability to ensure our homes are cleaned thoroughly in line with standards set by the World Health Organization and Health and
Safety Executive,” Murphy said. “We provide our valuable employees with the proper cleaning supplies per the CDC and Environmental Protection Agency for COVID-19, and we’re ensuring they’re able to work autonomously to adhere to social distancing recommendations.” Responding to the question of protective masks for cleaning staff, Murphy cited the short supply of masks and respirators and guidance that they should be reserved for people who are exhibiting symptoms or healthcare professionals working directly with sick patients. Vacasa employees have been instructed to stay home if they are feeling ill to minimize the risk of spreading illness. Facing the potential spread of coronavirus, county officials took significant action The welcome sign in Manzanita has been covered a notice that the town is to stop the flow of tourists closed to visitors.

No new coronavirus cases reported in Tillamook County Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net There were no new COVID-19 coronavirus cases reported in Tillamook County this week. County officials held a teleconference Monday, April 6, that began with updates from the Public Health Department and Adventist Tillamook. Marlene Putman, administrator at Tillamook County Community Health Centers, said around 100 people have been tested by her agency for coronavirus. Three cases were reported in Tillamook County this past week. In Oregon, 1,132 have tested positive and 29 have died from COVID-19, while more than 400 have been hospitalized and 82 people have been put on ventilators. Eric Swanson, Adventist Tillamook president, said the hospital launched an online symptom checker for
those who suspect they have COVID-19. He reminded the public there is an urgent care/ emergency room checkpoint in the former ambulance garage at the hospital to reduce potential viral exposure for patients. Virtual appointments are being rolled out as well. Swanson thanked those who have donated masks to hospital staff. With a state of emergency in place and orders to stay home when possible, Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto said he is noticing local residents are starting to get restless. People are still getting outside and down to the beaches for recreation, but parks and day-use areas are closed. Some have suggested letting locals roam free but keep outsiders away, however, Yamamoto said that would not be tenable. “Please just work with us. Things will get better,” Yamamoto said. “Hopefully soon,
but we just don’t know.” The Tillamook County Public Health Department reported March 29 there was a third positive case of coronavirus in the county. The person who was diagnosed is a south-county resident over the age of 65-years-old who was reportedly hospitalized in the Portland area. On March 28, Public Health announced the second coronavirus case in the county, a north-county resident who was recovering at home under quarantine. The second person with COVID-19 in Tillamook County was not reported to be a contact of the county’s first positive case. The county’s first case of coronavirus was reported March 26. That person is a health care provider between 35 and 54 years old who works at Tillamook County Community Health Centers and recovering at home. The Centers for Disease
Control is recommending simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Masks help prevent those who may have COVID-19 and not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth masks fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure. A significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (asymptomatic) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (pre-symptomatic) can transmit the virus to others
before showing symptoms. This means that the virus can spread between people interacting in close proximity even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms. The cloth face coverings
recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare and medical workers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Healthcare in the Time of Coronavirus
her health is in precipitous decline. She moved from the valley, and we needed to establish healthcare for her with local providers. As mom’s first appointment with August Fineout from Adventist Health Manzanita approached, staff called and asked to reschedule, in order to minimize mom’s risk of exposure to the Coronavirus. I appreciate that level of caution and concern; however my mom is not well and getting worse and we need help. Rather than having us come to the clinic, August Fineout and Dacia, her medical assistant, came to our house and cared for my mom, thoroughly masked and gloved,
This is a very stressful time for healthcare personnel, they’re on the frontlines of an unprecedented public health crisis, putting their own health at risk in order to care for ours. I would like to shout out to local healthcare providers as the heroes they are. Recently my mom received personal and compassionate healthcare services in our home from Adventist Health, which was a great reassurance and a service to us both. My mom moved in with me a month ago, because
practicing Coronavirus safety protocols. It was above and beyond the call of duty, and I am grateful. It is a strange time for all of us, navigating Coronavirus, and I am very thankful to have excellent healthcare available for my mom, and for everyone in our community. I am grateful to healthcare providers for the risks that they are taking by caring for others and I appreciate the accomodations they are making in order to provide care in the safest manner possible. Thank you. Mary Faith Bell Nehalem

I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight. The Tillamook Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is bound by Oregon Public Meetings Law and there are rules we are required to follow in a declared emergency. In the past two weeks things have been happening so fast with the COVID-19 public health crisis that the BOCC has called emergency meetings in order to provide strong leadership in a timely way. For example, when we were inundated with visitors on Saturday, March 21, we called an emergency meeting for Sunday, March 22 to address the issue and make decisions to protect our community. Things were evolving so fast that some of our meetings were only known a couple of hours before we needed to act. In every case we followed both the letter
and spirit of the law. Our meetings were available to attend in person or by teleconference. Let me reiterate that we did not violate any Oregon Open Meetings Laws. Our 8 a.m. meetings occur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and are live streamed on KTIL. We have followed and continue to follow the open meeting law requirements for notice. Currently, to comply with the Governor’s order of social distancing and limits of 10 people in a group, we are not able to accommodate live attendance at our regular m eetings. We allow the public to phone in and listen and to e-mail questions or testimony during the meeting. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those in the community that are working so hard to support each other. The decisions we made the
past two weeks were difficult. Closing the motels, short term rentals, parking lots and boat launches was one of the hardest I have had to make. There were sleepless nights in the decision, but it was correct for the protection of our residents. I am heartened by the fact that all seven cities in Tillamook County, our lodging providers, restaurants and residents understand the need to protect everyone in our community over the next couple of months. In this time of unprecedented crisis our communities have come together in the ‘Tillamook Way’: we fight, we argue, we jump up and down then we come to together and do the right thing.

My wife just had a heart attack over the stress of no income and worrying. She was sent to Tillamook Hospital ,I wasn’t allow in. Then sent her to a Portland Hospital and I also wasn’t allowed in. Why are they allowed to come here but not the otherway around? Does someone have a answer to this problem.?Or will we just keep passing on Covid/19. Bob Matson, PC Resident 50 years.
You will soon be receiving your ballot in the mail for the May primary election. Voting is a privilege and should not be taken lightly. Please vote. With the “Stay Safe, Stay Home” restriction surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, campaigning in the traditional way with door knocking, coffees or forums is not happening. I am sorry for that and hope times will get better prior to the general election in November. Most information can be obtained online and through conferencing. My website, www.AndersonforOregon.com and my Facebook page, Dick Anderson for Oregon, are available for information and continual updates. I hope you will take time to visit these sites. I would ask you to share my information with your friends and neighbors. State Senate District 5 runs from Tillamook to Coos Bay including Sheridian and Falls City. We are a rural district that has been forgotten by the urban politicians. I look forward to meeting you in person on the more traditional campaign trail before the general election. We are all in this together. Stay safe and Stay home Dick Anderson Lincoln City

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We need to self quarantine I’m writing this after hearing the horrible news about a positive test for Covid 19. I am having a problem with people who have been tested and continue to work around the people they are supposed to care for. We have all been told to self quarantine when any suspicion of exposure or having been tested. I find it totally irresponsible to expose people when there is any question whatsoever. I don’t care if you are a healthcare provider,Senator,or the common citizens. This is serious and it calls for serious actions and serious people to deal with this crisis. Mike Richards Bay City
Fight to keep our water safe Concurrently with the coronavirus public health emergency that is going on, many people who live in rural communities near the Oregon Coast are also concerned about their ongoing exposure to smoke and pesticide spray. One concern is the smoke and pesticide spray caused by outdated industrial forestry practices that put the health of the public at risk. Smoke from prescribed burning of wood is a major source of dioxin and other toxic emissions, damaging both our health and our environment. Exposure to smoke and pesticides can have both short and long-term adverse health consequences. Those of us living on the Coast are concerned that with potential exposure to the novel coronavirus, which can result in serious respiratory infections, toxic chemicals in the air from smoke and pesticide spraying puts our health at even more risk. We are requesting that the Governor issue an executive order banning all prescribed burning and aerial pesticide spraying. As it is, people who live and work at the Coast are already adversely affected by existing
policies that allow burning and pesticide spraying..... policies that can endanger public health by sending harmful substances into the air we breathe and the water we drink. As someone associated with North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection recently wrote, “At a time of sheltering at home, those who have sought spray notifications in the past [notification prior to the spraying of pesticides by timber companies so that nearby residents can evacuate the area] will not be able to go elsewhere without additional virus exposure. So, can we please ask that the State impose a spray ban when folks are supposed to stay at home?” There currently is no vaccine against this coronavirus; so, we have been told to “stay home and stay safe.” At the same time, it would be possible to stop slash/prescribed burning and aerial pesticide spraying, both of which are not essential activities. Even during this State of Emergency, the application of pesticides both from the air and at ground level continues across rural Oregon. In many rural areas, aerial spraying is done near highly vulnerable populations, including near health care facilities, longterm convalescent homes, and communities with many people older than sixty. Please inform your friends and neighbors. Share the message you send to Governor Brown with local news sources, other elected officials, and government agencies. Call Governor Brown, it only take a minute, it’s painless, and it will make you feel like you are doing something to help, because you are! Here is contact information for the Governor of Oregon: Gov. Kate Brown, Office of the Governor, 900 Court Street NE, Suite 254 Salem, OR 97301-4047 Phone: (503) 378-4582 https://www.oregon.gov/ gov/Pages/contact.aspx Our name, North Coast
Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly known as Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection), reflects our working together on a regional basis to insure that the air we breathe and the water we drink are safe.
Be nice in time of crisis
I want to thank the Tillamook County Commissioners for taking quick and affirmative action to protect this county from the invading hoards of city dwellers who find themselves with nothing to do. We are not equipped the deal with this mass of people and the health treat they bring. The commissioners evidently decided that we “Can’t wait on Kate” and took the needed action. Thank you from South County.
I believe that it is important to be Courteous when purchasing your Toilet paper and other essential goods because we know that you are trying to take care of your family but with the crisis we need to take care of our families too. So please only purchase what you need. What I’m proposing is that if everyone only bought the amount of toilet paper and essential goods that they needed at their normal rate then we would all be fine in continuously being able to supply toilet paper and other essential goods to our families to meet their needs. If we do this there would be no shortage so if people are responsible with the amount they bought and don’t go overboard there would be no shortage. So please be considerate when purchasing stuff like toilet paper, canned goods, your oatmeal, and all things disinfectant.

Manzanita city council should listen to voters Just four months ago, Manzanita voters surprised City Council with a resounding NO to Council’s plan for a new City Hall building with 30 year bond funding. In response, Council members pledged to listen to citizens’ concerns and reformulate their plan to move City Hall with an expensive plan to the Underhill Property and to consider renovating the existing Underhill building as an alternative at lower costs. Initially, Council members were surprised by the strong voter turnout and 68% negative vote. Voters were saying in a loud clear voice that they did not want to go into debt for a too large, too expensive new structure. Council pledged to listen to the voters and reconsider the plan including the remodel design and cost estimate circulated as an alternative. Sounds good? Actually the City Council is tone deaf. Council paid lip service to the remodel
We need to enforce commissioners’ orders I live in Pacific City. I’ve noticed an influx of tourists even after the commisioners of Tillamook County voted to shut down short term rentals. Not only are these visitors horde buying at our tiny grocery store, they are able to rent homes to my shock! Just visit VRBO.com or Airbnb and one can easlily rent over 60+ homes as soon as tommorrow. As a recently laid off housekeeper, I know the company I work for has blocked out all homes until May. I’m angered that SO MANY homeowners have ignored the mandate and continued to spread Covid-19. These people are not passing through, they are staying here. What are we supposed to do? Please Help. Kind Regards Stay Well Loree Shannon Pacific City

plan and have not completed a full cost estimate or even completed an inspection of the Underhill property. Now, they seem to be reformulating their own new build plan : adopt a smaller building , use different funding, maybe even complete their plan without a vote of the citizens for the new debt. Justification? To keep the staff happy? Because a bank knows the credit from a City is always good because our taxes can be raised to pay the debt? Because it will be their legacy? At a minimum this is bad faith with their citizens they represent . True leadership by City Council is to open their ears and listen to their constituents. Doing an end run around the voters is poor leadership. City Council should conduct a true study of a new building plan versus a remodeling plan with competitive designs, cost estimates and options to fund. After publicizing the results, let voters weigh in on the results.

County pays $300,000 for cyberattack ransom Cody Mann headlightnews@countrymedia.net

illamook County officials revealed that a $300,000 ransom was paid to regain data access after a cyberattack. The ransom amount was disclosed during the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, March 11. Commissioner Bill Baertlein, reading from a prepared statement, said it could have taken 12-24
months and cost $1 million to unlock the county’s computer system if a ransom went unpaid. “The county’s rapid and aggressive response to the incident mitigated the compromise and contained the encryption to 17 of 55 servers and five of 280 county workstations,” Baertlein said. The attack was reportedly carried out by an international cybercriminal organization known to law enforcement both nationally and internationally. The prepared county

March 14, to declare a local state of emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak. Most county offices will close to the public, operating by phone and email instead. Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein said the declaration was necessary due to the rapidly developing situation around COVID-19. Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and David Yamamoto agreed with the necessity. No COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the county at this time. “Are we going to be infected,” Yamamoto said. “I can tell you pretty much yes, we will.” Votes for a resolution declaring the emergency and enacting a contingency plan passed unanimously.
The state of emergency will last until April 1, when it will be reevaluated. “This is a very fluid situation and things are changing rapidly,” Yamamoto said. Concerned about the impact of a possible COVID-19 spread in the area, Bell said with only a few intensive care beds, Tillamook County lacks the capacity to handle a serious outbreak. Access to the Tillamook County Courthouse will be screened. County department offices at the courthouse will serve the public by appointment. The Community Development office will close to the public but will serve people by phone and email. County Public Works will be closed to the public, though the solid waste transfer stations remain open. The north courthouse entrance will be closed. Those who need

simple mounding of the soil to the construction of waistheight trugs like the ones in the Master Gardener Learning Garden that need the expertise of a carpenter or handyperson. Getting good soil into those raised beds may take purchasing bags of topsoil from a nursery or landscape supplier. But while those beds are being raised or built, you can make a start on planting seeds. Something that most people don’t take into consideration when choosing seeds is what vegetables will you and your family be willing to eat. No sense planting kale or kohlrabi if no one likes it, but if you love kale and kohlrabi, go for it. Once you
have made a list of preferred veggies, the easiest way to find the ones you want is to go online to a site like Nichols Seeds (nicholsgardennursery. com) or Territorial Seed Company (territorialseed.com) as they both are located in the Pacific Northwest so their seeds are adapted for our area. Their on-line catalogs aren’t as fun to leaf through as the ones they mail, but in either case, they are filled with important information. Each entry will tell you how many days there are from direct sowing - or in some cases, germination - to harvest. Look for varieties with the lowest number of days as we have already lost a couple of weeks by starting so late in the season. I would advise against planting crops like melons because we just don’t get enough heat for them to ripen. But certainly zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, beans, peas and lettuces are easy to grow and will give you a great feeling of success.

If there was ever a time we need to be in the garden, its now. And if you have never considered trying to plant seeds and growing some of your own veggies, that time has come as well. As I write my column for this week, I am – with the rest of the world – on a voluntary self-quarantine for the Covid 19 virus. I admit to actually enjoying time at home that I hadn’t planned on to get some spring cleaning started and since the weather has been so nice, some gardening in as well. Gardening is the perfect pastime in these circumstances. It can be done outside. It can be done alone or at least away from others. It is exercise in the fresh air. It can be a way to improve mood as well physical well-being. Now all we need is a project to work on. Regular readers of my column may remember that starting seeds is not one of my preferred ways to propagate plants. I don’t have the patience and I don’t seem to have the knack. But – before the coronavirus took over all our waking hours - I was able to attend a Master Gardener class on Propagation and one of the segments was starting plants from seed. So I can relate the best practices info and you can decide for yourself if it is something you would like to try. First, you need to explore your yard and see if there is a place that gets a lot of sun – light is the single most important part of growing seeds - and is sheltered from the wind. The winds will be shifting to coming from the north soon, so protection from the north wind is important. Also important is the type of soil in your chosen spot. And if the soil isn’t great and you don’t have access to compost to amend it, you might consider raised beds. There are so many forms of raised beds from the very

The Klobases recently had a fun virtual get-together with their daughter Ellery and her family, who live in Gladstone. Ellery and her husband, David, and their two children dressed up for a formal Saturday night dinner. Ellery made invitations to the event and slipped them under eight-year-old Reed’s and five-year-old Willow’s bedroom doors. Grandma Spike and Grandpa
Randy, here in Cape Meares, received their invitations online. Ellery dressed in her wedding gown while David wore a tuxedo; Willow decorated her face with stickers; Reed came as a menacing comic book character; no report on what the grandparents wore, but I was told they would be formal only from the waist up. The menu featured homemade ravioli and strawberry cake. Too bad Grandma and Grandpa couldn’t taste that, but still a fun family time! Another set of grandparents, Kathy and Kevin Burke, enjoyed a virtual concert from grandson Theron
the other night. Tuned in via FaceTime from Cape Meares, the Burkes saw and heard Theron play his trumpet in a personal concert. What a blast—literally! As I mentioned last week, our five children are keeping in touch with us via the Marco Polo one-way video chat. We and the five of them record a chat daily; it’s been a good way to support each other. Please let me know if you have found a way to stay connected with family and friends during this lockdown.

reetings Bay City. I am so impressed with the Bay City Arts Center! In the middle of the pandemic they are offering creative and unique programs and classes. Especially at this time, they continue to find ways to bring the arts to our community. They have now unveiled the Covid-19 Art Initiative Project. It begins on April 6th and is open to youth ages 2 to 18 with weekly themed art topics and chances to win Fred Meyer gift cards. This is a free eight-week art project. Entries will be reproduced in a book format following the project to serve as an artistic documentary of this historic time in our lives. They also have a new Covid-19 website page with online art education supplement lessons, printable for home education.

Be careful when choosing your seeds as many don’t like to be transplanted and will need to be direct sown into the ground. Others will want to be sown a few weeks in advance and you can use easy things like egg cartons to start those. Seeds generally need a lighter soil to start in and this type of soil is called “germination mix.” It is disease-free and weed-free

Each type of vegetable will have a required soil temperature into which they can be planted, so if you are planting directly into the outside soil, be sure the soil is warm enough for the seeds to be happy. A soil thermometer is a valuable tool for testing temps. There is a lot of science involved in growing seeds but it can be very rewarding.

am normally a very positive person, but this pandemic has me battling both joy and sorrow. I figure if I have this inner battle going on, many of you do too.

State agencies ask for refrain from outdoor burning
In response to the “Stay Home, Save Lives” Executive Order to reduce the effects of the COVID-19 virus, a coalition of Oregon state agencies are asking Oregonians to voluntarily refrain from conducting outdoor burning. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office (OSFM), Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) recognize that many Oregonians use fire as a
necessary tool to manage their lands, including industrial forest landowners, farmers, small woodland owners, and rural residents. However, it’s important to weigh possible effects on the wider community before choosing to burn. Please be a good neighbor. Smoke from fires during the current pandemic may result in the following negative consequences for the public and first responders: Smoke inhalation can cause upper respiratory symptoms, which could be incorrectly attributed to CO-
VID-19, leading to unnecessary testing or self-isolation. Exposure to smoke and other forms of air pollution can increase the risk of contracting infectious respiratory disease such as COVID-19, increase the severity of existing respiratory infections, and worsen underlying chronic respiratory conditions. There is a severe shortage of personal protective equipment to reduce smoke exposure at this time. First responders and other emergency services are operating at a reduced capacity
and have limited resources to respond to out-of-control burns. COVID-19 affects the respiratory system. Fever, cough and difficulty breathing are the most common symptoms. While some people with COVID-19 are hospitalized, most patients recover at home, where smoke from a nearby outdoor burn could worsen their condition. To avoid additional health impacts, all people in Oregon are asked to voluntarily refrain from conducting outdoor burning activities until further
notice.
Burning that can be delayed includes: • Debris burning around one’s property • Burn barrels • Industrial burning • Slash and forest burning • Agricultural burning that would impact neighbors and can be delayed Local officials may already have prohibited outdoor burning in your area. If you must conduct outdoor burning, please first check with your
local fire agency to see if outdoor burning is still allowed. If it is, please follow best burn practices, which can be found on the website of the Office of the State Fire Marshall. DEQ, ODF, OSFM, and ODA encourage the public to use the following alternatives to burning when available: • Recycle paper products when possible • Compost or chip yard debris on site • Haul to a yard debris composting or recycling site • Reuse old lumber

Structured to recognize the hardworking team members on the front lines, the company’s e-commerce pickers and drivers, store associates, distribution center associates and manufacturing plant associates will receive a temporary $2 an hour increase above their regular hourly pay and overtime. “In ways that we could not even imagine, overnight, our country changed – and as a result it changed the way our teams conduct business,” said Vivek Sankaran, president and CEO. “I am so proud to say our teams did not skip a step. In our manufacturing plants, distribution centers and in our stores, our associates are working tirelessly to serve our customers,” Sankaran said. “They work every day to keep our communities fed, their pantries and medicine cabinets stocked, and to ensure one less worry on our customers’ minds as we all face this unprecedented pandemic.” The temporary increase, which was requested by the company’s division presidents and supported by the board of directors and the company’s owners, including Cerberus Capital Management was effective March 15 for approximately 230,000 Albertsons’ associates. The company will evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis and make changes as necessary. “These times are unprecedented in the grocery industry,” Sankaran said. “This simple ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem like quite enough – and we hope our sincere appreciation with this program is a start.” # On March 21, Albertsons Companies began implementing social
distancing protocols across more than 2,200 stores. The goal with the protocol throughout the store is to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control to prevent customers from being within 6 feet of any other person for more than 10 minutes. “Social distancing can make a significant difference in our communities as we face this pandemic,” Sankaran said. “Our stores are following the guidance from the CDC with regard to regular hand washing and enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols. We believe that the next step toward helping slow and contain the COVID-19 virus is by reinforcing proper social distancing whenever possible.” The company is installing designated waiting points through floor markers positioned throughout the store, especially at check stands and stations where people most often congregate, like the service deli, bakeries and pharmacy areas. Customers will also be asked to wait until the customer in front of them has finished collecting their groceries before unloading their groceries at the check stand. “We have seen our customers begin to implement social distancing on their own with our ‘two carts apart’ reminders as they shop our stores, so we think our floor markers will increase awareness,” Sankaran said. “We know that with our customers’ help, along with other safety measures have implemented in our stores, we can create safer environments and help our communities contain the spread of this contagious disease.” As an added precaution during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, Albertsons Companies is installing Plexiglas in its checkout lanes as a protective barrier between customers and checkers. In addition to the installation of Plexiglas, the stores have taken a number of precautions, including:
• Pausing self-service operations like soup bars, wing bars, and salad bars. • Enhancing measures to clean and disinfect 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. Cart wipes and hand sanitizer stations continue to be available at key locations within the store for customers’ convenience. • Asking associates to follow CDC guidelines, wash hands frequently, and stay home if they feel sick. • Reserving special times for seniors and other vulnerable shoppers who must leave home to obtain their groceries, unless otherwise locally mandated. The company is asking non-seniors and non-at-risk shoppers to avoid shopping at these times. Fred Meyer also recently announced it would provide all hourly frontline grocery, supply chain, manufacturing, pharmacy and call center associates with a ‘Hero Bonus’ – a $2 premium above their standard base rate of pay, applied to hours worked March 29 through April 18. The premium will be disbursed weekly to ensure associates have access to additional cash. The announcement follows and is in addition to Fred Meyer’s previous commitment shared on March 21, which provided a one-time bonus to frontline associates paid out on April 3. “Our associates have displayed the true actions of a hero, working tirelessly on the frontlines to ensure everyone has access to affordable, fresh food and essentials during this national emergency,” said Dennis Gibson, president of Fred Meyer. “The Hero Bonus is just one more way we continue to convey our thanks and gratitude not only to our existing associates but also to the many new hires who have joined us in the past two weeks and those who will soon join Fred Meyer Stores.”
“Recently, we announced an appreciation bonus for our hourly frontline associates. This gesture was to thank our associates for everything they have done during the past few weeks,” said Sara Parker, director of human resources for Fred Meyer. “However, we recognize that this crisis is far from over, and after reflecting on associate feedback, we want to further acknowledge our terrific team for their hard work to date as well as the work yet to come.” To protect associates and customers and flatten the curve, Fred Meyer has taken several preventive steps, including: • Enhancing daily sanitation practices, including cleaning commonly used areas more often like cashier stations, self-checkouts, credit card terminals, food service counters and shelves. • Installing plexiglass partitions at check lanes, and pharmacy and Starbucks registers across the enterprise. • Adding floor decals to promote physical distancing at check lanes and other counters. • Adjusting store operating hours to allow more time for associates to rest, clean and replenish inventory. • Continuing to expand pickup and delivery services and contactless payment solutions like Kroger Pay. In addition to the ‘Hero Bonus’ and appreciation bonus, Fred Meyer is taking several additional actions to support associates during this extraordinary time, including: • Ensuring associates who are affected by COVID-19 – whether experiencing symptoms and selfisolating, diagnosed or placed in quarantine – can recover with the support of emergency paid leave. • Fred Meyer is adding ExpressPay – a new benefit that allows most hourly associates to access some of their pay faster, putting money in their pockets sooner than usual. • Parent company, Kroger, is making $5 million available for those facing hardship, including lack
of access to childcare and for those considered higher-risk, due to COVID-19 through the Kroger Family of Companies Helping Hands fund. • Offering an associate hotline to answer benefit questions quickly. • Providing access to mental health services and other benefits to support associates’ mental and physical well-being during this stressful time. • Supporting associates by onboarding many new hires in the last two weeks, including workers from the hardest-hit sectors like restaurants, hotels and food service distributors. The Kroger Family of Companies is also uplifting communities in a variety of ways during this unprecedented time, including: • The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation is rapidly deploying more than $3 million in hunger-relief resources to communities disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus pandemic through its nonprofit partners, Feeding America and No Kid Hungry. The funding will not only support local food banks nationwide, but also fund initiatives that ensure children, whose schools may be closed, still have access to nutritious meals. • Making it easy for customers to support The Kroger Co. Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Foundation’s mission to create communities free of hunger and waste by choosing to roundup their purchases to the nearest dollar at every self-checkout lane or donate at ZeroHungerZeroWasteFoundation.org. • Donating food and funds to local food banks and hunger-relief efforts. • The Kroger Co. Foundation supported the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program and Disaster Responder Program at the $500,000 level for 2020, enabling the Red Cross to develop capacity, leaders and resources to provide relief.

Local business owner seeks funds to build 10 ventilators for Adventist Health Hilary Dorsey headlightreporter@ countrymedia.net
Jeremy Saldate, a small business owner of Harmonium, LLC in Tillamook has started a GoFundMe account to raise enough capital to build 10 ventilators for local use. To try to combat an anticipated upcoming ventilator shortage, he hopes to create stopgap devices based on designs provided by the MIT Emergency Ventilator (E-Vent) Project to support Tillamook County Regional Medical Center. Harmonium, LLC has been in Tillamook since 2015. Saldatge provides comprehensive network penetration testing services, aiding clients in discovering vulnerabilities, repairing those vulnerabilities, conducting threat modeling, updating infrastructure to mount a proactive defense, and forming an incident response plan, including a disaster recovery plan. “I focused on the health care sector,” Saldate said. “My customers right now, none of them are primary care physicians. They all practice different specialties.” Most of Saldate’s clients are in the Portland area, with some in Tillamook. Because of the Centers for Disease Control order sent out in March, they have all shut down. Some are open for emergency only. These clients
are worried about whether they will be in business after the crisis. “As little as six weeks ago, I was looking at booking up my entire calendar for 2020,” Saldate said. “A lot of that was referral work, a lot of that was through networking, and now all of that within the last few weeks has dried up.” A vast majority of the projects have been put on hold or cancelled. “The Health and Human Services has issued a freedom from liability,” Saldate said. “It’s a liability waiver, for any kind of interventions, which is what makes this possible.” Saldate has first-hand experience with manufacturing devices. He also has 20 years of professional programming experience. He will be manufacturing the ventilators in this project. “Because this is within my ability, I found this open source design that MIT has produced and I’ve talked to people at the local hospital about the project and they’ve got a lot of interest in seeing this come about,” Saldate said. Saldate said Adventist Health is worried about the supply chain having the number of ventilators they need. The goal of this project is to minimize the loss of human life where possible, by supplying qualified clinicians with the tools they need during the COVID-19 crisis,
to free up ICU ventilators to support the most critical patients, or support patients in life or death situations when there is no other option. “The timing on this is really critical,” Saldate said. “In talking with Tillamook County Regional Medical Center, they expect a full force of the pandemic to hit Tillamook County within the next few weeks.” Saldate said it is difficult to know when that will happen and the severity. It depends on the community’s willingness and ability to self-isolate. If resources become overwhelmed, everyone can be affected. Saldate’s goal is to raise $25,000. He said it is difficult to know the exact cost; this is just an estimate of what he needs. He does not need the Jeremy Saldate, owner of Harmonium, LLC in Tillamook has started a GoFundfull amount to get started. The Me account to raise enough capital to build 10 ventilators for local use.

United Paws navigates adoption during COVID-19 restrictions United Paws is near an all-time low, with just seven cats available for adoption. They adopted three in the past couple of weeks, the low number due to restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kelly Halvorsen of United Paws, said they are adopting cats in the county, and telling applicants out of county that they cannot adopt them at this time but will process their applications for future adoptions. Halvorsen said the organization uses the Tillamook County Library for a lot of things,
which is currently closed. Their April 11 Adopt-A-Thon has been cancelled. They are working out the particulars for adoptions and are not encouraging meet and greets. “It’s going to be great to have it now, but when this is all over, you are going to have a cat,” Halvorsen said about the increase in interest in adopting right now. There will be kittens coming around the corner, Halvorsen said. A litter was born in the county and will likely be coming into the system soon. She asks that people remain patient during this time. United Paws needs donations. Kirkland Maintenance Cat Food is needed and is some-
thing everyone can get. She also asks people to share United Paws’ Facebook page. Social media is their greatest publicity, she said. Halvorsen said they cannot do foster training right now because of the pandemic. She pulled the cats from Petfinder, as she was receiving applications from out of county that she had to turn down. She hopes that in two to three weeks, she can open that up again. One kitten will likely be adopted tomorrow, Halvorsen said.
“Stick with us,” Halvorsen said. If you have cats that have kittens, the sooner you notify United Paws, the easier it will be to get them adopted in a timely manner. If you have feral kittens, they can be tamed within six to eight weeks; United Paws just needs to be notified as soon as possible. If you have kittens, you can contact United Paws through their Facebook page United Paws of Tillamook or by calling at 503-8425633.

Wellness partners mobilize to support community in crisis Staying connected and informed is key to keeping our community strong. In the wake of COVID-19, community partners have banded together to support the health and well-being of local residents. We wanted to shine a light on some of the ways Tillamook County Wellness community partners are taking care of each other and Making Healthy Happen – even during a crisis.
Healthcare Partners are Keeping our Community Safe & Healthy: • Tillamook County Community Health Centers has set up a drive-up health check point using the mobile clinic van, located on Pacific & 9th Street in Tillamook. They also have a nurse’s line so people can call ahead for guidance and to schedule appointments (503) 8423940. Visit their website for more information at https:// tillamookchc.org/ • Adventist Health has Urgent Care and ER check points where all visitors, employees and patients receive temperature checks and where the best path for care can be determined for those who need it. A virtual chat line for COVID-19 can be found on their website at https://www.adventisthealth. org/tillamook/. • Rinehart Clinic is also modifying the way they provide patient care during this time. Be sure to visit their website to learn more and for information on how to get signed up for the Oregon Health Plan. https://www. rinehartclinic.org/ Tillamook County COVID-19 Volunteer group,
spearheaded by the Tillamook County Pioneer: • This group created an opportunity for volunteer efforts to be coordinated and mobilized very quickly. Through their work, individual needs are being met with a rapid response. They have also created a way for those wanting to serve to do so through intake forms found in the group’s Facebook page and on the Tillamook County Pioneer’s website. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED for local food pantries and meal deliveries. Be sure to sign up for a shift if you are able and at low risk for exposure. There is also a printable, paper form people can fill out and send in for needs requests.
Helping the Helpers • Many community members have brought food and supplies to show their appreciation for our healthcare providers and other frontline workers, including everyone working at grocery stores and restaurants offering take-out meals. We extend our gratitude for their selfless service. • A special shout-out to our partners at the Tillamook County Creamery Association for delivering ice cream to our public health and hospital employees! It has been a bright spot for tired workers! Tillamook County Family YMCA Hotline: • The YMCA has donated staff and resources to operate a COVID-19 Resource hotline. The hotline is available to all Tillamook County residents, YMCA membership is not needed. In addition to lending a
friendly voice to those who are feeling isolated, this service is providing people with information on how to access resources in the county. The hotline is operational from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week by phone: 503374-0750, or email: help@ tillamookymca.org. Personal Protective Equipment Donation Sites: • Adventist Health has placed mask donation bins in place at the Adventist Health Tillamook medical center front entrance and the urgent care/emergency department check point, as well as by entrances at the Pacific City and Manzanita medical offices. • The YMCA has setup a donation site for new, unopened personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks and gloves. A list of needed PPE and supplies is available on Tillamook County Wellness’s COVID-19 Resource page. Donations are to be dropped off at the front door of the YMCA (610 Stillwell Ave) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Appointments can be scheduled through help@ tillamookymca.org.
Food Pantries & Meal Deliveries • Northwest Senior & Disability “Meals on Wheels” deliveries continue thanks to volunteer drivers. All senior dining centers are offering a “Pick Me Up Café” at the Tillamook, Nehalem and Pacific City dining center locations. People who would normally come to the center for a meal will have the option to
Volunteers unload food at YMCA in Tillamook. come and pick up a hot meal to go during the regularly scheduled time for lunches to be served. • For a complete list of food pantries, where you can receive or volunteer services, visit our Tillamook County Wellness website. A huge thank you goes out to the Oregon Food Bank Tillamook County branch and all their staff for ensuring access to food to people in need. • Tillamook School District staff volunteers are delivering meals to students along regular bus routes.

Commonly known as: 6790 UNION AVENUE, BAY CITY, OR 97107 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $8,478.05 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $181,253.18 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you
tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, towit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 8/1/2019, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 7/8/2020 at the hour of 9:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Front Entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, located at 201 Laurel Avenue, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 County of TILLAMOOK, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien
upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest MEGAN HERNANDEZ 6790 UNION AVENUE BAY CITY, OR 97107 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 800280-2832 or Login to: www.auction.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor� includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee� and “beneficiary� include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.
