he Tillamook County Board of Commissioners approved at their board meeting on Wednesday, June 3, the COVID-19 reopening framework Phase II application to send to the governor’s
office. The documentation, submitted to the governor’s office on June 3, demonstrates the county’s readiness to move into Phase II, effective Monday, June 8. Gov. Kate Brown announced Thursday, June 4, approval of Tillamook County to move into Phase 2 reopening on Monday, June 8.
“I can’t believe how few requirements there are for us to apply for Phase 2 opening,” Commission Chair David Yamamoto said. Yamamoto said the effective date of June 8, rather than June 5, gives the county better opportunity to get everything in order. Tillamook County was ap-

proved to move into Phase I on May 15 and has continued to work with community partners to expand testing efforts and to promote physical distancing and hygiene. As of June 3, the county has no active cases of COVID-19 and no hospitalizations related to the virus. The county continues to work with local first responders and attest
that they have a 30-day supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) on hand. “Clatsop County to our north is in much worse shape,” Yamamoto said. “We’re still at six cases; Lincoln County I believe is at 11 or 12 cases. Clatsop County is well over 20 cases.” Tillamook County continues

Tillamook County rally shows support for Black Lives Matter Chelsea Yarnell Guest Contributor
“Racism isn’t an option.” “Black Lives Matter.” “Silence is compliance.” “I can’t breathe.” These were just some of the many signs that more than 200 people displayed in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in Tillamook on June 6. Attendees gathered at Sue H. Elmore Park in Tillamook and then dispersed to each side of Highway 101 for the hourlong rally deemed a gathering for “justice and equality in tribute to George Floyd.” South County residents Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen helped organized the event. “It’s not a problem that is just in big cities,” Bassett said. “The racism and
bigotry in this country has gone on for too long. It’s simply an attitude that simply has not been dealt with. And it won’t be dealt with until we really look in ourselves and examine that.” Bassett is a co-founder of Progressive Action Tillamook that aims to create a safe community for all people to thrive. “The reason we we’re doing this is because we haven’t [fully changed attitudes],” Bassett said. “Education is a great tool, but we also have to educate ourselves and look deep in our own souls. Us in rural Tillamook County…we’re not exposed to a lot of diversity, but it is there and it is there in our world and we need to look at it and start questioning it. Maybe now we can finally start treating the symptoms and not just putting a band-aid on it.”
Kazen estimated that over half of those in attendance were young families. “I was so impressed…with how many people with young kids were there… which was very encouraging to me,” Kazen said. “People want to see a change.” To ensure safety of attendees, Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright and an additional Tillamook Police officer were present. Also, in attendance were Oregon House of Representatives David Gomberg, Tillamook County Commissioner Elect Erin Skaar, and Oregon House of Representatives’ District 32 candidate Debbie Boothe-Schmidt. Vigils for the Black Lives Matter movement will take place until further notice every Saturday from noon- 1 p.m. at Sue H. Elmore Park in Tillamook.

estucca High School held their senior commencement on Friday, June 5, at Cape Kiwanda. The event was livestreamed through a link on the school district’s website, as only graduates and their immediate family were allowed to attend the ceremony due to social distancing guidelines. Superintendent Misty Wharton said in her message that the graduating class remains successful through the pandemic. She knows this is now how the class envisioned their senior year. “One single person can have a huge impact on the world so please don’t underestimate your impact,” Wharton said. “When you go out in that world and live your truth, and your reality, always remember that other people’s truths and reality is different, but there’s enough room in the world to accept all of that.” Wharton said the group is fun and have always practiced acceptance, always being welcoming and accepting of others. “I’m proud of you,” Wharton said. “You’re going to be the only class that graduates at the Pacific Ocean with Haystack Rock in the background.” A senior slideshow presentation showed various photos of seniors, as well as the parade procession that took place May 15. The Class of 2020 had driven down Hwy 101 with various members of the community standing outside their homes and in town cheering the students on. Veronica Chavarin, class president and valedictorian, spoke about Black Lives Matter in her class welcome. She thanked Susan Smith for helping set up the graduation, as well as the people in the parking lot and those listening at home. Salutatorian Olivia Leslie thanked the teachers at Nestucca High School for preparing the class for what’s to come. She said the class missed having those last few months in class with students and teachers and that the class is composed of some of the best individuals she could have grown up with. “I find it bizarre that in minutes, we will all walk across this stage and receive our diplomas,” Leslie said. “Attending graduations over the years

But for Boatswain Mate 1st Class Jimmy Thrall, he plows through the surf behind the wheel of a boat to save people or vessels in distress. Specifically, a 47-foot boat owned by the U.S. Coast Guard. His title: ‘Surfboat Driver’ or ‘Surfman.’ Thrall, a resident of Bay City, began his career with the Coast Guard in 2005 and has been at Station Tillamook Bay for the past five years. “I entered boot camp at Cape May, New Jersey in February of 2005,” Thrall said. “That was for eight weeks, which was followed by cutter duty. “I was on the buoy tender cutter ‘Anthony Petit’ from 2005 through 2006 and then on the cutter ‘Active’ from 2006 through 2008.” Thrall sailed on the ‘Active’ from Port Angeles, Washington down the Pacific Coast all the way to the waters off Colombia and Ecuador on a drug interdiction mission. “We

Attorneys from Lewis Rice’s Federal Takings & Rails to Trails Practice won a significant victory on May 8 for five Oregon landowners who brought takings claims against the federal government. The claim resulted from the conversion of the abandoned Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad into the Salmonberry Trail, a public recreation hiking and biking trail, which crossed the landowners’ property. The landowners sued the federal government when it authorized the conversion of the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad into the Salmonberry Trail in 2016. They alleged the land underlying the railroad easement belonged to them, and the conversion of the railroad into a public
recreational trail was not authorized under Oregon law. Meghan Largent, attorney from Lewis Rice’s Federal Takings & Rails to Trails Practice, said she reached out to the landowners affected and represented several of them in the lawsuit. The case was filed in 2016. In May 2020, Judge Nancy B. Firestone of the United States Court of Federal Claims ruled in the landowners’ favor, holding that the easements over their property that were originally granted to the Pacific Navigation & Railway Company were limited to railroad purposes only and could not be used for public recreation. Largent pointed out the case was not against the trail. Many of the landowners in the case are excited about the trail. In Firestone’s opinion, it states “the cases involve a
nearly 80-mile railroad right of way established in 1907 by the railroad and later obtained by Port of Tillamook Bay (POTB). On July 26, 2016, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), an agency of the United States, authorized railbanking and allowing a trail operator, the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency, to establish the Salmonberry Trail along the railway. A railbanking and trail use agreement between POTB and the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency regarding the railway corridor was entered Oct. 27, 2017.” As a result of Firestone’s decision, the federal government is liable for taking the Oregon landowners’ property for public use. The landowners will now proceed before Firestone to determine the amount of compensation they are owed for the taking of their land. Largent said she is
glad that they are at a point where the landowners can be compensated. An evaluation of the land will also take place in the next month or so, Largent said. The court’s order said Firestone would reach out by the end of the month about the landowners coming before her about the compensation but in light of the pandemic, Largent has not received a message about this yet. When a date is made, they will put in the schedule time to allow appraisers to evaluate the land. Largent said sometimes these cases end up as a trial. The trial would take place at the federal courthouse in Portland. Largent said no matter the outcome, nothing would affect the trail itself. “The Salmonberry Trail will go forward,” Largent said.

illamook Police Sergeant Erica Bomar and Chief Terry Wright are this week’s Headlight Herald Hometown Heroes sponsored by Braxling Hauling. Terry has been in law enforcement for 43 years and for 22 years on the Tillamook police force. Erica has been an officer with the Tillamook Police Department for 21 years, starting as a cadet in 1993. Terry has been married to his wife Rhonda for 38 years and he said he would love to travel more. Erica is married to Tillamook Fire Department Battalion Chief Chuck Spittles. Terry said that in his spare time he loves to involve himself with youth support programs. Erica said in her time away from the job she enjoys traveling. It’s a hard job, particularly during a pandemic. Terry says they are exposed to people all the time, everyday. Erica says they are constantly self monitoring and are to report any symptoms during this pandemic.
crossed the equator on that trip”, he said. “I think El Salvador was the sketchiest place I saw.” His cutter service completed, Thrall then aimed his sights at surfman certification. He attended Basic Coxswain School for two weeks, followed by Heavy Weather Coxswain School for three weeks, and Surfman School for four weeks, all in Ilwaco, Washington. During this time he was assigned to Station Quillayute River in La Push where he remained until 2015. In May of 2015 he was assigned to Station Tillamook Bay. Of the 40 Coast Guard personnel currently at the station, only five are surfmen. Thrall said the Tillamook Bar is unquestionably the most dangerous bar on
the Oregon coast. “It is so unpredictable due to so many shallow spots that are caused by the jetties. Conditions can change in a matter of minutes.” When asked if saving lives has been his biggest challenge as a surfman, he candidly said “I really don’t think of saving lives as a challenge. It’s just my job.” But he recalled one time when things were “a bit dicey” in October of 2015. “There was a commercial fishing boat called the ‘Willapa’ that had become disabled about two miles or so out at sea off Manzanita. We were towing her back toward Tillamook Bay. It was close to midnight. We knew the bar was going to be picking up and we wanted to hurry and get them in. The bar was going to be deteriorating quickly. When we started getting close to the bar, the other lifeboat came out to see what would be the best area to come in. We decided the north side of the bar was the best because the south side had already started to break.
When we started coming in through the jaws a big wave came through and picked up the boat, causing it to surf up the towline. There was only one guy on the boat.” Thrall instinctively applied more power to keep the towline taught. “We got her in just seconds before the north side started to break,” he said. “Had it started to break before we got there, we would have been forced to wait out there until the tide changed, or all night.” While he said three boats have capsized on the bar during his five years at the station, there has only been one casualty: a man who died from a heart attack. “But I know there have been many deaths on the bar before I came here.” But the biggest emotional challenge for the surfman occurred on July 7, 2010. “We had a Coast Guard helicopter crash in La Push,” he said. “They had hit a power pole and sheared off the tail rotor. I was called up as part of the search and recovery team and later as part of the salvage
operation.” The only survivor was the co-pilot, Thrall said. “Two of the crew members were killed but we couldn’t locate the pilot. We had to assume at that point that he might have still been alive. Debris from the wreckage was everywhere. They finally found the pilot’s body in the front part of the fuselage underwater. He was still strapped in his seat.” Station Tillamook Bay confirmed that “As one of the Senior Duty Officers at the station, he (Thrall) has coordinated or responded to 105 search and rescue missions, preserved 6.9 million dollars of property and has saved 11 people.” In addition to his job as a surfman for the Coast Guard, Thrall has also been a volunteer firefighter for the Bay City Fire Department for the past two-and-a-half years, as have five other members of Station Tillamook Bay. Thrall lives with his wife, Rachele, three sons, and one daughter in Bay City.

County leadership talks Phase 2 guidance Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer
The Tillamook County Leadership Teleconference discussed at their meeting Friday, June 5, entering Phase 2 of reopening on Monday, June 8, and county updates related to the reopening. The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners passed on Wednesday, June 3, permission to go into Phase 2. Gov. Kate Brown announced Thursday, June 4, that the county will be able to reopen for Phase 2 on June 8. Adventist Health Tillamook President Eric Swanson said the hospital had six elective surgeries on June 5. They still have capacity for patients who need to get screenings done. “I want to thank the board of commissioners for entrusting us once again with ambulance services,” Swanson said. “You approved on Wednesday an extension of our agreement to provide ambulance services for another five years.” Rinehart Clinic is continuing to ramp up seeing
patients and nurse visits are being conducted. Gordon McCraw, incident command, said there is now guidance for indoor and outdoor venues, zoos, museums and more. “We’ll be reviewing all the guidelines and hopefully have answers to questions,” McCraw said. “We look forward to slowly, but surely, to get back to whatever that new normal is.” Jennifer Purcell, North Coast region coordinator for the governor’s office, said there is now information for indoor and outdoor entertainment facilities. There is strong disinfection and cleaning requirements. The governor’s office will be watching how the virus behaves and said county public health has done a good job of tracking that. Purcell said museums in Tillamook County are approved as part of the baseline guidance and can open immediately in Phase 2. There is also guidance for bowling alleys and arcades, the scenic railroad, kayak tours, swimming pools and sports courts. “Swimming pools are
allowed to reopen in Phase 2 with very specific guidelines,” Purcell said. “We also have guidance for venues and events facilities to reopen, and this would include things like the fairgrounds, fraternal organizations, faith-based organizations, and meeting facilities.” There is also limited return to work guidance. There is also guidance for loosening of restrictions for restaurants and bars. “Most of the guidance encourages parties of no more than 10 and no intermingling between those cohorts or congregate groups, encouraging to wear face coverings, and good hygiene,” Purcell said. As we live in Phase 2, the governor’s office will be watching whether or not there can be relaxation or need for reinstating of restrictions. Purcell said one of the top priorities is to get students back to school in the fall. Comments to Hilary: headlightreporter@countrymedia.net

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rally for justice and equality
We are deeply grateful to members of Progressive Action Tillamook, Indivisible Tillamook, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, Tillamook County Democrats, Tillamook Headlight Herald, Jane Scott Video Productions, Coast Radio.org and to many more individuals than we can name for their unbelievable support in spreading the word for and for attending our Rally for Justice and Equality held in downtown Tillamook Saturday, June 6. This event was literally put together in three days, but was successful beyond
our dreams, with 300-plus attending. Our thanks go out as well to Representative David Gomberg, Tillamook County Commissioner-elect Erin Skaar and Debbie BoothSchmidt, Democratic candidate for House District 32 for attending and showing their support for our rally in support of Black Lives Matter and its work to end excessive use of force by police and profiling against people of color. Our thanks, too, to Tillamook City Police Chief Terry Wright who not only had staff on hand to assist with pedestrian crossing of Hwy. 101, but who spent the entire time of the rally walking up and down both sides
of the highway sharing his support for our efforts. We were all visibly moved by the hundreds of people who drove by honking, pumping feasts, flashing peace signs and sharing their own hand-made signs of support as they drove north, south, east and west along Hwy 101 and First Street. We’d also like the thank the handful of passersby who shared a single-finger salute. Their display let us know clearly that our work of bringing awareness to the deeply-rooted and systemic problems of racism, hatred and intolerance in our country and our county is not finished.

illamook County Library Summer Reading is coming very soon and the theme is Imagine Your Story! But this year, things will look a little different. You can still be transported by wonderful stories and then track your reading to earn prizes. But most tracking will be done online using a website called Beanstack, and prizes will need to be picked up after you call to schedule a time. Also, we will not have any special performances, as we cannot safely gather large groups. (Some kid’s programs attracted as many as 200 people in the audience!) We are still working out the kinks, but we hope you join us beginning on June 15th. All you must do to participate is go to https:// tillabook.beanstack.org and register (starting June 15). If you have registered on this site in previous years, you do not need to re-register. The website will remember you! And remember, the Summer Reading Program is for all ages, kids, teens, and adults. Each age group has their own unique prizes. Don’t have the internet at home to sign up? No problem! Just call the library at 503-8424792 to have a librarian log your reading progress for you. Because we do not know when we will be allowed to open to the public, the procedures for picking up your prizes may change. ery Association CEO Patrick Critesar. His “Message from Tillamook’s CEO,” dated June 3, 2020 was an inspiration as we feverishly planned for this event. Please read it and follow the link to the note he sent to TCCA employees. It is with this kind of corporate leadership that true education and change will occur in our community and in our nation. We will, with more than just a little pride, enjoy every bite of our favorite aged white cheddar cheese, vanilla bean ice cream and Oregon strawberry yogurt and cherish the spirit with which it is made. We have vowed to keep these vigils going every Saturday at noon and will send out notification of future major events. Fred Bassett and Sonya Kazen, Cloverdale Dennis and Mary Haley, Garibaldi

Stay tuned for details! The Adult Summer Reading Program has a unique prize this year. All you need to do is read five books and you will be awarded a Tillamook County Library t-shirt with our bright, colorful logo on the front! The good news is you can now download the much-improved Beanstack Tracker App to your phone or mobile device. Login to your account on the app (or on a computer) to track your progress in the 2020 Adult Summer Reading Program. Next topic: WHEN WILL THE LIBRARY REOPEN TO THE PUBLIC? Oh boy, we sure wish we knew. But rest assured, we are working hard and making plans so it can happen as soon as possible. This week, a study was released by the American Library Association that revealed only 1% of 3,850 libraries that responded are fully open to the public. There are 11% of the libraries that are offering a limited inside-the-library experience like we are planning for our next phase. Curbside service (like we are now offering) is now taking place at 26% of
libraries across the country. But the sobering statistic is 62% of libraries are not offering any service right now and are totally closed. We can only hope these statistics improve soon. At least we have a robust Curbside Pickup Service going at all six of our Tillamook County Libraries. If you have not tried it yet, you should check us out. How does it work? You can place holds and requests on our website (www.tillabook.org) or by calling the library for help. When your books are available for pickup, call the library to schedule a pickup time. You must provide your library card number and name. Currently, pickup and return of books is available from 2:00 - 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, at all our library locations. In the meantime, please don’t forget about all the wonderful resources we have on our website. I would like to put in a plug for Flipster, my absolute favorite program for reading current magazines. If you tried our e-magazine resource a few years ago and were frustrated, you need to give Flipster a try. It is so much easier, and the current magazine selection is outstanding. I can easily spend hours at a time reading my favorite periodicals on my laptop from the comfort of my couch. And the best thing about e-magazines…no smelly perfume samples to get me sneezing! Happy reading.

Express your concerns with pesticides spraying near watersheds, towns O
n Wednesday, June 3, Weyerhaeuser groundsprayed pesticides on about 100 acres of their clearcut land within 1/4 mile of residential areas of Nehalem. Several weeks ago, Weyerhaeuser had agreed to give some residents of Nehalem 24 hours notice before doing the spraying, but then they reneged on this agreement, giving Nehalem residents no time to protect their health and property. Now, we just learned that Weyerhaeuser intends to spray pesticides on another section of their land that is also very near Nehalem. Unfortunately, we do not know, even generally, when that will take place. There are good reasons to be concerned about the health effects of these applications of pesticides. Yesterday I talked with a professor who has advanced degrees in biology and environmental toxicology regarding the recent pesticide
n Letters Continued from Page 4 of Oregon. Only $5 million in federal funding to be distributed to 102 rural health clinics after the Federal Govt. delivered Trillions to corporations who, by-theway, are laying thousands of people off and solidifying their stock holdings? Each time we hope for the Feds to include help for the working class of this nation we see them moving more and more of our future into the pockets of the rich. This announcement is far to little and very, very late. We need very thorough and consistent testing and community health workers to find, track and follow this virus to know where it is and where it is safe for us to be. You can do better, Senators. Washington D.C. MUST do better. Bruce DeLoria Tillamook
Letter to Bay City Pearl and Oyster Festival Participants and Sponsors We hope that this letter finds all of you well, as we each do our part to slow the COVID-19 pandemic. We have waited until this time to postpone the Bay City Pearl and Oyster Music Festival. We had hoped that a modified event might be possible by late August under the phased reopening. However, after consulting with Bay City officials, Council members, and the Oyster Club, and in compliance with the Governor’s orders, it is now definite that events involving crowds will not be possible as least through September. We had been planning for this year’s festival since the last one ended, and had signed all of the bands, food vendors, and many of the craft vendors and community resource organizations. We know that you were looking forward to selling your crafts and food, publicizing your resource organizations, and enjoying the music and
spraying of land that borders Nehalem. He and I both did literature searches on the two chemicals that we understand were sprayed: Sulfometuron methyl and Clopyralid. He suggested everyone reading this also research those two chemicals so that they can see for themselves the potential side effects of their usage. I asked the professor whether Nehalem residents had valid reasons to be concerned about these pesticides, even though they were not applied via aerial spraying, but, rather, through backpack, ground spraying. He said that, although aerial spraying would have been worse than ground spraying, there are definite reasons for the community to be concerned. Here are some of his comments: 1.This spray operation was very close to homes and gardens......only about 1/4 mile away......and it was on a ridge above the town. Spray droplets are volatile and can drift down from the clearcut, close to people, and into water sources. Also, pesticide spray can drift
away from the application site when it is breezy. (At noon in Nehalem on the day of the spraying (June 3), the recorded wind speed was 14.293 MPH). 2.The chemicals in these pesticides tend to be very persistent in the soil. Since this clearcut already has very little vegetation (and after the spraying, it will have less), the chemicals adhering to the soil can then wash downhill into streams and, eventually, into the Nehalem River. 3.These chemicals can remain volatile for as long as a year, and then revolatilize into the air in temperatures above 84 degrees. Also, on windy days this contaminated soil can blow around and end up in water sources and the adjacent neighborhoods. These chemicals are toxic to beneficial soil organisms and fish. (Having grown up in a community adjacent to where clearcutting happened, I can remember that it was always dusty afterwords) Studies show that minute amounts of sulfometuron methyl (brand name: OUST) can disrupt
plant reproduction, especially peas, potatoes, and tomatoes. Drift from roadside and noxious weed applications of Oust have resulted in widespread crop damage totaling millions of dollars. It can cause severe eye irritation and may cause some skin sensitization. Those of us with North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection were also concerned about the fourteen workers who did the spraying. Did they have adequate eye, skin, and respiratory protection? Given that the area sprayed was quite breezy that day, this seems particularly important. Workers doing these types of contract jobs are often without health insurance. They could also have been at a high risk of contracting Covid-19 at the worksite, as well as if they were transported as a group in vans. Most important, it is absolutely necessary for communities to have, at a minimum, a 24-hour notice before spraying begins in order that people may safeguard their
families, friends, gardens, and pets. Also, to do accurate testing of water for the presence of these pesticides or to do a long-term health survey of people who live nearby, it is essential to know in advance the spraying schedules. The more we learn about how these chemicals persist in the environment, destroy entire ecosystems, and risk both public health and the health of the environment, it becomes clear that their use needs to stop now. People are becoming more and more aware that forests play a critical role in our health and the health of the planet. Current forestry practices are risking our future and the future of Earth. TAKE ACTION! To express your concerns about the pesticide spraying adjacent to Nehalem that Weyerhaeuser has already done and, most urgently, about the planned, upcoming additional pesticide spraying by Nehalem, please call Weyerhaeuser, the Oregon Department of Forestry, and the Governor’s Office. Call Peter Ninteman at Weyerhaeuser (503-816-
9803), Bryce Rodgers at the Oregon Department of Forestry (503-325-5451) bryce. rodgers@oregon.gov ,and Governor Kate Brown (503378-4582) https://www. oregon.gov/gov/Pages/ contact.aspx Write a message to Governor Brown and then share it with local news sources, other elected officials, and the appropriate governmental agencies. Take a look at the North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection website for more information about contacting public officials.
festival activities. We are disappointed as well, but we recognize the seriousness of this pandemic and the need to contain it until a vaccine is available to everyone. Please note that the festival is postponed until August 2021, not canceled. We will carry preparations for the 2020 festival into next year and build on it to create an even better event. As was planned for this year, the 2021 festival will be a two-day event held on Friday and Saturday, August 27th and 28th, 2021. Be assured that the Oyster Club is committed to the continued growth and success of this exciting music festival. I personally would like to thank you for your support of the 2018 and 2019 festivals and hope for your continued support in 2021. Our mission was to create a destination music festival in Tillamook County as a vehicle to bring tourists and local guests to Bay City and beyond. As the chairman of the Pearl and Oyster Music Festival, I am dedicated to do all that I can to help our local businesses and all the Pearl Festival participants move beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. For more information call or text (503)931-9721 or email jodydesign@ hotmail.com. Thank you and be safe.

necessarily true. “They created their own problems, let them fix them.” Smug, non-poverty communities believing themselves better than impoverished minority communities. Events and frustrations leading to rioting and the destruction of impoverished minority communities. Investigative commissions quelling violence, providing a voice, yet failing to correct underlying patterns and causes. But Can’t. I can only hope, and pray that others can and will.
and that you will not have to worry about going bankrupt to pay for your care. That is Medicare for all. Imagine you are being paid a living wage by the saw mills that have just recieved a tax cut from Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress and that you did not have to pay premiums to health care insurance companys, who dole out your care to suit their corporate greed, while they pay little if any taxes at all. Imagine that if you are injured through no fault of your own, your family would be able to stay in their home and not fear hunger. Imagine if sustained yield were not a corporate forestry management myth. Imagine if the millionaires, multimillionaires and billionaires and corporations could find something more than the accumulation of money be a measure of their wealth and their worth? I am not sure what Timber Unity wants other than
money. We all want money, but at what cost. I believe that if Timber Unity wants to make their lives better, it should include clean air, clear water, medicare for all, education for their children and everything else that the rich are unwilling to share with anyone. Timber Unity, please write back and tell us all how happy you are with your medical care, the education of your children, the cleanliness of the air and water you consume. I think that Timber Unity should demand that Donald Trump and the Republican Party, allocate funds to support their familys and not to expand the greed of the already wealthy. I urge Timber Unity to write back and tell us all what they really want and if it is what they really want or is it what their employer, the mill, wants?

School systems failing their students. The divide between schools in wealthy and impoverished communities. Non-integrated 99 percent African American schools in impoverished communities.

Programs and agencies competing with one another for dollars in the same impoverished communities.

Richelle Rene Gollon Sept. 21, 1968 - April 16, 2020
R
ichelle Rene Gollon, 51, passed away in Tillamook, Oregon on April 16, 2020, due to complications from diabetes. Richelle was born on September 21, 1968 in Tillamook, Oregon to Henry L. Gollon and Judy L. Gollon (Warren). Richelle attended school in Tillamook, graduating from Tillamook High School in 1986. Richelle attended Tillamook Bay Community College for one year while waiting for her younger sister (LeAnn) to graduate so they could attend Western Oregon State College in Monmouth. Richelle graduated from Western Oregon with a degree in Psychology and Sociology. After living in the Salem area for several years, Richelle moved back to Tillamook. Richelle worked for Don Averill Trucking where she developed an interest in accounting. Richelle earned her MBA in Accounting from Marylhurst College during her tenure at Tillamook County Creamery Assn., where she worked
for the last 20 years and was their Senior Cost Analyst when she passed. Richelle’s TCCA (Creamery) family was really important to her. Richelle was the first to volunteer for any event for helping others, school projects, community projects and work projects. Richelle was instrumental in forming the local Oregon Coast Futbol Club. Her passion and love for soccer and for the youth of her community was always first in her thoughts. Richelle’s pride and joy was her two sons and her favorite vacation was taking her boys to Disneyland. She was overjoyed with the birth of her granddaughter, Avery and could hardly wait to take her to Disneyland. Richelle is survived by her husband, Demecio Calles Andrade, two sons: Brennon Calles(Marissa) and Benji Calles, and one grand-daughter, Avery Rose Calles; two sisters: Tami Leith (Tom) of Clackamas, OR; LeAnn Parker (Holly) of Vancouver, WA; two nieces: Lexus Castelli and Bailey Parker; two nephews: Kyle Sanchez and Kody Leno; one great-nephew and one great-niece. Memorial services for Richelle will not be held at this time due to the current health crisis. Memorial donations can be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Richelle’s favorite non-profit organization.

FENCEPOSTS recently spoke with Jim Rice, stranding coordinator for Oregon State University, about the dead whale on Bayocean Spit to see what more we could find out. Jim was very helpful and provided the following information. This particular whale, which stranded here May 15, is a juvenile gray whale about 32 feet in length. We don’t know the cause of death, as the whale had significantly decomposed and Jim did not have the resources to take organs from the whale back to the lab for a full necropsy. However, it likely died of malnutrition.

alking for an errand through Cloverdale last week, I noticed a new tiny house-shaped structure erected near the groom shop. On closer inspection, it turned out to be Cloverdale’s own mini-library! It was well stocked with nice looking books in a range on genres, included a quadrant containing children’s books. We each are invited to take a book, to leave book, or both. I was happy to recognize several titles from the late Illene Mazura, who called Cloverdale home from 2008 until her death in 2018. She would be pleased.

Gray whales migrate down to Baja for the winter and return north, most headed to the Arctic, in the spring. They do not eat during their migration; this means that these gray whales have been fasting until 2 p.m. in the parking lot of South Tillamook County Library which is located off of Camp Street North of the flashing light in Pacific City. Neskowin Farmer’s Market continues operation from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturdays at Neskowin Valley School on Slab Creek Road in Neskowin. The first hour is reserved for Seniors and those with compromised health. Be patient, as both markets enforce protocols set in place to protect vendors and shoppers from COVID 19.

reetings Bay City! We hope that this column finds all of you well, as we each do our part to slow the Covid-19 pandemic. We have waited until this time to postpone the Bay City Pearl and Oyster Music Festival. We had hoped that a modified event might be possible by late August under the phased reopening. However, after consulting with Bay City officials, Council members, and the Oyster Club, and in compliance with the Governor’s orders, it is now definite that events involving crowds will not be possible as least through September. Please note that the festival is postponed until August 2021, not canceled. We will carry preparations for the 2020 festival into next year and build on it to create an even better event. As was planned for this year, the 2021 festival will be a two-day event held on Friday and Saturday, August 27th and 28th, 2021. Be assured that the Oyster Club is committed to the continued growth and success of this exciting music festival. I personally would like to thank you for your support of the 2018 and 2019 festivals and hope for your continued support in 2021. For more information call or text (503)931-9721 or email jodydesign@hotmail.com.

husband and I had the privilege of meeting and traveling with Jim and Shirley to Ireland in 2018. They were a couple that you would get to know in a heart beat; fun loving and devoted to each other and their family. We would run into them now and then in Tillamook, and our conversations always felt like we had known them for years; a very caring and loving couple. Jim will be missed. He truly touched the lives of many people, including ours. Good grief! Last week I missed the mark in reporting on the Garibaldi Maritime Museum art show: Honoring our local Coast Guard “Tribute to our Heroes”. Because of Covid-19 and the Governor’s orders, all events for the museum are canceled through the summer. They are gradually reopening, but for now, they are only open on weekends from 10:00 to 3:00, and only by appointment. For reservations call (503)322-8411 and leave your name, phone number, and the number of people in your party. They are staggering groups so they can sanitize the public areas and restrooms between each appointment. Thank you Carla for the correction. I also have city news to
since last summer. It is not unusual to see a few whales die during migration as their fat reserves are depleted. In fact, we generally get three dead whales along the Oregon coastline each year, most often in the spring. This spring, we’ve already had three dead gray whales. Since April, one washed ashore between Heceta Head and the Sea Lion Caves; one came ashore at Sand Lake; and ours, of course, arrived on Bayocean Spit. Jim says this is a little, although not dramatically, higher frequency than usual. He adds, however, that we are in the

Be involved in the decisions for our city! As I have mentioned before, in the Bay City Fencepost, I have been attending the Tillamook Revitalization Association, better known as TRA on behalf of the Bay City Oyster Club to show our support for the Tillamook downtown businesses. The first meeting I attended, it did not surprise me that I found a group of business owners that collectively are not concerned for themselves, but for the entire business community. They have the energy, drive, and imagination for what can be done to revitalize downtown after Covid-19. Tillamook has a very progressive and active Chamber of Com-
midst of an “unusual mortality event,” initially declared last year, for gray whales. Google this term on the NOAA website if you are interested in more information about these unusual mortality events. Thanks, Jim, for helping educate us about “Odie,” our odiferous dead whale. Looks as if he’ll be with us for a while. A couple of columns ago, I wrote about a dead gray whale that came ashore on Bayocean Spit in 1991. Dave Dittmer reminded me that there was another dead gray whale a few years after that. The second whale was
closer to Cape Meares; you could smell the decomposing body from our village, so the authorities dragged it up the beach and buried it. We’ll have to see what effect the northerly summer winds have on the current fella... In further critter news, the Walzes recently saw a family of weasels in their yard. There was a mother and three babies; the mother was carrying one of the babies in her mouth. Karen says this is just like the National Parks on quarantine: More animals are out and exploring! But the Walzes didn’t want this bunch of critters to get too
far in their adventures; Steve quickly closed the garage door. And, in closing, a piscine report: Captain Pete brought home our first salmon of 2020. He caught a nice hen springer on the tide turn at Memaloose in Tillamook Bay. Spring Chinook have been few and far between this season, with only a couple caught most days. They are good eating; Pete calls them “butter with fins.” Hope springs eternal; I’m still waiting for a fish to bite my hook!

We may be opening slowly in Tillamook County, but we are still moving forward. Have you heard the song “Another Day Older and Deeper in Debt”?…... well I don’t know about the “Deeper in Debt” part, but I know a few folks who are another day older: Jim Allenbrand, Roberta Bettis, Joy Harrison, Mindy Simon, and Gordon McCraw. Happy birthday and many more! June anniversaries are being celebrated by Howard and Joy Harrison and Tom and Ann Zelenka. Don’t forget to wish your sweetheart a happy anniversary. I want to tell you a love story. It’s not from a novel or movie. It’s a true love story. It’s my story. It was a summer romance, and all summer, to anyone who would listen, the start of every conversation was “I have met the nicest boy in the world”; then it was “I’m dating the nicest boy in the world”; and finally, “I’m in
love with the nicest boy in the world”. That has never changed. I will tell you just one story. Picture this: I am waiting by the big picture windows for him; he walks in front of the window grinning from ear to ear carrying a gift for his soon-to-be bride. He has chosen a gift that he is so excited to give me. He had put a lot of thought into it and bought the very best he could afford; a true gift from his heart. I knew when I saw
the long case that he was the nicest boy in the world and I was a very lucky girl. I used the ultra-light Fenwick spinning rod and matching Quick reel for years until he replaced it with a fly rod. June 12th is our 55th wedding anniversary, and that gift is the most precious gift to me. And yes, he is still the nicest boy in the world. Thank you, and I’ll see you next week at the fencepost.

What drives health?
of our community. Individual behaviors contribute to cultural norms and these can be “contagious.” The more we see people doing something, the more likely we are to do the same thing. Population Health vs. Public Health - Both work to improve the health of the public itself and fall under the umbrella of the field of health systems work. Population health is a broad focus on understanding the conditions and factors that influence the health of populations over lifetimes. Population health also measures patterns and implements policies for the overall health and wellbeing of society. Healthcare professionals work to improve the health of populations by preventing disease, promoting healthy lifestyles, and addressing health inequities. Some outcomes that population health responds to are improving the health of the people with limited resources, implement-
ing cost-effective strategies to address health disparities, and developing practice guidelines for practitioners. Providers use population health solutions to identify risk factors and coordinate specific care needs for patients. Public health – According to the American Public Health Association (APHA), Public Health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. Public Health works on a more personal level than population health. It promotes wellness to the public by encouraging patients to live healthier lives. Public Health workers also educate people to help prevent unhealthy habits, like smoking and substance use, from getting out of control. For example, social workers, nurses and caseworkers work with the healthcare industry in providing government assistance and counseling to the public under the public health umbrella.
Bell Pepper Salad Recipe & Photo Source: Foodhero.org Number of servings: 6 Time for preparation (including preparation and cooking): 5 minutes Ingredients: 4 bell peppers 1⁄2 medium onion 2 1⁄2 Tablespoons vinegar 1 Tablespoon oil 1⁄8 teaspoon salt and pepper Directions: 1. Wash bell peppers and remove tops and seeds. Cut into ¼-inch thick strips. Peel onion and slice into thin strips. 2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add bell pepper and onion and gently stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. 3. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Our community Wellness work combines facets of population and public health when addressing the health of our community. We follow the CDC’s research-based guidelines based on numerous factors that drive health. Health Is More Than Health Care Health is more than what happens at the doctor’s office. A wide range of factors influence how long and how well we live from education and income, to what we eat and how we move, to the quality of our housing and the safety of our neighborhoods. For some people, the essential elements for a healthy life are readily available; for others, the opportunities for healthy choices are significantly limited. According to the CDC, health care provided in a clinic setting accounts for less than 20 percent of our health. Our community and environment and social determinants of health, like housing, access to healthy food, income, educational attainment, and social supports among other things, can account for more than 50% of our health outcomes. Even outpacing genetic predispositions. Across the country there are significant differences in health outcomes, from one county to the next, from one state to the next, and among racial/ethnic groups. For example, Blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics have consistently faced barriers to opportunity and good health. Increasing opportunities for everyone can reduce gaps in health. For example, providing better access to high-quality education and enrichment opportunities boosts skills that are key to landing a good job and for upward economic mobility. Additionally, early childhood care and education, good nutrition, physical activity and socialemotional learning contribute to significantly better health later in life.
Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty and discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care. Health disparities are differences in health or in the key determinants of health, such as education, safe and affordable housing and food security. We are fortunate there are many dedicated and highly energized community partners working to improve community conditions for inclusive and equitable access to better health. There is more work to be done. We want to be part of the solution to address community and population health. Tillamook County Wellness is committed to bringing people together to look at the many factors that influence health, and to pursuing strategies that can improve health for all and to make changes that will have a lasting impact. If you’d like to join us, please email us at info@tillamookcountywellness.org.

Ryan Hamilton of Tillamook High named NW Regional Teacher of the Year The pivotal role of teachers has become especially evident in these last several months, as schools have transitioned to distance learning in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers have stepped up in countless, innovative ways to ensure students are safe, healthy and engaged to reach their full potential, making this a fitting opportunity to recognize the excellence of Regional Teachers of Year throughout the state. Tillamook High School’s history teacher, Ryan Hamilton, was named NW Regional’s 2021 Regional Teacher of the Year. Hamilton wins a $500 cash prize and is in the running for Oregon’s 2020 Teacher of the Year – to be announced this fall. “I aim to demonstrate what

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.

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

Tillamook lumber mill worker was tested for coronavirus this past week, leading operations to shut down Thursday, March 12, for a cleaning. Hampton Lumber Mill Plant Manager Mark Elston issued a statement about the employee and the closure. In the statement, he said the employee was tested at the local hospital and advised by medical professionals to self-quarantine at home pending results. “The employee is following that advice and has committed to inform us of a positive or negative result once known,” he said. “We will let our employees know this result and will keep the appropriate community leaders informed.” 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. “We take the health and safety of our employees and the community very seriously,” Elston said. “We will monitor the situation and take the appropriate action to safeguard our employees and our operation as we get additional information.” As of Monday, March 16, Elston said the employee’s test results had not yet been received. The mill was reopened for work after the temporary shutdown to sanitize gathering areas. County officials confirmed Friday, March 13, that tests for COVID-19 were conducted in Tillamook County.

We have seen many news media reports in recent months referencing the topics of underlying health conditions and health disparities. Factors underlying these issues are varied, complex and heavily intertwined. Tillamook County Wellness uses data and best practices to influence those factors in ways that lead to improved health for all people, especially those with a higher risk of developing chronic health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. As a program of Tillamook County Public Health, our partners work to improve health drivers at every level so that people can live happier, healthier lives. This involves strategies from multiple approaches and an understanding of what drives health at individual, population and public levels.

ith summer almost here, it’s time to start making plans. Our town is a tourist destination, so maybe we could just stay home and enjoy what we have like a visitor would. Perhaps it is time to think like a tourist. Plan to hike a trail or visit a nearby waterfall. Of course, we need to social distance to keep us safe. We can shop our delightful community stores as they begin to open up and lengthen
their hours. Visit with our neighbors and see if our elderly friends need a helping hand. More fun things we can do is enjoy a juicy watermelon, have a water gun or water balloon fights, make homemade ice cream or even enjoy an evening bonfire on the beach in your flip flops. Have your kids host a lemonade stand, make popsicles or build a sand castle on the beach. You can also camp out
TBCC announces Teaching Excellence of the Year recipient
Dustin Young, Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) Adjunct Faculty member has been awarded the Teaching Excellence of the Year Award for 20192020. Young was widely recognized by students for her creative teaching style and her ability to encourage learning inside and outside of the classroom. She was selected from a group of 12 outstanding faculty nominations that each received multiple nominations. Young teaches psychology and sociology through face-toface, online, and hybrid class at the college. In addition to the recognition, Young will receive $1,000. “Dustin is so deserving of this award. She is new to teaching and she has jumped in full throttle. The nominations from students were so impressive,” said Dr. Teresa Rivenes, Vice President of Instruction at Tillamook Bay Community College. The award recipient is chosen based on a set of criteria that demonstrates exemplary teaching performance which includes knowledge of the subject, innovative curriculum development and instructional design, ability to involve students and create enthusiasm for learning, and student empathy to encourage student success.
Of the many nominations received for Young, students shared the following about why they felt she deserved the award. - Dustin has created a learning situation that brings the subject in to our minds, rather than us looking out and observing it. - She references and recommends books, films, videos, music, etc. I have probably spent as much time doing extracurricular activities for this class as I have on the requirements. And, I do so happily. - Asking and expecting us to use this course to look at our own lives is one of the most creative ways to teach this subject. I think it creates a situation wherein we continue to learn as we interact in our lives. - I can’t say it better than it made me want to learn more. The Teaching Excellence of the Year Award was started in 2015 by a local donor, Dale Harmer, who wanted to assist the college to recognize excellence in the classroom after auditing a course and witnessing the strength of the faculty who was instructing. Annually, the TBCC Foundation receives a donation of $1,000 to distribute to a faculty member nominated by students.

in a bottle, oh, how I could go on. Just think about going back to the basics and enjoy what we have and cherish how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. Donations for our International Police Museum are greatly needed. The museum has a vast collection of vintage and modern national and international police uniforms and equipment. The museum has been closed through the
pandemic, so they have had no income during the shutdown. So, dig deep in your pockets and fill their donation jar. Rockaway Beach is really lucky and blessed to have them in our community. The “Grand Opening” date for the Rockaway Beach Nature Preserve Boardwalk Project was last year on June 15th. I hope you checked it out. It is totally awesome. Well, that was phase one. I am
excited to tell you phase two has begun. They are working on the deck at the large cedar tree. The estimated completion date is June 30th 2020. There’s another fun thing to do this summer. I need to add this to my list! “Everything good, everything magical and everything wonderful happens in June, July and August.” It is here! Time to enjoy! That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”

The District will be responsible for the Debt Service to the City, and therefore has implemented an Intertie Loan Repayment Surcharge on customer bills, as of July 1, 2016. The District has satisfied the mandate by the State Drinking Water Program to meet drinking water standards, as the intertie with the City of Garibaldi accomplished the goal of providing water to district customers meeting state and federal drinking water standards.
