On Friday, July 15, at approximately 12:22 p.m., the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office was notified Pamela Sears by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, that they had located the 2009 Hyundai Elantra reportedly driven by the person reported missing on July 5, Pamela Sears, age 62, from the Tierra Del Mar/Pacific City area, in an area south of Lincoln City. They advised Sears was located inside the vehicle, deceased. Evidence on scene suggested she had taken her own life, likely the day she went missing. Sears was last seen on July 5 at approximately 3:30 p.m., leaving her place of employment, the Lincoln City BiMart, in her red 2009 Hyundai Elantra. A search of various areas, by Tillamook County Deputies, Lincoln County and Tillamook County Search and Rescue personnel, and the United States Forest Service (USFC) personnel, was conducted along her normal routes but they were unable to find the vehicle or any clues to her whereabouts. Additionally, the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office has completed a thorough check of all cellphone, bank and credit card accounts that yielded no additional leads. At this time, the family is asking for time to process this information. They appreciate everyone’s prayers through this difficult time.

Former coach arrested for alleged sex abuse
By Jordan Wolfe jwolfe@countrymedia.net I was born in 1990, a fact my wife will never let me live down (the ‘80s are overrated), and experienced the first wave of the Pokemon phenomenon as a boy with a delightfully over-active imagination. Now, Pokemon fever has reignited. Pokemon Go, the new app which has exploded in popularity since it’s release on July 6, is encouraging children, families and adults to get out of the house in order to “catch ‘em all.” While on a walk to our grandparents house, Kaden Wolfe, my brother, looked around, almost
Digital creatures, called Pokemon, are appearing all over Tillamook County in the new app, Pokemon Go. Players use their smartphones to catch the vibrantly colored little monsters.

Pokemon Go, an augmentedreality app for mobile devices, encourages players to get out of the house to capture the same 151 digital creatures that sparked the phenomenon in the ‘90s. The app uses the cameras on mobile devices to let players, literally,

A former Tillamook High School coach was arrested July 12, on two counts of seconddegree sex abuse, two counts of third-degree sex abuse, and one count of contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor. Wayne Lewis, 28, was terminated from his paid football coaching position as well as a volunteer baseball coaching position on June 20. The Tillamook School District took that action after conducting an internal inquiry. The internal school inquiry began June 15, when an individual informed school authorities of allegations that Lewis had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a student, age 17. In accordance with state law, the district contacted the Tillamook Police Department. In conjunction with the Tillamook County Sherriff’s Office, police began an investigation. Lewis had been a football coach at the high school since 2015, and for two years before that was a paid coach at the junior high level. He was not employed in any other capacity by the district, and has been banned from district property for the 2016-17 school year. “Our district has very clear policies and expectations about appropriate staff and volunteer conduct,” said Randy Schild, superintendent of Tillamook School District. “To ensure that staff members understand these

Water hookups stir controversy in Watseco-Barview By Brad Mosher bmosher@countrymedia.ner A plan to develop six lots on Ocean Boulevard near Camp Magruder has turned into a monthslong verbal and legal battle between the Watseco-Barview Water District, the City of Garibaldi and the owner of the property. And the verbal salvos continued during Monday’s Watseco-Barview Water District meeting, more than a year after the project began and nine months since the connections were built. It has been almost eight months since the new connections were called “illegal.” Gene Larson has owned the land since 1967 and a year ago started making plans to develop it. Larson said that he asked a friend who lives in Garibaldi to help the project. Since they started in the early summer of 2015, Larson and John Foulk, say they have run into problems. The volume and tone of the verbal discussion prompted one board member, Linda Berndt, to make a motion to end the public comment period after only Foulk and Larson spoke. The motion failed for the lack of a second. Both Foulk and Larson tried to start the discussion early in the meeting, but board president Jen Price told the men that they would have to wait until the public comment portion of the meeting later. “You will have your five minutes at the end of
the meeting. And, when you have a completed application, including the engineer’s drawing, then the board will be happy to proceed with the development of your lot,” she said. There was no action taken on the matter, although Larson did turn over a large number of papers to the attorney for the board to examine. According to Garibaldi City Manager John O’Leary, the city had contact with Foulk and later with local contractor Ryan Vandecoevering early in the project and it included explaining the requirements that would be needed. He said the Watseco-Barview Water District was the agency ultimately responsible for the connections and service. The connections were installed on Oct. 29 and 30, then in early December Larson received a letter from the Watseco-Barview District which said “illegal installations are never approved.” That was the beginning of a dispute between the owner, the district, a local contractor and others ranging from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach. Larson received a letter from the office manager in late January telling him that because of an intergovernmental agreement between the two neighboring water agencies for an intertie “only the city Public Works is allowed to complete operational functions on district lines.” The manager also claimed in the letter the board of commissioners for Watseco-Barview Water District had met earlier in the month and said

Six lots on Ocean Boulevard near Camp Magruder are the focus of a long-running battle over water connections between the owner of the property, Gene Larson, and the WatsecoBarview Water District. they wanted to move ahead with plans to remove the “unauthorized” water taps immediately. According to the letter, “the major problem with these services is that without authorization from the District or from the City of Garibaldi, Mr. (Ryan) Vandecoevering tapped into an existing two-inch water main that serves other houses on Ocean Boulevard. The size of the line is not adequate enough to serve the existing houses, and the six houses that will ultimately be built on lots you plan to develop.” Less than a month later, the manager again sent Larson a letter saying the district would not accept the six water service connections
that had been constructed. Larson said he met with the Watseco-Barview District board members at the agency’s June 20 meeting to try to get the matter settled. At the meeting, he told the members of the board he met with Barbara Trout on June 13, where she told him that the district was in charge of all work. “She said that there would be no fees or charges,” Larson told the board members. “She sent an email at 11:24 that a.m. “ According to Larson, a week later he submitted a letter to the district
