Climate change is dramatic here on the coast By Sayde Moser

Narcotics squad arrests six in one swoop Patrick Dennis

The top-three climate change concerns across the Northwest all are coastal issues: • Rising tides • Beach erosion • And an increasingly acidic ocean. “Even though only a small percentage of the counties in the Northwest are on the coast, there are so many acute issues,” said Philip Mote, a professor at Oregon State University. Mote, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute, recently helped edit a 270-page report on climate change in the Northwest. He also helped edit the previous study, released in 1999. Both were part of the U.S. National Climate Assessment. “We’ve had 14 more years to observe what climate change is doing to our region,” Mote said. “Our understanding and ability to predict changes improved dramatically. “And as we got better at predicting, we also got better at understanding how much we don’t understand.” Those issues include changes in hydrology, tree growth and disease in forests, shifts in agriculture productivity – and coastal climates. All of which will directly affect Tillamook County. “Property damage from high water and coastal erosion will be significant” in coastal areas, Mote warned. “As the ocean continues to absorb heat and as ice con-

Although an ongoing investigation kept the Tillamook Narcotics Team from releasing any information until recently, it’s been confirmed that last month six people were arrested locally on drug-related charges. On Oct. 10, the narcotics team, assisted by Tillamook city police officers, arrested Patrick L. Dennis following a

Wheeler’s Faith Dorothy reflects on breaking ground in the Oregon Air Guard By Dave Fisher

For the Headlight Herald

Faith Dorothy was taken by surprise when she noticed her name in an article that appeared in The Oregonian this summer about the Oregon Army and Air National Guard. It took a moment to sink in – she had been referred to by her maiden name, Faith

Hunsdon. Her claim to fame: In 1958, 1st Lt. Faith Hunsdon became the first woman to join the Oregon Guard. Her military career, as a nurse, actually began a few years earlier, in 1952, when she joined the U.S. Air Force. She served two years of active duty and subsequently becoming a member of the reserve.

Despite relocating to the Portland area, she remained with the Air Force Reserve meeting in Vancouver once a month. But she decided it wasn’t her cup of tea and transferred to the Oregon Air Guard. “There’s a picture of me, in full uniform and high heels, standing on the wing of a jet with Governor Holmes,” said Faith of the

Downtown Tillamook street faces closure By Joe Wrabek

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Should Tillamook close Second Street downtown between Main and Pacific avenues? That’s what the city’s public works committee is recommending to the City Council. The committee, comprised of three city councilors – Cheryl Davy, Doug Henson and chair Joe Martin – talked two months ago about converting the block of Second Street between Main and Pacific to one-way – “like the rest of Second [Street],” said City Manager Paul Wyntergreen. Main Street is, in effect, U.S. Highway 101 running one-way south through downtown Tillamook. Pacific is the highway’s one-way northern route, a block to the east. Now, the one-way street idea has morphed into closing a block of

Second Street entirely and turning it into a “pedestrian plaza” complete with a fountain and similar amenities, said Wyntergreen. The actual closure decision would be made by the entire City Council. The council will have the public works committee’s recommendation on its agenda for a meeting Nov. 18. “ODOT is in town, gathering data for the [highways] 101-6 project,” Wyntergreen said. There is additional money coming in for “streetscape enhancements,” he added. “We have to know what we’re doing, so we can tell ODOT.” City Councilor Davy and Mayor Suzanne Weber are advocating for the Second Street closure (“It brings in business,” said Weber), while Martin firmly opposes it. “If

Second Street, between Main and Pacific avenues, has been proposed by the Tillamook public works committee to be closed to traffic and turned into a “pedestrian plaza.” The final decision is in the hands of the City Council.

Port of Tillamook Bay says ‘no deal’ to city By Joe Wrabek

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Port of Tillamook Bay commissioners have voted unanimously to reject an offer by the City of Tillamook to take over the port district’s water system. “It’s a very fine offer,” said port commissioner Jim Young. “They’d do all the internal water work for nothing. Makes me suspicious.” Tillamook City Manager Paul Wyntergreen had approached the port about assuming responsibility for its water system. “We had asked the city to look into it,” the port’s general manager, Michele Bradley,

told the Headlight Herald. “We wanted to look at it as an alternative.” The city offered to do all of the port’s billing, process all revenues and perform all of the maintenance on the district’s water system for a two-year trial period, said Bradley. “The city is looking at becoming a regional water system,” she suggested to the commissioners. (The City of Tillamook currently sells water wholesale to 11 other water districts and water companies, in addition to the Port of Tillamook Bay.) “I didn’t have a good feeling about this,” port utility supervisor Robert Miller told the commissioners.

“They were too willing to take the system. They’re really interested in our water rights.” So instead, the port commissioners voted to raise the retail water rates the district charges its tenants. The port’s water rates are to climb from $4.85 per 1,000 gallons to $6.06. Tenants will see the new rates reflected in the bills they receive after meters are read in late December, Bradley said. “Users have been forewarned this is coming,” she said. Bradley added that the port’s sewer rates, which are a function of water consumption, already have been raised.

Cloverdale Ladies Auxiliary Disbands By Melonie Ferguson For the Headlight Herald

The Ladies Auxiliary to VFW Post 9611 in Cloverdale held a farewell potluck Oct. 15, a last meeting for the 65-year-old service organization which disbanded Nov. 8. According to the group’s records, the first officers were installed April 25, 1948 and they included: Louisa Larson- President, Rodna Briskey- Senior Vice President, Helen Calbreath- Junior Vice President, Ramona LewisConductress, Annabelle House- Chaplain, Shirley Gault-Treasurer, Lorinette Lewis- Guard, Gertrude Lewallen, Mabel Gritzmacher, and Ruth Paape- Trustees, Lois Muzzy- Secretary, and Marie Pollock, Historian. From its inception through June, 1949 the Auxiliary met at Oretown Grange Hall in Oretown. Besides the officers, other members included: Emogene Clucas, Patricia Conlee, Iris Dunn, Donna Hatfield, Helen Hathaway, Vieva Hagestrom, Annabell House, Ruth Hurliman, Doris Kirby, Anna, Dortha, and Louise Lane, Lorinette Lewis, Juanita Lewallen, Elizabeth and Hazel Price. From June 3, 1949 through April, 1971 meetings were held at the IOOF Hall in Cloverdale and from April 21, 1971 to Jan 29, 2013 at the VFW Hall, also in Cloverdale. Most recently, Beaver Fire Hall hosted FVW Auxiliary meetings. It’s a point of pride that Patricia Conlee, an earlier member, went on to become the 196061 Department of Oregon Ladies Auxiliary President. Mary Love, Kay Rulifson, and Mar-

rian Wilkinson have all been members of the Auxiliary for more than 50 years. The majority of active members are transferring to VFW Auxiliary #732, in Siletz which meets at 2 p.m. on the second Friday, monthly; new members are welcome. The adopted Auxiliary is incorporating all of the Cloverdale group’s existing projects: the Nestucca Heroes Project; Veteran & Elderly CareHome Project; the OTE Safety Break Free Coffee Program; the “I Learned the Pledge of Allegiance” Program; Project Yarn and Clothe; their Scholarship Program, and Veterans Assistance. The Nestucca Heroes Project will honor former students of Nestucca High School who died in action. Those to be honored are: Alfred Kreutz, Class of 1935; John Collier, Class of 1939, Charles Galloway, Class of 1941; G. Clair Bettis, Class of 1952, Mike Earl, Class of 1963; Michael Couch and Dale Sorensen, Class of 1968; and Alan Carbaugh, Class of 1977. The event is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2014 in downtown Cloverdale. Besides currently serving officers, Farewell Potluck attendees included Mary Love, past President. She summed up the group’s work succinctly: “Well, we did our best for the Veterans and their families these past 65 and a half years; now to continue on at our new auxiliaries, remembering first and foremost, we belong to a service organization - not a social club.” Ladies interested in participating in the Auxiliary are invited to contact Kay Saddler, 503-398-5000.

Tillamook Fire District personnel train with a new Auto-Pulse CPR unit. The unit was purchased in September with the proceeds of a classic car sale.

Tillamook Fire District trains with new Auto-Pulse By Joe Wrabek

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Tillamook Fire District personnel recently participated in their second training session using the district’s new AutoPulse automatic CPR unit. “It’s been in service for eight days,” said Fire Marshal Rueben Descloux. “We haven’t had to use it in the field yet.” Auto-Pulse is a high-tech unit, first demonstrated to Tillamook Fire District personnel last year, which administers automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator

shocks. More than two dozen local firefighters now have practiced with the unit, working in teams of six on a full-sized dummy “patient.” Two firefighters provided breathing assistance during the training session and started the Auto-Pulse unit. Four others moved the patient to a mobile stretcher for transport. With Auto-Pulse, “A patient can be transported while being given CPR at the same time,” said Fire Chief Rick Adams, something that isn’t possible when CPR is being administered manually,

he said. “The more you don’t have to stop [CPR], the higher the probability you’ll get a pulse,” Adams said. The Auto-Pulse system was purchased in September using proceeds from the sale of a classic car – a “cherry” 1939 Plymouth coupe that had been donated to the district by a former patient, Bob Riggert. Four additional defibrillator units, also being purchased with proceeds from the car sale, are on back-order, said the fire district’s Mike Ellerbroek.

tinues to melt, the sea level will continue to rise. It’s a really long-term problem.” But it’s not all bad. Agriculture, particularly the dairy industry, could benefit from higher temperatures. “Dairy production is strongly affected by temperature,” Mote said, “but because Tillamook County is next to the ocean and already has a very mild climate, it will experience lesser rates of temperature change than non-coastal areas.” In other words, Tillamook will continue to be a great place to produce milk and dairy products. As for irrigation, said Mote, with the snowcaps melting earlier, the spring peak flows will shift earlier, winter flows will increase and late-summer rabekflows will decrease. Since it irrigated agriculture is the largest consumptive water user in the Columbia River Basin, drier summers will surely increase the demand for water. Still, these water-supply issues won’t be as much of a concern in Tillamook County … “unless we experience a really dry summer,” Mote said. “And there is always that risk.” In fact, that risk is increasing locally. The Tillamook Bay Watershed is projected to be warmer by between 4 and 7 degrees by the end of the century. On average, the Oregon coast’s temperature has increased about 1 degree in the last 110 years, according to an Oregon Climate Change Research Institute report specific to the Tillamook Bay Watershed. Annual precipitation is expected to increase, too, by 3 to 5 percent in 2100. Most of that will occur in the fall and winter months, making summers much drier, by 14 to 19 percent. This likely will increase the number of drought months in a 30-year period. What does all that mean? • Warmer, drier summers likely will heighten the chance for wildfires. • The frequency and magnitude of coastal flooding will continue to increase, potentially leading to greater property and infrastructure damage. • Sea levels will rise about 24 inches, causing esturaine water quality to decrease, and reducing repairian zones for chinook salmon as they transition from fresh water to salt water. • Economic effects, both positive and negative, will result from changes in productivity and the distribution of commercially valuable marine species such as salmon or shellfish. • Plant and animal species, on land and in the water, likely will shift their distributions and become ever more or less abundant. Mixed evergreen and subtropical mixed forests will replace current maritime evergreen forests; plant and animal species will shift to find a more suitable climate. This is particularly true for salmon, which currently live in conditions near the upper range of their

Continued from Page A1 thermal tolerance and are particularly vulnerable to higher stream temperatures. An increase in temperature likely would result in fish disease and mortality, taking a toll on the sportfishing industry. What’s more, continual additions of CO2 and seasonal coastal upwellings produce some of the most acidic ocean waters in the world, right off the Oregon coast. These increasingly acidic waters adversely affect the rate at which shellfish can reproduce. In fact, the rate at which mussels and shellfish form is projected to decline by 25 percent and 10 percent, respectively, by the end of the century. Shellfish aquaculture, which provides jobs and 49 percent of the commercial fishing landing value in Oregon, may well be threatened. “The coastal region is one area that will continue to deal with aspects of climate change long after we are able to stabilize the climate,” Mote cautioned. Forests are endangered by increases in disease, insects and wildfires. Mote said that in the last 15 years, the devastation caused by bark beetle infestations and wildfires has been astounding. And with warmer, drier summers on the horizon, these fires probably will increase. Climate influences both vegetation growth prior to the fire season and shortterm vegetation moisture during the fire season, which in turn influences fire season activity, Mote said. By 2080, the area burned by wildfires is expected to increase by 1.5 million acres. Insect outbreaks are facilitated by higher temperatures as well, causing trees to be more vulnerable, which leads to higher tree mortality. This will result in timber yield losses. The national scale estimates forest recreation revenue losses of $650 million by 2060. Yet it’s not the institute’s job to come up with mitigation strategies, said Mote. That’s up to state legislatures and local governments. But, “Knowing is half the battle,” he said.

Voters say yes By Joe Wrabek

“We have fulfilled the county commissioners’ promise to the roads committee.” So said Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein last week shortly after the preliminary November election results were in. A week ago Tuesday night, the county clerk’s office had counted 4,707 votes in favor of a countywide transient lodging tax hand 2,330 opposed (67 percent to 33 percent). Thirty percent of the money collected from the tax will be dedicated to fixing the county’s roads. “That was the main issue,”

Baertlein said. Precisely how the remaining 70 percent that’s dedicated to tourism will be allocated – and by whom – is the next big issue. “I would like to see how other counties are doing it,” Baertlein said. Input from Travel Oregon, which collects the State of Oregon’s transient occupancy tax statewide, “will be invaluable,” he said. “I hope to get some people here in the offseason.” The county’s voters also passed a five-year local option levy for the North Coast Recreational District. The levy, which was voted on in only four precincts, showed 898 votes in favor and 633

against (59 percent to 41 percent). NCRD board member Kevin Greenwood called passage of the recreation district’s levy “excellent.” (Five years ago, the levy passed by only a few votes.) “I want to compliment all the advocates,” Greenwood added. “It’s heartwarming to know people want this service.” NCRD general manager Peter Nunn agreed. “This

was a vote for quality of life, enrichment and caring for people,” he said. The recreation district, said Nunn, “is a community asset, and we’re working to protect and preserve it.” According to the county clerk’s office, there was a 49.14 percent turnout, with 7,057 of the 14,361 registered voters casting ballots. The final vote count will not be official until Nov. 25.

TBCC Connections by Debbie Lincoln TBCC board member

America’s prosperity is reliant on community colleges, according to Dr. Steve Van Ausdle, President of Walla Walla Community College in Washington. Van Ausdle spoke at a recent conference of the Oregon Community College Association in Welches, Oregon. He speaks with authority: Walla Walla is a co-winner of the 2013 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, awarded for the college’s work in developing students for jobs and helping to drive growth in the regional job market. Its relationships with employers are credited, among other things, with seeding the boom in Walla Walla’s wine industry over the past two decades. According to Van Ausdle, three things are necessary for America’s success: safety and security, living-wage jobs, and environmental sustainability. Community colleges are key to all three. Community colleges provide much of the country’s education in criminal justice, from law enforcement and community policing, to the courts, corrections and victim services. Colleges also have a major role to play in preparing workers for and educating the public about environmental sustainability. But it’s in providing highly skilled workers that community colleges shine. I’ve written about this before, but it bears repeating. Community colleges transform lives and the communities they serve. Walla Walla is proof. Says Van Ausdle, who else is there? A friend and I were once speaking about young people seeming to drift aimlessly after high school. I said, “Send ‘em to college.” Her response was, “Oh, no, we need worker bees.” We do need worker bees: for the coming couple of decades and the new workforce,

Speedbump

we need 60 million. We have 100 million. At the same time, we need 100 million highly skilled workers for new and replacement jobs. We have about 54 million now. The disparity is obvious, so let’s send them to college. Again to quote Van Ausdle, economic development depends less on business recruitment than on the talent of the workforce. Something of a chicken-or-the-egg question, but it’s clear from the results of the Walla Walla winery industry example that if you develop the talent, the business will come. Does that mean we can graduate a class of chemical technicians and attract a Dupont plant? Probably not. We need to be sensible. But we can train natural resources technicians and build our food processing industry (salt, oysters—how about mushrooms?). Or agricultural technicians and marketers and build the digester business. (Mushrooms could combine the food processing and digester businesses….) America’s private sector has billions of dollars to invest. Community colleges are poised to make use of that investment to provide the workforce the private sector (and the public sector) will need in the coming years. Tillamook Bay Community College has a track record in working with Hampton Lumber, Stimson Lumber and the Tillamook County Creamery Association. The Agriculture and Natural Resources community stakeholders group is working to come up with other opportunities. With success stories like Walla Walla as an example and a challenge, we can make good things happen in Tillamook County. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact board members or President Connie Green with input or questions at green@tillamookbay.cc or 503/842-8222 ext. 1015.

Let’s help our neighbors this winter

2013 was a great year for Tillamook Farmers Market

As the cold days of winter begin, many in our community are facing it without heat and/or other utilities. The funds from the Federal energy Assistance program are still being held up and that leaves us with only the local PUD Customer Assistance Program (CAP) to help. This program is made possible from the generous contributions from PUD customers which are then matched by our equally generous utility company. A $20 donation becomes $40, $100 turns into $200 and $500 into $1,000. Because donations have been down mostly due to direct pay, I’m asking PUD customers to step up and send or drop off a donation to the PUD office at 1115 Pacific Ave. (PO Box 433) Tillamook, OR 97141. Personally, I tried to go for 48 hours without turning on my heat last winter and only made it a couple of hours. Let’s not leave anyone out in the cold. Chris Wagner Tillamook

Thank you to the voters On behalf of the North County Recreation District Board of Directors, I would like to thank the voters of north Tillamook County for their support in the recent ballot measure to continue the existing local option tax for another five years. This resounding endorsement demonstrated the same majority support that originally formed the recreation district in 1996. The result of this election enables the district to continue at the same level of services that we provide today, continuing to enhance the quality of life for all ages.

Taxes, taxes and more taxes In regard to the Oct. 30 front page article in the Headlight Herald titled “Blimp Hangar on the ropes,” let us do some thinking, and let us property owners look at our taxes. I just looked at my county tax statement. The statement says I am already being charged $7.66 this year to the Port of Tillamook Bay. Now they want more? Total taxes assessed this year for the port for just three households on Bewley Creek Road is nearly $50. I wonder how much the port

takes in countywide? My social security check won’t stand for more tax increases. I would guess I am not the only one with this problem. Now what? It seems to me that out port commissioners and management are working against the locally people they “serve.” They tried to give up our farmland for a golf course, which would take away from an important local industry that Tillamook was built around – namely, dairy. Maybe they will try to figure a way to work against the timber industry by raising the rents on Stimpson and attempt to run that fundamental Tillamook industry down as well. I look at Washington County and see now they have grown significantly since 1944. This wealthy county brought in industry by cutting industrial taxes so that industry was willing to come to them. We here in Tillamook have a port with lots of room to expand and grow and enrich the community… But something is seriously lacking. I wonder what that is? It sure seems to point to the lack of foresight and competency of the port board and management. While putting my thoughts in writing, the Nov. 6 paper arrived. Now the port is contracting with a local broker to find tenants? Wouldn’t that have been an essential part of the initial planning process? That is pretty poor management and oversight, if you ask me. To throw money into a plan without a clue as to a possible return on investment is absolutely incompetent and a further waste of our tax dollars. The port would have better served the community if they had taken some of the FEMA dollars and repaired the blimp hangar to either keep the current paying tenants or attract a new tenant for the hangar. Instead, they look for help from a community they so poorly serve. Ivan Boge Tillamook

Why I volunteer for the Warming Center By Paul J. Hernandez Retired firefighter

With winter around the corner, I can’t help feeling grateful to have been given the opportunity to help those in need in our community. Volunteering to help with the CARE Tillamook Warming Center has been an amazingly rewarding experience. The Warming Center, which is run solely by volunteers, offers a warm, dry, safe place for anyone who needs shelter for the night during the dangerous weather events we often experience on the coast. My primary role has been making calls to open the center. Hearing the voices of volunteers, excited to help, has been very rewarding. At other times, I’ve enjoyed working together with

volunteers to help cover a shift. The most memorable of these times was watching the sun come up on a cold morning with snow on ground and greeting our five guests with a hot cup of coffee. This year we are in need of additional new volunteers to be a part of keeping the Warming Center open on the most dangerous of nights. We’ve been lucky to have a small core of devoted volunteers, but we need more. If any of you out there reading this are interested in hearing more about our project, please don’t hesitate to call the C.A.R.E. office at 503-842-5261, or come to the next information meeting and training on Nov. 19 at the Tillamook County Library from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Hope to see you there.

The program, offered through the University of Oregon, sponsors counselors in both the middle and high schools The Nestucca Valley School District in south Tillamook County has been named one of seven in the state to participate in a pilot program through the University of Oregon that offers vocational rehabilitation services to students in middle and high school. Vocational rehabilitation counselors will be available at both schools to “facilitate positive long-term outcomes for students with disabilities,” said Terri Lalor, the Nestucca district’s youth transition specialist. The counselors will be on site each week to meet with students. The goal is to create awareness of vocational services at younger ages, said Jeri Dickinson, a technical assistance coordinator with UO. Dickinson said she has been

LETTERS: wasted when one ‘wastes time’. At that moment, with a little serious thought, I got it, too! But that was a fleeting moment and a fleeting thought.’ Now I’m trying to grasp the concept of Daylight Savings Time: what is it we’re saving? Daylight? Or time? Somehow I don’t think there’s a real savings of daylight if we lose it on one end of the day and gain it on the other end. Seems like a wash to me. Nor do we really lose an hour or gain an hour when we reset our clocks two times a year. There’s still only 24 hours in a day – no matter how you look at it! Linda Werner Tillamook

RE: ‘It takes a village to take down a house’ We want to personally thank all of the law enforcement agencies and personnel who worked so dilligently bringing down the criminals who stole our property in Tillamook County. Many of our neighbors woke up a couple of weeks ago to find that their vehicles had been ransacked, things stolen, and some vehicles stolen. We were hit hard, finding that a great amount of our property had been taken. We called in the theft to the authorities, and Deputy McKillip came to our home to take a report. He told us that they had been tracking down the culprits for some time and that a resolution should be coming soon. To our surprise, we recovered some property the very next day, and the rest was recovered within one week. Detective Horton told us that they rarely if ever recover as much property as they did for us. We know that the authorities had been on the criminals’ trails for several months, and we were prepared to just write off the loss of our property. Again, we want to thank all of the law enforcement throughout Tillamook County who worked so very hard to find these criminals. They were personal, prompt, and compassionate! To our neighbors in Tillamook County: Please remember to lock your vehicles and your homes! We tend to be trusting in our little com-

involved with bringing vocational rehabilitation counselors to Oregon schools for the past six years, when UO applied for what’s called an “access” grant. The university in Eugene was one of only seven institutions awarded the grant nationwide, the only one west of the Mississippi River. Dickinson said, “We rolled it out in Lane County with five model schools” for a period of five years. “We wanted to see what happens when we offer transition services to younger kids.” The results? With data collected over the five years involving about 5,000 young people, Dickinson said the earlier vocational training did seem to make a difference. “Five years ago, we were focusing on 12th-graders and trying to help them figure out what they wanted to do with their lives,” she said. “But when you look at a student’s educa-

One neighbor said she didn’t call in her auto break-in because nothing was stolen, but the authorities could use that break-in to add charges to the thieves, and they could have taken fingerprints if needed. Promptly report suspicious activities and people that don’t fit into your neighborhood. Keep an inventory of your valuables, even small things like CD’s, DVD players, etc. Take a picture of new purchases, record the details and serial numbers, and mark them with your ID when possible. Keep receipts with identifying information and the value of your property. This could help with insurance claims, but it will also help authorities identify your items if stolen. It does take a village… To have law enforcement agencies who work so well together, who work so well with citizens, and citizens who take personal responsibility for their neighbors and their property. Many, many thanks to all!

I read the article written by Joe Wrabek published in the Nov. 6 edition of the Headlight Herald regarding the acquittal of my husband, Gary Quackenbush, who was charged with reckless endangerment of another person on Dec. 19. 2012. While the article appeared factual, it left so much unsaid. To set the record straight, my husband did not nonchalantly leave his hand gun in the Coliseum Theater for children to find, then return 24 hours to claim it as the article stated. Gary called the theater several times in hopes that someone would be there and was up all night worrying and searing our home and vehicles for the misplaced gun. As we have lived in Tillamook since 1996, we knew the Coliseum Theater is closed during the day. Therefore, after he had no luck contacting anyone at the theater, we reasoned that all would be well if he arrived at the theater before it opened the next day to retrieve his weapon. Little did we know that the next day, Dec. 19, was marked by a field trip to the theater for junior high students as a reward for maintaining good grades. The overall treatment of my husband over this past year at the hands of Tillamook County officials and some of its residents have been judgmental and even brutal. He has been portrayed as, at the very least, an uncaring person who lacks regard for children and our community in general. Such is not the case and far from true. Up until now, I have had no reason to tell about Gary’s continued support of a number of community programs such as the Women’s Crisis Center, an organization that serves women and children in our county who have been victimized by violence. In fact, after Gary closed Idaville Corner Market last December he donated most of the food stuffs to the center to help feed the women and children in its care. I have had enough of hearing about Gary’s insensitivity. He is not who he has been portrayed to be by some. Gary has apologized repeatedly for his lack of judgement in not reporting

tion, if they want to go into a specific trade, they need to pick up those classes in high school and get a jump start if they want to be successful.” Or if they end up changing their mind about a career, Dickinson said, it’s better they experiment in high school than wait until they get to college. After reviewing the positive data, the UO staff decided to offer vocational rehabilitation counselors across Oregon. Schools of differing sizes and locations were selected, including Nestucca. Dickinson and others at UO have helped each school develop a plan. They will continue to provide support to the teachers and counselors during the one-year trial period. “Our hope is this program will be such a success, schools will want to continue to offer it,” said Dickinson.

Without these well wishes and kind words, Gary and I would have been lost. Law enforcement officers in this state who have had similar accidents have garnered only a brief mention in the newspaper and the incidents were forgotten. Gary has loved this community and cared for the people within and he deserves the same courtesy. Thank you. Kimber Quackenbush Tillamook

thought about purchasing my food anywhere but at Safeway or Fred Meyer. I saw beautiful corn at three for a dollar, and that was better than at the big stores. The more I looked, I found MANY fruits and vegetables at a lower price and better quality. This season, thanks to the SNAP program at the market, I bought a lot more fruits and vegetables than I normally do. They were grown locally and I met the people who grew them. I look forward to the farmers market every single week.” • “I would love to see some chef demos at this market next season! It would be great to learn some recipes for cooking with the food I can buy at the market!” Vendor feedback: • “This is a great market! It attracts locals as well as visitors, many of whom are willing to buy, not just look. I think this market is very well organized and they work hard to meet the needs of their vendors and shoppers.” • “I think the market has done a good job keeping up with the growth of the community and increased volume of customers. Our market still has a friendly family style atmosphere despite its growth over the years. I see customers that come almost every week, year after year, it’s obvious they’re having a great time. I feel the same way. I don’t ever want to leave.” • “I loved the musical entertainment this year. It keeps getting better every

season. I would love to see some bigger bands come play for us next year!” • “The greatest benefit to my having done the market is in gaining exposure in our local community for my new business and products. I have also found leads for placement in local shops this winter. Having committed to the market this season was very helpful as an incentive to work out details of my products and business. Listening to and talking with customers has been a wonderful form of market testing and understanding what people want and are looking for. The market is good.” Tillamook Farmers Market is doing great things for Tillamook; we are helping to grow our local economy by incubating food and artisan entrepreneurs; we’re drawing visitors into downtown Tillamook with live music, great food and beautiful handmade crafts; and we’re taking action on our belief that farmers markets are for everyone - providing incentives for our low income community members to buy local, healthy fresh fruits and veggies for their families. We want to thank this community for their part in creating these successes, and we encourage folks to get in touch with us if they would like to volunteer with Tillamook Farmers Market, sponsor the Market as a local business or individual, or in other creative ways! We look forward to hearing from you.

TLT will make tourists think twice about our area Mr. Lovlin’s claim about the lodging tax is RIGHT ON. I have had a home in the Netarts/Oceanside area for about 20 years, and all I have seen done by government, is nicer (new offices), and denying permits, etc. Government has gotten too big, even here in Tillamook, all they do is sit around looking for ways to add revenue, instead of looking at ways to cut waste, and downsize. (I know that will never happen) because the more personnel, the more votes. You don’t think the fishermen will come here, fish, and then go home. The revenue lost will far outgain the tax benefits in the long run. I would rather stay in Garibaldi, or Pacific City if I were a tourist, and those people that know of Happy Camp, and few more nice places to lodge will think twice about staying there.

Guy Robert “Bob” Steele Guy Robert “Bob” Steele died peacefully in his chair on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013 following a wonderful weekend filled with family activities. Bob Steele was born on June 5, 1920 in Wall, Bob Steele S.D. He was the youngest of four children. He spent his early years living and working on the farm. While in high school, he worked as a typesetter at the Sioux Valley News in Canton, S.D. During his teen years, he lived and worked with his brother Albert on the reservation. A favorite family story is when Albert ran out of cigarette papers: Bob, at age 12, rode a horse 18 miles to the nearest town to buy more! After high school, he

moved to Roswell, S.D., in search of work, and found both work and a wife on the Wilge Farm. After marrying Jean on December 28, 1940, they moved to Rapid City, S.D. Two daughters were born, Pat in 1941, and Roberta in 1942, and the family moved to California, where he enlisted in the Merchant Marines, and shipped out the very next day. He served on the USS Charles Goodyear and the USS Nickajack Trail. While he was at sea, his wife and daughters lived with his sister, Florence, and family in Portland, Ore. Bob was discharged from the Coast Guard on September 12th, 1944, with the rank of Able Seaman. A son, Steve was born in 1945. For the next several years, Bob worked in western Oregon as a logger and eventually settled in Tillamook, Ore., in 1957. In the 1960s he and Jean changed careers and began managing the Alderbrook Golf Course. Always avid golfers, they ran the golf course for many years. Upon retiring in 1983, they built a house on a golf course in Mazatlan, Mexico, and wintered there for more than 10 years. Bob and Jean moved to Port Angeles in 2005. They have been avid Rough Rider fans and attended many high school sporting events for grandchildren and great grandchildren. Family gatherings almost always involve many hands of cards, “Pitch” being a favorite game of Bob’s. Bob was well known for his incredible memory and curiosity. He will be missed by his family and friends. Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Jean; daughter Roberta Keeler; granddaughter Sara Smith and great grandchildren Samantha, Nathan and Robert Smith. He is survived by his daughter Pat Jones (Roy) of Port Angeles; son Steve Steele (Carla) of Tillamook; sister Florence Klingman; grandchildren Scott Jones, Todd Steele, Dana Bailey, Rob Keeler, Shawn Steele, Matt Keeler, Ken Jones, Cynthia Keeler and great grandchildren Skylar Jones, Katie Schorr, Kiah Jones, Bailee Jones, Elizabeth Bailey, Conner Jones, Taylor Jones, Rebecca Bailey, Jack Keeler, Teagan Steele-Welch. The ashes of Bob and Jean will be interred together at the Willamette National Cemetery on what would have been their 73 wedding anniversary this December.

NEED A LIFT?

It has taken less than a month for recent big jumps in flood insurance premiums to get congressional attention. Increases in flood insurance rates to “actuarial levels,” which have been mandated by the federal Biggert-Waters Act of 2012, began hitting Tillamook County homeowners Oct. 1. (Owners of second homes began seeing increases to their premiums Jan. 1.) But a growing number of complaints nationwide about the rate increases – and a lawsuit by the State of Mississippi charging that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was required to do an affordability study but never did – has prompted a bipartisan group in Congress to introduce legislation delaying homeowners’ insurance premium rate increases by as much as four years. The proposed legislation was announced Oct. 29 – the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy’s devastation along the East Coast – by 15 Democratic and Republican senators. Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley is one of the bill’s sponsors (S. 1610); Oregon’s other senator, Ron Wyden, is not. The Tillamook County commissioners voted Oct. 30 to send Wyden a letter requesting that he join Merkley in sponsoring the bill. Companion legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives the same day by Rep. Maxine Waters (the “Waters” in the Biggert-Waters Act) and 34 others. The House bill’s list of co-sponsors has since grown to 95, including U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader, who represents Tillamook County in Congress. Schrader is the only Oregon congressman cosponsoring the bill. Waters, in a public statement, decried the “unintended consequences” of the flood insurance reform legislation she sponsored last year, saying she was “outraged by the increased costs of flood insurance premiums that have resulted from the Biggert-Waters

2ND STREET:

you have a fire in any of those buildings, you can’t get a fire truck in” if the street were blocked, he said. “I did bring that to Tillamook Fire District’s attention,” Wyntergreen said. “Their initial reaction was there might be a way. They are aware of the issue.” Police Chief Terry Wright has provided a memo to the committee noting that school buses load and unload passengers on that block of Second Street. If the street is closed, he said, the buses will be loading and unloading kids along the highway, a more dangerous option. That said, public reac-

Act. I certainly did not intend for these types of outrageous premiums to occur for any homeowner.” The proposed reform legislation would: • Require FEMA to propose an “affordability framework” within 18 months. Congress would then have six months to review it. • Delay implementation of the insurance rate increases until two years after FEMA completes its affordability study. That delay would apply only to “primary residences” that have had no “repetitive losses,” which are currently grandfathered – i.e., were built before the Flood Insurance Rate Maps existed, or were built to whatever flood regulations existed for the zone the house was in when built. (The latter protects homeowners who find themselves in new flood zones because of map changes.) Homes that changed hands after July 6, 2012, still would be able to retain old flood insurance rates, rather than be immediately confronted with new marketrate premiums. The proposed legislation also lets FEMA use flood insurance program money to reimburse policyholders who successfully appeal map changes, and creates a “Flood Insurance Rate Map advocate” in FEMA to answer current and future mapping questions from policyholders. Because the legislation has a large number of both Republican and Democratic sponsors, it’s been hailed as a rare instance of cooperation in the current recalcitrant Congress. There is opposition, though, both from groups interested in ending subsidies, and from environmental organizations claiming that inexpensive flood insurance encourages construction in flood-prone areas. Both factions have their supporters in Congress. Still, “Hopefully, the outlook is good,” Schrader aide Cody Tucker told the Headlight Herald. Congressional hearings on the bills may surface as soon as mid-November.

tion during the public works committee’s meeting was in favor of the closure. “Don’t just close it, cover it,” Chris Kell told the committee. Kell owns the Get the Scoop ice cream parlor in the 2nd Street Public Market. “If we put a cover on it, it’ll be a usable place all year long,” she said. Beth Venti, proprietor of the Phoenix Exchange Clothing Store, recalled her experience in Eugene, which did a “downtown plaza” makeover a decade or so ago. “Eugene overdid it,” Venti said, which upset a lot of people and businesses didn’t do well. “The problem in Eugene

was there was nowhere to park,” said Venti. Still, she said, “I’m in support of something happening. And I would love to have it happen in front of my business.” Venti suggested using “bollards,” or removable safety posts for blocking a street, which could allow entry for emergency vehicles. Regardless of the closure method, “We will lose some parking places” if the street is blocked, said Wyntergreen. The public works committee voted 2-1 to recommend the closure to the City Council, with Martin opposed.

Two days later, she learned she had been accepted for the job in Saudi Arabia, as well. “I always wondered what would have happened, how my life would have been different, if I had taken the other assignment,” said Faith. As a flight nurse, she assisted doctors aboard aircraft transferring patients from one location to another. Her experito ence ultimately led to a position as a nurse practitioner with in the Veterans Administration ap- Hospital in Portland, where she ve would finish out her career. nt “Speaking of firsts, I was among the first nurse practing tioners in the state of Oregon,” le said Faith. “Which just goes to show I’ve been around too d long. Those were the days we ncy [women] had to break a lot of ceilings.” oShe retired in 1986, joinlose ing her husband of 31 years, f Verne, to enjoy doing things id without the obligations that came with a career. m(Verne’s first name was om- Marion. Faith said he opted to use his middle name betin cause, given his last name of Dorothy, it helped eliminate confusion.) Looking to settle on the Oregon coast, the couple landed in Wheeler, buying a house that overlooks Nehalem Bay and offers spectacular views of the surrounding hills. Verne died in 1994, but Faith remains in the house they purchased. “I love it here. I like the slower pace of life. “And we’re still relatively close to Portland. But there’s just too many people for me there.” With energy to burn, Faith became knee-deep in a variety of community activities: as a member of the Cannon Beach Chorus (which she still is, 20 years later), the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, and the North County Food Bank board of directors. She even dabbled in

politics, securing a spot on the Wheeler City Council and serving a brief time as interim mayor, shortened because she was recalled. “I didn’t last too long ... I was still somewhat of an outsider, a foreigner. I was labeled quickly and should have known better,” she said. “I was partly at fault, but it was an experience and you learn.” Up until a few years ago, Faith enjoyed kayaking on Nehalem Bay. An avid birder, she still keeps an eye out for the comings and goings of various species throughout the year. Birdfeeders line the deck outside her living-room window, while inside, she peers at her fine-feathered friends through a scope mounted to a tripod. Born and raised in Vermont, the well-traveled native New Englander is quite at home on the Oregon coast. “I did enjoy the camaraderie within our medical unit,” said Faith, recalling a military and professional nursing career lasting more than 30 years. “Some of the doctors were VA employees and really sharp in their fields. You had to communicate with them at their level … but they were great people, with a good sense of humor. “We all worked hard. We just did it, no matter what the job was and what it took to get it done.”

Speed cost the Cheesemakers the game in their first round of the soccer 4A state tournament. The boys’ team was defeated 1-3 on Nov. 5 when they traveled to play McLoughlin High School. The Pioneers scored the only goal in the first half. “He just ran past us and they chipped the ball over the top to him,” Head Coach Brian Reynolds said. The Pioneers returned in the second half with two additional goals, including one penalty kick after a defender tripped and took out the attacker in the box. Ernesto Mondragon scored the single goal for the Cheesemakers with 13 minutes left in the game. “After winning the ball at midfield, Ernesto dribbled it through their mid[fielders] and defense and finished it nicely in the lower left corner by easily beating the keeper,” Reynolds said.

The loss ended the Cheesemaker’s advancement in the state tournament and finished their season 9-4-3 overall. “If it hadn’t been for their single speedster, the game could have gone either way,” Reynolds said. “The entire team played their hearts out. They played through fatigue and pain, injuries and drama (it was a fairly contentious game). To no fault of their own we were beat. Everyone of them played well and had a great season.” Several of the boys also received league recognition making first team and honorable mention. All League Awards: 1st Team: Ernesto Mondragon (Player of the Year Runner-up) Leeroy Mendez, Sean Rumage, Dylan Tohl, and Philippe Josi. Honorable Mention: Pablo Garcia and Gregory Macias.

Jaime Jorge

in Concert at Tillamook Seventh-Day Adventist Church November 15, 2013 at 7:00 p.m

The Tillamook Seventh-day Adventist Church invites community members to attend a free Christian concert, featuring Jamie Jorge, a world-class violinist, on November 15, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. The concert will feature music ranging from favorite hymns to contemporary praise songs. Jaime has played in a multitude of settings from high school auditoriums to Carnegie Hall. He has played in 40 countries on 5 continents, and has released 16 albums. Besides being an accomplished musician, Jaime has an inspiring story to share. Born and raised in communist Cuba, he was offered many opportunities- including offers to study in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians of our time- if only he and his family would renounce their belief in God. They refused. When Jaime was ten, miraculously, his family was given the opportunity to leave the country. In 1996 Jaime left medical school and a promising medical career to devote himself to full-time music ministry. The concert will be held at the Tillamook Seventh-day Adventist Church at 2610 First Street in Tillamook. The concert is free and is designed for people of all ages and denominations. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, Call 503-842-7182.

Cheesemaker soccer couldn’t keep up with the Pioneers

“We always have tried to put emphasis on our kids being student athletes, and all our coaches are on board with their team members getting extra help from our

teaching staff after school if needed,” Nestucca Athletic Director and Volleyball Head Coach John Elder said. Nestucca High School has also won the overall state academic competition twice in the past 10 years and tries to have each team finish in the top ten each season. “Our teachers go out of their way to keep coaches informed of student achievement, and they communicate any problems the student may be having in classes. Our administration and school board have adopted an eligibility policy, which is much tougher than the OSAA standard, and are open to doing whatever it takes to promote academic success with our athletes. Of course coaches, teachers and [the] administration working together wouldn’t really make success without a great group of academically motivated athletes. Let’s face it, we have great kids who are great students.” Other local teams placed outside the top ten, but achieved a 3.0 and higher

Prospectors take the gold in game against the Bobcats sports@orcoastnews.com

“You don’t like to end the season with a loss, but 15 playoff teams will,” Nestucca Head Football Coach Jeff Schiewe said. And the Bobcats became one of the 15. Nestucca traveled to Grant Union High School in John Day, Ore. Saturday afternoon to play the number fourranked team in the first round of the 2A state tournament. The Bobcats finished their season with a loss against the Prospectors, 20-49. The Prospectors received the ball first, putting together a 67-yard drive with the quarterback’s scrambling ability. Grant Union moved their way up to fourth and goal at the five, and were able to pull off a one yard touchdown reception. With a good two-point conversion,

LAKERS:

the Prospectors led 8-0. Near the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats returned with a touchdown of their own. Max Kirkendall received the kickoff and returned for 28 yards to the 48-yard line. Drace Moeller helped the team with a fourth and inches quarterback sneak and then Kirkendall finished it off with a 17-yard touchdown run. Austin McKillip kicked the extra point, leaving the Bobcats trailing by a single point. The Prospectors answered with a 50-plus-yard touchdown in two plays. Grant Union kicked off to the 30 and the Bobcat’s Ronny Moffett claimed it. The Prospectors held back the Bobcats, and Nestucca opted for the punt. Brett Elder handled a high snap and put Grant Union on their own 30-yard line.

“Brett does a nice job of directional punting. Their returners are very fast, so he got us a lot of yards with no return,” Schiewe said. Nestucca was able to hold Grant Union to a fourth down, but the Prospectors faked a punt and ran to earn a first down. On another fourth down conversion, Grant Union’s quarterback ran up the middle to score a touchdown. “At this point in the game there have been three fourth down conversions by the Prospectors. We were really close, but they did a nice job,” Schiewe said. “Three fourth down conversions for two touchdowns and a first down. Defense was so close.” On the return, the Bobcats made it to third and eight, but an overthrow found itself in Grant Union’s hands for a

successful interception. The Prospectors turned around and marched their way to a fourth touchdown. A failed extra point left the Bobcats, 7-28 at the half. Nestucca received at the start of the second half. Kirkendall gained 18 yards on the return. Moeller made a 24-yard swing pass to Kirkendall on a play action pass. “Drace carried or passed on eight plays of the series. And [he] crossed the goal line with a two-yard keeper up the middle. McKillip kicked the extra point to bring the Bobcats within two touchdowns,” Schiewe said. “Moeller just took the drive over. He is strong and hard to tackle, and his completion to Max was on the money.” The Bobcats held the Prospectors for two straight plays on their next possession, but Grant Union made a

touchdown off a third down. “Another third down conversion. Our defense got them to that point for the seventh time and we just couldn’t put 4 in a row,” Schiewe said. The Prospectors followed with an additional touchdown when the Bobcats attempted a fake punt, but a faulty long snap made it Grant Union football and gave the Prospectors the opportunity to increase their lead. Moffett took over on the next drive and had the bulk of the yards and the touchdown for the Bobcats’ third touchdown. “He did a nice job of reading blockers and moving forward,” Schiewe said. The failed kick left the score Bobcats: 20 Prospectors: 42. “At this point we had about 11 minutes left in our season, so we tried to make

something special happen,” Schiewe said. Unfortunately, the Prospectors scored again, but Nestucca went out with the possession. Sophomore Bobcat Anthony Sutherlin intercepted the ball on another Grant Union fourth down. The Bobcats didn’t have enough time to make up the difference and lost the game 20-49. “The kids played hard,” Schiewe said. “It was really great having so many fans and supporters follow us over there...we had a lot of support all season. It was a lot of fun.” The loss eliminates the Bobcats from the 2A state tournament and ends their season 6-4 overall. Article contributions by Jeff Schiewe

“And he always loved basketball. He says this is a dream job for him.” Oram’s mother, Linda, was a music teacher in Beaver and Cloverdale. His dad worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Hebo for 30 years. Oram attended Nestucca Valley High School in Cloverdale and played for the Bobcats basketball team. He said he was voted “most-improved player of the year” – two years in a row. “That means you’re probably not very good,” he chuckled. During his junior and senior years in high school, Oram capitalized on a vacant reporter position at the Headlight Herald by writing three stories a week for the sports section. He credits Michael O’Brien, the Headlight Herald’s sports editor at the time, for helping him learn the trade. “He taught me how to be a really fair and good journalist.” O’Brien had covered sports for the Headlight Herald for several years. His column, “Between the Lines,” was honored multiple times by a variety of journalism organizations. O’Brien died of cancer in November 2006. The year before, Oram graduated from high school and enrolled at the University of Montana in Missoula, majoring in journalism. During his summer breaks from college, Oram spent time writing for newspapers in Tillamook, The Dalles, and Washington, D.C. He was named editor of the student

newspaper at the University of Montana and awarded the Murray Scholarship, named for legendary Los Angeles Times sports reporter Jim Murray. The award was based on an essay contest featuring students from the nation’s top journalism schools. “To be recognized in the name of someone who was probably the greatest sportswriter is incredible,” Oram said in a 2008 interview with the Headlight Herald. After graduating from Montana, he landed an internship at the Washington Post and, later, another internship at The Oregonian, on the crime beat. “It taught [me] how to be a person first and a reporter second,” said Oram. Then he made his way to Utah to write about prep sports – and eventually cover the Jazz NBA team – for the Salt Lake Tribune. Less than a month ago, Oram received a job offer from the fast-growing Orange County Register in Santa Ana, Calif. On the same day, the Lakers officially began their 2013-14 NBA season. He said he doesn’t know what the future holds. “I just wanted a full-time job working at a newspaper [when I started],” said Oram. “The dream keeps changing. Things I never thought would happen keep happening to me. I’m so fortunate for that.” To see some of Oram’s stories, go to ocregister.com.

While October passed a few weeks ago, the speech teams at Nestucca, Tillamook, and Neah-Kah-Neah high schools are bringing the Halloween spirit into November with their annual Oktoberfest Tournament. Hosted this Saturday at Tillamook High School, students will have to dig out all of their Halloween garb because a costume is required to compete. Speech teams from the Portland area and as far away as Hermiston, Ore. will be attending the event. Schools can enter debate teams or individual participants in the speech events. Students can compete in several different speech categories including: radio address, impromptu, and poetry. The tournament will last from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and con-

clude with a costume contest and award ceremony. This will be the Tillamook speech team’s third competition of the year. “We attend a competition each month,” Tillamook Head Coach and Oktoberfest Tournament Director Andrew Morgan said. “We compete with schools from all over the state. It’s often a David and Goliath situation because we are competing against teams that are much bigger than ours.” The Cheesemakers have 30 members on their squad this year, but they go up against 5A and 6A teams with as many as 120 people. “We’ve managed to do really well over the years despite that imbalance,” Morgan said. The speech “season” stretches from September till the state competition in April, longer than any high school sport season. Tillamook’s team hosts practice

twice a week where students draft their original material. Morgan is thankful for the continuing help from supporters that make the club possible. “We have an unbelievable adult support network in the community, we’re unique in that regard. We have adults that help out at practices. We have our own booster club in the community that focuses on fundraising and works on raising awareness of speech and debate in the community.” He hopes that the public speaking practice offered through the speech club and competitions helps students get ready for adulthood. “It is so beneficial. I think that it’s one of the most valuable things we do at the high school in terms of preparing students to go out into the world and communicate with people and represent themselves.”

The Tillamook School District’s “Salmon Watch” happens Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Loren’s Drift, near the Trask River fish hatchery. Organized and taught by THS science teacher Clair Thomas, the all-day event is for seventh-graders. “We’ll have 160 of them,” Thomas said, “plus 50 to 60 high school students and adults as mentors.” Loren’s Drift is located on Chance Road about ¾-mile before the Trask River fish hatchery. “It’s a big area with a seven-acre lake,” Thomas said. The students learn about fish biology, water quality, creek function, and macroinvertebrates. The high school students lead field trip stations for the middle-schboolers. “We do it every year,” he said. “We’ve been working all month on things related to Salmon Watch.” Students will gather data, write reports, and present them. “The goal

Graduation

By Julius Jortner

For the Headlight Herald

More than two dozen students from public schools across Tillamook County recently received two intense days of peer-mediation training at the Officer’s Mess at the Port of Tillamook Bay. The trainers, Amber Boydston and Joslyn Janapol, came from Resolutions NorthWest of Portland, by arrangement with Conflict Solutions For Tillamook County. The students came from grades 7-12 at Tillamook Junior High School, Tillamook High School, Tillamook Options Program School, and Neah-Kah-Nie High School. Some had volunteered on their own and some agreed to attend after school staff suggested they might make good mediators. Only the Nestucca Valley School District, the smallest in the county, was not represented at the training. Randy Wharton, principal at Nestucca Valley High School said he considers mediation programs to be valuable, but that this year his teachers were committed to attending a mentoring training scheduled for the same dates as the training. Noting that his small staff is stretched quite thin, he hopes his district will be able to participate next year. One goal of the peer mediation training was to empower youth to manage their own interpersonal conflicts in a positive and non-violent manner. According to Karin Kaser, a counselor at Tillamook Junior High School, two students may develop a conflict about rumors, gossip, friendship, racism or other issues. Peer mediators will sit down with the students involved

Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi talks with students at a recent peer-mediation training at the Officer’s Mess Halls at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Josi said county commissioners often rely on the same skills that mediators use to solve conflicts. and try to help them resolve the situation with a written agreement and without an adult present. Much like the work of a county commissioner, said Tim Josi, who dropped by during the second. Josi said his work as a Tillamook County commissioner relies on just the sort of skills mediators use. “Everybody likes to talk with people who agree with them,” he said. “Try to work with people you don’t see eye to eye with – if you can do that, you’ll be a step ahead of your peers.” Esther Troyer, a NeahKah-Nie counselor said she would like to see the peer mediation training taught to a broader group of students, something she hopes the schools will be working towards. Troyer said she believes peer mediators are helpful when they teach other

students some of the skills they’ve learned, and they are a valuable resource for advisory groups at the school. So agreed Huston Beené, a Tillamook High School sophomore who said he liked the idea of helping other students and giving advice. However, he said he learned that mediation “is really better than giving advice [because] you’re letting people discover their own solutions.” Caitlin Worel, a 12th grader at Tillamook Options Program School said she thought the training should be mandatory for all schools. “I never got these tools before,” she said. Mahonie Fry, a junior at Tillamook High School, was attending her fifth peer training. She started, back in 7th grade, because “I thought it would look good on my college resume,” she said.

As time went by she found it good to help people, to learn the needs of other people. She now has experienced and appreciates the power of having “neutral ground where a person can say everything and not be judged, so everything gets put on the table.” The skills she finds most important? “Empathy and active listening,” she said. After the group adjourned, Boydston said she was impressed by “this group’s diversity, openness, and spirit of caring.” Added Janapol, “Both of us feel the work is about creating social change, towards more peace, something so valuable and so needed.” For more info about mediation in Tillamook county, contact Marie Heimburg, coordinator of Conflict Solutions for Tillamook County, at 503-842-1812.

he first power outage of Nehalem is now behind us, although it was only for about an hour, so I am not sure if you would really call it a power outage. But it is enough to make you wonder if you are ready with an “Outage Kit” that includes a first aid kit, flashlight, fresh batteries, candles, matches, battery operated radio, wind-up clock, blankets, sleeping bags, paper plates, plastic utensils, bottled water, manual can opener, and non-perishable food such as cereal, peanut butter, crackers, etc. Protect your electrical equipment with surge suppressors. If you are able, have a corded telephone available, because cordless phones won’t work when the power is out, or a cell phone low on battery power, so this is a great back up. Remember to turn off and unplug all sensitive electrical equipment, and if you have children try to make sure you have cray-

It’s odd to be considering offers in the low hundreds of dollars for a car that I wouldn’t have parted with at any price just days ago. I’m carless for a season while I decide what comes next; what a blessing that Tillamook Transportation’s Wave bus is walking distance to both home and work for a mere $40 a month.

ovember is sure making up for the dry days we had so far this fall. Record amount of rainfall now in November. It wasn’t a bad day for the Halloween trickor-treaters. Now that the businesses down town are giving the kids treats, we seldom see the costumes anymore. Little kids still wear their favorite outfits. I saw lots of ghosts, demons and witches. I was on my way home from Forest Grove at the time the trickor-treaters were getting their bags filled on the main street of Tillamook. I saw few princesses in pink frilly dresses with gold or silver crowns. Just older more grown up kids. Some were bringing younger ones with them. That is a good idea. If parents aren’t with them an older brother or sister along is good protection.

Thanksgiving this year is undecided. We all miss James so much on the holidays. He always liked being with family. His birthday is Nov. 21 so that is a time when we can congratulate him on being 82 years old. I will be 82 next on Feb. 16, 2014. I’ll have to get used to writing 2014. Seems I just got used to writing 2013. I did get all the clocks set back an hour over the weekend. Dark when I get up in the morning, and dark so early in the evening. No more beautiful sunsets with all the rain coming in one storm after another. All the yard work didn’t get done before the rains, so hopefully there will still be a few dry days to trim up the bushes and cut back flower stems. The waves have been high in the ocean and I can watch from my upstairs windows as they come crashing in to shore. I don’t see the gentle waves from upstairs in the summertime. So there are always changes to look forward to. The Nea-Rock Garden Club met a little early at the Nazarene Church on Saturday, Nov. 9 so we could all sit together.

For the Headlight Herald

Last year, the North County Food Bank served 98 families at Thanksgiving time and Imie Camelli, director of the food bank, doesn’t see that changing much in 2013. The holiday season is always a busy time of year, and the Thanksgiving numbers doesn’t include families served by other organizations, like the Rockaway Beach Lions Club and Secret Angels. “I can’t predict week-in and week-out how many families we’ll serve. One week, it may be 25, the next week, maybe, 10 or 12,” said Camelli, who celebrated her 90th birthday earlier this year and has been with the food bank the past 16 years. However, when it comes to the holidays, in particular Thanksgiving, Camelli knows she can count on more families seeking assistance. So does Richard Brantner, who took over the duties of purchasing agent for the food bank when long time volunteer Richard Jones moved to the valley. “One thing we’re seeing is more people per family. Of those 12 families we serve on those slower weeks, there may be eight to ten people per family,” said Brantner. “It’s a matter of children maybe having lost a job moving back in to live with mom and dad,” Camelli added. “We’re seeing more extended families.” While the pace picks ups this time of year, the food

bank finds itself short-handed as “snowbird” volunteers have left the area for winter. Currently, the food bank is looking for at least six addition people to help out on Tuesday afternoons, the one day of the week the Wheeler food bank opens its doors. “We need two interviewers, three ‘shelf pickers’ and someone to handle fresh produce and personal hygiene accessories,” said Camelli. Volunteer hours are generally from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoons, but doesn’t mean every Tuesday, if a volunteer cannot make it. For the most part, Camelli has been lucky when it comes to volunteer help; most have been with the food bank a number of years, like Anna Hawkins, a shelf picker, who is going on six years. In anticipation of Dick Jones leaving the

organization in July after a decade of service, Brantner learned the ropes from Jones working with him months in advance to learn what a purchasing agent does. Though Camelli was sad to see Jones leave, the food bank didn’t miss a beat. But, now it’s crunch time and extra volunteers are needed. Very little heavy lifting is required as packed food is placed in shopping carts for food bank clients to ferry to their means of transportation. If interested, call Betty Caputo at 503368-4080 or the food bank at 503-368-7724 for details. One other note, with Christmas Eve and New Years Eve each falling on a Tuesday this year, the North County Food Bank will be open on Monday, Dec. 23 and 30, from 1 to 3 p.m., instead of Tuesday those weeks.

Identifying different oak trees One of my favorite Oregon deciduous trees is one that isn’t generally seen on the coast but is evident and obvious in the Willamette Valley. It’s the mighty oak. One of the largest – and most diverse – groups of trees in the world, oaks make up over 500 species of trees, 60 of which grow in the United States. They come is a variety of sizes from huge, spreading giants to small shrubs. Some oaks are evergreen while most are deciduous. Some are better suited to dry soils while others will tolerate wetter roots. The two major points that all oaks share are acorns and clusters of large buds on the ends of the twigs. There are only three different oaks native to Oregon, making our job of identification easier. And to make it even easier, I am going to discuss only two of those three as the third – Canyon live oak – is found in south central Oregon. So the two trees to learn for November are the Oregon white oak or Garry Oak (Quercus garryana) and the California black oak (Quercus kelloggii). If we have the luxury of leaves – and we often do as oaks generally maintain their leaves until spring when the new leaves push off the old – the white oak has rounded lobes, while the black oak has very pointed lobes. Also, the white oak acorns have shallow caps with the black oak acorns having a deeper cap. Oregon white oaks grow to 80 feet tall with a three foot trunk diameter. Younger trees have an almost trimmed look, but by the time these giants reach old age, say in 200 or 300 years, the trunks are shorter and thicker and the

limbs are heavy and gnarly. The bark of the mature white oak is gray and may be rather shaggy or have ridges along it. These are the colossal trees we see in the open fields as we leave Route 6 to travel to Portland. With a rounded crown and gracefully twisting limbs, they are hard to miss. White oaks are widely used by landscapers because of their impressive size, their longevity, their deep roots, and acceptance of urban parks. While they are intolerant of shade, they are generally the largest trees in the park, so they create shade instead of being blocked by it. Surprisingly, Oregon white oak is not as commercially used as its eastern United States cousin since it is just as suitable for flooring, furniture and shipbuilding. Eastern oak forests provide ample supplies and our oaks are generally scattered with short trunks, making them less desirable. This tree is named after Hudson Bay Company’s secretary Nicholas Garry, who accompanied David Douglas on his western travels. The California black oak can grow to 80 feet with a 3 foot diameter trunk, too, but they are generally smaller than the white oak. Their leaves are very deeply lobed, with 7 pointed

lobes that are bristle-tipped on the ends. These sharply pointed leaves make black oak easier to distinguish from other Oregon oaks, but we have to be a little careful here as many nonnative oaks that have been planted along streets in cities and towns resemble black oaks in this characteristic. Pin oaks come to mind, a tree that does not do well on coastal streets because of the wind that can weaken branches. Black oak acorns are about 1 to 1 ½ inches long with a deep cap. Black oak bark is darker than the white oak, giving this tree its name. They are mostly found in California but can grow as far north as the Umpqua Valley in Oregon. They like it drier, warmer and sunnier than we have on the coast, and can be found on lower hills and in broad valleys. Black oak is not as longlived as white oak and may develop rot in its old age. It is used mostly for firewood, although it has sometimes been used for flooring and furniture. In my research, I found that many animals and birds consider oak acorns as an excellent food source. Woodpeckers will drill holes - just the right size of an acorn - into the bark of oaks, telephone poles, and barns. They then use their beaks to hammer the acorns into these holes, making it impossible for the squirrels and chipmunks to get them. Not a bad trick. Early Native Americans would soak oak acorns in water to remove the tannin before eating them. Personally, as much as I admire these stately trees and all they stand for, I would have to be awfully hungry to eat an acorn.

t’s never too early to remind you of things to put on your calendar. Well, here’s a biggie. The annual Lighting of the Christmas Tree is coming up Friday, Nov. 29. Be sure to bring canned food for our local foodbank. And get your creative juices flowing and make some windproof, waterproof ornaments for the trimming of the tree. Since this is our first illumination at the new wayside, it would be grand to deck our tree in festive attire. Now for the kids among us or within us, Santa will take time from his busy schedule and make an appearance. There will be caroling, yummies for our tummies, and making awesome memories of the community celebration. The spirit of Christmas will be alive in our little town at 6 p.m. With the holidays arriving quickly, if you are entertaining a crowd, another option is to consider the Civic Facility at city hall. It’s a perfect place to plan a celebration and will mean less wear and tear on your home. Call 503355-2291. We have attended some New Year’s Eve parties there in the past. The hall can be a real showcase. Applications for the Lions Club Holiday Baskets are available at city hall. If you know of anyone in need in our little community, be sure to pick one up for them. They are due Dec. 4. Just another

am having so much fun returning to life with an almost even gait to my walk. I have physical therapy twice a week and am amazed at the difference it is making. Kudos to the Tillamook Hospital Physical Therapy Department. I was able to attend the Wadley Family Fundraiser and even help a little, I have been going to Pub Talk and really enjoying it and I played Bunco for the first time in 2 months with some ladies that always make me laugh. I can go to the store without using assistance like the scooters at Fred Meyer, and this is a good thing for society as I was horrible at driving them. I am still not playing my guitar with Benny and The Bay City Rockers as there are a lot of performers in the group now and I don’t want my foot stepped on. But hopefully in another month I can return to them. I am still a strong supporter always in their audience though. Please mark your calendar for this upcoming event being held right here in town: The Bay City Arts Center (BCAC) is pleased to invite you to participate in the BCAC Annual Fall Fundraiser. This year the event, “Night at the Casbah,” will be a Moroccan themed event with food and fun for the whole family. The event is Saturday, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m. at the BCAC. The night will begin with a community dinner. The menu will consist of chicken, chickpea and squash soup, rice, salad, dessert and sweet mint iced tea. They will have a live belly dancing presentation, traditional

wonderful Lion Club community service. Have you stopped by at Offshore Grilling yet? The other day I noticed their special of the day was bacon and spinach stuffed chicken breast wraps. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. They came with potato salad, pineapple coleslaw or BBQ-baked beans. Everything is freshly made and if you can’t stop by, call 541-918-1730 and they will deliver. They have different specials daily, and if you like them on Facebook you will be able to see the special of the day. I recently asked if you have donations for the improvement of Seaview Park to drop them off at the city hall. Well, if you could make the checks payable to the City of Rockaway Beach, perfect, but designate that they go to Seaview Lake and Park Restoration. Don’t forget to drop off your contributions to help restore this beautiful little jewel within our city! So, here’s something fun for those winter days. There is clogging every Tues 10:30 a.m. at the Rockaway Beach Community Center. And you will find line-dancing Thursday at 1 p.m. at the same location. Lions Club bingo is still having their games Friday and Saturday through November. Then they scale down to just Saturday night. Be sure to stop by the Lions Hall and have a little fun. Meals for Seniors is having their yummy French toast breakfast at St Mary’s dining room on Nov. 30. There will also be a Christmas Bazaar Silent Auction. Lots of fun stuff going on the weekend after Thanksgiving! “Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!” Middle Eastern music, and a silent auction featuring a collection of items from local Tillamook individuals and businesses. Proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will be utilized to support creativity throughout Tillamook County through the programs and partnerships facilitated by and conducted through the BCAC. Only 50 tickets will be available for the event, and cost $20 each. Tickets are available at the BCAC and Tillamook Pioneer Museum. The Bay City Arts Center is a non-profit organization made up of committed individuals from all walks of life, volunteering to support creativity throughout Tillamook County. For more information regarding events and programs offered by the BCAC, please contact us at 503-377-9620.

Dogs and husbands: the training challenge

omeone asked me recently, you don’t like pets, do you, Schubert? Of course I like pets. It’s pet owners I don’t like. More accurately, I don’t like what happens to my friends when they get a pet. They lose IQ. Case in point, Poopsie-woopsie, ask Schubie-woobie if he wants some coffee. Another case in point, Americans spent $350 million on Halloween costumes for their pets this year. Bringing reality into a conversation about pets is like commenting on a woman’s weight. It’s a bad idea. If you’re a man and you have a fraction of the sense God gave a worm, you will never say anything about a woman’s weight. Same with pets, not that I’m inferring anything by mentioning women and pets in the same column. How do I get out of this? See what I’m talking about? Bad idea. According to John Bradshaw, director of the Anthrozoology Institute at the University of Bristol in the U.K., who has spent much

he new TAPA play opens Friday, Nov. 22, for a 3-week run. “Inspecting Carol,” written by Daniel Sullivan, is directed by Chris Chiola and features Reggie Coon, Richard Coon, Rebecca Dougherty, Brett Duer, Sarah Edwards, Ann Harper, Sandra Koops, Robert Kratz, Al Johnson, Sylvia Johnson, Devin McDaniel, Elizabeth Radoczy, Glenn Rankin, Pablo Santos and Croix Swanson. “Inspecting Carol”

of his career debunking bad advice given to dog owners in his book Dog Sense, your dog is not a wolf nor a furry human who likes to walk on four legs, nor is it vying for dominance Bradshaw said your dog’s job is to be more self-reliant than an adult and better behaved than a child, meaning mature than a husband. Since we frequently leave dogs alone, your job is to teach your dog how to be alone. You do that by having the same routine, getting your keys from the same place, going out, staying for ten seconds, and coming in. Repeat by staying longer each time. Soon your dog will ignore you just like a hus-

band. When you come back, make a fuss over your dog so it associates you leaving with pleasure like a husband does. I tried this technique with my son. I sent him outside to play, each time longer than the last to get him used to being away from us, ignoring his comments that no one ever came to look for him, or that it was raining. Even though dogs are colorblind and have a small advantage hearing in the upper tones it is their nose that is amazing. Between two identical swimming pools, a dog can tell which one has had added a teaspoon of sugar, but it can’t tell you why someone would add sugar to a swimming pool. I think dogs have a right to sniff things, Bradshaw asserts. When I meet a dog I hold my hand out. Not doing so, he says, is like meeting someone while covering your face. I agree with Bradshaw in principle, but I didn’t hold out my nether region to be sniffed at a recent dinner party and if their German shepherd can smell a teaspoon of sugar in a

swimming pool, why did it need to contact my crotch intimately with it’s nose under the dining room table at a friend’s house during the salad course so that I mistook it for the redhead across the table playing footsie. Good thing I didn’t return the favor. I would have had to cover my face. One of the most common problems owners face, says Bradshaw, is knowing what to do when a dog misbehaves. For example, many owners might be inclined to immediately and physically reprimand a dog for that classic embarrassing moment, humping a visitor’s leg, but, Bradshaw says, that’s the wrong way. They see any form of attention, even negative attention, as a reward. Instead, he says, owners should look away immediately and pretend the dog isn’t in the same room, ignoring them, arms crossed. The same should work with a husband. You’ll find that quite quickly the dog or husband will get the idea what it’s not supposed to do when friends come to visit.

isn’t your average playwithin-a-play; rather, it’s a play about a play – “A Christmas Carol,” of course -- and the broke community theater company (aren’t they always broke?) that’s putting it on. Yes, it’s a comedy, complete with mistaken identity (an aspiring but incompetent actor mistaken for an inspector from the National Endowment for the Arts). It’s a different – and probably refreshing – look at the madness of the holiday season. Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22-23, Nov. 29-30, and Dec. 6-7, with matinees at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 1 and Sunday, Dec. 8. Opening night – Friday, Nov. 22 – is the standard “cabaret” setup, with a champagne reception and appetizers. You’re getting this early warning because tickets are going fast. (You may have

noticed that happens a lot with TAPA performances.) Reserve your seats by contacting Diamond Art Jewelers at 503/842-7940. Saturday, Nov. 23 is also the night of the big annual fundraising dinner and charity auction for the Bay City Arts Center. This year, they’re billing it as “Night at the Casbah.” They’re having a traditional Middle Eastern dinner, with spanakopita, chicken and lamb souvlaki, tzatziki, hummus, horiatiki, and eggplant – and (got to quote them here) “exotic traditional belly dancing!” And a plethora of unique auction items you could either give as Christmas gifts or keep for yourself. Only 50 tickets will be sold; get yours either at the Pioneer Museum (503-842-4553) or by contacting the Arts Center (phone 503-377-9620, e-mail baycityartscenter@ gmail.com).

Among that plethora of unique auction items will be a house concert by me (your choice of dates), and also (fingers crossed – I haven’t got them yet) a copy of the brand-new Gospel CD, “Pole Dancing for Jesus,” which isn’t available in stores yet – it’s brand-new. I’ll be (fingers crossed again) taking copies with me when I go back to New Hampshire on the 14th, the day after this column appears in the paper. ‘Cause that’s the other big news (though it’s personal big news). One of my songs won the Oregon State Grange’s Talent Show earlier this year, and my prize is a trip back East to perform the song at the National Grange Convention, which this year is in Manchester, N.H. I’ll be there Nov. 14-17. First time I’ve been back East (except for Nashville) in over 20.

Hailey

Hailey is a 5 year-old lab/english bulldog mix who is very ready to meet her new family. She is a big girl, very stout and short, weighing about 100 pounds. Older, more mellow kids would be best for her. She'd really prefer to be a solo dog, but she does get along with some other dogs. Hailey is spayed, current on shots and microchipped.

The only mystery about this young lady is who will be the lucky one to adopt her! Mystery is a 5-month old ball of joy who loves having a partner, human or feline, to share playtime antics with, and to cuddle up with once all the toys have been vanquished. Solve your puzzle of wonderful companionship with Mystery!
