illamook School District held a ceremony to recognize teachers’ academic achievements and hand out the inaugural North Star Awards on October 13, at the high school auditorium. Six teachers and one staff member received the award, which was conceived by new Superintendent Matt Ellis to recognize the positive impacts that teachers and staff have on students’ lives. “It is often the case that we wait until the end of the

school year to recognize our employees,” Petty said. “By celebrating our educators more consistently, we hope to acknowledge more employees, more frequently.” Samantha Atchison, Marcelo Carocci, Adriana Cepeda Oliveras, Courtney King, Skylear Clowers, and Brooklyn and Hayden Bush received the student-selected North Star Awards from members of the Tillamook High School student government. Atchison, who teaches language arts at the high school, was credited with helping the student body’s

vice president, Sammy Schmader, overcome a fear of public speaking and making her feel seen and heard. Student body secretary Audrey Miller said that Carocci had made history entertaining and engaging, which had not been her prior experience with the subject. Communications Officer Bridget Allen thanked the Bushes, who both teach agricultural sciences and run the high school’s 4H program, for their mentorship in that program and for always helping to put a smile on her face.

Treasurer Lorena Nieves also credited Cepeda Oliveras, who teaches Spanish, for helping to keep her smiling through the ups and downs of high school and thanked her for always listening. Student Body President Austin Berry Killian wrote in a letter read by Schmader that Clowers, who works in custodial services, always brings a positive attitude to his work that helped to put him in a good mood.

Doug Olson CARE welcomes Jeff Blackford as Executive Director selected as county commissioner C WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

ommunity Action Resource Enterprises Inc. in Tillamook has hired Jeff Blackford, who brings an extensive and successful history in charitable organization management, as its new executive director. Blackford recently sat down with

the Herald to discuss his history, passion for not-for-profit work, philosophy and plans at Community Action Resource Enterprises Inc. (CARE). “With programs and partnerships and relationships we can develop and create these programs,” Blackford said. “That’s going to save the taxpayer a lot of money, it’s going to save lives, it’s going

to keep people out of jail, it’s going to keep people out of the ER and at the end of the day we hope to make a huge difference in the population of people that are homeless.” Born in Seattle, Blackford grew up in Alaska before attending college at the University of the Virgin Islands, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. After college, Blackford briefly returned to Alaska

before moving to Seattle and meeting his partner, Jim. Together, the couple bought Timberline Spirits, a successful bar and music venue in Seattle that they ran for seven years.

Commissioners interview applicants for temporary opening WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

he Tillamook Board of County Commissioners held an extended interview on October 16, with the six candidates vying to finish Commissioner David Yamamoto’s term after his retirement at the end of the year. After the candidates had introduced themselves to the county and commissioners at a forum the previous week, the commissioners focused on how applicants would lead the county government and asked for more policy

for hard drug possession. They also broadly supported making the treatment offered by Measure 110 mandatory rather than voluntary. Each of the candidates also said that, if selected, they would rely on county department heads and staff for expert advice on the issues and use that to inform their decisions as commissioner. There was also broad support for considering the rezoning of lands across the county to allow for more housing development, and Fournier mentioned working with employers on private-public partnerships

details. The commissioners discussed the candidates, Paul Levesque Jerry Keene, Ken Henson, Paul Fournier, Mike Wilson and Doug Olson, at their weekly meeting on October 18, and selected Doug Olson to fill the position. The decision will be finalized with a board order at their October 25 board meeting. See the front-page story for more details on those discussions. Other than Henson, each of the candidates is a registered Republican and, all said that they support reinstating criminal penalties

for housing or considering county owned developments. The question of how to supplement the county’s revenues also drew a broad consensus, with Olson, Levesque, Henson and Keene voicing their support for instituting a serial levy to support the sheriff’s department. Levesque also mentioned the possibility of selling carbon credits against the storage capability of the Tillamook State Forest to supplement or replace declining timber harvest revenues. Fournier objected to the idea of conditioning

public safety funding on voter approval and said that he favored increasing the county’s transient lodging tax (TLT) or instituting a seasonal prepared food tax. Keene also favored possibly raising the TLT and updating zoning to attract more businesses to the county., Henson called for a strategic plan and Williams said that the county should find ways to target digital nomad workers, who could generate additional TLT revenues. Levesque and Olson touted their experience testifying in both Washington D.C. and Salem to legislators

and working with regional and statewide groups as assets that would serve them well if selected. Fournier and Keene each pointed to their extensive history in courtroom proceedings as invaluable experience for offering testimony and Williams and Henson said they had testified before lawmakers on previous occasions. After more than two hours of answering questions, Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and Erin Skaar agreed that they would discuss their thoughts and make a selection at their meeting on October 18.

Commissioners move forward on DA office renovation WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

illamook’s Board of County Commissioners announced their intent to award a $337,000 contract to Columbia Cascade Construction for the renovation of the District Attorney’s office at the county courthouse at their meeting on October 18. The commissioners also accepted three grant awards from various agencies that will bring almost $4 million to Tillamook County over the next three years to address substance abuse disorders, purchase equipment for the $27 million radio system

replacement and supplement funding for the Kiwanda Corridor project in Pacific City. Tillamook District Attorney Aubrey Olson appeared at the meeting to discuss the current condition of her office and the planned upgrades. According to Olson, as well as the commissioners and other county staff who spoke at the meeting, the office is woefully out of date and in desperate need of an update to continue serving the DA’s needs. The office’s current layout was achieved through piecemeal upgrades and renovations that have taken place since the courthouse’s

1933 construction. The office is spread across two floors at the courthouse and makes use of the disused jury dormitory and other repurposed spaces. Olson said that the current configuration is cramped and loud, with narrow walkways forcing staff to dance past each other on the way to court and bad noise flow leading some to come in on Saturdays to work in peace. There are also a host of safety and cosmetic issues that will be addressed, including asbestos remediation and the replacement of worn-out flooring. In addition to refreshing the space, the renovation

will also remove a disused bathroom and with the demolition of a wall, incorporate it into a new, larger workspace for staff. Fans will also be added to increase air circulation and walkways will be widened to increase access and safety. The renovation will improve 1,500 square feet of the office, and Olson said her staff of five attorneys and five support staff, plan to make use of other spaces in the courthouse and work from home as possible during construction. A $2-million grant for radio equipment that will be

used as part of the ongoing replacement of the county’s emergency services radio system comes courtesy of the Department of Justice. Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty said that she would continue to work on finding other grants to help defray the project’s $27 million price tag. Commissioners accepted another Department of Justice grant, this one for $1 million over three years, to support the county’s substance abuse disorder programs. The funds will allow the county to hire two recovery peers dedicated to working

with law enforcement officers interacting with citizens suffering substance abuse disorders. A portion of the funds will also be used to create a program to track overdoses in Tillamook County in partnership with Oregon State University, allowing the county to better understand the crisis locally. The grant will also allow for the continuance of a partnership between the county’s three school districts and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation to educate county youth on substance abuse disorders and sustain the county’s free Narcan program. The final grant accepted by the commissioners will bring $750,000 of Oregon Parks and Recreation funding to the Kiwanda Corridor project currently underway in Pacific City. The funds will supplement previous funding to allow the completion of a new restroom in the Cape Kiwanda State Park parking area, a scenic overlook, paths and other amenities. Commissioners also granted Verizon permission to enter and inspect two sites along Highway 6 in preparation for siting cell towers. The sites are near Ming Creek and Fall Creek and will encompass a tenby-ten-foot plot leased by Verizon. The move continues the forward progress on adding cellular service to a 40-mile stretch of the vital road link between Banks and Tillamook. The new towers are being made possible by the new transpacific, submarine cable that is set to land on the beach near Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp in south Tillamook County before continuing to Hillsboro along the Wilson River route. Commissioner David Yamamoto thanked Amazon Web Services, the cable’s main client, for their partnership with Tillamook County in allowing data connections to facilitate the towers and expanded broadband services to communities along the cable’s route. Yamamoto said that the most recent discussions about the added cell coverage projected that it would take nine towers in Tillamook County and two or three in Washington County to cover the entire stretch. Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and Erin Skaar also selected Doug Olson to fill the impending vacancy on the board following Yamamoto’s retirement at the meeting. Read more about that decision in this week’s front-page story.

Garibaldi council tables fire district decision, schedules special meeting WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

aribaldi’s City Council decided to wait to make a decision on submitting paperwork to the county to ask for voter approval for the North Coast Fire District at their October 17 meeting following Bay City’s withdrawal from the plan. Councilors scheduled a special meeting for October 23, to allow themselves more time to review the updated documents before making a decision. Garibaldi councilors and residents had been working with counterparts from Bay City on the proposed

merger since May of this year. They unveiled a plan to combine the Bay City Fire Department, Garibaldi Fire Department and Garibaldi Rural Fire Protection District at a meeting in late September. However, at their October council meeting, Bay City’s mayor and councilors said that they had lost faith in the proposal, citing Garibaldi’s tenuous audit situation and their doubts about voter approval, and withdrew from the process. Following the withdrawal, Mayor Katie Findling asked fire department staff to work on updating the proposal to encompass just the two Garibaldi entities. By the

time of the meeting, they had completed an updated budget proposal and were waiting for a contractor to update the paperwork required by the county to be added to the ballot. The budget document showed that with the same proposed tax rate of $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value, the department would bring in around $675,000 annually against a projected budget of just over $544,000. The need for supplemental funding from the city, as included in the original proposal, would be removed in the new configuration, sending an extra $100,000 to Garibaldi’s general fund

annually. A fire department employee said that the district would require funding for the first five months of operations before tax revenues started to arrive, but that it would be able to repay the city within the fiscal year. Given the late-breaking change in plans, councilors asked for additional time to review the provided documents and to allow updates to the documents requesting inclusion on the May 2024 ballot. The council tabled the matter and scheduled a special meeting for October 20. Findling also announced that Garibaldi had been selected as a Coast Guard

City, an honor shared with just 33 cities, including Newport, Astoria and Florence on the Oregon Coast. The application process was shepherded by former Councilor Laurie Wandell and a ceremony will be held on November 28 at 10 a.m. at the Old Mill Event Center to celebrate the selection. Neah-Kah-Nie School District Superintendent Tyler Reed also attended the meeting and updated the council on happenings in the district. Reed, who took over as superintendent in July, said that this year the district has three main focuses: treating people well, student

growth and improving communications with the community, with a special focus on social media outreach. Reed also discussed the cooperative agreements that exist amongst the three school districts in the county, which include shared access to career and technical education resources for all their students. Reed also said that through Tillamook Works the districts have been helping students find internship and apprenticeship opportunities during their junior and senior years of high school, and asked business owners to consider participating.

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

illamook’s city council held a first reading of an updated ordinance regulating the upkeep and repair of wastewater transmission lines servicing private residences at their October 16 meeting. Jason Hopkins was also appointed with a unanimous vote to temporarily fill the seat of his wife, Councilor Rebekah Hopkins, who has been unable to attend meetings in recent months and the council voted to approve an increase to their monthly stipend. The council reached a consensus to move forward with the transmission line update, which will see the period allowed for repairs greatly extended while maintaining the current penalties for failure to remediate issues. City Manager Nathan George told the council that the issues with the city’s wastewater system were longstanding, with ordinances addressing repair responsibilities dating back to the 1970s. Each year, damaged lines allow the inflow and infiltration of excess wastewater that costs the city more than $1 million to process. The update to the ordinance is part of a push to address the issues and reduce the excess processing costs. The primary update to the ordinance would be an extension of the time allowed to complete repairs after a problem is detected from 60 days to 180 days, with the ability for property owners to appeal for a further 180-day extension or hardship waivers. The ordinance would

maintain the $250 per day fine assessed to property owners who did not complete the work within the allotted time frame and the offending property’s water utility bill would be doubled until their transmission line was repaired. Inspection of transmission lines would be required after the sale of a home, to allow new connections, if a property’s use changed or in several other circumstances, a past requirement that has not been enforced recently. The size of the fine drew intense scrutiny from Councilor Nick Torres who

argued that it was too high and could potentially bankrupt a hypothetical, elderly female constituent. George clarified that the $250-a-day fine could be waived at his discretion or appealed to the city council. He further said that the fine was standard for many violations across the city, citing overgrown grass and yards with garbage. George said that he hoped the fine would not be levied and said that the city was working to educate homeowners about a warranty that covers the transmission lines to lower

their risk. George mentioned an outreach event that the city is holding on October 30, at 6 p.m. at Tillamook Bay Community College to get that message out. Torres was unconvinced, though the other councilors said that without a fine the ordinance would be toothless and offer the city staff no tools to force compliance. Mayor Aaron Burris questioned why homeowners were responsible for sections of transmission line under the public right of way SEE TRANSMISSION LINE PAGE A6

‘Zombie Outbreak’ haunted house to raise funds for band By CHELSEA YARNELL Guest Contributor

ew school year, new band director, new

music. Andy Sharma joins the Tillamook School District Staff as band director after six years of teaching around the Pacific Northwest

including time as an adjunct professor at George Fox University. “I wanted to teach in public schools again and especially in high school. That’s what I was aspiring for,” Sharma told the

Headlight Herald. “The community as a whole really values and puts a lot of effort into music and the arts.” As band director, Sharma oversees band and music classes at both Tillamook High School and Tillamook Junior High School as well as the pep and jazz bands. “This year is starting off with me getting to know the students and their talents. We’re working on fundamentals and paying attention to how we are building our tone and technique,” Sharma said. “My predecessor Bob Lee instilled great knowledge in them. I’m learning about traditions and what makes the Tillamook program.” With the pep and jazz bend underway, Sharma has dreams of adding a marching band in the future. “[It’s] something that’s a few months to year away, but we want to start small like marching in the Tillamook Holiday Light parade,” Sharma said. “It will be fun

and interesting; adding a new aspect to our football games [in the future].” In the meantime, Sharma said the students are looking forward to upcoming band trips and concerts. “We’ll be traveling to the University of Oregon’s Festival of Bands at the end of October,” Sharma said. “It’s a great thing for our students to see field marching bands.” To raise funds for the program and future trips, the THS band will be hosting a “Zombie Outbreak” haunted house. The haunted house will be open October 26, 27, 30 and 31 from 7-10 p.m. at Tillamook High School. Admission is $5. Catch the THS and TJHS bands live at their winter concert on December 12 at Tillamook High School. Members sought for community band In addition to working with Tillamook students,

Sharma wants to expand musical opportunities to the community. “We’re trying to get more traction with a community band,” he said. “We have about seven people who have a background and are interested in playing. We’re still looking for as many members as we can.” If enough interest is garnered, Sharma says he plans to host practices at a nearby church with rehearsals on Sunday evening. “We welcome people with any number of years of experience, even if they haven’t played their instrument in a while,” he said. “We want to represent the town of Tillamook and show we have an active music scene.” If interested in joining the community band, reach out to Sharma at sharmaa@ tillamook.k12.or.us

DOUG OLSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 panel interview in the week preceding the selection and will be formalized by a board order at the board’s meeting on October 25. Olson brings a deep reserve of experience in county issues to the position, having served on many county government committees and boards across the county. Bell and Skaar both expressed admiration for his knowledge base and commitment to serving the people of Tillamook County. “A lot of people have identified Doug as someone should be at this table and I agree with that,” Bell said, referencing numerous past attempts by people in the county to convince Olson to run for the board. After addressing the rest of their legislative and administrative agenda, Bell and Skaar returned from a brief recess to consider the six final candidates who had

participated in the public process over the last weeks: Olson, Ken Henson, Jerry Keene, Matt Williams, Paul Levesque and Paul Fournier. The commissioners began by thanking all the applicants for their participation and praised the ideas that they had brought to the table during the process. Skaar then announced her three top candidates among the finalists as Olson, Keene and Levesque. Skaar said that she preferred choosing a candidate who would not be running in the 2024 election. She also said that she had put emphasis on an ability to hit the ground running with a strong knowledge base in her considerations and weighed the importance maintaining diversity on the ground. She also encouraged Fournier, Williams and Henson to run next year, saying she believed they brought good ideas to the

fore and would make good commissioners. Bell said that in her personal deliberations, she had tried to consider who the voters would choose as a guide. Like Skaar, Bell said that she preferred selecting somebody who was not running in next year’s election, to avoid giving an incumbency advantage to one candidate. An ability to come up to speed quickly was also a priority for Bell and she said that she had arrived at the same three candidates as her top three choices. The commissioners then discussed each of the finalists and what had drawn their attention to them. Both commissioners said that Keene was brilliant and that his passion for the opportunity had shown through in the process. They also mentioned his experience writing legislation as an attractive trait and

cited his leadership of two attempts to incorporate Oceanside. Olson’s deep knowledge of Tillamook County and the issues facing it, as well as his experience participating on various county committees and boards from the county’s budget committee to Tillamook Lightwave to the Tillamook People’s Utility District also impressed Bell and Skaar. Skaar noted that Olson had previously announced his plans to retire at the end of 2024 and said she was concerned about the prospect of taking him away from those other committees during his last year of public service. Bell interpreted Olson’s impending retirement differently, saying that she was thrilled that Olson would choose to spend his last year in such a demanding position. Levesque, who served

in the county government for more than 40 years, also has a deep familiarity with the issues facing the county and its administration, both commissioners noted, with Bell referring to him as the “brain trust of Tillamook County.” From there, each named their top two candidates, with Skaar voicing support for Olson and Keene, and Bell selecting Olson and Levesque. Bell suggested that they select Olson since they both had him in common among their top two. Skaar again returned to the issue of Olson’s retirement, saying that she was worried about him starting projects during his time as commissioner that he would not see through following his retirement. She said she felt that Keene would continue volunteering with any projects he started and expressed concern about

replacing Olson on the county’s budget committee, which already has one vacancy. Bell said that, given his history, she believed Olson would see through any projects he started as a county commissioner. She also questioned why Skaar would prioritize continuity in this instance after both had agreed that selecting a person who would serve on an interim basis was the best course of action. Skaar agreed to select Olson for the appointment and the commissioners directed staff to prepare a board order formalizing the decision at their meeting on October 25. Skaar asked Yamamoto for his feedback on their deliberations and he said that he felt they were “absolutely going in the right direction,” and praised the decision to select an interim appointee.

sister to an overdose, which he credits for helping him to come to terms with his own addiction issues and inspiring his career choice. “That is one of the triggers that put forth in my mind wanting to help people with addiction and mental health,” Blackford said. “I didn’t know where it would lead me but the death of my sister just had a horrible impact on me but it also had a very positive impact because it put me on a footprint and on a path of helping people.” Those personal experiences have also given Blackford a deep empathy for those CARE serves and

informed an approach that prioritizes their humanity. Among other things, this includes eschewing the term “client” in favor of “peer,” to promote a feeling of equality between staff and those they serve. Blackford is also passionate about training, diversity, equity and inclusion, and accessibility of services for all. He is adamant about the importance of community partnerships with both organizations, the homeless community and all citizens of the county, inviting anyone to join him for a coffee to discuss CARE’s services.

“CARE cannot do it alone,” Blackford said, “the only way that we’re going to be successful is by working with our community partners.” Blackford encouraged anyone who is interested in supporting CARE to consider volunteering with the organization, making a cash donation or bringing supplies like, socks, garments or sleeping bags to CARE’s headquarters on First Street. CARE will also hold its third-annual, online fundraising event on December 1, with a watch party being planned at its offices.

JEFF BLACKFORD CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 on the crowded dancefloor pulsing to “everything from 70s disco to trance, high energy, to country western.” In 2006, the couple sold the Timberline and moved to Lincoln City, where Blackford got his first nonprofit job, working as the development director at the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation. Blackford met his mentor, Connie Isaac, while working at the organization and his interest in nonprofits was whetted. After several years, medical issues facing his parents led Blackford to relocate to Albany to help take care of them. Struggling to find a job in the area, Blackford came across a listing on Craigslist for the executive director position at Communities Helping Addicts Negotiate Change Effectively (CHANCE), a nonprofit group serving people suffering from mental health and substance abuse disorders. Blackford was quickly hired and set about growing the organizations’ offerings, finding funding that boosted the budget from $89,000 to over $3.6 million during his tenure and using that money to operate five locations across three counties and build a 140-bed shelter. “That is where I got my true love and passion of doing what I do now, helping people, making a difference in peoples’ lives, making a difference in the community,” Blackford said. “Because it’s not just about what we do for the individual, it’s about what we do for the community.” Positive community impacts are important to Blackford, who said that offering people mental health and substance abuse

treatment and helping to house them increased the entire community’s safety and livability. When CARE’s executive directorship became vacant earlier this year, Blackford learned of the opportunity and was immediately drawn to the new shelter that is coming to First Street in Downtown Tillamook, and, specifically, its lack of barriers for access. “That one little phrase, no-barrier, is what caught my eye and said I want to be a part of this,” Blackford said, “I want to be a part of building a shelter and building this for the community.” The new shelter will include the 400-square-foot, no-barrier facility, open 365 nights a year, as well as six smaller units that will house individuals, couples or families, depending on their size. The shelter’s first phase will also include two bathrooms with plans to expand the facility next year with additional shelters, a laundry facility and kitchen, and other services for homeless residents. While the shelter has received county approval for construction on the lot between CARE’s headquarters and the U.S. Postal Office, work has been delayed by site planning issues springing from the property’s steep slope. Blackford said that groundbreaking on the project is expected shortly, with opening planned for near the end of the year or in the first weeks of 2024. In addition to the shelter, Blackford is passionate about CARE’s other offerings and its outreach work to inform those experiencing homelessness about the supports available, including

help with finding mental and other healthcare, housing, employment and social services. Blackford also said that working with community partners is critical. He wants to build relationships that will allow calls about homeless people to be channeled to CARE by first responders. He said that this will provide a preferable alternative to incarceration or trips to the emergency room and get the person the support they need. “Instead of having one more mark on their record, let’s do something different for them, let’s see if we can’t make a positive impact on their life by supporting them with other programs,” Blackford said. The mission of helping those experiencing struggles with mental health issues and substance abuse disorders is deeply personal for Blackford, who is in recovery and has been sober for 28 years. He also lost his oldest

he Tillamook Cheesemaker football team got its biggest win of the season on October 19, downing the Cowapa League powerhouse Scapppoose ng Indians 46-29 in a road matchup. The win came thanks to a persistent offensive performance led by another standout showing from senior quarterback Tanner Hoskins and a bend-don’tbreak effort from the defense. The Cheesemakers now have a shot at a share of the e league title and a playoff home game, after their final touchdown gave them the edge in the event of a to tied league championship ll following the regular season’s conclusion this week. “That was a playoff caliber football game for sure,” Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson said. “They are as good of a program as anyone in the state, at any level. So, putting together a complete game the way we did and walking out of there with a , win is a huge deal for us.” Hoskins completed the

game with 294 yards passing and three touchdowns against one interception and contributed 102 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while stepping up in the defensive secondary for the Mooks. “He’s making smart, aggressive decisions and his athleticism and instincts are top notch,” Johnson said of Hoskins. “I think he’s the most dynamic offensive player in 4A football.” Scappoose started the game with the ball in excellent field position after recovering an onside kick attempt by the Mooks to start the game. The Indians picked up a first down before a holding penalty put them behind the chains and forced a punt. Tillamook’s offense took over at their own 40-yard line and established a rhythm immediately. Receptions from Griffyn Boomer and Eligio Maciel combined with a rush from Hoskins and horse collar penalty against the Indians to give the Mooks a first and goal from the five-yard line. But after a penalty for aiding the runner on first down, Tillamook had a

mishandled snap on second that ended up on the ground and was recovered by Scappoose for a turnover. The Indians advanced the ball to near midfield with a thirty-yard pass, but backto-back pass deflections by Tillamook defenders on second and third downs forced another punt. Starting at their own 36-yard line, the Tillamook offense took advantage of slow subs on second down, snapping the ball quickly, allowing Andrew White to bust open a 24-yard run. Hoskins rushes on two consecutive plays put the Cheesemakers inside the redzone, before White found paydirt on a third-and-goal from the three-yard line shortly after. Hoskins’s point after attempt sailed wide and the Cheesemakers led 6-0 with just over two minutes remaining in the first quarter. Scappoose responded with a touchdown drive of their own, with the highlight play coming on a fourth and nine near midfield that the Indians converted with a pickup to the Tillamook seven. With a successful PAT, Scappoose took a 7-6 lead with two

minutes gone in the second. The Cheesemakers took over at their own 26 and started driving with White picking up first downs in the air and on the ground before Hoskins rushes moved the ball into Indian territory. Scappoose, which played a chippy game and drew penalty flags all night, interfered with a Tillamook receiver and drew an unsportsmanlike penalty and player ejection for a late hit on Boomer to set up a firstand-goal from the nine. Running back Seth Wehinger picked up seven yards on a bruising run before Hoskins punched it in from two with a quarterback draw. A successful PAT put the Mooks on top 13-7 with 5:49 to go in the first half. Scappoose answered back in kind with its quickest drive of the night, scoring on a short receiving touchdown in just over a minute and a half to retake a one-point lead, 14-13. A touchback on the ensuing kickoff set the Cheesemakers up on their own 20 and an offsides call against the Indians gave the Mooks a first down. Facing a fourth-and-three several

plays later, Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson elected to go for it. Hoskins found White in the flat, where the back slipped one tackle and found a lane, breaking away from the defense for a 68yard touchdown scamper. Tillamook attempted a fake field goal on the point-after play but the Indians sniffed it out, leaving the Mooks with a 19-14 lead with 1:38 remaining in the second. A Scappoose three and out and Hoskins interception on a last-second Hail Mary sent the Mooks to the locker room with the five-point lead. Tillamook’s opening possession of the second half started at their own 32. After two plays for no gain, Maciel found a huge hole in the Indian secondary near midfield and took a Hoskins pass for a 68-yard touchdown. Tillamook went for two following the score but were stuffed by the Indians, leaving them with a 25-14 edge. Once again, the Indians answered with a quick touchdown drive, trimming the Tillamook lead to 25-21 at the eight-minute mark in

the third quarter. Tillamook’s next drive was sabotaged by repeated penalties against the Mooks, ending with a fake punt attempt from their own three-yard line falling short of the needed thirty-yardplus pickup for a turnover on downs at the 33. The Cheesemaker defense dialed up the pressure on the next possession and forced a turnover on downs at the 26-yard line. The Mooks next drive built some initial momentum, with Wehinger and Carson Rieger advancing the ball into Indian territory, before Boomer fumbled the ball after a reception, with Scappoose recovering. The Indians started marching, entering Tillamook territory, before another fourth down conversion attempt ended with an incomplete pass and gave the ball back to the Mooks at their own 34, shortly into the fourth quarter. Maciel came up with another long reception for the Mooks on their next drive before Wehinger took a rush 20 yards to the left SEE CHEESEMAKERS PAGE A8

after a two-year absence, which followed the 2020 COVID-19 canceled season. “The kids played really well and holding a team to zero points is pretty tough to do, but we had a good defensive game plan and the kids went out there and executed it very well,” said Quintana-Rios. “I felt like we were in control of the game from start to finish. Since it was our Homecoming game too, the kids came out ready to play and they were really excited to get out there and show our hometown crowd

what we can do. We’re hoping that we can keep our momentum going in our next game too.” Following a scoreless first quarter, the Pirates went up 6-0 in the second when senior quarterback Anthony Allen threw a touchdown pass to freshman receiver Nathan Vance.

Cheesemaker boys’ soccer wins Cowapa League title By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

he Tillamook High Cheesemakers captured their first Class 4A Cowapa League boys soccer title since 2016 after concluding their 11-game season Monday versus the St. Helens High Lions (result unavailable).

The No. 2 ranked Mooks (10-0 league, 13-1 overall), won four recent games over league opponents, while outscoring them by a margin of 10-2. The Cheesemakers won at home 3-0 over the Banks/ Vernonia High Braves (1-8 league, 2-11-1 overall) October 7, followed by a 2-0 road win over the Astoria High Fishermen (2-4-2

league, 3-7-2 overall), which marked their fifth shutout this season. Junior forward Diego Lara scored both goals in the win over Astoria. Tillamook, guided by head Coach Brian Reynolds and assistant Coach Ulises Chacon, won at home 2-1 over St. Helens (2-42 league, 3-6-3 overall) October 12, followed by a 2-1 win over the Seaside

High Seagulls (5-3 league, 7-4-1 overall) October 17 at Seaside. “Seaside is very tough team and we knew that we would have another close game with them,” said Chacon. “We’re really cranking out the wins now and it feels great to win the league title. We’re hoping that we’ll keep winning because we’re focusing on

making a deep run in the playoffs this year. After we let the first game (a 6-1 Aug. 31 loss to Newport) kind of slip away from us, we’ve recovered well, but it was a real wake-up call for us at the beginning of the season.” Chacon, a 2016 Tillamook High graduate, is in his first year as the Mooks assistant coach, and he’s also a coach for the Oregon Coast Football Club youth soccer squad. The Mooks fell behind 1-0 20 seconds into the contest at Seaside High School and overcame the deficit when Lara scored in the 29th minute, knotting the score at 1-1 and where it remained at halftime. Lara’s goal was his 14th and he broke the Tillamook High School alltime single season scoring record that was previously held by Ethan Miller. Senior midfielder Bryan Hernandez scored the gamewinning goal in the 61st minute, putting the Mooks on

top 2-1 and they held on to get the close win. The Mooks won the previous matchup with Seaside by one goal to in a thrilling 3-2 home win September 28. Senior forward Christian Cordova and Lara each scored for the Mooks in the win over the Lions. It was a scoreless tie at halftime and then the Mooks scored two second half goals for a 2-0 advantage. St. Helens scored a goal in the 71st minute, making it 2-1. The Mooks reached the OnPoint Community Credit Union OSAA 16-team state playoffs for a third straight season and they’ll play a first round game home game on November 1 against a yet-tobe-determined opponent. The Mooks are hoping advance past the first round after losing in that round the last three season. With a win, Tillamook would reach the Nov. 4 quarterfinals for the first time in recent history.

CHEESEMAKERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A7 for a rushing touchdown. A successful PAT attempt put the Mooks ahead 32-21 with just over eight minutes to play. Scappoose returned the kickoff to the Mooks’ 36yard line and their offense took advantage of the short field, scoring a rushing touchdown moments later. A successful two-point conversion cut the Tillamook lead to 32-29 with 6:28 to go. Tillamook took over at its own 35, and began a methodical drive, highlighted by a Ryan Wilkes reception that moved the Mooks into Scappoose territory and 14yard Wehinger rush to the 11. On third down from the 13-yard line, Hoskins found Rieger in the end zone for a touchdown that extended the lead to 39-29 with 1:38 to go. At this point, the Mooks faced a unique situation, with the opportunity to secure the tiebreaking decider if their final margin of victory was greater than 13 points. “What unfolded in the last six minutes of the game was something we hadn’t encountered before,” Johnson said. “Score to go up by 10 points late in the game, and then needing to recover an onside kick with 90 seconds left and then still try to drive it the rest of the way to score again was a really unique circumstance to be in.” Aided by a personal foul penalty on the Indians

for a late hit following the previous touchdown, Tillamook lined up for the onside kick at the Indians’ 45. Hoskins’s bouncing kick careened off the hands of a Scappoose player and the Mooks jumped on the loose ball at the 30-yard line. After three incomplete passes, Hoskins kept the drive alive with a fourth-andten scramble for a first before finding White for a reception at the goal line. Hoskins then punched the ball in on a draw. Hoskins’s extra point sailed through the uprights and gave the Mooks the final, 46-29, margin. “I’m so proud of the effort and the heart we showed for a full four quarters,” Johnson said. “I think that was an indicator that we have kept improving all season long, and also that when we are locked in like that, we can be a tough football team.” With the win, Tillamook improved to 6-2 on the season and 3-1 in league play, putting them in a three-way tie for first place in the Cowapa League with Scappoose and the Seaside Seagulls. This week, the Cheesemakers travel to Milwaukie to take on the 3-5 Mustangs with a chance to win a share of the league title, after winning outright last season.

first possession of the second half at their own 20-yard line. It didn’t take the Pirates long to get into the end zone. Allen (28 carries, 237 yards rushing) scored on a first down, 80-yard touchdown run, to help the Pirates take a 12-0 advantage. Following Corbett’s ensuing possession, the Pirates had another impressive quick score. Senior Asher Kronoff took control of a Cardinal punt and scored a touchdown on a 90-yard punt return to extend the lead to 18-0 in the third quarter. The Pirates extended their lead in the fourth when Allen

capped a scoring drive with a 10-yard touchdown run. Allen then tossed a two-point conversion pass to sophomore receiver Nathaniel Tinnes, putting the Pirates on top 26-0. The Pirates faced the Knappa High Loggers (4-1 SD1, 4-2 overall) in their last league game October 20 at home (result unavailable).

GUEST COLUMN: TRYING TO SEE Caregiving’s Bittersweet Memories

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Please vote yes for NCRD

ear community members, I am writing you today to both introduce myself and to ask for your help in supporting the North County Recreation District (NCRD) by voting yes on ballot measure 29-177 during the November 7th, 2023, Special Election. This is a renewal of the 5-year Operational Tax Levy and is essential to ensure funding of the existing services and programs that

we all enjoy. First though - a little bit about my family and me. We moved here in 2022 after a lengthy search for a small coastal town with good schools and a strong sense of community. NCRD was one of the first points of contact for us when we moved here - and in fact the pool and school swim program were major factors in choosing this area. While our son attended preschool at New Discoveries, we realized just how important NCRD is for us and the entire community. The memories we have made

and the relationships we have formed there are precious and the reason why I decided to run for an open board position last spring. Having the opportunity to help nourish and shape NCRD is an honor. This levy does not present a tax increase and does not fund the new pool project. Five years ago, this passed by an astonishing 72.9% - and this year with your support, I hope we are able to surpass that percentage. Please vote yes for NCRD.

o my fellow community members: I am writing to encourage you to support North County Recreation District (NCRD) with a YES vote in the November 7, 2023 Election. Approving the Tax Levy for General Operations at NCRD will ensure operations of this important community resource for another five years. When I moved to North Tillamook County several years ago, NCRD was one of the first community resources I discovered. I visit the fitness center regularly

WRITE TO US LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We want to hear from you and encourage you to write letters to the editor. Because of space limitations, shorter letters have a better chance of being printed. We may edit your letter for style, grammar and clarity, although we do as little editing as possible. Letters longer than 300 words will not be printed. Letters can be on any topic, but letters on local issues will be given preference. Letters to the Editor that attack or challenge private individuals or private businesses will be refused. Challenges to public officials may be permitted. Only one letter per writer will be published on a single topic each month. Thank you letters are limited to mentioning individuals and non-commercial organizations and cannot exceed 200 words. Letters need to be submitted by 4 p.m. Wednesday the week prior to publication. We also welcome longer guest editorials. These might be columns written

each week and have taken an assortment of fitness classes over the years. I have also appreciated the NCRD Performing Arts Center (PAC), a remarkable venue for a small coastal community like ours. One of the highlights each year is NCRD’s support for the Missoula Children’s Theater. This partnership offers young people in our community an opportunity to participate in a week-long theater camp that culminates with a delightful performance for the community. As CEO of Nehalem Bay Health Center (formerly Rinehart Clinic) I have additional insights into NCRD as

a community partner. NCRD helps support the clinic’s wellness programming by coordinating with our staff on wellness classes for patients. The variety of programming available at NCRD reaches all ages and the facility provides an opportunity for social gatherings that help build community. From art shows and community theater to spin classes and swimming, there’s something for almost everyone at NCRD. Please join me in supporting this important community resource with your YES vote in the November election. Sincerely, Gail Nelson

friend’s husband just died from Alzheimer’s Disease, after several years of her giving him loving care. She will now start to gather and reweave the threads of her own life, as many other people have done after painfully similar experiences, including myself twelve years ago. And my dear partner of two years, Phyllis, took care of her husband until exhaustion finally set in for her. So many of us in such circumstances do our best, even go beyond what we think is our best, until we finally realize we can no longer take care of our loved ones by ourselves. Jan, my wife of 27 years, died on July 4, 2011 of Alzheimer’s Disease, having been diagnosed with it eight years earlier. After her diagnosis, in the moderate stages of the disease, she experienced a slow decline in her memory capacity, which depressed her. She began to forget recent events, some from only moments earlier. She slept longer, exerted herself less, became less confident, more tentative when walking. She took my arm everywhere we went. Her sense of mental and emotional well-being began to decline as she realized the disease would become worse and eventually kill her. In one sense, my life became easier in the early stages of Jan’s illness, even though I took over grocery shopping and cooking, cared for the house and yard, and gave increasingly detailed care to her. I could now make decisions we had previously shared, and she was glad for that. All decision-making became harder for her, created tension and anxiety, and contributed to angry outbursts on her part. I learned to navigate our changing lives in a new way: patience blended with love and respect for her.

TRYING TO SEE MICHAEL RANDALL merslife@gmail.com Three years later, things had become worse. I had read and reread and marked up that great book, “The 36hour Day,” which was like a “how-to” bible for me as a caregiver. Jan began to have TIAs (transient ischemic attacks), non-bleeding strokes of indeterminant cause, wherein oxygen is temporarily cut off from one’s brain. She would lose her balance and sometimes collapse, be unable to answer questions and just stare at nothing. During the first several of these attacks I raced her to the nearby hospital and the emergency staff evaluated her, then prescribed the platelet inhibitor, Plavix, to fend off a possible major stroke. Each time, after an hour or so, she recovered and could not remember that anything unusual had happened. After several more TIAs, the doctor told me, “Mike, we’ve done what we can with the Plavix. You don’t need to bring her back here when she has these attacks. Just let her rest at home.” That was disheartening to hear because I feared that something worse might happen to her, and felt inadequate to cope with that big unknown, and I would be on my own to deal with it. Both of us grew more tired as time passed; we went to bed earlier, sometimes around 8:30 p.m. I ran my thumb over her eyebrows and forehead, which always helped her fall asleep. Watching her grow drowsy calmed my own troubled heart. In her book, “Alone with You,” Marisa Silver wrote that human love is a “…mixture of frustration and gratitude and hatred and tolerance and surprisingly intractable, illogical attachment.” No doubt, love can be all those things, though I never felt the “hatred” element.

There came a time when I could not do the work alone anymore, fearing my own physical and emotional collapse. I was exhausted, felt on the edge of tears. My hands had begun to tremble. I got up in the night to help her to the bathroom or change the bedding, was unable to leave her alone for fear of what might happen to her. Confused at times, I made poor decisions. Months went by with my tormented backand-forth thinking. Could I go further in caring for her? How could I move her away from our home? Anguish and guilt and grief took me over. But I was lucky. An excellent Catholic-run nursing home stood only a few miles from our place. Leaving her there was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. There was also relief in it for me, but when I went home that first night, I felt like the vilest creature that had ever walked the earth. I curled up in our cold bed and bawled my eyes out. As the months passed, I spent hours with her each day. She could no longer walk, and forgot who I was. She could not speak coherently, but whatever her words meant, I just said, “Yes, I agree,” or nodded “Uh-huh” and smiled. She seemed satisfied with my responses. Then, perhaps she had a major stroke, though the doctors were not certain. But they said she was near the end of her life. I sat beside her bed each day for the last two weeks and held her hand. I talked to her. She never opened her eyes or gave any indication that she heard me when I spoke. But when I squeezed her hand, sometimes I thought she gave me back a small squeeze. In the last moment of her life, Jan opened her eyes for the first time in a couple of weeks and raised her head up. She looked straight skyward, and a look of tremendous awe filled her face. She slowly sank back onto the pillow, closing her eyes. Her breathing slowed over several minutes, and finally stopped. After a moment I realized she had gone away. I just sat there awhile holding her hand, and wept. She had been released, and so had I.

ongratulations are in order for a number of Cape Meares artists and writers whose work will be featured in the 2023 edition of “The North Coast Squid: A Journal of Writing and Art,” published by the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita. In fact, one of Ciel Downing’s photographs will be on the front cover. Bev Stein will have a photo collage in the magazine, and writings from Ciel, Butch Freedman and Helena Fagan will be included in this issue as well. The Hoffman Center will host a “Squid Writers Read” Friday, November 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. Audience attendance for this event is capped at 50; advance registration is required (there may be a livestream option; check the Center’s website at https://hoffmanarts.org). A “Squid Art Show Gallery Opening Reception” will take place Saturday, November 4, from 2 to 4 p.m. This will be an informal, drop-in event; no registration required. The art pieces will be up at the Hoffman Center all month, with many for sale. Hats off to our talented neighbors. A recent meeting of the Cape Meares Community Association Board resulted in a decision to increase the fees for use of the Barbara

The board retained the rule that if an event is sponsored by a community member and open to everyone in the community, there is no charge. The sponsoring community member must be present for the event, paid or free. Claudia Cameron and Steve Quinn were also added to the Board at this meeting. In further Board news, Aaron Cope has taken over as Treasurer. The Board thanks departing Sean Kohles for his excellent work in this role. Bring back the good old days. Years ago, BJ Byron hosted Sunday coffees at our community center, an informal way to visit with neighbors while warming up with some yummy treats. Ann and Steve Quinn have restarted this tradition,

with the first coffeehouse held on October 15. About 15 individuals showed up to partake of scrumptious gluten-free apple spice and raspberry almond muffins, delicious sourdough cinnamon buns, and nutritious apple slices and oranges. All this plus some good coffee and a selection of teas; it was fun and a great way to foster connections in the community. Thank you, Ann and Steve. The next coffeehouse is planned for December 10 from 9-11 a.m. Text Ann at 503-457-7536 if you’d like to bring something to a gathering or help with set-up or clean-up. Trick or treat. The Cape Meares Halloween potluck will be Saturday, October 28. The social hour starts at 6 p.m. and the dinner at 6:30 p.m. Please bring a dish to serve eight; CMCA will provide sodas and water, as usual. BYOB if you would like. Costumes are encouraged but optional. See you there. This column is going to press before the Great American ShakeOut of Oct. 19. Tune in next week for a report on how Cape Meares did in this important drill to prepare us for a 9.0+ magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

eptember’s city council meeting ended with a comment from Mayor Charles McNeilly about participation in city government: “How to get involved? Watch the workshops. Workshops are the discussions that lead to decisions.” These begin at 4:30 p.m., the second Wednesday of each month. You can attend in person or via Zoom, on the Calendar section of the city’s Web page, http://corb.us. You can also sign up to receive the agenda packets for these workshops by entering your email at the bottom of that page. These workshops provide the mayor, council members, and city manager Luke Shepard the opportunity for questions, discussion and inquiry into the issues on the agenda for the meeting which follows. They give a preview of what projects are being considered, as well as insight into how the city makes decisions which affect us all. I attended the October workshop. The first item on the agenda was a discussion of the preliminary Streets Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a look at required improvements (including water and sewer where needed) for a number of streets in Rockaway. The CIP, submitted in the packet emailed out to anyone on the list, includes a five-year plan with streets and their needs listed in detail. Another discussion centered around the Anchor Street playground. This ADA-compliant playground will include a number of outdoor activities suitable for wheelchair users. Designed by BCI Burke, the company that built the popular pirate-ship playground at

ROCKAWAY BEACH SCOTT FISHER sfisher71@yahoo.com the Wayside, this looks like an inviting and soon-tobe-cherished answer to the city’s expressed need for more activities for kids, both residents and visitors. The council expects to vote on the playground in next month’s meeting, and groundbreaking could begin in 6 to 7 weeks after that. From then it’s an expected 14-week process for construction, meaning we could have this new playground by early spring, in time for next year’s tourist season. Even more significantly, the council then had a conversation about ranking and prioritizing tasks on the city’s schedule for the next year. The 35 projects on the schedule, many of which are already in progress, are sorted into categories based on their timeline for execution or completion during the next year. It was left that City Manager Shepard would schedule a future workshop to go over each of the tasks, line by line. Councilor Mary McGinniss stressed that this needs to be public, with recordings and announcements. A lengthy discussion over the relative importance of these projects resulted in the mayor proposing a meeting specifically to walk through the list, with an eye towards the importance of each task. I will post details of that meeting when it is scheduled.

One final topic significant to the city: the 2024 Fourth of July celebrations. Controversy exists over whether to continue our traditional fireworks displays, with increasing concern about noise, pollution and more, or to consider replacing it with a drone display. Councilor Mary McGinniss stressed the need for a public conversation about this question, and Mayor McNeilly proposed a feasibility discussion about any proposed drone display. This is a question that is bound to elicit strong emotions on both sides, and I will publish the dates, as far in advance as possible, for when the city will hold the discussion about our Fourth of July celebration. Expect it during November, as this is the lead time required to prepare for our Fourth of July event. In short, this workshop included discussion of at least three vital questions about the city’s present and future. Some of these questions have yet to appear in a city council meeting. Why? The meetings are meant as an up-or-down vote on items on the agenda. The workshops provide back-and-forth discussion on the merits and challenges of programs and projects the city is facing. Again, workshops are open to the public but not nearly as well attended as the city council meetings. This is something we can change. If you want to learn more about these workshops, sign up for the email list on the city Web site, http://corb.us. You’ll receive the agendas for workshops and city council meetings, with all attachments. You can attend in person or via Zoom.

weekend getaway with Diane, a friend from high school, was postponed last Saturday because of illness. Diane and her Mom hosted me Friday night (with my pup Maggie) despite being under the weather.

ommy White was last seen by his identical twin brother, Robby, and friends at their home on 10th St. in Garibaldi around the 10-10:30 pm time range on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. Tommy had finished his shift at Crab Rock Pizza, stopped off at the Garibaldi Chevron for an alcoholic beverage purchase and reportedly walked home. Then a few minutes after he got home, he went out of the house, beverages and jacket reportedly left behind. Tommy does not own an automobile and his bike is still at the house. All known friends and family have been in contact, with nothing to report. Tommy White is 21. He stands about 5’6’, slender with squared shoulders, brown hair, pure blue eyes and an unforgettably radiant smile that has likely brightened your evening at Crab Rock Pizza or Garibaldi Portside Bistro in the last couple years. Tommy is the son of Cheryl Gierga, the proprietor of Pacific Gypsy boutique as well as a part-time bartender at the Ghost Hole Public House. He, his identical twin brother Robby, and mother all live at the 10th St. Residents. I am aware of the events because I’ve been in contact with the family and helping construct a timeline of events for authorities.

Now, as editor Chappell could attest, I haven’t met a deadline I don’t like to play chicken with, but on this occasion, I’m holding out hopes that I have something more concrete to note. And now I’m hoping I’m writing filler for some just-before-print changes. If you’re reading this, then nothing’s changed as of Friday, the 20th. This also means that the first copies of this edition, available Monday night, October 23rd, will be 5 days from our posts’ deadline. All that to say any more details or prognostications will simply be in vain. So, I’m stealing the time to do something way more incredible… I’ve known Tommy and Robby since they were about 15, 16 years old. They had a relative serve with me on the Planning Commission. Katie and I, living in the area of town we call the “Cavitt Compound,” and being supporters of “Bistro Nation,” we’ve had numerous conversations with Tommy over the years. A couple years ago, Tommy asked me if I wanted to see him fight in an MMA fight. I was like, “When did you get into MMA? And where do you train?” He gave me the details, and noted he had been training since he was in 8th grade, when he was being picked on for his size and decided to learn how to defend himself.

link to his Sunday fight. I sat and watched him take on a fighter he was clearly giving away 3-4 inches and thirty pounds to. Sure, he lost, and like all of us mama’s boys, he was overtly gentlemanly about the whole thing. But even in such graciousness, you could see Tommy was more and more believing that it’s true what that say about it not being as much about the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man. I note that now, with nothing but seemingly a puff of smoke to go on, that whatever you are, and whatever you’re doing, and if it’s Monday night and things are the same, that, Tommy, I’m hoping you’re remembering the size of the fight in you. For it is incredible. And we’re ordering ribeyes for us and our families when you get back. If you see or hear anything, or have some surveillance video you think might help, please contact Tillamook County Sheriff’s Officer Mike Reeves, or the TCSO dispatch at (503) 842-2561, or simply call 9-11. Don’t send evidence to me as it could taint the chain of command. Of course, I’ll take a tip and pass it along, but anything that appears to be evidence should go to TCSO. Lastly, Tommy’s extended family is in town to pound the pavement and conduct additional searches. At this time, Robby & Cheryl have been instructed to stay home for when Tommy arrives. Anyone offering to lend support, a hand, a pair of eyes, a shoulder, or even a casserole to the search for Tommy, please call his mother, Cheryl Gierga, at 503-300-8033. Keep fighting, Tommy, whatever the battle. Thank you, y’all. “To the children and the innocent, it’s all the same.” – Jack Kerouac

is responsible for all Coast Guard operations throughout the Pacific Northwest which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and 125 nautical miles of the international border with Canada. We expect an impressive presence of Coast Guard members, as well as local, county, state, and federal officials in attendance. The Coast Guard City Program recognizes communities that support local

Coast Guard members and their families through a broad range of activities, programs, and actions. As an example, the City of Garibaldi presented a Pat Patterson Day proclamation on March 7, 2022, to honor Mr. Patterson, one of the few remaining WWII Coast Guard veterans who served his entire duty in Garibaldi. The community came together for a Coast Guard Appreciation Day in August 2022 with lots of

family activities and a special competition between the Garibaldi Fire Department and the Coast Guard, live music, and a special tribute to a recently passed Coast Guard retiree. Garibaldi also has a Coast Guard exhibit at our Garibaldi Maritime Museum, a U.S. Coast Guard Historic Boathouse where people come every year for Coast Guard history, and significant educational opportunities for students.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $54,477.17 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $192,097.47 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater.

components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other persons owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the Deed of Trust, the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any.

“Hi, my name is Leo. My foster-mom took my kitty-mom, Wednesday, in last December. Then, on July 7th, Wednesday surprised her with me and my brothers and sisters! I’ve been living in her house ever since. All my brothers and sisters have been adopted. Then, another surprise happened. Wednesday was adopted. On a Wednesday yet! I’m happy here, but I’m alone, and I really want a forever home of my own. As you can see, I’m a super handsome, intact, medium haired tuxxie boy. I’m smart, curious, and playful. By the way, I love being pampered. You may have noticed that I’m wearing a pink collar. It’s my mom’s. I miss her. Humbly speaking, if you want to fill your heart and home with loads of kitty joy, I’m your boy. Just fill out and submit this application. You’ll be so glad that you did.
