Yamamoto discusses Golden Eagle apartments commissionership celebrate major upgrade and and retirement continued affordability

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

illamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto announced his plan to retire from his position at the end of 2023, a year before the end of his term, at the beginning of August. Yamamoto has served as a county commissioner since 2017, focusing particularly on natural resource issues in the county, and said that while he loves his job, distance from his wife and a desire to travel before they are infirm led to the decision to step down. “I love my job, I love what I do,” Yamamoto said. “But there comes a time when everyone has to come to a realization that you’re not indestructible, you can’t do this forever. It is time for me, it is. It was honestly the most difficult decision that I’ve ever made.” Yamamoto was born in 1953, in Selma, California, a town in the central valley about 20 miles south of Fresno. Yamamoto’s family owned a grape farm and he started working there when he was 11 years old. Yamamoto attended Fresno State University and began his career in the area, where he met his wife Terry, whom he married in 1987. His wife had a young son when they married and the couple now have two grandchildren in the Sacramento area. Initially, Yamamoto worked in the timber industry before later working as a long-term care insurance specialist and real estate agent. In 2006, Yamamoto and his family moved from the Fresno area to Portland and Yamamoto and his wife quickly began looking for lots

to build a retirement home on the Oregon coast. In his job as a long-term insurance specialist, Yamamoto covered a large territory across Oregon and would take drives to look at properties for sale whenever his work brought him to the coast. He found a lot in Pacific City Heights whose ocean view attracted him, and after bringing his wife for an inspection, the couple brought the property. Yamamoto says that even before building a house on the property they were blown away by the friendliness of the neighbors, which helped to speed up their planned timeline for moving. “We just owned a lot in Pacific City Heights and yet we were invited to all the Christmas parties and the summer picnics and all that and we just decided, people are so friendly, why are we waiting,” Yamamoto said. “So, we made the move and here I am.” Construction of the Yamamotos’ home took place in 2009 and 2010, and by 2012 the couple were fulltime residents. After moving, Yamamoto started to become engaged in various county government and nonprofit boards, councils and committees across the county. The first group that Yamamoto joined was the Tillamook County Futures Council, which introduced him to the county commissioners at the time as well as Shirley Kalkhoven, of Nehalem, who became his mentor. With Kalkhoven’s encouragement and guidance, Yamamoto went on to join the board of Tillamook Lightwave and had a hand in the formation of the Tillamook Working Lands and Waters Cooperative, one of his proudest achievements. Yamamoto first dipped his toe SEE YAMAMOTO PAGE A4

esidents of the Golden Eagle II apartments in Tillamook gathered with members of the project team to celebrate their recently completed work at the apartments and cut the ribbon on the renovations on October 19. The $11-million purchase and restoration of 33 units in the complex by Northwest Coastal Housing guarantees that the apartments will continue to offer affordable housing to Tillamook residents, with a particular focus on housing seniors. “We’re really grateful to have been a part of this wonderful, thoughtful, caring process,” said Sheila Stiley, Executive Director of Northwest Coastal Housing. “I really believe in the people; this is about the people because without them it’s just apartments.” The saga began when the original owners of the complex that contains the Golden Eagle II apartments began selling off portions of the development. The development has entrances on Sixth and Ninth Streets in Tillamook and apartments had been offered at rates affordable to residents making 60% of the area’s median income since its construction in the 1970s, thanks to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing supporive loans. As parts of the development began to sell last decade, new owners renovated and converted the apartments to market rate rentals. In 2016, residents of 32 apartments received notice that their landlord was applying for a release from loan restrictions that kept their rents affordable in advance of a sale. Fearing for their housing security, residents called Erin Skaar, then the director of

Kitty’s Food & Spirits

Community Action Resource Enterprises (CARE) and began a legal fight to keep their affordable accommodation. The residents filed suit against the USDA, forcing them to follow the statutory process, which called for a sixmonth window when nonprofit organizations would have an opportunity to purchase the units and continue their affordable operation. An initial attempt by the Network of Oregon Affordable Housing (NOAH) to purchase the apartments fell through, at which point Stiley and Northwest Coastal Housing stepped in. Stiley said that representatives from the Oregon Housing Development Center (HDC) reached out to her about the opportunity and asked that she and her board consider becoming involved. Northwest Coastal Housing, which owns more than 200 units of affordable housing in Lincoln County, had already been interested in expanding its footprint to other coastal counties. Stiley was quickly convinced by a visit to Golden Eagle II that it was an excellent opportunity for that expansion. “This property may be little but it’s important,” Stiley said she remembered thinking when she first visited, “these folks are a representation of community.” The group at Northwest Coastal Housing quickly made an offer on the property, which was accepted, and began working on a funding package to support the purchase. They were helped in the effort by a group of companies and nonprofits that had already coalesced around the project including CARE inc, NOAH, HDC, the Tillamook County Housing Task Force, Carleton Hart Architecture and Enterprise Community Partners. The first attempt at building

a funding package fell through in 2020, but Stiley and her team persisted and secured a $1.75-million loan from the USDA’s rural housing program, that will be paid back over a 30-year term at a 1% annual interest rate. But for Stiley and Northwest Coastal Housing, that was just the start, and focus quickly shifted towards improving the aging property. Partnering with BDA Architecture and Planning and LMC Construction, Northwest Coastal Housing was able to put together a package of tax credits and other funding to undertake an $8.7-million remodel. Work began in March of this year and was comprised of completely redoing the buildings’ exteriors, replacing flooring, windows and appliances in all the units, rehabilitating and raising the complex’s sidewalks and adding a 33rd unit next to the property’s laundry room. Construction was staged so that buildings were affected one at a time for five-week periods. Shiloh Inn and Prestige Senior Living housed residents during their temporary relocations, while some were able to stay with family members. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 19, a group of residents gathered in the complex’s parking lot and celebrated the renovation and their successful efforts to preserve their community with members of the project team. Stiley and others spoke before cutting the ribbon, taking attendees on a tour and sharing a BBQ meal. The project’s tax credits require that Northwest Coastal Housing continue offering the units at a rate affordable to residents making 60% or less of the area’s median annual income for the next 60 years.

Garibaldi council moves forward on fire district WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

aribaldi’s City Council voted to ask Tillamook’s Board of County Commissioners for permission to put the question of a merger of the Garibaldi Fire Department and Garibaldi Rural Fire District on next May’s ballot at a special meeting on October 23. The decision came following Bay City’s decision to withdraw from the proposed North Coast Fire and Rescue District at their October meeting and keeps the merger on pace for

4785 Netarts HwyHwy WW 4785 Netarts OR 97143 Netarts Netarts OR 97143

a May 2024 ballot question. The planned merger had been in the works since this spring and aimed to stabilize long term funding for the combined district and offer enhanced services, including the addition of a medical quick response team. However, Bay City councilors balked at the prospect, citing Garibaldi’s financial turmoil and doubts that voters in their city would vote to support the move. They voted to withdraw from the proposed merger at their October meeting, though left the possibility of future participation. Staff at the Garibaldi Fire Department then began

updating paperwork for the district’s formation to remove Bay City’s involvement and had documents prepared by the council’s regular October meeting on the 16th. Councilors asked for more time to consider the proposal sans Bay City and set the special meeting to make a decision. At the special meeting, Councilors Linda Bade and Bud Shattuck expressed reservations and questions about the plan. Shattuck said that he believed the cost for taxpayers would be too high and Bade asked why the district needed to be formed right away.

Garibaldi Fire Deputy Chief Blake Paulsen said that the department was going to need to purchase a $700,000 fire truck in two years and that the district’s budget had been crafted specifically to support that purchase. He noted that the city’s budget did not have funds set aside or immediately available for the truck. City Manager John Schempf said that the move would also prove a boon to Garibaldi’s strained finances. Currently, the city dedicates around $300,000 annually to the department, a contribution that would drop to zero under the proposed plan, freeing that revenue up for other purposes. Shattuck was unconvinced and believed that the $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed

October and that the project was on schedule to go to bid in April 2024 and have work begin next summer. Several public commenters asked Shonkwiler about the possibility of moving utility lines underground during the project. He said that while he thought it would be a smart move, it was late in the project’s development to find funding and plan for doing so but that it would not be a problem for ODOT. Schempf said that he had spoken with the city’s attorney who said that it was possible that Garibaldi Urban Renewal Agency funds could be dedicated to the utility line relocation. The council voted for Schempf to further examine that possibility with the attorney.

property value tax rate would not be approved by voters. Paulsen said that he had heard repeatedly from voters that they wanted to see a district formed and asked that the council allow the voters to approve or decline the proposal. The council voted 3-1 to approve submitting the petition for the formation to the board of county commissioners, with Shattuck voting against. Ken Shonkwiler from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) also appeared at the meeting and delivered an update on the forthcoming project to Highway 101 through downtown. Shonkwiler said that final funding approvals should be secured by the end of

illamook’s Board of County Commissioners accepted a grant of $1,267,000 to help with the design and construction management on the Shiloh Levee rehabilitation project at their October 25 meeting. Commissioners also awarded $100,000 of transient lodging tax funds to the Salmonberry Trail Foundation and formalized Doug Olson’s selection as county commissioner to complete retiring Commissioner David Yamamoto’s term. The meeting started with Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) Executive Director Nan Devlin presenting that group’s annual report. Devlin said that it had been a rewarding and challenging year for the organization. She told commissioners that TCVA has hired a new grant writer and communications director in the past year and hosted a food industry conference at the creamery in May. TCVA helped the Tillamook Swiss Society put on last year’s centennial celebration in November at the fairgrounds and updated the brochure guiding visitors along the Tillamook Quilt Trail. The organization handed out two $1,000 grants to students at Tillamook Bay Community College who are studying in the nature and outdoors program. Efforts at helping local cities with their tourism programs also continued, with Rockaway Beach and Pacific City completing the installa-

tion of new wayfinding signs, which will be matched in Bay City, Manzanita, Netarts and Oceanside next year. TCVA sponsored a wide range of content that raised awareness of Tillamook County last year, including an exclusive sponsorship of Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Abundant Foods, a video with Tillamook Working Lands and Waters Cooperative and the Oregon Harvest documentary on KOIN. The Volunteer Adventure Program was inaugurated, with groups of Girl Scouts and Linfield University students the first to participate. The program allows groups to learn about the natural resources of Tillamook County and participate in volunteer efforts to restore and preserve them. The North Coast Food Trail also continued its success, and a documentary film is in production to spotlight its chefs. TCVA added three electric track chairs to county beaches as part of a continuing quest to increase access. Overall, the association directed over $600,000 in grants, while securing more than $150,000 for their own projects. Devlin told commissioners that design work is currently underway for the construction of a new agricultural building at the Port of Tillamook Bay, with plans to add one for seafood at the Port of Garibaldi after it is complete. The $1,267,000-grant from Business Oregon for the Shiloh Levee Project takes a sizeable chunk out of the project’s projected $4.3-million budget. The levee that protects residents

and businesses along North Main Street in Tillamook is 71 years old and has been on the county’s list of needed projects for a decade. The county will also receive $400,000 from Business Oregon’s special public works fund next year and Tillamook County Chief of O Staff Rachel Hagerty said she is hopeful the rest of the No funding can also be secured from that source in fiscal By year 2024-2025. Hagerty said that construction is tentatively set for 2025, and that the county has requested $1.5 million in fro funding from the federal gov-Th ernment. Even if that appropriation or the second special As Pe public works fund grant aren’t awarded, Hagerty said “A that Business Oregon has a un loan program for which the Ha project is eligible. jus Hagerty said that Tillamook County Director of on Public Works Chris Laity is Ha planning to put out a request add for proposals for the design dy phase of the project shortly. do Commissioners also approved a grant of $100,000 in transient lodging tax funds to the Salmonberry Trail Foundation to support their work building the trail. Finally, Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and Erin Skaar made Doug Olson’s selection as Yamamoto’s replacement official, appointing him to serve in board position two for calendar year 2024. Yamamoto will help Olson get up to speed on the issues facing the county during his last two months on the job, before handing over the reins on January 1.

hainsaws roared, axes were thrown and logs were scaled at the Forestry Event hosted at Tillamook High School on October 21. Nine other high school forestry teams (Future Natural Resource Leaders) including Neah-Kah-Nie traveled to compete in 15 forestry and natural resource events including chocker set, axe throwing, power saw, crosscut, log scaling, pole climbing and tool identification. Waldport High School won the competition overall

as a team with the NeahKah-Nie Pirates coming in second. The Cheesemakers placed fourth. “For the first meet of the year, and for a very young team, I feel we did very well,” Coach and Natural Resources Educator Lori Loeffler said. “As we continue to work with our younger team, we foresee great things as they move from novice to open and scoring points for the team. It was great just to see everyone here trying their best and learning the ins-and-outs of a full meet like this. Many of our team members had never been to one of these meets before, so the experience they gained was priceless and will help them improve moving forward.” The area of competition

was marked with a new sign crafted by Hampton Lumber and Precision Timber. “Thanks to Precision Timber (Geoffrey Hoffert) for milling the wood base and backing for the sign; Hampton Lumber Millwrights Tillamook for cutting the metal portion of the sign; Burden’s for help with delivery and placement; and Dave Kunert, John Wehage and Adam Hopkes for the idea and design of the sign,” Loeffler said. Volunteers and the Class of 2024 SAFE Committee held concessions for the event.

‘A Nice Family Gathering’ kicks off holiday season at TAPA

Opening night Nov. 3 By CHELSEA YARNELL Guest Contributor

amily drama. Turkey dinner. And a ghost from the past. Must be a Thanksgiving play. This November Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts presents “A Nice Family Gathering” under the direction of Ann Harper. “I like the script. This one just seemed like the right one for the holiday season,” Harper told the Herald. “It addresses a lot of family dynamic issues: what we don’t know about our parents

and family and learning about all that.” Written by Phil Olson, “A Nice Family Gathering” is a story about a man who loved his wife so much, he almost told her. It’s Thanksgiving Day and the first family gathering at the Lundeen household since the patriarch has died. At the gathering, dad comes back as a ghost with a mission: to tell his wife he loved her, something he neglected to tell her while he was alive. After all, they were only married for 41 years. The problem is, she can’t hear or see him. The trouble begins when mom invites a date for dinner. “We have three new actors who have never done a

the stage in his second production with TAPA staring as Carl who interacts with the ghost of his father. “It’s something positive to do in this town and the people are just wonderful,” he said of his acting experience. A veteran to the stage, Downs has performed in numerous plays but each production is special in its own way. Including this one in which she stars as “Mom.” “I’m always learning and always have a new family,” Downs said. “This cast is so respectful of each other and of what each person needs. This is a special group.” “A Nice Family Gathering” will run November 3-5, 10-13 and 17-19. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Opening night on November 3 is Gala Night with ticketholders receiving complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres. “After taking all the pieces that need to happen in the theater, it’s so cool when they get up there and you hand the play over to the actors on opening night,” Harper said. “When you get an audience in there and you

play before and two people who it’s their second play,” Harper said. “I really enjoy working with new actors because I get to teach them a lot. I do a lot of work with character development. This play has a lot of relationships. I like to look at the background to know why a character does what they do. It’s not just about learning lines, but learning why these people are saying what they say.” Over the course of ten years with TAPA, Harper has acted in eight plays and directed six. “It’s nice to share my knowledge and love of theater with these new people,” Harper said. Taking all of those actors…from wherever they [are at] and move them all up until we have opening night and everyone is at the same place. It’s a challenge, but I really enjoy watching the growth of the actors and their confidence.” “A Nice Family Gathering” cast includes: Matthew Bergkamp (Carl), Karen Downs (Mom), Fred Foster (Dad), Brice Moorman (Michael), Sarajane Elkins (Jill), Jeannie Foster (Stacy) and Steve Lewis (Jerry).

n October 26, 2023, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to a report of a deceased person floating in the Ghosthole area of Tillamook Bay. A TCSO boat was launched and recovered the body. The deceased has been identified as Tommy A. White, 21, of Garibaldi. White was last seen on October 14, and reported missing on October 15, 2023. He was the subject of a comprehensive search of the area. Next of kin have been notified, and according to investigators, no foul play is suspected in this incident. “This is a tragic event and our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. White’s family and friends at this time,” said TCSO Undersheriff Matt Kelly

YAMAMOTO CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 into the political waters in 2013, when he was involved in the committee that successfully promoted passage of Tillamook County’s transient lodging tax. As his volunteer efforts increased and his profile grew, friends and acquaintances started to encourage him to consider a run for the board of commissioners. “I was involved in so many activities throughout the county people were telling me, ‘Well, Dave, you really should run for commissioner,’ and I poopooed it at the beginning,” Yamamoto said. “But before you know it, I thought, ‘Well, okay, maybe it’s something I should do.’” Yamamoto made his first run for commissioner in

2014, losing to incumbent Tim Josi in the November election. Undaunted, Yamamoto ran again in 2016, winning election to Position 2, where he replaced the retiring Mark Labhart. As commissioner, Yamamoto gravitated towards issues involving the natural resources of Tillamook County, a natural extension of his previous work helping to start the Tillamook Working Lands and Waters Cooperative. At an early Association of Oregon Counties meeting, Yamamoto bragged about Tillamook’s fish conservation and restoration practices, at which point “200 sets of eyes rolled across the room.” Yamamoto decided to start inviting the skeptical commissioners to Tillamook County to tour timber

operations, dairies and fisheries, and those tours have become a regular occurrence popular with commissioners and other elected officials across the state. Yamamoto also became immersed in forestry issues, winning election as chair of the Forest Trust Lands Advisory Council in 2018. In that role, Yamamoto has been a fierce advocate for preserving the revenues and jobs provided by the Tillamook State Forest and fought to prevent harvest decreases in an under-development habitat conservation plan. Another of Yamamoto’s main focuses as commissioner has been fighting against updates to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s

Super Unleaded Non-Ethanol Good for Cars, Boats, ATVs and Cans Unleaded/Diesel/ Non-Ethanol Fuel Available 24/7

(FEMA) flood insurance plan that would drastically curtail development potential in Tillamook County’s floodplains. The proposed update was precipitated by an Audubon Society Lawsuit in 2009 but delayed repeatedly by pauses advanced by former Congressman Peter DeFazio. With DeFazio’s retirement last year, forward progress resumed on the update, much to the consternation of Tillamook residents, more than 100 of whom came to a June meeting at the Port of Tillamook Bay to voice their displeasure to FEMA officials. Following that meeting, the county applied for and was granted cooperating agency status in the ongoing update, a move whose success Yamamoto credits to Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici’s pressure on FEMA. “It is our hope that this slows down and maybe they make some changes to it,” Yamamoto said of the plan, specifically citing the hope

for more limited definitions of development that would not impact agricultural activities. With these issues and others in which he is deeply invested facing the county, it might seem like an odd time for Yamamoto to retire, but personal circumstances have driven the decision. When he was considering a run for reelection in 2019, his wife agreed on the condition that they find a dry and sunny place to retire after a potential second term. Yamamoto won election outright in the May 2020 primary “and by July we owned a home in Henderson, Nevada.” Terry began spending winters in Henderson that year, and Yamamoto said that the separation has taken a toll on him. “We’ve never been apart, so these past three years have been difficult to say the least,” Yamamoto said. Earlier this year, Yamamoto was having a conversation with his wife when she emphasized that

they both were turning 70 this year and had discussed extensive travel plans for their retirement, which she feared missing out on if they waited too long. “She said, ‘you need to do this before you can’t do this,’ and that really hit home for me,” Yamamoto said. After announcing his retirement on August 1, Commissioners Mary Faith Bell and Erin Skaar began the process of selecting a replacement to serve the final year of his term, culminating in the selection of Doug Olson in October. Yamamoto will serve through the end of the year, working to help bring Olson up to speed during his final months on the job. While the Yamamotos’ home in Pacific City Heights recently sold, he said the couple plans to come back to Tillamook County to visit friends. He also said that he has been approached by numerous people about the opportunity to do consulting work, a possibility which he is mulling.

he Tillamook Cheesemakers football team beat the Milwaukie Academy of the Arts 55-27 on the road on October 27, to finish the season 7-2 overall, and 4-1 in league play, securing a share of the Cowapa League championship. The Mooks were in charge from the opening kick, jumping out to a huge lead behind three touchdowns apiece from quarterback Tanner Hoskins and wide receiver Griffyn Boomer, and triggering a running clock for the second half. Milwaukie received the opening kickoff and set up for their first drive near midfield. After building some early traction, the Mustangs’ drive stalled out in Tillamook territory, leading to a turnover on downs. Taking over at the 21, Tillamook wasted no time in striking, with Hoskins unleashing a 50-yard scramble on the first play to the Mustang 29. Andrew White rushed for a first down to the 18 and Eligio Maciel took a reception and threw a beautiful stiff arm to advance the ball to the 6. Hoskins kept the ball for an easy rushing touchdown on the next play and, with the successful PAT, the Mooks grabbed a 7-0 lead with 7:45 to play in the first. Milwaukie went three and out on its next drive and its punter was rushed, forcing a short punt that set Tillamook up at Milwaukie’s 36. Again, the Cheesemakers struck quickly, with Hoskins finding Andrew Rieger on a reception that moved the Mooks to the two before punching it in on another

The Mustangs again went three and out and the Mooks’ next drive was hampered by a holding penalty that forced them into a punt. Milwaukie took over at its own 22-yard line and decided to go for it on fourth and two from the 30 but were stuffed, turning the ball over on downs. Hoskins took a keeper to the 10-yard line as the first quarter ended, and on the first play of the second quarter connected with Boomer for a touchdown. Hoskins’s extra point was good, giving the Mooks a 21-0 lead seconds into the second quarter. Tillamook’s defense stepped up the pressure on the next two Mustang possessions, with first Antonio Ferreira then Boomer picking off Milwaukie pass attempts. After Ferreira’s pick set the Mooks up at the Milwaukie 15, Hoskins threw a jump ball up for Boomer in the endzone, where he and a Mustang defender both grabbed the ball, but possession and a touchdown went to the receiver. Tillamook went for two points but fell short, leaving the lead 27-0 with 11:09 left in the half. Following Boomer’s interception on the next Milwaukie possession, he took a 9-yard reception to the Mustang 31, before White advanced to the redzone and scored on an 11-yard rush shortly after. The Mooks again went for two, this time succeeding on a rush from Seth Wehinger and pushing the lead to 35-0 with 9:21 to go in the frame. Milwaukie’s offense

finally came to life on its next possession, marching down the field and scoring on a quarterback rush before converting a two-point conversion to cut the lead to 35-8 with just under six and a half to play in the half. Tillamook wasted little time in responding, as Boomer came up with a 54-yard reception on the first play of the drive to move Tillamook from its own redzone to Milwaukie’s 29. White found paydirt on another 11-yard rush a few plays later and another Wehinger two-point rush succeeded, extending the lead to 43-8, with 5:14 to go in the half. The Mustang offense was clicking again on its next possession and responded with another touchdown before a stuffed two-point conversion made the score 43-14 with 43 seconds left to play. But, in keeping with a season-long trend of lastminute scoring, the Mooks weren’t done for the half. Boomer fielded the Mustang kickoff near the Tillamook 20 before breaking free for a touchdown on the return. Hoskins came on for the extra-point attempt but it sailed wide, leaving the score 49-14 going into the half. The 35-point margin triggered a running clock for the second half, speeding the pace of the game up. Rieger took the opening kick of the half for a long return, before being tackled at the Milwaukie 20. Facing a third and 10 a few plays later, Hoskins notched his third touchdown of the night on a 20-yard draw. The Mooks elected not to try for a point after, taking a knee, and SEE FOOTBALL PAGE A7

Mooks volleyball takes Cowapa League Title By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

he No. 6-ranked Tillamook High Cheesemakers captured their second straight Class 4A Cowapa League volleyball championship after concluding the regular season with a 3-0 road win over the Scappoose High Indians (5-7 league, 10-10 overall) on October 16. The Cheesemakers, guided by first-year Coach Trina Goss, had a perfect 12-0 league mark and were 18-3 overall in the regular season, qualifying for the OSAA OnPoint Community Credit Union state playoffs for a 10th straight season. “I sure am proud of the girls, they’re doing really good, we were undefeated in league and we’re excited to be going to the state tournament,” said Goss. “For the most part, we’ve avoided having too many injuries and we’ve maintained the health of our team pretty well this year. Obviously, for a coach, the less injuries you have

during the season definitely makes everything better for your team.” “Winning the league championship was a big accomplishment and we’re hoping to go as far as we can at the state tournament, so we’re still working on that goal,” said Goss. “We have 11 seniors, so this season has just seen them collaborating very well together as a whole team,” said Goss. “It’s really been a unique situation with having 11 seniors and they’re all really wanting to go as far as they can in their last Tillamook High School volleyball season. I don’t know of any other school that we played against this season that has that many seniors so I feel pretty lucky to have all of them on our team.” The experienced Mooks squad that is a contender to win the state championship includes 2022 Cowapa League Player-of-the-Year Kate Klobas, Annika Norberg, McKenna Haertel, Maritza Nieves, Lexie Graves, Dannika Goss, Leeann Werner, Kylie Burden, Malli

Lewis, Savannah Crawford and Madi Dixson. “We’ve played nearly every highly ranked team in the tournament (Cascade, North Bend, Mazama), with the exception of the top two (Marist Catholic and No. 1 ranked defending champion Marshfield), so I think if we continue playing with a lot of focus, then anything is possible for us,” said Goss. “These girls have worked hard all season; they deserve to be here and kudos to all of these good athletes.” Tillamook had a fantastic league season with a total of just three set losses. The Mooks lost only 10 sets all season, tying them with the No. 2-ranked Marist Catholic High Spartans (20-2) for fewest set defeats out of 31 total 4A squads. The Mooks have won an amazing total of 25 straight Cowapa League games spanning the last three seasons. They haven’t lost a Cowapa League contest in over two years, with their last league loss coming 3-2 to the Valley Catholic High Valiants on October 19, 2021.

he Tillamook Cheesemakers volleyball team defeated the Cottage Grove Lions in a first-round, home tournament match on October 28, winning 3-1 in four games. The match was tight early, tied through two games, before Tillamook won games three and four to advance to next weekend’s tournament in Springfield, where they will play Mazama on Friday.

the score was 55-14 as eight and a half minutes ticked by in the third. Milwaukie answered with a touchdown drive of its own, trimming the lead to 55-20 as the fourth quarter began. Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson sent the starters to the bench at this point, putting Wehinger in at quarterback, where he unleashed some bruising keepers before the drive ended in a turnover on downs at Milwaukie’s 42. The Mustangs tacked another touchdown onto their total with a quick drive against the backups, giving the game its final 55-27 margin, before the Mooks entered the victory formation. With the win and wins by the Scappoose Indians and Seaside Seagulls, Tillamook finishes in a three-way tie for first place in the Cowapa League at 4-1, after winning the league outright in 2022. The Cheesemakers are the fifth-seeded team in the 16-team OSAA 4A playoff tournament and will play the Cascade High Cougars in a home game on Friday, with kickoff time yet to be announced. The winner of that matchup will advance to play the winner of a showdown between the Scappoose Indians and the Ashland Grizzlies.

Tillamook was led by seniors Kate Klobas and Dannika Goss, who repeatedly answered Lions runs and paired for a devastating attack. The first game of the match was a back-and-forth affair, with the Lions taking a 3-0 lead before Tillamook responded by tying the game. The teams traded service for an extended period, with neither team managing to build a margin. The Cheesemakers finally managed to open some

distance after the game was tied at 19, winning the match 25-20 courtesy of an unassisted spike from Goss. In the second game, Tillamook looked set to capitalize on that momentum, jumping out to a 10-1 lead early. The Lions did not buckle however, and worked to cut the lead throughout the game, trimming the margin to 11-7, then 15-14 before finally knotting the score at 24 and winning 26-24. The Lions kept the gas on in the third game, taking

a 6-0 lead to start before Tillamook regained its composure, thanks to a series of points with Goss serving, to tie the score at 8. The Cheesemakers continued their hot play, stymieing the Lions’ offense and pulling away for a 25-14 win in the game on a spike from Annika Norberg. The Cheesemakers had a handle on the match by this point and proceeded to control the fourth game. The Mooks jumped out to a 10-3 lead which they eventually

stretched to a dozen with the match winning block from Malli Lewis. The win moved Tillamook into the quarterfinals of the state tournament for the second straight year, and the Cheesemakers will face Mazama Vikings (16-6) at Springfield High School on Friday at 3:15 p.m. The Mooks lost to the Vikings 1-2 in a regular season matchup on October 14 in a tournament at Marshfield High School.

FENCEPOSTS: GARDENING MATTERS Spooky Spiders

f it’s Halloween, it’s time for my annual column about spooky things in the garden. We have discussed bats, using black and orange as decorations, making a centerpiece with little pumpkins with succulents and spiders. Spiders are always a popular column for Halloween. Not wanting to overdo the spider information, it has been a few years since I have dedicated a column to these creepy-crawlies, and I found a great new resource so back to spiders we go. Oregon Department of Agriculture has a flyer called “Oregon Spiders: Fact and Fiction” that was sent to me

GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT by fellow-Master Gardener Nika van Tilburg a couple of weeks ago. I will give the highlights in this column as well as a link to download a copy for yourself. First and most surprising to me was the fact that Oregon boasts over 500 different species of spider. That seemed like a lot to me until I realized that most of

the spiders live in woodlands and are rarely seen as they scamper to find shelter in fallen logs, under rocks and forest debris. I go back to what my mother used to say: “They are more afraid of you than you are of them.” Apparently, spider bites are truly rare. In fact, most people don’t get more than a couple in a lifetime. And these are usually when you inadvertently touch a spider, like putting your hand in a pile of wood or if a spider is sheltering in clothes when they are put on. If you don’t actually see the spider bite you, chances are that red, itchy spot is from something else. Along the spooky lines, Oregon does have the black

widow and the hobo spiders which will occasionally enter our houses. Black widow bites are dangerous and should be treated immediately, but these spiders are rarely found in northwestern Oregon. But of all the 33 spider bites recorded in all of 2014, only one was from a hobo spider and none resulted in a medical emergency. We have heard of the sinister brown recluse spider which on occasion bites people, but this species of spider is not found in Oregon. Whew. There are a few tips for keeping spiders out of the home and they include making sure your window screens are well fitted and any little cracks are sealed, including around doors and windows. Vacuum regularly and shake our clothes and towels before wearing, especially if they have been stored on a shelf or in a drawer for a while. And sweep away any spider webs from the outside of the house like under eaves or around the foundation. I found this tip to be kind of humorous as it seems the more I sweep webs away, the faster they are rebuilt. Interestingly, the orb-weaving garden spiders will eat their webs when the webs have served their purpose or

There is a lot of energy extended in building a web, as you can imagine, and by eating the protein-rich silk, the spiders can use an amino acid to break down that silk and send it to their silk glands for re-weaving. Mother Nature amazes me sometimes. But truly, can we really eliminate spiders from our homes? My guess is no. We just have to do the best we can to ensure they are removed when we see them. I used to move any spiders I found inside to the outside until I was told “inside” spiders can’t exist for very long outside. Sadly, now I just … uh, “dispatch” them to the nether world. As for the spiders in the garden – and there are many different types of garden spiders in the state – if they are not blocking my path, I leave them alone. They do help control the insect population in our gardens. I have one spider I have watched for weeks and she is smart enough now that she weaves her webs in the tree outside my window instead of at the front door. Her web stays intact and I can still watch her catch her prey. According to the Smithsonian, the typical orb weaver spider uses her 8 legs to

web, suspended by seven guy lines that are connected dep to rocks, trees, buildings or the cow other surfaces. The spider hangs from a leaf, branch, ens joy or other object and starts pai pulling silk from its silk gland with it fourth leg. An- un other leg is used to pull out multiple strands of silk from her additional silk glands as she creates a balloon-like structure. Then she waits for a gentle breeze that will take M up the “balloon” and carries fu away her first line of silk. Very patiently she builds her No web from that first line of silk into an architecturally perfect trap. Take the time to investigate the intricacies of bec a spider web and you will be Co amazed, too. Ha The whole web-weaving in process is very interestwa ing and more details can and be found at: https://www. par smithsonianmag.com/ Iw smithsonian-institution/ask- tha smithsonian-how-do-spiders- rur make-webs-180957426/. to For the “Facts and Fiction” had publication about our Oregon and spiders, visit www.oregon. gov/oda/shared/Documents/ tim

No one reached out to the 2008 Ford Leadership class that placed the three Cow sculptures throughout Tillamook County in 2010. The Ford Leadership class set up

contracts with the artists who built the cow structures to repair them as needed. Was the TCTD Board of Directors even aware the “Cowch” was removed?

The Ford Foundation Leadership classes always put together a benefit for their communities where they live. The 2008 leadership class knew that MiltonFreewater decorated their city with frogs which gave them the idea, too. They thought why not decorate our county with cows. They even went so far as to use Tufa, which is cow manure (minus all the harmful stuff) in the construction of the cows. One of the artists was Jenny Wyss and her art class at Tillamook High School. Also involved were the Ford Institute committee members, and commissioned artists Christine Harrison and Heidi Clemens of Netarts to create the personality cows. The northern cow started out in Nehalem and then made its way down to Rockaway Beach after placement visits to Neahkahnie High School and Junior High School. The southern cow went to the Cedar Creek Childcare Center and the Nestucca Rural Fire District in Hebo. You used to be able to see it as you traveled south on Highway 101 and looked to the fire station on the right-hand side before you got to Hebo. You’d see a very colorful cow!

Transit & Visitor Center in downtown Tillamook. It was an immediate hit. There was a contest to pick the best art from students across Tillamook County. Students had been for asked to provide the art that displayed Tillamook cows and places in Tillamook County. One of my favorite memories is being in town near the Transit & Visitor Center Vo le to witness a motorcycle with two people driving by the “Cowch” on 2nd Street. They then made an abrupt Uturn and pulled up in front of op the “Cowch.” They quickly sat on the Cowch and took NC op several pictures together. The visitors asked if I would take a photo of them together No and I did!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Meat Industry More Scary than Zombies

ear Editor, I have no fear of zombies, witches, or evil clowns lurking on Halloween. What really scares me is the meat industry. This is the industry that deprives, mutilates, cages, then butchers billions of cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens - animals who feel joy, affection, sadness, and pain, as we do, that exposes undocumented workers to

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

chronic workplace injuries at below living wage and exploits farmers and ranchers by dictating market prices. The industry that contributes more to our epidemic of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer than any other, then bullies health authorities to remove health warnings from dietary guidelines. An industry that sanctions world hunger by feeding nutritious corn and soybeans to animals, instead of people. The industry that generates more water pollution than all other human activities,

that spews more greenhouse gasses than all transportation, that destroys more wildlife habitats than all other industries. Fortunately, my local supermarket offers a wide variety of plant-based meats, milks, cheeses, and ice creams, as well as a colorful array of fresh fruits and veggies. And sales of plantbased foods are growing each year. Nothing here to fear. Sincerely, Tate Harringer Tillamook

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Maintain NCRD funding in November

fter moving to Manzanita in 2004, I became aware of the North County Recreation District. Having raised my children in the suburbs of Portland, I was familiar with the benefits and taxation associated with parks and recreation districts. I was quite delighted to learn that the kiddos in this small rural area had opportunity to benefit as my children had through swim, soccer, and basketball programs. As time went on, I learned that

NCRD offered much more. I’ve attended performances, art shows, some yoga sessions and other classes, community meetings, and have rented meeting spaces. How many small rural communities can provide such a benefit to its visitors and residents? Long before NCRD was formed, in 1930, the community cast their votes in support of funding that built and maintained the swimming pool. Voters decided in 1996 to establish the tax base to fund facility maintenance and program support. decided in 1996 to establish the tax base to fund facil-

ity maintenance and program support. This election is about funding and keeping this important community asset in operation at the same property tax rate we are already paying. NCRD is part of the community fabric, including our economy, through its programs, services, staff, board of directors and the many members and visitors. Please join me in keeping this legacy alive by voting YES for the renewal of the NCRD tax levy. Debbie Moberly Nehalem

ear Friends, My name is India Downes-Le Guin, and I enthusiastically support the renewal of the 5-year levy for general operations of the North County Recreation District that will be on the ballot this November. Since I moved here a year ago, NCRD has quickly become vital to my well-being.

I started attending classes at the encouragement of my good friend Jenna Edginton. I came to my first class for a good workout, and I have kept on coming back for the community (and bigger biceps). NCRD provides an accessible range of offerings and—perhaps my favorite part—cross-generational connections. It is so special and inspiring to take classes with people of all ages, and the programs offered for our youth are sorely needed.

I strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in practices that make them feel like their best selves. NCRD is an incredible asset to our rural community and I look forward to supporting it in any way I can. I am looking forward to voting yes for NCRD in November. I hope you will join me. India Downes-Le Guin Nehalem

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Support NCRD’s amazing facility

i North Coast Citizens, Please vote yes for NCRD. What we are voting for: Day care for kids, upkeep for Rex champ BallField,

our pickle ball courts, our Performing Arts Center, our Fitness Center, the Aquatics Program for kids and seniors (not for the new pool construction), and the space for a multitude of other activities and services. A misconception is that a yes vote will increase taxes, it will not! The

tax rate remains the same. The tax rate is exactly what it was 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Yes is a vote for all of the above and operational costs. Please support an amazing facility. Michelle Vinciguerra Nehalem Resident

yes vote will enable NCRD to continue operating at its current level. Why should we want NCRD to continue its current operations? • NCRD is the hub of our North County communities. • NCRD provides kids numerous experiences, including after-school care, youth sports, summer camp, arts and crafts, the school swim program, family swim, and special events for all ages. • NCRD provides a fitness center for working out, and

love NCRD. That’s why I’m urging you to Vote Yes on the upcoming renewal of its 5-year tax Levy. From the moment I walked into the doors of NCRD, I felt welcomed, included, and supported! My passion for fitness led me to join the center, but it’s been the members, staff, and the variety of programs, that have kept me coming! The fitness and yoga instructors are top notch, and the classes offered are inclusive of all abilities, whether you’re young or wizened. In addition to the classes and the fitness center, I’ve attended a number of fund raising and social events in the gym and in the various rooms that can be rented and used by the community. One

fitness classes and programs such as, yoga, group strength for seniors, Tai Chi, etc. • NCRD has a state-of-theart Performing Arts Center offering musical events, live theatre, and other special events. • NCRD provides aquatics classes and programs for all ages, including adult aqua aerobics, aqua yoga, lap swimming, water walking, etc. • NCRD sponsors special events, such as, art shows, craft shows, speakers, etc. • NCRD staff and teachers are part of our community and are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

of the attractions that draws me down the hall, is the art that adorns the walls of the Fireside Room and the art gallery. The art is by local artists, and when the items are for sale, some or all of the proceeds benefit local programs or communities, so it’s a win-win. Another program that impressed me, and that I volunteer at, is the before and after school program, Playcare. Angie and her team, assure a safe, well-supervised, stimulating environment, for the children attending. This important program is offered at a fair price and there are scholarships for those families that need assistance. As a single mom, I know how much a program such as this, was a life saver when I was raising my daughters. While my participation and use of programs

at NCRD has been limited to my personal interests, I’m very much aware of the Aquatics programs, the preschool program that uses the space, and the many other services and programs that are offered at NCRD. I’m proud to be a member of this organization that provides so much to the community! Connection, Community, and Inclusivity are at the heart of this center. Vote yes for NCRD. No increase in taxes to you, and none of this goes to the funding of the new pool. This levy will assure that all programs, services, and operational costs can be covered. How has NCRD been part of your life and those around you? Let’s keep it going. Debbie Curley Member, Volunteer, Friend of NCRD

Support for NCRD from a newcomer

here are so many compelling reasons to Vote yes for NCRD in November. The previously posted letters have outlined the many reasons why a Yes vote benefits the community. I speak as a newcomer. I first came to Nehalem on Memorial Day 2019 to shop at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Granny’s Attic sale. I returned to go to a service in June. I was invited to lunch, met folks who were kind, welcoming and I began looking for ways to move out of the STR I had in Tillamook where I had been tutoring a young boy. I had been 12 months on the road, having a personal odyssey from my life in Maryland. I was tired, lost and literally without a home. I had been pet sitting and tutoring on Zoom. All I knew was that 28 years of being a wife,

the exercise opportunities including a pool to art shows and community meetings it has been the beacon of community involvement we were hoping to find. Let’s not forget our updated and upgraded theater. I have had the privilege to act in multiple

plays and have formed some friendships which will be lifelong. I could not think of a better use of our funds than to help keep our NCRD the shining star that it is. Vote yes. Sincerely, Michael Sommers

Vote yes on November 7 for the 5-year renewable operating levy. The levy will be used to continue to support NCRD’s daily operations, maintenance, classes, activities, and programs. The operating-levy rate on the ballot is the same rate NCRD has had for the last fifteen years. Our levy rate will not go up with a Yes vote, and this levy will not be used for the new pool which will be funded by a Capital Campaign and timber tax revenue. Please vote “Yes” for NCRD. Barbara Scott-Brier Manzanita

soccer mom, homeowner and teacher in Maryland had ended. The folks at NBUMC were quick to tell me about NCRD. I am sure it was Jane Knapp who told me to check it out. Next, Jennie Meyers who invited me to a swim class she took in the morning. Before I knew it, I had found a yoga class on the schedule. I had been practicing yoga for about 10 years at that point. Actually, yoga and thrift sales were the only constants in my life before I landed in Nehalem. The first yoga class I took was with Liz Carroll. She held an exceptionally wonderful class. Liz greeted me warmly and after I told her a quick version of why I was there, she offered to help me find a rental. It was her caring that kept me coming back. I had practiced yoga in all the places I visited on my journey and not once had someone greeted me with

such care and concern. To this day, attending Liz Carroll’s Restorative yoga class is a treat I give myself every week. When I took to the road again, in a travel trailer during COVID, I took her class on Zoom and did it on the single bed in my trailer. I also love deep water swim, Tai Chi with Juli Stratton and Friday morning Very Gentle Yoga with Lucy Brook. Quite frankly I have never had one class at NCRD that wasn’t outstanding. NCRD is more than a building or even an organization. It is the place of employment of so many folks I have come to really enjoy seeing in action. It is also where I get to watch my talented neighbors perform in excellent community theater. Will I vote yes? I will. I know the value it has brought to my life. I want to see it continue to be a place for recreation and connection for the entire community. Janine Seadler

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ello Community, For 42 years, I have participated as a volunteer, instructor, and member. I have enjoyed lap swimming, teaching aqua aerobics and life guarding. I was a volunteer for the newly formed Nehalem Bay Center gym. I was on the 20-year Vision Plan Committee in the 90’s and am currently on the budget committee. I have participated in children’s events, gym, yoga and fitness classes. This gives me the unique

Jacob Torres

perspective of someone who has been involved for an extended period. I have seen the facility go through many changes, from under the direction of the school district to TBCC to the Nehalem Bay Center, and finally NCRD. I’ve been impressed with the board’s determination and ability to show growth. Along with this growth comes rising costs. Yet despite rising costs, the tax levy on the November ballot remains as it was 15 years ago. A final note: Because I support the tax levy, does NOT mean I disregard oth-

ers whose experiences have gone poorly. I have no doubt there have been some valid concerns over the years. With any organization, there are failings. We are human – humans are imperfect- -we can learn from our mistakes. Do we strip down an organization valued and utilized by so many? No, we move forward, learn from those mistakes and rectify to the best of our ability. Vote yes on the 5-year Optional Tax Levy for General Operations for NCRD.

t 10:19 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19, we were visiting our neighbors Sue Beckman and Ann Kanyid when The Big One hit. As instructed, we dropped, covered and held for three minutes while the ground shook. Brad and Arla Ayers arrived to join us within another couple of minutes, followed by Kathy Burke, Carolyn Ollikainen, and Patti and Mike Smith. Adding in the two repairmen at Sue and Ann’s house, we had a total of 12 individuals who survived the earthquake and tsunami in the drill at the 3rd St. NW assembly site. The rest of those in the Seaview neighborhood? Swept away in the tsunami that hit 12 minutes after the earth stopped shaking. There were four other assembly sites in Cape Meares with a turnout of 26 individuals, making a grand total of 38 people participating in this important practice run in Cape Meares. Weekly yoga classes have begun at the Barbara Bennett Community Center. Cape Meares resident Stacy Mason has organized these live-streamed sessions, taking place on Tuesdays from 9-10 a.m. Bring a mat and, if you wish, a blanket and blocks.

visited Farmer Creek Gardens with my roommate Leo last weekend. Besides dozens of pumpkins and gourds, we found artfully displayed home and garden decor and gifts, a nice selection of dahlias for a dollar a stem and freshly canned zucchini relish. Everything was labeled with tags on baker’s twine, and there were cheerful little signs that answered any questions that came to mind. I was sad to read that theft has been a problem, so the Porters have installed security cameras around the space, which accepts payment on the honor system. They’re located across from the Farmer Creek Wayside, a little more than a mile north of Hebo on U.S. Highway 101. We each selected a pumpkin. Leo’s is an aqua blue beauty named “Blue Doll;” mine is classically round and orange. We have plans to carve them in time for Halloween, which is publication day for this installment of the Fencepost, on Tuesday, October 31. They’ll welcome Trick-or-Treaters that evening, the first to tromp up my new porch steps in costume. I plan to roast pumpkin seeds, it’s simple.

If they are satisfactorily crispy, they’re done; if not, continue baking and checking. Speaking of home-based enterprise, our Parkway drive neighbor, Jacob Trent, has a sizable wood carving underway. The log was hoisted from its falling place to the workspace in front of Jake’s carport by Sherwin Jones last Sunday. My neighbor was a session or two in with his chainsaw before our guesses at its finished state morphed from “A totem pole, for sure,” to “Wow, I think it’s Big Foot.” The project is in progress near the intersection of Bridge Street and Parkway Drive in Cloverdale if you care to check it out.

he second Community and Destination Planning Workshop with Nan Devlin of the Tillamook County Visitors Association on October 23 was the most exciting and best-attended yet. Attendees included a half-dozen or more members of city government, but more importantly, a good 15 or more residents who came to weigh in with their visions for Rockaway’s future. For this workshop, Devlin had organized the topics from the previous brainstorming session into ten categories: outdoor recreation, community development, sustainability, emergency preparedness, business development, tourism and cultural development, accessibility, livability, enforcement and infrastructure. Each of these had a list of possible projects that had been suggested at the previous session. One consistent thread was the importance of balance between preserving what we love about Rockaway Beach while improving some aspects for residents and visitors alike. For example, suggestions for enhancing Phyllis Baker Park included talk of preserving the forest and wetlands to the north of the existing park boundary, with something similar to the boardwalk at the old cedar preserve at the south part of town. Another issue was the difficulty in accessing our seven miles of beach for people with mobility issues. Mayor Charles McNeilly told the group that the city has the permits required for building ramps and stairs at the Wayside, with construction set to begin in spring. This will be a great benefit for those who enjoy a walk on our seven miles of beach, but who find it difficult to clamber down the riprap to get there. One popular topic: the

ROCKAWAY BEACH SCOTT FISHER sfisher71@yahoo.com Dark Skies initiative as a way to draw winter visitors. This initiative looks to focus outdoor lighting downwards, where it is needed for safety and illumination of walkways and streets, while reducing the amount of light shining upward. One additional benefit: our stretch of the ocean is known for bioluminescence—the glow from myriad microorganisms shining in the surf. Reducing light from the city will enhance our ability to enjoy this. Light pollution, as it’s sometimes called, has negative effects on wildlife populations as well as on human appreciation of our natural beauty. The Tillamook People’s Utility District has solutions for streetlights, but public decisions are required before implementing them. It was pointed out that the city of Manzanita already has requirements for short-term rentals to install downwardfacing lights in support of this, so the transition is well understood at a civic level. Another recurrent theme addressed our popular summer festivals, with a special focus on the Pirate Festival. Originally scheduled for a return last summer, this festival had to be cancelled because the insurance requirements more than doubled. The problem: black-powder cannons present risks that insurers find expensive. But the popularity of pirates at the Wayside, as in

years past, suggest that some of the TLT dollars from this program might help make their return more affordable. If this is something you’d like to see, plan to attend the next meeting, November 13. That meeting, says Devlin, will “take a deeper dive into what each project is, why we want it, who will lead it, how it will be done and where the money will come from.” Perhaps the most-discussed category involved tourism and cultural development. In particular, there is widespread popular support for preserving Rockaway’s historic buildings, while also supporting a civic beautification project to enhance the city’s appeal. Historic murals, a local history center, and walking guides all came up as ways of encouraging these activities. Emergency preparedness also came up, with acknowledgement to Captain Geoff Grace and Chief Todd Hesse for their work to promote this. One crucial aspect: our cell tower’s generator no longer functions, and as we’ve all experienced, the battery backup lasts only three hours before all cell communications cease. Mayor McNeilly has contacted State Senator Suzanne Weber to request assistance at the state level, but encouraged residents to ask her to apply more leverage to speed the process. Senator Weber’s email address is Sen.SuzanneWeber@oregonlegislature. gov. If you can, write to her and mention how important a functioning cell tower is in an emergency. Not only does the present situation risk cutting us off from the outside world, but it also limits communication within the city itself.

My thumb was still on my iPhone’s red “end call” button when Cheryl Gierga’s number popped up as an incoming call. The amazing thing about Tommy White was that his soul was a throwback to yesteryears. His work ethic, discipline, and respect for elders was the kind of stuff they use on military recruiting posters. If I’m really, really lucky, the way Tommy hurried out of the waiter’s area at the Bistro to tell us news or popped out from Crab Rock to have a chat will be what it’ll be like to have conversations with my son at Tommy’s age. But who am I kidding? Tommy and I never butted heads like my son and I likely will. Gatdamn, Tommy. I’m going to miss the Hell out of your infectious joy. There’s a GoFundMe page to help Tommy’s household: his mother, Cheryl Gierga, and identical twin Robby White. I confirmed its legitimacy with Cheryl. Here is the link: https://www.gofundme. com/f/missing-tommy-allen-

GARIBALDI NATHAN “FINN” FINDLING finn@natfinn.com white Firstly, to Garibaldi Fire & Rescue, TCSO, and editor Chappell. I thank you all so much. A special shoutout to Chibi Teriyaki food truck and their neighbors at Under the Big G for feeding the Giergas early and often and offering other tokens of support from the moment they were asked about their security camera footage. Here is a link to Chibi Teriyaki’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook. com/garibaldichibiteriyaki/ Shoutouts to the many other residents and businesses throughout Tillamook County who have helped keep the Giergas going. If eventually, the Giergas experience a grief-free pocket of lucidity, I’ll see if we can compile a bigger list of those Samaritans. To lend support to the Giergas, please call Cheryl at 503-300-8033. “Life is short, but sweet, for certain.” – David J. Matthews She was the final test to make sure the twins’ new nanny was going to be a good fit. She’s everybody’s favorite local librarian, June Ekborg: “Trick or Treaters are invited to stop by the library for treats for Halloween. The library will be open until 6 p.m. tonight. “We are holding another Open Practice Chess Tournament on Saturday, November 18th, starting at 9 a.m. in the

Garibaldi Community Hall. Open Practice Tournaments are open to all ages and skill levels. Everyone can play. “Mark your calendars for a very special Fire Fighter Storytime at Garibaldi Branch Library. This Saturday, November 4th, at 11 a.m., meet the firefighters and learn about what they do. Regular story times will be canceled Friday, November 3rd.” Lastly, the hardest part at this stage of volunteering with the city is wanting to do everything we’ve been wanting to do for the last 14 months, and do it all in one meeting. Back to that Tom Petty song and that “wai-aiting,” but waiting in a queue as opposed for waiting for production to restart. That in and of itself is promising. The mayor and her council, and I and my fellow commissioners are still learning the ins and outs of working with the new staff. Like, for starters, we didn’t have printed agendas at the last commission meeting because of a “Who’s on first?” moment that has since been sorted out. But, otherwise, it’s becoming a sense of relief, as if the corner is finally starting to turn. P.S. – A proper shoutout to Laurie Wandell for getting the Coast Guard City Designation application into the red zone, where a combination of Port Manager Saindon & Mayor Findling could punch it through for the score. There’s a well-documented feuding aspect to all this, but in the end what’s important is that since 1908, U.S. Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay has been the linchpin which has kept this fishing village’s seafaring activities – from fishing to logging to logistics - viable and, more importantly, safe. In the end, that it was done SEE FINN PAGE A12

People who are grieving may feel a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness and confusion. They may also experience physical symptoms, such as fatigue, changes in appetite and difficulty sleeping. If you or someone you know is struggling with difficult and unexpected emotions from shock, anger, disbelief, guilt and sadness from grief, please consider joining this support program.

Two Scholarships Awarded for TBCC’s Nature & Outdoors program I

n early 2023, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association established two $1,000 scholarships through the Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation. The scholarships support students enrolled in TBCC’s Nature & Outdoors program. On Friday, October 20, 2023, students who received scholarships from the foundation were celebrated at the Mildred Davey Scholarship Foundation Luncheon at the Officer’s Mess at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Among them were the first two recipients of the TCVA scholarships, Jenn Holler and Zoey Floodman, who each received $1,000 from TCVA to further

their studies. “Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is proud to support TBCC and these students,” said Dan Haag, TCVA’s Trails & Outdoor Recreation Director.

Floodman is looking forward to a career in forestry. “This scholarship will help me be able to pay for school while working and taking classes,” Holler says. “Thank you for helping me pursue my passions.” “It’s exciting to play a small part in helping create the next generation of outdoor stewards,” says Haag.

Jim and Bertha Coon. He was a member of Boy Scout Troop 574 and competed on a bowling league. As a teenager, Mike worked on a dairy farm and spent summers in Pacific City on his Grandpa Coon’s commercial fishing dory and also worked as a Cheesemaker at the Tillamook County Creamery. He then moved on to work for Crown Zellerbach where he spent a short time as a choker setter before driving dump truck and log truck for them. When Crown Zellerbach shut down, Mike drove for Ken Zwald hauling milk a short time before hiring on at the Tillamook County Creamery. In the beginning he hauled milk from various farms around Tillamook County and then moved to long haul delivering cheese to several outlets around the Pacific Northwest, including Missoula, Montana and Salt Lake City, Utah. He loved long hauling, looking at the scenery and wildlife, and though he excelled in the skill of driving in the snow, it was not his favorite thing to do. When he retired in September 2014, he had clocked

millions of miles with only one accident (not of his own doing) on his record. Mike met the love of his life, Rosemary Diane Steiber (Rose), in High School, and they married at the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene on July 6, 1974. They went on to raise two daughters and enjoyed many adventures as a family. Many of his favorite memories included camping in various places and hunting in Eastern Oregon, and later getting to include the grandchildren in those same adventures. He was very proud of his grandchildren and was always interested in hearing about their latest activities. His character was shaped by outdoor enthusiasts, so he spent many pleasurable moments fishing, hunting and cutting wood. He had a special love for bird dogs and raised a few that were the envy of his hunting buddies. He also raised pheasants, chukars and quail. After retirement he enjoyed raising a large garden and expressed the benefits of growing your own food to his kids and grandkids. He was an avid

reader with particular interest in history and war and was known for reciting random facts on many subjects, especially in these two areas. Mike will be missed by many. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Rose Harris; daughters Jerilee Blaser (Brent), Christine Arthur (Brian); grandchildren Brynnen, Bridger, Aubrey, Easton; his mother JoAnn Harris; siblings Debbie Harris (Hank), Denise (Jay) Lane, Dorene Harris Davalos, Dana Harris, Bob (Mary Ann) Dye, Kathie (John) Ordal and numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Floyd Harris, sister Diane Snipes and brother Rob Harris. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Tillamook High School Trap Team Tillamook High School 2605 12th Street Tillamook, OR 97141 A private interment was previously held, and a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

We have this theater right here in town and a lot of people don’t even know that it’s here,” Harper said. “There’s nothing like live theater because no two shows are alike. This would be a really nice show for people to come with their

family members. It may spark discussions for people and [cause them to] think differently about their families and aging parents and grandparents. This show is funny; it’s heartwarming; it’s the perfect entrance to the holiday season.” To honor veterans on Veterans Day (Nov. 11), complimentary beverages will be given to those who have served.

“I know you’ve all been waiting for the perfect one, and here I am! They call me Persephone after the Greek goddess of spring. Pho for short. In my earliest pictures, I looked kinda pink, but I finally decided on being a very, very pale grey, and I must say, it really suits me. I’m a sweet, slightly shy kitten who has the very reasonable expectation that a lap be made available to me at all times, that I be carried around and called “tiny kitten,” and that I get to sleep with a human at night. My fur is as soft as a bunny, my eyes are huge, and I have dainty paws. But don’t get complacent. Persephone wasn’t just the maiden of flowers. I never learned to meow. Instead, I make a yipping sound like a little chihuahua when I want your attention. I kinda squeak when I’m talking, or I shriek like a pint-sized banshee when she doesn’t know where brother my brother Panzer is. She is the only kitten that my foster mom ever had that will be listed as “bonded.” I will need to go to a home with my brother. (But what sort of person wouldn’t want both of us?)” Applications are available from Tillamook Animal Shelter. Don’t miss out.
