County leaders encourage food bank support

With the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program set to stop providing support for those facing food insecurity on November 1, those receiving benefits are facing down a difficult situation.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar discussed the local situation at the regular board of county commissioner’s meeting on October 29, encouraging locals to support area food banks and floating the possibility of declaring a state of emergency in response to the situation.

In Tillamook County, around 5,000 residents receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, including seniors, those who are disable and low-income families with children. When the program is suspended, those residents will have to fall back on the network of eight food pantries across the county coordinated by the Oregon Food Bank, a list of which is available at oregonfoodbank.org.

Unfortunately, Skaar said that Julia Wentzel, the Oregon Food Bank’s local coordinator, had told her that local foodbanks were already operating beyond their capacity, making support from the community critical.

Skaar encouraged residents to donate money to the Oregon Food Bank or a local food bank, as they had better purchasing power and could maximize the impact of donated dollars, though said that if people had shelf-stable foods, they could also donate those. Skaar also encouraged residents to be on the lookout for pay-it forward options at local grocery stores, saying that Grocery Outlet and Chester’s were participating.

Skaar also said that Clatsop County commissioners were looking at the possibility of declaring an emergency in response to the hunger crisis, which would free up county funds to help get food to people. Skaar wondered whether Tillamook County might take a similar step and Commissioner Mary Faith Bell suggested they revisit the possibility once the suspension was in effect.

Tides of Change hosted its 15th annual Soup Bowl fundraising event at Pacific Restaurant on October 25, raising more than $20,000 to support their services to survivors of genderbased and domestic violence.

At the event, attendees were able to select one of 150 bowls donated by a group of potters from Clatsop County and enjoy an all-you-can-eat soup buffet catered by more than a dozen local restaurants and individuals. Tides of Change Executive Director Valerie Bundy thanked eventgoers for their support and said that it was critical to helping her staff continue serving those in need.

“Thank you all, it takes a community,” Bundy said. “You know, we work every day, every week, and we could not do this without all of our community partners helping do this work, without all of you showing up and supporting us.”

The Soup Bowl event began in the 2006, after the potters reached out to Tides of Change leadership about starting a fundraiser like one they helped facilitate for The Harbor, Tides of Change’s sister agency in Clatsop County. After a four-year break during the coronavirus pandemic, the event returned last year, helping to raise unrestricted funds to support the varied needs of survivors who access the agency’s services.

At this year’s event, volunteers helped 120 attendees select their hand-crafted bowl before the group dined on donated soups, breads and desserts. Downie’s Café, Pacific Restaurant, La Mexicana, The Fern, Rendezvous Restaurant & Lounge, Sand Dollar Restaurant & Lounge, Corral Grill and Taphouse, Adventist Health, Buttercup Ice Creams and Chowders, Main Street Pizza, Bunker Grille, Werner’s Beef & Brew, Current Café & Lounge, Michele Bradley and Marina Godinez prepared soups ranging from elephant orange tomato crema to navy bean and ham. Alice’s Country Kitchen, Pacific Restaurant, Sarasota’s, Wanda’s Café & Bakery, Wolf Moon Bakery and Grateful Bread contributed baked goods, while the Tillamook County Creamery Association topped dessert off with vanilla ice cream.

After dinner, Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell, who sits on Tides of Change’s board, addressed the crowd and thanked everyone for attending.

Bell then took a moment to eulogize Nancy Contolini, a former board member who passed away in September, and pay tribute to her contributions to the organization. Bell said that in addition to serving on the board, Contolini had been a tireless booster for Tides of Change, helping to organize the Soup Bowl annually, sell tickets, staff the organization’s outreach table at community events and even volunteering as a receptionist for the group.

“She was just indispensable to our board, and we miss her so much, she just left a massive void,” Bell said. “We have great board members, of course, but there’s no one who compares to Nancy Contolini.”

After leading a memorial toast to Contolini, Bell handed the microphone to Bundy who gave a brief update on the organization’s recent and upcoming activities. In the past year, Tides of Change has helped almost 600 survivors, providing more than 11,000 individual services to them, according to Bundy.

Bundy highlighted a state-supported program that allowed Tides of Change to help 24 households find new, safe living arrangements in the past year, by providing rent assistance, gas vouchers, bus tickets, utility assistance and other supportive funds. Bundy said that the program had helped 49 survivors and their children and that funding was renewed for next year.

Between that funding and other sources, Bundy said that since her arrival in 2017, funds available for survivor assistance had grown from $8,000 to $205,000 this year. Bundy said funding like this was even more critical as the organization’s federal funding is at risk after becoming a political football in President Donald Trump’s administration’s attempts to punish sanctuary cities and states.

rian Hoogendijk, 47, formerly a teacher at Nestucca High School, was found guilty of three counts of sexual abuse in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor, by a jury of six on September 25. On October 17, Hoogendijk was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years’ probation by Judge Mari Garric Trevino, who said that in contrast to glowing character references, facts presented at trial had shown Hoogendijk was guilty of “stereotypical and classic grooming behavior with the most vulnerable youth possible.” Hoogendijk, then a teacher at Nestucca High School working with students needing extra support, fell under suspicion when a student reported witnessing him making inappropriate contact with another student several years ago. An initial investigation by the school district sputtered out when the victim declined to cooperate with investigators and Hoogendijk requested a camera be installed in his classroom to show his innocence.

Tillamook County District Attorney Aubrey Olson said that the victim had been groomed and believed that she was in a consensual relationship with Hoogendijk, possibly leading to her initial reluctance to cooperate. But after the camera was installed in Hoogendijk’s classroom, the teacher’s behavior shifted, leading the victim to reach out to authorities, prompting another investigation.

That investigation culminated in Hoogendijk being charged with eight counts of sexual abuse in the third degree in January of this year, with one count alleging that Hoogendijk had touched the victim’s vaginal area, another alleging touching of the inner thigh, five counts alleging that Hoogendijk had slapped the defendant’s buttocks and one alleging that he had touched the victim with his erect penis.

Olson explained that the prosecutor in the case, Deputy District Attorney Jeremy Dietrich, had charged sexual abuse in the third degree, a misdemeanor charge, rather than sexual abuse in the first degree, a felony charge, because the latter requires that prosecutors prove a victim was under 14 years of age at the time of the crime. Olson said that the victim, who was 16 years of age at the time she reported the crime, was unable to provide detailed information about

Tillamook County Deflection program discussed at forum

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

With Tillamook County’s deflection program just over a month old, program coordinators and outside experts hosted a forum for public outreach at the Tillamook County Library Main Branch on October 23.

At the forum, Guy Farina from the Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities Center for Health and Justice discussed deflection generally before local leaders discussed Tillamook’s program.

Farina, a former police officer with a history of substance use, explained that deflection is seeking to prevent justice system involvement for those with substance use disorders by connecting them with resources to treat those disorders. Farina said that the idea behind deflection is to meet people where they are and help them recover from the disorders and prevent them from resorting to criminality because of them reducing the strain on the criminal justice system. Initial attempts at establishing a framework for deflection programs began in the mid-2010s and since then Farina said six different pathways have been developed to help put public health workers in contact with those experiencing substance use disorders instead of or in addition to law enforcement. Those pathways are self-referral, active outreach by commu-

nity health workers, offering services in conjunction with naloxone distribution, officer referral, officer intervention and community response.

Farina showed data from programs in North Carolina and Illinois that showed double digit percentage declines in both overdoses and arrests after those programs’ implementations.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar then discussed the local situation, recounting that work towards a local alternative for helping those with substance use disorders began eight years ago when the emergency department at Adventist Health Tillamook was struggling to cope with the number of people being brought by law enforcement for holds due to intoxica-

tion. In response, the county applied for and was awarded grants that helped it to plan for and establish Opioid Use Response for Tillamook County (OUR Tillamook), which helps to coordinate the public health response for those dealing with substance use disorders. While OUR Tillamook was initially a consortium of the partner agencies, the passage of House Bill 4002, recriminalizing drug possession and directing jurisdictions to set up deflection programs provided funding for the county to hire Bridgette Hess as deflection coordinator. Skaar said this represented the last piece of the puzzle, allowing OUR Tillamook to transition from relying on self-referrals through a hotline to conduct-

ing active outreach.

Tillamook Police Chief Nick Troxel, who has been leading the law-enforcement side of the deflection effort, said that Hesse had been walking around areas of downtown Tillamook with high numbers of unhoused people weekly since the program launched on September 15, and that he had joined her on several occasions. Troxel said that he had worn plain clothes on those occasions and that he was pleased with the early returns, which have included several people agreeing to assessments.

Hesse then said that she had found collaboration and communication with law enforcement and community partners to be key in her work so far and that she had

been learning about new resources every week. Tillamook County Community Health Centers are offering same-day walk-in assessments as part of the program and Hesse said that there were detox centers available in neighboring counties. Hesse said that the general shortage of treatment options in the county was challenging but that the next four years of funding provided by Measure 110 for behavioral health networks will be dedicated to building out local treatment options. Hesse said that the challenges in Tillamook were faced by rural communities across the country and that relying on faith-based and outpatient treatment options was important as further alternatives are developed.

Short Beach Trail upgraded by large volunteer effort

Will CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Nearly 100 volunteers contributed a combined 1,700 hours of work this spring, fall and summer to overhaul the path accessing Short Beach just north of Oceanside. The project was spearheaded by the Oceanside Action Partnership and Trail Keepers of Oregon (TKO), who divvied up work across 38 work sessions, with funding come from Tillamook County Public Works, who, along with the NetartsOceanside Fire District also added a rescue rope system for beach evacuations.

Progress toward the update began three years ago when the Oceanside community participated in a series of workshops with Tillamook County commissioners to discuss what was next for the village. The group decided that they wanted to follow Pacific City’s lead and create a community group to create an investment plan for the community and identify desired projects to receive county funding.

Oceanside Action Partnership’s (OAP) formation followed, and Bruce Jaeger, a member, said that a variety of projects were identified as priorities and assigned to teams including expanding cell coverage with an

additional tower, creating a shared use path between Netarts and the Cape Meares Lighthouse passing through the community, improving wayfinding signage in the town and upgrading two existing trails, the one at Short Beach and the so-called Tire Trail to its north.

Planning to upgrade the Short Beach trail began in December 2023 and funding for the project’s $76,530 budget came courtesy of Tillamook County Public Works through an allocation from the Pedestrian and Bike Fund, which receives 1% of gas tax revenues that are earmarked for projects

County adds stormwater management system to Tillamook’s east side

Will CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Flooding in the fields on the Tillamook County Fairgrounds’ east side is set to greatly reduce with the recent completion of a $1.2-million stormwater management system in the area by Tillamook County.

Triggered by a deadly flood in 2015, the project utilizes a holding tank added by Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) during the construction of their new Healthcare Education Building and is being paid for by American Recovery Plan Act dollars, according to Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity. The 2015 flood extended from the

when the abuse occurred, leaving Dietrich unable to definitively prove that she had been under 14 years of age when the abuse occurred.

“They were just not able to flesh out enough information about when this occurred,” Olson said. “It was just really vague about what grades she was in, what years those were, things like that.”

Another hurdle arose when a state court of appeals issued a ruling in a similar case weeks before trial that increased the specificity required in sexual abuse cases relating to multiple alleged instances of similar behavior, forcing Dietrich to drop four of the five charges relating to alleged butt slapping.

Following a three-day trial, at which the victim and student who originally reported Hoogendijk’s behavior testified, a six-person jury found Hoogendijk guilty on three of the four remaining counts, acquitting him on the count related to touching the victim’s vaginal area. Olson said that based on jury questions, Dietrich believed the acquittal had been based on questions about the definition of vaginal area and where exactly touching had occurred.

On October 17, Hoogendijk returned to court for sentencing in front of Trevino, with Dietrich speaking first, requesting five

The death unlocked Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding for a project to improve drainage in the area, which was officially approved in 2017.

After delays in engineering and design caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the project was permitted early this year when Laity learned that FEMA funding would no longer be available due to Kilchis House’s closure and repurposing as an apartment complex. County commissioners determined that the project was too high a priority

years’ probation and ten to 20 days in jail.

Hoogendijk’s lawyer, Matthew Lyon, argued that his client deserved a more lenient sentence of 36 months of probation with no jail time, citing his lack of previous criminal history and the fact that he still maintained his innocence. Lyon said that Hoogendijk hoped to move to Washington or Multnomah County to work as a truck driver and asked for amended sex offender terms to allow Hoogendijk to continue using a computer.

Hoogendijk then spoke on his behalf, saying that he respected the court, legal process and jury’s decision but that he did not share their conclusion. He thanked his family for their support throughout the trial and those who had written support letters, saying they had strengthened his resolve to live up to being the man their writers saw him as.

Hoogendijk argued that he had spent his life as a lawabiding, contributing member of his community, volunteering with the fire district and local food bank, that the legal case against him represented a stark departure from the norm and that he the alleged behavior was inexcusable.

“The behavior I’ve been accused of is reprehensible and I would not condone anyone participating in such behavior,” Hoogendijk said. Regaining a sense of honor and purpose is a prime concern going forward, Hoogendijk continued, saying that he wanted to redirect

3,000 feet of pipe were added around the fairgrounds and along Third Street, tying into the tank located underneath the new courtyard between TBCC’s main building and the healthcare education building. During large storm events, water will be stored there and slowly released over time, into a holding pond south of the fairgrounds.

Laity said the new system will lower the risk of water leaving the fairground property, while also removing groundwater and stormwater from the City of Tillamook’s stormwater management system.

his life to contributing to the world and needed to work on maintaining appropriate boundaries when others act inappropriately.

Following Hoogendijk’s remarks, Trevino addressed him, starting by acknowledging the difficulty of these types of cases for everybody involved from friends and families of the accused and victims to juries. Trevino said that often, the accused in cases like these are exemplary citizens in most aspects of their life and would be the last people suspected of committing sexual offenses against a child.

However, Trevino said that this was a known pattern to experts in the field, and that though reconciling the nice image Hoogendijk put forward with the crimes that people often associate with “a scary person living under a bridge” was difficult, six jurors had determined he was guilty of the crimes alleged.

Trevino also highlighted the fact that Hoogendijk’s victim had been at-risk and said that also matched a pattern in sex abuse cases, where offenders often target victims they think will be less likely to be believed at trial and whose past struggles may make them more susceptible to grooming.

Given all that, Trevino said that she was sentencing Hoogendijk to 30 days in jail and 60 months’ probation and assessing a $400 fine for each of the three counts on which he was found guilty, as well as $235 in attorney fees, and stipulated that

Hoogendijk undergo a sex offender evaluation. Trevino said that it would be up to Hoogendijk’s probation officer whether he could move out of the county and he was immediately remanded to the custody of the Tillamook County sheriff’s office for transport to the county jail.

Nestucca Superintendent Ken Richwine said that following Hoogendijk’s conviction, the district was awaiting counsel from its legal advisers and the state’s Teacher’s Standards and Practices Commission to determine whether any further action was warranted.

ICE’s agent standards

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has ignored minimum standards for recruitment and accepted hundreds of unvetted new agents into training. This includes some with criminal records, no drug screening or failed drug tests, no background checks and no fingerprinting.

According to NBC News, ICE’s human resources office, with 150,000 applicants and heavy pressure to meet Trump’s quota of 10,000 ICE officers, put recruits into training before proper standards were met, in violation of agency policy.

More than 200 recruits have already been dismissed for failing the most basic physical, academic, or ethical standards. The Atlantic reported that 33% of recruits at the Georgia ICE training facility can pass the minimal fitness test of just 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile run in under 14 minutes. “It’s pathetic,” said one career ICE official, describing what happens when standards are erased to meet a political goal.

The “One Big, Beautiful Bill”, tripled ICE’s funding to $170 billion and bankrolls this ridiculous mess. That amount is greater than the combined annual spending of every police department in this country. While ICE’s standards plummet, Trump has fired 17 inspectors general and dismantled internal oversight, leaving no mechanism to stop abuses.

ICE abuses of power are systemic mistreatment and unlawful detention, including arrest, detention and deportation of U.S. citizens, firing dangerous munitions at peaceful protesters, and threatening or brutalizing detainees and peaceful observers documenting arrests. These practices are revealed in multiple reports and lawsuits, including claims of withheld bond funds, prolonged confinement, psychological and physical harm, and widespread abuse in detention centers. Independent investigations and advocacy groups also flagged misconduct among border and ICE-affiliated officers— ranging from trafficking and bribery to sexual assault.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s shows us what effective leadership looks like — having established a new Accountability Commis-

sion that documents every instance of federal harassment, brutality, and illegal detention. Congress must do the same. We must demand immediate hearings to investigate ICE’s hiring practices, restore full vetting and training standards, and re-establish independent oversight across DHS. An armed force of under-qualified, unvetted, cruel thugs is not security, but a threat to us all.

The numbers behind Oceanside incorporation

My 38-year career in finance—including municipal work with JPMorgan Chase— has taught me that optimism is no substitute for sound numbers. I write out of concern for my friends and out of love for our community.

The petitioners of the Oceanside Village Initiative (OVI) acknowledge they are unelected and have no budget authority, yet they ask residents to support incorporation without a professional, independent financial plan. My recommendation to engage a CPA firm specializing in municipal accounting has been ignored.

OVI’s proposed budget depends heavily on transient lodging tax (TLT) revenues of about $500 000 per year, 70% of which must legally promote tourism. The county currently uses the remaining 30%—about $150,000—for local road maintenance. OVI would redirect that $150 000 to the city but spend only $95,000 ($80,000 for operations and $15,000 for reserves) on roads. According to Tillamook County’s Public Works Director, Oceanside’s roads need $2 2 million over 12 years. At OVI’s proposed spending rate, it would take 23 years—until 2048—to meet that same need.

Meanwhile, diverted road money and new city taxes would be consumed by administrative costs—management, elections, insurance, legal services, and consultants. County data show Oceanside roads require $155 000–$277 000 annually, yet OVI budgets only $95,000. Comparable Oregon cities pay about $100 000 for

a full-time city manager; OVI budgets just $69,000 for parttime “contracted administrative support,” equivalent to roughly $41 000 in salary.

OVI paints a hopeful picture but fails to address critical realities. What happens if volunteerism fades, lawsuits arise, calamity strikes, or revenues fall short? When mistakes happen— as they inevitably do—how will the city pay for recovery? The only answers are higher property taxes or new city debt.

Oceanside deserves a transparent, professional and realistic financial plan—based on real numbers, not wishful thinking.

What the shutdown is really about

It is cost of health care for middle income persons. Middle Income and above persons many with three figure incomes have been receiving subsidies for the cost of - Obamacare.

DOGE cut all subsidies from the government that help pay for Obamacare for

those whose annual premiums are more than 8.5% of their annual income- those could qualify for a subsidyproviding other qualifications are met. But the subsidies have been cut by DOGE, and the Democrats want them back. 4.8 million middle class persons are now receiving subsidies for Obamacare. It isn’t about the “poor” this time. It is about “us” middle income people. This whole problem is caused by our government refusing to deal with the rising, always rising, cost of healthcare. Seriously - the whole entire US legislature does not want to deal with this problem and so they let it get to this point. They take a lot of money from lobbyists and so they just let this festering problem sit there. And

then it comes to this while those in real poverty suffer. Blame the Democrats. Blame the Republicans. Those in the legislature have great health care benefits.

Everybody runs for office with promises of “Medicare for All” Obama did. And lots of others too. But then once they get into office - they don’t do anything about it. The only thing the affordable care act did that had any benefit was to get rid of “preexisting” conditions in health care plans.

Both Republicans and Democrats in our US legislature are to blame.

OPINION

The last weekend in October brought strong winds and driving rain. We clocked a wind gust of 39 mph, and water in our rain gauge rose to 3.5 inches. We had company that weekend and were so relieved that the power stayed on…until about 30 minutes after that couple left. The electricity went off at 3:48 p.m. on October 26 and came back on at 6:18 p.m. the same day. The Tillamook PUD had a crew on it immediately, replacing a damaged jumper and installing a new transformer, and we were pleased to have the lights come on again after such a short time—on a Sunday, no less. Thank you, intrepid PUD workers. Despite the stormy weather, the Fifth Street Salmon Derby held its awards banquet in the Barbara Bennett Community Center on Saturday, October 25.

Many readers out there know that I am originally from England, coming to the USA in 1974. While I enjoy all the American traditions and holidays, there are certain English holidays that I miss and thought it would be fun to share one. Bonfire Night, or more accurately, Guy Fawkes night, takes place on the 5th of November and commemorates the gunpowder plot of 1605, when a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James 1. Guy Fawkes was a member of the gang, and he was guarding the gunpowder when he was caught. Prior to the fifth of November, children create a fake Guy Fawkes, using old clothes they stuff with a newspaper or straw, and they go around the villages raising money to buy themselves fireworks. The night of the fifth, bonfires are lit through-

out the land, people gather for cider, baked potatoes and other treats, fireworks and then the fake Guy’s are thrown on the fire. Children chant “Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot.” A long-standing tradition and always a terrific evening.

Mayor Liane welch wants to remind residents that the Ad Montgomery Hall, located behind the library and city hall, will become an emergency resource center if we lose power for more than 12 hours during storms. The center will be open and manned by volunteers, open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The generator will be fired up, and people will be able to get a hot cup of tea or coffee, charge their phones and gather information on storm effects. This center will not act as a shelter but will be a place of contact and support, and community.

AREAS WE SERVE & SUPPORT

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is located on the Oregon Coast. We serve a 125 square mile area of the coast located between Tillamook and Lincoln City.

Leona “Lee” Grace Kellow, daughter of Lloyd and Nora Kellow, left us on Sunday October 19, 2025 to go swing dancing to a live band on a dance floor full of twirls, spins, dips and laughter. Her passing was peaceful with her children and grandchildren caring for and supporting her. Lee told everyone she met that she was lucky to have lived a long and wonderful life full of love, travel and work and that she was blessed with a large and amazing family from top to bottom. Lee was born in Woodburn on December 29, 1932 as the fifth of what would be seven Kellow children. The family was most comfortable on the Oregon Coast and soon moved back to settle on the Kellow homestead in Oretown. Although life on the homestead was hard work, Lee could talk for hours about the fun that was had playing on the farm and helping with the many family chores. Lee attended very small one-room grade schools in Oretown and then near Cloverdale when the family moved from Oretown to a dairy and mink farm in Pacific City. Lee was a dreamer and achiever and was always ready to take on new challenges so she was excited to shift from grade school to Nestucca Union High School where she thrived. During her senior year a “handsome new boy from Eugene” enrolled at Nestucca and Lee had found her future husband, Ken Loretz. Lee and Ken were married after she attended a glorious year at the University of Oregon. They raised a family and lived in Bend, Salem and Pacific City. Lee loved to work and enjoyed working part time in schools while her three children were young. She embarked on a career with the U.S. Forest Service in 1970 that kept her challenged and engaged in work she loved until her retirement. She held management positions in Ranger Stations in Hebo, Bear Springs, Gresham, Sisters and Estacada. After retiring from the Forest Service Lee returned to Woodburn and

looked for opportunities to continue working and being involved in the community. She took a teaching assistant position at French Prairie Middle School and worked with others to coordinate adult education classes at Chemeketa Community College and educational field trips for the Senior Estates Community. Lee loved movies, concerts and plays and worked for years as a volunteer usher at Portland venues “to see great entertainment for free!” Exercise was a routine for Lee who could be seen walking the many streets of the Senior Estates or engaged in the social fun of yoga groups.

Our mother was a small town girl but she had big dreams and a desire to travel and see new places. She proudly boasted traveling to 33 countries and visiting 38 states. Her last major trip was to Churchill Downs race track in Kentucky. Mom loved watching horse races and the associated fanfare and never missed a Kentucky Derby.

Lee was a proud, engaged and downright fun mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was always game for activities and loved being the center of attention and fun. She was also proud to be “Aunt Lee” to 21 nieces and nephews. She is survived by her three children, Mike (Kathy) Loretz, Bev (Frank) Yesmant, and Cindy Ashley, her six grandchildren; Dan (Candace), Melissa, Alex (Claire), Taylor, Ian, and Calvin, and four great grandchildren Jack, Tori, Sam and Livia. She was preceded in death by her amazing brothers Howard, Forest and Merle and her beloved sisters Dorothy, Lois and Glenda.

Our mother always put her children and her family first. Education was precious to her and she never missed a graduation of a family member. No matter what activity we did our mom was in the stands, on the sidelines or in the audience supporting us, and yes, we could hear her. We hope that mom’s strength and energized spirit has rejoined her beloved family and that she can now be on a lively dance floor dancing as often and as long as she wants.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Lee on Saturday, December 6th beginning at 1:00 p.m. at The Senior Estates Golf and Country Club Auditorium at 1776 Country Club Road in Woodburn.

education, and community collaborations. Their web page indicates they have an emergency shelter for victims of abuse. They also offer counselling free of charge. This event is an annual fund raiser for their activities. Tides of Change certainly have found a way to create a fun evening while raising money for their cause.

This was the first time I participated, and there were so many soups to choose from. You could try them all

The long-awaited opening of Pelican Brewing’s Rockaway Beach location has proven popular with locals and visitors alike. With a standing-room-only crowd on opening night, October 17, the location has remained busy since.

Situated in the former Rockaway Roastery location at 165 S. Miller, the building previously had limited kitchen space, suitable for the Roastery’s

- there were twenty different soups. Restaurants throughout Tillamook County, including the Pacific Restaurant who hosted the event, donated the soups, breads, and desserts. Soup varieties included gluten free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian and regular soups. The pizza soup and the African Chicken Peanut soup were two of the interesting choices. My favorite was the Gingered Butternut Squash soup. The handmade bowls were beautiful. One of the principal potters spoke about

small menu, but a lengthy renovation has added usable kitchen space as well as the all-important taps. I started with Tillamook Fried Cheese Curds ($14.99 at dinner, reduced price and portion for happy hour 3 - 6 p.m.). Fresh cheese curds from the Tillamook Creamery receive a light breadcrumb batter, which gives a crunchy structure to the chewy goodness inside. They’re served with Kiwanda aioli,

the creation of these bowls; there are close to a dozen potters involved, and it takes them a year to complete the task of creating all those bowls. They are all the same shaped bowl, but with different finishes. A nice hefty bowl, handmade, great for soups or for collecting. This will have to become an annual event for me. A collection consists of three things. One soup bowl will not do. This week I had an opportunity to drive around the city at night. Many of you have gotten into the spirit of the season. Up on the hill, there were lights. All around town there were ghosts and spiders and webs and skeletons; owls and pumpkins – lots of pumpkins. It reminded me of times when the city had contests for best home decorated at this time of year. I thank all of you for helping to make Halloween a holiday for me. I love your decorations.

I was chatting with our former mayor, Tim Hall, who was remembering when the city pulled together to help Coast Guard families during the 2019 federal government shut down. Tim organized the donation of Fred Meyer gift certificates from our residents that were given to our Coast Guard families. We both hope that there isn’t time to try to do that again and the government will open soon. While it is a federal government shut down, it is hitting our community here, 2,885 miles from Washington D.C. The National Tax-Aide program is gearing up for the upcoming tax season. The first Oregon state meeting will be held next week. I expect we will hear from both the IRS and the State Department of Revenue about any changes to the tax law for the filing season. For those of you who may want or need tax services, the Tillamook

County Library hosts the program on Thursday and Fridays by appointment during the season (February to mid-April). The library staff start taking appointments beginning in January. These services are provided by several trained and dedicated volunteers and are free to you. We are always looking for volunteers, so if you have the inclination, give me a call. I had to check in on those baby salmon at the Garibaldi Library. When I first saw the tank, I thought it was empty. But low and behold, the babies (alevins) were hiding behind the rocks and along the bottom of the tank, on the gravel. In this stage, the egg sack is still attached to those little fish bodies. Soon that sack will be gone and these babies will look more like salmon.

This is what everyone’s favorite librarian had to share with us this week:

“The Alevins (newly hatched salmon) at the Bay City and Garibaldi Branch Libraries are growing and getting more active. Children had fun naming the fish at last Thursday’s story time in Bay City. What are some good names for salmon?

“If you have been tracking the tank information, you will notice that the water temperature of the Garibaldi tank is lower than it has been. Did you know that growth rate can be impacted by water temperature? Salmon grow slower in colder water and faster in warmer water. If temperature changes are too drastic, the fish can perish. Temperatures above 65 degrees Fahrenheit are lethal.

“Here’s what’s happening in the Garibaldi tank today: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ aMZHnEigPDwwGLxh6 “

Thanks, June. Now I can watch the tank from home!

a creamy herb dip that works well with the curds. Their chicken wings ($18.99 dinner, $9.99

happy hour) are lovely, with a crisp skin over tender meat. Sauce choices include BBQ or traditional Buffalo. We stuck with the Buffalo, which has a good spice to it and doesn’t completely smother the wings. And naturally, there’s ranch dip to help soothe the burn.

Soup and salad options include a kale harvest salad, and a Caesar salad ($12.49 each) of baby kale leaves topped with Caesar

dressing, croutons, and shredded parmesan. The kale harvest salad includes hazelnuts and craisins in a house vinaigrette. And it wouldn’t be an Oregon Coast restaurant without clam chowder ($5.99 happy hour, $10.49 dinner or $20.99 in a sourdough bowl).

Meals include pub specialties familiar to diners at their other Pelican locations. Burgers ($18.49— $19.99) all use fresh

Oregon beef on a brioche bun with various toppings. We tried the Bleu Burger ($18.99) with blue-cheese crumbles and Kiwanda aioli like that served with the cheese curds. We preferred the unique combination of the Savory Fig & Bacon Burger ($19.99), which combines fig jam with two slices of bacon and garlic aioli. Fish and chips here aren’t likely to win converts from the Old Oregon Smokehouse. The happy hour serving ($8.99) offers one piece of fish in a breadcrumb batter with a side of chips; dinner ($18.99) increases the fish count to three, with a larger order of fries. We’ll stay with the Brecht family’s Smokehouse for their crispy batter, freshertasting fish (in varieties including cod, rockfish, halibut and salmon), and their traditional rustic setting. The fries at the Pelican, however, deserve special note. Dipped in a light beer batter before being crisped up for serving, these stay crunchy and delicious throughout the meal. And purists for Englishstyle chips (as opposed to crisps) will love the malt vinegar on every table.

But it’s the beer selection that is the heart and soul of Pelican, here and elsewhere. Their tap list prints alcohol percentage as well as International Bittering Units (IBU), a measure of the bitterness provided by the hops in each variety. Lower IBU counts are less bitter; their popular Kiwanda Cream Ale, for example, scores a 25 on the IBU scale with notes of floral aroma and a clean snappy finish. Their Beak Breaker Imperial IPA rings in at 90, with “big punchy hops and citrustropical aroma” per the tasting notes.

I’ve long enjoyed the Sea’N Red (25 IBU, toffee-like malt), which slots in well between Irish red ales and traditional brown English ales, refreshing but rich. And their Tsunami Stout (45 IBU with a dark chocolate-andcoffee aroma and flavor) is the perfect antidote to our dark and stormy nights on the coast.

Mooks playoff bound after victory over

Will CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook High School’s football team punched their playoff ticket with a 25-12 victory over the Seaside Seagulls on the road on Halloween night.

On a wet and windy evening, the Cheesemakers were locked in a defensive battle with the Gulls throughout the first half, before pulling away in the second, as Aden Camacho Garcia and Griffyn Boomer each tallied two rushing touchdowns, with Camacho Garcia sealing the victory with an 84-yard scamper in the fourth.

After receiving the opening kick, Tillamook’s offense set up at the 25, but got off to a rough start, heading backwards on first down before fumbling on second down and recovering to face a third and 20, forcing a punt after an incompletion.

Seaside started at their own 40 and failed to generate any momentum, going three and out.

Following a long punt, Tillamook started inside their

The Nestucca High Bobcats have enjoyed a very successful season and are hoping to cap it off by qualifying for the OSAA Class 2A football state playoffs.

The No. 14-ranked Bobcats were hoping to get a road win in their Special District 1 season finale versus the No. 6-ranked Clatskanie High Tigers (5-0 SD1, 8-0 overall) Oct. 31 (results unavailable). A win would’ve guaranteed them a spot in the 16-team OnPoint Community Credit Union state playoffs beginning

own 10 and a holding penalty on first down put them behind the chains. Aden Camacho-Garcia picked up 14 on a third down rush and a hard count drew an offside penalty, keeping the drive rolling. Tuiolemotu picked up another first on back-toback rushes and moments later a Lakota Navarre reception pushed the Cheesemakers into Seagull territory. Hurliman kept the Mooks moving on a third and nine with a quarterback keeper before Seaside stymied back-to-back rushes and an incompletion brought up fourth and 11 from the Seagull 36. Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson elected to go for it but a pass attempt for Camacho Garcia slipped through the receiver’s hands, returning the ball to the Gulls.

Seaside started from their 36 and picked up a first down on a fourth as the second quarter began before stalling out. Going for it on fourth and six, the snap sailed over the quarterback’s head, giving Tillamook the ball back at the Seagull 43. Tillamook’s drive looked

to be short-lived before a Griffyn Boomer reception on third and long kept the chains moving. The Mooks ground game found some traction for another first down and Tuiolemotu found a huge hole for a 29-yard rush to give the Cheesemakers a first and goal from the one. Griffyn Boomer took a second down hand off for the touchdown and after a failed two-point conversion, Tillamook led 6-0 with just under five and a half left in the half.

Seaside responded strongly with two big rushes quickly moving them from their own 35 to Tillamook’s 30, before a fourth-and-10 rush pushed them into the red zone. Seaside picked up a first and goal with under 15 seconds remaining and scored a touchdown as the clock hit double zeroes, with a missed PAT leaving the game knotted at six at the half.

Seaside began the second half just inside Tillamook territory and continued their success on the ground, picking up two quick first downs. Tillamook’s defense

then stiffened up and on third and ten from the 30, Drew Boomer intercepted a Seaside pass at the 10.

On the ensuing first down, Tillamook fumbled the ball, with seaside recovering, setting up a third-down rushing touchdown. A failed twopoint conversion attempt left the gulls ahead 12-6 with just under seven to play in the third.

Starting at their own 40, the Cheesemakers got rolling on the ground, with Tuiolemotu gaining more than 10 on second to breach Seagull territory. A pass interference against Seaside pushed the Mooks to the 30 and Camacho Garcia took a second down rush 25 yards to the house, drawing the score level, where it remained after a missed PAT with four and a half to go in the third.

Seaside’s return man struggled to field the following kickoff, pinning the Gulls inside their own ten. The Seagulls again picked up momentum on the ground, advancing to their 47 before a fourth down attempt came up short, giving the Mooks possession at their own 46.

Facing third and 12, Camacho Garcia found a seam, bursting through for a 36-yard rush to Seaside’s 20. After three rushes picked up eight, the Cheesemakers again went for it on fourth, with Tuiolemotu picking up three for the first and goal. Tuiolemotu powered ahead for seven on first, setting up another Griffyn Boomer rushing touchdown from the one on third down. A mishandled snap led to a failed pass attempt from the Mook holder, leaving the Cheesemakers up 18-12 with 8:15 left in the game.

A long kick return set seaside up with good field position at their 46, and after going nowhere on three downs, a targeting penalty against the Mooks advanced them to the Cheesemaker 45. A chop block penalty on first put the Seagulls right back on their side of midfield and they could not overcome the lost yardage, punting the ball to Tillamook, who took over at their own 14 with four and a half to play.

Camacho Garcia wasted no time, finding a small bit of daylight at the line and

Bobcat football shoots for playoffs

Nov. 7. A loss would mean that the Bobcats had to hope to receive an at-large berth, determined by OSAA Colley computer calculations, which can sometimes be unpredictable.

The Bobcats, guided by first-year Coach Michael Ward and assistant Coach Frank Elasser, were hoping that their season wasn’t going to end last Friday, as they had hopes of reaching the playoffs for a second consecutive year. It’s more than likely though that a loss to Clatskanie probably wouldn’t eliminate them from contention.

“The kids have really

been working very hard this year,” said Ward. “We have kind of done the math and we feel like we’ll probably get a playoff spot, which is what we’re hoping for.”

The Bobcats had an impressive three-week strech recently, with a three-game win streak, culminating in a 50-6 road win Oct. 10 versus the Vernonia High Loggers (0-5 SD1, 0-8 overall). Unfortunately, that win streak was snapped with a 48-6 road loss to the No. 3-ranked Knappa High Loggers (4-1 SD1, 6-1 overall).

“We’re where we wanted to be at this point and this is a goal that we set for ourselves at the beginning

of the season,” said Ward. “We were able to accomplish our goal, but we were hoping to go undefeated in league. We’re close and we’re hopefully on the way to achieving our goal of making the playoffs.”

The Bobcats responded well and regained their momentum with a comefrom-behind 14-13 home win over the Gaston High Greyhounds (3-3 SD1, 4-4 overall). Following the win, the Bobcats moved up to third place in the seventeam SD1 standings behind Knappa and Clatskanie.

“We stopped them (Greyhounds) three times in the second half when they

had offensive possessions in our territory,” said Ward. “We basically shut down their offense in the second half.” The Bobcats fell behind 7-0 in the first quarter and trailed 13-6 in the second quarter. A Bobcats gamewinning scoring drive was capped by a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jaxon Jensen to senior receiver Sarge Samek. Jaxon Jensen then provided the Bobcats with the gamewinning score on his twopoint conversion run for a 14-6 lead. A scoreless second half followed with both squads playing solid defense. The

breaking away from the entire Seaside defense for an 86-yard touchdown rush, with a successful PAT giving the Mooks a 25-12 advantage with 4:17 left in the game.

Seaside failed to go anywhere on their next possession and turned the ball over to the Mooks on downs at their own 39.

Camacho Garcia picked up yet another first down, sliding to keep the clock rolling and forcing the Seagulls to burn a timeout. Johnson opted to have quarterback Kevin Hurliman clock the ball on second and third down after a rush on first and the Mooks turned the ball over to Seaside after a Tuiolemotu rush with 16 seconds remaining, with the Seagulls completing a pass, throwing an incompletion and kneeling to end the game.

Tillamook improved to 7-2 on the season with the win, finishing second place in the Cowapa League and earning a spot in the state playoffs, where they will face North Bend (4-5) at home on Friday, November 7, at 7 p.m.

Bobcats junior trio of Brady Hurliman, Owen Love, Jace Jensen and seniors Eli Love (middle linebacker) and Sarge Samek played key roles defensively to help the Bobcats shutout the Greyhounds in the second half.

“Eli played very well as did Sarge, Brady, Jace (interception) and Owen too,” said Ward. “Actually, it was full team effort that helped contribute defensively that enabled us get a win. Brady and Owen both came up big and they made some key fourth down tackles late in the game to us stop offensive possessions by Gaston that were pivotal in helping us get the win.”

Affolter has strong freshman season at Pacific University

By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

Tillamook’s Cole Affolter is achieving a lifelong goal by playing college soccer for the NCAA Division III Pacific University Boxers men’s soccer team in Forest Grove.

At the beginning of the season in August, Affolter played mostly on the Boxer’s reserve squad, facing off against other area college reserve team squads and playing sparingly during regular games the first month of the season.

After getting the opportunity to become a starter for the first time in late September, Affolter has proven to be a very reliable and key member of the team. In his first ever start Sept. 28, Affolter scored a goal

to help the Boxers (3-6-4 NWC, 3-8-5 overall) get a Northwest Conference 2-1 win against the Lewis & Clark College Pioneers (0-10-2 NWC, 0-13-3 overall). in Portland.

Affolter, a 5-foot-9 freshman forward, is one of three freshman starters on a Boxer squad guided by sixth-year Coach Brandon Porter, a 2009 Pacific University graduate and former Boxer soccer player.

“Cole kind of just kept climbing the ladder and he never complained about the limited playing time,” said Porter. “He just continued working hard, he has a great attitude and he’s easy to coach. He has actually become an even better player ever since he’s been starting and he seems very comfortable in

that role. Cole is just a really great young man, and we really enjoy having him on our team.”

Affolter has scored three goals, and he has one assist while playing as a starter in 12 of the 19-games on the Boxer schedule this season.

Affolter was a reserve in the first seven games, but he’s been firmly in the starting lineup since Sept. 28.

“Midway through the season, Cole was definitely impressing our coaching staff in practice,” said Porter. “The reserve games are kind of like the high school junior varsity level competition. It gives the guys who were not getting many minutes of playing time to have a chance to play an entire game. He was noticeable by everyone on

the team that he was a very good player, so then we decided to put him in the starting lineup.”

Affolter is a 2025 Tillamook High graduate. His older brother Carter played for on the Boxers squad in 2023 as a freshman. Porter says that Carter was a pretty good player too, but he discontinued his soccer career because he wanted to focus on school and concentrate on academics, including his physical therapy major. Affolter’s younger brother Cannon, is a junior on the OSAA Class 4A No. 8-ranked Tillamook High Cheesemakers state playoff bound boys’ soccer team.

“Cole is such a kind, thoughtful and very polite teammate,” said Porter. “He doesn’t demand to be in the spotlight, so when he does all these really good things, sometimes we don’t notice it because he’s so unassuming. Every time he does things in practice or in games, we’re really impressed. We knew we were getting a good player, but we didn’t realize that we were getting that good of a player. I’m hoping that Cole will be a four-year starter for us.”

The Boxers are in sixth place in the nine-team Northwest Conference standings and didn’t qualify for the playoffs. They’ll play their season finale Nov. 8 at 1:45 p.m. against the Willamette University Bearcats (5-3-6 NWC, 5-6-7 overall) in Salem.

Boys volleyball sanctioned as high school sport in Oregon

NATE LOWERY

OSAAtoday

The Delegate Assembly of the Oregon School Activities Association has voted in boys volleyball as an OSAAsanctioned activity.

Boys volleyball will begin its first season as a sanctioned activity in the Spring of 2026 following two years as an emerging activity. It is the first activity to join the association’s offering since girls wrestling was voted in by the Delegate Assembly ahead of the 2023-24 association year. Oregon is the 26th state to add boys volleyball as a sanctioned activity.

Boys volleyball is the first activity to be added through the OSAA’s emerging activity process. The process allows the growth of meaningful interscholastic participation opportunities for students in athletics and activities that have the potential to meet the required number of schools participating to be considered for official sanctioning by the OSAA.

Sixty-eight varsity teams competed last spring – Central Catholic (6A), Summit (5A), Estacada (4A) and St. Mary’s, Medford (3A/2A/1A) claimed culminating event titles in May. Over the last six years, the sport has seen a 51% growth

— the highest among boys sports — nationally, according to the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA).

Marshfield and North Bend both fielded squads last spring, splitting their four matches. Marshfield advanced to the concluding tournament, placing eighth.

A plan book and dates for the 2026 season will be released at a later date.

Girls flag football is in the second year of a two-year emerging sport status and is eligible to be voted on at the October 2026 Delegate Assembly meeting.

The Oregon School Activities Association issued the decision to approve boys volleyball as an activity at the assembly’s Oct. 6 meeting.

A festival you’ll never fir-get

While many still have turkey dinners on the mind, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is gearing up for a tree-mendous time that you won’t want to miss.

The 21st annual Festival of Trees fundraiser returns this December with an expanded schedule to allow for even more people to enjoy the magic of the season. Festival of Trees includes four events: three, free community celebrations and the traditional Festival Fundraiser Gala and Silent Auction.

“We’re delighted to

expand beyond our usual one-night event to create a month-long Christmas celebration to bring together our community and supporters,” Tillamook County Pioneer Museum Director Peyton Tracy said. To harness the festivity of the most wonderful time of the year, the Museum will be decked and trimmed with Christmas décor including 12 Christmas trees graciously sponsored by Museum supporters.

“One big change coming this year is that we will still have our forest of Christmas

trees, but they will not be for auction,” Tracy said.

“Instead, we hope you will help us to sponsor and decorate full-sized and tabletop trees that will be displayed with your name and logo the entire month of December.”

A Fireside Chat will kick of the month on Friday, December 5 at noon. During this time, guests are invited to visit with Museum staff and board members, as well as some of the Museum’s valued community partner organizations. Visitors can get a sneak preview of upcoming exhibits and

projects, as well as learn more about the important work the Museum does to preserve and interpret Tillamook County’s cultural and natural heritage. A second Fireside Chat will be hosted on Wednesday, December 10 at 4 pm. Fireside Chats are free and open to the public.

Then, come marvel at the festive forest during the Twinkling Trees Family Night on Saturday, December 6, from 3-7 pm. The

evening will correspond with the City of Tillamook’s Christmas Tree lighting ceremony and light parade festivities. The Museum’s doors will be open and admission is free for visitors to enjoy the decorated trees, snap family photos, and participate in a kids’ holiday scavenger hunt.

Concluding the month is the Festive Fundraiser slated for Wednesday, December 17. This year, the Museum has added a Christmas

Tea which will be hosted from 2-4 pm with light hors d’oeuvres and beverages, Christmas music, and special silent auction items exclusively for afternoon guests. Then at 5 pm, the Gala and additional silent auction will begin and go until 8 pm with light dinner items, complimentary drinks, and social time; all while surrounded by history and Christmas delights.

“There will be good food, good music, and good friends brought together to support the museum during the holiday season,” Tracy said. “This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our incredible community, far and wide. We are so grateful to be a part of a community that supports each other.”

Tickets to the Festive Fundraiser are $40 a person and include admission to both the Christmas Tea and Gala events. Tickets can be purchased online beginning November 1 at tcpm.org or in person at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum.

“With your help, we’re one step closer to meeting our mission of preserving and presenting Tillamook County history for all,” Tracy said.

Silent auction contributions, sponsorships, and monetary donations are accepted to support the Museum’s biggest fundraiser of the year. If you wish to support the Museum’s Festival of Trees event, email Community Engagement Coordinator Chelsea Yarnell at chelsea@tcpm.org or visit the Museum at 2106 Second Street in Tillamook.
