Burden’s driver cleared in tickets issued at crash scene WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Burden’s Muffler and Towing employee was found not guilty on November 13, of two traffic violations issued while he was responding to a crash scene Dennis Wine, defense attorney for Tanner Billow, the Burden’s driver, said that the incident was part of a pattern of behavior by Officer David Martinez of the Tillamook Police of acting aggressively in roadside manners and questioned the city’s handling of the situation. “You’ve got your local police here, and your chief is out and they’re in disarray and they’re not taking care of business,” Wine said. “This guy needs to be monitored.” The crash and citations

CAT enrolling participants for septic system replacement program WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

he Community Action Team is actively seeking Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia County property owners whose septic systems are failing to participate in a $1.5 million, grant-funded, nointerest, no-payment replacement program. Casey Mitchell, who is overseeing the program for the Community Action Team (CAT), said that so far uptake has been slow, as property owners have been reticent to interact with team members for the project. Mitchell stressed that although the program is being undertaken in conjunction with the county governments, they and CAT are committed to helping homeowners and are not using the program as an enforcement tool to penalize failed or failing systems. CAT applied for the grant earlier this year in partnership with Tillamook County and received the $1.5-million award in June from state Coronavirus recovery funds, courtesy of the Department of Environmental Quality. The program offers homeowners in unincorporated parts of the three counties with septic system issues to apply for a loan to finance the repair or replacement of the system. Loans offered through the program come with a 30-year term, no interest and no payments due. They are available to people making 120% of the area’s median income or less, which comes out to around $60,000 for an individual and $75,000 for a family of three in Tillamook County. The loans are repaid when the

unprofessional, saying that Martinez’s behavior had drawn an emotional reaction. Martinez’s body camera was not recording at the time of the incident, so there was no way to confirm who became agitated first, but other first responders on the scene noticed that Martinez was in a heated argument with the driver of the pickup. An Oregon State Police (OSP) Trooper at the scene approached the truck and inserted himself in the conversation. After ascertaining who Billow was and his purpose at the scene, he told Martinez to go to his patrol car to cool down, which he did, and allowed Billow to progress. Billow proceeded to Burden’s lot, picked up a tow truck, returned to the scene, removed the two disabled vehicles and deposited them at Burden’s lot. Then, as he was leaving the lot to go home, Martinez, who had been parked in front of the Tillamook Farm Store, SEE CRASH SCENE PAGE A4

property sells, with the funds returning to the program’s coffers for reuse in future loans. If the property is not sold or refinanced for non-emergency purposes during the thirty-year period, the loan will be forgiven. Mitchell said that CAT has had great success with a similar loan program that offers the same terms to help residents repair roofs and siding and address other home maintenance issues. That program has been running for more than 30 years and Mitchell said that based on experience with it he expected that the septic loans could revolve three to four times before running out due to inflation and overhead and administrative costs. The $1.5 million is expected to fund an initial round of up to 109 system repairs and replacements across the three counties, though only 35 property owners have applied to date. Repairs financed so far have ranged from tank replacements costing several thousand dollars, to the installation of new drain fields for around $10,000, up to the installation of whitewater systems costing $25,000. Mitchell said that the goal of the septic tank program was to help owners with failing systems SEE CAT PAGE A4

The citations were issued on the afternoon of July 23, a Sunday, after Billow, a part-time tow truck driver for Burden’s, received a call

about a car accident at the intersection of Highway 101 and Wilson River Loop Road near the creamery. At the time, Billow was at home, north of the accident, and began driving south on Highway 101 towards Burden’s lot in downtown Tillamook to pick up a tow truck to respond to the scene Heading south, Billow hit a snarl of traffic at the base of Juno Hill and eased into the center turn lane, turning on his emergency flashers, to pass through the jam more quickly. As Billow approached the scene of the collision, Martinez, who was directing traffic, signaled for him to stop, which he did. At that point, the situation quickly became heated. According to Billow, Martinez approached his truck in an aggressive manner and began speaking to him in a raised voice, demanding to know what he was doing. Billow said in court that he explained to Martinez why he was there but acknowledged that his response had been

ayor Deb Simmons of Manzanita resigned from her post, submitting a letter of resignation that went into effect immediately on November 13. The decision follows questions surrounding the mayor’s residency, that drew concern from the community and members of the city council, who scheduled an executive session to discuss the issue at their November meeting. Simmons was elected in November 2022, to replace the retiring Mike Scott after running unopposed for the position and her term was marked from the beginning by controversy. At her first meeting in January of this year, Simmons angered other councilors by rejecting a search committee’s nominees for Manzanita’s planning commission, saying that she did not agree with their recommendations after reviewing the candidates. Simmons also said that she had misgivings about the search process after discussing it with the mayors of other cities. Simmons appointed different candidates than those recommended at the February meeting, leading Councilor Jerry Spegman and then-Councilor Jenna Edginton to question her handling of the matter. Edginton said that the search process had been designed by the previous council to prevent the appearance of mayoral cronyism and Simmons’s rejection of it

had concerned members of the community. Spegman questioned Simmons’s reliance on outside mayors rather than discussions with her predecessor and both bemoaned the embarrassment caused and time wasted by applicants and search committee members. Controversy again flared in May, when a group of citizens filed public records requests for the mayor’s emails, revealing what they viewed as inappropriate correspondence with Manzanita resident Randy Kugler. Kugler served as Manzanita’s city manager between 1989 and 1996 before later retiring to the community and losing in a 2020 campaign for city council. In the emails, Simmons repeatedly sought Kugler’s guidance on city issues and thanked him for coaching her. More than 20 residents signed a letter protesting the contents of the emails, saying that they did not agree with Kugler’s antagonistic stance towards City Manager Leila Aman and calling him an “obsessive faultfinder.” They asked Simmons to sever her relationship with Kugler and work to bring people together and protect city employees, rather than pursue a strategy of divisiveness and allow what they characterized as the continued harassment of employees by Kugler. Simmons responded angrily to the letter after it was read into the public record at the council’s May meeting, saying that she was concerned at being asked to end a friendship. She said that she had never expected to be told who to

communicate with as an adult and argued that disagreements were a part of democracy. Simmons drew the ire of her fellow councilors again in June, when she submitted a letter to the editor to the Tillamook County Pioneer criticizing the city’s proposed budget that was up for consideration that month. Simmons questioned the city’s overhead funding model, which sees water revenues contribute a portion of the city’s budget, and took issue with past councils’ decision not to raise water rates or complete capital projects. Budget committee members and Spegman, Edginton and City Councilor Linda Kozlowski took exception to Simmons raising policy concerns in the budgeting process that should have been addressed by council. Councilors also noted that Aman had been working to address many of the complaints raised by Simmons. Kozlowski read a statement saying that the publication of the editorial without consulting the council breached the city’s charter and that she was deeply disappointed with the situation. All three said that they felt the incident was another indicator of Simmons’s failure to form good working relationships with her fellow councilors and beseeched her to change that pattern. Controversy erupted for a final time at the council’s November meeting, when Councilor Jerry SEE SIMMONS PAGE A4

Rockaway Beach Council approves high ground project WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

ockaway Beach’s City Council entered a $70,000 contract with Fiorelli Consulting for public outreach and predesign on a project to relocate emergency services out of the tsunami inundation zone at their November 8 meeting. The council also approved the purchase of playground equipment for the Anchor Street Park, held a first reading of a capital improvement plan for the city’s streets and awarded a $5,000 community grant to the Rockaway Writers’ Rendezvous. Thomas “T.J.” Fiorelli,

any concerns they might have about the project. Fiorelli Consulting will help to inspect the property to delineate wetlands that it contains, with at least two national wetland inventory areas on the site. They will also conduct mapping and spatial, and environmental analyses ahead of helping to develop a general budget for the project. Using that budget, Fiorelli will help the city to write grant applications that he said will include strong arguments and a compelling narrative about the project’s necessity. Fiorelli said that he has already identified one grant that could apply to the project and is looking for

former Tillamook housing coordinator, described his consultancy’s plans for the high ground project in a presentation at the beginning of the meeting. The city recently purchased a 10.6-acre parcel in its urban growth boundary, with an eye on locating the city’s vehicles, equipment and offices outside of the tsunami inundation zone. The property ranges from 68 feet to 130 feet above sea level. Fiorelli said that he and his firm will help to guide the city through the early stages of the process. First, they will conduct public outreach to determine what the community would like to see done with the site and gauge

more. Matt Del Moro from HBH Engineering also gave a presentation at the meeting, detailing his company’s recent work on a streets capital improvements plan. The goal of the plan was to identify streets in the city that need to be upgraded and was based off city staff and citizens’ feedback. Del Moro said that the list was not final and the next step would be on-the-ground evaluation of the street’s condition. The plan divided the needed projects into four groups, major street rehabilitations and overlays, maintenance projects, conversion of gravel roads to asphalt and significant capital

improvements to gravel roads. Rehabilitating Pacific Street between Third and Eleventh Streets on its northern section and Second and Third Streets in the south was the biggest project identified with new paving on Pacific, Front, Anchor, Quadrant and Palisade Streets also mentioned. Del Moro said that now that the list is complete the team needs to get on the ground and prioritize the list so that the city can begin planning for the projects. Del Moro said that the projects would have a five-year timeframe. The council also voted to approve the purchase of

$241,000 in playground equipment for the Anchor Street Park from Buell Recreation. $174,000 of that is being used to purchase a play structure while the remaining $67,000 is dedicated to rubber tiles. The purchase was approved by a vote of 4-1, with Councilor Kristine Hayes voting no, citing concerns about locating a playground so close to emergency services. City Manager Luke Shepard also announced that the city’s tree lighting ceremony will be held on November 24, from 6 to 7 p.m.

Manzanita council updated on city hall work M

anzanita City Manager Leila Aman and the project team working on a new city hall project presented a detailed update on recent work to the city council at a meeting on November 15. After the council approved moving into the second stage of the project in June, much of the work completed in the last five months took place behind the scenes but the project is now nearing the end of the design phase. There has been a slight increase in the projected budget since the last update in June, but a financing source has been secured and the project is set to move into construction next year. Design The meeting started with Aman and Chris Keane, from Bearing Architecture, telling the council about progress made on the design of the project. In February, after hazardous material studies revealed a high cost of remediating asbestos and mold concerns in the Quonset hut and disused school building at Underhill Plaza, the council voted to demolish the buildings in favor of new construction. In June, they approved a scheme for the design that would site the combined city hall and police station in one corner of the site, at the corner of Classic and Manzanita Avenues. Since then, the team was forced to rethink placing the police station and city hall facilities in the same building after a geotechnical

report showed that it would greatly increase the cost of foundation construction. The police station is being designed to serve as the emergency operations center for the city and must be built to a risk category IV specification. That means the structure must be capable of withstanding a maximum Cascadia subduction zone earthquake. Keane said that more detailed geotechnical reports completed since June showed that achieving that resiliency would require boring foundation pilings 60 feet through sand and loose dirt into bedrock. The cost of doing so for the combined building would be prohibitive with the project’s budget, as would designing a two-foundation schematic for one building, so the team recommended separating the functions between two buildings. Councilors said that they appreciated the reasons for the separation and gave a consensus on moving forward with the plan. The police station will be slightly to the north of the city hall building with a covered pergola connecting the two. The plan still shows the building with a cedar exterior to match with community feedback indicating that it would fit better with the town’s aesthetic, though the team found that vertical siding was a significantly cheaper alternative to the initially envisioned shingles. Councilors asked about the lack of feedback on recent project developments and Aman said that the team had relied on the extensive feedback gathered at town halls and online in 2022 to inform their decisions. She

also said that once the land use approval process has been completed, hopefully in December, the team plans to do more engagement to gather citizens’ feedback on the designs. Budget Aman then transitioned into a discussion of updated budget projections for the project. Since June, the total projected budget of the project has increased from $5.79 to $6 million dollars. The increase in budget came primarily from a $500,000 increase in the project’s hard costs. The bulk of that increase came from the recent, planned transfer of $319,000 from the city’s budget to the project budget to pay for impending remediation and demolition work on the existing buildings. Consequently, those funds were removed from the city’s projected contributions on the balance sheet to the hard costs line item. Aman told the council that the remediation work is expected to begin sometime in the weeks after Thanksgiving. The geotechnical reports’ results and upward revisions to estimates of constructing the police station’s foundation were the other major driver of the increase in hard costs. The projected cost of building permits also rose slightly while an anticipated $15,000 needed for traffic considerations was removed. Project Manager Jessie Steiger told the council that with design nearing completion and work starting on the site, the budget is becoming more certain.

The latest design for the new city hall and police station project, showing two separate buildings at Underhill Plaza. Steiger said the two largest risks remaining for cost overrides were the remediation work and the police station’s foundation. While the project team believes that the included $500,000 contingency will account for any discoveries made once work begins, unexpected hazardous materials or the need for deeper foundations could push the budget up. Financing Finally, Aman moved into a conversation about the financing of the project. In June, in addition to approving the design scheme, the council also voted to finance the project through a special public works fund loan from Business Oregon, approving Aman to execute a loan of up to $4 million. In October, Business Oregon approved a $5.1 million loan to the city from the special public works

fund, which will require council approval for Aman’s execution. The loan is structured to issue payouts as work is completed and only in the amount necessary to complete the project, meaning that the full $5.1 million should not be issued. Interest will only accrue on the money that is actually borrowed. During construction interest will accrue at a 2.1% rate and once the project is complete the debt will be sold to a bond bank, which will set a permanent rate for a repayment schedule of ten years. Aman said that she estimated the long-term rate would be around 4%. The latest budget projects that the city will need to borrow just over $4 million from Business Oregon to complete the project. The city has already spent around $375,000 on the project, received $207,000 in grants that can be applied to it, the

Tillamook library to consider s closer integration with Lincoln County system WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

he Tillamook County Library Board heard a presentation about the possibility of switching the system they use to manage their collection to the same one as is used in Lincoln County District Libraries on November 15. Lincoln County Library District Director Bryan Miyagishima said that the move could lead to a large cost savings and would give patrons a better experience, allowing more seamless transfers of materials between the two systems. Integrated library software (ILS) is the technology that libraries use to manage their collections, handling patron’s search queries, the library’s inventory, bill payments and other aspects of the library experience. Currently, Tillamook County libraries are a member of the Oceanbooks Consortium, which also

includes Newport and Lincoln City libraries and uses an ILS called Sierra. Sierra is a proprietary, commercial ILS and Tillamook County Library Director Don Allgeier said that the libraries spend about $180,000 annually to use it. Meanwhile, the rest of Lincoln County’s libraries, which Miyagishima oversees, use an opensource alternative offered by Bywater Solutions called Koha. Those libraries are part of the Chinook Consortium, which also includes Tillamook Bay Community College and Clatsop Community College. While the two consortia cooperate to allow access to each other’s collections, the different ILSs employed require patrons to have a library card with each system and incur a higher cost for the libraries when intersystem transfers occur. The previous director of Lincoln County District Libraries applied for a grant

from the state of Oregon in 2020 through the Library Services and Technology Act to evaluate their services and ways to integrate them with other libraries on the coast. The consultant found that the library’s patrons were interested in creating a unified system for the whole coast. The consultant recommended against pursuing that strategy immediately because of the geographic divides that exist between the various communities. The consultant instead said that the library should start with smaller steps, with a priority on integrating all the libraries in Lincoln County. Miyagishima said that given his libraries’ longtime relationship with Tillamook County libraries he and his board had wanted to offer Tillamook the opportunity to participate in that integration. Perhaps the biggest advanatage of switching software for Tillamook County Libraries would

be the cost savings. Miyagishima said that their research had estimated that Tillamook would spend $18,150 annually to use Koha, just a tenth of what they spend on Sierra. It would also allow patrons in either county to search and borrow from the collections of any of the libraries in the counties, as well as those at Tillamook Bay Community College and Clatsop Community College. The downside of the open-source Koha software is that it comes with less technical support from the company that designed it, requiring librarians to configure the system. This concern was what led Tillamook libraries to choose Sierra when Lincoln SEE TILLAMOOK LIBRARY PAGE A4

city hall fund has a current balance of $250,000 and Aman plans to ask the council to apply $634,000 from the sale of the old city hall to the project. The city council will need to approve an increase in the limit of the loan that Aman is authorized to execute, which Aman plans to seek in January or February. The design team is currently working through construction documents for the project, finalizing designs and obtaining necessary permits. Steiger said that they plan to complete that phase in January, at which point they will put the project out for bid. After a thirty-day window for companies to submit bids, the team will recommend a selection to the city council at their meeting in March. If approved, work is expected to begin shortly thereafter and to be complete by spring 2025.

Burden and other managers at Burden’s hoped that there was a misunderstanding that could be resolved by speaking with Martinez’s bosses, so they reached out to City Manager Nathan George and acting Police Chief Nick Troxel. However, the Burdens were disappointed when George said that he could not do anything about the tickets and that they would need to go to court. He said that if they filed a formal complaint against Martinez, it would be investigated, so, they did. The hearing In Justice Court on November 13, Wine took extreme issue with both Martinez’s conduct and the city’s handling of the incident. In his opening, Wine said that he had three main points in defense of Billow. First,

on the date of the citations Billow was acting as a first responder in a contracted role with the city, helping to respond to a crash and restore traffic flow. Second, Martinez’s conduct was not what the public should expect from officers when handling emotional situations. Wine said that not only had Martinez acted unprofessionally on the day in question, but that it was a pattern of behavior in his law enforcement career. Third, Wine said that the incident raised questions about whether there was a lack of proper oversight of Martinez from the Tillamook Police Department, as ticketing people responding to an accident scene in an official capacity was inappropriate. Testifying to the court, Martinez said that Billow had not stopped immediately when he started signaling him to do so at the accident site, leading to the failure to obey citation, and that he had noticed Billow wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when he approached the vehicle. Two members of the Tillamook Fire District who were at the scene also testified. They both said that they had worked with Burden’s during their multi-decade careers with the district and that the practice of tow truck drivers maneuvering past traffic was

common. Both were attending to people involved in the crash but said that they had nonetheless noticed the confrontation when it happened and had never seen anything like it before. The Oregon State Police Trooper who had been at the site also appeared in court virtually. The trooper confirmed that he had noticed the confrontation happening at the roadside and stepped in once he realized who the truck’s driver was and told Martinez to return to his car. When asked by Wine, the trooper said that he would not have cited Billow given the circumstances. Billow took the stand in his own defense and outlined the series of events. He clarified that he had stopped as soon as he saw Martinez and had been preparing to exit his truck to inspect the crash site to determine which equipment to bring when Martinez approached, at which point he had already taken off his seatbelt and begun opening the door. After hearing all the testimony, Justice of the Peace Pro Tem Dustin Johnson found Billow not guilty on both counts.

under the color of office, but that “it could be perceived” that Martinez had attempted to use his position for personal gain.

During the hearing, Wine tried to introduce Martinez’s past performance, specifically his dismissal from the OSP,

into the record but Johnson sustained an objection by Martinez preventing it. However, an online search of Martinez’s name returned a memo detailing an investigation into Martinez’s 2022 termination from the OSP on the Department of Public Safety and Standard’s website. The memo revealed that Martinez had been terminated after acting unprofessionally during a confrontation with his neighbors, which the memo said followed “multiple previous unprofessional sustained complaints against him, which provided a pattern of poor decision-making similar to the incident with his neighbors.” In the incident with his neighbors, Martinez confronted a group loading donated furniture onto a truck in a no-parking zone in the cul-de-sac where he lived. Multiple people at the scene said that Martinez’s manner had been aggressive as he screamed at them to shut up or receive a citation. The neighbors also showed Oregon State Police investigators looking into the situation photos of Martinez’s patrol vehicle parked in the same no-parking zone he had cited them for being in. The report said that the incident did not warrant the revocation of Martinez’s certifications because he had not gained an advantage

Tillamook County estimates that around 15% of properties in the county rely on septic systems and that some 5-10% of those systems are failing, threatening e. coli contamination of well and ground water. Mitchell said that CAT had anticipated property owners’ reticence to welcome governmentaffiliated personnel onsite for inspections but said that he

hoped people would see the positive results of participants and be willing to join the program. “We knew that it was going to be a challenge to get to some of these folks and I think as we do more of these folks are going to see and say, ‘oh, this is legit,’” Mitchell said. When a property owner contacts CAT with concerns about their system, they

send a certified technician to the property to inspect the system. They then work with the county government to develop a plan for the property and obtain necessary permits for the work, with grant funds set aside to pay for engineering services on more complicated projects. Once the planning work is complete, upgrades, repairs or replacements usually take two to three days of work,

according to Mitchell. Like CAT’s other housing initiatives, Mitchell said the goal of the septic program is to help facilitate home repairs that allow residents to age in place and avoid maintenancecost induced home sales. Property owners who believe their septic system is in need of repair can reach CAT at (503) 410-5833.

Metro Area to pursue medical treatment for her husband. Simmons said that she was staying at an address less than half a mile away from her former property

in Manzanita but did not delineate her division of time between there and a new home in Wilsonville where her husband lives full time. Simmons said that she had cleared the move with the Oregon Secretary of State’s office and Manzanita’s city attorney and had shared a letter with the council explaining the situation in October. She explained that she had not been more communicative because of concern for her and her husband’s privacy. Spegman disputed Simmons’s characterization of the situation, saying that her explanation had only been offered after he raised the issue by putting it on the agenda for the council’s October meeting, which was subsequently canceled. Spegman also said that the property had sold in early August, which property records confirmed, meaning there had been a two-month period with no communication. The city’s attorney clarified that Simmons had only asked about the implications of

moving within the city on qualifications for office, not mentioning a split-time arrangement. The attorney went on to say that it was the council’s duty to determine the mayor and councilors’ fitness for service and it was an important responsibility. Other councilors said that they shared Simmons’s privacy concerns but that the issue had raised too many questions in the community to go unaddressed. They asked city staff to schedule an executive session to discuss the issue further. However, Simmons submitted a letter of resignation, effective immediately, on November 13. In the letter, Simmons wrote of her journey to becoming mayor and through her tenure, saying that she brought a belief in open and honest dialogue, and sound administration to the position. She said that her votes while mayor had been informed by a desire to have citizens vote on major budget expenditures, uphold the city’s charter and respect the city’s neighborhoods.

Simmons did not mention her residency status in the letter and explained that over her year on council she had found “the vocal minority to be charting the course for the city.” She detailed a conversation with “a teacher of Buddha” who advised that in situations dealing with “toxic people” it was necessary to acknowledge their anger and pain if hopefulness and compassion failed to achieve results. Simmons said that the resignation was “based on irreconcilable differences” and effective immediately, but wrote, “nevertheless, I still hold out hope that the sanguine majority who love Manzanita as I do, the majority, will eventually prevail.” The vacancy will now be posted for a period of 30 days, starting on November 20, with applications due by December 20 at 5 p.m. Council will then interview candidates at their January meeting and select a replacement to complete the term.

A pattern of behavior?

The city’s response After the hearing, the Headlight Herald reached out to City Manager Nathan George for comment on the incident. George defended Martinez’s handling of the incident, saying that an investigation into Martinez’s conduct by Troxel had shown the citations were not illegally issued. “What happened in court yesterday was pretty sad from what I understand,” George said. George said that complaints about Martinez came because “people don’t like the fact that he’s giving them tickets,” and said that Martinez had the right to issue citations to anyone breaking the law. A letter from George to a Burden’s employee that was shared with the Headlight Herald said that Martinez had been found in violation of two policies in the incident, but George said that was not accurate. He said that there had been two areas of unprofessional behavior in the incident that had been addressed but declined to share more details about the behavior or steps taken to address it.

George said that the investigation had found that the citations had been properly issued and pushed back on the notion that Burden’s was a first responder, noting that Billow had been in an unmarked car on the day of the incident. When asked if it was department policy to ticket tow truck drivers en route to an accident scene, George would not give a yes or no answer. He said that “I don’t instruct him (Martinez) on who he does and doesn’t ticket” and reiterated he believed the citations had been issued correctly. He also pointed to Billow’s behavior as a factor in the ticketing, at first saying, “if someone is respectful and does what they should, they’re not going to get a ticket,” before clarifying in response to a follow-up question that he had meant to say, “if someone is doing something unlawful, they can be ticketed.” On the issue of Martinez’s dismissal from OSP, George defended the city’s hiring processes, saying that applicants for the police went through an extensive screening process and the city had been aware of the dismissal when it hired him. “I had no problem hiring him, he’s done a great job,” George said.

CAT CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 remove the “anchor hanging over their head” of possible code violations and to help ensure the safety of wells on their properties and those of neighbors. CAT has partnered with Tillamook Estuaries Partnership to help identify potentially failing systems and monitor future progress through their Environmental DNA testing program. Since 1997, the program has sent

teams of volunteers into the field to gather water samples from around Tillamook County to be tested for contaminants, with the ability to pinpoint the source of contamination through DNA testing. Mitchell said that he believed the unique program had been a key in CAT’s grant proposal being accepted and rated most highly of all applicants.

SIMMONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 Spegman added an item to the agenda to discuss Simmons’s residency. Before Spegman could introduce his item, Simmons interjected, asserting her right

to take advantage of the bully pulpit to address the situation. Simmons said that she and her husband had sold their home in September due to the need to move to the Portland

TILLAMOOK LIBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE A3 libraries first switched to Koha and necessitated the two-consortia setup in the counties. However, Allgeier said that the software has become more developed in the intervening years and requires less technical expertise now. Miyagishima noted that numerous other library systems across Oregon, including those in Corvallis, Jackson County and all libraries south of Newport on the coast, use Koha and their librarians would be a valuable resource if questions arise.

Miyagishima said that Lincoln County libraries plan to apply for another state grant next March to fund the costs of migrating information from their Sierra libraries to Koha. He said that he hoped Tillamook’s board would choose to join them in the migration and that he would be willing to forestall the grant application for another year if necessary to facilitate that. The planned application will also request funding for the first year of operations, two years of training and travel funding to help librarians get up to speed on

the integrated system and a proposal to include Yachats, which currently has no online catalogue. Allgeier said that he was excited about the proposal and believed the integration would give Tillamook libraries the chance to amplify their impact by accessing a wider array of materials. The board asked Allgeier to investigate the matter fully and develop a report and recommendation for the board’s December or January meeting so they could decide on whether to join in the grant application.

years and then the lockdown (COVID) in 2020 really seemed to dismantle our team,” said Werner, who is beginning his 28th season with the Tillamook basketball program. “I think we’re going to be a much more competitive team this year,” he continued. “Four of our seniors had extensive playing time last year and they’ll be some major contributors on the court for us this season. We just have to win all our home games and then steal a few wins on the road, which will be tough, but we’ll have chance to do that.” Tillamook’s two league wins last year were against the St. Helens High Lions and the Scappoose High Indians. Although the Mooks struggled all year, they did conclude the season on a positive note with a 53-48 home win over the Indians to

provide their five graduating seniors with a satisfying end to their career. “We’re going to have a very athletic team and we’ll be able to get up and down the court quickly,” said Werner. “Hopefully, we can get back to where we’re vying for a league title and be playing on the last day of the season. We’re just looking forward to the start of the season and having a competitive season and seeing where we can go.” The Mooks will be looking to start this season in the same manner that they concluded last year. Tillamook opens its 22game season with a 7 p.m. December 5 road game versus the Class 3A YamhillCarlton High Tigers (14-11 last year). The Mooks play their first home game December 8 at 6 p.m. versus the Class 3A

Valley Catholic High Valiants (10-14 last year). The Mooks will be seeking some revenge against the Valiants, who embarrassed them at home a year ago in a 52-25 loss. The Mooks have an experienced squad that includes five seniors who will provide leadership as well as offensive firewpower. Those seniors are Juan Gomez, Andrew White, Logan Lancaster, Tanner Hoskins and Logan Motsinger, a 6-foot-5 post. Motsinger, junior Cody Hoffert (6-4) and Hoskins (6-2) provide the Mooks with some height that will enable them to be a good rebounding team. “We have a good balance of height and length and so we’ll be able to rebound well,” said Werner, who is being assisted by Coach Daniel Seaholm. “We’ll have to play fast and having a shot clock now for the first time

ever will be a little different.” Werner noted that the Cheesemakers had played with a shot clock during summer scrimmages and in past games against teams in Washington. “We just have to make sure we have good shot selection and then play good transition defense and make sure that we don’t give up any easy baskets to our opponents,” Werner said. Several juniors are also expected to make contributions this year include Hoffert, Vaughn McCune, Tanner Baertlein, Grady Whitlatch and Carsen Rieger. Sophomore Griffyn Boomer, who was a starter for much of last season, will also be counted on to help lead the Mooks offense. Along with Hoskins he is expected to be one of the team’s leading scorers. Tillamook embarks on its

12-game league schedule January 9, at home versus Astoria (8-4 league, 1610 overall last year). The two-time league champion Seaside Seagulls (11-1 league, 19-5 overall last year) are pegged as the favorite to win another title with eight players returning from last year’s OSAA state playoff squad. The Mooks will be focusing on returning to respectability in the Cowapa League this year while hoping to make a playoff push. In the last four years, Tillamook has won a total of just seven league games, including a dismal 2-6 record during the 2021-2022 season. The last time the Mooks had a winning overall record was in 2018 when they were 15-10 and 5-5 in league. Tillamook’s last state playoff appearance was in 2015.

Neah-Kah-Nie boys’ basketball team looks to build on success By MIKE WEBER For the Headlight Herald

g e year ago, the NeahKah-Nie High Pirates s boys basketball team began irs their first season at the OSAA n Class 3A level after moving ce- up from the 2A classification. Generally, when teams move up a level, the expectations is for having a successful season are lowered because they’re facing stronger competition. However, Pirates completely defied those expectations, enjoying an outstanding year with an n experienced squad of nine seniors. The Pirates finished er with a 7-5 Coastal Range League record and a 14-10 overall mark. The Pirates finished in third place in the seven-team r league, ranked No. 17 and advanced to a first round state playoff game. The Pirates faced the Sisters High Outlaws (14-14 last year) and lost a close home game, n 41-37 at Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway. It marked their first state playoff appearance since 2011. The Pirates will certainly look much different this year without their nine graduated seniors. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the Pirates won’t enjoy another successful year.

Mooks basketball welcomes new coach

After a disappointing 2022-2023 season, in which the Mooks had a 2-10 Cowapa League w’srecord (4-17 overall) and a last place finish in the standings, they’re hoping to turn things around this year.

The Pirates, guided by Coach Erick White, will be focused on contending in the league for a second straight year and aiming to make the playoffs again. White and assistant Coach Corey Douma welcomed a group of 20 players to the first day of practice November 13, and the group will form both the varsity and junior varsity teams. “We lost a lot of seniors from last year, but only a couple of them were a big part of our major rotation,” said White, the Pirates fourth-year coach. “We had a pretty good summer league and we also played really well in some fall league games too, so I’m actually pretty excited about the season.” Three of the Pirates five starters from a year ago return this season, including senior wing Anthony Allen, junior wing Ethan Hanson and senior Ivan Dante, a 6-foot-6 post. Hanson is the only junior on the team, which also includes sophomores Clayton Dante, Jordan Lewis and Brady Douma. The senior trio of Allen, Dante and Jonathan Dana will help provided key leadership for the Pirates. Allen and Dante are expected to be the top scorers for the Pirates. Dante is expected to lead the team in rebounding

and blocked shots while he’ll also provide an intimidating presence in the post area that will be a key factor in the Pirates defensive scheme. “It was pretty cool making the state playoffs for the first time at the 3A level, but unfortunately, we lost a close game,” said White. “Overall, we definitely had a very successful season and we have pretty high hopes again this year. We have a very realistic goal of hopefully winning the league title and it’s been a very long time since that’s happened. It will be tough though since Banks is a very good team too. I feel like the two of us should battle it out for first place in the league standings.” The defending Coastal Range League champion Banks Braves had a 12-0 league record and they were 23-5 overall. However, Banks lost nine seniors from last year’s squad, which should open the opportunity for another school to make a run at the title. “Honestly, it would be a real disappointment if we don’t reach the state playoffs again,” said White. “The eight-player rotation of guys that we have played a lot of summer league games and some fall tournaments too. The five starters each averaged in double figure scoring. They’ve all been working hard throughout

the year and that’s exciting. The first day of practice was one of the smoothest ones that we’ve ever had. We’re flying through things and they’re looking ready to play basketball, so I’m pretty excited about the season.” The Pirates open their 25-

game schedule on the road with a 7:30 p.m., November 29, nonleague contest versus the Class 2A Knappa High Loggers (16-10 last year). The Pirates play their first home game December 5 versus the Taft High Tigers (7-17 last year). Neah-Kah-

Nie begins its 12-game CRL regular season January 3 on the road versus the YamhillCarlton High Tigers (7-5 CRL, 14-11 overall last year).

provide some much-needed space for community events. We are very proud to continue serving our county with quality higher education, and this project will allow us to provide even more classes and career training opportunities. The bond that was passed provided $14.4M for this

project. The College also received $8M from the Oregon State Legislature. Due to a very high bond rating and a good market, we received over $1M in additional bond premium funds. This brought the total amount available to design and construct this new Healthcare Education Building to almost $23.5M. We are getting close to completing the layout and design process which has been very exciting. We have involved faculty, staff, board members, and community members in this process. Our Board of Education will approve the final design soon. Once that is done, I will be going out into the community and sharing the building design and layout along with the timeline for completion. The community event center on the first floor will be able to be divided into four separate meeting spaces

of different sizes. As one big room, it will have a capacity of up to 360 people. The north wall will be all glass looking out onto a courtyard and the current main campus building. The rest of the first floor will contain the lab and lecture space for our new Nursing program along with EMT, Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy, and a radiation certification program that is in partnership with Adventist Health. The second floor will contain administrative offices, classrooms, and the Board of Education meeting room. We will move the driveway into the campus from its current location off of Marolf Loop Road to the south off Brookfield Ave. This will allow us to locate the new building closer to the current building with a courtyard between them.

convenient, comfortable, and accessible place for learning and community engagement. They organize major fundraising events, like their expansive book sale to support these initiatives. The community’s involvement, whether through volunteering or financial support, is a testament to the Friends’ dedication to enriching the community. The Friends of Rockaway Beach Library, since their formation in 1999, have shown outstanding commitment to literacy and community development. Their work began with repurposing a building for the library, and they have since maintained it with unwavering support. This includes recent efforts to replace the roof, revamp the heating system, and repair the ADA ramp to the library. Annual memberships, fundraising, book sales, and donations all contribute to their ability to sustain this vital community resource. The South County Library Club began supporting library services in the early 1970s and has a rich history of community service. Their

efforts include numerous fundraising activities, such as the library thrift shop and book sales, which have substantially contributed to the expansion and improvement of library services in South Tillamook County. Their dedication over the years has seen the Club manage significant projects, including the establishment and maintenance of the library, community gardens and thrift shop, showcasing the power of community involvement and volunteerism. The cities of Garibaldi and Bay City have both been important partners in providing library services within their cities. They provide space for a library collection, computers, and programming space. Through these spaces, the library can bring more materials and services to more people as well as creating a community anchor in the downtown areas. The Tillamook County Library Foundation, established in 1989, plays a pivotal role in supporting the Tillamook County Library System as a whole. Their commitment to building a better community

through learning and knowledge is commendable. The foundation was instrumental in the construction of the Main Library in Tillamook which serves as a community resource in downtown Tillamook along with a hub for materials that serve people throughout Tillamook County. More recently, they developed the Maxwell Library Park and library stage. Looking to the future, the foundation has identified six projects to develop library resources including expanding adult programming, summer reading support, teen center development, library educational assistance, college and vocational support for students, and expanding south county library services. Along with these pivotal organizations, many community organizations help to provide programming that enriches the lives of library users. The AARP tax program helps people to complete their taxes and ensures that money is returned to our community from federal taxes. OSU Extension Services and Tillamook County Master Gardeners

I will display $5 jewelry by Paparazzi Accessories throughout my downstairs, for sale. I also plan to serve commercially prepared cookies and candy for a bit of free refreshment as you make your bazaar day rounds. Paparazzi has earrings in several styles, shorter and longer necklaces, bracelets, rings and hair clips along with a handful of Zi pieces which are fancier and sell at a higher price. I hope you’ll drop by and snag a gift of bling for someone on your list or for yourself. Other events in South Tillamook County that day include St. Joseph’s Annual Bazaar, which runs from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. and is located at 34560 Parkway Drive in Cloverdale (details were part of last week’s column). Kiawanda Community Center’s Holiday Bazaar has similar hours; the address is included above. We’ll share some de-

tails about that next week. Thanks to Hebo’s own Wally Nelson for word that Tillamook United Methodist Church is hosting a Bazaar that same weekend. Theirs is planned from 4-7 p.m. the evening of Friday, December 1 and from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday December 2. The address is 3808 12th Street in Tillamook. A flyer Wally sent advertises “Lots of gift ideas, wreaths, gift baskets, handcrafts, and baked goodies (including Pick-a-dozen cookies available both days). Every year the U.S. Postal Service receives hundreds of thousands of requests from around the world for the North Pole, Alaska postmark. It is a service provided at no cost. To receive a North Pole postmark, prepare your holiday correspondence as usual, address the envelopes, seal them, affix sufficient postage on each, place them all in a larger envelope or box and mail to: North Pole Holiday Cancelation, Postmaster, 4141 Postmark Drive, Anchorage, AK 99530-9998. Fall and winter can be hard times for Tillamook County households. If you have trouble keeping the lights or heat going, Tillamook Public Utility District (PUD) has two programs that may help. First is the federal funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). It became available November 14 to qualifying households via an

application that is accessed at Community Action Resource Enterprises (CARE). Call 503-842-5162 for more information. These funds can be used for electricity ore alternative heat sources (oil, propane, wood or wood pellets). The second resource available to assist with PUD bills is their Customer Assistance Program. Donated funds (matched by the PUD) are made available at CARE ((2310 First Street, Tillamook) at 9 a.m. each Monday. Households who have received a pink “shut off notice” from the PUD may present that bill (along with other documentation) to qualify for assistance with up to 75% of the past due amount. This can be a godsend for sure. We who can afford to should be reminded to donate what we can (with our PUD payment) to support our neighbors in need. Holiday gift baskets are in the works for South County senior citizens. They need hard candy in wrappers, hot cocoa packets, kitchen sponges, Lipton soup packets, packets of instant potatoes or gravy, packets of oatmeal, packets or flip top cans of tuna fish, postage stamps, rolls of paper towels, small bottles of laundry or dish soap (from a dollar store), small post-it note pads and tins of Danish cookies. Our donations can be brought to Oregon Coast Bank; they’re located south of the flashing light on Brooten Road in Pacific City. Happy birthday this week to: Sally Aylsworth, Megan Craven, Nicole Faust, Dillon Fitch, Wally Fitch, Robert Griggs, Mike Niederer, Jesse Peterson, Ken Richwine, Amy Seymour, Sarah Jo Slavens, Kimberlyn Streeter, Vance Trent, Stewart Trost, Nicole Twigg, James Wilkinson and Krystal Wright.

ockaway Beach recently held two sessions on grant writing with Marni Johnston, Manager, Finance and Grant Administration, for the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, who shared suggestions on how to write a successful grant application. The city and chamber of commerce offer a number of grants throughout the year, some for businesses and others for nonprofit groups. So, the first step to success is to make sure you’re applying for the right grant. The year is winding to a close now, but there is still an opportunity to apply for the 2023-2024 Façade Improvement Grant through the Chamber of Commerce Web site, https://visitrockawaybeach.org/grants. This grant, open through December 15, has a total funding amount of $200,000, with individual grants up to a maximum of $20,000. The façade grant can be used for making buildings more attractive and accessible to visitors, including updating entries and bathrooms for ADA accessibility compliance. I attended the morning session, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and learned a great deal about the grant application process. Marni provided a concise tenitem checklist which should help you get started if you have your own grant proposal in mind. Here is that list, with notes. Grants are about the funder’s mission. “It’s important to think about what the funder’s mission is,” Marni explained. The Façade Improvement Grant is about the all-important first impression, how the look of a town is its best advertising. Second, ask yourself what problem you’re solving. Think in terms of expected outcomes. If you’re looking to renovate a bathroom to ADA standards, look at what that might mean: new fixtures, new access, etc.

ROCKAWAY BEACH SCOTT FISHER sfisher71@yahoo.com Next, be clear, precise, and realistic. Narrow your project down to key elements, and make a strong, researched, and logical case for your project. Most important, be realistic about whether your project can actually be done within the budget you’re requesting. Also, seek partnerships. Most funders look for projects where the lead is willing to collaborate with others in the community. One hypothetical example Marni gave: hotels offering coupons to be redeemed at a local restaurant. Looked at another way: does your project benefit others in the community? Then ask, is your project sustainable? If you are funded this year, how will you continue the following year? This might not be as important for one-time architectural improvements, but it’s still an important consideration. Is it inclusive and respectful? Many funding organizations have goals you need to consider around diversity, inclusiveness, environmental issues, and more. Another key element: develop a workable budget. Get solid cost estimates for work to be done. Some funders may want to see that you have your own resources to use as leverage. This can be in the form of cash, though many grants do not require a match. Note also that if you plan to rely on volunteers, you can value their contributions at $31.80/hr. This can demonstrate to the funders that you are putting something of value into the proposed improvement.

It’s very important to have a convincing narrative—tell a good story about what you see the grant providing for the community. Most funders look for a strong commitment to the community as a whole. Before you submit your proposal, proofread it carefully as many times as necessary. One tip: read your proposal aloud. (I find that my ears catch many mistakes that my eyes miss.) Finally, organize the application. You can download the application for the Façade Improvement Grant, which is a PDF file that you can fill in. The application on the chamber’s website has more specific information about what you’ll need to consider. And when other grants come open next year, the same will apply to them. For example, two marketing grants—one for off-season tourism funding, and one for general tourism—closed before press time. But whether you apply for a Façade Improvement Grant or have an idea in mind for the upcoming Community & Destination Management Plan projects, these suggestions will help you structure and write your grant proposal in a way that will make it easier for the grant funders to understand your project. And that’s the first step to convincing them to give you the grant.

ore than 30 interested individuals attended the Cape Meares Community Association’s community meeting on November 11. Various committees gave reports: the Lake Management Committee continues to meet with stakeholders; the Emergency Preparedness Committee is lining up classes on radios and wilderness medicine; and the Social Committee is looking for new hosts for potlucks. In the first half of 2024, potlucks will be held in January, March and on Memorial Day, and the next CMCA community meeting will be February 10. In other news, CMCA took title to the shed behind the Barbara Bennett Community Center from the Oceanside Water District. Our Signage Team has also been hard at work. This team met with Nan Devlin from TCVA for a wayfinding workshop and agreed to the following signs: 1. New entry sign to Cape Meares indicating limited parking, no services, etc.; 2. Improved signage at Bayocean entrance to beach; 3. A three-sided interpretive sign about safety, the dunes and history of indigenous peoples; 4. A sign directing people to the spit for beach access, sanitation, etc.; and, 5. An interpretive sign

Chief McBrayer delivered an excellent talk on home fire safety (a future presentation will be on wildfire safety). Thank you, Chief McBrayer, for sharing the following important tips, among others: • Have your chimney cleaned on a regular basis; • Plug space heaters directly into outlets, not into extension cords; • Have a fire extinguisher easily accessible in the kitchen (not where you have to reach across the stove to get it); • If a fire erupts in your oven, keep the oven door closed, shut off the oven and call the fire department; and, • Lit candles are always a risk.

There are new signs near the Memaloose boat launch and at the Bayocean RoadCape Meares Loop Road intersection pointing the way to the Three Capes Scenic Route (with its lighthouse and Octopus Tree) and mileage to Cape Meares and Tillamook. It is especially noteworthy that the signs emphasize in bright yellow that our village has no services or outlet. We hope that all of this will finally end our decade of giving directions to the lighthouse to all the tourists who have wandered into our village by mistake. In a last hurrah for the 2023 salmon fishing season, I want to thank all the fisherfolk (including guide Big Dave) who kept their distance on a frigid morning in late October as I fought a seal for a fish. That fish filled the last available spot for wild salmon on my 2023 tag; yippee. This month marks the first king tides of the upcoming winter season. King tides are an informal term for exceptionally high tides. The Tillamook beach tide table shows the high tides at just short of 9 feet on Nov. 25–27. Water comes over the berm at the end of Bayocean Road on very high tides (we already saw it do so on November 12), so watch from a safe distance back.

aribaldi’s Coast Guard City designation and subsequent ceremony has officially been delayed. From what little I’ve heard, the delay doesn’t appear to be due to anything in the application process. Rather, the issue is something indirectly related to the most recent potential federal government shutdown, and the planning for and fallout that occurs when such situations loom. For fear of being way too snarky, we’ll just hope hallowed institutions such as the United States Coast Guard, and the men and women who dutifully serve, can stop being affected by the “D.C. games.” I’m told a January 2024 ceremony is hoped-for but given that those end dates might run smack into the most recent Continuing Resolution that is currently keeping the federal lights on, we’ll keep fingers crossed and celebrate the day that much more enthusiastically when it does eventually come. She gets unexpected toddler visitors on a Wednesday evening and doesn’t miss the chance to engage with her youngest readers. She’s everybody’s favorite local librarian, June Ekborg: “All Tillamook County Library Branches will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 23 and 24. We’ll be open again Saturday, November 25. Garibaldi Branch Library will host our regular Saturday Game Day at 2.” Garibaldi Fire & Rescue is famous, again. The agency, specifically their 2007 Humvee Brush, was one of ten vehicles chosen to be displayed at the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office in downtown Salem.

GARIBALDI NATHAN “FINN” FINDLING finn@natfinn.com earned and beautiful sights to see. The Garibaldi Planning Commission has scheduled a Legislative training session with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and their esteemed North Coast Regional Representative, Brett Estes. The event will help bring the ocmmission, as well as city government, up to speed on to the most recent procedural processes regarding both the commission and the council’s relationship to our local laws. The additional training comes as a result of the initial training Mr. Estes gave our then-fledgling commissioners nearly a year ago. During the initial training, Mr. Estes noted processes that, speaking as Chair of the Planning Commission, I’ve never seen the Commission conduct nor could find record in the past 8-10 years. The training comes at the perfect time because last year at this time, I had all different commissioners, no full-time city manager, and the city council meetings were shut down due to well-documented council shenanigans. Now with the new commissioners showing confidence in their roles, a full-time city manager, and a healthy council not-to-mention a small cache of drafts of legislation at the commission waiting for hearings – it’s time to bring the rock to go with the roll. The training will be conducted at 5:30 p.m., December 14, at Garibaldi City Hall’s

Community Room. Council and the public will be invited to attend. Notice of potential quorums will be posted along with event details. The session will also be on Zoom. For more information, please keep checking the city website. Lastly, it’s that magical time of year marked on everyone’s calendar. Folks begin doublechecking plans and maps, confirming with friends and family that they can, thankfully, all gather again. Everybody doin’ everything they can to make those annual planned-for days as memorable and incredible as possible. Now that you’ve checked those plans, double-check those plans, now triple-check. Don’t forget the weather maps and travel apps. Now check them all, each and every one, one more time. Everything. Let’s hope everyone is happy, safe, and satiated. While those last two paragraphs apply to Thanksgiving Weekend, here in city government, they also apply to Garibaldi Days. To do it right, to get all the bells and whistles everyone expects as well as attempt to seek out new experiences to include, such an event needs to start being planned as soon as possible. We all seem to be getting better about this. In talking with the mayor, I’m told the Port of Garibaldi has already started initial plans for the 2024 event with the city, presumably, soon to follow. For all of us with turkey on the brain, have a happy, sloppy, silly, safe, and delightful Thanksgiving weekend. Be safe. Be merry. Be memorable. Be there for each other.

Neah-Kah-Nie Robotics competes in second meet

KATHRYN HARMON Library Media Specialist and Robotics Coach at Neah-Kah-Nie Middle and High Schools

KN Robotics attended their second meet of the season at Hillsboro High School on Saturday, November 9th. Many thanks to Hill High and ReVamped Robotics for hosting and letting NKN make a quick exit at the end of the competition so we could get home before it got too dark. The Menacing Muffin Dragons continue to lead the NKN teams with a 4th place finish this time around. Their ability to quickly pick up

pixels and deliver them, and skillful driving by Josiah and Jay resulted in high scores in nearly every round. Round 8 turned out to be a particularly strong round - MMD was paired with the Argonauts and together they were able to get two mosaics on the board for the win. It is a delight when NKN teams get to be in the same alliance and work together. NKN might be three teams, but it is one program, and it is important that teams work together and support each other, so, every practice ends with a loud cheer of “NKN ROBOTICS!” This year teams talked out some of the strategies they wanted to implement

including negotiating which chassis they wanted to use. Over the first 6 weeks - the robots kept shrinking as builders refined what they needed to be effective. NKN continues to have some of the smaller robots in the field. In this round that meant that the two NKN robots could place pixels on the backdrop side by side, which was a real advantage. The World’s smalllest Team also had a standout day finishing in 7th place out of 18 teams. They finally folded a paper airplane drone that is heavy enough at the nose that to fly high into the air, and then dive directly down into the landing zone.

Their first round saw them launch perfectly into the end zone - just one foot to the right of the scoring area - they went back and made some changes to their launcher and in the second round the drone launch went perfectly. Dahlia and Alex were a great drive team - and they worked together so well all day. This team had 6 rounds at competition instead of the normal 5, but they took it in stride and had a very successful day. The Argonauts rallied after a difficult first round. Karsten, brave backup driver for the day, hit the stage door. This is a normal part of moving around the

Centerstage field. However when your power button is at the exact height as the stage door bar, you have a problem. The power switch was flipped 7 seconds into teleop, cutting power to the robot for the remainder of the round. Unfortunately, the Argonaut’s alliance partners were also incapacitated and the alliance ended the round with a score of only 7 points. Directly after the match, the team immediately moved their power switch to a safer location and worked their way back to tenth place by the end of the day. I was so proud of this team - they really exhibited gracious professionalism and

didn’t get stuck in a negative mindset. They just got to work. Recently we have been very lucky to get financial support from both the Eugene Schmuck Foundation and the Tillamook County Creamery Association. We are very thankful for the support. We also have wonderful mentors and parent volunteers that make the club run so smoothly. Thank you, James Johansen, David Hummel, Kirk Dickey, Evan Solley, Tiffany Craft, and Carla Neahring. This season has been such an amazing success because of your support.

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association Hosts Accessibility Training Event

n November 6, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) hosted Ashley Schahfer of Empowering Access for an in-person accessibility education and training event. Held at Tillamook Bay Community College, the event was attended by 32 people, including county leadership, city officials, and local recreation and land managers. The two-hour training

covered best practices, etiquette, and general guidance for doing disability inclusion and accessibility work in the outdoor recreation industry and was an opportunity to gain perspective and knowledge from someone with lived experience and expertise in accessible design, living and recreating. Schahfer, who has two degrees in architecture, also has 21 years of

9055 RICKREALL RD. RICKREALL, OR 97371

lived experience in a wheelchair. An avid outdoor enthusiast, she has provided accessibility consulting to several cities, agencies and outdoor programs throughout Oregon. “Make accessibility part of every plan and every design you’re looking at,” Schahfer told the audience. “Just because I’m in a wheelchair doesn’t mean I don’t want to do all the same things everyone does.”

The training was the culmination of a $20,000 grant TCVA received from Travel Oregon. In June, Schahfer spent time with TCVA and Tillamook County Parks Department staff conducting an accessibility survey of Kilchis River, Trask River and Barview Jetty county parks. The findings were compiled into a comprehensive report that was presented to county commissioners, along with

a county facilities report created by TCVA, in July 2023. “Ashley’s work on our behalf has been invaluable as we try to prioritize projects that will improve outdoor accessibility in the county,” said Dan Haag, TCVA Director of Trails & Outdoor Recreation. A key takeaway from the training was the necessity to provide access to current information when making

an accessibility plan. That includes trail information, dock locations, and availability of accessible lodging options. “Information is so important to those with a disability,” Schahfer said. “We don’t need miles of paved trails. We just want the information so we can make the decisions for ourselves.”

“I

t was a dark and stormy night....” That may be one way to begin a story, but writers will undoubtedly find many other ways to start their submissions to the Cannon Beach Library’s Writers Read Celebration, with the theme, “Beach Noir.” In its sixth year, Writers Read offers writers of all ages from everywhere the opportunity to write on a specific theme. All written formats will be considered (essay, story,

poetry, haiku, script, etc.). The deadline for submissions is Feb. 2. Noir fiction often takes place in a dark or foreboding setting, though the tone and descriptions can be unconventional and playful. Other elements may include flashes of humor, flawed underdog characters or a crime scene. A panel of volunteers will select 10 to 12 works to be read by their authors during the celebration on March 22 in person at the library or via

Zoom. Authors are limited to three entries with a 600-word maximum per entry. Submissions should be in word format. Include a separate cover letter with the writer’s name, email and phone number. Please do not include the author’s name or contact information on the entry document so authors remain anonymous to the reading panel. Email submissions to info@cannonbeachlibrary. org or mail them to P.O.

Box 486 Cannon Beach, OR 97110. Email is preferred. The NW Authors Series Committee sponsors monthly author presentations and other events at the Cannon Beach Library. A recording of last year’s Writers Read Celebration is available on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary. org/events-and-programs/ recorded-presentations. It also appears on the library’s YouTube page.

Community Hero Award and Heartsaver Hero Award Presentation TILLAMOOK FIRE DISTRICT

he Tillamook Fire District is pleased to announce the presentation of the Fire District’s Community Hero Award and the American Heart Association’s Heartsaver Award. On Wednesday, November 1st, 2023, Tillamook Fire Chief Jeff McBrayer presented the Tillamook Fire District Community Hero Award to five(5) Tillamook residents (co-workers of the patient and 911 Operator), and the American Heart Association Heartsaver Award to eight (8) Fire Fighters and two (2) Ambulance Medics. It was a momentous occasion as these heroic individuals got to reunite with one another and the patient for the first time since the incident back in September, the room was filled with tears of joy and laughter as family and friends conversed and shared their stories. As Chief McBrayer explained during the presentation, “This is a unique situation and a real gift to be able to celebrate the survival of Jared (the patient), in my 34 years in the fire service I’ve only been able to do this about 2 to 3 times.” The Awardees are as follows: Patient’s co-workers: Stephanie Hurliman, Tiara Logsdon, Sydney Burrell, and Elly Blaser 911 Operator: Christina Maahs Ambulance Medics: EMT Tammy Martin, and Paramedic Destiny Hatfield Firefighters: Capt. Kris Davis, Capt. Darryl Hamilton, Capt. Kyle Adams, Lt. Ryan Upton, Miguel Diaz, Bradley Hamburger, Ethan Gilbert, and Koa Lyu. On Friday, Sept. 15th, 2023, the day started out like any other, it was a cool dry autumn morning on the Oregon coast. At 09:16 am Tillamook 911 Dispatch Center received a call from a local office building in downtown Tillamook requesting emergency medical assistance. The caller stated their coworker has just collapsed in the building and he is not responding and not breathing. The 911 dispatcher immediately provided crucial instructions to the caller to administer lifesaving CPR while dispatching Fire and Ambulance crews. Have recently gone through a CPR/AED refresher class, the caller along with 3 other co-workers began CPR on their unresponsive co-worker lying motionless in the lobby of their storefront office. While one of the workers began compressions the other attached the Automatic

External Defibrillator (AED) pads on to their once coworker now patient’s chest. As soon as the AED was attached it began analyzing, after a moment of analyzing the patient, the AED advised that a shock was needed. Given the nature of such a tense situation hesitation was inevitable but with direct instructions from the 911 dispatcher, still on the phone, the office workers pressed the button and administered a shock. Meanwhile, a few blocks away at Tillamook Fire Station 71 the morning was in full swing, and crews were getting ready for the day. One of the shift workers, staffed on the summer wildland grant; and an off-duty Fire Captain, spending his morning at the station, were having a cup of coffee and discussing current events. Just as the station “sleeper”, a firefighter that lives in the fire station’s quarters, was coming down to get his morning Dutch bros before starting his shift

at 11 am the tones rang through the station’s speakers to page out for immediate response medical assistance. Without hesitation the offduty captain jumped up and headed out into the truck bay to get on the truck followed by the two (2) firefighters, they were met at the truck by the shift captain who was already in the bay finishing morning truck checks. With few words they all grabbed their gear, got in the fire truck, and proceeded enroute to the scene. Upon arriving on scene, the fire truck stopped directly in front of the office, where one of the office workers was standing with the door propped open waving to signal the firefighters and direct them to the patient. Exiting the fire truck, like a choreographed dance, already with medical gloves on, two firefighters went to the side compartments of the fire truck to grab medical equipment and the other two (2) firefighters advanced directly inside to

the patient taking over CPR and beginning advanced life support measures. The ambulance arrived on scene within 5 mins and joined in the efforts to revive the patient. After approximately 40-45 mins of CPR and numerous shocks from the AED the crews successfully revived the patient. They transported the patient to Tillamook Hospital where he was further stabilized and life flighted to Portland to seek further care. It is the immediate response, quick thinking, and heroic actions of these individuals that saved the patient’s life on the morning of September 15th, 2023. The Tillamook Fire District recognizes and honors these residents of Tillamook for their selfless actions to help a fellow community member, co-worker, and friend in his time of need and allowing him more time with his family. For media or additional requests, please contact the Fire District Liaison.

Neskowin Moving Forward to Protect Watershed

ILLAMOOK COUNTY—The Neskowin Regional Water District has completed the first phase in a long-term vision of acquiring the part of the Hawk Creek Watershed surrounding the community’s drinking water source. In early November, the district, with facilitation support from North Coast Land Conservancy, purchased approximately 80 acres of forested property from private landowners, Mike and Lana Kowalski. The land sits above the intake for the district’s Frank E Clanton Municipal Water Plant at the confluence of Hawk Creek and an unnamed tributary. Because of its location, “it’s arguably the most important piece,” says Troy Trute, general manager of the district. The district has been investigating the advantages of owning and controlling the Source Water Area (SWA) for more than 15 years, an interest that picked up momentum in the

past five years because of changes in land ownership; concerns about the impacts of climate change on the water supply of coastal systems; and advisories from Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). According to Brenda Freshman, who joined the district’s board of commissioners a few years ago to help with the acquisition, all the pieces were in place. As someone who is passionate about watershed protection, she advocated to get it moving forward, even making a significant donation to the project. “The opportunity to purchase your own watershed is priceless,” Freshman says. “What you’re able to do, to the best of your ability, as a community, is ensure the quality of your water, in perpetuity.” Taking a Supportive Role NCLC became involved in the project about two years ago, although the

organization has been active in conservation in the Neskowin area for about 10 years. In a facilitation capacity, NCLC is providing a variety of administrative services, from connecting the district with an appraiser and exploring funding options to title work and writing up the deed. “We believe the drinking watershed should be controlled by the local citizens, and in this case, the best manager is the water district,” NCLC Associate Director Jon Wickersham says. “When we can marry water protection, water security, and conservation of critical habitat together, it makes sense.” Research shows that protecting watersheds has a range of benefits, such as lowering costs for drinking water treatment; minimizing damage from natural disasters; and increasing adjacent property values. Because the Hawk Creek Watershed is “available to be protected,” Trute says, it makes sense for the district

to do so, creating more certainty for the future through conservation. The first step to getting out of a hole “is to stop digging,” he says. “This is our stop digging moment.” The Kowalskis are playing an instrumental part in the acquisition process. “It doesn’t happen without willing landowners,” Trute says. Not only are they selling the property to the district, but they’re doing so at below the appraised value of the land—or, in other words, donating a portion of it. In a way, the transaction completes a full circle for Mike Kowalski, who helped to establish the water district in the 1970s. He and Lana were once fulltime residents of Neskowin. It is where they raised their family, and they maintain a second home in the area. Lana’s roots go even deeper, having spent her early childhood in Neskowin. “The land is dear to my heart,” she said. Her folks visited the coast on their honeymoon from Texas.

“They saw these trees and they were so impressed, they wanted to be part of it.” She and Mike acquired the land from her parents in the early 1970s, and it’s become part of “who we are,” she says, adding their goal has been to value, care for, and protect it. “We’ve been attempting to be good stewards of this property,” Mike agrees. “It’s given us a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment.” Now, they are passing off this parcel to serve an even greater purpose. “In the big picture, for the good of the community, it made sense to participate in the district’s wishes to obtain and preserve the watershed as best as they can,” Mike says. Lana adds, “We were happy we could do something to preserve the land around Neskowin.” A Role for Everyone in Community Conservation This acquisition is part of a broader vision: protecting the whole watershed, which spans about 1,200 acres and is divided among several

private landowners. “This is just the first phase,” Wickersham says, adding NCLC will continue to help facilitate the project through the upcoming phases. “It’s a big task ahead to acquire the amount of property that does form the watershed,” Mike Kowalski adds. “But hopefully this will be a start to that process.” Freshman’s goal is to continue inspiring and motivating the community “to keep going.” “It will move forward if people who have worked on it continue to work on it and other people join,” she says. “There’s a role for everyone in the community to help. You can connect to that meaningful contribution to humanity, in perpetuity, in your community, if you take some action.” For more information about the project, visit the Neskowin Regional Water District website at Neskowinwater.com

kay, folks. Close your eyes and take in a deep breath. Imagine the most wonderful Christmas celebration you can possibly enjoy. Take in the aroma and embrace all the joy you can receive at the Rockaway Beach Christmas Tree Lighting & Holiday Sale with your friends and family. Keep reading. You will get a taste of what is coming. Now open your eyes and let me take you there. Feel and hear the songs, sounds

and excitement of Christmas at our very own Rockaway Beach Wayside. The hardworking elves at the City of Rockaway Beach and the Rockaway Beach Business Association and many others will be unwrapping these twinkling festivities for all to enjoy. Many cheers and much gratitude to these elves for their tireless work to bring back this seasonal nostalgic tradition to our little town once again this year. On Friday, November 24, the eve after Thanksgiving

Day, the merrymaking will begin at 5:45 p.m. There will be time to savor the flavors of the ‘Christmas Season, Rockaway Beach Style. Those zippy little elves will be serving refreshments and the Salty Strings Ukulele Group of Rockaway Beach will be trimming the tree, not with lighting or ornaments but with the sweet sound of a singalong and gently strummed music. Their tinsel of caroling will illuminate the tree and your hearts. But what would a Christmas tree lighting be

without the big guy himself? Santa is taking a break from the North Pole to meet and greet all. There will be new memories and traditions made on this night. These memories will be savored for generations. You will know that the Rockaway Beach Tree Lighting Train, which runs from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach, is arriving by the faint whistle as it chugs up the tracks. After you detect the faint whistling, you will notice the clouds of steam as it approaches. It is magical.

Hold your children close. You will feel like you have stepped back in time as the train is immersed in holiday lights, Christmas cheer and most importantly, lots of families and Santa Claus. I can almost see it now. The Lighting of the Christmas Tree will be at 6:30. Folks are encouraged to bring their homemade ornaments, preferably waterproof, to bedazzle the tree. Your kiddos can write letters to Santa too. There will also be barrels for canned goods for the

food bank at the wayside. Boy, these elves don’t miss a thing. Last, but not least, the adorned stores in town will remain open through the evening. This is a great opportunity to begin your Christmas shopping in our Christmas Community, USA. I hope you enjoyed this small walk into the “Official Christmas Season, Rockaway Style.” Oh yeah, and that is a bit of “Rockaway Beach, Sugar Coated.”

Adventist Health Tillamook Launches $75,000 Fundraiser for NICU Telemedicine Robot November 16, 2023 illamook, Ore. – Adventist Health Tillamook is launching a $75,000 end-of-year fundraiser to purchase a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) telemedicine robot for providing urgent care and observation for newborn patients. The robotic assistant technology enables neonatologist providers from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children’s Hospital to support care and observation on-demand. Tested and in practice across rural hospitals in the United States for many years, this new capability will allow Adventist Health Tillamook to provide this care through an existing partnership with OHSU, at no additional cost to Adventist Health Tillamook. “Telemedicine NICU has been a game-changer for our care team and community,”

said Marian Johnson, RN, and Family Birth Place (Obstetrics) department manager at Adventist Health Tillamook. “With your help, we can keep babies in the best possible condition until a pediatric transport team arrives to take them to a higher level of care.” After success using a robot at Adventist Health Tillamook for emergency stroke care, it was determined that a second dedicated Family Birth Place robot is necessary for not only effective care, but also eliminating a situation where one robot couldn’t care for a stroke patient and a newborn patient simultaneously. The technology behind a NICU robot is a highdefinition camera connected with a powerful computer on a cart for bedside care, offering capabilities far beyond consumer products like an Apple or Samsung tablet alone, for example. “We are so grateful for the

support of our community,” said Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook. “Your donations will help us purchase this technology and provide additional OB department updates, as well as ensuring that every baby in our community has access to the best possible care.” To make a donation to the Adventist Health Tillamook NICU telemedicine robot fundraiser, please visit https://ahlink.org/ahtmnicu. Every gift, no matter how small, makes a big difference to our community. Since 1973, Adventist Health Tillamook is a faithbased, nonprofit healthcare organization that includes: a 25-bed critical access medical center located in Tillamook, Oregon; the largest hospital-based ambulance service in Oregon with four stations located throughout Tillamook

Adventist Health Tillamook Family Birthplace Nurses Heather Szekely, RN; Kayleen Bruns, RN; Amanda McDonald, RN and Marian Johnson, RN County; and rural health clinics and urgent care medical offices serving the northern Oregon coast as well as the communities of Sheridan, Vernonia, Estacada and Welches.

Adventist Health Tillamook employs over 550 associates and healthcare providers and is part of Adventist Health, a faith-based, nonprofit integrated health system serving

more than 80 communities in California, Hawaii and Oregon. For more information about Adventist Health Tillamook, visit AdventistHealthTillamook. org

Thrifty Nutritious Praiseworthy Holiday Celebrations

early every one of us will celebrate one or more of the upcoming fall and winter holidays, observances, and celebrations just around the corner. This year why not aim for praiseworthy recipes and meals that are also thrifty and nutritious as well as delicious? You need look no further. Following is a menu for a pretty easy breezy meal all the guests will enjoy. Uncle Morrie won’t need to sit in the corner with salad and applesauce while Cousins Burt and Sheila sift through each dish to avoid anything with meat, your granddaughter can’t have most grains, hubby has an Epi-pen handy in case he accidentally swallows nuts, your sister is diabetic and your old friends, the Carters, are vegan. Yikes! The scenario leaves a lot of guests in a post dinner hunger mode that might well ruin the celebration for them and for you. Turkey, ham, and brisket are not necessarily meal requirements for every

holiday meal, and no one needs marshmallows on yams, cheese and butter in every dish or layer cake for dessert. Exotic fruits and vegetables from other areas of the world might be fun for a holiday meal, but if they’re unseasonal where you live, they’ll be not only more expensive but less nutritional due to their long journey to your table. • Prepare or at least partially prep recipes up to three days ahead, and even longer for items you can freeze. • Look for what’s available and least expensive at the grocery store, including cuts of meat and eggs. • Be aware of what’s plentiful and seasonal where you reside. It will be fresher and less expensive. • When there are sales at the store on dry goods, stock up. We can always have use for canned beans, tomatoes, tuna, fruit, broth, dry milk, nut butters, corn meal, butter, vegetable oil, dry and canned milk and of course flour and baking supplies.

• If friends or neighbors have a large supply of certain ingredients or prepared foods and you have something they might use, trade. It won’t cost either of you a penny. • Ask guests to bring a holiday dish, to share, that they enjoy and possibly prefer. • Know your limitations. Base your menu on availability of your time, your expertise and whether you’ll have a kitchen helper or be the chief cook and bottle washer. • Don’t overextend yourself or your budget. • Or be even more creative and make personal pizzas with easy no-yeast yogurt crusts and toppings you have on hand. • Or host a taco party and ask guests to bring components they adore, for the taco fiesta. Have gluten free and vegan tortillas available if possible or ask guests to bring their preference. Thrifty Tasty & Nutritious Holiday Menus Whether for Thanksgiving or any other

winter meal celebration, the menu options are endless when the chef steps out of the conventional meal box and goes creative. Here are two thrifty menus that provide dietary options for all your guests. One is a quick and easy menu. The second is a menu plan for the ardent chef, on a budget, who wants to present showstoppers. Both menus are delicious and nutritious and varied to feed all the tastes and dietary needs of your guests while fitting into your budget. Mix and match or prepare just two or three of the dishes listed. It’s all about variation and deliciousness based on what works for you and your holiday crowd. EASY MENU: Stove Top Popcorn (gf/vegan) White Bean Hummus with Rice Crackers (vegan, gf) *Potato & Green Chile Stew Zesty Barbecue Glazed Roast Turkey Drumsticks Steamed Fresh or Frozen Broccoli with* Tamari aioli (veg, gf) OR Steamed Peas with mint and lemon butter (veg, gf) Cornbread (gf) with butter/

margarine Homemade Jam Chocolate Wacky Cake (vegan) & Fruit Compote Sundaes (gf) OR *Chocolate Love Pudding (gf, veg/ vegan) & *Carrot Spice Cookies (vegan) ARDENT MENU: Humble Pumpkin Soup (veg/vegan) *White Bean & Spinach Antipasto (gf, vegan) *Gardeners’ Seasonal Company Galette (vegan / veg) & Gardeners’ Seasonal Casserole (vegan / veg, gf) *Scalloped Spiced Yams & Apples with walnuts & cranberries (vegan/ veg, gf) *Turkey Meatballs Stroganoff Herbed Rice Pilaf (vegan, gf) *Damper Bread with butter/margarine *Oregon Apple Tart a la Jacques (veg/vegan) & Maple Pumpkin Pie OR *Light Lemon Cheesecake Cups (gf) & Zucchini Tahini Brownies (vegan) “Thrifty Comfort Cooking for Challenging Times”.

OBITUARIES Gary Eugene Albright Nov 22, 1949 ~ Nov 3, 2023

ust tell them I am out of town.” These are the words Gary told his family for years to use as his death notice. A generous, humble, and private man, Gary wanted no celebrations of life or memorial services.

An adventurous child, he was always looking for treasures, a habit he retained all his life. Gary

Development auditing team from 1974 until his early retirement in 1996, where he finished his career as HUD’s District Inspector General for the Pacific in San Francisco. When Gary’s son moved to Portland in 2000, Gary and Carla followed a year later, choosing to live in Rockaway Beach, Tillamook County. Gary served on a number of local non-profit boards and was the driving force for the creation and development of Kilchis Point Reserve in Bay City. He was instrumental in supplying clean water to the Watseco-Barview Water District and in bringing Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Center to Tillamook County. Gary had a long life as a volunteer, starting with his days in college as a Big Brother and continuing as a mentor to young people while director at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum from 2009 to 2020, a smart reader, and more recently as a tutor and adjunct professor of Political Science at Tillamook Bay Community College. He affected the lives of many of the youth in the county. Gary passed peacefully in

his sleep in the early morning of November 3, after more than a decade of heart-related issues. He was preceded in death by his parents and an assortment of beloved dogs. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Carla Curry Albright, and his son Warren Eugene Albright, daughterin-love Rebecca Williams Albright, and grandchildren Daisy Elizabeth and Charles Eugene. He is also survived by his siblings, Karen Longenecker (Herb), Lynn Albright, James (Cindy), David, and Daniel (Melanie) Albright. He will be greatly missed not only by his family and his treasured dog Emily, but also by his many friends, his students, and the Tillamook County community where he played such a big part.
