Tillamook County at 94 confirmed positive cases Active cases jumped to 33 in county
I
Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer
n a Tillamook County Leadership meeting Friday, Nov. 20, county leadership discussed COVID-19 cases and hospital capacity. Tillamook County Community Health Centers reported on Friday, Nov. 20, 11 new confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 during the week of Nov. 13-19, bringing the county
to a total of 94 positive tests completed. There are 33 active cases in the county. Tillamook County Health Centers Administrator Marlene Putman said there is one person who is currently hospitalized in the county. There are 109 positive and presumptive cases. There are three new presumptive cases and 15 presumptive cases total. Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has reported higher case
count totals for Tillamook County throughout the week, the health center stated. The current total is lower as several of the positive cases were residents of other counties, and therefore, the case count has been adjusted to only include positive and presumptive cases for residents of Tillamook County. There can be discrepancies as the data is collected at particular points in time. OHA reports 4,179 total tests
completed for Tillamook County. Fifty cases are being monitored: 33 active cases and 17 close contacts. There have been no COVID-19 related deaths in the county. Putman said public health locally is not sharing the area of the county or zip code of cases to keep privacy and in smaller towns. According to Oregon Health Authority, the city of Tillamook has 58 positive and
Imagination Station
New preschool offers timely option for parents T

he Imagination Station, a new preschool in Tillamook opened its doors this month as a new option in town for parents with children ages three to five years-old. Monique McEachern, who is a mother of three herself, opened the preschool in the former Blue Moon Cafe spot on the corner of Pacific and Second Street in Tillamook. McEachern has experience working both in day cares and though after school programs. “I’ve mostly done in home childcare and worked in dare care and after school programs for the YMCA,” she said. “I love working with children.” McEachern is a 2010 graduate of Tillamook High School and has children, five, seven and 11 years-old.
So far, McEachern says, she has five students in the afternoon class, but her license allows up to 15 students, and when full she can open a morning class up. “I plan to not go over 12-students per class,” she said. “Each class is three-and-a-half hours per day.” Currently class is Tuesday through Friday from noon to 3:30 p.m. But when more parents register, she plans
on opening a class on the same days from 8 to 11:30 a.m. The cost is $95 per week per student. “I focus on kindergarten preparedness,” she said. “We learn colors, shapes, numbers, letters and we also work on how to interact or play together along with task transitioning.” She says they also do arts and crafts,
painting, work with Play Dough and work with bead activities. “Today we are making turkeys with feathers and tracing our hands,” she said. She said, she sanitizes everything twice per day, and follows all guidelines issued in terms of the pandemic. “Any child five or under is not required to wear a face mask, but if any parent wants their child to wear a mask I will enforce it,” she said. The three plus hours are full of activities. She said when the children get there, she gives them time to play for a while, then they jump right into learning activities. They do the date, talk about the weather, work on writing their names, then it’s onto story time where the children can relax and listen. “We learn here,” she added. “I like structure, I’ve done day care and this is much better, because of the structured learning.” If you are interested or have questions you can reach Monique at 503812-0048 or follow the Imagination Station on Facebook.

presumptive cases, with 1-9 cases each in Bay City, Rockaway Beach, Cloverdale and Wheeler. “For those who do receive a call about a contact to a positive case, please respond to the calls from public health nurses,” Putman said. “I know there’s some concern about attributing cases incorrectly or scams calls.

he Oregon State Parks and Recreation Committee agreed Wednesday, Nov. 18, to open rulemaking on vehicle restrictions on beaches in south Tillamook County near Pacific City and north of Tierra Del Mar. The committee hosted open public discussion during the Nov. 18 meeting, during which there was unanimous support to open the rulemaking process. Katie Gauthier, government relations and policy manager at Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), read through the proposed rule change, based on Tillamook County’s request to open the rulemaking process. The proposed rule change would create a year-round closure of beach parking in the area. Working with the county, OPRD had limited vehicle beach parking from Cape Kiwanda south to the Nestucca River since July 1, Gauthier stated in her report. Vehicles involved in launching or retrieving commercial or recreational boats are still allowed to park on the beach. Gauthier said the public comment period would be open from Dec. 1 through Feb. 12. OPRD will have a website that has the maps and information and will accept public comments via email, mail and website. “We would plan a virtual public hearing and an in-person opportunity for folks to comment, whether it’s an open house or hearing, we’ll work with the county on that piece,” Gauthier said. “We’ll also work with the Pacific City Chamber on a specific business hearing to talk about the impacts to business.” Associate Director Chris Havel said OPRD’s plans for an in-person hearing are subject to health guidance and executive orders. “We are recommending to this commission to close one area to beach driving and parking,” Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto said. “That would be the Cape Kiwanda area.” Yamamoto added that this is a huge life safety issue, especially with families and children. When COVID-19 hit, the county closed vehicle beach access at Cape Kiwanda. Regarding the recommendation to restrict vehicle beach access, the county received about 1,000 comments, Yamamoto added. Groups that had concerns included paragliders, elderly and the disabled. The commissioners recommend keeping access open for the dory fleet. Yamamoto said there are plans in place for alternative parking. There is a Cape Kiwanda Advisory Committee. “Our parks department owns what we call Web Park,” Yamamoto said. “It’s a small camping facility and the county owns property behind and above Web Park, so we would trade our own parks department with property for them to continue their camping facility and we would turn Web Park into a parking facility to take some of the overflow parking.” The county is also in negotiations for the Jensen property in Pacific City. The Jensen property consists of several parcels totaling nearly six acres located in Pacific City along Cape Kiwanda Drive, bordered to the north by the Kiawanda Center and to the south by the county-owned Pacific City Turn-

C
an you believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow? That also means Small Business Saturday is Nov. 28. Always the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday is an important “holiday” to help draw attention to the importance of shopping small. Even when we aren’t in the middle of a global pandemic, shopping small is the cornerstone for a thriving community. Did you know that 92% of small business owners personally donate to charities and non-profit organizations, according to a study by Community Business Finance. Small business owners are also more likely to encourage their employees to volunteer their time and support local causes. And, $68 of every $100 spent at a local independent store is reinvested in the community, versus only $43 with a larger retailer. Local small businesses also use the goods and services of other local businesses, creating both social and economic relationships and helping the entire community thrive. I think it goes without saying that they are pretty impor-
Letters to the editor From my heart to yours Greetings Community! I have been thinking with all the effects of COVID and spending time alone, how we may find our life’s journey at its best, continually changing, challenging and often, unexpected. When my husband passed, there was an overwhelming support by Waud’s and many of you. I was at the time, in mourning and I was not completely aware of many things, I did not share a thought with you during the service, that I have regretted, but I would now like to share… Sid had asked me in 2002, where do you want to retire? I immediately responded, “Tillamook, because my friends (and my sis) are true friends and touch my heart where
I am most happy.” In the season of gratitude, I give special thanks for your continued friendship and support. May the good things of Life be yours in abundance at Thanksgiving and throughout the coming year. Blessings, Susie Johnson Tillamook
Celebrate National Native American Heritage Month November is National Native American Heritage Month. It reminds us to appreciate the rich, diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of the native people that lived in Tillamook County for thousands of years before us. The tribes of the
Nehalem, Tillamook, and Nestucca’s lands stretched from the Tillamook Head in the north to Siletz Bay in the south. Their scattered villages included Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, Sandlake, Nestucca Bay, Salmon River, and Siletz Bay. The Tillamook spoke a Coast Salish language, which the Nehalem and Nestucca used in differentiated dialects. Many local names of rivers and places were derived from their language. The Tillamook library has an extensive collection of books about these early tribes, and the Tillamook Pioneer Museum has a room devoted to examples of baskets, arrowheads, and other artifacts.
Increase in day use fees for county Problem statement: Tillamook County has experienced an increase in tourists of epic portions since the Pandemic started in March of 2020. Since many campground areas were closed or semi-closed, as they still are, it caused a concentration of people in the open outdoor spaces. This also could be influenced by the media blitz the last 3 years by Visit the Tillamook Coast. Due to this influx county services, infrastructure and law enforcement has been overwhelmed and funding is considered inadequate to deal with the issue. Although the county has acknowledged that this is a poor time to add more fees on the Oct 14th audio of the workshop. I will add it is the wrong time because of the struggles people are experiencing financially due to the pandemic, jobs reduced/ lost, children home more, lack of federal government response, stress of unusual weather events, fires in our county, political climate, and civil unrest. This has affected the

tant, and these businesses deserve our help now more than ever. COVID has been hard on us all, but small businesses have been thrown through the ringer this year and hit with unexpected rules, regulations, shut downs, and restrictions. It has been hard to keep up with all the changes, and it’s enough for anyone who owns a business to want to throw in the towel. So, while you’re celebrating Thanksgiving - with or without family or whatever that might look like for you this year - and contemplating your holiday shopping, I encourage you to make Small Business Saturday another holiday tradition. Look local first for those things on your Christmas list, and make a point to visit as many businesses as you can. Several
of our small businesses will be open offering great deals and sales to satisfy every style and every need. The Chamber office will be open on Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a prepackaged hot cocoa bar so you can come in and grab a warm treat either before you start shopping, or if you just need a pick-me-up. Or hey, use it as a bargaining chip for the kiddos and reward them with something yummy after you get your shopping done. Our hot cocoa bar is graciously sponsored this year by Umpqua Bank. We are also offering unlimited entries into the Shop Small Sweepstakes that day, so everywhere you shop you can text in your receipt or bring it by the Chamber HQ or text your name receipt photo to 503389-0631 to be validated and be entered to win the grand prize drawing. We look forward to seeing everyone who comes out to shop that day, and hope that together we can show our small business community how much we care about them and value what they do.

Tales from the Library Bill Landau Extension Librarian Tillamook County Library
T
omorrow is Thanksgiving so it is only fitting that the library column focuses on being grateful. While 2020 has brought us many unique challenges, the eternal optimist in me is determined to be thankful about the many positive events happening at the library. First of all, I am thankful that libraries even exist. One of the first postgraduate classes I attended in library school reflected on the history of libraries. Did you know early libraries were private clubs with hefty subscription fees re-
quired to utilize the books? Only the wealthy could enjoy what these facilities had to offer. Luckily, in the 1830’s, the idea that the library should be for ALL citizens gained support and eventually the first tax-supported library got its start in New Hampshire. The rest is history! Today, libraries are widely known as cornerstones of the community that open their doors for everyone and anyone, regardless of their financial status. With that in mind, I am also VERY thankful that every five years, the voters of Tillamook County continue to support and approve our property tax levy required for us to stay
in operation. While we like to say “it’s FREE at the library,” we realize property owners of the county are the ones who pay their taxes in order to make it a “free” service to be enjoyed by all. I am also thankful for our patrons who have been so understanding throughout the COVID-19 closure. Early in the pandemic, we
added extra digital options to our virtual library so patrons could enjoy streaming movies, TV shows, magazines, music, audio books and electronic books online, without even leaving their homes. We thank you for checking out more of these digital items than we ever thought possible! I am thankful the public embraced Curbside Pickup as our first step to getting our physical library items back into our patrons’ hands. We followed that up with our current stage we call Library Express, where the public was allowed inside our libraries for 15-minute visits. Unfortunately, we are stepping back to Curbside Pickup
in accordance with the governor’s mandate and the board of commissioners’ order. We hope to welcome you back in soon! I am thankful for all the opportunities to serve the public every single day. You might think people just come to the library for books or DVDs…but really, that is just the tip of the iceberg. I am thankful that every day, we help our residents with a variety of needs. We assist with genealogy research, we help people file taxes, we assist with resumes and job applications, and we teach people how to use computers…and so much more! Lastly, I am thankful for every single child I
see enter the library in the midst of COVID restrictions. The little ones in our lives need some extra care during these trying times, and what could bring them more comfort than a big pile of new library books in their chubby little hands? If you don’t know what books to choose, just ask our children’s librarian to create a grab bag of excellent selections based on your child’s interests. So, as you pass the cranberry sauce around the table this Thanksgiving, no matter how modified your holiday plans have become, just know that the Tillamook County Library staff will always be thankful for you, our library patrons.
Guest Column Michael Randall
I
n the following attempt to deal simply with great matters, I acknowledge in advance the numerous exceptions and counter-arguments to my observations about political brands, tribal membership, and conspiracy theories. From supposedly high positions of moral rectitude, many of us toss around the labels “progressivism,” “conservatism,” “capitalism” and “socialism.” We sing the praises of our favorite, but sputter saliva bits onto our device screens and onto social media platforms about the evils of other labels which seem to oppose our favorite. Most progressives think humans are, if not perfectible then vastly improvable (no doubt there), and that people or groups (we know who they are) which are pushed aside by the dominant society need to be helped to acquire a legitimate place at the table. We want them to enjoy a good life: freedom to grow and achieve their own potential, receive respect from others, earn enough resources to live a decent life without want. However, conservatives observe that progressives remain silent about making people more dependent on government support, and do not tally the costs to human growth of excessive reliance on
that support. Also, progressives never seem to express fear about the exploding national debt (don’t worry; be happy!). Most conservatives look at history and find human nature to be unchanging, a mix of many good and bad qualities, including: selfless generosity and a capacity to love others; a yen for savage violence and lust for power; plus inevitable complacency, corruption and untrustworthiness when we occupy seats of power for too long. Progressives see conservatives as those folks whose lives and incomes are both stable and adequate, so they prefer the current social and economic conditions of society that work pretty well for them (please, no fast changes that could injure my privileges). Many disciples of “capitalism” or “socialism” do not look below the surface of those labels to acknowledge that each, taken in its purest form, has a tremendous downside. Capitalism, left to its own devices with little or no regulation, results in huge inequalities of opportunity, income, education and power. Numerous such conditions are now firmly implanted in these United States: many workers needing two or three jobs to survive; an exploding homeless population; widespread descent into chemical addictions; inadequate access to lower cost health care
and education; a constant search for pleasure and freedom from obligations (a search that yields only pain). Unrestrained capitalism exploits its human population (workers and consumers), and without any forces to oppose it (strong unions, governmental regulation), over time it leaves in its wake a population mired in ignorance, poverty and servitude. Although capitalism praises free markets and competition, given a chance it will eagerly seek government subsidies for its own industry and plead for tougher regulatory control over its competitors (hypocrisy flourishes like kudzu vines in our human psyches). Unbridled socialism always appeals to the idealism of the young, and to some others who have not lived in countries where it dominates. While it promises an equitable life to people, by its nature it allows little human initiative toward growth, achievement, personal responsibility. Unmixed with capitalism as a countervailing force, it leads to social stagnation and totalitarian rule, for in all human societies there are many who seek and acquire and cling to positions of power, all at other people’s expense (see: Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.). Humanity would be wiser to realize that the best political, economic and social arrangements
are a mix of capitalism (private enterprise), socialism and a democratically elected government (get rid of the Electoral College!) that is unafraid to mediate, regulate and help. Also, regardless of current rants against socialism, significant elements of it now exist in the USA and are largely beneficial: Medicaid and other government programs to help the poor; government subsidies for farmers that allow their exports to be competitive and provide lower prices to consumers; government support for industries that experience ups and downs but are vital to our long-term national interests. Of course, the rub comes in when we face the political inability to cut off subsidies that are no longer needed, because lobbyists from every special interest group always invade legislative hallways to spread campaign cash and favors, and predict ruin if their clients’ subsidies are taken away. In the last twenty years, politics and conversations in this country have generated lots of heat but little light. Thank you, social media, for sorting us all into rival tribes, within each of which we rarely disagree for fear of being shunned. Not having to think on my own anymore truly is a gift of the digital age. Thanks to the many social media platforms at my fingertips, I feel comfy, righteous and safely anonymous
when spewing my outrage. Social media are the original digital pandemic, and have helped SO MUCH to elevate our world’s camaraderie and conversations (yes, choking sounds). Those who transmit hateful rhetoric on social media (even with: “Yeah, me too!”) only contribute to trouble and seek tribal praise. Also, those in the throes of anarchic fervor who spray graffiti, start garbage can fires and destroy other people’s livelihoods should be punished. And those adorned in “Q” shirts who believe in weird conspiracy theories should reinforce their tinfoil hats to more effectively deflect those “deep state” delta waves that invisibly coil in our brains. And to you MAGA hatters: the election was quite fair. Trump lost. Regardless that he won’t admit it and continues to manipulate you, there will be a peaceful presidential transition on January 20, 2021. Most reassuringly, the US government still knows how to remove a trespasser from federal property. There are many opportunities to serve the world’s better purposes, ignore simple labels, become free of social media addictions and find ways to get along just fine together. Those of you whom I may have offended, please come and join the rest of us, but do come unarmed.

hat makes a community resilient in times of hardship? Whether it’s a global health crisis or the threat of wildfire, our resilience as a community comes down to capacity-the strengths, attributes and resources that allow us to respond to crises and recover. The Labor Day fires demonstrated that special weather conditions, human activity, and climate change can create dangerous wildfire conditions, even on the coast. When it comes to disaster preparedness and response, the
natural resources industries that support our economy also create capacity to help protect our resources and our communities. We have local people with particular knowledge of the landscape—our forests, farmlands, and waters— and we have equipment that can be marshalled quickly. It is not surprising that when fire threatened our region, individuals who make their living in the woods volunteered to help alongside emergency managers to protect their forests and their communities, even as their own families were evacuating. Loggers and foresters formed firefighting crews that more than doubled the Oregon

for much of this cost. Tillamook County Parks was taken out of the general fund for tax revenue in 2009-10. They were told to become self-supporting. Therefore, the taxes we pay do not support Tillamook County Parks in this manner. We do pay in our property taxes for law enforcement, roads and the people in county government who make these decisions. South county voted down a slight increase in their property taxes to pay for the added need for safety and law enforcement a few years ago. Tillamook County board of Commissioners did not put out a media notice advertising that their meetings were now open to the public in person or via tele-conference. They did the minimum required by law, legal notice in the newspaper announcing a meeting and posted meeting notices on their web site. Citizen input was not asked for to address this issue. There were articles in both Headlight Herald and Tillamook County Pioneer in August which discussed the epic influx of
Department of Forestry’s capacity. Landowners and farmers sent water tankers and bulldozing equipment. For those of us that work in the woods, the Labor Day fires were a reminder that these forests are our privilege and responsibility to manage and protect.
visitors throughout the county and the problems it has created. Graphic pictures brought this message home. Each of these articles stated Bill Baertlin suggested a $10.00/vehicle day use access fee for county owned properties but did not explain how he came up with this fee. An order was signed on October 14th by Board of Commissioners to implement a $10.00/vehicle day use access fee for 32 of 37 county properties. This is to start January 1,2021. In addition, annual pass fees are also raised. More county properties are added including access to Barview County Park day use access to the bar and beach, Happy Camp beach access and Bay Ocean Peninsula. The day use fee increase is a 150% increase from 2019 and a 400% increase from the inception in 2010. The annual fee is an 83.5% increase from the inception in 2010. It started at $30.00 and will be increased to $55.00 with discounts for various groups like senior citizens, disabled, and veterans. Presently the annual fee is $45.00. These fees are to be paid if you want to walk, swim, throw sticks for your dog in the water, fish, kayak, sunbath whatever. For those people who kayak or drift boat down- stream you will pay day use
While some fire is inevitable, megafires pose a threat we cannot ignore. They endanger lives and infrastructure and compromise the state’s environmental goals. The Labor Day fires emitted more carbon into the atmosphere than the state’s energy and transportation sectors do in a year. While the effects of climate change will likely exacerbate the risk of megafires, we’re not helpless. There are things we can do to reduce nearterm risk of catastrophic wildfire. We can manage the amount of fuel in our forests through logging, thinning and controlled burns. We can maintain
access fees at your launch point and take-out point. This day use access fee is 100 % hugher and the annual fee is 83.5% higher then any county park department on the Oregon Coast and Columbia County’ day use fee. The day use access fees in every other county on the coast is $5.00/ vehicle, $30.00 annual fee, except Douglas county who charges $4.00/ vehicle. None of these counties plan to raise their fees in 2021. Oregon State Parks charge a day use fee for 25 of the 110 state parks in Oregon. It is $5.00/vehicle. The annual fee is $30, $50 for 2 years. The Tillamook Board of Commissioners say they are not trying to affect the locals, yet they have raised the annual fee as well. They want the tourists to pay for the increase money and effort it is taking to control the epic number of visitors. Tillamook county implemented a 10% Tillamook Transient Lodging tax in 2014. 30% of revenue is to be used for infrastructure, 70% for tourism related activities. Tillamook County has the 3rd largest lodging tax out of the 7 counties on the Oregon Coast. In the 10 years the day use fee has been in effect, many primitive boat launch approaches and parking
logging roads, which provide important access for firefighting operations. We can sustain timber harvests on Tillamook State Forest to create revenue for the Department of Forestry, local fire departments and public health and safety. Those who recreate on public and private timberlands should respect warnings and closures when conditions are dry. When fires occur, we can replant and help forests recover. With more people moving into forested areas, the need to manage these lands and protect all the benefits they provide will only increase. I’m comforted in the knowledge that the capacities our
lots HAVE NOT been improved i.e. graded and or graveled. A portapotty and trash can have been placed at some sites, signage indicating day use fees and a collection box. Memaloose was improved by a grant previously but needs to be dredged and the boat ramps moved further into the bay. The estimated cost is $400,000. Bay Ocean Spit which previously has no fees has been maintained by Fairchild Airforce Base in exchange for using the area for training. The road approached was graded and graveled in the last year. The port-a-potties at Bay Ocean Spit were paid this year with the TLT tax. The Tillamook County Parks department has 6 campground parks, 21 boat launches, 11- day use areas, that span 75 miles of coastline, 5 bays and 9 rivers. They along with Oregon State Parks and city parks provide the access to the natural waterways and scenic areas of the Oregon Coast which Oregonians know they have the right to use per Oregon water laws. Except for campground parks, and improved boat launches, paved parking areas the county parks provide primitive access to what nature has given us. When funds are used to improve the county facilities that generate the most income and for things like law

enforcement, the purchase of land, primitive launches’ will never pay for itself. Tillamook County Parks properties provide most of the access to the natural areas’ tourists come to visit. People who stay more than one day pay TLT tax if they are not staying on private property. In Nan Devlin’s annual report in the Headlight Herald of October 28th, 2020 she wrote tourists are staying an average of 7 days. Those tourists are then visiting our natural areas, so they are also paying for access use unless they are staying at a county park campground. Those who come for the day are paying the $4.00/vehicle fee. Boaters are also paying for boat registration fees and fishing license fees. The problem is although Tillamook County Parks fit into the criteria for TLT funding they get NO PERCENTAGE of the TLT tax revenues. They apply for grants like anyone else. TLT taxes cannot be used for law enforcement.

women in need. According to Kiwanis president Ross Tomlin, anyone who wishes to join the club in December will get their annual dues waived their first year. So it’s a great time to join a group who is so focused on local giving. Over the last three years, the local club has awarded over $55,000 in local college scholarships to Tillamook County students. They also have given over $20,000 in community giving grants to Tillamook non-profit organizations that support children. “I joined because the Kiwanis do so much for kids of our community,” said membership chair Doug Henson. “You can’t go wrong supporting our youth, they are our future and this club does so much for our kids.” You may have seen some work parties on Saturdays in the fall at Goodspeed park, because the Kiwanis Club helps keep the gardens there looking beautiful. You may also notice the club sets up at each Home and Garden Show in the Spring to raise money for KT Days their annual scholarship fundraising drive. This promotion is also supported by local radio where management at the station lets the Kiwanis Club take over for the day to help spread the word and acquire donations for student scholarships. In a time when clubs are closing around the country, the Tillamook Kiwanis is poised to grow its membership and continue to support the youth of Tillamook County.

members. It was noted that Kiwanis clubs had been a success wherever organized and a number of the most prominent men of the day are members. The club was active in the community providing much needed support and providing college scholarships to students in Tillamook. In 1925 the club started a scholarship trophy to recognize students with an outstanding scholastic record. We have the trophy still today with many names engraved that we still recognize including Flora Schild (92.25%); Mildred Berkey (95.37%); Kathryn Lamb (96.0%); Doreen Gienger (96.7%) and Jack Shuster (96.6%). Mildred Berkey known as our beloved Mildred Davy graduated from THS in 1928. Doreen Gienger may be the sister of long time member Ron Gienger and Jack Schuster also known as “Smilin Jack” the last name on the trophy graduated from THS in 1942. The trophy was rediscovered around 2009 after being found in the archive room at THS The Club sponsored the Tillamook High School Key Club in 1957. Key Club was formed as a high school service club. It was also an all male organizations at first. The first president of the THS Key Club was Bob Creech, who continues today as a member of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook. Key club has been active at THS ever since with a membership count usually over 40 students. In 1960 the club started a scholarship drive to provide college scholarships for graduating high school seniors in Tillamook County. The scholarship drive was
Kiwanis Club of Tillamook History The Kiwanis Club of Tillamook was organized and sponsored in 1922 by the Kiwanis Club of Portland. The club charter was granted on December 15, 1922 but not presented until March 3, 1923. At that meeting a large gathering of Kiwanis members and friends (about 200) gathered to recognize the new club and receive its charter. The original charter is still on display in a frame attached to the Kiwanis lectern. The original purpose of the club was to promote the business and civic interests of the community and to promote better acquaintance among businessmen. The first officers of The Kiwanis Club of Tillamook were F. A. Betz, president; George Harness, vice president; 2nd vice president, B. C. Lamb; treasurer Rollie Watson. At the time it was a rule of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook that only two men from any business classification could become n See KIWANIS, Page 8

H
ubert Douglas “Doug” Wills passed away on October 26, 2020 in Eagle Point, OR. A long-time resident of Bay City and Tillamook, OR, he was born in Oklahoma City, OK on November 8, 1941 to Hubert and Zila Wills. He was raised in Dallas, TX, and also lived in California, Michigan, Florida and Colorado before coming to Bay City. He had one brother, Donnie Wills, now deceased. Doug married Nancy Carol Kenyon in 1966, and they raised three sons, James, Randy, and Ashley, and two daughters, Angel and Christy. His wife Nancy passed away in 2016. Doug was extremely accomplished in construction work of all kinds. He could build a house from ground up, including foundation, framing, plumbing, electricity, sheet rock, roofs, and especially interior carpentry. He told customers that he was an interior carpentry finisher for 45 years. Prior to construction work, he served in the military. Doug was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, Tillamook Lodge. During 2016 that Lodge elected him Member of the Month for his services.
Doug’s hobbies were primarily motorcycles – Honda and Harley – and an annual Oregon event called the Pacific Primitive Rendezvous. Many of Doug’s and Nancy’s vacations involved Honda or Harley roadtrips, which they both enjoyed - Nancy called herself “Honda Mama”. The annual Pacific Primitive Rendezvous Event celebrated the clothing, food, and activities of Mountain Men in the early 1800s. Doug was known for the special foods he brought, most of which were created by Nancy. Participants dressed in period appropriate clothing, participated in period appropriate activities, traded, and lived in T-pees and other types of primitive lodging during the event. Lodging ranged in number anywhere from 300 to 700 per event, which included 1200 to 1300 people. Doug was elected the Booshway (head man) on several occasions to oversee the staging of these events. Smaller Rendezvous Events were also held each year, and in some years Doug attended them as well. Each attendee had a special Rendezvous nickname - Doug’s nickname was “Snappin’ Turtle”, derived from an incident involving him and a very large snapping turtle on the roadways of Florida. Doug is survived by his sons and daughters listed above. Doug will be tremendously missed by his friends and customers who became his friends because of his exquisite, precise woodworking, his great sense of humor, and his friendly and caring personality

He designed the DD-963 conceptual layout of our first nuclear destroyer, the logo of which now hangs in the Halls of Congress. His work history also includes
projects for Romar Engineering Industries. Artistic and creative always, John used his talents and love of wood and craftsmanship in working on custom homes and buildings (Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Ice Capades Headquarters in Hollywood, and Houses of the Future in both Yorba Linde and Palm Springs), many of which received awards in national magazines. He moved to Portland where he designed and built homes and condos. He worked for Hoffman Construction Precision, Taisei, and RAS. His professional education included both a degree in Architecture and a degree in Electrical Engineering. Known for his woodcarving of Carousel horses and wild Mustangs which were loved by all, his work was displayed at the Hobart Gallery in Ferndale, California. Tom Brokaw and others owned his work. His other passions were reading the “Master and Commander” series by Patrick O’Brian, and watching old movies and football games. John lived his Christian principles and devoted himself to his wife, children and grandchildren. He was a man of integrity, his honesty known by all. He always said you gave no quarter and you take no quarter. He was loved and will be missed. Gift requests should be donated to local food banks to help those in need in John’s memory.

Cliff and Carey traveled the world together as they shared a desire to see & experience other cultures and historical sights. He loved music and would often be found with his iPad enjoying music by Queen and Cat Stevens. Most of all, our Papa was a proud husband, father and grandparent and was selfless in his great love to his family and 5 grandchildren. He was known by all as being gentle and kind, with a meticulous attention to detail, passion for knowledge, and always strove to do the right thing. In addition to Carey, Cliff is survived by his brother Greg Collard; daughter & son in law Jaime & Justin Perryman and grandchildren Madison & Blake; daughter and son in law Kelly & Ryan Thomas and grandchildren Kaelyn, Nolan & Jaron; and his new Chocolate Lab puppy, Mocha. In lieu of flowers or donations, Cliff would have loved contributions be made to the Yaquina Bay Optimist Club or Newport Boosters.

Donald Lynn Sutton 1949 - Nov. 18, 2020
In loving memory of Don Sutton
D
onald Lynn Sutton was a bright light to everyone he met on his journey of life, which spanned 71 wonderful years, and ended on Nov. 18, 2020. He was born to Charles and Dorothy Sutton and graduated from Easton High School in 1967 with his high school sweetheart Peggy Rae Coffey. They married in 1968 and recently celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary. Don found a career in retail sales that matched his love for meeting new peo-
ple and bringing them into his life. He retired in 2016, and fulfilled their lifelong dream, of setting down on the river with Peggy. He loved fishing and hunting, but adored his family, which always came first. Three beautiful grandchildren and their many activities kept “Grandpa Don” busy late in life, and they were always his priority. Don was preceded in death by his parents and brother Dennis. He is survived by his wife Peggy Sutton; son Robert Sutton and wife Kim; daughter Rebecca Smith and husband Wayne; grandchildren Anthony Smith; Sam and Olivia Sutton; sister Debbie Bowen; brother Mike Sutton; brothers and sisters in law Eva Gray, Carol and Kevin Fuson, Cheryl Sutton, and Anna Sutton; several other nieces, nephews, other relatives, and countless friends.

J
oyce Gross, a resident of Tillamook,OR for 70 years, passed away peacefully in Ellensburg, Wa. November 13, 2020, at the age of 93. Joyce was born July 15, 1927 in Straight River Township, Minnesota to Abe and Edith Thompson. She attended school in Park Rapids, Minn. and received her teaching certificate from Bemdji Teachers College. At 19 years old, Joyce started her first teaching job in a one room school in Wolf Lake, Minn. This was a community of families from Finland and the children she taught spoke little or no English. Joyce married Arthur Gross in December 1947 and they moved to Westport, Oregon in 1948 where they started their family. In 1950 they moved to Tillamook and Joyce started substitute teaching in Bay
City and Tillamook Catholic elementary schools. This lead to a full time teaching position at Tillamook Catholic Elementary. She taught nearly 30 years in both the Catholic and public school system. Joyce had a passion for reading and returned to Monmouth College where she earned her Masters Degree in Remedial Reading. For several years she worked one on one with students who needed extra help with Reading., She finished her years before retirement at Liberty Elementary teaching fourth grade. Retirement did not stop her teaching. She opened her home to privately tutor students in need of extra help, Remembering stories from teaching days or meeting a student while shopping or at a restaurant always gave her great joy. She was proud of the fact that she taught more then one generation in a family. She never lost her love for reading and spent many hours reading. In the last few months when it was difficult to get around she read most of her waking hours. Joyce will always be remembered not only for her love of teaching but her willingness to help others. She was always quick to
offer a helping hand when a neighbor was in need, she cooked many meals and delivered them to families facing a difficult time, she and Art helped many immigrant families get a new start in this country. The family would like to thank Kathleen Walker and Bonnie Kephart for the care they provided so she could stay longer in her own home. They would also like to thank Kilchis House and Hearthstone Cottage, Ellensburg, Wa. for their compassionate care of Mom. Art preceded her in death after 62 years of marriage in 2010 and she is survived by her children Joe Gross and wife Kathy of Beaverton, OR, James Gross, Portland, OR Ann Strelow and husband Bruce of Spokane, Wa. Marlene Drew and husband Guy of Roslyn, Wa, Kathleen Walker of Gearhart, OR, 11 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. Due to COVID-19 restrictions a private internment will be held at Willamette National Cemetery, Portland, OR. In lieu of flowers the family welcomes any donations to Tillamook Public Library in Joyce’s name.
Representative-elect Suzanne Weber responds to Gov. Brown’s freeze order In a press conference on Friday, Nov. 13, Gov. Kate Brown ordered a statewide “freeze,” to combat a recent surge in COVID-19 cases across Oregon. Restrictions include limiting restaurants to take-out and delivery food orders only, limiting Thanksgiving dinner and other private gatherings to six people or fewer from no more than two households, and closing some businesses entirely, such as gyms and recreational facilities. “COVID-19 is a serious health threat and we all need to do our part, but once again all of Oregon, and especially small business owners, are being saddled with some of the most restrictive rules in

America,” said Representative-elect Suzanne Weber. “I certainly understand that some hotspots in the state require additional measures, but to impose these restrictions statewide will destroy businesses, destroy families and ruin the lives of countless people in rural Northwest Oregon.” Weber stated that, because the number of active cases in rural Northwest Oregon is low, businesses there have been operating safely should be allowed to continue to do so. “We can address this virus effectively by allowing counties with low infection rates to keep our businesses open and operating safely, while also immediately
taking up liability protections for business owners which were proposed by Democrats and Republicans in the last session,” commented Weber. “If the governor insists that this ‘Freeze’ order is the only way to address the current COVID-19 surge, she also needs to provide a plan to compensate business owners she shuts down.” Representative-elect Weber is the mayor of Tillamook and a former elementary school teacher. She was elected on November 3, 2020 to represent the people of rural northwestern Oregon in the Oregon House of Representatives.

I
t is with great sadness that we announce the accidental death of Rob-

A celebration of his life will be held in late February 2021
Library to remain closed during Two-Week Freeze Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners agreed during an emergency meeting Thursday, Nov. 19, to keep the Tillamook County Library closed to the public and remain open for curbside service only. The board of commissioners had passed a board order during an emergency meeting Tuesday, Nov. 17, closing certain Tillamook County offices to the public as part of Gov. Kate Brown’s Two-Week Freeze. Brown had announced on Friday, Nov. 13, a statewide Two-Week Freeze that began Nov. 18 to halt the rapid spread of COVID-19. One of the measures requires all businesses to mandate work from home to the greatest extent possible and close offices to the public. Joel Stevens, Tillamook County Counsel, said on Nov. 13, the county received the governor’s press release about mandates that would be coming in an executive order. The executive order had not been released at the time of the county’s emergency meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 17. “The board signed an order implementing the guidelines that were recommended by the health department and mentioned in the governor’s press release,” Stevens said. “Later that afternoon, an executive order was released by the governor’s office.” The executive order was discussed briefly in Wednesday’s board meeting, Nov. 18. This board chose to mirror the requirements in the executive order. “The library has a game plan that I believe is in compliance with the executive order,” Stevens said. The Tillamook County Library had a plan to follow the order to the greatest extent possible,
while remaining open to the public through their express service. “They just have a trickle of people come in for express service,” Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said. “What that looks like is there are very few people coming in, they’re fully masked, they’re cleaning very regularly, people are only allowed to stay in the building for about 15 minutes to pick up a book and check it out themselves.” Extension Librarian Bill Landau said the express service allows people not to have to make an appointment to come in. People are in and out and have been respectful of the 15-minute time limit. “The public comes in and they can scan their own library card either with our self-check kiosk or at the branches we have it set up, they can scan their own card, put their books on the pad, and pick them up,” Landau said. “There is nothing that is touched between the staff and the public.” Library Director Sara Charlton said the library has been very slow. The staff is thanked every time people come in, she added. “At the main library, we upped the air flow on our main furnace,” Charlton added. Commissioner David
Yamamoto said everyone should take a step back and understand why the governor carried out her executive order. When the county put the board order together for their emergency meeting on Nov. 17, they stated the library could remain open for curbside service. Yamamoto said the options the county provided in the board order still gives people the opportunity to get their books without going into the building. Commission Chair Bill Baertlein said other libraries in the state are closed and not offering curbside service. He was also concerned about putting employees at risk. Commissioner Mary Faith Bell said she does not support the governor’s onesize-fits-all approach and is hoping for updated metrics in two weeks. She added that some of the bigger libraries have not opened since the spring because they are not allowed to because of their county’s high number of COVID-19 cases. “I am hoping we are able to utilize metrics, not a one-size-fits-all,” Yamamoto said.

over 470 Tillamook County High School graduates. As with many organizations, Kiwanis was a male only club. However in 1987 the first women were installed as members of Kiwanis Clubs across the country and world. The first female Kiwanis member was Mildred Davy. In 1993 Judy Gollon was elected as the president of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook. Since then many women have served as president of the Club. Today, anyone who lives in Tillamook County
can become a member of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook, you just need to have a desire to serve the citizens of our county. In 1999 with Jerry Underwood as club president, the club peaked with 124 members. Community service is the cornerstone of the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook. We continue to support many service projects in the area including: Road Cleanup on Highway 101 South; Maintaining the Mildred Davy Rose Garden at Goodspeed Park; June Dairy Parade
Marshalling; Sponsoring THS Key Club; Christmas Baskets for Needy Families; Diaper Drive for Healthy Families; Peanut Butter Drive for Summer Lunch Programs and more. Eight years ago we started our Community Giving program. We raise funds throughout the year and in August we send out a request for non-profit agencies in Tillamook County that provide services to children to apply for the grants. The applications are then reviewed by a com-
mittee of Kiwanians from our club and are presented to the non-profit agencies in September. Since the inception of our Community Giving program we have awarded nearly $100,000 in grants to local non-profits. Some of the grants over the past few years have been awarded to the YMCA, North Coast Recreation District, Food Roots, Garibaldi Museum, Tillamook Anglers Fishing Day, Healthy Families, Habitat for Humanity and many others. In 2018 our
Kiwanis Club formed the Kiwanis Club of Tillamook Foundation. We did this to better fulfill our mission of “Serving the Children of Tillamook County”. The foundation is a registered IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Approaching our 100th anniversary of service in Tillamook County, we plan to continue our goal of using our funds to fulfill our mission of “Serving the Children of Tillamook County.
contacting, adding additional volunteers, sending messages, reminding people to self-isolate or quarantine because they’ve been a close contact. In Tillamook County, we can manage it right now.” Putman asks people to consider the travel advisory when planning for the holidays. “The advisories urge against non-essential out of state travel,” Putman said. “They ask people to selfquarantine for 14 days after arriving from another state and encourage residents to stay local.”
Adventist Health Tillamook President Eric Swanson said the hospital has plenty of personal protective equipment in supply. There are 32 adult ICU beds in the region, which includes Tillamook, Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties. The ICU beds are significantly down. Adventist Health continues to watch the regional bed capacity.

Bri Goodwin, Oregon field manager of Surfrider Foundation, said Tillamook County’s announcement of raising parking fees for Tillamook County parks and day use areas to $10 made them take a step back. Goodwin asked for OPRD to include stakeholders for the beach parking issue, including residents and business owners. Lisa Macy-Baker, chair of the Surfrider Foundation in Pacific City, said the last 10-20 years highlight the need for
change. Surfrider hopes the state and county will implement parking off the beach. They also hope OPRD will look at what the county is doing with the $10 parking fee. The commission agreed to open rulemaking. The public comment period will be open beginning Dec. 1 on oregon.gov/oprd

Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer John Kunkel, new interim city manager for Manzanita City Council, began his position on Oct. 19. The city had agreed on a contract for six months, during which Kunkel and staff will look for a permanent city manager. Kunkel was chief of police for 19 years for the city of Exeter, Calif. and has a Bachelor’s degree in Administrative Justice. He was the city manager for the City of Exeter before moving and becoming the city manager for the city of Buellton from 2009 to 2013. Regarding his sudden resignation from the City of Buellton, Kunkel said there was a new city council, and in California, that you have to wait at least 90 days before changing city managers. Kunkel said it was after the 90th day mark that he announced his resignation. He added that both he and the new council felt they were not on the same page. The previous city council had awarded Kunkel a four-year contract a few months before his resignation. Kunkel and the new council agreed to part ways and Kunkel resigned. “When you’re city manager, you serve the pleasure of the council,” Kunkel said. Kunkel also has experience as an interim city manager for the city of Kerman, which became a full time city manager position. He retired from this position in November of last year. Kunkel said Manzanita

Pacific City
John Kunkel is a town where everyone knows each other. He believes the city has a very qualified city council. “It’s been very good,” Kunkel said of his experience in Manzanita so far. After Kunkel’s contract ends, he plans to move back home to California, where his children and grandchildren live. After the first of the year, the city will make decisions on seeking services or working in-house for the search for the new permanent city manager. Right now, Kunkel said the city is working on a new resolution for the state of emergency. This includes the rule of all indoor social get-togethers capped at 10 people. The city is also
implementing a mask zone regardless if an individual is indoors or walking outside. While working on other projects, Kunkel also continues to work on the day-to-day operations of working for the city. “We’ve got a great staff here,” Kunkel said. Due to COVID-19, some staff members are working from home while others have reduced hours in the office. Kunkel said he enjoys his time in Manzanita. He has been visiting with extended family during his time here. Send comments to: headlightreporter@countrymedia.net

Stress coping strategies during and after the pandemic Janeane Krongos Prevention Specialist Tillamook Family Counseling Center
Y
ou are not alone if you have been feeling more stressed than usual. This additional stress is likely a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. One way to cope with stress is to utilize stress coping strategies. These strategies can be used as a tool to manage current and future stress that you may encounter. Here are five coping strategies that may help you manage stress: Journal writing: Journal writing can help to reduce stress levels. This coping strategy can be done in many ways, such as: recording daily events, creative writing, gratitude journaling, goal tracking, or
journal prompts. If you are looking to learn about other ways that you can document what you are experiencing during this time, I encourage you to read this article https://www. nytimes.com/2020/04/15/ learning/12-ideas-for-writing-through-the-pandemicwith-the-new-york-times. html. Physical activity: Physical activity helps your body release endorphins which can make you feel good. Individuals of all ages can benefit from physical activity. To ensure physical activity will be sustainable in your life, choose exercises that you enjoy. If you are looking for some ideas of how to be active, I would recommend visiting the Tillamook County Wellness blog at https://tillamookcountywellness.org/
Janeane Krongos move-well/. Breathing Exercises: Breathing exercises are a good way to lower stress. These exercises are great because you can do them almost anywhere. To learn more about breathing exercises, I recommend this article https:// www.washingtonpost.
com/archive/lifestyle/ wellness/2000/05/02/ breathe/16c8ec0b-71e747ec-8c88-4f6df47b896f/. Do something you enjoy: Take time each day to do something that you enjoy. Try scheduling enjoyable activities the same way as you would schedule an appointment. If you are interested in learning about hobbies that lower stress, I recommend this article: https://www.verywellmind. com/top-stress-relieverhobbies-3144592. Have a conversation: Having conversations with others can allow you to get emotional support. You can connect with anyone that you trust, such as family members, friends, or a faith leader. If you do not feel comfortable opening up to someone you know, you may want to consider
speaking with a health professional. A health professional is trained to help a person improve physical or/ and mental health. Examples of these professionals include: physician, nurse, and counselor. If you would like to learn more about health services in Tillamook County visit: https://www. tillamookheadlightherald. com/community/2019-bestof-health/article_07179d024fee-11e9-ab92-dbc82ba900e2.html. Another way to get emotional support is through a support group. These groups are facilitated by either peers or health professionals. These groups allow participants to participate in whatever way they feel comfortable. Support groups are ideal for people who want to talk with individuals that have similar lived experiences.

Gardening Matters
Give thanks for composting F
irst, allow me to wish all my readers a most wonderful Thanksgiving. I do give thanks for all of you who have been following my column for more than 16 years. It will be a strange Thanksgiving this year for sure, but everything has been strange this year. The saddest part will be not being able to celebrate everything we are thankful for with family and friends. So reach out to them in different ways: Zoom or Skype, call them on the phone, send an e-card, or – wonder of wonders – send them a real, honest-to-goodness “thank you” card! Now, I promised a column on composting, so here we go. You may ask “Why should I compost? What’s in it for me?” That’s easy. Composting can save you money. Your garbage bills can be reduced and you won’t be purchasing bags of fertilizer or soil amendments. But there is so much more. It will save water by helping the soil hold moisture and generally improves the condition of your soil. Its good whether your soil is clay, sandy or in-between. Composting has been called “nature’s way of recycling.” Think of all the leaves that fall on the forest floor and decay, putting nutrients back in the soil. That’s what we are doing when we compost but we have so much more material to work with than just leaves. There are a couple of composting systems. You can buy heavy-duty plastic compost bins that are rodent-resistant. These have lids, floors and are without any ways for rodents to enter. (There should be some sort of way for air to enter to help the breakdown, but these shouldn’t be larger than ¼”.) These bins work best with fruit and vegetable plus yard trimmings. But they can also be used just for yard debris. If all you have are yard trimmings, you can go with an open-bin system. It can be a series of bins or just a large pile. This type of composting does need to be turned and kept moist for the best breakdown. My favorite system for composting is a worm bin. I have a three-tiered one that I periodically rotate. The worm castings are great compost, nicely broken down. Plus there is the added benefit of the “worm tea” that I draw from the bottom of the tiers and dilute to feed my orchids and garden plants at a ratio of 1 part “tea” to 50 parts water. So you don’t need much! The most important mixture is to combine brown matter, green matter, air and water. Browns are the dried, woody materials like pruned and chopped branches, pine needles and fallen leaves. Most sawdust is good, too. Greens are moist, green materials like grass clippings (if you didn’t use weed killer on your lawn), fruit and veggie cuttings, tea bags, citrus rinds, and even coffee grounds. By taking a pitch fork
and turning the pile once a week or so, you will be aerating the pile. You can also set up three bins sideby-side and move a pile down the line, turning it as you go. Water is essential but not too much. In the end, the compost should have the consistency of a wrung-out sponge. A good watering once a week will do in the summer. No need to bother in the winter and you might even want to place a tarp over it so it doesn’t get too soggy. “Hot vs Cold? What does that mean?” Well, basically, hot composting will break the pile down faster. But the pile needs to be no more than about a cubic yard (3’ x 3’ x 3’) in size. Heat will kill weed seeds and some plant diseases, but heat is not necessary to break down the pile. To get the pile “hot” you will need to turn it often and make sure it is watered and aerated. If you see steam rising from the pile, you will know it is composting properly. A hot compost pile takes about 3 to 8 months to break down. It can be “Cold composted,” which only means it takes longer. Either way is good. I usually wind up cold composting just because of time. Turning the pile often and keeping it watered properly will reduce the incidence of critters trying to nest in it. My compost
pile is in a far corner of the garden, out of sight, so I am not as concerned about rodents. And I have a cat. That helps, too. A cold compost pile will take 12 to 18 months to break down. There are some things that should never go into a compost pile, be it hot or cold. Meat of any kind, bones, salted items, dairy products, grease or oils, sawdust from treated lumber or plywood, human, dog, cat, pig or bird feces, anything with pesticides on it, and diseased plants (in cold piles). After the pile has broken down, let it sit for another 4 to 8 weeks to allow it to “cure.” Using uncured compost may harm plants and especially seeds. You will know when it is ready to use when you turn the pile and it no longer heats and looks dark and crumbly.

Fenceposts appy Thanksgiving, one and all! It may not be a traditional celebration, but if you are reading this, you are still alive and kicking, and that’s something to be thankful for. We can also be thankful for the promising results from some of the COVID vaccines. Speaking of which, we have had our first case of COVID in our family. One of our grandchildren tested positive for the virus recently. She is a college student at Grand Canyon University in Arizona. She has had friends and even roommates test positive,
so we figured it was just a matter of time. Fortunately, she has mild symptoms and is recovering well. We have no plans to get together in person with family at Thanksgiving this year, given Oregon’s two-week “freeze,” so we won’t be exposed. Our celebration is going to be virtual. Hope you, too, have figured out a way to still connect with family and friends. What stormy weather we had, right during the king tides! It was quite the sight to see, huge breakers combining with tides of more than nine feet. Seasons Kaz Sparks posted a video

appy Thanksgiving, dear readers! I’ve learned, too late, of a handful of take-out Thanksgiving options, but each of them needed more than a day’s notice to prepare turkey and the trimmings for us. I hope that you have a happy celebration, within the parameters required during Covid season. Maybe there will be more options and better notice for the holidays still to come. Pleas contact me, using the information published near my photo in this space, if you know of carryout options specifically Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza or New Year’s Eve. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) invites Oregonians to head outside for some fresh air this Friday. OPRD will

hanksgiving is tomorrow! Whoa! Slow the horses down! Dale, Amber and I are having a very, very quiet Thanksgiving here. No pomp and circumstance. We are just having a traditional turkey dinner at the Brosius house with lots of yummy leftovers. We will be eating for weeks on them. Plus, I plan to boil the bones for great stock for my instant pot. I see lots of delicious dinners in our future. So, what’s going on in town you may ask? As we all know, things may change from the time I write my column to when it is published, so bear with me, I will tell you about all the plans going on up to this date. First of all, be courteous of all the folks around you. Protect them with your ac-

elebrating a month of thankfulness: Happy Thanksgiving! I used to think of November as the month to prepare for the month-long celebration of Christmas. After all, Thanksgiving is only a one day event; we don’t exchange gifts, celebrities don’t release their new Thanksgiving albums, and there is no Thanksgiving eve service, and I wish there were. Sometimes I become overwhelmed by the pandemic, people out of work, the great suffering surrounding our neighbors, friends, and family. Sometimes inside of my head I want to run into the street screaming and pull my hair out. But I don’t. Thank goodness

tions. We really would like to keep our community safe. If you see too many folks in a business, stand back before you enter. It is not worth risking your life or their life. But, on the positive side, find joy in all you do. Smile a lot, your eyes will show it. Be pleasant and realize that this too shall pass. There will be no citysanctioned events this year. The gift fair and lighting of the Christmas tree ceremony are cancelled. There will be a lighted tree at our wayside. And yes, bring your ornaments to decorate it. There are a lot of families that make that a yearly tradition. There just won’t be a gathering when it is lit. But, there is a bright light in our town on Thanksgiving Day. As a fundraiser for the Rocka-
Kin wouldn’t let me. In times like these it is hard to have a thankful heart, a heart of gratitude. A few years ago a friend gifted me with a book, “1000 Gifts” by Ann Voskamp. It’s about in times of great loss, heartache or fear, finding the blessings, however small, in your life every day. There is a song I learned at a very young age in Sunday school: “Count your Blessings and Name them One by One”. To this day, at 74 years old, I still get great comfort from those words. Every November I reread “1000 Gifts”, so today I am writing to you with a grateful heart for my family, friends, and for my community. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere
showing two huge swells breaking over the berm at the northern beach access. Water ran clear past the intersection of 4th NW and Bayocean Road, up Bayocean Road and eventually ending up in Cape Meares
Lake. Another neighbor reported on Nextdoor that he had seen multiple groups of people standing on the berm at various times during the king tides and some did get hit by a surge, but fortunately no one appeared to be hurt. Several weeks ago, I mentioned a new surf warning sign in that parking lot; perhaps people are not stopping to read it. It’s important information; last year, a Cape Meares resident broke her leg in that same location, swept off her feet by a similar surge of water and debris. The big storm waves blew apart Odie, our (no
longer) odiferous whale. Bones are scattered and the ocean is reclaiming them. The landscape of our beach is constantly changing. We walked on the beach at low tide recently and found miscellaneous “treasures”: a shovel likely used for ice on a fishing boat, a rattle with a green frog at one end and a nice agate. Nothing like years ago, when we would find a rare glass float from time to time. Still, a bracing walk in the cool air and light drizzle always does one good. Not to mention it being a socially distanced activity!
Here’s a light note for you: Spike Klobas is teaching her kittens to ride a skateboard in the house. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall there! The Christmas season is fast upon us…and coming early to Cape Meares. Tom and Molly Lust set out to lift morale by decorating their house on 5th St. NW with Christmas lights now. They succeeded! The multicolored lights on their three-story home are so festive and uplifting. Now, that’s a safe way to bring Christmas cheer to the neighborhood. Happy holidays!
“In this unconventional year, we feel it is especially important to honor this tradition as thanks to Oregonians for supporting us through our toughest times.” Thanksgiving weekend falls squarely within the Governor’s Two-Week Freeze, Nov. 18 – Dec. 2. Accordingly, OPRD directs people to limit gatherings at parks to six people and two households. This is in addition to longstanding direction to stay local, wear face coverings and maintain a 6’ distance from other visitors. Remember that Art Accelerated will hold their monthly Art walk on Saturday. The fun free event is planned from 1-3:00 p.m. in downtown Tillamook. Each month a variety of
merchants host local artists in a dynamic and evolving art show. This month’s participants include: Roby’s Furniture, 1901 Main Avenue, Kristi Lombard Pottery, 115 Main Avenue, #1, Madeline’s Vintage Marketplace, 2106 2nd Street, Re-Current 2015 2nd Street, Salty Raven, 1908 2nd Street, and Lucky Bear Soap Company, 1907 2nd Street. Next month’s Art Walk is planned for December 19. For more information visit artaccelerated.org. Tillamook P.U.D. will hold a Drive-through Customer Party from 3-5:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 3 at their office, which is located at the corner of 11th and Pacific Avenue in Tillamook. There will be holiday cookies and a bat-
tery back-up LED light for each vehicle, plus presents for the kids, if any are on board. Speaking of our young people, remember that Nestucca Valley Backpack Food Program cannot hold a fundraiser this year and must raise $20,000 to meet increased demand. If you are able to donate, please do. You can do this online at nvbackpackprogram.org/ or mail a check to Nestucca Valley Backpack Food Program, P.O. Box 793, Pacific City, OR 97135. Donations are tax deductible; a receipt will be sent by mail. Bay Shore Family Medicine provides walk-in flu shots from 8:30 a.m. until noon on Mondays. They’re located at 38505 Brooten Road. Appointments may be scheduled to received
flu shots Tuesday through Friday; call 503-965-6555. There’s also a walk-in flu shot clinic weekdays from 8:30 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. (with a thirty minute late start on Wednesdays) in Tillamook. It’s offered at Tillamook County Community Health Center, 211 8th Street. Flu and pneumonia vaccines will be available at both locations. We’re asked to wear masks and bring our insurance cards if we have them. No one will be turned away for inability to pay. Happy birthday this week to: Megan Craven, Kyleigh Eckhardt, Dillon Fitch, John Griggs, Jerid Inman, Ken Richwine, Aiden Smith, Kimberlyn Streeter, Vance Trent and Stewart Trost.
There is also a 2020 Rockaway Beach Annual Christmas Decorating Contest. Yes! A bit of Christmas cheer in the middle of a pandemic. This contest is for both commercial and residential. You can get the entry forms at local businesses and online at the Rockaway Beach Community Group on Facebook. Entries must be turned into Etcetera or Troxel’s by 3pm on November 27th. Be sure to turn your lights on and have your decorations out from 5pm to 8pm that night. What a great way to keep our town merry and bright! The Rockaway Beach Merchant’s Association is presenting this fun event! On Friday, November 27th, yes, this Friday, the merchants in Rockaway Beach will be staying open
late on Black Friday with discounts for all the folks brave enough to go shopping. This is where we really need to be watching our social distancing. But, these folks have taken some serious hits through the pandemic. A holiday boost could help them make it through the winter. So do what you can to help them out! A quick reminder not to miss stopping by Simply Charming on Friday, November 27th. They are in their new location which is at 130 Hwy 101. It’s tucked into a nicely located spot and a very cool shop. Be sure to drop by for a shopping visit I think the merchants need to name the Friday after Thanksgiving in our town. Put your thinking caps on. Maybe Seashore Shopping Friday? They
have an awesome annual event every year. This year will be different, but the same. Who knows what surprises are around the corner. Plus, you may get all your Christmas shopping done. Just watch out for everyone around you and be safe. Santa will be at the fire station. YES! The date for this event is December 5th. I am having trouble getting anything solid on this event, but we all know how busy Santa is at this time of year. I do believe this will be a drive by event though. More information in my next column. Just mark this date on your calendar. “There is ALWAYS a reason to smile. May your Christmas season be merry and bright!” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”
County who are having difficulty providing for necessities, let alone any extras for their children during the Christmas season. I’m very grateful for the Tillamook libraries. They continue to make the changes necessary during the pandemic, and often in very creative ways. They are back to curbside pickup only, but they are still there to help you – whether it is a book, movie or music. You can call (503)842-4792, ext. 1 for more information. I received word from the Boosters Club informing members and friends that the city hall and the Ad Montgomery meeting room will be closed until further notice. Currently
plans for a Christmas celebration are still unknown, however the Christmas decorations in town will be installed and lit. The Oyster Club will not be meeting in person as well, but is working on a virtual meeting for early December. Stay tuned for updates from the Boosters and Oyster Club. Congratulations Jacob Griffith for being chosen as Fire Fighter of the Month by the Bay City Fire Department. The community of Bay City is very proud of our all volunteer fire department. Being a fireman or woman involves extensive ongoing training. So far in 2020 Jacob has volunteered more than 400 hours. The City Council and Mayor of Bay City issued Proclamation 2020-003 proclaiming their gratitude to the Tillamook County
Clerk’s Office staff and volunteers in recognition of their dedicated, quality service that enabled Oregon voters to be confident in our election system and results. Contact City Hall at (503)377-2288 for the full proclamation. I too am grateful that we have such competent people protecting this essential foundation of our democracy. In the October 28th Headlight Herald there was a remarkably well written article on “How to Build Resiliency During a Crisis” by Sara Todd. She ended with the poem “Clearing” by Martha Postlethwaite. It begins with “Do not try to save the whole world”, but I think we can try, one person at a time. See you next week at the Fencepost.
