More than five hundred people gathered in downtown Tillamook on June 14, to join in a nationwide day of protest against Donald Trump and his administration at a No Kings rally.
A handful of citizens organized by We the People Tillamook County participated in a simultaneous demonstration nearby, with organizer Tiffany Jacob saying that it was not a counterprotest but a celebration of Flag Day and Trump’s birthday. The No Kings rally was organized by Indivisible Tillamook County, a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that relies on citizen engagement to organize protests against Trump’s policy agenda, according to Don Backman, who helped organize the June 14 rally.
On the day of the protest, citizens began arriving before the scheduled noon start time, checking in at Sue H. Elmore Park, where signs were available, and taking up positions on both sides of Highway 101 on the bridge over Hoquarton Slough up to First Street. Volunteers in safety vests escorted participants through crosswalks and Backman and other organizers circulated among the crowd, working to maintain a peaceful environment.
Backman said that the message of the protest was very simple: no kings.
“What we are having is a peaceful protest that just says no kings in the United States,” Backman said. “If you take a look at what’s happening in the United States right now, Donald Trump is basically making himself a king and he’s ignoring the courts, making arbitrary decisions, arresting people without probable cause and without
due process and trying to kick them out.”
Protesters’ signs addressed a variety of concerns, including threatened cuts to public broadcasting and food banks, though most stuck closely to the no kings theme.
Backman estimated that almost 400 people had arrived by 12:15 p.m., with more still waiting to sign in at the park, and organizers announced by megaphone that by the end of the protest more than 500 people had participated. A sister protest in Manzanita drew a crowd estimated at several hundred by one attendee.
On the other side of Highway 101, a smaller group gathered at
Hoquarton Park and lined the west side of the highway’s southbound lanes with several American and Trump campaign flags.
Jacob, a local organizer with We the People Tillamook County, stressed that the event was not a counter-protest, but a celebration of Flag Day and Trump’s 79th birthday.
“Our perspective is we love America and we’re out here for Flag Day,” Jacob said. “We want to wave our flag proud. It’s also our president’s birthday, going to give a little bit of love there too.”
When asked about the adjacent protest’s no kings messaging, Jacob pointed to the fact that Trump had
been duly elected, saying that he wasn’t a king. Jacob said that while she would like to see more cuts to the federal budget, she understood the pressures preventing them, and was happy overall with Trump’s actions since resuming office in January.
“I am happy with how things are going,” Jacob said. “I would like to see our budget cut, but I understand that things have to go the way they are and I think DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) did a good job and I would like to have seen some follow through with the work they’ve done.”

Four members of Tillamook County’s board of elections gathered at the county clerk’s office on June 11, for a hand recount of votes on Ballot Measure 29-183, seeking to raise Tillamook County’s transient lodging tax from 10% to 14%.
After a process that lasted until noon on Wednesday, all 9,000 votes in the contest were recounted, confirming the results from the tabulator, allowing Tillamook County Clerk Christy Nyseth to certify the
election, with the measure falling by a margin of 12 votes, with 5506 against and 4494 for.
Measure 29-183 sought to increase Tillamook County’s transient lodging tax (TLT) rate from 10% to 14% and was advanced by county commissioners in response to a budget crunch in the county government.
A concerted campaign was mounted against the proposed measure by members of the lodging industry, who argued that the increase would negatively impact their already-tight bottom lines.
The vote on the measure was nip and tuck from the get-go, though
Following four closed-door meetings with stakeholders in recent weeks, a bill to restructure the statutory restrictions on city and county spending of transient lodging tax dollars passed out of the house revenue committee on June 12, in Salem. Representative Cyrus Javadi, who has been pushing for a change to the tax throughout the session, said that he is hopeful that the latest proposal, which would allow cities and counties unrestricted control over 60% of transient lodging tax (TLT) funds, will move forward, though the situation is fluid.
“I wish I could say that this was a done deal,” Javadi said, “but this is going to be a day-by-day type of situation.”
Javadi’s attempts to reform the spending restrictions of House Bill 2267 that passed in 2003 and established the current regime for TLT spending have been ongoing since the beginning of this session. Javadi and leaders in counties that receive high levels of tourism argue that the current restrictions requiring 70% of funds from the TLT go towards tourism promotion or facilities leave jurisdictions without sufficient revenues to meet the cost of serving visitors, especially as it relates to emergency services.
percent of the total votes cast for and against the measure, in this case 18 votes.
Tillamook County Election Board Members Joni Steel, Diane Colcord, Heidi Heidenreich and Barb Aufdermauer gathered at Nyseth’s office on the morning of June 11, for the recount, while former County Commissioner Doug Olson, who campaigned in support of the measure, and a representative from the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging association, which campaigned against the measure, observed.
Initially, Javadi introduced two bills, one proposing a change in the percentage of funds restricted for tourism use from 70% to 50% and the other proposing a change to the definitions of tourism-related spending to add law enforcement and tourism facility maintenance in the allowed expenditures for the restricted funds.
Both of those proposals fizzled and died in the general government committee early in the session, but Javadi continued his quest and in early May, Democratic Representative Jules Walters revived the discussion, dedicating one of her five priority bills to redefining the allowable uses of restricted TLT funds.
the no side always led, with 21 votes separating the responses in the first round of vote results released on election night. The margin shrunk from there, falling to 20 votes two days after the election and just 11 votes once all votes had been counted on May 29. After 22 voters with unverified or absent signatures corrected their ballots by June 10, the tabulator’s results stood at 5506 against and 4494 for. This margin fell within the threshold for an automatic recount, required by Oregon statute in any election on a ballot measure where the margin between yes and no votes is less than one fifth of one
Nyseth said that the purpose of the recount was to validate the results from the tabulator, explaining that incorrectly marked ballots had already been reviewed by the board during the initial tabulation and corrected in line with Oregon’s state laws that allow corrections to match voter intent in instances where, for example, a ballot box had been checked or incompletely filled.
“The recount is just that we’re going back and we’re doublechecking that the tabulator is correct,” Nyseth said. “And that’s the whole point of it, we’re verifying that the tabulated results are right, which usually happens.”
To recount the votes, the board members went precinct by precinct, dividing the ballots between two two-person teams, before first counting the ballots to confirm they
From there, Javadi and other legislators convened a series of closeddoor meetings over the past month, bringing representatives from the Oregon Restaurant and Loging Association (ORLA), which opposes changes to the law, local destination management organizations that oversee tourism promotion and development for their areas, county commissioners, mayors and heads of local chambers of commerce together to discuss the proposal.
Javadi said that during those meetings, ORLA’s representatives made it clear that while they did not support a change to the spending restrictions, they would prefer a change in the percentage of funds restricted as opposed to a change in how the funds could be spent. Javadi said that this was driven by a desire to give the destination

declined to hold a hearing on a discrimination complaint appealed to them but directed staff to create a volunteer code of conduct in response to the complaint.
Board Member Amanda Ferrat, participating in the last meeting of her appointed term, also gave impassioned remarks decrying what she described as bullying, hate and bigotry coordinated against her online during her recent run for election to the board. Ferrat tied these concerns to what she said was an alarming prevalence of bullying in the district’s schools and called on members of the new board being sworn in in July to strengthen policies addressing the issue and protect students.
“This deeply saddens me, but more than that, it terrifies me for the future of our schools, the future of our youth and the future of our community,” Ferrat said.
Details about the discrimination complaint were scant, but Board Chair Kris Lachenmeier said that the complaint had been received and investigated in April by Superintendent Matt Ellis
who did not find it substantiated. That decision was subsequently appealed to the school board by the complainant.
Lachenmeier did not share details of the complaint but said that it related to somebody on the district’s policy committee and took the opportunity to discuss that committee’s history and role. The policy committee was formed during the tenure of Board Chair Matt Petty and former Superintendent Curt Shelly, who resigned in 2022. Lachenmeier said that those former leaders had not done a very good job of establishing the committee, failing to lay out guidelines for its activities or members’ conduct, making it challenging to oversee.
Lachenmeier said that this ambiguity made responding

Tillamook SCHOOL DISTRICT
Big changes are ahead for the Wilson River School alternative education program as it prepares to move to a new home at Tillamook High School—but its heart remains the same. Although the change in location comes with challenges, it also comes with opportunities.
In recent input sessions students shared passionate, honest feedback that is directly shaping the new program. Their priorities—maintaining a strong sense of community, preserving traditions, and ensuring a safe, inclusive space—are central to the updated design. To honor Wilson’s culture, the new location will feature student artwork and continue cherished communitybuilding activities.
The Wilson Center will offer a highly individual-

While acknowledging that the lack of formal policies meant she would vote to uphold Ellis’s decision, she said that staff should work to create a code of conduct for the policy committee and evaluate whether it was necessary, as policy work typically falls under the board’s purview.
Board Member Justin Aufdermauer agreed that there needed to be better policies for district committees but said that he thought it was valuable to have community involvement to get different perspectives on decisions.
Aufdermauer said that the district needed to figure out the role of the committee, who was on it, and the expectations and responsibilities associated with it.
Aufdermauer then made a motion to uphold Ellis’s

decision and direct staff to establish a volunteer code of conduct, assess the makeup of the policy committee and to determine whether it should be a committee of the board or superintendent’s office, which passed unanimously.
During the board reports portion of the meeting, Ferrat spoke at length about bullying in the district.
Ferrat, who was appointed to the board in February and ran unsuccessfully for election in May, said that during her campaign she had been the target of bullying, homophobia and harassment on social media. Ferrat said that while these attacks had been disturbing for her, they also raised larger concerns about bullying in the district and its impacts on students.
As evidence of the problem, Ferrat, who leads the Tillamook County Suicide Prevention Coalition, shared statistics from the Tillamook Family Counseling Center’s Crisis Program, which responds to residents dealing with mental health emergencies, on their service to youth in crisis.
Ferrat said that from January 1 to May 31 of this year, 34 youth between the ages of nine and 19 from Tillamook

The bill cleared a hurdle when it was passed by the house’s revenue committee 4-0 on a straight party line vote on June 12 (Javadi is not a member of the revenue committee) and now heads to the floor of the house for a vote this week. Javadi said that the bill would likely need bipartisan support in both chambers, as he did not expect unanimous support from either party, but said that he was cautiously optimistic as this was the fur-

County had been served by the program, including 19 who had visited the emergency department. Of those reports, every one of the 25 reports from a school crisis response reported peer bullying to some degree.
Ferrat argued that the behavior being modeled by adults in the district was creating an environment where bullying was seen as acceptable and that work needed to be done to combat this perception.
Ferrat said that the situation represented a public health issue for the community and that she was concerned it would drive continuing declines in enrollment and contribute to staff burnout, which the district needed to avoid. “We are not a district that can afford to bleed students or staff,” Ferrat said.
Ferrat noted that recent approaches to combatting bullying employed by the district, including the implementation of a conscious discipline approach that emphasizes social emotional learning and self-regulation for adults and children, had led to a decrease in behavioral referrals at Liberty Elementary School from 1,762 in the 2023-2024 school
thest the conversation around the split has progressed in the 22 years since the law’s passage. Javadi attributed the newfound forward momentum to the involvement of local leaders from impacted counties who had helped convince his colleagues of the need for change.

As she prepares to depart the board, Ferrat said that she was concerned that without her representation on the board policies that sought to erase the identities and voices of the district’s most vulnerable students would be pushed for.
“This isn’t politics,” Ferrat said, “this is life and death.”

Following this verification, the board members separated the ballots into yes
and no piles, also verified by their teammate, while setting aside ballots with no vote in the race, before counting the piles, checking their teammates’ count, and reporting the results to Nyseth and staffer Caitlin Munoz, who tallied the results and confirmed against the tabulator’s count.
Nyseth said this was her first automatic recount in 11 years at the office but that in
past voluntary recounts the work typically started slow and then sped up as the counters settled into a groove.
The process proceeded for all 29 precincts in the county and was completed by noon on June 12, with the tabulator’s results confirmed, allowing Nyseth to certify the election, and measure 29183’s failure.

Appreciation for TJHS staff
I recently attended Tillamook Junior High School’s annual recognition ceremony to support my nephew as he prepares to move on to high school. Throughout the ceremony, it was clear how deeply the administrators, teachers, and staff care about each and every student. Junior high is a time of major transitions, uncertainty, and growing pains. It’s not always smooth or easy, but what I saw at this event reminded me that even in the midst of all that, the staff at TJHS are creating a steady, supportive space for students to grow.
As each student’s name was called and they walked across the stage, I watched handshakes, fist bumps, hugs, and even a few gentle assists up the stairs. It was obvious, these educators know their students…not just their names, but their personalities, their needs, and their stories.
Those of us with students passing through the doors of TJHS are lucky. It’s clear that the staff doesn’t just teach. They connect, support, and celebrate their students every step of the way. Thank you TJHS!

The theft of the brass vase
A couple of years ago, I went to visit my wife and daughter’s graves up at the Sunset Cemetery and found that their brass vase was missing. After looking around, I saw that many more had been taken and wondered the theft had been reported. No one was at the cemetery office, so on my way home, I stopped in at the Sheriff’s Office at the port. They could tell me nothing but told me to call their non-emergency number, and when I got home, I did.
The gentleman that called me back was very nice but explained that there was little that they could do, as many times these brass vases are taken out of state to be sold.
The next year, I decided to buy another vase at the cost of $150. Then, after a couple of months, when I next checked back, it was also stolen. Now, I am a man of mean by no means, and this was a bad blow to my budget. Enough is enough. I cannot afford to buy another one every few months. Something should be done.

No, I don’t mean being a fan of the Grateful Dead, although I am that, too. But I am a really big fan of deadheading blooming plants. So many nurserymen and -women are now breeding annuals that don’t need to be deadheaded. Calibrachoa (million bells) comes to mind, but there are others as well like Begonias, Angelonia, and Coreopsis. These plants all drop their flowers after blooming making them low maintenance. But I like to deadhead. It gives me the chance to check out how the plant is doing. I can see if the pot needs more or less water, if the plant is producing flowers at a normal rate, and perhaps most importantly, if there is any insect or disease damage. There are other reasons, of course, to deadhead besides enjoying the task. First, it encourages more blooming. This is true of annuals like petunias and marigolds as well as perennials like roses. The flowers produced by a plant are just the first steps in the reproductive cycle of life. The plants invest a lot of energy in reproduction as it is essential to the

survival of the species, true of all living things. So, if a plant is done blooming, it puts all its energy into production of seeds. By removing flowers as they fade, the plant energy is focused into putting out more flowers instead of seeds. That energy also goes toward the foliage and root growth, making for a full, healthy, and vigorous plant. Deadheading also prevents the plant from going into a premature dormancy period and the result is a longer season of blooms. Deadheading can also reduce the instances of pests and fungal infections especially if it gets humid, although that’s rare in a coastal summer. But mold and rot are more prevalent in humid conditions, and they thrive on decaying matter. Some insects are
attracted to dying blossoms. And if a flower is dead, it no longer produces pollen and nectar for those important pollinator insects like bees and butterflies. Fragrant and fresh blooms attract more of these pollinators, including hummingbirds.
Many flowering plants readily self-seed. In some cases, this might be a good thing. Calendula, poppies and cosmos for example. In others, the flowering plants can become more like weeds, albeit pretty ones like borage, asters and morning glories. While some gardeners may like the wilding look, other gardeners may not. Deadheading can keep these unwanted volunteers under control.
And we can’t ignore the aesthetic aspect of deadheading. Nothing looks sadder than a garden full of wilting or brown flowers. We much prefer a vision of vibrant, fresh blooms in our gardens. Deadheading instantly improves the look of a garden and keeps it looking tidy and colorful throughout the season.
Personally, I use a pair of regular 8” scissors (sterilized between plants
with antiseptic wipes) to snip off the dead blooms and carry them away. There are specialty floral snips that can be found in most garden centers, but I find my scissors to be an all-round tool used not only for deadheading but for opening bags of soil or mulch. The long “nose” of the scissors helps to get down into the plant to snip off the blooms to the stem. I don’t try to tear the spent blooms off as that leaves the plant open to insects and diseases. So, a quick, clean cut does the trick. In cases like roses, though - or other plants with tougher stems - I use my pruning shears. And with the roses, I cut the stem all the way back to a series of 5 leaves and cut at a 45-degree angle just above those five. Deadheading is a quick and rewarding gardening technique that enhances plant health, prolongs blooming, and keeps a garden looking its best. By incorporating this practice into routine garden maintenance, gardeners can enjoy a more vibrant and flourishing landscape throughout the growing season. And besides, it’s fun.

It was celebration time in Cape Meares in mid-June. Our long-awaited emergency preparedness Container Express (Conex) box arrived and was installed in a permanent location. This 20-foot container is insulated and electrically wired for a heater, humidifier, built-in lighting and electronic communication. The box will serve as a hotspot for the community if normal internet services are disrupted in a disaster, such as our expected megaquake and subsequent tsunami. In addition to electronics, the storage container will hold other emergency supplies. The site for the Conex box is a heavily secured location, with barbed-wire fences and padlocks, near a drop zone where drones or helicopters can deliver emergency supplies.

I’ve been having problems with racoons in my garden. After many years of waiting, finally goldfinch flocks have been coming to the feeders,
and they are a joy to watch. Unfortunately, the racoons have figured out a way to get to the feeders, so now I am taking them in each night. They are crafty creatures. Bob Miles reported that he recently saw a cougar near his house, off Portland Avenue, so keep your eyes open. Huge thanks to two dedicated community members. Tom Imhoff and Gary Frey brought their equipment, energy and time and mowed all the long grass around the dump station area and whacked down tons of blackberries. The area looks so much neater, especially from the highway and local streets. Again, many, many thanks Tom and Gary, your efforts on behalf of the community are

He passed away on May 17, 2025 at the age of 88 after battling brain cancer. He had proven himself to be of strong character and a formidable fighter having surviving covid.
Jim volunteered into the U.S. Navy at age 17 and served as a Corpsman during his enlistment. After receiving his Honorable Discharge, he
then began his career working for Pacific Telephone in Los Angeles. His career started as a line man working his way up to an Engineering Manager where he worked up until his retirement in 1990. Jim was married to the love of his life, Verna, in 1975, and between them, they had 7 children.
Jim’s love for fishing and hunting brought him to Tillamook, Oregon where he was heavily involved with the Tillamook Anglers since 1992 as well as, the Elks and the Eagles. Jim also spent 12 years serving proudly as the Tillamook Port Commissioner.
Jim is survived by his seven children; Karen, Jack, Denise, David, Rick, Judy, and James. He also had ten grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and three great great-grandchildren.

Afull schedule on the June 11 Rockaway Beach City Council meeting led to a number of important votes and one significant delay.
The delay involved zoning ordinance section 3.092, concerning the Flood Hazard Overlay Zone and the PreImplementation Compliance Measures (PICM) which FEMA notified communities in Oregon that they would need to adopt.
In May, Oregonians for Floodplain Protection filed a lawsuit against FEMA over the implementation of PICM. A judge granted a motion for a stay of proceedings until July 29.
Rockaway’s legal counsel recommended that City Council continue the hearing until the scheduled meeting on August 20. City Planner Mary Mertz, in a memorandum to City Council and City Manager Luke Shepard, said “This will allow time for the litigation to play out and provide the city an opportunity to analyze the results of the litigation, before making a determination on how to proceed with PICM implementation.”
Resolution 2025-33 established the city’s Forest Stewardship Plan Advisory Committee, concerning our ongoing efforts to acquire and manage the Jetty Creek
Watershed. This committee will review project information and reports while providing community input to the Forest Stewardship Plan facilitator while the plan is in development.
Three members of the new committee will be selected from members of the SPPDAC. Two new members will be selected from the community. If you are interested, contact the city at cityhall@corb.us.
Resolution 2025-34 approved the application for an on-premises liquor license for the upcoming Pelican Tap Room in Rockaway Beach. Pelican Brewing is well known on the Coast; their flagship brewpub in Pacific City sits directly opposite Haystack Rock off Cape Kiwanda. They also operate a restaurant in Cannon Beach, near that city’s Haystack Rock but without the stunning views at the flagship. Their brewery and restaurant
in Tillamook are no doubt familiar to us in Rockaway, but I admit I was surprised to learn they also have a facility in Siletz Bay. The Pelican Tap Room in Rockaway Beach will be their fifth site, located at 165 S. Miller Street, the former home of the Rockaway Roastery.
City Councilor Kiley Konruff commented that it was “very exciting to have the opportunity to have another business here. Pelican has a really big following, and I think it’ll be good for business year-round to welcome Pelican into Rockaway.”
We wish Pelican much success and look forward to their opening, though a date has not yet been confirmed pending OLCC approval.
Resolution 2025-25 selected the Grand Marshal and Volunteer of the Year for the upcoming 4th of July festivities and parade. Longtime resident Pat Olsen was selected as Grand Marshal, in recognition of 30 years of service as a volunteer firefighter, and many other valuable contributions. Volunteer of the Year went to Barb Riley, whom I know from her tireless work with Meals for Seniors. Her work with CERT and beach cleanup, the emergency radio program, and more all contributed to her selection.
Councilor Mary McGinniss added, “These two
individuals received a lot of nominations,” referring to the nomination forms on the City’s Web site. “Both of these were overwhelmingly nominated. “Congratulations to Pat and Barb for their well-deserved recognition. Robin Swain, coordinator for the Rockaway Beach Volunteers, spoke to ask for volunteers “as we go into our summer festival season.” On June 25, the volunteers will be hanging red, white, and blue bunting on businesses around town, beginning at 5:30 p.m., in advance of the 4th of July celebrations. Robin also called for volunteers at the Thursday night Music and Movies in the Park, beginning June 26 through August (except July 3). Other 4th of July opportunities include the Wiener Dog Races and the Parade. Additionally, volunteers will be needed at the Rockaway Beach Music Festival, August 15-17, and at Meals for Seniors Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. To volunteer, contact RBvolunteers1@gmail.com. The Friends of the Library also remind us that the annual Book Sale takes place this year on Saturday, July 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Paperbacks are $1 (8 for $5), hardcovers $2 (6 for $10), CDs and DVDs $1 (8 for $5), and all children’s books $1. The library is located at 120 N Coral.

Staff from across the Tillamook School District assembled at the high school auditorium on June 10, for an end-of-the-year ceremony where awards were handed out.
Two rookies of the year were recognized and three employees received Crystal Apple awards, while both long tenured and retiring employees also received recognition.
Jennifer Guarcello, the district’s communications, grant and foundation director, emceed the ceremony, and began by sharing some results from this year’s state testing. Guarcello revealed that 60% of juniors in the district had passed the English language arts (ELA) portion of their test, eighth grade test scores improved 11% in math and 12% in ELA, and 5th grade scores were up 13% in science and 11% in ELA.
Callista Dodge, an East Elementary School teacher, and Malta Jay, a teacher at Liberty Elementary, were named the rookies of the year, with Guarcello saying they both embodied the Til-
lamook spirit of enthusiasm and commitment to students and learning. Guarcello then moved onto the Crystal Apple Awards, given once annually to a classified staff member, licensed staff member and administrator to recognize strong performance.
Jessica Hammond was selected for the classified employee award, with Guarcello saying that she was one of those people who quietly holds many pieces of her work together. Guarcello also said that Hammond was willing to go the extra mile for staff and often volunteered to go on field trips with students when extra staff help was needed. “Her commitment to quality helps lift all of us up,” Guarcello said.
Melissa Yungen, an English language development teacher at East Elementary, took home the Crystal Apple for licensed employees.
Guarcello said that Yungen was able to see the potential in her students and create plans to turn that potential into success. Guarcello said that Yungen was set apart as much by how well she listens as for how much she knows and said that Yungen “mentors colleagues with a perfect
combination of candor and care.”
Jill Ingram, Tillamook High School’s principal, received the Crystal Apple for administrative employees, thanks in large part to her resiliency, which has helped her lead with steadiness and courage in the past few years, according to Guarcello. Guarcello said that Ingram showed compassion in hard moments and grace under pressure and praised her stewardship of the Wilson River program’s upcoming move onto the high school’s campus.
“What makes her truly remarkable is the thoughtful approach she brings to every decision,” Guarcello said of Ingram.
Finally, retiring staff members were recognized, with leaders from their respective buildings or departments feting their accomplishments and giving them a commemorative plaque.
Anna Kleeman retired after a 32-year career that included two stints as a nurse and one as a career and technical education teacher.
Kathy White spent 30 years at east elementary, working in the Title I program and teaching special education, while also volun-
teering to chaperone Outdoor School.
Myra McCormick began her teaching career in 1995 and has served as a substitute at schools throughout the district since with a special knack for teaching math.
Doug Kettner worked for the district for 12 years, serving as a first and second grade teacher at East Elementary, a tech trainer at Trask
River and a science teacher at Tillamook Junior High, interspersed with stints as a detective and school resource officer with the Tillamook Police, and as the administrator of Tillamook’s 911 Dispatch.
Suzanne Petty served as the librarian at South Prairie Elementary and Principal Lonnie Eggert said that “to know Ms. Petty is to love her,” and that she had helped inspire many students to love reading.
Doug Wiley was first hired as a bus service technician in 2010, before becoming a driver in 2016 and finally a member of the district’s groundskeeping crew, and Transportation and Maintenance Supervisor Jay Marugg praised him as a tenacious hard worker.

Family, friends and supporters gathered at Tillamook Bay Community College on June 11, to celebrate the 14 nurses who completed their degrees with a traditional pinning ceremony to welcome them into the profession. Those nurses were the first to graduate from Tillamook
Bay Community College’s (TBCC) nursing program, after starting their studies in January 2024.
“Today we gather not only to honor the hard work and dedication of these students, but a historic milestone for the college,” said Dr. Tiffany Stover, the Dean of Allied Health who spoke at the ceremony. The pinning ceremony is

a time-honored tradition in the nursing profession dating back to the Knights Hospitalier in the 12th century, who received the Maltese cross as a symbol of their service.
The pinning of the cross to welcome new nurses went on to become a standard practice by the early 20th century in the United States and England.
At the ceremony, Stover welcomed the crowd and graduates, congratulating them on their accomplishment and thanking the friends, family and staff members who had helped them during their studies.
Shannon Hoff, a nurse and member of TBCC’s board of education, then gave a keynote address, encourag-
ing the graduates to work to build each other up and to help promote the importance of nursing, so those in the profession would no longer be unsung heroes.
Dr. Alex Tripp from the college’s nursing faculty then led the pinning of graduates, who were pinned by fellow nurses, with several mothers and best friends participating, as well as staff from the nursing program.
The graduates then took part in a lamp lighting ceremony, holding lit candles to represent the transfer of compassion and knowledge from their forebears in the profession, in a ceremony that originated with Florence Nightingale, who was known for her nighttime rounds.

apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE. The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: You do not owe rent; The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak to a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice.

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes.

The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $42,096.79 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $357,463.98 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 3/1/2024, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the
trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale.
