In October, those experiencing Tillamook County will have two new options to help on the path to stable housing, when Community Action Resource Enterprises Inc. opens a new congregate shelter and shelter village at its Tillamook headquarters.

Community Action Resource Enterprises Inc. (CARE) Executive

Director Jeff Blackford said that he was excited for the facilities to open and believed that they would be an asset for the community.

“We’re trying to make the neighborhood safer; we’re trying to make the neighborhood just a nicer place to be,” Blackford said. “We want our neighbors to be happy with what we’re doing because we did hear them loud and clear when they were not happy when this was first announced. And we think we’ve done a really good job at making it blend into the environment, into the neighborhood.”

Work on the new shelters began in February 2024 and is being funded with $266,000 from behavioral health and resource networks, which were created with the passage of Measure 110 in 2020.

Difficulties with utility installation slowed the project’s progress, but as of early August, utilities had been connected to the large congregate shelter, two three-person shelters, eight one-person shelters and three bathrooms, and a fence had been installed around the project’s exterior.

Finishing touches like landscaping, covering for the paths in the shelter village area and the installation of outdoor kitchen equipment remained to be done, and finding a

Oregon Tuna Classic marks 20 years celebrating sport fishing, fighting hunger

Oregon Tuna Classic

For two decades, the Oregon Tuna Classic (OTC) has united passionate anglers, generous sponsors, and coastal communities in a shared mission: to fight hunger and strengthen Oregon’s coast. This August 15–16 in Garibaldi, the OTC celebrated its 20th anniversary with a weekend of competitive fishing, community spirit, and charitable giving — including thousands of pounds of fresh tuna and significant financial support to local causes.

What began in 2005 as the “I Fish for Food Tuna Tournament” — a grassroots effort led by founder Bud Hosner — has grown into one of the West Coast’s most prestigious charitable fishing competitions and an exclusive invitational for the Offshore World Championship. Each summer, top anglers from across the Pacific Northwest compete for honors while donating their catch to feed families along the Oregon Coast.

“From our very first tournament, the goal has always been bigger than fishing,” said John Stanfield,

President of the OTC Board. “This event is about feeding families, supporting our neighbors, and showing the power of a community that comes together on and off the water. It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come in 20 years — growing from a small group of anglers into a major event with more than 40

teams competing, a vibrant community presence, and a mission that continues to inspire. We’re proud to create an experience that celebrates both the sport and the spirit of giving.”

Last year’s tournament saw strong participation and generous donations of both fresh albacore

tuna and financial support, helping provide thousands of healthy, protein-rich meals to coastal communities in need. Kati Duffy, Community Philanthropy Developer at Oregon Food Bank, emphasized the vital impact of the tournament: “Fresh, high-quality protein is one of our most needed items, and the opportunity to share locally caught tuna with our community is unmatched. The tuna provided through Oregon Tuna Classic goes directly to families along the Oregon Coast, delivering food that is fresh, nourishing, and local. We are strongest when we connect with and support each other, and Oregon Tuna Classic truly embodies the power of our Oregon community.”

This year’s event featured 49 registered teams. On Saturday, August 16, a shotgun start sent boats racing offshore in the morning to compete for the five heaviest albacore of the day.

This year’s title sponsor, Schooner Creek Boat Works, is proud to help mark this milestone.

Guarcello focused on trust building as interim super

Since mid-June, Jennifer Guarcello has been serving as the Tillamook School District’s interim superintendent, a role she will fill through the upcoming school year after a contract is approved by the school board on July 23.

In a recent interview with the Headlight Herald, Guarcello said that she felt the district was in a strong position to build on positive recent momentum and that she would be prioritizing building strong relationships within the district and community.

“I really want to focus on reconnection and trust building in the district,” Guarcello said. “I have been extremely proud of the relationships we have in our community and that extends to our district, and I know that we can do that because we’ve done it before. And so, I really want to return us back to being a school community again.”

Guarcello is a third-generation Tillamook local and after graduating from Tillamook High School went to Pacific University before teaching for ten years in Colton and the Dalles. When she and her husband, who had also attended Tillamook High, started a family, they decided it was time to move back home.

“When we had kids, we knew we wanted our kids to come back to Tillamook, be by family and grow here,” Guarcello said. “I really care a lot about our school system, I love how we teach with a servant heart and so that’s really what I wanted for my kids, and I wanted this community to look out for them. I always felt like I had lots of people to go to as a kid.”

Guarcello took a job as a firstgrade teacher at South Prairie Elementary School and earned a master’s degree in curriculum from

identified by the school district in a long-range facilities plan compiled with the help of Soderstrom Architects. Projects include needed repairs, upgrades and additions to the district’s facilities and projects from each of the phases will be completed as bond funding allows. In May, voters approved

the continuation of a previous facilities bond of 69 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value for a further 21 years, which will yield $25.35 million in bonds, unlocking a further $6 million in state matching funds.

Six firms applied for the project manager position, with three finalists interviewed by a five-member panel in July. Integrity Management Solutions was selected and will help district leaders to sequence and select contractors for the various projects. Projects in the first priority phase include repairing and replacing roofing at Liberty Elementary School and Tillamook High School, replacing Liberty’s fencing, renovating and securing

Superintendent Jennifer Guarcello said that the firm planned to put out the first request for proposal for architecture and engineering services next week and that projects will start next summer.

Oregon sees 2,700 job losses in July

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment declined by 2,700 jobs in July, following a revised loss of 8,600 jobs in June, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

The monthly unemployment reports are a key economic indicator of the state.

Job Losses

July’s losses were largest in financial activities (-2,700 jobs); professional and business services (-1,400); and health care and social assistance (-1,100). Gains were largest in construction

(+2,900 jobs) and transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+800).

Construction employed 112,700 in July, rebounding from its relatively weak prior two months, but landing well below its average level of 117,500 jobs during the prior two years.

Professional and business services has been on a declining trend since early 2023. Accounting for 254,100 jobs in July, it is down 14,800 jobs, or 5.5%, since its peak employment in March 2023. Each of its three component industries dropped by a similar percentage during that period.

Newly revised numbers for this year show lower employment levels than previously estimated for most industries.

Closer Look Since July 2024, Oregon’s total nonfarm payroll employment dropped 24,600 jobs, or -1.2%. Manufacturing lost 9,400 jobs, or 5.0%. Each of these industries cut between 3% and 4%: information, private education, wholesale trade, financial activities, and construction.

In that time, only two major industries expanded: health care and social assistance (+9,800 jobs, or 3.2%) and leisure and hospitality (+2,000 jobs, or 1.0%).

Community trail or tourist train

My political journey started almost 15 years ago when I applied for a commissioner appointment to the Port of Tillamook Bay Board. My reason for applying was that I wanted the abandoned rail line to be made into a biking/hiking trail. My reasoning was that our residents needed a secure place for their children to walk and ride their bikes. I have advocated for the trail while on the Port Board, then as a Tillamook County Commissioner for 8 years and now for 4 years as an elected Port Board member. I have participated in five elections, during which my stance has been officially known.

Throughout my political career I have always been a strong advocate for community wellness. Exercise is important, and walking on a safe trail is an excellent way to stay active. I have spent 15 years attending meetings and serving at the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency. We have planned the trail carefully and cautiously. After 15 years we are now ready to build a trail.

The issue we have encountered is that rail with trail is not feasible on the coast. The Coastal Segment Study done by Parametric estimated the cost of a 10 ft wide rail with trail to be $120 million and rail to trail $46 million. Although these estimates pertain to a paved trail, they serve as an indication of the cost difference. This study is available on the Salmonberry Trail Web Site. Rockaway Beach found they can build a rail-to-trail twice as long as compared to a rail-with-trail for the same cost. They have requested that in the Port of Tillamook Bay lease negotiation with Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad (OCSR) terminate the lease in Rockaway Beach to accommodate the rail-to-trail option. This initiative would also create an opportunity to establish an unpaved railto-trail path extending from Rockaway Beach to Wheeler and potentially further.

The lease with OCSR ends on December 31, 2026.

The Port Board is in negotiations with the Scenic Railroad over the terms of the new lease. The primary matter concerns how the right of way (ROW) is allocated between the tourist train and residents’ recre-

ational activities. Part of POTB’s consideration is that OCSR only uses from Garibaldi to Wheeler for the tourist rides, the rest is unused for train rides. Most of their income is from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach. While OCSR has dreams of trips up to the confluence they will never happen. The bridge over the Nehalem River just past Mohler has been deemed unusable for supporting the weight of a train. Further up another bridge is out and substantial in-water work will be required to make it passable. The potential total cost is $2,000,000. A review of OCSR tax returns on the IRS public nonprofit website indicates significant losses, and there are insufficient finances available to support the repair. It would be a waste of taxpayer money to get government money to restore the bridges for a couple of dozen trips a year to the confluence. From POTB to Garibaldi is also deteriorating. The Trask Bridge has been closed to passengers. To cross the bridge, the engineer exits the train and lets it idle across where another person boards to drive it to its destination. One of the bridges over the sloughs north of Tillamook collapsed under the weight of a passing engine. It is painfully obvious that OCSR has more right of way than it can maintain. Let us be realistic, they cannot support more than Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach. We have plenty of activities for the herds of tourists. It is time we did something for ourselves. Let us build a trail!

Support federal election funding

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy – but they require investment. In 2020, Congress appropriated $825 million to help states run secure, accessible elections. For 2025, that number has dropped to just $15 million – or less than $300,000 per state. That’s not enough to ensure safe, reliable, and equitable elections for millions of voters.

Across the country, local election officials are being asked to do more

with less. They’re facing a perfect storm of challenges: Aging infrastructure, including decades-old voting machines, shortages of trained poll workers, disinformation and declining public trust, cybersecurity threats, physical threats to election workers, and new restrictive laws that make election administration more complex and costly.

At the same time, restrictions on third-party support and the elimination of key federal resources, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) election security programs, have left many local offices with fewer tools than ever. This funding gap creates deep inequities. Wealthier communities can often fund election upgrades through local revenue. But rural areas and lower-income jurisdictions are left behind – making our elections less accessible and less secure. Election funding has historically enjoyed bipartisan support, and recent polling shows that nearly 70% of Americans believe the federal government should play a stronger role in election funding.

In support of rails to trails for Salmonberry

We residents of Rockaway Beach love the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and we know our visitors do as well. That said, the Port of Tillamook Bay tracks north of Rockaway are vastly underused and benefit few people. That portion of the rail right of way can be put to a much better use by removing the tracks to facilitate building the Salmonberry Trail, a railsto-trails conversion project.

Very few OCSR trips proceed beyond the Rockaway Beach Wayside. For the remainder of 2025, there are only two “Moonlight Excursions” scheduled, which are limited to passengers 21 and older, and happen at night when most businesses in those communities to our north are closed. So, any claimed benefit to business is greatly overstated.

By comparison a rails to trails Salmonberry Trail will be freely available to visitors and residents alike, year-round for walking, bike riding, jogging, dog walking, etc. Removing tracks is a first step in opening some 70 miles of trail, all the way to Banks. A Salmonberry trailhead will allow Rockaway and Tillamook County to capitalize on the trail’s ability to attract visitors.

By every economic indicator, return on investment for rails to trails projects are overwhelmingly positive. These include job creation, small business growth, local spending and property values. The Katy Trail in Missouri generated $29 2 million in 2022 Closer to home the Banks

Vernonia Trail, which the Salmonberry will connect to, is an excellent example of “upcycling” existing unused rails into improved access to the outdoors for Oregonians and visitors, while also creating a significant positive impact to the local economy. BanksThere is currently no safe route connecting the center of Rockaway with the Nedonna Beach neighborhood. A trail would provide a safe transportation route for students making their way to Neah-Kah-Nie High School, as well as other residents and visitors. Rails to trails conversion projects, such as the Salmonberry are proven winners for the communities that build them. Trails are not only an attraction for visitors, but also a healthy, safe and economically positive amenity for residents. Repurposing the rail right of way north of the Rockaway Beach Wayside is the first step in building something special that will benefit all of us for future generations. Let’s do this.

The Cape Meares Emergency Volunteer Corps (CMEVC) held a shelter drill on August 9. This emergency preparedness exercise focused on utilizing the contents of one of our emergency storage sheds to set up a shelter site after a disaster. Volunteers gathered at the designated site, most arriving on foot, as if they had just experienced a megaquake. They had initially protected themselves at home, ducking and holding beneath tables or other furniture, until the (imagined) quake stopped, before proceeding to the designated site above the tsunami zone to help build the shelter.

Once at the shelter site, evacuees were given task cards to help raise two tents (one for shelter and one for medical), set up sanitation, water, food, and communication stations, arrange an area for pets, and establish medical and mental health centers. The teams worked well to do this, and were given clipboards and pencils to make notes as they went along. The drill found that we needed to focus more on setting up the main shelter, a large tent that is heavy and requires several hands to set up, before moving on to the other tasks. The group also

found that they were missing a stepstool and some small tables. A member of CMEVC volunteered to go through the notes and write up a summary; Kathy Burke will call the emergency preparedness team

love, Joyce (Wurtz) Moe, in October of 1965. Their marriage was blessed with two daughters, Andrea (Moe) Mills, husband David Mills, and Shannon (Moe) Dalmau, husband Eduardo Dalmau. Van spent several years in California in the excavation contracting, trucking and equipment rental business with his brother, Don. By mutual agreement, they concluded their partnership in 1986.

Van would now realize his dream of being in the radio business. In 1987 he and wife, Joyce, purchased KTIL FM and KMBD AM in Tillamook, Oregon. They sold the stations in 2010 and spent ten more years on the beautiful Oregon Coast.

They returned to Southern California in 2020 to spend their remaining years with their daughters and sons-inlaw.

Van passed away on April 24, 2025 and is sorely missed by those of us who loved him.

If anyone wishes to make a donation in his memory, donations can be made in his name to the Mildred Davy Scholarship Fund at the Tillamook Bay Community College in Tillamook, Oregon.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mike A. Cham, better known as Tony, at 63 years old. He was born in British Columbia, Canada on Nov. 7th 1961 to Mike and Gertrude. In 1968 they moved to Oceanside, OR after his parents purchased The Schooner Restaurant & Lounge on Netarts Bay. His childhood was full of adventure as he and his siblings were always active outdoors on the beach or in the woods. He attended Sacred Heart School until his Junior Year when it closed and then graduated from Tillamook High class of 1979.

In his early years, his hobbies revolved around all things outdoors: hunting, fishing, trapping, and exploring new areas. He developed a passion for fly fishing and spent hundreds of hours refining his cast, tying flies, and trudging up mountain streams and around the lakes. He taught himself archery and although he never stuck a trophy, he was successful several times. He learned to hand-call coyotes and would sit in a blind and bring them close. He trained his labrador to retrieve ducks. He even drew a highly sought-after Big Horn Sheep

tag in 2003, an opportunity considered rare, and he successfully harvested a good ram.

In 1988 he joined the conservation group Order of The Antelope based out of Lakeview, Oregon. He was a proud member and made the annual Trek to Hart Mountain every year. It was one of his favorite places on Earth. He was honored with their Lifetime Achievement Award just last month- an accolade only bestowed six times previously in the 88year history of the foundation.

In more recent years, his hobbies changed, but his passions stayed the same. He began volunteering at Tillamook Anglers Whiskey Creek Hatchery where he found friendship and camaraderie amongst the other volunteers. He loved contributing to the annual fin clipping and helping with the handicap fishing day. He enjoyed watching his grandkids develop the same love of outdoors that he always had, “passing the torch” as he would say.

“We are having a challenge right now of getting our speakers and elected officials to find a date that works for everybody,” Blackford said. “So, we were in September, and we have pushed it out into October now.” Once open, the congregate shelter will be easily accessible, while the shelter village will be behind a restrictedaccess gate. Open year-round, and

overnight by a CARE team member, the congregate shelter will be able to host 10-12 people nightly, and meetings or other activities during the day. There will be no barriers to accessing the shelter and it will feature a television, artificial plants and a coffee station, as well as a dedicated restroom. Blackford said the shelter’s top priority, after safety, is creating an environment

that will make people feel welcome and respected. “We want them to feel like they have a chance at succeeding and making a difference in their life and turning that corner,” Blackford said. Those staying in the shelter will not be allowed to use substances on the premises. Blackford said that CARE staff was discussing security protocols but that a final decision on whether to

contract for

would probably be made as the shelter opened and they saw how it operated.

The village area of the new facility features ten oneand three- person shelters and two restrooms just down the hill from the congregate shelter and its residents will have to participate in CARE’s program to live there.

“If you want to get down here, let’s talk about your recovery, let’s talk about your mental health, let’s talk about you getting on OHP (Oregon Health Plan) if you’re not on OHP, let’s talk about your goals toward your housing support,” Blackford said.

“Let’s talk about your needs, your wishes, your wants and what your path looks like.”

Residents in the village will be expected to be sober, and they will meet twice weekly as a group with CARE’s navigation manager to discuss any issues that might arise.

Blackford said that if issues come up, the manager would work with residents to resolve them but that if someone was not meeting expectations they could be asked to leave the village.

“We definitely want to help and support people,” Blackford said, “but at the same time, we want to make sure there is accountability, and we want to make sure that the rest of the people on site feel safe.”

Residents are expected to stay in the village for around six months as CARE staff help them find longerterm housing and the shelter will only be open to adults, with families with children accommodated at CARE’s existing shelter facility near Tillamook Seventh Day Adventist.

With work ending on the new shelters, CARE will now shift focus to creating a navigation center with kitchen, computers and laundry room. That project, originally planned as a renovation of an existing building at CARE’s headquarters, is expected to cost $1.5-2 million, has already received $500,000 in federal funding and has preliminary design and development work underway as staff look for further funding sources.

“We are looking at what would it take to build up or build out into our parking lot or take the other building and build up or build out or do we look at another property and build a satellite office,” Blackford said.

Experienced Cheesemaker squad aims high

Will CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

As practice got into full swing last week, the Tillamook High School Cheesemakers football team began building on a strong summer and ramping up for a tough schedule ahead.

Head Coach Kye Johnson said that with 16 returning seniors on the squad he and the team are aiming for a league title and postseason run.

“When you’re lucky enough to get a group that’s 16 deep as a senior class and has experience, then I think you can set the bar high,” Johnson said. “So, for us, we want to hang up a league championship banner and we want to be a final four team.”

Last season, the Cheesemakers finished 6-5, going 4-1 in the Cowapa League

after a 1-3 start to make the playoffs, where they upset the Crook County Cowboys on the road in the first round before exiting against the league rival Scappoose Indians.

That squad had just eight seniors by the end of the season and Johnson said that the first four games against perennial powerhouses Estacada, Marist Catholic, Cascade and La Grande had provided a steep learning curve for a team full of players new to varsity football. However, this season, Johnson expects the Cheesemakers to benefit from those players’ hard-won experience and be one of the more experienced squads in the state.

“The thing that excites me the most is we’re going to have 16 or 17 seniors playing and almost all those guys

have played for four years,” Johnson said. “It reminds me a little bit of our 2022 team (that advanced to the state championship game), not the same, this team is lighter, faster, probably a little bit more skilled but we don’t have as many beefcakes.”

The team’s experience will be on show across the field on both sides of the ball, with each position group set to have multiple veteran leaders.

Griffyn Boomer, in his third year as a starter and poised to break the school’s all-time receiving record, will anchor a receiving corps and defensive secondary featuring returning starters Tristan Smith Evans and Carson Remington, with Luke Corbus and Max Abrogoua expected to step into expanded roles in their senior years.

Pirate football aims to build

By MIKE WEBER

For The Headlight Herald

The Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates football teams started practice Monday with a positive outlook, aiming to have a much better season than they had last year.

The Pirates, guided by fourth-year Coach Alejandro Quintana-Rios, lost six graduated seniors from a year ago. Quintana-Rios is hoping that with a majority of the team returning, the Pirates will have an improved performance on the field and win more games than they have in recent years.

“With most of our kids returning and coming back with the hopes of having a stronger performance, then we’ll have pretty solid team this year,” said Quintana-Rios. “We’ll be okay, especially since we’ll have our starting senior quarterback Brady Douma back to help lead the offense this year. Brady had a really good off season and our team played seven-man football during the summer with a good, solid group competing there.”

On defense, the Pirates will look to junior cornerback Daniel Sargent, the team’s leading tackler last season, for leadership. Pirates senior wide receiver/linebacker Noah Scovel is also expected to be a team leader on both sides of the ball.

“We just need to have an improved offensive line and our inconsistency at center with snapping the ball was the biggest thing that hurt us last year,” said QuintanaRios. “We’re working on improving in that area this year and hopefully we’ll have some guys that we’ll rely on to help us out there.”

Neah-Kah-Nie finished in last place in the seven-team OSAA Class 2A Special District 1 standings with a 1-5 league mark (1-7 overall). The highlight of the season was a 24-0 home win on Sept. 27, 2024, over the Vernonia High Loggers (1-5 SD1, 2-7 in 2024).

“We should be able to have an improvement in our record and hopefully we’ll win more than one game,” said Quintana-Rios. “Last year we lost a couple of close games that we could’ve won. I’m really hoping that we’ll have a much better season and have a better record for sure this year. Hopefully everyone will stay healthy and that will be a key aspect of the season.”

The Pirates could’ve easily enjoyed more success than having just one win last year, dropping two close matchups. The Pirates lost 22-16 in a nonleague season opening home game to the Irrigon High Knights (2-7 in 2024) on Sept. 6, 2024. They also lost a close road game, 20-18, to the Corbett High

Cardinals (2-4 SD1, 4-5 in 2024) on Oct. 25, 2024.

Following a jamboree at Clatskanie Aug. 29, the Pirates will begin the season with 7 p.m. nonleague home contest against the Class 3A Harrisburg High Eagles (0-9 in 2024) on September 5. The Eagles are playing in Class 2A this year after competing in Class 3A the last three years.

“I’m really excited to have our first game at home with our season opener versus Harrisburg and we’ll be ready to go for that,” said Quintana-Rios.

The Eagles have struggled recently and have lost 12 consecutive games overlapping the last two years. Their last win was a 29-19 victory over the Rainier Columbians on Oct. 6, 2023.

The Pirates open their five-game SD1 schedule with a September 26 Tillamook County rivalry road matchup against the Nestucca High Bobcats (5-1 SD1, 5-4 overall in 2024). Nestucca won last year’s area rivalry game 38-0 on Sept. 20, 2024 at Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway.

The two-time defending league champion Gaston High Greyhounds (5-1 SD1, 7-3 overall in 2024) are the top contender again for the league title, with 22 of 25 players returning.

Trap League winds down

As the season winds down with one shoot left on September, there is a horse race with 3 teams vying for First Place. Upstairs Bar & Grill is leading the pace with 2 wins while the Tillamook Co. Creamery entered the fray with a win in the August, ty-

ing Second Place with Team Mayhem. Both teams with one and half wins apiece. Kudos to Todd Johnson, shooting for Tillamook Co. Creamery. Todd shot a perfect score of 25, the only perfect score of the season, stealing a win from Team

In the backfield, Johnson said that Joshua Manns will again play a big role, while Peyton Troxel, Methias Tuiolemotu and Vincent Maciel also get lots of touches, and Cyrus Werner and Aiden Garcia, members of last year’s junior varsity squad, work their way into the rotation.

With junior Kevin Hurliman under center for his second season as a starter, Johnson said that he’s excited for the possibilities to maximize his potential presented by the plethora of skill players surrounding the talented quarterback on the roster.

“We’re going to have some personnel packages that we can rotate in the game and keep guys fresh and that’ll be important for us to figure out where we can maximize guys,” Johnson

said. In the trenches, the Cheesemakers will also be able to lean on experienced players, with returning starters Cooper Arend, Ashton Allmon and Devin McDonald providing leadership on the line.

Tillamook’s schedule is virtually identical to last year’s, starting with tough out-of-conference matchups at Estacada, against defending state champions Marist Catholic, at La Grande and versus Cascade.

Johnson said that he likes to schedule hard teams to give the team experience playing in difficult games and that they were especially looking forward to the home games against Marist Catholic and Cascade after tough road losses against both last year. “We’re really excited to host both of those teams

this year being a year older,” Johnson said.

In the Cowapa League, Johnson said that he again expects Scappoose to be Tillamook’s top competition for a league title, with Seaside also firmly in the mix. Johnson said that the team had set a high bar for itself last spring and, after a strong summer of weekly practices and seven-on-seven games, they were aiming to win the Cowapa League and make a run to the state semifinals or beyond.

“Anytime you can make a playoff run like that and get to the final four, then you feel like the stuff that you did and what you tried to get out of those guys was worth it,” Johnson said. “I don’t think there’s any reason for us to set the bar any lower than that.”

Mayhem by one bird, congratulations Todd.

The season wrap will be September 4th at the Tillamook Gun Club, a stones throw south of the So. Prairie Store off of S. Prairie Rd, Tillamook.

This week’s city council workshop and meeting address a number of issues that will have long-term significance for Rockaway Beach residents.

Resolution 2025-46 supports a grant application for development code amendments. This follows a request to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) “to support the preparation of hearings-ready development code amendments that address permitting and land use barriers to housing production.” The text of the request is included in the information packet for the Workshop Agenda. This follows the adoption of update Middle Housing zoning regulations on June 11 but recognizes the need to simplify the City’s code and requirements (per ORS 197A.400). This will have an effect on middle housing in Rockaway Beach, as I covered in my April 1 Fencepost. Middle housing addresses the increased need for permanent homes in Rockaway Beach by making more efficient use of existing land.

Resolution 2025-47 is closely related. It supports a grant application for the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, in support of the second phase of Senate bill 406, which mandates middle housing “production, affordability, and choice.” The grant “is critical to supporting this continued regional approach in developing our Housing Productions Strategies and Housing Ca-

The council workshop also includes 15 minutes (at 4:45 p.m.) for a discussion of flood hazard overlay zone amendments.

Resolution 2025-45 continues the work begun in 2024 by SB 1576, concerning recreational immunity on trails or access routes to tourist destinations. SB 1576 authorized ORS 105.668, which limits claims for personal injury of property damage resulting from “use of a trail that is in a public

However, ORS 105.668 specifically addressed only cities with a population of 500,000 or more, which obviously far exceeds our little coastal community. This resolution lets the City of Rockaway Beach opt in to the immunity provided for in ORS 105.668. This immunity extends to property owners “abutting public easements and unimproved right of ways located within the city,” and further extends to nonprofit corporations and their volunteers.

The agenda packet for the city council meeting includes several other resolutions.

The travel website, Lonely Planet, illustrates a listing of what it describes as 10 of the Best Beaches along Oregon’s Pacific Coast. Oregon’s coastline as 363 miles of rugged terrain “dotted with some incredibly beautiful stretches of sand, dramatic headlands and prime surfing. Not only that, this stretch of coastline has been protected from development and designated as “the People’s Coast,”’ Lonely Planet states. “Since the Beach Bill was passed

in 1913, the state’s beaches, coves, and coastline have been reserved as public lands for the enjoyment of Oregonians.”

• Cannon Beach is number 1 on the list as the “best beach for bird watching.”

• Seaside is listed as number 2, described as the “best beach for a fun carnival atmosphere.”

improvement project.” This is in continuation of the work begun with Resolution 2024-21, passed in April of 2024, adopting the Streets Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The entire Streets CIP is online at the city’s website, https://corb.us. Look for links to the CIP page, which list three PDF links; at the top of those three is the CIP document. As noted in the CIP, North and South Pacific Streets were two of the top priorities identified in a lengthy study. Resolution 2025-44 will authorize the city to select the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the work to be done on Pacific Street. In addition, the new 20 mph speed limit signs have been up in our downtown business corridor for several weeks now. While they appear to be slowing vehicle traffic between the Little White Church and just north of the Post Office, visitor traffic (both in automobiles and on foot) has been extensive this year. Tillamook Sheriff’s Department Undersheriff Matt Kelly’s written presentation, included in the city council agenda, states, “Once these signs are up, we will begin enforcing the new zone, with an emphasis on education in the first few weeks.”

Oregon’s beaches make 10 of the Best list

“best beach for otherworldly landscapes.”

• Manzanita, described as the “best beach for an exclusive vibe.” is listed number 6.

• Brookings is number 7, listed as “best beaches for incredible views.”

• Bandon is number 8, “best beach for marine life.”

• Depoe Bay is listed number 9 for “best whale watching.”

• Number 10 on the list is Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, listed as “best beach for coastal hiking trails.” The travel website lists Depoe Bay as a small city with “coastal charm.”

“Located 10 miles south of Lincoln City, little Depoe Bay is edged by modern timeshare condominiums but still retains some original coastal charm,” Lonely Planet notes. “It lays claim to having the world’s smallest navigable harbor and being the world’s whale-watching capital – pretty big talk for such a pint-sized town.

Whale-watching and charter

fishing are the main attractions in the area year-round.”

Lonely Planet also suggests Devils Punchbpwl as a detour five miles south of Depoe Bay, calling it “an impressive collapsed sea cave that churns with waves and offers good tidepools nearby.”

The online magazine puts Florence and the Oregon Dunes at Number 5 on its list.

Stretching for nearly 50 miles between Florence and Coos Bay, the Oregon Dunes form the largest expanse of oceanfront sand dunes in the USA, according to Lonely Planet

“These sandy hills tower up to 500 feet and undulate inland for up to 3 miles to meet coastal forests, harboring curious ecosystems that sustain an abundance of wildlife, especially birds. The area inspired Frank Herbert to pen his epic sci-fi Dune novels,” the online site states.

OTC has donated the equivalent of over 1 million pounds of food and more than $1 million in cash to the Oregon Food Bank and Ducks Unlimited. These contributions not only fight hunger but also help conserve critical wetlands and wildlife habitat, while boosting Oregon’s coastal economies through tourism, sponsorship, and community partnerships.

“My sets typically consist of popular covers, but I also write songs so I’ll play some of my original music as well,” he said in a phone interview. “My big focus on my song writing is my storytelling from my travels, giving me an authentic sound.”

Treptow’s tour takes him up and down the coast and across the state, to Montana and Eastern Oregon where he’s from.

He describes his style of music as Folk, Americana. With tactful story telling, en-

gaging crowd work, soulful original music, and popular covers, Lucas’s set is always a lot of fun for the whole family.

Baker, Grandstaff and Rose will be sending sweet sounds of Jazz and Swing from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. on the Doug Henson Plaza.

Pirate volleyball looking for bounce back season

By MIKE WEBER For The Headlight Herald

After starting volleyball practice last Monday, the Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates are focusing on having an improved record following a disappointing 2024 season in which they were 1-11 in the OSAA Class 3A Coastal Range League (3-17 overall).

This year the Pirates squad looks markedly different after the loss of six graduated seniors from last year’s varsity team. The Pirates will be guided by new head coach Debra Beckwith, who brings the experience of her 23-year high school

Guarcello

from From Page A1

Portland State University while teaching. A two-year stint in curriculum development at the district office followed, before Guarcello became the principal at Liberty Elementary for nine years. Wanting to have a broader impact in the district, Guarcello left Liberty and moved back to the district office where she became Director of Communications, Grants and the Tillamook Education Foundation.

In June, when former Superintendent Matt Ellis was placed on administrative leave, the district’s board of directors approached Guarcello and asked if she would be willing to serve as interim, and Guarcello agreed.

“The reality is, I really care a lot about the district,” Guarcello said of

volleyball coaching career. Beckwith replaced former Coach Jacque Vandecoevering, who resigned following the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Beckwith is hoping that the Pirates will enjoy some success and show substantial improvement this year. Getting a few more league wins would certainly help the Pirates gain some respectability in the tough Coastal Range League (CRL). The three-time defending CRL champion Corbett Cardinals (12-0 CRL, 24-5 in 2025) will again be a top contender for the league title after they took fifth place in the state last year.

her decision to take on the role. “We’ve got all the right people in all the right places, I believe, and the right kids and so for me, that’s why this is the right thing to do.”

After Ellis’s resignation for a position with a school district in Washington in early July, the board tapped Guarcello to remain in the role for the upcoming academic year, approving a contract in late July. Guarcello takes over at a busy time for the district, which received voter approval for a $25.35-million extension to a facilities bond in May and is beginning work on planning for projects to spend those funds, with a project manager hired and the first projects expected to start in the summer of 2026.

Academic instruction is also evolving as the district works to build on the positive results they have seen after instituting professional learning communities, small groups of teachers that meet regularly to discuss teaching.

Preliminary test results from last year show improve-

“We have a group of five juniors who will definitely have a solid impact on the success of our team this year along with senior Bianca Smith,” said Beckwith, who coached teams in Washington throughout her career prior to becoming the Pirates coach. “We had some summer workouts for the team in June which was very helpful for me in getting familiar with them. It helped provide me with some good insight into how well they can play. I’ve watched the team play for the last three years since I was a linesperson at NeahKah-Nie games.”

The Pirates have won a total of just five league

ments, according to Guarcello, and the district is expanding the initiative by moving the groups’ meeting time from Wednesday morning to Friday afternoon. For students and parents, that means that Wednesday’s schedule will return to normal from a late-start last year, while on Fridays, students will be released at 1:30 p.m., after lunch.

Another major change for this academic year is the Wilson River School’s move to Tillamook High School. Guarcello stressed that the move was not a cost-cutting measure but rather intended to give students in the program the opportunity to take general education or career and technical education classes at the high school and give them a more typical high school experience.

“Our mission is to prepare them to be positive contributors, and the real world is having opportunities and talking to all kinds of people and being a part of a larger group,” Guarcello said. “And so, we want to support them

games overlapping the last three years. They finished with a 2-10 record in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

The Pirates endured a rough stretch last season that included a 10-game losing streak. A highlight of the season was when they snapped the streak with 3-0 win on Oct. 10, 2024, over the Riverdale High Mavericks (2-10 CRL, 4-15 overall) in Portland.

“It takes time to build a successful program, so I’m not expecting by any means to place at the state tournament,” said Beckwith. “My goal for this year is to get at least a .500 record and possibly contend for a playoff

and give them the tools to be able to navigate that, and we felt like we would have more tools, more access to services at the high school.”

Beyond shepherding the district through these changes, Guarcello said that her top priority would be enhancing relationships with students and parents. Guarcello said that she planned to do this by remaining engaged in community activities she has long enjoyed like the fair

spot. That would be a pretty high goal for this group to achieve, but they’re a very athletic group and we just need to enhance their skills a little bit more.”

The Pirates will look for leadership from senior Bianca Smith and juniors Jasmine Jones and Ruby Marteeny Hucek.

Neah-Kah-Nie will begin the 2025 season with a tournament Aug. 30 at Warrenton High School. They’ll play the season opening contest of their 16game schedule in a Sept. 2 4 p.m. nonleague area rivalry matchup versus the Class 2A Nestucca High Bobcats (11-13 in 2024) at Nestucca High School.

and 4H and frequently visiting the schools.

Guarcello said she also wanted to celebrate the accomplishments of students and staff more and to make sure that the school district was playing a supportive role in the community.

“I think it really goes back to our mission, helping create positive contributors,” Guarcello said. “For me that’s not just the books, that’s not just the reading and

“The tournament at Warrenton will give everyone an opportunity to get out on the court and play and we’ll see where that will take us from that point,” said Beckwith. “I’m just really very excited about the beginning of the season.”

The Bobcats won last year’s Tillamook County rivalry contest 3-1 over the Pirates at Neah-Kah-Nie High School in Rockaway on Sept. 4, 2024. The Pirates begin their 12-game CRL schedule Sept. 9 at home versus the Yamhill-Carlton High Tigers (10-2 CRL, 14-8 in 2024).

writing. That’s about being good humans, that’s about getting outdoors and accessing our field trips or natural resources, that’s the community service our schools provide. And so, for me, it’s well-rounded education, and it’s participation in our community; our community is such a support to our school, I want to make sure our kids are supporters of our community.”

Commonly known as: COUGAR RIDGE LOTS 4, 7-10 & TRACT A, OCEANSIDE, OR 97134 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). 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. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: Not applicable due to loan maturity TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $1,149,569.83 PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT REINSTATEMENT WILL NOT BE AN OP-

TION AT THIS TIME, AS THE ENTIRE BALANCE OF THE DEBT IS OWED AND DUE. 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 loan has matured and all balances due under the terms of the promissory note dated 3/13/2024 have not been paid, including the balance of principal and interest, along with late charges, foreclosure fees and costs, any legal fees, and/or advances that have become due. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION, the undersigned trustee will on 11/13/2025 at the hour of 01:00 PM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the southern front entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, 201 Laurel Ave, Tillamook OR 97141 County of TILLAMOOK, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. 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 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. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest AVALON HEIGHTS LLC 41901 OLD HWY 30 ASTORIA, OR 97103 WILLIAM HUGHES 41901 OLD HWY 30 ASTORIA, OR 97103 For Sale Information Call: 916-939-0772 or Login to: www.nationwideposting.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.
