Missionary barge must move soon By Joe Wrabek
jwrabek@countrymedia.net
A large barge under construction and moored at Crab Harbor in Tillamook Bay will be required to move sometime after Jan. 1, the Headlight Herald has learned. Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long and U.S. Coast Guard Master Chief Michael Saindon said they visited with the boat’s owners, Linda and Ed Ebel, on Dec. 19. “The four of us talked a lot,” Long said. “It was a very frank discussion. They’re very nice people.” The purpose of the meeting was to inform the Ebels of a Department of State Lands limit of 30 days on living in a non-commercial vessel. Tillamook Bay’s submerged lands are under the department’s jurisdiction. And, said Long, the two spoke with the Ebels about the permitting process that applies to vessels and floating homes. Long said it was unlikely a moorage permit would be granted because of the barge’s 40-feet by 80-feet size. “We don’t have an official letter from the state yet” regarding the barge’s fate, Long said. That’s expected shortly after the first of the year. “We conveyed our serious
LONGEST-RUNNING BUSINESS IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY • SINCE 1888
Call him Colt .45 – proudly By Sayde Moser
smoser@countrymedia.net
At just over 3 weeks old, Colt Stratemyer is by far Tillamook’s youngest celebrity, thanks to his parents’ choice of a middle name for the boy – .45. That’s right, he’s Colt .45 Stratemyer. After his birth announcement appeared in the Headlight Herald, baby Colt has drawn national attention. From NBC to a “Comedy Central” blog to an anti-gun editorial, everyone seems to have an opinion about the newborn’s name. “His older brother’s name is Hunter,” mom Rebekah Stratemyer reported. “And since my husband and I aren’t likely going to have any more children, we wanted to stay with the hunting theme and do something fun.” Stratemyer, 26, said she wasn’t expecting the name to garner so much attention. “His birth announcement is all over the Internet,” she said. “And people are saying really negative things
about his dad and I, and they don’t even know us.” Stratemyer and her husband, Josh, are Tillamook natives who grew up enjoying the outdoors. “We’re country folks,” she said. “We enjoy hunting, fishing, target shooting and all that stuff. “We weren’t naming him to be rude, we just liked the name.” “His name doesn’t make him who he is,” said David Schwend, the baby’s step grandfather. “Why not be happy he was born healthy?” Stratemyer said she and her husband did their research to ensure they could legally name their new son Colt .45. “I’m very proud of my kid and where he came from,” she said. “I think his name emphasizes that. It’s different, it’s unique and it might really mean something to him when he gets older.” Added Schwend, “There’s got to be more important things happening in the world than what two people decide to name their child.”

Local knitters making ‘tsunami hats’ for local Women’s Resource Center By Sayde Moser
smoser@countrymedia.net
Tangled Yarns in Tillamook is a hoppin’ place on Friday evenings, where you’ll find baskets jammed with colorful yarns, and needles – and dice. Each of the evening’s participants selects the makings for a hat. Then, storeowner Candy Wilkins rolls the dice. Whatever numbers land face up on the dice totals the number of minutes each knitter
has to spend on a hat. When the time is up, the hat is passed to the right, the dice are rolled again and the game goes on. The finished product is referred to as a “tsunami hat.” “They’re a totally unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art,” said Wilkins. One of her customers suggested they be called tsunami hats because they’re a “coming together of different colors and yarns in one cluster, much like a tsunami

The hats are on sale at Tangled Yarns at $50 for the adults and $35 for the children. All of the proceeds benefit the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center. “We wanted to do something to
give back,” said Kathy Scott, one of several knitters who work on the tsunami hats. “We’re always in here knitting anyway, so we thought why not make hats and donate it to a local charity.” The tsunami hat group began forming in October. Those interested are invited to jump in, regardless of their knitting expertise. “The more, the better,” Wilkins said. “It makes it very creative that way, so the hats turn out to be oneof-a-kind.”
Garibaldi’s port manager hired by Port of Newport By Joe Wrabek
jwrabek@countrymedia.net
Kevin Greenwood, 46, is leaving Garibaldi to manage the Port of Newport in Lincoln County. That offer was made Dec. 12, pending a background check, the Headlight Herald was told. Salary and benefits were still being negotiated. Greenwood will replace Newport’s port manager for the past 17 years, Don Mann, who has announced his retirement. He’s tentatively scheduled to begin in Newport on Feb. 3. Greenwood’s new job is “a huge accolade for Kevin, a huge loss for Tillamook County and a big benefit to Newport,” said Tillamook County
Commissioner Mark Labhart. said. He’s looking forward to “ways Greenwood, a Nehalem resident, to promote and utilize the new interhas been manager of the national terminal,” which Port of Garibaldi since was completed in August.

As for rebuilding Garibaldi’s Commercial Avenue wharf, funded almost completely with grant dollars, it’s “comfortably on its way,” Greenwood said.

Last spring, students enrolled in the agriculture program at Tillamook High School began communicating with a variety of schools in Africa. Seven months later, they’ve raised enough money to send video cameras and laptop computers along with the ag program’s instructor, Max Sherman, to Kenya. Sherman, in partnership with affiliates at George Fox University, will travel to Kenya the last week of January, in part to deliver the computers but also to sit down with school administrators to discuss how his students in Tillamook can help educate local residents about agriculture techniques. “It means a lot in their culture when you can talk face to face,” Sherman said. “You almost become a part of their family, so it will establish a connection and solidify our relationship.” Sherman’s students have been corresponding with students in Africa and, he said, he’s hoping they’ll be able to take a school trip there during the summer of 2015. “Our kids have the skills to help over there,” he said. And a school is a low-risk site for trying new farming techniques. “Most of these people

Cloverdale liquor sales moving to Pacific City
Another TILL
K O O AM
Petition to overturn OLCC decision circulates By Julius Jortner
For the Headlight Herald
Come Dec. 30, Chester’s market on Brooten Road in Pacific City plans to gather the inventory currently at the liquor store in Cloverdale and open for liquor sales that afternoon. Thaddeus Cowan-Thompson, the store’s part-owner and operations manager, said Chester’s will offer more spirits than have been available at Cloverdale’s liquor store – which will close that same day, leaving Chester’s as the only liquor store in south Tillamook County. Cowan-Thompson said the Oregon Liquor Control Commission chose Chester’s to replace the Cloverdale liquor store during a meeting Dec. 12. He attributes his store’s selection over two other local applicants to a variety of factors, including the 41 years his father (co-owner of Chester’s) has been active as a successful market manager, and to Pacific City’s growing population and visitor traffic. But the OLCC’s decision has sparked an outcry from residents concerned about the economic impact on Cloverdale should the liquor store close. A petition is circulating asking the OLCC to reconsider. The petition, containing at least 120 signatures, and accompanying letters have been sent to the OLCC and to the Tillamook County Commission. Meanwhile, Chester’s
market is working to devote about 60 feet of five- or sixtier shelving in one aisle to liquor sales, in addition to the space already devoted to wine and beer. The market’s managers say the addition of liquor to the store’s display area is expected to result in no significant loss in the quantity or variety of food products sold there. In keeping with OLCC regulations, there would be a separate cash register for liquor sales. “As a company, we like to help our community,” said Cowan-Thompson, pointing out that the OLCC contributes a percentage of the revenue from liquor sales to the county where the store is located. Last year, the OLCC sent $229,348 to Tillamook County, which has five liquor stores. Paul Levesque, the county’s chief of staff, said the OLCC contributions are deposited in the county’s general fund, without restrictions as to their use. Chester’s store manager Terri Stiles said, “This is a great opportunity for us and for Pacific City. Liquor sales hours will be identical to the market hours, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, considerably greater than current hours in Cloverdale (9 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed on Sunday). “And Pacific City is a destination, so we expect a lot of people. We’ll be able to hire one more person to deal with the increased business.”

concerns regarding the safety of them and their family at the current location,” he said. “We all agreed they can’t stay where they’re at.” The Ebels began building their barge earlier this year at the Old Mill Marina in Garibaldi. The couple and their 10 children plan to float their barge to Alaska to conduct a Christian ministry. But last month, they relocated the barge across the bay to Crab Harbor, thereby alerting officials to their existence. Now, the family is virtually stuck. Long said the Coast Guard is preparing to issue an order forbidding the vessel from crossing the bar because it’s
not seaworthy and would not survive the open ocean. And the family can’t dock the barge at the Port of Garibaldi because of its size and the port’s policy of not allowing boaters to live aboard. So the family’s options are limited, Long conceded. “They may have to change their plans,” he said. “We’re letting them think things over.” Reached by phone, Ed Ebel said his family has yet to find a winter moorage. “We’re working with the sheriff and the Coast Guard,” said Ebel. “I think things will work out in the end,” said Long.

Be safe, be visible this winter season Mike Laverty
Chair, Oregon Transportation Safety Committee
With the shorter days this time of year, motorists and pedestrians need to be extra alert to see each other in low light situations. As a safety advocate, I know that just a few simple actions can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why I’d like to encourage everyone to put safety first no matter what mode of travel you choose. As drivers, we need to be alert for pedestrians, especially at intersections and near shopping areas, schools and other popular destinations. Remember, under Oregon law there is a crosswalk at every intersection; stop and stay stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks. Travel at cautious speeds in wet or icy weather and in low-light areas. Stay sober and stay focused! Driving under the influence is illegal and so is texting while driving. And, they both increase your chances of harming yourself or someone else. As pedestrians, we need to wear bright or
reflective clothing or shoes when walking in low light situations. Folks can’t avoid what they can’t see. If there are no sidewalks or designated pedestrian routes, walk close to the edge of the road and out of the way of traffic. Walk facing traffic so you can see approaching vehicles and avoid dangers like truck or bus mirrors. Stay sober; walking while impaired increases your chance of being struck. Finally, don’t wear headphones, text or talk on a cell phone while crossing the street. Remember, we can keep ourselves out of harm’s way. Although Oregon is far below the national average for traffic fatalieies, in 2012, 60 pedestrians lost their lives in crashed in Oregon. That’s far too many family members, friends and neighbors lost in often preventable incidents. Together, we must do something to reverse this deadly trend. Join me and my fellow Oregon Transportation Safety Committee members in doing your part to help make a difference. Remember to be alert and be visable.

Doug Olson, vice-chair of the Tillamook County Economic Development Council, discusses that organization’s role in administering the “tourism side” of Tillamook County’s new transient lodging tax.
EDC to appoint advisory committee By Joe Wrabek
jwrabek@countrymedia.net
Although the Tillamook County commissioners were meeting Dec. 18 in Manzanita, at the north end of the county, a delegation from the county’s south end decided to attend. They wanted to hear local Economic Development Council vice-chair Doug Olson discuss the EDC’s role in allocating funds from the “tourism side” of Tillamook County’s new transient lodging tax. State law requires that 70 percent of the lodging tax receipts be spent on promoting tourism or “tourist-related facilities.” (That latter term is undefined, Olson told the commissioners.) While the tax is expected to generate $1.4 million annually for Tillamook County – $1 million of that dedicated to tourism – the tax doesn’t go into effect until Jan. 1, 2014. So there won’t be any revenues available to spend here until the third quarter of
next year. “I’m here to tell you there is no money to dispense,” Olson reiterated. “We have not collected a dime.” What the EDC will be doing in the interim is appointing an advisory committee, as required by the county’s ordinance, and developing an assessment of “facility needs across the county,” Olson said. He recommended that the advisory committee include representatives from all sectors of the lodging industry, including vacation rentals, as well as someone from restaurant and gift businesses, an at-large representative and a member representing the county’s municipalities. Furthermore, said Olson, the committee should ensure it includes members from the north, central and south regions of Tillamook County. As for the Economic Development Council, said Olson, six of its 10 board members have countywide business interests: Umpqua Bank’s
Tony Ensler, Tillamook Bay Community College president Connie Green, Tillamook PUD manager Ray Sieler, Les Schwab Tire Store manager Mike Sinclair, Tillamook County Creamery Association CEO Pat Criteser and County Commissioner Mark Labhart. Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber, Port of Tillamook Bay manager Michele Bradley, Nehalem Lumber executive Dale Stockton and Olson himself, who owns the Inn at Pacific City, also are on the EDC board, which is elected by the council’s members. The EDC has agreed to oversee allocation of the tourism portion of the lodging tax proceeds for up to three years. “What happens at the end of three years?” asked Julie Ann Johnson, the owner of Ocean Edge Vacation Rentals in Manzanita. “There will be a formal review of how it’s working,” Labhart responded. The intergovernmental agreement between the county and the EDC still is being drafted, Labhart added.

When the Tillamook City Council two months ago mentioned the idea of closing Second Street to traffic between Main and Pacific avenues, the notion prompted plenty of questions: • What about a loss parking space? • What would the new pedestrian plaza look like? • Where would students get on and off their school buses? • How would first responders gain access to the street? • What if the idea, once in place, doesn’t pan out? Now, the City Council has scheduled a public hearing for Jan. 6 to respond to those questions and to hear more. And the council just might use that meeting time to reach its decision. “Decisions range from leave it alone, to turn [the street] into a one-way, close

Wyntergreen said the council must reach a decision soon. “The Oregon Department of Transportation is conducting their engineering as we speak,” he said, “so the city needs to give them some indication in the very near future about what they want to do with the street.” ODOT, as part of its plan to restructure the downtown intersection of Oregon Highway 6 and U.S. Highway 101, is widening both Main and Pacific, which could affect the city’s streetscape plans.

Pirate boys and girls basketball earn league wins

The Pirates earned their second league win Friday night against Nestucca. The girls won 46-10. Dana Moore led with 15 points. GIRLS Neah-Kah-Nie: 46 Nestucca: 10 BOYS Neah-Kah-Nie: 56 Nestucca: 46

Local league competitors Neah-Kah-Nie and Nestucca met up Friday night in Cloverdale for a girls and boys basketball game. The Pirates sealed both wins for the evening. The Lady Pirates added their second league win to the record books after beating Nestucca 46-10. “The lid finally came off for us a little bit, we were able to knock down some shots,” Neah-Kah-Nie Head Coach Corey Douma said. “It was good to see them shooting with some confidence; we’d been working on that in practice.” The full court press from the Pirates made the Bobcats anxious with their passes and shots, making
it very difficult for them to score. Dana Moore led the Pirates with 15 points while Jillian Wilkinson and Monica Chatelain both had three for the Bobcats. The Pirates’ win Friday night came after their first loss in the league Dec. 17 against Portland Christian:19-39. “We played 22 very good minutes of a 32 minute game,” Douma said. “It was about a four point game with two minutes to go in the third [quarter] and suddenly [Portland Christian] caught fire and hit six three’s. We just kind of shut down on defense a little bit. We weren’t communicating.” Looking ahead, Douma plans to give his team a few days of rest over the holiday break, but thinks they’ll stay active and avoid coming back rusty. The Pirates’ next game will be at their home tournament Dec. 27-28. On the Bobcats’ side, the loss against the Pirates was their fourth of the week. The Bobcats traveled to
Taft Dec. 18 and fell 17-44, but improvements were still to be found. “We took some steps in the right direction, but still had the same problem of being unable to score the basketball,” Nestucca Head Coach Tim Foster said. “The girls are doing a good job running the offense and taking open shots, we just need to get better at finishing those opportunities.” In the game against Taft, Foster thought Marissa Dempsey played a great game. “Taft had some tall girls and she did a good job stopping them down low.” As for future games, “…We have to focus on improving on the things we can control like effort, attitude, and desire and I think we are making huge strides in those areas,” Foster said. The Bobcats will travel to Neah-Kah-Nie’s tournament Dec. 27-28. Neah-Kah-Nie: 14 6 20 6 Nestucca: 3 2 14 Neah-Kah-Nie scorin: Dana Moore 15, Annie Rohweder 10, Alaina Holm

Entering the game with a 1-4 record, the Pirate boys were able to win their second game of the season, defeating the Bobcats 56-46. Traveion Morris had 28 points. 9, Brittany Scull 6, Annie Kelly 2, Kristina Burdick 2 Nestucca scoring: Monica Chatelain 3, Jillian Wilkinson 3, Shanna Cox 2, Kycie Richwine 1, Jackie Wilkisnon 1 After the Pirate girls brought in a win, the boys followed in similar fashion. Nestucca entered the game with a 3-1 season record overall, while Neah-KahNie had only seen one win prior to Friday night and was 1-4 overall. “I think we should have competed with some teams, we just haven’t done a very good job on the board, defensively,” Neah-Kah-Nie Head Coach Steve Sherren said about the team’s record. “Tonight, starting out with that slow first quarter, we hung in there because they didn’t score a lot. So, defensively we hung around. They’re a tough matchup, so I thought we did a pretty good job.” The Bobcats led the first two quarters, but were still not their usual selves. Max Kirkendall did not play as
sharp as he normally does, scoring only three points. Keenan Wenrick also appeared under the weather. Without two of these essential links, the Bobcats lost their led in the third quarter when the Pirates outscored the Bobcats 2111. “We battled through it and I think we had a really good second half,” Sherren said. Traveion Morris scored four three’s in the third quarter for the Pirates, despite heavy double teaming and shooting far behind the arch. The Pirates continued to widen the gap and closed the game with a ten-point lead, winning 56-46. Morris led the Pirates with 28 points and Brett Elder led the Bobcats with 28 points. “I was proud of the way they played. They played hard, but there are still areas of improvement too. But, I think this year our league is going to be wide open.” Like the girls, the NeahKah-Nie boys also traveled to play against Portland Christian on Dec.17. “We
got off to a slow start and they got off to a hot start,” Sherren said about their 4769 loss. “Where Nestucca seemed like they stumbled out of the gate too, Portland Christian had a kid hit three three-pointers right off the bat and they were off and running and we could just never close the gap.” Both teams will compete on Dec. 27-28 at Neah-KahNie’s basketball tournament.

Tillamook girls take third at Newport Invite, boys fifth by Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
The Cheesemakers saw their second swim meet of the season at Newport on Saturday. The girls’ team finished in third while the boys earned fifth. Sophomore Emily Reibach saw the only individual win for the Cheesemaker girls, out-swimming the rest of the field with a 1:00.99 100-yard freestyle. The girls’ 400-freestyle relay also earned significant points for the team, finishing second with a time of 4:19.33 (Putman, Bush, Polman, Reibach). On the boys’ side, the Cheesemakers also only had one individual winner. Senior Dylan Tohl won the
50-yard freestyle in 24.58 seconds. The boys’ 200-yard freestyle relay also added to the boys’ fifth place finish, earning second in 1:45.63 (Rocha, King, Wener, Tohl). This success comes off of last week’s invitational at Astoria Dec. 14 when the girls finished first and the boys finished in third. “We performed really well for it being out first meet,” Head Coach Todd Bush said last week. “The new swimmers did excellent. The returning swimmers are at or better than I expected them to be.” “I was missing a couple boys,” Bush said about the boys’ third pace finish last week. “I was happy with
that. Seaside and Rainer have huge teams. They have depth that we can’t compare. They can fill every event where we’re limited to nine or 10 boys at the meet.” The Cheesemaker swimmers will host their first home meet of the season on Jan. 10 for the Cheese Relays. Races start at 3 p.m.

Tillamook School of Dance to appear in Disneyland’s Christmas Day Parade
www.tillamookheadlightherald.com
by Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
This year a few friendly faces will grace the screen in the 30th Annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. Pink Eggert and 17 of her high school dancers from the Tillamook School of Dance were selected to perform in the Disneyland “Dance the Magic” Nov. 7-10 for the Christmas Day Parade. Tillamook’s local dancers will appear performing a routine in the parade, and they were also invited to do a routine as Monster’s U Cheerleaders for Disney’s “Monster’s University” as well as perform with the cast of the “Teen Beach Movie” in a production routine; all three will air on Christmas morning.

Pucket Wins ‘Fight for Your Future 2013’ by Chelsea Yarnell sports@orcoastnews.com
‘Tis the season for combat wrestling. As an alternative to traditional holiday entertainment, Blend of Zen hosted “Fight for Your Future 2013” on Saturday night featuring several of their MMA trainees in a submission-grappling tournament. Submission-grappling (or submission wrestling) is a type of martial arts that tends to be fought on the ground; the objective is to make one’s opponent tapout. Participants on Saturday night battled their way through a seven-man bracket
until the two finalists went head to head for the title in the championship round. Allen Pucket walked away with the win after winning three straight matchups. “I feel great. A lot of people were counting on me to win this,” Pucket said after the fight. “I’ve been into MMA for four years and I took a little time off and got a job at the saw mill, so I don’t have any time to practice, but I heard about this and thought I’d do it.” On the rare chance that Pucket does have time to train, he works out at Blend of Zen. He believes his hard work and technique gave him the edge.
“I usually feel like I’m the weaker guy going in,” Pucket said. “I’m usually going against bigger guys, so I found that you have to use technique and not brute strength to win, and that came into play this time.” Pucket, along with the other two finalists, received wallets as their prize. “You give someone a medal and that makes a lot of sense, but that’s pretty normal, pretty average,” Blend of Zen owner Eric Beggs said. “But in a different kind of program we want to offer something unique.” Along with Blend of Zen’s sponsorship, Fat Dog Pizza also donated pizzas for the event and all the
proceeds from the night’s tickets and concessions will be donated to Neah-Kah-Nie athletics. “We really appreciate those guys being around and doing what they can. Public school systems are incredibly underfunded, so we try to support them as much as possible,” Beggs said. “Also [we] not only generated finances, but also generated some awareness to donate to your local high school.” While the turnout was less than ideal, Beggs understands that the holiday season makes it difficult to attract an audience. Yet, he was still pleased with the event’s success. “Last year was quite a bit larger
turnout, this year [was] still a positive turnout,” said Beggs. “All and all there was entertainment for the people that showed up.” Beggs and Blend of Zen plan to host “Fight for Your Future 2014” next year and possibly feature cage fighting. In the nearer future, Blend of Zen will help with the Tillamook Smoker Boxing Tournament hosted in February during Tillamook High School’s Charity Drive.

Annual Report Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) completed an academic year in 2012/2013 that continued the commitment to serve our community. The seven year journey to independent accreditation is almost completed. The commitment to serve our high school students so that they can attend TBCC with free tuition if the student has a 3.0 GPA continues to open doors for local students. The opportunity to increase dual credit for high school students who are ready for college classes continues to grow. The consistent opportunity to work with local employers on growing the skills of their workforce is always an area where the college responds quickly. Making sure that there are classes to assist adults improve their skills so they can succeed in college and career programs continues to open doors to economic success that would not be opening if TBCC were not in our communities. The accreditation evaluators who visited TBCC in October 2013 commended the College on its connections and collaboration with community partners. Such partnerships are essential for TBCC. The Peer-Evaluation Report makes several points about this: “First, independent accreditation will allow the College to shape its destiny as a true community college by developing workforce development as well as transfer programs that are deeply relevant to local employers. The local industries, which require degrees from associate to Ph.D., are fishing, fibers, forestry, food, and resource management.” “In fact, public forum comments were filled with praise for the College’s ability to raise the quality of life for so many through this kind of local responsiveness and flexibility that is changing the culture of the community. For example, the manager of the local lumber mill and a high school biology teacher agreed that there is a profoundly changed attitude in high school students, who...now understand that “skilling up” through post-secondary education is necessary…and that the College is ready to assist them.” “A second powerful outcome of this shift is improved K-12 alignment…. With a greater emphasis on credit-bearing offerings, coupled with improved or new facilities at the high schools, students can see the connection between high school and college…. In the wake of these efforts by the College, the Evaluation Committee heard numerous examples of success.... The impact of this alignment cannot be overstated in its efforts of raising the expectations about educational attainment for the entire county.” “Finally, alignment with employers through workforce programs is impressive. The manager of the lumber mill…cited various examples that included dozens of millwright certificates that helped young people “skill up” and stay employed at home instead of leaving for lower wage unskilled work in larger communities. He also spoke eloquently about professional development of his managerial and technical staff because many of them work as adjunct faculty for the College.” Connie Green, President

Annual Whale Watch Week slated Dec. 26 – 31 Neskowin Valley By Dave Fisher
For the Headlight Herald
It’s almost that time of year again. No, not Christmas; we’re talking Winter Whale Watch Week at 24 sites along the entire length of the Oregon coast, where trained volunteers will be present to show visitors the gray whales. This year’s event is slated December 2631, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the designated sites This is not the only time you can see the whales, but during this period you actually receive help from knowledgeable volunteers in doing so. About 18,000 gray whales will pass by in roughly four weeks, from mid-December to mid-January, and the same locations (see sidebar) are still great viewing spots. Generally, the higher the site, the better the viewing, which makes the historic lookout at Neahkahnie Mountain a prime location. Whale watching takes place almost year-round on the Oregon coast. Another Whale Watch Week is scheduled in March 2014. The number of
whales peaks the last week and finishes in June with mothers and babies being the last whales traveling north. Summer brings whales that feed along the coast from July to mid-November. With trained volunteers at “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites visitors receive help spotting gray whales during the winter and spring annual migrations, in addition to receiving information about their migration. The main body of whales is about fives mile offshore, but some can be seen as close as one to two miles off shore. During the southern migration whales seldom stop to eat, but travel steadily to the Baja lagoons of Mexico. Winter migration has the highest numbers (30 per hour) but the whales are usually farther offshore because of stormy weather. Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. Focus your binoculars and have them ready, but watch with your eyes. When you locate a blow, peer through your binoculars for a closer look.

Kids donate funds to Kiwanis
children to work independently at their own pace. In some cases, being able to listen to a story problem along with reading it will offer a child a better understanding. “There are so many ways to use technology in the classroom to augment inquiry based learning and problem solving skills,” Schau said. Tablets and headphones will reside primarily with the kindergarten thru second grade class; third through fifth grade students have laptops in their room. Teachers agree that the technology is opening new doors to learning. “The children in my class are already benefiting,” said Jennifer McDaniel, K-2nd grade teacher. “I see the students mentoring each other and collaborating. And the tablets are allowing them to developing their fine motor skills through trace letters and moving objects on the screen.” Through additional support from a private donor, the school was able to upgrade the office systems and provide each teacher with a laptop computer as well.

For the tenth year in a row, the students at Nehalem Elementary School have turned the tables on the Kiwanis Club of Manza-WheeLem by donating $171.17 they collected during December to the club. Since 2003, the Nehalem Elementary students have conducted food, toy and fund drives in the days leading up to their Christmas break. To date, they have given the local Kiwanis club a total of $2,946.00. Kiwanians raise funds throughout the year with raffles, bingo nights and home tours. They use those funds to support children’s programs in North Tillamook County. “This contribution from the kids will be donated to an appropriate local, child-related program,” said Kiwanis club president David Dillon. “We thank the students, their families and the school staff for making this program such a success.”
Christmas came a little early this year for the students at Neskowin Valley School thanks in part to the Wheeler Foundation, which funded a grant to bring new computer tablets and technology supplies to the classrooms. “We are so grateful to the Wheeler Foundation,” said Chris Schau, head of school. “We reached out to the foundation last year when we started our Ocean Sciences program. We wanted the technology to enhance research studies in the classroom.” The notebooks arrived last month during the students’ study of space and the planets. The teachers downloaded an application that allowed students to hold the tablets toward the sky and see the position and names of the constellations right above them. “You should have seen the amazement on their faces. It opened up a whole new way of learning and understanding the space around them and sky above them,”Schau added. As part of the technology package each tablet was outfitted with a Leapfrog headset.

erry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year to family, friends and everyone. I just received an e-mail announcement that the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition awarded $7,375.00 to five local organizations to assist in the funding of cultural projects in Tillamook County.

ome announcements, first. You’ll see this issue of the paper a day early – on Christmas Eve. That’s because Wednesday, the day the paper would normally come out, is Christmas Day, and we who work at the paper will be taking advantage of the opportunity to spend the day with our families and friends, opening (and giving) presents and stuff. The same thing will happen the following week (well, except for the presents). You’ll see the paper on Tuesday, New Year’s Eve, because Wednesday, New Year’s Day, is also a holiday. Today – Christmas Eve
Master Gardener Association was awarded $1,325 to help create a new entrance to the Learning Garden at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. $1,500 was awarded to Tillamook County Quilt Trail Coalition to help facilitate the 3rd Bi-annual Quilt and Fiber Festival. Bay City Arts Center received $2,000 to fund The DaVinci project, and art design project for 5th graders at East Elementary School. You can find more information out about these grants and awards at http://www. tcpm.org/tccc.htm. The Tillamook County Master Gardener Learning Garden would like you to help them grow, so please purchase a renovation raffle ticket for a chance to win $1,000. They would like you to help them build a hoop house to demonstrate and teach seed propagation to grow food and flowers. Tickets are $25 a piece and the winning ticket will be drawn at “First Signs of Spring” celebration at the Pioneer Museum on Saturday Feb. 1 from 2-4. Everyone is invited to attend. Remaining tickets will be
sold at the event. There will be appetizers and wine tasting. The winner need not be present to win. Why not put TCMGA on your Christmas list or honor a friend and they will add their name to the Garden Donor board. You can purchase tickets at the following locations; Monkey Business at 101 in Pacific City, Hidden Acres Garden Center in South Tillamook, Sandy’s Nursery in Tillamook, Pioneer Museum in Tillamook or at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita. Please purchase your tickets by Jan. 26. Tillamook County Mater Gardeners Association is located at 2201 Fourth St., in Tillamook. This is a non-profit organization. So if you are not able to purchase a ticket maybe try to make a donation. Happy Birthday this week to Charity Noble Lovelady of Hillsboro, Austin Montgomery of Nehalem, Terry Turcotte of Nehalem, Catherine Chausse of Nehalem, Jan Glassburn of Nehalem, Paul Russo of Wheeler, Allen Giacchero of Wheeler and Michael Nitzche of Washington.
– and tomorrow – Christmas Day – a lot of things will be closed. Garibaldi City Hall is closed both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; so is all of county government (which means the Garibaldi Library will also be closed). The post office is closed Christmas Day, but is open Christmas Eve until noon. I have seen the designs for the proposed renovated dance floor and council chambers on the second floor of city hall, and they are impressive. Among other things, the old arched ceiling is proposed to be exposed again over the dance floor, which will really improve the acoustics of the place. The project may happen next year if John can find the grant money. Those who have been watching the progress of Betty Ralston’s mural in the little hallway leading from the dance floor to the Garibaldi Library may have noticed there hasn’t been progress for a while. That’s because it’s been too cold to paint. The mural is temporarily on hold until the weather gets warmer. Thanks to Sue Niemi for
her donation to the Garibaldi Library for children’s books. And don’t forget that future-ofthe-library survey; you can take the survey from home, at www. tillabook.org, or use one of the library computers – or fill it out on paper (yes, they still have paper forms). Lastly, some personal thanks from me. Thanks to all of you who’ve tipped me off, in this and past years, to breaking news, happenings, and other information. You’ve made my job as a reporter and as a columnist a whole lot easier, and it’s very much appreciated. The only reason I’m able to act like Joe Knows Everything is because people tell me stuff. Thank you. I’d bake cookies for all of you if I could. Thanks, too, to all of you who’ve donated to the Food Pantry, to the Lions Club, and helped with any or all of our charity efforts and events, big and small. Your willingness to help your neighbors is what makes this town such a great place to live. May you all have a merry Christmas, and get to spend it in the way and with the people you like.
Gardening Matters Remember to pay attention
The talk of December has been the very cold weather we experienced earlier in the month. I remarked that if I had wanted to be cold I could have stayed in Pennsylvania. Of course I was kidding because I knew soon the real “Oregon Coast December Weather” would arrive and the temps would return to our winter normal of between 35 and 40 degrees. But my heart sunk when I saw the damage the cold weather had wrought on the garden. I expected the daphne to be stressed as it is a tender plant. But even normally hardy plants like euphorbia and heuchera were wilted and folding into themselves. I guess I could have gone out the evening before and covered them with blankets, but truly, that never crossed my mind. I am so far removed from the days when I did that to prolong my mums and fall bloomers longer into the fall, that taking old blankets to the garden had fallen off my radar. So there they were, the next morning after the thermometer dipped to 16 degrees the night before, greeting me with such sad looking, drooping leaves. I just kept walking to the car, knowing that at this point there would be very little to do to correct things or to resurrect them from the dead. Over those next four very cold days, I rationalized the damage. Yes, I would lose some plants and some of them would leave large empty spaces in the garden. But that would allow me to try some new things next spring. I could fill in those literally dead spaces with a whole new color pallet. I do prefer the crowded look of an English cottage garden and my house fits that theme, too, so I wouldn’t want to change the garden style, just the plants. I could remove some of the older plants to allow for a bit more sun into the garden and perhaps be able to find a little

sunny spot to plant some vegetables. Or I could set a space aside for the grandchildren and dogs to actually play in instead of having to herd them to the paths. The possibilities were endless and I got out some of my plant and garden designing books to peruse those possibilities. I spent a lovely afternoon – safe in my warm house - going through those books and jotting down some ideas. At one point, though, I bundled up and walked through the garden to see what else looked dead. The hardy fuchsia that the hummingbirds count on this time of year looked like they had been hit with a blow torch. These fuchsias have grown to be quite large and are probably at least 40 years old. They served also for shelter for all the little birds, both from the weather and from predators. Now they offer little to no shelter. Of course, the plants that had already gone dormant would weather the cold easily. Hosta, maple trees, and even the roses would most certainly have survived. I was less sure of the hellebores that were just getting ready to bloom. The loss of hellebores made me sad for several reasons. They are the first to bloom each year and the blooms last until mid summer. They are a staple in my garden and I have so many different varieties with colors ranging from pale pink to almost black. And I also knew how expensive they would be to replace. But I resolved not to dig anything out until well into
spring just in case they would be able to recover from the cold. If I have learned anything from gardening over the past 30 years, it’s patience. I won’t cut the fuchsia or the ferns back yet, just in case January gets cold again. I don’t want to spur them on to a new growth spurt only to have them be stressed again. That’s a sure way to kill a plant that is on the brink. Eventually I was right about the weather and a few days later the temperatures climbed into the 40’s and the low 50’s. And then the rains came. A few mornings ago, I looked out my kitchen window to what had been a sad, wilted bank of rhododendrons. What a surprise to find they had perked up and were back to looking normal for December! I put on my raincoat and boots and walked out to check on other plants. Yes, the daphne still looked tired with yellowing leaves, and the hardy fuchsias were still wilted. But the rain we had in the night had allowed the hellebores and the heuchera to take water into their systems and they were almost back to normal, too. Mother Nature wasn’t as cruel as I had imagined. Instead, she was fooling me. My plants weren’t as affected by the cold as they were from the dryness. So my garden has also taught me to pay attention. Had I been keeping up with my journal instead of getting ready for the holidays, I would have realized a lot of my plants were simply thirsty. I could have watered them and not allowed them to become so stressed. Next time I will know. Of course, now those plans for revamping the garden will go on the shelf. I may still need to pull them out in the spring, but only time will tell about that. In the meantime, I wish all my readers a most happy Christmas surrounded by loved ones and family, filled with the sounds of children’s laughter.

erry Christmas south Tillamook County! This year I bought myself a Christmas present. After six weeks without a car, and test drives at each of five coastal dealerships, I chose a new 2013 Honda Fit this past weekend. The five door hatchback is royal blue; I’ll call her Bluebell, Bella for short. I truly appreciate my salesman, Joshua Jarrett of Sun West Motors in Newport, who with a colleague ferried my rental car clear back to Tillamook on their Saturday night. After five years of tolerating a vintage VW Bug, travel in the little Honda truly feels luxurious. Speaking of happy news, hats off to Russ Sanders, a Special Education Teacher at Nestucca, on being awarded a $1,000 grant to purchase materials related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. He was one of 28 recipients chosen from a pool of 118 applicants.

here were several Christmas potlucks and parties over the weekend of Dec. 14 – 15. I missed the one at the Gardens where James is on the 13th due to bad weather. I got to the Friends of Cape Meares catered dinner and gifts exchange in Netarts at 1 p.m. I was glad to have it in the daytime. Once the weather warmed up, I headed out to Forest Grove the next day. Then, the evening of the 17th, my brother, Jim, took me to see the McCready’s
Planned purchases include LEGO Robotics kits, and books from the AIMS Foundation. With school out and holiday visitors underfoot, it seems appropriate to round up a list of winter break entertainment in our neck of the woods: • Tillamook County Fairgrounds will host an Open Skate from 1-4 Dec. 26-31. Cost is $5, including skate rental. • Whale-watching spoken here volunteers will host whale-watchers from 10-4 Dec. 26-31 at Cape Kiwanda, Cape Lookout, Cape Meares and at the Neah Kah Nie Mountain turn-out in north county. • The OSU Extension Office will host a cake decorating class for fourth grade and up from 1-4 p.m. Dec. 30 and 31. Cost is $15 for 4H members, $35 for non-members. Call 503-8423433 to register. • Oregon’s Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will host thirty guided hikes in state parks on New Year’s Day. This is the third year that OPRD has participated in First Day Hikes, a nationwide initiative sponsored by America’s State Parks. Last year, more than 420 people participated in First Day Hikes in Oregon. OPRD will waive the day-use parking fees
on Jan. 1 for all visitors to participating state parks that normally require a permit. In Tillamook County, a first day hike happens at Cape Lookout State Park. Hikers, dressed for the weather and wearing appropriate shoes, should meet at the trailhead parking lot at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 1. • Tillamook County Library hosts a music program from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 4. Thanks for word from Sammie Olson that now is the time to register for Winter Term at Tillamook Bay Community College. South County Campus will host the following classes: Getting Started with QuickBooks, Oil Painting, Photoshop Elements, and Smart Start Your Business. Free tuition applies to some of the options. Register online at TillamookBay.cc, by calling 503-842-8222, extension 1100, or on campus at 4301 Third Street, in Tillamook. Happy birthday this week to: Dale Anderson, Josh Armstrong, Judy Booth, Roxanne Carver, Christine Chatelain, Christine and Dennis Dirks, Gary Hale, Brandi Haltiner, Brady, Ken and Nick Hurliman, River Kiepke, Kay Long, Kay Fulifson, Molly Spidell, William Summers, Jr., Sara Wagner, Jillian and Joe Wilkinson, and Jeff Yates.
display in Dilly, Ore. Years ago my parents always took James and me to the display that was in the yard at the McCready’s home in Forest Grove. The McCready’s bookkeeper helped them with set up back then. She recently bought a large piece of property in Dilly and brought out the old displays that had been stored by the city of Forest Grove since the McCready’s had passed on. Some of the characters run by old washing machine motors had to be repaired, new motors, new pain, and other fix-ups. Then, new displays were built and a lot of work went into getting the whole display up and running. What fun it was to see again. We went out to Roy, Ore. to see the Christmas display there. Lots of houses and yards were with lights and decorations, but the automated Santa climbing the chimney and back down
was not there this year. It was so foggy we used fog lights and could only see a short ways in front of us. Yet back in Forest Grove there was not a bit of fog. A few miles sure makes a lot of difference. There is a New Years Eve party planned for Cape Meares residents and guests at the Cape Meares Community Center. An auction is planned so if you have anything to donate for the auction, please be sure to get it to Deborah Neal at dct.neal@gmail.com. There is a Nea-Rock Garden Club “After Christmas” party at Betty and Richard Rolston’s house on Jan. 8. To carpool, meet at the PUD parking lot at 11 a.m. A potluck is planned for noon and a gift exchange will follow. Bring food to share and a gift to exchange for $8 or less, or just a recycled gift. See you there!

joyous and blessed Christmas to all of you! Well, I figure this paper will show up in your mailbox the day after Christmas, but for me Christmas will always last through the Epiphany. Now I can’t believe the next column I write will be in the year 2014. 2013 has been a bit rough with my brother’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis last Feb. He is continuing with his chemo treatments and so far he is doing amazingly well. Thanks for all your prayers. If you haven’t any New Years Eve plans, drop by the Lions Club for Bingo. It will begin at 5:30 and it is a potluck that will run throughout the evening. The Parks and Rec program will begin their bingo Sunday, Jan. 12 through March 2. It will once again be located at the community center. Be sure to mark your calendars. The Tillamook County Cultural Coalition Awards awarded $7,375 to five local organizations to assist funding cultural projects in Tillamook County. Grant awards are made possible with funds from The Oregon Cultural Trust. More information can be found at http://www.tcpm.org/tccc. htm.

ere is hoping and wishing that all of you are able to celebrate with family or friends this holiday season. I am not normally baking as many different types of cookies that I usually do as my ankle still hurts if I stand too long. We are celebrating Christmas this year with Jim’s family and my daughter Cari and her family. Of course we will be at the candlelight service at the Bay City Church on Christmas Eve. To me it doesn’t seem like the reason for the season without attending this magnificent service. Remember, you do not have to be an expert to become an OSU Master Gardener. Anyone with a sincere interest in gardening and horticulture, including gardeners, produce farmers, nursery and landscape workers are encouraged to participate in the 2014 Tillamook OSU Extension Service Master Gardener training. The program includes 66 hours of instruction about horticulture/gardening and information about growing plants on the Oregon Coast. Classes are taught by Oregon State University faculty/staff and by local volunteers. The OSU Master Gardener program was designed to provide in-depth training for local gardeners who will volunteer in the community to help the OSU Extension Service answer home and community horticulture questions for the public. For those that have the time and desire to volunteer in their community the fee for the training is $120, which includes the Sustainable Gardening text book and all class materials. OSU Master Gardeners provide 60 hours of volunteer service during the year after they complete their training. They work with other Master Gardeners to answer questions at the OSU Extension office,

calendar for a great meal with your neighbors and friends. Longtime resident, Janet Laine Johnson recently passed away. Many of her friends are raising funds to buy a brick in her name at the wayside. If you would like to help, send a check to the city of Rockaway Beach with her name indicated on it. And either take it to the city hall or lifetime friend, Judy Mammano. What a wonderful way to be remembered. Well, you have to drop by our city hall to see the wonderful decorations that our Linda and Lynda did! Linda Olson and Lynda Holm had the hall looking perfect for the Hope Chest’s annual Christmas party. There was a house full of volunteers, and wonderful food such as citrus salmon by Penny. Word on the street is this was even more beautifully decorated than Louanne Swanson’s 80th party, and that was pretty spectacular! I was unable to attend, as we were at a tree lighting in Sisters, but a clear and gorgeous night added to the festivities at the Annual Rockaway Beach Christmas tree lighting. Several hundred folks showed up for the event, with carols and even a visit from Santa Claus. I noticed several buildings are lit up beautifully, but I’m thinking next year the entire town needs to decorate to the max. I was inspired because the entire town of Sisters was open and decked out for what they call a “Cookie Crawl.” The evening ended with the tree lighting and every business in the community was involved. But our town is still my favorite! “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.” Happy New Year. That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!” plant clinics and other events; they work together at the Master Gardener Learning Garden and at many community and school gardens; and they help educate others in the community about gardening. For those that do not have the time or desire to volunteer, they too may take the training and receive a certificate of horticulture. The fee for this option is $360. Classes are held each Tuesday, starting on Jan. 7 and continuing through April 1. They are from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an hour for lunch, and are held at Tillamook Bay Community College. Although this is a long day, participants often say that the time flies and the topics are presented in a very understandable way. Please contact the OSU Extension Service, 2204 Fourth St., Tillamook, 503-842-3433 to register or for additional information. The next meeting of the Emergency Preparedness Committee will be held at the Fire Station Jan. 15, at 5:30 p.m. Darrell Griffith announced at the last meeting on December 11 that he planned to do another tabletop exercise. This time, he said, he’ll make use of telephone, HAM and FRS radio, as one would in a real event. Darrell said he expects to have the new HAM base station by then, set to communicate on both HAM and FRS frequencies. Wendy Schink will have her team of block captains meeting at the Community Hall then, and will participate in the tabletop drill from there, to develop communications protocols, among other things. Wendy and the Block Captains, and anyone else interested in learning about the city’s Map Your Neighborhood grass roots emergency preparedness program, will meet Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, at the Fire Station, from 10 a.m. to noon. The agenda includes discussion of what support the Block Captains need when meeting their neighbors, command and communication structure, and FRS radio training. I’ll look forward to seeing you there. Next week I will have a more thorough explanation of the resignation of David Pace. Merry Christmas and see you around town.
Time to set fire to the Christmas tree
E
veryone knows the origin of Christmas, the mass celebrating the birthday of baby Jesus. How, you might be wondering, did all this other stuff get added to Bethlehem, a date-eating desert town, like peppermint sticks and spray-on snow? Unlike my usual practice, I’m making none of this up. We either invented it over a long period of time like Santa Claus which started out as the pagan god Odin and then was added to and modified by songs, poems, and the Coco Cola Company, but is still a pretty weird figure for a religious day. Or if we’re tired we just grab something cool from any handy culture, like the origin of the Christmas tree which we think is pretty naked without a maddening string of electric lights and glass balls which symbolize burning candles which symbolized the stars Martin Luther saw shining through the branches of a fir tree, a nice story that never happened but the truth is even cooler, which is the Druids wrapped a fir tree with the festive intestines of their enemies and set fire to the
SCHUBERT MOORE 503-965-3681 schubert906@gmail.com
whole thing. The story of Santa makes me happy. It’s what we do best, basic storytelling, adding and changing, the way we tell our personal stories, where the goal is not so much accuracy as a good time. A reindeer whose nose glows in the dark and saves the day invented by a country western singer? Why not? Take the traditional Christmas dinner. What about a turkey says Christmas? If you have a teenage daughter she’s probably asking, aren’t we still eating turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving? She would have prepared herself by googling and would say something like, Mom, as a cook, doesn’t this show a
lack of imagination on your part? Shouldn’t turkey be the traditional Christmas dinner of, well, Turkey, which was mistakenly named Turkey because the guinea fowl was mistaken for the turkey so the guinea fowl traders were mistakenly called turkey traders like America was mistakenly called India because the GPS hadn’t been invented yet? It’s at his point Mom opens the traditional Christmas wine a little early. Maybe you’re a little tired of turkey. Maybe you’d like to have what some of the rest of the world is having. In France the Christmas dinner is snails or bloated liver of goose, take your pick. In Nigeria you’re going to need your live goat. In Austria, fried carp. Iceland, roast reindeer (You can have the punchline. If you’re too tired, how about, I’m sorry, Blitzen. We had a lottery. You lost.). In Sweden, gelatinous, strong-smelling lye fish. In Portugal, salted cod, Romania, pork organs, Slovakia, garlic waffles, Mexico, pig intestine soup. In China the traditional Christmas dinner
will be served at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Maybe roast turkey is not sounding so bad. I remember one Christmas in particular I cooked a Christmas goose. I should have suspected something when I found it at the bottom of the store’s freezer and identified it by knocking the frost off so I could read the label. I was wrongly warned to prick the skin a thousand times or it would be so greasy we’d gag. I now know the meaning of when my goose is cooked. An ice storm had rendered everyone I knew immobile. Sunlight shining through glazed branches spread ten thousand tiny rainbows on the ice crust. We had a fire in the fireplace. Our ten-year-old had toys. I had been given three thousand pages of Dune anthology. If you put enough gravy on, even dry goose is good. This was before social media. My wife and I were at peace. We found we didn’t speak much that day. We didn’t need to. All the traditions we needed were in our house. We hope yours is, too.

Rockaway Lions providing thanksgiving baskets to the community
The Rockaway Lions Club distributed 24 Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. Marilyn Kaleikilo, Vickie Bartlett and Cecile Doyle worked through the summer with fund raisers to keep the Club House pantry full of canned food and other staples. We had donations from The Garibaldi Cannery, Seven Rivers Coffee Co., Franz Bakery, and Turkeys from the North Coast Food Bank. We thank you all for making a very Happy Thanksgiving for these families.
