More than 200 people came out to the Tillamook County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 18, raising more than $36,000 to support Tillamook County Search and Rescue.
Attendees were treated to a tritip dinner courtesy of Mike Bentley and the team at Pacific Restaurant before a live auction.
“It always humbles me to see the support our office has from this amazing community,” said Tillamook Sheriff Josh Brown. “The amount of money we raised is directly a result of the generosity of the local businesses, residents and other community members, and it is greatly appreciated.”
The annual gathering is the main fundraising opportunity for the search and rescue team, which is coordinated by and assists the
sheriff’s office respond to a wide variety of situations across the county.
The evening kicked off with an opportunity for the guests to mingle and sample hors d’oeuvres and bid on silent auction items that had been donated by a variety of businesses. Tillamook County Sheriff Josh Brown then welcomed the guests before dinner service started.
A group of volunteer wait staff then served dinner, which consisted
of tri-tip prepared by Mike Bentley, salad and sides prepared by Pacific Restaurant and cupcakes for dessert from Ona’s Patisserie in North Plains.
After dinner concluded, Brown returned to the stage and handed out a Sheriff’s Award for Civilian Commendation to Neila Bautista, owner of the Pacific Restaurant, in recognition of her volunteer efforts.

Roam America, a campground operator building a portfolio across the American west, is working to upgrade the facilities at the Old Mill RV Park and Event Center, which is being rebranded as Roam America Old Mill. The upgrade will see the campground’s clubhouse and bathhouse facilities upgraded, the addition of a low-level net ropes course and firepit, and the upgrade of 70 RV sites.
“The vision of Roam America was to try to bring really nice camping and campsites and modern amenities to the masses,” said Roam America’s Vice President of Operations Scott Mcgee. “Really unpretentious camping with a focus on clean amenities, modern facilities, tech focused on making the guest experience the best it can be from booking through pre-arrival to post-departure.”
Roam America acquired the campground in late 2020 and took over operations last summer but have been focusing on construction
of a facility in Page, Arizona, which recently opened, before beginning work in Garibaldi.
McGee said that the focus of renovations on existing structure will be on preserving the character of the buildings, while repairing any issues and adding modern touches. “We want to add to but not take away from the originality of the place,” McGee said.
Primary focus will be on updating the campground’s bath house facilities and improving the clubhouse facility at the east end of the site, with both interior and exterior
upgrades, including the addition of a Sauna. Roam America will also be adding a low-level ropes course, mostly consisting of nets and not requiring a harness, and firepit near the clubhouse, and is hoping to have those projects complete by July 4. The next stage of the project will see 70 RV sites improved, transitioning from parking spots on the grass to gravel parking pads with paved patios and full hookups. The addition of the new sites will bring the total available at the campground to just under 200, with
another 31 tent camping sites also available.
The event center on the property will continue to be available for community use during events like the annual Garibaldi Crab Races.
McGee said that Roam America’s goal with the upgrades is to increase the average length of stays from its current 2.1 days to 2.8.
“We’re just trying to modernize what’s already there but stay true to form,” McGee said, “add a lot of cool things that we think our guests will really like, add to their experience.”

A deep-sea angler fish, called a Pacific football fish (Himantoliphus sagamius) has been found by local beachcombers just south of Cannon Beach.
Living in complete darkness, at 2,000 -3,300 feet, these fish are rarely seen, according to the Seaside Aquarium.
“In fact, only 31 specimens have been recorded around the world,” the Aquarium operators state in a Facebook post. “While a handful of football fish have been recorded in New Zealand, Japan, Russia, Hawaii, Ecuador, Chile, and California this is the first one reported on the Oregon Coast to our knowledge.”

Little is known about the football fish history but what is known is unusually fascinating, the Aquarium officals write.
“Like other angler fish, the outback fist use light that shines from a phosphorescent bulb on their forehead to attract prey,” the Facebook post reads. “Food at the depths that these guys peruse can be very sparse, so football fish are not picky eaters. They eat anything that can fit into their mouths.”
Only females actively
hunt as the males are actually more like parasites. Males being 10 times smaller than females, find a female to fuse themselves to, according to the Aquarium. “They lose their eyes and internal organs, getting
all their nutrients from their female partners. In return, they provide females with a steady source of sperm,” the Facebook post states. “How the males find the females in the pitch dark is still unknown.”
The Garibaldi city council approved a $179,000 repair to a failing sewer line running beneath Highway 101 at their meeting on May 20. The council also approved an increase to water and sewer rates in the city and discussed the impacts of infrastructure projects on this year’s Garibaldi Days parade. A sewer line running underneath Highway 101 between Sixth and Seventh Streets was recently discovered to be partially collapsed. With the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) poised to begin a major upgrade to Highway 101, Interim City Manager Liane Welch said that it was important for the work to be completed before that project begins.
To that end, Welch recommended that the council forgo the normal bidding process and instead award the contract directly to Advanced Excavation, which has done similar work for the city before. The council concurred with Welch and approved the contract for a total of $179,128.50.
Both water and sewer rates will be increasing by 4.1% and rates for commercial and residential customers will be standardized going forward. Welch said that the 4.1% raise was pegged to the consumer price index and that she recommended the rate reconciliation as businesses that had previously taken advantage of the lower commercial rates had since closed.
The base rate for water will now be $37.62 for up to 4,000 gallons of monthly use, while sewer service will
now cost $62.71 for the same volume. The increases will take effect on July 1. Council also approved a sewer waiver program for irrigation activity during summer months. Residents who wish to participate will need to contact city hall monthly and will have the difference between their average sewer discharge in summer months and winter months subtracted from their sewer bill.
The question of the Garibaldi Days parade came up as planning for the annual festival progresses while ODOT plans to begin work on Highway 101 and the adjacent sidewalks this summer. Garibaldi Days are scheduled from July 26 to 28 this year.
Currently, there is not a schedule set for the work, for which a contract was recently awarded to a contractor. Welch said that she
would be in communication with the contractor about their planned work schedule and that there was a possibility that the parade could proceed.
However, there is a good chance that by late July the sidewalks lining the parade route between Third and Seventh Streets will be unsafe for spectators. Mayor Katie Findling said that if that was the case, holding the parade and risking the safety of spectators would be an illadvised choice. Findling said that she and Welch had begun discussing the possibility of hosting an alternate event, should the parade prove unfeasible. Findling said that the event could include local police and firemen displaying their equipment, a petting zoo or other family-friendly activities as a substitute for the parade.

The Cape Kiwanda Lot south of Dorymen’s Way is open and free to park!
The month of May presented the project team with great weather for the paving of the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot. Just ahead of Memorial Day weekend, paving has been completed for the lot and adjacent areas of Cape Kiwanda Drive, Circle Drive, and Webb Park Road. While the portion of the parking lot north of Dorymen’s Way remains under construction, the parking lot south of Dorymen’s Way will be open for business by Friday, May 24th, and parking is free until the full reconstruction is complete! Paid parking will then go back into effect. Please note that ADA, electric vehicle (EV), and motorcycle parking is not yet designated with pavement markings or signs. Memorial Day visitors to Cape Kiwanda will also notice that the planters, boulders, and grading of the common areas have been completed. Coming up next is the installation of the metal roof on the new restrooms, giving shape to the clean new look for users who will no longer have to travel far from the beach to gain easy access. (Porta potties will be made available during Memorial Day
weekend). Prior to construction, the existing parking lot provided parking for 126 vehicles. When complete, the new parking lot will provide 131 parking spaces (115 standard parking spaces, 5 ADA accessible parking stalls, 5 EV charging spaces, 1 ADA accessible EV charging space, and 5 motorcycle parking spaces).
Tillamook County and the Cape Kiwanda Project Team are excited to reach this milestone and kick off the busy season! The full reconstruction of the lot remains on schedule to be open in July of 2024.
What remains to be completed at the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot:
• Striping of the lot’s north side
• Continuation of restroom finishes and roof
• Foot wash station located near the restroom
• Surfboard and bicycle racks
• Site lighting and EV charging stations
• Plantings and site furnishings
• Enclosed plank storage and refuse area
• Vehicular and wayfinding signage
Where else can you park?
• Free Public Parking Lot (86 parking stalls behind Doryland Pizza and
only a 2-minute walk to Cape Kiwanda)
• Nestucca Valley Community Alliance Skatepark (55 parking stalls and only a 5-minute walk to Cape Kiwanda)
• Pacific City Boat Launch (60 parking stalls including space for large motorized vehicles).
• Bob Straub State Park (60 parking stalls with direct access to the beach)
• Pacific City Turnaround (20 parking stalls and a quaint walk across the Beachy Bridge to local shops and food)
• Kiawanda Community Center (47 parking stalls). Free to the public on weekdays but no overnight parking.
The parking lot reconstruction is the first phase of Tillamook County’s Kiwanda Corridor Project (KCP) to be built. It also incorporates infrastructure for future wayfinding connections to the five other project elements of the KCP. For more information on the overall KCP please visit the project website: https://tillamookcoast. com/southcounty/kiwandacorridor.

The six project elements include:
• Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot
• Jensen Property
• Nestucca Valley Community Alliance Park
• Multi-Use Path
• Webb Park
• Shorepine Village Boardwalk
The KCP’s values are:
• Place: Honor the natural and built heritage of Pacific City

The Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) Board of Education has accepted the qualified low bid of $17,550,000 from Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company (KNCC) to construct the TBCC’s new 28,000 sq. ft. Healthcare Education building. The college originally reviewed unsealed bids on May 7 at 2 p.m. This is a bond-funded construction project, and TBCC is obligated by state
procurement law to accept the lowest bid. KNCC proposed the lowest bid and came within the anticipated budget. KNCC has over 38 years of construction experience and serves all of Oregon and parts of southern Washington; their educational construction background is also extensive. They have worked on many educationbased projects including a 43,795 sq. ft. building for
Clackamas Community College (CCC) with an attached 2,500 sq. ft. event hall, the 37,618 sq. ft. Technology Education Center on Central Oregon Community College’s (COCC) Redmond campus that houses research labs for veterinary technician programs, and various buildings for colleges and universities across the state such as Eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, the Bend campus of COCC, and
more. Staff and faculty at the college are excited to see the transformation. The President of TBCC, Dr. Paul Jarrell, stated, “We are so excited to see the construction of our new Healthcare Education facility begin next month. We could not be happier with Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company as the General Contractor for this work. They will be a great addition to our team,
which includes Wenaha Group for project management and Opsis Architecture for planning and design. This campus and community transformation would not be possible without the strong support of our community. We look forward to seeing you all on campus for our official groundbreaking.”
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for TBCC’s Healthcare Education Building will take place on June
21 at 1 PM with formal remarks starting around 1:30 PM. TBCC President Dr. Paul Jarrell will be there alongside important dignitaries. As a bond-funded project, the construction of the Healthcare Education Building would not be possible without the support of Tillamook County residents. Please come by the college and join the celebration at the Groundbreaking Ceremony on June 21 at 1 p.m.
Amidst twinkling lights and a jubilant atmosphere, the North County Recreation District (NCRD) welcomed over 125 guests to the Gala Dinner and Auction event to support the construction of the new Aquatics Facility. From the moment guests stepped through the doors on May 3rd, the air was electric with anticipation. Buttercup’s delectable cuisine, earning rave reviews from attendees, made for an evening of culinary delight and heartfelt giving. Frank Squillo, owner of Wanda’s and our esteemed Master of Ceremonies for the evening, added an extra layer of charm and charisma, guiding guests through the night with his trademark wit and
grace. The Gala proved to be a testament to the community’s dedication beginning from the overwhelming success of contributions in response to the invitation mailer. Auction bids and donations during the event amounted to $16,401. A significant boost came from an anonymous double-donor, doubling contributions to a remarkable $32,802.
But the true magic of the evening unfolded when the spotlight shifted to a standing ovation for Adventist Health’s momentous announcement of $500,000 for the Therapy Pool. The impact of their generosity reverberated throughout the room, setting the stage for
a new chapter in NCRD’s history.
“A therapy pool is a game changer in North Tillamook County,” expressed Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook. “We have been providing medical care in the community since the 1980s, replacing Nehalem Volunteer Ambulance. We want to be a part of what happens in North Tillamook County now and in the future … and we wanted to make a significant contribution that supports that intent.”
NCRD extends heartfelt thanks to all who made it a memorable experience. To our guests, auction bidders and donors for supporting our mission. To Friends of
NCRD for sponsoring the event, as well as to Home + Sea Realty and Pelican Brewing for a combined $10,500 in sponsorship contributions. To the Mudd Nick Foundation, for their generosity and steadfast commitment to NCRD’s mission.
To our auction sponsors—Nehalem River Ranch, Pacific Roots, Riverbend Players, Seaside Coasters, Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts, Oregon Coastal Scenic Railroad, Siggi-G Ocean Charters, Nordic Pirate Guide Services, Port of Garibaldi, Garibaldi Marina, Nehalem TideRunners Dragonboat Team, artist Shirl Ireland, Alderbrook Golf Course, and Pauseful Massage and Botanicals— thank you for your generous
contributions.
NCRD extends immense gratitude to staff, volunteers, and our team of professionals. To NCRD Fitness Director Hannah Culver, Administrative Assistant Kiley Konruff, and superstar-volunteer Wendy Baker, whose meticulous planning went above and beyond. To Buttercup, for their culinary artistry. To Jane Scott Productions for capturing the laughter and camaraderie of the evening, ensuring that every moment would be remembered.
The resounding success of the event underscores the many years of dedication and support from so many people and organizations from across our District and beyond. Fiorelli Consulting expressed their deep gratitude, stating, “We have been
honored to lead the capital campaign over the past year and to be a part of something so special with such an amazing group of kind and dedicated people.”
Since voting in favor of forming the Recreation District in 1996, the community’s ongoing support has served as a beacon of hope for the realization of NCRD’s vision to make real differences in the lives we serve. That generosity has enabled us to grow and thrive, and the new Aquatics Center reaffirms our commitment for generations to come.

Here we are in late May already with Memorial Day weekend behind us. I do hate to see the end of May coming as it is my favorite month of the year. Spring shrubs look their best, the Clematis Montana ‘Warwick Rose’ at my front gate is spectacular, and the Dutch iris are blooming. Time to plant out those annuals for a pop of color and to get the tomatoes and peppers into the ground as soon as the soil temperatures warm up to a consistent 50 degrees.
I have an area in my garden that needs some serious renovation and now is a good time to do it. This particular bed is part of the view from my kitchen window where I used to be able to see my Rhododendron ‘Nancy Evans’ every morning. Nancy is a particularly pretty rhodie that starts out with pinkish-yellow flowers that turn a brighter yellow as they mature. I had that rhodie for almost 18 years and it was one of my favorites. (The attached photo shows her in her prime.)
I use the past tense as Nancy has been removed. About three years ago, she started to fail. Where I used to count 200 blossoms on the four-foot-high shrub, she only had 20 blooms. (I know because I counted them as I was removing the spent flowers each June.) Two years ago, she was down to 10 and last Spring, she only had 4 blooms. Besides that, she was dropping leaves when she shouldn’t be and generally looked pretty sad. I cut her back dramatically last June, hoping that would spur on new growth as it does in most plants. But by November, Nancy only had 3 tiny leaves and I knew she was on her last legs. On
a nice day in February, I cut her down to the ground. But I noticed in late April that my Japanese maple ‘Autumn Moon’ that had thrived next Nancy for a decade was also looking sad and troubled. I cut off a small branch to find there was no green wood left, nor was there any green wood on subsequent branches from different parts of the tree. And by last week, there were only 3 leaves on the whole maple. It was time to let Autumn go, too. So, I got out my shovel and dug up the roots and dispatched the tree to the brush pile. But I was concerned. What the heck was happening in that area? Time to put on my detective hat and get out the Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass. Upon inspection of the maple, I found her roots to be healthy and undamaged. No sign of Phytophthora root rot or Verticillium wilt, both common fungal diseases in Japanese maples in the Pacific Northwest. “Sherlock” was stumped.
Then I explored the area where these two thriving plants had lived for many years without an issue. And as I dug around in the soil, I found a maze of small tunnels under where the two plants had been. No mole hills, nor vole entries, so I ruled those out. But what I seriously suspect are chip-

munk tunnels. For the area where the ‘Nancy Evans’ and ‘Autumn Moon’ were located is next to a stacked stone wall where I have seen numerous chipmunks (or maybe just the same one or two?) hang out over the years.
Then I remembered last summer when I had planted some hosta at the base of the maple that the ground seemed to be collapsing. I spent a lot of my time stomping down soft areas in the soil and finally wound up placing large rocks in the beds just to deter further tunneling. And that seemed to work. I am not going to poison the chipmunks or try to trap them. I want them to leave on their own volition.
I can spray natural oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, citrus or clove oil mixture in water and sprayed on the plants, or I can sprinkle cayenne pepper or ground chili on the soil. Letting the dog out to chase the chippies is another solution so long as the dog doesn’t take it upon herself to chase the chipmunks to the ends of the earth. I don’t want to go to the expense of buying a new maple or rhodie until I am certain the problem as defined has been addressed. While I am not interested in replacing the maple and rhodie with similar plants just yet, the empty space needed to be addressed. More hosta and some shade grasses have helped fill in the area in a short amount of time.
I have looked upon this as being an opportunity to make a change in the garden instead of seeing it as a negative thing. Afterall, “Chip ‘n’ Dale’s” ancestors lived in the garden before I moved in.

I’ll never forget driving more than 600 miles up and down Oregon during the 2020 Labor Day fires. I saw towns destroyed and never once broke free from the thick smoke. I was deeply moved by that heartbreaking experience.
May is Wildfire Awareness Month, so I want to make sure you’re aware of how I’m working to protect Oregon’s communities from wildfire threats.
In April, I led Oregon’s entire Congressional delegation in a letter urging the Secretary of the Interior and the director of the Bureau of Land Management to renew the Western Oregon Operating Plan, known as WOOP. This effective, century-old fire management system expires at the end of June, so we’re pushing to extend it another five years to continue critical fire response preparedness and coordination for western Oregon.
As chair of the subcommittee that directly oversees the budgets for these agencies, and as the only Oregonian on the spending committee, I made sure that the government funding bills we passed in March made big investments in wildfire management. They included $4 billion for wildfire suppression operations across the country, $7 million for smoke mitigation through the program I created at the Environmental Protection Agency, and
$31 million for the national Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program, which includes five collaboratives across Oregon that are proven models for forest management.
In addition, I’ve introduced the Wildfire Resilient Communities Act to provide $30 billion to increase federal wildfire reduction projects and triple funding, up to $3 billion, for the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program. And I worked across the aisle to save the Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers, which operate three locations in Oregon, including one in Yachats, training young people for conservation careers, like wildland firefighting. We also need to invest in our firefighters. Between 2017 and 2022, Oregon received more than $43 million in Assistance to Firefighter Grants to purchase needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, and trainings. That’s in addition to more than $33 million awarded to Oregon over the same period to recruit and retain trained frontline firefighters. This month, I once again led a bipartisan group of Senators calling for additional funding to train National Guard members to fight wildfires. And I support making permanent the pay increases for federal wildland firefighters provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
You don’t have to be near a wildfire to be harmed
by it, so I’ve introduced two bills to support Oregon families and businesses from smoke and heat hazards.
The first is the Smoke and Heat Ready Communities Act to help communities develop new tools to protect the public during extreme smoke and heat events, like creating cool spaces with clean air that can be a safe refuge in dangerous conditions.
The second is the Wildfire Smoke Emergency Declaration Act, which would empower the President to declare a “smoke emergency” and mobilize the federal government to aid states and local communities, establish emergency shelters, and assist with relocation efforts, just like for a flood or storm.
It also would allow small businesses to access federal resources to recover from what can be a huge financial hit, from grape growers in the Willamette Valley to the furniture store owner in Southern Oregon who told me about how their entire stock had been ruined by smoke. Our communities deserve the same recovery assistance for natural disasters as other regions, even if our emergencies look different out West.
Wildfires, severe smoke, and extreme heat aren’t going away anytime soon, so I’ll keep fighting for the resources to ensure that Oregon’s communities and forests are safe and prepared.

T
he Cape Meares Community Association’s (CMCA’s) annual meeting and first appreciation banquet on May 18 was a resounding success. About 40 individuals attended, enjoying hors d’oeuvres and drinks in the Red Shed, then moving to the Barbara Bennett Community Center for a potluck dinner and dessert. Both venues were lovely, set up with flower arrangements by Narayan Lincoln and Spike Klobas and the event was well-organized by Bev Stein, Mimi Maduro, Kathy Burke, Spike Klobas, Mary Gordon and Wendy Burroughs. Several officers from CMCA gave updates over dinner. Funding is being pur-
D owntown and the port are looking like a display exhibit to commercial and seafaring construction with all the machines around. From the machine on the ODOT-purchased lot at 7th and U.S. 101, to the barge docked at the port, ready to ferry those gargantuan boulders to the south jetty, it’s hard not to be fascinated with the progress. Speaking of progress, 4 important city-based items. Let’s go… 1) U.S. 101 will be getting ripped up between 6th and 7th St. beginning June 3rd, but it will NOT be a part of the repaving project. The one-off project is to repair a partially collapsed sewer line that can’t wait. The other reason, for those wanting to know why we couldn’t suffer along until the U.S. 101 repaving project begins, is good ole’ fashioned cost. Per conversations with Mayor Katie
sued for the installation of solar panels on the community center. The Watershed Conservancy Project, a land deal among various entities with the goal of protecting Cape Meares’s watershed, remains on track. Cape Meares Lake is healthy. The disaster preparedness team purchased more essentials for the community’s emergency sheds. Signs, both informative and directional, are in the works and will appear in Cape Meares over the summer. An attractive brochure, the Cape Meares Good Neighbor Guide, was unveiled at the annual meeting. The Guide, paid for by Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, explains beach-
and notes from our City Manager Pro Tem Liane Welch, to add this sewer repair to the U.S 101 repaving project would require a change order to the contract with ODOT. That route would have cost the city significantly more than to do the patchwork now. So, to pinch the pennies and hug the dollars we have, we’re going to have to suffer another week. Here’s a note from Welch regarding the project: “The City of Garibaldi has signed a contract for emergency sewer work. Advanced Excavation will start work on June 3, on Hwy 101 between 6th and 7th Streets. The highway will be down to one lane during the day with flaggers, emergency vehicles will be able to get through the work zone. This work will last about 1 week. This partially collapsed sewer repair needs to be done prior the start of the ODOT highway project,

2) The great Garibaldi Days Parade debate. During the May 2024 monthly meeting, city council came to a consensus of sorts to allow City staff to work up options and solutions to sort out the safest way to keep the tradition alive, whatever form that may take. For background: we won’t know until June at the earliest whether sidewalks will even exist to safely have a pa-
I finally made time last Sunday to drop by “Bookish,” the new book shop in Cloverdale. Located in the “little purple house” across U.S. Highway 101 from The Rusty Cow antique shop, I enjoyed meeting the owner Lin, and browsing for books. I see that she has my favorite children’s story of all time (Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey) available for sale, so I definitely trust her taste in books. The shop is open from noon to 5 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, weekly.
Clover’s Day will be celebrated from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 6 in downtown Clover-
close, a number of individuals were singled out for their contributions to the community. Randy Klobas spearheaded the transformation of the Red Shed from spider haven to clean utility center. Patti and Mike Smith were heralded for their never-ending work maintaining and managing the community center. Bev Stein was lauded for her leadership. The entire Cape Meares team of volunteer firefighters was heralded, with a special shout-out to retiring Mike Smith. Other community contributors were mentioned in the evening’s crowning touch, a poem giving a historical view of CMCA that was written and read by Deborah Thomas Neal. The poem,
rade. If they’re torn up, the risk for accident and injury is high, and safety is the top priority. We all want to have a great time, and enjoy a parade, but not at the cost of anyone getting hurt.
It harkens back to memories of 2020 when citizens rallied together for an unofficial parade caravan through town, as well as the 2021 “Lite” edition that was successfully pieced together within weeks. We should know by the end of June what exactly will be happening between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the Saturday of Garibaldi Days. If there isn’t a parade, Mayor Katie assures me there are wildly exciting, alternative ideas up the planners’ sleeves.

Last week marked the return of regularly scheduled daily Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad trips between Rockaway Beach and Garibaldi, just in time for the Memorial Day weekend and the beginning of summer vacation.
From now through September 22, the train makes two stops every weekday, arriving in Rockaway at 10:30 and 12:30, with departures 30 minutes later.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the train adds a 2:30 arrival in Rockaway, with a 3:00 departure to Garibaldi. There are a few changes this year. One of the biggest: the OCSR website lets you choose the time of your return trip. In the past, the train stopped in Rockaway for 30 minutes, leaving barely enough time for visitors to walk to the edge of the Wayside and see the vista from Twin Rocks to Arch Cape.
Now, visitors can catch the train in Garibaldi at 10 a.m. and arrive in Rockaway at 10:30. But instead of rushing to get back on the train by its 11 a.m. return, they can select the 1 p.m. return trip on weekdays, or the 3 p.m. trip on the
“Confessions of a Former President: What Goes Around Comes Around,” got rave reviews and will be posted on capemeares.org for us all to enjoy. Speaking of writing, I hope you read the letter “Preserving Tillamook Bay: Why We Must Act Against Destructive Aquaculture Practices” in the May 14 edition of this paper. This piece clearly lays out the importance of eelgrass to the commercial and sport fishing industries and, in turn, tourism in Tillamook County. Mechanized methods of removing eelgrass are the most harmful means of aquaculture. As the article makes clear, oyster farming can be done in a manner

3) Budget meetings will begin this week. May 28th & 29th, 4 p.m. start times. Shoutouts to whoever decided to not have them begin in the morning, for those like Councilor Gierga and Mayor Katie who have day jobs. As seeming tradition at this point, this budget was put together with urgency and sweat equity by Welch and our new finance officer, Becca Harth. Shoutouts to them for coming in at the

Either way, this gives train riders the time to explore our towns, whether for a leisurely lunch, a round of miniature golf at Troxel’s, a short stroll on the beach, or a search for the perfect memento at one of our shops along 101.

The question I hear most often from visitors to the Historic Caboose on my Tuesday shifts: “Is this where we buy tickets for the train?” The answer is yes and no, of course. Yes, the train stops here, and yes, you can buy tickets, and if you haven’t made advance reservations, you can buy tickets from the conductor when the train arrives. You can also book tickets on their website, at https://oregoncoastscenic. org. Look for the yellow book now button in the center of the home page, or click the Train Rides tab from the list of options at the top. The site explains how to book outbound and return trip tickets to choose the length of your stay.
Prices for the round trip are $30 for adults (between 12 and 54), $22 for children ages 3-12, and $25 for seniors (54 and up) and veter-

Chet grew up in North Portland near Peninsula Park, where he spent a significant amount of his childhood playing basketball. He attended Central Catholic High School, where his mother knew the nuns would raise him up! After graduating from the University of Portland with a degree in education, Chet began a lifetime of educating and coaching, mostly on the Oregon Coast. Throughout his life, Chet continued to follow the sports programs of his alma maters and contributed financially to those learning institutions for the remainder of his life. In 2010, he was recognized by Central Catholic in their “Hall of Friends” for his financial support and was also inducted into the “President’s Club” at the University of Portland. When Chet took his first teaching position in Sublimity at Saint Bonifice High School, he took his younger brother with him in an effort to help raise him; he was always mentoring, even as a big brother! Chet then transferred to Tillamook Catholic High School teaching and coaching. His next stop was the Tillamook School District, where he taught Social Studies classes and coached a little bit of everything…boys’ golf, basketball, and football, along with girls’ golf, basketball, and softball, and even track and field! The girls’ basketball team was an icon for a decade and lovingly referred to as “Chet’s Angel’s” by the school and community. Those who were fortunate enough to be known as one of the Angel’s held that name with high distinction, and many little girls spent their Sunday afternoons in the THS gym attending free clinics and hoping to become an Angel some day!
Chet finished his career in Tillamook serving as Athletic Director and retired from the Cheesemakers in 1993. Neah-Kah-Nie High School then took the opportunity of Chet’s newfound free time to hire him as their girls’ basketball coach, where he went on to coach the Pirates for seven years. Chet supported both of these high school sports’ programs well into his retirement by collecting pop cans at 5 cents apiece and donating the proceeds to the athletic departments. That small gesture eventually totaled over $20,000 deposited into THS’s “Chet Fund” to benefit young student athletes! Chet was also a class advisor and enjoyed remaining connected to his former students and attending all of the class reunions. He spent his entire life influencing and raising up generations of high schoolers in Tillamook County, influencing them as a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend.
Chet was obviously passionate about sports, but he was also a walking encyclopedia of sports’ statistics; he could describe in great detail the teams, scores, years, players, and memorable plays over his many years of coaching! Although his love of coaching began early (as a high school senior
he coached baseball for the Catholic Youth Organization), as an adult, he was still a fan and an athlete. He was devoted to the New York Yankees and was also an avid golfer, playing as much as he could. He enjoyed his many friendships at Alderbrook Golf Course, where he was President of the Men’s Club for years, as well as being the Handicap Chairman. Chet oversaw many local tournaments and was instrumental in their success; he provided a great deal of dedication to the golfing community. Chet enjoyed the tranquility of his home, facing the 9th fairway of Alderbrook and managed to collect thousands of balls in his yard from friends’ errant shots.
Chet was a volunteer for the Tillamook County Fair, manning the parimutuel window for the horse races for many seasons. Chet enjoyed traveling to Palm Springs with friends from Tillamook to socialize and golf; it was a highlight every year.
Chet was preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Virginia Howlett, and his brothers.
Although Chet had no traditional family of his own, he created a whole community of true family everywhere he went: Fred Meyer, The Fern, Alice’s, TCCA for ice cream cones, Cabin Coffee, and beyond. His influence and genuine love of others will never be forgotten.
Well done, Chet.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on Sun., June 23, 2024 at Alderbrook Golf Course “The Mook.”
In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to Tillamook High School Athletic Department for boys and girls golf, softball and girls’ basketball. Contact Tillamook Athletic Department 503-842-2566 ext. 2325.
Kyle Christopher Prulhiere
Sept. 14, 1990 ~ April 28, 2024
On April 28, 2024 Kyle Christopher Prulhiere passed away suddenly in his home in Tillamook at the age of 33.
Kyle was born on September 14, 1990 in Grants Pass, OR to parents Michelle Raymond and Glyn Prulhiere, the third of their four boys. After moving to Tillamook as a young boy, he later returned to Grants Pass and graduated from Grants Pass High School in 2009. The following summer, Kyle entered basic training and joined the US Navy, going on to become a machinist’s mate on the USS Essex stationed out of Japan. After his time in the Navy, Kyle returned to Tillamook and would call it home for the rest of his life. He found his tribe of dedicated and loving friends there, eventually meeting his fiancée Brittany McIntyre and her two children that he adored, Kaden and Chloe. They would become each other’s rock and with her, they shared a love of farming, motorcycles, concerts, and each other.
People knew Kyle for his loud entrances, affinity for costumes, his talent for cooking and hosting, his love of fishing and bow hunting, and a passion for competing in the Tillamook Demolition Derby. Kyle prided himself on bringing laughter to those around him over one of his famous roast dinners and was an excellent person for a raunchy joke, no matter the
circumstances or how ready you were to hear it. Above all else, Kyle could be counted on to go out of his way for his friends and family for anything they needed, paying no mind to how difficult the task may be. More than anything, Kyle wanted to be a hero and for a time was a volunteer firefighter for the Tillamook and Garibaldi Fire Departments. He once opened up his home in Tillamook during a multiple-day flooding and power outage to his family without power, telling them “we’ll feed you and warm you.” Kyle was a deeply caring man beneath his gruff exterior and would check in with his family to see what was going on with everyone, from calls with his parents and siblings to dropping in to homes for a random visit. He will be dearly and sorely missed by his parents, his brothers and sisters, and his family that he was about to embark on his

OHA’s youth field events offer kids a chance to sharpen their outdoor skills and learn new ones. Opportunities typically include such offerings as

ans with military ID. Infants 2 and under ride free.
One special offering this year: you can ride in the cab with the engineer for $100. There are a few stipulations: cab ride passengers must be 18 or older to ride by themselves in the engine. Children 10-18 years old must be supervised by an adult who also will need a cab ride ticket. Children 10 and under are not permitted in the cab.
The cab ride automatically includes a return trip ticket after the half-hour layover. If you want to extend your stay and take a return trip at a later time, you’ll need to book your return (at no additional charge) in one of the passenger cars.
After some of the conversations I’ve had with visitors in the Caboose, I can see this being an exciting addition for some of the rail enthusiasts who come in to ask questions. I’ve spoken with visitors from across the U.S. and Canada who eagerly anticipate the ride, especially when the steam engines are in operation.
A word on that: the #25 McCloud steam engine, familiar to Rockaway residents from the Santa Claus Express for our holiday treelighting ceremony, is nearly finished with its 1472-day service and maintenance. Till then, the 1947 dieselelectric engine will be doing the honors.

Adventist Health Tillamook announces Lauren Walker, RN, has been honored with the 2024 DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. This prestigious award recognizes nurses who demonstrate exceptional clinical skills and compassionate care. Lauren, known as “Wren,” to her colleagues, exemplifies these qualities and more, consistently setting a high standard of excellence in patient care. The peers who nominated her for the award described her as a kind, outstanding team member with positive energy and readiness to support her team. She is often the first to respond to patient needs, offering assistance and emotional support to both patients and fellow nurses. One nomination highlighted Wren’s ability to connect deeply with patients,
even in brief interactions. A fellow nurse shared an example of Wren providing calm, compassionate care to a sick patient, starting a new IV and engaging in meaningful conversation about the patient’s family and heritage — all within a few minutes. This dedication to patient care and her calming presence in stressful situations makes Wren a beloved and respected member of the team. Patients and families also praise Wren’s compassionate approach. One patient recounted how Wren‘s care and attention made a hospital stay more comfortable and less frightening for their children. Another shared how Wren’s educational approach helped manage a critical health condition, restoring their faith in the medical system. Wren’s commitment to inclusivity
and patient-centered care ensures that patients and their families are actively involved in their care plans, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. Her ability to educate and empower patients and their families is a testament to her dedication to excellence. Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook, remarked, “Each spring, our hospital partners with the DAISY Foundation to celebrate an Adventist Health Tillamook nurse who demonstrates the highest levels of clinical and compassionate care. This year’s honoree puts her whole heart into caring for every patient; her empathetic presence and excellent clinical approach help patients, their families and her co-workers feel our Adventist Health ‘Be Love’ value.”

of the homes were unoccupied at the time and the third residence was unknown if anyone was home. During operations a victim was seen inside the third residence that had not made it out. Notifications to family members were made by Tillamook County Sheriff’s office and their Chaplain. We would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance on this scene: North Lincoln Fire, Netarts Oceanside, Tillamook Fire, Tillamook Sheriffs, Oregon State Fire Marshall office, Bay City Fire, Tillamook Ambulance, and Garibaldi Fire.
young musicians performed for the three adjudicators and audience. Isabel Flores from Nestucca High School, Isabelle Henry-Sullivan from Nestucca High School and Blake Poblador from Tillamook High School. The out-of-town adju-
dicators were Anna Cosma (piano), Doree Jarboe (vocal) and John Hammond (instrumental). A total of $1,350.00 was awarded the contestants and Isabelle Henry-Sullivan received the Fenton McClellan Gold Cup Award.

If Skaar still commands more than 50% of votes cast when results are finalized in 30 days, she will win reelection, but if she falls below that threshold she will head to a runoff against the second-place vote getter in November.
Javadi took an easy victory against a primary challenge from retired corrections officer Glenn Gaither, winning 71.9% of votes counted across state house district 32 and 76.8% in Tillamook County. Larson was set for a comfortable victory in the race to replace retiring Tillamook County Assessor Denise Van-
decoevering, having received 65.0% of votes counted in the race against Kari Fleisher. The Tillamook Fire District’s request that voters approve a bond of 84 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value trailed with 1,606 of 2,773 or 57.9% of votes cast against the question.

Hillstrom capped a successful high school career at the 4A competition, qualifying for both the 100and 300-meter hurdles, a feat which she managed in three consecutive seasons.
Hillstrom made the finals in both events, earning a fourth-place finish with a personal best time of 16.20 seconds in the 100-meter race, and a sixth-place finish with a 47.62 second race in the 300-meter event. This marked Hillstrom’s third podium appearance in the 100-meter event.
“What a hard-working athlete Shayla is. She does it the right way. She never misses a day, she trains with a purpose, buys into her workout plan and then stays late to get all of her hurdle work in,” said Tillamook Track Head Coach Kye Johnson. “I know she wanted a higher finish in the 300 at state but we are all so proud of her. She’s been a great teammate and a tone-setter for our team.” Avery Reeder finished in sixth place in the women’s high jump for the Mooks, clearing 4 feet 11 ¾ inches, and Riley Huerta, a freshman, took eighth in discus with a personal best throw of 103 feet 3 inches.
On the boys’ side, Juan Gomez finished fourth in the 800-meter race with a time of 2:00.16 and Noel Guttierez came in eighth in discus with a personal best throw of 138

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.

It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being
the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 2/1/2023, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. 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.
