County commissioners weigh in on HCP

RYAN HOOVER WILL CHAPPELL Country Media Inc.

Forest Trust Land Counties and the Department of Forestry

With many of the Oregon Department of Forestry’s current implementation plans expiring in June 2023, each state forest district has approved a Revised Implementation Plan that will serve as a transition to two new, long-term plans being developed by ODF.

Those plans, the forest management plan (FMP) that will govern state forest activities for an indefinite timeframe, and the habitat conservation plan (HCP) that will inform the forest management plan for the next 70 years, are currently the subject of much debate among timber companies, conservationists, ODF’s board and officials and the counties that rely on timber revenues.

County commissioners from across the north coast say that any cuts made under those plans will have drastic, rippling consequences across the economies in their counties.

The revised implementation plans that last until June 2025 list timber harvest levels that county officials expect to be similar to those of the forthcoming FMP and HCP will. In each ODF district except for Tillamook, timber harvest sales will decrease over the coming year when compared to the year prior. The total timber for sale across all districts is set at 165 to 182.5 million board feet (MMBF), 40 to 60 MMBF less than previous timber sale totals.

One way to estimate timber revenues from these harvest levels is through each district’s

annual operating plan (AOP).

AOPs list the predicted net revenues from timber harvest operations for the next fiscal year. Lower timber harvest levels typically mean less revenue for each ODF district. Counties with state forests receive 63.5% of the revenues from state forests within their borders, with the remaining 36.5% going to ODF to fund state forest operations. From there, the county government typically keeps 20% of revenues while the remaining 80% is disbursed to the various school and special districts across the county

Because counties with state forests receive a portion of timber revenues, less revenue for each ODF district typically means less revenue for the counties and special districts in those districts. The Astoria, Forest Grove and West Oregon Districts all predict timber revenue decreases for fiscal year 2024. But it’s not always that straightforward. Timber contracts usually give companies a three-year period to harvest the timber, meaning that districts will see revenue from this year’s contracts only over the course of several years.

Further cushioning the impacts of the new implementation plan is a large amount of timber still standing in state forests from timber

sales in recent years. Volatility in the timber market during the coronavirus pandemic led to many high purchase prices for sales, which led many timber companies to leave more timber standing than they would typically in hopes of maximizing their revenue. This has led to approximately 325 MMBF of sold timber waiting to be harvested across the state forests.

Ron Zilly, Deputy Division Chief for State Forests, clarified this process at a public meeting ODF held earlier this year.

“The revenues in the coming year won’t be significantly affected due to the amount of wood that we already have under contract,” Zilly said. “This gives us some time to assess our organizational structure and needs to effectively implement the habitat conservation plan as well as make spending adjustments.”

Either way, some counties will see timber revenue losses next year, and all counties will have to start preparing for the prospect of future losses. Fortunately, counties have representation with ODF in the form of the Forest Trust Lands Advisory Committee (FTLAC), which has a representative from each county.

The 66th Annual June

Dairy Parade progressed through downtown Tillamook on Saturday, June 24, celebrating a theme of “Trees, Streams and Dairy Dreams.”

More than 60 businesses and organizations participated in the parade, which progressed down Main Street before turns on First and Pacific led to the final stretch on Third Street to Goodspeed Park.

Throngs of citizens gathered to watch the procession and snag goodies from the participants, with many also

attending the Tillamook County Rodeo the same evening.

The Tillamook County Creamery led off the parade, handing out free cheese and showcasing their specialized, Tillamook-branded vans. Several bands played and both the Oregon Coast Dance Center and Tillamook School of Dance had groups of students participating.

A wide array of cars, from vintage Fords to modern Chevrolets also participated in the parade, as did a number of logging trucks, emergency response vehicles, the county’s mobile health clinic and the library’s bookmobile.

New Tillamook superintendent discusses job

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Tillamook’s School District welcomed a new, permanent superintendent on July 1, as Matthew Ellis took over the superintendency from interim Jim Mabbott.

In a recent interview with the Herald, Ellis said he plans to prioritize building relationships across the district and community to learn what changes need to be made to offer Tillamook students the best education.

“Trust takes time to build and any relationship takes effort, so it’s getting to know people, getting to know the community, that has to happen first,” Ellis said.

From an early age Ellis knew that he wanted to

mandated ODF committee that advises ODF’s Board of Forestry on policy matters related to state forestland management. The FTLAC has seven Commissioners that represent the counties that deeded the state forestlands to the state in the 1950s and 1960s on policy issues that affect those lands. The Committee Chair is Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto, and the Vice-chair is Coos County Commissioner John Sweet.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar represents Tillamook County; Clatsop County Commissioner Courtney Bangs represents Clatsop County; Colombia County

Commissioner Margaret Magruder represents Colombia, Clackamas, and Washington Counties; Linn County

Commissioner Will Tucker represents Marion, Linn, Benton, Polk, and Lincoln counties; and Lane County Commissioner David Loveall represents Lane, Coos, Douglas, Klamath, and Josephine counties.

While commissioners had their own takes on how the timber harvest levels in the revised implementation plans will impact the counties they represent, one thing was clear: lower harvest levels will create more obstacles to future financial stability.

Tillamook County: “All bets are off.”

Tillamook County is set to weather the next several years well as timber sales in the upcoming year are projected to remain at the same 47 MMBF as in FY 2023 or slightly increase.

But Yamamoto, Tillamook County Commissioner and FTLAC Chair, is still sounding the alarm about the longterm financial ramifications of an HCP that he says is more restrictive than others being implemented in Oregon and on the west coast.

“Why are the people of the state of Oregon being affected the harshest when it comes to an HCP when the numbers aren’t showing that you’re going to see a concomitant increase in endangered species,” Yamamoto wondered.

Yamamoto specifically pointed to the private forest accord passed in Oregon last year, which also includes an HCP to govern those lands. That accord and HCP were developed in negotiations between timber industry and environmental group representatives.

By contrast, Yamamoto says that the FTLAC has repeatedly been rebuffed in efforts to join the process of crafting the HCP for state forest lands, leaving the task entirely in the hands of representatives from state agencies and environmental groups. Yamamoto has repeatedly complained to the board of forestry about the lack of involvement by the counties, which own the lands while they are held in trust by the state, but he said that those complaints have been met with silence.

Yamamoto also questions the conservational value of the HCP. Yamamoto said that the marbled murrelet population of Oregon has increased 60% in the last 20 years and that Coho salmon are harvested annually in Tillamook watersheds, belying the argument those species need additional protections. As for the spotted owl, Yamamoto points to federal forests where increased habitat conservation over the past 40 years has not led to widespread returns in the face of barred owls competing for food.

Tillamook County receives around $4 million in timber revenue contributions to a $50 million annual general fund budget and is set for financial security for the next few years. However, Yamamoto has been advising department heads to

start thinking of potential budget cuts as he expects the final HCP numbers, expected in November, may reveal lower harvest levels.

“We’re going to be okay for the next year, year and a half, it’s after that that all bets are off,” Yamamoto said.

The financial impacts to the county are only one piece of the puzzle though, Yamamoto cautioned, saying that the impact on employment in the county would be double that of any on the county’s revenues.

“The timber revenue that the county and special districts get, that’s basically a third of what we’re going to need, because two thirds, the bigger portion, the two-thirds are the family-wage, fully benefited jobs that come to special districts and counties,” Yamamoto said.

A loss of timber jobs would have knock-on effects on the county’s economies by depleting its tax base and decreasing economic activity on a more general level, according to Yamamoto. He believes that the Board of Forestry should direct ODF staff to reverse course on the currently proposed HCP and work to craft a new proposal, with help from FTLAC representatives, that will be more in line with others and preserve the economic benefits of the forests.

Clatsop & Columbia Counties: “A huge impact.”

Both Clatsop and Columbia Counties fall into ODF’s Astoria District. Astoria’s revised implementation plan set a harvest level of 48 to 52 MMBF, down from 73 MMBF in the previous implementation plan.

The reduced harvest level will have a huge impact on the revenue that the district receives. For the next fiscal year, Astoria District is projecting net revenues of $20.6 million from timber harvest opera-

tions, a 31% decrease from fiscal year 2023. This will inevitably impact the timber revenue both Clatsop and Columbia Counties receive.

According to Clatsop County Commissioner Courtney Bangs, reduced timber harvest will impact Clatsop County in a number of ways. One will be reduced funding for the county’s general fund and special taxing districts.

“If there is a cutback in harvest, there is a cutback in funding [for those districts],” Bangs said. “For example, our rule of law enforcement is going to have a decrease of $1.4 million [for next year]. When you’re operating on a $5- or $6-million-dollar budget, that’s a huge impact.”

Commissioner Bangs said by far the most overlooked impact of reduced timber harvest was the secondary and tertiary job loss.

“Our major economies are associated with natural resources in our area. And so, when we are projected to have a 30% decrease in revenues, we are also going to see that reflected in the secondary and tertiary job loss. We look at our mill in Warrenton and the secondary and tertiary losses are going to be extreme,” she said.

Because of the three-year period of timber contracts, it is difficult to predict exact impacts for fiscal year 2024, but Bangs believes Clatsop County will really start to feel it in fiscal year 2025.

“[Decreasing revenue] is part of the conversation. Because each sale has a threeyear window of harvest, we won’t really feel the fiscal cliff next year. But we will definitely start feeling and seeing the fiscal cliff after the 24-25 year. We will feel what’s happening now in one to three years.” Bangs said. For Columbia County Commissioner Margret Magruder, her biggest concern for Columbia County is the impact reduced revenues will have on public services.

“Reduced harvest will result in a reduction in jobs and timber harvest revenue in the CFTLC (Council of Forest Trust Land Counties) Counties,” Magruder said. “These timber revenues support a variety of public services that counties provide. The costs of all of these services will continue to rise over the 70year life of the HCP while the harvest revenue is projected to decline substantially.”

Washington County Magruder also represents Washington County on the FT-

LAC, which falls into ODF’s Forest Grove District. Forest Grove’s revised implementation plan set a harvest level of 43 to 47 MMBF, down from 61 MMBF in the previous Implementation Plan.

The reduced harvest level will have a large impact on the revenue that the district receives. For the next fiscal year, Forest Grove District is projecting net revenues of $18.1 million from timber harvest operations, a 42% decrease from fiscal year 2023. This is the largest decrease in time revenue among all ODF districts. This will inevitably impact the timber revenue Washington County receives.

According to Magruder, this drop will have a significant impact, just probably not this next fiscal year

“The Forest Grove District is expected to experience a 23% drop in harvest compared to the previous implementation plan,” Commissioner Magruder said. “Significant impacts of the lower harvest levels will mostly likely be seen starting in FY 25 due to the 3-year nature of ODF contracts and unusually high volume of timber under contract yet to be harvested.”

Clackamas, Marion, & Linn Counties

Clackamas, Marion and Linn Counties fall into ODF’s North Cascade District. North Cascade’s revised implementation plan set a harvest level of 9 to 10 MMBF, down from 19 MMBF in the previous implementation plan.

It’s unclear how the reduced harvest level will impact the revenue the district receives. For the next fiscal year, North Cascade District is projecting net revenues of $4 million, a 15% increase, and is one of the few districts projecting an increase in timber revenues.

According to Linn County Commissioner Will Tucker, the reduced timber harvest will still have an adverse impact on Linn County.

“Based upon preliminary numbers, it looks like the local ODF Region will net Linn County around 50% of the historical revenue,” Tucker said. “The biggest portion goes to the county general funds, then the local school district, then the county common school funds, and [finally] lesser amounts to multiple taxing districts.”

Tucker added that the percentage of timber revenue each district will receive next year – and therefore the level of impact they’d incur from reduced revenues – will depend largely on where the

timber sales happen.

“The actual percentages depend on what taxing districts make up the regions,” Commissioner Tucker said. “For North Santiam Canyon, as an example, it affects mostly North Santiam School District, the local fire department, the community college, and a library district. In my county, the actual dollars split varies by drainage and taxing districts near the sale site.” Benton, Polk, and Lincoln Counties Benton, Polk, and Lincoln Counties fall into ODF’s Western Oregon District. Western Oregon’s revised implementation plan set a harvest level of 9 to 10 MMBF, down from 12 MMBF in the previous implementation plan. The reduced harvest level will have a moderate impact on the revenue the district receives. For the next fiscal year, Western Oregon District is projecting net revenues of $3.4 million, a 36% decrease from fiscal year 2023. This will impact the timber revenue these counties receive.

According to Tucker, the reduced timber harvest will impact these counties, as well as Linn County, through job loss.

“The revenue from ODF is a small part of timber life cycle,” Commissioner Tucker said. “What stands out as the bigger effect on the county is what happens to jobs, mills, and the communities. This ends up as a much larger effect on the county than just the sale revenue from ODF.”

Tucker went on to explain the trickle-down effect of a reduced timber harvest, noting that the impact has an “8 or 10 times larger effect” on the economies of the communities he represents.

“Just looking at the mills who buy the logs, there is the property taxes and personal property taxes (equipment) paid by the mill for the mill sites,” Commissioner Tucker said. “Beyond that there is much more money stabilizing the community: the mills who buy the timber, salaries for those who planned the sales, road construction teams to get crews to the sale site with their equipment and rock, those who cut the trees, those who transport the logs, the mill employees, and transportation of the timber to retail.”

Garibaldi losing city manager, finance officer

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The City of Garibaldi’s government is in a tenuous position as staff departures will leave the city with only one, part-time staffer to work at city hall by the end of the month, according to Council President Katie Findling.

At a special meeting on June 29, Findling detailed the situation the city’s government was in and the steps she had been taking to address the forthcoming staffing shortages.

Sugar and Air serves up good time to Tillamook residents

By CHELSEA YARNELL Guest Contributor

It’s not the cotton candy you remember. Sugar + Air Gourmet Cotton Candy takes the traditional fair treat and gives it a brand new twist.

“It’s nothing like what you’ve tasted like the regular pink or blue cotton candies,” owner MirAnda Sedivy said. “I’ve done a lot of research and found that I can make my own flavors, flavors that have a true taste.”

Based out of Wheeler, Sedivy takes her treats on the road with a mobile cart and spins them up fresh at events around Tillamook County.

“It’s been a good, fun adventure just getting people to try it,” Sedivy said. “It’s

this nostalgia thing with cotton candy. Many people say, ‘Gosh, this tastes so much better than what I’ve ever tried.”

Customer favorites include the blue raspberry, blackberry and pomegranate, but Sedivy rotates through nearly 50 unique flavors that are all gluten, nut and dairy free. Sugar-free flavors are also being added.

In addition to freshly made cotton candy, Sugar + Air offers made-to order products including: cotton candy cakes, glitter bombs, small and large to-go containers, and specialty mixture bags.

“The specialty bags have two or more flavors. We make a strawberry shortcake by mixing strawberry and cake batter flavors,” Sedivy said.

“They’re a little fancier.”

Customers can catch Sugar + Air at several locations this summer including: Port of Garibaldi Nights, Manzanita Farmers Market, Tillamook Farmers Markets, Tillamook Rodeo, Clover’s Day Parade, and Rockaway Beach’s Kite Festival.

“I enjoy just putting smiles on peoples’ faces,” she said. “It’s fun adding a little bit of sweetness to peoples’ days.”

Catering services are also available for private events and parties with packages starting at $225. Follow Sugar + Air on Instagram. Visit sugarplusair. my.canva.site to order, book, or for more information on pop-up locations and dates.

June is Men’s Health Month

We want to remind men of all ages to schedule your routine medical and dental exams. Routine preventive care including staying up-to-date on recommended screenings and vaccines can help you stay well and catch problems early, helping you live a longer, healthier life. Routine health visits, screenings and vaccines are covered benefits of many health plans. Ask your health care provider about your options.

“Garibaldi is in a bit of a crisis both in terms of services and faith in the city,” Findling, who was serving as acting mayor at the meeting in Mayor Tim Hall’s absence, said.

The staffing situation in the city hit a critical point in the last week, as the city’s two full-time staff, Assistant City Manager Marni Johnston and interim-City Manager Jay Marugg, handed in their resignations. Marugg will leave his position with the city on July 31, and unless new staff is hired, the city will be left with only one, part-time employee to staff city hall.

Findling said that emergency services from the Garibaldi Fire Department and Tillamook Sheriff’s department and public works maintenance work would not be affected as those positions are staffed. Short staffing has already forced the city to transition city hall to an appointmentonly schedule, which will continue until more staff are hired.

Findling said that over the past several days she had been in touch with the city’s insurance provider, CIS, the city’s legal counsel and the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) discussing how to tackle the situation.

CIS advised Findling that the city should begin the recruitment process for an interim city manager and permanent city manager simultaneously and as quickly as possible. LOC has a list of qualified candidates who are interested in an interim position and Findling has begun reviewing that list.

For the other positions, Findling said she has been in contact with the Oregon Association of Municipal Reporters, the Oregon Municipal Finance Officers’ Association and Portland State University, where recent graduates with master’s degrees would be qualified for the recorder or an administrative position.

To continue the ongoing work to complete audits for past fiscal years, Findling said she had reached out to Mid Valley Accounting, a firm with municipal bookkeeping experience. Hurliman CPA will continue to manage the city’s payroll.

Findling said that she had also been in contact with leaders from nearby governments and was working on intergovernmental agreements to allow them to help Garibaldi continue services in the case of employee absences.

After reviewing the city’s charter, the city’s counsel also determined that city councilors could work at city hall on a limited basis.

Findling said that councilors could do basic tasks, like opening mail or making photocopies, if there is no union employee to do the work. Findling also mentioned that she had been discussing ways to automate or outsource functions where possible, mentioning bill payments and transient room tax collections as examples.

Findling also said that she had been in touch with County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell over the weekend to keep her abreast of the situation and seek advice. Bell told Findling that the county could not offer any financial support to the city but would be able to offer the services of their grant writer when the city is on a more stable footing.

Bell also told Findling that she had recently been researching the process for the county absorbing incorporated cities within it, as another city is in a similarly tenuous position. Findling said Bell had told her that the process was complicated and she was still working to fully understand the complexities.

Public commenters asked questions of the council but were mostly satisfied with the responses and multiple people and Findling said that they were hopeful and ready to work together to stabilize Garibaldi’s situation.

Reed takes over as Neah-Kah-Nie superintendent

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

Dr. Tyler Reed became superintendent of the Neah-Kah-Nie School District on July 1, taking over from the retiring Paul Erlebach.

Reed told the Herald in a recent interview that he plans to emphasize literacy at all grade levels, facilities maintenance and continuing to maximize post-secondary opportunities for students in the district as superintendent.

“I just want to maximize the opportunities for our kids,” Reed said, “if that’s career tech, if that’s going to a four-year or two-year college, if that’s getting a job right after high school, that’s super important.”

Reed arrives in Neah-KahNie after serving as the Tillamook School District’s curriculum director for the past year. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Reed began his career

in education with Teach for America, working in a school in Stuckart, Arkansas. While working in Stuckart, Reed earned a master’s degree and doctorate from Arkansas Tech University, before becoming principal of a school in Rosebud, Arkansas.

While working in Arkansas, Reed met his wife, who also worked with Teach for America and hails from Astoria, Oregon. After spending the first decade of their married lives in Arkansas, the couple decided that they wanted to move closer to her family and began looking for job opportunities on the north coast, applying for and accepting the position in Tillamook last spring. Reed said that in Arkansas he had been used to having more oversight from the state department and that he enjoyed the more community-driven style of Oregon schools.

“I think this area is great in that these feel like com-

munity schools and they are community schools,” Reed said. He also praised the support of local foundations for scholarships in both the Tillamook and Neah-Kah-Nie school districts, mentioning the Muddnick Foundation in North Tillamook County in particular, which is helping to fund a production of Cinderella and recently contributed to a class trip to Washington D.C. Reed said, “It’s just great that communities like Tillamook and Neah-Kah-Nie are providing that for their kids.”

Reed said that he is appreciative of Erlebach’s steady stewardship of the district and help during the transition, appreciating that he is not being asked to serve as a “white knight” for the district. He mentioned both the GEAR UP grant aimed at increasing preparation for secondary education that the district was selected to receive last year and the AVID teaching program that teachers are

training in as examples of Erlebach’s achievements.

Nonetheless, there are challenges facing the district for which Reed has been preparing. Chief among them is the uncertainty surrounding future timber harvest revenues, which along with property taxes make up the entirety of the district’s fundings and may be cut with a new habitat conservation plan under development by the Oregon Department of Forestry.

As a representative of a special district drawing revenues from the state forests, Reed said that remaining in communication with legislators and the governor about the potential harvest cuts’ impacts will be key.

“I think it’s just gonna be making sure that we form a positive relationship with our state legislators and Tina Kotek,” Reed said, “making sure our voices are heard and that it’s not necessarily the timber companies that are being hurt in this it’s our kids

and our districts.”

Reed said that he will also focus on continuing to improve academics to ensure the district offers students the best education. He said that the coronavirus pandemic and distance learning had led to difficulties in educating children but noted that Neah-Kah-NIe has begun to rebound and exceed state averages in test scores.

A main emphasis for Reed will be improving literacy in the district, with a focus on moving toward the science of reading approach, which emphasizes phonics. Reed said that he is a fan of the kindergarten through second grade curriculum from Foundations that the district uses and he hopes to see their offerings expanded to all grade levels.

“(I’m) just really excited to bring that to the district, to make sure it’s a K-12 initiative and not just an early literacy initiative and I think it’s going to do great things for our kids,” Reed said.

Reed will also be keeping an eye on the district’s various facilities, working to make sure that they stay up to date as Garibaldi and Nehalem Elementary Schools approach their centennial anniversaries.

“It’s just a matter of making sure that we improve those buildings to be state of the art facilities for our kids because they deserve the best,” Reed said.

Reed said that he is excited to get to work in the district and to get to know and work with the community as he steps into a more public facing role.

“I’m excited to see where we can take Neah-Kah-Nie together and it is not a me thing, this is not what I’m doing, it is really what this community is doing,” Reed said. “I know that they love their kids and I’m just super proud to work in the district in which I live and see it move forward.”

Willet Apartments open in Tillamook offering affordable option

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Willet Apartment complex celebrated its grand opening on June 29, offering an open house and reception to celebrate the completion of the affordable housing units in Tillamook. Tenants will begin moving into the 46 new units beginning on July 5, and a representative from Key Property Services, which will be managing the complex said that there is already a waiting list of more than 100 people.

Rent prices for the new one- and two-bedroom units will be affordable for residents making 60% of the area’s median income and only available to those residents. This will equate to rent prices around $800 for a one-bedroom unit and $950 for a two-bedroom unit at opening. The development is located on a previously vacant property between Fourth and Fifth Streets along Nestucca Avenue.

The development was jointly developed by Home First Development Partners and Green Light Development, both located in Port-

land. Pooling their collected experiences, the two companies began working to develop affordable housing complexes across Oregon, of which the Willet Apartments are the first.

Planning for the apartments began in late 2020, and planning and permitting, and securing financing took place in 2021 before groundbreaking in July 2022. The project was built using a combination of financing from private lenders and through income tax grants from the Oregon Housing Development Program.

According to Mark Desbrow of Green Light Development and Ben Pray from

Home First, the two firms are in the process of building seven additional affordable apartment complexes across Oregon. When all of those are open within the next two years, they will offer 680 units of below market-rate housing, with the next developments set to open this fall in Portland and Molalla.

“We’re eager to add more affordable housing whenever possible,” Pray said at the opening.

The apartments have modern finishes, with bright interiors, and are designed to look and feel like market-rate competitors. The complex has an 810-square-foot clubhouse, featuring a lounge for residents, property manager ’s office and laundry facilities.

Residents must pass a background check and prove that they meet income qualifications before signing a one-year, renewable lease.

According to the representative from Key Property, as of the grand opening, not all units were assigned, but having received well over 100 applications he expected any applicants applying now would have to wait for future openings. The complex will also have five units dedicated to residents referred by the Tillamook Family Counseling Center who are dealing with mental health or addiction issues or both. Further units will be set aside for clients of Community Action Resource Enterprises of Tillamook,

become an educator, as both his parents worked in schools, his father as a teacher and principal, and his mother as a special education teacher.

After wrestling collegiately at Oregon State, Ellis went on to earn a master’s degree in arts of teaching from Cumberland University, in Tennessee.

Ellis began his teaching career in Grandview, Washington, before moving into administration, first as a principal in then as superintendent of the Royal School District in Royal, Washington.

In 2018, Ellis’s parents were involved in a serious automobile accident, prompting Ellis to explore a move closer to them. He found a job opening for the superintendency of

the Prosser School District in Prosser, Washington, where he has worked for the last five years.

The decision to depart Prosser for Tillamook was prompted by a number of factors, Ellis said. After turnover on the board of the Prosser School District and his mother ’s death in 2020 from cancer, Ellis was looking for a new opportunity when the position in Tillamook became available.

Ellis said that his curiosity was immediately piqued as he has long enjoyed vacationing on the Oregon coast and that moving to the area had long been a dream. As he began investigating the position and the district, his interest grew.

“The more I researched it, the more I was impressed with the work Jim Mabbott had done, the board had done, the support of the community,” Ellis said. “The more I got to see things and be a part of it like, yeah, it’s a community that’s doing things right, there’s so much good going on here.”

Ellis mentioned the great athletics, Future Farmers of America and Career and Technical Education programs at Tillamook High School as attracting him. He also said that he had been impressed by the district’s

ability to attract teachers and administrators who grew up in the community to work in the district.

As superintendent, Ellis said he will work to ensure that every child in the district, regardless race, disability, ability or socioeconomic status will receive the best education.

“Every child deserves the very finest education and very best experience that we can offer them,” Ellis said. “Education can be just this great equalizer and it’s important that you do it well, you only have one shot.”

Critical to that mission is the relationship between the board and the superintendent, Ellis said he has learned. Ellis said that the work of turning schools into an “amazing agent within communities for good” can only exist if the board and superintendent come together to form a cohesive team.

That’s why Ellis said that he plans to spend the first months in his role developing relationships with the board, teachers and parents to set a strong foundation for future success.

“You don’t want to come in with change as the leader on that,” Ellis said, “you want to get to know what the needs are and who you’re working

After that, Ellis said that he will work to make sure that changes are implemented in a way that emphasizes community involvement and outreach.

As for potential changes to help address lagging test scores, Ellis said that he believes learning deficits built during covid will be recovered over time. He also said that he supported the special learning communities implemented across the district by Mabbott. Those teacher groups work together to refine educational practices through cooperation.

Ellis said that he thinks the best way to improve outcome will be “collaborating, coming together, looking at standards, really trying to leverage our teaching to teach those standards and then just that continual cycle of improvement.”

Ellis has already been impressed by his reception in Tillamook and is looking forward to the opportunity to lead the district.

“I am so happy to be here and I am super enthusiastic about the opportunity and working for Tillamook, working with parents, just on behalf of their kids,” Ellis said.

The pair also said that they would be interested in developing more units in Tillamook County in the future and potentially taking advantage of the county’s multifamily housing unit grant.

GUEST COLUMN: TRYING TO SEE The Incurable Wound

MICHAEL RANDALL

The word “love” is a favorite for many of us. We certainly love ourselves and several others--family and friends. Why is it so hard to love others as we love ourselves? We each are made from the same stuff as the galaxies. We all came from the same realm, and will return there when we die. Though we cannot remember that realm, we have our theories, and we hope it is a better place.

Our skin is the container for our bodies. We have our own physical sensations, mental processes and emotions, and we each feel like a separate creation. Everything impacts us from outside our body: a knife cut, that pleasant whiff of wood smoke, children laughing, the sour of lemon, bird song. The old cliché rings in our heads: “We’re all different, and we’re on our own.” And we feel vulnerable to unknowable contingencies in this difficult world.

Perhaps underlying all this is an idea put forth by Swiss theologian, Hans Urs von Balthassar. Near the end of his life, he wrote, “Nearly all great thought springs from a conflict between two eventual insights: first, the wound which we find at the heart of everything is finally incurable. Second, we necessarily are driven to try” to cure it. There is an incurable wound at the heart of the world. We quietly stand in the presence of natural beauty: ocean breakers moving on shore, breezes moving through forest trees. But while viewing these scenes, or living thousands of other beautiful moments, we also experience a twinge of sadness. While such peaceful moments of witness enliven our reflections, the accompanying melancholy springs from our awareness of life’s fragile transience--the birth, growth, decline, and death of

all the living--true in ancient times, this present moment, and distant future.

Perhaps Balthassar’s “incurable wound” is this sense of our personal isolation from everything else in creation, and the knowledge that death will come for us. That sadness speaks to us of life’s brevity, and the fact that we were born alone and will die alone.

When we are young, we strive to grow in competencies, marry and have children, pursue adventures. We hope to have achievements, appear as exceptional in the eyes of others, live out our dreams and soar above the world’s anxieties and burdens. But as time goes by, we are led toward wisdom through mixed experiences of happy striving, achievements and disappointments, family happiness and conflict, and a slow accumulation of joyful events and painful losses.

During our passing decades, young dreams are achieved or not, as one’s talents, luck, and the world’s vagaries permit. Along the way, things happen. A tearful 3:00 a.m. call from jail; the sledge hammer news that one’s spouse is leaving; a diagnosis of cancer or dementia; a paralyzing job layoff in middle age; the inner darkness that makes us retreat to another room when the doorbell rings. Such lacerations are part of life’s basic fabric in this created universe.

How do we come to understand and deal with these wounds? Do we lament that we loved and trusted too much, and thus armor and harden ourselves? Do

on transgender topics, written for a juvenile audience. She says that leaving those books there, where her children might see them, undermines her “parental right” to instill in them her religious beliefs, which apparently include the view that God disapproves of transitioning.

Well, what about my parental rights? I want my children to learn that, when it comes to gender identity, life isn’t as black and white as depicted in all the other books in the library; that many people feel misidentified at birth; and that, for some of them, transitioning, while difficult and complicated and not easy to undo, can be a way to ease their suffering and enable them to live a happy and productive lives. I want my kids to learn that so they don’t grow up misinformed, closed-minded and intolerant of anyone who doesn’t fit what some consider the norm, in this field or others.

The solution to this conflict of interests -- mine and Ms. Hilger’s -- is obvious: the books should stay where they are, and Ms. Hilger can tell her kids not to look at them. Meanwhile, I’ll tell my kids

we assert, “Nothing is going to touch or hurt me again.” How do we avoid such a bleak repudiation of life?

Balthassar said that “… we necessarily are driven to try…” to cure the world’s incurable wound. But how? If we fail to try, we scourge the wound and make it worse.

We know that suffering is part of life, and is experienced by all the living. But there is something more. We inherit an unfathomable universe 13.7 billion years old, and this Earth that is 4.5 billion years old. Primates gradually evolved only 5060 million years ago from tiny, rodent-sized mammals that had survived the great meteor extinction 65 million years ago. We Homo sapiens evolved from those earlier primates perhaps 200,000 years ago. Consequently, considering time’s great depths, our species has been around only about 20 minutes or so, and sometimes our prospects seem doubtful.

We mess up our blue/ green nest ever more as our numbers grow. We must kill to eat. Often, our tribe attacks another to get what we want, or they attack us. Today, Earth’s top tribes have bigger, better weapons. The four horsemen of the apocalypse (famine, war, pestilence, and death) always ride nearby, just beyond that neighboring ridge.

Still, each of us is part of time’s vast continuum, enjoying these brief breaths beneath warm sun and starlit night We can wean ourselves from easy judgments, reconcile with those whom we have fought. We can soften our hearts, see into and through another’s eyes, and sense their unknowable biography.

We cannot fully understand, let alone cure their wounds, or ever forget our own. Regardless, we all are together in this tiny part of a vast unity--each of us for our brief moment--sharing a common destiny.

to go ahead. Other parents can make their own call.

It’s no different, really, than the decision-making parents engage in every night when it comes to certain TV shows. They’re entitled to say whether their kids watch or not, but not whether the shows can be broadcast.

Why didn’t Ms. Hilger think of this? I’m pretty sure she did. But maintaining parental rights isn’t really her agenda. The giveaway is the last sentence of her letter, where she complains that leaving the books on the shelves is “an attempt to indoctrinate young minds into a particular ideology.” Of course, banning the books is an attempt to indoctrinate young minds the other way -- to teach them that there’s something wrong, maybe even sinful, at least in Ms. Hilger’s mind, about transitioning. So, for Ms. Hilger, the issue isn’t indoctrination per se, but indoctrinating them her way.

I’m for leaving the books in the library and letting parents decide for themselves whether to let their kids check them out.

Iran into neighbor Kristi Ostroff out walking her dog the other day. I asked her about a rumor I’d heard regarding an unusual catch in their fishing boat recently. She confirmed that, yes, she and her husband, Nick, and their fishing buddy, Ken Moulis, had reeled up an octopus while out bottom fishing in the ocean. The octopus was hooked in a couple of places, and it was sure tricky releasing him while evading the constantly reaching tentacles. Yikes! Kristi later mentioned that she and Nick had watched the documentary “My Octopus Teacher,” and it had changed their minds about eating these highly intelligent creatures.

I’ve given considerable press to spring Chinook fishing in this column, but there are other fish to fry. Bottom fish are mighty tasty, with the lingcod being the king of bottom fish. Randy Klobas showed me a picture of a big ling he caught while fishing with fellow Cape Meares resident Scott Gordon in Scott’s boat this spring. Scott also caught a nice ling that day. And when the two were halibut fishing out of Randy’s boat, Randy hooked and landed a hefty 40-lb. halibut, making 2023 the third year in

Mamma Mia’s restaurant in Nehalem recently opened in one of our favorite spots: the old Pizza Garden building right at the edge of the river. We’ve enjoyed the riverside patio through two changes of ownership in the past five years, so when we learned that the new owner was direct from Italy, we had to stop in.

Carla, the new chef and owner, is a chatty, openhearted woman, proud to discuss her cuisine. We were thrilled to learn that her background included culinary training at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Florence (the one in Italy, not the one a few miles south of us).

“But it’s the nonnas [Italian grandmothers] who really teach you how to cook!” she said with a laugh. “They’re the ones who tell you ‘do this, don’t do that!’”

One thing that stands out about the menu: it’s small. This, in my previous experience as a restaurant reviewer, can be a good thing. When a kitchen focuses on making a few things very well, it’s usually better than a wide selection of dishes that vary in quality.

Our selections certainly bore this out. We started with the Insalata Barbabietola ($12): sliced roasted beets on arugula and lettuce topped with feta cheese, chopped almonds, and sesame seeds.

The earthy sweetness of the beets, brought out by roasting, was such a perfect foil for the tangy feta. Layering this on peppery arugula was wonderful, and the housemade Italian dressing gave a bright acidity that drew the entire dish together.

If beets aren’t your thing (we understand), there’s a Cesare salad ($12) with house-made Caesar dressing, croutons, and Romano cheese on crunchy Romaine lettuce. The insalata mista (mixed salad, $9) combines

a row that Randy has brought in a good-sized halibut. Way to go, guys. Care for a swim? Not in your car in Tillamook Bay. A neighbor unfortunately fell asleep at the wheel, coming home alone from a long day of fishing out of Garibaldi. His eyes closed only momentarily, but that was enough to send his vehicle off Bayocean Road and into the drink. Fortunately, the car stayed upright and the driver was able to roll down his window to escape. He has a word of advice for us all, however, and it is not just to pull off the road if you feel sleepy. His airbags deployed in the accident, and he found it almost impossible to break the side airbag to get to the open window. He finally put his hands on a screwdriver and was able to deflate the airbag with that, then crawl

out the window. There is a tool that combines a blade for cutting your seatbelt and a hammer end for breaking the window; check Amazon for “car safety glass breaker” and order one for your car today. Be sure to keep the tool in a secure and easily accessible location, as everything shifts upon impact. Glad you didn’t suffer serious injuries, neighbor.

Happy Independence Day, dear reader; I hope you enjoy a safe and happy holiday. I have traveled east this year for a week in Chicago, a guest of my older son Chory, who moved there last fall. We plan to take in a 4th of July parade in the city and watch fireworks over the lake, as the sky darkens Tuesday night. Besides time with my son and his partner, I think I am most looking forward to seeing fireflies. They have been on my proverbial “bucket list” for decades; I’m excited. Remember that Nesko Woman’s Club is selling plants, pottery and baked goods (not books this time) to fund the many good causes they support all year. The sale runs from 8a.m. through “about noon” on July 4 in front of Neskowin Trading Company which is located near the wayside at Neskowin. There will be face painting and kids’ entertainments, and they’re selling raffle tickets for a lovely glass float and a handmade quilt; we need not be present to win.

We scheduled a follow-up appointment for the couple to load and haul my accumulated recycling to Pacific City Transfer Station. (The Station, located on Brooten Road in Pacific City, accepts recycling for free during daytime hours Fridays through Sundays, weekly.) Like before, the cheerful couple arrived right on time, enthusiastically loaded multiple piles of recycling, and promptly completed the task. I’m really impressed with their work. Jesus can be contacted via Jesus Alberto Molina on Facebook Messenger; his telephone number is 971-418-1521.

Food Pantry is located within Hebo Christian Center across U.S. Highway 101 in Hebo from the Post Office. It’s open the last Saturday of the month from 12-2 p.m.

Tillamook County library has launched a Summer Reading Program, “Find Your Voice;” it will run from June 12 through August 5 and our South Tillamook County Library (the Branch in Pacific City) is taking part. July events there include The Amazing Bubble Man at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 15 and a program by Border Collie International at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 23. Story-time there is held at 3:30 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month (July 14 and 28) and is open to all ages. It’s located off Brooten Road on Camp Street in Pacific City.

mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and carrots with your choice of three house-made dressings: Italian, French, or blue cheese. Carla brought us a ramekin of her French dressing, which is a creamy white color with herbs and a milder flavor than the tangy Italian that came with the beets. We didn’t try the antipasti this time, but they all sound appealing. Cavolini di Bruxelles ($12) tops roasted Brussels sprouts with a honey-garlic chili sauce and adds smoked almonds and sesame seeds. Formaggio alle Erbe (cheese with herbs, $12) blends feta and cream cheese with a mix of herbs, lemon zest, and garlic oil, and is served with pita bread. The hummus plate ($14), also with pita, accompanies a house made hummus with cucumbers, carrots, and garlic oil laced with cumin.

Carla’s pasta offerings include popular classics. I chose the tagliatelle Bolognese ($19), a bowl of thin flat noodles topped with house made Bolognese sauce. Carla uses a mix of ground beef and pork sausage in her Bolognese, and like the sofrito underneath it (the traditional Italian blend of aromatic vegetables: carrots, celery, and onion), the meat is very finely crumbled into the San Marzano tomato base. “I add

basil and fresh oregano to the sauce,” Carla explained. She plans to add fresh herbs to the kitchen, including sage, rosemary, thyme, and more.

We also sampled her lasagna ($18), which combines bechamel sauce with tomato and ground beef. One interesting twist — literally in this case: Carla layers her lasagna noodles with the sauce, then rolls them up before topping with a cheese blend and popping them under the broiler.

Other pasta choices include the classic spaghetti alla puttanesca ($20): anchovies, capers, Kalamata olives, garlic and crushed red pepper in a bright tomato sauce. For meatless options, the spaghetti pomodoro ($16) comes topped with a simple garlic and basil tomato sauce; the tagliatelle quattro formaggi ($22) blends four cheeses in a creamy sauce and can be ordered with grilled lemon shrimp or chicken breast for an additional $6.

We’ll have to try Carla’s pizzas on a future visit, but prices range from $17 for the medium pepperoni ($23 for large) to the everything-on-it Mamma Mia’s ($23 medium, $29 large). Seasonal handmade desserts round out the menu, and wine is available along with house made lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and soft drinks.

Mamma Mia’s: 35815 Hwy 101 North in Nehalem. Call (503) 368-MAMA (6262) for more information. Open 3 to 8 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.

Facebook’s “What’s Up, Pacific City” page recently included a work wanted post, added by Jesus Alberto Bravo (and his wife Adeline) of Hebo. In the post, Jesus offers to “wash and vacuum your car for $35.00.” I messaged Jesus to take him up on this offer, promptly heard back and we set a date. Jesus, with his equally hardworking wife, arrived at the appointed hour, completed the promised work, and left my car shiny, clean and sweet smelling inside and out.

It’s that time of year, again, where most of us stock up on supplies by the end of June and avoid driving on the roads as much as possible till somewhere around July 6th.

Kelley’s (happy nuptuals), Ghost Hole and Parkside Lounge will all be raring to go for those who like to ‘complete the circuit.’

This is due to recent staff turnover.

A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January, 1700. Samurai, merchants and villagers wrote of flooding and damage, and many said no earthquake had been felt. They had no way of knowing it was spawned by an earthquake along the coast of northwestern North America. A fascinating series of discoveries in the 1990s underpin many o f today’s precautions of earthquakes and tsunamis in the Cascadia zone.

OBITUARIES

Patricia Joann Harding Kirkland

many, for her thoughtful gifts and prepared meals. Carol is preceded in death by her

Our

parents, Ellen Ouderkirk and Hans Petersen, siblings, Shirley Sullivan, Sylvia Weaver, Lavern Petersen and Donnie Petersen. She is survived by her loving husband, Pat, daughters Debbie Nielsen (Spokane), Dawn Tone (Tillamook) and Diane (Chris) Loffelmacher (Tillamook), and her siblings, Chuck Petersen (Tillamook) and Joan Tallan (Sherwood). Carol has 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way. Carol will be dearly missed and always remembered. Our family is grateful to know that she is finally at peace. There will be a Celebration of Life on July 22nd at 2pm, at the Officers Mess Hall, at the Port of Tillamook.

Phil Magwood was a man who embodied the Latin phrase “suaviter in modo, tortiter in re”, Gently in manner, strongly in deed. His soft-spoken demeanor, kind and generous actions sometimes belied the rock granite resolve at his core. Phil loved his Lord God, his fellow man, his country and he especially loved Laura and their family! Philip Nelson Magwood was born in Minot, North Dakota on August 6th, 1949. He moved to Oregon a year later with his parents James and Alpha Magwood. He studied welding and auto mechanics at PCC for two years after graduating in 1968 from Laurelwood Academy in Gaston, OR. In 1970 Phil joined the United States Navy. He came home on leave, following bootcamp, and married Laura Moores in December 1970. They returned to Long Beach, CA where he was subsequently assigned to the USS Juneau LPD 10. The Juneau LPD 10 shipped out shortly thereafter transporting men, supplies, and equipment to various military ports as part of the Vietnam War. Phil and Laura returned to Oregon upon the completion of his military service. Over the next 12 years Phil worked in the shipyards and oil refineries doing pipe welding. 1982 Phil and Laura opened Magwood’s Welding in Nehalem where he was also in the volunteer Fire Dept. In later years Phil start-

ed Performance Welding & Fab, which lead him to work in various states like Nevada and Texas at asphalt plants, water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants and oil rigs. Ranging anywhere from 145 under the Sandy River inside 82” pipe to 250 feet in the air on top of a water tower. During this time Phil also taught welding at PCC Rock Creek. Performance Welding & Fab is where he retired. Phil loved being in nature and enjoyed hunting, fishing, clamming and kayaking. Many carefree days were spent with friends and family camping along the Nehalem River. A neighbor who could be counted upon in time of need, Phil was generous with his time and talents. He was an original board member with Northwest Dream Hunts, a nonprofit organization, created for the sole purpose of fulfilling hunting and fishing for children ages 12 to 21 that have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Phil always had a project going, whether it was restoring an old pick-up or working on parts of their small acreage in Banks. Even after his disease began to take its toll, Phil “just kept going”. His huge spirit passed from this world to the next, and his powerful heart finally stopped, on June 22nd, 2023; after a courageous and resolute battle with cancer. Phil is survived by his wife of 52 years, Laura, his son Kevin and granddaughter Layla. He was a member of the Nehalem Rut Runners, a past member of the Tillamook Elks and member of the Beaverton Four Square Church for 30 years. A graveside service will be held on June 29th at 2 pm at the Nehalem American Legion Cemetery with a military honor guard. Reception to follow at the Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita. Waud’s Funeral Home, 1414 Third Street in Tillamook (503 8427557) is handling arrangements. For those wishing to honor Phil with a donation, the family suggests Northwest Dream Hunts, PO Box 966, Warrenton OR 97146. Website Northwestdreamhunts.com.

January 25, 1950 ~ June 9, 2023 IN LOVING MEMORY

Patricia (Patsy, Pat) Joann Harding Kirkland passed away suddenly on June 9, 2023, at her home in Hattiesburg, MS. Pat was born in Paonia, Colorado on January 25th, 1950. Pat graduated from Nestucca High School in Cloverdale, OR in 1968 as Salutatorian and received the bookkeeping degree from Western Business College in Portland, OR, that she used throughout her life. She also taught all grade levels and subjects in two church schools. Pat retired December 2022 after 27 years as Business Office Manager for the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion. She was proceeded in death by her husband of 51 years, William Marlin Kirkland; and her loving father, Wayne Harvey Harding. Left to cherish her memories are her mother Melva June Harding and her siblings: Nancy (Norman) Wells, Alvin (Shelly) Harding, Dennis (Kris) Harding, Paul (Melinda) Harding, & Peter (Robin) Harding, nephews, nieces & cousins galore.

Children: Tabitha (Jeff) Shannon, Benjamin (Kristen) Kirkland, Joseph Kirkland, Thomas (Caroline) Kirkland. She was blessed with grand-

children Sarah, Hannah, Alex (Rebecca), Lydia (Joseph), Keegan, Drew (Lauryn), Deborah, Ava, Josiah, Ella, great grandchild Evelyn and not of blood but of heart Emily & Megan. Pat Kirkland was known by everyone and never met a stranger. She was found in church every Sunday morning, evening and Wednesday night. Since retiring, she stayed busy enjoying Tuesday night ladies Bible Study; Friday night Canasta games with friends and worked some days during the week with the tract ministry at Blessed Hope. Recently, we found her giving out tracts and telling them about the God who loved her and saved her. She reminded us of her precious mother, Melva June Harding, whose heart was telling others that she was a lost preacher’s wife. Those precious memories will always be with us. Her life verse was Isaiah 26:3-4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: Pat and the family would prefer donations to Petal Independent Baptist Church 50 John Odom Rd., Petal, MS 39465 where she and Bill were charter members and was the pianist for over 40 years to her husband’s lead until he passed away. The funeral was 10AM June 16 at Pinehaven Funeral Home 103 Sullivan Kilrain Road, Hattiesburg, MS 39402, Gravesite Blessed Hope Baptist Church 5917 Hwy 13, Lumberton, MS.

Pastor:

tions secured by said trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.752(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sums:

Monthly payments in the sum of $1,401.23, from October 1, 2022 and monthly payments in the sum of $1,425.45, from December 1, 2022 plus prior accrued late charges in the amount of $451.31, together with all costs, disbursements, and/or fees incurred or paid by the beneficiary and/or trustee, their employees, agents or assigns. By reason of said default the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation that the trust deed secures immediately due and payable, said sum being the following, to-wit: $232,962.97, together with accrued interest in the sum of $6,159.16 through May 15, 2023, together with interest thereon at the rate of 3.75% per annum from May 16, 2023, plus prior accrued late charges in the amount of $451.31, together with all costs, disbursements, and/ or fees incurred or paid by the beneficiary and/or trustee, their employees, agents or assigns.

WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on October 4, 2023, at the hour of 1:00 PM PT, in accord with the standard time established by ORS 187.110, at the southern front entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, located at 201 Laurel Avenue, in the City of Tillamook, OR, County of Tillamook, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the

grantor has or had power to convey at the time of the execution of said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given to any person named in ORS 86.778 that the right exists, at any time that is not later than five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by paying to the beneficiary of the entire amount due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligations or trust deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee’s fees and attorney’s fees not exceeding the amounts provided by said ORS 86.778. Notice is further given that reinstatement or payoff quotes requested pursuant to ORS 86.786 and ORS 86.789 must be timely communicated in a written request that complies with that statute, addressed to the trustee’s “Reinstatements/ Payoffs - ORS 86.786” either by personal delivery or by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested, to the trustee’s address shown below. Due to potential

conflicts with federal law, persons having no record legal or equitable interest in the subject property will only receive information concerning the lender’s estimated or actual bid. Lender bid information is also available at the trustee’s website, www.logs. com/janeway_law_firm. In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while property is in default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the said referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act requires that we state the following: This is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If a discharge has been obtained by any party through bankruptcy proceedings: This shall not be construed to be an attempt to collect the outstanding indebtedness or hold you personally liable for the debt.

They call me Marcel.

I am a somewhat reserved two year old boy who’s just waiting to come out of my shell. I love snacks (treats). I love pets, and when I venture out of my bed, you can find me pawing to be brushed. I even dream of being brushed, and my favorite pass time is being brushed. “You brush, I brush, we all brush.” When my foster stops, I roll on my tummy to show her I want to be brushed more. I am not really food motivated, but as soon as I warm up to you, I will be your best pal. I would be fine with a new kitty friend, but I may need my own space to start in my new home. Don’t you just dream of brushing a kitty? If so, then I’m your guy. Pick me!! I was one of the 11 cats trapped at the golf course in Manzanita last May and have been living in a cramped quarters for the last 10 months. I may be a little shy at first but will come around. Did I mention that I love being petted? I’d like to go to home where there’s lots of patience and love. Still having doubts? Just look at that face and those eyes. Here’s the app that you’ll need to take me home.”
