New manager takes the reins in Garibaldi

Headlight Editor

Garibaldi welcomed a new city manager on July 22, when Jake Boone took over the position on a permanent basis from interim Liane Welch.

Boone, who spent the last three years as Cottage Grove’s assistant city manager, after serving on the city’s council for a decade, said that the position in Garibaldi called to him and that he hoped to be a stabilizing force for the city.

“I would like to stay here and stick around for a while and really try to help Garibaldi go from where it’s been to where it could be because this town has great bones,”

Boone said.

Boone was born in California, but moved to Oregon when he was just two years old and grew up in Canby and LaGrande. After serving four years in the United States Army, Boone matriculated at Oregon State University, where he studied computer science. When he landed an internship that yielded a job offer after his junior year, Boone withdrew from school and moved to Cottage Grove.

While following local news, Boone became interested in the workings of city government and ran unopposed for an open council seat in 2010.

Boone said that he quickly learned that many of the inscrutable decisions made by the council had been for good reasons and that the more he learned, the more interested he became.

“There was a steep learning curve early on, put my foot in my mouth a few times, but as I learned, it got more and more interesting,” Boone said. “I was like, oh, this is really cool how this all works and I really enjoy doing local government.”

Boone’s passion for local government led to the decision to use his veterans’ benefits to go to the University of Oregon for a bachelor’s degree in planning, public policy and management, after which he also completed a master’s degree in public administration.

Once he had completed his studies, Boone began the job hunt in 2020, applying for various positions, including that of Bay City city manager. Eventually, Cottage Grove created a new assistant city manager position, and after resigning from the council, Boone applied for and was hired into the role.

As assistant city manager, Boone helped to handle overflow work from the city manager and projects that didn’t have obvious homes in the government. “I became kind of the garbage disposal for the city,” Boone joked.

Following several years in the position, Boone began exploring new career opportunities and putting out inquiries about possible

Blue skies, calm bay waters, fun activities, good food, great music, bountiful vendors and a brilliant fireworks display. Everything event goers have come to expect from Garibaldi Days was on display during the 64th annual event from July 26-28.

This year’s event theme was, “Jetty Rock Jamboree,” in tribute to the massive construction project underway to repair the south jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay.

“A majority of the people who came out seemed to really enjoy

it,” said Mike Saindon, port manager for the Port of Garibaldi. “As always, we’re looking for ways to make next year better.”

On Saturday, Garibaldi Days signature parade started a couple minutes late due in part to Grand Marshal and Assistant Fire Chief Martin McCormick’s required attendance at an event security briefing. Afterwards, he and his wife, Myra, hopped aboard the front of Garibaldi Fire & Rescue’s new 21-foot, jet-propelled flat-bottom boat purchased courtesy of Oregon Department of Emergency Management grants, and were trailered along the parade route by fellow

firefighters while he performed his event duties.

At 3 p.m., the annual Fire vs. Coast Guard water ball event resulted in Garibaldi Fire & Rescue placing teams both first and second. Then, on Saturday night, event goers were treated to a live fireworks show over the bay. As for the event, days began with vendors opening along the shore on Jerry Creasy Way. Scheduled events throughout the afternoon occurred at the Port of Garibaldi event tent, Garibaldi Maritime Museum and U.S. Coast Guard Historic Boathouse, along with train rides on the Oregon Coast Scenic

In the evening, the music kicked up by the water as the event tent as well as Garibaldi’s long-time establishments, the Ghost Hole Public House and Kelley’s by the Smokestack, had live acts into the night.

“The entertainment in the event tent was excellent this year” according to Scott Casey from AV Coastal. “Icons of Rock from Astoria and the opening band North County Blues had the crowd on their feet. There were also performances from the Gentlemen Bandits and The Brothers of Blues at the Ghost Hole

Tillamook County Commission approves customer rate increases for waste disposal

PIERCE BAUGH V For the Headlight Herald

On July 24, the Tillamook County Commission approved a request for Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service to increase customer rates for solid waste disposal in areas of southern Tillamook County.

Justin Weiss, the program manager for solid waste, spoke with the Commission about why Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service was seeking to increase wages, pointing out that it has been seven years since there has been an increase in the service.

According to Weiss, it has not been uncommon for sanitary ser-

vices to request rate increases, citing inflation. Nestucca Valley was seeking a 6.1% increase in rates.

Chris Bell, a representative for Nestucca Valley, spoke with the Commission, explaining why the company was requesting an increase for their services.

Bell cited tourism, and the revenue it generates, being down this summer compared to previous summers as a reason for requesting an increase. He went on to reiterate that rates haven’t been adjusted since 2017.

Bell listed three reasons why rates haven’t been adjusted in seven years: first, a higher level of controlling cost at the company level;

second, there has been an increase in tourism and relocation to southern Tillamook County, though this year, as states, has seen a dip; and third; there had been issues with the company being able to get necessary equipment in time, but now they Nestucca Valley has received the equipment, they have seen the cost for them come in.

At the meeting, Vice-Chair Doug Olson spoke, saying he looked over the Nestucca Valley’s financials, and agreed that their request to raise rates was reasonable. He remarked that he was impressed that, despite inflation, Nestucca Valley had been able to keep the same rates for seven years.

Commissioner Erin Skaar commended the company for having keeping rates low for as long as it has. She also highlighted that due to Nestucca Valley being a private company working for a county, the county limits the amount of profit the company can make. Skaar went on to say that the Commission has seen that over the last seven years Nestucca Valley hasn’t been making a large amount of profit off its contract with the county.

Board Chair Mary Faith Bell also commended the company for managing to withhold rate increases for as long as it has. The start date of the rate increase is still to be determined.

The movies must go on: Tillamook couple buy Tillamook Coliseum Theater

PIERCE BAUGH V For the Headlight

For Sayde Moser-Walker and her husband Bill, their recent purchase of the Tillamook Coliseum Theater was a full-circle moment. When Moser-Walker was working as the editor for the Tillamook Headlight Herald years ago, the Herald was writing a story about how the theater was closing. Even back then, the idea of buying the theater was something that excited her. “I just remember thinking ‘Oh, how cool would that me to run a movie theater,’” said MoserWalker. Though she didn’t buy it at the time, the theater did end up in good hands. Sheila and Matthew Zerghast purchased it, and, according to MoserWalker, poured their hearts into it, remodeling it, and giving it its own unique personality. If it wasn’t for them, the theater may no longer exist

Moser-Walker also credits the Zerghasts for helping the theater survive Covid.

“I just also remember being so appreciative of Mat-

thew and Sheila during that time because if they hadn’t owned it, I think it probably would have closed down permanently,” said Moser-Walker. “And they were able to get really creative about how to get through that time.”

It had been years since Moser-Walker entertained the idea of owning the theater, but a couple of months ago, the dream of owning the theater had reignited when the Zerghasts reached out to her and her husband, asking them if they’d like to purchase the theater.

“I talked to my husband, and we were both like, ‘Yeah, let’s just do it. Like, if we don’t do it, we’ll regret it,” said Moser-Walker. Thursday, July 25, was their first day of owning the theater. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is the first movie to be shown at the Coliseum under Sayde and Brian’s ownership. Bill enjoys working at the ticket booth and greeting customers. Having grown up in the area, Bill knows everyone in town, and according to his wife. Their daughter Ellie even helps out at the theater.

Running the Coliseum is Sayde and Bill’s first time working together. And while it’s been a lot of work, it’s also been a lot of fun. “We’re loving it and we’re just having fun,” said Moser-Walker. “When people come to the movies, we want them to have a great time; we want them to feel taken care of; we want them to leave, you know, in a better space than when they entered.”

Being an independently owned theater, they look forward to making it more personable than the standard theater. They’re already thinking about upcoming events. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the sequel to the 1988 original, will be released this year, and Moser-Walker and her husband have been thinking of ways to make its premiere special, like possibly having people come dressed up in character.

They also hope to show a variety of movies, like classics during the Christmas season.

In addition to now owning and running the Colisuem, Moser-Walker works in publishing and radio, which has a lot in common with movies: it’s all about storytelling.

“I find storytelling special,” said Moser-Walker. “I think movies fill that same hole for people. Like, we need stories, and all kinds of stories are important.’

“And as human beings, I

think, throughout our entire history of existence, we have relied on stories. And we’ve relied on stories to like, help us connect with one another, and help us learn things, and help us evolve. And so now we have this form of storytelling, which is movies. And while it’s been around for a long time, and it will always be there. I think at its heart, it is just an extension of storytelling.” For Moser-Walker, it’s not simply about owning a theater; it’s about owning the Tillamook Coliseum.

The theater is over 100-years-old, having been a theater for the entire time since its construction, and has been a staple in the community. People tell Moser-Walker about their childhood memories at the theater.

“It’s like the community living room,” said

they’ve had their first date. It’s magical.”

Now being a theater owner, there was one question left to ask Moser-Walker: what’s her favorite movie?

DMV phishing scam warning

The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is warning against a phishing scam where hackers are contacting customers and claiming to be from the DMV. “Scammers impersonate the DMV to trick you into giving them personal information or money,” the DMV states in a release. “If you receive an unsolicited phone call, text or email

claiming to be from the DMV with an urgent matter, like your driver’s license or car registration is about to expire or you are owed money due to overpayment, ignore or delete the message or hang up. Do not click on any verification links.”

Oregon DMV said it will never ask you for personal information, such as your driver’s license number, Social Security number, or date of birth through an unsolicited phone call, text or email.

“Oregon DMV offers secure online services and sends text or email messages in some instances, but they are never unsolicited, and the messages never include personal information or verification links,” the release states. “DMV texts or emails are based on an action initiated by the customer, such as an appointment reminder or cancelation notice. Also, when a customer establishes a DMV2U account with Or-

egon DMV, a security code may be sent by text or email to establish verification.” If you receive a phishing call, text or email, notify the DMV Fraud Prevention Team at 503-945-8946 or send an online report.

“There was also silage on the road surface which made it even more slick.”

No injuries were reported in any of the three incidents, and no citations were issued.

TCSO wants to remind drivers that when it rains following weeks or longer of dry weather, road surfaces can be as slick as ice and increased caution is necessary.

“We learned that an adult male by the name of Elias Andrew Friend had taken two juvenile females to his tent in January, where he gave them alcohol and sexually assaulted them both,” said TCSO Detective Kris Wood, lead investigator for this case. “Elias was living in a tent just south of Beaver on vacant property.”

Detectives were able to learn the location of the tent, and they obtained a search warrant and seized the tent. Evidence inside the tent confirmed that Elias Andrew Friend and the two juvenile females had been in the tent.

expand into the café business

For the Headlight Herald

For Larry and Cindy Oswald, it’s not just about cafes, campgrounds, pet grooming or rail tours; it’s about community; it’s about family.

Moving to the northwestern corner of the state in 2007 from the Las Vegas area, Larry came to Oregon to manage the Nehalem Bay State Park.

When they arrived, they noticed that there weren’t many things on this part of the coast. The Oswalds have experience in many different sectors, including catering and pet grooming.

Eventually, they started their business out of their house.

They now own and operate Twins Ranch Campground in Tillamook and Twins Ranch Rail Tours in Bay City and Wheeler, where people can rent rail bikes to explore the coast’s historic railways.

The most important thing for Larry Oswald is that this be a family business. “The most important thing is this is a family business. Our family has been involved from day one,” said Oswald.

Larry and Cindy’s family includes three children: Angela and her husband Michael Dewey, Lisa and her husband Brian Hayden, and Joseph and his wife Tiffany.

Their newest ventures share a building in Garibaldi.

The location of Twins Ranch Cafe & Pet Grooming in Garibaldi was an antique store, and before that, it was a church. Despite the building being over 100 years old, Larry was surprised by how good of a condition it was in, with the exception of the plumbing and electricity being dated.

“We completely renovated this building,” said Oswald. “And it was important for us to save it as it was, because of the history around the building.”

Hailey is self-possessed beyond her years. While most children are nervous when being asked questions by a stranger, Hailey is at ease. What’s Hailey’s favorite thing about helping with the cafe? Working at the register. What’s her favorite thing on the menu? The hotcakes and eggs.

According to Hailey, the chicken salad sandwich is a popular choice, and the twin burger also is beloved.

An online review attests to Twins Ranch Cafe’s affordability: “I think this is a first-time occurrence when I have suggested that a restaurant raise their prices,” said a customer from Portland.

A cafe, pet grooming, camping and rail rides all seem pretty eclectic, but the Oswalds have experience in many different ventures. Larry had experience in the restaurant sector, and Cindy grew up grooming pets. While those are diverse careers, they all share the same core: customer service. Family is at the heart of their business, and their daughter Lisa and their grandchildren help out at the cafe, one being 10-year-old Hailey. Despite being so young,

The lower level is grooming and boarding services, and the upper level is the cafe. The building is accessible to people with disabilities. The cafe features Tillamook ice cream, and it’s important for the Oswalds to have a diverse yet affordable menu. “That’s one thing, you can get online and see that our menu is very affordable,” said Larry. “We’re not here trying to make a ton of money. But just, you know, do good food, and get a lot of families what they need at a good price.”

But sandwiches aren’t the only items on the menu that sell well. “We sold all our brownies and all our donuts yesterday. We had to get back up,” said Hailey.

Hailey has also been a Little Miss Tillamook, and her mother and grandparents attribute her comfort in speaking to people to her involvement in the rodeo circuit which will sometimes have her speaking to crowds of 300 people.

When asked what it’s like working with family, Hailey describes it as fun. “It’s really fun, in a way,” said Hailey. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, it looks like you’ve got three generations, like grandma, my mom and then me, you know, like it’s a family business, like we all work together.”

In addition to family, they

also have staff who work at their businesses who are like family, according to Hailey’s mother Lisa.

Lisa relishes being able to work with her family. “We’re very fortunate to have the opportunity to do this. You know, it’s not that common anymore,” said Lisa.

For Lisa, having her daughter help with the business is similar to her own childhood. “We had businesses growing up, even as kids, working with our parents, so I’m very happy that we’re able to pass this along even to my daughter and my nephews and my niece,” said Lisa.

For the Oswalds and their family, it’s about family and community and also legacy.

“It’s great having this here,” said Lisa. “Everything we can develop and the legacy we can leave, just like my parents are leaving and I’m leaving, and then my daughter will leave. So it’s about doing what we can to support the community…We feel very fortunate that we’re even able to do this.”

Twin Ranch Cafe & Pet Grooming is located at 410 Garibaldi Avenue.

Oregon to receive $16.6M for habitat restoration

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

Oregon habitat restoration and coastal resilience projects will receive $16.6 million in federal funds made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act.

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and U.S. Representative Val Hoyle announced the funding July 23.

“Salmon, fishing and our beautiful outdoors are all central to Oregon’s economy and identity,” Wyden said. “This funding is exactly what I fought for in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, and I will continue to advocate for more resources to preserve Oregon’s pristine waterways and coast.”

“Oregon’s native fish are the lifeblood of our state, supporting the health and vitality of our communities, local economies, and Tribes who have been here since time immemorial,” Merkley said. “Thanks to the Bipar-

tisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, over $16 million in federal funding is coming to Oregon to ensure local communities, particularly coastal communities, are better prepared in the face of climate chaosfueled extreme weather such as flooding. Crucially, the two projects receiving funding will strengthen coastal resiliency and go a long way to enhance habitat for fish populations, including our beloved coho salmon, spring Chinook salmon, and other native fish species.”

“This $16.6 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act is so important,” Hoyle said. “It will support better habitats for salmon on the Willamette River and the Oregon Coast. I’m looking forward to seeing the results of these investments, and I’ll continue working to bring federal funding back to Oregon.”

The $16.6 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries’ Office of Habitat Restoration and will be distributed in Oregon as follows:

• McKenzie Watershed Alliance - Resilience through

Floodplain Restoration: Creating Conditions for Native Species and Communities to Thrive in the Upper Willamette: $8.5 million

• Wild Salmon CenterOregon Coast Coho Recovery Plan Implementation in Oregon: $8.1 million

“We thank Senators Wyden and Merkley and Representative Hoyle for securing generational federal investments that are changing the pace and scale of salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest,” Wild Salmon Center CEO Guido Rahr said. “This investment from NOAA in the work of Oregon’s Coast Coho Partnership is putting our partners to work to recover Oregon Coast coho – as well as coastal rivers, estuaries, and wetlands. And at this critical juncture for wild salmon, we know this work is taking hold with wild coho populations, which are showing marked improvement. Combined with policy changes across the landscape, these NOAA-funded projects are taking us closer to full recovery for fish populations, and closer to resilient, strong salmon runs for Tribes, economies, ecosystems, and local communities.”

Take me to the fair

GARDENING MATTERS FENCEPOSTS

The Tillamook County Fair starts tomorrow, August 7, and it is one of my favorite yearly events. The Fair is a good place to meet old friends, make new ones and catch up on Tillamook County happenings. It’s fun to watch the horse races and the Pig-n-Ford races as well as the entertainment that the Fair provides. And by that, I mean professional and amateur performers, but also people-watching. And of course, the livestock. My grandchildren love the baby pigs and lambs almost as much as the carnival rides. Me? I like to peruse the flower displays. For some reason, my dahlias are reluctant to bloom in time for me to enter them in the fair. I think it has something to do with my mostly shady yard and the cooler temps closer to the coast. That’s okay. I enjoy them in the fall. But I do enjoy the dahlias that other Tillamook County gardeners grow to enter in the Fair. There are some gardeners that I “follow” as they have been entering for years and I enjoy seeing new names on the entry tags as well. Probably my favorite entries are the flower arrangements. There are so many creative local gardeners that come up with such fun interpretations of the themes and rules. It is my first stop when I enter the fair building. But a lot of fair goers are unaware of a calm,

lovely place to visit at the Fairgrounds: the Tillamook County Master Gardeners’ Learning Garden, just east of the big cheese at the fair entrance. If you are into gardening at any level, this is a good place to learn about what grows well in our coastal climate. There are vegetable and berry beds as well as a native plant area. And of course there are dahlias, gladiolus, and roses there as well. The Master Gardeners installed a hoop house where plants for their plant sale are started during the winter. Plus, they have installed a variety of styles of raised beds and trugs. The area where the gardens are now used to be a parking lot, so the base of the garden is asphalt, making raised beds a necessity. When I first joined the Tillamook Master Gardeners in 2002, the area was referred to as the “Demo Garden” as it was an area to demonstrate what can be grown here. But in the mid 2000’s, the group changed the name to the Learning Garden.

LEGALS

The reasoning is that the Master Gardeners’ mission is all about teaching and by renaming the garden, it gave it more credibility to do just that. It moved from being just a demonstration garden to being a teaching garden. Hundreds of pounds of produce that is grown there each year is donated to the local Food Bank, too.

One thing I really appreciate is the signage at the Learning Garden, for not only are plant names listed, but there is signage in each area explaining the growing conditions and giving tips for your own gardens. Most of the signage is in Spanish as well as English.

During the week of the fair, local Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions and guide visitors informally around the gardens. Some of the Apprentices from this year’s Master Gardening classes will be there, working with “Hardy Perennial” MG’s so you can talk to folks with a wide range of interests and knowledge.

After all the hustle and bustle of the rides, the races, the exhibits and the fair in general, the Learning Garden is a quiet spot to relax and stroll through beautiful flowers and plants. There are welcoming benches in shady places to rest upon. A respite from the fair. A place to learn. A place of calm, as all gardens should be.

CORRECTION: In last week’s article referencing an interview with Federal Emergency Management Agency Branch Chief for Flood Plain Management John Graves, later mentions mistakenly referred to him by the last name of Hughes.

The July 29 meeting of the Sourcewater Protection Plan Development Advisory Committee discussed the risk assessment plan prepared by consulting firm GSI Water Solutions. This plan was distributed in the agenda for the meeting on the 29th.

The risk assessment was presented by Suzanne de Szoeke of GSI, attending via Zoom. The 12-page spreadsheet analyzed specific risks to the watershed from natural, municipal, and other categories of threat.

Several key considerations arose from discussion of the risks to drinking water in Jetty Creek. One of the most crucial, from the standpoint of health and safety, is the possibility of continued use of herbicides, particularly as a means of keeping the 12 miles of access roads clear for vehicle traffic.

Nuveen has agreed not to spray in the lower portion of the watershed which they control. The upper portion of the watershed is owned by Stimson Lumber, who did not originally sign the memorandum of understanding (MOU), according to an updated memo from Daniel Wear of Sustainable Northwest early last month.

In the July 29 meeting, Mayor Charles McNeilly reported that Stimson is now willing to use manual brush removal on access roads instead of spray, adding, “The city will cost-share manual clearing.”

This is an important development in the ongoing safety of drinking water from Jetty Creek. Glyphosatebased herbicides are coming

under increasing scrutiny for links to blood, breast, and reproductive tissue cancers.

The access roads came up again in the risk assessment discussion. Committee member Jay Udelhoven described two possible impacts from the gravel roads: water absorption and downstream turbidity.

Turbidity was a primary cause of the 2011-2013 upgrade of Rockaway Beach’s water processing facility, including the membrane filter. But even with the improved equipment, increased turbidity runs the risk of requiring additional chlorination to counteract organic material in the water. This leads to the prospect of trihalomethanes (THMs), another high-risk chemical.

GSI brought up another risk that is not well understood: a borrow pit, a kind of stone quarry which was previously used as the source of gravel for road construction and maintenance. The sourcewater assessment of 2002 identified this borrow pit as inactive, but as Mayor McNeilly commented, “There is an active quarry site up in the hills.” The resolution was to get information from the landowners about where the active pit

is located and take steps to mitigate the risk.

One important topic was the effect of development and population growth on water quantity. Jay Udelhoven proposed, and Mayor McNeilly and City Manager Luke Shepard agreed, that while this is significant, it is outside the scope of the sourcewater protection committee. In particular, the committee pointed out that development has no impact on the amount of water present in the watershed, but only on how much water is required.

Previous presentations (including some by the North Coast Coalition for Watershed Protection) have stressed that there are steps we can take to increase water capture and retention. One crucial element is what is called rewilding: the managed and assisted return of the Jetty Creek watershed to the levels of biodiversity represented by the primeval forest. An increase in diverse plant life, plus the recovery of the biome after years of spraying and agriculturalstyle harvesting, suggest a return to the original capacity of the forest as a watershed.

Another concern was the reliance on the Nedonna Beach wells in the event of shortfalls in the Jetty Creek watershed. As committee member Ron Cleman pointed out, “Sourcewater is from all sources.” City Manager Shepard verified that the West Well in Nedonna was required “at least once every year” to provide sufficient water for the city.

Hebo Women’s Book Club met for July last week. Neither Melanie Merryman nor I was able to attend. The remaining group (likely Velma Michaud, Madlen Silkwood, Nancy Whitehead and Joan Wilke) discussed “Demon Copperhead” by Barbara Kingsolver. I am finishing my listening of the audio version this week; it’s seventeen compact discs. The expertly written story is the firstperson account of a fictional only child in the rural south. I find myself rooting for him amid seemingly endless hard knocks and poor choices. Here’s hoping for a happy ending.

I had never heard of it, but the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has owned a chalet in the Swiss Alps since 1932. This “World Centre,” as it is termed—using the European spelling— is in Adelboden, Switzerland. It is a place where Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can find challenge, adventure and “peace for the soul” (see https://worldcentres.wagggs. org/our-chalet/about-us).

The objective was to get festival goers to sign the rock with paint markers before the rocks eventually get placed in the south jetty with the repair project.

The overwhelming majority of the folks got the assignment, wrote their names and occasionally left a heartfelt message, all leading to a memorable time capsule for future generations to discover. Then there were a few who thought they could sneak in bathroom humor.

As with all things, the riffraff was cleaned up for prosperity.

This chalet was tasked by its founders to become a school of goodwill and understanding among the future women of the world, in addition to fostering leadership training, winter and summer outdoor skills and personal growth. Cape Meares resident Karen Walz, a lifelong Girl Scout, visited this remarkable spot last month. Guides and Scouts who come to the chalet receive a special pewter pin in a pinning ceremony; Karen is sporting hers on her jacket—ask to see it if you run into her. It is absolutely beautiful.

OBITUARIES

Feb. 17, 1930 ~ July 23, 2024

David Russell Carver was born February 17, 1930 in Clatskanie, Oregon, to Russell & Phyllis Carver (Jinks). Dave was the eldest of four siblings who grew up on their family dairy farm near Westport, Oregon.

He was very active in sports while attending Westport HS and often spoke about being on several state playoff teams in football and baseball. Especially proud of winning the State Championship in 6-man football his senior year (1948). He also bragged about playing on the Clatskanie Adult Town Baseball Team (semi-pro) during the summers.

Dave also had a passion for horses and competed at local fairs/rodeos with a small string of horses. He met his future wife, LaVonne, of Vernonia, at one such county fair where she was also competing. Following High School, Dave enrolled at Linfield College in McMinnville and played football & baseball. Before the start of his sophomore year, he was drafted – so In September 1950 he enlisted in the United States Air Force. He married LaVonne McCool of Vernonia in February, 1951. By the time he returned from Korea in 1955 they had two boys (Ronald & Lloyd). They moved back to the Westport area where Dave worked in the timber industry as a faller. He had applied for the Oregon State Police and was selected in April 1956. He started his career at Coquille as a Recruit Trooper in the Game Division. Later that year (December) he was transfer at the Gold Beach outpost as the lone Game

Division officer there. While working there for 6 years, they added two more children (Colleen & Robert) to their family. In 1963 he transferred to the Tillamook Patrol Office where their fifth and final child (Quent) was born. As the kids got older Dave got involved in coaching youth sports. In addition to the increasing sporting events, their family enjoyed camping, fishing, clamming, crabbing and hunting together. Dave also got involved in playing softball with his fellow troopers and friends. In the summer of 1970 Dave was promoted to Corporal at the Newport Office. The family’s outdoor activities, and numerous sporting events continued at Newport. Dave retired at the rank of Sergeant in January, 1982. He held several different security positions after retiring. Dave and LaVonne bought a small acreage near Eddyville and continued raising, breeding, and trained thoroughbred racehorses. He was very proud of his horses that competed at Longacre’s, Spokane, Salem, and on the Oregon Fair Circuit race-

tracks.

Dave’s health issues eventually forced them to sell their little farm and horses. Next, they moved to Dallas, Oregon. Dave continued to enjoy hunting trips with his boys and visiting the numerous Oregon Casinos with LaVonne and friends.

Continued health issues eventually led to Dave & Lavonne to take up residence at the Brookdale Senior Assisted Living Care Center in McMinnville, Oregon. David passed on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at the age of 94 with his wife Lavonne (91) by his side. They had been married 73+ years. Numerous family members were able to visit Dave the last few weeks/days prior to his passing while under Hospice care.

Dave was preceded in death by two younger siblings and their spouses: Patsy Black (Merlin), Gerald Carver (Donna). Also, brother-in-law, Frank Moore and son-in-law, Andy Jack.

He is survived by a younger sister, Jeanie Moore, of Gresham. All five of his children, Ronald Carver (Dixie), Lloyd Carver (Judy), Colleen Jack, Robert Carver, Quent Carver. 7 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren.

Memorial Services will be held at Macy’s & Son Funeral Directors, 135 NE Evans, McMinnville, Oregon (97128) on Saturday, August 10th, 2024 , at 11 AM.

Be ready for potential power outages, PUC says

STAFF REPORT

Country Media, Inc.

As wildfires continue to burn throughout the state and extreme weather events impact communities, Oregon residents are encouraged to be prepared for potential power outages.

“Wildfires and extreme weather can cause power outages, and weather and other conditions in specific geographies may cause electric utilities to adjust system settings, which can result in more frequent and longer outages, or even in certain cases, implement public safety power shutoffs (PSPS,” the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) states in a release.

A PSPS is a safety measure designed to help protect people and communities in high fire-risk areas by proactively shutting off electricity during extreme and dangerous weather conditions that might result in wildfires.

Utilities may also need to deenergize lines to protect equipment from nearby fires, or to protect personnel fighting fires.

Be prepared in advance

• Prepare your home and businesses in the event a wildfire or weather incident leads to a power outage.

• Be two weeks ready –Gather food, medical supplies, batteries, pet supplies, among other things, needed by family members during an outage or evacuation for up to two weeks.

• For individuals with a medical condition that requires power, contact your electricity service provider in advance of an outage to register a Medical Certificate This certification provides added benefits and helps the utility ensure they meet your needs in the event of an outage.

• Make sure your utility service provider has current contact information to receive notifications by updating your account online. If uncertain which electric utility serves your area, visit https://www. oregon.gov/energy/energy-oregon/pages/find-your-utility.

• Keep cell phones fully charged in anticipation of an outage. Consider a car-charger for cell phones and other electronic devices.

• Plan for livestock water needs in the event well pumps lose power.

• Have a plan to relocate to an alternative location for power needs, or if you can, consider a backup generator.

During a power outage

• Avoid downed power lines, including anything near downed lines, at all costs.

• Stay clear of fire personnel and utility crews working to restore service in your community.

• Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns for emergency lighting. Do not use candles or other potential fire hazards.

• Turn off lights and unplug electric appliances except for the refrigerator and freezer to help avoid a surge to the system when service is restored. After turning off all the lights, turn one light on to know when power has been restored.

• Use generators safely – Do not run the generator inside the home or garage or anywhere near a window or vent, as these spaces can capture deadly levels of carbon monoxide.

• Check on elderly neighbors or individuals with special needs who might need additional assistance.

• Call your electricity service provider to report an outage, do not call 911.

Natural gas tips

• If required to evacuate, no need to shut off natural gas.

• If natural gas appliances do not operate properly once electricity is restored, call your natural gas service provider.

• If natural gas service is shut off, do not turn on yourself. Call your natural gas service provider to restore service.

• If you smell natural gas, evacuate immediately and call 911.

Stay informed

• Contact your electricity provider or log in to your account and make sure all contact information is current so you can receive alerts and messages.

• Visit Oregon Alert to find your local alert system. Provide current contact details and sign up for wildfire alerts.

• Before traveling visitTrip Check for details on road closures and conditions.

• Check air quality in Oregon.

Oregon Shores’ Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run

We are excited to announce Oregon Shores’ second annual Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run fundraising event! This initiative offers friends of the Oregon coast an opportunity to participate in a challenge and solicit support from their friends and family. The event will take place from August 30 to September 8. During this time, participants will be encouraged to walk or run as many miles as possible, embracing the spirit of adventure and the satisfaction of making a difference. What sets this event

apart is the chance for our supporters to rally friends, family, and colleagues who may be unfamiliar with Oregon Shores. By securing donations, participants can amplify their impact and provide essential support to Oregon Shores’ critical conservation work. By participating in this event, you will help raise awareness and generate vital funds for Oregon Shores’ mission to educate, engage, and empower people to protect our coastal ecosystems, landscapes, and communities.

Here’s a breakdown of what participants will do:

• Walk or run a minimum

of three miles (just under five kilometers) on the coast or other natural public lands, getting your steps in and enjoying the outdoors while supporting coastal conservation.

• Encourage friends to honor their walk or run by donating to Oregon Shores in support of the miles they run or walk. Participants will join our Givebutter campaign page as team members, making it easy for supporters to contribute to them directly.

Complete the registration form, including a $25 donation, to join. As a token of appreciation for everyone’s commitment to preserving our coastal ecosystems,

participants will receive an exclusive Surf & Sun Virtual Walk & Run long or short sleeved athletic t-shirt, which will serve as a reminder of their accomplishment and dedication to the cause. Sign up before August 15 to receive your shirt before the start of the event.

Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot reconstruction nears the finish line

The Cape Kiwanda Lot south of Dorymen’s Way is open and free to park!

SUBMITTED BY THE TILLAMOOK

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

It is midway through the busy summer season of 2024. The south side of the

Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot and new civic overlook area are bustling with pedestrians and cars. One can find people taking pause on the beautiful new benches to look out over the ocean, or perhaps enjoying lunch at the new picnic tables near the front of the lot. While the portion of the parking lot north of Dorymen’s Way remains under construction, the parking lot south of

Dorymen’s Way is open for business and parking is free until the full reconstruction is complete! Paid parking will then go back into effect. The reconstruction is in its final push to create a new experience by Labor Day 2024 that includes opening the north side of the parking lot. Many final touches have been completed, setting the stage for the Kiwanda Corridor brand. This includes new wayfinding signage, such as Day Use Area, ADA, EV Charging, and more, which utilize the approved colors and fonts from the Pacific City|Woods Wayfinding Plan (2020). Bright bathroom door paint also incorporates these new colors. This branding will be continued throughout the additional project elements and sites as subsequent phases of the Kiwanda Corridor Project are built.

The Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot Reconstruction will be complete by Labor Day apart from landscape plantings that will be placed during the rainy season. The project team will conduct the final walkthrough

shortly after Labor Day to confirm quality and completion of work. After that time, the new restroom, foot wash station, drinking fountain and water bottle fill station, as well as surfboard and bicycle racks will be opened and ready for use –right in time for the popular Longboard Classic!

Tillamook County and the Cape Kiwanda Project Team are thrilled to be completing the first phase of the Kiwanda Corridor Project. What remains to be completed at the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot:

• Enclosed plank storage and refuse area

• Continuation of restroom finishes

• Striping of the lot’s north side

• Fire up the site lighting and EV charging stations

• Turn on the pay stations

• Winter plantings

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/kiwanda-corridor/

The Kiwanda Corridor Project connects multiple county properties and supports the development of other public spaces with a

thoughtfully programmed design that disperses crowds, creates opportunities for equitable outdoor play and education, and promotes stewardship of Pacific City, our beloved Cape Kiwanda and natural resources as a whole.

The six project elements include:

1. Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot

2. Jensen Property

3. Nestucca Valley Community Alliance Park 4. Multi-Use Path

5. Webb Park

6. Shorepine Village Boardwalk

The KCP’s values are:

• Place: Honor the natural and built heritage of Pacific City

• People: Enhance the experience for the diverse

range of people in Pacific City

• Natural Environment: Prioritize sound ecological decisions and support sustainability

• Fiscal Responsibility: Make efficient and responsible financial decisions and maintain affordability

• Connectivity: Support and integrate multi-modal connectivity in and around Pacific City while prioritizing accessibility

• Safety: Prioritize everyday safety alongside emergency management

The project is being funded by county transient lodging taxes, day-use revenues from Pacific City parking lots, and grants from state agencies. For more information, please contact Rachel Hagerty, Tillamook County Chief of Staff, at rachel.hagerty@ tillamookcounty.gov.

As chair of a key Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Merkley wrote the fiscal year 2025 Interior-Environment spending bill to fund top Oregon priorities, including essential community-initiated projects across the state.

Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley—as Chair of the Senate Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee—announced he secured critical investments to strengthen forest health and wildfire resiliency, protect public lands and the environment, boost important programs for Tribes, and support critical projects for Oregon communities.

tions Committee, which is one of the most powerful on Capitol Hill. He joined the committee in 2013 so that Oregon would have a strong voice in decisions about the investments our nation should be making. Merkley, along with Senator Ron Wyden, secured the following 25 Oregon community-initiated projects in the Senate’s draft FY25 Interior-Environment funding bill passed by the Committee Thursday:

plete the final, nearly 12-mile phase of their infrastructure resiliency and modernization project. As persistent drought continues to impact the Deschutes Basin, these irrigation modernization efforts to reduce overall water seepage will better serve farmers and ranchers, strengthen habitat for wildlife, and make the region more resilient to climate chaos.

• $1.5 million for Portland State University to establish a regional hub for solutions to mitigate extreme urban heat, which is critical in the face of climate chaos and extreme weather events.

• $5.25 million to the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) for the rehabilitation and construction for multiple In-Lieu and Treaty Fishing Access Sites along the Columbia River, with the support of Chair Patty Murray (D-WA) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA).

• $1.5 million for the City of Prineville to design and construct a new booster pump station and design new water reservoirs to provide capacity and storage. This project would extend the service area of City of Prineville’s drinking and wastewater systems to underserved communities just outside the Prineville city limits, ensuring clean drinking water and sanitary waste disposal for community members.

• $1 million to the City of John Day to help with construction of a new wastewater treatment plant. The funding will be used to replace the existing facility, which is well past its useful life. The new plant will serve both John Day and Canyon City.

• $960,000 to the City of Eugene to retrofit or relocate their wastewater pump stations to be able to withstand flooding. These pump stations are critical to maintaining continuity of wastewater operations in Eugene.

project will help the State of Oregon better understand the hydrogeology and potential sources of nitrate pollution in groundwater.

• $500,000 to support the City of Dallas efforts to build a new reservoir that is seismically resilient and capable of providing the community with a resilient potable water supply in emergencies.

The federal funding comes through the fiscal year 2025 (FY25) Senate Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, which encompasses funding for the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Indian Education, Indian Health Service (IHS), and several other agencies.

• $2 million to the Deschutes River Conservancy to convert open, porous canals into leak-free pressurized pipe. This improved water delivery will better conserve water in the Deschutes Basin—which continues to face prolonged drought—benefiting farmers, ranchers, and the environment.

• $125,000 to the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District for their Community Forest Wildfire Mitigation project. The funding will be used to purchase equipment such as chainsaws, chippers, and spider lifts, for the district to conduct mechanical thinning in areas that are susceptible to wildfire threats. This will help reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Merkley announces key committee action to boost Oregon’s wildfire resiliency,

Chair Merkley wrote the Interior-Environment bill to include key priorities for Oregon, including $43.7 million for 25 communityinitiated projects throughout the state, as well as significant investments to support programs and projects that help support wildfire management and smoke preparedness, permanently raise wildland firefighter pay, build drought resiliency and conservation, and address the water crisis in the Klamath Basin.

Under Chair Merkley’s leadership, the InteriorEnvironment bill passed the committee with bipartisan support—a key step on the road to becoming law.

“As I hold town halls in each of Oregon’s 36 counties, I hear firsthand from folks about what matters most to them. We need to take on wildfire, smoke, and heat threats; give wildland firefighters a permanent raise; modernize our water infrastructure to ensure the delivery of clean drinking water and sanitary systems; fulfill our trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribes; and protect our state’s iconic public lands and waters,” Chair Merkley said. “The Interior-Environment bill I wrote delivers on these priorities by funding environmental programs, community-initiated projects, and programs supporting Tribal communities that will benefit Oregonians in every corner of the state for years to come.”

Merkley is the only Oregon member of Congress from either chamber since Senator Mark Hatfield to serve on the Appropria-

• $4 million for the City of Tillamook to replace its 80-year-old water transmission lines with modern, seismically resilient infrastructure. This construction will enable the city to continue providing clean drinking water to the Tillamook community.

• $3.096 million to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), in partnership with Cycle Yamhill County, for the construction of the Panther Creek Trail Network. The funding will be used to construct nearly 25 miles of world-class mountain bike trails on BLM-managed forestland in Yamhill County, creating recreational opportunities for community members and providing a boost to the regional economy.

• $2.5 million to Oregon Metro to purchase a depackaging machine to remove plastic packaging from commercial food waste. This project will reduce contamination amongst food waste in the Portland-metro region, allow for improved composting, and prevent landfill methane emissions.

• $2.373 million for the Lake County Umbrella Watershed Council to design and construct fish passage, and to conduct habitat restoration in the Goose Lake Watershed. This project will improve fish passage, fish and bird habitat, and flood mitigation across five tributaries and eleven streams within the droughtprone watershed.

• $2 million for the City of Talent for their resilient waterline installation project to replace existing asbestos cement pipes, which are beyond their useful life and are susceptible to failure during earthquakes. The new, seismically resilient waterlines will ensure continuity of operations should a natural disaster strike the area.

• $2 million to the Arnold Irrigation District to com-

• $2 million to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to stand up grant programs across the state that will enable communities to implement alternatives to open burning of woody debris. This effort would reduce wood smoke emissions in communities across the state by making preferred alternatives more accessible, which will lead to improved air quality.

• $2 million to the City of Beaverton to construct the North Transmission Line Intertie. This project will provide a secondary water supply line for the City of Beaverton by constructing a modern, seismically resilient transmission main that connects the city’s water into the existing Joint Water Commission north transmission line to Beaverton’s existing south transmission line. This project will enable Beaverton to continue to deliver clean water in the case of an emergency.

• $1.95 million to the Oregon Water Resources Department to conduct well assessments and construct monitoring wells in the Lower Umatilla Basin Groundwater Management Area, which is a region experiencing nitrate contamination of groundwater.

• $1.9 million to the U.S. Forest Service to modernize Timberline Lodge’s 90-yearold fire suppression sprinkler system. This will help ensure the safety of visitors and employees, and further protect the longevity of the historic Timberline Lodge from fire dangers, like its fire scare in April 2024.

• $1.554 million for the South Umpqua Rural Community Partnership to complete habitat and water quality restoration projects that aim to restore Chinook and coho salmon populations in the Umpqua Watershed. The restoration of these important native fish species will also benefit the economies of nearby underserved communities by opening up tourism and recreation opportunities.

Alexander is the owner of Barclay Heating. The trio won the tournament while competing against a total of 38 doubles division teams in the 350-399 scratch bracket. The Open Championship is considered the premier bowling event in Oregon and it included a total of over 1,000 bowlers. Gitchell and Schriber, who are brothers-in-law, shared a $500 first place prize. Schriber had a threegame championship score of 695 and Gitchell had a score of 648. They also competed in singles events as well at the three-day tournament

April 26-28. Gitchell and Schriber have been competing in USBC state and national championship events since they were youth’s in middle school. Winning their first ever state championship represented a career highlight for sure. The duo competes in Wednesday night men’s league events every week in Tillamook.

Tillamook bowlers who also competed in the Open Championship singles division included Jared Beehler, Trevor Foss and KC Seeger. The Tillamook duo of Patrick Shuman and Andrew Kleeman competed in the doubles 350-399 bracket and they took 23rd place with a score of 1,222.

• $1.404 million to Oregon DEQ for their Crook County Groundwater Research Project. Funds will be used to implement a surface and groundwater sampling program in Crook County, which will be used to identify the scope and causes of potential groundwater contamination issues impacting the water of dozens of homeowners in a community near Prineville.

• $1.340 million to the Sweet Home Fire District to start and equip a wildland hand crew for the first time in 15 years. This funding will allow the fire district to stand up a 20-person crew and equip them with proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and equipment, carrier vehicles, and chainsaws. As the district is located in a dynamic Wildland Urban Interface area, it is in critical need of fire prevention and mitigation resources.

• $1 million for the City of Maupin’s efforts to replace its aging water system storage and inadequate distribution systems. This project will improve water quality, support regional fire prevention plans, and contribute to the community development goals.

• $665,000 to the City of Hermiston for the purchase and installation of two backup generators for the Columbia River Regional Water System. Without these generators, in the event of a power outage during peak hours, the water treatment plant’s reservoir would empty in about an hour and cause a loss of both nonpotable and potable water.

• $575,000 to the U.S. Geological Survey, in partnership with Oregon Water Resources Department, to review and update field analysis of consumptive water use from 1985 – 2024 in the Lower Umatilla Basin Groundwater Management Area. This

• $500,000 to the Nestucca, Neskowin, and Sand Lake Watersheds Council to open nearly five miles of water habitat for endangered fish species passage. This project will increase infrastructure resiliency in Tillamook County by repairing undersized culverts and small dams that inhibit natural stream processes.

Beer Garden.”

Kelley’s had two nights of stadium rock-styled band Out-Patientz performing outside on Kelley’s portable stage. Event organizers from both the city and port reported a successful event despite Jetty Construction and preparations for the forthcoming U.S. 101 repaving project.

“It seems to get better every year,” said City of Garibaldi Mayor Katie Findling. “With next year being the 65th, we can’t wait to gather feedback and work to make next year’s the best ever. But this year will be hard to top.”

positions. At a League of Oregon Cities conference, he ran into Welch, who remembered Boone from his 2020 application to Bay City and encouraged him to apply for the job.

Boone said that he had researched the city and found himself drawn in by its complicated recent history. “It called to me,” Boone said. “I get bored easily. Everything I’ve done in city govern-

his wife Leanne and two children, came up to the bay and made a day of it for the Saturday activities, and shared this:

“We loved this year’s Garibaldi Days festival. Each year, the experience seems to improve,” Mitchell said. “We can’t wait to see what they come up with next year.”

ment, you know as staff, you never have time to get bored because there’s always something new. It’s not solving the same problem over and over again.”

The council unanimously selected Boone in early July and he started on the 22nd, after a case of covid waylaid him for a week.

Boone said that in his first days on the job he had been impressed by the city staff’s dedication and skill, as well as what he felt was a general preparedness among residents of the city to move forward.

The top priority for Boone, as it has been for

successive city managers, is bringing the city’s financial audits up to date, after they were left incomplete for several years. That shortcoming has left the city in a murky financial situation and hamstrung its ability to apply for grants to undertake projects.

Boone likened the situation to a scene in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” when Jones has to cross a floor made up of lettered tiles, some of which are real and some that will break away when stepped on. In the movie, Jones figures out the phrase the letters spell, but Boone said that the city

has no such guide and must proceed cautiously. “All we can do is very gingerly feel our way forward as we’re spending money to do as little as possible to make sure we’re only spending on those solid things we have to spend on,” Boone said.

The consolation in this frustrating situation is that Boone and the council can use the time while the audits are being completed to evaluate the city’s needs and set priorities for the future. Boone said the key in that process would be striking a balance between overburdening taxpayers and giving the city the revenue needed to provide services.

Boone also said that he would work with council on possible means of increasing the city’s revenues. He mentioned that he was following the county’s work on increasing the transient lodging tax rate and that he thought the city should consider doing the same and advocating for a change in the legislated split of those funds that sees 70% dedicated to tourism-related projects.

Creating a supportive and appealing work environment will also be a focus for Boone, as will promoting employees’ growth. “Good staff are hard to come by you don’t want to burn them out,” Boone said, “you want to make sure that they’re happy, that they like coming to work, that they feel good about where they are and so keeping the atmosphere and the relationships working well is going to be a big part of my responsibilities.”

Boone also touted his role as an ex-officio member of the board of the League of Oregon Cities, following his term as board president in 2020. “I feel like that’s good for Garibaldi,” Boone said, “because now Garibaldi’s problems will be known to league legislators and therefore, they will be known to state legislators.”

After less than a week in the job, Boone said that he was really enjoying his new position and that he hoped to have a long tenure.

“Garibaldi has had some strife, some instability for a while,” Boone said, “I intend to, assuming the city council likes me enough to keep me, I would like to be the stable one, the one who sticks around.”
