Pastega Foundation donates $1 million to YMCA for purchase of Tillamook Bowling Lanes

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Tillamook YMCA will be closing on the $1.2-million purchase of the Tillamook Bowling Lanes on September 15, and taking over their management with an eye towards increasing offerings for children in the community.

The purchase is being made possible thanks to a $1 million donation from the Mario and Alma Pastega Family Foundation, which saw a great opportunity to support Tillamook’s youth.

“The YMCA and a modern youth activity center that includes bowling seem to go hand in hand as a venue to gather with family and friends to promote physical activity and friendly competition,” said Denny Pastega. “Kaylan shared his contagious excitement for this project with our family and we felt it was a project that we wanted to invest in with and for our community.”

Tillamook YMCA’s CEO and Executive Director Kaylan Sisco came up with the idea of purchasing the center last winter and has shepherded the process over the course of this year.

“I was walking past the bowling alley one day and saw the for-sale sign and thought ‘man, we could expand our footprint, we can expand our services, what can we do with a bowling alley,’” Sisco said.

Sisco quickly got to work investigating the possibility of purchasing the property and how the YMCA could finance the acquisition.

Timing was good for the YMCA, as the organization had just completed a new strategic plan at the end of 2022 and had $2.5 million in

its endowment.

Sisco initiated talks with the owners of the bowling center, Dennis and Tanya Wilks, while simultaneously beginning to look for potential donors in the community to support the project.

Pastega is the son of foundation namesakes Mario and Alma Pastega, who purchased the PepsiCola franchise in Tillamook County in 1974, at which time Pastega and his wife moved to Tillamook as well. Today, the Pastegas own and operate the Blue Heron French Cheese Company in Tillamook and are frequent visitors to the YMCA.

“Over the past nearly 50 years, the YMCA has been an important part of our lives,” Pastega said. “We utilized the many services and programs of the YMCA when raising our children, Tony, Jason and Jessica. Fast forward to now, and all our grandchildren are experiencing all the year-round benefits of the YMCA.”

Sisco reached out to Pastega and his wife Chris about the opportunity and they enthusiastically agreed to lend the foundation’s support. The foundation will give the donation in annual installments of $100,000 over the next ten years. The center will be renamed to recognize the Pastegas’ legacy, although a final decision on the name has yet to be made.

The project has also received commitments of support from the Loren Park Foundation and the Robert Riggert Family Foundation.

After closing on the purchase on Friday, September 15, the YMCA will begin operating the 16-lane center the following

Monday. Sisco said that he plans to keep the center’s current staff and operating hours, although he noted that they will be closed on September 16, as that is the day of the YMCA’s annual fundraising event at the fairgrounds.

Residents will not need to be YMCA members to use the facilities, although Sisco has yet to determine pricing. The center will continue serving alcoholic beverages in the evenings but its lottery machines will be removed.

Board of Forestry leaves HCP decision for future meeting

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

Oregon Board of Forestry Chair Jim Kelly elected to set aside a resolution that he had added to the board’s meeting on September 7. The resolution would have instructed staff to increase harvest levels under a new Habitat Conservation Plan for a final draft while simultaneously approving those revisions and the plan for submission to the federal government.

Other board members expressed concern at the late addition of the proposed resolution to the meeting’s agenda and thanked Kelly for not pursuing it. They said that they supported increasing harvest levels while completing the plan development process in public meetings.

“I am committed to us being successful in getting this but I’m not committed to an HCP that isn’t appropriately well balanced, and that’s going to have to be a judgment for each of us,” Kelly said.

The resolution that Kelly considered bringing forward

was authored by Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) staff in August and added to the agenda late in the month.

Kelly explained that the resolution had been written to address concerns from forest trust land counties and the public over significantly reduced timber harvest levels expected under a habitat conservation plan (HCP) that has been under development since 2018.

Kelly’s resolution would have instructed ODF staff to modify the HCP to maximize timber harvest levels as much as possible while complying with the Endangered Species Act and other applicable federal laws and guidelines. The resolution also would have given approval to the resulting document with “no

need for staff to return to the Board for further direction.”

This resolution drew negative feedback from public commenters at the meeting, and particularly from Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto, who serves as the chair of the Forest Trust Lands Advisory Council (FTLAC). Appearing in that capacity before the board on September 6, Yamamoto complained that the proposed resolution had not been brought to the FTLAC’s attention by ODF staff either at their last meeting in August or when it was added to the board’s agenda.

Yamamoto said that after learning about the proposed resolution from a third party,

SEE HCP DECISION PAGE A4

In addition to continuing services for existing customers, the YMCA will be using the center to expand its after-school activitt offerings for Tillamook young people. The property on Third Street shares a property line with East Elementary School and is near both Tillamook Junior High School and High School, a factor that strongly attracted Sisco.

“One of the best parts about the opportunity was the fact that it shares a property line with the school district,”

Sisco said. “We have a great relationship with (Tillamook) School District 9.”

Sisco said that he plans to operate the center as a youth center from 3 to 5 p.m. on weekdays, with free food and access to bowling and other activities. He also mentioned the possibility of adding outdoor activities to the open area on the property behind the center.

According to Sisco, the YMCA will initially focus on getting up to speed on operating the center

before evaluating possible renovations, upgrades or additions to the facility, with a temporary floor to cover some or all the lanes being one possibility.

“We will evaluate the community need, what’s the best use of the space, and if bowling is it then bowling is it,” Sisco said. “We operate everything based on the community and that’s what we’ve done here and that’s why we’re successful.”

Tillamook council discusses absence policy

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

Tillamook’s city council discussed the process for declaring a vacancy on the council and appointing a new councilor with the city’s attorney at their meeting on September 5.

Councilor Nick Torres made a motion asking that Councilor Rebekah Hopkins’s absence not be excused, but none of the other councilors seconded the motion, leaving it to fail.

The discussion was precipitated by Hopkins’s excused absences from four regular council meetings during June and August (she attended the council’s sole meeting in July).

Torres objected to her absence at the council’s second August meeting and the rest of the council voted to make it an unexcused absence, while asking to speak with counsel about the situation.

The city’s attorney essentially confirmed what councilors and City Manager Nathan George had said at the past meeting, saying that councilors could object to absences of their colleagues under the city’s charter. After two unexcused absences, the council is allowed to replace the absent counselor.

Councilor Doug Henson noted that the counselors could choose to replace an incapacitated or disabled councilor on an interim basis, allowing them to return when they were able to continue their duties.

As at the late August meeting, Torres made a motion to count Hopkins’s absence as unexcused, but this time the motion received no second and failed.

Other councilors said that they would prefer giving Hopkins the option of having a temporary replacement appointed, so as not to punish Hopkins for an illness. They asked Mayor Aaron Burris to reach out to Hopkins to broach the subject before the next meeting.

George updated the council on the failure of flower baskets around town this summer, saying that the public works department had used industrial fertilizer in error, killing off the plants.

Acting Police Chief Nick Troxel and George also reported to the council on the possibility of establishing a sex offender registry specifically for Tillamook, which they had been examining at the request of Torres.

Troxel said he had spoken with the state official in charge of handling the

statewide registry at a recent law enforcement conference. That official recommended against trying to compile a city-specific list, saying that it could cause legal issues by conflicting with state law and would be a costly undertaking. He told Troxel that as far as he knew only Portland had tried to do something similar, ending in a costly failure. George said that other city managers he had spoken to had offered similar words of caution about the possibility.

Troxel said that the state official had offered to come to Tillamook to perform a sex offender sweep and enhanced training for the department, an offer that Troxel accepted.

George said that the city could add an ordinance like one in Eugene that mirrors Oregon statute’s requirement to adhere to the terms of the registry. However, George noted that such an ordinance would be toothless, only echoing state statute without offering any additional penalty and would lack all force if the state statute was changed.

Torres was in favor of this idea, citing his fear that state legislators would change the rules surrounding the registry, putting kids in danger. The other councilors noted the cost of staff time that had

September recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor Tillamook’s Board of County Commissioners proclaimed September to be Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in Tillamook County at their meeting on September 6.

The recognition came at the request of the Tillamook Family Counseling Center, which was represented at the meeting by Prevention Specialist Janeane Krongos and Executive Director Frank Hanna-Williams.

Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in Oregon according to Krongos, and the second leading cause among people aged five to 24 years. Krongos said that in addition to the national 988 suicide and crisis lifeline that can be

reached by dialing 988, Tillamook County has a crisis line available 24 hours a day at (503) 842-8201.

Commissioners also approved a contract for just over $80,000 with Haley & Aldrich Inc., to perform geotechnical engineering services on various roads around Tillamook County.

According to Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity, the money will go towards evaluating the slide risk to several roads around the county through the boring and observation of exploratory holes and aerial drone reconnaissance. Haley & Aldrich will also provide preliminary engineering evaluation of slope failures that have already occurred at Slab Creek Road and Cape Lookout Drive.

already been spent on the issue and said they did not favor spending more money passing an ordinance that

would do nothing. Torres made a motion to enact an ordinance reiterating the state statute, but the vote

was defeated with all other councilors voting nay. Torres said that he hoped the voters were watching.

Tillamook Pharmacy closes after 22 years in business

By CHELSEA YARNELL Guest Contributor

On September 6, Tillamook Pharmacy shut their doors for good.

“This was a difficult and truly heartbreaking decision to make,” owner Trushar Patel said. “Due to economics of the pharmacy industry, pharmacy closures have been happening at an alarming rate in recent years. The lack of reimbursement, negative margin claims, increasing fees by the Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), rising drug cost, and insurance contracting has made it difficult to survive as a business.”

Patel detailed that this is closure is not unique to just Tillamook—pharmacies across the nation are shuttering. “The trend of the overall industry is going in the wrong direction,” Patel said.

“Due to a lack of regulation, the PBMs have turned this industry upside down.”

Pharmacy benefit managers are companies that serve as intermediaries between insurance companies and pharmacies, negotiating discounts for their customers while putting pressure on pharmacies to lower their prices. And it’s not just indepen-

dent, small pharmacies that are struggling.

“The chains are going through a difficult time as well,” Patel said. “For example, Bi-Mart closed down all 56 of their pharmacy locations last year due to these factors. Even the larger chains, such as Walgreens, will be closing 150 locations by the end of their next fiscal year. CVS is closing 900 pharmacies in the span of three years.”

Tillamook Pharmacy customers received a letter in the mail with information about the closure. It detailed that beginning September 7 all prescription records will

this year under a transitional implementation plan, Yamamoto said this would still be insufficient to economically support the counties and special districts that rely on the revenue. In recent years, state forest timber sales have totaled between 225 and 250 MMBF.

Yamamoto expressed concern at the process used to add the resolution and the abdication of final review it suggested. He encouraged the board to further prioritize harvest maximization and said that they should review any future documents in public, allowing for feedback.

When the proposed resolution came up on the agenda on September 7, Kelly tabled its consideration in favor of a board discussion of the HCP process, responding to the public feedback.

The board’s other members said that they were happy that Kelly tabled the resolution, saying that it had been a surprise to them and

“We know that the impact of this closure will affect the lives of many and we hope that our patients are able to have a seamless transition to Fred Meyer,” Patel said.

“We care for you and about you and we will miss being your local, independent pharmacy,” Patel said.

they felt that the process needed to remain in the public eye.

They said that they supported continuing the path towards an HCP. They said that they too were interested in maximizing harvest as allowed and understanding the reduction in forecast harvest levels that has occurred through the HCP process.

Initial estimates for harvest levels associated with the HCP estimated that between 225 and 250 MMBF would be harvested annually and the downward trajectory of estimates was concerning to members.

Board Member Ben Deumling said that while he wanted to see the harvest levels increased, it was not his role as a board member to demand specific harvest levels from the staff and that the board needed to trust ODF’s experts.

Board Member Karla Chambers said that it was important to her that the process

achieve a balance between economic and conservation goals, a sentiment echoed by other board members. “I want to find balance and perspective because I think that’s where we’ll find a good decision,” Chambers said.

ODF State Forests Division Chief Mike Wilson explained that the downward revisions to harvest projections had come as more specific data was used to develop the HCP and model harvests. He also stressed that the current transitional implementation plan, whose harvest levels have caused the concern, was regulated by both old take-avoidance approaches employed by the department and the strictures of the new HCP, potentially making harvests lower than they will be long term.

Wilson said that ODF staff will bring four scenarios to the board reflecting updated modeling for consideration at their December meeting.

Wilson also said that he would more fully explain the reasons for any divergence in the projected harvest levels from earlier projections at that meeting.

Kelly cautioned that any additional modifications to the plan requested by the board would further delay the HCP’s development. He noted that similar delays had led to the failure of board attempts to develop an HCP on two prior occasions.

Board Member Chandra Ferrari also reminded the board and public that final approval for the HCP will come from federal agencies. Those agencies will determine if the HCP comports with the Endangered Species Act and other federal conservation legislation without consideration for harvest levels. Ferrari also asked Wilson to consider the financial impacts that harvest decreases would have on ODF’s budget, which receives over a third of those revenues.

Nestucca football takes loss in home opener

By MIKE WEBER

For The Headlight Herald

The Nestucca High Bobcats were hoping to have a successful start to their Class 2A football season, particularly since they had home field advantage in their nonleague season opening contest

September 1 versus the Gervais High Cougars.

The young Bobcats (01) squad (eight freshman, five sophomores), guided by longtime Coach Jeff Schiewe, were just out of sync offensively and defensively and they struggled throughout the game against the tough Cougars (1-0), who won 42-0

at Nestucca High School.

“The score was bad and it was one of those games where we showed that there’s lots of room for improvement,” said Schiewe.

“There were some good things though, such as our pass blocking, which was fine. Defensively, we have to get better and we just have to execute better in terms of our

line surge. They (Cougars) ran well and they passed well and it was obvious that they’re a very good team. We had a slow start in our first game of the season and we have a tough preseason schedule.”

The Bobcats played their second contest in a nonleague matchup September 9 versus the

Gold Beach High Panthers (result was unavailable) at Gold Beach High School.

Nestucca plays its next game

September 15 in its Special District 1 opener at home versus the Corbett High Cardinals at 7 p.m.

“We need to work on pass defense and execution, so there’s a lot of things that we have to work on to

improve,” said Schiewe. “We’re a young team that needs to grow and the kids are aware of that. We protected everyone and we stayed healthy and we didn’t have any injuries, so that was good. It was tough having an uncontested loss like that though and that was the worst part about the game.”

Neah-Kah-Nie opens football season with road loss

By MIKE WEBER  For The Headlight Herald

Playing their first game in two years, the Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates traveled four and a half hours to Eastern Oregon for their OSAA Class 2A football nonleague season opener September 2 against the Irrigon High Knights.

The Pirates (0-1), guided by first-year Coach Alejandro Quintana-Rios, played pretty well for three quarters while outscoring the Knights (10) 38-30. The Pirates had several early costly mistakes first quarter fumbles and they fell behind 36-6 after the first 12 minutes. The Pirates had

the momentum going in their favor for the remainder of the contest though, but they were unable to overcome the deficit and lost 66-44 at Irrigon High School.

“With the exception of the first quarter, we did play a very competitive game,” said Quintana-Rios. “We just played awful early in the game, we had a slow start and we just weren’t ready to execute our plays very well. We fumbled on the third play of the game and they (Knights) scooped up the ball and scored a touchdown right away.”

The Pirates settled down and regained their composure in the second quarter and they stepped up their

defensive intensity level, while holding the Knights to their lowest scoring quarter (six points) of the contest. Both teams scored a touchdown in the second, with Irrigon on top 42-12 at halftime.

“We had trouble snapping the ball and so we made a change at the center position and then we started getting a little more consistent so that was good,” said QuintanaRios. “Once we actually started getting the snaps down, we got running back Anthony Allen (11 carries, 83 yards rushing, touchdown) more involved with the offense and the first time he touched the ball he ran for five yards and then he

followed that with a 15-yard run.”

Allen (nine catches, 200 yards receiving, three touchdowns) had a big role in the comeback, including scoring on a 62-yard reception on a pass from senior quarterback Michael Prior (12-for-21 passing, 283 yards, five touchdowns).

“We were kind of picking them (Knights) apart with our passing,” said QuintanaRios. “Whenever Anthony got into the open field towards the outside, we started having success with our passing game. After Michael settled in after having first game jitters, he started throwing really well and he didn’t throw any

interceptions. The only bad part was when we had the bad snaps early in the game and then he was sacked a couple times in the backfield. Other than that, he was pretty mobile in the pocket and he was doing a good job of finding our open receivers.”

The Knights, of Special District 4 near Boardman, outscored Neah-Kah-Nie 8-6 in the third to extend their advantage to 50-18 after three quarters. The Pirates displayed a resilient neversay-die attitude though and came back strong in the fourth. The Pirates outscored the Knights 26-16, trimming the final margin to 22 points and making it a much more respectable score.

The Pirates had 369 yards of total offense, includind 333 yards passing. Sophomore receiver Dylan Donaldson had one catch for 44 yards and senior receiver John Burch had three receptions for 38 yards.

The Pirates will play a nonleague contest in their home opener September 8 versus the Willamina High Bulldogs. Neah-Kah-Nie plays its Special District 1 opening contest September 15 against the Vernonia High Loggers at 7 p.m. at Vernonia High School.

Injuries slow Mooks in loss against Banks

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Tillamook Cheesemakers football team lost 14-29 at home to the Banks Braves on September 8, giving the Mooks a 1-1 record.

The teams were evenly matched in the early going, with the score tied deep into the third quarter, but a slew of injuries for the Cheesemakers stymied their offense and allowed the Braves to outdistance the Mooks.

“We were kind of the walking dead there by the end of the game, for sure,”

Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson said after the game.

“We have to keep working on our depth, which obviously we got the opportunity to put a lot of reserves in and get some depth work tonight, not really the game or team you want to do that against.”

The Cheesemakers won the opening coin flip and deferred to the Braves, who elected to receive the opening kickoff. After picking up a first down, the Braves’ quarterback threw an errant pass that was intercepted by Carsen Rieger on the right sideline.

Taking over in good field position around the Banks’ 40, the Mooks were stymied on three straight downs before deciding to go for it on fourth. After receiving the snap, quarterback Tanner Hoskins came under pressure quickly, but scrambled to keep the play alive. Hoskins found Griffyn Boomer on the left side just short of the sticks before the receiver eluded several Banks defenders to take the ball all the way to the Braves’ 11yard line.

On the ensuing play, running back Andrew White took the handoff and found a big hole in the middle of the line, running the ball in for a touchdown. After Hoskins’s extra point kick, the Mooks led 7-0 with just under nine and a half minutes to go in the first.

The Braves went three and out before punting on their next drive, which was

followed by a Hoskins pick trying to find Boomer deep.

Banks’ offense was struggling in the early going, racking up repeated false start penalties and finding themselves consistently behind the chains. On their third drive, a first-down holding penalty and thirddown false start combined with strong Cheesemaker defense to force another three-and-out.

A weak punt by Banks set Tillamook up just inside Braves’ territory on the ensuing drive and passes to White and Boomer for first downs gave the Mooks a first and ten at the Banks 16. Facing a third and ten two plays later, Hoskins tried to thread the needle to find Seth Wehinger in heavy traffic near the goal line, only for a Braves’ defender to tip the pass and another to dive and intercept it in the end zone.

The Braves’ offense found its rhythm on the next drive, with the line opening wide holes in the Cheesemaker defense for their running backs. As the first quarter expired, Banks was marching at the Tillamook 30, and after a catch and run on the first play of the second quarter reached the three. A passing touchdown and point after tied the game at 7-7 less than a minute into the second.

On the next Cheesemaker drive, injuries began to become a problem. Rieger had been out since shortly after his game-opening

interception with a suspected concussion, and after completing a pass for a first down, Hoskins was hit and hobbled, and headed to the bench.

Wehinger stepped up admirably, taking designed quarterback draws for two first downs in three plays before Hoskins returned with a noticeable limp. Though Hoskins would play the rest of the game, he was in clear discomfort and limping throughout, and Boomer would go on to miss most of the second half while White was knocked out for the fourth quarter.

On Hoskins first play back under center, he found Boomer in the flat and the receiver evaded four Banks’ defenders before meeting two at the five-yard line and dragging them across the goal line. The touchdown and extra point put the Cheesemakers ahead 14-7 with 8:08 to go in the half.

Banks started its next drive at its own 25 and despite continued penalties, moved down the field with a seven-plus minute drive, capped by a passing touchdown that knotted the score at 14 as the teams went into the locker room.

Receiving the kick in the second half, the Cheesemakers came out strong, advancing the ball to the Braves’ 36, before turning it over on downs.

Banks failed to move the ball on its first three downs

and looked poised to go for it on fourth down before a quick kick caught the Cheesemakers off-guard and pinned them against their own goal line.

A Boomer 20-yard reception gave the Cheesemakers breathing room, but he was knocked out of the game two plays later when one Banks player took him down by the facemask before another came in with a late hit.

“We can’t just try to keep plays alive for so long that an entire defense rallies to us and smashes us with five guys,” Johnson said. “We need to be better at that.” Both penalties were called, moving the Cheesemakers to the Banks’ 34 from their own 30, but the loss of Boomer proved critical for the Mooks. They failed to move the ball forward past the Banks’ 30, and, after a holding penalty on third down, were forced to punt on fourth.

On the next drive, Banks busted a third-down play wide open from their own 26, with a receiver breaking away from the defense for a 74-yard touchdown after a short reception. After a false start on the extra-point attempt, Banks elected to go for two and converted, putting them on top 22-14, with just over a minute left in the third.

Tillamook started the next drive near midfield and picked up two first downs to advance into Banks’ territory as the fourth quarter began. But Banks’ defense stiffened and a Hoskins completion on fourth down came up just inches shy of the first, turning the ball over.

Banks quickly pushed into Cheesemaker territory before a holding penalty on first down stalled their drive and forced a punt.

Tillamook, looking at its potential final possession but missing key players went three and out, punting the

ball away to the Braves for the final time.

Banks pounded the ball on the ground, advancing to the Cheesemaker goal line with around two minutes left, before milking the clock and scoring on a quarterback keeper with 25 seconds left, pushing the final margin to 29-14.

“Most of our guys have never played on a Friday night in a varsity game against that type of physicality and now they’ve got one on their belt,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to keep moving forward and get our bodies healthy and get back and ready to go against Southridge.”

Tillamook will travel to Beaverton on Thursday, September 14, and look to rebound against the Southridge Skyhawks, who are 1-1, with a win against Centennial in week one and a loss to Grant in week two.

Wewere a cozy bunch, about 40 Cape Meares neighbors and friends enjoying a Labor Day weekend potluck in the Barbara Bennett Community Center while the rain took hold outside. From grilled burgers to salmon, homemade cornbread to quiche, green salads to baked beans, and a sinful array of desserts, we had it all. There were conversations and laughter throughout the room. Thanks to the Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA) board members and volunteers who put on this fun community event. Goodbye, summer; welcome, autumn.

A neighboring couple finished up summer with two outdoor adventures. The first one saw them joining Paddle Oregon (analogous to Cycle Oregon for biking) with Willamette Riverkeepers, https:// willamette-riverkeeper.org/, a group that works to restore and promote the Willamette River watershed in partnership with other organizations. Their canoe put-in was at Peoria Park in Corvallis. They paddled their way down to Keizer Rapids Park in Keizer. There were 90 people total in the group, mostly kayakers, including 30 volunteers. The party camped overnight in farmers’ fields, with permission, for two nights of the journey.

Garibaldi Grade School is in full swing. Elementary school K-5 started back on the 5th, and preschoolers started September 11. Now, of course, we should always be mindful of our speed going through town. Just remember we’re back to the time of year when the kids are coming in from three towns around.

The school has their Open House coming up on Thursday, September 21, from 5:15-6:15. Families can come and hear about what the school is doing, the curriculum they are using, tour the school, etc. There are no classes on Monday, Sept. 25th as it is a district wide professional development day. Elementary staff will be participating in PD around our new ELA curriculum.

I’m trying to decide which classic to read next. You know who I’m asking first. She’s everybody’s favorite local librarian, June Ekborg:

“As noted last week, September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. I invite all Garibaldians of all ages to sign up for their library card if they don’t already have one. Furthermore, let’s all use our cards this month. Think you don’t need a card because you have internet access? Think again.

There are so many things that you need a library card to be able to access for free. Movies, tv shows, music, books, databases, etc. Did I mention these are free with your library card? So, whether you come in or go online, find something GREAT at your library this month – and every month.”

Lastly, this was the hardest interview I ever conducted.

I had to go down the hall, through the mud room, outside, into the garage, up the stairs and into the loft where Katie Findling was taking a moment between conference calls with offices as far as 9

Meals were provided by Paddle Oregon as well as evening musical entertainment and educational talks. Their second adventure was on foot, backpacking with another couple in Central Oregon. The foursome covered part of the Pacific Crest Trail, near Pamelia Lake. The pictures they shared showed towering trees, lakes with beautiful mountain reflections, and a sometimes-rough trail. Weather was not as pleasant as that of the paddling voyage; rain gear was needed for much of this trip. But they enjoyed both experiences, and now are back home to settle down to what we all hope is a good fall fishing season.

You can catch ’em earlier and later, but the heart of the fall salmon season is September-October. So, Capt. Pete and I were out on Tillamook Bay on September 1 in our little wooden drift

boat. Before long, one of our rods went down—but no fish. Instead, it was a big snag that a neighbor had warned us about a couple of weeks ago. The snag won this contest, and we lost some tackle. But later a rod went down again, and Capt. Pete had a fish on. He fought that zippy salmon to the boat and identified it: a wild Chinook. You can keep only two of those this season (caught on different days), so he debated but ended up bringing it aboard. It was a nice 15.5-lb. buck caught on a spinner painted with a Mexican hat design on one side and an Armageddon on the other (thanks, Bill Winter). Tight lines to all the fisherfolk out there.

Our community’s website, capemeares.org, has a new tab with information about short-term rentals (STRs).

The entire 78-page STR ordinance for Tillamook County is posted there, along with a listing and map of STRs, including the 31 in Cape Meares. Most importantly, it gives a phone number for non-emergency STR complaints: 503-850-0402. Also, the community plan developed over the summer with the help of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is posted on the website; tap the “Community Planning” tab in the menu bar.

So, naturally, my first question was: “When will you finally start pushing yourself?”

Katie: “I have caffeine,” she said, evenly. “I wouldn’t say this is the exact path I had in mind when we moved here to be 6 blocks away from my mom and set down roots where three generations prior to myself had made their way. But our family has a rule: You can’t complain unless you step up and volunteer to help make something the best it can be. So, our household is a little hectic, but hopefully in a couple years our city’s finances and utilities won’t leave me anxious. With perseverance, they’re repaired in time for the kids to go to preschool. Then, I might exhale. Or we may add to our house and family. The future is fluid, and we’re in a unique place to set the tone and its direction for the future.”

in cities and other municipalities. We tried to get on their schedule in 2023 when the well-documented events during this time last year happened and it didn’t end up working out then. But now there’s a solid plan in place, one that targets our audits to be caught up by the end of 2024. That’s an aggressive goal, so I’m staying flexible on my expectations, but definitely it’s what we’re aiming for.

“The audits are the key to grants and financial flexibility. If we get those under control, with a couple good years of “credit repair” and with a consistent focus on fiscal responsibility and timely accounting, then bigger, federal grants are more available to us, which can better facilitate our updating our infrastructure.”

Me: “What should the City of Garibaldi expect from your time with the gavel?” Katie: “Ideally, our meetings will be calm, efficient, and productive. Our community will feel heard, without losing focus on the task at hand and staying on track.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is

Irecently sat down with Mayor Charles McNeilly to talk about an upcoming series of workshops devoted to community and destination management planning. Headed by the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA), these workshops are meant to identify projects to improve Rockaway Beach, whether from the viewpoint of residents, visitors or businesses. “I don’t even care if tourists offer suggestions,” Mayor McNeilly said with a laugh. “These workshops are for anyone: residents, short-term rental owners and business owners too, who may or may not live within the city limits. I care deeply about what matters to them.”

Beginning Monday, September 18, Nan Devlin of the TCVA will lead four workshops during which we’ll brainstorm, create, and prioritize projects intended to improve various parts of our community. Prior workshops in Bay City, Cape Meares and Oceanside have focused on projects related to outdoor recreation, local foods, arts and culture, lodging, public safety and more.

Most important, the projects developed in these TCVA workshops are intended to fall under the umbrella of our transient lodging tax (TLT), meaning the funds will be available to implement these projects.

How this will work: at 6 p.m. in City Hall (276 S Highway 101), on September 18, a Community Information Meeting will kick off the process. Attendees will set the goals for a community and destination management plan, followed by a discussion of sustainable tourism and destination management. This meeting will also describe the three follow-up workshops, as well as what deliverables

Our staff provides caring, professional assistance for a wide range of personal and family needs.

the workshops will produce. As always, a question-and-answer period will be provided for attendees.

Following this meeting, the first workshop will take place on October 2, also at 6 p.m. in Rockaway Beach City Hall. This workshop will begin with a discussion of what the community values about living in Rockaway Beach. This workshop will also introduce a key concept for projects: analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) facing the execution of each project. This tactic for identifying outcomes and obstacles will help us identify workable, significant projects for the city to implement with TLT funds.

Workshop #2, scheduled for October 23 from 6-8:30 p.m., will begin with a review of the input from workshop #1. It will go on to define categories and initiatives based on a discussion of values, desired assets, and the SWOT previously identified. The meeting will then review, discuss, and propose additional projects within each initiative, and discuss why they matter.

Monday, November 13 will see the final workshop, during which attendees will review and refine input from the previous sessions. This workshop will look into challenges and funding options, the length of the proposed projects, and most important will rank and prioritize projects.

Within a month of this final

workshop, TCVA will present the city with a draft of the community and destination management plan. This will take the form of a prioritized list of projects, which can be submitted to the budget committee at the beginning of the next fiscal year. This committee will then submit the list to city council for inclusion in our next year’s budget.

TCVA will facilitate and provide materials for each meeting, so that residents and other participants can concentrate on the vision they have for how to best use our TLT funds. TCVA recommends that the city complete at least three of the top-priority projects within a year.

This is an important point: the plans, ideas and projects identified in these four workshops will be laid out in a framework that can see them in action in the next twelve months.

For a look at other communities’ experiences with the process, visit https://tillamookcoast.com/industry/ and scroll to the section titled Community & Destination Management Plans. You can view completed plans for Cape Meares, Oceanside, Manzanita, Bay City, and Garibaldi.

Whether or not you already have a specific idea or suggestion, Mayor McNeilly encourages you to get involved. “Even if you don’t have an idea, come to the sessions and see what your friends and neighbors have to say.

“You can contribute to creating the vision for Rockaway Beach. If you ever felt like you had no input or say in where the city was going, join us.”

Tillamook Residents Honored for Building Bridges Across Differences

A team of 9 residents bringing financial literacy courses to Tillamook will be featured at the national Bridge-Building Innovation Showcase in October

Ateam of nine Oregonians who have worked across differences to promote financial education and empowerment in Tillamook County has been selected to showcase its efforts at the 2023 Bridge-Building Innovation Showcase.

The team came together in late 2022 as part of Urban Rural Action’s Uniting for Action on the Oregon Economy, a non-partisan program that brought together Oregonians in Portland Metro, Benton County, and Tillamook County to address financial literacy gaps, support aspiring entrepreneurs, and help vulnerable and homeless individuals find productive employment.

The Tillamook team partnered with Financial Beginnings Oregon to develop a plan to train volunteers and offer financial literacy classes through community partners and area schools.

The financial resources and empowerment courses are promoted through local partner Tillamook County Wellness. Helping Hands, TBCC and Trask High School are already offering Financial Beginnings courses. The program is slated to expand to CARE, Inc., Habitat for Humanity, and Tides of Change, as well as into all local school districts.

“URA’s work provides a path for people who want to develop the tools to be able

to communicate effectively and effect change in the form of a collective project,” said Maree Beers, the Financial Beginnings Community Partner Lead. “Our communities and our country are so much stronger when we unite as Oregonians and Americans to tackle shared challenges. I’m very excited by what we’re accomplishing together!”

The Tillamook group is one of six teams of Americans from across the country who are being recognized for volunteering their time to work across political, racial, religious, generational, and other differences to solve local problems. The Showcase will consist of a live event at the Unity Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City on October 14, 2023 and a virtual webinar on October 19, 2023.

The Tillamook team was selected for the Showcase following a competitive process that included a written application and an interview with two judges who explored the team’s efforts to build relationships across differences and engage the broader community in addressing financial literacy.

The Uniting for Action on the Oregon Economy program has received financial support through the “Healing Starts Here” initiative from New Pluralists, which supports community-based efforts that promote belonging, embrace differences, and counteract divisive forces. To

Werner Beef & Brew Hosts Fundraiser Event for Tillamook Athletics, Donates Over $10,000 to Local High School Sports Programs

Tillamook, Oregon

The Cannon Beach Chorus invites singers to join for its Winter Season 2023

The Cannon Beach Chorus invites singers to join for its Winter Season 2023. Every Monday night at 6:30 in the Cannon Beach Community Church in Cannon Beach, the nonaudition community Chorus welcomes singers from Astoria to Tillamook, to share the joy and challenge of singing choral music.

The Winter repertoire reflects the theme, “Season of Light, Season of Joy”, with pieces such as “Sure on This Shining Night” by Marten Lauridsen, “There’s Still My Joy” by Melissa Manchester, as well as contemporary arrangements of traditional carols. The Chorus is directed by Roy Seiber of Cannon Beach and accompanied by pianist,

Barbara Richmond of Bay City.

2023 marks thirty-five years of concerts shared with local communities from Oysterville, Washingon to Tillamook. This season’s concerts will be held December 1, 2023 at 7:00 PM at the Cannon Beach Community Church in Cannon Beach and December 3, 2023 at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church in Nehalem. In support of its mission to expand awareness and appreciation of the choral arts, the Cannon Beach Chorus awards an annual scholarship to local graduating high school vocalists who pursue choral music at the collegiate level. The 2023 Carol Homme

Scholarship was awarded by the Cannon Beach Chorus to Gracie Klemp and Elizabeth Jesberger. Both are Seaside High School graduates. Gracie Klemp is majoring in Music Education at Oregon State University. Elizabeth Jesberger is majoring in Vocal Performance at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. Both students received $750. The scholarship was created in memory of a past member of the Cannon Beach Chorus who was a generous patron of the arts.

For more information about the Cannon Beach Chorus and its scholarship, check the website at www. cannonbeachchorus.org, or call 503-338-2241.

· September 6, 2023 – Werner Beef & Brew, in collaboration with Tillamook Athletics, played host to a fundraiser parking lot party on Friday, August 18. The event featured ticketed activities such as a mechanical bull, axe throwing (courtesy of Portland Axe Throwers) and a dunk tank. The dunk tank was a huge hit and provided participants the opportunity to dunk various athletics program coaches. Other activities included a bounce house (popular with the 10 and under crowd) and rockin’ live music from two bands: Scott Casey’s Nü: 80’s Dance Party and Hair Attack.

“Sports, and the Tillamook Athletics Program, have been a huge part of our family, with generations of Werner youth participating in the program,” explains Sadie Rider, VP of Operations with Werner Family Brands and daughter of Ken Werner. “It was a no-brainer for us to host this kind of event and to continue to show our support for Cheesemaker Athletics.”

No event at Werner’s would be complete without a twist, and the evening had

Drive A Little Save A Lot!

a couple that took the crowd by surprise. The first was the surprise celebration of Ken Werner’s 60th birthday, complete with birthday cake for all from SaraSota’s and a rousing chorus of ‘Happy Birthday,’ led by Scott Casey on keyboard. The second twist was the announcement that, in keeping true to the ‘Ken Werner way of taking a relatively simple plan and going completely over the top,’ Werner Beef & Brew would be donating, not 10% (as was previously advertised), but 100% of the sales from the day to Tillamook Athletics.

“Receiving support from our local business owners means a lot to our student athletes,” said Lonnie Eggert, Tillamook High School Athletic Director. “This gift from Ken Werner, and the Werner family, will go a long way to strengthening our

program this year. To Ken, I say ‘thank you for all you have done and continue to do for THS Athletics and this community’. Go Mooks!”

All in all, the donation from Werner Beef & Brew totaled $10,000 and change, giving Tillamook Athletics a great boost at the kickoff of the 2023-2024 season. And they’re not done yet! Werner Beef & Brew looks forward to hosting pop-up Pep Rally events during this year’s Football season. Attendees can expect an energizing display of Cheesemaker spirit with exhibitions from THS Cheer and Pep Band during these events. During the Pep Rally, a percentage of the sales on Werner’s Tilly and Mook Burgers will be donated to the Athletics fund. Make sure to follow Werner Beef & Brew on Facebook for more details.

As you hold me and carry me around, you’ll just melt as I snuggle and nuzzle your neck and under your chin. Yes, I’m everything you’ve ever wished for in a kitten. If you want pure unconditional love in your lap, heart, and home, here’s the app that you’ll need. https://unitedpaws.wordpress.com/online-adoption-application
