NNSLWC completes habitat restoration projects in Sand Lake Watershed

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

The Nestucca, Neskowin, and Sand Lake Watersheds Council recently completed an extensive habitat restoration project for fish species, adding large wood to Sand Creek, Jewel Creek and Andy Creek.

The project added logs to 74 different sites across 2.69 miles of the creeks, with each installation consisting of four to eight logs with around half maintaining their root wads.

“Without good partners this project wouldn’t happen,” Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council (NNSLWC) Executive Director David Shively said. “It’s fun to work with everybody.”

The project started following a 2019 study that investigated the limiting factors for coho salmon in the watershed and identified the sites on the three creeks where channel and gravel conditions could be improved.

The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) awarded over $84,000 in funding for the project in 2021 and the

Commissioners declare drought state of emergency in Tillamook County

Tillamook’s

Board of County Commissioners declared a local state of emergency because of drought conditions existing across the county on September 20.

The declaration puts the county’s need for assistance on record, and should it be matched by Governor Tina Kotek, will allow additional state resources to flow to the county for drought relief.

Emergency Management Director Randy Thorpe appeared at the meeting to discuss the need for the

Tillamook Sheriff Josh Brown held three outreach events at libraries across Tillamook County in the third week of September.

Speaking at the main branch of the library on September 20, Brown told citizens that his office’s resources, especially his staff, are stretched thin leading to difficult choices about which enforcement activities to pursue.

“We need more staff, plain and simple” Brown said at

declaration and resources available to the county.

Thorpe said that the entire county is in severe drought conditions according to recent hydrological evaluations conducted by the state.

Thorpe expects the governor to recognize the state of emergency, which will open the way for the Office of Resiliency and Emergency Management to supplement its efforts in the county. The agency is already delivering water to property owners whose wells have run dry, a service that can be coordinated through Thorpe’s office.

All three commissioners

noted that it was a highly unusual situation for Tillamook County, which receives more than 100 inches of annual rainfall.

They explained that the county does not provide water and that its only role is to step in in situations like this to request and coordinate state resources for those in need.

Commissioners also noted the importance of increasing water resiliency as climate change might be changing the hydrological patterns on the north coast.

They applauded planned work in north county to intertie the water systems of Nehalem and Manzanita and

mentioned that it might be time to consider promoting the installation of low flow plumbing fixtures and water storage tanks on properties with wells.

Thorpe also mentioned the difficulty of contracting potable water delivery services, noting that there were no companies operating potable water tanker trucks on the north coast, and few statewide.

Commissioner David Yamamoto also announced that the Port of Tillamook Bay will be withdrawing from Tillamook Lightwave. Yamamoto said that the departure was happening on amicable terms and came

as the port felt the group’s countywide mandate did not align with its special service district status.

Yamamoto said that a business valuation will now be undertaken to determine Tillamook Lightwave’s assets’ value. Lightwave owns fiber cables, a transpacific, submarine cable landing site in Pacific City and other broadband assets across the county. It was founded almost 30 years ago to help bring internet access to residents.

Yamamoto said that while it has not made money, Lightwave’s infrastructure was a point of pride and among the best internet-

the event.

The last two years have been particularly difficult for the department, according to Brown, as department detectives are responsible for four, ongoing homicide investigations across the county. Brown said that these complicated investigations have put a huge strain on his deputies’ time, reducing their ability to respond to other incidents.

Brown also pointed to tourists as a major pressure on the department’s resources. He said that call volumes increase by 25-30% during the summer months while tourists do not pay any taxes that contribute to the county’s emergency services. Brown acknowledged that

this was not his problem to solve but said he had been in touch with Tillamook commissioners and representatives in Salem discussing possible solutions. He said that he thought increasing the county’s transient lodging tax and directing the increased revenues towards public safety was a good potential solution and mentioned the possibility of forming a tourism improvement district.

Brown also addressed several major concerns for county residents, including the proliferation of homeless people, increasing drug activity and lack of animal control.

Brown acknowledged that recent laws and court rulings in Oregon have given homeless people expanded rights to shelter but that he

still wanted to see them held responsible for property damage or other crimes they might commit.

“I don’t believe we need to punish someone who is experiencing homelessness but they do need to be held accountable,” Brown said.

The sheriff is working with county commissioners to craft a new camping ordinance that will set up parameters for the time, place and manner in which people are allowed to shelter in the county. The Tillamook Police Department and city government are working on a similar ordinance and Manzanita passed one earlier this year.

Discussion of increases in drug activity was prompted by several residents’ questions about how the department is addressing

“drug houses” across the county.

Brown said that the passage of Measure 110 in 2020, decriminalizing possession of small amounts of drugs, “really changed the face of what drug enforcement looked like in Oregon.” While possessing large quantities of drugs and distributing them is still a crime, the change in the legal landscape severely curtailed law enforcement’s ability to prosecute those crimes.

Brown explained that before the passage of 110, law enforcement officers were able to extract information from drug users about their suppliers by reaching favorable plea deals in exchange for cooperation. With the removal of penalties for possession, that tool has been removed from officers’

supporting infrastructure on the coast. He said that following the business valuation, the group will look for a third governmental entity to partner with in its management, to join the county and Tillamook People’s Utility District.

Commissioners began the interview process to select Yamamoto’s replacement on September 19, after the application window closed on September 14. Board of Commissioners Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty told the Herald that 15 people had applied and that more information about them would be provided shortly.

arsenal.

Now, taking action against a suspected drug house requires a deputy to perform a stakeout or undercover operation to gather evidence of probable cause to search the premises, according to Brown. With high call volumes and other investigative responsibilities, Brown said his deputies do not have the time to perform that type of investigation. Brown’s response to a group of volunteers from Tillamook K9 Rescue asking for help handling runaway dogs was similar. Brown said that while the department had helped transport dogs to the shelter in the past, a scarcity of deputies made doing so logistically unfeasible now as patrol vehicles could not accommodate a dog and a

Mudd Nick Foundation fundraiser draws record crowd

Arecord number of attendees came out for the Mudd Nick Foundation Golf and Charity event in North County on September 15 and 16 to support the Neah-Kah-Nie School District.

Teams competed on the Manzanita Links in the golf tournament on the 16th ahead of an awards dinner and live auction hosted at the North Coast Recreation District in the evening that attracted more than 200 attendees.

“You as philanthropists to this organization are enabling and fueling possibilities for these students,” said Monica Isbell, Mudd Nick Foundation Board President.

In its 28 years, the Mudd Nick Foundation has now

raised more than $2.5 million to support various programs across the district. Those programs were highlighted at the fundraising dinner by a performance from the NeahKah-Nie High School Choir and speeches from students who had gone on trips sponsored by the foundation this summer.

The event kicked off on the 15th, as the golf teams, which had traveled from at least eight different states for the event, were treated to a welcome dinner. The tournament teed off at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and competitors, their guests and other supporters gathered at the North Coast Recreation District for dinner in the evening.

Isbell welcomed the attendees to the dinner, reiterating the foundation’s mission of providing meaningful

and impactful learning experiences for every student in the district. She said that the foundations work expands minds, challenges bodies and “sparks souls to dream bigger and aim higher and raise the bar for themselves.”

The foundation begins its support of students in elementary school, offering literacy support initiatives, a plethora of education-enhancing field trips and jump rope assemblies. Its support continues in middle and high school with backing for the robotics teams and music and theatre programs and events to promote cross-cultural awareness and help students explore post-secondary opportunities, including tours of area colleges and fire school, which shows high schoolers career opportunities in the forestry and natural resource

industries.

“The students in NeahKah-Nie School District are fortunate to have the Mudd Nick Foundation creating and funding wonderful, lifechanging experiences and opportunities,” Neah-KahNie Superintendent Dr. Tyler Reed said. “We are so thankful for the ongoing support of the Mudd Nick Foundation and the community partners who so graciously give their resources and time to help our students succeed.”

Some of the most memorable experiences come in a summer trip for middle schoolers to Washington D.C. and a foreign exchange program in Costa Rica for high schoolers.

The two seniors who participated in the Costa Rican exchange program this summer spoke at the dinner and

shared how their lives had been enriched by the eightweek experience. One said that the trip had given her the opportunity to conquer her fear of volcanoes and ease her fear of ants, the other said she had enjoyed the challenge of learning French in Spanish and both said they had formed lasting friendships with their host families and other Costa Ricans.

Two of the twenty students who had gone on the Washington D.C. trip this summer also spoke at the dinner. They said that despite a stomach bug striking some of the students midway through the trip, it had been a great experience to see the monuments and other historical sites.

All the students effusively thanked the foundation for its support for the trips and

all the other programs they had experienced in their educational careers, a sentiment echoed by the volunteer, student waiters staffing the event to express their gratitude, as well as multiple teachers who spoke.

Foundation Cofounder Lynn Mudd and her son and board vice president, Bradley Mudd, presented the 2023 Jim and Lynn Mudd award to Sherry and Joe Atteridge in recognition of their support for the PX2 One Session program, which helps middle school students establish a positive mindset. Awards for the golf tournament were also handed out at the dinner and the evening concluded with a live auction and included a silent auction of students’ artwork throughout the evening.

Community raises $130,000 at YMCA Auction

The Tillamook Fairgrounds event center was transformed on September 19 to Oz for the YMCA’s annual fundraiser.

Our local community proved “There is No Place Like Home” by raising $130,000 for YMCA programs and services in Tillamook County. The annual event hosted by the Tillamook County Family YMCA transported participants to the Emerald City with an experience that walked attendees through

the movie from Kansas to Oz.

“I feel like this was the most fun for our guests that we have ever been able to offer,” noted Kaylan from the Y, the YMCA’s enthusiastic and occasionally theatrical Executive Director, “From the games and prizes to the auction itself, everyone just seemed really into it! A lot

of people dressed to theme and I as always I was blown away by the generosity and commitment of our local residents.”

The Y’s focus on youth was on display for the evening with food service from the Tillamook High School SAFE program and decorations from Eric Sappington’s

was presented with the Steve Simpson Memorial Coaching Excellence award for the commitment and success of the JBO baseball program.

Jenny Burt was awarded the YMCA Wall of Fame award for her decades of service to the YMCA. The Pastega Family received a standing ovation for their commitment

to the community and their $1Million donation to the YMCAs acquisition of Tillamook Lanes. The Y wants to thank everyone who purchased items, all the local business who donated items for auction, the sponsors, the staff and volunteers who made the night a huge success!

Tillamook City Council weighs road improvement fee

The Tillamook City Council began discussing the implementation of a road improvement fee that would be levied on residents through utility bills at their September 18 meeting.

The council also officially opened the application process to select a temporary replacement for Councilor Rebekah Hopkins, who was

absent and excused from the meeting.

A revenue task force consisting of Councilors Nick Torres and Doug Henson was formed at the request of Torres this spring. The councilors met with City Manager Nathan George and other city staff to discuss possible new revenue sources in the first week of September.

George said that many other Oregon cities, including Bay City, use

the road improvement fees to generate revenues for road maintenance, a pressing need in Tillamook currently funded through the wastewater fund.

George said that he favored a $10, monthly fee added to wastewater utility bills, which would bring in around $180,000 annually.

Henson said that the move would be unpopular among voters but that it was long overdue. Other councilors and Mayor Aaron

Burris concurred with this assessment, agreeing that Tillamook’s roads are in poor repair.

Councilor Garrett Noffsinger said that he would like to see an inventory of projects towards which the new funding would be directed before voting on the fee implementation.

George said that he would compile that list and begin working on a detailed plan for assessing the fee, with a special focus on how to

Tillamook School District hosts drug prevention specialist

WILL CHAPPELL

Headlight Editor

Tillamook School District welcomed George Brown, a prevention specialist from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, last week to educate students, parents and staff on current trends in youth substance use.

Brown’s visit was sponsored by Adventist Health and coincided with the administration of a survey to gauge substance use behaviors in Tillamook students from grades six to 12.

Community partners from the Tillamook Health Department, police department and a parent

attended an educational presentation on September 20, at Tillamook High School.

Brown, who has been in recovery for more than 30 years, travels around the world educating students, parents and teachers about the dangers of substance use and ways to create a climate of prevention.

Brown started by sharing data from surveys conducted by Monitoring the Future, which has studied youth substance use in the United States dating back to the 1960s. The data showed that the rates of teen alcohol and nicotine usage have been steadily declining for decades, while marijuana use has remained relatively stable

since the mid-1990s. In the most recent survey, only 13.4% of 10th grade students reported having had a drink in the previous 30 days.

Those data are encouraging to Brown, who said that it shows kids are not using substances nearly as much as many perceive. Brown stressed the importance of parental communication in preventing youth substance use and said that he fully endorsed the sentiment that parents are the best antidrug.

Brown also explained the risk factors for developing a substance use disorder, saying that starting at an early age was one of the top predictors, along with genetic predisposition and adverse

childhood experiences. Brown also discussed the thought processes that put teenagers at heightened risk to try substances. The surveys conducted by Hazelden Betty Ford when Brown visits schools show that while a vast majority of students don’t think that drinking is cool, a much higher percentage think that their peers think that it is and students overestimate the number who are drinking.

charge apartment complexes on a per unit basisß.

The council also formally opened the application process to temporarily fill Hopkins’s seat. Hopkins’s husband, Jason, attended the meeting and said that he would be willing to step into the role while his wife was incapacitated with illness.

Councilors thanked Hopkins for the offer but said that they wished to use a formal process to make the selection. The city is now

accepting letters of interest from interested citizens in the fifth council ward until the next council meeting. The appointee will only serve until Rebekah Hopkins is able to resume her duties.

George also told the council that the city is close to completing a comprehensive compensation review and will soon be adjusting salaries, which will allow him to better recruit and retain employees.

Fresh from our gardens…

Coupled with a lower perception of the risks of substances, this can lead students to drink because they believe that it will look cool to others, even if they don’t believe it is cool themselves.

Brown also spoke in

assemblies with students from grades six to 12 at assemblies on Thursday and Friday and staff will attend a training on October 12.

Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad targeted with break-in, thefts

Operators with the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad are asking for public help in solving a break-in and robberies that have occurred at the historic museum.

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad is an allvolunteer non-profit museum organization that conducts scenic rail travels along a portion of the north Oregon Coast. The museum is located at 306 American Avenue in Garibaldi.

The museum operators reported that someone had broken into the historic diesel engine and fired off an extinguisher inside while also opening and tampering with the electrical cabinets.

“This caused major delays in our day and could have been catastrophic if any damage had been done to the engine. That engine is over 70 years old, and is delicate despite its appearance,” the post states.

The museum operators also reported that 41 ties have been stolen from work sites along the rails, including

right outside the Old Mill Event Center at the Garibaldi site. The operators believe the ties may have been sold on Facebook. Security cameras were able to capture an image of the suspect.

“It breaks our hearts that people will just take things and leave us to fix the damage they have caused”

The Oregon Scenic Railway Facebook post states. “We are not a multi-million-dollar operation like some may believe, we are on a limited budget that relies on tourism, just like many others in this community. We love this community, and we have faith that people will do the right thing, but when this much damage has happened to us in such a short amount of time, we need to bring attention to it and reach out to our community for help and awareness.”

The Oregon Scenic Railroad is asking anyone who may have information about the damage or thefts, to contact the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office or the museum at info@ oregoncoastscenic.org.

project went out to bid in 2022. However, NNSLWC only received one bid, which came in over the project’s budget, leading the organization to hold off on the project and put it out for bid again earlier this year. This year, multiple contractors submitted bids for the project, and Complete Brush Cutting Services LLC of Alsea was selected to contract on the work. Due to price escalations since the grant award in 2021 though, funding would no longer be sufficient to complete work at the sites on Andy Creek.

Luckily, the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP) was identified as a partner and awarded NNSLWC a grant of $50,000 to allow the project to include all the sites. Funds for the TEP grant came from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill passed in 2021, which the estuaries partnership has been working to direct to projects across the county needing supplemental funds for completion after cost increases.

In addition to the funding partnerships with OWEB and TEP, the project received support from local landowners on the creeks, including Stimson Lumber, the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Forest

to complete the work in the reaches on their property.

Stimson did the same and donated the timber for the projects on its land, while the Siletz and USFS donated the wood for the other sites, with the timber donated worth over $47,000.

“We really value those kinds of donations and matches from our partners,” Shively said.

Work on the project began in late August and was completed by the third week of September and consisted of placing the logs in streams to increase fish habitat functions. Coastway Construction out of Pacific City handled the log hauling, while an excavator operator expertly placed them in creeks, doing his best to ensure they were seated on the banks to prevent washaways. On a site visit as the project’s completion approached, Shively explained that the unique hydrology and topography was considered when selecting the sites and placing the logs.

The primary goal of the placements is to increase pool habitats in the creeks, which serve as shelter for coho and other fish during high winter flows, offer cooler areas during warm summer months and promote gravel retention, critical in

Tillamook avenges championship game loss with big win at Estacada

Ryan Wilks hauls in a long pass from Hoskins in the first corner, setting the Mooks up for their first touchdown.

WILL CHAPPELL Headlight Editor

The Tillamook Cheesemakers football team is heading into Cowapa league play with a 3-1 record, after beating the Estacada Rangers 48-22 in a week four road game.

The rematch of last year’s 4A state championship game championship game started off close, before the Cheesemakers came up with a string of huge, offensive plays to run away from the Rangers.

“I thought we did a really good job of battling through some early struggles,” Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson said. “I know our guys really wanted to play well in this game and we were probably a little overamped early.”

The Mooks’ huge offensive night was led by quarterback Tanner Hoskins who passed for 201 yards and a touchdown and did his best work on the ground, rushing for 167 yards and three touchdowns.

“I thought that was the best game he’s played for the Mooks,” Johnson said. “He led us through some early miscues and really did a good job managing the game plan this week.”

Tillamook received the opening kick and started working from their own 29-yard line. Andrew White rushed for 16 yards on the first play of the game before a false start penalty stalled the drive and forced the Mooks to punt.

Estacada’s offense came out strong, marching down the field on the ground, before converting on a rushing touchdown from 14 yards out on a fourth down play. The Rangers successfully went for the two-point conversion and took an 8-0 lead with just under half the first quarter remaining.

Tillamook’s offense responded on the next drive.

After starting on their own 26 and picking up a quick first down, Hoskins uncorked a beautiful pass to Ryan Wilks that put the Cheesemakers on

the Rangers’ nine. A few plays later, running back Andrew White spotted a hole and rushed into the endzone from 11 yards out. Hoskins’s extra point cut the Estacada lead to 8-7 with just over four minutes to go in the quarter.

The Rangers answered back with another methodical drive on the ground, scoring on a goal line rush shortly into the second quarter and converting another two-point attempt to go up 16-7.

Tillamook took over near midfield after an unnecessary roughness penalty on Estacada on the kick return. An Eligio Maciel reception on a fourth down play just inside Ranger territory pushed the Mooks into the redzone and a bully ball Seth Wehinger rush gave Tillamook first and goal from the seven.

Hoskins kept the ball for his first rushing touchdown of the night on the next play and kicked the point after, bringing the score to 16-14.

At that point, the Cheesemaker defense locked in. Af-

ter a blindside block on the kick return put the Rangers inside their own 20 to start, the Mooks held Estacada to a three and out.

Tillamook started the next drive in Estacada territory and White took a pass in the flat for 15 yards to get the drive going. Hoskins then capitalized on a slow-moving Ranger sub coming in from the sideline with a quick snap and handed the ball off to White who found a huge lane on the left side for a 29-yard touchdown scamper.

With the successful PAT, the Mooks took a 21-16 lead with six to go in the half.

The Rangers offense again met a brick wall on the next drive and was held to a three and out.

Moments later, with the Cheesemakers facing a third and 20 from Estacada’s 48-yard line, Hoskins made a huge play on a designed quarterback keeper, juking out one Ranger before taking it to the house. The Mooks led 28-16 with two and a half minutes remaining in the half and another strong stand from the defense at midfield sent the game to the half with that score. As the Rangers’ offense took over the ball to start the second half, it became clear that they were well and truly flummoxed by Tillamook’s defense. The outside rushes and sweep plays that had worked on their first drives of the evening were now going nowhere and they were held to another three and out and forced to punt.

“The initial looks we wanted to show them weren’t working and we got into different fronts as needed and I thought that was a great adjustment by our players and coaches,” Johnson said.

Johnson explained that Wehinger had responded to an adjustment to his role after the first few drives by stepping up with “one of the best individual performances of the year on defense.”

Estacada was given a great opportunity to shift the momentum when Griffyn Boomer fumbled the punt return and it was recovered by the Rangers. But after picking up a first down, two holding penalties put them behind the chains, forcing another punt that pinned Tillamook at its own 15-yard line.

But Boomer bounced back from the fumble in a huge way, taking a short, second down pass and outrunning the entire Estacada defense for an 83-yard touchdown. Just under six minutes into the second half, the Mooks held a 35-16 lead.

With the game slipping out of their grasp, the Rangers’ offense mounted its first sustained drive since early in the second quarter, marching from their own 40 to the redzone. But after making it inside the 20, the Cheesemakers’ defense refocused and forced a turnover on downs by stuffing a fourth and three rush from the 11yard line.

The Mooks were looking at a second and 13 from the Estacada 7 as the fourth quarter began, when Hoskins

came up with the biggest play of the night. On another quarterback keeper, the senior found a huge hole and outran the Rangers’ defense for a 93-yard touchdown. The point after attempt sailed wide, but with 11:46 to play, the Cheesemakers had a definitive, 41-16 lead.

“We put a lot on his (Hoskins’s) plate to call the right checks and be dynamic both in the run and the pass game and he was all of that tonight,” Johnson said. “Really a great performance by him and most importantly it just allows all his teammates to be the best version of themselves too.”

Estacada’s offense finally found a groove again, converting on a fourth and goal from the one-and-a-half-yard line, and after a missed twopoint conversion attempt, the score stood at 41-22 with just under six to go.

The Rangers attempted an onside kick, which Tillamook recovered, once again setting them up near midfield. The Mooks took a slow and steady ground approach and iced the game with a Wehinger touchdown rush from nine yards out with under two minutes left to play.

Estacada drove to Tillamook’s 14-yard line as time expired, with the final score 48-22.

This week, the Mooks kick off the defense of their 2022 Cowapa League Championship with a trip to Broadway Field in Seaside to face off against the 2-2 Seagulls.

Pirates almost get first win

The Neah-Kah-Nie High Pirates came ever so close to getting a win in the opening matchup of their seven-game OSAA Class 2A football Special District 1 schedule.

The Pirates (0-1 SD1, 0-3 overall), guided by first-year Coach Alejandro Quintana-Rios, played well against the Vernonia/Jewell High Loggers (1-0 SD1, 1-2 overall), but they just fell a little short in a 19-14 loss Sept. 15 at Vernonia High School.

“It was a tough loss, because we definitely had our chances to win, but we just made too many mistakes,” said Quintana-Rios. defense wasn’t too bad. We only allowed them (Loggers) a passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown. I kind of expect that we’ll give up some points on defense, which is going to happen. It’s just problems on offense as we’ll get something going and then we’ll have mistakes, such as bad snaps. The boys battled hard though and they helped provide us with a chance to possibly win at the end.”

The Pirates had an impressive first offensive

series as they moved down field deep into the Loggers territory to the red zone and had a chance to get the first score of the game. The Pirates fumbled a snap though and the miscue was recovered by the Loggers, who returned it for a touchdown and led 6-0 early in the game. A key Pirates defensive play occurred in the second half when sophomore

Pirates ground game as he had 13 carries for 97 yards rushing and a touchdown. Senior Anthony Allen had a total of 78 yards combined receiving (one catch) and rushing yards (five carries, 38 yards). Senior John Burch had three catches for 32 yards receiving.

The Pirates will play their next game Friday at 7 p.m. versus the Gaston

Nestucca football wins two straight at home

For The Headlight Herald

Home field advantage has certainly proven to be a huge benefit for the Nestucca High Bobcats. Playing their second consecutive home game, the No. 20-ranked Bobcats notched their second straight win in Special District 1 Class 2A football with a 44-0 win over the Vernonia/Jewell High Loggers (1-1 SD1, 1-3 overall) September 21 at Nestucca High School.

The Bobcats (2-0 SD1, 2-2 overall), guided by Coach Jeff Schiewe, played their best game of the season as they took control early with a 29-0 first quarter lead and dominated the one-sided matchup from start-to-finish while recording a season high point total. The Bobcats are currently tied for first place in the eight-team league standings with the Knappa High Loggers (2-0 SD1, 2-1 overall).

“The kids just had a completely outstanding performance both offensive and defensively,” said Schiewe. “We were able to pass well and run very well too. In the next three weeks we’ll face tough opponents though and there will be a lot on the line, so we’ll see what happens. We’ll enjoy being in first place while we can and we’ll try to hold on to it.”

Junior quarterback Nolen Hurlimann scored three touchdowns, including two passing and one rushing to help lead the Bobcats to the victory. Hurlimann threw touchdown passes to Draven Marsh and Eli Love and he scored on a 12-yard first quarter TD run, putting Nestucca up 20-0 with 7:03 left in the first quarter.

“Nolen had a great game, he ran well and he completed some good passes on short plays and he had a couple of long pass completions too,” said Schiewe. “He was able to spread the ball around well and we had multiple receivers getting receptions. It was really nice because everyone got playing time and they all helped contribute

to the win. They were all well focused and they executed everything very well, so I feel very proud of everyone on our team.”

The Bobcats had three defensive scores, including a blocked Vernonia punt by Love that he returned for first quarter touchdown. Love also scored a safety when he tackled Vernonia sophomore quarterback Zach Franco in the end zone, lifting the Bobcats in front 22-0. Senior cornerback Zac Collins scored after intercepting a Franco pass and returning it for a second quarter touchdown to help the Bobcats build a 44-0 halftime margin. Sophomore defensive end Jaxon Jensen had two fumble recoveries, which gives him a total of nine this season. It was a scoreless second half, which included a running clock as specified by OSAA rules for one-sided contests.

The Bobcats will be seeking to get their third straight victory in their next contest Friday at 7 p.m. versus the No. 18-ranked Loggers at Knappa High School.

The Bobcats opened their seven-game SD1 schedule with a 26-20 home win over the Corbett High Cardinals (1-2 SD1, 1-3 overall) Sept. 15.

“We had a really good first half and we kind of jumped on them (Cardinals) with a strong passing attack,” said Schiewe. “In the second half we had a lot of penalties and there were a lot of negative things that happened, but there were a lot of positive things too.”

The Bobcats scored on their opening possession on a 22-yard touchdown run by Marsh. Hurlimann tossed a two-point conversion pass to junior Zak Chatelain, lifting Nestucca in front 8-0 early in the first quarter. Marsh and senior running back Bryson Morgan combined to help lead a solid ground game to spearhead the Bobcats offense.

The Bobcats then capitalized on a Corbett turnover to extend their lead. A Cardinal fumble

High Greyhounds (1-0 SD1, 1-2 overall) at Gaston High School. They’ll be shorthanded though as Allen suffered an injury versus the Loggers and he’ll be unable to play. Sophomore Dillion Bennett will replace Allen as the Pirates starting running back. The Greyhounds won their league opener at home September 15 54-20 over the Clatskanie High Tigers (0-1

SD1, 0-3 overall).

“We’ll be without Anthony, but I feel like going forward we’ll have a chance to win every game,” said Quintana-Rios. “On defense, we just have to make sure that we shut down their quarterback runs and their outside runs. We played them (Greyhounds) in jamboree August 25 and our kids did a pretty good job against them.

Our defense held them out of the end zone. I hope that since we saw them earlier, it will help provide our team with some confidence. I feel like we can play well against any team in our league. We’ve just had too many slow starting games and we’ve had too many mistakes. Hopefully, since it’s our fourth game, we’ll work some things out now.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A community treasure

When we moved to North County 25 years ago, one of our first connections to the community was North County Recreation District. We’ve watched our recreation center develop and flourish into a hub of activity, a community treasure. From the Youth

Center to exercise classes in the Fitness Center and Aquatics, to the “Learn to Swim” program, to senior activities, to productions in the Performing Arts Center, NCRD offers something for everyone who lives and visits North County. Every five years we, as a community, get to renew our support for NCRD, by voting “Yes for NCRD” on the November ballot. Amaz-

ingly, the tax rate has not increased in 15 years, since the first tax levy in 2008! We homeowners will not be paying anything more; we will simply be saying “YES” to a continuation of the programs offered by and the operational costs of North County Recreation District.

Please join us in voting “Yes for NCRD.”

Iwill turn eighty next month, and I reflect on my life. After I got out of the Marines in 1965, I became a Portland police officer. I wanted an interesting night job so I could attend Portland State University classes during the day.

I learned a lot about myself and the world in those few years as a cop, and have valued that experience more than any other during my young adulthood. I worked out of the old Central Precinct building at Second and Oak, the 3 to 11 p.m. shift. I drove a patrol car in Portland’s downtown each evening as day people left the city and night people came out on the streets. When one is young and idealistic and working on the street as a police officer, it can be difficult to accept a

What is the purpose of tax funded schools? According to Nestucca Valley School District’s website statement it is, “Inspiring individual excellence, diligence, self-awareness and lifelong learning.” On September 11th and 12th that was interpreted to mean that the district close both of its schools to facilitate Cycle Oregon to occupy the entire K8 campus.

Most people in our area appreciate events to showcase our beautiful, scenic coast and forested hills, and possible tourist dollars. Many tax payers would appreciate the school collecting $25,000 to host such an event, with opportunities for school clubs to earn large funds through student volunteerism. There are also many who appreciated the free concert and food offered to the community on both evenings. However, to allow this

waiting for a morning train. Sometimes they became targets for jack-rollers or other night creepers, so I showed the blue flag there a couple of times each night. After my walk around the big station’s waiting area, I went to use the men’s room. As I finished at the urinal, I heard a couple of quiet movements behind me in one of the closed stalls, then a whimper. I turned around. Beneath the stall’s closed door, I saw a man’s lower legs and shod feet; his pants were dropped around his ankles. He whimpered again, and I saw smears of blood on his lower legs and around his shoes on the pale tiles. I tapped on the locked stall and said, “I’m a police officer. Open the door, sir.”

Silence for a second, then sounds of someone painfully turning around behind the door. Out of caution, I stepped back and to the side, resting my hand on the butt of my revolver. The man said, “A minute, sir. Just a minute.”

“Just get the door open.” He finally did so, very slowly because he had to maneuver himself around it. He had not been sitting on the toilet because he could not sit. An elderly black man, he bled from several knife wounds in his buttocks. He had angered somebody on the street, or was just frail and elderly enough for some vicious bastard to have the fun of inflicting long-lasting pain on him: seven knife slashes distributed around his buttocks. He told me he was OK and did not need anything; he would be fine. He would not tell me who did this to him, obviously fearful of retribution. And where would we cops be when he needed us in that moment?

For a long time to come, this old gentleman would not be able to sit down without reopening those deep wounds and risking reinfection. He would always remember the pain, his attacker, and his own inability to protect himself. No doctor would be able to provide him with a

event to take place on the second week of school, canceling classes at both the K8 and the high school (including sports practices and games) is another issue.

As a teacher, I would have been very frustrated to have spent the first week of school teaching classroom procedures only have a four-day weekend the next week. This is not to mention the disruption to parent work schedules. In the grand scheme of a student’s 13-years in government schools, two days does not seem like it will make a significant impact. However, Nestucca was closed down for COVID for one full year.

It is currently rated by Public School Review as having a math proficiency of less than 20% and reading proficiency of 49%. Given this dismal performance it seems the school should expend every resource to improve these

prescription to find peace of mind.

Feeling murderous in my heart, I went to my car and called for an ambulance, then came back and waited with him until they took him up to County Hospital. You see the same acts of sudden rage, or their aftermath and the resulting damage or death. You see pointless acts of cruelty that you know were spawned by brains not developed much more fully than those of lizards. And you see these incidents over and over. You start to think people should be more imaginative about how they inflict pain and destroy each other. It reminds you that, in the aggregate, our species is not nearly as special as many of us like to think.

Given all that, if you are lucky, you do not become calloused or develop a deep cynicism, but instead a sense of the tragic nature of humanity: a great intelligence and kindness, and immense, blind cruelty. Along with the cruelty, you also witness

scores. This is not to mention that there were approximately 1300 cyclists camped on school grounds and neighboring properties, two nights of noise disruption in surrounding communities, traffic impediments, cyclist/auto collisions, alcohol on school grounds from the neighboring beer garden and students returning to school Wednesday before the campus was completely vacated or clean. The tax payers and parents of the Nestucca Valley School District should demand that the school only allow outside vendors to rent their campuses when school is not normally in session, without intoxicating substances. As for student achievement and safety, I highly recommend homeschooling.

great acts of selfless courage, not only by cops, but by members of the public, too.

Much social media presents distortions of reality. Many self-righteous people hope to impress their friends with video footage of a cop’s serious misbehavior. Today, it is hard to recruit new cops because a few are idiots and are videoed abusing their power or inflicting unwarranted violence on a member of the public. The resulting social media-born anger and prejudice against cops far outstrips any justification for it, given the number of stupid, cruel cops in comparison to the number of good law enforcement officers. I worked with many good ones long ago, and only a few of the other kind.

Lights out. Well, they were out for only two hours. But it was unexpected, on a quiet September 13 evening with no wind to speak of. Capt. Pete called the PUD the next morning to find out just what had caused the outage, but no specifics were available. The good news is that when there is an equipment failure or tree across the power line, power is cut immediately. This new protocol reduces the risk of wildfires. Thanks for getting us back in business so quickly, PUD.

The power outage went beyond a loss of electricity for a few Cape Meares homes. Houses high on the hill also lost water. This is because their water supply relies on a water pump on 5th Street. The pump automatically switches to a back-up generator when a power outage occurs, but for some reason it needed a manual toggle to resume operation. Merrie and Jon Ziady, who reported the water issue, said that Oceanside Water District was extremely responsive and had folks out within a half hour to fix the problem. Hats off to the water folks, as well.

A few years back, there was an elderly woman sitting

in a boat tied to the dock at the Memaloose boat launch, waiting for her son to park the truck and come back to take her out fishing. I struck up a conversation with her and found out she was from Bay City and loved fishing. Her eyes lit up as she described her favorite fishing memory: The time she and her son had a double. That’s each having a fish on at the same time. What excitement—and chaos.

There was a double in the Memaloose pool just this month. A favorite couple of ours was fishing when salmon hit each of their lines. Unfortunately, his broke off early, but she brought hers to the boat. It was a wild Chinook that she decided not to keep, as she had already tagged one of her allotted two for the season. Still, a thrilling morning—the first

double they had ever had in decades of fishing together. I found out some more information about the current work on Bayocean Road. Paving had been delayed for several years because the Road Dept. wasn’t sure how many construction trucks would travel on Bayocean Road during the duration of the Cape Meares Loop Road project. The current work is basically delayed maintenance. There will be dump trucks on Bayocean Road soon, perhaps as many as 25 a day, bringing asphalt to pave the Loop Road.

After the Loop Road reopens in November, traffic will achieve a new normal. We are looking forward to having another ingress/egress for our community. Did you read about the Oregon beachcomber who used his metal detector to find an Idaho woman’s diamond rings lost near Proposal Rock? Metal detectors can be great fun. A friend of ours discovered some valuable old silver coins using his on a beach in Washington. Our son usually found rusty nails and bottlecaps with his metal detector, but he still had a good time. You might add one to your beach cabin’s sports equipment.

Hats off to organizers, vendors and the weekly throng of shoppers who made South Tillamook County’s Farmer’s Markets a success this season.

When Mrs. Mayor and I would be on road trips and it was Friday night, I’d signal my hunger by playing “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band when we were approaching a Burger King – where they serve chicken fries.

Luckily, by the time you read this, Garibaldi Chevron Food & Deli will be serving Cooper’s Express “Crazy Good Fried Chicken.” They posted the Facebook pictures of the sign last Wednesday as part of a daily countdown to good news.

The second is that there are candidates (plural) for the full-time City Manager position. At the time of this writing, four candidates have been scheduled for interviews and they started, typically on Zoom, last Friday. Provided my wife’s COVID-inspired migraine can be tempered enough for her to see the screen, these first round of online interviews will go as planned. (Almost amazing what happens when litigation is subdued and feuds are shoved to the background).

The third is that the municipal accounting firm Koontz, Blasquez & Associates, commonly known as “Mid Valley,” is examining the city’s finances and when complete will provide an official work quote. For more information on this firm, please visit midvalleycpa.com And a special thank you for all those who have seemingly come out of the woodwork and gone out of their way to support my wife during these transitional times. It’s been amazing to see where the support has come from. As Van the man sang, “And it seems like and it feels like / And it seems like, yes it feels like / A brand new day / A brand new day / Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

do with it?”

Last week, Nan Devlin of the Tillamook County Visitors Association (TCVA) introduced the Community and Destination Management Planning process for Rockaway Beach. Used in other coastal communities for the past few years, this process is designed to support tourism, local businesses and cities that rely on it.

27 Rockaway Beach residents, including a number of key players in city government, planning and the Chamber of Commerce, engaged with Devlin and asked questions to better understand how this process can help us develop and fund projects for the upcoming year.

One key point: all projects identified and selected as the outcome of this planning process will be funded by the transient lodging tax (TLT), sometimes called transient rental tax (TRT) or room tax.

How much is available for these projects? City Manager Luke Shepard answered, “Between $1.5 and $2 million per year. It’s gone up annually over the last five years.”

As reported here in June, Rockaway Beach has 191 rooms available for shortterm rental, which represents roughly 25% of the total available lodging in Tillamook County. This, Devlin said, demonstrates the advantages of a county-wide destination management program that could benefit the region, with possibilities for working with neighboring cities. “Having community voices brings people together.”

Devlin then laid out how the next three meetings will go, following the plan already used by Bay City, Manzanita, Arch Cape and Pacific City. The first workshop, scheduled for October 2, will lay the groundwork: “What do we value about living here? This could be what made you move here, what makes you stay here, what we have in common. What keeps you here?”

These questions help identify sustainable tourism, as defined by the United Nations World Tourism Association. Sustainable tourism addresses three questions: Does this serve the community as well as visitors? Does this respect the environment and the culture? And does this create year-round economic vitality?

“Think of it as people, places and profit,” Devlin said. Next, this first meeting

sfisher71@yahoo.com

looks for commonalities, not only within the city participants but throughout the county. For other cities, these include outdoor recreational opportunities, improved methods for managing trash and overall livability.

A comment from one of the participants stood out: “Everyone wants a Rockaway Roastery,” a place that serves as the community’s “living room” for residents and visitors alike.

Another need: transportation. Councilor Kristine Hayes brought up the Tillamook Trolley, for such things as the 4th of July parade and the Kite Festival. “Alternative transport is always a priority.”

“We’ve had pilot programs three times in the last year,” Devlin responded. “All cities want transport, and inter-city too. We’ve got to figure out how that works.”

The result of the first meeting will be several initiatives that address our vision for the city. “This is our dream list,” Devlin explained. “If you could write a check today, what would you

Workshop 2, scheduled for Monday, October 23, will be devoted to identifying categories and devoting further time to sort, develop, and expand on them. This workshop will review, discuss, and propose projects and activities for each of the initiatives from workshop 1.

Finally, on Monday, November 13, the the final workshop will “take a deeper dive,” said Devlin, “into what each project is, why we want it, who will lead it, how it will be done and where the money will come from.”

In the final meeting, participants will vote on and rank the projects. “We recommend that you pick three things and do them right away,” Devlin said. Councilor Kristine Hayes stressed the importance of having a city-wide survey available so that everyone in Rockaway, full-time residents and vacation-home owners alike, will have the opportunity to participate.

As the meeting closed, discussion shifted to how to bring Rockaway residents into the process. In addition to this column and social media, you can sign up for city emails by going to the website and signing up for the city email list.

Furthermore, these workshops will be available live on Zoom and recorded on the city’s Web site, http://corb.us. City Manager Shepard will be setting up a portal there for those who want to follow.

Another major challenge is the compensation being offered to deputies, which Brown said is among the

lowest of comparable counties in Oregon. He also said that officers at the Oregon State Police had a starting wage $30,000 higher than his deputies and that in Washington County, deputies earn more to start than do Tillamook’s highest paid officers.

lows. Throughout all that life had dealt her, she was unwavering in her trust in Jesus Christ to guide her through until the day she would hear the words “Well done, faithful servant”.

Matthew Alan Copple age 47, lost his 28-month battle with cancer, on Friday September 15, 2023, surrounded in love with family, at the Veterans Hospice Center in Vancouver, WA.

Matt came into our life as a gift through adoption at 13 days old. In 1993 Matthew graduated from Hillsboro High School. Throughout his elementary and high school years he was active in sports, scouting and earned the rank of Eagle Scout at age 17.

Matt loved to sing and was involved in school choirs including Vocal Point and Encore at Hillsboro High School. He was a member of the Beaverton Bicycle Club, active in road cycling and racing. He loved being outdoors and cherished watching the seasons change. Camping, hiking, hunting and fishing were his big interests with Tillamook Bay and Cache Mountain in central Oregon always holding a special place in Matt’s heart. Matt was a “continual learner”. He kept abreast of current events and world politics, while enjoying his studies of world history and the Bible.

He furthered his education at Portland Community College while working as a Security Officer at various corporations in the Portland Metro area.

Upon his honorable discharge and return to the states, he pursed law enforcement and graduated from the Police Academy in Salem, Oregon. He also completed additional coursework and started his own business as a Private Investigator. He moved to Hermiston, worked for 10 years as a Deputy Sheriff for the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office and then moved to Silver City, New Mexico working for Lincoln County Detention Center.

In 2018 he moved back to Oregon, living and working in Portland. He was diagnosed May 2021, with Stage 4 cancer.

Bette managed a household of 8 kids, which was no small task. She was well known for her unwavering pursuit of a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. She ensured that all her children were raised with an intimate knowledge of what God teaches in His Word about our purpose in life during our brief time on earth. Her desire more than anything was to leave behind a firm legacy of living a life well lived by following the teachings of, and embracing the promises given, in God’s Word. Hers’ was a life very well lived, but not without mountain highs and valley

Her faith was the cornerstone of her life. Bette was an active member of the Garibaldi Church of Christ during the years of raising her family and from 2006 on, she was a faithful member of First Christian Church of Tillamook, where she found solace, community, and purpose.

A reception will follow immediately after the Celebration of Life service in the First Christian Church Fellowship Hall.

“I love you in a place where there’s no space and time.

I love you for my life ‘‘cause you’re a friend of mine.

And when my life is over,… remember when we were together.

We were alone, and I was singing my song for you.”

Leon Russell

Those who met you might at first recall your eyes, blue as the color of a summer sky; or perhaps your more than slightly acerbic sense of humor.

Those who knew you better would remember your love of the outdoors, kayaking on the river, your readiness to lend a hand if someone asked for help, and how close you were with your dogs – Blue, Harley, and Henry. Perhaps you had too much cynicism,

they might say, but a very good heart… As for me, what comes to mind when I think of you are our walks along the warm beaches in Mexico, building our house together, drinking beer with friends, fighting like cats and dogs over things that seem so trivial now, and talking about life until the wee hours of the morning. I remember how you voraciously devoured books and helped me plant flowers; how proud you were of my successes, and how you helped me overcome my failures. Most of all, my heart will forever hold the memory of your never-ending devotion, through thick and thin over all of these years, two-thirds of my life. In a heartbeat you flew from our lives - those of us left behind: Your nephew Eric, your exwife and mother-in-law, tu concuño y la familia extendida, and other dear friends, who held you in their hearts. The pain you’ve endured these last months is over, and for that I am grateful, but we were not ready for you to go... I was not ready for you to go. You may have been my ex-husband, but you were never my ex-friend. I love you. I will miss you. I hope to see you again one day...in the stardust. Donut

A Celebration of Life will be held by the family at a later date.

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

costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off.

Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION, the undersigned trustee will on 12/6/2023 at the hour of 9:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Front Entrance to the Tillamook County Courthouse, located at 201 Laurel Avenue, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 County of TILLAMOOK, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date
