Franz Bakery outlet closing

RUIN

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

TILLAMOOK – The Franz Bakery outlet store on Third Street is closing. Its last day of operation will be Saturday, Feb. 9. “They walked in yesterday (Jan. 8) and told us,� store manager Terri Ann Staver said. “They said sales were down and the store wasn’t making money.� The decision had been made in Portland, where the corporate offices of United States Bakery (the official name of Franz Bakery) are located. “The sales of the store just weren’t meeting expenses,�

United States Bakery’s Steve Bradbury advised from Portland. “It’s been a process over the past two to three years,� he said. “It was just time for us to close the doors.� Bradbury is general manager for the Oregon division of the company.

County closes Cape Meares Loop due to slide

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

T

he Cape Meares Loop Road is sliding – again. And Tillamook County is going to close part of it through the winter.

Much of the hillside between the Memaloose turnaround and the Cape Meares lighthouse has been moving for decades, county public works director Liane Welch said, but lately the rate of movement has become “dramatic.� Worst of the slippage has been along a new stretch of the road Tillamook County built just four years ago, bypassing a section of Cape Meares Loop Road that was dramatically sliding back then.

County public works has been spending two to three days a week fixing the road to keep it open, Welch said. “I’m standing on this hill tearing up hundred-dollar bills,� she said.

Welch came to the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners Wednesday morning, Jan. 9, to ask for a closure of the slipping part of the road. “This is not a small slide,� Welch told commissioners. “This thing is large. And it’s heavily forested up there.�

The Oceanside Water District is seeing movement around their water tank, located higher up the hill, she said.

Welch asked for the road to be closed until spring; public works would monitor the slippage through the winter. “My recommendation is we close it prior to this weekend,� Welch said. “The rain has just added to the slippage.� Commissioners Mark Labhart and Bill Baertlein agreed (commissioner Tim Josi was out of town), authorizing Welch to close the road Friday. “We have done this before,� Labhart noted. At the Highway 131 end, Cape Meares Loop Road would be closed just uphill from several Stimson forest roads, allowing vehicles to turn around at those intersections; signs at the Memaloose turnaround at the bottom of the hill would warn large vehicles like RVs to turn around there. On the

Vol. 124, No. 3 75 cents

uphill side, the road from Oceanside would be closed at the Cape Meares Lighthouse parking lot, and vehicles (including large ones) would turn around there. “Netarts, Oceanside and the state park will all be open,� Labhart said. Trucks hauling gravel for S-C Paving from the “Lighthouse Pit� on Cape Meares Rd. would have to go through Oceanside, instead of driving Cape Meares Rd. to Highway 131. Labhart noted the closure isolates Cape Meares from emergency services in Tillamook, but “we have an agreement with Stimson (Lumber) for use of forest roads over Cape Meares� for emergency vehicle access, he said.

Welch told commissioners she would get announcements of the closure in the Headlight Herald and on radio, prepare and post signs, organize a public meeting, and personally contact community leaders in Netarts, Oceanside and Cape Meares to spread the word. (The public meeting will be in Tillamook, Thursday Jan. 17 at 6 p.m. at the main county library.) Based on the county’s experience last time, “people still have trouble understanding what ‘Road Closed’ means,� she said.

(County emergency manager Gordon McCraw advised Jan. 10 that the County Surveyor will be monitoring the movement. “An Oregon Department of Forestry geologist has made observations of the area to help them assess the situation,� McCraw said.)

Labhart suggested a declaration of emergency might help release state and Federal money to help. “I’ve already called OEM (the state Office of Emergency Management),� county emergency manager Gordon McCraw told commissioners. The declaration would free up funds from the state Department of Transportation (ODOT), he suggested.

The commissioners accordingly also declared the situation to be an emergency. “We’ll sign the declaration of emergency as soon as it’s prepared,� Labhart said.

Ken Fallon

Ken Fallon named operator of the year Ken Fallon Logging was announced today as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Northwest Regional Operator of the Year.

Ken Fallon, a Tillamook-based logger since 1968, was honored for work on the Jordan Bound timber sale in the Tillamook State Forest - a harvest site with steep terrain and limited road access. “Steep� meant some log trucks and equipment operating at grades between 20 percent and 35 percent, including instances where a heavy-lift bulldozer pulled fully loaded log trucks up the hill for additional support. Harvesting trees on ridges also meant using cable harvest systems that extended over a mile long to keep trees suspended above the ground, a measure that helps protect soil. “Ken Fallon’s crews always seem to get our most difficult jobs,� said Joe Travers, timber sale administrator with the ODF Tillamook District. “The Jordan Bound units have probably been among the toughest logging we’ve had on our district in a long time.�

Fallon Logging employs more than 100 people. Fallon himself is known for being involved in community events around Tillamook, and was also honored as Forest Practices Operator of the Year in 2004.

The state Board of Forestry established the Forest Practices Operator of the Year and Merit Awards program honors individuals and businesses that consistently meet or exceed the natural resource protection standards set by the Oregon Forest Practices Act. The Act requires postharvest reforestation, streamside buffers, road-building and maintenance standards, and other measures to protect natural resources during forest operations.

The winners will be recognized during the statewide meeting of Associated Oregon Loggers in Eugene on Jan. 10, during the Oregon Logging Conference in February, and at the Board’s March 6 meeting in Salem.

Lawn care business growing strong with deep roots

BY JOSIAH DARR sports@orcoastnews.com

Despite the tough economy and notoriously lean winter months for Oregon coast businesses, one local businessman has managed not only to weather the storm, but to grow his business with hard work and good service. North Coast Lawn owner, Terry Phillips, has done just that, and now he is expanding.

Phillips inadvertently started North Coast Lawn fourteen years ago when he was power washing for a lady in Tillamook. “North Coast Lawn was kind of a business that materialized out of nothing,� Phillips said. “The lady I was power washing for at the time was really upset because another place mowed the lawn across the street, and when she approached them about doing hers, they said they weren’t tak-

ing new customers. I told her I liked mowing my own lawn and I’d be happy to mow hers. That’s how it happened.�

Strictly through word of mouth, the business continued to grow. “Then the neighbor and the lady across the street asked me to mow their lawns and then I was very fortunate to land some good commercial accounts,� Phillips explained. “That was when it kinda started taking off.�

Nowadays, North Coast Lawn is servicing accounts all over Tillamook county and has employed a much larger staff to keep up with the demand. “We’ve added employees to the company and it’s materialized into something that keeps 15 employees occupied nine months out of the year,�

Phillips said.

Goodwill grand opening Jan. 17 at 7 a.m.

BY JOSIAH DARR sports@orcoastnews.com

In a depressed economy where families are looking to save money and record number of people are out of work, Tillamook is blessed with a new business opening that will provide assistance for both.

Tillamook Goodwill's Grand Opening ceremony will take place at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17 and promises to be a huge event.

“I'm really looking forward to finally getting the store open,” said Goodwill senior district manager Phil Paradis.

“Grand Openings are always a blast because there are so many people. It's so busy and there's so many people excited, it's fun.”

People will not only attend the Grand Opening to witness the ceremony, but according to the Tillamook Goodwill store manager Cameron Cusick, there will be plenty of people there to shop.

“At other similar Grand Openings, we've had huge lines of people waiting to get in,” Cusick said.

According to Cusick, the Tillamook store will be a larger sized store.

“Smaller than the Warrenton store, but larger than Lincoln City,” Cusick explained.

The store will be loaded with items that have been collected and brought to Tillamook from various other stores to fill the shelves for the opening. Everything from clothes to shoes to microwaves to blenders and beyond will be stocked and priced by Goodwill's standard pricing system,

Cusick explained. “It's determined corporately by Goodwill. We have an Operations Department that has set a standard price guide based on branding. If you brought in a Nike t-shirt, we can look it up in a book and we know what the price is going to be. It's universal across the stores.

“If you go into the Goodwill in Warrenton, you'll find a lot of t-shirts that are $4.99. If you went into the Lincoln City store, those t-shirts will still be $4.99. There has been speculation in the past that the pricing has been very ambiguous and it's not. There's no guess work.”

The store promises to have a plethora of used items for sale at low prices, but it will have new items purchased from a manufacturer like other stores as well.

To keep the quality of the items donated up to Goodwill's standards, they have a set guideline as to what they can and can't accept as donations and how to classify the things that are accepted at the Tillamook store.

“Items that are brought in to the Tillamook store and we deem ‘sellable’ are processed and priced on site and put out on the floor and given a chance to sell,” Cusick said. “If it doesn't sell, then it's sent out to other stores to give it another shot to sell. This comes into play more often with specialty items that would be more specific to a certain taste or location.

“When you're dealing with used goods, obviously quality plays a role. We don't want to put things on the floor that are

stained or dirty or have holes, and we don't have the facility to wash apparel here, so we take the best of the best. The textiles we can't sell get baled and they are sold to a third party vendor. That party can take them where ever, but they often go overseas. The important part is they don't to to a landfill.”

Goodwill is a nonprofit organization that goes far beyond the standard idea of a retail store. The corporation also offers Job Connection services to people who have “barriers to employment.”

“Barriers to employment can mean anything,” Cusick said. “A mental disability, an emotional disability or someone who's been out of the workforce for 20 or 30 years like maybe a stay-at-home mom that wants to get back in the workforce would be examples. ‘Barriers to employment’ is very broad term.

“Job Connection service is funded solely through the store. Ninety-four cents of every dollar the store takes in goes to Job Connection service. That mission is to help people find jobs or get jobs here. We do resume training and network within the community to find businesses that are hiring. Basically a lot like what WorkSource Oregon does and it's a free service to the community.”

The Job Connection Service is certainly something locals might be interested in utilizing, but there is a large group of people in Tillamook County who've already taken advantage of an employment opportunity.

“Of the 32 employees hired to staff the new store, 27 of are from Tillamook,” Cusick said.

“The other five are Goodwill employees from other stores, I believe are all moving to Tillamook.”

The opening of Goodwill in Tillamook is not only exciting for Cusick, but he says people in the community seem to be excited as well.

“I'm pumped that the community is pumped,” Cusick laughed. “I can't go to Fred Meyer with my Goodwill shirt on without people bombarding

me with questions about when the store is opening and what kind of things will be for sale.

It shows the community's excitement, which makes this whole thing exciting.

“One of the biggest things I want the community to know is Goodwill wanted to be part of this community and is happy to be joining it.”

Simply because a business is new and people are excited about it's Grand Opening doesn't guarantee the business' long term success. But senior district manager Phil Paradis is

very confident about the store's potential.

“I think the store will be extremely successful,” Paradis said. “We've found ourselves to be very successful in more remote locations like Warrenton, Lincoln City and Scappoose because the community seems to be so inviting to us and happy to have us there.

In a community like Tillamook where you have limited places to shop, we're well accepted because were another source for locals to find their goods.”

Senator Merkley Bay City approves water contracts holds town hall

BY JOE WRABEK

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

JULIUS JORTNER For the Headlight Herald

Jeff Merkley, Oregon’s junior U.S. senator, visited Pacific City for a town hall on Friday afternoon, Jan. 11, at the Kiawanda Community Center.

More than 60 people attended.

Before beginning his talk, Merkley asked elected officials to stand and introduce themselves. Those present included: Tim Josi (who had introduced Merkley) and Bill Baertlein, county commissioners, Suzanne Weber, mayor of Tillamook, Shirley Kalkhoven, mayor of Nehalem, Andy Long, sheriff of Tillamook County, Kris Weiland, chief of Nestucca Rural Fire District, and David Gomberg, Oregon state representative-elect.

Merkley spoke of his support for the recent legislation that avoided the U.S. government’s “fiscal cliff.� Although a March deadline remains for certain unresolved matters, the legislation has accomplished significant goals: it extended unemployment benefits, fixed reimbursement rates for doctors, and resolved some tax rates.

Merkley is working to change the senate’s rules for filibusters, hoping to cure what he believes is a major obstacle to the senate’s ability to conduct legislative business. He also spoke about the recent farm bill, secure financing for rural schools, and utilization of Oregon’s forests and BLM lands.

After his talk, Merkley took questions from the audience.

There proved to be time for 7 questioners, including two grade-school students. Adult questioners were selected by lottery: numbered ticket stubs were drawn blind from a container by Tim Josi; each attendee had been given a matching stub upon entering the hall An 8th grade student asked, “What is your opinion about gun control and semi-automatic weapons?� Merkley described his process for (eventually) reaching a position, a process that includes consideration of the U.S. constitution’s 2nd amendment and the potential effectiveness of proposed solutions to gun violence.

Regarding concerns about

threats to civil liberties in relation to the recently renewed National Defense Authorization Act, Merkley mentioned he is working towards requiring that court opinions about secret laws (i.e., laws not fully disclosed because of concerns for national security) be made public to some degree. He plans to insert a transparency provision into Congress’s intelligence bill next year.

When asked, “What is your sense about ‌ the likelihood of a preemptive strike against Iran?â€? Merkley said he greatly favors sanctions rather than military action as the means by which the U.S. tries to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. “It would be terrible,â€? he said, “for Iran to have that capability.â€? He said he opposes U.S. military intervention in Iran, but would allow Israel to make an independent decision. He applauds countries like South Africa that had achieved nuclear weapons but then voluntarily gave them up.

In responding to a question about education policies, Merkley noted he had given up his seat on the senate’s committee on education, in favor of serving on the appropriations committee.

Merkley said he believes climate change issues are “very important,� when a 3rd grade student asked, “What will you do about global warming and polar ice cap melting?�

Merkley stayed in the hall while chairs were put away and people readied to leave, making himself open to informal conversations with individuals.

When asked, one on one, whether there were topics he would like to have addressed that had not been brought up in the town hall, Merkley mentioned two issues he thinks important to Oregon: jobs and housing. As to housing, he is proposing to “rebuild home ownership� by developing a new program for ensuring that home owners, trapped in highinterest mortgages, have access to low-interest refinancing.

This was Merkley’s first town hall in Pacific City. He has pledged to visit each county of Oregon at least once a year during his term as senator. See www.merkley.senate.gov for info.

Bay City’s first city council meeting of 2013, on Jan. 8, witnessed the swearing in of Mayor Shaena Peterson, who was re-elected to another 2-year term last November, and city councilors John Gettman, Kari Fleischer, and Crystal Killion. Killion is new on the council; Gettman and Fleischer were re-elected.

All are serving 4-year terms. The council unanimously elected Robert Pollock as council president.

There will be another meeting on the Pioneer Water District on Jan. 24, Mayor Shaena Peterson told the council. “Right now, we’re not really doing anything,� Petersen said. “I’ll stay involved.� Peterson noted there were 92 water customers outside the Bay City limits “who aren’t represented by anyone�; they’re not part of any of the four water companies that buy Bay City water, and they’re not City residents.

The city needs to do its best to make sure everyone knows there’s going to be

a meeting, Peterson said. “The city still needs two new reservoirs,� councilor John Gettman said. “What the city council needs to understand is what’s involved in the process,� he said. “Most of the city council are not familiar with it.� Capital projects and reserves will be discussed at the Jan. 24 meeting, public works director David Pace advised. “There is no certainty this is going to go forward,� city attorney Lois Albright cautioned. It may take three or four years, she said.

The city council also approved a resolution correcting “scrivener’s errors� in the resolution transferring ownership of some county roads to the city of Bay City. “The county public works department pointed out we had ‘Doughty Street,’ not ‘Road,’� Albright said. A tax lot number was wrong, too, she said. “The good news is that the county actually looked at it,� she said. “It’s been months.�

The council also approved new contracts with the Latimer Road Water

Association and Juno Nonprofit Water Improvement District, two of the water companies that buy Bay City water from the Kilchis Regional Water District.

Under the new contracts, good just through June 30, 2013, Bay City will begin reading meters and doing staterequired water tests and reports, tasks the two companies used to do themselves with volunteer labor.

Gettman objected to consideration of the Latimer contract. “They don’t have any way of reading water meters,� he said. “They have new meters but no radio antennas,� Pace said. The Latimer water company’s 52 meters are supposed to be “radio-read.� The meters will be read manually the first time (in February) anyway, Pace said, so staff is sure where they all are.

The council approved (on a 4-1 vote, with Gettman voting no) both contracts, taking out (at mayor Petersen’s suggestion) the reference to them being “intergovernmental� agreements. The Juno and Latimer companies aren’t governmental bodies, she said.

Chamber gets news about infrastructue, utilities

BY JULIUS JORTNER For the Headlight Herald

Ocean energy development off the local coast, keeping the Pacific City airport open, and maintenance of county roads were among issues described to the Pacific City Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce at their regular monthly meeting on Jan 8 in the Pelican Pub at Cape Kiwanda.

County Sheriff Andy Long, Nestucca Rural Fire Chief Kris Weiland, Nestucca Valley Schools Superintendant Kathryn Hedrick, County Commissioner Mark Labhart were among those presenting reports to the chamber members.

Labhart and David Yamamoto (PC resident and member of the state’s Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee) told of recommendations recently made by the Ocean Policy Advisory Committee and by TSPAC regarding placement of ocean energy

facillities off the coast between Pacific City and Neskowin.

OPAC recommends against use of the PC-Neskowin site for development of ocean energy. TSPAC, which has made no recommendation, lists PC-Nesko sixth, below the sites most favored for development, which are clustered near deep water ports like Coos Bay and Newport.

The Oregon state Land Conservation and Development Commission will make the final decisions relating to ocean energy sites. While there is no “done deal� yet, Yamamoto said it’s “looking very, very good for the PC area� to avoid exploitation of its coast for these uses. (For more detail, see “OPAC rejects Pacific City, Netarts wave energy sites� in the Jan 9 issue of the Headlight Herald.)

Labhart spoke about the county commission’s interest in keeping the PC airport open.

He said two concerns to be solved are funding mainte-

nance costs and the potential liability related to the airport’s not meeting current federal and state standards. Bill Goodman, president of the Tillamook Pilots Association, told of the TPA’s strong interest to keep the PC airport open. Goodman said county commissioner Tim Josi, also a member of the TPA, is tracking state government activities regarding a proposed increase in aviation fuel taxes to help fund maintenance of airports like the one at PC. Goodman said Josi is working with Senator Betsy Johnson (herself a pilot, once manager of the Aeronautics Division of the state department of Transportation, and a champion for the legislation that created the Oregon Department of Aviation, which owns the PC airport) to address maintenance costs and liability concerns.

Labhart and Doug Olson (a member of the chamber board) spoke about funding of county road repairs. A bond issue, being planned for May’s ballot,

may provide part of the needed moneys. Additional options include a tax on transient (less than 30 days) lodgings, which would allow visitors to the county to contribute to the roads they rely on. Olson said the issues will involve the county’s Economic Development Council and are likely to be the subject of several meetings through the coming spring.

Olson, who also is a director with the Tillamook People’s Utility District, told the chamber there will be no increase in local electric power rates in 2013, despite an upcoming increase in rates from the Bonneville power source. He also told of a new transmission line being built near Oceanside, which will benefit the stability of the entire county power system.

Anna Welsh of Nehalem appeared in court Monday, Jan. 14 for an entry of plea.

However, Welsh did not enter a plea. Defense attorney John Tuthill told the court “the defense is not in a position to offer a plea,� because they’re not yet in possession of police reports. Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter told the court that the case is still being investigated, and the State expects a complete report from the police by mid-February.

The hearing was set over to March 11 at 9 a.m. for a pretrial conference. Welsh has been charged with several Measure 11 sex crimes involving alleged relations with underage boys. She was released on bail in December, and was released to the custody of her husband and father-in-law as third party supervisors.

Welsh will be back in court Jan. 25 for a release modification hearing. She is currently barred from seeing her own children outside of visits supervised by DHS. However, DHS does not provide supervised visits in cases in which they have no jurisdiction.

Therefore, the defense is requesting a modification of the release agreement current-

I agree with Mary Faith Bell, we should all be talking about child sex abuse.

It is happening in Tillamook County. So why not acknowledge it, in detail, and be appalled?

Speaking and listening to the truth calmly and clearly is where change takes place.

If the victim is reading this, know that I prefer to think of you as a survivor. You are not alone. We validate you, respect your courage and we will aid you in your healing.

Finally, Phyllis Sisco, if you must shame someone, shame Matthew James Hamilton.

37 years is not enough Regarding Mary Faith Bell’s Jan. 2, 2013 article about Matthew Hamilton, Mr. Hamilton was convicted of sexual abuse of a preschool aged girl who was tormented by him for years. He received a 37-year sentence. 50

YEARS LESS than was legally possible and recommended by our State. Thank you for publishing the name Mari Garric Trevino who imposed this ludicrous sentence and is up for reelection in 2015.

This is our first year of having the opportunity for children to attend kindergarten all day every day at Liberty Elementary. Your children are pioneers in the Tillamook School District and we want to thank you for your involvement in helping make this happen.

Although we are only a few months into the school year, we want to share with you some of the exciting progress that we are already seeing in our all day every day program compared to the half-day program from a year ago.

As you can see, the everyday kindergarten students have made amazing gains in the first few months of this new program. Historically progress during the first trimester is significantly slower than the other two trimesters. It normally takes the first several weeks to teach expectations and for the students to become comfortable

‘Vulnerable homeowners’ meet with legislators

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Members of the “Alliance of Vulnerable Homeowners” met with state legislators Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9 at the courthouse. The meeting had been arranged by Tillamook County commissioners.

The “vulnerable homeowners” are senior citizens with reverse mortgages who were enrolled in the state’s senior-citizen property tax deferral program. Those seniors were dropped from the deferral program in 2011 by action of the state legislature.

“It disqualified about half the people who had been on the program,” David Rafael told legislators. Rafael is co-founder of the group, formed two years ago.

The 5,000 people dropped from the tax-deferral program included 54 families in Tillamook County, and over 100 families in Clatsop County, he said.

Most are low income. “People on reverse mortgages have reverse mortgages because they don’t get enough on Social Security to live,” Judy Shaw from Garibaldi told legislators.

Three of the four state legislators representing Tillamook County were in attendance -State Sen. Betsy Johnson and Rep. Deborah Boone from north county, and State Sen. Arnie Roblan from south county – along with two functionaries from the Oregon Dept. of Revenue, which runs the tax-deferral program, and county commissioners. (South county Rep. David Gomberg did not attend, but sent regrets.)

“We’re asking for reconsideration,” Vern Litvin told legislators. Litvin heads the Tillamook County chapter of the vulnerable homeowners group.

“I think the bill was passed in haste,” Johnson told the seniors.

Roblan agreed. “We addressed it in a panic last time.”

The legislature’s concern, Roblan suggested, was that the program, which is supposed to be self-sustaining, might be running out of money. (“Removing 50 percent of the homeowners

on the program definitely removed an expense,” Rafael said.) The problem was that homeowners’ equity, which had been rising for years because of rising home prices, was dropping because of the recession, prompting worries there might not be enough equity to pay off a homeowner’s reverse mortgage and the accumulated property tax bills that had been paid by the state.

Passage of the 2011 legislation had also been triggered by stories in the state’s largest newspaper about wealthy homeowners with high-value properties who were enrolled in the taxdeferral program. There was a perception people were “gaming the system,” Johnson said.

“There weren’t as many abuses as the Oregonian would have you believe,” Rafael said. “We have tried to focus on people with the greatest need.”

Slightly less than one-third of the seniors that had been displaced from the deferral program in 2011 were added back in 2012 – but only for two years.

The Alliance of Vulnerable Homeowners is asking for all the former participants to be reinstated in the program, without having to re-apply. “If we were directed to keep them in the program we would keep them in the program,” the Dept. of Revenue’s Ekstrand told the legislators. Income standards for new applicants would help, Rafael suggested (other states have them, but Oregon does not), as would a “homestead exemption” for those homeowners who simply don’t have enough equity in their homes. The Alliance has also asked that the program be transferred from the Department of Revenue to the Dept. of Housing and Community Services, which already runs a number of programs for seniors.

Johnson offered what she called “a glimmer of hope.”

“There is a willingness to realize some decisions have unintended consequences,” she said. “An undue burden on a whole class of people is a call to action.”

Daniels appointed to Garibaldi Port

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Paul Daniels of Garibaldi was appointed Wednesday night, Jan. 9 as the fifth member of the Garibaldi Port Commission. Daniels succeeds Dave May of Rockaway, who resigned Dec. 18.

Daniels has a background in construction engineering and financial management, and is a former member of the Garibaldi City Council. He was on the Port of Garibaldi’s Budget Committee at the time of his appointment to the Port Commission.

Also interviewed for the Port Commission post were former Rockaway Beach city councilor Rodney Breazeale and former Garibaldi port commissioner Mary Sause. Two others who had applied for the vacancy, Dave Brown and former Rockaway mayor Terry Walhood, ended up backing out, port manager Kevin Greenwood told the commissioners.

Because Dave May had resigned less than halfway through his 4-year term, an election has to be held in May 2013 for the remaining two years of the term, Greenwood said. The filing deadline is in March.

At their meeting, the Garibaldi Port Commission also adopted a resolution hiking fees for moorage slips in the Portowned Garibaldi Boat Basin.

“They don’t go up across the board,” port president Val Folkema emphasized. “Just those that take up more space, use more electricity, and so forth” will be affected, she said.

Slips on the port’s G and E docks, which accommodate smaller boats, won’t go up at

all, she said. Fees for slips on B, C, D, F and the charter-boat docks will rise an average three percent.

“Nobody down there said they were against it going up,” commissioner Bob Browning told his colleagues. “They just wished it was going down.”

The resolution also raised fees at the port-owned R.V. park. “It’s a pretty comprehensive resolution,” Folkema said.

An ordinance creating bylaws for the port commission’s operations wasn’t considered at the meeting; the legal notice about the ordinance hadn’t made it into the newspaper on time, Greenwood said. Instead, the ordinance will be up for consideration and adoption at the port commission’s next meeting, Wednesday, Feb. 13 at City Hall in Bay City.

Port commission president Val Folkema, commissioner Bob Browning, and manager Greenwood will be going to Washington, D.C. in February, Folkema told commission members. “We’ll hit the Coast Guard, Corps of Engineers, our (Oregon) delegation and staff, Pacific Northwest Waterways Association, and others,” she said, in the continuing effort to get the Federal government to repair its deteriorating South Jetty at the entrance to Tillamook Bay. The port delegation will be taking letters of support for the jetty project from the cities of Bay City and Rockaway, the Watseco-Barview Water District, and others—and from Tillamook County, whose county commissioners declared (on Feb. 8) repair of the South Jetty the number-one priority in Tillamook County for Federal funds.

LETTERS: Culture of violence I was moved by the story about the Pacific City Vigil for the Newtown children. But then right below it was a disturbing report on the run on automatic guns. Assault weapons have only one purpose -- to kill many people -and should not only be banned, but also confiscated.

A program should be set up where owners of such weapons could turn them in and get something of value and peaceful in return.

People can push back against the culture of violence, too. The pop culture of ultraviolence has redefined the hero as the punishing avenger, a role model for the troubled potential "shooter." So much of what's on TV and movie screens and in the shooter line of games is saying that violence is cool. Boycott movies and shows that feature extreme violence, including torture, such as ‘Zero Dark Thirty, and ‘Django.’ There are many more like them on TV and Cineplex screens across the land.

Find out who is sponsoring these violent products & games. Boycott them too.

They'll get the message in a hurry. People power can be effective in fighting the current notion that violence is cool.

DV crisis in Tillamook During the recent election Sheriff Long stated it wasn't the Sheriff’s role to reduce the epidemic of domestic violence in Tillamook County. Now that the election is over, and I believe we must focus on the next election for the District Attorney and judges in Tillamook County.

We are issuing over 100 restraining orders a year in this county, an average of four per week, and many abusers are getting less than 15 days in jail for assaulting their spouse.

Many people in our community are frustrated that we are allowing abusers to continue to abuse (mostly women). We need to focus on this and increase the punishment to reduce the "continued

Continued from Page A4

cycle of violence.” We do have a crisis in Tillamook County with DV and I'm hopeful we will address this crisis because no one should be a victim of violence.

“Customer for life” Did you know that we have an awesome small engine repair shop right here in Tillamook? Well, let me tell you, there is! I had heard about it a long time ago but didn't need it until recently.

Then, I wasn't sure if they would take the job, as it was a vacuum. They did and I am so happy!! I had been taking my vacuum to the valley and then found out that I had been ripped off! When it was having issues AGAIN, I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered Epic Small Engine Repair. I called and Don told me to bring it over and he'd look at it. He was able to fix it for me and I'm a customer for life now. So, if you need ANY engine repairs done, please give him a call and see if he can help you too.

“We should applaud the Republicans” Mr. Tracey should do some research before he blames the Republicans for playing political games with the storm relief aid.

First President Obama did visit several days after the storm. But, according to most of the reports the ultimate outcome has been disastrous.

Phone going calls unanswered, no 15 minute callbacks as promised by the President.

Claims going nowhere, and lack of coordination between government agencies. From most published accounts, the ultimate outcome of the President's visit was purely for photo ops for his 2012 campaign.

The relief package was divided into two parts the first was for $9.7 billion to restock FEMA's flood insurance check

book. If the flood insurance program were being properly run, those funds would already be there from premium payments. Another example of a poorly run government program. Private sector insurance can't run to Congress for more funds to pay for claims, why should FEMA? The second funding is for $51 billion and that is for relief aid directly to cities, counties, states and private home and business owners.

Unfortunately the Democratically controlled Senate loaded this up with non-storm related earmarks, in other words “pork barrel” spending not related to the Sandy storm.

We should applaud the Republicans for taking the time to get this bill right and not one that is laden with "pork barrel" spending. Especially with our current projected 2013 deficit of over one trillion dollars.

Our roads are our problem

Christmas Basket Program provides for 68 families This is the first year for the Nestucca Valley Lions Club to join with the Nesko Ladies Club and work on the South County Christmas Baskets.

Along with the help of the Honor Society from Nestucca High School, the Cub Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the 4-H Clubs, Nestucca Fire & Rescue and many community volunteers the program was able to provide for 68 families this year.

Many thanks to the local business' from Hemlock to Neskowin, Sandlake to Pacific City that provide space for the food donation boxes. The gift trees at the banks were great for providing gifts for the kids.

The Nestucca Valley Lions and the Nesko Ladies Club thank everyone for the wonderful out poring to our Community to make the Christmas Basket Program possible.

Mr. Wrabek’s column on making all county roads state highways is a non-starter. I would acknowledge that the state has an obligation to provide services for its citizens that the citizens can’t do for themselves. I would also acknowledge that counties are, for the most part administrative jurisdictions of the state, but the good citizens of Sheridan or Ontario or Burns are no responsible for “wet-nursing” the citizens of Tillamook County. We are quite mature enough to blow our own noses and wipe our own behinds. If we choose to not improve our own roads, that’s our problem to deal with as citizens in a democracy.

Other counties take care of their county roads (farm to market), we should do the same. It’s not our obligation, other than in time of catastrophe, to help the people in Jefferson County and it’s not their obligation to help us. If our county roads are in bad shape, it’s our fault, not theirs or the state’s.

When a local business gives exceptional service I think it's important that the community knows about and better yet supports them with their patronage. The Tillamook Hearing Aid Center on Main Avenue sold me the perfect hearing aid for my needs without requiring any money from me as my insurance was being billed. It took the insurance 5 months to pay these good folks, I was stunned and embarrassed when the check came to me as I thought it had been paid long ago! I'm not so sure others would have been as patient. They are wonderful to work with (obviously) and Pete is always smiling and ready to chat and help with whatever you need. I can't say enough about how my hearing aid has helped me hear what I need to hear.

Thanks folks.

Taxes, bonds discussed for road funding

BY SAMANTHA SWINDLER sswindler@countrymedia.net About 30 people attended the third and final public meeting by the Tillamook County Sustainable Roads Committee, held Jan. 9 at Tillamook Bay Community College. Committee chair Jon Carnahan shared several of the creative possibilities for roads revenues – including a transient room (or hotel/motel room tax), a seasonal sales tax, and a reworked property tax levy proposal.

“Everybody agrees that we have a general responsibility as citizens that live in the community to fix the roads,” said Carnahan. “But we also have a lot of visitors that come to this community, that use our roads and use our services, and there’s a feeling from almost everyone that I talk to that they should share in the cost.”

Director of Public Works Liane Welch gave a presentation on her department’s diminishing resources and growing problems. The roads department budget has been cut in half since 2009, when revenues totaled more than $6 million. Of that, more than $3 million came from a federal funding program that has since expired.

“What I’ve found in the last year is we are doing really reactive maintenance only,” Welsh said. “We are only fixing things that are broken out there or fixing things that people call and complain about. We really don’t have any preventive maintenance.”

The department isn’t able to do things such as chip sealing, paving, ditch and culvert maintenance or brush cutting, she said. Instead, it is constantly battling failures. Just this week, the county closed Cape Meares Loop because of an accelerated slide.

In November, the most recent attempt to pass a property tax levy for the roads department failed – but narrowly. The $15 million bond would have charged property owners 46 cents per $1,000 of property value. That figure would have shrunk slightly to 42 cents per $1,000 by the end of the 10year levy.

Carnahan said one problem with the most recent bond was that state law would have required most of the money be spent within the first three years.

“So what are you going to tell everyone the last six or seven years when they don’t see us improving any of the roads and you’re still paying for it?” Carnahan asked.

Though he cautioned that no decisions have been made, Carnahan is proposing another $15 million bond – with a lower price tag and two separate bond sales.

A bond is a loan, and in the case of a government bond, it would be “sold” to investor creditors who would loan the county money on interest.

Carnahan’s proposal includes two bond sales of $7.5 million each – one in 2013 and one in 2018. That would allow for a longer term (six years) in which to spend the funds, and would also allow for lower interest rates.

Carnahan’s proposal, he said, would

GROWING: “We run 100 miles per hour for nine months. Mid- November through the middle of February is still slow, but this year it hasn’t been that slow.

“In a shrinking economy, in the last four months we’ve added 10 percent to our customer base. That’s huge! That’s adding one-and-a-half to two employees just by going out and talking to the right accounts and answering the phone.”

With the expanding business, Phillips took advantage of the opportunity to open two more businesses; North Coast Storage and U-Haul Center. His office assistant Patty Jepson was hired to help out with all three businesses.

“Something that a lot of people in Tillamook don’t do is answer the phone. That’s what Patty is doing here,” Phillips said. “I did it myself for years.

I’d go home and check the answering machine and return all the calls but I found over the years, probably only 35 percent left messages. Financially, it seemed like the next move to add Patty to the staff.”

“U-Haul approached us this fall about adding the U-haul line here because we had the space and U-Haul likes to be at mini storage facilities. We did because it took Patty from working five hours a day to full time. It adds one more person in the community to being fully employed.”

While the new businesses are doing well, they are still a small percentage of Phillips’ overall income.

“North Coast Lawn is the bulk of the business, probably 90 percent. Maybe nine percent is mini storage and the U-Haul is barely anything, but it gets people in the door. It brings people that would never have come in here.”

Phillips gives his hardworking crew a huge chunk of the credit for his businesses being profitable, but he also attributes his success to the town of Tillamook and the business owners in it.

“Guys like Al Kimmel and Kimmel’s True Value are key to our success,” Phillips said. “I’ve got a set of people I can call for repairs or new equipment or paving stones or gravel or whatever I need delivered. It’s the

The City of Ashland’s finance director, Lee Tuneberg, is used to questions about his city’s tax on prepared food.

“I get this kind of call half a dozen times a year,” he said. “Sometimes it’s from reporters, and sometimes it’s from staff, and sometimes it’s from elected officials, and sometimes it’s from opponents.”

All those people are wondering: how does Ashland do it?

According to a 2012 Oregonian article, Ashland and Yachats are the only municipalities in the state with a sales tax. In Ashland, the 5-percent tax on prepared food (sometimes called a restaurant tax or a food and beverage tax) brings in about $2 million annually to the city.

Tuneberg said the tax isn’t applied to alcoholic drinks served in restaurants or bars. It does apply to prepared food – cafes, deli sandwiches, meals served by restaurants or food carts – but it does not apply to unprepared groceries.

The tax was first enacted in 1993; when it was set to expire, in 2009 the community renewed again through

2030. As designated in the public vote that passed the tax, 20 percent of the revenues goes toward parks and public spaces; 80 percent goes toward paying the debt service on the city’s wastewater treatment plant.

State law doesn’t put restrictions on the way the funds must be spent.

Tillamook County could put 100 percent of a sales tax toward roads, if it chose.

Since 1993, Tuneberg said the tax has generated $30.6 million for the city.

“It’s a strong issue in Oregon... You’ve got to have a real reason to put in a sales tax like this. It has to make sense to the public,” Tuneberg said.

In Ashland, he said, it made sense because the town of about 20,000 sees a swell of 350,000 visitors annually for the city’s nine-month-long Shakespeare Festival. The town also has a 9-percent transient room tax.

“As communities struggle with paying for all of these costs, they are going to continue to look at alternative revenue streams, and this is just one of them,” he said, “especially if your facilities, your services are being used by visitors.”

But Strober may have another motive in his push for a smaller countywide TRT. The Kiwanda Hospitality Group charges an eight percent “convenience fee” at its three properties in unincorporated south county.

“It’s essentially a marketing surcharge that we assess in the absence of a country-wide TRT or visitor and convention bureau to fund destination marketing,” Strober said. “... The only difference is that it is an incidental or a fee that we choose to implement as opposed to a mandatory fee such as a tax.”

If a county-wide TRT were established, Strober said his company would either reduce or eliminate its fee.

“Our surcharge fees go to promoting our destination, and we feel that if a tax can do the same we don’t need to charge that surcharge any longer,” he said. “But a tax goes to promote the entire county. While that’s good for us, it does take away our ability to promote our local area.”

County Commissioner Mark Labhart closed the meeting by focusing on the safety hazards posed by deteriorating roads. He held up a photo of 23year-old Corinne Edmiston, while her mother, Roxanne Hanset, told the audience how her daughter died.

“On Dec. 2, Corinne was coming home from Hebo early in the morning, about 6 o’clock, and she never arrived at home to get ready for work,” Hanset said. She called the police, and Corinne’s boyfriend went looking for her. He found tire tracks running off Resort Drive and into the Nestucca River, where Corinne’s body was found.

“All I’m asking is for a guardrail,” Hanset said. “I don’t want a school bus to go over there; school buses go down that road. It’s in bad shape.”

During a memorial service, about 75 people lined across the spot where Corinne died, making a human guardrail.

“I don’t know half those people.

What I thought was going to be family and friends for a small roadside service, it blew up with the community ... I heard story after story of accidents on Resort Drive,” Hanset said.

Labhart expressed concerns about ambulances, sheriff’s deputies, school buses and mail carriers driving on dangerous roads.

“The postmaster has, on a number of occasions, called us and said ‘we aren’t delivering anymore on ‘X’ road.’

Well, why? ‘The road is so bad we’re not going to deliver mail there anymore,’” he said.

“I ask you to look at this not only from a technical standpoint, look at it from a personal standpoint. What does this mean to this community? What does it mean to us to have a good infrastructure system? No, this is not going to solve all of our problems, it’s not going to fix everything, but it’s going to put us on a pathway to do that.”

Labhart said the Roads Committee is likely to give its recommendation to the Commissioners on which funding sources to pursue in the next month or so. While the exact proposal is still being discussed, Labhart said, “I’m putting something on the ballot in May.” After the meeting, Carnahan said a bond measure will likely appear in May, but the secondary funding component – something that would take advantage of tourist dollars – would likely wait until November.

The ideas, which have included the room tax, sales tax, or even axle taxes, are “all on the table,” Carnahan said, and the prospects “need to be vetted a little better.”

have a property tax rate of 39 to 33 cents per $1,000, with an average of 36 cents per $1,000 over the 10-year length of the bond.

One audience member asked if there were any other bond measures expected to appear on the May ballot.

“I talked to Randy Schild, the superintendent,” Carnahan said, “and given the concern for school security everywhere in the country ... Randy might run a bond measure for some school security costs for our public schools.

But it shouldn’t be large. We’re talking about $1 million or so, so you’re talking 3 or 4 cents (per $1,000.)”

For a second funding source, the Roads Committee is considering a county-wide transient room tax (TRT).

The county currently has no room tax, though most cities have one for rooms rented within the city limits. A proposed 10-percent county TRT would not be on top of cities’ rates. In a city with an existing 8-percent TRT, 8 percent would still go to the city, 1 percent to the state and 1 percent to the county.

By state law, 70 percent of room taxes collected must go to tourism marketing and promotion (some cities operate differently because their long-standing taxes were grandfathered in). Only 30 percent of a new tax could be dedicated to the roads department. Estimates are that the TRT would generate around $350,000 to $400,000 a year for the roads department.

Economic Development Director Dan Biggs spoke in favor of a TRT, saying that even with only 30 percent of funds going to roads, a large economic impact could be made by promoting tourism. He said tourists annually spend about $390 million in neighboring Clatsop County and $340 million in Lincoln County; Tillamook County by comparison receives only $180 million.

While Eugene Tish, owner of Garibaldi House hotel, spoke in favor of the county-wide TRT, Jeremy Strober, president of Kiwanda Hospitality Group in Pacific City, expressed concerns about a 10-percent tax rate.

“The number that was used in the (Headlight Herald online) poll is a

number that may be too large for unincorporated properties that are not used to that to absorb immediately,” he said. “...As we look at options, a modest amount in TRT ... and in combination with some other creative ideas, perhaps a food and beverage tax, some of the others that we’ve heard, could perhaps provide a more substantial amount for ongoing road maintenance.”

In an interview after the meeting, Strober elaborated on the idea of a restaurant tax. Using the $180 million figure from the Economic Development Council, and an Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association study that found about 22 cents of every tourist dollar spent in state goes to restaurants, Strober estimated that a 2-percent restaurant tax would collect about $800,000 from tourists alone. That would not include local spending.

And, he added, there are no restrictions on how that money can be spent: 100 percent of it could go toward roads.

That’s more than twice the money for roads than what could be raised with a 10-percent, county-wide TRT. Carnahan said the Roads Committee also considered a restaurant or prepared food tax – similar to a tax instituted by the cities of Ashland and Yachats. The idea was brought up by one of last year’s county commissioner candidates.

“I thought, well that’s not a bad idea, but we wouldn’t want to have the only sales tax of coastal counties,” Carnahan said. “So I said that might be a good idea if we can get the Coastal Caucus of all the representatives of the Oregon Coast, bring them together, and say look, if you’re in the valley and you want to come to the coast, any part of the coast, you’re going to pay a seasonal sales tax... but the problem with that is we also pay it.”

Strober thinks there is “no way” a modest restaurant tax would negatively impact county restaurants. Kiwanda Hospitality Group operates the Pelican Pub in Pacific City, 22 miles from Lincoln City.

“I feel strongly that a modest amount of 2-percent would not impact any tourist decision of whether or not to stay here or eat here,” he said.

team that makes it all work. It’s not just me or Patty, or my crew that make it all work. It’s guys like Al Kimmel. “ Because Phillips is so happy with his town and the support it gives him, he makes sure his businesses do all they can go give back to the community.

North Coast Lawn does the lawn maintenance and landscaping for free at multiple sites around Tillamook, including the Fairgrounds, Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, two different Head Start facilities, Sue H. Elmore Park, Kilchis Point Park and others.

“Currently we have major projects going for the fairgrounds,” Phillips said. “We’re renovating a 14,000-square-foot arena and adding a sprinkler

system.”

In addition, North Coast Lawn also makes sure its profits stay in Tillamook.

“I’m proud of the reputation we’ve obtained,” Phillips said.

“We’re probably the first phone call anyone makes and because of that, almost all of the money we make stays in Tillamook.

“I try to buy everything locally. I’ll even pay more for it here without question. Because who’s going to tell people about our company? It’s guys like Al Kimmel. I get people all the time that tell me Rosenberg’s gave them my number. So why would I go buy blocks from Home Depot?”

With business looking good for North Coast Lawn and Terry Phillips, he’s had the opportuni-

ty to look toward the future.

“If I won the lottery, I’d buy the entire downtown of Tillamook and I’d renovate it,” Phillips said. “People think parking is the problem, but that’s not it. Tillamook is a rundown and unkempt little town with nothing to get you to stop.

I wish I could make it beautiful and get more tourists coming.

Even if they don’t spend money on lawn care or landscaping because they don’t live here, they spend their money at businesses that might.

“For my company now though, we want to continue to grow the mini-storage facility. I like taking things that are rundown and fixing them. My fun is right here at the mini storage these days.”

Continued from Page A1

Tillamook’s Franz Bakery outlet store has been in business at 3516 Third Street since the fall of 1980. It’s a retail outlet and not a bakery.

The company built the building, former employees said.

Work on Third Street, which had impacted businesses in the construction zone – including the Franz store – wasn’t a factor in the company’s decision to close the outlet, Bradbury said.

“Trends have been down for some time,” Bradbury said. “The street work wasn’t really a factor.”

The Tillamook outlet store employs four people. Two are being laid off, Bradbury said.

“We’re not happy about that.”

While Bradbury said employees could relocate, the company’s website says there are no jobs available (and Bradbury confirmed that was the case).

Staver, the local store manager, said the employees being laid off were not being given any severance package.

“It’s been a little bit stressful,” she said.

A third local employee, who drives the local delivery route, will still be doing so – but from Astoria, not Tillamook, Staver said. The closure leaves only two Franz outlet stores on the Oregon Coast, Staver said – in Newport and Astoria.

Tillamookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mayor and Council are sworn in

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;new facesâ&#x20AC;? on the Tillamook City Council in 2013 are all â&#x20AC;&#x153;old faces.â&#x20AC;? Incumbent (and re-elected) Mayor Suzanne Weber, and incumbent (and reelected) councilors Joseph Martin, Cheryl Davy, and John Sandusky were all sworn in Monday, Jan. 7 by City Recorder Abigail Donowho.

Sandusky was unanimously elected Council President (vicemayor), and the council approved the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments of Davy and councilor Steve Forster to the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency (TURA) board, and councilor Doug Henson as liaison to the Planning Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the planning commission needs some leadership,â&#x20AC;? Henson told the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meetings have been taking 4-5 hours. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gladly accept the position if someone will look into it. Otherwise, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll decline.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to the planning commission meeting last week,â&#x20AC;? City Manager Paul Wyntergreen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the meeting, I put together observations how to make things smoother.â&#x20AC;? The recommendations have been submitted to both the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair and to planner David Mattison, he said.

Joel Baker, who has a culinary degree from Vancouver (Washington), has worked at Michkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the Anchor, The Landing in Bay City, and for the past 5-1/2 years at the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunity came up where we were able to do this,â&#x20AC;? Joel told the council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to serving the community which has been good to us.â&#x20AC;?

The council also approved a contract with Averill Trucking to haul â&#x20AC;&#x153;cakeâ&#x20AC;? from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new sewage treatment plant to the mega-landfill at Coffin Butte, near Corvallis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sole sourceâ&#x20AC;? contract â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not

competitively bid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because â&#x20AC;&#x153;Averill is the only one who can do it properly,â&#x20AC;? public works director Arley Sullivan told the council. Sole-source contracts are allowed under state contracting law, he said.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;cakeâ&#x20AC;? is the result of passing â&#x20AC;&#x153;biosolidsâ&#x20AC;? multiple times through the new treatment plant, Sullivan said. In order to be processed at the Port of Tillamook Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digester, water would have to be added to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cake,â&#x20AC;? which would be counter-productive, Sullivan suggested, since the city had spent time and money taking the water out.

City manager Wyntergreen subsequently presented the council with a new procurement policy, which he said was

a simplification of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex and convoluted public contracting law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got it down to five pages,â&#x20AC;? Wyntergreen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It categorizes all types of purchases youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making,â&#x20AC;? he said, while still recognizing exceptions in state law. The council approved the new policy unanimously.

In other business, the audi-

torâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report is expected in February, and the city is soliciting proposals for auditing services, as it did earlier for city attorney services, Wyntergreen advised the council. The city will also be soliciting proposals for water engineering services for the Water Master Plan, he said. A new sewer rate is being worked out for the new brewery â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was adopted earlier doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be workable,â&#x20AC;?

public buildings to be handicapped-accessible. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could they ask for seismic rehab money and just include ADA?â&#x20AC;?

Rep. Boone questioned.)

Following the prioritization meeting, the county commissioners and officials from around the county spent an hour with Senators Johnson and Roblan, and Rep. Boone, reviewing â&#x20AC;&#x153;legislative prioritiesâ&#x20AC;? affecting Tillamook County â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from â&#x20AC;&#x153;regionalizationâ&#x20AC;? of 911 dispatch centers (which would eliminate the one in Tillamook County) to closure of the Pacific City airport to â&#x20AC;&#x153;zoning the oceanâ&#x20AC;? for wave-energy projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see something happening, call us,â&#x20AC;?

COURTESY PHOTOS

Municipal Judge Lisa Phipps swore in re-elected Rockaway Beach Mayor Danell Boggs Jan. 9, then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; en masse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the four who were elected to the Rockaway City Council in November (from left): Bonnie Sedgemore, Sue Wilson, Rich Riley, and Tom Martine. The council subsequently elected Riley council president on a 4-1 vote. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good,â&#x20AC;? said Riley, who was council president the last two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to change my nameplate.â&#x20AC;?)

For the second year in a row, repairing Tillamook Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Jetty tops the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of projects needing Federal funding.

The county commissioners annually list and rank projects for which local governments, other public agencies, and nonprofits are seeking Federal funding. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;prioritization sessionâ&#x20AC;? was held Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Tillamook County is speaking with one voice, it carries weight,â&#x20AC;? county commission chair Mark Labhart suggested.

The only Federal â&#x20AC;&#x153;officialâ&#x20AC;? in attendance was staffperson Megan McKibben from Congressman Kurt Schraderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but State Senators Betsy Johnson (who represents north Tillamook County) and Arnie Roblan (south county) were there, as was State Rep. Deborah Boone (north county).

The South Jetty is losing 90 to 100 feet a year, Garibaldi port manager Kevin Greenwood told county commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serious safety issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. Port commission president Val Folkema seconded Greenwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting pretty close to a point of no return,â&#x20AC;? she said. Folkema expressed worry the deteriorating jetty might breach, posing a serious inundation threat.

Repairing the South Jetty is expected to cost $30 million.

(The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spent $18 million on the North Jetty in 2009, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix everything.) The first step is engineering, which Greenwood estimated would cost $600,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little down the lineâ&#x20AC;? on the Corps of Engineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; priority list, Greenwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commercial fishing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;metric.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have tuna, crab, and salmon,â&#x20AC;? Folkema added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not counted as commercial â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;widgets.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a Federal facility,â&#x20AC;?

Labhart emphasized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

Federal government needs to pay for it. We have to stop killing people.â&#x20AC;?

Second on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority list was building â&#x20AC;&#x153;backboneâ&#x20AC;? for Tillamook Lightwaveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiber-optic system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeking $500,000 to close the gap between South Prairie and Beaver,â&#x20AC;? Paul Levesque told commissioners.

Tillamook Lightwave is a consortium formed by Tillamook PUD, Tillamook County, and the Port of Tillamook Bay. Levesque is president of the organization.

Third was a request for $1 million from the City of Tillamook and the Tillamook Habitat and Estuary Improvement District (THEID) for repairs to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shilo leveeâ&#x20AC;? on the Wilson River, which runs behind the Latimer Quilt Center. The levee was built by the Corps of Engineers, and maintained by the Corps for years before being turned over to the county, THEIDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tilda Jones told commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It protects some high-value land north of Tillamook,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some of our best commercial land remaining,â&#x20AC;?

Tillamook city manager Paul Wyntergreen said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;particularly with the loss of the Safeway property.â&#x20AC;?

Proposals made to the county commissioners that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the top three were: From the City of Tillamook, for $3 million for restoration and flood control on Holden Creek.

From The Tillamook County Transportation District, for $200,000 for roof repairs to their building.

From the City of Wheeler, for $20,000 to bring the aging city hall into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Ace (ADA), which requires

Tillamook beats out defending 5A State Champs to earn title

Tillamook wrestlers celebrate after winning the Dallas Invitational, edging out last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5A State Champion Dallas Dragons among others.

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook wrestlers were coming off a second place finish in the Bearcat Invitational last weekend when they took their talent and toughness to Dallas on Jan. 12.

The Dallas meet has no shortage of talent with schools of all sizes coming to take their cracks at the championship. And the one thing the Dallas meet has no other meet can offer Tillamook is the fact that this particular meet is hosted by the defending 5A State Champion Dallas Dragons. That immediately makes it a tough place to win.

For Tillamook, tough is a far cry from being impossible and the Cheesemakers showed just what Tillamook toughness really is when they overcame the Dragons and the rest of the field to take first place and win the championship.

While winning a meet in the middle of the season isn't something Tillamook wrestlers get too crazy over, the way they won the meet had Tillamook head coach Lonnie Eggert in a good mood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that meet showed my guys are really get-

ting on track,â&#x20AC;? Eggert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wrestled very well from top to bottom. Varsity and JV guys.â&#x20AC;?

Tillamook needed that team effort to edge out second place Dallas. Tillamook only won the meet by 8.5 points. Tillamook had 324 points while Dallas had 315.5, Tualatin earned 208, McNary had 203.5 and Willamina earned 197 to round out the top five finishing teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are starting to come together and I think my guys can feel that we're kind of in the home stretch,â&#x20AC;? Eggert explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's always hard to get through the grind of December and now we can see the end in sight.â&#x20AC;?

There's no question Tillamook's past and current success has come from having great wrestlers. A lot of them. The Dallas meet was no different.

Logan Weeks, Ronald Allen, Jonas Ayala-Sanchez and Gabe Whitlatch all finished in fourth place for Tillamook. Jake Fowler, Drew Owens, Micha Kawano and Marcus Cheney took third place by winning their last match. Anthony Imel, Billy Prince and Jordan Thompson all wrestled for the championship, but had to settle for second.

Last but not least, for the second meet in a row, Tillamook freshman Justin Coon took the championship in his weight class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From what I saw this week, we're among the top teams we're going to face,â&#x20AC;? Eggert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In league Scappoose is going to challenge us, and Banks always has a few good wrestlers, but you can always expect that. I think our guys do and they're starting to step up to meet the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dallas is a good tournament and Dallas themselves are tough, but we got great effort top to bottom,â&#x20AC;? Eggert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team doesn't have clear cut number ones like we've had before, but we lost some dead weight from last season and top to bottom we're good and moving forward.â&#x20AC;?

After the Dallas meet win, Tillamook should be geared up for one of the biggest meets of the season next weekend. The Mook wrestlers will take their toughness to Oregon Classic in Redmond on Jan. 18 to take on 15 other teams in one of the hardest dual meets Tillamook will enter this season.

The Mook boys have played some excellent basketball teams so far this season. They took on No. 2 La Salle and played them well. They took on the defending State Champion Central Panthers and battled to the end, but fell. The rough road didn't get any easier this week when Tillamook hosted the 13-0, No. 1 Cascade Cougars on Jan. 11.

The game was extremely fast paced from the get go, with both teams racing up and down the floor. Cascade had a slight height advantage and a few kids with crazy leaping ability, but Tillamook looked to match up well.

At the end of the first quarter Tillamook only trailed by two at 16-14.

Cascade's offense got better in the second half while Tillamook's struggled to score. The Mooks didn't score until there were three minuets left in the quarter and went into half trailing 20-30.

Cascade didn't expand their lead much in the second half but Tillamook didn't close the gap much either. The fast pace and good defense continued, but eventually Cascade got the win, 60-45. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well versus Cascade with balanced scoring and pressure defense,â&#x20AC;? said Tillamook head coach Greg Werner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ability to break their press and keep spacing offensively allowed us to take high percentage shots which in turn helped our rebounding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David Waud and Jacob Hurliman both scored in double figures complimenting each other with excellent post play and Joey Hancock managed the entire game by keeping the floor spaced as well as directing traffic versus a top ranked team.â&#x20AC;?

The score of Tillamook's first Cowapa League against Scappoose will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com.

Their next game will on the road at Seaside on Jan. 18.

Pirates and Bobcats wrestle well at Pac Rim Through struggles, Pirates find scoring threat

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, January 16 - Page A11

The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates and the Nestucca Bobcats both headed to Seaside on Jan. 1819 to try their hands in Seaside's annual Pack Rim tournament.

Neither Tillamook County team had a completely full roster which hurt them both in team scoring, but both teams had good individuals who placed well. That's a impressive feat for the smaller schools considering they're stacking up against 16 other schools of various sizes from around the state.

For the Pirates, Lucas Underhill finished in seventh place in the 160 pound class.

RICH ROMIG PHOTO

Matt Clayton finished in fifth place in the 120 pound class.

Matt Clayton finished in fifth place in the 120 pound class and Logan Romig was the Pirates top finisher. Romig took third place at 132 pounds.

“We wrestled well,” said Pirate wrestling coach Don Zellner. “We're coming along as a team.

“Logan led a kid from Madras 9-0 before eventually pinning him. That kid beat Logan 4-1 three weeks ago.

Logan wasn't the only one. I was pleased with how well the kids performed.”

Nestucca Wrestling The Bobcats finished in the middle of the pack as a team, but they had one competitor that took his talents all the way to the top.

Sam Kenagy won his first tournament title in his high school career. Kenagy was wrestling heavyweight and made it all the way to the final match of the entire tournament where he faced off against the hometown Seaside wrestler for the title. Kenagy, the No. 3 seed, had already upset the No. 2 seed in the semifinals before he pinned the hometown hero in on the biggest stage of the event.

“Sam showed some emotion after that one and it was good,” said Bobcat head coach Cameron Mitchem. “I loved it even more since Sam beat a kid from not only the host team, but my old high school too,” Mitchem added.

Other Bobcats wrestling well were brothers Lucas and Ryan Leslie. Lucas fought all the way to the finals in the 152 pound class only to lose 3-1 to an Estacada wrestler. Little brother Ryan Leslie took fifth place at 125 pounds and according to his coach, wrestled extremely well.

“Ryan wrestled his best

match of the year to win fifth place,” Mitchem said. “He used his legs better and wrestled a complete match.

“With Ryan we see flashes of his potential and what he's capable of. Then he makes a freshman mistake, but he'll get there.”

Mitchem knows his kids are lacking experience more than anything, but he likes the direction they're going.

“This is my least experienced group in five years coaching here at Nestucca,” Mitchem explained. “But, my older guys are getting wins and everyone seems to be coming along. Guys are getting themselves in position to win big matches we just have to win ‘em now.”

The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirate boys basketball team was looking at a busy week when they had three games in five days starting with Faith Bible on the road, then Portland Christian at home and finishing up with Knappa on the road. The Pirates fought hard and scored more points in the three games than any three game stretch all season, but they were unable to get a win all week, despite getting some record setting scoring games from a freshman that wasn't even on varsity roster to start the season.

Tillamook’s Alcaraz looks to defend FCFF title on Jan. 19 Headlight Herald Sports

On Jan. 19 one of Tillamook's very own will be defending his super heavyweight title belt at the Full Contact Fighting Federation (FCFF), “Rumble at the Roseland” at the Roseland Theater in Portland.

Ricky Alcaraz graduated from Tillamook High School in 2005. He wrested for Tillamook for two years and qualified for state, but never placed.

Alcaraz began learning to box at Tillamook Boxing Club from trainer Walter Decambra and has been successful ever since.

He fought his first ever FCFF fight back in June here in Tillamook, which he won. That victory earned him another fight on Sept. 29

which he also won to earn the title belt.

Now, Alcaraz will be defending that belt for the first time against Brandon Flint from Aloha at the Rumble at the Roseland.

“The Tillamook wrestling coaches completely taugh me everything I know about wrestling,” Alcaraz said. “They turned me around and the mental aspect of their training has applied in everything I do in life.”

Alcaraz has used his training to push his limits by competing in Ironman competitions, short distance triathlons as well as Strongman competitions.

His FCFF career only consists of two fights as of now, but he's won them both and he attributed that to

the Tillamook Boxing club and Mook Wrestling.

“Walt is a very positive guy and he taught me how to box,” Alcaraz said. “I can hold my own on my feet because of him. He's an awesome person and I always go work out with him when I'm in Tillamook to get a touch up on my boxing.”

Alcaraz has come a long way from his former home in Tillamook, but he's still thankful for the support from his hometown.

“I appreciate the support Tillamook Wrestling and Tillamook Boxing Club have given me and the support from friends in town,” Alcaraz said. “All the success I've had is because of them. It's only a little success, but at least there's some.”

Lady Cats keep showing improvement Sputting Bobcats getting slow start stand how to run the plays on offense,” Thompson said. “We need to make better passes, but we're getting there and I think we're looking forward to every game because we keep getting better.”

Headlight Herald Sports

Nestucca's Lady Bobcats are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were when they started the season and they had opportunity to continue getting better when they played three games last week. A league game at home against Vernonia followed by a non-league game at Toledo and then back into league play at Gaston.

Lady Cats vs Vernonia The Nestucca Lady Bobcats hosted the high powered Vernonia Lady Loggers in Cloverdale on Jan. 8.

Vernonia was coming off a commanding victory over Neah-Kah-Nie after which Lady Pirate coach Corey Douma said he thought Vernonia might be the best team in the league. The Lady Loggers continued their dominance against Nestucca.

The Bobcats were struggling for scoring early in the game and only mustered four points at halftime. The Cats trailed 19-4 going into the third, but their offense did improve in the second half.

The Lady Cats scored over triple their first half points in the second half, ending the game with 13. Unfortunately the Loggers continued scoring too and got the win, 47-13.

Toledo to face off against a good Boomers team.

“The girls worked hard,” said Lady Cat coach Yazminn Thompson. “I felt like we really fell in our shooting. I talked to the girls after the game and they agreed. We're going to spend a lot of practice time this week working on our form and taking plenty more shots.”

Nestucca couldn't seem to get the ball in the hoop even when they did get decent looks at the basket and the Boomers didn't have the same issues.

Toledo got the win, 38-16.

“The girls know and under-

Nestucca @ Gaston The last game of the week for Nestucca on Jan. 12, the Lady Cats headed to Gaston to play the last of their first half of league play.

“The game against Gaston was our best game of the year,” Thompson said. “We made crisp passes all game long.”

The game was competitive until the third quarter where the Greyhounds jumped out front.

A big part of that was Jasmine Boisa fouling out.

“I didn't agree with the calls against Jasmine, but life isn't fair,” Thompson said. “Another heavy blow was Monica Chatelain fouling out in the fourth quarter.”

The shorthanded Cats did what they could in the second half, but the Greyhounds hit six threes in the game, keeping them out front from start to finish.

Gaston got the win, 53-33.

“I think we've come a long way already and I love how we get better every game,” Thompson added.

The Lady Cats will get a chance to keep improving when they host Riverdale on Jan. 18 at 6 p.m..

Tillamook girls still looking for answers Headlight Herald Sports

The Lady Mooks had a tough week when they traveled to Gladstone on Jan. 8 then hosted the Cascade Cougars on Jan. 11. Tillamook battled in both games, especially in the second halves. Unfortunately the first have holes they dug in each game ended up being too deep to climb out of.

Tillamook @ Gladstone Gladstone jumped out to an early lead and ended up carrying a 19 point lead into halftime.

“We actually played well enough to win the game,” said Tillamook head coach Danielle Weber. “The biggest difference was they hit a bunch of three pointers at the end of the first half and extended their lead, but we had our weapons going too.”

Tillamook's biggest weapon was once again Keleigh Hoopes and she didn't disappoint scoring 28 points in the game and collecting 11 rebounds. 14 of those points came in the third quarter.

“In the first half Keleigh was shooting from the outside, but at halftime I told her I didn't want her to leave the block down low and they never double teamed her,” Weber said.

Tillamook fought from behind the entire second half, but couldn't regain the lead and eventually were beaten, 63-40.

“At one point we cut the lead to five points in the second half and the girls realized if they keep playing hard anything can happen,” Weber added.

Tillamook vs Cascade There's no nice way to explain how the first half went for Tillamook when Cascade came to town. The truth is Tillamook didn't score until Taylor Woods made two free throws with 6:26 left in the second quarter and Cascade was sitting on a 22-0 lead before that. Tillamook only managed eight more points in the second quarter but trailed 40-10 at halftime on their home floor.

“We went to half and I talked to the girls about how they wanted to end the game and leave the floor,” Weber said. “This was going to be the last time we'd walk off the floor before league and I wanted them to feel good about it.”

The second half was a completely different basketball

game. Tillamook ran their offense like they wanted to and they outscored Cascade 20 to 30 in the second half.

Hooked ended with 15 well earned points while Woods had 10, Hammond had eight points and Jamie Kottre grabbed 11 rebounds.

Save the first half, Tillamok played great, but the first half does count and Tillamook fell, 63-40.

“The thing I loved about the

Cascade game was I felt like my girls won the hustle battle,” Weber explained. “At one point in the second we had four girl diving on the floor after lose balls at once.”

The score of Tillamook's first league game against Scappoose on Jan. 15 will be available at tillamokheadlightherald.com. Their following game will be a road league game at Seaside on Jan. 18.

The Bobcat boys were up against stiff competition when the Vernonia Loggers came to Cloverdale to face off in a Northwest League game between two solid teams. on Jan. 8.

The Loggers started out a little faster than the Bobcats and took a 16-8 lead after the first quarter, but Vernonia cooled quickly.

The Bobcats forced a lot of poor passes from the Loggers in the second quarter and kept the game close. The Cats still trailed by 9 at halftime, 27-18.

The Bobcats bounced back in the second half with a good third quarter and put some pressure on Vernonia. The Bobcats cut the lead to seven at 39-32 and the end of the third.

“We played better in the JOSIAH DARR PHOTO second half and it turned out Joey Chatelain has been a conto one of the more exciting sistent scorer for Nestucca all games of the season,” said season.

The Cats trailed 23-16 at half, only trailing by seven thanks to good defense.

In the third quarter, Gaston took more control and outscored the Bobcats by 10 to take a 17 point lead into the fourth quarter. A deficit that seemed insurmountable, but somewhere the Bobcats found a little more life in the fourth.

“It was like we flipped a switch,” Kiser said. “We started getting up and down the floor and played the fourth quarter like we were angry.

We had guys hitting the floor and diving all over. Their physical play didn't' dictate us anymore.

“Too bad the third quarter pretty much killed us.”

Gaston held on to their lead despite a fired up fourth from Nestucca to get the win, 4735.

This time it was Elder that led the team in scoring with 11. Chatelain had nine and Woods added 8 of his own.

With the first half of league play in the books, the Bobcats will look to improve in the second half. They'll have that chance when they host Riverdale on Jan. 18 at 7 :30 p.m.

he daily question in our house lately has been, did it snow yet? Our daughter just can't understand why it has not snowed yet, but after a trip to Fred Meyer’s in Tillamook it did give a little hope to looking forward to spring, after rounding the corner for the doors and seeing the beautiful flowers they had outside. After explaining that the flowers won't be able to bloom if it snows, she is now OK with a little snow so the flowers can come out. So we'll see.

I was informed a couple of days ago about Lana Woods passing away, with not being able to post it in the last column, I would still like to let everyone know of her passing and that there was a memorial service for her on Sunday January 13th at the Pine Grove Community House at 1:00 p.m. This was a potluck, for the celebration of her

Betty's father, George Hippert, owned a fishing boat and was gone on fishing trips a lot. Times were poor here in Cape Meares. I often wonder how the families here got by. There were deer (no elk on this side of the mountain at that time). People ate bear meat, fished, ate certain ducks and rabbits were plentiful. Some of the people did raise gardens and people were good to share and help one another. My mom had a wringer type Maytag washing machine. She helped one of the families in Bayocean to get the family wash done and in return we were given deer meat and fish.

It's very quiet here after the busy holidays. Of course, the rain has been never ending except for those 3 or 4 days recently of sun when the temperature warmed up for a spell.

We've had lots of hail and this morning we had another hailstorm. I was about to plant some bulbs but decided not to when the hail started pounding against the windows. Just as well I didn't get to plant the bulbs as something dug up the bulbs I did plant. Must be the raccoons. I don't see squirrels or chipmunks this time of year, but those raccoons are always around.

I heard that a big old growth tree fell along the path to the Big Spruce tree. To see it take the trailhead path at entrance road to the lighthouse parking lot. Gra-

ham and Michele Kinsman saw the tree and estimated the root system was 30 feet high. Those trees don't have a taproot and when they come down there are many roots close to the surface where there is lots of moisture. The tree did not seem to have rot in it, but it is sure a sight to see. I haven't seen it myself but I know that Sitka Spruce grow huge in the protected old growth forest.

I'm looking forward to the Nea-Rock Garden Club potluck and gift exchange on January 16, 2013. Meet at PUD parking lot at 11:15 a.m. and carpool at 11:30 a.m. to Merle and Dennis Wine's house in Bay City. I haven't talked to anyone except by phone and anxious to hear what news there is after New Years. Maybe some people made New Year's Resolutions. I intend to do as last year and Christmas shop when I see something I can buy and keep until Christmas to give. It sure helped me get my Christmas shopping done this year. I did not have the time to spend hours and hours shopping right after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving here with Portland kids and Christmas here with Tillamook kids kept me real busy. I was surprised to receive so many cards and letters at Christmas. Good to hear from those people once a year and keep up.

(John is also in charge of the fireworks, and Ev for getting the go-karts), and Mayor Sue McCarthy will be in charge of sanitation.

There will be Garibaldi Days T-shirts – we don’t have a design yet. Sweatshirts, though, will have a more generic “Garibaldi” design, because they tend to sell year-round. And we’ll be trying to get the fish tank back: that was a hit with the kids (and their parents) last year.

Right now, the crew that’s involved in putting Garibaldi Days together is very small, and it needs to get bigger. Quickly.

This is an event that relies entirely on volunteers to make it work.

Can you help with any of this?

Leave word with John or Mary or Sue at City Hall (503/3223327). The Garibaldi Days Committee’s next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 10 a.m. in the City Council chambers, Garibaldi City hall.

Do come.

Remember that Monday, Jan. 21 is a Federal holiday – Martin Luther King Day –and City Hall, the Port offices, the library, the post office, and the bank will all

be closed. The Garibaldi City Council, which normally meets on the third Monday, will meet the next night instead – Tuesday, Jan. 22 – because of the holiday.

The Garibaldi Port Commission’s appointment of Paul Daniels (Jan. 9) to the vacancy on the Port Commission created when Dave May resigned in December creates a vacancy on the Port’s Budget committee; Paul had been one of the “civilian” members of the committee.

The Port Commission does need to appoint another “civilian” pretty quickly to replace Paul; their “pre-budget” meeting, in which they review and prioritize the Port’s capital improvement projects, happens around the beginning of March. (The Budget Committee’s actual meeting doesn’t happen until the beginning of May.) The Port of Garibaldi has a pretty far-flung territory, stretching from Juno Hill on the south to Nedonna Beach on the north; if you live in that territory, you’re eligible to serve on the Budget Committee.

Contact port manager Kevin Greenwood at 503/322-3292 for details.

hanks to Joani Moore for word that the Library Thrift Shop, in Pacific City, has done very well this year.

Though she’s tight lipped with the specifics, her e-mail proclaimed that manager Cheryl Trent was able to reach her 2012 sales goal.

Joani emphasized the Library Board’s thanks to the community “for all the great donations and also for shopping” at the thrift store which is located at 6335 Ferry in Street Pacific City. I was especially impressed when I was at the shop last weekend with the tidy and well organized presentation of the hoard; I very nearly came home with three pairs of ballet flats all in my size. Open hours are from 114:00 Mondays through Saturdays. For more information call 503-965-7013.

Nesko Women’s Club will meet at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, January 18 at Hudson House

Member and writer, Diane Robinson will present the program, "Writing from a Sensory Point of View.” A two-night stay at The Chelan in Neskowin will be raffled to benefit their Scholarship Fund. Lunch is $12.00 and any south Tillamook County woman is invited to attend. Call Judie Rubert at 542-760-2389 for a reservation.

Ielean Rouse reports that Tony Owen, Pacific City Joint Water Sanitary Authority Manager will be the featured speaker when the Pacific City-Woods CPAC meets at 6:30 p.m. next Monday, January 21 at Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City; the community is welcome to attend.

The Department of Land Conservation and Development will begin a process for selecting sites and adopting rules and regulations for ocean energy development along the Oregon Coast next week. They’ll hold a Public Rulemaking Hearing at 4:00 on Tuesday, January 22 at Newport Public Library. For more information on Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan visit oregonocean.info.

to these tremendous results for students and I would encourage the state to make investments in educators a priority,” said Oregon Senator Betsy Johnson.

Sue Hildick, Chalkboard Project President, commented, “Oregon’s current graduation rate is unacceptable, but there is reason to be hopeful. Through the School District Collaboration Fund the state is beginning to make the type of CLASSlike investments in educator effectiveness that have been shown to positively impact student outcomes. If the state is serious about providing the best educational experience possible for all students, it will need to grow this investment.”

Randy Schild, Tillamook School District Superintendent, added, “The CLASS Project helped Tillamook focus on high-quality instruction in every classroom, every day. Our teachers have been able to improve their skills through staff development directed at

meeting the needs of each individual student. As a result of this focused work, we are seeing graduation rates well above the state average, but Tillamook won’t be satisfied until every student gets a diploma.”

CLASS provides teachers the opportunity to collaborate on plans for teacher professional growth and success tailored to local needs. Teachers create for themselves what every professional deserves: a clear career path, opportunities for feedback, relevant and individualized training, and recognition for leadership and results.

CLASS is designed and led by teachers for teachers, on the ground, one school district at a time. All districts build upon the same framework, but each district designs differently with the needs of their staff and students in mind. As the Chalkboard Project’s largest initiative, 23 districts, reaching about 30% of students in Oregon, have participated in CLASS.

move their monthly meeting time and place to 6:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday, at the Beaver Fire Hall, 20055 Blaine Road in Beaver, effective in February. It’s their hope that members who couldn’t regularly attend due to employment or competing Wednesday commitments will now be able to join in. Kay summarized their hopes, “It is our goal to support the programs that benefit our Veterans and their families while promoting true patriotism.”

Speaking of February’s calendar, mark yours now for a Senior SAFE Carnival happening from 1-3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 16 at Nestucca Valley Elementary School. The event will benefit a graduation party for Nestucca’s class of 2013 and will include a raffle that includes two loads of gravel, two halves of beef, and a cord of firewood, among other coveted prizes.

Graduation rates are improving in Tillamook The Chalkboard Project is sharing hopeful news about the graduation rates in CLASS districts. Oregon has begun investing in CLASS-like work through Senate Bill 252, the School District Collaboration Fund.

Between 2008-09 and 201011, the first group of CLASS districts improved its cohort graduation rate by 5 percentage points and the second group improved its rate by 3.8 percentage points. During the same time, the rest of the state only improved by 0.9 percentage point.

“The improvements in the Tillamook School District since their implementation of CLASS have been phenomenal. Their graduation rate since 2008-09 has increased 9 percentage points. If Oregon as a whole were to increase its graduation rate by the same amount, we would be firmly out of the bottom of the pack. I’ve seen how empowering educators can lead

y dear friend, and Rockaway Beach resident, volunteer medical/firefighter, Lynda Holm, is safely back from assisting the Red Cross.

She was working out of New Jersey from Hoboken to Atlantic City and as far south as the tip of Cape May. And some days she was sent to the Barrier Islands and Rockaway Beach, New York.

But, she still managed to plan a glamorous and glitzy New Year's Eve party for her friends and family. When I walked into the hall, glittering shades of silver and gold sparkled and danced on the walls ceilings and floors.

Friends talked, ate and danced the evening away.

She always adds a touch of class to all her events!

This is a little message to the clients of Pampered Pets: friends of Helen Annen are having a retirement reception for her in the dining hall at St. Mary's by the Sea. This event will be January 19th from 1-3. No gifts, but your doggies are encouraged to send a card with their sweet bow-wows of thanks. Helen has had over 200 regular clients, so be sure to RSVP to Anne McBride at 503 355 3195. (Arf from "Sugar," Louann's pup.)

I'm sure Helen will be missed after serving our community for 17 years. But Pampered Pets will still be in business. New

appy January everyone! Things around here are starting to get into full swing again after the holidays. Bay City Boosters are meeting the last Friday of each month at 11:30 so be sure and join us for some fun and great food. Guitar lessons are starting each Thursday evening at 7 pm at the Bay City Methodist Church led by Dr. Ben Douglas. All ages are invited to come and learn or if you already know how please feel free to bring your guitar and play along with us. Still no word from Bay City Arts Center so hopefully something will be starting there soon. If you know of anything else going on around town please email me with the particulars at least two weeks in advance and I would be more than happy to include your event here.

A great resolution this year--I know, it's a few weeks past, but better late than never, is a commitment to reach out to the elderly in our community. A little touch, warmth, food or even just a visit can mean so much. We truly need to value the elderly in our lives.

A Twin Rocks resident has come across several treasures on her beach walks. On the morning of the 23rd of December, at low tide, she found a small shark. Then the next day, she found and photographed an 18" shark. It was found late in the evening, also at low tide. Lastly, she found a container, which was possibly tsunami debris. It was a heavy, sealed Yamaha box. She thought perhaps Santa accidentally dropped it, as it was Christmas morning she found it.

By the time the Coast Guard arrived to remove it, it had disappeared. And lastly, she found and photographed bear tracks on the beach. The photos are on the City of Rockaway Beach's Facebook page.

Now, anyone that wants to report tsunami debris may call 211 or 1-800-SAFENET. There are several debris drop-off locations, but the closest I could find is the Manzanita Transfer station. You can also take the debris to a state park but only if it is in a SOLVE beach cleanup bag. Don't touch the debris if it appears to be hazardous, such as oil or chemical drums, gas cans or propane tanks.

I have another reminder for those long cold and rainy Saturday nights. Bingo is at the Lions Club from 6-10pm. Be sure to join the fun and play a few games!

• Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.

• Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.

• Keep your lights and windshield clean.

• Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.

• Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.

• Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.

• Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind.

• Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.

Our neighbors of Bay City that have currently moved to Griffin House (past Alderbrook golf course) are Ken Beebehiser and Myra Steirnberg, we hope both of you are having an easier time of things there and blessings and prayers go out to you. Visitors are welcome so if you know either of these community members please stop by and see them or send a card.

And that is it for this week, have a great rest of the week and see you around town.

Red alders in western Oregon T

he tree I have chosen to learn for the month of January is the red alder (Alnus rubra). It will be first on my New Year’s Resolution List of learning an Oregon deciduous tree a month for the entire year. I figure that if I pick an easy one to start with, I will be more likely to continue the resolution. And I thought we might like to learn together, so here’s what I have found out so far.

“Red alder is the most common broadleaf tree in western Oregon.” This quote is right out of the handy guide Trees to Know in Oregon. In the back of my mind, I remembered that Oregon State had published this handy guide and I was lucky enough to find a copy on my shelf at home. But you can also find updated versions at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook for under $20.

Of the eight species of alders native to North America, Oregon has four: red alder, white alder, Sitka alder, and thinleaf alder. But only the red and white commonly reach tree size, with red alder being the most widespread. The red alder can grow to 120 feet tall and can have a trunk diameter of three feet. I know this sounds quite large, but we have two giant alders that are very old and almost three feet in diame-

GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT

ter in our yard, so I can attest to the size. Alders like the cool, moist atmospheres of the coastal forests and will often grow in dense stands. They are aggressive seeders and grow quickly from their one-inch, medium brown, woody “cones” (called strobiles), and reach old age in about 100 years.

Because red alders like the coastal forests, they are rarely found above 2500 feet or east of the Cascade Mountains. The alders we see in the Cascades and in the Willamette Valley are generally white alders.

Red alders shed their leaves while they are still green, which has an added benefit of returning lots of nutrients to the soil surrounding their base. The roots of the alder also contain nodules that are filled with bacteria that capture nitrogen from the air for use by the trees.

When the roots die, this nitro-

gen is also returned to the soil, increasing the soil’s nutrients and thus, the tree’s productivity.

Now, how do we tell a red alder from other trees when we are walking in the woods?

First, we must know where we are. If we are walking in a coastal forest, that’s the important clue. If we are walking in Eastern Oregon, we know we can eliminate certain trees, red alder being the most obvious for the sake of this column.

Since we live on the coast, let’s say we are walking in a coastal forest.

Step two: how tall is the tree? If it is 40 to 80 feet tall with a single trunk, it will be an alder. Since we are in a coastal forest, it will be a red alder. If the tree is under 25 feet, and perhaps has multiple trunks, it is probably a Sitka or thinleaf alder, but only if we are in the Willamette Valley on our hike.

Step three: if the tree still has leaves, it will be easier. Red alder leaves are simple (meaning one leaf per stem), and they are alternately placed on the branch. They are oval and about 3 to 6 inches long, with margins doubly serrated with each large tooth having many smaller teeth on it. The leaves are also tightly rolled under which forms a distinct green rim on the back of each leaf.

(White alder leaves do not have

rolled edges.) The veins are very straight and form from a main vein down the center of the leaf.

If there are no leaves, maybe because we are hiking in late winter, we can still look at the bark to identify the tree.

Red alder bark is smooth and gray-white, but with black, blotchy patches. In a symbiotic relationship, small scale-like lichens grow on the bark which adds to the white effect. This won’t be the case on young alders, though, as the lichens grow on older specimens.

These young alders have a greenish bark instead. When the sapwood is exposed to air, it will turn a reddish color, giving this specie’s its name.

Another clue: Rubra, this species’ botanical name, means “red” in Latin.

Alder has become a very important tree as an economic resource, partly due to its rapid growth and partly because of the vast forests it inhabits.

Large, straight logs are used in furniture and cabinetry and smaller branches or logs can be used for making small toys or carvings, as firewood, or as pulp for making paper. No wonder this is a good tree to learn.

Next month, I will choose another important Oregon tree for us to learn about.

NOTES FROM THE COAST Sand Lake is funnier than you think

F

or the first half of my life, I tried to be cool. For the second half, I’ve tried to be funny. Funny is easier.

See photo.

Republicans are funnier than Democrats but don’t know it. Democrats mean to be funny, but they’re too busy laughing at Republicans, like in the comics when the guy in a top hat steps on a banana peel. If that isn’t funny, you’re a Republican.

Sometimes funny is easy, like the Sand Lake Rules for Riding Off-Highway Vehicles, OHV’s, you know, those four-wheel motorcycles that run up and down sand dunes?

Funny is unexpected. To begin with, Sand Lake isn’t a lake. It’s an estuary. Unexpected. See? Already funny. Over the years the elements wore down some of The Cascade Mountains, and they ended up at Sand Lake. If you were a mountain, right now you’d be laughing so hard you’d be holding your boulders.

If you want to ride at Sand Lake first get an OHV Education Card. Like, that’s going to happen. That’s what you would do if you’re female. If you’re male, the first thing you’re going to do is buy enough OHV’s,

trailer, and RV’s to equal the cost of college for your kids. We’re not to the funny part yet.

After you’ve spent all this money, you find you can’t just go to the beach and ride the sand the way God meant you to. In Oregon, you can ride in two designated areas, Sand Lake and Oregon Dunes. Remember, the SCHUBERT rules say, in addition to the OHV permit, the SiusMOORE law National Forest also requires recreation permits for campgrounds and day-use staging areas. You probably don’t think this is funny, either. The rest of us do, but then we haven’t spent $200K. We probably should mention curfew. It’s safe to say you’re not going to be riding before 6:00 a.m., but after midnight and that tenth beer and the moon’s out, the temptation to ride along the beach is great, which is how much the fine is.

Campers in dispersed areas must have and use a portable toilet. Think about it. No, let’s not.

Sound levels at Sand Lake are 97 decibels and since ear damage doesn’t start until 100 that gives you three decibels to play with, considerably louder than the blender making your margaritas.

Oops. No booze allowed at Sand Lake.

Really stiff fines. Isn’t this a riot? Maybe that’s why on Sunday nights trying to get to my house alive is like playing a video game where I’m supposed to miss the zigzagging caravans.

Some of the most common violations are no helmets under age 18, with chinstrap.

Let’s just pause here and insert some OHV blog postings: kamikaze – I've heard if you aren't careful you can get hurt at Sand Lake. A guy I knew that worked for the sheriff's office says they have one decapitation a year usually. My boss’ wife was on jury duty and the defendant had jumped his Bronco onto a guy riding an OHV. Landed right on top of him. Didn’t have a chance. dirtmama59 – Got to be careful out there. Now if I just had more HORSEPOWER!!!

We’re to the funny part. During a decapitation, does the chin strap really matter?

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T YOU WANT TO TAKE ME HOME?

ENERGETIC AND FUN Rusty is a 6-year-old Irish terrier with all the energy and fun of his breed.

Friendly and smart, he still needs some training to make him a house dog since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly lived outdoors. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning. He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great with other dogs, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be best in a home with no competition. Neutered and current with shots, Rusty, appropriately named because of his color, will make a great addition to an active family that will give him the exercise he needs.

Adopt anytime: contact Maria at 503-812-0105 or tillamookanimalshelter@gmail.com Or come to the United Paws/Tillamook Animal Shelter (KVW[H[OVU Â&#x2039; :H[\YKH` 1HU 5VVU W T ;PSSHTVVR *V\U[` -HPYNYV\UKZ / +VYT ;OPYK :[YLL[

Service is seeking public comment on the Preliminary analysis for the proposed East Dunes Campground Project located within the Sand Lake Recreation Area. This project is guided by the Siuslaw Forest Plan, as amended by the Northwest Forest Plan.

The goal of the project is to maintain recreational camping opportunities at the Sand Lake Recreation Area.

The project proposes to add 20 additional campsites at the East Dunes Campground to replace those lost at the Sandbeach Campground due to storms and erosion.

The Environmental assessment can be viewed at http://www.fs.fed.us/nep a/fs-usdapop.php/?project=3988 6 , or by contacting the Hebo Ranger District.

The opportunity to comment ends 30 days following the date of publication of the legal notice in the Tillamook Headlight Herald, which is expected on January 23, 2013. The decision that will be made for this project is subject to appeal pursuant to

Forest Service regulations at 36 CFR 215. Appeals must meet the content requirements of 36 CFR 215.14.

Only individuals or organizations who submitted comments or expressed an interest in the project during the comment period may appeal.

Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, those who only submit anonymous comments will not have standing to appeal the subsequent decision under 36 CFR Part 215.

Comments received through the U.S. Postal Service must be postmarked no later than the end of the 30day comment period.

All other comments, including e-mail, fax, and personal delivery must be received by COB (4:00 p.m.) at the Hebo Ranger District office by the end of the 30-day comment period.

It is the responsibility of all individuals and organizations to ensure their comments are received in a timely manner.

For electronically mailed comments, the sender
