Lemery passes the gavel

Man gets 37 years for child sex abuse

Joel Stevens sworn in as new Justice of the Peace

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

Matthew James Hamilton, 35, of Tillamook, was sentenced to 37 years in prison Dec. 26 for sexually abusing a child under the age of 12 more than 100 times, over a period of at least 6 years, beginning when she was four or five MATTHEW years old.

HAMILTON Hamilton was convicted on 138 counts of sexually abusing a child, including sodomy in the first degree, unlawful sexual penetration, sex abuse in the first degree and using a child in a display of sexual conduct in the first degree.

Jessica’s Law, which took effect in 2007, applied to three of the charges, carrying with it mandatory sentencing requirements of 300 months per offense.

Retiring Judge Neal Lemery (left) literally passes the gavel to new Justice of the Peace Joel Stevens.

On Jan. 2 Joel Stevens will be sworn in as Tillamook County’s newest Justice of the Peace.

Stevens will receive the gavel from retiring Judge Neal Lemery, who has presided over Justice Court for 12 years. The Headlight Herald caught up with the two judges and asked about the office of Justice of the Peace, and what it means to the community.

Judge Lemery has been an attorney for 32 years; he’s worked as a defense attorney and he’s been the District Attorney. “I’ve sat in every chair in criminal justice in this county,” Lemery said, “and Justice of the Peace was my favorite by far.”

“What I’ve gotten out of this job,” said

Lemery, “is the amazing sense of trust by the community, to say, ‘We trust you to figure this out.’ It’s humbling.”

The Justice Court is the judicial branch of county government, and processes citations issued by law enforcement agencies for traffic violations, boating violations, fish and game violations, state and county parks violations, county ordinances, and city ordinances for the cities of Tillamook, Garibaldi and Bay City.

The court also hears small claims cases involving claims up to $10,000, and eviction actions between landlords and tenants. The Justice of the Peace performs weddings at the courthouse and throughout Tillamook County.

Vigil for the Innocents

2012

REVIEW

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

With respect to 2012, it’s tempting to echo the Grateful Dead: “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” The year started with a bang, with the announcement that the Tillamook Cheese Factory was outsourcing its packaging departments to companies in Idaho and Utah, eliminating 50 local jobs; the CEO left the company later, and was replaced by a new boss from Portland, but the jobs never returned. Tillamook County got 30 “new” tsunami sirens from the Umatilla Army Depot, never installed them, and by the end of the year was decommissioning tsunami sirens altogether.

State plans to “zone the ocean” became controversial once wave energy generating facilities were proposed in fishing grounds and what people felt were their front yards.

We elected a CPA as county commissioner, and a young sheriff who likes surfing. We milked cows with robots, and generated electricity from cow manure. We got new tsunami inundation maps, and had lots of tsunami drills. We had snow – twice. There were a lot of charitable events; perhaps the most visible was the “Rockaway 2 Rockaway” dinner and concert to help Rockaway Beach’s “sister city” in New York after Hurricane Sandy.

Rainy Day Books closed, and the world did not apparently end on December 21, like the Mayans had reportedly predicted. On Dec. 22, Tillamook County – and all of us – appeared to still be here.

Pacific City group mourns deaths at Sandy Hook

BY SAMANTHA SWINDLER sswindler@countrymedia.net

ACIFIC CITY – On a cold but still clear Friday evening, a group of a half-dozen people gathered around the Christmas tree at the blinking intersection light. They brought luminary bags and an assortment of decorative candles to place near the base of the tree. They fought the wind, lighting dozens of candles. They shared their thoughts on hope in the face of unspeakable violence.

The vigil marked Holy Innocents Day – also called Childermas or Children’s Mass. The day is celebrated by Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians and other Orthodox Christian churches to commemorate, according to the book of Matthew, the day King Herod ordered all the young children of Bethlehem murdered. According to the story, Herod had heard the prophesy that the King of Kings had been born, and he sought to kill Jesus, whom he feared would one day take his throne.

This year, though, many communities used the day to honor the children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

On Dec. 14, a 20-year-old armed gunman forced his way into the Newtown, Conn. school, and killed 20 children and six adult staff before taking his own life.

Proposed weapons ban causes run on local sales

BY JOSIAH DARR sports@orcoastnews.com

In a Dec. 19 speech, President Obama urged Congress to vote on measures banning the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines as well as requiring background checks before any firearm sale. The speech was part of an emerging White House response to a massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.

In reaction to President

Obama’s speech, Americans worried about the ability to obtain firearms that fit into this definition are buying up the very popular AR-15 rifle and the .223 caliber cartridges it shoots. According to Tillamook Sporting Goods owner Ben Hathaway, this same run on specific items has happened at his store as well.

“The 7.625x39 and the .223 ammo is completely gone and we’re on backorder for any more,” Hathaway said.

“There’s a little more of a run

The AR-15 rifle and high capacity magazines.

on ammo than the actual guns.

People are coming in and getting arm fulls of 9mm and .45

calibers shells too. A lot of people are afraid of U.N. Protocol which is the same type of situa-

tion that was signed in British Columbia and Canada. People are afraid of more restrictions.”

While Hathaway’s store is being bought out on certain products, it’s not the first time in recent history he’s seen this type of reaction by gun owners.

“I saw this when Obama was first elected but not to this dimension,” Hathaway said. “It was probably only 25 to 50 percent of this. What we have now is chaos.”

“I saw on the TV that other towns were doing things,” said organizer of the Pacific City vigil, Pat Bush. “And I thought, Pacific City is such a wonderful place to be, and there’s only like 800, 900 people here, it ought to be simple. Well, it wasn’t.”

Bush said she contacted area churches and businesses about the event. She placed a notice in the Headlight Herald community calendar. The turnout was small. But those who came were deeply moved.

“It’s a tragedy what happened to all those kids,” said Grace Mick. “It’s a tragedy, all of the violence that’s been going on. And my own little sister was raped and murdered, so when it comes to violence to little innocents, I feel for it...”

Mick explained briefly that her sister was murdered many years ago, in Seattle, before speaking again about both Sandy Hook and the mall shooting in Clackamas Town Center on Dec. 11.

“You feel bad that someone got so upset and didn’t have, in their own mind, a different way of expressing their anger and their pain,” she said. “We need to do things to help people who have problems... If you’re sick you go see a doctor, but in our society we don’t encourage people as much as we should to get the help they need. There’s so much stigma attached to psychological problems

and emotional problems.”

Bush worked for close to 30 years as a teacher with kindergartners and first graders.

She said she was devastated over the news of Sandy Hook.

During the vigil, Bush read a few prepared remarks.

“Matthew 19:14 said ‘Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of heaven,’” she said. “It is good to be here together as a community to offer prayers for children, teachers and family killed at Sandy Hook and also our local mall tragedy. It is hoped it will erase the ache at our home as well, because this is the Day of the Innocents.”

Melanie Merryman, who attended the vigil, also works with children as an instructional aide at Nestucca Valley Elementary School.

“It was a small thing that I could do to honor the families and celebrate the gratitude for I have for doing what I do and living where I live,” she said. “It’s kind of a bittersweet thing.”

Another attendee, Jeanette Miller, read the names of the 26 people killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

In closing, the group sang “Jesus Loves the Little Children” and the third verse of “Away in a Manger” with slightly altered

Judge Lemery has performed 1800 weddings; Judge Stevens has his first wedding coming up in January.

Stevens has been with the Tillamook County District Attorney’s Office for four years; prior to moving to Tillamook he worked as a defense attorney. “I haven’t served as a judge before,” said Stevens, “but in law school, we had the opportunity to act as judge. Weddings are actually the only part of the job that I have absolutely no experience with.”

In addition to his experience as an attorney, Stevens brings to the Justice Court experience in adult education as a part-time instructor at Tillamook Bay Community College, where he teaches criminal justice. Stevens expects that educating the public will be a big part of his new job, and he’s looking forward to it.

“Because people come to Justice Court and represent themselves, it’s important for the Judge to educate people and explain what the process is, and how it works,” said Stevens. “I really enjoy teaching. And the people’s court idea resonates with me. I grew up the oldest of six in an impoverished part of the South. Court and attorneys were an alien world. I saw education as a way to escape that poverty. In Justice Court, everyone gets to be heard, everyone is an equal here.”

Lemery concurs. “A big part of the job is listening to people. In general, people don’t have too many places where they get to talk and be heard. They get to come in here and be heard. Due process is enormous,” Lemery continued. “If you get a speeding ticket, you don’t get to argue with the

officer about it on the side of the road. But people come in here, and they get to talk, and ask questions; courtroom is really school.

“I’m passionate about education, too,” said Lemery.

“Without an education I couldn’t do 90 percent of the things that I enjoy doing in my life.”

“Public service is something I truly enjoy,” said Stevens. “This position is a unique opportunity to be able to serve the people of Tillamook County, and I think I’ll be able to be an advocate in a way that you can’t be in the DA’s office. It’s very exciting.

I feel like I’ll be able to hit the ground running, give people a fair hearing and make good decisions from day one.”

“Joel has a reputation for being a fair and decent guy,” said Lemery, “an honorable guy. It’s an honor that no one ran against him. It says that the bar thought he was the best person for the job.

“It’s really important for the judge to be elected,” said Lemery. “It makes you accountable to the people. It’s humbling to be elected and it gives you independence, because the voters are my boss.”

“It’s very important to have an independent judiciary,” agreed Stevens, “and elections are the best way to do that. Being elected gives you the moral authority to do the right thing. I am a servant of the community and I apply the law.”

“I’m excited about Joel taking over the bench,” said Lemery. “He has all the skills and abilities and the same passion I have. I love this court, I’m proud of the work we do here, and I want it to be successful.”

Jessica’s Law is germane to sexual crimes against children under the age of 12.

If Hamilton had been sentenced consecutively to three 300-month terms back to back, that would have represented 75 years in prison, not taking into account the other 135 counts of which he was convicted.

However, the court had the discretion to run the 300-month sentences concurrently (at the same time). The State, represented by Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter, recommended a sentence of 87 years, which would have ensured that Mr. Hamilton would never be released. Judge Trevino sentenced Hamilton to 37 years without the possibility of “earned time� (early release), stating that a sentence of 37 years is “punishment commensurate with the offense, taking into account that the defendant has no criminal history and borderline intellectual functioning.�

Hamilton has a juvenile record of a sexually violent crime which was not admitted into evidence. He was evaluated as being slightly above the diagnostic criteria for mental retardation. At the time of his arrest he lived in Tillamook with his mother and worked part-time at Safeway as a bagger.

In response to the sentence, District Attorney Bill Porter said, “The State is disappointed that the defendant received a

sentence that has the possibility that he will someday be released.�

Investigators believe that Hamilton began molesting the child victim when she was four or five years old. She is related to him, so he had regular opportunities to be alone with her.

Over the years Hamilton committed progressively more atrocious crimes against the child, escalating to involving his brother Daniel Hamilton in the molestation, and involving the victim’s brothers, also children, making them victims as well as involving them in the criminal sex abuse of their sister.

Hamilton had 135 “grossly explicit� sexual photos of the victim in a photo album when he was arrested, as well as videos “which show Hamilton doing unspeakable things to the victim,� according to Deputy DA Carter.

Hamilton confessed to investigators that he abused the victim for years. When asked why, Hamilton told the police, “I enjoyed doing it, I don’t know‌just something to do.â€?

The child led investigators to the private fort, where Hamilton tied her to a rock and molested her. He threatened to tie her to a rock and throw her in the ocean.

Hamilton’s predation was escalating at the time of his arrest. He had provided the victim with a cell phone and was attempting to coerce her, via

numerous text messages, to photograph her private parts and her friend’s private parts, while she was having a sleepover at her friend’s house. He instructed her to stay awake and try to sneak photos of the private parts of the child’s mother while she slept. The child’s mother read the text messages and called the police.

At Hamilton’s sentencing, Carter told the court, this case “involved, at its least, very serious invasion of a child under 12 and her person; at its worst, involves sexual slavery, where a child relation of this defendant was forced to submit to the most invasive sexual conduct without any opportunity of escape.�

Hamilton’s brother, Daniel, was previously sentenced to 350 months (29 years) in prison for using a child in a display of sexual conduct, specifically, being in possession of photos of the child victim, which he received from Matthew Hamilton.

A member of law enforcement who was involved in the case who asked to remain anonymous remarked that Matthew Hamilton’s sentence of 37 years does not seem proportional, given that his brother, Daniel, was sentenced to 29 years in prison for being in possession of photographs of the abuse Matthew Hamilton perpetrated upon the child for years. “If he gets out at 72, he’ll still be a danger to children.�

“We have people coming in here getting shopping baskets full of ammunition.�

The potential gun-control measures mark the most specific proposals to date from the Obama administration to deal with what he called a gun violence epidemic plaguing the United States. “There is a big chunk of space between what the Second Amendment means and having no rules at all,� said Obama, “and that space is what Joe’s (Biden) going to be working on to try to identify where we’ll find some common ground.�

According to the Washington Post, White House officials say the package of proposals is almost certain to include new restrictions on guns, particularly assault weapons and highcapacity magazines. But aides said it will also probably include mental-health initiatives and, as Obama noted Wednesday, a close look “at a culture that, all too often, glorifies guns and violence.�

Wikipedia describes the term “assault weapon,� when used in the context of assault weapon laws as “referring primarily (but not exclusively) to semi-automatic firearms that possess the cosmetic features of an assault rifle (which are fully-automatic).� Actually possessing the operational features, such as ‘full-auto,’ changes the classification from assault weapons to Title II weapons.

Merely the possession of cosmetic features is enough to warrant classification as an assault weapon. Semi-automatic firearms, when fired, automatically extract the spent cartridge casing and load the next cartridge into the chamber, ready to fire again. They do not

fire automatically like a machine gun. Rather, only one round is fired with each trigger pull.

While there’s nothing set in stone for future gun control changes, there have been dramatic changes in gun control laws in the past.

Back in 1994 the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB), or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons.� The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban’s enactment.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), author of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban that expired in 2004, announced on Dec. 16 that she will introduce updated legislation early next year. “On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds,�

Feinstein said. “I am in the process of gathering support for the bill in the Senate and House. “I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation,� Feinstein added. “It will be carefully focused on the most dangerous guns that have killed so many people over the years while protecting

the rights of gun owners by exempting hundreds of weapons that fall outside the bill’s scope. We must take these dangerous weapons of war off our streets.�

A summary of key provisions in the updated bill:

• Stops the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of more than 100 specificallynamed firearms as well as certain semiautomatic rifles, handguns and shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds. • Stops the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (magazines, strips and drums) capable of accepting more than 10 rounds. • Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by: -grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment; -exempting more than 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting and sporting purposes: and -exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.

FROM THE EDITOR

What makes you happy?

Community Forum Meetings I

heard a great idea from a friend this year regarding New Year’s resolutions. Instead of the traditional list ook County and have informal- of unrealistic resolutions we’re all familiar with, she is making a dozen small goals, ly been asking citizens for advice on how to move forward realistic, attainable and fun.

Some of her goals revolve around facover the last year. Two themes have emerged from our conver- ing her fears; she is afraid of heights, so sations: 1) make sure the tax is she’s going to walk across the Astoria Bridge the one day of the year that it is as low as it can be and is focused on essential work; and closed to traffic and open to walkers.

She’s enlisted a few friends including 2) look for ways to generate yours truly to accompany her. She’s going revenue from visitors to the to take surfing lessons, because she’s county, who use and benefit always wanted to surf. I did not sign on from our road system.

Therefore, we are consider- for surfing, but my son did; they’re going ing two county ballot measures. to learn together.

Some of her goals are fun things that The first is an even leaner version of the 2011 property meas- she hasn’t made the time to do in the past.

She works, she’s taking care of her famiure, and the second is a new ly, she’s busy and stressed, and it’s too county room tax for motel and hotel rooms, camp grounds and easy to postpone doing the things that vacation rentals for stays of less make her happy. This year she’s going to do some of them. than 30 days.

I love this take on resolutions. Do We have scheduled three Community Forums to meet with citizens to gather your opinions and input before making any final decisions on these measures. A forum will be held in North, Central and South County. You are invited to attend one or all of them. The South County Forum will be held on January 7, 2013, at 6:30 PM at the Kiawanda Community Center. The North County Forum will be held on January 8, 2012 at 6:30 PM at the Pine Grove Community House. The Central County Forum will be held on January 9, 2012 at 6:30 PM at Tillamook Bay Community College in Room 215. The forum held at Tillamook Bay Community College will be streamed live by the Headlight Herald on their website.

We look forward to seeing and hearing from you.

January 7, 8, and 9 Tillamook County has 300 miles of paved roads, 97 miles of gravel roads, 99 bridges, 3210 culverts, two dikes and 5310 road signs. This represents a public investment by taxpayers of $400 million. A recent review of the condition of county road systems in Oregon gave Tillamook County the worst rating of all counties. Poor roads impact the commercial, agricultural and industrial businesses in the county. But it also impacts public safety: properly engineered and maintained roads are essential to transportation safety, and deteriorating roads put all of us at increased risk and make it more difficult for police, firefighters and medical personnel to respond to emergencies.

Our committee believes the county road department has done the best job it can with fewer and fewer resources.

Funding from federal forests harvests have been declining and will soon end, and voters turned down funding measures in 1996, 1999, 2008 and, most recently, in November, 2011.

The first three measures were defeated by more than 60 percent of the voters. However, the November, 2011 property tax measure, which would have cost an estimated 46 cents per $1,000 in assessed value (less than half the cost of the 2008 measure), narrowly lost, 47% Yes, 53% No. That result encouraged us to keep thinking about how to improve our county roads.

The Tillamook County Citizens Road Committee believes that the condition of county roads has deteriorated to an unacceptable point. At the same time, its members respect the wisdom of the voters of Tillam-

something fun, do something brave, enlist your friends to do it with you; do one thing a month that makes you happy.

This year, rather than bludgeon myself about the 20 (or 40) pounds I’d like to lose, and setting myself up to fail Mary Faith Bell with an exercise regiEditor men I don’t enjoy, I am asking myself: what makes me happy?

What makes me feel good about myself and my life?

In my case, being outside, hiking with my dogs, kayaking, cross-country skiing, camping, riding my bike, these things make me happy. And if I were doing them more often, I would have more energy and lose weight naturally. I need to spend time with my family and friends; it’s easy for me to isolate. I need creative outlets, writing and art projects. I need to laugh. I need to pray.

READERS’ OPEN FORUM Thanks for the beautiful lights For over thirty years, I have been traveling from Tillamook to Lincoln County the evening of December 25.

I want to thank all the south county people for their beautiful light displays. Every year, we look forward to the gigantic tree on the hill near the lookout, the beautiful white farmhouse display on the corner near Hebo, and the Christmas trees and houses near the elementary school. Thanks for lighting up a dark and stormy night with all the beautiful lights.

EDITORIAL In a world that is rapidly changing the way it receives news, we at the Headlight Herald are rapidly changing as well.

We are meeting our readers in new places through new methods. We’ve expanded our offerings at tillamookheadlightherald.com to give you the news daily, when it happens, not just on Wednesday mornings. We have an active Facebook page where more than 4,000 people get breaking news alerts and share their thoughts with the community. We’ve added video components to our stories. We’re offering more information than ever in the limitless digital landscape.

We’ve also had to change some of the ways we do business. We recently instituted a paywall on our website, asking readers to pay for access to our in-depth and original reporting while still providing breaking news, sports and entertainment content to anyone who visits our site.

It’s been four years since the Headlight Herald made a modest increase to its subscription and sales rates, and as costs to produce the newspaper continue to increase, we are making a change there as well.

Effective Feb. 1, the Head-

Your lists may be entirely different from mine; there’s no right answer; it’s the question that’s valuable: what makes you happy? If you don’t know the answer, I guarantee no one else does either; when you figure it out, you can be responsible for your own happiness.

The good news is that if I prioritize happiness in my life, I will have more to share with the people around me. The pursuit of happiness isn’t selfish; on the contrary, the energy we have to share with other people is in direct proportion to how well we care for ourselves. In concrete terms, if I am stressed and exhausted, eating poorly and not exercising, my “well” is dry; I have just enough energy to work and very little left for my son or my dogs, for example, and my friends drop off the list completely. But if I’m taking care of myself, making myself happy and finding moments of joy, my well is full, I have energy to share and the people around me benefit from my well being.

Just an economical thought.

“Throwing rocks” online Pretty much everyone has an opinion. When the subject is important enough for a person to write a letter to the editor, they take credit or criticism for writing: their name is out there for all to see.

The "comments" on the computer should be held to the same standard. Too many people are "throwing rocks" behind a shield of anonymity while the original author is out in the open taking the hits.

hold, I have been remiss in not properly training my own son in firearm safety.

This will be remedied very soon. However, I would also like to pose this question: If a not-so-very-complex chain of events involving a boring movie and uncomfortable chair can create such a potentially horrific situation, in spite of the fact that the person involved was a responsible, well-trained and properlylicensed gun owner and dealer with the safety of his neighbors foremost in his mind, is the long-term solution to such high-profile and tragic gun crimes as the recent ones in Connecticut and Clackamas really more guns in the hands of more people?

Richard Warner Tillamook

Protecting our children We have listened to a recommendation calling for all schools to be protected by a qualified armed guard. The report also estimated this service could reach $80,000 per school per year. Considering all public and private schools within our county, that cost could exceed $1 million per year each year.

Let’s consider another, less expensive option.

1. Retrofit each school with steel doors containing an above ground reach window.

2. All ground level windows to be eliminated or resized and installed above ground reach.

3. Install video surveillance at each entrance with a monitoring council within the office.

4. A secure lock-down closet within each classroom and library containing a ring down circuit allowing communication outside from within.

Sewage overflow What is up with the sewage overflow on Evergreen Dr.?

Isn't that why a new treatment plant was built and why our rates will be going up 100%?

Just curious.

Gun Safety I see no reason to contest anything Gary Quackenbush had to say about the incident involving his gun at the Coliseum Theater. I am also thankful that the young people who found it had been taught to treat any gun as loaded and ready to fire (which this one in fact was), and that their doing the right thing by bringing it to the attention of an adult ended its potential threat. In fact, the incident has made me realize that, although mine is not currently a gun-owning house-

Raw chicken I sometimes like chicken for lunch.

A few days ago, I decided to buy a fried chicken for lunch. It usually feeds my wife and I with enough left over for the dogs to have a treat for their supper. Arriving home with one of Safeway’s 8 piece fried chickens, I dumped it into a bowl and took a fork to one of the breast pieces. Surprise, it was not even close to done. Pretty much raw in the middle. It happens sometimes, one piece not getting cooked. I set it aside, and checked the other breast portion. Same thing, not cooked. This one was even worse. Frustrated by now, I tore apart the rest of the pieces.

Same results, mostly raw definitely not fit to eat. So much for lunch. Tried to call

the store, and no answer. Sat back and wondered if this is a common occurrence.

After thinking about it, I decided to contact the county health department. Surprise again. Stores such as Safeway are not inspected by the county, but the State Department of Agriculture. Seems that if food is not generally sold for consumption on the premises, or is not purchased elsewhere and then cooked and sold to the public the county health department does not have jurisdiction. In other words, as long as they sell their own brands they don't get a county inspection. A nice lady at the county office gave me the number of our state Department of Agriculture inspector.

I called and explained what happened to him, and asked what to do with the chicken.

He didn't know what to tell me. Most people simply throw away things like that. He did tell me he would go to the store, and talk to them. I thanked him, and he said he would get back to me.

Did not happen. I waited, and called him. All he said was that he spoke to the store, and they told him they would stress training. I was told to either return the chicken, or throw it out. I returned it. Asking to see the manager at the service counter, the lady asked me if I was returning the pieces. I said yes and asked if it happened often. She said sometimes, and the manager was busy. That fast, money returned and sent on my way.

Just another day. No questions asked. Needless to say, no way will I ever buy anything at Safeway’s deli again.

Year in Review: 2012 JANUARY

FEBRUARY

T

he big news in January was the announced elimination of 50 jobs at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, the result of a decision by the Tillamook County Creamery Association to outsource its packaging to companies in Idaho and Utah; TCCA said the lost jobs wouldn’t affect the unemployment rate. Tillamook County got donated 30 tsunami sirens from the Umatilla Army Depot, and was looking for places to put them where “community partners” might help with the installation cost (expected to be $5,000 each). Tillamook County commissioners decided from now on, county parks would have to pay their own way; they won’t be getting any county property tax money any more. The Tillamook Shooters Association bought the property on Fraser Rd. where they were denied a permit for a shooting range; they thought they might have better luck getting a permit if they owned the place. Tillamook got a new city recorder, Abigail Donowho; the Wave bus system hired a new general manager. CART’M cancelled the popular Trash Bash, and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture closed the Farm Services Agency. Ben Jacobsen was selling sea salt from Netarts, but nobody local was carrying it. There was snow Jan. 15, but schools were closed already for the Martin Luther King holiday — and the snow melted the next day.

MARCH

he North Jetty still needed $1.7 million in work after its $18 million repair job; Oceanside sewer will cost $2.8 million more after a tunnel failure; the county commissioners put another library operating levy on the ballot, but there were concerns it might not pass -the county roads bond had failed, after all. The Oregon Legislature passed a Marine Reserves law, including a “you can’t do anything here” Marine Reserve offshore of Tillamook County; State Sen. Betsy Johnson and State Rep. Deborah Boone both voted for it, despite local opposition. Two Dutch robots were milking cows at Mizee’s dairy; and Principle Power of Seattle, which wants to put floating wind turbines offshore of Tillamook County, deployed one off Portugal, where permitting is faster. Werner Meats was expanding, and said they won’t outsource their packaging like TCCA did. The Pelican Pub still wanted to build a second brewery, but not at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Tillamook School District announced next year’s kindergarten will be all-day, every other day; the THS charity drive set a record; NKN’s Brandon Laszlo’s “biovideo” won a cash prize; and that “bomb” at THS was a stolen iPad someone had returned.

APRIL

T

illamook City lost a $1.5 million lawsuit by Big River Construction, the firm upgrading the city’s sewer plant. There was snow: 4-1/2” in Tillamook, 8-1/2” up Trask River Rd.; the Dutch Mill’s awning collapsed, and downed trees closed Cape Lookout Rd. There were tsunami drills in Tillamook and “the Capes” (Mar. 11 was the anniversary of the Japanese tsunami), but new tsunami maps weren’t ready yet for North County, and NOAA announced it was cutting maintenance funding for its offshore and Alaska tsunami early-warning systems. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied funding for the second time for the Southern Corridor flood-mitigation project, and the Port of Tillamook Bay said they’d appeal — for the second time. Roxanne Wagar was sent to prison for the negligent homicide of her mother, and DeElda Childs for shooting her sister. Rockaway Beach city council deposed a Budget Committee member on a split vote; Garibaldi and the county Economic Development Commission held the first tourism symposium in ten years. 58 percent of county roads were judged to be in “poor” or “very poor” condition. Garibaldi Grade School served green eggs and ham during Dr. Seuss Week; a 2-year-old saved his grandpa with the Heimlich maneuver; and EV4 said they’d have their electric-car charging station finished two months after getting the contract from Tillamook City. (They were still working on it in December.)

MAY

he Cape Meares lighthouse re-opened, over 2 years after vandals shot out the historic lens; you still couldn’t climb the stairs to the second floor (where the lens is) because of worries that vibrations will damage the building. The Port of Tillamook Bay leased 46 miles of track from the air base to past the Salmonberry River, to the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad; OCSR doesn’t have to make any payments for a couple of years. And Tillamook City gave OCSR $10,000 toward a new foundation for the Blue Heron depot after OCSR got control of the tracks. Neah-Kah-Nie School District got a new superintendent; Garibaldi Museum got a new manager; Tillamook got a new barber (in the old barbershop); and the Tillamook County Creamery Association’s CEO announced he’d leave in June. A “quasi” state agency, Oregon Travel Experience, took over ODOT’s rest stop on Hwy. 101 at South Prairie, which ODOT had wanted to close. Taryn Martin took over as the 2012 Dairy Princess. The Red Hat Society came to Garibaldi (and it looked like they took over the town). Pelican Pub Brewery bought Five Rivers Coffee Roasters, and the hospital bought the old Tillamook City shops. The Tillamook Chamber of Commerce had its first “cash mob.” The Headlight Herald did video interviews with county commissioner candidates, and Tillamook High School’s spring play was “Pom Pom Zombies.” And skydiver Matt Gold died at Tillamook Airport when his parachute failed to open.

JUNE

B

i-Mart backed out of the Third St. mall project; the developer said the co-op is in financial trouble, and can’t afford any more stores. Goodwill still wants to build, and proposed a store on US 101 in front of Ashley Inn. The Oregon Coast Bike Route is unsafe, local cyclists say – the wide shoulders touted in brochures don’t exist, or are debris-covered. State Forestry, State Parks, ODOT and Cycle Oregon contributed $200,000 towards converting the Port of Tillamook Bay’s railroad line into a trail; POTB signed the Memorandum of Understanding, but doesn’t have to contribute any money. There were tsunami drills in Garibaldi, Bay City and Barview May 5, and in west Tillamook May 23; archaeological investigations showed Native Americans had vacated the Trask River area after a tsunami in 1700. The primary election was May 15; voters continued the county library’s operating levy, and a Fire Dept. operating levy in Bay City, re-elected Mark Labhart county commissioner over David Downs; Lisa Phipps and Bill Baertlein, the top two of seven candidates for the other county commissioner job, will have a runoff in November. Tsunami maps for Nehalem Bay were released; so were the first Territorial Sea Plan maps showing a wave energy development area offshore of Pacific City. Tillamook Center Market’s grocer was charged with 82 counts of rape and sodomy; he was considered a flight risk because he had a valid Indian passport, but was released on bail May 30. The library’s card catalog went “live” online; Wheeler hired a city manager; Garibaldi blessed its fleet; construction started on the Third St. project; TAPA premiered “Never Kiss a Naughty Nanny”; and the 60 Minutes interview of the Headlight Herald’s Director of News, Samantha Swindler, aired May 6.

T

he City of Tillamook discontinued its Transient Room Tax grants; the Chamber of Commerce will get 18% of TRT money instead of 10%. The Hebo, Oceanside, and Wheeler post offices are among 149 statewide that will be cut to 4 hours a day as the U.S. Postal Service tries to save money. Downtown Tillamook was spruced up June 16; the Pacific City dory fleet was blessed June 2; Rockaway’s fire chief is back home from the hospital after a 7-week stay following his motorcycle accident; former TBCC head Carnahan will head the next roads bond campaign. Three Tillamook churches – Episcopalian, Lutheran, and Methodist – started sharing a pastor. County commissioners voted 2-1 to endorse the reconfiguration of the US 101/Hwy. 6 intersection in downtown Tillamook. Tillamook city planning says the Rodeo’s new sign is too big; it’s four times the size allowed in the city’s zoning ordinance. Hebo’s new fire station was supposed to be finished in August; Garibaldi Fire burned the oldest home in Barview. And the paper asked two city managers who’d come from other places – Tillamook’s Paul Wyntergreen, who was from Jacksonville, and Rockaway’s Dave Wiegan, from McMinnville – for ideas about downtown development from their former towns.

human skull was found in a homeless camp at Tierra del Mar, apparently belonging to one of the campers (it was later determined to be a Native American artifact). Tillamook County decided to decommission the tsunami sirens; the 30 sirens they got from Umatilla Army Depot – never installed -- will cost around $5,000 apiece to install, and $1,000 a year to maintain, they don’t run on a frequency the county can use after Jan. 1, they’re obsolete and hard to get parts for, and the county’s now got two loudspeakers mounted on Civil Air Patrol planes they’ll use instead. The Sitka spruce growing on one of the Three Graces – the most photographed site in Tillamook County – is dying; salt air may be part of the problem, and so may be the lack of any soil. Bay City and Tillamook broke ground for an intertie connecting the two cities’ water systems; FEMA was paying 75% of the cost. Jacobsen Salt raised over $30,000 through Kickstarter towards a processing facility in Tillamook County. Tillamook Urban Renewal (TURA) considered buying the Coliseum theater; Tillamook City wanted TURA to pay for new city shops; the Carlich House on Hoquarton Slough got a 9-month reprieve from demolition; Third St. construction was delayed by underground phone lines; Justice Court took over Tillamook Municipal Court; Jim Welsh, Republican nominee for House District 32 (north county) quit the GOP, announcing he’d run as the Constitution Party candidate. State Forestry suspended timber sales in marbled murrelet habitat, and the logging runoff lawsuit against State Forestry will go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

And Portland State University found high levels of caffeine in the ocean off Cape Lookout, and also off Lincoln City and Seaside – all popular tourist spots.

Tillamook County got a new Solid Waste Coordinator; Tillamook PUD got a new manager, and so did the county fair; Rockaway’s public works director quit, and so did a city councilmember (who was later re-appointed).

Tillamook County Creamery Assn. got a new CEO, this time from Portland. TAPA started remodeling the Barn; Farm Power started building a second manure digester; the Nestucca River became a National Water Trail, and TEP threw a party on the water. Vandals tried to cut the “T” out of the “THS” on the soccer field. Tillamook Urban Renewal denied the city’s request for urban renewal money for the new city shops, the Port of Tillamook Bay settled with the Bunkers Group, and a Vancouver teen rescued from the ocean got a $2,600 hospital bill and complained loudly online.

And the Sacred Yoni Show debuted in Nehalem.

illamook County got the last Secure Rural Schools money from the Feds. Pelican Pub signed a lease for a brewery in Tillamook; the Democrats opened a campaign office, but the Republicans didn’t – they didn’t have the money. Oregon Coast Bank turned 10, the Women’s Resource Center turned 30, and the Elmore Park Hotel in Rockaway turned 100.

The Patriot Guard turned out for a memorial service for fellow veteran Jim Bennett, killed in a motorcycle accident en route to Manzanita. Beaver toddler Taylor Carter was run over by a lawn mower, but they were able to re-attach her foot; OSP saved a vulture. Ex-computer store owner Marshal McMurrin talked from jail about the gambling addiction that ruined his life and business. The Headlight Herald interviewed sheriff candidates Andy Long, who competes in surfing contests, and Bill Spidal, who went to India and argued with Mother Teresa. TBCC opened their South County Campus at Nestucca Jr./Sr. High School; there was a tsunami drill in North County; the Headlight Herald reported that State Geology (DOGAMI) identified Garibaldi Grade School, built in 1927, has a 100% chance of collapsing in an earthquake. Tillamook City denied a second electric car charging station, and ODOT planned to spend $7.5 million and over a year re-designing and re-configuring the Hwy. 6/Wilson River Loop Rd. intersection so a stop light wouldn’t be necessary. And the Hebo cow sculpture, considered unsafe at the Fire Hall because kids might climb on it, was moved – next door, to the child care center.

ainy Day Books announced they were closing, the casualty of Kindles and Amazon; accused murderer Ronald Lunsford was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Headlight Herald interviewed county commissioner candidates Phipps and Baertlein, publicized mapping problems in the proposed Pioneer Water District (the proponents agreed, and urged a no vote), and had the local Democratic and Republican chairmen reviewed and commented on the state ballot measures. Mary Faith Bell became the paper’s new editor. Farm Power gave “manure tours” of their new digester. North County Recreation District unveiled options for their 1930-vintage pool — renovate, rebuild, or expand. A Japanese delegation pledged $6 million toward tsunami debris cleanup. State Education Dept. admitted it erred in classifying Nestucca Elementary a “focus” school needing help (they’d mistakenly classified 8 other schools as “focus” schools statewide). Garibaldi’s public works director left, and the Garibaldi Museum got a new manager. The county proposed a county-wide lodging tax, part of which would go to roads; TAPA premiered “What a Fine Monster You Are!” in their renovated theater; there was a benefit concert for Beaver toddler Taylor Carter. And the Headlight Herald tackled downtown Tillamook’s parking mess.

Veterans’ Day ceremonies at the Air Museum honored Korean War vets. The Headlight Herald released the Firefighters Calendar; proceeds from sales go to local fire departments. There was a 93-acre Jesuit sanctuary for sale at Pacific City. Third St. construction hurt some businesses, helped others; Rob Trost opened his third real estate office, in Tillamook; the senior meals coordinator retired; somebody tried to rob the Wells Fargo bank, and there were simultaneous bomb threats at 28 courthouses, including Tillamook.

Convicted child pornographer Douglas Chandler got 5-1/2 years in prison, and accused sex offender Anna Welsh got her bail reduced. The county planned to decommission the tsunami sirens – the old ones, they’d never put up the new ones from Umatilla – Dec. 31. The Tillamook NAPA store got new owners, Nehalem got a new city manager, and the Rodeo restaurant and bar got a variance for their oversized sign. The Headlight Herald interviewed Red Cross volunteers Terry Kandle of Garibaldi and Lynda Holm of Rockaway on their return home from Hurricane Sandy relief efforts on the East Coast. The Rinehart Clinic announced they were buying the Wheeler Pharmacy.

Tillamook City enacted stormwater systems development charges, and there were three proposals, all different, for a countywide lodging tax. 60 kids “shopped with a cop” at Fred Meyer. TAPA premiered “The Christmas Express.” The world didn’t end Dec. 21, but Justice of the Peace Neal Lemery retired -- and Webster, Rainy Day Books’ iconic bookstore cat, died.

TNT makes several arrests during past two months On Nov. 1, Tillamook County Narcotics Team (TNT) detectives arrested three men in a room at the Ashley Inn in Tillamook. Jacob Zavala Krumenaker, 22, of Bay City, Christopher Foss, 22, transient, and a 17-year-old juvenile male were arrested on scene and charged with Unlawful Delivery of Heroin, Unlawful Possession of Heroin, Endangering the Welfare of a Minor, Unlawful Possession of Cocaine and Frequenting a place where drugs are used, kept or sold.

Christopher Foss has pleaded guilty to Unlawful Possession of Heroin and Frequenting a place where drugs are used kept or sold.

The 17-year-old minor male pleaded guilty to Unlawful Possession of Cocaine and was sentenced to the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority. Jacob Zavala Krumenaker remains in custody at the Tillamook County Jail awaiting trial.

On Nov. 29 William John Bogle, 29, of Tillamook, was arrested in front of Center Market in Tillamook for suspected heroin delivery.

According to investigators, TNT detectives arranged to purchase 3 $50 pieces of heroin from Bogle. Bogle arrived at the predetermined location at the agreed upon time and was taken CHRISTOPHER into custody.

FOSS Officers found 4 pieces of heroin on Bogle when he was arrested. During a subsequent search of Bogleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence, police found 11 more pieces of heroin, plus packaging materials and drug transaction records.

CHRISTMAS TRADITION

Neah-Kah-Nieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Driftwood Classic showcases excellent basketball for local teams over Christmas break

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports When Christmas break rolls around for Neah-Kah-Nie High School there are few absolute certainties. The students will get a few days off to spend with their families, school will be out of session until after New Year's day and the Pirates will be hosting the Driftwood Classic basketball tournament.

As usual, the Driftwood Classic invited a few boys and girls teams to compete against each other and get a little more time on the court before they get back to their league seasons.

This year's tournament featured a variety of teams from different leagues and divisions.

On the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side of the bracket it was Tillamook, Taft, NeahKah-Nie and Toledo duking it out. The boys side featured Tillamook's JV team, Toledo, Nestucca and Neah-Kah-Nie. The tournament was laid out in a simple four team format with the Lady Pirates taking on the Taft Tigers in their first game The winner of which played the winner of Toledo and the Lady Cheesemakers on the second day of the event.

On the boy's side it was Nestucca and Neah-Kah-Nie going at it just like they did seven days ago in a game that came down to the wire. That left Toledo and Tillamook JV on the other half of the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket.

Neah-Kah-Nie vs Nestucca The Bobcats were looking for revenge when they took the floor against the Pirates. Just seven days ago the Bobcats had all but sealed up a huge league win when they played Neah-Kah-Nie on the Pirate's home floor. Too bad for the Bobcats, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

With five seconds left in the game and the Bobcats leading by one, Pirate senior Brad Watson flung up a buzzer-beating three pointer to overcome the Cats. This time the Bobcats came out hot.

Nestucca rattled off eight straight points to start the game and open up a quick lead. The Pirates didn't take too kindly to the early attack from the Bobcats and got their offense going, pulling within one at the end of the first quarter. It was the second quarter where the

game was decided.

The Pirates came out in the second quarter and outscored the Bobcats 14-4. The 10-point deficit was much wider than either team had at the end of any other quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost by eight and were outscored by 10 in the second because we weren't getting back on defense and we didn't know where we were supposed to be,â&#x20AC;? said Bobcats coach Jim

Kiser.

The Bobcats and Pirates played a extremely even basketball game save the second quarter, but the damage was already done. Neah-Kah-Nie got the win by eight, 36-28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked pretty tired out there,â&#x20AC;? Kiser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not to use Christmas break as an excuse because everyone's on Christmas break, but it looked like we were on Christmas break

The Bobcats played sound defense against the Pirates with the exception of the second quarter which ultimately cost them the game.

out there. It was a lot like our practices the last couple of days. You practice like you play.â&#x20AC;?

For the Pirates, the win was a good momentum builder and assistant coach Tim Gienger liked seeing his team do a few things they didn't do as well a week ago when the teams met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ball movement was a lot better,â&#x20AC;? Gienger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shared the basketball which

In 2000 Heidi completed her grooming education from Â&#x17D;Â&#x192;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2022;Â&#x2018;Â&#x2019; Â&#x2018;Â?Â?Â&#x2014;Â?Â&#x2039;Â&#x2013;Â&#x203A; Â&#x2018;Â&#x17D;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2021;Â&#x2030;Â&#x2021; Â&#x192;Â?Â&#x2020; Â&#x201E;Â&#x2021;Â&#x2026;Â&#x192;Â?Â&#x2021; Â&#x192; Â&#x2021;Â&#x201D;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2039;Ď?Â&#x2039;Â&#x2021;Â&#x2020; Â&#x201D;Â&#x2018;Â&#x2018;Â?Â&#x2021;Â&#x201D;Ǥ She has been employed as the manager and groomer of Bay Breeze Boarding and Grooming in Warrenton for the past 12 years.

Tillamook son Matt Blaser wins Scholar Athlete of the Year

Page A10 - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, January 2 - Headlight Herald

CLASSIC: Tillamook JV vs Toledo It may have only been Tillamook's JV squad in the tournament, but this particular team has no shortage of talent and the match up against Toldeo turned out to be well fought basketball game from start to finish.

Toledo got off to a great start, outscoring Tillamook 24-8 in the first quarter.

Things looked bleak, but Tillamook battled back and at one point, cut the lead down to single digits. At the end of the third, Tillamook trailed 55-32 and eventually fell to the Boomer's varsity squad by 20 points.

Despite losing the game, Tillamook JV coach Brian Wright was happy to have his team competing against quality opponents.

“I think it's really good for us because one of the things you struggle with as a coach is getting game tempo in practice every day and when we're able to get out and play against a bigger, stronger and more physical team it gives you a chance to see where some of your weaknesses are,” Wright said. “The score didn't come out to our favor, but it's a work in progress. Overall I was pleased with how we played.”

Besides this particular game, Wright was optimistic about the JV group eventually becoming the next generation of varsity players for Tillamook.

“I think the boys program will continue to get stronger over the next couple of years,” Wright said. “This group of sophomores are getting better and the kids are working hard in the off season. Some of these kids will be solid varsity players next year.”

Continued from Page A9

but it seemed like they were all getting the same result.

“I wasn't worried about our offense or defense, we just had to get the ball inbounds,” Weber said.

Tillamook’s struggle to getting the ball inbounds was a big part of the 38 turnovers they had in the game.

Even through all the mistakes, Tillamook had some shining lights.

Jamie Kottre had a great game with 9 points and 12 rebounds while Keleigh Hoopes had 10 points and seven boards.

“We've done a lot of drills in practice that helped with my rebounding,” Kottre said. “I think the boxing-out drills have helped everyone.

We've really been hitting that hard to try and eliminate giving teams second chances.”

Lady Pirates vs Taft The Neah-Kah-Nie

Lady Mooks vs Toledo Tillamook played pretty good defense against the Lady Boomers in their opening game of the Driftwood Classic. They actually played pretty good offense too, when they got the ball in bounds and across half court. Sadly, getting the ball in and across the time line was where the problem was for Tillamook. Especially in the third quarter.

“Ugh, I knew the press and getting the ball inbounded was going to be our biggest problem this season,” said Tillamook coach Danielle Weber. “Once we got the ball in and broke the press, we did just fine.

“We don't react fast enough. It's like we see our players and where we should pass it, but by the time our brains tell us to pass the ball they're not open anymore.”

The Cheesemakers tried different girls and different plays inbounding the ball,

Pirates girls basketball team seems to look better and better every time they take the floor this year. They might not always get the win, but the team is playing well and seem to be constantly improving. That was bad news for the Lady Tigers when they tried their best to overcoming the Pirates, but it was to no avail.

Neah-Kah-Nie played excellent defense all game long. So good in fact, Taft never scored a single field goal. They did make some free throws, but it wasn't nearly enough to hang with the Pirates.

Neah-Kah-Nie got the win, 25-4.

“They were aggressive and got after it,” said Pirate coach Corey Douma. “They were diving around and intense the whole game on the defensive end. That’s what this team needs to do every game. It was good to see.”

Scappoose High School senior Matt Blaser, son of Tillamook resident Tom Blaser, won the National Football Foundation’s Portland chapter’s 2012 Scholar/Athlete of the Year award at a Dec. 12 banquet.

Blaser, an All League offensive and defensive lineman, received a $3,000 scholarship to go along with his award. In addition to his accomplishments on the field, Blaser is a member of the National Honor Society and carries a 3.98 grade point average. He also plays tuba in the district honor band and trumpet in the Scappoose High jazz band.

Blaser is the third Scappoose High football player to win the award.

Guest speakers at the award banquet included former Oregon Ducks and NFL quarterback Joey Harrington, former Portland State and NFL quarterback Neil Lomax, and current Portland State head coach Nigel Burton.

This was the NFF Portland chapter’s 52nd annual banquet. Nominations are taken from 79 high schools in the greater Portland metropolitan area. Finalists are selected based on their football, academics and community service accomplishments.

Coast welcomes new couture studio ENGAGEMENT

BY ERIN DIETRICH

Sam Jacobson of Cascade Head designs and sews works of wearable art.

Jacobson started her own couture label, Vivienne-Brielle, about a year ago, and works out of her home studio designing dresses and suits for weddings, parties and other special occasions.

“A wedding dress is such a big investment, and for some women, the most important dress they'll ever have,” she said.

Drawing many of the ideas from flattering designs of the 1920s and 30s, Jacobson has collected hundreds of fabrics from designers such as Nicole Miller and Oscar de la Renta, in silk brocades and matelasse.

Some of Jacobson's clients come to her with a solid idea of the design they want for a dress; others don't have a very good idea at all. So she usually begins a design by creating a drawing based on a picture, or by asking the client how they want to feel.

“Do you want to feel floaty? Queenly? What part of the body do you want to accentuate, de-empasize?” she said.

“Some ideas need to be changed to be more flattering for their shape, or they might come in with an idea for a dress but it's impossible to dance in it.”

She also likes to stretch conventional thinking about what to wear for a wedding.

“Traditionally people here wear white or off-white, but in Asia, white is the color you wear to a funeral,” she said.

“There's a lot of marketing to brides and you can just do the same kinds of dresses. But I want people to look beyond that to something more individualistic and really expresses their personality.”

Jacobson is a self-taught designer who got her start in high school, when she needed suits for speech and debate tournaments and didn't have the money to buy them. She had a particular affinity for high end fashion chain I. Magnin.

“I would go into the store, take garments into the dressing room, turn them inside out to see how they were made, then go home and make it,” she said.

For the first six months out of high school, Jacobson would support herself by making business suits and party dresses for the women she worked with. And while her career took a very different path when she went off to college at the University of Oregon and then law school at the University of Iowa, she continued to make things for herself when she needed something unusual or different, or saw a designer dress she really liked during those years.

Jacobson led a distinctive career in the field of law. In the 1970s and 80s, she practiced law first at a firm in Iowa, and then for Standard Insurance Company in Portland. In 1989, she became a faculty member at Willamette University, teaching legal research, writing and administrative law. She taught law courses and internationally as well, in Bulgaria and China, and authored many legal articles and other publications.

Seven years ago, Jacobson and her husband, former Oregon Public Broadcasting Morning Edition Host Gray Eubank, moved from Southeast Portland to Cascade Head. She

Alicia Payne and Joel Stevens Joel W. Stevens and Alicia A. Payne of Tillamook are engaged to be married.

Joel is the son of Vicky Lynn Stevens of Lebanon, and the late William Robert Stevens of McCool, Mississippi.

He earned an Associates degree from Wood College in 2000, Bachelors degree from Western University in 2004 and a Doctorate of jurisprudence from Willamette University College of law in 2007.

He is the Tillamook County Justice of the Peace and Adjunct Instructor at Tillamook Bay Community College.

Alicia is the daughter of John Edward Payne and Sonja Marie Payne of Tillamook.

She graduated from Nestucca High School in 2006, and attended Tillamook Bay Community College.

Alicia is employed with the Oregon Judicial Department at Tillamook Circuit Court.

The wedding will take place April 27, 2013 in Canby, Oregon.

The Hoffman Center in Manzanita will host its fourth Community Talent Showcase Saturday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. The event will feature a variety of acts put on by local citizens.

“These events are so much fun and the audiences really enjoy themselves,” said Center president David Dillon. “It’s amazing the variety of talent we have among us.”

Auditions will be held

Wednesday, Jan. 16, from 5 to 8 p.m., at the Center to select 12-15 acts for the show. The acts should be suitable for all ages and last no more than five minutes.

Admission to the Jan. 19 show will be $10. All proceeds will go to support the Center’s general operating fund.

Performer registration forms are available on the Center’s website – hoffmanblog.org.

commuted from the coast to Salem for the next five years.

Throughout her busy career, she didn't have much time to design and sew, and upon leaving Willamette University, was originally thinking of doing some writing. As a Fulbright Scholar in Bulgaria, Jacobson co-authored a book about the country's anti-corruption measures. She was considering an update to her book, but ended

up following a creative path instead. The launch of Vivienne-Brielle was soon to follow.

“But then, I had a niece who was getting married,” she said. “I designed a dress for her, other people saw it and started asking about it, so I decided to go off in a more creative direction.”

When deciding on a name for her business, Jacobson said

she wanted something that reflected high-end couture. She started looking online at a list of elegant-sounding French names, and Vivienne-Brielle was the combination she liked best.

Jacobson does her design work, sewing and fittings out of her home studio in north Lincoln County, and for clients unable to travel to her, will send garments in the mail to try on and work on adjustments over Skype.

She can be best reached through her website, viviennebrielle.com.

Strong women program to be offered The OSU Extension Service in Tillamook will offer the “Strong Women Program”, a strength-training program for middle-aged and older women, beginning Friday, January 25, 2013 through Friday, April 5. The noon program runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook. The 1:30 p.m. class is held on Mondays and Fridays at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook. A new class will begin in Netarts on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 9-10 am. Hand and ankle weights are provided. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes.

Registration is required one week prior to the program. Classes are limited to 15 participants per session on a first-come, first-serve basis. To register, participants must complete the required screening and enrollment forms and pay the $30 registration fee by Thursday, January 17, 2013. All new participants who will be attending sessions at the OSU Extension Office must attend the mandatory orientation on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 10:30-11:30 am.

Women over age 70 or those with other chronic health conditions must obtain a release from their medical provider before beginning.

The Strong Women Program was developed by Miriam Nelson, PhD, Tufts University professor. It is based upon research on how strength training and proper nutrition improve the health of women of all ages. Research shows that strength training improves bone density, reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength.

ith Christmas now behind us and the end of the world not “yet” here and mom is ready for school to resume, after sixteen days off I am very surprised I'm still not completely crazy, yet. The weather was so nice for the holidays, now with thoughts of the rain and storms to come, the hot chocolate waiting for the kids and then the spring and everything new again.

We went to our daughter's first program; she was so excited about the play she was going to be in at the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church for the Christmas Vacation Bible School. After four fun filled days there from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. of crafts, songs and working on the play. The group had a wonderful spaghetti dinner for the families and ice cream for dessert. Then the children ages 4 to 11 put on a mag-

e celebrated Christmas with our Tillamook kids on Sunday, December 23, 2012 as some of our kids had plans to be in the Portland area for Christmas Day. Our grandson, Jeff, came down with a bad cold and cough, so was unable to be with us, but his two boys, Trevor and Dillon were picked up by their grandfather, Mark, and brought over to our house to spend the afternoon. They had a great time opening gifts. A favorite toy was the Lego’s. Those are just the most fun for kids to put together and they learn a lot, too. So the books we gave them will have to wait until the

nificent play entertained us all.

We all sang Hark The Herald Angels Sing then the play started “Way Down In Bethlehem” With Libby at the podium telling the story, while “Mary” played by Sophia Adams and “Joseph” played by Ethan Scovel walked down the isle in costume, Yukon Norris - Rivera as the “innkeeper” with Kenny McFall and Hayden Adams as “shepherds”, Alexiss Jimenez did wonderful as “King Herod” and the “Wise-men” were Brinda Jimenez, Lucille Lawyer and Isabel Adams, Emma Johnson and Joslyn Longfellow were “Angels”. Alivia Eckstrum Reuf was the “star carrier” with Tia Maunter as the “cow” and Noah Scovel as the “donkey” Emma Grimes was a “dove” Hayden Adams, Jack Bowen and Kaleb Jimenez were the sheep. The children all did a phenomenal job! The staff and the church helpers were so awesome to put this program on, to create fun crafts and activities for the children to do through winter break, thank you to everyone at the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church! We hope to make it there again next year.

Everything was exceptional.

Kathryn Claire will be performing her latest releases and other favorites at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita on January

4, 2013. She is a violinist and vocalist, for more information look on line at http://www.kathrynclairmusic.co m make an evening of it and grab a cup of coffee and listen to some good music. The tickets are $10.00 and it starts at 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

For those of you who may have heard of a show called Dr. Who... It has been the second most anticipated thing in our home Christmas being the first, but then immediately after it is a British television program that started in the 1960’s called Dr. Who and the big Christmas special is now December 25th so I get to enjoy popcorn and drinks with three of my favorite guys while watching Dr. Who (very quietly) so to everyone I hope you all have a Happy, and Healthy New Year!

I would like to say welcome and congratulations to Dale Shafer the new City Manager of Nehalem!

Remember of course January 1st is New Years Day - But January 2nd is National Buffet Day! Happy Birthday to Wynter Forsgren, Patty Richardson, William P. Grimes, and Joe Davidson.

Anything out there send it to me at hope9801@yahoo.com See you soon!

newness of toys is over and they can settle down to reading books. We missed having Jeff with us but hope he is much better by today. There were ten here for a sit down dinner and lots of good food. Everyone brought something to eat and there was more than plenty.

Leftovers were good to have the next day or two. Several of us gave food gifts to each other and they were much appreciated. My very special gift was from David. For several weeks he kept me out of the shop as he was working on my Christmas gift and didn't want me to see it ahead of time. He had a case of gout and was delayed getting the gift ready for our Sunday get together but had it ready for the real Christmas Day on the 25th. I would never have guessed what it was. It was a ship's mast I will use as a flagpole on my deck.

The little flag we put out on the deck really doesn't show up out to 4th or 5th Street. I think it is real neat with copper fittings and a very strong rope pull. The pole sanded and painted white. Waiting for a dry day to get it put up. The

flags will be seen from all around us. Thanks for such a neat gift, David.

Early Christmas Eve the doorbell rang. I opened the door and there stood BJ Byron holding out a warm-from-theoven Marionberry sugar free pie. I think that was the true spirit of Christmas as she continued on to other neighbors to deliver more of her home made delicious pies. She is the best pie baker - she doesn't bother making just one pie, she makes 6 or 8 pies at a time. So good.

Thanks again BJ. We loved the pie.

BJ said twenty neighbors turned up for the singing of carols December 20 at the Cape Meares Community Center. A lasagna dinner followed.

There was no hayride with the carolers this year. Inclement weather and very cold evenings made the decision to be indoors instead.

The New Years Eve party was Monday, December 31, 2012 from 8 to 12 p.m.

Hope your Christmas was happy and the New Year, 2013 will be a good one for you.

ebo Women's Book Club met the evening of Thursday, December 20 at the home of Pat Sears in Tierra del Mar. Besides our hostess and myself, attendees included Ginger Harlowe-Allen, Melanie Merryman, Ginny Rasmussen, Shelly Crowe, Patty Shurts, and Nancy Whitehead. We enjoyed warm drinks or wine and a selected of home baked treats including a savory puff pastry and a scrumptious chocolate confection shaped to resemble a yule log.

We reviewed Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, which our discussion leader described as “a delightful romp.” The roomful agreed that it's a title we'd never have considered outside of the group, and though slow to capture the interest of some, it was an enjoyable read. Next month the group takes on Wild by Cheryl Strayed of Portland, and I will host the event.

Speaking of enjoying literacy, The South Tillamook County Library would like to invite you and your baby to Mother Goose on the Loose, a program for babies (birth–24 months) accompanied by a caring adult. Siblings and others are welcome. Each session of Mother goose on the Loose will focus on early literacy skills such as rhyming, repetition, reading aloud and oral language. These skills will be shared within a thirty minute story time of sto-

all of the Netarts/Oceanside readers for their support and loyalty throughout the years.

If anyone is interested in writing this column in the interim, please contact: Mary Faith Bell, editor of the Headlight Herald at mfbell@countrymedia.net.

ries, songs and bounces, followed by play and chat time. An assortment of baby friendly board books will be available for checkout.

Mother Goose on the Loose happens at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday afternoons, starting January 15 at South Tillamook County Library.

For more information call the library at 503-965-6163.

A Baked Potato lunch will serve from 11:30-1:00 on Wednesday, January 9 at the Fellowship Hall of the Presbyterian Church on Brooten Road in Pacific City. The funds this month will go to the Pacific City Arts Association, a great group of people who help make art happen in our area.

For $5 you get a baked potato, toppings, dessert and drink. For more information, call Cathy Jones at 503-201-7462.

Indoor activities in close quarters increase our risk of catching a nasty virus- I appreciate the following tips from Tillamook County's preparedness guru to stop the spread of germs: • Get a flu vaccination.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

• Practice good health habits. Get plenty of sleep and exercise, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat healthy food.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

• Everybody can do their part to help prevent the spread of germs and protect themselves from the flu.

Tillamook County Solid Waste reminds readers that much of the waste generat-

ed over the recent holidays can be recycled. Wrapping paper (as mixed paper,) boxes (as cardboard,) and event the tree (as yard debris) need not overburden your garbage can. They'll even be collecting Styrofoam “peanuts” this year.

(Not solid Styrofoam or wood peanuts however.)

Just put your peanuts in a clean bag and drop them off between 8-4 weekdays at the Public Works Office, 503 Marolf Loop in Tillamook.

Awhile back we delved into recent constructive criticism of this column; here’s another complaint. A fellow Nesko Women’s Clubber asked why I always rewrite press releases that are submitted for publication. She knows of contributors who are offended by the habit.

There are several reasonsfirst, there are practical concerns that include spelling, grammar, clarity, and space.

Next, there’s the issue of plagiarism: I don’t want to be accused of submissions for which another author expected to receive credit or payment.

Then there’s the possibility that my source has shared a duplicate of the press release with another writer. Who wants to read the same words two or three times in one issue of the paper? Finally, and most importantly I believe that the column reads better written in one voice, rather than pieced together from several writing styles.

Happy birthday this week to: Sean Bennett, Brandon Boyce, Michael Corey, Ron Durham, Naudia Eckhardt, James Elliott, Taylor Geil, Francine Hagerty, April Huff, John and Mary Hurliman, Patrick Irving, Annis Leslie, Miranda Lightfoot, Elijah Love, Bonita O’Brien, Lee Saddler, Knol Simnitt, Frank Spinar, Cheryl Trent, and Shannon Williams.

appy 2013! I hope you all had a safe and had a fun New Years Eve! Dale and I are ready to settle down after all those holiday parties.

Wally and Diane Nelson (our friends and dance instructors) had a wonderful holiday bash at their home in Hebo. No, we didn't dance but we sure ate a lot. But I, who document everything, forgot my camera.

There were lots of pictures to be taken at the St. Mary's by the Sea Christmas gathering. That was a great time too!

In memory of Phyllis Baker, the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO) recently sent a certificate of recognition for her significant accomplishments as office manager to the WatsecoBarview Water District. Phyllis never ceased to amaze me how much she knew and could handle in any situation or event in our community.

I'm so excited for the library!

They made almost $300 on the holiday table one week before Christmas. They want to thank the many folks who brought in items to add to their table. One lady made a donation of over two-dozen handmade natural stone necklaces and they sold at $5 each. Plus, because of the fall membership drive, they have 98 new and renewing Friends members. Awesome.

hristmas is now behind us and the New Year is here. I wish all of you abundant blessings for the coming year.

When Kolton McKinney, 12, unfolded the seat in a Tillamook movie theater Wednesday morning and heard a “plink,” he thought a part of the seat might have fallen out. Then the boy heard his friend say, “Dude, there's a gun.” A loaded Beretta 9mm semi-automatic handgun, that is. One bullet in the chamber.

The safety off. This is the grandson of Ann Harper here in Bay City. Thankfully he notified an adult and didn’t touch it. Ann you have reason to be very proud of your grandson!

Our Bay City volunteer firefighters have long had a tradition of handing out candy and goodies to our children. This year they came to my house and made this older lady very happy. I was able to throw some homemade cookie bags together for the four that were traversing my neighborhood. The volunteer firefighters of Tillamook County, with the assistance of the Headlight-Herald, have created a 2013 firefighter calendar. These calendars are being sold at locations around the County to help support volunteer firefighter programs. For a mere $10 per calendar, you will be contributing to support a corps of dedicated volunteer firefighters throughout the County. You can pick up your calendar at the Bay City office. I will be heading over to get mine soon.

NOTES FROM THE COAST Saturday, March 2nd. It is our fundraiser for our Parks and Rec program. It's a lot of fun and we have folks from the whole county show up each year. And the food is yummy! Contributions can be brought to the City Hall.

I just received a little tidbit of information, which made me smile. Bill Ping and Councilor Sue Wilson brought teddy bears to the police station recently.

These bears will be used this year to help children cope with challenging situations they may get in. The bears help to soften the impact of such events. Thanks guys. This is awesome.

Another 'Chief Ed sez' tip.

Many homes in our town are vacant in the winter. Consider purchasing lights on timers or motion lights so your home looks occupied. Have a friend or close neighbor who can watch the house and check on the lights, frozen pipes or damaged roofs.

Also give emergency contact information so it is available in the water bill records. These are the records the police use to notify you if they observe a problem in your home.

Now that we're in the mist of the winter solstice time of year, we have many more dark hours.

So be watchful on those dark and rainy nights and early mornings.

The kids and folks walking around don't always have flashlights and reflectors. And with Christmas gifts of new bikes, they may forget to watch out for your car.

Once again if you have old prescription glasses or hearing aids be sure to donate them to the Lions Club. Lions collect used hearing aids and send them to regional Lions Hearing Aid Recycling Centers for refurbishing and distribution to persons in need. What better place to recycle your unused items.

Poignant – Causes and First loves

Y

ou’ve been thinking about becoming more involved in a cause that means a lot to you. Maybe it’s the homeless in our county, the backpack program to feed kids, adopt-a-family during the holidays, cleaning up our rivers, ocean reserves, the Territorial Sea Plan, politics or fixing our roads. Your cause is like your first love, poignant, bitter and sweet.

Poignant is that scene in Casablanca when of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Ingrid Bergman walks into Humphrey Bogart’s saloon after leaving him years before standing at the train station reading a note in the rain that said she wasn’t coming. We lose a lot of memories that fall out of our head while we’re sleeping, but we keep poignant.

Almost any scene in Casablanca is poignant.

That’s why we’re still watching it.

You have to have loved only once to know poignant, the two of you breathing together, when there was ecstasy in every breath you drew. And then you wait for the call that never comes, that day when your heart cracked in two.

You can remember whether it was raining or the day was illuminated with sunlight. You can remember what you were wearing. The

pain was so hard and went in so deep it left you with a comical look on your face because your insides had been kicked out.

There’s something about this time of year.

The fundamental things apply as time goes by. We take a mental inventory at year’s end, round up the usual suspects and think, oh, well, one out, one in.

SCHUBERT And the music. Why does there always have to MOORE be music? It was your song, the song that you listened to together, so that just a few notes can spiral you back into that moment in a heartbeat. A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, but not if it was your kiss. It was the universe. Play it again.

You walk around with it inside, that memory. It’s yours. It will always be yours, reminding you forever of what you were and the surprise of what you’ve become. Often you’re busy and the name recedes for a time.

Then an ending comes, like year’s end, and you hear another song, should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind,

Non-deciduous resolutions T

and how to identify them in the woods. It was not as easy as it seemed at the time. Oregon has lots and lots of native trees in the forests, and sometimes a non-native will sneak in. For example, on the way to Portland on Route 6, there is a Nootka Alaskan cedar that can be seen along the highway at about mile marker 17. These are pretty distinctive trees, tall and thin with boughs that weep, and a top that bends almost in half. But it took me a while to pinpoint exactly what that unusual looking tree was as we went driving by.

Doing something we enjoy is also easier to stick to than something we dread. I did enjoy the challenge of learning something new. And now on that same road to Portland, I can distinguish the hemlocks from the Doug firs and the spruces. There were some very handy guides that helped me learn. One was a pocket guide called The Ecopress Complete Guide to Native Conifers of the Pacific Northwest that broke the trees down into what type of needles and cones they had as well as their general shape.

It also has a handy ruler down

the side to measure needles and cones. It is laminated (nice in the rain) and folds to fit in a jacket pocket. The price was only $4.95 and although I bought it at a Portland bookstore, Ecopress has a website, too. Find it at www.ecopressbooks.com.

My resolution for 2013 is going to be a bit more of a challenge than learning the coniferous trees of Oregon: I am going to learn the native deciduous trees this year. This will be harder because I won’t have the luxury of year-round foliage, so I will have to learn the bark as well as the leaf shapes and the general tree growth habits. It will be well worth it, though. If I revise that lofty goal and put it into a process goal, say, learning a tree each month, it should be easier to accomplish, too. That would give me 12 trees. Not all the deciduous trees in Oregon, I know, but a good start. Especially if I can learn them by bark and leaf shape. Who knows how many ways that will come in handy?

I just need to find another guide that will make this resolution possible to keep.

and the name is at your lips.

In the movie Bogart gave up Bergman for a cause bigger then they were. It happens to us as we mature. Love isn’t love until you give it away.

We have so much love to give, a person can’t hold it all. We yearn for a cause like they had. We’re hard wired to do it, to build something larger than we are. That’s why we fight so hard for what we believe in, vets and church and schools and battered women and abused kids and the hungry and the homeless and abandoned animals and on and on. It’s rare to find anyone who doesn’t believe in a cause bigger than themselves.

Contrary to what some philosophers tell us, there aren’t kinds of love. Love is love.

We bond with another to transcend ourselves.

So it is with a cause. We lose ourselves in order to become something greater, and it is bitter and sweet.

So take up your cause. Stand up for what’s right. It’s a case of do or die that no one can deny. If you don’t get involved, you’ll regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Welcome back to the fight. Here’s looking at you, Kid.

WILLING TO SHARE Divorce doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just effect people. Just ask Mimi, and easy-going black, tan and white 3-year-old, who needs a new home because of her ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; split.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate, because she is a great companion who likes people. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never met a cat, however, so a new home without one probably would be best. Mimi has been spayed, is current with shots and has microchip identification.

True to her name, Athena has the look of a goddess, even though sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still just a kitten. Playful and very affectionate, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to share a new home with her brother, Zeus. But if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to rule her home alone... or with another resident cat. After all, she was a feral, born int he wild,and will be appreciateive of a real home of her own. An indoor home, please. Athena is current with shots and will come with a certificate to have her spayed.
