Goodwill opens Jan. 17

Gun owner arraigned

Store to employ about 25 workers

Theater incident wasn’t the first time Quackenbush misplaced a gun

TILLAMOOK – Beginning at 7 a.m.

Jan. 17, hundreds of customers are expected to fill the store’s nearly 10,000 square feet of retail space when Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette (GICW) opens its first store in Tillamook County.

The facility, located at 2600 N. Main Ave, will employ as many as 25 persons, two-thirds of whom have barriers to employment. The weekend prior and the week of the grand opening, green and blue laser lights will be focused in the skies over the store for a few hours after sunset.

During each day of the four-day grand opening, shoppers have a chance to win one of five $100 shopping Goodwill sprees, or one 55� flat screen TV. In addition, the

Gary Quackenbush, owner of the loaded handgun that was found at the Coliseum Theater Dec. 19 by 12year-old boys, had a court appearance Dec. 31 on the charge of recklessly endangering another person.

QUACKENBUSH This is not the first time Quackenbush has lost a loaded gun; in fact it is the second time in a little over a year that Quackenbush’s gun may have slipped from his holster without him noticing. On Dec. 15, 2011 Quackenbush reported his handgun stolen from his business, the Idaville Grocery store.

Quackenbush reported to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office “he had to use the restroom and took his 380 Barrett handgun out of the holster and laid it on the small table in the restroom,� (from the Sheriff’s Office report).

morning of the 17, free coffee will be set up for the earliest shopping enthusiasts.

This is GICW’s 47th location. As with all Goodwill stores, when a donation is sold, 94-cents of every dollar provide vocational opportunities – including jobs, job training and job-placement services – to people with barriers to employment.

Persons in need of employment assistance are encouraged to visit the new store’s Job Connection office.

In 2011, Goodwill’s Job Connection staff was able to find community employment for more than 10,000 Northwest OR and Southwest WA residents. Through all of GICW’s job programs, nearly 41,000 local individuals were served in 2011.

ANZANITA – There’s nothing quite like plowing full speed into the frigid Pacific Ocean in the dead of winter. It’s a minute or two of icecold, crystal clarity that leaves one clammy, shivering and ready to take on whatever the coming year has in store.

Perhaps this is why the annual New Year’s Day Polar Plunge in Manzanita has grown so popular over the years, with over 300 hearty souls participating to bring in 2013.

Shortly before 11 a.m. on a brisk, blue-sky morning, the call of kelp horns heralded the start of the event. Pam Greene of Neahkahnie made them using dried lengths of the hollow kelp found on the beach, and covering the end with beeswax.

Assembled before a giant bonfire on Neahkahnie Beach, they represented all ages and donned an array of swim attire and other miscellany. Just when the crowd seemed to reach a fervor, the clock struck 11, the horns sounded again, and the crowd took off running toward the piercingly cold surf.

Neahkahnie resident Stewart Martin has participated in the Polar Plunge for several years now and names several reasons for joining the shivering crowd. “It’s the challenge of a cold January morning here at the beach,� he said. “And it is certainly brisk and wakes you right up.�

Also important to Stewart and many of the others is the community aspect of the event. “A lot of our friends are down there, so why not join them?�

Growing up in Tillamook County, Dion attended Nehalem School, then East Elementary, Tillamook Junior High School and Tillamook High School, where she also became a Rainbow Girl and lettered in track, swimming and dance.

As a senior at THS, Dion took college-level classes at Tillamook Bay Community College and won scholarships, despite being seriously dyslexic.

Gayle said Dion’s goal was to enter the medical field, so she headed off to OSU, where she took a double science major.

Dion Wilks was a beautiful, 25-year-old professional woman with a bright future when, on the night of Feb. 1, 2003, a former boyfriend-turned-stalker shot her three times and left her to die under the wheels of traffic on Interstate 5 near Salem.

Dion had grown up in Tillamook, attended school here Dion Wilks and gone on to stellar achievements at Oregon State University, Oregon Health & Sciences University and Oregon National Guard.

She was bright, driven to succeed, physically strong and fit.

Yet she was unable to either foresee or prevent the violence that took her life.

The tragic events of that night still haunt her mother, Gayle Ridderbusch of Tillamook. And now, as the tenth anniversary of the murder approaches, she has one powerful admonition: “If you believe your child or loved one is in a potentially violent situation or being stalked, you must take it very seriously.

You must move heaven and earth to get them out of it.�

Ports of Garibaldi, Tillamook outline 2013 projects Merkley

to hold town hall in Pacific City

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Port of Garibaldi

Greenwood said. “If we have growth, where should it go?

Let’s draw the map now and identify those uses.”

For the Parks Plan adopted last year – the only park in Garibaldi is on Port of Garibaldi land – “we’re looking for dollars to build stuff,” he said.

“I would love to build stuff. But we’ll focus on the wharf.”

Port of Tillamook Bay The Port of Tillamook Bay has 22 separate projects underway as 2013 begins – four at the airport, funded by the Federal Aeronautics Administration (and “Connect Oregon” money from the state), and 18 funded

by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Most are at the Port of Tillamook Bay’s industrial park, part of the Tillamook Naval Air Station originally built during World War II. The administration building – purchased from Tillamook School District 9 and then remodeled – has already hosted a couple of weddings and a number of big meetings, Bradley said. Only 2,500 square feet of the rambling 10,700-sq.ft. structure has been

refurbished to date.

“We’re still working on the digester,” port manager Michelle Bradley said. Three new silo-type digesters will go online this spring, she said.

Three greenhouses – actually “hoop-houses” – will be built nearby; there, Food Roots will be using fiber from the digesters to grow crops. The new NearSpace building will be ready in early spring, too; “we’ll have a big open house for that,” Bradley said. NearSpace, which builds and tests space-exploration balloons, “likes Tillamook Airport because it’s low-use and lowintensity,” Bradley said.

FEMA money has also built the Port of Tillamook Bay two new 18,000-sq.ft. warehouse buildings, Bradley said. “We have two tenants, and another moving in in January,” she said.

The biggest asked-for need in Tillamook was more industrial space, she added.

The Port of Tillamook Bay now owns roads on the port property. “We bought four miles of county road for ten dollars,” Bradley said. The port district is paving the roads, but doesn’t have a long-term source

of income for road maintenance, she said. An important task for the coming year is figuring out how to make the roads sustainable, she said.

One project not at the port’s industrial park that hasn’t started yet is the Southern Flow Corridor Project, an $8 million construction project that would remove 36,000 feet of existing levee along the lower Wilson River (and lower 11,000 feet more), build 7,000 feet of new “setback tidal dike” and upgrade 3,100 feet more.

FEMA funds would provide $3.225 million of the cost, with much of the balance coming from state bond funds and the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. The project, conceived by the Oregon Solutions Team assembled by former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, is intended to reduce flooding along Highway 101 and the railroad.

The Southern Flow Corridor Project is expected to take two years to complete; construction would consume about six months, with the balance of the time spent securing the various state and Federal permits to do the work.

FEMA has denied funding for the project, claiming (among other things) that the cost of the project outweighed its benefits. The Port of Tillamook Bay has appealed. “We haven’t heard from FEMA headquarters,” Bradley advised.

“But we have met FEMA’s cost-benefit analysis.”

Both ports seeking new commissioners Both the Port of Garibaldi and the Port of Tillamook Bay have vacancies on their governing bodies. Port of Garibaldi commissioner Dave May and Port of Tillamook Bay commission president Bill Baertlein resigned in December.

The Port of Garibaldi has received letters of interest from five people, port manager Kevin Greenwood advised, and the port commission expects to make an appointment at its meeting Wednesday, Jan. 9.

The Port of Tillamook Bay is advertising their vacancy as “open until filled,” Bradley said; an appointment may be made in February.

Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley will hold a town hall meeting in Tillamook County next week, Jan. 11 at 4:30 p.m. at JEFF the Kiawanda MERKLEY Community Center in Pacific City, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive.

Merkley will update constituents on his work in Washington, DC and answer their questions and invite their suggestions about how to tackle the challenges facing Oregon and America.

“Talking directly to Oregonians in every county is a great way to hear about the issues folks want me to fight for in Washington,” said Merkley. “I urge all residents of Tillamook County to come and share their opinions and work with me to make our state and nation a stronger place.”

“Wharf, wharf, and more wharf,” Garibaldi port manager Kevin Greenwood said. Top priority for the Port of Garibaldi is reconstructing the Commercial Street wharf, home to the Port’s water-dependent businesses. Built in the 1940s, the wharf’s old and deteriorating pilings can no longer support a lot of weight.

“We have a non-binding letter of commitment from EDA (the Federal Economic Development Administration) for $3 million,” Greenwood said. “We need to get our plans finalized.

We’ve got all our permits.”

When the EDA commits to providing the money, “we’ll be in a position to go out for bid the next day,” Greenwood said.

“We could be starting this summer.”

For its part, the City of Garibaldi needs to replace water and sewer lines in Commercial Street, which is a city street built on top of the wharf, and also replace a big portion of the roadway itself. The city has applied for grant funds from the Oregon Dept. of Transportation (ODOT) that would provide the lion’s share of the money to do the work.

“We’ll support the city,” Greenwood said.

Getting the Tillamook Bay jetties repaired remains a high priority, Greenwood said.

Repairs were made to the north jetty, but the south jetty needs work – the two jetties have never managed to be repaired at the same time. “We’ll continue to lobby for Corps of Engineers funding for the south jetty,” Greenwood said.

In 2013, the Port of Garibaldi will be continuing the upgrade of units at the Lower Biak R.V. Park, which the port district purchased from its private owners. Refinancing port debt at a lower interest rate allowed the port to buy the R.V. park “without increasing our debt service,” Greenwood said.

They’ll start getting the permits to dredge the boat basin again: “It’s been five years since we had a full dredge and rebuild, and traditionally we’ve done it every five years.”

In addition, “we’ve been talking about setting money aside to develop a vision plan for future Port development,”

Yamamoto has contributed his energies and talents to several organizations of relevance to south county interests, including the local Community Planning Advisory Committee, the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Com-

mittee, Tillamook Futures Council, Oregon Healthy Kids, and Northwest Area Commission on Transportation.

Carr is general manager of the Inn at Cape Kiwanda Inn and the Cottages at Cape Kiwanda. She is known for making visitors to the area feel welcome and comfortable. As impressive have been her commitments and her giving back to the community of which she is a lifelong resident. She volunteers to help with various organizations and festivals, and helps many people individually.

One of the state committees working on a Territorial Sea Plan has voted against including an area offshore of Pacific City and Neskowin as a wave-energy development site.

The Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC), at a meeting in Coos Bay Jan. 3-4, voted 10-1 against designating two sites offshore of Tillamook County – offshore of Neskowin and Netarts – as “Renewable Energy Facility Suitability Study Areas�

(REFSSAs) in revisions to Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan (TSP).

(It’s still referred to as “the Pacific City site,� but the proposed development area has been reduced in size by about two-thirds, and is no longer offshore of Pacific City. It’s south of the mouth of the Nestucca River, and closer to Neskowin.)

OPAC took the same action, also on a 10-1 vote, with respect to a third REFSSA proposed offshore of Langlois, in southern Oregon.

That leaves on the list REFSSAs offshore of Camp Rilea, in Clatsop County, Gold Beach, in Curry County, two near Reedsport, in Douglas County, and one near Newport, in Lincoln County. All are near deepwater ports – Astoria, Newport, and Coos Bay – considered important for maintaining the offshore facilities. One of the sites near Reedsport already has a permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), issued before the state of Oregon began Territorial Sea Plan revisions four years ago.

OPAC’s recommendations go to the state Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), which will make a final decision at a meeting in Salem Jan. 24-25.

Volkswagen a victim in Hebo storage building fire HEBO – A 1965 Volkswagen bus was the victim of a fire Jan. 2.

Firefighters from the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, along with crews from Tillamook and North Lincoln fire departments, quickly extinguished the blaze that started in a storage building, about five miles up Hwy. 22. The 30x60 building, along with two trucks and a tractor inside, were mostly spared from the damage, but Division Chief Mickey Hays said the Volkswagen was a total loss.

Hays said property owner Glenn Kellow had started up the Volkswagen when he “heard a big whoosh.� A fire had started at the rear of the bus. Kellow was able to safely exit the bus and building, and called 911 at 2:17 p.m. Jan. 2.

When firefighters arrived on scene, Hays said they shot at the fire with a deck gun – a large nozzle attached to the top of the fire truck. The hose shot about 2,000 gallons of water at the fire in three minutes, Hays said, quickly knocking it down.

Hays said the metal and wood storage building received minor damage.

Fire crews cleared the scene at

“make my job easier,� county commissioner Tim Josi advised after the meeting. Josi is a member of the Land Conservation and Development Commission. “Now I can lobby very strongly not to include the Pacific City/Neskowin site.� “I’m going to speak to the governor’s office,� Josi said. “They’ll take the recommendations (from OPAC) and come up with a staff report to LCDC.�

A separate body, the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee (TSPAC), had met Dec. 6 in Salishan with the specific intent of recommending wave-energy suitability sites, but ended up not making recommendations. “We punted,� David Yamamoto told the Headlight Herald. “But we were under pressure.� Yamamoto, from Pacific City, is a “citizen at large� member of TSPAC. (TSPAC, created by LCDC, includes a number of people who are also members of OPAC, but also includes energy industry representatives who aren’t represented on OPAC.) TSPAC didn’t reject any of the nine wave-energy sites that had been proposed, but did prioritize them; in a “sideboard,� TSPAC recommended only picking five of the nine. The Pacific City/Neskowin site was #6 on the list; the site off Netarts was #9.

Josi cautioned that not designating REFSSAs offshore of Tillamook County doesn’t mean there can’t be facilities here. “There’s still potential in Tillamook County for a facility if it meets standards,� Josi said. Wave energy facilities are still allowed in three other “zones� in the Territorial Sea Plan, but standards are higher. “Companies still have lots of opportunities as long as they meet standards,� Josi said. “People have a tendency to forget that.�

Happy 80th Birthday Carol Jean Nelson

about 4:30 p.m. “These big shops are fairly dangerous because you don’t know what exactly is in there,�

Hays said. He cited tires, gasoline, propane tanks or other chemicals as being especially dangerous.

FROM THE EDITOR

STAFF COLUMN

Let’s make all county We should all be talking about child abuse roads state highways T

I

regularly come up with Wild Ideas (I’m the guy who writes the dead-animal songs, after all). Every now and then, one of them may have merit. I do not know if this is one of those.

Almost 60% of our county roads are in “poor” shape or worse. (Yes, there is a “worse than poor” category. And we’re in it.) There are a number of causes of this; one that doesn’t get talked about much is roads on the coast deteriorate faster than they do elsewhere, because of that constant exposure to salt air and salt water, and they’re more expensive to maintain because of our climate.

MONEY is the factor we hear most about. We get the same “split” of state gas taxes everyone else does, which is not much. We used to make up for that with Federal Forest Funds and Oregon & California Railroad monies from the Federal government, but we don’t get any of that, any more, because the Feds reneged on their old contracts that said they’d give us timber money in exchange for not having to pay property taxes. (That’s right. The biggest landowner in Oregon – they own 53% of the land in the state -- is not paying property taxes.)

I’ve heard the argument — I’m sure everyone has — ‘Your taxes are too low. You should be paying more property taxes.’ I have a couple of problems with that. First, tax rates in Oregon were frozen back in 1998 by constitutional amendment, and we can’t change them. The “you need to pay more taxes” people aren’t aware of that because they don’t live here. Second, I’d feel better about it if it were one of my neighbors saying, “Y’know, we need to pay more property taxes.” But instead, the message is coming from people who won’t have to pay those higher taxes. In fact, some of the “you need to pay more taxes” people are the very folks who caused the revenue-shortfall problem in the first place.

I’d like to propose a different tack. (By the way, this will not solve the problem—it will just focus attention on it. And it’d be fun.)

We have four state legislators now, representing parts of Tillamook County—Sen. Arnie Roblan and Rep. David Gomberg in south county, and Sen. Betsy Johnson and Rep. Deborah Boone in north county.

The legislature we elected them to convene is in January. Here’s my idea: Could we get all four of our legislators to introduce

— very loudly — a bill making all of Tillamook County’s roads state highways?

Our legislators could point out that Joe Wrabek Tillamook County simply Staff Writer can’t afford these roads any more. The main financial support of county road repair — the Federal money — is gone, and we can’t force the Feds to live up to their contract.

The state, on the other hand…

The pittance we got (and get) in state gas taxes is why we needed the Federal money in the first place. We can’t supplement that with local gas taxes because the Legislature cut a deal with the Oregon Petroleum Dealers Assn. to prohibit us from doing so. We can’t raise property taxes even if we wanted to because the state constitution says no.

Since the state obviously doesn’t want us to have the money to maintain the roads, let’s have the state maintain them itself.

Of course it won’t be successful; a majority of the state legislature comes from Portland, Salem, and the People’s Republic of Eugene, and they’re not going to have the slightest interest in our problem, much less in doing anything about it. I’m sure, too, that the state will argue it can’t maintain the highways that it’s got – and that is at least partially true: they sure aren’t keeping up with the maintenance. Our legislators can ask, though, why, if the state can’t do the job, they’re preventing us from having the resources to do it.

Bottom line is this would be an opportunity for our legislators to make some productive noise — and headlines. It wouldn’t solve the problem, but it would focus some muchneeded attention on it. And I could see us not being alone in this effort for very long. I’d bet other counties would do the same thing: there are a lot of counties in Oregon that have this problem, many of them worse off than we are. If everybody starts complaining – and they could – you might get some attention and headlines focused on what may be the root cause of the problem: The biggest landowner in Oregon is a deadbeat. And trying to convince us it’s our fault.

Have you talked to your legislators lately?

his week we’re printing a letter to the editor by Phyllis Sisco of Beaver, (read it below). In it she criticizes my recent coverage of the sentencing of Matthew Hamilton on 138 counts of sex abuse.

Let me first say that I respect everyone’s right to their opinion, and I don’t mind being criticized; I figure it comes with the territory. Moreover, I appreciate letters. I am thankful when a reader spends the time to write a thoughtful letter, signs their name to it, and sends it out for the whole community to read.

I thought about Phyllis’ letter; it is an important topic, and I appreciate her concern for the child victim.

I understand that it is traumatic even to read about these kinds of crimes; but I don’t believe that as a community we should shrink from the knowledge of what happens to the most vulnerable members of society. We need to face the terrible things that go on around us if we have any hope of changing them. Nothing is accomplished by avoiding what makes us uncomfortable.

Sitting in that courtroom, I felt heartbroken and sick for that child victim. I was literally squirming in my seat, it was so horrifying to listen to the litany of abuses to which she was subjected. If Phyllis thinks that I was sensationalizing, she is mistaken. I left out the most disturbing details. I tried to generalize the nature of the crimes. At one point I thought, I can’t listen to this, I’m going to have to leave. But my next thought was

that I owe it to that child to sit here and listen, in solidarity with her, to the things she was forced to endure for years. Who am I to think I can’t even hear the things she had to live with?

There’s a saying in Mary Faith Bell the therapy community Editor that we’re as sick as our secrets. This child victim does not have to keep that secret anymore. We, the community, will hold the knowledge of those crimes for her now, so she doesn’t have to bear them alone.

I think it’s true for communities as well as individuals, that we’re as sick as our secrets. Child abuse in our midst should not be a secret, we should all be talking about it; not in the sense of prurient gossip, but we should be asking the important questions: how could this go on? Who knew about it? Who knew and didn’t tell? Who suspected? Why wasn’t she helped sooner? How did we fail her?

As a community we should have a zero tolerance policy for any kind of child abuse, and that starts with facing up to it, seeing it, naming it, calling it what it is, watching for signs and getting involved.

Phyllis states that the article I wrote is “re-victimizing the victim,” by naming the crimes and including the information that the child victim was related to the perpetrator.

Daniel were sentenced to 37 and 29 years in prison, respectively, for their crimes against the child victim. In the process of victimizing her, they also victimized her brothers. There was no way to report on these crimes without mentioning that they were related.

Re-victimizing the victim is what happens when a victim is put on the witness stand and made to undergo hostile questioning designed to discredit their testimony. That’s not what happened here. If the child read my article, as Phyllis suggested, what I hope she got out of it is that the people who hurt her committed terrible crimes. What happened to her was wrong, it was against the law, it wasn’t her fault, and that it was so serious that those people will be locked up for decades for what they did. Not for a few years, but for dozens of years, and a lot of people believe that they should never get out at all. Those crimes should never have happened to her, and by virtue of the perpetrators’ long prison sentences, everyone knows how wrong it was. Some murderers serve less time in prison than Matthew and Daniel Hamilton will for their crimes against this child.

It is the job of the paper to report and to record what is happening in the community including crime and how it is adjudicated. Crimes against children shouldn’t be whitewashed for any reason.

Finally, the newspaper has an obligation to the public to report on the work of the DA and the judges whom we have elected to represent our interests in office.

READERS’ OPEN FORUM No excuse for racial slurs Re-victimizing the victim I recently had an incident regarding a racial slur; it was aimed at one of my kids and affected my grandson who was with her, as well. I am part of the Student Government for TBCC and was there with my youngest daughter and my oldest grandson decorating the tree in the foyer of our school.

I walked away and some young ladies came toward the front and one stated, "Oh look, it's a Mexican tree decorating crew!”

Simply because she used to be friends with my daughter and has a silly grudge is no excuse for tossing slurs. My daughter is not attending college here and probably won't; she informed me that if that is how the smart kids act, she will gladly stay stupid. As if that isn't enough, now my innocent grandson is asking while attempting to copy the tone of voice used what a Mexican decorating crew is!

I was raised in Las Vegas and I am far from having feelings hurt, I am mad, not upset.

In college you should have learned a little respect for yourself and be able to control your personal little issues; otherwise you may go outside of Tillamook to a big school and find out how far those comments will get you. Think before you speak, we all need to remember to do this.

Toni Perez Tillamook

I am so appalled by the article in the Headlight Herald regarding the sentence for Matthew Hamilton I barely have the words – well, I have the words, they are not printable.

I do not understand why such details would be printed about the crimes against a child.

Is it to sell more papers in this day of digital news? To give the details that this child was related to Matthew Hamilton certainly narrows down the victim in a community where everyone knows everyone.

Did the author not consider that this child now may be of age to pick up the paper and read about crimes committed against her and know that now the details are out there for anyone to read? Did the author not consider how that would traumatize anyone, let alone a child?

The only words that I have that are printable are SHAME ON YOU!

Thank you Rockaway Beach P.D. and Chief Wortman A few months ago, I had the distinct pleasure of contacting the Rockaway Beach Police Dept. to report identity theft.

Upon arrival at the P.D., I was cordially & professionally greeted by a volunteer.

Chief Ed Wortman arrived at the office momentarily & took my report. In coordination with

Multnomah County law enforcement detectives, the investigation began immediately. In less than 24 hours Chief Wortman had already acquired suspect information.

Long story short, suspect was found guilty & sentenced.

None of this would have been possible without the timely & professional manner in which Chief Wortman took care of business.

THANK YOU, SIR!

Thoughts about armaments Recently two articles as offshoots of the slaughter of innocent children, adults and children in malls, in theatres, brought to mind thoughts about armaments. The two boys who found a loaded gun below their seat in the theatre acted with skill in alerting an adult. They obviously were educated in the way of gun safety and responsibility. The gun owner, saying "oh, it must have fallen out of my holster"...what valid reason could anyone possibly have to take a gun to a movie theatre? We have experienced this stupid attitude before, when a neighbor brought a gun to a restaurant with us; it fell out of his belly pack. It occurred to me that a gun and an automobile can both be lethal weapons. We test and license automobile drivers, why not gun owners? With the gun license test should be an examination to determine men-

tal and emotional stability and responsibility. The NRA wants MORE GUNS...armed guards at schools? It is insane.

Partisan politics stall aid to storm victims When there is trouble, Americans have always stood together and helped each other. That is what friends and neighbors do. That is what Americans do. Within hours after the storm Sandy had slowed down President Obama personally visited people who had just lost their homes, the power was still out, there was no water, food or medicine available. He, as the elected voice of America, told those people that this country would not desert them, that we would be there for them. He said red tape would be cut to get them what they so desperately needed. He directed his staff that every phone call must be returned within 15 minutes, no matter who called or what they wanted.

Over 60 days later help had still not arrived because the Republicans in Congress were playing their political games. That is the most despicable, UN-American thing I have seen. I will have no part in a Party that would do such things to their fellow Americans.

OFFICIALS TAKE OFFICE

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, January 9, 2013 - Page A5

Continued from Page A1

“Gary said that he forgot the handgun when he was called to the front of the store.”

Quackenbush told the Deputy that he thought a female customer who used the restroom had stolen the gun.

However, the deputy reported, “On December 16, 2011, I received a voice mail from Gary Quackenbush stating that he had located the weapon in the restroom behind the toilet.”

Quackenbush had a concealed handgun license when he took a loaded handgun to see the movie, The Hobbit. The gun apparently fell out of Quackenbush’s holster, into the theater seat, and he did not realize he didn’t have it until he got home that night.

The reckless endangerment charge is related to the fact that Quackenbush, knowing that he left his loaded gun in the theater, did not call the police to

report it missing; instead, he waited almost 24 hours to return to the theater to retrieve it, by which time seventh graders on a class trip had found the gun. It was loaded, with a round in the chamber and the safety off.

Quackenbush’s concealed handgun license has been revoked. He was booked and released Dec. 31. The conditions of his release include that he not possess firearms, weapons or ammunition outside of his residence; that he submit to random searches; and that he “not go on the premises identified as the Coliseum Theater.”

Quackenbush applied for and was denied a court appointed attorney; the denial was based upon equity in his business and home. His next court appearance is February 11 for a pre-trial hearing.

STALKING: After graduating on the Dean’s List, Dion applied to OHSU, and was one of 30 accepted out of 300 applicants.

She earned a degree as a dental hygienist and went to work soon after. As a student at OSU, Dion had entered the Oregon National Guard, rising to the rank of sergeant.

“It helped pay for her schooling and Dion loved the challenge,” Gayle recalled.

Dion’s unit was not deployed. Instead, she worked with other medical staff to prepare troop units for deployment, giving them vaccinations and taking care of their dental health.

“She really loved it,” Gayle said. “Once or twice a year she would help 500 soldiers get ready to go.”

Always athletic, Dion also was a body builder.

“She was so petite, they called her Mini Rambo,” Gayle said.

THE STALKER

It was at her gym in Salem that Dion met another bodybuilder, Manuel Tovar, 31, a sanitation worker and former Marion County Sheriffs reserve deputy. They started dating in September of 2002. They had not been dating long when Dion told her mother that her new boyfriend was coming on too strong.

“She said he was just moving too fast. He would shower her with attention and gifts. He immediately wanted to marry her and he had started to become real controlling,” Gayle recalled.

So Dion tried to break it off, but Tovar kept pursuing.

“He would stay at her door all night long,” Gayle said.

“One day, she called me from work and told me he was watching her through her office window. And she said she believed he was following her to and from work.

For a time, Dion relented and began seeing him again before finally breaking it off for good.

That’s when things turned from bad to worse.

Gayle said Tovar began beating on Dion’s doors and windows for hours at a time. He would break into her apartment while she was at work and leave gifts – flowers, jewelry, even an engagement ring. So Dion got the locks changed, but Tovar continued. He bombarded her with hundreds of emails

and voice mail messages.

“She never told me she was afraid,” Gayle said. “I offered to stay with her in Salem, but she was sure she could take care of this herself.”

THE LAST NIGHT

On Saturday evening, Feb. 1, 2003, Dion was in her apartment with one of her National Guard colleagues watching a movie.

“She and a few friends from her unit had just come back from a meeting and they all headed over to Dion’s apartment,” Gayle explained. Two of them went to get some beer and a third young man stayed behind with her to wait for them.

While Dion and her colleague were in the living room, Tovar broke into the south Salem apartment through Dion’s bedroom window. He had with him the service revolver he had carried as a Sheriff’s Department reservist.

Tovar made his way to the living room, where he brutally kicked Dion’s friend in the head until he was unconscious. Then he forced Dion outside and into her Toyota Corolla. He made her drive while, it is believed, he held the gun to her ribs.

They headed for Interstate 5.

After the car entered the freeway, however, it went into the ditch near the Ankeny Hill exit.

“I believe that Dion purposefully wrecked the car in an effort to get away from him,” Gayle explained.

What came next was horrific, Gayle said.

Reports at the time said police were not sure of the exact order of events. But they do know that sometime before or after the crash, Tovar shot Dion in the ribs. Then, as she was trying to escape from the car, he shot twice more. One shot hit her in the shoulder. The third hit her in the head and brought her down. As she fell, she was struck by a passing bigrig truck.

Her tragic struggle was over.

The following Thursday, Tovar’s body floated to the surface in a pond just 300 yards from where Dion had died. He had ended his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Gayle would later learn that Tovar had a history of stalking and terrorizing other women he had known.

The two just belong together.

AFTERMATH

Now, nearly a decade later, Gayle still relives the horror of the event.

“When I saw the officers at my front door that night, I instantly knew what had happened. They didn’t need to tell me. I looked at them and said, ‘Manny killed my daughter.’”

Gayle said she knows now how important it is to take stalking seriously.

“What I would tell any parent now is that, no matter what the cost or difficulty, get your loved one out of that situation as fast as you can.

“If I had known then what I know now, I would have found a way to move her out of state somehow. But it all happened

so fast, we really didn’t have time to evaluate the threat.”

Martin has jumped in the ocean in years past, but this year he and many others decided to participate as photographers. The event, now in its 9th year, is becoming increasingly well documented. Hundreds of photos and dozens of videos of this year’s plunge have been uploaded to Facebook pages and YouTube, and most participants will have little trouble finding photographic evidence of their bravery.

While he wasn’t planning on jumping into the ocean this year, Martin and many other photographers took the plunge anyway, when an unexpectedly large surge came in and soaked him to his waist, clothes and all.

Janice Gaines, owner of Spa

Continued from Page A1 Manzanita and founder of the Polar Plunge is amazed at how the simple celebration has grown.

“It started nine years ago.

There were four of us. There are only two of us still in the original cast of characters,” she said.

It’s grown by word of mouth, as local papers continue to cover it, and through Spa Manzanita’s base of customers.

“I’m stoked,” Gaines said.

“I’m looking forward to the next 10 years to see what it brings.”

Asked why so many people flock to the Plunge, Gaines, still dripping wet in a black bikini and tutu, said, “because it’s fun.

And Dr. Seuss said ‘these things are fun and fun is good.’”

LINCOLN

1994. As part of his role as Lieutenant, Mike’s long time friend and superior Sheriff Tom Dye handed over the direction of Parole and Probation to Mike.

Mike was instrumental in modernizing the Corrections Programs for Tillamook County, his visions allowed for alternative options for the judicial system.

It seemed as though Mike was more successful the more projects he was given; Mike took on yet another project in 1996 -he was the construction coordinator and Sheriff’s representative for the building of the Tillamook County Justice Center. No matter the challenges he faced, Mike always found a way to serve the citizens of Tillamook County.

This was the highlight of Mike’s career.

Mike’s professionalism and loyalty to the best interest of public safety for the citizens of Tillamook County was recognized in many ways. Being named Oregon Jail Manager of the Year in 1996 was one of the ways Mike was honored.

Mike continued serving his community in his retirement by volunteering his time at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds.

Mike was very active and enjoyed many outdoor activities.

He fished regularly and enjoyed his annual hunting trips with his long time hunting buddies. He enjoyed fighter planes and was given a gift by his wife to be able fly one of the fighter planes.

Grace Ellen Turnbull Willis Grace Ellen Turnbull Willis, 80, was born Feb. 27, 1932 to Richard Turnbull and Margaret Wolf Turnbull in Lewiston, Idaho. She passed away Dec. 27, 2012 in Raymond, Wash., surGRACE rounded by WILLIS her loving family.

Grace grew up and attended grade school in Lewiston, where she took dance and music lessons. Her family moved to Richland, Wash. where she went to high school. She met and fell in love with Charles Willis and they were married Feb. 14, 1948.

They had four children, Charlotte in 1950, Mary in 1951, Jim in 1952 and Susan in 1955.

During the 42 years they were married Grace was a loving wife, devoting all her time and energy to caring for her family and home. She loved to sew with her girls and was an amazing seamstress; sewing school dresses, formals and Susie's wedding dress.

Crafting, gardening, cooking and canning were also favorite past times. Grace was a Cub Scout

den mother for her son Jimmy and enjoyed helping with 4-H Club.

Charles and Grace had many adventures with their children; moving all over the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, following construction work. She drove the Alaskan Highway at age 28 with the four children to meet Charles who was working in Anchorage.

The family laughs about how Grace made the trip in only four days with small children, when it took Charles six days to travel the highway.

They also had a dairy farm in Sunnyside and Outlook, Wash.

They spent hours playing cards and loved to go out dancing with friends.

In 1990 Charles passed away and this started a new chapter in Grace's ·life. She moved to Pahrump, Nevada, to be close to her mother. While she was there she met Lloyd Bishop and was privileged to love and be loved by him for the next 17 years.

They were best friends and loved to play bingo and eat out together.

In 2009 Lloyd passed and Grace moved in with her daughter Mary, who lovingly cared for her, and her husband Bill in Raymond.

Grace was a garage sale queen, and could never pass up a sale or thrift store looking for a special treasure. One of the new joys of her life was the opening of Grace's Gallery (named for her) by her son Jimmy. She contributed many items to sell and sometimes would buy them back and take them home to enjoy.

Grace was full of life and loved to laugh, giggle, wiggle, dance and do her Miss America routine. She liked to talk politics and debate. She loved music and to sing little childhood ditties. She was known to beat her grandkids in Yahtzee and love it. She loved to flirt and appreciated a goodlooking man, including Alex Trebek from Jeopardy.

Grace's legacy and love were her children, Charlotte (Mike) Verley of Irrigon, OR, Mary (Bill) Reed of Raymond, WA, Jimmy Willis of South Bend, WA, and Susie (Hans) DeVries of Tillamook; her grandchildren Chris (Summer), Danny (Brandi), Cindy (Jim), Sheri, Scott (Kim), Wendy (Geoff), Dennis (Amanda), Mindy (Chip), Melissa, Kimberly (Matthew), Matt (Lauren), Nonda (Ken), Gary (Meloni), Nancy (Bob), Andrew, Shawn (Katherine), Sara Grace (Ryan) and numerous great grandchildren, a sister Rose (Ray) McDonald of Anchorage, AK and many extended family and friends also survive Grace.

She was presided in death by her husband Charles, friend Lloyd, and one grandson, Steve DeVries.

A celebration of life was held at the Lebam Community Church on Saturday, December 29, 2012. Inurnment services were held at 11 a.m. Sunday, January 6, 2013 at the Riverview Cemetery in Irrigon, Oregon.

Memorials may be made to the Lebam Community Church or the Willapa Harbor Hospital in Grace's memory. Arrangements are in care of Stoller's Mortuary in Raymond.

Robert Clifton Northrop Robert (Bob) Clifton Northrop, 59, of Notus, ID, passed away January 5, 2013 at home after a battle with cancer.

He will be remembered by his family as a man who served in many capacities throughout his life, whether it was helping a friend move, cleaning up after a flood, or in his church callings.

He always served with a contagious smile.

Bob was born to Cliff and Mildred Northrop of Payette, ID. He graduated from Payette High School in 1971. The next year Bob married his eternal sweetheart Linda Thomas of Weiser, ID. Bob honorably served in the U.S. Army. Later he earned a B.S. in Ag Education from Utah

State University. Bob put his education to good use as an instructor at Clatsop Community College. He later achieved his dream of owning and operating a Jersey dairy farm with his family in Tillamook, Oregon. He later went on to touch many lives as an advisor at Tongue Pointe (Astoria, OR) and Centennial Job Corps (Nampa, ID).

Robert is survived by his wife Linda Northrop, and children Stephanie & Aaron Henderson, Jennifer & Bryan Nestripke, Robert & Sheila Northrop Jr, Terra Northrop, Trevor & Misty Northrop, his mother Mildred Northrop, and brother Mike Northrop. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Janet Northrop, his father Cliff Northrop, his sister Sherena Coffman, and his brother Gary Northrop.

The viewing will be held Friday January 11 at 11:30 a.m. followed by the funeral at 1:00 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 3015 S. Kimball Ave., Caldwell, Idaho.

Sherry Lynn Beebe Sherry Lynn Beebe, 68, died January 5, 2013 after a three-year battle with cancer. She was born April 25, 1944 to Dick and Louise (Jeffery) Dixson in Fullerton, CA. She married Jerry Beebe June 2, 1963 in Buena Park, CA and they were married for almost fifty years.

Except for owning a restaurant in Grants Pass for ten years in the 70s and early 80s, Sherry was an elderly caregiver for most of her working life, starting when she was only seventeen. She owned Pleasant Valley Adult Foster Care in Tillamook for twelve years until cancer forced her to close.

She enjoyed reading and crafts, but her biggest love was her family; she enjoyed genealogy and keeping family together with yearly reunions. Sherry will be dearly missed by all of her family and friends.

The family wish to convey a very special thanks to Dr. Rex Parsons, and to Dr. Gerald Gibbs and his wonderful staff of nurses for really caring, and also a thank you to best friend Lois Hutchinson for her support.

County commissioners hear mill upgrade plans

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners’ first meeting of 2013 was primarily a housekeeping session. Mark Labhart is the commission’s chair this year (the chairmanship rotates annually), and new commissioner Bill Baertlein is vicechair (because of the way the chairmanship rotates). Tim Josi, who chaired the Board of Commissioners last year, this year is just “commissioner.”

Chris Stirk, plant manager of Stimson Lumber, was on hand to update the county commissioners on the latest upgrade at the company’s mill – a $3.5 million project. Stimson employs 100 people at their Tillamook mill, which they’ve owned since 2003.

“We won’t be building a new building this time,” Stirk told the commissioners. “We’ll be adding a vertical twin band line and re-routing the mill. It gives us two extra saws,” Stirk said.

The project is the second phase of a 3-phase project.

“Phase 1,” which started in 2011, “was a different way to break a log down,” Stirk said. It was intended to squeeze 7% more fiber out of logs, and actually managed to get 10%, he said. “Phase 3,” scheduled to start in 2014, will result in optimized edgers. “After Phase 3, we’ll have a modern sawmill,” Stirk said.

“I came to ask for continued

support in what we do,” Stirk told the commissioners. “We just finished – and renewed – a 10-year contract with the Port of Tillamook Bay. We plan to be here a very long time.”

Stimson “is one of our anchor tenants out there” at the Port of Tillamook Bay, Baertlein noted. “They’ve also been a good partner in management of our state forests,” Josi added.

Stirk also announced he was seeking help with the Boy Scouts. He’s been the local chairman the last two years, but was appointed in November to be the bishop of Tillamook’s 500-member LDS church congregation. “I’m looking for other leaders,” he said. “We are struggling a little bit.” The Tillamook area has roughly 80 registered Scouters, in five troops and four Cub Scout packs.

Commission chair Labhart urged attendance at the three “sustainable roads committee” meetings scheduled for the week -- in Pacific City Jan. 7, Manzanita Jan. 8, and at Tillamook Bay Community College Jan. 9. “It appears the committee will present something to the county commissioners for the May ballot,” Labhart said.

In other business, the county commissioners: Authorized county public works director Liane Welch to re-apply for Federal Highway Administration funds to improve Slab Creek Rd. in

southern Tillamook County. The county had been awarded $6.3 million, Welch said, but in 2012 Congress cancelled the program that was providing the funds.

There is a new program now, Welch said, but it requires a 10% match by the county (the old program didn’t require the county to put up any money).

“Where we come up with the 10% is a big issue,” Josi said, “but we can’t afford not to apply.”

Re-appointed Susan Emerson, Terry Jones and Gale Ousele to the county planning commission.

Declared a county vehicle – a sheriff’s patrol car – surplus, and directed it to be sold. “It was sideswiped by a log truck,” county staff Paul Levesque told commissioners. “We will do our best to recover some money out of it.”

Voted to extend an option to purchase a parcel of land identified for acquisition in the Southern Flow Corridor flood-control project. The county has had an option on the property for two years, Levesque told commissioners, “but it hasn’t been exercised because of uncertainty of FEMA funding.” FEMA has denied funding for the project, and their decision is being appealed. “We expect to hear any day what the results of the appeal will be,” Levesque said.

The commissioners voted to extend the option for another two years.

Thirty birders counted 22,618 birds of 125 species during the Tillamook Bay Christmas Bird Count (CBC) circle on Dec. 15.

Over the 49 years of the Tillamook Bay CBC, 238 species have been seen. No new species were seen on this count.

This year's total of 125 species was lower than the average of 130.

New high numbers were set for one species – there were three Band-tailed Pigeons seen. One species was seen for only the second time – the Long-eared Owl. The day was marked by nearly constant rain, drenching at times. At the same time,

tides were very high. In short, birding was difficult because of the rain and birds may have been dispersed because of the water.

The Tillamook Bay CBC circle is 15 miles in diameter, covering about 177 square miles, centered at the intersection of Hwy. 101 and Main Street in Bay City. Birders divided into parties concentrating on various sectors of the circle to count all the birds in that sector on count day.

The date for the 2013 Tillamook Bay CBC is set for Saturday, December 14. The count is open to birders of all skill levels. For more information about the Tillamook Bay CBC, contact the compiler,

Leadership key for Lady Mooks

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Lady Cheesemakers have dealt with controversy since before their season even started this year. They were unfortunate to lose so many great seniors from the year before, but the real dagger was losing three would-be seniors, who didn't come back for their final season. The losses were an immediate setback, but they certainly weren't a death sentence. Instead, losing so many players has given head coach Danielle Weber a chance to develop younger players into team leaders and improve the longterm future of the program.

That development continued when the Lady Mooks hosted the Newport Cubs on Jan. 4 in one of their final tests before Cowapa League play begins.

The game started with Tillamook taking an early lead, but some good outside shooting from the Cubs pulled Newport ahead 12-13 at the end of the first.

In the second quarter things started to come unraveled for Tillamook.

The full court press that has been giving Tillamook fits all season caused a few more turnovers, but wasn't the biggest issue for the Mooks.

What really hurt was Newport couldn't seem to miss a shot. “It was one of those things where you kind of had to pick your poison,� Weber said. “They had great outside shooting in the game. They must have shot over 50 percent from the field.�

Newport not only hit shots from the field, but they rained down threes as well and ended up going 5-8 from beyond the arc in the game. A lot of that came in the second quarter and extended the Newport lead to 30-19 at half.

Tillamook's offense wasn't good enough in the second half to come back from the lopsided second quarter. They were outscored 14-23 in the second half and eventually lost the game, 53-33. “Their big second quarter was the difference,� Weber said. “Especially the seven point swing right at the end of

the quarter. We didn't ever mentally recover from that.�

The score may have gone in favor of the Cubs, but Tillamook did a few things better than they had in past games, and a few of their constant producers continued to do their jobs.

Keleigh Hoopes is Tillamook's leading scorer and rebounder. She continued playing at a high level against Newport with 21 points and seven rebounds. Tillamook's other leading scorer in the game was sophomore guard Kaylin Hammond with eight points.

What Weber liked about Hammond's eight points how she got them and the aggressiveness she displayed. “Kaylin has a big job for us,� Weber said. “Her job is to bring the ball up the floor and set up our offense depending on what she sees. She's done such a good job leading, I've given her the freedom to call the plays as she sees fit most of the time.�

Hammond's leadership qualities are a welcome surprise for Tillamook. It's not that there was doubt she had the capabilities, it's that usually a sophomore isn't asked to do so much. “I knew Kaylin was going to be our point guard this summer,� Weber said. “I don't like to ask a sophomore to take on a leadership roll, but I had to ask her to step up for me. So far she's met all my expectations and then some. “I've been asking her to try and score more often and become more of a scoring threat for our team. She often would pass up a shot or a chance to drive to the basket and look for a pass instead.

Against Newport she started taking the ball to the basket which was great to see. She shot nine times, more than she usually does. If she keeps it up, she'll realize that her penetrating and looking for her own shot will open a lot more scoring for the rest of her teammates.�

The Lady Mooks played a non league game at Gladstone on Jan. 8. The score will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com. Then they'll

WE SUPPORT

in Tillamook County

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports For the fifth year in a row, the Nestucca Bobcats wrestlers led by head coach Cameron Mitchem took their talents on the road to the Bob Bishop Invitational wrestling tournament at Willamina High School on Jan 5. According to Mitchem, the tournament is known for having plenty of talented wrestlers and some high caliber programs taking the mats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bob Bishop is always solid competition and this year was no different,â&#x20AC;? Mitchem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A schools in the tournament so the brackets were full of good wrestlers. Plus Dallas, last year's 5A State Champions, were there so that immediately turns up the competition level.â&#x20AC;?

This year's event featured 16 teams and the Bobcats held their own. They ended up finishing 12th as a team, but there were a few circumstances that came into play, inhibiting them from doing even better than that.

Lucas Leslie and Nate Parks took second and third in the 152 pound weight class with Leslie losing the championship match.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, a team can only get one score out of each weight class, so Nate Parks points for a very strong third place finish were wasted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had we have gotten Lucas' and Nate's points, we'd have probably finished in ninth place or better,â&#x20AC;? Mitchem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wrestled them in the same weight class this time on purpose, but when we get to districts, we'll spread our wrestlers out better and make sure that doesn't happen again.â&#x20AC;?

Also wrestling well for the Bobcats were freshmen Ryan Leslie and Anthony Sutherland.

Leslie was one match away from placing at 126 pounds and Sutherland came back from trailing 6-0 at one point in a match to get the pin in the third period.

Pirates battle through first half of league play CATS: Headlight Herald Sports

The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirate girl's basketball team was almost through the first half of their league season when they traveled to Vernonia on Jan. 4 to take on the Lady Loggers in a Northwest League battle.

The Pirates were sitting at 2-2 in league with wins over Delphian and Nestucca while Vernonia was 3-1 in league and their only loss was a one point loss to Portland Christian early in the season.

The Pirates did everything they could against the high powered and very experienced Lady Loggers, but Vernonia had too much size and speed for Neah-Kah-Nie to handle.

“I'd say Vernonia is the favorite to win the league,” said Lady Pirate coach Corey Douma. “My girls got after it and played hard, but they couldn't handle the pressure defense from Vernonia.

“For some reason they looked out of shape and were sucking wind right from the start of the game. We'll work on that and work on playing through the pressure defense instead of looking like deer in headlights this week.”

good pieces,” Douma said. “A lot of people think Riverdale will win the league, but I think Vernonia will give them a run for their money.”

The Pirates fell to 2-3 in league play, but every time they take the floor they're getting better. Not many teams can say they have four freshmen on the roster that are making big contributions to the team. The Pirates do in the form of Annie Romig, Elana Holm, Kelly Swanson and Amy Sherman.

“There's times when all RICH ROMIG PHOTO four of my freshman are on Regardless of their record, the the floor at the same time,” Pirates’ effort is excellent this Douma said. “They're all intense and they all play hard.” season.

“Any time I can get my freshman going out there against top quality competition and get a few wins, I feel good about it,” Mitchem said.

“There's no substitute for time on the mat competing at a high level and wrestling good matches.”

At heavyweight Sam Kenagy also wrestled well taking fourth place overall.

To get more matches, the Bobcats also had a few wrestlers going in the JV side of the tournament. Michael Bailey was one of those wrestlers, but after going 4-0 in the 138 pound class, he won't

be wrestling at the JV level long.

Cody Fouche also wrestled well in the JV ranks, taking fourth place in his wight class.

“Overall I'm very happy with how my kids wrestled,” Mitchem said. “I think everyone won at least one match and that will be the last time we have guys in the same weight classes. The guys are starting to come around and get to their regular weights so this should be the last time we have anyone doubled up.”

Mitchem has said over and over that his team's inexperience is by far their highest hur-

dle, but says they've been climbing that mountain all year and will continue getting to where they need to be.

“I bet if you took our five best wrestlers, they might only have 100 matches between all of them,” Mitchem said.

“That's not very many, but the guys are progressing. Maybe not as fast as I'd like to see, but they're getting better and I'm starting to be able to see the gains.”

The Bobcats will have next week off and won't compete again until they wrestle in the Mook Mat Club Tournament on Jan. 25.

Mooks “came off Christmas break” at Bearcat Invitational

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook Cheesemaker wrestling team has been nothing short of unstoppable the last seven or so years and this year's team is shaping up to be another one of the good ones. The boys are tough, determined and loaded with Mook pride. Pride that has given many team members the needed drive to push themselves to the next level.

On Jan. 5, the Cheesemakers took their Mook Tough team on the road to Chehalis, WA to test their talents against 13 other teams in the Bearcat Invitational tournament.

Of the 14 teams entered in the tournament, Tillamook fared pretty well by most team's standards. They took second place overall with a team score of 162.5 points, 27 points behind the champion Yelm High School.

While a second place finish in a 14 team tournament may seem like an excellent finish, Tillamook head coach Lonnie

Eggert didn't have a pile of great things to say about his team’s overall performance.

“We wrestled like we just came off of Christmas break,” Eggert said.

While Eggert was less than excited about his teams performance, there were a few wrestlers that wrestled well for Tillamook, even if it wasn't their best.

Jake Fowler, Jonas AyalaSanchez, Billy Prince, Gabe Witlatch and Marcus Cheney all took third place in their perspective weight classes for Tillamook.

Making it all the way to the championship match before being beaten was Tillamook junior Logan Weeks.

The only Cheesemaker to make it all the way to the finals and come away with the championship was Justin Coon.

“Justin wrestled well and seems to be improving each week,” Eggert said. “Logan wrestled some great matches to make the finals only to

come up short.”

Eggert has always been a huge proponent of getting better every day and peaking at the right time of the year. The Bearcat Invitational was a big tournament, but not the granddaddy of them all and Eggert is looking forward to moving ahead.

“We will start to gear up for league and Classics in Redmond in two weeks,” Eggert said. “We have lots of room to grow as a team. We have had some illness and injuries so we look forward to getting healthy in the upcoming weeks.”

The “Classic” Eggert referred to is the Oregon Classic tournament in Redmond on Jan 18-19. The Classic is possibly the biggest and toughest tournament in the state. Before the Cheesemakers get there they will have one more warm up meet. They'll be wrestling in the Pac Rim tournament in Seaside on Jan. 11-12.

Tourism symposium in March Travel Oregon CEO Todd Davidson has accepted an invitation to provide the keynote address for the 2013 Tillamook County Tourism Symposium. In addition to his top leadership position with the Oregon Tourism Commission, Davidson was tapped earlier this year by U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson to serve as chair of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board. Todd’s appointment to chair the advisory board followed President Barack Obama’s Executive Order laying out a strategy for increasing international travel to the U.S. The theme for the second annual Tillamook County Tourism Symposium, which will held Monday, March 18, 2013, is “Connecting our County’s Bounty - The Economic Benefits of Synergy.”

The symposium is dedicated to increasing the economic benefits of tourism, by hundreds of millions of dollars, to Tillamook County, which can be realized through increased dialogue, cooperation and leadership

between and among city and county governments.

Travel and tourism is a $1.2 trillion sector of the U.S. economy or nearly three percent of Gross Domestic Product, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Travel and tourism is among a select group of economic segments where the U.S. frequently produces a trade surplus. Tourism is also one of the top employers for over half of the U.S. states and territories. In Tillamook County current destination spending is approaching $200 million per year. Symposium organizers believe that number can be doubled within the current decade through the combined efforts of everyone in the County working together to promote and enhance tourism.

Business sponsorships are welcome, and the Garibaldi House Inn and the Blue Heron

French Cheese Company (both inaugural sponsors of the symposium) have already agreed to participate for the second year.

The Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce has also indicated a desire to become a sponsor.

The Tillamook County Tourism Symposium is a cooperative effort by the Tillamook County Economic Development Council and the City of Garibaldi Tourism Commission, in conjunction with numerous volunteers. Participation in the symposium is by invitation, seating is limited, and priority is given to governmental decision makers within Tillamook County.

For information regarding the 2013 Tourism Symposium, or to request an invitation or apply for a sponsorship, contact Carla Lyman with the Economic Development Council at lyman@tillamookbay.cc or 503 842 8222, ext. 1420.

Mook boys play well in Stayton

BY JOSIAH DAER

Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook boys basketball team has been on one long road trip as of late. They took off and played in the annual Stayton Holiday Classic back in December. The Cheesemakers played three games in three days, winning two of them.

They lost their opening game of the tournament to Madras, 47-33. Then they came roaring back to get back to back wins, beating Brookings-Harbor 5340 and then putting down La Grande 69-47.

After they got back from Christmas break, the Mook men had to travel to Newport on Jan. 4 to take on the Newport Cubs.

Tillamook hung with Newport all game long, but in the

end fall to the Cubs, 42-37.

There were multiple reasons Tillamook won or lost each game and their head coach Greg Werner was happy to explain what happened in each game.

“Against Madras our defense kept us in the game until the fourth quarter when they gapped the score out on us by hitting multiple free throws down the stretch,” Werner said.

“Against Brookings we defended the perimeter well and forced them into low percentage shots which in turn helped our rebounding stats. We had balanced scoring inside and out.

“Against LaGrande our defense once again allowed us to rebound and run the floor.

Jacob Hurliman and David

Waud both had double doubles in points and rebounds while our guards had a two-to-one assist to turnover ratio.”

In the latest game against Newport, The Cheesemakers played good defense, but their lack of scoring was ultimately the difference maker.

“Newport our defense held strong in the second half but our lack of scoring did not allow us an opportunity to take the lead and not have to chase their spread offense,” Werner said.

Tillamook had one more leg of their long road trip before returning home to face Cascade at 7 p.m. on Jan 11. They traveled to Gladstone on Jan. 8 to place the Gladiators. The score of that game will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com.

FARM TO FORK

HEADLIGHT HERALD • JANUARY 9, 2013

‘ReliefAct’continues farm programs – for 9 months

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The American Taxpayer Relief Act passed in the closing hours of Congress’ 2012 “lame duck” (postelection) session, includes a little relief for dairy farmers, too—but not much.

Among the provisions in the 157-page law that continued income tax breaks, extended unemployment benefits, provided tax credits for 2-and-3-wheeled electric vehicles and for hiring Native Americans, and a special “depreciation model” for sports complexes that seat more than 70,000 people and have races more than seven days a year, were two sections dealing with agriculture.

One extended until next Sept.

30—nine months from now—provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill – the “Food, Conservation & Energy Act of 2008,” which had expired last Oct. 1. The other extended supplemental agriculture disaster assistance.

National farmers’ organizations had panned the end-2012 bill, because it didn’t include provisions that had been in a Farm Bill passed by the U.S. Senate back in June.

That legislation had a hearing before the House Agriculture Committee, but was never brought to a vote. Instead, existing programs are continued for another nine months.

“We’re not quite happy with it,” Shawn Riersgaard told the Headlight Herald. “There are some important-to-dairy provisions that didn’t get approved.” Riersgaard is director of environmental and political affairs for the Tillamook Coun-

“We’re not quite happy with it. There are some importantto-dairy provisions that didn’t get approved.”

- Shawn Riersgaard, director of environmental and political affairs for the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) ty Creamery Association (TCCA).

Chief among those is a form of crop insurance that would apply to dairies. That was in the farm bill that passed the Senate, but not in the Relief Act enacted at the end of December, which just continued existing programs.

“The crux of the issue is what a safety net should look like,” Riersgaard said. Currently, there are milk production caps if the price drops.

“Most producers of dairy products hate that,” he said. Small farmers had wanted an insurance program instead, that would allow them to produce more. Big producers, on the other hand, prefer “supply management,” which protects market share.

MILC – the Milk Income Loss Contract, a feature of the 2008 Farm Bill that got continued – “has provided some support, but not enough to affect the profitability of

dairy,” Mark Wustenberg, TCCA’s Vice-president of operations, said.

The support “triggers” are “so far below the cost of production they’re meaningless,” Wustenberg said. “And I’m not sure how many of our producers would qualify.”

One of the biggest items impacting dairy profitability is the price of feed. “The cost of feeding has gone up tremendously,” Wusterberg said.

Feed costs have risen because of Federal regulations requiring motor fuel to have specified percentages of ethanol, which has reduced the supply of corn available for animal – and human – feed. “I don’t think there was anything in there (the Relief Act) that would have affected feed costs.”

While the Relief Act offers only nine months of predictability, both Riersgaard and Wustenberg expected some sort of longer-term farm legislation to be enacted in 2013.

The bill that passed the U.S. Senate seemed to have widespread support, they suggested, though it was never brought to a vote in the House. “We need a great deal more certainty in the industry,” Riersgaard said.

Not only does agriculture get less attention in Congress, like the National Grange and other farmers’ organizations have suggested, but dairy farming is only a small part of agriculture discussions, Wustenberg said. “Three-quarters of farm legislation isn’t farm-related. It’s the food stamp program. It has to do with food-security stuff.” Dairy will be part of the discussion, he said, “but it’ll be focused on SNAP (food stamps) and larger commodity groups – cotton, corn, and rice.”

The secrets of perfect piecrust revealed Have you ever wished you could make the kind of piecrust people rave about?

The Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) presents a rare opportunity to learn this skill from a professional pastry chef, Kim Miller. The three-hour workshop entitled “Secrets to Making a Great Pie Crust,” will take place on Friday, January 25, from 4 – 7 p.m.

Miller, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of the Arts

has run commercial pastry shops in the Midwest and the Pacific Northwest. She will instruct participants in making different kinds of flaky, tender, tasty piecrust pastry.

“Cooking is chemistry,” said Kim, “you’ve got to know why you are choosing one ingredient over another and how the quantities, temperatures and techniques affect the outcome. With pastries of all kinds, including pie crust, this is critical to achieving the results you

are looking for.”

Workshop members will mix, taste and roll out the different varieties and will take home a piecrust or two ready to fill. Kim also promises a tasty savory snack to enjoy during workshop breaks.

This hands-on workshop fills fast and is limited to 10 participants. Come ready to roll up your sleeves and cook. Tuition is $25 for members of LNCT and $35 for non-members.

To sign up for the workshop, become a member of the Trust, or both, call 503368-3203.

A reminder from the Lower Nehalem Community Trust to save the date for the popular, delicious “Pie Day/Night” pie auction and all-you-can-eat pie feast, on Saturday, January 26, 7 p.m. at Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church in Nehalem. Watch for more information in the next

Start a pie baking tradition

BY MARY FAITH BELL Mfbell@countrymedia.net

With the LNCT/Food Roots “Pie Day/night” extravaganza coming up January 26 in Nehalem, it is the perfect time to focus on apple pie, the all American favorite. The annual joint fundraiser will offer opportunities to bake, sell, buy and eat pies from the best bakers on the north coast. And you could be one of them!

Baking skills like how to make the perfect piecrust used to be handed down from generation to generation;

as society changed we developed some gaps in our knowledge about baking from scratch. But there is a growing trend happening now, people want to reclaim the old skills that their grandparents took for granted: growing, raising, butchering, preserving, cooking and baking, spending the time to prepare for our families real, wholesome food and desserts baked from scratch, like the pies we remember from our childhood.

This piecrust recipe has been in my family for generations. It’s simple, and with just a little practice you’ll be baking pies that are better than anything you can buy in a restaurant or store.

Recipe for 2-crust deep dish pie 3 cups all purpose flour 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Crisco shortening ½ cup plus 2 or 3 tablespoons cold water Mix flour and salt. Add shortening in chunks. Cut shortening into flour with the edge of a fork or with a pastry cutter until fat is incorporated into flour but not thoroughly, small lumps should remain.

Drizzle in ½ cup cold water and toss to moisten dough. Add more water a tablespoon at a time, just until dough will hold together when pressed into a disc. Avoid adding too much water.

Make two discs, one slightly larger than the other. Avoid handling the dough more than necessary. Lightly dust the countertop with flour. Roll larger disc out first. Dust flour pin

frequently. If dough begins to stick to the pin, wipe it off and dust it again.

Roll dough out in all directions, so it is in a circle shape, fairly thin and even in thickness, and big enough to fill your pie pan. You can hold the pie pan over the circle of dough to judge the size.

The dough will be stuck to the countertop. Release it with a long, sharp, flexible knife or an offset spatula, gently sliding the blade beneath the dough. Slide your fingers beneath the dough and lift it up, center it over the pie pan and then set it in. Press it in lightly so that it fits, and trim the overhanging edges to the edge of the pie pan.

(Save the edges; put them on a piece of foil on a cookie sheet. Add edges from top crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. These piecrust pieces are a favorite treat in my house.)

Fill pie with fruit filling, repeat instructions for top crust, and lay top crust over filling. Trim overhanging edges to match bottom crust. Dip a finger in water and run it along the edge of the bottom crust. Press crust edges together to seal, and gently tuck/roll the sealed edge under.

Crimp it or make a design around the edge, if desired. Cut vents into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put a large piece of heavy duty foil in the oven with the edges turned up slightly, to catch fruit juice drips. Use a silicone crust protector, or make a collar for the crust out of a long piece of tin foil, wrapped around the perimeter of the pie and crimped into place, to protect the edge of the pie from

browning too much.

Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.

Then lay a piece of foil loosely over the top of the pie, to prevent it from browning too much. Bake for 30 minutes and check it. The pie is done when the fruit inside is bubbling and tender. Use a paring knife to poke the fruit through one of the vents. If the apples are still firm, continue to bake another 15 or 20 minutes.

A deep dish green apple pie made with 8 apples will take about 1 hour 15 minutes to bake. A smaller pie with less filling will bake in a shorter time.

Apple pie filling for a deep dish pie 8 firm, tart medium sized apples, such as Granny Smith or Gravenstein,

peeled, cored, and thinly sliced ¾ to 1 ¼ cups sugar, depending on the sweetness of the apples, and your taste 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, you can substitute an additional ½ teaspoon cinnamon) ½ cup of flour Mix sugar, flour and spices with apples immediately before filling pie shell. Timing matters here: if you peel the apples too early they’ll get brown; if you let them sit in the sugar mixture they will produce a lot of juice before you get them in the pie shell. Ideally, have a helper prep the apples while you make the crust. Or make the crust first, then prep the apples and fill the crust. Heap apples into bottom crust; settle them with your hands. It will be a large mound, but will reduce by half as it bakes.

he New Year is here and in full swing -well almost, after I get awake, maybe. The weather although cold was absolutely beautiful, makes me look forward to summer. I thought I would be more excited about school resuming, but not so much. I am going to miss the business of having them all day, the break will be nice, quiet and ease up the arguing between the three of them.

We had a wonderful visit with family and friends; we were able to spend time with our niece and nephew from Vancouver, Washington. It was so much fun hearing the laughter of kids all threw the house, the only hard part is when they had to leave, our little girl and niece were both upset about leaving; they really did not want to go, so with a promise of seeing each other again soon they hugged and were on their way.

Still looking for that New Years resolution workout? Why not try the Manzanita Pace Setters walk/jog/run group; they

t's cold out! But seeing the sunshine for three days in a row this time of year is great. I'll put up with the cold wind to see the sun shining. And more cold nights, frosty mornings now and blue skies in the daytime for rest of the week.

I didn't get to the New Year's Eve party at the community center. James went to bed before 7 p.m. I've gone every year before and stayed up with no difficulty to midnight. Food, drinks and games kept me motivated. But this New Years Eve I went to bed at my usual time, 9:30 p.m. I was sleepy by then. New Year's Day I was busy taking down the Christmas tree and all the house decorations. James and I watched the Rose Parade in Pasadena on TV. Watched Stanford Cardinals beat Wisconsin Badgers. Also glad my favorite Seahawks won their

elated Happy New Year, everybody. We got to spend Christmas (plus a few days) out in the Gorge, in a place without Internet (we had snow on Christmas Day, which was nice); I’d had my column written, but had no way to file it. Thanks to all who said they missed me. I missed you, too.

Port of Garibaldi Commission will be meeting tonight (Jan. 9) at Rockaway Beach City Hall, at 7 p.m. One of the items on their agenda is appointing a new Port Commissioner to succeed Dave May of Rockaway, who resigned last month. The Port got five applicants for the position. The Port Commission meeting will be in a back conference room, because the Rockaway Beach City Council is meeting the same night (though

meet at 7:30 a.m., on Saturdays at the parking lot behind Spa Manzanita it helps to have someone to motivate you and workout with, so why not give it a try. Personally I know I made and had way too many goodies over the holidays so I guess, workout here I come. But if you did good over the holidays why not check out something for you and your little one like the Manzanita library they have story time at 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It's a great way to introduce your kids to books or just set to hear a good story and have a little time together. Hey, if you've got talent or know someone who does, let them know about the Community Talent Showcase at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita, at 7:00 p.m. on January 19th. The event will feature a variety of acts put on by local citizens. Auditions will be on Wednesday January 16th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Hoffman Center to select 12 - 15 acts for the show. The acts should be suitable for all ages and last no more than five minutes. So why not give it a try; if you have a talent for something show it off.

Admission to the January 19th show will be $10.00. All proceeds will go to support the Hoffman Center's general operating fund. Performer registration forms are available on the Hoffman Center’s website - hoffmanblog.org have some fun and support our local center, have a laugh

or two and keep dry in the January rain.

January 16th The Nehalem Bay Medical Reserve Corps and Auxiliary will be having a meeting at 6:30 p.m., at the North County Recreation District at 36155 9th street in Nehalem.

Come and learn about the community's disaster medical response plan and how you might assist in an emergency that isolates our community. The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is active in this planning. You can contact Dianne R. Bloom, MSM, MRC at 503-801-4080 for more information.

To Jessica Grimes: I am sorry we missed your Open House / Farewell - Happy Retirement from RTI party. I heard there were many people stopping by to say farewell and have a good retirement. I would like to wish you the best with where ever life takes you and Rod in these retirement years to have fun and enjoy life and smile while watching those grandchildren grow.

Hey, if you have already misstepped on your New Years Resolution, get back on it on January 12th since it is National Stick to your New Years Resolution Day!

game and 49ers won their game. Sorry Oregon State Beavers lost their game and so did the Cowboys.

The Oregon Ducks won their game January 3 over Kansas State 35-17. So Oregon Ducks won the Fiesta Bowl. 12 wins now and only the loss to Stanford and the Stanford team continued to win their next game. Chip Kelly should be very happy with his Ducks team. I sure am. What a good game and a great team.

The new series of "Donton Abbey" starts Jan. 6th. (Name is Donton Abby, not Downtown Abbey). I watched all the last series and enjoyed watching that era of time. Clothes and hairdos and such sophisticated way of life. Very good acting in it. Got started watching "Shark Tank." It is in my time zone to watch in the evening. Also enjoy "Jeopardy" and “Wheel of Fortune."

David put up the Christmas gift he gave us. A ship's mast he made into a flagpole. It had barnacles and rusty hardware when he got it. He cleaned & painted it white and shined up the copper to look like new. He had been working on it since Thanksgiving and I had to stay out of the shop and not peek in the window to see it. I was so curious. What size I asked? Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Something I could hold in my hand? A piece of furniture?

Was it useful or what? You will see on Christmas, he said. I was really surprised. Now an American flag flies high from our deck where neighbors all around us can see it.

Got in free at the Coliseum Theater in Tillamook for the Saturday matinee to see the Hobbit. I had seen the "Lord of the Rings" with my kids, and enjoyed it. The Hobbit was full of ghoulish Orcs and weird scenery and fighting. There are two more of the Hobbit movies. I really liked the first part of Hobbit best. My kids had read the books and told me about some of the adventures.

Must see the next two movies, too. The kids think I should. It seems to me the movie is pretty wild for kids to see. I want to see the "Lincoln" movie, but it hasn’t been here yet.

Nea-Rock Garden Club meets at Merle Wine's place in Bay City on Wednesday, January 16. Meet at PUD parking lot at 11:15 a.m. to carpool by 11:30 a.m. There is not much parking space at Merle and Dennis’ place. This is a potluck and a gift exchange. Did you get something for Christmas you can't use or would like to recycle? Wrap it and bring to the "After Christmas" party or buy a gift between $5 and $10 to exchange.

riting the Fencepost from out of town last week, I left behind notes about Beaver’s own Red Hat Society; my apologies for the oversight.

Thanks to Virginia Trowell for word that the Beaver Red Hot Flappers meet at 8:00 on the second Tuesday of each month at Denny’s Restaurant in Tillamook. The group provided six bags of holiday gifts to selected Beaver residents during the recent holiday season. Their Queen is Frances Emery, who may be contacted for additional information by calling 503-3984679.

Back in town, I was happy to discover notice of a Food Co-op that’s started up in our neck of the woods. This is something that I considered taking on myself, picturing a bustling business at the vacant Cloverdale Market, Beaver Mercantile, or Beaver Grocery and Deli before each, in turn, was put to its present use. My version would have included a soup kitchen where free soup was available during open hours.

The Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op is accessed online at bountifulbaskets.org. Participants pay $15 for a produce order, $25 to upgrade the order to organic produce, a $50 value according to their literature.

Purchasers choose a delivery site and pay for the week’s produce and $1.50 handling fee in advance online. The window for purchasing the week’s offering is from noon on Mondays until Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m.

Pick-up is available at 2:15 p.m. sharp on Saturdays at Kiawanda Community Center. Volunteers

“I will be in Portland for the time being, and will return with the Netarts/Oceanside Fencepostcolumn on Feb. 6, 2013. Please - if anyone wants to fill in during my continued absence contact editor, Mary Faith Bell at 503.842.7535.”

are needed before and after the distributions for set-up and clean-up. To learn more, e-mail nestuccavalleyproducecoop@gmail.com.

I appreciate last minute news from Tawnya Crowe that the subject of this month’s cooking class is Stir Fry. She tells me that participants will learn about other cultures’ Stir Fry cuisine and sample a variety of tasty dishes for dinner at the end of the hands-on lesson.

Tuition is $2 to cover the cost of ingredients. The demonstration begins at 6:30 p.m. at Hebo Christian Center across form the Post Office in downtown Hebo.

Nestucca students selected as District III Honor Band participants will travel late this week to practice and perform with other elites from around the State. Honorees include: Marissa Dempsey-piccolo, Lauren Morris and Andrea Polivkaflute, Nicole Bishop-clarinet, Jasmine Boisa-oboe, Parker Jensen- alto sax, Sterlin McCall-baritone sax, Michael Boisa-French horn, Michael Bailey-euphonium, Chelsea Wallace-trumpet, Maggie Mickcornet, and Lacy Boisa-bass clarinet.

As the semester winds down it’s good to acknowledge academic all stars from Nestucca as well. The Dairy Farmers of Oregon tracks the grade point average (G.P.A.) of athletic teams in each OSAA sanctioned activity. Nestucca’s Football team had the highest average G.P.A. in Oregon for all 2A schools with a 3.36. The Volleyball players ranked forth with an even higher G.P.A. of 3.69.

Hats-off to Bobcat athletes who achieve academic success.

And don’t forget the baked potato luncheon served from 11:30-1:00 this Wednesday, January 9 at the Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall on Brooten Road in Pacific City. $5 buys a potato heaped with your choice of yummy toppings, a drink, and dessert. This month’s proceeds will benefit Pacific City Arts Association.

Mark your calendar now for upcoming cultural events in

south Tillamook County: Neskowin Chamber Music continues their season with a 3:00 p.m. concert on Sunday, January 27 performed by Trio Solisti, who are noted to be passionate musicians. $25 tickets are often available at the door fifteen minutes prior to showtime. To purchase tickets in advance call 503-965-6499 or visit neskowinchambermusic.org.

The performance happens at Camp Winema’s Chapel located three miles north of Neskowin, just west of U.S. Highway 101.

Chocolate, wine and art will be celebrated at Your Heart’s Desire, a fundraiser for the Community Arts Project of Hebo the evening of Saturday, February 9.The event will offer artwork for sale, a raffle, silent auction, appetizers, and chocolate desserts accompanied by sparkling cider, beer and wine.

It happens at Kiwanda Community Center in Pacific City and includes free admission during pre and post-event hours to be announced. The community Arts Project supports Art education in Cloverdale and Garibaldi Grade Schools and holds a week long art day camp for youth each June. Selected art by students will be displayed for sale.

Take heart if your New Year’s resolution is hard to keep. According to the University of Scranton, 25% of New Year’s resolutions are broken after a week, 36% after a month, and 54% are broken by the end of June. But even those odds are better than not trying because folks who make resolutions are still ten times more likely to reach their goal than those who don’t set the goal to start with.

Happy Birthday this week to: Rachel Adkins, Rick Anderson, Sue Beachy, Roy Cabal, Dale Caspell, B.J. Chatelain, B.J. Clark, Whalen Dillon, Rodney Dunn, John Eckhardt, Paige and Steven Hale, Jesse Heathershaw, Kyla Hurliman, Kyler Jones, Jason Meyer, Gus Peterson, Hannah Scott, and Terrance Watters, Brad Whitaker.

e have a new member in our community! Let me introduce you to Michael Jeffrey William Heath. He was born at 7:21 am, December 26th at Tillamook General Hospital.

He weighed 6.13 oz and was 19" long. Proud parents are Rodney Heath and Julie Bassani. Congrats!

Well, they're working hard on the "new" Ocean's Edge Wayside now. It's fun to watch the progress. Check out the photos on The City of Rockaway Beach's website.

The RBPD sells high quality glow sticks ($1 each) at City Hall for those unexpected power outages. Stop by and get them before that crazy weather hits us. And while you're there, be sure to purchase a personalized legacy brick for our new Ocean's Edge Wayside. They are still available and will forever be a part of our Rockaway Beach history.

Our Rockaway Beach Parks and Recreation is now having Bingo on Sundays beginning January 13th at 1pm. It runs for 8 weeks and is lots of fun.

Come enjoy and support them.

Parks and Rec would like to give Fredia Tosch huge thanks for her donation to the summer program. Fredia (aka Santa) totally replaced all the items that had been stolen from the shed in the city park. Santa told Laurie DeKlyen that she had been a good girl this year and to enjoy the goodies. Fredia, you are so awesome!

hope everyone found themselves safe at home if they went out to celebrate New Years Eve. Gordon MaCraw shares this important safety information with us whenever we indulge ourselves: *If you are planning to drink, plan ahead: designate a sober driver or arrange for a taxi to pick you up at a set time.

• If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don't let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel.

• Volunteer to be a designated driver.

• Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out, and always look both ways before crossing, even at an intersection.

• Buckle up, every trip, every time.

• Drive defensively at all times.

• Be rested, alert, slow down and "know before you go" by staying up to date on road and weather conditions by visiting www.TripCheck.com or calling 5-1-1. Be on the alert for icy conditions on many roads.

• And remember, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take that person's keys and help him or her make other arrangements to get home safely.

I always make those that are drinking at my house stay over, I don’t feel comfortable being responsible for someones safety.

Sometimes it is the couch, the spare bedroom or a sleeping bag, but at least they go home sober the next morning.

Birthday Greetings and Blessings go out to Gordon Spink and Geri Perrine.

FREE Guitar lessons start up this Thursday and continue every Thursday at 7pm in the basement of the Bay City United Methodist Church. Lessons are taught by Dr. Ben Douglas and he teaches in a very easy style that is not hard to follow and

NOTES FROM THE COAST Linda and Pat Olson from Trash and Treasures also want to thank the community for supporting Parks and Rec with your purchases of the pirate goods at their store. They brought in just short of $300.

Let's push it up over that amount next year. All the proceeds go to the Parks and Rec program.

Just talked to Louann Swanson (the writer of this column for years) and she told me Steve and Karen Orr are her neighbors across the golf course from her in her new neighborhood. Steve and Louann served on our city council together for a while.

What a small world this is.

Meals for Seniors is having their Roast Beef Dinner fundraiser at St. Mary's by the Sea Saturday, January 12th, 125pm. Yummy! Pre-sale tickets ($7) are available in the parish office. Tickets are $8 at the door.

My good friend, veteran Rich Riley, and I were chatting about our American flag, which many hang proudly in our town.

Just a gentle reminder, flag etiquette says "The Flag can be flown every day from sunrise to sunset and at night if illuminated properly." Other thoughts are that the flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously. It should never be allowed to touch the ground or floor. And never ever should the flag be flown upside down except as a signal of distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. For any more information relative to Flag Etiquette you can visit the website at www.vfw.org.

I know, it’s a few weeks past, but try this for a resolution.

Commit 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.

learn. I am having such a great time learning to play so come on out and join us. If you want to learn to play but are not sure about purchasing a guitar yet I would be more than happy to share mine during the class.

At the church also: AA meetings continue on Tuesdays at 8 pm.

Another event that takes place there is Sisterchicks the second and fourth Wednesay of each month. If you think you would enjoy making new friends and having fun while you do it, join us at 6 pm for a potluck, then very fun impromptu meetings and activities.

I was at the Bay City Boosters meeting and had a great time with wonderful food and laughter.

There was no formal meeting, just a nice dinner of ham and scalloped potatoes, supplemented by the great side dishes brought in by the members. We had a Chinese gift exchange, with lots of nice gifts. No one swiped Sharline’s gift this time, but I managed to swipe something she really wanted. Each member draws a number, and selects a gift as his or her number is called. A participant may take a wrapped gift from under the tree, or select an unwrapped gift previously selected by someone else. A gift can be swiped up to three times before it becomes the permanent property of the person holding it. The exchange ends when the last wrapped gift is selected from under the tree. I got some new dishtowels and dishcloths that I had to steal from someone as I really needed them. Luckily the person I took them from was very gracious about letting them go.

I have a dear friend, Tom Bulger of Tillamook that is the brother in law to Gordon McCraw and Tom asked me the other day why he sees Gordon’s name in my column all the time but I never mention him. I told him as soon as him and his wife Carol move to Bay City I will mention him. He actually growled at me, so Tom, here is your name in print. I hope you enjoyed it!

No news from the Bay City Art Center this month. They always send their information by email and they haven’t sent anything out yet. Maybe they are taking a much needed rest after Christmas and New Years. As soon as I hear anything I will let you know of important dates to keep in mind.

Have a great week and see you around town.

Enter Dr. Jonathan Rosen of Boston University's School of Management, who's ingeniously devised an incubator out of the abundant Toyota 4Runners found in developing nations.

Apparently, if you want your nation to develop, you first have to get a bunch of Toyota 4Runners. Rosen cobbled together an incubator using headlights as the heating source, the filters for air purification and the door alarm for emergency notification. The resulting incubator costs about $1,000 to make and can be repaired by auto mechanics. (I would like to see Dr. Rosen’s job description, the part where it

says teaches students to become managers and oh, by the way, invent incubators.)

I’m writing an email right now to Dr. Rosen (I know, wrong kind of doctor) to ask him to find another way to attach a heart monitor to a baby.

If he can cannibalize a 4Runner to make an incubator, he could do this job in his sleep.

Little Will has had a couple bumpy days, heart rate too high and not exactly stable, but he’s okay. My heart rate might be too high, too, if somebody attached a monitor to the top of my head using an upholstery pin.
