ill Baertlein, 61, is an accountant. Born and raised in Tillamook County — the family’s been here for three generations, he said — he took accounting and finance at Oregon State University, and worked for another firm in Tillamook before opening his own office in 1980. His wife Marilyn is also his business partner (she’s the “Phegley” in Baertein & Phegley, CPAs). They have two children, Alex, a freshman at OSU, and Mitch, a senior at Tillamook High School.

isa Phipps, 43, is the executive director of the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, headquartered in Garibaldi; she was formerly the Coastal Resource Planner for Tillamook County.

Phipps was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, got a Bachelor’s degree in fisheries management from the University of Michigan and a Master’s in environmental law from the University of Vermont. Moving to Tillamook County was a deliberate choice, she said. “I’d been coming here on vacation.” She’s married to Roby Lane, maintenance supervisor for Garibaldi’s Northwest Hardwoods mill. They recently bought a home in Idaville.

Manure tours? Only in Tillamook

BY JOE WRABEK

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

They’re calling it “cow power.”

Tillamook County dairy cattle’s biggest product—milk— has a nationwide reputation, after it’s been transformed into cheese and ice cream. The cows’ second-largest product by volume — manure — has been more of a problem. It stinks, there’s a lot of it, and there hasn’t been much one can do with it.

Until now.

Quietly, and relatively odorlessly, out on McCormick Loop, they’re making power from the poop.

Brothers Daryl and Kevin Maas from Mt. Vernon, Washington, run a company called Farm Power NW, which extracts methane gas from cow manure and burns it to generate electricity. Farm Power has been in business since 2007. They have four “facilities” operating—three in Washington state, and one in Tillamook County. A fifth facility, also in Tillamook County, is under construction.

The Maas brothers held an open house at their McCormick Loop “facility” on Friday, Sept. 28, with catered snacks and tours of the operation.

Cold cases come to light

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

Do you remember Bobby Jack Fowler? He worked construction on the Oregon coast in the 1990s.

He did roofing. He frequented bars. He may have been a serial killer.

If you knew or ever even met Bobby Jack Fowler, the Lincoln County DA’s office would like to talk to you. You Investigators may be able to would like to help them fill in talk to anyone the timeline that who knew they are conBobby Jack structing of Fowler. He is Fowler’s where- suspected of abouts, in rela- murdering tion to unsolved women and girls murders. in Oregon in the At a press 1990s. conference earlier this week, the Lincoln County DA Rob Bovett named Bobby Jack Fowler, who died in an Oregon prison in 2006, as the lead suspect in the 1995 murders of Jennifer Esson, 15, and Kara Leas, 16. Esson and Leas were last seen alive in Newport on January 28, 1995. Their bodies were found two weeks later in an area of dense brush north of town.

Circumstantial evidence links Fowler to Esson and Leas’ deaths.

Fowler was in the area both before and after the girls went missing. He is also considered a person of interest in the 1992 murders of Sheila Swanson, 19, and Melissa Sanders, 17, both of Sweet Home. They disappeared May 3, 1992, after leaving a Beverly Beach campground in Lincoln County. Their bodies were discovered five months later, in thick brush off of a logging road near Eddyville.

There was one victim who escaped from Fowler and testified against him, which led to his imprisonment from 1996 to 2006, when he died of lung cancer in prison. In June of 1995, five months after the murders of Esson and Leas, Bobby Jack Fowler lured a woman to his motel room at the Tides Inn, in Newport.

There he punched her and slapped her and told her he was going to rape her and ‘put her in the ocean,’ according to court documents. He told her that he believed that women wanted to be raped.

Naked and bleeding, with a rope tied to her leg, the victim jumped from a second story window and escaped.

ELECTIONS: MEET THE HOUSE DISTRICT 32 CANDIDATES

VIDEO INTERVIEWS AT TILLAMOOKHEADLIGHTHERALD.COM

Boone, Welsh and Roll discuss their backgrounds DEBORAH BOONE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Incumbent Oregon House District 32 Deborah Boone is running for reelection for a seat she’s held since 2004. Boone, of Cannon Beach, represents the Democratic Party and has been working in the state capital since 1989.

KEY QUOTES: “I’ve seen quite a few changes. I’ve worked under several governors; Governor Kitzhaber; Governor Goldschmidt; Governor Roberts; Governor Kulongoski; and Governor Kitzhaber again now.

I’ve seen a lot of changes. I’ve seen the House and Senate go back under different leadership, etc. My personal philosophy when I moved down there was to always work with everybody across the aisle.”

There’s 100 to 200 jobs that are dependent upon that activity in the main river, the Columbia, and 1000 to 1500 jobs that are beneficiaries from that industry.

I think in this district it will fail.

I have big concern about the rest of the state. Whether they are going to understand or care that if it passes the people that make their livings or part of their livings doing this activity are not going to have an income.”

“Every electoral season incumbents come back and they try to tell us that this time they’re really going to do something down at the state capital or Washington D.C., or the County Commission. My question would be ‘how many

chances should an incumbent get before people sit down and ask why we send back the same person and expect anything but the same answers we get every time they are elected?’”

PERRY ROLL LIBERTARIAN PARTY Perry Roll, of Astoria, is campaigning for Oregon House District 32, as a libertarian. Roll has worked as a cab driver and a gas attendant and says he’d like to bring a third voice to Oregon politics.

KEY QUOTES: “As a cab driver and a gas attendant I’ve had a chance to talk to an awful lot of people.

Over the last decade and a half, I’ve heard a lot of grassroots views that aren’t being expressed in the press. I felt eventually that somebody was going to have to take this message to Salem and let everybody hear it, and it looks like its gonna be me.”

“Both sides [of environmental conflicts] are right. We’re going to starve to death if we don’t use our natural resources, and there’s a point that if we use our natural resources we won’t have them for tomorrow. There has to be a balance. Instead,

what we get are divisive opinions between the two parties.

You can either go one way or the other, there is no middle of the road. We need a little more balance in order to utilize our resources and keep them…”

of things that go with that. Libertarians believe in that. It’s an idealistic idea…”

“There are a lot of nitpicky regulations, what somethings’s going to look like, what color you can paint it, how high the fence is going to have to be. We might be able to flex these a little bit to allow someone who is pretty close to get going. “

“A little deregulation at the cottage industry level would do a lot for the economy. That’s where the jobs are created.”

“Freedom is one of the things this country was founded on, and it’s a word we chant a lot. Freedom. Liberty. So much so that the meaning of it has been lost. The definition I believe is freedom for the individual. That requires a lot of tolerance, it requires a lot of acceptance, understanding and patience. There’s a whole bunch

“I’d say if you’re voting on 81, this time vote no. I don’t think the science is good or clean, or well enough understood to give a good balance between the economy and what they are talking about.”

— Video interviews by Anthony Rimel

“My [committee] focus now is Veterans Services, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Environment and Water… If we have it again, I’ll probably stick with the line up I have. Every year I try to get a committee on ocean policy, fisheries, etc. because I think we have a lot there.”

“I give myself a test before each of the major bills. I try to make them either maintain or create jobs in our state and improve our economy. We’ve had a rough time since 2008.”

“The ballot measure that I am very sorry to see come forward is number 81, which would basically put the gillnet fishery on the Columbia River out of business. I do understand now that the promoters, after spending $500,000 of mostly out-of-state money, to get it on the ballot, now they have backed off and said they’re not going to promote it… I believe the damage has been done.

Now it puts the onus on the commercial fishing community mostly in Clatsop and Columbia County, to come up with the money to fight this… it basically will cost many jobs. Not just fishing jobs, but the jobs that depend on fishing jobs.”

BY MARY FAITH BELL The Hope Chest Thrift Shops in Nehalem and Rockaway Beach are celebrating a huge milestone: they recently surpassed $1 million dollars in donations to Tillamook County charitable organizations.

The Hope Chest Thrift Shops, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization was the brainchild of a likeminded group of individuals who wanted to do something for the community.

What they had in common, said board president Terry Walhood, “is a lot of stuff.

Everyone had stuff from downsizing, moving from larger homes into smaller homes.”

Who would have guessed that a collection of household stuff would add up to a whopping $1 million dollars in donations just 12 years later?

The Hope Chest is run solely with “volunteer labor, all donations, and a lot of hard work,” said Walhood.

They made their first charitable donation in 1999, and opened the Hope Chest Too in Rockaway Beach in 2004.

Currently the organization averages $10,000 to $12,000 a month in donations to local non-profits such as Hospice of Tillamook County, Faith in Action, the North County Food Bank, Secret Angels, Meals for Seniors (in Rock-

“We do donate to others occasionally if it is a special request,” said Walhood, “but it has to be a registered 501(c)(3) charity.”

FROM THE (OLD) EDITOR SPEEDBUMP

by Dave Coverly

A new editor, a new online strategy T

here are some changes taking place here at the Headlight Herald.

First, and most importantly, we’ve named Mary Faith Bell the newspaper’s editor. Mary Faith joined the Headlight in July 2011. She left us for a few months to serve as interim editor at our sister publication, the Cannon Beach Gazette.

She’s again back in Tillamook County (having never left, she has a home in south county) and we’re happy to have her.

Mary Faith studied creative writing at Linfield College, and human services at Chemeketa Community College. She has worked as a newspaper reporter, a social worker and a professional baker.

When I hired her, many things made Mary Faith’s application stand out, but in addition to her references and experience, she was the only applicant who, after we spoke about the job, sent a thank you note.

That told me a lot about her character.

I will continue to have a limited role with the Headlight Herald as Country Media’s Director of News. My home is still in Tillamook, but nowadays I spend a lot of time traveling among our six sister publications in Oregon, overseeing other editorial departments.

I know I leave this newspaper in capable and conscientious hands. Folks who know me know I’m not at all sentimental. But all that stuff about the Fourth Estate, the power of the press and watchdog journalism? I believe that in my heart of hearts. Journalism is a noble profession; community journalism so much more so. It’s a great responsibility, and one I don’t pass to someone lightly.

Who else will chronicle the stories of our community if not the newspaper that has stood here longer than any other business in Tillamook County?

And that brings me to another change at the Headlight Herald – we now have some of our online stories behind a paywall.

To be clear, much of the content online will remain free – obituaries, letters to the editor, breaking news, arts and entertainment, sports scores. In fact, everything that has been free online will continue to be.

But there have long been many items in the print edition that never made it online – indepth reporting, feature stories, Fenceposts, guest columns, criminal conviction lists and more. I’ve always believed it’s silly to give away our original content for free online. What we’ve failed to do a good job of, however, is letting our online readership know what they’re missing by not subscribing.

We realize that many of our readers live out of town, or read news on the go. Now we’re of-

Samantha Swindler Director of News

fering our news in a variety of formats – in print, in our e-edition, or on our website. All those features that were held for print-only will be accessible, for a subscription fee, on-

line.

If you already have a print subscription, use your subscriber number to access online stories at no additional cost.

The number is printed on your front page, above your name and address. (Do not type in the zeros when you enter your subscriber number.)

Another advantage is that subscribers don’t have to wait until Wednesday for the news.

We’re putting stories up behind the paywall throughout the week. Subscribers, for example, were able to read last week’s big story on the sheriff race a day before the paper hit the streets.

My goal in this is to expand our services, not take them away. You might have heard a thing or two about the struggles of the newspaper industry.

Those woes have fallen disproportionally greater upon the metro dailies rather than community weeklies, but we too have felt the effects of the recession, along with our advertisers. It would be irresponsible if we didn’t realize that the news landscape is changing and, as is the case with many changes, sooner or later it will find its way to Tillamook County.

The New York Times Company now generates more than half its revenues from subscription services – a model that’s vastly different from the days when newspapers relied almost exclusively on display advertising. Those were the days, too, when newspapers were one of only a handful of advertising vehicles for businesses.

Today, of course, there’s the internet.

Last week, after we posted interviews with the sheriff candidates behind a paywall, one candidate complained to me in email that “this is a policy that is hurting our community and hurts democracy.”

I have to disagree, because I’m taking the long view. It’s awfully hard to serve the First Amendment if you can’t pay reporters. I believe that a free press is fundamental to a free democracy. And we must protect this newspaper, keep it profitable, and make sure it stands for another 100 years to serve Tillamook County.

Samantha Swindler is on the road a lot. She can best be reached at sswindler@countrymedia.net

ABOUT US

• Althea Morrow morrow@orcoastnews.com

Freedom or serfdom I urge all to make sure you are registered to vote and then vote. This election is one of the most important elections in a lifetime. It will determine our nation’s future.

It is a choice between two fundamentally different visions for our nation’s future: one where we adhere to the Constitution, the checks and balances, and maintain the rights of the citizens as ordained by our Creator not by our government, or one where we allow a statist government breach the rule of law to occur without checks or balances, where freedom slips away at the cost of security and whatever the government decides we are entitled to have.

The choices are freedom or serfdom. Which do you prefer?

Do not believe the election polls. The liberal media is controlling these polls.

A word to the Beaver pranksters This letter is dedicated to the kids/teens who took the time to throw several dozen eggs at our home in Beaver at 1:11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23.

Instead of my usual routine on this day of worship, I spent several hours cleaning up the mess you made by scrubbing dried eggs off my windows, doors, screens, siding and deck. During this process, I prayed for you as I am a believer that everyone gets what they deserve in the end.

What you considered a fun prank is actually a crime known as vandalism which was reported to the sheriff and photos were taken.

As for the second story of our home and roof, this is out of our reach, therefore we will have the expense of hiring a

contractor to scrub this mess off.

For your information, dried raw eggs also peels paint when removed off the surface which increases our expense due to repainting. If this act was deliberate towards my family, then you are a coward.

Someday you will need to be accountable for your actions.

Although you probably are not the one reading this letter addressed to you, but your parents are. So parents, where were your kids/teens at 1:11 a.m. this past Sunday?

Remember that I will continue to pray for you, therefore it is not a matter of if you get caught committing more crimes, but a matter of when.

And one day you will grow up and have a home of your own (unless you are spending your time in prison), perhaps you will be victimized by some pranksters and you will be faced with the damages the same as we have suffered.

Rebuttal to Marshall McMurrin’s claims I would like to rebut the Sept. 19 article about Marshall McMurrin, “Relapse, ruin, and restitution,” written without questioning and/or research by the Headlight Herald.

Marshall states “2003-2005 were the largest revenue years of the business.” Of course they were, Wolf Pinkstaff came to Marshall’s rescue in 2001 as McMurrin was underwater in the business. So his claim of a $1 million business shows he had gone through $900,000 in gambling debts and drug usage.

Marshall didn’t have a drinking problem, he had a gambling problem, along with other habits that he testified to at the arbitration, including doing methamphetamines.

Dawn was his enabler as she knew what he was doing.

Arbitration brought a win to Wolf and Genesis Computers for the harm, theft and split of the partnership agreement.

When Tillamook Computers was formed, McMurrin changed the business illegally into his wife Dawn’s name and said Wolf would never see a penny of what he owed him.

The McMurrins have always lived upstairs above their business and rented out their home – never understood that one.

Marshall filed bankruptcy and of course Wolf couldn’t collect, so Marshall won that one.

I am glad Marshall has found God, again and again.

They say all cons find God in order to get a lighter sentence.

He is a fast and smooth talker, so don’t let his schmoozing fog your brain. Yes, his father paid his restitution – good for him, one less thing Marshall has to pay for, again. But where is Wolf’s money? Where is his apology for all the things you caused to him? Wolf certainly

did not receive any kind of an apology letter from you from jail. Don’t you think that you owe at least that? He did nothing wrong to you but help you create a better business, and you took advantage of him and all the people of Tillamook and the surrounding area.

All we wanted was to make a living and be part of Tillamook, as we thought it was a nice little town with warm-hearted people. You made it impossible!

Looking for answers about Medicare I am sending this open letter to all my elected officials in Washington, D.C. I am aware that some of you may not been in office when Medicare Part D was passed.

Having said that, I have to ask what the heck was Congress thinking of when they passed this bill without any price and premium controls? Is this what we will have to look forward to with Obamacare?

Let me present the impact that failure to do so effected me.

Year Premium percent increase: 2010: $26.20 2011: $37.30 +42% 2012: $52.10 +40% 2013: $72.90 +40% Please advise if anyone of you will present a bill to place a cap on future premium increases. Maybe you should tie future Social Security increases to what insurance companies increase premiums? What say you? Looking forward to a prompt reply.

Are You Prepared for 2013 Tax Law Changes?

If you have been putting off creating an estate plan or haven't updated it in years, upcoming changes in tax laws might spur you into action.

The current estate tax laws will expire at the end of 2012. Unless Congress intervenes before that time, you will see significant changes. Here is a preview of what you can expect: Income and capital gains taxes will both increase and the estate, gift and generation-skipping tax—the shift of property by gift or at death to a person who is two or more generations below that of the person granting the gift—exemptions will change dramatically in 2013. The basic exclusion amount—the amount you can own before your estate is subject to estate taxes—lowers from $5.12 million in 2012 to $1 million in 2013.

The top estate tax rate also increases from 35 percent to 55 percent. That

means, for every dollar you own more than the $1 million exemption, up to 55 percent will be subject to federal estate taxes upon your death.

And it is expected to affect many more estates. The Internal Revenue Service, for example, estimates that 114,600 estates of people dying in 2013 will have to pay taxes on their estates. By comparison, in 2011, an estimated 8,600 estates of people who died paid estate taxes.

Thus, if you haven't drawn up an estate plan yet, there may be no better time to do so. Here are some other federal tax laws affecting estate planning in 2013.

Capital gains and income taxes raised: Capital gains taxes will increase from 15 to 20 percent and the top income tax rate has been raised from 35 percent in 2012 to 39.6 percent in 2013.

Gift tax exemption lowers: The gift tax exemption lowers from a $5.12 million exclusion amount unified with the estate tax exemption to $1 million in 2013. The top gift tax rate will rise from

35 percent to 55 percent. The annual gift tax exclusion — the amount you can give to anyone gift tax–free each year — is projected to be at $13,000 ($26,000 for married couples), adjusted for inflation.

Portability ends: For 2011 and 2012, if one spouse died without using up his or her federal estate tax exemption, the unused portion could be transferred to the surviving spouse. This is called a portability provision. In 2013, however, portability between spouses ends.

All that said, if a new tax bill is approved before Dec. 31, you will need to be ready for the last-minute changes.

And you may want to talk to your tax advisor.

Finally, a reminder that the Annual Mildred Davy Memorial Luncheon will take place on Oct. 18 at the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene on Third Street at noon. It’s a recognition of our donors and scholarship recipients. You can RSVP by calling 503-842-8222 Ext. 1060.

ROOT TROOP RECRUITING

The Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) was recognized last week among a select group of Oregon companies for the dairy co-op’s commitment to community giving, at the Portland Business Journal’s annual Corporate Philanthropy Awards.

TCCA received one of three “Innovation in Philanthropy” awards, which recognizes unique partnerships between companies and non-profit organizations – in TCCA’s case, for its ice cream booth partnership with the Tillamook County 4H Leaders Association at the Tillamook County Fair.

As part of the partnership, which was first formed in 2010, TCCA employees and co-op members work together with 4-H youth and parent volunteers to scoop and serve Tillamook ice cream for fairgoers.

At the end of a busy four days and with involvement by more than 150 volunteers annually, TCCA donates all proceeds from the ice cream sales to the 4-H Leaders Association.

The donation helps provide student scholarships and fund 4-H club activities in Tillamook County. Over the past three years, TCCA has donated more than $34,000 to the local 4-H program as part of this partnership.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with TCCA in this event and to be able to serve the community that has so graciously supported 4-H in Tillamook County,” said Teri Fladstol, member of the Ice Cream Booth Committee for the 4-H Leaders Association.

Two arrested at storage unit in Garibaldi GARIBALDI – Melissa Sue Merrill and Jeremy James Pruitt were both arrested in Garibaldi following a traffic stop by the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

According to investigators, a detective covering a patrol shift was attempting to contact two people within a secure storage unit facility in Garibaldi following a traffic violation, when the male passenger fled the area. Another detective was located nearby and responded to the storage facility to assist.

Detectives quickly determined that the man who fled was Jeremy James Pruitt, a convicted felon wanted on a felony warrant. Additional sheriff’s deputies were

According to Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Detective Sgt. Troy Jackson, people who help wanted people face the real possibility of getting in serious trouble themselves.

A new year of college survival S eptember brings cooler days (did it ever warm up?), fog (in fog-bound South County, anyway), and the beginning of a new school year.

Tillamook Bay Community College opened for business on Sept. 24 with freshly painted hallways, newly energized staff, and a brand-new building in Cloverdale.

Exciting as another school year can be, many new students are nervous about college classes. There are lots of people, especially those who’ve been out of school for a few years, who hesitate to enroll for fear of algebra. Or tests. Or computers. Or those hours and hours of studying.

But college is easier than ever now. TBCC offers a number of programs to ease those worries and help students navigate through the intricacies of college life.

The first is a class called College Survival and Success. In the interests of ensuring that new students don’t waste their time and money by crashing and burning in their first couple of terms, TBCC now requires anyone new to the college and taking at least six credits to enroll in this 3-credit course.

It talks about time and money management, motivation, goal-setting, communicating with teachers and other students, how to use online resources, and the secret handshake of academia (not really). There are four sections (one in the evening, taught by President Connie Green), and you can audit the course, if you’re not sure you want to take the plunge.

A second course available, which would have been helpful to several of my family members, is Managing Test Anxiety, taught by Suzanne Bannan.

Suzanne can make fear of tests dissolve – the up side of "teaching to the test."

Through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, TBCC is now also offering the services of a career coach, someone who can demystify the educational requirements for particular careers. Interested in Criminal Justice?

Your career coach can help you outline the courses you need, identify possible internships or work experiences, put you in touch with potential employers, chart your way into a baccalaureate degree.

Want to be a musician?

Better get a teaching degree, too. Your career coach can help you be realistic about your Deborah Lincoln choices.

TBCC Board Member And once you launch into your coursework, what happens if you get stuck in Physics 201 and just can’t grasp circular motion or rotational dynamics?

Though Professor Carlin is certainly approachable, you may be more comfortable working with a peer tutor – another student who can help you understand course content and explain the mysteries of motion energy to you one-on-one.

Luke Kralik, in the Library, oversees the Peer Tutor program.

The student’s success is TBCC’s number one concern, and instructors and staff are geared up to ensure it happens. Take advantage of all the help that’s available – there’s nothing more energizing than the start of a new school year.

Next topic: I’ve been asked several times what courses will be available this term at the new TBCC South County Center.

If you haven’t visited this building, stop by when you get a chance. It’s located in Cloverdale, on the hilltop behind the high school (look for the doe and her two still-spotted fawns).

This term, we’re offering Writing 121, a credit course, as well as community education courses in Beginning Spanish, Introduction to Home Computers and Word Processing (all offered in the evening) and an AARP driving class (a one-day, six-hour session).

Nestucca High School will also be using the building, which has a large computer classroom, for high school classes.

The building is available to the community for meetings and other community needs.

I would be interested in hearing what the folks in South County would like to see offered down here in the future.

You can contact me at danlk@oregoncoast.com, or reach any of the Board or staff members through President Green at green@tillamookbay.cc or 503-842-8222 ext. 1015.

Alden Becraft Alden Robert “Bob” Becraft was born at home on Feb. 12, 1923, in College Place, Wash.

Parents Virgil and Verda (Burg) Becraft welcomed him into their hearts during the middle of a snowstorm.

Bob passed away at home on Sept.

ALDEN 25, 2012 in BECRAFT Tillamook at age 89. Family had gathered by his bedside earlier in the evening, singing favorite songs, sharing memories, reading Scripture, and thanking him for leaving a legacy of integrity and deep love.

Bob grew up a “Preacher’s Kid,” and early on committed his life to Jesus, his Lord and Savior. He graduated from Auburn Academy and attended Walla Walla College before serving in the Army as a non-

combatant during World War II. When he was honorably discharged on March 5, 1946, he transferred to La Sierra College, where he met the love of his life, Betty Charlotte Stout.

They vowed on June 15, 1947, to love, honor, and cherish each other till death should them part. They honored that covenant for the next 65-plus years, until Bob drew his last breath with Betty by his side.

Betty remains, though she will miss him as long as her life shall last.

Bob enjoyed photography, hiking, camping, gardening, swimming, but his greatest joy was time spent immersed in family. Though quiet by nature, he listened wisely, and when he spoke, others listened. He loved adventure and travel, good humor and fun. He was known for practical jokes. He saw the needs around him and loved well.

He leaves behind children: Jim Becraft and wife Susan (Crider) of Oceanside, Tom Becraft and wife Bonnie (Wilson), of Kennewick, Wash., daughter Sue (Becraft) Long and husband Lee of Tillamook, Tim Becraft and wife Noriko (Sugita) of Aloha, and Deanne (Becraft) Williams and husband Stan of Foster; grandchildren, Bobby Becraft and his lady, Jennifer Rickwalt of Seattle, Wash., Andrew Becraft and wife Beth of Seattle, Wash., Nathan Becraft and wife Leanne of San Diego, Calif., Joseph Long and wife Becca of Washougal, Leanna Long of Camas, Wash., Joshua Long and wife Sasha of College Place, Wash., Jamey Long of Scottsdale, Ariz., Jonathan Long and wife Meilani of Damascus, Jeremy Long of Hollywood, Calif., Lanessa Long of Tillamook, Robert Becraft of Aloha, Steven Becraft of Brooklyn, NY, Francis Becraft of Aloha, and Angela Williams of Foster; great-grandchildren, Magdelana and Johannes Long of Washougal, Wash. and Stella Long of College Place; sisters, Margaret Gadreault, Marilyn and her husband Bruce Babienco; brother, Ted Becraft and wife Nico; numerous nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly; and a multitude of people whose lives were better because he lived.

All are thankful for the

promise of being reunited in heaven where there will be no more tears.

Inurnment will be held at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland. Memorial contributions may be made to Wellspring, International Children’s Care, WWU Student Missions, or the charity of your choice.

Suspects caught following high speed pursuit Two suspected car thieves were arrested by Tillamook County Sheriff’s deputies on Sept. 18. Jackson Gitchell, 20, of Tillamook, and a 17-year-old male juvenile were found in a stolen mini-van near the Hollywood Camp area of the Tillamook Forest after leading police on a high speed pursuit stretching several miles.

According to Sheriff Andy Long, Gitchell was wanted for unlawful use of a motor vehicle, arson and criminal conspiracy stemming from investigations in which two vehicles were stolen from the Tillamook and Netarts area over the past two months. The 17-year-old juvenile found with Gitchell in the stolen mini-van is also suspected of being involved in the theft of the vehicle from Netarts.

“Deputies had gone to Jackson Gitchell’s grandmother’s house earlier in the day on Sept.

18 looking for Gitchell,” Long said. “Gitchell fled from the property as the deputies were arriving and subsequently, two people were arrested at that location for hindering prosecution for assisting Gitchell, who

was wanted for a felony.”

According to Long, after deputies left the area, Gitchell later stole his grandmother’s mini-van and was JACKSON spotted by a sher- GITCHELL iff’s forest deputy on Highway 101 south of Tillamook. When the deputy attempted to stop the mini-van, Gitchell fled, leading police on what would prove to be a several mile pursuit on public highways and forest roads.

“Gitchell drove in a very dangerous manner in an attempt

to elude the police,” Long said.

“The other two auto thefts in which Gitchell is a suspect also involved dangerous pursuits and then the intentional torching of one of those vehicles.

“With the assistance of Oregon State Police troopers and several deputies, we were able to establish a perimeter after Gitchell entered the Tillamook Forest. Gitchell then essentially drove right up to two awaiting detectives at Hollywood Camp and was taken into custody.”

According investigators, in addition to Gitchell and the 17year-old found in the mini-van, other suspects have been identified and investigators are finish-

ing their investigation into the multiple car thefts and arson.

Gitchell was arrested on several charges related to the Sept. 18 attempt to elude police. The 17-year-old found in the mini-van with Gitchell, and another 17-year-old male, were later arrested and placed in the custody of the Tillamook County Juvenile Department on several charges.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Tillamook County Hospice Program at 1011 3rd St. Tillamook, OR 97141.

Vault interment will be held at Tillamook IOOF Cemetery.

Lisa Phipps – who are seeking election to the county commissioner seat being vacated by Charles Hurliman – have announced their plans to attend.

And both candidates for sheriff – current Sheriff Andy Long and challenger Bill Spidal – have confirmed their plans to attend, too.

Others invited include: • Candidates for District 32 State Representative – incumbent Deborah Boone, Constitution Party candidate Jim Welsh and Libertarian candidate Perry Roll.

• Candidates for the newly redistricted House

District 10 (which represents Cape Meares, Oceanside, Netarts and all parts immediately south of the city limits of Tillamook): Jerome Grant (R) and David Gomberg (D).

(Incumbent Jean Cowan is not seeking re-election.)

• The newly redistricted State Senate District 5 (representing the same segment of Tillamook County has House District 10): Arnie Roblan (D) and Scott Roberts (R). (Incumbent Joanne Verger is not seeking re-election.)

So far, Welsh, Boone and Roblan have RSVP’d to the event.

NEWPORT – The Oregon Coast Visitors Association and the Central Oregon Coast Association are parting ways.

For the past 12 years, Rebecah Lutz had served as the executive director of OCVA and the president and CEO of COCA. Earlier this year she approached the boards of the two nonprofits with the suggestion that they be run independently.

“When I started 12 years ago, they were very small organizations and it was very easy to run them as companion organizations with the same staff,” Lutz said. “I thought it was time that the organizations operate on their own.”

OCVA board chairwoman Sue Meyers, of Lands End Motel in Cannon Beach, said, “She came to the board and was feeling overwhelmed because OCVA has grown so much.”

Lutz also stepped down as the head of both nonprofits. To take Lutz’s place, OCVA has hired Marcus Hinz of Kayak Tillamook and COCA has hired Gale Hart of Lincoln City.

Additionally, the staff will be let go, leaving Hinz and Hart to run the nonprofits. “It’s sad, with the split, we didn’t have the funds to keep all the staff,” Meyers said.

OCVA will not serve as the coast’s regional destination marketing organization for state’s Regional Cooperative Marketing Program (RCMP) over the next year, Meyers said.

“We want our director to focus MARC HINZ on membership,” Meyers said. She said his primary job this first year is to go up and down the coast, talking to existing members and building new membership. “We’re really excited about it.”

She said the OCVA board has been engaged in long-term strategic planning and is considering changing its focus to market the coast to in-state tourists. RCMP dollars are slated for out of state and international marketing.

Lutz said she plans to take a “much needed break.”

She compared the transition to watching her kids grow up and head in new directions.

COCA board chairwoman, Tiffany Shaw of the Liberty Inn in Lincoln City, could not be reached for comment.

VFWs and Auxiliaries say thanks On behalf of Nestucca Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 9611, Ladies Auxiliary No. 9611, and Men’s Auxiliary No. 4108, I would like to thank all the businesses and public for their support of the Buddy Poppy distribution program. We were asked why we were placing the donation collection cans

out so far from Memorial Day, Flag Day or Veterans Day. It’s because we should remember and help our veterans every day of the year.

Our service men and women served and are still serving every day of the year. They are returning to civilian life every day of the year, becoming veterans to be honored, respected and helped every day of the year. Every day of the year our veterans are dying, many by committing suicide. September is National Suicide Awareness Month. It is a national tragedy when more soldiers are dying from suicide than in combat.

By bringing the issue of suicide to the nation’s attention, hopefully we can de-stigmatize PTSD, depression and the other mental health issues that are associated with suicide. We are thankful that the Defense Department and the VA are being proactive and trying to recognize this issue and provide resources. The Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Auxiliaries have also designated September as Military Suicide Awareness Month. The wearing of a “blue teardrop” shows support of the program. Hopefully this blue teardrop will become as much a recognized symbol of our concerns for our veterans as the Buddy Poppy is. For those who would like to add the teardrop to their apparel, a paper patter is

available for download at the National Ladies Auxiliary website, ladiesauxvfw.org. You can also contact me by emailing vfwa9611@gmail.com or contact Jackie Keys at crystalcat@hughes.net or Jessie Stober at jessiestober@molalla.net about their beautiful teardrop pins.

Whether you support the veterans by your deeds, donations or wear the Buddy Poppy or Blue Teardrop, thank you very much for the support. It is certainly greatly appreciated.

A bad experience with Phipps I have no history with Bill Baertlein. I have a personal and painful story of trying to work with Ms. Phipps.

We purchased our Pacific City home in 1992 and moved there in 2005 full-time. We had plans drawn for new siding/roofing and a small bedroom addition.

I arrived at the Tillamook planning office and waited at the counter for my turn with Ms. Phipps. I unrolled the blueprints. She glanced at the top of the page and said “No, this won’t work...” I asked what I needed to do. She repeated her comment and walked away.

Returning to Pacific City, I spoke with the surveyor who said he neglected to give me a green sheet with the elevation certification. He said “take them back and it will be fine.” I did question why Ms. Phipps didn’t tell me this was the problem.

I went back to the planning office and day two was a repeat of day one. I left confused, and confusion turned to anger. I did a U-turn and went to the Commissioners office, where I had the good luck of meeting with the planning department supervisor and a commissioner. They actually reviewed the plans. Ten months and 41 days later, the permit was approved. This ridiculous delay was caused by endless appeals to the approval from Ms. Phipps.

When I arrived to get the actual permits, Ms. Phipps was called to the counter. She glanced at the papers, said she had a paper cut on her finger, walked away and never returned. There was a 15minute wait and then the supervisor came and signed off on the plans.

As Ms. Phipps’ employer (a taxpayer), her job was to assist me and find answers. She failed to do her job on any level. She wasted county time, my time

and taxpayer money.

To this day I have no idea what her objections were based on. During my long wait, other residents informed me I was neither special or singled out for this manner of “public service” from Ms. Phipps. For what it’s worth, I urge you to vote for Bill Baertlein.

Baertlein’s library stance took courage In spring of 2012, the library measure was put to the people.

I thought, here we go again! A million dollar facility some cities can only dream of having, and now we need money to keep operating it at current levels. Well, I for one felt they could curb that current level just as every other business and all the schools have to do in these really difficult times.

Then came a sound solid letter to the editor from a local CPA named Bill Baertlein. He really put himself on the line with this letter. It made perfect sense to me, but the catch was this man was running for county commission on the November ballot. And he was willing

to put his name to a letter suggesting we didn’t need so high a budget for the library to continue operating.

It took a lot of courage for a man in his position to express that opinion, but who better than a man who makes his living crunching numbers. I respect him even more for being willing to take such a risk.

Phipps has history of public service Lisa cares about Tillamook County because of all the places, she could have chosen, she chose to come here to live.

We need someone who supports a working infrastructure, has expertise working with a diverse economy, who recognizes the uniqueness of our natural resources, and advocates for our neighbors, family and friends.

Lisa Phipps has a history of public service in Tillamook County. We'd be fortunate to have her as our County Commissioner. Vote for Lisa Phipps.

CASES:

Continued from Page A1

The police arrested Fowler shortly thereafter. He was convicted of kidnapping, attempted rape and sexual abuse, and sentenced to serve a 16-year sentence in the Snake River Correctional Institute, where he died.

The Lincoln County announcement follows a discovery by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that Bobby Jack Fowler killed 16 year-old Colleen MacMillan in 1974. MacMillan was last seen on B.C. Hwy 97, where she was hitchhiking to visit a friend. Her body was found on a logging road 29 miles away. DNA linked Fowler to MacMillan’s death. Canadian police called it the oldest DNA match in Interpol's history.

Fowler is a strong suspect in two other Canadian cases and a person of interest in seven more, dating as far back as 1969.

The DNA in the Canadian murder case is damning; the evidence in the Lincoln County cases is circumstantial at this point, but investigators recently submitted DNA evidence for testing; they are reanalyzing cold cases with new investigative tools.

Authorities are hoping that people will come forward with information about Bobby Jack Fowler. He worked in the construction trades as a laborer and a roofer. He was mobile, working all over the country and in Canada, which means that he could have victims all over North America. But he worked in Oregon in the 1990s, and odds are there are people who remember him.

In an interview with the Oregonian, Lincoln County DA Rob Bovett said, “I want people to talk to me about Bobby Jack Fowler and what they know about him and their time with him in Lincoln County. It can place him in certain locations at certain times. That’s really critical. It may not mean anything to you, but it could be vitally important to us.”

Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office Investigator Ron Benson indicated this week that Fowler is considered a person of interest in at least three more cold cases in Oregon, which he did not name.

Considering the timeline of Fowler’s known crimes, from the murder of Colleen MacMillan in Canada in 1974, to attempted rape/kidnapping/sexual assault in Newport in 1995, the possibilities for the twenty-one year gap are chilling. Investigators all over the U.S. and Canada are working to connect Fowler to unsolved mur-

ders during those years.

The unsolved Tillamook County case that falls within that timeline is the murder of Tammy Albertson, 16, last seen alive at a phone booth at the Mohler grocery store on Hwy 53 on March 22, 1992.

Ron Benson is putting together a timeline of Fowler’s know whereabouts, which enables investigators to narrow the field of possible victims. For instance, there were periods when Fowler was incarcerated, and couldn’t have committed certain crimes.

But regarding Tammy Albertson, Benson said, “We don’t know where he was in March of 1992, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t here. It’s a possibility.” Benson is looking at Fowler for the May 1992 abductions of Swanson and Sanders, just two months after Tammy Albertson disappeared.

“We can’t exclude him without more information,” said Benson, referring to forensic information, such as the condition in which Tammy Albertson’s body was found. Criminals will often repeat whatever patterns of behavior have worked for them in the past, and those repeated behaviors will show up as clues in crime scenes.

“How she was found, if it fits,” said Benson, “that’s where it all comes together.”

Oregon State Police (OSP) Detective Michelle Brewer works on cold cases in Tillamook County, and Tammy Albertson’s file is on her desk. She and Sheriff Andy Long discussed it recently, and talked about asking retired Sheriff’s Office investigators who worked on the case when it happened 20 years ago to come in and discuss it with them.

Tammy Albertson’s remains were found in God’s Valley, in a logged area, a year after her disappearance. Brewer said, “Because it was a year out, there was no evidence from the scene, no DNA. Her bones were scattered, it was a partial skeleton, there was just enough to tell us that it was her.”

Brewer said “We can’t include or exclude Bobby Jack Fowler at this time. We don’t have anything that connects him, and we don’t have any DNA. But anything is possible.”

Brewer concluded, “Somebody coming forward would be our best new evidence.”

The Lincoln County tip line for information about Bobby Jack Fowler is 541-265-0271.

The prosecution and Lunsford’s (now ex-) wife say no, that Helena Lunsford and Chris Brusman were sitting on the edge of the bed fully clothed. The defense and Lunsford say that he walked in and saw his wife on the bed with her hips in the air, pulling up her underwear.

The prosecution says Lunsford walked in to Brusman’s travel trailer with a loaded handgun at 11:30 p.m. because he knew his wife was in there with Brusman, and he planned to use the gun.

The defense says that he woke up and the motion detector light was on outside, and he was concerned about a prowler. He went to Brusman’s trailer with a gun because he was going to ask Brusman to help him search the property for a thief.

Once there, defense claims, he was so shocked and stunned by the betrayal of the two people he loved most in the world, said defense attorney Dianna Gentry in her opening statement, that he temporarily lost his mind and started punching his wife in the face. When Brusman punched Lunsford in Helena’s defense, according to Gentry, Lunsford “saw a flash of light, and he just lost it. He saw red. The next thing he knows he’s stand-

MANURE:

ing over Chris Brusman dry firing the revolver, click, click, click.”

Both sides agree that Lunsford put the gun away in the house, drove down the road, called his sister, and then called 911.

He turned himself in at the Mohler grocery store without incident.

Helena Lunsford (now Zuniga, she’s remarried) admits that she was in love with Brusman for about a year. Helena, 26, is 25 years younger than both Lunsford and Brusman. She testified in holey jeans and a t-shirt, chewing gum and wearing a pony tail, raising one eyebrow and rolling her eyes as defense attorney Gentry tried to discredit her testimony, looking every bit like a defensive teenager. She cried when pressed about what happened in the trailer, and she cried remembering Brusman’s death.

A few things are certain. Helena Lunsford was having an affair with her husband’s best friend. Her husband found them together in Brusman’s trailer. He beat his wife and killed his friend. It remains for a jury to decide whether he knew what he was going to do when he walked in with a gun, or whether he coincidentally happened to be armed when he “saw red,” and moments later ‘came to’ over the body of his friend, “dry firing the revolver, click click, click.”

It looks unprepossessing from the road: a big rectangular hump in the field (that’s the mostly underground “digester”) with an adjacent barnlike building (housing the generator and providing storage for the sterile bedding material that is one of the facility's byproducts). Out back is a large pit where manure is piped in from four dairies (with a fifth about to go “on line”). All the piping is underground.

HOW IT WORKS Manure is piped in from the dairy farms, which are all nearby—“Instead of pumping it to a storage tank, it comes here,” Daryl Maas said—and “churned” together in a big pit. The mixture is piped to the digester, the mostly-underground football-field-sized box where it’s “processed” by anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that work without oxygen). The digester’s six chambers replicate what happens in a cow’s stomach, Maas said.

(This “cow” would be somewhat larger than the county courthouse, though.)

The methane gas—one of the byproducts of the digesting—is siphoned off to the adjacent barn-like building, where it powers a locomotive-sized engine that generates the electricity. The electricity is fed into Tillamook PUD’s power grid and is used locally. The engine produces roughly 1000 kilowatts of power, enough to supply 700 homes, Maas said.

It’s all deliberately simple, Maas said.

“We try to have equipment that works on a farm, and is farm-maintainable,” he said. Even the engine is “just a big engine,” designed to run on the methane gas generated by the digester. The facility is run by just two employees, Steve Smith and Jordan Robeson.

While the methane-generated electricity is Farm Power’s main stock in trade, the facility also produces two other products: liquid fertilizer, which is piped back to the farmers in proportion to their “contributions” of raw manure, and a sterile, powdery bedding material that is useful for both nursery bedding and cow bedding. It’s not necessary to buy sawdust for bedding any more, Maas suggested.

What makes the fiber usable as bedding, and the liquid attractive as fertilizer, is pasteurization, a new wrinkle Farm Power incorporated into the process.

Two of the chambers in the “cow-stomach” digester heat the contents to 130 degrees, destroying bacteria and producing a product that’s virtually odor-free.

Hot water from the engine next door provides the heat.

“Everything gets used. It's remarkable,” banker Rob Holden said. Holden’s New Resource Bank, located in San Francisco, provided most of the capital-$2.6 million—that built the McCormick Loop facility. The bank loan was guaranteed by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, which also contributed a $100,000 grant of its own.

The dairies supplying the McCormick Loop facility range from 100 to 1,000

cows, Daryl Maas said. He estimated the operation could handle the “output” of an additional 500 cows. “We’ll find out this winter,” he said. There’s more moisture— and therefore more volume—in the rainy winters.

THE RECEPTION Between 50 and 60 people attended the open house and “manure tours.”

Among the dignitaries in attendance besides Holden were Don Hollis and Tom Simonson from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Shawn Riersgaard from the Creamery (“We think we may partner with them down the road”), and representatives from Andgar Corp. (which designed the facility) and the Bonneville Power Administration (whose regional power grid isn't being used to transmit the electricity). A delegation came from the Port of Tillamook Bay, which operates a “community digester” of its own.

This is the fourth such facility built by Farm Power. There are three in Washington, at Rexville (their first, in 2007), Lynden and Enumclaw. A fifth facility is being built at the Hogan dairy in Tillamook County. “It’s nice to be working in a dairy-friendly community,” Maas said.

Maas is quick to point out the facilities are creating value in the county, from a product—manure—that used to be a hard-to-deal-with problem. Or as photographer Brenda Somes from Ruralite magazine put it, “It [manure] used to hit the fan. Now it runs the fan.”

BAERTLEIN: PROBLEMS FACING THE COUNTY Infrastructure is the county’s biggest problem, Baertlein said. “Roads are number one,� but down the road the county will need to replace or upgrade the courthouse, he said. “Right now, the county is renting quite a few buildings.�

Wind and wave energy is coming to the Coast, and “it could be a viewshed issue,� he said. “The state is still looking at a spot off Pacific City.�

The loss of family-wage jobs continues to be a problem, he said. Forty-percent of the Tillamook Burn is now set aside for environmental purposes, he noted. “All we can do is lobby and work as hard as we can.� The dairy industry is impacted by EPA and DEQ rules limiting smells — though the Port of Tillamook Bay is helping mitigate that with their manure digester.

When cattle die, their carcasses are shipped out of the county, to Coffin Butte, he said. “We could use a cow digester.�

The county, Baertlein emphasized, is not a job creator “but maybe a job salvager.�

One way the county could help stimulate job creation is by enhancing livability, he suggested. Livability is the number-one issue that attracts people: “What have you got for my kids?� If the county can upgrade its recreational opportunities, it would be a plus, he said.

One of the largest undeveloped tracts of industrial land on the Coast is in Tillamook County, Baertlein noted — the Port of Tillamook Bay’s complex off Highway 101. “If we can get something in the technology end out there, it would be a plus,� he said. “An area I’d like to see improved would be hiring a full-time marketing rep� to recruit business, he said.

Continued from Page A1

ROADS & TAXES “The Federal forest funds are gone,� Baertlein said. “That’s a big part of our roads problem.�

The bottom line, he said, is the money to fix the county roads “is going to come out of our pockets. I don’t know where else it can come from.�

The last county road levy didn’t lose by much, he noted.

The county is “between a rock and a hard place� with respect to taxes, Baertlein said.

Property taxes and timber revenues are the county’s main sources of revenue, but statewide ballot measures in 1990 and 1998 limited both property taxes and local governments’ ability to ask for more. “We have to be really fiscally responsible,� he said.

WORKING WITH OTHERS “I’ve been building relationships at the Port of Tillamook Bay,� Baertlein said. He’s serving on a rails-to-trails committee and knows officials from state parks, forestry and the governor’s office. “I know [State Rep.] Debby Boone, and I met [U.S. Senator] Ron Wyden as president of the Port board. I’m not intimidated by any of them.�

He expects to work well with incumbent commissioners Tim Josi and Mark Labhart. “Our primary responsibility is to solve problems.�

in to the Port of Tillamook Bay,� improvements to Tillamook’s downtown, and major changes with respect to livability. “Look where we’ve come in the last five years.� “I hope over the next 20 years the roads and infrastructure will be improved so they’re not a problem any more.� Being county commissioner, he said, would allow him to “continue pushing at a different level.�

He emphasized again the need for a long-range plan. “It’s got to be the community’s plan,� he said. “One size is not going to fit the whole county.�

The three sections of Tillamook County—north, south, and middle—“may have different directions,� he said. In South County, where there is no organized government except the county, “you’ve got to be with people,� Baertlein said. “I know a lot of folks in the farming community� in South County, he said.

THE TSUNAMI SIRENS “I think the county made the right decision from a financial standpoint,� Baertlein said. “Technology has changed so much since they went up they’re obsolete.� Upgrading the sirens—at an estimated cost of $3,500 apiece—when the sirens would have limited utility in an emergency didn’t make financial sense, he suggested.

BOTTOM LINE

AMBITIONS “I think county commissioner is as far as I’ll go,�

Baertlein said. Two terms as county commissioner would be enough, he said. “The campaigning process is not a fun thing. It takes a toll on your family.�

THE FUTURE? “I wish I had a crystal ball,�

Baertlein said. “I think we’re on the verge of some really good things. I think we’ll see some new businesses moving

Baertlein cites his financial background as one of the big pluses in electing him as county commissioner. “We may never have had a CPA as county commissioner,� he said. Born and raised in Tillamook County, “I have a lifelong experience with the issues� and ties to the business community county-wide. “I’ll be more user-friendly,� he said. “You don’t stay in business for 30 years without keeping clients happy and solving their problems.�

PHIPPS: “I think my experience and skills can help us through these challenging times,�

Phipps said. As the county’s coastal resource planner, “I spent the day part of my life all over the county,� she said. “From Falcon Cove to Cascade Head, everywhere’s different,� she said.

PROBLEMS FACING THE COUNTY Phipps identified the county budget, infrastructure — especially roads — and “meeting the fundamental needs of the community� as the top issues facing the county.

Phipps approaches the county commissioner’s job from a planning perspective, reflecting her background in county planning. “We have to have a strategic plan,� she said. Right now, the budget pits everything against each other. “I’m talking about looking at how’s [the] business working. Are we efficient? Organizational capacity issues,� she said. It requires involving everyone in the community to determine priorities and needs. “We need to re-connect people back to their government,� she said, “getting people invested in what’s going on.� “We are past single solutions,� Phipps said. “It’s going to be about partnerships, leveraging and thinking outside the box, making people aware you have to plan for the future.� “County commissioners aren’t job creators,� Phipps said. “We are involved in the EDC (Economic Development Council), and facilitate conversations with the ports and among the cities.� The county can provide a healthy and sustainable “pathway� for economic development, she said.

She described the Port of Tillamook Bay as an “underused resource� — the largest tract of industrial land in the county, “well-suited for a lot of industry if it had the infrastructure.� The port has taken some steps to move that forward, she said. “Until we have the infrastructure in place, it’ll be a challenge for economic development.�

ROADS & TAXES

Continued from Page A1 last go-around,� Phipps said. “It was close but failed.� Fixing and maintaining the roads will take “a package of solutions,� she said. She suggested a county transient room tax — “It won’t fix the roads but it will help fill the gap.� As much as 30 percent of the money could be spent on roads (state law requires 70 percent of room tax money be spent on promoting tourism). “There will be some kind of bond or levy we’ll have to be as part of,� she said. Improving partnerships with other organizations and governments will help, too. “Take a look again at road districts,� she said. There used to be three road districts in Tillamook County, in the north, central and south parts of the county. They would have a permanent tax rate and know what to budget, she said.

WORKING WITH OTHERS “I have a really extensive network among cities and non-profits,� Phipps said. “I even got an endorsement from Congressman Schrader — we go back to D.C. every year for EPA meetings� and talk about issues here, she said. She also serves on a State Forestry Dept. advisory committee (an “eye-opening experience,� she said). “I look forward to working with [commissioners] Tim Josi and Mark Labhart,�

Phipps said. “They each bring their own experience to the table.� She has ample experience of her own. “I’m a little hard to ignore,� she said. “I’m not taking this position to sit around and watch things happen.�

Splitting Tillamook County between two state House and two state Senate districts could have a plus side, Phipps said, giving Tillamook County four voices in the state legislature instead of just two. The “South County� candidates — two would-be State Representatives from Lincoln County, and two would-be State Senators from Coos County — have been working their way through Tillamook County as they campaign, she noted. “It seems like those folks are trying to be in touch. I hope it holds true.� The Coastal Caucus in the legislature has a lot of influence, she said.

“I watched the road bond

AMBITIONS “I’d just like to get to county commissioner,� Phipps said. “I’m sure it will keep me interested for quite a while.�

THE FUTURE? “I see a great future,�

Phipps said, “with each community retaining its unique characteristics but thriving.�

All the pieces are here, she suggested; “we just need to pull together and support it.� “We’re still at a point where we can create our own future. Right now, the door’s wide open,� she said.

THE TSUNAMI SIRENS “I went to Rockaway Beach for the tsunami drill,�

Phipps said. “911 worked in many places but not in others.

For some, the Civil Air Patrol message was hard to hear.

From the interior of your home, perhaps you couldn’t hear it at all.� A lot of challenges were identified, she said.

The decision to get rid of the sirens has been made, she said. “The county has been talking about this for a while.�

She faulted the county for not involving the public more. “I’d go into communities impacted by the decision— bring professionals. There should have been a road show,� she said. The sirens are just a tool, she emphasized. “But if we’re going to take the tool away, we need to understand why.�

BOTTOM LINE “I bring [to the table] local government experience as mayor of Rockaway Beach, and as an employee and manager for Tillamook County.

I’ve represented Tillamook County at the state level on boards and as Mayor,� Phipps said. “I can hit the ground running with the partnerships necessary to move the county forward.�

Phipps also cites her planning experience and background in hazard management--“That’s important in Tillamook County�—and experience managing budgets of all sizes, from Rockaway Beach to the Estuaries Partnership to various non-profits.

And “a solid background in law. I can maneuver my way through it.�

Tillamook can’t find offense at Seaside

Bobcats beat Warrenton, claim No. 1 ranking

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald

After a great opening drive, Seaside scores 37 unanswered points

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

On Sept. 28, the Tillamook Cheesemaker football team's hard work during the summer and the preseason was supposed to all come to fruition. Hours of work in the weight room, in the classroom and on the field all led up to their first Cowapa League game of the season against the Seaside Seagulls, a team that Tillamook absolutely trounced last season, 47-0. But this season’s Seaside team was 3-1 going into the game just like Tillamook, so the Cheesemakers knew they had to be ready to play. And early on, they were.

It only took Tillamook six plays and one minute of clock to chew up 70 yards for their first touchdown of the game. A 44-yard run from Jacob Wassmer set the table for Cole Berge to finish off the drive with a 17-yard touchdown scamper. With 10:50 left in the first quarter, Tillamook made their extra point and led Seaside 7-0.

Unfortunately for the Cheesemakers, it only took the Seagulls 2:10 to answer back with a 24-yard touchdown of their own. Tillamook denied the extra point and took a 7-6 lead PHOTO BY ANTHONY RIMEL into the second quarter. That was the Not even the usually exceptional quickness of Jacob Wassmer could help the Cheesemakers last time they'd see the lead.

Two drives later, Seaside managed get something going against the Seaside defense on Friday night. to knock in a field goal to take the lead, 9-7. Then they recovered a “Jacob Wassmer gave us a great effort, and Brock Lorenzo Tillamook fumble which they turned into seven more points came in to replace Berge and worked hard the entire game,” and a 16-7 lead.

Tillamook ran for and regroup for the second half, disaster struck and Seaside 106 yards on 20 carries in the first half, but only had 6 yards punched in another touchdown with only 20 seconds left in on 12 carries in the second half. Combine that with 5 for 14 the half. Seaside made the extra point and led 23-7 at half. passing in the game for 48 yards and the Tillamook offense Tillamook was never able to recover. could only muster 160 yards total. Dickson is well aware “The Seaside game went south on us pretty quick,” said they're going to need more than that if they're going to win Tillamook Head Coach Matt Dickson. “We started out great games in the Cowapa League. driving 70 yards for a touchdown. Then, Berge injured his “We have to establish a running game early,” Dickson knee and didn’t return to the game.

BILL BAERTLEIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER Position 1

H14539

DEBORAH

The Nestucca Bobcats have flat out steamrolled their first two opponents this season. Their size and strength have separated them from the beginning to the end. But they haven’t played a team the caliber the Warrenton Warriors. That is until they squared off against the Warriors in Warrenton on Sept. 28 in a game that turned into battle in the trenches and a brutal fight between two high powered football teams.

The Bobcats came out tough, moving the Warriors backwards on Warrenton’s first drive and followed up with huge defensive plays on their next two drives as well.

Passes knocked down by Max Kirkendall, a big sack from Ronnie Moffett and an interception by Zach Welch all broke up any Warrior would-be scoring drives.

Bobcat Head Coach Jeff Schiewe was especially happy with the game and the season put together by Moffett.

“He is a very quick sophomore,” Schiewe said. “He has done good things every game.”

Both team’s defenses held tough, giving up very little.

When one of the offenses got something going, another big defensive play would snuff out any hope of scoring.

After a great defensive series from linemen Jacob Menefee and Nate Parks, who combined for sacks and pressure all game long. The Bobcats took the ball over at midfield.

The Bobcat running game got going on the next drive with a 6-yard run from Drace Moeller, a 9-yard run from Sam Whiteman and then a break away run for 32 yards from Zack Welch for the game’s first touchdown. The extra point was missed, which became even more important when the Warriors responded three plays later with a good pass and some good outside blocking that sprung the Warriors for a 31-yard touchdown on a screen pass. The Warriors’ extra point kick was good giving them a 7-6 lead going into halftime.

The Bobcats started the second half with the ball, but after a 10-play drive fumbled it away, only to get it back at midfield after forcing a Warrior punt.

Then on the legs of Moeller and Whiteman, the Bobcat pushed the ball down to the 3-yard line before Zach Welch took it into the end zone for the Bobcats’ second score of the game. On the two point conversion, it was Moeller going over right tackle that gave the Bobcats a 14-7 lead.

Not to be outdone, the Warriors came back two plays later and capitalized on some uncharacteristic missed tackles to score and potentially tie the game. But, on the extra point, the Bobcats ran out 6-foot 5-inch Wyatt Peterson.

Peterson got one of his big paws up on the extra point attempt and blocked the kick to preserve the Bobcats’ lead, 14-13.

The Bobcats did what they had to for the rest of the game on offense, grinding clock and getting the needed first downs to keep the Warriors off the field. After a big first down run by Moeller, Kirkendall was able to kneel on the ball and make the helpless Warriors watch the final seconds tick off the clock. The Bobcat’s had sealed the victory, 14-13.

Nestucca’s line once again came though huge and Coach Schiewe knows that’s what helped his team get past a tough Warrenton squad.

“Only two plays were for loss in the game for us,” Schiewe said. “The line is doing an outstanding job of moving the line of scrimmage forward.”

The score was reported to OSAA after the game, shuffling the ranking and making the Bobcats the No. 1 ranked team for a 2A in the state.

Schiewe was happy about the ranking and how his team has played, but he’s aware that a No. 1 ranking puts a bullseye on your back going into their first league on Oct. 5 at Knappa.

“We’re playing tough every week and I tell the guys to go out there and send a message,” Schiwew said. “We’re not a flashy NFL style team. We control the line and keep it simple and the guys are going to have to decide if that's the message they’re going to send every week.”

Bobcats have flashes of brilliance Headlight Herald Sports

The Nestucca Bobcat volleyball team is making their way through Northwest League play and were 0-2 so far in league when they traveled to Faith Bible on Sept. 27 followed participating in the Country Christian Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 29.

The Lady ‘Cats did what they could against the Faith Bible, but the Falcons have a very good volleyball program.

Faith Bible won the first two sets, 25-20 and 25-23 before the Bobcats came back.

The Bobcats won the third set 25-18 to force a fourth which the Falcons won 25-16 to take the match.

“We played a good match, with lots of extended rallies,” said Bobcat volleyball coach John Elder. “Kycie Richwine had a good night serving and hitting. Jackie Wilkinson did a good job in the middle with seven for seven hitting and Courtney Ahn played a strong game at setter.

“Its fun to see the girls playing smarter each game, and

keeping the rallies going with some outstanding saves.”

Country Christian Tournament The Bobcats were in trouble before their first match even started with Jasmine Boisa out for family reasons and Jackie Wilkinson sidelined due to an ankle injury. Despite the absence of two of their top players, the Bobcats did manage to finish in sixth place out of eight teams.

“Again, we played some good sets during the day with flashes of what we want to look like as a team,” Elder said. “We just need to do that consistently.

“Trisha Hopkins had a good day at the net and serving, as did Emily Menefee. Patricia Hedrick had a good day setting front row. We also got a chance to see extended play from Marissa Dempsey, Kaelin McKillip and Virginia Garcia because of our missing girls.”

The Lady 'Cats will try to get in the win column when they travel to Portland Christian for a 6:30 p.m. game on Oct. 4.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Northwest Outdoor Show comes to KTIL Starting last Saturday, The Northwest Outdoor Show with Lance Fisher will be airing on KTIL 95.9 from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Saturday mornings.

Northwest Outdoors features celebrity guests and local authorities discussing fishing and hunting topics relevant to the Pacific Northwest. This is Lance’s 8th season hosting fishing and hunting experts along with national personalities. Former guests included General Chuck Yeager, Governor Ted Kulongoski, Ted Nugent, Earl Campbell, Larry Csonka, Chipper Jones, Dennis Green and other professional baseball and football players. But make no mistake about it, this is a show about NW Fishing and Hunting.

Professionally, Lance has hosted thousands of customers on his guide/charter boats over the years fishing for Salmon, steelhead and sturgeon. Lance is a regular on the Columbia River, Tillamook Bay, the Cowlitz River, Willamette and Pacific Ocean.

Lance has also written articles on Cold Water Fisheries for regional and national publications. He has served as a contributor for Fishing and Hunting News, The Fish Sniffer, ESPN Outdoors and more.

Lance currently blogs and writes exclusively for a site he owns called Fishwire.net, which is committed entirely to cold water fisheries.

Lance Fisher resides in Lake Oswego, Oregon with his wife Brittany and twin daughters Sophia and Sarah, but spends much of his time in Tillamook County.

“What I'm really looking forward to with having Lance on every Saturday is the fact that he's someone who will be talking about local fisheries the local crowd can really be interested in,” said KTIL General Manager Shaena Peterson. “Besides himself, he's a guy who will have local guests who are here fishing regularly in local waters.”

Fisher is also excited about his opportunity to broadcast to the Oregon Coast near Tillamook County.

“Being one of the great sport fishing and hunting locations in the Pacific Northwest, I'm very grateful and excited to be apart of the outdoor community in Tillamook County,” added Fisher.

Tillamook Youth Football Tillamook youth football had another great showing on Sept. 29. The third and fourgraders played against Banks and beat the little Braves, 36-12.

The fifth and sixth-graders played Warrenton put down a whipping of their own, beating the Warriors 28-0.

Lady Cheesemakers light up Seaside and Yamhill-Carton

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

Falling to Scappoose in their first league game of the year was admittedly a disappointment by Cheesemaker Volleyball head Coach Kim Seidel. Her team has been eying a Cowapa League title since they were in fifth-grade and losing in come-frombehind fashion to the Indians was flat out heartbreaking.

But, instead of throwing themselves a pity party, they had an excellent showing at the Sisters tournament and mentally got themselves ready for more league play. Well, there’s little doubt when the Lady ‘Mooks

traveled to Seaside on Sept. 25 and Yamhill-Carlton on Sept.

27, both their opponents were looking for the Cheesemakers to come out flat. They didn’t.

Tillamook was red hot at Seaside and all but barbecued the Seagulls, winning the match is straight sets, 25-23, 25-21 and 25-9.

“It was a little scary going into the game because we only had six girls at practice the day before the game because of sickness,” Seidel said. “We didn’t quite play like ourselves and I felt like Seaside played some of their best volleyball in the first game. That mixed with a few uncharacteristic mistakes made me feel lucky

we got away in only three sets.”

Tillamook @ YC Two days after routing the Seagulls, Tillamook took their show on the road to YamhillCarlton. The Tigers were likely hoping for a lull in the Cheesemakers’ storm, but there wouldn’t be any relief for YC. Tillamook remained hot, blowing the Tigers off the map in straight sets, 25-10, 25-15 and 25-9.

Katie Warren had a monster game with 11 kills as did Kennady Johnson who added another seven. Defensively, Marrissa Zerngast had five blocks and Kara Moore was a

perfect 21-21 serving.

“We got really solid play from our back row too,” Seidel said. “Christing Schilliger, Tessa Streeter and Maisyn Oliver were excellent.

“We know what we’re capable of and we know how to do it. The rest of the Cowapa League games can’t come fast enough. We’re excited to keep rolling.”

The Lady Cheesemakers will get that chance to continue their winning ways when they play at home against Astoria on Oct. 2 and at home against Banks on Oct. 4. Both games will start at 7 p.m..

Pirates travel to Santiam, beat up the Wolverines Headlight Herald Sports

Pirate football has suffered lately. But, when they traveled to Santiam to take on the Wolverines on Sept. 28, they had an excellent chance to get back on track.

“We played okay, at some points in the game, but other times we definitely didn't,” said Pirate Head Coach Scott Ross.

One of the times they might not have been their best was on the opening possession for the Wolverines.

Santiam took the opening kick off and put together a great drive to start the game, capping it off with a 28-yard touchdown pass on third and long that could have demobi-

lized the Pirates.

“I thought that it was a wake up call for us after a long bus trip,” Ross explained. “We needed to mentally prepare for the game on that trip and we didn't. That touchdown kind of kicked out our cobwebs and helped get us going.”

The Pirates trailed 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, but in the second they answered back with a long drive of their own ending in a 1-yard touchdown run from Brad Watson.

The second score in the quarter for the Pirates when Brad Watson picked off a pass and took it 47 yards to the end zone. The Pirates got the 2point conversion and led 14-6 at half.

The third quarter was more Pirates running game. Craig Grasseth took off for a 38-yard touchdown run and Watson punched another one in from the 1-yard line. The Pirates didn't convert either extra point, but their defense stepped up and didn’t allow any points in the third.

“I felt like we did well moving the ball on offense and our defense bent, but didn't break,” Ross said.

The Pirate defense did give up a touchdown in the fourth, but the offense got one too and the Pirates hung on to get the win, 33-14.

A big part of that win was the ground game from NeahKah-Nie. Craig Grasseth

ended the game with 121 yards on 17 carries and one touchdown. Watson had 77 yards on 11 carries and two rushing touchdowns and one on defense.

A welcome addition was the return of Alejandro Quintana running the ball. He only got four carries, but tallied up 48 yards on those carries.

With the win, the Pirates moved to 2-3 on the season before their homecoming and first league game on Oct. 5 against the 5-0, Portland Christian Royals.

“They have a lot of good athletes and we’re going to try and sow them down,” Ross said. “I'm just glad we got a good win going into league.”

‘Hat trick’ for Mondragon in 7-0 win over YC

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook’s boys soccer team has some very talented players on the roster, but they have had some bad luck this season and don’t have the record at this point in the year that they’d hoped for.

They were only 1-4 and coming off a tough loss at home to Seaside when they hosted the Yamhill-Carlton Tigers on Sept. 26.

Tillamook was obviously chomping at the bit to redeem themselves against the Tigers.

Ernesto Mondragon is Tillamook’s most explosive player onto the field every time he steps on it, and he blew up big time against YC. Mondragon scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of the game earning a ‘hat trick’. All of which were strikes from deep outside the 18-yard box. Tillamook also got a PK goal from Ryan Hammond and a beautiful header from Leroy Mendez in the first half to lead 5-0 at halftime.

The Cheesemakers added two more goals in the second

half, one of which was on a exquisite cross from Hammond to the head of Sean Rummage, to end the game 7-0.

“I was really glad to see we had seven players involved in the scoring,” said Tillamook Head Coach Brian Reynolds.

Tillamook will put their 1-1 Cowapa League record on the line when they travel to Astoria on Oct. 1 for a 6 p.m. game against the 2-0 in JOSIAH DARR PHOTO league, Astoria Fishermen.

Then, the Cheesemakers will Mondragon’s ‘hat trick’ only took 16 host Banks on Oct. 3., also at minutes against Yamhill-Carlton.

Bay City to dedicate new park Oct. 6

BY JOE WRABEK

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Bay City will dedicate its newest park, the Watt Family Park, Saturday, Oct. 6 at 11 a.m. The ceremony will be held at the park, on Tillamook Avenue about two blocks east of Highway 101.

The 5.79-acre parcel, originally the site of the Bay City grade school, had been the site of Tillamook Bay Community College before the college moved to its new building in Tillamook. The city purchased the property with grant funds from the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department (OPRD).

“It all started 11 years ago,” city councilmember Pat Vining told the Headlight Herald.

Among the recommendations of a visioning exercise in 2000 was establishment of a park on the east side of town. The “old college” property was considered for a new fire hall when the school district put it up for sale, Vining said—it’s out of the tsunami zone—“but we realized it wouldn’t work for a fire hall.”

Bay City’s Watt Family Park, from west. The existing sports field is behind the fence.

Much of the “match” for the state Parks & Recreation grant funds came in the form of inkind services donated by numerous people in the community, Vining said. The balance was a 10-year loan.

“It’s pretty exciting that we get to do this,” Vining said.

“We’ve had several meetings and have a tentative design.” A second Oregon Parks & Recreation grant paid for the design work. The “Watt Family Park Master Plan” calls for a day use pavilion, playground, rain gar-

den, basketball court, restrooms, and a sports track surrounding the existing sports field. There will be a landing site for a helicopter, too. “The Coast Guard has tried it,” Bay City public works director Dave Pace said, “and they say it’ll work.”

Construction of a lot of the facilities will have to wait for the next outlay of state park grant funds, Vining said.

State Sen. Betsy Johnson, State Rep. Deborah Boone, and Tillamook County commission-

ers have been invited to the ribbon-cutting, along with state Parks & Recreation. “Hopefully, someone from OPRD can come,” Pace said. “They paid for most of it.”

The Watt Family Park— named for a prominent pioneer family in Bay City—is the third Bay City park. It joins Al Griffin Memorial Park downtown and a much larger Forest Park that is still undeveloped. A trail system is planned to link the three parks, Vining said.

RARE opportunity for Tillamook

BY JOE WRABEK

jwrabek@countrymedia.net

For the next 11 months, two interns with the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) program will be working in Tillamook.

RARE is an Americorps project, run out of the University of Oregon. Its purpose is “to increase the capacity of rural communities to improve their economic, social and environmental conditions with the aid of trained graduatelevel people who work and live in the community for 11 months.” Each participating community contributes $19,000 of the $27,000 needed to place, train and support a RARE “member” for the 11 months they’re in the community.

Since its inception the RARE program has placed over 350 RARE “members” in communities around Oregon.

There are 29 “members” in the field this year, including the two in Tillamook, at Food Roots NW and Tillamook City.

Food Roots NW

RARE intern Taylor Larson is working for Food Roots NW in Tillamook.

Originally from Pleasant Hill, Oregon (east of Eugene), Larson did a stint in the Peace Corps before graduate school at the University of Oregon.

“I was in Zambia,” Larson said, “running an agri-forestry extension office in a small village. Soil conservation, improved farming techniques.”

He is a graduate of the University of Puget Sound in Washington.

Officially, Larson is a

“Community Food Developer” for Food Roots. His project is going to be a study—“a snapshot of what’s going on in production—who’s growing what, why, hurdles, recommendations for policies—and distribution—what’s available.”

The end product will be delivered to both Food Roots NW and the Oregon Food Bank.

His home, while in Tillamook County the next 11 months, is a yurt south of Hebo. “I love it here. The weather’s been great. I know it’ll get dark and rainy later, but it’s great.”

Unlike the dry, regional, and often incomprehensible census data, Larson’s study won’t be “strictly quantitative or qualitative,” he said. “I’ll be doing a lot of one-on-one interviews with farmers, fishermen, grocery store owners, and distributors, getting people’s stories. Asking the right questions is essential to any good study. We’ve got to make it make sense.

“I’ll be driving around a lot,” he said. “You can’t do this sitting at a desk.”

Larson’s background is in economics—specifically international political economics.

What led him to Food Roots?

“I worked on farms all through high school. What forms small communities is farmers. Food systems are economic systems, Larson said, “but it gets lost in the technical side of growing food.”

“I’ll be looking at CSA (community supported agriculture), value-added, all sorts of co-op movements. We have all these great ideas—but if you can’t make it pan out on paper, it won’t be sustainable.

Gary Albright, Pioneer Museum Director, invites the public to donate to the museum’s “Indie-go-go” account to help pave some of the trails at Kilchis Point."

Kilchis Point Reserve sets up crowdfunding campaign The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum has set up an Internet fundraising site for Kilchis Point with “Indie-go-go.” Their goal is to raise $8800 to make the trails handicapped accessible. The deadline for the fundraiser is November 4, 2012.

“We thought this might be a fun way to raise additional funds for our trails,” said the museum’s Kilchis Point Cultural Heritage Manager Caitlin Heusser. “The trails we have are pretty well groomed now but not everyone can access them. By raising additional funds, we will be able to pave more of the trails so everyone can enjoy the beauty there.”

If you can help the museum, please go to this link: http://igg.me/p/221896?a=1181036 and donate what you can. For more information, call the museum at 503-842-4553 or visit their website at tcpm.org.

We need to take a serious approach.”

Food Roots NW, headquartered in Tillamook, was founded in 2006 to cultivate a healthy food system on the North Coast. Food Roots programs support local food production and access through community and school gardens, educational activities and outreach programs, and by supporting community and economic development.

City of Tillamook

RARE intern Terra Wilcoxson is working for the City of Tillamook for the next 11 months.

She’s a June graduate of the University of Oregon with a Master’s degree in architecture. “I’m interested in public architecture and urban design,” she said. Her undergraduate work was in art, at Reed College in Portland, “with a focus in psychology. I started working as a social worker while in college, and started to realize the impact of the built environment on the people I worked with. I started taking planning

classes at Portland State, and that led me to urban design.”

Wilcoxson will live in Tillamook while working on a number of projects for the city.

“TURA [the urban renewal district] has a streetscape committee, and I’ll be working on streetscape standards. I’ll work on public arts projects for the City, and infrastructure for the projects. I’ll do case studies on other communities.” She’ll be working most closely with city manager Paul Wyntergreen.

Tillamook has been “very welcoming,” Wilcoxson said.

“Everyone has been really forthcoming.” These are great projects, she said, “with a lot of richness and depth. It’s an opportunity to learn a lot.”

Tillamook, she said, is “really committed to a public process.”

Public spaces, Wilcoxson said, have a big impact on how people live; they need to be designed to be actively used and cared about. “Part of my job now is to see how well that’s working. Ask me in a few months.”

Begin - Carver Johnny Begin and Melissa Carver of Tillamook announce that they will join their hands in marriage.

Melissa is the daughter of Timothy and Roxanne Carver of Tillamook. She graduated from Nestucca High School in 2008. She is attending her last year at Western Oregon University. Melissa will graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Bilingual Elementary Education.

Johnny Begin is the son of Tami and the late John Begin of Tillamook. He graduated from Tillamook High School in 2009.

Johnny is enrolled in his final year of college at Western Oregon University. He will graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in High School Health.

This happy couple got engaged Aug. 15 on their fourth anniversary. Johnny proposed at the very place they first laid eyes on each other. They have set their hearts on getting married at a friend’s home in Tillamook on Aug. 17, 2013. Johnny and Melissa invite their family and friends to join them on their special day as two become one.

heresa Smith honored me with an invitation for lunch as her guest with the Nesko Women’s Club last Friday. Catered by Irma Scroggins at The Hudson House in Cloverdale, the meeting drew quite a crowd. I got to sit at the officer’s table, since Theresa is President of the philanthropic organization, flanked by Treasurer Penny Storry and Historian Joni Wells. Joni raved about standup paddle-boarding classes on the Nestucca River taught by Jodie Dodge of Nestucca Adventures, which I hear is located across the street from Riverside Market in Pacific City.

Over apple crisp ala mode, Joni went on to tell our table of her vacation plans this winter with her husband Scott to visit the couple’s grown son Corey and his wife Kirten along with grandsons Gavin (10) and Garret (7). The destination is Honduras, where the younger Wells are settled into a “nice three bedroom stucco house” to serve as missionaries. Joni predicted that she’ll “be slapping tortillas while [her husband] slaps cement” during their much anticipated stay.

I was allowed to tarry for the business meeting where I learned that a scaled down version of Nestucca’s Christmas Basket program will be a joint effort this year between the Nesko Women and Nestucca Valley Lions Club with work parties at the new Hebo Fire

wishes to our mayor, Shaena Peterson! We all hope it was a great one for you!

The Landing Restaurant is sporting a new waitress. Her name is Rebecca Hyatt and she is being trained by Teresa, so she is bound to pick up some of Teresa’s fun and quirky personality. Stop in and say hi to her and welcome to our business community Rebecca!

I also was fortunate enough to have dinner with Robert and Kathy Pollack at Downie’s one evening last week and had the opportunity to banter back and forth with Reagan, a waitress there that we all know and love. I am becoming addicted to their famous, mouth-watering pies and my muffin top is going to turn into a huge donut if I am not careful! But oh yummy, the pie I had (butter pecan is my favorite) was well worth it!

Erin Dietrich and family welcomed the birth of their daughter Sahalie Aja and she is a real beauty. Congratulations to big brother Xaviar and parents!

I must not forget to mention meeting Emily Rose, the adorable sister of my little dog Ranger. They recognized each other and seemed happy to meet up again. I can see playdates in his future!

t is definitely a beautiful day in the neighborhood as I sit down to write this. I am sure the sunshine will come to an end soon but I am ready to embrace the fall season, too.

ou can just feel that fall coming with the coolness in the air, but the sunshine is blessing us, so gardening is still fun.

Our 11 year old went off to Outdoor School. It doesn’t seem possible for him to be on that journey of his life yet--they all grow up so fast. While we were waiting for the bus to arrive, I started looking around and seeing all of these young boys and girls faces, remembering some of them at pre-school and kindergaten--so little, so excited, everything new and exciting, now to see them in middle school starting to become young men and women. It’s hard to believe that much time has passed. Well, enough about that before I start to miss him even more.

If the kids are looking for something fun to do indoors with the weather getting cooler, check into the N.C.R.D. Swim Club & Team. Monday and Thursdays after school.

Work outs are flip turns, butterfly, breastroke, racing starts and a lot more. Coach is Kiley Konruff. For more information call the pool at 503368-7121 or maybe give the Friday night swim a try--it starts again on October 5th.

A special Pilates for Pink+ Class, this is a fundraiser for breast cancer. It supports The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This will be taught by Debbie Crosman and will be held at 1:00 p.m. in the Riverbend room on October 7th.

Contact Debbie at 503-3684595 to register, and you don’t need to know Pilates to participate, but be sure to wear pink!

Don’t forget to bring your

The City of Garibaldi is still looking for someone to fill one of the “civilian” posts on the Urban Renewal Board. You’re eligible if you’re a registered voter who has lived in Garibaldi a year or more. The 9-member Urban Renewal Board has been meeting quarterly, Interested?

Bring or mail a letter of interest to City Hall by Thursday, Oct. 11. The Garibaldi City Council may make the appointment at their regular meeting Monday, Oct. 15.

If you’ve visited the Garibaldi Library recently, or attended a function out on the Dance Floor, you may have noticed strategiclooking holes in the walls and ceiling, where plaster or paneling or ceiling tiles are missing.

That is not the result of natural causes: the building is not that old (the main part was built in 1948), and we haven’t had that earthquake we keep being warned about. The holes (etc.)

The fishing must be going good or just a lot of avid fishermen out there with all the boats we’ve been seeing. If you don’t have a boat check out The Wheeler Marina; Jim rents boats and also sells fishing licenses, bait and can give you updated information on local fishing. But get out and give fishing a try--you might come home with salmon for dinner tonight--or maybe try some fly fishing if you can and catch a trout.

Took a nice brisk walk thru Wheeler to look at the shop windows, had a nice time-found some ideas from the Creative Fabrics Store of future projects to try when winter gets here. Thinking of doing a quilt — maybe – they look so beautiful, but to a person who can’t sew a straight line, not too sure.

Just want to let you know Marcy Russo won the quilt that the Nehalem Bay Volunteer Fire Association sold raffle tickets for. Congratulations Marcy Russo!

If you have children in the Nehalem Elementary School don’t forget the Parent Council Meeting on October 2nd at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. It’s a great way to get involved with the school and help out when or if you can, or just keep updated on what’s going on. If you can’t make this, try the School Board meeting to see what’s happening at all the schools, and if there is something you would like to have input on, October 8th at the Nehalem Elementary School at 6:30 p.m.; it is usually at the District Office in Rockaway. Hope to see you out having fun with fall.

TAPA’s production of the Monk Ferris play “A Fine Monster You Are!” starts Friday, Oct. 12; among the performers are Sandra Koops from Garibaldi and my boss, Headlight Herald publisher Samantha Swindler.

The play runs three weekends — October 12-13, 19-21, and 26-28. The Sunday performances are matinees. Get tickets at Diamond Art Jewelers, 503/8427940 — and you should do it early: the play is expected to be a sellout.

A couple of longer-term heads-up — I’ll have more details as we get closer: The Garibaldi Museum’s Hallowe’en celebration will take place Sunday, October 28. The Museum’s open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; refreshments start at noon, and games at 1 p.m. You must be 12 or younger and accompanied by an adult to participate in the games. They’ve planned a scavenger hunt, and a costume fashion show (with prizes). Free admission for those in costume.

Friday, Nov. 2 is Marie Antoinette’s birthday, and there’ll be a birthday party at the Bay City Arts Center, starting at 7 p.m.; there will be cake (of course), and a Performer Showcase featuring (among others) Sedona Fire, Wayne Turpen, Mark and Elissha Siever, poet Linda Werner, and myself and Dennis “Doc” Wagner. There may be other performers as well.

I

t was a busy and happy time spent at James and my granddaughter Brianne’s wedding to Robert Margolin on Saturday, September 22. The wedding was held in the Crown Ballroom in the Pythian Building built in Portland, Oregon 1907. The ceremony was held at 6 p.m. Prettiest wedding I have been to.

Thanks to Mark and Elaine Bennett for driving David Bennett and me to Portland to the wedding. Finding the right streets to take is sometimes a little tricky these days.

The evening was warm and

groom’s father, David Margolin. Rob and Brianne exchanged their vows to one another. Lots more pictures taken.

Dinner was a roast beef dinner. Brianne’s father danced with the bride and Rob’s mother danced with the groom.

More dancing in those stiletto spike heels. (I’ll bet there were sore feet the day after the wedding.) A three-tiered cake was baked by Rob’s sister. A block of rooms was reserved at the Westin Hotel for the guests to stay overnight. David and I had joining rooms with Mark and Elaine. After the wedding and reception, we watched the Oregon Ducks win 49 to 0 over Arizona. Rob and Brianne Margolin left on their honeymoon on Sept. 25.

Jan Lamfers, a former resident of Cape Meares, stopped by on Friday, September 21 for a short visit. Her son Terry drove from Los Angeles with his wife, Nancy and Jan. Jan now lives in Sibley, Iowa. They are badly in need of rain there.

Jan has a niece living at Kilchis

House. It has been four years since Jan’s last visit. Jan and her husband, Dick, formerly lived on upper Fourth Street, Cape Meares. Jan returned to her hometown, Sibley, Iowa after Dick passed away. Jan’s sisters and her mother were there when Jan moved there.

Her mother and one sister have since passed away. Terry, who works for Universal Pictures in L.A., and his wife Nancy took a walk along Cape Meares Beach while Jan and I reminisced about the people and times in those early years.

Jan was one of the first members of Friends Of Cape Meares Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge. She enjoyed volunteering at the lighthouse and was very sorry to hear of the damage to the lens a few years ago. Jan and Dick always came to the Cape Meares potlucks and community events. I really think it is nice to include me on Jan, Terry and Nancy’s visit to Tillamook and Cape Meares. Thanks and come again Lamfers. Love seeing you.

For each “kid”, that will probably include you, too, you’ll need two sticks (I use wood dowels) and a loop made of three strands braided cloth, yarn, thick cotton twine or anything that will absorb and hold the solution. Affix the loop to the end of the sticks about 1/3 of the loop apart.

The bigger the loop, the bigger the bubble.

Dip the loop in the solution until it’s soaked. Keep the sticks together, lift high overhead and slowly move the sticks apart. Works best in a gentle breeze. When the bubble is as big as you want, move the stick tips back together and it will pinch off the bubble. Or you can keep the sticks apart

and go for length. Our record is 80 ft.

At this point, magic happens.

I have done this on the beach at Pacific City on a weekday at noon and within ten minutes there were fifty people gathered around, oohing and ahhing. I’ve seen adults break into uncontrolled giggles. Dan Doyle, the man in the photo, took the sticks away from his grandson and told him to go play.

To see video of large bubbles, YouTube, search “Son of Bubble Yoda.” Although I don’t have a photo to document, I’ve made a bubble the size of a small RV.

NOTES FROM THE COAST Cheap fun

M

y lovely and intelligent wife Joani and I were stopped at an intersection when, turning in front of us, was a RV just like my uncle’s. It was totally self-contained, with everything a starter house has, except in addition it had two SCHUBERT freezers and a generator MOORE big enough to light Bay City in the winter.

The thing was, as it swung into the lane, we saw attached, a trailer the size of our bedroom. We burst into laughter.

If you’ve seen extended-cab pickups towing enough recreational equipment to furnish the Costco summer display, you might conclude it is impossible to have fun unless you spend two bushels of paper money.

In the interest of fair disclosure, I have to admit to one time owning a large piece of recreational equipment, one of the dory boats of Pacific City. I remember telling Joani as a justification for buying the boat, just think how much

The Bubble Yoda

money we’d save by going into the ocean and catching all that free seafood. My wife is detail-oriented and she estimated when all the boat expenses we’re figured in, we had reduced what we paid for seafood to just $42 per pound.

You’ve forgotten, but any toddler knows. The box is more fun than the toy. You can have more fun with your kids without selling one of them by making big bubbles for a few bucks. You’ll need 20 oz Dawn dish soap, ½ c glycerin, ½ teaspoon J-Lube (used by veterinarians, available on the internet), 4.5 oz. tube K-Y Jelly and 1 ½ gal. water. Except for Dawn, all this stuff is much cheaper on the internet.

sunny. How lucky can you get?

We walked from the ballroom to the Park Blocks for wedding pictures to be taken before the wedding. That was a beautiful setting for pictures. (I don’t envy those gals wearing high stiletto heels). My flats were just fine since I wore a long dress and didn’t want to trip.

Brianne’s wedding dress was a long white dress with sequins and was off the shoulder. The lower part of the dress was a fish tail flounce attached with short train and a long veil.

The ballroom was a lovely place to have the wedding and reception. I was escorted down the aisle first in the procession and seated on the isle by Rob’s brother-in-law Jeff. Two young ring bearers and two little flower girls did their part just right. So cute! Father of the bride and mother of the bride walked Brianne down the aisle.

Snoopy is hanging on, but not much longer. His owner can't keep him, so Snoop needs a new home right away. He is a great cat, about 2 1/2-years old, neutered and current with shots. He’s been declawed, which means he’s strictly an indoor fellow, and that’s just fine with him so long as there’s a comfortable lap he can crawl into.

In between snoozing, Snoop is playful and super curious about everything..

Rocky is a young Heeler mix, about 10 months old, who is smart as a whip and would love to have a home where he can actually work. Herding kids or cattle or whatever that could make good use of his agility and energy. He is playful and needs lots of exercise, so would be best in an active family. He gets along well with other dogs, but especially likes people, though he's a little shy until he makes sure you’re OK. Current with shots, Rocky has microchip identification and is scheduled to be neutered.
