More talk of a county-wide hotel/motel room tax

editor@northcoastcitizen.com

BY JOE WRABEK

Cylvia Hayes, companion of Gov. John Kitzhaber and Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Lady, stopped at Garibaldi and Neah-Kah-Nie High School on a tour of the north Oregon coast on Thursday.

Hayes, who expressed her concern about Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high hunger rates, was on a mission to learn more about the Coho Salmon Project that just wrapped up its fourth year.

Hunger, said Hayes, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;so out of keepingâ&#x20AC;? with what she thinks a progressive state like Oregon should be.

The program, launched locally in 2009, involves the transporting of hatchery-produced Coho salmon at the end of their life cycle to Garibaldi where the meat is processed and canned for distribution to local food banks. In the first three years of the program, Manzanita residents Bill Campbell and Mike Ehlen, who helped get the Coho harvest off the ground, estimate that the program has accounted for 59,000 high-protein meals.

Hayes sees untreated hunger as a symptom of poverty and the need to address the root cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total economic development issue,â&#x20AC;? she said at her stop at the Tillamook Bay Boathouse in Garibaldi where the salmon and tuna provided by the Oregon Tuna Classic is processed.

While at the Boathouse, Hayes met up with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smiley Brothers,â&#x20AC;? the adopted name of the original foursome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Camp-

bell, Ehlen, Tillamook Bay Boathouse owner Darus Peake and ODFW salmon monitoring team leader Derek Wiley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who took an idea and made it a reality. Enamored with what she referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smiley Bother movement,â&#x20AC;? Hayes inquired, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I be a sister?â&#x20AC;?

Next stop for the First Lady was Neah-Kah-Nie High School where the task of designing labels for the tuna and salmon and adhering them to cans has become an annual student project as well. Visual arts students, under the direction of art instructor Steve Albrechtsen, designed the labels once again this year along with a poster commemorating the annual effort. This year, Honor Society students applied the labels to the

canned product. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no small task, this year the total number of cans of salmon and tuna was over 4,500, according to Campbell. In addition, 218 jack salmon fillets were provided to Nehalem Bay House and Kilchis House assisted living centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great to see this program replicated and create more jobs to go with it,â&#x20AC;? said Hayes following her fact-finding mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great example of creative entrepreneurialism.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Peake of the program heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been involved with since the get-go and processes the fish at his cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just takes good heart,â&#x20AC;? added fellow Smiley Brother Campbell.

NCRD, Food Roots receive Meyer Memorial Trust grants At the November program meeting, Meyer Memorial Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of trustees made two grants totaling nearly $64,000 to organizations in Tillamook County.

The North County Recreation District was awarded $50,000 to renovate and refurbish community facilities in Nehalem. Peter Nunn of the NCRD said the $50,000, along with an $8,000 grant from Tillamook PUD, will be used to update the wiring and lighting in the auditorium, and to replace the ceiling. This work is the first

step in what the NCRD hopes will be a full renovation of the facility.

Food Roots, in Tillamook, was awarded $13,976 for technical assistance to support community food system work. This grant was one of six that went to support organizations participating in MMT's Community Food Systems special focus program.

Meyer Memorial Trust is one of the largest private foundations in Oregon, with assets of approximately $671.5 million.

GARIBALDI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At least two proposals are circulating for a county-wide transient room tax, Mayor Suzanne McCarthy told the Garibaldi City Council at their meeting Nov. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a movement to put something on the ballot to repair county roads.â&#x20AC;?

One proposal, McCarthy said, calls for a 4-percent hotel/motel room tax that would be levied county-wide.

In the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven incorporated cities, that 4 percent would be on top of any local room tax a city had in place.

(Garibaldi already has an 8 percent room tax; with that, plus the 1 percent room tax the state levies, the total would rise to 13 percent.)

The other proposal, McCarthy said, would impose a county room tax of 10 percent, but the county would collect the whole 10 percent only in the unincorporated areas of the county. In the cities, the county would get only the difference between any local room tax and 10 percent. (In Garibaldi, where the city has an 8 percent transient room tax, the county would get 2 percent. In Manzanita, where the room tax is already 10 percent, the county would get nothing.)

There is a third proposal, hotelier Eugene Tish told the council. (Tish owns the Garibaldi House Inn.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;One that has something everyone can dislike.â&#x20AC;? There would be a 10 percent tax, but the operator (hotels and motels actually collect the tax) would get a credit for the amount he or she pays to a city up to a certain level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7 percent, say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pay 8 percent to the city, 10 percent to the county, and get 7 percent backâ&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

going to take a lot of meetings,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve a $40 million road problem, but it will make a difference.â&#x20AC;?

That 70 percent of room tax money would have to be dedicated to tourism promotion isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily bad, Tish suggested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would help to have a county tourism groupâ&#x20AC;? modeled after the one in Garibaldi, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tourism,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the number-one economic driver opportunity in Tillamook County. We have held it at bay for 150 years.â&#x20AC;?

At their Nov. 19 meeting, the Garibaldi City Council reviewed damage reports from the recent storm (the Coast Guard station had lost its roof, as had the Tillamook Bay Boathouse), and received a presentation from David McCall, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new solid waste outreach coordinator.

The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid waste (garbage) plan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bind the cities, McCall emphasized, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;it encompasses the whole waste shed, which includes the cities,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The council also decided (by consensus) to have their public hearing on the proposed zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments December 17, the date of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular December meeting. The amendments are the first major change to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront zoning since it was adopted in 1980. The amendments were approved by the city planning commission at a hearing in October; since the changes have to be enacted by ordinance, it entails a public hearing and action by the city council.

The only objections raised at the planning commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing concerned changes to the sign code, city manager John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The business community had con-

cernsâ&#x20AC;? about new provisions relating to temporary signs, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The objective (city) staff had is to not impose new regulations on temporary signs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The amendments also propose changes to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D-1 (downtown) zone with respect to parking, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said.

Eugene Tish, owner of the garibaldi House hotel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;would like us to go further, to increase flexibility,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also asking for a reduction in the D-1 zone.â&#x20AC;?

The Planning Commission wanted to consider Tishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposals in detail later on, he said. Councilor Roberta Bettis suggested it be a 3-way conversation that included the Garibaldi Urban Renewal Agency (GURA); â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the stuff in D-1 came from GURA,â&#x20AC;? she said.

SO LONG, SIRENS Tsunami warning system to be decommissioned at end of the month; some cities to keep their own sirens

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Monday, Dec. 10 was the last-ever test of the tsunami sirens in Tillamook County.

For more than seven years, the 31 sirens, located from Manzanita to Neskowin, have blared out at 1 p.m. on the second Monday of every month, triggered by a signal from the 911 center in Tillamook.

No more. The “trip-wire,” according to county emergency manager Gordon McCraw, is new rules from the Federal Communications commission requiring emergency sirens to use “narrow band” frequencies beginning Jan. 1, 2013. The sirens in Tillamook County, which are old, use wide-band technology. “They’ve been in place for 10 to 15 years, and they were old when we got ‘em,” McCraw said. “At

Steakhouse sign stays

The Rodeo Steakhouse and Grill gets to keep its big new sign.

The Tillamook City Planning Commission voted 3-2 Thursday night, Dec. 6, to grant the variance from sign-size restrictions that made the recently-painted sign on the business’ west wall illegal. The sign covers an estimated 472 square feet, larger than the maximum – 120 square feet – allowed by the city’s zoning ordinance.

“There has always been a history of a large sign on this building,” noted Dennis Wine, attorney for the Rodeo. Not only had the Rodeo’s predecessor, Cedar Bay, had a large sign on the same wall of the building, so had their predecessor, the Victory House. Wine and Rodeo co-owner Omar Viramontes displayed a painting of the Victory House, which had a large lighted sign rotating on a post in addition to the big sign on the side of the building.

Painting the new sign “wasn’t blatant disregard” of the city’s zoning code, Wine said.

“He just didn’t know.”

minimum, we’d have to replace the radios so they’d receive narrowband signals.”

An additional problem is “they quit making parts for these years back,” McCraw said. “We found somebody who could replace circuit board components, but he retired.”

No one does that work any more, McCraw said.

Woman accused of relations with minors NEHALEM – Anna Rose Welsh, 31, of Nehalem has been arrested for sex crimes involving at least three teenaged males, ages 15-16.

Welsh is the mother of three young children. Until recently she was the president of the board of directors of New Discoveries Preschool in Nehalem. She resigned her position Dec. 3.

According to investigators with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s ANNA WELSH Office, Welsh is accused of engaging in sex acts with at least one of the victims, and also in electronically sending and requesting pornographic images of the victims.

Welsh was arrested and charged with two counts of Using a Child in a Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct, one count of Sodomy 3, and three counts of Sex Abuse 3.

Locals return from Sandy recovery efforts

T

wo Red Cross volunteers from Tillamook County were on the front lines in the initial wave of disaster relief to areas in the Northeast hit by Hurricane Sandy – Lynda Holm from Rockaway Beach and Terry Kandle from Garibaldi returned this past weekend from three-week “tours of duty” in the stricken area.

Holm is on the Rockaway Beach Volunteer Fire Department; Kandle, a retired Portland Fire Bureau battalion chief, is on the Garibaldi City Council. Both have been Red Cross volunteers for several years.

“This is about my thirtieth disaster,” Kandle said, “but the first one that was in the winter.” He was assigned to drive an “ERV” (Emergency Response Vehicle), an ambulance chassis rigged up to serve hot meals, to New York. Every ERV in the country was sent to the disaster area, he said, including all five from Oregon. The trip took six days, he said. “We ran into a foot of snow 100 miles from New York City.”

Would-be bank robber sentenced

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

In a short court proceeding Friday, Dec. 7, Circuit Court Judge Jonathan Hill sentenced Darrin Joel Bobbitt, 43, to 16 months in state prison for the attempted robbery of Tillamook’s Wells Fargo Bank Nov. 16.

Bobbitt had been arrested Nov. 28 by Tillamook City Police. The attempted robbery had taken place just before 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, when a white male, later identified as Bobbitt, delivered a demand note DARRIN and bag to one of the tellers at BOBBITT the bank’s Fourth Street branch.

Bobbitt subsequently left the bank, never getting any money; he took the bag with him, but not the note. He was not been armed.

At Friday’s hearing – originally intended to be an arraignment – Tillamook County district attorney Bill Porter and defense attorney Dawn McIntosh presented a “negotiated settlement” for the judge’s approval. Bobbitt would plead guilty to seconddegree attempted robbery, and serve 16 months in prison (with 36 months post-prison supervision).

Trees make green for museum

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

The Ninth Annual Festival of Trees celebration took place Dec. 7 at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. It was a festive affair. The museum was once again filled with gorgeous trees and arrangements decorated and donated by generous and talented local people.

Eighty-five people attended the gala event, where wine and elegant finger foods were served, and the trees and arrangements were sold by silent auction to benefit the museum. Pacific Restaurant did the catering, and also decorated a spectacular “Birds of a AT LEFT: Kathleen Confer (in green) and Wanda Hurliman (in red) in Victorian era garb in front of the “Victorian Christmas” tree Hurliman decorated.

Feather” tree featuring peacocks and pheasants.

Attending the Festival of Trees has become an annual event for the community, a way to mark the beginning of the holiday season, and to purchase gorgeous holiday decorations, up to and including towering Christmas trees artfully designed.

There were traditional trees and themed trees, such as the Have a Merry Doggone Christmas tree, sponsored by Tillamook Bowling Lanes. Mayor Suzanne Weber and Patty Brown decorated a stunning “Splendor of the Forest” tree, sponsored by Baertlein and Phegley.

There was a tabletop “Candyland Christmas” tree that looked just like the classic children’s board game, lovely wreaths and professional arrangements and an extravagantly beautiful “Victorian Christmas” tree, decorated by Wanda Hurliman, sponsored by

the Blue Moon Café and Tony Veltri Insurance. Hurliman and her friend, Kathleen Confer, graced the event in Victorian era gowns and hats to match the period tree.

The special fundraiser raised more than $10,000 for the museum. Proceeds will go toward installation of new oak flooring in the Northwest and main galleries.

“It is a miracle to me,” said museum Director, Gary Albright. “This community is just wonderful. About half of the $10,000 we raised came from the auction. The other half people just gave us. We had people come in and hand us $5, and we had people come in and hand us $1,000. Some companies provided corporate matches. It’s really just amazing.”

The museum will be closed the last week in February and the first week in March for installation of the new floors. Turn to page B8 for more Festival of Trees photos.

L

ast week we ran an obituary for Webster, the beloved Rainy Day Books cat, at the request of his owner. Webster lived in the store for 18 years. He was a downtown Tillamook character, he added to the charm of the community and he had many friends.

Some folks were upset about Webster’s obituary. We heard about it in writing and in person; one of my friends even jumped me about it, “I have a bone to pick with you!” he said, which told me that it struck a deep chord.

I apologize if Webster’s obituary offended people. The last thing we want to do is add to anyone’s grief.

The reverse side of the coin is that we also heard from people who appreciated reading about Webster, because they had enjoyed visiting him at the bookstore for years.

The truth is that it was a new

In the future, we will Mary Faith Bell be happy to run pet memoEditor rials as paid display advertising, perhaps on the same page as obits, but separate from them.

We are a community and a nation of pet lovers. We consider our pets family members, we love them and we grieve their loss. It is my hope that publishing a pet memorial, sharing the memory and loss of a beloved pet in a community forum will help in the grieving process.

Perhaps it will help me. The first such paid pet memorial is for my dog Wolf, who died last week.

A job well done by TCGH and employees award, and this is the fifth consecutive year that our agency has been honored.

I

have had the privilege of being on the Civic Advisory Board (CAB) for Tillamook County General Hospital (TCGH) for the last eight years. This group of community members meets every other month with the hospital’s Administrative team. We review the finances, new initiatives, and quality scores as well as advise the administrators on hospital matters.

The Tillamook County General Hospital has recently received some very good information that I want to share with you regarding three quality awards received in recent months:

Quality Award 1 The Joint Commission “TopPerformer” for Key Quality Measures (2011) Recognized for excellence in care measures for pneumonia and surgical care, TCGH is one of 3,376 hospitals nationwide and one of five hospitals in Oregon to earn this distinction. The Joint Commission is a national accrediting agency for hospitals.

Quality Award 2 A Top Agency of the 2012 Home Care EliteTM. With this award, Adventist Health’s Tillamook Home Health agency was recognized in the top 25% of homecare agency’s nationwide. One of only ten Oregon agencies received this

Quality Award 3 Top 100 Critical Tillamook County Access HosCommissioner pital (2011) from the National Rural Health Association.

This award, which measures 56 areas of performance, recognizes TCGH’s overall quality and fiscal strength. Tillamook is one of 1,327 critical access hospitals nationwide. Out of the 1,327 hospitals our hospital was in the top one hundred!

Our County can take great pride in knowing that our local health care system is being recognized nationwide for its quality. In addition, TCGH patients rate their nurses as “excellent” on satisfaction surveys, placing them in the top 25% nationwide on the National Research Corporation survey results.

Each day the staff at the hospital, its ambulance service and clinics, along with the home health team, are working to provide you with high quality, patient-centered care that we can all be proud of. I say ‘Well Done’ to the Tillamook County Hospital and employees!

READERS’ OPEN FORUM Thank you, PUD crew Now wasn’t that convenient!

The power went off in the a.m. of December 4 when I was sleeping under the covers. Then, the power went on in time for my first cup of coffee.

Thank you PUD crew for taking care of us out here in Cape Meares.

Meals For Seniors wants to feed you Meals for Seniors (MFS) are a 503 1C non-profit charitable organization based in Rockaway Beach. We operate out of St. Mary's Catholic Church in their dining hall.

We serve hot lunches three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We also deliver hot lunches and frozen dinners to the homebound. Our aim is twofold: first we try to ensure that seniors will have one hot nutritious meal each day, and last but not least we provide a genial worry-free location which ensures that the seniors can dine with their peers. We serve any and all seniors in the area, vacation drop-ins, the occasional hitchhiker, and visiting relatives of our seniors.

Unfortunately many of our

citizens are unaware of our presence, too proud to come, or harbor some misconceptions about us. Some may think we are too expensive, we request a donation of four dollars for the meal. If you can't pay, you still get served. You won't be turned away!

Perhaps you don't consider yourself old enough; if you consider yourself a senior, then you are eligible. We deliver to one gentleman in another city that is homebound. He is definitely not old enough, but we feel he deserves our services.

And he is most appreciative!

Perhaps you think you are too well off financially, not so; perhaps the friendly atmosphere is a good reason for you to join us for lunch. Our seniors really look forward to eating lunch with people of their own age. Eating alone at home just isn’t as much fun.

Some would think the program is just for Catholics or members of St. Mary’s congregation; again, not so. It is for everyone, regardless of religion, race, sex, or politics.

Please don't ever be too proud to join us and ask for a little help. That's why we are here. We realize that these days everybody's financial situation is shaky. We are here to help.

If you are homebound and do not have a way to get to our meal site, remember this, we

deliver, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And perhaps if you wanted to attend our meal site, you could come with a neighbor or friend. We are here with the blessing of St. Mary’s, they support our efforts 100 percent, they know what we are trying to accomplish. Now all we need is you here enjoying yourself over a hot nutritious meal. Feel free to join us at 11:30 Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.

Care for the homeless Feeding the homeless should be our main focus for raising the community. If we are able to provide food and shelter for some of the homeless people in Tillamook, we would be able to create a stronger community.

Having places for the homeless to have something to eat and a place to get out of the cold weather is a must-have to raise our community.

One of the ways Tillamook helps the homeless is by our local churches. One of our churches opens up every Saturday to give people that one place where they can get a warm meal and and a nice place to stay for a couple of hours. Another thing we do is in the summer we have a program that gives a meal to

people.

In Tillamook we have lots of periods of time where we have a lot of rain and some of the churches give their church away so the homeless can have a roof over their heads for the night.

These places and churches have helped Tillamook so much and I think we need more of these places.

Some people might think that the homeless people out on the streets chose to be out there and that they deserve to be there. But they might not want to be out there. People are people and they deserve to be treated the same.

That is why we need to help the homeless in our community.

Puzzled I just don't understand what all the uproar is about regarding same sex marriage. How does allowing gays the legal rights & responsibilities of marriage take away anything from straights?

Civil unions, wills, living wills etc do not provide all the legal protections that a single marriage certificate extends to a spouse and any children of the union. Inheritance taxes are much higher for partners than for spouses. Pensions, social security benefits, disability benefits are

The real work is already here L

awn signs have been picked up or blown away. The radio ads have stopped. And mailboxes are filling with holiday catalogs instead of candidate brochures.

Everyone is glad the election is over. On a personal note, I am relieved to no longer see my face in trash-bins at the Post Office.

For me, the real work starts now. I will be representing an area stretching from Waldport to Tillamook and inland to Sheridan. It is a large district blessed with natural beauty and wonderful people. I am proud to have been elected, humbled by your trust, and ready for the responsibility. I am more grateful than I can say.

Southern Tillamook County has been well represented by Debbie Boone. But the county now has two representatives.

I’ll be working hard to reach out to communities and to people in this new district. Fortunately, I live just a few minutes away at the north edge of Lincoln County.

Those Portland representatives with a district they can see from their own doorstep have no idea. I now represent eight cities, portions of four counties, two tribes, a Federal penitentiary and 100 miles of beach.

We are a diverse collection of communities and not everyone here will always agree with me.

I respect those with opposing views and will actively seek out common ground wherever I can

find it. I believe that working together, we can make things better.

Oregonians are tired of politicians who David Gombert see everyState Representative thing through a partisan filter. We all know that no person, group, or political party has a monopoly on the truth. Oregonians have a right to expect their elected officials to work together, even when they disagree, to achieve meaningful results. And twenty-five years of marriage has taught me that compromising isn't losing...

The new legislative session will convene in January. My priorities as a legislator are the same as those I talked about as a candidate: education, job creation, and health care. These are broad issues but there are finite and specific programs which can help address each.

• We have struggled to fund K-12 education. Our kids and grand-kids deserve the best education we can provide! And we can do better to support community colleges where funding has been on the decline. I intend to be an advocate for rural community colleges, two of which are in this district.

• In a tourist based and production economy, transportation

is critical. We need to focus on the highway and rail systems that bring customers to the coast, and transport fish, timber, and dairy products to market.

• I want to be a champion of small businesses. I understand that small businesses create most new jobs in this region.

And I also understand how small business can be burdened by a plethora of special taxes, fees, and regulations. (Our company was named Business of the Year in Lincoln City for 2012.)

• The availability, affordability and quality of health care are particularly important outside Oregon’s metropolitan population centers. Here on the Coast, even people with health insurance often can’t afford to use it because of high deductibles. And we need to focus on helping keep seniors safe, healthy, and secure in their own homes.

• There is a delicate balance here between preserving our magnificent environment, and creating or maintaining jobs.

Coastal legislators have taken a lead in working to protect our forests, oceans, parks, and waters, and also our people and our local industries.

I’m a small business guy in a small business district. By that I mean that most people here either work for or retired from smaller businesses in tourism, farming, fishing, dairy, forestry or health care. The decisions I make will each be tempered by my small business experience.

How will businesses and employees of businesses like mine be affected? How will communities like mine be affected? How will families like mine be affected?

Here on the Coast, we face big issues. But we also need to be aware of small ones. Regulations affecting beach use or fireworks; rules designed for large businesses that burden smaller ones; power outages and communication black-outs; beach clean-up. A legislator from the Coast needs to stay on top of small issues so they don't become big problems.

For the past six years, the Central Coast has been well represented by Jean Cowan. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her lifetime of service and good work. I’ll have to work hard to earn the respect and the effectives she has exercised on our behalf.

I also want to thank my former opponent, Jerome Grant. In a year characterized by negativity and attack politics, we never once exchanged a disparaging word. I shared my ideas; he shared his. And then the voters made their decisions.

In the next few days, I’ll be assigned to committees, get an office, finalize staff, and complete local and Salem phone numbers. Angie Allbee will be working as my Chief-of-Staff and district liaison. I welcome visits in the Capitol and comments on legislation or issues.

Thank you so much for the honor of representing you.

So, back to my question how does allowing gays to legally wed harm straights?

Continued from Page A4 being sold. In coastal communities the air pollution from wood stoves is minimal, certainly during stormy weather.

I would have no objection to regulations that restrict wood burning for all stoves and fireplaces when air pollution gets high enough to warrant it. But the approach to require the destruction of a perfectly good wood stove merely because you sell your house is unjustified and certainly does not enhance emergency preparedness. The law needs to be changed.

Each year all the women in our family spend Thanksgiving weekend at the beach to write our Christmas cards. We do this on Black Friday after shopping at Tillamook Fred Meyer. On Saturday we drive south on Hwy 101 and always come back to Rockaway Beach at night after dark.

We would like to thank the family that puts up such a beautiful Christmas light display on Hwy 101, about one mile south of Camp 101. We consider stopping and admiring those lights one of our traditions. They have never failed to be lit up and we just wanted to thank them and let them know how much we enjoy their Christmas display.

Know the wood stove law I recently sold my house in Tillamook County. A problem occurred which all residents of Oregon who have a house with a wood stove should be aware.

Oregon law, since 2011 requires that whenever a home with a wood stove is sold, the wood stove must be removed and destroyed first. There are two exceptions, one is if the buyer agrees to buy it and further agrees to remove and destroy it within sixty days of the sale, the stove can be sold with the house. A second exception is if the stove is a pellet stove and meets the current environmental requirements then it is OK. These requirements are very onerous because they only apply when you are selling your house so you are not in a position to fight it lest you mess up your sale. They also do not provide for a viable option for having a wood stove available during our relatively frequent power outages. (A pellet stove requires electricity).

The law doesn't make much sense from an environmental standpoint since it does not affect fireplaces at all (yet) or wood stoves in houses that are not

United Way supports ARC The Arc of Tillamook County, an agency supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (formerly known as TARC), has long been an active member of the Tillamook County United Way. Every year we rely on funds from United Way to add to the contribution we make to the Multi-Modular Assessment program. This early screening program has been critical in detecting problems in generations of Tillamook County pre-school children allowing early intervention at a time when it is most likely to be effective. Any number of studies have shown that a dollar spent on early intervention saves approximately five dollars in support costs if the problem is not addressed until the child is older.

The Multi-Modular examination is largely being supported through efforts by volunteers

Perhaps thanks are due to those behind the SOS (Save Our Sirens) movement in Tillamook County for continuing the discussion of tsunami preparedness. It is flattering to have our county the subject of an article in the New York Times, but the reporter misstepped in a few areas, particularly in the second paragraph where he infers our emergency managers may be in the group who deny the reality of a local, disastrous earthquake and tsunami. The decision to remove the sirens was made after much thought and discussion, and improves emergency response.

Tillamook’s emergency responders and elected officials are tuned into the need to be prepared.

Sirens may be useful in limited areas such as the Nehalem spit, but the coordinated county siren system is a distraction from more effective means of notification and communication. In fact, in today’s world, the sirens can send a confusing message that could put lives at risk. One possibility is that the next need for tsunami warning could be years, or decades in the future. Meanwhile, our antique sirens become more and more outdated and decrepit.

The money saved by eliminating the sirens san be better spent on educating our residents and visitors to the need to be prepared, and setting up a culture of preparedness that will protect future generations. Sometimes lost in the discussion is that the earthquake that precedes and causes the tsunami will affect everyone in the county, not just those of us living near and in the inundation zone. So thanks to SOS for keeping, in a misguided way, the discussion alive!

OBITUARIES John Emil Harris John Emil Harris was born in Denver, Colorado on August 31, 1926 to John and Sarah (Jackson) Harris.

John passed away in Portland, Oregon on December JOHN EMIL 7, 2012 at HARRIS the age of 86.

He grew up as one of fourteen siblings in Colorado and graduated from high school in Denver. After his schooling John worked as a cowboy on a farm before moving to Idaho where he drove a long haul truck. John moved to Garibaldi, Oregon in 1952, working for the Garibaldi plywood mill for over 28 years. He was united in marriage on November 9, 1973 to Dorothy Randall. Together they enjoyed elk hunting, bird hunting, and fishing. John was a past president of the Tillamook Eagles Lodge; he was also a member of the Tillamook Pioneer Association, and the Tillamook Anglers.

He was preceded in death by a daughter Judy, and by nine siblings. He leaves behind to honor his life his loving family, wife, Dorothy Harris of Garibaldi, children, Donna Harris of Alaska, John Harris Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buckyâ&#x20AC;? of Alaska, Donald Harris of Alaska, Patricia Scudder and husband Lloyd of Tillamook, and stepchildren, Lyle Wilcox and wife Lori of Garibaldi, and Raymond Wilcox and wife Debbie of Pilot Rock.

John Stanley Harlan John Stanley Harlan passed away peacefully Tuesday afternoon, December 4, 2012, in the presence of his wife of 45 years, Sarah, after a short battle with cancer. He was 75. He was born in Compton, CA, on October 22, 1937, joinJOHN ing a brothHARLAN er, Richard, and a sister, Carol.

John attended local Compton, CA schools, Compton Junior College, and California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA. He had a life-long love of instrumental music, playing the pipe organ, piano, oboe and clarinet in school bands and orchestras, and was student band conductor his senior year at Cal Poly.

John was active in Boy Scouts, attaining Eagle Scout rank and represented the Los Angeles Boy Scouts at Philmont Scout Ranch near

Cimarron, New Mexico, a Boy Scout National High Adventure Base with backpacking and wilderness tests.

He also served as Assistant Scoutmaster for Scout camping trips and as a judge at local Scout Jamboree events.

He also served eight years in the United States Navy Reserve.

John graduated from Cal Poly in 1961 with a physical science degree, and went to work at Rocketdyne as a test engineer on the F1 and J2 engines that powered the Saturn rocket to the moon in 1969. Thereafter he worked briefly for Litton Industries on gyroscopes, and then earned a California life teaching degree for high school physics, chemistry and algebra, planning to move to the Pacific Northwest and teach there.

Vocal music as well as instrumental music was also a part of Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. He joined the Van Nuys, CA, First Methodist Church and sang baritone in its choir, where he met Sarah, who sang alto. Their first date was to a choir party. They married on November 18, 1967 and honeymooned in Hawaii, first on Oahu where John had spent a summer when in college, working for Lockheed tracking satellites, then on the Big Island and Kauai. After returning home, John adopted Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Debbie.

The family moved to Oregon in 1973 and John began teaching physics at Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland, whose staff was excited about Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aerospace background. John taught physics there for 25 years, and was Science Department Chair for the last 10 years. His science teams twice won at the State level in Olympics of the Mind competitions and went to the National Competitions in Ohio and Maryland.

Another of Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests was designing residential floor plans, and he always included a spiral staircase.

In 1983 he and Sarah bought an ocean front lot on Radar Road on the Oregon Coast, and John designed his beach house with a spiral staircase. He hired an architect and a registered engineer to critique his floor plan and no changes were needed.

John did all the beautiful wood ceilings, wood moldings, wood windowsills and backsplashes and everything else that could be built of wood. It was easy to know when John was working with wood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he whistled favorite tunes. He was a craftsman, and became the willing handyman for neighbors.

An unusual feature of both houses was Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gscale train collection. He laid his train tracks on the living

room and dining room floors, on wooden track beds he made. Visitors had to step carefully, and did so.

Instrumental music entered Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life again when he and Sarah joined the Portland Rose Festival One More Time Around Again Marching Band in 1991, and its spin-off band, the Get a Life Band, where John played clarinet (the oboe reed being too fragile for a marching band) and Sarah played flute. In 2001 they also joined a formal â&#x20AC;&#x153;sit-downâ&#x20AC;? concert band, the Lake Oswego Millennium Concert Band.

John retired from teaching in 1998 and was busier than ever. He was a classic car aficionado, and over his lifetime owned a blue 1947 Chevy Fleetline Fastback and two Porsches, both red with black interior. His first Porsche was stolen and trashed. His second Porsche was a 1969 Porsche 911T, bought new, which he enjoyed for 43 years until he sold it in 2012. It was pristine, inside and out. The buyer sold it to a London museum, where it is now on display.

John enjoyed racquetball, squash, and gym workouts, and once climbed Mt. Whitney, with friends. John and Sarah enjoyed downhill skiing, white water rafting, canoeing, and cruising to Alaska, the Panama Canal, and New Zealand. John loved birds, especially hummingbirds, and kept many feeders. One of the last things he said to Sarah before he passed away, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had fun.â&#x20AC;?

Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral service will be December 15 at the First Presbyterian Church at 12th and Alder Streets, Portland.

Viewing will be from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., after which the casket will be closed for the 11:00 a.m. service, followed by a reception at the church and a private burial.

John is survived by his wife Sarah, his daughter Debbie (Greg), his two granddaughters Tori and Libby, several nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Ruthe M. Wright Ruthe M. Wright , 86, of Nehalem passed away December 3, 2012. Services will be held at Evergreen Memorial Park, in Vancouver, WA at 10 a.m. December 15, 2012.

Give the gift of books for loved ones this Christmas

BY NANCY WHITEHEAD for the Headlight Herald

A recent study (2007, University of Nevada and UCLA) found that having books in the home was the single most important predictor of school success in 27 countries around the world, including the US. Reading (and being read to) at home was a more important predictor of a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational success than parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; occupation or economic status. The winter holiday season is a great time to incorporate reading into the lives of children. Here are some fun ways to do this: Start a family tradition of holiday reading. Each year when our sons were young we bought them a book about Christmas or a book about the spirit of the holiday - about giving and good deeds. On December 1st, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get out the Holiday Book Box and read one of these stories each night until the 25th. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave out older children and adults - everyone enjoys The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

by Barbara Robinson, O. Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Gift of the Magi, and Dylan Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas in Wales. Our local libraries are great resources to support this tradition.

Give your child books for Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years. In my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family this meant a short stack of unwrapped books beside each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas stocking and mom and dad could sleep in! Giving books as presents shows your child that you value reading. Kids appreciate books about their favorite subjects, new books by favorite authors, new books in a series theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into, and -- surprises!

Books for the youngest children will be read many times; they are an excellent investment.

Make a child a personalized book. Use photos of the important people (and pets?) in their lives to make a sturdy book for a pre-schooler. Text can be simply the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name by their photo, or a short sentence. Grandmas and aunts into scrap booking and card making might love this project.

Give books to your community. New or gently used books are welcome donations

Wolf came to our house in 2003, young and wild and starving.

Someone probably dumped him on our remote rural road, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been chasing cars and trucks for weeks.

He was lean and rangy and his head and feet WOLF were way too big for his emaciated frame. My son, who was six at the time, saw him first. Carl ran up the driveway toward our house, whitefaced with terror, crying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolf! Wolf!â&#x20AC;?

The name stuck. I tried to chase him off and he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go. I watched him stalk a bird, leap into the air, knock the bird down and devour it. I took pity on him and fed him, and he never left. I fell in love with him, and he with me.

Wolf was smart and good-natured and he loved me like crazy. We spent hundreds of hours hiking together, camping, roaming the hills above our house, exploring the forest, following elk trails and playing in the creek. He was good company. He smiled, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;talkedâ&#x20AC;? to me, he made me laugh.

If I were more like my dog, I would be a better person.

He was loving, joyful, enthusiastic, patient, and lived fully in the moment. He did not have any of the characteristics I dislike in my species: he was never resentful, dishonest, mean or passive aggressive. He did not feel sorry for himself, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moody and he never snapped in anger.

He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect. He was extremely stinky and he compulsively chased everything that moved. But whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect?

Last Wednesday I took Wolf to the vet for what I thought was a bad tooth. It turned out to be aggressive bone cancer in his jaw. I have had dogs all my life. I love dogs in general, and I think that they make us better people. Wolf was the best dog Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had.

SIGN:

SIRENS:

Continued from Page A3

Earlier sign codes in Tillamook allowed larger signs, city planner David Mattison told the Planning Commission. When the Town Center Plan was written in 2003, Mattison said, “they wanted smaller signs.”

Existing big signs like Cedar Bay’s became “non-conforming uses,” okay as long as they didn’t change. The Cedar Bay sign was painted over five years ago, and a new sign didn’t go up until this year. “He could have repainted within 12 months and been okay,” planning commissioner Aaron Palter commented.

Mattison noted in his staff report that the Rodeo sign covered about the same area – proportionately – as many other downtown businesses’ signs; the wall the sign is on is just larger. (“Our ordinance unfortunately doesn’t say anything about proportionality,” Palter noted. “It says square footage.”)

ODOT’s redesign of the Highway 101-Highway 6 intersection will force the Rodeo to relocate or remove signs on two other walls of the building, Mattison said, causing the “hardship” which is one of the grounds for granting a variance.

Most of the 22 people in the audience were there for the Rodeo sign hearing, one of three hearings on the Planning Commission’s agenda that night; however, only a few spoke. All were supportive of the sign – “It’s characteristically positive,” Gary Mann suggested – including those who claimed to be neutral. “This (the sign) didn’t happen overnight – it took weeks,” noted Linnea Burden, whose Burden’s Towing is less than a block away. “Someone from the city should have come over.”

“The city operates on a complaint-driven process,” city councilor Doug Henson advised. “I hate it. This could have been corrected without wasting a ton of time and effort.

(But) we had to wait till somebody complained.”

“I wonder who complained,” planning commissioner Nick Hahn said. No one testified in opposition to the variance, and all the written statements received were positive, Mattison said. “There are still comments pouring in,” he said.

The vote whether to approve the variance ended up a tie, with commissioners Ray Jacobs and Tamra Jacobs voting in favor, and Hahn and Palter voting no. Both Hahn and Palter noted that owner Viramontes had created the problem the variance was intended to solve, by painting the sign first. “This is a self-created problem,” Palter said. Planning commission chair Jan Stevens broke the tie, voting in favor of granting the variance. “I think all our rules and design standards need work,” she said.

Once signed by the Planning commission chair, the “order” granting the Rodeo’s sign variance can be appealed to the Tillamook City Council within ten days – though anyone appealing has to pay a fee equal

Her bail is set at $100,000 full cash on two counts (Measure 11 crimes), and $19,000 for other four counts, (she could post 10 percent of $19,000, or $1,900).

Welsh was last in the news in 2011, when she placed second in the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco.

Welsh had recently launched a modeling career. From the website modelmayhem, Welsh’s profile: “My name is Anna I am an athlete and beginning fitness model.

to what Viramontes paid when he applied. If no one appeals, Viramontes can get his sign permit – for a one-time fee of $100.

The Tillamook City Planning Commission had two other hearings at their 4-hour meeting. One addressed a proposed conditional use for a 7-foot by 18-foot trailer with enclosed propane-powered barbecue at 3504 Third St., next to Franz Bakery, site of a former boxing arena. (The boxing arena building is still there, but won’t be used, owner Don Decambra said.)

The “Kona’s Hawaiian Barbecue” application had been before the Planning commission in June, but had been postponed because the city needed more information, planner Mattison said – specifically, the number of parking places and where they would be located.

The Planning Commission approved the conditional use unanimously, but with a requirement that the parking lot be paved “prior to commencement of business.” As with the Rodeo sign variance, the Planning Commission’s “order,” once signed, can be appealed to the City Council within ten days, upon payment of a fee.

The Planning Commission’s third – and last – hearing concerned the draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which was to go to the City Council for adoption following review by the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Tamra Jacobs complained several times that a dog park had been left out of the plan, after 145 people had petitioned the city to include one; the Planning Commission ultimately voted to include a provision for a dog park “to the

extent financially feasible.”

Planning commission members questioned whether there had been sufficient outreach to the public, after one audience member commented he had only heard about the parks plan three weeks ago, and notices appeared to have been published only in English, despite Tillamook having a sizable Hispanic population. “I’m concerned we haven’t heard from all competing interests,” chair Stewart said.

“I don’t think it’s ready for final action,” Palter told the Planning Commission. However, “if we don’t do something tonight, it takes another month,” he said. At least one of the parks grants R.A.R.E. intern Terra Wilcoxson was hired to apply for is due in January.

“The rush has been ‘I’m here for a year, let’s get this done,’” Wilcoxson said. “Having this adopted is going to help me find funding,” she said.

Palter proposed – and the Planning Commission endorsed – recommending adoption of the Parks Plan, but having staff (Mattison and Wilcoxson) include “language capturing the intent of our discussion here” and specifically including provisions relating to “certain sports” (soccer and baseball, mentioned during the hearing) – and the dog park.

At the end of the meeting, Palter announced his resignation from the Planning Commission, citing a trend toward lengthy and exhausting meetings. (Thursday night’s meeting lasted four hours.) “I can’t put myself through this any longer,” Palter said. “I like you guys, but I can’t keep going around and around like this.”

The county itself actually owns only six of the 31 sirens, county radio technician Michael Soots said. Those are the sirens at Neskowin, Cape Kiwanda, Cape Meares, Barview Jetty Park, Nedonna Beach, and in Neahkahnie (on Beach Ave.) The other 25 sirens are owned by city governments or neighborhood associations, or are privately owned, McCraw said.

What those other owners do with their sirens after Jan. 1 is up to them, but the county won’t be sending out radio signals to the sirens any more.

The county, which has historically helped with maintenance (and maintenance costs) for some of the non-county-owned sirens, won’t be doing that any more after Jan. 1, Soots said. “The only assistance we will be providing after Jan. 1 is removal.” Siren owners aren’t required to remove them, he said. “They’re very handy if you think you have a reason for them.” If the sirens are going to be radio-triggered, however, “you need to change out the radio so it runs on a different signal.”

Some of the cities, which own their own sirens are keeping their sirens.

“The City of Rockaway Beach will be keeping one tsunami siren active,” city emergency management director Charlie Downey said. The city uses the siren for fire department call-outs and the “noon whistle,” and had already upgraded the unit to meet the FCC’s narrow-band requirements before the county decided to decommission the sirens. “The city has the capa-

bility to activate and cancel the siren as we need to with no outside assistance,” Downey said.

The city of Garibaldi will also keep its siren, Fire Chief Jay Marugg said. Garibaldi’s siren is on the roof of the fire hall, which has generator power, and the siren can be triggered manually.

A decommissioning plan for the county’s sirens – and any other siren owners that want to participate – is being prepared by Soots, and should be done by May 2013.

To replace the sirens, Tillamook County has “an array” of warning systems, McCraw said – the Civil Air Patrol planes, reverse 911, NOAA weather radios, TV and radio, physically visiting the beach to warn people, and more. When the Japanese tsunami happened in March 2011, a lot of folks got notice from friends and relatives outside the area long before any local warning systems were activated, McCraw said. “Back when the sirens were installed, the world was bigger than it is now,” he suggested.

Back then, there wasn’t any distinction between “local” and “distant” tsunamis, he said – a distinction considered important today. The warning of a local tsunami is going to be “3 to 5 minutes of the worst ground shaking you’ve ever experienced in your life,” McCraw said. With distant tsunamis, “you have up to 4 hours to do anything you need to do.

“We were able to handle that in March (2011),” McCraw said. “We should be able to do it in the future.”

ROBBER:

Continued from Page A3

The prosecution could have pressed for conviction at trial on more serious charges, but it would have taken a lot longer, and conviction wouldn’t have been certain, Porter said. “This is a classic negotiation in which the state acknowledges the weaknesses in its case,” he said.

Defense attorney McIntosh agreed. “There’s a videotape of the crime, but there’s not enough to completely identify my client,” McIntosh said. “The robbery wasn’t a complete theft,” she said, because no money was actually taken, and Bobbitt wasn’t armed – though he pretended to be. “Mr. Bobbitt is under no pressure to do this,” McIntosh said.

When asked by the judge, Bobbitt confirmed he had indeed agreed to the settlement terms. The victim – the bank teller who’d been confronted by Bobbitt in the attempted robbery – had also been notified of the settlement deal, Porter said.

“She’s in support,” he said.

“She’s not interested in coming to court.”

Porter suggested Bobbitt’s robbery attempt was “an act of desperation.” Since coming here from California, he’d had no job, no income, and had been couch-surfing with friends. “He had no weapon, no explosive devices,” Porter said. “He just walked in, in classic bank-robber mode.”

One of the customers in the bank had a baby with her, and that appeared to have changed Bobbitt’s mind about the robbery, Porter said. “He abandoned it (the robbery) and walked out at that point, leaving the note.”

After he finishes his prison term in Oregon, Bobbitt will likely be extradited to California, where he’s wanted for parole violation. The state of California, which says Bobbitt is a “wanted fugitive,” knows about Bobbitt’s arrest in Oregon, Porter said.

McIntosh requested “costs”

be waived – a frequent request when defendants have no money – but Judge Hill balked, noting that Bobbitt had incurred a bill for $1,000 for his courtappointed attorney, as well as the requisite fine and state assessments.

“You’ll be able to work at some point in time,” the judge suggested. The state Department of Revenue will be waiting, he said.

Tillamook City Council talks storm water

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

At Monday, Dec. 3’s City Council meeting, Mayor Suzanne Weber proclaimed Dec. 6 “Civil Air Patrol Day,” honoring the men and women who serve and have served in the organization. Tillamook County has an active Civil Air Patrol chapter, and Commander Mike Walsh was on hand with two of his cadets, Max Norris and Arlo Bannan, to receive the proclamation. 2012 is the 71st anniversary of the Civil Air Patrol.

The Tillamook City Council held a public hearing on stormwater systems development charges (SDCs). SDCs, intended to pay for public works improvements required by growth, are charged to new construction that is going to put additional “load” on those systems. The city doesn’t currently charge SDCs for stormwater, city manager Paul Wyntergreen told the council.

The stormwater SDC recommended by consultant John Giarducci is $1,293 for each “equivalent service unit,” or ESU – 2,500 square feet of “impervious surface,” roughly the

“You don’t know when you leave where you’re going to end up,” Kandle said. He ended up in Rockaway, New York – Rockaway Beach’s “sister city” – and the adjacent community of Breezy Point, where 112 homes burned following the hurricane. There were no roads in Breezy Point, he said – the gated community had central parking lots with only walkways going to the houses, making it impossible for fire trucks even to get in.

Rockaway and Coney Island, though poor communities, seemed to have fared better, Kandle said. “Larger, more substantial buildings.

Houses weren’t picked up off their foundations.” Still, “it’s a mess,” he said. “We’re just scratching the surface.”

When he left to return to Oregon, street lights were beginning to be restored, but there was still no power to homes. “Every one of those houses has to be inspected,” he said.

Kandle’s primary job was delivering hot meals – 250 at a time – sometimes cruising the streets to find people in need of food, sometimes setting up in fixed locations to feed crowds.

The food was prepared by four Southern Baptist kitchens. A number of organizations sent relief crews to the area, he said. His partner in the ERV was a Red Cross volunteer from Louisiana.

Lynda Holm had been flown to Philadelphia, then traveled by rental car with other Red Cross volunteers

to New Jersey. “The storm is your heads-up,” she said.

“An e-mail goes out asking if you’re available, and you get a phone call asking if you can leave in 24 hours.”

Holm drove a big truck, delivering relief supplies mostly around New Jersey and Staten Island in New York City. She did get to Rockaway, New York – “I took supplies there on a day off.”

Much of her work was what the Red Cross calls “search and serve” – finding places that can become distribution sites, and people who can run them. “We get into town, and ask people, ‘Is there a church? Fire department? Police department?’ And ask them ‘Will you be a Red Cross spontaneous partner?’ And every day, we’d bring them more supplies.”

Holm worked with Red Cross volunteers from Mexico, Canada, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. “Italy was showing up when I left,” she said. She noted criticism that relief efforts had been slow.

“What takes time is we don’t live there,” she said. “It

cation to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

In other business, the Tillamook City Council: • Approved 3-hour parking limits at Sue H. Elmore Park. “There’s a lot of long-term parking there,” Wyntergreen told the council. “Spaces have been taken all day.” The park is just one block from downtown Tillamook’s Parking District, where parking by employers and employees is prohibited.

• Approved temporary signs on Main and Pacific Avenues notifying drivers of the RV parking spaces available in the “Urban Renewal” lot at First and Ivy. Though a time limit of May through September was discussed, the council ultimately decided to leave timing up to the city’s public works department. “I think we need a temporary sign saying ‘The other sign blew over there,’” councilor John Sandusky suggested.

• Appointed Steve Fladstol, a project manager for the Tillamook County Creamery Association, to the city planning commission. The position had been vacant for a long time, Mayor Weber said.

Are there lessons for this area in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath? Both Holm and Kandle had suggestions.

“You need more than three days’ worth of stuff,” Holm suggested. When the long-predicted tsunami finally hits, relief will be a long time coming, she said. “If you can be prepared for more (than three days), why wouldn’t you do it? And actually do it instead of just talking about it,” she said.

“Don’t feel silly or overcautious. Being prepared is not being paranoid.”

“We’re trying to be proactive in Garibaldi,” Kandle said. The emergency storage shed the Neah-Kah-Nie construction trades class is building will be a “small aid,” he said, “but it’s better than having nothing. It’s really hard to put a whole bunch of money aside that you might or might not need.”

TOTAL OF 6 BURGLARIES REPORTED

The rash of Tillamook business break-ins has apparently topped out at six. Last week, the Headlight Herald reported that La Tea Da, Jane’s Fabric Patch and Recycle Video were recently hit by a burglar who vandalized the cash registers in those businesses and stole cash. Police Chief Terry Wright said that three more businesses at 1000 N. Main were broken into as well, though only $40 was stolen.

A surveillance video provided a picture of the burglar.

Chief Wright said that the surveillance photo produced “a lot” of tips. The investigation is active, “we’re working on a strong lead,” Wright said. If you have information on this case, call Tillamook Police at 503-842-2522.

for the pharmacy will remain the same.

Nehalem Bay Pharmacy was opened in 2010 by business partners Katherine Welch and Christine Lemon, several months after the town’s only pharmacy closed following a police investigation.

The former Wheeler Pharmacy, owned

by Jeff Collett, closed after Collett surrendered his licences to sell controlled substances at the request of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Collett’s pharmacy technician was charged with unlawful delivery of a schedule II controlled substance for giving out narcotics to people before their refills were due.

Commercial construction is figured as a multiple of ESUs. “A huger parking lot pays more than a small parking lot,” Wyntergreen explained.

While Tillamook has had minimal residential construction in recent years, there has been some commercial growth, Wyntergreen said.

The council subsequently had its first reading of an “umbrella” ordinance allowing Tillamook to enact any or all of five systems development charges authorized by state law – for water, sewer, stormwater, streets, and parks. (Tillamook has historically charged SDCs for water and sewer, but not for stormwater, streets, or parks.) Enactment is tentatively scheduled for the council’s first meeting in January.

A resolution implementing the stormwater SDC – not effective until the ordinance is – passed 5-1, with councilor Doug Henson voting no.

“We’re just starting to see a hint of recovery,” Henson said. “The last thing we need is an additional fee that’ll make it more difficult.”

Not nervous against Stayton

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports he Lady Cheesemakers opened their season on the road at Newport on Dec. 4, and according to head coach Danielle Weber, the girls were flat out nervous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were scared,â&#x20AC;? Weber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our first game without a lot of veterans and we played nervous which caused us not to pass the ball well. It just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a very good game.â&#x20AC;?

Despite not playing their best, Tillamook did lead 19-18 at half, but the Cubs took the lead and the momentum in the fourth quarter which they carried to a 3628 victory.

T

Tillamook vs Stayton The Tillamook girls basketball team was looking for their first win of the season in their second game of the year when they hosted the Stayton Eagles.

The Lady Mooks came out running with Kaylin Hammond cutting through the Stayton full court press like a hot knife through butter. Hammond was all over the court, bouncing around like a super ball.

At the end of the first half, the Lady Cheesemakers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable, but they were ahead 20-18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was night and day different than our first game,â&#x20AC;? Weber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the one day between games I showed them the game film of themselves against Newport and they actually saw the adjustments they needed to make and made them.â&#x20AC;?

In the second half things started getting tight and the pressure turned up, but Tillamook still managed to have a two point lead going into the fourth. A big part of that was a good all around game from Keleigh Hoopes.

Hoopes hit some key jumpers to keep Tillamook in the lead in the second half and ended the game with an impressive 18 points, 12 boards and two blocks.

Also, having big nights for Tillamook was Rosemary Watkins and Jamie Kottre.

Watkins dumped in seven points, played excellent defense and rebounded well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She (Watkins) was good on the offensive glass and got a few nice put backs,â&#x20AC;?

Weber explained.

Kottre had six points of her own and was aggressive under the basket.

The game came down to the wire, but the Lady 'Mooks did the right things down the stretch and got the win, 32-31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the Stayton game was the best team basketball we've played this year,â&#x20AC;?

Weber said.

A recap of Tillamookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game on Dec. 11 at home against Molalla will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com.

Their following game will start 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 14 at home against Central.

Keleigh Hoopes had a big game for the Lady Cheesemakers against Stayton with 18 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks on the night.

Bobcat and Pirate wrestlers battle at Culver Invitational

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

On Dec. 7-8 the Nestucca Bobcat and NeahKah-Nie Pirate wrestling squads traveled to eastern Oregon to attend the Culver Invitational and see how they stacked up against some of the better wrestlers at any level. 22 teams from all sizes of schools were in attendance and the competition on the mats was fierce.

The Pirates and Bobcats had small teams compared to many of the other schools, but they both did well and had a few individuals who were nothing short of spectacular.

The Pirates top finishers were Matt Clayton at 126 pounds, Logan Romig at 132 pounds and Alejandro Quintana at 145 pounds. All three wrestlers are wrestling in heavier weight classes than they will end the season, making their roads to the top a little tougher in Culver, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make excuses.

Romig barely missed placing at the event when he lost his last match in sudden death overtime. Not placing is out of the norm for Romig, but his weight class was the toughest in the tournament according to his coach Don Zellner.

At 145 pounds, Alejandro Quintana took fifth place at the meet while Clayton took sixth at 126 pounds.

Also wrestling well for Neah-Kah-Nie for the first time was heavyweight Troy Martin. Martin wrestled for Tillamook last season, but relocated to Neah-Kah-Nie and is a welcome addition to the Pirates roster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough tournament and we had a lot of younger guys who went and maybe didn't win much, but they got to experience what varsity wrestling is like,â&#x20AC;? Zellner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wrestling is like any other sport. You're going to have adversity and you have to deal with that. There was plenty of it at this tournament.â&#x20AC;?

While the Pirates finished towards the bottom in the team standings, the Bobcats ended the tournament in ninth place and put two different wrestlers in the finals with a chance to win.

Lucas Leslie and Sam Kenagy both wrestled their way to the finals in their respective weight classes, but both ended in second place; Leslie because he hurt his arm in the semifinal match which he won 8-1, and Kenagy because with less than 30 seconds left in the match his opponent scored a take down and he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away in time. Leslie forfeited and Kenagy lost, 2-1.

Others wrestling well for the Bobcats were Nate Parks, taking sixth place at 160 pounds, Norberto Soto and freshmen Ryan Leslie.

The Bobcats took ninth place as a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're very inexperienced and so I was overall very pleased with the result,â&#x20AC;? said Bobcat head coach Cameron Mitchem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some young kids at least one or two matches even if at the JV level and all the kids got to see some very good wrestling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have possibly done even better had Leslie not gotten hurt, but there's not reason to push it with an injury at this point in the season. I'm sure he'll be full strength again in a week or two.â&#x20AC;?

The next match for Pirates will be Dec. 22 at home and the Bobcats will be hosting the Hagerty Invitational in Cloverdale starting at 10 a.m. on Dec. 15.

Hahn receives Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and Museum's MacTarnahan Scholarship Headlight Herald Sports

Cheyenne Hahn, a 2012 Tillamook High School graduate, was honored as a recipient of the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and Museum's MacTarnahan Scholarship during the 33rd Annual Induction Ceremony held at the Multnomah Athletic Club on Nov. 13.

From the thousands of applicants, Cheyenne was one of six Oregon high school athletes honored to receive the $3,000 scholarship.

Cheyenne was selected based on her outstanding academic achievements – she held a 4.13 GPA while taking honor's classes and college courses along with graduating in the top 10% of her class. Her many hours of community involvement was also a factor in the selection.

However, her athletic accomplishments were a major factor in the selection. During

her four years playing basketball at Tillamook High School she received numerous awards – First Team All-League (200912), Defensive Player of Year (2011 & 12), Player of the Year (2012), 4A All-Tournament 2nd Team & 1st Team All-State (2012) along with many school awards.

Cheyenne is currently attending the University of Portland. She plans to transfer to Oregon State University where she will seek a double degree in Education and Psychology.

The Oregon Sports Hall of Fame awards the scholarships to Oregon high school seniors who graduated in 2012 and are attending a school of higher education within Oregon.

Recipients are chosen on the basis of athletic accomplishments, academic achievements and community involvement.

The Neah-Kah-Nie Lady Pirates hosted the Jewell Blue Jays on Dec. 3 and played themselves a heck of a basketball game.

The team’s offense was clicking with all the girls seeming to know right where they were supposed to be and where the open man was going to be before they even got the ball.

The Blue Jays had two very talented scorers, but great defense from the team, especially Tasha Maybe-DeRoast, kept their scorers from doing any serious damage.

The game tightened up towards the end, but the Pirates held on for the 29-22 win.

NKN @ Clatskanie The following evening, Neah-Kah-Nie made the long and winding trip to Clatskanie to take on the 3A Tigers.

“They were really quick, they shot well and their defense caused us to turn

the ball over,” said Pirate head coach Corey Douma. “They were just at a different level than we were at this point.”

The Tigers took control of the game early on and never looked back. The outmatched Pirates fell to the Tigers, 61-24.

NKN @ Delphian “Delphian was a much improved team

from the team they were last season,” Douma said. “They were in our face on defense all night long and they caused us some problems. We still need to figure out how to not panic and handle the pressure defense.”

The Lady Pirates led most of the game with the Dragons living and dying by the three-pointer. The Dragons did pull close towards the end of the fourth quarter and buried their sixth three of the game to take a lead for the first time.

“I was really proud of our girls because they could have folded right there when Delphian took the lead, but they didn’t,” Douma said. “Instead we buckled down and created a few turnovers that turned into easy baskets.”

The Pirates regained the lead and hung on for the, 36-32 win.

“Amy Romig played great defense for us and Taylor Winder and Elana Holm held us together by hitting big shots,” Douma said.

The Lady Pirates next game will be a 6 p.m. game on Dec. 14 at Riverdale.

Mook wrestling comes out strong

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

With a reputation like Tillamook wrestling has, every time they step into a gym the Cheesemakers get their opponents’ best effort. But, Tillamook wasn’t given the reputation of being a tough team loaded with excellent wrestlers who are willing to put in the needed work to be the best, they earned it. They’ve continued to earn it early this season in their first two meets at Banks on Dec. 5 and at their home meet on Dec. 7.

Mook wrestlers walked onto the mats and took care of business in Banks, winning the tournament by whipping the competition. They beat Yamhill Carlton, 65-12. Then, beat Rainier 68-8 and finally smoked Gladstone 57-17.

Overall, Tillamook outscored their competition 190 points to 37 and never was really tested.

When the Cheesemakers hosted their home meet on Dec. 7 they kept right on rolling.

Ridgefield, Rainier, Newport, Central, Dayton, Rogue River and Roosevelt were all in attendance, but that didn't stop Tillamook. They dusted their competition scoring 231.5 combined points as a team when the next closest team was Ridgefield with 163.

Headlight Herald Sports

The Nestucca Bobcat boys had quite stretch of games when they played Willamina and Toledo followed by their first Northwest League game against Faith Bible from Dec. 4 to Dec. 7.

The Cats were playing a lot of basketball in shot order, but they were up to the challenge going 1-2 in the three games.

Drew Owens puts his Ridgefield opponent on his back and got the for the pin at Tillamook’s home meet. Owens ended up taking second place in his weight class.

Tillamook also has three champions in Jonas Ayala Sanchez, Billy Prince and Marcus Cheney. Besides the champions, they had eight runners up including, Myron Moore, Micha Kawano, Kody Pruilehre, Drew Owens, Jake Fowler, Logan Weeks, Hector Rojo and Skyler Clowers.

“We did okay, but we have

a long way to go and a lot of room to grow,” said Tillamook head coach Lonnie Eggert.

“That’s a good thing. I want us to be growing. We don't want to be where we should be at state time right now.

“We did well at Banks and okay at home, but hard to tell with that competition. We're really going to be able to see

where we stand when we go to Grants Pass this weekend.”

Tillamook will be headed to the Grants Pass Invitational on Dec. 13-14 and there promises to be some excellent wrestlers from all over the state.

“It’s going to be a real test of where we are,” Eggert said.

Team effort gets Mook boys a big first win

Tillamook vs Stayton The Cheesemakers were without Matt Strang or Markus Pullen, but Nate McRae was back at full strength when the Stayton Eagles came to town on Dec. 6 and the Cheesemakers looking like a very different team than they were against Newport.

“I felt like we really focused on defense, rebounding and

hustling after the ball and on the boards,” Werner said.

“Honestly, I think the biggest difference was a mentality and mindset change more than anything else. Plus, getting Nate back created a ripple effect of guys getting back into their normal spots. And he’s a heck of a competitor to have in the line up.”

The game was a fast paced frenzy early with both teams running and gunning down the floor.

Tillamook guard Joey Hancock did a great job moving the ball up the floor for Tillamook and fed his teammates accurate passes all night long.

“Joey has a tough task because he’s really an extension of the coaching staff out there on the floor, but he did a great job managing the team,” Werner said. “If you’ve ever coached basketball you know how hard of a job that is.”

When the shots didn't fall for Tillamook, it was David Waud or Jacob Hurliman who were cleaning up the glass and putting the ball back up and in.

Especially Hurliman who had a monster night, ending the game with 22 points and nine rebounds. Five of which were offensive.

Waud ended with eight rebounds of his own.

“David won’t always score a lot, but he's able to distribute the ball from the post spot which gives us a threat we need,” Werner said.

Also, having good nights were Isaac Stellflug who ended with 12 points going 2-4 from beyond the arch and McRae who scored 10 and grabbed seven boards.

Tillamook led 28-20 at half and 45-33 and the end of the

Joey Hancock’s ball handling and ability to get his teammates involved was a big part to Tillamook win over Stayton.

third, but they weren't out of the woods yet.

Fortunately, Hancock kept his team together. Tillamook did a great job hustling around the basket not giving the Eagles many second chances towards the end.

When the clocked ticked down, all Stayton could do was watch as Tillamook defended their home court with a 55-41 victory.

Some nights it will be Hurliman scoring, other nights it will be Waud or McRae,” Werner explained. “It’s going to be about what the defense gives us.”

The results of Tillamook’s game at Molalla on Dec 11 will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com. Their following game will be a 7 p.m. home game on Dec. 14 against Central.

Nestucca @ Willamina “It was a wild one,” said Bobcat head coach Jim Kiser.

“We were down by four at the end of the first but led by five at halftime.”

The two teams were neck and neck right down to the end, but in the fourth it looked as if the Bulldogs were going to get the better of the Bobcats. The Bulldogs led by four with two minutes to go in the game, but they kept fighting.

Their efforts were rewarded when the Bobcats fought back to within one point and there were 20 seconds left to go.

Freshman Brett Elder managed to get the ball down under the basket and go back up and in for two get the foul call. He hit the free throw to give the Bobcats a two point lead, which they held on to.

Nestucca got their first win of the season in dramatic fashion, 53-51.

Elder finished the game with 13 points and Austin Woods had 10 for the Cats, but it was Joey Chatelain who had the best game his head coach had ever seen him play that night. Chatelain had 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds to go along with it.

“That was easily the best game I've ever seen him play,” Kiser said.

Nestucca vs. Toledo Nestucca hosted the Toledo Boomers on Dec. 5, but the Boomers certainly weren't kind guests. They were a much bigger team with a lot very athletic players and the Bobcats were in trouble right out of the gates.

“They pretty much used their physical tools to overpower us from the beginning,” Kiser said.

The Bobcats did manage to hold the Boomers to two points in the third quarter,

Nestucca vs. Faith Bible The Bobcats played their second league game of the year at home against the Falcons on Dec. 7 and put together a very nice game.

“I thought we had a good shot in the game from start to finish,” Kiser said. “Really it was only a few defensive lapses that killed us.”

The lapses Kiser's referring to cost the Bobcats back to back threes in the third quarter and they were never able to recover.

“Those big threes gave them the momentum and we just couldn't recover,” Kiser said. “It also really hurt that we shot so poorly from the free throw line. If we had shot better it could have changed everything.”

The Bobcats were only 1327 from the charity stripe, leaving a very important 14 points on the floor. Austin had another good game for the Bobcats, scoring 15 points to lead his team, but the Cats fell, 51-41 to the Falcons.

The results of the Bobcats game at Riverdale on Dec. 11 will be available at tillamookheadlightherald.com. The following game will be another league road test when the Cats travel to Knappa for a 7:30 p.m. game on Dec. 14.

The boys from Tillamook took the court for their first game of the season on Dec. 4 when they hosted the Newport Cubs.

It was the first time Tillamook’s team was without former star player Jordan Schriber so there was certainly going to be a new look to the team. But, what wasn’t planned was senior Nate McRae was unavailable due to sickness, Markus Pullen was sidelined due to an injury and junior Matt Strang played, but was very under the weather. So, the Cheesemakers’ were going to be starting their season with a very depleted roster.

“It really challenged our depth,” said Tillamook head coach Greg Werner. “Because we were so short-handed we had people playing out of position which caused us to be very out of sync and threw off our timing.”

Tillamook struggled for scoring, especially in the first half, which Werner attributed to setting for jump shots and not penetrating or getting to the free throw line.

Eventually they got some scoring in the third and fourth quarter, but couldn't even get the lead and fell to Newport, 40-35.

FARM TO FORK

HEADLIGHT HERALD • DECEMBER 12, 2012

Christmas presents from the kitchen Macaroons Macaroons are my favorite gluten-free cookie. A small tin of them makes a lovely gift for a gluten-free friend. I like to dip them in dark chocolate when they’re cool. It’s like a Mounds bar, but better.

4 egg whites 2 pinches of salt 1 15 oz. can sweetened, condensed milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 6 cups unsweetened flake coconut* Melted chocolate for dipping (optional)

BY MARY FAITH BELL Mfbell@countrymedia.net

This month’s Farm to Fork is largely fork, in honor of the season. This is a special recipe edition of my favorite goodies to make and give for Christmas. You’ll find special cookies, my mom’s coveted tassie recipe, and delicious recipes for English Butter Toffee and macaroons, that also happen to be gluten-free. Several of my friends have gluten sensitivities, and it’s important to me to have some gluten-free recipes in my repertoire.

If you’re an ambitious baker and you have the time, you could make several of these recipes and have a glorious assortment to take to a holiday dinner party or to package in Christmas tins for gifts. If you’re a beginner or short on time, just pick one thing and try it. English Butter Toffee, for instance. It’s easier than you think, and most people would be thrilled to receive it.

Happy Holidays from the Headlight Herald and happy baking.

Feel free to call or email me if you have questions about any of these recipes.

Whisk together egg whites, salt, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. (Vanilla will tint the macaroons slightly, so they’re not snowy white. You can leave it out, but I love the vanilla flavor in these cookies.)

Stir in unsweetened coconut until thoroughly blended. If you chill the dough it makes it easier /less sticky to handle, but you don’t have to.

Using a small ice cream scoop, fill the scoop with cookies dough and press it in so it is solid, and flat on the bottom.

Release it from the scoop and placed on a greased cookie sheet. It’s important to grease the cookie sheet, or they will stick. I use Canola oil pan spray.

Bake at 325 for 10 minutes, turn cookie sheet around, (front facing back) and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cookies are beginning to turn golden brown on top. Cool.

Dip in chocolate if you like. *You can find unsweetened coconut at health food stores, and sometimes in bulk foods in grocery stores. If you were to substitute sweetened coconut flakes the cookies would be too sweet (for me). You could adjust the sweetened condensed milk down and increase the egg white, so the result was the same volume of liquid, if you couldn’t find unsweetened coconut.

Shortbread Cookies Chewy Ginger Cookies These might be my favorite cookies. For me, the crystallized ginger makes this cookie. But some people don’t like it, and you don’t have to use it. ¾ cups unsalted butter at room temp ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup molasses 1 egg 2 teaspoons baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground cloves 2 1/3 cups flour 2/3 cup chopped (or snipped, with kitchen scissors) crystallized ginger (optional) Demerara or raw sugar for rolling*

Cream butter, egg, sugars and molasses until fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients and Stir into creamed mixture until thoroughly blended. Stir in crystallized ginger if you’re using it. Chill dough.

Roll chilled dough into balls, any size you like, but make them all the same size.

Roll dough balls in demerara sugar. Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and press a few shards of crystallized ginger onto cookie.

Bake at 350 for about 9 minutes. Take the cookies out before they look done. *Demerara, or raw sugar is large, brown sugar crystals that taste good with this cookie and make it sparkle.

This is adapted from a recipe by Patty Morgan.

These are a holiday favorite. This recipe is special for the addition of rice flour, which makes for a lighter shortbread. After the cookies have cooled I like to dip half the cookie in melted chocolate.

2 ¾ cups flour ¼ cup rice flour (you can find rice flour in specialty food sections and sometimes in bulk foods) ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 2 ¾ cubes of unsalted butter at room temperature Combine in mixer or food processor until thoroughly blended and a stiff dough forms. Divide dough into 3 or 4 pieces. Roll dough into logs two inches or more across,

depending upon how big you want the cookies. Roll logs in plastic wrap and chill.

Slice chilled dough approx ¼ inch thick. Try to be consistent, because thinly sliced cookies will bake faster than thick cookies, which will be problematic if you have both on the same cookie sheet. You can sprinkle cookies with raw sugar, colored sugar or finely chopped crystallized ginger (gently press it in), or leave them au naturel. Bake cookies 2 inches apart (they’ll spread) on parchment paper at 325 degrees for 20 minutes, or until pale golden color. Cool.

Dip half the plain cookies in melted chocolate, if you like, and let them set up on the parchment paper.

Adapted from the cookbook Baking Illustrated.

Crust: 2 cubes of butter at room temperature 6 oz cream cheese at room temperature ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups of flour Blend in food processor until a stiff, smooth dough is formed. (You can also do it by hand). Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Filling: 4 eggs 2 cups brown sugar 4 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups chopped pecans or walnuts Roll heaping teaspoons of chilled dough between palms into small balls and press into miniature muffin tins (ungreased). Fill 2/3 full (filling will expand as it bakes). Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, and then reduce heat to 250, bake for 10 more minutes.

Let tassies cool 10 or 15 minutes before removing them from tins. Twist tassies gently to release them from tins, or run a small, sharp knife around the edge and lift them out.

Lemon Shortbread Cookies These small, tender cookies are something special. The lemon flavor bursts in your mouth and the richness of the frosting is a wonderful contrast to the dry cookie.

it chills a bit). Break dough into 2 or 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a skinny log, approximately 1 ¼ inches across. Wrap logs in plastic wrap and chill.

Cookie dough

Frosting

In a food processor or mixer combine: 1 1/4 cups of flour ½ cup cornstarch 1/2 cup powdered sugar ¾ cup butter ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon lemon zest (just the yellow skin of the lemon, finely grated, and not the white pith beneath) 1 tablespoon lemon juice

While dough is chilling, mix until smooth and light: 1 ½ cups powdered sugar ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature 2 tablespoons each lemon zest and lemon juice

Mix until thoroughly blended and forms a soft dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to an hour, (dough will be too soft to work with until

Slice chilled dough in ¼ inch slices and place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. These cookies won’t spread much, so they can be fairly close together. Bake at 350 for 11 minutes, or until set. They won’t brown. Cool on the cookie sheets.

On the subject of gifts, here are a few gift suggestions for the cook or baker in your life. The single best Christmas present I ever received was a Kitchen Aid stationary mixer. I have the Professional 600 model, and I love it. The Kitchen Aid ‘Artisan’ mixer would be big enough for most people’s needs, and they come in beautiful colors. You can find them locally. If I were going to buy a hand-held mixer, I would go for a Black and Decker. I had one for 25 years and it did everything I wanted it to.

I also have a 12-cup Kitchen Aid food processor, and I use it several times a week, for everything from grating cheese to making pesto, blending smoothies, pureeing soup, mixing cookie and pastry doughs, and even for making cheesecake. It is a work horse.

Good knives are a great gift, even one quality knife can change a cook’s life. One great knife and some flexible plastic, dishwasher safe cutting mats would be a really nice present. Those cutting mats are cheap and they’re great. I use them all the time for single uses, say, chop an onion, put the mat in the dishwasher. Stocking stuffers for cooks should include a microplane zester. This is a very fine grater for citrus zest, (the colored peel of a lemon or orange). They work so well, I would never go back. Also new spatulas, stainless steel wire whisks, a digital timer with a magnet for the fridge, hot pads, even kitchen towels make great gifts. I saw wonderful handwoven kitchen towels at Latimer Quilt and Textile.

Support local farmers I use Tillamook butter for baking because it’s excellent, and because I am contributing to the local economy. If it’s more expensive than another brand I consider that local cows produced the cream that made the butter on local farms, which support local families; local drivers transported it, local TCAA employees processed and packaged it, and local people work at the stores where it‘s sold. My shopping dollar does far more good staying in Tillamook County than it ever could buying a out of town brand. Moreover, if I were to spend the time and gas money to go shopping in the valley, how much would I really be saving?

Buy local meats Consider buying local meats for your holiday dinner this year. I am buying chickens from my neighbors Heidi and Travis Daggett in Blaine. They raise free-range chickens, whose diets are supplemented by a locally made, non-GMO feed. The first time I tasted a “Blaine broiler” I was amazed at the flavor. I had forgotten how chicken used to taste, when I was a kid. Blaine broilers are big, moist, meaty birds, glorious roasted.

Some of my workmates are buying their holiday meats, such as Prime Rib roasts and smoked turkeys from Tillamook Meat. They have a wonderful selection of high quality meats, and they’ll even season your roast for you and tell you how to cook it.

Contact Travis and Heidi for chickens at blainebroilers@yahoo.com, or 503-398-2848. For a full list of local food producers check out the North Coast Food Guide online at http://www.scribd.com/doc/98895003/North-Coast-FoodGuide.

English Butter Toffee

Tassies My mom started making tassies in the 1960’s. They’re miniature pecan (or walnut) pies. Over the years they have become the most coveted Christmas goodie in our family. Mom has to be careful to give people the same number of tassies, because they’ll count to make sure someone else isn’t getting more. There have even been tassie thefts. Tins of tassies have disappeared from under the tree. One year, a cousin was supposed to deliver a tin of tassies to an Aunt in another town. What she received was a tin of fudge, and nary a tassie. The cousin gleefully admitted to the switch.

Gifts for Cooks

When I was a kid, Almond Roca was my favorite Christmas candy. This toffee recipe,

by Abby Mandel, is Almond Roca all grown up. Once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back. I’ve been making it since 1998. It is easy to make, and is a very nice gift in a holiday themed cellophane bag tied with a ribbon.

It’s also gluten-free! You need an accurate candy thermometer and a heavy pan. (I test my candy thermometers every year -- in boiling water they should read 212 degrees.)

2 cubes of unsalted butter 1 cup of granulated sugar ¼ cup water ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 8 oz. high quality chocolate, either dark or milk, grated 1 cup toasted, chopped hazelnuts or almonds Put a piece of heavy-duty

Frost using a large star tip or with a knife. Allow frosting to set up before you handle them. The cookies are fragile; gently lift them from parchment paper.

Some will break. Eat those.

Cook over medium high heat, stirring often to prevent scorching, until candy thermometer reaches 305 degrees, and toffee has become a deep golden brown.

Tillamook School District receives grants for full-day kindergarten

Please come for cake and refreshments and wish Bill a happy birthday.

ENGAGEMENTS

The Tillamook School District recently received notification they will receive a $15,000 grant from the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) for the continuation of the newly developed full day, every day kindergarten program. The Cornelia and William T.C. Stevens (CHS) fund will provide this generous gift, which will be used to subsidize the cost of economically disadvantaged students’ participation in this program.

The District currently has two sections of full-time kindergarten, thanks in part to a generous gift from the TLC Federal Credit Union. Approximately 25 low-income students have been chosen for the program. Thanks to TLC and OCF, these students do not pay the $200 per month fee that other families are required to pay for full-time kindergarten.

According to Superintendent Randy Schild, “The law requires that if a District charges for a program, lowincome students must be provided access to those programs at no cost. Without these amazing gifts, we wouldn’t be able to provide full-time

Japan Comes to Neskowin Valley School Otis - Allen Emma Allen would like to announce the engagement of her mom and dad, Tiffany Otis and Dan Allen.

The bride elect is the daughter of Alex and Darlyn Otis of Tillamook. She attended Tillamook High School, and is presently employed at the Food Basket Marketplace.

The bridegroom elect is the son of John Allen and Robyn and Eric Mallery of Tillamook. He attended Tillamook High School and is employed with American Industrial Partners.

The couple lives in Bay City. They are planning a December wedding in Garibaldi.

Neskowin Valley School students learned about contemporary Japan through hands-on activities in a program called Japan on the Road in November. Members of the JapanAmerica Society of Oregon brought many items representing Japanese culture to the school, and students found out more about Japan as they wrote Japanese characters, picked up popcorn with chopsticks and imitated language and manners from present-day Japan.

Students from second to seventh grades learned about Japan’s geographic location and resources and the history of its ancient culture. They practiced the respectful use of the words “sensei” and “san” in addressing teachers and principal, a change from NVS’s legacy of calling faculty and staff by their first names.

The older students, who have been studying Mandarin Chinese with their teacher Amy Henderson, recognized some of the kanji (characters) as they practiced writing their names in Japanese.

NVS kindergartners and first graders gathered around a

huge kite in the shape of a fish and tried on a Japanese backpack with Sheryl Fuller, Keiko Nakata and Harumi Marshall, their Japanese teachers. They heard a Japanese folktale, imagined riding a bullet train and hiking up Mt. Fuji, and learned about food they might

eat if they were Japanese schoolchildren.

Fuller, the director of the program, enjoyed working with NVS students. “I was really impressed with your program and the young people we met! Your kids are so open and so involved.”

Head of School Julie Fiedler invited Japan on the Road to NVS as part of the school’s social studies curriculum on world history, language and culture. The Youngers class will be demonstrating Japanese winter holiday traditions at the annual NVS Festival of Lights on December 21 at 10 a.m. The pubic is invited to the Festival, which will feature festivals from around the world.

t is so neat being able to choose what weather you want to be in; on Sunday it was raining and windy in the front yard and sunny in the back yard, so when I told our daughter it was raining she kept insisting it wasn't.

few “Tis the Season Season notes…

‘Tis the season when the Port of Garibaldi does their “outreach” meetings, holding the Port Commission’s monthly meetings at the city halls in the other cities in the Port’s bailiwick. The Port’s January meeting (Jan. 9) will be at Rockaway Beach City Hall; the one in February (Feb. 13) will be at City Hall in Bay City.

The Port’s December meeting — tonight, Wednesday Dec. 12 — won’t be at Garibaldi City Hall, however; it’ll be at the usual “home” location, the Port offices at the foot of 7th St., on the waterfront. For the past couple of years, the Port Commission had held their December meeting at Garibaldi City Hall, but Port manager Kevin Green-

restless Santa and Mrs. Claus showed up with a little musical bear for them. If you missed it this time, make sure you get there next year! A great time was had by everyone. Good treats, conversation and music, what a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

I do want to try and remember this time to let Troop 178, that it does not go unnoticed what you boys do, they had been asked to help out again this year to wrap boxes for the Secret Angels Organization, they did a great job wrapping boxes and making an effort to be involved in their community. They had been asked to do this earlier, but no set date was made, when they were arriving for a regular meeting they found out that they would be wrapping the boxes that day, without a second thought they gathered what was needed and went right to work.

So to Troop 178 thank you for your cooperation, consideration and helping your community. I know the Secret Angels appreciate what you did.

I need to say a late Happy Birthday to Haileigh Work!

Happy 1ST Birthday to Miles Gieger, and Happy Birthday to Shay Davidson and Jacquie Bradley Jacobs!

Anything out there, send it to me at hope9801@yahoo.com.

See You Soon!

that night. Then we had lots of rain and wind and I thought it would never let up. But today, Wednesday, December 5, 2012 there are only wispy white clouds, blue sky and sunshine everywhere. What a relief. And today is David Bennett's 47th birthday - congrats to you son.

Hard to believe all those years have gone by. Here we are still in Cape Meares. I won't mention how many years I have lived here - but it is most of my life.

Nea-Rock Garden Club had a nice day today for their wreath making and potluck. It is much more fun getting out on a sunny day than it is on those rainy windy days of late. I hope to see a few days in a row of bright sunshine.

Nea- Rock Garden Club will meet Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at Merle Wine's new house in Bay City. Her cell

phone number is1-818-9439463. Her e-mail address is: djwine@embarqmail.com. This will be a potluck lunch and we will exchange "white elephant" gifts. The directions I got were to turn left on Warren Street to Goose Point. Her house is the only house on the left. There are only two houses. Clam Street is a dead end street. There is room for only four cars to park in the driveway. To carpool, meet at PUD parking lot at 11:15 a.m. and leave at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, December 8, 2012 is the Holiday Social/Potluck at the Cape Meares Community Center from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Saturday, December 31, 2012 is the New Year's Party at the Cape Meares Community Center from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m.

These events are subject to change. Please check capemeares.net for any changes.

wood said carting everything up to City Hall hadn’t resulted in any big change in attendance.

City Hall and the Port’s office are only about four blocks apart, after all.

At their meeting tonight — Dec. 12 — the Port Commission will be authorizing repairs to the Tillamook Bay Boathouse building, which lost a big part of its room in last month’s storm. (The Port owns the building, which is leased to Darus Peake’s Tillamook Bay Boathouse company.) They also have to replace some dock equipment that was ripped off — in this case, not by the storm, but by a thief.

Also tonight — Dec. 12 — is the Bay City Arts Center’s annual fundraising dinner and silent auction. “Seafood Extravaganza” dinner’s at 5:30 p.m., and they’ve promised 12 different items on the menu (12/12/12, y’know). $4 discount if you buy the tickets in advance — contact the Arts Center at 503/377-9620 or baycityartscenter@gmail.com. Among the recent items donated for the auction – it’s going to be quite a show -- are a gigantic carved wooden swordfish from Mark Siever, a copy of the Captain Gray book by Frances Cross and the late Col. Charles Parkin

Jr., founder of the Garibaldi Museum, a “Romantic Getaway” 2-night stay at the Garibaldi House Inn, and paintings and a 2013 calendar by watercolor artist Larry Stephens.

You won’t want to miss this.

There is still one more weekend to take advantage of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad’s “Candy Cane Express” trips to Rockaway; they’ll be this Saturday and Sunday, December 15 and 16. The train leaves Garibaldi at 1, 3, and 5 p.m. The train is “all gussied up for Christmas,” like the song says (one of mine), and Santa will be on board, too, for consultations with kids—and adults, too.

Don’t forget the Lions Club’s Christmas barrels at the Garibaldi post office, Sterling Bank, the Food Basket, and the Garibaldi Library. They need new, unwrapped toys, and also canned or non-perishable foods (watch those expiration dates). The barrels will be out until approximately a week before Christmas.

Please be generous. There are a lot of folks needing help this year.

And Friday, December 14, the Garibaldi Food Pantry is open, 10 till noon at the God’s Lighthouse church, 8th & Garibaldi Ave. (across from the Food Basket).

A note from Lori Carpenter, Netarts/Oceanside fencepost writer: I am taking a temporary leave to spend time with our family and upcoming arrivals of our granddaughter and a grandson... I plan on being back Jan. 9, 2013. I would like to thank

I

f anyone in South Tillamook County didn’t get into the Christmas Spirit last weekend, it’s wasn’t for lack of an opportunity. My 1971 Beetle, Felix, ferried me to half a dozen festive destinations. Stops included Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge where participants not only created free lovely evergreen wreaths, but enjoyed a mini-lesson on local evergreen identification from resident volunteer, Lee Sliman. Fellow crafters included Lily Hoodock with her family, Cindy Putt, and Theresa Roberts among many others.

I also enjoyed touring the bazaars at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Nestuuca Valley Elementary, and Kiwanda Community Center.

I purchased a lovely hand crafted blank art journal created by Candance Churchley at the latter event for a mere $7.00. She tells me that her work is available year-round at The Corner, a shop kittycorner from the Shell station at the four way stop in Pacific City. You can bet I’ll pay a visit the next time I need an affordable gift.

Singing Alto in the Messiah concert in Tillamook on Sunday was my personal kick-off to the season.

Dareld and Emily Summers and their son were smiling faces. VFW Post 9611 and the Ladies Auxiliary won’t hold their regular meeting this month since it falls the week before Christmas.

Instead, they’ll gather at

6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 12 at the VFW Hall in Cloverdale for potluck “finger-foods” and a (up to $10 value) gift exchange. Coffee will be provided and guests may be invited along.

That same evening South Tillamook County Library in Pacific City hosts Teen Movie Night at 5:30. Thirteen through eighteen year olds are warmly welcome; popcorn will be served.

Remember events happening the same day, Wednesday, December 12 previously mentioned in this space: A $5 Potato Bar to benefit South Tillamook Christmas Baskets happens from 11:30-1:00 at Nestucca Presbyterian Church in Pacific City. A free Gingerbread Workshop kicks off at 6:30 at Hebo Christian Center in Hebo for the entire family.

Fifth through eighth grade Nestucca band students will perform their Winter Concert at 7:00 p.m. this Thursday, December 13 at Nestucca Elementary School which is located about a mile south of Cloverdale on U.S. Highway 101. It marks the fifth graders’ debut performance and they are first on the program with groups laid out in ascending order from there.

One and all are invited to be Santa’s helpers at 9:30 a.m. this Friday, December 14 at the Fire Hall in Hebo.

We’ll wrap gifts for local families in need that have been gathered and will be delivered by Nesko Women’s Club and Nestucca Lions Club volunteers. The work party is expected to end by lunchtime.

Nesko Women will pitch in at the Fire Hall in lieu of meeting in December; they do plan to lunch together afterwards at The Hudson House Bed & Breakfast Inn. A raffle for a night at Powder Creek Ranch Bed and Breakfast will be held. As always, prospective mem-

bers (any South Tillamook County women) are welcome to join the lunch but need advance reservations which may be made by calling President Teresa Smith at 503-965-6521. Lunch is $12.

Nestucca Lions are also recruiting new members.

They tell me that their accomplishments are one of Oregon’s best kept secrets as members quietly help friends and neighbors while having fun. Their meetings are twice a month on Tuesdays at the Lion’s Den in Cloverdale.

For more information call Sandy Hanneman, 503-9656004.

Thanks to Ielean Rouse, Pacific City & Woods’ CPAC Chair, for word that their next meeting is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 15 at the Central Building in Pacific City.

More holiday spirit will be on tap when the seventh and eighth grade Nestucca Band tours Tillamook with three stops Wednesday, December 19. They’re scheduled to perform at 10:00 a.m. at Five Rivers Retirement Community; they’ll repeat the show at an 11:00 show at Kilchis House, and the finale is a stint at Tillamook Cheese Factory scheduled for noon.

Don’t forget that a walkthrough of the Pacific City Airport is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 19, and the public is invited. Pacific City’s airport is reportedly being considered for closure by the Department of Aviation as a means of reducing the state budget.

Happy 12-12-12 dear readers. Happy Birthday to: Martin Braun, Jr., Quinton Brooks, Kayla Cross, Brett Elder, Betty Fisher, Ed Flinter, Julia and Olivia Hagerty, Lucas Jones, Liz Kellow, Ruth Kiser, Caitlin Measor, Tami Owens, Julie Pieren, and Amy Schmid.

O

h the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.

There's a chill in the air. Jack Frost is nipping at us, from our nose to our toes! Dale's busy keeping our woodstove cranked up high so we're nice, warm and cozy.

The Thanksgiving potluck at St. Mary's by the Sea was a huge success. Judy Sours said about 70 folks attended the event. They had 10 helpers & great instructions from the president of Rockaway Beach Senior Meals, Bob Dempster.

The Eugene Schmuck foundation of Manzanita gave a generous grant of $500 to help with food cost plus $70 of donations at the dinner that went to Senior Meals. Next year they plan to continue the event, so mark your calendars for 2013.

"It Takes A Village … or Three Villages" is the theme to throw a year-long series of parties and events marking the 100th birthday of the Rinehart Clinic.

Laura Swanson and Sue Remy are organizing the affairs.

Amongst their helpers, is our very own Rockaway Beach Historian, Don Best. At this point they would like photos and stories or short testimonies of experiences from the early days of the clinic. They are planning receptions with vintage items, photos and stories from days gone by in chronological order. If you have

Karen Rust asked me to fill in for her while she answers a higher calling. I expect she will be with you again next week.

Meanwhile, I’m back!

On November 30, Sharline and I became great grandparents for the umpteenth time. I’ve lost count. Little Kipling Dev was born to my granddaughter, Carmen Dev, at 11 a.m. in Portland.

He weighed in at nine pounds, three and one-half ounces, and was 20 inches. And, he had a head of curly black hair. I wish I had some of that.

Carmen and Kapil Dev were married in India two years ago, and are now living in Portland.

They had a traditional Hindu wedding, with visits to various shrines over three days, to assure good luck and a happy marriage.

Members of the Bay City Boosters were pleasantly surprised at their monthly meeting November 30. Although a few members got tipped off in advance, most were surprised by the turkey dinner Pat and Linda Vining had prepared. The Vinings’ turkey was complemented

by Patti and Fred Watson’s dressing. I was tipped off, so Sharline and I brought some cranberry sauce made with Splenda.

The Boosters have been busy during month of November.

Members of the Beautification Committee have removed all the

NOTES FROM THE COAST information or would like to help with this project, you can contact Laura Swanson at 503-368-5182 ext. 176 (lswanson@rinehartclinic.com) or you can contact Don Best at 503 355 2335 (drbest@oregoncoast.com).

Don Best is also always looking for photos and stories of days gone by in Rockaway Beach. We have several of my husbands' family pictures from back in the 30's that we need to get to him.

I'll bet most of us have family albums that have fond memories of our wonderful community. Or if you have stories, Don can document them so those memories aren't gone forever. Think about it. I'll remind you again later.

Robin Herrington (503 355 8115) and Jan Markle (503 368 6166) are still looking for food donations for the Lions Club Christmas basket program. If you have goods you'd like to donate, the bank has a drop-off barrel. Or just call one of these ladies.

And don't forget our Meals for Seniors program. During these cold days, a warm meal is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at St. Mary's by the Sea. Meals for Seniors welcomes all seniors in Tillamook County. Lunch begins at 11:30 am sharp. They ask for a $4 donation. The meals are good for you and yummy. And you will get a chance meet people from all over the county!

How's the Christmas shopping coming? Don't forget to check out all our shops in town for gifts. I found a few presents for myself recently. Now I need to work on the other folks on my list. How about purchasing a nice gift certificate at one of our restaurants in town? That's always a welcome gift, plus it helps our community. Christmas is getting real close.

“Since there's no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." That's Rockaway Beach "Sugar Coated!"

had long pushed for some nice Christmas lighting to brighten up the town at this time of year. It’s just a little bit, but it’s a start.

Maybe we can look for some more next year.

The Boosters will hold their Christmas dinner on Friday, December 28. It won’t be a regular meeting, president Linda Vining said. “We’ll just enjoy a nice dinner and have a gift exchange. If you don’t want to take part in the gift exchange,” Linda added, “simply don’t bring a gift.”

Pat Vining said that he expects the dinner to consist of baked ham with scalloped potatoes. By that time, we should be pretty well fed up with turkey.

Helen Wright suggested a one-day city-wide garage sale for next summer, offering the parking lot at The Landing for the sale. The Boosters tentatively agreed on July 4 instead of Memorial Day, since the weather is more likely to be better in July.

The Bay City Planning Commission discussed which uses could be allowed in undeveloped rights-of-way. The question was raised by a citizen last summer.

The Commission is recommending that no structures be permitted, but would OK planting of flowers and shrubs. Current uses could be grandfathered, provided the property owner secures a Right-of-Way permit. The matter will be considered by the City Council at a future date.

The two just belong together.

O

ne hundred nineteen journalists were murdered last year for what they wrote. I have a friend who keeps referring to the “mainstream media,” as if it were a groupthink phalanx of zombies repeating what Big Brother said. Big Brother must have been displeased with their version of his truth.

The main reason I write a humor column is to crack myself up and maybe you, too.

However, there is another reason. You can address subjects in a humor column that otherwise might not make it through. I’ve written of terminal illness, global warming, endangered species, divorce, testosterone, lying to ourselves, homelessness, poverty, and so on.

I’m arrogant enough to think I might have something to say you need to hear. I’m not arrogant enough to compare myself with these 119 martyrs to freedom of speech.

Still, I have just a hint of what it might be like. I've received abusive emails in this job. My photo is in the newspaper every week. Locally, everyone recognizes me. People I've never met address me by my first name. I've been censored by my editor when my treatment of gender, prejudice, race or sex she thought too salty for a family newspaper.

For Your Coffee Shop

Call (503) 842-7535 to learn how to put your coffee shop in this space!

But my biggest battle is with myself, fighting against self-editing.

A friend said, I know why you write. You want to be famous. Anyone who wants to be famous is a fool. Ask the families of those 119 journalists. I write this column because we like to do things we’re good at.

I wonder what it must SCHUBERT be like to consider selfediting when someone MOORE might put a pistol to the back of my head because of what I’ve written. Those 119 journalists gave their lives so you could read their version of the truth. The type of binary thinking that labels complex concepts like the myriad reasons journalists write into an either/or category like mainstream media reveals lack of understanding at best, or worst, intellectual laziness. There are just journalists, each as different as you to me.

There is no such concept as mainstream media.

When you express your opinion, you’re doing exactly what I do. The only difference

is the size of the audience. There are places in this world, in this country, actually, where expressing your opinion will bring you harm.

You’re no stranger to self-editing. You do it automatically, to adjust to your audience, to prevent the young from too much truth, to keep your job, to keep your friends.

Still, you have a responsibility to speak out, to express your opinion on important subjects like politics, religion, or lack thereof, education, taxes and so on.

However, you have another responsibility.

You have the responsibility to listen, too. I don’t mean marking time tapping your foot waiting for the speaker to finish so you can give your opinion, but to really listen. To actively listen. How will we ever learn anything new from each other if we’re talking all the time? We need to spend as much time listening as speaking.

Here’s a phrase to help you listen – “You’re saying,” and then repeat what you heard. You’ll be amazed how often you heard wrong.

Those 119 journalists wrote what they thought you needed to hear, and they were killed for it. To honor them, let’s listen to each other.

YOUNG MOTHER Still just a kitten herself at only about 9 months old, Jem already is a young mother. She and her litter were found in a box in the middle of a North County road and turned over to United Paws of Tillamook, where they are in foster care and available for adoption. Despite her hectic early life, Jem is very friendly, affectionate and gets along well with other cats and dogs. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also house trained, current with shots and has been spayed.

MELLOW BUT PROTECTIVE Betty was pregnant when she came to the Tillamook Animal Shelter. She gave birth to seven puppies, all of which have been adopted. Now Betty is ready for a home of her own. She is believed to be about 6 years old, mellow and affectionate, but protective of her home and family, and will bark at strangers. She isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fond of most other dogs, though possibly could adapt to another gentle dog in a family. She has since been spayed, is current on shots and has microchip identification.

Adopt anytime: contact Maria at 503-812-0105 or tillamookanimalshelter@gmail.com Or come to the United Paws/Tillamook Animal Shelter Adoptathon â&#x20AC;˘ Saturday, Dec. 22, Noon - 3 p.m.
