More charges, reduced bail for Welsh BY JOE WRABEK

LONGEST RUNNING BUSINESS IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY • SINCE 1888

Explosive found at YMCA Building evacuated; small IED enough to ‘blow up a mailbox’ The Tillamook YMCA was evacuated Friday evening, Dec. 14, after an employee discovered a suspicious device that looked like a bomb. A 12-year-old boy was responsible for the explosive device found in the YMCA. The Tillamook Police Department identified the youth, and he admitted to refashioning left-over fireworks to make a device that would

explode. According to Chief Terry Wright, the child did not intend to display or use the device at the YMCA. He showed it to a friend, and it evidently fell out of his bag. He was referred to the juvenile department because of his age. Twelveyear-olds are not arrested, but rather, referred to the juvenile department for

further action. The State Police classified the device as an IED, or improvised explosive device. The Oregon State Police Explosives unit responded to the YMCA about 9 p.m. Friday, and a bomb technician removed the device from the premises after rendering it safe to move. “The State Police said that it would

have enough explosive power to blow up a mailbox or take off a hand; not enough explosive power to blow up a building,” said Tillamook Police Officer James Harrell. The device was discovered by an employee in the gym at around 6:15 p.m., according to YMCA Director Don Schmidt. Schmidt described it as a small, hand-made, cigar-shaped device with what appeared to be fuses protruding from it.

NEHALEM – Anna Welsh of Nehalem was charged with additional Measure 11 crimes, and released on a reduced bail, following a court appearance last week. At a bail reduction hearing Thursday, Dec. 13, Judge ANNA WELSH Mari Trevino reduced Welsh’s bail from $119,000 to $50,000, and eliminated the “full cash” requirement (which applies in Measure 11 cases), allowing Welsh to post 10 percent of $50,000 to be released from jail. Welsh, 31, was arrested for sex crimes involving at least three teenaged males, ages 1516. She was charged with additional crimes at the bail reduction hearing.

Shop with a Cop breaks barriers BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

S

hop with a Cop took place Dec. 15 at the Tillamook Fred Meyer. Sixty Tillamook County kids were paired with local law enforcement personnel and given a $100 gift card to spend on anything their hearts desired. It was an exciting morning at Fred Meyer, the toy aisles full of smiling kids and smiling cops in uniform. Thirty police officers volunteered their time to participate in what has become a heartfelt annual holiday event, where kids not only get to chose things for themselves that they want and need, they also have a chance to interact with kind and patient police officers who want to spend time with them. Fred Meyer, the Tillamook High School Charity Drive and local businesses partner to provide the gift

cards. No public funds are used for this community service project. Rose and Hazel Werner spent the morning shopping with Undersheriff Jana McCandless. The sisters, 9 and 11, started out in the electronics department, where they decided not to purchase a Nintendo DS, because a DS is over $100, and they had $200 to spend between them, and so they would have had to share. “We’re not very good at sharing,” Rose explained. The undersheriff commended her for being honest about it. “Could we get nail polish instead of a DS?” Hazel asked. “Absolutely,” said McCandless. They headed to the toy section, where there was a Barbie sale going on, and the girls were beside themselves with their options.

See COP, Page A12

The Tillamook Fred Meyer was full of men and women in uniform Saturday morning for the Shop with a Cop event. There were city, county, and state police, chaplains, cadets, and officers from outlying cities to the north. All of them, every man and woman in uniform applauded the efforts DAMIAN BOSWELL of one stand-out civilian volunteer, 12-year-old Damian Boswell, who raised almost $400 and used it to purchase bikes and scooters to give to kids who came to Shop with a Cop. Damian has been giving away bikes for half his life. “When I was six we were doing a raffle at my church. They were giving away a bike and I won it! But I already had a bike. There was this other kid, and he looked really sad because he really wanted to win that bike. So I asked, ‘Can I give it to someone?’ I gave the bike to that other kid and it made him really happy because he didn’t have a bike. That was a great feeling. So I wanted to give more bikes after that.”

Tillamook dancers headed to Holiday Bowl BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

It is a heady Christmas season for 16 high school dancers who are preparing for the biggest performance of their lives. The Tillamook School of Dance is headed to San Diego Dec. 26 to perform at the Holiday Bowl game for an audience of 70,000. They’ll be on TV. Mark your calendars to watch the Holiday Bowl game on ESPN at 6:45 p.m. Dec. 27. In fact, the dancers will be on TV twice that day. Before the big game, they’ll perform in the Big Bay Balloon Parade, which will be televised on USA network at 9 a.m. (Check local listings.) The dancers will be the opening act in the parade. Pink Colleknon-Eggert, owner of the Tillamook School of Dance, got the call from the show’s producers, inviting her dancers to perform in the Holiday Bowl. It is a thrilling opportunity, as she well knows, because when she was a high school dancer, and her mom owned the dance school, Pink and her

peers got to dance in the Orange Bowl. “I am so happy to be able take these girls to the Holiday Bowl,“ she said. “They have no idea what it will feel like to perform for an audience of 70,000; but I do, because I danced in the Orange Bowl. These girls deserve it. They work so hard. They dance until they’re bruised, they’re bleeding, they dance when they have sore muscles, pulled muscles, hurt ankles; they push themselves. They dance 6-8 hours a week during the school year, and more in the summer. They’re three-sport athletes, student body officers, they do charity drive; their work ethic is incredible. This is an opportunity for me to ‘pay it forward,’ to give to them something that was given to me at their age.” Mandy Moore, choreographer of the TV show, “So You Think You Can Dance?” provided the choreography for the Holiday Bowl Dance, in the form of music and a video with instructions for each section of the dance.

Tillamook NAPA has new owners who bring to the community generations of auto parts business experience. New co-owners Steve and Dan Davison purchased Tillamook NAPA in November; it is the ninth NAPA auto parts store they own in Oregon. The Davison family has been in the auto parts store business since 1921 and cousins Steve and Dan are the fourth generation to be in the family business. Tillamook NAPA is the first store that expands their auto parts ownership to the northern Oregon coast, something Dan Davison says he's been excited about for a while. We have stores in McMinnville, Carlton, Sheridan, Monmouth, Stayton, Mehama, Woodburn, Reedsport and now Tillamook,” Davison said. “The Tillamook store has been on the radar a long time and we've always been interested.” The Davisons' NAPA stores are privately owned and the NAPA Corporation facilitated the ownership transfer. According to Davison, NAPA Corporate tries to identify people who would be suitable to take over struggling stores. “We have nothing against the former store owner,” Davison said. “I think he did the best he could with what he had, unfortunately it didn't work out.”

Davison wants to assure customers that if owning multiple stores has taught him anything, it's that owning a store is about the community it serves. “I think one concern people have when a business comes in from out of town and buys a business, is that it's going to go very corporate,” Davison said. “They're concerned we'll bring in out of town people and an out of town mentality. That's not our goal. We're very locally minded and we're involved in the communities where our existing stores are now, and Tillamook won't be any different. We plan on being plugged in to the schools and the sports programs and the whole community.” As for the current Tillamook NAPA employees, Davison looks forward to working with them, and doesn't plan to make any staff changes. “The same guys who've been there are going to stay with us, unless they choose to do something else,” Davison said. “We're not coming in trying to overhaul the mentality of how we go about doing things. We want to improve for sure, but we don't want to change the way things have been done. “We've found that Tillamook is a very tight knit community and we don't want to take anything away from that.” Some of the improvements

the Davisons do plan on making to the store aren't about changing how the store runs, but about what and how much product the store carries. “There's a lot of room to improve, Davison said. “It's a very loyal community; we've come to realize and many people want to buy from NAPA. Even if they might have to wait for a part. We don't want them to have to wait anymore. “We've gone through the inventory and one of our main concerns will be getting more items on the shelves. There's been a lot of inventory added so far and there's a lot more to go, but we also know we need to eliminate items that have been on the shelves too long. If products aren't being bought, they don't need to be there.” According to Davison, corporate NAPA is extremely helpful with providing new owners with the tools and any help they need to get a new store or newly purchased store off and running in the right direction and the Tillamook store purchase hasn't been any different. The Davisons are focused on improvement. “With the combination of us improving the store as much as we can, and NAPA supplying some help, this store is coming together nicely, a little bit at a time,” Davison said.

Baertlein and May resign from local port commissions BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

As 2012 draws to a close, there are vacancies on two of Tillamook County’s three port commissions – one in Garibaldi, and one in Tillamook. In Garibaldi, Dave May resigned from the Garibaldi Port Commission Dec. 12. He didn’t cite reasons, port manager Kevin Greenwood said. The Garibaldi commission declared the vacancy at the meeting, Greenwood said, and is hoping to appoint a replacement for May in January. “We want letters of interest by January 2,� Greenwood said. Whoever is appointed will fill out the balance of Dave May’s

term – another three years. The Port of Garibaldi’s bailiwick extends from north of the Wilson River to south of Nedonna Beach, and includes the cities of Bay City, Garibaldi, and Rockaway. Bill Baertlein tendered his resignation from the Port of Tillamook Bay at their meeting Dec. 18. He had been Port Commission president. His resignation is effective Dec. 31 – in January, he’ll be sworn in as a Tillamook County commissioner. Baertlein said he had been advised by the Secretary of State’s office that he couldn’t serve simultaneously as port commissioner and county com-

missioner. “I called them,� Baertlein told the Headlight Herald. “I was concerned.� The Port of Tillamook Bay’s January commission meeting will be chaired by POTB vicepresident Georgine Beveridge. Port manager Michelle Bradley advertised the vacancy Dec. 17, requesting applications and resumes from interested parties by Jan. 17. Whoever is appointed will have to stand for election in May 2013, Bradley said. The Port of Tillamook Bay’s territory extends from South Prairie to Juno Hill, and from Tillamook to Oceanside. Tillamook is the only incorporated city in the district.

Blankets can be dropped off at Aces Bar & Grill, Chinook Winds Casino Resort Marketing Department, Little Antique Mall, North Lincoln Sanitary, Kenny’s IGA North, and the Community Center until Christmas Eve. This annual event feeds people that might otherwise have a bleak and hungry holiday. Families and individuals come together to celebrate the

holiday with Santa for the kids, Christmas music and dinner with all the trimmings. Whether you are among those who help with the dinner, or those that enjoy the meal, it’s a meaningful time for all. Sponsors of this year’s dinner are Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Lincoln City Community Center and North Lincoln Sanitary Service.

Wine, Christmas goodies and holiday decorations marked the grand opening of Rob Trost’s new real estate office in downtown Tillamook Thursday, Dec. 13. The event was promoted by the Coast River Business Journal and the Headlight Herald. Trost’s Tillamook office – the company’s third – is located in the old Thayer Bank building at First and Stillwell. Built in 1895, it’s the oldest still-standing building in Tillamook. (“Bank� is carved in the sandstone over the front door.) After its heyday as a bank, the building had a number of uses over the years, most recently as the headquarters and sales outlet for the Pearl Point Oyster Company. The dozens of electrical outlets in the ceiling are from the building’s “shift� as a sewing factory, years ago. “We kept those,� realtor Wendy Steven said. The office’s overhead lights are simply plugged into some of the ceiling outlets. Steven, who is the daughter of the building’s owners, David and Nancy Dixon, manages Rob Trost’s office in Netarts.

HEADLIGHT HERALD • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2012

News from the Thinking about lottery tickets for your state capitol kids’ holiday stockings? Not a good bet O

regon Lawmakers meet regularly in Salem for Interim Legislative Days. December’s schedule started out as three days, but we ended up putting in a full week at the Capitol, after Governor Kitzhaber called a Special Legislative session for December 14th. The Governor called the session to seek legislative approval for the House Bill 4200 the Economic Impact Investment Act of 2012. The legislation authorizes the Governor to enter into agreements with companies committed to significant job growth and investment within the state. The legislation will allow Oregon’s Governor to enter into qualifying investment contracts with any Oregon business creating 500 new jobs and making $150 million in capital investment over five years. The impetus for the legislation is NIKE, Oregon’s premier company which seeks to expand its operation, but wants some certainty that current tax rules won’t be changed after making significant investments. The timing of a Special Session for the Economic Impact Investment Act 2012 was necessary due to Oregon’s constitution that states that any revenue bill must go into effect 91 days after adjournment of the session in which it was passed. If the bill was approved during the 2013 Legislative session, it could not go into effect until September 2013, and NIKE is ready to commit to its Oregon expansion at this time. Without this commitment from Oregon lawmakers, the Governor was concerned the state might lose the opportunity to keep one of its fortune 500 companies in state. As part of the legislative process, 69 amendments were proposed for HB 4200, and several were approved, one that specifies that the minimum job threshold cannot be satisfied through buying an existing company’s Oregon operations, there must be new jobs created. HB 4200 also has a one-year sunset provision, so this economic strategy will be revisited during the 2013 Regular Legislative Session. Credit goes to Senator Betsy Johnson and Representative Jean Cowan who used the opportunity of lawmakers at the capitol to convene an Oregon Ports Legislative Summit on

Thursday. It was great to have the coastal and river ports so well represented in Salem. Each port had the opportunity to provide Debby Boone status State Representative reports, and I was delighted to hear that ports in House District 32 are well on their way towards implementation of the Statewide Port Strategic Plan. Unfortunately, the need for dredging was a topic of concern for most ports, and representatives from the Corps of Engineers indicated that they are underfunded and don’t have the money for dredging all ports. On a positive note, the Ports Summit was a tremendous opportunity for Port Commissioners and their staff to network, share best practices and find solutions to common problems. This month’s Interim Legislative Days were very busy at the Capitol, as we held long committee meetings and discussed the upcoming 2013 session. Next year’s legislative session convenes in February, and is limited to 160 days. I have already submitted several legislative concepts relating to labeling genetically modified foods, staffing ratios at developmentally disabled residential facilities and bonding authority for seismic upgrades for public building, such as schools, hospitals, city and county administrative headquarters. Other legislation that will be very important to my coastal constituents include expanding the Oregon Farm-to-School program to include fisheries, a Joint Memorial to Congress urging support for marketing Oregon seafood, and completion of seafloor mapping in the territorial sea. As always, I invite you to call, write or email me with your questions and concerns. If you need assistance with state agencies, please contact my office. Some of the best legislation comes from your suggestions, and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading and for the privilege of serving you in the Oregon House of Representatives.

BY MARY ANN DEARBORN, LCSW, CPS Problem Gambling Prevention Coordinator for Tillamook County, Tillamook Family Counseling Center

Today’s is the first generation to grow up in a society where gambling is widely accepted and gambling activities are commonplace. Did you know that research indicates that youth problem gambling rates are 2-4 times higher than those of adults? Surveys of Oregon teens tell us that drugs, alcohol and gambling often travel together, yet many parents say “they just don’t see” their kids gambling, or they see gambling as a relatively safe pastime and encourage it as an alternative activity. The 2010 Tillamook County data tells us a different story: Gambling is the number one youth risk behavior for 6th, 8th and 11th graders in our county. In Tillamook County, nearly 40 percent of 6th graders surveyed and 50 percent of 8th and 11th graders surveyed reported gambling in the past 30 days. Tillamook County youth surveyed who reported gambling also reported higher than adult rates for lying about their betting, spending more time or money gambling than they wanted to, and feeling they can’t stop gambling when they want to stop. Both kids and adults can get caught up in gambling – a behavior that is associated with significant problems. What many people don’t realize is that gambling can be as addictive as alcohol or other drugs for some people – and expos-

ing youth to gambling increases the risk of the youth becoming addicted to gambling as an adult. Here’s why the adolescent brain and gambling or substance use are a bad combination: • The brain’s frontal lobes (where decisions and judgments are made) is not fully developed until the third decade of life; • The adolescent brain routes decision making through the amygdala (emotion center of the brain), resulting in fight, flight, freeze or freak out responses; • The adolescent brain is especially vulnerable to risk taking and impulsivity (seeking fun and easy entertainment); • The adolescent brain is more sensitive to the effects of dopamine, the “feel good” chemical (neurotransmitter) in the brain that becomes activated by exposure to alcohol or other drugs, gambling, highintensity media, food and sex. Gambling is more widely accessible to youth than substances and unlike substances there is no saturation point, so gambling can go on and on in

• Be clear about your own values but avoid sweeping statements (all gambling is bad) or threats (if I ever catch you betting...). Kids feel immortal, so scaring them doesn’t work, and threats invite rebellion. • Emphasize and model balance and choice. If your own gambling, or that of a family member, is getting out of hand or setting a bad example get connected with help. In Oregon, that help is free, confidential – and it works (call 1-877-MY-LIMIT or visit www.1877.mylimit.org). As adults, we play the most important role in the prevention of problem gambling behaviors in our kids. Think twice about your own gambling behavior. Make another choice if you are thinking of buying kids any one of the hundreds of advertised gambling products. And skip the Lottery ticket for their stocking. A better gift is helping your kids understand the best bets in life aren’t made in card games, on the internet or with a Lottery ticket.

a wide range of venues through various means (online, mobile phones, throughout the community), often without others being aware of the behavior until serious problems develop. Oregon Health Education content has been revised to require inclusion of content on gambling, yet, based on the findings from Tillamook County students surveyed, parents and teachers talk less to youth about gambling than substance use. We can do better. The most important thing we can do is to talk to our kids about gambling, as we would any other risky behaviors, using these simple guidelines: • Notice opportunities to discuss gambling. Help your kids make sense out of what they see on television, in the news and in the community. • Discuss rules and expectations for behavior with your children and follow through on consequences. • Be specific and concrete. When you talk about gambling, mention examples: buying a lottery ticket, betting on a sports event, playing bingo, etc.

Who controls the rivers? As a property owner on the banks of the Nestucca River, I and some of my neighbors are concerned with actions by some citizens who seem to think the river belongs to those who use it. Nature has a big role in how the river flows and no man has any control over the amount of rain that falls. We recognize the value of fish habitat that nature, and some well-qualified people, have put into place. When nature falls a tree

into the river, it is not the responsibility of the user of the river to arbitrarily cut the tree, allowing it to flow down further into the stream. This can cause bank erosion and cause homes to loose their foundations. To those who use their chain saws to further advance their pleasure of the river, I say: It is against the law to willfully cause large trees to go into the stream! Think before you act!!!!

Healing minds and souls will prevent violence I was sickened beyond belief when the massacre of all the victims in Connecticut hit the news. I believe this extreme and murderous behavior is becoming increasingly prevalent in North America. Many advocate increased firearm regulation, or banning violent video games, but I think we need to pay attention

to the bigger problem. In the past two centuries, we have made unbelievable inroads into physical health care, increasing live expectancy and quality of life for us all. However, we have barely scratched the surface on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental health problems. Addiction, abuse, unpredictable violent behavior--these plague us and have, I believe, at their root behavioral problems and psychosis which largely go undiagnosed and untreated. In an Oregonian article Saturday by William Glaberson, released by the New York Times News Service, entitled "Mass Killers Often Display Red Flags," he references a NY Times analysis in 2000 of what was known about 102 people who had committed 100 rampage killings at schools, job sites and public places like malls. Most had left (obvious clues) of who, when & where they would attack. In 34 of the cases, worried friends or family members had desperately sought help in advance, only to

be rebuffed by the police, school officials or mental health workers. In the same paper, an editorial asks "What constitutes meaningful action (to prevent tragedies like this)? It's hard to settle on a prevention strategy when each killer's biography hints at a unique misery." Would that we could recognize, treat and even prevent such unique miseries before they evolve into mass murder. As a society, we must focus on more funding and greater emphasis on early detection and treatment of psychosis and behavioral disorders, even at the pre-school level. Healing minds & souls is the bigger picture solution.

Openings, closings at Second Street Market

VACUUM

CLEANERS

BY JOSIAH DARR sports@orcoastnews.com

CLOSE OUT

Second Street Market is home to many different small businesses and over the last few months some of those businesses are expanding, while others are leaving entirely. Long time Second Street Market business 'Local Dog House' owned and operated by Debbi and Ray Hartford is doing so well selling handmade wrapped wieners at the Second Street Market, they're looking for more venues for distribution. “We're in a busy time of the year with selling at the high school sporting events and we've picked up quite a few venues to sell our dinner rolls and breakfast sandwiches besides the dogs,� said owner Ray Hartfort. “It's been unique; we've been growing and we're hoping to move over the hill, maybe into the Astoria area.� What's the draw to Astoria?

“We know we sell a lot of pigs when Astoria comes to Tillamook for high school games. It's about three times the sales.� While Hartford's business is doing well and growing out of their location in the Second Street Market, the market hasn't been the ideal location for Tapestry Rose Yarn Annex and Full Circle Cafe, owned by Colleen Smith. Those businesses are leaving the location. “We were doing fine and I'm not happy about leaving Tillam-

LETTERS: in the food service industry depend on our customers and the tips that they leave to pay our bills. We ensure this by giving you the best service, never making you wait for refills, extra napkins and every possible need you might have. We always have a smile on our faces and only want to make sure that you, your family and friends have the best food, service and experience. We fulfill every little request you have even if at times it is demeaning to us. We clear your dirty plates the minute you are finished. We ask how the family is doing and actually care. When it comes to paying for your meal you need to consider what percentage of a tip you are leaving. 20% of your entire bill should be left for your server as a tip, anything less means that your food wasn't good or the service wasn't up to par. We that work in this business have to claim at least 12% of our gross sales to the government for tips. So if your bill is $50 and you leave $2 you just cost us money. I know that everyone's checkbooks are tight and extra money is hard to come by, however, serving you is how we make our money. If you get a waitress that is inattentive and rude then it is understandable to not leave 20%. Most of us only work part time because that is all the hours that are available to us. Some of us are also full time college students trying to pay our way through school. Others are single parents and the only jobs we can find in this economy is serving you. Just because you have extra cash in your pocket doesn't mean that you can afford to go out and eat. I don't mind serving you and your family, but I

ook, but we want to continue to grow and it wasn't feasible to stay there,� Smith said. “We looked all over Tillamook for a different suitable location, but couldn't find anything, and if you can't grow, you're dying. But we haven't given up on Tillamook. We're still hoping for a Tillamook option.� Fortunately for coffee and drink customers, new business Otis Girls Sammiches moved into Second Street Market in November. “When I heard the Full Cir-

cle was closing I wanted to provide smoothies and espresso,� said owner of Otis Girls Sammiches, Darlynn Otis. “I've always had a dream of serving “sammiches,� said Otis. “So far the business is operated by me and and my daughters, and it's been great.� Now that the smoothie and espresso gap has been filled, there's still a matter of what businesses will take over the area left by the cafe and the yarn shop. According to Second Street

Market board member Sue Miller, as of right now, there's a gal who's interested in selling jewelry, but they don't have an agreement at this point. “December is a horrible time,� Miller said. “Businesses come and go all the time, and it just happened to be a time when there's more going than coming. But we're working with the Small Business Administration and the college to see what new business are out there and I'm sure we'll fill them up.�

folks: paying bills, buying houses, raising children, seeing grandchildren born, putting down a companion pet, visiting relatives, sharing holidays, and yes, even arguing over who puts out the garbage. All we want is to be able to stand, hand-in-hand, in front of our friends and family and celebrate our commitment to each other and have the same legal recognition as everyone else. Much like Margaret Amick, I don't see how this will affect your marriage, the 'institution' of marriage, or the 'ideal' of marriage. Some will be long-lived, some will not. Some will be blissful, others may sour. Kind of like most marriages, don't you think?

time), think twice before you leave it. As for the people who do use the carts and take them back, I respect you because you respect the property of a company. This store could make a rule by saying no one can take any cart from the property but the manager knows that most of their customers live and walk near this store and cannot carry a cart full of groceries home. (I bet he also expects the carts to be returned.) Please, please take them back.

Rainy Day Books. My problem is this, the obituary section is a sacred place held for the obituaries of people that have passed away; fathers, mothers, children..etc. If I had a family member listed that week alongside an obit for a cat, I would have been seeing red. A pet owner has every right to mourn the loss of their animal in a special way and celebrate their life. I noticed in this week’s paper someone took the correct action and placed a memorial ad for their dog that had passed. Please respect the obituary section and leave it for our family and friends that pass on and don't use it for animals. To me it just shows a blatant disregard for human life.

REALLY Know the Wood Stove Law I wonder how many letters you have received from alarmed homeowners like me who read Mr. Reid’s letter, “Know the Wood Stove Law� (Dec. 11). Apparently he did not know it well enough. If the wood stove is certified by the EPA to meet emission standards, it can stay in, and be sold with the house. I expect most stoves sold in the last 20 plus years are certified. Look for an EPA sticker on the back of the stove that says so. Using a flashlight and mirror I found one on my stove. Google “Oregon wood stove law� for details. Wood burning furnaces and ornate, antique woodstoves are also exempt.

The wintertime edition of this event takes place Dec. 26 – 30 It’s almost that time of year again. No, not Christmas; we’re talking Winter Whale Watch Week at 24 sites along the entire length of the Oregon coast, where trained volunteers will be present to show visitors the gray whales. This year’s event is slated December 26-30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the designated sites This is not the only time you can see the whales, but during this period you actually receive help in doing so. About 18,000 gray whales will pass by in roughly four weeks, from midDecember to mid-January, and the same locations (see map and sidebar) are still great viewing spots. Generally, the higher the site the better the viewing. Whale watching takes place almost year-round on the Oregon coast. Spring watching begins in March, when another Whale Watch Week is scheduled March 23-30. The number of whales peaks the last week and finishes in June with mothers and babies being the last whales traveling north. Summer brings whales that feed along the coast from July to mid-November. With trained volunteers at "Whale Watching Spoken Here" sites, visitors receive help spotting gray whales during the winter and spring annual migrations, in addition to receiving information about their migration. The main body of whales is about fives mile offshore, but some can be seen as close as one to two miles off shore. During the southern migration whales seldom stop to eat, but travel steadily to the Baja lagoons of Mexico. Winter migration has the highest numbers (30 per hour) but the whales are usually farther offshore because of stormy weather. Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. Focus your binoculars and have them ready, but watch with your eyes. When you locate a blow, peer through your binoculars for a closer look. Gray whales are noted for their 12,000-mile annual migration from the Arctic Ocean to Mexico in the winter and their return north in the spring. Whalers nicknamed the grays whales

"Devil Fish" because they fought so hard to defend their babies. Today, they are best known for being friendly to people. In the 1600s and 1700s, gray whales in the Atlantic were hunted to extinction. They were hunted almost to extinction two different times in the Pacific Ocean. Starting early in the 1900s, the birthing lagoons were protected by the Mexican government. The United Nations joined in the protection in 1935, as did the International Whaling Commission in 1946, but the moratorium against whaling wasn't started until 1986. The grays made a good recovery and were taken off the endangered list in 1994, but are still threatened. The only natural predators of gray whales are Orcas (killer whales) and large sharks. Even though some countries are

still whaling, the biggest threat to the whales is pollution in the oceans. The reason for the migration south is to give birth to their young in the warm, calm bays of Mexico. Gray whale babies are 15 feet long and weigh 2,000 at birth and can grow up to 45 feet long and weigh 70,000 pounds. They return north and spend the summer feeding in the Bering and Chukchi Seas seldom eat during migration. About 200 gray whales don't continue to Alaska, but remain along the Oregon coast to feed. The Oregon coast produces plenty of phytoplankton (small marine plants), which are eaten by zooplankton (small marine animals), including bottom dwelling amphipods and mysid shrimp, the primary food of the whales.

The annual Bill Hagerty Invitational wrestling tournament held at Nestucca High School on Dec. 15 was just like it has been so many times before. Excellent wrestlers coming together in Cloverdale to duke it out in their perspective weight classes, hoping to improve their skills on the way to a tournament championship. With North Marion, Seaside, Gladstone and Ilwaco among the ten teams at the meet, there wasn't going to be any shortage of good wrestlers and chances to improve. According to the tournament host, Bobcat head coach Cameron Mitchem, the meet went as smoothly as possible and he got great effort out of his wrestlers. “We had a lot of guys wrestle very well,� Mitchem said. “Because of our low number of wrestlers, we have a lot of guys who are younger and inexperienced and should probably be wrestling JV, but we're throwing them in the varsity ranks, and they're holding their own. “The best part is, you can see the drive in these guys even if they're losing matches. If we get a little more work done on our skills, some of these kids are

regionals,� Mitchem said of his inexperienced senior. Ryan Leslie on the other hand, is only a freshman, but a very good wrestler for his age, and Coach Mitchem expects some good things from him as he polishes up his game. “He's making a few mistakes that he could get away with at the junior high level and these better wrestlers are catching him, but if he cleans up a little he's going to beat some very good wrestlers,� Cody Fouche wrestled well and ended the tournament in fifth place, but has the potential to improve even more as the season goes on according to Mitchem. When asked about the future of the program this season, Mitchem was very optimistic. No about districts because of the low number of Bobcat wrestlers, but at state if he can get a few of his top wrestlers healthy. “Lucas Leslie and Sam Kenagy are two of my best and neither wrestled at this meet,� Mitchem explained. “But, when they're back, if they can qualify for state along with a few other wrestlers, we're going to make some noise at the end of the season.� The Bobcats will take a short brake before their next meet at Central on Dec. 21 and at the Freeberry Tournament on Dec. 29.

going to start turning the corner and winning some matches against good wrestlers.� While Mitchem has some guys that are still learning, he also has a few guys who are expected to win a lot of matches this season and a few of them did at the Hagerty Invitational. Nathan Parks had a great meet and made his way to the finals at 160 pounds where he finished in second place, but did beat the second and third seed on his way to the final match. “Nathan stepped up, as an upperclassman, and made it to the finals,� Mitchem said. “Now all he's got to do is get the win next time. He's a good example of a kid who's growing up each time he's on the mat.� Also competing well for the Bobcats were senior Austin Woods, Cody Fouche and freshman Ryan Leslie. Woods hasn't wrestled since eighth grade and has played basketball instead, but he decided to double up and try his hand at wrestling again. Despite his lack of recent experience, his athleticism and strength overwhelmed opponents and Woods took sixth place at 170 pounds. “With a little more work on technique, he's going to score some points for us at district and

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports The Mook wrestlers were looking for their toughest competition of the year when they traveled to Grants Pass on Dec. 14-15. They knew they would be taking on some of the best wrestlers in the state at the 2012 Grants Pass Winter Kickoff. The Cheesemakers only brought 18 wrestlers to the event for the 14 weight classes knowing there was only going to be room for the best wrestlers the Cheesemakers had. Fortunately they did manage to get the extra wrestlers in the meet for more mat time which paid off for Tillamook. The Cheesemakers, a 4A school in the midst of 36 schools of all sizes entered in the tournament, took fourth place overall. A result that Tillamook head coach Lonnie Eggert thinks it’s satisfactory for now, but not the best Tillamook is capable of. “With the kids we took to the meet, we did pretty good,� Eggert said. The problem for Tillamook was they were without a few of their top wrestlers. Marcus Cheney, Jake Fowler and Ron Allen all were sidelined with sickness or injury and the three of them are some of Tillamook's top scorers. “Wrestling meets are like horse races,� Eggert said. “We can't go out there and win when some of our best thoroughbreds are in the stable instead of on the track.� While Tillamook lost some points not having three of their better wrestlers on the mat, their fourth place finish proves the wrestlers they did have were up to snuff. Four different Cheesemakers made it to the semifinals: Billy Prince, Zach Motsinger, Victor Martinez and Justin Coon.

Hurlimans score with Midda’s Gold Touch Page A8 - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, December 19 - Headlight Herald

Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook is known for it's abundance of dairy cows, but Tillamook has also produced a very talented race horse named Midda's Gold Touch owned by locals, George and Rose Hurliman and their business Hurliman Enterprises LLC. Midda’s Gold Touch took a little time to figure the racing game out, and broke his maiden in his fourth career start at Portland Meadows back in November of 2010. He took his first run at an Oregon Championship Day stakes event just a month later when he ran third in the Bill Wineberg Stakes. Midda's Gold Touch is being trained for the Hurlimans by expert trainers Debbie Fergason and her husband Rolland out of Brush Prairie, WA. As of now, the Hurlimans couldn't be happier with their trainers and the results their horse is producing. “We've been very proud of Rolland and Debbie,” said horse owner Rose

SUBMITTED PHOTO Midda’s Gold Touch is a treasure for Hurliman Enterprises.

Hurliman. “They've been our trainers for many years and we think very highly of them.” The Fergasons have been owning and training racehorses in Oregon for decades and have had great success over the years at Portland Meadows, including success on Oregon Championship Day. Midda’s Gold Touch is a four time stakes winner at Portland Meadows including a win in last spring’s OHBPA

Handicap going a mile. He came back this summer and made his debut in a very tough edition of the Inaugural Handicap and sputtered to a fifth place finish. He then dropped down into an allowance race his next time out on August 12th and finished a well beaten fourth. “He seems to prefer sprinting,” said Rolland Ferguson. “He can route, in fact he put up the fastest route time of the last season, but his bread and butter is sprinting.” Midda's Gold Touch is in the middle of a great career and will be shipped to Arizona in the near future to continue his racing career, but the Hurlimans’ have other horses coming up they have very high hopes for. “Midda's Gold Touch's father is Harbor The Gold and he's the leading sire in Oregon,” Hurliman said. “We have three yearlings from him waiting to be broken and we think we have a lot of potential coming up.”

Lady Bobcats continue to improve with every game Headlight Herald Sports

The Nestucca Lady Bobcats' Northwest League season was in full swing last week when they had back-to-back league road games at Riverdale on Dec. 11 and at Knappa on Dec. 14. The girls were much better in the second game against Knappa than they were in the first against Riverdale, but they were unable to get a win in either game. Lady Cats @ Riverdale “They were a very athletic and competitive team,” said Lady Cat head coach Yazminn

Thompson about the Riverdale Mavericks. “A river can never rise higher than it's source, so playing competitive teams like that will make us better. The girls played great and gave the best they could.” While Thompson was happy with her team's heart and effort, the lopsided game went in favor of the Mavericks, 57-17. Jackie Wilkinson, Patricia Hedrick and Lacy Boise were a few of the Bobcats who scored in the game and according to Thompson, intimidation was her team’s biggest problem. “We talked after the game

and we decided we broke down and didn't run the plays like we know how, because we agreed we were intimidated,” Thompson said. Lady Cats @ Knappa When the Lady Cats headed to Knappa, they were sitting at 1-2 in league play; a win to get them back to .500 in league would be big. In the first half, they played like they might get that win, but in the second half things started getting out of hand. “We lost it in the third quarter,” Thompson said. The Loggers opened up a healthy lead and got the win, 45-12 over the Bobcats. Despite taking the loss, the Lady Cats got a great game from Marissa Dempsey. Dempsey ended the game with seven points, a lot of which came from outside the key where she usually lives. “Being one of my posts,

Marissa hit a lot of outside shots,” Thompson said. “I was really impressed with her shooting.” “Kycie Richwine has also done a heck of a job this season for us and has become quite the ball handler. I see her improve every day.” Also getting some much needed experience were sophomores Sierra Gerber and Shauna Cox in the fourth quarter. “After the game a lot of parents came up to me and said it looked like the best game the girls had played so far this season. We're still working on some ball skills and passing, but I think we have unlimited potential.” After their non-league home game against Santiam on Dec. 18 t they'll play on the road at Jewell on Dec. 19 and then get back into league at Neah-Kah-Nie on Dec. 21.

Lady Mooks drop two straight

Central’s defense was all over Tillamook at home.

Headlight Herald Sports

The Lady Cheesemakers had tough games ahead when their schedule sent them to Molalla on Dec. 11 followed by hosting an extremely good Central team three days later. The girls from Tillamook hung in there through the first half against Molalla but eventually fell to the Indians, 61-45. Then, when the Panthers came to Tillamook the Lady Mooks were badly outmatched and were beat on their home court, 58-17. Tillamook @ Molalla If there was one thing against the Indians that really hurt Tillamook it was their rebounding. On paper it didn't seem that bad with Tillamook only being out rebounded by two at 30 to 28. But it was the offensive rebounds that killed them. 11 of the Indians 30 rebounds were offensive and led to quick second chance points in the paint. “The key to this game was we needed to win the battle on the boards and we didn't,” said Lady Mooks head coach Danielle Weber. Keleigh Hoopes did have a good night for Tillamook scoring 23 of Tillamook's 45 points and adding nine rebounds, but it wasn't enough. Even with another six points from Taylor Woods and five from Kaylin Hammond. In the fourth Tillamook tried to play catch up, but Molalla was 9-11 from the free throw line and didn't give them a chance. Tillamook lost to the

Indians, 45-61. “They did what they had to, to pull away,” Weber said. “And we shot 21 of 44 from the free throw line. Making more of those completely changes the game.” Tillamook vs Central “I don't have much to say about that one,” Weber said with disgust. “They were much quicker than us and that was the key to everything. If we made a pass to an open girl, they'd step in the way before the ball got there.” Central was rolling in the first half, leading at halftime 359. Tillamook did play a much better second half, only giving up 19 points, but they couldn't ever get the offense needed to threaten. Central fairly well dominated the game and got the win, 5817. Despite the blow out loss, Coach Weber did have a few things she saw that she liked from the girls. “With this team we are going to play zone defense most the time and we'd just learned a 1-22 zone in practice the day before the Central game. We used it for the first time in the second half and did it very well considering we just learned it.” The Lady Cheesemakers will try to recover from the Central loss when they go to Philomath on Dec. 18 and they play in the Driftwood Classic at Neah-KahNie on Dec. 28-29.

Tillamook Cheesemaker basketball waiting for everything to come together

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, December 19 - Page A9

Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook Cheesemakers were coming off a solid win at home against Stayton when they traveled to Molalla five days later to take on the Indians. Molalla had a very tall six-foot seven-inch center that caused some problems for Tillamook, but a change in their defense kept him in check. Tillamook was right there with Molalla at halftime and only trailed by three at 18-15. Molalla hit five threes as a team which always seemed to come at just the right time to keep them in the lead. Four of those threes came in the fourth quarter. “It was a grinder of a game,” said Tillamook coach Greg Werner. Tillamook trailed going into the fourth quarter and began to foul to stop the clock and hopefully catch up. The Indians had other ideas going 6-6 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter

to go along with their 10-11 from the stripe in the game. “I thought we played good defense, but we were lacking scoring,” Werner said. “We only got scoring from three guys in the game.” David Waud had 12 for Tillamook and Nate McRae had 14 while Joey Hancock was the other scorer with six. But Hancock didn't score until the fourth quarter and all his points came on two three pointers. Tillamook vs. Central The Cheesemakers were back on their home court after falling to Molalla to take on the always talented Central Panthers. The sixth ranked Panthers coming to town certainly got the attention of the Cheesemakers who showed up ready to play and play hard. “It's always about match ups and we already knew they were going to attack the paint,” Werner explained. “Our guys were ready, they stuck with the plan and they played well as a unit.”

The Bobcat boys basketball team was still looking for their first league win of the season when they traveled to league opponents Riverdale and Knappa last week. The boys needed a league win in the worst way to get back on track, but they were left still wanting after losing both games.

Bobcats @ Knappa “This game was a little more disappointing because I thought we had a good shot at beating them before the game got started,” Kiser said. The variable Kiser and the Bobcats didn't account for was the Loggers shooting the ball so well. “They must have shot 80percent in the first half and the ones that didn't go in, they'd rebound and put back in. The Loggers lead stretched to 46-20 at half. The 'Cats kept at it, but couldn't recover from the 26 point halftime deficit. “We outscored them in the second half and the guys played all four quarters without ever calling it quits,” Kiser said. “It was nice to see them working and playing so hard from start to finish.” Max Kirkendal had another good game scoring with a career best, 18 points. The Bobcats will look for their first league win on Dec. 21 at Neah-Kah-Nie after they play a non-league game on Dec. 19 at Jewell.

Bobcats @ Riverdale The Bobcats were forced to take on the Mavericks without very talented freshman Brett Elder who was out with an injury. Elder's size was missed because Riverdale was big according to Bobcat coach Jim Kiser. “I think they're the biggest sized team in out league,” Kiser said. “But, we did rebound better than I thought we would.” The game was close at half with Bobcats trailing 2518, but the second half was rough for Nestucca. In the third quarter the Mavericks outscored Nestucca 16-8 to open up a lead and Nestucca couldn't recover in the fourth. The Mavericks won the game, 53-36 despite some good scoring from Joey Chatelain and Max Kirk-

MOOK:

Prince took fifth place at 182 pounds and Motsinger took fourth place at 285 pounds. Martinez took fifth place at 220 pounds and Coon won the championship at 106 pounds.

Coon, a freshman, has been wrestling well for Tillamook and it wasn't a surprise to Eggert that he took first place. “He's been good for us all season,” Eggert said about his very tough freshman. “We just have to make sure we're all healthy and at the peak of our ability at the right time.” The Cheesemakers next big meet will be at Central High School in Independence on Dec. 21.

good job buying into that. “If we can play with those guys right now, we're making good strides.” Tillamook certainly is playing at a high level right now, but their competition has been stiff. If the Cheesemaker can keep their heads up and keep working hard, they should be okay when the season ends. “It will all come together sooner or later,” Werner said. “You can't ever know when it's going to click and everything starts to seem easy. What I do know is this group is conceptually starting to get it and the game is slowing down for them.” Werner also made note that in sports, it's not about where you start the season, but it’s about where you finish it. Tillamook will look for their second win of the season when they play at No. 12 Philomath on Dec. 18 and then at home on Dec. 21 against the No. 2 La Salle Falcons.

SPORTS BRIEFS Pirate Basketball The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates boys and girls basketball team had a slow week last week, only playing one game on the road at Riverdale on Dec. 14. The Lady Pirates were up first and were looking god through the first half. They only trailed the Mavericks 18-19 at half. But in the second half the Pirates were outscored 25-10 and lost the game, 4428. The boys didn't fare much better against the Maverick men. The Pirates simply couldn't score and trailed 23-4 at halftime, eventually losing 47-21. Both teams will be at home their next two games, one on Dec. 18 against Gaston and the other on Dec. 21 versus Nestucca. Following those Northwest League games, the Pirates will host the Driftwood Classic Tournament on Dec. 28-29 in Rockaway Beach. “Fight for Your Future” MMA fights on Dec. 21 On Dec. 21 Blend of Zen will be hosting the “Fight for Your Future” martial arts tournament at the Tillamook Fairgrounds.

According to Werner, the thing that hurt Tillamook worst in the game, was giving up too many offensive rebounds. Tillamook was 10-17 from the free throw line in the game while Central was 14-18 from the stripe, but as the game tightened up and Tillamook tried to foul in the fourth, Central was clutch. The Panthers were 11-12 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, not giving the Cheesemakers much of a chance to close the gap. In the end, it was too much Central and they beat the Cheesemakers 55-44. “This game would have been a little different had we shot free throws better,” Werner added. Tillamook fell to 1-3 on the season going into Christmas break, but coach Werner isn't worried about his team's record. He's more worried about their mentalities. “We have to forget about the record right now,” Werner said. “We need to focus on getting better every day and I think my guys are doing a

ness crab season in Oregon will be delayed through Dec. 30. The ocean commercial Dungeness crab season along the Oregon coast normally opens on Dec. 1, but can be delayed to ensure a high-quality product to consumers and avoid wastage of the resource. Coast-wide crab quality testing showed some test areas did not meet minimum preseason test criteria. Fishery managers met today and decided to further delay the opening through Dec. 30 to allow crab quality to improve. In Oregon, crabbers will be allowed to begin setting their gear in the ocean for a gear pre-soaking period starting at 8:01 a.m. on Dec. 28 and start harvesting crab at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 31.

Hazel chose a red headed doll from “Brave” and a candidate Barbie, dressed in a suit, ready to run for political office. Hazel showed her Barbie choices to McCandless. “This Barbie is the president,” Hazel said, referring to the candidate Barbie. “Oh, those are very good choices,” McCandless told her. “You have President Barbie and Brave Barbie, two strong females with important jobs.” Hazel’s posture visibly straightened with McCandless’ praise. McCandless helped the girls pick out bike helmets, but she didn’t tell them why. If they wondered, they didn’t let on. When they were done shopping she led them to have their pictures taken in front of two shiny, new bikes. She told the girls the bikes were for them, too. The sisters were wide-eyed in the way that we all hope kids will be at Christmas. The bikes were donated by 12-year-old Damian Boswell, who spends all year collecting donations to purchase new bikes and scooters to give to kids at Christmas. Across the store, Tillamook

Tillamook County Undersheriff Jana McCandless with sisters Hazel and Rose Werner.

Police Chief Terry Wright accompanied a gaggle of girls who were clothes shopping, and Detective Paul Fournier waited patiently outside a dressing room while his ‘tween’ shopper tried on clothes to wear to a Christmas dance. When she emerged, he asked her if she wanted something else to go with her new outfit, maybe a necklace. He browsed jewelry with her as if he had all the time in the world.

Children were chosen for the Shop with a Cop program who may have had stressful or scary exposure to police in the past, for instance, children who have had a parent or family member arrested. The Shop with a Cop program aims to expose children to police in the role police don’t get to perform as often as they’d like: friendly neighborhood peace officers.

The Tillamook dancers have been practicing the dance for seven weeks, and they feel like they’re “almost ready.” Dance schools from around the country were invited to perform under the direction of Mandy Moore. When they arrive in San Diego on December 26 they’ll go directly to the stadium, where all 350 dancers will come together for the first time, and practice until Moore is satisfied that they’re ready to perform. “We’ll practice from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. if that’s how long it takes. All of the schools will know the dance; it will be a matter of coming together as a group.” The girls are excited about working with Moore, who is a star in the dance world, and they’re also excited to meet other dancers from all over country “who

Continued from Page A1

like the same things we do.” They’ll sleep for a few hours, and then get up early to perform in the parade. After the parade it’s off to the stadium to get ready for the bowl game. They’ll perform in “gorgeous red sequined dresses with headdresses.” They don’t know yet where they’ll be in the formation, but their goal is to be in front. “We’re going to have to prove ourselves when we get there,” said Mackensi Naegeli, a freshman who has been dancing with the school for 12 years, since she was three. “We have to smile big, really turn it on. You have to get noticed if you want to be in front.” “Look for the tall blonde with the big smile,” said Pink, referring to Kennady Johnson, a senior this year and 12 year dance student, who does stand out with

both her stature and her smile. Kennady wants to go to O.S.U. next year, and be on the dance team there. She’ll get an idea of dancing beyond high school on Dec. 28, the day after the game, when the Tillamook dancers will spend the day in a dance workshop with Mandy Moore and the San Diego Chargers cheerleaders. “I feel so lucky to get the chance to do this,” said Kennady. “It’s a chance we’ll probably never get again in our lives,” said Mackensi. They plan to take full advantage of it. After this story went online we learned that Dance Zone in Tillamook is also going to the Holiday Bowl. We’ll review the Holiday Bowl performance with Dance Zone dancers when they return from San Diego.

Every year for the last five years Damian has saved enough money from “pop cans, birthday money, and any other money I received through the year” to buy a bike for a kid who didn’t have one. He gives them away at the Shop with a Cop event. Last year he raised enough for a bike and a scooter, and that inspired him to set a new goal. “I sent out letters to all my grandma’s friends, and my dad’s friends, and my step mom’s friends, asking for donations so I could buy two bikes to give to kids for Christmas this year. I raised $396.73. I was able to buy seven bikes and three scooters. That was more than my goal. It’s awesome. It feels really good.” Damian lives in Tualatin, where he attends Hazelbrook Middle School. His grandma, Dodie Gillespie, works for the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office in community corrections, and Damian became involved with the Shop with a Cop

program with his grandma. She volunteers for Shop with a Cop, and she thought this would be a good fit for Damian, who wants to give away bikes to kids less fortunate than himself. Damian has since been adopted as a Sheriff’s Office volunteer and VIP. They gave him an old Tillamook County Sheriff’s Deputy uniform with his name on the chest, and an antique Sheriff’s Office star. He wears them proudly. He helped kids shop Saturday, pushing a toddler in a shopping cart while her siblings picked out toys. He took a break to see two young girls, Rose and Hazel Werner, 9 and 11, receive bikes he donated. The girls thanked him and hugged him. Later Damian said, “I kinda just wish that everyone’s happy. I hope the kids that got the bikes are happy, and that they have a good Christmas.”

Current charges include four counts of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct; these are Measure 11 crimes, which carry mandatory sentencing. Other charges include: four counts of luring a minor; three counts of sex abuse in the third degree, and one count of sodomy in the third degree. Welsh is the mother of three young children. Until recently she was 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 Office, Welsh is accused of engaging in sex acts with at least one of the victims, and also in sending and requesting pornographic images of the victims via electronic means. Welsh’s release was conditional: she will be under house arrest, with 24-hour “third party”

supervision (Welsh’s husband and father-in-law were named as the supervisors), she is forbidden access to cell phones or computers, and not allowed to go to parks or schools. Contact with her own children is allowed at the discretion of the State Dept. of Human Services. Welsh posted $5,000 bail Dec. 14, and was released to her third-party supervisors. Her next appearance in court is set for Jan. 14.

Jackie and Dale Buck inducted into OFB Hall of Fame During the 80th annual Oregon Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Salem, Dec. 4-6, OFB President Barry Bushue and OFB Executive Vice President Dave Dillon inducted OFB Board of Directors member Dale Buck and his wife Jackie Buck, both of Tillamook County Farm Bureau, into the OFB Hall of Fame in recognition of their years of exemplary service and leadership in Farm Bureau and for the betterment of Oregon agriculture. The Hall of Fame, established in 1996, is the highest award given by Oregon Farm Bureau. To be eligible, candidates must be nominated by their county Farm Bureau and must have at least 35 years of active involvement in the organization. The OFB Membership & Recognition Committee selects inductees. The Bucks are the 23rd and 24th Farm Bureau members to be inducted into the

OFB Hall of Fame. In 1932, Dale Buck was born into a farm family in Idaho, and his family moved to Oregon in 1945. His career in Oregon agriculture began with work at a large farm operation near Amity, and with his own herd of sheep. “For someone who would go on to help explain the most impenetrable government jargon to farmers and ranchers, Dale’s three years as a cryptologist in the Army in Korea turned out to be outstanding preparation,” said Bushue in his induction speech. After his service in the Army, Dale studied drafting and worked for a civil engineering firm in Portland. During that time, he met a woman who worked at a local bank. Jackie would end up being Dale’s wife for 58 years. After marrying, farm life beckoned again to Dale, and the Bucks left the city to rent a dairy operation in Tillamook County.

Jackie and OFB Board member Dale Buck (center left and right) of Tillamook County Farm Bureau were inducted into the OFB Hall of Fame by OFB President Barry Bushue (far right) and OFB Executive Vice President Dave Dillon (far left) on Dec. 6, 2012, at the OFB Annual Meeting in Salem. Over the next three years, they bought cows and equipment, and by 1967, purchased their own farm. For 30 years, Dale worked as a dairyman and was active in his local creamery co-op. For many years, a photograph of Dale hung prominently in the co-op’s visitor center, giving a face to the proud families behind Oregon agriculture. “Since his 1996 retirement, Dale has probably only increased his workload as a well-known and highly respected Farm Bureau advocate for farm and ranch families across Oregon,” said Bushue. “His expertise in fisheries, forestry, fill and removal, navigability, clean water regulations, DSL, EPA, Corps of Engineers, and countless other issues is legendary.” Dale serves on the OFB Board of Directors, OFB Ag Education Foundation Board of Directors, and in Tillamook County Farm Bureau. He has served on countless other boards, advisory groups, task forces, and project management committees. An advocate for Oregon State University’s agriculture programs, Dale was honored by OSU with a Diamond Pioneer Award in 2008. This year, he also was named the

Oregon Agribusiness Council’s 2012 Agriculturalist of the Year. “Dale spends so much time in Salem advocating on behalf of Farm Bureau members and is so well-known to legislators that State Senator Betsy Johnson once said at a Tillamook County Farm Bureau meeting that she halfway expects to see him when she emerges from a bathroom stall at the Capitol,” said Bushue. “Dale’s work ethic, passion, and effectiveness should be the envy of us all,” said Bushue. “I can guarantee that his efforts have benefited all Farm Bureau members and hundreds of thousands of other Oregonians. At 80, Dale Buck remains one of the most active leaders in any organization, in any industry. Most of all, his humble and selfless service has singlehandedly done more for advancing Oregon Farm Bureau’s policy than perhaps any other volunteer leader in memory.” “Through it all, Jackie has been Dale’s faithful partner and has supported, accompanied, and helped him – and made sure he received emails,” said Bushue. “Jackie Buck is a longtime leader in Tillamook County Farm Bureau in her own right, and we are proud to also induct her into the OFB Hall of Fame.”

NEHALEM – For the ninth year in a row, the students at Nehalem Elementary School have turned the tables on the Kiwanis Club of ManzaWhee-Lem by donating $278.51 they collected during December to the club. Since 2003, the Nehalem Elementary students have conducted food, toy and fund drives in the days leading up to their Christmas break. To date, they have given the local Kiwanis club a total of $2,774.83.

Kiwanians raise funds throughout the year with raffles, bingo nights and home tours. They use those funds to support children’s programs in North Tillamook County. “This contribution from the kids will be donated to an appropriate local, child-related program,” said Kiwanis club president David Dillon. “We thank the students, their families and the school staff for making this program such a success.”

emember the old song as a kid we would sing about the rain... Rain, rain, go away come again another day. Well, it's not working for me, but maybe if you give it a try it might work, if it does thank you! If you have kids or just love snow, then you are like my children -- they can't wait for it to snow. I am fine with the snow as long as the power doesn't go out. If you made it to the Nehalem Elementary School Annual Winter Concert you saw a wonderful program! Kudos to you Mr. Simpson -- a terrific program once again! We (the audience)were privileged to hear Mrs. Felley's Kindergarten class perform "Jingle Bell Rock" they did so good. Mrs. DeGandi's 2nd and 3rd graders did "Todos Amamos" (original plainsong chant) with music and lyrics written by the class, then Mrs. Thysell's kindergarten and 1st graders

usan Brown, former Nea-Rock Garden Club member, died of lung cancer on Sunday, December 2. She lived next to Nancy Pickett until her recent move to the Sacramento area. Our garden club toured her garden and saw all the changes to the landscaping in the front of the house that Susan and her husband had made. We also had a potluck at her lovely home on Third Street in Tillamook. Condolences to her family and friends Today, 12-12-12 is our niece Phaedra's wedding day. She is marrying her fiancé, Ticker, where they live in Homer, Alaska. Wish we could be there, but flying to Alaska right now is out of the question. Phaedra works

hanks, first, to all those who came to the Bay City Arts Center’s “Seafood Extravaganza” dinner and fund-raising auction. The auction raised over $1,000 (they were still tallying up money when I left), and a number of the folks bidding said they’d planned on doing a lot of their Christmas shopping there. Lots of neat stuff there, and with just a couple of exceptions, it all went away to new, happy homes. As some of you have already heard, barber Tami was taken back to the hospital. Not for the cancer; she’d contracted two different varieties of pneumonia (some have pointed out she couldn’t be satisfied with just one). Chemotherapy and radiation treatments tend to impact the immune system, making you vulnerable to all sorts of ailments for a while – and there’s been some nasty winter diseases floating around this year. I hadn’t mentioned in a previ-

performed the "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth," Mr. Vellutini's 2nd and 3rd grade class did "Watashitachiha" (Original Plainsong Chant), music and lyrics written by the class, and an original song with lyrics written by Ms. Birkby's 4th and 5th grade class, "Revenge Of The Gnomes." Mrs. Hanson's 4th and 5th grade class did "El Amor es la Clave" (Original Plainsong Chant) music and lyrics by her class, Mrs. Simmons 4th and 5th grade class did an original song called "Santa Finds Atlantis" and the final group was Mrs. Honts' 1st grade class singing "Deck The Hall." They all truly did an exceptional job, it was so nice and enjoyable to go and hear what these children have been working so hard on along with Mr. Simpson's guidance. Hey, if your looking for the kids to get involved in something you might want to check out the 4-H group T-N-T (This And That) Club; they will begin shooting sports and small animal and large animal projects. They will be having the next meeting Saturday January 19, 2013 at 10:00 a.m., at the White Clover Grange, so come and give it a try. If you’re out and about you

can certainly tell the Christmas spirit is in the air -- my daughter keeps pointing out the Christmas lights all along the way, so exciting seeing the different colors and decorations. Remember if you use the N.C.R.D. swimming pool their holiday swim schedule is: Open December 17th (Monday) thru December 21st (Friday). Open swim is 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m., $2.00 per student. Pool closed: Christmas Holiday December 22nd. thru January 6, 2013. Need to get the kids a break from the games and t.v. while home for the winter break, check out the library and find a good book or discover a new one, check out the magazines or a movie; you would be amazed at how quickly an hour can go by at the library, it's great for anyone at any age. December 20th is Go Caroling Day and Mudd Day down on the coast you can do both at the same time when its raining. And if you’re not in the Christmas spirit kind December 21st (how strange) is Humbug Day! and Look At The Bright Side Day! So I guess you can pick one out and enjoy it! Happy Birthday to Charity Noble Lovelady! Any information out there, send it to me at hope9801@yahoo.com. See you soon!

for a small airlines and Ticker holds down several jobs. He has a boat and does some fishing. I wonder what the weather is like where they live? They must surely have fresh snow by now. They can look out their windows and see glaciers. Wishing them a long and happy marriage. Our son Steve and his wife Jackie live in Gresham, Oregon. They sometimes shop at Clackamas Town Center. They had just returned Monday from 10 days in Kauai. First day there they had weather just like ours has been, hard downpours of rain and wind. But it gradually cleared up to 81 degrees and they were able to go to a different part of the island to swim and snorkel. They did lots of sight seeing while there. They both had to return to work, so they didn't have time to do any shopping at the mall on Tuesday. We are so glad for that. What a terrible situation to have happen. We were informed today that three people are dead, one critically injured but expected to live. I haven't heard if there were any employees at the mall shot and injured. I will listen to the news this evening and there will probably be an update. They gave the name of the shooter

today - he was young. He shot himself after the melee. Many stories of people helping people. This does happen when caught in an emergency situation such as this was, Christmas season and shopping in full swing; just leaves us all wondering how this could have happened. Tragic and awful! Christmas is only twelve days away now. I don't have a tree up yet, or my Christmas cards and letters done. I am slower and slower every Christmas. I have somehow always got everything done on time. But this year, I just don't know. The Christmas parties I wanted to go to were on the same day. The next Nea-Rock Garden Club meeting is at Merle Wine's in Bay City. She has a new place there and says there is only room for four cars. So let's be sure and meet at PUD to carpool. It is a potluck and after-Christmas party, where we exchange white elephants or recycle Christmas gifts. You can buy a gift but keep the price down between $5. and $10. Saturday, December 31, is the New Year's Eve Party from 8 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.

ous column that there is a Garibaldi Lions Club Christmas barrel at Hidden Treasures, the antique shop on Garibaldi Ave. (Hwy. 101) across from the Parkside Café. There is. The Lions Club has barrels at Sterling Bank, the Food Basket, the Garibaldi Library, Garibaldi Post Office, and Hidden Treasures. Bring the barrels new, unwrapped toys, and canned or otherwise non-perishable foodstuffs. The barrels will be collected sometime the week before Christmas. Please be generous – and do it early. The Garibaldi Museum is having what they’re calling an “inventory reduction sale” this Saturday, Dec. 22, 10-4 at the Museum. The Museum is remodeling their gift shop with the intention of bringing in new items, so all gift shop items are marked down 25% for that one day only. Everything must go, they said: Christmas items, plates, children's books, toys, mugs, decorations, prints, and more. This is another opportunity to snag that hard-to-find Christmas gift. For more information, contact the Garibaldi Museum at 503/3228411 or info@garibaldimuseum.com. Also from the Museum: This may sound awfully premature, but it’s not – the deadline for the Garibaldi Museum’s annual scholarship competition is April 30. (Takes time to do research if you’re going to do a good job.) The Museum offers six scholar-

ships annually, five to seniors in public or private high schools in Tillamook County (four for $750 and one for $1,000), and one (for $1,000) to a student at Tillamook Bay Community College. The Museum wants essays from the high-school students, and an 8-to12-minute PowerPoint presentation from the college students; suggested topics, application rules and links to the application form are on the Museum’s Website, www.garibaldimuseum.com. The Museum will be available by appointment for group or private tours over the winter to assist with the research. (The Museum is closed until 1 April, remember, except for Crab Races Weekend and this coming Saturday.) This Friday, Dec. 21 – the day the Mayans said the world was going to end – our band, Coaster, will be playing at the 2nd Street Market in Tillamook, starting 5 p.m. Jane Dunkin on fiddle, Ken Hardy on guitar, Clint Smith on the big bass, and me. We’ll reprise our Christmas show from Wheeler, and then some; there’s an end-of-the-world love song that may get played for the last time (if the world doesn’t end, it won’t be timely any more, and if it does end, there’ll be nobody around to hear it). Do come; it’ll be fun. And – assuming the world doesn’t end – may each and every one of you in earshot (or eyeshot) have a merry Christmas. And may next year be better than the last.

erry Christmas dear readers; today’s column marks my sixth anniversary as a Fencepost writer. Thank you for your contributions and many kind words which support me in the cheerful weekly task. For those who’ve taken an interest in three month old Maggie, my new Chihuahua mix puppy, she recently braved her second set of shots at Cloverdale Veterinary Clinic; that’s twice now without a whimper. She’ll travel with me to visit my mom and stepdad Margie and David Park in Boardman during the holidays where she’ll become acquainted with their pets, cats Prince and Princess, and Fluffy the rabbit. December 4 was the tenth annual Awards and Recognition Banquet for NeskowinNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce. 2013 officers were announced. They include: Merrianne Hoffman, President; Mike Rech, Vice President; Gloria Schullin, Secretary; and Frances Accuntius, Treasurer. They presented Awards including: Volunteer of the year, David Yamamoto; Citizen of the Year, Kim Carr; and Business of the year Sean & Chenin Carlton's family of businesses- Twist Wine Co., Reversal Apparel & Gifts, and Rib Cage Smokery. They also presented two Certificates of Appreciation: to Senator Betsy Johnson in appreciation of her trusted, respected and effective service to all the people of South

all of the Netarts/Oceanside readers for their support and loyalty throughout the years. If anyone is interested in writing this column in the interim, please contact: Mary Faith Bell, editor of the Headlight Herald at mfbell@countrymedia.net.

Tillamook County; and Fire Chief Kris Weiland received a certificate in appreciation of his service to South Tillamook County while improving public safety and response. Both individuals received standing ovations. Our hearts go out to Brett Elder, a Nestucca Basketball player, recently injured on the court. He scraped his arm on a basketball, and the wound was scratched open in another game by a fellow player. The injury grew infected, with Brett’s arm eventually “all swollen up and bright red” according to his mom, Cara Elder, who reports that he is on the mend. At press time his fever is down and his hearty appetite’s returned, so Brett will likely be back in the gym before school’s dismissed for Winter Break at the end of this week. I appreciate Cara, who is a teacher at Nestucca High School, writing with word that the school’s branch of the National Honor Society led a book drive there, eventually collecting 1196 new and used children's books to distribute to kids in our community. Current members working on the project include: Virginia Garcia, Patrice Lussier, Maria Perez, Jessica Ponce, Jackie Wilkinson and Austin Woods. Thanks to Joann Watters for letting us know that Tillamook Food Bank’s mobile pantry will visit Nestucca High School from 113:00 on Friday, December 28. The free groceries are available to qualifying Tillamook County families. I’ve never seen anyone turned away. The high school is located at 34660 Parkway Drive; turn at the flashing light in Cloverdale. Some last minute gift ideas- Monkey Business 101 Nursery, across U.S. Highway 101 near the Hudson House Bed and Breakfast Inn has evergreens -wreaths, tabletop and cut

trees as well as potted plants suitable for gift giving. Most weekend days, proprietor Barbara Brown, dressed in her Santa suit, waves at highway traffic and hands out candy canes to passing motorists who can safely pull onto the shoulder. Nestucca discount cards are also available and make great stocking stuffers. Selling for $10, they’re on sale at any home basketball game. They feature fifteen local businesses, (each offering its own discount deal) offering repeated savings each visit. For more information, contact Kathleen Serven by telephone at (503) 392-3194 extension 230 or email to kathleen@nestucca.k12.or.us. Hooray for last-minute voicemail from Ginger Slavens announcing a fundraiser for Hebo Fire Station 87’s meeting room. Nestucca Volunteer Firefighters Association will hold a New Year’s Eve party, dance, and ice cream social starting at 7:00 p.m. and lasting at least through midnight on Monday, December 31. Everyone is invited; there’ll be a movie room for the wee ones, ‘tween games, and dancing for one and all. Admission is by donation. That reminds me of an issue raised recently by a thoughtful Fencepost reader: He complained that there is never much in this space about Hebo, the town where he lives. I agree. The inland towns of Hebo and Beaver and the south-most folks in Neskowin get less press in our Fencepost because there’s less news available for me to write. Please help remedy this by contributing; send your news using the contact information is provided above. Happy Birthday this week to: Ava Boyce, Kayla Lightfoot, Eric Hoppe, Nick Hurliman, Betty Morse, Brittany Obrist, Judy Parks, Robin Richwine, Pat Rock, and Lori Whiteman.

h Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining... It is the night of our dear Savior's birth! Wow, Christmas is almost here. We just celebrated Dale's birthday in Central Oregon for a week. We had an awesome time. We got to go to the Bend Christmas Parade and it was the aweinspiring! I jogged my 2 1/2 miles every day and one morning had snowflakes drifting about in the air and the steam of my breath kept fogging up my glasses. Then the flakes actually began sticking to them. Central Oregon is a magical place at Christmas time. But Rockaway Beach is magical year round. December 4th, Santa arrived in our city at our Fire Hall. He greeted both children and adults and all had a fun time. I missed it, as I was celebrating Dale's birthday, but I've seen the pictures and think that Santa should come back just for me so I can see him too. Kids of all ages celebrated at the event, and all in attendance were Santa believers for the night. 68 children showed up and watched Santa as he arrived on the fire truck. There was wonderful Christmas music, compliments of Steve Bauer. As folks arrived each received a raffle ticket and many left with kitchen fire extinguishers, first aid kits or CO2 detectors. Children received a stuffed animal, a bag of peanuts mixed with

eing back on American soil is the greatest gift I could receive for Christmas. I arrived back from San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico. Entering Mexico customs was horrifying. There are no instructions in English as to how to proceed and of course I would be the one to do it wrong. Was yelled at and detained while others glided through. You must hold up your immigration paper in front of you when leaving customs. I didn’t know this and was scared they were going to arrest me. The gentleman processing us was not real happy with me, but I finally made it through after a long wait. San Blas is a tropical rainforest. Temperatures in the 80’s and very high humidity. The mosquitoes had their fill of me and like John Sollman said to me, “So glad you made it back, less, of course, those parts of you the mosquitoes decided to ingest.” I am still infested with them and itching terribly. I also have jet lag and today I have been almost lethargic but started to get back into the groove of things this evening. The children we brought Christmas to were thrilled and just like ours get very hyper when excited. It was such a blessing to bring so much happiness with so few things to them. It is a very poor town but there were two things that reminded me of home in Bay City. The people were all very friendly and happy with what they had. The other is that San Blas is on the bay where all the oyster beds are. I think I ate shrimp in every imaginable dish. Raw, dried, simmered, peel and eat, shrimp sandwiches and garlic shrimp. I was very delicate about removing the heads and tails first, those eyes creeped me out. The dried shrimp taste like French fries to my sister, I thought they tasted like overdone

NOTES FROM THE COAST Christmas candy and an orange. Then they rode on the fire engine. The evening was also enjoyed with cookies, cupcakes, hot chocolate and coffee. The night was nothing short of amazing! Now that's the spirit you only find in a small town. While we're talking about the Fire Department, now would be a great time to donate to our volunteer fire department. Our responders are in the top 10% in the nation for response times. Now that's something to be proud of! Be sure to send your checks to the Rockaway Beach Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 5, Rockaway Beach 97136. These folks are invaluable in our community. I'm proud to call them my friends. Now for our Rockaway Police Department. They joined the First Annual Parade of Lights in Tillamook with three other law enforcement agencies in the county. Over 700 pounds of food was contributed to the Salvation Army food drive. Now that's pretty awesome! Our Chief Ed would like to remind you to be prepared for power outages and long cold nights. Never use a propane heater in your house. And keep any flammables away from space or baseboard heaters. The city hall and police department have glow sticks ($1 each of 6 for $5). And also be sure your smoke detectors and flashlights are in working order. If you have a generator, use it only in a well ventilated area. We have new members of our neighborhood. I met Janet Schwadt in Frugal Crow. She and her husband moved to the Nedonna area from New Mexico. They will soon find out what a wonderful community we are. "There are two ways of spreading light. To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." Merry Christmas! That's Rockaway Beach "Sugar Coated!"

Christmas Tale – A true story

W

hy do we tell our kids this Santa Claus story? It’s a big fat fib and we know we’ll eventually get caught. It’s our job to teach our kids about the world, so what’s going on here? What are we teaching when we tell this Yule time lie and continue to complicate it with elves, a toy factory at 90˚ N latitude located on a floating ice sheet which is, by the way, melting, reindeer to pull a sled through the sky, one with a drinker’s nose, a Mrs. Claus (Didn’t we think Santa’s job was complicated enough without a wife?), and a reward and punishment system based on behaviors of children clearly too young to understand it? And the guy himself? He’s addicted to nicotine, sugar, and has a weight problem. Well, at least that part is realistic. We never did the Santa thing with our kid and he was just fine except for large chunks of his teenage years lost in the caverns of Dungeons and Dragons, so I wouldn’t rely on our advice. I think men made up the Santa tale. Perhaps it’s compensation for being caught lying. How could she not have believed really big tires and chrome wheels aren’t a safety issue? Or you need the new smart phone for your job? Or you bought a 30.06 to protect your

home and children. The scope? You’re still working on that. So when we finally find someone to believe us, usually under six, we really let ’er rip. I taught seventh grade for years. Twelve-year-olds had already figured out we weren’t entirely honest. The last day before school recessed for the SCHUBERT winter break, middleschoolers were even more MOORE wired than usual, so very little got done. I decided to use that time to teach them how to be a better storyteller. Most people don’t realize they use stories all the time on the job. Lawyers take the evidence and construct a story to explain all the facts. Salespeople use stories to link the product and the customer. Can’t you feel the wind in your hair with the top down on this baby? I explained telling a good story uses details and the senses. I demonstrated by telling the story of how I learned about Santa, and then asked for volunteers. One girl came forward to sit on the story stool at the front of class. She had absorbed

what I tried to teach and told a detailed story of her mother taking her little sister and her to the beach, their favorite place to go. They rented a house. It was storming outside with big waves crashing. The mother fixed fragrant cups of hot chocolate, which they drank in front of a hearth fire. They ate their favorite dinner, gooey mac and cheese and for dessert, their favorite, vanilla ice cream on warm cinnamon cake. Then the mother said, I have something to tell you. There isn’t a Santa Claus. I buy the presents. The girls were shocked. Really, the two little girls asked in disbelief? There isn’t a Santa? Nope, the mother said. No Santa. The two sisters tried to take it in. What about the Easter Bunny? Nope. No bunny, the mother said. I hide the eggs. The girls were rattled. What about the tooth fairy? Nope. While you’re sleeping I take the tooth and put the money there. The girls were stunned, wide-eyed with too much truth. The mother figured she was on a roll and might as well clear the decks. And that guy who lives with us? He’s not your father.

more about gardening – and a great last minute gift for the experienced as well as the aspiring gardener – is the gift of the Master Gardener classes that are offered by the Oregon State University Extension Office in downtown Tillamook. This would be a great gift to put on your own list for Santa, too. The Tillamook MG classes are held on Tuesdays from January 8 until April 2, from 9:30 AM until 4:30 PM at the Tillamook County Community College. Because they are taught by faculty of OSU it’s like taking a college-level course. The topics range from the technical – botany, plant ID, diseases, entomology and soil – to the design and care of gardens. Vegetables, propagation, pruning, care of small fruits and fruit trees are more classes taught. This year, the Extension is offering a new class called Care of the Landscape which will be a panel discussion with some of the most experienced gardeners in Tillamook County. This will be a fun class and I have been honored to participate as a member of the panel. The cost of all these wonderful classes is only $100! This is a bargain and about half the cost of the same classes in Multnomah, Clackamas or

Washington Counties. The only thing asked is that for the 66 hours of class time, the Extension asks for 60 hours of volunteer time. This can be in a variety of ways, from manning the helpline phones in the MG office or at the Farmers’ Markets to working in the Learning Garden at the Fairgrounds. Helping at the annual plant sale and the Gardeners’ Tea also count as service hours, so the time builds up quickly. The Master Gardeners do all sorts of projects all over Tillamook County so I am pretty certain everyone will find a project they can be passionate about in the list of choices. For more information, contact the OSU Extension Office at 503-842-3433. They are always willing to answer your questions, help you register, or create a gift certificate to give to your loved one for the holidays. A gift like this is really a double gift: it goes to your friend or relative, but in turn, they “pay it forward” by helping other gardeners in the community. A win-win-win situation. I wish you and all your family and friends – be they gardeners or those who enjoy the fruits of a gardener’s labor – a most wonderful Holiday Season.

MOM AND KIDS Looking for a new pal to help start off the New Year? Pepper, or one of her 11 puppies, might be just the answer. The pups won’t be quite ready for adoption at the beginning of 2013 - they’re only 3 weeks old - but Pepper will. The youngsters should be adoptable early in the new year, however. Pepper is a young Bluetick Coonhound/Australian Shepherd mix, very mellow but still puppyish herself, house broken, walks well on a lead and is current with shots. She needs a home with a fenced yard. The father of the pups is believed to be a purebred Rottweiler.

Appeals must meet the content requirements of 36 CFR 215.14. Only individuals or organizations who submitted comments or expressed an interest in the project during the comment period may appeal. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, those who only submit anonymous comments will not have standing to appeal the subsequent decision under 36 CFR Part 215.

Persons requesting such confidentiality should be aware that, under the FOIA, confidentiality may be granted in only very limited circumstances, such as to protect trade secrets. The Forest Service will inform the requester of the agency’s decision regarding the request for confidentiality, and where the request is denied, the agency will return the submission and notify the requester that the comments may be resubmitted with or without names and addresses.

A FIGHTER Tyson got his name because he’s a real fighter, but not in a bullying sense. The youngster was found under a trailer last August, alone, hungry and skinny, but still purring like a seasoned blues singer. He’s fought back from that aversity to put on plenty of weight and is full of energy, though sleeping on a lap is still one of his favorite things. Good with other cats and small dogs, this black bundle of fur is litter box trained and is ready for a home of his own. He is current with his shots and will come with a certificate to have him neutered.
