Tillamook School District discusses $1 million bond for safety improvements

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The Tillamook School District may have a bond issue on the May ballot – a small one, according to superintendent Randy Schild.

“We would go out for a million dollars,” Schild told the Tillamook School Board Feb. 11. The money would pay for safety and security improvements at the district’s schools: exterior lighting, an external cardlock system for doors and gates, fencing where playgrounds are adjacent to roads, video surveillance cameras (“We don’t have any,” Schild told the board), and windows for better visibility in offices.

The bond money would also replace

aged intercom systems in the schools, allowing messages to be broadcast from any unit instead of just from a central office; would put classroom numbers on the outside of school buildings to enable easy access by emergency service and law enforcement personnel, and would install classroom doors at South Prairie, “which doesn’t have them,” Schild said.

The million dollars would be paid back over ten years, Schild said, amounting to a property tax “hit” of seven to eight cents per $1,000 every year for ten years. A $100,000 house would be paying $8.00 a year, he noted. “This wouldn’t be a hard sell,” he said. “We’d just show people what it (the money) will buy.”

The improvements wouldn’t be a cure-all, Schild cautioned. “All these were in place in Connecticut” (where the Sandy Hook shootings occurred) “and it didn’t stop it,” he said.

“Even though we haven’t had the tragedies, I’d still like to go ahead,” board member Sally Tuttle said.

The school board voted unanimously to authorize Schild to proceed with preparation of a bond resolution to be presented to voters in May, and refining of some costs Schild had advised were “ballpark figures.” The school board will vote on the resolution at their March meeting.

STUDENTS RECYCLE SIRENS

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

When he’s not busy fighting crime and responding to emergencies, Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright is helping Tillamook High School student, Theresa Moulton, with her senior project. Theresa was moved to do something to offer support to students and teachers following the tragic shooting deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. She asked people all over town, young and old alike, to make paper snowflakes, hearts, signs and banners dedicated to the Sandy Hook community.

Tsunami sirens recycled for Charity Drive

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The old tsunami sirens that Tillamook County Information Services has been taking down since mid-January won’t go to waste; they’re being donated to the Tillamook High School Charity Drive, which will sell them for scrap metal.

Ryan Upton from EC Electric in Bay City approached county commissioners about donating the old sirens, originally from the Trojan nuclear plant, to the Charity Drive. County commissioners authorized the donation Feb. 13. Paul

Levesque, chief of staff, recommended that commissioners distribute the sirens equally between all four classes. “That’s an equitable distribution,” he suggested.

“The classes will have to divide up the money,” information services manager Michael Soots said.

In addition to the nine sirens taken down by the county, Charity Drive also got the sirens from Netarts and Oceanside fire halls and the large one from Pacific City, which had to be taken down

by Tillamook PUD because it weighed 650 pounds and was 30 feet in the air.

TAPA explores ‘Memory’ in two one-act plays

BY SAMANTHA SWINDLER For the Headlight Herald

The latest production by the Tillamook Association of the Performing Arts, opening Friday, follows four characters who – by means sometimes comical, sometimes heartbreaking – cope with aging.

“Memory” consists of two one-act plays, “I Can’t Remember Anything” by famed playwright Arthur Miller and “The 75th” by Israel Horovitz. Bill Farnum, who also stars in “The 75th”, directs the show.

Though the cast all perform the roles of seniors, Far-

At a Tillamook People’s Utility District (PUD) board meeting Feb. 12, the board voted unanimously to apply to the Tillamook County Planning Commission for a permit to build a new high voltage transmission line along Hwy. 131 from the city limits of Tillamook to Oceanside.

There were 30-40 landowners and concerned citizens present, and approximately a dozen who testified in opposition to the 115 kV transmission line, which, as currently designed, run from the substation east of Tillamook to Front Street, continue west on Front Street, make a jog around the hospital helipad, and then go west along the north side of Hwy.. 131 before it leaves the roadway and heads west to Oceanside.

The PUD has indicated that the transmission line is critical to the district’s continued and future ability to provide reliable power to Tillamook and Oceanside. A number of alternate routes were studied and considered; the proposed route is the PUD’s choice based upon impact to landowners, engineering and cost to build the line.

The PUD must obtain permits to build from both the City of Tillamook and Tillamook County.

The city planning commission has approved a conditional use permit for the proposed line within the city limits. That decision is being appealed to the Tillamook City Council. The city council will uphold the permit or reject it based upon whether the council believes the planning commission fulfilled its responsibilities in the decision-making process. The city council can also remand the matter back to the planning commission with further instructions.

Don Aufdermauer and Dennis Johnson filed the appeal; both own property in the city limits that would be affected by the transmission line. They have organized a group of citizens and landowners who are opposed to the proposed transmission line; that group has hired an attorney, Greg Hathaway, to represent them in their appeal.

The Tillamook City Council will hear the appeal on Tuesday, March 5 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.

The regular city council meeting is Monday March 4 at 7 p.m.

The Tillamook County Planning Commission meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the county courthouse.

They will likely have received the PUD application to build the new transmission line out of town by their March 14 meeting.

The nine sirens (of 32 total) taken down by the county don’t include the sirens on the Garibaldi and Bay City fire halls, which are remaining in place, or the ones at Camp Magruder and Twin Rocks Friends Camp, which will be used by their respective organizations.

The sirens being donated to the Charity Drive by the county consist only of the old sirens that have been removed. The tsunami sirens the county obtained in January 2012 from the Umatilla Army Depot are still in storage at the county’s public works yard.

num said audience members of all ages will be able to relate to “Memory.”

“The problems don’t change as you get older,” he said. “Young people have the same problems, it’s just that they don’t have their end time hanging over their heads.”

The first performance, “I Can’t Remember Anything,” follows two New England neighbors – Lenora, a rich widow whose life seems to have stopped since her husband’s death, and Leo, the gruff best friend of her late husband.

Tillamook High School Charity Drive 2013 Tillamook High School Charity Drive will conclude with the alumni basketball game Wednesday night Feb. 20. The Charity Drive King and Queen coronation takes place at halftime. Charity Drive happens for two weeks every February, and the entire community gets involved, helping students generate donations

for Doerenbecher Children’s Hospital, local non-profits, and college scholarships for THS graduates.

Some Charity Drive events are long-standing traditions, such as the Smoker boxing event, which has been going on for 40 years or more, and drew a crowd of 500. Other community

favorites are donkey basketball, the Misfit Beauty Pageant and the Jell-O wrestling championship.

There were many car washes, dinners and fun community events for all ages. There were new twists on old traditions, such as the donation by Tillamook County of the now defunct tsunami sirens to Charity Drive; the

sirens were divided between the classes, students dismantled them and they were sold as scrap metal.

The four classes compete for most donations earned. This year, barring a surprise upset, the senior class is predicted to win for the fourth year in a row, which would be the first time that has

happened in 41 years, since the graduating class of 1972 won all four years.

Stay tuned for the final tallies and the class winner in a future edition of the Headlight Herald; we’ll get that information to our readers as soon as it’s available.

Check out our Feb. 27 issue for the Charity Drive coronation.

Schild also reviewed with the school board schedule changes that had been implemented this school year, some of which won’t be continued, he said. One of the things that will change next year is school starting times. In 2012-13, the high school started later, in the belief that high school students would learn better if school started later. “It didn’t have the positive educational impact it should have,� Schild said. Instead, parents “strug-

gled� with the two pickup times. Beginning in fall 2013, all the Tillamook schools will start at 8 a.m., Schild said.

Instead of two separate school bus runs in the morning, there would be two in the afternoon, with the high school and elementary schools letting out at different times.

The changes have thus far been discussed only with staff, Schild said. “I have not had anyone tell me why this won’t work,� he said. Public forums

on the changing start times will be scheduled later, he said.

In other business, the Tillamook School Board heard a presentation from Food Roots’ Allyson Gardner on the organization’s “Farm 2 School� program; reviewed the process for superintendent Schild’s evaluation; discussed Charity Drive and other events at the schools; and declared March 4-8 as Classified Employees Appreciation Week.

COLISEUM THEATRE

H23603

Lenora, played by Sandra Koops, likes a strong drink but suffers from memory lapses.

Leo, played by Robert Kratz, is a retired draftsman who struggles with the prospect of getting older. The play centers on the quick banter during a single visit between the two friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 75thâ&#x20AC;? is set in a restaurant for the seventy-fifth reunion of a high school classâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of which only two members remain. Now in their nineties, the two alumni, portrayed by Terri Winkle and Farnum, mistake each other for several other classmates and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite remember their real identities.

While â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Remember Anythingâ&#x20AC;? tackles some more serious topics, Farnum describes â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 75thâ&#x20AC;? as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? and full of laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The audience) may go into intermission wanting to have a couple of drinks, but when they leave the theater, I hope theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be very happy,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Farnum said he was drawn to the two plays because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am aging and having memory problems, so I identify with some of the people, especially in the first play, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Remember Anything.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The second play is just a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

When the casting call didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t garner enough actors, Farnum took to the stage himself. He both acts and directs in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 75th.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up there trying to memorize lines, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to see yourself ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to rely on (TAPA board member) Wally Nelson to step in and give me some feedback on how it looks. That is always a difficult task.â&#x20AC;?

FROM THE EDITOR

GUEST EDITORIAL

Let’s put it underground Bureaucratic politics trumps popular consensus

I

’ve lived in Tillamook County for eight years, and I think the PUD does a great job. Until recently, I’ve never heard anyone say anything negative about them. Electricity is essential to all of us, and PUD provides it at a reasonable cost, with outstanding customer service, and in the process provides family wage jobs for local employees. The PUD is a source of local pride, people feel good about doing business with a customer-owned “People’s Utility District,” not-for-profit, created by the community to serve the community.

It’s important to keep that in mind as we navigate the rough waters ahead. The proposed PUD 115 kV transmission line to Oceanside is fomenting concern, fear and anger from landowners who will be affected by the new high voltage line. It would run from the substation east of town through the downtown light industrial corridor and residential district on Front Street, and west out of town on Hwy. 131. Consider Ron and Claudia Marolf, just outside the city limits; they would have a transmission pole in their yard, within feet of their house. The 50-foot PUD easement would be inside their home. Ron was born and raised there. He ran the family farm until he retired. He says that even if PUD compensates him for the easement, (they will) he’s afraid that his property value will be radically diminished, because, in his words, “Who’s going to want to buy a house under a high voltage transmission line?”

It’s a good question. Ron’s wife, Claudia, doesn’t want to live near one. She’s worried about adverse health effects. She remembers that they looked at a house once that was near a transmission line, and she remarked to Ron, ‘I would never want to live that close to a power line.’

Now, she says “it looks like we could end up with one right outside our window.”

At the Feb. 12 PUD board meeting Ron Marolf attended, Board President Doug Olson said that regardless of the opposition from the landowners present at the meeting, the PUD needs to move ahead with this project. ‘If not these faces, it will just be others,’ is what Marolf heard Olson say in that meeting, meaning that regardless of where the transmission line is, someone is going to be upset about it.

That’s true if it’s overhead; but that doesn’t make the Marolfs feel any better about it.

That got me to thinking about core values. Because it is the Tillamook PUD we’re talking about, customer-owned and run by Mary Faith Bell people we’ve Editor elected, I think we can reasonably ask for our values to be reflected in the decision-making process. Values such as, ‘If you’re going to do something, do it right.’ It seems to me that the right way to build a new transmission line is underground in populated areas. I understand that it will be more expensive, and as a PUD customer I am willing to pay more in order to have it done right. I reject the idea that because this is a poor, rural community, we should invest millions in an overhead transmission line that will negatively impact property values, livability, and perhaps pose a health risk– whether perceived or real – to people and livestock. (The perception of a health risk affects property values.) If we can avoid all of those issues by building underground, even if it’s more expensive, why wouldn’t we? If it’s a matter of borrowing money to build, interest rates will never be lower. If it is critical to build new infrastructure, let’s do it right.

The other value on my mind is ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ I do not want any of my neighbors to have to suffer for the better of the whole if there is a reasonable alternative, even if it’s more expensive. I do not want my neighbors to be forced to accept something I wouldn’t want in my yard. ‘Sorry about your home/business/farm, that’s terrible,’ while thinking the silent, guilty and unavoidable thought, ‘I’m so glad it isn’t me.’

I don’t want any part of that. I would rather pay higher rates.

The PUD board is elected, as are the Tillamook City Council and the Tillamook County Commissioners; all of them will make decisions on our behalf about the proposed PUD transmission line. The city planning commission has already approved the PUD’s application, (it’s being appealed to the city council), but the county planning commission hasn’t reviewed it yet.

n reference to the letter to the editor of the Tillamook Headlight Herald posted February 6th, Mr. Patrick Ireton professed his frustration at the new wave energy sites declared by Oregon’s Land Conservation and Development Commission. Another reader commented that we ought to try it to gain the knowledge needed to see if this was feasible.

To that commenting reader I’d like address that I appreciate your scientific

SPEEDBUMP

by Dave Coverly

Commercial fishermen will tell you that electrolysis (created when metal interacts with sea water) deters salmon from their steel trolling cables. Crabbers will tell you that crab won't enter pots that haven't been treated with zincs.

Electrical generators create electromagnetic fields all by themselves and the cabling bringing electricity back to shore is 12"-20" in diameter to handle the large current loads. That cabling lies on the ocean floor and emits even more radiation.

Where do you think crab live?

Every scientist assigned to the OPAC & Territorial Sea Plan groups made it a prerequisite that no devices should be near the mouth of ANY coastal river or stream!

Why do you think they did that?

I agree that there is great potential with wave, current & wind energy, but why create a very few new jobs at the expense of losing more existing jobs and recreational opportunities?

The United States government, the State of Oregon and many private organizations have spent millions & most probably, billions of dollars & untold hundreds of thousands of hours of effort to save and enhance our anadromous assets as well as crab fisheries.

What the heck were the DLCD, and (as Mr. Ireton mentioned) "The Powers That Be”, thinking, by purposefully endangering our marine assets like the endangered Coho salmon?

The Pacific City Dorymen's Association and other like minded groups will be appealing this travesty near the Nestucca River as well as the other wave energy sites declared by fiat from the LCDC. After 4-5 years of public input by all stake holders up and down the coast, the Ocean Policy Advisory Council weighed all of the scientific information available at the time to propose sites that would provide new energy interests, sites to develop their technology without harming too much of the environment, but the DLCD & those same energy interests won the day.

This situation can be summarized by the following simple statement; big green energy, big influence, big bucks, big problems.

READERS’ OPEN FORUM “Is money more important than people?”

PUD approved the proposed route for the county portion of the Tillamook to Oceanside transmission line. This affects me as they will be putting a pole in my yard, and the 50 ft easement will run through our house. The line will run directly over the neighbors’ two houses and over the KTIL Radio Station. The city portion of the line is still under appeal by a group of citizens who believe there are other options that won't affect the businesses and properties on Front St. This is obviously the easiest and least expensive route of the 5 or 6 options that PUD had to choose from. Is MONEY more import than people’s lives and livelihoods?

Ron Marolf Tillamook

“At what cost to our community?’

I was in utter disbelief Tuesday night after I attended the Tillamook PUD workshop and

board meeting on the Oceanside transmission line. At the workshop, we were shown a rough transmission line proposal that was simply a yellow line on top of a Google earth map.

The 100-foot easement lines weren’t marked for us to see.

There wasn’t any specific information included on the size of the poles, guide wires, or even pole height. During the workshop several concerns were raised. The proposed line and easement goes over top of three homes, over a well, through wetlands and floodplain. In addition, the level of interference this line will cause KTIL is unknown. The board of directors voted unanimously to approve this line. This motion was approved with the condition that any changes can be made as needed. In other words, PUD has the flexibility in the approved motion to do whatever they want including moving poles, etc. So, PUD is moving forward with a proposed line that has numerous issues to resolve, significant negative impact on several landowners, doesn’t include any specifics of the transmis-

sion line itself, and is truly not a plan. Smart move though because now the public doesn’t have any input until the actual county planning review and PUD can do whatever they want. Also, it seems odd PUD is spending over $8 million dollars to install a transmission line that has huge negative impacts and eliminates several downtown businesses rather than improving the existing distribution line. What does make sense is that this proposed Oceanside transmission (not distribution) line will put PUD in perfect position to be a key player in any future wave energy projects. http://ir.library.oregonstate.e du/xmlui/bitstream/handle/195 7/19037/Task-2.1.3-OregonWave-ProjectDatabase.pdf?sequence=8 This link shows TIDE is clearly linked to PUD with the contact being Pat Ashby (former General Manager) with PUD’s address. In a second document, Tillamook PUD, through TIDE, applied for and was issued a FERC permit. http://judsonrandall.mystarband.net/TIDEPrelimPermit.pd

f This information makes me think twice about what PUD’s true intention and long-term plan is for this proposed line and at what cost to our community.

math so they can enter college level classes. The College’s Strategic Framework addresses how we can better serve all of you and at the same time deal with the many unknowns surrounding funding, governance and outcomes.

The College continues to welcome community meetings, events and trainings to our campus. Over the past few months Master Gardeners, AARP, Oregon Dept. of Land Conservation and Development, AAUW Science Technology Engineering & Math (STEM) recognition event, Tillamook Positive Youth Development Coalition, The Economic Development Board, and several other groups have used TBCC’s building for their functions. These events run from an hour to a full day.

Beginning in April 2013 the College will implement a nominal access fee to offset basic costs due to our decreased resources. If a non-profit organization uses the space for 2 to 4 hours the access fee is $15 and for 5 to 8 hours the fee

is $25.00. We believe this nominal fee will not present a barrier to groups, but will help preserve our ability to host groups in a first class facility. The intent is to always keep the College accessible to our community, and this nominal fee actually helps sustain this option into the future.

Please be assured that your TBCC Board is committed to meet the needs of the community it serves. The Board has seven members. Five of them represent zones of the county and two of them are membersat-large. Elections for four of the seven Board positions will be held on May 21, 2013. Both incumbents and new candidates must file with the county clerk.

If you are interested in the possibility of serving in this strategic position, please check with the County clerk for filing dates and details.

Kudos to North Coast Lawn Glad the Headlight Herald finally did a feature on North Coast Lawn! I found NCL and Terry Phillips from an ad in HH and have been 100% satisfied with their work. I was even more impressed with Terry's integrity and work ethic.

NCL is even more appreciated after having tried to get a few other landscapers to even come up with a decent quote or design.

I'm also impressed with his community service to the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, since we enjoy that event each every year since we discovered it.

curiosity, sir, as I personally feel a similar curiosity about the world I live in. In this case however, the sitting of wave energy devices just south of the Nestucca River is a travesty. Why, you ask? Because the science isn't proven, period!

The first scientific premise to consider in any scientific inquiry is similar to the Hippocratic Oath, first do no harm.

There are certain FACTS to consider.

In an unproven technology, why take a chance that a new electromagnetic field won't deter migrating returning salmon stocks from entering the mouth of the Nestucca River to continue their life cycles.

Concrete barriers in front of Richard Patten’s gift shop and gallery went up Wednesday, Feb. 13.

Barriers in front of Rockaway business can stay

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Three large concrete barriers erected in front of a downtown Rockaway business Wednesday will get to stay in place, the Headlight Herald was advised Friday.

The barriers, similar to but smaller than the concrete “Jersey barriers” in the middle of divided highways, went up Wednesday in front of Richard’s Custom Framing & Gifts, the multi-colored gallery and gift shop at 117 S. Miller where Rockaway resident Richard Patten displays and sells his woodworking, glass

and jewelry. Patten was painting the barriers Thursday with reflective paint, and installing reflectors.

Miller is not a city street, police chief Ed Wortman advised. It may look like a street, but it’s part of the rightof-way of the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad. “We enforce traffic laws there because it’s property open to public travel,” Wortman said.

Businesses along S. Miller have leased parts of the “street” in front of their businesses – basically, parking places – from POTB, port manager Michele Bradley said.

Patten has the area in front of his building leased. Bradley suggested if Patten wanted to use that space to put the barricades there, he could. The only limitation, she said, is “he can’t prevent access by emergency vehicles.” When this reporter was on site, traffic on S. Miller – much of it driving by to watch Patten at work painting his barricades – didn’t appear to have problems.

“He brought us in pictures,” Bradley said. “He’s painting the barricades with reflective paint, and is installing reflectors and motion detector lights.”

Patten refused requests to comment on the reason for placing the concrete barricades. Neighbors suggested it may have resulted from other people parking in front of his building.

Rumors that the barricades were a precursor to a permanent closure of all of Miller Street are unfounded, Bradley said. The idea of closing the street had been raised before, but it was by prior Rockaway city managers, she said. “We do allow the street to be closed for events,” she said, “but we insist on adequate notice to the businesses.”

Local subcontractors get paid In the Jan. 30 issue of the Tillamook Headlight Herald, we reported that local construction companies were having trouble getting paid on some of the big commercial projects at the Port of Tillamook Bay. Local contractors, subcontractors and suppliers working under Skanska, the general contractor on the job, were not receiving payments for their work and/or materials in a timely way. In some cases, the monies owed them were overdue 120 days and more, which was wreaking financial havoc for local small businesses. Following up on the story with the same contractors, the Headlight Herald has learned that those companies received payments, and in one case, almost an apology, after the story came out.

“Weitman Excavating

payed us in full the morning the story came out in the newspaper,” said supervisor for Robert Warren Trucking, Shelby Van Tassel. “They called before they paid us, and told us it was coming.”

According to Van Tassel, Weitman Excavation (Weitman was hired by Skanska, and Weitman hired Robert Warren Trucking) originally owed them approximately $29,000 and had paid $3,800 of that, but the other $25,200 they were owed came in a lump sum the day the paper hit the newsstands.

“It was good to get that money," said Van Tassel.

"We're still worried about the court case we have coming up with Smith and Smith and W.C. Mining,” Van Tassel said. “I'd say were looking at over $100,000 we're owed,

and we already have $25,000 invested in lawyer fees, too.

That will probably double before it's all over.”

As far as the relationship between Weitman Excavation and Robert Warren Trucking, things seem to be going better.

“Weitman's office called after the paper came out and said it was nice working with us, and there was going to be a change in how they did business from here on out,” Van Tassel said. “If that's the case, it will be a big improvement.”

Because of the payments to other subcontractors higher on the food chain, owner of CoastWide Ready-Mix Dennis Johnson said he was paid as well.

“I'm not going to say who paid me because I don't want to throw them under the bus when I know they were just

waiting for payment too; but I do think that that story got the payments rolling,” Johnson said.

The first subcontractor who was paid in full was Darcy Jones of Jones Excavating. He filed a lien on the Port of Tillamook Bay for payments past-due up to 5 months.

“It’s my understanding that all the subs were paid in full,” said Port of Tillamook Bay Director Michelle Bradley.

“We only have a contract with Skanska, but we tried to make the situation better.

“Our project manager Eric did a lot of follow up to get the money pushed forward. Unfortunately we don’t have control of the subs who are hired and it’s unfortunate the situation happened. We’d like to aviod that in the future.”

Tillamook

BY JOE WRABEK

When U.S. Senator Ron Wyden visited Tillamook’s main library Saturday, Feb. 16, he was met by a small audience – 32, including the Senator’s own staff. It was the final weekend of Charity Drive, Tillamook mayor Suzanne Weber explained. (Bay City Arts Center president Dia Norris presented Wyden with a “Children Helping Children” T-shirt from Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, the primary recipient of Charity Drive monies.)

“We have one bit of business,” Wyden told the audience. “This is the year the U.S. Senate decided to honor Korean War vets.” Wyden presented a Senate resolution to Korean War veterans Phil Simon and John Sollman, and veterans service officer Bill Hatton. “It was always called ‘the Forgotten War,’” Wyden said. “But there was a lot of talk that this was World War Three. We lost 269 Oregonians there.”

Wyden used his hour and a half with the Tillamook audience to field questions, often giving detailed answers and asking for feedback from questioners. Issues discussed ranged from gun control to gas prices.

Wyden characterized the atmosphere in Washington, D.C. as a “food fight,” and placed part of the blame on the media. “We now have TV stations devoted to maintaining an ideological point of view,” he said. The “sequester” -$110 billion in automatic spending cuts that will take

effect March 1 – “is a fancy Washington word for a really bad idea,” Wyden said. “Congress said we can’t do it (cut the budget) so let’s put it on autopilot.”

“We’ll have a budget this year,” Wyden said. “The election’s over.” However, fixing the Federal budget has got to deal with Medicare, Wyden said. “My background is working with the elderly. Ten thousand people will turn 65 every day for the next 20 years. Anyone who talks about the budget and doesn’t mention Medicare isn’t serious about the budget,” he suggested.

Gun control and gun rights were a hot topic. “When I read the 2nd Amendment, it’s about rights and responsibilities,” Wyden said. No gun-control legislation has been written, he

cautioned. “There are issues we have to debate.” Wyden said he favored background checks (“If it’s written properly, I’ll vote for it,” he said), stronger requirements for storing weapons (“We’re clearly seeing some problems with kids”), and limits on the size of magazines. Better background checks might have prevented the assassination of Arizona congressman Gabrielle Gifford, Wyden suggested. “But there’s no law I can write that says ‘thou shalt be a responsible parent,’” he said.

A request by Korean War veteran John Sollman for a VA outpatient clinic in Tillamook County was turned over to the Senator’s staff. “We have to go to Hillsboro or ‘Pill Hill’ (the VA hospital in Portland) or Camp Rilea,” Sollman told

Wyden. “There’s flooding south of Seaside, there’s usually problems going over the hill, and we’ve lost our bus,” he said. Wyden also promised Port of Tillamook Bay commissioners Bob Olson and Georgine Beveridge to check into reported problems finding a utility to buy power from the port’s methane digesters. “One of my priorities is to improve transmission,” Wyden said.

Nehalem mayor Shirley Kalkhoven noted “coastal folks are not happy” about the zoning of land offshore of the Nestucca River for wave energy development. Wave energy is expensive, she said, and needs lots of tax credits to be viable. “We did extend the current tax break another year,” Wyden said. Most work on wave energy is being done at

the state level, he said. “On the Federal side, we’ve mostly been encouraging research.”

With respect to Solyndra, the solar firm that went bankrupt after getting huge Federal subsidies, “We can’t heave money at things willy-nilly,” he said.

“Solyndra didn’t have a market, but they had lobbyists.”

With respect to Federal lands, “I’m going to make sure we get Rural Schools re-authorized another year,” Wyden said after the meeting. The goal is to pull together all communities where there’s Federal land and waters, he said. This year, Wyden is chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which oversees Federal lands, parks, and natural resources policy.

“We will finally get off this roller coaster,” he said.

NKN Graduate Scholarship Program seeks applicants

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Jerry Underwood is on a mission.

The Garibaldi resident is promoting the Neah-Kah-Nie Graduate Scholarship Program.

“It’s open to anyone who graduated from Neah-Kah-Nie High School from 1954 on,” he said. 1954 was the year the high school opened. Members of the current graduating class aren’t eligible, Underwood said; the scholarships are for those who are continuing their education, not beginning college. “What’s really nice is you can apply for educational or vocational schools,” Underwood said. “It’s nice to see applicants who have a goal in mind.”

The scholarship program “started in 1981 with 15 board members,” Underwood said, “including some Neah-Kah-Nie teachers.” Rummage sales and

raffles built the fund, which now has $250,000. “We only use the interest,” Underwood said. To date, the Graduate Scholarship Program has given out 136 scholarships, totaling $163,616. An estimated $10,000 will be available to give out this year.

Applications for scholarships are available from the Career Center at Neah-Kah-Nie High School, or downloadable from the school’s Website, www.neahkahnie.k12.or.us.

Applications have to be received by April 1 at the Graduate Scholarship Program’s mailing address, P.O. Box 373, Rockaway Beach, OR 97136.

The amount – and number – of scholarships awarded varies, Underwood said. “After we see how many we have, we decide how to divide it up,” The board will meet in early May to do that, he said.

The Graduate Scholarship

Program doesn’t do rummage sales any more, Underwood said. “All of us have gotten older. But the fund continues to grow.” These days, the scholarship fund’s main income comes from memorials, and a payroll deduction from NKN teachers.

“And some people make annual donations,” Underwood said.

Reward for Pecos Pecos (aka Pickles) was born in the summer of 2007 on a diary farm in Blaine, Oregon. Shortly after weaning he moved to Klamath Falls with his buddy Tanner who was attending the Oregon Institute of Technology.

Pecos lived there with several young students, thereby earning the nickname “Frat Cat.” After two semesters, he gave up on college life and returned to the farm, and established himself as a valuable member of the community.

He took it upon himself to rid the area of unwanted rodents and vermin. An amazing hunter, he was street-wise and although he patrolled an extremely large area of Moon Creek Road, he was wary of traffic and although you might catch a glimpse of him coming and going, he was never in your way.

Pecos was a dapper gentleman cat – always neat and clean. He had markings around his eyes that gave the impression that he was wearing spectacles, and that suited

him. He thought he was the mayor of Moon Creek. Some mornings he would stop for breakfast at the Plumb household in Blaine and might be seen taking an afternoon nap in the Fletcher barn nearly a mile away. He was a valued member of the Slavens household and will be greatly missed.

Tragically, Pecos lost his life on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 9, when some lowlife scumbag shot him with a bow and arrow. He managed to crawl to the porch of the Plumb house before succumbing to his injuries.

A sizable reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual responsible. In the meantime, we hope that this mighty hunter (10,000 times the hunter his killer will ever be) has the ability to haunt the one who did this to him, and that the killer’s eventual death will be more painful than that which he inflicted on Pecos.

OSY receives ODOT grant for increased enforcement OSY Troopers will increase enforcement on state’s most dangerous highways – including Highway 101 and Highway 6.

Oregon State Police (OSY) recently received grant funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to provide overtime enforcement on selected state highway locations to decrease the occurrence of often fatal "roadway departure crashes."

OSY enforcement will target contributing factor traffic violations that data shows are associated with roadway departure crashes such as speed, failure to maintain a traffic lane, failure to drive on right side of highway, distracted driving, and DUII. In Oregon, these types of crashes account for approximately 66 percent of all fatalities.

A "roadway departure crash" is defined as a non-intersection crash that occurs after a vehicle crosses an edge line or a centerline, or otherwise leaves the trav-

Neskowin Trading Company owner Mike Herbel is seeing his vision become reality in the market renovation process currently underway. The business is scheduled to reopen in April.

The Neskowin Trading Company is expanding

BY JOSIAH DARR sports@orcoastnews.com

The Neskowin Trading Company (formerly the Neskowin Market Place) just off Hwy. 101 in Neskowin is undergoing completely renovation that will not only change the look of the market, but the entire vibe of the store.

“We took over the store in late October and started the construction in November,” said Neskowin Trading Company owner and Neskowin resident, Mike Herbel. “I've been working on this plan for about two years now. That was when my wife Kim and I got really serious about trying to acquire it, and we finally did.

“We had a vision of what we thought it could be. We wanted to build a full service market, so that when visitors come to Neskowin, they don't have to leave to Lincoln City or Pacific City to get what they need.

With the recent closing of the nearby Hawk Creek Cafe, there are very few food

options in Neskowin; but the plans Herbel and his wife have for the market will dramatically change the landscape of options in the town.

“We're building a deli, an entire alcove which will be a wine shop, a fresh produce grocery, regular grocer. Everything someone on vacation could need,” Herbel explained.

“It's a beautiful area here, and when people go on vacation the first thing you have to do is go and stock up when you arrive. We want to be here for that need.”

According to Herbel, he hardest part of the renovation to this point has been just getting started on the project, but the physical work is going well.

“We're completely rehabbing the market with new refrigerators for a produce case and a deli and a freezer section. Basically a small, but complete grocery store,” Herbel said. “We are also going to have a very extended wine shop. We hope to be a wine

destination. There aren't a lot of great bottle shops in Tillamook County and we're looking to fill that niche.”

In addition to the grocery store improvements and expansions, Herbel is looking to fill his store with as many local products as possible.

“We're very interested in creating partnerships with local producers, Herbel explained. There's a wealth of resources here from farmers to cheese makers. We've got winemakers, we've got artisans and craftsmen. Part of our model is to connect with those people and feature their products in our store.”

Beyond the improved grocery store, Herbel is looking forward to extending the store with a large patio area connected to the soon-to-be wine bar that will be added to the building.

“Folks will be able to flow in from the store to the wine bar,” Herbel explained. “We'll offer multiple beer taps that feature craft beers, which are

very popular these days.

“The idea is people will able to go the deli and order some food and they can bring their food to the wine bar and enjoy a glass of wine with it.”

Herbel is very excited about the upcoming improvements to the store and the future of his establishment. His goal it to have the grocery store project completed by the end of March and finish the bar area by the end of April.

Both of which look to be right on track.

Eventually he's hoping Neskowin Trading Company will become a cornerstone of the Neskowin community.

"Ultimately our goal is to make this a mini destination where people get up on a Saturday morning and they think, 'What are we going to do today?' And they say, 'Lets go to Neskowin and have lunch,'” Herbel said with a grin. “We hope over time to create an environment that's fun and interesting and people just want to be here.”

eled portion of the roadway.

Examples include crashing headon, sideswiping another vehicle, and traveling off the highway and rolling over or colliding with a fixed object.

ODOT awarded OSY grant funds to provide over 1,600 hours of overtime enforcement through the end of September 2013. The goal is to help lower these types of crashes in specific highway locations identified as some of the worst areas in the state. ODOT identified the highway locations following a review of crash analysis data that pointed at crash types, causes, dates, day(s) of week, and time periods. The enforcement strategy is in addition to ODOT engineering work that is also helping reduce these crash types in the selected areas.

Highway 101 and state highways that connect the coast to the valley – including Highway 6, 18, 26, 20 and 34 – will see increased OSY enforcement through the summer.

County applies for $2.6 million wetlands restoration grant from NOAA

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Tillamook County commissioners voted Wednesday to approve a grant application to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for $2.6 million for the “WilsonTrask Wetlands Restoration Project.” Restoring the wetlands between Hoquarton Slough and Dougherty Slough out to the bay is part of the Southern Flow Corridor Project, Paul Levesque told commissioners. “We’ve been working on this since 2007.”

Half a million dollars of the grant will pay for final design, baseline monitoring, permitting and construction documents, Levesque said. Construction is still dependent on obtaining the $4.3 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is still “on appeal,” he said.

“We’re excited to be part of the process,” Tillamook Estuaries Partnership executive director Lisa Phipps told commissioners.

“We have lost 86% of the tidal wetlands in Tillamook Bay. This one project will restore almost ten percent of that loss,” she said.

Young coho, chinook and other salmonids use the food-rich wetlands as “rest stops” on their way

to the ocean, Phipps said, so having the wetlands restored will improve survival rates.

“It’s a great model for others up and down the coast,” Phipps suggested. “Environmental benefits and flood reduction benefits can be compatible.”

In other business, commissioners voted to accept a deed from county assessor and tax collector Denise Vandecoevering for properties foreclosed on for unpaid taxes in 2010 (“It takes two years,” Levesque told commissioners); approved a “nonprevailing wage” contract with Arden Olsen Building Inc. to seal the floor in the kitchen at the county jail (the old floor had cracks down to the concrete, commissioner Tim Josi said); and heard a presentation from Wendy Koelfgen of Clean Energy Works Oregon, which is selling wholehouse energy efficiency remodels in Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia counties. CEWO’s initial energy assessment, post-construction inspection, and 25% of construction costs (up to $1,750) are Federally subsidized, Koelfgen said. “We estimate there are 23,000 homes built before 1993” in the three counties that need the work, she said. (Homes built after 1993 are more energy-efficient, Koelfgen said.)

Stolen bug pulled from river

Sheriff’s Office deputies responded Sunday afternoon, Feb. 17, to reports of a vehicle in the Tillamook River. The car, a 1973 VW Super Beetle, was unoccupied. “The keys were in it,” Burden’s Towing personnel told the Headlight Herald. The vehicle, belonging to Alex Smith of Tillamook, had been reported stolen Saturday. The driver had apparently lost control and driven the car into the river from Frasier Road, near its intersection with Old Frasier Rd. Two Burden’s tow trucks were employed retrieving the vehicle from the river. The car is reportedly a total loss.

OR 130 to close for one day on Feb. 26 TILLAMOOK—The Oregon Department of Transportation will be closing OR 130 (Little Nestucca Highway) in both directions for one day on Tuesday, February 26 between mileposts 4.15 and 7.55. The highway will be closed

between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to conduct bridge inspections on four bridges in that area.

School buses, mail carriers and emergency vehicles will be accommodated through the closure area. Other motorists will use U.S. 101 and OR 22

as the detour route to bypass the closure area.

Variable message signs will be placed at key locations 10 days prior to the closure to provide motorists with advanced notification of the closure.

David Gomberg, representative to the Oregon legislature for District 10, which includes south Tillamook County, was the invited speaker at the meeting of Pacific City/Woods Community Planning Advisory Committee, on Feb.16 in Pacific City. About two dozen people attended.

Gomberg’s district, newly defined, ranges southwards from Tillamook to Waldport, and east to Sheridan. Although it includes much interior area, his district is “primarily coastal in nature,” he said. Gomberg is a member of the legislature’s coastal caucus, which meets weekly in Salem to discuss coastal issues.

Gomberg sees budget issues dominating this year’s legislative session, with a focus on reducing expenditures while maintaining essential services. One approach might be to strike a better balance between spending on prisons (annually about $30,000 per inmate) and spending on primary education (about $8,000 per student). He said reducing the number of inmates would be one way, but noted the limiting effect of mandatory sentences imposed by Measure 11.

Another possibility for cost reduction being discussed by lawmakers is to amend PERS, the pension system for state employees, by capping cost-of-living adjustments in relation to income level, by eliminating certain benefits to pensioners living out of state, and by controlling the practice of “spiking” to increase benefits by “artificially” increasing one’s earnings in the last two working years by, for example, piling on extra overtime.

Gomberg said the revenue forecast for the state is improving as the economy recovers. More workers mean more revenue, he said. The revenue would help with educational needs. “I’m a big supporter of our community college system,” Gomberg said.

“It’s a critical asset to small business… yet it’s funding has been going down over the years.”

Someone asked whether the state might help with maintenance of county roads. Infrastructure deterioration is a large issue statewide, according to Gomberg.

Deferred maintenance also is affecting state roads. He suggested the county needs to deal with its roads, to not expect much help from the state.

The subject of instituting a countywide transient room tax, as one way of funding road repair, provoked discussion, with focus on state law mandating a split of TRT revenues, 30% to general county uses (such as roads) and 70% to promotion of tourism (which cannot include road maintenance). The gist of comments suggested little chance of legislative action to revise the mandated split. Indirectly, tourism itself provides revenues to the county, and “30% of something is better than 100% of nothing,” said Gomberg.

Gomberg asked the audience what they think about a state sales tax. He received some lively feedback, mostly favorable to a sales tax, with some expressing a need for adjustments to other tax rates to compensate.

David Yamamoto, a CPAC member, talked about the recent decision by the state’s Land Conservation and Development Commission to designate the PCNestucca shore as a prime area for ocean-energy device deployment. Gomberg said he had attended the public meeting at which the LCDC discussed and voted on this issue. He was not happy with the lack of explicit consideration the LCDC gave to the findings of the Ocean Policy Advisory Committee and the Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee, both recommending no ocean energy development off the PC-Nestucca shore. Several

CPAC members expressed dismay at the process that led to LCDC’s decision. Gomberg said several legislators are looking into the matter.

Before leaving, Gomberg asked all to send him input as to what we want to happen in the legislature this year, to give some direction to the legislature.

The CPAC’s business continued: The land-use committee reported the county has issued permits for construction in PC of a 3,000 sq-ft restaurant with basement parking, near the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Sunset Drive, and of a single-family dwelling near the southern end of Cindy Lane.

The lighting committee reported progress: the use of “down lighting” is increasing.

Barbara Taylor reported that the work-force housing task force is close to having a draft ordnance ready for CPAC review prior to submission to the county planning department.

Attention was directed to a workshop to be held by county commissioners on Tuesday, Feb 26 at 1:30 pm to meet with the CPAC chairs county-wide and the county planning commission to discuss the role of the CPACs. The workshop will be held in the commissioners’ meeting rooms in the Tillamook County Courthouse.

Tillamook takes third straight Regional Title, qualifies 17 for State

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Tillamookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and dedication this season finally paid off when the Mook wrestlers claimed their third straight Regional Title.

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

After pulling out a dominant performance in Districts on Feb. 9, in which Tillamook Wrestling took their eighth straight District Title, the Cheesemakers headed to Scappoose to take on the rest of the teams in the 4A Special District 1 Regional meet.

The addition of a North Marion, Gladstone, Molalla and Estacada to teams they wrestled in Districts didn't slow down the Cheesemakers. If anything, the extra competition sparked the 25 qualified Tillamook wrestlers to their best efforts. When it was all over, Tillamook had left a trail of broken and bruised opponents in their wake as they marched to a third straight Regional Championship.

Like they've done all season, Tillamook put together a team effort, scoring 289 points. Scappoose was the next closest team with 221.5 and Estacada ended in third with 148 points.

To qualify for the State Meet on Feb. 22-23 At the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, wrestlers had to

place in the top four at Regionals. Of the 25 wrestlers Tillamook brought to the tournament, 17 of them ended in the top four to make State with seven wrestlers making it to the finals and two Cheesemakers winning the Regional Title.

The State qualifying Tillamook wrestlers were: Justin Coon finishing third at 106; Austin Werner finishing third at 113; Anthony Imel taking fourth at 120; Logan Weeks taking first at 132; Kody Pruilehre taking second at 132; Jake Fowler taking second at 138; Drew Owens taking third at 138; Ronald Allen taking third at 152; Micha Kawano taking fourth at 152; Jonas Ayala-Sanchez taking first at 160; Myron More taking second at 170; Billy Prince taking third at 170; Jordan Thompson taking second at 182; Rafael Gomez taking second of at 195; Marcus Cheney taking first at 220; Jose Santiago taking second at 285; and Dylan Jackman taking fourth at 285. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventeen State qualifiers is about the number we were looking for,â&#x20AC;? said Tillamook head coach Lonnie Eggert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didn't get all the ones I thought we'd get but because of some really tough weight

classes, and we lost some close matches, but we did get a few guys who wrestled really well and stepped up to qualify.â&#x20AC;?

All season Eggert has stresses the teamwork and all-for-one mentality this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has. That unselfish attitude has never been more obvious than it was for Tillamook in the 138 pound weight class.

Jake Fowler and Drew Owens are both very talented wrestlers for the Cheesemakers at 138 pounds with Fowler being the high ranked wrestler going into the meet. Fowler dislocated his elbow in practice a few days before the meet, but he wasn't about to give up. With his injured arm heavily wrapped, Fowler still took the mat for his first match in hopes of qualifying for State. With one arm, Fowler beat his opponent 8-2 and was matched up against his teammate Owens in his next match. A win would qualify Fowler for State. A loss and he'd have to wrestle back for a shot at qualifying.

See 3-PEAT, Page A10

The work the Neah-Kah-Nie and Nestucca wrestlers put in this season was all building up to the District Tournament they attended in Vernonia on Feb. 15-16.

Both Tillamook County teams were on the low side as far number of wrestlers, which hurts them in the team scoring.

But, they both did all they could and the Pirates ended up finishing in seventh place while the Bobcats were a little better, finishing in fifth.

The Pirates might not have had great team results, but they did get a few very good individual performances from their top wrestlers.

Matt Clayton took the District Title in the 120 pound class with a 15-4 win in the finals. In an interesting twist of events, Alejandro Quintana and Logan Romig met in the finals at 132 pounds. The teammates who wrestle against each other everyday in practice are very evenly matched, but Quintana got the better of Romig and took the title with a 10-6 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They're both good enough to meet in the finals at State, but they'll have to wrestle well to get there,â&#x20AC;? said Pirate wrestling coach Don Zellner.

Also going to the State meet for the Pirates is Lady Pirate Rebecca Savage. Savage already won the State Title for the girls, but she'll be wrestling the girl she beat before for to make it very clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess they want her to prove it,â&#x20AC;? Zellner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as our guys, their rankings don't mean much at this point. When you're wrestling eight-man brackets at State, you're going to run into really good wrestlers right away. There's no getting away from them, but our guys are capable of winning a State Title if they wrestle well.â&#x20AC;?

NCRD represented by ‘Stingrays’ Page A10 - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, February 20 - Headlight Herald

Headlight Herald Sports

NCRD was represented for the first time by the Stingrays at an officially sanctioned swim meet. Eight swimmers from the 25-member NCRD Swim Team participated in a total of 35 events February 2 and 3 in Forest Grove, Oregon. Attending this first meet exposed swimmers to a broader world of competition and the requirements involved, giving more meaning to their weekly practices. “Swim Team isn’t easy and they swim hard,” says Coach Kiley Konruff. She adds, “they come to practice with smiles on their faces and positive attitudes every week.”

As a swimming instructor and lifeguard, Coach Konruff has been actively involved in aquatics for many years. Within the last few months she has been studying to receive several certifications through USA Swimming to become a registered coach. “It has been a long few months with TONS of testing to make this all possible,” says Konruff.

In addition to Konruff being a coaching member, swimmers are also members of USA Swimming and Oregon Swim-

ming, national and state governing bodies for the sport of swimming that administer competitive swimming in accordance with the Olympic & Amateur Sports Act. As such, participating members are eligible for state championships.

Two more meets are planned for this school year for swimmers Grades 1-5. “I’m excited to be teaching the older kids butterfly and adding that event along with the individual medley to our next meet,” says Konruff. She continues, “next year my goal is to attend 4

meets and grow bigger, better and stronger each year.”

It has been a big learning process for Konruff and her team. Having the support of assistant coaches Jenna Gray and Denise Drake and swim team parents has been invaluable. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without them,” she says.

To join, contact NCRD Aquatics at 503.368.7121 or Coach Kiley Konruff at 503.812.7679 or kkonruff@gmail.com.

and local Tillamook County Chapter of the Oregon Hunters Association.

On February 4, 2013 at approximately 7:30 a.m., OSP was notified by a citizen that a bull elk was seen lying in a field near milepost 8 off Blaine Road. Another citizen stated about two hours earlier they saw nearly a dozen elk at the same location. A trooper responded to the location and

seized the elk for salvage and evidence.

A reward of up to $1,000 dollars is offered by the Oregon Hunters Association Turn-InPoachers (TIP) reward program for information leading to the arrest and conviction in this case.

latitude and longitude, you can locate your position anywhere on earth. This course will provide the navigator with the knowledge to interpret the chart’s contents to navigate safely to their destination and return to port. Text and training chart is included. This is a 3-hour class.

Suddenly In Command: The captain becomes incapacitated or falls overboard; you purchase a new boat and step aboard for the first time. You are Suddenly In Command.

This 4-hour boating safety primer is designed for those not generally at the helm, and will help you to “be prepared” with the basics in case of an emergency. Literature contains many horror stories about a passenger, who does not know how to start the engine or operate the radio, watching in horror as a strong wind blows the boat away faster than a captain

who has fallen overboard can swim. Misfortune occurs in seconds, and you have the rest of your life to be grateful that you knew what to do because you were prepared.

About Boating Safely: This beginner boating class will give you the knowledge needed to obtain a boat license or safety certification in many states.

Many boat insurance companies will offer discounts on boating insurance to boaters who successfully complete About Boating Safely. Topics include Introduction to Boating, Boating Law, Boat Safety Equipment, Safe Boating, Navigation, Boating Problems, Trailering, Storing and Protecting Your Boat and Hunting and Fishing, Water-skiing and River Boating. This is an 8-hour class taught in one full day.

From left, Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates Alejandro Quintana and teammate Logan Romig met in the championship match in the 138 pound weight class and have a good chance of meeting there again at the State Tournament.

2A DISTRICTS: The Bobcats won more matches than the Pirates and ended up with a few District Champions of their own.

Lucas Leslie took his second District Title and will be the No. 1 seed going into State.

Sam Kenagy also won the title for the Bobcats.

Kenagy took the heavyweight championship.

Ryan Leslie finished in third place for the Bobcats and according to head coach Cameron Mitchem, he was 38 seconds away from wrestling in the finals.

“He was ahead in the only match he lost 4-1 and with 38 seconds left he got called for a full and he got tired,” Mitchem explained. “I think he was wrestling not to lose and got reversed

and ended up losing 6-5. Had he made one less mistake, we'd have won and made State.”

Nate Parke wrestled well, finishing in second and earning himself a State berth. Cody Fouche and Roberto Soto both finished in fifth, Anthony Sutherland finished in sixth, Austin Woods took fourth, and Tim Streeter took fourth.

“Everyone we entered placed,” Mitchem said. Overall I thought we wrestled well. Going into I thought we' get 2 qualifiers for sure, possibly, three and four would have been a perfect meet. We were close but ended up with only Parks and Leslie. Both of which have a very good shot to place.”

Continued from Page A9

Owens willfully forfeited his match to Fowler to qualify Fowler then wrestled his own way back to a qualifying spot.

“Drew has already beat the kid who took first place and he had a chance to win Regionals but he sacrificed that for a teammate,” Eggert explained.

“We had a lot of confidence in Drew's ability to qualify and this spoke volumes about his character.”

“We had a lot of other great performances too. Dylan Jackman wrestled out of his mind to make it to State and Jose Santiago beat a very good No. 1 to reach the finals. Markus Cheney wrestled really well to win his class. Rafael Gomez did a great job at 195. Jordan

Thompson looked good taking second place.

“We've been working hard and since January we've been putting things together and wrestling as well as well as we can with this group.”

Now that State is right around the corner, Tillamook has their work cut out for them at State with Crook County and Henley qualifying as many or more wrestlers at Tillamook.

“We want to be a top four trophy team,” Eggert said. “If we wrestle well, we can do it.

Without Jake, it's going to be hard, but our other guys will step up. There's no reason to think they wont. That's how this program works.”

Tillamook’s donkey tradition

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, February 20 - Page A11

Headlight Herald Sports

Between the June Dairy Parade, Pig n' Ford Races and The Tillamook Smoker, there are many traditions that are very unique to the City of Tillamook. Oddly enough many of them include animals. Sometimes the animals are driven around in circles.

Other times we celebrate taking their milk, but only one Tillamook tradition actually involves riding the animals.

And that timeless classic, is Donkey Basketball.

Like most years, the classes, farmers and firemen segregated themselves and went head to head in hopes of earning Charity Drive bragging rights that will last them all year. This year was no different.

The sophomores started the party in style, putting a whipping on the freshman 6-0 in the opening game. It was apparent right away the donkeys were going to be their typical stubborn selves.

In the second game the seniors took care of business and beat the juniors handily, 8-2. Then it was the Firemen and the farmers turned to take to the donkeys. The farmers simply couldn't get it done and the firefighters beat them, 4-0.

The seniors then had to play the sophomores to see which one would take on the

firemen for the Donkey Basketball title. Well, the seniors established upperclassman dominance and beat the sophomores, 6-2 to set up a showdown that might go down in Donkey Basketball history.

The Championship game came right down to the wire, and with a big comeback, the game went into overtime where the seniors took the title.

There were some firemen who weren't too happy with

“It's a lot harder shooting off a donkey than it looks,” said volunteer firemen Brandon Abbott. “I would practice on like a sawhorse or something but they don't move enough to make it realistic so I think I'm going to try and just ride on Vance Wetzel's back while he runs around the court and practice my shooting.”

The Tillamook Smoker is like no other event in the community. The fighters are coming from all different walks of life. Some are old, others are young. Some are trained, some aren't. It's a mash up of boxing and athletic ability like no other that leaves every person who watches the event thinking to themselves, “I should do that next year.” But, for those who do fight in the Smoker, it’s a battle of biblical proportions.

Local boxing and MMA trainer Eric Banks had a few great things to say about the young fighters he's worked

with getting them ready for the Smoker.

“I worked with about eight of the boxers and everyone is super proud of them for going out there and going for it,” Banks said.

Tillamook Boxing Club Trainer Walt DeCambra has been involved in the Smoker since he fought in it over 30 years ago and according to him, this year's event was another big hit.

“It was one of the biggest turnouts we've had in a while as far as people who wanted to fight,” DeCambra said. “We got to really watch some good fighters and there were some good fights. The turnout was

good and I'm already looking forward to the next Smoker.”

To so many people, boxing seems like a barbaric sports that's very unsafe, but DeCambra and Banks both feel otherwise. In fact, they actually think it's much safer than the alternatives.

“This for Charity Drive and a Fund Raiser, so safety is my number one concern,” DeCambra said. “The crowd didn't like it sometime when I stopped the fight, but I know better.”

Banks adds to that, “We're just a bunch of guys who like to punch each other in the face instead of do drugs or drink and call that fun.”

23rd annual NCRD Pool-a-Thon GRADUATION The North Coast Recreation District (NCRD) is holding its 23rd annual Poola-Thon fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 23, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The proceeds from the Pool-a-Thon support the Nehalem Elementary School Swim & Water Safety Awareness, which has existed in some form since 1930.

The drowning of two local teenage boys in 1930 prompted the community to ask the school district to add a natatorium. Even though it was during the Great Depression, there was overwhelming community support to teach every child how to swim to avoid future tragedies.

83 years later in this area surrounded by water & dominated by water related recreation, we continue to accomplish our mission of providing swim instruction and water safety to all Nehalem Elementary School students, while instilling the value of swimming as a lifetime skill and healthy recreational activity. The skills they learn in the pool could save lives.

By pledging money or making a donation to a student swimmer, you can help guarantee all the children will continue to benefit from this vital and historic program. Historically the com-

Page B2 - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, February 20, 2013 - Headlight Herald y son Lucas died on Feb. 16, 2009.

He was 27 years old. I promised myself that each year I would share his wise message. If it touches one person, we have made a difference.

There was a “Celebration of Life” for Greg Rencken on Saturday, February 16 at 2 p.m. at the Upstairs Bar & Grill. Greg was Mitzie Johnson’s significant other. They were the love of each other’s life, a love that was obvious to everyone who knew them.

Greg fought valiantly against cancer for 2 years. He left this world on Feb. 3 2013 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. Our friend is now free from pain and at peace.

Greg – Your smile, sense of humor, and love for Mitzie will always be remembered.

Jim and Nancy Young had their first grandchild! Their son Chris and his wife Theresa are proud parents of 17 month, Willow Ruyi. The couple spent Nov. in China going through the adoption process and finally brought their baby girl home around December 15, 2012.

Congratulations Jim and Nancy. I’m sure Grandpa will have some beautiful pictures of baby Willow!

The Netarts Community Club held their monthly Potluck on February 19. The theme was aptly, “Warm your Heart.” The potluck social and a brief business meeting were held. Anyone interested in being in charge/volunteering for the “Clam Chowder Feed” on Memorial Day is asked to please respond. This was a very

popular community event, but due to difficulty in finding adequate leadership and volunteers it was canceled for the last two years. Please help bring this annual tradition back! Entertainment was provided by Ted Arthur and Wayne Tucker with their “Arlo Guthrie” style music.

Seana Louise Stephenson decided that her “Valentine Day Birthday” gift each year would be to help the Tillamook Animal Shelter. This year she set a goal of $400 and the first TAS benefit was held on Feb.16. I know that she has already surpassed her expectations. Seana received a $1000 donation from a single donor! I will give a full report on the amounts of money, food and animal supplies received at the benefit, including the winner of the $500+ “Week-end in a Basket” raffle!

Only three days left to sign up for the Chili Cook-Off!!!

I will also give a report on the Netarts Community Park meeting held on Feb. 16. By the way, Deputy Dave Jungling has agreed to bring the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Work Crew out to replace the entire fence around the basketball court! The Netarts Park Committee will supply the material.

Many, many years ago I told my son Lucas, “Live each day to the fullest. Get the most out of each hour, each day and each age of you life. Then you can look forward with confidence and back without regrets.” Lucas – you lived your life!

attended Your Heart’s Desire, Community Arts Project’s annual gala and fundraiser at the Kiawanda Community Center last Saturday evening. The event was a perfect kick-off to celebrating my own fifty third birthday last Sunday. Familiar folks in attendance included: Kim and Mark Cavatorta, Ginger Harlowe Allen, Shirley Brown, Nick Gelbard, Dana Hulburt, Tam Hulburt, Kristen Ireton, Julius Jortner, Melanie Merryman, Joy Neufeld, Jim and Nancy Oleson, Theresa Roberts, Nicole Royster, Pat Sears and Misty Wharton, among many others.

Jim and Nancy Oleson of Pacific City honored me by purchasing the first art I’ve ever created for public consumption -- a twelve by twelve inch community themed collage using watercolor, paper and pastels that featured a favorite quote: “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” Dave and Danielle Hurd of Bay City were in Pacific City for his birthday weekend and saved me a place at their table where we conversed over the assembled throng and the jazz ensemble’s live performance.

On the subject of happy celebrations, Helen Annen, of Rockaway, called awhile back requesting that I include a grateful thank you to south Tillamook County customers of her Pampered Pet Grooming business for years of patronage and a fine retirement party. More than sixty

Sighted on Cape Meares Beach Feb. 8, 2013 by Pete and Ellen Steen were twelve eagles all sitting there on the sand near a sea lion carcass. It was quite a sight to see.

Eagles are thriving here, but we are losing many of our seabirds like the Common Mur-

mom or dad, and get ready to have some fun! They are also looking for donations of art supplies like magazines, googly eyes, fabric, yarn feathers, buttons, ribbon, etc.; the supplies will be used at a craft activity table during the sleepover.

Donations can be brought to the school office.

Also a reminder, if you have an incoming kindergartner or know of one for the 2013/2014 school year, please call the office at 503 - 355 - 3650 or 888 - 218 - 2455 to make sure they know and can get you information. Kindergarten PreRegistration will be held on May 9,2013 at 9:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

This is so exciting. I have been able to attend this two times before with our boys, and I will be able to attend this time with our daughter and see how her reaction is compared to our boys.

The Nehalem City Hall at 35900 8th Street will be having a meet and greet on March 1, 2013 starting at 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. so come on over and meet the City manager Dale Shafer and the assistant city recorder Emily Holt.

If your looking for something to do inside why not check out the Hoffman Center on Saturday February 23rd and see a film - "Rivers and Tides"

at 7:30 p.m. It is a 2001 documentary film that follows British artist Andy Goldsworthy as he creates art in natural settings using materials such as driftwood, ice, mud, leaves, and stones. The film runs 90 minutes and admission is $7.00; refreshments are available for purchase. If you like documentaries, give it a try -- it sounds interesting and unique.

I would like to let the Boy Scouts of Troop 178 know I heard from a few people on how great you all were at the NCRD while taking your six hour CPR and first aid certification and merit badge. Also with the fantastic instructors Velda Handler and Marvin Hirte. But for you all to sit for six hours learning everything and not complaining was wonderful!

Hey, February 21st is National Sticky Bun Day and the 22nd is National Margarita Day along with International World Thinking Day so why not get some sticky buns for breakfast, pick up the margarita mix for tomorrow and do some "happy" thinking!

The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) and TLC Federal Credit Union have announced the cast of their upcoming production, Memory, which consists of two one-act plays written by different playwrights, both exploring memory and growing older in different ways. In I Can’t Remember Anything (written

by Arthur Miller) two old friends trade lighthearted banter and stinging exchanges to express their conflicting views of “life’s truths”. In The 75th (written by Israel Horovitz) two classmates reconnect at their 75th high school reunion.

The cast includes Sandra Koops, Robert Kratz, Bill Farnum, and Terri Winkle. Farnum, who has been involved in theater since 1980 is also directing the show. Memory opens this Friday, February 22 and runs through March 9 at The Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook. Reserved seating is available at Diamond Art Jewelers, 503- 8427940. For information, contact info@tillamooktheater.com.

The highway will be closed to conduct inspections on four bridges in that area.

School buses, mail carriers and emergency vehicles will be accommodated through the closure area. Other motorists will use U.S. Highway 101

and OR State Route 22 as a detour to bypass the closure area.

res because of so many Eagles in the vicinity. The Murres have not been successful nesting at Cape Meares for several years.

Farther south at Yaquina Head the Common Murres have had more success nesting. No Puffins have nested for many years at Cape Meares. Oyster Catchers, Peregrine Falcons and other birds also trying to nest at Cape Meares have not been successful lately.

It was a surprise to see a realtor sign posted across Fourth Street. N.W., Cape Meares at Ciel Downing's. She had spent so much time working on her house and landscaping the yard, I thought it was her dream house and yard. Dreams can go by the wayside. These are trying times with the economy in such a state.

It is sure hard to get anything done outside these days.

When I plan on spending a few hours working outside and listening to the weather reports, still we have rain here in Cape Meares. I can get one thing

done at a time on a dry day, of which we have had few. I washed the car one day before the rain started again. I trimmed a few dead branches another dry day before my feet got so cold I had to come inside.

Sure need a warm up of temperature outside. Watching the news for deep snows in other parts of the nation and tornados too should make me realize that we have it pretty good here. But I get restless this time of year because there is so much to do outside and I just can't get started. Spring is on the way though. March should give us a sunny day occasionally. Sure looking forward to it.

I was glad to see that Lori Carpenter is still writing her Fencepost column for Netarts. I missed her informative articles while she was out of town for a few weeks.

Call the Tillamook County Extension Office, (503) 8423433 if you are interested in registering for the Master Gardeners to come to your yard to trim bushes in March.

If you wake up one morning and you feel like you want to quit, don’t, but sleep in. The power to go on lies in your heart and in the hearts of those you love.

Harness the power and begin to live, because when you die, you better be prepared to go to the next level. So live now.

Remember, some of the best dreams you’ll ever have are the ones you have when you’re awake, and those are the dreams you need to turn into reality. Memories are dreams you’ve already lived, but don’t hold too tightly to those memories, because it is imperative to make new ones.

Don’t fight yourself because you might win, and if you beat yourself you lose. Never label yourself. Part of feeling good is looking good, but if you can’t feel good without looking good you are doing something wrong.

The only person you have to please is yourself, but when you please others it becomes a whole lot easier to please yourself. Someday you’ll look back on your life and if you can’t say you’re still happy, I’m sorry.

– Lucas Mackay, 1999

ow, it's almost the end of February.

Where does the time go? I'm ready for spring.

Sun sure makes a difference in our moods. But meanwhile, we all need to enjoy the 'goings on' in our town right now.

The Tillamook County Master Gardeners are having their seventh one-day Community Pruning Day on March 2, 2013.

Their goal is to provide pruning assistance to those in Tillamook County who are unable to do so themselves due to physical limitations. So look around. If you see them working in our community, be sure to give them a thumbs-up.

To keep up to date on the events on in our city, the City of Rockaway Beach has a Facebook page and a wonderful website. (www.rockawaybeachor.us) They also post photo submissions from folks in the community.

The Meals for Seniors Program extends an invitation to all in Tillamook County to join them for lunch. It is served at 11:30 am every Mon, Wed and Fri at St. Mary's by the Sea in Rockaway Beach. They ask for a $4 donation for the meals, which includes salad, dessert, juice and coffee.

The program could also use volunteers with serving and in the kitchen! If you can help, please contact Bob at 503 355 3244. Remember "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another."

ver wonder how our little library survives?

With your help, of course -- by becoming Friends of the Library with your membership dues of only $2.00 a year and your tax deductible contributions, allowing our library and others in the county to maintain. Your help is always appreciated and volunteers are always welcome. Becoming a library friend member is an excellent way to show your support.

Wonderful things are happening at the 2nd Street Market this month: Saturday Feb 16 Alternative Rock Youth Concert from 7 10Pm 5$ cover at the door.

Local Youth bands playing Friday Feb 22 Coaster will be back in the Market from 5 to 7PM Saturday Feb 23 Fourth Quarter will be playing from 1 3PM. This is a newly formed band in the making All Month long Art will be displayed by Star Photography The following information was forwarded to me by Gordon McCraw to share with you: Gleneden OR -- A derelict 27’ boat that washed ashore near Gleneden Beach Feb. 5 was safely removed from ocean shore 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6. The incident is a reminder that both usual and tsunami-related debris require year-round attention. People who sight unusual amounts of debris can report it by calling 211 (1-800SAFENET), or by sending an email to beach.debris@state.or.us.

I was finally able to get down to the library to pick out my salmon this year. Once the

NOTES FROM THE COAST Symphony will be performing at the Rockaway Community Church again this year. The performance is Sun, Feb 24th from 3-5. Admission is $12. Children under 12 with an adult are free.

I've heard only positive comments about last year's performance. This will help perk up an otherwise cold wet winter. Contact Cliff at 503 368 6321.

Just a reminder again that you can contribute to the "Tom Martine Defense Fund" by donating at any US Bank anywhere.

To all of you who know Phil and Pat Fletcher, Pat has recently seen a doctor and not had such a good diagnosis. Let's fill her post box with get-well wishes, and help a bad situation be more bearable. Contact Tom for her address at 503 355 2402. St. Mary's bulletin had this information and I thought it was worth sharing. This is a list of local organizations that serve the needs of others. So whether it is cash donations or volunteering your services; here are a few suggestions, Salvation Army, C.A.R.E., Inc, North County Food PantryWheeler, Rockaway And Garibaldi Lions Club, Secret Angels-Nehalem, Meals for Seniors, Inc, and the Marie Mills Center.

On Saturday night head to the Lions Club for bingo from 610pm. For your double dose, go up to the community center where the Parks and Rec has a game on Sunday from 1-3. I'm learning we can never say there's nothing to do in the winter in our town!

A little information about the Lions... they have been giving to communities since 1917. Their members help with local projects as well as an extensive international program. If you see a Lion out and about, talk to them and find out just what this club does.

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain!" That's Rockaway Beach "Sugar Coated!"

salmon hatch they are called alevin’s and each one has a yolk sac attached to its belly. Alevins do not have to hunt for food until they have used up all the yolk sac. After that they are called fry or parr. Some fry develop spots or stripes called parr marks that help camouflage them from predators. Coho and Chinook fry may remain in the stream after they are released for a year or more before migrating. Some stay in the parr stage for from 2 to 6 years. Right now I want to tell you about my little fish I picked. His name is Auti (named from autisms which is close to my heart). I found Auti wiggling in the gravelly rocks all by himself crying out to me to pick him. He looks to be very big and strong. I picked his name because of the small correlation between the small fish and those with autism (speaking from my experience with my grandson Cole) they are so much alike in that they would rather go off by themselves where it is quiet and calm. They both appear strong but have their weaknesses, neither of them know what their future holds for them, they can’t either of them do any long term planning for their future. They both are caring and compassionate to those that venture toward them. They have a problem understanding what all the excitement is in the other corner of their world. I want Auti to have a bright and full future, just like I want for Cole. But God only knows what each of our futures hold for us and I trust God to guide both of them to their destiny. I was told the release of the salmon will be held sometime in March. I hope to share that news with you so that anyone that would like to, can help release them. Auti and I will be there and hope you will too. Life is good, but life can be too short sometimes, just remember to love the ones you are with no matter what the circumstances are.

Happy Birthday wishes and blessings go out this month to: David Hurd, Leota Olson, Tom Bulger, Sue Walker and Marilyn Filosi.

Have a great week, and see you around town

Mr. News Guy explains politial correctivity

I

t’s time once again for Mr. News Guy to explain to you the mysteries of language and how to talk good, specifically, how not to be politically non-incorrect. If you’re here to learn when to use popular words like killer, sweet, raw, sick, choice and bad, you’re at the wrong column. If you’re here to learn when to use nifty and far out, I’m sorry to inform you, John Denver died in 1997.

Hidden in these politically correct (PC) phrases, of course, are many contradictions.

How can bad and all good mean the same, as does Uber (German), Kosher (Jewish), Primo (Italian) and Wicked (Disney)?

The Swedish have generously offered to help us out of the politically incorrect jungle regarding gender-neutral personal pronouns, even though we hardly know each other. They have Han for masculine He, Hon for feminine Her (I already see a problem there), and have generously offered Hen for both male and female. I’m sure my wife would approve because I know hen.

Now off-limits is Holding Down the Fort, offensive to Native Americans, since we all know whom the fort was being held down against. Handicap is also off limits from the disabled reference, and can be offensive to beggars, as in with cap in hand. Happy Holidays will join Christmas, already under siege, because it originated from holy in holidays.

You’re also not allowed Xmas because X is the Greek letter ‘chi,’ representing the first two

letters of Christ. The favored word substitute for prayer is now thoughts, as in keep hen in your thoughts.

The word English is not permitted because of the dominance of the English language SCHUBERT worldwide and is looked upon as linguisMOORE tic imperialism or Westschubert906@gmail.com ern Hegemony. Hegemonies are PC unless they block your neighbor’s view.

Whatever do we do with OMG and butt monkey, as in I will not be the butt monkey to further ridicule? OMG is okay because it isn’t technically a prayer, but butt monkey just sounds dirty and so best to avoid.

Twitterverse is PC unless combined with one of the Kardashians, the mixture of which renders it toxic.

One must be very careful with the phrase, Not Too Black (see definition below, Not Too White).

Not Too White (see Not Too Black).

China Takes Over The World is permitted if spoken with a bow (previously, Japan Takes Over The World, but Japan found it couldn’t afford it.)

If you’re from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, you may say almost anything and avoid

being politically incorrect if you add, bless your heart, as in, I heard one of your parents was a mule, bless your heart.

Apocalypse, Frankenstorm, Obamagedden, God Particle, Rogue Nukes, Near Earth Asteroid, any one of which may wipe out all life as we know it on our planet, are all politically correct if pronounced properly.

Dutch Treat is possibly offensive to the Dutch, since it portrays them as either (take your choice) thrifty (good) or stingy (bad) (See also Scottish/Jewish) Global Warming is not PC, but Climate Change is, although this probably makes little difference to you if you have a polar bear shedding in your swimming pool.

It is still politically correct to use master/slave computer jargon to describe the editor/columnist relationship.

Hipster is not PC if you’re over thirty. Hipsters are often spotted wearing vintage thriftstore-inspired fashions, slim-fit jeans and thick-rimmed glasses flaunting their swag. It is not PC to flaunt your swag unless your swag is way hotter and renders you a hipster. If you’re over seventy, hipster is PC, since having come around again you’re grandfathered in.

Liking on Facebook or other websites is PC if you’re a dull sheep who wouldn’t know an original thought if it bit you on your swag.

It’s never PC to use fracking in mixed company.
