LONGEST RUNNING BUSINESS IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY • SINCE 1888

The future of Garibaldi’s iconic smokestack was debated by the Garibaldi City Council Monday night, March 18, and demolition was proposed.

Built in 1927, the smokestack – one of the tallest manmade structures on the Oregon coast – was the landmark of the Hammond Lumber Company, for a time the largest lumber mill on the coast. The stack, built of thick reinforced concrete, replaced two metal smokestacks, and was reportedly built tall deliberately, to improve air quality in the town. It’s weathered 86 years of often inclement weather, but it’s started to disintegrate and has become a safety hazard, realtor Rob Trost advised the city council.

Trost is general manager of Old Mill Investment LLC and one of the owners of the former mill property on Garibaldi’s waterfront, where the smokestack is located. A wide area around the structure is currently fenced off with barbed wire, to keep the public away from potential falling debris.

The cost to have the smokestack demolished

State Bar complaint against DA

by a private company is prohibitive, Trost suggested. City manager John O’Leary agreed.

“The estimated demolition cost is close to half a million dollars,” O’Leary told the council.

However, the National Guard could do it, O’Leary suggested, as part of their “Innovative Readiness Training Program”; they could absorb personnel and equipment costs, and treat it as a training exercise. “I think demolition is the most final solution,” O’Leary told the council. “I’m not sure making it safe is an option.”

The Guard would only be willing to do the work, though, if the property were owned by a public entity. Trost, who attended the meeting, offered to donate the stack and surrounding land to the city. “We’re not talking about a large piece,” Trost cautioned. “We could have a remnant of the stack there,” he suggested.

In his letter to the city, Trost said Old Mill would absorb the city’s costs in the demolition effort, “so the public is not underwriting our development activities but enabling us to employ resources not normally available to private entities.”

A complaint against Tillamook District Attorney William Porter has been forwarded to disciplinary council for consideration.

The complaint was issued by William Porter Sherry Petty, whose brother Ronald Lunsford is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence on manslaughter charges for killing Chris Brusman in January 2010. Petty filed the complaint alleging that Porter didn’t disclose all the evidence to the prosecution.

The undisclosed evidence was several emails back and forth between the victim’s wife and Porter discussing the issue of whether the victim was paying Lunsford rent for parking his trailer on the property, and whether Lunsford entered the trailer the night that he killed Brusman without being invited in.

For the unlawful entry Lunsford was charged with burglary and the state was able to seek aggravated murder charges.

Porter said in a letter addressed to the Oregon State Bar, dated Nov. 13, 2012, that it was the victim’s widow’s response to a question posed by the defense counsel that uncovered new evidence, “previously unknown to either side… Regarding defendant’s knowledge of the verbal rental agreement.”

Porter also stated this verbal agreement doesn’t show up anywhere in the emails.

U.S. Supreme Court rules in runoff lawsuit

The six-year-old lawsuit over whether runoff from logging roads is “industrial pollution” requiring a Federal discharge permit has been settled – in Tillamook County’s favor – by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court issued its opinion Wednesday, March 20, reversing a 2010 decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals had ruled in favor of the Northwest Environmental Defense Center (NEDC), which had sued the Oregon Department of Forestry, Tillamook County and several

other entities back in 2006. The NEDC, based at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, claimed that runoff from the Trask River Road and Sam Downs Road, both in the Tillamook State Forest, increased turbidity in the South Fork Trask and Little South Fork Kilchis Rivers, respectively. Tillamook County was a party to the lawsuit because the roads were located in Tillamook County.

“If that ruling had stood, it could have radically changed the rules governing runoff from forest roads,” noted Dan Postrel, public affairs director for the Oregon Department of Forestry.

“Forest landowners would have been forced into as Federal permitting process for rainwater running off such roads.”

Four timber companies, two forestry associations, and Tillamook County appealed in November 2011 to the Supreme Court to overturn the Court of Appeals decision. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case Dec. 2, 2012.

The Supreme Court’s opinion was authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who noted that the Federal Environmental Protection Agency claimed it intended to exempt the transportation of logs under its “Silvicultural Rule,” and specifical-

ly did so in a revised rule promulgated just three days before the Supreme Court heard the case in December.

Japanese tsunami debris could have cultural significance

Meet Meet thousands thousands of of potential potential customers customers in in just just two two days! days!

Oceanside received its first tsunami debris Thursday, March 2, including a piece that could be one of the most culturally significant pieces to arrive on this coast. Several pieces of structural wood, a couple of them large, washed ashore Thursday just below the Oceanside post office. “The biggest one came in overnight,” Oceanside resident Gordon Rood told the Headlight Herald, “it was on the beach Friday morning.”

The wood, all hand-shaped, was presumed to be part of a structure damaged in the Japanese earthquake and tsunami that happened March 11, 2011.

The largest piece, an estimated 16 feet long and shaped from a single piece of wood, had been brightly painted red, though it is now partially covered with marine organisms. Its shape resembles the top, horizontal part, the “kasagi,” of a type of free-standing arch

found in Japan called a “torii”.

A torii is a Japanese temple gate used to mark the entrance of a sacred site.

Another Oceanside resident, John Engstrom, called the Headlight Herald office Friday to advise he had stopped some Oregon State Parks employees from cutting up the large pieces, and had urged them to call their superiors. The debris

was later hauled off intact.

The “torii” is being stored in a secured state park maintenance yard, waiting on word from the Consular Office of Japan in Portland for advice on next steps, state parks’ Chris Havel advised.

By Saturday morning, only one structural beam – the smallest – remained on the beach.

Hospital’s new clinic building to open May 16

Work is proceeding apace on Tillamook General Hospital’s new Medical Plaza building, located east of the hospital building on Third Street.

The 20,000 square foot building, designed by Clark Kjos Architects of Portland, is being built by Skanska USA, the same firm constructing the Near Space building at the Port of Tillamook Bay. An open house has been scheduled for Thursday, May 16. “We’ll be open for business probably the next week,� Melody Ayers told the Headlight Herald. Ayers is Development and Marketing Director for the hospital.

The new building will house the hospital’s urgent care, cardiology, podiatry, medical imaging, internal medicine, family medicine, general and orthopedic surgery departments, Ayers said.

Nephrology (kidneys) and ophthalmology (eyes) will stay in their current locations.

A couple of the doctors were involved in planning the facility, Ayers said. The new building is designed to make it easier for doctors to confer with each other, and also easier to get to patients. “They’re not stacking up like a bad freeway,� she

said.

Physicians’ offices will be located in the “atrium� in the center of the building, with patient rooms around the outside. The doctors will have primary areas where they practice, but “if we’re having a busy day, any doctor can go into any room,� Ayers said. “We finally came to the realization we need a place where we can do wellness,� Ayers said. “The space we had over there (at 980 Third Street) wasn’t going to work for that,� she said. “We looked at other clinics and talked to the people working there. We want this to last for a good long time.� Groundbreaking for the $4.5 million facility was last June.

Ayers hopes the new facility will enable the hospital to recruit more doctors. “Dermatology has been on our list forever,� she offered. A welldesigned and equipped place to work makes recruiting easier, she said.

Across the street, the hospital is also building a house for overnight lodging for out-of-town physicians, and a 3-bay garage for the ambulances (the present garage, located in back of the hospital, holds only two). Despite the expanded facilities, “we still have to transport to Portland,� Ayers said.

CountycommissionershearpraisefromPC/WoodsCPAC CPACs over the last six or so years.

The commissioners might be able to repair that oversight simply, by formalizing the existing arrangements, but on Feb. 26 commissioners seemed to favor replacing the current six CPACs with a lesser number of “community advisory committees.�

Five CACs had been organized by the commission in the mid-1970s, but had fallen into disuse and eventually were superseded by CPACs. To reduce expenses and workload of the planning department staff, Boyd favored activating only three CACs, one each for north, central, and south county.

CPAC members at the workshop expressed alarm that their organizations would be rendered ineffective, especially that fewer CACs would allow fewer residents to participate in generating public policy and that some communities would lose a forum for expressing their individual needs.

Although in theory a CPAC might continue to operate independently, loss of official relationship to county government would expose CPAC members to potential lawsuits related to the effects of their recommendations.

The Feb. 26 workshop adjourned without decision on the issues, but with formation of a subcommittee to study matters.

The subcommittee comprises the chair of each CPAC, two members of the planning commission, commissioner Labhart, and director Boyd.

At the subcommittee’s first meeting on March 19, commissioner Labhart presented a draft of a commission order to establish six CACs, to cover all unincorporated areas of the county.

At the regular county commission meeting in Pacific City on March 20, four key members of the PC/Woods Community Planning Advisory Committee praised the commissioners for supporting local citizen participation in county government.

Ielean Rouse, David Yamamoto, Bud Miller, and Larry Rouse expressed gratitude that, as Yamamoto put it, “we appear on our way to an amicable solution.�

The problem to which a solution appears near is the recent suggestion by county to eliminate official status of CPACs in county government.

In other business, Alex Sifford of the Nestucca, Neskowin & Sand Lake Watersheds Council proposed the county eliminate the requirement for development permits for watershed restoration projects. Because watershed projects are not “development,� but are aimed at “restoration� of the watershed, only land-use-compatibility review should be required, supported by plans and any needed state approvals. The three commissioners voted to encourage Sifford to go forward and formally submit the proposal to the planning commission and the community development department.

At their Feb 26 workshop on CPACs, the county commissioners revealed that CPACs might no longer have official status in county government. The county’s director of community planning, John Boyd, upon reviewing CPAC history, had discovered CPACs never had been formally adopted by the county, despite the county’s acknowledged reliance on input from

Key elements of the draft order include: • Defining the CAC role in support of the planning commission. • Allowing CACs to address matters of importance to their communities beyond land-use. • Providing insurance to CAC members under the Tort Claims Act. • Defining a minimal schedule of meetings of CAC chairs with the county commissioners, and of CAC chairs with the community development director. • Adopting a set of operating procedures for CACs. The current CPACs were asked to review the draft and let the commission know the reactions of their members.

It was in reaction to this draft order that the PC/Woods CPAC members offered compliments to the county commissioners at the commission meeting in PC on Mar. 20.

In the eyes of some PC/Woods CPAC members, the draft order offers some advantages over the current situation, including that every resident of an unincorporated area of the county would be represented by a CAC, whereas there are gaps in current coverage by CPACs, and that CACs would be free to address non-land-use issues.

On Mar. 25, the board of PC/Woods CPAC met to begin formal consideration of Labhart’s draft. Proposed modifications will be written up by the group’s secretary and presented to the membership for review in the near future.

A second meeting of the commission’s subcommittee is anticipated, to consider the draft in the light of responses from all the CPACs.

said. “I don’t think we’re against it (demolition),� McCarthy told Trost. Let City Manager O’Leary submit an application to the Guard, she urged the council. “We don’t have to accept it.� The council voted unanimously to authorize O’Leary to do so. “I’ll have the budget done by mid-April,�

O’Leary said, “and the application is due May 1. I can make the time,� he said. “I think there’s a probable benefit to the community.� O’Leary said he’d also contact the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) about grants for restoration.

COMPLAINT:

Eugene Tish to the vacant position on the city’s planning commission. Tish replaces John Ramer, who moved, and will fill out the balance of Ramer’s term, which lasts until January 2016.

The council was scheduled to meet Thursday, March 21 in special session to approve the contract with the neighboring Watseco-Barview Water District. Garibaldi would provide the state-licensed operator for the little water district, and do water testing and maintenance, and meter reading; the district will still do its own billing. The extra work – and extra revenue – will mean the city will be rehiring a fourth public works employee, O’Leary said.

“At the time the widow brought up the information that victim was paying rent, no mechanism existed by which that evidence could be admitted,� his letter stated, adding that it wasn’t until months later that a new case (State v.

Porter wrote that it was the

defense attorney who was leaning on the widow’s family in a “questionable way� and upon explaining to her what her rights were, she declined to speak with them.

Porter also stated that he “pulled out all the stops to get the defense everything they asked for at top speed.�

The EPA, Kennedy noted, intended “to regulate traditional industrial sources such as sawmills.� The regulation’s reference to “facilities� and “establishments� suggest “industrial sites more fixed and permanent than outdoor timber-harvesting operations,� he wrote.

Kennedy also praised Oregon’s Forest Practices Act, noting that the state has “made an extensive effort to develop a set of best practices to manage storm water runoff from logging roads.�

The EPA “could have reasonably concluded that further federal regulation in this area would be duplicative or counterproductive,� Kennedy wrote. “It’s wonderful news,� county commissioner Tim Josi told the Headlight Herald. “We’ve spent a lot of time and resources fixing ‘legacy roads’ built after the Tillamook Burn.�

ODF “has spent millions on upgrading roads and removing proximity to streams,� he stated.

The runoff problem, Josi said, has been being addressed for some time. “Now that this issue has been decided, we’ll rely on the Forest Practices Act,� he added. “Oregon appreciates the court’s recognition of our existing laws and best practices,�

Oregon state forester Doug Decker said in a prepared statement. “It’s a big deal for Oregon’s forest industry,� former state legislator Paul Hanneman agreed.

Hanneman, from Pacific City, was chair of the House Natural Resources Committee when the Oregon Forest Practices Act was passed in 1971.

is not a determination that any misconduct has occurred. Misconduct means a violation of the rules of professional conduct and applicable statutes that govern lawyer conduct in the state of Oregon.

Once disciplinary council has conducted its investigation, it will either dismiss the charges or seek approval from the State Professional Responsibility Board to move forward.

Elena Kagan, and Chief Justice Roberts concurred with Kennedy’s opinion. Justice Stephen Breyer reportedly recused himself and didn’t participate in the consideration or judgment.

The only dissenting opinion was offered by Justice Antonin Scalia - who noted he agreed with two parts of the judgment.

Allowing agencies to interpret their own regulations is dangerous, Scalia suggested; regulations should be enforced based on what was said, not what someone claimed was intended, and the regulation in question did not say that logging operations were exempt from permit requirements. The EPA’s revised rule, issued just before the Supreme Court’s hearing, showed the agency was capable of writing clear and concise regulations, he noted.

Wheeler approves grant application to acquire property for Bott’s Marsh Park

BY DAVE FISHER for the Headlight Herald

If all goes according to plan, say goodbye to big development of Bott’s Marsh and the adjacent property to it simply known as the “upland� property.

In a presentation to the Wheeler City Council on March 19, John Jelineo and Vern Scovell, owners of the property, laid out a plan for the City of Wheeler to acquire the 8.3 acres upland parcel through a grant with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). As for the Bott’s Marsh property to the north, Jelineo and Scovell are working with other agencies to keep the wetlands intact and protect it from any future development. “I don’t want another five years of bickering (about trying to develop the property),â€? said Jelineo, who owns 50 percent of the property. “Vern is on the same page‌It’s obvious with the vision of this town, it doesn’t want big time development on that land.â€?

Prior to 2010 when Jelineo acquired 50 percent ownership, Scovell owned the property in its entirety; since the 1980s Scovell had planned to build a marina on a portion of the 30+ acres of land.

Stymied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Oregon, Scovell went back to the drawing board and submitted plans for a scaled down 85-slip marina in the fall of 2003. According to reports in the North Coast Citizen, it was the City of Wheeler, which had jurisdiction of the Bott’s Marsh parcel through the Urban Growth Boundary Agreement with Tillamook County, that put the brakes on the proposed marina for the second time.

Most recently, Jelineo and Scovell explored the possibility with developer Mike Nelson to construct condominiums with commercial space on the main level on the site, a plan that was met with resistance by Wheeler and its citizens through its vision

plan for the city.

Noting that the last commercial building to be built in Wheeler happened in 1984, Jelineo said at this point he and Scovell were content to “take the path of least resistance� and grant the upland portion of the property to the City of Wheeler for purposes of a park and Bott’s Marsh to a conservatory to protect the wetlands.

In the plan outlined by Jelineo, the sellers would make available to the City of Wheeler the property with a clear deed free of any liens or encumbrances, with the sellers shouldering the cost of the appraisal. For the city’s part, the only cost it would incur would be that for writing and submitting the grant to OPRD, an amount, said City Manager Jeff Aprati that would not exceed $2,500. To sweeten the deal even further, Jelineo said he would be willing to split the cost of the grant application if for some reason the deal did not go through.

In a process fraught with details, the city has until April 12 to submit its grant application. In the meantime, Jelineo and Scovell have contacted the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board about acquiring the wetlands parcel. “OWEB is very excited about the prospect of acquiring that piece,� said Jelineo.

For the benefit of city councilors and some 20 members of the audience, Mayor Stevie Burden characterized the deal presented by Jelineo and Scovell, as a single package, but with two components (parcels) with separate funding (grants) for both. “This is the first time we’ve had the opportunity for city ownership of this property,� said Burden, who expressed concerns over the appraisal process, which could derail the deal and the cost of writing the grant. “My concern is we’re going to have to write the grant, and it (the cost) is a lot for us. With an April 12 deadline, it’s a

pretty big leap of faith.�

As for the sellers, Jelineo assured the council that he and Scovell would do everything they could to make the deal happen, but acknowledged that everyone, including OWEB or another conservatory interested in acquiring Bott’s Marsh, needed to be onboard. In addition, the appraisal could be a sticking point as Jelineo noted that he and Scovell “have a number we need met on the wetlands and upland portion.�

The sellers hope to have the transaction successfully completed by year’s end, a scant nine months away. “It’s a matter of one step at a time, until that day the grant is accepted‌ By the end of the year I want to put this chapter of my life behind me,â€? said Jelineo.

Lisa Phipps, director of the Tillamook Estuary Partnership, noted the organization was supportive of the acquisition of the property. “We’re more than happy to provide any technical assistance, but not in grant writing‌ Acquisition of property is not our specialty.â€?

Lower Nehalem Community Trust Director Erich Miller cautioned that land acquisition is a “very complex process,� but that the Trust, which has been involved in acquiring a number of environmentally sensitive parcels of land in the Nehalem Bay area in recent years, is supportive and interested in helping to facilitate the process.

After the hour-long presentation and question and answer period, the Wheeler City Council approved a resolution to authorize an application for a local government grant from OPRD for acquisition of the upland property for purposes of establishing a park.

EDITOR MARY FAITH BELL ••••• MFBELL@COUNTRYMEDIA.NET

HEADLIGHT HERALD • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2013

PAGE A4

SPEEDBUMP FROM THE EDITOR Spring has sprung Easter is upon us already, how did that happen? Check out the Community Calendar on page B2 for a listing of Easter egg hunts around the county on Saturday, March 30. I appreciate the groups and businesses that devote their time and resources to creating these fun events for the children in our community. Let’s keep our fingers Mary Faith Bell crossed for General Manager sunshine.

I love spring. It’s my favorite season. I love everything about it, starting with hummingbirds.

Every year hummingbirds arrive at my house on March 16. That fascinates me; you’d think there would be minor deviations in their migratory schedule, if only for weather.

But, no: every year they show up on March 16. Planning our St. Patrick’s Day dinner is my seasonal reminder to clean up the hummingbird feeders, and hang them outside.

For me it’s a joyful reunion.

I don’t know if these hummingbirds are the same ones who were here last year, but some of them probably are. I do know that they are very familiar: they’ll buzz over my head, come close and hover, seeming to peer at me; they perch on branches and the deck wires, and we watch each other.

They’re bold and beautiful and fun to watch. Pretty soon there will be a dozen resident hummingbirds crowding the feeders.

Once when we had the neighbor kids over, we were eating at the table inside and a swarm of hummingbirds were at the feeders outside the window, and Chelsea, who was about 10 at the time looked at me and said, “It doesn’t get better than this, does it?”

Hummingbirds remind me of my Grandma Bea. She lived in an orchard when I was small and she always had a big garden. Hummingbirds would hover over her and pluck brassy red hairs from her head as she worked on her knees. She used to tell people that the hummingbirds were stealing her hair. My grandpa didn’t believe her until one winter he found an empty hummingbird nest lined with her soft, red hair.

Yesterday, walking in the woods with my dogs, I saw the first trilliums of the season, and tiny pale lavender and bright

yellow flowers on the trail underfoot. Back home, the big, red knuckles of my rhubarb are up with the first crinkly leaves, and my roses and raspberries are popping out with new leaves.

I’m getting excited about the Headlight Herald Home and Garden Show at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds April 6 and 7. My head is full of home improvement and garden design ideas I would like to accomplish this year. The Home and Garden Show will be the perfect place to connect with local businesses who can help me with my projects. It’s not to late to get a booth at the show for your business – give us a call and we’ll be happy to sign you up.

Spring, like Easter, represent hope and renewal, promise, new life. I like to think in springtime about the things I can do better: this year I can plant tomatoes earlier, be more vigilant about slug control and move my plants that are failing to thrive. Beyond the garden, I can be a better mom. This year I’d like to find an outdoor activity my son wants to do with me. I can incorporate more fruits and vegetables into our diet. I can role model more activity and healthier food choices for both of us.

At work, there are ways that we can be better, too. We’re working really hard to produce a good community newspaper, but there is room for improvement.

In the coming weeks Chris Olson and I will be calling on businesses and asking what we can do to better serve our customers. We want to hear from you: what you like and dislike about working with the Headlight Herald. Don’t spare us; we want to hear it. We want to know how we can improve, and in turn, help your businesses to grow.

On the news side of things, we receive fairly regular complaints that we failed to print the photos (usually of kids) that people wanted to see in the paper. Let me say that we want to print the photos you want to see, and we need your help.

Please take the pictures you’d like to see in the paper and email them to editor@orcoastnews.com with the pertinent information: who, what, when, where, etc. If the photos are in focus and high resolution, we’ll print them as space allows and gladly give you photo credit.

Happy Easter and happy spring to all of you from all of us here at the Headlight Herald.

We’ll see you at the Home and Garden Show!

READERS’ OPEN FORUM Thank yous and sympathy are in order Thank you to both Sheriff Long and the Headlight Herald for the article “Police identify the killer of Pecos the cat” in the March 13, 2013, edition of the newspaper. Sheriff Long and his team have let it be known to United Paws that they want to hear about animal abuse in the county.

This is a great step forward for our community. No longer will cruelty to animals be tolerated! Thank you also to the Headlight Herald for giving this story front-page prominence, proving that editors at the newspaper also know that cruelty to animals is a serious matter affecting all of us. The Dark Ages, when cats were used as target practice, are over. And that includes all cats - feral, barn, stray, as well as pet.

Lastly but most importantly, heartfelt sympathy to the Slavens family, whose beloved cat, Pecos, was killed in such a brutal way.

Christine Watt Co-Founder of United Paws of Tillamook Nehalem

Thank you for making our anniversary fantastic We had a wonderful anniversary weekend at the Garibaldi House Inn and Suites.

The people are so friendly and the food delicious. At 3 p.m. they had Tillamook cheese and crackers, sliced meat, and apples. At 5 p.m. there was delicious soup and bread. In the

morning was delicious breakfast, with lots of food to choose from.

My sisters Ruby Fry-Matson and Mary Fry who work and volunteer at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, bid on a two-day stay donated by Garibaldi House at an auction benefit for Bay City Arts Center. They gave us the certificate as a Christmas gift. When I called to make a reservation I mentioned it was our anniversary. The clerk must have noted that, because there was a red rose in a beautiful vase and chocolates waiting in our room.

It was a fantastic 34th wedding anniversary because of Garibaldi House and my sisters.

Thanks.

Coach clarification I am offering this information as a clarification for a recent article and a letter, which appeared in your paper on successive weeks. I was the Head Wrestling Coach at Neah-KahNie High School for 30 years, from 1977- 2007. H.D. Weddell helped me coach wrestling quite early in his coaching and teaching career. To see him inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame on April 6th will indeed be an honor for me. H.D. is a very deserving individual. He gives his all and it is all for the good of kids. Many students have been touch and influenced by his kind heart felt demeanor. I am very pleased that the Hall of Fame Committee chose H.D. for this honor.

Dog Owners should be respectful!

I live behind a nice little park on the South end of Rockaway Beach. Beside that park is a nice community garden and on the other side is a small lake. Nice area, but don't walk anywhere! People constantly walk their dogs, let them poop, and leave it. I even saw someone with a large dog who pooped in the yard of a neighbor, pick it up and then throw it in the park. What is wrong with people?

If you own and walk your dog you should be responsible enough to pick it up and dispose of it at home. My grandchildren try to play in the park, and many other people try to occasionally use the park, but it’s spotted with dog poop and stinks in the summer.

I don’t know if there are any laws against this, but if I find out there are, then I will start taking pictures and turn you all in. I see a lot of people doing this here and it is so awful and so disrespectful to your neighbors and others who try to use and enjoy this area.

“Tacky” trees keep highways safe In response to Ruth Curry and her letter about the trees along Highway 101 looking "tacky," I fully understand why you and other people would dislike how the trees along the highway look immediately after they are trimmed by the State Highway Department's brush cutter. However, the fresh cuts

on these trees will only be noticeable for a short time.

There is only one brush cutter and the State crew has what I would guess to be a couple hundred miles of highway to maintain from the Tillamook shop. They cannot groom the roadsides like a landscaping crew. The whole purpose of the trimming is to help keep the highways safe for all of us.

The State workers should be thanked by us all. Instead they are ridiculed and talked negatively about for something as petty as some tree limbs that are not neatly trimmed. People have no idea what these workers do to keep our highways open and safe. They repeatedly put themselves in danger to make sure we can get where we need to go. These men and women go out at all hours of the day and night to clear slides and road debris, often during severe storms.

I, for one, am very thankful for all the work that our State road crew does.

Brandon Affolter Tillamook

Brush cutting is not a good sight for visitors It is unbelievable what we are seeing as we drive south on 101. The brush cutting is done every year but never to the extent that they are doing this year. When talking to ODOT their explanation is that they have this new piece of equipment and it reaches even farther than the old one. Is that a good reason for the devastation they are leaving behind?

credit increase in tuition.

This is the most difficult decision the Board, the President and the staff have to make.

No one wants to increase tuition. As a recent report in the OREGONIAN stated, students in Oregon pay 20 percent above the national average; only 17 states ask their students to pay Debbie Lincoln more. Added to low state support, Oregon’s universities and community colleges have experienced the highest enrollment growth of any state in the country.

Income taxes (which fund the state’s general fund) and lottery money are the resources used by the Legislature to fund education. Tuition picks up the rest of the costs at the universities (a simplistic explanation, but basically true). For the community colleges, the funding situation is a little more complicated. Colleges have a local property tax base, which they share with K12 schools, in addition to state support and tuition. That tax base is limited by several measures passed by voters in the 1990s.

When the original property tax limitation, Measure 5, was passed, state support for community colleges was the largest piece of the pie. The state’s general fund provided more than 50 percent of community college budgets; property taxes supported 30 percent, tuition picked up less

than 20 percent.

Now, at TBCC, the proportion of state funding totals just over 20 percent of the budget. Tuition picks up nearly 27 percent.

Governor Kitzhaber and the Legislature’s leadership have recommended a substantial increase in the community college support fund—about 8 percent. How this will translate into funding for TBCC will depend on final legislative action and choices made by state leaders on how to distribute the funds among the seventeen colleges. An 8 percent increase in TBCC’s budget barely covers additional PERS costs.

State leaders have a difficult job pulling together a budget that balances education, prisons, the social safety net and many other priorities, given the state’s cobbledtogether tax system and program demands driven by ballot initiatives, particularly in the criminal justice area. We all have a responsibility to ensure that education remains a top priority. Only education, after all, has the potential to lower costs in criminal justice and social programs and improve the business climate across the state.

Especially in rural areas like Tillamook County.

The TBCC Board and President Connie Green welcome your comments and thoughts. The Board meets the first Monday of every month beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Or you can reach any of us by calling the college at 503/842-8222, ext. 1000.

LETTERS: They are mutilating the trees, not just cutting brush. The ODOT person said the trees will come back. I don't think so.

We need more drivable roads We enjoy taking a late winter vacation to a tropical place to get some warm sunshine.

Last year we went to Cancun, this year Mazatlan. In addition to a different climate, language and culture, there's another contrast to Tillamook County: they have better roads than we do!

Come on, folks, our roads are a disgrace. If we are going to keep tourists coming and attract new businesses, we need drivable roads, not obstacle courses. We support any efforts to get our roads out of their present pathetic condition.

Road damage from farm vehicles On the way to do some business at the Port, I drove on Long Prairie, a road in good condition after the work was completed after the last flood.

About a block east from 101, on Long Prairie, I drove across a new crack in the pavement and reminded myself to stop on the return trip to investigate the large crack across the road. Stopping on the side of the road on the return trip, I saw the large crack on top of the pavement with a pipe or culvert under it.

In the field on the south side of the road there were many very large, deep tire tracks. The ruts (and tire tracks) traveled from the field up to the edge of the asphalt and entered on the road, breaking a piece of the asphalt off the road. The tracks look like the tires on the 6wheel (unlicensed) tanker that sprays or discharges liquid waste behind it, being pulled by a large wheeled tractor, earlier in the day.

I know a law was passed in the early 1980s so farm vehicles, equipment, etc., didn’t require a license, but something has changed. Maybe farm vehicles, equipment, etc., have greatly increased in number, size and/or weight. I wonder if it’s the reason why our roads need repair so often and why our road bonds don’t get passed?

Thomas Oliver Tillamook

Very interesting article by Joe Wrabek (March 20, 2013 page 4) on how the feds reneged on a 100-year-old contract and have the attitude of the phone lady in the old Lily Tomlin skit: we don't care because we don't have to!

I about broke a gut laughing at that. Then I started thinking (a bad thing for me) well isn't that just exactly what the county commissioners have done to us? They keep spending our tax money and fees on the projects they want and raises and benefits for the public employees and new cars and trucks and so on. But they cannot find a way to save any money to pay for the roads. So they are telling us we don't care about the roads because we don't have to.

Sooner or later the sheeple will vote for the money to pay for the roads and we the commissioners will be off the hook again for not planning for the future. Well, sheeple, go ahead and vote to give them your money (and mine) and we will be happy and the commissioners will be happy until the next time they want to skewer us again. But my wife and I will

Opportunities and challenges in transportation I am Jack L. Graves and I have lived in Garibaldi for 70 years. I am running for election to Position 3 on Tillamook County Transportation Board (TCTD). I was urged to do this by several of the board members and employees and I am excited about it. It is exciting to me because TCTD will be facing great opportunities and great challenges. TCTD is participating in the North by Northwest Transportation Foundation, as are four other transportation districts in the Northwest part of Oregon. This will provide for better connectivity and make transportation to Salem, McMinnville and Albany conveniently possible.

The federal government is encouraging mass transportation by buses, streetcars, rail or other public vehicles.

This change is just around the corner and I want to be involved in resolving it because I am legally blind and have not been able to drive for 15 years.

I ride the bus frequently out of necessity and I talk with and meet many others who also ride out of necessity.

TCTD operates Dial-A-Ride vans in the three zones: North County, Central County, and South County. These Dial-ARide vans make it possible for handicapped, elderly and others in need to live a more full life and permits them shopping, medical appointments, and to cope with other emergencies.

When I originally served on the TCTD board of directors, from 1999 to 2006, we had only two borrowed buses and no Dial-A-Ride vans; fortunately, that year we were publicly funded, and since then TCTD has expanded its service routes and vehicles greatly.

I am very proud of what TCTD has accomplished for me and for others in need of public transportation. I will work for the best public transportation for the least expense for the most people for the lowest cost.

Thank you,

Jack L. Graves 503-322-3543

Scapegoats I am so tired of people and legislators' trying to balance the budget and pay for other state expenses with public employees wages and benefits. You would think that state employees were some of the highest paid people in our state. Well take a look at the average wage that these people are making and compare that to private industry wages.

No comparison. Compare state wages with Federal wages and you find the same thing. The state wage has always been below private and federal pay but their benefit package and job security has helped make up some of this difference.

State employees have recently endured 4 years of furloughs which were about a 3 percent cut in wages. They have also had their wages frozen for roughly 6 years in the last 10 (managers endured 8 years out of the last 10), which amounts to no cost of living adjustments (COLA) and no 5 percent annual step increases for work experience and good performance.

Let's do the math for just the four years that they had the furloughs and wage freezes. Lets just figure they could have received 1.5 percent for a COLA and then add the 5 percent step increase and the 3 percent furlough dollars. That adds up to 9.5 percent per year lost in wages! Now lets just multiply that by four years and we get 38 percent!

Some state legislators are proposing additional state employee retirement benefit cuts. Are private sector employees and retirees willing to

Retirement benefits quit going into PERS in 2004. Benefit dollars are now going into a 401 type of plan.

Think outside the box for our youth As Youth Chairman for the Nestucca Valley Ladies Auxiliary to Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9611, I would like to thank the community for their support of our recent “Think Out Side the Box for Our Youth” project. Between the October and March meetings, your donated coins and dollar bills raised funds for the Junior Girls and Young American Creative Art Program.

There is currently only one Junior Girls Unit in the Department of Oregon. These girls, ages 5 to 16, work very hard to honor our Veterans, current service men and women and their families. Junior Girls help host the “Welcome Home” events of returning National Guard soldiers; they assist throughout the year with veteran events: at memorials; serve at dinners and breakfasts; with fundraisers, such as distributing the Buddy Poppies, making quilts and other crafts to raffle; and carry proudly our American flag in parades, walking sideby-side with veterans and members of service organizations.

Junior Girls receive no pay for their efforts; their sponsorship is through donations and fundraising events that keep their activities going on.

Thankfully, many of the Junior Girls grow up to be fine leaders in our society, and become members of their local VFW Auxiliary once they reach age 16.

The Young American Creative Art Program promotes the talents and inspirations of students in grades 9 -12. Students need not attend local public schools; those in the private schools or those being homeschooled are eligible to participate. The deadline for this year’s program just ended.

National winners receive $500 to $10,000, depending on placement in the top eight, for art submitted on paper or canvas.

Entries are judged based upon the originality of concept, presentation and patriotism

expressed.

The amount donated will truly make a difference to the Junior Girls and Scholarship Program. Thank you again!

What is Truth?

With a multitude of issues surrounding the U.S. And the world at large, finding the truth is not as easy as one might imagine. You might think that with today’s technology that wouldn’t be so. I believe we know less about the truth of today’s conflicts than ever before.

While global communication is strong with a plethora of media outlets, we have a problem. What is the truth?

You can change between news channels, or media sites on the web (mainstream or not), and find a mixture of data depending on which political platform is behind that particular media.

The truth is, we may never know the full truth of things like Benghazi, Israel, and Iran or issues like domestic oil reserves and the true role of the Federal Reserve since its inception over our overall economy.

The truth is only sustainable when facts are presented. These must be accurate and all inclusive. As long as we have a government unwilling to share that with the American people and the main street media is under that influence, we will never learn real truth. Anything else we can glean from other sources is often conjecture at best. Information is manipulated through political red tape, only to paint a picture that is a poor copy of reality.

People will continue to only believe what they wish to be true. Therefore, rather than looking outside the box, they will continue to follow the bread crumb trail of falsities back to their place of comfort.

Until we elect into office people that truly are dedicated to the people, we will be lost as to what is really happening in our world, and that is a scary promise for our future.

Many citizens have never heard of the NWO and Agenda 21 let alone have a grasp of how they could devastatingly affect who we are as a nation.

Those that have a fair understanding are frightened and those that don’t prefer to call the fore mentioned conspiracy theorists. But, the truth “shall” set you free and the truth “is” out there. The question remains, are you prepared for the truth?

Nestucca Watershed Council to host Nestucca Bay clean-up

BY MELONIE FERGUSON Fro the Headlight Herald

In observance of Earth Day, the Watershed Council (NNWC) will host a Nestucca Bay Clean-up from 8:30 a.m.noon on Saturday, April 20.

Volunteers, wearing boots and dressed for the weather, will meet for the work party at the boat ramp north of Bob Straub State Park in Pacific City.

Boaters are encouraged to participate. Gloves and garbage bags, along with hot coffee, tasty local refreshments and enthusiastic fellow participants will be provided.

Sponsors include: Grateful Bread, NNWC, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, SOLV, The Sportsman's Pub and Grub, Stimulus Cafe, and Tillamook County Parks and Public Works.

"Stream side planting is in full swing," Council Coordinator Alex Sifford reported to the board at its March 19 meeting at Kiwanda Community Center.

Seventeen acres along three and a half miles of streams are targeted for planting. Habitat restoration relies on nursery stock, started from cuttings, by several community partners. Neskowin Valley School will contribute about three hundred plants; Netucca

Valley Elementary is raising roughly 3,500; Camp Tillamook will provide more than 30,000 plants this season.

Contractors include Bros and Hoes, Coyote Gardens, Mike Lees, The Oregon Youth Authority, and Mike and Stacy Spencer.

Four culvert replacement projects are in the works as well. Plans are underway for Butte Creek, Farmer Creek, George Creek (off Evergreen Road in Hebo) and Horn Creek (on Ron and Vonnie Hurliman's property in Woods). All could all have new culverts to increase fish passage this year.

The Watersheds Council published, printed and mailed its first newsletter in more than a year, delivering four pages of council news to 2,400 south Tillamook County households mid-March. A color version of the publication is available on the Watersheds Council's website at oregoncoast.com/nnwc.

In addition, the board agreed to engage Joshua Seeds of Portland, a DEQ Source Water Protection Specialist, as a speaker for April's meeting.

His presentation is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16. All are welcome to attend.

Barbara Jean McKernan Barbara Jean McKernan passed away on Saturday, March 23, 2013, at her home in Tillamook.

She was born on June 1, 1927 in Portland, Ore., the second child of BARBARA Alfred Rigby MCKERNAN Hodges and Helen Anna Dilley Hodges.

Before her first birthday the family moved to Tacoma, Washington. Barb attended school in Tacoma, graduated from Lincoln High School and then went on to the College of Puget Sound (now University of Puget Sound).

On June 30, 1957 she married James Timothy (Tim) McKernan and they shared 45 years together until his death in 2002. Barb and Tim began their life together in Bremerton, Washington and then Tim’s Navy career took him to Long Beach, California and then to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Upon his retirement they traveled across country visiting friends and family and then bought 160 acres in Oregon.

Barbara worked for a doctor in Grants Pass while Tim began remodeling the old 1920s farmhouse. After a house fire they drew plans for a new house on a paper sack and proceeded to build it themselves. They eventually sold Timbarlee, as they named the 160 acres, and moved to Tacoma where Barb worked at the library at her alma mater and Tim became a radio announcer. One morning over coffee Tim asked why they didn’t quit working and go to Spain so they did -- for nearly a year -- also traveling to twelve other countries including France and Holland. They met lots of interesting people with whom they kept in touch for many years. They also spent time in England and Ireland - Tim’s heritage was Irish and Barb’s English.

Barb was Tim’s biggest fan when it came to his singing and learned how to transpose music for him. They were both active in the Methodist Church. After they moved to Tillamook Barb could frequently be found in the church kitchen helping out whenever she could. She also volunteered at the Tillamook

Dorothy Lea Berkey Dorothy Lea Berkey was born on October 29, 1927 in Kingston, Wash. to Walter Cocanower and Lily Stonberg Cocanower.

She passed away March 21, 2013.

Dorothy DOROTHY attended eleBERKEY mentary school and two years of high school in Washington before moving with her family to Tillamook in 1944.

Dorothy met her husband Bob Berkey when she started high school in Tillamook. They were married in 1949, after Bob returned home from the Army. In 1951 daughter Laura was born and in 1953, son Fred. Dorothy and Bob raised their family in their “Big House” on 5th Street and continued to live there for 55 years. There was much love and laughter in that house. It was a place for friends and family to gather for holiday dinners and for some really good parties over the years.

Nothing was more important to Dorothy than family, but she was also a good friend to many throughout her life. She worked more than 20 years for Tillamook School District #9 as a secretary. In that capacity she shared her mothering abilities with lots students who came to her for advice or just to talk to someone who cared.

Dorothy was a sports fan, attending countless high school football and basketball games with Bob. They are both on the Wall of Fame a THS for their support over the years. She was huge fan of Tiger Woods and watched him play golf on TV whenever she could. She and Bob worked with the THS Scholarship committee from it’s beginning.

Declining health forced Dorothy into assisted living during her last years, but she was an inspiration to those who cared for her because of her almost unfailing good spirits.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her beloved husband Bob in 2005, brother Ken Cocanower

and sister Eleanor Fitzpatrick.

Dorothy is survived by her son Fred Berkey and his wife Carol, daughter Laura Croston and her husband Al, granddaughters Kelsey Croston, Kala Berkey and Darby Lasley and husband Justin. Perhaps the greatest thing that happened to her in her last year was the birth of her great-grandson Jayce Lasley. She is also survived by her dear sister Barbara Engelen and husband Ron and many nieces and nephews.

A family graveside service will be held at a future date.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Tillamook High School Scholarship Fund, or the Marie Mills Foundation, which may be made in care of Waud’s Funeral Home.

Anna Welsh released again

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Anna Welsh is free on bail again.

Welsh spent part of last week in jail – she turned herself in – after a random inspection of the family home in Bayside Gardens on March 14 found two Anna Welsh cell phones, a working wireless router, and a plugged-in Kindle e-book reader on the premises, along with a television displaying Netflix and what appeared to be open bottles of alcohol in the garage.

The Tillamook County district attorney’s office requested Welsh’s release be revoked, charging that Welsh was in violation of her release agreement. Welsh’s release agreement specifically prohibits her use of cell phones or any electronic device with access to the internet and prohibits her from consuming or possessing alcohol. A bench warrant was issued for Welsh’s arrest March 15, with bail set this time at $200,000 – all cash, rather than the usual 10 percent, because Welsh has been charged with Measure 11 sex crimes.

The 3-hour hearing Friday, March 22, before Judge Mari Garric Trevino was to decide whether Welsh had actually violated the release agreement – defense attorney John Tuthill arguing that Welsh had not, and prosecutor Lee Carter charging that she had. Both sides had witnesses: Tuthill offering Anna Welsh herself, husband Jonathan Welsh, her mother Barbara Blue (who was staying at the house in Bayside Gardens) and Angela Hanke, who said she was a close friend of Anna Welsh. Prosecutor Carter presented Sheriff’s Office Detective James Horton, who with Paul Fournier conducted the inspection of the Welsh residence.

The cell phones didn’t work, the defense witnesses said; they’d been kept around as play toys for the children.

Welsh’s mother Barbara Blue said she’d gotten the router in order to get Netflix for the children; there was no cable or satellite TV. Everything was password-protected, defense witnesses said; that’s why the Kindle that Angela Hanke had left at the house couldn’t connect to the Internet (though someone had apparently tried).

Jonathan Welsh said the alcohol bottles had been on a shelf over the desk in the garage, in what attorney Tuthill called the “man-cave�; he’d taken them off the shelf and put them in crates, but hadn’t removed them from the garage.

And the Dell laptop computer the detectives said they were searching for – one not seized when Anna Welsh was originally arrested – had been returned to the National Guard, Jonathan Welsh said. It had been issued to Welsh when he was a brigade adjutant, he said.

Detective Horton said he and Fournier had not tested both cell phones – one didn’t have a battery, he said – nor

had they attempted to verify whether the wireless router was password-protected. Nor did they need to, prosecutor Carter suggested. “Possession is the violation,� Carter told the judge. “We are not suggesting she was doing anything illegal.� Welsh was not supposed to have or have access to such items, he noted. “Any use of the television was using an electronic device with access to the Internet,� he added.

The purpose of the restrictions, Tuthill suggested, “was to not allow her (Welsh) to make interaction with people.

We’re talking about TV,� he said. “Content was delivered over the Internet instead of through the air. Is this what the court was trying to prohibit?�

No one was violating the spirit of the court order, Tuthill said.

Welsh also wasn’t living at the house in Bayside Gardens the detectives searched, Tuthill said; she’s supposed to be residing at her in-laws’ home in Nehalem, according to the court order. (Anna Welsh testified under oath that she was only at the Bayside Gardens house for a supervised visit with her children.)

Judge Trevino ended up ruling in favor of Welsh. “The cell phones were the court’s main concern,� she said, but the cell phones weren’t operable. The TVs? “She can’t have contact with anyone over Netflix,� Trevino noted.

With respect to the Kindle, “The evidence is clear that someone tried to go on the Internet� with the Kindle, Trevino said. “We do not have evidence Anna Welsh was doing it. Having the Kindle in the house was ridiculously stupid. It shouldn’t be in the house. It’s a technical violation of the release.�

Trevino ordered Welsh’s release. “I think her supervisors have been diligent,� she said. If there had been a working cell phone in the house, the ruling would have been different, Trevino said. “Any more technical violations – any more Kindles left behind – I will take a different position,� she warned.

Welsh’s trial is set for Tuesday, May 28 in Tillamook.

Tourism symposium talks ‘synergy’

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

The second annual Tourism Symposium was held Monday, March 18, at Tillamook Bay Community College. (The “second annual� suggests it’s intended to be a yearly event.)

Eighty people attended – the maximum the college’s meeting room would hold.

The 2013 Tourism Symposium was organized by the Garibaldi Tourism Commission and Economic Development Council of Tillamook County (EDC), with additional sponsorship from the Garibaldi House, Oregon Coast Visitors Association, Blue Heron, the Creamery, Prudential Northwest in Garibaldi and Spring Lake Realty in Rockaway Beach. The theme this year was “synergy� – when joint work creates an outcome that’s more than the sum of its parts.

EDC director Dan Biggs said what galvanized tourism promotion efforts was learning at last year’s tourism symposium – the first in 10 years – that tourists leave behind in Tillamook County less than half as much money as they do in neighboring Clatsop and Lincoln Counties. (“We’re the drive-through county between Lincoln City and Seaside,�

Wheeler mayor Stevie Burden commented.) Biggs recommended a goal of $400 million from tourists by the end of 2020. (Tourist revenue in the county is just $180 million today.) “I like audacious goals,� keynote speaker Todd Davidson from Travel Oregon (the Oregon Tourism Commission) told the audience. “It’s the kind of goal that forces you to look at how you can collaborate.� Davidson called tourism an “export industry,� because money is coming in from elsewhere just as if a product were being sold out of state or overseas.

Tourism creates jobs in other industries, too, he noted. “Jobs in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, professional services exist because of the demand from visitor spending.� And a survey in central Oregon found that 78 percent of new businesses there had been started by people who were originally tourists.

A plethora of speakers from public, private, and nonprofit entities in Tillamook County echoed the “synergy�

theme, endeavoring to show how what they were doing related to and reinforced the work of others – from the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s “water trails� to the “Quilt Trail� started by the Latimer Quilt Center in 1991. (“What we need to do at Latimer is talk about the connection with our lighthouses, and vice versa,� Oregon State Parks’ Chris Havel suggested.)

Betty Baumgart from Spring Lake Realty introduced the “One More Night� campaign, geared toward getting visitors to stay a little longer (KTIL Radio is donating the advertising). Mayors Suzanne McCarthy (Garibaldi), Shaena Peterson (Bay City) and Suzanne Weber (Tillamook) discussed the “Q-Care� customer service program they’ve been promoting (and which their cities and Rockaway Beach are implementing).

County commissioner Bill Baertlein reviewed the “Rails and Trails� effort; “The economic impact will be tremendous if we work together,� he said. The average cyclist is spending $194 a day, he

ty-wide room tax could enable a similar “investment� in marketing Tillamook County, since state law would require 70 percent of the money to be spent on tourism promotion.

(The remaining 30 percent could be dedicated to roads.) “Tourism is not our goal,�

Tish told the audience. “It’s a strategy.� Over two-thirds of the kids at Garibaldi Grade School are getting some form of lunch assistance, he noted. “The root of the problem is in our communities.� Investing in tourism, Tish suggested, “is investing in our children’s future.� “Results are obtained by working together,� county commission chair Mark Labhart said. “There needs to be a clear message and a unified marketing effort. Some groups are ready to help,� he noted.

He promised “something on the ballot in November to move this along.�

Bounce back wins for Tillamook Baseball

Headlight Herald Sports

After losing badly to R.A. Long, Tillamook beats Corbett, then handily beats R.A Long in rematch

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook baseball had a turn around season last year; they beat the No. 1 ranked Scappoose Indians in the biggest upset in Mook baseball history, they won more games than they have in years and they brought a little life to a program that has been struggling since the days of head coach Randy Schild.

Though the high hopes for a brighter future felt good, those hopes are nothing more than dust in the wind, unless Tillamook baseball can deliver again this season.

Well, after suffering a 11-5 loss to Taft in the first game of the season, followed by a 14-4 loss to Central, Mook baseball enthusiasts were far from excited about the season early on. So when Tillamook headed to Seaside to play in the Seaside Invitational tournament last weekend, they needed a win in the worst way and more importantly, a shift in momentum and a glimmer of hope.

Tillamook vs R.A. Long The Cheesemakers took on R.A. Long from Kelso, Wash.

In the tournament's opening game. Dean Klugh was assigned to the hill for Tillamook and he delivered exactly what he was supposed to.

Klugh pitched four innings, only giving up four hits and two earned runs before he came out of the game to give his arm a rest.

Tillamook only trailed 2-1 at that point - but a few hits off reliever Dylan King, a sudden sickness of errors and compounded mistakes and suddenly the game got out of hand.

R.A. Long scored nine runs in the fifth inning to 10-run the Cheesemakers and get the win, 11-1.

“It was one of those games

where we suddenly had a meltdown on defense,” said Tillamook coach Josh Brown.

“All our pitchers pitched pretty well, especially Dean, but we can't compound mistakes like that.”

Of R.A. Long's 11 runs in the game, only three were earned. The rest came off of Tillamook errors.

Tillamook vs Corbett The Cheesemakers had a chance to redeem themselves after their tournament opening defeat when they played Corbett the next day in a game that took an entirely different turn.

Damien Brown took the hill for Tillamook and like Klugh, delivered a good pitching performance. Brown spread out two hits and four strikeouts over five innings, not to mention a couple hits in the game.

The biggest difference for Tillamook from their game a day prior was the errors; only two for the team.

Garret Armstrong came in and pitched a scoreless last two innings and Matt Strang added a triple and another single for Tillamook's offense.

When all was said and done, the Cheesemakers came out on the right side of the scoreboard with a 5-3 victory.

“In this game we had a lot better attitude when we stepped to the plate,” Brown said. “It took us some time to get right in the batters box, but we finally started going into the box with confidence and they turned into better hitting which carried into our second game later that evening.”

Tillamook vs R.A. Long Tillamook's third and final game was against the same R.A. Long team that had just dealt them a whipping a day prior, but this wasn't the same

In addition to throwing very well in each of their starts, Matt Strang and Damien Brown both had six hits in three games to lead their team to two wins at the Seaside Invitational.

Tillamook team that played in that first game.

“The game earlier in the day really carried over and gave up momentum,” Brown said.

It also didn't hurt that Tillamook's ace, Matt Strang, took the bump. There's no question the rest of the Cheesemakers step up their game when Strang pitches because they know without a doubt they'll have a chance to win - Strang isn't going to give up many runs. This game was no different.

Strang absolutely dealt it to R.A. Long, racking up a complete seven inning game with only two earned runs and an impressive 14 strikeouts.

To get perspective on how well Strang pitched, there are

21 outs in a seven inning game. Strang's 14 strikeouts meant he averaged striking out two of the three outs every inning of the game.

Besides pitching, Strang helped his own cause with three hits. Also racking up three of his own was Damien Brown who added a triple and Eddie Barajas and Sean Rummage who both had a pair of hits.

Tillamook's bats hadn't been that good all season but they were that game, beating R.A. Long, 11-3.

“It was a huge confidence builder for us,” Coach Brown said. “The coaching staff has been trying to get the kids to pick their heads up when they get down and bounce back to challenge again. That's the

mentality that we want and after losing to R.A. Long the first day it kind of clicked for us and we wanted payback.”

Tillamook has two doubleheaders left before league play.

They'll travel to Warrenton on March 26 and then to Gladstone on March 28. After that, the Cheesemakers will open up the Cowapa League play at home against Seaside on April 2.

“I want us to continue the power hitting and stepping on the field with the mentality that we're the best team out there,” Brown added. “We need to keep up the solid defense and use the momentum from these wins to move forward and develop a killer instinct on the diamond.”

The Nestucca Bobcat track kids took off for Regis on March 21 to compete in a coed meet where the boys and girls stepped a little out of their typical comfort zones.

“The unusual coed format of the running relays at Regis made for interesting hand offs, but proved to a fun experience for Bobcat athletes,” said Bobcat track coach John Elder.

“Participating in rarely run medley relays allowed some Cats to try new distances for the first time.”

Drace Moeller, who's best know for his throwing exploits, also ran a 200 meter leg in a coed sprint medley. Nate Parks, new to track, pole vaulted and earned fifth place with a PR of eight feet.

The shuttle hurdle relay proved to be the most successful running relay of the meet for the Bobcats, as the team of Kycie Richwine, Erin Winesburg, Wyatt McKillip and Gage McCall finished in the second place spot.

The Bobcats are always strong in the field and this meet proved no different. They continued to flex their muscles with success in the throws. Besides Moeller, other Cat throwers to place were Austin McKillip, taking first in javelin; Brett Elder, taking fourth in the shot put and fifth in discus; Trisha Hopkins, taking fifth in the discus; Louise Besonhe, taking seventh in discus with a PR of 65-feet three-inches; Monica Chatelain, taking eighth in the javelin, as well as running super relay legs of 100, 400 and 800 meters.

The Nestucca pole vaulters did especially well. Lucas Leslie and Austin McKillip tied for second at nine-feet six-inches and freshman Ryan Leslie grabbed two PRs - one in the in the pole vault taking sixth place at seven-feet six inches and in triple jump with a 32-foot nineinch leap.

Up next, the Bobcats will compete at Neah-Kah-Nie at the Northwest League Relays on Apr. 4.

Mook softball gets first win of the season

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook softball team's season is officially underway and the girls have three games under their belt so far. The Lady Cheesemakers started off their season with a doubleheader against Taft on March 13, followed by another home game against Gladstone on March 22.

The Mooks split with Taft and lost to Gladstone to start off their season 21. Through the games, assistant coach Wes Seidel said he's been able to really see what this Tillamook team is made of, along with the things they do well and the things that need to improve.

Tillamook vs Taft Tessa Streeter pitched for the Cheesemakers to open up their season, but the defense behind her didn't hold up as well as it should and Tillamook dropped the first game, 10-1. Between the first and second game, a switch must have flipped for Tillamook because they played a much better second game and got the win, 9-4.

“We played a lot better defense in the second game, and we were a lot more patient at the plate,” Seidel said.

“That patience turned into seven walks in the game for us and were we able to capitalize on those free passes and score more runs.”

Tillamook's offense wasn't red hot, but a few girls had a good day at the plate.

Nikki Carney was solid swinging the bat with a 3-5 performance over the two games, as was Ashlin Sheneman who went 4-7 in the doubleheader.

“Those two swing really well for us and helped us get the first win of the year,” Seidel said.

Tillamook vs Gladstone “We played a lot better defense in this one, but our hitting just kind of went away,” Seidel said. “Their pitching was pretty average, but wasn't anything special. Honestly, I was a little bummed we didn't hit better.”

Tillamook only managed a handful of hits and swung through a lot of pitches they should have at least made contact with. That led to a lot of strikeouts and not a lot of pressure on the Gladstone defense. The 7-0 Gladiators are far too dangerous at the plate not to have your team hitting well and Gladstone got out of Tillamook with a 9-1

Fresh start, Fresh Day,

win.

“By the third or fourth inning, we should have had their pitcher locked in, but we weren't aggressive and never really got going,” Seidel said about his offense. “I'm not really sure what happened. I know they're 7-0, but they didn't really look all that special. We just didn't show up.”

With the Cheesemakers sitting at 12 so far this season, there's room to improve - but they also have enough good things happening so there's no reason to panic if you're a Tillamook fan.

“We could have maybe made a few plays on defense had we had better range this season that we didn't, but we're going to get there,” Seidel said.

“The girls are playing hard and they have the right attitude. We just need to pick up our hitting and score some runs. When we do that, the wins will come.”

Tillamook will get their next chance to chalk one up in the win column when they play in the Battle at the Beach Tournament on March 25-26.

The Lady Cheesemakers’ poor pitch selection was a big part of their hitting woes on a cold and windy night when they hosted Gladstone.

Lady Pirates fall to Knappa, but look “So much better than they were last year”

Winning isn’t everything

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

Sometimes in the sports realm, the idea that a game is played for fun can get lost. The joy of winning and the consequences of losing become the only motivating factors, and the idea of sportsmanship is pushed aside by the need to win at any cost. It's a sad day when a person's self-esteem takes a blow because of their performance in a game that's supposed to be about having fun.

But there is one group of athletes in Tillamook County who've made the game all about fun and friendship, who understand that winning isn’t everything.

The Tillamook County Special Olympic teams are a model of sportsmanship and kindness while still winning games and placing at the top, especially the Tillamook Hawks basketball team.

There are three divisions in Special Olympics for Basketball; Skills, 3:3 and 5:5.

Skills is for those that are unable to play a competitive sport such as 3:3 and/or 5:5 level. Skills has individual events such as dribbling a short distance, or shooting to hit a large square painted on the wall from a distance of 10 feet.

The next division is 3:3, commonly called "half court basketball.” 3:3 has some unique rules such as each team has three players on the court during the game, the free-throw line is at half court, there is no jump ball, no limit on fouls and fouls do not count against the player who committed the foul.

Each game is played for 20

minutes or until one team scores 20 points. There are no jump balls and no free throws in 3:3.

The Tillamook Hawks have five players on the 3:3 team, ranging in age from 14 to 48 years old. The Hawks 5:5 team hasn't lost a single game in five seasons.

“While we have been undefeated for the past 5 years, this ‘record’ does not mean a lot to our players,” Special Olympics Coach Rich Riley explained.

“They are more excited about meeting new friends, seeing old friends, the excitement of the trip than the outcome of the game.”

“The last time we competed, we won every game 20-0, so each game was stopped on the 20-point rule. The number one question I got after each game was, ‘Did we win Coach?’ Followed by, ‘Can we eat now?’"

As someone who's been involved with Special Olympics for years as the basketball head coach and assistant coach for the softball or other sports, Riley said he's seen some of the most inspiring performances and displays of kindness imaginable.

“A couple of years ago, I was at a track meet in Portland for Special Olympics and in the longest race there was one young man who was so far ahead of the pack that he almost lapped them,” Riley explained. “When he approached the finish line in front of the grandstands, the spectators rose and gave him a standing ovation. He was so pleased that he stopped running and stood there waving with

the biggest grin on his face. He was so proud to be receiving that kind of cheering. Every other runner passed him and he finished last but he didn't care, people cheered for him and that was all that mattered. I'm confident it was one the proudest moments of his life.”

In addition to the happiness these athletes get from being recognized for their hard work, Riley said it's all about the friendships among the athletes.

“I heard of something that happened during a track meet that can best describe these special athletes,” Riley explained.

“There was a large district track meet and when they ran the 100 yard dash, one of the runners who was trailing the pack fell down. All the runners stopped, walked back, helped her up and walked hand in hand to the finish line. The spectators gave them a standing ovation as they were, and are, all ‘winners.’ That is what Special Olympics is all about.”

Riley understands that Special Olympics is a great way to give these athletes a chance to get out, create friendships and have fun competing, and he says that just being involved has made his life better than he could ever have imagined.

“I played football, baseball, ran track and boxed in the Golden Gloves and I was most competitive person there,” Riley said. “But from these special athletes I have learned that it’s so much more than who won and who lost. I never realized how fortunate I was just to be able to compete and to have met so many wonderful people along the way.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Alderbrook Men’s Club Dues are due. $50 for a single, $30 for 75 or older. Fun night will be held in April on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Teams are needed for Wednesday and Thursday leagues.

The Neah-Kah-Nie Lady Pirates softball team was coming off back-to-back losses to Sheridan on March 16 when they started their series with the Knappa Lady Loggers on March 21 in Rockaway Beach.

Then, the series wrapped up with a double header at Knappa the following day.

Neah-Kah-Nie wasn't able to win any of the three games, but the margin of defeat was slight, and Pirates head coach Jacque Vandecoevering saw huge improvements in her team's play. Especially compared to last year's team.

“They're so much better than they were last year,” Vandecoevering said. “Our JOSIAH DARR PHOTO defense was actually really Hayley Felix’s slap hitting gives her a running start to first base good, but we couldn't hit the before she even makes contact with the softball, making her a ball well enough to win.” very tough girl to get out.

Basically the Pirates, but more imporTaylan Mckinney once they hit the ball, and we didtantly excels at putting the ball again did the pitching duties n't.” in play and her speed gets her Despite losing the series, Neah-Kah-Nie losing games by single digit margins to very good teams like Knappa speaks volumes to how much this team has improved from one season to the next.

“I think my team is just now realizing they're going to be competitive this season and we're going to play some close games with teams that beat us 20-0 last season,” Vandecoevering said. “The confidence in themselves is definitely getting better because Knappa is a good team and they stuck with them. The girls should be proud of their improvements.”

Vandecoevering added that while her team doesn't play any games for a week, they'll be doing a lot of batting practice.

On March 30 the Pirates will travel to Toledo for their JOSIAH DARR PHOTO next game, starting at noon.

The Pirates played well against Knappa, but the Lady Loggers’ heavy hitters took care of business.

Thanks to Kay Saddler for relaying the good news that FVW Post 911 Auxiliary Member Alice Johnson, who suffered a recent fall, is improving but still not back in her own home yet. She’s reportedly very grateful for all of our "get well and thinking of you" cards.

Kay mentioned that Wally Lien of Beaver was the lucky winner of the Easter-theme table runner and machine embroidered kitchen towel set for his donation to the VFW’s "Think Outside the Box for Our Youth" fundraising project. Sue Lenzi pulled his name from 43 tickets at the Auxiliary's March meeting. Youth Chairman Kay Saddler wishes to thank the community for supporting the Junior Girls and Young American Creative Art Program.

You may have a whole litter of kittens at your place before long.) Looks like you may have a new cat or cats before long.

We have a very large gray cat that comes around every so often at our place and there is an orange cat that frequents the place also. I don't feed them. They leave, and come back another day. I still don't feed them. Mark and Elaine Bennett kept a cute baby kitten left below our deck last Fourth of July. It is a male. I don't know of anyone looking for a stray gray cat. Good luck.

Please, I would like to ask all those who have positions of responsibility in economic, political, social life, and all men and women of good will: Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God’s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and the environment.”

all of us that live in the Netarts/Oceanside Community.

You guys are the best!”

Congratulations to Tom and Carol Kemp who are celebrating 50 years of marriage on March 30!

Join Oregonians from across the state to celebrate the nearly three decades of twice-yearly beach clean-ups along the entire Oregon coast. The “2013 Great Oregon Beach Clean-up” will be held May 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Meet at the Netarts Boat Basin to check in.

You are encouraged to bring your own bucket/bag and gloves. Remember to wear sturdy shoes and weather appropriate clothing.

In the last few months several large pieces of Japanese tsunami debris have been found along the coast with invasive species attached. If found – do not touch. Call “211” to report.

Place all bags too heavy to carry above the high-water tide line. Netarts/Oceanside Volunteer Firefighters will run the beach and gather the bags/debris gathered. For more information contact: Briana Goodman, Program Coordinator at 503-844-6571 x371 or at briana@solv.org.

St. Francis said, “all the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”

Pope Francis said, “today, too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.”

I

watched the inauguration of Pope Francis on March 13. The blue sky over the Vatican was bathed in sunshine with wisps of fluffy white clouds… My heart was full of love for this humble man from the Americas. A simple man, who disregarded the church’s fineries, paid for his own lodging, road the bus, blessed children, the very ill and exuded love to all!

“We must open our arms to protect all of God’s people and embrace with tender affection the whole humanity, especially the poorest, weakest, the least important, those whom Matthew lists in the field of judgment on love: the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the

olks, Terry Kandle could use your help.

Terry’s been put in charge (because he suggested the idea) of a downtown cleanup campaign, and is seeking a crew of volunteers to help. It’ll take place Friday, April 19, which is the NKN Junior High School’s Day of Service (the kids are expected to help, too). You’ll be tidying up the downtown area – mostly picking up paper and plastic trash – along Highway 101 and the railroad tracks.

Meet at city hall at 8 a.m. – and you’d probably better bring gloves. Terry figures the work can all be done in half a day. Call him at 503-322-0347 (home) or 503-805-8709 (cell). And thanks in advance for helping.

Congratulations to Gene Tish, who was appointed March 18 as

March 19th left us with a wind and rainstorm; it gave our part of the earth its first spring cleansing!

The same evening, Jan and Larry Taraba gave a lesson on “tips for spring cleaning” at NCC’s monthly potluck/meeting. Remember… the Rummage Sale is coming up!

March Madness is in full swing. In all of my excitement, Gonzaga is not #1 in the nation, but were the Western Division Champions and the games go on.

Mary Jo Dzundza would like to thank some members of the Netarts/Oceanside Rural Fire District, namely, Chief Tim Carpenter, Captain Jim Dickerson, Jordan Reyes, Brian Ogelvie, and Nick Campbell for rescuing her beloved cat BooBoo from a harrowing experience.

He got chased up a tree and was there for two days and one night. “Many thanks, to all of you,” she said. “I think BooBoo would still be up there if it wasn’t for your help. Thanks for being there for me and for the newest member of the Garibaldi Planning Commission.

Tish replaces John Ramer, who moved, and will fill out the balance of John’s term, which runs until 2016.

On Saturday, March 30, the Garibaldi Museum is having another Spring Break Scavenger Hunt, starting at noon. It’s open to children and adults, and they’ll have refreshments and prizes.

Admission to the museum is only $3 for adults, $2.50 for seniors and kids (kids under 5 get in free). The Garibaldi Museum is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

April 1 – the day after Easter is the deadline for applications for the Neah-Kah-Nie Graduate Scholarships. Anyone who has graduated from Neah-Kah-Nie High School, from 1954 (the year the first senior class graduated) on, is eligible. (Current high school seniors, in other words, are not.)

The idea behind the scholarships is to support continuing education; the scholarships are good for vocational schools as well as regular colleges. The scholarship committee is reportedly awarding around $10,000 this year. You can get applications from the NKN Career Center at the high school, download them from the school’s Website (www.neahkahnie.k12.or.us), or

call Jerry Underwood at 503322-3848. Applications must be received at P.O. Box 373, Rockaway Beach, OR 97136 by April 1.

Remember the Garibaldi Museum scholarships, too: the museum awards one $1,000 scholarship to a TBCC student, one $1,000 and three $750 scholarships to Tillamook County high school students (who can come from anywhere in the county).

Deadlines are April 30 for the high school students, and May 30 for TBCC students. They want a PowerPoint presentation from the TBCC students and essays from the high-schoolers; details and application forms are on the museum’s website, www.garibaldimuseum.com. The Museum and staff are available for research; call 503-322-8411.

With luck, what folks have been referring to as “our Merry Christmas weather” will be over soon; I’m told that Punxatawney Phil, the world’s most famous weather rodent, has taken a lot of heat for his “winter over soon” prediction back in February.

Locally, I’ve noticed that often, when people complain about hail, someone corrects them, saying, “That’s not hail, it’s graupel -- I read it in the paper.” It was in this column, in fact. Thanks for reading, folks.

If ever there was justification for a Saturday trip to Tillamook for families, it’s the Serendipity Clothing Exchange happening from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, April 13. The free swap is the brainchild of Roxanne Fletcher, herself the mother of two boys who rapidly outgrow perfectly good clothing.

Once a quarter or so, she reserves the multipurpose room of the Tillamook Methodist Church at 3808 Twelfth St. (near Tillamook High School). Donations are gathered by drop-off after 8:00 a.m. the day before (Friday, April 12), or brought with shoppers the day of the event. On Saturday, folks can take what they can use, including baby equipment and toys as well as clothing, leaving items outgrown by their family for other shoppers.

We who are staying closer to home that weekend will find something for everyone at the tenth annual Birding and Blues Festival happening

uti is on his way out to sea. Thank you Diane and Terry Griffin for allowing us to follow along on the journey of the salmon growth. There were about 35-40 people there to celebrate their release at Patterson Creek this last Saturday.

Jim and I caravanned to the creek along with Robert and Kathy Pollock. John Sollman got to be escorted by vehicle to the end of the road but the four of us, along with the rest of the adults and kids, got to trek in through mud and water. Luckily the rain stayed at bay until after the last fish was released and I believe that was Jim with his two cups of fish.

The children who came along were a delight to be with. They oohed and aahhed at the little fishies and held their cups so carefully. Everyone got a turn of two or three cups with fish in them. Carefully they were poured into the shallow, still part of the stream. According to Diane, there were approximately 250 fish released that day.

On the way back we were all in a downpour but our spirits were high and none of us minded. Even the littlest one that slipped and almost did a face plant in the mud continued happily along.

Statistically, only about one fish in a hundred will complete their life’s journey at sea and return to spawn. Those that don’t make it back will have become a part of nature’s food chain.

Diane Griffin instituted the fish release as a science project for her fourth and fifth grade science classes at Garibaldi Grade School. Each year she obtained about 200 to 250 eggs from the Trask River Hatchery and placed them in the classroom fish tank.

The children observed as the eggs hatched and the little fish carried the yolk sacs on their bellies until the entire nutrient had been absorbed. When the belly slits had closed, the fish were taken to Patterson Creek and

All is well in the world again because my postal lady, Mona, is back delivering my mail. Welcome back to the route. We have missed you.

Proud Tina from the post office gave me a little more information on Rebecca Savage. She was in the Woman's State Wrestling Championship representing NKN High School. Our girl won! Congratulations - and she's only a junior.

I've always wanted to say this: the hookers will be in Rockaway... Okay, rug hooking school. It's their 25th year of classes and to show their efforts throughout the year, they are hosting the "Walk on Art Rug Hooking Show." It will be held in the shelter at Twin Rocks Friendship Camp and Convention Center, Mar 26 - 27 from 18 p.m. and Mar 28 from 1-4 p.m.

There is no admission and you will see a show of finished projects such as rugs, pillows etc. I'm taking Amber there. Contact Arlene Strutz at 503-355-2560.

Now don't forget Monday is April Fools Day. Don't get caught in a prank. Better yet, plan a prank! I've been involved with some doozies in the past, but it would take an entire column to share.

I'm asking a personal favor from all of you. A member of my family is in for the fight of his life and could use lots of prayers.

I believe in the power of prayer.

The more blessings sent his way, the better. Thank you.

Commissioner wants things back in the box

R

ecently I did not attend a workshop on March 13 conducted by the President of the United States of America for Tillamook County times three. See, if you look at our county as if it were the United States of America, the chief executive would be the President, right? But Tillamook County calls our chief executive commissioner, and instead of one, we have three of them, Commissioners Josi, Labhart and Baertlein, or Commissioner Jablein for short.

The acronym CPAC stands for community planning advisory committee. Many communities in Tillamook County have a CPAC. Just think of CPAC’s like our congress, only uncapitalized. They relay your opinions to Commissioner Jablein, only Tillamook’s CPAC’s, or our congress, has a higher approval rating than our Congress in Washington D.C. Since I didn’t go to the workshop, it was pretty confusing. I had to listen to an hour and a half recording of the meeting and sometimes it was hard to tell who was saying what. I had to have help from friends who were at the meeting. You wouldn’t think it would be much fun sitting around listening

to an hour and a half recording of Commissioner Jablein and our congress, but it was actually pretty entertaining. If you’d like to listen, call 503-842-3406 and they’ll send you the link.

The people at the meeting sounded pretty confused. Even Commissioner Jablein sounded confused. What was confusing him was the box SCHUBERT our congress kept getting out of it.

MOORE When our congress got out of the box they kept giving Commissioner Jablein their opinions and expected him to appreciate it. I got the impression Commissioner Jablein wasn’t entirely pleased with our congress being out of the box and kept trying to get them back in it, because he kept saying, “you’re out of the box.” Commissioner Jablein thought our congress was supposed to be giving their opinions to CAC’s, community action committees which haven’t existed in a couple of decades, but our congress kept trying to skip the nonexistent CAC’s and give their opinions to Commis-

sioner Jablein until he told our congress they were out of the box, that they didn’t exist and in fact had never existed. I told you it was confusing.

I think Commissioner Jablein hurt our congress’ feelings. One member of our congress, Larry Rouse, told me it was humiliating to be told he never existed, and to receive not so much as a thank you - to just be dismissed after giving up his Saturday mornings or Monday evenings once a month for seven years going to two-hour meetings so our congress could relay what Tillamook County residents had on their mind.

Since then Commissioner Jablein has changed his mind. I don’t know what happened to change his mind but now he believes our congress does exist. In fact, Commissioner Jablein said he has a whole new appreciation of our congress.

I would like to know what changed his mind. Maybe it was the reaction of the Tillamook County residents who didn’t appreciate being told our congress didn’t exist. Or maybe Commissioner Jablein reflected on some of what our congress had told him, and thought, you know, our congress has some pretty good ideas.

doms. Of course, this was obvious but it took someone pointing it out to me before I got how silly it would be to plant precious things inside the perimeter of a border fence.

Our entire yard is fenced, and in some instances, mature shrubs grow along that fence.

In other portions, the fence is lined with blackberries for the birds to enjoy. But I know Tess loves to run along the fence, checking out who is walking or driving down our street. I am not concerned about the mature shrubs or the blackberries, but I took to heart leaving perimeter space empty of anything special. Grass is planted there, but fine gravel would probably be even better and make less of a muddy mess.

Fresh water is a necessity.

Maggie will drink from puddles but Tess prefers a clean bowl.

Also, I am more aware of the toxicity of my plants now that Tess eats them. She is particularly attracted to eating grasses, which are pretty much harmless. I didn’t realize how tasty Japanese forest grass would be to a grazing dog, but those are her preference. Of course… they are the most expensive grasses I have. That dog has “good taste” (you

should pardon the pun). So the Hakonechloa grasses go outside the front gate where I can enjoy them and Tess can’t reach them.

But some plants, like Acontium (monkshood) and Euphorbia, can be dangerous when ingested so I have created some unique - and virtually free fencing around certain clumps of plants. I spend lots of time on the Barview beaches scouting for nice pieces of driftwood that I use to construct a fence.

A few strategically placed screws to join the pieces of driftwood, and – voila! – a fence. Not a long-term solution, I admit, but it will help in the short run to encourage Tess to stay on the paths instead of running through the garden. A bonus is that I happen to like the way driftwood fences lend a hint of the ocean to the garden. I do try to choose pieces that have been dried in the sun so most of the salt content has hopefully been evaporated. I also have to remember not to make the fence too high so I can effortlessly step over it.

All I need to do now is to spend some time in the garden with my dear Tess, training her to run along the driftwood fencing instead of jumping over it.
