HEADLIGHT HERALD Staff Report

The issue of funding Tillamook County’s roads is tentatively scheduled to come before voters again in May 2013, according to a statement from the Sustainable Roads Committee Chair, Jon Carnahan.

Carnahan, the recently retired president of Tillamook Bay Community College, has volunteered to lead an effort and committee to “bring forward a recommendation to the residents of Tillamook County” – most likely some form of bond measure to pay to maintain the county’s deteriorating roads.

Last November, 52.8 percent of voters defeated a $15 million bond measure that would have gone to repair county roads.

Patriot Guard rides in memory of Jim Burnett

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

ROCKAWAY BEACH – An estimated 65 leather-clad, motorcycle-riding veterans assembled Saturday afternoon Sept. 8 at the former Hayward’s auto sales lot in Tillamook, for a flagcarrying memorial procession first to Rockaway, then Manzanita.

They’re the Patriot Guard Riders, (PGR), and they were there to honor one of their own.

70-year-old Jim Burnett was headed to Manzanita from Portland for a “mission” (flag line at a soldier’s funeral) when he was struck broadside by a car exiting a side road (Minnehaha) and killed June 22.

“This is not a PGR mission,” district captain Dennis Reynolds of Nehalem had told the riders.

Normally, on Patriot Guard Riders’ “missions” they provide a flag line at a fallen soldier’s or veteran’s funeral. In this case, Burnett, a ride captain for the organization, had been en route to such a mission in Manzanita when he was killed. The participants in the Jim Burnett Memorial Ride came from all over the Portland area and southwest Washington, Reynolds said.

The Patriot Guard Riders were

formed in 2005, Reynolds said, in response to “the wackos” from Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas picketing military funerals.

“We’re not a counter-protest,” he said. “We’re there to shield the families from those people.” Still, “if they [the picketers] dried up and blew away, we’d still do this,” Reynolds said. “It feels good to honor people who have served the nation.”

The Patriot Guard Riders now have about 250,000 members nationwide.

Law enforcement officers from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police led and trailed the procession to the accident site at Min-

nehaha and U.S. 101, while Tillamook City Police blocked traffic at signaled intersections. They were met at the accident site by volunteers from Rockaway Beach Fire & Rescue, who came in two fire trucks to honor Burnett.

A stone marker and landscaping on the edge of the intersection marks where Burnett was killed. With Riders displaying American flags, firefighters, police and other attendees listened to brief remarks from Ed “Santa” Holterman, who was accompanying Burnett to Manzanita the day Burnett was killed, and John Elms, chaplain for the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

Following the invocations, two cans of Coors beer — “Those beers traveled 3,000 miles to get here,” Reynolds said — were metered out in thimble-sized shot glasses so the attendees could drink a toast to Jim. The procession, again accompanied by law enforcement, then traveled north, to ceremonies at Calvary Bible Church in Manzanita and a barbecue at Nehalem Bay State Park.

Jim’s ashes, in a brightly-decorated urn, were displayed at the memorial site, and then taken to the church in Manzanita.

“Jim,” Holterman said, “is going to finish his ride.”

Another art cow forced to move

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

HEBO – The Hebo cow is being evicted from its current location on Hwy. 101 where it marks the entrance to the new fire station and the Cedar Creek Childcare Center.

The cow is in conflict with the fire department’s insurance policy, according to Fire Chief Kris Weiland.

“Our insurance company is calling the cow sculpture an “attractive nuisance,” said Weiland. The risk, according to Weiland is that children climbing on the cow sculpture could fall and hurt themselves. “It’s bolted to a concrete base,” he said.

The Hebo cow is the product of a public art project that resulted in three cow sculptures built by artists and painted by local students. The sculptures were erected in north, central and south Tillamook County.

See COW, Page A8

MARY FAITH BELL/HEADLIGHT HERALD

This cow sculpture is being removed from Nestucca Fire Department property because it could be an ‘attractive nuisance’ for children to climb on. Oddly enough, it’s being moved to the Cedar Creek Childcare Center.

CLOVERDALE – Monday, Sept. 10 was the grand opening and dedication of Tillamook Bay Community College’s “TBCC South” building on the grounds of Nestucca Valley High School.

The money to build the facility was part of the bond issue approved by voters.

“It was in the ballot title,” TBCC President Connie Green said. “Technology centers in North and South County. It was part of the plan from the very beginning.”

Green’s predecessor as TBCC President, Jon Carnahan, stayed on as head of the TBCC Foundation to see construction of TBCC South to its completion, Green said.

The 2,763 sq.ft. building sits on what used to be one of the two tennis courts adjacent to Nestucca Valley High School.

(The other tennis court is still intact and in use.) A modular building — though it doesn’t look it — the facility was erected in just four months. Landscaping was provided by kids from the Oregon Youth Authority, with direction (and plants) from the Tillamook Master Gardeners.

Some of the OYA-ers were on hand for the open house and dedication, along with TBCC and Nestucca board members and personnel, and folks from the surrounding community.

The dedication ceremony was moved outside to the building’s front porch and parking lot, to take advantage of the sunshine and warm temperatures.

TBCC Board chairman Craig Wakefield, TBCC President Connie Green, Nestucca principal Randy Wharton and Nestucca superintendent Kathryn Hedrick all expressed profuse thanks for voter approval of the bond issue that made construction and outfitting of the building possible.

“We said we’d bring educational opportunities to north, south, and central county,” Wakefield told the crowd.

Master Gardeners celebrate 25 years Master Gardeners are trained volunteers, educated through OSU Extension Service to offer the local community “reliable, relevant and reachable” gardening information and education opportunities.

TCMGA President Laura Owens called Master Gardeners “a labor of love.”

“I'm a native gardener, most all of my plants are natives of Oregon,” she said. “It’s just such a wonderful group of people and I love everything we do here.”

In Oregon, Master Gardener training is currently conducted out of extension service offices in 30 counties. Although these counties offer courses on topics such as basic botany, entomology, and plant disease, programs are tailored to the different climates, soils and local needs of individual counties.

The training program takes several months to complete. In Tillamook, classes are held on Tuesdays, Jan. 17 through April 3, with a required orientation on Jan. 10. If you are interested in becoming a Master Gardener, contact the OSU Extension in Tillamook at 503-842-3433.

Master Gardeners celebrated their 25th year as an organization in Tillamook County with a potluck at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds on Sept. 8.

Hosted by the Tillamook County Master Gardener Association (TCMGA) and the Tillamook OSU Extension Service, the event was a chance for all those who have completed the Master Gardener course over the years to reconnect and reminisce.

One Master Gardener was present from that first class 25 years ago – Lucy Scholerman, who took the class with her husband.

“My husband Jack and I heard about it from the extension office and we decided to come and see what it was all about,” Scholerman recalled.

“We live in Bay City and we grew a huge garden, and we had about 15 apple trees and pear trees and we wanted to know what was conducive for the coast, the types of fertilizers.

Even though Jack had an agricultural degree, that was back east, so we were dealing with a much wetter climate and a shorter season..

“It was just an incredible course,” she said, “full of information, it was never boring, and the people..... were very good and always answered ques-

tions. It was really, really a very valuable course to take because it’s something that you have forever.”

Since it began, the TCMGA has trained close to 500 people in the Master Gardener program.

Speaker for the event was Carla Albright, who also writes a regular

gardening column in the Headlight Herald (which you can find on Page B5). She joked that she had been asked to speak on something “profound,” and decided that she would at least end on a profound quote from Abraham Lincoln - “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or

rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”

Albright also spoke on what makes a good gardener. Her view? A good gardener needs patience, luck, niceness, ambition, tenacity and – perhaps most importantly – supporters. And it’s in that last area that the Master Gardeners are most important.

Tillamook man wins $90K Ford Family Foundation Scholarship

Aaron Brumbach is sitting pretty as he prepares for fall term classes at Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC). The Tillamook man won a Ford Family Foundation scholarship for college expenses that could add up to $90,000 and see him through graduate school.

Kenneth Ford, a southern Oregon lumberman, had a vision for giving back to the community by offering promising and deserving students a hand up to go to college. In 1994 Ford and his wife Hallie started the Roseburg-based foundation that gives almost $12 million dollars in scholarships annually, and has helped approximately 2000 students go to school.

Brumbach won the Ford ReStart Scholarship, based upon “a comprehensive selection and interview process focused on initiative, motivation to learn, leadership potential, work ethic, interest in helping others and a desire to make a new beginning in life by returning to school.”

Brumbach said that he was one of 600 applicants for 45 scholarships awarded to Oregon and northern California students.

Of the 600 applicants, 80 were chosen to interview.

“When I got an interview, I knew I had a chance,” Brumbach.

The scholarship will cover “90 percent of my total education costs,” said Brumbach, “that’s tuition and books and living expenses, they’ll even pay $800 a month for daycare for my kids, to allow me to concentrate on school. It’s a lot of money and it’s an incredible foundation. They really care about you.”

It is a lot of money: up to $25,000 a year for three years of undergraduate work, and up to $15,000 toward a graduate degree if Brumbach maintains a 3.6 GPA. Brumbach has already completed one year at TBCC, and will finish a second year before he transfers to University of Oregon, where he will have a double major in English and History, and then go on to get a Master’s degree in Education.

“I want to teach writing,” he said. “I have a passion for it. I feel it’s a skill that’s very underappreciated. It held me back, and it’s embarrassing, not being able to write.”

Brumbach dropped out of high school in his sophomore year when his family was in crisis.

“My dad was in jail, and my brother was going to prison. I was really close to my brother. I was there in court with him when he was sentenced to prison, and unfortunately, I responded negatively.”

Brumbach worked at ShopKo for a while, and then he got into construction.

He learned on the job and eventually worked his way up to finish carpenter. “I

was doing OK,” he said, “but I just always felt like I could do more.”

Then the economy tanked, construction skidded to a halt, the company Brumbach worked for went bankrupt and he was out of work.

“I was a stay at home dad for a while,” he said. Brumbach’s young family includes his wife, Carrie Brumbach, who teaches middle school English in Tillamook and their children, Blazer Daniel, two years old, and Faith Ann, just two months.

“I decided I needed to go to school, but I was scared, I hadn’t been in school for a long time, and I didn’t know if I could do it.”

Brumbach said that he spent “hours watching grammar videos on YouTube,” trying to prepare for his college entrance exams.

It worked. He tested into Writing 121, and he was on his way. “I got A’s in Writing 121 and 122, and I thrived in school. I like it. I wanted to go for so long. It feels really good, confidence-wise. It’s amazing how much more confident I feel.”

Brumbach applied for the Ford Family Foundation scholarship with no expectations. “I never thought I would be here,” he said. But he had a 4.0 GPA, and an enthusiastic letter of reference from his TBCC teacher, Sydney Elliott.

“I qualified income-wise, and I must have made a good impression in the interview. They wanted to see my goals, like

public service, what I want to do, and how I’m going to give back. They wanted to see that I had survived adversity.

“I told them that I want to help high school kids. I want to try to help kids from making the same mistakes that I did. It’s not for the money. I made more as a carpenter than my wife does as a teacher, so that’s not the reason; I just want to teach.”

Brumbach is thankful to have begun his college sojourn at TBCC. “It’s awesome,” he said. “The professors are very accessible and they’re extremely willing to work with you. You couldn’t get that in a bigger college.”

He encourages other students to “roll up your sleeves and apply for scholarships. I was only one college term in, and a high school dropout with a GED. I didn’t think I would get it, but I still tried. It’s worth it.

It’s worth it to apply.”

“It has been great watching Aaron grow as a person and as a student,” said Sydney Elliott. “I have had him in several of my courses at TBCC. In the beginning, he was unsure of himself and his ability to be a good student. Over time, his confidence grew, and he became one of those students who went well above what was required of the assignments. He was continually engaged and curious. I also watched as he juggled the responsibilities and emotions of being a dad and husband. I am proud of his accomplishment, and Aaron is the type of student that deserves such an award.”

Message in a bottle found during beach cleanup

Among the new features of the 2012 election season is a proliferation of campaign signs, bumper stickers, and the like with new names – Arnie Roblan? Jerome Grant?

David Gomberg? Scott Roberts? And what do they have to do with Tillamook County?

The answer is they’re state legislators, or want to be state legislators. And thanks to a 2011 redistricting plan that redrew the boundaries of state legislative districts, these folks represent — or want to represent — south Tillamook County.

The redistricting, done to accommodate demographic changes that showed up in the 2010 Federal census, split Tillamook County roughly in half between two State House and two State Senate districts.

The changes will remain in effect for the next 10 years.

State Sen. Betsy Johnson and State Rep. Deborah Boone, who used to represent all of Tillamook County, now only represent the north half, from Tillamook north. Their districts include all of the City of Tillamook, plus Bay City, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Wheeler, Nehalem, and Manzanita, as well as all of Clatsop County, part of Washington County and (for Johnson) part of Columbia County.

Bayocean Spit and parts south are now in House District 10, which includes most of Lincoln County and parts of Yamhill and Polk counties.

The same area is also in a Senate District 5, which stretches south to Coos Bay. Cape Meares, Netarts, Oceanside, Beaver, Blaine, Pacific City, Woods, Tierra Del Mar, Hebo, Cloverdale, and Neskowin are all in the new south county districts.

South county will be voting for a State Senator this election, as well as a State Representative.

North county is electing only a State Representative.

Sen. Betsy Johnson isn’t up for election until 2014.

County. Roberts is an oral surgeon from North Bend; Roblan is currently the State Representative from Coos Bay.

House District 10 David Gomberg and Jerome Grant are the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively, for House District 10. Grant, who lives in Siletz, is owner-operator of Gracie’s Sea Hag Restaurant in Depoe Bay. Gomberg, from Neotsu, is also a small business owner. He owns Gomberg Kite Productions International and Northwest Winds Kite Store in Lincoln City.

House District 32 In the north county district, there’s a race only in House District 32. Incumbent State Rep. Deborah Boone, Democrat, is facing Constitution Party candidate Jim Welsh and Libertarian Perry Roll.

Roll is a taxi driver in Astoria; Welsh is one of the owners of Manzanita Fresh Foods (now an IGA market) in Manzanita.

Boone was appointed on Aug. 4, 2004 to serve the remainder of the term for House District 32 when Elaine Hopson resigned in July 2004. She was re-elected in November 2004.

There is no Republican candidate in House District 32. Welsh won the Republican Party primary in May, but subsequently switched parties; the Oregon State Republican Party did not appoint a replacement candidate, though they had the opportunity to do so.

“It was determined that we would not hold a replacement process for Jim Welsh,” GOP Chief of Staff Greg Leo advised the Headlight Herald.

“We determined that our time and resources were more effectively spent recruiting a Republican candidate for the 2014 election cycle, rather than mounting a campaign for this office in the final sixty days of the current election cycle.”

Senate District 5

A group of around 30 volunteers hiked from Cape Lookout Campground out on Netarts Spit to collect tsunami and other debris on Sept. 8. Most of the debris was styrofoam and other kinds of plastic items in all sizes and shapes, along with one “Riken” tire mounted on a very rusty wheel. The most interesting item was a message in a bottle launched from Gearhart by a 15-year-old girl named Shasta. There was no date on when the message was launched, but it appeared to be recent.

The girl lives in Vancouver, Wash. and was visiting her grandparents. She wrote that her grandmother had told her about the movie, “Message in a Bottle” and that gave her the idea to write one herself.

Customer experience I

’ve reached my first year anniversary as the Executive Director of the Economic Development Council of Tillamook County and the Tillamook Small Business Development Center.

During the past year I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many business owners, public officials, community leaders and citizens of the County.

Everyone is in agreement—we all want to see a more robust and sustainable economy. Together we can build a stronger economy by doing what rural communities have always done very well: relying on each other, helping each other, and working together to reach a common goal.

I was taken by the recent letter to the editor in the Headlight Herald, (Aug. 15th) titled “A great ambassador for Tillamook.” Two visitors from Pendleton stopped at Kimmel True Value Hardware Store, and were helped by Mr. Kimmel, who loaned them his personal crab pot to use during their vacation, because purchasing one would have been too expensive for the time they would be using the pot. Needless to say they were “flabbergasted” that he would make such a generous offer of loaning a pot to complete strangers.

When they left for home they thought, “how refreshing it was to encounter such an incredibly honest and trusting businessman in this increasingly cynical world. It truly made our vacation”.

Mr. Kimmel’s generosity created an unbelievably positive customer experience. It generated an unsolicited testimonial for Kimmel Hardware in the form of a letter to the Headlight Herald, which also reflected positively on Tillamook County as a friendly place to visit. We all benefited.

These visitors will speak positively about this experience to their friends and neighbors, which will influence them to visit Tillamook County.

How would your business change if you and your staff started focusing on customer experience? A positive customer experience comes from good customer service. Thriving businesses are passionate about serving their customers, and that’s usually because it leads to something positive for the customer, which in turn leads to something positive for the business and the community. Customer service is the means; customer experience is the end.

Too often when someone calls “customer service,” or the owner or employee of a business, it’s with a complaint.

“Customer Service” is something we “have to do” to meet our customer’s needs.

“Customer Experience” is something we can do for someone. When your business focus is on your customers’ experience you engage your employees’ hearts and minds as opposed to simply working

from a job description.

Incorporating this philosophy into your business culture will yield good results, and make your employees happier to come to work.

Everyone likes to feel that they’re making a Dan Biggs Economic Development contribution and doing something good for others. Empower your employees to create successful customer experience.

Inspiring employees to be creative and to take on the vision of customer experience can be relatively simple. In a creative environment, employees tend to feel more committed, enthusiastic and excited about working because they are part of the solution. Most of us enjoy being both challenged and appreciated.

Here are some things to consider: • Share with your staff the new “customer experience” approach and ask for their feedback and suggestions. Create buy-in by allowing everyone’s opinions to be heard. Maintain a high level of enthusiasm for their responses. A lackadaisical, complacent attitude does not lead anyone. Get excited and show your support of their efforts.

• Brainstorm what customer experience means to your various customer segments (this will vary from one type of customer to another) and then as a group decide how you will help those customers get there.

• Encourage healthy risks.

Throw out the old mindset of the “right way” and open the gates to new ways of approaching tasks. Allow your employees wide latitude in helping your customers.

• Allow for mistakes. Without trials there are no successes.

When an employee fails at a creative approach – the greatest way to kill any future attempts is to punish the failure. Debrief what went wrong and then move on.

• Recognize the successes of your employees. Recognition is economy-proof. Whether in recession or boom, successful companies treat their people right and believe that recognition is one of the ways to getting where they need to go.

This can be as simple as a verbal thank you or a mention of the good work in a staff meeting.

• Celebrate as a team the successes of your customers’ positive experiences.

Positive customer experience works. We can all learn from Mr. Kimmel’s management philosophy and practices.

READERS’ OPEN FORUM Looking for lost necklace I don’t know if this is something you would typically publish, but, I thought I would throw it out there in hopes of finding my sentimental cross necklace.

On the weekend of Aug. 18, I went camping with my girlfriend at Trask River campground, and the cross I wear every day was lost. I had not taken it off since the day I got it because my twin sister was wearing it when she passed. I have the deepest hope in my heart that it will be found and returned. If found, call 503799-9333.

Child makes a difference with lemonade stand On behalf of all volunteers and the cats and dogs we serve, I should like to publicly thank 10-year-old Skylar Dalusio for her initiative in setting up a lemonade and blueberry pie stand over the summer to collect funds for United Paws of Tillamook.

“I hope this will help the local unwanted/feral animals in this county,” wrote Skylar in her letter enclosing a generous check from the proceeds of her business enterprise.

Skylar donated every cent she made, and for that we are both humbled and extremely grateful. Skylar went on to tell us that she and her brother adopted two kittens from us last year and “they are doing very well.”

We enjoy receiving followups on our adoptions! Lastly Skylar exhorts us to “keep up the good work,” which we certainly shall. Efforts like Skylar’s keep us going when the outlook seems bleak and spur us on to do better. Thank you again, Skylar!

Silencing sirens an ageist idea So, it says here in my Oregonian that down in milk country, the youngsters want to kill off the old folks.

That’s the only way the idea of dumping tsunami-warning sirens can be taken, as a measure to insure the survival of the youngsters who are slaves to their cell-phones and computers, and insure deaths among the older folks who rely on the sirens as a time-tested and proven warning technology.

Since the youths who came up with the idiot idea of defunding the sirens will ignore the advantages of history, which tells us that the 100-yearold technology has saved mil-

lions of lives from all sorts of threats, including tsunamis, why don’t they just come right out and say they want to march us geezers off of cliffs?

Take it from a city-dweller, you’re supposed to have those country smarts down there, so use them and run these airhead kiddies back into the holes they came out of. Maybe a few less electric-car charging stations will pay for the sirens.

George Schneider, occasional visitor Gresham

What do ‘we the people’ think about sirens?

I am a Tillamook County citizen and as a citizen of this wonderful county, I am very concerned how the Tillamook County Commissioners have decided totally on their own to dismantle the tsunami sirens.

No public meeting, no public input.

Do they know more than the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center or all the other countries on the West Coast? If you are as concerned as I am, please call all of the County Commissioners and let them know how you feel about this. Remind them that they were elected by we the people.

Hope for alternatives to fossil fuels Have you noticed those TV ads that tell us that coal is clean and that we have enough natural gas to last for “generations?” In fact coal is far from clean and natural gas, for all its relative cleanness, is still a fossil fuel whose continued use will melt Greenland’s and Antarctica’s glaciers, raise the sea level and drown most of Florida, the east coast, Bangladesh and Tillamook.

It is no secret where the confusion about global warming is coming from. Yes, it is the nature of scientific inquiry to be skeptical, but the skepticism about global warming is almost exclusively found in the popular media, not in the scientific literature.

Fossil fuel industries are funding a campaign to discredit the findings of climate scientists by using tactics that are almost identical to those used by the tobacco industry when they sought to deny connections between smoking and lung cancer. It is an uphill fight trying to argue your case when the other side has all the money.

Now, however, there are signs on the horizon that give us hope regardless of the clever ads about clean coal and abundant supplies of domestic natural gas.

Renewable energy is not

only up to the task of replacing fossil fuels, it will probably outcompete them in the market place.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has released a report that shows how renewable energy sources would be capable of producing 129 times the electricity we actually use.

Solar energy alone could produce more than 100 times the electricity we use.

Another encouraging report comes from the Center of Integrated Nanomechanical Systems, COINS. Solar cells are presently made from highly purified silicon wafers carefully cut from silicon ingots. The report from COINS points the way toward low cost, high efficiency solar cells made from “virtually any semiconductor material.”

It may take a few years, but indications are that photovoltaic collectors will produce electricity far more cheaply than burning coal or natural gas.

Structure for grade schools ‘ridiculous’ I can no longer remain silent about our local schools.

(Superintendent) Randy Schild, wake up and admit you’ve been wrong for years.

The way our children are forced to be bussed long distances so each grade can be contained within one school is beyond ridiculous and a complete waste of taxpayers’ money.

This year, each school starts at a different time, further complicating this disaster. My cousin in first grade has to board the bus at 6:40 a.m. to be bussed all the way to South Prairie, despite living within less than a mile of East Elementary. Any school measure put before voters will receive a “no” vote from me.

This is extreme wastefulness, and I will not support such foolishness.

Stand up people of Tillamook, and force Randy Schild to put children in the school closest to them. This complete craziness must be stopped.

Pot holder thief, return what you stole Will the admirer of my family crocheted basket pot holder heirloom, that was on display at the Tillamook County Fair, who’s disappearance is no longer a mystery due to a witness, please return it to Kathleen Ferguson: 38385 Tohl Ave. No. 116, Nehalem, Ore. 97131. c/o Nehalem Bay House.

My family is heartbroken

that an artifact made by their great-great-grandmother is missing from the sets of potholders. No questions or actions will follow. As this was my first year of entering something into the fair, it makes it hard to want to enter anything for next year.

Voice your thoughts on Port lease The Port of Garibaldi is discussing with R Sanitary the possibility of leasing up to one acre of Port property to build a shop, office and truck yard.

The primary parcel under consideration is on the SW corner of American Way and S. 6th Street. This parcel is between the Port’s RV park and the rail line, and has excellent visibility from Hwy. 101.

There are endless potential alternative uses for this property that might better support the future growth and development of this important commercial and recreational harbor.

This proposed use is not an outright permitted use (the property is in a water dependent zone), and would require approval by the City of Garibaldi Planning Commission if the Port and R Sanitary reach a preliminary agreement.

This proposed use is also not likely to result in the creation of any new jobs. R Sanitary is an existing local business. It is likely that alternative sites could be found within their market area.

This proposal raises many important questions regarding the best use of this publicly owned property (or any of the port property surrounding the harbor and marina).

The property owned by the Port of Garibaldi is in many ways the heart and soul of the Garibaldi community, and is, in many ways, also the heart and soul of Tillamook Bay. The Port of Garibaldi will be considering this proposal at their regular meeting at 7 p.m. on Sept. 12 at the Port office. If an agreement is reached, an application for a conditional use permit will likely be considered by the City of Garibaldi planning commission this fall.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding the potential long-term lease of prime, publically owned harbor side property for the storage and servicing of garbage trucks, take the time to voice your concerns or ask your questions.

You can call the Port at 503322-3292 for more information.

Meeting details and additional information can be found at portofgaribaldi.org.

Buck thanked for representing Tillamook County at State Fair

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

The Tillamook Board of County Commissioners heard a report about the Oregon State Fair last week from long-time volunteer and fair supporter Dale Buck.

Buck, who is 80 this year, and his wife, Jackie, have been manning the Tillamook County booth at the Oregon State Fair for 12 years.

But ‘manning the booth’ doesn’t begin to cover the scope of work that the Bucks do for Tillamook County. They organize volunteers, and collect the displays that represent Tillamook County from cities in the county, Chambers of Commerce, the Department of Forestry and more. They pick up the Tillamook Cheese donated by TCCA and cut it into thousands of bitesized cubes and spear them with toothpicks. They do the shopping for the supplies needed to operate the booth. They transport everything to the fair, set it all up, man the booth with the help of volunteers including the Tillamook County Commissioners and talk to fairgoers about Tillamook County. And when the fair is over they tear it all down, pack it up and take it all home again. It’s a big annual job, and the Bucks do it for free.

Tillamook County is the longest continuous exhibitor in the county exhibits at the State Fair. “I started going to the fair when I was five years old,” said Buck.

“The State Fair is important to me because it’s agriculture.”

“Every year the Bucks take this on as a labor of love for the citizens of Tillamook County,” said Commissioner Mark Labhart. “If it wasn’t for Dale and Jackie and their efforts, we wouldn’t have this.

On behalf of Tillamook County I want to give a huge thank-you for the work that you do.”

Commissioner Josi thanked the Bucks as well. “You do a lot of things for Tillamook County and we appreciate your service.”

Commissioner Hurliman worked the Tillamook County booth at the fair and he reported, “We had a mass of folks coming through, stopping by, eating cheese. It was continual.”

Dale and Jackie Buck.

Dale Buck accepted their thanks, and described why he loves representing Tillamook at the State Fair. “I was milking cows for my dad when I was five years old, sitting on a stool. Agriculture is what I think and what I like; it’s who I am and how I live.”

Buell leaves FACT board The commissioners heard from the Fishermen’s Advisory Committee of Tillamook County (FACT), which was formed in 2007 to advise the commissioners on the issues of local fishermen including commercial, sport/recreational and charter fishing, based upon the need for the fishermen to have a voice to protect their interests.

It was time for FACT board appointments and reappointments. Notably, Linda Buell is not accepting reappointment to her position as FACT co-chair, representing sport/recreation fishing. Jim Hallway is the new FACT co-chair, replacing Buell; Craig Wenrick will remain in his position as co-chair representing commercial fishing.

Tim Josi thanked Buell for her service.

“I want to thank Linda for her six years of work. The commissioners set up FACT to advise the county, and just in the nick of time. Who’d have guessed that it would have been as seamless and valuable as it has been?”

Chuck Hurliman echoed the sentiment.

“We are very appreciative of the expertise and the guidance of people in the industry.”

Josi addressed Buell and Hallway in his capacity as the Territorial Sea Plan advisory committee chairperson, on the Territorial Sea Plan amendment process.

“Our task is to amend the Territorial Sea Plan and add a new part for wind/wave energy,” Josi described. “This all started with the desire to exploit three miles of ocean for wind/wave energy.

“We’re developing wind/wave energy standards, that is, standards for viewsheds, recreation, fisherman, ecological interests, energy interests, and we’re looking at some sort of cap, a number of sites, something that we all can live with.

“But fishermen’s standards are difficult because fish swim, crabs move, and how do you develop a standard that represents a value for an asset that moves?”

Josi told the FACT representatives “the Governor is putting a lot of pressure on us to get this thing wrapped up. We should be done by January, and I need your help to do this. I want to meet with the fishing sub-committee to flesh things out. I want you there to actively participate, representing local fishing interests.”

To John Hallway Josi said, “I know your expertise and I know that you will step in and do a good job.”

Cloverdale cleanup Finally, and on another subject, Commissioner Mark Labhart complimented Tillamook County’s new Solid Waste Coordinator, David McCall, on a solid waste cleanup accomplished recently in Cloverdale. “Thank you for working collaboratively with the property owner. I’ve heard from a number of citizens that you did a good job with this and we appreciate your work. Keep up the good job.”

NOVEMBER ELECTIONS

Chamber endorses Measure 84 to end ‘death tax’ PACIFIC CITY – The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce Board voted to endorse Measure 84 to end the Oregon Death Tax at its August 2012 business meeting. They join over 45 organizations, hundreds of businesses, and over 132,000 petition signers that support eliminating the Oregon Death Tax. As Doug Olson, Board member, states in the Chamber’s endorsement letter, “We believe Measure 84 is good public policy. It encourages family businesses to remain within a family, it reduces the need to sell or liquidate a closely held business upon the death of an owner, and it encourages businesses to plan for the long term.

Moreover, it places the burden of taxation on wages, salaries, current investments

and profitable business operation, not on the inevitable act of death.”

The Chamber, which is comprised of nearly 140 businesses and individuals, was formed in January 2003 by merging the Pacific CityWoods Chamber, which had been in existence since the 1950s, and the Nestucca Valley Chamber, which had been in existence since the 1980s.

The members of the Chamber include dairy farmers in Tillamook County -– the premier dairy farm region in Oregon –- that are second and third generation family farms.

The Chamber is working with the Coalition to End the Oregon Death Tax, and looks forward to working with the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, and all members of the Coalition

The Elmore celebrates a century

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

R

OCKAWAY BEACH – The banner across the front of the building shouts “The Elmore is 100!”

“The Elmore” is the Elmore Park Apartments, on the south end of Rockaway Beach’s downtown, originally the Elmore Park Hotel. Built in 1912 — just a year after the railroad was completed from Portland to the Coast — the Elmore Park Hotel was the first of the “excursion hotels” catering to vacationers bound for the newlyaccessible oceanfront.

It’s also the last one standing – and that was cause for celebration last Friday afternoon, Sept. 7.

“Our manager thought we should have a birthday party,” Gene Hesler said, “for our tenants and people who had something to do with the building.” Hesler, with partner Clif Burns, owns the Elmore.

“We’ve run it for 22 years,” Hesler said.

The unprepossessing Elmore, sandwiched between a couple of other commercial enterprises on Highway 101, is a huge building, stretching more than a block back from the road. It was the centerpiece of the Elmore Park Company, a real estate venture started by two sea captains, Paul Schrader and John Groat, with the apparent intention of capitalizing on the real estate boom expected to follow completion of the railroad. Groat worked for the Corps of Engineers; Schrader made the often-dangerous Tillamook-to-Astoria ocean shipping run for over 20 years. Their Elmore Park Company, the hotel, and the subdivision where they sold lots for “$150 and up” were all named after Schrader’s ship, the Sue H. Elmore.

A perennial feature of the early days were the “Daddy trains,” that brought work-

ing fathers to the coast on Fridays and took them back to Portland on Sundays, while their families stayed at the coast. The tracks ran right in front of the hotel, Hesler said. “I think the road was behind the building.”

Originally, the hotel was one story tall; after a storm in 1914, the building was jacked up and a second story added underneath.

The Elmore stayed in business as a hotel until 1954, then became an old folks’ home; it was remodeled into 12 apartments in 1979, with first a gift and hobby shop, then a pizza parlor on the ground floor.

“The building sat vacant for a year before we took over,” Hesler said. Electricity had been turned off. “We went through the building with flashlights,” Burns said.

“They had mattresses stored there.” The front commercial space is currently an art gallery and studio. There are still 12 apartments.

Attendees at Friday’s celebration were treated to fish, barbecue, and—of course— birthday cake. Invitations went out from Newport to Astoria, Burns said. “We’ve made a lot of good friends over the years and a lot of them are here.”

City vetoes one electric car charging station, allows another TILLAMOOK – There will be only one electric car charging station in the City parking lot at Second and Ivy (across the street from the Headlight Herald office), the Tillamook City Council decided Sept. 4. EV4, which already has a building permit for their solar-powered charging station, will take up three parking spaces in the lot with their charging station.

AeroVironment (AV), also seeking a location in Tillamook, was seeking five spaces. “They don’t have solar,” city manager Paul Wyntergreen told the Council. They needed the additional (two) parking spaces to allow for a padmounted transformer to draw power from the local electric grid.

The City Council unanimously said no.

“I have a hard time giving up five more spaces,” Councilor Matt Harris said. “I’d be in favor if they’d put it in the new lot,” he said, referring to the recently completed parking lot at First and Ivy built and paid for by Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency (TURA) funds.

The TURA lot was looked at as a possible site, Wyntergreen said, but Urban Renewal wasn’t interested. Harris asked whether AV had a “third option.”

“There are no other publicly-owned lots in the downtown area,” Wyntergreen advised.

The City Council agreed—reluctantly—to spending $2,400 as 50 percent of the cost of prioritizing projects for improving Holden Creek.

(The other $2,400 would come from the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, which provided the $3,000 grant that paid for the recently completed “technical memorandum” by the engineering firm Parametrix.)

Holden Creek runs through the City of Tillamook from its confluence with the Trask River on the west to its origin in the forested Coast Range foothills east of the city. It has chronic flooding problems, poor water quality, and limited fish habitat. The Parametrix study itemized numerous places and actions that could be taken to improve the creek, Wyntergreen said, but what the Parametrix memorandum did not do was prioritize.

“I think we’ve got enough people who are knowledgeable enough to do the prioritizing ourselves,” councilor Doug Henson suggested. “We have been talking this to death and not doing anything.”

Councilor John Sandusky suggested that having a professionally done prioritization would be important for obtaining grant funds later to do the work. “If we’re going to have to find fund-

ing, this kind of research will make it more fundable,” he said. “I’ll vote to support it,” Henson said, “but to date nothing has been done that actually improves Holden Creek.”

The Council also agreed to schedule public hearings on a proposed re-designation of part of downtown’s one-way grid. As proposed, Second Street would become one-way westbound for three blocks west of Main Street (to just past the parking lot in back of the library), and Ivy would become two-way. The reconfiguration will provide more parking and greater access to parking lots, Wyntergreen told the Council. He suggested a continuous one-way on Second and 2-way on Ivy would be “more intuitive for tourists and may increase business.”

“What you’re saying is something we approved five or six years ago,” Henson said.

“Keep in mind you will get resistance.” The City Council’s hearing on the proposed changes will take place Monday, Sept. 17, at the regular City

Council meeting.

The Council also scheduled a hearing on a proposed truck route ordinance; that will take place at the regular City Council meeting Oct. 1.

In other business, the Tillamook City Council: • Approved a request by residents of Champion Park Apartments for a sheltered bus stop.

The location has one of the highest boarding and de-boarding counts in the whole Transportation District, the TCTD manager advised the Council in a letter. The District will provide the shelter.

• Received a report from County Public Works Director Liane Welch on the progress of the Third Street Project, where paving is expected to take place the week of Sept. 19-26.

• Announced a Property Improvement and Beautification Award to Fernando Garcia, 605 Cedar Ave., for outstanding landscaping. Diego will receive a credit toward his water and sewer bill, along with a certificate.

Parents express bussing concerns County gets last

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

The Tillamook School Board held its regular monthly meeting Monday night, Sept. 10.

The board heard parent concerns about the new bussing schedule; a Tillamook family with three children in different schools said that all of their students are not being picked up and dropped off. Superintendent Randy Schild assured the family that this is a mistake, and it will be rectified.

He thanked them for coming in and bringing the problem to the board’s attention. Schild said “in the first week of school bussing is our first question and concern,” and that the district is getting the glitches worked out of the transportation schedule.

He invited parents with bussing concerns to contact him directly.

Another parent in the audience made the request that the board alter the word-

ing of the district mission statement to include a reference to families, i.e.; “in partnership with the community…” would be amended to “in partnership with families and the community.”

In his Superintendent’s Report, Schild reported that kindergarten numbers are down this year, but the result is positive: “what it has done is create smaller kindergarten class sizes of 21, 22 and 23 kids, which is so much better than 27 and 28 like last year.”

This is the first year that Tillamook kindergarten classes have moved to a full-day schedule.

Board member Troy Downing was back in his seat after a serious accident in early August in which he suffered a spinal injury and was hospitalized for some time.

The board meets every second Monday of the year, with the exception of November 2012, when they will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 13. Historically, the board

has met at 6:30 p.m. Beginning in October, however, the board meeting times will change: the new start time is 5:30 p.m. The 5:30 start time will continue through the 2012/2013 school year.

County-wide enrollment numbers All three districts caution that enrollment numbers are not finalized, as students in Tillamook County tend to be mobile, and registration for new students often continues through September.

The Tillamook district has 1,972 students enrolled, down nine students from the last two years. (There were 1,981 students in 2011 and 2010).

Neah-Kah-Nie School District has 735 students to begin the 2012 school year, down eight students from 743 this time in 2011.

The Nestucca Valley School District, the smallest in the county, reports that enrollment is holding steady at approximately 545.

City redoing Comprehensive Plan A public hearing will be held Sept. 17 at the Tillamook City Council meeting to consider the newly amended Comprehensive Plan.

“The Tillamook Planning Commission has gone through the Comprehensive Plan with a fine tooth comb and updated it…to ensure that the city council is responsive to new needs

ROADS:

and trends,” said Tillamook City Planner Dave Mattison.

The new Comprehensive Plan is meant to be easier to understand and to process than the 1972 document the planning commission was working with, although the document has grown by 100 pages in the amendment process. The old plan was

On Sept. 6, the Tillamook Planning Commission directed the City Planner to send a letter to the Rodeo Steakhouse giving them 10 days to respond to filing their variance request to the City or face a civil citation for its sign.

The painted sign is 470 square feet, far exceeding the city code, allowing for up to 120 square feet. Part-owner Omar Viramontes did not respond to a request for comment by deadline.

“One of the major responses to past attempts to fund our roads is that ‘we’ are not the only ones using our roads and we should look for resources from other sources who may also use our roads,” reads a statement from Carnahan.

“We have more questions than we have answers at this point, however we do know that we need to do something very soon to address our road issues.”

An executive committee of a much larger community committee will open this discussion to the community through three public forums that will be held in north, central and south county after the first of the year.

Options and solutions will be discussed and open for public comments

TBCC:

38 pages and the amended version is 133 pages.

Mattison said the amended plan is better organized, with only minor shifts to bring it up to date.

The Tillamook Planning Commission began the task of reviewing the plan in 2004. The current Comprehensive Plan has been in place for 40 years.

Rodeo must address sign

before any final decisions are made.

The executive committee will consist of Jon Carnahan, Doug Rosenberg and Don Averill from central county, Garry Bullard and Shirley Kalkoven from north county, and Bill Goodman and Doug Olson from south county. Commissioner Mark Labhart and Liane Welch, the Director of Tillamook County Public Works, will also serve on the committee.

The Tillamook County Road Advisory Committee will also serve in an advisory role to the committee.

“We continue to be faced with how to financially repair and maintain our roads,” Carnahan wrote. “Over the years there has been plenty of discussion about how to pay for the county road system

and support a road department whose mission is to maintain the capacity and condition of the roads so that the traveling public’s risks are managed and costs of road services minimized.

“Funding from federal forest harvests have been a longtime source of funds to support the county roads and road department and that funding is now ending. In the 1980s, the county had adequate funding, employed over 50 people in the road department and had its own rock pit and asphalt plant. Today staffing levels are below 20 and decreasing. We simply do not have enough resources to maintain the road department and keep our roads in good repair.”

“You folks get it first.

Right now, it’s just boards and sheetrock,” he said. “We hope to animate this.”

“It’s not just for our students, but for all of us,” Hedrick added.

TBCC South has three classrooms – a “technology room” outfitted with 24 computers (plus one for the teacher), a smaller classroom/conference room (where the refreshments were served for the open house), and a larger multi-purpose classroom dubbed the Noble Room.

of ‘Secure Rural Schools’ funds

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

In 2012, Tillamook County is scheduled to receive a grand total of $1,176,407 in “Secure Rural Schools” money from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, the Federal government’s — and the county’s — two largest landowners. The money comes as a result of Congressional reauthorization for just one year of the “Secure Rural Schools” program, which happened July 6.

The county will get $236,428 from the BLM, 95% of what the county received last year. Southern Tillamook County includes part of the Siuslaw National Forest. From the Forest Service for that region, the county will get $860,805.64 in “Title I” funds, and another $151,906.88 in “Title II” funds. Both those amounts are less than the county received in 2011.

The “Title II” funds have to be spent in the national forest itself, Tillamook County’s Paul Levesque told the Headlight Herald. Historically, the county has used the “Title II” money to help fund Sheriff’s Office search and rescue efforts, and vegetation management along county roads in the national forest, he said. “Counties used to have a broader scope,” he said.

The 2012 reauthorization— good for one year only, and passed by Congress only after long delays—will be the last, county commissioner Tim Josi told the Headlight Herald.

COW:

“There won’t be another check.”

The now-defunct “Secure Rural Schools” program was the second attempt since the late 1980s to replace monies counties used to receive as a share of timber sales on Federally-owned land. “They try to make it sound like a welfare program,” Josi said. “It’s not.

It’s payments in lieu of taxes.”

Unlike taxes, though, the “Secure Rural Schools” money counties received declined every year.

The $939,979 Tillamook County is scheduled to get in 2012 is less than half the $2,547,533 the county got as recently as 2008. “We still have to service the people and transportation,” Josi said. “The problem is that we in rural Oregon aren’t a majority.”

“We’re not going to quit asking Congress to do the responsible thing and put forests back to work in a responsible manner,” Josi said.

“The status quo has become intolerable,” commissioners advised in a July 13 letter to the Congressional delegation.

The loss of federal forest funds leaves a big hole in the county’s road maintenance budget, which is completely dependent on state gas taxes and Federal forest funds. “All other counties have a separate mechanism in place,” Josi said.

“We don’t. We will eventually have to go back to the voters.”

The 2012 “Secure Rural Schools” money will help with some paving, Josi conceded.

“It just doesn’t pay for much.”

The cows were the brainchild of members of the 2008 Ford Institute Leadership Program. The institute encourages local leaders to learn leadership and team-building skills. It charges the graduates with using what they have learned to implement a community project, and gives the team a matching grant of up to $5,000 to execute a project.

The group decided to create the so-called “personality cows” to represent cultural aspects of Tillamook County and its three geographic regions.

The south Tillamook County cow is depicted reading a book, in celebration of south county youth. Nestucca Valley art students painted the scenes on the cow.

It won’t have far to travel.

The Cedar Creek Childcare Center, which shares a driveway with the new fire station, has spoken up for the cow sculpture. It will be moved from the driveway entrance to the childcare center property, according to Kim Cavatorta, who was a member of the leadership team that envisioned and placed the cows.

Cavatorta said she is pleased that the cow will stay with the Childcare Center, because it was created with Hebo children in mind. She is also relieved that it won’t have to be transported very far.

“We don’t know exactly how the sculpture will be

moved,” said Cavatorta, “but finding a home for it was the first big step.”

The Hebo cow is the second of the three to be displaced.

The north county cow made several stops including NeahKah-Nie High School, the Rockaway Beach wayside and the Tillamook Cow internet radio station on Officer’s Row before it came to its final resting place at the historic White Clover Grange in Mohler, where it blends in perfectly with the local scenery.

The Tillamook cow doubles as a bench. It sits in front of the Tillamook County Transportation District’s bus station at Second and Laurel, and portrays the Tillamook Air Museum blimp hangar and the Tillamook County Fair’s Pig ‘N’ Ford races.

Families with children are often seen resting on the cow bench, which seems perfectly at home in its central county location.

SPORTS Bobcats hammer Irish, 42-12

SPORTS EDITOR JOSIAH DARR •••••

HEADLIGHT HERALD • SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

BY MARY FAITH BELL

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Nestucca football team had some high hopes when they opened their season on Sept. 8 against the Waldport Irish. They have a very experienced team full of seniors, a big strong line and some very talented skill players making them seem like a team built for success. But until the game is played it’s all simply speculation.

Any questions were answered when Zack Welch and Sam Whiteman chewed up 55 yards on three rushing plays the ball to score a touchdown and get the Bobcats off to an explosive start.

If that wasn’t enough, the speed in which the Bobcat defense engulfed the Irish running backs early in the game should prove this Bobcat team is ready to play.

The Irish got a little something going throwing the ball against the Bobcats and were moving the ball through the first half until Ronnie Moffett picked off a pass from the Irish quarterback and the Bobcat offense got right back on the field.

Quarterback Max Kirkendall took the liberty of keeping it himself for the Bobcats second touchdown of the game when he scampered 4-yards to give the ‘Cats a 13-0 lead early in the first quarter. Before long, the game went from a close battle to a lopsided blowout, with the Bobcat line blowing the Irish linemen backwards on both sides of the ball.

Another big part of the offense rolling so well for the ‘Cats was the blocking by their running backs.

“Our blocking was outstanding,” said Bobcat Head Coach Jeff Schiewe. “Our backs did a great job of picking up linebackers and holding their blocks. On one play, Moeller and Whiteman each blocked two guys at the same time.”

If it wasn’t great blocking in the first half from the Bobcats, it was good defense, including some goal line stands.

“On one Waldport drive, where they had four downs and about a minute before halftime, their quarterback rolled and gets to the 2-yard line before Moffett comes from the backside corner position to tackle him,” Schiewe said with excitement. “Then they tried two plays up the middle, but Rich Roberts and Drace Moeller secured their gaps and held Waldport for no score.

“I love goal line stands.

Those can define how tough your team is. That is where your back is against the wall.

You got nothing to lose, so fire low and fire forward and good WE TAKE

The Bobcats continued their onslaught and took a 35-0 lead into halftime.

In the second half Nestucca got a few younger guys into the game, but kept right on rolling, and getting the win.

“I think you will have to defend our entire team,” Schiewe said. “You can’t focus on one guy. I am really proud of how these kids came out and attacked. This win was all about team.”

The Bobcats will try to keep rolling when they travel to Corbett for a 7 p.m. game on Sept. 14.

The Tillamook Anglers held the 21st annual Fishing Day for Kids with Special Needs at the Whiskey Creek fish hatchery in Netarts on Saturday. Every child who came caught fish and left smiling, stuffed to the gills with free burgers and ice cream and soda, carrying their rainbow trout home in plastic bags.

The children’s excitement and happiness were contagious as the fish took the bait and their pole tips bent toward the water where 1200 hungry trout were waiting. There were “...I had the shrieks and laughter idea to get and shouts of joy as special needs volunteers from kids out here Tillamook Anglers and give them helped the young fish- an opportuniermen reel ty to catch in their catches and fish” – Jerry removed hooks from Dove, Tillamook the fishes’ mouths.

Anglers President Each child was paired with his or her own volunteer, and everyone who wanted to got the chance to catch a couple of fish, many of them small to medium sized, but there were at least a few enormous trout in the hatchery pens; if this were an Easter egg hunt, these monster trout were the equivalent of finding the golden egg.

Event organizer Jerry Dove of the Tillamook Anglers said that they had food enough for 500 people, and indeed, the place was packed. There were families and organizations from several western Oregon counties represented, including busses and vans bearing groups of kids and their parents.

Dozens of volunteers worked the event as personal fishing assistants, ice cream scoopers, cooks, parking attendants and photographers. There were raffles and prizes and fun for everyone.

The event was dreamt up, literally, by Dove 21 years ago, when at season’s end, the hatchery had 1200 juvenile salmon they couldn’t keep over winter.

Lady Cheesemakers play well at Cascade Tournament, still eyeing Cowapa League title

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

On Sept. 8, Tillamook Lady Cheesemakers volleyball team took their show on the road to play in the Cascade Tournament in Turner, Ore. 16 teams were entered in the tournament and the Lady Cheesemakers had a great showing, only losing one game in the pool-play part of the tournament to Philomath. But between the poolplay and the seeded part of the tournament, the Cheesemakers beat Junction City, Madras, Taft, Salem Academy, and Cascade to take first place in the consolation half of the bracket.

“Against Philomath we had a lot of unforced errors which isn’t very characteristic for this team,” said THS Volleyball Coach Kim Seidel. “Other than that, I felt very good about how my team played.”

Not that Tillamook needs an excuse for losing one game in a tournament, but if they were looking for one, it’d be easy to find.

Tillamook senior starter

Marissa Zerngast twisted her ankle in practice and was unable to play in any of the games.

“We just want Marissa to rest and get back when she's ready,” Seidel said. “It will probably be by the time we get into league play.”

With a few games under their belt, the Lady Cheesemakers look good with a 4-0 record in official OSAA games and Coach Seidel attributed a lot of that to her team’s work ethic and their desire to play hard and achieve their goal of winning the Cowapa League.

“It’s a big deal to have six seniors who are confident in themselves and are willing and ready to put in the work needed to win,” Seidel said. “One thing this group does so well is instead of conditioning as part of practice, we condition while we do our drills. Drills like “sprint and serve” make us physically stronger and it makes us have to perform well when we’re exhausted.

“I think that’s why our serv-

ing is so much better this season. We’re aiming better and we’re serving to their weakest link because we work so hard on it in practice.”

The girls have done well so far, but they haven’t faced Cowapa League competition and Seidel knows that’s where things are going to get tough.

“I honestly don’t feel like we’ve faced anyone who has actually pushed us yet,” Seidel explained. “I’m looking forward to league play and the teams who can really give us a run for our money.

“Our goal is to win league and a few of the other coaches have mentioned that we’re the team to beat. We’re going in the right direction, but we still have plenty of room for improvement.”

The Lady Cheesemakers will be tested again when they head to Taft for a 6:30 game on Sept. 17. It’s their last nonleague game of the year before they start Cowapa League play at home against Scappoose on Sept. 20.

Pirate volleyball has talent, lacks mental toughness Headlight Herald Sports

The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates volleyball team hosted a plethora of teams in their Invitational Tournament on Sept. 8 and finished up with two wins and three losses, which isn’t too bad for a young team.

Pirate Head Coach Jacque Vandecoevering was glad to see her girls come out and play well in a few of the games, getting the wins against Delphian 25-19 and Jewel 25-10 in the poolplay. What she was concerned about was her team’s lack of effort in the games they lost.

“Our talent level is good enough to make the playoffs and be a very good team this season,” Vandecoevering said.

“Our skill level is there, but our mental toughness isn’t. If this team wants to win games they’re going to have to make the conscious choice to do it.”

After beating Delphian and Jewel, The Lady Pirates lost to Regis 25-18 and Ilwaco 25-22.

What really burned up Coach

SUBMITTED PHOTO

When the Lady Pirates play hard, they’re a tough team to beat.

Vandecoevering was their effort in those games.

“The girls quit playing hard against Ilwaco,” Vandecoevering fumed.

The Pirates had to play Delphian in the first round of the seeded tournament after the pool-play and lost 25-16 and

25-8 to end their tournament.

“There was nothing I could do,” Vandecoevering explained.

“The girls know what they need to do to win and they simply didn’t want to do it.

“I’ve never had to deal with a team where everyone wasn’t committed to compete. We’re going to need the whole team giving 100-percent all the time and not just a couple of the girls.”

Senior captain Rachael O’Quinn says her team is better than they played and thinks the Lady Pirates still have what it takes.

“There are some things we still need to work on but they’re little, fixable things,” O'Quinn said. “Once we get those things figured out, we will come together as a team and play better than we are.”

The Pirates have a chance to come back strong when they play at Gaston at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 13 and at 5:30 on Sept.

18 at Nestucca.

Mistakes hurt Pirates against Reedsport Headlight Herald Sports

The Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates were in for a battle when they took on the Reedsport Braves in Rockaway Beach on Sept. 7.

The Pirates played well and were clicking on all cylinders when they beat Riddle the week before, but the Pirate’s motor was sputtering against the Braves.

“We shot ourselves in the foot over and over with poorly timed penalties,” said NKN Head Coach Scott Ross. “It seemed like we’d get a long run and there’d be a holding call or we’d run back a kickoff and there’d be a clip. Between that and turning the ball over six times, we really killed our own offense.”

While the offense wasn’t playing up to its potential, the Pirate defense kept the score tied until the end of the first half.

“We really gave up a few

unfortunate touchdowns in the game we shouldn’t have,” Ross said.

One of those came with five seconds left in the first half when a Braves receiver got behind the Pirate secondary and scored on a 33-yard touchdown reception to give the Braves a 7-0 lead at half.

The Brave’s second score came in the second half after a punt block gave them excellent field position at the Pirate 20yard line.

The Pirates did manage 116 yards rushing in the game, but it took them 29 carries to get those yards and they didn’t have a single passing yard.

“They played well and we

came out flat,” Ross said. “It was just one of those nights.

There were a couple things here and there that we didn’t do right and they made all the difference.

“You just can’t make that many mistakes and win.”

The Pirates will have a week to think about what they did right and wrong against Reedsport before they line up against St Mary's in Medford at 1 p.m. on Sept. 15.

“They're a 3A school from a big city and they’re going to be a challenge,” Ross said. “We’re going to have to be ready to play as soon as we step on the field.”

‘Mook boys soccer start’s 0-2, but shows bright spots find the back of the net in the second half and lost the game, 3-1.

“This is a young team, but our goal has been to win the league and make the playoffs and this loss doesn't hurt those goals,” Reynolds explained. “We are still very capable of doing that.”

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook boy’s soccer team opened their season on Sept. 6 when they hosted the North Marion Huskies.

The Cheesemakers are admittedly young this season, but Cheesemaker Head Coach Brian Reynolds is happy with his youth and knows there will be some growing pains this season. Unfortunately, Reynolds didn't account for actual pains before the game against the Huskies.

The Huskies are a very fast team with a good defense which turned into an early goal and a 1-0 Husky lead in the first half.

Fortunately for Tillamook, they are equally talented and they struck back when Hector Valencia put a beautiful touch on a long pass and left the keeper helpless. Valencia’s goal gave the momentum to Tillamook going into halftime, but in the second half, everything came unraveled for the ‘Mooks.

“We were right there with them until we had four starters come out of the game at the same time with cramps,” Reynolds said.

“That all took place within a few minutes and that's when they took the lead.”

The Huskies took advantage of the Tillamook substitutions and scored the gohead goal to lead, 2-1.

“Once we got late in the game and we were struggling for offense, I pulled a defender and moved him up front.

That's when they scored their third goal.”

Tillamook was unable to

Tillamook @ La Salle On Sept. 10 the boys traveled to the home of a very good La Salle Eagles team in hopes of getting in the win column.

The Eagles came out fast, scoring three goals in the first half, but the ‘Mooks didn’t fold.

“They could have caved

in and quit, but they didn’t,” Reynolds said.

Instead, the ‘Mooks played La Salle to a 1-1 second half.

The Cheesemakers’ one goal was a beauty from Philippe Josi on a cross from Ryan Hammond that was originally set up by a good outlet from midfielder Hector Sandaval.

“La Salle was an excellent team and if the way we played the second half against them is any indication of how we’ll play in the future, it will bode well for our team,” Reynolds added.

Tillamook’s next game will be on the road at 6 p.m. on Sept. 12 at Newport.

Ultimook Race features over 900 kids and 44 schools

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The sun was shinning, the river was flowing and the mud was deep and sticky on Sept. 8 when the Ultimook Race got underway at Hydrangea Ranch along the banks of the Kilchis River. Over 900 middle and high school cross country runners from schools of all sizes descended on the flower farm owned by Tillamook Cross Country Coach Pat Zweifel to take part in the 5K race that quickly became one of the biggest and most original races in the state.

“I've had a vision of this

course since I bought the farm years ago,” Zweifel said. “Now that I'm the cross country coach it gave me the motivation in act on my vision.

“I had to plant the trees anyway, so I purposely planted the trees in certain places to design the course and it also gives my team a great place to train when we’re going to have hard workout days.”

Zweifel has been very outspoken about his desire to bring Tillamook’s cross country team back to the greatness it had when he was at THS winning state titles. His reputation and past success was a huge

factor in his hiring when the cross country coaching job became available.

“Pat’s reputation proceeded him as a runner here in Tillamook,” said THS Athletic Director Jerry Dorland. “He came into my office and said, ‘I’ve run for 20 years and it’s my life. I've worked hard on my farm for 20 years to make it successful and I’m gonna come back and make Tillamook County the running capital of Oregon in the next 20 years.’

Combining that with his farm and this event, he’s already starting doing it.”

The luxury of having the farm available and the ability to plant as needed to make room for the course made for the prefect venue for a race of this magnitude and Dorland was noticeably excited about the race and it’s attendance in it’s first year of existence.

“There’s no doubt in my mind, this is the biggest high school event that’s ever been in Tillamook County,” Dorland said. “The revenue from the event is going to go to the cross country program for new uniforms and running shoes. But even more importantly, a event like this gives exposure to cross country for our kids.

“Cross Country’s an amazing sport. You see people cheering for everyone from first to last and it really has a family feeling when you're a cross country runner.”

That family feeling was evident when Tillamook hosted over 200 kids from four different schools to come camp out

on the farm overnight and participate in a pizza feed, bonfire that evening and then breakfast before he race the next morning.

“We only charged the teams $50 a team to come camp and have a breakfast made up of cereal, bagels, eggs and hot chocolate,” Zweifel said. “We budgeted on about $2 per kid.”

Zweifel said between the cost for the pizza and breakfast and the other costs that occurred, the event didn't make as much money as it could have. The entry fees per team to attend was only $50 per middle school team and $100 for high school teams, which is on the low side, but Zweifel said this first event wasn't about making money. It was about getting people excited to come.

“If we kept the cost down in the first year, I knew we'd have a lot of teams participate,” Zweifel said. “Next year, the coaches will hear about how great the event was this season and there will be even more teams next year. My goal it to have over 100 teams next season.”

Even though the cost for each team to participate was down, the event still raised somewhere around $4,500 for the Tillamook Cross Country program that will go towards news uniforms and running shoes for the team as well as offsetting the cost of last summer’s camp and camps and entry fees for events in the future.

try Coach Brett Duer brought 14 of his runners to the event as opposed to taking them to the Trask Mountain race which is put on by his former High School, McMinnville, but he didn't regret that decision at all.

“This course is awesome,” Duer said. “I would say it’s up to par with the Trask Mountain race put on by McMinnville and it’s only in its first year. I don’t see many flaws at all.”

The races went off without a hitch and Zweifel attributed a lot of that to the outstanding parent support running the concessions and helping out wherever they’re needed.

“I want to extend a big thanks and let the parents know I really appreciate them,” Zweifel said. “They really stepped up and I'm looking forward to getting ideas and feed-

back from them as to how we can make the event even better next season.”

Besides just the new and exciting venue, there was still some stiff competition taking place.

Tillamook's boy’s team finished in fourth place behind South Eugene, Wilsonville and Astoria led by Aaron Josi who finished fourth and Paulo Valez, taking twelfth place. The Tillamook girl’s team finished out of the top ten with Sabrina Pullman taking 18th and Kestrel Bailey taking 44th.

Neah-Kah-Nie’s top boys were Logan Romig for the boys, taking 19th, and Annie Romig taking 30th for the girls.

The top Nestucca runner was Kyler Jones, finishing 148th.

even better.

There are many sponsors for the Fishing Day for Kids with Special Needs event. “Loren Parks is our biggest sponsor,” said Dove. “This year, he was concerned that folks might not come out because of the price of gas, so he even offered a $100 gas credit to busses that were bringing kids in. Senator Betsy Johnson donated $5000.

And we have lots of individual donations.”

Corporate sponsors of the event include Pepsi, Resers, Tillamook Sporting Goods, Fred Meyer, TLC Federal Credit Union, the Elks and

Tillamook Anglers.

Continued from Page A9 “I sat straight up in bed one night, my wife probably thought I was having a nightmare, but I had the idea to get special needs kids out here and give them the opportunity to catch a fish. I took it to the next Anglers meeting, and they agreed to try it.”

Not only is the event, now a local institution, popular with the young fishermen and girls who might never get a chance to fish otherwise, it is equally popular with the adults who participate. Catching a fish is an undeniable visceral thrill; but helping a child to catch a fish, and sharing their joy is

Cheesemakers can’t find offense against North Marion The Tillamook Cheesemakers were riding high after beating the Clatskanie Tigers in their season opener, but they were fighting a whole different animal when they took on the North Marion Huskies on Sept.

7 in Tillamook.

Unlike Tillamook's first game where the teams combined for 81 points, the game against the Huskies was a defensive battle.

“Defensively, we played tough,” said THS Head Coach Matt Dickson. “They were on the field a lot and we got some good play from first year football player Myron Moore at defensive end. Our linebacker group of seniors Ron Allen, Brock Lorenzo, and Jordan Thompson all played solid.

Sophomore Drew Owens got the start at outside linebacker and played well too.”

Allen in particular had a monster game, recording two interceptions with good run backs.

Offensively, the Cheesemakers played below their ability.

The North Marion defensive line and their constant barrage on the backfield was a big part of that.

“I looked at the tape and we had some confusion on the line,” Dickson said. “North Marion sent a lot of guys at us and we were not prepared to handle it. It rattled us and we were not able to find our rhythm.”

The game went into halftime scoreless, but turnovers by Tillamook gave the Huskies a short field and they managed to get in the end zone for a 6-0 lead by the end of the third.

The Huskies got another score in the fourth on a fouth down play from the 5-yard line to take a 13-0 lead. That turned out to be all they needed.

Tillamook lost fumbles two times in the first half and two more times in the second.

Strang also threw a pick late trying to force the ball into the end zone to seal the game for the Huskies.

“We have to improve our blocking from the linemen to the backs,” Dickson said of his offense. “We didn't get the job done and we're going to work on it this week.

“On defense, we need to make a few adjustments in the defensive secondary. Our defensive backs have to do their job first before they come up to help out the run.”

Tillamook only had 50 yards rushing and 37 yards passing in the game on offense and gave up 283 yards to the Husky offense.

“We focused on our defense because we were comfortable with our offense after the first game, but we're going to go back and reassess our job on both sides of the ball,” Dickson said.

Tillamook's next game will be on the road at Newport starting at 7 p.m. on Sept. 14.

The Nestucca Bobcats volleyball team has been playing some tough games this season, but found themselves on the wrong end of a tough loss in their first two games of the season.

To open their season, the Lady ‘Cats traveled to Waldport on Aug. 30 and gave the Irish all they could handle. The Irish looked in control out of the gate, winning the first two sets 15-25 and 14-25. But that’s when the Bobcats answered back. They didn't just roll over, they came fighting back winning the next two sets 25-18 and 25-23 before losing the fifth and deciding match, 15-11.

To make matters worse, the Bobcats traveled to Clatskanie on Sept. 4 still looking for their first win. They came out looking good, winning the first set 25-22, but then lost the next three sets in heartbreaking fashion, 25-16, 30-28 and 25-23.

The Lady ‘Cats’ hard work finally came through and they got their first win of the season when they traveled to Portland on Sept. 6 to take on the Riverdale Mavericks. The Bobcats were past due for the victory and came out winning the first two sets. They lost the third, but took the match with a 20-25 win in the final set.

The road won't get easier from here when the Bobcats travel to Delphian for a 6:30 game on Sept. 13 followed by their first home game of the season against Neah-Kah-Nie at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18.

FARM TO FORK

HEADLIGHT HERALD • SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

In the land of cheese, finally, a cracker FARMERS MARKET FINDS: Tillamook woman takes healthy snacking into her own hands

BY LEEANN NEAL For the Headlight Herald

T

ILLAMOOK – Two years ago, frustrated at the lack of tasty, healthy snacks available, Jan Skelton whipped up a batch of what would become More Than a Cracker’s inaugural blend.

Skelton’s criteria for the cracker were that it contain no unnecessary fats while tasting crunchy, nutty, savory and slightly sweet. To pull that off, she combined rosemary, dried fruits, nuts and seeds in what she would later christen her “Herb” flavor.

“My Herb Cracker is very popular in either wheat or gluten- and dairyfree vegan,” said Skelton. “The herb pairs so well with so many foods and meals.” She noted it particularly complements goat cheese, brie and white cheddar cheese, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and salads. “Every age seems to like the herb blend. Moms have told me it's the go-to cracker for their children before dinner. A couple of crackers while mom is making dinner seems to stave off the hunger.”

Later she produced a sweeter cracker called “Cocoa Coffee” featuring chocolate and hazelnuts, as well as “Spice,” which includes anise seeds and ginger.

“Our Cocoa Coffee cracker is doing quite well this year in both wheat and vegan,” said Skelton. “It's one of my favorites. I look forward to my morning coffee and a few Cocoa Coffee crackers.” The cracker also pairs well with Champagne, she added.

All Skelton’s crackers are high in omega 3s, 6s and 9s. They contain no fats from eggs, butter or oils.

She prepares her product in an Oregon Department of Agriculturecertified kitchen located along the Wilson River.

Skelton’s first sale was to the Tillamook Cheese Factory in March 2011. “We continue to grow in sales there,” she said. “They are my best customer, and have supported me from the very start.”

(Above) Jan Skelton’s More than a Cracker line can be purchased at the Tillamook Farmers Market. (Right) Trays of crackers wait to be packaged.

More Than a Cracker is a regular vendor at the Tillamook and Manzanita farmers markets. It is also available at other regional outlets, including the Great Northern Garlic Company in Manzanita, year-round. “I’ve recently taken on two new clients – Pat’s Pantry in Astoria and Kramer Vineyards in Gaston,” said Skelton. “Pat carries spices from around the world and also carries local small artisanmade foods like mine. Kramer Vineyards puts crackers in their baskets.

They also roast coffee, which makes for an exciting pairing with our Cocoa Coffee cracker.”

Rogue Creamery in Central Point recently contacted Skelton about carrying her crackers in its gift store, she said.

“I would like to continue to expand along the coast in specialty stores, and maybe a few small restaurants and bed and breakfast places,” said Skelton.

“Next on my list of wishes is to find a couple Portland locations to carry our crackers year-round. I'm doing a few food fairs this fall and winter.” Those include the Coffee Fair Nov. 3 and 4 at the World Forestry Center in Portland, the Chocolate Fest Jan. 18-20 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland and the Oregon Truffle Fair on Jan. 27 in Eugene.

More Than a Cracker’s presence at local farmers markets has contributed to online store purchases from vacationers from around the world, said Skelton. “They’ll buy crackers at the farmers markets on Friday and Satur-

day and by the following midweek, I’ll have orders online. I love this!

One lady who lives back east told me she was dreaming of my crackers in anticipation of coming to the west coast. I told her she could have them year-round - I have an online store.”

Skelton’s success caught the eye of Oregon State University’s Oregon Open Campus program. Staff asked her to be a guest speaker at one of the program’s Recipe to Market classes at Tillamook Bay Community

College. Since then, “I've done a couple of classes on how to start up a business with very little capital, my start-up experience and how to keep it fun,” she said.

As the summer winds down, Skelton is perfecting a new cracker blend.

“I’m calling it ‘Chili,’” she said. “It has several layers of chilies, cocoa and lime. You can really taste all the different chilies without it being hot. I’ve been giving out samples at the farmers markets and getting great feedback. A little tweak here and there and I’ll package it and introduce it.”

Skelton takes great satisfaction in knowing her product brightens her customers’ lives. “My crackers seem to make people very happy,” she said.

“The gluten- and dairy-free vegan crackers especially. My customers who don't share my crackers (and they tell me this) just crack me up. … It's like they have this little self-indulgence they like to tell me about as their spouse or partner looks on and rolls their eyes.”

Martin Dairy to host virtual tours at World Dairy Expo For the Headlight Herald

Martin Dairy LLC, a Registered Jersey dairy farm in Tillamook, will be one of eight U.S. operations featured as a Virtual Farm Tour at the 2012 World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. this October.

Other Virtual Farm Tours feature dairy businesses located in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, Kansas, and Michigan.

The story of Martin Dairy winds its way from the Azores and Brazil, to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the date when Norm Martin’s grandfather arrived with his new wife on their way to the Holstein dairy he had already established near Oakland.

Within two decades, the herd was moved south and

increased to 300 cows, requiring 10 milkers. Norm grew up on the dairy as it modernized and grew. He took on a management role in 1971, then complete ownership in 1975.

In 1995, Norm, his wife Gwen and their family moved to Tillamook to become producers for Tillamook County Creamery Association. In the beginning, the herd was set up to be half Holstein cows and half Jerseys.

For almost four years, the herd was evenly split: “two separate pens of Jerseys, two pens of Holsteins, same milkers, same feed rations, everything exactly the same.”

Norm determined that while gross sales were higher for the Holsteins, the net returns from the Jerseys were greater. In early 1998, the decision was

Buddy Walk strides toward acceptance, awareness SEASIDE – Sept. 22 is your chance to enjoy a party at the beach while supporting those with special needs on the north Oregon and south Washington coasts.

The festivities are scheduled for that day at Quatat Park during the Annual Buddy Walk at the Beach.

The walk is one of more than 300 such events to be held across the nation this fall to raise awareness and funds for programs that benefit people with Down syndrome and their families.

“It’s very important to make a difference for people with Down syndrome and other special needs by participating in the Buddy Walk,” said North Coast Down Syndrome Network Board President Debbie Sherman of Nehalem. “The focus is not on our disabilities, but on our abilities that count.

At the Buddy Walk, we all walk together.”

While NCDSN is affiliated with the National Down Syndrome Society, which founded the National Buddy Walk Program, it doesn’t restrict itself to serving only those with Down syndrome, said Sherman. “We’re here to help any families with special needs.”

The group’s service area extends from

the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington to Lincoln County.

Sherman is joined on the NCDSN Board by fellow north Tillamook County residents Bill Sherman, Julie Chick, Stacey Schuring, Tracie Bailey and Vicki Chase.

NCDSN outreach includes financial assistance in the form of food gift cards for families whose loved ones with special needs are in the hospital in Portland and a lending library headquartered at Nehalem Elementary School available to anyone who would like to use it.

The Buddy Walk is NCDSN’s primary fundraising event. Last year it used a portion of money raised to purchase apps and protective covers for several iPads donated to Nehalem Elementary and Garibaldi Grade schools.

The Mudd Nick, Eugene Schmuck and Life to the Max foundations purchased the iPads, three of which are used in Nehalem Elementary’s LifeSkills and Learning Center, which serves students with special needs.

This year’s Buddy Walk will feature guest speaker Dr. Joe Pinter, director of Child Development & Rehab Center at the Doernbecher Children’s

Pinter received his medical degree from UCLA before completing his res-

idency in pediatrics at the University of Washington and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He completed a pediatric neurology residency at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard-Longwood Neuro-

logical Training Program. His research has focused on neuroimaging in congenital brain anomalies and Down syndrome and his clinical interests include Down syndrome, Tourette syndrome and congenital brain anomalies.

Those who participate in the event will have the chance to meet and have their photos taken with Miss Oregon.

The Buddy Walk at the Beach will also include the main event, a walk from Quatat Park to the beach and back, the ever popular face painting with Bizzy the Clown, lunch and a raffle.

Registration costs $12 per adult and $6 per child, and includes a T-shirt, lunch and more. Those who preregister will get a number in line for face painting.

The North Coast Down Syndrome Network is happy to accept sponsorships as well as to work with volunteers. Donations are tax-deductible.

For those who haven’t preregistered, registration at the event will begin at 10 a.m. For more information, contact Sherman at 503-368-6892 or debsher123@live.com or visit northcoastdsn.org.

Pet Partners, formerly Delta Society, will honor longtime supporter and volunteer, Katharine Harding, of Neskowin, with its first annual Delta Spirit of Caring Award for her work with her therapy dogs, Karisto and Philia.

Harding and her canine partners in service visit hospitals and care centers twice weekly, bringing affection and a bright spot into the days of patients and staff.

The Spirit of Caring award honors a person, group, company or organization that exemplifies Pet Partners’ mission to promote and demonstrate that positive human-animal interactions improve people’s physical, psychological and emotional health.

“The power of Pet Partner visits is in their simplicity,” Harding said. “We visit each patient for about five minutes.”

In that brief, simple human-animal exchange, the energy in a room is often shifted.

“Even the hospital staff look forward to our visits. We are ministering to them, too. The nurses have said to me, ‘We so look forward to you coming! It relieves the tension in the room just to have Karisto walk in.’”

Harding will receive the award at Pet Partners’ second annual fundraising gala Sept. 15 at The Nines Hotel in Portland.

“I’m thrilled and humbled to receive the award,” says Harding. “Ever since learning about what was then Delta Society in 1991, I have supported their mission to promote the human-animal bond.

The more I learned, the more I knew that someday I wanted to become a therapy animal team with just the right dog.”

Harding has volunteered with her King Charles Cavalier Spaniel-Miniature Poodle mixes Karisto since 2008 and Philia since 2011. She pairs with one or the other therapy dog on alternating visits to Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospi-

“Karisto’s name comes from the Greek word for ‘thank you,’ efcharisto; Philia’s name is love in ancient Greek. So I tell people when I visit that I have a little gratitude dog and a little love dog.”

“This is the most meaningful volunteer work I have done,” said Harding, who is known in the community for her volunteering efforts. “I feel like this is the work that I was meant to do. As a child, and beyond, every chance I have had to make a wish before blowing birthday candles has always been the same, ‘I wish to communicate with animals.’

“Visiting people with Karisto and Philia has been my wish come true with a far deeper meaning. We do communicate with each other as a team and with whomever we visit. I am forever grateful to Delta Pet Partners for making my wish come true even though it is not in quite the way I imagined.”

According to Pet Partners’ President & CEO Stephen Browning, “Katharine has been a model member of Delta Society and Pet Partners with her loves for people and animals through her many visits to health-care facilities with Karisto

and Philia. She frequently moves audiences with her compelling testimonials on the human-health impact of therapy animals and healing and comfort they provide.”

One such testimonial brings tears to Katharine’s eyes as she recalls it. “I went to visit a little girl with her legs in casts at Shriners Hospital for Children. Karisto and I stepped into the room, and saw that she was sound asleep. I started to step back out of the room, and Karisto wouldn’t follow me as he usually does. He refused to leave the room. He led me over to the girl’s mother, who kneeled down in front of him, put her hands on his ears, buried her face in his soft curls and wept. After a while she looked up at me and said, ‘Thank you, I needed that.’

“That little dog knew that there was someone in the room who needed him.

That is the power of this work.”

Harding has served as development director, head of the Development Committee, member of the Capital Campaign Committee and trustee for the Neskowin Valley School. She also served as head of the school from 2002–2004.

Her volunteer activities also include serving as volunteer coordinator for recycling for Tillamook County. For this work and her work at Neskowin Valley School, she was selected in 1992 for the prestigious Jefferson Award, a national recognition honoring community and public volunteerism.

Her other volunteer activities through the years have included serving on the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition which distributes funds from The Oregon Cultural Trust, as a beach captain for SOLVE in charge of a beach clean-up zone each fall and spring, and as a CoastWatch volunteer for Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition.

Tickets to the fundraising gala where Harding will receive her award Sept. 15, and additional information are available online at onebond.org.

The Tillamook County Short-term Rental Ordinance No. 69 was adopted on March 7 and was enacted pursuant to ORS 203.035. It only applies to unincorporated areas, such as Netarts and Oceanside.

According to Ordinance No. 69 Exhibit “A” (C), there are 7,800 homes that are owned by property taxpayers who reside outside of Tillamook County. It is estimated that about 2,400 of those are owned by absentee owners and are vacation rentals, also known as shortterm rentals. Because occupancy levels are not regulated by the county there is a tendency to maximize the number of occupants, and since many short-term rental owners are absentee, it is difficult to control them.

According to the 2010 census, Oceanside has 647 total housing units. There are 456 vacant housing units, with 392 being used for “seasonal recreation or occasional use.” There are 191 that are occupied full time. With that being said, over 50% of the housing units are seasonal recreation/shortterm/vacation rentals – with no capacity level regulations by the county.

The massive house party that recently occurred was only stopped by concerned and scared neighbors who called authorities and the rapid response of the Tillamook County Sheriff, Tillamook City Police and Netarts-Oceanside Fire. Please be aware of what is happening in your neighborhood and report it!

estucca Jr./Sr. High School has a new reader-board at the intersection of U.S. Highway 101 and Bridge Streets in Cloverdale. It replaces a predecessor that was lost to storm damage last winter. The new sign is digitally programmable from the ground, so personnel will no longer need to risk life and limb to change announcements. In fact, I hear that the announcement can be changed remotely from the high school some distance south of the new reader board. The replacement was reportedly funded through an insurance claim, the Bobcats’ Booster Club, and some construction excise tax funds.

And this year, it’s not going to feel like much of a vacation for them. Tami’s going into the hospital for cancer treatment. Prayers and best wishes are in order for a speedy and successful recovery. Tami will be e-mailing me weekly updates, and I’ll report ‘em in the column.

ust a reminder to the Nea-Rock Garden Club ladies that the meeting at Dru Preston’s this month is Wednesday, Sept. 19 and not Wednesday, Sept. 12 as I put in the paper previously. It is a potluck, so bring something good to share for lunch. Meet at PUD at 11:15 a.m. and leave the parking lot at 11:30 a.m. Dru’s address is 60 N. Evergreen Drive, Tillamook. Look for cemetery sign on left side of Highway 6. Call Dru at (510) 418-0621 for more directions to her place. Dru’s e-mail address is preston@sbcc.net. We will tour Preston’s garden and see all the work they have put into getting the garden spot ready for planting. Everything is growing

Werner, retired Rockaway librarian, for running the Storytime every Wednesday this summer following Grub Club.

The kids were read stories that she selected and made craft projects with the theme of the stories. To the Dairy Queen for sponsoring—for the 8th year—the Garibaldi Teen Summer Reading Program, and providing the prizes. To the Garibaldi Lions Club for their continued support for Teen Reading. And to Emmy and Jerry Orahood for volunteering their time and help during some of the Library’s special programs this summer.

And I’d add thanks to the Reptile Man, to the Dragon Puppet Theatre (gotta love them space hamsters), and to the Bay City Arts Center for that epic Jedi Pigs of Oz puppet show.

The Garibaldi Library now has the screenplay on the life of Giuseppe Garibaldi by Santini available for checkout; it’s called GARIBALDI: Last of the Great Romantic Heroes, and it is fascinating reading.

The book was donated by our local author and historian Jack Graves.

The Garibaldi Food Pantry is open this Friday 10 a.m. until noon, at the God’s Lighthouse church, 8th & Garibaldi Ave. (across from the Food Basket). Got canned or other non-perishable foodstuffs to donate? You can take them either to the Garibaldi Post Office or Tami’s Barber Shop (4th & Garibaldi Ave.) during working hours. The Garibaldi Gazelles are still running (and walking) Saturday mornings; meet at the Grade School at 9 a.m.

The square dance club has a new name; they’re now the Wave Steppers — Tillamook Bay. (The old name, “Coast Swingers,” got them routinely confused with a wife-swapping club.) Their dance last Saturday, Sept. 8 will be the last for this year, but they’ll start up again in the spring.

By spring, they may have a local caller — me — which will hopefully make things easier. There will be two more nights of free classes, the 4th Wednesdays in September and October, at the Tillamook Elks lodge, with instructor Jim Hattrick. Hattrick is teaching line dancing, too.

and ready to harvest. Dru’s husband has put in a large planting bed with curbing around and just finished putting in a fountain. Their house has been remodeled throughout. This will be a fun day as we haven’t been to Dru’s place before.

It was a sunny, warm day for the potluck/picnic and pig roast at the Cape Meares Community Center on Sunday, September 2, 2012. Food was good, pig done to perfection as usual. Donations were generous to pay for the pig to roast. The Silent Auction did not have as many bids as hoped for, but still brought in some revenue for paying expenses.

Chris Spence, (503) 8128971, needs 2-3 volunteers for a work party at the schoolhouse Saturday, September 15. This will be maintenance on the windows and siding repair. He will need painters later that day, or a later day. There are also gardening and landscape needs, so a few more people will be needed to help with that. Come and help spruce up our beloved schoolhouse, or bring refreshments for the crew.

CMCA will again be using e-mail to send out community

news, urgent messages, and an occasional newsletter. In order to be placed on the Cape meares e-mail distribution list, please e-mail CapeMearesCommunity@gmail.com.

Since our tsunami siren will not be in use after January, 1, 2013 it is suggested that you look into options for radios for use during power/phone outages. The main point is that every home should have a NOAA All Hazards alert radio.

These are available for as little as $28.00 at many outlets and online. Check also at Tillamook Radio Shack. This radio in your home is as important as your smoke detector.

The Oregon Marine Debris Team, in partnership with Oregon State Parks identified the beautiful stretch of beach along Netarts Spit as in need of a clean-up from excessive marine debris. The first clean-up was planned for September 8. To sign up for the pool for volunteers being organized to be ready for clean-ups during the coming year or more that tsunami debris will be arriving, please contact Charlie Plybon through oregon@surfrider.org.

he first day of school is behind us, fall is ahead with pictures for the Neah-Kah-Nie Middle school scheduled for Sept. 17.

I’m already trying to figure out what they should wear. Also don’t forget about open house for the Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School from 6-7 p.m. Sept. 13.

Nehalem Elementary’s is 5:306:30 p.m. Sept. 19.

Still waiting to hear about the dates for the Cub Scouts Rain Gutter Regatta; as soon as I hear when they are I will let you know. The last I was informed, it would be on a weekend this month. Try to make it if you can; the kids can really use your support. If you have any boys interested in Cub Scouts this would be a fun time to come and check it out.

Labor Day weekend was wonderful, with great weather and fun. The Manzanita Grocery & Deli had their annual community potluck; it was fabulous.

The volunteers were so upbeat and smiling and all hands were kept busy throughout the day.

I have a rule to not go anywhere on Labor Day due to the traffic and accidents, but having two boys in Boy Scouts, we received a call asking if the boys wanted to help out with the setup for the Manzanita Grocery & Deli’s annual Labor Day picnic at Pine Grove. The troop decided to go, so I thought I would go along and see if they could use another hand or two with our little one in tow. When we arrived, we were greeted by Ann Hawkins and Imie Camelli, two very nice women. They had us

setting up tables and chairs, then we waited to see about further set-up down by the store. Everyone was busy, our daughter had a fun time helping a gentleman set the tables with salt and pepper sets.

The Boy Scouts did a wonderful job with finding more chairs and bringing tables out, and helping to fill the water/soda cooler up, while the others were setting the tables up with buns, potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, baked beans, three different kinds of potato chips, pretzels, pickles and other condiments, and a huge chocolate cake. The hotdogs and hamburgers were coming in piping hot from Susan and Kerry Brown’s Road Grill & BBQ. All the food was wonderful.

I truly want to thank the owners of the Manzanita Grocery & Deli Chung and Judy Lee for a great time, good food and wonderful conversation. If you haven’t been to this picnic, you need to go next year. The cost is cash donations or canned food. All proceeds benefit the North County Food Bank. The Boy Scouts were happy to help and ready to work: they are Greg Elligsen, Matthew Grimes, Ivan Davidson, Justin Lee, William Grimes, Willie Davidson and Ethan Lee. Also thanks to the many people who were helping from setup to food to breakdown to everything: Imie Camelli, Ann Hawkins, Margo Glenn, Dick Jones, Tom, Patti Rinehart, Mable Orchard, Eleanor Nida, Helen Tippens, Candy Bocarde, Rachel Lee, Judy Davidson, Shawn Grimes, Emma Grimes and the one gentleman with a kind word and a smile. It was very nice meeting you, Blain!

Happy Birthday to Mike Noble, and Debbie Vermilyea!

See you soon.

NOTES FROM THE COAST

‘The Church of the Salmonites’ I ’d like to tell you a story.

The Church of the Salmonites was formed in the 1980s on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The SCHUBERT first congregation lay littered MOORE about Larry and Ielean Rouse’s beach cabin in Pacific City, exhausted after fishing all day. There was Anne Price, now a loan officer for Oregon Coast Bank, her then husband John Abele, the Rouses, Canoys, Tennys, Carottas, Marcoes, and Moores. We all were either owners or renters in South Tillamook County. Without much discussion, we elected Larry Rouse Reverend of the Church. We had in common our love of salmon fishing, highstress professional careers and a taste for beer.

It was an outdoor crash course for me. The Church knew the regs and never cheated, could identify any bird they saw at a glance, fin-clipped salmon smolts, volunteered for the SOLV beach cleanup, were whale watch volunteers. In short, they taught me to be a steward of our place.

We confused the Pacific City Winkleman Library Board when we donated $150, the proceeds of the 1st Annual Church of the Salmonites Library Fund Crap Game. They finally took the money.

We had our rituals. When Marcoes and we bought boats at the same time, Reverend Larry gathered us together for the christening, read from the Navy manual, usually something at random, in our case the proper disposal of marine bilge. He solemnly petitioned Neptune to

bring fair winds and calm seas.

He also prayed we all would return safe to shore. Over the years, his prayer was answered.

Even though we thought our tongues were planted firmly in our cheeks, there were locked throats at those rituals, surprising us with their power.

The Church took its boats down the minefield of sandbars that make up the lower Nestucca River to fish the mouth where the river meets the Pacific Ocean. We were good. Limits were common, thirty-pound Chinook numerous, fiftypounders on occasion.

After fishing we gathered on the edge of the tiny Nestucca bay I called The Holy Land.

Over a fire we would cook sausages and boil crab and weave a net of connectedness by recounting what happened that day in stories, endlessly repeated over the years. I sometimes think the purpose of doing anything is to make a story.

Several of us have handcrafted pottery plaques fired by Carolyn Canoy declaring our existence. The Church of the Salmonites owns a brick at Kiwanda Community Center.

We grew close. This place became a part of us. What were we doing? We were creating family, the same way Lions, Scouts, fraternities and sororities create family by bonding with ritual-blessed stories. We were trying to hold on to each other.

It didn’t work. The Church of the Salmonites died. Age killed it and the occasional personal conflict. Who can say why a thing like that is no more?

Groups are fragile, hard to hold.

Everything has a life span. But while it lasted, ah, there was a glory there.

Want to keep someone? Tell them a story.

but fortunately the firemen take “good care of their own” so they will be sending some meals her way. Take care Debra. Be well!

Speaking of the City Hall, I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to my friend Terri Michaels.

My husbands’ favorite saying is “I thought I wrong but I was mistaken.” Well, I won’t go into that, but I did make a little mistake a few columns back. But I will turn lemons into lemonade. I called the Ocean Side Cottages on South 6th and 101 cabins. Bill Browne informed me they are the oldest cottages in Rockaway Beach and are located by what used to be the “Old Saltair Train Depot.” They are newly remodeled, quaint, with old time charm. So take a step back in time, hear the train whistle, and smell the “saltair.”

Perhaps play in the nearby creek or ocean. Their number

Our Police Department needs you! Well, they need volunteers. They usually have 25 but are down by five for various reasons. Volunteers work two-hour shifts. They answer phones, assist the public and the officers. This really helps the officers, as they can go about their duties while someone is still at the station to answer questions. It’s a great community service and interesting too! A background check is required for volunteers. Stop by the police station if you have questions.

A little humor: Laura Owens and Linda Olson were having a garage sale. Laura saw a wonderful mug she wanted to buy from Linda until Linda told her it was hers. She decided she definitely has good taste.

GARDENING MATTERS The more interesting random thoughts

R

andom thoughts seem to be wafting through my mind these days.

Allow me to share some of the more interesting ones.

I knew in June when we were grumbling about the rain that we would pay for our sins with a warm, dry summer. Didn’t stop any of us complaining, though, not that our complaints stopped the rains. And it did come true. Our summer has been beautiful – no complaints as to temperatures, but not much rain to speak of. As I write this column the last week in August, we had a few drops a few days ago and that helped a little. But it wasn’t nearly enough rain to make our plants happy.

Watering is a funny thing.

We need to do it in July and August most summers, but I, for one, tend to stop watering in September whether we have rain or not. Something about the feel of fall, I guess, and how there is an impending sense that the rains will be on us soon enough to help the plants through their drought-like conditions.

I say “drought-like” because by no stretch of the imagination did we have a drought this summer. Not like most of the country at least. I was astonished to learn in mid-August that over half of the counties in the United States were suffering from a

GARDENING MATTERS CARLA ALBRIGHT

drought. And that meant no considerable rain for months and months. Coastal Oregon may be dry, but our crops aren’t yet wilting and we know the rain will come sooner than we would like. So I will continue to water my newest perennials, the vegetables, and pots and hanging baskets. The older, more established plants are on their own. And I have every confidence they will be okay.

There are signs that autumn is on its way, though. The days are considerably shorter, and the fog rolls in more often. Spiders are beginning their annual contest of the web to see who can weave their webs faster than I can brush them down. But the weirdest sign is the slugs.

You may have noticed in the cool, early morning pairs of slugs wrapped around a slimy, white, gelatinous mass. I didn’t think slugs could get any more disgusting, but I was wrong.

They are having slug s-e-x,

breeding and getting ready to lay their fertilized eggs deep into the ground. Each time I see this happening, I can’t help but be repulsed and I go for an empty cottage cheese container to scoop the pair into. I have gotten quite good at this as I use the lid as my scooper and I don’t even need to take time to find my gloves. By nipping the breeding in the bud, as it were, I am helping to cut down the slug population in my garden for next year. I won’t think of the hundreds of other randy little slugs I am missing for not being in the right place at the right time.

All in all, I have been pleased with my ‘Bajaja’ patio tomatoes. They are starting to ripen and my only fear is I will not be able to eat them all. This plant is a determinate variety which means they fruit when the plant reaches a certain size, which they did in mid-August.

They are small plants, perfect for pots, and the fruit is small, too, but very plentiful. I must have a hundred tomatoes on one plant and almost twice that on another. I tried a ripe one a few days ago, and it was very tasty.

My mother-in-law has always maintained that fruits and vegetables only have so much taste to go around, so big beefsteak tomatoes are not as tasty as the ‘Early Girl’. If this is true, my ‘Bajaja’ will be the best tasting

tomatoes ever. Stay tuned.

I have always said planting trees, shrubs and perennials in the fall is the easiest way to help them thrive. The earth is warmer and the roots can spread out more easily into the soil, giving them a better start in the spring. But fall planting is best mostly because Mother Nature takes over the watering duties for us in late October most years. Besides, a lot of nurseries have great sales on left-over plants in September and October. Just make sure the plants aren’t root-bound in their pots before you buy them. This is easily done by popping the plant out of the pot and taking a look. A good nursery won’t mind you doing this. Sometimes you can also tell by the roots that are growing out of the drainage holes. If the roots are wrapped around and around themselves, it may not be worth it to try to save the plant. But that will depend on the asking price, too. Kind of a gamble, really.

But isn’t all of gardening a calculated risk? We put seeds in the ground and expect them to grow. We buy plants that cost an arm-and-a-leg just to have a new variety of something and trust they will do well in our gardens. Previous research and TLC can improve the odds, but in the end, it is all left to fate.

Wish us luck.

LAP SITTER Jack was a bit of a Nervous Nellie, but he’s settled down considerably in foster care. He still needs a home that’s quiet and calm, perhaps with a mature person or couple where he can do a lot of lap-sitting. Once he feels secure, he’ll become a terrific companion. Jack is a brown, black and white Chihuahua mix, about a year old, house trained, neutered and current with shots.
