uring his sentencing and restitution hearing Sept 17, Marshall McMurrin was sentenced to 105 months of prison, with credit for time served, and ordered to pay $38,805.21 in restitution to his victims. McMurrin’s father paid the restitution in full. McMurrin, the former owner of Tillamook Computers, pleaded guilty to aggravated theft for the fraudulent use of his customers’ credit cards in 2011. He pleaded no contest to first-degree attempted robbery for attempting to rob the Neskowin Market Place on July 13, 2011 with a loaded gun. He pleaded no contest to a burglary at Tillamook Sporting Goods the following day, where he broke in and stole another gun. More than a year later, the community is still shaking its collective head. McMurrin was a churchgoer with a nice family and a successful business. What on earth happened? The Headlight Herald asked McMurrin if he would like to tell his story and explain his behavior and his crimes to the community. He agreed. What emerged was a story about addiction and a roller coaster lifestyle that included periods of sobriety in which McMurrin showed terrific promise and potential, followed by relapse, which led to personal, financial, legal, and spiritual ruin. McMurrin grew up in a Christian family and went to school in Wisconsin. He graduated from the Wisconsin School of Engineering and began a career in computer technology. He experienced early success, had good jobs with Bell Systems and the Tandy Corporation; he seemed destined to go places. Until he tried cocaine. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McMurrin became powerfully addicted to the drug. He experienced job loss and a brush with the law, and still, he spiraled downward. He went through inpatient treatment and several outpatient treatment centers. “Cocaine was a real addiction,” said McMurrin, “it took over my life. It ruled me. I understood what addic-

fort them both while he prepared Taylor for transport. Taylor, likely in shock, did not cry, according to her grandmother. Rather, she talked to Hays while he was helping her. “My poppa’s coming home this weekend,” she told him. She was referring to her grandfather, Tim Barnett, who was in Alaska at the time of the accident, and flew home as soon as he heard what had happened.

I had my push mower. That girl loves to be outside. Her bubble mower stopped making bubbles and she got bored. She climbed the steps to the slide, and she was sitting up there, on the platform at the top of the slide. “I mowed under the slide. And then I turned around and pulled the mower back behind me. The mower stopped and I heard a terrible ‘thunk’ and I turned around and my life was over.”

Unbeknownst to Tammy, her granddaughter had gone down the slide after she turned her back, and when Taylor got to the bottom of the slide her foot slid under the mower. One blade took the top of her foot off, and the other slashed her leg above the anklebone. Luckily, Taylor’s foot was still attached by the tibial artery, which maintained some blood flow to the foot. Nestucca Valley Fire and Rescue responded. Mickey Hays was first on scene, and he knew both the child and her grandmother, and was able to com-

tion was.” McMurrin struggled to stay clean. “I had great ability to stay sober” (McMurrin uses the word sober to describe abstinence from cocaine) “for 6-8 months; then I would relapse. Then another 6-8 months of sobriety,” followed by still more relapse. “Cocaine took me to a low point in my life, and that’s what led me to Christ,” said McMurrin. McMurrin wanted to start his life over. He was traveling down the West Coast in 1997 on his way to see his daughter in California, when he arrived in Tillamook with nothing. Here he met Pastor Brad Smith of First Baptist Church. Smith offered McMurrin a hand up. “He helped me, he invited me to stay in Tillamook and live at the church and start my computer business. “I came here with a heartfelt, deep desire to start fresh with God, to try to get my life right with God, and I did.” McMurrin said he has not used cocaine since he moved to Tillamook. McMurrin immersed himself in the First Baptist Church community “attending services, studying the bible, doing service projects, whatever I could do.” A local contractor gave him a construction job, which allowed him to earn enough money to start his computer business. Smith helped McMurrin find a building to serve as both a home and a place for his computer business. His new landlords became some of his first customers, and his business blossomed from there. “My life was a blessed life here in Tillamook,” McMurrin said. “Business doubled every year. Within 10 years I was running a $1 million business. I found a wonderful local woman (Dawn McMurrin) and married her; I had a new family. 2003-2005 were the largest revenue years of the business. We had $40,000 to $50,000 a month in sales at Tillamook Computers. We had thousands of customers, and a great location. We were selling a computer every day.”

The Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center (WRC) will celebrate 30 years of services to local women on Sept. 25, from 5-7 p.m. at the Tillamook County Library. Guest speakers State Senator Betsy Johnson and former Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson, both strong supporters of the WRC, will address the group. There will be a silent auction, raffle and cake. The program begins at 6 p.m. The community is invited and the event is free. Please RSVP by calling 503-8429486. The WRC’s mission is nothing less than “to end domestic violence and sexual assault in Tillamook County.” To that end, they have several programs and numerous services, including a 24-hour crisis hotline; a drop-in center; and a safe, secure and beautiful shelter for women and their children who need housing for up to 30 days. There are outreach, prevention and education programs for both youth and adults. Kathleen Marvin, who has been WRC’s director for 10 years, said the center’s domestic violence (DV) prevention work is particularly dynamic. “The community can be proud of our DV prevention work,” she said. “We’re seen as an example statewide.” The center’s youth training youth program has gained widespread attention, and is being copied by other DV programs around the state. The center operates the Wildflower Thrift Store, which provides funding for WRC programs, as well as job training for clients and others in the community. The thrift store can also help families to reestablish a home after a disaster. The WRC has nine staff, including the shelter house mother, the thrift store staff and advocates at DHS and the Health Department. They serve roughly 100 families per month.

Fire causes severe damage to Tillamook home jwrabek@countrymedia.net

A late-afternoon fire Sept. 16 at the Dwaine Merchant residence at 1212 Third St. in Tillamook resulted in significant damage to the house, according to Tillamook Fire, and displaced the occupants —Merchant, one other adult, and a dog. The fire started in the kitchen, Fire Marshal Rueben Descloux said. “He was just deep-frying food, and walked into another room. He was just away for a minute — and the fire had grown too quickly.” 911 was called by passers-by, Descloux said. Three

Leroy Klepper, Wildlife Center of the North Coast volunteer, rescues a turkey vulture with a broken wing.

OSP Trooper assists with vulture rescue BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

The job is never boring. When policemen and women get up in the morning, they never know what the day will hold. Trooper Clint Galusha, of the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division, received a call Saturday afternoon, Sept. 15, to assist in an injured turkey vulture rescue. It was the first time he had responded to a vulture call, but he was game. Galusha arrived on scene at Tillamook River Road to assist volunteers from the North Coast Wildlife Center in Astoria. The volunteers would capture the bird and transport it to the center, where it would be rehabilitated, if possible. This bird, however, had proven elusive. Reports were that it had been hit by a vehicle four days ago, and had been “on the ground” with a broken wing since. Local Wildlife Center volunteers had been trying to capture the bird without success. It was wary and spry, and dodged them once by hiding in blackberry brambles. Galusha spotted the bird before the Wildlife Center volunteers arrived. He’d been out on a call at Tillamook Bay, looking for illegal crabbers when the vulture call came in. “I don’t know how we’ll do this,” he said. “But I imagine the people from the Wildlife Center will know what to do.

They’ll probably use a blanket or a towel or something.” Galusha said he answers wildlife calls regularly. Recently, he took a call for a porcupine, and another for an injured hawk. Once he helped rescue a bobcat cub, he recalled with a smile. The vulture was walking the fence line along Tillamook River Road. It paused at a spot where people had dumped a stinky pile of crab shells. It was easy to imagine that the vulture was scavenging in that pile when something startled it, and it flew up and into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The volunteers arrived, and one of them, Leroy Klepper, climbed the fence and circled around the vulture with a bed sheet. Klepper pursued the bird, gently herding it, pausing when the bird started to panic, and within minutes he’d thrown the bed sheet over the vulture and scooped it up in his arms. The bird was transferred to a large cardboard box with the help of volunteer Tim Sutfin, while Trooper Galusha stood by to assist. Galusha didn’t have to chase and catch a wounded vulture, but he was ready and willing if need be; all in a day’s work for a Fish and Wildlife Division trooper. To volunteer for the North Coast Wildlife Center, or to report an injured bird or animal, call 503-338-0331.

New manager for Tillamook food bank Tillamook County’s food bank has a new branch manger. Melissa Carlson-Swanson took over management of the Oregon Food Bank, Tillamook County Services, on Aug. 30. Many in the community know her through her involvement with the Tillamook Kiwanis Club and her previous job as store manger at Tillamook’s Wells Fargo Bank. “After over 16 years in the financial services industry, I was ready to make a change, focusing on serving the community that I live in,” CarlsonSwanson said. Carlson-Swanson replaces Cari Clifton, who left the food bank this summer in order to spend more time with her family. “My hope for the Tillamook County Services Branch of Oregon Food Bank is to keep the existing programs and agencies that we currently support going strong and increase the availability of food for underserved areas,” said Carlson-Swanson. “We are currently conducting meet and greets with each of our agencies and

programs. We are also meeting with local organizations to plan upcoming events going into the holiday season to increase donations.” Oregon Food Bank, Tillamook County Services, provides food to 25 local pantries, meal sites, and local food programs. “We welcome donations of food, funds and time,” Carlson-Swanson said. “We need the help of the entire community to fight hunger in our community.” For more information on the food bank, located at 1760 Wilson River Loop in Tillamook, call 503-842-3154.

Headlight Herald - Tillamook, Ore., Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - Page A3

BY KAREN OLSON For the Headlight Herald

On Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9:30 a.m., north Tillamook County residents and visitors will participate in a tsunami evacuation drill sponsored by the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District, the cities of Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler and Rockaway Beach, and the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay. The drill is designed to help residents “be prepared, not scared,” if a major local earthquake strikes and causes a tsunami. It will also help the organizers assess community emergency preparedness and plan future training and outreach. “Training makes you safer in the event of a real emergency,” said Emergency Volunteer Corps president Linda Kozlowski. “The people who deal best with a crisis are those who have a plan in place and have practiced it. If you are prepared, you can take care of yourself, your family, and then your community.” The drill will start with first responders – firefighters and police – clearing the beaches, and then driving through residential neighborhoods in the inundation zone announcing the drill by loudspeaker. Civil Air Patrol aircraft will fly along the coast, broadcasting recorded announcements of the drill in English and Spanish. Reverse 911 will call inundation zone residents, alerting them to the drill on both home and mobile phones. (Sign up for Reverse 911 cell phone notification at www. entry.inspironlogistics.com/tillam-

ook_911/wens.cfm for immediate text messages.) NIXLE alerts from Tillamook County Emergency Management will be sent out by text and/or email notification. (Sign up at www.nixle.com.) The Emergency Operations Center at the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District headquarters will be activated and serve as Incident Commander.

WHAT TO DO When notified that the drill has begun, those within the local tsunami inundation zone should walk to their nearest assembly site. Those above the inundation zone should not evacuate, unless it’s to check in at a designated Map Your Neighborhood gathering site. Tsunami assembly sites are permanently marked with blue signs. A map, including the inundation zone and assembly sites, can be found at city halls, the fire station and online at www.evcnb.org. Temporary signs, posted the day of the drill, will note the tsunami high-water line and point to the nearest assembly site.

WHAT TO BRING Evacuees are asked to bring their “go bag,” or 72-hour kit, to the assembly site and note how long it takes to get there. This three-day supply of the bare essentials for an individual’s or family’s survival includes what’s needed to stay warm, dry, fed and hydrated.

“In a true local tsunami, you need to plan to stay for 12 to 24 hours at your assembly site,” said Kozlowski. “It’s really important to have emergency supplies for your family ready to go, and know that you can carry your kit along your evacuation route to your assembly site.” During the drill, a 72-hour kit list will be available at each assembly site. These and other suggested supplies can be found at evcnb.org. At the 17 evacuation assembly sites, EVC and ARC volunteers will administer a short survey: length of time it took to get to the site, number participating, the number of families with kits, and any problems. Volunteers will answer questions about the drill, tsunamis, or emergency preparedness. If time allows, there will be a short lesson on how to use Family Service Radios (FRS). The first families to arrive at each assembly site will receive a Red Cross comfort Target Tote kit to include in or kick-start their own 72-hour kit. During the exercise, approximately 35 local ham radio operators will use new repeaters to coordinate and communicate. Map Your Neighborhood Captains will update Zone Leaders using FRS radios. Information will be sent to the Incident Command to help coordinate responses. The drill will end when the Incident Commander announces the “all clear.” Assembly sites will be notified by ham radio, and the Civil Air Patrol planes will announce it from the air.

Hwy. 6 construction to last through Oct. 2013 Highway work is underway to rebuild several miles of Highway 6 east of Tillamook near the intersection of Wilson River Loop Road. The Oregon Department of Transportation project aims to improve the intersection, which has had a significant number of accidents, primarily from local traffic attempting to cross the high-speed Hwy. 6. ODOT rates areas that consistently have crashes on a Safety Priority Index System which prioritizes sites by the number and severity of crashes. Fatalities or serious injuries consistently keep this site designated as a high priority safety problem. In 2008, ODOT held a series of public meetings to present early design options and receive input from local landowners, business owners, trucking stakeholders and Tillamook officials. Through this public process

Fatal construction accident off Hwy. 6 BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

There was a fatal construction accident Sept. 12 at the Jolly Roger timber sale area, up Hwy 6 off of Kansas Creek Road, about four miles up Hembre Ridge Road. Robert Reinke, 73, of Florence, was operating heavy equipment for Far West Portable Crushing, a road construction contractor, when the accident occurred. Reinke was working alone, driving a large roller, and bringing the vehicle down a hill, when he lost control. The vehicle rolled, Reinke came out of the vehicle, and it rolled over him. The vehicle came to rest on its side. Another construction crew in the area discovered the accident and called it in at approximately 1:45 p.m. The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and the Tillamook Fire Department responded. Sheriff’s Office Chaplains John and Carol Elm and John Olson were on scene. After the victim was positively identified, the Florence Police Department sent a chaplain and officer to notify the victim’s wife. Burden’s Towing responded to the scene, as did Waud’s Funeral Home.

TODDLER: Taylor was transported to Tillamook General Hospital, where she was lifeflighted to the Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel. “Thank God they took her there,” said Tammy, “because the best orthopedic surgeon in the world operated on her foot.” The first surgery, to reattach her foot, was four and a half hours long. Two days later she had another four and a half hour surgery to repair tendons and install an “external fixator,” a device her grandmother describes as a “metal cage around her leg, attached by pins in her bones to hold everything in place.” Taylor lost two toes. But so far, barring infections, her foot has survived reattachment. “It’s a miracle,” said Tammy. “If you could have seen what I saw when it happened, you never would have guessed that we would be where we are now.” Taylor went home Friday

near future for removal of stitches, removal of the external fixator, assuming all goes well, and skin grafts. Then she’ll have to have “many bone extension surgeries in the future, because there was so much damage to the growth plate in her leg.” In the meantime, she’ll have to make weekly trips to the Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland for ongoing treatment. Taylor’s mother, Amanda, was in her final week of college classes to become a Certified Medical Assistant when the accident occurred. She managed to sneak away from the hospital a week after the accident to take her final exams. She will have to temporarily postpone her internship program, to nurse Taylor back to health. The family is hopeful that Taylor is young enough that she won’t remember the pain and fear and trauma of the incident. Indeed, when the little girl told the story of her accident to her

mom, Amanda, she described it like this: “I fell down the slide and got a owie. Mimi picked me up and helped me. Then the men came and took me.” But Taylor’s Grandma Tammy (“Mimi”) will never have the luxury of forgetting. “It’s horrible. I keep seeing it happen over and over in my mind. I have to live with that for the rest of my life.” Mickey Hays and his wife Raquel set up an account at US Bank in Taylor’s name to help with her medical expenses. Taylor is on the Oregon Health Plan, but that certainly won’t cover all of her needs. Donations can be made at U.S. Banks in Rockaway, Tillamook, Cloverdale and Lincoln City.

Home is in Beaver, where Taylor lives with her mother, Amanda Stalford, and her grandparents, Tammy and Tim Barnett. “First we have to get her to eat,” said Tammy. “She’s not really eating yet, and if we can’t get her to start eating we’ll have to take her back to the hospital.” In an email update, Taylor’s grandma reported that the little girl got her appetite back as soon as they left the hospital. “We got her home tonight and on the way she asked to go to McDonalds. Yeah! She ate good: half her burger with extra pickles, some fries and an ice cream. God, it feels so good to have her home.” The little girl has a long road to recovery ahead.

ROCKAWAY BEACH – On Sept. 12, Rockaway Beach City Council’s Resolution 12611 named the city park, formerly called just “City Park,” after longtime volunteer Phyllis Baker, who started the parks and recreation program and the annual Carnival in the Park. This year’s Carnival was dedicated to Baker, who passed away Aug. 2. The council had voted in August to name the park after Baker, Mayor Danell Boggs said, but questions had been raised whether the park had already been named for the Botts family, from whom the city acquired the land. It was not, Boggs said. She did find that the Botts family had sold the land to the city for just $10, however. City Manager Lars Gare recommended the new signs at the park mention both the Botts’ donation and the dedication to Baker. Resolution 12-612 named Rockaway Beach’s fire hall after current Fire Chief Barry Mammano. “I was present at the dedication of the water treatment plan named for Jim Shotwell,” Councilor Rich Riley told the council. “It would have been nice if we could have bestowed the honor when Jim was still alive.” Mammano, Riley noted, has served on the fire department 55 years. Following adoption of the resolution, Mammano received

a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance. “I knew nothing about this!” Mammano said following the applause. “That was the plan,” Boggs responded. In other business: • The council appointed Linda Olson to a three-year term on the city’s Budget Committee. • Steve Press with the Rockaway Chamber of Commerce promised a response to the city’s transient room tax contract by the council’s October meeting. • “We’ll keep the Wayside open as long as possible,” new public works director Luke Shepherd told the council. Construction is expected to continue into November. Only one bid was received for repaving the Wayside, Gare said, and it was twice the engineer’s estimate. That means there will be delays in the project. “We have to spend the money this year or give it back.” • Gare noted that he had been working on ideas for new revenue sources. “I haven’t published a list yet because I don’t want to get tarred and feathered,” Gare told the council.

READERS’ OPEN FORUM SPEEDBUMP Blackbird GPS During a pleasant morning coffee break, my attention was drawn to a “skeleton” tree nearby, as a flock of 50 to 100 blackbirds descended upon it, chattering in high decibel. It amusingly dawned on me that they were, perhaps, GPS “waypointing” before take-off for winter. Winnie Mercer Rockaway Beach

One lady said she got a deep scratch on her leg. Apparently the humane society won’t deal with these dangerous critters; only dogs and cats. Our children aren't safe with the raccoons around. I understand it’s against the law to leave cat food on the porch. Won’t somebody do something against this problem? Carol Myers Tillamook

OUR VIEW

Domestic violence affects us all On Sept. 25 the Women’s Resource Center (WRC) will celebrate 30 years of service to local women in crisis. I had the opportunity to learn about the Women’s Resource Center and its history in the course of writing a story about the program. One thing I heard Mary Faith Bell from several women News Reporter who have been involved with the WRC over the years is how they’ve had to combat denial. Over and over they were told domestic violence (DV) doesn’t happen here, we don’t want to hear it because we don’t have that problem; there’s no such thing as sexual violence against children, so don’t even go there. I interviewed the WRC director, Kathleen Marvin, and she related the staggering statistic that one in three local women will be personally touched by domestic violence (DV) in her lifetime. In fact, she said that in her personal and professional experience, the number is probably closer to one in two; fully half of the women in the community have been impacted by DV. Do you want to know my first, instinctive reaction to those numbers? Denial. ‘That can’t be right,’ I thought. ‘That doesn’t apply to me. I’ve never been hit. One in two? That must be skewed.’ I listened politely and took notes while I was having my private doubts. But it only took a few moments of reflection before I recalled being stalked. About 20 years ago a man whom I dated a few times stalked me. It started after I told him I didn’t want to see him anymore. He followed me in his truck; I would look in my rearview mirror and there he’d be, everywhere, any time, almost daily. He called me incessantly, hundreds of hang up calls. He came to my work more than once. I hoped he would grow tired of it and quit,

but it went on for weeks, and it affected my job. This was before Oregon enacted antistalking laws, and I was advised that he was not committing any crimes. I had an attorney send him a letter demanding that he cease and desist. He escalated. A few days later, I came home and found a splitting maul with a condom rolled down over the handle propped against my front door. I called the police. Sheriff’s deputies in Yamhill County came and took my report. They said they knew him. They went to his house and talked to him and told him to stop bothering me. Next he left a hand-carved wooden penis in my mailbox. The Sheriff’s deputies came out again and took the phallus as evidence. They talked to him again. My brother went to his house and told him to leave me alone. Then I came home and found the window in my bedroom pushed open as far as it would go, which was only a few inches because I had a piece of wood in the runner so the window couldn’t be opened wide. He had stuffed sticks and leaves and rocks through the two-inch opening, where they fell on my bed. I came home to woody debris covering my pillows. I called the police. They came out again, and asked me if I had a gun, and if I knew how to use it. They talked to me about my legal rights to defend myself with deadly force. I got a couple of guns and I learned to use them. Before that, I never would have pictured myself holding a gun; but over the months that the stalking went on, I was so changed by fear that I started imagining myself killing him. That was the worst of it for me: the constant fear, and the ways that it changed me. The nights I sat outside my house alone in the dark, afraid to get out of the car. The nights I couldn’t sleep, imagining I heard something outside; the murderous rage that

Group hopes to revive CENTER: Continued from Page A1 Tillamook Lions Club BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Marilou Bowman of Rockaway Beach and Walt Trandum of Wheeler are on a mission — to reestablish the Tillamook Lions Club. The club, chartered in 1926, disbanded in June 2011 due to declining membership. “We had a really good Lions Club in Tillamook, but it dwindled,” Bowman said. Trandum agreed. “20 years ago it was real active, go-getting. I blame the change in demographics,” he said. “Small business was big” back then, he said. Their first organizing meeting was held Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Pancake House in Tillamook. It was small, Bowman said. “We’re still trying to get more people.” A number of former Tillamook Lions said they’d re-join if the Tillamook club was re-started, she said. A second meeting is planned for Tuesday, Sept. 25,

at 6 p.m., also at the Pancake House. The new Tillamook club, if formed, would start out as a branch of the Rockaway Lions, which Trandum said is one of the most active Lions Clubs in the state. The Rockaway club wouldn’t share bank accounts with its Tillamook “branch,” but the new Tillamook club would have the backing of a big number of members, Trandum said. “It’s being done in other parts of the country.” A branch Lions Club could be started with just a few members, Bowman and Trandum said. “But there’s got to be one or two key people who want to charge in and make it happen. I think there are some of those people here” in Tillamook, Trandum said. “The Lions have a lot to offer communities,” Trandum continued. “It’s too bad this community (Tillamook) isn’t getting the services.”

It wasn’t always so. Thirty years ago, when the WRC began, it was a group of five women who wanted to do something to help local women in crisis. Two women from the early days of the WRC are Marilyn Jones and Pat McGrath. Marilyn was one of the original five board member/volunteers. A survivor of a 10-year marriage to a batterer, Marilyn got out, and she wanted to help other women do the same. “I used to tell myself that if I could just get out safely, I would do everything in my power to make sure someone else would not have to go through what I did.” Jones says that she has now been happily married for 30 years to the “most wonderful man in the world.” But when she left her first husband she recalls “sleeping sitting up on the couch with a loaded gun. I wanted women who were experiencing abuse in their homes to have a safe place to go in the middle of the night.” The early WRC was more like a volunteer brigade. “A couple of us took women in crisis into our own homes because there was no where else for them to go.” They were thrilled when they started contracting with local motels for lodging for battered women and their children. Denial was the constant headwind the WRC struggled against. “I had a coffee meeting with the police chief when we were getting started. He told me, ‘Your message will not be well received here. The community will just think you’re a bunch of man-hating lesbians.’

After a community presentation, she recalls being approached by a lifetime Tillamook resident from one of the old families who told her, ‘I’ve never heard of anything like that happening here. And I know everyone who lives here, so if that were going on I would know it.’ That’s what we were up against,” she recalled. Pat McGrath was the first paid director of the WRC. She was hired to work half time in a grant-funded position. “We had a tiny upstairs office, a phone and a secretary who worked a few hours a week. That was it. I had been a volunteer in a crisis center/shelter in Tacoma. Together the board and I learned to write grants. Then we put an ad in the paper asking for volunteers. “No one even knew how to train volunteers. But 25 volunteers showed up for that first training. We were floored. We didn’t expect that kind of turnout at all. “I wrote the word ‘feminist’ on the board and asked, who knows what this means? No one raised a hand. So I wrote the definition: ‘People who work for the financial, sexual and social equality of women.’ “Then everyone raised their hands. But no one even knew what the word meant when I asked; that’s where we started from.” “It remains true: the only real solution to the problem of DV is equality for women; if a man treats his wife as his equal, he won’t beat her up.” “Our dream,” said McGrath of the early WRC, “was to have a shelter. And now we

was building inside me. The siege finally ended when my brother threatened the guy. It turned out my stalker was entertaining himself by terrorizing me, but when someone bigger and madder scared him, he disappeared into the woodwork. That’s my personal experience with DV. As I sat in Kathleen Marvin’s office, I realized that not only am I among the one of two women touched by DV in their lifetimes, I know dozens of other women who have been, too. I don’t know why this was such an epiphany to me. Maybe because I don’t think of myself as a victim, and when I think of DV, I picture men who beat their wives and women who live with them; but there are a lot of different kinds of violence against women and children. I have seen bruises on the faces of two women in my family. One of them looked like a boxer after a fight, swollen and wrong-colored, lips split and bloody. She wouldn’t say what happened to her, but I knew she’d been on a blind date the night before. After that she spiraled into a suicidal depression. The other one “ran into a wall” while she was involved with a man who was prone to jealous rages. A pedophile uncle molested and raped girl children in my mother’s generation. A girl in my generation was molested by a family friend. One of my best friends lived with a batterer. I had the unsettling experience sitting in Kathleen Marvin’s office of stepping through the veil of my own denial about DV. I’ll bet she’s right that one in two local women have been affected by DV in our lifetimes. That means that if it hasn’t happened to you personally, it has happened to people you know. And if we think ‘this doesn’t apply to me,’ maybe we just need to think again.

finally do. But it took a long, long time.” In between, the WRC did whatever they had to do to shelter women in crisis, but it wasn’t easy. “Boy, did we have a hard time trying to keep people safe – there’s no such thing as a secret in Tillamook County.” McGrath reflected, “Beyond saving lives, which is the most important thing we did, it really changed those of us who were doing the work. It transformed us into more graceful, dignified and effective communicators. It taught us assertive communication skills, and we, in turn, taught assertiveness to women in the community.” Kathleen Marvin has a vision for the future of the WRC: “Thirty years from now, I hope that we will be financially sustainable, and doing more teaching about healthy relationships.” There are a lot of ways to support the WRC, including many and varied opportunities to volunteer. The center has volunteer training sessions for all kinds of jobs from receptionist to crisis hotline volunteer.

Senior and Disability Services celebrates 30 years NorthWest Senior and Disability Services (NWSDS) of Tillamook is celebrating the agency’s 30 year anniversary with an open house Sept. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the NWSDS office, 5010 East Third St. in Tillamook. Joe Rust is a client of NWSDS, and the Headlight Herald had the pleasure of visiting with him in the adult foster home where he lives in Garibaldi. Joe, 91, was born in Cloverdale, and his family moved to Tillamook when he was 10. They had a farm on Makinster Road, where his niece and her husband still live. The Rusts had a dairy, about 40 cows. Joe worked on the farm until 1967, and then moved to town. He worked at the TCAA feed store, and the planer mill out near the air base.

MCMURRIN: McMurrin had everything going for him. This time he didn’t throw it all away with cocaine; instead, he started gambling. “I poured my heart and soul into work,” he said. “But with the blessings of that business came a lot of responsibility. Over time, the business and making money became my priority. God took second place. “I began to go to the casino after work on Saturdays for relaxation. I had some early good winnings, a couple of thousand bucks.” If McMurrin’s gambling was recreational in the beginning, it quickly escalated into a compulsion. “I spent hours and hours, sometimes all night learning the games and playing them. I studied blackjack and I became good at it. I realized I could make money playing blackjack, and I started to think of it as a second job.” One of the great dangers to recovering addicts is switching addictions. When an addict gambles, their brains manufacture pleasure chemicals that they then become addicted to; those neuro-chemicals become the substitute for other drugs, such as cocaine, for example. “When the times were good at the table, there’s something that I call being in the zone. It is a great feeling. When I came home with $10,000, or $18,000 and handed an envelope to my wife, it was a feeling of success.” But he didn’t always win, and both the financial losses and the weekends at the casino took a toll on his marriage. McMurrin’s wife, Dawn, said that sometimes he was gone up to three days in a row. She wouldn’t hear from him, and she had to cover for him at work, telling his customers he was out on a service call. McMurrin switched to online gambling to keep the peace at home. But in one episode he racked up $10,000 in credit card gambling debt. That was a turning point mentally. He became driven by losses, always chasing that debt and others behind it, trying to recoup his losses and get back into the black. At this point, McMurrin started to drink heavily. “Gambling was the addiction that was running me,” said McMurrin, “and alcohol was the medicine that took away my pain and shame. But that makes it worse, because alcohol impairs judgment.” McMurrin recognized that he had a gambling problem, and he quit gambling between 2003 and 2005. “But I missed the game, I missed playing. I told myself that I should be able to play a game of blackjack, I should be able to have a drink… I told myself I’d just enter a couple of tournaments.” And that relapse led to his undoing. McMurrin made rules for himself, such as no drinking while gambling, and no gam-

They were friends and neighbors for eight years, so when Roxie opened an adult foster home and invited Joe to move in, he felt right at home. Joe has an NWSDS caseworker, Margot, who keeps track of him and sees that he has everything he needs. Adult foster care provides the opportunity for seniors to live in the community in a family setting, and receive the assistance they need. Senior meals, caregiver support, financial and medical assistance, in-home services and adult protective services are offered by NWSDS.

McMurrin’s apology to his victims “I don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity to apologize to all of my victims. I wrote letters of apology to all of them in jail, I wanted so badly to try to talk to all of them and apologize, but my attorney told me I couldn’t send the letters because it could constitute tampering with witnesses. “Now that the sentencing and restitution are concluded, I want to say that I am truly sorry for my actions. I’ve never been one to deliberately hurt anyone. However, no matter my state of mind at the time I must take responsibility. “To my victims, I am sorry for breaking your trust. I am sorry for causing damage, and I am sorry for causing inconvenience. “To Mr. Briggs, whom I attempted to rob, I am so sorry for you being put through such an ordeal. None of this should have happened. I am forever grateful to God that no one was hurt. “I hope that you all can forgive me.” – Marshall McMurrin

bling with credit cards, and no gambling with company money. Ultimately he broke all of his own rules. His personal debt was mounting steadily, his marriage was on the rocks, and his business was bleeding money. “The real kicker was when the economy tanked,” he said. “In 2008 and 2009 sales dropped 50 percent; then they dropped to 25 percent. My fear of losing the business combined with full blown drinking and gambling was the mixture for complete disaster. My gambling skyrocketed; that was what was going to save me.” From 2009 to 2011, McMurrin drank heavily and chased his gambling losses with more losses. Faced with looming bankruptcy, McMurrin turned to theft to finance more gambling. “The reason I even thought about the credit card fraud is that I was absolutely desperate. I came up with this crazy idea that I could ‘borrow’ from these peoples’ credit cards and use the money to gamble and bail out the business and pay off my debts with gambling profits. “That plan wasn’t working and I knew it. But I kept trying, even when I knew that I was going to lose my business. “I knew the only option I had left was to kill myself, so my wife could collect the insurance premium. I was losing my grip with reality, I was going crazy, but still, I researched my policy to make sure it wouldn’t be voided by suicide. It was a

“When the mill shut down, I retired,” he said. Joe has been a member of the Elks for 61 years, and he’s proud of it. He still enjoys tipping a few with his friends at the Elks. In his younger years, he may have been a carouser. “I used to do a little bar hopping,” he said. “I used to hit ‘em all. But they,” he nodded to Roxie Schultz, who runs the foster home where he lives, “won’t let me now,“ he said with a smile. It’s clear these two enjoy each other’s company.

“Wednesday, July 13 was the day I was going to die. I hadn’t slept for days. I didn’t want to die, but I knew I had to.” McMurrin planned to shoot himself on the beach in Lincoln City. “I left town and went to Lincoln City with two bottles of vodka. I’d been drinking heavily all day. The last memory I have is of me sitting in my car drinking. I was going to leave a last message for my family on a hand held recorder. “Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon, I have no memory of what transpired. The next thing I knew, I woke up and didn’t know how I’d gotten home. I didn’t remember where I’d left my car. I was walking around town, looking for my car. I was cutting through the old TLC parking lot when the Sheriff’s Office showed up. There were about eight deputies with their guns pulled, yelling at me to get down. “I was thinking, Wow, this is a lot of manpower for credit card fraud. “I had no idea what I was being arrested for until I got to jail.” McMurrin claims to have experienced an alcohol-induced blackout – a period of amnesia in which the intoxicated person is conscious and ambulatory, often walking and talking and driving home, and less frequently, committing violent crimes. Later the person has no memory of what happened. Many, but not all alcoholics have blackouts. McMurrin had experienced blackouts before, “but always at home,” he said. “I would wake up in a different room, in different clothes, but never outside my home.” In fact, McMurrin drove from the parking lot in Lincoln City where he was going to shoot himself, to the Neskowin Market Place, where he attempted an armed robbery. “There’s no way I planned this robbery,” he said. “I

Redemption McMurrin believes that God saved his life by preventing him from killing himself, and preventing him from killing anyone else. “God rescued me from certain death. He used this jail to save my life. God has done wonderful things for me here in jail, miraculous things. I now have a life full of purpose and meaning.” McMurrin was on suicide watch when he arrived in jail. “Radical change occurred in cell 305, where I got on my knees and begged God to come into my life.” He also credits his wife, Dawn, for her continued love and support. “My poor wife could have and should have left me,” he said. “For the pain and the shame that I caused her and the kids, she had to deal with all of the aftermath: loss of income,

bankruptcy, house foreclosure, loss of property, vehicles, loss after loss after loss; she had to get three part-time jobs to get by. “I said to her, ‘Honey, you need to move on.’ But she wouldn’t have it.” McMurrin got choked up talking about his wife. “She is a wonderful woman. Our relationship in here is closer than it has ever been.” Dawn believes McMurrin is in jail and not dead by God’s design. “I prayed for years, ‘God, whatever it takes, bring him back to You.’ Well if this is what it takes…God knew there was only one place Marshall could go to focus on what was important,” she said. “This sickness of his nearly took his life. Gambling is a sickness like alcohol and drugs, and it can take you to a very dark place. People with addictions don’t want to be addicted. “I want people to know that there’s hope,” said Dawn. “That there is nothing so bad that you have to take your life.” Dave Westmark, director of the local chapter of Celebrate Recovery (CR), also believes McMurrin is a changed man. “I met Marshall a few days after he went to jail, he came to a CR meeting,” Westmark said. CR is a faith-based 12-step program for recovery from all kinds of addictions. “It’s interesting how jail can wake some people up,” said Westmark, who takes CR meetings into the jail. “I have observed a tremendous change in Marshall. He is probably at the most sane time in his life. “Marshall’s had a huge impact on a number of inmates in the jail. You can see his concern and his care for them.” Westmark visits McMurrin weekly, and helped him work through the 12 steps. “I’m so proud of him and the changes he’s made in the 400-plus days he’s been in jail. He’s taken the time and made something of it and turned his life around.” Westmark believes McMurrin has a higher calling.

“He has talent, a pastor’s heart. He’s started working on a three-year course to become a pastor. I’m excited for him, to think that he has a tremendous story to tell and can reach others that are out of reach to most.” Westmark also praised Dawn McMurrin for her devotion to her husband. “When Marshall first came to jail, I went to see Dawn. She told me she didn’t know how she would make it, or how their marriage could survive. But they have a very strong relationship today, based upon their mutual faith.” “I’m pleased about how the Lord’s at work in his life,” said McMurrin’s pastor from the Blaine Community Church, Linton Whittles. “I’m sorry for what he did, but it took him being in this situation, between a rock and a hard place, for his transformation to occur. It reminds me of the scripture from Genesis (50:20) where Joseph says, ‘You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.’”

planned the credit card thefts. I did that and I admit it. But I did not plan that robbery and I have no memory of it. I would never point a gun at anyone.” But in fact he did point a loaded gun at Anthony Briggs, who was working at the store when McMurrin tried to rob it. Briggs resisted. The two fought over the gun, and ultimately, Briggs took it away from McMurrin and tried to shoot him with it, twice. But the magazine had been released from the gun in the struggle, and the gun didn’t fire. McMurrin fled the store. “It’s an act of God that he and I didn’t get hurt,” McMurrin said. “I am grateful every day that no one got hurt. Not only with the loaded gun, but also, I was driving a 4-ton vehicle and I was obviously blitzed. It is a miracle I didn’t hurt anyone.” Regardless of his inability to remember it, the evidence was conclusive; McMurrin had attempted an armed robbery. And when that failed, he broke into Tillamook Sporting Goods and stole a handgun. He says he has no memory of that, either. “It makes no sense that I would break in there, in broad daylight, and be caught on camera, right before people were scheduled to start work. It’s crazy. I drove a Hummer. People saw me driving around town. Apparently after the burglary I went through the McDonald’s drive-thru and had some breakfast. Who does that? I don’t remember it, but the receipt was in the car. There’s no way I planned any of that, but I have no defense. I did it.”

Then, Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright started to investigate the credit card thefts. Wright interviewed McMurrin, who lied and put him off. But McMurrin knew that Wright could be back to arrest him at any time.

Celebration held for new library mural BY JULIUS JORTNER For the Headlight Herald

PACIFIC CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The mural, in the childrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area of the public library in Pacific City, was recently pronounced complete by local artist Marilyn Burkhardt. She started painting the mural in February. About sixty people gathered at the library on Wednesday evening, September 12th, to celebrate the new mural that was donated to the library by the Nestucca Valley Artisans, (NVA). Each of the two panels is 13 feet wide and more than four feet high. The president of the South Tillamook County Library Club, which owns and operates the library building, opened the formal part of the celebration by noting that the Library Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board had been delighted in January of this year to receive the proposal of the mural, and that the board now thanks the artist and the Nestucca Valley Artisans for the gorgeous gift. The artist, Marilyn Burkhardt, a longtime resident of Hebo, spoke about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pristine beauty and the wildlifeâ&#x20AC;? that inspired her design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pacific Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the rivers, the ocean, the spit, the Cape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make this a rich habitat for all kinds of flora and fauna. It seems to me that the people who live here appreciate and want to preserve this diversity of life.â&#x20AC;? Burkhardt said she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;honored to have had the opportunity to paint this mural in this very special library built for and by the community.â&#x20AC;?

Sara Charlton, director of Tillamook Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public library system, spoke of her joy at learning of the plans for the mural, and her appreciation for its beauty. She ventured, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great when the right person comes alongâ&#x20AC;Ś Marilynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is perfect for these walls.â&#x20AC;? Catherine Rickbone, Executive Director of the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, based in Newport, sent a message that was read aloud. She wrote, in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś since the early 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Nestucca Valley Artisans have made a commitment to youth arts education in the Nestucca Valley schools... With the decision to create this public piece of artwork their influence can now reach literally thousands of youth and adults in the years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murals, especially, can have a dramatic impactâ&#x20AC;Ś A mural can establish a dialogue in the community and remind us of our heritage, our surroundings, and our environment.â&#x20AC;? Rickbone concluded by thanking the

Each year Faith in Action also honors an individual or family that has experienced the challenges and rewards of care giving. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honoree is Dorothy Churchill, whose first contact with Faith in Action was when a volunteer assisted her with special exercises at home while she recovered from a stroke. Now Dorothy is a regular guest at Wellspring Respite Day Center, where she enjoys being pampered with love by the volunteers and shares her sweet smile and encouraging spirit with everyone around her. Walk of Faith is for everyone, from babies in stroller to families and groups to individuals in wheelchairs. Family dogs are welcomed to participate, as they are great com-

panions and often caregivers, too. Festivities and awards will include honoring of caregivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; human and canine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as awards for the bestbehaved dogs. The first 20 dogs will receive a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;doggie bagâ&#x20AC;? filled with treats donated by local businesses and individuals. Pre-registration is encouraged. Registration forms are available at area churches, in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front lobby and online at TCGH.com. Registration fees: Children under 12 years $5; dogs (leash required) $5; individuals $10; families, including the dog $25; groups of 10+ for $100. There is no charge for participants in strollers or wheelchairs and their attendants. Faith in Action volunteers offer hope, support, and friendship to the frail and elderly and people of all ages who battle chronic illness, mental illness, and disabilities through: in-home respite care, friendly visiting, house work, yard work, and minor home repairs. Faith in Action also operates Wellspring, an adult respite day care center that offers an affordable â&#x20AC;&#x153;day awayâ&#x20AC;? for caregivers 8 days per month at various Tillamook churches. For information about Faith in Action, call 503-815-2272.

Nestucca Valley Artisans for their gift of public art. Theresa Roberts, lead librarian in Pacific City, told of her fascination watching the muralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress over more than six months, of her delight to talk with Marilyn when their paths crossed at the library, and of her pleasure at seeing the finished work. Laura Marcus, assistant librarian, also spoke, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś the painting puts a smile on my face.â&#x20AC;? After the speeches, the crowd socialized, partook of the refreshments, to a background of music provided by Rod Whaley (guitar and harmonica) and Noreen Flynn (drums). There was some dancing. Burkhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original paper sketch for the mural was on display. Refreshments included cookies provided with compliments of The Grateful Bread. Kim Cavatorta, director of Tillamook Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Arts Project, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful that so many people turned out to celebrate public art.â&#x20AC;? Kate Saunders, a member of the NVA, called the mural â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspirational.â&#x20AC;? Ginny Rasmussen of Hebo spoke for many there, when she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful work!â&#x20AC;? Several people remarked on the happy way the muralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colors complement the colors of the library walls and furnishings. Dorothy Godett, a member of the Library Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, wrote in the guest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The library needed this! Thanks!â&#x20AC;?

Mook’s stiff defense shuts down Newport running game BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The fog hung low as the Cheesemakers went through their pregame warm up before battling the Newport Cubs in Newport on Sept. 14. The Cubs were expected to be a very good team going into the game and Tillamook knew they’d have their hands full if they didn’t bring their best effort. Good thing for Tillamook they left their second-best effort on the bus and brought their A-game, beating the Cubs 20-7 to move to 2-1 on the season. “It was a great win on Friday night for us,” said Tillamook Head Coach Matt Dickson. “It’s a big momentum boost. League starts in two weeks and this was just what we needed to keep the energy up and the motivation to keep working hard in practice.” The game was a hard hitting, defensive grind for the most part with Tillamook linebackers Ron Allen and Jordan Thompson stuffing the Cubs’ running attack at or just past the line of scrimmage. David

Waud, Marcus Cheney and Myron Moore were also exceptional on defense. If they weren’t hurrying a passing play or stopping a run, they’d be knocking down passes or covering a route out of the backfield. “They couldn’t really run the ball up the middle on us and so they started trying to pass the ball,” said senior linebacker Jordan Thompson in a post game interview. “Our linebackers tore it up tonight.” Thompson wasn’t exaggerating about the Cheesemaker defense. Tillamook gave up a total of 55 yards on 22 carries in the game for a measly 2.5 yards-per-carry average. The Cubs’ defense slowed the Tillamook offense as well, so it was fitting that the first score of the game came with 10:25 left in the second quarter. Thompson and Brock Lorenzo simultaneously sacked the Newport quarterback, causing him to fumble the football. Lorenzo scooped up the loose ball and ran 45 yards untouched to give Tillamook a 7-0 lead after the extra point. The Newport defense struck next, blocking a Tillamook punt followed

by a 23-yard touchdown pass over the middle two plays later to tie the game up at 7. The Cheesemaker offense got rolling after the Newport score, marching the ball down the field on the legs of Jacob Wassmer and Cole Berge. But it was quarterback Matt Strang who called his own number on fourth-and-goal from the five and ran his way into the end zone to give Tillamook a 14-7 lead with 59-seconds left in the first half. Newport tried a quick passing attack in the second half and was successful at moving the ball, but every time they’d get something going, a Cheesemaker would make a huge play and Tillamook would get the ball back. With 2:20 left in the third Tillamook's Jacob Wassmer kept his legs moving and pushed the pile into the end zone to give Tillamook a 20-7 lead. Those may have been the hardest 2-yards Wassmer had all night, but it certainly wasn't his only two. He finished the game with an impressive 123 yards on the ground.

Berge, Lorenzo and Thompson also added some tough yards up the middle to keep the Cubs’ defense honest and not straight rushing Strang at quarterback. “Jacob Wassmer had a big night,” Dickson said. “He was a big part of our game plan to pound the football and keep the linebackers from stunting all the time.” The Tillamook defense wasn't about to give back their lead and they continued to pound the Cubs offense until Newport had nothing left. Tillamook got the big win, 20-7 and more than just helping the win column, they boosted their confidence through the roof. The Cheesemakers will play their final nonleague game of the season on Sept. 21 when they host the visiting 0-3 Taft Tigers. The game will start at 7 p.m. More game photos and video available at tillamookheadlightherald.com

The Nestucca Bobcats football team started their season with an offensive explosion against the Waldport Irish, lighting them up for 42 points in the game and only giving up 12. It’s difficult to determine after one week if your team is really as good as the scoreboard reflects or maybe it was that Waldport was having a bad game or isn’t very good at all. Well, when the Bobcats traveled to Corbett on Sept. 14, they made a statement. The Bobcats were for real. It was no joke against Waldport. They’re simply a very good football team if they play like they can. They did that against Corbett too, beating the Cardinals worse than they’d beaten the Irish, 44-12. It took the Bobcats a while to get going against Corbett. With 10 minutes left in the second quarter, neither team had scored. That was when a lightning strike flashed across the sky resulting in a 20-minute game delay until it passed. Once the threat was over, the Bobcats retook the field, but it was as if they had somehow been energized by the lightning. “Just when we needed a long timeout to regroup, we got lucky,” said Bobcat Head Coach Jeff Schiewe. “They were on our end of the field about the 15-yard line ready to punch it in and we got a big stop. Then we took off.” The Bobcats offense exploded. An 85yard touchdown run from Zack Welch, big runs from Sam Whiteman and Drace Moeller and even a touchdown scamper from 28-yards out from Max Kirkendall all came in short order. There’s no saying what it was about the lightning delay that set the Bobcats on fire, but there no question something sparked the team. “The kids executed well in the last couple series and the defense was playing so well, I just didn’t want to get all conservative,” Schiewe said. “I wanted to attack and maybe get something out of it.” The ‘Cats got more than something out of it. They got a lot. When it was all said and done, the Bobcats rustled up 202 yard rushing between four ball carriers. They had a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown from Ronnie Moffett who also blocked a punt deep in Cardinal territory, a Lucas Leslie 10-yard touchdown reception as well as a 35-yard Jade Downs touchdown reception.

Girls soccer gets their first win of the season, 8-0

BY JOSIAH DARR

Headlight Herald Sports

There aren’t many other fisheries I get excited about more than Tillamook fall chinook season. They’re big, they’re strong, they’re occasionally very aggressive and most importantly, for a few weeks a year, they’re absolutely everywhere! So far this year things are looking good and to make things even better, the projected returns this year are higher than average. “Tillamook Bay is expecting somewhere around 13,000 fall chinook to make it back to their spawning grounds this year,” said ODFW District Fish Biologist Chris Knutson. “Those expectations are post-harvest so we’re looking at a better fishery than we’ve had in the last four to five years. “From what I hear, the guys near the jaws are doing well already and the guys in the middle and upper bay are anxiously waiting.” Knutson isn’t the only one seeing early results. “We’re checking a substantial amount of fish,” said State Police Sergent in the Fish and Wildlife Division Todd Hoodenpyl. “It’s a great start to the season. I just ask that everyone make sure they can identify the difference between a coho and a chinook.” For questions about identifying the species, refer to the ODFW website at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ This season, there will be another open season on wild coho in Tillamook Bay, but this year it’s different than it was last year. This season fisherman are allowed to harvest one wild coho out of Tillamook Bay or Nestucca Bay this season, but they’re only allowed to do so on Fridays or Saturdays until Nov. 30 or until 1,000 coho have been harvested.

The Tillamook Lady Cheesemakers soccer team were looking for their first win of the season when they hosted Newort on Sept. 12. The girls program as a whole hasn’t been overly strong in the past which is what made their 8-0 victory over the Cubs so huge for the team. “The girls played phenomenally,” said THS Girls Soccer Coach Deah Christensen. “Our midfield scored six of our eight goals in the game and a lot of them came from beautiful passes from the wings. “It was everything we’ve been practicing and we went out there and did it.” The first two goals of the game came early on for the Lady Mooks and were both scored by last year’s goalie and this season’s mid fielder, Sara Jo Wilson. “Sara Jo playing in the field and scoring those goals

Fishermen are allowed to harvest two per year out of the Nehalem system as well, but no more than two and only one out of Tillamook and the Nestucca combined. Personally, I’m glad to see the allowable harvest. It just shows how far the fish have come in their recovery after being listed as endangered a short time ago. And to those who are upset about only being allowed one a year or only having retention allowed only on Fridays or Saturdays I say, it’s a lot better than not being allowed to harvest one at all. If you’re thinking about getting into some fall chinook fishing around Tillamook, it’s time to start thinking about it. You might not be interested in sloshing around the jaws and picking weeds off your gear all day, but you shouldn’t have to wait long. Once some rain comes the season should really pick up and with the high predictions, there should be fish all over.

Lady Mooks stay undefeated Headlight Herald Sports

The Tillamook volleyball team continued to roll when they took on the Newport Cubs at home on Sept. 11. The girls kept their undefeated streak alive through the early season by beating the

Cubs 25-11, 25-6 and 25-8 in three straight sets, extending their undefeated season to 5-0. The Lady Cheesemakers will start their Cowapa League schedule against the Scappoose Indians in Tillamook at 7 p.m. on Sept. 20.

inspired the team,” Christensen said. “The girls were beside themselves to just have scored. They hadn’t even really thought about winning the game. They don’t have that confidence in themselves yet, but with every goal we score, we get a little more.” Also scoring goals in the game for Tillamook were Kim Poblador who scored two, Araceli Palominos, Nara Romero and Graciela Macias. Making possibly the biggest impact on the team with her ability was keeper Ashlynn Sheneman. Sheneman stepped in as keeper freeing up Wilson to play in the field and making some big saves herself. One of her best so far on the season was a diving stop on a penalty kick in the first half against Newport. “Our communication and spreading the field was so much better in the game and when they got the ball they

didn’t just kick it down the field. They passed with a purpose,” Christensen said. “I can feel the team starting to come together.” Tillamook @ Madras After getting their first win and equaling last season’s win total, the girls traveled to Madras to take on the Buffalo on Sept. 15. “It was a great game for us, but the heat and humidity killed us,” Christiansen said. “We really drooped in the second half.” Before the heat got to them in the first half, the girls were right there with Madras. Tillamook got two goals from Shyanne Bellante and allowed two by Madras to fight to a tie at half. But, an injury didn’t help Tillamook. “In the middle of the first half our keeper, Ashlynn Sheneman, took a bad hit in a collision and was out for the game,” Christensen explained.

“Sara Jo had to come play goalie for the rest of the game and we really missed her on the field in the second half.” Madras controlled most of the second half, scoring two more goals to get the win, 4-2. “We just couldn’t clear the ball,” Christensen said. “Not having Sarah Jo hurt, but we had multiple chances to score anyway, but were unable to ever quite get the ball in the back of the net.” “I am incredibly encouraged and proud of the effort against Madras. We have more potential everyday and we’re slowly gaining confidence even in our losses. “We used to lose without scoring at all. At least we’re getting a few goals in our loss and a lot more chances.” The next game for the Lady ‘Mooks will be 4 p.m. game at Taft on Sept. 19 followed by their first Cowapa League game at Seaside starting at 7 p.m. on Sept. 25.

Sickness and heat hush Pirates Tillamook Gun Club hosts 111 shoorters The Neah-Kah-Nie It’s hard not to blame from around the NW at WRITA Grand Pirates football team made the Pirates for not wanting the eight hour journey to Medford, Ore. to take on St. Mary’s in an afternoon game on Sept. 15. While it was a great idea to have a fun road trip as a team and play on a beautiful fall afternoon day, it wasn’t exactly all fun and football for the Pirates. “It was like out entire team was sick all week before the game with the crud,” said Pirate Head Coach Scott Ross. “It usually goes through the team at least a once sometime in the season. This was it. We were really short handed.” “Besides most my team being sick, we estimated the temperature on the field to be between 95 and 100 degrees. Our coastal boys don’t do well in that kind of dry heat.” It didn’t take the heat and the sickness long to its work. St Mary’s scored three touchdowns in the first quarter to get out to an early 19-0 lead and according to Ross, that was pretty much the beginning of the end for the Pirates. “Our guys were gassed after the first quarter,” Ross said. “They just wanted out of there.”

‘CATS:

to play. Their team only brought 16 players because of the sickness, three of which had never played a varsity football game. Plus, one of the top Pirates, Craig Grasseth, was out with heat exhaustion by the end of the first quarter. Between the inexperience and a lack of players, the Pirates were sitting ducks. They did manage to get some offense on a 5-yard touchdown run from Shonte Young and a 24yard receiving touchdown from Laird Tuel, but it was too little, too late. St. Mary’s got the lopsided win, 50-16. “If we played them in different circumstances I think we give them a battle,” Ross said. “But with the limited players we had available, we did all we could. “Now we have to concentrate on getting healthy for next week’s game against a good Central Linn team.” The Pirates will host Central Linn in Rockaway Beach on Sept. 21 in a game starting at 7 p.m.

On Sept. 14-16 the Tillamook Gun Club hosted the Western Regional Independent Trap Shooting Association (WRITA) Grand trap shooting event at the trap shooting range on South Prairie Road. 111 participants came to the event to from all over the northwest to test their skills against other shooters to see who would be named the top shooters in the region and who would claim the prize money. “Last year it was the biggest shoot in the state of Oregon,” said Newberg Rod and Gun Club President David Craig “I don’t know if it will be the biggest this year, but if it’s not, it will be close.” The WRITA Grand is the last of an 11 tournament circuit the shooters can participate in that are hosted by various shooting clubs around the state of Oregon. The WRITA Grand is rotated between the ten clubs and this year was Tillamook’s turn to host big event. “We hold a little money back from the other ten events to help with the prize money for this event,” Craig said. “There’s about $10,000 up for grabs today.” There are multiple divisions based on age and gender to keep

the playing field even, but regardless of what division participants are in, there’s no shortage of shooting throughout the day. To get an idea of how much shooting takes place at the event, according to Craig somewhere around 30,000 clay pigeons will be launched at the event. With that much shooting, people who don’t participate in trap shooting may think there is some danger involved in the sport, but Craig says that couldn’t be further from the truth. “Trap shooting is incredibly safe,” Craig said. “If you ever put more than one shell in a gun at a time, you’re disqualified and if you ever move from your station without opening the action of the gun, you’re also disqualified.” Some may think think that there are some top shooter who win every event, but according to Craig, it’s anybody’s event. “One unique thing about this event is that on any given day, anyone can win.”

Things went well for the Bobcats on both sides of the ball and Coach Schiewe knows what his team was doing right to be successful. “The defense played well all game,” Schiewe said. “Our special teams and our punt blocking was better than their punting. We’re balanced on offense and Kirkendall’s passing efficiency is making us better. Austin Woods is doing a good job leading our defense from his spot at free safety and Welch played an all around great game. We were getting blocked punts, interceptions, tackles for losses, recovered fumbles and we ran the ball well.” What’s a little misleading is despite all the offensive and defensive skill players making big plays and beautiful touchdown

scores coming in a multitude of fashions, Coach Schiewe knows the one thing his team needs to do well to win football games and it’s something you get the least amount of notoriety for. But it often means the most to a team. “Blocking is still our number one priority,” Schiewe said. “When that all comes together, that will lead to success. The problem is, it’s the hardest skill to learn.” The Bobcats will have a week to really polish their playbook due to a bye week next week. But when they get back they’ll have to travel to a traditionally very good Warrenton Warriors field for their final test before the Northwest League get underway. The game at Warrenton will start at 7 p.m. on Sept. 28.

Hunting season reminders from ODFW and OSP With hunting season kicking into gear, the Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division and the Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) provide the following reminders and tips to keep your outdoor adventures memorable and trouble free: * Oregon Disabilities Hunting Permit Information - Bag limits have changed in many of the Wildlife Management Units; particularly in regards to the harvest of antlerless deer, and in some cases antlerless elk. Many units now only allow subjects with Disabilities Permits to harvest legal bucks or bulls. Refer to page 88 of the 2012 Oregon Big Game Regulations Every hunting season law enforcement officers deal with many trespassing complaints because hunters go onto property without considering or knowing ownership, or they think it's permissible to trespass when tracking a wounded animal or retrieving an animal from the other side of a property boundary or fence. REMEMBER: It is the responsibility of any hunter to know whose property they are on. Hunters need to contact the landowner and ask for permission prior to entering private property. The landowner has the right to deny access. * Hunter Orange - Oregon requires youth hunters age 17 and under to wear hunter orange when hunting all game mammals and upland birds (except turkey) with any firearm. It's also strongly recommended for adults, too. * Tagging and Possession - Oregon law requires hunters who harvest an animal to immediately validate the appropriate tag by completely removing the month and day the animal was harvested and securely attaching the tag to a portion of the ani-

mal. * Please be Careful with Fire - Practice fire safety at all times. This year has been a busy fire season so be aware of any fire restrictions for the area you intend to hunt. You wouldn't want to lose your home to a fire, and neither does the wildlife that call Oregon's outdoors their home. Check with the land manager and see Oregon Department of Forestry's webpage on private lands access and phone numbers of local districts to check fire restrictions. * Respect Road Closures - Road closures are in place to conserve wildlife and improve the hunting experience. It's very important to respect closures on private land so access to hunters remains open. * Report Wildlife Violations - You can help protect Oregon's wildlife and natural resources by reporting violations. If you observe someone violating the law in the field please call the Turn in Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-452-7888. Helpful information includes the date, time, location, type of violation, a description of the subject(s), and any information if a vehicle is involved, including a license plate number if possible. Rewards may be offered for information leading to the prosecution of violators through the TIP Reward Fund sponsored by the Oregon Hunter's Association. * Alcohol & Firearms Don't Mix - Many hunting accidents in Oregon each year are preventable, and alcohol is often a factor in these incidents. Wait to celebrate your daily hunting adventures at the end of the day when weapons are safely secured at home or in camp. Always remember and practice basic firearms safety: - Keep your firearm's muzzle pointed in a safe direction. - Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until ready to shoot. - Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. - Be sure of your target and what is in front of it and beyond it. - Wear blaze orange.

COURTESY PHOTO

This beautiful quilt, made by Pat Lay, will be raffled at the Neskowin Valley School Harvest Festival.

NESKOWIN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The students, parents and teachers of Neskowin Valley School invite the community to join them for the 30th annual Harvest Festival, Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the school on 10005 Slab Creek Road (north of Lincoln City via Hwy 101, just south of Neskowin). NVS parents promise a full day of fun with live music, home-baked goods, fresh pressed apple cider, a silent auction, artisan vendors, old-fashioned kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

activities, a petting zoo, juggling by Laura Green the Juggling Queen and tasty treats from the Slab Creek Grill. Harvest Festival is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the pre-K through 8th grade elementary school, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary as an independent school on the Oregon Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping for a great crowd this year to help us celebrate,â&#x20AC;? says Head of School Julie Fiedler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our parents have dreamed up

Fall 4-H Leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Forum fast approaching The fall 4-H Leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Forum for volunteers is scheduled for October 5-6 at the Oregon 4-H Center, near Salem. This is an educational opportunity for all Tillamook County 4-H families, and the Tillamook County 4-H Leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association will reimburse registration fees. Individuals do not need to be approved 4-H volunteers to attend this educational opportunity. Teens are welcome to attend, for the purpose of learning then sharing these resources back home. Begin the 2012-2013 4-H year by sharing ideas with 4-H volunteers to apply in your club and county; gather resources to use; learn from experts across the state; talk about important youth protection issues you hear about in the news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and how they affect the Oregon 4-H program. (Ask questions about new policies.) Come and be inspired by the passion of 4-H volunteers helping Oregon youth learn and grow. Talk with old and new 4-H friends and celebrate the successes of 4-H volunteers during the Recognition Luncheon. The cost remains at $35 for lodging Friday evening, Friday dinner, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. Registration and registration fee are due Friday, Sept. 28, one week prior to the Forum. For registration information contact Nancy Kershaw at 503-8425708, Ext. 4 (direct line) | 503-842-3433 (main office) or nancy.kershaw@oregonstate.edu.

MELONIE FERGUSON 503-812-4242 mossroses@yahoo.com

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. Thanks to Ielean Rouse for word that Pacific City’s CPAC will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 in the great room at Kiwanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, in Pacific City. You may call her with questions or input, 503965-3600. Kay Saddler has been a busy lady over her summer vacation. Since being appointed the Ladies Auxiliary Department Cancer Aid & Research Chair she attended the June Department Convention in

North Bend; in July it was the National Convention in Reno, and then every weekend in August she was at a different location for the Schools of Instruction. Kay presented this year’s cancer program at Molalla, Redmond, Canyonville, Hermiston and Enterprise. Joining her was her husband Tom, who is a member of the VFW Men’s Auxiliary No. 4108. I appreciate her letting us know that Nestucca Valley Ladies Auxiliary has new leadership this year. Trudy Reusser was elected President, Karyn Bennett is the Secretary, and Kay Saddler is Treasurer. Meetings are still the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 4:30 p.m. The next meeting is next Wednesday, Sept. 19. For more information about events of the Ladies Auxiliary, email trudy@reussers.com or vfwa9611@gmail.com. Community Action Resource Enterprises (CARE), a helping agency serving Tillamook County residents, has rental assistance available to veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Please spread the word. If you may qualify, call to make a screening appointment with Theresa, 503-842-5261. Readers should note that Cloverdale Pharmacy’s drug department will be closed all day this Saturday, Sept. 22. The store and liquor store will be open for business as usual. Their Saturday hours are 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. That same morning, a high risk drinking coalition, focusing on prevention of alcohol abuse

in local 18-25 year olds, will meet from 9-11 a.m. in the library at Nestucca Valley Jr./Sr. High School, 34660 Parkway Drive in Cloverdale. All are welcome. As you may know, all proceeds from the Wild Flower Thrift Boutique (114 Main Street in Tillamook) benefit people in Tillamook County who are dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. Wednesday is Senior Discount Day, anyone 55 or older who spends over $10 gets a 20-percent discount. Did you know that the Wild Flower has an appliance renovation and resale program? They’ll pick up your used appliance/s (within County limits), working or not, for donation. Their certified repair technician refurbishes them, and the appliances are resold. It’s a win-win, and a great way to clear out something you no longer need, while helping others and getting a tax deduction. They also accept used furniture and donated vehicles, running or not, as long as a clear title is provided. So before you spend time, gas and money on a dump run, call the Wild Flower, 503-842-2996. Happy birthday this week to: Dale Baumgartner, Josh Boyce, Morgan Braun, Eric Carver, Nolan Dimmitt, Tom Donohue, Sid Fisher, Lynda Fletcher, Brandy Gearhart, Kim Green, Kristen Hagerty, Erik Hanson, Linda Hurliman, Lars Kellow, Ray Maack, David Park, Brian Slavens, Addison Spinar, Ray Streeter, Michelle Wallace and Bob Wilkinson.

Do you remember the infamous Columbus Day Storm? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the infamous Columbus Day Storm and the Headlight Herald would like to do a story about the storm in the words of local folks who remember it. If you lived through the Columbus Day Storm, we’d like to talk with you. Please contact Mary Faith Bell at mfbell@countrymedia.net, or 503842-7535.

t is so good to be back where I belong in Beautiful Bay City with all my friends! I was surprised nobody stepped up to write the Fencepost, so here I am again. I sure hope nobody minds reading my ramblings and newsworthy information again. I have had such a busy time here so far. I moved into a darling rental house with the Baertleins, Jane Erskine, and the Wustenbergs as my neighbors. I also met Brandon, a Coasty whose family lives just south of me in the new housing development. It is so great meeting new people in a different neighborhood here in town than where I was living before. Ranger is settling in nicely and thinks he is King of the Castle. Where I was living in

ami the Barber’s “Radiation Vacation” started early — this past Thursday. Her first “procedure” was Friday, in Portland. We’ll have updates. After last weekend’s rain, I heard from a bunch of people asking if that meant the burn ban was over. The answer is no, according to Fire Chief Jay Marugg. There has to be significant rain, he said. We haven’t had that yet. Fire danger is still “moderate,” according to State Forestry, and the burn ban remains in effect. No open burning. No burning in burn barrels. That could change by the end of the month, but it’s unlikely to change before then. I know the brush is piling up, folks, but be careful.

Featured Restaurant D ORYLAND P IZZA

ROCKAWAY BEACH

33315 Cape Kiwanda Dr. Pacific City (503) 965-6299

Doryland Pizza is the place to go for great food and a fun family atmosphere. Established from the remodeled Pacific City Boat Works building, built in the early 1960’s, Doryland retained the nautical atmosphere with its solid wood planked floors, brass accents and original charm of the dory building facility. To make your visit more enjoyable, a big screen high definition plasma TV and satellite radio have been added to enhance the dining room. With four televisions, you can watch sporting events or any of your other favorite shows while you enjoy our staff’s good cooking and service. Planning a party or family gathering? Doryland is just the place. We offer not only great pizza, but also a full salad bar, warm and delicious sandwiches, spaghetti beer and wine, free popcorn, and video games. Whether it’s a sporting team event or birthday party, we can easily accommodate groups up to 100 people at a time. Also available to groups is the Swim and Pizza party. This is a great idea for a kid’s birthday celebration. For only $5 per person, guests can swim, hot tub, and use the exercise facilities at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort before they eat. This is a great way to burn off some energy and create a big appetite for hot pizza and lots of video games afterward. The restaurant is located at the beach in Pacific City, directly across the street from the dory landing area at Cape Kiwanda. As part of Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace, the location is excellent to enjoy all the beach activities such as climbing the big dune, beach combing, sand boarding, surfing, and dory fishing. Also right next door is a variety of shopping at the Marketplace for gifts, apparel, groceries, and many other items. Whether you are a “local” or live out of town, a visit to Doryland Pizza is worth the trip. We invite you to the restaurant to meet our crew, and enjoy the great food and atmosphere.

hief Ed Wortman of the Rockaway Beach Police Department wants to remind you that school has started and he is asking that you to pay extra attention to crosswalks and school zones. Drive carefully and slow down. Always give the right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks and stop for school buses when the red lights are flashing. Children, bundled up for the weather or just not paying attention, may dart from between cars or not see traffic coming. The Labor Day Weekend events were an all around success! First, thanks to Kathy Kammerer and all her fantastic volunteers and workers, the Old Fashioned Carnival in the Park was tremendously fun and entertaining. It was a perfect tribute to the founder of the event, Phyllis Baker. It brought in just over $5,800. In a tough economy, that

Eugene, my daughter had two cats and a Dalmatian mix dog and Ranger was not happy about sharing everything. I started back to Curves in Tillamook this last week only to hear that they will be closing Oct. 2. This was not something I wanted to hear as I recently sprained my ankle and can’t do much walking yet. The machines were so great for my one good leg and upper body. There aren’t many of you that don’t know Frank and Ann Harper here in town, and prayers of healing go out to Frank who is undergoing chemotherapy at OHSU for Mantle Cell Lymphoma. He has 6 months of treatment ahead of him. We wish only the best for both of you. News from Robert Pollock from the City Council is that the “Watts Family Park” dedication will be at 11 a.m. Oct 6. Everyone is invited to attend. Also Repaving of Hwy 101 begins in 2014. Did you also hear that Robert Pollock won a Red Ribbon for his Apple Pie at the Tillamook County Fair? I even got to taste some of his award winning pie, and it was scrumptious! Guitar lessons have started at the Bay City Church Thursday nights at 7 p.m. I went tonight and learned a few chords myself.

I have wanted to learn to play my entire life and put it on my bucket list and wahlah…mark that one off. The lessons are instructed by Dr. Ben Douglas and there are not only beginners but some very good guitar players in attendance. Last meeting we had myself, Danielle Hurd, Joyce Caspell, Gordon McCraw, Bob Weeks, Mr. Bill (Bill Browne), Jeffrey, Jerry Manderville and of course Ben, too. It was so much fun. Anyone is invited to come and learn or just play along with us! Speaking of Gordon McCraw, they just signed the papers on their house on 9th Street so Bay City will see a new family around town. They currently live in Tillamook until they move in next week. Welcome Gordon, Heidi and Whitney! Let’s not forget to welcome another new family in the neighborhood. Rupel, from the Center Market, and her husband and daughter are living in the adorable house across the street from the store now. They moved here from Tillamook. Do I detect a moving from Tillamook to Bay City trend here? Hmmm... Now you know what I know. Have a great week and see you around town.

The City of Garibaldi is looking for one more person to serve on the Urban Renewal Board. Interested? Send a letter to John or Mary at City Hall. You need to be a registered voter who has lived in town for a year. The City Council makes the appointment, and they could do so at their meeting Monday, Sept. 21. The Garibaldi Museum has acquired some photos of the Columbia River by photographer Rick Winters of Astoria. They’re several sizes, and matted, and tie in well with the museum’s exhibits of Captain Gray’s discoveries. Rick said he got started in the photography business after he shot and framed some 60 photos for a new suite of offices his wife Nancy had to move into after a fire. “I started getting a lot of positive comments on my pictures with suggestions that I should be selling them,” he said. “That’s why I started Rick Winters Photography.” Most of his photos are of local spots on the Coast. The Garibaldi Museum is open Thursdays through Mondays, 10-4, until November. The Wave Steppers Dance Club, based here in Garibaldi, has another round of dance les-

sons scheduled at the Tillamook Elks Lodge Wednesday, Sept. 26, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Free to firsttimers, and you don’t have to be an Elk to get in. The lessons are taught by instructor Jim Hattrick, who hails from Vancouver, Wash. He teaches a variety of western style dances including line dancing. New people are welcome anytime. Questions? Contact Bob Allen (503-3223819) or Bob Kratz (503-8424321) or me (I’m secretary of the club). There will be one more “Hattrick session” this fall, the fourth Wednesday in October (Oct. 24). Rehearsals have been underway for some time for the latest TAPA play, “A Fine Monster You Are!” Performances start Oct. 12 and will run until Oct. 29 — almost to Hallowe’en. Sandra Koops from Garibaldi is in this one (along with my boss at the paper, editor Samantha Swindler). TAPA’s Chris Chiola said the rehearsals have been taking place along with a “monumental” remodel of the seating area. TAPA’s theater is called “The Barn” because it used to be The Barn Tavern, years ago, but the new seating will reportedly make it obvious the place is now indeed a theater.

is a very successful event. The community spirit was awesome! Second, our community definitely loves baked goods. The wonderful and yummy Lions/Lioness Bake Sale proved that and the gals want to thank you. Then third, Rockaway’s second annual Race of Champions fundraiser for Tillamook Special Olympics was phenomenal! There were 46 racers this year, whereas last year there were only 25. They made almost $2,300 on the race itself but took in about $7,000 in sponsorships and inkind donations! This will all remain in Tillamook County. They would like to thank all the volunteers, participants, donors and sponsors. The Tsunami Evacuation Drill is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 22 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. All residents in Rockaway, Nedonna and Nehalem are asked to walk to the nearest Tsunami Evacuation Assembly Area and check in with personnel there. Call the City Hall to find your nearest area (503-355-2291). This event will overlap the SOLVE Fall Beach Cleanup. Perfect timing. We never know if and when the event may happen. Dixie Sexton called to tell me that SOLVE begins at 9 a.m. The volunteers are asked to come to the Lions Club. They will also serve lunch. The morning of Sept.

22nd will be important and busy. Speaking of the Lions, the Bake Sale basket raffle was won by Mary Ellen Knipe. Other Lions news announces Jan Markle, Jim Hatzenbihler and Imie Camelli won the Lions Club Bingo Raffles. Phyllis Baker’s memorial will be from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21 at Rockaway Beach City Hall. Friends of Phyllis, come share fond memories and reminisce with her “Rockaway Beach Family.” There are lots of unsung heroes in our town, such as the fellow who donates most of cakes and pies for the carnival. But my husband and I recently found another unsung hero who quietly helps our little community. R Sanitary donates all the garbage service to every festival or community event in Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, and Bay City. We should thank and appreciate their magnificent service to our little town. Thank you and “Sugar Coated” hugs to your company! All are invited to the dedication of a bench donated by the family of Joanne Rogers at the library. Meet the family for refreshments and cookies at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21. “Be willing to shine your light on the path for another.” That’s Rockaway Beach “Sugar Coated!”

eptember is such a wonderful time of the year. Cool, sunny changing leaves and the chilly mornings letting us know fall is coming. It’s a great time to curl up with a good book from the local library or go fly a kite on the beach, while we have these breezy sunshine days. A reminder that the Nehalem Elementary School picture day is on Sept. 21. Friday night swims start again on Oct. 5 at the NCRD. The Youth Enrichment wants to invite you to the monthly Parent Advisory meeting at 6 p.m. Sept. 24 in the NCRD kitchen. Bring the family and your favorite ice cream topping to share! They are having an ice cream social before the meeting begins to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. Ice cream is provided and so are activities for the children during the meeting. Congratulations to Ty Mautner, the new head coach for the youth sports at NCRD. Remember, Saturday, Sept. 22 at 9:30 a.m., North Tillamook County will participate in a tsunami evacuation drill sponsored by the Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue District, including Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler, Rockaway Beach and the Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay. This is being done to help residents be prepared if a major local earthquake strikes and causes a tsunami. Be sure to locate the nearest assembly site so you know where to go. Take a look at City Hall and the Fire Station to locate a map, including the inundation zones and assembly sites. After the evacuation, check out the Handy Creek Bakery at 495 Hwy. 101 in

Wheeler to get a fresh pastry, then walk on over to the waterfront park to admire the fall colors. If you’re in Nehalem with a little one, check out the city park on 12705 Hugo Street and have some fun on the swings and slide. It’s a life saver having a restroom close by when little ones can’t wait to go. Also, the walk around the park area is nice with the trees and view of Onion Peak. Don’t have the kids with you? Go on over to Manzanita and check out the fiber arts group Sept. 22 at 10:30 a.m. It’s free – come and knit, crochet, quilt, spin, embroider, sew or weave — there’s no limit to fiber arts It’s over at T-SPOT Yarn, Tea and Chocolate Shop at 144 Laneda Ave., Manzanita (behind Four Paws).

Become a member – Grange business meetings start promptly at 7:30. Check it out; remember – first Wednesday of the month over at 36585 Highway 53.

NETARTS - OCEANSIDE LORI CARPENTER 503-842-7839 bishopgardens@oregoncoast.com “It is the summer’s great last heat, It is the fall’s first chill: they meet.” – Sarah Morgan Bryant Piatt

he Autumnal Fall Equinox begins at 10:49 a.m. Sept. 22. Temperatures begin to drop, days get shorter and nights get longer… Fall has arrived. The full “Harvest Moon” will light up the heavens. We were finally able to plant our garden in late July. Under the moon, it is growing beyond belief. The winter vegetables are simply going crazy. The Hubbard squash has 1” thick vines

that are at least 19 feet long, full of flowers and fruit, with massive leaves 24” in diameter. Great thanks go to the individuals and merchants for their help and support of the Firefighters’ Pancake Breakfast: Bob Hellman and Phyliss, Maxine Ryland-McDonald, Elki Powers, Danielle Howery, Cynthia Miller, Dick and Gail Dorris, Jeff and Lana Zybura, and Polly Shaw. The great merchants that need to be mentioned are: Netarts Grocery, BOS – Bell’s Office Supply, J & K Distributing, Safeway, Fred Meyer, Tillamook County Creamery Assn., and Tillamook Meats who hand-made the awesome sausage! Netarts Fire and Rescue officially promoted Justin Winslow and Josh Vance to the rank of Lieutenants, and Jim Dickerson to the rank of Division Chief of Training. They have risen as part of a superb leadership team! Remodeling is in full force at the Oceanside Fire Station, where they are building living quarters to house a firefighter. Learning from the “Great

Divide,” the Hwy. 131 road closure of last summer, Oceanside’s need for protection was recognized. The 2012 Chris Thompson Memorial oyster eating contest and festivities begin at noon Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Schooner. There will be music by the Clamdiggers, a silent auction and raffle gifts. The oyster “shuck and swallow” contest, with teams of two (one shucking, one swallowing), will compete in time trials beginning at 5 p.m. The top five fastest teams will move on to the final event at 6 p.m. Winners of 2012 “shuck and swallow” oyster contest will win $1,000! They will be judged by the number of oysters they can eat in 10 minutes. Last year’s winner was Chris Thompson, who swallowed 65 oysters in 10 minutes! To register you can go online to the website schooner.net, stop by or call the restaurant at 503-815-9900. Teams are still needed. The Chris Thompson “Hot, Hot, HOT wing eating contest” will be held at 10 p.m. Can your

SOLVE Cleanup set for Sept. 22 It doesn’t take a natural disaster to wash debris into the ocean. The fall rains in Oregon can potentially send thousands of pounds of litter and debris from alongside rivers and beaches out to sea. On Saturday, Sept. 22, thousands of Oregonians will make sure that doesn’t happen by taking part in SOLVE’s Beach and Riverside Cleanup. “The Beach and Riverside Cleanup shows Oregonians at their best,” said Tom Koecher, SOLVE Board President. “By preventing trash from reaching the ocean, volunteers from across the state help make sure we have clean water, while keeping our beaches and rivers healthy, and protecting wildlife.” “Volunteers have fun and show their

love for Oregon at the same time,” Tom said. “That’s not bad for a day at the beach, or river.” Presented by the Oregon Lottery, the SOLVE Beach and Riverside Cleanup includes over 100 cleanup and watershed restoration projects throughout the state. Last year, more than 4,650 volunteers removed trash and improved watersheds at sites throughout the state. “Picking up trash before the fall rains wash it out to sea and onto our beaches supports the health of our local waterways, wildlife, people and tourist economies,” said Briana Goodwin, Program Coordinator. Volunteers typically clean up cigarette filters, Styrofoam, plastic caps, lids, bot-

If you’ve driven by the Tillamook Rest Area recently, you’ve likely noticed that Oregon Travel Experience (OTE) has built a handicapped accessible office at the rest area. According to Commissioner Mark Labhart, that building will be available to local nonprofit organizations that want to set up a coffee service to travelers. You’ve seen them at other rest areas; coffee/beverages and cookies are offered for a donation to perk up weary drivers. Labhart said that the donation dollars can add up to significant proceeds for local non-profits. If your non-profit would be interested in such a fundraising/service project, or if you have other ideas for the rest area, plan to attend a meeting at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the Tillamook Library. “The stage is set to make the Tillamook Rest Area an effective community resource,’ writes OTE. “As with our other rest areas, we ask the commu-

nity to set the vision and the plan. That community vision will lead the future improvement efforts at the rest area.” Oregon Travel Experience took over responsibility for the Tillamook rest area south of town earlier this year, after ODOT announced that they could no longer operate it due to budget restrictions. In addition to building an office, OTE has cleared brush and generally cleaned the rest area. There is a full-time staff person on the job, and they report that incidences of vandalism are drastically reduced. Vandalism was a serious problem at the rest area a year ago.

The two just belong together.

tles, and bags. “While these may seem like small, harmless items,” Briana said, “cumulatively they can pose a large threat to a variety of wildlife.” Most products made out of plastic do not biodegrade but instead break down into tiny pieces that can be harmful to fish, birds, and marine mammals. “Often times, these small pieces of plastic are mistaken for food,” Briana added. This year’s cleanup runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 22. Volunteers can sign up for specific areas or projects at solv.org. Those who can’t volunteer can still make a difference by making a donation to SOLVE to support the cleanup.

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