Tillamook’s getting a brewery Pelican expansion smaller than originally planned The owners of Pelican Brewing Co., Mary Jones, Jeff Schons, Darron Welch and Ken Henson, have entered into an agreement with Star Distributors, Inc. of Tillamook to lease the Star Distributor building on Stillwell between

Front & First Ave. for a second brewery location.

While it is not the same vision as the group had in mind for the Port of Tillamook Bay site, a location they considered last year, it’s the perfect size and shape for what

they need to brew large quantities of beer.

No restaurant is planned for this site, but a tasting room may become part of the plan in the future.

Jones said Pacific Citybased Pelican Brewing plans

to initially create 10 to 15 fulltime jobs at the new Tillamook location, growing to 20 to 25 in future years.

Star Distributors, Inc. have owned the building and operated their business from that location for 60 years, retiring from the grocery business in 1999. They recently decided to

look for a new tenant for the building and posted a “For Lease” sign.

Jeff Schons, one of the owners of Pelican Brewing Co., called Pat and Don Kehr, President and General Manager, and negotiations began.

ROCKAWAY BEACH – Saturday morning, there were mini-cinnamon rolls and Starbucks coffee waiting at the evacuation site along Ocean Loop.

When the real deal happens, there won’t be such a warm greeting.

The Sept. 22 mock tsunami evacuation drill invited residents from Rockaway Beach to Manzanita to practice walking to their nearest evacuation gathering site.

The aim was to make people more familiar with the routes, to time themselves, and to see what it was like to evacuate with the weight of their supplies.

Andy Long competed in the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic in Pacific City September 22-23. Long, who was appointed sheriff after the retirement of Todd Anderson, is seeking election to the position for the first time.

MEET ANDY LONG

I

n addition to being Tillamook County Sheriff, Andy Long is an accomplished competitive surfer. He competed in the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic Sept. 22 and 23 in Pacific City, and took “7th or 8th overall in my age division, the 40-49 midlife cruisers,” Long reported.

The Headlight Herald caught up with Long and his family after his first heat Saturday, in which he won second place. He was beaming, and with good reason: it was a glorious day on the Oregon coast, sunny with no wind, the wave conditions were great, Long and his wife, Kayla’s family were in town for the annual surfing event, and his son, Aaron, was surfing in the event with him.

Long has been surfing about 30 years, since he started in the Coast Guard in Hawaii in the early 1980s. He does all types of surfing, short- and longboards and stand-up paddleboards. He surfs off the Cape in Pacific City, where he and Kayla live. In fact, surfing is the reason they live in Pacific City.

“When I get home from work, if the conditions are right, I can go surfing for an hour or so in the evenings,” he said. Surfing is a way for Long to unwind and decompress from the stresses of the job. “I don’t think about work much while I’m out there,” he said. “There aren’t many places that I don’t think about work.”

Being sheriff is not a 9 to 5 job, and as such, the potential for stress-related burnout is high. But Long seems well-balanced. He is happily married to Kayla Long, a local attorney. The two met on the job when Kayla was working for the DA’s office. They used to work for the same team, so to speak, and both were employed by the County.

When Long became sheriff, Kayla entered private practice. She now works as a defense attorney.

“It was a good move for her career,” said Long. “To be cross trained, to have experience on both sides of the system makes her more well rounded as an attorney. I support her in her career. The main difference for us is that we used to talk about work all the time, and now we don’t, we can’t, because she has attorney/client privilege.”

ill Spidal is by all accounts a unique individual, a contrarian who challenges authority. He has a degree in Philosophy, devotes himself to volunteer efforts, and has the remarkable distinction of having argued with Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Repeatedly. By his account, Spidal argued with the Nobel Peace Prize winner several times in the 1980s while he was working in a tuberculosis clinic in Calcutta run by the Catholic nun.

“I went to India twice and worked in the TB clinic,” said Spidal. “I worked there off and on Bill Spidal is for two years. It was too hot, too shown in a photo humid. I left and went to Central from his website.

There are people dying all the time, and no matter what’s going on, the nuns all get up and go to church at two o’clock. People are dying, and everybody’s at church. I thought that was crazy.

“This was 1987, but we had 1950s archaic hospital equipment. We had rubber sheets for the beds, because they were easy to rinse off. But they caused bed sores, people’s skin stuck to them and rotted and I thought that was terrible. Mother Teresa was spending the money opening convents when we needed new equipment for the clinic. I thought that was wrong, and I told her so. Actually, I argued with her almost every time I saw her.

A Tillamook School District bus carrying seven students was hit broadside on Hwy. 101 Thursday September 20 at McCormick Loop Road. No one was injured.

The bus was crossing Hwy. 101 from Nielsen Rd. to McCormick Loop Rd. According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Trooper Reding, the bus driver stopped at the stop sign on Nielsen Road, but continued across in the path of a northbound pick up. The pick up driver was not able to stop in time, and hit the middle of the bus.

The bus driver was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device (the stop sign).

How to lower auto insurance costs

TIPS ON TAKING A TEST DRIVE When shopping for a new vehicle, some drivers know exactly which model of car they want to buy, while others are not so sure. Though price and features often carry the most weight when making a decision, a test drive can narrow down the prospects as well.

It is easy to become awestruck by the look of a new car, and even easier to fall into the eager hands of a salesperson. One of the best ways to judge a car is to take it out for a test drive.

• Pick a time when you feel focused.

Doing a test drive on your lunch hour or right before you're expected at a meeting or carpool is not the ideal time to make an assessment of the vehicle. You certainly may feel rushed and distracted by the other tasks you have to accomplish.

Rather, pick a time when you are well rested and well fed and able to concentrate on the job at hand.

• Avoid distractions. Sometimes schedules conflict, and you may have to bring other people, including children, along on the test drive. However, when possible, only include those people who will be driving the vehicle in the test drive. This way you will be able to focus solely on the car and not worry about what the other

A test drive can tell potential car buyers a lot about a vehicle. Conduct a test drive when you can devote your undivided attention to the task.

passengers are doing as well. It is also perfectly acceptable to ask the salesperson to be quiet during the test drive and reserve explaining the features and attributes for before or after the drive. This way you can focus on the driving experience.

• Research the vehicle. It helps to go into a test drive already knowing the majority of the specifications on the vehicle and what the car or truck is capable of doing. This way you'll be able to tell if the sales information you are receiving is

accurate or embellished.

• Try out different terrains. Most test drives consist of a short jaunt to and from the dealership. Salespeople also may recommend certain routes, but these could be tailored to get the best response out of the car. But if you're familiar with the area take a test drive on your terms. Try different road surfaces and speeds. Also be sure to make turns to gauge the turning radius.

This can be as simple as making some turns in a parking lot.

• Change lanes. Take the opportunity to change lanes so you can judge the visibility of the vehicle.

• Adjust the seating. This will help you determine the comfort level of the vehicle and if it will fit your frame. You don't want the car to be uncomfortable to drive.

• Test the radio and the climate control.

See how the car functions, including whether it takes a long or short time to reach a comfortable temperature.

• Have a passenger ride in the back. If you won't be distracted by it, have a friend or family member ride along and pay attention to the things you might be missing while focusing on the road. These may include road noise, suspension and the general comfort of the vehicle.

Many motorists rarely think about their auto insurance policies. However, with a few simple tips, drivers can significantly reduce the cost of their auto insurance.

• Reexamine your coverage. Older vehicles without much market value, for example, probably don't need collision or comprehensive coverage. Another area where motorists frequently spend more than they need is on personal injury protection. Chances are, men and women with health insurance are just duplicating coverage by paying for more than the bare minimum personal injury protection under their auto insurance policies.

• Say so long to your muscle car. In their 2012 ranking of the most and least expensive vehicles to insure, Insure.com found that high-priced vehicles with powerful engines that trace their origins to Europe garnered the highest insurance quotes.The average cost of insuring the Audi R8 Spyder Quattro Convertible, for example, was more than $3,300 in 2012.

Meanwhile, the four-cylinder Toyota Sienna LE minivan was the least expensive vehicle to insure in 2012, with owners paying an average of just more than $1,100 to insure the vehicle.

• Put safety first. Insurance companies value a vehicle's safety features. The Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (www.iihs.org) annually ranks the safest vehicles by category, including minicars, small cars, large family cars, midsize SUVs, and a host of other categories.

• Combine policies. Drivers who also own their homes should consider combining their policies. Allstate claims that its policy holders who combine their insurance policies can save as much as 35 percent on homeowners insurance and an additional 10 percent on their auto insurance.

• Let your provider know if you’ve changed your driving habits. Insurance companies offer low mileage discounts that reward drivers who don’t drive often. Let your provider know if you no longer have a long commute to work, are unemployed, participate in a carpool, or take public transportation to work.

How to improve your night vision A driver’s visual acuity is reduced by 70 percent at night, a figure that is even higher among older drivers. The human eye is simply not adapted for nocturnal vision, so colors tend to disappear and contrast fades away while driving at night.

Fortunately, there are several ways motorists can do just that.

• Inspect headlight lenses. The plastic headlight lenses used on today’s cars can get increasingly cloudy over time. They tend to yellow and get hazy from the effects of ozone, road debris, pollution, age, and even trips to the carwash. As a result, headlight lenses can quickly become ineffective. The Philips Headlight Lens Restoration Kit can restore the lens to “like new” clarity.

• Frequently check windshield washer fluid. Popping the hood to check your vehicle’s fluid levels when it’s snowing or just downright freezing outside might not be enjoyable, but it is necessary. Salt from snowy roads or debris blown about from winter winds can easily accumulate on the windshield, greatly reducing visibility.

• Replace headlight bulbs. To combat normal wear and tear, experts recommend that vehicle owners replace their headlight bulbs every two years. Drivers can upgrade existing bulbs with a

new generation of high performance light bulbs that mark a dramatic improvement over the traditional halogen bulbs that are standard on most vehicles.

• Routinely clean your vehicle’s glass and mirrors. Debris and film buildup on the windshield glass and your rearview and side view mirrors can reduce vision, especially for drivers who smoke inside their vehicles. Make cleaning the glass and mirrors inside and outside of your vehicle part of routine maintenance.

WHAT TO DO WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD

Having a broken windshield is not only unsightly and a big inconvenience, it can also be illegal. That’s because the crack reduces the efficacy of the window safety composition, meaning it may shatter in the event of an impact accident and cause extensive injuries. The crack also may impede a driver's ability to see the road clearly.

Liability car insurance typically doesn’t cover a cracked windshield that occurs in a collision. Instead, drivers hoping to be covered need to have collision insurance on their vehicle. However, not all windshields crack in a car accident.

Many are damaged in nonaccident related circumstances, whether this be a tree branch that falls on the car or a rock kicked up from the roadway. Read an insurance policy thoroughly to be sure that nonaccident related cracks to the windshield will be covered.

through the process of sealing the crack and preventing it from spreading.

If the crack is beyond the scope of a do-it-yourself fix, a windshield repair service that specializes in this type of work might be necessary. These companies use products that harden quickly and reglaze the windshield so that the crack may not even be noticeable afterward.

Upon inspection, a mechanic or a windshield replacement company may determine that the crack is not something that can be mended. The entire windshield will have to be replaced at this point. In some cases the windshield can be removed and replaced in the same day.

While there is no way to prevent a cracked windshield entirely, there are certain ways to reduce the risk. This includes avoiding running over any debris on the road that can be kicked back at the windshield.

Even if the damage is covered, it may not be worth the expense of paying the insurance deductible and filing a claim, which may end up raising your rate in the long run.

Many small nicks can be repaired easily with a kit purchased from an automotive supply store. Inexpensive and userfriendly, the instructions guide users

Stay safe on winter roads According to information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States. Each winter, snowfall compounds treacherous road conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.

Here are some tips for fall and winter driving.

• Limit time spent driving in the snow. Avoid driving during snowstorms or directly after whenever possible.

• Be sure you can see clearly. Clear off the snow from the windshield, side mirrors and windows so it does not compromise your view. Also, top off the windshield fluid. Look for a washer fluid that has an antifreeze component, otherwise, your washer jets and wiper blades could be rendered useless.

• Leave enough room between you and other motorists.

• Be aware of black ice. Black ice tends to form in areas that have had snow or ice melt, which then refreezes at night when temperatures drop.

• Steer your car into the skid. Remain calm and do not panic and jam on the brakes if your car starts to skid. Slamming on the brakes will only exacerbate the skid. Rather, take your foot off the accelerator, allowing the car to naturally slow down as you turn your wheels into the direction the car is skidding. This should help right the car and get you back on track.

Oh, 'deer': Get the facts about this road hazard Deer can be found all over the country, and healthy deer populations are increasingly creeping into residential and urban areas seeking food and mates thanks to developments encroaching on deer habitats. This increases the chances of motorists having run-ins with deer on the roadways around their homes and places of business.

State Farm estimates that 2.3 million collisions between deer and vehicles occurred in the United States during the two-year period between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010. That number marks a 21.1 percent increase in the number of incidents from statistics gathered just five years earlier.

West Virgina and Iowa rank first and second, respectively, as the states where a driver is most likely to collide with a deer.

Vehicular crashes can cause serious damage to a car and even be fatal. According to National Geographic, the average white-tailed deer can stand at 6-feet-tall and weigh between 100 and 200 pounds. That animal stands as a formidable foe should a collision with a car occur. It may seem like one is hitting into a barrier or an impenetrable object.

Fall, when deer are migratory and seeking mates, is the prime season for collisions with deer, but collisions can occur throughout the year. The spring is when females give birth to their young, so speckled fawns may inadvertently dart across the road with mothers chasing after them. The displacement of deer habitats due to urban sprawl also magnifies the problem of risking an accident with deer.

There are certain tips that can reduce the

chances of a deer and vehicle collision.

• Keep in mind that deer are most active between 6 and 9 p.m. At dusk, they may be harder to see.

• Take note of posted deer crossing signs.

These are erected in places where deer are most actively crossing.

• Deer generally travel in herds. So drivers who see one deer should expect to see others nearby.

• Use highbeams when driving at night to better illuminate rural areas.

• Drive slowly in areas where deer are likely to be, such as by open fields.

• Car-mounted deer whistles are not a reliable deterrent.

• Do not swerve erratically to avoid a deer collision. This can result in a collision with another car and increase risk of injury and damage.

In areas where deer collisions are prevalent, extra insurance coverage may be needed on vehicles. Therefore, drivers should speak with their insurance providers.

READER’S OPEN FORUM

grade level. Between Oregon’s current standards and the new Common Core, most elementary students will have to learn information from one to three years sooner than is currently expected as demonstrated by the following examples.

2nd Grade Writing Previous Oregon Standard: Develop an idea with an introductory sentence, supporting sentence(s), and a concluding sentence.

New Common Core Standard: Write narratives in which they recount a well elaborated event or short sequence of details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.

5th Grade Math Previous Oregon Standard: Solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions and decimals.

New Common Core Standard: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Interpret the product (a/b) × q as a parts of a partition of q into b equal parts; equivalently, as the result of a sequence of opera-

tions a × q ÷ b. For example, use a visual fraction model to show (2/3) × 4 = 8/3, and create a story context for this equation.

Do the same with (2/3) × (4/5) = 8/15. (In general, (a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd.)

With higher standards at every grade level, adding exit exams to graduation requirements and expecting 100% of the students to graduate, it is clear that schools, parents and students have a significant challenge ahead.

It is obvious that the Tillamook School District will not be able to continue educating students the same as we have for the past 50 years and expect to raise students to the levels that will be necessary in the future.

The state has created a big vision. It’s going to take all of us, collectively, focusing on our children’s futures to achieve that vision. To have any hope of success for all students, it will take communities and families being actively engaged in supporting the educational process. I believe if any community can meet the demands set before us, Tillamook can. I look forward to working together on this journey to educate every student in our community.

OUR VIEW

Sirens don’t help in the local, lethal scenario

ABOUT US

In Depoe Bay and Cannon Beach, where more sirens are in the plans, the sirens offer voice instructions – but with the exception of Manzanita, Tillamook County’s only make a loud tone. They offer no information. So when Tillamook County’s sirens blared after the Japanese earthquake, they created unnecessary panic. People didn’t know what to do. They evacuated all the way to Portland, creating more dangers on the snowbound roads than if folks had simply stayed put.

During a distant tsunami, such as what happened in March 2011, the danger is minimal – just stay off the beach.

Seriously. You’re fine at home.

There is a minimum of four hours notice (if it came from Alaska, longer from Japan.)

And there are other, cheaper ways of saying “hey, you on the beach, leave” without alarming those who don’t need to worry – namely, by driving up and down the beach with a megaphone.

After their decision to nix the sirens, county leaders repeatedly said the sirens would only work for a distant event.

They said they’d be broken during a local earthquake and unable to warn of the large tsunami coming in just 15-20 minutes.

I wasn’t sure if I bought the county’s argument that there are only two possible scenarios – a

minor beach swell in which we have hours of warning, or a massive local event in which the sirens are inoperable.

The southern portion of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (which would create a local tsunami) breaks more frequently than the section directly west of Tillamook County. I suppose it’s possible to have operational sirens following a “less-thanworst-case-scenario” local quake and tsunami. But Corcoran says they still aren’t necessary.

“When we get the earthquake, you’re really not going to need a siren,” he said.

And if we were able to sound the sirens after a quake, what does a blaring siren mean? Both a quake and a siren need further explanation.

Instead of training people to know “the siren means get to higher ground” we need to train people to know “the quake means get to higher ground.” If enough locals instinctively run up hill after a quake, even blindsided tourists could figure out the procedure, no sirens needed.

But Japan uses sirens to warn its population, you might say. Corcoran counters that Japan has frequent earthquakes, and there, in a culture where people have become desensitized to the shaking, sirens can

Buying into the American Dream BY

FELICIA STRUVE

Coast River Business Journal

With real estate prices trending up and interest rates enticingly low, some say it’s a great time to buy.

On average, the sale price of residential property seems to have bottomed out in January 2012 and has been slowly increasing since. With a recovering market and mortgage rates below 4 percent, first-time homebuyers and those interested second homes or investment properties are taking notice.

“I don’t want to say a whole lot more people are buying, but there’s more activity. More people are looking,” said real estate agent Duane Johnson of Duane Johnson Real Estate in Cannon Beach.

Although the number of commercial and single-family home sales in Clatsop County is still about 20 percent below (year-to-date) what it was in 2007, 2012 looks to be a markedly better year than 2011.

Erik Knoder, an economist with the Oregon Employment Department, reported in his September newsletter, “The 12-month average of median sales prices seems to have bottomed out in January 2012 in Clatsop, Tillamook and Lincoln counties and ticked up 1 percent by June. Average prices in Columbia County show some increase. The 12month average of Columbia County’s prices reached its low point in January 2012 and was up 3 percent by June.”

“It’s a great time to buy if you can do it,” Johnson said.

“I think you’ve seen the bottom of the pricing here.”

With “unbelievable” interest rates and “soft” prices, Johnson said buyers are getting more house for their money.

Astoria mortgage broker Greg Cross, with Northwest Lending Group, said first-time homebuyers make up the majority of his customers these days.

“They don’t have a house [they need] to sell in a down market in order to buy,” Cross said. Without the burden of an existing home, first-time homebuyers have been able to take advantage of low prices and interest rates.

He said buyers with a credit score of 640 or higher should have no problem qualifying for a loan. He recently secured a 30-year fixed mortgage for a client with an interest rate of 3.25 percent.

Based on the mortgages he’s seen in the past few months, Cross said prices seem to have bottomed out in the Astoria area.

The median price of Clatsop County homes sold January through August of this year was $178,750, nearly 33 percent below the 2007 median price ($266,000) for the same time period.

A first home Christina Beck closed on her first house Aug. 24.

Beck, like others who have recently bought real estate on the north Oregon coast, said that the affordable cost of property coupled with outstandingly low interest rates made buying more attractive than renting.

“It’s cheaper to buy and with the foreclosures around here, it was a no brainer,” she said. “Interest rates are low, housing prices are down. It seemed like a perfect time to buy.”

Beck and her partner, Larry Cary, had moved to Astoria from Tennessee in February to be closer to his children, who live in Portland.

They chose Astoria for its small-town lifestyle.

At first they and their two dogs moved into a rental home. They didn’t plan to buy a home so soon, but “once we got here, we hated the rental we were in.” So they started looking at houses in their price range.

Most of the houses she and Cary looked at were too small, rundown or didn’t have fenced yard for the dogs.

When they saw the foreclosed three-bedroom, two-bath craftsman on Lexington Avenue with a fenced backyard, it felt right.

The house had been empty for about two years and needed a lot of cosmetic work including new flooring, appliances and tiling, but it has “good bones,” Beck said.

They made their offer to the bank in May. “It was an emotional roller coaster,” Beck said of the next three months. Her mortgage broker, Greg Cross, kept them grounded.

After months of anxiety, the sale finally closed for $130,000 at the end of August with the bank paying closing costs.

“I could not be happier. I know I made a wise decision and now was the time to buy.

I feel secure,” Beck said.

Commercial property Commercial property in Clatsop County seems to have retained its value better since 2007 than residential property has.

The average sales price of improved commercial property dropped just 7 percent from 2007 to 2012, but there have been wide swings in average prices from year to year.

After an initial 30 percent drop from 2007 to 2008, the number of improved commercial property sales has stayed between 47 and 50 for the past four years. Between January and August 2012, there were 35 transactions, which is higher than the same periods 2009 to 2011. If the trend continues, 2012 sales may show marked gain over 2011.

Steve Allen, who owns several commercial properties including the Wet Dog Café and the Desdemona Club, bought the Andrew & Steve’s Building at 12th Street and Marine Drive in Astoria in June 2012.

“We didn’t buy because the prices are down,” Allen said.

“We bought because we needed to expand our beer production.”

For Allen, the value of the building lay in its ability to support his business goals.

The property is on a welltraveled block near the existing restaurant, which will allow them to expand the brewery and open it up for tours.

A retirement home Location was also central in Marci Hallock’s decision to buy.

Hallock had been looking for a retirement home with enough land for a garden, a nice view and room for the grandkids to stay over.

“The market made my dream affordable,” Hallock said.

Hallock bought a foreclosed two-bedroom home with a craft room on about an acre in the Tillamook area in January 2011 for about $99,000 cash.

“I had passed by the home’s ‘For Sale’ sign several times, thinking, ‘Wow! I would love to live there, but that place will be way too expensive for me to buy,” Hallock said.

Then, on whim one Sunday night, she looked it up online. “Turns out, no, it was extremely reasonable—a foreclosure listed for $99,000 on almost an acre,” she said.

“The location sold this house to me,” she said. “I have friends in the neighborhood and this is where I wanted to be.”

She called a real estate agent friend the next morning and told her, “‘I want to buy a house this morning.’ I didn’t tell her I wanted to look at a house, I told her I wanted to buy it—if the foundation and bones were good.”

She knew she’d need to replace the roof, exterior doors and the septic tank, but the house was structurally sound. Of course, “everything I checked on this house turned out to be worse than what I thought it was,” Hallock said.

Fortunately, her budget

One way ahead

BY MARY FAITH BELL The Tillamook City Council voted September 17 to change the traffic pattern on two Westside streets. Second will now be one way for three blocks, from Main to Stillwell. Currently, Second Street is one-way from Main to Ivy, two-way from Ivy to Stillwell, and one way again from Stillwell to Grove. The interrupted pattern causes confusion for drivers, particularly visitors, and frequent wrong

Ivy Street, from Second to Third Street was one-way, and it is being changed to two-way traffic. Now Ivy Street is a continuous two-way from Front Street to Third Street.

In addition to the traffic pattern change, the decision will also result in reconfigured parking places because two-way traffic requires parallel spaces, while one-way traffic will accommodate diagonal spaces.

was large enough to absorb the additional costs. “When I made my offer on the house, I took into consideration that it was going to cost about $25,000 to fix what needed to

be fixed.”

She didn’t have any trouble buying a foreclosed home, but she had previously bought “distressed houses,” so she had some idea what to expect.

“Once a house gets to the point of foreclosure, usually the people haven’t had money to do the maintenance,” Hallock said. “You have to be willing to go in and do the work and put in the elbow grease to make it your own.”

Although she’s still living in a construction zone, Hallock is “delighted” with her home. ”For the ordinary

working schmoe like me, I think it’s a good opportunity.”

Hallock now rents her house in town. “I would truly rather it was sold and to have the money for retirement, but it is not a sellers market,” she said.

Still, “if I had extra cash right now, I would gobble… I would buy more homes right now.”

Robert Stephen Melgoza

John Thomas McCamman

Robert Stephen Melgoza was born on June 8, 1955, the third of four children born to Frank & Josephine Melgoza, and the only boy.

Susan and Liz enjoyed spoiling their “baby” brother, ROBERT until Robert MELGOZA grew up, when he enjoyed “protecting” all three of his sisters. As the youngest two children of the family, Robert and Judi got into all kinds of mischief together.

He was born and raised in Montebello, CA, and enjoyed close camaraderie with extended family there, especially his cousins Andy, Bobby, and David.

Robert passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly on September 18, 2012, at the age of 57 in Tillamook, OR. Robert worked as an EMT and then as a paramedic for a private ambulance company and then served on the Los Angeles Fire Department as a paramedic for 5 years, which gave him the opportunity to save many lives, and deliver numerous babies.

Robert met the love of his life, Linda Mitchell, through their work as paramedics. They married on February 10, 1996 and soon after their marriage, they adopted Casey Lou, the other love of their lives, a German Shepherd mix.

In addition to Linda and Casey, or “LuLu”, as they called her, Robert also loved music, sci fi movies, and anything old west. Robert was a talented musician, easily mastering any new instrument he wanted, although he specialized in guitar and drums, and enjoyed playing with a couple of bands. He participated in numerous old west reenactments, which let him fulfill every little boy’s dream of being a real live cowboy.

Robert’s passion was animals, especially dogs; after they lost Casey Lou to old age, Robert and Linda became visitors at the Tillamook Animal Shelter, and had fun bringing goodies to and playing with the dogs there.

Above all else, Robert loved his family. He felt close to each and every member of his large, extended family, and enjoyed spending time with them all.

John Thomas McCamman was born in Portland on April 24, 1948 to Robert and Jean (Hilsenkopf) McCamman.

John passed away in Wheeler on Sept. 20, 2012 at age 64.

Susan Ann Boehme Beloved teacher Susan Ann Boehme passed away Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, in the company of friends and family at Providence Seaside Hospital. She was 57 years old.

She was SUSAN born on May BOEHME 29, 1955, to her parents, Elmer and Valeria Boehme of Sherwood, Ore. She is survived by her siblings, Michael Boehme, Mark Boehme, and Kathleen Boehme.

Susan attended Sherwood Elementary and High School, graduating from NW Lutheran Academy in Mobridge, South Dakota. She returned to Oregon, attaining a BA in Education at Portland State University.

Susan was a long time member of our community, moving here in 1981 to begin her career in education as a fifth grade Nehalem Elementary teacher. She later transferred to the Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School where she taught social studies and language arts. Susan retired early, in 2012, due to illness.

Students spanning generations adored her, evidence of which can be seen on a recently created Memorial Face Book page in Susan Boehme’s honor.

The stories and declarations of love reveal much about Susan, such as her gentle, ever-present sense of humor, and her honest desire to listen to her students, treat them with respect, and make them feel important. Also described is her wonderful ability to make a story’s characters come alive as she read to her classes.

Susan loved her students, her friends, and her home in Wheeler, where she enjoyed cooking, baking, listening to country music, and caring for her cats and beautiful begonia baskets. Her giant hydrangea bushes are famous in her neighborhood. When Susan did leave home, she would travel to Victoria and Port Townsend, or even Europe and Malaysia.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at 4 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 27 at NeahKah-Nie Middle School in the multi-purpose room. Former students, students, friends and staff are invited to attend in order to share thoughts and memories of Susan, celebrating the life of a woman who so sweetly touched our community. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to one of the two causes close to Susan’s heart, the NKN Middle School Library (25111 Hwy 101 N, Rockaway Beach, OR, 97136) or to United Paws (PO Box 159, Tillamook, OR, 97141).

Protesters in front of post office

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

Supporters of perennial Presidential candidate Lyndon Larouche were in Tillamook Friday, with an information booth and “PULL OVER—IMPEACH OBAMA” signs on the sidewalk at Second and Laurel, next to the post office.

Ed Ciampini and Stewart Battle, both of Seattle, were on five-day “campaign swing” through western Oregon, setting up their controversial displays — featuring a poster of President Barack Obama photoshopped with a Hitler moustache — in various population centers. “We were in Tualatin yesterday,” Ciampini said. Other teams of Larouche supporters were doing the same thing in other

towns, they said.

It was the first time either had visited the Oregon Coast. “We thought we’d meet some interesting people,” Ciampini quipped.

Larouche is not running for President this year — “He’s too old,” Ciampini said; instead, his “LarouchePAC” is funding a campaign to impeach the President for allowing the murder of American diplomats overseas.

They were getting some support from the public as well. There were catcalls from passing traffic, but some people were pulling over — and the booth was getting foot traffic from people stopping to talk, to pick up literature and occasionally leave behind donations.

“We find people give a damn everywhere we go,” Ciampini said.

New Tillamook Police Officer James Harrell, was sworn in at the Tillamook City Council meeting September 17. Harrell and his family come to Tillamook from Brookings, Oregon, where he was a deputy in the Curry County Sheriff’s Office.

Harrell told the City Council that he hopes to stay in Tillamook and retire here. He made the move because Curry County is in a budgetary crisis, and may have to lay off Sheriff’s Office personnel.

In other City Council news, the City held a public hearing to review Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The amendments to the Plan were described as “housekeeping issues” by City Planner Dave Mattison, meaning that the plan document was outdated and the organization of the Plan was inconvenient.

Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) representative Patrick Wingard concurred, testifying that DLCD has reviewed the amendments and not found any substantive changes.

Tilda Chadwick Jones testified for Tillamook Bay Habitat and Estuaries Improvement District (TBHEID) and asked that her organization be included in the process of further amending the Comprehensive Plan, in a “public/private process.”

Councilor Forster noted that the Plan amendment has been a public process through the Planning Commission, whose meetings are open to the public.

City Manager Paul Wyntergreen assured Tilda that TBHEID will be notified of future Plan amendment proposals.

Jan Stewart, the City of Tillamook Planning Commission, testified in favor of the Plan amendment, with a few minor changes, which the City Council approved.

The Council voted unanimously to adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendment with Stewart’s recommended changes.

The City Council voted to deny Aero Vironment’s electric car charging counter offer. At the last City Council meeting, the Council decided against signing a lease with Aero Vironment, based upon the company’s space requirement of five parking spaces for an electric car charging station. The company counteroffered with four spaces. The City Council

declined.

The City already has one car charging station lease, with EV4 Oregon to install an electric car charging station using three parking spaces. Councilor Steve Forster said that this is emerging technology, and he feels good about starting with the EV4 Oregon lease, and reassessing later, if there appears to be a need.

Finally, the City decided to approve a resolution regarding earned time off, which will allow City employees to use their vacation and sick time interchangeably, providing more flexibility for employees.

The earned time off will not increase, but rather, if an employee needs more sick leave they can use their vacation time, and if they don’t use sick leave, they can apply it to vacations.

TNT nabs two during drug buy Gathering together for peace

MARY FAITH BELL/HEADLIGHT HERALD

September 21 was International Day of Peace, and a group of local citizens gathered at the Tillamook County Courthouse to mark the day and share their hopes for peace. “Imagine what one day of peace would mean for the world?” Romy Carver of the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center asked.

In attendance were high school students from TOPS, Tillamook County Democrats, Tillamook County Veterans for Peace, Tillamook County Citizens for Human Dignity and representatives from several area churches.

Cannon Beach hosts ‘City Hall Week’

BY ANTHONY RIMEL For the Headlight-Herald

The City of Cannon Beach hosted a local “City Hall Week” meeting between representatives of local city governments and the state legislature.

Oregon State Senator Betsy Johnson and Oregon House Representative Deborah Boone joined representatives of city governments from Astoria, Gearheart, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita and Nehalem for a discussion of issues affecting Oregon cities at the Sept. 17 meeting.

The conversation included topics like a proposed constitutional amendment that would affect how the value of property is determined for tax collection purposes; an amendment that would give the cities more flexibility in passing levies; a phone tax to support 9-1-1 emergency services; and state grants for infrastructure projects to promote business development.

“The whole idea is that each city has declared City Hall Week,” said Nehalem Mayor Shirley Kalkhoven.

“Various city councilors mayors and city managers from Clatsop and Tillamook counties have invited legislative candidates to the event in Cannon Beach.”

Kalkhoven said the meeting with legislators gives city representatives the chance to address upcoming pieces of legislation.

“We will present the cities’ positions on specific issues to the candidates and hear what they have to say,” said Kalkhoven before the meeting.

Linda Ludwig, Deputy Legislative Director for the League of Oregon Cities, attended the meeting as well to discuss the organizations stance on several upcoming legislative issues.

One of the issues discussed at length during the meeting was an amendment proposed by the League of Oregon Cities that would reset real

This is a change from the current system where taxes on property are based on its assessed value, which is legally restricted to a three percent increase each year.

The League of Oregon Cities said in their handouts at the meeting that making this change with future sales will address the problem of large discrepancies between the assessed value and real market value of property, while not increasing taxes on current home owners.

The assembly also discussed funding requests from the Oregon Business Development Department for grants and loans. According to the League of Oregon Cities’ meeting materials, the department requests $10 million to “recapitalize” a program that provides loans to make abandoned industrial lands ready

for re-development; $25 million to make infrastructure development grants to municipalities to make industrial sites ready for commercial development; and $15 million to provide financial incentives to assist communities with redeveloping existing industrial lands within their urban growth boundaries.

Johnson said she wanted the best projects to be selected for funding, not the projects with the best grant writers.

She added that small cities have a hard time competing with places like Portland that are good at getting grant funding.

“I just want to make sure there is equitable access,” she

said.

At the conclusion of the more than two and a half hours of serious policy discussion, Johnson and Boone asked attendees about any other issues they had concerns about and were met with a mostly quiet room.

Johnson said the lack of new issues was a result of the good relationships between the cities and the legislators.

“We have such open relationships, we don’t need to all gather together to talk,” she said.

TOPS students breakfast with the church ladies

BY MARY FAITH BELL mfbell@countrymedia.net

Tillamook Options Program (TOPS) students enjoyed a back to school breakfast buffet Sept 21 put on by the ladies bible study group of the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene. The “church ladies,” as they are affectionately known to the kids, fixed bacon and pancakes and muffins and fruit for 22 TOPS students, to welcome them back to the neighborhood for another school year.

The Church of the Nazarene and the TOPS program are across the street from one another, and the church ladies treat the high school kids at TOPS like beloved neighborhood kids. In addition to the annual back to school breakfast, they hold Christmas gift-making parties for TOPS students, where kids make cards, wreaths, candles, jewelry and other gifts for their loved ones, and wrap them in holiday paper.

They have Valentine cookie decorating parties and spring flower basket planting parties, and a special “Spa Day” for girl students, where the

church ladies give the girls manicures and pedicures.

The church ladies’ activities with TOPS students are just one way the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene reaches out to TOPS. Every Friday morning of the school year, beginning September 28, the church hosts and sponsors a support group for TOPS kids called “The Landing.” This is a teen version of the Celebrate Recovery (CR) program that meets at the church on Tuesday evenings. The Landing offers adult mentorship and support working through the 12 steps in a bible-based program to heal from “habits, hurts and hang-ups.”

The support group is optional; kids from TOPS are under no obligation to attend. But the kids seem to like it; last year, the Landing had an average weekly attendance of 15 students.

The Landing on Friday mornings is exclusively offered to TOPS students; there is a teen group at the regular Tuesday night CR meeting open to all young people in the community. That group meets at 6 p.m. Dinner is provided.

Sanitary Service won’t locate in Port of Garibaldi

BY JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net

GARIBALDI – R Sanitary Service, the family-owned company that provides garbage service to Garibaldi, Bay City and parts of Rockaway, is expected to vacate their space at the Port of Garibaldi before the end of the year.

The company gave notice to the Port Sept. 13.

“Moving operations” is too strong a term. R Sanitary has simply parked their garbage trucks at the Port, near the Coast Guard rescue station on the Port’s waterfront. “We parked our trucks there on a handshake in 1967,” R Sanitary’s Mike Reding told the Headlight Herald. “We never were going to have an office or a shop there,” he said, “But we do need a place where we can put the trucks”—inside, out of the salt air—“and have our roll-off containers.”

The building site offered by the Port, however, was at 6th St. S. and American Way— across the street from the tracks of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad. The proximity of the site to one of the town’s biggest tourist attractions prompted some objections from the public, despite assurances from Reding and port manager Kevin Greenwood that no garbage would be stored on site. The Port Commission’s approval of the “expansion” was a split vote, with Port president Val Folkema voting no and commissioners Bob Browning, John Luquette and Kelly Barnett voting aye.

Greenwood had proposed design standards

SIRENS:

for the site as a compromise—“We’ll be creating a standard that can be applied to future development at the Port,” he said—and the Port Commission had scheduled an Oct. 2 workshop on the subject. The workshop was cancelled after R Sanitary announced their intention to move.

“They’re a strong, locally owned business— the type of business we hate to see leave the Port,” Greenwood told the Headlight Herald. “I can’t speak highly enough of our relationship.”

He characterized R Sanitary’s relocation as “reflective of changes overall in Garibaldi.”

Relocation of the company’s trucks will have a financial impact, too. The Port of Garibaldi has been getting free garbage service in exchange for R Sanitary’s trucks being parked on Port property, an estimated value of $16,000 per year. The RV park purchased last year by the Port generates another $9,000 in garbage. Both would have been covered in the new R Sanitary lease.

R Sanitary is the third tenant the Port of Garibaldi has lost or is losing this year. Doug’s Diving is gone, its building dismantled, and Coast Metal Fabrication is closing, displaced by the upcoming Commercial Street reconstruction and unable to find another waterfront lot. R Sanitary is reportedly negotiating for a site in Rockaway, Greenwood said. The “R” in the company’s name actually stands for Rockaway, where the company was founded in 1955, he said.

tized to the shaking, sirens can help. In Oregon, he argues, any quake would get our full attention.

There’s still plenty of confusion about what would happen after a local earthquake.

During the Sept. 22 mock evacuation drill in Rockaway Beach, one woman asked if shuttle buses would be able to pick up the elderly. Of course not! There will be no roads, no one able to get to a shuttle bus, and no time to do so.

Another lady told me she had a 40-foot camper filled with survival supplies at her home in the inundation zone.

She was convinced her husband would be able to drive it to safety after The Big One. It shows many residents still have no understanding of what The Big One will mean.

Scientists predict there’s a 37-percent chance of a local quake and tsunami happening here in the next 50 years. And it’ll be horrible.

Tillamook County has much work to do to better prepare its people for the lethal, local scenario. And maybe this

is just the first step – redirecting energy and expense away from distant warning devices.

Tillamook County needs to take the second step – improving the community’s understanding and preparedness for a local Cascadia quake. Instead of petitioning the county to reinstate the sirens, petition the county to take the $20,000 per year, per siren they’ll be saving and put it toward preparedness for The Big One. We could spend even more money on sirens that give verbal instructions, but is that really the best use of those funds?

How about clearing blackberry brambles along evacuation routes? Working on the Neskowin evacuation trail? A local effort to provide and explain the use of NOAA radios? Or a county ordinance requiring hotels and rental units to prominently display tsunami warning signs on doors, explaining that in case of an earthquake, run to higher ground?

Those things might actually save lives. Sirens will not.

Foster parents needed The Department of Human Services -Child Welfare in Tillamook County is recruiting qualified applicants to provide a nurturing home for abused and neglected children.

A child stays in foster care until the issues in his/her own family are resolved or a permanent home is identified for the child.

Classes on foster parents will be held every Wednesday from 6-9 p.m.. beginning Oct. 3, and ending Nov. 28. (There will be no class on Oct. 31 or Nov. 21) Classes are at the Department of Human Services, 4670 Third Street, Tillamook. This training is free to the public and treats will be provided.

SPIDAL:

“I was an angrier person then. I’d hear, ‘this is how we do it,’ and my response was, ‘but we’re doing it badly.’

“It takes somebody like myself, an outsider to come in and say, this isn’t working, this is broken. That’s what I’m doing with this campaign.

Domestic violence is my main issue because the way we deal with domestic violence in this county is not working. I’m asking the justice system, why are you letting this happen? Just because we’ve been doing it this way for 50 years, that’s not a good enough excuse.

“People have told me that they think domestic violence is the biggest problem we have in this county. I’ve had men tell me that their sisters and their mothers have been hit. It happens all the time, everyone knows it, and no one is doing anything about it.

“We have assault and violence on the left, and domestic violence on the right; the system here has always said that crimes on the left are serious and crimes on the right get a slap on the wrist, maybe 3-9 days in jail, it’s appalling.”

“This is how I see it,” said Spidal, “if the people of Tillamook County care about ending domestic violence, I win this election. If the people tell me they don’t care about domestic violence, I lose. But either way I win, because I don’t get beat up.”

In Oregon, a county sheriff must have at least four years’ experience as a full-time law enforcement officer, (or two years’ experience and two years of college). Spidal meets that requirement: he was a “street cop” for the Portland Police Department from 1977 to 1985, when he quit because he was confined to a desk job. Spidal lost a leg in 1981 in an automobile accident. He was hospitalized for eight months, and when he returned to work he was frustrated by the change in his mobility and his duties.

“I was a training officer in the North Precinct and it was just rock and roll all the time.

Then to go to a desk job at the age of 29, it was like, oh forget it.”

BUS:

LONG:

Continued from Page A1 Spidal was on duty with the Air National Guard (he served as an MP) when he lost his leg, so he retired from the Air Force (Air National Guard) after 10 years, with disability in 1984.

Another requirement to hold the office of sheriff is certification from the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), which certifies all police officers in the state of Oregon. Spidal had DPSST certification when he worked for the Portland Police Department; he has since let it lapse. When asked whether he thinks he could be recertified, with his physical disability, Spidal responded that he thinks the idea that he could not be Sheriff with one leg is a “low blow.”

“I could perform the duties of the office of sheriff,” he said.

“And I would have a year after the election to become certified anyway.”

After he quit the Portland Police Department he went to school at Portland State University, where he earned a B.A. in Philosophy. From there, he headed to India to work with Mother Teresa.

“In 1990 when I came back I became interested in financial analysis, and I began doing some international trading in financial markets.”

Spidal said he has been trading stocks ever since. “If you want to buy stocks in Japan, China, Mexico, Africa, Canada or England, that’s what I do, for myself and a small group of people.”

Spidal has been a Tillamook County resident for 13 years.

He owns 10 acres on Anderson Road that used to be a small cattle ranch, “but now I just have one bull,” he said, “and my office is there.” He lives in Nehalem.

Spidal has the desire to be of service, and he has looked for opportunities to do so. In 2003-04 he attended the Western Baptist Seminary, and earned a graduate certificate in theology/chaplaincy.

“I didn’t get a Master’s in Divinity because I would have had to study Greek and Latin,” he said. “I thought that was a waste of time.”

He thought he might like to

be a priest, and applied to Catholic seminary, but he wasn’t accepted. “They probably didn’t like it that I wasn’t a Catholic,” he said.

In April 2011 Spidal made local news when he was cited for interfering with signs at the construction site of the (then future) Nehalem Bay Fire and Recreation District. Spidal was protesting the message of the sign, which stated that the new fire station was out of the tsunami zone; Spidal thought it was a “lie.” Then in July 2011, Spidal was cited for trespassing on the same property.

The misdemeanor charges were reduced to violations, in order to proceed with a judge trial, as opposed to a jury trial.

In February 2012 Spidal was found not guilty of criminal trespass II and criminal mischief, stemming from the sign incident on April 30, 2011.

In the second case, the court found Spidal guilty of criminal trespass II, also a violation. He was sentenced to pay fines totaling $354.

Spidal has said this case is one reason why he is running for sheriff. He thinks the charges against him were ridiculous and personal in nature: he made people mad, so they had him cited.

“I was a Portland cop,” he said. “You don’t write a ticket for something like this. It’s crazy.”

He also thinks his trial was a gross misuse of public funds.

“My trial went on for months. I’ll bet it cost taxpayers $15,000. That is mismanagement of all kinds of resources, and someone needs to stand up and say stop this.

This is wrong.”

Spidal has run for several different offices including County Commissioner and Governor of the State of Oregon, and never won, but he is undaunted. He does not accept campaign contributions; all funds spent on his campaign are his own. Asked if he considers himself a long shot candidate, Spidal responded with an enthusiastic “No! I think I’ve got a chance to win this thing.”

The junior and senior high school students on board were picked up by another bus, and delivered to school. Parents of the students on the bus were notified that their children were involved in an accident, no one was hurt, and the students were subsequently transported to school by another bus.

Tillamook School District Superintendent Randy Schild viewed the video of the accident shortly after the bus was towed to the bus barn.

“All busses have digital video up by the driver pointing backwards, so we’re able to review any incident,” said Schild. “You can see that the driver stopped at the stop sign,

and then pulled out. Apparently she just didn’t see the truck. In a car you have blind spots, and in a bus you do, too. You could hear skidding sounds for a few seconds, then the sound of the crash. But what was completely amazing is that inside the bus you could barely tell that anything happened. The bus rocked, that was about it. There was no jarring, no one fell from their seats; it’s easy to see that there’s no damage inside the bus, and no harm to students.”

Schild was relieved that the driver of the pick up was uninjured, which is remarkable, considering that the truck was probably traveling at 55 m.p.h., had only a few seconds to

BREWERY: “Pat and Don have been so great to work with,” he said.

“They really went out of their way to help us put together a deal that allows us to locate in Tillamook.”

The new brewery will initially double brewing capacity to about 9,000 barrels per year, with plenty of room for growth in the coming years.

decelerate, and the front of the truck was crushed. Looking at damage to the bus, Schild noted, “fortunately the truck struck the bus right behind the right front tire, where it is sheet metal, so there was give,” which is probably why the truck driver wasn’t hurt. The truck appears to have slid beneath the bus, crumpling the sheet metal, rather than hitting something solid.

The bus driver was drug tested after the accident, which is the school district’s policy.

Schild said the driver has been with the school district for eight years. “This is an experienced driver and we’ve never had an issue before.”

Portland/Vancouver area by Maletis Beverage, and in western Washington area by Noble Distributing. Pelican also selfdistributes in central and southern Oregon; however, quantities available for distribution are limited by the small capacity of the Pacific City brewing location.

Master Brewer & CoOwner Darron Welch says, “We are very excited to

become more widely available in all of the Northwest markets within the next few years.”

“The deal is contingent on appropriate funding commitments to purchase equipment and renovate the building, so we are working diligently on that part of the puzzle right now,” according to Jones.

The target date for opening the new facility is June 1, 2013.

“As a professional, which we both are, I recognize how important her role in the justice system is. She has to her job, or the system doesn’t work. She is an advocate for her clients. And if we are professional and do a good job making our cases, they’ll stand up in court.”

Long is close to his only son Aaron, 21, a mechanic at Tillamook Ford. Father and son surf together and work on cars.

“We have boys night out once a week, he’ll come down and spend the night, and we’ll go out and get burgers and talk about cars.”

Long and Aaron restored a 1969 Mustang Fastback together. A beautiful car now, it was in pieces when they got it.

“It was a good project for us to work on together,” he said.

“It was quality father-son time when Aaron was a teenager.

Even when we weren’t talking, and we could spend time in the garage together, and it kept us connected.”

Long said he and Kayla love living in Pacific City.

“We’re right in town, we can walk everywhere, and go kayaking whenever we want.

It’s great.”

Recently, Long took up background acting, after a friend encouraged him to try it.

He has acted as an extra, doing “background work” in one episode of Grimm and a couple of episodes of Leverage, both of which are shot in Portland.

“It’s something different,” he said. “There’s a lot of waiting around involved, but it’s interesting to see how things are put together, the production, and the people; and the other extras are interesting. All of them have stories to tell.”

Long has acted as a Harbor Master in Grimm, a factory worker in one episode of Leverage, and a hockey fan in another episode. In that episode he also played security.

“They look at your resume and try to match your experience to your roles. So I got Harbor Master because of my Coast Guard experience, and probably being Sheriff qualified me to play a security guard,” Long said with a smile.

He’s not about to quit his day job. “It (acting) pays minimum wage. It was just something fun to do.”

That may be the end of his screen career. “I’m not accepting any new parts,” he said. “It takes up my whole day off.”

Long will have been sheriff for a year when ballots are counted Nov. 6. The Tillamook County Commissioners appointed Long sheriff on Nov. 1, 2011, following the retirement of former sheriff Todd Anderson. Long was undersheriff at the time. He worked his way up through the ranks in a 20-year career with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

A native Oregonian, Long grew up in the Eugene/Springfield area and enlisted in the Coast Guard after high school.

“I started in Alaska,” said Long, “and worked my way down the coast to Oregon.”

He served in active duty in the Coast Guard for 10 years.

“Our son Aaron was born in 1990, and we wanted to stay here. I liked Tillamook County, and I didn’t want to move him around. In the Coast Guard, they move you every three years or so.”

Long began his career with Tillamook County in 1991 as a corrections deputy. From the jail he moved to patrol at Sand Lake. He was promoted to patrol sergeant, then detective, and detective sergeant. He served five years as jail commander and public information officer before he was promoted to undersheriff.

Long is cross-trained and double certified, in both Police and Corrections (jail).

“I am committed,” said Long. “The idea of being a leader in our Sheriff’s Office and being a part of this team is something that I’m really proud of. I lead by example; that’s something I’ve always tried to do, regardless of my rank.

That’s what I encourage all of our staff to do; being a leader has nothing to do with rank,” Long explained, rather, it is a state of mind and a commitment to professionalism.

Long’s leadership by example is paying off in both professionalism and support in the Sheriff’s Office.

“We have a strong jail commander, Lt. John Brisco, and a strong undersheriff, Janna McCandles. We’ve got a good thing going in the Sheriff’s Office. I think I have a really strong support base here. There are things I’m never going to hear, but I think I have 100 percent support in this office.”

“When you have a boss who is an elected official, that’s a big deal. You never know what’s going to happen, you

EVACUATES: A Civil Air Patrol plane with a loudspeaker began the drill by blasting the message: “you have just experienced a magnitude 9 earthquake.”

The plane is a new tool for emergency preparedness.

Emergency Manager Gordon McCraw said it’s primary use would be during a distant – not local – tsunami.

About 55 people made it to the Ocean Loop evacuation site, where they were asked to check in and fill out a short survey about their experience.

The large turnout was good.

But the preparedness level of evacuees was still concerning to Lynda Holm with the Rockaway Beach Fire Department.

Nine vehicles arrived at the site, though locals have been told that roads will be impassable during a real event.

“I do see lots of people with pets and no dog food with them,” Holm said, “people in

can end up with all new command staff and when support in the office is split, it’s terrible for morale.”

One of the biggest challenges in the job is dealing with the budget. The Sheriff’s Office was historically funded with federal forest revenues, and as they have dried up, the County general fund has shrunk, with more departments competing for fewer dollars.

“We’re already pretty thin,” said Long. “We have two, sometimes three deputies on the road at night,” spread out over a 45 mile stretch of road, from north Tillamook County to south... “If we ever had to do lay-offs we’d lose detectives first, and that would be terrible.

But we have to have deputies on the road.

“And as far as I’m concerned,” Long continued, “we’re at minimum staffing at the jail. There are many times there are only three people on duty at the jail. I’ve seen two people lose a fight with one person (on the street) more often than you can count. We’re dealing with people detoxing, people who are out of control.

The third person on duty cannot leave the control room. To have fewer jail staff would be unsafe.”

Working within budgetary constraints, Long is trying to “take the Sheriff’s Office to the next level,” meaning the next level of professionalism and proactive crime fighting.

“We’re trying to do more crime prevention,” said Long.

“For example, we have the prescription drug take-back program,” where people can safely dispose of prescription and over the counter drugs by dropping them off at the Sheriff’s Office, and other locations around the county. “This is one way to prevent prescription drug abuse.

We have deputies stopping at construction sites and talking to foremen about how to prevent theft, because theft of tools is a big problem here. So now, rather than taking the report after something has been stolen, we’re showing up before the crime has occurred, and telling people how to protect their property.”

Long has strategic planning goals for the Sheriff’s Office, and he plans to be here to see them through. “I would like to be sheriff for at least 10 years, maybe longer. I feel young, and we’ve got work to do.”

shorts and flip-flops, not really prepared for cold weather, or not having tried to get up here carrying their supplies to see how much weight it really is. A lady with a baby and two dogs and no supplies...”

As Holm answered questions, one woman in the crowd asked if a shuttle would be able to pick up elderly residents following an earthquake.

“There’s no way that’s going to happen. If the roads are out we can’t count on anybody but ourselves to get up here,” Holm said.

Many people still to do not comprehend the devastation that will come with a local tsunami. The last time a major break in the Cascadia fault line occurred was in 1700. When it happens again, it will be as devastating as the 2011 tsunami and quake that struck Japan.

“If it’s The Big One, the fire department, the police, the peo-

ple with supplies and things, they might not make it through themselves,” Holm said. “So you have to be prepared to take care of yourself and your family because there might not be anybody else to do it for you.”

Not everyone came empty handed. Eight-year-old Terryn Chavez was the first evacuee to arrive at Ocean Loop with a backpack – filled with warm clothes, water and snacks.

“The more prepared, the more empowered they feel, the more they can take charge of their lives and help others,” said his foster mother, Jacque Shaw.

Not all evacuation sites were manned. After learning on Facebook that Twin Rocks had no registration table, Holm said the department was short on volunteers. She reminded residents there will be no coffee and table during the real event.

TILLAMOOK SHUTS OUT TAFT, 14-0

SEPTEMBER 26, 2011

Pirate and Bobcat volleyball continues to improve

Tillamook quarterback Matt Strang dives into the end zone over a Taft defender for the second touchdown of the game for the Cheesemakers. Strang went 8 for 16 passing in the game for 122 yards, had one rushing touchdown and threw two interceptions.

Cheesemakers’ defense stands strong and punishes the Tiger offense

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook football has come a long way this season. They’re defense is playing exceptionally well and their offense is moving the ball and eating up bigger chunks of yardage than it ever was last season.

But, taking a single play off can be the difference in winning and losing.

So, when the Taft Tigers came to Tillamook on Sept. 21, the Cheesemakers needed to make sure they brought their best effort. Fortunately, they did.

The game didn’t start off on the right foot for Tillamook. Quarterback Matt Strang threw one of his two interceptions on the first play of the game, but ‘Mooks Head Coach Matt Dickson has a lot of faith in his junior quarterback.

“When you take some shots down the field, interceptions are going to happen,” Dickson said.

“We have a quarterback who’s very capable of making the big throws down the field so we’re not going to

be conservative just because one play goes wrong. We’re good enough to make big plays.”

Fortunately for Tillamook, their defense stepped up when they needed to all night long. So much so that Taft was held to 98 yards rushing and 34 yards passing for a measly 132 total yards.

Our linebacking core has been flat out awesome,” Dickson said with excitement. “Jordan Thompson, Ron Allen and Brock Lorenzo are still trying to get better every week, but they’re going a great job.

“I'm also getting some great defense from my defensive ends, David Waud and Jarrid Hunter and from Jake Fowler. The defensive ends have the most difficult jobs on the field trying to contain inside and outside, but they’re doing it.

Fowler is just everywhere. If an offensive player makes it through the linebackers they will have to deal with Jake, but they probably won't see him coming. His savagely fierce play is impressive.”

Fowler ended the game leading

the Cheesemakers in tackles with 10.

Eventually, Tillamook got on the scoreboard after a solid drive that included a 14-yard reception from Isaac Stellflug and a 15-yard catch

by Fowler. It was capped off with Cole Berge punching it in from the 2-yard line to give the ‘Mooks a 7-0 lead after the extra point in the first quarter.

“Cole continues to work hard on every play,” Dickson said. “In the fourth quarter Cole’s helmet came off and he got a knee to the face and broke his nose, but he wanted to get back in the game.”

The defense stayed stingy, not giving up almost anything to the Taft offense. When Taft did get something going, it was snuffed out by another big play from one of the Cheesemakers.

Tillamook only led 7-0 at halftime. In the third quarter they got another touchdown when Strang decided to keep the ball on an option from the 2-yard line and dove his way into the end zone over

a would-be tackler giving his team a 14-0 lead.

With Jacob Wassmer eating up clock on the ground, rushing for 102 yards on 18 carries along with 10 rushes for 33 yards from Berge, the Tiger offense stayed off the field and Tillamook got the shutout win, 14-0.

Next week the Cheesemakers will put their 3-1 record on the line in their first Cowapa League game of the season against the Seaside Seagulls in Seaside and Coach Dickson knows his team needs to be ready, or else.

“They’re having a good season so far and they’ll show up with confidence,” Dickson said. “We’re going to have our hands full but we’ve been successful so far this season and we’re going to be ready to go.”

The game will be a 7 p.m. start on Sept. 28.

Editors Note: For more game photos and a postgame interview with Matt Dickson go to tillamookheadlightherald.com.

The Nestucca and Neah-Kah-Nie volleyball teams are both extremely young this season. With the exception of a few, their rosters are filled with girls who’ve had very little varsity experience. Both could have really used a win in the Northwest League when they faced off at Nestucca High School on Sept. 18.

The first set between the two came down to the wire, but the Pirates held on to their lead and got the win, 25-21. The Lady Bobcat’s weren’t to be outdone and bounced right back to win the second set, 25-23. From that point on, it was all Pirates.

The Neah-Kah-Nie girls won the third set 25-19 and the fouth set 25-16 to take the match.

“That was probably one of the better games we’ve played this year,” said Pirate Head Coach Jacque Vandecoevering. “We were a lot more consistent than we’ve been.

We’ve always had the skill, but the consistency has been our problem.

“I think we might have gotten the best game of her life from Dana Moore in that game too. She was the most consistent server we had all night.”

With the loss, the Bobcats dropped to 0-3 in league play, but their Head Coach John Elder does see bright spots every time they take the floor.

“Even though we aren’t winning matches, we are showing signs of both team and individual improvement,” Elder said. “We have been serving a lot better (88percent as a team).

“Individually, Monica Chatelain was 21 for 21 with four aces against Gaston and Trisha Hopkins was 7 for 7 serving with four aces in the same match.”

Besides the solid serving as a team, Elder sees other improvements too.

Outdoor Dreams Foundation helps youth take trophy bull

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

There are many hunters in Tillamook County taking to the woods with their bow or rifle in hopes of finding a trophy bull elk. Not many of them can say they were doing it with the aid of the Outdoor Dream Foundation, Stimson Lumber and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF). But one young man from Summerville, NC got that opportunity when he was chosen by The Outdoor Dream Foundation to be the recipient of their Dream Hunt for kids who are terminally ill or have life threatening illnesses.

To get an idea of what the Outdoor Dream Foundation really is and how they choose their lucky hunter, you have to know where its founder is coming from.

Brad Jones started the Outdoor Dream Foundation when the Make a Wish Foundation stopped offering hunts as part of their program. The Jones’ family has a history of generous behavior so it wasn’t a surprise when he started the foundation. The movie ‘Radio’ was based on Brad’s father, who was the real-life football coach in the movie, who took Radio in when Brad was just a young boy. Brad grew up going to football games with Radio and seeing the kindness displayed by his family which was a huge factor in him trying to do the same for other young people.

Brad set up the foundation to secure a Governor’s Tag for one lucky young person every year which gives them the ability to take one elk anywhere in the state of Oregon. To get an idea of how prestigious a Governor’s Tag is, two are raffled off yearly by the RMEF and go from anywhere between $18,000 and $25,000 each.

This year’s chosen recipient was Wyatt Melton.

13-year old Wyatt and his family were flown out to Tillamook by the foundation and Wyatt was given a bull tag that would run from Sept. 1 through Sept. 9. To make the deal even sweeter, the RMEF got on board with the Dream Hunt foundation and got in contact with Stimson Lumber to get Wyatt access to some extremely good hunting areas otherwise closed this time of year near Cape Lookout. They put the family up for the duration of the trip in a 6,000 square-foot long cabin near the hunting area and Stimson also offered the help of their employees Mike McKibben and Sam Howard to guide the young hunter.

“It’s truly a blessing, everything that Wyatt gets to do,” said Wyatt’s father Darren Melton. “It’s so amazing that other people go so far out of their way to get involved and make things like this happen for someone else.”

Wyatt was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when he was only 2-years old and has been dealing with the ramifications of radiation and chemotherapy ever since. Fortunately, he’s been in remission for almost 10 years now, but the side effects of the treatment are still causing physical problems for the young man.

“You never know what the hunter will be physically capable of when he gets here, but Wyatt showed up with a great attitude and excited to hunt,” said Stimson Log Buyer Mike McKibben. “I just can’t say enough good things about the Outdoor Dream Foundation and the relationship between them and Stimson and the RMEF.” This was the fifth year Stimson has been involved in the hunt and they’ve gotten their hunter a bull every year.

This year was no different.

“I'd actually spotted the bull

a week before and then I was out the night before the hunt and saw the same bull in the same area,” McKibben said. “I even got some pictures of it to show Wyatt when he got here.”

The next morning, the hunters went out to the same area and sure enough, the bull was there.

“We saw a few cows and then we spotted him walking up a ridge,” Wyatt said. “We scrambled to a stump about 287-yards away from him and I shot him. It took a couple shots but I got him.”

Wyatt anchored the massive 6x7 bull with his Browning .308 which impressed McKibben.

“That was a long shot for a young kid, but was ready.”

The bull green scored 298 and was without a doubt the biggest animal Wyatt had ever harvested.

“I always wanted to get

something bigger than the whitetails we have in South Carolina and this was way bigger,” Wyatt laughed.

Overall the hunt went extremely well and all the parties involved in making it happen were glad to see the success of the young hunter. But more importantly, just happy to be involved.

“Getting youth involved in the outdoors and educating them about the benefits of hunting is a major priority of the Elk Foundation,” said Northern Oregon Regional Director of the RMEF Chad Klinkenborg. “When the opportunity came up for us to help facilitate this hunt for Wyatt we jumped at the chance. Wyatt has been through so much in his short life and truly deserved the hunt of his dreams. We were ecstatic to have been able SUBMITTED PHOTO to help provide it for him.”

Wyatt Melton proudly displays his 6x7 bull that green scored 298 inches, taken near Cape Lookout during his Dream Hunt.

Lady ‘Mooks stunned by Scappoose, bounce back in Redmond

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

The Lady Cheesemaker volleyball team has some big expectations for themselves this season and being undefeated six games into the season, they were living up to those expectations. But, they are in a very tough Cowapa League and they knew their first game against Scappoose on Sept. 20 would be the first real test of the season.

With the help of a very lively home crowd and some great play early on, Tillamook jumped out and cruised through the first two games of the match, 25-19 and 25-14.

Only needing one more win to take the game, the Cheesemakers were looking good, but everything seemed to come unraveled. Scappoose took the third game 25-20, the fourth game 25-23 and the fifth and final game, 15-13.

“It was a huge disappointment,” said Cheesemaker

They may be small now, but Tillamook’s youth football players have huge futures on the field.

Youth football still playing well Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook youth football teams participated in games on Sept. 22 at Neah-Kah-Nie High School and fared pretty well.

The third and fourthgraders had a great game against Seaside’s kids, beating the little Seagulls 24-8.

The fifth and six-graders didn’t fare as well against Rainier, losing 22-0.

So far, third and fourthgrade coach Bryan Hornbeak

is extremely happy about what he’s seeing from the young players and he’s ecstatic about where this might lead for Tillamook football in the future.

“After winning a couple games as a team, they guys are really bonding and pulling together,” Hornbeak said.

“The score of the Seaside game didn’t even reflect how well the guys played and how badly they dominated.”

Hornbeak is not only impressed with the kids and

how they’re learning and playing the game. He’s equally impressed with the youth coaches in Tillamook and on other teams as well and how they’re making the sport so enjoyable for the kids.

“It just makes for a great experience for the kids and I think if this keeps up it will make Tillamook football like Tillamook wrestling. These kids will be ready to hit when they get to the high school level.”

Despite the scoreboard, the Pirates fought until the end.

Cobras touch up Pirates for 46 points Headlight Herald Sports

One of the biggest issues the Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates football team faces is their lack of available players. Yes, all 2A football teams have approximately the same size student body to choose players from, but some teams just have a better turn out for football than others. One of those teams that really does have an excellent football program year in and year out is the Central Linn Cobras. So, when the Cobras came to Rockaway for their showdown against the Pirates on Sept. 21, the Pirates were going to need some good luck and the game of their lives to compete with the Cobras. Unfortunately, neither of those things were in the cards for Neah-Kah-Nie. The Cobras were just too big and fast for the Pirates and got the win, 46-8.

The Pirates will try to get back on track when they travel to take on the Santiam Wolverines. The game will be a 7 p.m. start and be on Sept. 28.

Tillamook boys soccer finally gets their first win of the season

BY JOSIAH DARR Headlight Herald Sports

Tillamook boys soccer has played well so far this season, but, they’ve managed to somehow stay out of the win column. That was the case until they hosted Taft on Sept. 19.

The Tigers got on the board early with a strike in the first half to lead 1-0, but Tillamook answered right back only minutes later to tie it, 1-1. The score remained tied throughout the first half despite multiple opportunities for both teams.

Close to 15 minutes into the second half, Tillamook scored to take a 2-1 lead, but like they'd done to Taft in the first half, Taft immediately answered. Taft got the equalizer almost immediately to tie it at 2-2. The game remained tied until Tillamook scored the final goal of the game with no more than 10 minutes left. The rest of the way it was a nail-biter, but Tillamook hung on for the 3-2 win.

The Cheesemakers will try and get a winning streak going when they host Seaside at 7 p.m. on Sept. 24 in their first Cowapa League game of the season. Then they'll take on Yamhill-Carlton also at home at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26.

Field damages total $5,175 Headlight Herald Sports

The cost to fix vandalism that took place on Tillamook's high school football field back on Aug. 4 when someone attempted to cut out the T in the middle of the field along with multiple nets has finally been tallied.

The cost to fix the field alone came to $3,675. The cost of replacing the discus net that was destroyed was approximately $1,000 and replacing the soccer net was another $500, bringing the grant total of damages to about $5,175.

The high school will use it’s insurance to cover the damage, but the School District has $1,000 deductible and $1,000 is still a large loss.

“Even $1,000 is a lot of money for the school district in this day and age,” said Tillamook School District Executive Assistant Gale Levesque.

According to Tillamook Police Chief Terry Wright no suspects have been arrested in connection with the vandalism, but the police do have an idea of who's responsible.

STONE CARVING CLASS The latest in the Bay City Arts Center’s popular stonecarving workshops happens this weekend — Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. 29-30 and Oct. 1, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This is the third year the Arts Center has held the workshops, and the second time they’ve been taught by sculptor Jerry Croft from Salem. (The classes in 2010 and 2011 were taught by sculptor DJ Garrity, who is now living and stonecarving in Ireland.)

Like the previous workshops, this one will be held outdoors at the Arts Center building, the Civil War-style mansion (it’s actually a former Masonic Lodge) in downtown Bay City. Tools and rock—sandstone, a soft rock that’s easy to carve— will be provided, BCAC president Dia Norris said.

“People are welcome to bring their own tools,” Norris said. Past stonecarving workshops have attracted both adult and younger attendees; children over 9 are welcome as long as they’re accompanied by a parent, Norris said. There will be a potluck lunch.

The workshop is expected to produce individual pieces, plus a “communal boulder.” Some of the student sculptures from prior workshops are on display at the Arts Center.

Tuition is by donation. A grant from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund is paying for the tools, and an allocation from City of Tillamook room tax funds is helping with promotion.

Advance registration is encouraged. Call the Arts Center at 503-377-9620.

warm welcome to Nestucca Valley goes out to Jeff and Janet Branscum who moved from north Tillamook County recently for jobs at Beaver Grocery and Deli, which re-opened on U.S. Highway 101 in Beaver for business last week.

The couple lives up Blaine Road with their daughter Bailey and son Jack who attend Nestucca High and Elementary Schools respectively.

With school in session for the 2012-13 year, there is new staff to welcome to Nestucca Valley. Jacob Copely will work full time as a counselor in both schools. He earned his Master’s Degree at Northwest Christian University. Bobbi Sterling will teach music and lead the band at Nestucca Valley Elementary.

She most recently taught students in The Dalles and will replace Linda Oram who retired last spring. Michael Kauffman has returned as a Special Education Teacher at Nestucca Jr./Sr. High School where Cloverdale’s own Carolyn Hill will teach the Life Skills curriculum, and Misty Wharton will work as a “teacher on special assignment” when she serves out the school year as Nestucca Valley Elementary School Principal when Nick Gelbard retires later this month.

Now is the time for students in grades six through twelve,

has contributed many arrangements to the band’s library. I “friended” them on Facebook and they are quite busy.

Dave Robertson is a bass trombonist and is an Emmynominated commercial arranger. His latest radio production music is presently being broadcast throughout the world on the Voice of America Network.

He played with many orchestras including the NORAD Command Band, two international tours with Tom Jones, and appeared with leading artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, and Doc Severinson. Dale and I will have to try out our ballroom dancing with one of their performances. Better call Wally and Diane Nelson, our dance instructors, for a brushup!

Jim and Linda Larson have returned from a vacation at the Grand Canyon. They are quite the hikers and walked to the bottom from rim to rim which is about 25 miles. Perhaps the oldest hikers there, this is the fifth time and last time they will hike it. They said that the last few times. Well kudos to both of you. That’s why you both look so young!

Councilor Rich Riley redeemed his birthday gift from his wife Myrna recently. It was

a flight on a glider and the word he used to describe it was “fantastic”. It was silent, no engine and he literally flew with the birds. You need to talk to him for details if you’ve dreamed of doing this. He said it’s something for your “Bucket List” for sure.

The Meals for Seniors program in Rockaway Beach invites all seniors in Tillamook County to join them for lunch.

They serve every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at St. Mary’s by the Sea, 8:30 am 1pm. (275 S. Pacific). They ask for a $4 donation for the meal which is freshly cooked one of those days and served with a salad, dessert, coffee and juice.

A great deal! This is a nonprofit organization offering nutritional meals and socialization to the seniors in our area.

They are also needing volunteers to help in the kitchen and serving. If anyone is available to lend their support please call Barbara Brant at 503 355 2107.

I belong to ukulele groups in Bend and Maui and thought perhaps there were some uke fans in Rockaway Beach. How fun it would be to jam! “Beautiful things happen in your life when you distance yourself from all the negative things.”

That’s Rockaway Beach “Sugar Coated!”

NOTES FROM THE COAST Why politicians disappoint us

A

s I write this, the two major political parties just completed their national conventions.

We heard the candidates say how much they love their mothers, fathers, children, wives, husbands, grandmothers and grandfathers, and a few other relatives and friends.

We were told we deserve better. We were told that gas prices are too high, house values too low, and our national character just right. Both parties told us how great we are, we the American people. We we’re told we work hard, that we worry about expenses over our kitchen table, a good education for our kids, our mortgage, our jobs, and our retirement, We’re told we’re optimistic. We were told we never give up and these qualities were uniquely American.

That must mean members of other countries don’t care about their kids, don’t worry about anything, are pessimistic, and give up the first chance they get.

We were told the future relies on our kids. I don’t know about you, but that isn’t entirely comforting.

And then came the promises. We heard them tell us they would get jobs for everyone who doesn’t have one (I don’t

want one). Both want to get our country going again, to start building roads, bridges, highways, houses, cars, and both major and minor appliances.

Both want to pay down our debt. That’s good. My father said being in debt is bad.

SCHUBERT Both parMOORE ties claim they don’t like war despite the fact we’re either in or just out of one, and yet we’re always threatening to get into another one. Both are thankful for those who’ve served, died or been wounded.

Both want to support our troops. No one said exactly what that means. To judge from the past, it has a lot to do with putting ribbons on things.

We were told that their programs are good, and the other party’s programs are bad. We were told we have a choice and that means we’re not to vote for the other party.

What are we to make of these simplistic claims? Mario Cuomo said, we run for office in poetry and we govern in prose. Poetry is abstract. Prose is specific. That means whatev-

er we want it to mean and politicians know this.

It is the implied agreement, the way we want to be spoken to so we can fill in the details ourselves. Long before Ross Perot said the devil is in the details, it was. When Hitler said let’s make Germany stronger, did he mean let’s have the trains run on time or kill all the people we don’t like?

Politicians can’t tell you specifically what they’ll do because they often don’t know.

They mean maybe they can find a way to fix the pothole in front of your house, and you mean you’ll have some money left before the next paycheck, that no one will break into your car, that your kids will clean up their rooms.

Politicians run for office and speak to us in abstracts.

It’s what we want. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t vote for them. When they say, I’ll make this county better, you voted for them. If they had said, to fix your roads, I’ll raise your taxes, you wouldn’t have. Yet we know somebody will have to pay the bill. Who do we think that would be?

We want to fill in the details. That’s why the devil is in them. That’s why we’ll always be disappointed.

irst dispatch from Barber Tami’s “Radiation Vacation”: “Greetings from my Radiation Vacation! I have survived my first chemo and radiation is every day for 7 weeks Mon/ Fri. To the best of my knowledge I don’t glow in the dark, but to be honest we were so beat last night that the house we are living in could have burned down and I’m not sure if we would have noticed! I’ll make it a point to check tonight! Tell everyone I’m doing great thanks to all the good thoughts and prayers.”

With school back in session, Grub Club is over until next summer, and the volunteers who put it together and made it run get to... well, not rest—I don’t think any of them ever rest—but do other things. A number of

ood Morning! Time changes, Things change, life changes, and yet we manage with help from our friends and families to go on. So I personally want to thank all of you for your encouragement since I have been back.

Betty DeLoe, a faithful Fencepost reader here in Bay City called me to thank me for picking up writing the Fencepost and said how much she enjoyed it. Thank you Betty for your kind words, they mean so much to me.

On a sad note, Robert Melgoza passed away suddenly this last week. Prayers and hugs and thoughts of comfort are extended to his wife Linda and his family.

Also Bob Wright is up at Nehalem Valley Care Center in Wheeler. He is on Hospice and holding his own. I am told he is

communities have summer Grub Clubs, providing lunches for kids who might not otherwise get one—their motto is “Food That’s In When School Is Out”--but nobody’s got one that’s run like this, or that does as much.

Grub Club in Garibaldi served hot lunches, with real food, prepared in the upstairs kitchen at City Hall and served on the Dance Floor. In addition to the food, they had activities for the kids—crafts, plant projects with the Master Gardeners, and more. Christy Stumpf, who’s been the driving force behind this effort for as long as I can remember, said they served 500 lunches this summer.

And there’s a long list of people who deserve thanks. These things don’t happen on their own; it takes a lot of work by a lot of people.

Thanks, first, to those who helped serve the meals: Jack and Jane Anderson, Sharon Davis, Carlotta Roddy, Cami Schild, Frances Hartwell, Lois Daniels, Jan Stern, Christie Zerfing, Chris Miller and Cindy Scroggins. To Master Gardener Diane Griffin, for working with the kids every week. To Pastor Jeff Coon and the Garibaldi Food Pantry for sponsoring the Grub Club this year, and allowing them to serve

more and better meals. To Lance’s Meats, Left Coast Siesta, and the Rising Star Cafe for their donations of food and kitchen supplies. To the Garibaldi Lions Club, whose $100 donation got the project off the ground, and the Tillamook County Food Bank—and to the City of Garibaldi, for use of the kitchen and Dance Floor.

“We would also like to thank Partners for a Hunger Free Oregon for the grant we were awarded that let us set up activities for the kids before or after lunch,” Christy said. “The grant also allowed us to purchase the items needed to start making our own hot food.”

And thanks, too, to Christy Stumpf herself, who’s been “Ms. Grub Club” this and past years.

Neat thing y’all done here, and it came off really well. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work and generosity.

The Garibaldi Food Pantry will be open 10-noon this Friday, Sept. 28, at the God’s Lighthouse church, 8th & Garibaldi Ave. (across from the Food Basket). You can’t take food donations to the barber shop while Tami’s on vacation, but you can still drop them off at the Garibaldi Post Office during working hours.

very alert so visitors would be welcome. Prayers and love to Bob, Helen, and family.

I have also heard that Frank Harper is handling his chemo quite well. We all know what a fighter he is and if he can reel those big salmon in Alaska in, we pray he can reel in this cancer too!

John Sollman’s words of wisdom for this week are “And remember, it’s 20 mph through school zones. I recall a highway sign outside the city of St. Regis, Montana: “We have lots of kids, but none to spare.” Keep that in mind when driving in a school zone, or where kids are getting on or off the school bus.” Please drive slowly!

Watt Family Park will be formally dedicated on Saturday, October 6, at 11 a.m. It’s quite possible that a soccer game will be in progress during the dedication, and that’s what the park is all about. Although we didn’t receive the grant to develop the park this year, it is still ours to enjoy. The YMCA will be using the park during the fall for their soccer program, so we’re off to a good start. The City Council approved an agreement with the Tillamook Family YMCA, giving them use of the park Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 8

p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The agreement runs from September 11 through November 1. Let’s have a great turnout and all be there!

With the City Council’s appointment of Sara Charlton to the Planning Commission (congratulations Sara) there is still a vacancy waiting to be filled. If you’d like to be considered, please stop by the City Office and fill out an application. To be eligible, you must reside within Bay City or the Urban Growth Boundary.

Have you notice the new ziggy lines on Fifth Street? Our Public Works crew has been marking driveway locations on 5th Street. If you see a crosshatched area painted on the street, don’t park there. It marks the end of a driveway.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Rupal’s daughter Gia (spelling?). She turned 2 years old this past week. More birthday wishes go out to Robert Pollock, Katie Stoecker, Linse Sullivan, Lynnlee Bairtlein, Marcia Baertlein and Betty Gordon, kick it up and have a good time on your birthdays!

The upcoming Bay City Church Rummage Sale will be coming up soon, watch for more details next week!

t seems like we are busier now with school going than when summer was here. I had the enjoyment of spending Saturday with our 11-year-old son doing some Christmas shopping out in Portland. The weather was beautiful except for when you left the air-conditioned store walking out into an ovenlike atmosphere; you would be sweating by the time you got to the car. One of the many things I truly love about living here is the cool breeze, and the helpful community. I would never like to move back where I grew up--this is my home.

Now on to more important things. N.C.R.D. fall soccer is underway and looking at Tuesday and Fridays as the practice days, so far the last practice being on November 6th. This year they are not having a peewee team, but hope to start one next year. YEA! But don’t let that stop you from going and cheering on the kindergarten thru grade 5 teams. Go and check them out!

If the kids can’t decide about a group or organization to join come have them check out the 4-H group T-N-T; the meetings are usually the third Saturday of the month, but this one will be on Saturday the 22nd of September--but please feel free to come on October 20th for the following meeting at 10:00 a.m. at the White Clover Grange in Mohler.

Looking for something in Manzanita? Go on over to the Hoffman center for open Clay Studio--they are open twice a week Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Thursday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Why not get some of that tension out making something beautiful or just trying something new? Studio fees are $2.00 per hour which includes glazing and firing up to the finished product. Clay is $1.00 per 2-pound section. For more information you can contact Bruce Phillips at hoffmanclaystudio@gmail.com. Check it out for a night alone or while the kids are at school or take

them along for something new.

If you are looking to get a green thumb go and sit in on the Nehalem Bay Garden Club; it’s at 1:30 p.m. in Manzanita, September through June at the Pine Grove Community Center on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Need some more input? Contact Constance Shimek at 503-3684678. September 25th was the last meeting, so try to catch the next one on October 23rd.

The Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School Open House was enjoyable; they had cookies for a treat while you followed your middle schooler to their class rooms. The sixth grade parents received an informative talk from Mr. Dilbeck, Mrs. Dilbeck and Ms.Crow about the upcoming outdoor school trip, and a quick Q & A on anything else you needed.

Then we got to meet Mrs.Cooper, Mr.Bitts, Mr.Bayouth, Mrs.Grelck and Mr. Blakley--all very nice, helpful and making everyone feel welcomed.

I do need to say all of the middle school teachers and staff have been very helpful and a pleasure to talk with. It was a wonderful open house.

Just a quick reminder: the Nehalem Elementary School Parent Council meetings are the first Tuesday of the month!

6:30 p.m. at the Nehalem Elementary School cafeteria.

Hey, I received a post to my e-mail reminding me about a great family. It’s the 10th annual Harvest Festival at Alder Creek Farm on Saturday September 29th from noon to 4:00 p.m. There will be pressed cider and family fun activities along with the bandS Crazed Weasels and Coaster, so bring the kids and the whole family and have a funtastic time. Need more information? Call 503-368-3203 or check http://www.nehalemtrust.org/ .

There is limited parking, so if you are able to walk or ride a bike or maybe even carpool with friends--that would be helpful. But go and have some fun no matter how you get there.

Happy Birthday to Sharron McGinnis and don’t forget the 27th is Ancestor Appreciation day and September 30th is Chewing Gum day, so find your family and chew some gum!

Any info out there from north county, send it to hope9801@yahoo.com. See you soon!

hat a wonderful summer we have had this year. Just day after day with sunshine. We didn’t have the strong northwest winds blowing in here like we sometimes have had in past years. And the fog.....we never had fog to speak of until the first part of September August is our usual month for fog. It never happened. The nights are much cooler now, but the days are still warm.

My flowers are looking beat right now. A lot of them are dying back and I just haven’t had time to get out there and cut them back. Maybe next week. I have some nice bark chips to put around where I didn’t put bark

mulch. It all takes time but looks so much better when finished.

Helps keep those weeds down (mostly morning glories that keep popping up) My goodness but the Salal bushes have grown out of control this year. There were berries enough for the birds to eat so that I haven’t been putting bird seed out in the feeders.

They do love those berries and pick the bushes clean. This year Neil and Ardis Schroeder did not come over to pick the Salals to make their special jelly. It is a lot of work and they give most of it away. Very tasty though. I guess the birds will get the rest of the berries as they ripen.

The Evergreen blackberries finally ripened. I was busy over the weekend making blackberry syrup. It’s a nice change on waffles and pancakes from the maple syrup we usually have. It turned out just the right consistency. Not too thin and not too thick. I am wondering why they ripened so late this year. I usually am picking blackberries for jelly and syrup and freezing them for pies during Tillamook County Fair Week and that is the second week of August. I have made a couple pies and a

HEALING WATERS BIBLE CHURCH

A

gardening friend was cleaning out her files and passed along a magazine she thought I might enjoy. It was an Oregon Coast magazine from February/March, 1985. In the contents I found an article that my friend thought I would enjoy called “Coastal Gardening: Always Experiment or You Won’t Succeed.” It was written by Bernice and Norman Dain who lived outside Florence. Bernice and Norman had interviewed two “youngish seniors” in their sixties about what they did to have a successful coastal vegetable garden just off Highway 101 in Florence.

I thought it might be interesting to see how gardening has changed in the last 27 years, so I sat in my own garden on a recent lovely day and started reading.

First, I took umbrage with the couple being considered to be “seniors” when only in their sixties. But then I realized “sixty is the new forty” and I got past that.

They were also described as serene, which I felt was a better adjective than others could have been.

Eulah and Joe Aringdale worked only on the southern, sunny side of their house to maximize the sun exposure to their

Darrell Hungerford gave me a call; said a find on Bayocean Spit over the weekend was two boards toe-nailed together that he called “baby squares”. The boards had Japanese writing on them. No doubt it is tsunami debris from Japan. Several people have found boards with Japanese writing on them. Has anyone found something other than boards? Glass floats, plastic floats, bottles, boxes or anything with Japanese writing.

garden beds. Joe hand-dug a 16 foot by 24 foot area and marked 12 four-foot squares into the space. Joe then took 2” x 8” boards (not pressure treated) and constructed the squares, bracing them from the outside. At the end of the season, all the boards were lifted and Joe planted crimson clover as a cover crop to add nitrogen to the soil.

Every winter, Joe and Eulah made plans as to where their vegetables plots would be the following season, taking care to rotate crops and make sure the taller plants weren’t shading the lower ones. Joe and Eulah would keep these plotted plans from year to year just to be sure they weren’t planting the same crops in the same place. Then in the early spring, they went to work planting seeds.

blackberry crisp. I see there are still lots of red ones to ripen up, so I may get back to another pie or two before they are all gone.

The ones I picked are nice big juicy ones and easy enough to pick. I made several apple pies and apple crisps, applesauce and a few jars of apple butter last month in August. Nothing like Gravenstein apples to work with. I don’t can peaches and pears anymore as it just didn’t work out to can with so little sugar or no sugar at all for the diabetic diet for James. I sure do miss that home canned fruit. I now buy fresh fruit in season or canned that is made with a pear concentrate sweetener. It is o.k. but it doesn’t compare to the good old days of fresh home canned peaches and pears. I love fresh melons but I am the only one here to eat such fruit. I seem to have craved watermelon this summer and one of those small whole melons is not too much for me to eat before it turns soft.

Chris Spence got a call from fishing guide Bob Rees. He was unable to retrieve his crab traps when the bar was closed last Saturday, and lost 3 of them.

and Eulah filled them with two feet of sand, rotted compost and a two-foot deep mixture of wellrotted horse manure, topsoil and compost. (Aha! Compost was popular back then, too!) Eulah planted the drums with carrots.

The size of the drums made it easier for Eulah to harvest, but the drums also were not invaded by moles or shrews.

The article talked about how well potatoes did in Joe’s fourfoot squares. He would place nine seed potatoes on the top of an inch-thick layer of straw. Then the seed potatoes were covered with plastic netting. In about 70 days, Eulah would take her spading fork and turn up large, round potatoes. Each square produced about half a bushel of potatoes.

The Arindales had enough fresh produce to keep them fed for the summer, but they also froze, dried and canned the leftover harvests, as well as shared with neighbors.

Eulah started gardening each February, figuring “If you don’t plant in the cold, you won’t harvest in the summer.” She would take number 2 sized cans with their tops and bottoms cut off and line them up in a trench, filling them with her soil mixture. Eulah then placed peas in the bottom of the cans and awaited the peas to sprout, grow, and ripen.

As much as I enjoyed reading this article by the Dains, they failed to get the secret of growing good tomatoes from the Aringdales. Now that would have been an article worth saving for 27 years.

Imagine my surprise to read that this clever couple practiced intensive gardening all the way back in the 1980’s! Here I thought it was a relatively modern concept… like from the early 2000s.

Eulah mentions that the Chinese actually invented intensive gardening many centuries ago and the French refined it around the turn of the last century.

Intensive gardening is basically forgetting what the seed packets say about planting seeds six or eight or even twelve inches apart. The beds are smaller this way, and since they were raised about a foot or more above the walkways, it made them easier to tend. Raised beds also help warm the soil earlier in the spring and keep it warmer long into the fall. By placing boards down between the beds to walk on, the soil in the garden does not become so compacted as it would if you were walking on the dirt itself.

By planting the seeds closer, the leaves will shade the soil, helping to cut down on the evaporation of water, allowing the water to soak into the soil where it is most needed. The plants also grow close enough together to cut down on weed invasions.

But the Aringdales were not limited to growing veggies in the raised beds, though. They used all sorts of containers, too. Cans, cartons, barrels and even 55 gallon steel drums became fertile ground for their seeds. Joe drilled holes in the bottoms of the drums to allow for drainage. Then he

NO TEARS â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roly Poly puddinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry ...â&#x20AC;? And so goes the childhood tale, but our Pollie will bring more smiles than tears if she can have a home of her own. Pollie is a young black kitten just 3 months old, one of a litter of three. One sister, Rollie, has been adopted, but Pollie and other sister Olive still need homes, together or separately. They are well socialized with other cats, children and even dogs. Both are typical kittens, playful, full of energy and curious about everything. Pollie is already litter box trained, current with shots and will come with a certificate to have it done.

Adopt anytime: contact United Paws hotline 503-842-5663 or unitedpaws.org Or come to the next regular United Paws Adoptathon Saturday, Sept. 22, Noon - 3 p.m.

PROTECTOR If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for someone to watch over Dogpatch, then Daisy Mae just may be the answer. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big 2-1/2-year-old Cane Corso Mastiff who is very protective of her family. She just needs one to protect.

Because she is so large â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 70 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Daisy Mae would be best in a home with adults and older children. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know her own strength, and plays a little too rough for small youngsters. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a big eater, about eight cups of dog food a day. Daisy Mae is house trained , spayed and current with shots.
