A World of Fun – Close to Home!

PACIFIC CITY — If you’re looking to make your house more into a home, a visit to Pacific City’s newest shopping mecca might just be the pilgrimage you’re called to!

The Collectable Corner opened up for business on Friday, Sept. 2 to great fanfare. Inside the cozy store located at the southwest corner of Pacific City’s only stoplight, you’ll find a wide selection of new collectibles — everything from Lena Benson’s hand-woven rugs, towels and clothing to the sought-after paintings of Donna Ludwig and Mike Loney are now available to add a bit of character to your domicile or wardrobe.

Additional vendors selling their wares at The Collectable Corner include Candace Churchley (eco-friendly, natureinspired crafts), David Churchley (tile mosiacs), Galyla Gomena (fabric and chalk art, greeting cards), Michelle Hugh (antique furniture), Tina McCarthy (baby and small child items), Pete Perez (photographic greeting cards), Janice Pierce (dog and cat quilts), Virginia Reid (quilts and sweatshirts), PJ Sargent (impressionistic paintings), Cece Traylor (weaving and felted knitting), and Janet Woodbury (felted purses).

The store was dreamed up by Virginia Reid just as she was putting

the final touches on her 17-year Pacific City real estate career. Following her decision to close Sandpiper Realty and a subsequent two-month stint at Rob Trost Realty, the new retail outlet brings her back to the corner where she spent 12-plus years serving real estate buyers and sellers. The venture marks career number four for the tireless Reid — she spent five-plus years as a teacher and owned a flower shop for more than 25 years before embarking on her real estate career. ““I’m thoroughly enjoying being back on the corner,” she says. “Everyday I’m here, someone sticks their head in the door and says ‘hi.’”

With prices ranging from $3 for greeting cards to $1,200 paintings, The Collectable Corner beckons to just about every taste and budget.

“I’ve just about got something for anybody and everybody,” says Reid. “It’s a store for people to show their pride and joy. They’re really into what they’ve got. We’re here so that other people can enjoy it, too.”

The Collectable Corner is currently open Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but hours will be expanded in time for holiday shopping. For more information or to inquire about vending space, call 503-965-0069.

Reigning champs

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — The rain may have crashed the party, but that didn’t put a damper on the reception given more than 50 runners and walkers at the second annual Cedar Creek Challenge!

Despite the gray and drizzly conditions, the 5K run/walk attracted 30 participants and 10 runners lined up for the 10K. Kids braved the elements for either the half-mile or 5K. The fundraiser brought in needed funds for Cedar Creek Child Care Center and was made possible through community support. Pelican Pub & Brewery was the title sponsor.

Crossing the line first in the 10K was Thomas Christopher, of Portland, in 47:04. Shannon Markee-Gaine was tops among women with a time of 50:07.

“There was a little rain, but it was no big deal,” Christopher said.

He added that he appreciated the beach run for its scenic route that featured hard sand all the way.

Additional 10K finishers were: Sean Lambert (48:15), Bruce Fujimoto (48:32), Brian Kier (49:45), Gary Walls (50:06), Allana Corrigan (55:18), Kate Harrahill

Juggler Rhys Thomas of Jugglemania will be amongst the festival’s entertainment with morning and afternoon shows planned.

(55:50), Linda Link (59:25) and Roy Hansen (59:32).

In the 5K, 2010 champion Tyler Bentley made it 2-for-2, besting the field of 30 runners with a time of 18:56. Heather Kier was the first female finisher in 27:57.

Rounding out the top 10 in the 5K were: James Dickson Jr. (22:21), Jenny MacAulay (28:49), Alana Dannen (30:21), Susan O’Leary (32:13), Kara Burke (35:47), Penny Love (35:51), Isaak Welch (37:04), and Alex Welch (37:05).

Children made their appearance felt in the 3.1-mile jaunt, too. Besides 9th- and 10th-place finishers Isaak and Alex Welch, the youth contingent in the 5K included Hayden Spencer, Kayden Henson, and Keenan Henson.

Topping the list of finishers in the 1/2-mile kids run were Coltan Seals (4:53), Jacob Straeslle (5:20) and Dylan Johnson (5:25). Una Burke (5:31) was the first girl across the line. Additional finishers included Sophia Lambert, Quinn Thomas, Hannah Phillips, Arlo Thomas, Noah Thomas, Gus Venti, Jared Straeslle, Haley Powell, Bronson Gaine, and Audrey Gaine.

Organizers plan to continue the annual event and will announce a race date next summer.

There are a lot of new cookbooks published each year and lots of people can’t resist buying a new one. There are many collectors of vintage cook books, especially chefs looking for new ideas from old recipes. I started collecting ones published here in Tillamook County and most of them are naturally about cheese.

The Tillamook County Dairy Women published “Heavenly Historical Recipes” in 2007. The book includes many pictures of early cheese making and many of the dairy wives have added their names to some of the family recipes. There is even a section of holiday recipes from the 1940s and 1950s.

PACIFIC CITY — Had enough of the beach? Fish not biting? Not interested in catching a wave or paddling into the surf?

If you’ve answered yes to all, but still are hankering to get out in the great outdoors a group of community visionaries may have the answer. But if you don’t count patience as one of your virtues, don’t hold your breath.

The Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority is mid-way in the long process of crafting a proposal with the Bureau of Land Management that could open the door to recreational and resource development at a 75-plus acre parcel located east of Cape Kiwanda Drive. The land abuts Cape Kiwanda RV Resort, the Tillamook Lightwave cable landing station, and the Dory Pointe subdivision. Steve Small, field manager at BLM’s Tillamook office, said that once the proposal is submitted, he expects a two-year approval/denial process.

The Authority has assembled a draft recreation management plan that is two-fold — it calls for splitting the parcel between future PCJWSA needs and the development of an approximately one-mile hiking trail through 45 acres of forested land that would take outdoors enthusiasts to a sweeping ocean and valley overlook. The Authority would retain 33 acres that would be reserved for future expansion, which could include an emergency response evacuation area, expansion of the current water wastewater treatment plant, a new water reservoir, and — eventually — a new water wastewater treatment plant.

Residents heard from PCJWSA officials during a Sept. 20 community meeting designed to elicit ideas and concerns about the current proposal.

Though most residents supported the idea of an additional area for recreation, they said it must be done right.

One of the chief concerns was parking — especially how it would affect residents of Dory Pointe. Already, the area is being affected. Visitors are using a vacant Dory Pointe lot as an access point to the BLM land, as well as street parking. Dory Pointe residents at the meeting questioned whether it would be more of the same.

As it now stands, access will be provided at Tillamook Lightwave’s cable landing station property. TLW and the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance are currently negotiating a lease that would allow community use development on more than 50 percent of the Lightwave’s 5-plus acre parcel. Though initially it was

thought that parking would have to be on TLW property, a closer look at the forest zoning on the BLM land has revealed that parking for the trail may be possible there as well.

NVCA board member Anne Price said that the goal of adding parking — and the appropriate level of security — would help alleviate neighborhood parking concerns. And meeting facilitator Carolyn McVicker added that NVCA plans on a gate that would close at dusk and reopen at dawn.

Residents were also concerned that trail usage could lead to an increasing presence of hikers and campers on neighborhood property.

But McVicker said that the goal would be to construct the path in such a way that would encourage users to stay on the trail. She cited nearby Whalen Island where park staff have maintained the trail well but at the same time put growth outside of the trail to discourage people from veering off the path. She said she hoped for a similar success story on the BLM property.

Another concern was whether the reservation of 33 acres would be enough for any future PCJWSA expansion.

Authority manager Tony Owen said that while he couldn’t guarantee more wouldn’t be needed it the future, the current split was decided upon after weighing future PCJWSA needs with that of the community’s lack of available green space.

On the other hand, there was some concern of how close a new treatment plant would be to homes in the Nestucca Ridge Development. Owen said that a significant buffer would be built. He said that when PCJWSA expanded their wastewater treatment facility in 1996, they planted trees as a buffer.

“You can’t even see or hear anything at that particular installation,” Owen said.

“We don’t want to do anything different (should we expand to the BLM land).”

In order for BLM to give the goahead for a Recreation and Public Purposes lease, Small said that the agency would have to be assured that there is sufficient community support to manage the property. One of the key things they will look for is a continued program of managing and removing scotch broom on the property, as well as community support sufficient to manage anything built on the property.

“I’m encouraged by what I’ve heard,” said Small.

Though the current proposal is still in draft form, McVicker said she hopes to have the final plan on BLM’s desk by the first of the year.

Seafood soiree!

TILLAMOOK — This fall you don’t have to travel far to be immersed in culture and cuisine from the sea — not with the North Coast Seafood Festival returning for two days of international music and dance, as well as a full slate of gourmet entries from local and regional dining establishments.

On Oct. 1, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and Oct. 2, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., the extravaganza returns to the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. Billed as “A world of fun close to home” by event organizers, the seventh annual event is an important fundraiser for the Community Arts Project’s Art Literacy Program at Nestucca Elementary School and Garibaldi Grade School. The program offers monthly art instruction to nearly 400 students.

“It’s one of our two big fundraisers for the year,” said Jerri White, festival director.

Entertainment will include world music and dance on both days including returning favorites Chicamarimba, a lively marimba band; Monmoth Taiko, a Japanese folk drumming ensemble; the Morris Men, an energetic traditional English dance group; Black Swan Dixieland Band, a hot and swinging band; and Tribalation, a tribal belly-dance trio. In addition, Jodelklub Edelwyss will entertain with feats of yodeling; a 20-member troupe of Balinese dancers will impress with traditional costumes; and Coin of the Realm will play foot-tapping eastern European sounds.

“They’re all so good and so varied,” said White.

“We really search high and low to bring the best multicultural music. Every year its a whole different mix.”

Gourmet entrees from Pacific House Restaurant, The Schooner, Roadhouse 101, Porter’s BarBQ, Pacific Seafood and Restaurant, Mo’s, and Lighthouse Chowders return to the International Seafood Court along with Oak Knoll Winery, Hip Chicks do Wine, Nehalem Bay Winery, Pelican Pub and Brewery, Astoria Brewing, and Rusty Truck Brewing. Top it off with tempting desserts or Tillamook Ice Cream and a great coffee drink. Each restaurant is providing at least one seafood offering and many are offering tastes from far away places such as Thailand, Japan, Italy and more.

Vegetarian options will also be on the menu.

At the Marketplace you’ll find Michael Soeby’s ceramics and Linda Soeby’s Father Christmas dolls, Gerald Sticka’s wildlife paintings, Rodney Boss and his woodcarvings, The Bead Chicks, plus new artists with woven baskets, Adirondack chairs, garden art, jewelry, photography, and much more.

Daily admission is $8 for adults and $5 for students ages 6 to 17 and seniors 60 and over. The entire event is smoke-free and handicap accessible with plenty of free parking.

AWANA, a Bible-based, Wednesday afternoon program started its new season Sept. 21. Inspired by a survey of elementary school children, the lessonbook offers answers questions children often have about God, the Bible and life.

If your child doesn’t normally go to church, don’t worry. Patty Bruce, program volunteer teacher said their outreach is really to kids who don’t go to church, to bring the kids in with the idea of having fun and teach them about Jesus.

The program, which runs from 4-5:30 p.m., costs $25, but scholarships are available. Bus service is provided from Nestucca Valley Elementary School if the school is notified.

The lessons are aimed at first through sixth graders, but a there is a preschool component. Preschoolers are given a lesson book to go through with their parents.

The program for the elementary children has three components, stories, games and small group sessions.

After the general teaching time, half the children play games while the other half split into small groups of one or two with an adult for Bible verse memorization and help working through the book. Children are encouraged to complete the handbook through a system of rewards similar to Boy Scouts. They have a vest and get badges for participation and learning verses.

Bruce says she really enjoys the one on one time with the kids.

“It’s a nice opportunity to actually talk in actual conversation with one or two kids,” she said. “You build relationship with the kids.”

“This is a program that teaches children about God,” Bruce explained. “The change I love to see is kids that are unchurched bring their families into church.”

“Everybody is welcome,” Bruce said. “We’d love to have a whole roomful of kids. Last year we had 20 to 25. With sports and stuff they come and go.”

Shakespeare to visit Pacific City with Timothy Mooney’s one-man show PACIFIC CITY — Tickets are now available for the Pacific City Arts Association’s presentation actor Timothy Mooney in his critically acclaimed one-man production of “Lot o’ Shakespeare.”

The performance features Shakespearean monologues chosen entirely at random by the spinning of a Bingo cage. The audience plays along on their individual “IAGO” cards, and the first to match four play titles in a row wins a t-shirt. “And while the game turns it all into fun, in the process the audience revels in the breadth, the excitement, and accessibility of the Shakespeare catalogue. The genius of Shakespeare comes to life in passionate scenes of action, character, and power.”

In a review of his recent performance at the Minnesota Fringe Theatre Festival, the Twin Cities Daily Planet said, “Mooney was fantastic, animating each character with energy. It was exciting. You can’t help but sit back and be dazzled.”

Blowsion Surfslam flies high

By DEE MOORE for the Sun TIERRA DEL MAR — The third annual 2011 Blowsion Surfslam held at Tierra Del Mar Beach in Pacific City was a huge success not only for the riders of the personal watercraft who participated in the event but also for local businesses and families out to view the event.

Running from Friday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept .11, the event was coordinated by John Dady, president and founder of the event. It was “one of the largest draws in the watercraft industry for sponsors, spectators and competitors,” he said.

The event included amateur and professional free riding as well as a ski division moto-surf race.

The International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) sanctioned Moto-Surf race featured 15 racers, 10 Pro and 5 Amateurs, according to Dady, and drew competitors from the world over.

Participants represented Brazil, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Italy and France.

Not only were there international participants, there were celebrities out for the event. Hollywood stuntman Mark Gomez who starred in the movie, “I am Number Four” was there as was Taylor Curtis who starred in an episode of MTV’s Nitro Circus.

Locals included Pat Cherry, Dane Dials and Wesley Krautkramer, all of Oregon, and Aaron Newport from Yakima.

The youngest rider, 14 year-old Christian Young of California, took home first place in the Amateur Free Ride.

Second place Curtis of Southern California introduced a new degree of difficulty as he completed several reentry variations that were unseen before according to Dady.

“While seemingly in the lead in this heated final against Ross (Champion), Curtis suffered mechanical issues midway thru which led to his demise with a broken ski on the beach,” he added.

Last year’s Surfslam Champion, aptly named Ross Champion, won the title for the second year in a row. He is the first Pro Free Rider to win back-toback titles at the Blowsion Surf Slam.

Tiago Geitens, of Brazil was the third-

place finisher in this, the second round of this year’s IFWA World Tour Open Class Free Ride.

In the amateur free ride Christian Young, USA, took first, Jake Montadon, South Africa, took second, and Wesley Krautkramer, USA, took third.

In the IJSBA Motorsurf competition pro race, US rider Mark Gomez led the charge followed by Dordan Fiedler, UK, and third-place finisher Aaron Newport, USA. In pro/am competition, Joe Gardemeyer finished first while Pat Cherry followed chase and Dane Dials finished third. All three riders are from the US.

Fall into fun Harvest Festival set for Oct. 8 at Neskowin Valley School

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun NESKOWIN — There’s no better way to say ‘hi’ to the changing of the season than with a community-wide party — and with everything from juggling to rock ‘n roll, fresh baked goods to a cider pressing demonstration — that’s just what Neskowin Valley School has in store for all interested in a taste of fall and a little revelry, too!

The school’s annual harvest festival returns Saturday, Oct. 8 to the NVS ground located at 10005 Slab Creek Road, Neskowin.

For the 29th annual event, a fundraiser put on by school parents, the festival will feature morning and afternoon shows by both Rhys Thomas of Jugglemania and Donna and the Side Effects, a popular area rock ‘n roll band.

Thomas is a sought-after juggler who has performed at NBA halftimes and public shows of the International Jugglers’ Association in Reno, Nev. and the European Juggler Association in Svenborg, Denmark. He has also opened for acts including the Smothers Brothers, James Taylor and Weird Al Yankovich.

Weather permitting, his performance will be near the school’s playground.

“His show is funny for both kids and adults,” said Julie Fiedler, NVS head of school. “It’s very lively and there’s never a dull moment.”

A local favorite, Donna & the Side Effects underscores the sense of family at the school. Lead singer Donna Jose is the wife of NVS board chair Guy Sievert.

Students, too, will get a chance to stretch their vocal chords.

With music director Carol Wolfe and choir director Eric Simpson leading the way, pupils will be on stage for an afternoon performance of harvest songs. The song and dance show will be performed on the school’s deck — central to all the celebrations.

“It’s always great for our students to show what they’re learning,” said Fiedler. “We teach children to perform in front of audiences — it’s an important part of what we do here at school. We’re

looking forward to showing people the kinds of things we do here everyday.”

And while music and sleight-ofhand tricks set the tone, the real magic of the festival will come courtesy of the community’s talents in the kitchen.

While some of the cooking skill comes from professional kitchens from Lincoln City restaurants as well as the likes of Pacific City’s Grateful Bread Bakery & Restaurant and Cloverdale’s Blacktail Café, it’s contributions from parents and friends of the school that really gives the fair its wide-ranging selection.

On the menu at the Slab Creek Grill (located under the school’s outdoor covered area) from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. will be quarter-pound beef hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and vegetarian dogs. Meals will start at just $3. And the nearby Bakery Café in the main school building will be serving sweets and savories that span from soup and lasagna to fresh-baked pies and cobblers. Other tempting creations will include brownies, donuts, cakes and bread. The school has even passed around the baking bug to the students, who will be crafting items ranging from homemade hot chocolate mix to fruit crisps for which students plan on harvesting the abundant blackberries present on school grounds.

According to bakery café chair Tara Will, the baking experience offers a practical side, too. She added that it gives them a chance to test the math skills they’ve learned in a real setting.

If a good deal is what you’re after, a silent auction held in the school is a stop you won’t want to miss. Amongst the items up for grabs will be wine and beer, hand-blown glass art, gift baskets assembled by NVS students and a family excursion to Portland complete with tickets to the Children’s Museum, the Oregon Zoo and lodging. The day of the event live silent auction will be preceded by an online auction from Oct. 1-7. Visit www.neskowinvalleyschool.com to bid.

The school is also holding a used book sale and raffling off a quilt. Tickets are $1 each, six for $5 or 14 for $10.

THE NESKOWIN VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOL HARVEST FESTIVAL returns Saturday, Oct. 8. A full slate of activities are planned for this entry into autumn including two juggling performances

by Rhys Thomas (above) and a jousting ring for children (at left). The event also features a silent auction, performances

by Donna & the Side Effects, a bakery cafe, freshly-pressed cider and the Slab Creek Grill’s hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches and vegetarian dogs. For more information, visit www.neskowinvalleyschool.com.

Other can’t miss stops will be the cider press run by Gordon and Nancy Whitehead and vendor booths featuring jewelry, art, spices, fresh produce courtesy of Corvus Landing Farm, children’s clothing and more. Plus, once again, the students will get in on the act. Sixth through eighth graders will demonstrate mono print making at a booth as a fundraiser for an upcoming fall trip.

“It just shows the creative spirit we have here,” said Fiedler. “The people that come to our school have a real love of supporting local artists and local schools.”

would be complete without a little playtime? Childrens activities will include costumes and a jousting ring.

“Our students here at NVS love the harvest festival not just because of all the preparation they do, but they just enjoy the day so much,” Fiedler said. “One of the things we aim for is to get people really involved in activities and let them try and do things.”

FISHING & OUTDOORS

Patience, preparation are Domestic violence keys to snagging salmon hurts communities

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun NESTUCCA RIVER — One can lose a sense of humor when fishing for salmon — and that’s exactly what happened to one fisherman last week.

After missing three bobbers down in a row, this fisherman began to lose his cool and after missing two more, lost all sense of decorum, smashing his rod and reel several times on the rocks and leaving in a huff, spouting several insensitive things about fishing, fishing for salmon, and those that pursue the sport.

Among other things, he said fishing was not a sport but a distraction provided by the devil himself — designed to make good ordinary men turn evil! How do I know this? The fisherman standing next to him retrieved the rod and brought it in to see if it could be repaired. He told the story (long version) with a mixture of laughter and — at times tears — Photo courtesy of Pat Gefre because he was laughing Lynn Reddekopp’s 33-pound fall chinook is proof so hard. It did seem rather that with a little patience, yes it is possible to net funny and a bit over the these sometimes finicky eaters. top at the same time. The rod however was not fixable.

In Tillamook County, the strength of our communities depends on our ability to work together and support each other. At times, one’s very survival may depend on the help of a neighbor. However, violence in any form undermines those human relationships.

That’s why domestic violence not only hurts families, it also weakens the entire community. Any one of us would not hesitate to rescue a neighbor from floodwaters.

In the same way, we owe it to our community and our neighbors to help bring an end to domestic violence.

The Nestucca Bobcats had a rude awakening at the season’s start, losing 22-6 in their opener to the Waldport Irish, but rebounded in the home opener to beat the Corbett Cardinals, 34-6.

‘Cats find their game, win home opener

By DEE MOORE for the Sun CLOVERDALE — The Nestucca Bobcats rebounded from a dismal start to the season with a solid 34-6 win against the Corbett Cardinals in their first home game this year.

The team pulled together right from the get go.

The offensive line gave tailbacks Drace Moller, a freshmen, and Brad Johnson, a sophomore, just what they needed, poking holes in Corbett’s line, so these two star performers could rack up the yardage.

Moller made the first touchdown of the game during the first half. This was soon followed by a second by junior Sam Whiteman and later by a third in the second half by sophomore Max Kirkendall.

The Cat’s led at the half 12-6, dominating the game. By the second half they were feeling confident and in control, but they didn’t let this confidence go to their heads. They stayed in control through the second half as well.

Tyler Zellers returned to the game this week unimpeded by last week’s injury, providing an excellent front — he was a virtual blocking wall. Thanks to him, Johnson was able to walk right into the end zone from the 3-yard line.

Moeller completed the game with 18 carries and 121 yards while Johnson had 15 carries and 67 yards.

Though the team has seen a much needed improvement and have begun to pull together, they still have a long way to go. The next game at Gervis will test this resolve.

The season began badly for the Nestucca Bobcats

Bible-Based Worship!

with a devastating 22-6 loss to the Walport Irish and an injury to defensive lineman and running back, senior Tyler Zeller. It was a reversal of last year’s game when the Irish lost to the Cats 48-6.

This year’s Bobcats are a very young and inexperienced team with only four returning seniors and it showed when they played the Irish at Newport High on Sept. 9.

The first half of the game saw the Irish score twice against the Cats who quickly lost the advantage.

The opening kick by Nestucca was received by the Irish who ran the ball 75 yards, easily evading the Cats to score the first touch down of the night.

Afterwards the team managed to rally a bit, their offense led by quarterback Austin Woods, making a good show of putting the Irish in their place.

But, it wasn’t long before the Irish scored again, grabbing a snap that went wild and walking it into the end zone from 24 yards out for the their second touch down of the night giving them a 14-point lead during the first quarter of the game.

Though Nestucca brought a lot of defensive pressure to the Irish causing Waldport to have four fumbles and leading to the Bobcat’s only score of the night, it wasn’t enough to put them in the lead.

The Cats made every attempt to take control of the field after this but were unable to score again.

The Irish game was off and running as the team ate up yard after yard. Thanks to Zeller’s injury, the Cat’s were slowed down even more. Walport scored their final touchdown during the third quarter making the two-point conversion to take the score to 22-6.

South County to miss retiring Sheriff Todd Anderson

By DEE MOORE for the Sun TILLAMOOK — Shakespeare said “parting is such sweet sorrow” - this is truly the case for Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson who announced his resignation and retirement recently.

After 36 years in law enforcement and 11 years as Sheriff, Anderson will be putting away his badge and gun for good and picking up his golf clubs. Anderson began his law enforcement career as part of the Explorer program in the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in 1975.

“This was not an easy decision to retire, I have valued my time serving with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, and working with the men and women that provide a high level of public safety,” Anderson said.

While his departure may seem abrupt, Anderson feels that he has trained his staff to follow through and maintain a stable, working peace keeping force.

Anderson feels that he has successfully completed his mission as sheriff and feels confident that his departure is not ill-timed.

“I do believe that my job was to make this a better place to work for the staff, provide a higher level of public safety for the Community and ensure the Office was accountable to the Community for the job that we do,” Anderson said.

“I believe that former Undersheriff Terry Huntsman and I have worked to prepare the next generation for the task of managing and leading the Sheriff’s Office.

That being said, I believe that my retirement at this point is timing wise perfect.

There are leaders prepared to handle all operations of the Sheriff’s Office, including patrol, detectives, jail, community corrections, emergency management, search and rescue and civil.

“I have been employed at the Sheriff’s Office since January 1986, and believe that the transition of the leadership will be seamless, with the public not noticing a change in service,” he said.

Anderson has recommended Undersheriff Andy Long to the Tillamook County Board of Commissions to serve as interim sheriff for the rest of his term until the election in May. The board will make their decision regarding his replacement before Anderson’s departure on Oct. 31.

Not only does Anderson believe from a professional perspective that Long is the best qualified individual to step into his shoes, he thinks Long has the personal qualities it takes to successfully lead the sheriff’s department.

“Andy is a dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable man, who enjoys his family, classic cars and surfing,” Ander-

son said.

“He has the respect of the deputies and supervisors that work within the office, which will make the transition easy for staff. He is a very capable leader who makes decisions based upon factual information. He has very strong values, and a strong sense of right and wrong.”

Though he is retiring Anderson, will still continue to serve the community.

“I sit on many boards both locally and State wide and plan to continue for some time.

I serve as the Chair for the Tillamook Emergency Communications District (9-1-1 Center). I also was appointed and confirmed by the Oregon State Photo by Tim Hirsch Senate to serve on the Board of Sheriff Todd Anderson will retire from the Public Standards and Training Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 31.

I According to Long, Anderson has think very highly of Todd.” always had high expectations for his staff

Doryman’s Association director, Tom Donohue, also had glowing things to say regarding the sheriff.

“I think it’s safe to say that he was an effective sheriff in that he was picked Sheriff of the Year by his peer sheriffs a few years back. At the time, that award noted his leadership in establishing Tillamook County’s Emergency Events System which has been used many times since during major flooding, the recent tsunami scare, or storm situations,” Donohue said.

“Since Tillamook County has had more emergencies declared by the Governor than any other county in the state, the Sheriff’s contribution in that area will be felt for many years to come. This was especially important after Sept. 11, 2001, and working with the Homeland Security Department,” he said.

Jeremy Strober, Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber President has worked with Anderson for the past five years and will miss his dedication to the south county area.

“I am happy for Todd but know his retirement will be a loss for the community. Todd was always there for South County, always willing to take a phone call, always willing to help a business or citizen out when needed. His presence was strongly felt here, even though his obligations were throughout the entire county,” Strober said.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart said he feels “bittersweet” about Anderson’s retirement.

“He has been an excellent Sheriff to work with in my seven years as a County Commissioner. Todd is what I would call a ‘citizen’s sheriff.’ He listens to folk’s concerns and then more importantly he acts on their concerns,” Labhart said.

“All of Tillamook County south of Tillamook is unincorporated, thus law enforcement is the responsibility of the Sheriff and the State Police. The State Police have very few officers so the Sheriff is the principle law enforcement agency. Todd knows this very well. Given his very tight budget he allocates his resources to where the issues are and addresses them,” Labhart said.

“He responds quickly to law enforcement problems when they arise. He has helped solve some very big murder cases as well as lead efforts to find many a lost hunter as well as a lot of stuff in between.

Our county is safer because of Sheriff Todd Anderson and he has left some big shoes to fill. He will be missed but I wish him the best in his retirement from county service,” he said.

“As Tim McLain, the recently retired Superintendent of the Oregon State Police told me, ‘Mark, you have the best Sheriff in the entire state of Oregon.’ I agree.”
