COVID-19 update:

Hilary DorseyStaff Writer

Tillamook County Health Department

reported Wednesday, Sept. 22, 19 COVID-19 cases for the weekend case count from Friday, Sept. 17, through Sunday, Sept. 19. The 7-day case count was 90 from Sept. 12 through Sept. 18.

Administrator Marlene Putman reported during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Sept. 22 confirmed COVID-related deaths as of Sept. 19 are 23, with 20 of those individuals

unvaccinated, one individual with no vaccine record and two deaths of fully vaccinated individuals.

“Our COVID-19 related death toll was at five deaths until July,” Putman said. “Since this August, we have reached 23, with 18 of these deaths in 28 days. That’s nearly five times our pan-demic total is a short period of time.”

Oregon Health Authority confirmed active workplace outbreaks, as of Sept. 22, at Fred Meyer with 30 COV-ID-19 cases, Stimson Lumber with 20 cases, Tillamook

County Creamery Associa-tion with 15 cases, Tilla-mook Country Smoker with 14 cases, Adventist Health Tillamook with 12 cases, Adventist Health Tillamook Orthopedics with nine cases, Hampton Lumber Company with eight cases, and Misty Meadow Dairy with six cases.

As of Sept. 18, the test positivity rate was 11.2 percent from Sept. 12 through Sept. 18. It was at 16 percent during the previous 7-day period.

“Our test positivity rate has decreased, which is great

news,” Putman said. “That’s what we’re looking for, to try to get that down below 3 percent rate, which was the target prior to the surge.”

According to the health department, ivermectin is not a proven or safe treat-ment for COVID-19. It is an anti-parasite that can treat infections causes by round-worms, threadworms and other parasites.

Drive-up COVID-19 testing is available for those with symptoms or is a close contact of someone who has tested positive. The testing is available from 9 a.m. to

3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday or Friday at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds. There may be a wait time. Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic and local pharmacies are also providing testing.

Vaccine clinics are avail-able from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Tillamook County Fair-grounds Convention Center. No appointments are needed. Vaccines are also available at Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic, and local pharmacies.

Oregon is ready to make booster shots available to people who are eligible to

receive one, if the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup approves a federal recommendation to make booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine available to se-niors and people in high-risk categories.

Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ed Colson said federal officials would have more information on booster shots for Moderna and John-son & Johnson in the coming weeks.

Scientists looking for answers to climate impact along coast

As climate change impacts the environment, the coastal region of Oregon and California is likely to see more change.

David RupkalvisCountry Media

As the ocean changes due to climate change, the

pressure is on scientists and others to find a way to determine how the ocean will adapt and if people can help protect it.

During a discussion with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition last week, Mark Carr, a professor of marine ecology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the Uni-versity of California Santa Cruz, said the challenge is immense.

“In my humble opinion, climate change is the greatest challenge in our current time,” Carr said. “It manifests itself in many ways.”

Carr said as the ocean warms up, especially near the coast, there are clear changes in cur-rents, sea levels, acidity as well as temperature and precipitation.

To prepare for a changing coastal ocean, scientists like Carr must be prepared.

“How can we best prepare coastal marine life and human communities for the impact,” he said.

When looking at a species in the coastal ocean, Carr said there are three questions that must be answered. First, the likelihood of exposure. Second, sensitivity to change and finally, adaptive capacity.

“Those three factors ultimately determine the vulnerability of a particular species,” Carr said.

To prepare for the changes, Carr and a team created a climate vulnerability assessment. The as-sessment is not easy, but is could be effective.

“Climate change impacts are really complicated,” Carr said. “They have lots of feedback to the system that most of the vulnerability assessments don’t capture.”

The goals of the assessment plan created by Carr and his team are to identify vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities, empower communities for mitigation and

adaption to climate impact and avoid unintended conse-quences.

After creating a framework for the assessment, Carr and his team at Cal Santa Cruz tested it by looking back a few years. They looked back at the

devastation of the red sea urchin fishery. That event was brought on by two events, a marine heat wave from 2014 to 2016 from California to Washington at the same time that sea star wasting disease began eliminating most of the sea stars from the ocean.

The heat wave played a role by killing large portions of the kelp forest, which is the pri-mary food source for urchins. Sea stars, the main predator of urchins, were eliminated at the same time. The result is red urchins were forced to move to deeper water and purple urchins, which reproduce faster, began to take over.

When looking at the assess-ment, Carr said they look at four areas - the resource of interest, in this case the red sea urchins, the ecological community, human users and the overall human community.

“It’s important to recognize each one of these domains impacts the other domains, either directly or indirectly,” Carr said. “Each of these feedbacks interact with the resource domain. Cli-mate impacts are likely to impact all the domains.”

With the red sea urchins, the loss of kelp and a predator to control the purple urchins impacted the red sea urchins.

As a result, the purple urchins reproduced rapidly, leading to greater loss of the kelp forest as the urchins ate. The human users, or the people who fished for and processed the urchins lost work, and the greater community suf-fered when there were no urchins to eat.

The impact was felt greatest from Port Orford into Northern California, where the water tem-perature climbed 2 degrees.

“That marine heat wave is thought to be one of the largest marine heat waves in the world,” Carr said. “In the absence of food and the absence of predators, the purple sea urchin just went crazy. They came out and fed on all the algae.”

Interestingly, the warmer wa-ter itself did little to hurt the red sea urchin, but the impacts down the line did.

“The sensitivity of the red ur-chin to to the heat was was mini-mal,” Carr said. “Rather, indirect ecological interaction in the kelp field impacted the urchin.”

Carr said the impact is be-ing felt five year later because the kelp forests have not fully recovered.

“As soon as the kelp recovers

Children in Tillamook County, across Oregon and the United States may

soon be able to receive COVID-19 vaccina-tions.

According to a report in the American Academy of Pediatrics, children account for more than one in five new COVID-19 cases.

As of September 16, over 5.5 million chil-dren have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. Nearly 226,000 cases were added the past week, the third highest number of child cases in a week since the pandemic began, the American Academy of Pediatrics reports.

Oregon health officials have been closely monitoring the cases of COVID-19 in youth in the state and have said the virus is less severe in children.

Pfizer-BioNTech has announced that its coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective for children aged 5 to 11 years. The companies have applied to the Federal Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authoriza-tion. The use of the drug for children could be available within 30 days.

School districts across the state are devel-oping specific protocols and procedures if they have to quarantine students and staff that may have been exposed to COVID-19.

The Headlight Herald reached out to Kati Moseley, Oregon Department of Education (ODE) Ready Schools Resiliency Manager, for insight into the COVID-19 impact at the schools.

The Herald: Is it surprising to the ODE to see the outbreaks at our schools, given the procedures and protocols that had been estab-lished for in-person instruction and approved by the state for the new school year?

Kati Moseley: It is unsurprising to see cases in schools, given schools are imple-menting layered COVID-19 mitigation pro-tocols to slow transmission. These protocols may include things like symptom screening, reminders to families to keep children home if they have symptoms, and of course diag-nostic testing. Having access to rapid testing in schools means that schools will find cases.

The success of these layered mitigation measures also means that we are seeing very few instances of COVID-19 spread in schools. Schools that are implementing lay-ered mitigation protocols rigorously are not seeing spread in schools.

The Herald: With the outbreak of COV-ID-19 cases at schools in Oregon, what ODE policies and procedures are in place now and what more needs to be done to help guide school districts as they navigate through this latest pandemic challenge?

Moseley: Since the pandemic started in

COVID-19 vaccines for children could be available soon

With Congress working hard to ap-prove funding to keep the government open, Democratic senators from the West Coast said the budget must include fund-ing to deal with climate change.

During a press call Wednesday, the senators, led by Patty Murray from Washington and Oregon’s two senators, said the country cannot afford to wait when it comes to climate change.

“In Western states, we got hit by a heat wave that literally made the pavement on our highways buckle,” Murray said. “We’ve been hit by severe drought, and we’re not out of the woods yet on what has been a really tough wildfire season. These are really stark reminders to all of us up close and personal that the climate crisis is here and now, not some distant worry for another day.”

Murray said Congress must have a sense of urgency to handle climate change and they have to invest in a renewable electric grid.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said the rec-onciliation package must include funding for climate change and must include it now. Wyden said those who live in Or-egon have seen them impact of climate change first-hand.

“For those of us in the West, the real-ity is these are not your grandfather’s fires,” Wyden said. “They’re hotter, they’re more powerful, they leap over rivers and it’s hot and it’s dry and if someone drops a match, all of a sudden you have an inferno on your hands. You saw that with the Bootleg fire in Oregon this summer, where in effect is was so

powerful it moved the weather.”Wyden said the Build Back Better

plan must include three components to address climate change. The first is to create a 21st Century Civilian Conserva-tion Corps.

“What we ought to be doing is put-ting thousands and thousands of young people to work in these woods,” Wyden said. “They ought to be do preventative work to prevent the future Bootleg fires.”

The second step is to use the volun-teers to do more prescribed burns.

“What you do is you go in during the cooler, winter months and do careful burns, and you’re able to prevent fires later on in the hot and dry season,” Wyden said.

The third step is to reduce carbon emissions.

“My Clean Energy for America Act is the lynchpin for what we’re going to be doing to grow clean energy in America and support thousands of good-paying jobs,” Wyden said.

He said the bill would get rid of 44 tax cuts for the energy industry and replace them with three tax breaks for clean ener-gy, clean transition and energy efficiency.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley also said it is time to act.

“Last Labor Day, I drove 600 miles and never got out of the smoke in Or-egon,” Merkley said. “It is a sight I never want to see again. We have to wake up and smell the smoke and recognize the enormous increase in fire is being drive by climate change. We need to wake up and swim the waters where rainstorms have dumped unprecedented amounts of water in the midwest and flooded cities.”

Merkley said fixing the climate crisis

can be done and it can be done now.“The answer is pretty simple, elec-

trify everything with renewable energy,” Merkley said. “Put renewable energy on the grid to replace fossil energy on the grid. That is what Build Back Better does. It has an investment in a climate corps. It has tax abatements for solar and wind. It may well have another incentive like carbon tax to help drive transition, and it will have forest management in it. We have a lot of work to do. We have to pass Build Back Batter.”

The final speaker was California Sen. Alex Padilla, who said Californians see the impact of climate change every day.

“For families in California, the climate crisis has become a daily reality,” Padilla said. “This summer, as many of you saw, thousands of Californians were forced to flee their homes. Families in other parts of California have either torn out the crops or lit acres and acres on fire because of the escalating drought.”

Padilla said the Democrats must use their majorities in Congress to pass Build Back Better now.

“The entire western United State has been on fire,” he said. “Fossil fuels have pushed our planet to a climate catas-trophe. Yet, many of our Republican colleagues are ignoring clear, compelling scientific evidence. We have the Demo-crat majority, and we know what needs to happen. But our path to stopping a catastrophic cycle in narrowing today. We need to act and we need to act boldly to combat our climate crisis head on.

“Building back better also means building back more sustainable.”

Democrat senators push for climate change investment


Bay City resident Stephen Taylor recently published his first book, “Your Cat Won’t Do That!: Observa-tions and Advice for Cat Compan-ions from a Longtime Cat-Sitter.” The book provides guidance on best practices for leaving your cat with a sitter, as well as offering words of wisdom on cat care. The book was published in August.

Taylor said the book grew out of his experience living in California, working part time as a cat sitter for 10 years. His cat sitting business was by word of mouth and no advertis-ing.

“I kept it strictly between friends kind of thing,” Taylor said. “I wound up having a small stable of clients, probably a couple dozen cats, maybe six or seven households.”

Every time Taylor would go to a house, the owners said the cat will do this and that, and Taylor found the cats would not always do what the owners said they would. That became Taylor’s general rule: your cat won’t do that.

“There’s a lot of these things that people sort of do that there could be better ways of going about it,” Taylor said. “I started to compile a list of those things and those became the bare bones of the book.”

Taylor originally wrote the introduction of the book thinking it would be an essay but there was enough material for a short book.

“One of the motivating factors was that I work as a graphic artist and I have for about a quarter of a century now,” Taylor said.

Taylor wanted to write a book and be involved in the total project management of a full book. Taylor designed the cover, did some of the layout and created the website.

While living in California, Taylor worked as a cat care partner at Tony Larussa’s Animal Rescue Foun-dation, where he helped prepare hundreds of cats for adoption. He worked there from 2011 to 2019, when he moved to Bay City. He would socialize with cats to prepare them for adoption.

The cover model on the book, Taylor’s own cat, passed away last year. He wants to adopt more cats

but is hesitant to do so during the CO-VID-19 pandemic, as he has underly-ing health condi-tions.

Taylor said the

book was written as a tribute to some of the cats he sat. There are pictures in the book of former clients cats and his own beloved cat. He acknowledged clients in the back of the book.

“A lot of people when they do cat sitting they drop in and they feed them and change the litter,” Taylor said. “I always wanted to be not just a cat sitter but sort of a house sitter too because I wanted to make sure I was spending time with the cats and was giving them the best experi-ence that they could have while their companion families were out traveling.”

Taylor has written a number of articles and essays published in vari-ous venues, including manuscripts of some children’s books, an essay for Baseball Research Journal, an essay for Watching Backyard Birds, and several cat stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

Taylor said publishing the book has inspired him to look at older, unpublished work he has done. He may convert some of these stories to e-books and publish them online.

Bonus content of “Your Cat Won’t Do That!” will be posted on the web-site within the next month or so.

“I want to address some more general questions like why do you actually need a cat sitter, why it’s better to have someone come to your house to do the cat sitting as opposed to boarding them,” Taylor said.

“Your Cat Won’t Do That!” is available for purchase online at Amazon, BookLocker, Barnes and Noble, and more. You can also ask your local bookstore to order a copy for you. A copy of the book will also

soon be available for check out at the Tillamook County Library.

from the heat wave, the red urchin will be back,” Carr said. “The marine heat wave only impacted the Northern California fishery. The South-ern California fishery was not impacted.”

Carr said the people who fish for urchins had minimal impact as well because they were able to find other work. However, the processors did struggle.

Carr said going back and looking at a past event will help scientists prepare for a future one.

“If we have another heat wave, you could ask what’s going that going to do to the Port Orford fishery,” Carr said. “You could adjust this to get some answers. It requires local experience. It requires the knowledge of people in that system.”

Another question that can be answered is how long the impact will last. And it could be longer than expected.

“To this day, we’re only now starting to see more of the kelp recover,” Carr said. “The prognosis of Northern California is pretty bleak. You need to change the urchin population in order for the kelp to recover.”

There is good news and bad news when looking at the 2014-16 heat wave.

“How often are we going to see the event,” Carr asked. “That will be a big key as to recovery. If we start seeing

more heat waves that could shift the system.”

Phillip Johnson, the executive director of Oregon Shores, said Carr’s presen-tation is one of a series of events Oregon Shores is doing in 2021 as part of a celebra-tion of its 50th anniversary.

“We potentially address any conservation issue along the Oregon coast,” Johnson said. “Anything that does threaten the Oregon coast, we do care about deeply.”

A marine heat wave followed by the loss of sea stars led to purple urchins reproducing in record numbers, putting further strain on the kelp forests from California to Washington.

Staff Report

It is first time Oregon’s unemployment rate dropped below 5% since March 2020, when the rate was 3.6%. Oregon’s unemployment rate was below 5% in only two other periods since 1976 when comparable records began.

During 14 consecutive months in the mid-1990s when the rate dropped to as low as 4.5%; and during the 51 consecutive months during 2016 through March 2020 when the rate dropped to a record low of 3.3% in late

2019.The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to

5.2% in August from 5.4% in July.In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment

grew by 7,900 in August, following monthly gains averaging 10,300 in the prior seven months. Gains in August were largest in government (+3,500 jobs); wholesale trade (+1,400); leisure and hospitality (+1,200); and professional and business services (+1,000). Only one major industry cut jobs: retail trade (-1,900 jobs).

Since the low point of April 2020, at the economic depths of the COVID-induced reces-sion, Oregon has recovered 204,700 jobs, or 72% of the jobs lost during the recession.

Leisure and hospitality added 1,200 jobs in August, following a gain of 6,100, as revised, in July. Despite these gains, it still accounts for the bulk of Oregon’s jobs not recovered since early 2020, with 44,300 jobs left to recover to reach the prior peak month of February 2020. The industry has regained 60% of jobs lost early in the pandemic.

Employment in health care and social assis-tance has been relatively flat all year. This ma-jor industry recovered substantial jobs in mid- through late-2020, but is still down 10,400 jobs, or 4%, since its pre-recession peak of February 2020. Over the past year, nursing and residential care facilities have been especially weak, having lost 1,300 jobs since August 2020. Meanwhile, two component industries have expanded in the past 12 months: ambula-tory health care services (+3,100 jobs) and social assistance (+1,100 jobs).

Oregon unemployment rate falls below 5 percent

spring 2020, ODE, in col-laboration with the Oregon Health Authority, has been providing guidance to schools and districts. All of our guidance is on the ODE website. ODE and OHA are in constant discussions about current conditions and when conditions change and war-rant additional guidance, our

framework is updated and schools notified.

The Herald: What are you telling parents that they need to do to ensure that their children stay safe and to prevent COVID-19 from spreading in their school?

Moseley: Parents can role model and support wearing a face covering when interact-ing with people outside of your household and practice keeping a 3’ distance so kids can learn what it looks and feels like. For the start of the

school year, ODE and OHA developed these five tips for families to help reduce the chances of getting or spread-ing COVID-19. We also shared that information and a helpful infographic in a press release to Oregon media.

The Herald: At what point would the ODE and/or Gov. Brown decide that schools must return to distant learning to ensure the health and safety of our school children, or is that now up to local school districts?

Moseley: The instruc-tional model a district uses is a local decision.

By the numbersThe Oregon Health Au-

thority’s COVID-19 Weekly Report, released Sept. 22, shows decreases in daily COVID-19 cases and hospi-talizations and an increase in deaths.

OHA reported 11,655 new cases of COVID-19 during the week of Monday,

Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 19. That represents a 10% decrease from the previous week.

There were 579 new COVID-19 hospitalizations, down slightly from 592 last week.

There were 148 reported COVID-19 related deaths, up from 120 reported the previous week.

There were 140,538 tests for COVID-19 for the week of Sept. 12 through Sept. 18. The percentage of positive

tests was 10.5%, down from 12% the previous week and the lowest level of test posi-tivity in six weeks.

Local, state and federal health officials continue to stress that vaccinations, wearing face coverings and social distancing are key factors in slowing the COVID-19 pandemic. Free COVID-19 vaccinations are available at most pharmacies and health clinics.

The Cape Meares Com-munity Association

(CMCA) held its first meeting in more than 18 months on Saturday, Sept. 18, at 3 p.m. Some community members attended in person at the Barbara Bennett Commu-nity Center, whereas others attended via Zoom, thanks to the technical assistance of An-nesa Eastburn. The most sig-nificant event of the meeting was the passing of the baton, both literally and figuratively, from Deborah Thomas Neal to Wendy Burroughs as presi-dent of CMCA. Many, many thanks to Deborah for her years of service and dedica-

tion to our community, and a great big welcome to Wendy as the new guardian of all we hold near and dear in Cape Meares. As stated on our web-site, www.capemeares.org, “The Cape Meares Com-

munity Association serves as a catalyst to promote social interaction and exchange of ideas around com-mon educational interests, environmental stewardship, historical preservation, and community well-being.” It is with confidence that we wel-come Wendy to carry on this mission. Not alone, of course; in fact, she may be contacting YOU to ask for help in filling gaps in our board/commit-tee memberships. Here’s to a resumption of our community gatherings, some important and some just frivolous fun!

BJ’s baaaack! BJ Byron rolled into Cape Meares

after several months at her family farm in Michigan. The highlight of the summer was a family reunion in her aunt’s backyard. BJ and her sister, Jill, enjoyed visiting and sharing good food with about 50 relatives, including all their cousins from that side of the family. Naturally, there was a little family competi-tion as well. BJ smiled as she reported that she was the self-proclaimed winner of the cornhole competition, stopped early because of a 15-minute torrential downpour that she says is typical of variable Michigan weather. Good to have you back, BJ!

On a recent beach walk, I found a blue cloth bag with a Walmart logo. It was covered with sea growth, includ-ing little barnacles. I picked it up and placed litter in it (including two disposable facemasks), then deposited it in the relatively new City Sanitary trash can at the end of Bayocean Road. That trash can and the porta-potty are improvements to the main access to Cape Meares beach. I don’t know if they are just for the summer or not; I hope they remain a regular feature to help keep our beach clean.

Capt. Pete and I went salmon fishing up the Tilla-

mook River one nice morning before the fall rains set in. We didn’t catch a fish, but when we got back to Memaloose, we found out that the boat that should have caught fish had. That was a brave man out with five boys in his boat! Two boys appeared to be teenagers and the other three elementary-aged kids. We saw one of the younger boys lift the prized Chinook, short and fat, out of the boat and into a fish box from the back of their van. Then all the boys piled in the van and, pulling the boat behind, the group triumphantly left the parking lot. Way to go, guys!

Suicide Prevention Awareness month this

September is winding up, but there’s one more free training on offer to our community. “Mental Health First Aid,” is a free online course provided by Oregon State University. The training helps partici-pants develop the skills and confidence to help others in crisis and promote heal-ing. Topics covered include mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders and mental health stigma. Instruc-tion will also cover com-munity resources for getting help, and how to respond to a person in crisis.

It consists of two hours of self-paced online con-tent followed by a six hour training via videoconference. Registration is open through October 8 by going to http://beav.es/UJ8. Registrants will receive course materi-als around October 14. The self-paced portion must be completed by October 28.The online videoconference is planned from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Octo-ber 29. For more informa-tion, contact [email protected].

Next week (October 3-9) is Fire Prevention Safety week.

Free education printables are available at http://www.vol-unteerfirefighteralliance.org/education.html. The site also has free materials available to ship to educators and Fire Departments.

We appreciate Nestucca Fire Chief Jim Oeder provid-ing word that Hebo Fire Station has smoke detec-tors available to install or to replace existing detectors that are not responsive to testing. Check your home. Working smoke detectors should be installed near the breaker box, in the kitchen and near each bedroom door. There should be at least one detector for each floor of the home. Hard wired detectors need to be serviced by an electrician.

The Audobon Society of Lincoln City is hosting a hike for birders in Beavercreek State Natural Area. Terrain

will include both marsh and upland habitat. It’s planned from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 9. Participants should dress for the weather and meet in the Ona Beach parking lot. They expect to see ducks headed north for winter, songbirds, wading birds, hawks and woodpeckers.

Tillamook County Public Health is offering free drive-up COVID-19 testing at Til-lamook County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Free drive-up vac-cinations are available there from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Fairgrounds are east of down-town Tillamook on Third Street. Enter through the gate on 3rd Street by the 4-H dorm building and follow the path to their testing tents. No appointments are required. Testing will be performed while you are in your car. For additional information, call 503-842-3914 during regular business hours (English and Spanish) or go to tillamook-chc.org.

Don’t forget that Neskowin Farmer’s Market happens from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. weekly on Saturdays.

They’re located on the east side of U.S. Highway 101 at the corner of Summit Lane across from Neskowin Beach Wayside. For more informa-tion, go to neskowinfarm-ersmarket.com. Pacific City Farmer’s Market runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sun-days. It’s located in the park-ing lot of South Tillamook County Library on Camp Street (off of Brooten Road) in Pacific City. While some vendors participate in both markets, many do not, so it’s worth attending both--or alternating between the two, if that suits your schedule and location.

Happy birthday this week to: Carolyn Douglas, Ja-son Hagan, Anna Hagerty, Colleen Hagerty, Lennie Heitsman, Nicole Hurli-man, Chris Nelson, Jr. and Waymon Trent. Because October marks a second year of relying on the 2029 Community Calendar for our birthdays (and some months are missing) I appreciate your patience with an approximat-ed list. If there are birthdays that you want to see honored in this space, please contact me using the information near my photo, above.

Well, this column is going to be loaded

with interesting items, so I will not waste time and get into it!

Remember a few months ago I mentioned turning Miller Street, between the old Railroad Station and 20th into Storybook Lane? This is a wonderful idea Winnie Mercer has wanted to do in memory of her

Aunt, who was a childhood author. So far there are two benches on Miller Street for all to enjoy. They are a place of rest if you are tired after a long walk, or parents can sometimes read to their children and make precious memories with them. So far you can find Winnie the Pooh and Jonathan Livings-ton Seagull benches.

So, the theme of each bench would be a children’s book or a character in a child’s book and the goal is to simply just have a place to rest and enjoy the view of our Lake Lytle. If you own a property along this stretch of road, please consider placing a themed bench along this stretch of road, or if you want to get involved, ask one of these owners if you can help them place a bench. Our wonderful folks in town can assist in keeping this stretch of road neat and clean, and this road may, perhaps some day, be a des-tination for tourists. What a nice memorial for Winnie’s aunt.

“The camera is an instru-ment that teaches people how to see without a cam-era.” Several months ago I met Marilyn and David El-kins while we were walking the Manhattan Beach area.

What a nice couple. Well, I have been so impressed with their accomplishments since then, I decided to share with you what I have learned about Marilyn. She has two hobbies that are quickly making her a name in our little community. She is quite accomplished at greenhouse gardening and her photography is nothing short of professional. She and David used to volunteer at the Rockaway Beach Po-lice Department and Marilyn would give her photographs to the folks that donated to the police department. After our department left, folks were still asking for photos, so she decided to build a website to showcase and sell her photos. Since, Marilyn has gotten a business license and her photos are selling! On the website you can pick your favorite photo and purchase it printed on metal, canvas or have it framed and matted.

Local businesses have begun promoting her new business too. The Little Crow, (Anne Savage), show-cased eight photos in her shop from the last week in May until July 1st. The Ne-halem Bay Winery has even asked her to hang her photos for folks to buy. The 30% of the money that the winery makes selling her photos is donated to an orphanage in Cambodia. You will also find her photos at the Silver Sands Motel, Sunset Surf Motel in Manzanita and four of them are in our City Hall. So, you don’t need Internet to purchase one. You can find them all over!

If you are interested in purchasing online, and

seeing all the beauty in one place, go to MKElkinspho-tography.com. The theme of most of her photography is Rockaway Beach. Her passions, and some of my personal favorites, are pho-tos of the Milky Way from the beach in Rockaway. Our community is so pictur-esque, that photo opportuni-ties are endless, and with Marilyn’s talent, you may even find beauty you have missed. Marilyn is even sell-ing calendars and sold 63 of them in one day.

Marilyn confided to me that she recently received a message from a man who has seen some of her fabulous photos of our town on community websites and asked for her recommenda-tion on where to propose to his girlfriend. He brought her to Rockaway Beach from Missouri and proposed to her on the same night that she was taking a Milky Way photo in August. He bought that photo from her web page

and then asked that she take a few photos of them of their engagement. Since he had bought a large metal print already, Marilyn met them on the beach by the Twin Rocks at that golden hour before sunset. She took a couple dozen photos and it was her perfect engagement gift to both of them.

Thank you Marilyn for sharing your story. I abso-lutely enjoyed it, and I will continue to enjoy your pho-tography online and in town. And yes, Life is Good….

“A photograph is the pause button of life.” That’s Rockaway Beach, “Sugar Coated!”

Brooke JohnstonOperations Assistant Intern

Time flies when you’re having fun — and

especially when you’re help-ing the Chamber build a new charitable organization that will benefit your hometown!

Let me rewind for a quick second, because this is the first Chamber Chatter I’ve written. My name is Brooke Johnston, and for the last four months, I’ve served as the Operations Assistant Intern at the Chamber. You might remember me from the welcome article the Chamber published about me, though it did use my maiden name at the time because it came out before my wedding.

I’m a lifelong Tillamook resident, and I graduated from Tillamook High School in 2019. Now I’m studying nonprofit management at the University of Oregon in Eugene. The Chamber kindly offered me an internship so I could get real-world experience and fulfill one of my degree requirements to graduate.

My internship at the Chamber focused on helping with general, day-to-day operations. You may have seen me around at Cham-ber HQ, delivering visitor guides, helping Sayde at the Farmer’s Market or even sell-ing apparel at the Tillamook County Fair.

I also got the exciting opportunity to help lay the groundwork for the Chamber Community Foundation, a charitable organization the Chamber intends to launch

later this fall. For those that don’t know,

The Tillamook Chamber is a 501c6 mutual benefit membership organization. That means it is limited in the types of grants it can apply for, and it cannot offer tax incentives for people wishing to donate money through the Chamber. As a 501c3 charitable organization, the community foundation will have access to a much larger pool of grant money and will be able to offer tax incentives for donors.

The foundation also will have a broader mission state-ment that allows it to run community programs beyond the Chamber’s focus on its members. For example, the Chamber envisions starting a Young Professionals group under the foundation, be-cause it would allow the net-work to provide educational and workforce development opportunities beyond the Chamber’s direct member-ship benefits.

The specific details for what kinds of programs the foundation will run are

still in the works, and the Chamber plans to work with other community leaders to determine how to shape the foundation in a way to best fit the needs of Tillamook. Stay tuned for updates in the coming months, and feel free to contact Justin at [email protected] if you have any questions about the foundation at this point.

Although there is still work to do before the founda-tion launches, I am proud to have played a part in building a strong basis it can grow from. I can’t wait to watch the organization benefit the community when it’s up and running, even if I’m leaving before I get to see it all start.

This was my first time working with a nonprofit, and I really enjoyed applying the concepts I’ve learned in class at UO to the real world. I’m also excited to return to my final year of college with practical skills and a real-world knowledge of how to start a charitable organiza-tion. I also have the advan-tage of understanding the difference between a 501c3 and 501c6 and how those two organizations can legally exist together. That’s not too bad for an undergraduate!

So now I return to UO to finish up my degree; I graduate in spring 2022 (Go Ducks!) My plan for now is to come back to Tillamook after graduation to gain more career experience in my hometown. I’d like to work at a local nonprofit and, if it all works out, continue to help the Chamber Community Foundation as it grows.

From my Chamber internship comes a community foundation

TALES FROM THE LIBRARYBill Landau

Tillamook County Library

Questions, questions, questions! At the

library, we are accustomed to hearing lots and lots of questions. Answering such inquiries is what we are trained to do. I thought I would give you a light-hearted look at some of the more “interesting” questions we have heard at the library. But right off the bat, I want to tell you the most eye-roll-ing proposition some of our female librarians get from time to time... “If I have my library card, can I check YOU out?”

Luckily, most of the ques-tions we get are legitimate. People ask us to help them find old obituaries, phone numbers or addresses they are trying to locate, how to get special tax forms they need, and other practical inquiries. Then there are the questions we get that make us wonder if they are serious or just pulling our leg.

Back when I was working in a library near the Grand Canyon, a patron asked me if I had the schedule for the el-evator that takes people to the bottom of the canyon. I had to break it to them that there was no such thing.

But we get lots of interest-ing questions around Tilla-mook County, too. Here are some of my favorites over the years:

• Do you have any books with actual photographs of real dinosaurs when they were alive?

• Can I pay for photocopies using these postage stamps?

• I have to go to a job in-terview. Can I leave my kids here for the afternoon?

• I was here last week and there was a book sitting right on this shelf. It was blue? Do you know where it is?

• Do you have any lotion? My hands are really dry.

• Is it OK if I bring my par-rot into the library?

• Can people swim around the cape at Cape Lookout?

• Is there really a basketball court in the clocktower of the library? (No, but thanks for the idea!)

• Has anyone read ALL these books?

• I have a bunch of jewelry to sell. Can I go around the library and ask people if they want to buy any?

• If I promise not to mess anything up, can I sleep for just one night in the library? I have always wanted to sleep all night in a library.

Of course, the answer to all the above questions is a polite “no”. But that doesn’t mean we always say no to every question! We don’t ever want to give the impression that we are not approachable. We subscribe to the old adage...it never hurts to ask! Hope to see you and hear your ques-tions in the Tillamook County Library soon.

Commissioners should meet when we can attend

This letter is to address the county commissioners weekly meetings scheduled on Wednesday during the morn-ing hours. This is when the working class, the majority of us, are busy working and cannot participate. We are try-ing to feed our families, pay our taxes, rent/mortgages and keep the lights on. It should be a top priority, of county commissions, to provide for and accommodate the major-ity of citizens to participate in the county government they elected. I would be attending meetings often if I had the opportunity to participate. I’m especially interested when the county commissioners (our elected officials) are sched-uled to vote on various issues that affect Tillamook County. We have a right to participate in this process, it directly affects the quality of life for Tillamook residents, young and old.

I sympathize with fellow citizens who have concerns for their health in this time when covid is still claiming

the lives of high risk people. Yes it’s frightening and yes we can provide comfort for those with concerns with mask wearing and physical distancing. However, please keep in mind that for most of the population there’s a 99+% recovery rate. Lets get back to open meetings when citizens can actually attend and participate. Studies out of Israel are showing that people who have natural antibodies are many times more likely to resist covid and it’s variants than people who have been vaccinated. As this informa-tion becomes more available it should relieve most restric-tions and hysteria from our daily lives. After all our coun-try has been through much worse...think about it.

Asking simple questions why?

I am not an intellect. I am not an idiot. I am a normal, everyday, wife, mother, grand-mother and great grandmother and have lived over 6 decades. I have faith and belief in a

Creator. I do my best not to judge others and my best not to pick fights or sides. I have never been a quiet person with no opinions. I am not a conspiracy theorist but ques-tion many things these days and search for knowledge and truth. I do feel the American people and possibly the world has been duped, deceived and lied to in the past year and a half about several different, but very important things.

I have done some in-depth digging into questions of the plague that encircles the world today. There are questions about origins but at this point in time, for me, who cares. It’s here and it is affecting life on the planet for the majority of human beings in one way or another.

In the past few days I have read and watched videos from one of the nation’s leading industrial hygiene experts, Stephen E. Petty. Industrial hygiene experts are the people who make it possible for people to fly in airplanes, build skyscrapers with proper ventilation, and basically al-low construction and human

Greetings Bay City! Happy October!

You can’t see me, but I am jumping for joy! October is here, my favorite month of the year. Yes, it is my birth-day, and, yes, it is true, I do celebrate the entire month of October. But that is not why I love October. I love all things fall: Sitting by the fireplace with Kin, each with a good book; Changing the closets from summer clothes to fall; Canning food for the winter (although I don’t put gingham covers tied with ribbon on the lids anymore). I love the time spent outdoors in cold, crisp air gathering sticks and leaves to lay across my mantle. I love warm sweaters and blue jeans, falling leaves, and how the light looks in the late

afternoon, tartan plaid wool blankets, and fall football games with the Beavers or Linfield Wildcats. I love making soup and homemade bread with my friends. Most of all I love the feeling of putting away summer and preparing for winter. I love gathering friends together like a squirrel gathering nuts, not that any of them are nuts – well, maybe a few – but they are my favorite friends anyway. I just like all things fall.

Speaking of preparing, fall is also a perfect time to gather as a community to prepare for winter storms. If you haven’t been to an emergency preparedness meeting for a while, there is a lot of new information available; and if

you have never been to one, it will be well worth your time. The city has easy to follow information packets for you to take home with you. If you are interested in becoming a captain or co-captain for your neighbor-hood, you will receive a map of your neighborhood and captain job description. The Map Your Neighborhood

(MYN) program “Consists of neighborhoods led by captains who collect infor-mation regarding the tools, resources, skills, and special needs from each neighbor so that their neighborhoods are ready to respond to problems and help the most vulner-able when disaster strikes. Neighborhood captains train their neighbors in the steps to take immediately following a disaster, beginning at home, and then reaching throughout the neighborhood.” So, mark your calendar everyone for Monday, Oct. 18th at 5:00 PM at City Hall. Don’t forget, masks are required.

If you are looking for ways to give back to your commu-nity, you’re in luck. The city of Bay City has announced

that they now have two open-ings on City Council and three openings on the Plan-ning Commission. You will be serving alongside people who are freely giving their time to serve their community for the betterment of all. It doesn’t get any better than that!

City Council meets the second Monday and Tuesday of each month. Next month’s meetings are Monday, Oct. 11th at 5:30 PM and Tues-day, Oct. 12th at 6:00 PM. If you wish to bring questions or concerns to the council, please submit them ahead of meeting day. For more information call City Hall at (503)377-2288. Masks are required.

I share my October birthday with some very fine

people: Karen Allenbrand, Ramon Barajas, Karen Bowyer, Valerie Brace, Ben Douglas, Whitney McCraw, Teresa Callahan, Bill Landau, Rich Snyder, Mike Brown, Norma Seely, and sending special birthday wishes to my daughter Marilyn Jo who was born on October 31st and turns 51. Wait, that can’t be right! It wasn’t that long ago that I turned 51!

I am closing with a pas-sage from English poet, John Donne (1572-1631):

“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face”

Thank you for reading the Fencepost, and I will see you next week.

use approval for any business needing to operate with clean air for the people. Mr. Petty offered his expert advice to the White House and was re-jected. Based on what, I have no idea other than they did not want his expert advice on how to deal effectively with an aerosol virus, namely Co-vid-19. He was dismissed by the White House as I am sure many other leading experts in many different fields have been dismissed. You can read or view this information at many different locations but I offer these two for starters:

https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2021/04/06/masks-do-nothing-to-stop-the-spread-of-covid-and-are-harming-children/?fbclid=IwAR1VxXLRqlCluEUuean3-uCv4RBE-M009HeK1BGLMhDoI_Paj-W049-lFnxk

My questions are why would any leading expert in his or her field of knowledge not be a valuable asset to a nation looking for answers and ways to contain a deadly disease? Why would the leaders in charge of a nation not want every single lead-ing expert in the fields of medicine, science, hygiene, containment, destruction of, lifesaving treatment for or cure for a disease that is affecting and killing human life on the planet for over 525 days? Why would the govern-ment officials dismiss anyone a lifetime of expert knowl-edge and advice in order to save nations across the globe from economic collapse? Why have these valuable leading experts, who are used by the legal systems to verify validity in court cases, not be

used by a government who is set in place to help and protect the people in times of crisis? Why would any gov-ernment set into place rules, restrictions, mandates, and use coercion, but yet not use the advice, knowledge and expertise of leading experts in the various fields to stop the disease?

Can anyone tell me why?

Debbi ReevesTillamook

Getting vaccinatedCommissioner Yama-

moto recently opined in the Washington Post that he feared President Biden’s mandates on vaccines will put more lives at risk. He believes workers will quit rather than get vaccinated, leaving patients and assisted-living residents in peril and costing lives. He believes we should pursue alternative means such as weekly testing. (The President’s mandates do

include weekly testing should vaccinations be resisted.)

Having not heard much lo-cal talk about testing, I called the Tillamook County Health Department and learned that testing here happens three times weekly available ONLY IF you have the symp-toms or have been exposed to someone with covid. Should you wish to get tested “just to know,” for travel or going back to work, it is recom-mended you contact Rite-Aid or Walgreens in Hillsboro and make an appointment. A vaccine would certainly be easier than weekly trips to Hillsboro.

Andy Slavitt, former Biden White House Se-nior Advisor for COVID Response, said this week that the economy is losing 15 million working hours/week with people sick or in quarantine. That number could be cut drastically if vaccinations increased. The administration’s mandates are directed toward private sector businesses with more than 100 employees. How many of those do we have in the county that would be adversely affected?

I also think the majority of our “health care work-ers” in the fire and rescue volunteer positions are by their very definition those who care and want to help their community, volunteer-ing because they believe in helping each other. I don’t believe they would hold back because of “lack of financial incentive. “

Increased vaccinations would also greatly re-lieve the burden placed on Hospital workers and save resources for other medi-cal emergencies, elective surgeries and more.

Once most of us are vac-cinated, the sooner busi-nesses everywhere can get back to providing services and the better our economy will function. The sooner we won’t be losing our friends and loved ones.

President Biden wants to protect our communities both national and local, by mandating vaccines to help each other get beyond this

rapid infection rate of the Delta strain. That is what Governor Brown is wanting as well. No, the vaccines do not prevent us from ever get-ting covid for the first time or in few instances a second time, but they do greatly lessen the chances we will be hospitalized and even more that we will not die in what we now know to be a lonely and frightening death.

I don’t believe those who are resisting vaccines are bad people, but I do wish they would listen to those who are truly expert in the field of public health. Not facebook or pundits, but those who have made fighting these diseases their life’s work.

Diane ConcordTillamook

Questions to consider

Here are a few questions to consider: Why are the hospitals telling people with COVID symptoms to go home, and if it gets worse, come to the hospital, thus, suppressing early treatment and the use of long-approved, FDA medications like hy-droxychloroquine, ivermec-tin, and azithromycin, which have reduced hospitalizations by over 80% in those who have used it early on. And why is the government now making it much more difficult to acquire these medications, which I have personally experienced?

And why are the following groups of people exempted from the government’s vac-cine mandate, such as the entire U.S. Congress, all postal service employees, the Supreme Court, and most of the rest of the judiciary system, while the rest of us are being forced to undergo a grossly under-tested, poten-tially life-threatening, mes-senger RNA genetic therapy experiment, the largest medical experiment in human history? If the vaccine is such a “wonder drug,” why would these groups be exempt from taking it? Why would they even want to be exempt?

It’s enough to make you

start thinking that the lock-step narrative we’re being force-fed by many medical authorities and most of the media, has exempted itself from the truth.

Alan KernGaribaldi

Response to my own letter

This is in response to my own letter to the editor dated September 7th with respect to what the government should and should not do for me.

Upon further reflection, I must ask myself if there is any aspect of government, or any elected person that should, or does, make my life better. Clearly the closer to home the government, the more likely one would directly feel the impact of betterment at the hand of government. Given my own parameters, the mayor of the city should be more influential to my daily life than the U.S. President. I have concluded that the most beneficial service any level of government provides for me that might make my life better is a subset of city government. I speak not of an elected person, not even a person known to me, or most citizens served by this person. I think the person who picks up my trash in the wee hours of every Thursday morning serves me better than anyone else I can think of. No matter the weather, no matter how stinky my trash is, no matter what I toss in the city pro-vided receptacle, my life is better because of that service. He or she, or whomever it is, no matter what gender he or she is, or what pronoun he or she desires I use when addressing him or her, serves my needs beyond my expec-tations. Elected officials may fail in their promises to the voters, but the trash person has never failed me. Thank you whoever you are and thank you city government for providing that service.

Missing Hillsboro man found dead Early Sunday morn-

ing, Sept. 19, deputies and search and rescue (SAR) teams from Clackamas, Washington and Tilla-mook Counties continued their search for a missing 85-year-old Hillsboro man. The area of the search was focused in the northernmost part of Tillamook County, accessed by Hwy 26.

“The missing man’s ve-hicle was found parked, out of gas on Saturday between 2-3 p.m. near milepost 32 on Hwy 26,” said Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) Marine Deputy Kelly Awe, the SAR coordi-nator for this mission. “The man had a history of demen-tia for about a year. We have a K9 team also working the area.”

According to the sher-iff’s office, around 10 a.m., search teams located the man deceased. The recovery involved special-ized equipment and a rope rescue team. It appears the man walked away from his vehicle. No foul play is suspected at this time.

“Although these SAR missions can be difficult and often heartbreaking, they more often are rewarding and come with the satisfac-tion that you are helping others in need,” said TCSO Sheriff Joshua Brown. “We are in need of more SAR volunteers, and our team has created a unique training program that works around a volunteer’s schedule. We will be highlighting this new program soon and I hope more people in the commu-nity will see it as an oppor-tunity to step up and lend a hand.”

Betty Marie Crisp lived in Rockaway Beach

from 1975 through 2014, when health considerations forced her return to the Portland area, where she was born in 1923. She was the daughter of James “Ray” Cayo, who had a fishing cabin out Makinster Road for many years in the 1950s-1970s. During her years in Rockaway she worked as a relief pharmacist up and down Tillamook County, including Rinehart Clinic, Rockaway Pharmacy (when there was one), in Garibaldi, and the trio of her buddies “Chuck, Gary, and George” in Tillamook. Betty was married to Glenn S. Crisp, Jr, who taught industrial arts at Tillamook High School before his retirement. Glenn also served on the City Council of Rockaway Beach.

Betty was truly a feminist pioneer. She graduated from Oregon State University’s School of Pharmacy in 1945 (a class of 6 women and one man, during wartime). In the 1960’s she returned to pharmacy after having two daughters. In those days, she was most often “Hey Nurse!” to customers at Fred Meyer and Pay & Save phar-macies in SE Portland. One story has to be shared. When condoms were only available upon request, she delighted in asking men, “What size?” She meant how many in a box, but took quiet delight in their flummoxed silence before asking further, “A three pack, a box of 12, or a case of 48?”

Betty died on September 18th 2021 of complications from senile dementia. She is survived by her daughter Linda Beutler in Portland, and daughter Nancy Kline and granddaughter Leah Kline in Suhuarita, AZ.

Please consider making a donation to the Rogerson Clematis Garden outside Lake Oswego Oregon in Betty’s name. www.roger-sonclematiscollection.org/donate

A private memorial luau will be hosted by their daughter Linda at the home they loved in front of Twin Rocks.

Irma Jane ‘Janie’ SpencerJuly 9, 1938 – Sept. 7, 2021

Irma Jane “Janie” Spencer passed away

peacefully on Sept. 7, 2021 at the Marquis Springfield, Oregon long-term care facil-ity. She was 83. Jane was born in Pendleton, Oregon on July 9, 1938 to Joe and Irma Denison. She lived in Pend-leton through high school after which time she attended Oregon State University. After one year she transferred to Eastern Oregon College where she earned her degree in Education. She married Dean Iverson and the couple moved to the Pullman, Wash-ington for more education. The marriage was short lived, and Jane relocated to Camas, Washington where she taught kindergarten for one year after which time she received an appointment to fly to Guam as an art consultant in the American Schools.

Upon her return from Guam, Jane became a teacher at Central Junior High School in Milton-Freewater, Oregon.

During her tenure there, she met and married fellow teacher Merle Spencer.

After Merle retired from teaching, they moved to Wheeler, Oregon where Jane became the Tillamook County branch librarian at a new library in Manzanita. She held that position for

ten years. Jane attended and was involved in getting new church built at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church in Manza-nita. Everybody liked Jane, there was laughter wherever she went.

After twenty-four years in Wheeler, Jane and Merle moved to Eugene to be close to medical facilities. They at-tended St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Jane was active in many things, and loved her hobbies including painting, making handmade dolls, and sewing. She liked classical music.

Jane and Merle spent forty-seven happy years together. They traveled often. Merle often said, “She’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Jane is survived by her husband, Merle, of Eugene, Oregon, three step-children, Coniee Hazen of Hender-son, Nevava, Larry Spencer of Chico, California, Alvin Spencer of the US Virgin Islands, and two step-grand-children. A service will be held for friends and fam-ily at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 1465 Coburg Rd., Eugene, Oregon at 11 a.m. on Thursday Sept. 30.

Whitney Elliott Neal JonskeMay 2, 1984 - Sept. 15, 2021

Whitney Elliott Neal Jonske, of Portland,

Oregon, passed away on Sep-tember 15, 2021 surrounded by family at the age of 37. Her kindness, generosity and laughter were contagious. She made this world a better place for everyone who met her and she will be greatly missed.

Whitney was born Whitney Elliott Neal, on May 2, 1984, in Portland, Oregon to Marilyn Saito and David Neal of Til-lamook, Oregon. She moved to Portland in 1994 with her family, where she attended middle and high school at the Catlin Gabel School. It was there that she would meet her future husband, Dirk Jonske, at the age of 12. Whitney and Dirk remained in close contact over the years, started dating in their 20’s, and were married on July 14, 2018, at Mt. Hood Organic Farms. She loved and adored Dirk and was looking forward to spending forever with her soul mate. After graduating high school in 2002, Whitney attended the University of North Carolina Greensboro, where she was a member of the UNCG chapter of the Alpha Chi Omega soror-ity, and made many lifelong friends. She had a long and successful career in finance and digital product manage-ment, first with Citibank and then with Prudential Financial. She considered many of her

coworkers at both compa-nies as close to her as family members. In addition to work, she was recently continuing her education with the goal of teaching high school Span-ish. In addition to languages, she was passionate about the performing arts, particularly theater, music and ballet. She was always singing and writ-ing songs, and continued to dance ballet even after moving to New York in her 30’s.

In spite of her many en-deavors and demanding work schedule, Whitney always made time for her family and friends. She made everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world to her, from the fruit vendor on the street corner near her Man-hattan apartment, to friends and family she’d known all her life. She always thought of others first and relished cel-ebrating birthdays. She loved gifting piggy banks to tod-dlers. She extended joy, love, compassion and empathy to everyone she knew. Her family and friends were her life.

Whitney is survived by her husband, Dirk Jonske,; grand-mother, Sumi Saito,; mother, Marilyn Saito,; father, David Neal,; sister, Lauren Neal-Mannenbach,; brother-in-law, Cavan Mannenbach,; brother, Garet Neal,; mother-in-law, Nancy Jonske,; father-in-law, Fred Jonske,; brother-in-law, Kurt Jonske,; sister-in-law, Desiree Almodovar,; two nieces, two nephews and many cousins, aunts, and uncles.

A private memorial service will be held for immediate family, followed by a public celebration of life in the spring of 2022. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Whitney Elliott Neal Jonske Memorial Fund at the Catlin Gabel School.

William (Bill) James SchafferFeb. 19, 1947 - Sept. 10, 2021

William (Bill) Schaf-fer was born in Des

Moines, Iowa on February 19, 1947 to James Clifford Schaffer and Maida Bice. Two years later his sister was born into the family. The family moved to Southern California where Bill married and had two children, Christy and Sandy. Bill was preceded in death by both his sister and his parents.

Bill then moved to South-ern Oregon and managed a Chevron Service station for several years, and on to Woodburn, Oregon where he owned his own Texaco ser-vice station, and did mechan-ic work for thirteen years.

While living in Woodburn, Bill and Sharon DeHart met each other through mutual friends, Chuck and Naomi Adams, and started dating. They married on September 3, 1988. Bill and Sharon lived in Newberg, where he worked for a Japanese light-ing company as a machinist for twelve years before retir-ing in 2009. He and Sharon had great fun snow birding for the next five years—be-tween Newberg, Oregon, and Yuma and Parker, Arizona. They were state park hosts for several years at River Island State Park, in Parker. They also hosted in Oregon State Parks; with Wallowa in Eastern Oregon being their favorite.

Bill was a somewhat quiet man, but full of easy laughter and fun. People loved to be

around him. He taught line dancing for several years at the Senior Center and Elk’s Club in McMinnville, Oregon. Bill liked being ac-tive—taking dancing lessons, clamming with Sharon, and crabbing with church friends. He also enjoyed zipping around their property on his riding mower, working on projects around the house, and walking 5-7 miles three times a week. He enjoyed a little friendly competition playing games of all sorts with friends. He will be greatly missed.

Bill grew up as a Christian and attended the Methodist Church with his parents. After he and Sharon were mar-ried, they became a part of the Zion Lutheran Church in Newberg where he served as Financial Secretary for many years. When they moved to the coast in 2016, they made many dear friends at the Tillamook Nazarene Church, where they loved on people at Celebrate Recovery, and helped serve meals at Open Table. During these years Bill grew closer to the Lord than ever before.

As he went to the ambu-lance, Bill told his wife he was ready to go if it was his time. God took him home on the afternoon of September 10, 2021. He was able to wish his beloved wife of 33 years a Happy Anniversary in a call from the hospital seven days before he went to be with Jesus.

Bill is survived by his wife, Sharon. Step son Trevor DeHart, his wife Larissa, and their children: Tatiana, and her husband Colby Amaral, Tessa DeHart, Tavin DeHart, and Tennyson DeHart. Step son Troy DeHart, and his children: Fallon, and her son Lincoln Shaffer, Talia and her husband Dave Quillen, and daughter Tristyn DeHart. And grandson Chase Young.Foundation Awarded Grant

to Support CTE StudentsThis fall, the Tillamook Bay

Community College Founda-tion was awarded a $15,000 grant from The Roundhouse

Foundation to support students enrolled in a Career-Technical Education Program. The grant helps cover costs associated with supplies and program fees.

“The intent is to lessen the barrier for these students to participate in these pro-grams,” said Britta Lawrence, Development Director for the TBCC Foundation. “This is the inaugural year this grant has been funded, and TBCC feels very lucky to have been selected as a recipient.”

The TBCC Foundation

has already awarded close to $3,000 of the grant this fall to assist TBCC Students. Lawrence said students do not need to apply for the funding; it is automatically credited to their account when they enroll in a qualified CTE program.

The grant helps students who may need things like boots or gloves for welding; scrubs and stethoscopes for the healthcare programs; and fingerprinting, and licens-ing requirements for EMTs, among other things that a student would typically pay for out of pocket.

Tillamook Bay Community College has CTE degrees and certificates in the fields of healthcare, manufacturing and industrial technology, agri-cultural technology, criminal justice, and business adminis-tration. For more information on TBCC’s Career-Technical Education programs, visit www.tillamookbaycc.edu.

The Roundhouse Founda-tion supports creative solu-tions to the unique challenges associated with rural culture and landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.

The Bright Line for Me - Protecting Oregon’s schoolchildrenDavid Gomberg

State Rep.

Getting our kids and grandkids safely

back into school has got to be priority one.

As parents, students, and educators anxiously return to in-person learning this week, it’s important to keep in mind where we were this time last year. While the ramifications of COVID-19 devastated communities, shuttered businesses, and left so many of us uncertain about the future, our kids were forced into a remote learning environment built on compromises for the sake of public health.

This March, Governor Brown announced a return

to in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year. Let’s keep it that way.

The decision to shift to remote learning last year was a choice no one wanted to make. Clearly, the best place for our kids’ social and educational develop-ment is in the classroom. Nonetheless, circumstances led us to a school year in which everyone struggled -- our educators, our parents, and certainly our children.

Educators scrambled to figure out ways they could adapt their curricula to suit the unique landscape of online learning. Working parents, already contend-ing with the challenges of the pandemic and a lack of childcare opportuni-

ties were abruptly forced into the position of home-educator. Businesses that could open found they had fewer employees to open with. And children were separated from their schools and deprived of the social experiences and much of the professional support they needed. Needless to say, this was not an ideal situation.

With the new school year looming, I fear that if we don’t take action now, we risk compromising another year of our kids’ education.

Unfortunately, the situ-ation with the Delta variant has been rapidly evolving. Communities are struggling, our hospitals are at capacity, and very sadly, we are see-ing too many fatalities. Our

children are at lower risk, but are still unvaccinated and vulnerable.

At present, every corner of our state is contending with ICUs reaching capac-ity. This means that not only will COVID-19 patients have a hard time getting the emergency treatment they need, but so too will the rest of the population that may require a stay at the ICU for any number of reasons, like a heart attack, stroke, or even an auto or workplace accident. This month, the Oregon National Guard was deployed to hospitals around the state to assist our medical workers dealing with the recent surge.

I get mail expressing frustration that students will

be required to wear masks while in indoor classrooms. Masks, while inconvenient, offer an effective layer of protection against the spread of COVID-19 and its highly contagious delta variant. One of our Superintendents told me it is a small price to pay for getting schools open again.

Keeping our kids healthy should certainly be our first concern, but we can’t forget how important in-person learning truly is. Until we have a vaccine for children under 12, it’s more impor-tant than ever that commu-nity leaders, educators, and parents step up to keep our kids safe, and to also keep them in the classroom.

It’s imperative that we

encourage and maintain social distancing and to pro-mote proper hygiene among our students. It’s imperative that we encourage proper mask usage and promote a robust and engaging learn-ing environment. But most importantly, it’s imperative that we do everything we can to prevent needless community spread of CO-VID-19 so we can keep our schools open and accessible to the students and parents that rely on them.

Our kids and grandkids deserve our support, our sacrifice, and our kindness. So let’s get vaccinated, mask up, and keep this school year safe, productive, and open.

Wheeler leaders add volunteers to workers compensation policy


Wheeler City Council agreed in a meeting Tuesday, Sept. 21, to add the city’s volunteers to the workers compensation policy.

In the past, the city’s insur-ance carrier has provided the city’s worker compensation insurance. They discontinued this line of insurance earlier this year and are now acting as broker for SAIF and pro-viding the same coverage.

During the meeting, Coun-cil President Jim King said the only volunteers currently covered by the workers com-pensation policy are the coun-cil and mayor. The proposal is to cover all volunteers in Wheeler equally.

“Emergency volunteers especially are the ones that deserve special treatment and deserve that coverage,” King said.

Cost for emergency response volunteers would be $2.62 per $100 of payroll. Since they are volunteers, they are unpaid, so the payroll is based on Oregon’s minimum wage of $12.

“The number of hours based on $5,000 of coverage is 416 hours,” King said.

Based on these hours, the annual cost would be $9.50 for volunteers and elected officials and $131 for emer-gency response members.

All volunteers are covered by the city’s liability insur-ance if they are signed up and approved as volunteers. If while performing volunteer duties, the volunteer injures someone else or damages their property, the insurance would defend the city, and pay a claim, if there is negli-

gence on the volunteer’s part. King said the liability

protects the city but not the volunteer if they are injured. Once the city agrees for cov-erage, the insurance will give $5,000 assumed coverage.

King said Manzanita cov-ers their emergency volun-teers and Nehalem recently agreed to cover theirs. King proposed to include all volunteers as long as they are signed up and approved by the city.

“I think we need a little bit more information about the true costs of providing this for all our volunteers, what the ramifications are,” Coun-cilor Mike Glowa said. “I just think it’s premature to do this tonight, to approve it.”

King said the councilors have the information about the cost. Each volunteer has to report when the start and stop, which is the responsibil-ity of the lead of the volunteer team.

“Each volunteer reports the time to the team leader,” King said. “In the case of the emer-gency response volunteers, it doesn’t matter what they’re doing, whether a meeting or responding to an emergency, workers compensation com-panies charge the same.”

The city has all the docu-ments showing all the hours, King added. The insurance company performs a yearly audit on the workers compen-sation, King.

“One time a year, we do paperwork,” King said.

The council approved to add all volunteers to the workers compensation policy.


Recently, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum learned about several fake job postings targeting individuals interested in applying for jobs at the Oregon Department of Justice.

The fake job listings are created by scraping legitimate websites, such as LinkedIn, and then substituting false information and embedding links which lead to website(s) that are used to harvest person-ally identifiable information.

By posing as a legitimate recruitment site, the scam-mers then collect personally identifiable information from unsuspecting individuals which is then sold.

Please be extra cautious if you receive unsolicited job announcements. To protect yourself from fake job scams, review these tips:

1. Conduct a web search of the hiring company using the company name only. Results that return multiple websites for the same company (abc-company.com and abccom-panyllc.com) may indicate fraudulent job listings.

2. Legitimate compa-nies will ask for personally identifiable information and bank account information for payroll purposes after hiring employees. This information is safer to give in-person. If in-person contact is not possible, a video call with the potential employer can confirm identity, especially if the company has

a directory against which to compare employee photos.

3. Never send money to someone you meet online, especially by wire transfer.

4. Never provide credit card information to an employer.

5. Never provide bank ac-count information to employ-ers without verifying their identity.

6. Do not accept any job offers that ask you to use your own bank account to transfer their money. A legitimate company will not ask you to do this.

7. Never share your Social Security number or other per-sonal identifiable information that can be used to access your accounts with someone who does not need to know this information.

8. Before entering per-sonal identifiable information online, make sure the website is secure by looking at the ad-dress bar. The address should begin with [https://]https://, not [http://]http://.

For information on how to avoid phishing scams, review the tips in this handy one pag-er, https://www.doj.state.or.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/DOJ-Do_Not_Click-Flyer.pdf

And, if you have been a victim of a fake job listing, please file a complaint online at www.oregonconsumer.gov or call the Oregon Attorney General’s Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9393.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY WELLNESSWhat is OUR Tillamook?

Mareliza de JesusAssociate Project SpecialistAdventist Health Tillamook

Drug overdose took more than 90,000

lives in the United States last year. For perspective, this photo shows a stadium in Alabama that holds roughly 90,000 people. That is more than three times the popula-tion of Tillamook County! Every day, our community is touched by overdose and substance use disorder (SUD). It is estimated that 1,700 people in Tillamook County live with opioid use disorder (OUD). That person can be our neighbor, our coworker, or our family. They deserve the support of our community to reach their goals and live a fulfilling life. If someone you know is struggling with an opioid addiction, take the first step in finding community resources by visiting OURTil-lamook.org.

OUR Tillamook, which stands for Opioid Use Re-sponse in Tillamook County, is a group of local organi-zations. They are working together to provide OUD support, resources and pro-grams to anyone in Tillamook

County. This group includes experts in healthcare, behav-ioral health, law enforcement, homeless services, addiction recovery, advocacy, education and government. Each mem-ber brings an area of specialty to the team.

In the last year, OUR Tillamook collaborated in providing new programs and supporting programs already established.

• Prime Plus peer support connects people starting their OUD/SUD recovery journey with helpful resources and support. To connect with a peer or learn more about the program call Michele Riggs with Tillamook Family Counseling Center at 503-815-5406.

• OURTillamook.org provides addiction, treatment and recovery information related to SUD/OUD. It offers easy to understand content through articles, videos, train-ing guides and local resource lists. This site is designed to be a SUD/OUD hub for any-one touched by addiction.

• Free naloxone and training were given to law enforcement, educators and community members in Til-lamook County. Naloxone re-

verses overdoses and can save lives. Nasal naloxone kits are available to the public, but supply will vary with grants available. If you are interested in getting a nasal naloxone kit contact Mareliza de Jesus at Adventist Health Tillamook at 503-815-2401.

• A new syringe exchange program has started. Pick-up wound care supplies, safe injection kits, Sharps con-tainers, and safely deposit used syringes and exchange for new every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 11am-1pm in CARE’s lower parking lot, organized by Til-lamook County Community Health Centers.

• A community behavioral health and OUD resource guide was created. It lists or-ganizations, groups and other OUD resources available in Tillamook County and the surrounding areas.

• Medication for Opioid Use Disorder is available at the Rinehart Clinic, Til-lamook County Commu-nity Health Centers, and now Adventist Health Tillamook. This service can help folks with OUD start their recovery journey. Speak to your pro-vider to see if this is a good

option for you.• Need someone to help

you navigate and guide you to SUD resources in the area? Jeannine Deaville, a substance use navigator, can connect you with resources that are most relevant to your situation. Call her at 503-815-2286 or email her at [email protected].

September was National Recovery Month. It is a chance to educate Americans that treatment and mental health services can help those with a mental and/or substance use disorder live a healthy and rewarding life. You can still get involved in National Recovery Month:

• Like and follow OUR Tillamook’s Facebook page to get news on upcoming events and program development.

• Visit OUR Tillamook.org to learn what resources are available in Tillamook County and how you can sup-port a loved one living with OUD.

• Practice proper drug disposal. Do your part to prevent drug overdose. Drug disposal is currently avail-able at Rinehart Clinic and Pharmacy, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Tillamook

Pharmacy, and Tillamook Police Department. There are also take-home kits available at Tillamook County libraries.

This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Huma Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $1 million with 100 percent funded by HRSA/

COMMUNITYRockaway Beach’s Art and Kite Festival held Oct. 1-3

Tillamook PUD Board of Director position open

GARDENING MATTERS

The 44th annual Kite and Art Festival has a newly added kite flying. Enjoy homemade arts and crafts, foods, and kite flying. The event will be held at the Ocean’s Edge access at South 1st St. in Rockaway. The annual Kite Festival will be held Friday, Oct. 22, through Sunday, Oct. 24.

succulent of the month: Stonecrop Sedums

When most gardeners think of sedums they think of the late summer bloomers called Stonecrop ‘Autumn Joy.’ Even if you don’t have this sedum in your garden, you will recognize it in other local gardens as it is a staple in the coastal garden.

The Stonecrop portion of the name denotes a type of sedum that does well in rocky soils you will find in a rock garden, thus the “stone.” Sedums are a genus from the Crassulacea family, which also includes the ubiquitous Jade Plant. Many of the sedums are low-growing ground covers and have fleshy leaves of the typical succulent. While these are tough, easy-to-grow plants, they won’t take foot traffic like some other groundcov-ers and are best used in borders or pots. They will fill in nicely in an area that has well-drained soil with full sun. But mine have partial sun at best and they do well, too.

The ‘Autumn Joy’ Stone-crops (Sedum spectabile)

are a little taller than other sedums, and can be very dramatic in the September and early October flower beds. They have a rounded, blue-green fleshy leaf that is about 3 inches wide. The ‘Autumn Joy’ flowers in shades of pink that turn to a coppery red and finally to a rust as the weather gets cooler. The dried flower heads will last through the winter giving some interest in a time when there is little else to enjoy.

In colder climates, these will die back to the ground. But with our mild climate on the Oregon Coast, the S. spectabile will stay all year, and can even get quite tall, stretching to 18 inches or more. This is especially true if they do not have full sun. Easy fix to this one: I pinch the tops of the plants off periodically from about May to mid-July. Then they can grow as tall as they like. This also delays the bloom-ing period a few weeks. And as an added bonus, the tops you pinch off can be rooted in succulent soil for a couple of months and planted back out into the garden for a larger display.

Most other shorter, groundcover sedums will last the winter without further tending. They can also be kept in check by dividing them in the early spring and transplanting to other spots or sharing. There are a few that won’t do well in our

Zone 9, but these should be planted into pots rather than into flower beds so you can bring them inside or at least put them under shelter for the winter.

As with most succulents, the sedum genus will do best with limited water, mak-ing them great for our drier summers. But those being planted outside will need that well-drained soil like the rest of the succulents.

You won’t be disappointed with a few Stonecrop sedum placed in strategic spots in the garden. Yet another succulent to add to your repertoire.

Before I close out this week - and this month - Sep-tember is the prime time to order those spring bulbs for 2022. Tulips, daffodils and

crocus all need a period of being refrigerated if they are to do well on our mild coast. Since most of them come from mountainous areas of the world, we need to trick them into thinking it is win-ter. So, order as soon as you find the ones you like and ask for prompt delivery so you can put them in the frig for at least six weeks. This means you will be planting them out in November. I know that is a horrid thought with the winter rains coming, but I am sure you can find a window of opportunity to get those bulbs in the ground. They will reward you with a showy spring display. Just make sure the soil they are planted in is (again) well-draining so the bulbs don’t rot.

On Thursday, Sept. 9, the Legis-lative Coastal Caucus urged Gov-ernor Brown to formally request federal disaster relief for Oregon’s commercial salmon industry for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons.

“Oregon’s commercial salmon industry is a cornerstone of our coastal economy. Especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever that the men and women operating our salmon troll vessels and fisheries are given the support they need to contend with the diminished land-ings of the past three years.”

The 2020 fleet-wide salmon landings of approximately $1.5 million in value represents a historic low only surpassed by the results of the season closure in 2009, which saw landing values totaling roughly $345,000. 2018 and 2019, while marginally better years for salmon landings com-

pared to 2020, also saw results far below the 2016 season, which was declared a disaster at a fleet-wide $4.3 million. Salmon landings in both 2018 and 2019 sit at $2.4 million and $2.1 million respec-tively.

In response to the 2016 and 2017 commercial salmon season, the U.S. Department of Commerce allocated $20 million to eleven west coast fisheries in 2018. The 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons have seen little improvement, with combined salmon landings for the past three years barely exceeding the combined landings of the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

The Coastal Caucus worked together with the Oregon Salmon Commission in presenting the request.

“This is about more than just the preservation of one of Or-egon’s most iconic industries. This

about the hardworking men and women of our commercial salmon industry who have been harmed by circumstances beyond their control. Our commercial salmon industry needs the reassurance that the State of Oregon and the federal government are willing to lend their support during difficult times.”

The Oregon Legislative Coastal Caucus includes bipartisan rep-resentatives and senators from coastal districts from Astoria to Brookings. It is chaired by Representative David Gomberg (D-Otis), Vice-Chair Senator Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City), and includes Senators Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) and Dallas Heard (R-Roseburg) and Representatives Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook), Boomer Wright (R-Coos Bay), and David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford).

Tourism grant funding available from Tillamook Coast Visitors Association

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) announced Wednesday, Sept. 22, that $100,000 in marketing grant funds is available to tourism-related businesses and organizations in Tillamook County. This is an annual grant round, which started in 2015, soon after the tourism organization was established by the county.

To date, TCVA has awarded $727,000 in grants to dozens of business and nonprofits for a wide range of marketing projects. This new cycle will bring the total to $827,000.

Applications open Friday, Sept. 24; download the Applica-tion Packet at https://tillamookcoast.com/grants then. Also on that page is an on-demand grant and budget writing webinar to guide you through the process. Deadline for submission is Dec. 1. The TCVA board of directors will score and rank applications according to set criteria.

In fall 2020, TCVA partnered with the Tillamook Coast Creamery Association, which matched the annual amount by 100%, bringing the total funding to $200,000. The Market-ing Resiliency Grant helped 90 businesses recover and thrive from COVID-related setbacks.

“This year, we’re encouraging businesses and nonprofits that have never applied before, or those who have but are undertaking new projects,” said Amy Blackburn, deputy di-rector of finance and administration for TCVA. “The projects must be tourism-related, as the funding is subject to Oregon state law about the use of transient lodging taxes.”

This year, TCVA is asking that applicants consider how they can sustain marketing efforts, and how projects support sustainable tourism, defined as a positive impact on the com-munity and creates economic vitality. Projects that focus on outdoor recreation should also state how the project supports stewardship of natural resources.

The grant application includes a sample list of activities that qualify, but projects are by no means limited to those suggestions. In the past, grants have supported social media programs, website development, events, brochures, videos, sponsored content, tradeshow participation, exhibits, bill-boards, and collaborative efforts with other businesses.

“TCVA is always available to help applicants with their marketing ideas, planning and budgeting,” said Blackburn. “If the application is submitted at least 14 days in advance of the deadline, we can review it and make suggestions if requested.”

The grant application can be downloaded at https://tilla-mookcoast.com/grants

Oregon’s forest-dependent businesses and industries suffered an estimated $5.9 billion in economic losses as a result of the Labor Day wildfires that one year ago burned more than a million acres across the western part of the state, a newly released study commissioned by the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) concludes.

Conducted by experts from the natural resource consult-ing firm Mason, Bruce & Girard, in partnership with the forestry economic analysis and forecasting firm Forest Economic Advisors, the 104-page study looked at the eco-nomic impacts of last year’s Labor Day fires on Oregon’s forest sector, which ranged from lost timber and logging equipment to forest restoration efforts made more difficult by a shortage of tree seedlings.

The “Labor Day 2020 Fires: Economic Impacts to Oregon’s Forest Sector” study report can be downloaded at https://bit.ly/3tpLfd3

The report looks at the various ways forest landowners and businesses, such as logging companies and sawmills, were affected by last year’s fires, finding that the Labor Day wildfires had substantial impacts on the sector, and will continue to impact Oregon’s timber supply, forest-related employment and other economic factors well into the future.

The analysis focuses on the fires’ impact in terms of acreage burned and timber lost across public and private forestland, the economic value of timber lost in the fires, the potential to salvage timber burned in the fires, and the long-term impact on future timber supply to the state’s wood products manufacturing sector. The study also investigated the scale and costs of needed post-fire forest restoration, including infrastructure repair, erosion control, stream protection and reforestation.

About the Oregon Forest Resources Institute:The Oregon Legislature created the Oregon Forest Re-

sources Institute (OFRI) in 1991 to support and enhance Oregon’s forest products industry by advancing public understanding of forests, forest management and forest products, and encouraging sustainable forestry through landowner education. A 13-member board of directors governs OFRI. A portion of the forest products harvest tax funds it.
