The Tillamook County Transportation District was formed in 1997. Its mission was, and is, to provide public transportation throughout the county and it has done an amazing job. It started with no funding, two borrowed buses and limited routes. Since then, over a million passengers have ridden The Wave throughout our county and into neighboring counties. Trips that were once impossible without a vehicle, like doctor visits, shopping, visiting family and friends and going to work or school are now taken every day, seven days a week, by Wave riders. This is a wonderful accomplishment and one that everyone in the county can rely on and be proud of. But, we can, and need to do more.

I have chatted with riders of The Wave and I have learned that the ease of local public transport has yet to be achieved. Riders are limited by routes, infrequent buses, long waits for connections, complicated scheduling that may demand multiple days in advance to schedule, areas not served, and costs.

I see a future for our public transportation system in which every member of our community can travel seamlessly, at a moment’s notice, and at an affordable price. I see daily commuters to work and school who won’t have long wait times and can be home in time for dinner. I see solutions for tourists that may curb traffic congestion during peak season, and much more. However, achieving these goals means getting into the details of demand, connections, frequency of current ridership and making changes based on data.

I’m ready to sit down with riders to assess their wants and needs; then talk with service providers, government programs, grant providers, and others to learn the issues and develop solutions, find the funds, and make the goal of smooth, easy travel a reality for anyone in Tillamook County.

My name is Mary Leverette. I have had an almost 30-year career in government service, both for the State of Oregon and the City of Portland. I supervised both projects and staff. I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology and I am a dedicated volunteer. For the second year, I am organizing the Wheeler Clean-up Day; I write a column on birds for the Lower Nehalem Community Trust; and, most importantly, I was a Hospice Volunteer for 14-plus years. I am organized, positive and practical. I am retired and have the time, energy and experience to serve. I am seeking a position on the County Transportation District because I am committed to serving my community.

The Nehalem City Council has joined city councils in Wheeler and Manzanita in formally endorsing the Nehalem Bay Health District’s May 16 bond measure that will improve and expand local health and senior care services in north Tillamook County.

The Nehalem action came during the council’s regular meeting on April 10. Wheeler’s city council endorsed the bond measure on March 21 and the Manzanita council made its endorsement on April 5.

Nehalem Mayor Phil Chick said the effort to improve health and senior care in the community is “about the future and providing essential health care to the community.”

The Health District is seeking approval of a $10.25 million bond to address three community needs:

• Construction of an expanded, state-of-the-art Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy with adequate space to provide specialty care such as dental services and cardiology that are not current available in the community. The new facility would be constructed in downtown Wheeler on Highway 101 at Hospital Road.

• Renovation and modernization of the Nehalem Valley Care Center in Wheeler, the region’s only skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. The Health District believes the Care Center, particularly given the closure of assisted living facilities in Tillamook County last year, will become even more important to the community in the future. A major renovation will help create a safer more inviting environment for patients and staff.

• And site preparation for workforce housing particularly geared to health care and other essential workers. Between the Care Center and Health Center nearly 80 people are employed in health care jobs in north Tillamook County.

“It is extremely gratifying to receive the endorsement and support of all the communities in the Health District,” said Health District board president Marc C. Johnson. “I believe the city councilors and mayors of Wheeler, Manzanita and Nehalem understand, as the Health District surely does, that maintaining and improving health and senior care is an essential part of continuing to have vital, thriving communities.”

More information on the bond measure is available at: www.nehalemhealthcare.com
