have been several calls about
damage, including one from a
woman who says all the win-
dows in her house were blown
out.
The Tillamook County
Pioneer said trees and
power lines were down
and there was damage to
several buildings. The Tilla-
mook Headlight-Herald posted
photos and video of buildings
with roof damage. The news-
paper said Mayor Garry Bul-
lard had declared a state of
emergency.
Debbie Harmon, owner of
the Amanita Galley in Man-
zanita, said most of the dam-
age is near the beach and
downtown.
“It was a normal beach
storm, which we get a lot of,
and then out of nowhere the
wind went ‘whoooo,’” she
said. “Suddenly the whole
sky was illed with debris. It
was just crazy. And then it just
stopped.”
Dan Haag, a Coast Weekend
correspondent, experienced the
tornado warning himself at his
home between Manzanita and
Nehalem in north Tillamook
County. He said he received a
weather alert from Tillamook
Emergency Management on
his phone at about the same
time the power went out around
8:15 a.m.
“It said a tornado warning
until 8:45 a.m., so we bugged

Field: ‘Exciting and honorable idea’
Continued from Page 1A
However, after Dickover
made his pitch, board mem-
bers seemed reluctant to
name the playing ield after
Goodding, saying that nam-
ing structures after people, no
matter how courageous they
were, might start an unsus-
tainable precedent. The board
said it might later consider a
memorial wall or plaque to
list the names of Sherwood
residents who died as heroes.
But some community
members worked to keep the
issue alive, which led to mem-
bers of the Bowmen Fam-
ily Foundation meeting with
school board liaison Patrick
Allen in early October to dis-
cuss naming the athletic ield
after Goodding. The founda-
tion is made up of past and
current Sherwood teachers
and administrators, alumni
and residents who either grew
up in Sherwood or are raising
their children here, according
to Dickover.
At the October school
board meeting, with Good-
ding’s parents sitting in the
front row, Dickover made
another pitch for renaming the
athletic ield.
He described the initial
fundraising project — a golf
tournament that raised nearly
$75,000 to help Goodding’s
family.
“With (that) tremendous
success, we have taken this
further to fund the solid brass
plaques which have been dis-
played at some of the foot-
ball games this season,” Dick-
over said. “We have been able
to provide inances to Jason’s
family. We will be inancing
two $1,000 scholarships, and
the irst recipients will be in
the graduating class of 2017.
Plan to honor
Dickover said that through
working with board liaison
Allen, foundation members
came up with a concrete plan
to honor Goodding.
Dickover added the group
had discussed choosing the
name Memorial Stadium and
Field based on the poten-
tial passing of a $247.5 mil-
lion school bond measure that
includes building a new high
school and stadium.
“We would be in favor of
this (at the new high school),”
he said. “Also discussed was
a location that would have
a inite number of places to
honor deserving people, in
effect a memorial wall or
something similar where our
fallen heroes would be hon-
ored. We would hope that
Jason and Aaron would be
part of that display.
Board Director Connie
Hansen said to the Gooddings
in the audience, “In no way
were our objections meant to
dishonor your son. We just
wanted to ind a way to honor
folks in the future, too. Folks
in this community have again
demonstrated that they can
work together.”
Board Director Sue Hek-
ker added, “Thanks to Mr.
Dickover and all of you for
hanging in there.”
WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Trump says he doesn’t know,
never met some of his accusers
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump contends
he doesn’t know and never even met some of the women
accusing him of sexual assault. Rejecting his claims of being
the victim of false stories, Hillary Clinton and ally Michelle
Obama say Americans are learning more about Trump’s unac-
ceptable behavior every day.
“We can’t expose our children to this any longer, not for
another minute, let alone for four years,” Mrs. Obama told
Clinton supporters at a rally in New Hampshire. In a passion-
ate address, the irst lady said that after years of working to
end “this kind of violence and abuse and disrespect ... we’re
hearing these exact same things on the campaign trail. We are
drowning in it.”
The presidential campaign focused Thursday on the alle-
gations against Trump, who denied them again and again as
supporters cheered him at a rally in Florida and two appear-
ances in Ohio, states central to his effort to defeat Clinton.
Four women have told publications detailed stories about
encounters with Trump that ended with groping, kissing and
other unwanted sexual advances.
“These vicious claims about me, of inappropriate conduct
with women, are totally and absolutely false. And the Clin-
tons know it,” Trump said. He offered no evidence discred-
iting the reports except to ask why his accusers had waited
years and then made their allegations less than a month before
the election.
His defense appeared undermined by a video that sur-
faced last week in which he bragged about kissing and grop-
ing women without their permission. Similar behavior was
detailed by women who accused Trump in articles pub-
lished late Wednesday by The New York Times and the Palm
Beach Post. Separately, a People magazine reporter offered a
irst-person account accusing Trump of attacking her in 2005
while she was in Florida to interview him and his pregnant
wife.
Tuna cannery in American
Samoa to halt production
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa — One of the two tuna
canning companies operating in American Samoa announced
Thursday it plans to suspend production in December.
In a statement, Bellevue, Washington-based Tri Marine
says it will end production indeinitely at its Samoa Tuna Pro-
cessors cannery plant.
The company’s 800 employees were informed of the plan
Thursday. The company didn’t specify how many will be
affected.
American Samoa does not have labor unions and most
employees are paid minimum wage. The company said eco-
nomic dificulties spurred the decision.
“The challenging economics of canning tuna in Amer-
ican Samoa combined with external factors facing STP
make Tri Marine s private-label focused business model for
operating the plant economically unsustainable,” the com-
pany said in a statement. The company is considering alter-
natives for the plant, including an outright sale. The com-
pany pumped $70 million into the plant before it opened in
January 2015.
SunKist also operates a tuna cannery in American Samoa,
but the plant has been temporarily out of operation for the past
week because of a lack of ish.
