Chamber Leadership Letter From Executive Director The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce has a diverse program of work. The economic health, vitality, livability and sustainability of our community are the foundation of our values. We provide a number of services that are a direct benefit to members and to the community as a whole, including programs such as Beautification, Young-Professionals, Ambassadors, Visitor Services, Tourism Promotion, and Hospitality. Our weekly luncheon programs provide a venue for members to network with one another while receiving information valuable to their business.

Our collaborative partnerships help shape and create a sustainable community and leverage our members' investment, bringing added value to every membership.

Our community is full of caring, creative and hard-working citizens who dedicate much time and energy volunteering with the Chamber and scores of other local non-profit organizations. We embrace and encourage these efforts and have a deep appreciation for all who serve on committees and at events-whether they are Chamber related or not.

I am grateful to be part of an organization which is such a positive force in our community, and am humbled to work with those who give their efforts to make Newport a wonderful place to live, work and play.

About the Chamber The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce is one of the most progressive and dynamic organizations on the Oregon Coast. Boasting over 600 member businesses and individuals, the Chamber consistently has between over a dozen active volunteer committees working to enhance the community and our business climate. Its mission is “to unite the efforts of the citizens in promoting civic, commercial, agricultural, tourist, marine and industrial welfare of the City of Newport and its surrounding economic area.” In short, we strive to create an environment in which our members can succeed. By so doing, we also build a stronger and healthier community.

During an average month the Greater Newport Chamber answers thousands of phone calls, greets about the same number of visitors in our office, mails out thousands of visitor and relocation packets, responds to hundreds more via fax and e-mail, logs close to 1.5 million visits to our website, and passes along countless referrals to Chamber member businesses. All of these contacts add up to increased profits for each of our members.

Although the times are constantly changing and technological advances are continually altering the way we conduct business, the essentials of doing business will forever be the same. Face-to-face contact with your business associates and customers, developing relationships, networking with peers, and supporting those with whom you conduct commerce is precisely what doing business is all about. That’s why we sponsor a range of events, from weekly to annually, that foster face-toface networking and socializing, the cornerstones of collaboration and business development.

Chamber Luncheons and Ambassador Showcases occur on a weekly basis, providing venues for associating with fellow members. Members are encouraged to participate in a variety of committees, including young professionals, Seafood & Wine Festival, Ambassadors, Hospitality, Beautification and many more. Committee meetings occur monthly and are excellent ways to get involved with the community. A Business After Hours reception is held every month with the primary goal of fostering networking and socializing. Annual events that occur throughout the year include the annual Awards Banquet, Know Your Newport, the Banquet and Balloon Auction, Scary-Okie, and of course, the Seafood & Wine Festival. “Doing Business” is what we at the Chamber are proud to promote within our membership and community!

Credits Letter from the Editor I consider myself a lucky woman. I live in Newport. I work in Newport. My son goes to school here, I do business here, and I am surrounded by this extraordinary community every day. When it came time to produce this publication, I hoped to transmit to its readers what those of us who live and work here already know: Newport is a special place, with a magic all its own. Where else can you walk on a spectacular beach bookended by two dramatic lighthouses, hear a symphony concert, learn about the biology of an octopus, and have the best fish & chips of your life, all in a single day? Even on a typical work day, when I am too busy to go to the beach and I eat a peanut butter sandwich sitting at my computer rather than fresh fish at a local restaurant, I feel lucky to live and work here.

I hope this guide to living and doing business in Newport will entice you to consider a visit or a move here. But what’s not in this guide is just as important as what is: the warmth, creativity, energy, and compassion of the people here. You’ll have to experience those things first hand, and when you do, I’m sure you’ll want to be one of the lucky ones, too.

Enjoy!

Newport A Great place to Live and Work Geography and Climate: Newport encompasses 10.59 square miles of historic neighborhoods, scenic vistas, a deep-water port, and magnificent coastline. Of that area, 9.05 square miles is land and the rest is water, including Yaquina Bay. Newport’s share of Oregon’s 363-mile coastline is approximately 10 miles, which spans sandy beaches, rocky headlands and tide pools, and dramatic sandstone cliffs. By state law, all of this incredible coastline is in the public domain and is accessible along its entire length. Yaquina Head, at the northern end of town, is home to a majestic lighthouse, fascinating tide pools, and some of the largest summertime bird colonies in the state. This area, a major tourist draw, is managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management. Sandy and scenic Nye Beach is easily accessible and close to the shopping and restaurants of the Nye Beach neighborhood. South Beach State Park provides opportunities for surfing and long beach walks. For more details about Newport’s beaches, see page 36.

Yaquina Bay, the estuary formed where the Yaquina River meets the Pacific Ocean, is a productive ecosystem, a scenic treasure, and a critical port for fishing, tourism, and shipping. It provides a sheltered deepwater port for an active and successful commercial and recreational fishing fleet, commercial ships docking at the Port of Newport (which is working on establishing a new log exporting operation from its recently rebuilt International Terminal), NOAA and Oregon State University research vessels, and hundreds of private pleasure craft.

Newport is accessed from the north and south by U. S. Route 101, and from the east by U. S. Route 20. Communities to the north of Newport include Depoe Bay and Lincoln City; to the south are Seal Rock, Waldport, and Yachats. Toledo, OR, is 7 miles to the east of Newport on Hwy 101. Newport is 50 miles from Corvallis, 135 miles from Portland, 84 miles from Salem, and 98 miles from Eugene.

You can’t discuss Newport’s climate without discussing rainfall. Average annual precipitation is 67.77 inches, the majority of which falls in the winter months. Because of the climate-moderating influence of the ocean, it never gets tremendously hot or cold: Summer temperatures are typically in the 60s, with rare and welcome warmer days up to about 80 degrees. In the winter it rarely freezes, and temperatures tend to bottom out in the 40s. Snow is also rare.

Summer winds often pick up mid-day, and the beach can get breezy or foggy around that time. However, there are microclimates throughout Newport where summer temperatures are generally warmer and the blanket of fog does not penetrate. Just a few blocks inland the weather can be much different than the beach. When summer winds blow from the north, it is often warm and still on Agate Beach directly to the south of Yaquina Head.

Breaks in the winter weather are frequent, and, mysteriously, we usually end up with a few gorgeous, summery days in February. Locals know that Vivian Greene got it right when she said, “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain. ” We dance, and walk, and run, and hike, and play sports in the rain here and because the temperatures are mild, we don’t mind at all.

Newport A Great place to Live and Work Governance: What makes Newport tick The City of Newport operates under a Council-Manager form of government, a common approach to governance for smaller cities like ours. Under this structure, the City Council, elected by the citizens of the city, employs a professional City Manager to serve as the administrative head of the city. The City Manager is like the city’s CEO; he or she is responsible for implementing policies and statutes decided on by the Council.

The Newport City Council includes the Mayor and six councilors, all uncompensated volunteers, elected from the city at large. Mayoral terms are two years while Council terms are four years. At the first Council meeting of the year, the Council elects a Council President from among its membership, who presides over Council meetings (and performs other Mayoral duties) in the absence of the Mayor.

Volunteer committees appointed by the Mayor advise the Council on a number of key topics. Committees include: Planning Commission, Budget Committee, Retirement Board, Airport Committee, Library Board, Parks and Recreation Committee, Senior Advisory Committee, Destination Newport Committee, and the Pedestrian/Bicycle Committee. From time to time, the Mayor may appoint task forces or other groups to work on specific issues.

The City Council meets on the first and third Mondays of each month. Work sessions are usually held at noon, and the regular meeting is held at 6:00 P.M. City Council packets and audio files of Council meetings are posted on the city's website (newportoregon.gov/citygov/comm/cc.asp). Videotapes of City Council meetings are shown on Charter Channel 4 at 6:00 am on Tuesdays and 10:00 am on Thursdays during the second and fourth weeks of the month.

City departments and functions include Administration, Finance, Community Development, Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Airport, Library, and Municipal Court. The City of Newport also owns and operates a number of community facilities, including the Public Library, Recreation Center, Municipal Pool, and the 60+ Activity Center. The city-owned Visual Arts Center and Performing Arts Center are operated by the Oregon Coast Council on the Arts.

Newport is the County Seat of Lincoln County (population: 46,151). Lincoln County is governed by a three-member paid Board of Commissioners, who are elected at-large to four-year terms. Until the November 2013 election, the position of County Commissioner was partisan, but it will now be nonpartisan in accordance with most other counties in Oregon. The Commissioners meet every Wednesday at 9:30 am at the Lincoln County Courthouse (agendas and minutes are all online at www.co.lincoln.or.us/board/). The County government structure includes the County Clerk’s office (responsible for running elections, issuing marriage licenses, and maintaining records), Public Works, District Attorney’s office, Health and Human Services, Parks, and more.

Meet the City Manager Spencer Nebel is brand new to his job as City Manager of Newport, having started in December of 2013, but he brings a wealth of city government experience to his new-found home. For the past 21 years, he has been City Manager in the town of Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, and served in the same capacity for two other Michigan towns for a total of ten years before that.

Nebel has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Northern Michigan University. He is an International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Credentialed Manager, and received the “Excellence in Service Award” from the Michigan Municipal League in 2003 and 2012.

Nebel is excited to make the big move from the Mid-west to Newport, as he has two sisters living in Oregon, and he and his wife have vacationed in our fair state.

His successful leadership in a town not dissimilar to Newport – a port town with a large tourist economy – bodes well for his tenure here. Newport is excited to welcome him, and for him to get to work!

Meet the Mayor To many it might seem that art and politics have little in common. Sandra Roumagoux, painter and current Mayor of Newport, would disagree. Her artist’s statement on her web site says, in part, “I don’t know how to separate politics from art. Both ask something of us, something that challenges us to a responsibility. Painter or politician, we come as candidates. We want our message to resonate with the body politic, with the voters.

We make promises.”

Roumagoux was born in Yakima, WA, and raised on a farm in the Willamette Valley. After earning her BA and MFA at the University of Arkansas, she returned to Oregon, settling in Newport in 1985. Her work has been exhibited in a wide range of galleries and shows throughout the Pacific Northwest, and her paintings are held in the collections of Microsoft in Redmond, WA, Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, and a range of other institutions, as well as in private collections. Roumagoux has taught painting and other art classes at institutions ranging from Portland Community College to the Massachusetts College of Art, and she held the position of Dean of Instruction at Oregon Coast Community College from 1987 (when the college was founded) until 1991. She also served on the college’s board, an elected position. Roumagoux was elected to a two-year term as Mayor in November of 2012.

Newport: A City Rich in History If all the world’s an oyster, the City of Newport is definitely a pearl. In fact, it was the Yaquina Bay oyster beds that first attracted settlers to Newport in 1862. Great profits were made by exporting the delicacy to San Francisco and elsewhere, and those settlers were the first to experience all the treasures the area had to offer.

Yaquina Bay was opened to white settlement in 1864. Newport’s first tourist destination resort was built in 1866 by a forward-thinking pioneer named Sam Case. It was Sam who named the town “Newport,” after his favorite town in Rhode Island. More resorts soon followed, paving the way for Newport’s incorporation in 1882 and establishing the community as a premier tourist destination along the Oregon coast.

Newport’s subsequent development centered around three distinct areas: The Bayfront, Nye Beach, and the Highway 101 Corridor. The tourism industry has enjoyed a long, successful history in Newport. In the early 1900s, Nye Beach was the number one tourist attraction on the Oregon coast, offering salt-water taffy stores, concessions, agate shops and penny arcades, as well as rooming houses and resorts.

Newport’s seafood industry boomed in 1908 when electricity (and refrigeration) became available. Construction of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse helped make Yaquina Bay a favorite shipping port. The seafood industry still thrives today – Newport’s Bayfront is home to Oregon’s largest commercial fishing fleet.

The timber industry also carved a niche in Newport’s history. The area was the location of the world’s largest spruce mill built by the U.S. government to supply the airplane industry in World War I. In fact, the mill provided all the wood that went into Howard Hughes’ famous Spruce Goose aircraft.

Completed in 1936, the Yaquina Bay Bridge is perhaps the most recognizable landmark in Newport. The bridge helped the city become more cohesive and fostered growth along the Highway 101 corridor.

Today, Newport’s history is still being made.

The city is a well-balanced mix of industries, including tourism, fishing, forestry and marine science. By blending the best of new and old businesses, landmarks and attractions, Newport is preserving the treasures of the Oregon coast – now and for the future. Get to know Newport!

The Newport Seafood and Wine Festival You’re Invited to Newport’s Biggest Party The population of Newport is not quite 10,000, but on the last full weekend in February it can swell to triple that number. What brings people from far and wide to the coast in the throes of winter’s darkest days and sometimes roughest weather? The promise of great food and drink, and the biggest party Newport throws. The annual Newport Seafood and Wine Festival is a four-day signature event with a festival atmosphere where more than 150 vendors, including purveyors of seafood, craftspeople, and some 80 Northwest wineries offer their goods in a gigantic tent in South Beach adjacent to the Rogue brewery. The event is a fund-raiser for the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce.

For most visitors, the heart of the weekend is the opportunity to sample and purchase a wide range of top-notch Northwest wines. Associated with the event is the longest continuous wine competition in the Northwest, judged by a panel of five regional wine experts. As the Northwest has grown as a wine-producing region, so has the competition. Each Seafood & Wine Festival wine vendor may enter up to three wines in the prestigious commercial competition, judging of which happens before the festival so the winners can be announced and sold at the event. An amateur competition is also held.

Paired with the excellent festival wines are unparalleled seafood offerings.

Newport is proud to be able to showcase the bounty of the Pacific that comes through its port every year. You’ll find crab, bay shrimp, oysters, salmon, albacore, and other local delicacies in abundance, as well as other types of food.

Even outside of the festival’s 50,000 ft tent there is plenty of fun to be found that weekend in Newport. The festival atmosphere spreads throughout the community, as many local businesses and organizations plan special events on the same weekend to take advantage of the crowds. Restaurants often have special menus and live music, shops will have wine sales featuring medal winners, and the local running club sponsors a 5K road race. For more information, see www.seafoodandwine.com.

Oregon Coast Jazz Party Newport’s music scene heats up on the first weekend in October As the weather in Newport cools, the Newport Performing Arts Center sizzles as some of the hottest names in jazz come to jam at the Oregon Coast Jazz Party the first weekend in October. This premiere event, which celebrated its tenth birthday in 2013, regularly sells out multiple concerts at the Newport Performing Arts Center, and infuses the whole town with the strains of jazz throughout the weekend.

As the name implies, the event is held in a “jazz party” format, in which a pool of musicians performs in different combinations in sets throughout the weekend. The principal sets are held at the Newport Performing Arts Center, with a late-night “Nightcap,” an after-party of sorts, on Friday and Saturday nights at the nearby Shilo Inn. Performers have included Jeff Hamilton (drums), Terrell Stafford (trumpet), the Clayton Brothers (John (bass), Jeff (sax) and Gerald (piano)), Dave Captein (bass), Ken Peplowski (clarinet and sax), the Mel Brown quintet (featuring legendary drummer Mel Brown), Halie Loren (vocalist), and Holly Hofmann (flute), who also serves as the event’s Music Director. All of these participants are world-class musicians, who have appeared from Portland to New York to the international jazz scene; Grammy awards decorate their shelves, and headliners from the jazz, blues, and pops worlds clamor for them to play gigs.

The Oregon Coast Jazz Party was born ten years ago as Jazz at Newport, the successor to a number of other jazz festivals held in Newport over the years. A number of satellite events are held in addition to the programs at the PAC, including jazz clinics at Newport High School and the Performing Arts Center and, in 2013, an interactive panel discussion moderated by Holly Hofmann.

The festival is a feast for the eyes as well as the ears: each year, a compelling image created by a local or regional artist is chosen to be highlighted in the marketing materials. Artists Connie Williams, Bill Kucha, Nancy Jane Reid (also the official Oregon Coast Jazz Party photographer), and Juergen Eckstein are among those whose works have served as the face of the festival.

The lineup of musicians for a given year is typically announced in early summer for the following fall. For more information about the Oregon Coast Jazz Party, go to www.coastarts.org/event-types/oregon-coast-jazz-party/. www.newportchamber.org -15

Red Light! Green Light! (And Every Other Color of the Rainbow) The Annual Lighted Boat Parade Sets Yaquina Bay Aglow It’s human nature to light a candle, or a bonfire, or a string of LED lights, against the darkness in the depths of winter. Here in Newport, we have literally boatloads of winter lights. On the first Saturday of December every year, Yaquina Bay is transformed into a sparkling sea of lights at dusk, as the annual Lighted Boat Parade gets underway, kicking off the season of illumination and celebration. About 15 boats participate every year, decking out their decks (and rails and masts and every other boat part) with thousands of lights. As dusk falls at 5 pm, the colorful boats make a grand sweep of the lower bay, circling from the Coast Guard station to the Embarcadero resort. Participants include every type of vessel, from kayaks to sailboats to fishing boats to Coast Guard vessels.

Spectators can either find an indoor or outdoor spot on the Bayfront from which to ooh and aah, or can make a reservation on one of many charter boats that will take passengers that evening to get up close to the action. One of the best views is aboard the Marine Discovery Tours boat, which will sell passenger tickets but also be part of the parade. All paying passengers on this and other charter boats will be treated to cocoa and cookies, courtesy of some of the event sponsors.

Proceeds from the event, including all passenger boat ticket sales and boat entry fees, are donated to CAN Cancer, a charity that provides assistance to central coast residents diagnosed with cancer in paying non-medical expenses.

For more information about passenger ticket sales for the parade, contact Marine Discovery Tours at (541) 265-6200 or (800) 903-BOAT or Newport Tradewinds at (541) 265-2101. To enter a vessel in the parade or for other information, contact the Yaquina Bay Yacht Club at (541) 265-9206 or ybyc.email@gmail.com.

Shellfish Pleasure: The Oyster Cloyster provides gourmet treats and supports good causes Forget the pearl: the real treasure is the oyster itself, a briny, creamy morsel that instantly evokes the sea for those that consume it. At the annual Oyster Cloyster at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, attendees can sample the best creations of celebrated regional chefs using the delectable bivalve and support important local programs at the same time. This premier event is a fundraiser for two beneficiaries: The Aquarium Science degree program at Oregon Coast Community College and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

The heart of the Oyster Cloyster is a cooking competition among the cream of the crop of local and regional chefs, typically 15 of them. They prepare the oysters however they’d like, raw or cooked, fresh or smoked, in appetizers, main dishes, or desserts (yes, really!). For visitors who don’t have time to visit every top restaurant in the area, the Oyster Cloyster offers the opportunity to sample the styles and creations of many of them at once. Past dishes have included Smoked Oyster, Wild Mushroom & White Cheddar Empanada with Tomato Gravy (from the Starfish Grill), Raw Oyster with Horseradish Sour Cream Vinaigrette (Rogue Ales), and Silverspot Ale Smoked Oysters (Pelican Pub). The dishes are evaluated by professional judges, as well as by event attendees who sample the offerings and vote on a People’s Choice Award.

While the oyster is front and center, there is plenty of food for those that don’t care for the briny bivalve, and liquid refreshments are equally outstanding.

Attendees can choose among local Rogue Ales or wines specially chosen for the event. The fabulous food and drinks are consumed in an equally fabulous venue.

Attendees will get to see more of the aquarium than most visitors, as behindthe-scenes tours are always offered.

Rounding out the evening will be live music provided by local ensembles stationed throughout the aquarium, as well as an educational station at which microscopes are set up for attendees to observe the various life stages of oysters.

More information can be found at www.oystercloyster.org.

Newport Marathon attracts hundreds of runners If you’re going to run more than 26 miles over a span of three hours or more, battling fatigue, thirst, and muscle cramps, it helps to have something pretty to look at along the way. The gorgeous, flat, and fast course of the Newport Marathon has been attracting hundreds of runners from far and near since its inception in 1999.

The course begins at Yaquina Bay State Park, home to one of our two lighthouses, and then wends its way through some of Newport’s most scenic neighborhoods, including oceanfront Nye Beach and the Bayfront.

It continues on the Bay Road on a flat, well-paved, wide road that runs along the edge of gorgeous Yaquina Bay. Runners will be treated to vistas of the Yaquina Bay Bridge and the bay itself, home to a wide variety of birds and other wildlife. Fishing boats and gorgeous, forested scenery complete the view. Because the course is nearly all flat, many PRs are earned here, a plus considering that the marathon is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon. One world record was earned on the course as well: Herb Phillips of Burnaby B.C., Canada ran it in 2:47:28 in 2004, breaking the single age world record for 63 year old males.

Of course, there are other scenic, flat, and friendly marathons in the U.S. But there probably isn’t one that offers runners oyster shooters. At mile 11 and again at mile 19 (out and back on the Bay Road), runners are offered the opportunity to slurp down locally raised raw oysters at Oregon Oyster Farms. The record for oyster shooter consumption at the marathon was 80 oysters in one race, consumed by a runner in 2009! If sucking down raw oysters in the middle of a race is not for you, other great local food is offered at the finish line party, including Rogue beer and Mo’s clam chowder, two local favorites.

The event has been growing nearly every year, and registration is capped at 1,000; as many as 750 have entered in recent years. Last year’s entrants came from 29 states and Canada.

For more information, see the marathon’s web site: www. newportmarathon.org.

Newport Symphony Orchestra’s Summerfest Pops to classical, the NSO delights summer crowds The Newport Symphony Orchestra, now in its 25th season, is a true jewel in the crown of this coastal town. It is the only full-season professional symphony on the Oregon coast, and regularly plays to sold-out audiences in its home venue of the Newport Performing Arts Center. When the final note rings out at the last concert of the regular season in March, rather than resting on their laurels, the musicians and conductor will begin preparing for the annual Summerfest concert series in July.

The centerpiece of Summerfest is the annual Fourth of July pops concert, which has attracted nearly a thousand spectators to the Newport High School gymnasium each July 4 for ten years. Thanks to the sponsorship of a number of local businesses, including Mo’s Restaurants and Oregon Coast Bank, the concert is offered free of charge. The program, conducted

by NSO Music Director Adam Flatt, includes pops and patriotic favorites, with a focus on American composers. Past programs have included Broadway show tunes, American anthems, Sousa marches, and light, familiar classical offerings. Soloists have included Oregon legend Norman Leyden, Conductor Emeritus of the Oregon Symphony; Miss America Katie Harman; opera stars Erica Brookhyser and Robert Hale, both of whom have local ties; and appearances as both conductor and narrator

by NSO Resident Conductor, renowned actor David Ogden Stiers. The concert is at the high school at 4 pm on July 4, and is broadcast on 102.7 KYTE FM radio.

Surrounding the July 4 concert is a selection of other concerts and events, some featuring guest artists, and always including a concert performed by a pared down Newport Symphony. These events are often performed at the First Presbyterian Church in Newport, whose sanctuary provides spectacular acoustics for classical music. Because this venue is smaller and more intimate than the Performing Arts Center, the concert features music to be performed by a smaller symphony, such as the string section of the NSO only.

Featured artists have frequently come from the Corvallis-based Chintimini Chamber Music Festival, a summer series that features musicians that grew up in the Corvallis area who have gone on to perform professionally all over the country. Some of the programs have been particularly family-friendly, such as the 2013 concert at which Stiers narrated orchestrations of “Ferdinand the Bull” and “Casey at the Bat.” A convivial (and delicious) component of Summerfest is the Conductors’ Dinner, a fundraising event that has rotated among local restaurants, most recently at the Inn at Otter Crest in Otter Rock just north of Newport.

Symphony musicians provide background music for these feasts, and a raffle of fine wines is always part of the festivities.

For more information about Summerfest, and all of the Newport Symphony Orchestra’s spectacular offerings, go to their web site at www. newportsymphony.org.

Newport by District Neighborhoods of Newport Newport’s neighborhoods each harbor unique treasures Agate Beach explodes with natural beauty: Catch a wave, go clamming, watch spouting whales, take a long walk on a beautiful sandy beach, or visit the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. This district is also home to the Ernest Bloch House, where this well-known composer lived from 1941 to 1959.

Historic Nye Beach is Newport’s original oceanfront resort district and artists’ colony. Today, Nye Beach is a mix of historic cottages, new architecture, and eclectic shops, lodging, and restaurants.

The historic heart of the city, the Deco District contains many buildings featuring the Art Deco style.

Hugging both sides of Highway 101, the Deco District is the mid-point on the ribbon of U.S. Highway 101 that connects four of Newport’s distinct districts.

Newport’s historic Bayfront is a shoreline boulevard where you’ll want to stroll along an authentic slice of the coast. The Port of Newport services Yaquina Bay, a bustling harbor, and home to one of the largest commercial fishing fleets in Oregon.

The South Beach district is filled with all things marine – the Oregon Coast Aquarium, one of the top ten aquariums in the U.S., is a favorite with all ages.

South Beach is also home to the Hatfield Marine Science Center and homeport of NOAA’s Pacific fleet of research vessels.

Forever Funky: Nye Beach Offers Great Food and Shopping Locals and visitors alike love the historic Newport neighborhood of Nye Beach, with its scrumptious restaurants, stunning art galleries, and fascinating shops. Add in the amazing namesake beach, the Newport Performing Arts Center, and an endlessly fun playground at Coast Park, and there’s something in this oceanfront neighborhood for everyone.

Located on the ocean’s edge with lighthouses defining its North and South ends, Nye Beach was once a separate smaller community removed from the Bayfront. When Newport began to outgrow the Bayfront in the 1890s a wood plank road was constructed connecting the two. In the early 1900s this area was the number one tourist attraction on the coast – salt water taffy stores, concessions, agate shops and penny arcades all thrived on Nye Beach.

It was also the home of many well known rooming houses and resorts. When Herbert Hoover’s stepfather, Dr. Henry J. Minthorn, built a large “sanitarium” in the area, tourists flocked in large numbers to soak in heated sea water or bask in the sun on the glassenclosed veranda.

While some chose to stay at the large resorts, others stayed in small cottages or tents. Often the women and children would spend their summers here and the men would visit by train on the weekends. Much of the ambiance, the cottages and resorts which attracted the summer people to Nye

22- www.newportchamber.org

Beach remain. And one must not forget the most wondrous and enduring attraction, the beach!

While you can spend far more than a day exploring Nye Beach, here are some suggestions for some must-do Nye Beach activities. A great way to start your Nye Beach day is by indulging in a steaming latte and mouthwatering pastry at one of the numerous coffe shops.

Eat in or get your breakfast to go and head to the beach.

Whether you’re searching for a vacation souvenir, a wedding gift, or just a little something for yourself, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for in the shops of Nye Beach.

You will also find wines at every price point and from every corner of the world.

From the Willamette Valley to Argentina to Italy and beyond, Nye Beach carries mouthwatering specialty foods such as cheeses, chocolates, and Italian pastas.

Great lunch choices are abundant in Nye Beach. You can find soups, sandwiches, burritos, and other lunchtime fare made fresh, often with local ingredients.

If you want to continue shopping after lunch, head up Coast Street. Stunning shops are packed with treasures from around the globe, from housewares to perfume to jewelry to art. Walking into Nye Beach shops is like wandering into an exotic international bazaar.

Newport’s Historic Bayfront Food, Fun, and the Fishing Fleet Probably no coastal community in the U.S. integrates a working waterfront with a tourist destination better than Newport, where each neighborhood function flourishes and reinforces the other. The Historic Bayfront is Newport’s main working waterfront, where most of the substantial fishing fleet ties up, bringing much of their catch to the fish processing plants that line the bay side of the street. At the same time, this neighborhood is also bursting with excellent restaurants, eclectic treasure-filled shops, and engaging attractions.

Constructed in 1866, the Ocean House on Yaquina Bay was Newport’s first tourist destination resort. Sam Case, its proprietor, named the Ocean House for a resort in Newport, Rhode Island, and it is no coincidence that Case also named Newport for his favorite town in Rhode Island. At the time of its incorporation, Newport was a small hamlet nestled in the area around the Ocean House. Near the Ocean House were several smaller resorts which attracted visitors to Yaquina

Bay. Tourists, or “summer people,” most commonly traveled to Newport by train from the Willamette Valley to Yaquina City approximately three miles East of Newport on Yaquina Bay. From Yaquina City, travelers took a ferry that navigated down the Yaquina to Newport.

Large scale development of a seafood industry, which thrives to this day, did not begin until 1908 when electricity (essential for refrigeration) became available. Jetty construction and dredging, complemented by Newport’s already famous Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, made Yaquina Bay an attractive shipping port. The Bayfront remains an active “working” part of the community and is home to Oregon’s largest commercial fishing fleet.

The Bayfront is also sought out by local residents and visitors alike for its fine restaurants, hotels, galleries, shops, family attractions, sports fishing and whale watching charters.

Today a drive up the scenic Yaquina Bay Road is a journey back in time.

The site of the early settlements of Oysterville and Yaquina City can be seen. Also located along this road is the site of the home of Daniel Boone’s great grandson (Daniel came here in 1852). Yaquina Bay Road ends at Toledo, once the location of the world’s largest spruce mill, built by the U.S. Government to provide spruce for airplane manufacture in World War I (and which later provided all the wood that went into Howard Hughes’ infamous “Spruce Goose”).

Today’s Bayfront provides locals and tourists with great meals, views of sea lions hauled out on rocks and docks, and a range of shopping options.

Here are a few highlights to help you scratch the surface of this diverse and exciting area, but behind every shop door are more surprises, so feel free to explore!

The diverse flavors of the Bayfront pose a diner’s dilemma for every meal. Where to eat? A range of Asian flavors as well as a spectacular bay view can be found at many of the bay front restaurants.

There’s something for everyone in the shops of the Bayfront. Galleries carry a wide range of art, decorative items, furniture, jewelry, and other goods, all handmade. Some especially wonderful treasures include turned wooden bowls, kaleidoscopes, musical instruments, and art prints.

Those with a sweet tooth have multiple options of candy shops. All locations have a dazzling selection of creative flavors of salt-water taffy made with real egg whites rather than oil.

Down at the far end of the Bayfront you can see the vessels of Newport’s fishing fleet tied up. Interpretive signs along the Port Dock marinas explain the differences among the kinds of boats in port and tell a bit of the story of our proud fishing fleet and the types of quarry they pursue.

In the summer months you can often buy fish right off the boats here, including albacore tuna, salmon, crabs, rockfish, and lingcod. Even if you’re not in the market for something for dinner, it’s fun to walk along all of the docks and dream of the seafaring life. If you’re not content to let the commercial fishing fleet do the work for you, you can hop on a charter fishing boat, a number of which are headquartered along the Bayfront, and do the catching yourself.

Finally, a few words about those immense and loud marine mammals you can hear from all along the Bayfront, and see on the docks near Port Dock One. These are male California sea lions hauled out to take a break from their normal activities of stalking fish (or mooching fish guts from the boats and processing plants). While more of them hang around in the late fall and winter after the breeding season is over, you can find the older bulls here pretty much year-round. Follow the racket to the Undersea Gardens and you can look down onto the pier where these guys hang out. Local businesses have collaborated to try to refurbish the haul-out sites so these local celebrities have a more permanent place to crash.

Newport is the site of the central campus of Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC). Serving more than 2,000 individuals each year, OCCC has refined its programs and services to include a variety of programs for college transfer, professional/technical, small business assistance, adult basic skills, and community education. The College created its signature Aquarium Science program, the first students enrolling in fall 2003. It added an Associates Degree Nursing program in fall of 2006.

Students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree at OCCC, earn an associates degree, take courses to obtain employment, prepare to start a small business, get a GED, learn English as a second language, or take courses for personal enrichment. Students may attend full or part-time and take credit and non-credit courses. Students may also take courses online or via videotape.

The Hatfield Marine Science Center is Oregon State University’s campus for research, education, and outreach in marine and coastal sciences.

Many graduate students from Oregon State University conduct lab and field work here, and HMSC offers educational opportunities for students from primary school through college. A major educational expansion of HMSC is planned for the coming years, which will allow for accommodation of 500 students per year. For more information about HMSC, see p. XX or hmsc.oregonstate.edu.

Phagan’s Cosmetology College has a campus in Newport that offers programs in hair design, esthetics, barbering, nail technology, educator training, and more. Founded in 1953, Phagan’s has six campuses throughout the state; the Newport campus was established in 1996.

Their campus building, located on E. Olive Street just east of Olive and Hwy 101, contains academic/lab classrooms, a clinic floor/lab area, a facial room, a dispensary, a student lounge, a reception area and administrative offices. For more information, see www.phagans-schools. com/newport.html.

Education Newport offers a range of educational opportunities for students from preschool-age through college and beyond.

Preschools There are a number of excellent preschools in Newport, some of which include kindergarten and early primary grades as well.

Mouse Factory Cooperative Preschool, the only cooperative preschool in town, is operated out of the First Presbyterian Church. They offer morning sessions either two or four days a week for children ages 3-5. Two Montessori schools, Newport Montessori and Nye Beach Montessori, offer preschool programs as well as kindergarten. Newport Montessori students can attend through grade 3. ABC Preschool, Coastal Kids, and Cubby Preschool (located at Newport High School and partially staffed by childhood education NHS students) are also excellent options.

Finally, there is a federal Head Start program in Newport.

Grades K-12 Newport is a part of the Lincoln County School District (LCSD).

LCSD serves about 5,200 students in kindergarten through 12th grade from all areas of the county along a 55-mile strip of the central Oregon coast. The district is comprised of 10 regular schools and four public charter schools, with a total of 500 employees, all dedicated to providing a comprehensive education for every single student.

Kindergarten through third grade students in Newport may attend Sam Case Primary School. Fourth through sixth grade students attend Newport Intermediate School. For grades seven and eight there are two options: Newport Prep Academy, on campus (but mostly in a separate building) with Newport High School, or Isaac Newton Magnet School, located within the NIS building.

All Newport schools place an emphasis on technology, and many teachers incorporate it into their daily instruction.

Students in Newport are fortunate to have a wealth of natural resources to study as an extension of their classrooms. The Pacific Ocean, Yaquina Bay, and Siuslaw National Forest are only a few of the natural resources that are used by the school district to explore marine science, forestry, tourism, fisheries, and other related subjects. In addition, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and the home port of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s West Coast research vessels offer “living classrooms” that contribute to the district’s goal of producing the most ocean-literate students in the nation.

Newport High School offers the prestigious and challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) program, one of the smallest schools in the nation to do so. IB is a rigorous and comprehensive pre-university course of study for high school juniors and seniors.

IB diploma graduates are welcomed by the world's leading universities, and are often offered exemptions from required classes. Students can choose individual IB classes, or complete the demanding IB diploma program.

Our Living School Our Living School is a small, alternative private school offering elementary education (perhaps expanding in the future beyond primary years). At Our Living School, children learn the intricacies of working within a community, the value of environmental stewardship, and the power of their own mind. Through a solid grasp of scientific thinking and compassionate reasoning, Our Living School cultivates and nourishes life-long learners, creative problem-solvers, and empathetic citizens.

Volunteerism in Newport One of the main energy sources that powers Newport is the spirit of volunteerism that pervades the city. City committees that advise the City Council on everything from development of bike trails to reviewing city audits to developing library policies are comprised of 100% volunteers.

In addition, volunteers apply their skills and energy to guiding visitors through the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s exhibits, raising funds for high school sports teams, operating the Newport Symphony Orchestra, driving Meals on Wheels routes, and every other type of community service you can think of. Any amount of time you have to offer, whether it’s an hour a month or multiple days every week, will be most appreciated at most community institutions. Lincoln County schools, the Newport Public Library, the Performing Arts Center, Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, and the Newport Police Department will all be happy to put volunteers to work. One great way to find out who needs volunteers is by going to the web site of the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties (rsvpoflbl.org) and reviewing their list; most of these volunteer opportunities are not just for those of retirement age.

Good Medicine: Health Care in Newport One important measure of a community is how well it takes care of its citizens, in sickness and in health. Newport is lucky to have not only an excellent hospital, but a range of other health care facilities and options to choose from.

Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital is the major health care center in the city. Located just off Highway 101 overlooking the Yaquina Bay Bridge, SPCH Hospital has been meeting the health care needs of area residents since 1952. Currently, the hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital, with 462 employees, 119 of whom are nurses, and 65 volunteers.

SPCH is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). The hospital offers a complete range of health and medical services including 24-hour, physicianstaffed emergency care, a full-service medical laboratory, physical therapy and rehabilitation, outpatient surgery and single-room maternity care.

Of significant benefit to area residents are the more than 82 practitioners and 8 outlying clinics comprising the medical staff at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. This group of physicians represents a variety of medical specialties to help meet the health care needs of the diverse Oregon Coast population. Hospital staff and physicians work hard to deliver their services in an environment of human sensitivity, technical excellence and fiscal responsibility.

SPCH offers comprehensive medical imaging and laboratory testing services, as well as units focused on diabetes education, hospice services, nutritional counseling, and respiratory services. Samaritan clinics in Newport provide specialized care in the areas of obstetrics and gynecology, hematology and oncology, kidney conditions, occupational medicine, orthopedics, ENT and allergy specialists, internal medicine, and surgery.

The hospital provides emergency care round the clock, and an urgent care walk-in clinic is located in the building as well (hours are M-F 9:00 am to 6:30 pm and Saturday 10 am to 4 pm).

Some major health care functions in Newport are provided outside of the Samaritan umbrella. For example, the main pediatric practice in town, Coastal Pediatrics, is operated independently of SPCH, although it is located right next door to the hospital and the clinic’s doctors have SPCH privileges.

There are approximately 25 dental clinics in Newport, including denturists and orthodontists. For eye care, residents have about a halfdozen practices from which to choose.

Patients in need of physical therapy or rehabilitation will find many options in town. In addition to Samaritan-based practices, there are about a half-dozen physical and occupational therapists in Newport, and many more in the surrounding Lincoln County towns. About a dozen chiropractic offices can also be found in Newport.

Those seeking alternative medicine approaches will also find many options in Newport. There are four clinics that provide acupuncture services and three naturopaths practicing in town. A wide selection of massage therapists also practice here, including at a number of small day spas.

Mental health care is also available, some through Samaritan, some through the Lincoln County Health Department, and some in private practice. These services include addiction counseling; individual, group, and family counseling; and treatment and support for those with persistent and severe mental illness. The county health department is an excellent clearinghouse for all of the counseling and social support services available in Newport and the rest of Lincoln County.

The Lincoln County Health Department provides a number of other health-related services that contribute significantly to wellness in the community. These services include a comprehensive public health program including flu vaccinations, a communicable diseases unit, care for those with HIV/AIDS, and family home visits for first-time parents.

The county also provides a number of education programs, including a tobacco prevention program.

The Portland VA Medical Center maintains a small clinic in Newport, providing primary care, laboratory services, and tele-mental health services for those eligible for veterans’ benefits.

Finally, we have ample access to pharmacies, including large outlets like Fred Meyer and Walgreens, as well as multiple options for the purchase of medical equipment and supplies.

Of course, prevention is often the best medicine, and Newport provides all of the components necessary to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible: great trails for walking, hiking, and biking; mild weather allowing outdoor activities for most of the year; the city Recreation Center, municipal pool, and two private gyms for workouts of all kinds; access to a range of primary care physicians; and healthy food options at our many grocery stores and the local Farmers’ Market.

Living United States Coast Guard

Life in Newport

Story and Photo: Phillip Swett

While Newport’s maritime industries and heritage are almost taken as a matter of course today, it took considerable effort to make small Yaquina Bay a safe haven for seafarers. First came the Yaquina Bay lighthouse to mark the narrow entrance in 1871, then construction of the substantial north and south jetties in the late 1880s and early 1890s to establish a better channel. Those improved the ability of fishermen and sailors to leave and return to port safely, but could provide no succor in times of maritime distress. That took the establishment of the U.S. Lifesaving Service (a founding component of the U.S. Coast Guard) station in South Beach in 1896. Ever since then, the Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay has played a key role in assisting those in need along this stretch of the central Oregon coast.

To keep that in perspective, Bosun’s Mate 1st Class Adam Johnson said the Yaquina Bay bar (the natural deposition of materials at the mouth of the river) is considered the second worst for vessels in the United States, after that off the mouth of the much larger Columbia River. If you need

32- www.newportchamber.org

proof, buy a copy of the fundraising video available at the station; you’ll be impressed.

Under the current command of Community Officer Robert Ornetas, the roughly 50 regulars and 12 reservists of the station conduct about 200 search and rescue and/or towing operations annually, from vessels that are lost in fog, out of power or fuel, taking on water, on fire, or that have medical emergencies.

To perform its duties, Station Yaquina Bay is homeport to two 47’ motor life boats, both a decade old and capable of speeds in excess of 20 knots, with a towing capacity of 150 tons, and a range of 50 nautical miles; a 25 foot Response Boat Small for harbor and river work; and the aging (1956) but still valuable, 9 knot, 52’ Special Heavy Weather Boat Victory. She has a range of 150 nautical miles, the ability to tow vessels up to 750 tons, and can still handle 35’ seas and 30’ breaking surf, with the best of the lot. All but the smallest vessels are self-righting, with everyone aboard strapped in when underway in heavy seas.

Recreation Outdoor Recreational Fishing: A Reel Adventure in Newport If you’re a real DIY kind of person, you’d rather catch your own fish than buy it at the market or order it in a restaurant. In Newport you can catch your own salmon, crabs, clams, tuna, rockfish, and many other tasty treats. No boat? No problem. It’s easy to reserve yourself a spot on one of Newport’s many charter boats, and chase after delicious quarry from rockfish to salmon to tuna.

While charter fishing trips go out year-round, summer weather is usually a bit more calm and comfortable for heading out to sea. Depending on the target species, trips can range from three hours for bay crabbing trips to more than 24 hours for offshore tuna in midsummer and fall. No experience is required; in fact, beginners are sometimes the captain’s favorite clients. Here are some basics to keep in mind.

There are seasons and limited windows to fish for some species, so not every fish is available for the taking all the time. For all of the details on the types and lengths of trips available at a given time, be sure to call the charter company. Bottomfishing trips, which focus on rockfish and lingcod, generally leave the dock year-round. Most outfits run five-hour and tenhour bottomfish trips, depending on the time of year and how far offshore you’re interested in venturing. The five-hour bottomfishing trips in particular are extremely family-friendly.

In season, you can often find 8- or 10-hour combination trips that will take you fishing for both bottomfish and salmon. One-day licenses that will cover you for the trip are generally available from the charter companies; boats will inform you of limits on various species.

Salmon is the Pacific Northwest’s iconic fish, and by many accounts they are bouncing back from some tough years. Summer salmon trips target either coho (mid-June to mid-August) or Chinook (June – October). You will need licenses and tags for salmon fishing, but both are available from the charter companies (usually annual licenses are not available for purchase, though).

Halibut “openers,” short windows of time during which anglers are allowed to fish for these giant flatfish, are scattered throughout the year, and vary depending on assessments of how many fish there are. They are fished until a set total quota is reached, so later halibut dates might not be fished at all.

Albacore tuna usually show up in June or July and stick around close enough to shore to catch until mid-fall. These gorgeous and delicious fighting fish are caught with either rod and reel or a hand-line. Albacore is a delicacy, whether barbecued, canned, or eaten raw, sushi-style. Newport Tradewinds runs a marathon tuna trip: 33 hours at sea to cover multiple bouts of fishing.

Finally, if it’s crab you’re after, you can catch them, too, either on a dedicated bay crabbing trip (for example, Captain’s Reel offers a three-hour crabbing trip) or by adding on ocean crabbing with most of the other types of trips mentioned here, for an extra fee. An Oregon shellfish license is required for crabbing (available from the charter companies), and again, note there are fishery restrictions that the boats will enforce onboard.

Weather can be stunningly variable at sea. Even the rare warm summer day at the beach can translate into cool temperatures offshore, so dress in layers and in appropriate footwear.

Coffee is usually part of most charter deals, but bring your own food and drink. Most charters offer fish cleaning and crab cooking services back at the dock (for a fee). For prices and more specifics, get in touch with the charter companies directly – they’re happy to help find a trip that’s right for you.

Always remember, while Newport-based charter boats are usually highly successful, it’s called “fishing,” not “catching.” Just being out on the ocean can be treat enough. Charter captains can’t wait to share the experience with passengers.

For Charter Fishing, Marine Tours, and Guide Service see page 73 under charter services.

Take a Hike! Lace Up Your Boots and Get onto the Beaten Path Newport is a beautiful place to hike, especially for families – the terrain is varied and generally not too challenging, the views are spectacular, and a latte or ice cream cone is never very far away. Just to the north and south of the city (see listings) are some more challenging, longer hikes that would appeal to more serious trekkers. Here are some short hikes within city limits Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area The federal Bureau of Land Management operates the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, a spit of land at the north end of town that juts out dramatically into the Pacific, punctuated at the end by the stately and beautiful Yaquina Head Lighthouse. There are a number of short walks and hikes that can be strung together for a complete tour of the headland.

A hike up Communications Hill (so-called because the Coast Guard maintains communications equipment at the top of the hill) affords some of the best views in Newport. The trail is less than a mile long, moderately steep in places, and traverses a typical shore pine and Sitka spruce forest.

The views to the north and south are stunning, and wildlife sightings – grey whales, bald eagles, gorgeous formations of pelicans – are common.

Hikers can use the series of paved and well-maintained pedestrian paths to connect to the other short hikes and walks at Yaquina Head. Salal Hill, further out the headland, is a shorter but steeper trail, which also affords outstanding views from the peak. Spring wildflowers can be spectacular here. While descending stairs doesn’t usually count as taking a hike, the staircases down to Cobble Beach are a bit steep, with a great beach as the payoff at the bottom. The large offshore rock islands often provide haulout areas for harbor seals, and at low tide the tide pools here are some of the best (and most accessible) around.

Yaquina Bay Beach Trail This short and scenic trail leaves from Naterlin Drive right near the Coast Guard Station. It follows the north shore of Yaquina Bay and leads onto the north jetty at the mouth of the bay, and from there to the beach in Yaquina Bay State Park.

Mike Miller Park and Connected Trails Mike Miller Park in South Beach is a gorgeous one-mile loop trail that traverses a range of habitats, from an old spruce/fir forest of towering trees to freshwater wetlands. In recent years the Mike Miller loop has been linked to new trails near the Newport campus of Oregon Coast Community College; the trail system can be accessed either from the playground at the Wilder community abutting the college campus or from the Mike Miller trailhead.

If you park at the Mike Miller trailhead off of Rte. 101, you can pick up an

Photos: Johanna Wienert

interpretive brochure and follow the numbered markers along the trail to learn more about this iconic Pacific Northwest ecosystem. In spring, wild rhododendrons tower overhead and salmonberries and other typical native vegetation in every shade of green crowd the view. In most years ospreys nest in snags in the park’s 40 acres, and other bird life is abundant as well. An observation deck at the park’s wetland area brings hikers closer to the newts, turtles, and ducks that are often found in the water.

Terrain is mostly dirt with some gravel and a few small bridges crossing over creeks or particularly wet areas.

About half-way around the loop you will come to signs indicating side trails to the community college and the Emery Trail, named after the generous landowner who allows the use of some of his property for the extensions of these trails. The community college trail links up to the campus, emerging at a lovely playground maintained jointly by the Wilder housing development and the City of Newport. The City’s longterm plans are to extend these trails even further through South Beach, eventually hooking into a trail planned to run all the way from Corvallis to the coast.

South Beach State Park South Beach State Park maintains a range of trails, from a flat, paved bike trail perfect for bikes, scooters, strollers, and rollerblades, to wooded trails that can provide quite a workout. Skirting the edge of the park’s campground is the Cooper Ridge Nature Trail, a 1.75-mile loop through forest and meadow habitats. Terrain is dirt and sand, and there are a few moderately challenging hills. The South Jetty Trail, a paved ADA-accessible path, is a one-mile link between the park and the South Jetty recreation area. The Old Jetty Trail is another wooded alternative, which basically parallels the paved trail but goes through the shore pine forest and dune habitats of the park. Wildlife is abundant in South Beach, especially in the early morning hours – keep your eyes open for deer, birds, and even the occasional coyote.

Beaver Creek State Natural Area Eight miles south of Newport is the relatively new Beaver Creek State Natural Area, which is laced with gorgeous upland meadow trails. Trails start from the Visitor Center, or from a less well-marked parking area on South Beaver Creek Road (ask at the Visitor Center for directions). Because much of the park is in low-lying wetlands, trail access can be limited, or covered in mud and water, during some months so the southern access point allows for a less mucky start to your hike. Hikers will almost surely see evidence of the elk herds that frequent the park, and perhaps signs of other wildlife – bears, raptors, deer, river otters, and even cougar and bobcat – as well.

Outdoor Beachy Keen: The beaches are the main event in Newport

Visitors come to Newport for many reasons – restaurants, attractions like the Oregon Coast Aquarium, fishing opportunities, the shops of the Bayfront and Nye Beach – but everyone knows that the main attraction is the beach.

Locals love it. Visitors love it. We all walk and surf and fly kites and romp and picnic and dig and beachcomb and escape there. But which beach to choose for a given outing? Here’s an insider’s guide to the beaches of Newport, each a bit different from the next, and each absolutely stunning.

Beverly Beach Access: from the Beverly Beach State Park Day Use Area, easy access over mostly level ground and a few rocks Amenities: Campground, bathrooms, picnic tables, water fountain, nature center (at state park)

Don’t Miss: Fossils!

At the northern end of Newport is Beverly Beach, accessed easily at the day use area of Beverly Beach State Park at 123rd Street. The entrance to the beach is right next to Spencer Creek, which winds through the state park and empties onto the sand here. What really sets Beverly Beach apart is its rich trove of fossils that erodes out of the cliffs lining the beach. Winter storms eat away at the cliffs and then deposit these ancient treasures on the beach. You can find clams and other shellfish from the Astoria formation, about 18 million years old, as well as rarer finds like whale vertebrae, crabs, and shark teeth.

Moolack Beach Access: Multiple fairly steep trails from the official parking area can be slippery – take care scrambling down Amenities: None Don’t Miss: The opportunity for a long walk with a view to Yaquina Head Just south of Beverly Beach and north of Yaquina Head is Moolack Beach.

Moolack is also a good place for fossil- and agate-hunting, and a surfing destination. The best thing about this beach is that it is typically uncrowded, yet provides a wide, flat beach for kite flying, sand castle building, Frisbee tossing, and other typical beach activities.

Cobble Beach at Yaquina Head Access: Stairs, stairs, stairs Amenities: Bathrooms at the Visitor Center and near the lighthouse, interpretive displays and small gift shop at the Visitor Center Don’t Miss: Tide pools Among the treasures of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area is Cobble Beach, where the beach consists of largish volcanic black stones rather than sand. Past the cobbles are some of the best tide pools in the area, accessible at low tide and home to a near-infinite variety of sea anemones, sea stars, urchins, nudibranchs, crabs, mussels, and other critters. The towering offshore rocks here provide habitat for nesting birds in the summer time, and seals frequently haul out and rest on the smaller offshore rocks and also on the shore at the north end of the beach.

Agate Beach Access: Three access points along the length of the beach: the Agate Beach Wayside on Oceanview Drive, the Lucky Gap trail with parking at the south end of the Roby’s Furniture parking lot on Hwy 101, and down a very steep and sometimes-slippery trail near the north end of the beach – park in the small lot across from the Lighthouse Diner or on the road and walk down toward the beach. At all access points a creek usually needs to be crossed to get to the surf line – usually at the Wayside it’s either small enough to jump across or someone has laid wood across it.

Amenities: Bathrooms and picnic tables at the Agate Beach Wayside; none at other access points Don’t Miss: Surfers near Yaquina Head While it’s actually not easy to find an agate on Agate Beach these days, the delights of this beach are innumerable. When the summer wind comes from the north, Yaquina Head provides a wind break at the north end of the beach, allowing it to really heat up at that spot even when people are shivering in their fleeces a short distance to the south. One of the most popular activities at this beach is surfing, particularly at the north end of the beach. The rocks near the headland, exposed at low tide, hide crabs and other animals seemingly placed there just to delight children with buckets.

Nye Beach Access: The main access to Nye Beach is at the Nye Beach Turnaround in

36- www.newportchamber.org

the neighborhood of Nye Beach. Access is very easy – just a very short ramp from the parking lot and you’re on the sand.

Amenities: Bathrooms and picnic tables at the Turnaround, as well as a foot wash.

Don’t Miss: Jumpoff Joe Nye Beach is probably the most visited beach in Newport, as it is easily accessible, adjacent to the funky neighborhood of Nye Beach, and wide and lovely. To the north of the turnaround is the remains of Jumpoff Joe, what used to be a sandstone sea stack that has eroded away. One great thing about Nye Beach is its proximity to the shops and restaurants of Nye Beach.

Coffee, pastries, ice cream, and more can all be purchased and snacked on at the beach.

Yaquina Bay State Park Access: Stairs, some paved walkway, and trails through the dunes Amenities: Bathrooms and picnic area near the parking lot, Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, Fishermen’s Memorial Sanctuary Don’t Miss: Walking through the dunes The next beach access as you head south is at Yaquina Bay State Park, home of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. From the main parking area you can look down on the entrance to Yaquina Bay and watch the boats come and go, and get a great view of the Yaquina Bay Bridge as well. Unique to this beach is the walk through the dunes behind the beach that you can take in order to access the shore. You can also walk part of the way out onto the rock jetty on the north side of the bay entrance. The bay entrance itself is a constant source of entertainment, with boats coming and going, seals and sea lions foraging, and a wide array of marine birds diving, swimming, and swooping.

South Beach Access: Easy access over a dune trail at the day use area of South Beach State Park south of the bridge Amenities: Bathrooms and picnic tables, campground, paved and unpaved nature trails behind the dunes Don’t Miss: Walking and biking trails South Beach is perfect for walking, surfing, boogie boarding, and just about any other beach activity you like. To the north of the beach access is the south jetty at the entrance to Yaquina Bay. The special bonus at South Beach is the set of trails, both paved and unpaved, that parallels the shore just behind the dunes. These trails, which include a great paved path perfect for family bike rides and the Cooper Ridge hiking trail, connect South Beach State Park with the South Jetty recreation area, as well as with the campground within the park. One side trail is an ADA-accessible interpretive boardwalk trail that provides information about the natural history of the area.

Ona Beach Access: Short walk from parking lot (8 miles south of Newport) over the bridge spanning Beaver Creek, easy footing to get onto the beach Amenities: Bathrooms and picnic tables near the parking area, boat launch across Rte. 101 Don’t Miss: Beaver Creek Ona Beach State Park, now called Brian Booth State Park, is the gateway to activities of both salt and freshwater. From the park’s beach access you can walk far to the south. When winter storms scour sand off the beach, gorgeous rock formations are revealed. Beaver Creek spills out onto the beach here, flowing under a picturesque bridge and over rocks to empty into the ocean. Slightly further upstream the creek provides excellent opportunities for canoeing and kayaking through productive and spectacular wetlands teeming with life.

Thank you, Newport!

Paddlers’ Paradise Kayak tour explores Beaver Creek wetlands

By Larry Coonrod

Editor’s Note: Paddling enthusiasts can kayak locally in Yaquina Bay, in the ocean, and in local rivers. The most popular spot for canoeing and kayaking is Beaver Creek, which empties into the ocean at Brian Booth State Park (also called Ona Beach State Park) south of Newport. Enjoy Larry Coonrod’s description of a South Beach State Park ranger-led Beaver Creek paddle. For information about current kayaking tours, make sure to navigate to the Brian Booth State Park web site via the Oregon State Parks web site at www.oregonstateparks.org.

The bald eagle perched a top a fog-enshrouded snag overlooking Beaver Creek gave the eight would-be kayakers their first indication that they were about to leave the ordinary behind.

If the noble bird had a sense a humor, he was no doubt enjoying the sight of the novices nervously milling about trying to adjust foot pegs and absorb a three-minute course in kayaking from tour guides Ray and Joann Fowels.

"The cardinal rule of kayaking is to stay centered," Ray advised.

If any of the adults were having second thoughts about paddling the narrow craft away from the safety of the boat launch, the sight of a grinning 10-yearold Lauren Markley of Salem - eager to get started - made them reconsider.

Sponsored by South Beach State Park, the kayak tour program uses relatively stable recreational kayaks manufactured by the Old Town Canoe Company in Maine. And while an experienced kayaker might find them a bit tame, they're perfect for novices.

"These are very safe and easy to keep upright. They're like a boat on the bottom," Ray assured the group. “Nobody’s going to get wet."

According to Joanne, in the couple's six-years of guiding tours on Beaver Creek, they've only had a handful of clients find themselves sans kayak and swimming, most the result of horseplay.

"We went three years without anyone falling out," Joanne said.

With the preliminary instructions out of the way, the cavalcade of sleek bright red, yellow, and blue craft began their journey upstream with Joanne in the lead and Ray trailing behind, like a couple of geese keeping watch over their young flock.

"You're in a true sanctuary here," Joanne said as the tour group headed upstream.

The Wetland Conservancy owns and manages 80 acres along Beaver Creek wetland complex (designated one of Oregon's greatest wetlands) upstream of Ona Beach State Park. In 2007, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department purchased an additional 318 acres, establishing the Beaver Creek State Natural Area. The OPRD plans to open the area up for recreational use in 2010.

Beaver Creek is home to coho salmon, cutthroat trout, steelhead, beaver, river otters, bears, bald eagles, blue and green herons, and numerous migratory birds.

"A coastal marsh is like a biological supermarket," Joanne tells the group. "It's a virtual smorgasbord for these animals."

The marsh acts much like a human kidney in filtering out pollution. Its muddy bottom is a giant sponge.

True to its name, the creek is home to a thriving colony of beavers, although at one time they were nearly wiped out by trapping, Joanne said. With all the kayaks, "logged up" in a tight cluster along the sedge grass covered bank, she pointed out a beaver lodge and explained how the beavers build a multilevel structure by first surveying the site and then gathering the building materials, much like a human construction crew might.

Another resident of Beaver Creek, nutria, are more recent transplants. After trapping nearly depleted the beaver population in the late 1800s and early 1900s, fur traders brought the quick-breeding nutria from South America to replace beaver pelts.

Nutria's feeding habits and burrowing cause erosion, and can devastate marshland.

"I like to tell people that beavers are nature's engineers, and nutria are the demolition experts," Joanne said.

They might be considered a "large rat" by some; nevertheless, an adult nutria and its offspring thrilled the kayakers by staying put in a canopy of grass as they took turns paddling to within a few feet and taking pictures.

The park's Thursday evening tours produce more sightings of the nocturnal beavers, Joanne said.

Before moving along on the tour, Joanne elicited some good-natured groans with a few corny wildlife jokes told in her soft Texan accent.

"How can you tell a bald eagle in the wild? It combs its hair over to one side (Get it?)," and "Why do seagulls live on the sea and not the bay? Otherwise they'd be Baygulls."

By the time the tour group turned around about a mile from the starting point, the novice kayakers looked like veterans, feeling confident enough to spread out and explore along the banks by themselves.

Before ending the tour, the Smiths had one final exercise for the group: closing their eyes and drifting along for one minute just listening. Nature is anything but quiet along Beaver Creek. The call of a blue heron, the chirping of song birds, and the sound of raindrops splattering on the water made it easy to forget that just around the corner cars and trucks were whizzing by on Highway 101.

Before they departed on that same highway back to the less serene sounds of modern civilization, Ray left everyone with a bit of wisdom about the future of wild lands: "The Lord created the world for us, but he also made us the stewards."

Thanks to its large range of habitats, from coastal forests to beaches to wetlands, Newport is a birders’ paradise. Here is a brief guide to some of the prime birding spots around town and what you can find at each.

Beverly Beach State Park Great examples of shorebirds and other marine species can be observed at the expansive beach here (and at Newport’s other beaches as well). Look for Western and Hermann’s Gulls, Common Loons, and Brown Pelicans flying by, and sanderling, whimbrel, and Western Sandpiper on the sand. In the park and campground, you can find Pileated Woodpecker, Band-tailed Pigeon, Swainson’s Thrush, Pacific Slope Flycatchers, Brown Creepers, and Wilson’s Warbler.

Yaquina Head This site has been designated a Globally Important Bird Area. From April through July, thousands of Common Murres and many cormorants, both Brandts and Pelagic, will be seen on nearby offshore rocks. On the cliffs gulls, Pigeon Guillemots, and Pelagic Cormorants maintain precarious nests. Bald Eagles are a common summertime sight, as they prey on the young seabirds on the offshore rocks. Other summer birds include Black Oystercatchers, Western Gulls, and Brown Pelicans. Winter birds include Red-necked and Western Grebe and Common Loon. If you’re very lucky, you could spot an occasional Marbled Murrelet or Peregrine Falcon.

Bay Road Yaquina Bay Road, extending from the Bayfront neighborhood to Toledo, is a great place to spot a range of birds year-round. According to the web site of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail (www.oregoncoastbirding.com), “…birding is very good along the entire length of Yaquina Bay Road and best from fall to spring. Stop at pullouts along the way to view loons, grebes, ducks and gulls.”

Other species that frequent the bay here include brandt, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Green Heron, and Snowy Egret. Winter birds include Dunlin, Western and Least Sandpiper, and Black Turnstones. One must-stop spot on the road is Sally’s Bend, near the LNG tanks (1702 Yaquina Bay Road). “Walk west of the road to view terrestrial birds like Western Meadowlark, Northern Shrike, Killdeer, and Wilson’s Snipe, American Pipit and Western Kingbird in spring,” advises the Oregon Coast Birding Trail web site. Other likelies are Bald Eagles and a range of waterbirds in spring (Canvasback, American Wigeon, scoters, mergansers, and grebes among them). Belted Kingfishers are often found on the powerlines along the bay side of the road.

Estuary Trail The Estuary Trail traverses the edge of Yaquina Bay on the campus of the Hatfield Marine Science Center in South Beach. Over 3,000 feet of trail offer year-round public access to the estuary, and interpretive signs are placed along the trail, with an observation shelter provided approximately midway.

Parts of the trail and facilities are accessible to the physically challenged.

This trail is a feast at any time of year. In winter, “check bushes and pines for Palm Warbler and the fields for Savannah Sparrow. Fall brings Western Meadowlark. These grounds are well known for vagrants during migration like Sage Thrasher, Mountain Bluebird, and Say’s Phoebe. On the mudflats in fall, waterfowl are abundant… Peak shorebird migration is late April; expect Dunlin, Western and Least Sandpiper, Semipalmated Plover, Whimbrel, and Long-billed Curlew,” advises the Oregon Coast Birding Trail. Birds of prey, including Bald Eagle, Merlin, and White-tailed Kite are seen here as well.

South Jetty Many habitats come together at the South Jetty at the mouth of Yaquina Bay and the trails that extend from there south to South Beach State Park.

Along the South Jetty Road, look for loons, cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, and Harlequin Ducks. The coastal dunes along the paved walking trail offer the opportunity to spy a range of species, including swallows, flycatchers, and Cedar Waxwing. Some winters, Snowy Owls have been found in the dunes.

For more detailed information about birding spots and species, go to the Oregon Coast Birding Trail website at www.oregoncoastbirding.com.

Pedal-Pushing Paradise

SERVING ALL OF LINCOLN COUNTY

Biking Around Newport Whether you’ve got a sleek, speedy road bike, a tricked-out mountain bike, or a touring bike with a tinkly bell and a wicker basket on the handlebars, there’s a bike ride for you in and around Newport. Bike rides in the Newport area include road rides with and without killer hills, beautiful paved bike paths, and gnarly trails that include everything from gravel road to single track.

A lovely, flat, family-friendly ride is found at South Beach State Park, where a one-mile paved trail runs from the day use area parking lot to the South Jetty parking area. The trail is protected from the summer wind, but the ocean is always nearby: multiple beach access points and an interpretive boardwalk along the trail can make for great side trips. This ride can hook up to the paved trails along the south side of Yaquina Bay all the way to the NOAA facility, and even out to Idaho Point on flat, wide roads along the bay and King Slough.

If you want to get out into the woods on mountain bike trails, there are a number of options. A gravel and dirt road extends from Big Creek Park along the shore of Newport’s drinking water reservoir, an out-and-back ride of a little less than 4 miles (please respect private property, which begins at the yellow gate at the end of the road). You can add about 1.5 miles on to this ride by riding on dirt, gravel, and boardwalks on the Ocean to Bay trail from Big Creek Park to Agate Beach and back. More serious mountain bikers can apply for a free permit to ride a web of trails accessible behind Oregon Coast Community College in South Beach. These trails are the site of the annual Coast Hills Classic mountain bike race that takes place in muddy May. There are also extensive trails at Olalla Lake in nearby Toledo.

Road riders will enjoy the Lighthouse to Lighthouse ride, which follows a significant stretch of oceanfront, punctuated at either end by a spectacular lighthouse. This moderately challenging route runs the length of the Nye Beach neighborhood, offering a good workout along with its gorgeous views. A short stretch of Highway 101 is necessary on this ride. Keep in mind that the Lighthouse Drive piece of the ride, which extends from Highway 101 to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, is only accessible during the operating hours of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Another great road option is the Bay Road between Newport’s Bayfront and the city of Toledo.

Wide, flat, and low-traffic for most of the ride, this trek takes riders from the scent of salt-water taffy and the bustle of the Bayfront’s restaurants and shops, through the quiet stillness of Yaquina Bay’s backwaters, to the industrial waterfront of Toledo.

The Newport Swim Team and the Newport High School Swim Team also practice here and host meets. As busy and critical as this facility is, it is aging, and not likely to last much longer.

In November of 2013, residents of Newport approved a bond measure that will collect funds for the construction of a brand new municipal pool to be constructed adjacent to the Newport Rec Center. The new facility will include an eightlane lap pool, a warm-water therapy pool, a shallow toddler play area, and a therapeutic hot tub. Construction will be complete some time in 2016.

Doing Business in Newport

Doing Business Still as alluring as ever, Newport, Oregon is not only a great place to live and raise a family, it's a fertile ground for business growth and prosperity.

The beauty of the Pacific Ocean and the scenic coastal beaches naturally attracts people to the port city of Newport. Newport has been named as one of the "Paradise Found: 12 Great Towns You Could Call Home" in Pacific Northwest Magazine.

The City is located in Lincoln County, along Oregon's Central Coast, at the confluence of the Yaquina River and the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean, award winning sandy ocean beaches, wilderness areas and national forests are a few of the amenities that the area offers.

The 992 square miles of Lincoln County also encompass mountainous, wooded terrain, steep ridges, and winding inland valleys along with level river flood plains and ocean beaches. The elevation of Newport ranges from sea level to 300 feet, with a mean elevation of 75 feet.

Newport is situated in the central region of Lincoln County which consists of the cities of Depoe Bay, Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Toledo, Waldport and Yachats, and the communities of Chitwood, Seal Rock and Tidewater.

Newport, the county seat of Lincoln County, is the business center of

the county. Most commercial/retail development is on the bayfront and along Highway 101, which bisects the city. Newport is a transportation hub, with state highway routes to the north, south, and east, an airport, and an excellent port.

The city is a progressively growing community committed to preserving the treasures of the Oregon coast while creating a successful business environment, keeping businesses viable, and on their competitive toes.

The steady population growth, breathtaking environment, great quality of life and continued economic vitality of the Newport area has made it an ideal location for business to thrive. Profiles of three highly successful local businesses here – Mo’s Restaurants, Bike Newport, and Advanced Research Corporation – show just how well Newport supports business.

This publication is intended to provide an overview of the business and economic climate of Newport and Lincoln County. All available information is Lincoln County data, unless Newport specific numbers were available. While the information is reviewed annually, monthly or quarterly information on specific areas may be obtained from the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, 555 SW Coast Hwy, Newport OR 97365, 1-800-262-7844.

Mo’s Restaurants

Doing Business in Newport - Business Profiles

No visit to Newport is complete without a steaming bowl of Mo’s Restaurant’s world-famous clam chowder. This family-owned business has been operating on the Newport Bayfront for more than 65 years, first as “Freddie and Mo’s” and shortly thereafter as Mo’s. Mohava Marie Niemi and a friend started the business after Mo owned, and sold, the Bay Haven Inn on the Bayfront. The “little joint on the waterfront” with the wonderful, creamy clam chowder grew and expanded, until it was necessary to open “Mo’s Annex” across the street to accommodate the enthusiastic crowds. Patrons have included everyone from local fishermen to visiting luminaries such as Senator Robert Kennedy and Paul Newman.

In the mid-70s the restaurant began packaging and freezing chowder base to sell in retail outlets. It can now be ordered online and shipped just about anywhere. Around the same time, the operation expanded to include restaurants in Otter Rock, Lincoln City, Florence, and Cannon Beach. The Mo’s Chowder Factory, still on the Newport Bayfront, produces about 500,000 pounds of clam chowder a year, some packaged and shipped to grocery stores and the rest delivered fresh to all the Mo’s Restaurants.

As the reputation of the restaurant grew, it received national attention, including write-ups in a range of national publications and the honor of being served at the first luncheon ever held in the Smithsonian Institute, which celebrated “Best American Regional Foods.”

Today Mo’s is owned by Mo’s granddaughter, Cindy McEntee, and Cindy’s son, Dylan, operated with help from Dylan’s sister, Gabrielle. For her “outstanding development of her business and her contributions to the community” Cindy was awarded the 2001 First Runner Up, National Small Business Person of the Year by President George W. Bush. The current generation continues the Mo’s traditions of excellent food, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and also of service to the community.

Bike Newport

Advanced Research Corporation

Bike Newport loves Newport, and Newport loves this small business right back. This full-service bike shop opened its doors in December of 2005.

Beyond providing bikes of all kinds, bike accessories, parts and gear, and service and repairs, Bike Newport serves as the heart of the large and growing cycling community in town. The staff organizes road and mountain bike rides throughout the year, from “Mellow Monday” road rides in the summer to gnarly nighttime mountain bike rides in the winter to the very popular Coast Hills Classic mountain bike race in the spring. They also offer classes at the shop, including bike repair clinics, yoga for cyclists, and kickboxing.

Hailing from Santa Cruz but living inland in Grants Pass, Elliott and Daniella Crowder longed to return to the coast, so when an opportunity arose to purchase an existing bike shop in Newport, they took the leap. They and their young son, Elliott (junior and senior are often referred to as Little Elliott and Big Elliott), left the restaurant business and followed their passion to open Bike Newport. They soon moved to a new location, and business grew and grew. “We take great joy in getting people on bikes, from a child's first bike to Grandma's three-wheeler!” Daniella Crowder said.

“We love doing business and raising our son in Newport as it is such a wonderful community. We are very active in this community and believe that is a big reason that customers are loyal and supportive of our business,” she reflected.

The Crowders won’t rest until Newport is the biking capital of the Oregon coast. They’ve made incredible progress toward that goal using a combination of effective advocacy and partnerships with everyone from local landowners to the city of Newport. They secured access to an amazing web of mountain biking trails on private property in South Beach, and they revitalized a local cycling club which meets regularly at their shop.

More about Bike Newport can be found at www.bikenewport.com.

When John Lavrakas, owner of Advanced Research Corporation, was looking to relocate his small, Colorado Springs-based tech company in 2007, he sought a community with a collaborative spirit poised for growth, one that would provide the support and work force needed for his firm. He found all of this and more in Newport, and he and his family happily relocated.

ARC provides R&D, consulting, and testing for air, marine, space, and land technology projects, particularly those with a positioning or satellite telemetry component.

ARC's Yaquina Technologies division, headed by Wil Black, creates innovative mobile and web based applications for scientific, educational, and marketing purposes. John Lavrakas serves as a subject matter expert on GPS for the U.S. Department of Transportation. Since moving to the Oregon coast, the company has developed a particular expertise in fishery information systems which help consumers track exactly where the fish they buy came from. In 2008-2009, the company developed the Pacific Fish Trax kiosk, subsequently piloted at two Portland-area News Seasons grocery stores.

This product allows consumers to scan a bar code on frozen fish to connect to information about the fisherman and vessel that caught the fish. This project has now developed into a nationally branded seafood trace system, Fish Trax Marketplace, developed in cooperation with OSU and the Oregon fishing industry.

Advanced Research Corporation currently has four employees and a number of local and national contracts. In 2011, John Lavrakas was recognized as the Oregon Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Doing Business in Newport Commercial Fishing A Major Newport Industry

Photo: Johanna Wienert

Information courtesy of Fishermen Involved in Natural Energy (FINE), finecommittee.org Commercial fishing in Oregon is a significant contributor to Oregon’s coastal and state economy. Approximately 248 commercial fishing vessels are home-ported in Lincoln County, the majority of which are based in Newport (some are also based in Depoe Bay and Toledo). There are at least double that number of commercial fishing vessels in the county, representing vessels that are home-ported elsewhere but spend time fishing off of Lincoln County. Vessels range in size from 18 to 126 ft, and are valued at $5000 to $3 million. A few of these vessels are distant water vessels that spend the majority of their fishing year in Alaska, returning to Lincoln County for maintenance and repairs and, in some cases, to participate in the Dungeness crab and whiting fisheries.

Most of the commercial fishing fleet fishes locally and sells their catch to buyers in this area. While the majority of their fishing effort and subsequent harvest occurs outside of state waters, significant production in crab, salmon, and groundfish occurs within three miles of the coast (state waters) in some years. The majority of the sport-fishing activities also take place within three miles.

During the 2003-2006 time period, the ex-vessel value (price paid to fishermen) for commercial landings of fish and shellfish in Lincoln County totaled $113,219,443, or an average of $28,304,861 per year. Dungeness crab was the highest value species harvested, averaging $11,798,048 per year. The ex-vessel dollars are multiplied into the community several times over. In 2006 Dungeness crab was the top species landed in Oregon by value.

Whiting was the top volume species averaging 72,772,189 pounds per year. Distant water commercial fishing vessels, from 75-126 ft in length, fishing primarily in Alaska, contribute an additional $32 million per year to the Lincoln County Economy. In 2006 Newport, Oregon ranked 13th in the nation for seafood landings.

Newport’s Marine Science Economy: Economic growth through studying the sea Newport residents have always made a living from the sea. Fishing is in our history and in our blood, and our tourism economy relies heavily on our gorgeous beaches. Another ocean-related economic engine here is marine science, a major and growing sector of our economy. From cutting-edge research to ocean monitoring to innovative educational approaches, we make it our business to learn about the ocean and educate children and adults about its mysteries.

Oregon State University’s (OSU) Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) is the centerpiece of this sector. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015, HMSC employs about 300 scientists, educators, students, and support staff.

In addition to OSU faculty members based at HMSC, many government agencies are co-located on the South Beach campus, including personnel from the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the U. S. Geological Survey, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The overall budget of the center, including both OSU and agency budgets, is approximately $46 million. One of the center’s greatest strengths is collaborative research, facilitated by the co-location of so many agencies. The cutting-edge research at HMSC includes studies of salmon genetics, impacts of ocean acidification on fish and shellfish, underwater volcanoes, oyster nutrition, marine mammal migrations, and more.

The center operates two research vessels: The 54-foot Elakha, used for coastal work, and the 177-foot Oceanus for work offshore. OSU’s Marine Mammal Institute also operates the R/V Pacific Storm, a retrofitted trawler.

OSU was recently awarded a contract to lead the development of the next series of federal research vessels; one of the first to be produced will operate out of Newport, replacing the aging Oceanus.

OSU is planning an extensive expansion of the HMSC facility, mission, and programs. The goal of the initiative is to integrate all of OSU’s ocean-related offerings and expand the Newport campus to accommodate 500 students in residence per year (currently there are about 50 students in residence at 46- www.newportchamber.org

HMSC at any given time). Plans call for expanded facilities, including extensive classroom, office, and laboratory space.

OSU is also a major player in the development of marine renewable energy, wave energy in particular, on the Oregon coast. The Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC), a partnership between OSU and the University of Washington, operates the Pacific Marine Energy Center (PMEC) offshore of Newport. PMEC consists of two offshore test sites – one autonomous and one grid-connected – where wave energy devices can be tested.

A new addition to the marine science cluster in Newport is the NOAA Marine Operations Center – Pacific (MOC-P), the headquarters of the entire Pacific fleet of NOAA research vessels, also in South Beach close to HMSC. After a highly competitive bidding process, Newport was successful in attracting the facility here. Construction was completed by the Port of Newport in 2011.

Five research vessels dock in at the Newport facility, which is staffed by 175 people (not all of whom are residents of Lincoln County). These vessels map the ocean floor to create nautical charts, conduct fisheries surveys, and serve as platforms for government and university research.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative of the National Science Foundation is a networked system of cutting-edge sensors that will monitor the chemistry and biology of the ocean and seafloor. One set of these instruments, part of the so-called “Endurance Array,” will be located offshore of Newport, including cabled arrays of sensors and standalone buoys; autonomous research gliders will also ply the waters as part of the OOI. The array will have a life span of 25 years, with an NSF investment of approximately $60 million per year.

While coordination and management of the OOI program locally (and, in part, regionally) is being conducted by faculty at Oregon State University in Corvallis, a Newport presence is planned, and local contractors and businesses could be utilized for tasks such as buoy maintenance, storage, and repair.

Another ocean observing system that has a local component is the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), which is the Regional Association of the national Integrated Ocean Observing

System (IOOS) in the Pacific Northwest, primarily Washington and Oregon.

NANOOS is a partnership of over 40 entities, including industry, state agencies, local governments, tribes, non-government organizations, and educational institutions, which work together to provide intensive monitoring of the marine environment. The Port of Newport and personnel from the Newport office of the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries are partners in this initiative.

Thanks in part to the concentration of marine science being conducted in Newport, an equally impressive array of marine education programs is also clustered here. Hatfield is a critical center of marine education, providing undergraduate and graduate education through OSU and HMSC’s partner agencies, as well as public education via its Oregon Sea Grant-run Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is also a laboratory where exciting new research is being conducted by OSU faculty and graduate students on how people learn in informal learning environments like museums. Finally, Sea Grant personnel provide hands-on classes to visiting students from classrooms all over the state.

The Oregon Coast Aquarium, located close to HMSC in South Beach, attracts visitors from around the globe – in fact, it is one of the top tourist attractions in Oregon. It is a critical educational resource for the state as well: more than 40,000 students come through its doors every year. Parents Magazine, Forbes Traveler, USA Today, 10Best.com and Coastal Living named the Oregon Coast Aquarium among the top ten in the nation. The Portland Business Journal listed the Aquarium as one of the top five education-based nonprofits in the state and Spirit Magazine called Passages of the Deep “The coolest 50 yards on the Oregon Coast.” The Aquarium also has an active outreach program, which brings their education program to students around the state.

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry recently purchased a parcel in South Beach where they intend to build a facility to accommodate a summer residential marine science camp

What is the economic impact of all of this marine science activity? A 2011 analysis estimated that the overall indirect spending resulting from the marine science and education sector was $55 million, creating a total of 1200 jobs in the region. The sector represents 6% of the county’s economy (as of 2013).

Seeing the potential for major economic growth based on the marine research sector, local economic development interests, businesses, scientists, and community leaders have developed a group to help address this issue proactively. The Yaquina Bay Ocean Observing Initiative (YBOOI) is committed to pursuing collaborative economic development opportunities for Newport and Lincoln County related to ocean observing activities. They have conducted multiple strategic planning events and an ocean observing conference in Newport in recent years, and a steering committee is spearheading efforts to capitalize on these opportunities.

The room for growth in this sector is enormous. YBOOI, the Chamber of Commerce, the City of Newport, Lincoln County, and the Port of Newport are all committed to encouraging businesses to relocate or grow in Newport and on the central coast in general. There isn’t a better place in the Pacific Northwest to build a marine-related business.

Tourism

Things to Do and See in Newport Tourism It’s a well-known fact that people come to Newport to visit because there is so much to do and see here. Approximately two to three million people a year come for the beach, the scenery, the attractions, the activities, the culinary opportunities, the beer, or just to get away. Newport appeals to “kids” of all ages.

Tourism is a major driver of Newport’s economic engine. With over 1700 lodging rooms throughout the city, one can certainly find a range of accomodations that meet every need.

The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to increasing the frequency and duration of stay for convention, leisure, and group travelers.

While there may be competition with other coastal markets for visitor business, Newport is clearly a great choice. The town is an authentic “boots-on” kind of community, offering one hundred percent Newport – the real deal! If you have questions related to tourism, or are interested in finding a location in Newport for an event or meeting, please contact Bobbi Price, Festival & Tourism Coordinator at the Newport Chamber of Commerce at (541) 2658801 or bobbi@newportchamber.org.

Tourism Guiding Lights:

Things to Do and See in Newport

Newport’s Two Lighthouses Newport has two picturesque lighthouses that were historically used to guide and warn ships at sea. These historic treasures are now landmarks and tourist destinations as well as icons of our beautiful city.

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse A piece of Oregon history sits atop a bluff at the mouth of the Yaquina River: the historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, built in 1871 and decommissioned in 1874, having been made obsolete by the new Yaquina Head Lighthouse. It was officially restored as a privately maintained aid to navigation on December 7, 1996.

It is believed to be the oldest structure in Newport. It is also the only existing Oregon lighthouse with the living quarters attached, and the only historic wooden Oregon lighthouse still standing. The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

It is also rumored to be haunted.

The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse has been restored to the condition it was in when it was a working lighthouse by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), with the help of many people and agencies, including Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses. The Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses is a private 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed by local citizens to provide and support the restoration, education and interpretive services of the park. This organization relies heavily on volunteer support in all areas of operation.

The official relighting ceremony with the US Coast Guard took place on December 7, 1996.

The light shines with a steady white light from dusk to dawn (and sometimes on dark days, because it is controlled by a photocell). The light is 161 feet above sea level.

The Lighthouse is open to the public every day except for holidays such as Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving. Entrance is free by donation. The lighthouse is accessible via paved trails and a walkway leading to the top of the hill within Yaquina Bay State Park, at the north end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Access-compromised visitor groups are encouraged to use the large parking lot at the back of the lighthouse (entrance at SW Government and 9th Streets).

Inside the lighthouse, two flights of stairs lead to the watch room. The lantern room is not open to the public. The basement is open to the public and features a video about the lighthouse. The interpretive store offers many educational items about lighthouses and the surrounding coastal habitat.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse With more than 350,000 visitors a year, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse is one of the West Coast’s most visited lighthouses. Located just north of Newport in the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse was built in 1873, and remains an excellent example of late 1800s lighthouses. At 93 feet, the tower is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon. Located on a narrow point of land jutting due west into the Pacific Ocean. The Yaquina Head Lighthouse took more than a year to build, using more than 370,000 bricks.

The light has been active since Head Keeper Fayette Crosby first walked up the 114 steps to light the wicks on the evening of August 20, 1873. During this time, the oil-burning, fixed white light was displayed from sunset to sunrise. Today, the fully automated first order Fresnel lens runs on commercial power, flashing its unique pattern of two seconds on, two seconds off, two seconds on, 14 seconds off, 24 hours a day. The oil burning wicks were replaced with a 1,000-watt globe which, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, keepers of the aid to navigation, generates over 130,000 candlepower.

While the nightly vigil of watching the light is gone, as are the resident keepers and their quarters, the Bureau of Land Management, who is now responsible for the tower, guides visitors through the lighthouse with tales of yesteryear, year round.

The interpretive center, which opened at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area in May 1997, is the best place to start your visit to this 100 acre site. It features exhibits related to many features of the area, along with a well-stocked interpretive store. Proceeds from store sales directly benefit Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses, and are used for lighthouse restoration, education, interpretation and maintenance. Yaquina Head offers much more than the lighthouse: Trails provide easy access to view marine wildlife in tide pools, rookery rocks, and coves.

The Lighthouse is open to the public every day except for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

For more information on either lighthouse, go to www.yaquinalights.org.

Tourism Oregon Coast Aquarium

Things to Do and See in Newport

Sea Lions, Sharks, and Otters Await Your Visit

Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center:

No visit to Newport is complete without a stop at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. This worldclass marine attraction overlooks scenic Yaquina Bay just south of the Yaquina Bay Bridge.

The Aquarium strives to be a center of excellence for ocean literacy and plays an active role in conservation, education and animal rehabilitation efforts. As one of Oregon’s most popular attractions, the Aquarium hosts an estimated 450,000 visitors annually. The 501(c)3 nonprofit is funded through ticket sales, grants, and the support of Aquarium members. The 39-acre facility features indoor and outdoor exhibits that repeatedly earned the Aquarium a ranking as one of the top ten aquariums in the nation.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the Aquarium with a wander through a range of permanent exhibits and one rotating temporary exhibit. Passages of the Deep, named “The coolest 50 yards on the Oregon Coast!” by Spirit Magazine, is a 1.32 million-gallon exhibit displaying a diverse array of marine animals including sharks up to 10 feet long. The series of tunnels feature a 360 degree view of three different kinds of underwater landscapes characteristic of our ocean off the Oregon Coast.

The current rotating exhibit is The Sea & Me, an interactive exhibit designed for children ages 4-10. Kids will enjoy the half a dozen interactive play areas while teens and adults will see seahorses, cichlids, and a wide array of colorful tropical fish.

The Aquarium also boasts one of the largest outdoor seabird aviaries in the United States. Tufted puffins, common murres, rhinoceros auklets, pigeon guillemots and black oystercatchers all call the craggy cliffs and clear ponds home. Daily feedings delight visitors of all ages as each bird larks about to get the fishes of their choice. In addition to the seabird aviary, the Aquarium houses two turkey vultures. Guests are often surprised by the size of the brother and sister pair, Ichabod and Olive, who busy themselves with toys and other enrichment items.

A nearby underwater cave is inhabited by a Giant Pacific Octopus. Viewers sometimes need to stretch their powers of observation to spot the creature, which can camouflage itself and squeeze its soft body into dark crags. Guests can book an octopus encounter to feed and shake hands with one of these intelligent, seemingly alien animals.

The Aquarium’s sea otter exhibit is home to the largest population of sea otters in Oregon today. The all-male raft is comprised of rescued otters from the California and Alaska coasts.

Judge, Mojo and Schuster’s playful antics make them a popular attraction at the Aquarium.

The Aquarium is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer travel season and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter months. To check for discounts, purchase tickets and learn more, visit www.aquarium.org.

A new home for local history opens to great acclaim

56- www.newportchamber.org

It is fitting that a building housing a history museum should have a colorful history itself. Such is the case for the newly-opened Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center on the Bayfront in Newport. The stately green-grey building overlooking the fishing fleet has been a private estate, a nightclub, a restaurant, a decidedly unofficial hangout for local teens, and even the home of an off-track betting facility and Chippendale’s dancers.

When the Lincoln County Historical Society acquired the old Smuggler’s Cove nightclub, the property was, in a word, a mess. Luckily for locals and visitors alike, the Historical Society made the risky decision to forge ahead and fix it up. After more than eight years of slow fund-raising and countless hours of volunteer time to keep the restoration going through the recession, the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center opened in June 2013.

It is stunningly gorgeous inside, open and light, a fitting home in which to house and explore Lincoln County’s maritime history.

Many of the artifacts currently on display were donated by the local community. The result is a somewhat eclectic but beautifully curated and displayed set of items that span Lincoln County’s fishing, surfing, shipping, and tourism heritage. Every item on display comes with a fascinating story.

Fluttering above one gallery is a series of colorful Japanese fishing flags, called “tairyouki,” that are traditionally flown by the Japanese fleet to express wishes for safety and a bountiful harvest. The flags were a gift from fishermen and a fishing company in Mombetsu, Japan, Newport’s sister city. Below the flags is a guide to their symbolism.

The museum will host traveling exhibits as well. For example, in fall 2013 the museum installed an exhibit about a unique partnership between West Coast and Soviet fishermen during the Cold War, and the role that Newport boats and fishermen played in that program.

One of the best treasures of the center is the view from its enormous bay windows and outdoor deck. Visitors will be mesmerized by the expansive vista encompassing the bustling Bayfront, the fishing fleet, and the bridge.

At each vantage point, historical photos of similar views are displayed so visitors can see how that particular view has changed.

The building is much bigger than it appears from the street, with nooks and crannies and sections that seem to go on forever. Current exhibits are limited to the central floor of the three-story building, but the Historical Society won’t stop there. The next step will be installation of a theater and event and conference center on the lower level of the building. As resources come in, they will add more gallery space downstairs and upstairs.

And so the history of the building continues to be made, one artifact at a time.

HMSC is a facility of Oregon State University, but its campus is home to scientists from a wide variety of institutions, including OSU, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and others. All told, approximately 300 scientists, educators, and support staff work at the center, conducting research, outreach, and education programs focused on our watery world.

The topics studied there are as diverse as the inhabitants of the sea themselves: salmon genetics, the environmental impacts of wave energy, whale migration patterns, eruptions at undersea volcanoes, effects of ocean acidification on fish, and much more.

Some of the most high-profile, cutting edge marine science in the world is carried out at Hatfield and by Hatfield-associated researchers. When an enormous dock ripped from its moorings by the March 2011 Japanese tsunami landed on a Newport beach in June 2012, Hatfield scientists Jessica Miller and John Chapman were the ones who took the lead on examining the potentially invasive species on the dock. A piece of that dock now stands as a sentinel and reminder outside the front door of the Visitor Center. Marine Mammal Institute Associate Director Scott Baker has made headlines with his genetics work demonstrating that endangered whale meat was being served in sushi restaurants in Seoul and Los Angeles. His pioneering work was featured in the eco-thriller/ documentary “The Cove,” released to great acclaim in 2009.

The best way to learn about what goes on at HMSC is by checking out the Visitor Center, where most of the exhibits are related to HMSC faculty research. One particularly hot topic is wave energy – how to extract it and what the environmental impacts of wave energy devices in the ocean might be. The wave energy exhibit at the Visitor Center covers these topics with hands-on activities. Another exhibit covers the threat of invasive species, a very real problem for the local coastal ecosystems.

The VC also features touch tanks where visitors can be embraced by a sea anemone or stroke a tide pool fish. And of course, there’s the octopus, the mascot of the center that greets visitors as they enter. Check the schedule for her feeding times – it’s quite a show.

HMSC doesn’t like to let any data escape, and so even the Visitor Center is a laboratory. Here a team of researchers focused on “free-choice learning,” education that takes place outside of a formal classroom setting and under the student’s own initiative, studies the behaviors and interactions of visitors with the exhibits and with each other. Cameras and other hightech equipment installed throughout the center aid in those studies, and a cadre of researchers works behind the scenes to learn how we learn.

The Visitor Center (2030 SE Marine Science Drive) is open 10 am to 5 pm seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Admission is by donation ($5 per person/$20 per family is suggested). For more information, go to hmsc.oregonstate.edu.
