NVSD to host blood drive on Feb. 21 The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on Thursday, Feb. 21, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, 34660 Parkway Dr., Cloverdale. Those wishing to schedule a time for blood donations can call 503392-3194, ext. 120 to set up an appointment. For information, call the district office at 503-392-3194, ext. 102. The Red Cross is saying that donations are as critical as ever — especially in the wake of January’s government shutdown and recent storms. In January, more than 4,600 Red Cross blood and platelet donations went uncollected as blood drives were forced to cancel due to severe winter weather blanketing parts of the U.S. “Disruptions to blood and platelet donations jeopardize the availability of blood for patients who depend on transfusions for survival,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “We’re grateful for all those who have come out to give since we issued our emergency call (in early January) and now urge others to come out and give to prevent delays in essential medical care.”

Public critical of cable landing proposal in Tierra Del Mar By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Tierra Del Mar residents and concerned citizens voiced their opinions on a proposed fiber optic cable landing in its coastal community during a Feb. 12 public hearing designed to solicit opinion on two Oregon Parks & Recreation Department ocean shore permit applications submitted by Edge Cable Holdings LLC to use a horizontal directional drill to construct the new infrastructure. Reportedly, Edge Cable Holdings is one of six purchasers of lot 3200 in Tierra Del Mar where drilling operations would be conducted if the project earns approval from OPRD and Tillamook County. Though representatives of project leads SubCom, which is the prime contractor for the proposal, and 48 North Solutions declined to confirm, many public comments referenced Facebook’s partial ownership role in the project, which is part of the JUPITER Cable System — a system that includes connections in Japan, the US, and the Philippines. Presenters billed the horizontal directional drill installation technique to install the cable as a tried-and-true method that limits the effect on the environment. They said that the HDD effort would not alter the natural features or shoreline vegetation nor impact beach-goers as it will be entirely underground. But that doesn’t mean that the actual installation won’t have some impact. And that’s where Tierra Del Mar residents shared their reservations. And while the project leads said that, once complete, residents wouldn’t know it’s there, they also acknowledged that the actual construction does include nuisance factors. “We looked at several of the beaches and how the cable would interact with the surrounding environment,” said Cameron Fisher, environmental consultant for 48 North. “It was determined that the cable would maintain the natural features because it’s going (under) the beach area. (We’re) going to avoid impacting on the beach or impacting in the estuarine area. (We’re) going to avoid any of the shoreline vegetation. It’s buried so the view shed is going to be maintained. There’s not going to be any impacts. You’re not going to see this cable.” The targeted start date for the project, which includes drilling new
bores — one of which a cable will be laid in — is April 2019. Initial mobilization and staging is expected to take 20 days, the drilling of the first bore 15 days, a period of equipment re-arrangement another eight days, the drilling of the second bore another 15 days and ancillary work and site restoration a final 20 days. SubCom manager of permitting and fisheries Sydney Sheridan asserted that mobilization, staging and site restoration would create minimal noise, but that the actual drilling process produces approximately 89 decibels at the source, which would lessen to 68 decibels at a distance of 20 feet. She likened that noise level to that of a domestic vacuum cleaner. There are also plans to erect sound barriers to lessen the noise during drilling operations. Common themes in the testimony voiced during the Feb. 12 public hearing revolved around the noise created by the HDD construction, as well as the vibration and its possible unintended consequences. Candace Churchley, a Tierra Del Mar resident who has lived in the community for 17 years along with her husband David, said that much of her concern revolved around the possible damage to the infrastructure of the residential community. “We have many questions and concerns about the drilling,” she said. “Everyone in Tierra Del Mar is on a septic system. Will the vibration impact or crack the concrete tanks? If it does, then the sewage would then leak out into the groundwater and possibly the beach. It might not be noticed for days, weeks or months. How safe would that be for the public and for the wildlife?” She also voiced concern about potential damage to propane tanks as well as the construction noise level. “I can’t imagine sitting on the beach in TDM — and it’s popular in the summer — when the drilling would be going on and listening to that noise,” Churchley said, who was also concerned about increased traffic and the staging plan. She asserted that even if vehicles are all parked on the lot, there will still be increased traffic on Sand Lake Road, which residents rely on as their main thoroughfare as well as their escape route should a tsunami strike. Another common refrain by Churchley and others was the threat to public safety. While the presenters said that all construction equipment would be contained on the lot purchased for
the project, in public testimony concerned citizens wondered if that was the whole story. “You may not be parking on the road, but you’re still going to have traffic,” she said. “You’re still going to have the water trucks. You’re still going to have hopefully removed the sludge from the drilling process. That all takes vehicles — large trucks coming back and forth.” “Together with our co-owners, we are strongly opposed to this project and recommend the permit be denied,” added Tierra Del Mar resident Don Olson, who said to his knowledge, appropriate environmental studies such as a traffic study, a noise hazard study, a structural engineering study of neighboring homes, or an equipment staging plan had not been done. And referencing the project’s efforts to reach out to fishery concerns, Mary Voboril, who lives four blocks from the construction site, said that was a good thing but wondered where a similar effort was when it comes to resident concerns. “I think it’s great the fisheries are being protected, but we need protection, too,” she said. “I’m asking OPRD to please delay consideration of these permits until some fair studies are done that will determine how we will be affected.” Jay Sennewald, OPRD’s ocean shores coordinator of the coastal region, said that written comment will be open for seven days from the date of the hearing, meaning any further comments must be received by Tuesday, Feb. 19. Sennewald can be contacted at jay.sennewald@oregon.gov. The OPRD permit process focuses on effects to the ocean shore — the land line between the extreme low tide of the ocean and the statuary (or actual if erosion is present) vegetation line. Under Oregon administrative rules, OPRD reviews ocean shore permit applications based on project need, protection of public rights, public cost, available alternatives, compliance with Oregon Department of Land Conservaton and Development Commission goals and rules and local comprehensive plans, scenic concerns, recreational use, beach safety, and other resource considerations. The project will also have to go under a separate Tillamook County approval process, which will address land-use issues through its conditionaluse process.
Nestucca Fire’s Board of Directors approves language for 5-year levy proposal The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors unanimously approved inital language for the district’s proposed $4.007 million levy during its monthly meeting on Feb. 13. Fire Chief Jim Oeder says the increase in the amount — the previous estimate was $3.84 million — came at the recommendation of financial advisors from Special Districts of Oregon. As previously reported in the Sun, the NRPD is seeking a five-year levy to fund an additional six firefighters as well as pay for the services of three firefighters already on staff. The district is seeking a levy to pay for all nine so that money that was taken out of the maintenance budget to fund those three existing positions can again be used to maintain and update the dis-
trict’s facilities and equipment. The proposed language will ask voters “Should Nestucca RFPD issue a local operating levy for fire and emergency services for five years beginning 2019-2020? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than 3 percent.” The summary language approved by the board reads: “The measure, if approved, would authorize the District to levy taxes to support the annual cost of fire and emergency medical services including an additional six new employees. The measure would provide for a local option operation levy at a rate not to exceed $0.66 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value within the district for five years, beginning July 1, 2019. Revenue from the levy would be used to maintain adequate
Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • February 15, 2019
staffing with the goal of assuring adequate response times.” The language also includes an estimatation for each year. Those numbers are for each fiscal year starting with 2019-20 and ending with 202324 are $754,864, $777,510, $800,836, $824,861, and $849,607, for a total of $4,007,678. The district is required to file the ballot title with the county by the first week of March, who will then open up the proposed language for public comment for seven days. The final verbiage, which Oeder says will better explain the funding plan for the full nine firefighters, together with the accompanied return of funds to maintenance operations, is due later in March for the proposal to be put on the May ballot.

Rare snow blankets Pacific City
Patricia Mobley Patricia Cora Mobley, of Neskowin, passed away on Feb. 10 at the age of 80. Pat was born in Winnemucca, Nevada on Nov. 6, 1938, to Richard and Cora Flaiz and was the oldest of four children. Her family moved to the John Day area in 1944 where she went to school and graduated from Long Creek High School in 1956. The family then moved to Kinzua in 1958. Pat graduated from business college and worked for a lumber company in Portland for two years. She came home for the Spray Rodeo and met the love of her life, calf roper Verne Mobley. A year later, Pat and Verne were married in Kinzua, Oregon on May 27, 1961. Son Mark was born in 1962, and Ron was born in 1964. Pat was the bass player and lead vocalist for the Sundowners band that included Verne, Mark, Ron and Don Mobley. Pat helped teach at the Kent Grade School, she organized a women’s bowling team in Madras, and then took a job as Postmaster in Shaniko, where she worked for 12 years. After retiring from their ranch in Kent, Oregon, Pat and Verne did some traveling around in an RV. They fell in love with the Oregon Coast and built a home in Cloverdale in 2007, where they lived for 10 years before buying an oceanview home in Neskowin, where they have resided for the past three years.

SOUTH COUNTY residents woke up the morning of Feb. 4 to a winter wonderland. Up to two inches of snow had fallen during the night, covering everything with a fluffy white snow blanket. After an initial twohour delay announcement, Nestucca Valley School District cancelled classes for the day. Some families opted to use the time to check out the rare sight of snow on the beach (above). Temperatures warmed up as the day went on, and much of the snow had disappeared by evening, though temperatures continued to drop below freezing for the next couple of nights.

Wyden, Merkley welcome Senate Passage of Public Lands Legislation Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley welcomed the Senate’s Feb. 12 passage of a bipartisan package of public lands legislation securing critical measures they achieved for Oregon, including improved flexibility for hazardous fuels reduction efforts and protections for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers in the state. “Managing our public lands is a matter of public safety, our local recreation economies and the health of the water we as Oregonians drink and air we breathe,” said Wyden, a senior member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “This package represents the most comprehensive conservation effort for Oregon by Congress in a decade, while also protecting the safety of rural Oregonians from the threat of wildfires. The House should move quickly to ensure these protections are signed into law.” “The value of Oregon’s breathtaking landscapes is immeasurable — not only fueling a robust outdoor recreation economy, but also defining who we are as Or-
egonians,” Merkley said. “It is our responsibility to protect these lands from degradation, increasingly intense wildfires, and other impacts so our greatest resource is available to future generations.” When the public lands legislation becomes law, Wyden will have championed the designation of 1,986 miles of Wild and Scenic rivers in Oregon — more than any other member of Congress, overall, for the contiguous 48 states. The bipartisan public lands package includes provisions of Wyden and Merkley’s Oregon Wildlands Act that will: create the Devil’s Staircase Wilderness by designating roughly 30,000 acres of remote lands in the Oregon Coast Range; permanently protect the Chetco River — a critical source of drinking water and habitat for endangered salmon in southwest Oregon —from mining and mineral extraction; designate 250 miles of prime Oregon salmonand steelhead-producing rivers and streams as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, including:
REAL ESTATE 503-965-6255
about 120 miles of Rogue River tributaries; a 21-mile stretch of the Molalla River; 18 miles of Jenny Creek, which flows through the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument; 21 miles of Wasson Creek and Franklin Creek in the Siuslaw National Forest; and several important tributaries of the Elk River; and protect an additional 40 miles of Rogue River tributaries from mining and future dam installations. The legislation now goes to the House. “Oregon is the Wild and Scenic Rivers state and I’m exceptionally proud that we’re adding more watersheds and more miles of National Wild and Scenic Rivers,” said Zach Collier, owner of Northwest Rafting Company. “The Chetco and Elk Rivers are particularly important to me and I’m happy to see increased protection to these exceptional watersheds. I want to thank Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley for their leadership in passing this through the Senate, and I urge the House to swiftly move to pass this public lands package now.”

Building a Suicide Safer Community “Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope.” These words of Dr. Martin Luther King were fitting during MLK weekend, Jan 18-19, as 17 individuals completed a two-day course with one thing in mind — creating a suicide safer community in Tillamook County. In a partnership with Tillamook Veterans Services and Columbia Pacific CCO, SOS Tillamook Prevention hosted a free training, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training. The model teaches effective intervention skills while building suicide prevention networks in the community. A suicide safer community is one that has demonstrated a commitment to suicide prevention, promoting wellness and mental health, an ability to talk openly and freely about suicide and support to those impacted by suicide. A community that believes by saving one life at a time it contributes to fewer suicides in the community as a whole; and when a community, including youth, take responsibility for helping with the issue creates a suicide safer community. Suicide is now being deemed a community health crisis. The stigma surrounding suicide reduces the range and number of people who could help and prevent suicide. “We are all at risk of having thoughts of suicide at one time in our lives,” says Brianne Mares, master trainer for ASIST. “The difference is how we engage with people with those thoughts.” “We educate people to know that sometimes we don’t have the capac-
ity to help those close to us,” adds DeAnna Pearl, also a master trainer for ASIST. “What you can do, is find someone that can, and that is just as important.” On Saturday of the MLK holiday weekend, the participants filled out a final feedback form, and the comments summed up the two-day training. “…I feel incredibly prepared to recognize and be able to help someone with thoughts of suicide,” said one participant. And another added: “[I] feel so much more hopeful about my ability to make a difference!” There are many types of training available. One option is a two-hour training titled “QPR – Question, Persuade, Refer.” SOS Tillamook, the Prevention Program through Tillamook Family Counseling Center, provides Support to Overcome and Strengthen Tillamook County. SOS Tillamook Prevention Program says its offerings support a safe and healthy community with outreach and education that helps grow connections through positive learning and experiences. It also sponsors a wide variety of events and speakers on topics such as community engagement, parenting support, mental health, addiction and recovery, suicide prevention, self-care vs. self-harm, brain development, emotional literacy and more. For more information about upcoming trainings and community conversations, visit sostillamook.org or contact DeAnna Pearl at 503-842-8102, ext. 270 or DeAnnaP@tfcc.org.

Celebrating the ‘Bounty on the Bay’ Event fetes Tillamook Bay’s 25 years as a ‘Bay of National Significance’ Twenty-five years ago, Tillamook Bay was designated as a “Bay of National Significance” by the Environmental Protection Agency, a designation that secured Tillamook Bay’s spot in the National Estuaries Program, which works to protect and restore the water quality and ecological integrity of 28 estuaries located along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coasts and Puerto Rico.

We are fortunate to have so many predatory birds that inhabit this little dent on the Oregon coast we call Pacific City. Here is a brief summary of a few observations recently made this winter by a casual birder. Casual meaning I carry no pocket guide, notebook, camera, phone, spotting scope, or binoculars. In other words, the birds I mention here are some of the easiest to identify, compared to others. And yes, the osprey, great blue heron, and eagle are showy and get their pictures taken a lot, but it’s the lesser seen winged predators, the ones that fly under the radar that catch my eye. One of my favorite winged assailants is the belted kingfisher. It’s easily identified by the distinctive slate-blue head with its punk-rock haircut, and long, heavy bill, complemented by a white collar and distinguished large blue ribbon across its chest. But you’ll more often hear them before you’ll see them. I don’t know how many times a kingfisher has made me jump — especially when I’m peacefully cruising along in my kayak. Then you hear it go off — the obnoxiously loud crackling chatter that seems to come out of nowhere, even though it was perched within spitting distance of you, and sounds (and sometimes feels) like a scolding to the degree that, after I’ve jumped out of my skin, I find myself offering an apology for trespassing. And, of course, when it flies off, it lands on a perch 50 feet away in the same direction I am going, so the scoldings and apologies continue. And since kingfishers can live to up 14 years, it’s going to be a testy long-term relationship. A for sure place to find them is to kayak up either of the two man-made canals on the south side of town. The overhanging spruce and alders give these aerial agitators plenty of optimal perches. Another good place is the new Sitka Sedge State Natural Area. You can find them dashing back and forth along the trees that line the dike. A few evenings ago, I witnessed two of my very favorites, both within seconds of each other. These two, unlike the kingfisher, are the silent type, which I sometimes prefer. It was just before daylight submitted to the waves, when a Northern harrier, also called a marsh hawk, flew by me, just three feet off the ground and four feet away.

THE BELTED KINGFISHER boasts colorful plumage, a shaggy crest, and a loud cracking call. Silent and unsuspecting, it landed in a protected grove of shorepines a few yards from us and stayed. My dog didn’t even have time to formulate a bark, (and he’s a Pomeranian!), nor I a gasp; we were completely flabbergasted. It must be the same harrier that I see flying over open grassy areas along the river in the daytime, acrobatically maneuvering like a fighter jet but with exceptionally deadly landing gear. Never in my life have I felt more sympathy for a field mouse, snake or frog. The reason they fly low over the ground is because, unlike other hawks, they rely mainly on their sense of hearing to capture prey, which also explains their owlish, disc-shaped face. A good field mark for the harrier is the white rump patch, long tail, and dark grey to brown plumage; and they fly so close to the ground, when you see one coming, it makes you want to duck. Just as we were catching our breaths, this huge, powerful owl careens around a house right in front of us and heads across an empty lot, then disappears over the grassy foredunes. And in its wake, we again stood in awe, speechless and barkless. It flew close enough that I caught sight of the distinctive ear tufts that is a signature characteristic of the great horned owl, besides its huge size and broad roundtipped wings. Oregon has 14 species of owls, five of which are Oregon Conservation Strategy Species in need of conservation support, the great horned is one of them. A good place to see both harriers, great horned and other owls is Bob Straub State Park.
