Nestucca Fire to address levy at March 27 open house By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District will hold an open house on Wednesday, March 27, 7 p.m., at district’s fire station in Hebo to present information on a $4.007 operating levy that would, if voters approve it on May 21, 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 district’s facilities and equipment. Nestucca Fire Chief Jim Oeder told the Sun that in addition to presenting the facts and figures of the proposed five-year levy, staff will field any questions that the community may have regarding the need for the funding and how the monies would be applied. Oeder, Deputy Chief Mickey Hays, and Battalion Chief of Training Brian Jones are expected to be on hand during the open house. As well, Oeder said that he would support the formation of a political action committee that could spearhead the marketing effort for the bond. A PAC is desired because, due to election regulations, staff can share factual information about the proposal, but, beyond that, are limited on how much they can say regarding the proposal. If approved, the levy would cost taxpayers a rate not to exceed $0.66 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value within

A Need to Do Whatever it Takes By DAVID YAMAMOTO Tillamook County Commissioner This is the most difficult discussion I have ever had to conduct. I never, ever, would have thought that this topic would need to be breached here in Tillamook County. I am concerned about the reaction of Tillamook County residents to this discussion, but I am determined to be a part of the solution…and I hope you will all do the same. The issue is labeled CSEC, Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. Our Juvenile Dept. Director, Star Felty, came to me a few months ago and told me she had been contacted by multiple community partners about this problem. I told her it was not possible this was happening here. Star went on to explain the problem like this…we have a population of at-risk youth, including those who are homeless and from unstable homes in Tillamook County and many of these kids couch surf. They are looking to get basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and money. There is also a small adult population that is ready to take advantage of these vulnerable children. I was stunned. I started my inquiry by talking to many people here in Tillamook County… Sheriff’s Office, Police Chiefs, District Attorney, Circuit Court, School District Administrators, Health Department, Adventist Health, Tillamook Family Counseling, Women’s Resource Center and many others. I quickly concluded that we have a problem, and the only tools we currently have to confront this problem is with law enforcement and the courts. I feel that while these are important tools, they should not be the only or even primary methods of addressing this problem. Tillamook County needs additional resources such as services and programs to help our children. Another big gap for Tillamook County is the lack of youth-specific nonprofits. Often, we are asking these kids to cooperate with law enforcement or the courts without having anything to offer in terms of programs or services in return. I then switched my focus to other Oregon Counties and had many conversations with Commissioners from across the State. When I was talking to other small, rural counties, their initial reaction, like my own, was one of denial. As I explained the CSEC issue of at-risk and homeless youth couch surfing, I could see the wheels turning in their heads and many of them have responded to me
expressing dismay at what they too were finding. All were interested in seeking solutions. My conversations with larger counties were different. Most have established services and programs and they are addressing the problem as best they can. They have limited but critical support from the State…something not being offered to small, rural counties due to staffing and budgetary constraints. This rural/urban divide does not sit well with me. Let me briefly describe the issues I see. First and foremost, we must remember we are dealing with children’s lives and this is clearly child abuse. It is equally important Photo by Tim Hirsch to understand that these children TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMISSIONER are victims, but many don’t even David Yamamoto. self-identify as victims of sexual abuse.

To gain further insight into what was Ling and Rock Cod occurring in Tillamook County, I called a (subject to availability) meeting in late January and was thrilled with the turnout of 35 local people key to finding solutions for Tillamook County, including State agencies such as Department of Justice and Department of Hu-
Fresh & Local!
DOJ offers free training classes to law enforcement, schools, health care providers and other organizations to assist in early identification of these kids. Early intervention is key to helping break this cycle for our children. This initial training has already been scheduled for Tillamook County. Ms. Swanson also identified grant opportunities for funding a task force coordinator and potential secondary grant funding for an advocate to work directly with the kids. We are now in the process of putting together a Tillamook County Task Force to coordinate grant funding opportunities and provide direction as we move forward with coordinating a response to this problem. This is a heart-wrenching discussion to have in Tillamook County, but we must not look the other way. Understand that our community is far from unique in Oregon or anywhere in the United States or the World. There are many places where this discussion is simply not occurring because of the difficulty of this topic. I also want you to know that I just completed a session of Van Moe’s “Let’s Talk” program where one of the topics I discussed was this issue of CSEC I am told that this episode will be live on janescottvideoproductions.com as this editorial piece is being published. I want to thank all of those in attendance at our January meeting for having the courage to be there and openly discuss these difficult issues in Tillamook County. I feel strongly that we are on the path towards finding the solutions we need.

regon residents eager to do a little spring cleaning will get their chance to help beautify their state when SOLVE hosts its annual Spring Beach Cleanup, Saturday, March 23. Volunteers can sign up now for one of 45 locations on the coast — including four spots in South Tillamook County. During the clean-up effort, which will run from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Oregonians will mobilize along the entire Oregon coast to remove tens of thousands of pounds of litter and marine debris washed in from winter storms. SOLVE’s annual Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup, presented by AAA Oregon, happens to come right as Oregon Governor Kate Brown has declared March “SOLVE Month.” As SOLVE reaches its 50-year anniversary, the organization says that Governor Brown’s declaration serves as acknowledgement of the hard work of hundreds of thousands of volunteers over the years that have removed tons of litter, marine debris, and invasive species from Oregon’s special places. “This Saturday, thousands of volunteers from across the state will come together to clean up our beaches, and that is truly inspiring,” says SOLVE CEO Kris Carico. “We are grateful to each and every one of them.” Last year, more than 3,000 SOLVE volunteers removed in excess of 15,000 pounds of trash from Oregon’s beaches. Volunteers found everything from microplastics to golf clubs at they combed through coastal sites such as Yaquina Bay, Agate Beach, and Netarts Bay. The SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup welcomes families, schools, business groups, and volunteers of all ages to join together in cleaning Oregon’s beaches. The cleanup is one of two of SOLVE’s annual beach cleanups. Every spring and fall, volunteers from across Oregon head to the beach as part of SOLVE’s twice-annual coastwide cleanups. According to SOLVE, the home-grown tradition has benefited both people and wildlife alike, supporting clean seas and healthy communities. To take part, participants can register at one of 45 beach cleanup sites from Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria to Harris Beach in Brookings. Within South Tillamook County, there are are four locations to congregate – in

Pacific City (meet next to the Pelican Pub & Brewery), at Sand Lake (meets at the Sand Lake OHV Riding Area), and in the Neskowin area (one spot meeting at the Neskowin Trading Company and the other at the Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside.) For more information and to see a list of cleanup sites, visit solveoregon.org or call 503-844-9571, ext. 332. Since 1984, more than 260,000 volunteers have removed 3.6 million pounds of debris from Oregon’s beaches in this effort. This debris comes in many forms — from the single bottle cap littered on the beach to a thousand-pound commercial fishing net. A recent study published in the journal Science indicates that about 8 million metric tons of plastic are entering the ocean globally each year, the equivalent of five bags of trash for every foot of coastline in the world. With this number on the rise, the impacts on the ocean and coastlines are reportedly high: “Thousands of pounds of marine debris both from Oregon and across the Pacific basin wash ashore on our iconic beaches each year, threatening the health of our wildlife and coastal communities,” said Jon Schmidt, program coordinator for SOLVE. “While this is a worldwide problem, local citizens have the power to make a difference here on our own beaches.” Participants are advised to wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. All cleanup supplies will be provided. Volunteers who would like to help make the event more sustainable are encouraged to bring their own reusable bucket and work gloves. The most common items found during this event are broken pieces of plastic and cigarette butts, which are harmful to local wildlife. It would also helpful to bring an old colander to sift the tide lines for these tiny pieces. SOLVE is a statewide non-profit organization that brings Oregonians together to improve the environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Since 1969, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers of all ages across Oregon to clean and restore the state’s neighborhoods and natural areas, with the goal of building a legacy of stewardship for Oregon.

PCJWSA plans remodel of its office building The offices at Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority will soon have a face-lift thanks to a planned remodel of its approximately 1,500 square feet of office and meeting space. PCJWSA’s Board of Directors approved the lowest bid received at its meeting on March 5 — $32,170 — submitted by Pacific City Homes. The remodel was deemed necessary not only to replace carpet that is approximately 20 years old but also to rearrange the office so that it is more productive for workers. Amongst the changes slated for the remodel, which Pacific City Homes owner Dave Baxter said would take about three weeks, is a reconfiguration of the front space — work that will include shortening a little used customer counter to make way for an additional work space for employees. As well, Authority Manager Tony Owen’s office door will be moved to allow for placing filing cabinets and so that the entry into his office is more private. The project will be paid for by funds in PCJWSA’s capital improvement fund, which is part of the Authority’s annual budget.

inbrief Solid Waste Dept. welcomes new ‘Master Recyclers’ Tillamook County now has three more residents able to share their recycling know how as a trio of students completed the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department’s Master Recyclers program on March 1. Traci Bean, Glenda Morris and Elinor Shanklin have now been accepted into the growing volunteer program. “There has been a lot of changes and growth since our first class in 2014,” says Sue Owens, coordinator for the Tillamook County Master Recycler Program. “I am so thrilled and proud to be a part of it and to get to work with all of these fantastic people. There is a real bond forming between the members.” During the 20-hour course, students learn to minimize the impacts of materials and learn strategies that build on the program’s mission statement of “educating our community on the environmental impacts of our daily decisions and to encourage people to rethink, repair, repurpose, and then recycle.” The class offers generalities of environmental stewardship, but, in reality, puts more attention on local aspects. This is emphasized with field trips to local sites of interest including the County’s three transfer stations, and City Sanitary Service. “There is a great deal of differences and similarities between these locations,” says Owens. “People are always surprised when they can be compared side-by-side this way.” “This program has become a real asset to our department,” added David McCall, manager of the Solid Waste Program. “The number of volunteers is growing, and the difference they are making in the community is being noticed. There are things happening now that wouldn’t be if they weren’t involved.” The Master Recycler course is free to Tillamook County residents, and, in exchange, asks for a 30-hour volunteer commitment to the Solid Waste Department and the message of recycling. Currently there are no more classes scheduled, however, Owens states there are good chances there will be one in late 2019. For more information on the Master Recycler program, visit co.tillamook.or.us/gov/SolidWaste/ MasterRecycler.htm or contact Owens at 503-815-3975.

Bravo for the Bronze
Pelican’s Mother of All Storms honored with Oregon Beer Awards ‘barrel-aged’ bronze medal
P
elican Brewing Company earned another Bronze medal for its Mother of All Storms Englishstyle Bourbon Barrel-aged Barleywine Feb. 26 at the Oregon Beer Awards. Mother, an 11-time medal winner — including five gold medals at the Australian International Beer Awards — was awarded a bronze in the barrel-aged category at the fifth annual Oregon Beer Awards competition held in Portland in Revolution Hall. First crafted by Pelican Brewing in 2009, Mother soon became a highlycoveted collectable and has been named one of the Top 100 Beers in the World and Top 25 Barrel-Aged Beers numerous times. The Oregon Beer Awards select and celebrate the state’s top beers in 25 categories, and honor Oregon’s exceptional breweries, bars and festivals in seven additional categories. It is the only statewide double-blind beer tasting competition in Oregon. There are many storms out there, all of them perfect in their own way. But, say Pelican officials, there is only one Mother of all Storms and it only happens on the Oregon coast. Based on Stormwatcher’s Winterfest, the brewery’s English-style barleywine, Mother of all Storms spends a year aging in Kentucky bourbon barrels. Mother delivers what Pelican describes as deep flavors of toasted malt, bourbon and oak. The finish features whispers of vanilla, toffee and caramel. Ingredients include pale malt, malted white wheat, Midnight Wheat malt, Black Prinz malt, pure cane sugar, Magnum hops, Willamette hops, and pure ale yeast. For a comprehensive review of all award-winning Pelican beer offerings, visit pelicanbrewing.com/beer/. Pelican Brewing Company was founded in 1996 by Jeff Schons and Mary Jones in Pacific City with Oregon’s only oceanfront brewpub. Celebrating its 21st year, the brewing company has created award-winning beers like Kiwanda Cream Ale, India Pelican Ale, MacPelican’s Scottish Ale, Tsunami Stout and Doryman’s Dark. Led by

Wyden welcomes signing of bipartisan Public Lands Bill into law U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said March 12’s signing into law of bipartisan public lands legislation takes several major and permanent steps forward to protect Oregon’s natural treasures for future generations to enjoy. “Conserving our state’s iconic Devil’s Staircase, adding hundreds of miles of wild-and-scenic rivers, increasing wildfire protections and more totals up to a big win for Oregon’s recreation economy,” Wyden said after the White House signing ceremony. “This is the largest public lands package passed by Congress in a decade and I look forward to building on its gains for every corner of our state.” Wyden has 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. Oregon has the most wild-andscenic river designations in the contiguous United States.
The bipartisan public lands bill includes provisions of Wyden and Sen. Jeff 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 salmon- and steelheadproducing rivers and streams as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, including: 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.

Driftwood once served as a source of building materials By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun
T
steading Chamberlain Family built a barn and home from the lumber. The anchor from the Struan is still at the Boy Scout camp today. During 2011, the Japanese tsunami brought large amounts of interesting wooden pieces across the Pacific onto Oregon’s beaches, including whole small boats and signs with Japanese lettering. During high tides and winds in the winter, you can witness whole trees with their root ball intact floating down the swollen Nestucca headed for the Pacific Ocean. Some get marooned along the river banks waiting for another high tide to continue their journey. This winter, there have been several 20-foot trees on
he Oregon coast has more than 350 miles of coastline, and most of it is flat with sandy beaches. Driftwood is wood that has been washed ashore after high winds and high tides bring it onto the beach. Beachcombers love to get down to the beach early after a storm and see what treasures have been added to the beach. Glass balls use to be the unique find, but they are few and far between now. Interesting pieces of driftwood are what people drag home instead. I think most of us have noticed the scarcity in the amount of driftwood that used to land on the beach from the 1950s through the 80s. Some of the reasons there are so little may be that there is far less logging along the cliffs and rivers and ocean-going barges carrying rafts of logs are less likely to break loose. It seems we have fewer west winds in the winter, too. The few logs that are on the beach now provide wind protection for beachgoers and a place for a beach fire. But, long ago, driftwood was a vital source of firewood for wood stoves. Pioneers and early residents hauled large log to mills to be made into boards for houses, barns, and Photo courtesy of Don Grotjohn fences.
