Nestucca Fire fields questions on levy at March 27 open house By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District fielded questions regarding its upcoming $4.007 operating levy during a March 27 open house held at the district’s fire hall in Hebo. The levy, if voters approve it on May 21, would 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. Community concerns about the proposal ranged from the challenge for those on a fixed income to meet the increase to whether there were appropriate funding alternatives. Nestucca Fire Chief Jim Oeder said that the district had looked at a variety of options, none of which were ultimately judged as reasonable alternatives. He did mention the possibility of a federal grant, but noted NRFPD’s recent attempts at federal grants for equipment have all failed. “We’ve tried for six years in row to get a grant to replace some equipment,” said Deputy Fire Chief Mickey Hays. “Their same excuse (each year) was, yeah, you need it, but you don’t have enough fires.” Oeder said that even if the district were to get a federal staffing grant, that program only funds 90 percent of the wages in the first year — and that figure
goes down incrementally in the ensuing years. “We finally came to this point of (deciding on the) funding we are asking for — it’s about as low as we could (ask for) to try to maintain the kind of service that we need to be providing our people and feel good about our personnel being safe, our community being safe, and (to ensure the public’s) getting the best service that we could possibly give them. Residents also wanted to know what kind of shift coverage the levy would establish, if approved. “They’ll be three on shift and it will be (for) 24 hours a day, seven days a week (plus) the duty officer,” Oeder said. “That’s what we’ll have guaranteed. If someone calls in sick or is on paid vacation, we will have two people (at a) bare minimum for the shift crew (plus) our duty officer. Our staffing won’t ever go below two.” They also were interested in finding out if the levy is approved, whether that could improve the district’s fire insurance rating. Oeder said that districtwide, NRFPD is currently rated as a 5, which is midway on the 10-point scale by ISO (with 10 being the worse and 1 the best). He added recent discussions with ISO have revealed that the district is very close to acheiving a rating of 4. “We may be able to bring it down (with some improvements), and with (more) personnel, that will be even more help for us (in our efforts to achieve a better rating).” Another concern was what would

(On the other hand), how would (you) feel if (you) make that call and they show up and they take care of the situation? “I can talk from personal experience because my wife, the Photo by Tim Hirsch last few years that she was alive, JIM OEDER, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection I don’t know how many times I District fire chief, spoke on a proposed $4.007 called these guys to come and million operating levy during a March 27 open get her,” he added. “And they house. came and I can’t tell you what a feeling it is.

Preparing for Disaster
Emergency Preparedness Fair to feature information on how to prepare yourself in the event of a disaster By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
I
f a massive subduction zone earthquake hit the Oregon Coast tomorrow, would you be ready? One way to get the tools to be sure that you are will be to attend the South County Emergency Preparedness Fair, Saturday, April 13, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s Hebo fire station. Sponsored by NRFPD, the Nestucca Volunteer Firefighters Association and the South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps, the event, which is now in its second year, will feature demonstrations on how to prepare for a disaster from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 pm. as well as tables hosted by a variety of agencies including Life Flight, Tillamook PUD, American Red Cross, Tillamook County Sheriff Department’s Communication Trailer and Search and Rescue, Oregon State Police, Tillamook County Emergency Management and 911 Center, and Cloverdale Animal Hospital. Also to be featured will be a “Wiggle Watcher Display,” hosted by Kay Wyatt that will feature visuals of different stages of a tsunami. The interactive display will engage participants at various stations and is being targeted at both kids and adults. Weather permitting, there will also be a demonstration by the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District during which attendees can practice using a fire extinguisher to put out a small, contained fire. “Most people don’t use a fire extinguisher except when they need to, and they really don’t know how to use it,” explained event organizer Marge Jozsa. “Sometimes they’re surprised with the force (of the fire extinguisher). It’s better if people get a chance to use it (so) they’ll
be better prepared.” Amongst the topics that will be addressed at the fair will be what you should have on hand for your pet during a natural disaster (Cloverdale Animal Hospital), and information on how to call 911 in an emergency, as well as the process they use and questions they have to ask. There will also be an opportunity to order “go bags” and try out and order emergency radios, plus information on the American Red Cross’s Family Plan, a tool used to help people talk through issues such as where they would meet-up in the event of a disaster. The fair will also give away two door prizes each hour. Prizes will include items appropriate to include in a “go bag” such as water filters, crank radios and first aid kits. “The focus is (for the different organizations) to share about emergency preparedness,” Jozsa said. “I think there’s going to be lots of great information.” She said the goal of the event is not to scare residents, but to get people thinking about the importance of being prepared should a natural disaster strike. In particular, she hopes people will consider getting a “go bag” as a start. “(A go bag) is not just for an earthquake or a tsunami, but if there was a major fire, and something you could take with you, (it could prove valuable),” she said, and also hailed the event as a way to raise awareness and recruit more volunteers for the South County Emergency Volunteer Corps. The fair is part of a bigger effort in South County led by the South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps, which has developed an emergency preparedness steering committee that’s looking at various issues.

According to OSP, when units arrived the suspects had fled the scene. The suspects, identified by OSP as Matthew G. Buswell, 36, from the Keizer/Salem area, and Cassandra Maughan, 34, from Keizer, were located after a short pursuit on a forest service road off Sandlake Road where they struck an Oregon State Police vehicle. Both suspects were taken into custody after a gun fire exchange. The suspects were transported to a local hospital for evaluation from the crash, but there were no other injuries reported.

OPRD approves ocean shores permit for undersea cable in Tierra Del Mar Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department announced on March 26 that it has approved an ocean shores alteration permit application by Edge Cable Holdings USA, LLC to install an undersea fiber optic telecommunication cable, the Jupiter cable in Tierra Del Mar. The proposed project is located on the ocean shore fronting a vacant lot between 5865 Irish Ave. and 28790 Sandlake Road in Tierra Del Mar, approximately three miles north of Pacific City. In its findings, OPRD said the project was approved because it met criteria. Demonstrated criteria included an established need for the proposed cable and conduits to cross the ocean shore and the fact that the proposed cable landing facility complies with the policy of OAR 736-020-0040 that prohibits the use of the ocean shore as a north-south utility corridor. Additionally, OPRD noted that the cable and associated conduits will be bored below the beach level and no excavation will take place on the ocean shore which they say means there will be no adverse impacts to recreation, natural resources, known cultural resources, or scenic values. Finally, they added that “in

The project involves horizontal directional drilling under the ocean shore, from an upland vault to an offshore location, and installation of conduit to accommodate placement of the cable. Edge Cable Holdings currently has both a conditional permit and development permit filed with Tillamook County Community Development, which are currently under review. OPRD denied a second application by Edge Cable to install a conduit under the ocean shore at the site for the future installation of a submarine fiber optic cable, saying the applicant had failed to demonstrate that there is adequate justification to install a vacant conduit across the ocean shore.

NVSD to take leadership role in emergency preparedness By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun The Nestucca Valley School District has embarked on a renewed focus on emergency preparedness. Launched at a K-12 staff meeting on March 18, the district has begun coordinating efforts with the South Tillamook County Emergency Corps. as well as the NeahKah-Nie School District. They also plan to include the Tillamook School District in the near future. “We’re going to try and create a consolidated emergency preparedness manual (so) that all three school districts will be alike or similar,” NVSD Superintendent Misty Wharton told the Sun. She added that the effort is so that those are responding to an emergency countywide — parents included — know how the school’s going to respond in a given situation. “It’s a handbook that the whole staff will have, and each classroom will have a grab and go ‘flip chart’ version,” she said. She said staff will also be encouraging parents to attend the South Tillamook County Emergency Preparedness Fair, set for April 13 at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s fire hall in Hebo. “We want to use the school as a
vehicle to really standardize the message and the practices for emergency preparedness for South County because we don’t have an incorporated government down here,” Wharton added. “We have to find a way to get all these little groups unified and so if we have this Emergency Preparedness Volunteer Corps. and the school is using the same language and practices as them, you’re then touching thousands of people.” The school district is also planning on dedicating space in its monthly newsletter to educate parents and students about disaster preparedness. Wharton said the district decided to embark on a more focused involvement in emergency preparedness as an extension of its more updated emergency protocols. Two years ago, the district began receiving ALICE training, a comprehensive active threat training response program that stands for Alert, Lock-Down, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. “Some people get very concerned that if you start talking about natural disasters, emergency protocol, live shooters, you’re really going to scare the kids,” she said. “But there’s a tactful way to do that and arm them with the information they need. To not do that is what’s scary. You have to be able to educate them so they can react.”

Coast Guard urges mariners to secure, label paddlecraft The Coast Guard is urging paddlecraft owners to properly secure and label their vessels after recently responding to two unmanned-adrift vessel cases. Coast Guard crews treat every unmanned-adrift vessel as a search and rescue case and immediately launch a search for potential mariners in distress. “Every unmanned-adrift vessel is treated as a potential distress situation, which takes up valuable time, resources and manpower,” said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Brook Serbu. “When the craft is properly labeled, the situation can often be quickly resolved with a phone call to the vessel owner, which minimizes personnel fatigue and negative impacts on crew readiness.” Helicopter and boat crews individually search an average of two hours per response and a similar amount of time is spent by other government agency personnel. Additionally, Coast Guard command center and 911 center personnel spend an additional four hours investigating the incident.
Coast Guard officials encourage all paddlecraft owners to label their vessels using a permanent or waterproof marker covered with clear, waterproof tape for increased durability. Boaters can also check with a local outdoor recreation retailer or Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla to obtain a Paddle Smart Identification Sticker. At the very least, the label should include the name of the vessel’s owner, a number to reach them and a secondary point of contact. In the event that the vessel is adrift, crews can use that information to contact the owner and avoid launching an unnecessary search. If the owner of a vessel is unable to be located after a reasonable amount of time, Coast Guard crews are forced to destroy the vessel or turn it over to the state for disposal. Mariners who encounter unmannedadrift vessels or other hazards to navigation are encouraged to contact the Coast Guard 13th District Command Center at 206-220-7001 or via VHF-FM Channel 16.

The Portland, Oregon artist, who has toured internationally and recorded six critically acclaimed albums, brought his own brand of blues — he describes it as a “combination of New Orleans rhythms, the simplicity of Memphis music, and the rawness of the blues.” His growly voice and infectious groove had the audience bopping their heads and swaying to the beat and inspired some to take to the dance floor.

Volunteers clear over 21,000 pounds of debris during SOLVE Cleanup SOLVE’s annual Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup brought SOLVE Month to a strong close on Saturday, March 23 when volunteers removed in excess of 21,000 pounds of litter and marine debris from the coast. Presented by AAA Oregon, the annual SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup saw more than 4,800 volunteers working on 45 cleanup locations from Astoria to Brookings. In South County four sites were tackled — Pacific City/ Cape Kiwanda, Neskowin, Sand Lake, and Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside. “Today, thousands of volunteers from across the state came together to clean up our beaches, and that is truly inspiring. We are grateful to each and every one of them,” said Kris Carico, CEO of SOLVE. SOLVE, an Oregon-based nonprofit aimed at keeping our state clean and healthy, has been organizing bi-annual cleanups along the entire Oregon coast since 1986. Since that time, more than 260,000 SOLVE volunteers have removed an estimated 3.6 million pounds of debris from the coastline. SOLVE’s annual Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup, presented by AAA Oregon, happens to come right as Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared March “SOLVE Month.” Common items found during the event were tiny bits of plastic, cigarette butts, bottle caps, and food wrappers, which can be harmful to both marine life and shorebirds. Unique items found by volunteers included
a kiddie pool from Rockaway Beach, a small dock filled with Styrofoam near Nehalem, multiple life vests and a rusty box spring. In addition to litter on the beach, some of the debris removed had washed in from the ocean following winter storms and tides. Items ranged from fishing rope, crab traps, crates, and buoys to glass and plastic bottles. Event Presenting Sponsor, AAA Oregon, joined four of the cleanup sites with dozens of employees. “We are proud to have joined Oregonians from across the state as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of SOLVE and this annual tradition of spring cleaning for our state’s special coastal places,” said Tim Morgan, CEO of AAA Oregon, and a native Oregonian. “Taking care of our state is a huge priority for AAA and our employees.” Oregonians who were not able to make it to the beach on March 23 can still make a difference by picking up litter in their neighborhood, local park or along the beaches any time of year. As well, SOLVE, which since its inception in 1969 has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer action, says individuals can join a local SOLVE project or create one of their own. To learn more, visit solveoregon.org. 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, and to build a legacy of stewardship.

Jews for Jesus to present model Seder in Tillamook Tillamook United Methodist Church is inviting all to hear a presentation given by Jews for Jesus on Monday, April 8, 7 p.m. The topic will be a model Seder and explains the Passover meal. Jews for Jesus is an agency that proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world. The late Moishe Rosen, a Jew who has believed in Jesus for more than 35 years, founded the organization. However, he did not “start” Jews for Jesus. “Jews for Jesus” began about 2,000 years ago, around 32 C.E., give or take a year. Jesus’ first disciples were Jewish, and there have been some Jewish people who have believed in him
ever since. The organization has permanent branches in eight North American cities, as well as 127 volunteer chapters spanning 41 states and five counties. To the Jews for Jesus, believing in Jesus makes sense in light of the Jewish Bible and their experiences as “believers.” For those who argue that Christianity contradicts the meaning of Judaism, the Jews for Jesus say there are answers, which their representatives will be happy to discuss after the presentation. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP to TUMC at 503-8422224. There will be no admission charge.
