A FIELD OF 200 teams is expected when Hood to Coast Pacific City returns on May 4 for a 78-mile relay from Bald Peak to Cape Kiwanda.

total of 50 runners gathered to help Neskowin Valley School make it a little easier for children of the area to experience the experiential education at the school on Saturday, April 20 during NVS’s second annual Earth Day Run. Together with sales from the event’s after party/ beer garden and the three races — a 5K, 10K and trail run, the fundraiser earned $3,900 for the school’s scholarship program.

“We’re just really thankful for the community that came out and supported us,” said Kelly Ellis, NVS head of school.

Ellis said the field of approximately 50 represented an increase over the inaugural running in 2018.

“It was definitely an improvement over last year,” she said. “We feel it will continue to grow as people (become) more familiar with the race.”

She also said the event was greeted by rave reviews.

“The run went great,” Ellis said. “The runners commented that they enjoyed the course, and we had a lot of people come just for the party afterwards so that was nice, too.”

Finishing first in the 5K was Autumn Ellis, of Lincoln City, who crossed the line in 26:23.3. She was followed by Sarah Scandon, of Otis, in 26:33.0 and Brooke Orendorff, of Neskowin in 27:16.3. Neskowin’s Joe Wilkinson was the top runner in the 10K with a time of 43:27.4, followed by Tyler Bentley, of Cloverdale, in 43:30.5 and Maya Foty, of Portland, in 48:38.7.

In all 25 runners completed the 5K and 13 the 10K. The untimed trail run also attracted 10 participants.

I am concerned about the negative, false rhetoric from a few people about the Pacific City Joint Water & Sanitary Authority (PCJWSA) Board. Walter & Robin Kostrikin’s letter in the 4/12/19 edition has many inaccurate statements which seem to me intended to undermine and malign the Board members. Apparently they want you to believe that the current Board is not doing their job, but provide no (factual) basis for this.

They state “The Water and Sewer Board has shown a preference for continuing the development, and despite evidence to the contrary, the policy of not charging SDC’s (system development charges) upfront to developers continues today. The ratepayers bear the cost of bringing service lines in and maintaining them until the lots are sold and built on.”

This is totally false.

The PCJWSA cannot “show preference for development”, they are a service provider, charged with a duty to have water and sanitary available to all properties within their boundaries when needed.

The PCJWSA does not bear the cost of bringing the service lines in to new developments. The Developer puts in all lines and bears all costs of any new infrastructure (and there may be off-site improvements the Developer is required to provide and pay for).

SDCs are customarily paid at time of connection because: 1) the lot may never be built on and never need connection; 2) whatever is eventually built will need the appropriate connection type & size and the SDC charge will vary depending on the need; and 3) fees go up over time and current fees apply when connection is made.

When attending meetings where Mike Dill has spoken, I have felt very concerned about his apparent lack of business knowledge. It seems to me that we should not put our vital water & sewer resources into the hands of people who do not have the skills to do the job.

Please write in Tom Donohue for Position #3 instead of Mike Dill. Tom is a person of positive and productive action, a local Doryman who has served on the Doryman’s Association and NVCA Boards.

He has experience & the business sense needed for PCJWSA. Please vote to re-elect Carolyn McVicker who has done an exemplary job of leading the District for many years.

Mary J Jones Pacific City

Concerns over water quality I am a full-time resident of Pacific City.

When I received a notice that our water was a stage 2 DBPR HAA5 MCL violation, I became quite concerned because I am an elderly person, age 80, and also a multiple cancer survivor. I went to the Pacific City Joint Water and Sewer Authority office and attended the next monthly Board of Directors meeting to express my concerns.

I have served on Board of Directors in three states and a state board of directors.

I began attending monthly board meetings of the Pacific City Joint Water and Sewer Authority. At one of the meetings, Carolyn McVicker, the chair of the board kept referring to “her.” As a new resident in attendance, I had no idea who “her” was until I spoke to another resident later and found out who “her” was. I am very disappointed in the way this board and Tony Owen, the manager of PCJWSA, operate at public meetings. They often don’t have the answers, and I never hear that they will research the issue and get responses back to the residents in attendance. From my experience, the residents in attendance at these meetings have some very real concerns, and I do not approve of the way responses are given to them. We have some very real concerns about the

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • April 26, 2019

quality of our water as I will not drink the water and purchase bottled water. My water reeks of chlorine. Also, I have heard concerns about how often some water tests are done. It has been suggested by some residents that we purchase a filtered shower head because the chlorine odor gets into our lungs. I have had stage 4 cancer and my right lung was full of cancer, too. My physician suggests that I purchase bottled water because of my medical history. We pay a large sum of money every month for our water and sewer usage, and I feel we should have better service. Another concern is the asbestos water pipes.

Why are we remodeling the office when we have much higher priorities? Most of the residents that I know don’t remodel until they have funds to pay for it. Our Joint Water and Sewer Authority keeps raising our monthly bill without thinking about the burden they are putting on residents. We have an opportunity to vote soon for new board members, and I highly recommend voting for Phil Hurlimann and Mike Dill.

We definitely need a change, and we can do this when we vote in May. Margie Stoughton Pacific City

Our voice should count We are (gasp!) only part-time residents of Pacific City. For the past 11 years, we have owned a home here, paid our property taxes faithfully, and willingly, if grudgingly, paid our water and sewer bills, even as they increased. We have donated to the back pack food program, volunteered for the Birding and Blues Festival, and tried as best we could to participate in the life of the community. Now we find, in your excellent paper, that there is a coordinated effort to take over control of the Sanitary and Water Authority. It seems that a small group of disgruntled residents want to stifle development by hamstringing the efforts of the PCJWSA to modernize water supply and wastewater treatment.

They complain vaguely of contaminants in the water, and inadequate monitoring, even though the PCJWSA adheres strictly to state environmental quality requirements. If successful, their agenda is to severely restrict growth. This would also drive up my water and sewer bills, and damage my property value.

My beef is that we have made a significant investment in Pacific City. A truly significant decision will be made on May 21 by a handful of residents of PC, and this will affect us in major ways. Why are we not allowed to participate in this process?

If ever there were an example of taxation without representation, this is it. This got quite a few folks riled up back in 1776.

How about today?

Jim and Denise Mahoney Bend/Pacific City

Taking issue with the board I have lived in Pacific City since 1961 so I can now be called an old timer. My husband Keith Delaney was chairman of the water board before the water and sewer districts joined to become PCJWJSA. The current board has some major problems with being open and honest. The treatment of residents who show up at board meetings is evidently based on what questions you ask and who you are. Since I have been here for such a long time, I know a lot of things about the Authority that have been hidden away. We really need a shake up on our board of directors so that all of us are represented, not just the so called elite. So I’m asking all you old timers to vote for Phil Hurlimann and Mike Dill, please!

Voters to decide on $4 million operating levy for Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Voters in South Tillamook County are being tasked with deciding whether to support a $4.007 operating levy for the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District that would, if voters give their approval, 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 positions can again be used to maintain and update the district’s facilities and equipment.

Ballots will be mailed to voters

between May 1-7 and are due May 21.

If approved, the levy would cost taxpayers a rate not to exceed $0.66 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value within the district for a period of five years, beginning July 1. Beginning with fiscal year 2019-20, it would cost taxpayers an estimated $754,864.

Those numbers are forecasted to go up in subsequent years: $777,510 (2020-21), $800,836 (2021-22), $824,861 (2022-23) and $849,607 in its final fiscal year, 2023-24.

For more information about the proposed levy, contact the district at 503-392-3313.

The course, which is based on the original Hood to Coast that finished in Pacific City from 1982-1989, will feature 12 legs and run along the final 78 miles of the original relay course. The one exception is leg 11, which features a five-mile trek through trails and logging roads.

Every relay team member will run two legs, each of which range from four to nine miles with varying levels of difficulty. Walking teams will be accommodated by their own 54-mile course, which features eight legs. “(The course) looks like it AN EXPECTED 200 teams will participate in would have in 1982, and that’s the 2019 Hood to Coast-Pacific City relay on pretty special,” says Daniel Floyd, Saturday, May 4.

An Easter egg scramble

CHILDREN AGES 1-10 took to the field on Saturday, April 20 for the Nestucca Valley Lions Club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School, collecting candy-filled eggs for their effort.

CHILDREN put out a “mock” fire during egg hunt festivities with the help of firefighters from Nestucca Rural Fire Protect District. They learned the lesson that it’s firefighters’ job to put out fires and it’s their job to leave a burning house — and stay out until its safe to return.

PHOTOS with the Easter Bunny were amongst the popular egg hunt activities. Above, Ronel Ponchot, of Pacific City, poses with her children, Jordane, 2, and Hudson, 4.

Candidates tout their experience, share concerns for PCJWSA’s future

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Four candidates will be vying for two open positions on the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Board of Directors this May. Ballots will be mailed May 1-7 and must be returned by May 21.

Competing for the Position No. 5 on the board are current Board Chair Carolyn McVicker, who is seeking her fourth term as director, and Woods resident Phil Hurlimann. Mike Dill, also of Woods, is the lone candidate on the ballot for Position No. 3, but Pacific City resident Thomas Donohue has announced he will challenge for that opening via a write-in campaign.

McVicker has had a residence in Pacific City since 1996, and has lived in Pacific City full-time since 2004. Her professional background includes counseling, organizational development, fund-raising, public policy, family business, and obstetrical nursing. She had her own consulting business in organization development and conflict resolution for 33 years serving both public agencies and private companies.

Locally, she has served on the boards of PCJWSA, Nestucca Ridge Homeowners Association, Neskowin Chamber Music, and Pacific City Pathways/TORTA. In addition, McVicker has played a leading role in getting various public agencies to work together to successfully bring more recreational lands into public hands — including Whalen Island.

A resident of Woods since 1979, Dill has spent the last 20 years working as a contractor/consultant for large corporations such as BPA.gov, PacifiCorp and Nike and smaller corporation such as Central

“Service Even After The Sale”

ganizations. As a technical analyst for the Oregon Lottery for 25 years, I dealt with very complex electronic and mechanical problems. Politically speaking, I understand how Robert’s Rules of Order work, and I know how to conduct a meeting.”

He also noted his dedication to fiscal responsibility.

“I’m a fiscal conservative,” Donohue said. “I don’t want to spend any money we don’t have to. It’s the public’s money. It needs to be spent wisely.”

They each also see different challenges facing the Authority.

McVicker pointed to planning for succession as a key issue, as well as engaging the community with the issues surrounding drinking water and wastewater.

“As our workforce ages and retires, (we need to make) sure we get the right people in here,” she said. “Decisions that we make have to be made within the regulations that are required within the industry or by law. So communicating that, having conversations with people to share that knowledge, is a big challenge.”

For Hurlimann, the biggest challenges are the Authority’s budget, water quality and asbestos cement pipes. He added he’d like to sit down with Authority manager Tony Owen to find out where asbestos cement pipes are still in use.

“I hope to answer every question people have and get every question solved to the best of my knowledge and ability,” he said. “If I can’t answer a question at a (board) meeting, I will find the answer and get back to them.”

Dill said his concerns for the authority revolve around communication and building a resilient system.

“I think if (PCJWSA) was more open, we would get better solutions,” he said.

“One of the issues that I tried to get across to them at the upgrade was what they call community resilience. One of the ways you do that is by spreading out your capabilities. A lot of the upgrade all went into ...the place where it’s all at so we collapsed all of our resources into that one place.”

He suggested that instead smaller processing plants could be built at strategic locations around town.

And for his part, Donohue said he sees the threat of a natural disaster as the biggest potential challenge the Authority faces.

“I think we’re fairly well positioned with our main water source up in the hills and (thus we’re) not depending on the wells that we have because they would be ruined in a natural disaster,” he said. “With the new sewage treatment facility, we’re also well positioned for the future for what little expansion we do have. I don’t anticipate much because of the way the growth boundary is.”

“Service Even After The Sale”

Authority’s wastewater treatment plant upgrade off the ground.

“I don’t think (we were) oppositionally opposed, but what we wanted to do is push the funding of that upgrade more towards Cape Kiwanda and towards the tourism,” he said. “I think Pacific City will be a lot better off for four years of me being secretary. I’ve done documentation for 25 years. I’m good with any kind of data whether it’s in data files or databases or spreadsheets. I’ve dealt with multiple kinds of media. What I thought I could really do for Pacific City is to build them a good public display system that shows them what their water system is — whether it’s weak parts or whether its strong parts and how well can it handle emergencies and how well can it go into the future.”

Donohue said he agreed to run a write-in campaign, noting that in part because of his experience as a technical analyst, he’s always been interested in the science behind water and wastewater treatment. “(A) big reason (I’m running) is I know all the current board members and some of them, I’ve served on many other community projects (with),” he said about his candidacy. “We work really well together.”

The field of four each shared their personal strengths that they would seek to use should they be elected.

In discussing her strengths, McVicker pointed to her ability to make decisions.

“I will take the facts, review them, research them and identify the importance of the values and the information and take my time in getting all the input I can before I make a decision,” she said.

Hurlimann said he’d bring transparency, understanding and a desire to control spending if elected. He counts public service, as well as his attitude of cooperation and understanding as assets.

For his part, Dill said he expects his experience with documentation and quality assurance to pay dividends for the Authority if he’s elected.

“I’m pretty good at it, and I’ve spent a lot of time taking complex information and breaking it down so everybody can understand it,” he said. “One of the methods that I do (that) is with pictures.

I think I’m a very visual thinker, and I’ve always brought that visual perspective to whatever research I’m looking at.”

Donohue said he believes he could do the job “really well” thanks to his extensive community service.

“I’ve got a tremendous amount of community experience,” he said. “The business of the board is fairly complicated, and, at the same time, it needs to be transparent. I understand how these things work (as) I’ve worked with lots of other or-

WORLD MIGRATORY BIRD DAY will be celebrated in South Tillamook County on Saturday, May 11 with a backyard birding event and bird walk in Neskowin and a hike on the Two Rivers Nature Trail at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

GREAT SANDWICHES & SUPER SNACKS! Bread Sticks & Sauce Tater Barrels

Neskowin Beach Golf Course, USFWS to host World Migratory Bird events on May 11 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Neskowin Beach Golf Course is celebrating World Migratory Bird Day on May 11 when the public is invited to drop in to the NBGC Clubhouse from 7:30-11:30 a.m. to learn backyard birding basics, species identification, and how to make homes more bird-friendly.

Attendees can also meet at the NBGC Clubhouse to participate in expertly guided bird walks at both Neskowin Marsh and Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

The Neskowin Bird Walk will leave from the Clubhouse at 8 a.m. and return at 9:30 a.m. during which the pubic will have the opportunity to learn the species twittering just beyond Neskowin residents’ window. Neskowin attracts an abundance of waterfowl, songbirds and more.

The Nestucca Bay Hike will wind along the Two Rivers Nature Trail and provide hikers the chance to listen to the sounds of songbirds while learning identification tips. The hike is two miles and classified as “moderately difficult.”

Hikers will carpool from the Clubhouse at 8 a.m. and begin the hike at 8:15 a.m.

The hike will last until approximately 11 a.m. For both walks, attendees should bring their binoculars and appropriate clothing for a long walk and potential inclement weather.

World Migratory Bird Day, formerly known as International Migratory Bird Day, is an annual celebration of the thousands of migratory species that travel the world. For 26 years, WMBD has aimed to bring awareness to these animals and the innumerable challenges they face. This year, WMBD focuses on the problem of plastic pollution, which is a significant threat to migratory birds and other animals. At the event, participants will have the opportunity to explore ways to reduce plastic use for the benefit of migratory birds and the planet as a whole.

The Neskowin Beach Golf Course Clubhouse is located at 48405 Hawk Dr., Neskowin. For more information, contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 541-867-4550.
