EMERGENCY WORKERS rescued two surfers caught in a rip current at Cape Kiwanda on Saturday, May 18. The two surfers, one of which originally went out to help the other, were stuck in a rip current approximately 600 yards offshore.

Safe and Sound

Emergency workers rescue surfers caught in rip tide AdventistHealthTillamook.org

A service of Adventist Health Tillamook RHC/Medical Office Network

First responders rescued a pair of surfers on Saturday, May 18 after receiving a report that the two were in distress in the ocean at Cape Kiwanda. Deputies from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, emergency personnel from the Nestucca Fire Protection District and an ambulance from Adventist Health Tillamook responded to the beach at Cape Kiwanda.

Responders learned that one surfer had been caught in a rip current and another more experienced surfer went out to assist him. Both surfers were stuck in the rip current about 600 yards offshore.

Water Rescue Teams from North Lincoln Fire and Rescue as well as Netarts-Oceanside Fire District also responded to the scene. A Coast Guard helicopter from sector Columbia River in Astoria was launched as well as a 47-foot motor lifeboat from US Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay in Garib-

aldi.

According to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, the current was strong enough that the surfers were taken around Cape Kiwanda and were just off McPhillips beach when a Coast Guard helicopter arrived on scene. The Coast Guard helicopter deployed a rescue swimmer to assist the two surfers. The Water Rescue Team from North Lincoln Fire and Rescue went into the water and recovered the two surfers and their surfboards. They were brought to shore on McPhillips beach where they were evaluated by emergency responders.

Neither surfer was injured nor hypothermic. Both surfers were wearing wetsuits which authorities say prevented them from becoming hypothermic in the cold ocean water.

The two Portland men, both age 27, were rescued more than a mile from where they went into the water.

Local churches join together to host VBS program When school wraps up, that doesn’t mean it’s time to put all thoughts of learning away — not when there’s an opportunity to learn about the gospel.

Children will have the opportunity to delve into the promises of the Bible and learn more about the promises of Jesus when Pacific Coast Bible Church, Blaine Community Church and Beaver Community Church host a Vacation Bible School program, June 17-21, 9 a.m.-noon, at Beaver Community Church. Preregistration is now available for children age 4 through those in the 7th grade at pacificcoastbiblechurch.com.

This year’s theme is “Time Lab,” a curriculum that will focus on discovering Jesus from eternity past to eternity future. Concepts planned will include teachings of Jesus’s role before and during creation, followed by references to him in the Old Testament and his visitation to the world as recorded in Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • May 24, 2019

the New Testament. Children will also learn about who Jesus is to believers from early AD to the present as well as in the future.

“I think VBS is a really special program for the community because it gives kids who do and who don’t go to a local church a walk through the good news of Jesus Christ,” said Amber Mason, who, along with Mary Ann Somdahl, is the co-director of the program. “Children are welcome to come learn a Bible lesson, memorize a verse, make a fun craft, play games, and have a snack with a group of kids they have seen at school all year — and some new friends who don’t go to the local elementary. Several kids are a part of music and even drama for assembly times during the beginning and ending of our morning together. Each summer has been a truly rewarding time for the church to spend caring for the kids in the community.”

Future iQ’s data-driven approach has resulted in a clear understanding of community desires for the future.

Future iQ has been working to develop a decision-making tool that helps align project priorities with community desires.

Tillamook County citizens are invited to hear about Future iQ’s work, the data that has been collected regarding citizens’ values, perspectives, and the identified priorities for future investments. Future iQ will be introducing the draft strategic plan and decision-making tool to the public at Tillamook Bay Community College. The meeting will provide the public an opportunity to have direct input into shaping future investment priorities in the County.

Future of tourism to be highlighted at June 4 community presentation The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners and the Tillamook County Futures Council is inviting the public to attend a community presentation on Tuesday, June 4, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at Tillamook Bay Community College, by project consultant Future iQ regarding the future of tourism investments in Tillamook County.

The tourism industry in Tillamook County has been recognized as a key economic driver. However, there has been increasing public concern about the impacts of “over-tourism” and increasing visitation levels. Following a series of community listening sessions hosted by the Futures Council in 2017, Tillamook County’s commissioners sought to better understand citizens’ priorities and community values regarding the growing tourism economy.

In early 2019, Tillamook County hired Future iQ to develop a future-looking strategic action plan to guide tourismrelated facilities investments in Tillamook County. Building upon past planning efforts, Future iQ has facilitated extensive

Oregon’s North Coast bands together to manage tourism impacts The North Coast Tourism Studio, offered by Travel Oregon in partnership with a local steering committee (representing 24 organizations and agencies), began with listening sessions held in spring 2018, which guided the topics for a series of five workshops last fall and this winter, and has now begun work on five initial action areas.

At the program’s outset, community members were encouraged to work together to find solutions for achieving sustainable tourism best practices on Oregon’s north coast and leverage local programs already in place on a regional scale. The geographic reach of the program included communities and rural surroundings between Astoria and Neskowin. Studio sessions were attended by both the private and public sector representing a variety of interests and knowledge backgrounds, including forestry, state parks, transportation, government, environmental nonprofits, and tourism businesses and organizations.

“The North Coast is clearly entering a new part of its destination ‘lifecycle,’” said Kristin Dahl, vice president of destination development for Travel Oregon. “Key to moving forward will be finding the right balance between the economic and social benefits of tourism, and the impacts that high visitation can have on traffic, local services, natural resources, and quality of life.”

The year-long studio program has concluded, but the work is just beginning for the participants and attendees. The newly created North Coast Tourism Management Network

is formed by a leadership team that includes the network coordinator, core leaders, project team leaders, the original steering committee, and active community participants.

The network coordinator is Nan Devlin, executive director of Visit Tillamook Coast. Core team members include Regina Willkie of Astoria Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, Dan Haag of Manzanita Visitors Center, Jim Paino of Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, and Arica Sears of Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA).

The strategies of the network include: striving to retain and maintain quality of life for residents while preserving character and sense of place for coastal communities in tandem with growing sustainable tourism; preserving and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the region while offering high-quality experiences; encouraging stewardship best practices by locals, visitors and tourism organizations; integrating cultural heritage into the visitor experience, authentically and respectfully; reducing congestion during peak seasons and in high-use areas; spreading the seasonality of visitation; sharing the positive economic benefits of tourism throughout the region and maximizing the integration with other key economic drivers including fisheries, forestry, agriculture and main street retail; increasing local understanding and appreciation of the value of tourism, and the contribution it makes to the local economy; and capitalizing upon the array of visionary projects already underway to bolster momentum and

ensure this region remains a unique destination.

The studio attendees identified five initial action areas they felt needed the most work and did not already have multiple area agencies working to solve, such as workforce housing.

Action teams developed a work plan that represents the whole region, geographically and across different sectors. Initial projects are in development now.

The five areas are to 1) Improve and diversify visitor transportation options, 2) Enhance outdoor recreation experiences, 3) Encourage stewardship behavior, 4. Champion the value of tourism, and 5) Align and enhance regional marketing.

The action teams meet in-person or by phone monthly and are currently outlining goals, project ideas and work plans for each impact area. The network coordinator and core team will use these project ideas to apply for grants and community funding.

Community members who would like to be a part of these discussions and work teams can contact network leader Nan Devlin at nan@tillamookcoast.com; Regina Wilke in Astoria at regina@oldoregon.com; Jim Paino in Cannon Beach, jim@cannonbeach. org; Dan Haag in Manzanita at info@ exploremanzanita.com; or Arica Sears in Pacific City, at icom@thepeoplescoast.com.

regonians love local food, but finding truly local fish can be hard, even on the coast. Most people are now much more aware of ethically grown meat and vegetables, but, for some, seafood remains somewhat mysterious. How does that crab get from the ocean to our table, and what’s the true cost of cheap salmon at the grocery store?

This is the focus of “Fish Tales: Traditions and Challenges of Seafood in Oregon,” a free conversation with Jennifer Burns Bright on Wednesday, May 29, 6-7:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive, Pacific City.

news&community State Parks seeks public comment on proposed updates to State Natural Area Program rules Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is proposing updates to the State Natural Area Program rules and creating guidelines for provisional registrations. OPRD is accepting public comments on the proposed updates — which would require amendments to Oregon Administrative Rule — through May 31.

OPRD is proposing updating program rules to allow for a new designation: provisional registration. It would apply to natural areas under active or proposed restoration. Provisionally registered properties would be given five years to design and execute an OPRDapproved restoration management plan to meet the criteria for full registration under the program.

Other proposed changes would clarify language related to technology changes, establish nomenclature of State Natural Areas versus State Natural Area Reserves, and improve alignment of program operation direction with current goals.

Comments will be accepted until 5 p.m., May 31 and can be made online at oregon.gov/oprd/RULES/Pages/

Rulemaking, by writing to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, attn.

Katie Gauthier, 725 Summer St NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301, or via email, D.publiccomment@oregon.gov.

After reviewing public comments, agency staff plan to present a final recommended rule for consideration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission at its June 2019 business meeting.

The Oregon Legislature established the Oregon State Natural Areas Program in 1979 as a way to protect high quality native ecosystems and rare plant and animal species.

In 2010, the Oregon Natural Areas Plan was developed which defines the full range of Oregon’s natural heritage and guides the selection of priority areas for the establishment of natural areas. The plan was updated in 2015 and guides the department’s actions in the program.

The full text of the proposed amendments to the program’s Oregon Administrative Rules, 736-045-0011 to 736-045-0505, is available online at oregon.gov/oprd/Rules/pages/index.aspx.

Fraud scams continue to be a problem in Tillamook Co. Deputies with the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office continue to receive complaints from individuals who have fallen victim to one of the various scams or were contacted by individuals who were attempting to use the scam to obtain money. It is reported that scams cost victims more than $23 million a year.

One scam TCSO recently dealt with was the IRS Scam where someone calls claiming to be from the IRS and that the person called owes money that must be paid immediately, or face being picked up by the police or some other law enforcement agency. The scammers continue to evolve, for example, they now have the ability to force resident’s caller-id to show any number they wish.

Another of the recent scams involves the caller reporting to be from the Social Security Administration. The scam caller says that your Social Security Number has been suspended because of suspicious activity or has been involved in a crime. From here there are several variations, some need those contacted to provide your SSN to reactivate it, or that your bank account is about to be seized. They require you to get gift cards, then give them the codes to make them safe. Once they get the information, they use it to take your money. First, both these actions are part of the scam, the Social Security Administration will never call you to wire or send money or threaten to suspend your benefits. The number on the Caller-ID even shows the SSA phone number. Residents that receive a call from the SSA, but are in doubt, should hang up and call the SSA back direct at 1-800-772-1213. It is advised to never give any part of your SSN, bank account or credit card information to anyone who contacts you on the phone.

The most recent scam involves the person offering to update the software on your computer for a fee. To do this they tell you, you must give them control of your computer. This action gives them the ability to go anywhere on your computer, enabling them to steal your data. The Sheriff’s Office received two complaints recently about this scam. In

both cases, the scammer then calls them back to say the software was outdated and they wanted to refund their money.

The caller, still able to control your computer, asks the victim to look at the screen to verify the amount is correct.

The amount displayed shows a credit of several thousand dollars more. Once the victim tells them of the error, they advise the victim to go get $500 Google Play Gift Cards then provide them with the activation numbers so they can recover their money. They pressure the victim to get this done as quick as they can. Never give an unknown individual control of your computer and no company asks to be paid by Gift Cards.

Other local past scams include the Arrest Warrant Scam where they say there is a warrant for your arrest — they were even using the names of local officers and the caller ID showed the Sheriff’s Office phone number, saying that if you just wanted to pay the fine, to not be arrested, you needed to provide the pre-paid card numbers for the amount provided, or send a Western Union Moneygram.

Another past one is a call professing to be a relative that is visiting the area and was arrested and needed bail money. They provide some information that would cause some people to possibly believe them, and again they asked that you either wire money or get the Pre-Paid Cards and provide them the number so they can collect the money.

Some local merchants have instituted a policy that they will not sell more than one $500 pre-paid card in an effort to protect their customers from these many scams that are taking place, many scammer using the card as a way to take the victim’s money.

In addition to the above warning, the Sheriff’s Office advises the following: to hang up on suspicious calls; be cautious of Caller IDs; do not be pressured into taking immediate action; do not provide passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, or other personal data and, don’t send money if the caller tells you to wire money or pay with a prepaid card.

Full time and Part time Drivers Tillamook County Transportation District is looking for customer service-oriented individuals to join our team of professional drivers. Training provided along with competitive wages and benefits.

The race between four candidates — one of which was a write-in — to fill two vacancies on the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Board of Directors remained too close to call as of press time.

In unofficial — and incomplete — results as of 11 p.m. on May 21, there were 171 write-ins recorded for position No. 3 while Woods resident Mike Dill garned 152 votes. Though Tillamook County Clerk Tassi O’Neil could not release the breakdown of write-in votes, she did tell the Sun that write-in candidate Tom Donohue, of Pacific City, wasn’t the only one with write-in votes.

Still, she did say the election illustrates the fact that a write-in campaign can be successful.

“This might be a really good eye-opener that a write-in campaign can work,” she said.

In the other race, for position No. 5, incumbent Carolyn McVicker, of Pacific City, was leading Phillip Hurlimann, of Woods, 185-178.

Voter turnout in the PCJWSA election was high.

As of press time, 51 percent of eligible voters had been recorded.

The results, though, remain in question due to the fact that countywide there are 25 ballots that either had bad or no signatures. Because voters have 14 days from the election to rectify those signatures, together with the fact that an untold number of ballots have yet to be received that were dropped off in Multnomah County, means that, according to O’Neil, complete unofficial results won’t be available until June 5. The election will be certified by June 10.

Pioneer Museum to host June 8 talk on creativity, vulnerability in art What do we risk when we lay ourselves open through music, painting, or any other art form?

What might we give up and what might we gain when we set out to craft something beautiful or provocative or simply expressive that the world did not previously hold? Given today’s artistic economy, to what extent is exposure — to other people and of the creative self — desirable?

This is the focus of “What We Risk: Creativity, Vulnerability, and Art,” a free conversation with Jason Graham on Saturday, June 8, 1 p.m., at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, 2106 Second Street in downtown Tillamook. The program is hosted by the Museum and sponsored by Oregon Humanities and the Museum’s Daisy Fund.

Graham is a Chicago-born, Oregon-based artist and educator. He is a former slam poetry champion for the state of Oregon and is currently an art

ambassador for Rise Up International in association with the US Department of State. He has been featured multiple times as a TEDx speaker and performer. His resume includes Sundance Film Festival, Fiji International Jazz & Blues Festival, Women’s Muse Conference, MAGIC trade show Las Vegas, Street Con Dubai, Valley Fiesta Australia, and Oregon Art Beat, and he has shared stages with the likes of Ice Cube, Ghostface Killah, Saul Williams, and Talib Kweli, among many others. Most recently he worked as a journalist in Nauru for Vice magazine.

Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in conversations about ideas they hail as critical to our daily lives and our Oregon’s future.

For more information about this free community discussion, please contact the Museum at 503-8424553 or visit tcpm.org.

ALTITUDES, a Rowboat Gallery art show honoring flight in Pacific City, took in more than $200 in donations for Friends of the Pacific City State Airport during its opening night, May 11. The show, which runs through June 30, includes some artists who will donate a portion of their proceeds to FPCSA. Historical information about the airport is also available at the gallery.

ODA to hold monthly meeting on June 6 in Pacific City The Oregon Department of Aviation will hold its monthly Board meeting at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City on Thursday, June 6, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. ODA often has meetings in different locations near airports they serve. Friends of Pacific City State Airport, months ago, issued an invitation to the ODA Board to visit Pacific City’s small, state airport. The FPCSA are encouraging the public to attend.

Amongst the items on the agenda will be an update on airport operations and a discussion on an ODA memorandum of understanding on Pacific City State Airport.

According to the FPCSA, this past month many improvements have been taken place at and around the airport.

Work has included Tillamook PUD’s replacement of faded red balls on top

the telephone poles along River Avenue and the removal of several trees north of the runway to make it safer for planes to land from the north. In addition, cameras were placed on a hanger on the west side of the runway so pilots can check the weather before flying into Pacific City.

As well, the airport’s non-working restroom is being renovated to be available for pilots landing in Pacific City. FPCSA president Sally Rissel says the partnership between Friends of Pacific City State Airport, formed earlier this year, has been very beneficial to the community and has already improved the safety of the airport. She also noted that even for those that aren’t pilots, the sessions are informative, and it is a way to show community support for ODA as it works to help the FPCSA improve the airport.

Sourgrass Creek culvert project expected to cause delays on OR 22 between Hebo and Grand Ronde A culvert replacement project at Sourgrass Creek will cause traffic delays on OR 22 between Hebo and Grand Ronde in western Yamhill County. The project starts later this month and includes several full weekend closures of OR 22 with the first one scheduled on May 31 to June 2.

The project will replace a failing culvert with a bridge on OR 22 near mile point 11.3, about three quarters of a mile from Dolph Junction (OR 130/OR 22). The construction work will require single lane closures and 24 hour traffic control by flaggers. There are currently four weekend closures scheduled that will last from Friday at 7 p.m. to Monday at 6 a.m. during the following weekends:

May 31-June 2; June 7-9; June 14-16; and Oct. 25-27.

The weekend closures are complete closures with no thru traffic allowed to use the road at mile point 11.3. The contractor can close the road for two additional weekends if needed. During the closures, traffic will be detoured using U.S. 101 and OR 18.

Variable message signs will be posted at various locations to warn travelers of the construction and potential delays.

Access for pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will be available and identified through or around the work zones.

For updates on traffic, visit tripcheck.com or call 511.

PCDA to announce Dory Days grand marshals, princesses during membership meeting on May 25 The Pacific City Dorymen’s Association will hold its semi-annual membership meeting on Saturday, May 25 at Pacific Coast Bible Church when it will announce this year’s Dory Days grand marshals and princesses, as well as winners of its scholarship programs.

The meeting, which starts at 3 p.m., will also include a report from the Heritage Committee, an update on the PCDA’s Memorial Wall, a discussion on

beach congestion and enforcement and discussions on upcoming events, which include the Blessing of the Fleet, which is scheduled for June 8, and the 2019 Day Days celebration, which is slated for July 19-21. Other agenda items include reports on membership, the PCDA’s website and fisheries.
