Book & Bake Sale set for July 4 in Neskowin Fourth of July celebrations conjure up visions of fireworks, BBQs and family fun, and in South Tillamook County, it also brings to mind delicious homebaked goods and a new book to read.

Nesko Women’s Club will be holding their annual Book & Bake Sale Thursday, July 4 at Neskowin Wayside from 8 a.m. to noon.

Besides a plethora of baked goods made by members of Nesko and the community, used books for all ages, plus puzzles, CDs, DVDs, videos and jewelry will also be available for perusal and purchase. Face painting and a Children’s

Table will be sure to capture the younger sets attention while they wait for Neskowin’s Walkabout (the town’s version of a 4th of July parade) to begin.

The Club will also be selling raffle tickets to win an Asian Glass Float or a Locally Handmade Quilt. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and can be purchased at the bake sale or beforehand at the Oregon Coast Bank branch in Pacific City.

Nesko Women’s Club is a philanthropic organization that helps many nonprofit groups in South Tillamook County. This is their only fundraiser for the year.

Gene Johnson, who is a member of the PCJWSA advisory board was humble and gracious. He admitted he had no prior knowledge about asbestos and AC pipes and he wasn’t an epidemiologist.

Gene made several important points. After reviewing the only three US scientific studies he found involving AC pipes, they were inconclusive regarding the impact on our health.

They also were done many years ago, and he noted he could not find any recent studies. He also said we need close monitoring of our AC pipes. I just found several studies done in China that came out this year. One explained why so few studies are done for ingested asbestos because of limited methods for a proper analysis.

Gene’s analysis of how scientific studies are conducted did not alleviate our concerns. We need a plan to replace them, the safest way to do that, and more frequent testing until that happens. Visual inspections for the other 6 locations that aren’t tested so we know if they have degraded.

Some examples that were once touted as safe: cigarettes, DDT, airborne asbestos, mercury, lead and vaccines all took years to be extensively

studied worldwide.

Gene also didn’t address our salt water inundation from the river and dune wells, yearly flooding, soil conditions, and earthquakes, which cause them to degrade more quickly. The for-way stop on Brooten Road to the Woods bridge has all the right conditions. This AC pipe has been repaired numerous times because of leaks. Why hasn’t it been replaced?

The lifespan of AC pipes is 50-70 years, but many have degraded much earlier. We have no idea how old our AC pipes are. Gene may be confident about drinking the water, but he doesn’t have AC pipes, and those that do, want something done about them.

The EPA and IRAC considers asbestos a dangerous carcinogen.

Do we err on the side of caution, or take a risk with people’s health and the environment? Come to the next PCJWSA board meeting July 2 at 5 p.m. to give your input about more frequent testing, share your concerns with one of our board members, or contact me at rkostrikin@hotmail.com.

very parade has its hallmark and Cloverdale’s own downtown march is no exception — enter Clover the Cow, who will once again be stage front and center when the 38th annual Clover’s Day Parade marches through the quaint town on Saturday, July 6.

The annual event, which will also feature live music, a fun run, children’s activities, vendors, and more will commence with a country breakfast in the Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School cafeteria from 7:30-10:30 a.m. and hit the streets with an 8:30 a.m. fun run that will feature an 8K, 5K and two-mile walk. Registration for the races will be at the Cloverdale Bridge. The route will take participants on an out-and-back course on Olds Woods Road. Though there is no registration fee, donations for the Nestucca High School track and field team will be accepted.

But the event’s main draw is the parade, which starts at 11 a.m. This year’s “Clover the Cow” will once again be Rosie, a Holstein dairy cow provided by Hale Valley Holsteins.

The parade not only tips it’s hat to Cloverdale’s historic dairy industry, but also has a patriotic tone thanks to traditionally being held on the Saturday nearest the 4th of July.

“Its free to participate, and it’s open to everybody,” said organizer John Seymour about the parade. “It’s fun that it’s cow themed, and we celebrate the dairy history of the area, but then there’s also new and fun people that participate.”

Starting at Nestucca Valley Jr.- Sr. High School, the route winds down to Highway 101 in full view of those lining the downtown core. Featured in the parade will be Grand Marshals Harold and Jan Niederer, who are longtime Cloverdale residents, the Tillamook County Dairy Princess-Ambassador, the Tillamook County Rodeo Queen, members of the Grand Ronde tribe carrying the colors, and custom homemade floats. As well, a variety of vintage vehicles including classic cars, hot rods, motorcycles, retro-rods, and trucks are expected to make the trip through town.

Those wishing to enter in the parade can register download an application at the Clover’s Day Celebration Facebook page or enter the day of the event. Anyone taking part will need to line up at the high school’s parking lot by 10 a.m.

Come As You Are! Sunday Worship Service: 10-11 a.m.

CLOVER’S DAY returns Saturday, July 6 with its small town charm on full display with a parade, beer garden, Fun Run, vendor booths, classic and custom car display, live music, buggy rides, and children’s activities including a petting zoo, plus much more. The 11 a.m. parade will feature floats, vintage and classic vehicles and Clover’s Day royalty.

“I’ve lived in Cloverdale my whole life and the parade has been always been something I’ve looked forward to every summer,” Seymour added. “I have enjoyed seeing the range of things in the parade and the people I know.”

Though the parade may be the event’s hallmark, it’s really just the start of the celebration. That fun will get kicked off with the country sounds of Hayseed immediately following the parade as well as the opening of vendors booths, children’s activities and buggy rides. There will also be a classic and custom car display on the north side of town. Those wishing to show a vehicle should call Tom Goodwin at 503-3298345.

Participating merchants and vendors include Istanbul Carpet Bazaar, the Burkhardt Gallery, The Rusty Cow, Meg’s Café, who will host a patio beer garden, The Thomas Goodwin Gallery, Katie’s Korner Café, Central Market, Nestucca Bay Creamery, and others.

And there’ll be treats for children, too, with face painting, a bouncy house, buggy rides and a petting zoo with miniature horses all on the agenda.

Blessing of Fleet attracts large crowd, fetes ceremonial start of fishing season

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Supporters of the dory fleet and the community of Pacific City at large gathered on the beach at Cape Kiwanda on June 8 to pay tribute to the ceremonial start of the 2019 fishing season, to hear prayers for safe travels and to herald the coming season with song.

The ceremony, which kicked off at noon, featured local singer Leslie Griffith belting out the National Anthem and “Amazing Grace,” the Nestucca Boy Scouts, Troop 170, raising the flag and the introduction of Dory Days royalty, which included Grand Marshals Ron and Julie Kellow, Princess Morgan North and Junior Princess Hadley Twigg, who was present for the ceremony.

Prior to turning the ceremony over to local ministers, PCDA co-chair Craig Wenrick credited a portion of the organization’s success to the close relationships the group maintains with county commissioners, state parks, the U.S. Coast Guard, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District and the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

“We work very closely with all of them,” he said. “They’re really all great people, and they support us 100 percent.”

Offering prayers for protection — both spiritual and physical — and words of encouragement were Dan Mason, pastor of Pacific Coast Bible Church, Linton Whittles, pastor of Blaine Community Church; Jim Dierringer, retired Catholic priest; and Randy Winesburgh, who served as pastor of Cloverdale Bap-

Prayers ranged from asking for protection from above to asking God to guide the decisions of those fishing the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

“Father, we thank you for this time here today, and Lord we are just so thankful for this mighty ocean and the bounty that we take out of it,” prayed Whittles. “Father, we just thank you for your provision, and Lord we ask for safety, we ask for wisdom.”

For his part, Winesburgh offered words of encouragement that reminded those fishing the sea that there’s a higher power they can lean on.

“The Bible tells us to trust in the Lord

and lean not on your own understanding — that’s called faith,” he said. “Others may let you down, but the God of all creation will never let you down.”

“Father I pray for each and every person here — those that fish, those that don’t, those that are family to them,” he prayed. “I pray Lord that they might put their trust in you and lean not on their own understanding. Father may you bless these fishermen with a bountiful harvest and safety Lord.”

Dierringer, too, offered up requests for divine protection.

“Give us wisdom to read the surf and the winds and the courage and the strength of will to remain ashore when conditions of launch are adverse,” he prayed. “Give us continual respect for

your creation so we do not waste what we seek and we enjoy our fishing and our companionship here in the Dorymen’s Association. We bless these dories, Lord, and dedicate them to your honor.”

And Mason wrapped up the time of spiritual blessings.

“Father, I do pray for a blessing upon these men and women who venture out into the sea,” he prayed. “God, I pray that as they are out there they would catch a glimpse of your glory through your creation and that you’d keep them safe.”

Following the words of wisdom and prayers, PCDA director Tim Nelson read the names of those on the memorial wall as well as the names of those in the community who have passed in the last year while his daughter Sophie rang a bell in their honor.

And Wenrick paid further tribute to two of those names on the wall that he said hold a special place in the heart of PCDA members.

“Back in 1996, Jerry Buxton and Paul Hanneman decided that the way things are going we needed to get an organization together to preserve the dory fleet,” he said. “Paul Hanneman, he was like a ramrod for this whole thing. He put this all together and kind of pushed us all down the road and got us all involved.

The cause was good, and he promoted it and we are who we are because of the efforts of Jerry Buxton and Paul Hanneman. Out of all those names — they’re all special, but those two are right at the top of the list.”

news&community DEQ issues warning to PCJWSA addressing its past handling of asbestos-containing pipe

Monday, July 22 | 3 – 8 pm Medical Office – Manzanita 10445 Neahkahnie Creek Rd., Manzanita (503) 368-6244

Tuesday, July 23 | 3 – 8 pm Medical Office – Pacific City 38505 Brooten Rd., Pacific City (503) 965-6555

Following its completion of an investigation stemming from an anonymous complaint of the handling and disposal of asbestos-containing material pipes, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued a warning letter to the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority.

The investigation stemmed from complaints in April and May of 2018 that alleged the PCJWSA was removing asbestoscontaining pipe throughout Pacific City and the treatment plant. It was also alleged that the piping was being fragmented and not packaged.

Though no fines or penalties were assessed, DEQ did access three violations: one for OAR 340-248-0270(1), which states “the owner or operator of a facility must have an accredited inspector thoroughly survey the affected facility, or part of the facility where the demolition or renovation operation will occur for the presence of asbestos-containing material, including nonfriable asbestos material; one for OAR 340-248-260(1), which states “except as provided under OAR 340-248-0250, written notification of an asbestos abatement project must be submitted to DEQ on a DEQ-approved form, accompanied by the appropriate fee;” and one for OAR 340-248-0280(5)(a), which states “all asbestos-containing waste material must be deposited as soon as possible by the asbestos waste generator or transporter at a permitted disposal site authorized by DEQ to receive asbestos-containing waste material and operated in accordance with this rule.”

The letter also warns that should PCJWSA repeat the violations, civil penalties could be imposed. In addition, they recommended that the Authority become educated on asbestos requirements, which were updated on Nov. 15, 2018.

The warning letter notes that following a proposal Authority manager Tony Owen made in a June 4, 2019 letter, DEQ has determined that his plan to conduct asbestos surveys and produce asbestos survey reports meets DEQ requirements.

As well, the DEQ noted referenced a May 24, 2018 meeting between DEQ and PCJWSA when the Authority reportedly explained to DEQ that “over the last 20 years there have only been maybe three to five emergency responses to address ACP,” that its “ACP system is in good condition,” that it has “mapped to identify the locations and quantities of ACP,” and that when it has been removed “the ACP was taken out intact and that the resultant nonfriable asbestos-containing waste material was either taken by the subcontractor or placed in the spoils pile located on the water treatment facility property.”

In an interview with the Sun, Owen said that the infractions occurred because the Authority hadn’t realized there were specific DEQ regulations for handling of asbestos-containing material. He said that, though he found tracking down exact

details of each instance impossible, he estimated that the Authority had removed about 20-feet of pipe over the last 20 or so years and didn’t believe that in any instance a pipe section larger than three feet long has been removed. The Authority has not removed any asbestos-containing pipe since 2015. Also, according to Owen, current statute requires that when asbestoscontaining pipe sections larger than three feet are removed, the hiring of an asbestos abatement contractor is required.

“That’s all changed,” he added. “We (now) have new (standard operating procedures) in place, we know what’s supposed to be done, we know how to handle it the way DEQ and OSSHA want us to handle it. We know how to safely and legally bag it up and take it to an approved asbestos disposal site, which Tillamook Transfer Station is now an approved site.

And I have talked with the people up there and said I want to make sure that you guys are approved and they said, ‘Yes, we are.’ If it happens in the future, we will be taking it up there.”

Owen also emphasized that, as evidenced by the above mentioned 2018 meeting with DEQ, once the Authority became aware of the allegations and the lack of following the correct procedures, PCJWSA self-reported their failures in an attempt to correct the failings.

“We called (DEQ) and said, ‘What do we need to do?’” explained PCJWSA Board chair Carolyn McVicker. “We want you to come out, we want to go through the proper procedure, take a look, and figure this whole thing out.”

Owen also said that via PCJWSA’s legal counsel’s communication with DEQ, the Authority learned that the violations didn’t pose any threat to human health or to the environment.

The Authority has also communicated its willingness to help other districts become educated on the proper handling of asbestos-containing pipe.

“We have learned that there are many other districts that do have this level of awareness as to site surveys, and we have offered to be a part of training and education in coordination with (Special Districts of Oregon) and DEQ to help raise the level of awareness,” McVicker said.

“Now that this warning letter is out from DEQ and is public information, we can finally make some contacts and say, ‘Can we do (a) training class?’” added Owen. “Let’s get other water (and sanitary) districts together, and let’s do some training. The list of cities and special districts that have asbestos-cement pipe in the state of Oregon is staggering. Because we’re smaller, not all of the time do we know about some of these regulations. This (is) an opportunity to help other small districts or cities and make sure everything is being done safely and correctly.”

SANDY HANNEMAN shows of a quilt she donated to be auctioned to raise funds for the planned Pacific City Dorymen’s Heritage Museum. The quilt is fashioned out of squares made from past Dory Days t-shirts.

PCDA to auction off donated quilt In their drive to raise funds for the eventual construction of the Pacific City Dorymen’s Heritage Museum, the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association is auctioning off a quilt donated by Sandy Hanneman that is fashioned by squares from past Dory Days t-shirts.

On display at the Pacific City branch of Oregon Coast Bank, the quilt was crafted by Hanneman with the help of quilter Denise Clausen. And now the PCDA is holding a silent auction for the quilt. Bidding will continue through the summer at the bank where those wishing to make a bid can try their luck. The silent auction will remain open until the PCDA’s fall meeting on Aug. 24, when attendees will get their last crack at making a bid.

Hanneman said that she was happy to donate the quilt in memory of her husband, former PCDA co-chair Paul Hanneman.

“Using his shirts for this purpose has been on my list to do for several years and brought back great memories,” she added. “My intent would be for the Heritage Museum Committee to use it in any way they choose to benefit the museum effort.”

“It is a very generous donation,” said PCDA member Dave Larkins. “We are just so grateful to have it donated for our fundraiser. We’re also grateful to have someone like Sandy to help us out. It would make Paul proud.”

VTC forms not-for-profit organization, names new tourism board of directors Next month begins a new phase for Visit Tillamook Coast (VTC), the official tourism organization for Tillamook County. After five years as part of the Economic Development Council (EDC), VTC will become a 501(c)(6) industry organization known as the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) on July 1. A new board of directors will help lead the organization as it develops more destination management objectives.

“The EDC has guided the tourism organization through its start-up and early growth phases, with much success,” said Nan Devlin, executive director of TCVA. “Last year, at the request of Tillamook County Commissioner Bill Baertlein, the EDC agreed that it was time for us to form an organization in line with other county-wide tourism organizations, such as Washington and Lane counties.”

TCVA’s board of directors include board chair Jim Prinzing, CEO of Pelican Brewing and Kiwanda Hospitality; vice chair Valerie Folkema, Garibaldi Marina and Port of Garibaldi commissioner; board secretary Carla Albright, Tillamook County Pioneer Museum; board treasurer Mike Bever, executive vice president of

Tillamook Creamery; David Wiegan, executive director, North County Recreation District (NCRD); Jae Kim, multiproperty lodging owner; Jeff Wong, CS Fishery and Source seafood store; Terri Michel, city manager of Rockaway Beach; Susan Amort, real estate broker and president of Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce; Justin Aufdermauer, executive director of Tillamook Chamber of Commerce; and Chantelle Hylton, co-owner, Salmonberry Saloon.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell, ex-officio board member, will be county liaison.

The business name Visit Tillamook Coast will continue to be used, as it has gained recognition through messaging and for work recognized at the state level.

“Our first order of business is to update our strategic plan and develop additional destination management goals,” said Devlin. “We look forward to collaborating with the community and board of county commissioners to make tourism a thriving and sustainable industry.”

For more information, visit tillamookcoast.com/industry or contact Nan Devlin at nan@tillmookcoast.com.

Adventist Health extends urgent care hours Adventist Health Medical Office Plaza Urgent Care recently expanded its hours to include service on Saturdays, a move officials say was made to meet the growing needs of the community. The change means that Adventist Health now provides urgent care services seven days a week in its effort to ensure convenient access to care for non-life threatening conditions, including a full range of illnesses and injuries that need prompt attention.

According to Adventist Health, the expansion of Saturday access to urgent care means quicker treatment options for families. The facility, located at 1100 Third Street in Tillamook, handles a variety of medical problems that need to be treated right away, but are not considered true emergencies. Symptoms that can be evaluated and treated at an urgent care clinic include: seasonal allergies; minor animal or insect bites; minor asthma attacks; boils, abscesses, and incision drainage; broken bones that aren’t sticking out of skin; small burns; cough, common cold, flu and bronchitis; minor cuts; dental pain; earaches; eye problems; fevers; rashes; sore throats; sprains and strains; and urinary tract infections.

“The daily health and wellbeing of

the communities we serve is our highest priority,” says Gina Seufert, physician and clinic services executive at Adventist Health Tillamook. “The decision to expand urgent care hours to Saturdays addresses convenience and access to care for our local residents and the many visitors who enjoy our beautiful coastal communities. Delivering on our promise of quality care with a team of professionals who inspire health, wholeness, and hope remains our highest priority.”

The Adventist Health Medical Office Plaza Urgent Care hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m-8 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and holidays hours are 10 a.m.6 p.m. Other services provided at the Plaza include primary and specialty care providers such as Cardiology, Family Medicine and Orthopedics.

Founded on Seventh-day Adventist heritage and values, Adventist Health provides compassionate care in 20 hospitals, more than 260 clinics (hospital-based, rural health and physician clinics), 15 home care agencies, seven hospice agencies and four joint-venture retirement centers. In addition, the Adventist Health Plan serves patients in Kings County. Visit AdventistHealth.org for more information.

PACIFIC CITY will have its patriotic fireworks display on July 4 this year, instead of on the same day as Clover’s Day, has it had been in recent years. The fireworks, put on by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce with a $6,500 matching donation from Pelican Brewing, will begin at dusk on the beach at Bob Straub State Park. Those wishing to contribute to the fundraising effort for the display can visit gofundme.com/helpsupportpacificcity2019fireworks or mail a check to the chamber at PO Box 1078, Pacific City, OR 97135.

Refuge hosting series of paddling trips Interested in getting on the water this summer? Want to see the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge from a new vantage point? A series of paddle trips could be just the thing to whet that appetite.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting paddlers to take part in twohour trips that will take participants through the heart of the Refuge and be led by USFWS interpreters who will share information about wildlife and the natural history of the area.

Upcoming trips are Saturday, June 29, 10 a.m.-noon, Sunday, July 7, 4:306:30 p.m., Thursday, July 11, 8:30-10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 7, 4:30-6:30 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 11, 10 a.m.noon.

The paddle will take outdoor recreation enthusiasts alongside Nestucca Bay Refuge pastures and tidal wetlands before entering into the wider Nestucca Bay, just south of Pacific City.

USFWS is billing the paddle trips as an

opportunity to enjoy beautiful vistas and estuarine wildlife. Bald Eagles can be seen nesting in coniferous trees on the Two Rivers Peninsula, and a variety of wildlife including Great Blue Heron, waterfowl, Kingfishers, and Cormorants can be seen along the Little Nestucca River. As well, songbirds twitter in the trees or hide in the grasses along the river’s edge, including Purple Martin, Tree Swallow, Song Sparrow, Marsh Wren, and Pacific-slope Flycatcher.

The paddles are free but preregistration is required. Those interested in registering should contact Lila Bowen at 541-867-4550 or Lilamarie_Bowen@ fws.gov. As Nestucca Bay often experiences unpredictable winds and waves, the paddle is not recommended for beginners. Participants must bring their own boats or rent one from a local outfitter. Kayaks can be rented locally in Pacific City at Nestucca Adventures, by calling 503-965-0060 or visiting nestuccaadventures.com.

PCJWSA Announcement: 6/18/2019 The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) has completed its review of asbestos related procedures and activities of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority (“Authority”). The DEQ completed its review by issuing to the Authority a warning letter on June 7, 2019. A copy of the DEQ’s letter is posted on the Authority’s website. The letter cites three violations of the asbestos regulations for the handling of asbestos containing material and for property owners like the Authority to conduct surveys of their property to identify asbestos containment materials and to notify the DEQ before engaging in asbestos handling projects. The warning letter contains no financial or other penalties.

The Authority stated in a news release in April of 2019 that the DEQ met with the Authority in the summer of 2018. The DEQ interviewed Authority personnel and toured the Authority’s facilities. Promptly after the DEQ’s visit to the Authority, the Authority revised its asbestos handling procedures and submitted those revised procedures to the DEQ. The DEQ approved the revised procedures.

A service of Adventist Health Tillamook RHC/Medical Office Network

Later, in the summer of 2018, the Authority completed a pre-construction survey of the administration and FEB buildings. The final step in the Authority’s process to comply with the DEQ’s requirements happened on June 13, 2019 with the final survey of the Authority’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the Horn Creek water treatment plant (WTP). The survey satisfied the DEQ’s final requirements for the Authority at this time. A copy of the final report of the survey will be submitted to DEQ. Authority Manager Tony Owen noted that, “The survey went well at both locations and was very thorough. There were no major concerns that developed from the survey. In addition to the survey, the consultant is also reviewing the new SOPs and will comment if changes are necessary.”

The Authority water system includes approximately 107,000 feet of water mains and customer service lines. Approximately 12.8% of that pipe contains asbestos. Water pipe that contains asbestos is commonly used in water systems throughout Oregon and elsewhere in the United States. The pipe is primarily made of cement.

The asbestos is added in a small amount to improve the strength and longevity of the pipe. Asbestos has not been detected in the Authority’s water system.

Importantly, the DEQ concluded that the Authority’s activities did not pose any threat to human health or to the environment. Authority Board Chair Carolyn McVicker added, “The Authority’s commitment to the community, its employees and the environment has been confirmed. We thank DEQ for their time and input toward improving our processes.”
