OPAC says no to ocean energy at Nestucca Bay; now it’s up to DLCD

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he likelihood of an ocean energy development off the coast of Pacific City and Neskowin took a dip on Jan. 4 when Oregon’s Ocean Policy Advisory Council voted to recommend moving the classification of a proposed two square mile site located south of the mouth of Nestucca Bay from a Renewable Energy Facility Suitability Study Area, which would be the least restrictive to any development, to a Resources and Uses Management Area.

The recommendation, which will be forwarded to the Department of Land Conservation and Development, also asked that DLCD drop proposed sites in Netarts and Langlois. They recommended DLCD adopt proposed sites at Camp Rilea, Lakeside and Reedsport. No specific recommendations were made on the remainder of the sites under consideration, but OPAC is submitting the results of an up-or-down vote on each of the proposed REFSSA sites. DLCD is scheduled to begin its rule-making process on the issue on Jan. 24 at the DLCD Office Basement Hearing Room, 635 Capitol St. NE, Salem.

The decision came at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in North Bend. OPAC had been charged with coming up with its own set of recommendations independent of earlier Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee advice to LCDC. On Dec. 19, TSPAC stopped short of giving an up-or-down vote on preferred sites, instead choosing to stop at ranking the sites. In that ranking, the Nestucca site was on the bubble as it was ranked in the middle of sites under consideration — a much different picture than this more recent recom-

mendation by OPAC. The full OPAC recommendation supported the inclusion of Camp Rilea (but more limited than original proposal), Reedsport and Lakeside.

The group had less to say about the remaining five sites, though they did submit the results of their own straw poll vote to DLCD, a vote that put OPAC’s own preference down on record, based on their 11 voting members in attendance, who voted on whether they would like to see each area with a REFSSA designation. In order of preference, the results were: Lakeside, revised (11 yes votes); Camp Rilea, alternate (9); Reedsport, alternate (8); Gold Beach (6); OPT Reedsport, full build out (5); North Newport (3); Nearshore Reedsport (3); Camp Rilea, original proposal, (3); Camp Rilea, original proposal (3); Langlois (1); Nestucca (1); and Netarts (0).

Translation: if you take into account that the Netarts site was offered up as an alternative to the Nestucca site, the Pacific City area up for consideration was the least preferred area for development — though the Nestucca site tied with Langlois with just one vote in favor of its designation as a REFSSA, one voting member apparently did not vote against that site as Langlois received nine no votes and Nestucca 10 no votes.

TSPAC committee member David Yamamoto, in a Jan. 8 update to the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, speculated that the difference between the OPAC and TSPAC recommendations may have been due to the entirely different makeup of the two groups. He noted that TSPAC, a group that included many representatives from the ocean energy industry, allowed everyone to vote, while OPAC

Statistics indicate that one in six women and one in 19 men have been

voting members are limited to those put on that board by the state.

Before coming to a decision, OPAC heard from numerous members of the public. With comments on the loss of fishing grounds already on record, Pacific City Dorymen’s Association cochair Paul Hanneman focused on the navigation issues that a ocean energy development off of Nestucca Bay could bring.

“The combination of the marine reserves (and protected area on the southwest of the channel (and) jutting out in the ocean with a wave energy facility on the northwest side of the channel (would) create a severe obstruction to coastal navigation.”

Even if DLCD does adopt the OPAC recommendations, that does not preclude ocean energy development at “The Home of the Dory Fleet” — but it does make it less likely. According to the OPAC recommendations, the Nestucca site would be classified as a Resources and Uses Management Area, which would still allow development but would carry with it more stringent requirements in the approval stage.

Additional OPAC action included approval of the visual resource inventory management protocols, saying that designated “special areas” in the viewshed analysis should be those with a score of 24 or more for scenic quality evaluation. They also approved the concept of flexible siting for marine renewable energy with a cap of five percent of the territorial sea area for REFFSSAs, as well as a plan to cap marine renewable energy at each of the state’s three deep water ports to one-third of total buildout. They also voted, 9-2, to support a 2 percent cap of the total territorial sea for ocean energy development.

NEWS & COMMUNITY Owen to update community on sewer projects at Jan. 21 CPAC meeting

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

P

acific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority manager Tony Owen will give an update on a variety of water and sewer issues — including the Pacific Avenue sewer pump station project — during a Jan. 21 talk at the Pacific CityWoods CPAC meeting held at Kiawanda Community Center. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m.

Owen told the Sun that the sewer pump station, which PCJWSA is building to replace an aging 30-year-old facility beset with flooding problems, is currently behind schedule, but that he hopes to have a partial start-up by Jan. 18. It will be early February before the station workers can fully start-up and test the pumps, and another week to 10 days before it’s fully operational. Originally bid at a cost of $948,095, PCJWSA had negotiated the price down to $875,000, but now, Owen estimates, the project will be back over the $900,000 mark.

With a capacity for three pumps, the station is initially being outfitted with two pumps, each with the ability to pump 900 gallons per minute.

That’s more than double the capacity of the old system, which were maxed out at between 375 and 400 gallons per minute. The new facility will also feature an automatic generator that will activate in the event of power failure. Owen said that will free up a generator to keep other facilities online when things go

The Road to a Smooth Ride

Residents point to ‘sharing the cost’ as a way to fund road improvements

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

f there was one common theme to community feedback elicited during three forums hosted by the Tillamook County Citizens Road Committee — it was that those visiting their county should pay their fair share.

Representatives kicked off the forum series, which was held on three consecutive nights, with a Jan. 7 meeting in Pacific City, which turned out to be the best attended of the three — both the North County (Jan. 8) and Tillamook (Jan. 9) meetings recorded approximately 30-40 attendees while about 60 residents participated at the forum at Kiawanda Community Center.

The committee started out the meeting updating the community on a proposal to go for a $15 million bond measure to address a county road system that has been repeatedly singled out as the worst in the state. If TCCRC goes forward with the proposal — and county commissioners approve its place on the ballot — it would be the fourth time since 1999 that voters would have had a chance to support the road system through property taxes. In that time, bond measures have been threetime losers, with the closest election coming in November 2011 when voters narrowly defeated (53 to 47 percent) a $15 million bond measure that would have cost taxpayers $0.46 per $1,000 of assessed value (an estimated $0.41 at the end of the 10-year bond). Though organizers are once again proposing asking for a $15 million bond, this time around the proposal would come with a couple twists, the first of which is a cheaper rate thanks to low interest rates. The second change would be to purchase the bonds in two separate sales. According to TCCRC chair Jon Carnahan, this will be beneficial for two reasons — one, purchasing bonds in lower amounts lowers the interest rate and thus the cost to taxpayers, and two, because of a law requiring 85 percent of bond

sales to be spent in the first 36 months, purchasing two bonds would allow the road department to spread out the improvements. He said it was feared that it could turn taxpayers sour if they saw no more improvements after the first three years. And that’s why the group would like to purchase half the bonds in 2013 and the other half in 2018. The average cost of the bond is estimated to be $0.36 per $1,000 of assessed value. Another reason for optimism is the fact that bonds for the county jail and Tillamook County Hospital will expire within two and half years.

Together taxpayers are being levied for $0.41 per $1,000 of assessed value for those bonds.

Still, even if a $15 million bond were approved, it would be significant-

ly short of the $40 million it is estimated it would cost to bring our roads up to date. And that fits hand in glove with the community’s desire to spread the pain. Methods under discussion for taxing the tourists and coming up with more of the needed funds to make the roads safe include a transient room tax and a seasonal sales tax on food and beverages.

At the Pacific City meeting, a common theme was that they could support a bond, but would prefer it be bundled with other revenue sources — such as a TRT or seasonal sales tax — a “cafeteria” plan if you will.

Kiwanda Hospitality president Jeremy Strober said that given that statistics have shown that the top grossing

service for Oregon Coast visitors is the food and beverage industry, a seasonal sales tax on restaurants could make sense — provided neighboring communities also came on board.

“It would affect locals, but at 2 percent it may be tolerable,” he said.

And Dan Biggs, executive director of the Economic Development Council of Tillamook County, is investigating a range of proposals with the goal of putting something together in time for a November 2013 measure. He estimates that a TRT would bring in $1.4-1.5 million, 70 percent of which would have to be spent on tourism. That would leave between $400,000 and $500,000 a year to use on roads, he said.

“This ‘cafeteria’ plan is pretty interesting. I think we can pass a bond measure for the roads.

I think we’ll be able to pass a TRT tax and I think there’s a possibility of a seasonal sales tax,” Biggs said.

But while many TCCRC members feel these could provide crucial financial support to roads, Carnahan stressed the bond measure has to come first. The fear here is that an approval of an alternative means of funding that predated a Biggs bond measure would kill any chance it would have of passing.

The other issue that makes both a TRT and seasonal sales tax questionable is neighboring coastal counties.

The point is to avoid a situation where Clatsop and Lincoln Counties have an advantage.

“The issue with a sales tax and some of the other taxes is we have to compete with Clatsop and Lincoln Counties,” said Carnahan. “I’ve suggested we ought to look at (creating) a coastal caucus (to create a coast-wide tax).”

The committee is already in fund driving mode as it looks forward to an election in May. Contributions can be sent to: Tillamook County Citizens Road Committe, P.O. Box 983, Tillamook, OR 97141.

he public is invited to Tillamook County Historical Society’s annual dinner and meeting, Sunday, Jan. 27 when the society will focus on WWII history. The meeting starts at 2 p.m. at the Officers Mess Hall at the Port of Tillamook Bay. The theme will be the WWII era. Gary Albright has agreed to bring the two giant record books from the Museum. These books, assembled in the early 1940s, were intended to recognize every person from Tillamook County who served in WWII. For most, there is a photo and a military and a family history. Those whose loved one is not in this book, can contact the museum to be included. Ruby Fry Matson at the Pioneer Museum has the proper forms.

The newly renovated Officers Mess Hall provides plenty of parking and easy access. Drive onto Blimp

Blvd, then veer left to Officer’s Row and follow to the Mess Hall, previously the Superintendent’s Offices.

This year, the Historical Society will be voting to change the bylaws from the traditional fourth Monday evening of January to a January Sunday afternoon. They will also be voting on new officers. Those interested in serving on the board can contact current president Karen Hirte.

Cost for the 2 p.m. dinner, which will be catered by Pacific Restaurant, is $15. A brief meeting will follow the meal followed by the night’s speaker.

The meeting is open to the public — you do not have to be a member of the Historical Society to attend, but they are asking for advance reservations. Call Sally Rissel at 503-965-6973 or Diane Colcord at 503-8158477 by Jan. 22.

TRIO SOLISTI, comprised of Alexis Pia Gerlach, Maria Bachmann, and Jon Klibonoff (l-r), will bring their seamless ensemble talents to the Neskowin Chamber Music Series Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Chapel at Camp Winema.

6-8 p.m.

An Enthusiastic Ensemble Trio Solisti to bring their energetic sounds to Chapel at Camp Winema on Jan. 27

H

ailed as “the most exciting piano trio in America” By The New Yorker magazine, Trio Solisti will take their soulful and passionate virtuosity to the Oregon Coast when they perform Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Chapel at Camp Winema, located on Wi-Ne-Ma Road off of Highway 101, about three miles north of Neskowin. The concert, which starts at 3 p.m., is part of the Neskowin Chamber Music Series.

The group will also perform an outreach presentation on Monday, Jan. 28 at 8:30 a.m. at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School, 34660 Parkway Dr., Cloverdale.

Comprised of violinist Maria Bachmann, cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach and pianist Jon Klibonoff, the trio is now in its 11th year of wowing audiences and critics, too. Amongst their seemingly unending string of accolades is praise from noted critic, Terry Teachout, who wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the Trio has “succeeded the Beaux Arts Trio as the outstanding chamber-music ensemble of its kind.”

Qualities that include virtuosity, electric energy, seamless ensemble playing, and thrilling abandon have also elicited praise from journals such as the Washington Post, which penned that the trio exhibited “unrelenting passion and zealous abandon in a transcendent performance.”

Performing a broad spectrum of styles, their versatility extends to new music, most notably to the work of Paul Moravec who composed his 2004 Pulitzer Prize-winning work, “Tempest Fantasy,” for Trio Solisti. The trio has made critically acclaimed debuts at The Kennedy Center, in New York City for Lincoln Center’s Great Performers Series and at Town Hall’s Peoples’ Symphony Concerts, the Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts, as guests of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, at Seattle’s Meany Hall, La Jolla’s Revelle series, and have performed in Canada and Italy. The 2012-13 season highlights include the release of Trio Solisti’s new CD of Dvorak Trios on Bridge Records. Their performances across the country include great master-

works of Beethoven, Chausson, Dvorak, Ravel and Mussorgsky as well as several premieres.

The Arizona Friends of Chamber Music in Tucson have commissioned Lowell Lieberman to write a piano trio for Trio Solisti, which they will premiere this year.

With a rapidly growing discography, Trio Solisti has garnered high praise for their recordings. “Cafe Music,” based on the title of Paul Schoenfield’s popular trio, was released on Bridge in May 2009.

Other recordings by Trio Solisti include “Brahms Trios” for Marquis Classics, about which Strad Magazine said “Trio Solisti plays this glorious music with rare commitment and insight — the freeflowing adrenaline has one on the edge of one’s seat as it might at a first rate concert performance.” “Tempest Fantasy,” a CD of music by Paul Moravec on NAXOS American Classics, includes the world-premiere recording of Moravec’s 2004 Pulitzer winning work “Tempest Fantasy” with guest clarinetist David Krakauer.

The trio’s members also perform with orchestras. In 2010, Klibonoff performed Shostakovich’s “2nd Piano Concerto” with the Virginia Symphony, and Beethoven’s “4th Piano Concerto in G major” with the Buffalo Philharmonic with conductor JoAnne Falletta. Bachmann performed Philip Glass’s “Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra” with the Netherlands’ Orchestra of the Hague.

Trio Solisti has also appeared on the nationally broadcast radio show “St. Paul Sunday” and has been featured on NPR’s “Performance Today” in numerous live performances from around the U.S. They have been presented in multi-concert series at the famed Morgan Library and are currently in residence at Adelphi University in New York.

Admission options include season tickets, available for $110, and single tickets, payable in advance and on a limited basis, for $25 per concert. Individual tickets are also available at the door for $25, but people need to call to get on a waiting list. For more information, visit, www.neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-965-6499.

THE REDBERG FARM, found in the bottom land near the mouth of the Little Nestucca in the fields now filled with geese, features moist land that was perfect for growing beets.

Marching to the Beet Field beets were once a common way to feed cattle

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

T

he first time I saw this picture of the farm truck filled with these giant plants, I wanted to find out what they were and what they were used for. After talking to a couple of local farmers, I learned how they were used.

These plants are called field beets and were grown to feed to cows for their nutrient content over the winter. They are not very eatable for human consumption as they are pretty tasteless and grainy. It was hard to have enough hay to feed the cows over the winter and hauling in hay from the valley was expensive and difficult.

The practice of using beets and other root vegetables to feed cows began in Europe more than 600 years ago and the practice came west with immigrant dairy farmers who settled here.

Cows were let out into the field to first forage on the beet tops, and then the beets were harvested by a plow in back of a horse or dug by hand. They were stored in barns or special sheds and had to be broken up with a flat shovel or beet slicing machine because cows couldn’t bite into their large size.

FISHING & OUTDOORS

Just Get Out There!

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

W

hat did we ever do before computers? Remember the days before computers? (Some of you don’t.) You know, those simple carefree days when you had to pull your head from under the covers to see what was happening. The very first time I fished the Nestucca River was in 1967 when I was a senior in high school. It was February and my uncle Gabe had called and asked if I would be interested in heading over to fish the Nestucca River for winter steelhead. We were going to go the back way through Carlton to fish the upper river and some of his newly found favorite holes. I immediately said “yes,” and the next morning we met up early at his house — I think around 4 a.m.

Going fishing with my uncle was always a treat and always a learning experience. You see, he was one of those blessed fishermen who could catch a fish from the mud puddle in your front yard, or at least that was how the legend went. I never actually saw him do that, but based on my other observances, I believe it was true. Uncle Gabe would always catch the first fish, the biggest fish, and the most fish wherever we went.

I learned early on not to take part in any pools or bets with him unless I just wanted to give my money away.

One of the most valuable lessons I learned was you can’t catch a fish sitting at home. We never had NOAA to consult for river levels, or computers to dial up fishing reports — we just climbed in the car and went. When we got to the appointed destination, we adjusted our tactics to whatever conditions we found.

In the winter, my uncle was a spinner fisherman and so that was how we fished. I had lots of experience fishing spinners in lots of different steelhead waters.

That day we arrived at the first hole on the upper Nestucca, Uncle Gabe noted the water was high and a bit off color, but we had come all that way and we were going fishing. We walked into the first hole, and I let him select his spot and watched as he made his first cast. I immediately said to myself: “Why did he make that cast, clean out of a good run and into a soft spot in the water. Maybe it was just a ‘first cast’ miss.” I made my first cast into what I thought would be a likely spot, and the water was so fast I blew right through it. I knew that was a wasted cast so I tried an angle a little higher up and a little closer. Again my lure blew right through it. I tried several different casts, different angles, all aimed at getting into that drift that seemed so tantalizing. Not only could it not be

done, but I soon realized the presentation I was making was never going to get a strike.

I had been observing my uncle fishing water I knew he would never consider under normal conditions. What the heck, my next cast was a little beyond the run I was trying to work and into some softer water just down stream. I let the current take my lure down and across the river, and I just let it hang there and watched it slowly approach the river bank about 40 feet below me. With my hand on the reel, as the lure got about two feet from the bank I was just about to retrieve the spinner when, wham, the rod went sideways and a beautiful winter steelhead came full on out of the water, into the air and spit my lure right back at me. I could hear my uncle with that laugh of his and that grin only he could give. I realized I had just learned another valuable lesson from Uncle Gabe.

He was never a teacher in the traditional sense, he never sat down and said this is what you do or this is how you should approach this or that. No, Uncle Gabe taught by example and a laugh and that dumb grin of his that let you know he saw that. At the end of the day, there were plenty of stories to rehash, the fish that got away — always a giant — the ones that we caught, and sometimes a fish story that would get told on trips to come. We always had fun, laughs, and a whole lifetime of great memories. Uncle Gabe passed away several years ago and it has been at least 15 years since we last fished together. Still, I am thankful every day that we didn’t have NOAA or computers that might have changed our decisions or spoiled the days we fished together. Yes, there were times that we got blown out. I remember one adventure to the Wilson River. When we arrived it was so high and muddy there was no hope. What did we do? Well, we drove on down to Alice’s Restaurant, had a great breakfast, told some stories and then turned the car around and drove all the way back, four hours, to the upper Colowash river, in the upper Clackamas system and proceeded to catch our limits of steelhead. No computers, no river graphs, just fun, laughs and good times to remember. I truly feel sorry for those fishermen who live and die by river predictions, some of the best times and learning experiences I ever had, were by today’s standards, times most would likely have stayed at home.

Anyone can fish in perfect water, but you know what, when the water isn’t perfect, the fish don’t leave and go somewhere, they are still there and will still bite — you just need to figure out how to be a better fisherman, and balderdash to the computers.

NESTUCCA STUDENTS Morgan Kirkpatrick and Bailey Branscum (l-r), exit the district’s new 72-passenger school bus. The district took delivery of the new bus on Jan. 9. Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School principal Randy Wharton says the $113,398 bus offers greater leg room and that it should be able to haul the football team and all its gear, cancelling out the previous need to bring a second vehicle along on road trips.

Big and Yellow District adds to fleet with new 72-passenger school bus

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he children of the Nestucca Valley School District now have some shiny new wheels to travel to and from school with!

On Wednesday, Jan. 9, the district took delivery of a new Bluebird school bus from Western Bus, of Boring, Ore. The $113,398 vehicle represents the districts efforts to bring life back to an aging fleet. Though based on a 78-passenger frame and cab, the new bus was configured with seating for 72 to allow for better legroom. It also features an underneath pass-through luggage compartment, a feature that Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High principal Randy Wharton says should give the football team enough room to haul all their gear. Up until now, the district had to take a bus, plus a gear-

laden pickup or SUV to each road game.

According to Wharton, the district opted for a more basic model, though they did pay for two options — automatic chains and three video cameras.

School superintendent Kathryn Hedrick said similar buses typically cost between $110,000 and $140,000.

Wharton added that the new vehicle is an important first step in maintaining a safe and reliable fleet.

Currently each of the school’s 10 buses — eight full size, six of which operate daily — are between nine and 12 years old. The industry standard is to replace school buses once they have 15 years of service under their belt. With that in mind, Wharton said he hopes to purchase a second new bus within a year or two, depending on budget decisions by the board of directors.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Dean Aplin, children and their spouses Linda and Garry Link, Mike and Kathy Aplin, Mary Jones and Jeff Schons, Diana and Adam Henley; grandchildren Nick and Katey Bosworth, Wyatt Link, Peter Schons, and Ross and Cole Henley; and her sister and brother-in-law Betty and John Davis.

Dorothy Aplin Dorothy enjoyed sewing, reading, music, and being out on the water in any kind of boat. Dorothy and Dean lived aboard a 50-foot motor yacht for five years of their retirement, which was one of the big adventures that she treasured. She also loved living on the riverfront in Pacific City, where she lived for eight years, and delighted in taking road trips with husband Dean.

Dorothy found joy in working in the Special Education Department at Aloha Park Elementary School, where she worked for 22 years, retiring in 1996. She made many longtime friends at Aloha Park and greatly enjoyed working with her young students.

‘Cats lose again, face Gaston on Jan. 12

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

T

he Nestucca Bobcats basketball team is fighting to stay focused. With an overall record of 2-11, each game has become a psychological challenge. Head coach Jim Kiser is struggling to keep his team from losing the game before they ever hit the court.

The ‘Cats played Vernonia on Tuesday, Jan. 8, losing by 15 points, 38-53. Many of the games the team has played have been close, they know the plays according to Kiser, but they are struggling during the first half of the game. They are coming out cold.

In earlier action, Nestucca lost a Jan. 4 contest vs. the Portland Christian Royals, 60-35.

“It was close until the second quarter, they scored the last 5-6 points of the half

Wrestlers show their muscle T

he Nestucca Bobcats wrestling team went to the Bob Bishop Invitational Tournament in Willamina Jan. 5. Sixteen teams participated in the tournament.

The team hosted Tillamook, Stayton and Santiam in a duel tournament on Jan 3.

“We defeated Stayton and Santiam and lost to Tillamook,” head coach Cameron Mitchem. “We had some strong individual performances and are showing lots of improvement as a team.”

and led 26-18 at halftime,” Kiser said. “We got outscored 21-8 in the third quarter. They shot 30 free throws which was pretty much the game right there.”

Derek Wenrick led the game with 9 points, the coach said.

The team traveled to Neah-Kah-Nie for the Driftwood Classic on Dec. 28. They played Neah-Kah-Nie on the first day of the tournament and lost 36-28. According to Kiser the team “played sloppy and didn’t make many shots.”

The second day of the tournament the ‘Cats played Tillamook’s junior varsity team and lost 60-44. Though Kiser believes the team played well, he admits that they struggled because “a couple of Tillamook’s varsity swingers killed us.”
