PALE ALE

We give a lot of love to the sunsets out here on the coast, but a good coastal sunrise is really something special. With a bold malt character coming from Oregon-malted rye, an earthy and floral hop aroma, and notes of pumpernickel and slight rustic spice, Skyryze pale ale is an ode to these sensory overloaded experiences.

THE TUESDAY STITCHERS will host their inaugural sale as part of Tillamook County’s Quilt Month when they open the doors at Kiawanda Community Center to quilt fans at “Quilt Explosion” on Saturday, Oct. 19.

THE EVENT, which was renamed “Roktoberfest” this year in a nod to Pacific City’s famed Haystack Rock, featured the musical talents of pianist Brenna Sage, together with accordionist Dick Anderson and his son Todd, on bass. And DJ Charles Wayne spun his share of celebratory tunes, too.

BANK FISHING ENTHUSIASTS have a new spot they can toss a line in their quest to bring home a trophy from along the Nestucca Bay. Earlier this month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service opened its second new bank fishing facility at the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The new bank fishing spot is accessed by hiking the Two River Peninsula Nature Trail, a 1.2-mile hike from the upper parking lot at the Refuge.

The bank fishing spot can be accessed by hiking to the trail’s picnic area, then taking the approximately 0.3-mile hike to the Nestucca Bay bank. USFWS is advising those taking advantage of the new bank fishing spot to be aware of changing tides. They are also reminding both anglers and hikers to pack out what they pack in as trash — especially monofilament fishing line — which can be harmful to fish and wildlife. For more information, call 541-867-4550 or visit fws.gov/refuge/nestucca_bay/.

Pioneer Museum, Oregon Humanities teaming up for Bridging Oregon series The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is partnering with Oregon Humanities in inviting people living along Oregon’s North Coast to apply to take part in Bridging Oregon, a series of four half-day gatherings during which participants will explore real and perceived divides in the region to work toward a stronger, more resilient and trusting community. A limited amount of spaces are available and those wanting to participate are asked to fill out an application which will them be reviewed by Oregon Humanities and those selected will be notified.

The conversations will be held on four Sunday afternoons: Nov. 3, Nov. 17, Dec. 1, and Dec. 15. Each threehour session will run 1-4 p.m. The November meetings will take place at the Garibaldi Maritime Museum with the December gathering at the Astoria Public Library.

The meetings will be led by Oregon Humanities facilitators, and build on one another depending on Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • October 11, 2019

what participants discuss as they consider the ways they are divided and what bridges those divides. Participants may have small assignments between meetings and should come prepared to share their personal experiences and perspectives related to the North Coast region in order to deepen relationships and trust between one another over the course of the series. Facilitators will engage the group around ways they might build off the experience in their personal lives and communities after the series concludes. The organization is asking that all participants commit to attending all four meetings.

There is no fee to participate in the program but participants will have the option to receive a stipend of up to $100 per session to offset the implicit costs of participation, such as gas or childcare.

To learn more about the program and apply, visit the Oregon Humanities’ website at oregonhumanities. org.

news&community Bianca’s Deli to bring their abstract soundscapes to Thomas Goodwin Gallery on Sunday, Oct. 20 Thomas Goodwin Gallery will present a free live performance of abstract soundscapes by Bianca’s Deli, Sunday, Oct. 20, 3-6 p.m., at its downtown Cloverdale location, 34380 Highway 101 South.

Bianca’s Deli features sound artists Scott Eave on electric guitar and multiinstrumentalist Jerry Soga. As part of the event, local poet Julius Jortner will read from his poetic works with the sounds of Bianca’s Deli providing the backdrop.

Soga, who describes the duo’s music as “soundscape,” says that together they offer improvisational, all-original sounds that will draw inspiration from nature. And in the case of the Oct. 20 performance, from Goodwin’s abstract paintings.

Soga, who also played here in 2018, told the Sun that he’s looking forward to a return engagement at Goodwin’s gallery.

“I like his paintings a lot,” he said. “I like the space. It’s warm.”

“I know that some people find my

paintings inspirational for different reasons,” said gallery owner Thomas Goodwin. “A lot of times, the abstract work I do is similar to the music they play.

When we start, we don’t have anything particular in mind, but we start making the sounds or putting paint on canvas in a way that is enjoyable to listen to and to see and to share.”

Soga also says those attending often leave having enjoyed something new.

“It’s going to be a different experience for most people, and, hopefully, they’ll enjoy it,” he said.

Goodwin said that he likes hosting events such as the Bianca’s Deli performance as an outreach to the town.

“I like hosting these events because Cloverdale is such a diverse community and getting these people together to share the experience of intimacy and growth in the community just feels good,” he said.

For more information about the live soundscape performance, call 503-3298345.

Residents urged to participate in Drug Take-back Day Tillamook County will be participating in the national Drug Take-back Day on Saturday, Oct. 26. The event will be free and will be held at the Tillamook Community Health Center (801 Pacific Ave., Tillamook) from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Residents may leave medicines in their original containers but should remove or mark out personal information. All medicines will be accepted at this event, from over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to restricted prescription drugs.

Sharps will also be accepted at this event. Sharps — needles, syringes — must be fully contained in red plastic sharps containers and separated from drugs.

“Unused pharmaceuticals pose a risk to both the environment and public health and safety,” says David McCall, manager of the Tillamook County Solid

Waste Program. “These drugs can contaminate water sources and marine life, since their components can often pass through wastewater filtration systems.

The goal of this collection is to get and keep abused drugs from getting into the wrong hands or from being disposed of incorrectly. We are organizing this collection event in coordination with community partners, and we are fortunate that we have our local Sheriff’s office that collects these same unwanted medicines year-round. We hope that this special collection will raise awareness of the need to dispose of unwanted medicines properly.”

More information on this and other programs can be found by visiting co.tillamook.or.us/gov/SolidWaste or by contacting the Solid Waste Department at 503-815-3975 or via email at recycle@ co.tillamook.or.us

TRAFFIC SPEED on a portion of Brooten Road in Pacific City was a topic of concern raised by resident Robert Kehler at the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Oct. 1 meeting.

Fast traffic causes concerns Resident proposes lowering speed limit on Brooten Road

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

Back to school special Refresh your skin after a summer outside with 20% off chemical peels.

Regular peel price is $100. Not valid with any other offers, specials or gift certificates already purchased.

f you ask Pacific City resident Robert Kehler, a visit to the Oregon Coast shouldn’t be about how fast you can get there or how speedily you can make your exit. No, says Kehler, getting to and from safely matters, too. And that goes for both the driver and those impacted by his or her commute.

Kehler shared his concerns about how fast cars are traveling along Brooten Road during the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting on Oct. 1.

Noting the speed limit of 40 mph that exists from just south of the boat ramp until after a bridge over the canal, he said cars are just going too fast, and, in doing so, creating hazards for not only area residents along that stretch but also for boaters trying to leave the boat ramp area safely.

“You’ve got to pull out slowly out of the launch area,” he said. “With traffic going around (the corner) there, I’ve had some very close calls myself. Basically, you’re counting on them to slow down before they hit you.”

He also expressed concerns with the intersection between Brooten Road and Fisher Road.

“You have to slow way down — I mean 25 or less — just to make that turn,” he said. “I look in the mirror all the time, and I go: ‘Is this guy behind me going to see that I have to slow for this turn?’ Even with the turn signal on, they come right up on you. It’s scary at times.”

He said it is with those concerns in mind that he’d like to petition the county to lower the speed limit. He said he was hoping for the Chamber to support his effort through a letter of support.

“I’d like to see the actual speed limit at 25 mph, reduced to 25 mph right at that turn just before the boat ramp,” he said. “It might sound like 25 mph is kind of extreme, but most people when they

see 25, that means 30, or faster. Even if we get them to go 30 mph, that would save a lot of wildlife and take a lot of hazards away.”

Also at the meeting was Tillamook County Sheriff Jim Horton, who said he would support a reduced speed limit in that area.

“This is an ongoing concern,” Horton said. “It’s not a new problem. I’ve personally witnessed that problem going through that end of Pacific City. All of our deputies are aware of this. I wouldn’t oppose a speed change from the Sheriff’s Office point of view in that section (of Pacific City).”

That said, it’s not a simple process, countered Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity, who says a speed limit change request, after getting approval from Public Works, must face ODOT’s transportation commission and its scientific approach to speed limits.

He said following a recommendation from Public Works, ODOT will determine whether they want to do a traffic study. “(If they do), they’ll come down here and review the speeds,” Laity said. “At that point, they’ll make a recommendation to the five people that sit on the transportation commission, (who may) make a board order to establish a new speed limit.”

Laity did note that the 40 mph speed limit that currently exists is a result of a previous board order by the transportation commission.

“You can write letters all you want but that’s completely useless, quite frankly,” he added. “That falls on deaf ears because it’s purely based on a scientific approach. It’s not based on everybody’s desires. The process is very formal and structured.”

Chamber Board member Doug Olson said the group will discuss the matter again at the November meeting, at which time they may decide whether to support the proposal or not.

he 37th annual Neskowin Valley School Harvest Festival had sunny skies and record earnings.

“This was our biggest and best year yet,” said organizer Beth Venti. “We exceeded last year by a few thousand dollars. Obviously the weather helped, but the amazing efficiency of the silent auction, selling reusable cups and having more people participating as a team really helped.”

Though there was still a bit of accounting to be done by press time, a safe estimate is that the A DRESS UP BOOTH was amongst the fun fundraiser, run by parents of school attractions at NVS’s annual Harvest Festival, attendees to help pay for the cost which is the organization’s largest fundraiser of tuition, raised between $25,000 of the year. Another crowd favorite is a cider and $27,000 after expenses. press operated by Gordon Whitehead.

“This was my first year running it, and it was amazing how many people stepped in to help,” Venti said. “We have a lot of new families that are very involved and our enrollment is quite high right now, so there is a lot of energy.”

The energy also had a lot to do with additional participation by students.

“This was the first year in 37 that the kids had such a big part of the event,” Venti said. “I really Venti said. “The combo of he and George wanted to get the kids on the stage this is great.” year and it was great.”

Officials optimistic about plan for 2020 Reach the Beach Safety officials continued to signal optimism over a compromise with organizers of the Reach the Beach bicycle ride as they shared an update over 2020 plans with members of the Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce at the group’s Oct. 1 meeting.

As reported in the Sept. 27 edition of the Sun, representatives from American Lung Association of Oregon, which is the beneficiary of the annual fundraiser, and officials from Tillamook County agreed that rather than traveling on Brooten Road through downtown to reach its finish line at Cape Kiwanda, the last leg would be routed via Resort Drive, Woods Bridge, Sand Lake Road and McPhilips Drive on its way to the Cape.

“They were very open to the concerns that people in Pacific City had about the route and really expressed their desire to continue the event,” Tillamook County Sheriff Jim Horton told the Chamber membership. “(Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Chief Jim Oeder) and I expressed our position and the fact that we want to support what the citizens in Pacific City want. We felt their efforts and consideration about rerouting this would address a lot of issues in town. Next year (will) be a bit of a test bed to see if that resolved some of the concerns for the downtown businesses and things. They were very attentive to the concerns. We did our best to explain our positions, (which were) public safety oriented.”

Public comment sought for defintion changes to ATV classes Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is accepting public comments on a proposed change to Oregon Administrative Rule language defining class IV ATV’s. During the 2019 legislative session, state lawmakers voted to change the definition to increase the width and weight of vehicles classified as class IV ATV’s. An administrative rule change is necessary to reflect the change in state law.

Under the new law and proposed rule, class IV ATV’s are defined as weighing 2,500 pounds or less and measuring 80 inches wide or less.

OPRD will accept public comments on the proposed change through 5 p.m.,

Oct. 31. Comments can be made online at oregon.gov/oprd/RULES/Pages/ Rulemaking%20Notices.aspx, in writing at Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, attn. Katie Gauthier, 725 Summer St. NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301, or via email at OPRD.publiccomment@ oregon.gov.

After reviewing public comments, OPRD staff plan to present a final recommended rule for consideration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission at its November 2019 or February 2020 business meeting.

parking lot and for using the beach access ramp is $4 a day. An annual pass is also an option. According to the plan, it’s estimated the pay-to-park program will raise more than $1 million annually that could be used to help maintain and improve the lot, the ramp and other public parking facilities.

The plan also outlines parking enforcement recommendation, which, it says, may require the use of officers from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, a move that could be paid for with funds from the pay-to-park program.

Also identified in phase 1 of the plan are ways to create new parking supply. Suggestions include reconfiguring existing parking facilities, establishing remote parking areas, and defining roadway shoulders to more clearly distinguish available parking. Reconfiguration recommendations revolve around eliminating open spaces to create more efficient parking, and adding motorcycle and compact vehicle stalls in locations too small for standard vehicles. The final recommendation in the first phase is reconstructing the public restrooms with “improved facilities that are more resilient to heavy use, sand, and vandalism.”

In its phase 2 recommendations (3-5 years), the plan suggests adding real-time parking availability information, adding bicycle racks, creating electric vehicle charging stations, and constructing roadway improvements on Sunset Drive. In its long-term strategies, identified in phase 3 (5-20 years), the plan calls for constructing sidewalks along Hungry Harbor Drive to delineate the roadway more clearly, as well as improvements to both the Pacific City Turnaround and Fishers Point Boat Launch. Improvements would include both a rebuilding and reconfiguration of parking areas and adding public restrooms.

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners is inviting the public to attend a town hall on Wednesday, Oct. 16 during which Kittelson & Associates will present the Pacific City/ Woods Parking Management Plan. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

The plan includes recommended policies and strategies in three phases during the next 20 years, as well as an analysis of potential funding mechanisms and guidance for the implementation plan and monitoring program.

In phase 1, which looks to recommended strategies during the next 0-3 years, the plan recommends appointing a parking manager, and establishing a parking advisory committee. In addition, the plan is calling for the development of a series of user information that would include consistent parking branding, wayfinding/signage, a “how to get around” resource, coordination with community destinations, and stakeholder outreach and education and parking ambassadors.

Recommended improvements include improving the existing shuttle service provided by the Tillamook County Transportation District and building pedestrian and bicycle facilities along Cape Kiwanda Drive, an improvement that would feature the construction of a 12-foot wide shared use path on the west side of Cape Kiwanda Drive from Pacific Avenue to Cape Kiwanda. A project that had been previously identified in the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, the shared-use path will necessitate removing parking from at least one side of Cape Kiwanda Drive.

Parking Management strategies outlined in the plan include coordinating with relevant business and government entities to develop a maintenance and sand-clearing plan for existing parking as well as establishing a pay-to-park program at the Cape Kiwanda area. The initial recommended fee for both parking at Cape Kiwanda

Inspired by the cliche about officers and their coffee shop donuts, National Coffee with a Cop Day is billed as an opportunity to encourage communintes to hold events that will bring citizens and those on patrol together. Coffee with a Cop was launched in 2011 in Hawthorne, California when officers from the Hawthorne Police Department were looking for ways to interact more succesfully with citizens.

This project meets housing needs for low income families with children, individuals and seniors, and there will be five units dedicated to the persistently and severely mentally ill. This is a tremendous and much needed resource in our community.

Those five individuals will receive case management from Tillamook Family Counseling Center (TFCC) to provide the supports necessary for them to be successful in their homes and in the community. Tillamook County is fortunate to have this project in the pipeline for our vulnerable citizens. There is already a wait list of local people in need of affordable housing that far exceeds 60 units. We hope that the neighbors on 12th Street will recognize the need, celebrate the solution and welcome new residents to Holden Creek Village.

Homelessness is on the rise everywhere, not just Tillamook County, due to several factors including lack of available and affordable housing. We hear reports every day of folks living in their cars and working, sometimes with kids, living in “zombie” RVs, living in the woods, couch surfing and sleeping under bridges.

Two projects that will help the homeless in our community are in the works. Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Center, the homeless shelter at the Port of Tillamook Bay, is in the process of remodeling the top floor of the former Naval Command Center, which will significantly increase the number of residents who can be served there.

Helping Hands provides a clean and sober, safe environment for homeless people including families with children to get back on their feet and supports to help them be successful. For more information or to volunteer or donate to Helping Hands go to helpinghandsreentry.org.

In Tillamook, Community Action Resources Enterprises, or CARE, Inc. is building tiny houses to temporarily house homeless people near the Herald Center at the Tillamook Seventhday Adventist Church. The small pod of tiny houses will provide shelter and connect residents to services that will help them bridge the gap from homelessness to being productive members of society.

We should all remember that the fall from grace can be very short. Many Americans are a couple of paychecks away from financial ruin, perhaps due to no fault of their own, which could result in homelessness. However, the climb to get back from homelessness to being housed, employed and self-sufficient can be arduous and very long. It is in everyone’s best interest to help our homeless neighbors and it’s the right thing to do. It is a credit to the generosity of spirit and compassion of Tillamook County citizens that we recognize the need for housing of all kinds and are willing to help find solutions.

“Service Even After The Sale”

Lack of available housing is one of the biggest challenges in our area.

This includes housing of all kinds: emergency housing for the homeless, supported housing for those with special needs, senior housing, subsidized affordable housing where rent is based on income, workforce housing for people who make too much to qualify for subsidized housing but can’t afford sky high rents, and market rate housing for professionals. We need both rentals and family homes for people to buy.

Across the board, we need it all.

Fortunately, there is a lot of momentum in the area of housing and there are exciting projects in works in Tillamook County, including several that will serve the needs of the most vulnerable people in our community.

We want to share the good news about a few of those projects, and ask for the community’s support, and perhaps most importantly, compassion.

In North County, a dynamic project called Sammy’s Place has begun that will provide semi-independent housing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Thompson Road parcel secured

by Sammy’s Place had been foreclosed upon for back taxes owed. It contained a mountain of blackberries, falling down buildings and extensive scrap metal. The parcel was included in a county land sales auction, and there were no bidders. Thereafter, Sammy’s Place applied, paid the back taxes and was deeded the property as a qualifying nonprofit through ORS 271.330, which allows the transfer of property for low-income housing to nonprofit organizations. Similar land donations have been made to Habitat for Humanity in the past.

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) are pleased and proud to support this visionary housing project with a land donation and we affirm our commitment to providing housing opportunities for all people in our community. Sammy’s Place board of directors and volunteers are clearing a three-acre parcel on Thompson Road in Nehalem, under direction of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for reasons of asbestos abatement, etc., which will be a microcommunity of mixed-use homes for individuals with developmental disabilities and workforce housing. One of the founding members of Sammy’s Place, Kathy Jean Hrywnak, said, “Everyone deserves the opportunity to choose where they live, and those with disabilities in our community that want their own homes in a nurturing, nature-based setting will have that choice with Sammy’s Place.”

The BOCC fully supports Sammy’s Place in their efforts to provide housing for those with disabilities. We ask for the forbearance and compassion of folks on Thompson Road who are understandably concerned about how the nature of their neighborhood may change. Change is difficult and it is also essential to vibrant, thriving, livable communities. We believe that Sammy’s Place will be a model for creative housing solutions and a jewel that we can all be proud of. For more information about Sammy’s Place, to volunteer or donate, please visit https://www.sammysplace.info/.

A project for affordable housing with 60 units will break ground in Tillamook in the spring of 2020. Northwest

THE TUESDAY STITCHERS will host their inaugural sale as part of Tillamook’s Quilt Month when they open the doors at Kiawanda Community Center to quilt fans at “Quilt Explosion” on Saturday, Oct. 19.

An ‘Explosion’ of Quilts

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he quilting talents of the Tuesday Stitchers will be on display on Saturday, Oct. 19 when the group hosts its inaugural “Quilt Explosion” sale, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

The event is part of a month-long quilt celebration that is being supported

by Visit Tillamook Coast.

The sale at KCC is the result of the Tuesday group’s desire to share their efforts beyond their normal outlets.

They are known for producing quilts for terminal children that visit the Caring Cabin as well as for those suffering in the community.

“Every year, each one of us donates two quilts a year to the Caring Cabin, and whenever anybody has cancer or something like that, then we also donate to those in the community.” said event co-organizer Diana Briscoe.

But, with the many hands that are on deck each Tuesday when members of the group gather, they have produced more quilts than these donation efforts need.

The sale will feature 10 tables loaded with an estimated 150 to 200 quilts — including cuddle quilts, quilts for beds, holiday quilts, quilts for kids and more.

“They’re all quality quilts,” Briscoe said, who added that the group hopes to make the sale an annual event. “They’re made with tender-loving care. Every quilter has their own design and they’re extremely talented in what they do.”

Though primarily a quilt sale, the group also expects to offer up some knit-

ting and weavings.

Fellow quilter Denise Clausen said that the Tuesday Stitchers felt that Tillamook County’s Quilt Month seemed like a good time to do what the group had long thought of — a quilt sale where they could share all the creations they’ve made.

“We’d like to make it a destination event where people come from outside of the area to look at the beautiful quilts that are made,”Clausen said. “We’d like to make it a big event.”

Both Clausen and Briscoe said the group is also making an effort to make the sale an attractive and eye-pleasing event.

“We want this to be elegant,” Briscoe said, noting that quilt ladders and tables will all be adorned in white.

“We want to show the quilts the best we can,” added Clausen.

Visit Tillamook Coast’s October series of quilt events started with a kick-off event on Oct. 5 in Tillamook and also includes a Painted Quilt Block Workshop, Oct. 12, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., at Partners for Rural Innovation Building, 4506 Third St., Tillamook; the Tillamook County Quilt Guild’s Tidal Treasures “Heart & Soul” Quilt Show, Oct. 25-27, Tillamook Creamery, Red Barn Farm Experience Building, 4165 N. Highway 101, Tillamook; and the “On the Topic of Quilts,” exhibit, Oct. 1-Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Pioneer Museum, 2106 Second St., Tillamook. A final event that is part of the series is “Quilt Run 101/Oktoberfest Quilt Drawings,” held all October at 13 participating stores from Astoria to Port Orford.
