NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT recently added six paid emergency responders to its staff thanks to a five-year operating levy passed last May. The new crew began orientation on Dec. 2 and were scheduled to begin shift work on Dec. 8.
The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division is asking for the public’s help in locating the person(s) responsible for the unlawful killing and waste of a 4X5 bull elk and a cow elk in Tillamook County. On Wednesday, Dec. 4, Tillamook OSP Fish and Wildlife Troopers were dispatched to a report of a deceased bull elk. The deceased bull elk was located approximately 3 miles up Kansas Creek Road in an area known as Hembre Ridge. The bull elk was killed using a rifle and left to waste with no meat removed. Further investigation led to the discovery of a deceased cow elk nearby. Neither elk was salvageable, and it appeared both elk had been shot within the past few days. OSP is asking anyone who was in the area or anyone who may have information on the person(s) responsible to call the TIP line at 1-800-452-7888, or *OSP (677) and refer information to Trooper Charles Reeder. Information can also be sent by email to TIP@state. or.us. The TIP program offers preference point rewards for information leading to an arrest or issuance of a citation for the unlawful take/ possession or waste of big game mammals.

Event headquarters will be at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. With the support of Visit Tillamook Coast as well as an experienced team of Birding & Blues volunteers, the festival is being hailed by organizers as a celebration of the natural resources of the area. The event is being supported by a 10-person organizing committee that features representatives from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Visit Tillamook Coast, Pelican Brewing, Kiwanda Hospitality Group, Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and community members. In an effort to help support the return of the festival, organizers are
seeking sponsors from area businesses and individuals. Sponsors will help pay for a free community night on Friday, April 17, help to provide presentations and field trips by birding and wildlife experts, and support the bringing in of a blues band. Sponsorships may be in cash or in-kind and will be recognized at the festival, and on the event website and Facebook page. Contribution levels range from “Western Gull” ($75) to Eagle ($5,000). For more information on the recognition provided with each of seven sponsorship levels or to request a sponsorship form, call 503-354-4504.

Commissioners to hear appeals on proposed fiber optic cable installation in Tierra Del Mar The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, during a Monday, Dec. 9 meeting, will hear a variety of appeals to the Tillamook County Planning Commission’s Nov. 14 approval of a conditional use application and similar use determination for the Edge Cable Holdings/Jupiter Submarine Cable System proposed installation of a fiber optic cable on a residential lot in Tierra Del Mar. The hearing will start at 10 a.m. It total, four appeals have been filed with Tillamook County. A partial list of the issues raised in the appeals include the assertions that the proposed use is not allowed conditionally because it is not among the listed uses, that the proposed use shouldn’t qualify for a similar use because it is “funda-
mentally” different than uses permitted conditionally and doesn’t meet the “common definition of ‘public utility,’” and that the parcel isn’t suitable for the proposed use as it “essentially industrializes small parcels zoned rural residential.” Public testimony will be limited to three minutes and will follow presentations by Tillamook County staff, the appellants, and the applicants. Following the hearing, commissioners could either make a determination at the hearing or continue it to Jan. 8. To view complete information about the project as well as the appeals that have been filed, visit co.tillamook. or.us/gov/ComDev/hidden_Edge_Cable.htm.

Songs for the Season
Tillamook Community Chorus presents Christmas Choral Concert Songs and carols of the season will ring in the holidays when Tillamook Community Chorus performs “Sing We Now of Christmas,” Saturday, Dec. 14, 3 p.m., at Tillamook United Methodist Church. The concert will feature a compilation of traditional and multi-cultural Christmas vocal works, performed by the four-part chorus and soloists. Guests will hear familiar favorites like “The First Noel” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” as well as a carol sung in Spanish and one in an African dialect. Directing the concert will be Andrew Bergh, director of the Tillamook High School and Junior High School Choir; Barbara Richmond, pianist, will accompany the group. The Tillamook Community Chorus sang its first concert in 1981. Members of the group come from all parts of the county and some have been singing
together for many years. Officials say it’s a diverse community of music lovers who gather weekly to join their voices in celebration. Singers of all ages and skill levels are invited and encouraged to join; there are no auditions. The chorus rehearses on Thursday evenings from 6:308:30 p.m. in the choir room at Tillamook High School. The next concert season will begin in early 2020. Admission is free, but a $5 donation per person will be accepted. Refreshments will be served at intermission and there will be a raffle of gift baskets (guests who make a $5 admission donation will receive one complimentary raffle ticket – tickets will also be for sale). For more information about the Tillamook Community Chorus or its Dec. 14 concert, call 503-8121830.
Every time you buy or sell a home with Windermere a donation is made to the Windermere Foundation. Thanks for helping us support local organizations in Tillamook South County community!

A Feast Full of Accomplishments
Chamber of Commerce lauds top volunteers, business and citizen of 2019
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
T
he efforts of key businesses and individuals were saluted on Dec. 3 when the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce paid tribute to the group’s top contributors at its annual banquet by presenting three annual awards — the Business of the Year, Citizen of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. The event, held at the Kiawanda Community Center, also featured silent and oral auctions, dinner and entertainment. BUSINESS OF THE YEAR Winning this year’s Business of the Year was the Nestucca Ridge Family of Companies, which includes Pelican Brewing, Meridian Restaurant & Bar, Stimulus Coffee + Bakery, Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, Inn at Cape Kiwanda, Hart’s Camp, Open Nest Vacation Rentals and Nestucca Ridge Storage. Presenter and Chamber board member Doug Olson hailed the Family of Companies, which employ more 400 throughout Tillamook County, for their many contributions. One of the accomplishments he pointed to was the 2018 opening of Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, which also houses Meridian. “It’s now one of the premier properties on the Oregon Coast along with Salishan, Bandon Dunes, the Inn at Otter Crest, and maybe some others,” he said. He also praised the Family of Companies for the cleanups they’ve done of the Cape Kiwanda Parking lot, their donation of an easement for the Dorymen’s Association Memorial Wall at Cape Kiwanda, their efforts in helping to construct a widened beach access ramp, and their commitment to education. “For the very first time, they’ve established a $10,000 scholarship for a graduating senior at Nestucca High School,” Olson added. “It’s a good thing. They value education.” While all of the group’s companies were founded by the husband and wife team of Jeff Schons and Mary Jones, he noted that it’s the Pelican that, at least at the moment, is the most famous. “It has won too many awards to count and not just regional and national but international — all over the world,” he said. Olson also noted the Pelican’s role in bringing back fireworks to Pacific City’s 4th of July festivities. “Last year and then again this year,

they stepped up and paid for one-half of our fireworks. They’re donating again about $6,500 to support a $13,000 fireworks display (this upcoming) July 4.” And he added their generosity can be seen at many events throughout the county. “My wife and I were at a couple of functions this weekend in the county (and) guess where the beer came from? It came (donated) from the Pelican Pub. That’s what they do. The beer here tonight is donated by the Pelican Pub. They don’t have to do that.

SPORTSMAN’S PUB-N-GRUB OWNER and Dorymen’s Association treasurer Rob Royster (at right) was awarded the Chamber’s “Citizen of the Year” award by board member Jeremy Strober (at left) for his lifetime of service to the community. board member Jeremy Strober, Royster was hailed for his dedication in running what Strober described as “literally and figuratively the center of Pacific City.” “Known infamously for such events as 25 years of the Hooker’s Ball, the Sportsman’s is also well known for its support of Senior Safe (Nestucca High School’s alcohol free graduation party), local youth sports teams, NVASI (Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters, Inc.), Partners in Education (NVSD’s parent support group), Nestucca Valley (Lion’s Club) Christmas Basket (Program), the (Nestucca Valley) Backpack Program, and is a host of a very special recent Veteran’s Day celebration.” Strober also pointed to Royster’s spirit of individual volunteerism. “(He) has also volunteered much of his time outside of the tavern, chairing the CAC (Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee), serving on the board of Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, (which has been) trying to build a park here in Pacific City, (and) acting as a treasurer for the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association. (He’s also) always there to lend a hand to help with a fundraiser or offer his wisdom.” In accepting the award to thunderous applause, Royster led off with a dose of humility. “Thank you very much, (but) I want to say…’Why me?’” he asked. “There are so many people in this room and our community that are as worthy if not more worthy than myself.” Still, he said he was very appreciative of the honor — and of the community. “It’s a wonderful community,” Royster said. “A couple years ago I got quite ill, and, I’ll tell you, this community stood behind me and my business, and I’m still here, and I’m going to fight to the very end. Thank you very much. Thank you all for all your recognition. I’m very grateful and honored.” VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR The spirit of serving the community was also pointed to in announcing the winner of the Chamber’s 2019
Volunteer(s) of the Year to Schubert and Joani Moore. Though the Moores were unable to be present for the banquet, Olson took time to share a little about their contributions to the community. Both retired educators, he said each have a history of serving the South Tillamook County in their own way. “He’s a published author, and he’s a volunteer,” Olson said about Schubert. “He’s really a quite fascinating individual once you get inside his head. The most recent thing he’s done around here is he stepped up for the (Pacific City-Woods) Citizens Advisory Committee, (which) deals with prospective land use matters that come before Tillamook County.” Olson added that Joani, too, has made her contributions felt. Those efforts have included volunteer work for the South Tillamook County Library Club, where, over the years, she served as club member, board member and president; SMART (Start Making a Reader Today); SOLVE beach cleanup organizer; the Whale Watch program; and the Nesko Women’s Club, where she was in charge of publicity and the monthly luncheon. In her closing remarks, Chamber President Susan Amort thanked the membership for its support via auction donations and bids. She also singled out the Grateful Bread & Bakery for its role in serving up the banquet’s meal as well as providing lunches for the group’s monthly meetings. “We want to thank everybody who donated auction items,” she said. “We had some really great sponsorships this year and we’re so grateful. It’s amazing (how) we really support each other and help each other. We’re really lucky to have the community we have. And the award winners this year (were) kind of a no-brainer. We’re really happy for everyone who got an award here tonight.” For more information about the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, its members and the many activities it sponsors each year, visit pcnvchamber.org.

news&community Tillamook County amongst winners in class action lawsuit against State of Oregon After deliberating for approximately four hours, the jury in the Linn County Class Action Lawsuit, which alleged that the State of Oregon breached a decades old contract requiring it to manage forest trust county land for the greatest permanent value, ruled on Nov. 20 that the State of Oregon is on the hook for the violation — to the tune of $1.065 billion. The biggest winner of the damage award is Tillamook County. After attorney’s costs, Tillamook County’s share of the verdict could be roughly $332 million. However, the county has 20 taxing districts that receive almost 75 percent of its timber receipts from State forest harvests. Tillamook County’s taxing districts receiving timber revenue include Tillamook Transportation, Tillamook Bay Community College, NW Regional Education Service District, all three port districts, North County Recreation District, 4-H Extension, and all three school districts — though Nestucca Valley School District will receive the least of the three. The issue of the state’s management of the forested lands dates back to the 1930s and 1940s when counties such as Tillamook found themselves with forested land after property owners walked away from property tax obligations. But the county did not have the resources to manage the land and so property was deeded to the state with the stipulation it would be managed for greatest permanent value, which, to the county, meant harvesting and reaping the portion of the proceeds that the state promised as part of the deal. The trial, held in the Circuit Court of Linn County and presided over by Judge Thomas A. McHill, began earlier this fall with jury selection on Oct. 24. The lawsuit was originally filed in March 2016. The award will go to 13 forest counties and 151 taxing districts. Out of the 15 forest trust counties, all but Clatsop County participated in the lawsuit. Klamath County was removed from the case by Judge McHill because its forests operate under a pre-2001 forest management plan. The jury heard more than 100 hours of testimony and reviewed hundreds of exhibits, some going back to the early
1900s. In a Dec. 5 interview with the Sun, Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto said he feels that the State overstepped its mandate when it comes to enforcing the Endangered Species Act — and that the jury saw the same thing. He noted that while the requirement to manage the land for greatest permanent value doesn’t trump the ESA, that doesn’t mean the state was allowed to take ESA requirements further. “Instead of concentrating on forest management for timber harvest, they were instead developing campgrounds and trails,” he said. “They were going so far above what the Endangered Species Act required. They were creating areas to attract endangered species.” It is expected that the State will likely appeal the verdict, but in the meantime, 9 percent interest will accrue. Yamamoto said the 9 percent interest amounts to approximately $260,000 per day. “That’s a lot of money so the pressure should be on the State to try to settle this,” he said. Yamamoto also said that though it could be appealed as high as the Supreme Court, he feels the case for the judgment is strong. “When we go through a monthlong trial and they come back in four hours with a verdict saying, yes, the State breached their contract and offer full damages, that just shows the strength of our case,” he said. “The issue is so narrow. It’s about breach of contract. We feel that’s why the jury came back so quickly.” Yamamoto added that of the approximately 25 percent that will be left after special districts take their share, there has been no consensus as to where that money would be used. “If you talk to any commissioner or any department head, they all have ideas of how to spend the money,” he said “We can’t even think about that at this point. It’s going to be a long time before we see any of this money. (If appealed), it’s going to be years. Some people are saying it’s going to be a decade and that’s certainly possible.”

A Profitable Partnership
Photo by Tim Hirsch
FOR HELPING TO PUT ON THE 2019 DORY DAYS FESTIVAL, the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce presented the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association a check for $2,200.33 at the Chamber’s Awards Dinner and Auction held Dec. 3. The two organizations annually split both the work and the proceeds for the Oregon Heritage event. Accepting the award from Dory Days organizer Melita Spath (far left) was PCDA treasurer Rob Royster.
NVSD agrees to contract for expansion, renovation The Nestucca Valley School District Board of Directors voted on Nov. 18 to accept a proposed guaranteed maximum price of $24.75 million to build the expansion and renovation of its elementary school campus. As part of the proposal, the project’s contractor, O’Brien Company, is guaranteeing that 64 percent of the subcontracted labor will come from local companies. The acceptance of the maximum price also signaled the district’s effort to remain on budget though there was some value engineering done in order for the project to come in at a price that didn’t exceed what voters approved when they passed a bond for the effort in November 2018. NVSD Superintendent Misty Wharton told the Sun that no programming or square footage was sacrificed in the process of streamlining the budget. Instead, she said sacrifices were limited
to items like landscaping (reduced from $1.5 million to $300,000) and to the school’s heating system, which will use a commercial grade heat pump in place of the originally specified boiler system ($2 million savings). As of Dec. 2, construction of the project was slated to resume on Dec. 9 when the demolishment of the back part of the current building — including the old music room, kitchen and cafeteria — was slated to begin. Following that, crews will begin working on footings and the foundation, a stage that Wharton said is anticipated to be completed by February. Framing is next and is expected to be done between June and July. The final completion date, following a summer’s worth of renovation work on the existing building, is scheduled for August 2021.

talkback Parking plans decried To the Editor: When we extend these new parking and transit accommodations, eventually that will not be enough — what next? Do we decommission the airport so we can park a few more people? PC is a village, not a city. People come because it is a village not because we have major parking lots, sidewalks, street lights and neon signs. Charging the dory fisherman for access and parking is plainly obscene. The art of dory fishing is a legacy that deserves every protection and every consideration. They are unique and bring far more to this community than surfers and kayaks. If, at some point people are disillusioned by lack of accommodations, then let them find a new area to invade. The idea that none of this will cost local residents is another bureaucratic fantasy....when was the last time one of these grand plans for anything actually self-funded? I will wait for a rebuttal with an accurate answer. Our once beautiful Cape has been turned into a three-ring circus. Parking plan or no parking plan, it will continue to be a circus until people find a new fun place to mess up. Sorry, but I don’t want to expand parking opportunities. I would offer odds of 5-to-1 that “unintended consequences” will definitely happen, and there will be a price tag attached. I am not part of the legacy of dory fishing. I don’t even fish, but I value the history and the amazing work they do. If you want to purpose a plan, then find a way to preserve this area and not continue to expand development of a very limited land mass and natural resources that are being over-used and abused.

Board responds to cat controversy To the Editor: In response to the petition for recall of three members of the South
Tillamook County Library Club, we the undersigned do hereby deny any and all charges associated with the petition presented to the board on November 11, 2019. On Sept. 10, 2019, the board decided to try and make arrangements for the cat named Ezra to find another accommodation during non-business hours due to the fact that he was very distraught when left alone, as witnessed by several board members. He did not act that way when people were in attendance. The entire board voted in favor of this decision with one abstaining. On Oct. 4, 2019, during review of a post by Bonnie M. on Facebook, it was discovered that there was an individual who said they owned Ezra the cat. … After conferring further on the phone, we decided to have a conversation with the possible owner of the cat. The possibility of working out a compromise was the topic of conversation. I met with (the owner) Bailey (Roe) on Saturday, and she wished to go talk with the thrift store manager. We arrived at the store, and I encouraged them to talk. The manager and Bailey eventually went into the thrift store to speak. I remained outside and was not privy to their conversation. After a time, Bailey said she was taking the cat, went to her home to get her pet carrier and removed Ezra. I did not participate in any of this but did observe it. When the store manager released the cat, she gave Bailey the cat’s medicine and food. In each case, we have acted as Board members and representatives of STCLC, as the facts support.
