Public can offer input at public hearings on June 26 and July 10 at Tillamook County Courthouse

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Commissioners approved a “9/8” split for a proposed ballot measure that will ask voters to decide whether to support a transient room tax during a workshop on May 30. Public hearings on June 26 and July 10, both starting at 10 a.m. at the Tillamook County Courthouse, will be held to elicit community support and to address concerns.

As directed by law, the ballot measure will split funds raised via a 9 percent county-wide TRT tax — with 70 percent going to tourism-related activities and the remaining 30 percent to the general fund. Commissioners have already passed a resolution that dedicates the 30 percent to road improvements. However, County Commissioner Bill Baertlein told the Sun that because law stipulates the full 70 percent go to tourism, collection costs will come out of the 30 percent portion.

The 9/8 split, defined as a 9 percent county-wide TRT tax with an 8 percent credit for cities that already have a city-based TRT, was designed as a way to have cities contribute without pushing their room taxes out of line with unincorporated areas. Currently Tillamook, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Wheeler, Nehalem, and Manzanita all have TRT’s that put money in the coffers of the associated cities. Rates range from 7 to 10 percent. With the 8 percent credit, Tillamook for example, which has a 10 percent city TRT, would gather 10 percent for the city, plus 9 percent minus the 8 percent credit for the county-wide TRT — or 1 percent.

The state tourism tax of 1 percent will not be affected by the formula. When all is said and done, if the TRT passes, total rates will range from 10 percent in unincorporated areas to 12 percent in Tillamook including the 1 percent state tax. Because all county unincorporated areas currently have no TRT tax, they will not be eligible for the credit.

County staff are currently working on wording for the new tax, including distribution of funds should the county-wide TRT pass in November.

INN AT PACIFIC CITY OWNER Doug Olson (at left) supports a proposed transient room tax that would set a 9 percent county-wide lodging tax if voter’s approve the plan this November. To maintain parity throughout the area, the plan includes an 8 percent credit for cities within the county. County Commissioner Bill Baertlein (at right) says wording is being built in to the proposal that gives “a good say in where the money goes because most of it is coming from unincorporated areas.”

“It is our intention to be sure that unincorporated areas have a good say in where that money goes because most of it is coming from unincorporated areas,” Baertlein said.

With a nod to concerns raised by some during recent discussions, he said that one thing to keep in mind is that though when all is said in done incorporated areas may reap some benefit on the dime of unincorporated communities, the same could be said for what’s transpired in the past.

“Incorporated areas are also putting money out (via their own TRTs) to the county’s communities and that benefits the unincorporated areas,” he said. If it is Pacific City promoting tourism, that benefits the whole county and if Tillamook is promoting tourism, visitors are coming north and south and that helps the whole county, too.”

Local motel operator Doug Olson, who owns the Inn at Pacific City (35215 Brooten Road, 503-965-6366) is a supporter of the proposal. Though Olson said he has gone on record favoring a 2 percent contribution from incorporated areas, he said that there is much to like about this proposal.

“I think it’s a game changer for

Tillamook County,” said Olson. “It will raise a substantial amount of meoney that we’ve never had. This is one (ballot measure) that (voters) might favor because it’s paid by visitors to the county and not by the local people.”

According to current estimates provided by the county, the tax would raise about $1.37 million — $412,000 of which could be used for road maintenance.

Olson said he believes the proposal to be equitable in part because of the money that incorporated cities have contributed in the past via their own TRT tax.

“It’s equitable because a visitor to Tillamook County will pay essentially the same money,” he added. “I think most people will agree that having some money paid by people that use our resources will have a (positive financial) impact on the system and that’s a good thing.”

Olson was also not concerned with any loss in business for his motel or others in the area.

“I don’t think that’s how people make their decision on where to stay.

They make their decision based on where they want to go,” he said.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS uncovered sand-covered parking spaces west of the Beach Bridge in Pacific City June 12 and 13. Because of budgetary concerns, the parking spaces have been cleared infrequently in recent years, but Pacific City-Woods Chamber president Merrianne Hoffman had requested they be cleared to provide more parking for the 4th of July.

D

espite a tight budget that has yet to see a windfall from the recently passed $15 million bond, Tillamook County Public Works agreed to devote two days to uncover sand-covered parking spaces just west of the Beachy Bridge.

The project was instigated when Pacific CityNestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce president Merrianne Hoffman shared the Chamber’s desire to uncover the area to provide more parking for 4th of July visitors with Public Works director Liane Welch.

Work was carried out June 12 and 13 with the goal of making as many spots usable in that time as possible. Though the parking lot has been cleaned off

in the past, because of budgetary constraints, that has infrequently happened in recent years.

“It’s a low priority (because of budgetary concerns) for me, but I know it’s a high priority for the community,” Welch told the Sun. “We’re trying to be good neighbors. We’re trying to do the right thing, but it is labor intensive.”

Hoffman said that while she understands budgetary concerns, that doesn’t mean forsaking a livable community.

“We need to not lose sight of our parks and our quality of life,” she said. “If people can’t park in parking lots, they park in front of homes. Parking is an issue. The Chamber wants to keep that in mind when working on (issues that affect the community).”

Library hosts adult reading program The 2013 Tillamook County Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program is entitled “Gotcha Covered.” Adults who read eight books and turn in a filled in reading log by Aug. 5 will be entered for a chance to win prizes and will receive a coupon for a free book from the Library Bookstore.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Food Roots to debut ‘FarmTable’ at Tillamook Farmers’ Market

F

ood Roots’ FarmTable is being billed as a great opportunity for kids and adults growing food, florals or plants in Tillamook County to make extra money by direct marketing their bounty. Food Roots’ FarmTable will operate every Saturday from June 15 to Sept. 28, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Tillamook Farmers’ Market.

Organizers say it serves as an incubator for local agricultural producers who are not yet ready for a booth of their own, plus a place for home gardeners to make some extra money by making their products available to farmers’ market shoppers. The FarmTable is run by Food Roots staff and volunteers, some of whom are vendors themselves. Those vendors who sell without volunteering pay a 20 percent consignment fee on their sales, which supports Food Roots’ other programs.

Food Roots welcomes new FarmTable vendors. Becoming a vendor is as easy as growing something edible, plants, flowers or other ornamentals.

To vend at the FarmTable, folks fill out a vendor agreement, so they understanding the policies and procedures; then prepare, package, price and deliver their goods for market on Saturday mornings, by 8:15 a.m.

Food Roots exists to cultivate a healthy food system for our North Coast Communities, working to increase understanding, production and access to local food for all. Food Roots’ programs include Farm to School, Education and Outreach, and Community and Economic Development. To be a part of Food Roots FarmTable, contact the FarmTable project coordinator, Rebekah Laszlo at FarmTable@foodrootsnw.org.

MUSICIANS Johnny Zell, on trumpet, and George Grandison, playing bagpipes, provided some of the musical entertainment for the more than 100 residents and dorymen who attended the 2013 Blessing of the Fleet on June 1.

Blessing from Above

Community gathers to celebrate the dory fleet of Pacific City

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

S

tirring songs, pious prayers and reverent remembrances marked the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association’s annual celebration of the coming fishing season during the Blessing of the Fleet, held June 1 on the beach at Cape Kiwanda.

The beginning of the noontime celebration was heralded by bagpiper George Grandison, and punctuated by the beauty of the next generation with the presentation of Dory princesses Erin and Courtney Winesburgh.

With more than a hundred residents and dorymen — and 50-plus boats — lining the beach, the tribute to the trials and triumphs of the dory fleet paid homage to the past and looked to future challenges

of the sea. And it also took time, thanks to local clergy, to look at early fishermen. It was retired Catholic priest – and duespaying member Jim Dieringer of Dorymen’s Association that put it succinctly during his prayer over the fleet.

“Creator, you put into Adam’s descendants the desire to go out into the waters of the ocean to fish. Your Son came into our world to restore the order lost through sin. He chose fishermen as His first disciples. Be close to us Lord as we fish for the bounty of the sea. Protect us from adverse weather and give us wisdom to read the surf and the winds and the courage and strength of will to remain ashore when conditions of launch are adverse,” he said.

Randy Winesburgh of Cloverdale Baptist Church and former Army chaplain Lou Chandler also chimed in.

“Pacific City is a community that is

forever tied to this greatest of oceans,” said Winesburgh. “We gather to remember not only those that have died while at sea but friends and family tied to this fleet who have passed on.”

Music also played a resounding part of the celebration with longtime Lawrence Welk trumpet player Johnny Zell at the helm. He was joined by members of the Nestucca Sr. High School Band and their director, Kathleen Serven, who also showcased her trumpet-playing skills.

The ceremony closed with the reading of names of dorymen family members who passed on during the last year and the laying of event flowers in the surf and around Haystack Rock.

ancy a taste of fine dining, tasty cocktails, or classy wines and beers, but crave a bit of live music, too? The Delicate Palate Bistro, 35280 Brooten Road, Pacific City, has you covered.

On Saturday, June 16 and Sunday, June 17 the Delicate Palate Bistro welcomes James MacDonald and Walter Fields. The duo will be performing James MacDonald’s music. MacDonald grew up in Oregon listening to the music of Neil Young, The Beatles, Three Dog Night, and other bands of the 70’s and 80’s. He started playing guitars, including a classical guitar and an electric hollow-body, while a teenager.

During his 40’s, MacDonald began playing open mics and launched his singing and song-writing projects. While his original works sported a rock and blues influence, his more recents songs have a bluesy-jazz style.

Walter Fields also began to play

guitar at a young age – 12 years old.

Influenced by bands like Moody Blues, The Beatles, Chicago, and Santana, he played bass guitar in his first band during high school. His recent musical revival began around two years ago, which he credits to the open mics of the Portland area and the graciousness of open mic hosts such as MacDonald.

Musical trio Manzanita will perform a blend of folk, jazz, country, and bluegrass at the Delicate Palate Saturday, June 22. Manzanita has been playing the Pacific Northwest for more than 30 years. The trio consists of James Boydston on mandolin, Steven Remington on lead acoustic steel string guitar, and Daryl Davis on rhythm guitar and bass; they share lead and three-part vocal harmony vocals.

Both performances will start at 6:30 p.m. For more information, call 503965-6464.

reativity comes in many forms. And it just takes a spark to get children to put their imagination to work. Enter the Community Arts Project’s annual summer art program, a program that has a history of fanning that spark into a flame.

Now in its 18th year, “Slug Soup,” held June 24-28 at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School, promises what program coordinator Kim Cavatorta says is a energy-filled week during which students experience new art forms, learn from local artist instructors, make new friends and celebrate their unique creativity.

“Slug Soup is a place where kids can come be creative while making lasting friendships,” said Cavatorta.

“It’s amazing to see the quality of their work, too, which is inspired by the excellent group of instructors we have each year. The emphasis is always on experimentation with activities and projects that get kids’ creative juices flowing in a lowstress atmosphere. It’s a terrific way to spend a summer week.”

BILL REYNOLDS will read from his new book, “Andrew Pickens: South Carolina Patriot in the Revolutionary War” on Saturday, June 22 at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, 35305 Brooten Road, Pacific City.

Banishing the British Author Bill Reynolds to share insights on brigadier who was a force in the Revolutionary War

L

ocal author Bill Reynolds will talk about the process of conducting historical and genealogical research and read from his new book, “Andrew Pickens: South Carolina Patriot in the Revolutionary War” on Saturday, June 22 at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, 35305 Brooten Road, Pacific City.

The book delves into the story of Brigadier General Andrew Pickens, who was a primary force bringing about the end of British control in the Southern colonies. His efforts helped drive General Cornwallis to Yorktown, Virginia. His later actions on behalf of the Cherokee Nation are fully explored, and much never before published information about him, his family, and his peers is included. Andrew Pickens loved his country and was a fearless exemplar of leadership. He earned the unyielding respect of his superiors, his fellow officers, and most importantly, his militiamen.

Reynolds retired in 2005 from his position as chief intercontinental ballistic missile facilities engineer for USAF Space Command at Peterson AFB, Colorado

Springs, Colo. He is a direct descendant (7x grandson) of General Andrew Pickens’ brother, Captain Joseph William Pickens. An experienced historian with part Cherokee ancestry, he lives in Hebo, Ore. The Pacific City Arts Association presentation will start at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. A limited number of books will be available for sale and Reynolds will sign books following the lecture/ reading. Admission is free. For more information, contact the Rowboat Gallery, 34950 Brooten Road, 503-965-4590.

The Pacific City Arts Association is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to enriching the artistic and cultural life of Pacific City and the Nestucca Valley. PCAA is included on the Oregon Cultural Trust’s list of cultural non-profit organizations. Those who would like to support the work of the Pacific City Arts Association, can consider becoming a “Friend” of the PCAA. Tax-deductible contributions may be mailed to PCAA at P.O.

Rowboat Gallery hosts ‘Making Connections,’ an exhibit featuring Judy Vogland and Taylor Vogland Dreiling Rowboat Gallery in Pacific City will begin featuring “Making Connections,” a collaborative exhibition by Portland artist Judy Vogland, and San Francisco artist Taylor Vogland Dreiling on June 29. There will be an opening reception for the artists on Saturday, June 29, from 5 to 8 p.m. with an artists’ talk at 7 p.m.

The artists — mother and daughter — have both explored a strongly narrative approach to imagery in the course of their separate artistic careers.

Taylor Vogland Dreiling, the daughter, explains that her work comes from a desire to “bring to life stories, places and characters that exist in a space between experience and imagination.

The thrill of a lie or of a dream that feels as real as an actual experience is what I attempt to make tangible.”

She works in a variety of media creating richly textured painted surfaces and evocative organic sculptural forms.

As a younger, emerging artist, Taylor has already made many “connections,” particularly on the West Coast. She earned a BFA degree at the University of Washington, an MFA at San Francisco Art Institute, and has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and elsewhere.

Taylor’s mother, Judy Vogland, has

been making art for four decades. Currently, she has focused on the narrative of intimate realities from collected histories. Vogland’s work opens the architecture of memory through the juxtaposition of image and abstraction, the specific and the enigmatic. She has observed and acknowledged two important life forces of her own.... the passage into her own sixth decade and the forces of her own family history. As she finds herself becoming the older generation of her family, she relishes the opportunity to sequence the next generation of art-makers within her artistic lineage. This not only includes her daughter but the hundreds of students she has inspired and empowered through many years of being a positive creative influence.

Judy Vogland taught art for many years at Portland State University, Hillsboro High School, Haystack School at Cannon Beach, Oregon College of Art and Craft and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. Her MFA in painting is from Portland State University. She is currently retired from daily teaching and is free to work full time in the studio and teach workshops.

THE FARMER HOUSE was built in 1902. The first wagon road to Tillamook was in back of the house to provide less river crossings.

Spanning the Generations

Farmer Creek Farm has specialized in everything from operating as a dairy to a fur farm, from a knife sharpening facility to daffodil raising

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

I

n 1887, Axon D. Farmer (known at A.D. Farmer) took up a homestead claim of 160 acres on the big Nestucca, where Farmer Creek joins the Nestucca between Hebo and Beaver. Dense woods and underbrush surrounded their new home. An Indian trail climbed the hills to avoid the fords of the river on the way to Tillamook. Foot-logs served as bridges.

Butter was the chief source of revenue for the Farmer family, and it had to be carried on pack-horse out over Mt. Hebo to the Grand Ronde Agency, where it was traded for provisions and clothing. The family raised almost all of their food and deer and fish were plentiful.

A.D Farmer’s wife, Eliza, served as a doctor and nurse to the whole valley. She died while taking care of Mrs. Wallace five miles away in Beaver. She was buried near the Wallace home, as the weather was so stormy, and, as A.D. Farmer had been ill, he was unable to make the trip on horseback to her funeral. After his wife’s death, A.D. Farmer lived with a son, Herman, at Sandlake until 1903 when the Farmer Family, including Herman and family, moved back to the home ranch on the Nestucca. Herman is credited with much of the early road building in Tillamook County.

Herman’s son, Reed and his wife Freda, had two sons, Walt and Leland, and they added a mink business to the farm property but also operated as a dairy. The farm was eventually split up into smaller parcels.

In 1946, M.L. Brassfield bought 80 acres. Mink farming had come to pass and it operated primarily as a dairy farm.

M.L. Brassfield’s son, Howard, and his wife Lee along with three children, bought the farm in 1965. Howard had graduated from OSU, served in the army, and traveled all over the world before returning to Oregon. They operated the farm as a dairy for 25 years then changed to raising heifer calves for other farmers. The farm was one of the only state-approved rabbit processing stations, where Howard had more than 100 rabbits. The always enterprising Howard bought Wes Paengelli’s tool sharpening equipment and took a training class at the Foley-Belsaw School in Kansas City to learn the trade. He still runs his business of sharpening any kind of kitchen or garden tool and all kinds of saws.

In 1993, Howard rented out five acres of his lower field to a daffodil farmer from Minnesota. The Oregon climate was more favorable to daffodil production.

Howard inherited the daffodils on the owner’s death and now there are more than a half million bulbs and 2,000 varieties in the ground. Howard sells the flowers in his roadside stand next to the house. He branched out into dahlias and even traded some daffodil bulbs to a Corvallis farmer to add iris. There are cut flowers in the Page 16 • Pacific City SUN • June 14, 2013

THE FARMER CREEK MINK FARM had more than 5,000 mink at one time. Fish for mink food had to be hauled all the way from Astoria. stand in season. Pumpkins are another specialty that Howard grows and the roadside stand is filled with every size and shape of pumpkins in the fall. The farm has two greenhouses where more than 75 tomato plants and other vegetable and flower starts making their way to the roadside stand. An old cedar tree that almost fell on the house has been the source of wood for the bird houses that are for sale.

On top of all of this, Howard drove a school bus for 40 years while Lee worked at both the Hebo Inn and Dory Restaurant in Cloverdale.

Howard and Lee are ready to retire and are turning the farm over to granddaughter Sandra Porter and her husband Waylon Porter. The young couple are picking up on some of the established enterprises like the flowers and vegetables but also expanding the use of the farm. Sandra has turned a section of the barn into a commercial kitchen where she bakes pies, cookies and other desserts for local farmers markets and restaurants. Waylon is a commercial fishermen and has a fish processing section so dory caught fish can be sold retail.

Even 5-year-old Zachary Porter helps his parents. He gets $1 for each row of weeding. The greenhouses are in full production and a large vegetable garden is planted across the road.

It is exciting to see this more than 125-year-old farm booming to new life and another generation taking the reins to make a living for their family. You can leave off tools to be sharpened at the farm, buy produce, flowers, fish and hand crafted bird houses. Sandra and Waylon are at the Neskowin and Pacific City Farmer’s Markets with fresh fish, desserts and vegetables on Saturdays and Sundays, respectively.

Don’t forget the fin-clipping party Saturday June 15, at Rhodes Pond. 9 a.m, 5 ½ miles east from Hebo on Highway 22. Everyone is welcome. There’s lots of folks to rub elbows with drawings, auctions, lots of cool stuff and a great free BBQ on the agenda.

Spring chinook fishing on the Nestucca and Three Rivers is now in full swing. Very good numbers of salmon are being caught in both rivers. The Nestucca has been producing springers from first bridge in Beaver all the way to Cloverdale. Boaters are having very good days in all stretches of the Nestucca.

Bank Anglers are doing better concentrating in and around the mouth of Three Rivers where the Nestucca and Three Rivers meet.

The Jackson Drift just above Three Rivers has been the hot spot with several salmon taken there daily. The mouth of Three Rivers and points down stream from the mouth are also producing bank fish. Eggs and shrimp are the number one and two baits when it comes to springer fishing. It doesn’t matter the methPhoto courtesy of Pat Gefre od.

Shell Shocked

A visit to Cloverdale’s Shell Game promises nature’s bounty

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

L

ois Peterson’s 25-year-long passion for shells started out as pure happenstance but has become one of the most rewarding times of her life.

She is feting 25 years of running the Shell Game, 34410 Highway 101 South, Cloverdale, this year, a celebration will culminate with a July 6 open house in conjunction with Clover’s Day from 1-4 p.m.

Fittingly, Peterson and her husband Gus will be grand marshals of this year’s Clover’s Day Parade. With customers, family and friends coming from all over, the open house will also be an opportunity to meet and greet many faces from the past. Peterson expects three generations of her family to be in attendance as well as many she has formed friendships with over the years through the Shell Game.

It was September 1987 when Peterson, over lunch with Fred Phiffer, first got into the wonderful world of sea shells. At that time, Phiffer had just accepted two semi-truck loads of shells as down payment on a Pacific City house he sold and was looking for a way to convert the asset into cash. Though she knew nothing about shells at the time, Peterson agreed to help.

And the Shell Game was born. It wasn’t long before Peterson turned it into not just a thriving business but a science. She has always employed only reputable divers, netting her shells that were both legal to harvest and beautiful. After educating herself through a series of classes as well as joining shell clubs, her business quickly grew by both specializing in servicing collectors and catering to tourists.

To get started, she moved her new business into a building, which at that time housed husband Gus’s insurance business, that sat at the current location until a truck destroyed the shop in a high speed wreck Aug.

Bible-Based Worship!

5, 2005. While that wreck closed the shop for about a year, it didn’t close her business. While waiting for the new building to be erected, she served customers out of her home-based warehouse as well as offering her goods at a kiosk located at the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce Cloverdale Visitor’s Center.

Today, as in years past, Shell Game offers a multitude of shells. Peterson’s favorite is the Nautilus shell, a specimen that has inspired the shape of submarines.

“That shell has never got to evolve. It is the same now as it was 500 million years go,” she says.

Other unique shells on hand include cone and horseshoe crab shells, both of which have become medical marvels. Researchers have been able to derive the venom found in cone shells into a painkiller more potent than morphine with no side affect. They have also developed the anticoagulant found in the horseshoe crab for medical use. It is now used for astronauts in the space station. Medical professionals also use the shell of that crab for sutures.

She also has on hand bounty from the sea that are no longer legal to harvest —items she purchased in plenty before the ban — including the triton shell, coral and sea horses. Additional favorites include the murex family, which Peterson adores as a “really pretty shell,” lots of urchins and crabs of all kinds. The Australian Trumpet, which can be as large as 3 to 4 feet long, is the shop’s largest shell.

Other items at hand include shell-adorned wind chimes and night lights, as well as hand-sewn items.

The Shell Game also has a limited supply of rocks — including the Thunder Egg, Oregon’s state rock — and fossils, too.

The Shell Game is open Monday and Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and on Sundays, noon-4 p.m. For more information, call 503-392-4071.

GREATREADS

In Praise of Precipitation

‘Of Walking in Rain’: An Excerpt

‘Of Walking in Rain’ is author Matt Love’s exploration of rain and rediscovery of his creative juices rain by renowned artist Frank Boyden. “(The purpose of) writing the book is to explain what rain means to me living here on the Oregon Coast. It is so pervasive and ubiquitous here,” he says.

But this is a book that is more than about precipitation totals and records set. “(Writing the book) was totally fluid,” says Love. “It fell out like rain and went whichever way it wanted to go.”

Though penned in Newport, the book also includes homage to Love’s time here in South Tillamook County (see excerpt) and features a trip he made to Nestucca Spit during one of the heaviest rainstorms he’d ever seen.

Love is the author/editor of 10 books about Oregon, including, the best selling “Far Out Story of Vortex I,” “Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon’s Sesquicentennial Anthology,” “Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker” and “The Newport Trilogy.” In 2009, Love won the Oregon Literary Arts’ Stewart H. Holbrook Literary Legacy Award for his contributions to Oregon history and literature. He lives in South Beach and teaches creative writing and journalism at Newport High School.

For information on purchasing the book and to follow Matt Love on his Rain Tour, visit www.nestuccaspitpress. com. “Of Walking in Rain” is available through Love’s web site or independent bookstores in Lincoln and Tillamook County.

expected to make Oregon literary history that day in 2004. A couple thousand people would throng to McIver Park just outside of Estacada and commemorate Vortex I, the only state-sponsored rock festival in American history.

And they would gather there only because my lifelong dream of becoming an Oregon writer of merit had recently come true after so many years of procrastination and immaturity.

Vortex I unfolded in all its Oregon counterculture glory the last weekend of August 1970. It was a story practically undocumented and lost to history forever until it seized hold of me and revolutionized my life. The journey took four years of travel, research, writing and cost me $40,000, but in June of 2004 my self-published book, The Far Out Story of Vortex I, came out.

During the summer of 2004 I’d relentlessly driven all over the state to promote the book, delivering 30 presentations in 60 days, some to very large crowds, others to three people. The tour would culminate at McIver Park where I would give a presentation on the festival, sell out my entire press run, and make $20,000. No other Oregon writer had ever conceived of pulling off something so daring. State park officials had built me a stage and given me free use of a group campsite. Forty of us intended to camp out and ride the magic carpet back in time. My friend Tom’s rock band would play on the very field where the rock bands once played. My girlfriend Rose would skinny dip in the Clackamas River and dance with me on the very field where 100,000 people once danced.

My triumph was set for August 22, traditionally the hottest day of Oregon’s summer. The evening before, the heavens opened up all across Western Oregon and began to rain and rain and rain.

Rose and I had listened to rain that night and she assured me it would stop in the morning and the show would proceed.

How could it not? It rained once a century on August 22 in Western Oregon and then only a trace of precipitation.

In the morning, standing in rain outside her house, I took a call from a state park official. She asked me what I thought we should do. It was still raining and expected to rain harder in the afternoon.

Should we cancel the event? It was my call.

Rose urged me not to postpone. I had never met anyone who believed in rain like she did. She argued the event would be all the more authentic if rain didn’t stop. She thought all the nudity in rain might be fun, like Woodstock.

I stared at the sky, imagined a muddy mess, and cancelled the event. My first thought was to go, as fast as possible, to Nestucca Spit, the beach near the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge where I lived and served as caretaker. I asked Rose to

f you ask former Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge caretaker Matt Love what one of his favorite things about living at the coast is, you might be surprised with the answer.

Never one to shy away from weather, Love embraces our abundant rainfall rather that shy away from it. And now he’s sharing his encounters with “Oregon sunshine” in his new book, “Of Walking in Rain,” published by Nestucca Spit Press. “(When it rains), I don’t get depressed. It just invigorates me. My best creative time is always when it’s raining,” he says. “When this project began, I had no idea where it was going. Rain is like that. I did, however, have the modest ambition to write the greatest book on rain in the history of Oregon literature.”

“Of Walking in Rain” is a 190-page work of creative non-fiction that assays the ubiquitous subject of rain in Oregon in as many ways as rain falls in Oregon.

It was written during the four wettest months of the second rainiest year in Newport history. According to Love, the book blends an eclectic variety of literary genres, including memoir, essay, vignette, diary, reportage, guide, criticism, satire, stream of consciousness, homework, meditation, review, commentary, oral history, weather report, discography, liner notes, polemic, curriculum and confession. “Of Walking in Rain” also features the exquisite etchings of

go with me, which surprised me because I typically recover from disappointments at the beach in solitude and never bring along a phone. She said she’d love to join me. I drove us to Pacific City in a rain crashing so hard the windshield wipers proved utterly useless. I couldn’t see much of Highway 101 and navigated from memory.

Rose and I barely spoke during the drive and I replayed my decision to cancel. I parked the truck and we walked out to the beach, a half mile down Spit until we settled in the dunes. No one else was around, which made perfect sense since a monsoon was in session. I couldn’t talk.

We sat there for five minutes and then rain stopped as if a deity had turned off a spigot. Instantly, a course of action became lucid to me. I stripped off my clothes and sprinted 75 yards toward the ocean. I plunged in, went completely underwater, swam a few strokes, felt the rush of cold, tasted salt, looked west, saw a harbor seal watching me, let my feet find the sand, stood up, turned around, and saw Rose waving to me from the dunes.

I began running toward her and then stopped. At that precise moment, I remembered seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn perform at a Salem amphitheater in the summer of 1990. There he was, on stage, outside, ripping through “Couldn’t Stand the Weather,” when a rain squall materialized out of nowhere and sent down an Oregon flood.

Stevie didn’t stop playing. He didn’t seek cover. He got louder. The sky was crying rain and he found new and exotic destinations on the fretboard, drop by drop. It was the greatest rain performance in the history of rock and naturally it occurred in Oregon.

He died in a helicopter crash two months later.

I had completely forgotten about this concert until I stood naked on the beach. Right then and there, I channeled Stevie’s stiletto rain and was reborn and reeducated. I had allowed rain to ruin my parade and by doing so, embraced pathetic cliché, and suffered defeat. The first and only rule of Oregon rain is: always advance, never retreat. Engage rain on all fronts. Become General Grant, never General McClellan. McClellan was timid, a dandy, a loser. Grant drank whiskey by the barrels and stood out in rain when giving orders to his troops. Advancing into rain is becoming General Grant, winning. All the compelling Oregon stories happen when you advance into rain. Nothing happens if you stay inside.

Later, I discovered three inches of rain fell in Estacada during that 24-hour time period, shattering the previous record much like Bob Beamon did to the long jump record in 1968 at the Mexico City Summer Olympics.

Had I advanced I would have set a record too. I will never make that mistake with rain again.
