By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

less-than-rosy report on Tillamook County’s tourism assets was the subject of a Tourism Advisory Committee meeting on July 8, as part of the ongoing drive to boost visitor numbers with proceeds from the county’s six-month-old Transient Lodging Tax. “I think the situation’s even worse than what you’re describing in this report,” Jud Randall, co-chair of the nine-member committee and the member who represents citizens at large, told report author Bill Baker. “We were trying to be polite,” said Baker, the Tualatin-based tourism-marketing expert who is working on “branding” for the county’s tourism initiative. The Asset Mapping Report prepared by Baker says the document was created “to uncover key assets, opportunities and gaps in Tillamook County’s range of tourism products and experiences.” The county’s tourism shortfalls sparked most of the discussion in the meeting. In South County, the appearance of Cloverdale and Hebo came under harsh scrutiny by the group, spurred by Baker’s “polite” report that said the two unincorporated communities “present less than attractive welcomes to Tillamook County and currently do not present as places worth stopping.” After Baker’s associate Bruce Dickson spoke about the two towns’ “gateway” role along Highway 101, Pacific City resident Doug Olson, who chairs the board of the county’s Economic Development Council that the tourism committee reports to, weighed in. “Bruce, you know in South County, all the communities are unincorporated, meaning they have no city council, mayor, and all of that, unlike the north end of the county,” Olson said. He sought Dickson’s input on how such areas can get the money and enforcement powers to improve their appearance. “Basically, having to work through the county to achieve anything,” Dickson responded. “Then there’s limitations to how much can be achieved from there.” “I’m talking about a grassroots ef-

fort,” Olson said. “I’ve talked to a few people in Cloverdale about forming some kind of (a Local Improvement District) that might be able to, through some kind of tax abatement or actually tax increase or incremental financing, take care of some of the issues in that particular area. But it’s such a small community and there’s relatively few landowners, and there’s a couple landowners that own multiple properties, and so it’s not an easy nut to crack right now.” Committee member and Garibaldi marina owner Val Folkema said the problem of unattractive communities occurs throughout the county. “Hebo and Cloverdale — I kind of feel bad they were targeted,” she said. The lack of clear directional signage for tourist attractions also sparked much discussion. “Turnoffs to towns off of 101 are not adequately signed. Pacific City is an example. It could be easily missed,” said Pacific City resident Jeremy Strober, the president of Kiwanda Hospitality. A perception of unprofessionalism among many business owners — ranging from one-man outfitters to shops and restaurants — also drew a bevy of comments. “There’s actually a new word in our county. It’s called ‘clopen,’” said Folkema, referring to the phenomenon of tourist-related businesses being closed when they should be open. “How do we educate or train or incentivize people who own shops, retail stores, to keep regular hours, do something other than operate on ‘beach time’? That’s always bothered me quite a bit,” Olson said. “You go somewhere and I will guarantee you, if it’s closed in the middle of the day, you’re probably not going back.” “We talk about our small business owners” in the Asset Mapping Report, Strober said. “Many of them are the outfitters, the recreation ‘soft adventure’ outfitters.” He said many “need help in the fundamentals of business management.” “Soft adventure” refers to physical activities for tourists with a low level of risk, discomfort or experience, such as fishing.

CAP seeks new director

THE 2014 DORY DAYS FESTIVAL returns to Pacific City on July 18-20 with parade, marine and artisan fairs, fishing contests, and entertainment. For more details, see story on page 10.

Community Arts Project is seeking applicants to take the reins of the non-profit organization from Kim Cavatorta, who has held the position for the past 20 years. She will be retiring from that capacity this year. Applications are now available for the Executive Director position, a half-time position with salary depending on experience. Founded in 1988, CAP serves Tillamook County and its vicinity. Its mission is “to foster and enhance self-esteem, self-expression, and self-discovery in children and adults through exploration of the arts and the imaginative process of creating.”CAP currently has three programs: Art Literacy at Nestucca Valley Elementary, Art Literacy at Garibaldi Grade School, and the summer art day camp, Slug Soup. For more information about CAP, visit www.communityartsproject.net. For questions, a job description, and/or an employment application, email CAP at info@communityartsproject.net and include “Exec Dir” in the subject line.

Even facilities devoted exclusively to visitors can be disappointing due to a lack of knowledge, a shortage of volunteers or an unwelcoming message, committee members said. Garibaldi House Inn owner Gene Tish mentioned the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce visitor center, with its “no public restroom” sign. “You can’t call it a welcome center at that point,” Tish said. Strober consistently urged infrastructure improvements in the meeting, and frequently mentioned congestion and safety issues at Cape Kiwanda. “From the parking area to the beach access ramp to the beach,” he said, “that’s one of the most populated congested areas for ‘soft adventure’ in the county, and it’s an issue in that it’s not safe and accessible at this point.” The idea of targeting some tourism efforts at second-home owners also came up. “My idea is, if they’re going to be here three days, why not be here four or five and eat out a little more often or whatever? I mean, they’re a target person,” said Olson. “If you can afford a second home on the coast of Oregon, you can afford to eat out once in a while, so let’s take advantage of it.” The group also eyed the conflict between those seeking more tourism and residents who disagree with that goal. “I think if we’re seen as doing things that bring more tourists to areas that are already overrun, that already can’t handle this, without taking steps to improve that experience, I think that will be a conflict,” Strober said. “I think you need to educate people” about the tourism initiative, said Olson. He recounted a conversation with a friend who said, “You know, not everybody thinks this is a great idea.” “We need to win over these people in one fashion or another,” Olson said, “or we’re going to have continuing conflict and we’re not going to be able to do some things we think we want to do or need to do.” Olson noted that the vote for the Transient Lodging Tax that is funding the tourism initiative passed 2-1 among county residents, and added: “But I’m not sure they fully understand the depth of what’s going to happen.”

PCJWSA raises water and sewer rates By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

acific City Joint-Water Sanitary Authority customers can expect to see a $6.60 increase on their July bill as the Authority’s Board of Directors enacted an increase of the sewer capital improvement fee from $5 to $10 and also added $1.60 to the base rate fee during a budget adoption meeting on June 24. The increase was part of a $5.2 million 2014-15 budget, which was also passed at the meeting. Though the budget review committee has recommended increasing the capital improvement fee in the past, the board has not implemented it until now. However, Authority manager Tony Owen told the Sun that a variety of

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • July 11, 2014

factors have placed an increased importance on securing additional funds, including the recent improvement of three sewer lift stations. The Authority also has six more lift stations on the to do list, as well as an in-the-works rehabilitation of the wastewater treatment plan, a project PCJWSA is currently working with USDA Rural Development in drafting a predesign report. Because the fund is only for capital improvements, the Authority also elected to raise the base fee rate from $55.16 to $56.76. Owen said this was necessary because the capital improvement fund does not cover operation and maintenance costs. For more information, visit www.pcjwsa.com.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Proposal would change development rules in community of Neskowin By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

conomic and safety interests were at odds in a July 10 public hearing of the Tillamook County Planning Commission, which met for a presentation and public comments on the Neskowin Coastal Erosion Adaptation Plan. The hearing, which was continuing at press time, concerned a plan that would place new limits on development in a strip at high risk of storm damage. The strip runs along the coast nearly the entire length of Neskowin and bulges eastward to cross Highway 101 at the point where the highway swings closest to the coast. The expectation at the start of the gathering was that the planning commission would continue the hearing for a second session without a decision July 10. A decision on the plan is ultimately up to the county commissioners. The plan had its roots in efforts by the Neskowin Citizen Advisory Committee to lessen risks to safety in the community with the highest percentage of its population at risk of any Oregon coastal community. It was presented by CAC members David Kraybill and Bill Busch, along with county communitydevelopment planner Sarah Absher. But a vocal contingent in the large crowd of Neskowin residents was opposed to the proposed limits, and some were waiting to speak their piece later in the meeting. Kraybill pointed to a series of community meetings over the past four-plus years during which he said opinions were heard regarding what proposed regulations should look like. But later in the hearing, when Kraybill said, “We’re not recommending prohibition of development,” some in the crowd called out, “Yes, you are.” The plan is available online as the “Neskowin Coastal Erosion Adaptation Plan June 2013” at www.co.tillamook. or.us/gov/ComDev/. It has several elements, with recommendations that would affect new construction; improvements costing more than 50 percent of the market value shown on a structure’s last property tax statement; and postdamage reconstructions topping 80 percent of the market value shown on the last tax statement. One element describes the zone affected by the proposal, based on hazard maps from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). It includes areas of active risk (from

the top of Neskowin’s riprap westward), high risk (areas that have a 2 percent chance of being subject to coastal hazards in any year), and medium risk (areas that have a 1 percent chance of being subject to coastal hazards in any year). Another part of the plan would require a new Coastal Hazard Zone permit for construction in the zone, including a geologic report by an engineering geologist. The report would apprise owners of the risk of their proposals to build and would also allow them to show cause if seeking an exemption from the restrictions. Another section of the plan would prohibit new slab-on-grade foundations in the hazard zone and require that new structures be movable on the lot, either vertically or horizontally, through the use of stem wall or pile foundations. Furthermore, the plan would mandate a “safest site” standard, in which a structure could be built on a lot at the location identified as safest by a qualified professional as part of the geologic report. This element also includes landdivision standards, which would limit the creation of building parcels to areas outside the hazard zone; prohibit adding to the number of existing housing units, including accessory dwelling units, to any parcel in the zone that already has a dwelling; and prohibit the creation of additional multi-family dwelling units and accessory dwelling units within the zone, even if current zoning would allow such a change. There would also be a setback requirement from bluff edges for construction. The setback would be at least 50 times the annual erosion rate plus 20 feet, and could be more if the geologic hazard report indicates more setback is necessary. The plan also calls for tighter standards for runoff and drainage controls in the Neskowin area, with the aim of limiting problems that contribute to coastal erosion. Kraybill stressed safety, the desire for low density in the hazard zone, and worsening storm patterns at Neskowin as factors driving the CAC recommendations. “There’s an increased probability of more severe coastal erosion hazards,” he said. “Neskowin, of all the coastal communities in Oregon, has the highest percentage of its residents in the DOGAMI hazard zone. … So that’s why I think we saw the urgency of dealing with this more than other communities.”

The Road Towards Safety Funds needed to turn road donation into emergency access route By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

family’s donation of a long-closed roadway in Neskowin puts the community one step closer to having an emergency route out of town, in case the Hawk Creek Bridge on Salem Avenue ever becomes impassible. Funding — and possible fighting — both lie ahead, as the lengthy effort to secure an emergency route continues. Money to replace a failed culvert still needs to be raised from the state and from residents of the unincorporated community. Some residents want a fulluse roadway, which has a prohibitive price tag. The route as planned would ease some evacuation worries for firefighters, but still wouldn’t support their heavy trucks. But the donation of the closed section of Hawk Street to Tillamook County from the Walton family — whose predecessors owned most of early Neskowin — was hailed by many people involved in securing the potentially life-saving route. County Commissioner Mark Labhart was among those saluting the family. “I just can’t thank the Waltons enough. They didn’t have to do this,” Labhart told the Sun on July 2, the day the donation became official. James “Jeff” Walton said he and his siblings, William and Victoria, hadn’t been aware that they owned the roadway until the county did a title search, since other roadways in the area had long ago been donated to the county by the Walton family. At the north end, the Hawk Street route starts in front of the clubhouse at the Neskowin Marsh Golf Course. The roadway goes south-southwest and emerges at the wayside along Highway 101, avoiding the Hawk Creek bridge. At about the midpoint of the 900-foot-plus stretch, a culvert failure years ago caused the shutdown of the street. The county’s current goal of replac-

ing the culvert — and doing no other upgrades — would open the route for emergency use. The county has already more than met its $50,000 commitment to the project by providing an engineering study. Efforts are underway to get $150,000 from the state. And local supporters of the project face the task of getting the community to provide the final $50,000. A community update will be held at a meeting of the Neskowin Citizen Advisory Committee, set for 2 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s Station 84, on Highway 101 north of the Neskowin turnoff. Labhart said he and county public works director Liane Welch will attend the meeting to listen, but he emphasized that a full-use roadway, with a projected million-dollar price tag, isn’t in the cards now. “We haven’t budgeted for (a full-use road),” Labhart said. “The agreement all along was an emergency access road.” “Maybe we could start out with just fixing the culvert and have an emergency access road as the first step, and then over time maybe we could figure out, do portions of the road,” Labhart continued. Plans call for the route to be barricaded against everyday use, with the possibility of a barrier “that could be broken open real easily” in case of an emergency, Labhart said. Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland is glad that an emergency route for residents is a possibility. “If anything happens to that bridge, you’re done. You can’t get in or out,” he said. He added that for firefighters’ needs, the current plan for an emergency route doesn’t go far enough and that the roadway would need to be upgraded before he’d “run a 60,000-pound fire truck across it.” “It’s not going to be the middle of August when something goes wrong there,” Weiland said. A more likely scenario for trouble would be in November, after two

weeks of rain and high tides, he said. “The ground could be like soup.” Weiland said he has been working on the “evolving situation” with Welch. “It’s moving — at glacial speed — but it’s moving,” he said. Guy Sievert, president of the Neskowin Citizen Advisory Committee, noted that “there’s a lot of debate” over use of the roadway, but said the Waltons’ donation is “absolutely” good news. “For the safety of the people in the community, it’s huge.” The Hawk Creek bridge wouldn’t have to fail for Neskowin to be cut off, he said. A truck carrying riprap during a storm surge could lose boulders on the bridge and block it, he said. Arnie Roblan, the state senator for Neskowin, was frustrated in the last legislative session when money for the project was cut from the budget in the final week. But county ownership of the roadway should make it easier to get state funds, he said, adding: “I am committed to making sure we get that money.” Community activist Chuck Carlbom has worked on the project and is excited to see progress, but he still hopes for a full-use road. “That’s what we’re looking to accomplish,” he said. “To get back what we had before.” Jeff Walton said his family appreciated the opportunity to do right for the community. His great-grandfather, James Walton, the head of the National Bank of Tillamook, became involved in the area around 1908. By 1910, James Walton and his brother William S. Walton had platted the resort town, with a plan to make it almost entirely residential. William S. Walton started the golf course, and it’s rewarding to know that the planned improvement to the emergency route would help manage the water flow for the course, Jeff Walton said. “We believe that’s what our ancestors would want,” Walton said of the road donation. “It’s not very often in life you get a chance to make a difference.”

Noncompliant structures may earn grace period By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

handful of residents that are out of compliance with Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s policy of one hookup for each domicile may get a reprieve if a yet-to-be-approved plan gets adopted. Authority manager Tony Owen told the Sun that the board is considering a policy that would allow a grace period of 120 days for the 15-20 properties that would be affected. The affected properties are ones that have converted their home to multiple dwellings without paying a system development charge — and don’t have separate billings for each. The issue is one PCJWSA has struggled with

for years, but has focused more intently on over the last 12 months. Owen said the challenge has been in developing a policy that isn’t too punitive against those not in conformance while at the same time being fair to the remainder of rate payers. The idea is that everyone should be paying their “fair” share, he says. “We don’t believe people have done this maliciously,” he said. “We just think they didn’t understand what our rules and polices are.” If enacted, those not in compliance would, through an appeal process, be able to avoid paying the development fee and redoing their plumbing. However, under a new billing code the property owner would be billed for the base

monthly fees multiplied by the number of residences in their residence. As it now stands, this would be a limited time offer. Those that don’t take advantage of the amnesty period would be accessed system development fees should PCJWSA discover them at a later date. Owen said he plans to send out notices to affected property owners by September, most likely in advance of the board adopting a formal policy. “More than likely the board is going to adopt a policy at some point, and we want to inform our customers that this is going to be happening in the future,” Owen said. “It’s a really complicated issue; (we’re) trying to make sure that it’s fair to everyone.”

PAVING along Brooten Road was coming to an end the week of July 7-11. The timeline for striping and shoulder work has yet to be determined.

50% off

Tranquil Travels

illamook County was winding up the paving job on Brooten Road the week of July 7-11, with striping and shoulder work set for the weeks and months ahead. The paving of the 2.2-mile stretch from Highway 101 to Fisher Road began June 16 and originally was projected to be finished before the Fourth of July, but heavy traffic during the holiday week spurred a change in plans. “We took the whole week of the Fourth off,” said Liane Welch, the county’s public works director. “We did have some water breaks,” she said on July 8. “They certainly added a little bit of challenge, but we overcame the challenges.” Marion County has contracted to stripe more than 600 miles of Tillamook County roads starting July 14, but when that striping crew will come to Brooten Road is unknown, Welch said. Shoulder rock will be placed along Brooten Road this fall, she said, and in the meantime there will be an abrupt drop-off along

the edges of the road. Welch urged motorists to keep their speeds down as they travel the “nice new road.” Tony Owen, manager of Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority, said that as of the morning of July 9, there had been four or five breaks in his agency’s brittle water lines, which run only about 30 inches beneath the surface in the paving area. “We’ve had several water breaks down there that we’ve had to repair,” with most of them affecting the Nestucca Keys area, he said. The longest outage was about an hour, he added. The water authority did some work in advance of the paving, installing new valves for the Nestucca Manor area, which allowed the agency to isolate outages so that fewer people were cut off from water. “That worked out really well for us,” he said. Owen was anticipating another day and a half of paving when he spoke with the Sun, including overlay work that was to involve a roller instead of a vibrating compactor. “I’m hopeful that we’re good,” he said.

id you know that men have a 1-in-2 and women a 1-in-3 risk of developing cancer? The Pelican Brewing Company and Inn at Cape Kiwanda have combined forces to put together a Relay for Life Team made up of employees, family and friends. The team, “Flock of Pelicans,” is participating in a number of fund raisers with all proceeds going to the Tillamook Chapter of the American Cancer Association. All funds raised will stay in Tillamook County and help cancer patients with transportation to their appointments, the cost of meals and hotels necessary during treatments, counseling support and more. Any money left at the end of the fiscal year goes to the American Cancer Association for cancer research. The Flock of Pelican’s fund raising efforts for the Relay for Life will culminate in a 24-hour walk/run “relay” held at the Tillamook Fairgrounds July 26-27. On June 25, the Pelican hosted a fundraising dinner with live music by Brent McCune. The dinner raised about $700 for the Flock of Pelican’s Team and showcased the newly painted purple toilet. “The idea behind the purple toilet was to create some levity around an otherwise fairly serious topic,” commented team member Cathy O’Donnell. “We had heard of other teams using the toilet to promote the relay and thought it was a great idea — give your change to flush away cancer!” “The toilet has been a hit,” commented Susanne Johnson, assistant manager at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda. “We placed the toilet in the lobby of the Inn and our guests and staff have had a great time with it. You can’t help but

FUNDS DONATED into the “purple toilet” set up by Pelican Brewing and Inn at Cape Kiwanda’s Relay for Life team “Flock of Pelicans,” will go towards the effort to “flush away cancer.” The funds will help those in Tillamook County. throw some change into it. And the kids just love it!” Look for the purple toilet around town and in the Dory Days Parade. The Flock of Pelican’s has been working with other businesses in town to host the toilet, including The Sportsman’s Pub-nGrub and Twist Wine Bar. The Oar House has agreed to host the purple toilet the week before Dory Days. Organizers say they are encouraging the public to donate their change and “flush away cancer.” Those interested in participating in Relay for Life (no you don’t have to run!) or who want more information about the Pelican’s fundraising efforts, can contact Jill Severson at the Pelican or Stephanie Welch at the business office at 503-9657779, ext 307.

Two suspects eyed after seizure of IEDs By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

n adult and a juvenile, both from the Willamette Valley, are being investigated by the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office after homemade improvised explosive devices were seized on the beach at Pacific City on July 5. Criminal citations have been issued for the people suspected of possessing the IEDs. The devices were seized at night in a box containing fireworks, and deputies did not recognize the IEDs immediately. “They’re a pipe bomb, basically,” Sheriff Andy Long told the Sun. “Anything that’s been modified like that is illegal.” “One hundred percent, that would have hurt somebody on the beach,” he added. “Pretty serious deal to be blow-

ing them up on the beach.” Multiple IEDs were seized, and the two largest required destruction at the sheriff’s office on July 7 by Oregon State Police personnel using a “water gun,” which shredded the devices while preserving evidence, Long said. The “sparkler bombs” were created by tightly wrapping hundreds of sparklers in layers of duct tape, with one sparkler protruding as a fuse. The resulting explosion is powerful and can spray sparkler shrapnel in all directions. The two large bombs were three or four inches in diameter, Long said. “The fact that the deputies had to handle these dangerous IEDs and a person brought them to the beach around several hundred people, and most likely planned to set them off, is extremely concerning,” Long said in a news release.

Dory Days: Celebrating a Storied

TRADITION

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ne of the most storied fishing fleets on the West Coast will be feted July 18-20 when the 55th annual Dory Days Festival returns to Pacific City for three days of fun featuring a parade, kids’ activities, a marine and artisan fair, live music and fishing contests. With the history behind Pacific City’s dory fleet, perhaps organizers could not have come up with a more appropriate theme than this year’s mantra: “A Boatload of Tradition.” Yet, this is a festival that also has an eye on the present, too. “I think it’s a great way to bring the community together in a fun way,” said event chair Shelley Dickson. “For tourists, it’s an opportunity to come down and learn about the history of dory boats.” The celebration opens July 18 with an Artisan Fair held at the four-way stop in downtown Pacific City that will feature handmade wares ranging from wood carvings to jewelry, pottery to homegrown plants, candles to cotton candy. Open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday, July 18, the Artisan Fair will also boast hours of noon-5 p.m. on Saturday, July 19 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday, July 20. The honoring of Pacific City’s famous fleet will continue on Saturday when revelers can get fueled up at a Pancake Breakfast that will benefit the Nestucca Fire Volunteer’s Association, 7-10 a.m., at Kiawanda Community Center. The meal of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and ham and choice of drink is $6 for adults, $3 for kids 12 and under. Attention will then shift to the celebration’s main event, a parade that will march from Bob Straub State Park to downtown Pacific City before finishing at Chester’s Thriftway, starting at 11 a.m. The Dory Days Parade always draws a crowd with tourists and locals alike lining Pacific Avenue and Brooten Road to see a wide selection of dories, politicians

and decorated floats. This year, the parade will be led by Grand Marshal Gary Smith, who started his dory career in 1950 with Norm Reddekopp and Clarence Neal and later progressed through two Calkins doubleenders before buying Photo by Tim Hirsch the square stern Tyee THE DORY DAYS parade will return to Pacific City on July 19 as part of Dory Days, which will feain 1968.

beach home is many things to many people. And whether you’re talking about a cozy early 1900s cottage or a lavishly appointed modern condo, the village of Neskowin is a fine example of what residents and tourists alike clamor for in a seaside getaway. To share their eclectic and heartwarming beach town, Neskowin is hosting their bi-annual Neskowin Cottage Walk on Saturday, July 19, 11 a.m.4 p.m. The beach walk is expected to feature 15 homes that will include everything from quaint early homes like co-organizer’s Kacy Joyce’s 700-square foot cottage that was once a “cook house” to oceanfront townhomes. “Neskowin is one of those com-

munities where you’ve either been there your whole life or you’ve never heard of that,” said co-organizer Susan Amort. “It’s a very family-friendly, dogfriendly beach. Many of the houses here go back at least three generations. It’s a very comfortable place to vacation and live in.” Held every other year since 1998, the event doubles as a fundraiser for the Neskowin Community Association, which supports community events, local schools and charitable organizations. Admission is $20 per person and tickets are available at Neskowin Farmers Market, Windermere West in Pacific City or can be purchased the day of the event. Golf carts will be available to shuttle people from house to house. For more information on the Neskowin Cottage Walk, call Susan Amort at 503-312-4622.

EVENTS&ACTIVITIES

Musical Festival Strikes a Chord Pacific City Music Festival returns for July 25-26 concert series Lovers of folk music take note — the Pacific City Music Festival will be gracing downtown Pacific City, July 25 and 26. Music is planned from 6-9 p.m. on Friday and from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday. To find the festival, now in its fifth year, head for the four-way flashing light in downtown Pacific City and follow the music. Started in 2010 by brothers Doug and Mark Henderson, who had the idea to celebrate family, friends, and music on the Oregon Coast, the event was originally held at a family member’s vacation home in Pacific City, but quickly outgrew the home. What was originally a gathering for family and friends has morphed into a free public event with more than 100 people in attendance over the two days. Eight musicians will take part in the 2014 Pacific City Music Festival – Dan Weber, Suzan Lundy, Dan Dover, John Manns, Jerry Towell, Andy Goncalves, Tom Arnold, and Avery Hill. Dan Weber has been described as “the classic mid-life overnight sensation” In 2013 he won third place in the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Contest and was a finalist in the Kerrville Folk Festival songwriter contest two of the last three years. Though Weber had a late start to his songwriting career, he has a lifetime of personal stories saved up to tell through song. He is working on fol-

DAN WEBER will be amongst eight performers taking the mic at the Pacific City Music Festival on July 25-26 in downtown Pacific City. lowing up his CD, “Ash and Bone” with a new CD in 2014. Avery Hill, an emerging singersongwriter from Portland, Ore., recently returned from a joint tour with Weber. Their “Front Porch Tour” took them through 14 cities from Arkansas to Wisconsin in 20 days. Her first record EP, “Fare Thee Well,” released in 2012, was featured on Tom May’s River City Folk. Returning Pacific City Music Festival performer Dan Dover, a self-described “poet, philosopher, and songwriter,” has played a wide variety of venues including coffeehouses, state fairs, corporate gigs, harvest festivals, and taverns. He has been writing songs for more than 35 years and plays mostly original

contemporary folk music and some covers. Tom Arnold, another PCMF alumni, grew up in New Hampshire and now calls Portland home. He started writing songs early in his life and has been called “a master of words” that he “delivers with enthusiasm and conviction.” Guitar player and songwriter Jerry Towell studied music at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Ore. In addition to playing folk music, he also fronts the classic rock band “House of Shims.” Suzan Lundy, who was raised mostly in Memphis, Tenn., has a “strong compassion for music that tells the story of the people.” She plays guitar, piano, mandolin, and mountain dulcimer. Songwriter and guitarist Andy Goncalves is also a member of the band “Boa Saida,” which plays a blend of progressive folk and classical music. Goncalves says, “Music for me is about finding freedom for true expression, letting the inside out, and with that the opportunity to open my own heart as well as others’ more fully.” John Manns can be seen playing venues in the Portland area. The 21 and over only event will have beer and wine available for purchase, but admission to the concerts is free. For more information, e-mail pcmfinfo@gmail.com.

THE CLASSROOM&BEYOND

Explosive Education

on the

Loose

By DEE MOORE for the Sun

estucca Valley summer school science students were getting explosive reactions this past Thursday, July 10. The youngsters were combining Coca-Cola and Mentos candy as part of Nestucca Valley Community Alliance’s educational outreach to help elementary-age students have a stronger foundation in science. Students were given an opportunity to help with the experiments — often with soaking results. Each volunteer would hunker down over the bottle of cola, pull the trigger to drop the candy into the soda and then run. This was followed by a collective “whoosh” as the candy hit the soda causing a geyser of Photo by Dee Moore foam to shoot more than four STUDENTS paint wooden fish cutouts as part of their summer school scifeet up into the air.

A Great Weekend By VERNE MOBLEY Lions Club President

Another Clover’s Day has come and gone. What a great weekend it was as us local city people saluted the dairy industry. Local folks who started the planning in January were Kris Weiland, Jeremy Strober, Verne Mobley, Ruby Fry Matson, Dorothy Fann, John & Carol Griggs, Gus Peterson and Kathryn Hedrick. Our local newspaper guy, Tim Hirsch, of the PC Sun, was great at helping our promoting. Great weather and the famous Countryfied band made a fun day for all who also enjoyed one of the best parades in recent memory. Our busy Lion’s Club put up flags in Cloverdale and Pacific City on July 4, then again in Cloverdale to honor our cow, Clover. Kara Hale let us have “Clover” for the day. She is a BIG Holstein cow who loves the attention! Thanks, Kara!! Shelley Trent headed up the Dairy women’s group who used up a good share of the ice cream in Tillamook County with their 25 cent cones. Thank you Shelley and crew!!! Iona Wakefield organized the 5K and 8K races over into dairy country. Thanks Iona, a runner herself besides running the mail. The Lions’ elephant ear wagon was successful raising funds for our graduating seniors. During Countryfied’s show, we paused to honor three Lions. Ken (Corky) Lane, who has lived in Hebo most of his 88 years — except for his service in WWII. He has moved to Salem to be close to son Bob and other family. Corky will stay busy “witching” wells and trimming friends’ and neighbor’s horses’ feet. Wow! Corky and John and Mary Love are charter members of the club, which was chartered 31 years ago. The Loves have moved to Five Rivers Retirement Center — maybe temporarily. These three people are just “precious people’ to this writer and so many in this community. It’s great to be a Lion!

CHILDREN’S SPECIAL

ere we are in what I call the start of the dog days of summer on the Nestucca River. Spring Chinook fishing is starting to wane, many salmon are starting to turn dark and the water has become just too darn low to effectively drift and fish for springers. Three Rivers closes for the summer in just a few short days, July 16 to be exact, and the Nestucca will close to all salmon fishing Aug. 1. Salmon are still being caught, but the numbers aren’t great — and fisherman participation is dwindling as well. The one bright spot for summer fishing in the Nestucca is summer steelhead. They showed up in numbers a couple of weeks ago, and the run seems to be better than last year’s not-so-great run. Summer steelhead are harder to catch in that they require a much more refined approach and presentation. The water is now low and clear, and summers have keen eyesight. Often, you give yourself away long before you know there are even steelhead in the area you have chosen to fish. Not wading in the water when fishing and standing back from the stream’s edge and wearing camouflage colors can all be a big help in not spooking summer fish. Smaller presentations, smaller hooks, baits and much lighter lines will get more attention than what you would normally use for winter steelhead. For example, when fishing for winter steelhead ,you would use 10- to 12-pound leaders and anything from a no. 1,1/0 or 2/0 hook. For summer steelhead, 6- to 8-pound leaders and no. 2 or smaller hooks will catch more fish. Natural baits like crawfish tails or night crawlers work better than corkies and yarn or spin n go’s. Spinners will work, but going small —no. 3s or no. 4’s — catches more steelhead in the summer than bigger spinners. Last but not least, using a pontoon boat, canoe, or kayak is about the only way you can get down the low river. It will help to

park your boat upstream and carefully walk down to any water you wish to fish. If you run a boat over a fishing hole, you will either scare all the fish into not biting, or they will just leave the hole. Ocean fishing has started to take off. Halibut fishing, so far, has been slow. With only a few halibut being caught, there have been lots of unhappy fishermen for the early season. Coho salmon fishing, however, has been fair to good. Most coho have been a little small, 6 to 7 pounds on average, but that will change as the season goes on. Coho put on anywhere from 1-3 pounds a month depending on available feed. Bottom fishing has been pretty good on the days you can get out. Launching a dory in high surf is a “no no,” and we just haven’t had that many good water condition days. On the days that fishermen can get out. fishing for ling cod has been great. I’m told that sea bass has been spotty — some days are good, some are not. Tuna fishing is still a ways off for most. They have had some small successes going way off shore. Sixty miles and more is how far those that venture out are having to travel to find any tuna. Even with that, the numbers aren’t very good yet. It won’t be too many more weeks; however, and the warmer water currents will come closer to shore and the numbers of tuna will improve. Most dory fishermen prefer it when the Ttna are from five to 20 miles offshore. This makes getting to the ground for tuna much easier — and much safer if the ocean should change its temperament. Fishing for rainbow trout in our local lakes has been excellent. Hebo Lake and South Lake have both been the beneficiary of late additional stockings of trout, and it has kept the fishery very lively. Hebo Lake and South Lake have really very beautiful campgrounds, set in old growth fir and spruce trees on national forest land. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to take your family for a relaxing camp out. Hebo Lake has a trail head that goes up to the summit for those that would also like a day hike.

Cloverdale: Then and Now By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

loverdale was once a thriving center of commerce in South Tillamook County. Sadly, it has deteriorated like so many other small towns in Oregon. Cloverdale was established a few years after the town of Woods, primarily as a dairy farming community. It was reached via Old Woods Road from Woods on the west side of the Nestucca River. The founder, Charles Ray, built a house in the center of town, which still stands. He also built the first cheese factory in 1890 with a hotel above the factory. Ray established the first mercantile store in 1894. The post office, founded on July 1, 1899, was located in his store. The name Cloverdale was suggested by CLOVERDALE, circa 1938 is pictured in the photograph above. It was Cloverdale, California, where Ray taken four years after the town hall and cheese factory burned down.

By 1907, a new school was built southwest of town. The first four-year high school began graduating students in 1918. The Nestucca Presbyterian Church was built in 1904 with lumber salvaged from the wreck of the schooner “Pioneer” offshore of Ocean Park (Pacific City). Today, it’s barely standing and needs to be torn down. In 1915, Cloverdale had its own weekly newspaper, drug store, telephone company, blacksmith shop, harness and shoe repair shop, billiard parlor and band. Power was supplied by a water wheel until the mid 1920s. A large fire swept through Cloverdale in 1920, burning most of the buildings on the north side of main street. feed store has been in the same location for decades.
