The Battle Over the Buoy Decision expected on whether to replace Cape Kiwanda buoy with whistle device By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
C
oncerned citizens got a crash course on the state of Cape Kiwanda’s navigational buoy — and the reasoning behind changes in recent years — during a public meeting on June 5 at Kiawanda Community Center. Following introductory statements by John Moriarty, who leads waterways management for U.S. Coast Guard District 13, they were given the chance to ask “technical” questions but were asked to reserve opinion for later. At the end of the meeting, written comments were taken at several hosted stations at the center. Moriarty told the crowd of about 100 that though they are open to solutions and respect the reservations of residents about the last time a whistle buoy was placed, their number one priority is the safety of mariners. His “guestimate” was that he’d make a decision within two weeks on whether to replace the current bell buoy with a whistle device. “We came here because we know the passion that’s involved and they’re all good solid-based reasons for having that. We will have to make a decision. We can’t afford to (keep changing the buoys) out based on the whims of the day,” he said. According to Moriarty, the problem with the bell buoy has been twofold. For one, the “clappers” which clang on the bell have historically had to be replaced every three months — a far more frequent repair interval than the one-year cycle that most buoys on
the coast get. The other issue is wildlife — sea lions often climb aboard the device and lean against the clappers, preventing them from ringing the bell. Both issues, he said, are not present in whistle buoys. “There was so much action (on the bell in Pacific City), it was disintegrating the clappers,” he said. But a whistle buoy, which was the original device placed at Cape Kiwanda, and returned in 2010 before public outcry persuaded the Coast Guard to replace it with the bell device now on the waters, is much more reliable, Moriarty told the Pacific City crowd. “A whistle buoy (is basically) impossible to damage (as it has no moving parts),” he said. One of the limiting factors to an eventual decision is the technology available to the Coast Guard. When it comes to navigational buoys, the Coast Guard has three options: the maligned whistle buoy that some residents said sounded like a “sick cow” during the previous installation, the bell buoy, and a gong, which uses a similar “clapper” technology and would also be subject to interference from sea lions. When the Coast Guard does make a change, it would also like to move the buoy another 500 yards out. It has already been moved 200-300 yards further out than the location that the 2010 whistle buoy occupied. Craig Wenrick, co-chair of the Dorymen’s Association, speculated that such a change could mean a different tone as he theorized that the earlier position may have created the offending sound. He said
that when he was west of the buoy, it sounded “normal,” i.e. not like a sick cow. During the Q & A, Wenrick asked if there was a possibility that in the earlier location the sound echoed off Haystack Rock, causing the offending sound, and that, if the buoy is moved further offshore, that will result in a less offensive noise. “We’re hopeful,” Moriarty said. Responding to a comment that in viewing YouTube videos, whistle buoys sound differently despite the fact that they are supposed to be constructed according to the same specifications, Moriarty added that sound variance could be due to either being manufactured at different times or to environmental variables. “The more energy (forced through the flute-like design of the whistle buoy), the higher the pitch,” he said. Other comments during the technical issues Q & A included a request from Pacific City resident Carolyn McVicker that if a whistle buoy is placed here again can we “technically” make sure that it’s “not the one that was here in 2010.” Amongst the comments collected at the final portion of the meeting included a comment that the whistle buoy — especially if it results in the same sound as the 2010 buoy — could cause a detrimental effect on property values, tourism, to wildlife, and to quality of life. Others questioned the need for a buoy in the age of technology and GPS, a question addressed by some dorymen who said that when in heavy fog, a buoy is essential as the threat of equipment failure is a real worry.
ODFW seeks comment on fish passage exemption on Sand Creek Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking public comment on a request to exempt from fish passage requirements a proposed dam and culvert replacement on Sand Creek, a tributary to the Nestucca River located near Pacific City. Comments are due by June 23. The dam, which is owned by ODFW, forms Town Lake, a popular trout and bass fishery. The culvert, owned by Tillamook County, is located immediately downstream and conveys Sand Creek under Sandlake Road. Both the dam structure and culvert are failing and in need of replacement. The replacement of existing artificial obstructions, such as dams and culverts, triggers ODFW fish passage requirements. Recent surveys upstream of the dam did not find any native migratory fish such as cutthroat trout or lamprey. How-
ever, ODFW biologists believe it is likely some cutthroat trout inhabit this stretch of the creek. According to Ken Loffink, ODFW assistant fish passage coordinator, ODFW may grant the exemption if there is no appreciable benefit to fish from providing passage. In Sand Creek, a series of natural barriers 100 feet below the dam and culvert block all upstream fish migration to the project site and the approximately 2,000 feet of habitat located upstream of the dam and culvert. Given that a complete natural barrier exists 100 feet downstream of the dam and culvert, Loffink said ODFW has made an initial determination that even if fish passage was provided at the proposed new dam and culvert, the action would not result in an appreciable benefit to native migratory fish. Therefore, unless the department
receives public comment that would affect its determination, the exemption request will be approved. If in the future, conditions in Sand Creek change to the extent that providing passage at this site would benefit native migratory fish, this exemption may be revoked. In the meantime, members of the public will have until June 20 to submit written comments on the proposed plan. The fish passage exemption application and the department’s benefit analysis are available at http://www.dfw. state.or.us/fish/passage/. Members of the public can send written comments to or request additional information from Ken Loffink, ODFW Assistant Fish Passage Program Coordinator, 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr. SE, Salem, OR 97302, e-mail, Ken.J.Loffink@state.or.us, or by calling 503-947-6256.

New flood maps set Studies bring area one step closer to resumption of building permits as CAC hosts map presentation By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun
N
ew flood maps for the lower Nestucca River are scheduled to be presented by the county’s chief development official at the next meeting of the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee, set for 10:30 a.m. June 21 at Pacific Coast Bible Church, adjacent to the post office at 35220 Brooten Road in Pacific City. The public is welcome. “Preliminary maps will be available,” said Bryan Pohl, the director of the Tillamook County Community Development Department. The maps show changes both higher and lower in the potential levels of flooding along the Nestucca, compared with the 1978 maps that the county used for years, Pohl said. The new maps show a base flood elevation — the level that floodwaters have a 1 percent chance of reaching in any year — that is six or seven inches higher in some areas and six or seven inches lower in other areas, compared with the old maps. The rise in some areas is less than the three-foot “freeboard” the county has mandated for many years, which requires the first floor of any structure to be at least three feet above the level considered to be the BFE. The maps, prepared for the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, mark a crucial step toward the eventual lifting of a building-permit moratorium in low-lying parts of Pacific City. The maps are the result of floodway studies done by the Portland office of West Consultants, which were carried out after a FEMA audit found that decades of incorrectly permitted development might have altered the BFE. FEMA, which is essentially the only source for the flood insurance required by many mortgages, subsequently removed all of Tillamook County from a program that provided a 20 percent flood-insurance discount to property owners. In March, county officials imposed the building-permit moratorium along the Nestucca — and a matching moratorium in the Nehalem area — to prevent even more drastic financial consequences for policyholders throughout the county. The preliminary flood maps will be submitted to FEMA for a reviewand-appeal process that could last a year or more, but Pohl has emphasized in recent weeks that the moratorium might end sooner if FEMA accepts the new maps as the best available information. “This study is a lot more detailed” than the 1978 maps, Pohl said.

Traffic delays on Brooten Road start June 16 Road construction likely to cause some water service interruptions By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun Crews are starting a three-week project to rebuild a 2.2-mile stretch of Brooten Road, in a job that officials say will include traffic delays, dust and a high likelihood of water-line breaks. The payoff, said Tillamook County Public Works Director Liane Welch, is that “we’re going to have a really good road when we’re done — it’s going to have a long life.” Prep work has been underway in recent weeks, and the job that Welch called a “total rehabilitation” of Brooten Road from Highway 101 to Fisher Road will begin June 16. “We should be done before the Fourth of July weekend,” Welch told the county commissioners on June 4. “Please expect up to 20-minute delays, which is a long time in the life of the traveling public. It’s a blink of an eye to an operator trying to regrade that road,” she added. “Also, it’s going to be very dusty.” Welch urged motorists to use Resort Drive as an alternate route, and said workers have mowed along Resort Drive to improve sight lines in anticipation of increased traffic. Road and Driveway Co. of Newport, the contractor on the Brooten Road project, will be responsible for rebuilding the road, with the county taking care of grading and traffic control. The lengthy traffic delays, with county flaggers on hand, will occur during work hours, which are set for 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. At other times, signage will be

in place, and motorists who need to travel through the work zone are urged to drive slowly “so they don’t tear up the new work,” Welch said. Residents of Nestucca Keys and the Nestucca Manor area could experience more inconvenience than just delays and dust, since those two neighborhoods are likely to have occasional losses of water service because of line breakage during the roadwork, said Tony Owen, the director of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority. The water utility’s underground lines in the Brooten Road right-of-way are only about 30 to 36 inches beneath the surface, and will be subject to heavy vibration from the road rebuilding. “It’s really the water I’m worried about more than the sewer,” said Owen, who expects some breaks in water lines because they’re made of an asbestos cement material that cracks more easily than sewer lines do. Owen emphasized the safety of the waterline material. “We have to test for asbestos in the drinking water. We’ve never had any issues,” he said. Owen has sent letters to the affected areas to provide a heads-up about the possible water interruptions. Water-line breaks will require workers to shut off the flow, dig out the line and do repairs. Such a task might take a couple hours, Owen said, but he cautioned that the length of an outage depends on the severity of the problem. Water-line breaks could affect the timetable of the road rebuilding, Welch
cautioned. “We could have a real mess out there,” she said. “They’ve got some pretty old water lines.” Additionally, the county is seeking to buy 120,000 gallons of water from the Pacific City utility to mix with cement for paving, but Owen said the county’s request for water would be a lower priority than satisfying the needs of regular customers. “We’re not going to run out of water,” he said. “Our customers come first. The use of water for construction is secondary.” Kris Weiland, chief of the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, doesn’t expect a problem with emergency response times because of the roadwork. “The only thing is, you have restricted flow” from traffic backups on Brooten Road, Weiland said, but the department has Resort Drive as an alternate route for emergency runs that don’t require going through the work zone. Because of the “good options,” Weiland said, the roadwork should have a “minute amount of effect on what we do.” Welch said no bridges will be shut down by the Brooten Road rehabilitation, and if emergency vehicles need to pass through the work zone, “we will open the road and get them through.” The Brooten Road work is part of a $1.4 million project that also includes rehabilitation of Latimer Road outside Tillamook. The money comes from a $15 million general-obligation road bond approved by Tillamook County voters in May 2013.
Art contests benefit habitat and species conservation The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced an art contest to select the winning artwork that will be featured on the 2015 Habitat Conservation Stamp and other promotional materials. The winning artist will receive $1,000 and 25 artist prints. The contest opened June 10 and closes 5 p.m. Aug. 29. To see a list of species that can be depicted, as well as rules, an entry form and previous award winners, visit http://www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/habitat_ conservation_stamp.asp. The winning entry will be chosen at an event in the fall. After judging, all art that meets contest requirements will be on display. The Habitat Conservation Stamp program allows Or-
egonians to purchase a collector stamp to support conservation of Oregon’s native species and habitats as identified in the Oregon Conservation and Nearshore strategies. Revenue will be used for restoration of the native habitats that are home to the state’s fish and wildlife. Habitat Conservation Stamps for 2014 and other promotional materials are on sale now wherever fishing and hunting licenses are sold. The 2015 ODFW Upland Gamebird Art Contest is also underway. It also closes on Aug. 29. The featured species is the Hungarian/Gray partridge. The sale of Upland Game Bird Validation stamps generates much of the revenue for upland game bird management activities. These funds also promote upland bird habitat enhancement and restoration, which provide benefits for many species of fish and wildlife.

Marketing the ‘Tillamook Coast’
TLT-funded program moves toward solicitation of ideas from public By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun
F
orget Tillamook County — it’s “The Tillamook Coast” that tourists will be urged to visit as the county ratchets up a tourism initiative funded by a new lodging tax. “It’s evocative,” said Bill Baker, of Tualatin-based Total Destination Marketing, as he addressed the county’s Tourism Advisory Committee during a June 10 meeting at Tillamook Bay Community College. Counties don’t work as destinations, he said, because a county is “a government thing.” Baker’s firm is responsible for a branding initiative, one of several activities underway as Tillamook County looks at how it will spend more than $1 million in anticipated tourism funds this year. The money is coming from the Transient Lodging Tax, a countywide tax on rentals of less than 30 days that was approved by voters last November. The revenue will largely fund the tourism initiative, with 70 percent going to that project, while the remaining 30 percent will cover the administrative costs connected with the tax and boost the county’s road fund. “Emotion has everything to do with everything,” Baker said as he described the ongoing branding process. He described how the head of Revlon cosmetics said the company “sells hope,” and said selling “emotional benefits” is key to destination marketing. In the case of visits to Tillamook County, Baker said, such benefits could include a sense of escape, the feeling of being a great parent, being pampered and rewarded, camaraderie, freedom, inspiration, discovery, togetherness, rejuvenation and romance. In his outreach so far to residents of Tillamook County and potential visitors to the area from Portland, Baker said the two groups offered similar lists of local attractions. Tillamook County residents spoke of beaches, landscapes, natural beauty, an unspoiled atmosphere and a small-town feel, while Portland residents spoke of Tillamook County’s parks and forests, estuaries and bays, beauty, unspoiled beaches and a sense that the area is not overdeveloped. Baker cautioned that some things local residents might like to promote would not be effective components of a tourism campaign. “You do have to pick winners,” he said. The Tillamook County Economic Development Council has contracted with the county to handle the tourism initiative, and EDC vice-chair Doug Olson, owner of the Inn at Pacific City, has been central to the project. He led the Tourism Advisory Committee meeting and updated the panel on progress since its last gathering. Olson said a request for proposals for the tourism initiative’s website design drew several responses, and interim tourism director John Hope-Johnstone has narrowed the list to three: California-based Drozian Webworks; Seattle-based Rally Group, which has a Portland office; and Tillamook Design. Olson also told the advisory panel that 20 people applied for the job of permanent tourism director, a
position that will take the reins of the tourism initiative after Hope-Johnstone’s contract ends on Aug. 31. Four applicants are being scheduled for in-depth personal interviews, with a goal of making a job offer by the end of July and having a permanent director in place after Labor Day. If that timetable isn’t possible, Olson said, the new director might start the job in October. Jeremy Strober of Pacific City, one of the nine members of the Tourism Advisory Committee, told fellow panelists he would like to see an emphasis on infrastructure in the early years of the initiative, and he offered more thoughts on the topic in a later conversation with the Sun. He qualified his remarks by noting that the tourism initiative is in its early stages and still will be receiving public requests for projects, but he listed several ideas for the Pacific City area. “I think the tax is very important for unincorporated communities like ours to catch up in our ability to serve the current level of tourism and then prepare for growth as the amount of tourism increases,” said Strober, who is president of Kiwanda Hospitality, the county’s largest lodging provider. He would like to see a rebuilding and widening of the Cape Kiwanda visitor and emergency access ramp — commonly known as the dory ramp — plus improvements to the surrounding parking lot, with a goal of better access, better flow, an increase in safety and a better visitor experience. He said a rebuilding of the public restrooms at the cape, improved way-finding signage and safe pedestrian access would also make a better experience for visitors. Strober also called for improvements in garbage pickup and recycling at the cape, expansion of the Cape Kiawanda Community Center to accommodate more conferences and events, sand removal, and ongoing funding to maintain improvements. He noted that Merrianne Hoffman, president of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, has suggested improvements at the turnaround at the west end of Beachy Bridge, where sand removal could open up parking for 75 cars. Parking there, along with garbage pickup, would relieve the pressure on the cape, he said. Strober also would like to see funding devoted to the Noble Wayside at the north end of Cloverdale, a planned and approved project that would be an amenity for visitors. The wayside needs funds for a parking lot, information kiosk, restrooms and a bus stop, he said. His hope, he said, is that the tourism funding will “improve the infrastructure to improve the visitor experience as the community works to increase visitor numbers.” Gloria Scullin, the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance president and a part-time resident of Pacific City, also serves on the Tourism Advisory Committee. She told the Sun that she hopes the initiative “will not only enhance tourism, but bring jobs to Tillamook County … attracting business would be a good thing.” As the tourism initiative moves toward the phase of seeking public suggestions for spending, she said there will need to be criteria to rank the ideas. “There’s a finite amount of money,” Scullin said.

he dory fleet of Pacific City was honored June 7 when a beach full of dorymen, community members and their families gathered at Cape Kiwanda for an afternoon of song, prayer and well-wishing for fishermen gearing up for another season of casting their lines in the waters off of Cape Kiwanda. A time-honored tradition that is sponsored by the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, the event got started off with vocalist Connie Hays performing the National Anthem followed by opening remarks from organizer Terry Learned, a respected dory boat builder based in Pacific City. “We’ve got a great turnout,” said Learned as he addressed the crowd about the reason for the blessing. “The idea of the Blessing of the Fleet is that the Lord will watch over us as we head offshore, as we do our fishing and have a safe return home.” His remarks were punctuated with the sound of “Amazing Grace,” as former Lawrence Welk trumpet player Johnny Zell teamed up with a brass quintet from Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School — and band director Kathleen Serven. Clergy, too, left their mark on the ceremony. Amongst those offering words of encouragement (in order of appearance) were Cloverdale Baptist Church Pastor Randy Winesburgh, Pacific Coast Bible Church Pastor Dan Mason, retired Army Chaplain Louis Chandler and retired Catholic priest James Dieringer. In his comments to dorymen and community members, Winesburgh acknowledged Pacific City as a community “forever tied to this greatest of oceans. “We gather to remember not only those that died at sea but friends and family tied to this fleet who have passed on,” he said. “We ask that God bless the harvest of the wealth of sea life that will be brought in this season. ... As you venture out on the waters (and) gaze upon the heavens and the shore, be aware of this — the God that made and sustains all that you experience wants you to know that he is and he wants you to have a relationship with you so
much that he sent Jesus Christ to pay for your sins. If you pass from the sight of land or if the fog rolls in on you — that happens, too — you’ll use various means and instruments to find your way home. Similarly, if you stray from God to the point you can’t find your way, turn to the Bible as your compass and guide.” “I just love this time of the Blessing of the Dory Fleet,” added Mason. “It’s a time where we get to collectively come together and honor God by petitioning him, asking him for safety, for protection.” In his prayer of blessing, Chandler gave thanks for a wonderful year, for those that have served in the military and for the sea. “To those that recreate in the sea, to those that get the bounty of the sea and those that venture on the waters, we ask for protection,” he said. “Calm the seas as they travel and teach us to respect the waters. Keep us close to you.” Dorymen’s Association co-chair Craig Wenrick, a commercial fishermen, also added this own thoughts on the coming season. Recalling an article published in 2008, he noted that while it may be common perception that fishing in the Bering Sea is more dangerous than here on the Pacific Coast, that’s not the case. He said that fishing off the West Coast of the U.S. has one of the highest death rates for commercial fishing — even higher than Alaska. It is with that fact in mind that he answered the question he often hears: “So why do you do it?” “That’s a good question,” he said. “When you get out there, whatever god you believe in, you’re right with him. You look around and it’s beautiful, just beautiful.” The ceremony also included the reading of the names of those dorymen and their family members that passed on during the last year, followed by the announcement of the addition of three more names that will be added to the Dorymen’s Memorial Wall.

Community contributions included a stint as president of the Pacific City-Woods Recreational Area Protective League, a group that was successful in thwarting an effort by the State Highway Commission to relocate the highway and traverse the Nestucca Spit. In 1968, Johnston moved his family to Pacific City during the summer to commercial fish. He later purchased 8.5 acres and opened Cape Kiwanda RV Park (now Cape Kiwanda RV Resort), which served mainly as a campground for Pacific City dorymen and summer tourists. In the 1970s, Johnston served as a volunteer deputy in the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol. In 1981, when son Marty moved to Alaska, he continued promoting the park. The “Home of the Dory Fleet” was the trademark he used in his promotional ads. In 1993, he purchased the Dorymen’s Fish Company with his sons Marty and Ron. After a remodel, the building became the entrance for the RV park, Doryland Seafood Market and a dory fish buying station. “These are extraordinary people that had an extraordinary impact to the community and the dory fleet,” Wenrick said. The ceremony concluded with Zell and the Nestucca High band leading attendees in the singing of “God Bless America,” followed by dorymen taking flowers to sea.

Set to be added to the Memorial Wall are Keith Delaney, Ted “Shorty” Howe, and Don Johnston. The three names were approved at the Dorymen’s Association May 24 meeting. A civic leader, marine deputy sheriff and doryman, Delaney moved to Pacific City in November 1961. Family members described him as “community minded.” He served a couple of terms as president of the former Pacific City-Woods Chamber of Commerce and worked with Paul Hanneman to get the Cape Kiwanda parking lot paved. He also worked with Hanneman to create billboard signs for the area. Together with Guy Watts, he built The Little Dunes, a fish market that stood at the current location of Pelican Pub & Brewery, where the duo bought fish from dorymen and sold them to the public. He later served as manager of Pacific City Supply. Howe moved to Pacific City in the early 1950s and began commercial dory fishing in 1954. He built dories — first as a hobby and later as a commercial enterprise. Howe also built fishing gear and sport fishing rods. A retired WW2 veteran, he also was named OSU’s first Master Fishermen in 1971. As a sea Grant employee, he designed, developed and tested experimental commercial fishing gear. He also taught adult

he Pacific City Dorymen’s Association introduced Gary Smith as this year’s grand marshal for the 2014 Dory Days Parade during its membership meeting on May 24. Smith, who lives with his wife Teresa in a house on McMinnville Ridge originally built by his grandfather, retired here in 1983 after a 35-year career with Chevron. He was the manager of administration and personnel for the Northwest United States and Alaska. Though his job took him far-and-wide to locales such as Tahiti and the North Pole, he told the Sun that it’s here that’s always felt like home. He first lived in Pacific City during WW2, from 1942-46, when he attended Pacific City Grade School. After returning to a farm in McMinnville during his youth, he returned here for one of his first jobs in 1952, before entering the service in 1956. He served four years in the Naval Reserve and two years active duty in the Army during the Korean War, working as a postal exchange

auditor. He started his dory career in 1950 with Norm Reddekopp and Clarence Neal, progressing through two Calkins double-enders to the square stern Tyee in 1968. Health issues prompted the sale of the Tyee in 2005, which is still in local ownership. His community contributions include the sponsorship of an annual $1,000 continuing scholarship for Nestucca High School students. The scholarship is managed by the Dorymen’s Association. Last January, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District awarded both Gary and Teresa with an Outstanding Community Service Award. The couple had earlier donated furniture to outfit the resident quarters at the district’s administrative center and fire hall in Hebo.

Fence nears completion as work begins on new community park near Cape Kiwanda
C
ontractors began erecting a fence that will eventually encircle a community park being developed by the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance on June 2. Work on the fence is expected to be done by June 20, at which time NVCA can begin developing the park. Property owner Tillamook Light Wave is requiring NVCA to build the fence as a security measure for TLW’s other tenant, the University of Washington, which is using the facility for its part in the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatory Initiative. The building of the fence is being funded by a matching donation of $10,500, a contribution from the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, from community donations though the NVCA’s “One Foot At a Time” fundraising drive, and from a TPUD Community Grant. The next step will be to construct a concrete or blacktop approach apron. A portion of the $5,500 TPUD grant will be used to finance this next upgrade. NVCA president Gloria Scullin told the Sun that though prior to fence construction some adjustments to the

location of the fence were made, the new boundary has not resulted in a reduction of the space available — a little more than 100,000 square feet — for the upcoming park. Changes were made to allow for better security and for the ease of driving trucks in and out. “We’re (just about) ready to go,” Scullin said about the park development. “The fence is on the property and now the real work begins.” She said that “real work” will include the formation of a park design committee. She is hoping to create a three- to five-person committee by the July 5. Interested persons can visit NVCA’s web site at www.nestucca.org. In an effort to help fund future developments, Scullin is applying for an $8,500 Travel Oregon grant. She is also considering resurrecting NVCA’s one foot at a time campaign. This time, though, instead of donations of $25 going to fund one foot of fence, the idea is to fund one square foot of park development. The proposal has yet to be approved by NVCA’s board of directors. The next meeting of the board will be Wednesday, June 18 at Kiawanda Community Center, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Commission adopts plan for coastal salmon The Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted the Coastal MultiSpecies Conservation and Management plan on June 6, which now becomes the state’s working document for managing salmon, steelhead and trout populations along most of the Oregon Coast. According to Tom Stahl, ODFW Conservation and Recovery Program manager, the goal is to provide a strong conservation platform for native fish in coastal
rivers, while still providing continued harvest opportunity for wild and hatchery fish. “This plan is about keeping our wild salmon, steelhead and trout in coastal rivers healthy, and maintaining and improving harvest opportunities on wild and hatchery fish,” Stahl said. “We are investing in the future in this plan.” A highlight from the plan is an emphasis on maintaining and

improving wild fish populations, including special focus on those populations identified as “at risk.” The plan also calls for an increase in overall hatchery releases coastwide; consolidation of some hatchery programs; opportunities for new wild winter steelhead harvest in the East Fork Coquille River, Big Elk Creek and Salmon River; and setting the harvest levels for some fisheries set on a sliding scale based on the relative abundance.

nter for the fun of it, but enjoy it not just for the day with friends at the beach but the satisfaction in knowing you’re making a difference to suffers of Multiple Sclerosis. Taking place on the beach in the shadow of the Pelican Pub & Brewery, June 28-29, the eighth annual Slingball competition invites young and old, those new to the game and old hands, too, as an expected 200 participants line-up in what organizer Randy Neu sees as a game for all. Organized as a tribute to Randy and Carter Neu’s mom Marilyn, who lost her battle against MS in 2005, the event pits families and friends in a game where participants toss golf balls attached to a foot of string. The goal is to wrap them around two towers made of PVC pipe. Kids, too, can join in the fun with the return of the Mini Marilyn Kids Tournament, open to youths 12 years and younger. “Our mom was all about paying it forward, having fun, and being good to other people,” says Randy. “We really feel like Slingball signifies (her spirit). Not only is it fun, not only can anybody win it, not only can kids play, but it’s just a good time for families to get together — win, lose or draw.” Festivities will actually be kick-started one day early when Twist Wine Tasting

Room hosts the event’s Black Shirt Silent Auction and Registration party, Friday, June 27 starting at 6 p.m. Wine tasting will be available during the party and non-participants are welcome to join in the fun. Play starts on Saturday, June 28 at 8 a.m. on the beach in front of Pelican Pub & Brewery and runs until 4 p.m. Event finals start at 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 29. Randy says not only can all ages play, but even those with physical challenges can participate. “Even if you’re in a wheelchair you can play,” he said. “It’s very addicting. Once you get a couple Slingballs on the bars, you want to keep playing.” And keep playing participants do. The tournament has grown in each of its eight years. In that time, Neu says he has seen kids move up from their own tournament to play with adults. With all past champions scheduled to play this year, Randy says this could be one for the ages. Still, he says the slate of past heroes shouldn’t keep newcomers from giving it a try. “We have had complete rookies win it,” Neu said. With a goal of raising at least $10,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland, the benefit figures to be more than a weekend of beach fun. Somewhat different than the national MS Society, MSSP specializes in services for MS sufferers and families rather than research.
The benefit raised nearly $14,000 in 2013. Besides the $75 entry fee for the main tournament and a $40 fee for the kids’ contest, the event raises money through the sale of merchandise and a silent auction. Entry includes a doubleelimination entry, t-shirt and ticket for BBQ as does entry to the Mini-Marilyn Tournament. Merchandise for sale during the event includes Slingball hoodies, hats, t-shirts, beach blankets, growlers and dog bandanas. Auction items will include autographed mini-balls from Portland Trail Blazers NBA all-stars Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, as well as autographed balls from the Miami Heat and Portland Timbers. Also available for bid will be jewelry, and custom Slingballs. A final opportunity to contribute to the cause is a betting board where competitors and spectators can bid on who they think will be victorious on the final throw. The bettor bidding the highest amount on the winning Slingball competitor will win half the pot with the remainder going to MSSP. “It’s becoming a true tradition of having a good time and raising money and awareness for a disease that doesn’t always get a lot of publicity,” says Randy. “We like the fact that it raises awareness about MS and that a lot of our funds go directly to those that have the disease.” For more information or to register, visit www.slingball.com.

Held from noon-5 p.m., organizers are hailing the tour as a fun event that promises a “unique opportunity for gardeners, garden lovers and everyone who enjoys the outdoors to see what amazing plants and flowers can be grown in our coastal setting.” This year’s gardens are primarily in the Neskowin area, with one garden in Otis. Organizers boast that Neskowin Village is a fun residential area with quaint homes and usually smaller garden areas. The Neskowin gardens provide a wide variety of garden experiences — two of which organizers describe as “quite expansive.” Included on the tour is a vegetable garden that also functions as a flower/plant garden, and another that “is a beautifully planted area with lovely views.” “It is fascinating to see the wide variety of
garden styles on the tour,” says event organizer Kay McConnell. “Some are very artistic and others feature plants that most coastal residents are familiar with.” The Otis garden is a large area, once covered by brush, now converted into what McConnell says is a “beautiful oasis of water, coastal plants, trees and flowers along lovely pathways.” The Secret Garden Tour also features light food and wine. Each garden area will have local musicians providing great entertainment while visitors are enjoying the gardens. There will also be a raffle for some beautiful garden-themed prizes. Tickets are $20 each and available at JC Market Newport, Toledo Feed and Seed, Bear Valley Nursery in Lincoln City, Neskowin Trading Company and the Samaritan House Office, 715 SW Bay St, Newport. A map detailing where to park will be provided with ticket purchases.

Pining for Precipitation Bright skies have dimmed fishing opportunities in local rivers By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

e could use some rain, seriously. We have lots of springers in the system (Nestucca and Three Rivers), but fishing for them has gotten tough. Low water and clear water conditions put a real damper on the bite. Almost any hole you get to will have salmon rolling and jumping, which makes it frustrating because they won’t bite, at least not with any regularity. Sometimes in the early morning and sometimes in the late evening you can entice a fish or two, but once the sun hits the water full on, it’s pretty much over. June has been a spectacular month weather wise if you’re a tourist and beach goer, but, for fishermen, the bright sunny days have been discouraging. We need cloud cover, and we need rain if we are to salvage what is left of the springer season in the North Coast rivers. Hebo Lake has been the go-to spot for trout fishing. The forest service and ODFW both stocked the lake with trout for the free fishing weekend last week, and I’m told there are lots of holdover trout available. Town Lake in Pacific City is going to get a makeover. Not as extensive as Hebo a couple of years ago, but it is still going to interrupt fishing there for most of the summer. The outflow from Town Lake has been eroding the outfall, and something needs to be done. I’m told the outfall is bePhoto courtesy of Pat Gefre ing moved approximately a 100 feet east.
