David Yamamoto hopes to make a difference
T
he following is a question and answer feature addressed to Tillamook County Commissioner candidates Tim Josi and David Yamamoto, a race that voters will decide on May 20. Though both candidates were invited to participate, Josi did not respond by press time. In the interest of equal coverage, we are re-running a story on Josi that ran in the May 2 issue (see below). How has your experience and skill set prepared you to serve as county commissioner? David Yamamoto: My first career was in the forest products industry having spent 20+ years culminating as general/sales manager for two wood pressure treating facilities. I am currently in my 18th year as an independent long-term care specialist and my business background will serve me well as I strive to provide a predictable, reliable business-friendly county government. I have also spent countless volunteer hours in land use, transportation, business development, emergency preparedness, ocean energy, and health and senior services planning. What is the most important challenge facing Pacific City? Yamamoto: The biggest challenge currently facing Pacific City is the building moratorium in flood hazard areas. The final implications for property owners is yet to be determined. While this has been an issue for several decades and it is not in our best interest to try to affix blame, we must find out how this occurred in order to be able to learn from our mistakes and make sure this is not allowed to happen again. What are your feelings on the potential development of ocean energy at the Department of Land Conservation and Development approved site south
of the mouth of the Nestucca River? In what ways will the development be good for the area and in what ways could it be detrimental? Yamamoto: I feel ocean renewable energy can be a good thing if done properly…and that means with the buy in of local coastal residents while at the same time not infringing on high value fishing grounds and other marine resources. The LCDC adoption did not meet these standards. There are those who say the Nestucca site will never be developed…then why did the State go to such lengths to force this site into their adoption? What future development is most needed in Pacific City? Yamamoto: Being a small unincorporated community, it is difficult to champion too many issues at once. Having already begun planning and with great momentum started, the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance vision would benefit our community greatly. Playground, educational opportunities, access to trails and viewing areas, additional parking, skate park, and amphitheater all make wonderful additions to our livability. With tourists visiting Pacific City contributing a large part of the county’s new transient lodging tax, do you feel the area will receive a significant amount of the more than $1 million in expected revenue? Yamamoto: The new transient lodging tax (TLT) committee is now hard at work and I feel that the first years of spending should be biased towards infrastructure to help accommodate the tourists we already have. The planned infrastructure needs assessment will show that unincorporated areas will have a greater need since, unlike cities, we have had no TLT monies to use in the past.
In your opinion, what tourism-related facility in the Pacific City area is most deserving of TLT monies? Yamamoto: There are two critical issues…one being the embarrassing bathroom facilities at the Cape and the second the expansion of the Kiawanda Community Center. What, if anything, do you think needs to be done to increase safety concerns of the growing number of recreational users at Cape Kiwanda? Yamamoto: I feel the safety concerns arise, in great extent, from the sheer volume of people congregating at the Cape during the summer months. Our attractions are much more than that. We need to spread our visitors around by clearing the parking and adding bathrooms at the County facility at the Beachy Bridge, utilizing Bob Straub State Park, promoting the development championed by Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, getting more people to use the beach on the North side of the Cape, and making our downtown area more of an attraction. At the same time, we need to work with Sheriff Long to increase their presence to control alcohol abuse and unruly/unsafe behaviors. What is the key to the health of the county’s economy? What will you bring to the commission to help nurture this? Yamamoto: The key here is family wage jobs. While we need to stop the decay in our traditional industries of forestry, fishing, and dairy…at the same time we must realize that they no longer provide growth opportunities for our youth. We must concentrate on bringing new small business and light industry to the County while utilizing Tillamook Bay Community College to provide apprenticeship training to make sure these new jobs go to local residents.

To the Editor: Dave Yamamoto is the right choice for Tillamook County Commissioner Position 3. He brings a wide range of experience and capability to the job along with his proven desire to help others. We need someone that is a citizen to look out for us in dealing with the many county-wide and local issues that will arise in the coming years. An example of his personal dedication to serving others is his involvement in the Territorial Sea Plan Amendment process of the last several years. The primary goal of amending the TSP was for the State (of Oregon) to establish areas for future ocean energy development. Dave supports renewable energy, but when he became aware there was no provision for public involvement in this process he brought it to the attention of the (Territorial Sea Plan Advisory Committee) working group and ended up serving as the citizenat-large representative. While supporting the amendment, he repeatedly spoke against designating an area between the Nestucca River and Neskowin as a site for development. After the decision by the LCDC to ignore the recommendations of OPAC and TSPAC and include this area in the list of approved sites, Dave and others filed an appeal of the decision which is presently going through the State’s process.

Revving up the Revenues ‘Encouraging’ first quarter TLT results lead to larger request for tourism funds By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun
T
he first collections for Tillamook County’s Transient Lodging Tax are in, and the take was high enough that the county will be asked to transfer more money than anticipated to the new tourism-promotion fund. Through May 6, the county had received $235,025 in TLT revenues, with more than two-thirds of that amount remitted by South County lodging providers. The money came from lodging sales in the first three months of the year, and the tax filing deadline was April 30, although nearly half of the total remitted to the county arrived on May 5 and 6. The tax is 10 percent in unincorporated areas, such as Pacific City, Oceanside and Neskowin. The incorporated cities in the central and northern parts of the county already had lodging taxes, which are offset against the new county tax. As a result of that offset, less than a tenth of the county’s revenue from its new tax came from incorporated cities. The tax, approved by voters 2-1 last year, took effect on Jan. 1. The revenue from the TLT will be divided, with 70 percent going to countywide tourism promotion, and the remaining 30 percent — minus administrative costs — going to the county road fund. “This is really pretty encouraging,”

enforcement in the Department of Community Development, briefed the county commissioners May 7 about the first-quarter tax registration and revenue. His report showed 1,083 lodging providers had registered for the TLT, a total that included the owners of 910 units classified as vacation homes. There were 4,424 units registered altogether — each hotel room, motel room, campsite and RV site counts as a separate unit. With a few lodging providers who had registered for the tax declaring themselves inactive, the number later shrunk to 1,054 active accounts. Of those, 946 had filed returns by May 6. “That’s a 90 percent return rate, which is so-so, not great,” Steiber told the commissioners. “We’ll be going out with notices to the ones we haven’t heard from,” Steiber added. “Part of it would be just the learning curve, getting the word out that they’re required to file, even if they didn’t have any rentals during that quarter. Hopefully a one-time notice will take care of that problem and close that gap. “ Steiber also noted that just 108 — or 10 percent — of the 1,083 registered lodging owners are residents of Tillamook County. “The distribution of the property owners is overwhelmingly outside of the county,” he said.

said Doug Olson, the vice-chair of the Tillamook County Economic Development Council board. The EDC is responsible for allocating and distributing tourism funds, subject to the county commissioners’ oversight. When the proposed tax was being presented to voters, Olson said, they were conservatively told that the levy could raise $1.4 million to $1.5 million a year. But based on quarterly lodging patterns the past few years, the amount raised in this year’s first three months indicates the total 2014 take will be at least $1.6 million and could reach $1.8 million or $1.9 million, he said. Though Olson cautioned that “it’s just one quarter” of results so far, he said the quarterly lodging patterns support the higher prediction. Olson, a Pacific City resident who owns the Inn at Pacific City and serves on the area’s Chamber of Commerce board, said he will now recommend that the county transfer $1.12 million to the EDC for the tourism-promotion effort, up from the original plan for $1 million. He also said fellow lodging providers have not provided much reaction to the new tax. Olson is anticipating competing demands for the tourism-promotion money, but said that the competition for $1 million in tourism funding is “a good problem to have.” Tom Steiber, the county’s TLT accounting clerk for collection and

Concentrating on Compliance County searches for vacation rentals that have yet to register for TLT By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun
T
illamook County’s attempts to collect its new lodging tax have moved to the Internet, as tax collectors comb through online listings for local vacation-rental homes in a search for property owners who have failed to sign up and pay. The search for tax violators on a lengthy roster of booking websites is painstaking, with online listings being cross-checked case-by-case against the county’s tax rolls, said Tom Steiber, the county’s Transient Lodging Tax accounting clerk for collection and enforcement in the Department of Community Development. “We’re in the process of checking each (online listing) individually, to see are they registered or are they not, and go from there,” Steiber told the Sun. In the past, the county has estimated that there are 2,400 vacation rentals in its jurisdiction. But when the first-ever lodging-tax deadline rolled around on April 30, only 910 units classified as vacation homes had been registered for tax purposes. Searching for unregistered vacation rentals “will be an ongoing process,” Steiber said. The tax is 10 percent on lodging revenues across South County, and there are increasing penalties for late filing. Owners are responsible for remitting the tax — plus any penalties and monthly interest — based on lodging revenues they received since the law took effect Jan. 1. “We send a mailing to see if we can get them registered,” Steiber said of the first action after discovering a violation. However, the law includes increasingly stiff enforcement actions that can start up to three years later. Any tax due — plus interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees, filing fees and other costs — will create a lien on
the property. Steiber and vacation-rental advocate Doug Coates agreed that some property owners likely don’t know that they’re violating the tax ordinance. Some owners, said Steiber, might be confused because of the county’s ongoing registration of vacation rentals for building-code regulations — a 4-year-old program that includes the regular payment of fees for licensing, renewals and inspections. “I think some of them assumed that since they had done a short-term rental permit, that that fulfilled the requirement, and didn’t realize that the lodging tax is a requirement,” Steiber said. Coates has owned two vacation rentals in Netarts for more than a decade, and he runs the Oregon Association of Vacation Rental Owners trade group out of Portland. “You might have a few people who are trying to be sneaky about it,” Coates said, but he believes that “95 percent or better of vacation-rental owners are not doing anything to evade a tax.” For instance, he said, owners might rent to their churches, or to family members, without knowing that the tax applies. People who rent only on weekends, or who treat renting as a hobby, also might not realize the tax is due, he added. The drive to contact all vacation-rental owners to sign up for the new tax has already gone through rosters maintained for other purposes by the county and incorporated cities. Tillamook County’s short-term rental (STR) program — the vacation-rental registry that took effect in 2010, with a focus on regulations not related to taxes — now has about 650 active registrants in unincorporated areas according to the Department of Community Development.
Chester’s now a ‘Thriftway’ By VICKY HIRSCH of the Sun
W
hen grocers Bob and Thaddeus Thompson took over the Pacific City Hometown Market in February 2012, changing the store’s name to Chester’s, they brought their experience working at the Thriftway grocery store in John Day with them. Now, as of April 2, they have also brought the Thriftway name to Pacific City. Thaddeus explained that the Thriftway sales ads showcase bakery and deli specials every week, and since Chester’s did not have either until recently, they did not ask to be included as a Thriftway when they first opened in 2012. Now that they have added both a deli and bakery, allowing them to become Chester’s Thriftway, they can take advantage of the advertising group to garner a better deal when ordering product. This can translate to slightly lower prices for the shopper. Chester’s Thriftway, one of 26 in Oregon and almost 90 overall, is probably the smallest Thriftway
Sun
if you look at square footage, says Thaddeus, but the added deli and bakery add to the already large variety of products available – most notably French bread baked fresh daily in the bakery and chicken in the deli. The best thing out of the deli, says Thaddeus, is, “a lot of chicken – fried chicken, chicken strips, baked chicken, and rotisserie chicken.” They also are now offering U-bake pizzas and made-to-order deli sandwiches and wraps. Being a part of Thriftway means the store must live up to performance standards — the group does inspections and secret shoppers to make sure the store is up to par and not being mismanaged. Thaddeus thanks the residents of Pacific City for their support. “They give us the confidence to put in new things like the deli, which enabled us to do this,” he said. “It works out good.” Chester’s Thriftway is located at 34585 Brooten Road and is open from 8 am. to 10 p.m. daily.

County officially enacts building-permit moratorium
ODFW seeks input on 2015-17 budget The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will host a May 22 town hall meeting at the Department of Forestry, 5005 Third Street, Large Conference Room, in Tillamook, as part of its effort to gather public input on the agency’s proposed 2015-2017 budget. The Tillamook town hall meeting is part of a statewide series designed to elicit community feedback. The proposed budget, which is being crafted by ODFW and an external budget advisory committee, will be presented for review and comment at the town hall meetings, which will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. Clackamas, La Grande, Bend, Newport, Coos Bay/ North Bend, Roseburg and Klamath Falls will also host town halls. “This is a unique opportunity for us to talk with our customers and get their feedback,” said Roy Elicker, ODFW director. The last fee increase was approved by the Oregon Legislature in 2010. The proposed 2015-17 budget includes a fee increase for recreation-
al and commercial licenses. If approved, changes to the fees would not be effective until 2016. The proposed budget also includes program cuts and shifts costs for some programs on to the State’s general fund revenues. Public comments will be used to help refine the budget before it is presented to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on Aug. 1. Once a proposed budget is approved by the Commission, it will be submitted to the Governor for his consideration. The budget will ultimately be determined by the 2015 Legislature. Additional ODFW budget information can be found on the ODFW website, http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ agency/budget/process.asp Comments on the agency proposed budget are welcome and can be submitted through July 17, 2014 by email to ODFW.Comments@state. or.us or by mail to ODFW Director’s Office, 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr. SE, Salem, OR 7302-1142. Public testimony will also be heard at the Commission meeting on Aug. 1 in Salem.

“It’s stupid, but we’re between a rock and a hard place,” said Pacific City real estate broker Barb Taylor, in the only public comment voiced at a May 14 meeting where the Tillamook County commissioners formalized a buildingpermit moratorium in the Nestucca and Nehalem rivers’ floodplains. The commissioners expressed no disagreement with Taylor as they unanimously voted for the moratorium, in a move to meet requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA has the whip hand because it could withhold flood insurance from property owners throughout Tillamook County if officials refused to comply with the agency’s rules. The moratorium stems from FEMA’s demand that studies of the two rivers are needed to create new flood-insurance rate maps, which would then be used when permitting development and setting insurance rates. FEMA says the new maps are necessary because decades of improperly permitted development in flood-prone areas may have altered projected flood levels. The problem has already cost Tillamook County policy-holders a 20 percent discount they had been receiving through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program, which has a monopoly on the flood insurance required by many mortgages. “If we don’t get up to snuff, then we face the prospect of being put on probation or maybe even being taken out of the National Flood Insurance Program,” County Counsel Bill Sargent explained to the commissioners. In Pacific City, the moratorium area stretches along the Nestucca River from its confluence with the bay to a point about three miles upstream. The area extends outward from the river in varying widths, depending on land elevation. Last month, the county searched property records and sent letters to
hundreds of owners in the affected area to notify them about the moratorium. The moratorium began in an unofficial fashion in March, but it could not be formalized until a 45-day notice period with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development had run its course. The moratorium could last longer than a year, but the formal order passed on May 14 has a 120-day limit under state law, so there is at least one more moratorium hearing on the horizon. The moratorium prohibits new construction and “substantial” improvements, and also bars any alteration that would increase a building’s “footprint,” meaning the area covered by a building at ground level. The commissioners’ moratorium order clarifies that building permits can still be issued for limited remodels and renovations that are not “substantial,” meaning that projects can be submitted for approval if they cost less than half of a building’s market value. Taylor, who offered her public comment from her seat in the audience at the commissioners’ meeting, was accompanied by Merrianne Hoffman, a fellow real-estate broker and president of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce. County Commissioner Mark Labhart addressed them before casting his vote for the formal moratorium. “Just so Barb and Merrianne know, we’ve instructed staff to aggressively work through the process” of getting the river studies done, he said. Surveyors are “out there now doing the surveys on the rivers and we’re trying to expedite this process as quickly as we can,” he added. Labhart noted that FEMA’s appeal and review process has a fixed timetable that does much to determine the ultimate length of the moratorium. “We’re going to try to go as fast as we can because there’s people that want to do development in that area and we need to do whatever we can to do it within a legal manner,” he said. “It’s frustrating.”

Missing body recovered The body of the man who was recently swept into the ocean from Cape Kiwanda was discovered on the beach about two miles south of Cape Lookout on May 4 at 6 p.m., according to Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long. The person who found the body of James Michael Alejandro called 911, said Long. Alejandro, 25, of Portland, had been missing since April 24 when he had attempted to walk a rope line between large sections of rock above the ocean on the north side of Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City and was struck by a large wave that knocked him into the ocean. Cape Lookout is slightly more than 11 miles north of Cape Kiwanda.

Tourism director to report to EDC board Economic Development Council presents rough budgets as first transient lodging tax returns come in By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun
I
ssues surrounding the new Transient Lodging Tax consumed much of the May 13 board meeting of Tillamook County’s Economic Development Council, where some members expressed their belief that TLT promotion and administration has distracted the EDC from its primary mission. One member suggested splitting the board in two, so one group could concentrate on the TLT, and the other group could focus on the EDC’s traditional mission of boosting economic development and small business. The split-board idea generated discussion, but it appeared to fizzle after a unanimous decision that the not-yet-hired tourism director will report directly to the board, so the EDC’s current executive director can devote his energies to the traditional mission of the publicprivate agency. The EDC has a three-year contract with the county to allocate and distribute TLT funds, subject to the county commissioners’ oversight. The TLT, which took effect Jan. 1 after voters approved it 2-1 in November, imposes a county tax of 10 percent on shortterm lodging, with offsets for cities that impose their own lodging taxes. The county’s tourism initiative will receive 70 percent of TLT funds off the top; after the general fund is reimbursed for costs of collection, enforcement and administration, the remaining TLT funds will go to county roads. First-quarter returns for the TLT are stronger than anticipated, leading the tourism initiative’s expected pool of money to climb 12 percent above its initial projection of $1 million a year, with indications it will grow further. EDC board vice-chair Doug Olson of Pacific City led the May 13 meeting in the absence of chair Mike St. Clair. John Hope-Johnston of Corvallis, the temporary project manager for the TLT, gave an update that covered the ongoing search for a permanent tourism director, followed by a board discussion about the chain of command. Hope-Johnstone reported that a now-closed online survey by Tualatinbased Total Destination Marketing had received 410 responses. The EDC in-
vited comments and input through the survey to help shape tourism development and branding. Total Destination Marketing — “the people who are doing our branding” — has also performed interviews and workshops about Tillamook County in the tourism “feeder city” of Portland, Hope-Johnstone said. The goal is “to understand how different we (in Tillamook County) look at ourselves,” he said, “as opposed to somebody who might be coming in, and that helps with branding definition.” Bill Baker, the head of Total Destination Marketing, told the Sun later in the week that the online survey results were still being worked on. “The client won’t get them until next Monday (May 19),” Baker said. “It was very good — very positive results that were in there.” He emphasized the high volume of responses and said “the client will be delighted.” Olson, speaking on behalf of a minority of board members who have focused heavily on the TLT, suggested that the tourism director now being sought should report directly to the EDC board, and not to EDC Executive Director Dan Biggs. Olson noted that Biggs already is responsible for a broad range of duties, including bringing new business to the county and working for small-business development. “The more we looked at it,” Olson said, “we found if we were to ask him to take this on as well, something’s going to give.” He also commented on a history of “difficult meetings” around the county as the EDC pushed for the TLT, and said he thought the EDC “lost some credibility” and needed to “start at ground zero” with a tourism director that would report to the board. He later told the Sun that the comments on credibility were based on meetings where some attendees “thought EDC hadn’t done much and didn’t have much success to show” without knowing what goes on behind the scenes. “I take a little bit of exception to the perception that Doug brought up that EDC lost credibility,” Biggs said. “I think the EDC actually gained credibility, because we had a 2-to-1 referendum by the voters saying that we did a spectacular job. You’re always going to
have a few people that are going to be detractors on things because they don’t like the message.” “From my perspective,” Biggs said, “I think if you’ve got any organization, and you have a number of divisions underneath it, that they need to report to the executive director.” However, the seven board members present ultimately voted unanimously to have the tourism director report to the board. Tony Enzler of Columbia Bank suggested splitting the board to have one group focus on TLT issues and the other group concentrate on economic development and job growth. Ray Sieler of Tillamook PUD said Biggs’ “primary responsibility is here and that’s what we need to concentrate on.” Patrick Criteser of the Tillamook County Creamery Association said he was not being critical by stating his belief that “the TLT has distracted the EDC from its primary focus,” and added: “I would keep the directors separate.” Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber said Biggs is “already a busy man” who’s going to be even busier, so “I favor the board being the person that is reported to” by the tourism director. Olson then went through proposed budgets for the tourism initiative tentatively dubbed “Visit Tillamook,” while noting that many of the numbers are “placeholders” as plans take shape and the proposed budgets head to the ninemember Tourism Advisory Committee for its suggestions on June 2. The ad seeking a tourism director now has a posted salary of $80,000, and since that position like others in the EDC staff would be paid through Tillamook Bay Community College, the benefits will drive the yearly expense to around $116,000. Other projections in the budgets through the end of June 2015 include $60,000 a year for administrative staff, $75,000 for agents to call on event planners, $150,000 for print and television ads, $120,000 for the branding contract with Tualatin-based Total Destination Marketing, $50,000 for paid search marketing and video marketing, $60,000 to create and upgrade an exhaustive website, and $276,000 for physical infrastructure projects.

TWO OCEAN-GOING VESSELS, including this one in Tierra Del Mar, were discovered washed ashore in Tillamook County over Mother’s Day weekend. They are believed to be marine debris from the March 2011 tsunami in Japan. Above, Allan and Laura Marcus, of Tierra Del Mar, examine a 22-foot beached boat believed to be from Japan.

wo boats believed to be marine debris from the March 2011 Japanese tsunami washed ashore on Tillamook County beaches during Mother’s Day weekend, a 22-foot fiberglass vessel in Tierra Del Mar and a 25foot boat north of the Sand Lake access. Oregon State Parks had both removed on May 15 and taken to the Tillamook County Transfer Station. Cape Lookout State Park manager Pete Marvin said he suspects the boats — and other marine debris — were ushered into the coastline thanks to recent strong winds and surf. “We’re at the tail end of (a weather event) where conditions must have been favorable for some thing to get pushed up on our beaches,” he said. Though he said State Parks doesn’t have numbers on just how much tsunami debris has been collected on Tillamook County beaches since the
tsunami, he said that a dumpster designated for marine debris at Cape Lookout’s day use area has been emptied an extra time or two. “There’s been more debris, but it’s hard to quantify,” he said. Marvin said he appreciates community effort in collecting debris washed ashore. He said that debris can be left at State Parks signage found at beach access points. Parks personnel will pick up any left debris and take to the Tillamook Transfer Station. But that invitation to help collect marine debris comes with a caution. He said that any container that could hold hazardous material should be reported so State Parks can send qualified personnel to recover safely. Debris can be reported by calling 211 or by sending an email to beach.debris@state.or.us. Marvin said that though items are routinely tested for radiation — his beach ranger carries a geiger counter — he has yet to see a problem on Oregon beaches.

NVSD considers search for half-time interim superintendent The Nestucca Valley School District Board of Directors discussed searching for an interim, half-time superintendent for the 2014-15 school year at a May 12 workshop. The filling of the vacant superintendent position is also on the agenda for the board’s next meeting, May 19 at 6 p.m. at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School. The board discussed having a superintendent on board by Aug. 1. In the meantime, Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School principal Randy Wharton, who has an initial superintendent license, is tackling superintendent duties through the end of the school year. The hiring of a half-time superintendent is expected to save
the district approximately $55,000, though that figure could go up if the district ultimately hires a retired superintendent. The public will be given a chance to offer input at the board’s June meeting. To make a half-time superintendent feasible, the board will hire a “Teacher On Special Assignment” to take over administration of special education and “title” programs, programs such as English language learners, school-wide improvement, and the preparing, training and teach of “highly qualified” teachers. The school is going with an interim before hiring a permanent superintendent because the largest pool of applicants is from January to March.

eskowin artist Darryl Clegg will be showing his decorative screens, paintings, and drawings —both acrylic and watercolors — at the Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34395 Hwy. 101 S., Cloverdale, during the month of June. An opening reception will take place Sunday, June 1, 1-5 p.m. with music by Martin Hemens. Clegg, who is a New York City native, has lived in Neskowin for two and a half years. Previously, he also lived and painted in Portland, Ore. and San Francisco, Calif. He has directed several galleries, including Northwest Artists Workshop, Time is Art, and also served as an administrator of the Maitreya Institute in San Francisco. Clegg says his art is a visual record of his spiritual journey. “Everything I paint or draw relates to my path to discover information and to share my perspective,” he says. “The symbolic nature of my art is related to my understanding of personal and group transformation. I believe in the evolution of human consciousness and that art serves as a reflection of that path.” Two other influences on Clegg’s art are Mayan culture and their 26-year calendar cycle and sacred geometry. His interest in Mayan culture predates the widespread interest of 2012; he belongs to a group of friends in Portland interested in the Photo by Tim Hirsch subject.

unday morning, Mother’s Day to be exact, two brothers took their mother out for a day of fishing, as a Mother’s Day gift. A rare chance to spend the day with their mother, and a day to honor her, and perhaps an opportunity for her to catch a beautiful spring chinook. The day was beautiful, sun shining, temperatures were warm, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect day on the river. Unless of course, that day would include catching a spring chinook. I’m told that mom is not an avid fisherman but she loves some time on the river, and a goodly part of the day was spent just relaxing enjoying the scenery and the company of her two sons. The time finally came, and, according to her two sons, it was time for the rubber to meet the road. Mom was handed a pole and instructed on what to do. The two sons related that mom had the pole in her hand a total of five minutes, maybe! Down went the bobber and the chase was on. Mom had been here before and was somewhat experienced at fighting salmon so it was no surprise to her sons that just a few minutes later the beautiful spring chinook pictured came to the boat and was netted. All smiles when they returned to the shop for a photo — I’m guessing mom had a fine Mother’s Day. Since my last posting a lot has changed. For one, the river temperatures in the Nestucca have become warmer than the ocean and that has enticed some spring chinook in to the main Nestucca River. Two important things must happen for springers to show in the river. Number one is the river temps have to reach 50 degrees, and, number two, the ocean has to lay down enough for Photo courtesy of Pat Gefre salmon to cross the bar at the mouth of THIS MOM got a Mother’s Day gift she probably didn’t exNestucca Bay.

PELICAN PUB AND BREWERY sous chefs Adan Magana and Ivan Reyes serve up winning fish tacos at the Lincoln City Culinary Center’s taco cook-off Saturday, May 3.
A Clean Sweep Pelican Pub captures fourth consecutive Lincoln City Culinary Center contest at May 3 Fish Taco Cook-Off By DEE MOORE for the Sun
S
ucculently fried Pacific Northwest rockfish was placed atop a steaming tortilla then drizzled with a delicately flavored hickory smoked tomato salsa. Nestled next to the taco was a salad made of fresh corn and prickly pear cactus. This delightfully original twist on the standard fish taco gave the Pelican Pub and Brewery chefs their fourth consecutive Lincoln City Culinary Center cook-off win Saturday, May 3. This culinary masterpiece was the brainchild of Pelican executive chef Ged Aydelott and his sous chefs Adan Magana and Ivan Reyes. “I think the main thing that helped us win this is my team — it’s a team effort,” Aydelott said. And this effort gets applause from Pelican general manager Ken Henson. “Everybody we have is tremendously creative; everybody’s talents complement one another’s. We strive to be world class in everything we do,” Henson said of the win. Pelcian chefs competed against four other area chefs for the “Best Fish Taco” title. The second-place honor went to chefs Jason Lewis and Justin O’Dell of Nelscott Café in Lincoln City for their Baked Cod Island Taco and third-place went to chef Jen Easton of J’s Fish and Chips in Lincoln City for her Baked Pacific Cod Taco. The Pelican’s winning entry was decided by more than 550 diners who voted for their favorite taco
in the people’s choice award. The Pelican Pub and Brewery has now taken first place at the last four Culinary Center sponsored cookoffs: Wild Mushroom, Chowder, Jambalaya and now Fish Taco. “This gives them a clean sweep of all four cookoffs, a feat that has never before been accomplished,” said Scott Humpert, Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau spokesman. Aydelott looks forward to the cook-offs because they give him a chance to create new recipes out of the finest ingredients the area has to offer. According to Culinary Center executive chef Sharon Wiest, their dedication to quality shows. This is why the executive chef and his team consistently win the center’s competitions. “They always come up with interesting and delicious food. They utilize local ingredients and prepare it great,” Wiest said. The secret to a good fish taco is to use fresh fish, cooked properly and garnished well, this is what the Pelican chefs do, she said. “I enjoy it so much, it gives us a chance to create something new, to step away from our daily things and have a different experience and talk to the diners,” Aydelott said.

DON LOCKWOOD, played by Wyatt Peterson, serenades Kathy Seldon, played by Nicole Bishop, at a bus stop in the Nestucca Valley High School’s production of the musical “Singin’ In The Rain.”
A Classic Tale, A Contemporary Take NHS’s performance of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ met with rave reviews By DEE MOORE for the Sun
I
t was a rainy spring weekend packed full of singing, dancing, comedy and romance for students, parents and the community in the Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School auditorium for the musical production of “Singin’ in the Rain,” a love story set in Hollywood in the late 1920’s when the movie industry introduced the first “talking pictures.” Annie Bishop directed the production and was assisted by Robert Bishop. Kathleen Serven produced the show and Mack Pimentel served as orchestra director for the musical. According to Serven, more than 440 people attended all three performances of the show which were April 30 and May 2-3.
AS PART OF the “Beautiful Girls” chorus Kathy Seldon (Nicole Bishop) is the center of attention during Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School’s performance of “Singin’ in the Rain.” In total, more than 440 attended the three performances of the classic tale.
THE NESTUCCA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL PROM got off to a tasty start thanks to Geoff and Patt Williams, owners of the Delicate Palaté Bistro in Pacific City. The couple once again gave the students who were attending the prom an opportunity to take their dates out for a taste of fine dining for free. The ongoing tradition began last year when the restaurant owners decided they wanted to make their grandson, Raymond Cruz’s, first prom a special event. Dinner began at 6 p.m. and this year the dining room was packed. Fortyone students dressed in evening gowns, tuxes, party dresses and suits crowded the restaurant. To attend the dinner, the students were expected to call the restaurant to make reservations, select a main entrée for their dates and learn how to conduct themselves in a formal setting. “It’s been really interesting … this year. They were much better about following protocol; they were so nervous,” Patt said.
FOLLOWING THE COMPLIMENTARY DINNER, the couples headed over to Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City where this year’s prom was held. It was hosted by the Class of 2015 and the theme was “A Night of Flashing Lights.” The prom court was made of graduating seniors and included: Austin McKillip, Nolan Dimmitt, Jacob Menefee, Gage McCall, Shanna Cox, Marissa Dempsey, Nicole Bishop and Kaitlyn Payne. Max Kirkendall was elected king and Jessica Ponce was chosen as queen. –Dee Moore
A Classic Carnival STUDENTS, PARENTS and little brothers and sisters descended on the Nestucca Valley Elementary School for a day of fun games and cool prizes on Saturday, May 3. The event was made possible thanks to the Nestucca Valley Partner in Education parent organization, which put on the spring carnival fundraiser for the kids. “The funds raised from the event will go toward PIE’s mission of supporting the school community by providing access to items and opportunities not within the normal school budget,” said Chad Holloway, president of PIE. “This is the first spring carnival PIE has held in some time.”Prizes and funds were donated by: Rob Royster, Sandra Porter, Sara Lewis and Chinook Winds Casino. –Dee Moore
GAMES AND ACTIVITIES at PIE’s carnival included: Bean Bag Toss, Dunk Tank, Treasure Hunt, Cake Walk, Wheel of Fortune, the DumDum Game, Rain Gutter Regatta, Face Painting and Kick - Pass and Pin the Football on the Field.

SPORTS Laying the Framework for Next Year DEE MOORE for the Sun
T
he 2014 Nestucca Bobcats baseball team is wrapping up their playing season. The Bobcats lost both games of a double header; 10-9 and 12-2; to Faith Bible in Hillsboro on Thursday, May 15. The team will face the Gaston Greyhounds in a double header on Saturday, May 17, and then they will put away their bats until next year. “We had a couple of bad innings against Faith Bible that really cost us the games,” said coach Jim Kiser. “The team showed a lot of heart in the first game. We battled back to tie it but gave up one in the sixth inning to end up losing. The second game we just didn’t play well.” Kiser had high hopes going up against Faith Bible. The ‘Cats had beat the team 8-2 just two days before the double header. “The bats were starting to hit the
balls better than they had been,” Kiser said of the game. “Put the pressure on and had good field play. Over the last week or so they’ve been letting the ball come to them.” According to Kiser, the team gave up a run in the top of the first inning during that game, but they were able to come back because of their pitcher, Jacob Menefee, who threw a great game. “Jacob Menefee only pitched 65-70 pitches the whole game — he didn’t have to throw as much,” the coach said. Kiser has been building a team. He started the season with a very green, young team. Many of his players hadn’t played since little league games. Some had never played before. With only a few seniors to lead the team, it has been a work in progress. He hopes that next year the team will return seasoned and ready to take on the other district teams. “We haven’t proven ourselves,” the coach pauses as he thinks of the coming year, “… yet.”
