THE STATE PARKS COMMISSION officially named the Beltz property — the area’s upcoming state park — the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area at its meeting on Nov. 18.

he Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Board of Directors told concerned community members attending their Dec. 1 meeting that they believe its planned $10.6 million upgrade to the Authority’s wastewater sewer plant is appropriately sized and that it is being funded in a responsible, cost effective way. PCJWSA is pursuing the upgrade because of numerous DEQ fines levied because the Authority has not met the conditions of its permit. With plans for the improvement in place, PCJWSA is operating under a temporary, less stringent agreement with DEQ while they do the design and construction of the upgrade. The packed meeting — approximately 35 were in attendance in the small meeting room — featured accusations that were at times critical of the organization and its engineering firm that developed the preliminary engineering report that is the springboard for the project. Some claimed that the report was flawed, resulting in a proposal for an oversized facility. That assertion was denied by board members and Authority manager Tony Owen. Owen told attendees that it wasn’t population, but the flow serviced by the plant that the engineering report is primarily based on. “It’s important to understand that growth is an extrapolation of what comes into the sewer plant. We’re looking a lot at flow and organic loading that come into this facility. From that, you can extrapolate the theoretical population. That’s a very small portion of this report.” “Our ability to obey the law and comply with our DEQ permit is based on how much (effluent) is going through a pipe,” added board member Sean Carlton. “One of the assertions that’s been made is our calculations (in the preliminary report) are based on faulty data. There has been a contention that we based our projection based on an improper population growth forecast. We did refer to populations ... and we did make a reference to population to try and make things easier for people to understand. However...we have five pages of data based on (effluent) flowing through a pipe, and we have

one page of data based on population projection. So the idea that the report is flawed because we didn’t use the (right population forecast), I think that’s false. I think there’s a whole lot of data in here that says here’s how much (effluent) that’s going through a pipe and here’s what you need to do to make sure you’re in compliance with your DEQ permit.” Another point that was brought forth during public comments was the worry that the plant will be an all new, spare no expense project. “It appears as though we’ve committed to a $10.6 million improvement,” said Pacific City resident Daryle Jimerson. “Is that cut and dry? (It’s a question of) whether we’re going to repair the Chevrolet or whether we’re going to buy a brand new Cadillac.” Board chair Carolyn McVicker explained that the plant will not be all new, but one that takes advantage of some of its current equipment while adding new technology to meet the DEQ standards and increased demand. “The upgrade as proposed is not a brand new plant,” she said. “We’re making use of a number of pieces (we already have). It’s not tearing it down and making it brand new, it’s looking at what we have (and) trying to figure out what we need and replacing the pieces and technology that are necessary to move forward.” “We’re reusing virtually every tank we have here,” added Owen. “There’ll be two new concrete tanks that will be constructed — everything else is being reconstructed or (put to) another use. We’re making use of those concrete tanks that are already in the ground.” Jimerson also asked if the plant could be done adequately for $7 million instead of $10.6 million. “I guess that’s debatable,” said Owen. “If you look at a $7 million project (and) what we’re trying to accomplish over the next 20 years, there probably would not have been the amount of grant money that we’re receiving now. We may not even have received $1 million.” Some of the criticism centered around an equitable way to pay for the improvements. Initially PCJWSA offered a choice between paying via a revenue bond funded by user fees or a general obligation bond serviced by property taxes. The property tax proposal failed

last month. Another funding tweak to the project is that the board is considering a tiered rate system in which those that use more would pay more. At the meeting, Pacific City resident Walter Kostrikin suggested that developers pay “their fair share” by paying the Authority’s system development charges up front. Currently, SDCs are paid when lots are built on, which, according to Board Chair Carolyn McVicker, can be financially beneficial to the Authority. Citing Nestucca Ridge as an example, she said that by paying the SDC when actual building occurs, the Authority gets the benefit of rising hook-up charges. “Nestucca Ridge was platted in 1995 when the SDC was $1,825,” she said. “If the developer had paid the SDC (for all lots) at that point, he would have contributed $215,000 to the water-sewer district, but that wasn’t what happened. At this point, there are still 28 lots not built on in Nestucca Ridge and if all those 28 lots were built on today (in today’s dollars), we would collect $239,000 — more than the developer would have paid (for all of the lots) and that doesn’t account for the 90 developed lots that would already have contributed another almost $400,000.” Kostrikin said that though he understood McVicker’s point, he suggested that having developers pay for SDCs would make it “like a revolving fund, perfectly equitable.” He also added that he would like PCJWSA to host another public forum that would give users a chance to air their concerns. “We need to debate these issues, the SDC ones (and), for example, the other thing is considering the issue of growth, what kind of growth do we want to support? We have to pay for it. We should be the ones who get to decide how much growth we are going to be willing to support.” In response, McVicker said that the PCJWSA board does not set growth rates as that is “something that is done through zoning and through the land use planning.” At press time, Owen informed the Sun that PCJWSA has not yet decided on whether to hold another forum.

ODFW announces availability of 2016 fishing and hunting licenses Oregon’s 2016 hunting and fishing licenses went on sale Dec. 2 and include a new youth license for kids that permits fishing, hunting and shellfishing all year for $10. The new 2016 Sport Fishing and Big Game Regulations are also now in stores. Hunters and anglers will notice a new look to the regulations this year. “We’ve heard from sportsmen that the regulations can be confusing,” said Rick Hargrave, ODFW information and education administrator. “We’ve made an effort to simplify them and hope they are easier to understand.” The effort included contracting with a different publisher, J.F. Griffin, to produce the regulations. A new searchable web version of the regulations will also soon be available at ODFW’s regulations webpages. In the meantime, PDF copies of 2016 regulations are posted at the hunting and fishing regulations web page. Prices for adult licenses and tags increase for 2016 – the first fee increase since 2010. However, ODFW will continue to charge lower prices for youth to keep

fishing and hunting affordable for families. The popular Juvenile Sports Pac remains $55 in 2016 and prices will be lower than in 2015 for some youth sportsmen. A new combination youth license means all kids age 12-17 (non-residents, too) can fish, hunt, crab and clam all year long for $10. This license includes the Columbia River Endorsement; and a Youth Combined Angling Tag can be added for $5. New license types are also available, including Premium Hunts. These are Oregon’s new two or three month anyweapon deer, elk and pronghorn hunts. Premium Hunts are similar to the auction and raffle tags people pay thousands for, but they cost the same as a regular tag and are an additional hunting opportunity (meaning hunters can still draw a 100, 200, 400 and 600 series tag). Most wildlife management units have one deer and one elk tag available; 29 areas also have a pronghorn tag. Also new this year, the Daily Angling and Shellfish License is designed for visitors to the coast who want to fish, crab and clam for just one day. Cost is $27.50

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • December 11, 2015

for residents and non-residents. Pioneer license holders (age 65 and older, 50-year resident of Oregon) will now pay $6 for a combination license, which was previously free. The change allows ODFW to recoup an average of $20 per paid license holder in federal grants. These grants are important because they help fund fish and wildlife management projects that provide fishing and hunting opportunities. All 2016 licenses and tags can now be purchased online and at license sales agents and ODFW offices that sell licenses. To give a license or tag as a gift, you will need the hunter or angler’s full name and date of birth (day, month, year). If the person has had a license before, purchasers should make sure they have their ODFW hunter/angler ID number, which is found at the top of their license and stays the same every year. Those purchasing a license for someone who has never had a license will have to provide his or her social security number in compliance with Federal and State laws.

Customer Assistance Program aids neighbors With temperatures dropping, Tillamook PUD is promoting its Customer Assistance Program as an emergency assistance program that helps spread warmth through the community. Funded through customer contributions which are matched by the District, the funds help pay the electric bills of those in need. Thanks to what PUD describes as the caring spirit of several hundred Tillamook PUD customers and friends, contributions are made to the program throughout the year. “The long-standing CAP program is designed to assist limited-income families in crisis situations,” said Ray Sieler, general manager of PUD. “The

PUD matches the amount of every donation, and it is placed into a fund where it provides twice the assistance.” Over the past five years, CAP has provided nearly $135,000 to hundreds of Tillamook County families in emergency situations. For local families in crisis, PUD says that CAP has been a lifeline. To learn more about the program, residents are invited to contact Tillamook PUD at 503-842-2535. Those that would like to help their neighbors in need through CAP, can make a onetime gift, sign up for monthly recurring donations, or add extra to their monthly electric bill.

A Round of Applause for a Year of Accomplishments Chamber names Oar House Bar & Grill the Business of the Year, Jacie Voegeli its top volunteer By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

either rain nor winds, or even a blackout, could keep revelers from celebrating the citizens, businesses, and non-profits of South Tillamook County at the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce annual banquet on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Held at the Pelican Pub and Brewery, the event, the primary fundraiser for the chamber’s charitable activities, started with a bang when the power went out and the Pub’s generator was called into action. The rest of the evening, which included silent and live auctions and a short comedy show, went off without a hitch. During the live auction, which included a two-night hotel stay and catering services, the unexpected hot item was a license plate donated by former Oregon Representative Paul Hanneman from the time he was serving at the State Legislature. A starting bid of $15 was followed by an energetic bidding war, finally closing at $300. “That was so fun for me,” said current Chamber president and the evening’s auctioneer, Verne Mobley. “Paul is one of my best friends down here, besides my wife, of course. He donated that at the last minute. I wasn’t sure how it would go, but it was great.” As the live auction ended and the silent auction closed, the recipients of the annual Chamber awards were revealed. First to be recognized was Volunteer of the Year Jacie Voegeli, in particular for her work with the Nestucca Valley Backpack Program. “Jacie is no longer on the Chamber board, but she’s remained really active,” said Mobley, who nominated her for the award. “She’s the contact person for the Backpack Program, and that’s pretty impres-

sive. She actually should have won a long time ago. She always works in the background and doesn’t want any recognition; she kinda kicked me in the pants for doing this.” The award for Citizens of the Year was presented to John and Nancy Emerson. “This was a huge and very unexpected honor especially in this group of people,” said John, who in addition to being an esteemed small and large animal veterinarian has served on both the School Board and the Fire Board. “I just show up and didn’t realize anyone was noticing.” John was happy to give credit to Nancy, though. “She neither asks for nor needs credit, but she certainly deserves it,” he said. Some of Nancy’s volunteer efforts include the Giving Trees program, the Cloverdale Health Clinic, the Teen Drug Resistance program, United Way, and the Cedar Creek Child Care Center, of which John said she is the “founding mother.” The award for Business of the Year was presented to Jessica Kliever, owner of the

simply “serve what people like and try to stay consistent.” According to Mobley, the award has as much to do with the way the owner supports the community as the business itself. “We all had different ideas for business of the year,” he said. “But when Dave Baxter

etour, there’s a flooded road ahead — six words that pretty much sum up the commute for Pacific City residents in the wake of several days of intense rain and blustery conditions. Though South Tillamook County was spared the worst, as the north part of the county took the brunt of the storm that hit the area starting Dec. 7, residents here still faced significant disruptions, beginning with a power outage that wiped out the majority of most resident’s day on Monday, Dec. 7. “This was a pretty substantial storm,” said Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland. “We just didn’t take as big of a hit as they did up north.” Still, a connection to electricity was just one part of the battle South County residents did face. Many locals also had to find alternate routes from home to grocery store and from work to the post office. With Tillamook County strapped for resources, it was the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District that stepped up to close roads that were, in some cases, covered in several feet of water. “We jump in and help when something needs to be done,” Weiland told the Sun. He added that the district first closed Resort Drive, which was mostly underwater, the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 7, an action that he said was partially in response to residents and business owners along the thoroughfare who called Nestucca Fire saying that they “were beside themselves.” Weiland said the problem stems from motorists seemingly not understanding the effect driving through standing water has on adjacent buildings. “That wake you create when you try to go at Mach 5, forces water onto people’s property,” he said. “There’s a lot more than just driving through the water. It’s about the other damages that are caused because of the water. I understand it’s an inconvenience (to take detours) but (motorists) have to think of what it’s going to cost property owners — that water is lapping into those buildings.” Residents along Resort Drive also had the inconvenience of an interruption in sewer services. Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority manager Tony

DRIVERS are cautioned against driving though flood waters like those on Resort Drive at high speeds, as this causes a wake which pushes water and debris against, and in some cases into, resident’s homes and businesses, which can damage those properties. Owen told the Sun that PCJWSA had asked residents along Brooten Road and Resort Drive that use septic effluent systems to not use sewer services until the water goes down. “(That system) is susceptible to groundwater intrusion,” he said. In addition, Owen said that Pacific City’s main water source, Horn Creek, was not being used during the flood event. PCJWSA’s water wells, which served the entire community before Horn Creek went online, provided the Authority’s customers water in its place. “Horn Creek was taken offline because we anticipated that the water would have really high turbidity,” Owen said. The flood waters east of the beach also had significant impact on residents. The most common route to the Willamette Valley, which runs along both the Little Nestucca River Highway (OR-130) and the Three Rivers Highway (OR-22), was disrupted because of a large sink hole that ripped apart the roadway about two miles east of the Little River/ Three Rivers junction. As a result, mo-

torists will need to take US 101 toward Lincoln City to hook-up directly with Highway 18. Though various media reports have termed the Highway 22 closure a longterm one, ODOT region 2 representative Lou Torres told the Sun that repair could begin as early as the week of Dec. 14-18. “We’re hoping that within a week or two, we’ll have it finished,” he said. He added that it is because ODOT is classifying it as an “emergency repair,” that they can address it quickly. “It allows us to expedite the process,” he said. “Usually the bid process takes several weeks, but, because it’s an emergency repair, we can get it done faster. We can cut through the red tape so to speak.” Torres said the sinkhole was discovered the morning of Dec. 7 when a semitruck encountered the obstacle and was “disabled” by it. “It goes across two lanes of traffic,” he said. “It’s not one of those situations were we can temporarily put in one lane. It’s a pretty good sinkhole. We’ll have to rebuild that road.”

“In orthopedics we get to see patients return to the activities that they used to enjoy. It is satisfying and you feel like you are making a difference. This is a nice community and Dr. LaFleur is a great surgeon. I am excited to be here and to work with Dr. LaFleur.” Tillamook Medical Plaza

NEWS&COMMUNITY Flood victims urged to follow insurance protocol Noting that the recovery process for Tillamook County residents dealing with the aftermath of severe storms and flooding may include filing a flood insurance claim, the Tillamook County Department of Community Development says there are three steps to file a claim with the National Flood Insurance Program. They are to: contact your insurance agent, document your damaged property, and file a Proof of Loss form within 60 days of the flood. More details are available at www.floodsmart.gov. As they go through the claims process, flood victims are urged to keep in mind that: they do not need to wait for a Presidential Disaster Declaration to file a claim, that their policy cannot be canceled for making a claim, and that a flood insurance policy is typically separate from a homeowner’s insurance policy. For general flood insurance questions, flood victims should call their insurance company or agent or contact the NFIP at 800-621-3362.

Hailing the Season

THE LIGHTS WENT ON for the Christmas season on Wednesday, Dec. 2 when the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce feted the start of holiday festivities with its annual Cloverdale Christmas tree lighting ceremony. To get things to a festive start, members of the Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School band played several holiday favorites, both as an ensemble band and as duets – in various configurations. The party was in full swing with the arrival of Santa, who once he signaled for the lighting of the Christmas tree, handed out goodie bags to attending children.

Commission adopts new rules for wildlife rehabilitators The Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted new rules for wildlife rehabilitators on Dec. 4 at its meeting in Portland. The new rules provide speciesspecific guidance for reporting, handling and rehabilitating common mammals like black bears, deer and elk. They also add language to make state rules consistent with federal guidelines for federallylisted or endangered species and prohibit certain types of wildlife from importation into Oregon for rehabilitation. Oregon has about 35 licensed rehabilitators who help care for and eventually return sick, injured

or orphaned wildlife to the wild. In other business, the Commission adopted administrative rules for HB 3315, which requires ODFW to track and prepare reports that show the number of hours spent providing services to other state agencies as these agencies implement their own fee-funded programs. In addition, ODFW amended Division 435 rules for wildlife control operators, private businesses that respond to wildlife damage and wildlife-human conflicts. The new rules require all employees doing wildlife control activities to pass a WCO test, charge a fee of $25 for the

THE STATE PARKS COMMISSION officially named the Beltz property — the area’s upcoming state park — the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area at its meeting on Nov. 18.

State Parks votes to name Beltz Farm Sitka Sedge State Natural Area By VICKY HIRSCH for the Sun

regon Parks and Recreation Dept. has officially announced its unanimous approval to name the new state park to be opened on the piece of land locally known as the Beltz property, which is located at the south end of the Sand Lake Estuary, “Sitka Sedge State Natural Area.” The name was selected in order to introduce people to the relatively unknown Sitka Sedge plant which grows in pockets throughout the property. Comments on www.beltzplan.com showed a mixed reaction to the name when it was first proposed. One poster who agreed with the name idea, stated, “I like the name 'Sitka Sedge' for the natural area. There is already a park named for a governor south, historical owner adjacent and a geographical feature north. Sitka Sedge kind of rounds the naming of parks out, and leaves its location a bit obscure, or as OPRD puts it, intimate.” A poster who was not as enamored with the name choice said this: “I prefer a geographical place name rather than choosing just one plant, especially one that is not unique to this site or even to

estuary habitat. I also kind of like honoring the human past, Beltz Farm unit (of Sand Lake Estuary) would be fine. Ben Hedstrom, Design & Planning Coordinator for OPRD, shared on the website some of OPRD's process in choosing the name. “There was discussion on two points: The first being that the fact many locals will continue to call it Beltz. This is true, the local name will probably be Beltz for quite some time, but the name points to its future as a state natural area. The second was curiosity about what a ‘sedge’ is. We think sparking curiosity about native plants is a good start to the adventure of launching a new park. There will still be opportunities to name features inside the park (trails, trailheads, and viewpoints) so we continue to celebrate the site’s roots and history.” The next public meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 14 at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. The Advisory Committee meeting will be held first from 1-4 p.m. The public is invited to listen, and will have a chance to give input at the 6-8 p.m. public meeting that will follow. For more information on the state natural area, visit www.beltzplan.com.

Residents urged to contact county officials before repairing flood-caused damage

Live the way you want to live.

The Tillamook County Department of Community Development is urging county residents to consult the local floodplain administrator and building official for information and permits when considering new construction or repairs on property affected by recent flooding. Obtaining building permits for homes or businesses located within the 100-year flood plain is especially important, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For floodplain management purposes, the floodplain is the area covered by a flood that has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year. By visiting the Department of Community Development, residents may find out if their property is on a federally designated floodplain. This information is also available online at http://msc.fema.gov/portal/. Additional permits may be required, such as zoning permits and/ or flood plain development permits, depending on the property location. Local governments cannot reduce or ignore the floodplain requirements for building or repair. Repair proj-

ects must meet community building codes and flood-damage prevention ordinances. These guidelines are important to communities and residents since they: protect the residents, their families, communities, and buildings by ensuring all proposed work complies with current codes, standards, flood ordinances and construction techniques; provide a permanent record of compliance with elevation, and/or retrofitting requirements, which is useful information when selling your home and necessary for the flood insurance rating; provide suggestions or literature on how to better protect your home or business from future disaster-related damages; and provide consumers with information on selecting licensed contractors and advice on protection from unscrupulous contractors. Residents are asked to start construction and repair only after they have received permits from DCD. For more information on permits and zoning, please feel free to call 503842-3408.

Magnet By VICKY HIRSCH of the Sun

he saying, “I smell a rat,” is usually used to indicate that something is off or suspicious. But for dogs competing in Barn Hunts, successfully sniffing out a rat or rats — and doing it quickly and accurately — is what wins competitions. Buster, an Australian Shepherd and Springer mix owned by Barbara Brown, owner of Monkey Business 101 Nursery, competed against 30 top Oregon dogs in Newberg’s Barn Hunt Association Event the weekend of Dec. 5-6 and placed first both afternoons. Buster competed in the Masters ring both days. In a Masters runs, eight plastic tubes, one to five containing a live rat and the rest with fresh rat litter in them, are hidden. The dogs must sniff out and locate only the tubes with the live rats in them and then accurately indicate when the area is clear of live rats. The maximum time allowed is four and a half minutes. Buster’s fastest run, which he completed in one minute and 23 seconds, had five live rats to locate, three tubes to avoid, and he had to go through a tunnel made of straw bails with at least two turns, and climb up on a hay bale. He bested the second place finisher by 45 seconds. Brown reported that a judge said he was “smokin.”Buster is one of only two mixed breed dogs in Oregon

BUSTER, a Champion Barn Hunt competitor, is pictured with the medals he won at a recent Barn Hunt competition in Newberg. holding a Champion Title. He currently holds six Champion Titles. There are 22 mixed breed dogs in the United States and Canada. Brown says Barn Hunt is a new but quickly growing sport. The next competition will be held Jan. 16-18 at Walnut Springs Stable in Newberg, and is sponsored by Valley Dog Sports, 503871-7015. They have training classes run by Karla Sanders for anyone who is interested in competing.

Gaily-lit decorated trees, Santa’s red suit, and packages with bows are all things that might come to mind when one thinks of Christmas. But, what if, as the Grinch asked, “What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?” Those interested in the more, or “the Reason for the Season,” as many refer to the Biblical Christmas story, are welcome to attend one or more church services centered on baby Jesus and what He means for us all. Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, 35305 Brooten Rd.

Tillamook Co. residents send joy to thousands of children in need worldwide Thousands of children will soon experience the joy of Christmas, thanks to the Tillamook County community. Residents packed empty shoeboxes with small items like toys, school supplies and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse that sends gifts to children living in difficult situations around the world. Tillamook County volunteers and residents contributed to the Portland Operation Christmas Child Area Team collection of more than 26,300 shoebox gifts for the project this year, a record that bested last year’s area collection of 23,776 gifts. Those who missed National Collection Week can still get involved. Through

the Samaritan's Purse website, anyone can virtually “pack” a shoebox, allowing those with a computer or mobile device to provide a tangible gift to a child a world away. At samaritanspurse.org/buildonline, visitors can select a child’s age and gender, shop through an online selection of culturally relevant gifts, and finish by uploading a photo and writing a note of encouragement to the child who will receive it. After the shoeboxes are packed and sent by the Operation Christmas Child team, participants can discover where in the world their gifts will be delivered. Organizers hail it as a convenient yet meaningful way to join in a project that brings hope to children in need.

The virtual-packing tool also offers participants the option to challenge friends to participate or the opportunity to share the gift of giving through a shoebox gift card. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 124 million children in more than 150 countries and territories. In 2015, Operation Christmas Child hopes to deliver gifts to another 11 million children.

A SINKHOLE on OR-22, the Three Rivers Highway, will mean motorists traveling to South Tillamook County from the Willamette Valley will have to detour through either Lincoln City (via Highway 18) or Tillamook (via Highway 6). ODOT expects the repair to the damaged road to take one to two weeks.

It’s Really Sinking In By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

y now, everyone knows we just suffered a major weather event. Roads were flooded throughout Tillamook County; electricity was down as well as phone services for those with land lines. Now we pick up the pieces and assess the damages. Yes, roads are still flooded in some locations and the outlook is not good for some of them. One of those roads is Highway 22 where the road was completely washed out. This occurred a couple miles east of Dolph Junction. The road caved in from side to side and the hole is about 10 feet wide and approximately 7 feet deep, and there is no way around on Highway 22. (There is a way around on the gravel road from the south side of the summit, that takes you off Highway 22 and around the washout.) At first glance, this would seem to be an easy fix, at least temporarily, however some contractors I have spoken with say this could take awhile if ODOT decides it requires a bridge instead of a culvert. I hope they do a temporary fix at least until major repairs can be accomplished. Highway 22 is a main artery to and from the coast. Many from the valley use it to access Pacific City, Cloverdale, Hebo, and Tillamook. Many locals access doctors and hospitals and shopping for essentials in the valley from Highway 22. Without it, one must go through Lincoln City or Tillamook to access our community. Dairies dependent on milk pick up and feed delivery would be seriously impacted. All the fishermen that come from the valley to fish the Nestucca or tidewater for the most part use this highway. It would be a huge inconvenience for those coming from the valley and some folks might just forgo the whole trip. This would obviously hurt our community economically. Another not often considered impact may be on the fall salmon fisheries. The timing could not have been any worse for the spawning fall chinook. All those chinook just got into the spawning beds and have started to lay their eggs. A major flooding event will most surely wipe out a very significant portion of those spawns and will prevent

the late fish from spawning at all. The last time we had major flooding was 1999 and 2000, then too it was at the end of November during the spawning. As a result the fall chinook spawn took a terrible hit as witnessed by the very poor runs of 2003 and 2004, which prompted ODFW to seriously curtail our salmon fishery. Some of you may remember the very limited harvest imposed on the fall salmon fishery for three years. This may again be the case in 2018. Hopefully we won’t have backto-back years of flooding as we did in 1999 and 2000. Two years of spawning loss has a tremendous effect on the fishery. On the bright side, before the rains came and the flooding occurred, fishermen were having a very good season. Salmon fishing had been great and though the numbers were starting to wane, there were still some nice, fresh in, bright salmon being caught. Steelhead, as well, were showing up in good numbers and the numbers were getting stronger every day. Most of the early steelhead run is destined for Three Rivers and is primarily a finclipped hatchery run, however many were reporting wild fish being caught and released as well. Most of the wild steelhead were being caught in the main stem Nestucca and most of them were caught above Three Rivers. Since the deadline for chinook salmon fishing is first bridge in Beaver, no one reporting to us had fished above the deadline, so all the reported steelhead were also from first bridge down to Three Rivers. There has not been much reported below Three Rivers in the Cloverdale run, primarily because the water has been on the high side and drifting from Three Rivers to Cloverdale can be difficult in higher water. Most prefer the easier drifts above Three Rivers —hence the reporting is mostly above Three Rivers as well. If the rains ever cease enough to drop the Nestucca below 6.5 feet, we should again see fishing pick up. Fall chinook will be long gone but winter steelhead should just get better as time moves on. My only request is that somehow they put at least a temporary fix on Highway 22 so we can get the fishermen here.

THE BACK OF THIS HISTORIC POSTCARD READS: “This is Haystack Rock that sets out in the ocean about one mile from the beach. We had a big rifle with us the day we were there and could shoot clear across to it. A boy from Newcastle drowned out by it just about the time George and Nina went east. There were three boys in a rowboat going out to the rock and the breakers caught them-only one got to shore.”

Perilous Times of Pacific City’s Past By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

drowned in the slough which empties into Hawk Creek. The baby’s body was recovered.” “July 4, 1914. Warren and Jim Johnson (sons of Mrs. Julia Dudley) intended going via Nestucca Bay, Bar and Ocean to land on beach at Neskowin as a thrill for the holiday vacationist. Both were drowned on the bar. The body of Jim was recovered on north spit, also three oars, one hat, and two lead pencils. July 9th, the coat belonging to Warren was found half way between Bar and Slab Creek. They had phoned an order to Neskowin Hotel for chicken dinner. Ole Redberg, Clint Miles and Clair Follett in one boat, Bert Ray, Lester Atterbury, and John Redberg in another made several unsuccessful attempts by blasting to raise the body of Warren. It was never found.” This book and others local history books are available at stores and galleries in Pacific City. They make a great Christmas gift.

lexandria Rock’s book “History of the Little Nestucca Country” profiles these and other tragic drownings that took place in the ocean, bay rivers and even sloughs. Here are just a few: “1889 Jim Bozley (son of pioneer Lewis Bozley), Charley Gage, Jeff Dunn and Mr. Hoakee went out over the bar in a small fishing boat. On the return trip, the boat capsized. Jeff Dunn, nearly exhausted, was wading in and would not have succeeded but for the assistance of Marion Penter who pulled Jeff in. Hoakee swam in, unaided, Jim Bozley was drowned and his body never recovered, although the beaches were thoroughly searched for it.” “In 1889, the little grand-daughter of Henry Page

THE AGGRESSIVENESS of Jaykayla Jackson was one of the keys to the Lady Bobcats’ season opening victory against Waldport on Dec. 2.

A Promising Beginning Intensity the key to Lady ‘Cats season opening victory By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

he Lady Bobcats started the year off right, besting Waldport with an impressive season opening victory against Waldport on Dec. 2. In the 18-10 win, Nestucca played aggressively with high energy and an intensity that head coach Tim Foster says is needed for them to improve throughout the season. “Usually you have ups and downs, but tonight we had full energy all night,” Foster said. “Jaykayla Jackson was aggressive on both ends of the court and led the team with nine points. Dakota Logan hit a big shot from right in front of our bench in the third quarter that made it 12-7.” After that shot, he said everyone seemed to relax a bit and the team was able to go on to close out the game. In addition to Jaykayla and Dakota, coach Foster was pleased overall with how physical they played. “Jillian Wilkinson, Tea Chatelain,

and Alyssa Morgan didn’t slow down once the whole game. Their intensity allowed us to hold Waldport to 10 points, which is pretty dang good, and they were constantly getting on the floor to go after loose balls.” Many of this year’s lineups played together this past summer and attended team camp the last two years. “I am really excited about this season,” said Foster. “The girls have a never say die attitude that will carry us at times when we struggle to score or get behind in games. Jillian and Alyssa are great senior leaders and I expect them to push the team to improve every day.” The team was scheduled to play against Jefferson and Sheridan; however, winter storms caused the games to be canceled with only the Sheridan game rescheduled for Dec. 21. “We will have opportunities to win more games this year, but it will come down to the girls trusting each other and themselves to make plays in big moments,” said Foster. “I’m confident they will be able to do so.”
