Vote coming on density change proposal CAC, Planning Commision to consider changes to Community Plan, zoning regulations

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee is holding an emergency meeting at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, Saturday, Feb. 3, starting at 10:30 a.m., to vote on whether or not the group at large will support proposed amendments to the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan, as well as accompanying changes to zoning ordinances.

The group had initially intended to vote on the issue on Jan. 15, but following a decision to recommend support of the changes by the group’s Land Use Committee, the group decided on the delay as there was discussion about not all in attendance having read the latest proposal.

Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto, told the Sun that he will not be able to be present for the emergency meeting because of an earlier commitment — made two months ago — to appear at the Oceanside CAC. PLANNING COMMISSION TO CONSIDER CHANGES The need for a previously unscheduled CAC meeting to decide

the matter exists because the matter will go before the Tillamook County Planning Commission on Thursday, Feb. 15 — ahead of the next regularly scheduled CAC meeting. The Planning Commission meeting will start at 7 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Once planning commissioners vote on their recommendations, the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners will take up the matter. They are currently scheduled to do so on March 29, 2 p.m. at Tillamook County Courthouse.

The debate over the current draft of the community plan revisions center around proposed increases in density in the high density residential (R3) neighborhoods as well as changes in the commercial zones.

In the proposed changes, one- to eight-family dwellings — including townhouses, rowhouses, apartments and condominiums — would be a use permitted outright. Currently, uses permitted outright are limited to a four-family dwelling in R3 zoned property. As well, the proposed changes remove the requirement for an additional 2,000 square feet of lot area for each additional family unit on a minimum sized lot — which is 5,000 square feet — in R3 zones. Structures

exceeding eight units will need to get a conditional use permit.

In the commercial zones — both C1 and C2 — multifamily dwellings exceeding four units — including townhouses, row houses, condominiums and apartments —would become an outright use if the current language is adopted. Currently a conditional use is required for these.

Though oral testimony will be heard at the Feb. 15 Planning Commission meeting, written testimony must be submitted to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, 1510-B Third St., Tillamook, OR 97141 prior to 4 p.m. on Feb. 6 to be included in the Planning Commission packet mailed to members the week prior to the hearing. Comments can also be emailed to Community Development Director Sarah Absher at sabsher@co.tillamook.or.us or Brarrett Chaix at bchaix@co.tillamook.or.us.

The most recent version of the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan and the proposed zone changes can be viewed at co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ ComDev/. As well, there are three printed copies of the plan available at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, available for public use.

Home for CARE surpasses campaign half-way mark CARE, Inc. recently announced the public launch of its “Home for CARE Campaign,” a $750,000 effort to provide the funds needed to assure CARE, Inc. can secure a permanent home to provide support services to the community. With 50 percent of the funds needed already committed, CARE says it’s well on its way to purchasing its First Street location, creating long-term stability for the agency and the clients they serve.

Some of Tillamook’s leading companies, regional foundations and generous private donors are leading the effort. The Tillamook County Creamery Association has committed $75,000, Adventist Health has committed $25,000, The Oregon Community Foundation has given $50,000, and Spirit Mountain Community Fund $50,000. Together with other significant foundation and individual donations added in, the

total given so far exceeds $450,000.

“The board of CARE, Inc. is grateful to the many dedicated community leaders and donors who are actively engaged in helping us achieve the ambitious $750,000 goal for the Home for CARE Campaign,” said Erin Skaar, executive director.

“Momentum is building, with over 50 percent of the funds needed already committed. We are grateful to our generous lead donors, including The Tillamook County Creamery Association, Adventist Health, The Oregon Community Foundation, Spirit Mountain Community Fund and the many generous individual donors, for their transformative gifts. Their commitment to the well-being of the entire community through their support of CARE will assure we can be here for those who need us most, both now and in the future.”

We know that CARE provides the critical support that helps people to get back on their feet and the resources to assure they can move ahead, not fall behind. When a family faces an unexpected financial crisis and are at risk of eviction, CARE is there for them. When a disabled veteran struggles to pay their heating bill, CARE is there. This makes a stronger, more stable community for all of us.”

Diver rescued from Tillamook Bay by local law enforcement officers during marine patrol During a Jan. 22 routine marine patrol in the Crab Harbor section of Tillamook Bay, a marine deputy from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and OSP Fish and Game trooper encountered divers at a commercial clamming operation, one of which was in the water, in distress and struggling to remain afloat. Attempts to rescue the victim were made by officers on scene but were unsuccessful and the diver slipped below the surface.

A second diver with the clamming operation was able to locate the subject underwater and bring him to the surface after releasing his weight belt and other equipment. The officers were able to recover the adult male from the water who was unconscious and unresponsive. One of the officers on scene performed CPR on the victim

as he was rushed by boat to the Port of Garibaldi docks to awaiting fire and rescue units.

Officers were able to resuscitate the victim while en route to medical units on shore and the male was conscious and alert upon arrival to the docks. The victim was subsequently transported to the Tillamook Regional Medical Center by ambulance for further treatment.

The identity of the adult victim was not immediately available and the incident is still under investigation according to Sheriff’s Office officials.

Members of the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Garibaldi Fire and Rescue, Tillamook Ambulance, Tillamook 911 and the United States Coast Guard assisted with the incident.

A Full Tank THANKS TO a contribution by Hillsboro resident Jimmy Henry as well as the groundwork done by library board member Jody Ferguson, patrons of the South Tillamook County Library can do more than swim in a sea of books when they visit Pacific City’s popular place for reading and more. Ferguson recently accepted a donation of an 80-gallon aquarium that now features a collection of 23 freshwater tropical fish, some of which were courtesy of Henry and some that were purchased

by Ferguson. The new window to the waters was installed on Jan. 27. “It just adds something a little special, and the kids love it,” says branch lead Courtney Remington, who had made a proposal Photo by Tim Hirsch to the board to purchase a new tank to replace the small one that the library’s goldfish had outgrown. “They see it and it sparks their interest. They love the pirate ship in there (and) the fish.” Future plans call for establishing a daily feeding time of 4 p.m, which Remington says will facilitate giving kids the chance to come in and feed the fish if they should so choose. As well, once the fish have a little more time to acclimate, Remington plans to invite patrons to come in and name the fish. She added that one thing she likes about the new addition to the library is the calming effect it has. “I read an article that (said) watching a fish tank is somewhat equivalent to petting your animals. It lowers your respiration rate and your heartrate so you’re more calm.” The South Tillamook County Library is located at 6200 Camp St., Pacific City. For more information, call 503-965-6163.

LIBRARIAN Bill Landau

Nesko Women to host librarian Bill Landau The Nesko Women’s Club will host guest speaker Bill Landau, of Tillamook County Library, during the group’s monthly meeting on Friday, Feb. 16, starting at 11:45 a.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Lunch (available for $6) during the event will be catered by the Grateful Bread, and Kiawanda Community Center kitchen. Club members can also bring their own lunch. Attendees are asked to RSVP for the meeting by calling 503-8639307.

Library hosts emergency preparedness presentation Want to be prepared for an emergency? Learn simple steps to take before an emergency to ensure your family and pets are ready to weather a crisis safely and comfortably. Red Cross Prepare! will be offered at three Tillamook County Library branch locations on Tuesday, Feb. 13, starting with a presentation at 12:30 p.m. at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City.

Subsequent presentations will be held at 3:30 p.m. at the main branch of Tillamook County Library and 6:30 p.m. at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The presentations will teach residents how to follow simple steps so they can be informed, have a plan and customize an emergency supply kit for their family and pets.

Tillamook County Library programs are free and open to the public. For more information, call 503-8424792, ext. 1708.

Oregon’s commerical Dungeness crab fishery gets underway Oregon’s valuable commercial fishery for the state’s official crustacean, Dungeness crab, is now underway.

This year’s opening was delayed from its target start date of Dec. 1 because testing of crabs on some parts of the Pacific coast showed crabs were low in meat yield. In partnership with the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission and the commercial crab industry, ODFW collects and quality tests crabs out of the six major crabbing ports before the season begins. The season can be delayed if the meat yield doesn’t meet a certain standard, which means that consumers get a high quality product with plenty of meat. (The goal is 23 or 25 percent meat recovery depending on the area, or 9-10 ounces of crab meat for a crab weighing 2.5 pounds.) Failure to achieve a negotiated opening price and intense coastal storms also delayed the opening a few days after Jan. 15.

Current regulations allow only male crabs larger than 6 ¼ inches across the back of the shell to be taken. This protects the female and undersized male crabs which constitute the breeding population and produce the next generation of crab to be harvested in about four years, ensuring the sustainability of the overall stock and the industry.

According to ODFW, this regula-

tory approach is working. Preliminary results from a NOAA study show that the population of legal-size males appears to be stable to increasing on the West Coast. Harvest rates are also stable to increasing. Last season’s ex-vessel value (or average price) set a record of $62.7 million, with landings totaling 20 million pounds, 22 percent above the 10-year average.

Commercial crabbing starts in the winter, when crabs are hard-shelled and full of meat. State natural resource agencies in Oregon, Washington and California cooperate as part of what’s known as the Tri-State Agreement. They jointly set a season opening date for the area from Point Arena, Calif. to Grays Harbor, Wash., or divide it into two areas with different opening dates. This helps to ensure that the fishery is fair and certain areas aren’t over-targeted while others are closed.

While domoic acid did not play a role in this year’s delayed opening for the northern area, the fishery south of Cape Blanco remains closed because at least some crabs are still above the domoic acid action level. Toxins present an ongoing concern for the state and the industry, and Oregon has a monitoring and response system in place for shellfish to protect public health and manage

PIZZAS, SANDWICHES & MORE! PIZZAS

the risk of contamination.

Oregon Department of Agriculture oversees the collection and testing of shellfish samples. Crabs are sampled every two to four weeks when toxins are above a certain level in razor clams or another indicator species. If a single crab tests above the action level (20 parts per million for meat, 30 for viscera), that harvest area is closed and any crabs taken recently by the commercial industry are not sold to consumers.

(When viscera is above 30 ppm but meat is below 20 ppm, managers can sometimes order that crab be eviscerated rather than doing a full closure.) It takes two clean tests, taken at least seven days apart, for ODA and ODFW to reopen the harvest area.

Since the first ever in-season commercial closure of a harvest area last year (when a single crab’s viscera tested too high for domoic acid), ODFW, ODA and the industry have adopted new rules to improve traceability in the market chain, resulting in better preparation and response to future domoic acid events.

Efforts to reduce commercial crabbing’s impact on the environment and other marine species are also underway.

Since 2014, a derelict gear removal program collecting abandoned crab pots or other equipment has been in place.

Pelican unveils new IPA

Community Tillamook County

Leaning on its dry-hopping technique, Pelican bills the Beak Bender IPA as a recipe long on creativity, flavor

W

ith a flair for exploring all the ways to tap the full spectrum of hop flavors and aroma, Pelican Brewing Co. recently added what brewers are calling the “ultimate IPA” to its year-round lineup. Leaning on its pioneering dry-hopping invention to extract even more character from its ingredients, Pelican has crafted Beak Bender, a contemporary hop-forward yet drinkable IPA. Brewers bill it as a beer with super clean bitterness and punchy, juicy hop flavor.

Bountiful quantities of Citra and El Dorado hops offer aromas and flavors reminiscent of luminous citrus and zesty orange balanced against a lean malt bill for a well-attenuated delicious new brew.

Beak Bender rounds out Pelican’s scope of IPAs with a new twist on a classic — and features a drinkable 6.7 percent ABV. “Beak Bender is an exciting addition to the Pelican lineup of IPAs providing a bright, fruity and juicy hop character while also delivering a subtle malty balance and a very clean finish,” says Darron Welch, founding brewmaster, Pelican Brewing Co. “Overall hop punch and drinkability are the key features of Beak Bender—Pelican has always strived to create beers with great aromatic intensity and snappy clean bitterness, and those are at the forefront of this delicious new IPA.” Since it was born at the beach 21 years ago, Pelican has enjoyed a reputation for leading American IPA development, creating and releasing numerous multi-award-winning IPAs including India Pelican Ale, Imperial Pelican Ale, Umbrella IPA, Silverspot IPA , Beak Breaker and now Beak Bender.

“Darron has crafted groundbreaking ales for Pelican since its inception and his reputation for brewing creativity and quality cannot be overstated,” says Jim Prinzing, CEO, Pelican Brewing Co. “To make the cut at Pelican, a beer must deliver a clean, well-attenuated finish that really promotes drinkability and balance.

With Beak Bender, Darron was able to deliver on all those key points and STILL turn the hop flavor to 11. To me, it is the ultimate IPA — loads of aroma all the way to the last sip and supremely drinkable.”

Consistent with an independent spirit and award-winning creativity rooted at Oregon’s rugged coast, Pelican last year set out to invent an alternative method to dry hop beer. Driven by a desire to create a more efficient and safer method to dry hop, brewmaster Welch masterminded what Pelican says is a better vessel — “The Hoppinator,” a more productive and sanitary system for dry-hopping beer. Welch rethought the process of how to introduce hops to the

fermenter and designed a new vessel to accomplish this task.

According to Pelican brewers, the biggest difference for the beer drinker is enhanced taste and aroma. The new process introduces much less oxygen — the hop pellets go directly into the clean vessel, then the brewer seals the vessel and purges with CO2. As a result, there is extremely low oxygen pickup compared to the traditional dry-hopping process which increases flavor stability and quality.

Welch says that because the hops are incorporated into the liquid with an agitator and emulsified in the beer, then shot back into the main fermenter, the brewers are able to extract much more flavor and aroma from the hops than the traditional method of dry hopping. The benefit is that Pelican can now extract even more character from each pound of hops.

“At Pelican, we constantly search for unique and delicious ways to explore the full spectrum of hop flavor and aroma — the idea for Beak Bender was to reimagine what an IPA could be in 2018 with the hop varieties and even a new dry hop injection process we have available today,” says Welch. “We turned to two bold, flavorful hop varieties and used our proprietary dry hopping device ‘The Hoppinator’ to rend every molecule of flavor and aroma.”

Beak Bender, which will be available year-round, debuts early February in 6-packs, 22-ounce bottles and on draft in select locations.

With consistent growth and demand for its products, Pelican recently increased brewing and bottling capacity at its Tillamook facility to more than 38,000 barrels and opened a new brewpub in Cannon Beach which offers additional capacity for such experimentation.

Like all Pelican beers, Beak Bender is born at the beach by a team of awardwinning craft beer makers known for brewing styles of beer that they themselves love to drink.

For a comprehensive review of all award-winning Pelican beer offerings, visit pelicanbrewing.com.

Pelican Brewing Co. was founded in 1996 by Jeff Schons and Mary Jones in Pacific City with Oregon’s only oceanfront brewpub. The brewing company has created masterpieces like Kiwanda Cream Ale, India Pelican Ale, MacPelican’s Scottish Ale, Tsunami Stout and Doryman’s Dark and has won more than 450 awards including a Silver Medal at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival, 2014 World Beer Cup© Champion Small Brewing Company and Brewmaster of the Year.

Spotlight

Event planning moves forward

By VERNE MOBLEY for the Chamber

Holy smokes! Our P.C. Sun owner-editor Tim Hirsch just sent a note telling me it’s time to do this again. I look forward to doing this, but the last time we talked it was Christmas.

There’s more fun stuff in store for February and on through the year. Coming soon, on Feb. 16, is a high school trip to Salem to our capitol. Our Chamber has sponsored this for several years now, and it’s good for us all. We get to visit at lunchtime face-to-face with Sen. Arnie Roblan and Rep. David Gomberg. A very informative day with usually a visit to the House and Senate.

A big community event on April 21-22 is “Birding and Blues.” These days get more fun and interesting every year. Merrianne Hoffman chairs this event each year and does a super job.

She’s happy to have a great bunch of volunteers to work with.

Clover’s Day comes July 7 this year. Local folks Debbie Hale, Tom Goodwin, Fred Baskins, and many others have a big day planned. A reminder, there will be no professional fireworks displays at Pacific City or Neskowin this year. It’s just too expensive and too much hassle for our volunteers.

Our Lions Club has been very active under the enthusiastic leadership of our President Dorothy Gann. We, too, are involved with the Salem trip.

Dorothy has the lunches planned with Rob Royster and his crew — mostly Sandy — ready to build about 40 lunches for us. Our Club presented citizenship awards to 10 deserving students at Nestucca Valley Elementary School on Jan. 25th. We enjoy doing this as the kids remember us when they see us later.

Please join us for the next membership meeting on Feb. 6 at noon at Kiawanda Community Center.

We’ll have folks from “Food Roots” there to let us know what they do.

Be a Chamber member! Sure!! Call me at 971257-0200.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS held a “listening session” for South Tillamook County residents on Jan. 23 at Kiawanda Community Center. More than 80 citizens showed up to listen and make their voices heard as well.

Officials open ears to concerns of South County

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

M

ore than 80 South Tillamook County residents turned out for a Tillamook County Commissioners “Listening Session” on Jan. 23 at Kiawanda Community Center to hear updates from county government and share their viewpoints on a variety of issues.

The meeting started out with reports from County Commissioners David Yamamoto and Bill Baertlein, Department of Community Development director Sarah Absher, County Counsel Bill Sargent, and Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty.

Baertlein started the night off with an update on the effort to bring more affordable housing to the county. He said that the county has one northwest Oregon developer that is interested in building a 45-unit complex for lowincome senior citizens, a project that he says is “desperately needed in Tillamook County.” To help facilitate this project, as well as others, he said the county is examining the possibility of setting up a housing commission. He said he envisions it starting out as a county organization but one that could later “spin off into a community development corporation or possibly some other nonprofit that can start working towards building some workforce housing in Tillamook County.”

The county, he said, is also looking to state grants to help jumpstart the building of workforce housing and is

looking at two grants — one to hire a housing advocate to work with developers and the planning department and the other to pay for system development charges for a housing development in South Tillamook County.

“It’s an exciting time,” Baertlein added. “There’s a lot going on right now.

We just need to continue the process and get some things built.”

Yamamoto also took the opportunity to address the tsunami scare due to an Alaskan earthquake that occurred early at 12:30 a.m. the same day of the meeting. In answering public concern about a lack of a warning — and a lack of tsunami sirens — he said that the county’s sirens were taken down more than six years ago because of age, expense to maintain and a lack of availability of parts.

“If you’re at the coast and you can’t get off the floor for five minutes because of the shaking, that is your tsunami warning and you need to get to high ground,” he said.

But the case is different for a distant tsunami, such as one that could have been generated by a quake such as the Jan. 23 Alaskan one.

“The plan that we had in place at that point was that with public works, the sheriff’s office, anybody with a loudspeaker on their vehicle was just going to go up and down the beach areas and try to wake everybody up and get them out of the area,” he said. “I’m not sure if that plan could have been successful this morning. I think we need some more planning. I’m going to be having

some conversations to see where things went right and where we could have done better.

“If you’re thinking Tillamook County should go out and buy new tsunami sirens, well we would love to do that but we’re talking a lot of money here and this county cannot afford that right now. Do we have a perfect plan? Maybe not. But this is going to help us prepare moving forward. I’m hoping that everyone in this room will be involved in the conversation.”

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief Jim Oeder, who was also in attendance for the listening session, said that much of the problem was due to the slow confirmation of whether there was a threat.

“It took us a little over two hours just to get the information of what was going on up there,” he said. “They really weren’t picking up any waves so it was a long time. That’s why the Nixle (messages) didn’t necessarily go out. We weren’t getting the information we needed to be able to make any decision. We didn’t want everybody running for the hills without knowing that we really did have something possibly coming. If we would have had information given to us, the Nixle alerts, reverse 9-1-1, (and) broadcasting would have went.”

Yamamoto also addressed the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department’s development of Sitka Sedge State Natural Area where he said there is “a lot of consternation in the community of Tierra Del Mar about potential flooding” that could potentially occur should

Alexander String Quartet to play Feb. 11 Neskowin Chamber Music concert

I

f making great music is a crime, The Alexander String Quartet has committed a capital offense.

Now in its 36th year as an ensemble, the group has performed in the major music capitals of the world on five continents and on Sunday, Feb. 11, they’ll bring their talents to Camp Wi-Ne-Ma, as the next act of the Neskowin Chamber Music 2017-18 season.

The 3 p.m. concert replaces the Lark Quartet, which was unable to come.

The Alexander String Quartet is widely admired for its interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart, and Shostakovich and its recordings of these works have been acclaimed by critics everywhere. It is also known for its advocacy of new music and has commissioned a number of works in that genre.

The quartet is a major presence in San Francisco, its home base. It serves as Ensemble in Residence for San Francisco performances and as director of the Morrison Music Center at San Francisco State University’s College of Liberal Arts.

Comprised of Zakarias Grafilo (violinist 1), Frederick Lifsits (violinist 2), Paul Yarbrough (violist) and Sandy Wilson (cellist), the quartet’s performance calendar includes appearances at Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, and the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, Jordan Hall in Boston and the Library of Congress and Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. among other places. Among their many recordings are pieces by Cole Porter and George Gershwin.

Grafilo joined the ensemble in 2002 after a career as Second Principal Violinist of the Pacific Symphony and Concertmaster of the Stockton Symphony. He

holds a B.A. degree from San Francisco State University and is continuing his studies at UCLA. Lifsitz studied violin in his native Boston and at Indiana University. Before joining the Alexander, he played several seasons with the Boston Symphony and taught chamber music at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School.

Yarbrough is a founding member of the Alexander.

He has given a number of solo recitals and was Principal Violist of the Chamber Orchestra of New England.

He and his colleagues received honorary Doctorates of Fine Arts from Allegany College, and he received a Honorary Degree from St. Lawrence University. He is on the board of the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music.

Fellow founding member Wilson is a native of Northumberland, England. He completed his graduate studies at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen. At 21, he was principal cellist in the Allegemeine Musikgesellschaft Orchestra in Lucerne, Switzerland.

He moved to the U.S. in 1979 and completed a degree at Yale. He is a board member of Chamber Music America and a member of the California Cello Club.

The Alexander String Quartet will also hold an outreach session at Neskowin Valley School on Monday, Feb.12, starting at 8:45 a.m.

Camp Wi-Ne-Ma is located two miles north of Neskowin, just off Highway 101. Season tickets are $110. Individual tickets are $25. For more information call 503-965-6499, write Neskowin Chamber Music at P.O. Box 1044, Pacific City, Oregon 97135, or visit neskowinchambermusic.org.
