Should Pacific City Incorporate? Experts will weigh in on the pros and cons of becoming a city at a Feb. 23 town hall By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ith the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority providing necessary sewer and water services, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District firefighting and emergency medical needs, and Tillamook County the remaining government services typically provided by a city, the question is could Pacific City do better if they were to incorporate into a city of their own? The opportunity to learn the answer awaits residents on Tuesday, Feb. 23 when the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee and the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce host a town hall meeting at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, starting at 6:30 p.m. Titled “Incorporation of an Oregon Community,” the town hall meeting will feature a panel of Mike McCauley, executive director of the League of Oregon Cities; Susan Muir, members services director of the League of Oregon Cities; Manzanita Mayor Gary Bullard; Jerry Taylor, city manager of Manzanita; Bay City Mayor Shaena Peterson; Sierra Scholerman, city clerk of Bay City; Debra Clark, treasurer for Tillamook County; Denise Vandecoevering, assessor for Tillamook County; and Paul Levesque, retired chief of staff to Tillamook County Commissioners. During the town hall, the panel will explain the process behind incorporating the city, the reasons for doing so, municipal services that could be offered, and the budget required to make it all happen. The issue of incorporation came up in Pacific City about a decade ago

THE THREE CAPES RELAY will run its third annual race from Cape Meares Lake to Cape Kiwanda on Saturday, Feb. 27.

The Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, a non-profit located in Garibaldi, is looking for a qualified, enthusiastic individual to hire as an Administrative Assistant. This is a regular part-time position. More information, including how to apply, is available at www.tbnep.org or contact Lisa at lphipps@tbnep.org. The application deadline is March 7, 2016.

when the Chamber hosted a similar town hall, also at Kiawanda Community Center. At that time, said Doug Olson, event organizer and Chamber board member, a straw poll indicated little support. But times may have changed, he said, pointing to the money that the Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax is bringing in. Should Pacific City incorporate, it would be able to keep 90 percent of that tax. According to figures released by Visit Tillamook Coast on Feb. 18, in 2015 Pacific City contributed $828,305 to the TLT — by far the largest contributor by area. While 70 percent of that would still need to be used for tourism marketing or tourist-related facilities, the remaining 30 percent could be used for any governmental services. “I’m not necessarily a fan of big and more government, but I do believe in local control,” Olson said. “If people want to control their own destiny, you do that at a lower level. People (have) said we need to talk about this for a couple of reasons. Probably the single largest reason is the TLT.” Despite that, Olson said that his perception is that most residents here appear satisfied with the level of service they get from Tillamook County. “The nice thing about Tillamook County is it’s pretty easy to talk to your county commissioners,” he said. “You just pick up the phone and talk to them. You can’t do that in Portland or Beaverton...so there’s less of a reason (to incorporate) in a way. We already have public water, public sewer and public fire, so we already have three of the big (services) that cities do. So that leaves cops and planning and parks and any number of other things you can do.” Still, should Pacific City incorpo-

rate, they would not only get a windfall from the TLT, but also from a number of other sources that are available to cities. “You get cigarette taxes, you get motor fuel taxes, you get motor vehicle registration taxes (and) you get a franchise fee through PUD to the extent that you have publicly owned rights where the lines go,” Olson said. That said, he noted that would likely not be enough to fund a city without some level of support from property taxes. Olson told the Sun that he believes a city could be run for “a couple million dollars,” but said much of that could come from available sources. “Let’s say you have a million and a half (dollars) from the various sources that are in place and then you tax yourself for another half million,” he said. “You can do as much or as little as you want and control it locally. There’d be some control of land use matters, so if somebody wants to develop something, they don’t have to go to the county. It could be done locally.” Regardless of the benefits, Olson said he wants to leave it up to residents here as to whether incorporation should be pursued. “People will know more at 9 o’clock than they did at 6:30 (p.m.). It’s hard to get too much information,” Olson said of the value of attending the town hall. “In 10 years, things have changed a little bit. If people learn as much as they can and say this is great, they’re doing it with more information than they had before. If they say, ‘no, we’re not interested,’ they’re doing it with more information than they had before.” For more information on the town hall and its hosts, visit www.pcnvchamber.org or www.pacificcitywoodscpac. org.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Sharing the Coast conference set for March 4-6 The public is invited to attend the eighth annual Sharing the Coast Conference, March 4-6, an event that will feature information about coastal science and natural history. The event takes place at Southwestern Oregon Community College, 1988 Newmark, Coos Bay. A collaboration between the CoastWatch program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, and the Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators (NAME), the conference features speakers on topics ranging from oceanography and undersea exploration to beach ecology and climate change. Workshops and field trips will introduce a wider range of subjects and skills. Registration is open online, http:// tinyurl.com/sharingthecoast2016. It will also be possible to register in person at the conference. Keynote speaker for the March 4 “community talk,” which is free and open to all, is Fritz Stahr, who manages the Seaglider Fabrication Center at the University of Washington’s School of Oceanography. Stahr will describe his experiences in studying the ocean through the use of ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), and in introducing students to marine science. Stahr’s talk takes place in the Hales Auditorium on

the SOCC campus, beginning at 7 p.m. Registration for the full conference begins at 8:30 a.m. March 5 at the Hales Center for the Performing Arts. Key speakers on Saturday and Sunday include: oceanographer Bill Peterson, who will describe the changing state of Oregon’s ocean (El Nino, the “Blob,” shifting ecosystems, ocean acidification and more); biologist Daniel Elbert, who will examine the ecology of beaches and dunes and discuss efforts to restore the threatened snowy plover to these habitats; climate scientist and Siletz Tribe member Samantha Hatfield, who will offer new perspectives on how traditional ecological knowledge can be brought to bear on climate change and the coastal environment; and ecologist Steve Rumrill, who will explore changes taking place on our estuarine, sandy and rocky shores. Conference fees are $25 for current members of CoastWatch, Oregon Shores and NAME, $45 for members of the general public, and $20 for students. The fee includes Saturday lunch and the Saturday evening party. Fee for Sunday only is $15 (lunch on your own). For more information, visit http://oregonshores.org/coastwatch.php5 where a full schedule will be posted.

County to receive federal aid for December storm As a result of last December’s rain storms, President Obama declared a state of disaster in Oregon on Feb. 17 and ordered federal aid dedicated to local recovery efforts for 13 affected counties including Tillamook County, which experienced approximately $8.2 million in damage to county roads. “With this presidential declaration, we will receive reimbursement of 75 percent of the cost of repairs to county roads,” wrote Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart in a release to the media. Federal funding is available to state, tribal, and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides

in the counties of Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill. Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide. FEMA said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments. Labhart also added that at this time it is for Public Assistance only. Public assistance means as of right now only public entities qualify for FEMA federal disaster assistance funds. The state did request Individual Assistance (IA) to help private property damaged in the December event. The IA portion of the State’s request is still under review at the federal level and is being seriously considered.

Three Capes Relay promises runners a challenging course, scenic vistas By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

he stunning coastline between Tillamook and Pacific City will be well viewed on Saturday, Feb. 27, as racers tackle the third annual Three Capes Relay. The race, started by Tillamook High School’s cross-country and track coach Patrick Zweiffel, can be run in teams of two, five, or solo, and is a true test of teamwork and tenacity. The 26.2-mile course starts and ends at sea level and climbs 2,400 feet in between, but is made a bit easier by a backdrop that includes six state parks and two national wildlife refuges. “Because the course follows the ocean the views are great,” said last year’s winner in the solo category, Sebastien Durandeu, who liked the race so much he will be returning this year to defend his title, even though he has another marathon scheduled two days later. “You have two or three big climbs, but I liked that because I don’t like flat courses. Compared to most of the marathons on roads it’s challenging, but I finished in what was then my best marathon time because I had been mostly racing on trails. Also, because it was a relay, the support cars that passed you would cheer for you, which I thought was really cool.” For the purpose of the relay, Zweiffel has divided the distance into five sections, or legs, beginning next to Cape Meares Lake in Tillamook and winding south along the Three Capes Scenic Route before ending at Webb Park Campground in Pacific City. Each leg varies in distances from 4.11 miles to just over seven, and has levels of difficulty that range from easy to very difficult. Descriptions of each leg can be found on the event website, which can help relay racers strategize how best to use team members based on their individual strengths, but can also help solo runners plan out their race — where it is safe to push hard and where it might be smarter to take it a bit easier. “I think part of the appeal of races like these is that they can be as easy or difficult as you want to make them,” Zweiffel said. Because the race is growing quickly — from about 100 participants the first year to 300 people already registered

SOLO RUNNERS, and teams of two or five, can test their abilities Saturday, February 27, during the third annual Three Capes Relay. The 26.2-mile run begins at Cape Meares Lake and finishes at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City. The event functions as a fundraiser for Tillamook High School track teams. this year — Zweiffel has sought help from a professional organization to help prevent any growing pains. “This year we will have Scovel Racing doing the timing,” he said. “They are also going to be a big help with the finish line environment.” To provide more opportunities for a first place finish, the race has categories like business, family (including “shirttail relatives”), and Clydesdale for runners over 200 pounds. “We also have team names to make it fun,” Zweiffel said. Some names from last year’s fiveperson teams include “4 Hares and a Tortoise,” “Badass Mother Runners,” and appropriate for Tillamook County, “The Strained Calves,” and “The Hay-

hurlers.” Some teams are made from students of Zweiffel’s cross country and track teams, including last year’s second-place winners, the Tillamook Boys. Zweiffel started the race as a fundraiser for the Tillamook High School teams. “This year I am the head track coach,” he said. “So all the money we raise will be for assistant coaches.” On-line registration is available until Friday, Feb. 26. Packet pickup and late in-person registration will be available at Tillamook High School from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 26 or on race morning at 7:30 a.m. There is no day of race registration.

Tourism receipts rise by 16% Early 2015 revenue reports from Tillamook County for gross lodging receipts and transient lodging tax revenue show a 16 percent increase over 2014. According to figures released Feb. 18, the county’s hotels, campgrounds, vacations homes and other lodging properties collected $2,697,132 from overnight visitors in 2015.The fourth quarter results alone were up 20 percent when compared with 2014, despite the heavy rains and floods in December throughout the county. A possible reason, according to Visit Tillamook Coast, is that rain benefits the fishing industry, and the rivers were flush with steelhead and those trying to catch them.  Pacific City continued to be the largest contributor by area, collecting $828,305 in 2015, up from 2014’s total of $715,761, a 15 percent gain. The area with the next highest collection in 2015 was Oceanside at $484,856, followed by Neskowin at $305,028. Reports recently distributed by Travel Oregon and conducted by Smith Travel Research show 2015 Oregon Coast room revenue as a

whole is up 11.3 percent over 2014. By comparison, tourism in Clatsop and Lincoln counties is a $400 million industry. In Tillamook County, it is a $200-plus million dollar industry, and, according to Nan Devlin, tourism director for Visit Tillamook Coast, the county’s largest employment sector. “The capacity in Clatsop and Lincoln counties is much greater than ours, and their tourism efforts have been underway for decades, so it’s not surprising their tourism economy is twice that of Tillamook County,” said Devlin. “However, because we have less commercial development, more has been preserved in the way of nature-based recreation, and that’s how our county is being perceived by visitors — a great place to enjoy being outdoors. Nature is easily accessible here to all ages and abilities, and that’s a great differentiator.” The majority of visitors to Tillamook County are from the Portland, Salem, Eugene and the Seattle/I-5 area.

Students color and bag it during recycling activities What do hundreds of Tillamook County Students, half a million plastic bags, and a 2016 calendar have in common? “America Recycles Day,” says Sue Owens, outreach and education specialist for Tillamook County Solid Waste. “We had five schools or day care centers participate in our calendar contest, and three in our plastics collections this year. It might not sound like a lot, but the students of these schools did a phenomenal job of participating.” Neah-Kah-Nie Middle and Jr./Sr. High schools, Nestucca High School and Cedar Creek Childcare (Headstart) worked to collect plastic bags and films with the goal of earning recycled plastic lumber for a raised garden bed. Together, the four schools collected nearly 700 pounds of plastic films and bags, which equates to approximately 500,000 bags. “The schools were so successful, that each of them earned more than one prize and one school, Neah-KahNie High, earned six,” Owens reported.

The prizes are slated to arrive at their schools by early spring. Many students also took part in a calendar contest that was held in a partnership with the Tillamook County Year of Wellness program. The contest was open to Tillamook County children, grades Pre-K to grade 3. “We had students from all over the county represented in the over 700 entries this year,” said Owens, “including some home school kids.” Calendars depicting the winning entries were distributed to every mailbox holder in Tillamook County in late December. The Year of Wellness has plans of using the entire collection of entries as part of their promotional program over the year. The winning students were awarded certificates of appreciation, a gift certificate to Oh My Stars children’s resale store and a congratulatory handshake from Commissioner Bill Baertlein at the Jan. 12 Solid Waste Advisory Committee meeting.

ong time Tillamook County resident Thomas Donohue announced on Feb. 16 that he has filed to run for Oregon’s House of Representatives, District 10, which includes portions of Tillamook, Yamhill, Polk, Lincoln, and Benton counties. Donohue is a technical analyst for the Oregon Lottery, having worked there since 1980. He served in the Oregon’s Army National Guard from 1970-78. He is the current volunteer chair of the Tillamook County Republican Central Committee and a precinct committee person. He is also a director of the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association and chaired its Memorial Wall Committee, creating a 30-ton memorial monument at Cape Kiwanda in 2009. Donohue is also a director of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, with the goal of creating a community park, skate park, and interpretive center. He previously served as chairman of the Pacific City Planning Advisory Committee. Donohue cited Representative David Gomberg’s likely support of legislation that will drastically increase Oregon’s minimum wage as a factor in his decision to seek the Republican nomination in the May election. “For several years now, Rep. Gomberg has voted in lockstep with Portland politicians in support of an agenda that favors the desires of special interests over the needs of our community,” Donohue claimed. “I refuse to stand idly by while politicians put local jobs at risk in pursuit of a dangerous and Portlandfocused agenda.” In a letter stating his intention to file in District 10, Donohue wrote, “I’ve been fortunate to be exposed to the financial, educational, infrastructure, and social needs of our coastal commuPhoto by Tim Hirsch nities, the unique agricultural farming TOM DONOHUE announced on Feb. 16 that he has filed to run for traditions in District 10, tourist industry concerns, as well as the natural resource Oregon’s House of Representative’s, District 10, against incumbent Representative David Gomberg.

NVES considers new school building Board of Directors say elementary school needs improvements By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

t a special meeting on Monday, Feb. 16, the Nestucca Valley School District Board of Directors discussed the necessity for improvements to the elementary school facility and voted to move forward with pursuing a general obligation bond to fund the work. The meeting was a follow-up to a presentation before the Board Monday, Feb. 8, by Scott Rose of the DLR Group, an architecture and planning firm.

Learn the ins and outs of Time Banking on Saturday, Feb. 25 An opportunity to learn the basics of the Lower Columbia Time Bank awaits those interested in learning how the concept of using time as a monetary unit works. The documentary film “Time as Money, directed by Lenore Eklund, a PDX Time Bank member, will be shown at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s community hall, 30710 Highway 101 in Hebo on Thursday, Feb. 25, 6-8 p.m. A question and answer session will follow and attendees will have an opportunity to sign up. Time Banking is hailed as an opportunity to do something you enjoy for somebody in your community and having other people do things for you, all without exchanging money. Some examples include changing your car’s oil, mowing a field, building a bookcase, and baking bread. It only costs “time” that you’ve banked. The Lower Columbia Time Bank was begun in 2012 and extends its services from the Long Beach Peninnsula to the Tillamook County border south of Neskowin.

Stimulus to host artist Sara Larson

timulus Espresso Cafe will host a reception for local artist Sara Larson on Saturday, March 5, 4-6 p.m. Her work will be on display at the cafe, located at 33105 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, throughout March and April. Larson’s work features mostly abstract landscapes and figures. “I use images to inspire the emotion I hope to instill in the viewer,” she says. “There is a different process when you view abstracted art. It is easy to look at the chaos of lines and color and try to pull out faces and symbols to justify what you see. I ask you not to do that. During my process, I make a point to not know how it will turn out. Each piece takes its own journey to completion separate from the others and separate from pre- determined ideas of what it should be. Subtle tones contrast with linear weight and negative space to create dreamlike compositions.” Larson moved from the Midwest in 2010 with her Bachelors of Fine Arts in hand, about 10 boxes of stuff and a car full of art. Though she started out just being a visitor to Pacific City, she says one day she just stopped leaving. “The remarkable dynamic of people and landscapes inspired me everyday to create and appreciate the work I produce in this amazing corner of the world,” she says. “I am blessed to

Watershed Council science pub to address rising sea level’s effect on tidal wetlands Curious about the impacts of sea level rise in estuaries? Wonder where our future tidal wetlands will be? Scientist Laura Brophy will touch on these topics and more during a March 1 science pub hosted by the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council at Pelican Pub and Brewery, starting at 6 p.m. A certified professional wetland scientist, Brophy has more than 25 years of field experience in habitats ranging from the Pacific Northwest coastal forests and estuaries to tropical rainforests and high desserts. She is the director of the Estuary Technical Group at the Institute for Applied Ecology and a faculty member at Oregon State University. Brophy is working to ensure our world has tidal wetlands into the future. Her talk will be on a project the Estuary Technical Group is conducting for the MidCoast Watersheds Council with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Coastal Program. The project analyzes how sea level rise

may affect tidal wetlands in estuaries along Oregon’s coast — and where the tidal wetlands of the future may be. The analysis of sea level rise impacts to Oregon’s tidal wetlands will build from the new, more accurate maps of the extent of tidal wetlands that were created in 2014 by Oregon’s Department of Land Conservation and Development and ETG. The new tidal wetland maps were generated using remotely-sensed land surface elevation data (LIDAR) and long-term water level models. ETG’s sea level rise project will use the same methods to understand where these crucial habitats may be in the future, under predicted sea level rise scenarios. Brophy will describe early draft results and how they can be used, and will seek the audience’s feedback and questions. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and a limited amount of appetizers will be provided. Attendees will also be able to purchase dinner and drinks during the science pub. For more information, visit nestuccawaters.org.

Chamber

Spotlight

An Important Topic By VERNE MOBLEY Chamber President

Howdy Pacific City Sun readers! Tim says it’s time to spread the news about what the Chamber of Commerce here has been doing or not doing. So far, we are just doing the good stuff. One thing is the meeting on Feb. 23 at the Kiawanda Community Center to talk about possible incorporation of our city. Doug Olson has a good agenda lined up with mayors of cities in the county, executive director of the League of Oregon Cities, Tillamook County treasurer, chief of staff of our County Commission, and others. The time is 6:30-8:30 p.m. so, not a “too long one” but a good one. Our next membership meeting is at the Pelican on March 1 at noon. The following meeting, on April 4, will be dedicated to a Candidate’s Forum. The candidates for contested positions are all invited to attend. This is a great chance to get acquainted with them. Your president will allow the meeting to go past one o’clock, just this once!! Any extra time it takes will be well worth it! Yep! It will!! We are excited to announce our new Visitors Center — the PCNV Chamber office will open soon, possibly as early as March 1. We have acquired the assistance of a pair of super interior designers — Jacie Voegeli and Susan Amort. They will design the “spiffiest” Visitors Center ever. Stop by March 1 or maybe sooner. Merrianne Hoffman has “Birding & Blues,” off the ground. Returning April 29-30 and May 1, this event is going to be a big deal this year. She has things lined up that were popular in the past and new stuff, too. More later. When you are shopping for something really different, come to Cloverdale. The Rusty Cow and the Red Barn Flea Market have something for all. They are not Chamber members, but they are good friends. Y’all come on over. For membership information, talk to any member or call me at 971-257-0200. Paid Advertisement

SPORTS Bobcats end regular season with win over Pirates By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

he Nestucca Bobcats ended the regular season with a home win against Neah-Kah-Neah, toppling the Pirates 31-26 and ending the season

14-9. “It was a struggle all night to get anything going,” head coach Jimi Kiser said. “It was a defensive game all the way through and the boys kept battling to the final horn to win the game.” Brett Elder had 18 in the game. “It was just one of those nights where nothing seemed to be working offensively, but our defense won us the game,” Kiser said. The win against Neah-Kah-Neah was a relief as the boys had lost to Vernonia, the number one team in the state, 65-43 on Feb. 9. “They have a lot of really good players,” says Kiser. “We played pretty well for two of the four quarters but just couldn’t sustain it through all four.” On Feb. 6 the ‘Cats beat Knappa at home, 48-37. “This was a big win for us over a good team,” Kiser said. Nestucca had very balanced scoring in the Knappa game with Brett Elder leading the way with 15, Wyatt Link with 11, and five others getting in the scoring column. Elder also had 20 rebounds and helped to slow down Knappa’s attacking offense. The Bobcats were 12-15 from the free throw line, a key to securing the win. On Feb. 4, they played Delphian at home and managed to win 48-37. “It was a hard fought game; we struggled to get the stops that we typically get,” Kiser said. Delphian hit some shots and kept themselves in the game the whole way, but Elder really dominated the game. He ended up with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Cole Strober had 11 points, and Nestucca held on for that victory. The Bobcats will host Knappa Feb. 19 in a play-

Lady Bobcats finish season 5-18, 2-12 in league By SHIANA WEAVER for the Sun

he lady Bobcats finished the season 2-12 in league and 5-18 overall. They came out strong Feb. 2, narrowly beating Gaston 29-28. However, the winning streak was short lived as the girls came up short on the season’s remaining games. The first loss was to Damascus Christian on Feb. 4, 27-28, then Knappa on Feb. 6, 32-39, officially eliminating the girls from the district playoff picture. They dropped a Feb. 9 contest against Vernonia, 39-66. In the season finale, Nestucca, despite playing an intense four quarters, lost a Feb. 11 game to NeahKah-Nie, 22-30. “Neah-Kah-Nie plays great defense and they make you work really hard for everything, and this night was no different,” head coach Tim Foster said. “Tea Chatelain played great defense on Alaina Holm, one of the best players in the league, and held her to just six points.” According to Foster, the team struggled to score in the first quarter, and turned the ball over a few more times than he would have liked in the second half. “Neah-Kah-Nie showed why they are the second best team in our league and likely headed to the state playoffs,” he said. Jaykayla Jackson and Alyssa Morgan, both frequent scorers for Nestucca, led the girls with five points each. “The girls showed tremendous improvement from November to February,” Foster said. “I wish for our seniors that we would have been able to win a few more of those close games and get into the district playoff, but just the fact that we were in so many close games this season is a vast improvement over previous years. “Alyssa Morgan, Jillian Wilkinson, Thelma Chavarin, and Miranda White have been great leaders in our program during the three years I have been here, Page 14 • Pacific City SUN • February 19, 2016

THE NESTUCCA BOBCAT GIRLS lost their season closer to the Neah-Kah-Neah Pirates, 22-30, on Feb. 11, ending the season 5-18, 2-12 in league play. and they will be missed,” he added. “All four of them truly exhibit the characteristics that we want our teams to be about. They are hard working, determined, and willing to sacrifice for their teammates. They have helped get this program moving in a positive direction.”
