ommunity members and stakeholders of the Pacific City State Airport shared their reservations over the possible sale of the airport into private hands during a town hall held on March 9. As has been previously reported in the Sun, the Oregon Department of Aviation, which hosted the meeting, has been investigating possibly selling the airport with the caveat that it continues to be run as a public use airport. “Pacific City Airport, regardless of what happens, will remain a public use airport,” said Matt Moss airport manager for ODA. “We are going through this process because, as has been brought out in many other meetings, we want the best airport possible in Pacific City. “If and when we decide that it’s in the best interest of the airport to transfer it to private ownership, remember that the airport is not being closed and it’s not being changed from a public use airport.” Common concerns raised during the public comment were the loss of control that private ownership could bring and a lack of assurance that it would forever remain a public use airport. “I know you can say that it’s always going to remain an airport, but I don’t feel comfortable,” said Philip Rissel, a pilot who grew up here and now lives in Hillsboro. “I feel that just because someone approaches you and says that there’s an opportunity to sell and get out of this liability, I just don’t think that’s right. The hardest part for me is to try to understand what it would be like in private hands.” “We’re very interested and concerned in the viability of the airport because we’re looking to run two businesses out of it — aerial cinematography and plane sales,” said Matt Williams, of New Heights Cinematography. “Why would we want to see the airport continue as a state entity? Continuity would be a very big concern. When it goes into private ownership, people die, families change, (and) heirs have different concerns. (Operating as a) state entity has a lot more continuity in that regard.” “Part of (why) the state owns things like state parks and state highways is to ensure that they’re going to be there from generation to generation,” added Pacific City homeowner Leonard Rydell. Williams also questioned the financial viability of it being run as a private enterprise. “I just don’t really see how the num-

MATT MOSS, airport manager for ODA, above, hosted a town hall March 9 in which citizens and stakeholders were invited to give input on possible private ownership of the Pacific City State Airport.

bers are going to pencil out for private ownership — especially when the state is saying that they really don’t want to deal with it,” he said. Williams also urged other alternatives, such as other buyers and community ownership, to be explored. Sisters resident and local homeowner Robyn Holdman, who along with local resident Sally Rissel have started a support group for the airport that they have dubbed Friends of Pacific City State Airport, said she supports the ODA’s efforts to hear the community’s concerns about a possible sale. That said, she wanted assurances any decision would continue to involve local input. “The people that need to be involved with us are the stakeholders,” she

said. “Those need to be people around the airport. They need to be pilots. They need to be county commissioners. They need to be Rep. (David) Gomberg. They need to be some of the businesses, the Chamber. But, the point that we want to get out here is we want to be engaged in this.” She also opined that the intent of the donors who donated the land for the airport was that it was done with the intent of it being a public airport and not one in private hands. Explaining the value of the airport to the business community was Patt Williams, who along with her husband Geoff, owns and operates Pacific City Inn, which is located along the airstrip. “It’s a charming airstrip and our

It really adds a nice flavor to our business.” Also present at the meeting was Rep. David Gomberg (D-Otis) who said he recognizes how important airports are to many of Oregon’s coastal communities. “Certainly, the one we have here is an integral part of who we are and what we are and where we hope to be in the future so these are important questions,” he said. Following the public comments, Moss assured attendees that the agency is listening to concerns.

rea children, and visitors, too, will get a sweet start to their Easter celebration when the Nestucca Valley Lions Club welcomes youngsters to their annual Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday, March 31 at the Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School football field. The festivities will start at 9 a.m. with the arrival of the Easter bunny — parents are encouraged to snap their own photos of their children with the fabled mascot. As well, volunteers and staff from the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District will be on scene to show off a fire engine, share safety information and show youth how to use a fire hose as they put out a “mock” house fire. The celebration will move to the fields at 10 a.m. when children, ages 1 to 10, will line up for the hunt. Participants will be broken up into two groups — ages 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 — so all have a fair chance at the treats waiting in each Easter egg. The Lions Club is filling each egg with individually wrapped candy, quarters and coupons from South Tillamook County merchants. “We’ll have at least 800 eggs so there’ll be lots eggs,” said organizer Teresa Smith. “Everybody will be happy.” As part of the event, the Lions are raffling off three Easter baskets, each valued at approximately $85. Tickets — $1 each or six for $5 — are available at the Pacific City branch of Oregon Coast Bank and will also be for sale during the event. Eggs will also feature raffle tickets. The raffle baskets will feature Easter-themed items such as reading, coloring and sticker books, as well as crayons, paint trays, colored pencils, games, candy, an egg coloring kit, and both a chocolate and stuffed bunny. Funds raised from the raffle will help offset the cost of the toys the Lions buy for the event. Smith says that the Lions hold the event each year as their way of supporting children. “The Lions do as much as they can for the youth of our community,” she said. “There’s not a lot of activities for kids in our area other than the beach and playground at the school. It’s something special for our local kids and visiting children to do during Easter.” Last year’s event attracted approximately 120 children, and Smith expects a similar showing again

Ariel Quartet to play March 25 concert as part of Neskowin Chamber Music series
T
he Ariel Quartet, which features four of the youngest performers ever to play at a Neskowin Chamber Music concert, will bring their talents to the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma for a 3 p.m. concert on Sunday, March 25. Although they are only in their late 20s, the quartet recently celebrated their 12th anniversary as a group. They last performed at Neskowin in 2014. Formed in Israel, the group, which is comprised of cellist Amit Even-Tov, and violinists Alexandra Kazovsky, Jan Gruning and Gershon Gerchikov, moved to the U.S. in 2004 so its members could continue their professional studies. All four attended the New England Conservatory’s prestigious Professional String Quartet Training Program and graduated in 2010. In 2014, the Ariel was named quartet-in- residence at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. The quartet has won a number of international prizes including the Grand Prize at the 2006 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and first prize at the “Franz Schubert and the Music of Modernity” in Graz, Austria in 2003. As well, the quartet recently won the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award. Ariel Quartet has toured extensively in Europe and the U.S. Highlights have included a performance at the Kennedy Center that featured music by three generations of Israeli composers. They made their Carnegie Hall debut in 2015. Kazovsky began playing the violin at the age of 6. Two years later, her family immigrated to Israel from Russia where she studied at the Rubin Conservatory and the Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem. She has performed as a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Yad Harif Chamber Orchestra. She has a bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and also graduated from its Professional String Quartet Studies program. She plays on a 1660 Jacob Steiner violin on loan from Yehuda Zisapel.

Even-Tov, who hails from Israel, started studying cello at the age of 6. She won first prize in a number of competitions in 2001 and 2002. After winning a Jerusalem Academy Competition in 2003, she made a solo appearance with the academy orchestra and conductor Ilan Schul, which led to an appearance with the Israel Stage Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra in a live broadcast on Israel Radio. She recently graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music Professional String Quartet Studies program. Born in Munich in 1984, Gruning followed private studies with principal violinists of both the Bavarian Radio Symphony and the Bavarian State Opera House by studying at the Musikhochschule Lubeck from 2002 to 2008. In September 2010, he enrolled in the New England Conservatory of Music from which he will receive his Masters degree later this year. Gruning has performed at various festivals and participated in master classes in both Europe and North America and played with other chamber groups. Gerchikov, also from Israel, began his violin studies at the age of 5. He continued his training at the Rubin Conservatory and the Academy of Music and Dance, both located in Jerusalem. While still living in Israel, he performed with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Yad Harif Chamber Orchestra, and the St. Petersburg Radio Orchestra. He received his Masters degree from the New England Conservatory of Music. Gerchikov plays on a Petrus Guameri violin on loan from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. The Ariel Quartet will offer a free mini-concert on Monday, March 26 at Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church in Pacific City at 9 a.m. Camp Winema is located three miles north of Neskowin just west of Highway 101. Individual tickets are available at the door for $25. For more information visit neskowinchambermusic.org or call 503-965-6499.

Court of Appeals invalidates Territorial Sea Plan amendments By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
I
n a unanimous March 9 opinion, the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that the Department of Land Conservation and Development overstepped their authority when they adopted amendments to Part 5 of Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan in October 2013. The ruling is in response to an appeal brought forth by co-petitioners David Yamamoto of Pacific City and Charles Ciecko of Neskowin. Newport attorney David Allen led the appeal effort. The appeal contended that the Land Conservation and Development Commission did not follow applicable rulemaking procedures in ORS 196.471 when it adopted its TSP amendments. In the March 9 decision, the court said they agreed and invalidated the amendments. Though there were several points of contention brought forth in the appeal which the court agreed with, the court noted that the adoption of recommendations that added restrictions to development in Oregon’s territorial sea, most notably directed at the construction of ocean energy projects, was of key importance. The issue is of particular relevance to the Pacific City and Neskowin areas because one of the areas that had been designated as a Renewable Energy Facility Suitability Study Area, a designation with the lowest development restrictions, was a 2.1-mile area near the Nestucca River. That particular area was not recommended as one of the sites favorable to development in Ocean Policy Advisory Council recommendations.
In its 2013 adoption of the rule change, the Commission adopted its own staff report, which was less restrictive than OPAC recommendations and included that site. At that time, the Commission also added a site in Reedsport to OPAC’s recommendation of three REFSSA sites, bringing the total to five sites with the least restrictive development standards. For its part, the Commission said that it “had the discretion to expand the REFSSA areas on a limited basis, so long as it could still make the findings required by ORS 196.471.” Further, in its 2013 adoption, the Commission had determined that the “OPAC REFSSA site recommendations (would) achieve a high level of protection for resources and uses, and specifically the protection of marine renewable resources over marine renewable energy development. However, the OPAC recommendations would limit the areas where marine renewable energy projects could site to an extent that is more protective than required by the applicable statutes.” In their defense of the appeal, the Commission argued that statute did not prohibit the agency from reviewing or considering other recommendations or prohibit the agency from adopting its own TSP modifications. But, ultimately, the Oregon Court of Appeals did not agree. “Even though DLCD is the state entity ‘designated (as) the primary agency for coordination of ocean resources,’ its relationship to OPAC is not one of simple hierarchy where the commission controls,” wrote the court. “Rather, the relationship involved is more complex, with DLCD
assisting OPAC, which in turn advises the commission. In sort, OPAC plays a critical role. OPAC developed the initial TSP, and it remains the primary means by which a large number of interest groups, as well as the local coastal communities, participate in the planning process.” Yamamoto, who now serves as Tillamook County Commissioner, said that he’s encouraged by the support of the court. “We were just pleased as punch that the court determined what they did,” he said. “I personally think the onus is now on the state to tell us how they plan on remedying this.” As of press time, the Sun’s call for comment to the LCDC Director Jim Rue had not been answered, possibly due to a previously scheduled two-day meeting of the Commission. “I guess it’s possible that the state could appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court, but this was a 3-0 decision,” Yamamoto told the Sun. “When you read the opinion, to me, that doesn’t leave any room for the state to maneuver. They were just found wrong (by the court) in the way they adopted the Part 5 amendment.” “It was an excellent result,” said Allen, who presented the oral arguments for the case. Though Allen said he has ideas on the best way forward for the state, he said he was not ready to go public with those as of press time. He will, however, share his thoughts when he appears in front of the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, who have scheduled Allen to speak at its March 28 meeting, which starts at 10 a.m. at Tillamook County Courthouse.
Airport support group to discuss goals, plans The Friends of Pacific City State Airport is holding a formative meeting on Monday, March 19, 5-6:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center during which the group plans to establish goals and plans to show its support for the airport. All are welcome to attend. Pacific City homeowner Robyn Holdman, who together with local resident Sally Rissel formed the new group, told the Sun that, after attending the most recent Oregon Department of Aviation board meeting, she learned that ODA would like to see improvements to the airport. And that’s a need she hopes the Friends of Pacific City State Airport can play a significant role in. “We need to understand what improvements (they need) and help them to the best of our ability,” she said. For more information about the Friends of the Pacific City State Airport and their upcoming meeting, call Holdman at 541-8152088 or email the organization at friendsofpacificcityairport@gmail.com.

The original Planning Commission meeting, which had been set for Feb, 15, was rescheduled over concerns of a “potential procedural notification error,” according to Sarah Absher, director
An interactive program designed to help those living with chronic pain will be held Wednesdays, April 4-May 9, 2-4:30 p.m. The purpose is to improve one’s ability to manage chronic pain and other symptoms day to day. Over the 6-week course, participants will learn different techniques and tools that have been tested and found to be helpful. Topics covered include: healthy eating, activity, pacing, difficult emotions, improving sleep, medication and more. The Chronic Pain Self-Management Program has been developed for people with a primary diagnosis of chronic pain which might include: musculoskeletal, (neck, shoulder, back pain, etc.), fibromyalgia, whiplash injuries, chronic regional pain, repetitive strain injury, post-surgical pain lasting six months or more, neuropathic pain or neuralgias, post-stroke or central pain. It may also be appropriate for those with persistent headaches, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel, muscular pain or multiple sclerosis. One new idea or concept may help you turn the corner and realize that you no longer have to let pain control your life. This is co-sponsored by NorthWest Senior & Disabilities Services and Tillamook Regional Medical Center and will be held at the Herald Center east of Adventist Church, 2710 First Street, Tillamook.

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 house, condominiums and apartments —would become an outright use if the current language is adopted. Currently a conditional use is required for these.

SOLVE SPRING OREGON BEACH CLEANUP is slated for Saturday, March 24 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Local area cleanup sites are Cape Kiwanda, Sand Lake, Neskowin Wayside and Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside. For more information or to register, visit solve.org.
Caring for the Coast SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup to target marine debris and litter during semi-annual clean-up on March 24
T
he march on litter will be on the move on Saturday, March 24 when Oregonians will once again take to the Oregon Coast for the SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup. From 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at 45 beach cleanup sites along the coast, volunteers are expected to remove tens of thousands of pounds of litter and marine debris during SOLVE’s twice annual cleanup, which is also supported by AAA Oregon. Within South Tillamook County, there are four locations to congregate – in Pacific City (meet next to the Pelican Pub & Brewery), at Sand Lake (meets at the Sand Lake OHV Riding Area), and in the Neskowin area (one spot meeting at the Neskowin Trading Company and the other at the Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside.) For more information and to see a list of cleanup sites, visit solveoregon.org. Participants should wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. All cleanup supplies will be provided. Volunteers who would like to help make the event more sustainable are encouraged to bring their own reusable bucket and work gloves. The most common items found during this event are broken pieces of plastic and cigarette butts, which are harmful to local wildlife. Another suggestion is to bring an old colander to sift the tide lines for these tiny pieces. SOLVE says that the home-grown tradition of cleaning up the state’s beaches in its twice-a-year statewide efforts benefits both people and wildlife as well as supports clean seas and healthy communities. Since 1984, more than 260,000 volunteers partici-

pating in SOLVE cleanups have removed 3.6 million pounds of debris from Oregon’s beaches. The debris comes in many forms, from the single bottle cap littered on the beach to a thousand-pound commercial fishing net. A recent study published in the journal Science indicates that about 8 million metric tons of plastic are entering the ocean globally each year, the equivalent of five bags of trash for every foot of coastline in the world. With this number on the rise, SOLVE says the impacts on the ocean and coastlines are high. “Thousands of pounds of marine debris, both from Oregon and across the Pacific basin, wash ashore on our iconic beaches each year, threatening the health of our wildlife and coastal communities,” said Joy Hawkins, SOLVE program manager. “While this is a worldwide problem, local citizens have the power to make a difference here on our own shores.” Those desiring to participate can register at one of 45 beach cleanup sites from Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria to Harris Beach in Brookings. For more information and to see a list of cleanup sites, visit solveoregon.org or call 503-844-9571 x332. SOLVE is a statewide non-profit organization that brings Oregonians together to improve the state’s environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Since 1969, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers of all ages across Oregon to clean and restore the state’s neighborhoods and natural areas, and to build a legacy of stewardship for the state.
