Contributor: Sally Rissel

By DOUG OLSON Guest Contributor In a recent issue of the Pacific City Sun, Daryl Jimmerson of Pacific City suggested several reasons why the newly created Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District for Pacific City and Neskowin should not be funded.

He urged voters to vote “no” at the upcoming election in May. Mr. Jimmerson is correct on several points. It is a newly created district. If funded as requested by Tillamook County, the tax base will continue indefinitely.

However, the record should be set straight on other points.

A full-time deputy sheriff costs Tillamook County (taxpayers) about $154,000 per year. That includes a mid-point salary of about $69,000 plus benefits including health insurance, matching taxes, retirement and more. It also includes uniforms, training, criminal equipment and a vehicle with all related costs which is spread over five years. As do many large organizations, Tillamook County imposes an indirect cost to all non-general fund departments and agencies of about 10 percent to pay for related costs such as legal services, payroll processing, human resources and more.

The total cost for two full-time deputies with all related costs will be about $330,000 per year. The projected budget for the new district will be $390,956 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017 based on the requested rate of $.58 per $1,000 of assessed valuation of real property within the district.

The difference, about $60,000, is contingency and operating capital. One must remember that no funds will be received by the county to fund the district until late in November each year. If the measure is successful, expenses will begin in July and must be funded.

Also, conservative budget practices recommend a modest contingency and ending cash balance each year.

As Mr. Jimmerson correctly points out, this is a new tax and may be a burden for some in our communities. However, as with all government services, it takes money. He also suggests that we currently have law enforcement coverage which should be adequate.

In addition, he further suggests that Pacific City and Neskowin taxpayers will end up subsidizing the rest of the county as the current deputies will be assigned elsewhere while we pay twice for coverage in our area.

There are no plans to change current service levels or reassign deputies currently assigned to South County. The two new deputies will live in or near the new district and will be in addition to what is currently provided. Any change to current coverage will be at the political and financial peril of Sheriff Andy

VOLUNTEERS are being sought for the Nestucca, Neskowin & Sand Lake Watershed Council’s March 25 cleanup at Nestucca Bay Estuary.

Doug Olson is a resident of Pacific City and is the Chair of the Tillamook County Budget Committee. He also serves on several other boards including Tillamook PUD, the Economic Development Council of Tillamook County, the Tillamook Regional Medical Center and the Pacific City – Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce.

TALKBACK Our crime problems

www.pacificcitysun.com

Long and our county commission. Moreover, there could be significant legal issues if the intent of the ballot measure were set aside and deputies assigned elsewhere.

As to what is adequate, that’s a question for each to answer for himself. In 2009, the Sheriff’s budget was $5.862 million with 53 full-time employees. In the current year, the total budget is $6.293 million with 47 full-time staff. The trend is going the wrong direction, especially considering growth and more visitor activity in the region. And it looks even worse over the next few years.

Both Tillamook County and the State of Oregon forecast significant budget issues down the road.

That means more reductions at both the state and county level including possibly state police. Indeed, Governor Brown’s current budget before the legislature eliminates 18 drug enforcement officers from the state police. And since Pacific City and Neskowin are not incorporated cities, we have few options for law enforcement besides the county and state.

So why not capitalize on the one bright spot, our Transient Lodging Tax, which is currently generating about $3 million per year after only three-plus years in existence?

Well, for starters, the county is keeping the legally permissible 30 percent and has applied nearly $3 million to our failing county road system. The remainder is subject to state law, which provides that it must be used exclusively for promotion of tourism and enhancement of tourist related facilities, both of which Tillamook County is doing.

It is not possible to direct funds from the TLT to law enforcement or other first responders under current state law. Efforts are being made to modify the law, but it’s a steep climb.

It should be remembered that tourist-related businesses will also pay a significant share of the required funding of the new district. Lodging facilities, restaurants, vacation rentals, gift shops, guide services and others will pay as well as homeowners.

If you favor local control and solving our own problems, you should consider a “yes” vote. If you prefer to sit around and wait for someone else to look after us, by all means vote “no” and go fishing.

So far, no one has found a way to repeal the most basic of economic laws that one gets what he pays for.

To the Editor: In response to a recent letter to the editor from Daryle Jimmerson regarding the spendy proposal of creating an Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District for Pacific City-Neskowin, I feel compelled to comment.

Although Mr. Jimmerson makes some good points and has some excellent alternative ideas on how we can fund this proposal, I would like to ask him and our residents to not base their decision on the fact that there is no crime to speak of in South Tillamook County.

The crimes I’m thinking of and know happen in our communities are crimes no one wants to talk about. The crime of rape, incest, sexual and physical abuse, child abuse and domestic violence are all crimes that women in particular have for too long had to be quiet

about for fear of ridicule, disbelief and shame. Please, don’t vote no because you think there are no visible crimes to speak of in our county, vote no, if you must, for some other reason.

Just because victims don’t want to share their stories doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I have served on the county jury and grand jury as well as been a victim of crime in South County, so I do know something of which I speak.

Recently, another suicide was committed on a nearby beach; this is not the first nor will it be the last. It took three days before county sheriffs were alerted to this tragedy and only because a regular resident noticed a vehicle parked on the beach for too long. Believe it or not, actual and attempted break-ins into full-time and part-time resident homes occur regularly as well as other reported and unreported thefts,

Page 2 • Pacific City SUN • March 17, 2017

burglaries and other drug-related activities.

Mr. Jimmerson should count himself lucky that neither he nor any member of his family have been a victim. I would hope that if a close relative, friend, sister, mother, daughter or wife were a victim of some crime that you would want a quick response rather than have to wait one to two hours for a sheriff to arrive from Tillamook.

I don’t want to paint an ugly picture of South County, but I do want residents to know the truth. Just because you don’t see crime happening in your neighborhood doesn’t mean it isn’t happening in your community.

By TIM HIRSCH Of the Sun The findings and recommendations of a housing market report were revealed and explained to South Tillamook County residents during a March 15 meeting at Pacific City’s Kiawanda Community Center, the first of four meetings held throughout the county.

Subsequent meetings were held in Tillamook and Manzanita later that day and on March 16.

As reported in the March 3 issue of the Sun, the market report, which was drafted by housing consultants czb LLC, revealed 10 recommendations for the county to undertake in its efforts to expand housing options along with a myriad of findings.

Findings revolved around Tillamook County’s two distinct elements — its mostly second home beach communities and the inland, more inexpensive housing serving the work force. The report noted that due to the financial benefit of renting out a vacation home, the market for both more affordable homes for the workforce and the availability of long-term rental properties is scarce.

The first course of action in the recommendations is to create and fund a housing coordinator position. “(This would be) someone who champions this effort,” said Thomas Eddington, vice president of czb LLC. “It can’t be just partly on the brains of a number of people. Somebody has to take accountability. It’s going to have to be their full-time job…to push the housing agenda in a way that realizes action.”

“There are tools out there for affordable housing, but it takes someone who knows all those tools who can work within our community to get projects on the ground,” added Erin Skaar, executive director of CARE. She added that there is a reason that neighboring Lincoln and Clatsop counties have made progress on developing more housing — they both have experts on the ground whose job is to spearhead the effort.

“Implementing work force housing is tough,” added Eddington. “People love it up front, (but) they don’t want it next door. (It) will take somebody that is willing to take all the tomatoes flying during (public) meetings.”

Commissioner Bill Baertlein, who was in attendance, said the county could enact a 1 percent new construction tax to fund the housing coordinator position. He estimates that such a tax would raise $300,000 a year.

“It’s an opportunity, and the commissioners are going to be looking at

that,” he said. “I think it would help immensely to have that person on the ground.”

A second recommendation is to adopt a housing plan. Eddington said that amongst the changes that could be made is to add “inclusionary” zoning — areas where new developments would be required to create a certain percentage of work force housing when erecting a new community. As an example, he noted that in Park City, Utah, where he lives, it’s required that two out of every 10 homes in new subdivisions must be affordable homes or work force housing.

Still, he noted that solution isn’t necessarily ideal for all areas.

“You have to selectively look at where you incorporate inclusionary zoning,” he said.

Additional recommendations were to increase density and to partner with local companies to create employerassisted housing.

“I know density can be bad (from some resident’s point of view), but it can work in some (neighborhoods),” Eddington said. “Your land is your costly asset. (Having a higher density) helps reduce the cost of housing.”

Creating a community land trust where the nonprofit entity would own the land and would deed restrict the amount that the houses built on it could be sold for or rented for as well as how much equity could be gained was another recommendation.

Other advice included developing creative ways to make system development charges — the cost to hook up to water, sewer and electricity — more affordable.

“System development charges can be a constraint to affordable housing,” Eddington said. “We can’t waive these, but if we can defer those (or) wrap them into a mortgage, we need to start looking at (that).”

He also targeted the Transient Lodging Tax saying that the work force that cleans motel rooms, for example, are part of the tourism economy and should be allowed a way to spend some of the $3 million that the county is getting each year. Currently, it is required that 70 percent of TLT dollars go to tourism marketing and promotion. County commissioners have already pledged the remaining 30 percent to road maintenance.

The report also suggests making sure buildable land has the needed infrastructure as well as taking a look at land outside the urban growth boundary.

ODFW announces free fishing days for April

Call for your appointment today!

Anglers and would-be anglers can enjoy a weekend of free fishing on April 22-23. On these two days, Oregonians and visitors can fish, crab and clam for free anywhere in Oregon without a license, tag or endorsement.

This free fishing weekend — as well as two other free fishing holidays Nov. 25 and 26 and Dec. 31-Jan. 1, 2018 — is in addition to the traditional free fishing weekend on June 3-4. These additional free fishing days are thanks to a 2015 law passed by the Oregon Leg-

islature allowing the Fish and Wildlife Commission to set up to eight days of free fishing every year.

“April 22 is also Earth Day, and what better way for Oregonians to get outside and celebrate the natural world than by taking family and friends out for a day of fishing,” said Mike Gauvin, ODFW recreational fishing manager.

While licenses are waived during free fishing days, all other regulations and regular closures still apply.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Board to consider candidates to replace retiring fire chief Kris Weiland at March 21 workshop

T

welve applicants — all with at least 10 years of experience — will compete for a chance to succeed current Fire Chief Kris Weiland as the next executive administrative officer of the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District.

The competing candidates hail from as far away as the East Coast and boast a variety of experience — some with larger districts and some at districts sized similar to NRFPD. As requested by the district board at its March 8 meeting, Weiland sent out a list of 12 supplemental questions to all candidates. The board will review both the resumes and the submitted answers to the supplemental questions during a workshop on March 21.

According to the District’s updated fire chief job description, the new chief will be expected to perform a variety of technical, administrative and supervisory work. Duties will include planning, staffing, budgeting, and planning for fire prevention. The chief will also be expected to respond to fire and EMS emergencies.

At its March 8 meeting, in the interest of speeding up the hiring process, the board followed board member John Emerson’s suggestion and shelved its original plan of having a workshop to decide which applicants to send supple-

mental questions to, instead electing to send the questions to all candidates.

As it now stands, they will consider all eligible applicants at the March 21 workshop.

“If we compress it (by sending out the supplemental question to everyone), we’d have applications and (the answers to the) supplemental (questions) all at one time and could make a decision (at the workshop) who we could phone interview,” said Emerson.

TBCC Foundation opens scholarships for 2017-18 Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation recently announced the opening of their 20172018 scholarships for current and prospective TBCC students. There is nearly $65,000 in scholarship support to award. Applications can be found at www.tillamookbaycc. edu under the paying for college tab.

Students have until May 15 to submit applications.

“Scholarships are a great way to pay for your education,” said Heidi Luquette, director of Development and College Advancement at TBCC. “We have a variety of scholarships available and our hope is to assist as many people as possible to go back and get their education.”

The TBCC Foundation is offering a few new scholarships this year, made possible by a variety of new donations. The Economic Development Council of Tillamook County is funding a $1,000 scholarship to encourage an entrepreneur to get their education and a $1,000 Alicia

“It’s exciting to see these new scholarships popping up as more and more people in our community see the value of supporting students and education,” Luquette said. “Big or small, a scholarship makes a difference to a student.”

Scholarships are awarded in May with funds dispersed in the fall. They help to cover tuition and other expenses over three terms. Unlike federal and private loans, scholarships do not have to be paid back. There is no limit to how many scholarships one student may apply for.

A Habitat Worth Improving Watershed Council to sponsor March 25 cleanup of Nestucca Bay Estuary

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

A

cleaner estuary is a healthier estuary — and one better able to sustain the sensitive ecosystem that supports the sea-going creatures that live there. It is with that in mind, the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watershed Council is once again sponsoring a cleanup of the Nestucca Bay Estuary on Saturday, March 25.

Held every other year, the cleanup seeks to rid the estuary of trash left by careless passerbys as well as the marine litter that is brought in thanks to storm surges. Since its inception in 2000, the effort has hauled away nearly 21,000 pounds. Two years ago, 36 volunteers collected 1,620 pounds. And a similar effort is hoped for this year.

Council coordinator Haley Blake, along with her predecessor Alex Sifford, have already done an initial surveying of part of the estuary to assess the task ahead.

“There’s a significant amount of trash,” said Blake. “There’s trash, recyclables and debris — various things that have cycled through our ocean and been deposited in our estuary.”

Those interested in volunteering for this year’s cleanup should meet at the Pacific City Boat Launch, which is located just south of Bob Straub State Park, at 8:30 a.m. The event is scheduled to run until noon. Participants should dress for a morning’s work. Boots are suggested as there will be significant walking through mucky conditions, as is rain gear if the weather looks iffy. The Watershed Council will be providing latex glove and disposable bags for garbage collection.

Participating partners in the cleanup include the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which is providing the bags, Grateful Bread, which is providing complimentary scones and Stimulus Espresso Café, which is donating coffee for participants. As well, the Tillamook County Parks Department is not charging participants the parking fee and the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department is waiving dump fees for the refuse collected.

In addition to collection by foot, the Council expects to have four or five boats roaming the bay to reach remote areas, as well as to provide a way to ferry collected debris from the shoreline to the meeting point at the boat ramp.

NESTUCCA BAY ESTUARY will get a sprucing up Saturday, March 25 when the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watershed Council sponsors a cleanup.

Volunteers are needed and should meet at the Pacific City Boat Launch, just south of Bob Straub State Park at 8:30 a.m.

The event is scheduled to run until noon. The Watershed Council will provide gloves and bags and partipants are urged to dress for the weather. For more information, call 503-965-2200.

“Boats really help us out by collecting trash and bringing it back to the boat launch,” Blake said.

She added that the importance of the cleanup lies not only in keeping the area looking appealing but in the effect that trash has on the ecosystem.

“All of (the debris) impacts water quality and all the different species that live and migrate in the estuary — including threatened species like Coho,” she said.

Haley also sees the event as an opportunity to bring attention to the work

of the Council.

“It’s a good time to bring folks into the Watershed Council and tell them what we do,” she said. “It pulls people in that might not come to our other events.

I look forward to the outreach opportunity that this will provide.”

For more information about the upcoming Nestucca Bay Cleanup, visit www.nestuccawaters.org or call 503-9652200. Those interested in volunteering a boat to help transport people and trash along the bay should email the Council at nnwc@nestuccawaters.org.

NEW MASTER RECYCLER GRADUATES (l-r) Allen Dial, Robyn Jolly, and Kevin Jolly stand alongside Solid Waste Advisory Committee member Clyde Zeller and Master Recycler graduate Karen Reddick-Yurka.

Master Recyclers make a difference February 2017 ended with a celebration of the completion of yet one more class of Tillamook County Master Recyclers. Three new students earned the title of Master Recycler, joining the ever-growing team.

Those most recently completing the course are Allen Dial, and Robyn and Kevin Jolly.

“I would encourage you to congratulate these people on their achievement and visit with them about they have learned during the course,” Owens said.

“It’s exciting to see people expressing enthusiastic interest in this program,” states Sue Owens, education and outreach coordinator for Tillamook County Solid Waste. “Even though we are only growing a few at a time, per capita we are doing very well with other counties that have large, robust programs. Our county now has over 20 people they can go to with recycling questions and concerns.”

Owens also notes that Master Recyclers have come from all areas of the County.

SAVE 35% or more “I’m excited to see people in our communities take an interest in this important subject and then take their

newfound knowledge home with them, to their families, friends, workplaces and neighborhoods.”

Students of the program learn to minimize the impacts of materials and learn strategies that encourage thoughtful consumption, the reduction of toxins and the recovery of our material resources. Aspects relating to local recycling efforts are also emphasized. In addition, first-time students were able to get hands-on exposure to Tillamook County’s new Styrofoam densifier. The class is taught by David McCall, program manager for the Tillamook County Solid Waste Program, as well as local experts.

The 20-hour Master Recycler course is free to Tillamook County residents and in exchange, asks for a 30-hour volunteer commitment to the Solid Waste Department and the message of recycling. Currently there are no more classes scheduled; however, Owens states there may be one in the fall.

For more information about becoming a Tillamook County Master Recycler, call Owens at 503-842-3419, ext. 3104 or visit www.co.tillamook.or.us/gov/solidwaste/.

Solid Waste Dept. delviers garden beds to South Prairie School for winning America Recycles Day competition Four new garden beds were delivered to South Prairie School on March 16 by Tillamook County Solid Waste staff — the garden beds were the award for collecting eight giant SuperSacks of plastics and Styrofoam for the annual America Recycles Day collection held last November.

“We hold this, or a similar collection every November,” said Sue Owens who coordinates the collection. “It’s our way to help schools earn things they want or need while raising awareness about recycling — all in the name of fun.”

Other schools who won garden

beds are Neskowin Valley (6), Nestucca Valley Early Learning Center (1), Tillamook Headstart (1), East Elementary (2) and Tillamook Jr. High (1), all of which can expect delivery of their prizes in the upcoming weeks.

“We are very supportive of our local schools and are open to conversations about other recycling educational ideas and possibilities, said David McCall, program manager for Tillamook County Solid Waste.

Cape beach access ramp project moves forward Tillamook County Public Works has announced that Elk Mountain Construction from Sandy, Oregon was the successful low bidder to construct the safety improvements at the Cape Kiwanda Beach and access ramp.

This project will improve the beach access and egress by adding a second lane to the boat ramp and a separate pedestrian access walkway on the south side, which, according to Public Works, will enable a much safer environment for tourists, local residents and emergency responders. The project also includes drainage improvements to stop erosion at the ramp’s end.

The current beach access, which is one-lane, repeatedly gets blocked by vehicles getting stuck at the base of the ramp. This in turn backs traffic up both on the beach and into the parking lot and subsequently on to Cape Kiwanda Drive. Added to this, pedestrian traffic also walks up the vehicle ramp making it a very unsafe, congested area.

Emergency responders participated in Cape Kiwanda planning and safety meetings to address public safety issues at Cape Kiwanda County Park.

This group grew to include a large number of stakeholders who have been meeting to develop ideas to enhance and improve the user experience and safety around Cape Kiwanda. This diverse group includes the Tillamook County Commissioners, Pacific City Doryman’s Association, Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee, Tillamook Sheriff’s Department,

Volunteers needed for environmental work in Tillamook on March 18 The Nature Conservancy is inviting anyone interested in preserving the Tillamook area to participate in a volunteer work party taking place on Saturday, March 18.

For this work party, The Nature Conservancy has joined with Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership. NORP, a program of the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, coordinates the grow-out of locally adapted native plant species for restoration efforts in eight counties in northwest Oregon. The Nature Conservancy is one of 30 different organizations participating in the NORP program. Recent TNC habitat restoration projects that are using NORP plant materials include the Miami Wetlands and Kilchis Preserve in Tillamook County. Volunteers will be helping with nursery work — propagating, repotting and weeding around native plants. No experience is necessary.

Participants should bring enough water and food for the day, along with weather appropriate clothing as work will be done in a covered, unheated building. Workers can also bring hand clippers and gloves if they have them — or can borrow from the Nature Conservancy, if necessary.

Registration is required at nature.org/oregonworkparties. For more information, call 503-8028100.

WORKERS from Elk Mountain Construction set about installing a temporary beach access lane in advance of building a new two-lane beach access ramp.

Tillamook Public Works, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, Tillamook County Parks, Oregon State Parks, and a number of interested community members.

The County will administer the construction contract. Public Works anticipates the construction will take approximately 75 days to complete. The contractor will be building a temporary bypass to allow access to the temporary one-lane access during construction.

Marking the temporary bypass will be a

sign that will read: “Temporary Onelane Beach Vehicle Access, Use with Caution, Info: 503-842-3419.”

A State Parks Ranger will be present during spring break and sporadically during construction. Public Works will also monitor this situation. If there are problems, then the temporary ramp may be closed except for emergency services and for the Dory Fleet’s use as originally planned.

For more information, call 503842-3419.

SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup set for Saturday, April 1

I

t’s no April Fool’s joke — on Saturday, April 1, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Oregonians will mobilize along the entire Oregon Coast to remove tens of thousands of pounds of litter and marine debris washed in from winter storms. Presented by AAA Oregon, the SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup welcomes families, schools, business groups, and volunteers of all ages to join together in cleaning Oregon’s beaches.

Every spring and fall, volunteers from across Oregon head to the beach as part of SOLVE’s twice-annual, coast-wide cleanups. According to SOLVE, this homegrown tradition has benefited people and wildlife alike, supporting clean seas and healthy communities. This year’s event marks the 50th Anniversary of the Oregon Beach Bill, which granted public recreational access to beaches along all 362 miles of coastline. This landmark piece of legislation has contributed to what makes Oregon such a unique place to live and visit. Join SOLVE on April 1 to commemorate 50 years of public beaches and help protect the coast for present and future generations.

To take part, participants can register at one of 45 beach cleanup sites from Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria to Harris Beach in Brookings. Within South Tillamook County, there are 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, please visit www.solveoregon.org.

Since 1984, more than 250,000 volunteers have removed 3.5 million pounds of debris from Oregon’s beaches in this effort. This 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, the impacts on the ocean and coastlines are reportedly 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, program coordinator for SOLVE. “While this is a worldwide problem, local citizens have the power to make a difference here on our own shores.”

Participants are advised to 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. It would also be helpful to bring an old colander to sift the tide lines for these tiny pieces.

SOLVE is a statewide non-profit organization that brings Oregonians together to improve the 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, with the goal of building a legacy of stewardship for Oregon.

A Resounding Chamber

T

he Adaskin String Trio, with Thomas Gallant, oboist, will make its Neskowin Chamber Music debut on Sunday, March 26 at 3 p.m. at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. Founded in 1994, the trio has performed extensively all over the United States and Canada, in such venues as the Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and in Los Angeles, Boston, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Santa Barbara, and Chicago. Their concerts have also been broadcast regularly on CBC Radio, Radio-Canada, and National Public Radio. Their repertoire includes everything from works by Beethoven and Mozart to Dohnyl, Rozsa, and VillaLobos.

The trio is named in honor of Murray Adaskin, one of Canada’s most beloved and respected composers, and his two brothers, violinist Harry Adaskin and producer and music educator John Adaskin. The members of the trio met in Montreal where they each studied chamber music with cellist Marcel Saint-Cyr, a founder of the Oxford Quartet. Members include violinis Emlyn Ngal, violist Steve Larson, cellist Mark Fraser and oboist Thomas Gallant.

Ngal is currently on the faculty for violin and early music at the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

He holds degrees from McGill University, Oberlin College Conservatory, and Hartt. He is also a principal member in Apollo’s Fire, the Carmel Bach Festival Orchestra, and Tempesta do Mare.

Larson is professor of viola and

chair for strings at The Hartt School.

He is currently a member of the Avery Ensemble, and has performed as a guest artist with the Emerson, Miami, Arthur-Leblanc, and Penderecki String Quartets.

Fraser hold degrees from McGill University, the University of Montreal, and the Hartt School. For many years he was the artistic director of Project Renaissance, an arts festival near Montreal. He has also taught cello at the Connecticut Conservatory of the Performing Arts.

Gallant often plays with the Adaskin String Trio and will be on the stage for the Neskowin concert. He is one of the world’s few virtuoso solo and chamber music performers on the oboe. Gallant is a first-place winner of the Concert Artists Guild International New York Competition. After studying at the Indiana University School of Music, he performed with the New Orleans Symphony and the Santa Fe Opera orchestra. He plays an Evoluzione oboe made by the Italian maker Fratelli Patricola.

He is also the agent for this and many other groups.

An outreach program will be presented at the Presbyterian Church in Pacific City on March 27th at 9 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.

To order season tickets, priced at $110, call 503-965-6499. Tickets at the door are $25. More information is available on the Neskowin website, www. neskowinchambermusic.org. Camp Winema is located three miles north of Neskowin just off Highway 101.

here’s a new pilot at the helm of Pacific City Gallery. The longstanding gallery reopened on March 4 under the ownership of Laura Schlaht, who says she’s eager to bring in the work of more and more local artists as well as wares handmade by local craftspeople.

Hailing from Sandy, Oregon, where she lived for 25 years, Schlaht says opening a gallery is a longtime dream of hers and that she looks forward to providing a space where art lovers can find a piece to add to their collection.

Amongst the artists featured at the gallery are glass artists Dennis Peterson and Teri and John Benefiel and painters Deb Justice and Tammy Hayes.

Schlaht’s own work is also at the gallery. She is a colored pencil artist who got involved in that medium following the passing of her two-year-old son. Following that tragic incident, which was 20 years ago, she drew a colored pencil rendition of her beloved son and has done the same for several

others who have lost loved ones.

The gallery will feature a selection of gifts that will cater to the tourist looking to take a little bit of the beach home with them.

Filling the bright and classy gallery are a selection of oil painting prints, a number of glass art pieces like plates and floats, and an abundance of handmade jewelry.

As well, the gallery features a gift shop laden with home décor. And there’s more to come.

“I’m hoping to get more of a variety of artists,” Schlaht said. “My hope is to (offer) more handmade beach-themed items like driftwood and things you might put in a beach house. We’re getting more handmade jewelry in by local artists.”

A final component of the gallery is a glass shop in the back room looking for something for their recreational (and medicinal) use.

Located at 35350 Brooten Rd., Pacific City Gallery is open Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information, call 503-965-7181.

DAFFODILS are one of our first signs of spring here in Tillamook County. Even with our lack of sunshine this winter, they are showing their color along roadsides everywhere. There is a wonderful display along Slab Creek Road in Neskowin.

When you see a little groupings of daffodils with nothing around it, it is often a sign of where early settlers planted flowers near their homesteads. This group of daffodils was planted by Clara Love in the 1930s along Resort Drive south of Cloverdale. She and her husband Virgil were dairy farmers there.
