Setting the Record Straight Sheriff explains interworkings of proposed Enhanced Patrol

By ANDY LONG Tillamook County Sheriff During the past few years, I’ve attended many community meetings in both Pacific City and in Neskowin, all of which have included discussions regarding public safety. These discussions also included a range of possible solutions, such as private security, incorporation to include a city police department, incorporation with a contract with the Sheriff’s Office (similar to Garibaldi), and an Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District (ESPD).

From those ideas the most popular and feasible has been the ESPD. The proposed ESPD is a defined geographic area incorporating Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary District, and the Neskowin Regional Water District. These locations have a more dense population, and have experienced a significant increase in tourism in recent years. Calls for service for all first responders, including law enforcement services, have also increased dramatically. Citizens in both Neskowin and Pacific City have expressed concern about the population and tourism growth during the tourist season, which is quickly expanding from the traditional summer months to now include winter and early spring. Essentially, the tourism season is now nearly a year-round experience.

Many citizens credit the Transient Lodging Tax (TLT), and the subsequent advertising and promotion of the off-season, for these increases. I should mention that state law restricts what the TLT monies can be spent on, and the hiring of first responders does not fall within these restrictions.

A previous legislative attempt to change the TLT restrictions has failed.

The TLT manager has reported significant increases in hotel/motel lodging. With this rise in popularity comes an increase in 911 emergency and non-emergency calls, including theft complaints, vehicle break-ins at boat ramps and parking lots, DUII, home burglaries (mostly second homes or vacation properties), mental health response, tourist vehicles parked on private property, fireworks complaints, death investigations, serious assaults, and one assault that was classified as a hate crime. The limited resources of the Sheriff’s Office has changed the posture of law enforcement patrols county-wide from an emergency response and crime prevention patrol to purely a response for service mode. The latter created a situation where calls are prioritized and responded to, but proactive law enforcement no longer occurs. This can result in quality of life issues for the community, and, in time, only perpetuates the need for more law enforcement.

Pacific City, Woods and Neskowin have transitioned to a tourism-based economy, and, whether we like it or not, there is an expectation to protect. Tort liability becomes a problem when services decline to a level that does not meet the public’s basic expectations. Emergency medical and fire personnel waiting 20 minutes for a deputy to arrive to make a scene safe for entry is a good example of failing to provide a basic level of service.

Sheriff’s Office staffing, due to budget constraints, has not been increased since 1990. Rural Oregon counties, especially land trust counties like Tillamook County, have enjoyed low taxes relative to the rest of Oregon due to supplemental funds from timber harvest in the state forest combining with the county’s general fund.

With federal and state timber revenues declining, Tillamook County services have also declined. Past ballot measures such as Measure 5, Measure 47, and Measure 50 have impacted rural Oregon differently than urban areas. When land trust counties revenues decline, these laws restricted counties from increasing taxes to meet the

Page 2 • Pacific City SUN • April 14, 2017

revenues lost.

The ESPD tax base proposed would be a permanently funded district, rather than a three- or five-year operating levy.

There are several good reasons for a permanent tax rate. Hiring and training a certified deputy is a considerable investment, in both time and public funds. In Oregon, it’s estimated to cost in excess of $100,000 to train a police officer, not including the vehicle and equipment. All across Oregon, sheriffs and police chiefs are struggling with recruitment, hiring and retention. This is especially challenging in rural areas that typically have lower wages. As with any potential employee, if a police officer feels that funding for his or her job may go away within a few years, as it could with a levy, that person often looks for a position elsewhere which has more stable funding. Many police agencies are so desperate they are now offering hiring bonuses along with other incentives to attract applicants. It’s important to make the ESPD positions attractive when hiring to help retain the district’s investment.

My goal as sheriff is to hire and train local people that want to work in our community for the long term. A short-term operating levy does not convey a longterm commitment.

Residents who live within the ESPD will have the opportunity for local oversight. The ESPD will have a citizen advisory committee. This committee will work with the sheriff and the ESPD deputies to undertake the process of establishing the ESPD, and provide continued input into ESPD management, meeting monthly or quarterly as needed.

The ESPD will have two deputies assigned to these districts. Deputies hired would be required to live in (or within a few miles of the District) and be subject to “call out,” increasing the hours of patrol and dramatically decreasing the emergency response time. Two Deputies would not provide a 24-hour patrol, but overtime was budgeted into the proposal.

The ESPD would not change the current level of patrol funded by the general fund. The ESPD will not subsidize the rest of the unincorporated county patrol area.

The current staffing for a 24-hour period is two deputies assigned to 10-hour shifts, covering 20 hours, and will remain the same. Due to the size of Tillamook County (nearly 70 miles of coastline and 1300-plus square miles), emergency response times can be as little as a few minutes (if they are nearby), or as long as 40 minutes if a deputy is located elsewhere in the county or busy assisting another officer or working another call. At times there is only one deputy assigned to the north county area and one to the south. The ESPD deputy and the deputy assigned to South County will work together on emergency calls, especially calls that include risk to the deputies with a need for backup. The ESPD will also provide safety for the citizens, visitors and first responders.

Our fiscal reality is that Tillamook County’s general fund has not increased in more than a decade. Instead, it has been reduced nearly every year since the Tillamook State Timber forest revenue has decreased while calls for service, population (both permanent and transient) and community need have all increased.

Many county government positions have gone unfilled, including positions at the Sheriff’s Office as a result of the decrease in revenue. I, like many others, think the Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District is the best solution to address the growing community public safety needs within this proposed ESPD district’s area.

Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long has lived in Tillamook County since 1986 and moved to Pacific City in 2005. Recently elected to a second term, Long has 26 years of experience at the Sheriff ’s Office.

Relay on the Route?

Organizers mull bringing shorter and smaller Hood To Coast Relay to Pacific City

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

P

acific City could be the finishing spot for a new, but shorter, Hood To Coast relay race if event planners get their way. Organizers are seeking to add a series of smaller events, each featuring a number of six-person teams.

And Pacific City’s beach at Cape Kiwanda is on the short list.

Already, Hood To Coast has launched a similar event that finishes at Seabrook, Washington, as well as one in China.

The proposed date for the Pacific City offshoot of Hood To Coast is May 8, 2018.

The event organizer, which is the same group that organizes Reach the Beach, started its effort to gauge the support for such a new event by reaching out to Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce board member Jeremy Strober, who also serves as president of Kiwanda Hospitality, and asked him to get input from the Chamber.

“This is just a proposed event,” echoed Strober during the April 4 Chamber meeting. “What the event organizers have asked me to do is to ask for our opinions as to whether this would be a welcome event, whether this would be a good thing for Pacific City or whether we have concerns or consideration that we would like to communicate to them (about).”

He said it also offers a chance to bring more people here during a weekend that isn’t as busy as some and without having to do the work to put on a new event.

Though the event was originally pitched as featuring 350 six-person teams, Hood to Coast Race Series Chief Operating Officer Dan Floyd later told the Sun that the target is now 250.

“If we are to hold a relay that ends in Pacific City, it would be roughly onefifteenth the size of the current Hood To Coast that finishes in Seaside,” he said.

“Rather than nearly 3,000 vehicles that are utilized for the Hood To Coast event that finishes in Seaside, our new concept would put about 250 vehicles on the road over a 12-hour period. Both vehicle and pedestrian traffic would be minimal. Our goal for all of our concepts would be to drive additional tourism and dollars to local communities. It’s way early for us to know further details, but this is a concept that we would love to pursue.”

“From my personal perspective, if this is a welcome event, (the weekend of May 8) is a relatively quiet shoulder season weekend,” Strober told Chamber members. “This event may create more attention for Pacific City and bring more people (here) that haven’t experienced us before. It’s an opportunity for us to bring an event to Pacific City without us putting it on. However, (it would be) impactful.”

Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long expressed his reservations about the idea — given that it would be held at the Cape — saying that there is very little shoulder season once spring break rolls around — particularly if Willamette Valley weather reports promise sunshine. He also reiterated his resolution not to sign off on any permits for any new events at the Cape.

“That’s something they can start off knowing — that they wouldn’t have the parking lot,” he said. “We can give them other options, but I think we have to stick with (not permitting new events).”

He added that even in the case of grandfathered in events such as Reach the Beach, the Sheriff’s Department is

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • April 14, 2017

working to lessen the impact.

“The ones that are already grandfathered in, they can keep doing, but we’re also trying to modify those events if we (can) so they (aren’t) taking as many parking spaces or making the traffic circulation any worse,” he said. “When something new comes, we’re going to make it pretty tough and make sure we’re not making this area even more of an abuse to the locals. Probably, we need to look at landing at a different location than this parking lot.”

While the proposed event is much smaller that Hood To Coast, a large race that is known as the “Mother of All Relay Races ” that also brings 20,000 participants making the trek from Mt. Hood to Seaside, some Chamber members wondered if Hood to Coast’s definition of small, just might be different than that of the residents here.

Resident Anne Price said that her concern is the same that’s been voiced in recent community meetings — that events need to move away from the Cape because of overcrowding.

“Anything that we would add (to the congestion already there) is just going to exacerbate (the problem),” she said.

“I think those are all great ideas,” responded Strober. “What I appreciate is the spirit of expressing our concerns and what we would need (to do) in order to make this event palatable. I think that (with them) giving us notice 13 months in advance, it gives us that time (to address the concerns). I think we all benefit when we create an event or welcome an event that doesn’t impact us negatively.”

Though at the time of the general meeting, the Board had not discussed it as a group, they tackled the matter at their own meeting. According to Chamber President Verne Mobley, the group worried that adding an event as proposed wouldn’t be best for the community given the amount of traffic the area already attracts. Still, he said that the intent wasn’t necessarily to totally discourage the event — just the location, particularly the parking lot.

“I don’t know that we’re going to totally (discourage) it because it is a deal that would bring a lot of people to town willing to spend money so we kind of have to look at that,” Mobley said.

And Strober later added that while he loves the idea of new events being created — especially when they don’t require tapping into the area’s existing volunteer base — he also recognizes that events have to make sense for Pacific City and its residents.

“Events help our community businesses survive in the shoulder and off seasons,” he said. “The right events operated in the right ways can be really good for us, (but) the wrong events done in the wrong ways can be negative for us. My hope is we can provide new partners for events that make sense for our community.”

According to Hood to Coast Race Series director of operations Ross Hubber, the organization is willing to work with the community to come up with an event that fits.

“We’re interested in working with the Chamber to alleviate any concerns and figure out if there’s a way we can make it happen,” he said. “Obviously, nothing will happen if we don’t have approval from the Chamber and the county.”

To that end, Hubber said he is planning on meeting with representatives from both the Tillamook Sheriff’s Department and the Pelican Pub.

NEWS&COMMUNITY OHA seeks public input on which Oregon beaches the public wants monitored in 2017 The Oregon Health Authority’s Beach Monitoring Program invites public comment on a list of beaches it is proposing to monitor this summer.

The program works with the Department of Environmental Quality to determine beaches that need monitoring based on several established criteria. These criteria include pollution hazards present, previous beach monitoring data that identify water quality concerns, type and amount of beach use, and public input.

OHA routinely re-evaluates beaches and sampling locations to ensure available resources best protect public health. Based on the program’s evaluation criteria, the proposed beaches for the 2017 monitoring season in Tillamook County are Short Sand State Park Beach, Rockaway Beach, Twin Rocks Beach and Neskowin State Park Beach. In Lincoln County, the beaches proposed to be monitored are D River State Park Beach, Beverly Beach, Agate State Park Beach, Nye Beach and Seal Rock State Park Beach. Additional beaches being recommended for the program are Clatsop County’s Seaside

Beach, Cannon Beach, and Tolovana State Park Beach; Coos County’s Bastendorff Beach and Sunset Bay State Park Beach, Curry County’s Nubbard Creek Beach, Harris Beach State Park, and Crissey Field State Park, as well as Heceta Beach in Lane County.

The proposed list includes some of the most frequently visited beaches in Oregon, as well as beaches where the program has found bacteria present, or beaches for which local partners and the public have requested monitoring due to potential pollution concerns.

“We do our best to align program resources to monitor as many beaches as possible,” said Tara Chetock, program coordinator. “However, with more than 360 miles of coastline, more than 90 beaches and just one full-time sampling technician, we cannot monitor them all.”

OHA will accept public comments and suggestions on the proposed 2017 beaches through May 8. Comments can be submitted by email at beach. health@state.or.us or by calling 971673-0400.

Pacific City-Woods CAC to meet on April 15 The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee will meet on Saturday, April 15 at 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, to discuss a range of issues including the annual CAC/Tillamook Board of Commissioners meeting and the Pacific City 20/30/40 Plan. Additional agenda items include updates

Election ballots to be mailed on April 26 Ballots will be mailed on April 26 for the upcoming special election in which Pacific City and Neskowin voters will be deciding on whether to approve an Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District within the boundaries of the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority and the Neskowin Water District.

Other issues on the ballot include the re-authorization of a five-year Tillamook County Library bond and a request to remove the Hills of Neskowin subdivision from the Neskowin Regional Sanitary Authority.

The voter registration deadline is April 25. The last day to mail back ballots will be May 11 and the last day to leave them at drop boxes is May 16. Results will be certified by June 5.

TALKBACK Support for the ESPD To the Editor: I am voting for ESPD. Yes it will cost, but if a sheriff is needed in our area for a problem/accident I would like the sheriff to be here sooner than later. Time from Tillamook, versus the sheriff locally is a no brainer.

fter nearly seven years of service, South Tillamook County librarian Theresa Roberts is ready to take her final bow and the community is invited to thank her for her service during an open house on Friday, Apil 28, noon-5 p.m. at the library.

The celebratory event will feature complimentary refreshments and plenty of time to greet the always friendly Roberts with a smile and a wish for good luck in the future.

After 16 years working in school libraries at Newberg School District and Nestucca Valley School District — the last six at Nestucca — Roberts came to the Tillamook County library system in October 2010 eager to check off one more item on her bucket list. Following a year’s worth of being mentored, she took over the reins at Pacific City’s library.

“I’ve always wanted to work for a (public) library,” she says. “I was really excited when the opportunity arose.”

She pointed to her experience in schools as pivotal to gaining a quick understanding of the library’s needs, noting that she was able to apply lessons learned during her tenure in public schools.

Her contributions to South Tillamook County Library have been many.

Together with her team, she helped introduce many new programs including the “Mother Goose” weekly story time for children, a revitalized teen program, and, most recently, an adult program.

“I’m glad we were able to develop the teen program here,” Roberts says.

“I wanted a good safe place that teens could come to that’s supervised because there’s nothing else for teens to do in Pacific City.”

Adding programs, though, was just a part of what Roberts has done to keep the library humming. She has also been tasked with a lot of research, meaning she’s done everything from finding obscure books for patrons to selecting books for the libraries. Roberts also has been responsible for making sure that everything is up to date and that that the

Page 6 • Pacific City SUN • April 14, 2017

library has what people are looking for.

“We’re trying to meet the community’s needs,” she says. “We’ve done a lot of things since I came here. We’ve added art, a computer and fish tank in the children’s room and more space for young teens.”

She counts amongst the biggest thing she’s learned during her tenure here is just how “wonderful” the people in this community are.

“I made some really wonderful friends here, and we shared a lot over the counter,” she says. “I’m going to miss that a lot. That’s what made me realize that the library is more than about books. It’s about the people.”

Roberts also points to her time with the youth of the community as a highlight.

“I loved working with the kids the most,” she says. “It’s wonderful when they come in the library — particularly the babies — and they want you to read to them. When little kids come in and they’re excited to be in the library and you’re helping them to find books to read, that has to be the most rewarding part — to see that you’re creating new readers that love books. I just feel that babies being exposed to literature is so important because it helps them be better readers and it develops a close relationship with their parent or caregiver who comes with them.”

Though she’s retiring as full-time librarian, she doesn’t plan on being a stranger. For the next year or two, she plans to fill in as a paid retiree at both the Pacific City and Tillamook main branch. Roberts says she’ll also fill her time volunteering for the school district and developing her art and writing skills.

“I hope the community sees how much this library is used and how important it is,” she says. “If I can leave knowing people understand how much it is used and how important all the things we’ve done are — especially for children and teens — then I feel like we did a good job.”

South Tillamook County Library is located at 6200 Camp St., Pacific City.

Water Rescue Summit begins new chapter in agency cooperation

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun A coast-wide Water Rescue Summit and Roundtable held March 30-31 in Florence is expected to pay big dividends, according to Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland.

He said amongst the biggest issues tackled during the two-day event was the need for better communication and cooperation between related agencies.

“The most important part (of the summit) is that we brought all these folks together to talk and to learn about each other,” he told the Sun. And, as it turns out, many of the agencies looked to Tillamook County — and its Coastal Action Response Plan — for inspiration when it comes to working together. Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long, who also participated in the Summit, said that it was because of this cooperative agreement that the Coast Guard admitted that

they do better with Tillamook County and its first responders than they do with the county they live in.

“I was very proud of that,” Long said. “Every time something came up, everyone’s heads were turned to Tillamook County and (they asked) ‘What are you guys doing?’”

Weiland said that it was suggested that such a plan, which involves agreement between the sheriff and police departments and the Coast Guard, could be crafted for the entire coastline. Specifically, he said that spelling out responsibilities and the jurisdiction lines would be beneficial for all agencies. He said that was a proposal that was well received but would require a significant amount of work.

A specific idea mentioned by the Coast Guard during the meeting was that of adding lifeguard stations to Oregon beaches.

“You go to the East Coast or down to California and you have lifeguard stations out along the coast,” re-

counted Weiland. “There’s an idea, but, again, it comes down to funding. Who is able going to be able to support it?”

Another topic that came to the surface, said Weiland, was the importance of education. He said there is a need to teach people about the coast before they get here.

“That was one of our top subjects,” he explained. “We talked about different groups that can reach out to communities outside the coast for education on what you do when you get to the coast so that you can have a good time but also be safe. We have so many different dynamics (that people need to be careful of ). You’ve got the ocean, the bays, the rivers and then the area in between at the mouths of the rivers and ocean. There are some areas that are just too dangerous for anybody to get through.”

Weiland said he hopes the Summit will become an annual event that will usher in greater cooperation and understanding between agencies.

Wet weather dampens progress on new beach access lanes at Cape Kiwanda

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Have you had enough rain yet? One group that is certain to answer a big yes to that question is the contractors assigned to improve the access ramp at Cape Kiwanda.

Because of the amount of rain the area has seen, the building of the new Transient Lodging Tax funded two lane vehicle ramp and pedestrian walkway has had weather delays. Still, progress has been made with the initial concrete pour taking place on April 6.

“The challenge we’ve had is that there’s been so much rain that we’ve had a lot of water to deal with,” said Liane Welch, Tillamook County Public Works director.

THE CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS started planting Holland grass in Pacific City to stabilize shifing sand dunes in 1950.

Timeline tells the story of the community

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun The story of how the South Tillamook County area grew to what it is today is filled with many milestones throughout its long history. Below is a partial list of just some of the important events that have paved the way.

In 1876, Chief Nestugga and his last small tribe were forced to Salmon River Reservation. They ended up on Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations.

By 1884, the Town of Woods was the main trading center in South Tillamook County. It had a general store, drug store, I.O.O.F. and Rebecca Lodge, as well as a sawmill, cabinet shop, photography studio, post office and two weekly newspapers. That same year, the Sea View House Hotel (Edmunds Hotel) was built between Ferry Street and Spring Street.

What eventually became Pacific City got on the map in 1883 when Thomas Malaney platted the town of Ocean Park.

Thrree years later, in 1886, a cannery was built on the mouth of the Nestucca River and the Neskowin Post Office, which was first called Slab Creek Post Office, was established. In 1899, Charles Ray developed Cloverdale and established a post office there. Pacific City got its first post office in 1909 when the original name of Ocean Park was changed to Pacific City. The following year, in 1910, James Walton platted Neskowin.

In 1912, the Hurliman family moved to Woods from Switzerland.

The first foot bridge over the Nestucca River, built near the present bridge, was erected in 1916. Prior to that, residents had to use a hand-operated ferry to get to the beach. That same year, Ralph Wortman built the first house on McMinnville Heights (Hill Road).

In 1920, H.H. Brooten discovered kelp ore. He also built a sanitarium and a resort that attracted people from all over

the world. It closed in 1933. Another 1920 milestone was the construction of a grass strip airport in Pacific City.

In 1924, Walt Fisher started his mink farm in Woods and, in 1928, the Kiwanda Hotel was built. In 1930, the construction of Brooten Road was completed. At that time, depression brought a decline in the

Several important accomplishments happened in 1950 including the CCC starting the process of planting Holland grass on shifting dunes to stabilize them and the paving of the airport, which was dedicated as Pacific City State Airport. Another highlight of 1950 was the building of a road that stretched from the bridge to Cape Kiwanda.

In 1960, Pacific City’s dory fleet numbered 600 boats and was serviced by five boat builders. That same year, Sand Lake junction to Woods Road was constructed.

Pacific City Heights was developed in the 1970s. In 1973, Neskowin Valley School was established and Barney McPhillips donated the land of Cape Kiwanda to Oregon State Parks. In the 1980s, there was a drastic reduction in salmon harvest as well as dory boat fishing decline. And in the 1990s, the library and Kiawanda Community Center were built.

Pelican Brewing Company’s new Imperial Stout Ale blows in as next release in barrel-aged beer series

P

elican Brewing Company is continuing its barrel-aged craft beer series with the release of Father of All Tsunamis, an Imperial Stout Ale aged in rye whiskey barrels. While brewers say that one-upping Pelican’s popular core brew Tsunami Stout is no easy task, they believe they may have come close — the new beer features even more stout character in the new Imperial version.

Full of rich roasted flavors reminiscent of dark chocolate and espresso, “Father” takes things one step further with aging in Rye whiskey barrels. With layers of spiciness, vanilla and caramel coming from these barrels, the Imperial Stout is hailed for a richness and balance beyond any stout ever created at Pelican before now.

Ingredients include pale malt, malted white wheat, Midnight Wheat malt, Black Prinz malt, pure cane sugar, Magnum hops, Willamette hops, pure local water, and pure ale yeast.

“Ever since we started doing barrel-aged beers we’ve had this idea that if we put Tsunami in whiskey barrels it would make for a completely fantastic beer — this is the first Imperial Stout Pelican has ever made and we cannot wait to share it,” says Darron Welch, founding brewmaster, Pelican Brewing Company. “Father’s recipe was created specifically for our new barrel-aged series — a stout black color, dark chocolate, coffee-like roastiness combine with the inherent spiciness of the rye to make a pretty darn special beer.”

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 that offers additional capacity for such experimentation.

Like all Pelican beers, Father of All Tsunamis is born at the beach by a team of award-winning craft beer makers known for brewing styles of beer that they themselves love to drink.
