talkback In support of Schwend To the Editor: Tillamook County is fortunate to have six candidates running for county commissioner, each with their own strengths and expertise that they offer. Adam Schwend, however, stands out as the most qualified.

I’ve known Adam for five years and have been able to work with him on dozens of occasions. Each time, I found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, a passionate fighter for what he believes is right, willing to think outside of the box to find solutions to the most complex problems and never deterred by any challenge. As president of the Tillamook County Board of Realtors, Adam was one of the chief petitioners in fighting off a new tax on building, which would have exacerbated our housing shortage. He firmly believes in common sense solutions to problems and works with everyone affected to make sure all parties give input and come to a solution that has buy-in from all parties.

Most importantly, Adam understands housing, which is the biggest issue we’re facing. No other candidate has the professional experience, the practical knowledge or the experience in creating housing policy that Adam does. We need a commissioner who is going to have those experiences from the very beginning, who doesn’t need to start from the ground floor learning about these issues and who can begin making a difference on his first day. Adam is ready to get to work on the biggest challenges that Tillamook County faces. I hope you’ll join me in voting for Adam Schwend to be our next county commissioner.

Great schools make great communities To the Editor: After a lengthy long-range planning process involving more than two dozen community members, Nestucca Valley School District is putting before South County voters a bond measure that will finance a school renovation/construction project. If passed, the measure will finance improvements to include making Nestucca Valley Elementary School a K-8 school (7-8 students will move from the high school building to the elementary school, freeing up the high school space for its intended 9-12 students).

The State of Oregon has awarded the District a $4 million matching grant, which the District will receive only if the bond measure passes. The project cost is $29,700,000. However, if the measure passes, the state grant will enable a bond to be issued for $25.7 million, which reduces the cost to taxpayers by $4 million. Should the bond measure not pass, the District will go from the top to the bottom of the list for potential future state grants.

The elementary school will be renovated to include new electrical and plumbing (current plumbing produces brown, murky drinking water), new windows and siding (remove/dispose

of lead paint), asbestos abatement, new classrooms to accommodate the specific needs of middle schoolers, new shared spaces (gymnasium, commons, and cafeteria), and enhanced security features. In addition to providing these much-needed infrastructure and space upgrades, the newly renovated/expanded structure will offer opportunities for more community programs, as well as use of the building as a community emergency shelter in the case of a local catastrophic event.

We both worked for the Nestucca Valley School District for many years.

We’ve seen first-hand the importance of giving high schoolers and middle schoolers their own spaces and for fixing the many infrastructure problems at the elementary school. We are retired South County property owners and live on a fixed income. If voters pass this bond measure, we will be paying more taxes.

For us, it is worth the additional investment. Our community’s kids deserve a safe, inspiring environment in which to prepare for success in our challenging 21st century world. As community members, we believe it is our responsibility to provide excellent facilities and tools that will make that success possible.

Thriving, vital schools improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in the community. We encourage all our South County neighbors to vote “YES” on May 15.

For detailed information about the bond and its effect on taxpayers, go to the District website: www.nestucca. k12.or.us. You can also ask questions by emailing MistyW@nestucca.k12.or.us.

Bell hailed for her professionalism To the Editor: Please join me in voting for Mary Faith Bell for Tillamook County Commissioner. I have known Mary Faith for about eight years. She impresses me with her intelligence, her professionalism and her ability to engage with people from all walks of life. She is a good listener and she thinks before she speaks. She is humble and down to earth. She is of service all over the community from serving on boards to serving dinner to the homeless. She is a great mom, a great person and a natural leader. She also has a great sense of humor. She has all the skills and qualifications for the job. Ultimately it comes down to character: Mary Faith has the character necessary to be an excellent County Commissioner. Vote for Mary Faith.

place they can call their own. Because of his ideals, his experience, and his understanding of the important issues, you should elect Adam Schwend to be your next Tillamook County Commissioner.

According to the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis, long-term residential housing growth in the County has remained flat since 2000. This means that the county is in desperate need of housing that will continue to bring in employees to support our thriving dairy, timber, fishing, and business communities. Without this necessary increase in housing stock, the County will not be able to attract the needed revenue to continue to support our very important vital infrastructure.

By increasing the stock of available housing, we will also be able to increase the dollars that stay in Tillamook County. More workforce housing means better businesses, better schools, stronger communities, and more opportunity. Adam Schwend has the vision and expertise to help drive our success toward these goals.

Adam Schwend understands how to best approach the challenge of housing affordability. He has been involved in Salem in the search to create a climate that allows for communities to make their own decisions about zoning. He advocates policies that help to break the restraints on housing development in rural Oregon. He has demonstrated success in his advocacy time and time again.

Adam is a fighter for you, and for all of Tillamook County. He has a vision to guide a thriving place that respects its past, while focusing on success for all people. He understands what makes this beautiful land a great place to live, work, and play. He deserves your vote for Tillamook County Commissioner.

Ukiah & Lacey Hawkins Tillamook

Devoted to the community To the Editor: I have known Mary Faith Bell for over 10 years and in that time I have witnessed her selfless devotion to our community. Mary Faith spends untold hours helping others in public ways like her service on the TBCC Board and the Chamber board, and in the one on one help she offers to those in need.

Her positive impact to the community cannot be measured.

She is a very hard worker, intelligent, capable and professional. She is a good listener. She is trustworthy, honest, faithful and kind. She loves the people of Tillamook County and is the best person for the job of Commissioner. Please join me in voting for Mary Faith Bell.

Battling the Invaders

Volunteers sought for Scotch Broom Challenge, a May 12 effort to battle the invasive species at Whalen Island

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun It’ll be the latest battle against one of the prevalent invasive species found on the Oregon Coast when the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council, together with the Oregon Parks and Recreation District, hosts its every other year Scotch Broom Challenge, May 12 at the Clay Myers State Natural Area.

Volunteers are being sought for the effort, which is scheduled to run from 9 a.m.-noon.

Noting that the growth of Scotch Broom is a problem throughout the county, Watershed Council coordinator Haley Lutz said that the Challenge is held at Whalen Island where it’s easier to attack because of its smaller area.

“We’re at a point where, for the most part, we’ve gotten the larger stuff out of there,” she said, adding that for this event much of the focus will be on

new growth since the last effort two years ago.

“It’s a perpetual process,” she said.

Past cleanups at Whalen Island have drawn the help of 15-25 volunteers. That’s a number that Lutz says she hopes to at least duplicate if not improve upon. She said the effort to eliminate as much of the invasive plant as possible is important because its presence impacts the habitat and the growth of native plants.

Those that plan on helping out for the effort are asked to dress for the weather. Those that have access to hand clippers, gardening gloves and hands saws are encouraged to bring them.

Because the Watershed Council plans on providing donated snacks and water, volunteers are asked to register in advance of the event. To register, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ explore-nature-scotch-broom-cleanup-tickets-45107503758.

second leg. Subsequent legs take runners through Carlton and into Yamhill before they make the turn onto Nestucca River Road on their way through Blaine and on into Beaver. From there it follows Highway 101 to Sandlake Road before heading along McPhillips Drive and finishes at Cape Kiwanda. The race will finish just south of Pelican Pub so as not to take up parking at Tillamook County’s Cape Kiwanda parking lot. Prior to the event’s organization, Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long had announced he would not permit new events to use the parking area. To help minimize effect on traffic and parking, participant vans will be parked at one of three sites with shuttle service provided by HTC.

The course, featuring the last 77 miles of the original route, which was run from 1982 to 1989, will feature 12 legs, with each participant on six-person teams completing two legs of the journey. The event will have rolling starts for the 250 teams expected to participate.

The race’s first leg will take runners on a seven-mile journey starting at Bald Peak. But it doesn’t start easy — a steep downhill from Bald Peak is the race’s first challenge before runners can coast during a 4-mile flat stretch as the race moves into Newberg for the beginning of the

“If this community still has questions about their plan, then I think that it should come back and the CAC should be able to work on it again,” she said.

Porter echoed her comments.

“It’s your community, and you need to get the input into it that you can live with as a community,” he said.

Both Palter and Fleischer said that they didn’t want to comment directly due to not being familiar with the finer points of the plan, but they did offer some relevant input.

“As commissioner, I would want to fully vet it, talk to the community members, (and) make sure that they are in support of whatever plan is put forth,” Fleischer said.

“This kind of gets back to (Larry Rouse’s) question about incorporation,” added Palter. “If, ultimately, the community of Pacific City doesn’t like what the commissioners accept or don’t accept at the county level, if you folks decide to incorporate, then you get to draft your own plan.”

“If the recommendation is to send it back to the CAC and let them rework it, then that’s the right thing to do,” McCall said. “(When) you have 100 pepole come in and say we don’t want this — whether the merits are there or not — it becomes really difficult for us who are supposed to be representing the entire county to say that we need to do that,” Schwend opined. “I think just saying no we’re not going to support it is not enough. What I’d like to do is sit at the table and offer my abilities to the community and say let’s get down to the root of the common goal. If we can find a common goal, let’s build on that common ground.”

Birding and Blues flies high Boasting sold-out field trips and a wellattended blues concert by Karen Lovely, the 2018 Pacific City Birding & Blues Festival flew high during its annual event, held April 20-22 in Pacific City. Event organizer Merrianne Hoffman reported that keynote speaker Noah Strycker, who spoke at the event’s headquarters at Kiawanda Community Center, was treated to a full house during his “Birding Without Borders” presentation.

“It was really great to hear how this young man traveled around the world and his attempt at finding birds,” Hoffman said.

NESKOWIN VALLEY SCHOOL earned four bench-to-table benches by taking part in the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department’s annual plastic collection event.

The benches were built by Tillamook County Master Recyclers. Picture above (front row, l-r) are Rosa Herrera and Hunter Price; (in back row, l-r) are Master Recycler Debra Hirschfeld, Tillamook County Solid Waste Program Manager David McCall, THS Green Team Sustainability Co-Captain Kaja Smith, Green Team Staff Captain Tiffany Beeler, Green Team Sustainability Co-Captain Nic Delso, Carter Troutman, and John Giengrich.

NVS recycling efforts earns dividends

N

eskowin Valley School was one of three Tillamook County schools to earn prizes for their participation in the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department’s annual plastic collection event.

NVS was awarded four bench-totable benches to round out the school’s outdoors seating and dining.

Since 2012, the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department has been holding some form of plastic collection each fall in order to benefit local schools. Last year was no exception.

“In November of 2017, three schools collected 23 Super Sacks of Styrofoam and plastic,” said coordinator Sue Owens, who works in outreach and education for Tillamook County Solid Waste. “They did a fabulous job and earned some cool prizes as a result.”

In order to complete a collection of garden beds started last year, South Prairie School earned two more, giving them a total of 6 beds to raise healthy treats for the students. Tillamook High School earned four benches that now line their halls. All prizes were made from recycled plastic lumber to further emphasize the message of recycling plastic.

“We want to strengthen the connection between what has been

collected and what can be done with recycled materials,” Owens said.

“We enjoy finding ways to help the schools earn things they need while raising awareness and helping the environment,” added Owens. “It’s very rewarding.”

Adding to the rewards is the contribution of time and energy of the Tillamook County Master Recyclers who built the prizes. Headed by John Goertzen, a dedicated team of volunteers built the quality furnishings.

“Our volunteers are among the most dedicated and hardworking folks in the county,” said Owens, who also heads up the Master Recycler program.

“We are very fortunate to have such devoted and talented folks on our team.”

“We are very supportive of our local schools and are open to conversations about other recycling educational ideas and possibilities,” added David McCall, manager of the TCSWP, who encourages those with ideas to contact Owens or himself.

Events on the Horizon

By VERNE MOBLEY for the Chamber

All of a sudden, Tim Hirsch tells me it’s time to try to spread the Chamber news again!!

Lots of events just happened and many more ahead. The Candidate’s Forum was April 18 when we visited and listened to our County Commissioner candidates. Over 60 people attended for all six candidates to take questions and visit with us. Good night for all!

The Chamber plans to do this again before the November election for all other candidates.

“Birding and Blues” is opening as I write this. April 20-22 were the dates.

There is nothing real official about fireworks on July 4 week, but it’s quite likely it will occur July 4 at Bob Straub State Park.

Clover’s Day will be July 7. That’s for sure!

It promises to be bigger and better than ever.

“Countryfied” has been practicing hard playing once or twice a week for different parties!!

The “Reach the Beach” bicycle event will be soon. The Lions Club and Chamber will help park bikes near the Pelican. See Chamber or Lions members for times.

Also, Hood to Coast-Pacific City is May 5.

See Jeremy Strober for details.

We hope you all have fun at these events. It’s great to be a Lion and a Chamber member.

Commissioners to consider revised Community Plan

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Tillamook County Commissioners will hold a hearing on proposed revisions to the Pacific City Community Plan and its associated zoning code amendments when it meets Tuesday, May 1, 2 p.m., at Tillamook County Courthouse. Commissioners have also scheduled a second hearing on Wednesday, May 9, also at 2 p.m.

During the meeting, commissioners are expected to consider a recommendation by the Tillamook County Planning Commission, which, on April 12, approved a motion to recommend approval of the changes to the plan and its associated zoning code amendments with one exception — the advisory group recommended that commissioners send the changes affecting high density areas of Pacific City (PCW-R3) back to the Department of Community Development and the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee for further review.

At the earlier Planning Commission meeting, the debate, both during Planning Commission deliberation and during nearly an hour’s worth of public comment, centered around the issue of increased change in the R3 area. As the draft now stands, those changes would include lifting the requirement for an additional 2,000 square feet of land for each additional unit on a lot as well as relaxing restrictions on the number of

multi-family units that could be constructed on a site.

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 units on R3-zoned property. The proposed R3 setback changes would also eliminate the requirement for 15-foot front setbacks and 20-foot rear setbacks for multi-family developments and instead require a front and rear combination setback of 30 feet with neither the front or rear setback being less than 10 feet.

Community Development staff and the majority of members of the CAC’s Planning Review Committee have hailed the changes as a way to encourage the development of multi-family housing with the hope that it would encourage more workforce housing.

At the Planning Commission meeting, common themes for those opposed to the revisions included concern over the fact that there is nothing in the changes that would necessitate any multi-family development designated for long-term rentals and the belief that higher density development would exacerbate the infrastructure, parking and congestion problems already present in the area. Those in support, meanwhile, said that relaxed standards are crucial to making development of workforce housing pencil out.

Community Development to discuss new proposed revisions to Community Plan during May 5 emergency CAC meeting The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee has scheduled an emergency meeting for Saturday, May 5, starting at 10:30 a.m., during which time the Tillamook County Community Development Department is scheduled to present new proposed revisions to the Pacific City-Woods high density residential (R3) zone, according to an announcement circulated by the CAC. Community Development will also be seeking input from the community at the meeting.

In the announcement, the CAC said that the revisions to the proposed changes to the Pacific

City-Woods Community Plan and supporting code changes, which were last altered in December, are an attempt to address many of the concerns raised by community members during CAC meetings as well as at the April 12 hearing in front of the Tillamook County Planning Commission. Reportedly, the changes “could modify the proposal so that it would revise downward the number of units allowed per lot, add a maximum lot coverage standard, and/or provide assurances that new multi-family development wouldn’t be used as short-term rentals.”
