Wildife abounds at Nestucca Wildlife Refuge’s new trail system

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun I found it a bit hard to talk to Lila Bowen, a volunteer coordinator within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Oregon Coastal Refuge Complex, when she was giving me a tour of the new Two Rivers Trail at the Nestucca Bay Wildlife Refuge.

“Do you see that bird over there?” she asked, cutting herself off mid-sentence. “That’s a northern harrier hawk; we don’t see those very much, so it’s kind of exciting.”

Bowen admits that she wasn’t much of a bird person when she first started working for the refuge system, which includes marine and terrestrial habitats.

Now, she’s such a fan that she gets easily distracted by them, to the detriment of any conversation she might be trying to have.

But wildlife, Bowen pointed out, is really the point of the refuge anyway.

“We try to put wildlife first when we are making decisions,” she said. “For this new area, we worked closely with our main biologist, Ann Walker, to make sure we were properly restoring habitat.”

Putting wildlife first extends even to the places planned for human visitors, like the signs warning people to be on the lookout to avoid stepping on one of the terribly rare Oregon silverspot butterflies when walking on the trail, which constitutes a roughly twomile loop.

The trail winds through the restored habitat for the species, which includes the early blue violet, a species upon which the butterfly depends, and is one of the release sites for biologists that raise the butterflies in laboratories.

“We did a release earlier this year and someone saw one right before it happened that was likely from a previous release, so we feel that the program is having some success.”

Other species that might be seen include migratory songbirds, bald eagles, deer and even bobcats.

TWO RIVERS TRAIL, a newly opened section of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, offers a roughly two-mile loop rife with wild birds, a rare butterfly species, and varied ecological habitats.

The new trail is the longest one at the refuge, and opened officially on Aug. 17. A mix of gravel service roads and a more classic single-track trail, it can be experienced different ways.

“What I like about this trail is you can break your hike up into shorter sections, or do a figure eight, or a straight out and back,” Bowen said. “It keeps it from being the same hike every time.”

Classed as moderate, the hike winds through some forested areas, passes by an old apple orchard from the time the property was owned by the Jesuits, and includes a view of the confluence of the Nestucca and Little Nestucca rivers, from which the trail gets its

name.

The parking area is still being finished, but will have spaces for about 15 cars when completed. The trail head for the Pacific View Trail also leaves from the same place, and is a short, fully paved and wheelchair accessible walkway to an observation deck with views that include Haystack Rock, the Nestucca Bay, and the Coast Range.

To reach the Two Rivers Trailhead, turn west on Christensen Road, off Hwy. 101 just south of Pacific City. Drive to the upper lot. The refuge is open daily from sunrise to sunset. For more information, visit www.fws.gov/refuge/Nestucca_Bay/.

TILLAMOOK REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER recently announced a $30,000 community benefit donation to Tillamook County Wellness to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in Tillamook County.

TRMC donates $30,000 to fight type 2 diabetes Tillamook Regional Medical Center recently announced a community benefit donation of $30,000 to support the county-wide health initiative being implemented by Tillamook County Wellness to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Nearly 12 percent of residents in Tillamook County have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Many more are not yet diagnosed or are at risk of developing the disease including an increasing number of young people. The risk factors for diabetes are like those of other chronic diseases including heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.

“It is our privilege to partner with Tillamook County Wellness in this initiative,” said David Butler, president of Tillamook Regional Medical Center.

“Prevention of chronic disease including type 2 diabetes is one of our top priorities. Reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes will have a dramatic positive effect on the population of Tillamook County and

the health benefits will extend to other chronic diseases as well. Our vision is that these funds will inspire wellness and support community-based efforts to reverse diabetes and improve the quality of life in our community.”

“These funds will help us not only change community norms and environments to shape health outcomes, but they will also help us measure the impact of our efforts, so we can invest in areas we know will reduce disease risk for our residents,” said Michelle Jenck, Tillamook County Wellness coordinator. “On behalf of the Tillamook County Community Health Centers, I would like to express my gratitude to Tillamook Regional Medical Center for being such a strong partner in promoting health in Tillamook County. This is truly a collaborative effort. This donation demonstrates a clear commitment on the part of Adventist Health to helping reduce risk for type 2 diabetes in Tillamook County.”

The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee discussed a number of bylaw changes at its Aug. 18 annual meeting, changes that centered around changing the meeting schedule to a quarterly rather than a monthly format as well as a modification changing the vice-chair/treasurer position to just vice chair as the CAC no longer has a bank account.

Another minor modification being considered is renaming unscheduled meetings as “special meetings.” Previously, the CAC has labeled unscheduled meetings as “emergency meetings.”

Much of the discussion at the Aug. 18 meeting centered on grammatical corrections, though there was some discussion as to whether it made sense to remove all references to contributions and funds as the CAC no longer has a bank account. However, after CAC Chair Matt Kinne pointed out that he left those lines in to allow for the group to “pass the hat” to help offset a variety of expenses as well as make a small contribution to the buildings hosting the meetings, CAC members were supportive of keeping that wording in.

Kinne said he will make the grammatical changes and distribute the new document to membership at least 15 days prior to the September meeting, which is scheduled for Monday, Sept.

17, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. The CAC is expected to vote on the changes at the September meeting. For more information about the Pacific City-Woods CAC, visit pcwoodscac.org.

Nestucca Fire seeks funding for drone

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun The Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District has plans to take their efforts to serve the public safety needs of the area to the skies. Fire Chief Jim Oeder is currently seeking funds to acquire a drone that will be able to scout for victims, drop life vests to those in the water and more.

Oeder has already identified the model he plans to purchase, the DJI M210. Together with the accessories he is planning, the drone will cost $18,339.

Though the district does not have money in its budget for this expenditure, Oeder told the Sun that he is hard at work identifying grant sources as well as reaching out to a variety of groups for donations.

By adding a drone, Oeder says the district will both increase its ability to quickly address emergency situations and make operations safer for personnel.

Accessories planned for the drone include a 30-power zoom mobile camera, a thermal camera, and a drop system capable of releasing life vests.

“If we have someone in the ocean, we can fly out, hover above them and release a life vest for them,” Oeder said about the drop system.

He added that the thermal camera system, which is similar to the one the district uses for interior fires, will give emergency service personnel improved abilities in searches.

“If we’re doing a search, we can fly in above, and, if it picks up different heat sources, it will show you outlines of what the heat source is,” Oeder said.

“If it is a body, we’ll be able to actually see what the outline of the body is.”

The camera is also expected to offer numerous benefits to the district.

Possible scenarios where the drone’s camera will be useful is the ability to

examine the ocean side of homes sitting on a bluff without putting personnel in danger on the outside of the structure and the capability to get a view of wildfires in advance of the arrival of helicopters.

“We can have (the drone) up taking pictures and have a better idea of what kind of resources we’re going to need for it,” Oeder said.

The drone is also hailed for its potential to limit dangerous situations for emergency service workers.

“Instead of putting people in a bad situation, we’ll be able to take the drone, fly up over the area and have a live feed so we can see what conditions are,” Oeder added. “It’ll help improve the safety of our personnel and can provide better information to the Coast Guard. And if we need to bring in water teams (from) North Lincoln (Fire & Rescue) or (Netarts-Oceanside Fire District), we can also give them better information.”

Oeder said he hopes to secure funds for the drone by next January and be able to have a drone in the district’s hands by the end of the first quarter of 2019 — in advance of spring break.

“Between grants and donation, we’re going to do whatever we can to raise enough money to purchase this,” he said.

In the meantime, the district will be working on getting personnel trained as certification is required to operate the drone. Oeder said he would like to have five or more people certified on the drone. The district already has two members on the waiting list for certification classes including Roy Hansen, a licensed pilot who will shepherd the program.

Those interested in contributing to the district’s drone fund, which, at press time had already received $1,500 in donations, are asked to call Nestucca Fire at 503-392-3313.

Rep. David Gomberg (D-Otis) answered questions on a variety of issues when he hosted a town hall in Pacific City on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at Kiawanda Community Center.

Amongst the issues those in attendance were concerned about was the Pacific City State Airport, potential tax increases, the lack of high paying jobs and more.

Noting the 55 people — half of which were pilots — that showed up for a recent event at the airport, local historian Sally Rissel told Gomberg that the airport was on her mind and that she, together with other members of the Friends of the Pacific City State Airport, want to make Pacific City’s airport the safest one on the Oregon Coast.

“I think the conversation has changed dramatically (from when the Department of Aviation was thinking of selling the airport),” Gomberg answered. “Now we’re talking about how we can make it a better, safer airport rather than a private (airport).”

“My opinion is we just don’t have enough high-paying jobs,” opined Pacific City resident Larry Rouse. “If all we do is pay people $15 an hour, we’re not going to be paying enough.”

“Jobs are a challenge,” acknowledged Gomberg, who noted that, for example the median family income is $10,000 less in Lincoln City than in Newport where there are more opportunities such as those provided by the fishing fleet, college, larger

County seeks applicants for tourism grants Visit Tillamook Coast, the destination marketing organization for Tillamook County, recently announced the availability of $100,000 in tourism marketing and promotions grant funding for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. This is the fourth year in a row that $100,000 in grant funding has been made available to community organizations and businesses involved in tourism.

Application forms can be downloaded at tillamookcoast.com/grants. The deadline for submission is Nov. 15. Grant funding is estimated for mid-December, 2018.

Nonprofit and not-for-profit organizations, as well as for-profit businesses involved in tourism activities are eligible.

Up to $10,000 can be awarded for a tourism marketing and promotion project or event. Applicants focusing on shoulder season activities (late September through late May) are given priority in scoring of their grant.

Nonprofits and not-for-profits are awarded 50 percent after approval of the project, and receive the remaining 50 percent after satisfactory completion of the project and fulfilling grant reporting

requirements.

For-profits must first get approval of the project, then are eligible for 50 percent reimbursement after satisfactory completion of the project and fulfilling grant reporting requirements.

The grant applications are first reviewed for completeness and eligibility by the tourism director and tourism grants administrator. If eligibility is questionable, legal counsel is consulted.

Eligible applications are then reviewed and scored by the Tourism Promotion Advisory Committee, and then the Economic Development Council of Tillamook County approves recommended applications for funding.

In the previous three fiscal years, Visit Tillamook Coast has awarded a total of $307,000 in marketing and promotions grants. Projects range from digital marketing campaigns, rack cards, websites and videos to walking maps, event marketing, media campaigns and print advertising.

For more information, contact grants administrator Amy Blackburn at 503-842-2672 or amy@tillamookcoast. com.

hospital and NOAA. “So how do we create those kind of opportunities here in southern Tillamook County? I’m looking for those answers. I’m looking for those opportunities. One of the things I try to focus on is small business because I think every small business we have right now is an incubator, an apprenticeship for more small businesses.

The people who work in a kitchen today want to own a kitchen tomorrow. I think that small business is a ticket up for a lot of people who are invested in our community and looking to build a sustainable future for themselves and their family.”

Amongst other issues that Gomberg addressed is the disparity between vacation rentals and long-term rental opportunities.

“The issue is we don’t have enough affordable housing. We need some tools in order to generate more affordable housing.

(One) suggestion (has been) maybe we add on to the room tax in nightly rentals — not hotels — but in vacation rental homes (and) use that extra money for affordable housing enterprises. The conversation began in Salem a year and a half ago. That conversation will continue in Salem. It’s one of the ideas that’s percolating on how we deal with the housing challenge here.

The question is how do we incentivize the kind of building and the kind of housing that we really need the most in our community so that people who want to work here at the coast can find a place to live here at the coast.”

Cape Kiwanda restrooms get facelift Thanks to a recent renovation by the Tillamook County Parks Department, visitors to the popular beach at Cape Kiwanda now have improved restrooms to turn to when nature calls.

Following the 4th of July weekend, the insides of the restrooms were nearly completely redone and the exterior was painted, too.

“We have essentially torn out the interior and put in new partitions, faucets and sinks,” said Del Schleichert, parks director.

Though the toilets were not replaced, park staff put in new parts and materials on the flushing mechanisms. The cost of the project was just over $10,000.

“Facilities have a life,” Schleichert said. “This particular facility gets tremendous use. A lot of the partitions and elements had reached a point where they met their life expectancy. Luckily, we had the funding available to buy the new materials.”

The one piece of the facility that has yet to get an update, though, is the floors.

Though Schleichert said he would love to tile the paint-worn concrete floors, he said the high price tag associated with such a project is not something the Parks Department has funds to take on at this time. He estimated it would cost $12,000 to $14,000 for each of the men’s and Page 8 • Pacific City SUN • August 31, 2018

women’s restrooms to tile.

Park Advisory Committee member Larry Rouse is amongst those happy with the changes. Speaking at the Aug. 18 Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee meeting, Rouse said that the renovations have greatly improved the facility.

“Upon my semi-professional perusal of the bathroom, the interiors are terrific,” he told the CAC. “I even made the comment at the last (PAC) meeting that, as far as I’m concerned, I think we can just table the idea of having to build new restrooms. They look very serviceable. It looks very nice. I’d say, at this point, the only thing we might want to consider for that restroom might be tiling the floor.

Right now, it’s good concrete, but it’s been painted and the sand has worn patterns all over it. So we’re going to take (tiling the floor) under consideration to make it look a little more professional. Right now, for the users down there, they’re going to be pleasantly surprised when they use that restroom.”

“We really believe restrooms are one of the more important facilities,” Schleichert said. “If they don’t look bright and clean, people have a whole different image of what your facilities are like.

It not only looks like it’s completely new and renovated, but it actually is.”

Art show raises more than $800 for CAP, NVA

Septemberfest offers fellowship for seniors

T

he Kiawanda Community Center was visited by rain outside and plenty of art fans inside during the 26th Annual Nestucca Valley Artisans Festival, Aug. 25-26.

“This was my first time back in 10 years,” said painter Merrie Jo Snow. “It’s been great reconnecting with people, I’ve even been visited by some old buyers. It’s a much higher caliber show than it was before — it seems to just keep getting better every year.”

NVA President Marilyn Burkhardt agreed that the quality of the show continues to improve and mentioned a neighbor vendor who was told by a customer that he was “glad to find it was a real, high quality art show.”

Based on comments from other vendors, Burkhardt said that the NVA should consider the show successful overall.

“From what I’ve heard so far, it was a pretty good fair for everyone,” she said. “The crowds were just great, and everybody seemed to be leaving happy and holding packages.”

Burkhardt even sold the large ceramic rabbit statue that she brought as a “greeter,” as her booth was the first visitors would see as they entered.

“I wasn’t expecting to sell that, so it was a pleasant surprise,” she said.

“Except the rest of the day people kept coming up and asking where my rabbit went.”

Raffle tickets were sold as well, a joint fundraiser for the NVA and the

“We bring our own dumpsters and portapotties, and when it’s all over, we do a major clean up and restoration with Oregon State Parks staff. We even bring out equipment to get rid of any spots that might have been dug out by vehicle access.”

Parking Management Plan town hall set for Sept. 19 Tillamook County will host a town hall on Wednesday, Sept. 19, starting at 6 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, to address progress on the development of a parking management plan for the Pacific City-Woods area.

According to Tillamook County, the plan, which is part of the Transient Lodging Tax funded Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, will identify preferred policies and strategies to address parking issues, develop a phased approach and implementation schedule, determine cost estimates and evaluate potential funding sources.

In a preliminary strategies report released last May, project lead Kittelson & Associates, Inc. suggested the following as possible preliminary strategies: wayfinding signs, frequently asked questions/how to park resource, coordination with commu-

nity destinations, a parking ambassador, shuttle service and improved transit facilities, a drop-off/pick-up area, implementation of regular parking enforcement, support of a driveway share program that would allow homeowner to rent out their driveways on a temporary basis, creating of motorcycle or compact vehicle parking, a reconfiguration of existing off-street parking facilities, and the establishment of remote parking areas served by transit.

Kittelson & Associaties have also done a parking survey, but results were not available at press time.

he Neskowin Chamber Music’s 25th season is bookended nicely, with pianist Jeffrey LaDeur opening the season Oct. 7, and pianist Albert Kim wrapping it up in 2019 on May 19.

Between will be quartets, an ensemble, a trio, and a vocal ensemble.

LaDeur, who has degrees from the Eastman School of Music and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, last appeared at Neskowin in 2016 as a member of the Delphi Trio, and has since played all over the U.S. and abroad and frequently on the radio.

He is the founder and artistic director of the San Francisco International Piano Festival and the New Piano Collective. He was featured in the 2016 award-winning documentary “California Typewriter.”

The Boston Trio will take the stage Nov. 4. The trio is comprised of violinist Irina Muresanu, cellist Jonah Ellsworth, and pianist Heng-Jin Park, who each have distinguished careers as soloists, recitalists, and chamber musicians, and have appeared with major orchestras and premier chamber music festivals throughout the United States and Europe. The trio recently performed for the second time at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall and completed a tour of the U.S., including Florida performances at the Flagler Museum and the Sanibel Music Festival.

Cantus, a vocal ensemble, will perform on Nov. 25. Cantus is made up of eight men singing in a TTBB (tenor, tenor, baritone, bass) changed male voice arrangement.

Hailed as “the premier men’s vocal ensemble in the United States” (Fanfare) and winner of the prestigious Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence from Chorus America, Cantus, based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, has an active schedule of national tour dates, local subscription concerts, and educational outreach programs and recordings.

The first performance of 2019, on Feb. 10, will be by the Pacifica String Quartet, comprised of Simin Ganatra on violin, Austin Hartman on violin, Mark Holloway on viola, and Brandon Vamos on cello.

Named the quartet-in-residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music in March 2012, the Pacifica was previously the quartet-in-residence at

Page 14 • Pacific City SUN • August 31, 2018

the Metropolitan Museum of Art and received a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. In 2017, the Pacifica Quartet was appointed to lead the Center for Advanced Quartet Studies at the Aspen Music Festival and School.

Coming all the way from Germany for a performance on March 17 will be the second string quartet, the Mandelring Quartet, with features Sebastian Schmidt on violin, Nanette Schmidt on violin, Andreas Willwohl on viola, and Bernhard Schmidt on cello.

After receiving glowing reviews in European publications, it was the quartet’s success in winning a few European competitions that launched their international career. When not traveling, they put on the HambacherMusikfest, a festival in their home town of Neustadt on the Weinstrasse (Wine Road), which has developed into a meeting point for lovers of chamber music from all over the globe.

The stage will be crowded on April 7 when Frisson, a strings and winds ensemble, performs. Hailing from New York, the current lineup is Jeremías Sergiani Velázquez on violin, Caeli Smith on viola, Julian Schwarzon on cello, Sam Suggs on double bass, Ji Weon Ryu on flute, Thomas Gallant on oboe, Stas Chernyshev on clarinet, Gabriela González-Briceño on bassoon, and Nathaniel Silberschlag on french horn.

The ensemble draws talent from many of the nation’s major music schools including Juilliard, Curtis, and Yale, and showcases a myriad of rarelyperformed masterworks.

The season closes on May 19 with American pianist Albert Kim, who made his public debut at the age of 10, when he substituted on a day’s notice for an ailing Vladimir Horowitz at Carnegie Hall. Since then he has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, including solo and chamber music recitals at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Weill Recital Hall, Ravinia, Caramoor, Bargemusic, the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival in Finland, and the LaJolla Chamber Music Festival.

Season tickets for Neskowin Chamber Music are $110. Single tickets are $25.

For more information, visit neskowinchambermusic.org. or call 503965-6499. Camp Winema is located three miles north of Neskowin, just off Highway 101.

PASTOR DAN MASON, second from left, and elder Roger Johnson, second from right, both of Pacific Coast Bible Church, participated in a conference for Kenyan pastors in Lodwar, Kenya Aug. 13-17.

Answering the Call

PCBC Pastor Dan Mason, elder Roger Johnson provide Biblical instruction to Kenyan pastors

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

W

hen it comes to answering the call to serve, Pacific Coast Bible Church Pastor Dan Mason and Elder Roger Johnson have their ears wide open.

The duo are two instrumental parts of the leadership at the Pacific City church, but while they remain dedicated to serving the growing congregation at PCBC, they also recognize that the Oregon Coast isn’t the only mission field that needs pastoral care. Enter a recent two-week trip to Lodwar, Kenya, where they, as part of a five-member team under the direction of Agape Project International, participated in a conference for Kenyan pastors that ran Aug. 13-17.

For his part, Mason, who has served as pastor of PCBC since 2011 and as a full-time pastor for 12 years, taught a week’s worth of lessons from the book of Galatians, a book that focuses on setting the early church straight on the gospel.

“The main theme that was being pulled out of Galatians session after session was the great need of having and understanding the true gospel, the gospel that has the power to save,” Mason said.

And leaning on his 26 years of experience in children’s ministry, Johnson educated the pastors on both the value of teaching children Biblical truths and practical steps to do so. This is Mason’s second time participating in the conference, and Johnson’s fourth — and third in a row.

Mason said the conference offers a critical learning experience for Kenyan pastors, many of which lack the knowledge and skills necessary for “true” Bible teaching and Bible study. “(I was) seeking to teach them the word of God (and) to model how I was teaching them the word of God,” he said. “Many of them are very ignorant (on) how to study the word, how to do good exegesis, (and) how to do good Bible study methods to find the truth of the word.

“The level of Bible understanding is very shallow, but the appetite and the drive to learn is huge,” Mason added.

“We’re giving them an appetite for…a very gospel centered, Bible-saturated theology.”

Johnson’s focus with the pastors started with sharing the theological reasons for teaching kids, followed by instruction on the Bible-based philosophical reason for it and how to do it.

The conference, which was held under the direction of Michael Sandberg, director of pastoral development at API, appears to be making a difference.

“One brother (in the Lord) who attended said he attended Bible college, but it was not near as rich as what he was receiving at this conference,” Mason said. “The level of maturity that has shifted since I was there last, thrilled my heart. Seeing the intensity in their study and their leadership of the other pastors — that’s what sticks the most with me as I reflect back. I saw different men than I saw two years ago. So it’s working. It’s really taking a good toll.”

“There are more and more of these churches that really do want to focus on the kids,” added Johnson. “I was just thrilled that the pastors were actually more inclined to do children’s ministry than before.”

“There was more enthusiasm in Roger’s session than I saw two years ago,” Mason said. “It wasn’t just enthusiasm in his teaching, it was enthusiasm in putting into practice what he was giving them.”

Following a week of teaching, both Mason and Johnson spent the next week visiting five churches as well as the second largest refugee camp in Africa where a group of pastors are ministering to the 120,000 refugees there.

“That was a week of visiting churches, giving away audio Bibles, and food and famine relief to different churches,” Mason said.
