In Search of a Solution

Legislators release legal opinion on possible PERS fixes

O

regon’s Legislative Counsel has released a legal opinion on the constitutionality of possible Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) reforms. Of the reforms analyzed, seven were deemed likely constitutional.

Senator Betsy Johnson (DScappoose) and Senator Tim Knopp (R-Bend) are spearheading the Bipartisan PERS Solutions Work Group.

Oregonians interested in pursuing constitutional PERS reform are invited to participate. Invitations have also been sent to a broad, bipartisan coalition of school administrators, local government officials, and labor and business groups representing a variety of interests across the state.

“This legal opinion gives us a great foundation as we gather Oregonians around the state in our Bipartisan PERS Solutions Work Group to consider the best way to start fixing the nearly $22 billion PERS unfunded liability,” said Senators Knopp and Johnson. “We no longer want to hear that there are no solutions. Oregonians want fair, constitutional solutions to our PERS crisis and working together, we will find them.”

The PERS reform options deemed likely constitutional by Legislative Counsel include: cap the

final average salary calculation at $100,000 per year; use a market rate for money match annuities; ensure all PERS members contribute to their benefit by redirecting member contributions into an account to help pay for their future retirement; stop unfair pension enhancement by preventing future unused vacation and sick leave from artificially inflating final average salary calculations; spread the final average salary calculation over five instead of three consecutive years; move all new employees to a defined contribution plan requiring employers to match the 6 percent employee contribution into the Individual Account Program; and allow full bargaining regarding government payment of employee PERS contributions and limiting agreements to five-year periods.

The PERS actuary, Milliman, is evaluating the financial impacts of these proposals. If implemented, these reforms would not affect benefits already accrued by current PERS members.

“We now have a solid place to start conversations on real, fair PERS reform, and we’re ready to get to work,” said Senators Knopp and Johnson. “We invite any Oregonian interested in solving our PERS crisis to join us.”

Visit Tillamook Coast selected for Travel Oregon’s Agritourism Rural Studio program Visit Tillamook Coast, the official Tillamook County tourism organization, is the recipient of the 2017 Travel Oregon Tourism Studio program for agritourism development. The Rural Studio program is developed and facilitated by the Destination Development group at Travel Oregon and assists communities in building collaborative tourism strategies in a specific area of economic development. The focus for the Tillamook studio is the blend of agriculture and tourism.

The project will take place in Tillamook County next year, between January and April. Efforts will focus not just on culinary and agritourism marketing, but will also identify and plan for infrastructure, collaborative efforts, locally sourced products, entrepreneurial opportunities, and market strategies within and beyond the county.

The application to Travel Oregon, written by Visit Tillamook Coast’s tourism director Nan Devlin, was supported by a county-wide effort of companies

our beachside locations in South Tillamook County will be amongst more than 100 projects — including 46 beach cleanups coastwide — when SOLVE’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup once again seeks to remove invasive plants, restore natural areas, and clean up hundreds of miles of beaches, rivers, parks and neighborhoods on Saturday, Sept. 24.

More than 5,000 Oregonians are expected to particpate in the 33rd annual event, which is part of the International Coastal Cleanup and National Public Lands Day. Cleanup locations in South Tillamook County are in Pacific City (meets at Pelican Pub, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City), Sand Lake (meets at the Sand Lake OHV Riding Area, East Parking Lot), Wi-Ne-Ma Wayside (three miles north of Neskowin, from Highway 101, turn west on Wine-Ma Road and proceed to check-in table) and in Neskowin (meets at the Neskowin Trading Company, 48880 Highway 101 S.). All four South Tillamook County clean-ups will run from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., as will most other events.

SOLVE says the event is needed be-

cause, despite our shared landscape and ethic of stewardship, Oregon’s waterways and natural areas are facing serious threats from diminishing wildlife habitat, invasive plants, and litter which flows downstream to the state’s rivers and out to the ocean.

“Whether you live along a waterway or in the middle of a city, the Beach & Riverside Cleanup gives Oregonians the chance to make a positive difference in their community,” said Maureen Fisher, CEO of SOLVE. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to give back to this great state we call home.”

SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to clean up beaches and rivers, and restore watersheds. Visit solvoregon.org for more information or to volunteer.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Construction to close OR 22 for three days Beginning on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 7 a.m., a section of OR 22 (Three Rivers Highway) at milepost 10.86 will be closed to traffic in both directions in order for crews to replace a wood bridge deck at Louie Creek. The road will reopen at 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 3.

The Louie Creek Bridge is located just south of the junction (Dolph) where OR 22 and OR 130 (Little Nestucca Highway) meet. The work is weather dependent.

During the time of the closure, a detour will be available by using OR 18. Message boards will be placed in advance to warn travelers and trucks for freight mobility.

The closure is necessary for an Oregon Department of Transportation crew to do maintenance work on the bridge. This work includes grinding a 2-1/2 inch layer of existing pavement off of the bridge in order to access and remove the current wood deck.

After the wood has been removed, new wood will be placed and repaved with a layer of asphalt. Guard rails and bridge rails will also be replaced as an extension of this project.

Emergency preparedness meeting set for Sept. 30 The American Red Cross will present Prepare Out Loud, a free informational presentation on how to prepare both individuals and businesses for an earthquake and subsequent tsunami, on Friday, Sept. 30, 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Port of Tillamook Bay’s board room.

The program promises to offer simple steps to prepare individuals and families for a disaster, as well as teaching the importance of sharing that message with others.

Community Center to host new fitness class Fit n’ Fabulous, a class suitable for those new to exercising, will be meeting at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-10 a.m. A typical class session will include a five minute warm-up, 20-minute aerobics workout, five minute cool down, 10 minutes of stretching, and tai chi and yoga. There is a suggested $5 donation for the class. For more information, contact Tillamook County Family YMCA at 503-842-9622 ext. 111.

‘Duckbill’ erased from the Cape’s landscape

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

O

ne of the most photographed features of Cape Kiwanda has been deleted from the vista atop the sandstone wonder after two men, who were caught on video by beachgoer David Kalas, apparently forced the pedestal down on Aug. 29.

The sandstone pedestal, known locally as the “Duckbill” and roughly 7- to 10-feet across, was located in an area of the park fenced off for safety.

The Oregon State Police is leading an investigation into the vandalism, which according to a Sept. 6 Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept. press release, will determine how to pursue possible violations of state park rules and Oregon laws in response to video showing visitors to the park pushing the landmark sandstone feature to the ground.

The investigation will be based out of the Oregon State Police Tillamook Worksite. The State Police will be working in close concert with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and the Tillamook District Attorney’s office.

Chris Havel, associate director of OPRD, told the Sun that he envisions

the incident can email tips to osppio@state.or.us, or call the Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at 1-800-452-7888. All calls are kept confidential.

The aftermath also had numerous locals — and nature lovers worldwide — decrying what many called a senseless action.

“On Facebook and on Twitter and directly to us by email we got flooded with a lot of outrage that someone would take it upon themselves to alter such an iconic piece of PACIFIC CITY’S the landscape,” Havel told the iconic “Duckbill” Sun.

New community garden to sprout next spring Pacific City has had a thriving community garden for several years at the South Tillamook County Library, but with a waiting list for potential gardeners, what’s a family with green thumbs to do?

Enter Nestucca Valley Presbyterian Church, which is planning to create Geri’s Community Garden, a new community garden that is slated for its initial planting in spring 2017.

The new community garden is being built at 35370 6th St., Pacific City, the location of the former home of Geri Lytsell, a longtime Pacific City resident and former church member. Lystell was a mainstay of the church, and, reportedly always reached out to anyone in

need. She lived next to the church, and when she passed in 2016, the church purchased her property. Community members suggested that it could become a community garden, and the idea caught on, with the strong support of Lystell’s family.

The garden is being launched with a small grant from the Oregon Food Bank Model Health Pantry program, which is designed to help provide fresh and healthy food to low-income residents. Once established, the garden will run on a sliding fee scale to allow anyone with willingness to garden to participate. It will be open to all interested folks in South Tillamook County.

Additional funding for the garden’s

The planning process is well underway, with help from Food Roots, OSU Extension, and other experienced community gardeners. Organizers hope to get infrastructure such as water, fencing and garden beds in place this fall to assure timely planting in the spring.

The group of gardeners is forming this fall. Those interested in gardening or helping can contact Cheryl Ritenbaugh of Pacific City at cheryl@ritenbaugh.us.

ODFW adopts forage fish plan The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, on Sept. 2, adopted a management plan and regulations designed to protect forage fish that are not covered by other management plans within state waters off the coast of Oregon.

The unmanaged forage fish are small schooling fish such as smelt, squid, and Pacific saury, that serve as an important food source for salmon, steelhead and many other fish species, seabirds and marine mammals.

Oregon’s new plan will extend new protections for unmanaged forage fish, including more restrictive fishing regulations, harvest limits, and better tracking and monitoring from the coast to three miles offshore. Similar protections were established earlier this year for adjacent federal waters, which are located three or more miles offshore.

The forage fish plan will link Oregon’s waters with federal offshore waters, stitching together protections of the marine food web along the entire West Coast, according to Dr. Caren Braby, manager of ODFW’s Marine Resources Program, who briefed the Commission on the plan.

Additionally, the Commission delayed making a decision on two “Welcome to Hunt” Access and Habitat projects on privately owned land in Northeast Oregon.

In other business, the Commission accepted a petition from several conservation groups to consider reclassifying the marbled murrelet from threatened to endangered under the Oregon Endangered Species Act. The Commission directed ODFW staff to complete a biological analysis of the bird to determine whether reclassification is warranted.

The Commission is the policy-making body for fish and wildlife issues in Oregon and usually meets monthly. Its next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 7 in La Grande.

esidents got their first glance at the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, a project financed via a $90,000 grant for the Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax, during a Sept. 7 town hall at Kiawanda Community Center.

The plan, spearheaded by Cogan Owens Green, LLC, who the county hired for the project, is the culmination of a series of public and steering committee meetings and stakeholder input.

Because of varying costs and complexities, the plan features several phases.

Projects in phase one, which the plan says could be implemented in the 201718 timeframe, include requiring a fee for county parking lots, establishing a parking management plan, installing a trash compactor and recycling program at Cape Kiwanda parking lot, and new restrooms at that same parking lot.

Assuming the installation of electronic self-pay parking kiosks, a parking lot fee would cost about $75,000 to implement. An additional $20,000 is budgeted for annual operations. Initial capital costs could be provided by County Parks or Tillamook County and repaid with parking fee revenues. The OPRD Local Government Grant Program is another possible revenue source for start-up funds. The plan is to enact the fee at both the Cape Kiwanda and Turnaround (west end of Pacific Avenue). If a parking lot is eventually built on what is now Webb Park, that location could be added at a later time.

According to the plan, implementing a pay-to-park program will help improve overall parking management and provide a much-needed revenue stream to improve park facilities.

“It would be definitely paired with better enforcement,” said Steve Faust, of Cogan Owens Green, at the town hall.

“You can’t have a parking fee system without enforcing those fees.”

A parking management plan, which carries with it an estimated $20,000 price tag, was another of the master plan’s short-term goals. It would guide where parking is located, as well as how it’s maintained. The recommendation is that options should be explored for on-street and off-street parking, shuttle services, and seasonal, residential and commercial parking restrictions and permit programs.

“It’s going to be up to the community to collectively say how many parking spaces do we want to provide,” Faust said.

Another recommendation is to replace existing waste receptacles with a trash compactor, which, according to the plan, would accommodate more garbage and eliminate excess accumulations of waste. As well, the plan suggests exploring the idea of adding more trash receptacles on or near the beach.

“Obviously they’d have to be pretty resilient to stand up to the elements, but (it would) encourage less litter on the beach,” Faust added.

Adding new restrooms, at an antici-

pated cost of $200,000, was the final of the phase one recommendations. The idea is to replace the current structure with a new one more resilient to heavy use and vandalism. Faust said that representatives from Oregon Parks and Recreation Department have said that facilities like the ones they have in their state parks have shown that they can do just that.

LONGER TERM PROJECTS Projects in phase 2, which are expected to be done in the 2019-2021 timeframe, ranged from Cape Kiwanda Drive streetscape improvements to a parking shuttle to adding restrooms at the turnaround lot.

Several options were considered to improve the traffic congestion and safety concerns along Cape Kiwanda Drive, but, as it turns out, streetscape improvements were more heavily favored by community members who attended the last town hall on June 29. Less popular options included secondary roads running parallel to Cape Kiwanda and a roundabout.

In the master plan, recommended streetscape improvements include adding a 12-foot wide multi-use path on the west side of Cape Kiwanda Drive to provide a thoroughfare for both pedestrians and bicyclists. Other improvements include crosswalks, ADA curb ramps and curbed mediums, efforts that the plan says will help calm traffic and create a more comfortable environment for pedestrians. A four-foot buffer between the multi-use path and the roadway is part of the recommendation as well, as is a left-turn lane for the eventual community park just south of Cape Kiwanda. The estimate cost is $1.5 to $2 million.

“The new pedestrian facilities would allow people to get out of their cars and make their way from one end of the area to the other,” said Faust.

The parking shuttle proposal would be worked out with Tillamook County Transit District, which has already met with some success in running a shuttle in the area, most recently at the 2016 Dory Days Festival. Estimated infrastructure cost is $150,000 with a $60,000 budget for annual operations. Proposed shuttle stops include the Turnaround, Pacific City Boat Launch, Bob Straub State Park, and along Brooten Road.

Permanent restrooms at the turnaround were the final recommendation of phase 2 and would cost an estimated $100,000.

In the third phase of the master plan, Cogans Owens Green recommended relocating Webb Park to the countyowned parcel just northeast of the current camping facilities and constructing a new parking lot in its place. That project has a price tag of approximately $3 million.

The master plan has slated 2022-27 as a realistic timetable.

The complete master plan is available on the Tillamook County Commissioners’ web page at co.tillamook.or.us.

ne of the best things about writing about local history is meeting some of the longtime residents and hearing their stories.

When Brian Kellow was in Beaver this summer working on his new novel, he introduced me to his father Jack Kellow.

Jack is nearly 95 years old and still lives in the house he built in 1946.

“This is the only house I’ve lived in as an adult,” says Jack, “and it’s getting pretty well crammed full.”

His parents, Bud and Jessie, had a house on this same property.

Jack’s mother is part of the Danish immigrant pioneer family of Hans Lars Jensen, who settled in the Hebo area in 1878 and owned much propPhotos courtesy of the Lorraine Eckhardt collection erty in Beaver and Hebo.

Don’t live with embarrassment!

Rug show highlights Turkish culture

By VICKY HIRSCH of the Sun

T

homas Goodwin Gallery in Cloverdale has been displaying Turkish rugs for sale since Aug. 16, and the public’s last chance to view and purchase them at the coast is Sunday, Sept. 18.

Curator Mehmet Sahin, who has had a rug store in Portland for almost 20 years, and whose grandfather started buying rugs in the 1800s, brings these one-of-a-kind, handmade oriental carpets and antique rugs from Istanbul. He and other family members go to Turkey at least once a year and search out high quality rugs. At least count, Sahin says they have more than 400 unique pieces in their inventory.

There are no two rugs the same, as each is woven by hand by different people in different regions of Turkey, and dyed with a plant-based dye individually — unlike chemical dyes which can produce the same exact color in a multitude of items.

Even though all pieces are unique, Sahin says that it is possible for him to look at a carpet and know what region or city it was likely made in by noting a few characteristics.

For example, because not all regions contain all plants from which different color dyes are obtained, knowing which regions have certain plants gives an idea of where that rug might have originated. Also, cities might have a certain motiff or design that is often incorporated into the rugs made in that area.

Sahin says that the double-Turkish knot is very strong, making these rugs stand up well to the test of time.

Also, because organic hand-spun wool keeps its original natural oils, the rugs are easier to clean — mostly needing to be shaken clean once a year. Machine made rugs are synthetic and trap dirt, which means they will not last long.

The rugs have a long history going back a thousand years. They have been considered a good investment choice as less people hand-make them because of the time involved — it can take years to complete one rug — and because of the cost involved in making them. All of the rugs that Sahin sells come with a certificate that lists age and origin.

Thomas Goodwin Gallery is located at 34390 Hwy. 101 S. in Cloverdale. Call 503-329-8345 for more information.

I

n one sense, lots of fishermen see no hurry for fall to creep into our fishing days. In another, many folks are starting to anticipate the arrival of fall rains. On the one hand, the longer the rains hold off, the longer the tidewater fishery for fall Chinook salmon in Pacific City will last. On the other side, lots of folks would like to see the rains come and get the fishing in the Nestucca River started. Either way, we can’t deny that fall and winter will soon be here. It is very evident in the shortened days and the colder nights that something is starting to brew.

We had a cool 41 degrees on the morning of Sept. 15, which is starting to be a little cool for light clothing first thing in the morning. The sunny afternoons are still very warm, and I think we should appreciate and cherish them while we have them. Soon, the warm weather will be nothing more than a fond memory, and it is always a long winter around here before we see those warm days again.

For now, the best game in town is the tidewater fishery in Pacific City.

Recently it has really started to pick up and many are catching some really nice bright Chinooks. I have been informed that the last couple of days at the point, at Robert Straub State Park, on the evening tide, folks were catching some real slabs. (That’s fisherman talk for very large salmon). Some of the biggest fish of the fall were caught at the point over the last couple of evenings.

Nothing much ever changes in tidewater as most fish are caught with bobbers and bait or spinners. Eggs, sand shrimp and Tuna Bellies under a bobber are the go-to bait. A variety of spinners are working, but the top producer is the four-color rainbow blade with a blue tip. These are made with different bead patterns and colors and different tubing colors — fisherman all have their preferences as to which bead and tubing colors they prefer. The one constant is the blue-tip blade.

When the tide is not moving fast, poggies or bait fish can be a real problem. They can suck up eggs and sand shrimp in a hurry and at $32 a quart for

eggs it can get really expensive feeding the bait fish. One way to beat the constant loss of bait to poggies is one, to not fish bait on the slower tides, and, two, switch up your offering. Spinners are obviously a preferred choice, but lots of fishermen have discovered that salmon will also bite well on jigs.

Not the same as steelhead jigs but one designed for salmon with a half-ounce head and larger 5/0 hooks. Lots of different colors work, but, over the last couple of years, I have had success fishing a chartreuse feather with either a chartreuse or black head. My second choice is a bright orange or red feather.

Crabbing remains strong on the ocean and in the bays. Lots of things can be used for bait. Bottom fish carcasses like Seas Bass or Ling Cod are excellent baits. If those baits can’t be had either chicken or turkey legs will suffice. Turkey and chicken are actually better in open crab rings because seals and other Pinipeds don’t care for those baits and will leave your traps alone. Any type of fish in an open ring spells trouble with the seals. Using fish for bait in closed pots works very well as the seals can’t get to the baits to eat them. Crabs once they get inside a pot will continue to eat away your bait.

One way to prevent that is to use what is called a chew bag, a woven nylon bag that keeps the crabs from getting at the bait really helps make your bait last longer.

There seems to be a lot more activity in regards to sea-run cutthroat trout. Often referred to as blue backs, these seasonal trout can be fun to fish for. Larger in size and plentiful this time of year with a distinct blue hue to their backs, these trout come into tidewater in the fall, and, when the time is right, move up the river to spawn.

These trout do not stay in the river year round and return to the ocean after they spawn. In the old days, folks referred to them as harvest trout because their return to the rivers often corresponded to harvest season for farm crops. There are many accounts of farm hands, after a long hot day on the farm, taking an afternoon off to fish for the harvest trout. So whether you call them sea run cuts, blue backs or harvest trout, they are one in the same — just known by different names.

OREGON DEPARTMENT OF FISH & WILDLIFE has announced the all-depth groundfish fishery will reopen on Oct.1 along the Oregon Coast, a fishery that had been closed to protect Yelloweye rockfish.

All-depth groundfish fishery to reopen Oct. 1 The increased use of descending devices by halibut anglers was a key factor in contributing to the decision by fish managers to reopen the all-depth groundfish fishery on Oct. 1.

The recreational groundfish season on the Oregon Coast was closed outside the 20-fathom line July 15 in order to protect Yelloweye rockfish.

“The efforts made by anglers to use the descending device are greatly appreciated and helped us make the decision to reopen the fishery,” said Lynn Mattes, recreational groundfish and halibut program leader. “Our goal was to return the sport groundfish fishery to all-depth in October and because of the use of descending devices, we got there.”

Yelloweye rockfish populations along the west coast were declared overfished in 2002 by the National Marine Fisheries Service, and are managed under a federal rebuilding plan that limits harvest and other impacts, allowing the population to return to a healthy size.

ODFW encourages marine anglers

to release all prohibited rockfish by using a descending device to safely return the fish to depth. Fish that appear severely bloated can survive after being released at depth according to Mattes. This practice also helps keep the fisheries open by reducing the percentage of released fish that fishery managers count as dead.

Using a descending device helps save fish and increases anglers’ fishing opportunities.

There are several types of descending devices that can be purchased at tackle shops. ODFW has distributed some of the devices provided by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission free of charge to help encourage their use, and has a limited number more to hand out at boat ramps and marinas. For more information on rockfish recompression including videos demonstrating how to use descending devices, see www.dfw.state. or.us/MRP/recompression/index.asp.

“Each successful use of a descending device helps lower the mortality on Yelloweye rockfish,” said Mattes.

ODFW Access & Habitat Board seeks applicants ODFW is currently accepting applications for the Chair and a Hunter Representative opening on the statewide Access and Habitat Board. The deadline to apply for both positions is Friday, Oct. 14.

People with an interest and experience in hunting and wildlife conservation are encouraged to apply. Please contact Isaac Sanders at 503-947-6087 or visit www.dfw.state.or.us/lands/AH/ get_involved.asp for application forms and more information.

The Access and Habitat Program is funded by a $4 surcharge on hunting licenses. Funds are distributed through grants to individual and corporate landowners, conservation organizations, and

others for wildlife habitat improvement and projects to provide hunter access throughout the state.

The Board is made up of seven volunteers — three landowner representatives, three hunter representatives, and the Chair — who review and recommend wildlife habitat improvement and hunting access projects to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Board members, who are appointed to four-year terms by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, meet four times each year in various communities throughout the state to review project funding applications, hear public testimony and act as liaisons between the program and the public.
