PACIFIC CITY — A night of edgy rock ‘n roll will set the tone for an effort to help defray the medical bills of Blue Mountain Communications acting coastal supervisor Greg Bomar.

On Saturday, Jan. 29, the Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub will welcome Street Level Devils for a night of rock ‘n roll that will take revelers on a musical journey from the ‘50s through the ‘90s during a benefit concert that will also feature a silent auction and 50-50 raffle to raise money for Bomar.

The evening of fun and goodwill starts at 6 p.m. when attendees start their bidding on items such as vacation getaways, handmade quilts, and gift baskets from area merchants including Twist Wine Co. and Village Merchants.

Proceeds from the donated auction items will benefit Bomar’s medical care as will half the proceeds of the 50-50 raffle. The raffle winner will be awarded the remainder. Tickets are $5 each and go on sale at 6 p.m. Winners to both the silent auction and 50-50 raffle will be announced at 9 p.m. when the Street Level Devils hit the stage.

Cultural Coalition awards $2,500 to Birding and Blues Festival PACIFIC CITY — The Tillamook County Cultural Coalition has awarded the Birding and Blues Festival a $2,500 grant to increase the quality of the annual event’s presenters, field trips and performers, as well as to expand educational opportunities.

Birding and Blues was one of six successful applicants whose projects are being partially funded by TCCC. In total, TCCC has disbursed $7,825 worth of grants.

“This is a wonderful affirmation that what we’re doing with Birding and Blues is a good thing for our area and our community as a whole,” said Festival Chair Jeremy Strober.

Strober said that the money will allow Birding and Blues to continue to

open up parts of the festival for free to the community, as well as to expand their partnership with the Nestucca Valley School District, Neskowin Valley School and other community organizations. He added that the goal is to make educational parts of Birding and Blues better known to the community.

Because the grant accounts for just 25 percent of the Festival’s annual budget, Strober is still looking for individual and corporate sponsors to fill in the gap. In the past, the Festival has been funded approximately half from sponsors and half from registration fees. Currently, the Festival has received $1,250 in sponsorships.

the ‘Devils start mellow with classics from the 50s and get more intense as the group works their way through the decades.

“We start mellow, but we’re pretty much a high octane band,” he said.

Lead guitarist for Street Level Devils Shannon Jones and drummer/vocalist Mike Seed complete the threesome.

Bomar, who also has a home in eastern Washington, had been supervising Blue Mountain’s coastal division since 2005 and called Pacific City home from May 2006 until he learned that he had liver cancer. They had just begun plans to call Pacific City their permanent home when news of the disease rocked their world.

Despite the fact that Bomar and his wife Denise have returned to their home in Eastern Washington, they opted for a benefit at “The Home of the Dory Fleet.”

“People really made us feel welcome,” said Denise. “It’s a wonderful community.

“The Sportsman was our favorite place to have dinner,” she added. “We would still be here today had he not gotten ill.”

Arcade vs. airport?

Airport overlay zone threatens plan to open local youth center

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun PACIFIC CITY — What’s a young kid to do when weather diminishes the fun and games to be found on the area’s beaches and waterways and the dark evenings cancel out the option of heading out to the great outdoors?

Goodman Group LLC has one solution on the table — an arcade that developer Howard Goodman believes could provide a safe place for kids to gather when mother nature holds up a stop sign to outdoor fun.

“I hear it over and over again — there’s still not enough commercial activities in Pacific City and one of the biggest gaps is something to entertain our young people,” said Goodman.

The proposal, which is currently under administrative review by the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, was given a shot in the arm on Jan. 17 when the Pacific City-Woods CPAC voted 16-1 with one abstention to support the conditional use permit request.

The CPAC has forwarded a letter of support to Community Development, who will decide whether to award Wing Ridge the permit, which, if approved, would pave the way for Goodman to renovate his Pacific City office into a 900-plus square foot

arcade that would feature televisions, sofas, video games and possibly a pool table. Though the current building, which sits just west of the fourway stop at 6350 Pacific Avenue, is a 1,200 square foot structure, 295 square feet of the premises sits in the approach portion of the airport overlay zone that allows only one person per 100 square feet. The approach zone extends from the Pacific City airport’s centerline to 100 feet in any direction.

Goodman said that section will have to be set aside for other purposes.

“It’s not going to be just a bunch of (arcade style) games piled up against the wall,” said Goodman. “It will be like walking into someone’s living room.”

Goodman envisions five or six living room-like areas in which teens and young adults can play games on video game systems like the Xbox. While each section will not be completely sealed off from the others, Goodman does plan to erect partitions, which he says will make ideal television mounting points. Goodman plans to have soft drinks available for purchase.

The pricing structure has yet to be established, it will likely either be funded via a cover charge or hourly rental fee.

CHALLENGES TO APPROVAL While a decision is still 1-2 weeks out on the proposal, Community Development Director Butch Parker said that when two competing standards are on the books, Tillamook County goes with the stricter standard. In this case, he said, that would

mean extending the limit to the FAA and Oregon Department of Aviation’s guidelines of 125 feet from the runway’s centerline, which would encompass much of the Goodman building.

While Goodman doesn’t dispute those are the guidelines of the FAA and the Oregon Department of Aviation, he stresses that they are “guidelines.”

“We can explain why it isn’t a compatible use, but the decision is ultimately with the county,” said Sandra Larsen, planning analyst at ODA. “It’s just a guideline. The agency doesn’t have the authority to enforce anything.”

A second point that Parker said had the potential to become an issue is whether a building’s partial presence in the restricted zone should mean the entire building is subject to development restrictions. Larsen said that there were conflicting opinions amongst ODA staff on that determination.

“I don’t think we have anything in writing that says all or nothing, but if a plane hits the building, it’s going to take out the whole thing,” she said.

If Tillamook County Department of Community Development staff do deny the application because of ODA guidelines, Goodman will have the option of appealing to the Tillamook County Planning Commission.

Though Goodman will have to relocate the Wing Ridge office if the proposal goes forward, he says his new office would remain in Pacific City.

Stalking is a crime Stalking is not an act of love, it is a crime.

Our local experience reflects the national trend that many women stalked by an intimate partner are also physically assaulted by that person.

Stalking, violations of restraining orders, harassment and domestic violence assault are common calls for law enforcement.

Victims of stalking can experience anxiety, insomnia, depression and often lose time from work. And young people between 18 and 24 experience the highest rates of stalking.

Stalking is not a joke, it’s not romantic and it’s not okay. Stalking is a crime.

965-9991 food to go

To the Editor: I happen to live on the river pretty much in the middle of town. I have had the maddening experience in the last 24 hours of watching the total disregard of traffic signs.

The signs were the work (time consuming and under less than optimum conditions) of Fire Chief Kris Weiland.

A decision was made a couple of years ago to close Brooten Road officially when water covered the road to the extent that the centerline was obscured. This was a decision made by the head of the Road Department, the Sheriff and Commissioner (Mark) Labhart.

The storm event of Jan. 15, 16 and 17 impacted the county officialdom most heavily. All the rivers of the county were out of their banks, roads had slides and sinkholes and every sort of incident took the attention of one of the responding Departments. Water on Brooten Road was not one of the most important ones — except to the property owners of homes and businesses located there. The Nestucca Valley Fire Department was the one that responded to this situation; Chief Weiland acted with out benefit of barriers to set up “Road Closed” signs. And the people of Pacific City ignored them (almost without exception). They drove through and later around them.

There is a reason (beyond disregard of plain safety) for doing this. The most admirable of these reasons is lack of knowledge to the damage they can do to the abutting properties. Every car and truck creates waves that crash into the structures or their surroundings. It also helps destroy the roadways. I would hope that that was their excuse. This time I had no personal impact. However, I watched the fellow next-door try to clean his parking area beneath his house.

I sincerely hope that everyone who reads this letter knows that I mean you. I also hope that you will think twice the next time this happens and wherever it happens. Because, to paraphrase Smokey the Bear, “Only You Can Prevent Damage.”

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun It is a frequently-held misconception that the town of Woods is so named because of Joe and Mary Woods being the first settlers. The settlement was indeed named for Joe and Mary, who helped plot the town, but Pierre (Peter) and Jean (John) Belleque lived in the area before them and have an interesting family history.

Their father, Pierre Belleque, was a French Canadian trapper sent by the Hudson Bay Company. He settled in the Champoeg area in 1832 and later greeted Father Norbert, the first priest to come to Oregon Country. He and his wife were important leaders in social, religious and economic life in early Oregon and the St. Paul area. They had six children: John, Peter, Gilbert, Gustave, Anna and an orphan girl, Rose Aucent. His wife was Genevieve St. Martin of Sorel, Canada.

Pierre went to the California gold fields in 1849 with his 13-year-old son, Peter and some men from St. Paul.

Before leaving, he made out a will that was the first recorded will in the State of Oregon (Book one, page 1).

Pierre was very successful at finding gold. A story related to Josephine Parker (adopted daughter of Peter) was that on the return voyage from San Francisco, Peter had more than $30,000 worth of gold dust in his pant pocket Photo courtesy of Carol Johnson and when he pulled down his pants THE BELLEQUE FAMILY were the first settlers of Woods. for toilet reasons the dust flew into the ocean. To make matters worse, then Pierre died on board ship from a fever mouth of the Nestucca River until the ground was cool he had contracted in the gold fields. Pierre was buried enough to return.

Tillamook Lightwave working in concert with NVCA PACIFIC CITY — Fresh from a cable landing station property tour with Nestucca Valley Community Alliance board members, Tillamook Lightwave Chair Paul Levesque said TLW remains optimistic about their ability to reach an agreement with NVCA regarding up to half of the 5-plus acre parcel that Lightwave purchased in 2010 to serve as a hub for bringing a fiber optic cable system to South Tillamook County.

NVCA is now in the process of examining zoning regulations to determine what development might be allowed under current Tillamook County regulations.

Recreational uses are amongst the allowed conditional uses of the R-3 zoned property.

With the group beginning to look at what their potential possible uses of the property may be, a crucial step in its effort to obtain

501c3 status, the group was looking for assurance from TLW that they will indeed lease a portion of the property to the group.

However, while he stressed that he was confident that a deal will eventually be worked out, he said it would be premature to sign a memorandum of understanding prior to TLW’s completion of a master plan.

“We need to make sure we’re leaving enough property to meet the community’s need in terms of telecommunication,” said Levesque.

He speculated that perhaps the best way to split the property is to lease the east portion to NVCA. One concept, he said, would be to share a parking lot in the east to west middle of the property and then split the remaining property by leasing the eastern half of the remainder to the Alliance.

Such an arrangement could position

the NVCA to not only build recreational opportunities on a portion of the property, but also provide an ideal spot for the Alliance to integrate with the 75-acre BLM piece that Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority is trying to secure via a land patent.

Even if the BLM is secured, it likely won’t be any time soon. Levesque said in his experience BLM transfers can take at least five years. That said, he noted that keeping in mind how any future development of the BLM property may develop could help inform NVCA’s decision on how they might develop the cable landing station piece. He added that one point to consider is that as the BLM is zoned as forest land, building restrooms and parking on that site is all but impossible without a zone change. And that, he said, would be a difficult task.

Miocene period. At that time, he said, it was on the continental shelf where groundwater cemented fine grained sand into the sandstone we see today.

The sandstone became a shoreline feature thanks to a serious of uplift events that were caused by earthquakes, said Niem.

Scientists are able to pinpoint the date of structures like the one in Pacific City via the presence of fossilized remains of snails, clams, shrimps and other worms.

“You can actually see those preserved in the cross-section,” said Niem.

Cape Kiwanda is part of the Astoria Formation, which stretches from Newport to Astoria and was first mapped in the 1840s. Cape Kiwanda is unique because it has been moved to the surface thanks to geological forces.

“Coastal sea stacks like (the one in Pacific City) are attacked by storm waves,” said Rob Witter, regional coastal geologist at Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. “It may be that the high waves and winter storms have attacked it to where it has finally failed.”

Oregon State Parks Cape Lookout Park Manager Pete Marvin said that the incident points to the importance of beach-goers using caution when playing around beach cliffs.

“Anywhere there’s a cliff on the coast you have the danger of debris falling,” said Marvin. “There’s miles and miles of cliffs falling — where you have a cliff you have the opportunity for rocks or slides. It’s just one of those things you have to be aware of when on the coast or on the beach.”

In Recital

PACIFIC CITY — One of the most photogenic features of Pacific City collapsed to a pile of rubble when the sea arch located north of Cape Kiwanda succumbed to the forces of mother nature. The failure happened in the days preceding Jan. 24, but as of press time, the Sun was unable to pinpoint the exact date of the collapse.

The arch was located just north of Pacific City’s dune. Visitors can access the site either by traversing around the dune or approaching from McPhillips Beach, which is about a half mile north of Cape Kiwanda.

What Pacific City gets in return is what geologists term a sea stack, which are formed when arches collapse. Normally, sea stacks are off-shore features but in this case the structure isn’t surrounded by water — at least not at low tide.

Oregon State University retired professor of geology Alan Niem said that it’s part of the normal process that attacks coastal headlands such as the ones in Pacific City. He said that waves typically whip up sand which carries tremendous erosional force and creates sea caves over time. From there, a sea cave is created. Sea caves gradually give way to the creation of a sea arch — especially where the wind, waves and sand can attack from opposite sides.

“Eventually the arch becomes enlarged over time until it can no longer support the arch and it collapses,” said Niem.

According to Niem, the marine sandstone structure that makes up the formation of Cape Kiwanda was created 20-24 million years ago during the

Developer seeks reimbursement TILLAMOOK — In a letter to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, developer John DeJong has announced plans to reapply for a destination resort adjacent the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, but first he is seeking renumeration for fees paid on his previous application, which was declared null and void on Nov. 1.

In his letter, DeJong said he does not feel Tillamook County gave his previous application an equivalent amount of “effort and time” to warrant the approximately $14,000 worth of fees paid. But Community Development Director Butch Parker said that his department had spent a significant amount of time with the developer in a series of meetings surrounding the proposal. He said that when it comes to destination resorts, the county policy is to require application fees upfront and to not issue refunds whether or not the application completes the normal process.

Tapping into a brain trust Chamber mulls adding car show to list of 2011 events CLOVERDALE —For the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, the easy part — brainstorming ideas for the coming year — is done and now it’s time to roll up the sleeves and get to work.

The Chamber heard from several members and concerned citizens during the group’s annual “brainstorming night” on Thursday, Jan. 20 at the Hudson House B&B. Amongst the ideas tossed out were adding new events such as a car show and working in concert with businesses and organizations to encourage the development of community outreach programs.

One item currently on the 2011 schedule is the return of the Harlem Ambassadors, whose 2009 appearance brought about $5,000 into the Chamber’s coffers.

Some wondered however about the wisdom of the time framing. The currently proposed dates are Nov. 8 or 9, but Chamber administrative assistant Teresa DuChene-Morris said that she has heard from a few community members who worry that such a late date takes valuable Chamber volunteers away from the work needed for the annual awards banquet and silent auction, which is held in early December.

Chamber President Jeremy Strober acknowledged the concern saying getting enough volunteer help to put on events is a perennial issue.

Thoughts on how to combat a dwindling volunteer base centered on boosting membership.

“Reciprocal members with the Tillamook Chamber is a terrific idea,” said Patty Olson. “What about Lincoln City?

Every time I go in there, they (say they) are impressed with us.”

Another strategy, she added, would be to reach out to the other Chamber communities, which include Beaver, Hebo and

Neskowin.

The U.S. Forest Service in Hebo, and neighboring Boy Scouts troops were mentioned as possible groups that could be targeted as organizations the Chamber could develop partnerships with.

Most agreed that without an influx of volunteers, it would be difficult to add any new Chamber event in 2011.

That said, one idea was to look to local businesses to sponsor new events.

One example that some hoped would be replicated is the Follow the Balloons treasure hunt, which is put on by Jaci Voegeli of Pacific City Real Estate and Laura Rech of Craftsman Bed & Breakfast.

Originally started by the now defunct Pacific City Association, the event features a treasure map that sends participants to local businesses and is held the Saturday before Easter. It is partially sponsored by the Chamber, but Rech and Voegeli are the workhorses.

Many in the group showed considerable interest to Nestucca Valley Sanitary owner Paul Carbaugh’s idea of debuting a car show.

A car enthusiast, Carbaugh said he’d like to see an event that would not only attract “car people” but also be a magnet that would draw people from the community to walk and talk with car owners.

“That’s what car people like,” said Carbaugh, who agreed to lead a committee to investigate the possibility of adding such a show.

Challenges in bringing a car show to Pacific City include finding a suitable location and date for the event.

“The challenge in having it in the summer is we don’t really need another summer event,” said Strober.

With that in mind, Carbaugh said September is a good month to have a car show. There was some general agreement that such a date could be a good fit as it would fall in between the crowds that hit the area in the summer and the international jet ski competition that hits Tierra del Mar in early October.

In general, many supported the idea of holding differing events that either

attracted tourists into the community or brought out local residents for a gathering.

While some attending the brainstorming session wanted to see more civicminded activities such as the sponsorship of a dental van and increased workforce training, others voiced concerns over too much emphasis on the flip side of the Chamber’s mission — that of contributing to the community’s civic needs.

Michelle Taylor, who works as sales and marketing manager for Serv-Pro, said that perhaps the Chamber should focus on the promotion branch with renewed vigor.

She said that while she totally supports the importance of civic activities, she has to explain to her boss the value of paying Chamber dues.

“I need to show bang for the buck,” she said. “(If you concentrate on civic activities), you’re going to have some kickback from businesses.”

Taylor added that one way the Chamber could show a renewed interest in business promotion is to bring in more business-focused speakers during their monthly meetings at Pelican Pub & Brewery, which are held the first Tuesday of the month at noon.

There was also support for a more wide distribution of the Chamber’s business directory.

“We should market the area to draw in new business and to market the area as a tourist attraction,” said Mike Rech, owner/operator of Craftsman Bed & Breakfast.

Many participants echoed this, noting that marketing statewide could bring more business to the area. Amongst the avenues discussed to make the Pacific City area more known was pushing the Oregon Coast Visitor’s Association for greater attention to South Tillamook County. There was also significant interest in reaching out to Portland media to see if it is possible to get the area featured more regularly.

Fry-Matson honored as Tillamook County’s top historian TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook County Historical Society honored Sandlake resident Ruby Fry-Matson as “Tillamook County Historian of the Year,” during the group’s annual dinner on Jan. 24.

Historial Society President Sally Rissel said Fry-Matson was singled out because of her 13-plus years at Tillamook Pioneer Museum where she is in charge of the research library. The Society also recognized Don Best and Karla Steinhaus-

Rissel said that the Pioneer Museum is a gold mine for historians, but it’s Fry-Matson that is the one that so ably directs patrons to the treasure trove of information. Amongst

the resources she has mastery of are vertical files, an enormous library of books, old newspapers, microfiche, old phone books and the vital subscription-based internet resource at www.ancestry.com.

“She’s the person that heads us to the right direction,” said Rissel.

“It’s such an honor — especially from this group of people,” said a surprised Fry-Matson. “It’s really fun to help people do family research and help them learn more about their past.”

Trapping defense dooms ‘Cats

(at Nestucca Bay) Date

AFTER SEEMINGLY HAVING RIVERDALE’S number in the first half of a Jan. 25 league contest, the Bobcats (3-7 in league play) had no answer for the Maverick’s second-half trapping defense, losing a close game 52-49. The girls faired no better as Riverdale easily defeated the Lady ‘Cats 53-25.

And Jan. 27 contests vs. the Portland Christian Royals offered more of the same. The boys were defeated 50-31 while the Lady ‘Cats struggled in a 52-18 loss. The Bobcats next return to action on Saturday, Jan. 29 when Gaston visits Nestucca.

TBCC strikes deal with Nestucca for new campus

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun CLOVERDALE — Tillamook Bay Community College has agreed to construct a 2,400 square foot satellite campus on the grounds of Nestucca Valley Jr./Sr. High School with funds raised via a 2007 general obligation bond measure.

The building had previously been delayed because the college does not have adequate personnel to staff additional classrooms, but after several discussions with the Nestucca Valley School District, it was determined that the building could be run efficiently with current staff that are already teaching classes at Nestucca High School and via distant-learning technology.

Currently, TBCC staff are teaching two college-level writing classes and a literature class in Nestucca High classrooms.

Nestucca Jr./Sr. High Principal Randy Wharton said that the building will be erected on the southwestern part of the school’s campus where two tennis courts that are in unusable condition now sit. The school will retain one tennis court, which Wharton said is in good condition. Though the site currently serves as an overflow parking location during home football games, Wharton said that sufficient — and more convenient — parking exists on the softball field adjacent the football field.

“I don’t think that putting a building there is going

to cause much of an issue,” he said.

TBCC hopes to begin construction by late May or early June, but that date depends on how quickly they are able to secure permits through the Tillamook County Office of Community Development.

Once complete, the satellite campus will house two classrooms, as well as a set of restrooms. Nestucca Jr./ Sr. High will be allowed use of the classrooms when college classes are not in session. Wharton said the classrooms will be “loaded with technology” and will most likely feature between 25 and 30 computer stations. It all adds up to a season of hope for tomorrow’s students.

“I would like to be able to say that one of our students graduated not only with a diploma from us, but also an associate’s degree from Tillamook Bay. That’s happened a couple of times in Tillamook,” said Wharton.

TBCC had previously considered either siting the new building where the school bus barn now sits or at the overflow parking lot that sits just below Nestucca’s main parking pad. The bus barn site was ruled as lacking adequate space and requiring excessive money to complete and the overflow site was deemed not workable because of an overhanging power line. Wharton said that statutes do not allow for power lines to be that close to a building’s roofline.

The two schools will next meet on Feb. 27 to discuss additional details.
