In Support of the Improvements

Commissioner approve EDC’s list of nine recommended TLT projects, add partial funding for one more — the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access Improvment By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

illamook County Commissioners gave their stamp of approval to the top-ranked applications for the Tourism Lodging Tax-funded grant program for tourist-related facilities during a Sept. 23 meeting at Tillamook County Courthouse. As part of a motion made by a vacationing Commissioner Tim Josi, who participated by phone, the commissioners voted 3-0 to support the recommendations by both the Economic Development Council and the EDC’s advisory group, the Tourism Advisory Council. As a result, the top nine applications, as ranked by the TAC, will be funded. Those projects are: Kilchis Point bathrooms, Port of Garibaldi Visitor Booth, Manzanita Visitor Center, Bay City Arts Center parking, NRCD auditorium seats, Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, Latimer Quilt Center building repair, Rockaway Beach Nature Reserve Plan, and the City of Garibaldi meeting space. In total, the winning applications were awarded $450,258. Falling short of the $450,000 set aside for this first round of tourismrelated facility grants were the ADAbathrooms for TAPA, the Port of Garibaldi Heritage Plan, and the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access Improvement. EDC vice-chair Doug Olson told commissioners during their business meeting that the EDC and TAC recommendations serve as a milestone, one that will result in $450,000 being reinvested in the county. Those remarks followed an earlier explanation by Olson during the commissioner’s workshop when he described the process as one that worked well, despite the criticism it’s received from some. “We have good citizens who are thoughtful, who took an immense amount of time, took (the applications) home, did their homework (and) ended up with some rankings,” Olson said about the TAC’s efforts. “Not everybody agreed, but I don’t know how you get nine thoughtful, educated, caring people to agree on agree on anything other than the time of day. We have a consensus, and I think it does make sense. We’re going to put almost a half million dollars back in the community in the next few weeks.” Despite finishing last in the rankings, all was not lost for the beach access project at Cape Kiwanda. Josi, who has been chairing a multi-agency group that’s been looking at safety, access, garbage and traffic issues at the popular beach spot, made a motion to award $50,000 for planning and permitting the project with the expectation that an application would be resubmitted for the second round of grants. Visit Tillamook Coast begin accepting applications for the second round, which will have at least $350,000 up for grabs, on Oct. 1. There is a possibility that additional funds may be made available through a supplemental budget should receipts come in higher than budgeted, as is anticipated.

“This summer we discovered that the situation at Pacific City is reaching what I would call crisis proportions because of the level of activity along the beach, in the parking area and on Cape Kiwanda Drive,” Josi said about the importance of moving that project forward with the goal of it getting it fully funded in the next round. “It’s getting to the point where traffic is having a hard time moving, and, in terms of getting to the beach, it’s almost impossible — or very, very difficult. Fire and rescue services are greatly impaired, which really lends itself to a crisis according to the way I see it.” He added that without funding now to get the project through the permitting stage, it would be difficult to have the project done in time for the 2016 tourist season. And that likely wouldn’t have been popular with residents such as Sean Carlton, owner of Twist Wine Co. and a key member of the Cape Kiwanda group, who suggested that, at either the TAC or commissioner level, projects should establish a project criteria based on need. “We have some major infrastructure deficiencies in this county, and, it would seem to me, to be appropriate to somehow find a way to include a need basis for that selection criteria,” he said. He also further pointed to problems in the current system, writing the following in a letter addressed to Commissioner Baertlein: “I have...serious concerns about the marginalization of the Pacific CityWoods area in regards to the ability of it to access tourism related funds. While I understand the decisions you have made have been difficult, they nonetheless have resulted in an unfair disadvantage to the Pacific City-Woods community. First, the decision was made to give incorporated communities a credit of up to nine percent of the tax they collect. Second, the decision was made that only government entities could apply for facilities grants, and of course Pacific City is unincorporated. Third, the facilities grant criteria established by the EDC and TAC place an emphasis on a definition of tourism as an increase in the number of visitors as opposed to an increase in tourism dollars. Lastly, and this is the big one, the criteria do not in any way address need.” Commissioners ultimately voted 2-1 to award the requested $50,000 to the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access Improvement Project. Commissioner Mark Labhart voted against the proposal saying that he felt that went against the process put into place in which the TAC makes recommendations to the EDC and the EDC, in turn, to commissioners. “In selecting TAC members, this Board went out of its way to ensure broad geographical representation and broad interests all across Tillamook County,” he added. “The Board of Commissioners also set up the TAC process to ensure that the public had a role in recommending how to allocate

Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • October 2, 2015

TLT funds for tourism-related facilities as well as promotion...The only way I would disagree with the TAC recommendation and the EDC recommendation is if I saw something that was not in line with the Board Order or was illegal in some other way. To circumvent the recommendation of the TAC and the EDC Board and move a project that was scored last in the TAC ranking up ahead of two other projects is disingenuous to the work of the TAC and the EDC’s (concurrent) recommendation.” Josi, on the other hand, said he thought the motion was being true to the process. “The buck stops with us,” he said. “We make the final decision...We do have discretion to alter a recommendation. We’re only making a very minor alteration. We’re accepting the TAC and EDC recommendations and then adding some additional monies (for the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access project). Baertlein, who also supported the additional allocation, recalled that, in selling the tax to Pacific City voters, it was promised that tax receipts would be used to help solve safety issues at Cape Kiwanda. “Somehow, we need to find a way to honor that promise.” But that issue was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Baertlein’s concerns about the way the TLT is being handled. “When I look at the projects, I see no cohesive strategy or strategic plan for spending the funds,” he said. “We have taken a shotgun approach to getting our infrastructure updated so that we can provide our guests a clean and safe place to enjoy our area. We need a scoped approach to really fix the problems and our grant process does not lend itself to fulfilling this need... “I don’t believe that these problems can be fixed by just tinkering with the grant process,” Baertlein added. “My background as a certified public accountant...led me to believe that the TLT should be managed as a Department of Tillamook County with a department head, Nan Devlin, (operating) the department in the same manner as the road (public works) department. Liane (Welch) is the department head and has a Road Advisory Committee to vet which roads are repaired. The BOCC sets the leadership on larger projects. We can and should do the same with the TLT Department.” The idea of investigating converting the grant process to a county department received support from Commissioner Josi. “I’ve been hearing rumblings for some time about bias and it’s very, very troubling,” Josi said. “This is a ranking system. Ranking systems only happen appropriately if there are no biases. We can’t say for sure there are biases, but, from my perspective, there (are) indications that there (are). I agree with Bill that we ought to start talking about making this a county department. I don’t know whether we’ll get there, but we at least need to start the discussion.”

acing a Nov. 3 decision on whether to pay for a planned improvement to the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority wastewater treatment plant via property taxes or user fees, community members peppered Authority representatives with a variety of questions ranging from capacity of the new plant to the reliability of the upgrade during a community meeting on Sept. 24. The upgrade has been identified as necessary because PCJWSA has received fines from Photo by Tim Hirsch DEQ for being out of compliance.

Spotlight

Looking for Some Help By VERNE MOBLEY Hooray! Summer continues into fall! We are ready for these fall and winter events and projects. At our Sept. 24 Chamber board meeting, we learned that the plans to redo the road from Cape Kiwanda down to the beach have been set back. Very disappointing! This HAS to get done for the SAFETY of our fishermen and anyone who uses that access. It seems the powers that be don’t agree with us South County folks. That would be the TAC, and the EDC. Two of our County Commissioners did step up to help with the problem. Well, enough about that for now. The board discussed needs for membership of the Chamber as well as additional board members. Our president Merrianne Hoffman has indicated she will not be president another year. There are so many good people in our community who would be great board members or just great members. We sincerely hope people step up to do this. We are discussing the possibility of reopening a staffed Visitor Center in Pacific City. This will depend on receiving TLT funds. At the same meeting, we discussed our annual banquet and the Christmas tree lighting events in Cloverdale and Pacific City. The banquet is planned for Tuesday, Dec. 8, Cloverdale’s tree lighting will be Dec. 4 and Pacific City’s Dec. 12. Because of the banquet, there will be no membership meeting in December. More details on these next month. Our October meeting will be next Tuesday, the 6th. Connie Green, president of Tillamook Bay Community College, will be our speaker. She will update us on the expected impact of recent state legislation on college fees and exciting new programs at the College. Dates to remember each month: regular lunch meeting at the Pelican Pub at noon on the first Tuesday; and board meeting on the fourth Thursday at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda. Y’all come.

Defending the Duties of OPAC By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

t the very least, you’ve got to follow your own rules. That’s the message behind a lawsuit against the Department of Land Conservation and Development brought forth by South Tillamook County residents Charles Ciecko and David Yamamoto. Central to the case is a Jan. 24, 2013 6-1 vote by DLCD, in which that group’s board adopted Land Conservation and Development Commission staff recommendations for revisions to the Territorial Sea Plan instead of those offered — with much public input — from the Ocean Policy Advisory Council. Though much of the adopted policy did, indeed, concur with OPAC, there were, reportedly, important differences — including designating a 2.1 square mile site south of the Nestucca River as a Renewable Energy Facility Suitability Study Area, the least restrictive of six designations allowing ocean energy development. The petitioners’ assertion is that Oregon law insists that should LCDC or DLCD not concur with OPAC, they are to send the revisions back for further review. The decision of DLCD to adopt the LCDC staff report rather than the one put forth by OPAC still has co-petitioner David Yamamoto scratching his head. “All along the legislature has said that it’s going to be OPAC’s responsibility because OPAC has input from local residents and county commissioners,” Yamamoto told the Sun. “What the legislature, I feel, has been saying over the years is that, yes, Department of Land Conservation and Development has a responsibility to make sure ocean policy is protecting Oregon’s interest, but those changes that they consider have to come from a bottom-up type process. They can’t do that by making these rules and regulations themselves. I feel they’ve given this responsibility to OPAC.” Though the suit dates back to 2013, it has now taken an important step forward in the legal system. Recently an Amicus brief from Oregon’s coastal counties — and another submitted by three submarine cable organizations — was filed with the court. More commonly known as friend-of-the-court briefs, these documents offer legal opinions from those with a strong interest in a case, but not a party to it. Written by Lincoln County and penned at their expense, the county brief has been supported by all other coastal counties in Oregon. Central to the document is testimony backing up petitioners assertions that LCDC overstepped their bounds when they did not either concur with OPAC or send their recommendations back for further review. The counties asserted that “an improper rulemaking process was followed by LCDC.” Amongst the reasons the counties cite is that “procedural policies, recommended by OPAC, ... preclude LCDC from making its own amendments to the plan, independent of the OPAC recommendations.” And the cable industry brief concurred. Their brief says the following: “The amendments to Part 5 of Oregon’s TSP recommended by the DLCD and adopted by the LCDC omitted at the very last minute key language proposed

by OPAC for inclusion in the TSP amendments. As Petitioners discuss at length in their brief, the adoption by the DLCD and LCDC of revised Part 5 amendments without sending the revisions back to OPAC for review and approval violated ORS 196.471 and contradicted years of established procedure for amending Oregon’s TSP.” Further, the cable industry brief noted that OPAC’s recommendations provided “that ‘applications for new marine renewable energy facilities in propriety use and management areas will not be accepted by regulating agencies unless the use is legally permissible, complies with the authorized use of the area, and has been agreed to by the authorized users,’ including authorized operators of submarine fiber-optic cables. LCDC rejected this language in its amendment to Part 5 of the TSP.” Speaking at the Sept. 30 Lincoln County Board of County Commissioners meeting, Lincoln County Counsel Wayne Belmont, who authored the county brief, explained the importance of the support offered by the Amicus briefs. “The concern for us is we (have) to have confidence in the process for ocean planning,” Belmont said. “We have in the past. The original Territorial Sea Plan — all the elements in the plan that deal with a variety of issues — have run through this OPAC process, this legislatively mandated requirement to go through this process. This one didn’t do it. It really challenges the trust we have in the process, and we need to make sure that (the OPAC) role is preserved.” Despite the fact that these briefs are filed, the suit still has a long road ahead. Newport attorney David Allen, who is representing Yamamoto and Ciecko, also appeared at Lincoln County’s Board of Commissioner meeting, telling the board that it could be a two-year process to a decision. “Now that the amicus briefs have been filed, (DLCD) has an opportunity to file their answering brief,” Allen said. “Hopefully that will be done by the first of the year or soon thereafter. We may have a chance to apply for a reply brief. Formal argument is usually scheduled six months after the briefs are filed. We’re probably looking at next summer to look at oral argument. It then will take up to a year after the oral argument for the court of appeals to render a decision.” Allen also spelled out what the goal of the legal action is. “What we’re asking for is two things,” Allen told the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. “First, we want the court to invalidate (the adopted amendment). If they invalidate it, it goes back to (DLCD). The preferred outcome is for the agency, based on the courts reasoning, to adopt OPAC’s recommendation, which is what the agency has done historically with every other OPAC recommendation, which has either adopted a Territorial Sea Plan or amended it.” If that doesn’t happen, he said he would be looking for the process to go back to OPAC for them to do “further work as required under statute...before they make a final adoption.”

TAC, EDC to consider marketing grants The Tillamook County Tourism Advisory Committee will review and score applications for the first phase of tourism marketing and promotion grants during a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at Tillamook Bay Community College. The TAC rankings will then be presented to the Economic Development Council on Oct. 20 for funding approval. In this first phase of tourism marketing and promotions grants, available to non-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and for-profit businesses, six applications were received, all deemed complete and eligible by county legal counsel.

Applications received include three from for-profits organizations: Lucky Bear Soap of Tillamook, Three Arch Inn of Oceanside, and Scovel Racing; and three from non-profit/not-for profit groups: Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, Twin Rocks Friends Camp, and Association of Northwest Steelheaders. Because the complete amount requested totaled slightly more than $30,000 — $20,000 shy of the $50,000 available — the remainder will be rolled over into the second phase of marketing and promotion grants, which now has $70,000 available.

PCJWSA hosts open house, facility tour The Pacific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority will host an open house and facility tour on Saturday, Oct. 17, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in an effort to educate the community about PCJWSA’s planned upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant. Due to being out of DEQ compliance, officials say the plant must be upgraded to avoid ever-increasing fees from DEQ. The USDA Rural Development program has promised PCJWA $10.66 million in a combination loan/grant package, but a preliminary engineer’s report has estimated the project’s cost at $11.5 million. PCJWSA’s board has approved up to that amount in indebtedness and now it’s up to the voters, who will be given the chance to give the PCJWSA board authority to fund — partially or in full — the upgrade via property taxes. If that measure fails, the upgrade will be financed via user fees.

The 17th annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Contest, held Sept. 18-20, at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, started competition on Saturday, Sept. 19 with chesthigh glassy waves, enabling contestants to show off their surfing skills. Event activities included a Friday evening registration party featuring the Bob Marley Tribute Band. The event concluded on Sunday, which dawned with semi-foggy conditions, with the finals and awards. In between there was plenty of surfing, a Brewfest, and an after-competition Saturday night party, during which the audience danced to the Retroactive Gamma Rays. Taking first place in the Men’s 60+ category was Ray Benner, second was Bill Finley, and third was Pete Cochran. Charlene Mercer placed first in the Women’s category, Muira Cole second, and Olivia Schroeder placed third. In the Young Men 13-17 heat, Theo Hollen received first place, Christian Audova won second, and third place went to Jonee Wright. The Men’s 50-59 category saw Ben Cockcroft take first place, Gary Hopez second, and Jeffrey Cooper third. First place in Men’s 30-39 was captured by Matt Spencer, Nathan Smith nabbed second, and Ollie Richardson took third place. Justin Snodgrass placed first in the Men 18-29 category, Deklyn Wood took second, and Max Camron placed third. For the kids 12 and under competition, boys first place went to Kai Huggin with Tyler Quillian capturing first for the girls. Brody Winger took first in the kids with parent contest, Avery Snavely second, and Marley Snavely third. The contest doubled as a fundraiser for the construction of the planned Pacific City Skatepark. The donation amount raised was not available at press time.

CHEST HIGH GLASSY WAVES awaited competitors ready to show off their surfing prowess during the first rounds of the 17th annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, held Sept. 18-20, in Pacific City. Semifoggy conditions during the finals round the third day didn’t deter the surfers from showcasing their best efforts either.

NEWS&COMMUNITY School Board hopes to win seismic retrofit grant for Nestucca Valley Elementary By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

t the Sept. 28 meeting of the Nestucca Valley School District board, Superintendant David Phelps presented an opportunity for board consideration created by $175 million that the State Legislature has set aside to ensure State schools are seismically sound. Funds will be distributed in the form of grants, and unlike many others, the seismic retrofit grants will not require the recipients to come up with matching funds. However, there is still a step that will mean an initial cash outlay. “In order to get a grant, schools are required to submit a preliminary engineering report that typically costs between ($5,000 and) $10,000,” Phelps said. “We won’t know what the exact amount will be until the engineers are finished reviewing the building.” Phelps said the likely candidate to perform the study is ZCS Engineering, who have done similar studies for schools along the coast including Toledo High School, which resulted in the seismic retrofitting of the gym. If awarded the grant, the money spent on the study, formally called a Building Assessment and Seismic Evaluation, can be written into the grant to reimburse the school. “Given that we are responsible for a school that opened in 1951 (Nestucca Elementary) I would infer that

that building has not gone through a seismic review or any stabilization based on the current standards that we have,” said Phelps. “Since the High School was retrofitted in 2007, it likely would not need any additional work.” The funds come under the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, which was initiated by Oregon Emergency Management to fund earthquake retrofitting and seismic upgrade efforts for schools, higher-education institutions, and emergency services buildings. There are two cycles for the grant process, the first opens Oct. 10 and closes Dec. 31, where $50 million will be awarded. “If we decide to go with ZCS, we can decide which cycle we can apply in,” Phelps said. The notices for the schools chosen in the first grant cycle will go out at the end of February. The next grant cycle is the following year, and the final $125 million will be distributed. “If you’re not chosen the first time you can resubmit in the second cycle,” said Phelps. After a brief period of discussion, the board voted unanimously to dedicate funds up to $10,000 for the study and to move forward with the grant application process. “If nothing else, we will end up with a document that lets us know where we are structurally for the future, which is not a bad thing to have,” Phelps said after the vote was recorded.

rom the thrill of hitting the open ocean to the tranquility of mastering boat handling skills in the flatwater of Nestucca Bay, the Lumpy Waters Sea Kayak Symposium has something to tempt paddlers of all persuasions. Returning Oct 16-18 to Pacific City for its 7th annual event, Lumpy Waters features three-days of skill building, camaraderie, and fun. World-class coaching will be aimed at advanced beginners, early intermediates and advanced level sea paddlers as kayakers from across the globe set out to improve their skills in the picturesque setting of Cape Kiwanda, the Nestucca River Estuary and other nearby coastal paddling spots. “The opportunities for skill building are fabulous because we bring in coaches from all over the world,” says event organizer Paul Kuthe. “The mix of knowledge they have is really special.” Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe in Portland, Oregon introduced the event in 2009. Since then, owners Dave Slover and Suzi Elle, and Program Manager Paul Kuthe have taken the event to unex-

pected heights by selling out the available spaces each year. The event employs 41 coaches and attracts approximately 100 students. With a mission of creating a student-centered symposium that promotes the excitement and accessibility of rough- and calm-water sea paddling while providing the skills necessary to be safe and have fun, Alder Creek hopes to grow not just their business but the sport as a whole. “The coach-to-student ration is phenomenal,” added Kuthe. Classes in this year’s symposium range from learning the Eskimo roll to sea cave expeditions, navigation and seamanship to long and short boat surfing, and learning precise boat control to rough water rescues. Included in this year’s top coaches, who are traveling to the event from all over the globe are Christopher Lockyer, Nick Cunliffe, Rob Yates, Helen Wilson, of Aracata, California; and Kuthe. For a complete list of classes for the 2015 symposium or to register, visit www.lumpywaters.com. “One of our new offerings is a land-based class where we focus on the paddler’s mind,” Kuthe said. “It will teach methods and techniques for dealing with

controlling fear and being confident — getting into the psychology of kayaking.” Safety is another component that Kuthe says Alder Creek spends lots of time focusing on. “One of the best challenges is having enough safety measures that if we do get people challenging themselves and having an out-of-boat experience, we can pick up the pieces and keep everyone safe. We call and coordinate with dispatch facilities like the Coast Guard, fire and police so that we have a second layer of redundant support. In addition, he says organizers seek to spread the classes out geographically to keep paddlers from infringing on other ocean users such as fishers and surfers. Still, there’s more to this event than honing the art of paddling. Kuthe said another highlight is the camaraderie evident between participants after the boats and paddles are put away. “It’s a fun, festival atmosphere,” he says. “(Participants) are there learning, but all the while, for the most part, they feel like they’re on a paddling vacation. We do our best to make sure people are having a good time. It ends up being a celebration of the sea.”

material in Yachats, The Beach & Riverside Cleanup began in 1984 as “The Plague of Plastics” after Oregonians Judie Hansen and Eleanor Dye were inspired to rid the state’s beaches of litter. In the first year alone, volunteers removed 26 tons of trash. Three decades later, the event has expanded to include inland litter cleanups and watershed restoration projects across the state and has served as a cleanup model that has spread across the nation and throughout the world. Today, the success of this event is due in large part to the dedicated coordinators and beach captains that step up to lead projects throughout the state. “This event is truly inspiring because it starts with Oregonians noticing a problem in their local neighborhood, park or beach and wanting to make a difference,” said Joy Irby, SOLVE Program Coordinator. “If it weren’t for local citizens and all of our volunteer leaders and sponsors, this event would not be possible.” SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship.

Volunteers clear 55,000 pounds of trash during SOLVE Cleanup

Literary Classics recently announced that local author Anne Sweazy-Kulju’s historical novel, “Grog Wars,” will receive the Literary Classics Seal of Approval. The CLC Seal of Approval is a designation reserved for those books that uphold the criteria set forth by the Literary Classics review committee, a team comprised of individuals with backgrounds in publishing, editing, writing, illustration and graphic design. Set in the wild west, “Grog Wars” follows adventure seeker Burke Kaufman, a young German who has been sent by his father to America to expand the family business. Burke’s father and another man, who has fallen on hard times financially, arrange for their son and daughter to marry. After crossing the Atlantic by ship, they traverse the Oregon Trail and

More than 5,000 dedicated volunteers came out in force Sept. 19 to remove trash and improve Oregon’s environment as part of the annual SOLVE Beach & Riverside Cleanup, presented by the Oregon Lottery. Four project sites in South Tillamook County — the Sand Lake OHV riding area, Cape Kiwanda/Pelican Pub, WiNe-Ma Wayside, and Neskowin Beach Wayside — hosted their own army of volunteers. The event was also part of the International Coastal Cleanup and National Public Lands Day. This year, an estimated 55,000 pounds of trash and marine debris were collected from more than 110 project sites including beaches, rivers, neighborhoods, parks, and natural areas across the state. Invasive, nonnative plants were cleared from nearly three acres of natural area. “The Oregon Lottery does good things and with the help of SOLVE and thousands of dedicated Oregonians throughout the state, we worked together to help make our state a better place to live, work, and play,” said Mark Strickler, Oregon Lottery’s senior marketing communication manager and SOLVE volunteer. The most common items found during the event were tiny bits of plastic, cigarette butts, fishing rope, glass bottles and plastic bottles. Interesting items found by volunteers included a large discarded barbecue at Seaside, a remote controlled airplane near Humbug Mountain State Park, and more than 500 pounds of construction

The ‘State of the Bays,’ set for Oct. 9-10, will feature a Friday presentation, Saturday hikes

here’s plenty happening down by the riverside — and bayside, too! Tillamook Estuaries Partnership will host their third “State of the Bays” celebration, a two-day event set for Oct. 9-10 featuring a Friday evening presentation, followed by a Saturday filled with educational outdoor field trips, including two excursions in the South Tillamook County area. The event starts at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9 with an evening reception during which TEP and its partners will discuss and share work being done in Tillamook County estuaries and watersheds. The open house event will showcase many projects by TEP and its partners, as well as information on local conservation projects, water quality issues and efforts to improve fisheries through habitat restoration. Light refreshments will be provided. The event moves to the field on Saturday, Oct 10, with outdoor experiences that organizers say will highlight on-the-ground, in-process work that supports TEP’s mission of conserving and restoring Tillamook County’s estuaries and watersheds in their entirety. The outdoor tours will explore the pathways of wetland and woodlands and offer a chance for participants to learn the history and stewardship of these natural environments and habitats. Because space is limited, TEP encourages RSVPs as the trips are quickly filling up. Amongst the trips will be two trips near Pacific City, both starting at 10 a.m. “Creating a Sense of Place,” is a two-hour hike of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services’s Two Rivers Peninsula, a recent addition to the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Led by TEP, USFWS and the Nestucca, Neskown and Sand Lake Watersheds Council,

this trip will offer a glimpse at work that’s underway that will transform this former Jesuit retreat into an area open to public use. Currently, the area is only open to guided hikes. According to organizers, this site features one of the Oregon Coast’s premiere sites to observe healthy estuarine habitat. The hike will also give participants a chance to learn about current USFWS plans for a network of trails in the refuge along with information about other nearby restoration projects underway in South Tillamook County. Field trip participants should meet at the lower parking lot of the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge and bring a warm wind-proof jacket, plenty of water and comfortable shoes. The hike is moderately difficult. “Conservation in Action,” will be the second South Tillamook County area hike featured and will feature a tour of Beltz Farm and the Sand Lake Estuary. This one-hour hike will be led by an Oregon Parks & Recreation Department botanist and will address topics such as estuary ecology, local plants and animals and current assessments of the property, acquired by OPRD in 2014. The 357-acre property was formerly Betlz Farm and includes critical coastal habitats along the Sand Lake Estuary. Additional field trips include Neahkahnie Creek Restoration (10 a.m.noon), The Confluence of Restoraton and Flood Mitigation (9 a.m.-11 a.m.), TEP’s Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership and Backyard Planting Program (1-3 p.m.), Netarts Bay WEBS Geology Tour (2:30-5:30 p.m.), and Educaton along the Woodland & Wetland Trails at Kilchis Point Reserve (9-11 a.m.) For more information or to pre-register for any of these tours, visit www.tbnep.org or call 503-322-2222.

Turkey Shoot on the way By VERNE MOBLEY Lion Membership Chairman

Lions from the Nestucca Valley Lions Club just keep Roaring Right Along!” Lion Lea Traxler attended a zone meeting at Rockaway last week and came to our next meeting excited about Lionism and with lots of good info for all of us. Thanks, Lea!! At this meeting, 1st VP Corrine Paratore very ably conducted the meeting in the absence of Lion President “Lion King” Kris Weiland, who was attending to very important business in Mesquite, Nevada. Much of the business centered on the turkey shoot. Lion Brian Moore asked members to mark plates to be ready for sale. October is the time to start selling. We hope some Lions will outsell Lion Fran Madachy this year. She said she will sell at least ten. Lions and our community are saddened with the passing of Will Seymour on his 29th birthday last week. Lions Sandy Hanneman, Ruby Fry Matson, and myself were at the Pelican last Sunday to light a campfire for a wedding reception there. Lion Dave Gordon, who works there, got us this good paying job — $375 for a half hour!! Thank you Lion Dave!! This is actually a donation from Lion Dave, who is also our fantastic Tail Twister!! Recently, Lions received a letter requesting a Lion Bus shelter. We have about 10 of these for students along the school bus routes. It was a great letter from four Nestucca Valley Elementary School students, 8-12 years old. They are Cody and Tyler Hagerty, Jessica Ruiz Perez, and Katelynn Price. Here’s what they had to say: “Dear Lions: We are writing to ask your club for some help (in getting a) bus stop shelter large enough for four students. Price Dairy will make a level spot for the shelter. Thank you for considering this shelter for us.” Joe Price of Price Dairy has indeed prepared a spot for it on their farm. Hopefully, we get the shelter installed before the rains start. Last Friday, we presented our Good Citizenship awards to 11 students at NVES. Presenters were Lions Pat Mobley, Lea Traxler, Sandy Hanneman, Teresa Smith, Dorothy Gann, Dave Gordon and myself. As you can see, It’s great — and fun — to be a Lion!

Stimulus will host photographer Kelly Carmondy during an artist reception on Saturday, Oct. 3

ortland photographer Kelly Carmondy will be feted at an artist reception, Saturday, Oct.3 at, 4-6 p.m., at Stimulus Espresso Cafe, 33105 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. A self-taught photographer, Carmondy says that by using the Pacific Northwest as her treasure map, she discovered Oregon’s wild nature at an early age and hasn’t stopped exploring since. “Living in Oregon for 20-plus years has not diminished its beauty,” she says. “I’m still finding new places to go and new things to see.” Her photos represent what she describes as bright snapshots of a world in constant change. “Every moment has the potential to bring something new to my photography,” she says. “I’m constantly

learning by doing and watching. For me, landscape photography is often more about the time spent traveling to find the perfect shot, than it is about actually taking the shot. The quiet moments sitting and watching before snapping a photo are some of my favorites. I’ve found that the world has a lot to offer when I take the time to look and listen. “With my photos, I hope to remind everyone to keep exploring, keep adventuring, get out there, see the world in new and different ways and take some time to appreciate those serene moments when they come.” Stimulus will be showing Carmondy’s work throughout October and November. For more information about Stimulus Cafe, call 503-9654661 or visit www.stimuluscafe.com.

Dennis Manning Art has been a continuous part of woodcarver Dennis Manning’s life. “Art, for me, has been a place I go to create and then I return to reality,” says Manning, who sold his first pieces of art in his early 20s. Recalling his experiences with art as a school boy, he says art was a way to “tune out” the world, or some predicament. Now in his 60s, Manning has had a long career in communications. “I do art when the mood strikes me and that can be the day after I finish a piece or several years later,” he says. “I have no plan when I start other than a general Idea of what the subject will be.” He says that when carving, the wood grain and irregularities in a particular piece make most of the decisions. And, when he paints, the colors do the same. ”I just capitalize on whatever seems to appear,” he says.

The Beginnings of Beltz Farm By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

he Beltz farm in Sandlake (now owned by Oregon Parks and Recreation District), was once owned by Fritz and Naomi Beltz. I thought it would be interesting to learn more about the Beltz family and was able to get a great deal of information from Peggy Howard, owner of Sea View Vacation Rentals, as she is the granddaughter of Fritz and Naomi Beltz. Peggy has many interesting stories of living on the Beltz farm. Fritz was born in Hastings, Minnesota in 1887. He spent most of his early life in Aberdeen, Washington. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1914 and practiced law in Seattle and Friday Harbor. Mr. Beltz came to Tillamook from Seattle, Washington with A.F. Coats, Sr. to be president and manager of Coats Lumber Company and continued in that capacity until William Coats assumed the duties there. He served as county judge in the 1920s and, through his effort, money was secured to build the present courthouse. He knew that the old courthouse (the present Tillamook Pioneer Museum) was completely outdated and that the county must have a new building. The courthouse was constructed during the early days of the depression with tax money amounting to $115,000 so that when the building was completed it stood debt free. There is a plaque honoring Judge Fritz Beltz in the front of the court house. Fritz continued to have an interest in logging along with being active in many of the early organizations in the county. He was the organizer of the Tillamook Kiwanis club and its first president. He was also a member and past president of the Tillamook Chamber of Commerce. He was a member of the Oregon State Dairyman’s Association. Judge Fritz was very interested in the development of better roads in Tillamook County and the hard surfacing of the Roosevelt Highway (Highway 101). When Fritz was a brand new judge in Tillamook County, he went to Portland to speak to the State Highway Commission about the prospect of securing a rightof-way designation between Rockaway and Garibaldi for the Coast Highway. He testified in opposition to a toll road (Wilson River Highway) and stated he would rather wait four years and have a free road (Roosevelt Highway). The 1926 contest for Tillamook County judge between A.M. Hare, independent candidate and F.A. Belts, Republican-Democratic nominee was very active and the center of interest in the local election. The issues of the campaign had been given publicity through the press and public meetings. The result was the election brought out the largest vote ever polled in the county, the total being 115 larger than that recordPage 18 • Pacific City SUN • October 2, 2015

NAOMI AND FRITZ BELTZ owned the 357-acre Beltz Farm, now owned by Oregon Parks & Recreation Department. A caretaker, Chris Bourne, lived on and managed the farm. The family lived in Tillamook but visited the property often. ed two years earlier. Hundreds of citizens of Tillamook and neighboring communities gathered at the offices of the local newspapers and the county clerk and waited until after midnight to hear the latest return of the local and state contest. Hare carried 16 precincts, including four in the city of Tillamook. Beltz carried the remaining 14 precincts of the county and won. The Beltz 357-acre farm encompassed ocean front, tidal flats, marsh, wetlands and forest. Judge Beltz was serious about farming and applied for the statecertificated name of SANDTILLA FARM. A caretaker, Chris Bourne, lived on and managed the farm. The family lived in Tillamook but visited the property often. Fritz built a dike along the ocean front to protect his pastures from tidal water. The area where he dug the rock became a trout pond and later swimming hole for his daughters. Fritz hired Peter Erickson of Netarts to design a new house. It has two porthole windows that look out to the west. Electricity wasn’t installed until after World War II. The barn has since been taken down and the blue house on the west side of the road is soon to be removed. Fritz and Naomi had four daughters, Mary, Marilyn, Nancy and Fritzie. Fritz died in 1959 and Naomi in 1968. Note: Tierra Del Mar Tales by Diana Sears has more details about the Beltz property. It is available in the library.

Absent ‘significant’ precipitation, bay and tidewater fishing reins By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

ack of meaningful rain has restricted all the salmon fishing opportunities to the bays and tidewater areas all up and down the North Oregon Coast. No rain in the foreseeable future will ensure that the tidewater fisheries will remain strong for a few more weeks. Not much has changed as far as how fishermen are approaching the fishery. Spinners are still catching more fish than bait. The blue-tip, four-color, number 6, deep-cup Colorado blade is the top choice. Other spinners like the Perry’s tidewater and the Squid Stingers with Hoochie Skirts are close behind. In different water conditions, bait would be king, but because the bays have been so warm this season and so full of trash fish, it is very hard to keep a bait in the water long enough for salmon to see it and strike. “Poogies,” the term given for all the bait fish, have been a constant nuisance and can eat a quart of cured eggs in a hurry. Bait can be expensive, especially eggs, so the move to use more hardware makes more sense. There are some baits like Tuna bellies that hold up a little better than shrimp or eggs, but, still, a good Photo courtesy of Pat Gefre spinner that costs $7-$9 can hold up all WITH SIGNIFICANT RAINS holding off, tidewater in the Nestucca day.
