P
acific City residents — some of which have already cast their ballot by mail — have until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to vote whether to give the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority the power to at least partially fund a planned upgrade to PCJWSA’s wastewater treatment plant via a general obligation bond. The bond measure authorizes the PCJWSA board of directors to use up to $11.5 million in property taxes to fund the improvement. There will be a ballot drop box at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. The upgrade has been identified by PCJWSA as necessary because the Authority has received fines from DEQ for being out of compliance. PCJWSA’s board of directors previously approved spending up to $11.5 million in indebtedness to fund the upgrade, a figure based on a preliminary engineer’s report (PER). USDA Rural Development, which has agreed to fund the project through a combination of grants and a low-interest loan, has authorized just $10.66 million for the project. The difference, says Authority manager Tony Owen, is that the engineer estimate assumed 30 percent contingency, a higher amount than Rural Development allows. Should voters approve the general obligation bond and give PCJWSA authority to fund the project via property taxes, the board of directors will decide just how much will be funded through user fees supported by revenue bonds and how much will come from a property tax increase. In that case, if the board does use the maximum indebtedness of $11.5 million and all of it is funded by property tax and none by user fees, it is estimated that property owners would pay approximately $1.54 per $1,000 of assessed value. However the preliminary report has reportedly become a cause of concern to some Pacific City residents. Walter and Robin Kostrikin have reportedly
been circulating a petition that asks that PCJWSA downsize the proposed plant as they assert that the population growth figure used by the Authority was not legal. They say that instead of the 2.5 percent population growth figure used in the PER, PCJWSA is required to use a 0.67 percent growth rate according to state law. Robin told the Sun that 55 residents had signed the petition — with more possibly on the way. She added that their goal — through the petition and the legal opinion of the Oregon Coast Alliance — is to persuade PCJWSA to downscale the upgrade. “We don’t support either getting (the project funded) through revenue bonds or this bond measure, because we don’t believe the facility they want is the one we can afford or that we need,” she said. “We don’t support it either way.” In a letter addressed to USDA and PCJWSA, the Oregon Coast Alliance, which was contacted by the Kostrikins, laid out their reasoning, saying “PCJWSA’s reliance on this alleged ‘future population projection’ is unlawful.” The group further said that PCJWSA is required to use the state estimated growth rate for the county, as issued by the Office of Economic Analysis, which is the aforementioned 0.67 percent. And that, said Oregon Coast Alliance executive director Cameron La Follettee, means that the Authority is proposing to build a facility much larger than needed. She added that her group is not in opposition to bringing the plant into compliance with DEQ, but they do object to unnecessary build out — and the increased cost that comes with it. “What Pacific City should be doing is upgrading the plant based on peak needs for existing output at .65 percent growth rate,” she said. “That would lead to an upgrade that would be much smaller, much closer to what the community needs and much less expensive to people paying property taxes and sewer rates.” In a Oct. 29 interview with the Sun, PCJWSA manager Tony Owen said that while population forecast was part of what they looked at, there’s more to the

story. “One needs to really look at the data regarding loading to the sewer plant (and) the seasonal influx of people,” he said. Population is only one (part).” Though both Owen and board chair Carolyn McVicker said they were limited in how much they could say before the election because the accusation is tied up with a particular way to vote in the election, they did say that the justification in the PER is sound. “We’re doing the right thing,” said Owen. “There’s nothing that we’re doing that we believe is illegal....One needs to consider that in the PER, basically 20 years of our data was evaluated. This was a scientific project with valid, supportable data.” Owen and McVicker added that USDA Rural Development is aware of the allegations. They have been in contact with both USDA and their own legal counsel. “We’re working with very closely with Rural Development, DEQ and Tillamook County to make sure the project meets all requirements and can move forward — and that’s been true from the very beginning,” McVicker said. While they said they had no comment on the effect of downsizing the plant and having to later increase its size should that scenario develop, Owen did offer an illustration. “Let me say this: if you have a family of 12 people, you’re not going to go out and buy a Smart car,” he said. “And if you have a family of two, you’re not going to go out and buy a 40-person bus. If you end up buying that Smart car, you end up buying another one and another one and another one until you have enough room for the entire family to be driven around. By the time you get that final smart car, the first one is dead and you’ve got to replace it. There’s really no economy of scale there at all.” For more information about the planned wastewater treatment plant upgrade, visit www.pcjwsa.com or call 503-965-6636.

NEWS&COMMUNITY CAC to team up with Chamber to discuss possible incorporation of Pacific City By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
D
o you value local control? That’s the question that the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee will be asking come next year. The CAC voted 13-0 on Oct. 17 to join the Chamber for an upcoming town hall to address possibly incorporating Pacific City. The town hall is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 20 at Kiawanda Community Center. “I think we should absolutely go in with the Chamber,” said CAC chairelect Sean Carlton. “I think it’s of huge importance to the community.” Prior to the vote, Chamber and CAC member Doug Olson explained the issue to the CAC board, as well as its members, saying that the decision to incorporate or not depends on whether residents here favor local control. “To me, just personally, it makes sense to have a (new) conversation (about incorporation),” Olson said. “You may or may not think it’s a good idea – (it) depends if you favor local control and want to have your own land use issues, your own parks department, your own cops or whatever it is you want. We already have public water, public sewer, public schools and those kinds of things so maybe it makes sense and maybe not (for Pacific City to incorporate).” Recounting past occasions when residents have looked at the issue, Olson said that twice in the past two decades town meetings have been held to determine if residents here were interested in incorporating Pacific City. The most recent was 10 years ago. At that time, Olson says a “straw poll” vote showed the community opposed the idea of incorporating Pacific City, 4-1. Instead, at that time, some voiced support for more police services. However, a March 2007 meeting to address an enhanced sheriff patrol also failed to garner enough support. Olson added that what’s different this time around is the money available. Pacific City is the single largest contributor to Tillamook County’s
Transient Room Tax. The area collected $715,761 in 2014 — 70 percent of which, by law, must be devoted to tourism marketing and tourismrelated infrastructure. The remainder, however, would be discretionary funds that could be used to help fund an incorporated city. That figure will likely go up, overall winter 2015 TLT receipts were up 25 percent and spring 2015 TLT receipts up 20 percent. “There’s pros and cons (to being incorporated as a city),” Olson said. “I’ve heard now from probably a dozen people that — particularly with the room tax thing — it might be time to talk about (incorporation) again.” If Pacific City were to incorporate they could do as all current incorporated cities in Tillamook County have done — adopt a 9 percent TLT of it’s own. Lodging providers would still levy the 10 percent county-wide tax in addition to the 1 percent state tax, but, the city would be credited back 9 percent. “That would be a source of money well into the hundreds of thousands,” Olson said. “(It would) still be subject to a 70-30 (split), but we’d have more control over what got done within whatever corporate limits would be established.” “Things have changed because of the TLT,” added David Yamamoto, CAC treasurer. “Not only would we, if we were to incorporate, have access to TLT funds to help support the city, there are other fees that you could charge. The county is currently collecting a licensing fee for vacation rentals.” Noting the high turnout of the 2005 meeting, Olson said the Chamber – with the CAC’s help — will look to duplicate the formula when it holds a meeting on Feb. 20. That will mean the appearance of representatives from nearby similar cities as well as someone from the League of Oregon Cities. Some County Commissioners, too, have reportedly wondered if the incorporation of Pacific City would be good for the town. “When I get on their case for one thing or another, they say ‘Why don’t you incorporate and do it yourself and you don’t have to bother us.’ I guess that’s a fair (question),” Olson said.

A CHANCE TO BUILD A VARIETY of creations awaits children at the South Tillamook County Library, every other Wednesday. On Oct.14, the South Tillamook County Library brought back “Lego Days,” an every-other week story time event for kids of all ages. “We brought in Legos from all over the place once, and it went so well we decided to do it regularly,” said Librarian Theresa Roberts. “It's a great way to get kids into the library and expose them to literature.” Although Legos are out for the kids to use, librarians, like Courtney Remington (above) also read from a variety of books. Lego Days alternates with Story Time; both are held Wednesdays at 4 p.m. The next Lego Days will be held Nov. 11.

WITH A SLIGHT IRISH BROGUE and expressive hand and face gestures, storyteller William Hornyak entertained an audience with old-time tales of terror at South Tillamook County Library on Oct. 28. Hornyak has been a professional storyteller since 1994, specializing in myths and legends from European and Native American cultures, but the evening’s tales hailed mainly from the Emerald Isles. “I’m half Irish so I’ve always had an affinity for Irish and Celtic folk and fairy tales,” Hornyak said. “Our Halloween actually came from the Celtic New Year. It was called the ‘thin’ time of year back then because you could feel the proximity to the other world. It was considered a special time, but also a dangerous time, because the spirits of the ancestors would make their way about.” Because the stories, handpicked for the season, sometimes included slightly gruesome detail, the library offered the free event for mature audiences only.

RESIDENTS will have the opportunity to spread Christmas cheer by donating nonperishable food items to the Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program starting Oct. 31. There will also be giving trees put up at Oregon Coast Bank (Pacific City), US Bank (Cloverdale), Kiawanda Community Center, and the Church of the Nazarene (Hemlock).
Filling the Baskets Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket program to install collection boxes, giving trees at several area locations By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
I
t’s not too early to get in the spirit of the season — not when it comes to spreading a little Christmas cheer to local families in need. Now in its 45th year, the Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program will be setting up food collection boxes at numerous sites throughout South Tillamook County on Oct. 31 including the Kiawanda Community Center, Chester’s Thriftway and the South Tillamook County Library. Food donations will go towards care baskets that will be delivered to families who are in need on Dec. 18. As well, there will be “giving trees” set up on Nov. 2 at Oregon Coast Bank (Pacific City branch), US Bank (Cloverdale branch), Kiawanda Community Center, and at the Church of the Nazarene in Hemlock. Food and gift donations need to be made by Dec. 9 when efforts switch to organizing the gifts. Started by Don and JoAnn Waters more than four decades ago and now run by the Nestucca Valley Lions Club and Nesko Women’s Club, the program is a South Tillamook County tradition that exemplifies this caring community. “This just gives families (in need) a little bit of hope — knowing that people care about them,” said organizer Teresa Smith. “We have a wonderful community. South County is so caring and giving, and I think that the people in need feel that their community does care about them. This is just one way to express this during Christmas time.” Last year the program served 91 families. While she is unsure just how many will be served in 2015, Smith said that the effort will make a difference both in terms of putting food on the table and in fulfilling some Christmas
wishes. This year’s gifts will focus on the wants of children, seniors, veterans and disabled residents. At the outset, the giving trees will be adorned with clothing requests, but as requests come in, Christmas wishes will be added. First, though, the program will survey items they have not yet distributed from previous years. “We’ll shop the toys that we have first,” explained Smith. “If we don’t have toys that fulfills the (children’s) desires or wish, we’ll add (that request) to the giving tree. Hopefully, that will be done after the first week in November.” The program is still on the lookout for those families that could use a little help this holiday season. Residents should refer families in need to Nestucca Fire Chief Kris Weiland, who can be reached at 503-812-1815. Another way to help out is by adopting a family, which could mean supplying all of a Christmas basket including food, dinner and presents or just a portion thereof. Those interested in doing so can contact Smith at 503-965-6521. But even if you don’t have funds to share, you can still be a part of this effort to spread Christmas cheer. Volunteers are always welcome. The program has a particular need for drivers to ferry the donations during its Dec. 18 distribution. Volunteers from the community can also help by donating their time to help fill food boxes and wrap gifts, Dec. 14-17, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., at the Hebo fire station. “The more drivers we have, the faster the food (and gifts) goes out and all the volunteers can go home,” Smith said. Cash donations for the program are also accepted. Checks can be mailed to Nestucca Valley Christmas Basket Program, P.O. Box 177, Cloverdale, OR 97112.

Thousands of geese and ducks spend their winter at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, along with other species such as Western
Meadowlarks, Northern Harriers and Townsend’s Warblers. For the most comfortable viewing experience, participants are encouraged to bring their hot beverage and bundle up— as well as a pair of binoculars or spotting scope. In 2014, sunrise viewers spotted a rare Tundra Bean-goose among the Refuge’s regular visitors. Participants should meet at the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge Observation Deck at sunrise, Sunday mornings for

Preparing for the holidays By VERNE MOBLEY Lion Membership Chairman As usual, our Lions are just busy as beavers. In our turkey shoot business, Lion Fran Madachy has already sold 11 or 12 or 13 plates. Come on Lions, let’s show her we can outsell her. She doesn’t think there’s a chance!! Our Lions have moved a bus shelter from Nestucca Bend to the Price Dairy. Katelyn is thrilled!! Uncle Joe Price will get it leveled up. It’s fun to do these things when our young folks are so happy about it. Lion David Phelps will let us know what shelters are being used, and not, so Lions can situate them where they are most needed. Thank you Lion Superintendent David!! On Oct. 27, our Lions District Governor Hank Calhoun was here. He’s a great Lion and entertained us, too. Also, he swore in new Lion Monica Collett. The general public was invited to all this stuff so they could see how much fun we have!! Lions treasurer Teresa Smith reminded me to remember that Christmas is coming!! Christmas giving trees will be in place Nov. 2 at the Oregon Coast Bank in Pacific City, the US Bank in Cloverdale, the Kiawanda Community Center, and in Hemlock at the Church of the Nazarene. The food collection boxes will be distributed about Oct. 31 to businesses and churches in Pacific City, Neskowin, Hebo, Beaver, and Cloverdale to collect food items to go in the Christmas baskets. For more information on these things, talk to any Lion or call me at 971-257-0200. Paid Advertisement

County to host Nov. 4 workshop on TLT management
I
n whose hands does the job to oversee the projects funded by the county-wide Transient Lodging Tax belong? That will be the question at a Nov. 4 workshop hosted by Tillamook County commissioners. On the table at the 3 p.m. workshop will be the question as to whether the Economic Development Council and the Tourism Advisory Committee are appropriate organizations to help the county decide on what projects should be funded with tourism-related infrastructure grants. At present, the EDC is in the midst of a three-year intergovernmental agreement with Tillamook County to manage the TLT program. Operating under the name of Visit Tillamook Coast, the program includes infrastructure grants, marketing grants and an advertising program run by director Nan Devlin. Commissioner Bill Baertlein, who called the meeting, told the Sun he would like to terminate the agreement with the EDC on July 1, 2016. “I’d like to see a new nonprofit set up for advertising promotion,” he said. “They would be a separate entity (that would) do advertising and promotion.” He added that Visit Tillamook Coast director Nan Devlin — and her staff — could move into this department. The marketing grant portion of the current program would be rolled into this new nonprofit. A second part of Baertlein’s proposal would be to make the tourism-related infrastructure improvement portion — currently consisting of a grant program — a “county function.” In addition, a relatively modest amount of funds would be used for the Tillamook County Fairgrounds to help it transition from “just a fairgrounds” to more of an “expo-type center with offseason tourism events.” Finally, Commissioner Baertlein would like to add an allocation for small capital improvements. He said he’d like to consult with residents in each of the three geographical areas of the county – north, central, and

south — to come up with three projects that each community wants for a total of nine projects. “The first three or four years ought to be related to public safety, tourist safety and tourist comfort,” he said. “We all know that South (Tillamook) County has some major issues that need to be taken care of.” He added that once those community projects are identified, they could be added to a strategic plan. Still, he said that he recognizes that, at present, these are just his proposals — not action items. “I’m not sure what will come out of (the meeting),” he said. “Maybe we’ll all decide what we’ve got is working fine. If not, I’m sure they’ll be some negotiations on what the final project will look like. I’m just one voice, but we’ll see what happens.” For its part, the EDC decided not to commit to any particular position during its Oct. 20 meeting. The idea of presenting an EDC position was suggested by the group’s vice-chair Doug Olson, who also serves as the liason with the Tourism Advisory Committee. He suggested that the group consider taking a position as a board that they could present to commissioners during the workshop. It was a suggestion that was met with caution by some on the board, including chair Michelle Bradley. “I think there’s a lot of ambiguity,” she said referring to Commissioner Bill Baertlein’s suggestion to change how grants for tourism-related infrastructure be managed. “There hasn’t been any formal action or request to this board at all. We don’t have anything to deliberate or act on at this point.” Still, there was some board concern over the appropriateness of the EDC’s involvement in tourism. EDC secretary/treasurer Tammy King Crossley said that when she thinks of economic development, she thinks of businesses and how you grow them. She noted that not all of these businesses are reliant on tourism.

portsman’s Pub-n-Grub will serve up a platter of thanks to those that have served us — and the country — during a Veterans Day celebration on Wednesday, Nov. 11, starting at 2 p.m. at the pub, which is located at 34975 Brooten Road in downtown Pacific City. The pub will offer complimentary hot dogs and snacks for all — the public is welcome to attend — and complimentary first beverage to all veterans and their significant other during the celebration. Attendees are also invited to bring their favorite dish to the potluck. Amongst the veterans planning to say a few words at the event are retired Air Force Lt.

rick agrees with. A 25-year veteran of the Army whose service includes a pair of two-year combat tours in Iraq, one from 2004-05 and another from 2009-10, Kirkpatrick has served our nation in many countries throughout the world including Korea, Japan, Thailand and Germany. A resident of Cloverdale, he is currently serving as operations officer for the 41st infantry brigade combat team in the Oregon Army National Guard. “I think these celebrations in local communities are very important to link our communities to veterans,” Kirkpatrick told the Sun. He added that events like this help to bring attention to the fact that fewer and fewer people are choosing to serve the country in the military. “I think it’s important as a citizen to give back to your nation and this is how I do so,” he said. “It’s very important to recognize veterans. They chose one of the harder paths in life.” For more information about Sportsman’s Veterans’ Day Celebration call 503-965-9991.

Plans for Promotion By VERNE MOBLEY
Our Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is full of all kinds of fun things. President Merrianne Hoffman has said she is bowing out after three years as president. Our group has put together a new slate of officers for 2016. The election will be at our next Chamber meeting, Tuesday, November 3rd at the Pelican Pub. As always, nominations from the floor are also welcome. If you’re a member, please attend the meeting so you can cast your vote. Speakers at the meeting will include County Commissioner Bill Baertlein, Connor Dixon and Michelle Jenck, who will tell us about the “Year of Wellness – 2016.” At the Oct. 22 board meeting, there was talk about our advertising and marketing plans for the New Year. We hope to receive a Marketing grant from the Transient Lodging Tax revenues to supplement membership revenues that we spend on Marketing and Advertising. We need a grant writer!! This is a paying job so anyone interested should talk to a board member. My number is 971257-0200. Board member Kim Carr will be doing membership updates as to who has paid, who hasn’t, and we will all help her try to find and sign up new members. Merrianne reminded me that Christmas is coming!! That means it’s time for our annual Awards Banquet. If you have suggestions for award recipients, please let us know. Kim Carr has stepped up to chair this event, and has lots of plans to make it another memorable evening. If you want to help, just let her know. Board member Doug Olson has lined up a comedian, or is it comedienne? We’ll see!! So mark the date on your calendar, Dec. 8 at that fantastic Pelican Pub. Other big seasonal events for your calendar include Dec. 2, the tree lighting in Cloverdale with our guest — Santa Claus!! He’ll also be visiting Pacific City on Dec. 12 for their tree lighting, so plan to join us there. Remember, there will be gifts for the kids and refreshments too, and it’s all brought to you by the Chamber of Commerce and our member businesses. Paid Advertisement

T
he nice warm Indian summer weather has finally ended. We received some much needed rains Oct. 25-26, and the Nestucca River rose approximately 14 inches. Although we needed to see more in the way of rain and river rise, what we did receive was enough to kick start the salmon season in most all of the North Coast Rivers. On Oct. 26, we saw some light river traffic with only a handful of river shuttles. By the next day, the word had traveled fast that there were gobs of salmon moving out of tidewater into the lower river and by that same day the number of shuttles tripled, sans the next two days. Though there are lots of fish in the system, reports received at the sports shop in Hebo indicate that there were a lot of dark fish coming out of tidewater and you had to sort through a few to find some bright ones. One guide reported catching nine salmon of which only two were bright keepers. This will change as soon as we see more rains and more fresh water. There is predicted to be a major rain event over the weekend of Oct. 30-Nov. 1. Currently, NOAA is predicting a river rise to between 5.5 and 6 feet. If that happens, the river will be very busy with bank fishermen and boaters alike. As of right now, most of all the boater traffic is concentrated from Three Rivers to Cloverdale — the reason for this is two fold. One, the river level is driftable from these locations, and, if you were to put in much higher, most likely you would have to get out of the boat and walk over some of the shallower locations. Secondly, most of the salmon entering the system will be lower in the river until there is more water that would make passage upstream easier. If the rain overshoots the mark,
and we get more rain and more river than predicted, it could take a couple of days to become fishable. If the Nestucca were to approach seven feet, the water would turn muddy and take a little time to clear enough for it to be fishable. There are some benefits to having the river rise higher than needed. Number one, a seven-foot river level will blow all the algae, moss, leaves and sticks that have accumulated all summer and fall, out to the ocean and they won’t be a nuisance to fishermen. Other benefits will be getting the fish spread out all the way to first bridge opening up all the legal drifts for boaters making the lower river less crowded. No salmon fishing is allowed above first bridge so be sure to observe that cut off for all salmon fishing. Bank fishermen are throwing a lot of different types of spinners with good success. Dropping down leader sizes for the river is a good idea. In tidewater, salmon don’t seem to be leader shy and using 40-pound leader is common. In the river, however, dropping down to 20- to 25-pound leaders will produce more biters. Bobber and bait (shrimp, eggs, tuna bellies) are very acceptable methods for bank fishing. Yesterday I had a fisherman relate to me that he was catching salmon using Coho Killers and KO wobblers under a bobber and presenting it just like you would shrimp or eggs. They had four nice salmon and it just goes to prove that being creative sometimes will improve your odds. Boaters have those same options in their arsenal. What’s more, a few added options such as backbouncing bait or divers and bait or backing Kwikfish wrapped in sardine can make them more effective than bank fishing. In addition, fishing from a boat allows you to cover all the holes on the river whereas bank fishermen are limited to access spots.

he Aeolus String Quartet will present the second concert in the 22nd season of Neskowin Chamber Music on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. at Camp Winema. The quartet is named for the Greek god, Aeolus, who governed the four winds. “The idea of a single spirit uniting four individual forces serves as our inspiration in pursing our art,” notes the group on its website. Praised by critics for their “high octane” performances and “smoothly meshed technique,” the young players of Aeolus have performed both in the United States and overseas, including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Reinberger Recital Hall at Severance Hall, Merkin Hall, The Library of Congress, Renwick Gallery, St. Martin-inthe-Fields, and the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center. They have won countless awards, including the Plowman Chamber Music Competition, the Coleman International Chamber Ensemble, and the International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition in New England. Their repertoire includes both classical and contemporary music. They are currently Graduate Quartet in Residence at the Julliard School. Aeolus String Quartet members include first violinist Nichols Tavani, violinist Rachel Kitagawa Shapiro, violist Gregory Luce, and cellist Alan Richardson. Tavani debuted at Gaston Hall in Washington, D. C. at the age of eight.
