County releases draft of proposed zoning code changes for Pacific City-Woods area

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun The Tillamook County Department of Community Development discussed proposed changes to Pacific City-Woods zoning codes during an Oct. 5 meeting at Kiawanda Community Center.

The proposed changes are the county’s response to efforts by the Pacific CityWoods Citizen Advisory Committee and Tillamook Community Development to update the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan.

Changes to the plan follow a public opinion survey in 2009 and an inventory of land in 2013.

One of the key points in the plan is the community’s desire for affordable housing, and, in response the county has several draft changes that could increase density in R3 (high density residential) zoned areas. The change would make a one- to eight-family dwelling, including townhouses, rowhouses, apartments and condominiums, a use permitted outright — meaning no conditional use permit or variance would be required. Currently, uses permitted outright calls for up to a four-family dwelling in R3 zoned property in the Pacific City-Woods area. In addition, verbiage was added to allow for multifamily dwellings including six to eight units to have a building height of up to 45 feet.

Standards in R3 zones also have proposed changes. The changes stipulate for the minimum size for all lots to

be 5,000 square feet. Currently, lots with an average slope of 20 percent or less have a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, but lots with slopes averaging more than 20 percent have a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. Additionally, the county is proposing that language stipulating that each additional unit in a lot have an additional 2,000 square feet be stricken. As well, front and rear setbacks will be slightly less.

In both commercial zones, verbiage was added to allow multi-family dwellings exceeding four units as an outright use. Previously, this same allowance was a conditional use. As well, the draft calls for increasing the maximum building height in the commercial zones from 35 to 50 feet — with the exception of ocean or bay front lots, where it will remain 24 feet.

Zoning changes in the draft in all zones also include minor word changes including changing “churches” to “places of worship.”

The county will next meet with the Community Plan Review Subcommittee to go over feedback received at the Oct. 5 meeting. Following that, there will be two opportunities for the public to comment. First, when the Tillamook County Planning Commission hears the proposal and later, when Tillamook County commissioners, who have the ultimate say, hear the matter. The Planning Commission hearing is tentatively slated for December. Residents and property owners can view the proposed changes at co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ComDev/.

A Commendable Career Longtime Cloverdale resident Bill Hagerty named to the OSU Agricultural Diamond Pioneer Registry

Construction starts on new Whalen Island Bridge Crews began construction of a new bridge on Oct. 10 that will, come next spring, take visitors across to Whalen Island.

Primarily funded by the US DOT Federal Highway Administration’s Local Bridge Highway Program — with a 10.27 percent grant from the Tillamook County Public Works Dept., the $2.6 million project will erect a two-lane 78-foot single-span bridge constructed with a pre-stressed concrete slab that will connect travelers to Whalen Island.

The Public Works Department entered into an agreement with the Local Bridge Highway Program to fund the project in 2014.

The new bridge will replace the current aging two-span, timber-built 45-foot long bridge, which was built in 1955. Inspections have confirmed that the timber abutments in the current bridge have multiple structural deficient piles, bearings, backwall and wingwalls.

As well, felloe guards and bridge rails are decaying and erosion and scour are present. It’s for these reasons that the bridge has been narrowed to one-lane use.

While the existing bridge will remain Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • October 13, 2017

open during construction of the new span, the Tillamook County Public Works Dept. says congestion is expected due to the limited space to the contractor along the Island Access roadway. Delays of 15 to 20 minutes are expected to last into the week of Oct. 16-20 for which the contractor, Farline Bridge, will provide flagging and temporary traffic control.

In addition to providing a safe bridge that is expected to last for the next 75 years, the new bridge will have some extra benefits — especially when it comes to the passage of aquatic animals and fish. While the old bridge had a 45-foot passageway for the estuary, the new bridge, when completed, will feature a channel that will be approximately 70 feet at high tide.

“As the tide goes in and out, the water flow (under the current bridge) really speeds up,” said Chris Laity, Public Works director. “The new bridge will really decrease how fast the water goes under the bridge.”

The current timeline for the new construction project calls for completion

by April 30, 2018, but Laity said that it should be open for traffic by mid-April.

Harvest Fest wrap-up

Adam Sawyer to share his outdoor anecdotes at Oct. 21 event at local library

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

H

undreds turned out for the 35th annual Neskowin Valley School Harvest Festival on Oct. 7, prompting parent organizer Chad Muller to both applaud those coming to the seasonal celebration and those that worked hard to organize a well-run event.

“I would say it’s the most successful Harvest Festival we’ve had in a lot of ways,” Muller told the Sun. “We had a fantastic turnout despite some inclement weather.

There was a strong sense of community to everyone who showed up — from vendors to past and present people involved with the school.”

The Festival is one of the school’s largest fundraisers of the years, and Muller said this year didn’t disappoint. He noted that all of the silent auction items — which numbered more than 150 — were sold during the event.

“We did very well financially — certainly better than we’ve done in as along I’ve been here, which is seven years,” he said.

At left, attendees check out the festival’s many silent auction items.

Muller also said the event’s general feel also got rave reviews.

“People were telling us that they felt inspired (at the event),” he said. “The kids’ activities were a huge success. Everybody from the school put a lot of amazing energy into it, and it showed. It was fantastic.”

Registration open for Oct. 21 Playful Brewers’ Dinner

Pelican Brewing Company will savor the change of seasons with three events celebrating their beer cuisine and award-winning beer. On the agenda are Playful, Pelican’s fall Brewers’ Dinner, beer pairing and interactive dinner theater on Saturday, Oct. 21; and Take Flight, a guided flight of Pelican’s barrel-aged series on Saturday, Nov. 11 at the Pacific City brewpub. Take Flight Cannon Beach will take place at the Cannon Beach brewpub on Sunday, Nov. 12.

The Oct. 21 Playful Brewer’s Dinner offers beer cuisine fanatics a sixcourse menu of fresh, local offerings paired with Pelican’s award-winning beers, from 6:30-10:30 p.m. Pelican brewers will be on hand to discuss the pairings and beer, and the dinner features a playful interactive theater experience. Tickets are $90 and must be purchased in advance for the 21 and over event.

The menu features fare like Dungeness crab with heirloom tomato, asparagus, tarragon, and sea salt, paired with Kiwanda Cream Ale; zucchini primavera, garlic confiture, buratta, roasted red pepper coulis, almond oil, and white truffle salt, paired with Sea’N Red, Pelican’s new Irish-style Red Ale; and crispy polenta with tomato caper, hazelnut pesto,

and chimichurri sauces, paired with Pelican Saison to name a few.

Take Flight escorts barrel-aged beer fans on a guided flight of Pelican’s current barrel-aged lineup including Captain of the Coast, Queen of Hearts, Father of All Tsunamis and Mother of All Storms — all paired with appetizers to evoke the unique flavors of both beer and food. Pelican’s founding brewmaster, Darron Welch, will talk about the inspiration and unique character and profile of each beer and how the beers pair with the perfect bites. Tickets are $45 and must be purchased in advance at shop.pelicanbrewing.com to reserve your spot for the 21 and over event.

Pelican’s Cannon Beach brewer, Coren Tradd, will conduct the same barrel-aged guided tasting for up to 25 guests on Nov. 12. Those interested in attending should register in advance at shop.pelicanbrewing.com.

Pelican Brewing has won more than 450 awards including a Silver Medal at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival, 2014 World Beer Cup© Champion Small Brewing Company and Brewmaster of the Year. The company operates brewing and brewpub facilities in Pacific City, Tillamook and Cannon Beach. For more information, visit pelicanbrewing.com.

Travel Oregon to give awards totaling $30,000 to Visit Tillamook Coast Travel Oregon announced on Oct. 4 that Visit Tillamook Coast, the county’s tourism marketing and destination development organization, is the recipient of a $20,000 grant from the Oregon Wine Country Plates Matching Grants Program. Visit Tillamook Coast, in partnership with the Port of Garibaldi, will host a food festival in the fall of 2018.

The matching grants program helps advance wine and culinary tourism projects that improve local economies and communities by enhancing, expanding and promoting Oregon’s travel and tourism industry.

The projects will help share the story and experiences of Oregon’s wine and culinary bounty with Oregonians and visitors.

“These projects will further enhance Oregon’s reputation as a worldclass culinary destination,” said Todd Davidson, Travel Oregon CEO. “When visitors get a taste of Oregon’s bounty they want more, leading them to seek out Oregon products when they return home. This results in prolonged economic impact that benefits makers and destinations beyond vacation

time spent here.”

In September, Visit Tillamook Coast was also awarded $10,000 to support the development of a culinary/agritourism initiative and a “Food, Farm, Fish and Forage” trail.

That effort will include a printed map, website, visitor training and marketing. This grant followed the participation of a two-day agritourism workshop in February facilitated by the Destination Development division of Travel Oregon.

The workshop attracted more than 65 participants from throughout Tillamook County, including commercial fisheries, produce and flower farmers, dairy farmers, chefs, restaurants, cheesemakers, brewers, lodging owners, OSU Extension, and non-profits involved in farm to table and boat to table provisions.

“Agritourism is a proven way to develop local businesses and tourism,” said Nan Devlin, tourism director. “With support from the community, Travel Oregon and the transient lodging tax, we can build even more on the economy that this county has been known for across generations.”

CAC host Oct. 21 presentation on domestic abuse Guest speakers Kristina Vatne, victims assistance coordinator for Tillamook County and Valerie Bundy of the Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center, will speak on the topic of abuse during the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee’s monthly meeting on Saturday, Oct. 21. The meeting starts at 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City.

Other agenda items include county updates from the Sitka Sedge State Natural Area, the Count Parks Advisory Committee and the County Roads Advisory Committee. As well, reports from the group’s Lighting Committee, Land Use Committee and Community Plan Review Commitee are on the agenda.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Forum to address the health of the watershed Are coastal drinking waters at risk?

Local water districts have little control over the watershed drainage which supplies cities and towns with clean drinking water year round in most areas of the Oregon Coast.

Progressive Action Tillamook (a citizens information network) and Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection are presenting an open public forum on this vital issue Friday, October 20, from 5:30–8:00 pm., at the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District office, located on Hwy. 101 S. in Hebo.

During the forum, “Behind the Emerald Curtain,” a short film demonstrating what can happen to watersheds when left unprotected from logging and aerial spraying will be shown.

The program will also include a panel discussion on the effects to watersheds from aerial spraying and deforestation.

The discussion panel will include Dr. Susan Katz, MD, an expert on toxi-

cology; Jason Gonzales, representing Oregon Wild; and, Lisa Arkin, executive director of Beyond Toxics, an advocacy group for responsible forest practices.

Katz has years of experience in pediatric medicine, researching and testifying before the Legislature on the effects of toxins on her young patients.

Gonzales lives and organizes on the Oregon Coast and Coast Range Mountains, working with communities facing threats to their water quality.

Current forest practices can have generational effects on watersheds and the availability of safe drinking water.

A common sense approach to watershed management will be discussed.

A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided for the event. The event is free and all are welcome.

For more information, contact Jon Warren at 503-708-0140 or Miel Macassey at 805-453-0928.

I gave a presentation at the Pacific City Library last month about the Nestucca Indians. Here is a short summary of what I have gathered from books about the local Indians and a list of books that the library has on the subject that are very interesting.

There were three tribes in Tillamook County — The Nehalem, Tillamook and Nestucca. There was peaceful interaction between them as they often intermarried and shared hunting and fishing areas. We know much more about the Nehalem and Tillamook from early interviews and archeological digs than the Nestucca. They all spoke a Coast Salish language and all three tribes took advantage of living along the rivers of Tillamook County.

They were flat-head Indians. Mothers placed a small feather-filled pillow on the babies forehead while they nursed and slept for the first eight months of their life to create the flat forehead, which was a sign of distinction.

They were often referred to as “canoe” Indians because of the amount of time spent fishing and paddling the rivers.

Houses were made of cedar slabs often placed near a hill. The abundance of fish, game and berries provided a food base.

The Nestucca had their main village in what was later the town of Woods along the Nestucca River. This area was sheltered from storms, and Town Lake provided fresh water. Seasonal fishing locations were in Sand Lake, Tierra Del Mar, Cape Kiwanda, Neskowin and the mouth of the Nestucca River. Middens of shells and artifacts have been found in these areas.

The Tillamook Museum has a rock mortar found at the mouth of the Nestucca, and arrowheads are still being found today along the beaches and streams.

The Coast Indian Reservation was created in 1855 under Indian Superintendent Joe Palmer. Tillamook Indians were taken from their land and moved to Grande Ronde and the Siletz reservation.

They had always lived peacefully with white settlers and some settlers had married Indian women. Joseph Duncan, chief for the Tillamook Indians, protested the movement to the reservation and said his tribe wanted to stay in their own country and take up land like the whites. Agent Fairchild reported that the Nestucca declined to come to council but sent word to

Grand Ronde that no one had the right to relocate them. Chief Bill and three other Nestucca tried to take up claims under the Homestead Act but were relocated to the Siletz reservation. The last group of Nestucca Indians left by canoe to the Salmon River where they were promised land, food and assistance. The land they were given was seven miles of sand and brush between the Salmon River and Siletz Bay. There were 64 relocated people without shelter, food and extra clothing.

They spent several years in the wind and rain raising horses and cattle before moving on the Siletz reservation.

Local historian Dorothy Gunnes did some research at St. Micheal’s Catholic Church in Grande Ronde and found proof that there was a Chief Kiawanda (Ka-Won-Day).

He was baptized with his wife Ann and several other Nestucca Indians

by Father Croquet.

In 1871, there were 28 Nehalems, 83 Tillamooks and 55 Nestucca.

Here is a list of books describing the Indians of Tillamook County: “The Nehalem Tillamook” — An Ethnography by Elizabeth D. Jacobs. In 1933 and 1934, Elizabeth Jacobs did field work on the Nehalem Tillamook culture by interviewing Clara Pearson born in 1871.

Clara’s mother was a Tillamook Indian.

This book is an exceptional collection of Tillamook Indian life.

“Tillamook Indians of the Oregon Coast” by John Sauter and Bruce Johnson.

The authors were amateur archaeologists who did extensive excavations and research in the areas occupied by the Tillamooks. There are many pictures in the book of artifacts found in Tillamook and products of early Indian culture. There is a section on the Nestucca Indians.

“Tillamook: Land of Many Waters” by Ada M. Orcutt. This book, written in 1952, has a beginning chapter on the Tillamook Indians. She refers to Indians as “Red Men,” which is a dated term and rightly not used any more, but the book has some good information.

The Tillamook Pioneer Museum has room dedicated to the Tillamook Indian tribes. There is a collection of baskets and other artifacts on display. The museum purchased Rose Perez’s wonderful original oil paintings depicting Indian life that are on display in the room also. An Indian cedar canoe found on the Netarts spit is on display in the basement.

A Thrifty Celebration

A Story of the Sea

Watershed Council to host science pub featuring author Wallace J. Nichols

T

he Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watershed Council will host a science pub and booksigning by bestseller author Wallace J. Nichols, who will share what he refers to as “Blue Mind,” a universal story of water, during the Oct. 27 presentation at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Labeled as “Keeper of the Sea” by GQ Magazine and “a visionary” by Outside Magazine, Nichols is billed as an innovative, silo-busting, entrepreneurial scientist, movement maker, renowned marine biologist, voracious earth and idea explorer, wild water advocate, sought after lecturer, and fun-loving dad.

Published in summer 2014 by Little, Brown & Company, “Blue Mind” quickly became a national bestseller and has been translated to numerous languages and inspired a wave of media and practical application.

In this story, society accurately describes all of the physical, ecological, economic, cognitive, emotional, psychological, and social benefits of healthy oceans and waterways. By connecting neuroscientists and psychologists with aquatic experts and artists to ask and answer new questions, his work is reportedly transforming many sectors — including health and well-being; education and parenting; arts, architecture and design; real estate and urban planning; travel and leisure; and sports and recreation.

Paperback copies of “Blue Mind” will be available for purchase for $17 after the talk, but those interested in purchasing are asked to send an email to assistant@nestuccawaters.org so the Watershed Council knows how many books to order beforehand.

Admission to the presentation is $10 for adults

WALLACE J. NICHOLS, author of “Blue Mind,” will give a Science Pub presentation at Kiawanda Community Center on Friday, Oct. 27. and $5 for youth under 18. Tickets, which must be purchased online, are available at eventbrite.com.

South Tillamook County Library is hosting a party to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the Library Thrift shop operating in its current location. The “Mad Hatter”-themed celebration is open to everyone in the community and Photo by Laura Laskey will take place Saturday, LIBRARY THRIFT SHOP Oct. 14, 1 p.m. at the manager Cheryl Trent has library. South Tillamook worked for the shop for County Library branch 17 years. lead Courtney Remington encourages attendees to have fun with the Mad Hatter theme by donning “funky, outrageous hats.” Tea and goodies will be provided.

The library has long depended on the operation of the thrift shop for financial support. While the thrift shop has been in operation in its current location for 20 years, according to the library website the tradition of supporting the library with a thrift shop began as a women’s club rummage sale in the fall of 1971. Over the years — and throughout the development of the library — the thrift shop was housed in different locations. In 1997, the library itself had been established in its current location for two years and it was finally time to allocate resources to the thrift shop, which continued to play an important role in financially supporting the operation of the library. Using money raised by tirelessly dedicated volunteers, the property was acquired and the thrift shop built in its current location.
