ommunity members gathered at the Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub’s annual Veteran’s Day event on Saturday, Nov. 11 to pay tribute to the sacrifices the men and women who have worn — or still are wearing — the military uniform have made for their country and our way of life.

It was an opportunity to not only share a meal with the veterans of this community that have given so much, but also to check out memorabilia from many servicemen and women. As well, those present heard from veteran and Pacific City resident Tom Donohue.

“Our flag resonates the three basic colors of red, for blood for those that have sacrificed for our country; white for the honor of our servicemen and our patriots; and blue, for loyalty to our

country and our constitution,” Donohue told attendees. “Our country was formed on its wars. It’s a sad state of affairs, but it’s reality. From the revolutionary War to the Korean War, War of 1812, Vietnam War, first Iraq War, our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have been there and sacrificed to maintain liberty for all mankind — not just our own citizens.”

He also said veterans deserved the credit for the many freedoms U.S. citizens enjoy today. “(It’s the) veteran, not the preacher, who has given us the freedom of religion,” he said. “It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press; it is the veteran, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech; it is the veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial; (and) it is the veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.”

inbrief No license required to fish the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving ODFW is waiving all fishing licensing requirements on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to #optoutside with friends and family during the long holiday weekend.

On Nov. 24 and 25, all fishing, crabbing and clamming in Oregon will be free for both Oregon residents and non-residents. That means no licenses, tags or endorsements are needed on those days. All other fishing regulations apply.

Good spots are outlined in the ODFW’s Recreation Report at https:// myodfw.com/recreation-report, which is updated on Wednesday each week. ODFW is reminding fishing enthusiasts to check water conditions and the weather forecast before heading out and dress appropriately.

They’re also cautioning anglers to be wary of high surf here at the coast.

Thanksgiving usually marks the beginning of winter steelhead season on the coast, and some early returning hatchery fish have already been caught.

While some crabbing closures are in effect due to domoic acid and ocean crabbing is closed, recreational crabbing is open in bays and estuaries and on beaches, docks, and piers from the north jetty of Coos Bay to Tahkenitch Creek and from north of Cape Foulweather to the Columbia River. Bay clam and mussel harvesting are currently open along the entire Oregon coast and razor clamming is open on Clatsop County beaches.

For tips on how and where to fish, crab and clam, visit myodfw. com.

Birding & Blues taps Strycker as 2018 featured speaker

On Our Cover:

The Pacific City Birding & Blues Festival has announced that writer, photographer and birder Noah Strycker will be the featured speaker for the 2018 event, which is set for April 20-22.

Strycker’s third book, “Birding Without Borders,” was just released. In it, he documents his worldwide travels during an effort to observe as many species as possible in a single calendar year. In 2015, he set a world record by spotting 6,042 species — more than half the species on the planet.

His presentation will take place on Saturday, April 21, and will feature his traveling and birding adventures. He will also lead two field trips. For more information on the 2018 Birding and Blues Festival, visit birdingandblues.org.

inbrief Contractor begins work on PCJWSA’s wastewater treatment plant upgrade McLure & Sons has begun work on Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority’s wastewater treatment plant improvement project as the first equipment began rolling in on Nov. 10, following a Nov. 8 pre-construction meeting with the PCJWSA staff.

Notice to proceed for the $10.6 million project was issued on Oct. 30. Substantial completion — meaning all is operational for its intended purpose — is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2019 and final completion — at which point all minor “punch list” items will be completed — is Feb. 9, 2019.

Authority manager Tony Owen told the Sun that the first focus of the construction effort is to get erosional control in place and to get new powerlines into the facility.

“Everything’s going smooth so far,” Owen told the Sun. “So far (the contractor) seems to be right on the ball. We just want it to continue smoothly.”

A Seaside Celebration

Chamber to fete top citizen, volunteer and business at Dec. 5 annual awards banquet

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he many accomplishments, milestones and successes of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, as well as the community at large, will be highlighted on Tuesday, Dec. 5 when the Chamber hosts “Celebration by the Sea,” its 15th annual awards banquet at the Pelican Pub. The gala event, which begins at 6 p.m. with a no host bar and appetizers, will feature the Chamber’s effort to put the spotlight on those that have made a difference this year — and beyond — as the group will laud the year’s “Business of the Year,” “Volunteer of the Year,” and “Citizen of the Year.”

In selecting this year’s winners, the Chamber solicited recommendations from the community before the Chamber board made final determinations at its board meeting on Nov. 7 As previously reported in the Sun, the Volunteer of the Year will be “someone who has given of his or her time to one or more organizations or projects which help make Tillamook County a better place to live and do business;” the Business of the Year is to celebrate a business or organization that has made an impact on the region, whether that means more jobs, a new service or product or a significant investment in the area; and, the Citizen of the Year will award an individual who has “stepped up in one or more areas to help make South Tillamook County the great place it is.”

“It’s an opportunity for the business community to come together and celebrate their accomplishments for the year,” said event organizer and incoming (2018) Chamber president Susan Amort.

“The banquet is an opportunity to celebrate the business community.”

The event will also feature both a silent and oral auction, an update on the achievements of the Chamber and dinner. This year’s featured speaker will be a recognizable face as Grant McOmie of “Grant’s Getaways,” seen on KGW-TV, will share his experiences from his travels around Oregon following the silent auction. He will also be signing copies of his latest book “Grant’s Getaways: Oregon Adventures with the Kids.”

McOmie is an Oregon journalist, author and teacher who writes and produces stories and special programs about the people, places, outdoor activities and environmental issues of the Pacific Northwest.

He is a graduate of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. In addition, he continued graduate studies in Journalism, English and Speech Communications at the University of Washington and the University of Portland, (Master of

Arts.) He currently teaches Media Arts and Environmental Science classes at Pacific University.

McOmie began his broadcast career at Portland’s KGW-TV in 1982, followed by a stint at KOMO-TV in Seattle, and then many years at KATU-TV in Portland.

He returned to KGW in 2008.

While he has had a varied career reporting and producing topical and timely environmental news stories, features and documentary programs, it’s been the exploration of the Pacific Northwest back roads and byways that he has enjoyed the most and provided the dominant themes in his work.

He has received significant awards for his work including numerous Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He shares the honor of the “Edward R. Murrow Award” for News Coverage from the Radio-Television News Directors Association as well as many Oregon AP and OAB News Awards over the past three decades.

McOmie is also the author of a series of books including his latest, “Grant’s Getaways-Oregon Adventures with the Kids,” which was published June 6. He’s also written: “101 Grant’s Getaways,” and “Grant’s Getaways-A Guide to Wildlife Watching in Oregon” — based upon his popular travel and outdoor recreation television programs that air on KGW-TV in Portland.

Tickets to the event are $50 each and must be purchased in advance (by Nov. 26) as seating is limited. Less than 20 tickets remained at press time. Dinner will include attendee’s choice of an entrée

To purchase tickets, call Susan Amort at 503-312-4622.

The event is also one of the Chamber’s most important fundraisers of the year. Helping to power this needed effort will be donations from the community that will be featured in both the silent and oral auctions. The silent auction will start at 6 p.m. and the live auction will follow dinner, which will start at6:45 p.m. In addition, the Chamber will hold a “mystery box” fundraiser, for which attendees can purchase entry into a drawing for $20 each. In total, 50 “mystery boxes” will be raffled off, each with cash prizes ranging from $2 to $100.

During the oral auction, led by auctioneer and 2017 Chamber president Verne Mobley, attendees will compete for items including Portland Trailblazer tickets, a getaway to Whispering Woods Resort and two birthday parties at the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Hebo fire hall.

Silent auction items will feature a myriad of goods and services from local businesses, Duck and Beaver paraphernalia, gift certificates to local eateries and shops, power tools, Tillamook Cheese, surfing lessons and more.

“We even have a Christmas tree to auction off,” Amort said.

For more information on the upcoming banquet or to drop off a donation for the auction, call Susan Amort at 503-3124622. To learn more about the activities of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, visit pcnvchamber.org.

‘Fill the Boot’ earns $6,500 in 2017

NESTUCCA VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTER’S ASSOCIATION president Bill Slaven (at right) presented a $6,500 check to Oregon Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraising coordinators Wally David and Amanda David during a Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District drill on Nov. 20. Monies for the donation were powered by the Volunteer Association’s “fill the boot” activities, which included stops at Dory Days and Clover’s Day. It was also aided by individuals and local businesses who helped sponsor the Fireman’s Pancake Breakfast, as wellk as the Association’s first-ever Fireman’s Dune Climb — both events held during Dory Days. The $6,500 donated in 2017 represents a doubling of what was raised and donated to MDA by the Volunteer Association in 2016. The MDA has partnered with local and national fire departments for nearly 65 years and raised funds to fight more than 40 various muscular diseases in the process. In addition to supporting affected individuals and families, MDA continues to fund research to find cures. They also sponsor a summer camp in Salem. Statewide, Oregon firefighters have raised more than $500,000 in their local communities. The Volunteer Association told the Sun that they “thank all who contributed this year to their MDA fundraising activities.”

Siletz donates $1,403 to Nestucca art program

The Sand Lake Working Group, a group led by the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watershed Council working to foster collaboration between groups involved with the Sand Lake basin, will hold a community meeting on Friday, Dec. 1, 4-6 p.m., at Sand Lake Grange, 21220 Sandlake Rd., to take public input from stakeholders and interested community members on potential watershed improvements.

The Working Group includes two representatives from the Tierra Del Mar Community, as well as officials from Oregon Water Enhancement Board, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Oregon Park and Recreation Department, DEQ, Tillamook County, National Resource Conservation

Service, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, North Coast Land Conservancy, and the Watershed Council.

The SLWG had its first meeting on Oct. 4, when they discussed management goals and data. A goal of the group is to ensure that all the involved agencies, many of which have been working with different data sets and different understandings of the resources, get on the same page, Watershed Council coordinator Haley Lutz told the Sun. Another key part of the team is the group’s partnership towards developing a Limiting Factors Analysis for coho salmon in the watershed. At stake is a OWEB-funded grant, which includes a match from USFWS, that will pay for a consultant to collect and analyze data identified by the group, and fill in missing data gaps as they develop an LFA for coho. The Watershed Council will then be able to prioritize restoration work in the

basin.

But before this group goes forward, they want buy-in from the community. Hence Lutz’s plan to hold a community meeting after each work group session.

“A really big and important component of this project is to include residents and interested community members throughout the process,” Lutz said. “Anyone’s welcome to attend. We want as many voices as we can. All of these land owners are absolutely integral to doing restoration in the community so we want their feedback and input.

“This is a bottom-up approach.

We’re really trying to have this be community driven and not agencies and organizations telling the community what’s going to happen in the basin.”

Start of commercial Dungeness crab season delayed The traditional Dec. 1 opening of the commercial Dungeness crab season will be delayed until at least Dec. 16 along the entire Oregon coast as testing shows crabs are too low in meat yield.

The ocean commercial Dungeness crab season in Oregon is targeted to open Dec. 1, but can be delayed to ensure a high-quality product to consumers and avoid wastage of the resource. Crab quality testing in early November showed that none of the test areas met the criteria for a Dec. 1 opening.

The delayed opening will allow for crabs to fill with more meat.

A second round of crab quality testing will occur in late November or early December, and the results will be used to determine if the season should open Dec. 16, be further delayed, or be split into two areas with different opening dates.

Currently there are crab closures in effect for recreationally and commercially harvested crab from bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers, and jetties due to elevated levels of domoic acid from Cape Foulweather to Tahkenitch Creek and from north jetty of Coos Bay to the California border. Crab harvesting outside of these areas remains open in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers, and jetties.

In conjunction with the delayed ocean commercial season, commercial harvest of Dungeness crab in Oregon bays that are currently open will close at 12:01 a.m. Dec. 1, but may reopen if the ocean commercial fishery opens in December.

Recreational harvest of Dungeness crab in the ocean off Oregon will open Dec. 1 as scheduled in areas where there are no Oregon Department of Agriculture health advisories.
