VISITS WITH SANTA will be a part of the festivities during the Pacific City Tree Lighting ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 16 at Kiawanda Community Center.

Pelican Brewing Company has received another bronze medal for its multi-decorated Tsunami Export Stout at the Brussels Beer Challenge, an international beer competition held Oct. 28-30 that provided an opportunity for beer producers to compete with the best international and Belgian brewers. This is the fifth medal for Tsunami Stout at the Brussels Beer Challenge.

According to organizers of the international competition, a panel of 80 internationally renowned beer experts judge 1,250 beers from all corners of the world. The participating beers are subdivided into categories based on origin, typology and style, and are then tasted. At the end of the tasting, the best beers in each category are awarded with a gold, silver or bronze medal.

Crafted with roasted malts and unmalted barley, Tsunami Stout is a jet-black, full-bodied ale that features a dense creamy head and distinct dark chocolate and cappuccino flavors that the brewery says swells to a clean, rounded malty finish. Ingredients include pale ale malt, flaked barCourtesy photo ley, chocolate malt, Black Patent PELICAN BREWING’S Tsunami Stout was malt, roasted barley, Magnum awarded a bronze medal at the Brussels Beer hops, Willamette hops, pure local Challenge.

SOLVE to pilot new Oregon Adopt-a-Beach program SOLVE, with the support of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, is piloting a new Oregon Adopt-a-Beach program on the north coast to support ongoing beach cleanups throughout the year. SOLVE is currently seeking groups or individuals who would like to adopt their favorite stretch of beach in Clatsop or Tillamook County through the end of 2018.

According to SOLVE, litter and marine debris continue to threaten the health and safety of Oregon’s public beaches, wildlife, and coastal communities. By adopting a beach, volunteers can help stem the tide of trash year-round. Every volunteer cleanup, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.

Adopting a beach is hailed as a simple process. Program participants choose their favorite beach, clean their adopted stretch at least three times in one year, and report their results back to SOLVE.

Page 2 • Pacific City SUN • December 8, 2017

SOLVE support includes free cleanup supplies, a leader handbook, ongoing project guidance, and limited small grant assistance. All participants will be sent a certificate of adoption and receive recognition on the SOLVE website.

Individuals or groups interested in adopting a beach, or volunteering at a scheduled beach cleanup, can contact Joy Hawkins at joy@solveoregon.org, or 503-844-9571, ext. 317.

SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve the environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to clean up beaches and rivers, and restore watersheds. For more information, visit solveoregon.org.

Community invited to learn about tide gate challenges during Dec. 12 meeting at TBCC Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto is convening a Dec. 12 meeting intended to engage local landowners, tribes, communities and conservation organizations on the importance of the repair and replacement of failing tide gates in Tillamook County.

Held at Tillamook Bay Community College, 4301 3rd St., Tillamook, in conference rooms 214 and 215, the meeting will start at 10 a.m. with a meet and greet, followed by the meeting at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will be co-hosted by the Oregon Farm Bureau, Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Tillamook County Creamery Association, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and the Association of Oregon Counties.

According to organizers, by learning more about tide gates, their condition

and the lands they protect, the public has an opportunity to build support around funding, engineering and regulatory solutions.

Agenda items will include discussion on the challenges with tide gate repair and replacement — including the escalating cost, limited replacement options and permitting and funding hurdles. Organizers are also seeking input and advice directly from landowners and local communities, partners and others, from whom they hope to hear from on what elements of tide gates are working and what are not. Following the meeting, organizers hope to formulate a plan to address tide gate challenges and pursue opportunities to help ensure the problems can be addressed through a collaborative process.

Recreational crab harvesting reopens on a portion of coast The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced on Dec. 5 that recreational crabbing is now open from the north jetty of the Coquille River to the Columbia River.

An area from Tahkenitch Creek (north of Winchester Bay) to Cape Foulweather (north of Newport) was previously closed due to elevated domoic acid levels. Recent crab samples taken from the area indicate these levels have dropped and remain below the alert level.

This reopening of the recreational season applies to crab harvested in the ocean and in bays and estuaries, and on beaches, docks, piers, and jetties. Recreational crab harvesting remains closed along the southern Oregon coast from the north jetty of the Coquille River (including the Coquille estuary) to the California border.

Before crabbing, crab fishermen are asked to confirm the status of ODFW/ ODA harvest areas relative to concerns

about elevated biotoxins at oregon.gov/ ODA/programs/FoodSafety/Shellfish/ Pages/ShellfishClosures.aspx.

In summary, recreational crabbing is currently open in the ocean and in all bays and estuaries that are not under the health advisory; commercial ocean crabbing is delayed in all areas until at least Dec. 16; and commercial bay crabbing remains closed in all areas due to the delay in the ocean commercial Dungeness crab fishery.

It is always recommended to eviscerate the crab and discard the “butter” (viscera or guts) prior to cooking. When whole crab are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may leach into the cooking liquid. It is recommended to discard the cooking liquid, and do not use it in other dishes, such as sauces, broths, soups, stews, stocks, roux, dressings, etc. The consumption of crab viscera is not recommended.

For more information, call ODA’s shellfish safety information hotline at 800-448-2474.

talkback Airport support encouraged After multiple closed-door, executive sessions, the Oregon Department of Aviation Board voted in October to sell a critical public asset — Pacific City’s state airport. Made without proper input from key stakeholders, this decision strains the public trust and stirs a sense of déjà vu.

Stakeholder outreach was similarly deficient five years ago when ODA officials thought to close the airport. After community members and municipal officials intervened, ODA Director Mitch Swecker issued a promise that outreach and public input would play a vital role in future airport management decisions. That wasn’t the case with October’s pivotal ODA decision. Those left out of the conversation include: emergency and government officials, business operators, air commuters and other pilots who frequent the airport, and nearby homeowners.

As a local property owner and Oregon Pilots Association member, I was pleased to learn that state and local leaders have stepped up to host a town hall event about the proposed airport sale. Sponsored by Sen. Arnie Roblan, Rep. David Gomberg and the Tillamook County Commissioners, the public meeting is set for 5-7 p.m. Jan. 8 at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr. This town hall offers an opportunity for ODA to fulfill its Page 4 • Pacific City SUN • December 8, 2017

promise —to offer stakeholders a voice and allow us to collaborate on solutions.

We also deserve an explanation of how and why the ODA’s decision was made and the potential impacts of selling such a valuable public asset.

Indeed, along with our dory boats and recreational offerings, our airport contributes to an active economy. Within five minutes of landing, fly-in visitors can be found patronizing shops and restaurants. Our airport also provides access to valuable 24/7 emergency services; and, in addition to serving Life Flight, it offers a training area for the U.S. Coast Guard.

Back in 1951-52, 10 area families so strongly believed that a public airport would benefit our community, they each sold their lands for a mere $1 expressly to create that airport. In fact, a deed reversionary clause requires that land ownership revert to those families if the property is no longer used for that express purpose. How would these original benefactors feel, knowing their land could be sold to a private investor? Citizen engagement is central to our Oregon values and expectations. Decision-makers need meaningful input to make good decisions. Please consider participating in the Jan. 8 town hall to help ODA plot a wiser course for our public airport.

THE PACIFIC CITY-NESTUCCA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE presented a check to the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association for $4,964.37 at the Chamber’s annual awards banquet on Dec. 5. The check represented the Dorymen’s Association share of the proceeds from the 2017 Dory Days Festival as the two groups have continued their agreement to share both the work and the profit from the annual event.

Accepting the check on behalf of the Association was Melita Spath.

t takes dedication and a love of the area to make a community thrive. And when individuals and organizations show their commitment in an important way, an acknowledgement is in order.

Hence, the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards banquet.

Held Dec. 5 at Pelican Pub in Pacific City, the annual gala featured the Chamber handing out three awards — Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. The event also featured a dinner crafted by the Pelican, silent and oral auctions, a “mystery box” fundraiser and speaker Grant McOmie of KGW-TV’s Grant’s Getaways.

Getting the nod as the 2017 Volunteer of the Year was Dorothy Gann, who was lauded by outgoing Chamber President Verne Mobley for her talent, personality and leadership. “(She) does an awfully good job, and we’re proud that (Dorothy) is in our community,” Mobley said.

A resident of South Tillamook County for the last 12 years, Gann’s volunteer service includes experience on three local boards — the Nesko Women’s Club, the Nestucca Valley Lions Club, where she is the current president, and the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors, where she was appointed a board member on Nov. 8. As well, she has served as co-chair of the Nestucca Valley Lions Christmas Basket Program, led fundraisers for the Lions Club and helped to organize the Clover’s Day celebration.

This year’s Citizen of the Year was an organization rather than an individual or duo. Winning the honor was the Kiawanda Community Center, hailed by presenter Doug Olson for the contribution the facility offers the community.

“It’s really the center of activity here in Pacific City,” Olson said, adding that the facility is home to hundreds of events, meetings and gatherings each year.

Amongst the events and meetings hosted by the center are school events, NW Senior and Disability Services Meals on Wheels program, the Tuesday Stitchers, and the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee. The center also hosts numerous weddings, memorial services and is designated as an American Red Cross Emergency Center.

“We’ve had a number of town halls (there) to talk about a whole variety of issues,” Olson added. “It’s also home to the Nestucca, Neskowin (and Sand Lake)

Watershed Council.”

He also pointed to the center’s recent 1,150 square foot expansion, which was primarily funded by a Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax grant.

“They’re able to seat in excess of 200 people now,” Olson said. “The whole thing is ADA accessible, and it’s just an absolutely wonderful facility.”

Accepting the award was Kiawanda Community Center administrator Nettie Casiano and longtime bookkeeper Michelle Hughes.

“It’s all about community. It’s all about volunteers. It’s all about the village,” Casiano said.

“Our Community Center is made up of very diverse volunteers who bring diverse skills to serve a diverse community for very diverse events,” she later told the Sun. “We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished and look forward to serving our community in the future. It was very special for us to get recognized for what we’ve been doing for 20 years.”

Winning the 2017 Business of the Year award was Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service, which has served the area since

it was started by Roy and Eleanor Dye in 1949. Though co-owners Paul and Sandy Carbaugh were unable to attend the banquet, their daughter Jennifer was present to accept the award. She read an acceptance letter penned by Sandy in accepting the award.

“Nestucca Valley Sanitary Service is proud to be counted as one of the small family businesses here in South Tillamook County that help to continue to support our local economy,” she read. “We have the joy of working with other businesses and organizations to continue to encourage others to visit our area and find out why we believe we live in a unique and beautiful part of this county.”

The event is also one of the Chamber’s largest fundraisers of the year. Though final numbers had not been tallied at press time, incoming Chamber president Susan Amort said that she expects the event will raise at least $7,000.

“I think it was a great event,” she told the Sun. “I think everybody had a really great time. We were happy to be able to recognize those folks who received awards.”

A Pitch for Higher Density

Committee responds to suggestions on revised community plan

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun A small number of community members shared their concerns about the proposed changes to the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan — and its accompanying zoning changes — during the Nov. 20 Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee meeting at Kiawanda Community Center.

Amongst those sharing their concerns was Community Plan Review Committee member Bud Miller, who urged residents to take a close look at the increase in density proposed in the plan.

As reported in the Oct. 13 issue of the Sun, the first draft of the changes called for a significant change in density in R3 (high density residential) zoned areas that would make a oneto eight-family dwelling — including townhouses, rowhouses, apartments and condominiums — a use permitted outright. Currently, uses permitted outright are limited to a four-family dwelling in R3 zoned property. As well, the proposed changes removed the requirement for an additional 2,000 square feet of lot area for each additional family unit on a minimum sized lot — which is 5,000 square feet — in R3 zones.

In addition, height limits were raised in the initial proposal — from 35 feet to 45 in R3 zones and 50 feet in

commercial zones.

“The big change (in the proposal is going) from having one or two multifamily units on a lot up to eight (units),” Miller told the CAC. “That’s even more significant because the existing (codes say), for example, you have a 5,000 square foot minimum for a lot and (that) if you’re going (to have) two family units, you have to add 2,000 square feet to that lot (and for) three (family units), 2,000 more.

That’s all going away. Essentially what we’re creating is much denser (neighborhoods).”

He also took issue with the increase in maximum heights allowed.

Part-time resident Zach Best also shared his concerns, saying that though he’s pro development, he thinks the proposal is looking in the wrong spots.

“Existing property is being converted into ‘mini apartments,’” he said. “That’s not too terribly red-hot for everyone else’s market value.”

“I think we need to think very carefully before we make any changes here in the name of progress,” added Pacific City resident Daryle Jimmerson. “I’ve been a longtime resident here. Every time we do something in the name of progress here, for the full-time residents, it’s detrimental.”

For her part, Review Committee member Ielean Rouse defended the proposal, noting that it is a first draft and that the goal of creating an

environment that would encourage workforce housing is still admirable.

“The committee has worked on the draft for a very long time,” she said. “(We’re) working very hard to meet the goal of workforce housing.

We need to hear from the community — that is why we are giving you a couple more months to let us know about your thoughts on this draft.”

In response to the voiced concerns, the Review Committee modified the proposal slightly during their Dec. 5 meeting. The revisions will be presented at the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for Dec. 16, starting at 10:30 a.m., at Pacific Coast Bible Church.

Rouse told the Sun that the committee decided to eliminate the proposed height increases but to keep the higher density proposals in the draft.

“We tried to accommodate workforce housing (with these changes), and we think it can be done within the (current) heights,” she said.

She added that the proposal is still in draft form and that the committee is still taking comments — including at the upcoming CAC meeting, which interim director of Tillamook County Department of Community Development Sara Absher will attend.

“We’re taking in comments and listening to (them),” she said.

NVCA to host Dec. 16 meeting to address community park The Nestucca Valley Community Alliance is hosting a meeting on Saturday, Dec. 16, 1-2:30 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, for its planned community park that will be located just southeast of Cape Kiwanda.

Agenda items will include discussions on the park’s electric gate opener, park grants, grants for its 2018 Science Camp, donation campaigns, fund raisers and upcoming elections. The public is welcome to attend.

The NVCA reports that in the last two years, it has made significant progress on the park. Accomplishments include receiving a Transient Lodging Tax grant to develop a gravel parking lot, contracting with HHPR for landscape engineering and local contractor Earthworks for construction of the parking lot, and receiving a TPUD grant to install a radio-controlled gate that provides for security as well as emergency vehicle access. As well, NVCA operated the improved area as a parking lot for visitors to Cape Kiwanda — earning approximately $3,000 from parking fee proceeds in the process.

The NVCA’s agenda for 2018 includes pursuing grants to fund a children’s playground, picnic benches, and trash and restroom facilities for the park. They are also planning on holding an open house for the park that will give visitors and residents a chance to tour the park property.

The Alliance is still seeking volunteer help as well as donations, which can be sent to NVCA, P.O. Box 253, Pacific City, OR 97135. For more information, visit nestucca. org.

aroundthecounty Master Gardener training to restart on Jan. 11 Would you like to learn more about gardening on the Oregon Coast? If so, perhaps the OSU Master Gardener training is for you.

Participants do not have to be an expert to become an OSU Master Gardener.

Anyone with a sincere interest in gardening and horticulture, including gardeners, farmers, and nursery workers are encouraged to participate in the 2018 Tillamook OSU Extension Service Master Gardener training. The program includes 66 hours of instruction, and classes are taught by OSU faculty/staff and by local volunteers.

The Master Gardener program was designed to provide in-depth training for local gardeners who will volunteer in the community to help the OSU Extension Service answer home and community horticulture questions for the public.

For those willing to volunteer in their community the fee for the training

is $120, which includes the “Sustainable Gardening” text book and all class materials. OSU Master Gardeners provide 60 hours of volunteer service during the year after they complete their training.

They work with other Master Gardeners to answer questions at the OSU Extension office, volunteer at the Master Gardener Learning Garden and help educate others in the community about gardening.

Those that do not have the time to volunteer may take the training and receive a certificate of horticulture for $240.

Classes are held each Thursday, starting on Jan. 11 and continuing through April 5. The classes are from 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., with an hour for lunch, and are held at the Extension Service meeting room.

For more information, contact the OSU Extension Service, 4506 Third Street, Tillamook, 503-842-3433 or visit http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook.

TAPA to hold auditions for ‘Suitehearts,’ Dec. 8-9 The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts is holding auditions for the production of Suitehearts, a comedy written by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore. This production will be directed by Chris Chiola. Van Zandt and Milmore both achieved their fame as writers and actors in many plays and television shows such as Newhart, while Chiola has been acting, directing and producing at TAPA for more than 10 years.

TAPA is looking for actors to play the following roles: Elizabeth Taylor – a young newlywed from Pennsylvania unsure about her first night with her new husband, hoping the boy she married can become the man she needs; Timothy Taylor – her young and nervous new husband also from Pennsylvania;

Frankie Bellamy – a pseudo-swinger from New Jersey with an open shirt and gold chains, macho in looks only; Wanda Bellamy – Frankie’s new wife.

Peroxide blonde and cheap-looking on the outside, but full of love and affection on the inside; and Herman the Bellman – quick witted and ready to make an extra buck.

Auditions will be held Dec. 8 and 9, 3-5 p.m., both days at the Tillamook County Library main branch at Third and Stillwell in Tillamook. Rehearsals will start in January and the production runs March 9-25. Audition packets will be available at the front counter of the Tillamook County Library in Tillamook, online at www.tillamooktheater.com or by contacting Chris Chiola at 503-8426305.

Postcards tell story of early Cape Kiwanda

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun Cape Kiwanda is one of the most photographed headlands on the Oregon Coast.

Professional and amateur photographers have photographed the Cape from every angle.

Clyde Hudson, an early South Tillamook County pioneer, recognized it’s beauty and started photographing Haystack Rock and the Cape as soon as he bought his Sears and Roebuck box camera in 1900. Some of these images have been valuable in comparing the changes to the Cape over the past 100 years.

Hudson had a postcard machine where he could make his own black and white images for friends.

He later developed a successful postcard business with his images of ocean sunsets and Cape Kiwanda. Here are three of his colored postcard images.

Christmas tree lighting set for Dec. 16 The Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, together with the Kiawanda Community Center will host the Pacific City Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony Saturday, Dec. 16, starting at 5:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Activities will include a visit by Santa — arriving aboard one of Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s fire engines — at 5:45 p.m. and the tree lighting at 6 p.m. Activities are scheduled for both inside and outside — weather permitting — as the center has decorated trees both outside and inside for the event.

“Our community looks forward to this time of year to gather the children in our local area to enjoy the spirit of Christmas,” said organizer Jacie Voegeli.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their camera or cell phone to take pictures of their little ones with Santa.
