Silverspot Butterfly on Flight Path to Reintroduction Collaborative efforts would expand populations on Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Saddle Mountain State Natural Area

magine walking through an open meadow along the Oregon coastline and you are surrounded by butterflies with wings of yellow-orange fluttering all around you. This enchanting scene is closer to becoming a reality as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and partners are moving forward with plans for re-establishing two populations of the threatened Oregon silverspot butterfly. The locations identified for potential reintroduction, both within the butterfly’s historical range, are the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Pacific City and Saddle Mountain State Natural Area in central Clatsop County. Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge has been actively restoring habitat for silverspots in preparation for their return. Saddle Mountain State Natural Area, owned and managed by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, has high numbers of nectar and violet plants and should be to the butterfly’s liking. “The collaborative work by several partnering conservation organizations to restore the butterfly’s habitat at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge began back in 2010,” Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex project leader Kelly Moroney said. “I’m excited to see all the hard work of those involved in restoring the coastal prairie habitat coming to fruition with the reintroduction of the butterfly in the early part of next year. It’s extremely rewarding to be a part of this effort to bring back a native species to its coastal ecosystem on our refuge.” The Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System plays an essential role in helping protect and conserve our nation’s most at risk species, including recent local conservation successes with the greater sage-grouse, Columbian white-tailed deer and Oregon chub. At one time, the Oregon silverspot butterfly was widespread among 20 distinct locations from northern California to southern Washington. Only five populations currently remain, four in Oregon and one in California. The species gained Endangered Species Act protections in 1980 when it was listed as threatened. More recently, concern for the species has increased due to dramatic declines observed in 2014 and 2015 at all four existing Oregon sites. The Service is working with its partners

THE SILVERSPOT BUTTERFLY may soon have a new home thanks to the work of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, along with many partners, who have been working towards re-establishing two populations of the threatened species. Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Pacific City and Saddle Mountain State Natural Area in Clatsop County are potential reintroduction sites. at the Oregon and Woodland Park Zoos, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, and the U.S. Forest Service to reverse this trend, including this effort to reintroduce new populations. To increase the likelihood of success, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to designate these populations as experimental to provide surrounding landowners with assurances the reintroductions will not impose economic or regulatory restrictions on their properties. “If we can successfully establish two additional self-sustaining populations of Oregon silverspot butterflies, it will contribute greatly toward meeting the recovery goal of 10 populations in six distinct areas” said Paul Henson, the Service’s Oregon State Supervisor. “By designating the new populations as experimental, we can alleviate concerns of adjacent landowners apprehensive about having an endangered species on their land, thereby encouraging conservation.” The Service is partnering with the Oregon Zoo and Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, which are providing Oregon silverspot pupae for the reintroductions through their imperiled species recovery programs. Each year, a small number of female butterflies are collected from the wild and brought to zoo conserva-

Pacific City

tion labs, where they lay large numbers of eggs. The eggs hatch into tiny larvae, which are kept safe over the winter and released the following year to augment wild silverspot populations. These programs substantially increase the number of offspring surviving to adulthood. “We are honored to be able to play a key role in recovering this species from the brink of extinction,” said Dr. Don Moore, Oregon Zoo director. “Pollinators like butterflies are vital for ecosystem health and, ultimately, for our own health.” The primary limiting factor for the Oregon silverspot is lack of its caterpillar host plant, the early blue violet. The butterfly needs these violets to be densely-packed and in high numbers, surrounded by other native nectar plants. This type of coastal prairie habitat was historically maintained by regular natural disturbances such as fire, but now it is very rare naturally and often must be created and managed for it to be sustained, mostly due to invasive species. The proposed rule for the reintroduction was published in the Federal Register on Dec. 23. The proposal and instructions on how to provide comments can be found at www.fws.gov/ oregonfwo/. Comments will be accepted through Feb. 21, 2017.

hat do you want to see in our community? What don’t you want to see? Those were the central topics of a discussion at the Dec. 17 Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee meeting as the group took another look at the various planning documents and surveys in an attempt to see both what can be addressed now and later. The effort, dubbed the “20/30/40 Plan,” is the brainchild of CAC chair Sean Carlton, who says that while there’s plenty of surveys and planning documents on the shelf — the latest being Tillamook County’s “Cape Kiwanda Master Plan” — the real challenge is translating those plans and opinions into action. To help jumpstart this, he is devoting a portion of CAC meetings during the coming year to working an a 20-, 30- and 40-year plan of action. Discussion around the plan at the Dec. 17 meeting revolved around a homework assignment Carlton gave to CAC members during the November meeting: to come prepared to share a wish list for the community. CAC member Bud Miller said he’d like to see consideration of restricted parking on the beach at Cape Kiwanda, an idea that had both its supporters and retractors during the development of the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan. One of the hard parts of such a change is that it would require State of Oregon approval as they have jurisdiction over the beach. “I’m just suggesting that (beach parking restrictions) might be a project that this group could work on,” Miller said. “A suggestion would be that the dories would essentially have access all year but other cars would only have access, for example, from March 15 to Sept. 15. There’s all kinds of different restriction in different areas of the beach so it’s apparently possible to have access in part of the year but not the whole year. That’s what they do in Tierra Del Mar.” “This is certainly one of the things that could be on the table,” Carlton responded. “(During the Master Plan process), some people thought it was a really good idea to eliminate parking on the beach and other people thought it was a horrible idea. There’s definitely some mixed ideas about that, but I think it should absolutely be on the table and be one of the things that we should take a look at.” Another item on the wish list came courtesy of CAC member Doug Olson, who, noting that the wish list assignment was broadened with a “if money were no object” instruction, said he’d like to see an emergency shelter built above the tsunami inundation zone. “I would like to see a shelter up on the hill somewhere so when a tornado or a tsunami or who knows what (happens), there would be a place for people on the flatlands here to go to,” he said. “I don’t know where it would go, but it would be something similar to what’s in the Cannon Beach-Seaside area where it would at least be above where we think is a a high-water line for a severe tsunami, and, if money were no object, you would build it like they do in San Francisco, which is basically on roller

bearings so it will roll around (during) an earthquake. It would have provisions — let’s say for 30 days — and maybe the ability to bring in a helicopter and some sanitation facilities and a lot of dry food and water purification.” Carlton said he thought it was a great idea and added that some sort of facility could be tackled with less than an unlimited amount of money. “Something I have thought about (is having) some sort of a small tsunami-proof shelter up at the water tank that’s up on the hill…It might not be an earthquake-proof shelter for people, but it might be a starting point,” he said. Reading notes from a discussion with CAC member Nancy Bush, CAC secretary Anne Price said that Bush would like to see garbage cans at the four-way stop. Bush is concerned that Pacific City will become one big commercial town, with the lack of affordable housing and the needs of dorymen relative to surfers and crowds on the beach. Price said Olson’s bottom line is she’s afraid that normal people won’t be able to buy or live in Pacific City if we stay on the path we are now. Following the list of wants and worries, Carlton turned the discussion to his plan on developing a document that will put together common wants and needs from the variety of planning materials available into one master document. He noted, as he has done at prior meetings, that the one thing that seems to come to the foreground in any discussion is the community’s desire for a multi-use path that could serve both pedestrians and bicyclists. Carlton also said that whatever changes are made, they’ll have to be done with a sensitivity to the community’s resistance to too much growth. “I went back and looked at the surveys that this group has put out over the years, and one of the things that has come out strongly in the surveys is this community has a pretty strong sensitivity to growth — whether that be growth of housing, growth of tourism, (or) growth of the town’s commercial (areas),” he said. “There’s a fairly strong concern over growth, so I think the challenge that we’re gong to have is how do we balance things that this community wants, and, perhaps things this community needs, with how do we also keep this community kind of small and quaint and not focused on growth. I think that’s a big challenge.” With that in mind, Carlton asked CAC members to come to the January meeting, which is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 16, 6:30 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City, with ideas on how the community can balance its wants and needs with its desire to limit growth. “How do we prioritize?” asked Carlton. “How do we choose? How do we create the community that we want that’s a balance between keeping this town what it has historically been in terms of character but also be able to add some things to it that we all think that we might need?” For more information about the Pacific City-Woods CAC, visit www. pcwoodscac.org.

ome March 1, many property owners in South Tillamook County could just find themselves with a more inexpensive homeowner’s insurance bill. And for those that do, they’ll have Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District to thank. Fire Chief Kris Weiland says that over the years he has had to write hundreds of letters explaining to insurance agents and property owners that it was the Insurance Service Office (ISO) rules and expectations that changed — not the ability of the fire district. In a Nov. 21 letter to Nestucca Fire Board of Directors Chairman Ken Crowe, ISO, which Photo by Tim Hirsch produces ratings used THE ADDITION OF A LADDER TRUCK, as well as improved trainings are amongst by many— but not all the reasons that Nestucca Fire Protection District has improved its ISO insurance — insurance comparating, which, in turn, should save money for residents of the districrt. nies, the district was informed that many believes to be unfair. residents will be upgraded from a 6 or 8B rating to a “What they’re looking for is (a fire) apparatus 5.

HAWK CREEK GOLF COURSE in Neskowin boasts a large lit up golfer this year as part of Visit Tillamook Coast’s Village Lights pilot program, designed to draw visitors to Tillamook County during the winter off-season.

Holiday lights brighten coast First year of Visit Tillamook Coast’s lighting project aims to draw visitors during winter months

ave you noticed there are a lot more colorful lights throughout Tillamook County this holiday season? That’s not by happy accident. Visit Tillamook Coast, the county’s tourism organization, launched a Village Lights pilot program this year to create a holiday experience that hopes to draw visitors to Tillamook County during the non-peak tourist season. Participating towns and areas chose a theme that can be built upon over the years. For instance, Wheeler has “swimming” salmon, Garibaldi has a colorful crab pot tree and Santa in a fishing boat, Tillamook and Cloverdale feature cows, and Neskowin has a giant golfer placed at the clubhouse. “Shore Acres State Park south of Coos Bay was our model for this program. The park draws tens of thousands of visitors in winter because of their holiday lights event,” said Nan Devlin, tourism director. “In fact, it was the park’s volunteer group that helped us contact lighting suppliers, showed us how to organize the setup and storage of lights, and encouraged us to think long term.” Volunteers from throughout the county have worked with Susan Mo-

reland, marketing programs assistant for Visit Tillamook Coast, to develop designs and coordinate setup schedules. Welders throughout the county created the lighting structures, many of them volunteering their time and materials. Welders John Jensen, Joey Fitch, Ken Kreiger, Dean Alexander, Ron Smith, Al Wing, Beth Horine, John Wahl, Teresa Wahl, Ron Carlbom, Jacob Holzgrafe, Buss Welding, and Precision Wood Manufacturing created the lighting structures. “We could not have started this project without their skills and cooperation, and the support of the community volunteers,” said Devlin. This first year of the program sets the stage for future holiday seasons. Nearly all towns and villages are taking part in 2016. More businesses and farms will be involved in the coming years. “Our intent is to light up the Tillamook Coast and create a beautiful, memorable holiday experience for locals and visitors,” said Devlin. “I encourage residents to drive the county this season and see the beginning of what we hope will become a family tradition.”

Chamber, CAC to host talk on Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District on Jan. 3 The ins and outs of the proposed Enhanced Sheriff’s Patrol District in Neskowin and Pacific City, which Tillamook County Commissioners are putting on the May 2017 ballot, will be discussed by a panel that will include Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long during the Jan. 3 Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting at Pelican Pub & Brewery’s banquet room. The meeting starts at noon and is open to the public. Other members of the panel will include Chamber board member Doug Olson and Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee secretary Anne Price. As they have done on prior occasions, the most recent being a Sept. 28 town hall at Kiawanda Community

Center, the Chamber and CAC are cohosting the event. The ESPD proposal calls for establishing a tax rate at $0.58 per $1,000 of assessed value. If approved, the district would go into effect July 1, 2017, which is the beginning of Tillamook County’s fiscal year. During the fiscal year of 2017-18, the budget, if approved by voters, will be $390,956 — enough for two middle pay level deputies, as well as their cars, equipment and benefits. The budget is expected to go up 2.5 percent each year thereafter, not including new construction that is added to the tax rolls. Also not figured into the budget is the approximately 7 percent of homeowners who do not pay their property taxes when it comes due in November.

THE NESTUCCA VALLEY LIONS CLUB, along with the Nesko Women’s Club and many local volunteers, made the South Tillamook County Basket Program come to fruition again this holiday season. Together they collected monetary, food, and gift donations for those in need in our area, wrapped gifts and put together food boxes, and ultimately delivered the packages on Dec. 16.

Birding & Blues taps featured speaker

he Pacific City Birding & Blues Festival, which will return to the area April 21-23, has announced its keynote speaker for the three-day birding festival. Award-winning nature and bird photographer Paul Bannick, who was also the festival’s featured speaker in 2010, will return to this year’s event to speak about his new book, “Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls.” Bannick’s new book integrates more than 200 new intimate and dramatic images as well as up-to-date science about owls and first-hand experience based upon tens of thousands of hours spent with the owls in the wild. Though all 19 species found in Canada and the U.S. are featured via the photos and narrative contained in the book, there is a special focus on the

Northern Pygmy-Owl, Great Gray Owl, Burrowing Owl and Snowy Owl. The follow-up to “The Owl and the Woodpecker,” which was Bannick’s topic when he was featured at the festival in 2010, “Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls” has been selected as one of 15 finalists in the 2017 Pacific Northwest Book Awards Shortlist. Bannick captures owls in courtship, mating, nesting, fledging, and migration. He is praised as a fine speaker with an excellent presentation. For more information about Bannick and his new book, visit paulbannick.com.

THE ROCKHOUNDS will provide a rock ‘n roll New Year’s Eve beat at Sportsman’s Pub-N-Grub, 34975 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, starting at 9 p.m. Dec. 31. There is no cover charge but part of the night’s proceeds from dinners will go to the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance.

Rock into the New Year Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub to host New Year’s Eve gala

he energetic talents of The RockHounds will serenade revelers into the new year on Saturday, Dec. 31 when the Sportsman’s Pub-nGrub hosts an end-of-the-year bash that will bid adieu to 2016 and welcome the changing of the calendar. The party starts at 9 p.m. and runs through 1 a.m. at Pacific City’s place to “rub elbows with the locals” and will also feature a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. Also on the menu will be prime rib dinners available with either a 12-ounce cut ($17.95) or a 16-ounce cut ($21.95). The party will also serve as a fundraiser for the parking lot being developed for Pacific City’s upcoming community park by the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance. Though funded via a grant from the Transient Lodging Tax, the development of the

gravel parking lot has come up $5,500 short. Sportsman’s owner Rob Royster says he’d like to fill in at least some of that gap by donating a portion of the funds raised from the party and from dinners. There will also be a collection jar for those wanting to contribute that way. The RockHounds have been playing classic rock and blues since their formation in 2001. Hailing from Portland, the six-piece band is comprised of Greg Somme’s on harmonica and keyboards, Lois MacLennan on vocals and percussion, Keven Kaneta on lead guitar, Stan Cook on rhythm guitar, James Scheidt an bass guitar and Craig Cunningham on bass. Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub is located at 34975 Brooten Road in downtown Pacific City. Call 503-965-9991 for more information.

MARK AND DEE HARGUTH, owners of Sheltered Nook Tiny Home Village accept the 2016 Mark Labhart Economic Development Award from Commissioner Labhart and Mike Cohen, EDC Director.

Tourism Awards Presented Businesses, individuals given awards at December Economic Development Council luncheon Two companies and an individual were honored for their work in tourism and economic development at a December 13, 2016 luncheon following the monthly Economic Development Council meeting. Sheltered Nook, the tiny home village lodging property in Bay City, was given the Economic Development Award for 2016. The award is a new one for EDC, and is named in honor of retiring county commissioner, Mark Labhart. In giving the award, Mike Cohen, director of EDC, said that Dee and Mark Harguth, owners of Sheltered Nook, have grown their business in ways that showed a vision for development and positive economic impact in the county. Sheltered Nook now has five tiny homes,

with a sixth on the way, plus a disc golf course. Visit Tillamook Coast, the county’s tourism organization, presented two awards. The 2016 Tourism Development Award was given to Pelican Brewery. Nan Devlin, tourism director, said “as the Brewery expands their business, they are meeting all the county tourism priorities.” Those priorities include creating off-season destination opportunities, greater socio-economic conditions for the county’s workforce, and growth in new industries that promote tourism. Accepting the award for Pelican Brewery was Jeff Schons, Mary Jones, Jeremy Strober, Jim Prinzing and Cathy O’Donnell.

Tillamook County Solid Waste has announced that, due to popular public response, the community recycling trailer will continue the services currently in practice into the New Year. “The pilot project of this service has been overwhelmingly successful,” said David McCall, program manager of TCSW. “We are excited to be able to continue to offer this community service.” Local communities may expect to find the recycling trailer in their neighborhoods. During the first Sunday of the month (except in January, when it will be Jan. 8) the trailer will be at Rockaway Beach, next to the public works building on Third St. from 8-10 a.m.; at Garibaldi, next to the Parkside Café from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.; and Bay City just off Highway 101, next to Ortiz signs from 2-4 p.m. The recycling trailer will also be at the Neskowin Wayside on the third Saturday of the month from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., and at the Beaver Thrift Shop on the third Thursday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., as well as on the third Sunday in Wheeler next to the U.S. Post Office from 9-11 a.m. and Nehalem at the downtown parking lot from noon-2 p.m. For more information, visit the TCSW website at www. co.tillamook.or.us/gov/solidwaste, call 503-815-3975 or email recycle@co.tillamook. or.us.

State opens remaining areas of coast for commercial Dungeness crabbing The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) recently announced the opening of the commercial crab season from Cape Blanco (just north of Port Orford) to the Oregon/Washington border starting Jan. 1. Fishery managers and food safety specialists consistently exercised caution in opening the crab season this year due to elevated levels of domoic acid found in crabs along Oregon’s central coast. The almost month-long delay in opening the season allowed for additional testing for domoic acid to provide confidence that crab harvested from Oregon waters are safe to consume and

of excellent quality. “Along with the state agencies, the Oregon commercial Dungeness crab industry has taken a very proactive and precautionary approach to the opening of this crab season in the interest of public safety and consumer confidence in a high quality product” says Caren Braby, ODFW Marine Resources Program Manager. Testing of crab in recent weeks show the elevated levels of domoic acid in the central section of the state have decreased and are all below U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert levels for at least two sample periods in a row. Commercial crab boat lights will start dotting the horizon in the central

and northern portions of the state on December 29 as boats are allowed to set gear three days prior to the fishery opening. The recreational harvest of Dungeness crab in Oregon’s bays and ocean is currently open coastwide. As the crab fishery in these areas get underway, state agencies will continue to monitor marine biotoxins in shellfish to ensure concentrations remain below the alert level for consumer safety. For more information about Oregon’s shellfish marine biotoxin monitoring, call ODA’s shellfish safety information hotline at 800-448-2474 or visit www.oregon.gov/ODA/programs/ FoodSafety/Shellfish/Pages/ShellfishClosures.aspx.

A SCIENCE PUB entitled “The Orphan Tsunami of 1700: Transpacific Clues to a Giant Northwest Earthquake” will be hosted by Nestucca, Neskowin, and Sand Lake Watersheds Council at Pelican Pub & Brewery on Jan. 10 from 6-8 p.m. For more information, call 503-965-2200 or visit www.nestuccawaters.org.

Remembering the Big One Science pub to detail giant earthquake believed to have shook the northwest in January 1700

veryone knows that we’re overdue for the next big one. But what kind of earthquakes has our region experienced in the past? A lecture set for Jan. 10, 6-8 p.m., at Pelican Pub & Brewery will help shed light on one such event that is believed to have happened on Jan. 26, 1700. “The Orphan Tsunami of 1700: Transpacific Clues to a Giant Northwest Earthquake,” will be a science pub hosted by the Nestucca, Neskowin and Sand Lake Watersheds Council and feature the knowledge of Brian Atwater, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist emeritus based in Seattle at the University of Washington. During the event, Atwater will describe North American and Japanese evidence for a Pacific Ocean tsunami that began here a century before Lewis and Clark. That evidence includes ghost forests in North America and writings of officials, merchants, and peasants in Japan. The combination yielded an exact

date of Jan. 26, 1700 and approximate size of magnitude 9 — the most recent great earthquake on our region’s largest active fault. In the early 1980s, Atwater mapped granitic rocks and counted ice-age floods in northeast Washington. Since 1985 he has specialized in natural hazards. His findings hastened consensus that the Pacific Northwest is subject to great earthquakes and associated tsunamis. He also helped clarify earthquake and tsunami hazards in Japan, Chile, the northeast Indian Ocean, and the Caribbean. His publications include a book on Japanese evidence for a North American earthquake, and public-safety booklets based on tsunami survivors’ accounts from Chile, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for the science pub and food and beverages will be available for purchase. For more information, visit www.nestuccawaters.org or call 503-965-2200.
