At Odds Over the Rankings

Full Service Bar & Family Dining Til 9 pm

TAC, EDC snub Cape Kiwanda beach access project in rankings of tourism-related grant applications

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Commissioners are expected to make a final decision on the first-round of tourism-related infrastructure grants at their Sept. 23 meeting at Tillamook County Courthouse, starting at 10 a.m.

The deliberation by commissioners, who have the final say on all tourism facility grants, comes on the heels of recommendations by the Economic Development Council and its advisory group, the Tourism Advisory Committee.

The TAC spoke first, voting on Tuesday, Sept. 8 to support 10 of the 12 eligible projects. Though there were originally 13 applicants, one was eliminated based on a recent legal opinion that projects already completed should not be eligible. Because not everyone voted on each project, the applications were judged based on average score. From first to last, the projects were ranked as follows: Kilchis Point bathrooms, Port of Garibaldi Visitor Booth, Manzanita Visitor Center, Bay City Arts Center parking, NRCD auditorium seats, Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, Latimer Quilt Center building repair, Rockaway Beach Nature Reserve Plan, City of Garibaldi meeting space, TAPA ADA restroom, and, not making the cut, Port of Garibaldi Heritage Plan, and the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access Improvement.

For it’s part, the EDC elected to support just the first nine — noting that the 10th ranked project would exceed the $450,000 cap for this first round of grants.

For Pacific City, the rankings offered a good news/bad news scenario.

While the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, an application that “seeks to improve, locate and develop tourism facilities and infrastructure in the Cape Kiwanda area,” was safely in the mix, the same support was not shown to the Cape Kiwanda Pedestrian and Vehicle Beach Access Improvement project.

The decision to not include the safety improvements at the cape in the list of preferred applications left a sour taste with some TAC members, while others defended the rankings.

“I have to say that while the process makes sense, I’m disappointed that the

project that scored the lowest (has the) most significant need,” said TAC member Jeremy Strober. “It’s disappointing (that our group) didn’t recognize that need more. I think there’s a great disparity in what is needed and what we’d like to have. There’s a lot of likes that (ranked higher) that are maybe not as necessary in my opinion.”

Speaking in defense of the way the rankings came out, TAC co-chair Justin Aufdermauer asserted that doing a master plan first seemed to make sense.

At the EDC meeting, which was attended by all three county commissioners, there was a lengthy discussion of what could be done to improve things at Cape Kiwanda, given it finished low in the rankings.

A key player in the effort is developer Jeff Schons, who spoke at the meeting. Schons later told the Sun that what’s needed now is $50,000 to get the engineering, planning and permits in place so that the project can be completed by the beginning of 2016’s spring break. The total project cost asked for in the grant application was $195,000.

“It’s desperately needed for the South County area,” Schons said. “We’re encouraging commissioners to find a way to fund the planning stage.”

Commissioner Tim Josi, who chaired the multi-agency group that both Cape Kiwanda applications grew out of, said he, too, was surprised by the low ranking of the beach access project.

“The most important project because of the overwhelming traffic and congestion happened to be placed on the very bottom, and I find that incredible,” he told the Sun. He said that while he was disappointed the beach access application ranked so low, by the same token, he said it would be difficult to say which higher ranked project he would cut to make room for the project.

“It’s pretty daunting — you’d have to take a bunch of them out,” he said.

Still, he hasn’t given up.

“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure it gets funded in the next round,” he added. “I think everybody recognizes that this project needs to be funded.”

8 AM - 7 PM, Monday thru Friday

acific Joint Water-Sanitary Authority took another step towards acquiring federal funds to help pay for a new wastewater treatment plant when its board of directors gave their stamp of approval to a USDA Rural Development “Letter of Conditions” at a special meeting on Thursday, Sept. 10.

In the LOC, Rural Development has committed a low-interest loan of $8.71 million and grants of $1.95 million. The loan would be paid back over 30 years and has an annual debt service of $395,696. That total of $10.66 million falls short of early estimates by engineers of up to $12 million because Rural Development does not allow for a high contingency amount. The current estimate has 30 percent in contingency penciled in because the project has yet to be designed. The PCJWSA board previously approved funding up to $11.5 million in debt for the project.

Though conditions on the letter are based on a revenue bond that would be serviced by an increase in user fees, PCJWSA is also putting a general obligation bond measure on the Nov. 3 ballot that is asking voters whether they would rather finance the improvement via property taxes.

If the general obligation bond passes, PCJWSA will do an analysis whether to fund the project fully from property taxes or split it between property taxes and user fees. PCJWSA is hosting a forum on Thursday, Sept. 24, 6-8 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center where the community can learn more about the differences between the two funding mechanisms, as well as what either option is likely to cost them. If only $8.7 million in loans is needed to complete the project, property owners can expect an estimated increase of $1.08 per $1,000 of tax assessed property value. However, if the maximum debt service approved by PCJWSA board — $11.5 million — is required, it would cost an estimated $1.54 per $1,000 of tax assessed property value.

Rural Development actually prefers financing projects such as this via general obligation bonds as it

views the funds as more guaranteed.

Because of this, financing the project via a revenue bond could cost more.

One of the stipulations of the Letter of Conditions is that PCJWSA also set aside an additional 10 percent of the annual debt service — or $39,569 — for the first 10 years.

In addition, Rural Development is asking that $89,609 be placed annually in a short-lived asset replacement reserve fund, monies that would be used to replace assets with an estimated life of less than 15 years.

Though the replacement reserve fund is a required element regardless which bond method the project is financed by, it can only be paid by user fees. As a result, even if the obligation bond passes and the board of directors elect to pay for the project entirely with the general obligation bond, a small user fee will still be assessed.

“If it’s completely revenue bonds, we’re looking at $396,000 (in) debt service, which is due in a lump sum every year,” Authority manager Tony Owen told the board of directors. “(When) you add the $39,569 on top of that and then add $89,609, that’s going to send the month sewer increase up to about $34 to $35 a month.”

That amount is assuming a debt service of $8.7 million, the loan amount Rural Development has offered. Having already assessed users a $10 fee this last July, PCJWSA had been tentatively planning on two more $10 increases — one in July 2016 and the second in July 2017.

Those figures will now likely either go up or down — Owen expects they’ll increase $4 to $5 if the general obligation bond fails and the project is completely funded by user fees and they’ll decrease if a general obligation is passed. How much they will be lowered will depend on the proportion of property tax to user fees the board decides to use to fund the project. In any case, the maximum spent will remain $11.5 million.

BLM grants R&PP lease for PCJWSA

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun The Bureau of Land Management, Tillamook Resource Area, announced on Sept. 14 that it has granted Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority a Recreation and Public Purposes Lease for a 77.75-acre parcel located just east of Cape Kiwanda.

BLM has also granted a communication site lease as well as amending a right of way grant to PCJWSA. The R&PP lease will enable PCJWSA to develop and manage an emergency evacuation area — for PCJWSA’s use only — on higher ground equipped with an emergency shelter, build a radio antenna and necessary accessories for a monitoring system that would allow for remote monitoring of treatment facilities, provide pedestrian recreation trails, repair or replace existing well buildings, and the install additional fencing around wellheads.

The decision follows a six-year process to get the lease. The Board of Directors first gave Authority manager

Tony Owen the go-ahead to pursue a lease in February 2009 and Owen mailed the application on April 17, 2009. As part of the approval process, BLM completed an Environmental Assessment, which resulted in a finding of “no significant impact” for the proposed uses.

“The first thing we’ll look at doing is the fencing for the wells — that’s the most immediate concern,” Owen told the Sun. “I think after the fencing, we’re going to look pretty hard at an emergency route up the hill for our equipment.”

He added that the lease could be a big positive for another reason — it could allow for a bigger footprint for PCJWSA’s upcoming wastewater treatment plant upgrade (see related story, page 6).

Owen credited Board of Directors chair Carolyn McVicker for putting a lot of time and work into the BLM effort.

“It’s nice to see that it’s finally coming together,” he said. “I think it’s going to be an incredible asset for the community. I’m personally thrilled.”

To see the complete decision record, visit www.blm.gov/or/districts/salem/ plans/index.php.

Is It Time for Pacific City to Incorporate?

Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long told members of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce on Sept. 1 that he believes it may be time for the community of Pacific City to decide if incorporation might help the area deal with its increasing needs.

“This is something that the community needs to talk about at some point,” he said. “Personally, I think we’re at the point where we’re going to have to decide if incorporation is correct so (we can) fund (our) own police department.”

Chamber board member Doug Olson said that in the past, the Chamber has sponsored two meet-

ings on the incorporation of Pacific City and plans to do another one early in 2016.

Olson said the meeting would address how much taxes might be, and what the new city would get from the state in terms of the Oregon Lottery and fuel taxes as well as how much extra might be spent to fund the particular government services wanted.

“In Oregon you have to run three municipal services (such as a parks, police, planning, water/sewer, and fire departments),” he said. “We’ll have someone from the League of Oregon Cities and talk about it in earnest as a community.”

t will be a weekend full of art, crafts, food and entertainment when Central Oregon Shows brings two days of art to Pacific City, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 26-27.

Pacific City Art at the Beach will double as a fundraiser for the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance and runs Saturday, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. It will be held at the northwest corner of the four-way stop in the heart of downtown Pacific City at Brooten Road and Pacific Avenue.

With items ranging from fused glass art to jewelry, leather to fabric art, and paintings to pottery, the event is being hailed by organizer and photographer Richard Esterman as a chance for artists to share their talents and creativity with the public.

A total of 30 vendors will be featured at the event. Additional featured items include wood frames, clothing, Bonsai plants, crocheted hats, scarves, and wood work.

In addition, there will be a booth featuring wine tastings by Nehalem Bay Winery and live music by blues artist The Tommy Hogan Band. Hogan will play from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26 and from noon-4 p.m. on

Sunday, Sept. 27. Covered seating will be available.

A prolific songwriter, Hogan is known for his soulful and bluesy vocals. Specializing in rocking and soulful blues, funk and Americana-style originals, as well as treasured covers, Hogan’s talent has attracted accolades from the Cascade Blues Association, which nominated Hogan as Best Regional Act 2014, Best Regional Act 2013, and Best NW Recording 2014.

Other awards since his 2011 arrival on Pacific Northwest stages include recognition as a 2014 International Blues Competition finalist. He also won first place in the International Blues Competition semi-finals in 2012. For more information about The Tommy Hogan Band and for a sample of their musical talents, visit tommyhoganband.com.

Food will also be part of the fun — there will be booths serving up both barbecue and Chinese food.

To raise money for NVCA, the event will have a spin wheel where attendees can test their luck at winning a selection of donated prizes for $1 a spin. All proceeds will go towards the NVCA, which is working on developing a community park just southeast of Cape Kiwanda. For more information about the work of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, visit www. nestucca.org.

Mother Goose on the Loose returns to library starting Oct. 6

W

hat baby doesn’t adore storytime? For a fun twist on your child’s introduction to time-tested tales, the South Tillamook County Library is hosting “Mother Goose on the Loose,” a reading, singing and playtime program beginning Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Held every Tuesday afternoon, the program offers infants from birth to 3 years old — and accompanying adults — the chance to enter a world filled with songs and rhymes, clapping hands and smiling faces, wide eyes and comfortable laps. The program starts at 11 a.m. — an hour before the library opens to the general public — a schedule that library officials first made last year to accommodate the sometimes excited babies as they immerse themselves in a rattle shake

or two. Siblings are welcome, as are moms and dads, grandparents and caregivers to the hour-long session.

Each session will focus on early literacy skills including rhyming, repetition, reading aloud and oral language. The skills will be shared during a 30-minute story time loaded with stories, songs and bounces, followed by play and chat time. An assortment of baby-friendly board books will be available for check out.

“We have so much fun doing nursery rhymes together,”said Librarian Theresa Roberts.

The South Tillamook County Library is located at 6200 Camp Street in Pacific City, just north of the fourway stop. For more information, call 503-965-6163.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

Fresh & Local!

Autumn’s in the Air

Fall chinook are beginning to target Nestucca River system

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

F

all is definitely making itself felt with shorter days and longer nights. Changes in the weather patterns are ushering summer out the back door. With those changes comes the excitement of fall chinook salmon fishing, both in the bays and the rivers.

The Nestucca Bay has had salmon showing up for the last four weeks. Because the bay water has been extremely warm and low in oxygen, salmon have not been hanging out much in tidewater. Instead, they have been nosing in on the incoming tides, taking a look around, not finding conditions to their liking and going right back out to the ocean on the outgoing tide. Thus, most all the catching is being done on the incoming. The mouth of the bay has been spotty with great fishing on one day and poor to rotten fishing on others. These past two weeks have been an example. On Saturday, Sept.

5 more than 30 salmon were caught in one day, but the following day only about four were caught. This tells me that schools of salmon are coming in and looking then returning to the ocean to sit it out a few more days before trying again. So, for now and until tidewater offers more favorable water conditions, fishing will be good one day and poor the next.

Most fishermen, especially bank anglers, are throwing spinners and bobbers. There are many choices for spinner fishermen, but the four color blue-tip spinners in a number 6 or 7 deep-cup Colorado blades have been the number one choice. Following closely are the Perry’s Weighted Tidewater Lures, with or without the hoochie skirt and the Squid Stinger from Pro Guide Tackle Co. All three choices have been putting up some nice numbers.

Bobber fishermen are more traditional in the sense that they are basically using the same things as grandpa.

Sand shrimp, eggs, tuna bellies and sardines. Not much has changed in that world in a long time. You could make the case that egg cures have been evolving constantly for many years and although fishermen can point to this one or that one as their favorites, I’m not sure that these ever advancing and changing cures makes them any more successful then their grandpa’s were.

Sales and marketing require them to say that their products are improved and better than before and as long as people are believers and keep spending their money we all benefit. It reminds me of soap commercials on television — every month they are offering a new and improved laundry detergent, that is better than ever before!

Curing eggs is definitely a good way to keep them long term, but years ago we used to take a five-gallon bucket, throw a little rock salt in it and layer the eggs intermittently with rock salt and just keep the bucket in the freezer year round. The eggs would remain in unfrozen form with liquid in them even though the real temperature of the eggs would be well below zero. (Warning: just because they are liquid, don’t stick your bare hands in the bucket to remove eggs, wear gloves). They never freezer burned and would keep sometimes for years.

The beauty of doing your eggs in this fashion was being able, at a moments notice, to change the nature of the egg. In other words, if you wanted a natural uncolored, salted egg that is what you would start with. If the desire was to change them up, the night before put your eggs in a container, then add Jello in various colors like red, purple, or orange. If you wanted scent added like shrimp or Pautzke’s egg scent you would add that to bag the next morning. Some fishermen would add shrimp oil while other would take fresh sand shrimp and crush them up and add that mixture to the eggs. This old time method was very flexible and worked very well. It wasn’t until folks started to market cures and touted them as being a superior way to cure that this old time method disappeared.

Don’t get me wrong — I like several of the available, over-the-counter egg cures, but they are mostly various forms of salt and dyes, sugars and bite stimulators (usually more concentrated salts), and since the old cures relied on rock salts as the base ingredient, it was the perfect cure. It was also very safe for the environment, as some commercial cures have stirred unrest about their safe uses. Media marketing has changed the way we do everything and not always for the better, but if they can create belief in a product, they can create sales and that’s the good old American Way. Just not the least expensive.
