TCCC grants funds to five projects in Tillamook County Neskowin Valley School is amongst five Tillamook County projects awarded a grant by Tillamook County Cultural Coalition board as it was awarded funds for an environment and sustainability project. TCCC’s board recently also awarded 2022 grant funds to four other Tillamook County cultural organizations — the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum (for an Object Reconciliation Project), the North Coast Recreation District (for Performing Arts Center theater signage), the Riverbend Players (for theater fundamentals workshops), and White Clover Grange (for their Heritage Apple Tree Oral History project). The Coalition administers and distributes Oregon Cultural Trust funding in Tillamook County. TCCC says they are grateful for all organizations that applied and that continue to enrich the culture of Tillamook County. Founded in 2002, the Oregon Cultural Trust works to protect and stabilize Oregon cultural resources by creating a solid foundation for the future; expanding public awareness of the quality of, access to, and use of culture in Oregon; and ensuring that Oregon cultural resources are strong and dynamic contributors to Oregon’s communities and quality of life. Each year, one-third of Trust funds go to 45 Oregon County Cultural Coalitions. Coalitions, in turn, grant those funds to local cultural programs or projects in their counties. TCCC selects projects to receive funding in the following areas: education, community arts, heritage, environment, and traditions. To learn more about the Trust, visit www. culturaltrust.org. For TCCC grant application guidelines and deadlines, visit http://www. tcpm.org/tillamook-co-cultural-coalition. html. TCCC is looking for additional Board members for 2022 who are aligned with the Oregon Cultural Trust and TCCC missions to enhance local arts, heritage and humanities in Tillamook County. Currently, all meetings are held virtually via Zoom. Contact TCCC at tillamookccc@gmail.com to request a board membership application.

New OR 6 signs between Tillamook and Banks alert motorists, aim to improve safety Motorists will notice new highway safety signs when traveling on OR 6 between Banks and Tillamook. The new signs are part of an effort by ODOT to improve safety by reminding motorists about driving safely on this 49-mile stretch of road, the Wilson River Highway, which has seen an increasing number of crashes, including many fatalities. “We all must recognize OR 6 is not a high-speed facility and adjust our driving habits accordingly,” said ODOT regional manager Sonny Chickering. “This is a rural, mountainous road with narrow sections and low speed curves that traverse several major and active slide areas. Because the route is key to the economy of Tillamook and nearby coastal communities, there are many large trucks and recreational vehicles using the highway. We’ve all got to be more careful.” A crash east of Tillamook claimed one

life last Halloween and brought to seven the number of fatalities in 2021 on this section of road based on preliminary data. That’s the same number of fatalities recorded during the entire five-year period between 2016 and 2020. All of the 2021 fatalities involved lane departures. The road, much of it two lanes, passes from the Willamette Valley over the Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean. It passes through the historic Tillamook Burn lands, the Tillamook State Forest, over twists, turns and steep grades. In the course of a year, it may see a little of everything, including snow, ice, heavy rain and slides. It carries tourists, semis and logging trucks. And sometimes a nearby elk herd wanders by. After discussions with local residents, including business owners and road users, ODOT crews in recent weeks installed new signs. These included 45 mph advisory speed signs near milepost 36, a bumpy

stretch of OR 6; and signs at some curves with poor visibility advising of school bus stops ahead. In addition, new signs post the CB channel used by school bus operators, a way for truckers to better connect with the buses and know their locations. ODOT regional traffic safety officer Nicole Charlson says motorists can improve safety by taking these simple steps: • Obey the speed limit. Excessive speed is a factor in many crashes and the most common factor in crashes that result in fatalities. • Know before you go. Be aware of weather and traffic conditions before leaving, adjusting your speed and driving to the conditions – especially in rainy weather and in low-light areas. • Drive, walk, bike, or roll sober. Alcohol and drugs impair the abilities and judgment of motorists. At all times make sure there’s a non-impaired driver behind the wheel. • Pay attention. Your life depends on it. A

split-second distraction could cost a life. • Get rested before you are tested. Avoid being fatigued or drowsy so you can arrive at your destination safely. Allow plenty of time to get where you’re going. • Drive for conditions. Rain, snow, or extra traffic – slow down and give extra space for stopping time. Be especially cautious accelerating in snowy, icy, or rainy conditions. Visit https://tripcheck.com for current road conditions. • Don’t pass in no-passing zones. A double solid painted yellow line in the center of the road means passing is not allowed in either direction. A broken yellow line on your side means you can pass when it’s safe. • Buckle up every time. Of course. Safety belts and child safety seats are the biggest contributors to saving lives in crashes.

Kiwanda Corridor Project timeline will keep 2022 busy and productive.

2022: South County projects update: lots happening. By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook County Visitors Association Here we are in January 2022, facing a third year of COVID-19. Sigh. While we’re all weary of dealing with the pandemic, its variants and impacts, there are many things to look forward to in this new year. Kiwanda Corridor Project. Due diligence is happening now, with research on environmental issues, infrastructure needs, road improvements, Jenson property site plan ideas, and discussions with agencies, nonprofits, community groups and individuals. The contractors, led by engineering firm MurraySmith have been thoughtful, creative and respectful of the community and its values. A public meeting will be held in February to share the work that has been done to date, and to hear community feedback. Brook Wyntergreen, the south county tourism destination manager for Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, is leading an effort to apply for ARPA (American Rescue Plan) funds to help finance the project. The requirements are that the project must align with regional economic development strategies, which it does. You can see the Columbia Pacific Economic Development District (Oregon’s North Coast district) at https://nworegon. org/ceds. What elements will make up the Kiwanda Corridor Project? So far, considerations are parking areas, restrooms, trash management, sidewalks, multi-modal pathways, park and playground areas, expanded public transportation options, green spaces, better beach access, improved and connected trails, expansion of a county RV park, and, if the Dorymen’s Association wishes to do so, a space for building a Dory Fleet Museum. But that’s just the beginning. The Kiwanda Corridor Project is in response to tourism and visitor services, but it is also about enhancing community livability. As a side note: the Kiwanda Corridor Project was nominated for the Program of the Year, a Tillamook Chamber of Commerce banquet award, which will take place January 29th.

Cloverdale Wayside Project. Longtime community members will know that this project has been talked about for quite awhile. It was first brought up in 1969! In 2015, a TLT facilities grant was approved to start the project, but soon after a big storm caused damage in the location where the wayside was planned. Since then, additional financial support has been awarded, and new design plans expand on the original ones. The project will offer both the county and Tillamook County Transportation District much needed capacity. Brook Wyntergreen will be driving that project as well. Wayfinding. Wayfinding is a series of coordinated signage – gateways, directionals, amenities, banners and interpretives – that helps visitors find their way around, but also gives the community members a way to share stories about what they value. Phase I, which has an approved plan and permits applied for, will add signage along Brooten Road. The interpretive signs will have stories about the Pacific City Airport and the Dory Fleet. Phase II focuses on two electronic signs for safety and traffic messaging, with proposed placements at Tierra del Mar and Cape Kiwanda. Phase III will be incorporated into the Kiwanda Corridor Project. To see the county-wide wayfinding plan and Phase I Pacific City plan, go to https://tillamookcoast. com/wayfinding. Pacific City Summer Shuttle. This has been a successful program, with ridership up substantially in summer of 2021. Tillamook County Transportation District is also undergoing due diligence about purchasing a trolley for use this coming summer, instead of a shuttle bus. On a side note: the Pacific City Shuttle was also nominated for the Tillamook Chamber’s Program of the Year award. Let the competition heat up! There’s much more happening in south Tillamook County – emergency evacuation programs, trail development, business expansions and investments. We’ll talk more about those in additional columns. It’s a dynamic time. Stay informed at https:// tillamookcoast.com/southcounty/ or follow our Facebook page: South Tillamook County Destination Management.

ARYEH FRANKFURTER AND LISA LYNN will play a Feb. 13 Neskowin Chamber Music concert at the Chapel at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma, 5195 Winema Rd. at 3 p.m.

A Dynamic Duo Neskowin Chamber Music series to welcome Lisa Lynn, Aryeh Frankfurter for Feb. 13 concert

he Neskowin Chamber Music series will welcome the talents of Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter at a concert on Sunday Feb. 13, starting at 3 p.m., at the Chapel at Wi-Ne-Ma, 5195 Winema Road, Neskowin. Masks and proof of COVID-19 vaccination are required for admission. Lynne is a multi-instrumentalist and performer who has gained worldwide recognition for her original music featuring the Celtic harp. She specializes in traditional acoustic folk instruments and is widely acclaimed for composing memorable and heartwarming melodies that transcend category and genre. From an early age Frankfurter’s musical development led him to explore various ethnic and international musical genres, particularly Celtic folk music. At

the age of 15, Frankfurter was introduced to the Celtic harp, an instrument which then became the focal point of his musical inspiration and expression. Over the interceding years Frankfurter taught himself to play a variety of instruments including electric violin, viola, cello, guitar, cittern, mandolin, lap dulcimer and hammered dulcimer, bowed and plucked psaltry, penny whistle, baroque flute, recorder, percussion. Since 2006, his main focal instrument has been the unusual Swedish Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle. Tickets for the Neskowin Chamber Music’s 2021-22 season are available for $130 and single event tickets $30 ($10 for children 17 and under). For more information, visit neskowinchambermusic.com.

talkback Run Betsy Run

Betsy Johnson’s candidacy for governor is the most exciting thing to happen in Oregon politics in my lifetime as a voter. I was a child when former Governor Tom McCall was in office, and I remember how proud my mom and Oregonians in general were of Tom McCall. That’s how I feel about Betsy Johnson. I have had the privilege of working with former Senator Betsy Johnson on issues that matter to Tillamook County citizens and to rural Oregonians for the last three years in my role as county commissioner, and she is a force of nature. She’s powerful, extremely well connected, consistently the smartest person in the room without rubbing anyone’s nose in it, and she has the political juice to get things done. She’s a fierce advocate for citizens and businesses and a tough leader who holds state government to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. Over 20 years in office as state senator, Betsy built a dynamic bipartisan network of relationships all over Oregon that will carry her to the governor’s office. Several years ago, I asked Betsy if she would consider running for governor. She said no because the Democratic Party wouldn’t nominate her. As a moderate Democrat, Betsy was too conservative for progressive leaders in the party. I was thrilled to see Betsy’s

announcement that she was running for governor as an independent unaffiliated candidate, stepping up as the only true centrist in a field of candidates bound to partisan money and agendas. As governor, Betsy will bring together legislators and citizens from both parties, she’ll bridge the urban vs rural divide, and call on Oregonians of all stripes to work through tough issues together. Running for governor as an independent, unaffiliated candidate is a bold and gutsy move. If anyone can do it, it’s Betsy! Her candidacy is a rare opportunity to push the reset button on partisan politics, remember our common values as Oregonians and get behind someone we can all support. Run Betsy Run!

Ready, Set, Relay Runners to take on challenge of 3 Capes Marathon Relay on Feb. 26

unners will lace up their shoes for one of the most challenging races in the area when, as members of a relay team or by flying solo, they take on the task of running up nearly 2,400 feet worth of elevation climb at Three Capes Marathon Relay on Saturday, Feb. 26. The race, returning after a one-year absence due to concerns over the pandemic, boasts a number of ocean vistas as it takes athletes from Cape Meares, past Cape Lookout and eventually to the finish at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City. The race benefits Ultimook, a nonprofit that supports running in Tillamook. Amongst the organizations it benefits are the Tillamook Distance Project, which supports track and cross country programs at Tillamook High School and Junior High; the Ultimook Track Club, a region-wide youth running club; and the Ultimook Running Camp, a youth running camp. Runners can compete either as a two- or five-person team or solo. Team categories include family, business, school, or Clydesdale. There are also a number of Team Divisions available: Men’s Team, Women’s Team, Coed, Masters (Men, Women, or Mixed), Junior Boys (under 18), Junior Girls, and Junior Mixed. The course is separated into five legs which vary in distances from 4.37 miles to just under seven miles. The rugged course passes through or runs adjacent to six State Parks, two National Wildlife

A Peek at the Port: Local potter opens studio at Port of Tillamook Bay

hough she’s worked with clay for more than 15 years, Jennifer Trost has never had a studio to call her own — until now, that is. This July, the Tillamook potter signed a lease agreement for a retail and studio space at the Port of Tillamook Bay’s Tillamook Air Museum, realizing her longtime dream. “Up until now, I’ve mostly shared studio space,” said Trost, who most recently worked at the in-home studio of another local potter. “About six months ago, I started looking for my own studio space, so I could make my dream of running my own studio a reality.

CAC to address variety of planned projects at its Feb. 19 virtual meeting The PC/Woods Community Advisory Committee will be holding a virtual general membership meeting via the Zoom platform on Saturday, Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. CAC Chair Bob Papke, in a letter to the CAC membership, says that there are a variety of projects and changes in the community to stay aware of in 2022. For example, he states that land use permits were at an all-time high in Tillamook County in 2021, and the trend will continue as builders, developers and buyers look to pursue their housing agendas. The letter lists the Cape Kiwanda Corridor Project as probably the most critical project for the future of Pacific City and states the importance of making sure the final product enhances the residents’ experience, not just the visitors. A consulting firm was commissioned by the county to get initial public input in October 2021 and to create design concepts for the future of the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot, Webb Park Campground, NCVA Property, the Jensen Property and a connecting multi-use path. These concepts will be presented at an upcoming Open House in February 2022 (date TBD as of press time.) A survey will be part of the Open House where the public can share their input. Comments can be sent at anytime to kiwanda@tillamookcoast.com. For more information, visit https://mailchi.mp/ tillamookcoast/kiwanda-corridor-projectupdate-20220107?e=f9eb1374a7. The Parking Advisory Committee will begin meeting again in February, following several conversations Papke says he has had with the Tillamook County Project Manager regarding wanting to see funds raised via the parking project to be used to benefit Pacific City. For more information regarding previous results posted on CAC’s website, visit pcwoodscac. org/post/2021-pc-woods-parking-

management-plan-results. Also listed as items to keep an eye on this year are Short Term Rentals (STRs) and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). In the letter to CAC members, Papke states that due to the overall housing shortage in Tillamook County, the County Housing Commission recognizes the benefits that ADUs (a secondary, self-contained dwelling unit that may be allowed in conjunction with a primary dwelling) can provide as a housing alternative and has since made it a priority to address. For more information on ADUs, visit co.tillamook.or.us/bc-hc/ page/housing-commission-meeting-2. Those living in a flood zone are encouraged to attend a virtual Public Meeting Feb. 10 at 6:30 p.m. regarding a Hazard Plan Update Proposal. Papke shared a communication that CAC received from Community Development stating “In coordination with the Oregon Dept. of Land Conservation, the Dept. of Community Development has been working on long-range hazard planning efforts that include a series of proposed amendments to relevant sections of the Tillamook County Land Use Ordinance, including new maps produced by DOGAMI for beaches and dunes and identified areas of geologic hazard.” Sarah Absher, director of Community Development, is scheduled to be on the Feb. 19 CAC meeting call to give an update after the Feb. 10 meeting. For information on how to participate in the Feb. 10 public meeting, visit co.tillamook.or.us/commdev/page/virtualattendance-options-public-meetings. Other business on the CAC meeting agenda are updated bylaws and the search for a PCWCAC secretary. To join the meeting via Zoom, visit https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81098139674.

zoning district, and therefore does not determine what uses are permitted on a property. Rather, they say this section of the Tillamook County Land Ordinance contains additional development standards that must be met when developing property in a geologic hazard area. Allowable “use” of the property has already been determined by the underlying zone or overlay zone. Additionally, as with updating mapping for Tillamook County beaches and dunes, one of the significant updates to this section of the Tillamook County Land Ordinance is to include new maps and data for administration of the requirements of this section. Existing maps identifying areas of geologic hazard in Tillamook County include 1974 and 1979 DOGAMI bulletins as well as the 1964 USDA Soil Conservation Service soil survey maps. The Department of Community Development is proposing to adopt current landside map (SLIDO maps) and data produced by DOGAMI to better identify areas of geologic hazard. The county says its proposed Flood Hazard Overlay Zone Updates consist of a series of updates and housekeeping tasks required by FEMA. The updates include addition of definitions or refinement of existing definitions, clarification to development and construction code requirements, and addition of several sections at the end of the ordinance related to administration and enforcement. All updates proposed are required by FEMA and must be adopted to remain in good standing with the National Flood Insurance Program. Finally, the county says that, with the proposed changes, the permit review process will remain the same and reports will continue to be reviewed as a Type I application in accordance with the procedures outlined in Article 10 of the Tillamook County Land Use Ordinance. Instructions for attending the meeting can be accessed by visiting co.tillamook.or.us/ bc-pc. An opportunity for public comment will be provided at the Feb. 10 meeting. The county is suggesting that those interested in providing comment register by 4 p.m. that day by emailing the county at ltone@ co.tillamook.or.us or by calling 800-4888230, ext. 3423. Although registration is preferred, it is not required. The proposed changes will also be taken up by the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners on April 6 and 27. Both meetings will be at 10:30 a.m. at the Tillamook County Courthouse.

USDA awards OCVA $735,200 grant for seafood producers The USDA has awarded The Oregon Coast Visitors Association $735,200 for a grant entitled, “Capturing Value by Keeping Local Seafood Local.” The effort will expand the regional distribution network of smaller seafood and aquaculture producers on the Oregon Coast whose annual operating budgets are under $1 million. Comments from the USDA grant review committee said the “Grant makes a compelling argument to capitalize on tourism for local seafood sales.” This is because, based on the 2018 Visitor Impacts produced by Dean Runyan and Associates, visitors to

the Oregon Coast spend $792.9 million on food stores and food services annually. The review committees also state the “project is already well poised for partners who share a current vision for what is needed to improve local seafood sales, impacting fishermen, processors, wholesalers and retailers.” To learn more and seek out potential connections and alignment with this effort, visit OregonCoastFoodVision.com. In the next few years, OCVA intends to raise $15 million in additional investments to support this hyper-local seafood infrastructure project.

The Tillamook County Planning Commission will hold a virtual public meeting on Thursday, Feb. 10, starting at 6:30 p.m., in order to consider the Tillamook County Department of Community Development’s efforts to update the coastal planning program. Proposed updates include amendments to the Flood Hazard Overlay Zone, the Beach and Dune Overlay Zone, and development requirements for Geological Hazard Areas. Updates also include the incorporation of digital mapping tools produced by the Oregon Department of Oregon Geology and Mineral Industries. Tillamook County officials say that, if adopted, the mapping tools will be used as planning and comprehensive maps for areas encompassing geologic hazards as well as beaches and dunes. In a guide for the community, the Tillamook County Department of Community Development said the updates only apply to properties within unincorporated areas of the county outside of cities and urban growth boundaries. As well, Community Development says the proposed updates only apply to new development on any given property. For properties already developed, the updates may apply to future development on such things as additions and expansions, but a determination would depend on what is being proposed and the extent of the work involved. In addition, the updates are not expected to prohibit building a home on a property where there currently exists a right to build (via the Tillamook County Land Use Ordinance and Tillamook County Comprehensive Plan). The county says that the proposed Beach and Dune Overlay updates seeks to adopt new data produced by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries’ recently completed mapping project of the county’s beaches and dunes. This would update currently in place beach and dune maps, which were produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1975. The county says the goal of adopting the new maps is to ensure future development protects coastal resources and lessens impacts to properties and communities from coastal hazards. In the country’s proposed updates to development requirements for geologic hazard areas, the county says it is important to understand that this section of the Tillamook County Land Use Ordinance is not a zoning district or an overlay

An addition was built on the back in the 1970s, but, otherwise, the original structure remains the same. Historic postcard image courtesy of Sally Rissel The church seats ST.
