Making Their Voices Heard

A community protest sends message that mandates and closures are hard on students

All Kilchis House, Nehalem Bay residents reportedly find new housing

n December, the CARE Board of Directors announced that they would be closing the Kilchis House and Nehalem Bay House. Since then, CARE says that together with the Northwest Senior and Disability Service, they have been working diligently with its residents and their families to find long-term, sustainable housing options. As of Feb. 9, they are reporting that all 56 residents have identified the housing solution that works best for their individual situation. They say that unfortunately, due to the limited number of beds in Tillamook County, not everyone was able to remain in the county. Close to 40 percent of those who left the county are doing so to receive the type of skilled nursing or memory care that are simply not available anywhere in Tillamook County. Officials say that after what it describes as a long and rigorous process of reviewing the financial performance of its assisted living facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARE Board of Directors made the difficult decision to close the Kilchis House and the Nehalem Bay House, effective Feb. 11. At this time, they say they are on track to meet this deadline. During this transition, CARE says they have also been working with staff to ensure that its residents continue to receive quality care, and to help them find stable and secure employment once these facilities close. Since the announcement in December, close to 80 percent of its staff have remained with the houses and their residents. “I cannot express how grateful we are for the dedication our staff has shown during this challenging time,” says Peter Starkey, executive director of CARE. “We are also so grateful to our partners around Tillamook who made it possible for us to retain these incredible people as part of our community and from what we are hearing, all of our staff will be remaining in Tillamook County to begin the next chapter of their career.” The CARE Board of Directors, in consultation with community partners and stakeholders, continues to review all options for the future of CARE and these properties.

PCJWSA plans upgrades to Kiwanda, Bob Straub sewer lift stations By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

acific City’s sewer system will receive another upgrade in the coming months as the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Board of Directors approved a plan to upgrade two wastewater lift stations — one being the Kiwanda station along Cape Kiwanda Drive and the other near Bob Straub State Park. At its Feb. 8 meeting, the board approved the most expensive of three options at the recommendation of Authority Manager John Wesely, who said that, despite the higher price tag, it would be the best course of action for PCJWSA’s wastewater system. Xylem, which is a dealer for Flygt branded pumps, will now be charged with replacing pumps as well as control panels at the two stations. It total, the Board of Directors approved using as much as $86,000 for the two lift stations. Xylem’s quote came in at approximately $83,250, but, prior to Board Director Anne Price making the motion,

Board Chair Carolyn McVicker noted that it has been standard practice to bolster maximum spend amounts by a couple of thousand to allow for unanticipated expenses. The lower cost options started at approximately $62,000 and went up from there. In addition to the pump and panel costs, electricians will be hired to do wiring at each station. Though no quotes were received or contracts in place at press time, Wesely told the Board of Directors that he expects that cost to be $11,000 to $12,000 for each station. Weseley said the Xylem/Flygt pump solution is preferable because, rather than having to grind up rags in the system, they trap them via screens. He also had high marks for the Flygt pumps already in use at PCJWSA — including some at its wastewater treatment plant. “These are pumps that have performed very well. I believe they have the best technology in terms of anti-clog considerations,” he told board members. “I can tell you that their products have

performed beautifully, and their after sales support is also incredible.” “We’ve been using their pumps in various capacities — certainly since the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades took place,” he added during a later interview with the Sun. “We installed a number of Flygt pumps, and they’ve been performing very well for us.” The upgrade will be paid for via funds already budgeted for in the Authority’s fiscal budget. The new pumps and control panels, which Wesely said are expected to be installed within 8-12 weeks, are being touted as a way to alleviate the problems the Authority has historically had with rags disrupting the system and clogging pumps. “We would like to get it done as soon as possible,” Wesely told the Sun. “If we can get it done before the peak season, we’ll have an easier go of it because the lift stations won’t be having such heavy use.” He noted there’s a number of goals he hopes to achieve with the upgrades. Those goals include standardizing the pumps and

other replacement components, increasing safety and reliability, and making sure the lift stations are up to code. “These pump stations are fairly old, they’re out of date,” he said. “They’ve been patched together over the years to the point where I can’t even tell you if some of these electrical panels are even up to code anymore.” The new pumps will feature 5 hp pumps instead of the 2 to 3 hp that currently are in use. In total, Wesely would like to replace the pumps and control panels in six stations, but spread the improvement over time by doing two stations a year. “The reliability factor on these (upgrades) is going to be instantly noticeable,” he said. “Imagine a time where we don’t have to talk about rags clogging our lift stations. But imagine, also, where we can have a single 5 hp pump on the shelf and you can drop into any single pump station we have. That is one of the real advantages of standardization is you don’t have to carry a whole line of spare parts for every different pump.”

Tillamook Co. Dems adopt education diversity resolution Tillamook County Democrats have adopted a resolution supporting school curriculum that recognizes and respects what it describes as rich diversity in the community. They say the resolution is in response to recent proposals by the Tillamook School District Board. Adopted on Jan. 27, the resolution states that “the Tillamook County Democrats are resolved to support: 1) educators who teach diversity in their classrooms; 2) school-board members who support curricula that teach diversity in schools as mandated in state and federal laws; 3) continued constructive parental involvement in the education of their children, with a balanced approach for all diverse groups; and 4) an educational system that provides students with multiple views, encouraging them to ask thoughtful questions and become informed decision-making citizens. Finally, Tillamook County Democrats resolve to continue advocating in the community for public school curricula which reflect and celebrate the diversity in our community.”

The group also cites two reasons for adopting the resolution: The Oregon Department of Education states: “It is a policy of the State Board of Education and a priority of the Oregon Department of Education that there will be no discrimination or harassment on the grounds of race, color, sex, marital status, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability in any educational programs, activities or employment.” (Source: https://www. oregon.gov/ode/students-and-family/ equity/civilrights/Pages/default.aspx) The Oregon Legislature passed HB 2845 in 2017 requiring instruction of public school students in kindergarten through grade 12 in the histories, contributions, and perspectives of ethnic minorities, women, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender in Oregon.

Celebrating the Community Tillamook Chamber’s banquet points to value of community By MALLORY GRUBEN Tillamook Chamber

he Tillamook Chamber of Commerce on Saturday raised nearly $75,000 for community programming, introduced the new Tillamook Chamber Community Foundation and honored the 2022 Community Award recipients at “A Night in Greece,” the 80th Annual Tillamook Chamber Community Awards Banquet and Auction. The event brought 350 community members together in-person for the Chamber’s largest fundraiser of the year. “The money raised through the banquet and auction allow us to continue to support the community throughout the year with programming like the June Dairy Parade, Mornings on Main Street, Sip + Shop and so much more,” said Justin Aufdermauer executive director of the Chamber. “A large portion of the funds raised at the banquet will also serve as the financial basis for the Tillamook Chamber Community Foundation, a new 501(c)3 that will build and coordinate leadership, fundraising and capacity for projects and programs that enhance the vitality of communities in Tillamook County.” The Foundation will act as a “convener, catalyst and champion,” by bringing together local agencies, funding projects and programs and improving the quality of life in Tillamook County for everyone. One of the first Foundation initiatives is Young Pros Tillamook, a young professionals program set to launch in February. “Young Pros Tillamook will provide a network of likeminded young professionals who can work together to grow personally and professionally while they connect and engage with each other and the broader community,” Aufdermauer said. The highlight of the banquet, though, is the announcement of the Community Award recipients. The Chamber distributed awards in five categories: Development Project of the Year, Program of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Business of the Year and Citizen of the Year. The Community Awards Committee, a panel of past award recipients and community members, selected this year’s recipients from a pool of nominations made by county residents in late 2021. The Awards weighs four main criteria in selecting the final recipient. Those criteria include how the nominees enhanced the quality of life in Tillamook County in 2021; who was served by the nominee’s accomplishments and how broad the demographic reach of those people is; how the nominee shows a continued commitment to the community; and what the long-term benefits of the nominee’s work are. “The Community Awards give us a chance to reflect on the year and celebrate the amazing work being done in our community that makes Tillamook County a great place to live, work and play,” Aufdermauer said. DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Intended to honor a new construction, building or outdoor area renovation or other capital improvements made in 2022, Development Project of the Year was awarded to Tillamook Grocery Outlet. The grocery store opened its doors in June 2021. “Owner-Operators Stephen and Tamara Tuttle fought hard and for many years to be here in Tillamook, proving their commitment to this community,” said Chamber Board President Lisa Greiner as she presented the award. Greiner added that that Tillamook Grocery Outlet serves a huge demographic

of people, from locals and tourists, and from low-wage earners to high-wage earners. That broad reach of people benefited helped this project stand out to the Awards Committee, she said. PROGRAM OF THE YEAR An award to recognize organizations, projects, events and other work that does not fall into a traditional business category, Program of the Year recognizes one program that enhances the quality of life in Tillamook County. Selecting Tillamook County Public Health as this year’s recipient was a “no brainer,” said Justin McMahan while presenting the award. “It’s hard not to recognize our nurses and public health workers for their efforts during the second year of the pandemic,” McMahan said. “While it’s their job to keep us healthy, they didn’t sign up for that job knowing anything that the last year would throw at them. And yet, they’ve stepped up to meet the challenge.” Representatives from Tillamook County Health were unable to attend the banquet, but the agency did submit a note thanking the community for its nomination. “It has, without a doubt, been one of the most challenging years that this program has ever experienced. This team of people have been working tirelessly to provide all their standard and customary services, while also providing the unprecedented local response to the global pandemic. … ,” the note said. SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR Small Business of the Year honors a Tillamook County business with 10 or fewer employees. West Elliott Boutique earned the title this year for its energy, enthusiasm and elegant storefront. In its review of nominees, the Awards Committee noted that the business “hit its stride” in 2021, growing its inventory and community involvement. “Their renovated shop brightens a spot that previously sat empty at the entrance to the Downtown district, and they jump at every opportunity to be involved in the community,” said Natalie Rieger. BUSINESS OF THE YEAR Aimed at local businesses with more than 10 employees, Business of the Year went to Werner Family Brands, which has won past Community Awards for its individual businesses but never as a whole entity. The company includes Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks, Werner Brewing and Werner Beef & Brew. “Werner Family Brands is a business that keeps showing up in our nominations in some way or another — and for good reason. This business pours itself into the community in so many ways,” said John Jackson. CITIZEN OF THE YEAR One of the longest running Community Awards, Citizen of the Year honors one individual who made a significant impact in Tillamook County in 2021. This year Terry Phillips received the award for his willingness to employ residents who may have had a rocky past but deserve a second chance, as well as his continued investment in housing projects and commercial building renovations. “Terry takes on a personal financial risk to invest in standard, two-bedroom homes to ease the workforce housing shortage — even when he could build larger homes with more lucrative payouts for himself,” Aufdermauer said. “He’s continued to invest in the Tillamook County community throughout 2021 with his recent purchase and ongoing renovation of the National Building on Second and Main. His work has touched many lives, and we are proud to recognize Terry as Citizen of the Year.”

Parents, community protest school’s handling of mandates By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

ith signs proclaiming sentiments such as “Public Schools Deserve Public Input” and “Step Up for Our Kids or Step Down From the Board,” parents and concerned community members turned out at Nestucca Valley Elementary School on Feb. 9, on the eve of the district’s February board meeting, to protest the continued mask requirement the district is following, its virtual only board meetings, and its policy on religious and medical exemptions for vaccines. The protest began at 5:30 p.m. with some participants electing to share their objections during the public comment portion of the board meeting, which began at 6:30 p.m. One topic of concern was not allowing vaccine exemptions for part-time employees and contract workers such as coaches, as well as volunteers. Other areas of concern touched on by the community included the board’s recent policy of virtual-only board meetings and the seemingly cyclical return to the distance learning model in place of in-person instruction. “It has become painfully clear through continued closed or virtual meetings and little to no town halls or public forums that this current board does not care about the input of their own constituents,” said Kaili Jensen, who helped organize the protest. “Most of you board members have no idea the hell this community’s children have been through the last two years because you don’t even have children who are current students. If you did, you’d surely see the negative impacts your decisions have had.” Jensen also lamented the district’s policy on religious and medical exemptions. “Under Oregon State current executive order….,it clearly states that each district has the authority to except medical and

religious exemptions for all teachers, staff, coaches and volunteers. Yet, as a district, you have chose only to accept those exemptions from full-time employees,” she said. “This decision caused the loss of qualified subs and volunteers that contributed to the current staffing shortage and ultimately caused our children to have to bounce back and forth between CDL and in-person learning, not to mention the impact this decision has had on our district sports.” It was a complaint later addressed by the board, but not before fellow protestors shared a few pointed words. “We’re beyond done,” added April Bailey. “I actually hope and pray it literally is your come to Jesus moment, but it’s definitely your moment to face this community. The way I see it, you have three choices…resign, recall or repent.” Further describing her concerns and the call for resignations, she questioned the job

of three board members — Bill Hagerty, Annis Leslie and Diane Boisa — who have served during current Superintendent Misty Wharton’s tenure. Addressing her call for a recall should no positive action be taken, she said that if the board remains “deaf to the taxpayers” they serve, she would “personally work on filling a petition to recall (board members) on Friday, (Feb. 11).” “I have plenty of help to collect signatures,” she added. Still, she said there was a better path — one of repenting. “Repentance is the path to forgiveness and healing,” Bailey said. “As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I can tell you that practicing repentance has been life changing. To repent is to ask forgiveness… and move forward with an intent to not repeat your mistakes. If you choose this path, you’ll need to prove to this community you are willing to hear them

WITH SIGNS proclaiming concerns such as “No More Masks” and “Public Schools Deserve Public Input,” community members gathered on Feb. 9 at Nestucca Valley Elementary School.

and represent them.” Another viewpoint was offered by Josh Armstrong, parent of Nestucca student Piper Armstrong. “She broke my heart the other day,” he said about his daughter, a 4-point GPA student in the district. “She said, ‘They’re putting us back on CDL.’ She said, ‘Get me out of there.’ She wants nothing to do with this place.” And that, he said, represented quite a turnaround for his daughter, who he said has gone from someone who loves the school, loves its teachers, and loves her friends, to someone looking for the exit sign. “She goes to school and it’s just intense,” Josh said. “She said they can’t breathe without you guys being down their necks, and it makes the environment super, super intense. And she says there’s fights going on and intimidation going on. I’m telling you that if things don’t get better, you guys won’t get the money because we’ll pull our kids.” And homeschool parent Tracy Whittles also shared her point of view, who said that volunteers — and their involvement — are key to the district and the community. “They want to be a part (of district activities),” she said about volunteers. “But…we have this (Oregon Administrative Rule) that blocks even volunteers if they’re not vaccinated. I just think we need to reconsider these things… .I know these thing are hard. And, yet, as a community, we’re really asking you to let us be a part and continue to volunteer and to participate in this school the best we can.” ADDRESSING THE COMPLAINTS Later, in addressing the concerns, school board members and Wharton said that the district’s actions have been a balancing act between concerns of parents and students and its commitment to protecting taxpayer interests. “I don’t like it any more than any of you…but we have to follow state laws,” said Hagerty. “If not, we’re liable…We’re taking care of the money and making sure the kids get educated. This stuff is all about one small area. Our education is the most important to me and the board. So, that is our top priority. We’re going to follow the laws so we’re not in litigation with your tax money.”

Wharton said that while she is sensitive to the concerns voiced by Armstrong, she is nonetheless encouraged by the attitudes of students. “Overall our kids are happy — especially when the sun’s out and they’re on the playgrounds running around,” she said. “Today, I spent quite a bit of time walking around and checking out different classrooms and (there was) lots of laughing. “I heard what Josh said. We all have our challenges, and this pandemic has created challenges for everyone, but we all need to work together to get through that because no one has ever had to do that before. So, we’re making it up as we go because, literally, we’re learning as we go.” In addressing complaints about the school’s policy of only considering religious exemptions for full-time employees, Wharton said it was about creating an equitable and manageable policy. “It should be about equity, and that’s why we’ve developed the practice that we did,” she said. “So, the way we did that (is) we only entertained exemptions if the people were full-time staff members, because… who am I to judge someone’s religion or their medical condition? So, if they’re fulltime staff members, we have that vested relationship. Coaching positions are a one-year contract. So, we made a conscious decision that in the interest of equity, if they’re a full-time staff member, we might entertain an exemption if they qualify. (For) everyone else, exemptions are off the table because…it’s an impossibility at a district our size to manage all of that.” She also said the policy is a way to limit the legal liability the school could face. “If we have an unfortunate event that a kid did get sick, the district is liable if they can prove we are not managing those people who we have granted an exemption to correctly,” Wharton said. And Hagerty further explained the reasoning behind not granting exemption to volunteers. “We don’t have the resources to keep track of where the volunteers have been and who (they’ve) been in contact with,” he said. “We’d have to report that if one of them happens to get the COVID. It makes it very difficult, and that is our main reason behind it.”

By STEVE LUNDEBERG Oregon State University

The Department of Energy has awarded $25 million to eight groups for the testing of wave energy technologies at Oregon State University’s PacWave South facility off the central Oregon coast near Newport. Construction began in June 2021 on the approximately $80 million facility, to be located about seven miles offshore. When completed, PacWave South will be the first commercial-scale, grid-connected wave energy test site in the United States. It is expected to be operational in 2023, and grid-connected testing is anticipated to begin the following year. “The DOE’s announcement represents an exciting new development in the pursuit of producing renewable energy from ocean waves,” said Oregon State’s Burke Hales, PacWave’s chief scientist and a professor in the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. “This commitment to in-water testing at the PacWave site is the bridge from conceptual or scaled-down designs to operational power production in the fully energetic open ocean. It also shows the agency’s long-term commitment to the completion and operation of the PacWave test facility.” The funded projects will focus on wave energy converter designs for use in geographically remote areas or on small grids; converter designs that can be either connected to or disconnected from the grid; and research and development related to environmental monitoring, instrumentation systems that operators use to control wave energy converters, and other technologies. Portland State University, with a $4.5 million award, is among the funding recipients. “Wave energy is an essential piece of the strategy to combat the climate crisis, and I’m gratified that Oregon State University, Portland State University and our state will play a central role in developing this energy source to its full potential,” said U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden.

“I look forward very much to what the innovative minds at both OSU and PSU as well as elsewhere develop with these projects that put our country on the path to a clean energy future.” The Department of Energy and Oregon State entered into a partnership in 2016 to build the PacWave South facility for exploring how to harness the carbon-free wave energy created from wind blowing over the surface of the sea. PacWave South, prepermitted by the DOE, is designed to alleviate the challenges associated with testing technologies in the open ocean. “PacWave in Oregon is at the forefront of wave energy, thanks in large part to the visionary researchers at Oregon State University,” said U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici. “This federal investment of $25 million will allow innovative technologies from across the country, including one from Portland State University, to be tested right here in Oregon, bringing us closer to realizing the potential of this tremendous resource.” The University of Washington, which is receiving $1.3 million, is the other university among the funding recipients. The remaining six groups are CalWave Power Technologies Inc. of Oakland; Columbia Power Technologies Inc. of Charlottesville, Virginia; Dehlsen Associates, LLC, of Santa Barbara; Oscilla Power Inc. of Seattle; Integral Consulting of Seattle; and Littoral Power Systems, Inc., of New Bedford, Massachusetts. “It has been impressive to see how far the industry has come in the last decade or so thanks to investments from DOE and support from the state and other entities,” said Tuba Ozkan-Haller, acting dean and professor in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. “Full-scale testing at PacWave is sure to accelerate development even more, assuring that wave energy conversion devices are effective and efficient at harnessing the power of Oregon’s majestic waves with minimal adverse environmental impacts.”
