THREE CAPES MARATHON RELAY, which begins at Cape Meares and finishes at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, will take place on Saturday, Feb. 29. More than 700 runners are expected to compete.
Gala raises funds for Art Literacy program Community gathers in support of CAP’s art education program By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun It was a gala full of food, fun, music and art when the Community Arts Project hosted its annual fundraiser for the group’s Art Literacy program, “Your Art’s Desire: A Celebration of Art, Wine & Chocolate,” on Feb. 8. Spilling into the Kiawanda Community Center for the gala was a full house of revelers, each of who perused work by participating artists, sampled hors d’oeuvres courtesy of Pelican Brewing, Oar House Bar & Grill, and Riverhouse Nestucca, and sipped on vino thanks to Seufert Winery and Twist Wine Co. or beer thanks to the Pelican. The event also featured the music of Brenna Sage, a silent auction and a wine cork pull, which, in its first year, raised $660. In total, the event raised more than $15,000 for CAP’s Art Literacy program. “I think it went really well,” CAP board member Debra Wisniewski told the Sun. “We had good attendance, and people really seemed to have a good time. As a board we appreciate how many individuals and businesses participated to make it a success. It will really help out our art literacy programs.” Currently, Art Literacy programs are held at Nestucca Valley Elementary School, Cloverdale and Garibaldi Grade School, Garibaldi. Each month an age-appropriate 90-minute art education session is conducted in each classroom focusing on a famous artist or art movement. The lesson includes art history, technique, and aesthetic analysis, as well as an opportunity for each student to create their own artwork in the style of the artist or art movement presented. More than 500 students are taught every month. The program is privately funded and sponsored by CAP and relies on funding from special events, grants, and the generous donations of local individuals and businesses.

TAPA to hold auditions on Feb. 15 for new play
The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts will hold auditions for its upcoming performance of “And Then There Were None” on Feb. 15, 2-4 p.m., at the Tillamook County Main Library’s Copeland Room. TAPA is seeking to fill 11 roles — for both men and women of any age — for the play, which was written by Agatha Christie and is being directed by Chris Chiola. As well, volunteers are being sought for the show’s stage and tech crew. For more information or to request a cast listing, those interested can contact Chris Chiola at 503-812-7036 or at chiola1970@yahoo.com. Based on her most successful novel, Christie wrote the stage version herself in response to the dark days of the Second World War. The play was a smash hit in London and Broadway and has been performed consistently ever since. In the story, 10 strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate as each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. This production in presented by permission of Samuel French.
Study focuses on shoreline erosion concerns CORVALLIS, Ore. – An Oregon land use policy creates a large economic value for some private homeowners who are allowed to protect their shoreline against erosion, according to a new Oregon State University study. The research directly informs policy on a contentious issue on the Oregon coast — the tradeoff between a homeowner’s ability to protect their private property and public access to Oregon’s beaches, said Steven Dundas, corresponding author and economist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station. The study, published in the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, also comes at a time when the future of coastal management in Oregon is up for discussion given the threats of sea-level rise due to climate change. Oregon’s Statewide Land Use Planning Goals inform mandatory and comprehensive land-use plans at the local level. Goal 18 sets rules for protecting beaches and dunes from development and reducing impacts from natural hazards, including a prohibition on “armoring” private property. Armoring the shoreline with sloped structures composed of large rocks slows down erosion on that property — but it has potential to change sediment flows, redirects wave action, and disrupts recreation access and aesthetics. Goal 18 exempts property from the restriction on shoreline armoring if it was developed or slated for development prior to Jan. 1, 1977. Winter storms routinely generate large ocean waves off the Oregon Coast, making bluff and dune erosion a com-

mon and irreversible occurrence. At the time of the study, 49 percent of Oregon’s residential oceanfront property — 4,628 parcels — were eligible for armoring. Thirty-six percent were ineligible, and the remaining parcels were either stateowned or deemed undevelopable under other statutes. “We found that vulnerable properties capitalize on this armoring option in a big way,” Dundas said. In their empirical analysis of the Oregon oceanfront housing market from 2004-2015, Dundas and co-author, OSU economist David Lewis, found that the option for armoring private property can increase the value of vulnerable properties by 13 percent to 22 percent, but doesn’t affect the value of properties that aren’t vulnerable. “Given the large economic value that is attached to the option to armor oceanfront property, our results indicate that the oceanfront land market expects low elevation land on eroding shorelines to be vulnerable to serious

damage without armoring,” Dundas said. While Goal 18 is aimed at protecting coastal resources from overdevelopment, ineligible properties adjacent to eligible ones sell for 8 percent less due to the potential for increased damage from deflected wave action. Dundas was a member of a focus group convened by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, which administers Goal 18. The focus group discussed the future of the policy during six public meetings in 2019 and submitted its final report in September. Dundas and Lewis are faculty members in the Department of Applied Economics in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences. Funding for the study was provided by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Association’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Competitive Research Program, through its Cooperative Institutes Program.

Apartments being considered CAC to host discussion on apartment proposal that would serve the workforce in Pacific City The Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee will host a discussion on a proposed apartment complex under development by local landscaping company Coyote Gardens during its quarterly meeting on Saturday, Feb. 15, 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church. In a Feb. 10 interview with the Sun, Coyote Gardens co-owner Kevin Shluka outlined some of the particulars — including his vision for the project. The project, which Kevin, together with his wife Katie, is planning on building on a 30,000 square foot lot located on the corner of Pacific Avenue and Sunset Drive, will be designed for workforce housing, defined as housing targeted to households bringing in 80 to 120 percent of median income. In Pacific City, household median income is approximately $40,000. He said the goal of the project is to satisfy some of the demand for workforce housing in the area and to do so in such a way that is respectful to the community at large. “As local employers we understand first-hand how the lack of attainable housing acts as a hindrance to keeping (Pacific City) a healthy community,” Shluka said. “We decided to begin a project with longterm, dignified, work-force housing as our goal. It’s a design challenge to make a building beautiful and functional, have it fit with the character of the community,
and still be available at rental rates that local working people can afford. There seems to be enough people, organizations, and municipalities aware of the breadth of the problem and willing to help. We believe that with that help we will realize our goal and build something much greater than you’d expect of work-force housing.” Kevin said that though the project is still in the design process, because that process is well on its way, he was confident that he would be able to provide “somewhere in the realm” of 25 units in the two-story complex. The preliminary plan for the units is be comprised mainly of studios and two-bedroom units, though he hopes to make one or more three-bedrooms units a reality as well. Noting that the lot, which is adjacent the Beachy Bridge and the Nestucca River, has been a longtime angling spot, he said that access will be maintained for those wanting to fish the shoreline. He says they are striving to include parking for fishing use, but that it was unclear if they’d be able to achieve that goal. Though the Shlukas have yet to submit a conditional use application for the project to Tillamook County, they did get a promise of a letter of water availability from the Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority during PCJWSA’s board of director meeting on Feb. 4. Other agenda items at the CAC meeting include updates on the Pacific City/ Woods Parking Study and the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, as well as reports from the County Parks Advisory Committee, the Tillamook County Roads Advisory Committee and the South County Emergency Volunteer Corps.
ORCA files appeal for Tierra Del Mar cable landing project The Oregon Coast Alliance has reportedly filed with the State Land Use Board of Appeals a Notice of Intent to Appeal a Jan. 9 determination by Tillamook County Commissioners to support a Jupiter Submarine Cable landing at a residential lot in Tierra Del Mar. At issue is the County Commission’s determination to grant Facebook a conditional use permit to conduct drilling on an ocean front lot located in the residential neighborhood of Tierra Del Mar.

As well, a “stay” to the construction work for the cable landing was filed with LUBA on Feb. 11. How LUBA decides to respond could have a key effect as, according to a Jan. 28 draft of the Project Jupiter Construction Management Plan, which was shared with the Tierra Del Mar community on that same date, preconstruction was planned to begin on Jan. 29 and continue for 15 work days and construction was to start “on or about Feb. 19,” and also last approximately 15 work days.
PCJWSA to replace short water main along Brooten Rd. The Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Board of Directors approved a project on Feb. 4 that will replace an aging two-inch main that runs along the east side of Brooten Road from 6th Street to Stephens Avenue. The main serves five connections. PCJWSA manager Kirk Medina said the approximately 980-foot section is failing as the need to repair it six times in 2019 attests to. The section will be replaced by Bull’s Eye Direction Boring at a cost of $27 per linear foot for a total of $26,335. With surveying underway as of press time, the plan is to have the work done before spring break — and the added traffic that will bring.
“In my opinion, it’s an extremely good price for this type of project,” Medina said. “Water main replacements that are done under traditional excavation practices cost anywhere from $150 to $200 a linear foot. For this price, it’s actually going to be economical to replace that main and keep it so that we have some redundant supply on Brooten Road through that area.” Medina added that while not part of this project, the Authority hopes to later add a fire hydrant to Stephens Avenue by later installing a six-inch line across Brooten Road to serve that area. It was not added to the current project because a two-inch main isn’t sufficient for a hydrant.

The Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters, Inc. will hold their third annual Surf and Turf Dinner & Silent Auction on Saturday, Feb. 22 at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. The event will kick off at 4:30 p.m. with appetizers and a social time to peruse and bid on silent auction items. The Surf and Turf dinner, which will include tri-tip and locally caught Dungeness crab, sides, and a dessert, will be served at 6 p.m. A wide variety of items have been donated for the silent auction. An example of gift certificates up for bid include those from Tillamook Farmers’ Co-op, BJ’s Fabric & Quilts, and SouthPawz Groom Shop. Items in the auction include a delivery of gravel from Mayhew Trucking LLC, a fire pit from Kimmel True Value Hardware & Appliance, a fishing quilt from Debbie Fox, and Oregon Civil War items from Kenny & Nicole Hurliman. Tickets are $50 per person and include dinner, two drink tickets, and two raffle tickets. Tickets are available at Oregon Coast Bank, Pacific City (35490 Brooten Rd.) and The Rusty Cow (34385 US Hwy. 101 S., Cloverdale.) Beer and wine will also be available for purchase. As a fundraiser, the event will help support the future development of four athletic fields that will eventually be built behind Nestucca Valley Elementary School. The fields will consist of game fields for baseball and softball as well as a practice field for each. A planned feature of all four fields will be to make them easily convertible from baseball to softball so that NVASI can host tournaments using all four fields. NVASI vice president Josh Armstrong said that he’d like to see the fundraiser match what it has raised in each of the last two years — meaning bringing in another $35,000 to support the project. For more information on NVASI, visit nvasi.org.

A Flair for the Classics
Alexander String Quartet to bring its sounds to Neskowin Chamber Music concert on March 1 The Alexander String Quartet, which is celebrating its 36th year as an ensemble, will present a concert in the Neskowin Chamber Music series on Sunday, March 1 at 3 p.m. at Camp Wi-Ne-Ma. In three-plus decades, the Alexander has performed in major music capitals of the world on five continents. It is widely admired for its interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart, and Shostakovich. As well, its recordings of these works have been acclaimed by critics everywhere. The quartet is also known for its advocacy of new music and has commissioned a number of works in that genre. A major presence in its home base of San Francisco, the quartet serves as Ensemble in Residence for San Francisco performances and as director of the Morrison Music Center at San Francisco State University’s College of Liberal Arts. The Alexander’s performance calendar includes appearances at Lincoln Center, the 92nd Street Y, and the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, Jordan Hall in Boston and the Library of Congress and Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, among other places.

Windermere Foundation Celebrates 30 Years of Giving! This year we celebrate the Windermere Foundation’s 30th anniversary with a renewed year-long focus on giving back, doing more, and providing service to the communities that have made us who we are. Every time a Windermere agent sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1989. Each year, contributions from Windermere agents, combined with donations from Windermere employees and community members, have allowed the Windermere Foundation to support non-profit agencies dedicated to helping low-income and homeless families. We are incredibly grateful to be able to live and work in the Tillamook South County community!

Applauding the Plant
KIRK MEDINA, Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority manager, poses in front the sequential batch reactors that are a key part of the Authority’s upgraded wastewater treatment plant. PCJWSA and Parametrix were awarded an Engineering Excellence Honor Award for the design and construction of the enhancement project at a Jan. 30 American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon awards ceremony.
PCJWSA’s upgraded Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently honored with an engineering excellence award By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority and Parametrix, its engineering and design firm, were awarded an Engineering Excellence Honor Award at the American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon awards ceremony on Jan. 30. The award was for the design and construction of PCJWSA’s Wastewater Treatment Plan enhancement project, a $10.6 million upgrade of its wastewater treatment plant, which, in a recent retroactive agreement between its contractor McClure & Sons and PCJWSA, reached substantial completion on May 24, 2019. The plant is now meeting all Department of Environmental Quality discharge requirements. The project was funded by a USDA Rural Development grant and lowinterest loans. “The award is primarily for engineering and design and how the construction was administered. (It) emphasizes how successful this project has turned out to be for the Authority,” said Authority manager Kirk Medina. “It
was nominated because the project went smoothly and it came in as budgeted and is functional and considered a very successful project. They take everything (into account) — the design, the construction, and the operation of the project. It was an overall evaluation of the project.” Medina said that amongst the major improvements provided by the project are increased capacity and improved efficiency. As well, he says the plant now has improved grit removal, and quality of effluent, is producing high-quality bio-solids for land application, makes possible lower operating costs, and has reduced odors. The Authority’s upgraded wastewater treatment plant is built around a sequential batch reactor treatment system. “We’ve increased our capacity and also the efficiency of the operation so

we’re able to utilize less staff time for this automated system,” Medina said about the improved plant. “It’s not only cost effective, it’s proven to be very efficient at providing us high quality effluent. (The) improvements have also lowered our operating cost and there’s fewer odors as a result of these more modern treatment practices.” Elements of the plant include a grit removal system that removes rock and debris from effluent, and an equalization basin that provides preliminary aeration before pumping effluent into the sequential batch reactors where oxygen is added into the water to allow chemical and biological breakdown of the effluent. From there, disc filters further filter the

effluent before its decanted off the reactors and sent to an ultraviolet disinfection treatment process. “(It’s) very typical for advanced wastewater treatment to be done this way,” Medina said. “And it’s certainly proven to be the most cost-effective solution for PCJWSA.” Although the base project has been operational since last spring, the Authority isn’t done yet. Because there was still grant money available, the Authority is going to construct a third disc filter at a cost of $550,000. “It will expand our overall treatment capacity (and) allow the other older units to be (temporarily) taken offline for maintenance and repairs,” Medina said.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY DEPUTIES used GPS triangulation from a cell phone and a location description from a passenger to locate the site of a motor vehicle accident with suspected serious injuries on US Forest Service Road 4 on Saturday, Feb. 8.
Injuries suffered in crash on Mt. Hebo
Tillamook County deputies responded to a report of a serious injury crash on US Forest Service Road 14 on the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 8, eventually locating a pickup that had rolled down an embankment at approximately milepost 8. Deputies located the accident via GPS triangulation from a cell phone and the description of the location from a passenger. According to a release to the media, Keith Morago, 52, of Junction City, had been driving a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup westbound on NFS road 14 from Niagara Road toward Lake Hebo when he lost control of the vehicle in the snow and went off the road and rolled down an embankment. According to police, Morago showed signs of alcohol consumption and there was evidence
of impairment. Morago, who had to be extricated, consented to a legal blood draw and results are pending. Both Morago and his passenger, Kandy Staples-Cooper, 48, of Netarts, were transported to the Tillamook Regional Medical Center via ambulance with suspected serious injuries. Two dogs in the vehicle were transported to the Tillamook K9 Shelter for safekeeping. Charges for DUII are pending the results of the blood draw. The investigation is ongoing, but at this time, the Sheriff’s Office is reporting that it appears alcohol, and weather / road conditions may have been contributing factors in this collision. Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office was assisted on scene by Nestucca Rural Fire, Adventist Health Ambulance, and Tillamook 911.

Cultural Trust to host ‘Conversations with Funders and Partners’ on Feb. 20 at Tillamook Co. Library
Grant makers offering more than $5 million in funding for the 2021 fiscal year will participate in an Oregon Cultural Trust’s 2020 “Conversations with Funders and Partners” event on Thursday, Feb. 20, 3-6 p.m. in the Tillamook County Library Hatfield Room (1716 Third St., Tillamook). Registration is not required. The event is part of a statewide, eight-stop series of informal information sessions running from Feb. 19 to March 12. Organizers say the sessions will enable grant seekers to learn about available funding programs and give them the opportunity to discuss their projects and programming. Participating with the Cultural Trust will be representatives from four of its Statewide Partners – the Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage, Oregon Humanities and the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office – as well as counterparts from The Oregon Community Foundation, the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, Travel Oregon, Oregon Parks and Recreation (three locations), the State Library of Oregon, the Marion Soil and Water Conservation District (Salem only) and Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture Council (Portland only); among others. Representatives from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, who receive Trust funding for local grant programs, also will participate. Organizations encouraged to attend “Conversations with Funders and Partners” include community development organizations, libraries, arts organizations, museums, cultural centers, parks and trails groups, historical societies, arts alliances, literary groups and heritage organizations. All cultural nonprofit organizations are welcome. “There are more than 1,450 cultural nonprofits serving Oregonians,” said Aili Schreiner, Oregon Cultural Trust manager. “We want to make sure they know about the significant funding and programming resources that are here to support them.” Among the funding opportunities discussed at the Conversations events will be the Cultural Trust’s FY2021 Cultural Development Program (funds to be awarded summer of 2020). The Cultural Development Program recognizes and supports significant projects through four program funded categories: Access; Preservation; Creativity; and Capacity. In 2019, the Cultural Trust awarded more than $2.7 million in statewide grants. Cultural Development Program grants represent one third of the annual funding the Cultural Trust provides to Oregon’s cultural nonprofits. Other funding includes grants to the Trust’s five statewide partners – to support their mission goals and respective funding programs – and to 45 county and tribal cultural coalitions that fund local initiatives, projects and programs. FY2021 Cultural Development Program grants are for projects and activities that will occur between Sept. 1, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2021. Grant guidelines are available at https://culturaltrust.org/wp-content/uploads/Final_CDV_ FY2021_Guidelines.pdf. The deadline for applicatons is Friday, April 17. For more information, contact Aili Schreiner at aili.schreiner@oregon.gov or 503986-0089.

Tillamook Bay Community College faculty member Sydney Elliott was recently honored as the recipient of the 2020 Dale P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty Award from the American Association of Community Colleges. The national award recognizes individuals who demonstrate a passion for students, show a willingness to support students inside and outside of the classroom, participate in college committees, and go beyond what is required to ensure students are successful in their academic endeavors. In his nomination letter on her behalf, Dr. Ross Tomlin, president of TBCC stated, “I have been in community colleges for almost 40 years, with over 20 years of that as a faculty member. I have not seen another faculty member in all those years that has Courtesy photo more passion for helping students learn and fall in TBCC instructor Sydney Elliott. love with learning as Sydney has. I consider her a master teacher that genuinely cares about each and every student in her class.” A full-time English instructor at TBCC, Elliott has been credited with being instrumental in developing a writing studio at the college to support students. In addition to her work in the classroom, she served on the Equity and Inclusion Committee at the college and is currently a member of the Safety Committee. She also volunteers for the Tillamook County Search and Rescue team and teaches classes in women’s self-defense in her free time. Elliott holds a Bachelor of Art in English from Portland State University and graduated from Pacific Lutheran University’s Rainier Writing Workshop with a Master’s of Fine Art in Creative Writing. She is the editor of the Community College Humanities Review and serves as the Community College Humanities Association’s National Publications Director. She is the past recipient of the Regional Educator Award for the Community College Humanities Association. “I am so proud of Sydney,” said Dr. Teresa Rivenes, chief academic officer of TBCC. “In my career I have never nominated a faculty member for this level of national award. I feel that strongly about Sydney’s work in the classroom and its impact on student success. Sydney introduces her students to international poets and helps them publish as part of her work. She gives our students amazing opportunities.” The American Association of Community Colleges is the primary advocacy organization for the nation’s community colleges. The association represents nearly 1,200 two-year associate degree-granting institutions and more than 12 million students.

Relay to take runners along 3 Capes
More than 700 runners expected when Three Capes Marathon Relay finishes at Cape Kiwanda on Feb. 29
Runners from around the Northwest will challenge their fitness as they each do their share of nearly 2,400 feet of climb when they take on the Three Capes Marathon Relay on Saturday, Feb. 29. The race, now in its seventh year, rewards runners with many ocean vistas and more as it makes its way 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, which aids younger runners, focusing mostly on first- through fifthgrade athletes; and the Ultimook Running Camp, which is held every summer. “It’s very unique as it goes over 3 Capes and runs along the coastline,” Ultimook media manager Chelsea Yarnell said about the relay. “There’s very few races in Oregon where runners can see such diverse landscapes.” Runners can compete either as a two- or five-person team or solo. Team categories include family, business, school, or Clydesdale. 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 Refuges, multiple Tillamook County Parks, and boasts stunning vantage points of the Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. The race starts off at the intersection of Bayocean Road NW and Bayshore Drive, adjacent to Cape Meares Lake and finishes at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City. The first of the five legs will take runners and walkers on a nearly 600foot climb as it treats participants to views of Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge on the way to the first interchange at Oceanside. From there, competitors will take on the secondlongest leg of the course and be treated to views of both the Pacific Ocean overlooking Oceanside and Netarts Bay. The third leg, rated as the most diffi-

cult thanks to an 800-foot climb, starts along Netarts Bay just past the Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery and finishes at the Summit of Cape Lookout State Park. From there, participants will take on the relay’s longest leg, which features an elevation drop of 600 feet and finishes at Whalen Island State Park. The final leg takes runners on a relatively flat stretch past Tierra Del Mar and into Pacific City, finishing on Hungry Harbor Road, just in front of the beach at Cape Kiwanda. All participants will receive a custom medal when crossing the finish line.
The cost for registration is $199 for a five-person team, $99 for a two-person team, and the solo marathoner is $69. Runners must register by Feb. 21 to receive a race shirt with registration. The race begins Feb. 29 at 9 a.m. in Cape Meares, but earlier start times are available for walkers and slower runners. Packet pickup and late registration will be hosted at Tillamook High School on Feb. 28, 6-8 p.m. For more information and to register, visit threecapesrelay.oregoncoastalflowers.com.

Horton, who was appointed by Tillamook County Commissioners last year when former Sheriff Andy Long retired, is seeking to win his first election as the county’s sheriff.

Tierra Del Mar resident forms ‘Save Our Shoreline’ PAC Tierra Del Mar resident Ed Ruttledge has formed a new political action committee titled “Save Our Shoreline Political Action Committee,” a committee he says will be aimed at preserving “Oregon’s shoreline and adjacent areas.” “SOSPAC will work to support candidates for elective office who value our shoreline and oppose those who do not,” he said. In a media release, Ruttledge voiced his concern over Tillamook County Commissioners Bill Baertlein and David Yamamoto siding with Facebook’s effort to land a fiber optic cable in Tierra Del Mar. “The residents of Tierra Del Mar have learned an important lesson — to preserve our unique shoreline, we can no longer just think local residents will be supported by local leaders,” he wrote in the announcement. “We must get politically involved. SOSPAC is a start, it will help us get better organized within the political arena.” In a Feb. 13 interview with the Sun, Ruttledge said the genesis of the PAC was the community’s experience with the Facebook project.
“We were pretty much channeled into a process of an appeal,” he said, adding he felt a PAC would give them more standing. “Our perspective is this project by Facebook jeopardizes the shoreline, as well as this tiny residential community. We think we need to support people that are (supportive) of this unique shoreline.” Yamamoto, who contacted the Sun after seeing a Facebook post about the PAC being formed, said that it unfairly portrays his commitment to ocean and shoreline issues. Pointing to his work on Oregon’s Territorial Sea Plan and his successful appeal of the Oregon Land Conservation and Development’s adoption of the Territorial Sea Plan, Part 5, which originally designated waters off Pacific City and Neskowin as one of the areas designated with the lowest development restrictions, he said that he’s long been involved with ocean policy. He also noted his work as a member of the Ocean Policy Advisory Committee and the Oregon Coast Zone Management Association. Those interested in SOSPAC can contact Ruttledge at 360-915-2007 or ed.ruttledge@comcast.net.
