ost everyone faces a health challenge or two. Sometimes it’s a minor annoyance while other times it’s a debilitating disease. And now South Tillamook County residents have one more tool in the toolbox to not just get some relief but to address the problem at its root. Sprout Holistic Nutrition, located at Bayshore Medical Center, 38505 Brooten Road, Suite E, Pacific City, features the expertise of Mia Williamson, a holistic nutritionist whose goal is to help people address health challenges ranging from chronic fatigue to migraines, digestive issues to fertility challenges, and more. “The goal is really to see where people are at — pretty much anybody can benefit from a consult,” she says, noting that the initial meetup is free. Her approach then moves to reviewing health history and then asking clients to do a little homework — including food journaling. From there, she comes up with a meal plan, any recommended lifestyle changes, as well as supplement suggestions, if necessary. “We (take) baby steps toward better health,” Williamson says. “I’ve worked with people with different autoimmune conditions, fertility struggles, athletes — everything across the board. I do my best to help them out.” She also works with athletes to help them reach their goals — whether that’s trimming down or bulking up. “I have worked with people that either have fitness goals or they’re trying to lose or gain weight,” she says. “We can do specific meal plans like tracking carbs, proteins and fat (intake). We’re all different, and it just helps people reach their goals a little faster and more succinctly without running into issues with guesswork.” Williamson, who also serves as manager of Moment Surf Shop, says she was attracted to
a nutritionist career after having health issues in her youth while growing up in Newport. But then, after seeing a holistic nutritionist in college, she got back on track and discovered how easy it can be to resolve health issues in certain situations. A graduate of Bauman College with a degree in holistic nutrition consulting, she says she’s eager to help citizens of the coast. “I feel really lucky to have this clinic space because we have the doctor’s office upstairs and they’re super supportive.” Though insurance companies do not currently pay for services such as hers, she says she does what she can to make her services accessible. “I do offer a sliding scale or payment plans,” she said. “On the coast, I know there are varying incomes. I don’t ever want it to be something that’s not accessible. I’m happy to work with people.” In addition to consulting with individuals, she offers workshops for corporations or businesses. She also offers grocery store tours, which she says helps clients that have embraced a healthier menu feel comfortable finding the new foods in their diet. Williamson is seeing patients Tuesday through Thursday, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Fridays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. To set up an appointment, contact her via email at mia@sproutholisticnutrition.com or by visiting her website at sproutholisticnutrition. com. Sprout Holistic Nutrition is one part of a tandem of health services under the umbrella of Three Capes Natural Medicine. The other half is Ocean Heart Acupuncture run by Liz Vitale., who is a licensed acupuncturist and has served the community since January 2019. Visit threecapesnaturalmedicine.com to learn more about both services. The duo are also planning to host an open house to showcase the new clinic space on May 27, 5-7 p.m.

Big, active winter tides can be fascinating to watch from a distance, but very dangerous if you’re on the beach or even nearby. Sign developed by Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development.
Water safety takes thinking ahead for both locals and visitors By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook County Visitors Association As summer approaches and people visit the Oregon Coast in higher numbers, it’s time to talk about water safety. Whether a visitor is from the Midwest and not familiar with strong Pacific Ocean tides, or a local fails to proceed caution, it’s good to go over safety tips. The nearest water safety teams are based in Netarts and Lincoln City, both several miles away. Our emergency management teams closer to Pacific City may not have the equipment or volunteers who can get quickly to people in danger, especially if other emergency calls are happening at the same time. Let’s go over the seven main points of water safety, and refer to the poster image developed by Surfrider Foundation that goes more in depth. This image is from the signage at Cape Kiwanda, and is shown in Spanish and English.
(see number 6 on the graphic). If you’re caught in one, it can pull you away from shore. Swim, tread, paddle or float parallel to the beach until you’re out of the current and can get back to safety. If not, wave your arms and yell loudly for help. 6. Make yourself visible to boats (they have right-of-way) and the surfers. You don’t want to get hit or run over – and yes, that’s happened. 7. Remember this rule of the Oregon Coast: Never turn your back on the ocean. WINTER’S KING TIDES And if visiting next winter, King Tides are fascinating to watch from a big distance, but dangerous if you’re on the beach or even near the shore. King Tides are winter’s highest tide sequences on the Oregon Coast, and they occur when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned to produce the greatest tidal effects of the year. King Tides can flood beaches and roads, and reach great heights, exploding over sea walls, reaching inland onto nearby trails or walkways. Sneaker waves can knock you off your feet, logs can easily roll, trapping you underneath. The key points for both summer and winter are 1) educate yourself, and 2) be
1. Go with a buddy. Being alone in the ocean, or in a bay or river, can decrease your ability to reach shore safely if you get in trouble. 2. Know about the tides before you go. Pick up a tide table at a local business or go to https://www.tideschart.com/ United-States/Oregon/TillamookCounty/PacificCity/. Tides and swells can fluctuate a great deal as the sand distribution changes constantly. 3. Don’t enter the water during outgoing tides, whether you’re in a kayak or using a boogie board. Outgoing tides can be strong. 4. Oregon’s ocean is cold. It doesn’t warm up much, meaning hypothermia is Image courtesy of Surfrider Foundation always a risk, even in summer.

Essential to the community My grandmother was a librarian in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in the 1900s. Maybe that is where my love of libraries and books originated. I have always obtained a library card wherever I lived. When moving to Pacific City 50 years ago, one of the first things I did was find the library to check out books for myself and my two young children. The PC Library began in very humble beginnings in 1971. It was a small building run by volunteers and donated books. In 1973, it moved into a house bought by an anonymous citizen. It had a thrift shop in the back room that enabled the newly formed South Tillamook County Library Club to make modest payments. The third move was to the present location. The new current building was made possible by the land donation and thousands of fundraisers and contributions by individuals. It became a branch of the Tillamook Library system, which pays for the books and librarian’s salary. Once again, the South Tillamook County Library Club helps keep the library building maintained with thrift shop revenue and volunteer help. Our South Tillamook Library serves people in so many ways. It has free internet access where people can come and apply for jobs, do research and connect with friends and family. They can check out movies and audiobooks, and it has a large inventory of large print books. Magazines and newspapers are available to enjoy in cozy settings and a warm room. Librarians are always willing to share local information and help with research or order a book for you. The library is a cheerful gathering space for families, children, residents, and visitors. It was greatly missed when the library needed to shut down during Covid restrictions. The vertical files set up by Carol Johnson are the source of much of my research into local history topics. There will be a tax levy to vote on in May to keep our county libraries open. The proposed tax is the same as in the last five years. Please vote to support our libraries — one of our community’s most essential assets that serves all ages. Sally Rissel Pacific City
Support the Library Levy Since the Tillamook Library’s current levy expires this year, we have the chance to vote for a new levy on this May’s ballot. This new levy will be for the same rate as it was when it was passed in 2017. Factoring in inflation, this levy would be at least 8% less for the next five years! I know I have used our local branch library as well as the Main Library for more than 20 years since we moved to
Tillamook County. The staff has always been helpful and friendly with any requests I might have, too. I have taken advantage of the Mango program to learn a language as well as Kanopy for free films, and have picked up tax forms there. I download books on my tablet and take out physical books, too. But I never used the Bookmobile more than during the pandemic when it they started making stops in my neighborhood. I can now walk to collect books that I reserve, browse their stacks and even borrow DVDs. Although it was valuable for me during Covid, I will continue to use the Library’s bookmobile and branches in the future. I also discovered that the 2003 library building levy that we now pay taxes on will expire next year. That decrease will be reflected in our taxes as well. With our rainy winters, I don’t know what I would have done without our Tillamook County Library. I hope you will join me in voting “Yes” on the 2022 Library tax levy. Carla Albright Rockaway Beach
Deserving of your vote “An informed citizenry,” according to Thomas Jefferson, “is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.” And libraries are fundamental to an informed citizenry. I learned that lesson as a very young child and again when I launched my career as a librarian. The past few years have demonstrated the critical need for accurate, reliable information, and the Tillamook County Library is an essential source. With its branches throughout the county, it not only provides information in every modern format, but meeting rooms for discussions, free WiFi and computers to search for even more information and professional staff to assist. There are services geared to all ages, from story time and crafts for the very young to the bookmobile and curbside service for those of us who don’t get around as easily as we once did. If you’re inclined to be less serious in your information needs, there are movies and book club kits, or you can check out binoculars, ukuleles—even fishing poles. But to provide these services and more, the library needs its operating levy, which must be voted on and renewed every five years. This year’s levy is the same amount as it was in 2017, when it last passed, so taxes will not increase. Please join me in supporting the Tillamook County Library and vote yes on May 17.

OPRD to award 2022 Oregon Heritage Awards Individuals, organizations, and projects that have made outstanding contributions to preserving Oregon’s heritage — including Barbara Trout of Tillamook County Pioneer Museum and Kilchis Point Reserve — will receive awards during a virtual event hosted by Oregon Parks and Recreation on April 28. Receiving Oregon Heritage Awards will be: Jefferson Public Radio’s Jefferson Exchange Underground History Program, Ashland, a monthly radio segment that spotlights little-known aspects of Oregon’s history through the lens of archeology; Capitol History Gateway Project, Salem, a multi-year project that resulted in exhibits, events, tours, and a digital welcome center at the Oregon State Capitol building; and It Did Happen Here Podcast, Portland. The It Did Happen Here Podcast honors the memory of Mulugeta Seraw and records the movement that disrupted White Nationalists organizing in Oregon in the late 1980s and 1990s. Awards recognize action taken to preserve and share Oregon’s heritage over and above the call of duty. “This year’s award recipients represent projects that serve as inspiration and models for preserving Oregon’s stories, especially the lesser told and untold stories,” said Katie Henry, coordinator for the Oregon Heritage Commission. “These projects offer unique opportunities to engage with and learn about Oregon’s diverse heritage and help expand current interpretation.” This year there is a new award category for standout heritage volunteers and recognizing their critical contributions to heritage preservation efforts in Oregon. And Trout is amongst the 2022 Standout Heritage Volunteers. Others are: Robert Zimmerling, Lewis
and Clark National Historic Park; MaryPat “Patti” Ball, Jefferson Historical Society and Museum; Kristine Deacon, Oregon State Archives; Willie B. Richardson, Oregon Black Pioneers; Robert Butler, Malheur Country Historical Society; Larry Landis, Benton County Historic Resources Commission; Cory Mesloh Hamann, Big Butte Historical Society; Bruce Carey, Friends of Kam Wah Chung & Co Museum, Oregon State Parks; Carol Knapp, SOULA: Eagle Brewery Project; Oregon Post Commander David Solomon, American Legion Post 19, Albany; Doug Reynolds, USFS Malheur National Forest Passport in Time program; Eric Williams, Astoria Public Library; Gayle Lewis, Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project (OCDP); Oregon State Capitol Volunteer Team, Oregon State Capitol and Capitol History Gateway; Steve Hussey, Archaeological Society of Central Oregon; William “Bill” Sparks III, Grand Lodge of Oregon Cemetery Committee; and Carla Wright, Prairie City Historic Cemetery District. Award winners will be honored at a virtual event on April 28, 5-6 p.m. The event is open to the public and is part of the 2022 Virtual Oregon Heritage conference. During the Awards event, videos of the award winning projects will be debuted and award winners will be able to do a live, virtual acceptance of the award. The videos can be accessed at oregonheritage.org following the event. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards are a program of Oregon Heritage, part of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. For more information, contact Katie Henry at 503-877-8834 or katie.henry@oprd. oregon.gov.

As previously reported in the Sun, the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners will hold a virtual public hearing on Monday, April 25, starting at 8:30 a.m., to consider an appeal of the Tillamook County Planning Commission’s decision to approve a conditional use request to allow development of a 19-site recreation campground on an approximately 18-acre portion of a 58.51acre parcel in Tierra Del Mar. The hearing will address an appeal brought forth by Tierra Del Mar property owner Lisa MacyBaker and will be held at the Tillamook County Courthouse, meeting rooms A & B. Accessed via Floyd Avenue, the
proposed campground, owned by Oregon Treehouse Partners LLC, is located within the Rural Residential 2-acre zoned land, with the entire parcel split zoned as its 58 acres encompasses both RR-2 and Small Farm and Woodlot-20. The hearing will take place virtually with a livestream. In-person attendees will be required to wear a mask in accordance with the current County Courthouse procedures. A copy of the record is available at co.tillamook.or.us/commdev/landuseapps. For more information, email Lynn Tone at ltone@co.tillamook.or.us or call 1-800488-8280, extension 3423.
Prayer gathering planned for County Courthouse grounds Americans from all walks of life will gather on Thursday, May 5 to lift up our country in prayer for the National Day of Prayer including right here in Tillamook County. U.S. citizens have endured a year marked by struggles, tragedy and pain, but organizers say they know prayer has carried the nation through these days and the hand of God will move the country into a brighter future. With that in mind, all are being invited to participate either in person or virtually by livestream through Tillamook County Wide Prayer Team on FaceBook. Tillamook County will celebrate National Day of Prayer through a Proclamation for the day being a Day of Prayer in Tillamook County. The TCWPT will also host a gathering at the Tillamook County Courthouse front lawn at the flagpole, 201 Laurel, Tillamook from noon-1 pm. This year marks the 71st year since Reverend Billy Graham stood on the capitol steps in February 1952 and called for congress and the president to establish a day of prayer. By April of that year, President Truman signed the legislation into public law. For seven decades, the efforts of the National Day of Prayer Task Force have mobilized Americans to observe the National Day of Prayer in all 50 states and in U.S. territories to pray for those who lead and those in need in our nation. The National Day of Prayer is held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a JudeoChristian expression of the national observance, based on the understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.

T
he Kiwanda Corridor Project hit another milestone on Saturday, April 16 as more than 100 concerned citizens attended an open house for the project where they first took in a 30-minute presentation at the Kiawanda Communty Center’s Great Hall and then circled over to the adjoining Faye Jensen Hall where they visited five stations, each one highlighting a different portion of the planned improvements along Cape Kiwanda Drive. With attendees taking up nearly every available seat, the meeting began with Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto sharing his thoughts on not only the need for the project, but the necessity of residents sharing their feedback. “We know that there are issues in the community and that’s what we’re trying to address here,” he said. “We need to balance the visitor experience with the needs of the local residents and businesses in this area.” He also addressed the effect the pandemic has had on the growing crowds of Cape Kiwanda. “We thought initially our tourism industry was going to collapse when the pandemic hit two years ago,” he said. “(That was) not the case as we all know. People decided they needed to vacation, but they needed to do it close to home. And when we have the Portland metro area right on the other side of the coast range, that created huge issues for Pacific City, Tillamook County, the entire Oregon Coast, (as well as) Central Oregon. We are not alone. We are not.” Yamamoto also addressed the fact that money — and a lot of it — is on its way to help address the problem. He noted that while it hasn’t been approved yet and won’t be until May, the county had just completed three days of budget hearings, a process that, as of the the open house, had $15 million earmarked to start the redevelopment project along Cape Kiwanda Drive. “That is not general fund revenue from the county,” he added. “That’s not your tax dollars. These are transient lodging fees being paid for by our visitors, which is very important to keep in mind. We don’t know whether we’ll be spending that in the next

COMMUNITY MEMBERS (above) toured five stations where they had opportunity to ask questions and make comments about each of the proposed Kiwanda Corridor projects. Below, at left, Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto shares the importance of moving forward with the improvements as well as news of the $15 million in non general fund money that Tillamook County Commissioners are expected to approve as part of their annual budget for the project. Below, at right, Brook Wyntergreen, destination manager for South Tillamook County, explains options being considered for a multi-use path that would make for safer pedestrian travel between Bob Staub State Park and Cape Kiwanda.
fiscal year. It’s possible. It just gives us the spending authority should we put all of your ideas together and come up with a plan that will allow us the spending authority to really get this project started. Your thoughts here are going to be very important.” AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS Putting the project in perspective prior to people dispersing to look at the different proposals in detail was project engineer Nicholas McMurtrey, of MurraySmith. “We’re really trying to solve the congestion problems that are causing livability problems for the local residents,” he said. “Some of the tools we’re looking at to relieve those traffic congestion issues are going to be making parking more efficient, making wayfinding more obvious,
trying to get people to stop circulating the neighborhood streets and find those elusive parking spots and then also introducing new ways of traveling with multi-modal pathways so that people can get out their cars and instead use the transit system.” The areas that engineers, designers and Tillamook County officials are looking at are the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot, a multiuse path stretching from Bob Straub State Park to Cape Kiwanda, the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance’s lot where there is a skate park and a to-be-developed community park, Webb County Campground where the proposal is to turn it into an overflow parking lot, and the Jensen Property, which McMurtrey said represents “a real opportunity to help shift the center of gravity

OPINIONS were aplenty and questions abounded as community members discussed the various options for improving the traffic flow, the parking accommodations and the facilities serving visitors and residents at Cape Kiwanda. The public has until April 25 to comment on the current alternatives and can do so by visiting tillamookcoast.com/ southcounty/kiwanda-corridor, emailing kiwanda@tillamookcoast.com, or calling the project hotline at 503-303-8383.

away from the Cape.” He also focused in on the project’s core values. “Generally speaking, we want to try to honor the place and the people that live here, do things in a sustainable manner that protects the environment, improves safety, and do this in a fiscally responsible way,” McMurtrey said. “We’re really trying to use these to guide the process and we have a survey (available by visiting surveymonkey. com/kiwanda-corridor) set up that can help prioritize how you all feel these are important to you. And, ultimately, that can help us select a preferred alternative and make some tough decisions because there is no silver bullet to relieving the traffic issue here.” As of press time the community survey had received more than 100 responses. It is open until Monday, April 25. “There’s pros and cons to all these different approaches, so, by helping us understand your priorities, (that) will identify the preferred alternative,” McMurtrey added.
“That’s an especially important process because, at the end of the day, we have to try to come up with a plan that the Board of Commissioners is confident in approving into the preferred concept plan.” As community members circulated amongst five stations representing each of the above areas, many conversations were had, opinions shared and comments taken down by the facilitators. CAPE KIWANDA PARKING LOT The proposals presented at the open house all featured a civic overlook and a realignment of Hungry Harbor Road. In Option 1 and 2, the parking would be divided into three primary bays and feature approximately 115 parking stalls in option 1 and 120 in option 2. Both these options would also have central pedestrian circulation along Hungry Harbor Road, and a main restroom and plaza area at Cape Kiwanda Drive. The plaza area would see COMMUNITY MEMBERS, page 14

Three local projects get boost from County’s Tourism Facilities Grants Two South Tillamook County organizations — Shorepine Village HOA and South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps — are amongst 16 entities that will receive their share of $890,048 in the county’s most recent Transient Lodging Tax Community Tourism Facility Grants. The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the awards at its April 13 board meeting. As well, the Pacific City State Airport will receive a TLT grant thanks to a successful application by the Oregon Department of Aviation, which owns the airport. Shorepine Village HOA will receive $75,000 for repairs and rebuilding of the public dune dock, a figure they matched and funded at a level at least three times the amount asked for in the grant application. South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corps’ share will be $28,500, which is earmarked for a storage shed. STCEVC had asked for money for emergency supplies but that wasn’t awarded as it was not considered “facilities.” The county also awarded $20,000 to the ODA to repair flood damage along the Pacific City State Airport’s runway, as well as to conduct a survey and plan for the development of a drainage system. Using the TLT to benefit the community has been the primary goal of the county commissioners since the TLT was first collected in 2014. One of the ways that is accomplished is through a tourism facilities grant process. From 2015 through 2022, nearly $4 million has been distributed through grants to help with local projects. Others who will receive TLT funds include: the City of Bay City for a hiker/ biker campground at Al Griffin Park; the
City of Tillamook for lighting of gateway signs; Hoffman Center for the Arts for an expansion plan; Oceanside Community Club for a roof replacement; Pine Grove Community House for Phase II construction improvements; the Port of Garibaldi for restroom renovations; Rockaway Beach Chamber of Commerce for decking on the visitor center caboose; Sitka Center for Art and Ecology for electric and wall repair; Tillamook Chamber of Commerce for development of a public meeting and workspace; Tillamook County Pioneer Museum to create a host site at Kilchis Point Reserve; Tillamook County Transportation District to remodel the downtown Transit Center; Tillamook Estuaries Partnership for a design of the Estuary Exploration Center; and Tillamook School District for a parking lot at the Port of Tillamook Bay for the new disc golf course. “Visitors invest in our county by spending their vacation dollars at our hotels, house rentals and campgrounds, and paying the lodging tax,” said Nan Devlin, executive director of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA). “The county reinvests those dollars into projects that benefit our local communities. Tillamook County has been a state leader in reinvestment programs since the TLT was implemented.” TCVA managed the tourism facilities grant process this year, working with the Tourism Advisory Council (TAC), a group of community volunteers from throughout the county who are charged with reviewing and scoring applications. Their recommendations were presented to the Tillamook Board of County Commissioners for approval on April 13 at the weekly commissioners meeting.

DMV urges motorists to prepare for air travel Motorists that are planning to travel by air or might in the future, are being urged to be sure they have identification acceptable at airport security checkpoints. Starting in May 2023, travelers will need a Real IDcompliant form of ID for all flights such as a Real ID-compliant driver license, a passport, passport card or U.S. military ID. Because of this, DMV is suggesting that
drivers don’t wait until the rush for Real ID licenses and passports. Those that want the Real ID option on their Oregon driver license or ID card, must apply in person – either by walk in or by appointment. Travelers can make sure they have all they need for Real ID by creating their own checklist of needed documents by using DMV’s online tool at Oregon.gov/RealID.

inbrief Oregon ‘Watch for Wildlife’ license plate available starting on May 4 DMV will start issuing a new license plate May 4 for the Oregon Wildlife Foundation. The “Watch for Wildlife” plate is available for passenger cars only. Motorists can order a set of plates starting May 4 and can do so online through DMV2U – or by visiting a DMV field office. Field offices are open for walk-up service and some offices also offer appointments. Drivers can also order the plates when they purchase a car at an Oregon dealership. To maintain fair distribution of desirable low plate numbers, DMV will not accept preorders. This plate raises funds for the Oregon Wildlife Foundation through an additional $40 donation when DMV issues, renews or replaces the plates. That cost is in addition to plate manufacture, registration, and any other vehicle fees that normally apply, including local registration fees in Clackamas, Multnomah or Washington counties. Customers who purchased a $40 voucher from the foundation during the plate’s launch phase can use the voucher at a DMV office or when purchasing a car at an Oregon car dealership, but not online at DMV2U. All plate holders will be able to renew online the next time their registration fees are due. The Watch for Wildlife plates begin at WW 00001, and DMV issues them in order. Motorists cannot reserve a specific plate number in the series, but can apply for a custom configuration. The plate will also be available in amateur radio (HAM), honorary consular or elected official versions. For more information on plate options and fees, visit https://www.oregon.gov/ odot/dmv/pages/vehicle/plates.aspx.
Ballots to be mailed April 27 Tillamook County voters have until April 26 to register to vote —or to change their party affiliation. Ballots will begin to be mailed the following day on April 27. Voters will have until May 12 to mail their ballots back, or they can drop their votes in ballot drops thoughout the county or the state. Locally, there are drop boxes in downtown Cloverdale at 34370 Highway 101 South and in Pacific City at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City. In Tillamook there are two drops boxes at the Tillamook County Courthouse as well as boxes at the northwest corner of 3rd & Laurel and at the main branch of Tillamook County Library, 1716 3rd St., Tillamook. The county will have until June 13 to certify election results.
Reduce risks by taking part in Wildfire Community Preparedness Day Tillamook Coast Visitors Association and Tillamook County Community Development have partnered to promote the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) national annual campaign to help prevent wildfire impacts. The NFPA’s Wildfire Community Preparedness Day encourages people and organizations to come together on the first Saturday in May to take action to raise awareness and reduce wildfire risks. Wildfires across the Unites States have cost more than 100 lives and more than $40 billion in property losses in just the last three years. That is why organizers say it is so important to take steps to improve the wildfire safety of your home and community. To take the first step, officials suggest participating in Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. There are simple things you can do in an afternoon or over a weekend that research shows will help your home survive a wildfire. To access a toolkit that features tips and ideas, visit https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1nNX90Hs_ nyufA3Pwxwp9GE6QYGOBFel7/view. For more information email: Julie@tillamookcoast.com or visit
TILLAMOOK COAST VISITORS ASSOCIATION and Tillamook County Community Development have teamed up to urge residents to use National Fire Protection Association’s Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, held on May 7, to take steps to improve wildfire safety for their homes and in their community. As the above photo from September 2020 attests, wildfires — and the resulting smoke — are a real threat at the coast.
tillamookcoast.com. Tillamook Coast Visitors Association is dedicated to preserving and enjoying our natural resources. They are a recognized leader in destination management and environmental stewardship, and
accomplish this through regional collaboration with community partners. They say they believe in messaging activities to both visitors and local residents that promote positive impacts for this area’s beautiful coastal area.

Community members share input on alteratives for Kiwanda Corridor feature interpretive information walls, wayfinding/orientation and seating. Option 3 would differ in that parking bays, estimated at 120, would have a northsouth orientation rather than an east-west one. As well, it would have a plaza along Cape Kiwanda Drive but the restroom would be located off of Cape Kiwanda Drive closer to beach access. WEBB PARK PARKING LOT All three options would have a new Inn Road connection as well as a new Circle Drive intersection. Option 1 would use Webb Road for access, Option 2, an extended Webb Road, and in Option 3, a backer road would be created for access. Of note is the fact that the concepts here have evolved as the county and its project designers have received community feedback. McMurtrey later told the Sun that “neighbors provided lots of feedback about their experience with the existing campground and concerns with relocating camping activities relative to potential traffic, noise, air quality and trespassing impacts.” He said that as a result, the county has adjusted the design but also communicated an intent to expand the campground in the future. “The future expansion plans are unknown at this time, however it’s an important goal of the project to provide equitable experiences,” he said. “The County considers this campground one of the few remaining affordable lodging options to

realize that goal.” NVCA LOT In the current first proposed option, this park would maintain the current location of a vehicle turnaround and a smaller covered sport court area would be installed. In the second possible option, the vehicle turnaround would be relocated to provide additional usable park space, but parking spots would be reduced. A larger covered sport court would be provided in this scenario. JENSEN PROPERTY The first option suggests improving the intersection by developing a roundabout that would be designed to be used by RVs and dory boat trailers. It would include an estimated 120 parking spots, a play area,
and would provide a potential location for the Dory Heritage Museum and Dory Plaza. Options 2 and 3 would both have an intersection improvement that would realign Cape Kiwanda Drive and Sunset Drive, host about 70 parking spots, and include a play area, group picnic shelter and art plaza. They would differ in that Option 2 would include an amphitheater and large play area while Option 3 would host a covered sport court. MULTI-USE PATH Two options were presented for the multi-use path — a straight alignment that wouldn’t affect Cape Kiwanda Drive or power poles and a meandering path that would necessitate the realignment of Cape Kiwanda Drive and the moving of power poles. For those that have yet to provide their thoughts, it’s not too late. Comments can be made through April 25 by visiting tillamookcoast.com/southcounty/kiwandacorridor, emailing kiwanda@tillamookcoast. com, or calling the project hotline at 503303-8383. NEXT STEPS Once the initial round of community feedback is in the books, officials plan to have conversations with the county and design team before returning to the community to present a preferred alternative for each of the five areas. Approval by Tillamook County Commissioners would be next, followed by allocation of funds, engineering drawings and construction.

LCDC appoints Brenda Ortigoza Bateman as agency director At their April 1 meeting, the Land Conservation and Development Commission appointed Dr. Brenda Ortizoga Bateman to serve as the next director for the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). DLCD’s Directors are appointed by the Commission. Bateman will begin on May 2. Bateman replaces Jim Rue, who has served as DLCD’s longesttenured director for 11 years. Following the appointment, LCDC Commission Chair Robin McArthur shared, “Commissioners take the responsibility of selecting new leadership for DLCD very seriously. The director position is one that requires not only the ability to lead and inspire staff, but the capacity to advance the agency on land use issues that matter to everyday Oregonians. From clean energy development, to managing our coast, taking on issues of housing supply, and preserving our natural resources; clear guidance and strong direction is imperative to DLCD’s success in these areas. While we were fortunate to have had a number of qualified candidates, which made the decision difficult, we are enthusiastic about our support of Dr. Bateman. I am confident the agency will thrive under her direction.” Chair McArthur commended Rue’s legacy. “I want to express the commission’s deep gratitude to Director Rue,” he said. “Under his leadership, the department built on the strong planning framework of Oregon’s land use program to focus on implementing outcomes that resonate with PACIFICCITYSUN.COM • April 22, 2022
all Oregonians including increasing housing and transportation choices, promoting equitable and climate-friendly communities, and protecting working lands for farming and agricultural production. He has served Oregon well.” “The work I have been able to accomplish at DLCD over the last several years has been the honor of a lifetime,” Rue said. “We have centered the agency in the important work of housing supply, climate action, equity and creating more sustainable communities.” Bateman comes to DLCD from Business Oregon, where she is the Chief Operating Officer / Assistant Director for Operations. During her 30-year career, she has served in strategic planning, implementation, and management roles, with a focus on natural resources policy. She serves on the Governor’s Climate Cabinet and is a Governor-appointee to the Oregon Geographic Information Council (OGIC). Previously, she served as Science Chief and Senior Policy Advisor at the Oregon Water Resources Department, co-authoring the 2012 and 2017 versions of Oregon’s Integrated Water Resources Strategy. As past president of the American Water Resources Association, she represents the association internationally in venues such as the World Water Forum and World Water Congress. She has a doctorate in public policy from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and master’s and bachelor’s degrees from The Johns Hopkins University.
