n what was perhaps the most competitive World Beer Cup ever, the talented brewers at Pelican Brewery once again showed why they are still the “cream” of the crop.

Competing in a field that, when accounting for all categories, topped 10,500 entrants, Kiwanda Cream Ale returned to the top spot on the medal stand in the Golden or Blonde Ale category, a position it’s quite familiar with. It is the fourth time that the popular — and long-standing — beer has earned top honors at the World Beer Cup competition.

Previous medal stand accolades are in 2004 (gold), in 2006 (silver), in 2008 (gold), and in 2014 (gold).

Through this year, the World Beer Cup has met every other year, meaning that for three competitions in a row (2004-08), Pelican took bows for Kiwanda Cream Photo courtesy of World Beer Cup Ale.

THE ADDITION to the Kiawanda Community Center was funded by a TLT tourism facilities grant.

how tlt is collected and used

By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook County Visitors Association At the April 16 Kiwanda Corridor Project open house, I was asked why the transient lodging tax (TLT) could not be used for road repairs.

There is confusion about how TLT is used; hopefully this article will offer clarification.

INCORPORATED AREAS AND LODGING TAX Lodging tax has been in place in most of the county’s incorporated cities for several decades. It ranged from four to six percent and the tax went into the city’s general budget.

In 2003, the state legislature passed an Oregon Revised Statue (ORS 320.005 to 320.150) that any new or additional lodging tax would be subject to a 70/30 split.

This meant that 30% of the new or additional lodging tax could be used any way the municipality wanted – and most used it for general budget.

The remaining 70% must be used for tourism promotion and/or tourismrelated facilities, defined as real property with a minimum life-span of 10 years.

Also in 2003, the state approved a 1% state-wide lodging tax (later increased to 1.5%) to fund Travel Oregon, which enabled them to promote visitation to Oregon.

COUNTY TLT IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY 2014 In November 2013, voters approved a county-wide lodging tax of 10% to begin January 1, 2014. In late 2013 after the election, most of the cities increased their lodging tax to 9% (that raise was subject to the 70/30 split).

As a result, cities have a lot of math to attend to – hang in there with me as it can be confusing. Cities retain the full amount that was in place prior to 2003; any increase in TLT after 2003 was subject to the 70/30 split, including the raise to 9%. The county collects the 1% difference between city and county TLT. And the state gets their 1.5%.

TLT collected in unincorporated areas (10%) is sent to the county and all of it is subject to the 70/30

split, with the additional 1.5% sent to the state. Throughout the county, lodging businesses can retain 5% of what they collect to cover costs of managing and reporting the tax.

HOW THE COUNTY USES THE TLT The TLT was important, as Tillamook County had the worst-rated roads in the state; it was necessary to find reliable, ongoing funding to manage repairs. From the beginning, the county has dedicated the entire 30% to county public works for road repair.

It was also important to the county to get as much of the 70% back into the community as quickly as possible. All during 2014, the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Economic Development Council (EDC) worked on a strategic tourism plan and developed a grant program for tourism-related facilities. The grant went live in early 2015. Since then, nearly $4 million in facilities grants has been awarded throughout the county, with more than 33% of the funds going to south county.

The county also used TLT to purchase the Jensen property in Pacific City, fund tsunami signage, county fairgrounds improvements, peak season needs (portable toilets, dumpsters, signage), Pacific City/ Woods Parking Management Plan, Cape Kiwanda Master Plan, Kiwanda Corridor Project, and other community-based projects.

The TAC and EDC also developed a grant program to help tourism businesses and nonprofits with marketing projects. Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) has awarded nearly $1 million in grants since 2015. TCVA also funds event sponsorships, wayfinding and tsunami signage, community projects, coordinates outdoor recreation (including kayak launchers and beach wheelchairs), food, cultural heritage and art trails – and many other projects that benefit local businesses and nonprofits.

Please note: lodging tax is paid by overnight visitors, who invest their vacation dollars in our county. If you have questions, contact nan@ tillamookcoast.com TLT reports are at tillamookcoast.com/industry.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS — AND VISITORS, TOO — have the chance to take home a 6- by 6-foot, patriotic-themed quilt crafted by Teresa Smith and Sandy Mobley. The quilt sale is a fundraiser for the Nesko Women’s Club, who will use the funds to pay for philantropic efforts in the South Tillamook County area. Raffle tickets are $5 and are available at the Pacific City branch of Oregon Coast Bank, where the quilt is currently on display. Tickets will also be able to be purchased at the Nesko Women’s Book and Bake Sale, which is scheduled for July 4 at Neskowin Wayside. The drawing will be held during this event.

ODFW researching shellfish in Tillamook Bay Residents and visitors to Tillamook Bay will see ODFW biologists on the sand and in the bay through October conducting new surveys of bay clams and estuary habitat.

The biologists are with ODFW’s SEACOR (Shellfish and Estuarine Assessment of Coastal Oregon) program. SEACOR periodically surveys bay clam populations and estuary habitat in all of Oregon’s major coastal bays. This year, the new work is focused on Tillamook Bay. Surveys gather information on where recreationally important species (butter, cockle, gaper, and littleneck clams) are located, abundance, and preferred habitat type for each species. Surveys also describe other shellfish in the Photo courtesy of ODFW estuaries, including purple varnish RESEARCHERS take sediment samples in a quadrat clams and juvenile Dungeness on Middle Flat in Tillamook Bay as part of a shellfish crabs. survey.

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.

The more than $2.7 million project, which received funding from more than 15 sources, addressed approximately 1,000 feet of road and involved removing a tide gate and failing culverts and adding two bridges, a large box culvert and completing improvements to the Neskowin Wayside.

Don’t kidnap young wildlife: leave wildlife wild Young wildlife are rarely orphaned, so leave them where you find them, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife is reminding the public. They say the advice you are likely to hear if you bring a young wild animal home is “put it back,” and you might get a warning or citation from Oregon State Police, too.

Because of the damage it can do to both wildlife and people, removing an animal from the wild is illegal under Oregon wildlife laws. (ORS 497.308 – No person shall remove from its natural habitat or acquire and hold in captivity any live wildlife in violation of the wildlife laws.)

Every year around this time, ODFW offices, licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and even Oregon State Police are flooded with calls from people who picked up a deer fawn, elk calf, fledgling bird learning to fly, or other young animal they assumed was orphaned because it was alone.

When removed from the wild, the animal misses the chance to learn where to seek cover, what to eat and how to escape from predators and other dangers.

THE RIGHT WAY TO HELP Keep pets and other domestic animals away to help wildlife this time of year. Pets will stress wildlife, especially if there are young wildlife or fledgling birds in your yard. Keep dogs on a leash when recreating outside.

Those that are certain an animal is orphaned because they saw its parent die, or they see an animal that is injured, should call ODFW, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, or OSP for advice.

DEER AND ELK Oregon’s deer and elk give birth from May through July. It’s natural for mother animals to leave their young alone and hidden for extended periods of time while they go off to feed, so never assume a young animal is orphaned when you see it alone.

The mother will return when it’s safe to do

so — when people, pets or predators aren’t around. Deer and elk see dogs as a threat to their young so may act aggressively in response to disturbance from a dog.

MARINE MAMMALS The advice to leave animals in the wild applies to all wildlife — including adult and young marine mammals that are commonly seen alone resting on rocks or the beach in spring and summer. Beachgoers should stay away from resting seals and sea lions and keep dogs away from these animals as well. Marine mammal strandings should be reported to OSP’s hotline at 1-800-4527888.

BIRDS Some baby birds, called fledglings, may become separated from their parents as they learn to fly. These are sometimes mistaken as abandoned birds. Unless obviously injured, fledglings should be left where they are or lifted carefully back into the nest or onto a branch to avoid predators, so they have the best chance at survival.

Ducklings and goslings frequently become separated from their mothers due to disturbance from humans or predators. If you spot young waterfowl without a mother, please leave them alone and leave the area so the mother can return.

With the recent detections of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Oregon, ODFW officials say it is more important than ever to avoid close contact with waterfowl (ducks and geese) this spring and summer. They should not be fed, they say. Feeding congregates susceptible birds and enables the disease to spread between birds more easily. Also, the public should note that Oregon’s wildlife rehabilitators are not currently accepting sick ducks and geese to protect other avian patients and education birds in their care.

NEARLY 800 Reach the Beach riders made the trek from one of four starting points in the Willamette Valley — at distances ranging from 25 to 100 miles — and finished at Cape Kiwanda as the fundraiser returned to regular after two years.

AFTER FINISHING, riders were treated with a meal (at left) and provided a chance to securely park their expensive rides in a bike corral staffed by volunteers from the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Nestucca Valley Lions Club.

that loss would be to get volunteers willing to cheer riders up the hill as they approach the finish line. Dillon also noted that as the event regroups and discusses ways to improve, ALAO will continue to be interested in feedback from the community.

“We welcome any comment from anybody as to how the new route worked,” he said.

But the biggest hill for the riders to climb this year was the weather.

“It was a real challenge,” Dillon said.

‘It was pouring rain for the start of the

100-mile ride, which is always our biggest in terms of the amount of people that sign up. There was also some wind in the middle area between Amity and Sheridan, which was coming at riders full on. People who weren’t seasoned riders found that challenging.”

A Fresh Take on Your Saturday Neskowin Farmers Market returns May 21 with farmfresh produce, live music, and a sense of community

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

F

or a fresh take on your Saturdays this summer, a trip to Neskowin might just be the way to not only grab some farm-fresh produce but a chance to reconnect with the community, too. The Neskowin Farmers Market returns for a season-long slate of tastes from the garden, sounds from local musicians and crafts from area artisans on Saturday, May 21 on the east side of Highway 101, just across from the Neskowin Wayside.

The market, which will run on Saturdays through Oct. 1 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., will boast an eclectic range of locally grown vegetables, berries and fruit, as well as wood-fired pizza, pasta, sandwiches, fresh fish, canned tuna, baked goods, and artisan cheese. Attendees will also be able to take home locally roasted coffee, wild mushrooms, wine and beer, jams and preserves, and Oregon hazelnuts and sea salt. Handmade crafts and photography and vegetable starts will also be available.

The market will also feature live music on each Saturday, starting on May 28 when Dylan Crawford takes the stage.

“The market is a place to gather a weeks’s worth of groceries and connect with local growers and crafters in the community and also to connect with fellow community members,” said Sylvia Friday, director of the market. “(It’s) a reflection of our community in both food and craft. This year, we’re going to have some dorymen from Pacific City providing fish for us.

We’re really excited about that.”

And its return to the site on the east side of the highway where they first held the market last year has her excited as well.

“I think the location is really wonderful,” Friday told the Sun. “It has a more natural

TILLAMOOK COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE will collaborate with a nationwide effort to enforce the seatbelt requirement for motorists, starting on May 23.

Click It or Ticket campaign starts May 23 Tillamook Co. Sheriff’s Office to participate in nationwide Border to Border enforcement effort during one day, four hour awareness event on May 23

D

uring this year’s national Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign, May 23-June 5, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office will team up with law enforcement nationwide for a Border to Border kickoff event. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is asking all states to participate in B2B, a one-day, four-hour national seat belt awareness event on May 23, which is coordinated by participating state highway safety offices and their respective law enforcement liaisons.

The B2B initiative aims to increase law enforcement participation by coordinating highly visible seat belt enforcement for drivers at state border checkpoints.

According to NHTSA, in 2020, there were 10,893 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the United States. In that same year, 58% of passenger vehicle occupants

killed at night (6 p.m.–5:59 a.m.) were not wearing their seat belts. That’s why one focus of the Click It or Ticket campaign and the B2B kickoff event is nighttime enforcement. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations both day and night. In Oregon, the maximum penalty for a seat belt violation is $210.

“The Border to Border component of the Click It or Ticket campaign is important because it raises awareness about seat belt safety during a time when seat belt use is decreased,” said Matt Kelly, undersheriff for the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office. “With an increased number of cars flooding the roads due to the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, it’s imperative we get the word out about the importance of seat belt safety.”

Almost twice as many males were killed in crashes as compared to females,

with lower belt use rates, too. Of the male vehicle occupants killed in crashes in 2020, more than half (55%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 43% were not buckled up.

“We aren’t handing out tickets for the thrill of it,” said Sheriff Josh Brown.

“If enforcement wakes people up to the dangers of unrestrained driving, we’ll consider our mission to be a success.”

Officials say that those with a friend or a family member who does not buckle up when they drive, should consider asking them to consider changing their habits.

They say they’d like to see this lifesaving message shared before one more friend or family member is killed as a result of this senseless inaction. The message is that seat belts save lives, and everyone — front seat and back, child and adult — should remember to buckle up.

A FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE for key tourist attractions in Pacific City will resume May 27 and run through Sept. 5.

Hop Aboard Summer shuttle service to return to Pacific City with free service from Bob Straub State Park to Whalen Island

Also new this year is the addition of a trolley transportation option, which will split time ferrying passengers with the more traditional buses.

“Trolleys stand out more, and they’re more fun than a regular bus,” Pilant said. “What we’re trying to do is create a better experience for the visitors and residents who want to use the service.

We’re going to be running the trolley for as many hours as we can.”

And, with Oregon Department of Transportation’s recent announcement that they have awarded a grant to TCTD

ho said there’s no such thing as a free ride? When tourists descend on the popular Cape Kiwanda area this summer, they’ll once again be able to take advantage of Tillamook Transportation District’s free shuttle service, a weekend program designed to help move the high volume of visitors traveling to the Pacific CityWoods area.

The program begins May 27 and runs through Sept. 5 and will take passengers from as far south as Bob Straub State Park and as far north as Whalen Island County Park. The shuttle, which runs hourly in the morning and late afternoon and evening hours, starts service at 9 a.m. each day. It also features stops at many of the popular places in and around Pacific City — including Kiawanda Community Center, the Pelican Pub, and Sitka Sedge State Natural Area.
