The Importance of
Preparation
South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corp seeks to train more Community Emergency Response Team members Kiwanda Corridor Project to hold Sept. 21 ‘introductory’ meeting An introductory virtual meeting on the Kiwanda Corridor Project, which is seeking to add improvements to the area between Bob Straub State Park and Cape Kiwanda, will be held Sept. 21, starting at noon. Meeting log-in information is available at tillamookcoast. com/southcounty/kiwanda-corridor. The Kiwanda Corridor Project is seeking to implement numerous strategies from the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan that was approved in 2016 and the Pacific City Management Plan, which was ratified in 2019. Included in those
strategies are: restructuring and improving the Cape Kiwanda parking lot — including replacing the restrooms and upgrading the garbage and recycling facilities; constructing the Cape Kiwanda Drive Multi-Use Path, a path that is planned to run from the Cape Kiwanda parking lot to Bob Straub State Park; relocating Webb Park — an effort that is planned to include access improvements to Circle Drive; improving parking shuttle services; developing the Jensen property, an oceanfront parcel that the county recently

acquired for $2.875 million that will also include access improvements to Pacific and Sunset Avenues; and completing development of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance property. The introductory meeting will just be the beginning of the outreach effort. Other efforts planned for down the line are a homeowner’s associations and dory fleet outreach effort, a community survey that will elicit responses from both the community and from area businesses, and a virtual open house.
NVSD to begin school year with distance learning model Nestucca Valley School District Superintendent Misty Wharton, in a Sept. 2 letter to parents, announced that, because of the high COVID-19 test positivity rate Tillamook County is experiencing, the school would start its 2021-22 year in the Comprehensive Distance Learning model rather than with in-person instruction. At the time of the letter, the county had 385 confirmed COVID cases, and a 22 percent test positivity rate in the most recent two-week period. In the letter, Wharton wrote that the “Delta variant is a different beast than we encountered last year. Children are more often becoming infected, and vaccines are only available for children 12 years and older. In order for NVSD to feel we can safely offer in-person instruction again, it will require our entire community to take action. We must lessen the community spread to get our kids back into our buildings.” And in a Sept. 7 forum on the challenges of COVID and the Delta variant hosted by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, she elaborated on her concerns and the school’s new plan. “I want to take a really measured and calculated approach about how we’re going to welcome kids back into their physical space versus bringing them all into their physical space and wait for a health emergency to occur and then everyone’s left to react to it,” she told the group. “I think it’s important that … we understand that this CDL is not like the CDL of last year. We’ve learned so much over the course of this 20 months, and Delta changed all that learning on us. We have all of this information from other states that’s provided to us via the media of what schools have been doing with the Delta variant, but what does that look like in an Oregon school setting with Oregon protocols? That’s what Nestucca Valley is waiting to see — especially when we’re at over 20 percent positivity rate in our county. And we need our vaccinations to go up and we need community spread to be less — pure and simple. Those are the two variables.” Tillamook County has received a bit of good information on the test positivity front since Wharton’s letter went out. In a Sept. 8 update to the Tillamook County Board of County Commissioners, Ed Colson, of the Tillamook County Health Department said that, in the week from Aug. 29-Sept 4, the test posivity rate had gone down to 16.6 percent, a 7.3 percent drop from the previous week. In Wharton’s letter she communicated that the school will look at the data points, consult with Tillamook County Health Department and consider a change every two weeks. ATHLETICS One thing that hasn’t been called off is the district’s athletic program. At the Chamber meeting, Wharton said she understood criticism about sports continuing when in-person academic instruction isn’t. “I have mixed feelings about it because some people perceive (we’re) sending a message that athletics is more important than academic,” she said. “Well, we kind of are, but also it’s something that (was) already started with the kids. We’re not going to jerk it away from them until there is an instance that we have to.” The district’s current mitigation strategy for athletic competitions is to allow only two spectators per athlete outdoors, and to live stream the competitions for all others. Wharton also said the district has been forward thinking in their early response. “As a school district, I saw early on in August that we were heading this way,” she said. “We started to do all meetings virtually. We didn’t have an in-person welcome back day with our staff. We’re sticking to our little germ pod so we can try to get the doors open as soon as possible.”

Surf contest canceled due to pandemic With the Delta variant of COVID-19 driving high infection rates, Tillamook County Commissioners made the decision on Aug. 25 not to grant a permit for the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic, which had planned its annual competition for Sept. 18-19. Co-organizer Lisa Macy-Baker said that while they are disappointed they cannot hold the event and regret they will lose out on its planned fundraising for the Pacific City Skatepark, they understand the Board of Commissioner’s reasoning. “I think that from their perspective, any event that brings more people is not good (during this time of Photo by Tim Hirsch increased COVID THE CAPE KIWANDA infections),” MacyLONGBOARD CLASSIC Baker told the Sun. will not have a contest She also lamented in 2021 but is hosting an the fact that because auction. the event was “essentially planned,” there was already significant money put into the event.

So you have your “go” bag but what else can you do to be prepared when disaster strikes? Community Emergency Response Team training is billed as one way to not only learn skills for yourself, but also your family and neighbors. South Tillamook County residents interested in CERT training can learn a series of skills for no cost as a series of free CERT Basic Training classes will begin Wednesday, Oct. 6. Sponsored by the South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corp, the classes, which feature seven classes on Wednesdays (four via Zoom) plus a Saturday morning drill event, will, in total, feature 10 hours of online training, four hours of Zoom meetings, three hours of in-person skill sessions and four hours of disaster drill training. STCEVC President Marge Jozsa, together with Dan Sheridan, are certified trainers who will lead the classes. The training includes the following: Unit 1 - Disaster Preparedness (Oct. 6, 5-6 p.m. via Zoom); Unit 2 - CERT Organization (Oct. 13, 5-6 p.m. via Zoom); Units 3 and 4 - Disaster Medical Operations (Oct. 20, 5-6:30 p.m., held in-person at Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s Neskowin Fire Station 84); Units 5 and 8 - Disaster Psychology, Terrorism (Oct.
27, 5-6 p.m. via Zoom); Unit 6 - Fire Safety and Utility Control (Nov. 3, 5-6 p.m. via Zoom); Unit 7 - Light Search & Rescue (Nov. 10, 5-6:30 p.m., held in-person at NRFPD’s Neskowin Fire Station 84); and an in-person drill that will feature an outside search and rescue plus an inside search and rescue with a medical response (Saturday, Nov. 13, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., held at NRFPD’s Neskowin Fire Station 84). At the end of the drill, participants will receive a CERT bag with supplies. In-person classes are subject to change should COVID restrictions make meeting in person not possible. Individuals that want to be an “Active CERT,” will need to complete an application for the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, complete some FEMA online courses, and attend monthly CERT meetings/skill sessions. Josza said that even if those taking the class don’t become “active” CERT members, they still will be valuable to their community as they now would have important skills to help their friends and neighbors in the event of a disaster. Attendees are being asked to pre-register by sending an email to margejozsa@gmail. com and indicating their interest in the CERT classes.

The Port of Tillamook Bay Board of Commissioners welcomed two new faces this summer, including one commissioner who has served on the board before. Bill Baertlein and Kevin Stoecker started their terms on July 1. The men replace Chris Sween and Jim Young. “I want to thank Chris and Jim for their service. Chris joined the board in 2020 to fill a vacancy, and his ability to learn quickly and think critically served the port well in the last year. Jim leaves the commission after 12 years, and his institutional knowledge proved invaluable,” said Michele Bradley, port general manager. “Though we will miss Chris and Jim both, I am confident our new commissioners can pick up where they left off.” Baertlein, 70, was elected to a four-year term on the port commission. He previously served as a port commissioner from 2010 through 2013. He returns to the port commission after a short hiatus, during which he served as a Tillamook County Commissioner. Baertlein said he sought another term on the port commission because he enjoys envisioning economic development projects that can benefit the community. “The port is an exciting place. A lot of really cool things have been happening out there with the Near Space Center, timber industry and all of the rental units,” Baertlein said. “That’s why it’s

so much fun: You’re juggling so many different things out there.” Stoecker, 63, won a partial, two-year term on the port commission to complete the open Position 3 term that expires in 2023. Stoecker brings more than two decades of experience with governmental budgeting gained during his long career with the City of Portland parks division. He said he wanted to join the port commission to keep his mind sharp in retirement and to put his budgeting and other management skills to good use for benefit of the local community. “I really like that as port commissioner, I have the ability to make changes where it can make a real impact for the public and for taxpayers. It’s important for me to be able to do that,” Stoecker said. “My goal is to have transparency. I’d also like to see the port open up more recreation opportunities.” Port commissioners are elected to the board by the vote of the people. The five-member board of commissioners is responsible for setting port policy and budgets at the port, which serves as the core of the region’s industrial economy. The Port of Tillamook Bay covers approximately 1,600 acres, including a 200-acre industrial park, the Tillamook Municipal Airport, the Tillamook Air Museum and the 85-plus miles of railroad right of way ending in Banks.

Ocean hypoxia off the coast more troubling than ever, experts say By STEVE LUNDEBERG Oregon State University Rather than ocean oxygen levels improving as they usually do this time of year, hypoxia off the Pacific Northwest coast is as bad as it’s been at any point in 2021, according to collaborative research by Oregon State University, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and Oregon’s crabbing industry. The Northwest for two decades has had a “hypoxia season” that begins in mid-summer, said OSU marine ecologist Francis Chan, and climate change is making those low-oxygen seasons worse. When oxygen levels drop significantly, many marine organisms that are place-bound or cannot relocate quickly enough, such as Dungeness crabs, die of oxygen starvation. “Back in April, we predicted it would be a bad hypoxia year because of the weather, and it’s turned out to be a really bad year,” Chan said. “Oxygen levels got very low, very early, and the worst is not over. On Aug. 31, it was as close to zero as we’d seen this year. Now we’re in September, at a time when we thought oxygen would have been rising for a while, and it’s just this endless summer, but in a bad way.” While Chan was at sea making measurements off the central Oregon coast in late August, oceanographer Jack Barth from OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences and co-principal investigator with Chan in the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans, was off the central Washington coast tracking subsurface dissolved oxygen with an autonomous underwater glider. These glider measurements, with observations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, show that very low oxygen levels also extend into Washington waters. Hypoxia occurs because summertime north winds bring nutrient-rich but oxygen-poor ocean waters to shores — factors that are exacerbated by climate change, said Chan, who directs the Cooperative Institute for Marine Ecosystem and Resources Studies. The institute is led by OSU and funded by NOAA. This year, these summertime north winds

arrived earlier than at any time in 35 years and are still going strong, said Barth. Early and strong north winds supercharge the upwelling of low-oxygen waters and nutrients from depths that fuel an exceptionally productive food web. But it becomes too much of good thing because as those organisms die and sink, they remove oxygen from the water, making the problem worse, said Barth. On top of that, deep waters that are brought to shore are holding less and less oxygen because of climate change. This spring a NOAA-sponsored scientific cruise detected a huge hypoxic area only 6 miles offshore from Oregon and Washington. By midsummer the growing low-oxygen area was approaching 8,000 square miles, leaving scientists and fisherman worried it would become a massive dead zone. Exacerbating the effects of hypoxia is ocean acidification, which is being driven by rising levels of atmospheric carbon resulting from the burning of fossil fuels.
Commercial fishermen have long been key to the study of hypoxia, said Chan, whose research was prompted years ago by one of them calling to tell him of dead crabs. Since then, scientists led by Chan have teamed with Dungeness fishermen, using a sensor he developed that’s deployed within crab pots. The data the sensors gather aid the study of the evolving ocean and also help crabbers learn where hypoxia might be hindering their efforts. Oregon’s Dungeness fleet produces an average annual catch of 16.7 million pounds, according to the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission. This year’s catch was just over 12 million pounds; however, the industry is naturally variable, ranging in recent years from 3 million pounds to 33 million. “But how are these hypoxia seasons going to be affecting the next two, three or four years?” said Tim Novotny, assistant administrator and communications manager for the commission. “How many females, who we do not harvest, are not making it through these zones?”

ODFW makes changes to Pacific halibut sport fishery ODFW announced changes on Sept. 7 to two subareas of the summer all-depth Pacific halibut sport fishery. Beginning Sept. 13, angling opens seven days per week in the subarea from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain with a daily bag limit of two Pacific halibut. The annual limit remains six fish. Since recreational bottomfish fishing is also open to all-depth beginning in September, anglers may retain both bottomfish and halibut on the same trip. The nearshore fishery quota will be absorbed into the summer all-depth fishery. Beginning Sept. 13, anglers may retain two fish per day on the subarea from Humbug Mountain to the California border; annual limit remains six fish. Season open dates remain unchanged (open daily through Oct. 31 or until quota met). Lynn Mattes, recreational groundfish and Halibut project leader explained the changes.
“Much of the harvest quota for these two subareas hasn’t been met,” she said. “We attribute that to spring weather that hampered fishing effort and landing, and a really good marked coho salmon season that drew anglers’ attention. We’re hoping anglers take advantage of the opportunity for more halibut fishing.” For a map of the subareas, visit https:// www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/finfish/halibut/ seasonmaps/2021_hbt_map.pdf. Anglers catching Pacific halibut must have a descending device onboard the vessel and use it to release any rockfish species when fishing 30 fathoms or deeper. Anglers on vessels possessing Pacific halibut or bottomfish are prohibited from fishing in the Stonewall Bank YRCA even when targeting legal species (salmon and tuna).

Dorothy Shaffer Godett, daughter of Josephine Feiner Shaffer and Louis Shaffer, died on August 26 in Chattanooga, Tenn. Born in Chicago on September 27, 1928, Dorothy moved to Kew Gardens, N.Y. when she was in eighth grade. She attended Queens College, where she majored in sociology. She earned a master’s degree in education from New York University. While earning her master’s, she taught elementary school in Greenwich Village. When she married Norman Ellenberg in 1952, she moved to Long Island, N.Y. and taught kindergarten and first grade. The couple had two daughters, Amy and Rachel, before divorcing in 1959. In 1965, Dorothy married Harold Godett. In 1969, the family moved to Overland Park,
Kan., where Dorothy sold jewelry in a department store and later sold advertising specialties. Dorothy moved to Pacific City in 1990, where she ran the Library Thrift Store for six years and served on the library board. Dorothy was a whiz with words. She loved solving crossword puzzles, mastering games of all kinds, spinning puns, and beating everyone at “Wheel of Fortune” into her 90s. Since 2014, Dorothy lived in Chattanooga with her younger daughter, Rachel Schulson (Henry). Her older daughter, Amy Thurman, lives in Kansas City, Mo. In addition to her daughters, Dorothy is survived by five grandchildren, Niccole Thurman, Monica Thurman, Adrienne Cuff (Dalen), Michael Schulson (Emma Green), and Leah Schulson; and four great-grandchildren, EJ, Levin, Lyra, and Jethro. Donations can be made in Dorothy’s honor to support the Pacific City library.

AFTER A SUMMER’S WORTH OF COLLECTING FEES, Tillamook County’s pay-to-park program at Cape Kiwanda and the Pacific City Turnaround (west end of Pacific Avenue), has collected $276,150 (as of Sept. 3) via the sale of 27,615 $10 day-use passes. The effort received a boost on Aug. 24 when the second of Cape Kiwanda’s fee machines went into operation. Purchased at a cost of $12,439, the second kiosk sits just north of Pelican Brewing’s oceanfront Pacific City location. It was installed in a kiosk at an additional cost of $5,589. In the new pay station’s first 14 days of operation, 1,532 day-use passes were sold via the new unit.

ocean conditions at that time,” said Chris Kern, ODFW fish division deputy administrator. “Unfortunately, that is exactly what we observed.” Ocean conditions affecting these populations have since improved. Anglers also encountered substantial numbers of wild coho in the summer recreational fishery off the Oregon coast. Conservative harvest opportunities will be allowed within the Tillamook, Nestucca, Siletz, and Coos river basins. Basin-specific seasons, quotas, bag limits and other regulations can be found on the MyODFW website at https:// myodfw.com/recreation-report/fishing-report/ northwest-zone and https://myodfw.com/ recreation-report/fishing-report/southwest-zone . Wild coho seasons in Siltcoos, Tahkenitch, and Tenmile lakes open Oct. 1 under permanent regulations.
It’s Worth Stopping For!
Original Abstracts & Curios ~ Events
Limited coastal wild coho seasons set to open Sept. 15 Wild coho seasons in four coastal river basins including the Nestucca will be open beginning Sept. 15. The season, which also will include the Tillamook, Siletz, and Coos Rivers, will be open through mid-October. This will be the first opportunity in five years for wild coho retention in coastal rivers. Retention has been closed from 2016-2020 in response to effects of poor ocean conditions reducing abundance of coastal coho populations. While wild coho abundance is projected to be higher than the last few years, it is still less than the high returns seen from 2008-2014. So, managers are proceeding cautiously with reinitiating these fisheries. “When we announced wild coho fisheries in 2015, we asked anglers to be prepared for smaller returns and reduced opportunity in upcoming years, based on observations of poor
