South Tillamook County lost a pillar in the community with the passing of Dorymen’s Association co-chair Craig Wenrick Volunteers spruce up Cape Kiwanda during Beach & Riverside Cleanup river rafting equipment. Along the coast, the Heart of Cartm, a recycling and reuse organization, stepped up as a new SOLVE beach captain in Nehalem Bay. More than 400 pounds of litter and marine debris were collected from their project site. Jessi Just, the executive director of Heart of Cartm, then sorted through the collected items, looking for things that are on her organization’s “wish list.” These items will find new life in upcoming repair workshops and art classes. The nonprofit Washed Ashore also helped divert other collected items from the waste stream from three beach cleanups. As they have done for several years, members of the Washed Ashore Team drove along Oregon’s southern coast, collecting items that can be reused in their nationally recognized art sculptures. The Beach & Riverside Cleanup, a partnership with the Oregon Lottery, spanned three weekends, but most volunteer projects occurred on Sept. 25.

It was all hands on deck as Oregonians gathered around the state — including here in South Tillamook County — to do their part to clean up litter during SOLVE’s 38th annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, Sept. 18-Oct. 3. All told, volunteers gathered at more than 100 projects across the state to demonstrate their commitment to keeping Oregon’s waterways clean. Locally, this included numerous helpers rolling up their sleeves to participate in the Pacific City Beach Cleanup on Sept. 25 where they worked on cleaning up the beach at Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area. And, in Portland alone, more than 400 volunteers participated at various cleanup projects throughout the city. The project located in Portland’s Central Eastside saw more than 80 volunteers who removed 1,230 pounds of litter in just two hours. This cleanup targeted litter that if left uncollected would have a strong possibility of entering the nearby Willamette River. Among the items recovered were crab pots, couches, and

Since the event impetus, more than 2,000 volunteers have come together and collected 26,815 pounds of litter and marine debris from Oregon’s coast, rivers, waterways, and neighborhoods. For many Oregonians, there was an even greater drive to participate in a statewide cleanup and restoration event this year. Droughts have persisted in western states through the summer months, sounding the alarm on the importance of taking care of waterways as a precious natural resource. SOLVE says that by removing litter anywhere, volunteers prevent pollution everywhere. Each piece of garbage or debris that is not properly disposed of poses a risk to the surrounding environment, wildlife, and water quality. Litter is most easily transported by the wind into storm drains or waterways. From there, it can flow downstream, adding to the international marine debris crisis. SOLVE supports volunteer projects year-round. To view upcoming volunteer opportunities, visit solveoregon.org.
The Oregon Legislature approved two measures on Sept. 27 to redraw the boundaries of Oregon’s congressional and legislative districts. The passage of Senate Bill 881 and 882 will mean that the boundaries in Tillamook County will change and that Rep. David Gomberg (D-Otis) and Sen. Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City) will no longer be assigned to the citizens of South Tillamook County as their area, as of January 2023, will end at the Lincoln-Tillamook County border. Gov. Kate Brown signed the redistricting bills later that same day. The district has been reshaped so that Rep. Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook) will, as of 2023, serve South Tillamook County. It will also mean the return of Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose). Once a decade, states must redraw electoral lines to account for population changes based on U.S. Census data. In Oregon, the population grew by 10.6 percent since the 2010 Census count. “I hate the idea of losing Rep. Gomberg and Sen. Anderson, but we’re in a good position because we have good relationships,” Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto told the Sun. “We have their phone numbers; they know who we are.” He also spoke to the value of Johnson once again serving South Tillamook County. “She’s (served) Tillamook County for a long time,” Yamamoto said. “She brings so much to the table. She’s an amazing asset (for the county to) have.” He also addressed the value Rep. Weber is expected to bring. “Rep. Weber is really starting to come into her own now,” Yamamoto said. “If you watched her floor speech on redistricting, she was spot on. She is gaining steam, and she will do the right things for South Tillamook County and all of Tillamook County. I feel we’re going to do really well as far as Tillamook County goes.” “Oregon’s 45th special session has ended,” said Senate President Peter Courtney (D-Salem). “The Legislature fulfilled its constitutional duty. We listened to Oregonians and passed new maps that are fair and accurate. It was a bumpy road from start to finish, but I think history will show we did a good job.” In a statement released on Sept. 27, Senate Republican Leader Fred Girod (R-Lyons) released the following statement: “The law requires us to keep communities of interest together in the redistricting process,” he said. “The only community of interest this map seeks to keep together are Democrat voters. In no world does it make sense for Bend and Portland to be in the same district. Spreading out urban voters by having four districts that include portions of Portland is the very definition of gerrymandering. “There will undoubtedly be court challenges to follow. The best the principles of fairness and honesty can hope for is impartiality.” “For the first time in 40 years, Oregon is gaining a congressional seat –– another delegation member to advocate for the common good of all Oregonians,” said Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. “After the past year and a half, during which Oregonians have faced unprecedented challenges that have urgently required federal attention and resources, I am particularly grateful that the Legislature has come together to pass today’s historic legislation. “My office reviewed the maps contained in the bills passed by the Legislature after they were proposed this weekend. Redistricting is a process that necessarily involves compromise, and I appreciate the Legislature working to balance the various interests of all Oregonians.” The Senate and House Committees on Redistricting held 22 public hearings over the past year, received over 1,300 pieces of written testimony, and heard virtually from 520 Oregonians. The maps responded to Oregonians’ feedback while strictly abiding by Oregon’s legal requirements to ensure fair representation in the United States Congress and the Oregon State Legislature. Senator Kathleen Taylor (D-Portland) was appointed by President Courtney to chair the Senate Committee on Redistricting. “There is no question that this was challenging, and the challenge was well worth it,” she said. “We learned about Oregonians’ lives, their communities and their greatest needs. These maps are informed by that information and Oregonians will be well-served by these maps.” Senate Bill 881 passed the Oregon Senate with an 18-6 vote and the Oregon House with a 33-16 vote. Senate Bill 882 passed the Senate on Monday, September 20 with an 18-11 vote and today in the House with a 31-18 vote. After the passage of these bills, the Legislature approved Senate Concurrent Resolution 31 which adjourned the First Special Session of 2021, sine die. Maps of the approved legislative and congressional districts can be found at oregonlegislature.gov/redistricting.

Community mourns loss of longtime Pacific City Dorymen’s Association Co-Chair Craig Wenrick By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
P
acific City and the greater South Tillamook County area lost one of the pillars of the community on Sept. 26 when longtime co-chair of the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association Craig Wenrick died unexpectedly from a dissecting aortic aneurysm. He was 66. The community is invited to a memorial service on Saturday, Oct. 9, starting at 2 p.m., at Nestucca Valley Elementary School to remember his life, the contributions he made and the lives he touched. “It’s a huge loss for not only the Doryman’s Association but all of Tillamook County,” Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto told the Sun. “He was a true gentleman. When Craig spoke, people listened because he had nothing but the best interest of the dorymen’s fleet and South Tillamook County.” Born on Oct. 22, 1954, to Clyde and Corinne Wenrick in Oregon City, Craig grew up in West Linn, graduating from West Linn High School in 1972. He began his career as a firefighter soon after with a 25-year stint as a firefighter/ paramedic for Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue beginning in 1979. He started family life by marrying his wife Susie on Sept. 19, 1986, and the couple had four children together. After vacationing here in the early years, Susie recalls the day, in 1991, they decided to make it their permanent home. “After we spent that first summer here, we were packing up to go home, and I was crying in the kitchen,” she said. “He said: ‘Why are you crying,’ and I said because I want to stay here on the coast. I don’t want to move back to the valley. And he was just over the top. He thought that’s just like the best news I’ve heard all day. So, we went home to the valley in Milwaukie, Oregon, and we finished a remodel on our house and sold our house and moved down here, and we’ve been here ever since.” The Wenricks started Sea Q Fish in 1994 at a time when, due to the coho fishery being eliminated, all the fish companies in town closed. During his three decades here, his other contributions included time as co-chair of the Fishermen’s Advisory Committee for Tillamook (FACT) as well as a member of the Salmon Commission. Fellow PCDA co-chair Ray Monroe, who has been the other half of the leadership since the passing of Paul Hanneman, credited Craig

He died unexpectedly on rights in Pacific City. Sept. 26. “He also was instrumental on where the boundaries were set for the marine reserve off Cascade Head — standing up for rights of fishermen, recreational and commercial,” Monroe added. “Craig was a great caring person.

Disaster Relief requested for commercial salmon industry At the recommendation of Oregon’s coastal legislators, Governor Brown issued a formal request on Oct. 4 to the U.S. Department of Commerce for federal disaster relief for Oregon’s commercial salmon industry. This request comes in response to diminished salmon landings for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons. The Coastal Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of Oregon’s coastal legislators, worked in conjunction with the Oregon Salmon Commission to pursue this request. In response to the Governor’s letter, Representative David Gomberg (D-Otis), the Coastal Caucus Chair stated, “Salmon landings in Oregon have fallen from $14 million in 2014 to $1.5 million in 2020. The salmon industry is reeling and the Oregon Salmon Commission asked coastal legislators for help. I’m pleased the Governor is lending her support to the hardworking men and women of our commercial salmon industry and our coastal economy.” In her letter to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Gov. Brown stated, “salmon are a vital component of Oregon’s natural resources and provide significant commercial, recreational, economic, and aesthetic benefits to the state. Salmon are also highly valued by Native American tribes for cultural,
subsistence, and economic benefits. While economic assistance will be essential to address the impacts of closures and restrictions on our salmon fisheries, it is vitally important that federal, state, tribal, and local governments continue to work together to recover and restore salmon populations and develop management strategies to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our salmon fisheries.” The 2020 fleet-wide salmon landings of approximately $1.5 million in value represents a historic low only surpassed by the results of the season closure in 2009. Salmon landings in both 2018 and 2019 sit at $2.4 million and $2.1 million respectively, far below the 2016 season, which was declared a disaster at a fleet-wide $4.3 million. The Oregon Legislative Coastal Caucus includes bipartisan representatives and senators from coastal districts from Astoria to Brookings. It is chaired by Representative David Gomberg (D-Otis), Vice-Chair Senator Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City), and includes Senators Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) and Dallas Heard (R-Roseburg) and Representatives Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook), Boomer Wright (R-Coos Bay), and David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford).

‘Travel Foundation’ to give keynote at People’s Coast Summit
Tillamook County women will have the chance to bolster their physical fitness beginning Oct. 18 when Strong Women Programs will bolster participating older women’s health through strength training. Through the county’s branch of the Oregon State University Extension Service, the programs, which run through Dec. 17, follow a program developed at Tufts University that is based upon research on how strength training improves the health of older adults. Research shows strength training improves bone density, reduces falls, improves arthritis symptoms, and increases flexibility and strength. Held at the OSU Extension Office in Tillamook, 4506 Third Street, participants can also take part virtually. In-person classes will be held at 9 a.m. or noon on Mondays and Fridays and online via the Zoom platform on Tuesdays and Fridays at noon. To participate in the Zoom Strong Women program, women must have a sturdy chair without arms available (such as a dining room chair). The Zoom link will be shared with those who register for this option. All participants (in person and virtual) will be provided with hand and leg weights and should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes. Registration is recommended one week prior to the program. When registering online, new participants will need to complete the required screening and enrollment forms and pay the $30 online
registration fee with a credit/debit card or bring their check or cash payment to the OSU Extension Office, 4506 Third Street, Tillamook. Those over age 70 or those with other chronic health conditions are required to obtain a release from their medical provider before beginning. All new participants attending sessions at the OSU Extension Office should participate in an orientation Oct. 15, 11-11:30 a.m. or schedule an appointment with the program coordinator, Nancy Kershaw, 503-8423433 prior to beginning the program. Zoom participants are encouraged to attend this orientation to learn the exercises and pick up their weights. For more information, visit https:// extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook or call OSU Extension in Tillamook County at 503842-3433. Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made by Oct. 15, 2021 to Nancy Kershaw at nancy.kershaw@ oregonstate.edu or 503-842-3433. The Oregon State University Extension Service shares research-based knowledge with people and communities in Oregon’s 36 counties. OSU Extension addresses issues that matter to urban and rural Oregonians. OSU Extension’s partnerships and programs contribute to a healthy, prosperous and sustainable future for Oregon.

“Service Even After The Sale”
“We are excited to have these thoughtprovoking conversations and actionoriented workshops in Coos Bay while also staying up to date with technology and hybrid meeting needs,” says Marcus Hinz, executive director of OCVA. “Our region spans over 363 miles of coastline so any opportunity to get stakeholders together (in person or online) is a great learning opportunity for our destination.” This year’s Summit has many measures in place to create a safe and responsible gathering. Organizers say the Summit will be an intimate tourism industry event with an expected attendance of under 75 people. Masks will be required inside at all times and social distancing is encouraged. For anyone that is unable to make it in person, OCVA is offering all general sessions and workshops as a hybrid option. Attendees can find options at: https://the-peoplescoast-summit.heysummit.com/checkout/ select-tickets/. This event is co-sponsored by the Coos Bay - North Bend Visitor & Convention Bureau, MEDIAmerica, Travel Southern Oregon Coast, Bandon Dunes and Travel Oregon.

The Travel Foundation which “aims to reduce the negative impacts of tourism and harness opportunities for local livelihoods and conservation” will give the keynote address at the annual People’s Coast Summit on Oct. 12 and 13th in Coos Bay — and online. The evening keynote will focus on tourism and the changing climate, which officials say has the potential to significantly impact travel and tourism in the coming years. However, there is a compelling perspective that the tourism sector also has a tremendous opportunity to be a catalyst for positive change. Organizers say that attendees are sure to leave this session inspired and thinking outside of the box. Additional general sessions and workshops at the People’s Coast Summit, which is being hosted by the Oregon Coast Visitors Association, include: “COVID proofing your business and workforce,” “Elevating your Business Profile in the Google Ecosystem,” “Catalyzing your Community through Arts and Culture” and several more.

Fire Defense Board, ODF lift burn restrictions The Tillamook County Fire Defense Board, in conjunction with the Oregon Department of Forestry, ended its summer burn ban and began allowing burning in burn barrels and open debris piles on Oct. 1. For members of the general public located within Tillamook County, burning permits are required. Residents that live within Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District should contact NRFPD at nrfpd. com or 503-392-3313. In the areas lying outside of city and rural districts in Tillamook County, the Oregon Department of Forestry issues burning permits during fire season.
ODF and the TCFDB is also reminding the public to practice safe burning all year. Amongst the practices they suggest following when burning are: keeping one person in attendance at all times; having a charged water hose and shovel nearby; refraining from burning during east winds; burning during daylight hours only; and ensuring fire is completely extinguished when done. For further information, officials urge residents to contact their local fire district, or the Oregon Department of Foresty at oregon.gov.odf.

Oregon approved to issue an additional $167 million in Pandemic EBT food assistance to 430,000 children The State of Oregon received approval from the federal government to expand the Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) program and provide an additional $167 million in food assistance to approximately 430,000 children in Oregon. Oregon was previously approved to provide approximately $424 million in food benefits to children in Oregon. Combined with the summer expansion of the program, Oregon will provide approximately $591 million in food assistance to children from July through October 2021. P-EBT provides food benefits to families whose children were eligible for free or reduced priced meals at school or daycare, but did not have access to these free meals because of COVID-19 closures. Children currently receiving P-EBT benefits for the 2020-2021 school year will automatically receive an additional $389 per child in food assistance that will be received as two payments in October. On Oct. 1, all P-EBT recipients received $129 in food benefits. Between Oct. 22 and Oct. 30,
recipients will receive an additional $260 in food benefits. Students who were eligible to receive P-EBT benefits for the 2020-2021 school year will receive additional P-EBT food assistance for the summer of 2021. There is no need to apply. Children age six or younger whose families participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program will receive P-EBT food assistance for the summer of 2021. There is no need to apply. There are two ways children receive benefits — if the child’s household currently participates in SNAP or TANF, their P-EBT benefits will be deposited into the household’s EBT account Children who already have a P-EBT card will continue to receive food assistance on their current card. Children new to the P-EBT program whose household does not participate in SNAP or TANF will receive a P-EBT card in the mail at the address on file with their school. Visit pebt.oregon.gov for more information about the P-EBT program.

Neskowin Valley School’s Harvest Festival draws large crowd in its first event since the pandemic By VICKY HIRSCH for the Sun
N
eskowin Valley School, after a year-long hiatus due to COVID-19, held its annual Harvest Festival on its school grounds on Saturday, Oct. 2. As opposed to previous years when portions of the festival were held inside the school, the entirety of the festival was held outdoors. The weather obliged and the day started out as a crisp fall day and became a warm afternoon, perfect for the attendees to enjoy the vendors, live music, and beer and wine garden. One person pleasantly surprised by the turnout was Emily Bailey, development director for NVS. Bailey, who is in her first year at the school, said she had heard from several of the vendors that they expected a lower turnout this year, but instead ended up with more than they had originally projected. Bailey said they expected 100-150, but the attendance was closer to 150-200. One of the paramount goals of the festival was to keep everyone safe, Bailey says. As part of that, masks were required unless a person was eating or drinking. “The general consensus in talking with people is everybody felt super safe, which we are very happy about,” she told the Sun. She listed her top three things at the Harvest Festival as the silent auction, the band The Elite Beat’s musical performance, and the kids craft tables, which had some beautiful creations. The silent auction brought in close to $7,000 with just over $6,000 worth of goods. “Everyone was really generous,” Bailey said. “There were a couple of good bidding wars going on.” The band The Elite Beat “just rocked it” according to Bailey. “Everyone was moving around and dancing,” she added. Final numbers were not available as of press time, but she said that the funds are expected to be in line with what was earned in many past years and even topping a few festivals.

CHILDREN enjoy the many activities at the Neskowin Valley School’s Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 2. Despite being the school’s first Harvest Festival since the pandemic started, early estimates indicate it raised funds that are on par with many past festivals.

A new feature of this year’s festival was a virtual component to the silent auction. Bailey said they learned what worked and what needs to be tweaked for next year. She added that what stood out for her is how many people showed up willing to help and were excited to be a part of the festival. She said they never lacked helping hands. Bailey expressed a huge thank you to all of the volunteers and donors that helped make it a successful event. “Something else that stood out is how integral everyone was,” she said. “On the surface (it might seem) only smalls aspects that someone is donating time to, but it really made a huge impact on the overall success.” For more information about Neskowin Valley School and the experiential education it offers its students, visit neskowinvalleyschool.com.
