THE PERRY GERBER BAND, seen here at their performance at the 2021 Clover’s Day Celebration, will play a free outdoor concert during the Kiawanda Community Center’s “Trick or Treat the Dory Fleet” event on Sunday, Oct. 31.

Dories, candy and rock n’ roll Kiawanda Community Center promising a night of Halloween fun during ‘Trick or Treat the Dory Fleet’

FUEL UP FOR YOUR FALL ADVENTURES We are so excited to welcome you inside our café once again.

Grab a cinnamon bliss and vanilla latté and watch the Dory boats head out for their daily catch from the comforts of our cozy tables. Or, grab a seasonal iced drink with our brie and bacon grilled cheese to fuel up for your day’s adventures.

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun Kids won’t be the only ones to get into costume this Halloween. No, this Oct. 31, a number of dories from Pacific City’s renowned dory fleet will get in on the action, too.

The occasion is the first-ever “Trick or Treat the Dory Fleet” Halloween event, which is scheduled from 5-8 p.m. at the Kiawanda Community Center’s parking lot.

In part created due to a desire to create a safe event with the dangers of the COVID-19 pandemic still looming and in part as a way to celebrate the dory fleet, the event will feature a number of dories in the parking lot adorned in whatever manner their owners deem appropriate for the occasion. Kids will be invited to trick-ortreat from boat to boat.

Organizer Arica Sears told the Sun that the event will seek to provide a safe, but fun way for youth of the area to have a little fun on Halloween. In addition to offering the younger set the chance to collect candy — much of which was donated by the Nesko Women’s Club — there will be ample opportunity to sip on cider and sample snacks.

And providing a little entertainment for all ages will be the rock and rolls sounds of the Perry Gerber Band. Comprised of Perry Gerber, Richard Paris, Greg Stillwell and Norman Austin, the group is known for rocking songs from the 1950s and 1960s as well as original tunes. And they’re no stranger to South Tillamook County having most recently played at the 2021 Clover’s Day. For more information about the night of Halloween fun, call 503-965-7900.

Surfer safe after being caught in riptide

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun A female surfer was helped to safety midafternoon on Oct. 19 after reportedly being caught in a riptide at Cape Kiwanda. According to Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief James Oeder, she was uninjured and refused medical treatment.

Though Nestucca Fire called in rope teams from both Netarts Fire & Rescue and Tillamook Fire Department, as it turns out, the surfer was able to make her way to a small beach area near a cave along the south side of Cape Kiwanda.

Oeder said that upon his arrival, his teams were able to get a visual on the victim from atop the Cape and noted that she was out of the water but separated from her board.

He said that she was able to work her way up the side of the Cape via a series of 4- to 5-foot deep ledges that, one by one, she reportedly hoisted herself up.

“She was able to start coming up on her own; she started working her way up and our crews were able to meet her partway down,” Oeder told the Sun. “There are some natural made steps in the cliff in that spot, and she was able to work her way up those.”

He said that from there they walked with her down the Cape and transported her to Tillamook County’s parking lot.

“In talking with her and with others that were out there, it sounds like she got caught

in a riptide,” Oeder said. “It sounded like she started somewhere in the area (west of) Pelican Brewery. One person that was next to her was able to get in (to the beach), but (the victim) was hung up in that riptide. (It) was a pretty strong ocean.”

Responding to the call were two rescue vehicles and a brush unit from NRFPD, a rope team from Netarts Fire and an ambulance from Adventist Health-Tillamook. The U.S. Coast Guard had a helicopter and motor lifeboat on the way and Tillamook Fire a second rope rescue team, but they were called off before they could arrive due to the surfer reaching safety first.

Oeder credited the team as well as bystanders for the quick and successful rescue.

“It was very good work by all the crews and also by the bystanders that provided us with information — that really helped us be able to find the victim quicker instead of having to do a lot of searching,” he said.

“Unless you’re a very experienced surfer when we’re having ocean conditions like we had (on Oct. 19), we wouldn’t recommend going out,” Oeder added. “(You should) check the ocean and be careful of riptides before you go out into the water this time of the year.”

And noting the rash of automotive accidents in the north side of Tillamook County, the fire chief urged caution.

“This time of year, everybody should just slow down a little bit,” he said. “If roads look iffy, just don’t take a chance on them.”

Tierra Del Mar residents install new evacuation signs The Tierra Del Mar Community Association’s emergency preparedness committee, together with the South Tillamook County Emergency Volunteer Corp, worked together to install a series of 12 new tsunami signs in the Tierra Del Mar portion of Sandlake Road over the weekend of Oct. 9-10.

The effort is part of a larger effort to assist the community in becoming better prepared for emergencies.

“The objective of the signage project was that in an emergency, when every second counts, TDM community residents, neighbors, family, friends, and visitors will know how to reach the nearest evacuation assembly point as quickly as possible,” said Dave Sears, chair of the Tierra Del Mar Emergency Preparedness Committee.

A related factor is the fact that Tierra Del Mar does not have cell service and that, in the event of a tsunami or earthquake, officials don’t believe the current cell phone alerts and notifications would be effective.

With the new signs, officials believe residents and visitors now have an improved directional system should they need assistance in knowing which way to go should disaster strike.

There were a few older tsunami signs on Sandlake Road pointing to the assembly area to the south and the new signs from Holly Avenue northward now point north to the assembly area just past Roma Avenue. The signs from Guardenia southward, point south to the assembly areas across from Gage/Harris and Irish Avenue.

All new tsunami signage was installed on the east side of Sandlake road in an effort to achieve maximum visibility during an evacuation.

Photos courtesy of Tierra Del Mar Community Association “In an emergency, people tend to panic and the need for clear visible signage was crucial to everyone,” Sears THE TIERRA DEL MAR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION played a key part in getting new tsunasaid. mi evacuation route signs installed over the Oct. 9-10 weekend.

“We worked with the Tillamook County (Public Works) to determine the appropriate locations and each sign was installed in the public road right of way on Sandlake Road,” added Isabel Gilda, chair of the Tierra Del Mar Community Association. “Depending on where you are located in TDM, the new signs will direct residents and visitors to head either to the north or south emergency assembly areas.”

The project is the culmination of over a year and a half of work — an effort that included hours attending meetings and walking the streets of TDM identifying the emergency evacuation map and assembly areas.

Dave Sears, chair of the TDM emergency committee and board member on the STCEVC, says that the success in bringing this project together would not have been possible without the support and guidance from Marge Jozsa, president of the STCEVC, who he says patiently guided the group through the steps of collecting information and submitted the grant application on Tierra Del Mar’s behalf.

Funding for the signs was primarily awarded from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). As well, after Facebook learned about the sign project, they donated some additional funds to purchase the poles and installation materials.

“A big thank you to our neighbors in Neskowin who went through a tsunami sign project recently and very generously shared some information and lessons they had assist the community in communication in the event of a power outage learned,” Sears said. resulting in no available landlines/cell phone/internet service.

One thing the funding did not include was the cost of installation and “As residents and property owners of Tierra Del Mar, it is recognized labor. that in a time of crisis we may need to be self-sufficient for a significant “This is where our volunteers stepped up and made the project period of time before outside emergency services arrive,” he said. “Our happen,” Sears added. volunteer emergency preparedness committee is making great headway The original plan was to have a bigger community event for the sign and while we still have a way to go, TDM is far better prepared already installation, but, due to COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions, it had with the new tsunami signage and our radio communication efforts.” to be much smaller.

Weber announces campaign for Oregon Senate In a video statement on Oct. 14, State Representative Suzanne Weber announced her candidacy for the Oregon State Senate.

“I’m excited to take this next step in serving my community,” said Weber. “I hope I can count on your support like I did last year when I ran for State Representative to bring our common sense to Salem.”

“There are no bigger shoes to fill in Oregon politics than those of Senator Betsy Johnson,” she added. “But I will work every day to live up to her legacy as an independent, non-partisan leader here in Rural Northwest Oregon.”

Johnson, who has served Senate District 16 for the last 16 years, announced the same day that she is running for governor as an independent candidate.

Oregon awards Oregon Green Schools $10,000 The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has awarded Oregon Green Schools $10,000 to help the nonprofit transition from a fully volunteer organization to establishing a more formal structure, including a small, paid professional staff. This shift will strengthen and expand OGS’s activities with schools across the state.

OGS is a nonprofit organization that provides free sustainability assistance and support to schools across the state. Using a comprehensive certification framework, student events and a network of regional coordinators that provide coaching and technical assistance, OGS supports schools in establishing and maintaining resource conservation programs designed to both educate students and establish sustainable practices within schools themselves.

“We’re thrilled to offer this funding to Oregon Green Schools and strengthen our partnership

with them,” says Lydia Emer, Land Quality Division Administrator at DEQ. “Supporting our school system and introducing sustainability concepts into our classrooms helps inspire future generations to protect Oregon’s air, land and water.”

OGS has been an expert in sustainability education for almost 25 years, and DEQ anticipates this funding will enhance K-12 providing environmental education throughout the state.

“We’re so grateful for our longtime partnership with the DEQ,” says Kersey Goodwin, strategic partnership director at OGS. “With their loyal support, OGS is building our capacity and strengthening our community across Oregon. We share a common goal to reach students and activate sustainability leadership and we’re excited to continue working together.”

SMALL BUSINESS SURVIVAL KIT: ADAPT, CREATE, LOOK AHEAD

By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook County Visitors Association Since midMarch of 2020, nearly 20 months ago, our community – and world – has been dealing with a global pandemic. Here in Pacific City, an area built on the strength of small businesses, the impact of COVID has been more than challenging.

Our business owners have gone from feeling panic and worry, to surfing the waves of everchanging guidelines, to seeing light at what is hopefully an end to the pandemic.

Timm and Tammy Lakey, owners of Beach Walk (formerly Beach Wok) adapted to Covid guidelines and supply shortages by revising their menu, limiting hours of operation, and providing takeout and outdoor seating.

Immediate impact: drastic drop in revenue In that month of March, lodging, boat launches, several parks and restrooms, indoor dining, events, museums, and several retailers were shut down. This was a move to help prevent the spread of COVID, but it also prevented many people from making a living from their small business. It was a frightening time.

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association conducted surveys and interviews with 76 businesses from different sectors of the tourism industry and found how big an impact this made:

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners is seeking applications for one vacancy on the Tillamook County Parks Advisory Committee. Members of this committee advise the Board of Commissioners on planning issues and management policies for Tillamook County parks. Members serve three-year terms.

The Tillamook County Parks Advisory Committee is composed of seven members with representatives from north, south, and central county. The committee normally meets one time per month for two hours, currently on the first Tuesday from noon to 2 p.m. Tillamook

County citizens from all areas of the county are encouraged to apply.

Membership application forms are available at co.tillamook.or.us under the Board of Commissioners’ Committees page.

coming back to work, not only for health reasons, but also because of the stress of dealing with people who refused to wear masks. In addition, with schools closed and little to no childcare, many working parents had no choice but to stay home.

One dory charter owner said he had to refund $10,000 in cancelled fishing trips. “I’m hoping the phone doesn’t ring again with someone wanting a refund,” he said. And he stated that with boat launch areas closed, even locals couldn’t supply fish for their families.

However, the community rallied to support small business. Donations were made to food banks; meals provided to furloughed employees and community members in need; the PCNV Chamber donated funds; COVID supplies were provided; social services, such as CARE, helped with rent funds; relief grants were made available, generously matched with funds from the Tillamook County Creamery Association.

Second wave impact: crisis in staffing, added expenses When businesses were able to open, it was with major restrictions and limited capacity. Indoor dining was still not an option for many restaurants, and they had added expenses with plexiglass barriers, outdoor dining seating, and takeout supplies. Lodging left rooms vacant for at least 24 hours in order to meet additional cleaning requirements.

Charter boats resumed but with much fewer guests and crew in order to meet safe distancing requirements. Retail shops created directional pathways, with hand sanitizer at the door and allowing only a few people at a time inside.

But the nature of small business owners is to survive. So, they adapted, got creative and did the best they could with what they had. One restaurant owner said, “This place has been in business for 60 years. I don’t want it going down on my watch.”

The biggest hurdle at this time was staffing: people were concerned about

No indoor events; fundraisers stopped

became more difficult to get, many restaurants limited their menu items and hours of operation.

Four retailers closed, others adopted online sales platforms. One retailer expanded by buying a building and remodeling it for an additional business.

Pacific City saw four new businesses open during this time.

Lodging businesses, needing staffing at all levels, rented homes and set aside rooms in their hotels for employees to live. To make up for lost revenue and higher costs, lodging owners and managers throughout the county raised their rates. As four managers said, “no one blinked an eye.” And that has proven true: as of June 30, gross lodging receipts have already exceeded 2019 levels.

Farmers and fishers resumed work, even with regional markets remaining down, especially for those who sold to Portland restaurants. But one farm expanded, tripling their crop output. And of course, our dairy farms continued as usual – cows need to be milked!

Lingering impact, but eyes on the future The late summer appearance of the delta variant of Covid-19 dealt another blow not only to individuals and families, but to businesses as well.

Venues cancelled events, festivals didn’t happen as planned, restaurants faced even greater supply issues due to a severe lack of truck drivers.

However, riding the Covid wave proved something very valuable: small businesses can survive tough times by being creative, adaptive, resourceful and forward thinking. And they survive because the community supports them.

Stop by a small business and thank them for their resiliency.

NESTUCCA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT Superintendent Misty Wharton is excited about the new softball field (above) and baseball fields (below) that were recently completed. As well, the district now has a “12 and under” regulation soccer field it’s already using for physical education purposes.

Fields of Dreams

She also said that the new fields have everyone from students to staff excited. “(The kids) are super excited. Our coaches are super excited. I’m super excited,” Wharton exclaimed. “I feel like it’s a really nice facility for our kids. When you have nice things like this, it makes them proud and then they’re better stewards of it and more responsible with it.”

NEXT STEPS The district will follow suit with finishing the little league fields, the playground and the walking/running path — the latter of which will eventually serve as a cross country course suitable for hosting meets — using in-kind donations and staff work.

he first two phases of a seven-year dream of bringing first-class soccer, baseball and softball fields to the Nestucca Valley School District has come to fruition.

The district began welcoming students — during physical education classes and recess — to a 12 and under regulation soccer field on the new Nestucca Valley Elementary School campus. As well, as of press time, there only remained finishing touches for a collegiatesized (and OSAA approved) baseball field and OSAA softball field. Both of the ball fields feature artificial turf infields.

“It’s really come a long ways from (what artificial turf used to be like),” NVSD Superintendent Misty Wharton told the Sun. “This is much easier to maintain and replace sections of if need be than the original stuff.”

Taken together, the three fields cost the district approximately $2 million though that figure also includes some preliminary work for an upcoming playground, walking/ running/mountain bike path, and little league softball and baseball fields.

The bulk of the funds — about $1.6 million — came from the district’s Photos by Tim Hirsch general fund and the NESTUCCA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT’S new baseball field will begin to balance from grants. host student athletes this upcoming February when the sport starts its The effort was also 2022 season. helped out by funds from the Nestucca Valley Athletic Supporters, Inc., who paid football field and track.

District Reaches for New Heights Upgraded 100-foot ladder truck to replace older model

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

n its continual effort to provide fire and rescue services for the citizens of the area, the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District has purchased a new to the district 100-foot ladder truck to replace its aging current ladder truck.

Replacing the 1985 model truck currently in service will be a 1995 model that not only features a ladder to reach buildings taller than ground ladders can span (approximately 35 feet), but also features a 1,500 gallon per minute water pump. And that gives the district yet another valuable tool.

Fire Chief James Oeder said there is a significant need for a ladder truck. And he said he expects this relatively low use example (1,408 hours and 14,791 miles) to fit the bill.

As of press time, new NRFPD decals had yet to be put on the truck’s doors, but that was expected to be done within a month.

“If you have a roof line (taller) than 35 feet, which, by the time you look at your bottom of your eve to the peak, we’ve got lots of (singlefamily dwellings) that are over 35 feet, (a ladder truck is important),” Oeder said. “When we first had the opportunity to get (the first one), that’s what we were looking at. We weren’t looking at necessarily the businesses that we need to get (a ladder) up to. When you start adding up the amount of single-family dwellings we have (that are taller than 35 feet), there’s a lot out there.”

“One of the biggest reasons that I wanted to get a newer, upgraded truck is (the current) one is getting old, and, mechanically, it’s starting to have problems,” Oeder added. “We’ve spent a lot of money every year fixing it.”

Oeder said that maintaining a ladder truck is part of the district’s mutual aid agreements with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Tillamook Fire Department and can also be used for a variety of rescue operations. As well, Assistant Fire Chief Mickey Hays noted that, when the district purchased the currently in service ladder truck, it earned a lower (improved) Insurance Services Office rating, which, in turn, caused fire insurance premiums for the residents in the district to drop. There is a possibility that the new ladder truck will again improve the district’s rating, but Oeder said he’ll know more about that possibility in early November.

“The people from ISO from Oregon are going to be here (then), and I’m going to talk to them about getting the process started on re-rating,” he said.

Purchased via NRFPD’s apparatus fund, the truck set the district back $65,000 — including the extrication and other equipment that was part of the package. Hays flew to Sterling, Illinois to examine the rig, and, subject to his evaluation, negotiate a purchase of vehicle. Oeder estimated that, if purchased new, a similar truck would go for between $1.2 million and $1.5 million.

Subsequently, the rig was shipped across the country to Oregon Apparatus in Eugene, an organization that the district uses to do annual maintenance on its rigs.

As for the old ladder truck, which was purchased by the district in 2011 for $10,000, Hayes said the plan is to donate it to the Rockaway Beach Fire Department.

As of press time, the district had already

NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT has added an upgraded 100-foot ladder truck. The 1995 model year rescue vehicle boasts a 1,500 gallon per minute water pump, something the ladder truck it is replacing lacks. As of press time, staff and volunteers still had some training to do on the new vehicle and the district was waiting on new decals, but Fire Chief James Oeder told the Sun that he expects the rig to be in service

by Thanksgiving. Purchased

by NRFPD’s apparatus fund, the truck cost $65,000. Oeder estimated that, if purchased new, a similar truck would cost between $1.2 million and $1.5 million.

trained personnel on the set-up of jacks and the ladder system itself. Next on the agenda will be training on the water pump.

“After we get finished with that, we’ll drill with them a few more times, and then it will be put into service,” Hays said.

He added other plus behind the upgrade was its maneuverability.

“This can be used in tighter corners,” Oeder

explained. With the old truck, the jacks have to be set completely out. This truck has a pump system on it for the jacks, they come out and go down, but you can do what they call short jack.

If we were in an alleyway and had the fire on the left-hand side, we would park so we could get the jacks on the left-hand side extended all the way out. And then the other jacks don’t have to go all the way out.”

The meeting is open to the public but there will not be time for public comments during the meeting. The committee will evaluate 28 applications over the three days.

To view the agenda for a list of project proposals and link to the online meeting, visit oregon.gov/oprd/GRA/Documents/RTPGrant-Meeting-October-2021.pdf.

The RTP Advisory Committee will submit recommendations to the Oregon State Parks Commission for review and approval at their November meeting. OPRD will then forward approved project proposals to the Federal Highway Administration for final approval.

The RTP Advisory Committee consists of 10 volunteer members who represent various user groups and land managers. Eligible RTP applicants include state agencies, federal land management agencies, tribal governments, non-profit organizations, cities, counties and park and recreation districts.

RTP is an assistance program of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. The program provides funds to states to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both nonmotorized and motorized trail uses, including hiking, bicycling, in-line skating, equestrian use, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, off-road motorcycling, allterrain vehicle riding and four-wheel driving or using other off-road motorized vehicles.

“Service Even After The Sale”

years of internet research, was finally able to connect with the owner. Everything went well initially. The owner was supportive and willing to work with them if they fixed up the house.

They removed a large garbage dumpster of debris (and worse), painted inside, put in a new woodstove, and paid for repairs to the electric panel to get the power restored.

Then, in February, the water was shut off.

It was at this point they lost contact with the owner. With a bit more sleuthing, they discovered the owner was in legal trouble.

They have been permitted to stay in the home, but they cannot get the water turned back on without the owner’s permission, which he has not granted.

Despite these struggles, McClure remains committed to helping others in similar circumstances. She is always on the lookout for “Zombie” houses and goes to great lengths to search for the owners.

“Everything great starts with something small,” she says. “A rental doesn’t have to be perfect for someone to move into it. For a lot of people, a condemned house is better than nothing at all.”

Speaking more broadly about the housing crisis, McClure says she sees the issue from all sides, including the needs and interests of landlords and vacation homeowners, but is especially concerned about large companies coming into communities and buying up housing stock for vacation rentals.

“It’s not okay — It makes it hard for me to hire people at the store because there’s no housing,” she said.

McClure sees and hears the perception that people are homeless because they are on drugs or don’t want to work. She wants people to know this is not true for most people in need of housing.

“I work 45-50 hours/week, six days a week,” she says. “It’s not that people don’t want to work. Sometimes they just can’t. When I got colon cancer eight years ago, I had to stop working. Anyone can be in this situation. It just takes one accident or illness for this to become someone’s reality.”

When asked if she has considered moving, she is resolved.

“I love Oregon and I am going to stay here and keep fighting for this,” she says. “People need a place to live to work.”

What’s the story behind the “Tillamook County for Rent” Facebook group? The Tillamook County Housing Commission went behind-the-scenes to find the person who is shining a spotlight on what it describes as heart-wrenching stories of a lopsided housing market. While the page’s creator, Trinity McClure, has helped dozens of people find housing, she has not been so lucky.

For most of the seven years they have lived in Tillamook County, McClure’s family of five has been homeless, living in tents, hotels and even an uninhabited home. She and her husband, along with their son and daughter, daughter’s boyfriend and family pets have struggled to stay housed since a cancer diagnosis disrupted her ability to work eight years ago.

Since recovering from colon cancer, McClure has had steady work as a manager of a local retail store, something she managed to do despite the inconveniences of being homeless.

“It’s not fun trying to go to work when you wake up with your bed soaking wet from the rain blowing in your tent or can’t take a shower,” she says.

Lack of rental listings, along with dead-end leads and scams led her to create the Tillamook County for Rent Facebook page.

“There are all these other groups on Facebook so I thought, ‘Why not create one that connects landlords with people who are looking to rent?’” she said.

The page, according to TCHC, has “exploded” with interest, but mostly from people looking. McClure notes that some landlords do monitor the page and reach out to people privately and that tensions can run high on the page with so much competition for so few options. Her family even found their “dream house” through the Facebook page but could no longer afford it when her husband’s health affected his ability to work. Like many others, the family was in a catch-22. With their combined incomes, they make too much for low-income housing but not enough to afford market rate rent.

When asked if they are in a house now, her response is guarded, noting they have not had access to water for months. Acknowledging that hers is a “super unusual story,” McClure relates how, through persistence and resourcefulness, they do have a roof over their head; at least for now.

Her family lived with friends when they first moved to North Tillamook County. A short time after their friends moved, McClure’s family had to find other accommodations, leaving the house empty. Over the next 2 ½ years, she turned over every stone to find housing. Considering that the house they had stayed in before was now vacant, she decided to research and contact the owner to see if they might be able to return to it. She went to the tax assessor’s website and, after more than two

Antiques THE RUSTY COW

A Sure Way to Brighten Your Outlook Sanctuary 97135 offers tanning beds, massage chairs with a healthy dose of rejuventation

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

F

eeling stressed? A little down? If so, you don’t have to go far for a healthy dose of rejuvenation. There’s a new respite for those aching muscles and weary feelings right here in Pacific City.

Sanctuary 97135 Tanning & Wellness, which opened at the end of August, is the brainchild of Seaora Cuevas, owner of Ritual 97135 Coastal Soapery and Candelarium.

Cuevas said the goal is to offer an outlet to fight depression and a sanctuary for visitors to come in for massages, girls’ weekends, getaways, and more.

Located at the Shops at the Village in downtown Pacific City (just north of the four-way stop on Brooten Road) the cozy atmosphere of Sanctuary 97135 is offering two core services — mid- to low-intensity UVB tanning beds and massage chairs. Its doors are open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and by appointment on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Two tanning rooms equipped with VIP Santa Barbara mid intensity beds await those eager to embrace the health benefits of the sun — even when the weather turns gray, damp and cold.

“These are not the beds that do the intense skin damage,” Cuevas says, who prefers the nomenclature of sun beds over tanning beds.

“These are the beds that promote Vitamin D3, bond density, and fight skin issues. Getting five minutes a day of sunshine is a huge antidepressant.”

The beds do offer a way to get a gradual tan, but she says that should be the secondary outcome.

“The primary outcome that you’re looking for is that instant shot of joy,” she added. “Little by little, people are coming

SANCTUARY 97135 offers mid- to low-intensity tanning beds meant to combat the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder with a healthy dose of sunshine. They also offer massage chairs. A variety of packages are available. Call 971-341-1983 for more information.

to understand the benefits of 5 to 10 to 15 minutes of just getting into the sun — that’s why we’re calling them sun beds over tanning beds. It’s always sunning in here, so, if you’re depressed and having just one of those sad, gloomy, mulligan days, let’s get you in a sun bed (for an immediate lift in your attitude).”

The spa’s massage therapy chairs, too, have been a huge hit.

“Once you sit in them, they speak for themselves,” says Caroline Allen, studio specialist for Sanctuary 97135. “They’re wonderful. Most the of the people that have walked away from (the chairs) say they feel much more relaxed and less tense than when they walked in. That’s really our goal — to

Commission adopts Dungeness Crab Management Plan The Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted regulations for implementing the Oregon Dungeness Crab Fishery Management Plan on Oct. 15, the first Dungeness crab fishery management plan to be developed on the west coast.

The FMP describes the status of Dungeness crab and the Department’s management of two commercial crab fisheries (bay and ocean) and the recreational crab fishery in the bays and ocean.

Dungeness crab is an iconic Oregon species and forms the economic backbone of commercial activity along the coast, including tourism, recreational crabbing and seafood industries. In describing the fishery sectors and the management approach of each, the FMP provides a transparent reference for the rationale behind the Department’s research, monitoring and regulatory approaches to sustainably managing Dungeness crab and providing access to all harvesters.

While the majority of regulations are already in place for the management described in the FMP, there are several minor implementing regulations the Commission adopted including a bay commercial logbook requirement, adjustments to late-season buoy tag allowances for the ocean commercial sector, biotoxin management adjustments and fishing gear definitions within marine reserves (which apply to crab and all other commercial fixed gear fisheries).

The Commission also amended OARs for the Oregon Conservation and Recreation Advisory Committee (OCRF), to reflect changes to the Advisory Committee’s membership made by House Bill 2171, which was passed in the 2021 Oregon Legislative Session. The OCRF program was created as an opportunity for all Oregonians to demonstrate support for building a broader conservation legacy for present and future generations. It is funded

by general fund dollars matched with private contributions. Projects funded by OCRF help Oregon Conservation Strategy Species and create new opportunities for wildlife watching, urban conservation, community science, and other wildlife-associated recreation.

Commissioners also approved two OCRF funding recommendations including hiring a staff support position for the OCRF program and the Sea Otter Restoration Community Engagement project. The Sea Otter project will engage communities on the Oregon Coast (particularly the southern coast) with the goal of building support for restoring sea otters to the Oregon coast.

Finally, the Commission was briefed on the draft Rogue–South Coast Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan. The Plan will guide management of winter steelhead, summer steelhead, coho salmon, and cutthroat trout in coastal watersheds of southwest Oregon, from the Elk River south to the Winchuck River, including the Rogue River.

The draft Plan was developed and revised after extensive engagement with stakeholder teams, habitat representatives, tribes, NOAA Fisheries, independent scientists, anglers, and public comment.

More than 80 people signed up to testify about the Plan including Senator Jeff Golden, Curry County Commissioner Court Boice, Representative Suzanne Weber, Coos County Commissioner Bob Main, Representative Boomer Wright and Representative David Brock Smith.

Most of the actions in the draft Plan have broad support and most of the testimony was either for or against the harvest of wild steelhead. Commissioners indicated the need for more discussion among themselves so an additional meeting to allow time for further discussion will be scheduled soon to still allow adoption of a final plan at the Dec. 17 Commission meeting.
