Rising waters prompt evacuation effort at Neskowin Creek RV Resort Tillamook County to distribute $875,000 for tourism projects in 2022 According to the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, ever since the transient lodging tax was first collected, using its funds to benefit the community has been the primary goal for the county. One of the ways that is accomplished is through a tourism facilities grant process. From 2015 through 2020, $3 million has been distributed to help with community projects. For the 2022 cycle, the county has approved a TLT tourism facilities grant fund of $875,000. Government agencies, special districts and nonprofits are eligible to apply,

with a maximum request of $75,000 per project. The application opened Nov. 15 and can be downloaded at https://tillamookcoast.com/ grants. An instructional webinar will be posted by Dec. 15; deadline to apply is Feb. 15, 2022. This year, the county has asked Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (TCVA) to manage the grant process. TCVA will work with the Tourism Advisory Council (TAC), a group of community volunteers from throughout the county, as they review and score applications.

Once the TAC makes their decisions, TCVA will present the recommendations to the Tillamook Board of County Commissioners for approval. Funds will be made available in April 2022. Questions about the grant can be directed to Amy Blackburn, TCVA deputy director and grants administrator, at amy@tillamookcoast. com. To download the information packet/ application, visit https://tillamookcoast.com/ grants.

In the past, South Tillamook County projects have figured prominently in TLT grants as funds have been awarded for the Cape Kiwanda Master Plan ($95,000), improvements to the Cape Kiwanda Beach Access ($54,945 and $132,659), an expansion to the Kiawanda Community Center ($339,148), and the Pacific City/Woods Parking Management Plan.

he Nestucca Valley Lions Club members have been busy playing Santa’s helpers. The Lions’ Christmas Basket Program is in full swing with giving trees decorated and coin donation boxes placed in local businesses. This program aims to help children ages birth to 18-years-old, families, and seniors who live in the Nestucca Valley School District area. There are several ways to “help our neighbors as we take care of each other,” says Club treasurer and project leader Teresa Smith. Visit a giving tree where festive tags hang on branches featuring the ages and genders of children. Select the tag preferred and take it with you to provide inspiration while purchasing a gift that a child at that age might enjoy. Return the unwrapped gift with tag taped on it to the same giving tree location by Dec 9. Giving trees are located in Pacific City at the Kiawanda Community Center, Oregon Coast Bank, and Chester’s Market, with other locations at Center Market in Cloverdale and Church of the Nazarene in Hemlock. All returned gifts will then go to Santa’s workshop where they will be lovingly wrapped and designated to a specific child. Community members are invited to participate in Santa’s workshop on Monday through Friday, Dec. 13-17, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District’s fire station and administrative center in Hebo. “Come wrap gifts or package food items even if you aren’t Lion club members,” says Smith. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, masks are required at the workshop and occupancy is limited to 25 at a time. Help also is needed on Saturday, Dec, 18, 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m., for basket/ gift pick-up day. Monetary donations are also appreciated. “Each child gets one gift, but with more giving and money they might get more,” Smith added. A food drive will not happen this year due to COVID adaptations, so donations will especially be needed to provide a complete holiday meal with ham and all the trimmings plus personal care items and sundries to

community families. Those donating can stop by Oregon Coast Bank where they will accept giving in person. Donation envelopes also hang on the giving trees. Benevolent residents can also drop change and cash in a Lions coin collection box available for a limited time at local businesses from Beaver to Neskowin. Additionally, checks can be made payable to “Nestucca Valley Lions Christmas Baskets” and mailed to P.O. Box 177, Cloverdale, OR 97112. For all who provide their names and addresses with donations, a thank you letter and receipt will be sent at the conclusion of the

event specifying how many gifts were given and how the money was used. The Lions Club is also inviting all to get in the holiday spirit with its club members at the Dec. 4 Holiday Bazaar at the Kiawanda Community Center. Visitors can look for the Lions Club members in bright yellow vests and participate in the raffle for $1 per ticket. Raffle prizes will include a high-performance composite Trex bench or one of three gifts baskets — children’s theme, savory with wine, or sweet with wine. (See related story, page 10). “We are a small group and would love more members,” added Smith. “We could do a lot more service projects.” For more information on these Lions events, visit the Nestucca Valley Lions page on Facebook or reach out at NestuccaValleyLions@ gmail.com.

State Parks to upgrade Cape Lookout State Park in 2023 The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission approved an initial list of park capital improvement projects at its regular Nov. 17 meeting that will be funded by the issuance of general obligation bonds. Included on the list are plans to allocate funds for improvements at Cape Lookout State park in March 2023. The plan for Cape Lookout is to relocate A & B loops to higher ground, which includes new roads, new infrastructure and restroom/shower facilities. As well, the improvements call for removing facilities that are being lost to ocean erosion. The current general obligation bond estimate for this project is $8-10 million. The 2021 Oregon Legislature passed SB 5506 that approved the issuance of $50 million in general obligation bonds to fund the state park facility improvements. “The legislature’s incredibly generous act allows us to make significant and much needed upgrades to facilities and infrastructure, as well as modernize and expand some campgrounds,” said Lisa Sumption, director of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). “This support for the park system’s future is especially meaningful as we commemorate our centennial in 2022 and our commitment to provide world-class park experiences.”

The agency will receive two disbursements of $25 million each, with the first occurring May 2022 and the second in March 2023. These funds must be spent within three years of payout. A summary of the project list shown below is broken into the two different project groups based on when they’re slated to start general bond funding. Cost estimates are provided as ranges as the agency continues to refine project work. Construction for the May 2022 projects are expected to begin in fall 2022. Another area amongst the 11 projects approved is Nehalem Bay State Park. This project, also set to receive funding in 2023, will consist of a park-wide upgrade as well as a focus on the facility’s yurt loop. It will upgrade existing utilities in three loops and add a new cabin loop, tent sites, and new campground restrooms within the campground. In addition, adding seasonal staff housing and upgrading to several day-use facilities are in the plans. The current general obligation bond estimate for the project is $5-8 million. Materials provided to the Commission on Nov. 17 are available by visiting oregon.gov/ oprd/CAC/Pages/CAC-oprc.aspx.

Car recovered on banks of Little Nestucca, victim found next day Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District responded to an evening accident on Tuesday, Nov. 16 along Highway 130 where they found a car on the banks of the Little Nestucca River. Fire Chief James Oeder told the Sun that crews did not find anyone in the vehicle that night, but did on a second call the following morning, recovering the body after a report of someone in the water was called in.

In its efforts on Nov. 16, Nestucca Fire enlisted the assistance of the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and Tillamook Fire, who brought their rescue team to help secure the vehicle so that emergency personnel could see if anyone was inside the car. As of press time, Oeder didn’t know if a cause had been determined but said OSP is taking the lead on the investigation.

Giving thanks to South County Community heroes By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook County Visitors Association With Thanksgiving coming up, it’s an ideal time to mention people and organizations that have done so much to support the community. In 2020, the Tillamook Coast Visitors Association honored those who helped so many people and businesses not only during the first year of the Covid pandemic and September fires, but also because helping is what Photos courtesy of Tillamook County Visitors Association they do.

Neskowin emergency egress is viable, but finishing touches won’t be finished until spring By TIM HIRSCH for the Sun Should disaster strike, emergency workers can now get in and out of Neskowin by an emergency egress route that is nearing completion. “It’s currently viable as an emergency egress route,” Tillamook County Public Works Director Chris Laity told the Sun. Originally slated to take years to complete, the route still has yet to be paved — that won’t be done until next spring — but Laity said that the 1,000-foot road, which includes two bridges and one boxed culvert, can be used by emergency responders. Access is currently limited with a barricade, but that will be replaced with a permanent gate in the spring. Contractors will enter winter shut down of construction on Dec. 1. Work will resume

in the spring with final grading, a “tune up” of any winter damage, and plantings. Laity said the work was able to be done in one season — plus minor improvements this spring — thanks to the construction plan. “Essentially, we’re a summer ahead on construction,” Laity said. “(Contractors) came up with unique solutions to allow this to be built in one summer and the fall. It had to do with the way they sequenced the bridge construction, …how they staged equipped and orchestrated the moving of equipment and beams.” He said the emergency route will be beneficial in a number of scenarios. “Obviously, (it will be important during a) tsunami event, but, a more likely situation is a king tide rolls in some large logs and stacks them on top of the bridge and (residents) can’t get out of town because we can’t (immediately) move debris. We can’t move logs without heavy equipment.”

A single-vehicle crash near Tillamook on Highway 101 claimed the life of a Portland woman when, driving in wet conditions, a driver lost control of his vehicle in the early morning hours of Nov. 7. The incident occurred near milepost 60. An Oregon State Police preliminary investigation revealed a silver Subaru Impreza, operated by Anthony Ronald Cuarteros, 26, of Portland, was northbound in wet weather conditions when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle veered off the northbound shoulder into a deep drainage ditch. From there, it reportedly continued in the drainage ditch for more than 200 feet, crossing over two raised driveway entries, until coming to an uncontrolled rest

in the ditch directly in front of the Tillamook Country Smoker Factory Outlet Store. Anthony Cuarteros sustained serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital. One of his passengers, Janette Gaudalupe Medina, 23, of Portland, was pronounced dead at the scene. Passengers Alexander Bradley Cuarteros, 22, of Portland and Damon Kyle Cornwell, 25, of Beaverton were treated at the hospital for minor injuries. The highway was closed for approximately five hours. Oregon State Police was assisted by Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Tillamook Police Department, Tillamook Fire and Rescue, Bay City Fire Department, and ODOT Incident Response.

Rising water prompts evacuation Emergency responders help 15 residents of Neskowin Creek RV Park to safety By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

storm-fueled surge sent rescue workers scrambling on Friday, Nov. 12 when a multitude of agencies contributed to an evacuation effort at Neskowin Creek RV Resort where RVs and travel trailers were surrounded by the rising waters of Neskowin Creek. The operation began when Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District was returning from a call on Slab Creek Road and observed the residents’ safety being challenged by the rising waters. Ultimately, two U.S. Coast Guard helicopters teamed up to lift 12 residents to safety, and three dogs, too. Responding to the incident was a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Photos by Tim Hirsch Coast Guard Sector North Bend and a MH-60 THE RISING WATERS of Neskowin Creek threatened residents of Neskowin Creek RV Resort on Friday, Jayhawk out of Coast Guard Sector Columbia Nov. 12.

The Dolphin was able to cuation efforts. take its rescued passengers to the Neskowin Wayside but the Jayhawk, due its larger size, had to land on the beach at the end of McMinnville Avenue. As well, Tillamook County Sheriff deputies aided three additional residents via a trail meant as a tsunami evacuation route. “By the time the Coast Guard arrived, we had exhausted all our resources trying to get in and get these people rescued,” Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief James Oeder told the Sun. Most evacuees had arranged transport to shelter of their own from there, but Oeder said that two to three families made their way to the gym at Nestucca Valley Elementary School, which thanks to efforts of school district staff and members of the local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), was set up as an evacuation center. Oeder said that many residents did take their own initiative and that he estimated that between 15 and 16 vehicles left with their trailers on their own before the bridge became impassable. He said that likely accounted for about 30 people. “At the entrance, the water was over most of the road by the time we stopped and started setting up,” Oeder told the Sun. “(At first), it was probably six or seven inches deep.” At that point, he said, some of the RVs began making their way out. But that only lasted so long as the water rose and the current sped up. And to make matters worse, the road on the west side of the bridge started to give way. “(The water) got up to roughly a foot — maybe a little deeper, and as things (continued), the road started going away and became unsafe for vehicles to pass,” Oeder added. Amongst those earlier plans were to use a rope system and for responders to guide residents across the bridge as well as using a marine deputy boat to bring people to safety. “On a normal day, that creek is a pretty mild creek, but, with the amount of rain we had and amount of water coming off Cascade Head, the current was pushing really hard — even by the banks,” Oeder said. “We had to weigh out the safety (of any rescue operation). That was one of the reasons we didn’t use the boat rescue operation. The current was strong enough that if something happened, we couldn’t guarantee (safety).” Nestucca Valley School District and Tillamook County Transportation District also played a role in support services as both organizations sent vehicles down to ferry passengers. The school district also set up its elementary school to receive both helicopter landings and evacuees, though the USCG ultimately decided on a closer landing spot. On the day of the event, Oeder told the Sun that there were reports that some of the road had been washed away but he later confirmed that the RV park repaired any damage, which was less than first expected. As well, concerns of damage to the bridge were alleviated once engineers hired by the RV park were able to survey it and confirm there wasn’t any damage. “Everybody worked together; it went as well as you could ask,” Oeder “The RV park had an engineer company come out and access the added. bridge, and they saw no damage to the bridge at all from the water,” In addition to the Nestucca Fire, other agencies involved in the effort Oeder said. “And the road from the park side has been fixed and were the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, North compacted. They have full access now — both in and out.” Lincoln Fire & Rescue, ODOT, CERT members, Nestucca Valley School He also credited the successful evacuation operation to the willingness District, Tillamook County Transportation District, and the U.S. Coast of participating agencies to work together.

HOLIDAY GIFT BUYING will get a jump start on Saturday, Dec. 4, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., when the Kiawanda Community Center hosts its annual Christmas Bazaar. This year’s bazaar will feature 30 vendors, most of which hail from the South Tillamook County area.

for children and adults, quilted casserole holders, potholders, candles, wood carvings and even hand tied flies for fishing. One of the special features of the church’s holiday market are its gift baskets, which the women’s group collects all year long. Church members then take one home and fill it with themed items and bring it back to the church where it is wrapped up in cellophane and topped with a bow. Marie Wand’s hair-themed gift basket, full of goodies including a hair dryer, curling iron and a sturdy wooden heart shelf on which to store both, will be among them. And it wouldn’t be an old-fashioned bazaar without a handcrafted quilt raffle. This year’s piece, which features squares of different earthy tones with white and just a bit of black around the edges, was crafted by society member Linda Hurliman. Tickets are six for $5. There will also be a separate raffle for two $100 gift certificates, one from Safeway and another from Fred Meyer. Food available for purchase will include the society’s homemade sauerkraut, made with a secret recipe. “It is well known. People come from far and wide to buy some,” Miller said. It can also be bought in pints and quarts or alongside one of the group’s famous polish dogs. The women’s group plans to have “oodles” of fresh homemade cinnamon rolls and other baked goods for sale, as well as coffee. All food will be served to-go this year. Children are invited to visit with Santa from 11a.m.-2 p.m. the day of the event. Photo by Tim Hirsch

Thinking about a first or new tattoo or wanting to maintain or cover up an old one? Megan Gill and Chase Moodie, owners of Suite D Tattoo can do just that in their “ultramodern” tattoo parlor in Pacific City. The business, which opened its doors in November 2019, is clean and neat in appearance with minimalist décor set against soft white and beige walls. A black upholstered tattoo chair and cosmetic tattoo bed complete the scene. The shop is quite unlike the stereotypical tattoo parlor of the past — and that is by design says Moodie. “Things have changed in the tattoo industry in the last 15 years or so,” he said. “There is a new type of customer… and there’s a new type of artist.” Getting a tattoo used to be looked upon as taboo, he said. “It was associated with tough guys, people who had done prison time,” he said. “(Today) more professionals, doctors and lawyers are getting one, and Photo by Melanie Johnson they want a sterile environment,” he said.
