Something for Everyone

By TERRY SULLIVAN for the Sun

If you are seeking a resource to enrich your Pacific City living experience, the South Tillamook County Library may be your ideal entertainment ticket. On a recent visit to the library at Brooten Road and Camp Street, librarians David Frost and Bryan Quan shared the many opportunities that patrons have available to them. From telescopes and portable wifi hot spots to board games and puzzles, there is something for everyone.

“Our library is a hidden gem in this community,” Quan said. “In addition to being a very welcoming gathering place, this branch of the county’s library system offers something for nearly every age group. And most everything can be checked out or used inside for free.”

Topping the list of most used resources are hundreds of DVDs.

“These DVDs are our most popular items,” Frost said. “In fact, we have one regular patron who checks out 30 each month.”

Organized to serve the economically diverse population in the county, the library offers a unique portable wifi hot spot for those without internet connectivity.

“The router gets its signal from satellites,” said Quan, “Access to the world wide web is available to anyone willing to come in and check out the free equipment.”

The library facility is owned by The South Tillamook County Library Club which fundraises year-round to maintain the venue. The library building itself was completed in 1995, thanks to a donation of land, and from grants, auctions and other events that generated the funds needed to build the quality facility.

According to Thrina Parent, chair of the STCLC, the facility is leased to the county for just $1 per year. The county then hires, trains and manages the staff. One important financial resource for library upkeep comes from the library’s thrift shop located across from the Grateful Bread. “The thrift shop is professionally managed and important to building and growing library services,” said Quan.

“It takes a lot to keep the building operational,” added Parent. “Between our book resales, private donations, the thrift shop and grants, we are able to maintain a quality facility.”

While the list of available services is far too extensive to list here, Frost and Quan point to the library system’s long-term plan to further engage all age groups. The

Tillamook County Library’s listening sessions have contributed to a strategic plan that is focused on three main themes. It begins with serving everyone in Tillamook County through inclusiveness, access and relevancy. Providing access to technology that includes individualized training; help to better lives for all by partnering with schools and providing homebound access; and supporting literacy needs, are the top three priorities of the plan.

“We are very excited about the future for this library,” Frost said. “We aim to make it cool for high schoolers to visit our library by providing access to video games in a designated area of the building, In fact, we hope to launch a video games Olympics using positive and edifying games that high schoolers will enjoy playing with their friends.”

Excited is an ideal description for how both Quan and Frost feel about the future of this branch of the library system. Local library regulars Athena Paradise and Jay Ylvisaker echoed the staff’s enthusiasm.

“It is so fun to come to this library,” said Paradise.

“The atmosphere here is super welcoming,” said Ylvisaker.

And they both proclaimed their love for the library and its staff, a sentiment also echoed by Parent who said, “we love our librarians.”

If the staff’s enthusiasm isn’t enough of an attraction, (they even dress up for children’s story times) the library’s list of available resources may be enough to attract even more community members. From ukuleles, video projectors and binoculars to free services for notary, copying, faxing and, of course, books, the South Tillamook County Library offers something for everyone.

“Start a book club using our facilitator guide or explore our extensive Star Trek collection or attend one our live music performances,” Quan said.

“Whatever your interest, I bet you can find it here,” said Frost.

For those interested in supporting this branch of the library, Parent says the STCLC has their board elections in the fall, and new members are encouraged to help with everything from fundraising to special projects to staffing the thrift shop.

“Club membership is just $10 per year, and it allows people to be part of this library community,” she said.

IN ADDITION TO BOOKS, the South Tillamook County LIbrary in Pacific City offers a wide range of opportunities such as telescopes, portable wifi hot spots, board games, and puzzles. At left, story times at the library include special characters from the stories being shared.

Changes to NFIP development standards would hurt

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

FEMA, which is working to resolve a National Marine Fisheries Service biological opinion that stated that FEMA’s current development floodplain standards for its National Flood Insurance Policy are causing jeopardy to some endangered species, shared their current proposed changes to address that “take” and provided time for the public to share their concerns during a town hall in Tillamook on April 5.

Many of the more than 100 in attendance urged FEMA to consider the ramifications to the proposal, new standards the agency has developed in response to NMFS BiOp that said “development actions in the floodplain result in ‘no net loss’ to key habitat functions (including) flood storage, water quality, and riparian vegetation.” According to FEMA, “no net loss” means “mitigate on-site, within the same reach or in the same watershed with different mitigation ratios.”

Those speaking out against FEMA’s current proposal included Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto, who has been working on the issue for seven years.

“This is FEMA’s plan to require Oregon counties and cities to implement the Endangered Species Act through our flood plain development standards,” he said. “We’re concerned that FEMA’s plan does not work for communities in Oregon — especially Tillamook County. And, that the (planned) environmental review will not disclose the effects of the required changes on our community. FEMA will expect local governments to implement these new standards.”

He was also critical of what he described as a lack of engagement with Tillamook County, on the part of FEMA.

Looking Back

“Local government should be directly involved in (the) development (of new standards),” he said. “So far, we have not been adequately engaged.”

He said one of the most critical points is finding a way to lessen the impacts of any new development standards on Tillamook County.

“We’re trying to find ways to mitigate the impacts on Tillamook County. The impacts on Tillamook County are going to be huge.”

He also charged FEMA and NOAA Fisheries to do a complete job on the NEPArequired socio-economic study.

“This is a serious part of NEPA, because

this is going to affect Tillamook County in so many different ways, and it’s not going to be pretty,” Yamamoto said. “Tillamook County is under the microscope here. We urge FEMA to limit any new regulations and to coordinate with other federal and state agencies to harmonize these programs rather than just creating another layer of regulation. New restrictions will expose NFIP-participating jurisdictions to takings and inverse condemnation claims rewards. We know that. These claims don’t even have to be successful in court to be a burden on Tillamook County.”

And Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell echoed the financial peril the

New study to look at non-market values of Oregon’s Marine Reserves

Oregon’s Marine Reserves Program will take part in a new study reportedly designed to estimate how Oregonians assign value to the reserves beyond traditional economic impacts.

The study’s results will reflect something akin to some nations’ “National Happiness Index,” which are measures of the collective happiness and well-being of a country’s population.

Conducted by faculty at Utah State and Oregon State universities, the Subjective Well-Being study is a continuation of an earlier project considering “non-market values” of the marine reserves. It will quantify concepts like what it means just to know five marine reserves exist in Oregon’s nearshore waters dedicated to research and with prohibitions on fishing and development.

In the survey, participants will be asked a series of questions on scenarios designed to investigate how they think these scenarios impact their well-being. Those changes to subjective well-being should help researchers understand how these responses relate to their attitudes toward non-market values.

The non-market values are in addition to traditional economic values like tourism dollars, income from research contracts with commercial fishing captains and other impacts to coastal communities.

county could find itself in.

“It’ll be devastating economically,” she said. “Our economy is naturally resourced based, so we’re farming, fishing, forestry. We’re also about tourism and so we heard from folks in all those industries tonight.”

Bell also decried the fact FEMA and NOAA Fisheries has said they won’t stand up with them in court nor help with any property takes lawsuits.

“They won’t stand up with us; they won’t help pay for the takings of private property,” she added. “But, if we refuse to (enact the more restrictive development standards in the floodplain), then all the environmental agencies will sue us. I’m not given to exaggeration or hyperbole, but there’s a very real scenario where Tillamook County just goes bankrupt in this scenario.”

One point raised repeatedly by many in attendance was FEMA’s position of not giving credit for fish passage and waterway work done previously. Driving that point home was Ray Monroe, district manager for the Tillamook County Soil and Water Conservation District. He noted that by working with landowners, over time Tillamook County has made many water quality improvements including planting 1.3 million trees along riparian zones.

“What we’re doing is pretty groundbreaking,” Tommy Swearingen, the Marine Reserves Program’s Human Dimensions Project leader, said. “Subjective well-being has never been part of the equation.”

“Many people want us to measure these non-market values,” he said. “We’re trying to quantify the perceived benefits to the general public. Doing so will allow a more three-dimensional view of the socioeconomic values of the reserves. The research format also can be used in similar studies of other aspects of the environment.”

The study will begin this spring with an online survey sent to a cross-section of Oregonians who have previously agreed to participate in online surveys.

That round of questions will be used to help finalize the questions for the upcoming main survey, which is expected in late summer or fall.

Swearingen said the random sample in the final survey will be comprised of at least 1,200 Oregonians, half of whom will encounter subjective well-being questions and the other will get questions in a more conventional form of economic survey.

Those individuals will receive a post card to ask whether they are interested in participating and whether they would prefer responding as a mail survey or online.

“The diverse plantings not only provide shade and cover for downstream salmonid migration, but habitat for birds, bees and other important insects that need to be in riparian areas,” he said. “We have also installed many tide gates and replaced many culverts.

“During my time, the coho were listed, delisted, then relisted. In the past five or six years, the Oregon coast natural populations have been consistently great and should be delisted once again. It’s time to give credit where credit is due, and I think the people of Tillamook County should be honored for the positive things they have done together and have set high standards and goals that any community in the entire country would be proud of. So, please don’t punish leaders… with yet another setback on their lands after they’ve done and given up so much.”

FEMA is continuing to solicit public comments regarding the range of issues, information, and analyses relevant to the proposed action, including potential environmental impacts and reasonable alternatives to address in the EIS. The comment period will be open through May 5. Visit https://www.fema.gov/about/ organization/region-10/oregon/nfip-esaintegration for more information.

A Job in hospitality can lead to a lot of good things

By Nan Devlin, Executive Director, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association

Since the pandemic, hospitality businesses have been struggling to hire staff. There are many reasons for this – lack of childcare, lack of transportation, not wanting to experience the rude behavior of some customers (life is stressful enough, right?). I’ve heard comments from people who do not work in hospitality that the reason for short staffing is the jobs are minimum wage.

Not true.

In 2021, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association conducted a survey of various hospitality businesses, from hotels and restaurants to short-term rental agencies and retail stores. We found the minimum wage argument a myth. Minimum wage in rural Oregon is $12.50 an hour. The lowest we found in Tillamook County hospitality businesses was $15 an hour plus tips. However, the average wage from our survey was $22 an hour, and several STR agencies paid between $25 and $48 an hour. Several employers offered benefits, including health insurance and vacations. That’s a good living.

Catered events are finally making a post-COVID comeback.

largest employers of middle-class wage earners in the U.S.

- Nearly 20% of those employed in hospitality are attending school; the average in other industries is just 8%.

- They have 32% higher rates of achieving a four-year degree than those in other industries.

What you may not know is what the long-term benefits are of working in the hospitality industry. Most importantly, it teaches you the invaluable basics of any career: getting to work on time, working as a collaborative team member, learning customer service skills (including how to deal with rude customers), meeting people from other cultures and traditions, gaining cross-over skills, and approaching work with a good attitude each day. And career options in hospitality are plentiful. There’s more to it – the U.S. Travel Association conducted research on 30 years of U.S. Labor Statistics. They found the following data on people who start their careers in tourism and hospitality:

- Nearly four in 10 (38%) Americans’ first job was in tourism. This fact spans across gender, race and ethnicity.

- For those whose first job is in hospitality will make more money over their working life than those in manufacturing and healthcare: an average of $82,400 by age 50, with higher earners reaching more than $125,000

- The industry is in the top 10

- The 6 million-plus Americans working part-time while pursuing higher education are employed in tourism and hospitality.

- They are more likely to become entrepreneurs, starting their own businesses, and the majority who do are women.

- It’s the No. 1 industry for those re-entering the workforce after an absence, such as raising a family or retiring. That’s what 31% of Americans did over the past 30 years.

Our tourism and hospitality businesses have been through rough times since March 2020. Lodging was closed down for nearly 3 months; restaurants could only do takeout; employees were laid off; event venues were shut down; museums were closed for nearly 18 months; volunteers stayed home. And yet, they have survived. Now, they have to limit hours and days open because they are short-staffed.

Consider joining this vital industry, which is so important to the economic health of our county and the vitality to our communities.

Children go on the hunt during pre-Easter fun

AREA CHILDREN were all smiles as they took part in an Easter Egg Hunt at Nestucca Valley K-8 School on Saturday, April 8, a longstanding tradition in South Tillamook County. In addition to going for a mad dash to collect their share of approximately 1,200 candy-filled eggs, they got the chance to pose for photos with the Easter Bunny, as well as, with the assistance of Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District staff and volunteers, take their turn at dousing a “mock” house fire.

A Tale of Fantastic Fun

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

Musical lovers will be transported into the magical and whimsical story of Shrek when Nestucca High School hosts its 53rd annual spring musical on the Nelson-Pimentel Stage in the school’s gymnasium. Performances will be May 3, 5 and 6 with a 10 a.m. matinee performance on May 3 and 7 p.m. evening shows on May 5 and 6. Tickets are available at nestucca.k12.or.us.

Based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion picture and book by William Steig, the tale follows the adventures of Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, Lord Farquaad and an assortment of fairytale creatures. The production also features an original score and live orchestra. Playing lead roles are Henry Trambley (Shrek), Lionel Brown (Donkey), Alinna Mendoza (Princess Fiona), AJ Johns (Lord Farquaad), Isa Flores (Dragon) and Rachel Gregory (Ogre Princess Fiona).

The cast of the musical is reportedly the school’s largest ever and includes approximately 60 students ranging from pre-kindergarteners to 12th graders.

The play is being directed by Kathleen Serven with Heidi Trambley serving as the play’s assistant director, and Kelli McMellon the play’s drama director.

Serven, who over her long career has directed 24 Nestucca musicals, told the Sun that the selection of Shrek as this year’s musical was partially so such a large cast could be employed and in part due its positive message.

“Kids have been requesting it for years, and I’ve even had some fellow staff requesting it,” she added. “It’s such a good time to have a comedy, but one with a good underlying message as well. (Until recently), I had never seen the musical itself — I’d only seen the movie. It wasn’t until I actually watched the Broadway version that I realized how much fun it was and the comedy of it and the message of loving everybody despite what the outward appearance is.”

She said part of the appeal also rests in its goofiness — especially when it comes to fairy tale characters.

“They pull some twists and turns that don’t really match the children’s story exactly,” she explained. “For example, the wolf is not a big, bad scary wolf. He’s wearing grandma’s nightgown, and he’s hilarious; the three little pigs all have a German accent; (and) the witch (is) not wicked and mean — she’s more like a sassy, classy lady who happens to be a witch.”

Serven also said the show represents a chance for the community to support the district’s students and get entertained in the process.

“I just hope people come and see our kids, our students, building that creative foundation and getting the fun back into the performing arts aspect of our education,” she said. “We’re trying to really promote that.”

She says musicals such as Shrek provide a great opportunity for a student’s enrichment.

“Acting, itself, is another realm that students can grow in and that can give them confidence,” Serven said. “I’ve had students that graduate that come back and have always said how much fun the musical was and how much it meant to them.

“There’s a difference between achieving something in a classroom skill and achieving something on a sports field. Those are great achievements, too, but achieving something in a performance (where) you made someone else laugh; you meant something to an entire audience of people — that is a really cool experience that they will remember forever.”

Tickets, in addition to being available online and by calling 503-3923194, extension 230, may be purchased at the door (subject to being sold out prior to the show). Admission is $10 for reserved seats (all ages), $8 for adult general seating, and $5 for student and senior general admission. There will also be Shrek-themed concessions available for purchase both pre-show and during intermission.

NESTUCCA HIGH SCHOOL’S production of Shrek the Musical will feature approximately 60 cast members when it takes to the stage May 3, 5 and 6. The production also features an original score and live orchestra. Pictured above (l-r) are: Henry Sousa (mouse), Lionel Brown (Donkey), Henry Trambley (Shrek), and Alinna Mendoza (Princess Fiona). At right is AJ Johns (Lord Farquaad). Pictured l-r in the partial cast photo below are: Carly Cook, Isa Flores, AJ Johns, Alinna Mendoza, Henry Trambley, Rachel Gregory, Lionel Brown, Lilly McDaniel, Ana Wehrley, ElsieMae Wehrley, Reese Sousa, and Henry Sousa.

Recreational ocean salmon fishing set to open coastwide in Oregon beginning mid-June

The Pacific Fisheries Management Council recently finalized the 2023 ocean salmon seasons, including the ocean waters off Oregon.

Columbia Basin hatchery coho salmon and Oregon Coast Natural coho mark bright spots with a third consecutive year of strong forecasted returns and season openings beginning midJune.

The PFMC recommended closure of all (recreational and commercial) Chinook salmon seasons in Oregon south of Cape Falcon prior to Sept. 1.

By Sept. 1, most Sacramento and Klamath river fall Chinook salmon stocks — the two stocks with severely low forecasted returns — have left the area from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, and Oregon’s coastal fall Chinook have begun staging near the coast where they will comprise most of the catch.

Recommended salmon seasons are not official until final approval by the National Marine Fisheries Service (expected by May 16), and after adoption (April 21 by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission) for waters within three nautical miles of shore.

The extremely low forecasted returns of the Sacramento and Klamath river fall Chinook salmon are constraining all seasons from Cape Falcon through California.

The PFMC also recommended a complete shutdown of all California salmon seasons. Low returns are the direct result of severe drought in California.

The PFMC recommended recreational season includes:

Ocean waters off the Columbia River from Leadbetter Point, Wash. to Cape Falcon, Ore.: Open to all salmon June 24 through the earlier of Sept. 30 or 79,800 adipose fin-clipped coho quota or the 11,490 Chinook guideline.

Daily bag limit: two salmon but no more than one can be Chinook, and coho must be fin-clipped.

Chinook minimum length: 22 inches; Coho minimum length: 16 inches.

Hatchery mark selective coho salmon, Cape Falcon to the Oregon/California border: Open June 17 through the earlier of Aug. 31 or the 110,000 adipose fin-clipped coho quota. The remainder of this quota may be rolled forward to either the recreational or commercial non-selective coho season in September on an impact neutral basis. First priority in this transfer will be to the recreational fishery as needed.

Daily bag limit: two salmon. All coho must have a healed adipose fin clip and Chinook retention is prohibited. Coho minimum length: 16 inches.

Non-selective coho salmon, Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain will be open daily Sept. 1 through the earlier of Sept. 30 or

the 25,000 non-mark selective coho quota.

Daily bag limit: two fish, only one of which can be a Chinook. Coho minimum length: 16 inches; Chinook minimum length: 24 inches. Open days may be adjusted in season.

Chinook salmon, Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain will be open Sept. 1 –Oct. 31 except as noted in the non-select coho season.

Season only open inside of 40-fathom management line in October. Daily bag limit: one Chinook salmon. Chinook minimum length: 24 inches.

All recreational anglers are limited to no more than two single barbless hooks per line when fishing for salmon, and for any species if salmon are on board the vessel.

The commercial troll salmon seasons north of Cape Falcon will again have limited Chinook quotas and be managed by quotas, season length, and vessel landing week limits. PFMC’s recommended commercial troll season inlcudes:

Early all-salmon except coho season, Leadbetter Point, Wash. to Cape Falcon:

Open May 1 through the earlier of June 29 or the overall quota of 26,000 Chinook (Cape Falcon to the U.S./Canada border), or the Leadbetter Point to Cape Falcon subarea cap of 6,040 Chinook. 60 chinook per vessel per landing per week (Thursday-Wednesday) and June 22-29.

Summer all-salmon north of Cape Falcon: Open July 1 through the earlier of Sept. 30 or the overall Chinook quota of 13,000 or the 30,400 fin-clipped coho quota. Landing and possession limit of 150 marked coho per vessel per landing week (Thursday-Wednesday). Landing limits will be evaluated weekly in-season.

Fall salmon season, Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain: Open Sept. 1 – Oct. 31 for Chinook salmon, 75 Chinook per vessel per landing week (Thursday-Wednesday). Sept. 1 through the earlier of Sept. 30 or the non-mark selective quota of 10,000 coho, 75 coho per vessel per landing week (ThursdayWednesday). Vessel limits may be modified in-season. Oct. 1-31 is limited to shoreward of the 40-fathom management line.

Lauded for Their Efforts

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District honors top performers in 2022 at its annual Awards Banquet

Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District honored staff and volunteers on April 15 at its Award and Special Recognition Banquet, for the 2022 calendar year. The event was held at Pacific City’s Kiawanda Community Center.

The gala featured award presentations and special recognitions that were administered by NRFPD Chief James Oeder, Deputy Chief Mickey Hays, and Division Chief Brian Jones. In attendance were NRFPD board members, its district chaplain, career paid staff and volunteer firefighters, friends, and family.

A “Special Recognition Award” was presented to volunteer Shamilee Chatelain, for her first response efforts in a Beaver residential fire where she put evacuation clearing of house members before her own safety. As a new volunteer to the district, Chatelain was credited with exhibiting the heroic character of a veteran firefighter.

District career paid firefighters, chiefs, and volunteer tenures were recognized with special pins for their number of years in the district — 1, 5, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years of service. And there was more — the “more” coming by recognizing volunteer John Eckhart’s tenure of 55 years. Jones was recognized and received an award for his 12.5-years of career dedication to NRFPD. “The Top 10” NRFPD – 911 volunteer responders were recognized with Roy Hansen (Pacific City Station-82) garnering 2022’s highest call response(s) of more than 100. Hansen was also presented a belated “Volunteer Officer of the Year” Award for 2021.

Outstanding Community Service recognition, an award category distributed for community-related activity, had multiple recipients. “Tuesday Stitchers” was recognized for their gift of handmade quilts, which they presented in 2022 to NRFPD’s paid staff, volunteers, board members, chaplain, and local Emergency Medical Support responders. Pacific City/Woods Citizen Advisory Committee Chair Bob Papke was recognized for his involvement in leading PCWCAC and for providing comprehensive communication to PCWCAC members. Headlands Lodge will receive an award for use of their facility for training NRFPD firefighters on elevator evacuation and building fire suppression, and for their generous support. Yellow Dog Espresso, of Hebo, and Burton’s Towing, of Tillamook, will be given their awards with recognition for their 2022 support of NRFPD in delivery of critical services in

emergency situations.

Other awards included Emergency Medical Support

– “EMS of the Year” (career staff Jeremy Neel, Hebo Station 87), “Volunteer EMS of the Year” (Ginger Slavens, Blaine-Station 86), “Career Officer of the Year” (Captain Matt Forte, Hebo Station-87), “Volunteer Officer of the Year” (Aaron Hagerty, Beaver Station-83), “Rookie Volunteer of the Year” (Grayson Spath, age 17, Blaine Station-86), Career “Firefighter of the Year” (Jeremy Neel, Hebo Station-87), “Volunteer of the Year” and “Volunteer Firefighter of the Year” (Dan Doyle, Pacific City Station-82).

Along with presentation of awards to recipients, Oeder,

NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT staff and volunteers (above) were lauded for their efforts in 2022 at the district’s recent banquet. They included (l-r) Chief Brian Jones, Ginger Slavens, Shamilee Chatelain, Aaron Hagerty, Grayson Spath, Matt Forte, Dan Doyle, Roy Hanson, and Jeremy Neel.

Hays, and Jones emphasized recognition to “all” NRFPD staff and volunteers for their dedication in minimizing the effects of adverse incidents to life, property, and the environment, and for their continued education, training, and teamwork in delivery of service to the community. NRFPD has served the public since 1949. The district coverage area encompasses 125 square miles between Tillamook and Lincoln City with six fire stations. In 2022, NRFPD responded to more than 1,000 911 response requests, the most active agency in Tillamook County, and is on pace in 2023 to exceed those numbers. The District also offers reciprocal mutual aid to Tillamook Fire and North Lincoln Fire.

ODFW awarded grant to fund research and creation of solutions to marine mammal disease threats

Last year, Oregon’s marine mammal stranding network documented more than 150 sick or dead sea lions on the coast with wildlife veterinarians confirming leptospirosis in all seven of the animals sampled and tested.

This naturally occurring bacteria is zoonotic meaning it can also infect people and put dogs, livestock, and other wildlife at risk. Leptospirosis is an ongoing problem throughout the West Coast where California sea lions and Stellar sea lions live.

ODFW recently received a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant to study this and similar zoonotic diseases in marine environments. The grant also creates the Eastern Pacific Marine One Health Coalition for the marine mammal health community to connect, partner, and share information and data.

“We need to address wildlife disease threats before they cross the line from animals to humans and become pandemics,” said Julia Burco, ODFW wildlife veterinarian and lead investigator on this project.

Burco highlights a recent example of this with avian influenza.

“This new strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus that’s been moving widely throughout wild birds and backyard poultry flocks is now starting to cause notable mortalities in some marine mammals in other parts of the world such as Caspian seals, Peruvian sea lions, and New England harbor and grey whales,” Burco said.

Burco believes the Coalition’s diverse experts and members will help ODFW tackle complex marine animal health issues

in the Eastern Pacific — some of which have the potential to affect people — and help wildlife through early detection and fast response to outbreaks.

The Eastern Pacific Marine One Health Coalition recently held its first of two annual workshops with the hope of these continuing beyond the grant funding timeline.

The group began working on ways to effectively share information, samples, and expertise. This will reportedly help create long-term datasets and encourage working together to understand critical issues such as the impacts of people and climate change on marine mammal health in the Eastern Pacific.

Project partners are the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the University of California, Los Angeles and EpiEcos.

WDFW is heavily involved in establishing the Coalition and regional zoonotic disease surveillance in marine mammals. UCLA investigator Dr. Katie Prager is an expert on the dynamics of leptospirosis in the marine ecosystem, disease ecology, and marine mammal health in general. EpiEcos investigator Terra Kelly is giving her expertise on zoonotic disease surveillance and data use to boost early disease threat detection.

The Coalition includes academic researchers, state and federal agencies, public health entities, the marine mammal stranding network, and non-profit organizations engaged in marine mammal health, stranding response, management, and research.

The USFWS grant runs through October 2024.

Giving His Career a Lift

Friends of Pacific City State Airport award Bob Rissel Flight Training Scholarship to Ripperkai Wright

By SALLY RISSEL

For the Sun

The Friends of Pacific City State Airport awarded its second Bob Rissel Flight Training Scholarship to Tillamook County Composite Squadron’s Cadet Airman Ripperkai Wright.The scholarship will help fund additional flight hours for Wright with the area’s local Farrier Aviation Flight School. C/ Amn Wright is 16 years old, has been attending ground school in Tillamook for a year, and has achieved his first rank in CAP. He attends Nestucca High School and maintains a high GPA. Wright already has several hours in the Farrier J-3 Cub. He plans to finish his license on his next birthday. His interest in aviation began with his greatgrandfather, who flew the B17 Fortresses. Farrier Aviation offers a unique opportunity for students to become involved in aviation after completing their ground school certificate. C/Amn Wright plans to pursue an aviation career.

The scholarship was presented on April 20 by Representative Cyrus Javadi at the KTMK Pilot Lounge at Tillamook

County Airport. Members of the Friends of Pacific City State Airport and Civil Air Patrol Commander Deborah Maynard observed the award presentation along with some of her ground school students, Civil Air Patrol Participants, and C/AMN Wrights’ proud mother and grandparents were in attendance.

Bob Rissel was a long-time resident of Pacific City and steward of the Pacific City airport who passed away in 2019. He was a private pilot, gaining his pilot’s license in the 1950s. He began as a crop duster in the South to earn enough money to gain flying time. After moving to Pacific City with his family in 1973, Bob became a part of the small aviation community and a Tillamook County Sheriff’s Air Patrol member. He was an avid aviation historian and volunteered as an Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum docent for many years. His wife, Sally Rissel, and the Friends of Pacific City State Airport developed the Bob Rissel Flight Training Scholarship to honor his long love of aviation and help young pilots earn their private pilot’s license.

Hebo Lake fishing event postponed until May

The family fishing event hosted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife scheduled for April 22 at Hebo Lake has been postponed due to storm damage at the Forest Service Hebo Lake Campground. The event has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 20, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Many of the fishing decks, facility structures and trails suffered damage from this winter’s storms and heavy snow. The site is currently closed and repairs will occur as access permits.

ODFW will provide equipment including rods, reels and bait during the event if needed. Angling education instructors and volunteers will be available to answer questions and offer assistance to less experienced anglers. Registration is not required.

Anglers ages 11 and under can fish for free, while those 12-17 will require a youth license, available for $10 at ODFW’s website (myodfw.com) and license agents. Adult anglers will need a regular fishing license. Licenses will not

be sold on-site the day of the event, so people planning to participate should get their licenses ahead of time.

“Although it’s close to the beach, Hebo Lake sits at an elevation of 1,650 feet so conditions vary quite a bit on the 3 ½ mile drive up from Highway 22,” said Ron Rehn, STEP biologist for ODFW’s North Coast Watershed. “Snow is not uncommon at the lake, but the coast range has seen a lot of snow this year and cooler temperatures are keeping it around.”

Stockings are planned as scheduled (access permitting) for April and May though numbers will be adjusted to account for the change of the event date.

Hebo Lake is a 2-acre lake located 3 ½ miles east of the Hebo Ranger Station on Hebo Mountain Road. From Hebo, take Highway 22 for a ¼ mile east, then turn left onto Forest Road 14. The Forest Service, which manages the lake and campground, will waive the $5 day use fee during this event. Overnight camping fees will continue to apply.

TCVA tourism signage grant program updated to include more tourism-related businesses

Tillamook Coast Visitors Association has $150,000 available in its Tourism Signage Grant program, which was established to assist tourism business owners with the cost of upgrading their signage.

Recent changes to the program expand eligibility to include tourism retail businesses and grocery stores.

“We are excited to announce the signage grant changes and encourage tourism businesses to partner with us to upgrade their outdoor permanent signage,” said Amy Blackburn, deputy director of TCVA. “We understand that the process may feel overwhelming, but we’re here to offer resources and assistance along the way.”

The program is open to businesses or nonprofits that provide goods and/or services to visitors including accommodations, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, and tourism-related retail establishments.

The business must be registered with the State of Oregon, be located in Tillamook County, and be in operation for at least three years. The grant will reimburse 50 percent of the signage project cost up to $10,000.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until funds are exhausted. In order to speed up the grant process, applications can be submitted without a sign permit to be considered for conditional approval.

“We changed the original application to remove the barrier of requiring outof-pocket costs prior to submitting an application,” Blackburn said. “This way, applicants will know if they are approved for funding prior to spending any money on the project.”

For more information on the signage grant program, visit tillamookcoast.com/ grants/tourism-signage-grant/ or contact Amy Blackburn at amy@tillamookcoast. com or 503-842-2672, extension 3.

Sammy’s Place is reintroducing creator and disability advocate Keith Jones to the Oregon Coast for his Universal Accessibility Tour: “Thinking Beyond the Ramp.” The tour will take place May 6-11, with stops in Clatsop, Tillamook, and Lincoln Counties.

“We are so pleased to have Keith Jones returning to the Oregon Coast to share his knowledge and advocacy with our community,” says Leah Halstead, board president of Sammy’s Place.

“There is so much that we can all learn from him about the intersectionality of race, disability, and access and how we can make our small, rural communities more accessible for everyone,” she added. “It is such a rare treat that a small community like our own could attract such an accomplished advocate.”

Sammy’s Place officials say that those interested in housing, education, employment, tourism, or any number of issues facing the community, are not going to want to miss out on the opportunity to meet Jones. Founder of SoulTouchin’ Experiences, Jones brings a perspective to the issues of access, inclusion, and empowerment which affect people with

disability as well as other marginalized communities. As an African American community activist and entrepreneur with cerebral palsy, Jones has been hailed as a strong advocate for independent quality living in the community.

“We are all aging into disability, so if it does not impact you now, it might someday,” says Halstead. “And if it does not impact you personally, someone you know is probably living with a disability, or will someday. That is why this tour is so important, to shed light on an issue that impacts all of us in this community.”

Sammy’s Place exists to give a voice to families and individuals living with disability, particularly intellectual and developmental disabilities. Serving the community since 2006, Sammy’s Place envisions a welcoming coastal region where everybody has what they need to fully participate and thrive in their community of choice.
