he Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue District (NBFRD) Board of Directors announced on Tuesday, July 9 that long-time NBFRD Fire Chief Perry Sherbaugh will retire. Division Chief Chris Beswick has been officially chosen as his replacement. Chief Sherbaugh has served as fire chief since the District’s first year of operation in 2009. He began his career as a volunteer firefighter with the City of Manzanita in 1987 and hired full time in 1994 as a police officer and fire chief for the city. In 1998, he was promoted to public safety chief for both fire and police. During his tenure as NBFRD Fire Chief, Sherbaugh was instrumental in modernizing the District’s fleet, building two new fire stations, and professionalizing service delivery through enhanced fire and medical training for both volunteers and for full-time employees. “We are going to miss the chief. He is a well-known and trusted

mayor. Wilson moved to Rockaway Beach in 2005. In 2007, she entered politics. She was elected to the council and ultimately ran for reelection four years later for the next term. She was subsequently voted president of the council, which is the person who steps up to lead the meeting when the mayor is absent. This helped Wilson step into the role of mayor. “There is a learning curve,” said Wilson. “I’m learning more and more every day.” New Rockaway Beach Mayor Sue Wilson rides in the annual Rockaway Beach Parade.

Garibaldi this year was packed. Wilson thinks the train ride was a great idea because people didn’t have to worry about the parking situation and could even stay on the train to watch fireworks if they wished. At the end of her time as mayor, Wilson wants to believe that she made a difference. One of her major goals is the completion of the Nature Preserve Trail. The Walkway just had their grand opening on June 15. A grant from the Department of Land Conservancy and Development paid for a deck to be built around the giant Western Red Cedar, which helps protect the tree and its roots. Working with the department heads is Wilson’s favorite part about being the mayor. She likes being on the ground floor on making decisions. She meets with the City Manager the week before a meeting so that everything will be ready for the next meeting. The next election for mayor is in November 2020. Wilson isn’t sure if she will reelect or not. She owns a business in the town and is just beginning a new adventure with her daughter: a waffle food truck that will serve different variations of waffles. She will be serving these at the Tillamook County Fair this year.

EVCNB: Wheeler Supports LNCT acquires Bott’s Marsh Staff Report Preparedness I A
t’s OFFICIAL! After nearly 40 years of effort by the community to protect Botts Marsh it has finally come to fruition. On June 24, Botts Marsh was acquired by Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT). This acquisition would not have happened without the persistent work by the community to protect the 30-acre salt water marsh from development. Special thanks is due to the North Coast Land Conservancy who, earlier this year, partnered with Craft 3, a regional nonprofit, who provided a bridge loan to purchase the property, allowing time for LNCT to complete Federal and State grant requirements. The acquisition of Botts Marsh is a part of the LNCT effort to “Protect the Edge” of Nehalem Bay. Botts Marsh is an intact salt marsh that provides habitat for more than 125 species of birds and is a critical rearing habitat for Chinook and Coho salmon. Conservation of the marsh also provides
ccording to attendees, Wheeler ’s First Annual Community Picnic on Saturday, July 6th, was a big success. More than a hundred local residents, kids, dogs and volunteers gathered in Wheeler ’s Upper Park to greet neighbors old and new. Sponsored by a group associated with the Prepare Your Neighborhood program of EVCNB (Emergency Volunteer Corp of Nehalem Bay), the Picnic exceeded their goals for participation and helped raised awareness – getting precious information to households, supporting families in doing easy (even fun) things to become more prepared for any emergency. EVCNB President Linda Kozlowski says, “This was a terrific event to help neighbors know each other better. The recent fire and earthquake events in California make all of us ask, ‘What would MY neighborhood do if all
of us were in the same emergency?’ Picnickers were able to learn more about the important, but limited, ways that their City and County might be able to help – and what public agencies can NOT do. Individuals need to do small but very important things to respond effectively. Just knowing your neighbors and having some food and water set aside can really help!” Attendees gathered under warm skies to enjoy the world-class views, hot dogs, games and globally renowned Tillamook Ice Cream bars. Local EVCNB organizer, Paul Knight, said, “We are so grateful for the support shown by local and area businesses. The Tillamook County Creamery Association was particularly generous and helpful. ‘It takes a village’ isn’t just important for survival in a major disaster. It works for community picnics, too!” laughs Knight.
Nearly every business in Wheeler offered terrific prizes for our drawings.” Wheeler Mayor, Stevie Burden, was also thrilled. “This was a great community event. I’d love to see more events like this one throughout the entire county. Just knowing one another can help communities thrive in new ways that benefit everyone. Awesome ice cream, too!” “Next time we’ll prepare for twice as many people! It was really fun seeing neighbors connect,” says Knight. “We want future events like this one to be something that everyone looks forward to!” If you’d like more information about how to prepare your family, yourself and your neighborhood, visit the EVCNB website at : http:// evcnb.org or contact: Paul.knight@evcnb.org or 503-730-2421.

Four rescued from rip current in Razor clamming closed on Clatsop Beaches July 15-Sept. 30 Rockaway Beach he annual summer conservation closure for razor clams begins Monday, July 15 and runs through Sept. 30 on Clatsop beaches (from Tillamook Head in Seaside to the mouth of the Columbia River). The regulation has been in place since 1967 and closes razor clam harvesting on the 18 miles of beach north of Tillamook Head. By protecting newly-set young clams from harvesters, the closure gives young clams a chance to establish themselves on the beach during summer. Razor clam stock assessments are also completed by ODFW during the closure period. Last year, assessments showed that clams were too small (2-3 inches) to be harvested by commercial clammers, or desired by recreational clammers. The annual closure was extended until
spring 2019 to allow the clams to grow. Razor clams grew as anticipated during the extended closure and ODFW shellfish staff continued to monitor the growth when the season opened in spring of 2019. By the middle of May 2019, razor clams on Clatsop Beach averaged 4 inches and clammers were having great success throughout the rest of the season, averaging over 12 clams per person. Clatsop beaches are the most productive razor clam beaches in the state, accounting for more than 90 percent of total harvest. “We want to ensure that the Clatsop beaches continue to provide a great opportunity for razor clam harvesters,” said Matt Hunter, ODFW’s Shellfish and Phytoplankton Project leader. “Not disturbing the young razor clams
increases the chance of good recruitment, so we thank everyone for respecting this annual closure.” Harvest for razor clams continues to be open on other state beaches though a few closures are in effect due to toxin levels. (Currently, razor clamming is closed from Cape Blanco to the California border due to elevated levels of domoic acid toxin; see ODA’s Recreation Shellfish page for latest information.) The best opportunities outside Clatsop beaches are in the Newport area, with the most consistent producers being Agate Beach, North Jetty and South Beach. Other beaches that can produce razor clams include Cannon Beach, Cape Meares and Yachats Beach. Bay clam harvesting is currently open coastwide.

Guest Column CITY HALL ISSUES The mood of the audience attending the July 12 Pine Grove Community Meeting to discuss the new City Hall should cause the Mayor and Council some concern. Based on the Mayor ’s representation at the previous June 28 meeting which he concluded by questioning whether citizens were willing to spend 6-7 million dollars on such a large facility, he promised to work to convince City staff that the building square footage needed to be reduced and that he would get the price down so that a more affordable Bond could be presented to the taxpayers. None of that happened and the audience sat through another design review by the architect that basically repeated what was originally presented. The reality is that the excitement of the pretty picture phase of this project is over, and the Mayor and Council have no definitive answers on how they plan to seek to finance this 11,776 sq. ft. project. We did learn that this is the design that the Council has determined to be in your best interests, there will be no other options considered, that this is the result of two years of very trying Council work involving many public meetings that citizens should have been attending if they wanted to
know what was going on and once they figure out how they plan to pay for it, the Council will let you know. During the year long Public Facility Advisory Committee work on this project, ex City Councilor Scott Galvin worked directly with the Committee and suggested several times that we reach out to citizens and gather some information as to how much they were willing to spend on this facility. I supported this idea as it could help frame the financial planning portion of the Committee’s recommendation to the City Council. The City Council was not interested in getting this feedback from citizens. In response to a citizen question on how the City was paying off the loan on the Underhill property, the Mayor said that short term rental revenue was paying for the property purchase. This is simply untrue. STR revenues are collected by the General Fund and are used to pay for a wide variety of General Fund activities and are not earmarked for any particular expenditure. Claiming that short term renters are paying for the Underhill property is yet another example of the misrepresentation of facts that have plagued this project and have brought us to this present point of uncertainty, confusion and trust in believing what
MANZANITA Please visit hoffmanarts.org for more information on these events. 503-368-3846 • e-mail info@hoffmanarts.org. 594 Laneda Ave., Manzanita The Hoffman Center for the Arts is a non-profit public benefit charity, qualified under IRS Section 501(c)3.
City officials tell us. The main design feature that is driving the cost and size of the building is the 3,636 sq. ft. Council Chamber/ Meeting space. This space alone is about 20% larger than the entire present City Hall and will cost between $1.8 and $2.2 million dollars. Citizens listened to passionate arguments by Council members that this space would serve as a shelter location for citizens in the event of a disaster. We were further told that Manzanita as the community leader of north county, must continue to take the lead in advocating for and providing public services to all north county residents including our seasonal visitors. What was not said but must be concluded is that such community leadership comes with a price tag and that price will be exclusively paid by Manzanita taxpayers in this case. Again, using the City’s own consultant’s costs supplemented with actual local contractor estimates, a remodel option for the school creating 9,758 sq. ft. of total space for approximately $2.5 million dollars was presented as an option to the City Council. The existing school would be expanded with identified structural deficiencies totally rebuilt to a Class 3 seismic structure rating with the Quonset hut serving as the emergency
hub and emergency shelter/storage space. The City Council determined that citizens would not be allowed to even consider this as an option as it might prove to be preferable to their new build choices. During the meeting the architect volunteered that in his opinion a remodel would cost just as much as building new. After the meeting, a citizen asked the architect if he had read the City’s WRK engineering report on the cost to recondition the school. He replied that he had not read the report. This puts his opinion at odds with the structural engineer who produced the report thus calling into question Mr. Steele’s conclusion that this particular remodel would be as expensive as the proposed design being presented. It is obvious why the City did not want to allow citizens to see a remodel option face off in a direct comparison to their preferred new build choice. Imagine Mr. Steele describing both options side by side in the pretty picture phase just concluded. Then imagine the Mayor and Council presenting the costs for both projects but no longer being able to rely on describing the school in the negative terms it has done up to this point. While giving citizens that opportunity has been the only request that I and Committee member Lee Hillenbrand

The discussion on how to create an effective and equitable means for paying for emergency preparedness for north county is beyond the scope of this response. I would however suggest that placing that responsibility on Manzanita taxpayers and attempting to implement that goal through the non existent financing strategy of this project is far beyond the scope of what citizens were led to believe when the City purchased the Underhill property.

Guest Column Differing perceptions, critical thoughts
T
hough the 2019 legislative session wrapped up June 30th, deciphering just what happened (or didn’t happen) and the repercussions of those actions and inactions may drag on for years. How we perceive and discuss what happened will influence our memories, many of which are already archived on social media. The practice of attempting to ram thousands of bills through two distinctly differing bodies is chaotic. Much of the attention was dominated by cap-and-trade legislation, which had been rebranded cap-and-invest or Clean Energy Jobs bills during the past few years. Decisions made on school funding, PERS financing, plastic bags, straws, and Styrofoam take-out containers resulted in contentious floor votes in both chambers, while other very worthy bills died in committees. No one in the legislature was elected with 100% of the vote. When we don’t agree with their choices, we accuse them of either rewarding the supporters who helped get them elected or catering to other interests. A common argument is expecting them to represent their entire constituency. So how does that really work? Are constituents counted the same? This year thousands of activists descended on Salem. On at least four days activists from Tillamook County joined others from throughout the state to lobby on behalf of HB2020. When meeting their representatives, they often began with the phrase “I voted for you because …” I was also in Salem the day of the #TimberUnity rally,
www.NorthCoastCitizen.com
when several Tillamook County activists joined others to drive their trucks around the capitol and demand a “NO” vote on HB2020. I listened to a House representative criticize the Democratic leadership of the House for avoiding their constituents by not convening a session, even as the Republican senators remained out of state in their shutdown of the Senate. When I observed a few of these activists visit their senators, I noticed that they often began with the phrase “I live in …, and you need to represent your entire district.” I also noticed how many people removed their hats as they entered the capitol building, though they left them on while talking to their legislators. The legislative session may be over, but the issue is not resolved. The question is still up in the air whether Oregon will ignore the climate crisis to which we contribute, or search for a different way to do our part in ensuring that our planet remains habitable. Also unknown is whether we will address dozens of other issues that never made it through this year, and how the voters will respond to issues referred to the ballot boxes. A first step in achieving clarity would be to better understand what happened this session, and what was left by the wayside. There will be real interaction with the state legislators representing Tillamook County at the Political Pie Party on Thursday, July 25th at Tillamook Bay Community College. This is a great place to get educated on what happened.
10th anniversary tour for Fishing for Energy program Hilary Dorsey

N
OAA, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Covanta Corporation are celebrating their 10th Anniversary Celebration on July 30 at the Port of Garibaldi, at the Tillamook coastal port at 10 a.m. Their Fishing for Energy program has removed nearly 4 million pounds of fishing gear at bins placed in 55 communities along the nation’s coasts. Through June 2018, the Fishing for Energy partnership has provided removal services at 55 ports in 12 states, collecting nearly 4 million pounds of fishing gear. Gear collected at the Port of Garibaldi is first sorted and the remaining non-recyclable material is converted into energy at Covanta Energy locations, including the Marion Energy from Waste Facility. In total, Fishing for Energy has awarded
$3.77 million in grants to over 40 projects in 19 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, generating $1,532,000 in grantee match. Lost or derelict fishing gear has been identified as one of the major types of debris impacting the marine environment. Every year, marine species from lobsters and fish to sea lions and birds, become trapped or entangled in lost, abandoned or discard-
ed fishing gear. This gear, from fishing lines to nets and pots, continues to capture fish and wildlife while at sea or “ghost fishing.” On July 30, there will be a port tour to see the collection bin – and how fishermen recycle – that helps provide removal services at the Garibaldi pier, identified as a convenient and strategic location where commercial and recreational anglers can more

he Tillamook County Fire Defense Board, in conjunction with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), will enter into a countrywide burn ban on all open debris pile burning on July 15. On August 1, the county will enter a total burn ban off all burning,
including burn barrels Residents are encouraged to plan ahead and complete all burning prior to the ban. In Tillamook County, for the general public, burning permits are required for residents that live within a City Fire Department District or Rural Fire Protection District. They will need to contact their local fire department for burn permit requirements.
In the remainder of Tillamook County, the ODF issues burning permits once fire season has been declared. There is no fee for the burn permit, but an onsite inspection with the land owner is performed prior to issuing a permit. Information about burning permits and how to obtain a permit for Tillamook District is available by calling the Oregon ODF at 503-

Whenever you use fire, whether for debris burning or for a campfire, use these steps: Never leave your fire unattended, always have a hose and shovel at the fire to prevent the fire from spreading, and check with your local fire protection agency prior to burning. The ban does not include permitted campfires and campfires in designated sites. Campfires on the beach must be at least 50 feet away from vegetation and any driftwood concentrations.

Boone, a resident of Seaside, represented District 32 for 14 years until she stepped down in early 2019. During her tenure she was a leader in emergency preparedness throughout the state. “Deborah is a true advocate for disaster planning, and is a wonderful addition to our board,” said EVCNB president Linda Kozlowski. “We couldn’t ask for anybody more knowledgeable about both preparedness and the workings of State government. She was in Salem for several years and made a real difference.” Boone’s signature legislation was HR-3, which created the Oregon Resilience Plan. Once the plan was developed and implemented, she sponsored a bill to create and fund the Office of Resilience within the Governor’s cabinet. Boone also helped cre-
ate the “Cascadia Playbook,” a guide to statewide emergency response to a massive earthquake and tsunami. Other bills were put forward to improve State resilience to be prepared for, withstand, and respond to many kinds of disasters. Boone also helped procure funding for sea floor mapping/tsunami modeling, fisheries and near-shore habitat research, navigational chart updating, plus ocean energy projects, energy issues and legislation to enabling coastal communities to be on a more level playing field when it came to restoring power after a disaster. She also worked with a consortium of five western U.S. states and five Canadian provinces on resilience and disaster preparedness issues. “I believe I can use my experience in the legislative assembly to be a valuable member of the board,” said Boone. “Deborah has been a long-term supporter of the Emergency Volunteer Corps, and we are excited to have her on the team,” said Kozlowski.

he Oregon Health Authority (OHA) announced its intent to award contracts to the coordinated care organization that, for the next five years, will manage health care services for Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) members. CareOregon’s own CCO, Columbia Pacific CCO, received word that OHA intends to renew its contract to continue administering managed Medicaid health coverage for its 24,000 members along the northern coast of Oregon. CareOregon is a nonprofit community benefits company involved in health plan services, reforms, and innovations since 1994. The nonprofit serves more than 275,000 Oregon Health Plan/ Medicaid and Medicare members. “We have a strong network of providers who partner with us for clinical innovation and integration and we work closely with members and community leaders to develop and implement our five-year Regional Health Improvement Plan,” said Columbia Pacific CEO Mimi Haley in a press release. “These partnerships are critical in propelling us ever forward to realize health transformation and investments in our rural communities. We are achieving excellent outcomes and integrated, coordinated care for our members.” Haley added that Columbia Pacific CCO is the only CCO serving northern coastal Oregon. “Our work in rural,

northwest Oregon brings to light the importance of whole person health, whether our services are for physical or behavioral or dental health,” said Eric C. Hunter, President and CEO of CareOregon. “This work well serves the thousands of managed Medicaid patients in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook Counties, and we are as committed as ever to improving the health among our most vulnerable neighbors.” As the new CCO 2.0 emerges, Columbia Pacific CCO and its providers will continue their commitment to improving patient experience, improving population health and reducing costs. Additionally, Columbia Pacific CCO is addressing the social determinant of health, including disparity and accessibility of care. “The work we’ve done together with our CCOs and partners, and that CareOregon has been doing since before CCOs were created, makes us well positioned to implement the policy goals that define CCO 2.0,” said Hunter. “We know that we will succeed in achieving these goals, because they are the right thing to do, and we have been working on them for years. This is our 25th anniversary year, and based on that experience, we expect to continue to meet and exceed the expectation our members and our friends and neighbors have had for us, for at least the next 25.” The new contracts will be effective January 1, 2020.
