evenues from Tillamook County’s Transient Lodging Tax have been higher than anticipated for the first half of the year, boosting financial prospects for the county’s new tourism initiative and road system.

Figures unveiled at the Aug. 12 meeting of the county’s Tourism Advisory Committee indicate that TLT revenues for 2014 could top $2.1 million, with a potential of reaching $2.5 million or more. Those numbers are up significantly from the $1.4 million that was estimated when voters approved the tax last November.

The projections were provided by TAC member Gene Tish of Garibaldi and Pacific City resident Doug Olson, the board chair of the county’s EcoPhoto by Scott Gilbert nomic Development Council, which is TOURISM ADVISORY COMMITTEE member Gene Tish, owner of the Garibaldi responsible for the tourism initiative.

NESTUCCA VALLEY COMMUNITY ALLIANCE’S August 16 open house drew interested citizens to share their hopes and dreams for a planned 2.4-acre community park. Freedom Joel Caps Jacob, 12, of Sand Lake, was one of several who shared his ideas for the proposed park.

Planning for a Park NVCA collects wish list for upcoming park, plans for detailed online survey

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he Nestucca Valley Community Alliance heard community hopes and dreams for a new 2.4-acre community park from nearly 30 concerned citizens of all ages during its Aug. 16 open house at Kiawanda Community Center.

Tops on the wish list were requests for an already planned for skate park, as well as suggestions of courts for basketball, tennis, volleyball and badminton.

Other suggestions that were in the mix included a BMX track and horseshoes.

Within the next two weeks, the NVCA hopes to release a more in-depth online survey hosted by Survey Monkey.

NVCA president Gloria Scullin told the Sun that the goal of that survey will be to elicit information that will be useful to an eventual park and skate park designer.

“We want to get the survey to the people in the community and in the valley, (as well as) people that own property here and people that visit,” she said.

The group closed its Request for Proposal for a landscape designer for

the park on Aug. 21, with a decision forthcoming.

Current plans for the park, which might yet be altered depending on requests from the community and from out-of-the-area users, include a skate park, picnic benches, playgrounds for both children and adults, outdoor amphitheater, interpretative center, and trailhead access to BLM land. Though about 80 parking spaces are drawn in the current plan, Scullin believes that number may be more than the park needs.

“If we (put in) 40 or 50 parking spaces, it would probably be adequate,” she said.

Survey responses aren’t the only thing the group is looking for. They are also searching for community members who can devote time to a myriad of committees that will do work behind the scenes — including the Park Development Committee, Site Planning Committee and Fundraising Committee. The NVCA is also seeking individuals interested in running for board positions. For more information, visit www.nestucca. org or send an email to nvcainfo@gmail. com.

All’s ‘Fair’ with the Lions

By VERNE MOBLEY Lions Club President

Hello to all our friends here in Tillamook County and many more in various states of our nation who receive the Pacific City Sun in their mailbox or at newsstands. We Lions appreciate the coverage we get from doing business with Tim and Vicky at the Sun. Did you know that Lion Bill Rock has one brand new knee? The operation was successful and Bill feels so good he’s thinking of going back to his farm that their daughter Amy and Rob Seymour own now and start milking again. That is feeling GOOD. Our final report for this year’s elephant ears from “wagon boss” Jim Dieringer showed a profit of just over $4,000. Good work, Lions!

Lions Corrine Peratore, Fran Madachy, Jim Dieringer, Verne & Pat Mobley, Lea Traxler and grandson Kit, and Paul & Sandy Hanneman took care of the information booth at the Tillamook County Fair on Thursday and Saturday. We had all kinds of good info including how to get to the baby changing station in the room back of the booth.

We Lions will be reporting once a month in the Sun to let you all know how much fun we have being Lions.

At our next meeting, Randy Wharton will be our speaker. He will let us know how things are shaping up for the new school year.

Lion Pat and I will be heading up to Sherman County soon for a weekend. Yours truly has been the auctioneer at that fair for 30 years now. When time flies, we must be having fun.

We will visit again in September. To become a member, call me at 503-392-4436.

Planning Commission OKs development limits County commissioners will have final say on Neskowin land use proposal

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

D

espite some misgivings about burdens placed on property owners, six members of the Tillamook County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Neskowin Coastal Erosion Adaptation Plan at the panel’s Aug. 14 meeting.

A final decision on the plan will be made by the county commissioners at a date that was not specified at the time of the meeting. The Planning Commission forwarded a handful of requests to the commissioners to soften some of the impact on property owners in the coastal hazard area, a strip at risk of storm damage that runs nearly the full length of Neskowin’s oceanfront.

The commission, with member Susan Emerson absent, considered the plan in the second of two lengthy meetings before arriving at the 6-0 vote. The matter was continued from the initial meeting on July 10 because some mapping discrepancies in the southern part of the hazard zone had been noted. Spoken comments from the public were closed at the end of the July 10 meeting.

“I get that this is a financial burden on homeowners,” said commission member Gale Ousele, who has also served on the Neskowin Coastal Hazards Committee that gave rise to the plan. “But I also get that I’m not allowed to build the way I might like to build because we have building codes, because we decided that was a good idea, because people don’t always make good decisions.”

If the commissioners approve the plan, there would be new limits on development in the hazard area that would affect new construction, improvements topping 50 percent of a structure’s value, and post-damage reconstruction topping 80 percent of value.

Under the land-division portion of the plan as amended, new lots and parcels must have a building site of at least 1,500 square feet outside the “overlay zone” at risk of storm damage, with the exception that one new lot or parcel — divided either from vacant land or land with a home outside the zone — could be used for a new single-family home in the overlay zone.

While the plan forwarded to the county commissioners remained unchanged except for some clarifying amendments, the Planning Commission called for some tweaks prior to any final approval. One sugges-

tion would lift the proposed prohibition on slab-ongrade construction in the overlay zone, while keeping the requirement that any new structures must be movable. Another suggestion would change all areas of the plan that would limit development to singlefamily dwellings; the upshot would allow multi-family dwellings within the plan’s restrictions, provided that they are permitted by the underlying zoning for any particular area. Without that change, the plan in its current form would not guarantee the right to replace damaged multi-family dwellings in the overlay zone.

Planning Commission members frequently aired their reluctance to limit the existing rights of property owners in the affected area, but in the end came down in favor of the plan that was driven by safety concerns over the severe coastal erosion eating away Neskowin’s oceanfront.

“I just feel like some people are getting shortchanged on this,” said member Candice Leonard.

“If I had a piece of property down there I would probably be seriously concerned,” said chairman Kurt Heckeroth.

“It is a financial burden,” Ousele said, joining others on the panel in expressing concern for the effect on property owners, but she added: “Land use ordinances do change. I hope they change because we get smarter.”

“Short of throwing out our whole system of land use ordinances, I don’t know how to get around that,” Ousele said. “It’s what we do. It’s what we’ve decided as a culture to do.”

The plan would require a new Coastal Hazard Zone permit for construction in the overlay zone, with the possibility of an exemption from the restrictions if owners can show cause. It also would mandate a “safest site” standard, which would limit construction to the part of a lot identified as the safest location to avoid damage.

A setback requirement for building sites would be a distance from bluff edges of 50 times the annual erosion rate plus 20 feet, unless a geologic report called for a greater distance. Tighter standards would also be set for runoff and drainage controls.

Heckeroth, in appealing for a calm approach at the beginning of the meeting, noted that the Planning Commission only makes recommendations, with the final decision in the hands of the county commissioners. “This meeting is not the last public meeting this issue’s going to have,” he said.

Whittling Down the List EDC to interview five finalists for tourism director

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

T

he “Visit Tillamook Coast” tourism initiative, funded by the voterapproved Transient Lodging Tax, consumed most of the monthly meeting of the county’s Economic Development Council board on Aug. 19.

In another matter, as the meeting drew to a close, Dan Biggs announced he will be leaving his posts as executive director of the EDC and the Tillamook Small Business Development Center at the end of the year.

The public-private EDC has a threeyear contract with the county to administer the tourism drive, and board chair Doug Olson told the gathering that the search for a long-term director for Visit Tillamook Coast will result in face-toface interviews with five applicants from Sept. 8-10.

Three of the finalists are Oregonians, one is from California and one is from South Carolina. Interviewees’ travel expenses will be paid, and in-state applicants will receive one night of lodging, while the two hopefuls from out of state will receive two nights’ lodging.

The EDC board voted 5-1 to approve Visit Tillamook Coast’s logo, prepared by branding firm Total Destination Marketing of Tualatin. The vote was based on passing around a small hard-copy image of the logo, criss-crossed with word balloons indicating final changes in the design, which shows a stylized rendering of the Twin Rocks formation off Rockaway Beach and the words “Tillamook Coast / it’s the natural choice.”

“I guess we should have put that in the packet” that goes out to board members prior to the meeting, Olson said as members prepared to give the logo a brief look. He said the logo is “what goes on the coffee mugs and the T-shirts and everything else, eventually.”

Tillamook Mayor Suzanne Weber cast the sole vote against the logo. She has been outspoken in previous gatherings in decrying what she sees as a disproportionate focus on the county’s coastal fringe.

Interim tourism-project coordinator John Hope-Johnstone of Corvallis, whose contract has been extended two months through the end of October due to difficulties in finding qualified applicants for the long-term director’s post, gave a presentation on a six-month marketing plan by his company, HPR Internet Marketing.

The EDC board approved the plan with its $130,000 price tag, about half of which is taken up by costs already approved for such things as the director’s salary, a benchmarking study and website development. Video productions listed in the marketing plan include two commercials to run on Comcast cable from the Portland area south to Salem, plus one broadcast station. Two longer

videos will be created for the website and other uses.

Silverman Studios, based in the Corvallis suburb of Philomath, will produce those commercials and videos. “Their work is spectacular,” Hope-Johnstone said, noting that plans call for the company to use its “very large, expensive drone” to shoot dramatic footage in areas such as Munson Falls.

Other video plans call for the use of “instream” ads that will appear at the beginning of online videos, and a separate travel production that will be shot locally in September and October for airing in December.

Tillamook Design, the local company creating Visit Tillamook Coast’s website, is also responsible for running the project’s Facebook page, which Hope-Johnstone said is a crucial part of marketing. It’s likely that most followers of the Facebook page will be locals or former residents, he said, stressing the importance of locals knowing about tourism assets.

“There is nothing worse than somebody coming into Tillamook County and saying, ‘What is there to do here?’ and somebody at a restaurant saying, ‘I don’t know, we go to Portland,’” he said.

In other business, the EDC board added its support to a letter from Oregon’s two senators and Congressman Kurt Schrader, urging the Federal Highway Administration to approve an $18.2 million plan to reroute and reopen the Cape Meares Loop road, closed since January 2013 due to a slow-moving landslide. The closure north of Oceanside has cut off a portion of the Three Capes Scenic Drive, a popular tourist attraction that stretches north from Pacific City. The federal agency has been leaning toward a cheaper repair of the road along its existing alignment, but concerns that the fix would be a temporary Band-Aid have driven the county to enlist help in its fight to have the federal government provide the more costly solution.

At the end of the meeting, Biggs announced that his three-year tenure as EDC and SBDC executive director is heading toward a conclusion on Dec. 31, as he moves on to investment opportunities and a still-undefined plan to work on a contract basis for the SBDC, which counsels small businesses.

The four-and-a-half-month headsup is intended “to give the board enough time to search for another director, so that during this period we can maintain all the EDC and SBDC activities so we can make a smooth transition to the next director,” Biggs said.

“I’ve really enjoyed the three years that I’ve been here in Tillamook,” he said.

“I’ve met a lot of wonderful people and we’ve accomplished an awful lot, including the passage of the TLT, and we’ve helped more than a hundred businesses through the Small Business Development Center.”

Mariners thankful for installation of whistle buoy, placed by Coast Guard on Aug. 19

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he U.S. Coast Guard replaced the Cape Kiwanda bell buoy with a refurbished whistle buoy on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

The change came on the heels of complaints by many dorymen that the bell buoy was unreliable. The Coast Guard also considered comments from a June 5 public meeting on the issue in Pacific City during which there was a mix of support and concern. At that time, many residents remembered well the last time a whistle buoy had been placed — in 2010 — and decried what they said sounded like a “sick cow.”

Public outcry eventually persuaded the Coast Guard to return a bell buoy, but that change elicited complaints from dorymen who said that the bell buoy was not loud enough and often didn’t work — especially when sea lions climbed aboard.

Though the Sun reached out to a handful of Pacific City residents that have publicly voiced their concern about the previous whistle buoy, they either had not yet heard the device or

they were taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Initial reviews from doryman have been positive.

“The sound (of the newly placed whistle buoy) is more typical of the big major ports up and down the coast and is fairly pleasant,” said Paul Hanneman, co-chair of the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association.

Fellow Dorymen’s Association co-chair Craig Wenrick said he’s hopeful that this new buoy will both meet mariner’s needs and not be offensive to residents who are trying to get a good night’s sleep. Wenrick, who was fishing off Cape Kiwanda on the day after the installation, told the Sun that “it sounded like a regular whistle buoy” absent the infamous “sick cow” sound.

He also noted that even with a sea lion perched on it, it still sounded off.

“It should do what the mariners hope it will do,” he said. “When we get in a fog, we’ll be able to hear it. It should be making noise all the time — not just when sea lions aren’t on it. My wish is that it will be quieter so people can sleep and the controversy will be put to rest once and for all.”

READY, SET GO! Runners take-off at the fifth annual Cedar Creek Challenge, a fundraiser for the Cedar Creek Child Care Center that was held on Aug. 10 on the beach at Cape Kiwanda.

Quite a Challenge

t was a bright sunny day on Aug. 10 when folks gathered on the beach at Cape Kiwanda for the fifth annual Cedar Creek Beach Challenge. The fundraising event is an effort by Cedar Creek Child Care Center and includes a kid’s run, 5K and 10K. Runners gathered behind Pelican Pub and Brewery for the start of the race, which this year included a hill climb.

This year, Beaverton resident Carolyn Jerns returned to again win the women’s 5K. This is her second consecutive win.

“It’s a fun course,” she said.

The 41-year-old mom is a life-long runner and she has shared her passion with her family. Jern’s 8-year-old son, Jacob Bastic, won the children’s run.

Kyle Brodrick of Eugene, 21 years old, won the men’s 5K event.

“I feel great,” he said. “I go to the University of Oregon, it’s a running town. I didn’t get into running until I went to college.”

The marketing major runs just for fun, he said.

Men’s 10K winner, Josh Moscow, 22, was in Pacific City vacationing when he heard about the event. Moscow is from Washington D.C. where he works for a United States senator.

“Running is my hobby,” said the recent college graduate.

It was his first time to run a 10K and the first time to win.

He is preparing to run a marathon later this year and said he decided to give the 10K a go.

Newport resident, Chelsey Bowan, was the women’s 10K winner. The 27-year-old runner works at Nana’s Irish Pub and runs three to four times a week.

“This is the first 10K I’ve ever won, ever run. It feels great, I plan on running more 10Ks,” Bowan said.

Top finishers in each age group category include: Jacob Bostic, 3:41 (boys’ children’s run); Kate Hagerty, 4:23 (girls’ children’s run); Matthew Peters, 51:03 (10K, ages 1-19); Taylor Kreul, 59:40 (women’s 10K, ages 1-19); Joshua Moscow, 48:44 (10K, ages 20-29); Chelsea Bowen, 50:42 (women’s 10K, ages 20-29); Paul Schreve, 53.38 (10k, ages 30-39); Jynelle Mellen, 56:43 (women’s 10K, ages 30-39); Katy London, 58:53 (women’s 10K, ages 40-49); Luann Anderson, 1:02:05 (women’s 10K, ages 50-59); Joe Wilkinson (5K, ages 1-19); Jillian Wilkinson, 27:07 (girls’ 5K, ages 1-19); Kyle Broderick, 23:38 (5K, ages 20-29); Nicole Brittingham, 25:52 (women’s 5K, ages 20-29); John Gordon, 27:27 (5K, ages 30-39); Amy Skiftun, 29:34 (women’s 5K, ages 30-39); Mark German, 31:53 (5K, ages 40-49); and Carolyn Jerns, 23:46 (women’s 5K, ages 40-49).

PELICAN PUB & BREWERY brewmaster Darron Welch (far left) and general manager Ken Henson presented a $2,683 check to Erin Sullivan of Woodland Park Zoo as part of the Pelican’s commitment to donating a portion of the funds raised from the sale of Silverspot IPA to the zoo’s efforts to bolster the population of the endangered butterfly.

Saving the Silverspot

Pelican Brewery donates more than $2,600 to Woodland Park Zoo for Silverspot butterfly recovery efforts

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he efforts of Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo got a shot in the arm on Wednesday, Aug. 13 when the Pelican Pub & Brewery presented the Woodland collections manager Erin Sullivan with a $2,638 check from the sale of the brewery’s Silverspot IPA over the last year during the oceanfront pub’s annual Silverspot IPA release party.

The partnership between Woodland Park Zoo and the Pelican began about two years ago when a persistent Sullivan hinted numerous times via email for the brewery to think “Silverspot IPA” and a cooperative partnership. Over the last two years, the Pelican has donated more than $4,000 to Silverspot recovery efforts along the Oregon Coast. Those efforts start in the labs at Woodland Park Zoo before pupae are transferred to Oregon Zoo. From there, the butterflies fly free from their pupae amongst known populations of the

threatened species — including nearby Cascade Head. This year the brewery’s contribution will help fund the salary of a Woodland Park Zoo contractor who takes the pupae from the Oregon Zoo to release points.

“It does take a village to make sure we have everything that’s needed for this butterfly,” Sullivan told the crowd at the release party. “We can do all the work we do in the lab, but if we don’t have a habitat for them, then there’s really no reason to do so.”

And that’s where she hailed the Pelican’s pivotal role.

“Thanks for everything you do supporting us,” Sullivan said to the brewery team and owners. “We actually had our recovery meeting here in this room. The Pelican is a partner in the recovery and a part of the recovery team. We’re so glad to have you guys.”

The partnership has been good to the Pelican, too. At the release party, brewmaster Darron Welch outlined the beer that started as a fundraising effort and grew into the

brewery’s number two seller. It has also captured a number of awards in its short two-year life including a silver award at the 2014 World Beer Cup competition and a bronze medal at the 2014 North American Beer Awards.

“It’s the only beer in our lineup that was really created as a collaborative effort of our entire brewing team,” Welch said. “I think that everybody that had a part in designing this beer contributed something that is really special. It’s absolutely a better beer for all the work that everybody put in. We’re so happy to be a part of Woodland Park Zoo and the Oregon Zoo. This is a great project. This is a great beer.”

For more information on the Pelican Pub & Brewery, which is located on the beach at Cape Kiwanda, visit www. pelicanbrewery.com or call 503-965-7007. The brewery also runs the Pelican Tap Room at its production brewery on First and Stillwell Avenues in downtown Tillamook.

THE FATHER-SON FISHING TEAM of Ken and Brandon Kuderer caught this healthy haul of halibuts on Aug. 16 aboard a 1976 Gillman dory named Hap’e Hook’r. Above, Ken (at left) hoists his 37-inch flattie while son Brandon shows off his 34-inch halibut. Ken has been fishing out of Pacific City since he was 14, a passion he has shared with sons Brandon and Kevin, as well as grandson Julian. “There is a true passion in my life about dory fishing in Pacific City,” says Ken. “It is in the blood of the people that fish this type of lifestyle. Most people will never understand, and if they did, then they, too, would know the life of the dorymen of Pacific City.”

A Feast for the Senses

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

F

or more than 13 years, the tantalizing tastes and aromatic smells of Pacific City’s Grateful Bread Restaurant and Bakery have delighted locals and tourists alike. It’s a tradition that owner Robyn Barcroft aims to continue at the popular breakfast and lunch eatery.

Since 2000, Barcroft has owned and operated the renowned restaurant, which first opened its doors in April 1991. She says the bakery’s hallmark rests with the fresh ingredients poured into each dish.

The menu runs the gamut. From savory scones to sweet pastries, fully-stuffed omelets to granola by the pound, the eatery has something for nearly every taste. Popular breakfast meals include an eclectic selection of scrambles — all named after Grateful Dead tunes — as well as biscuits and gravy, which are made from scratch.

And of course, it seems that every table is adorned with an order of french toast

to share. Lunch favorites include a fish sandwich and fish tacos featuring fresh, dory-caught fish.

The restaurant’s drive-thru espresso opens at 6 a.m. Wednesday through Monday (now through Labor Day weekend) and 8 a.m. for eating inside its bright, open and comfortable dining area.

And the efforts have not gone unnoticed. It has all added up to a top rating on TripAdvisor for the last two years.

Head cook Mary Aday says the dining experience at Grateful Bread starts with the intoxicating smells of fresh baked chocolate and cookies and finishes with an infectious dose of fun, courtesy of the staff.

“It’s fun here,” says Aday. “We make jokes, we dance and sing. We’re trying to keep everyone smiling and we’re smiling, too.”

Grateful Bread Restaurant and Bakery is located at 34805 Brooten Road, just north of the four-way stop in Pacific City. For more information, call 503-965-7337.

Revving It Up in Cloverdale

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

M

ore than 80 cars from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and yes, even older than that, lined the streets of downtown Cloverdale for the second annual Cruise-in Cloverdale on Wednesday, Aug. 20.

It was an event that paid homage to the classic automotive lines of the past, the work that went into restoring to them into original — or better — condition, and a healthy dose of camaraderie between like-minded fans of classic cars.

Though some hailed the scene — with hundreds lining the street of downtown Cloverdale — as encouraging to the struggling town, it was the cars and plenty of them that stole the show. From Corvettes to Thunderbirds, restored pickups to rods from the early 1900s, the cruise-in showcased nearly every motoring marvel of the first part of the 1900s.

And the show also featured a dose of star power, courtesy of longtime professional race car driver Lyn St. James, who was charged with presenting the event’s first-ever “Best of Show” award.

St. James’ career began it 1974 and has include an award for 1992 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year — she was the first woman to win — as well as seven Indy starts from 1992-1997. Her best finish was 11th in 1992.

She awarded the Cloverdale CruiseIn “Best of Show” award, which was judged by Dick Warren, to Tony Hancock for his 1929 shiny blue Hudson hot rod.

Pacific Coast Bible Church

Serving the Community Winema Family Camp returns Aug. 29-Sept. 1 with focus on importance of church outreach

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

f your church congregation disappeared, would anyone care? That will be the central question behind the talks of Life Bridge Christian Church senior pastor Rick Rusaw, who is the featured speaker for Wi-NeMa Family Camp, scheduled for Aug. 29-Sept. 1. The Labor Day weekend conference’s 2014 theme is “Fortify the Family: Being in the World– Not of the World.”

Rusaw, co-author of “Externally Focused Church,” and co-founder of Externally Focused Network, told the Sun that he will share ways attendees can help get their church beyond its four walls, reach their community, and connect with neighbors.

“I think over the decades (some) churches and Christians have kind of withdrawn,” he said. “We’ve gotten more engaged inside our boundaries than outside of them.”

It’s a mission that Rusaw has had first-hand experience with. He says that at Life Bridge, which in his 24 years he has seen grown from a church of 400 to

one serving 3,500 attendees, the church has 54 partnerships in the community, in government, in private nonprofits and in social services. The Longmont, Colo. church is also involved in foster care and provides 85 percent of mentors in the area’s public school system for at risk kids.

“We just want to be real people with real faith in the real world,” he said. “(The question is) how do we get engaged in the world around us as Christians. We need to get better at the two things that Jesus said mattered most — loving God and loving our neighbors.”

To help those attending the conference do just that — something that he says Life Bridge has done for thousands of churches — he will offer practical steps that will work for congregations of all sizes.

Registration for Wi-Ne-Ma Family Camp starts at $60 for individuals.

There are discounted rates for multiple registrants. Camp housing is $95, RV spaces $80 and tent spaces $75. There are also meal packages available. For more information or to register, visit www.winema.org.

HAILINGOURHISTORY

THIS EARLY PHOTO of Cape Meares Lighthouse was taken by Clyde Hudson. The lighthouse keeper and his family lived nearby. They welcomed visitors and friends to come spend the day.

A Beacon of Light

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

T

he building of Cape Meares Lighthouse was quite an endeavor, given its isolated location. In 1886, Captain Charles F. Powell first made an examination of Cape Meares and Cape Lookout to determine whether either site was suitable for a lighthouse. He took a steam schooner from Astoria to Tillamook Bay, then traveled by small boat across the bay and walked one mile along the beach to the base of Cape Meares. A one-mile trail led from the beach through timber and brush to the top of the Cape. He later explored Cape Lookout but found Cape Meares much more suited to a lighthouse.

In 1889, work began on the lighthouse. Local loggers, using horses and oxen, were subcontracted to haul lumber from the bay up to the lighthouse site. The sheet iron work for the tower was done by Willamette Iron Works in Portland and transported to Tillamook by ship and then horse and wagon to Cape Meares. Charles Duhrkoop of Portland was placed in charge of the erection of the tower. Suitable clay was found near the site and workers built a kiln. Local natives were hired to dig the clay and cut the timber needed to fire the kiln.

Henry LePaute, of Paris, France, hand-ground the glass and constructed the lens. The huge lens was shipped from Paris, sailed the Atlantic through the Straits of Magellan along the Pacific Coast to Tillamook. On the southwest tip of the Cape, a large, hand-operated derrick with a long boom of Sitka spruce was constructed. The lens was hoisted from the ship deck more than 200 feet up the face of the cliff, into the tower. The entire apparatus was enclosed by 48 protective glass panels.

Vandalism occurred in 2010 when some young men shot out 15 windows and severely damaged the historic Fresnel lens. Money has been raised to help restore the lenses.

In 1963, a tiny airways-type beacon light was installed on the end of the cliff behind the tower. It operated day and night. With this new automatic light, a manned station became unnecessary. This year the U.S. Cost Guard permanently removed an automated beacon from the Cape Meares Lighthouse, leaving the headland in the dark for the first time in 124 years.

The “Friends of Cape Meares Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge” was formed in 1991. This organization offers tours of the lighthouse. It is well worth a drive on the Three Capes Scenic Drive from Pacific City to visit this historic site.
