purchase of 357-acre Sand Lake property by end of August

T

he much-heralded and sometimes controversial Beltz property, a stretch of coastal open space at the south end of Sand Lake, is one step closer to permanent protection as the Oregon State Parks Commission voted unanimously on June 25 to purchase the 357-acre parcel from Ecotrust, an Oregonbased nonprofit.

The commission’s vote authorizes the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to purchase the property for up to $1.8 million. Ecotrust purchased the property for $1.8 million in May with the idea of selling it to OPRD. The property consists of woodlands, both freshwater and saltwater marshes, dunes and oceanfront. The final purchase price will be determined by an appraisal, plus 10 percent, up to the $1.8 million limit, and is funded by Oregon Lottery dollars dedicated to state parks by Oregon voters in 1998 and 2010.

OPRD spokeman Chris Havel told the Sun that the initial appraisal is done and a review one in the works.

He said that if the appraisal comes in low — which he doesn’t expect — the department would offer as low as $1.5 million. OPRD plans to have the purchase completed by the end of August.

“If it’s way less than $1.5 million, we’ll pay $1.5 million, (but) our expectation is it’s not going to come in low,” he said.

Still, if that happens, it’s not likely to kill the deal. Ecotrust vice president of communications Carolyn Holland told the Sun that the group has considered that contingency.

“We’ve got some philanthropic support that would help us bridge any difference in cost,” she said.

“For a wild stretch of the Oregon Coast, this is as good as it gets,” says Spencer Beebe, Ecotrust founder and chairman and a fourth-generation Oregonian. “Beltz Farm contains critical wetlands, unique plant communities, and habitat for salmon and shorebirds.

It deserves to be permanently protected and restored for the common wealth of all Oregonians. And so we applaud the Oregon State Parks Commission in moving forward on this transaction.”

“There’s something delightful and pure about this kind of state park,” says Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Director Lisa Van Laanen. “We focus campground development on parks like Cape Lookout and Nehalem Bay, but we balance that with more natural parks that draw people close to the landscape.”

“This is a significant natural property,” added Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commissioner Robin Risley, who lives in Cannon Beach and serves as the ‘West of the Coast Range’ representa-

tive. “It’s been an important estuary to preserve for decades because of its location, beauty, and natural character.”

“The Sand Lake estuary is one of the most pristine, intact areas on the coast,” says Jay Graves, commission chair.

“These kinds of opportunities are rare, and directly contribute to the physical and economic health of the community.

I’m pleased we and Ecotrust were in the right place at the right time to make this happen.”

Located on the north coast between Cape Lookout State Park and Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area in Pacific City, Sand Lake is one of Oregon’s least developed estuaries, including approximately 1,250 acres of open water, tidal flat, emergent marsh, and forested wetlands.

The state’s documented interest in acquiring this property dates to the 1960s. In recent years, golf course developers have unsuccessfully tried to acquire and develop the property. Development is challenging because of difficult access and abundant wetlands.

Classified as a relatively pristine estuary, Sand Lake is the only remaining estuary of its size on the Oregon Coast that is dominated by a diverse set of native plant associations, due to very little agricultural or commercial development.

The complex of beaches, dunes, tidal and freshwater marshes on Beltz Farm is considered one of the best remaining unprotected coastal remnants.

The property and Sand Lake estuary support a large bird population, with

recent surveys identifying more than 43 species, including the bald eagle, dunlin, rufous hummingbird, and willow flycatcher, which are all North Coast basin priority species. Bear and cougar have been sighted on the property and it provides important habitat for coho and chum salmon and steelhead.

Within Tillamook County, Oregon state parks currently attract 1.7 million visitors, resulting in $15 million a year in local spending, and a projected $100,000 in lodging taxes from state park camping in 2014.

The department will eventually open the park after discussing parking options with the county and nearby residents, a process which could take several months or longer. More information on the property is online at http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/pages/ commission-beltz.asp.

The purchase by Oregon State Parks is unanimously supported by Tillamook County Commissioners. At a June 16 community meeting held at Kiawanda Community Center, the majority of a capacity crowd supported the idea, though there were some that worried over the loss of tax revenue that will happen when it moves into public ownership. Still, the bulk of those in attendance lauded the idea provided there would be a larger focus on preservation than development. Hiking trails were popular, campsites were not. And that’s just fine with OPRD’s initial plans.

“There’s no intention of putting camping in,” said Havel, who led the meeting. “It’s best highest use is contact with nature. What’s motivating us is a beautiful piece of property that provides opportunity for hiking.”

“I walk the Tierra Del Mar/Sand Lake beach often, and I am in favor of the state going and purchasing the property and keeping it pristine,” said Pacific City resident Ielean Rouse.

New flood map may be good news for Pacific City property owners

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Community Development director Brian Pohl unveiled a new floodway map of the area during the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee meeting on June 21, bringing to the public good news for some property owners and the community one step closer to the lifting of a building moratorium in Pacific City.

The map was produced by West Consultants.

The findings are subject to approval

by FEMA, but if the federal organization approves the map and it makes it through 30-day public comment and 60-day appeal periods, some properties currently designated as being in the floodway will no longer be in that more restrictive zone. Properties in the floodway have to complete special studies that cost approximately $6,000 and require that property owners prove that construction will not raise the base flood elevation even one inch. BFE indicates the level floodwaters have a 1 percent chance of reaching in a given year.

Though Pohl emphasized it was “not by any means final,” he noted that the new map was very similar to the prior one with one important exception.

“When engineers ran the numbers we were able to shrink (the) floodway to the top of the bank of the Nestucca River. A lot of properties that were in the floodway, if FEMA accepts this, will now not have to do that,” said Pohl.

“This could be really good news for this area, particularly for some of the Endangered Species Act requirements that will be coming down through the National Insurance Flood Program in the next few years. Being out of the

floodway is huge.”

Pohl said the combined cost for both the Pacific City study and a less involved one for Nehalem was approximately $56,000.

“If (portions of ) Pacific City are taken out of floodway, that’s money well spent,” he said. “It can save that much money to homeowners pretty quickly.”

The West Consultants map will be available for the public to view at the South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp Street, Pacific City, by the afternoon of July 1, if not sooner. However, the map doesn’t currently include street markings. The county is currently working on an overlay that will make it easier for staff and the community to accurately see where area lots sit in reference to the floodway.

The moratorium came into play following a FEMA audit that began in 2012 and was completed in 2013, in which the agency found a number of deficiencies in the county’s program.

Central to those deficiencies were that many structures permitted in the floodway were not correctly permitted. Because of this, FEMA determined that they could no longer trust the 1978 map because the improperly permitted structures could have impacted the floodway and base flood elevation.

Pohl addressed the concern that the area could draw FEMA’s ire again should, in the future, the county permit structures improperly.

“I’m not going to say we’ll never make a mistake again, but I will tell you we have a much more trained staff,” he said. “There are very real consequences if not permitted correctly.”

Given that FEMA approves the map, Pohl said he anticipates the moratorium being lifted by 2015, but that comes with a caveat. It all depends on how fast FEMA approves the map.

Youth invited to OSU extension service day camps OSU Extension Service is offering several summer day camps during July for interested youth who have completed grades 1 through 8. Day camps will be offered on a variety of topics including videography, photography, gardening and arts & crafts. Most day camps are half day, each with a different theme developed for a specific age group.

All OSU Extension Service sponsored day camps include equipment, supplies and activities. Participants in many of the day camps will complete at least one project that can be exhibited in 4-H at the Tillamook County Fair.

A completed registration form and the day camp fee is required to register a participant. Pre-registration is encouraged as each day camp has limited enrollment. Registrations will be taken on a space available basis through the

first day of each day camp. Financial need scholarships are available.

One of the new day camps this summer is “Videography” for youth in grades 6 and up, led by Rick Henry and held July 7-11, 9 a.m.-noon. Participants will learn the basics of videography with hands-on experience in documentary film-making. Youth in this same age group may also be interested in the “Intermediate/Advanced Photography Skills” day camp led by Xiomara Gard, July 21-25, 1-4 p.m. Other July Day Camps include: Dishin’ Up the Dirt (Gardening), July 7-11, 1-4 p.m.; Simply Stunning Fiber Arts, July 14-18, 10 a.m.4 p.m.; Photography Basics, July 21-25, 9 a..m-noon; and Crafty Creation Cloverbuds, July 28-Aug. 1, 1-4 p.m.

Tourism director search extended TLT project now hopes for start date in October

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

T

he search for a permanent director of Tillamook County’s new tourism initiative has been extended, and a local company has been chosen to create and maintain the project’s website.

The tourism initiative, informally known as Visit Tillamook, is funded by the county’s Transient Lodging Tax. The TLT tax on short-term lodging was passed by voters last November and is expected to create a tourism fund of $1 million a year or more.

The June 26 board meeting of the county’s Economic Development Council, a public-private partnership that is administering and disbursing TLT funds under county oversight, focused largely on the still-coalescing tourism initiative.

An ambitious draft timetable in February called for having a permanent director of the tourism initiative on the job by June 30, which would have provided a two-month overlap with interim director John Hope-Johnstone. That timetable has been shifting, and now the plan is to have the director in place by Oct. 1, a month after Hope-Johnstone’s contract ends.

“We received about 20 applications and perhaps five or six met the minimum qualifications” for the permanent director job, said EDC vicechair Doug Olson of Pacific City, who led the meeting. Those applicants have been asked to submit additional information about their management style and other matters, he said.

“We have re-advertised and reached a little deeper into the industry to try and elicit some more responses,” Olson said. The plan now calls for completing the hiring process by late August or early September for the Oct. 1 start date.

The EDC is offering a salary of around $80,000 for the job, and since Tillamook Bay Community College is acting as fiscal agent for the project, the director would receive the college benefits package worth about $36,000 a year.

The pay is low when compared with the nationwide range for the

job, said Hope-Johnstone. “As far as national, we’re not in the ballpark,” he said, adding that the position would typically fetch a salary of more than $100,000. But the benefits, the perks of living along the coast and the chance for an entrepreneurial position should make the post attractive, he said.

The website contract for the tourism initiative will go to Tillamook Design, a Tillamook-based company, as the board voted to finalize a contract for about $17,000 plus about $1,000 in monthly maintenance to create the site.

“Their pricing was good, and they certainly met all the standards that we set out,” Hope-Johnstone said.

Olson noted that Hope-Johnstone had originally estimated the website-creation cost at about $55,000, and that proposals had come in as high as roughly $100,000.

“This is the door to Tillamook County,” Olson said of the website.

“And we’re going to keep it up and keep it running, and we’re going to pay to do it.”

In other business, EDC board members discussed banking for TLT funds, with action set for the July meeting. The consensus of members present was to create a bank account separate from the EDC’s general account at TLC Federal Credit Union, possibly in a separate financial institution.

Board member Tony Enzler, a commercial banking officer with Columbia Bank, strongly urged a separate account.

“Obviously, yes,” he said. “We absolutely want to make sure that we are counting those pennies in a totally different account. We could even be more conservative and move it to another bank as well, a Wells Fargo.”

“It’s going to be easier for us to spin this off into its own entity in one year if it’s with another financial institution in a completely separate account,” Enzler said, adding that the separation also would look better in the public eye.

Board member Michele Bradley of the Port of Tillamook Bay agreed, saying: “It’s just cleaner.”

orymen and other boating enthusiasts at Cape Kiwanda will have a new marker for their return trip by August if all goes according to plan. The U.S. Coast Guard has made the decision to return the muchmaligned whistle buoy to aid mariners, but the device will not be the same as the one that was placed here in 2010 when many residents cried foul, saying that the whistle buoy sounded like a sick cow.

According to Coast Guard District 13 Waterways manager John Moriarty, the buoy is currently being rehabbed and will be placed once “time and materials permit.” Servicing the buoy when available will be the Coast Guard cutter Fir, a 225-foot craft charged with servicing and maintaining 130 aids to navigation along the Pacific Coasts of Oregon and Washington, as well as the Columbia River.

Also on the District 13 Waterways Management staff is Lt. Jarrett Owens, who pointed to the Coast Guard’s responsibility for safety in the region’s navigable inland coastal waters.

“The facilitation of safe maritime traffic is of paramount importance to the Coast Guard,” he replied to the Sun’s inquiry as to the deciding factor in going with the whistle buoy. “A whistle sound signal is more consistent and reliable than a bell. A whistle buoy is also easier to maintain due to its durability in an offshore environment.”

He also indicated that a whistle buoy would “provide better navigational assistance to the dory fleet and the growing number of recreational users in the area.”

The decision comes on the heels of a USCG-hosted public meeting on June 5 during which the Coast Guard reached out to the community for their input. As previously reported in the Sun, that meeting elicited a number of comments — both pro and con — about replacing the current bell buoy with a whistle device.

Many opposed said the “sick cow” sound of the previous whistle buoy was offensive enough to affect their

quality of life. Some wondered if the sound would affect tourism and real estate sales. Owens said that the Coast Guard considered the input of these alternate viewpoints.

Still, the Coast Guard is required to follow it’s number one priority — the safety of mariners, hence the decision to go back to a whistle buoy. The problem of the buoy has been two-fold.

For one, the “clappers” which clang on the bell have historically had to be replaced every three months — a far more frequent repair interval than the one-year cycle that most buoys on the coast get. The other issue is wildlife — sea lions often climb aboard the device and lean against the clappers, preventing them from ringing the bell. Whistle buoys aren’t affected by either issue.

There is the possibility that a proposal to move the buoy further away from Haystack Rock will make the sound of the whistle more acceptable — or at least that’s the hope.

Dorymen’s co-chair Craig Wenrick earlier said that he thinks that being further from Haystack could make the difference. He noted that when the last buoy was on station, the buoy sounded normal to him when he was west of the device.

The move back to a whistle buoy received a tempered thumbs up from the Dorymen’s Association’s other cochair, Paul Hanneman, who told the Sun that the decision was acceptable.

“We’re pleased with the Coast Guard’s consideration of our position for safety on this section of the coast,” he said.

But on the matter of moving the buoy farther out, Hanneman is less confident, noting that it isn’t ideal to put buoys that are marking inland hazards too far out in the ocean.

“The location (of the buoy) will be farther west than it ever has been previously,” he said. “Some members are concerned that it’s getting to be quite a long way from Haystack Rock, (but) anything is better than the bell. Some members of the board and members of the (dory) fleet, in consideration of folks that didn’t like the sound of the whistle, thought it was OK to move it farther out if it was going to help resolve the problem.”

The March is On Cheer ‘Clover the Cow’, celebrate our nation’s independence at Clover’s Day parade, festivities on Saturday, July 5

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he celebration may come one day after much of the nation relishes colorful night sky displays across the U.S., but Cloverdale’s Independence Day celebration comes with no less fanfare.

Operating under the theme of “Mootown USA,” this year’s Clover’s Day will feature an eclectic parade, live music, petting zoo and a show and shine open to all makes and models.

“It’s been a 31-year tradition,” says event organizer Verne Mobley. “We feel like it’s important — it’s the biggest single event in Cloverdale all year except for high school events.”

Leading off the parade, which starts at Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School at 11 a.m., will be the 2014 Clover the Cow, provided this time around

by Kara Hale, who operates Midway Dairy with her brother.

The farm has been in operation for 20 years.

Other parade highlights are expected to include everything from classic cars to horses, 2014 Tillamook County Rodeo Queen Ariana Piskitelli to a horse-drawn buggy at the hands of Mike McInnes. Confirmed entries at press time included several politicians including Tillamook County Commissioners Tim Josi and Mark Labhart, the U.S. Department of Forestry’s Smokey the Bear float, and fire trucks from the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District. Parade grand marshals will be Dennis and JoAnn Love, who have run Den-Jo Farms since 1976.

Dennis has amassed a run of 52 straight years of showing cows at the Tillamook County Fair, as well as at national shows and state fairs. During that time, he has collected innumerable ribbons, first-place awards and even grand champions. With this year being a rare exception due to their grand marshal duties, the couple has provided many of the “Clover the Cows” during the event’s three-decade long history.

“I always look forward to Clover’s Day,” says parade organizer Jeremy Strober. “The festival — and especially the parade — is a great example of an Oregon small town Independence Day festival and parade.”

Organizers are anticipating at least 40 parade entries by the time cars and bands, floats and antique tractors line up to traverse the route from the high school to the Highway 101 downtown Cloverdale strip. And that number could swell — depending on how many

‘MOOTOWN USA” is the theme of the 2014 Clover’s Day held in downtown Cloverdale. The 11 a.m. parade will start at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School, work its way down Parkway Dr., turn right on Highway 101 and then loop around back up to the school.

Auto enthusiasts will enjoy the “Show and Shine” taking place along Hwy. 101 and those wishing to participate can park their vehicles at designated spots at the north and south sides of town. Live music by Countryfied, children’s activities like a bounce house, petting zoo, and face painting, and other activities will round out the day. Clover’s Day t-shirts are available at Cloverdale’s Garden Cafe, 34445 Highway 101 S. For more information, visit www.pcnvchamber.org.

show up for the “Show and Shine” that is also a part of the event.

Organizers will award a “Best of Show” trophy as well as ribbons for “Best Youth Float,” “ Farm Animal,” “Nonprofit,” “Commercial,” and “Classic/Antique Vehicle.”

Auto enthusiasts interested in showcasing their four-wheeled wonder during the event can park their Chevy or Ford, Porsche or VW just north of the Tillamook County Health Clinic on the vacant lot of the former fire station or in front of US Bank on the south side of town. Participation is free. Cars will be given a plaque for registering. Other event activities will include a petting zoo, face painting, a bouncy house and horse-drawn carriage rides.

Parade registration is open until 8

a.m. the day of the event. Those wishing to register early can pick up forms at Thomas Goodwin Gallery, 34395 Highway 101 South, Cloverdale.

To commemorate the event, organizers put on a coloring contest in which Nestucca Valley Elementary students did their best with a set of Crayolas in an effort to provide the artwork for the event t-shirt. NVES third-grader Andres Sanavol won the honors — and a $50 prize from the Chamber. T-shirts will be available at Cloverdale’s Garden Cafe, 34445 Highway 101 S. The Chamber plans to add additional outlets but they could not be confirmed at press time.

The Survey Says …

South Tillamook County praised, criticized in roundup of residents’ opinions from survey prepared for Tourism Advisory Committee

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

R

esults are back from the Tillamook County Community Survey that hundreds of local residents filled out during April and May, and the reviews are mixed for Pacific City and South County.

The area is beautiful or grimy, depending on who’s spouting off. Farms are stunning or stinky. People like dory fishing, provided they can find a place to park.

And nobody said anything good about the Cape Kiwanda public restrooms.

The online survey — an unscientific collection of comments submitted by 441 self-selected respondents — was prepared for the county’s Tourism Advisory Committee. That nine-member panel is at the forefront of determining how the county’s new tourism initiative will divvy up the million-plus dollars expected per year from the voter-approved Transient Lodging Tax. “The response of over 400 is an extremely good result and one of the best we have experienced,” Total Destination Marketing president Bill Baker told the Sun. “Typically, for a community of this size, the response may be 150 to 200.” Baker’s Tualatin-based firm was chosen to “brand” Tillamook County and perform the survey.

With 441 respondents answering as many as 24 questions apiece, the survey runs to nearly 150 pages of small type. But amid all the verbiage, some themes emerged.

There was wide agreement that the county lacks cohesion. “No cohesive county identify ... no cooperation between the different areas of the county — north, central, south,” one person wrote, in a comment echoed by many others. Another simply labeled the situation: “North, central, and south county infighting.”

Resentment seeps through some responses about the lack of cohesion. “Whoever pays the most (in TLT) gets the most say in it,” one respondent wrote, as unincorporated areas like all of South County pay the bulk of the county tax because pre-existing lodging taxes in incorporated cities were already near the cap.

“The south end is just now paying TLT and they feel they should get the most input, after years of the cities trying to make it on their own through city TLTs.” Some urged South County communities to incorporate. As one respondent wrote: “In the south end of the county there is also the refusal to incorporate to provide necessary local services.”

“Dairy farming is the backbone of this county, from north to south,” said one suggestion for a county identity, and another praised grazing cows. But other responses lumped together farming and logging as unsightly and smelly.

“South County, with the exception of Pacific City and Neskowin, are not pretty — too many dairy farms and too much pollution from manure. It will be very difficult to brand Tillamook County, but if I were to do so, it would steer clear of dairy — the cheese part — and go with the oceans, bays and rivers and our forests before they are all cut down,” said one response. “‘Cheese, trees and ocean breeze’ should be retired.

Dairy and logging, for many visitors, spell noise, pollution, bad smells and ugly hillsides. Tourists do not like ‘ugly.’”

“I would change the stranglehold that the timber

corporations and dairy farms have on this county, and until that’s accomplished, tourists will continue to bypass Tillamook for more ‘touristy places,’” another response said. It described tourists enjoying other Oregon Coast locations “without having to breathe in the smoke from the timber companies’ slash and burn piles and all the Tillamook and South County residents burning their garbage in burn barrels or in open outdoor piles and the dairy farmers continually spraying their manure into the air and stinking it up.”

Many responses mentioned the lack of infrastructure — such as restrooms and parking — necessary to support an increase in tourism, with one writer hitting all the notes: “The bathrooms, lack of garbage cans and parking lot in Pacific City are horrid. PC is just one example. The county wants to attract visitors but doesn’t have a single garbage can in most locations and not enough parking. People are openly urinating/defecating on the beaches, leaving their garbage in the pullouts/forests/beaches, and are generally inconsiderate of the place they are visiting.

Bringing more of the same problems is not going to solve anything.”

Pacific City State Airport deserves promotion, some said. “Pilots don’t need to rent a car to enjoy this coastal town. Lodging, restaurants, shops and beach are minutes from airport,” one respondent wrote. Another suggested: “Create one or more events for pilots and their families at the Pacific City airport. In years past there was an annual salmon feed that brought hundreds of pilots to the area.”

The beauty of the South County coast didn’t go unnoticed. As one respondent wrote: “The southern coast of Tillamook County is some of the most beautiful in the state. More parks and developed overlooks would help tourism.”

But getting there isn’t the smoothest trip. “Improve highway along the coast — Oceanside to Pacific City — it is horrible,” one writer said, while another called for “better road maintenance in Pacific City.”

The tourism that some want to promote apparently isn’t what others seek. “PC is overcrowded,” one respondent wrote, while another chimed in: “The good small towns (Manzanita, Pacific City) get overrun with tourists to the extent that it’s not always enjoyable.”

“There are gathering places in Pacific City such as Cape Kiwanda and the Pacific City Library, whose architecture is charming,” wrote one satisfied resident. Others were less satisfied, saying “Pacific City is nothing but houses” and calling for help so the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce can “recruit new and diverse shops and restaurants to Pacific City.”

Pacific City’s signature dory fleet drew raves, but some thought only dory operators should be allowed to drive on the beach.

While Pacific City drew some complaints, it fared well compared with some other areas of the county — especially the city of Tillamook, which many described as if they couldn’t decide whether its most outstanding characteristic was ugliness or despair. In what was far from the harshest depiction, one respondent wrote: “The town of Tillamook is an embarrassment, compared to any town north or south. Why would I want to visit a town that smells like a barn and whose main attraction only allows me to watch cheese being packaged?”

A Busy Season

By VERNE MOBLEY Lions Club President

Our Lions Club has royalty in our family. Lion treasurer Teresa Smith’s husband Gary Smith has been named Grand Marshal of the Dory Days celebration in Pacific City, July, 18-20. Congratulations, Gary!! This is a big honor for a great guy!!

It’s busy season for local Lions. It seems like every season is busy. As I write this, we are preparing for June 24, as we meet at the Garden Cafe here to have dinner and then installation of officers.

On about the 28th, Lions Jim Dierringer and Verne Mobley will move the Elephant Ear wagon from storage in Tillamook to the fairgrounds. Our friend Quinton Brooks is our wagon mover and has volunteered to move the thing for many years. He and we go from the rodeo to Clovers Day to Dory Days.

Then — maybe — back to storage.

Between these events, the wagon waits at Harold and Nancy Altman’s Red Barn.

Wow! Almost makes an old Lion tired just to mention all this stuff!! But ya know it is fun! Also, we welcome volunteers to help with this project, Lions or not.

Our Clover’s Day t-shirts are on sales for $12 right now at The Garden Cafe and soon to be at other locations. “Mootown USA.” The coloring on the shirts was done by NVES third-grader Andres Sandoval. He was the contest winner.

We hope for nice weather and a big crowd on July 5 for Clover’s Day. So come on over and see a great show-n-shine car show. Then watch “Clover” the cow lead the parade downtown, then listen to the “Countryfied” band, play games and visit with old friends. All these things after you have breakfast at the high school done by Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District volunteer firefighters. Price is $5. The hours are 7-10 a.m. Please tell all you can about the hours.

Sorry, we got the wrong hours on the posters!

Please call Tom Goodwin at 503-329-8345 about the car show, and Verne at 503-392-4436 to become a Lion.

Esther Milne-Pat Sears Scholarship Brunch set for July 12 at TBCC South Campus

F

or the second year, the Tillamook Bay Community College Foundation will host the Esther Milne/ Pat Sears Scholarship Brunch with this year’s event held July 12, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the TBCC South Campus. Once named the Esther Milne Garden Tea and held in Tierra Del Mar, the event has raised more than $65,000 for scholarships and to support various youth groups over the last 26 years.

“I’m thrilled to see the event held at the College’s South County Campus,” says Pat Sears, the event’s namesake and previous host of the garden tea. “I think it is the right place to have the brunch because it not only showcases the scholarship itself, but promotes the College and education at the same time.”

The brunch supports the Esther Milne/Pat Sears Scholarship Endowment Fund at the TBCC Foundation. The en-

dowment provides scholarships to adult women who seek to further themselves by returning to education and honors both Esther Milne and Pat Sears, who value the importance of education for women. The scholarship gives preference to woman who apply from South Tillamook County.

The brunch is sponsored by Oregon Coast Bank and will be held at TBCC South located at Nestucca High School, 34660 Parkway Drive in Cloverdale. A short program will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Grateful Bread of Pacific City will cater, and Brenna Sage will provide musical entertainment. Tickets are $15 per person with the proceeds benefitting the Esther Milne/Pat Sears Scholarship Endowment Fund. For more information, to purchase tickets and RSVP call Chris Weber at TBCC at 503-842-8222 extension 1060 before July 1.

SPECIAL GUEST — and father of two band members — Verne Mobley (center) took the stage during Countryfied’s performance at the 2013 Clover’s Day celebration. Countryfied will return for this year’s rendition of Clover’s Day on July 5. The eclectic band will perform after the parade.

All in the Family Countryfied brings its high-energy musical fun back to Clover’s Day

VOLUNTEERS MADISON JOHNSON AND RACHEL STROBER hold the last two rescued puppies brought by the Tillamook Animal Shelter to Yappy Days for adoption. The agency adopted three earlier that day. Held June 14, Yappy Days raised more than $2,200 for the Tillamook County Animal Shelter.

hen the last parade entry has gone by, don’t fret, the fun’s not over yet. Countryfied, a high energy, five-piece band will take to the stage in downtown Cloverdale to entertain the crowd.

The Mobley brothers, Mark and Ron, started playing with their father, Verne Mobley, in their parent’s band, the Sundowners Band when they were kids, and have been playing ever since.

Mark, who plays lead guitar and sings, says Countryfied has been together for 28 years and plays a mix of old country, new country, Caribbean music like Jimmy Buffet, and rock ‘n roll like the Eagles. He says the band is really friendly and encourages audience participation.

“My goal is to make everyone smile,” he says.

Ron, the band’s drummer and manager, has opened for more than 30 major label artists during his music career. He runs a fence contracting company as well as managing the family ranch, and says that music is an outlet for the stress of day to day life.

And, of course, he’s a lover of music.

“I see an old guitar in the corner and I just want to pick it up and play it,” he says.

John Hite mixes the sound for the band, plays piano, and sings classic rock songs from bands like ACDC and Journey.

The comedian of the band, Yancy Fall, plays bass. Their shows contain a good mix of comedy and Fall is a big part of that.

Timmy Fenderson, or Tim the Fin, is a phenomenal guitar player, says Ron. The band hasn’t played bars in many years, instead focusing on corporate events. You can find out more about Countryfied on Facebook.

EVENTS&ACTIVITIES Celebrate the 4th with the Reluctant Brothers

Photo by Tim Hirsch

Fire in the Sky

THE SKIES above Pacific City will be awash with a spectacular pyrotechnic show when the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce puts on their annual 4th of July weekend fireworks display on Saturday, July 5 at dusk. The fireworks, set off on the beach at Bob Straub State Park, are made possible by the Chamber and generous contributions from many local businesses and community members. Organizers suggest viewers arrive by 8 p.m. to avoid the rush and find parking.

The dynamic sounds of the Reluctant Brothers will punctuate the celebration of Independence Day at the Sportsman’s Pub-N-Grub, 34975 Brooten Road, starting at 9 p.m. on July 4.

The band consists of three longtime Nestucca Valley locals — Tony Swirtz, Joe Lushina, and Josiah McDaniel. Josh Bradshaw, the “newcomer” has lived in the area for almost a decade, and considers himself a permanent resident.

While the Relucant Brothers have officially been a band for only a short time, they have put that time to good use, playing venues as diverse as farmers markets, harvest parties, book readings, weddings, and bars.

The band’s sound is difficult to categorize into one genre as each of the three singer/songwriters boast their own unique sound and style. Their music has many elements — folk style fingerpicking and alternating country bass lines are commonplace with thoughtful lyrics and powerful vocals resonating throughout.

There is no cover charge for the 9 p.m. concert at the Sportsman’s Pub-NGrub. For more information, call 541-9659991.

Art as a Vessel

Rowboat Gallery hosts July 5 reception for “Holding the Vessel” art show

R

owboat Gallery will host an artist reception on July 5, from 5-8 p.m., for their July art show “Holding the Vessel,” a month-long exhibit that will feature the work of Oregon Coast artist Liisa Rahkonen along with works by Corvallis ceramic artists Barbara Campbell and Javier Cervantes.

The “Holding the Vessel” show, which will run from July 5 to Aug. 2 at the Rowboat Gallery, 34950 Brooten Road, in downtown Pacific City, will be an exploration of the vessel shape as a form, a container and a nest for the spirit of a place.

Rahkonen’s abstract paintings are cold wax encaustic on wooden panels. Encaustic, a medium made of wax mixed with oil paint, allows for creating a deep, textured surface which can be scratched into with a bamboo stick, to give the effect of both painting and drawing. Rahkonen’s hand-built ceramic vessels each hold the form of a coastal bird or fish with her signature spirit tube, a spout at the spine of the animal, which represents an opening for exchange between the living body and the spiritual.

Campbell has been a studio potter for more than 25 years. She leads and teaches workshops throughout the Northwest and has co-taught many workshops in Mexico with her husband and collaborator Javier Cervantes. Her work has appeared in Ceramics

Monthly and Clay Times magazines. She has exhibited in Mexico, Japan and across the US, and has been a Visiting Artist in Residence at Juniata College, Huntington, Pennsylvania and in Oaxaca and the Yucatan, Mexico. Campbell and Cervantes currently live and work in Corvallis.

“As an artist, I find the Oregon coast a constant source of inspiration,” Rahkonen says. “I feel privileged to see the beauty of our coastline every day, and to live in a place that is fresh, vital, and mysterious. The wildness here constantly feeds my desire to create Nature, a deep repository for exploration in my search for new ways of expression, is my greatest influence.”

In this body of work, she says “familiar material is approached in a contemporary, fresh way.”

“Sea grass is painted in bold lines of color as abstracted bird’s nests and layered into woven and matted shapes like the twigs and natural materials gathered by birds, as they weave their shelter,” she says. “In other paintings, my reference to sea grass is a delicate line, painted in a ribbon-like calligraphy leading the eye through bird forms, nests, and vertical bars symbolizing walking sticks.”

Struggling With Cancer?

You Don’t Have To Do It Alone!

Facing Fate with Faith, a Bible devotional written by two sisters who have each endured four cancer

Photo by Tim Hirsch

LOCAL ARTISTS, pictured l-r, Donna Ludwig Peterson, Mike Loney, and Rose Perez, will be featured at a July 5 artist reception at Garibaldi Maritime Museum from 2-4 p.m. Their exhibit, “Celebrating the Oregon Coast”, will be on show at the museum from July 1-31.

Scenes from the Coast South Tillamook County artists to be feted at Garibaldi Museum opening reception on July 5

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he beauty of our adored stretch of coastline is many things to many people. But for a unique look at the natural wonders of our coastline, perhaps there’s no better way to look at it than through the eyes of an artist — or better yet, three of them.

A trio of South Tillamook County artists will be featured at a July 5 artist reception at Garibaldi Museum’s community room. From 2-4 p.m., the public will be invited to meet and greet Pacific City artists Rose Perez and Donna Ludwig Peterson as well as Michael Loney, of Cloverdale.

The feting of the three South Tillamook County artists is a celebration designed to highlight a monthlong exhibit titled “Celebrating the Oregon Coast” at the museum. The exhibit runs July 1-31. Museum hours are Thursday-Monday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Painting primarily in oils, Perez points to the beauty of the Oregon Coast as her favorite subject matter. She has specialized in painting seascapes, open ocean, boats, lighthouses and other scenes along the West Coast. With fine detail, her paintings are known for their accuracy of the ocean’s movements, color and light. Her credits include a People’s Choice award for her painting “After the Storm,” which was amongst the work she displayed at a 2001 juried art exhibit at Coos Bay Art Museum. In 2004, she was included in the 24th edition of “Marquis Who’s Who of American Women,” followed by recognition in the 2006 Diamond Anniversary 60th edition of Who’s Who in America.

Other career highlights include the painting of seven canvases depicting of the Nestucca Indians of the Northwest Coast. An exhibit of the 2005 collection was shown at Tillamook Pioneer Museum, and was later purchased by the museum. In 2009, all seven paintings were published in “Nestucca River Country,”

by Sally Rissel. In that same year, Perez designed artwork depicting a dory for the Dorymen Memorial Wall.

Ludwig Peterson studied art at Colorado Institute of Art in Denver and later at Western State College, where she majored in art education. During her 30 years as an art educator — all in the same classroom — she worked as a part-time professional artist. She has called art her full-time vocation since retiring in May 2000. She say her greatest desire is that the natural beauty of our surroundings be appreciated by all, a desire that fits perfectly with her ability to put that “natural beauty” on canvas.

A lifelong Oregon resident, Loney followed a high school label as the “most artistic” with art education at the Advertising Art Institute of Portland, as well as through tutelage of several renowned Oregon artists.

Originally inspired by the way Norman Rockwell portrayed everyday people, as well as the beauty of all of Oregon’s wildlife, Loney has developed his own unique style characterized by his attention to detail.

He has also shown his work at “Oregon Hunter Association” and “Ducks Unlimited” events. Past honors bestowed include Tillamook County Fair “Best of Show” in 2000 (Flock of Geese) and Tillamook County Fair “Best of Show” in 2005, as well as the “Best of All County Fairs” distinction at the Oregon State Fair (Handmade, Tasha Tudor).

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

I

f there’s one thing that Pacific City fabric artist Karen Gelbard would like you to remember, it’s that art is not just what adorns your wall. It can have a functional purpose, too.

And what’s more functional than the clothes on your back?

“Wearable art is functional,” says Gelbard, who has been creating oneof-a-kind garments since 1979.

And while each handwoven scarf and jacket is finely crafted, there’s more to it than that. That’s because Gelbard draws inspiration from the Oregon Coast. Whether it’s the texture of tidepools or the image of waves, the coast’s beauty is reflected in her work — but in a subtle way.

“It tells a special story and a lot of that special story has to do with living here,” Gelbard says. “I really enjoy the idea of doing coats like (my) Manzanita coat. Wherever it goes, that story goes with it. It’s the palette, its the shapes, it’s the story behind it. It starts with color. It’s my color sense (that) gives sense to the fabric.”

Fresh from a trip to the Midwest, where she collected three awards in as many shows, Gelbard will be hosting

a “pop-up” gallery June 27-29 at the Shops at the Village complex, 34950 Brooten Road, Pacific City. Gallery hours are Friday, June 27, noon-5 p.m., and June 28-29, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

In conjunction with the event, Seufert Winery will be hosting a wine-tasting event.

Debuting at the show will be a new series entitled “Spring Twigs,” which Gelbard says features texture added to the woven artwork afterwards. “(It) tells a story of branches and leaves, the ‘brambles’ if you will,” she said.

Gelbard’s recent accolades include an Award of Excellence from the Art Fair at Laumeier, held in St. Louis, Mo.; a first place award in the fiber category at the Old Capitol Art Fair in Springfield, Ill.; and an Award of Excellence (fiber category) at Art in the Park, held in Columbia, Mo. “I think they really like the Oregon story,” says Gelbard about the warm response she has received in the Midwest. “There’s something unique about us here. We’re still a mystery. If I could put in a bottle what we have here, (people there) would be thrilled.”

Four Awesome Ales

Pelican Brewery earns four medals at North American Beer Awards

A

nother contest, another row of awards for the heralded beer-making team at Pelican Brewing Co.!

On the heels of good showings at the 2014 World Beer Cup, and Australian Beer Awards, the Pelican collected four medals — bronze medals for The Governor and Silverspot IPA, and silver medals for MacPelican’s Wee Heavy Ale and Stormwatcher’s Winterfest — at the North American Beer Awards held June 7 in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Hosted by the North American Brewers Association, the North American Beer Awards featured more than 1,400 different beverages vying for recognition.

The Governor, described by the brewery as a bold and refreshing lager brewed to honor former Oregon Governor Tom McCall, won the Bronze Medal in the Helles Bock/Maibock category. Governor McCall was integral in the 1960s passing of the Oregon Beach Bill, which protected Oregon’s beaches and dedicated them to public access forever. This seasonal release from Pelican Brewing Co. uses locally-grown Oregon hops to create what Pelican sources say is a clean brew that is likewise accessible to everyone.

A mainstay in the Pelican lineup, Silverspot IPA won its Bronze Medal in the English-Style India Pale Ale beer style category. According to the brewery,

Silverspot is known for its brilliant gold color and assertively complex hop aroma. Silverspot IPA celebrates the Oregon Silverspot butterfly, which once flourished in coastal grasslands from Washington to California. Because of habitat loss, this threatened butterfly is now found only in a handful of protected areas. A collaborative habitat restoration and reintroduction program is helping to increase this butterfly population. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this beer will help fund conservation efforts for the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly.

Claiming a Silver Medal in the Scotch Ale (Wee Heavy) category was MacPelican’s Wee Heavy Ale. Also the winner of the Gold Medal in this category in 2012, Pelican’s take on the Wee Heavy is simply MacPelican’s Ale brewed with half the water and twice the boiling time to create a beer with “a massive malty flavor and a deep red color.”

Rounding out the wins for Pelican Brewing Co. was the Stormwatcher’s Winterfest, which won a Silver Medal in English-Style Barley Wine. Sometimes June can still feel like winter on the Oregon Coast and this barley wine offers a full-bodied malty flavor that leads to a smooth, soft and warming finish. This “big” 12.7 percent ale has claimed a medal in this category at the NABA the past three years.

Searching for a superintendent Nestucca board set to weigh applicants for interim position

By SCOTT GILBERT for the Sun

T

school funds and a beginning balance of about $570,000 carried over from this year.

The general fund pays for most operating activities, and the budget notes that “personnel expenses make up over 77 percent of the program costs for the instruction, support and administrative functions.” The district has held salary costs steady, the budget says, but associated payroll costs continue to increase, with hikes in insurance expenses and significant growth in Public Employees Retirement System costs.

While enrollment is projected to be about the same next year at 462.5, with each kindergartner counting as a half-student, overall trends predict a continuing decline in enrollment.

Next year’s predicted number will be down nearly one-fifth from the 573 students enrolled in 2006-07.

he search for an interim superintendent will be the subject of a lengthy closeddoor meeting of the Nestucca Valley School Board on June 30, which is the final day for applications to be received.

The executive session, expected to last three to five hours, will allow board members to discuss applicants as the school district seeks to have a half-time interim superintendent in place by the first day of August.

FISHING&OUTDOORS

fter 10 years here at the shop, there are a few questions that we really get tired of answering — especially when they’ve asked almost everyday and when they make no sense. Often we can tell just by the questions that some folks aren’t really fishermen at all. Here are three that drive me crazy: Where are they catching them all at? What are they catching them all on? Is Anybody catching anything?

Let’s take the questions individually. Where are they catching them all at? There is no magic spot that all the fish always lay, some mystical location that’s a secret where all the fish are being caught. My first inclination when I hear that question is to say in the corner of the mouth. That usually gets an expression of disdain and a “come on really” comment. So my second answer is OK, OK, well you go north on Highway 101 to the guard rail hole just south of Beaver. You park along side the river and step over the guard rail. Look upstream about 160 feet, and you will see a giant fluorescent red “X” floating on the water surrounded by drift boats, that’s the spot. That will either elicit a laugh or “Really, how far did you say this place is?” Any real fisherman knows that fish come in from the ocean — they are headed upstream to spawn and where they were yesterday they likely have moved on headed for their home spawning grounds. No magical spots where they always are, sorry. Fishermen know you have to go find where they are today.

What are they catching ‘em all on?

Again a fairly silly question as there are many baits used. In the right mood, I will answer, “on a fishing pole and line.”

There is a reason for the existence of super tackle stores with shelves and walls full of tackle. Tackle and bait most times is a matter of personal preference. There is no one way that always works, no one way to catch fish, no one bait that works for everyone under every condition. If you are not aware of this you are either, not a fisherman, ignoring the facts, or you have never been to a tackle store.

Next! Is Anybody catching anything? Maybe that’s not the dumbest question, but darn close. Honestly! I don’t know who “anybody” is but folks catch fish here everyday, unless the river’s flooding or no one is here. Some-

where on the Nestucca or Three Rivers, fishermen are catching fish — it’s what they do. My humorous answer to that — believe me in order to survive you have to have a sense of humor — nobody has caught a fish here since 1985. That’s the year that the last fish was caught here.

Oh yes, there are plenty of other dumb questions like when we’re right smack in the middle of the best springer season ever and some person will come in and ask, “Are they catching any fish yet?” Where has this person been? It’s been great fishing for the last eight weeks and they want to know if we have seen a fish yet! Well no, I think if you wait one more week there might be something coming around. Recently ODFW and the U.S. Forest Service planted 7,000 trout in Hebo Lake for one of their events, and we actually had a person come in and ask if they really did stock the lake because they were up there and didn’t see a fish. Mind you, about 30 fishermen a day were coming through the shop with limits.

As most know, we have been in the middle of one of the best spring chinook seasons in recent memory.

That has meant there’s been hundreds of fish available and lots of salmon being caught and taken home every day.

Cedar Creek Hatchery, where these fish come from, has done an outstanding job with this program. They have brought back a run of fish that 15 years ago was almost lost. We had a seven-day season on Three Rivers and a month season on the Nestucca. Even at that, it was frustrating for the Nestucca fishermen because the season started and ended before many fish showed up. I can remember those times. So now we have quite a contrast. We have a full season on both Three Rivers and the Nestucca, and, because the numbers are so good, ODFW has extended the Three Rivers season. Three Rivers, scheduled to close July 1 to spring chinook will be extended to July 15 due to good numbers.

We have had summer steelhead in the system for awhile, but the numbers were small and with springers on the plate, not many were fishing them.

That has changed. About a week ago, summers started showing up in better numbers and some folks are just tired of catching salmon, so some are beginning to focus on summer steelhead and doing quite well. Smaller baits and hooks and lighter lines are catching most of the steelhead.
