On Our Cover:

s the Visit Tillamook Coast tourism initiative geared up to request a significant jolt of Transient Lodging Tax funds, members of the county’s Tourism Advisory Committee spent much of their Sept. 23 meeting working toward a protocol for spending TLT money on infrastructure projects.

Doug Olson, board chair of the Tillamook County Economic Development Council that has a three-year contract to administer and disburse TLT tourism funds subject to county oversight, told TAC members that he will appear before the county commissioners on Oct. 8.

Olson, who owns the Inn at Pacific City, is the EDC’s liaison to the TAC, which advises the EDC on tourism strategy.

Olson will provide a financial update to the county commissioners, who also will see presentations on the tillamookcoast.com tourism website and television commercials for Visit Tillamook Coast.

“Essentially what I will be telling them is all the money we’ve had so far and what it’s been spent on, and then what we intend to spend it on for the remainder of this fiscal year,” Olson told TAC members. “I think the county has about $340,000 on deposit now and I’m going to ask for all of it.”

Olson will go over the tourism initiative’s $1.12 million adopted budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal year, which was bolstered by about $100,000 in TLT funds carried over from the fiscal year that ended June 30. Assuming the county releases funds as expected, Olson said the first order of business will be to replenish the coffers of Tillamook Bay Community College, which has advanced about $200,000 to pay the tourism initiative’s bills.

The remaining funds, Olson said, would get Visit Tillamook Coast through the rest of the year. He added that an even bigger financial boost is expected in late

November or early December, when TLT revenues will come in from the historically most tourist-heavy third quarter.

Olson told the Sun that he expects total TLT receipts for 2014 to be $2 million or more, based on historic trends and “not just wishful thinking.” That amount would bring about $1.4 million to the tourism initiative, with about $550,000 going to county roads after administration costs are subtracted.

The adopted tourism budget includes $276,000 for infrastructure plus a $100,000 contingency fund that could go to the same purpose, opening the door to a lengthy discussion at the Sept. 23 meeting.

Paul Levesque, the county commissioners’ chief of staff, created a proposed procedure for requesting and awarding funds for entities seeking infrastructure money. He went over four documents — a request for proposals, grant contract, grant application and land-use information form — that he aggregated from EDC/TAC suggestions, his own ideas and forms used by other agencies.

TAC discussions have touched on several possibilities for the use of infrastructure funds, ranging from wayfinding signs to restrooms, beach stairs, parking lots, waysides, travel centers, information kiosks or a convention center. Levesque said state law requires such funds to be spent on “improved real property that has a useful life of 10 or more years,” meaning wayfinding signs would need to come from the tourism promotion budget and other projects would need to be examined to make sure they fit the criteria.

Levesque’s draft of a request for proposals includes a suggestion by Olson that could weight infrastructure projects toward South County, the source of more than half of TLT funds. Since incorporated cities in the central and northern parts of the county had pre-existing lodging taxes, most of the revenue from the 9-monthold county lodging tax is coming from

Commission names ODFW interim director

unincorporated areas such as Pacific City.

“There’s still an ongoing conversation that most of the money is generated in a certain part of the county,” Olson said. “Should there be some preference given to that part of the county over something essentially similar elsewhere? … Right now, the bulk of the money, over 50 percent, comes from South County. So should there be some weighting towards that, or not?”

“I think that’s edging pretty close to a direct violation of the ordinance,” said TAC member Justin Aufdermauer, director of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce, referring to the TLT implementing ordinance that says the county commissioners “shall not require specific allocations or create earmarks” in their contract with EDC. Levesque was dubious about Aufdermauer’s interpretation of the ordinance, and TAC member Jeremy Strober, president of Kiwanda Hospitality, raised a concern that small or unincorporated communities might be cut out of infrastructure proposals due to an inability to come up with matching or leveraged funds and a lack of money for designs and plans.

TAC members Strober, Aufdermauer, Mary Faith Bell and Shirley Kalkhoven will join with Levesque to go over the proposed infrastructure documents, and will come back to a future meeting with recommended changes.

A discussion of the tillamookcoast. com website focused on errors and omissions, and the hope that community members will send suggestions for corrections or edits to info@tillamookdesign. com.

“Websites of this type do tend to be self-policing,” said interim tourism director John Hope-Johnstone. He said he’s been getting calls from community members with questions about the site, and added: “Enough eyes on the website will eventually calm it all down.”

Fire District hosts ‘Safety Fair’

The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission has appointed Curt Melcher as the interim director of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Melcher, 50, has worked for ODFW for 27 years, most recently as the deputy director for Fish and Wildlife Programs. Prior to that, he served as the Fish Division assistant administrator for the Columbia River and Marine Programs. He began his new position and duties effective Oct. 1 and will serve until the Commission appoints a new permanent replacement for the agency.

The Commission will consider its recruiting process, timeline and criteria for the next director at its next regular meeting on Oct. 10 in Medford.

T

he Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District will host a “Safety Fair,” on Saturday, Oct. 17, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., that will address a wide array of safety-related information designed to educate the community on a number of safety issues.

Participating agencies at the event, which will be held at Nestucca Fire’s administrative center and fire hall in Hebo, include the Tillamook Emergency Management Office, Oregon Department of Forestry, North Lincoln Fire and Rescue, and Tillamook PUD. Other

agencies — yet to be confirmed — have also been invited. Also on tap will be live fire and vehicle extrication demonstrations, as well as station tours.

Nestucca Fire training officer Jim Oeder told the Sun that the event is designed to bring the public and experts on safety together.

“We’ll be able to get a lot of good information on safety out to the public,” he said.

The district also hopes the event will serve as a recruitment tool and will have a booth dedicated to that task.

FAMILY FUN included a morning picking up trash for this trio, who took part in the 30th annual SOLV Beach & Riverside Cleanup. The family did their part at the Sand Lake cleanup, one of four SOLVE designated cleanup spots in South Tillamook County.

Solving the Trash Problem

M

ore than 4,700 volunteers came out in force on Sept. 27 to remove trash and improve Oregon’s environment as part of the 30th anniversary of the SOLVE Beach & Riverside Cleanup, presented by the Oregon Lottery. The event was also part of the International Coastal Cleanup and National Public Lands Day. This year, 52,200 pounds of trash and debris were collected from more than 110 project sites including beaches, rivers, neighborhoods, parks, and school grounds around the state. Invasive non-native plants were cleared from three acres of natural area and 51 native trees and shrubs were planted. Of the 4,700 volunteers, nearly 2,000 were youth and students.

In South Tillamook County, volunteers rolled up their sleeves at four different sites — Neskowin Wayside, Winema, Pacific City and Sand Lake.

Up the coast, there were some strange finds, including a box of solar lights found by volunteers at the Netarts Bay Boat Ramp Cleanup. Volunteering since 1984, the Rockaway Beach Lions Club also found bike racks, canopies, shoes and cell phones. Their 125 volunteers received free lunch as a thank you for their unique haul.

The Beach & Riverside Cleanup began in 1984 as “The Plague of Plastics” after Oregonians Judie Hansen and Eleanor Dye were inspired to rid the state’s beaches of litter. In the first year alone, volunteers removed 21 tons of trash.

“This event is truly inspiring because it starts with Oregonians noticing a problem in their local neighborhood, park or beach and wanting to make a difference,” said Joy Irby, SOLVE program coordinator.

NEWS&COMMUNITY Commissioners to weigh Neskowin zoning restrictions

Surfers Make a Splash

Tillamook County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at the Tillamook County Courthouse on Wednesday, Oct. 8, starting at 10:30 a.m., to consider an amendment that would establish special zoning restrictions in Neskowin.

The hearing, which will accept oral testimony, comes on the heels of an Aug. 14 vote by the Tillamook County Planning Commission that recommended county commissioners adopt proposals in the Neskowin Coastal Erosion Adaption Plan. Those that cannot attend the meeting can submit written comments to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, 1510-B Third St., Tillamook, OR 97141.

Written testimony will be accepted until Oct. 7 at 4 p.m.

If the commissioners do give the plan the thumbs up, it would establish new limits on development in the hazard area. Those changes would affect new construction, improvements in excess of 50 percent of a building’s value, and post-damage reconstruction above 80 percent in value. Though commissioners may vote up or down following the hearing on Oct. 8, they are leaving open the possibility of holding off until their Oct. 29 meeting to make a decision. For more details on the proposed ordinance amendment, visit www. co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ComDev.

Tillamook PUD to fete Public Power Week Tillamook PUD will celebrate Public Power Week, Oct. 5 -11, along with more than 2,000 other community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 47 million Americans.

“Public Power Week celebrates Tillamook PUD’s reliable, affordable electricity for our community,” said general manager Ray Sieler. “Public Power Week gives us the chance to emphasize the advantages of being a locally owned and operated not-forprofit utility. .”

Tillamook PUD invites community members to stop by the PUD office during Public Power Week, Oct. 6-10, for light refreshments. Customers can also receive two CFLs, while supplies last.

Portions of Wildlife Refuge open for duck hunting

T

he U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is providing an opportunity for hunters to harvest ducks and coots on a portion of Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

“Duck hunting has not been offered on any part of Nestucca Bay Refuge since it was established in 1991, but now we are opening 141 acres to this wildlife-dependent opportunity which helps fulfill refuge objectives developed as part of the Nestucca Bay Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan,” stated Roy Lowe, project leader for the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex.

USFWS will begin allowing hunting of ducks and coots on Oct. 11 on 108 acres of Brooten Marsh and 33 acres at the mouth of Little Nestucca River of the Nestucca Bay Refuge. Hunting will be allowed on these refuge lands seven days per week in accordance with state and

federal regulations. Hunters can access refuge lands two hours before sunrise and up to one hour after sunset. Goose hunting will remain closed on all lands within Nestucca Bay Refuge to provide sanctuary for wintering Canada geese.

Brooten Marsh is a salt marsh located where the Nestucca River joins the Little Nestucca River. Hunters can access the area either by boat or walking in from a pull-out along Brooten Road near the southeast corner of the marsh.

Access to the mouth of the Little Nestucca River is only possible by boat.

State hunting license requirements apply to duck and coot hunting on the refuge. Refuge regulations prohibit the construction of permanent blinds on any portion of the Refuge. However, hunters may use portable blinds or build temporary blinds from on-site dead vegetation or driftwood. Tempo-

rary blinds and decoys must be removed from the Refuge following each day’s hunt, and only federally approved nontoxic shot may be transported and used on the Refuge. The 2014-2015 Oregon Game Bird Regulations can be reviewed at www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/waterfowl. For more information or to view a map of the areas open to hunting, visit www.fws.gov/oregoncoast/ nestuccabay/index.htm or call the Refuge manager at 541-867-4550.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The agency seeks to be both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation. For more information on the work of USFWS, visit www.fws.gov.

Making a Community Park a Reality NVCA annual meeting to address planned community park and possibility of cooperation with State Parks

K

atie Duzik, Oregon State Parks & Recreation Department’s natural resource specialist for the Coastal Region, will discuss Sand Lake’s upcoming state park known locally as Beltz Farm during the 2014 annual meeting of the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, held at Pacific Coast Bible Church, on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m.

Beltz Farm, a 357-acre parcel located adjacent the Sand Lake Estuary, was purchased by OPRD — through Ecotrust last month — and is expected to open in early 2016.

During the presentation, Duzik will touch on learning opportunities built-in to the Beltz Farm Park planning, including field trips, nature studies and a number of hiking trails through differing habitats and wetlands. She will also share similarities in their park planning process to that of the NVCA, and will point out ways that the two parks can complement and assist each other. Duzik is expected to speak for about 20 minutes, after which the NVCA regular business will convene.

The NVCA agenda will include a recap of its 2014 accomplishments, including the spring fund-raising

campaign, “One Foot at a Time,” which succeeded in raising enough funds to completely fence the park, its Spring Break educational presentation on “Birds of Prey,” an equally well-attended kite building workshop, a Science Pub on the Erosion of the Tillamook Coast, completion of the park fence and apron, winning a TPUD grant for $5,500, and what NVCA says was a very successful summer Science Camp.

NVCA goals for the coming year include the selection of a designer to complete the final concept and master plans for the park, grading and clearing of the park property, and other organizational developments that NVCA says will impact its work in the community.

During the meeting, there will be an opportunity to meet the site planning and park development and education committee as well as the candidates nominated for the NVCA Board. The floor will be opened for nominations and community members attending will have the opportunity to elect the NVCA Board of Directors.

Those interested in park development are encouraged to attend. For more information, visit www.Nestucca. org.

illamook County’s months-long search for a tourism director is over, with Portland resident Nan Devlin chosen to head the tax-funded Visit Tillamook Coast project.

Devlin’s start date is Dec. 1, but she plans to work part-time starting in October, interviewing and listening in local communities as she begins her relationship with the county.

Commendable Effort

Neskowin Valley School announces 2014-15 school schedule, new staff

Photo courtesy of Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School

NESTUCCA JR.-SR. HIGH SCHOOL student Drace Moeller (at right) is congratulated by school principal Randy Wharton for being named a “Commended Student” on the strength of his practice SAT test score, which placed him amongst the top 50,000 out of 1.5 million nationwide who took the test. Oregon gives the PSAT test to all sophomore students in the state. There is also a “Students of Merit” award given to the top 16,000, but Moeller did not make the cut for this level.

Neskowin Valley School recently announced a year-round school schedule that started Sept. 15 and runs through August 2015. A calendar of 45 days on and 15 days off will alternate throughout the school year. The school will have open enrollment all year long.

NVS also recently hired executive administrator​​Kelly Ellis, who will oversee the administration of school business as well as coordinating the teaching staff. Ellis and her family recently re-located to the area, and she has already become involved in the school community.

In addition, three new teachers have commenced with classroom preparations and are collaborating on curriculum and class configuration.

Reportedly, teachers were drawn to NVS because of its focus on placebased, individualized learning allowing students to explore their own personal interests while achieving core knowledge skills.

Some of the programs already in place for the year include art, yoga, and Spanish language, as well as gardening utilizing NVS’s labyrinth garden adjacent to the school house.

NVS has chosen the theme “Community” for the year and students will be learning about building community with each other and with school

neighbors. Plus, they’ll examine how people created community throughout Oregon’s history. The science curriculum will include the study of plant and animal communities​​.

NVS has also issued an open invitation to join the school every Tuesday from 8:30-9 a.m. for its morning “sing” tradition as well as on Wednesdays from 11-11:30 a.m. for its “Gather ‘round” where students, teachers, and friends from the community share their interests and knowledge with the school. Those interested in sharing a presentation with the children are asked to contact the school for more details.

The school’s various fundraising events will commence on Oct. 4, when NVS hosts its annual Harvest Festival, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on school grounds. Billed as an event that is fun for all ages, activities will include a silent auction with arts, crafts and gift certificates up for bid, a marketplace featuring local farmers and artists, grilled food, a beer garden, pony rides, games and live music.

Now in its 42nd year, NVS has an active scholarship program that provides financial assistance, which the school is soliciting donations for.

THE LUMPY WATERS SYMPOSIUM will offer world-class instruction to more than 100 sea kayakers when it returns to Pacific City for its sixth iteration, Oct. 10-12. More than 35 instructors — from as far away as Scotland – will teach paddlers a variety of skills including how to deal with the surf, rolling technique, edging and bracing and seamanship.

Mastering their

AMONGST THE MOST POPULAR classes at Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe’s Lumpy Water Symposium is a class entitled “Fear to Fun in the Surf,” which teaches basic knowledge of how to paddle safely in the surf zone.

hen it comes to mastering the art of paddling a sea kayak, Pacific City has it all. From the challenging surf off of Cape Kiwanda to the flatwater of Nestucca Bay, there’s an environment to practice nearly every paddling skill. And so it’s for good reason that the town will once again host the Lumpy Water Symposium, an annual event that Photo by Tim Hirsch attracts a host of renowned instructors from as far away as Scotland and attendees from all over North America.

Now in its sixth year, this year’s three-day celebration of sea kayaking, sponsored by Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe of Portland, will be held Oct. 10-12 in locations throughout Pacific City. Classes, which run from 1 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10 to 2 p.m on Sunday, Oct.

12, teach a variety of skills. “(The event offers) a combination of a world-class venue where there is amazing surf and access to the ocean as well as the best coaching,” says organizer Paul Kuthe. “You can’t really beat having a surf beach with a pub right there. The social aspect of the event is big — having a place to gather at the Pelican is great.”

Though with more than 100 paddlers signed up, this year’s event is filled to capacity, the collection of paddlers seems to always draw a crowd intent on seeing the paddlers in action — especially in the surf zone. All told, 35 instructors will be teaching skills ranging from perfecting a roll to boat control, longboat surfing to refining your forward stroke, and edging and bracing to dealing with the surf. There are also excursions that teach rock garden safety and rescue and seaman safety. Kuthe says one of the most popular is “Fear to Fun in the Surf,” which teaches basic knowledge of how to paddle safely in the surf zone.

And as far as he is concerned, there are few places that can compare with Pa-

cific City when it comes to the diversity of environments to teach these pivotal kayaking skills.

“There’s a lot of different skill levels out there, (Pacific City allows us) to challenge them all,” he says, pointing to the diversity of the different types of environments — from a flatwater bay to rough surf to the close proximity of sea caves.

All of that has added up to rave reviews from participants, who Kuthe says come away excited about their newfound skills.

“A lot of people have their first taste of real rough-water ocean paddling,” says Kuthe. “We get a lot of feedback about how knowledgeable our coaches are (in helping them achieve new skill).”

Still, he says the biggest take away for participants is the friends they make. “(Having kayakers all bound together as one tribe really gives people a fun sense of camaraderie,” Kuthe says.

Peak Forest Fruit will also have fresh mushrooms for sale. There will also be an opportunity to experience a live mushroom cooking demonstration, complete with a recipe and samples.

The cooking demo will feature two-time American Culinary Federation award winner Michael Valoppi, of Choice Point Hospitality Group in Sisters, Ore. With the philosophy that food is the only art form where all five human senses are brought into play, Valoppi enjoys preparing simple dishes that truly speak for themselves with a splash of wow in the mix.

The Lincoln City Culinary Center hosts four annual cook-offs: Jambalaya, Fish Taco, Wild Mushroom and Chowder, each featuring some of the best chefs in the Pacific Northwest. For more information about the Wild Mushroom Cook-Off, contact the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau at 800-4522151 or visit www.oregoncoast.org.

Struggling With Cancer?

You Don’t Have To Do It Alone!

THE NESTUCCA LADY BOBCATS recorded a team cross country victory at the Kiwanda Challenge, held Saturday, Sept. 19, behind the strength of four runners finishing in the top 5.

Best at the Beach

nder ideal conditions, the Nestucca lady’s cross country team dominated the 2014 edition of the Kiwanda Challenge, held Saturday, Sept. 19. Nestucca’s third race of the season began on the loose, unforgiving sands of Cape Kiwanda Beach before looping around to McPhillips Beach to the north. The 5,000-meter race finished with a 100-meter climb up the mountainous dune back in the Cape.

The boys followed suit with a thirdplace showing during the annual beach race, putting three runners in the top 20.

Junior Raymond Jackson-Cruz led the way with an 11th place finish, coming in with a time of 24:23. It was Jackson’s best finish of the year.

Riverdale would claim the team win for the boys, owning every spot in the top five and six of the top seven finishes.

Guy Eroh easily topped the competition with a 31-second win.

On the strength of four Nestucca runners finishing in the top five, the Lady Bobcats’ Cross Country secured a team win in the race.

Senior Rebekah Whittles won her fourth race of her high school career and the first of her 2014 campaign.

Whittles finished the daunting race in 27:32, a full 10 seconds quicker than Lilih Abrams of Riverdale, the secondplace finisher.

Freshman Jaykayla Jackson was the only 9th-grader to finish in the top 10 during the Ladies’ portion of the race, clocking in with an impressive time of 28:52.

Payton Hopkins and Monica Chatelain finished third and fourth, respectively, for the Bobcats to help the team to the overall win.

Head Cross Country Coach Gordon Whitehead sees big things coming from both the boys and girls teams this season and has high hopes for the coming months.

“I’ve been very pleased with their performance so far. Both our boys and girls have a great shot at making it to state this year,” said Whitehead. “With our depth, the girls could take districts as well.”

Later in the week, Nestucca’s girls found similar success at the Jefferson Invitational. Whittles and Hopkins finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

Bradley Shaw finished 13th, leading the boys.

Up next for the Cross Country team is the Chemawa Invitational on Thursday, Oct. 9th in Salem.

Facing Fate with Faith, a Bible devotional written by two sisters who have each endured four cancer battles, shares their incredible journey of how God has strengthened them in their fight against this dreadful disease.

Regardless of your stage or progression of disease, you can find messages intended just for you. Facing Fate with Faith reminds you that you are not alone.
