To that end, the STCEVC, together with the Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District is hosting the South County Emergency Preparedness Fair, Saturday, Sept. 24, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the NRFPD’s main station in Hebo.The event will feature a variety of demonstrations, presentations and informational stations designed to educate and provide resources for the public as residents strive to be armed with the information, abilities and equipment needed for when and if the unthinkable happens.
The annual fair is the first since 2019 when more than 100 attended the event. In 2020, the fair was scuttled due to the pandemic and in 2021, although initially planned for, a second cancelation was the eventual decision thanks to a COVID outbreak.“Ourhope is that the community will want more information, and, those that come, will get the information they need to not just survive a disaster but to be really resilient,” Josza said. If we have to leave our community (due to disaster), we want it to rebuild. There have been communities in the world that, after an earthquake and tsunami, haven’t rebuilt. They walked away. We don’t want that to happen in South County. We want to rebuild communities.”

illamook County Creamery Association, which hails itself as a Certified B Corporation®, recently announced it is committing to the following dairy industry’s net zero climate action goals by 2050. Their goals include: achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, optimize water use efficiency while maximizing recycling, and improve water quality by optimizing utilization of manure and nutrients.
Dairy Biodigesters: Digesters use innovative technology to convert manure waste into energy or renewable natural gas, fertilizer, and bedding – a practice many TCCA farmer-owners and milk suppliers are adopting.
Reducing Food Waste: In 2020, TCCA joined the 10x20x30 Food Loss and Waste Initiative, committing to a goal of 50% reduction in food waste in its processing plants by 2030. By diverting food waste to animal feed or by avoiding it all together, TCCA can further reduce emissions.
Regenerative Agriculture Practices: Cover cropping, low or no till, and compost application have been proven to reduce GHG emissions while building soil health, enhancing microbial communities, and improving water quality. Currently, 95% of TCCA farmerowners practice cover cropping and many utilize both low till and compost application to feed production areas. These types of practices will be an important step in helping to achieve the established goals.
Facilities and Fleet:
Enteric Emissions: Cows have amazing digestive systems that can convert grass, corn and agricultural by-products into healthy food, but this results in enteric emissions – cow burps. TCCA will continue to track innovations in feed additives such as seaweed and other supplements that show potential in reducing enteric emissions. Effective and available supplements will be trialed and championed within our cooperative.
Creamery unveils climate action goals
Manure Additives: TCCA is piloting an all-natural manure tank additive on farms in Tillamook County that reduces odor and has been shown to reduce methane by 20%. Currently, 20 farms are using the additive in manure tanks.

In the United States, the dairy industry contributes 2% of total GHG emissions. While the industry has reduced emissions per gallon of milk by more than 60% since the 1940s, TCCA acknowledges there is more work to be done to drive down total emissions.
On Farms:
“The electricity, steam, and fuel that we use at our processing plants and to power our offices and fleet account for only 3% of our total emissions (Scope 1 and 2 emissions),” said Snyder. “The biggest challenge we face in meeting our climate commitment will be engaging our supply chain partners to reduce Scope 3 emissions, which make up 97% of our totalTCCAemissions.”isadopting a multi-faceted approach to its climate action plan involving its facilities and fleet, on-farm practices and packaging.

The Climate Action Plan also includes TCCA’s packaging goals that were announced in 2021. The packaging goals include specific measures such as increasing recycled content to 50% for paper packages and 20% on average for plastic packages by 2025. TCCA funded a life-cycle assessment that found making these changes could significantly reduce GHG emissions from their packaging portfolio. Additionally, TCCA is committing to a goal of 100% of its packaging solutions to being recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2030.
com/climate.
TCCA is developing near-term
To spur progress toward the net-zero goal, TCCA has set an interim goal of 30% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. “At TCCA, our farmers operate with the next generation in mind,” said Paul Snyder, executive vice president of stewardship at TCCA. “Since our founding in 1909, our farmer-owners have built everything with a long-term outlook to ensure that farms and communities are here for generations to come. That’s why being good stewards of cows and farms, of people and products, of our communities and the environment, is central to everything we do.”
TCCA’s environmental sustainability goals are backed by its newly developed Climate Action Plan that defines strategies for making climate-related progress over time. Snyder explains that in the past year, TCCA has worked collaboratively across all departments to outline more than 25 strategies to help achieve the 2030 target. TCCA also teamed with an external consultant to calculate an emissions benchmark, as well as related goals.
Packaging
“Our Climate Action Plan is a roadmap – not a GPS. Implementation will require perseverance and continued collaboration across our cooperative and externally with our supply chain and customers,” said Snyder. “While we don’t have all the answers, we do have a dedication to continuous Improvement, a challenger mindset and inspiration from our farmers that will help protect and preserve our ecosystems now and for future generations.”TCCAwill share its year-over-year progress toward the climate goals in its annual stewardship reports.

Chapman’s training taught him to keep food simple.
“Please come try us again,” Chapman said. “In my opinion, we have the best pizza on the coast. We’re excited to welcome you back.”
Chapman shared that, recently, a man placed an online order, got in his car, and came down to the shop to pick up his pizza. The customer apologized for arriving so soon after placing his order and understood that he would need to wait. To his surprise, his pizza was already boxed up and ready to “It’sgo. been really fun to hear that so many people are happy that we’re open again… it’s affirming,” Chapman said.
Chapman began his culinary career in fine dining, eventually becoming a chef at the Meridian Restaurant in Pacific City and then transitioned into brewing at Pelican Brewing.“Inmy life, I had a desire to go brew and that was one of the draws to come here [Pacific City],” Chapman said. “But, through the power of pizza, [this opportunity] sounded exciting. My first experience at Doryland Pizza was great, but I also saw the potential.”
The most popular items on the menu include the Hawaiian and Deluxe (Canadian bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell pepper, mushroom, olives, and red onion) pizzas.And cranking out all the pies is a staff that Chapman says makes the customer experience a welcoming one.
During its closure, Doryland Pizza’s interior also underwent significant changes. The physical footprint of the restaurant was downsized from a dining room to a lobby with order and takeout windows.
“We changed up the way we take tickets and orders,” Doryland Manager David Chapman said. “There’s new technology with a display screen in the kitchen. This was something I was really excited about. And the feedback I got back from the online ordering has been overwhelmingly positive.”Pizzaeaters can now visit dorylandpizza. com and place a carryout order, choosing from five popular pizza choices, a buildyour own option, and sides of salad and cheesy garlic bread.

n the prep kitchen of Doryland Pizza, a crew readies the restaurant for the day. Boxes are folded. Dough is left to rise. Vegetables are sliced. And an eye is kept on the new point-of-sale system.
After an extended closure and renovation, Pacific City’s pizza joint reopened to customers on July 21 with a new online ordering and carryout system.
With all the changes within the business, Chapman insists that the same great taste that customers remember has been maintained.ADoryland pizza begins with the dough. It rises for 24 hours and then is rolled in semolina, which gives the bottom of the crust a crunch. Sauce and the “best toppings they can find” are added before the creation is sent through a conveyor pizza oven.

“While the shaping event is not live anymore, bidders can still bid on a general shape of a board,” Macy-Baker said. “But if they’re the winner, they get to work with a Northwest shaper to work on the specs of the board [in regards to] their bodyweight and what aspect they like in a board. It’s this incredible team effort [that goes] into making these hand-shaped, custom-made boards.”

Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic returns to live action, Sept. 17-18

“It’s a tradition in the surfing and water community to honor somebody who’s passed away by doing a paddle-out,” Macy-Baker said. “You paddle out to a particular spot on your surfboard, form a circle, and link together. Flowers are often thrown in the ocean…maybe some words are spoken. [The evening] will be a great way to bring the community together and honor some
The finals competition will take place on Sunday morning concluding with an awards ceremony.Coastal Craft, a highlight for many participants and spectators, will remain virtual this year. Premier, local Northwest Shapers will demonstrate the making of their hand-shaped surfboards.
After two years as a virtual event, the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic is returning in-person to the shores of Pacific City.
Around 7 p.m., surfers will come together for a paddle-out in honor of John Newman, avid surfer and owner of Newmans at 988 in Cannon Beach.
By mid-Saturday morning, Ben and Jeff’s breakfast burritos will be available; followed by lunch with Hearth and Table pizza paired with Pelican beer and live Music by Zuhg.
Early Saturday morning, the surfing competition will begin at 7:30 am. At Cape Kiwanda, the surfing zone will be flagged north and south with six surfers in each 15-minute heat throughout the day. Surfers will be judged on their two best waves. Top competitors will advance to the finals on Sunday. This year, the event has an equal number of men, women, and kids’ divisions for a total of 14 competitive groups.
“We already have more participants than we’ve ever had, obviously people really missed it,” said Lisa Macy-Baker, community relations officer for Moment Surf Company.Astheorganizer of the event, Moment Surf Company has sold 220 entry spots to the Sept. 17-18 competition, and can only accept a few more.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Pacific City Skatepark. After years of the Longboard Classic event, a Tony Hawk Foundation grant, and generosity from the Dreamland Skateparks helped complete phase 1 of the project in 2020, which included the installation of a skate bowl and some advanced skating features. With the help of a Transient Lodging Tax Grant and event funds, two-thirds of the money for phase 2 has already been raised and this year’s event could help complete the goal. Phase 2 of the project will add street and accessibility features that make the park moreLongboarduser-friendly.Classic activities will actually open one day before competition on Friday evening. Competitors can pick up their registration packet and swag bag, enjoy the opening of the beer garden by Pelican Brewery, and be treated to live music by Groundswell.“We’vetraditionally had a Brewfest with this event, and we’re hoping that (one day) it comes back,” Macy-Baker said. “Due to staff shortages, it will just be a small garden.”
Local Pacific City shaper Jared Matchniff, owner of Niff Surfboards, will be one of this year’s six featured craftsman.
“Bidding on a custom board at this year’s event allows an individual to be introduced to the craftsmanship side of the industry where shapers build a relationship with you personally to communicate your desires, needs, and Fiberglasswants.”Supply, based out of Burlington Wash., will be donating the foam used in each surfboard; and El Brado Fiberglass out of Camas, Wash., will donate the final projectBiddingglassing.foreach hand-crafted board will begin on Sept. 15 and end on Sept. 18.

During his high school days at Nestucca High School, he and a few other boys from Tillamook formed a surf club. This was before wetsuits were common, and you could only stay in the water for about an hour before turning blue. The three local members were John Benson, Kani Rowland, and Kellow.
Now Pacific City has been discovered, and surfers of every age and gender are part of the scene. You can stay in for three to four hours with the new equipment.
During the 1970s, Glenn and Peggy traveled to other surfing spots up and down the Pacific Coast, including a now well-known site on Vancouver Island. Glenn and Peggy have also spent lots of time in Hawaii and Coast Rica.
Almost no one was surfing in Pacific City during the 1960s and early 1970s. The development of better wetsuits and the reduced weight of boards began to attract more surfers to the Oregon Coast.
Surfing at Cape Kiwanda takes place all year round and is a favorite spot for surfers on the Oregon Coast. Each fall, the annual Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic attracts many surfers, old and new. (See related story on facing page.) A webcam is available to check tides and surfing conditions.
A look into the early days of the surfing scene at Cape Kiwanda
Surfing – Then and Now
In 1963, when he was 13, he watched a Wild World of Sports surfing contest on television and decided to be a surfer.
Surfers can rent boards and take lessons from local surf shops and instructors. The new stand-up boards are becoming part of the local surf scene in the ocean and on the Nestucca River.
ABOVE, Pacific City surfer Glenn Kellow poses during a surfing celebration to honor 50 years of surfing at the cove at Agate Beach, July 19, 2014. From l-r, are Mitch Allera, Dennis Pearson, John Benson, Glenn Kellow, James Burton, and Tony Francisconie. Below, Kellow with his collection of surfboards.
Besides the few local boys, surfers occasionally came from the Valley in the summer with a board on their car or truck. It was unusual to see a female surfer.
LocalGlennresidentKellow began surfing at Cape Kiwanda more than 50 years ago. He grew up in Woods as part of a mink farming and dory fishing family. The only person he knew who owned a board was a cousin, Ray Hagstrom, whose father owned The Hungry Harbor local restaurant.
Kellow continued to surf through his college days at Oregon State University and while teaching at Tillamook and Nestucca High School. He later left teaching, and he and his wife Peggy took an eight-month trip to live in Mexico in their VW bus and get a taste of surfing in warm water and big-wave surfing.

Kellow would hike over the dune in Woods and walk to the beach at Cape Kiwanda. Hagstrom would let him use the surfboard in exchange for washing some dishes at the restaurant. Kellow later bought the board and continued to surf.
In 1987, the Kellow family moved to Bainbridge Island, Washington. They built a house and had several sailboats. Kellow thinks he has surfed every inch of Bainbridge and Puget Sound islands. He then explored surfing spots throughout Washington and the Straight of Juan de Fuca.Kellow has made and refashioned dozens of surfboards. He owns a collection of boards of all sizes and vintages. He has taught his three children, Katie, Kiel, and Emily, to surf, as well as dozens of other young people.

The prelude to this note-burning party began in 2015 when Tom Clark, the longtime owner of the Neskowin Marsh Golf Course, gave notice that he was retiring and closing down the course. That pronouncement spurred a group of about 20 local residents to meet in the back yard of Neskowin resident Tom Eaton’s home to explore how they might find a way to save the course for golf rather than let it return to its natural marsh ecosystem.
IT WAS UP IN FLAMES FOR the ceremonial burning of the mortgage for Neskowin Beach Golf Course as the community effort to buy the golf course recently reached its goal of paying off what it owed the bank to purchase the property. Below, the NBGC Board of Di rectors celebrate with a sip of bubbly and a Kodak moment.
According to Susan Amort, a long time property owner in the community and a founding member of Neskowin Beach Golf Course, Inc., the newly formed organization that acquired the property, “when a group of galvanized people put their minds to something, it comes as no surprise that we could pull off this purchase,” she said. “And thanks to hundreds of generous residents and friends, a 10-year mortgage was secured and has now been paid off two years early,” she happilyWhilenoted.theinitial efforts to acquire the historic golf course had a few skeptics according to Amort, there were enough people in the village who wanted to maintain the course and its value to both local residents and coastal visitors. While brainstorming in Eaton’s back yard, the group conjured up, then put into action a creative way to acquire the golf course, according to founder and current board
Neskowin Beach Golf Course has Mortgage Burning Party
hen a homeowner finally pays off their mortgage, it is a unique cause for celebration. But when an entire community pays off the purchase of an adjoining 90-year-old golf course that has served multiple generations of residents, that calls for a community party.

According to Linman and Amort, NBGC, Inc’s board developed a hybrid financial model to both service the 10-year note and to provide ongoing operating capital and reserves by combining seed money contributions from 66 founders with ample annual usage memberships. In addition, annual ask campaigns helped to pay down the mortgage while building up needed operating reserves. The efforts of these people and many others has secured what the group calls The Heart and Soul of Neskowin.“Thegolf course and club house have become much more than just a place for golf,” said Missy Moss, NBGC’s operations manager. “This facility has increasingly become a hub and gathering place for locals and visitors,” she said. Linman echoed Moss’ sentiment. “Hundreds of people were and are still involved in sustaining this golf course,” said Linman. While the list of key contributors is too long for this story, Linman pointed to people like Ted Braich, NBGC’s board chairman and Lyle Rowland, a key volunteer on the course’s maintenance team, as examples of people heavily committed to sustaining the course for the long run. In fact, Moss estimates that management of the clubhouse and course is handled by roughly 70 percent volunteers.

THIS RENDERING depicts an artists concept of the approved concept plan for the Cape Kiwanda Parking lot.
“This was done with the input of so many people in Pacific City,” said Commissioner David Yamamoto. “I can see that input really within the design concept. I appreciate that very much.”
The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, at its Aug. 13 meeting, unanimously gave the go-ahead for the “Preferred Concept” for the Kiwanda Corridor Project.The3-0 vote followed a presentation by the project team for the redevelopment effort. The plan culminates a long and in-depth public process to conceptually design seven different project elements along the Kiwanda corridor into a cohesive and integrated plan. The outreach effort to gain community input was no small feat and included: 100-plus in-person participants at the spring open house; 270 responses to the online community survey; 660 online participants and constant contact list; 18 different stakeholder groups

need to mitigate safety and manage growing congestion in Pacific City, especially at the Cape. The Kiwanda Corridor Project Preferred Concept is designed to achieve this. It ties together multiple County properties and supports the development of other public spaces with a thoughtfully programmed design that disperses crowds, creates opportunities for outdoor play and education, and promotes stewardship of Pacific City as a whole.
“This is a concept so the details that people are worried about have yet to be decided upon,” she added. “This isn’t engineering. This isn’t the final design. This is a concept, and I think the concept is beautiful.”

The seven project elements include the Cape Kiwanda Parking Lot, a Multi-Use Path, Tillamook County’s Webb Park, the Jensen Property, NVCA Community Park, Wayfinding and Shuttle Services, and Shorepine Village Boardwalk.

That sentiment was echoed by Commissioner Mary Faith Bell.
“It’s a beautiful concept,” she said. “It makes me happy to look at your (conceptual) slides and think about what Pacific City will look like when we accomplish this, however long it takes. It’s just going to be a modelThatcommunity.”said,sheemphasized that the conceptual plans are just that — conceptual.
According to Oeder, upon arrival he observed significant fire in the living room of one condo unit.
“The wind shows what wind can do to any size fire,” Oeder said. “That’s what helped escalate this fire. We probably had 30-plus mph winds pushing that fire.”
Tillamook County Democrats recently to announced that they will open their 2022 Campaign Headquarters in downtown Tillamook, at 307 Main Ave. (across from the movie theater). The office will be open to the public Monday, Sept. 12, through Saturday, Nov. 12, 2-6 p.m. weekdays, and 10-4 p.m. weekends.
Cloverdale welcomes the classics
With the rising winds and dry weather, Oeder said he is recommending no campfires until the morning of Sunday, Sept. 11 due to “Red Flag” warnings.
“We want everyone to come (to the beach) and enjoy it but, please, be very careful. Oregon State Parks has banned all campfires on the beach, but we are recommending that people don’t have a campfire until Sunday when we get in a new weather system.”
THOUGH PREDICTED RAINS — which faded early — kept the masses away, the His toric Cloverdale Cruisin still hosted a number of unique and shiny classics during its annual event on Sept. 3. Above, attendees take time examining the powerplants under the hood. Pictured, at left, is the best of show trophy winner, a 1929 Ford Model-T Pickup owned by Chuck Lawrence of Tilla mook.

Firefighters battle blaze in Neskowin
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
A three-alarm fire did major damage to a Neskowin condo and significant damage to a neighboring one when a fire erupted on Sept. 7 at The Breakers, a condo development in Neskowin that consists of 11 units, most of which are separated by an approximately five-foot walking space between them.
In all, Oeder said 25 to 30 personnel, six fire engines and five different types of support vehicles were on scene to fight the blaze that had engulfed the two-story condo.
FIRE CONCERNS RECOMMENDATIONPROMPT
Though an exact cause had yet to be determined, Oeder said the fire started in the living room.
The group says that local Democratic community members have been working hard to create a welcoming and safe place where people can peacefully gather who want to learn about who Democrats are and what they stand for. The space will supply information about local, state, and national Democratic candidates and issues and will be a place for people to work together to advance their shared Democratic values. It will be an opportunity

TILLAMOOK COUNTY DEMOCRATS will open their 2022 Campaign Headquarters on Sept. 12.
Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief James Oeder was the first on scene at the fire at 5:25 p.m. with the first engine arriving three minutes later. Oeder told the Sun that it took firefighters from NRFPD, North Lincoln Fire, Tillamook Fire, and Oceanside/Netarts Fire about an hour to get the blaze under control. In total, crews worked until approximately 9 p.m. to fully douse all hot spots.
“Shortly after that, the winds picked up,” he said. “The outside wall of (the first involved condo had opened up and the door on the beach side had been opened the whole time. That pushed the flames out, and that’s what started the second (condo) unit on fire.”
“The first sustained heavy damage, and the second unit (sustained) between moderate and heavy damage,” he added. “I think the second unit is going to be repairable, but, for the first unit, I’m not sure if they’ll be able to repair it without new construction.”
Oeder said a significant driving factor for the fire — and its spread — was the wind present that day. He said that at one point, there was concern for a third unit as well as nearby cars, a concern that caused the fire to go from a two-alarm blaze to a three-alarm fire. That upgrade is what brought OceansideNetarts Fire to the call.
