‘Not a Ban’: Most efforts will focus on the beach
More cops,
less camping
Continued from Page 1A
despite a statewide burn ban.
Residents complained of park-
ing issues and rowdy parties.
Police said they were stretched
dangerously thin, and did not
receive clear directions about
what rules to enforce with
beach visitors.
On July 5, the dunes were
scarred with burn marks and
tire tracks, dumpsters and
port-a-potties were over-
lowing, and the beach was
littered with trash, environ-
mentally harmful irecracker
debris, and even human
waste. Locals were left to
clean up the mess.
“It was a learning curve!”
Cozby said, as she recalled
the town halls, and seemingly
countless meetings and email
exchanges that the Not a Ban
volunteers engaged in as part
of the effort to regain some
local control over an event
dominated by out-of-town
visitors.
“Just learning the multiple
agencies that have jurisdiction
on the beach was amazing,”
Cozby said. “Just learning
what all the moving parts were
and then trying to bring them
together. That was probably
what we thought was going
to be the hardest part, but it
turned out to be one of the eas-
iest things.”
This year, consistency is
key, Cozby said. Business
leaders, police and volunteers
will promote a uniied mes-
sage about what is and isn’t
OK.
“One of the problems on
the peninsula (last year) was
people giving different infor-
mation. Everyone agreed; we
have to all give the same mes-
sage, we have to all back it
up,” Cozby explained. Most
efforts will focus on the beach,
since that’s where most of the
action happens, Cozby said.
Local and state police
agencies will provide signii-
cantly more oficers than last
year. Parks, for example, plans
to provide about 10 rang-
ers, compared to about three
last year, according to Cozby.
Group members hope that will
free up local oficers to deal
with problems on roads and in
neighborhoods.
For the irst time in a long
time, there will be a serious
effort to enforce the beach
camping ban. To make this
possible, State Parks staff had
to modify the vague language
in their existing policy, Cozby
said.
“Parks is putting up tem-
porary signage on approaches,
reminding people not to camp.
That has led to so many of the
Bob Duke/For EO Media Group
The morning of July 5, looking south from Long Beach’s
Bolstad beach approach, was a scene of many people
camped on the beach in violation of state law. This week-
end, Washington State Parks and other authorities plan an
active enforcement campaign to curtail camping and oth-
er illegal practices that contributed to a sense of events
being out of control.
problems. People are having
a good time, they’re partying,
they’re drinking, they’re car-
rying on,” Cozby explained.
If beachgoers don’t cooperate
with the better-publicized rules
this year, she said, the rangers
“will be giving citations.”
“There is a $99 civil infrac-
tion in the code for illegal
ires, leaving rubbish or ‘san-
itation’ (using dunes instead
of restrooms, to put it politely)
and a $150 civil infraction for
camping on the beach, which
is illegal,” State Parks spokes-
woman Virginia Painter said.
All other trafic and criminal
laws also are enforced on the
beach.
Additionally,
peninsula
businesses have agreed to dis-
play more than 150 posters and
banners that provide guide-
lines for celebrating safely and
responsibly, and Sid’s grocery
store and Jack’s Country Store
will distribute liers in cus-
tomers’ grocery bags over the
weekend.
Cozby praised business
owners for quickly agreeing to
help out, and members of the
Parks’ communications team,
who contributed signiicantly
to the effort to create these
informational materials.
No policy changes
Cozby said that when ofi-
VW: ‘There are variations in each case’

570,000 2.0- and 3.0-liter die-
sel vehicles in the United
States, concealing the exis-
tence of “defeat device” soft-
ware installed in the vehi-
cles. The software enabled the
company to circumvent emis-
sions standards for certain air
pollutants.
VW and Porsche misrep-
resented the cars as environ-
mentally friendly and com-
pliant with federal and state
emissions standards, Rosen-
blum said. In fact, the vehi-
cles emitted harmful amounts
of nitrogen oxides, she said.
Tuesday’s
settlements
resolve consumer claims
raised by 38 states, the federal
government and car owners in
private class action suits.
Rosenblum and Gov. Kate
Brown made the settlement
announcements
Tuesday
morning at the World Trade
Center in Portland.
Lake Oswego attorney Tim
Quenelle is waiting for the
legal dust to settle before he
celebrates — if you can call it
that — Tuesday’s announce-
ment by Volkswagen.
“I am impressed with Volk-
swagen’s ability to fess up and
try to bring peace to the val-
ley as quickly as they did,”
says Quenelle, co-counsel on
more than three dozen state
and federal lawsuits brought
by VW owners across Oregon
who purchased the affected
diesel models. “They’ve cer-
tainly worked very hard under
immense pressure to do what
probably could be the fairest
thing for just about everyone
involved in this.”
That doesn’t mean all of
Quenelle’s clients are going
to jump into the VW class-ac-
tion lawsuit pool and scoop
up cash and other consider-
ations in a settlement (which
still must be approved by a
judge). Far from it. Quenelle
and co-counsel David Suger-
man of Portland are press-
ing ahead with their 19 state
lawsuits against Volkswagen
of America Inc., and their 19
federal cases (which have
been lumped into the federal
case pending in California).
Any acceptable class-ac-
tion settlement, Quenelle
says, “has to be in the middle
of a bell-shaped curve.” But
individual cases, like those he
and Sugerman represent, can
push for more money in dam-
ages based on each VW own-
ers’ experiences and costs.
“There are variations in
each case,” he says.
Most of the individ-
ual cases represented by
Quenelle and Sugerman were
iled by VW owners who
claimed they were enticed
by Volkswagen’s deceptive
advertising to purchase the
“clean diesel” cars. Claims
vary, but most of the plain-
tiffs have asked the court to

“In order to have a change
for 2017, the county would
have had to do the steps,
including town meetings,
forums, workshops with the
public — to have that going,
and they chose not to,” Cozby
explained. “They want to wait
and see how this year goes.
So that means unless there’s
some huge change that hap-
pens to the state law, we can’t
have any (local) change until
2018.” Cozby said commis-
sioners did attend many meet-
ings, and were “supportive” in
other respects.
“We have met with them,
we have written them, we
have done all sorts of efforts
on that. I’m not sure that we
were always heard that well,”
Cozby said. “They wanted
to see if our efforts made a
change. That’s what it comes
down to. They want to see
what happens this year. We’re
saying, ‘We already have an
idea of what potentially could
happen.”
Cozby said Not a Ban
members plan to continue
advocating for policy changes
and additional outreach efforts
over the coming year. A date
has yet to be set, but the group
will host a public town hall
some time later in July.
“We understand that this is
a long haul. It’s not going to be
over on the ifth,” Cozby said.

grant them the full value of
their cars — some of which
sold for more than $30,000
— and punitive damages.
There were nearly 30 indi-
vidual and class-action cases
pending against Volkswagen
of America in Oregon’s U.S.
District Court. Most of them
were moved in mid-June to
federal court in Northern
California, where more than
100 cases have been iled
since the emissions-defeat-
ing software scandal broke in
September 2015.
Volkswagen oficials have
not commented on the indi-
vidual lawsuits, but expressed
regret last fall about the die-
sel engine software decep-
tion. Martin Winterkorn,
Volkswagen AG chief exec-
utive oficer, issued a state-
ment in September saying he
was “deeply sorry” for the
deception and the company
would work to retain custom-
ers’ trust.
cials and community leaders
realized how serious locals’
concerns were, they generally
took real initiative to come up
with solutions.
“Once it got on their radar,
they went ahead and started
scheduling meetings them-
selves and working together.
That part came very simply.
That was really a bonus for
us,” Cozby said.
However, she noted that
while outreach efforts are
going really well, an attempt
to change local policy was
not successful. In Washing-
ton, counties can impose local
restrictions on ireworks sales
and use. About half of all coun-
ties have created policies that
are more restrictive than state
law, but Paciic County has not.
Not a Ban members asked
Paciic County commission-
ers to take preliminary steps
toward changing the local
ordinance, but commissioners
declined to do so.
“We worked very hard to
try and help our commission-
ers understand that this was
something that needed atten-
tion,” Cozby said. The com-
missioners’ decision was
disappointing to group mem-
bers, because it was perhaps
the most substantial thing the
county could have done, and
because the process moves
very slowly.
