itka Center will hose “Mingle and Muse” Tuesday, Sept. 18, part of a free series of presentations by visiting writers and artists. Organizers are hailing the event as an opportunity to explore the Sitka Center studios, converse with creative people and experience the life and work of professional artist, William Park. The event begins with mingling and light snacks at 4:30 p.m. followed by the presentation at 5 p.m.

Sitka Center painting instructor and past artist-in-residence William Park will host the last “Mingle and Muse” event of the summer. Park’s work combines subjects from nature with a touch of abstraction for unpredictably striking results, creating work that inspires the viewer, taking them to a place that exists in emotion not reality.

“We often hear from people who live locally that

they’ve never been to the Sitka. This casual, free event is a delightful way to check out the Sitka Center while enjoying a lively presentation about art,” says Jalene Case, program manager at Sitka Center.

For a complete list of “Mingle and Muse” dates, presenters and driving directions, visit www.sitkacenter. org or call their office at 541-994-5485.

Committed to expanding the relationships between art, nature and humanity, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology is well known for its workshop and residency programs. Located on Cascade Head, with views of the Pacific Ocean and Salmon River, Sitka Center offers a place where artists, writers, scientists, and musicians of all abilities and backgrounds come to nourish and inspire their creativity.

T

he community can get a first-hand glimpse at the area’s newest home of higher education on Monday, Sept. 10 when Tillamook Bay Community College and Nestucca Valley School District host an open house and dedication at TBCC South, a new 2,400 square foot campus that will host both college and high school classes.

Located on the grounds of Nestucca Valley Jr.-Sr. High School, the new building, which was built by Modern Building Systems of Aumsville, Ore., features two classrooms — one of which is a completely outfitted computer lab — as well as a conference room. The general classroom will be named in honor of Eva and Marvin Noble, who are also being honored with Cloverdale’s upcoming Noble Wayside. TBCC President Connie Green said the couple are longtime education advocates and that Eva is a former TBCC board member.

To celebrate the readiness of the new building, the community is invited to peruse the classrooms and sample snacks and goodies provided by Grateful Bread Bakery and Blacktail Cafe from 4-6 p.m. And at 5:30 p.m., officials will commemorate the building with a dedication ceremony. TBCC Board Chair Craig Wakefield will make opening comments, followed by remarks by Nestucca Valley School Board Chair Ken Henson, Nestucca Superintendent Kathryn Hedrick and Green.

Following the open house, TBCC and Nestucca Valley boards will hold a joint board meeting from 6:30-7 p.m. during which Green said they will

discuss ways they can work together to maximize the space for both institutions.

“It’s a way to have a conversation. This is something that we should start doing together so we can plan and dream together,” she said.

She added that the college plans to hold one board meeting a year at the South County campus.

The building of the campus was made possible by the passing of a $15 million bond in May 2007. Numbers on some site development costs were not available at press time, but construction and foundation costs were $363,000. “(Former TBCC President) Jon Carnahan really gets the kudos,” said Hedrick. “He spearheaded the day-today of getting the building in place. It wouldn’t have happened without his help and Randy’s.”

The cooperation between the two schools is one that, by all accounts, will pave the way for greater opportunities for students and the community, too.

“It’s exciting to be finally at this point,” Green told the Sun. “It’s the completion of a promise and the beginning of hope. It’s not just about the college — it’s a place where all of us can make it better together.”

Those sentiments were shared by Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Randy Wharton, who said the addition of a computer lab will allow students greater opportunities to doe research, term papers or online education. Currently, from January to the middle of May the school’s computer lab is taken up for state testing of student achievement.

“Tillamook Bay is a great partner,” he said. “It’s amazing the things we do

with them. The thing I’m most excited about is the classroom fully connected to the internet with 25 workstations. That’s the most important part for us right now.”

“We have a goal to deliver more college level classes to students and this will help us achieve that,” added Hedrick. “We’re excited not only for high school-age students but any age student because adults will be able to access the building to get additional skills training.”

Fall classes at TBCC South will start on Sept. 24 with a Writing 121 class that is scheduled to make it convenient for Nestucca High seniors looking to get a leg up on college credits. The core college writing class will be held 12:40-1:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Tuition and fees is $384. Nestucca students are entitled to a discount.

Other fall classes include a non-credit Beginning Spanish class ($72) held on Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m. starting Oct. 2, Introduction to Home Computers ($65), Mondays, 5:30-7:50 p.m., starting Sept.

24 and a Word Processing class ($65), Mondays, 5:30-7:50 p.m., starting on Oct. 29.

Green says she is looking for community input as the college seeks to fill the need of education in South Tillamook County. A minimum of 8-10 students is required to hold a class at the new campus.

In addition, the conference room will be available for educational activities this fall with the possibility of use being opened to the general public this winter. For more information on TBCC, the new campus or to register for classes, visit www.tillamookbay.cc.

Bravo for the Backdrop Community invited to fete library mural painted by artist Marilyn Burkhardt

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

HELP WANTED: Assistant Manager

I

t’s a dream that Burkhardt has had ever since seeing the mural at Tillamook County’s main branch.

“Why can’t we have one here at our library,” she says as she recalls her efforts to bring a mural to the South Tillamook County branch located at 6200 Camp Street in Pacific City.

To honor the achievement, which was made possible through Burkhardt’s tireless commitment and was donated by the Nestucca Valley Artisans, NVA is hosting a celebration at the library on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 6-7:30 p.m. to fete the 26-foot wide depiction of the wildlife and ecology of Cape Kiwanda and Pacific City. The celebration will also include talks by Catherine Rickbone, director of the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, and Sara Charlton, director of the Tillamook County Library system. And Rod Whaley will lend his musical touch to the festivities.

A resident of the area for the last 23 years and an artist all her life, Burkhardt says that murals in public places like libraries serve to enrich those not normally touched by art.

“It says to me that art is important because it occupies this prominent place.”

The subject is typical Marilyn Burkhardt, who is known for her striking images of animals and nature. Her

THE NESTUCCA VALLEY ARTISANS are hosting a community celebration to honor a mural painted by local artist Marilyn Burkhardt on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 6-7:30 p.m. at the South Tillamook County Library located at 6200 Cape Street in Pacific City. work can be seen locally at Rowboat Gallery and she is an annual presence at the Nestucca Valley Artisan’s Art Fair held annually in August.

“Pacific City is special in that it has a wealth of wildlife and different kinds of habitat,” she says. “I want to bring these creatures to the people. They need and deserve to be protected.”

Using house paints and acrylics, Burkhardt started the mural last February and pronounced it done at the end of July. It touches on many — but by no

means all — of the elements found at Cape Kiwanda and the Nestucca River including Great Blue Herons, Brown Pelicans Geese, Haystack Rock, gulls and rockfish.

“It’s what Pacific City is — a beautiful haven for wildlife,” she says.

“We are just so pleased to have the mural in the children’s room,” added South Tillamook County librarian Theresa Roberts. “Every time I come in here it just makes me smile, and the children love it, too.”

IN the NEWS Tillamook PUD rates to increase October 1 The Tillamook PUD Board of Directors approved the adoption of new retail electric rates to take effect Oct. 1.

The increase will affect all Tillamook PUD customers by an average of six percent.

The increase in purchased power costs from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is the most significant driver of retail price increases, as the cost of power equates to about 50 percent of the Tillamook PUD’s total costs.

“Under our BPA power supply contract, the PUD can expect the price it pays for wholesale power to increase frequently,” said Ray Sieler, general manager of Tillamook PUD. Tillamook PUD customers last saw a price increase in August 2011.

The 5 percent increase was the first in a decade.

To help ease the effect of price increases, Tillamook PUD encourages all customers to check out its energy efficiency programs and services and participate in bill payment programs, such as budget billing.

“We will remain vigilant in our efforts to keep all our costs in check in order to serve you with safe, reliable power at the lowest price feasible,” added Sieler.

TEP fetes National Estuaries Day on Sept. 8 Tillamook Estuaries Partnership is slated to be at the Tillamook Farmer’s Market Saturday, Sept. 8 in celebration of National Estuaries Day and the 25th anniversary of the National Estuary Program. The “Spin and Win” wheel will be in attendance and TEP staff and board will be on hand to talk about the work of TEP since Tillamook Bay was designated “an estuary of national significance” in 1994.

TEP is one of 28 NEPs across the country. TEP incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2002 and includes within its study area all of Tillamook County’s estuaries and watersheds. TEP efforts are based on the Tillamook Bay Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan, developed over five years and adopted in 1999. The CCMP establishes partner commitments and coordinates resource allocation for implementation of 63 actions targeted at four priority problems affecting the Tillamook Bay and its watershed: water quality, habitat loss and simplification, erosion and sedimentation, and flooding.

Moving Day for Nestucca Fire

Photo by Tim Hirsch

NESTUCCA RURAL FIRE PROTECTION staff and volunteers have been hard at work moving into their new 9,500 square foot fire hall and administration center in Hebo, which was built by Dalke Construction for $2.5 million. Fire station no. 87 replaces fire station no. 81, which burned down in a May 28, 2010 fire. Fire Chief Kris Weiland, who came to Nestucca from Renton Fire and Emergency in Washington, said the new structure compares favorably with larger districts minus some of the niceties such as tile floors. Still, there’s work to be done. At press time, staff were in the midst of moving office equipment from the Pacific City station, where they have had their base of operations since the fire. There are also numerous items on the department’s to do list including finishing a storage area that the district scratched from initial plans in an effort to meet the project’s budget. Pictured above (l-r) are volunteer David Sellers, Chief of Training Jim Oeder, Fire Chief Kris Weiland, Maintenance Chief Mickey Hays, staff firefighter and EMT Brian Jones and volunteer Joe Ehly.

THE CAPE KIWANDA LONGBOARD CLASSIC will feature an expected 120 surfers in two days of competition, Sept. 22-23 in Pacific City.

Riding the Surf

Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic returns for 14th year

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

A

wave of family fun will hit Pacific City’s beach, Sept. 21-23, when the 14th incarnation of the Cape Kiwanda Longboard Classic will test the skills of an expected 120 surfers for two days of competition.

Though the 20-minute heats will start on Saturday, the celebration will get a jump start on Friday, Sept. 21 with a party on the beach in front of Pelican Pub & Brewery. On tap will be a pig feast, live acoustic music by Richie Vidin and beer garden. Food and drink will be hosted by the Pelican Brewery and the Ribcage.

The party, which is open to the public, will run from 6-10 p.m. It will also double as an opportunity for participants to register. Cost for non-participants had not been determined at press time.

On Saturday, Sept. 22, it’ll be time to turn all attention to the break along Cape Kiwanda as the boarders hit the water starting at 8 a.m. The contest, which is organized by Moment Surf Company, routinely draws large crowds to catch the action, peruse vendor’s booths located adjacent the dune on the Tillamook County parking lot and revel in a day at the beach. Competition runs through 5 p.m.

“People love to come down and see what’s happening,” said Moment Surf co-owner Jeff Mollencop, who is this year’s event organizer. “It’s an opportu-

nity for the whole family to enjoy. Kids can play in the tide pools while mom or dad are on the beach watching the other person surf.”

Following a day in the surf, boarders and beach goers, too, will be treated to another evening of fun as the acoustic sounds of guitarist-violinist-singer Seth Brewster and the reggae groves of Steady Riot provide the musical backdrop at a Pelican Brewery hosted beer garden that runs from 5:30-9 p.m.

Event competition will wrap up on Sunday, Sept. 23. Heats will be held 8 a.m.-3 p.m., followed by an awards ceremony and raffle that boasts more than $2,500 worth of prizes including a Rob Russo-shaped surfboard, Patagonia wetsuit, and gear ranging from sandals to board shorts. All proceeds will go towards developing a Pacific City skate park. Last year’s event raised $5,000 towards that end, a figure that Mollencop hopes to double this year. An additional opportunity to score some gear will be during the event’s silent auction, which features another $2,500-plus worth of items ranging from wooden surfboards to the event’s original artwork. The auction will run all day Saturday in the Pelican Pub & Brewery’s banquet room and winners will be announced on Sunday. Also donating to the skate park will be any sales of event clothing or posters.

There will also be skate park t-shirts and clothing up for grabs that will contribute to the cause.

Should the weather take a turn and threaten participant safety, organizers will announce an alternative schedule.

They had to do just that last year, when a large swell came in on Sunday — forcing them to move all heats to Sunday.

Mollencop credited the cooperation of the Dorymen’s Association as key saying that allowed them to move women and children into the cove where there was more protection.

“Hopefully this year it’ll be a little bit milder, but the beach itself gives us some options in terms of condition,” said Mollencop.

The surfing scene at Pacific City is becoming one of the fastest growing on the Oregon Coast and there’s good reason for that, says Mollencop.

“The accessibility’s great, driving on the beach is great and spending a day on the beach is great — not to mention you can walk up here and grab a bite, have a beer sitting at the Pelican and can camp right across the street (at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort). All those things go into making Pacific City a super fun and easily accessible place to surf. It’s a friendly area for all — from beginners to the more advanced, there’s plenty of diversity for the different levels of surfing.”

not to happen at less appealing drop zones.

“Usually when we skydive, there’s nothing for families to do, but in Pacific City there’s so much — everybody just loves the place,” she says. “The air feels so beautiful, the town is always so friendly and the landing on the sand is soft and forgiving.”

Liston said it’s always their goal to do their best at returning the welcoming that locals so freely give to her group. To check out the action, locals and visitors are invited to vist the base of operations just west of the airport on a vacant lot on Ruepell Avenue.

“We welcome anyone — including kids — who just wants to come and ask questions or hang out. Part of the goal is to have fun with the community,” she says.

Those that are interested in taking their first leap from 10,500 feet up can do so by teaming up with an experienced skydiver and experience a 35 second free fall in a tandem jump. Cost is $250. Tandem jumps must either be paid for in advance or paid in cash at the event.

“The town is so fun and that’s what keeps (skydivers) coming back,” said Liston.

For more information on the Pacific City Beach Boogie or to register for a tandem jump, visit www. skydivetoledo.com or follow them on their Facebook page.

NVCA elects new board of directors T

he Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, which is currently in the development stage of creating a community park at Tillamook Lightwave’s Cable Landing Station just east of Cape Kiwanda, appointed four new board members at its Aug. 11 annual meeting held at Kiawanda Community Center.

Elected to three year terms were Merrianne Hoffman (secretary), Shae Lambert (treasurer), Ben Johnson, Jr., and Tom Donohue. They join continuing board members Gloria Scullin (president), Paul Carlson (vice president), Noe Martinez, Bill Bush and Marie Heimberg.

T

he wonders of nature are all around us, but how much do we appreciate it?

To do so means to slow down, take a new path and open your eyes to our world in a new way. And Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge has a way to do just that.

On Sunday, Sept. 9, 5:30 p.m.dusk, refuge resident volunteer Lee Sliman will teach visitors what it means to be a naturalist during “Nature Journaling: Anyone Can be a Naturalist!” The program starts in the refuge’s lower parking lot.

Many well-known naturalists started out simply enough — collecting bits and pieces of their experiences in the wild as well as observations through notes and sketches. In this free excursion, Sliman will teach participants that the value of keeping a journal is in teaching us another way of looking at things.

“My goal is that whether (participants) start a journal or not is teaching a new way of looking at things,” she said. “That’s a goal in a lot of our lives because we want to extend our horizons.

She says that though there’s lots of old-fashioned ways to keep a journal, there’s no reason not to take advantage of the technology that today’s world has to offer. On her to do list was to see if there were any iPhone apps for nature journaling. A search by the Sun revealed two free nature journaling apps — Neukadye’s WildObs Naturalist and Shawn

Fitzgerald’s SeeWhatISaw. “(Nature journaling) is a wide open thing,” said Sliman. “The real point of doing it is to slow everyone down and look in a different way at the world around us.”

Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably and bring something to take notes on or with. A camera, binoculars, and a hand lens will also come in handy. If you don’t have one, the refuge has a limited number available for the group to share.

The exploration of the bounty of the refuge will continue on Sunday, Sept. 30, 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. when Sliman hosts “Art in the Refuge.” The event is an opportunity for artists of all skill levels and media to work in the wild as a group.

“Though the refuge is open to artists at any time, artists tend to be solitary people,” she said. “This is an opportunity for artists to socialize and participate in a mini-critique.”

Artists will need to bring their own supplies.

Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located on the west side of Highway 101 approximately six miles south of Pacific City. To visit the refuge turn west off Highway 101 onto Christensen Road and proceed a half-mile to the first parking lot. For an up-to-date event schedule, visit www.fws.gov/oregoncoast/calendar/index.cfm, as changes can occur.

For more information about each event, contact Lee Sliman at 503-8126392.

FISHING & OUTDOORS

NINETEENTH SEASON 2012-2013

The Time is Now Tidewater is heating up for fall chinook

By PAT GEFRE for the Sun

A

t last! At last! Finally fall chinook are beginning to show in tidewater. There have been reported catches out at the jaws and in the Pacific City area. The world’s not being set on fire yet, still enough salmon are being caught to get everyone’s interest in fishing for them cranked up.

These salmon are not holding in tidewater so fishing for them is a little different. The water inland (up the bay) is still too warm and doesn’t carry enough oxygen so salmon are nosing in on the incoming tides and then turning around and heading right back to the Pacific Ocean on the outgoing tides where conditions are better. The shortened days and colder nights will eventually get the water temperatures to where the salmon will want to stay in tidewater, but until that happens fall chinook will be migrating back and forth.

Some folks will troll herring or spinners out at the jaws trying to intercept the salmon that are nosing in on the tides. Others are throwing spinners or fishing bobber and shrimp or eggs further up the bay on the incoming tides. No matter how you fish, right now the window is short. Incoming tides seem to be the only time to fish successfully. Some will anchor up at the guardrail hole and fish a wrapped kwikfish while the tide is coming in.

With the migration salmon are taking right now, another way to fish is when the tide turns, spin your boat around and fish the same kwikfish on the outgoing tide. This method will work for as long as the salmon keep migrating back to the ocean. As soon as chinooks find tidewater to their liking and start hanging out in tidewater, this method of fishing goes away.

Stay tuned — better days are ahead and salmon fishing will continue to improve. By October the fishery should be in full swing.

Fishing for sea run cutthroat trout is improving by the day. Tidewater is full of them and there are many making their way into the Nestucca River.

These fish can travel in large schools and be very visible from shore. It’s not unusual to see schools of 30 or more

sea runs milling around in a small spot in the river. I have been watching a school for two days in my back yard. I would guess that many of these trout are 12 to 16 inches and there are a few I have seen that would go 18 to 20 inches.

The coho season on the ocean has been fairly slow. Most thought that the quota would have already been met and the season closed by now. As of Sept. 6, only half the quota had been met and the fishery was still open.

Watch the ODFW web site for further posting about when the coho salmon season will end.

Summer steelhead fishing is still worth the pursuit in the Nestucca River. This is a fishery of haves and have not’s. Mostly because it takes far more skill to catch summer steelhead than winter steelhead — some folks get it and some folks don’t. The big thing is you must keep a low profile in every sense of the word. The water is so low and clear that anything you do to draw attention to yourself or your bait will instantly alert summers. And once that happens, it’s the proverbial cold day in you know where before you will entice a bite. Here are some dos and don’ts.

Don’t wear bright clothing —you wouldn’t think of going hunting without camo gear — steelhead are very keen sighted and will spot your yellow shirt, white socks, etc. from a mile away. If at all possible, don’t wade the water near where you intend to fish.

Steelhead will see and feel and hear the disturbance and it’s game over if they know you’re there. Use very light lines and small baits. Anything larger than six pound line is easy for steelhead to see. Small baits are more in tune with what is naturally available in the summertime. Insects like grass hoppers, hellgrammites, single eggs, craw fish, and small worms are all some of the things that are natural to the summer stream. Use little to no sinker, a bait that is moving at current speed appears more natural and will peak the curiosity of a steelhead more readily than a bait that is hanging up and moving unnaturally. In general, pay attention to details, make presentations that don’t cause noise, and keep improving on what you learn and you will be successful.

THE DELLA acted as the mother ship in the Nestucca River, enabling small fishing boats to load salmon on board so they didn’t have to row all the way to the cannery.

A Hazardous Voyage

Ships paid high cost of supplying early homesteaders THE DELLA could travel all the way up the Nestucca to Cloverdale when the river was much deeper. Pictured here in 1906 was a group of Sunday travelers.

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

O

btaining necessary supplies was a real challenge for early homesteaders of the Nestucca Valley.

Travel was slow and difficult over the mountains and transporting anything of weight was impossible many months of the year.

Boats traveling from Portland and up and down the coast became a more reliable form of transportation from the outside world. Many of these boats entered the Nestucca River to deliver goods and return with salmon and lumber. The Nestucca River was much deeper in those days, and ocean going boats could travel as far as Cloverdale.

The Nestucca Bar was unpredictable and depended on entrance and exits at just the right tide and conditions.

The first freighter to haul in much coveted supplies in the area was the Pilot’s Bride in 1880. It was captained

by C.H. Lewis and was leaving the Nestucca headed to Portland on August 1, 1881, when she became stranded on the Nestucca bar and became a total loss.

Another important ship was the Della. Built in Woods, the ship hauled in supplies for the whole of South County. When first built she was too short and wallowed in the water. They then cut her in two and added 10 feet and put on a larger cabin. Charles Ray owned her during her freighting days.

She was eventually bought by a fish company in Coos Bay and was wrecked

on the jetty there.

The gas-powered Gerald C was a 58-foot, two-masted sailing ship built in 1895. This twin masted ship was a cannery tender owned by the Elmore Canning Company. She had a carving of a lady on the bow. She worked the coast, as did the Della, transporting supplies to remote settlements. She met her fate on the north spit entrance of the Nestucca on May 10, 1907. She was carrying a cargo of lumber piloted by Captain Tabell on the day she was wrecked.

Another ship that found its fate at the mouth of the Nestucca is the Venus, a 40- by 12- foot boat that capsized on the bar in 1923. Captain Adolph Konisger and his engineer, Olaf Bowman valiantly swam free of the wreckage and headed for shore. They were cheered on by a group of spectators gathered on the spit. About 100 feet from safety, the captain felt a violent tug on his foot, a tug that nearly pulled him under and away from his companion. A vigorous kick freed him from his new unknown peril. Imagine his surprise when coming on shore and he found one half of his boot missing with ripping teethmarks indicating he had been attacked by a shark. He was the first recorded victim of such an attack along the Oregon Coast.

Welcome to Woods Jim Stober’s tree sculpture to highlight community of Woods

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

L

ong time resident and wood sculptor James Stober is putting a welcome up for the town of Woods! Perhaps best known for his carving of “Filbert,” a beaver sculpture which has resided at the South Tillamook County Library for more than eight years, Stober is hard at work turning a nine-foot California Cyprus stump into a work of art.

Located near the intersection of Virgil and Ferry Streets, the sculpture will feature Stober’s rendition of seven cyprus trees when finished.

He also is planning in carving the town’s name in the sculpture. Stober expects he will have it done by the summer of 2013. The sculpture is being crafted through the judicious use of a chain saw followed by careful finishing with a mallet and gouge. He says that while the idea started on paper, it’s taken on a life of it’s own as he goes

about creating the landmark.

“After awhile, you don’t have to think about,” he says. “I see it in the wood. it’s taking your imagination and turning it into something other people can recognize.”

The germ of the idea started when Stober had seen the large tree stump in the yard and his immediate thought was that it would was an ideal candidate for a sculpture. He contacted owner Craig Wenrick and showed him a pencil sketch of his ide. After a family vote, it was thumb’s up for the landmark. The cost? It’s a gift to the community, says Stober.

Art isn’t Stober’s only hallmark. He also penned “UrethesDaneKisman,” a tale of a hippy and his dog on the hunt for the place to ride out “The Big One.” It was published in 2005. Over the years he has also carved many signs — some of which still exist today — for landmark local companies like Beaver Grocery and Riverhouse Restaurant.
