On Our Cover:

acific City Joint WaterSanitary Authority is inviting community members to a Feb. 19 public discussion on the Authority’s planned wastewater treatment plant upgrade, an upgrade that board members have categorized as necessary due to the threat of future fines from the Department of Environmental Quality. The public meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Though an upgrade has been part of the Authority’s master plan, the need for renovations was underlined in the summer of 2013, when DEQ charged PCJWSA with violations and levied $1,875 in fines. The violations, says Authority manPCJWSA manager Tony Owen ager Tony Owen, come from an overworked and out-of-date improvements include grit removal facility, most of which was constructed (necessary because of all the sand that in 1979. finds it way into treatment basins), At an estimated price tag of $10 adding effluent treatment filters, the million, the project will likely be expansion of UV disinfection, and a funded through user upgrade fees as a new treatment for bio-solids, which general obligation bond would make would mean instead of trucking byPCJWSA ineligible for grants available product out via truck as aa liquid, the through USDA’s Rural Development material would go through a dewaterprogram. Under the revenue grant/ ing process and be hauled out as semiuser fee funding scenario, PCJWSA solid “cakes.” would secure a low-interest grant from At press time, an exact format for USDA Rural Development. the discussion had not been finalized, To date, PCJWSA has completed but Owen told the Sun he expects to a preliminary engineering report, the begin with 7- to 10-minutes remarks findings of which were approved by from visiting panelists, which will both DEQ and Rural Development. A include Tiffany Yelton-Bram, DEQ $30,000 grant from Rural Development water quality source control manager; is offsetting a portion of the $100,000 professional engineer Mike Tinney, cost for the report. Recommended DEQ senior environmental engineer;

Jennifer Purcell, DEQ North Coast regional solutions team; financial planner Ray Bartlett, of Economic & Financial Anaysis; PCJWSA engineer Tom Nielsen, of Parametrics; and Drew Davis, USDA community program specialist. PCJWSA board chair Carolyn McVicker will serve as facilitator for the meeting. Owen said the tentative plan is to open up the evening to a question and answer period for community members following the panelists’ opening remarks.

“We want to have a broad spectrum overview of what’s going on from (the panelists’) perspectives and then have people ask questions and do follow-up responses,” said Owen. “I think it’s important for the public to ask questions.”

One of the key points Owen hopes to be clarified is just how much of an increase in user fees will be needed to fund the improvement. As previously reported in the Sun, Owen has estimated that the increase would likely be in the $25-$30 per month range, but that number could be changed — for the better — if enough grant dollars are obtained. He said that he talked with Davis on Feb. 4 about putting together a closer estimate on what those increases might ultimately turn out to be.

For more information on the planned upgrade, call Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority at 503-9656636 or visit www.pcjwsa.com. The Authority also plans on future public outreach events, including presentations at upcoming meetings of the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee.

Anglers have several options to comment on halibut seasons Halibut anglers will have three different ways to weigh in on open dates for the 2015 spring all-depth halibut fishery in the Central Coast subarea — attend a public meeting, participate in the meeting via webinar, or take an online survey.

The Central Coast subarea extends from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt., and includes all developed ports in Oregon except Brookings, Gold Beach, and those in the Astoria area.

The seasons for the Columbia River and Southern Oregon subareas have already been established for this year.

“We want all anglers to have the

ability to help shape the halibut season, and understand that many cannot attend the public meeting in person. The webinar and online survey provide a means for all anglers to have a voice,“ said Patrick Mirick, halibut assistant project leader for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Participants in the process will help choose the number of season dates and the weeks in which those open dates will occur.

The public meeting will begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11 at the ODFW Newport office, 2040 SE Marine Science Drive. Participants

also can join the meeting online at https://global.gotomeeting.com/ join/768250205., or dial in at (872) 240-3412. Meeting ID: 768-250-205.

Finally, anglers can offer their input through an online survey available on the ODFW website.

For questions, or to provide additional comments without attending the meeting, anglers should contact Patrick Mirick at 541-867-0300 ext. 223 or by email: Patrick.P.Mirick@state. or.us or Lynn Mattes at 541-867-0300 ext. 237 or by email: lynn.mattes@ state.or.us. The fax number is 541-8670311.

Moratorium Nears End County officials expect Pacific City building permit moratorium to be lifted in June 2015

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he appeal period for the building permit moratorium that buildings and lots in Pacific City’s flood zone have had to wait out since last May is expected to be over on June 8 — assuming there are no complaints filed during the four-month appeal period, which started on Feb. 6.

The announcement from Tillamook County comes on the heels of FEMA accepting map revisions on Jan. 20.

The maps were created from floodway studies produced by the Portland office of West Consultants. The revisions were mandated after a 2012 FEMA “Community Assistance Visit” ruled that decades of improperly permitted development may have altered the Base Flood Elevation.

Director of Community Development Bryan Pohl describes the accepted maps as “virtually identical” to the original revision, which were first shown to the public at a June 21 meeting of the Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee — the major difference being that the FEMAaccepted maps do not include the originally sought after reduction in the floodway, which, for development, is an even more restrictive area than the floodplain. That revision was not pursued because it would have required a demonstrated compliance with the Endangered Species Act, a much more onerous and time consuming process.

“It would have dramatically lengthened the duration of the project, thereby lengthening the duration of the moratorium,” he said.

Pohl added the county hopes to pursue the more favorable floodway in the future and plans to build efforts into doing just that into the 2015-16 budget.

He said that the map will result in about 80 properties either being added into the flood plan or taken out, adding that about 75 percent of those are being taken out of the floodplain and about

25 percent will have a change in where the floodplain is on their property or will be included in the floodplain where they were not before.

Though the West Consultants study revealed a very small change in water surface elevations, the bulk of the flood changes come not from the water level, but from more accurate topographical data gleaned from precise LIDAR readings during the survey.

“The LIDAR data used much finer detail than in 1978 (when last map was produced),” Pohl said, noting that the 1978 map merely produced contour lines meaning that everything in between had to be extrapolated. “With LIDAR, we actually get 1 square foot pinpoint ground elevations so you’re getting much finer detail. A property added to the flood zone mostly likely was not because of water surface rise, –Bryan Pohl but because of better topographical data.”

Though the moratorium will not be officially lifted until June 8 — assuming there are no appeals — Pohl told the Sun that his office is working with six property owners who submitted applications prior to the start of the moratorium. To move those applications forward, the affected property owners will be required to sign a waiver that will say that the applicant understands that if an appeal is filed, it may put their structure at a risk for higher insurance premiums. Tillamook County Commissioners will also be asked to sign a resolution that will allow those properties to move forward. Pohl said that in his conversations with FEMA, they were agreeable to the county proceeding with the six applications, given the parameters.

“I really do appreciate the community understanding what’s going on,” Pohl said about the drawn-out process towards removing the building moratorium. “It certainly has not been easy.

It’s been horrible to have to impose a building permit moratorium. I’m aware there’s been an impact for people. I appreciate their understanding.”

We’re Roaring Along!

By VERNE MOBLEY Lions Club President

Well, our Lions Club is still roaring right along!

Most of us are a little down with the Super Bowl result but we’ll bounce back!

This is the time of year when some of us go south to leave this “bad” weather, but it turns out to be great right here. Lion Teresa and Gary Smith spent 10 days checking out Hawaii by cruise ship over and back. Fun!! Lion Pat and myself spent 10 days near Shanko watching after the ranch while our kids tour Australia. Lion John and Carol Griggs travel almost every weekday to Salem for treatments. He has to take 40 sessions and just about 10 to go. John has a great attitude. He and Carol made reservations to go to a Seattle Mariners game in June for the four of us. Then, Carol insisted the two of them see their first Pendleton Round-Up in September.

Our Jan. 27th Lions meeting featured Gary Albright, Tillamook Pioneer Museum manager. He talked about the Helping Hands Re-Entry Outreach locally. We should all get involved with this.

Thank to Lion Ruby Fry-Matson for inviting Gary to talk. I think he works for Lion Ruby or is the other way around?!?

Lion Dorothy Gann, chairman for the capitol trip to Salem on March 3rd has it about all arranged.

Lion Sandy and Paul Hanneman have arranged for great speakers. We are fortunate to have that OLD — whoops, I mean former — State Representative Paul to help put this together for our lucky NVHS students.

Jill Ehley will be driving the bus and Rob Royster will make about 100 lunches for us. Many thanks to our Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and our Lions for sponsoring all this.

It’s great to be a Lion!!! Call me about memberships at 503-392-4436.

NEWS&COMMUNITY County to pursue ramp project, master plan for Cape

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

illamook County Parks has begun the process of reapplying for two development grants to widen the beach access ramp at Cape Kiwanda that serves dorymen, emergency personnel and both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to the beach announced developer Jeff Schons, of Nestucca Ridge Development, at a Feb. 5 meeting of the Cape Kiwanda Visitor Readiness and Safety Improvement Project, a multi-agency, ad hoc group that has been meeting to address improvements at the popular beach access.

Permits will be needed from both Tillamook County — for everything east of the beach’s boundary and one from the State of Oregon for development affecting the beach. Schons, who is assisting the Parks Department with the effort, said he thinks a permit could be awarded from the county in as little as a month and from the state by mid-April.

The Parks Department plans to join Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District to apply for funds for the project from the Tourism Advisory Committee, which is expected to begin accepting applications and making recommendations to the Economic Development Council for distribution of Transient Lodging Tax funds for tourism-related facilities following a Feb. 18 meeting of the Tillamook County Commissioners, who are slated to vote at that time on the proposed application guidelines. At press time, the county had collected $2.2 million from the TLT, a figure that is expected to go up to $2.4 million by the end of the fourth quarter of collections. Of that amount, 70 percent must be spent on tourism marketing or tourism-related facilities.

The ramp enlargement will mirror plans approved by the county when Nestucca Ridge Development first applied to make the improvement in 2007. Schons said the estimated construction cost would be between $90,000 and $120,000. It would create a 24-foot, twoway lane for vehicles and five-foot pedestrian walkways on either side. The plan also includes accommodations requested by the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association and adopted by Nestucca Ridge for the earlier permit.

GROUP TO SOLICIT RFP FOR MASTER PLAN Tillamook County Chief of Staff Paul Levesque also announced Tillamook County’s plans to advertise a request for proposal to create a master plan that would include Pacific City and Tierra Del Mar, but focus on the Cape Kiwanda area from the Cape to Bob Straub State Park. In his presentation of the draft of the RFP, which will seek out comments from the Cape Kiwanda group before being finalized, Levesque identified eight areas the RFP will focus on: the “turnaround” located at the west end of Pacific Avenue, the property of Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority, a 77-acre Bureau of Land Management parcel that PCJWSA is currently nego-

tiating a Recreation & Public Purposes lease for, the Tillamook Light Wave’s cable landing station, a 2.4-acre portion of the cable landing property being leased to the Nestucca Valley Community Alliance for the development of a new community park, Tillamook County’s parking lot at Cape Kiwanda, Tillamook County Webb Park, a 77-acre Tillamook County-owned parcel adjacent Webb Park, and a 161-acre tract owned by the U.S. Forest Service.

Both the PCJWSA and BLM properties were listed for “content” only, the latter because PCJWSA is in the latter stages of securing its R&PP lease.

“It’s really important that we sort of leave that alone because they’re in the final stages of an environmental assessment,” said Levesque. “Under federal law, it’s required that when federal land you have to do this sort of thing. Any changes at this point in the game would really disrupt that kind of process.”

The draft RFP also discusses tourism-related facilities as the group plans to apply for TLT funds for this project as well. Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi, who led the meeting, said the Board of Commissioners could serve as applicants for TLT funds. Nestucca Fire will again be a co-applicant.

“The consultant selected for this really needs to understand the driver for this,” Levesque explained.

“The idea is for this master plan to get a prioritized list for tourism-related facilities but also to get a list of other visitor infrastructure that may not necessarily qualify for TLT funds. Really, we’ve got to take a holistic look at this area and come up with a plan.”

He also stressed that the selected consultant will reach out to partners and effected properties which include: Tillamook County Commissioners, Tillamook County Parks, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, Tillamook County Public Works, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District, Nestucca Valley Community Alliance, PCJWSA, BLM, U.S. Forest Service, Tillamook Light Wave, Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, Tillamook County Economic Development, Pacific City-Wood Citizen Advisory Committee, Oregon State Marine Board and Thousand Trails.

In his draft RFP proposal, Levesque has also identified two goals, the first of which is to create “a sustainable blueprint to improve, locate and develop tourism facilities and infrastructure within the Cape Kiwanda focus area.” The second goal calls for creating a “framework for tourism facilities and infrastructure that will protect the beauty and natural resource value within the surrounding community and minimize and mitigate the adverse effects of visitors within the community, improve visitor experiences and encourage longer stays, and attract new visitors during the shoulder season.”

CAC to address county’s code modernization effort The Pacific City-Woods Citizens Advisory Committee will address the Tillamook County Department of Community Development’s code modernization at its next monthly meeting, Saturday, Feb. 21, starting at 10:30 a.m. at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220

Park’s Plans are in the Making NVCA hosts public input session for upcoming community park near Cape Kiwanda

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

C

ommunity members will be afforded an early look at what Pacific City’s new recreational park will look like during a community meeting on Sunday, Feb. 15. The event and free ice cream social will run from 2-4 p.m. at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

At the first of three planned public input sessions, attendees will hear landscape architect Jeff Creel, of Harper Houf Peterson Righellis, Inc., share about current progress on the park’s design, starting at 2 p.m. Attendees will also be invited to participate in an image survey, which will ask participants to choose elements they would like to see in the park.

Preliminary plans for the 2.4-acre

park located just east of Cape Kiwanda and being leased from Tillamook Light Wave for $10 per year include a skate park, picnic benches, playground, outdoor amphitheater, interpretative center, and trailhead access. For those unable to attend, the survey will also be available online at www.nestucca. org.

NVCA is also planning a public input opportunity on April 4, which will focus on a skatepark being designed

by Dreamland Skateparks. The third meeting will be in May with a date yet to be announced.

Formed by volunteers in 2010, the NVCA’s mission is to bring educational opportunities and recreational venues to the Pacific City and Nestucca Valley coastal community. For more information, visit www.nestucca.org. To contribute to the project, visit crowdrise.com/helpusbuildapark.

A Secondary Look at Another Access Director of Public Works Liane Welch will present current cost estimates for a secondary access project into the village of Neskowin during the Neskowin Citizen Advisory Committee meeting on Saturday, Feb. 7. Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart will also be in attendance for the discussion, which begins at 8:30 a.m.

Currently, Tillamook County Commissioners have approved a paved, one-lane road fully accessible to vehicle and other road traffic that would span from the golf course clubhouse to the Neskowin Wayside State Park.

The agreement the BOC made with the Neskowin community is that the county would pay for road costs above the $100,000 contribution from the community and $150,000 grant from the state. The Neskowin community has almost reached its $100,000 fundraising goal. A report on that effort will be given at this meeting.

However, the proposed project does come with issues yet to be resolved.

The access point on the south side involves using State Parks land, which was paid for by the US government. An acceptable deal has to be worked out with both parties. In addition, projects like this in areas where known Native

American tribes lived need to be vetted by the state in case there is a preservation site involved.

But the biggest issue is the culverts.

This proposed stretch of road has four culverts: two at the tide gate area near the clubhouse, one near the property line for the old horse barn and the golf course, and one on the far south side of the road which is owned by State Parks.

At least two of the culverts and possibly all four will need to be replaced with structures that will support truck and car traffic. Because replacing culverts is not just a matter of construction costs, but also may entail environmental impact studies with both state and federal fish and wildlife, it could present a financial hurdle.

With that in mind, Welch will present to the CAC — and the community — an option that would instead mean a bridge across Hawk Creek at Yamhill and then cross the parking lot to the north of the restrooms, greatly shortening the route, the need for environmental mitigation and the hurdle of tribal land. The new option is estimated to cost $700,000, a significant drop from the $1 million forecasted for the longer route. For more information, call CAC chair Guy Sievert at 503-866-4489.

NEWS&COMMUNITY County-wide tourism organization launched For the first time, there is one county-wide organization representing for-profit tourism businesses in Tillamook County.

Currently, Tillamook County receives $200 million less that Clatsop and Lincoln in the Destination Spending category. Now, efforts to close that gap are ratcheting up even more with the formation of The Tourism Industries Association.

Tourism Industries Association will contribute to this effort by providing professional development trainings for industry staff, industry education to community leaders and industry research and resources for the business community in general.

“As a small tourism business owner, I always found (out) about things after the fact in the newspaper because I’ve never had time to attend meetings and do research,” said Tom Flood, a partner owner of the Schooner Restaurant and Lounge in Netarts.

“Now I do have time, and I want to help other businesses get the information I never could. Essentially, we will be the eyes, ears and voice for other tourism businesses.”

This year, the Schooner was the recipient of the Small Business of the year Award at the Tillamook Chamber Awards Banquet.

“When visitors spend money with

us, we work very hard to keep every dollar in the county,” said Flood, “One look at our local vender list says it all, which is why many food journalists and culinary publications write about us.”

TIA president Marcus Hinz is also touting the benefits of the new organization.

“It’s a natural progression of a maturing industry to form an association,” he says. “There are fishing, farming, manufacturing and even poultry associations. The tourism industry in our county has matured to the degree that we now need our own association.”

The formation of Visit Tillamook Coast is recognized by TIA as a centerpiece to attaining the $200 million increase in Destination Spending.

“We fully support Nan Devlin, and will do everything we can to support her as the first Executive Director of Visit Tillamook Coast,” says Hinz, an owner of Kayak Tillamook County, the Oregon Coast’s oldest and most extensive kayaking guide service.

“Our organizations may have different objectives, but our goals and vision for the tourism industry in Tillamook County are very similar. We must work together,” Hinz says.

To Join TIA, business owners are asked to complete a membership form and make payment at: www.traveltillamookcounty.org/becomeamember/.

SOLVE seeks volunteers for spring cleanup The SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup is seeking volunteers ready to scour more than 100 miles of beaches on March 28, cleaning up debris washed in from winter storms. The organization typically enlists the help of thousands of Oregonians across the state for the effort, which runs from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

According to organizers, marine debris on Oregon’s coast is an issue that affects all of us, threatening the health of our environment, and impacting the economy. They say discarded items, like cigarette butts and tiny bits of plastic flow into the rivers and streams to the Pacific Ocean, where they can be toxic to marine life.

“The efforts of SOLVE volunteers are vital in the fight against litter,” said Joy Irby, SOLVE Program Coordinator. “By helping to remove litter, you are taking an active role in minimizing the threat of plastics and other debris, and giving back to Oregon’s public beaches.”

Last year, more than 4,800 Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup volunteers removed nearly 50,000 pounds of debris from the coast, contributing to the 3.2 million pounds that have been picked up since the first coast-wide cleanup in 1984. The twice-annual SOLVE beach cleanups have become an Oregon tradition, encouraging families, business groups, schools, and others to become lifelong stewards and make a difference

for Oregon.

To be part of the solution by volunteering at the SOLVE Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup, sign up to volunteer at solveoregon.org or by calling 503-8449571 x332.

SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve the environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to cleanup beaches and rivers, and restore watersheds. Visit www.solvoregon.org for more information.

ODFW seeks nominees for Pacific fisheries council The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is accepting nominations for a seat on the Pacific Fishery Management Council. The deadline to request nomination materials is Feb. 13 and the three-year term begins in August.

The Council manages about 119 species of groundfish, pelagic species (sardines, anchovies and mackerel) and highly migratory species (tunas, sharks and swordfish) off the coasts for Oregon, Washington and California. It includes 14 voting members. Several advisory councils and PFMC staff members also participate in Council meetings.

The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable of fishery resource conservation and management in marine waters

off the West Coast. Specific knowledge of and experience in management issues and fisheries is important, as is a strong conservation ethic. The successful candidate also must work collectively with other council members, often making difficult decisions and fulfilling the standards set forth by the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The Oregon seat is currently held

by Dorothy Lowman of Portland, who is eligible for re-appointment to a third term. ODFW will send all nominations to the Governor’s office, which will then forward the names of at least three candidates to the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Department of Commerce for consideration. Successful

appointees must pass an extensive FBI background check.

Anyone interested in being considered, or wishing to nominate someone, should contact Cyreis Schmitt at 541867-4741 or cyreis.c.schmitt@state.or.us no later than Feb. 13.

The Pacific Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to manage fisheries from three to 200 miles offshore of the United States coastline. The Pacific Council is responsible for fisheries off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington.

ODFW creates interactive map for disabled anglers The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently unveiled a Googlebased map that highlights 133 sites across Oregon that may be suitable for anglers with physical disabilities.

Released on Jan. 27, this is the latest in a suite of interactive maps designed to help anglers. Clicking on the map’s icons launches information boxes that include accessibility information about the sites such as fishing platforms, piers, docks, paths, restrooms and parking.

“There are many places around Oregon that offer excellent fishing opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Rick Hargrave, administrator for ODFW’s Information and Education Division. “We hope this map makes it easier for everyone — from the oldest adult to the youngest child and everyone in between, to get out and fish.”

Many of the popular fishing locations across the state are already accessible to anglers with disabilities; the new map is a guide to these areas.

Hargrave noted that accessibility varies, and some sites may not be suitable for all levels of disability.

“Many of the sites were designed to provide people with choices about the type of recreational experience and level of personal challenge they prefer,” he said, noting that all sites should be approached carefully and with assistance, if needed.

The map can be accessed by visiting www.odfw.com and clicking on Maps page or on Where and How page.

everal Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School students showcased their vocal talents at an Honor Choir event held Jan. 30-31 at St. Helens High School.

Participants hailed from schools in Oregon’s District 3, which includes schools in the northwest corner of the state.

High schools and middle schools in District 3 nominate students from their choirs, and those come together to form the district honor high and middle school choirs. Dr Paul Klemme from Willamette University and Sandra Brown Williams from Texas served as choir directors.

By participating in the honor band event, students committed to practice, and plenty of it.

Students were mailed music one to two months

ahead of time, and they prepared it mostly on their own, with some assistance from their directors.

They then met the guest clinicians and worked a day and a half rehearsing as a group on the music in preparation for a 3 p.m. concert on Saturday, Jan. 31.

Selected students were Debie Armas, Mariah Hollock, Raeanna Hughes, Morgan Kirkpatrick, Emilia Cuevas Luna and Cameron Wegner.

“I was pleased all our students were good representatives of Nestucca on this trip, both during and in between rehearsing,” said choir director Kathleen Serven. “They learned from the experience, and bring back to our choirs a deeper understanding of the discipline of music.”

Sizing Up the Season

Size of winter steelhead a pleasant surprise

ere we go again. It seems like every time my article rolls around, we are facing a predicted huge rain storm.

So for the third time in a row the powers that be say we are going to get just that, a huge rain storm. My response is much the same as the last two times — as soon the storm is over and the rivers start to recede that should trigger some really great winter steelhead fishing.

The only difference is that, as we move in to February and March, the numbers of returning fish should be increasing significantly.

collage, print making, fiber art, ed glass, fused glass, and hand crafted tables. All proceeds support the Art Literacy Program.

Organizers are hailing the exhibit and sale as “an opportunity to add to your collection while supporting a great cause!”

The art sale will continue from

6:30-10 p.m. at the chocolate and wine party, for which tickets are required. Complimentary wine, beer, sparkling cider, appetizers, and desserts will be served during the evening event, which will also include a raffle, silent auction, student art, and the music of The Moonshine, a Portland band that will bring a blend of guitar, autoharp, fiddle, banjo and upright bass.

“This year we have some exciting new sponsors, artwork, dessert items, and auction items.

It is shaping up to be a pretty stellar event”, said Dawn Beyer, CAP’s new executive director.

For her part, former executive director and current board member and Art Literacy Program instructor Kim Cavatora says that though the event is primarily a fundraiser for the literacy program, it has become an eagerly anticipated event for the whole community, regularly attracting crowds of 150 for an evening of art, food and fun.

“It’s a way that artists can show their work and people can come and enjoy each others company and good food and look at and buy the artwork,” she said.

“Not only are (attendees) supporting the Community Arts Project’s literacy program, but they’re also supporting artists in our community and that’s important.”

The Art Literacy Programs at Nestucca Valley Elementary School in Cloverdale and Garibaldi Grade School feature an age-appropriate 90-minute art education session held in each

classroom once a month. The classes focus on a famous artist or art movement. The lesson includes art history, technique, and aesthetic analysis, as well as an opportunity for each student to create their own artwork in the style of the artist or art movement presented. More than 450 students are reached every month.

The program is privately funded and presented by CAP, which also presents the children’s summer art program “Slug Soup.” “(The program) teaches kids not just to make art but teaches them about art and some of the history of art. It’s a pretty in-depth lesson,” said Cavatorta. “We think we are really enhancing the lives of our young people. It’s a culture enriching program. It’s not that we are nurturing a large number of future professional artists — it’s more about learning about arts culture (and that makes for) a really enriching experience.”

Funding for CAP programs relies on special events, grants, and the generous donations of local individuals and businesses. Along with Tillamook Regional Medical Center, CAP is celebrating the 2nd annual Heart Health Month this February.

Tickets to the evening event are $25 advance, $30 at the door and can be purchased at the Inn at Pacific City (across from the post office) and at the Kiawanda Community Center as well as online at www.communityartsproject. net For more information, contact 541-450-0656, or communityartsproject101@gmail.com.

Nestucca Cancels Softball Low turnout blamed for cancellation of 2015 season

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

here will be no softball for high school students at Nestucca Jr.-Sr. High School due to an insufficient number of girls willing to go out for the team, principal Randy Wharton announced during the Jan. 26 school board meeting.

Wharton said that the decision was reached after expending all options, including having Nestucca girls join teams in Taft or Tillamook, as OSAA rules allow. He said that didn’t pan out as that would have pushed both schools into a bigger division. OSAA rules mandate that in establishing what division a school plays in, the entire school body counts, not just the number of athletes going out for a particular sport.

“I have tried everything I can,” Wharton said. “We don’t have enough students.”

He added that in discussion with OSAA, Nestucca won’t be in violation of Title 9, which requires equal access to sport for both girls and boys.

“Their opinion is we’re not in violation,” Wharton said. “We did everything we could to have the sport. We did our due diligence.”

Recollections of a Chilly Past

By SALLY RISSEL for the Sun

L

ars John Redberg lived on the family homestead in Oretown (located south of Pacific City). He kept a diary from 1909-1912 about life in south Tillamook County.

The complete diaries of Lars John Redberg are in the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum in Tillamook. They were donated by Erwin and Edna Redberg. The following are excerpts from the winter of 1909.

January 7, 1909: 2 inches

of ice covered by 7 inches of snow. Snowed nearly all day.

January 10, 1909: 30 degrees in our front room last nite. Went sleigh riding making a visit to J.K. Whiteman.

January 12, 1909: Thermometer reading in Cloverdale last nite was 4 degrees above

zero. The bay is almost entirely covered with ice.

January 13, 1909: Bay is covered over entirely and had 1 inch of new snow.

January 29, 1909: Even though terrible rain and wind storms, some snow drifts are 8 feet deep largest.

March 13, 1909: Snow drift was finally gone.

Note: There were very hard winters in 1886, when the Nestucca River also froze over. John Craven and Jerome Dunn could drive their cattle over it. The river froze in 1919-20 and again in 1928-29.

DESPITE A STRONG START, the Nestucca dropped a Feb. 3 game to the Knappa Loggers, 54-42. The Bobcats return to action on Feb. 10 with at game against Faith Bible.

Hot start not enough for ‘Cats

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

F

ollowing another string of victories, Nestucca faced off against Knappa in their home gym. But despite being first on the board and leading for the first half of the game, the Bobcats were beat by the team for the second time this season, with a final score of 42-54.

“We came out too hot in the beginning,” said head coach Jim Kiser. “The energy was so high with it being a home game and senior’s night. It was hard to see the game turn around after doing so well at first, but it was good to see them playing that well — even if it cost us in the end. We had some great shots and good rebounds in the first half. The guys have been struggling with getting sick too,

so that’s taken a toll. Because we’re a small team, some of my guys are out there for the whole game and that can be pretty exhausting especially against a team like Knappa who have some very strong players.”

While the energy was still high, the boys made some crowd pleasing three-point shots and rebounds, ending the first half up 14 points.

“At first it seemed they couldn’t miss,” said Kiser. “But towards the end of the game those shots just stopped falling.”

The Jan. 23 game against Vernonia was the first time the ‘Cats had met the team on the court this season, and they managed to come away with a fairly slim victory of 56-49. A team that Kiser was unwilling to write off as a sure victory, despite beating them earlier in

the season, was Gaston, who the boys met for the second time this season on Jan. 27. The 37-32 win was pretty similar in points to their earlier game, where Nestucca came away with a 37-34 victory. The boys also beat Delphian on Jan. 30 (45-36), and Neah-Ka-Nie on Jan. 31 (56-54).

“It’s been a very good season so far,” said Kiser. “Keenan Wenrick’s confidence on the court has grown a lot, and Brett Elder’s natural talent is really showing. During one of the recent games, he put 30 points on the board. Gillermo Pimienpa, who will be graduating this year, was strong all season.”

The final games of the 23game season are against Faith Bible on Feb. 10 and Vernonia on Feb. 13. The Bobcats are now 15-6 overall and 10-2 in league.

THE LADY ‘CATS recorded their third-highest scoring game against Knappa on Feb. 3, but it wasn’t enough to topple the Loggers, who won 55-35. Nestucca next returns to the court on Feb. 10 when they’ll face Faith Bible.

Loggers top Nestucca

By GRETCHEN AMMERMAN for the Sun

A

s they come to the close of the season, the Lady Bobcats had a couple of close games, including a high point with a 39-25 win against Gaston on Jan. 27.

“This was our first league win in 27 tries,” said coach Tim Foster. “It was also the first time we’ve beat Gaston since 2009, so we’re pretty proud of that one. We played pretty well; it was definitely one of our best games of the season. Kycie Richwine got 17 points in that game, and Jillian Wilkinson made 10. Kycie actually sprained her ankle at the end of the third quarter but she came back in the fourth after it was taped and scored 5 more points. It was a great

win all around.”

On Jan. 30, the girls played Siletz without Kycie, whose ankle kept her out of the game, and lost 30-35.

“She was missed, but we still played them pretty tight, too,” said Foster. “They made 17 free throw points, which made it hard for us.”

Another strong showing was the Feb. 3 game against Knappa (35-55).

“This was our third highest scoring output of the season,” said Foster “But Knappa shot the ball really well. It was a 12-13 point gap for most of the game but we just couldn’t close the gap.”

The final games for the Lady ‘Cats 2015 season are against Faith Bible on Feb. 10 and Vernonia on Feb. 13. Current standings are 4-17 overall and 1-9 in league.
